y The press Of the entire country are
commenting strongly on a late order
issued by Postmaster General Key to the
postmasters of the country prohibiting
the forwarding Of letters when the State
is omitted in the address. For instance,
o letter directed to New York, must not
be forwarded to that city, but must go
to the Dead Letter Office, as N. Y, does
not appear in the address to indicate the
State. So it would be if a letter was
addressed, from this place, to any n in
Charleston and the S c., was omitted.
Although our postmaster might well
know the party addressed and that it
was meant for Charleston, S. c., she
could not forward it to that city, but
must forward it to the Dead Letter Of
fee. It used to be the pride of the De
partment that every imperfectly ad-
dressed letter found its destination. The
Postofice Department should be main
tanned for the convenience of the people
and not simply for the P. NJ. g., and his
subs to draw their salaries

The shooting of Nix, tie negro post
master at Blackville, by young Williams,
has been brought before the Cabinet at
Washington, and the affair will be made
the basis of action which will precipitate
a bitter and prolonged political debate in
Congress, covering the whole field of the
State sovereignty question. The Cabinet
will seek legislation from Congress giving
the general government the same juris-
diction, through the Federal courts, over
postmasters aud other Federal officers as
it o possesses over ven officers.
The issues involved in the Statute which
o gives the general government the
authority to transfer causes of revenue
agents from State to Federal courts will
be discussed in the Supreme Cous$ with
in two or three weeks. s

HI the Edgeheld court on Friday
Morning, the 18th, WAS commenced the
nal of james Booth for the murder OF
Brooker Toney. The court was engaged
1ptil the following Monday noon in TAX
Ing4estimony. Arguments were made
Senator NJ. G.. Butler, R. G. Bonham
and G. L. Woodward, Esq, for the de-
Tense, and Hon. J. G.. Sheppard, Gen. N.
W. Gary aud Solicitor Abney for the
State. On Tuesday at noon the jury
rendered a verdict of mot guilty" The
other parties concerned III this case
Marion and Sam Booth, John Carpenter,
Dave K'ssick, Mark Toney, v. L. Cole
man, Wade Lott and Elijah Watson
were tried on the evidence brought out
in the trial of Benjamin Booth, without
argument, and a verdict rendered in
each case of mot guilty"
The advertiser says: "The fatal affray
iof the 18th of August was a confused
melee, taking place amid a crowd aud
frantic excitement, and with apparently
a dozen men on either side, shooting
wildly. How was the real truth ever to
be got at? The speeches were long, and
interesting, and ingenious, and able, and
lopd. Judge Mackey charged ably,
leaning to acquittal and informing the
jury that they must attempt no mistrial
tricks, that he would sit there until
doomsday in the morning waiting fol-
their unconditional verdict. The jury
retired, and after remaining out for 9
few minutes, returned with a verdict o.
not guilty. And Ben Booth went free
And James Booth, Thomas Booth ano

graves! And the violated law Is no

Attorney General Devens in his argu-
ment before the Supreme Court Of the
United States on the Virginia case, con-
tended that according to the reconstruct
ton legislation Of Congress the colored
men whose cases were before the court
had the undoubted right to demand trial
before q jury Of their own race, and in
answer to interrogatories put to him by
Mr.. Justice Field, said that Chinese and
Irishmen had the right also to demand
to be tried before a jury of their own
race. This would imply that Mr.. Devens
thinks that every German, Englishman,
Freedman, Italian, &c, has the same
right. The position of Mr.. Devens is
too ridiculous to merit comment

Through the Democratic defeat 10 ouo

While Tlden may be able to control q
considerable following at the North ana
. limited one at the South, we feel n
dept that before the assembling on the
National Democratic Convention ! will
become perfectly apparent to his hackers
that he cooked his goose completely
when he cowardly abandoned his rights
in the last election. The South cannon
afford to sacrifice her self-respect by ever
again supporting this political knave and
coward.
Al the first view it would seem thai
the only man of great material proper
tons left on the Democratic s'de' IS ne
who is not and who never has oeen a
candidate; he who never schemes never
iutrigues, never stoops to conquer,
Whose financial theories are IN accord

But Bayard's is not the only name tna'
looms into prominence. There is Gen
Hancock, to whom General Chalmers O
