Cessation of Political Prosecutions.

The United States Court is now in
session in Charleston, but no election
cases will be tried. On Thursday,
the 18th, motion was made by Dis
trict Attorney Melton to dismiss all
cases on the docket involving charges
of violation of the election laws of
the United States. The motion was
granted and all the cases were strick-
en- from the docket. In making the
motion, Mr.. Melton reviewed the his
tory Of the cases. He stated that
when he had come into Office he found
about two hundred cases on the dock.
ct; realizing that all could not be
tried, he had obtained permission
from the Department of Justice to se-
lect the most serious and discontinue
the others. The cases 30 selected
were worked up by Special Agent
Sanders, appointed for the purpose:
The result of the trials was one con-
viction and one plea of guilty, the
other cases resulting in mistrials.
This is sn event Of considerable
Importance to the people of South
Carolina in their feeling of security
at home, and in their relations to the
National Government.
And simultaneously with this ces
sation of persecution of Democrats,
begins the prosecution of e1 United
States Marshal Blythe and his Depu
ty Msrshals, for the presentation OF
horrible and unlimited fraudulent
claims. True bills. have been found
against six Of them; but, unfortu'
nstely, it is not probable that the
cases will be heard at this term Of tie
Court.

The Churches Should Pay Their
Expenses.

We copy this most excellent article
from the Union Times, and recon
mend it to the consideration of all
our churches:
We have noticed the names Of Revs
G. T. Scaife, T. ]. Taylor and G. w.
Gardner among the delegates ap
pointed from this county to the South
ern Baptist Convention which will
convene in Baltimore early in May.
The whisper has reached our ears
that the Baptist Church in this place
will pay their pastors expenses to the
convention. This is a move in the
right direction. and we hope the
churches of which Messrs Scaife and
Taylor are pastors will raise funds to
pay their expenses also. 1t will help
the pastors and throuph them their
Churches, end we hope their churches
will send them. The cost of the trip
will not exceed thirty dollars.
Pastors, particularly those Of coun
try churches, seldom receive from
their congregations more than is nee
essary for the actual wants Of them
selves and families, and when the
duties.of their high calling demand
their attendance at the high courts Of
the church, as representatives Of their
separate pastoral charges, the churches
have no more right to expect them
to pay their expenses out of the linn
tied amount usually doled Out to
them, specially for pastoral services,
than State has to ask the represent
atives of the separate counties to de
fray their own expenses as members
Of the Legislature and ecclesiastl-
cal assemblies are as necessary for
the good of each separate pastoral
charge as the Legislature is for the
good of each county IN the State, and
the necessity Of representation SHOULD
be considered as equally imperative.

"A Real Necessity.

We presume there is hardly lady to be
found in our broad land who if she does
not already possess sewing machine, ex.
poets some day to become the owner of one
But after the mind has been fully made
up to purchase one Of these indispensable
articles, the question arises as to what kind
of a machine to buy.
1t should be so simply constructed tina,
the most inexperienced can successfully
operate it. The other points mainly to be
considered, and which are the most desire.
able, are durability, rapidity, capacity for
work, ease of operation, regularity OF mo.
tion, uniformity Of tension, and silence while
in operation.
The "Light-Running New Home" fills
the above requirements, and is said to com
bine the good points of all sewing machines,
with the addition OF many new improve
mcnts and labor-saving devices.
The price is no higher than that Of c:i.er
machines, and every lady who is the happy
pos>essor OF one may rest assured she has
indeed a treasure.
All who send for the company's new
illustrated catalogue and inclose their ad-
vertisen,cnt (printcd on another pagc) will

Tremendous Ovation.

AT Chicago, on the 18TH inst, Archbishop
Feehan returned from his visit to Pope
Leo, arriving on special train. lie was
welcomed at the depot by Mayor Harrison
and special representatives Of the Catholic
bodies and escorted to the Episcopal Palace
BY procession numbering ten thousand,
composed of Catholics. Notwithstanding
inclement weather and the exceedingly
sloppy streets, over one hundred thousand
people congregated along the three mile
line of march to witness the parade. With
the exception Of General Grants welcome,
the days ovation exceeded anything of the
kind ever witnessed in Chicago

says the delegates to the Farmers Re.

OF the gricveance under which the reople
are suffering received no attention. They
report that nothing will be conceded by
the government. The people there are
greatly ncens ID at the governments t.
ion and many advocate open rebellion.
The council of the Farmers Union has
called a convention to meet March sth at
which the whole Northwest will be repre-.

council in the circular saws: 1--WE have
now arrived at grave crisis in the history
OF our province where every interest is Vi.
tally concerned, and laying aside all party
political feelings let us as Manitobians con-
tinue to obtain just rights and unite as one
man to receive them" A feeling of in.
tense Indignation at the Dominion Govern.
ment's action is expressed or all sides, and
should further appeals prove truitiess as
were those Of the farmers delegates it is
impossible to say to what extreme meas.
nres the people will be driven to enforce
justice from a tyranncal government. A
revolutionary spirit is spreading among the
people and probably will not stop short of
secession from the Dominion Confeeler.

The SHARON DIVORCE CAsE.-At San
Francisco yesterday the court room during
the trial of the Sharon-Hill case was the
scene of great commotion. Mrs. Shawan,
witness for the defence, was on the stand.
Judge Tyler, attorney for Miss Hill, was
subjecting the witness to q severe cross ex-
animation. He said he proposed to show
that the witness had dined at disreputable
places and visited an assignation house
with strange men. Mrs Shawan manifested
intense excitement, and hurriedly put her
hand into her pocket as if to draw re.
volver. She was checked, however, by the
counsel for the defence, who impored her
TO keep cool. During the excitement which
prevailed, McCune Shawan, man of about
twenty-five years of age and son of the wit
ness, approached Judge Tyler, but was
stopped by the latter's son, who threatened
10 shoot him down if he attempted to draw
a pistol. Judge Sullivan ordered that the
witness and her son be removed from the
court, and Immediately afterward declared
a recess At the opening of the afternoon
session the judge refused to hear further
testimony in the case until assured that ev-
cry one in the court room was unarmed,
and would present certificate to the po
licemen at the entrance door to that effect.

1t is certainly disheartening to the lovers

who desire to see her prosper, to witness, as
may be done, daily and bouriy, the long
line of shoppers, coming from boat and train
with bundles and baskets in their arms, con.
tanning goods which no doubt they have
paid well for. How can our retail mer-
chants and shop keepers 'bope to make
buckle and tongue meet" if this suicidal
policy is not stopped? Why do our "lords
of creation permit their wives to do this?
Perhaps the grey mare is the better horse"
