exacted exorbitant rates Of fare on their through

in the country has been governed by more fair
and honest principles in making a scale Of prices
for their through passengers, and we doubt
whether "Col. Tom Scott himself could be in

repudiatiOn Of what il terms the ~Nomlnal State

themselves, TO pay that portion of the debt which
i asserts they do not honestly owe. 1t assumes
that both the creditor and the agent Of the State
were aware Of the fact that frauds were being com

The CITOnieis claims that the State, for these

1t may further be said that the people Of South
Carolina were not free people when the bonds
were issued. Her officers were not Of her own

THE CRAWFORD MURDER TRIAL,

EDITOR NEWS: On August 9Th,
after a weeks adjournment, the
court convened for the purpose of
trying the case of the State of Kan
sas against Lewis Crawford. Kel-
lar, County Attorney of Marion
county, and John Martin of Topeka
appeared for the State,and Case ALSO
of Topeka, and Frank Doster of
Marion county, appeared for the de-
PENDANT. Both parties are ably rep
resented, and the case is being care
fully conducted on both sides. But
little time has been consumed in
making and arguing objections.
The following jurors were sworn
to try the case: o. p. Bowman,
w. II. Edmiston, L. d. Childers,
VIM. Stanley, VIM. Hollingsworth,
James Shaw, Jesse Hunt, Isaac
Bethurum, 1. NJ. Cline. Chas. Weav-
er, John T. Wise and John Wood.
After statement of the case, the
prosecution introduced and exap-
ined eight or ten witnesses, and
rested. Mr.. Doster stated thesde-

ed as medical experts OH the part of
the defense. Doctor Homer now
occupies the stand awaiting the de-
cision of the court as to whether or
not he will be permitted to read
from medical authorities to the Jury.
After the defense ceases | pre-.
sumo the State will adduce testi-
mony rebutting the proof of the
defendant as to his insanity.
The argument of the case will be
entered upon about Saturday morn
ing,
1t would be improper for me to
express any opinion as to the result
of the case. 1t is in the hands of a
good and intelligent jury, and their
verdict will be in full accord with
the law aad the evidence. If the
defendant be found guilty of the
charge-murder In the first degree
the punishment prescribed by law
is hanging. Respectfully,
