AN INpoRrANr DECISION.

The Supreme Court of this State has
decided that Trial Justices have exclu-
aiYe jurisdiction of all cases of Petit Lar
oeny; which deprives the Circuit Court
Of any right to try case of Petit LARGE
ny, let the circumstances be ever so ag-
grarated. Upon an examination Of the
law, there can be no doubt of the cor
rectness of this decision, and under it
the judgment of the Court of General
Sessions at this place was arrested in two
cases last week. One of these cases
amounted to burglary in every respect,
except that it failed to come under the
technical definition of the crime, and yet
as the Law now stands it is impossible to
punish this criminal any more severely
than the poor fellow who steals a pittance
to supply the necessities of life. This
should be remedied by legislation giving
the Court of General Sessions jurisdic-
ton Of all cases of Petit Larceny where
the Trial Justice certifes the circum-
stances as alleged are too aggravated for
the offender to be properly punished oy
him.: The law should at once be correc-
ted, for as it now stands the punishment
of Petit Larceny cannot in any instance
exceed thirty, days imprisonment. Such
changes as may be necessary should be
made, and we invite the attention of our
Senator and Representatives to the i'm
portance of this subject. ....,:i ~ -.

publishers pledged his official influence
to secure a monopoly for their books,
and he gave one of them to understand
that he expected to be Superintendent
of Education, which would give him
additional influence. In view Of this
discreditable and corrupt conduct, the
committee recommended that Robertson
be displaced from the text book commits
sion, and expelled from his seat in the
House. The report was made the special
order for tomorrow, (Friday,) and We
trust that "Greenland's Icy Mountains"
will be permitted to sink back into that
obscurity from which he emerged a few
years ago, when modern statesmen"
were brought to light in South Carolina.

bility that such a proposition would be
accepted. His boasted pride has been
that he is working to make and keep
South Carolina safely and unalterably
within the clutches of the Republican
lion, and he is not yet ready to lie down
with the Dmocratic lamb. Elliott, Les.
lie, Whittemore, Bowen, Nash and the
other great lights of the Radicals are not
manoeuvering their colored troops in this
direction, so far as we can discover.
President Grant, with keen apprecia-
ton of the load of corruption visible in
South Carolina, has not extended the
order that anything save Radical victo-
ry will satisfy his ambitious longings for
third term.
Then, in the name of common sense,
we ask the question where is there any
encouragement for this fresh device to
appease the Republican monster? The
scheme is impracticable, unwise and mis-
chieyous. 1t is impracticable, because
the Republicans will not accept its offers.
1t is, unwise, because its substance has
been repeatedly tried and failed. 1t is
mischievous, because it serves only to dis
integrase the Democratic party at an i'm
portant juncture. For these reasons, we
deplore the action of the Greenvills De-
mocracy at this time, and trust the "great
movement" which has its origin there
will be squelched in the manly, runcom-
promising and potential action of the
State Democratic Convention, which
body when it meets can truly and faith
fully give expression to the sentiments
and shape the policy of the South Caro-
lima Democracy.

CHARLESTON, 3. T., Jan. 18th, 1875.
MEssRs. EDrroRs: It is the intention Of
the Smithsonian Institution of Washington.
D. G., which constitutes as you are aware
the scientific representation Of our govern
ment, to expose at the Centennial Exhibi-
ton collection illustrative of the natural
resources of each and every section of the
country. The importance of seizing this oc-
casion to display the mineral wealth Of this
State is apparent; as the Exhibition will be
visited by multitudes not only from other
States, but also from foreign lands. AS a
means Of attracting attention to the natural
advantages of the State as whole, or of ad-
vertising any particular mineral deposit, it
is evident that no better opportunity will
ever present ITSELF The minerals carefully
arranged and collectively exhibited must
prove an interesting and striking feature Of
this coming Worlds Fair" It is designed
on the termination of the Exhibition to re-
move the specimens to the National Capitol,
and thus to form from them permanent
National Museum in the fire-proof building
of the Smithsonian Institution, where they
shall equally serve to attract the attention
of scientists, capitalists and immigrants.
Each specimen will be duly acknowledged,
and on exhibition carefully labelled with
the name of the donor and the locality.
Having been appointed member of the Co.
operation Committee, to assist in collecting
specimens for this Exhibition, I take the ltb-
erty Of asking your kind aid in the forma-
ton of as thorough and representative col
lection of the ores and minerals of this State
as the limited time before the opening of the
Centennial allows. Hyou have friends pos
sessing such specimens, or owning mineral
deposits, you would confer favor on the
undersigned by bringing this subject to their
attention. It is my desire to exhibit charac-
teristic specimens of the gold, copper, iron,
corundum, manganese, limestone, mari,
kaolin, mica and other ores or rocks of use
full application found in the State. Can you
or your friends furnish such? If so, may I
trouble you to communicate with me at your
earliest convenience, noting the description
and size of specimens you are able to contri-
butte.
Any journalistic attention will be highly
esteemed by your obedient servant

INFAMOUS

Nesbitt, one of the colored members of
theSouth Carolina Legislature, has intro
duced a resolution in the House for the
appointment of a committee to investi-
gate the official conduct of hon. j. P.
Reed, Judge of the First judicial Circuit
of this State. This resolution is only in
tended to injure Judge Reed, and We do
not believe has any foundation in justice.
Judge Reed has been very acceptable to
the good people of Charleston, and has
improved the condition of their affairs
very much by his bold and Independent
course upon the bench. The mover of
the resolution does not expect it to pass,
but takes this infamous device to injure
the character of Judge Reed. If there
had been any cause for the resolution it
should have specified the charges to be
Investigated. 1t is just such charge as
any villain might make against any citi-
zen of the most unblemished character,
and bears upon Its face evidence OF its
true intention. Itmeans to state to the
public that Judge Reed has been guilty
Of fofhcial crimes, and does not specify
them so As to allow him On opportunity
to refute them should the resolution for
investigation fail, which the mover no
doubt knows it will do. The Legislature
owes it to Judge Reed to defeat this reso-
luton, and put a stop to these rascals
who try to obtain notoristy as reformers
by attacking men infinitely better than
themselves. Judge Reed Is entitled to
the respect and support of the better peo-
pie OF, our State whenever he is thus
wantonly attacked upon general charge
submitted in such an unusual and under
handed manner as this resolution. If
he has been guilty of any dereliction it
should bespeeihed, and until it is done
we shall believe such attempts as the
present to injure him are groundless and
iniquitous. 1ge'

REyERDY JOHNSON.

This eminent jurist and distinguished
statesman ended his eventful career on
Thursday last, 10th inst, He was a
guest at the executive mansion in Ans
napolis, Nd, and dined in the afternoon
with Gov. Carroll and other gentlemen,
in his usual health and excellent spirits.
He was left alone in the parlor after din
ner; and in q short time one Of the ser
wants; discovered Mr.. Johnson in the
grounds adjoining the mansion, bleeding
profnsely from 8 wound onsthe right side
ofhis head and face. II is supposed that
he was seized with vertigo, and fell to the
ground. Death must have ensued al
most instantly. <,1ss -
Mr. johnson had filled many impor-
tant positions in public life. He was
elected to the United States Senate in
1916, and his legal qualifications induced
President Taylor, in 1S49, to appoint him
Attorney General of the United States,
which position he filled four years. He
then engaged in the practice Of his pro-
fession, and in 1862 he was again elected
to the United States Senate, from which
body he was appointed Minister to Eng
landin 1866, where he laid the founda-
ton for the final settlement of the Ala

THE GREENv11LE DEMOCRACY.

A meeting was held in Greenville on
last Saturday, embracing delegates from
the several townships, for the purpose of
promoting the organization of the Demo
cratic party. Ex-Gov. Perry took q
prominent part in the meeting, and made
a speech in advocacy of the policy indi-
Gated in his letter some months ago. He
introduced a lengthy preamble and reso-
lutions, which were adopted with only a
few dissenting voices. The substance of
the manifesto is to ignore PARTY issues in
the coming campaign, and to secure a
united effort on the part of Democrats
and Republicans to place honest men
into Office, without regard to party affilia'
ton; and in order to accom- riish this
"grand achievement" it is proposed to
organize Democratic Clubs in every town.
ship, with auxiliary and afiliating Re-
publican Clubs.
To any one acquainted with the politi-
cal history of South Carolina during the
last six years, it would appear that this
scheme of Ex-Governor Perry has been
tried before, and without any substantial
results. The only difference we can per-
ceive between the plan proposed and that
which has been adopted heretofore con-
sists in this "great movement" as Gov
Perry terms it, carrying over the entire
Democracy en- mas,e to the enemy. Such
would be the actual and potential result,
if the Democrats are thrown into the
arms of the recognized leader of the
Republicans, as the preamble to the
Greenyille resolutions would indicate.
No one need tax our credulity by saying
there is the slightest foundation for be-
lieying that the Republicans intend to
accept any proposition looking to con-
cert of action in selecting candidates fol
Office, except where the Republicans are
in the minority, or a faction desires to
promote its own ends by coalescing with
the Democrats. Certainly, the great
head-centre of Republication in South
Carolina has not intimated, even to his
most ardent Democratic admirers, that
he was waiting for Consultation and
concerted action" with the Democrats.
Not even the heroic and virtuous Cham
berIain has Yentured to assert the proba-
