The trial Of all the criminal cases in
the United States Court at Charleston
were postponed last week until next year,
except cases which may be taken up at
Columbia or Greenville for the conye-
nience of witnesses and parties by con-
sent. This continuance resulted from the
lack Of United States Marshal for this
State, which Is due TO the deadlock in
the United States Senate. This dead.
lock, therefore, has given 10 the people
of the State the advantage of postpone
ment of the political prosecutions, which
will result in the abandonment of very
many Of the cases, and in that way afford
relief to vast numbers Of our citizens,
who would by immediate trial have been
at the disadvantage of trial in which
the political passions Of the late election
would have played an important part
AS it is the modifying influences of
twelve months time viii doubtless take
away much Of the partisan bitterness of
the present, and give to the defendants
the advantages of fairer trial. To this
extent, at least, the Senatorial contest
has proven beneficial to the people of
South Carolina.

: William Means .be nov

= William Means, The new Demo-
cratic mayor of Cincinnati, is one of the
leading iron men of the West, and is
noted for his integrity, sterling habits
and freedom from rings, which ia more
than can be said Of the Republican
ex.mayor Of the brilliant pork city. His
father is Thomas Means, q native of
South Carolina, who is one of the oldest
millionaires living in the Ohio Valley.
He scarcely moved outside of his accus-
toned paths to secure the election, and
strongly resisted tho entreaties of his
friends to ''go among the people" to
solicit votes. He was elected practically
without money and without machinery,
and says he will enter upon the duties Of
his office altogether untrammelled and
unpledged.
Colored men are represented as hay
ing handsome farms and valuable herds
of cattle in Texas. Senator Burton, of
Fort Bend County, is colored. and is esti-
mated to be worth $4,000. He is olso
an educated man. While slave in Vir-
ginia he was taught reading and writing
by his mistress. She was made very
poor by the war, and he then showed his
appreciation of her instruction in former
days by supporting her in her adversity
ding day he sent present of a thousand
dollar check. The whole of ais property
has been acquired in Texas.
~ A charter was granted by the State of
Florida on Tuesday to q company to
build ship canal to connect the Atlantic
Ocean With the Gulf Of Mexico. The
Philadelphia company, recently formed
to drain the Everglades, and the canal
company are virtually the same enter
prise.

- The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case Of
Miles, Mormon who had been convicted
Of higamy in the Utah courts, affords d
fresh illustration of the difficulty of deal
ing with the evils Of polygamy by legal
process. Three points were made by
Aiiles's counsel in his appeal to the Su-
preme Court: Firet, that adherents OF the
Mormon faith were excluded from the
jury second, that the declarations of
Miles were admitted as proof of his mar
riage third, that the testimcny of the
alleged second wife was admitted TO
prove the marriage of Miles TO his first
wife. The first two POINTS were overrul-
ed, but the justice Of the third point was
conceded, and on The strength Of it the
decision of the Supreme Court of Utah,
affirming the validity of Miles's conyic.
tion, was reversed. Under this decision,
the obtaining of evidence sufficient to
convict of poIygamy, already extremely
difficult, becomes practically impossible
The Mormon marriage ceremonies are Of
secret character. and the records of
them are closely guarded. The frat wife
cannot be used as witness against her
husband; and as to the second wife,
until the fact Of the mans frat marriage
is proved, she is prin,a .facie his first wife,
and therefore incapscitated as witness.
The Supreme Court, in its decision,
remarks that if both wives are excluded
from testifying 70 the first marriage, as
in the opinion of this Court they should
be, under the existing rules of evidence,
testimony sufficient to convict for poly
gamy in Utah is hardly attainable."
The Court, of course, must interpret the
law. as it finds it, and cannot concern
itself with the results of such interpre.
tation. The remedy lies in the enact
ment by Congress of law making both
wives available as witnesses on indict.
ments for bigamy in Utah; and there
should be no delay in the enactment of
this law, if Congress has any serious
intention Of restraining polygamy by the
enforcement ofthe laws against it.

Consistency Is jewel that is indeed
rarely ever displayed in the action of the
Republican party or its allies. Malone
pretends to champion the cause of free
and priceless ballot, together with a fair
and honest count, and yet, impostor and
renegade, he barters of his own vote. Is
he fit champion for honesty and politi-
cal faith 2 His only display of himself is
as trickster and trader of votes. He

dared to vote contrary to the caucus
dictates of his Republican masters. Oil
the shame that all true Virginians must
feel at the disgraceful and corrupt con.
duct ofthe man who processes to repre-
sent them in the United States Senate.
Malone is nothing but political pirate.
Those who follow him or condone his
infamy arc either ignorantly or inten.
tionally public enemies.

In dispath from Prosperity to the
Nc,cs and Courier of last Tuesday, it is
stated that "a negro woman was lynched
on the 10th instant for attempting to
burn j. S. Blalock's premises, Mt Mar
tins Depot, Laurens County. She sue
cecded in burning all outhouse." This
proceeding is unwarranted, and deserves
unqualified condemnation. Lynch law
is always dangerous, and greatly to bo
regretted. I: can only DO excused in
cases of most heinous crimes against law,
morality and. society, and ehould not in
any other instances be tolerated or coun-
tenanced. We have faithful judiciary
and an honest government. The present
criminal laws are in our own control, and
no one should be allowed to take them
in hand, except where the crime is one of
those which shocks humanity and society
to such an extent that nothing but the
vengeance of an enraged community can
properly avonge it. All cases of arson,
robbery and kindred crimes should be
Lett 70 tho courts to deal with.

Republican hypocrisy manifests itself
every day. They profess to love the
negro, and to venerate the memory of
old John Brown, who was hung for in
citing most diabolical and dangerous
insurrection in Virginia before the war,
and yet they allow his poor old widow,
who ia left old and destitute by the exc.
cution of her husband who gave up his
life in tho effort to carry out their profess
sions, to remain unproyded form abso-
lutte poverty. Whatever may be said of
John Brown and his crimes, il is certain
that he was not hypocri'e. What he
thought he acted upon. AS much can
not be said Of Dawes, and his fellow Re-
publican hypocrites. They have all of
John Browns faults, without his redeem
ing virtue of sincerity. They place q
statue to his memory to insult and anger
the South, but refuse to give aid and
comfort to his aged wido =, to soothe her
in the brief remnant of her declining
years. Oh, generation of Pharisees, hyp-
ocrites and vipers

A Bold Financial Stroke.

WASHINGTON, April II, 1881.
The Secretary of the Treasury to-day
issued circular calling in the $195 ,O00,-
600 G per cent. bonds (the whole amount
now outstanding) on the 1st Of July next,
but allowing to holders Of bonds the
privilege of continuing the loan during
the pleasure Of the Government with in.
terest at "a per cent, provided the bonds
are received by the Secretary on or before
the 10th day of May, 1881.
The public announcement thus made
OF the financial policy Of the Admins
tration excites general comment. The
late hour was chosen to prevent any thing
like an abnormal pressure in Wall street.
Mr. WINDOWS proposition to scale down
the interest on the SKIES after the 3Oth ul
June is declared sufficient to entitle him
to the cake as the Great Readjuster.
Great terest is felt as to the effect upon
the mo.-ey and stock markets to morrow

President Garfield has ut last reached
the South Carolina appointments, and
has named for District Attorney Hon.
Samuel w. Melton, of Columbia, and for
United States Marshal Capt. Absalon,
Blythe, of Greenyille. Judge Melton is
Republican Of prominence and ability,
having filed the positions of Circuit
Judge and Attorney General under the
Republican administration. He has
made q reputation for fair and honest
conduct, which has given him q high
position in the State, and our people will
be generally pleased with his appoint
ment to this important Office. He is con-
servativo in sentiment, and will make an
excellent officer if allowed to shapa his
own management of tho Office. Cap.
Blythe is also we'll known to the people
OF the State, and has occupied the posi-
ton Of Circuit Solicitor and United
States Commissioner under the Republi-
can party. He is somewhat inclined to
be q stalwart Republican, but, ut the
same time, he has proven himself hereto.
fore fair and upright in his conduct, and
our people think he will make an eff.
cient and acceptable Marshal. These
appointments Of the President will
doubtless be confirmed whenever the
Senate gets over the present dead lock.

met Chamberlain ct Edgeiield and began
tho aggressive warfare with all the vim
and dauntless courage which character
lied his life. This meeting was the key
to the success which followed in Noyem-
ber Gen. Gary was County Chairman
and candidate for tho State Senate, and
carried Edgefeld County, which had
been Republican stronghold, by 1890
majority, thereby securing the redemp.
tlon of the State and the election of Gov
ernor Hampton, whom he had been the
fret to nominate as the party candidate
for the campaign. In the Senate Gen.
Gary was an important factor. He ad.
vocatcd the usury law, opposed the South
Carolina University, favored the investi-
CATION Of the State debt, supported the
efforts to revive the Biuc Ridge Railroad
and the Columbia Canal, and was fore.
most in his zeal for evsry measure tha.
promised the advancement of the people
Of South Caroline.
In 1878 he became opposed to Gov.
Hampton's policy, and committed what
appeared to us the greatest error of his
life, in allowing those differences TO be-
come personal. The people Of the State
owed Gen. Gary great deal for his
brilliant and patriotic course, both in
war and in peace, and would certainly
have paid larger portion Of that debt
had it not been for this unfortunate posi-
ton, which held his claims in allowance
for n time. 1t was, however, but for o
time, and the near future undoubtedly
had high honors in storo for him had his
life been aparcd and his tastes led him
to pursue them.
His death is loss to his country, 70
his State aud to his political party. He
was true patriot and a noble man, for
above his own ambition lie held the
unity Of his party and the welfare Of his
State. General Gary was never married.
He was gentleman Of thorough refine.
mcnt, Of elegant taste and general cul-
ture. A kind, generous and devoted
friend, he could always be relied on by
those with whom he was associated He
was ardently and tcndcrly attached TO
his aged mother and fond of his brothers
and sisters. In him true man has
fallen, and even those who did not agroe
with him when alive will not fail to ioin
in that sincere regret for his death which
il genuine tribute to the worth of the
life which has ended in the prime Of its
manhood, and which gave promise of SO
much of future usefulness and honor.

they have just bargained for the vote of
tho little man from Virginia, by which
they organized the Senate, and four
years ago they refused fair count for

Hayes what really belonged to Gov. Til

In this the President appears to us TO

evidently wants to establish respectable
Republican party in South Carolina, but
has not the independence and resolution
necessary to overthrow the old ring poll.
