Went to Jail to Spoil a Job.

One of the strangest of the many
strange cases that come before the United
states court here was disposed OF at the
! kecsnt term. Well known gentlemen
: 8$ouch for the facts as here given. Sever
i 5liaesths ago white youth in the upper
section of this County was sent by his
aunt. who lives near him and was sick,
to buy small quantity of whisky for
her. He got the liquor, and on his way
back home he stopped at the house
of his uncle and told his errand. The
uncIe asked for drink of the whiskey
and was refused, but at last offer
ed to pay 10 cents for the dram, ar
euing that the boys's aunt would have
enough liouour left for her needs and
would be glad to have the money. The
szottars was accepted and some time later
the uncle lodged information against his
nephew, charging him with being 8
retail lieuor dealer without having paid
the special tax. The nephew was arrest
ed and bound over and the uncle and his
two sons were summoned as witnesses.
Tho prisoner understood that the case
was 8 aput up Job" to give his relatives
the opportunity to spend several weeks
here as witnesses at q dollar and half a

he would let them profit by the transac-
ton. He therefore advanced to the bar
on the second day of the term and plead
ed guilty, although he knew he had a
perfect defense and was 80 assured. Ihe
witnesses were therefore dismissed With
yery small tickets. The Judge was
informed OF the circumstances and made
the sentence very light. The prosecutors

The Trial Justices.

Much has been said of late by various
newspapers of the State in reference to
our Trial Justices, and their ineihclency.
We think one radical and vital error lies
in the fact that Trial Justices fees may
be affected by his decisions. We believe
that it takes high order of man to hold
the scales in exact equipois when his own
interests are affected. No one would
think of making Circuit or Supreme
Judges fees contingent upon the decis'
ions he might render. A trial justice is
a judicial officer, and should be governed
by the same intelligent sense of justice
that controls the higher officer, and the
temptation to do a doubtful act should
be removed. He should be salar!ed
officer, and thus placed in a position
where he would have no interest in using
his Office as an engine of oppression in
sending trivial cases up to the higher
court, and binding over an army
of witnesses who may fail to make out a
case even before the Grand Jury.
A small salary to the Trial Justice
would, in our opinion, save the County
thousands of dollars in the way of Court
expenses. Many trifing cases might
never get into Court if the work OF
Issuing writs and the binding over OF
witnesses to Court was not a source OF
profit to somebody.
Pay the Trial Justice a small salary.
The present system of Offering premium
for the number Of cases sent up is all
wrong, and detracts from the dignity OF
the office.-Abbeuilc Press and Banner.

Was He Raised from the Deads

TOLEDO, September ia remark
able story comes from Monclova, this
County. 1t is, in substance, that about
13 years ago, Thomas Habbell, then q
prosperous farmer, died and was buried
in the village graveyard. He left wife
who has since married and an estate
which was divided among eight children.
Hubbell was nearly forgotten, when
few years ago the wife received letter
from Michigan asylum signed in the
dead mans name, but no notice was
taken, friends supposing it was a freak of
8 lunatic. This week another letter was
received, and to quiet suspicious of doubt
the grave was opened. when, to the sur.
prise of all, the casket was there, but
empty. 1t has caused great excitement.
Since then brothers of Hubbell have
been following up the clew in Michigan,
and now believe the solution of the
mystery is that when Hubbell was buried
the body was stolen by robbers for the
Ann Arbor Medical College. 1t is sup.
posed that life returned On the dissecting
table. Hubbell had been afflicted with
q disease of the head. The terrible
shock awoke him, and proving to be a
lunatic, he was placed in an asylum.
The return of the brothers from their in.
vestigation is eagerly watched for.
The affair has created profound sen.
sation hereabouts.

Tile New England Veterans.

WINCHESTER, VA, September 2l.--
Cedar Creek battle6elds were visited by
the New England veterans to-day, where
they dedicated monument to commem-
crate the valor of the 9th Vermont Vol
unteers. The speech of presentation
was made by the donor Of the monument,
Col. Herbert e. Hill, of Boston. An
address accepting it was made by Capt.
S. E. Howard, of Boston, who was twice
wounded at Cedar Greek. The Grafton
was by Gen. Stephen Thomas, Of Yer
mont. Other addresses we're made by
Lieut.. Dutton, now of Gainesville, Fla,
Capt. NJ. NJ. MacFarland and G. w.
Grout, of Vermont.
The veterans returned to camp this
evening. Thousands we're gathered
there listening to farewell speeches.
Massachusetts is celebrating, and the
display of fireworks is the grandest ever
witnessed here. Goodbye calls are
being made from tent to tent, and fra
ernal expressions are heard on all sides
rom those who have become acquainted
the past week. Tomorrow morning
he veterans will start for the North,
topping in Washington twenty, -four
hours to pay their respects to the Presi-
dent and to visit various points of inter-
est in the Capital city.

The Citadel Academy.

The board of visitors of the State Mil.
itary Academy remained in session in
the Adjutant-General's Office until l
O'Clock this morning, passing upon ap-
plications for appointment to beneficiary
cadetships AS to this the only informa-
tion given out is that there were eighty
applicants to fill the sixteen vacancies,
an evidence that the Citadel still attracts
students strongly. The applications fer
admission received up to date are more
numerous than they we're at the same
time last year, although pay cadets usual.
ly wait until the last week or two before
applying.
This morning the board looked into
the qualifications of the gentlemen ap-
plying for or recommended for the super.
intendency of the Citadel, and as result
Gen. George D. Johnston, of Alabama,
was elected superintendent.
Gen. Johnston was q gallant soldier
and Brigadier- General in the corps of
Gen. Stephen D. Lee anu for long time
commandant of the cadets of the Ala.
bama University, who, it will be remem-
bered, recently took the first prize at the
competitive drill in New Orleans.
None of the members of the board
know Gen. Johnston personally, nor can
I obtain kere any particulars of his life.
Adjt.- Gen. Manigault knew him during
the war as an excellent officer, and thinks
that he is little over fifty years old.
Members of the board say that they we're
guided solely by the strength of Gen.
Johnston's endorsements. Stronger tes-
timonials they never saw. The qualifi::
cations of half dozen gentlemen were
discussed. The war records of some
were more prominent and they themselves
were better known, but they were gov
erned by the weight of testimony as to
capacity and general fitness.
The letters from which extracts have
been taken were very full and enumerat-
ed in detail his qualifications, among
which are fine address and presence, an
excellent manner, broad knowledge of
affairs, and great tact and judgment. He
was first recommended by Gen. Stephen
D. Lee, and when approached expressed
his readiness to serve if elected. His
response this evening to telegram in
forming him of his election is business
like: "Telegram received. Many thanks.
Expect to reach Charleston on Saturday
night" After electing the superinten-
dent the board adjourned.
Chairman Hagood was instructed to
make temporary arrangements for filling
the PROFESSIONAL vacancy, caused by Gen.
Kemper's resignation, until the Novem.
ber meeting of the board, when his
successor will be Columbia Cor
rcspondence Ne,us and Courier.

Regulators In Fairfield.

For sometime past the papers have
made occasional reference to the doings
of bands of white regulators in Fairfield
County, this State; but their motives
were not fully understood until last week,
when thorough investigation was made
by representative of the Columbia
Record. From his report, it would seem
that miscegenation prevails to some
extent in that County, and it is the de-
termination of the regulators" to abol-
ish the practice in their midst.
The operations of the regulators date
as far back as last July, when some
young men visited a farm near Ridgeway,
where lived white family named Boyles,
and one of the daughters living openly
with negro man. Two others kept q
direputable house for negroes. The reg.
ulatols whipped Boyles, his wife and two
daughters, and warned them to leave the
County in ten days. Boyles begged to be
allowed to harvest his crop, and on &C.
count of his poverty he was given leave
to do so. But, in the meantime, the
original order being disobeyed, the regu-
lators gave the family another whipping.
Next the regulators visited parties be.
tween Ridgeway and Winnsboro and
whipped them badly. Tom Davis, who
had a negro mistress, was next visited.
he got away, but his household furniture
was badly broken up and his colored
family warned to leave. Tom Davis, the
richest merchant in Ridgeway, reported
to be worth $4,000, was given ten days
to quit the place because he had negro
mistress and family. He left his bust.
ness in the hands of his clerks and put
out for Mississippi. Ross Williams,
living on the other side of Ridgeway
with negro woman, was visited and
showed fight, but he was severely
whipped, as was his mistress, and ordered
to leave. About ten families, all mixed,
have felt the power of the regulators so
far. The reason the regulators give for
their action is that the Grand Jury don't
take cognizance of those living in open
adultery, because it is so hard to prove
the existence of such fact. These peo.
pie could not be reached by law, and so
il was determined to reach them outside
of the law. The chief offenders, whether
warned or not, are dissolving their estab.
lishments and leaving for fear of ex.
posuro and punishment. The regulators
disguise themselves while visiting by
covering their faces with cloths. No
weapons but hickory switches have been
used.

A Woman's Way.

The wind may howl, the thunder may
roar, death may come, but when woman

him or die in the attempt. The public
may brand him murderer, the court
may sentence him to death or to hard

but the woman who has give him her un'

while Sheriff King and his household
were sleeping the sleep of the just, sud-
denly there came a gentle tap, tap, on
the outer door. Was it ghost? No;
it was nymph. Miss Dora Evans had
fled from he1 home and had come 25
miles through the darkness and rain to
marry her lover, James Hunter. Sheriff
King, not knowing exactly what to do,
put her off till morning. Wednesday
morning promptly at o'clock James
Hunter and Dora Evans were made man
and wife. Rev. J. w. Mercy performed
the ceremony in the Jail hall, in the
presence of about 100 spectators-ofheers,
members of the bar, jurymen, white,
colored and Indifferent. Such is life.
The homicide occurred about year
ago. James Hunter and George W..
Evans had o difficulty several years
before, but they were apparently on good
terms with each other just previous to
the fatal encounter. On that day, how
ever, in consequence of an insulting re-
mark made by Hunter in allusion to
Eyans's wife, Evans knocked him down
and punished him. After being taken
|: off of him, and while Evans was leaving
the field, with his mothers arm around
him, as the witnesses for the State testi'
fed, Hunter ran up to Evans and dis.
charged the contents of his pistol into
his body, causing almost instant DEATH

A Substantial Transaction.

Negotiations were concluded recently
by which seven hundred shares of the
stock of the First National Bank of this
City, par value $500 per share, were
transferred to DR.. Andrew Simonds, the
President of the bank, for the sum OF
$l75,O0O or $3.50 per share. The stock
was purchased from Mr.. George w.
Williams, and the transaction closed at
the figures named. The First National
Bank was one of tie first banks organized
in the South under the national banking
system. 1t was organized by DIR. ST.
monds, its President, in 1865, and its
charter, therefore, expires in December
next. His present purchase gives D!.
Simonds the controlling interest in The
bank, his shares amounting now to
upwards of 1900, out of total of $500
shares. To Reporter, who called upon
him, DR.. Simonds said that while he was
not yet prepared to 80 into the details OF
the future operations of the bank, ne
had no hesitation in saying that the bank
would be continued right along without
any changes. Steps had been taken to
secure renewal of the charter and there
would be no interruption in the business
of the bank, which would be continued
right on under its present management;
Mr.. Geo. W. Williams was next called
upon. He said he had nothing to say,
except that the sale and transfer of the
stock had been made as reported. ne
said he had no doubt the bank would
continue right along. The negotiations
for the sale of the stock had been pending
some time, and he had offered either to
buy or to sell. DR.. Simonds concluded
to buy his shares and that was all there
was of it. "Does that let you out of the
bank entirely ?" inquired the Reporter;
"Oh, no." answered Mr.. Williams, Il
have few shares left. regard it as
good enough stock. I don't suppose
there will be any changes to speak Of in
the staff of the bank, although |, OF
course, know nothing definitely on the
subject" t."-Neaos and Courier.
