pho Heat of the Human Body.

The amount OF ice necessary to cool
gallon of water will co, / l6 cubic
yards of air Of tho same teuporature
a man of $50 pounds weight, with his
body at l04 degrees. contains as much
heat as space six yards long, wide
and high, Of the same Temperature.
This explains the reason why room
filled with people raises its ten pera-
turo so rapidly from tho radiation of
heat. To cool this amount Of air to
64 degrees, the temperate heat, are
duction of 10 degrees is required, and
the melting of three pounds of ice
would be amply sufficient to cool the
air, as that would abstract as much or
moro heat than tho body throws off.

WIMMTSsBORQ,
Wednesday Morning, Jan. II, 1872,
End Of tho Ku KIux Trials.

The grand "Inquisitorial" farce at
Columbia, digniied by the name of
U. S. Circuit Court, which has been
doaling out justice, SO called, to the
victims of Radical persecution for
some considerable time past, has, We
arc grati0ed to state, at last adjourn
cd.
The trials have resulted precisely
as we predicted, md developed spir-
it of bitterness, oD the part of the
Government ohd its repre- scritatives,
that went oven beyond our expec,a
tions. Wo expected no fAyors from
Judge Bond, consequently woro not
disappointed at the course he saw it
to pursuc. Nor did We look for the
slightest exhibition OF mercy from
such men rs Corbin and Chamberlain,
the latter named, be it remembered, ,
with the foul tuint of fraud aud cor
ruption soiling his garments.
Nor did wo anticipate impartial and
Aven handed Justice from paoked
jury, a jury composed of supporters Of
the "Ring," and sworn to convict in
the face of every kind Of evidence.
These men simply obeyod the orders
Of their political mast ers, and carried
out tho instructions of tho diabo!ioal
Loyal Heag g.
Ono other character in "the
drama,' We will briefly notice.
The course of Judge Bryan has
caused us DO little surprise, aud
whether or not he acted from con.
scientious convictions, wc do not pro
pose to discuss. We will say this
much, however, that in our hum
bio opinion, his judgment is at fault
concerning the Constitutional points
involved, chiefly as to tho extent of
the authority delegated to the prcsi..
dent by tho Constitution. Neither,
we think, does he show a proper ap~
probation Of that great princi.
pie Fof civil liberty, "Habeas Cor,
pus." We regard this right as sa.
credly inviolable, and its suspension
dangerous to Republican institutions,
and subvorsive Of tho cause Of free
government.
The closing not Of the "Inquisi.
tion" was tho arbitrary attempt to
have the name of an honored Attor-
ney, Col. D. w. McMaster, strick on
from the roll, on tho ground Of his
refusal to be,ray professional conf
denco between himself and his client
DR.. Avery.
We rejOicc that Judge Bond found
ono South Carolinian who would
not kneel ut his feet, and who stood
out manfully indofenee of tho sacrc d
privileges that Others sought to vic
late.
