Assistant District Attorney Bell replied that while

Judge Van Brunt he could not but feel that when he
rendered that decision he could not have been fully
cosnizant of the meaning OF the statute. In section

Bell said he admitted that the reversal of the

The Heat.
enforced

On last Wednesday the great heat
wave struck our town, and on Satnr-
day the thermometer registered 104
degrees. The oppression was almost
uncomfortable by man and beast.
There we're several instances Of sun
stroke, one Of which, Mr.. Michael
Haley, q fireman on the South Carroll
na fSailroad, who fell at the depot,
TERMINATED fatally, despite the kind
efforts Of physician and friends in
about four hours. Many were SO
FRUSTRATED as to pc compelled to fore
go their usual labor. A universal
calm seemed to prevail, there was no
breeze to fan the checks of the beated
sufferers, and the shadows Of night
brought but little relief from the op-
pressive sulLriness. From morning
until night and from night until
orning there WAS no comfort to be
found. The exhausted workman
sought ip vain for rest, and the gen
tlcmen Of leisure could no where find
cool spot to admit of repose. In
Charleston the effects Of the heat
were fearful, causing score of deaths
and dangerously prostrating many of
the people. In other large cities it
WAS equally severe and fatal in its
effects. On Sunday the ref eslling
showers came, and with it, the cool
ing winds, the of nights repose, and
an nnspeakable relief from the fever
ish distress of the days preceding. 1t
will in all probability be long time
before we will have another such
wave Of heat.

Appreciation Of tho Fress.

Gov. Simpson in his remarks to
the press said that all the invitations
showered upon its members showed
the appreciation in which the "Press
is being held" that it had borne the
bruut OF the burden Of sustaining the
peoples courage in the late dark days,
and though some few Of its members
may have been recreant, nearly all
were untiring and stannch in their
loyalty to the State and her civillza-
ton and honor, and now they are
iaaping their reward. This is very
cheering. People have not fully com.
pretended the hard labor and con-
slant watchfulness Of the press, nor
felt the full power Of lis influence.
We are glad to know higher and
healthier sentiment begins to obtain.

The Yellow FeYeR.

This terrible scourge appeared in
Memphis again 3 few days since,
striking terror and constcrpalion to
The hearts of its citizens. Immcdi-
atcly the exodus began, and as fast as
they could the people made their es.
cape by cvtry conceivable method OF
conveyance. So that in few days
from being city of large proper
tons Memphis was left with but q
handful Of inhabitants. The excite
ment was widespread. Other cities
forbade the entrance Of goods or per-
sons from Memphis within their linn
its, thus completely paralyzing the
commercial life Of the city But as
we go to press the reports from
Memphis are more reassurirg. No
new cases have appeared, and what
at one time threatened TO be the up
rising Of a dark cloud of disease and
death to cover the Mississippi valley,
does happily promise to die in it's
inception. 1t is true some cases have
appeared in New Orleans, but every
thing is being done to put that city
in good sanitary condition, and there
need be no fear of an epidemic there.

That it has been the potential agent
in staying the hands of justice from
visiting merited punishment upon
mNny O guilty head is fact which
cannot be gainsaycd. is shame
upon the land that it is so. The
report of the Grand Jury for Rich
land County to Judge Wallace, on
the 14th instant, is an instance of eX-
emplary. Investigation, and the fol.
lowing extract from that report
should be note of warning to the
officers Of the law in every county in
the State. Referring to three white
men who had been confined for some
trivial offence, and vino were unable
to give bond OF two hundred dollars
to secure their relief, it says: '"They
are confined in felon's cell, without
one article of furniture, the bare Aoor
and u few rags to sleep on, when men
accused Of the highest crime known
10 the law are placed in large, airy
rooms, neat, clean and reasonably
furnished" This practice of discrimi-
nation on the part of sherifTs and
jailors in favor Of criminals of social
standing is widespread and merits
rcbuke. live Histakc not there is a
statute against it. The popular sense
Of justice demands that this law he
enforced.
