whether or not there existed conspiracy
IN the County of Laurens before the
finding Of this Indictment; and if you
find there existed O conspiracy, you are
then to find whether it's object, or one of
its objects, was that set forth in this
count, to wit: To hinder, prevent or re-.
strain class Of persons from voting. by
reason of their color, raco or previous
condition of sorvitude. The first count
does not embrace conepiracy formed to
punish that class of voters hecanse they
had voted; but you must find, in order
to convict under that count, that the
conspirators looked to prevent that class
OF persons from voting thereafter.
AS has been stated to you, gentlemen,
by counsel, q conspiracy is an agreement
formed by two or more persons to do an
unlawful act. It is not necessary that
the act should actually be done. The
crime is complete when two or more per-
sons have consented together, or agreed
with one another, to bring the unlawful
result about Bnt it is absolutely neces-
sary, if you find the conspiracy was
formed, that you find lis object was to do
the thing which is charged to have heen
its object in the first count in the indiot
ment. And while it is true that this
agreement must have existed before the
acts mentioned in the evidence. which
are offered to provo it, nevertheless it is
not necessary that the conspiracy should
have existed for any prescribed length Ct
time. The only duration required is
that which is necessary to enable the
minds OF the conspirators to form and
agrec upon the common purpose.
If the jury find from the evidence the
existence of the conspiracy charged in
tho Indictment, having the purpose
charged, then it is necessary that the
jury should find that the parties were
members Of it, and had each agreed and
consented to the. common unlawful pur-
pose. But II the jury believes from the
evidence that what is charged as a con-
spiracy was riot, or mob, or sudden

A Natural Mistake.

A New York correspondent
writes: At at IN evening party in
Madison Avenue this week, a gen
tleman was present with his wife,
not half so old as he, and very
pretty and girlish in appearance.
She was greatly admired, and
countless eyes Dllowed her wher-
ever she went. A young man
from Boston having been intro
duced to her, lost his he 1T in fif-
teen minutes conversation. Just
before midnight, having stimula-
ted his courage with champagne,
be went to the husband and re-
Quested a word with him in the IL
brary, The request was granted,
when the enamored swain burst
forth: ''My dear sir, | hope you
will pardon the suddenness OF the
thing; but ! am SO madly in love
WIN your beautiful da' ghter that
| want to pay my addresses
to her, and win her for my wife,
if possible; though am too hon.
orable to do 30 without her faith
er's concent." The husband
smiled as he said: 81 am little
embarrassed by your declaration,
I might not object-toy your marry
ing the young lady you have seen
with me tonight, if she were not
my wife already. But l fear she
has as many husbands now as she
knows how to. manage. I'll con-
suit her, however, and if she is
willing to add bigamy to her beau
ty, III make no opposition.
The ardent lover YVES struck
dumb with astonishment. After
trying to gasp out an apology for
bis stupid blunder, be left the
house precipitately and returned
to Boston by the first train.

We plainly see a coming state

entedin England for ''complete-

hide or skin, and transferring it,
exactly as it left the hide or
skin to a piece of muslin or 9TH

will ben difficulty in lappying
the process to bare human
heads; and then transplanted

War in the Air.

A correspondent of the Ney
7 ork Herald travelling in Europ,
gives the substance in a recent
letter of q conversation he held
with distinguished anti Prus.
SIAN -German,in which the latter
gave expression to the opinion
that general war between the
leading powers of Europe was
imminent. In answer to the cor
respondents question whether
he had any fears of war he re-
piled: C51 ao.. !
"War! Why the very air
smells of gunpowder. Europe
was never in as critical state
as now. The continentresounds
with the tramp of armed men.
What are Prussia, Austria, and
France? Three camps. The little
countries like Holland, Belgium
and Sweden are even arming.
Look over in England and you
see what has not been since Wa
terloo. Everywhere we smell
war. And good honest people
are flying to the United States.
Germany will lose more men by
emigration than she lost by war.
Men don't like to raise boys for
Sedan and Gravelotte. But war
is written in the heavens. On
ly the next will find the Nations
as we'll armed as Prussia. .
In respect to France he dila-
ted as follows: .as..
"Don't count upon France.
That is a country of surprises.
Every one was surprised when
she whipped Europe in the be-
ginning of the century, just as
they were surprised at her de-
feat by Prussia. But they have
made, and are making, extraor-
dinary exetaions. They have
now the second best army in
Europe, and although Prussia
may beat them again, it will be
after another kind of campaign
than the last" e'a @
Heis notpleased with the atti-
tide of Prussia towards Germa-
ny, and argues evil to the latter
in consequence. He says:
81 have every faith in Germa-
ny. It is a dear, good, great
noble land. But my Germany
is not Prussia, nor does Prussia
represent my aspirations. Ger.
many means peace; Prussia, war.
That Prursian power takes her
lads fresh from school, when the
heart is young and the blood is
mounting and teaches them ha-
tired and how to do murder, and
it holds them in its hands until
theylare thirty years of age, rea-
dy to be thrown into Austria or
France or Russia, s'at the whim
of an old Kaiser, who may have

years ago with Benedetti. You
