Tomorrow after II charge from the
Presiding Judge, the case will be given
to the jury. The accused are eleven
white citizens of Aiken county, who
are charged, under the enforcement
act, with n conspiracy to interfere
with the political rights of David
Bush, colored. Some 250 OF 300 whites
from the same county have been ar
rested and held to bail on similar
charges, but only these eleven have
been brought to trial as test. The
charge of Chief Justice Wait to-mor-
row is looked for with great interest.
The jury is composed Of six white

Williams, the wealthy Charleston
banker, as foreman. The general ex-
pectation is that they will be unable to
agree upon a verdict.

The Business Outlook.

The committee at large of merchants,
me chanics and manufacturers through
out the country, who have had under con-
sideration the petition of the croakers,
have reported unanimously leave to with
draw, and the community at large will &C
cept the report without debate.
There is no reason 10 doubt now as to
the prospect of the opening of inland nav
igation at an earlier date than usual.
This has generally been regarded as the
key 10 spring business. At home our
merchants and jobbers are doing more
than a fair business, the boot and shoe
trade has nothing to complain of, nor has
the dry goods iobbing trade. The real
basis upon which an increased business
movement can be formed is the condition
OF the producing regions, as TO their pros
pect for demand present and to come.
and upon The ability to turn this demand
into the regular business channels. From
Chicago to Texas there seems-to be no
hesitation on the part of merchants and
traders in ordering their supplies, simply
because they are backed up by demand
for product. 1t is patent fact that needs
no argument, that stocks of goods all
through the West and Southwest have
been reduced TO the lowest minimum.
These stocks must be replenished. and
with power TO do SO the traders will not
be backward In their purchases. for which
they have1he means TO pay. The export
demands for our cereals, for our cotton,
oil. provisions and manufactures, is large
enough TO tax the powers OF exporters to
their fullest extent.
Another element which enters into the
calculation Ct our commercial and bust
ness prosperity, and one which should
not be overlooked, is the gradual but GER
tain reduction 10 business expenses.
That extravaganza in this line has been
our curse for the past twenty years is
now apparent. Real estate owners have
recognized it, and they are DESTROYS to
secure the good will of tenants by max
ing large reductions in rent. Following
this comes the reduction in salaries and
wages, aud still further comes the neces-
sity for reduction in house rent. board,
and other current expenses to meet the
reduction which begins at the fountain
bead.
We hare virtually passed the rubicon
OF disaster which the croakers predicted
