the keeley motor, are not acquainted with
these devices.
One of the strangest developments connect
ed with the keeley motor is the implicit faith
which many gentlemen in this community, of
tried experience and business capability, have
given to the enterprise. They have yielded
not only faith but their money. We can ac-
count for this only by supposing that they
mistake mere pressure for motive power. But
! mere pressure is not motive power it is SIM
ply resultant of motive power. A very
Slight motive power, if sufficiently long con.
tinued and properly applied, may produce
the greatest pressure. A weight of only a
single pound, hung upon the extremity of a
suitable lever, is sufficient to produce press
ure at the opposite end of the lever of 10000
pounds or more to the square inch. TO per-
sons not familiar with the laws of mechanics
(and this, we think, is probably the situation
of most of the Kelley inventors) the exhibit
ton Of gauge showing 10000 pounds press
ure might readily be regarded as proof posi-
tive of an enormous power behind the gauge !;
whereas the actual power concealed from view
might be only weight of one pound.
In cases Of this kind, when body is lifted
or pressure produced, the inquirer should
take pains to ascertain what the extent of the
original moving power or weight is. If this
precauton be taken, the falsity of motors like
Keeley's may be at once detected. In the ex-
ample of keeley, the certificate Of Collier
shows that a hydrant force of 26E pounds to
the inch is always required to run the ma
chine. This force if applied to d common
wheel or engine, wolld produce a considera-
bic amount of constant mechanical power
But the moving force is nearly all wasted in
Keeley's device, for he is only able to drive
toy engine for a minute or two at time
This does not look much like driving train
of cars from Philadelphia to New York, or
crossing the ocean without the consumption
of coal.

sentatives of the past and the present. The
contrast between the two is very striking, and
it can be at once seen how great the improve
ment made in steam power in the last seven
years, the period lapsing between the building
of the two. We are pleased to see that our
friend Tozer is so full of energy and enter
prise, and wish that orders for his excellent
engines may multiply on his hands until be

negroes, who were convicted Of murder at the
February term of the Charleston Court of
General Sessions, and who had been thrice
reprieved, were hanged in the Jail yard at
Charleston last Friday, in the presence of a
crowd of several thousand persons, most of
them colored men and women. An unusual
proceeding, after the execution, was the i'm.
pannelling of jury of inquest by the coro-
ner, composed of fourteen white and colored
men. The jury were taken to view the bodies,
and after some wrangling, agreed upon ver-
dict that "the deceased came to their deaths
under the execution of the law" In justi6.
cation of his action, the coroner states that
he had been advised that it was always Gus.
tomary to hold inquests upon the bodies of
persons who were hanged, and that he did it
in this instance in ful6llment of what he
thought were the requirements of the law.

VICE.PRESIDENT WILSON.

Several of the Republican papers hav-
ing taken Vice. President Wilson to task on
account of his recent trip through the South,
in which the papers aforesaid affect to see
some political significance, that official writes
a letter in reply to the charges, from which
we take the following extract. He says:
"That little journey of mine was but car
ryiug out of the advice to take few weeks
rest before l commenced upon the task had
marked out for the summer and autumn. L
was kindly welcomed by the people of both
races by Democrats, Republicans and Con-
servatives. visited the colleges, schools and
markets, and was welcomed by the people and
presses of every shade Of opinion. | said
nothing in the twenty-pine brief addresses |
made Of public affairs or Of party politics. |
spoke of law, order and peace; of industry,
material development, education and temper
ance; of Justice to the black man, and of a
generous policy to the white man. | visited

and Polk, of Crittenden, Bell and Benton. |

cant. The welcomes from ALL without distinc-
ton of race or color, these briefspeeches, this
visit to the couch of dying man, that little
talk with the wife of the President of the late
Confederacy, were full of ofmeaniug. The wan
dering Vice. President was too unceremonious ;
he was the victim of Presidential aspirations ;
he must be rebuked as other gentlemen sus-
pected of like desires had been. TO all this
I reply that, in common with thousand OF
my countrymep, indulge the idea that the
presidency lisa lofty and responsible position !;
that to be elected to that Office and clothed
with its vast powers for good by forty millions
people, is an honor, by the side of which un'
counted wealth must weigh as nothing. But
Notwithstanding this high estimate, | assure

Gus, as not to reply to letters written me upon
a subject in which these imaginative ones

anxiety further if assure them that | have
neither money, nor patronage, nor an organ ;
that never made promise, in political life

The QUALIFICATIONS OF JURoRs.-The
present system of drawing juries could be
made to work reasonably we'll, if the Jury
Commissioners would act fairly, and accord
ing to law, in preparing the lists from which
Jurors shall be drawn. We are glad, there
fore, that the Kingstree Star directs the at
tentiou of the Commissioners to the fact that
the qualifications of jurymen, as established
by law, are: l. They must be entitled to
vote. 2. They must be persons of good NOR
al character. 8. They must be persons of
sound judgment. 4. They must be free from
all legal exceptions.
No distinction can be made on account of
color, but it is evident that man who can
not read and write cannot be 'free from legal
exceptions" whatever his color may be. In
the United States Courts no person is allowed
to serve as juryman who cannot read and
write, and if this rule cannot be followed in
the State Courts the judg certainly have the
power to set aside jurors who are incapable,
by reason of ignorance, Of forming sound
judgment upon the questions before them.
In Georgetown last week convicted hog
thief was on jury, and the judge made him
stand aside. But how came his name on the
list? South Carolina will, indeed, be on the
high road to peace and happiness, when the
drawing of juries shall be everywhere in the
hands Of responsible and impartial officers,
who will select only persons of intelligence
and good character. But the corrupt practi-
ces Of the past six or seven years have expos
ed many Of the political leaders to prosecu-
ton and punishment, and they rely on igno-
rant juries to save them. When they who
make the laws and execute them have no fa-
vors to ask, we shall have good juries. Until
that time comes we rely chiefly on the cor
rective action of the judges Observation-Disclosures
and Courier.

CHESTER, June %, 1875.
A special meeting Of Bethel Presbytery was
held ut the Presbyterian Church of this place
on last Monday. The following ministers
were present: Revs. T. W. Erwin, H. R.
Dickson, Il. L. Cooper, j. Lowrie Wilson, A.
F. Dickson, j. Spratt White, D. Harrison
and R. D. Perry. The object of the meeting
of Presbytery was the consideration of the
application of Licentiate T. D. Latimer for a
certificate of dismissal, in order that he may
be enabled to unite with the Presbytery of
Atlanta, Georgia, where he has been called
to labor. Mr.. Latimer's application having
been favorably acted upon, he will, in the fu-
ture, be connected with one Of the Presbyte-
rian Churches Of Atlanta.
The summer season is a time of slackness
with our Trial Justice. He enjoys the dolce
far nie,.te to his hearts content. The majori-
ty ofhs cases are those in which members Of
the colored element are the principal parties
to the suits Now that there is such an attack
along the lines upon General Green, their
difficulties with each other are greatly dimin.
ished, and consequently their need of the SER
vices of an officer of the law to decide their
disputes is proportionately reduced. When
the crop is laid by, and their hands are idle,
Satan will find an abundance of scratching
and fighting for the occupation Of their time,
and then the Trial Justice will have plenty
of work to do.
On Tuesday case of some Importance, oc-
casioned by difference of opinion in regard
to title to land, came up before Trial Justice
Sanders. The plaintiff and defendant in the
case were Mr.. Jesse Castles and Mr.. - Hal
sey, both of Halselville, and we're represented
