Robert Smalls, OF South Carolina, has
been sentenced to three years in the Pen
itentiary. A private letter from Column
bia, printed in the Chicago Inler-Ocean,
gives some idea of the manner in which
bis conviction was brought about. After
speaking of the petitions for new trials
flied by Smalls and Cardozo, ex-Slate
Treasurer, the letter says:
These petitions set forth in full and formal
the illegality Of most Of the evidence used
against them, and which would have been ruled
out in any far court in any civilized country. But
the prejudice here IS so great and such reign OF
terror exists here, that IL would not have made u

the testimony or the witnesses; conviction was

ally organized TO cow let, and convict 1t did

yesterday to ill the vacancy caused by the forced
resignation of the Hon. W. b. Nash, the former
Senator from this county. You will perhaps re-
member that Mr.. Nash was the Pres dentisl Elec-
tor in this State whom the democrats offered $50
600 to vote for Tilden. The election was very
quiet and peaceful minded, the peace that reigns
at Warsaw. There were republican candidate

unanimously, although the republicans have 300
majority in this county.

made at the request of Senator Cor

who would be satisfied with no man Tor

Senator Conkling in his speech against
confirming Fltzsimmons. secuted the idea
that President Hayes could not find in a
State that gave him $4,000 republican
votes one republican fit to be Marshal.
Where, said he, "is Joshua Hill, who

Senators on the other side of the chamber
might pretend to the President and to the
Senate that such appointments as that OF
Mr.. Fitzsimmons were for the good OF the
country, and they might delude the Pres
ident into such belief; but republican 5
