SENTENCES OF COURT.
The Abbeyille Press and Banner 8


We think our Legislature should detino
tho punishment to be inflicted for carry
ing concealed weapons. Somo Judges
lot such offenders of very lightly, while
others are more severe in their sentences.
And again, we think tho same Judges
sometimes discriminate as between pris-
oners. AS evidence OF this read the fol-
lowing sentences at the Oconee Court, as
reported by the Eeo,gec Courier:
Estate VS.. Hamilton White-carrying
concealed weapons. True bill. Fload
guilty. Sentence three months in jaii or
a ans OF fifty dollars.
estate vs.. William Roach-carrying
concealed Weapons. True biii. Fioad
guilty. Sentence six months in the pen.
itentfary."
Can any living man see tho justice OF
tho difference In sentences, except per-
baps that the man sent to tho penitentia-
ry was negro, while the other, whose
aentence was in tho alternative, may
have been q white man. A negro aud q
white man were tried for this same Of
fence at Abbeville at our last term OF the
Court. The negro was sent to the pent.
tentiary for six mcnths-the white man
to the county jail for three months or pay
q fine.
Does not suoh Determinations against
the brotherin black offend our sense of
justicef
The difficulty about affixing definite
penalty to the offence of carrying con.
cealed weapon, Is tbs same as afixing a
certain punishment to all aasaults and
batteries. There are varying circum-
stances of sggravation In the offensc, aud
much must be left TO the discretion of
the Judge who tries the case. No dis.

twelve miles below Edgefield village,
went to Augusta with two.horse wagon
loaded with cotton. After selling his
cotton aud purchasing sona supplies ne
started for home late in the afternoon.
About o'clock, when very rear home

by four or five negro man, whose feet
were carefully bunG.ed up in rags. They
stopped the horses, dragged him from
the wagon, held him down, having frat
rubbed sand in his face, and eyes, and
rifed his pockets, after which they went
through the wagon. They then departed
noiselessly into tho woods. They took
from Mr.. Whittle some s45 in money,
and about $40 more in provisions and
dry goods. A reward Of fifty dollars has
been offered for the apprehension of the

THE ELECTION CASES.

The appointment of Hon. Emory
Speor, United States District Attorney
for Georgia, as special assistant for the
prosecution Of the election cases in South
Carolina is quite significant. when taken
in connection with the complexion of the
jury drawn for the approaching term OF
the United States Court Mr.. Speer was
a defeated independent candidate for
Congress in Georgia, and for his efforts
to break up the Democratic party in that
State was rewarded by tho appointment
to the Office of United States District
Attorney for Georgia. He has recently
been made prominent by the conviction
Of the Georgia ku klux cases. The jury
drawn for the next term of Court for this
State embraces quite number of Green.
back. Independents, as we'll as Radical
negroes, and the government evidently
intends to secure convictions, If possible,
by the ssrvices Of men as prosecuting
officers and Jurors who do not profess to
be Democrats. Thus they expect, by
selecting men who are nlost hostile to the
white people Of the State, and who are
more intelligent than the negroes, tho
more easily to secure convictions. and at
the same time, by representing to the
country that these convictions were
obtained before white juries by the work
of professed Indepepdent-D Democrats, to
obtain greater moral force for those con.
victions. 1t is an exceedingly strange
freak Of the iury.box that induces it reg.
usarly to turn out considerable number
of Republican and Independent political
leaders on each panel, and give very few
prominent Democrats. It is likewise q
shame and travesty upon Justice for the
District Attorney each time to pack the
jusies for conviction by standing aside
every respectable white man possible, to
make room for the partisan juries which
have been disgrace to the United States
election trials in South Carolina. The
present prosecutions will doubtless Go
very vigorous, bitter and partisan. rfr.
Speer will come here for money aud for
reputation as a successful prosecutor.
He hates the Democrats Of every section,
and Will be as bitter as possible. Such
trials, conducted throughout by iDtsnse
partisans, are crime against law. and q
reproach to the government. The. party
