Special TERHOF DISTRICT COURT

We had a notice OF the converting 'H spccia!
term Of the Honorable ! ilh District Court IN
and foi the PARISH Of Richland in type for
last Saturdays issue, but il was left out by
mistake in making up the forms
According 20 previous notice Hon s. C.
Parsons put in his appearance al the court
house, At the usual hour ON Wednesday morn
ing, June Goth, and opened court hotwith.
standing the general opinion that the special
term was illegal from the fact that th,. law
authorizing judges TO convene their courts in
special term had not been complied with in
giving notice, the law requiring thirty days
notice 10 be given, while only three clear
days notice Of the converting Of this cour,
had been given.
The first case called was that Of the Parish
VS.. W. I. Oliver, late Tax Collector. and the
securities on his parish bond Exception was
taken by counsel for the defense TO the legality
OF the court on the grounds above stated, in
reply 10 which the counsel fer the plaintiff
notice only applied TO jury cases-whch
strikes us as forced construction, there being
no intimaton Of such intention in the law
itself-and that, admitting the Illegally Of the
court on this ground It could no, apply 70 tins
particular case, as the revenue law gave the
court the right to Try the case in chambers,
nv, .Lo,,c, ro.;co ~ ,hou, Ieci1inu Tho MONT
at issue the Court set Monday for the trial of
the case by rule.
Only two other cases came before the court
Jas. r Preston was brought into court, plead
ed guilty TO the charge OF assault, and battery
with intent TO murder, threw himself on the (
mercy of the court and was sentenced TO the ,
pententiary for one year, and left for that in /
stitution on Monday. Paul Bird was arraign.
ed on the charge of mansaugh,er, proved 1
that the killing LOT the girl Maql was acci !
dental, and was acquitted Of hat charge. bu,
is serving on, short sentence in Jail for car
rying concealed weapons. He was represent
ed by F. e.. Hudson as counsel.
i AC uldi VI lllt- OllNtG case occupied Mon !
lay and Tuesday of this week. and His
Honor rendered his decision on Wednesday
morning, giving judgmen, agains, defendants
Or S22U0-the suit was for about S3Ouc-and
l S'enal,y of y per cent per month from
'on'e nme in January. We learn tina, both
he parish and some of the sure,ies are dissat-
SIZED with the decision, and an appeal will
10 doubt be taken.
The defense was represented by Messrs
Wells 4 Williams and H. Bedun. who man
iged the case with zeal and ability and the
Parish was represented by Messrs. Potts and
.iddell, who had their case well made out
md conducted It in e most crcdi;able manner.

HANGING HERSELF AFTER A OUR.
REL.

The New York Sun of June 22d tells he
following sad story of conjugal infelcity or
the evil effects of an ungovernable temper,
coupled perhaps with the degrading practice
of intemperance:
At 10 o'clock last night John Hartman, of
202 South Orange avenue, Newark, called al,
Police Headquarter, and stated that his wife
Helen had committed suicide. He was held
as witness, as he had visited the station
during the afternoon and complained that his
wife had attacked him. A Sun reporter learn
ed that he accused his wife of taxing $50 from
his pocket. He tried to ia se il from her. and
she said, "You cannot get it. | have it and
will keep it." Then he tried to snatch it, and
she stabbed him in the right shoulder. He
went to the station 10 make complaint and
when he returned he found his wife hanging
10y rope from hook in the ceiling and chair
upon which she had stood, lying on the floor.
lie tried 10 resnscitate her. but failed.

P1EvNA HAS FALLEN after a stubborn
resistance. It was the koy to tho
Turkish positions and Osman
Pasha defended it with the utmost
heroism. The Russians had cut off
communication with the place, and
Osman, finding his army on tho
brink of starvation, ondoavorod to
cut through to Widdin. In the
contest he was seriously wounded,
and theroupon surrendered. The
Turks arc reported to have been
perishing from cold and hunger.
This virtually terminates tho Russo~
Turkish war. Turkey gained tho
first victories, but as was instancod
in tho caso of the Confederacy, she
could not indefinitely prolong tho
struggle against overwhelming
numbers and resources. Of course
peace will follow this victory.
What tho tcrms will be is mattor
Of speculation It is expected that
Russia will demand only worry favora
bio conditions, and that England will
bo placed in an awkward dilomma o.
She will find it difficult.

Patterson at His Old Game.

Il
in tho Senuto he appears to have
become quite lion, and to have
loomed up prominently and appro-
priately as tho champion of anti
Hayes Radicalism. TO such an emi-
nence has he attained that Presi.
dent Hayes requested the honor Of
nm interview with him. Patterson
accepted and during tho course of
the conversation, uttered as many
misstatements as is usual for him to
do. We will notice, however only
the following, contained in IN e2-
tract from a report of the interview
in the Philadelphia Times
The President was frankly told
that his course toward the South
since his inauguration had destroyed
the Republican party. Being pressed
for his reasons for such q statement,
MIR. Patterson referred to tho Log
islature of South Carolina, which,
from good working majority of
Republicans, had been reduced to
such an extent that but ono Ropub--
lican remained, and he was about to
resign. Mr.. Patterson also said
that since Wade Hampton had been
placed in Office by the President,
not Republican mcoting had been
held in South Carolina, and, further
than that, he challenged tho Presi-
dent to point to single Republican
mooting that had boon held any,
where in the South since he has
been President. eff you will point
to a single meeting" said he, "I will
resign my scat in tho Senate" The
President said that he had nevor
thought Of that before, and did not
remember any such meeting.
Patterson also callod his attention
to tho fact that the negroes were
very fond Of public meetings and
elections, but that now, through
out tho whole South, not negro
could be induced to 60 to other, for
fear Of his lifo.
To these assertions wo answer
briefly. The Republican party was
dead long before President Hayes
was inaugurated. The death knell
was sounded when Chamberlain and
Elliott walked arm in arm into the
Radical convention after damning
each othor as scoundrels and black
mailors. Grants bayonets propped
up tho decaying corpse for a few
months. The voluntary contribu~
ton of tho people to tho champion
Government" buried Radicalisln for
over, and South Carolina was free
before the Federal bayonets left the
Statc-house.
Patterson knew that he was ut
tering a falsehood when he asserted
that but one Republican remained
in the State Legislature, There are
oight or nino. in the Senate, and
twenty-five or thirty in tho House,
1t is true these are almost exclusive.
