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 to the people
of the State the advantage of postpone
ment of the political prosecutions, which
will result in the abandonment of very
man, 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 will 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.

In a dispath from Prosperity to the
Mews 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, at Mar
tins Depot, Laurens County. She sue
ceeded in burning all outhouse." This
proceeding is unwarranted, and deserves
unqualified condemnation. Lynch law
is always dangerous, and greatly to be
regretted. It can only be excused in
cases of most heinous crimes against law,
morality and. society, and should 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
left to the courts to deal with.

President Garfield has at last reached

President Garfield has at last reached
the South Carolina appointments, and
has named for District Attorney Hon.
Samuel W. Melton, of Columbia, and for
United States Marshal Capt. Absalom
Blythe, of Greenville. Judge Melton is
Republican Of prominence and ability,
having filled the positions Of Circuit
Judge and Attorney.General under the
Republican administration. He has
made reputation for fair and honest
conduct, which has given him a high
position in the State, and our people will
be generally pleased with his appoint
ment to this important Office. Heis con.
servative in sentiment, and will make an
excellent officer if allowed to shape his
own management of the Office. Capt.
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 a stalwart Republican, but, at 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 deadlock.

Consistency is jewel that is indeed
rarely ever displayed in the action ofthe
Republican party or its allies. Malone
pretends to champion the cause Of a free
and priceless ballot, together with fair
and honest count, and yet, impostor and
renegade, he barters off his own vote. Is
he fit champion for honesty and politi-
cal faith 2 His only display Of himself is
as a trickster and trader of votes. He
processes to be an independent figure in
American politics, standing up for the
right, despite the powers of the contend
ing political parties, and he has never
dared to vote contrary to the caucus
dictates of his Republican masters. Obi

feel at the disgraceful and corrupt con.
duct of the 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 are either ignorantly or inten-
tionally public enemies.

leading iron men of the West, and is
noted for his integrity, sterling habits

Republican hypocrisy manifests itself

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 q most diabolical and dangerous
insurrection in Virginia before the war,
and yet they allow his poor old widow,
who is left old and destitute by the exc
cution of her husband who gave up his
life in the effort to carry out their profess

lutte poverty. Whatever may be said of
John Brown and his crimes, it is certain
that he was not hypocrite. 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 a
statue to his memory to insult and anger
the South, but refuse to give aid and
comfort to his aged widow, to soothe her
in the brief remnant of her declining
years. Oh, generation of Pharisees, hyp-
ocrites and vipers

her tongue slightly moist and covered
with thin white coating; eyes bright and
wide open, showing some appearance of

age in Virginia. After this arrangement
he went along like brave little trader,
and performed his part of the contract to
the letter, and the Republicans are to day
enjoying the purchase money which
Malone has paid them by possessing the
committees of the Senate. The Repub.
licans, too, with that honesty which
always characterizes them when they are
expecting further favors, are willing and
anxious to pay their part of the trade,
but the Democrats will not allow them to
do so. They must be hard.hearted
fellows to refuse Malone and the Repub-
licans the pleasure which the settlement
of this matter would afford. They are
actually standing in the way of complet-
ing an important political trade, just
because they have discovered corruption
in its terms. Malone and the Republi-
cans no doubt consider this a most
unreasonable opposition. The country,
however, seems to differ with them on
that question.

After making two fair and judicious
nominations for this State, the President
seems to have wearied in we'll doing and
given himself over TO the old ring for q
while. He had nominated two respecta-
Bile natives, and thereupon came to the
conclusion that the genuine carpet
bagger should have a showing, and
accordingly nominated for Postmaster at
Charleston w. N. Taft, the Ex-senator
from Charleston county, whose previous
conduct has been exceedingly distasteful
to the people of South Carolina, and
particularly to the people of Charleston.
In this the President appears to us to
evince that vascillation and lack Of
moral courage which presages very great
uncertainty as to his future policy. He
evidently wants to establish respectable
Republican party in South Carolina, but
has not the independence and resolution
necessary to overthrow the old ring poll
ticians of the party. In this dilemma,
however, We hope the Democrats of the
Senate will come to his rescue by reject
ing Taft and allowing him another op-
portunity to give to the people of Char
lesion an acceptable Postmaster. The
opposition to Taft is not political, but
because he is obnoxious personally to
the better element our citizens. When
the Democrats approve the nomination
of Melton and Blythe their opposition to
Taft should be listened to calmly and
deliberately, and if this is done we have
no doubt that our Senators will be able
to present sufficient reasons to induce his
rejection.

- The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case Of
Miles, Mormon who had been convicted
of bigamy in the Utah courts, affords a
fresh illustration of the difficulty of deal
ing with the evils of polygamy by legal
process. Three points were made by
Miles's counsel in his appeal to the Su-
preme Court: First, 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 testimony of the
alleged second wife was admitted to
prove the marriage of Miles to his first
wife. The first two points we're oyerrul-
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 convic-
tion, was reversed. Under this decision,
the obtaining of evidence sufficient to
convict of polygamy, already extremely
difficult, becomes practically impossible:
The Mormon marriage ceremonies are OF
q secret character, and the records of
them are closely guarded. The first wife
cannot be used as a witness against her
husband; and as to the second wife,
until the fact Of the mans first marriage
is proved, she is prinaa tacie his first wife,
and therefore incapacitated as witness.
The Supreme Court, in its decision,
remarks that if both wives are excluded
from testifying to 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 attaiuable."
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 of the laws against it.

The Republicans like Malone to advo-
cate free ballot and a fair count, and yet
they have just bargained for the vote OF
the little man from Virginia, by which
they organized the Senate, and four
years ago they refused fair count for
the Presidency, and by forgery, perjury
and corruption obtained for President
Hayes what really belonged to Gov. Til
den. The Democrats need not fear to
60 before tho country upon this issue.
The accusations made by the Republi-
cans are only intended to divert atten-
tion from the great crimes their party is
continually committing against liberty
and law.

A Bold Financial Stroke.
WAcu1xcToN Anril 1881

WASHINGTON, April II, 1881.
The Secretary Of the Treasury to-day
issued circular calling in the Sl95, ,0OO,-
600 6 per cent. bonds (the whole amount
now outstanding) on the LIST 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 81 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 both Of
