was; for they followed it up and found

half bushel of green water melon rinds
under the bed. That is the way Asiatic
cholera generally comes-through miasma
and green fruit.

An ABUSE OF THE PARDOSING
POWER.
Three Lusty vagabonds Turned Loose
to Prey Upon a Community.

BEAUFORT December 26.
TO TIE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
We dwellers in Beaufort and vicinity have
another precious specimen of Governor Scott's
wisdom and beneacent action In the exercise
of the pardoning power. He has heretofore
exercised this power in behalf OF criminals
convicted in this county to such an extent as
TO thoroughly unsettle the confidence of our
citizens in the possibility Of restraining crime
and protecting their property. Every muir.
derer goes unhung, aud persons guilty Oh
gross crimes are soon back again to prey upon
society, especially, if they are men "iaslde
last sessions held in Beaufort by his Honor
Judge Thomas, three noted scoundrels from
the Island Of st. Helena were, af.er careful
trial and vigorous defence, convicted OF grand
larceny, and sentenced 10 the penitentiary for
three years. And never did three men more
richly deserve It. They had been the terror
ofthe community where they lived for long
time. No one felt secure with his properly.
COWS, hogs and fowls went their owners

men to be night-walkers, and to have no Vlsl-

store of Messrs. Nichols Il Co. was broken
into under such circumstances as leu 70 tne
detection and conviction of these men. And
since their absence at the Estate HOTEL the
term of relief has been most comforting 10
both white and black, and people began to
feel that they o,oned their own property, and
did not feel In danger of waking up in the
morning to find that idle vagabonds had ap-
propriated tie results of their own labor
But so grateful relief was not to last long
These men were political ''cars.paws;" they
belonged to the "militia" as officers; they

THEKU-KLUX TRIALS.
lHE MOTION FOR 4 NEW TRIAL OYER
RULED By THE COURT.
The Convicted Prisoners Sentenced to
Fine and Imprisonment.

COLUMBIA, December %.
In the United States Circuit Court to-day,
Judge Bond delivered the decision OF the
court upon the two motions made yesterday
by Mr.. Stanberry in behalf Of the Ku-klux
prisoners. viz: For new trial, and in arrest
of judgment The court overruled both mo.
tions.
All the prisoners . 10 have so far been con-
yicted, or who have pleaded guilty, were then
arraigued for sentence:
Jno. ". Mitchell was sentenced to five years
imprisonment and one thousand dollars fine.
Sherard Childers, William Montgomery,
Evans Murphey, Hezekiah Porter, R. b. Mitch
ell, Sylvanus Shearer, Hug Shearer, William
Shearer and James B. Shearer were each SEN
fenced to eighteen months Imprisonment and
one hkadred dollars fne.
Dr. Thomas B. Whitesides was sentenced to
one years imprisonment and one hundred dol
lars fine.
John s. Miller was sentenced to sthree
months imprisonment and twenty dollars ane.
Previous to the announcement of the deci'
sion of the court, upon Mr. Stanberry's mo-
tions, the case of John S. Miller was resumed.
Fae defence showed by several Radical wit
nesses that Miller was opposed 10 the Ku-
Klux: had only attended the meetings, and
then only as a measure of safety to himself
and his colored employees. Tue jury, how
ever, found him guilty, after an absence OF
only fifteen minutes, and he was sentenced as
above stated. PICKET.

Fits in explanation of his plea. The panelling
of jury for the trial Of Mr.. John 5. Miller

remarkable material to select from as in

the district attorney this morning. In calling
up the indictment, stated that he would omit
all the names except those of Messrs. Brown
and Miller, for the ostensible reason that the
rest were to be included In other indictments
and tried in different ways. This would GER

In return for testitying against their more re-
spectable peighbors, were to 60 free of pun

freedom from punishment, they be not also
