COLUMBIA, December 1S.
The Senate passed the bill to repeal the
sterling funding BILL and rejected the follow
ing bills: Bill to authorize county treasurers
to receive the pay certificates of the General
Assembly in payment Of taxes due the State;
bill to amend the act to regulate the manner
of receiving and dsbursing funds, and bill to
amend an act to fix the salaries and regulate
the pay of certain officers.
The House rejected the joint resolution d.
recliug the treasurer to pay 1. W. Hayne five
hundred and fifty dollars, and the bill to in
creas. and define the Jurisdiction Of the City
Court of Charleston.
A debate of four hours followed upon the
question of adopting the report OF the Bowen
committee appointed to inquire into the over
Issue of State bonds. The speaker ruled that
two.thirds vote was required for the adop-
tlon of the report as the sense of the House,
because the adoption OF the final recommen-
datlon of that report would be the first step
towards impeachment. This decision was
overruled, and the report was adopted as the
sense of the House.
At six o'clock, J. G. Bowen introduced q
resolution that R. &. Scott, Governor of the
State of South Carolina, be impeached OF high
crimes and misdemeanors. A similar resolu-
tlon was introduced tor the impeachment OF
Niles G. Parker, treasurer of the State. These

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION.

The latest Mexican advices represent that
Juarez maintains fearless attitude. and speaks
confidently OF crushing the rebellion. The

plain that the opposition is directed more
against the cabinet than JuareZ. The revolu-
tion in the western States Is extending. EX-
traordinary powers are given the Juarist gov

all industries are paralyzed. A United States
proteetorate or annexation is boldly discussed
as the only solution. No important engage

conspiracy that was even attempted 10 De
proved by the prosecution was general one,
not aimed at Williams, but against all Radical
voters. and embracing. all elections. After
learnedly defining the nature OF conspiracles,
how they were constituted. and how far they
were criminal, Mr.. Stanberry contended that
there was a fatal variance between the con-
spiracy alleged in the indictment and the one
attempted TO be proved. Besides making
thorough application of the vast amount
of evidence adduced by the defence
to show this, not only cumulative on the part
of the witnesses for the defence, but embracing
also, In several instances, those Of the prose-
cution, Mr. Stanberry quoted numerous
authorities In support OF hls position, ana
spiracy Is charged it cannot be sustained oy
proof of a special conspiracy, and per contra
when particular conspiracy Is charged, It
will not be supported by proof Of general
conspiracy.
The application of the law, and the evidence
made by Mr.. Stanberry, can but convince any
unbiased mind Of the utter failure of the
prosecntion TO make out the case intended, or
as charged in the indictm ent. Whether or
not there exists prejudice to such extent That
the eyes of justice shall be blinded, is
question that time only can satisfactorily
demonstrate.
At the close of Mr.. Stanberry's argument,
which commanded the attention Ot every one
present, the court adjourned until Monday,
when Mr.. Johnson will close on the part OF the
defence.
The grand jury found true bills against Rob:
ert Cooper, Mary Avery, Louisa Chambers and
Kssey Avery. charged with attempting to de-
ter Isaac Postle, government witness from
teslityiug. So it will be seen that II Jim Will
liams did not carry into execution threat to

RETERDY JOHNSON.
The Position of South Carolina-Her
People Desire Peace-A Verdict OF
Guilty Against the Prisoner.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEws.l


COLUMBIA, S. c., December Is.
In the Ku.Klux court to-day the Hon. Rev
erdy Johnson followed for the de,ence IN the
case of the United States VS.. Robert Hayes
Mitchell. The argument was mastery effort,
such as has not been heard in South Carolina
since the days of McDuffie and Calhoun.
In opening his speech, Mr.. johnson review
ed at leBgth the past history of the State. He
thanked God for the abolition of slavery, and
declared that South Carolina, which fred the
first gun of the war, accepted the result in
good faith She did not do what she thought
was not right. And her people were now as
anxious as any other people for the blessings
of ptace and prosperity. He said that he had
listened with unmixed horror to the tales OF
outrages told before the court. But no proof
had been given of any conspiracy to commit
those ou,ragas, or connecting them with the
prisoners now on trial for conspiracy. Mr..
johnson therreviewed the evidence in detail,
his speech producing wonderful effect.
There was large and highly respectable
audience, who, for 2 long time, listened with
breathless attention to the "old man elo-
quebt."
The Jury, after an absence of thirty-eight
minutes, rendered verdict Of guilty on the
second count. viz, of conspi :acy to inlure
Jim Williams for having voted at the election
of 1870. The counsel for the defence made
motion for new trial. PICKET.
