rbe Meeting at Honea Path.

The meeting at Honea Path on last Satur-
day was large and enthusiastic, despite the
very inclement weather. The stand was
commodious, and appropriate mottoes were
placed upon and around it. Dr.. Il. a.
Hudgens presided, and introduced Senator
Hampton, who spoke forty-five minutes.
He said that every pledge made by him in
1876 had been fulfilled, and pointed out the
benefits of Democratic rule contrasted with
the evils of Republican government. He
also gave graphic. and entertaining con-
,trast Of the character of Garfield and Han
cock, urging all to support the latter, and
expressing the opinion shat he would be
elected. He urged the people of this sec
ton to roll up large majorities for the whole
ticket. His speech was grand one, and
elected immense applause
Col. J. S.Cothran and Hon. j. 8. Muir.
raw also made eloquent and interesting
speeches which were enthusiastically receiy.
ed. There were about twenty-five hundred
persons present, and the most thorough,
unity and enthusiasm prevailed. Several
hundred colored men were present. many
of them in red shirts, and they gave the
best Of attention, joining in the shouts for
Hancock and Hagood. The speeches had
very happy effect upon them, and the ut
most good feeling prevailed the whole
meeting. The good people of Honea Path
achieved great success in this meeting, the
effects Of which were felt on last Tuesday.

Tb, Belton Shooting.

A serious difficulty occurred at Belton on
last Tuesday, beginning over the challenge
of a negro, who had voted at Honea Path
and was attempting to repeat at Belton.
He was defiant and insolent in the extreme,
saving to the man who stated that he had
voted that he was a - liar, and when
white man told him that he was liar the
negro struck him, whereupon general use
of sticks began, and, the negroes getting the
worst of it, one of them ran out Of the
crowd and shot Mr.. Young, who was quiet
" standing by, in the abdomen. Mr.
Young quietly examined the wound, which
was slight from the nearness of the pistol
and his thick clothing, and then drew his
pistol and shot the negro, who was running
ana firing backwards, through the shoulder.
The firing then became general, and some
thirty shots were discharged, but none of
them took effect. This difficulty, however,
convinced the negroes that the white peo-
ple of Bolton had some rights which they
were bound to respect, and had the effect Of
making them behave like civilized people
for the remainder of the day. The be-
hayior at Bolton showed the negroes to be
anxious for difficulty, and after being un-
able to get the white people to start it they
began it, it,theDselves The white people de.
serve great credit for their consideration and
forbearance in this provoking treatment
Tha negroes escaped wonderfully lightly,
considering tlle gravity of the outrages they
committed

StoIbrand In Anderson.

On last Thursday the Republicans held q
meeting in Anderson, which was addressed
by Gen. Stolbrand, their candidate for Con-
gress: It was arranged to have joint
meeting, and Col. Aiken was expected to
represent the Democrats, ebut was unable to
be present, So that Messrs. E. M. Rucker
and E. B. Murray were substituted for the
Democrats. Col. Cochran, the County
Chairman of the Republican party in this
County presided, and introduced as the
first speaker Col. Rucker, who made one of
his most eloquent and effective speeches.
He was. followed by Gen. Stolbrand, who
made weak and simple speech, without
force, and creating very little enthusiasm.
He was replied to by E. B. Murray, Esq,
who exposed his corrupt record as Superin-
,tendant of the Penitentisry, and dwelt up
ON the advantages of Democratic govern
rnent. Stolbrand replied, complimenting
the people Of Anderson upon their fairness
and good order, and claimed that as the
Democrats had not put him in the Peni-
tentiary, he was not guilty, of the charges
made against him. The meeting did no
harm-at least to the Democrats. 1t kept
the Republicans from making anything,
and showed the utter weakness and inca
pacity of the man they were voting for as
representative in Congress.

TRIED FOR HIS LIFE.

A great criminal trial may be likened to
great drama. Each of the opposing lawyers
strives to make a certain impression on the
twelve spectators in the jury box, while the
Judge prcsides to sec that all is done accord
ing to the rules Of the law. One such trial
took place some twenty years ago in Indiana.
The lawyer for the prisoner was Joseph g.
Marshall, great orator. The successful way
in which he put the evidence for the defence,
and the power OF a single sentence, are both
exhibited in the following narrative of the
trial:
Currie was an eccentric old man, who
coupled the profession Of school master with
that Of "herb doctor" One night Curries
wife being taken violently i'll, he gave her
what he took to be calomcl, but which prov
cd to be arsenic In the morning she was a
'corpse.
Alarmed at once what he had done, the old
man looked at his little cabin and fled from
the ueghborhood. A week later the smell
Of the dccaying body attracted the attention
of pa-sers, and Currie was indicted for mur-
der
Marshall believing him innocent of any
wrong intent, volunteered to defend him.
The only witness called for the defence was
DR.. Coruatt well k uovn physician Of Mad
ison. Mr.. Marshall without preliminary
questions handed Lin Two little papers care
fully folded, and asked him to inform the
jury of their contents. The physician took
the papers, adjusted his spectacles, he care
| fully examined the contents. Not satisfied
with this, he took up little Of each sub
stance, sIted them between his thumb and
iorcfuger, smet them, aud as final test,
tasted the least bit of each.
4 thlnF, sir, this is arsenic, and that calo-
MEL
That i. sufficient doctor, said NJ. Mar
shall. The prosecution has nothing to
ask.
This closed the evidence, and Mr.. Marshall
bowling to the court, and turning to the jury,
thu. addressed them:
Your honor and gentlemen of the jury,
you have noticed the ab.cnce of proof show
ing any criminal intent. Now, it, in the
broad light OF day, aud aided by the delicate
sense Of touch, aud Of TASTE and of sight,
Dr. Cornett, learned in his profession and
skilled in the use of drugs, decides with DIFF
fculty, and some considerable show of un-
certainty which is the poison and which is
the caomel, what can you expect of this
poor old man called fom his bed at mid
nisht, his nerves unstrung with fear, his
heart aching for wife shaken with deadly
fcaycr, his eyes dimmed with age, his mind
overcome with dread.
Take him away and hang him, if your
conscience will allow you?'
The effect was instantaneous and complete.
Currie was acquitted.
