STARTLING PROPOSITION.

Under the above heading, the San
Francisco Chronicle gives the facts
concerning a proposition before the
Grand Jury of California. II says:
I" 1t is embraced in the case of the
People against Daniel Mclaughlin
which was argued before the Supreme
Jadges in this City on Saturday last.
Our readers will best understand the
point involved by brief statement of
the facts Mclaughlin was indicted by
the Grand Jury of Sacramento for the
murder of Luudholm. He was tried in
the District Court a few weeks since
and after the jury bad been out for
long while, on their representation that
it would be impossible for them to agree,
Judge Ramage discharged them from
further consideration of the case, to
which the defendant objected. A pc.
tition is now filed stating these facts,
and the prisoners counsel. James w.
Coffort, demands the unconstitutional
discharge of bis client, on the ground
that if subjected to another trial he
will be tpice put in jeopardy Of his life,
which is unconstitutional. AS he is
indicted for murder, he can be tried
for no other otfense, and his discharge
must follow if the position assumed by
his Ingenious counsel be correct The
fact that the Supreme Judges took the
matter under advisement shows that the
arguments in support of this startling
proposition have been impressive, and
that there is something in it than the
suggestions of an ingenious lawyer.
Dlvestcd of verbiage, the point resolves
itself practically to this: If any one
who commits the crime of murder can
secure disagreement of the first jury
called to try the issue, his discharge
follows, because his life cannot again be
put in jeopardy. In jury Of twelve
it requires only one obstinate man to
cause disagreement. \ jury must be
discharged after having had the case
under consideration reasonable length
of time. and Judge Ramage, in the
Mclaughlin case, did exactly what is
done every day in our Courts. If the
Judge cannot discharge a jury in a
murder case, he cannot in larceny or
burglary case, and justice is virtually
cheated of her dues Should the Su-
preme Court decided in favor of the
point raised by FolIort. there wonld be
a general delivery of murderers from
the State Prison who have been con-
sicted. on second trial. Of murder ia the
second degree or OF mansaughtcr, and
are serving out terms Of imprisonment
Besides this would be the great incen>
tive, IN addition to that which already
exists, Of tamfering with the jury; aud
that Il jury can, under certain circum.
stances, 'c tanpered with, is frequent,
u illustrated in the Courts Heretofore
the decisions have generally been un>
derstood to be that where a jury disa
grecs, there was TO such jeopardy of
life as contemplated by the Constitution
but We understand tha, the counsel for
the prisoner cited some very direct and
positive authority sustaining his posi-
ton. The judgement Of the Supreme
Court will be awaited with lively inter
est.

FOURTH or JULY. 1876.


Congress, as well as the people gem
orally, are considerably interested al
ready in the coming centennial, and are
taking active measures to have general

Bill in relation to the matter. After a
suitable Whereas, the Bill goes on to
provide that an Exhibition of Arts, &c.,
be held under the auspices of the Gov>

Commission, to consist of one from each
of the States and Territories, be appoint

bition, and in conjunction with the au-
thorities of Philadelphia, fix upon a
suitable place for holding it. The Com
mission is to meet and transact their
business in the City of Philadelphia.

From JOSEPHINE CoUNTY.-A friend
writes us from Josephine that the debt
of that county has been reduced to less
than $4,000, and that it is the intention
topay it all off this year. He also in
forms US that there is ample range in
that county for 100, 900 head of stock
and large importation is expected this
season. 1t seems to us like folly for our
stock raisers to go off East of the noun

such splendid openings in an adjoining
county, aud that too, where their stock
is not 50 likely to be killed off by hard
winters and snow storms. Piaiadeuier.

A NEW TACK.

We had supposed, after waiting two
issues of the Christian Messeager with
out seeing anything directed to the
REPUBLICAN, that the Messenger had
concluded to let us alone in our blind
ness, even though we might be wor>
shipper of strange Gods. But it seems
we are not to have peace, for the editor
now, instead of sticking to his work and
proving his points, or owning that we
were right and he was wrong, threat,
ems us with host of communica>
tions which he says he has on hand, and
as commencement gave one last week
from Parson b Now we have no means
of knowing who Parson B. is, but pre-
sumo he is man Of reliability, or the
Messengers columns would not be open
to his communication. And while we
feel diffidcnt, without any assistance, to
undertake a seige with host of COM
municators, yet we trust that good may
be accomplished, and if we are in error,
that we may be convinced.
AS starter, the Parson gives the
following quotation from Timothy ::
And without controversy, great is the
mystery Of Godliness God manifest in
the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of
Angels, preached unto the Geuties,
believed on 10 the world, received up
into glory" and enquiries of the editor
Of the Messenger, modestly," what do
you make of this :? Now it seems rather
strange to us that the editor Of the
Messenger should draw such documents
as this upon US, when it is evidently
the intention of the querist to get an
explanation from the editor of the Mes
senger upon the same point which has
been at issue between the Messenger
and the REPUBLICAN, The Parson
does not make any attempt at an ex>
PLANTATION, but goes on to show from diff
ferent quotations that Christ was not
the only one called God in the Bible,
and asks "the learned editor at Dallas
f,r fs,~p rf he
Judges the very God and his mater
nal parent the mother of God and
were his sisters godesses ?" And winds
up the sentence by saying, " No one
will suppose that | am institntiEg any
comparison between Jesus and Jewish
Judge" Now if this is not the object
of the Parson in using these express
sions, will he tell us what his object is ?
But we get clue to the intentions of
the Parson in the conclusion of his ar
ticle. In that he gives Us to understand
that it is futile for a finite mind to
grapple with such comprehensive sub
ject as the divinity of Christ, and gives
quotations from numerous writer's of
high rank to show, that the more they
studied and wrote, the less they com,
pretended these great questions :
Then the only way we see is for each
to rea and interpret for himself, in &C
cordance with the best light he can
get, and stand or fall upon his own
merits.
We still see nothing to show to us
that Christ was not God. We have
given many passages to show where he
was called so in the Bible. and could
give more, but the editor of the Mes
eenger tells US, when we find such pas,
sages as Everlasting Father, the eter-
Son, &C." applied to Christ, we may
brand them as human folly.

These were the words used by Lee as
he put his hands upon his heart, when a
friend, called to congratulate him on his
convalescence, and to express the hope
that his health would soon be perfectly
restored; upon which General Hampton
comments thus as he brings Lee and his
eulogy to harmonious ending: "The

the people whom he loved SO we'll, wore

The Coiored Population OF South Caro-

The Coiored Population OF South Caro-
linn.
One of our exchanges in the State
suggests that the PHOENIX will, it be-
lieves, faithfully represent the white peo-
pie of South Carolina. We hope to do
this. but to do more. We think it very
likely that our views and attitude, as re-
spects the negro population of this State.
are very little understood and less appre-
ciated. Whilst we do hold, and shall
ever maintain. the prerogatives of tie
white raoe 70 coa.-o! the Government
and direct the civilization of this coun-
try and this State, we do not ignore the
negro man. and we freely soy that we are
fully bound to acknowledge his rights
and to give him fair showing. AS our
views are developed on this subject. it
will, perhaps. be seen that our public
labors do not exclude tho colored inhabi-
tants OF the State from common advan-
tages, and that this journal is really the
advocate of the real interests of all
classes of the people who seek honest
ends by honest methods. Whilst we
stand up squarely and stropgly-in sen
son and out Of season-for the outraged
white people OF South Carolina, and feel
the foul wrongs done them since tho war
in every fibre Of our being, &c: nc war
not upon tho colored people of The State.
Conscious OF the inherent strength Of
the white element, and of it's early supre-
macy, we shall, in victory aud defeat,
and under MI circumstances, advocate
for the colored race. placed here by Pro-
videnco. just such a policy as Heaven
would sanction and good men, The world
over. would approve. When the honest
white mon and the honest black men
look each other squarely in the face, they
will separate, each satisfied to work out
his own destiny and to leave the result
to God.

Who Arc the Guilty Perties3

Up to this time the colored element in
the Legislature has had to bear the olium
OF fraud and treaohery from which Scott
and his ring have become rioh. They
literally rit on the shoulders OF the
colored people and fatten on the apples
they are thus enabled to reach. while
they take good care not to hand down
to the patient drudges who sustain their
weights Yet the colored members have
to bear the sin of robbery, and are fast
sinking down in the estimation of good
people, because of their alleged pertici-
patton in the frauds that have boen per-
petrated ut Columbia by their white
.'masters" OF the ring. Let the line be
drawn and let the guilty parties be
known. and monopolize the infamy that
will inevitably attach to the public officer

s.Tho Cat In Tho nIeal.v

We stuffed some time ago that since
the meeting of the last Legislature,
S22S, 600 had been paid out OF the State
Treasury on account Of public printing.
10 gentleman, Scott admitted that
$l95, 600 had been 30 paid out. The
larger sum we believe correct. We learn,
further, that claims on tho same account
to the amount of $50. 900 are still pend
ing. Think OF it-$278. 600 expended or
incurred for printing alone. OF this
sum, the Democratic papers received for
printing the Acts. &c., say, about $40,-
600. The balance went to the Radical
press, and the thieves who, after paying
the Radical press their charges for work
done, divided the spoila. 1t is claimed
that the "Republioan Printing Com.
pany" got the contract to do the public
printing, but that the actual printing was
done by the Carolina Printing Com.
pany," Of which tho Union editor was
Treasurer. The Union says that it re-
ceived only fair compensation for il
public printing. The Union. however
must certainly be posted on the subject

THAT Message.
We continue. today, the publication
OF tiia notorious State paper. When it
was ramored that Mr.. Thomas Jefferson
Maokey was engaged on Governor
SCOTS message, we remarked that Mr..
Maokey's grim humor would lead him
to write the Governor down in his true
oolors. This has been done, and we can
picture to our mind the sardopio laugh
which will break over Mr. Maokey's
features as he reads the language he has
put in Governor Soott's message. It is,
Indeed. remarkable piece of compost
tion. We shall not dignity it with an
analysis or a formal review. 1t is its
own best refutation. Whatever is good

let it be treated with the contempt it 80

1t places the whole responsibility for the
very corrupt and desperate condition of
things upon the State Legislature, the
political opponents Of his administration
and the State press. Especially hard is
