THE current statement that some COM
promise or adjustment of the pending polit-
ical trials in the United States and State
courts in South Carolina has been reached
by the consent or conniyance of Attorney
General DEvENs proves to be unfounded in
fact or intention. 1t is not the habit Of the
Attorney TO entertain propositions
Of this nature in fact, they are repulsiye to
him, aud in this case none have been sub
mitted or suggested. If they had been his
stern sense Of duty and his determination
to execute the laws by bringing offenders of
all classes to justice would have induced
him to reject them without hesitation. The
remark cannot be more appropriately made
than in this immediate connection that
there is no official of the Government, in
Washington or out Of it, whose persistent
adherence to patriotic conviction can be re-
lied upon with greater certainty than Judge
DEVENs' And we add that his convictions
are invariably Of the Stalwart kind, which
enable him TO see difference between pro-

On Wednesday Mr. UPDEGRAFF of Ohio,
made an exceedingly well-considered and
wcll-said speech on the legislative, execu-
tive, and judicial appropriation bill The
effort is Stalwart throughout. Aftera proper
introduction of his subject he took Mr..
CHALMERS in hand, and although he
showed more mercy than that Confederate
Brigadier did at Fort Pillow, he handled
that bloody recorded man with becoming
severity. lie fortified his position strongly
with authorities in its justification. Hiss ar
gument was clearly and forcibly drawn,
His rhetoric was excellent in character aud
taste, and his humor was keen and enjoyable.
A want of space forbids that we shall OK
tract from this excellent effort, but it pre-
sents the pending issues in Congress with
olearness and Yigor. Suffice it to say that
Mr.. UPDEGRAFF covered the case with un-
usual power The effort ranks well up in
the scale of forensic literature produced al
This session.

SENATOR CoNELING has spoken, and
whether or not he has again made q" the
great effort of his life" as the Demo-
Gratis phrase it, when his mastery effort is
circulated and read, in all its fullness and
richness, the popular verdict will be given.
To say the least the country will be filed
with pride at this effort; and yet the Dem
ocrais are not happy over its utterances.
And why should they be? He stripped the
mask from their faces and the gauzy cover
ing from their nelarious history and plots
and they stand before the world nude in all
their deformity. They are not expected tc
be happy under such circumstances.

THE Senate, by direct party VOTE yes
terday agreed to the Bourbon policy of dis
charging ex-Union soldiers from its employ
for the purpose of giving employment to

this point as follows:
But no office or employment made vacant by
the removal or dismissal of a person who
served in the forces of the Union shall be filled
or supplied by any person who served in the
Confederate army at any time during the
war.
This amendment having been instantly
rejected the original rule was adopted, Civ

EDITOR ADVANCE: 1t matters not
how the political pot of Mobiles County
may bubble and boil, or What SKIM
mings the little handful Of machine pol
iticians may undertake to bring to the
surface and discharge at the approach
ing County Convention, one thing the
voters of this county will not permit
them to do, and that is to throw over
board the present incumbent Of tie Of
flee of Register Of Deeds. Joseph Chad
wick has exerted himself to his utmost
capacity to serve the people honestly,
faithfully and satisfactorily, and has
succeeded admirably i'll gaining the con-
tidence Of the voters Of this county, and
they will renominate him III Oct. and
elect him in Nov. fer another term.
We have heard that some Of the Wor
Ellington machine politicians want L.
Il. Kimball to be Il candidate for THAT
Office, but if he sought to lower himself
in the estimation Of his friends, he
could accomplish it in no better way
than to allow himself to he Il candidate
against the cripple, Joseph Chadwick.
That the Democrats gave him the
nomination is no discredit to Mr.. Chad
wick. Though the Democrats have been
guilty of many mean things, even they
were too generous toward cripple to
not endorse him at their Convention.

robbed the previous evening Of $2S.
The robbers having disguised them
selves by backing their faces and tying

asked "wlio was there:" said ''Snyder''

from bed and opened the Il OF when
one Of the robbers seized him by the
arm while the other put Il revolver to
his head and told him he wanted his
money. Monday afternoon, Cl,as.
Richards and johnny Anscomb were
arrested and brought before Justice
Smith, but were released. KONG said
he knew 1t WAS not them that robbed
him. Matters here rested until Friday.
when David Chambers and William II.
Clark were arrested, charged with the
crime. The preliminary examination
was held before Justice Smith and they
were bound oyer for heirappearance 1T

on the Assessors books and passed into

in this case, has taken upon himself tile
Commissioners business, and paid his

The County Commissioners, at their
meeting on the 7tli day of June, are re.

all the tree claims in the county on
which they had allowed bounties and
they found none which came up to the
requirements Of the law.
Why did this not appear in the Audi.
