CHESTER, Sept 2S.
The Railroad case did not reach an end
yesterday as was expected. The morning
was spent in closing the testimony for the de.
fense the afternoon and a portion Of the
evening were devoted to the speeches Of Maj.
S. P Hamilton, and Col. j. H. Rion. Q. 8.
Brice, Esq, occupied the attention of the
Court considerable time this morning, In
behalf of the plaintiffs. Upon the conclusion
of his argument, the presiding Judge deliver
ed his charge, when the case was given over
into the hands of the jury. Their verdict
was in favor of the plaintiffs for the full
amount-the amount claimed with interest
about 81 800. The jury, in finding their YER
dict, eliminated the element of fraud; charg-
ing the defendants simply with exercising
powers that we're not properly theirs.
The Court will probably continue in ses'
sion until Thursday or Friday. "
Captain John Witherspoon, young law
yer of ability from Rock Hill, is in atten-
dance upon the Court to-day. He is thinking
of forming partnership in the law with one
of our Chester attorneys. He has my best
wishes for his success and happiness in any
alliance he may now or hereafter make-legal,
matrimonial or otherwise. QUI.

part of conspiracy, then they must find
him guilty.
Mr. McPhelin asked another charge, to
which the court assented, and then the Jury
were locked up till seven o'c lock.
The court room was almost deserted up to
that hour, but about half past seven a
respectable audience gathered to know
what the jury had to say. They had moth.

could not agree. On this the State, through
Attorney General Field, moved the jury be
discharged and mistriaI be entered.
The court so ordered Tho iury and
everyone else vanished as soon az possible
and by eight o'clock the iron gates were

There were many runors Of the standing
OF the jury ranging from one for q verdict
Of guilty to eleven on that side. A con.
versation with one Of them resulted in the
information that all were willing to acouit
on one count, and all but one wished to
convict on the other. A compromise on the
''oenefit of the doubt" resulted in an ap
peal to the court with the above result.

fruits and Flowers.

The close of the festival of the Fruit
Growers Association of the Gulf States was
marked by a large attendance and great
enthusiasm. The gentlemen comprising
this most meritorious organization can con.
gratulate themselves upon having at last
awakened the public to its own needs, and
the development of its agricultural indus
tries.
The exposition, this year, was not 30 we'll
supported by farmers and gardeners as it
deserved. But the thousands that attended
the festivals, and admired the specimens
exhibited, will compel the lukewarm and
diffident to contribute next year.
This year there were 135 entries. None
of them were mediocre, and most of them
far above the average. In respect to home
wines particular excellence should be chron-
icled. The champagne, catawba and Port
exhibited by Mr.. H. E. Shrops hire attract
ed much criticism, but the merits of the
home vintage were sustaine d by actual test
New Orleans and vicinity bore off the
larger share of honors.
The exposition closed with concert nm
der the direction of Professor Castro. That
it was successful need not be written,
After the concert there was sale of the
various articles, and so ended the grand
fruit and flower show.

CIVIL MARRIAGE IN RUssIA.-Much diff
ficulty has been experienced in framing
the new Bill, from the fact that the States
composing the Confederation have been
accustomed to enjoy their own laws. For
Catholics, for Protestants, for Jews, for
Freethinkers, the legislation have been
carefully distinct; and as an example of
the diversity of these laws, it may be men
toned that, in the State of Bavaria,
twenty-five different degrees of parental
authority had been defined in the matter of
marriages. The 2Sth clause of the new
Bill will do away with all these discrepan-
cies. The consent of father to the mar
riage of his son is to be rendered compul-
sorry until the son is turned thirty and in
the case of daughter she must be turned
twenty -four ere she can marry without
her fathers consent. The mother will in
herit the same rights over her children. 1t
is true that the children may appeal to the
law in the case of vexatiOus restrictions
but the remedy might be worse than the
evil. The legal age for marriage is to be
eighteen for young men, and fourteen for
young women 80 that the young men may
have to wait for twelve years, and the
young women for sixteen, before they OBJ
tain the consent of their parents. The old
laws as to periods for mourning will be
done away. Eighteen months for widows,
six months and elk weeks for widOwers,
used to be the period spportiOned-a re-
