of honesty aud conscientious seruples,
and get back i'll brides accepted by
themselves more than four fold the

rank by the side of Grant, and spare
no possible malignant. effort to de-

sion was prolonged week beyond the
time, fixed for adjournment by the ef-
forts of Grants henchmen to clothe
their chief with imperial power to de-
clare martial law, suspend the habeas
corpus, arrest and imprison all who
dared to oppose him, establish baye-
net rule az all election boards, and
thus prolong his lease of power. But
he slipped up. on it; and the people
have reason TO hope that the rule of
despotism is fast drawing to close.

The Radicals think that is a lie, and
Grant thinks il is altogethera mis-
take; or he did think so up tolthe
time Congress refused TO longer trust
him with the imperial power he so
much. coveted. Since then he has
reason 10 entertain some doubts upon

little tired of being goperned, and
begin to think they are capable Of
governing themselves. II What they
want is not cruel tyrannical master

pacity to comprehend their wants and
their will, and not q despot to fercs
upon them his tyrannical rnle. i'2

THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

THE UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.
The United States Circuit Court met in
special term in the Nickerson House at Co.
lumbia, on Monday last. His Honor, Judge
George S. Bryan, United States Marshal r..
ert M. Wallace, Assistant District Attorney
William Stone, and other subordinate officers
were present. The grand and petit jurors
who had been summoned were called, and
finally discharged. The usual sessions orders
were called. All recognizances for appear
ance under prosecution and otherwise were
continued, on motion of the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, until the fourth Monday of
November, 1872, when the regular term will
be held.
In the case of the United States VS.. Joseph
Crosby, of Fairfield county, charged with con-
spiracy, on motion of S. P. Hamilton, Esq,
defendants attorney, it was ordered that the
prisoner appear before Commissioner Boozer,
who was instructed to admit him to bail in
the sum of $4,000 for his appearance at the
next term of the court.
In the case of the United States vs.. Capt.
w. H. Trezevant, for alleged violation Of the

only an adjournment of hostilities. The Gov
ernment says the same correspondent is ma
king strenuous efforts to bring the army up
to its fullest capacity; there have been large
purchases of horses in Hungary, England and
Germany; the workshops for the manufac-
ture of artillery and firearms are in full blast;
Paris is being strengthened by new lines of
forts; and provisions sufficient to maintain a
large army and the citizens for two years have
been brought into the capital. The soldiers
are under constant and severe discipline, and
are kept in camp, away from the demoralizing
influences Of large cities, and the morale of
the army is said to be excellent. Although
the condition of France has greatly improved
since her late bout with Germany, it is not
probable that she will be willing or able to
cope with the latter country on the battlefield
for years to come. Besides, Prince Bismarck
has watchful eye on his ancient enemy, and
would not be likely to be caught mapping.

ance to-day General Banks expressed en-
phatically his belief that Greeley will be
elected President.
= Senator Sumner says he cannot doubt that
the feeling of the country for Greeley and
Brown Will assume the form pf a,great revo-
luton, which will sweep the country as it has
not been swept for years by political party.
He looks,upop~the nomination Of Grant at
Philadelphia as quite providential. Proyi-
dence, he says, was wiser than any of the pol
iticians or public men of the country. If any
other man than Grant had been nominated
the Republican party would have stood solid
and united as before. Then the Democrats
would have made. straight7out nomination,
and the bitterness and hostility of years would
still have been kept up. By Grants nomina-
ton, however, many of the best men ofthe Re-
publican party we're driven off, and they, uni
ting with the Democrats, formed a party whose
central idea was reconciliation and peace, a
recognition of the rights ofall men before the
law, and an obliteration of the bitter lines that
have divided the different sections of the coun-
try since the war. He is very hopeful of the
result, and does not see what possible chance
there is for Grants reelection.

THE OLD FIELD PINE.

The upper half of the State of South Caro-
lima possesses some rare blessings. One, and
not the least of these, is the wonderful rapid
ity with which what is called the "old field
pine" springs up and grows. This growth is
strange in many respects. Usually, the trees
do not attain to very great size and they
are destitute of what is called heart-wood.
For ordinary building purposes, they are ad-
mirably adapted; and for ire-wood, when
used in stove, they are good enough. Rails
made from old field pines will not last as long
as those made from some other kinds Of
timber; but nearly as long as the rails made
of western oaks. In some sections, when land
is once cleared, it will remain destitute of
trees for long period of years. Such is not
the case in the upper half of South Carolina
Land may be cut down and worked until it
will not pay for the labor; and if turned out,
it will, in ten or fifteen years, be densely
covered with pines. If proper precaution is
taken to stop the gullies before the land is
turned out, it will, in fifteen years, not only
be covered with pines, but be so restored that
it will be as good, if not better than it ever
was. There are many fields of land in the
region of country spoken of which have been
cleared and worn out three times within the
last fifty years.
This natural blessing indicates two advan-
tages which we, in the upper half of the State
of South Carolina, possess. Wood for fuel
will never be absolutely scarce, and should
the fence laws remain as they now are, we will
always he able to fence our fields. Ten acres
of old field will bear enough of old field pines
to keep forty under fence. The other advan-
tage is, that this county, if simply let alone,
will never wear out. This old field pine fea-
ture is very remarkable one. The only way
that you could convince the inhabitants Of
some countries, and even of some sections Of
our country that field would become covered
with considerable sized trees in fifteen years,
would be to let them see it. Such thing is
contrary to every thing to which they have
been accustomed. Should the soil of the up
per half of South Carolina undergo no change,
there will never be any need to plant out trees
to restore the forest. All that is required to
cover every old field with dense forest is to
let it alone. No manure is required to restore
our land to its original fertility. The old
field pine will make an old worn out field rich
in ten or fifteen years. Such feature as this
exists in few regions of the world. 1t adds tc
the intrinsic worth of our lands. 1t must be
confessed that the advantage is little appre-
ciated. Few persons, although they have seen
the old field pine spring up and grow as if by

PARDON FOR EU.KLUX,

Hon. Gerritt Smith, of New York, who is
a strong supporter of President Grant and
was one of the bondsmen of Jefferson Davis,
has recently visited the ku-klux prisoners in
the Albany penitentiary. In letter to the
President, he urges clemency in the case Of
Samuel G.. Brown, of York county, David
Collins, of fSpartanburg, and Hezekiah Porter,
the latter of whom he represented as dying.
Since the letter was written, Porter has died.
Mr.. Smith, however, suggests to the President
that the pardons should be postponed until
after the election, on the ground that it will
be thought that the clemency was prompted
by interested motives. He represents that
Shotwell, of North Carolina, is defiant and
scorns pardon, and that he is engaged in stu"
dying law.

heartily into the Liberal movement Th'
Greeley and Brown campaign is being thor
oughly organized in all parts of the State.

EXTRAORDINARY Y1ELD.-Last fall Mr.
A. J. Woodson, agent of the agricultural de:
partment at Washington, received from that
city a small quantity of "Fultz" wheat. He
presented it to the society here, which turned
It over to Mr.. NJ. Graybill to experiment with
and report his success. At its meeting last
Saturday the society received this report,
which shows an extraordinary yield:
Mr.. Graybill sowed three pounds and
half of this wheat October 10th, and harvest
ed the crop July 26th. 1t yielded by meas.
ure five and half bushels, and by weight
333 pounds. This wheat came from Penn
sylvania, and has peculiar origin. One
grain was found in bag Of guano, which was
planted, and from it seed was secured which
is now used extensively in that State.-Fin'

half way believed, but persisted in the opin-
ion that Stanley did not find Livingstone
that it was Stanley who got lost and Living
stone found him. Even on this assumption
the Herald could have rested with sufficient
notoriety; but not content Herewith, it has
shaken even American credulity by publishing
letters which purport to have been written by
Livingstone to young Bennett, the perusal of
which lead the reader irresistibly to conclude
either that the letters are forgeries, or if gen.
une, that the writer is crazy. The Boston
advertiser, in commenting upon the absurdi-
ty of these eHusions, good humoredly re-
marks that if they are genuine the Doctor has
adapted his style to his medium of communi-
cation with remarkable facility. The follow
ing quotation will suffice to show the silly
style of the letters in question, and cause
many to doubt the sincerity of the Heralds
pretensions:
"Many of the women are very pretty, and
like all ladies, would have been much pref
tier if they had only let themselves alone.
Fortunately, the dears could not change
charming black eyes, beautiful foreheads,
nicely-rounded limbs, well-shaped forms and
small hands and feet, but must adorn them
selves, and this they do C'oh, the hussies ~
by filing splendid teeth to points like cats
teeth. It was distressing, for it made their
smile-which has so much power over US he
donkeys-like that of crocodile ornaments,
scarce. What would our ladies do if they
had none, but pout and lecture US on woman's
rights ?"

The U. 8. District Court resumed It's session,
yesterday afternoon, at 8 o'clock, Judge Bradford
on the bench. The trial Of Jane Irwin, she hav-
ing no counsel, was fixed for this morning at 10,
At which time it was thought, counsel might be
obtained for her. In the meantime, she remained
in custody Of U. s. Marshal Dunn, who had no
other place of confinement available than the
City Hall cells.
At six O'Clock. the Grand Jury came into Court.
and reported through their Foreman, Benz. 3.
Booth, ESQ, that they had not completed their
consideration Of the business laid before them.
They were therefore discharged until 10 o'clock,
to-day number Of colored men, and others
summoned as witnessed in the indictments for
violations Of the Enforcement Act, were present
in Court.
WEDNESDAY MORNING,
Court met at ten O'Clock, J. NJ. Williamson
aud j. H. Booth, Esq., appeared for Jane Irwin,
and the trial was postponed until Thursday
morning at ten o'clock The petit jurors, and
the witnesses we're discharged until that time.
Upon the question argued yesterday, as to
compelling the production in Court of the books
and papers in the charge of the Clerk Of the
Peace OF New Castle county, Judge Bradford
declined to grant such an order. under the state
OF facts shown, no refusal having been made by
the Clerk to furnish certified copies of the re-
cord, which, by the State law are made compe-
tent evidence Of their contents. The Court,
however, intimated that IL such refusal had been
made, an order to produce the originals would
have been granted, and referred to an English
decision, requiring the production OF such papers
on writ OF subpoena duoes tectn by the Clerk to
a Board of Commissioners Of Taxation.
II is proper to state that before the rendering
of the Courts decision, Mr.. Springer. the Clerk
of the Peace, had producedin Court the original
records and papers which were desired for use
in the case.
The Court finally adjourned, the Grand Jury
not having made any presentmsnts, to 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. The Grand Jury will sit
meanwhile, upon its own adjournments.
