MALICIOUS PROSECUTION.
AyARsCE LEAFS 10 CoRRI PIION.


made brief statement concerning a
nal before Justice Learned Of some
vnunr men from Port Discovery,
npon the complaint of ore Pruss,
making three distinct charges against
them, viz, of arson, riot and unlaw
full trespass. We spoke Of the pros
ecution as partaking more of the
character OF malice than of desire
to subserve the ends " Justice. This
NAV have been understood by the
public as referring to the complain
ant, or his attorney; most persons,
however, would suppose it to mean
the former. ID. w. Smith, Esq, oc.
cupying the unenviable position Of
attorney for the prosecution, after
trying on the cap aud concluding
that it flied him much better than it
would his client, is determined to
wear it altogether. Acting upon
originally conceived premises, he
published letter claiming that our
statement was entirel Y one sided, un.
fair, etc, that we were trying to
right a wrong by wronging some one
else; and with the air of one whose
ideas never rise higher than all asso
citation with bribery, asks if we were
not PAID for our services. AS he
seems to earnestly desire ventilation
of this matter, we have taken pains
to institute brief investigation, pre-
paratory to letting in little light ON
the affair, part. luIarly the actions of
Mr. Smith in regard to it.
F,r,t. we mus, notice Smiths de-.
termination to reycn~e himself unon
Mr.. Wood, Of PORT Discoverv and
to orstifv a preyiuus snitc At that
gentleman. Becoming cnragrd at
our failure to mention Mr., Woods
name in copuection with the affair,
he did SO h'mself, and proclaimed
his own malice by spiteinIIy calling
attention to our course, after Mr.,
Wood had undergone Il trial aud
been adjudged entirely innocent.
Mr.. smiths last resort, IN the pub
lshed letter. was doubtless based
upon the SupposltIon that it would at
least be degrading to mar III Mr.,
Wood poS'hon to get his name even
IN print IN connection with felon.
lods crime, though he was not guilty
OF 1t. The tact OF beng arrested
upon charge OF arson was humlli'

Keeping out the Flies.

and can should be taken to sweep every

Curious Case Of Poisoning.

Late last night a rather unusual case
of "mistnken Identity" occurred on
O'Farrcll street, above Mason. Mrs.
Jornsen, the wife OF J. L. Jornscn, the
down town dealer, has long been nm in
invalid, and under tho advice Of her ply
sicinn has recently been in the habit of
partaking, before retiring, of harm less,
If not helpful, prescription Of peppermint
and other innocent and strictly herbal
extracts, mixed with glass Of Spring
Valley water. Just rs she was sinking
into slumber through the influence Of
this pleasant sedative, by some inexpli-
cable, instructive warning from the boun-
daTies of another world which only Col.
onel Ingersoll could adequately explain,
she remembered that instead Of putting
tho proper prescription into tho glass Of
water she bad poured into it the whole
contents OF bottle of iaudanum, which
her daughter, Emelinc, had that day pro-
cured for the relief of the toothache, and
which was sufficient to kill about twenty
good and able-bodied men. RESISTING.
with one frantic effort for life, the sleep
that was oyercoming her. she aroused hcr
husband and told him of the untoward
circumstances, and in hastily assumed
and slightly too midsummer raiment he
tore through tie silent streets for the res
:dence of the family physician. Mrs.
Jornsen's stomach was pumped out with
commendable Dispatch, and refilled at
intervals of thirty seconds with black
coffee. She was switched around the
recn. w;.h {: cruelty o01: meccs e 80
kind, ana as the deathly stupor gradual
ly gave way, her daughter, who had been
!ihSiiiy slnmoned en- desha6iile t. support
one side Of the persecuted pedestrian,
found time TO ask, "What IL the matter
with her this timer"
"Why, che hes swallowed all that con-
founded laudanuns Of fyours," ,"roplied the
distracted father. .----'--,--
"Why, no she HASN'T" replied Emeline,
"for ], took it into my room with me and
It is there now." Then the doctor ceased
feeling the unequal pulse and instituted
semi-professional Investigations. It was
found that Mrs. Jornsen had not made q
mistake Mt all in taking her medicine !;
the lady became suddenly and abruptly
wideAawske; the doctor left n madder
man-he couldn't have been :. wiser
and the Jernson family generally put in
the slight remainder Of the night in an
unsatisfactory and rather sleepless man.

these hours comprised all their span Of

while the ship went forward to meet her
doom.
Those in whose memory that tragedy
has not been cfIaced by later caamftics

sunk the Vile du Havrc in less than
twelve minutes occurred at two clock in
the morning, whca the passengers were
all wrapped in slumber. 1t chanccd,
however, that Thurston was not among

flashed upon him, and springing TO his
feet lie threw on his clothes and went on

confirmed by the terror and confusion
which rcigncd supreme. He took i'm the

and after minute spent in trying to
learn what chance there was of launch

cabin, and made his way TO Agatha
I.oring's statc-roon.
AS he reached the door, it opened, aud
she came out-palc, but perfectly com
posed. There was no time for questions
or assurances. The ship was sinking
fast, and their only hope was in gaining
the deck.
by dint of struggling, Thurston gained
It before Tho vessel went down. Then
they had one minutc-oDly one minute

A Novel idea.

In these hard times some newspapers
are compelled to resort to strange devices
to :lstain themselves, and we are Inclined
to think that the scheme hit upon by the
Kalsas City Times was not altogether
lovly. 1t introduced the lottery Gle
| meui into lis subscription list, and ad-
vehised four distributions of prizes for
the year among its subscribers. The
second of these has just taken place, and
iti announced that thousand prizes,
worth $4,000, were given away. But
thAe was connected with the lottery q
uOIcl contrivance for exciting attention
aud amusing the public, to which we
have already alluded. The Times called
upn all light.hearted young Western
dansels inclined to marriage to send in
thdr names and photographs, with a
skach of their characteristics, the design
5tHg TO put aii suoh girls up as mairi-
mOnial premiums to be distributed among
tle bachelors and widowers who Sub.
schbed for the Times. Of course It was
no. supposed that any girl would step
forward 10 be raffled for, or that any
young man was willing to choose wife
by lot /; but there is always q temptation
foI women in the chance to talk about
ti.mselyes and venture into harmless
lille intrigues with wedding in pros
pet, and it is no less pleasant for men to
run risks in gallantry and gambling.
The real thing to be disposed of in the
lottery was of course acquainsanceship.

"Chlory" Carpenter.
WASHINGTON. July

l.. Cass Carpenter, recently Collector
Of Internal Revenue for the Columbia.
8. c., district, is in Washington on bus;-
ness with the Treasury Department, He
says that the movement among the ne
|groes of South Carolina in favor Of q gen.
|eral emigration to Liberia has spread
with wonderful rapidity. Two very large
meetings have been held In Charleston,
one in Columbia, and smaller ones ut
other points. The movement seems to
be encouraged by class of white people
VINO, before the war and since, have not
held the highest social position. All OF
them are Democrats. The few white
Republicans who remain nave had moth
ing whatever to do with the movement.
Carpenter is unable to SEQ how the col
ored people expect to carry their plans
into Operations VI what tsioy Ga Aprut IL
gain if they could. They have sent no
committees 70 Liberia and have no recent
reports from there; they are without
means and have no prospect of obtaining
tho money necessary to pay the cost OF
emigration. The demand for labor in
South Carolina, Mr.. Carpenter says is
greater than the supply, and this moyo-
ment can only be explained by the vague
fears of tho colored people which have
been aroused by the class o5,T7iiiio men
referred to.
Carpenter says also, that Governor
Hampton is much, better man than the
majority of his prfty, and if allowed I'd
do so would administer the affairs of the
Etato in spSn q manner as TO leave no
cause of/complaint on the part of any
class, OF her citiseas. His liberal course,
however. has caused a division in the
Democratic parH, and it is feared that
1 the Bourbons sill be in the majority and
will preveFG him from carrying into ef.
feet mar5 Of his plans. IF an issue bo.
twesxthe Hampton party and the lead,
err OF the Bourbons could be distinctly
,Imade in State election, the forYior
would no doubt carry the State, as ma.
jority Of the colorsd people would sus.
tain Governor Hampton. The danger il
that the divisions in the Democratic par
| ty, when new State election takes
place, will make themselves felt ob,y in
the convention, and that if the Bourbons
are successful they will force the entire
party to sustain their candidate and mol.
