THE UBIQUITOUS PROSECUTIONS.
a SIce Batch OF Jurors to Try Decent
Men.
CmAnLEsroN. Isl C Anril

CHARLESTON, S. c., April a.
AT the opening Of court Judge Pond
announced that lie overruled the chal-
lenges to the array of the grand and petit
jurors, on the ground that no improper
conCuct or fraud Was complained Of on
the part oi the officers who drew the iu-
rcs, and the irregular drawing was,
therefore, matter Of no consequence
Judge Bryan divided on this point in an
able opinion and the division WIS ccrti-
:ied. This prevents the imprisonment or
other punishment Of any one tried by
these jurics until the Supreme Court Of
the United States has decided the points
upon which the Judges divided.
The case Of the United Stats rs. Will
liam kcrrlgan, for assauting superyi.
sor, was then called, and Mackey claimed
to examine him upon his roir dire as to
his participation in the rebellion
Colonel Edward NcCrady, for the de-
tense argued, first, that the section Of the
revised statutes making this n cause of
challenge had been repealed, and, second,
that II now law, such participation must
be proved and the witness could not be
compelled to acknowledge hi:nself guilty
OF what was, according to the statutes,
treason.
Judge Bond oycrrued Doth points, and
the Court again divided.
Mackey then applied the test oath, cx-
Guiding nine Jurymcn in this way, and
challenging three peremptoryil. Tie de-
icnac challenged three pe!,mptorily,
but refused to challenge participation il

The following jury was crnpanelcd ::

.'idge Magrath then moved to contn-
ue the case, III strong argument to the
discretion of the court, but Judge Bond
refused the motion.
The testimony was then taken, show
ing that the supervisor was not in the
performance Of his duty when struck.
Argument was had for the defense by
J. w. Barnwell and Julian Mitchell,
Esqs.; for the government by G. Nor
throp; and the case was submitted to the
jury. They brought in sealed verdict
this afternoon which, to every ones as

guilty. J. w. b.

it would be secured at too much incon-
venience to justify the change, and there
fore we trust that General Connor will
not impose an actual delay in the de-
livery of all the mail except that from
Charleston in order TO hasten the delivery
of the Ners and Cdurier. We hope he
will not so greatly incommode the trav-
elling public for the purpose of accom-

the present schedule suits the people of

any that can easily be arranged.

The FURRY In Cotton.

The daily sessions of the Exchange last
week were probably the most exciting of
any that ever occurred and certainly
more so than for many seasons. The
business in options was very remarkable,
reaching the enormous total of $50 1000
bales iOr the six days, while !ibera! ad-
dition to values was made, the gain
from the lowest point being 95(G97
points, or within small fraction of lc.
per pound advance, most of which was
retained. SO liberal was the movement
and rapid the improvement at times that
even some of the most positive "bulls"
found themselves outdOne in the bid
ding. Everybody who was "short" did
what they could to correct their error,
while the scramble to secure cotton was
universal among the regular trade, and
the infection spread to large number of
outside operators. The basis for the ad-
vance is to be found in the great discre-
pancy as shown in present supplies as
compared with former years. the strong
evidences OF light additions to come, and
a more general belief that cotton must be
increased in cost until the production Of
goods is cprtailed sufficiently to euualize
supply and demand. Liverpool appears
to be in vacilleting sort Of mood, but
only when sending over cable dispatches
of buoyant character did the influence
amount to anything here. In fact, our
market has been On Independent one to
large extent, and contained most influ-
ences within itself, through which the
daily manipulations were conducted. In
view of the radical change in the situa-
ton as compared with q few weeks ago
and the violence OF some Of the fiuctua-
tions, it is somewhat remarkable that no
failures have been aonounced.-N y.

THE REGISTER ON DEpopULArIoN.-
This paper, it seems to us, takes emf
aeatly .;ust views of this matter. The
South can never be depopulateG by any
general hegira of her colored citizens.
If any can go, we bid them God-speed 20
Liberia, Kansas or anywhere else. They
can never be controlling element in
Legislation. If they are to be a bone of
contention and keep up the line between
the North and South, the sooner they
depart the better. Such campaigns as
we have had destroy not only the mate
rial resources of the State, but degrade
the whole moral tone of our people. In
1876 we surrendered business and all
else to politics. In 1873 very much the
same course was pursued. Labor was
domoFalized money expended indus
tries paralyzed, and, we repeat, worse
than all, rninous habits entailed, espe-
cially on the young. Then, in the name

"DOn't Put 1t In the Paper"

For heavens sake don't let it get into
the papers, is the first cry of a person
caught in a mean scrapc. Keep it outof
the papers and it is all right. No matter
how contemplate or dishonest the posi-
ton may be, or how much reason the
offender may have for shame, rcmorsc and
contrition, it the circumstances can bc
kept from the ''cormorants of the press,'
as the people who have good reason to
be afraid of newspaper reporters call
them, he is tranquil and happy: We arc
no champion for that extreme license Of
the press that is sometimes displayed,
but we have noticed that the ones who
cry out the loudest against newspaper
disclosures arc generally those whose own
lives and acts would not bear the closest
inspection. People who live clean
straightforward lives have little to fear:
from the newspapers.

as the rules direct, ever since her departure,
she is ordered to remain here for the present.
Anxious friends in St. Louis are awaiting US
with minds agonized by the rumors and re-
ports with which the air is filled, and here
we retletained almost within sight of their.
We feel as though all our sacrifices and the
expense we have been put to to
comply with the quarantine regula-
tions aro poorly repaid by this
reception. There are at least fifty children
and infants among the deck passengers, who
will have to try to rest tonight, as they have
done for the past fifty hours, on the rough
deck, or in their mothers tired arms. OF
course there are no conveniences for such a
crowd, and even decency is sacrificed in the
condition of living they are compelled to
submit to. Your own noble State met us
with even rougher repulse at Cairo last
night, and little bullet-headed Irishman in
a policeman's uniform, and worse than a
policeman's manners, refused to allow any
communication between the boat and shore.
The two counties just opposite here, Monroe
and Shelby, are patrolling the river banks
with rifles and shot-guns to preven,
any of US from leaving, although
several of our number live at or are destined
for Grand Tower, Chester and neighborine
points. A Mrs. Sullivan, with two small
children, begged the captain, with streaming
cheeks, not to curry her past her home il
