L1yELY.-Triai Justice DePass's o

L1vELY.-Trial Justice DePass's Of
fee presented quite a lively appearance
on last Monday morning. Several
gentlemen had been arrested upon
charges of intimidation by United
States Deputy Marshal Demus Brown
field upon the afidavits Of certain ne
groes. The gentlemen gave bond for
their appearance and Immediately had
warrants issued by Justice DePass for
the arrest Of their accusers upon charges
of perjury. This was an unlooked'ior
event by the negroes, and it created
quite stir among them. Demus was
arrested also upon a charge of obtain
ing goods under falsc pretences, and
required to give bond in the SUN o.
$500 for his appearance at the mex
term of Court, or 60 to Jail. He fa:lee

RATHER "CHEEKY."-E. j. Con.
way has in circulation petition, which
is signed BY many of our best citizens
praying the Legislature to give him
position in its service when it meets,
His pretensions to the conspicuous ia.
vor is that he voted the Democratic
ticket at the recent election. 1t ap>
pears to US that the conversion of E. j.
Conway to Democratic doctrine is rather
late in the day for him to bank on. If
the Legislature has any favors to be-
stow on colored Democrats from Ker-
shaw county, it should at least first con-
slider the claims Of such men as Foozle
Cantey, who stood by our party in its
darkest days, when it was almost
worth colored mans life to say he
was Democrat; and when E. j. Con-
way was one among the most blatant
Radicals in Kershaw county.

HARD TO REAL1zE.-The negroes
around here can hardly realize thai
things have taken change, and are
not now what they "use to was" in the
"good old days of carpet-bagism." Per-
jury is no crime in their eyes SO long as
the white man alone is the sufferer to
be dragged around and put in jail, and
compelled to submit to all kinds of in
diguities at their hands upon charges
trumped up and sworn by them, but
which in truth has no foundation what
ever. The negro must understand that
the white man can now have a little
share OF justice on bis side, too. One
sided law in this state. like carpet-tag-
ism, has passed away forever, and the
sooner the negro becomes aware of this
fact the better it will be for him.,

much better feeling. We quote prices
at II @ 84c; but only the finest grades
bring the latter figure. There is a
slight falling off in the receipts for the
week; we understand though that there
is still good deal Of cotton held back
in the country for rise in the market.

of going to Columbia by rail in the GUS

UB1ou1Tous.--The afidavits. upon
which several of the insimidation war
rants were based, were made by one
Wilson Williams, who it seems was
everywhere at one time on the day of the

perjury will doubtless have healthfuJ
effect upon him. Actions for perjury
have been begun not only against him
but several others.
