TRIAL OF ROBERT sMALLs, 81. c.

i.ffer the jury in the case Of Cardozo

OF the State against Smals, member Of
Congress, for accepting bribc wns called.

from the verdict of the jury asccrtniued
tia: The colorcd members could i,y: be
relied on TO ncquit persona Of their color
without any regard to the evidence or
law, now became very unensy, and by his
cour el, Judge Melton, filed petition to
| have his case transferred, under the Civil
Rights Bill, to the United States Court.
lie claimed this right on the following
grounds, because he is person of color ::
the newspapers aud people had com
mentcd on his oftcnsc that he could not
have fair and impartial trial before
Judge Townsend; and because he holds
an Office In Congress now under contest,
aud that this Indictment IN the result of
a conspiracy to deprive him Of llis office.
After full argument Of all the points by
judge Carpenter and Melton for the
Petitioner, and Mr.. Youmans and Gen.
Conner Cor tue State, Judge Townsend
! over-rulcd the motion, aud filed an elnb.
crate opinion to sustain his decision, and
directed the trial to proceed Judge
Melton gave notice of exceptions to the
decision Of The Court. We do not sup
pose Judge Melton will take the case up
on these exceptions, Tor they nrc TOO weak
! to claim the serious attention Of any
| Court, and if they should be sustained
would destroy the criminal jurisdiction OF
the State Courts, result to which nu
State of the American Union, North or
South, would be willing to submit. The
trial of Smalla proceeded, and jury
composed of ak whites and six colorcdl
was empanclcd to try the cnse. The cvi-
dence against Smalls was clear und coa.
elusive and the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty. Judge Melton will probably
take the case to the Supreme Court on
some of the many exceptions he filed to
the rulings of the Court during the trial
but these appeals can only delay the pun

The Louisville Couri;er. Louru

= The Louisville Courier-Journal,
which is published in State where whis-
key ought to good if anywhere, con-
firms the statement that probably nine
hundred and ninety nine gallons out of
every thousand that are sold as brandy
are made from vile compound of whis-
key swill, distilled spirits and chemical
denominations, and adds: "And as it is
also equally true of whiskey, what il. the
name of goodness are we all to do for
something to drink? 1t looks as if we
are to be driven to the pump in spite of
us. If the world at large knew of what
villainous stuffs brandy and whiskey and
wines are made of, the present crop
of drunkards would be about the Last, or
at any rate all future crops would be
small. Nearly all, or quite all, the
liquors .hat are retailed nowadays are
undoubtedly slow but sure poison, and
to drink them habtually is simply a
roundabout way of committing suicide,
and unless you guard yourself carefully
the way is not 20 very roundabout either.

The Republican members Of the United

The Republican members of the United
States Senate caucussed On last Saturday
from eleven to five o'clol.i, relative to the
course they should pursue towards i'resi-
dent Hayes and his administration. 1t
was ascertained that considerable ma
jority of them differed from the President
On either his 'civil service" order, or his
Southern policy" but the majority also
favor bearing the ills that be rather than
flying to those they know not of by an
tagonizing the administration. The re-
suit Of this caucus only shows the more
plainly that the President must conciliate
the Democrats or fall before their oppo-
altion. If bis party was united It would
be all they could do, before solid Dem.
ocracy, to sustain him with their small
majority, and when It Isl so badly divided,
as TO the President no Is In the hands Of
the Democracy.

RIGHT NAN IN THE RtahT PLACE,

We are gratified to learn that the Hon.
B. E. Csayton, of this place, was, on
Tuesday last, elected President of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Society of
South Carolina. A better choice could
not have been made. Mr. Crayton is q
gentleman of indomitable energy, aud
we'll versed in all that pertains to the
agricultural interests of the State, and
the Society may rest assured that lis in
terests will suffer no detriment in his
hands. MIR. Crayton has been the Prcs;-
dent Of the Anderson County Society
since its formation, and It's success is due
principally to his administrative abilities
and devotion to its interest. If any man
In the Stste can make the State Society
decided success, Mr. Crayton is that
man.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

The second election in France, which
was for Council General, came off on
Sunday, tie ith of this month, and re-
suited in gain for the Republicans.
The Councils formerly stood: Conserva-
tivcs majority in forty seven divisions :;
the Republicans in thirty-nine and one
independent The result of the last cleo
ton gives majorities as follows: Con-
sorvativea in forty-two; Republicans in
thirty-niEe; one doubtful; and five
equally divided. Considering the i'm
mense efforts made by the government
of Marshal McMahan to defeat them the
Republican gains are very significant,
and will probably cause the retirement of
the Cabinet. The people have pro-
nounced clearly for the Republic, and the
administration of the President cannot
further cacroach upon the rights of the
people as citizens of Republican gov
oFHment, without pEeoipitatius trouble to
an extent it is unprepared to meet. The
legislative council met in Versailles on
Wednesday, the 7th inst. In the Senate
nothing of interest occurred, end when
the Chamber of Deputies met NJ. Louis
Philippe Deaseaux (radical republican, J
from Rouen, Department of the Seine In.
ferieure, occupied the chair, NJ. Desscaux
spoke in eulcsy of the late NJ. Thiels,
who, he declared, deserved well of his
country. He added that the present
Chamber would labor to strengthen the
Republic and defend it against all attacks,
regardless from whom they came, and
concluded with cry OF ''VIre ia Repu6-
GG.s! !!G. V;.. "a rair!
NJ. Grevy, Republican, was then chosen
Provisional President OF the Chamber by
vote of 300 to 17O, and NJ. Rameau
moderate republican, from Versailles,
Department of the Seine-et- Disc, and NJ.
Lepere (rldical republican, from Auxerre,
Department of Yonne, were elected Vice
Presidents. NJ. Grevy in taking the chais
thanked the Chamber in brief and cool
speech for the honor.
The sitting OF both bodies was termi-
mated without receiving any message from
che President. Nothing of interest has
occurred in the sessions up to the last
reports, but changes are constantly looked
for and new ministry is daily expected.
The President viii try to choose Con-
seryative ministry again, and viii doubt
less nominate more acceptable men, but
the Republicans will consent to nothing
short of Republican cabinet. This may
precipitate trouble, but present irdica-
lions are that the crisis has pat ehd the
Republic of France is safe 70. q while

Hon. John Welsh, of Pennsylvania,
he's been confirmed as minister to Eng
land, aud the most favorable comment
that has been made Of him Is that he Ia
not generally known. Some of the
Northern papers, however. have found
out enongh about him to charge that he
6was slayes in Cuba. Ko denies this,
however, and says that he has sold his
interest In 6 farm out there, or in other
words his conscience would not permit
him to own slaves himself, and therefore
he has sold them to some one else. Even
his name was unknown at fret, and went
the rounds OF the press as "Walsh." We
have also the assurance that he Is wealthy,
and If our diplomacy goes to the dogs, ha
will be able 20 initiate Pierrepont In ex-
travagant style, and will no doubt, be as
much of lion as his predecessor was re-
Gently in everything that rartained to

Honest John ]. Patterson has, it is
said, at last yielded to the pressure of his
Republican friends, and consented to ask
for an investigation of the charges against
him. What is to be the result of this de-
termination or his part is difficult to pre-
dict, but for our part we believe it will
remain an unexecuted determination. 1t
will be surprising if be should ask for an
investigation, for if it is properly con-
Quoted it cannot have any other conclu-
sion than his expulsion from the seat
which his foul presence now disgraces.
Untes he has the arrangement made to
secure the appointment Of committee
of Republican Senators, as reckless of
their duty rs those who composed the in
famous electoral commission, in whom
ho CAN implicitly .o!y sc7 ssi; w!iitewasi-
ing, he will not be likely TO request any
Investigation; but it is probable that he
sees the extremity in which the Repub-
licans find themselves on account of their
small majority in the Senate, and intends
to use these circumstances to his advan-
tage by making them give him an en-
dorsement Of character in order to retain
Republican Senate. In their extremi-
ty it is not improbable that The Repub-
licans may consent to retain fellowship
with s;i0hi notorious oc..-upt;oiistt as inc
South Carolina Rsdica, Senator, and &c
justify them in doing SO they may be
willing to go through the sham of an In
vestigation; but if it is attempted there
is every probability that the evidence
viii be so strong against them that even
the unblushing eilrontery of Republican
Senators cannot and will not submit to
an association with such concentrated in.
carnation of all that is iespicable and to
be loathed in the character Of a man.
The presence of Patterson in the Senate
is an insult to the American name that
cannot DO atoned by anything short of
his expulsion. We nope .Ir the sake of
our conntry's name In history, as we'll as
for the Senatorial dignity of uur govern

The Democrats would indeed be hard
to please il they were not satisfied with
the result of the Fall elections which
have passed. Fifteen States have voted
for State officers, namely: New York,
New jersey. Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, Ohio, Mississippi, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and
California. Of these, only five went for
Tildcn last Fall-Ncw York, New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Virginia and Mississippi.
All the Others voted for Hayes. This
year, all five of the States which went
for Tilden have been carried by the Dem
ocrats, and Pennsylvania, Ohio and Cali
fornin have gone Democratic by hand
some majorities. Local elections were
also held in Connecticut, which seem to
indicate Republican gains, but they are
not substantial, and result from the lack
Of effort ON the part Of the Democrats
In New York we have gained at least
one Senator and six representatives in
the State Legislature. These facts prove
that the country realizes the enorm;.y Of
the crime perpetrated in the last election,
and is determined 10 punish it by driving
from power the party which championed
the fraud. The remark of Gov. Tilden,
that "the men who are elected must be
inaugurnted," is the talismun of victory,
and wherever it is inscribed as the battle
cry, victory pcrches almost invariably
upon the standard which bears it. The
changes in the next Electoral Coiiege
will be immense, if things stand as they
do to-day. Last year Hayes had 1875
votes, counting Pennsylvania, Ohio, CAL
ifornia, Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina. Without these States, Tilden
had l84. These States have an aggre-
gate of rs votes; hence if they be taken
from Hayes vote, or the Republican ma
jority as counted in the Electoral College
last year, and added to the Democratic
vote, the figures would stand-Republi-
can, no; Democrats, 259; or majority
of l49, which allows the Democrats to
lose seventy-four votes from States they
now have, and still elect the next Presi-
dent. in financial point of view, these
elections equally clearly speak the con-
dembation of the policy frepublicanisln.
The silver dollar has bcea teudsrly han
died by all, and most Of the conventions
have passed resolutions favoring it. in
Difference to the peoples will. Resump-
ton has also been treated with disfayor,
and postponement demanded by the
people at the polls. Altogether, the re-
suit is most encouraging, not only to the
Democratic party, but to all true friends
of tho Republic and Its Constitution.
