LAST THURSDAY AT SPARTANBURG.

LAST THURSDAY AT SPARTANBURG.
The meeting as Spartanburg last Thursday
was all that could be desired in the way of a
grand Inauguration of the coming campaign
Besides the outpouring of people from every
nook and corner of the county, there were al
so in line and under review by Adjutant
General Noise and staff, the Spartanburg
Rifles, Lieutenant Bacon Butler Guards
Captain Bramlet; Gordon Rangers, Captain
Miller; Evins Troop, Captain Britain ; "Red
Shirts" Captain W. S. Means, and the Jen'
kins Rifles, Captain j. R. Gardner, of York
Vile, who went at the invitation of the Spar
tan Rifles. the line for review stretched out
distance of over one mile, and after the re
view was ended, the column, numbering near
two thousand, mounted and on foot, marched
TO the grove at the head of Main street
where the speakers stand had been erected.
Governor Hampton was laboring under
severe indisposition and could not participate
in the proceedings; it being with great diff
Guilty that he went to the ground during the
speaking, for the purpose of making his &C.
acknowledgements to the crowd who had assem-
bed to do him honor. Besides the Cover.
nor's brief address, speeches we're also deiv.
cred by Generals Noise, Hagood, Gary, Lieu,
tenant. Governor Simpson and Hon. John S.
Richardson. The speaking, which ended al
half past 2, was characterized by exceeding
earnestness and fervor, and developed CORES,
ponding spirit on the large audience. Moth
ing occurred to mar the occasion, and it may
be truly said that Spartanburg is entitled to
the honor of being the "Banner County" OF
'7S, unless that proud distinction is wrested
from her in the course of the campaign.
From Spartanburg the Governor has gone
to Glenn Springs to pass few days for the
purpose of rest and recuperation.

Says the Charlotte Observer I: There is a
little strip of country, not more than three
miles wide, between the six-mle and twelve.
mile creeks in Union county, on which no
rain has fallen since the 18th of last May.
The stricken territory extends to the Clay
Hill country, in York county, S. G., and
everything in it is of course burnt up. There
have been good rains on both sides of this
dry strip, but hardly drop has fallen on it.
- The venerable father of Mr.. j. A. G..
Gruber, engineer on the Charlotte and States
Vile Railroad, and of Prof S. F. E. Gruber,
of the "Gruber family" died suddenly, We'd

garden about $50 o'clock in the morning,
when he was taken suddenly i'll and died IN
two hours. Mr. Gruber was in his eightieth
year.
Information has reached Charlotte of
sad tragedy which occurred few days ago
in Rutherford county, in which the Rev.
Wade Hill, wel-known Baptist preacher,
shot and killed his son-in-aw, Andy Scrog-
gins. 1t appears that Scroggins had NAL
treated one of Mr. Hills daughters, and
when Mr.. Hill spoke to him about it, diff
Guilty ensued in which the father-in-law got
the best of his son. A few days afterwards
the two men met again, and Scroggins drew
pistol and fred twice in rapid succession,
neither shot, however, taking effect. Mr..
Hill then, acting on the defensive, drew
pistol and fired once, killing his antagonist
instantly. Mr.. Hill is a Baptist minister,
and is very popular in his section of the State.
He gave himself up.

The next meeting will be held at Chester, on

The hearing of the test State bond cases
was commenced in Columbia on Thursday
last, before the Court of Claims, all the
Judges being present. Counsel agreed that
the cases on the calendar should all be tried
together, and that two of them involved all
the questions contained in them all. Mr..
Simonton then read the complaints in the
cases of James Hunter vs.. the State, and the
Washington Light Infantry Charitable Asso-
citation VS.. the same, the cases being identical
except in the amount and number Of the
coupons. The answers were read by Mr..
Pope, and allege for their several defences,
generally, that the detached coupons were not
valid debts of the State-all coupons which
were ever valid maturing on or before Jul y
l, 1871, having either been paid or remained
attached to the bonds to which they belong.

MADRID, November IL.
The trial Of Moncasi, who attempted to
assassinate the King, commenced to-day.
The public prosecutor asked the Court to
pass the sentence Of death, but the defense
urged that the whole proceedings should
be recommended. The prosecution showed
from Moncasi's own confessions that the
crime was premeditated since 1877. He
had then intended to attempt it when the
King visited T~arrgaona. The defense
urged that Moncasi was insane, or at least
only attempted to infiict bodily harm.
The sentence Of death will be passed to-
morrow.

Unfortunately, and especially in this
country, the jurics are but sorry repre-
sentatives Of any responsible sentiment.
In all the larger cities, the jury system
has, the Chicago Tribune alleges, like the
local Governments, fallen into the hands
Of those entertaining the lowest moral SEN
timents, and to a great extent into the
hands, il not Of the criminal classes, OF the
friends and sympathizers Of criminals.
The same moral degradation which renders
bribery, corruption and general dishonesty
SO prevalent in municipal administration.
has unfortunately taken possession OF the
jury system. While the one class-those
who live by industrial occupation, and OF
course the best representatives OF the
country"-seek all means to avoid jury
service, the other class, which does not
live by industry-the idle, improvident,
worthless, corrupt and dishonest-seek
service as jurors just as they do offices
without salary, for the opportunities 1T
affords to sell their official services for
gain. A juror who will not agree to a YER
dict Of guilty can command a liberal price,
and the trouble with the jury system in all
the large cities is that o criminal with
means can too often find a juror, or several
Of them, who know their value, and who
are willing to render the service needed for
a valuable consideration. The facilities
for the friends, ac~complices, relatives and
associates of criminals to get on juries are
SO great that the theory that the jury
represents the country in criminal cases
il hardly borne out by the real facts.
