THE E1LxNToN CONSPIRACY CASE.

CHARLESTON. May 81, 1877.
The argument in the Elepton conspiracy case, IN
the United States Court before Chief Justice Waite,
closed tonight. and Al tho opening OF the Court
tomorrow, after a charge from tho presiding Judge,
the will DO given TO tho jury Tho accused are
eleven white citizens OF Aiken county, who are charged,
under Enforcement act with conspiracy to inter-
fere with the political rights Of David Bush tcolorcd)
Some two hundred and fifty or three hundred
whites from the county have been
arrested aud held to bail similar
charges, but only these eleven have been brooght to
trial test. The evidence adduced on the trial on
both SIDES shows that from Friday September IT,
1876 unit, Thursday, September 81 1875, in the south
western portion OF Aiken county, bordering on Barn.
well county and In the neghboring part OF Barnwt
county, number OF acts oil violence were committed
by both whites and black, ana the people OF noin
were state oil great excitement, especially
from Sunday morning to Tuesday noon
rHEokIEs or PROSECUTION AND DEFENCE
The theory OF the prosecution Is that the violent acts
OF the whites were IN pursuance OF q general plan 70
intmdate colored voters und that the several ueend
ants having al various times and places been more or
committed these various violent acts are themselves
responsible Tor all OF tncm and one OF these acts being
the kling o David Bush the general conspiracy, IN
fcrrcd the general acts OF VIOLENCE becomes con.
s,tutionaily special conspiracy against Bush, and
the defendants responsible as II they scveraily
and Ju,nily had combined for tnat particular purpose
The theory OF the defence is that lawful attempt
the part OF the whites 10 arrest man WHO nao as
sautcd q white woman caused resistance and excite
mcnt tho part OF the blacks; that tho consequent
assembling and riotous conduct OF armed negroes,
their threatening language and demean0r and their
actual waylaying and killing OF white men, burning OF
properly and wrecking OF railroad trans rendered u
necessary for the white people to assemble in self
defence and whatever acts OF violence were committed
the part OF tho whites grew naturally out OF the
quasi war OF races thus naugurated.
PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL.
The number OF witnesses examined on either side
has been large and the progress OF tue trial which has
occupied tho court continuously since the 10Th nst
has excited much feeling. tho case being treated 0y
the prosecution as effort to visit deservc punish
ment upon the deliberate ard systematic voators OF
tho political and rights OF the blacks, and 6y
tie defence as political persecution IN which de-
fc8tcu republican candidates are using the machinery
justice crafty their personal spleen and 10 re-
kndlc the enmity between The races now almost en-
tireIy allayed.
The charge OF Chief Justice Waite tomorrow is
looked Tor with great interest Tho jury is composed
OF six white aud six colored men with George W.
Williams, tho wealthy Charleston banker, as foreman.
The general expectation Is that they VIII not DC aoc
agree upon a verdict.
