COLUMBIA, October 4.
The fact of the arrival Of Ok Treasurer
Cardozo in Columbia was mentioned in
the Ne,cs and Courier of yesterday. His
unexpected reappearauce of course occa.
stoned much surprise, as 1t was generally
understood that in common with his
numerous friends who arc 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 oflaw. 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 a requisition unnecessary in his
case.
The sx-treasurer will be represented
on his trial by Judge S. w. Melton, and
he hastened 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 fac: Of his voluntary appearance in
a;;s city al this critical tiiIie would seem
to have been sufficient guarantee of
Mr. Cardozo's intention 10 appear in
court wheneve. his appearance was de.
sired by the prosecution-the more SO us
he we'll 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
bondsman was w. B. Nash, Esq, senator
from Richland County. Nash has be.
come little nervous of late "on general
principles as his old friend Leslie would
say, and, having doubtless in nireg6fd the
ancient maxim that bird on toast IL
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. Q. Mar
shall, of Columbia, and signifed his ar
dent desire to withdraw from his surety
ship ond to surrender his principal Mr,
Cardozo was possibly too we'll acquair ted
with Nash's peculiarities to feel any snr-
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, anL before noon
Mr. Card0zo was once more consigned To
.he quarters from which he was erewhile
released through the agency Of the facile
judge Bond.
It only remains to be said, at present
