COLUMBIA, October 4.
The fact Of the arrival Of ex-Treasurer
Cardozo in Columbia was mentioned in
the Necs and Courier of yesterday. His
unexpected temperance of course occa-
stoned much surprise, as it was generally
understood that in common with his
numerous friends who are under indict-
ment Mr.. Cardozo proposed to pro-
long his absence from South Carolina
until such time as his return should be
compelled by process of-law. Itappears,
however, that the public were wrong in
this natural supposition as to Mr.. Cardo-
20, who returned yesterday of his own
accord for the express purpose of rem
dering requisition unnecessary in his
case.
The ex-treasurer will be represented
on his trial by Judge S. w. Melton, and
he FASTENED to Columbia several weeks
in advance of the session of the court, for
the purpose of assisting Judge Melton in
collecting evidence for his defence. The
mere fact of his voluntary appearance in
this city at this critical time would seem
to have been sufficient guarantee of
Mr.. Cardozo's., intention to appear in
court whenever his appearance was de-
sired by the prosecution-the more so as
he well knew that bench warrant was
long since issued for his apprehension.
But one, at least, of his bondsmen did
not take this view of the case, and this
rbondsman was w. B. Nash, Esq, senator
a from Richland County. Nash has be.
come little nervous of late "on general
principles, y as his old friend Leslie would
say, and, haa5ng, doubtless in 4regafd the
ancient maxim that bird on toast is
worth q coveY in the bush, he deter
mined upon practical application forth
with. Accordingly Mr.. Nash this morn
ing waited upon Trial Justice j. @. Mar
shall, of Columbia, and signified his ar
dent desire to withdraw from his surety
ship and to surrender his principal. Mr.
Cardozo was possibly too we'll acquainted
with Nash's peculiarities to feel any sur
prise at his caution or desertion, and in
terposed no useless objection to the con-
summation of his wishes in this particu-
lar matter. The necessary steps were
taken, the papers drawn, and before noon
Mr.. Cardozo was once more consigned to
the quarters from which he was erewhile
released through the agency of the facile
Judge Bond. 1''
1t only remains to be said, at present,
that the ex-treasurer's course in thus
coming back voluntarily to meet his trial
has obtained for him certain amount OF
sympathy and respect on the part OF
many who we're not previously disposed
to entertain any very kindly feelings to-
wards him.
Smalls, the colored ex-senator, who
claims reelection to Congress on the
strength of the fraudulent vote in Beau
fort last November, is in trouble. The
Investigating Committee have. clear
case, and if Smalls is not already in Gus
tody somebody is to blame.
Associate Justice ]. j. Wright made
his appearance in the streets of Columbia
again this morning. He is now engaged,
possibly, in re-revising his opinion in the
/ celebrated Tilda Norris case in the light
of that of Mr. Justice McIyer published
in the News and Courier yesterday.
