the existence Of the pit, which is on the lana
known as the "GrifSn land" but there was
no evidence showing who digged it, or when
it had been done. The Trial Justice ruled
that he could hear only the testimony for
complainant, which debarred the defense from
introducing evidence. The Trial Justice,
then, after lengthy argument from counsel
on both sides reserved his opinion until next
day, when he decided to discharge Mr.. Finley,
and to bind over to the Circuit Court, S. W.
Robinson and Isaac Grifin-the former on
his own recognizance in bond of $500, and
the latter to give bail in a similar amount
Failing to give bail, Griffin, who is stran'
ger-having been in the employment of Mr.
Finley but few days previous to bis arrest
was committed to Jail.
On Friday last, Griffin appeared before
Trial Justices w. B. Allison and j. B. Will
liams, on writ of habeas corpus, and his own
and a number of other afidavits were read,
all of which contradicted in every particular
the statement made by the complainant on
the Thursday previous. The prisoner, in his
affidavit, denied having ever made the state
ment attributed to him by the complainant as
to threats that had been made, or as to the
purpose for which the pit had been dug; and
John Robinson, who had been summoned tor
complainant, but whom counsel for the pros
ecution declined to examine before Trial JUS
tice Wagner, also made affidavit to similar
purport-denying emphatically that he had
ever confessed to complainant that violence
was threatened, or that the hole alluded to
was dug for complainant's grave. The case
was again argued at length on the merits Of
prisoners petition-Mr. Hart in favor Of sus
tanning the decision of Trial Justice Wagner
and Mr.. Bell advocating the release of the
prisoner on the same conditions accorded to
his co-defendant, Robinson. The Justices
granted the prayer Of the petitioner, and he
was discharged from custody on his own re-
cognizance.

SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE CENTENNIAL.

SVC1h CAhVhlN!A hND AHh OAIA> AN A-A As

Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Socie-
ty, urging the necessity of some action on the
part of the people to have the State represent.
ed in the National Centennial exhibition on
the Fourth of July, 1876, to which Major
Woodward replies in effect, that the appoint
ment of Gen. VIM. Guerney as the Commits
sioner, selected by ex. Governor Moses, to rep.
resent this State, precludes the possibility of
him, as President of the Society, having any
part or lot in the celebration. From Major
Woodward's letter we extract the following
paragraphs:
The present commissioner shall and can
never represent me or mine. lie is the fit
representative of South Carolina carpet-bag-
gers, and not of the descendants Of South
Carolina Revolutionary patriots
While Governor Moses is to be blamed for
the nomination, Gen. Grant cannot be excused
for making the appointment without remon-

Why, sir, have the signers of the Declara-
ton Of Independence of 1776-Rutledge,
Hayward, Lynch and Middleton-no living
representative Have the names of Hayne,
Sumter, Marion, Hampton, Kershaw, Butler,
and the sons of many other Revolutionary
patriots I could name, all departed from the
State? Even in this event, could no native
born citizen be found to represent South Car
olina, one of the original Thirteen!
The insult, sir, is pointed; it must have
been designed to degrade. No, sir, I shall
not, nor do 1 think any trueSo Carolinians
will, take part in the Centennial, under the
auspices Of the present commissioner. Some
may be present, but they will be mere "look'
ers on in Venice"
The late cordial greeting given to the rep
resentatives of South Carolina at the Bunker
Hill celebration, makes me the more regret
that we cannot, without unmanly humiliation,
meet the true men of the North at Philadel-
phia, and thus remember, and remember only,
that we are all the descendants of the heroic
rebels of the glorious Revolution of 1776.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

arrested in Charleston last week, upon the af-
fdavit of colored man named Cyrus h.
Rivers, charging Delany with breach of trust
and larceny. The Neus and Courier says
that the substance of the affidavit is, that
"Cyrus R. Rivers was in 1871 the chairman
of the trustees of the John Wesley Church of
Johns Island that about the-day Of,
1871, Martin R. Delany had feloniously sto'
len, taken aud carried away from the house
of one Telemachus Baynard the sum of two
hundred and twelve dollars, the property OF
the above mentioned church, upon the pre-
text and promise that he would pay the same
to the church. But this he (Delany) had
not done, and had fraudulently appropriated
the money for his own use. Delany, in re.
sponse to question by the justice, gave bail
in the sum ofs1, 1000 to appear at the next
term of the court. This case is based on the
old story that was so popular at all the Radi'
cal pow-wows during the lateState campaign
and Delany says he is very glad that it has
come to head at last, when he will have the
opportunity of mailing the lie."

pointed Hon. T. G. Dunn receiver, which ap-
pointment was consented to by G. D. Melton,
counsel for the bank.
AS the public are generally aware, Hardy
Solomon, the President of the suspended bank,
and the reputed owner of nearly all the stock
of the concern, is large grocery merchant in
Columbia. His grocery store is going on as
usual, and he is represented as being not at
all dismayed; but to the contrary says private
depositors shall lose nothing by the embar-
rassment of the bank, and that he will pay
every dollar he owes but that the State will
be forced to shoulder $4,000 which he
claims will offset that much of his public
debt. This, probably, gives rise to the fol-
lowing speculations by the Columbia cores
pondent of the News and Courier, who writes ::
"There is a good deal behind this suspen-
sion that the public does not suspect as yet.
The grocery is still doing an immense busl-
ness, and Mr.. Donaldson says will not be at

on the public debt and leave perhaps not a

SUSPENSION OF sOLOMON's BANK.

Considerable excitement was created in
Columbia on Friday last, by the announce
ment that the South Carolina Bank and
Trust Company, of which Hardy Solomon is
the President, had suspended. The institu-
ton is the outgrowth Of the Scott, Moses and
Neagle ring, and while that band of 6nanciers
was in power and able to control the disposi-
ton of the State funds, everything went love-
ly with the bank, and it soon became power
in the land. But this state Of things was not
destined to continue The administration in
augurated by Chamberlain gave early indi-
cations of a determination to reform some Of
the glaring evils of the past. Even Cardozo
betrayed his want of confidence in Solomon's 8
bank aud although bill was passed by the
last Legislature designating the South Caro-.
lima Bank and Trust Company as the sole
depository of the public funds of the State,
the bill was vetoed by the Governor, who, in
that action, had the sympathy and support of
the State Treasurer From the date of the
failure of the bill, the fortunes of the bank
commenced to wane, and the final collapse
ensued on Friday, by the dshonoring Of a
check for $4,000 presented by the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad.
Of the deposits in the bank at the time Of
the suspension, there was of State funds $685.
600; deposited by county treasurers, $4,000;
and of private deposits about $4,000. 1t is
claimed, however, that the State is indebted
to Solomon in the sum of $4,000, which
would leave balance due the State of $751;
900. The following are said to be the assets
of the bank:
