The NeUs eG Courier is severe on
"Lieut. Col. Merrill, the South Caro-
lima Ku Klu1 catcher" winding up its
bilious diatribo with the assertion that
'no other officer Of tho United States
army who has been stationed in South
Carolina, Gen. Sickles not excepted,
enjoys tue unenviable reputation which
sticks to Col. Merrill"
Well, perhaps it was not in the best
taste for an officer Of the regular army
to accept extra pny for services which
under ordinary circumstances would
have been more properly performed by
a United States Marshal and hangman
but if any services ever deserved pay
and good pay at that, they were pre-
cisoly those rendered by tho "Ku Klux
catcher" Col. Merrill.
And the less the Nems G Courier or
any other Democratic paper says about
the Ku Klux, in the way ofapology or
excuse for that band Of murderers. or of
condemnation OF those who caugh,
them, tho better it will be for the honest
men in this State Of both parties. That
same damnable KuKluxism has stood ii,
the way of reform long enough, and if
the Republicans can afford to forget
their sufierings it is dirty and bad
job for the Ncrs q: Courier to open
their wounds afrcsh.
We shall gladly welcome all fair mon
who accept the Republican faith (even
though some of them may prefer t.
work under another namc) in the effort
to bring about better condition of
things in South Carolina. But that
dctestable corpse Ku Kluxism must bo
kept quiet.
Better that the ship of State should
be wrecked in mid ocean than that she
should ever be stecred or manned by
any Of those who have even the faintest
whisper to breathe in favor Of the Ku
klux.
Let tho dead bury their dead-and

esty be tho only issue

The legal po int involved in the re-
cent jury question at Kinsstrcc is So
important and interesting to tho profes
sion throughout tie State, that / ap
prehend it would be interesting to state
the facts more fully than has been done.
The jury law provides that "thcro shall
be appointed by the Governor, aud con
firmed by the Senate, one officer for
each county in tho State, to be named
and designated n jury commissioner
who, with the county auditor and chair.
man oil the board Of county commissions
ers, shall constitute board of jury
commissioners for the county" Also
that "the board Of jury commissioners Of
each county shall once in every year.
during tho month of January, prepare a
list Of such inhabitants of their re.
spcctive counties, not absolutely exempt
as they may think well qualified to servs
as jurors, being persons Of good moral
characer, of sound judgement, and free
from all legal exccpti'ns," &c. In tho
County of Williamsburg, during the
month Of January last, when the jury
list was prepared, the offers OF jury
commissioner and county auditor were
held by one and tho came individual,

these two Offices, and the chairman Of

act of preparing the list Of such person
as were qualified to serve as jurymeu,
as coutradistlnguishod froma ministerial

only majority, but the presence and
concurring judgement Of every designa-
