The Parker case...Attorney. General Mel
tons Speaoh.. IA


tons Speeph. h
We believe we but express the general
sentiment of all who heard tho argument
of Attorney-General Melton in the Par
ker case, last Monday, when we say that
1t was one of the most successful efforts
of his life. He exhibited a very tho
rough acquaintance with the matters in
volved in the case, and remarkable
facility of making the most difficult
points clear to the jury; while his wit
was as flowing and his manner as mimi
table as ever. But it is for other quail
ties than these that his argument has re-
ceived the highest commendation. In
the past seven years of Republican admi-
nistration in South Carolina, there has
unquestionably been large amount of
official fraud and corruption in the ma
nagement of public affairs. aud the native
South Carolinians who ,haye- acted with
the Republican party have not, as n class,
shown the iveliest determination to pre-
vent the continuance Of that fraud and
corruption, or to bring its perpetrators to
justice. But Attorney General Melton, q
native South Carolina Republican, has
evidently taken hold of this Parker case
with the purpose of exposing the embez-
element of which the ex-Treasurer has
been guilty, and of bringing the ex-Trca-
surer himself to account; and the result
shows, as far as the verdict of jury can
show, that his purpose has been met
with complete success. We feel assured
that this is q turning point in the affairs
,-of South Carolina, and that the move
.anent. 50 auspiciously begun, will be
continued until the menwho have robbed
her treasury and sullied her good nnme
will be compelled to restore the spoils
they have garnered or1eave, her soil to
!escape the reckoning (Which awaits them;
and itiS for ths!fesnlts which we believe
are likely TO follow the action In this
case, as well as for that action itself, that
we are inclined to bestow the full need
of praise on Attorney General Melton.
It is to his determined purpose and pub
lic spirit, sustained by q, his associate
counsel, Col. Rioh, as we'll Us by Comp
troller- General Dunn and Mr.. Cavender,
that the people of South Carolina owe
whatever has been gained in this case.
and, in great measure, whatever shall
be gained in the same direction here
after.

The OPERA HoUsE.-There was quite
slim crowd in the Opera House, last
night, owing to the attractions elsewhere;
but, nothing daunted, the professionals
and amateurs exerted themselves and
furnished pleasing entertainment. To-
night, there will be change of pro-
grammc. Reserved seats at Wheeler
House.
Court OF COMMON PLEAs.-Thc Court
met at 10 o'clock. The case Of Daniel
II. Chamberlain, Thos. G. Dunn, Samuel
w. Melton, VIM. B. Nash and Paris Sim
kins, Commissioners of Sinking Fund,
as. Niles G. Parker, was called. Col.
Rion stated that he, in the name of the
Attorney-General, desired this case dis
missed. An order dismissing the case
was thereupon made. The plaintiffs
case is in nowise prejudiced by this pro-
ceeding. The case can be instituted
again, either against Parker alone, or
against as many moro as tho Attorney
General may think proper-in other
words, the plaintiffs are just in posi-
tion to start anew, and at such time as
they may deem most expedient. A few
cases which had been reserved for arQu-
nAent at chambers, were then calledNin
spme orders were taken; others postponed
until future day. :
The Court adjourned at 11.3O, to meet

organism will be advantageous or the re-
verse. Such revolution in our system
Of labor must necessarily produce i'm
portant changes in the society, and we
are deeply concerned in knowing whe-
ther, upon the whole, the result will be
progress or decline. Whatever may be
our views of those bitter experiments,
which, under the iron rule of war, have
left us in our present condition, and
however much we may regret that we
were not permitted to work out for our
selves our own future, and to have thus
avoided the terrible effects of forced and
arbitrary changes Of our institutions and
habits, yet, taking the facts as they now
exist, an unprejudiced consideration of
the subject unquestionably justifies the
has been increased, and that the present
opportunities for developing our. re-
sources are greater than are possible
under the old regime. The material re-
sources of the South had been developed
to very limited extent, as compared
with her population and wealth, hence
We have always been, in this respect, the
most helpless and dependent people of
the civilized world. Il is conceded that
the greatest source Of weakness to the
Confederate cause vas the inadequacy of
the material and supplies of war for the
numbers enrolled in our armies. We
were stronger in every other respect.
There was, of cOurse, much to admire in
the refinement and culture of Southern
society before the war, but there was lit
tie opportunity for that rapid increase of
population and general diffusion of
wealth 80 characteristic Of the North.
Our people relied alnnost exclusively
upon agriculture; but the people of the
North, besides tilling the ground,
directed their attention aud euer-
.gies to commerce and manufactures,
those other handsmaids Of prosperity.
