The bill to charter the Ladies Island
and Coosaw River Mining Co, known as
the poor mans bill and fathered by the
ubiquitous Green, received its final read
ing in the house on Friday last. This
bill grants to the above named compa-
ny the same rights as were granted to the
Marine and River company, but only
requires hond Of five thousand dollars
as security for the payment of the royalty
OF one dollar per ton while the Marine
and River were required to give bond
for fifty thousand. Mr. Barnwell op
posed tho bill on the ground that the
bond required was insufficient, and that
as the incorporators were impecunious the
object was ost,likely TO sell the charter
to some company that had money. This
is very likely the case and we hope tie
Governor will exercise the veto power to
kill this job.

james A. BowIey escaped a probab

James A. Bowley escapad probab Ia
ccnvictlcn m Columbia last week through
a defective Indictment. Defective in
sdictments are entirely too common in
South Carolina and show that either the
solicitors are too Ignorant to properly
perform their duties or that they have a
more potent reason for leaving loop
hole for the benefit of accnscd persops.
"he charge against Bowley was that on

support of the penitcntiary, the amount
to be appropriated being eighty thous,
and dollars. Mr.. Cardozo testified that
during the same month Dennis gave
Bow ley an order for one thousand COL
lars OF his (Dennis) salary, and Dennis
gave many particulars as to the agrees
ment, but the defective indictmen: was
all that was needed to prevent another
politician from getting his seemingly
just deserts.
We think it extremely probable
that Bowley would have escaped even if
the indictment had been carefully pre-
par d; Treasurer Cardozos testimony was
certainly not prcdjudiclal to the
defendant. In the course of the trial it
appears that Judge Carpenter ruled that
direct questions could be put to on appar-
emily unwilling witness for the State, and
further on the Court insisted upon putting
a question to a witness "in the interest
of truth and justice" The question to he
sure was not asked in order to establish
the venue, but its object being to elicit
facts materially affecting the case, causes
us to wish that the interests of truth and
justice were always as closely looked
after.

very likely be made scape- goat, al
though he is no worse than many Others.
His great fault was in being found out,
not in trying to feather his nest.

A BRAVE GIRL.-The love of ad-

in boys. and there is no doubt it is
tostered by the sensational literature
provided for youths by story papers,
etc. 4 young girl in Christian Co.
Kentucky, with more romance than
common sense in her composition,
cut OFF her pretty brown curls,
dressed in a suit of her brothers
clothes and started, clandestinely,
on foot for the Black Hills.
She was brave to encounter what
ever hardships in the shape oftravel
or Indians might beset her way. and
visions of gold plains led her cheer
fully on. But she had not reckoned
on that Indiana tornado, which on
the very first night of her journey.
came up with her ON a very muddy
road. took her in its embrace, and
rolled her round and round, over
and over for something less than half
a mile. She returned home next
day a sadder, sorer and wiser
girl.

considerable speculation as to the imme-

The foreign demand was attributed by

Now it is said the spurt was consequent
upon the backwardness of the season

Canton have sent to the Exhibition
an unusually valuable and interest
ing collection of curious and articles
of vi1tu. The collection consists of
elaborate carvings in blackwood,
porcelain screens painted by hand,
vases of all sizes in black, gold, and
scarlet lacquer, as well as those
painted in the ordinary style, and a
great variety OF other objects, all
valuable and curious. In each in
stance these goods form part of pri-
vate collections, and most of them
are of great antiquity. A few are
unpurchasable, and could not be re-
placed. The collection is valued at
$50, 600. The owners are very anx-
ious to outshine the exhibition made
by WI, the late Tio-t'ai of Shanghai,

had knock down argument about o.
clock to-day in the formers stable. Mar
shall HAYES arrested the parties and took
them before Magistrate Chopper who fined
Brown s. and costs, which he paid. The

money which Mollie had loaned John, also
watch and chain, which she requested
him to return This he refused to do:
hence the quarrel. She refused to testify
against John under oath but made state
ment in accordance with the above facts
Others say the real cause was jealousy OF
the part of Mrs. Weir.
