COLUMBIA, s. c.. Dec: 3,-The testimony in the
Mitchell case was concluded In the United States
court to-day u is the custom IN Char Charleston TO
and one of whites. A mulatto named Clark at
iempted 10 break from his line to the white line
nj Inc registration In May, 1882, but was stopped
bv Policeman Mitchell and turned back. A
deputy United States marshal then came up and
told Mitchell to come with him, but Mitchell re-
fused unless warrant was shown. The deputy
marshal then left the scene. No violence OF dis.
order is alleged. The arguments will be heard
tomorrow. District Attorney Melton and Mt.
Speer appear for the government, and Judge Ma
Erath and ex-Attorney General Yeomans ior the
defense.
find the above dispatch from Columbia,
S. c., in your issue of Dec. T. When we con-
slider how little Is known of the true state of
affairs in South Carolina we are panied to
think that paper Of the standing and influ-
ence of The REPUBLICAN should allow its
correspondent to so misrepresent the facts
1t is true that at this place Of registration
two lines were formed-one of white'vstets
and one of coored-not for convenience, but
for fraud. White voters were allowed TO
register when they presented themselves,
and colored voters were held fIaelh faF that
purpose Clark, tho mulntto M question, as
the sworn testimony of the witRebseSproved
did not present himself in the white line but
in the colored line, and was three times
elected from it by tho policeman Mitchell,
arbitrarily and without authority Whatever.
The deputy marshal coming up at the time
put him. Clark. back in line, when he was
forced out again by the policeman Mitchell,
and not permitted to present himself to the
supervisor for registration.
Mitchell refused to be arrested, and to pre-
vent riot the deputy marshal let him alone
until next day.
The governments case was perfect and the
jury first TO last stood eleven for conviction
The vote for acquittal was given by demo
cratic juryman. A democratic state senator
remarked week ago that this man would
stand out for acquittal in every case If he was
put on the Jury. 1t is notable fact that q
democrat will not vote for conviction in any
of these cases. no matter how plain the evi-
dence may be.
The government can hardly expect justice
from the hands of men who can make demo.
cratic majority of 1000 in q county of only
1000 voters, q majority Of whom are repub.
cans, as was done in Edgefeld county, whore
Tilden got 1000 majority out of a voting
population of 1000, two-thirds of whom were
republicans.
A ward in Charleston, with a vote OF about
500, gave 1,310 democratic votes to four votes
for the republican candidate, when, in fact q
msjority> of the votes pnt in the box wero re.
publican. To make the poll list tally with
the votes counted names were copied from q
Cincinnati directory.
These are proven facts and only n few oi
the innumerabte frauds that are practiced in
every county in the state.
