The Fairtleld Regulafors.

CHARnRsToN, Decmber, THE repor-
TED whipping of white man named
Thomas III. Davis by the regulators in
Fairfield County has been confirmed.
DAVIS was warned to leave the County
last Summer for living with o colored wo-
man but he returned fortnight ago.
Davis Is well connected and is man of
property but his mesallance has existed
for years.
While we deplore crimes Of this nature
yet we think the law should infiict the
punishment for the commission of them,
and in no instance should band of citi-
zens, either good, bad or indifferent,
white, black or mixed usurp the powers
OF the courts. AS there is Statute
against miscegenation, the judiciary of
this State is able and pure, and the jury
Is impartial and Intelligent, there is no
Justification for the citizens of Fairfield
County to administer justice outside the
courts. If Davis's "Mesalliance" dates
back of the enactment of this statue and
his sin cannot be punished under it, then
let him go and be numbered with tue
race with which he has affiliated.
Old Edgefeld, much abused as she
has been by some Of the newspapers, has
set M example i'll bringing the lynchera
to trial, which Fairfield might follow in
dealing out justice to her regulators.

The South Carolina Bar Association
met i'll Columbia on the 9th instant
The objects Of the Association are "tc
maintain the honor, dignity and courtesy
Of the profession of the law, to advance
tho science of jurisprudence, to promote
the due administration of Justice and re-
forms in the law, to encourage liberal
education for the bar, and to cultivate
cordial intercourse among the members
OF the South Carolina Bar"
Judge Dillon, of New York, addressed
the Association on the subject of Gamer
lean Jurisprudence" and dwelt on the
need of simplifying the American Law,
and favored "a system. of thorough and
clear codiflcation." The lawyers heartily
endorse his suggestions, and doubtless,
do many who are not engaged in the
practice of this profession.

PHrEADELpHIA, Dec. 9.-Bolivar,
the largest elophantnow in captivity
on Monday afternoon had terrific
encounter with the Nubian lion,
Prince, ut the winter quarters of
Forepaugh's menagerie, and the lion,
which was valued at two thousand
dollars, was killed The trainer had
entered the cage with the beast, and
Prince, who was in a surlv mood,
attacked him. In endeavoring to
escape the trainer loosened the bars
of the cage and fell out. The lion
bounded out after him, clearing his
body rs it lay on the tan covered
ground. He did not turn back, how
ever, but pursued his way through
the ring barn and entered the open
door of the elephant house. Bolivar
stood where he was chained to a
stake near the door. The lion at.
tackled him and an encounter ensued,
which ended in the lion being crush
ed to death.

Striking Coal Miners.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1.-The striking
coal miners who started out from Macoupin
county, Ills, and have since held series
of meetings in Madison and st. Clair coun-
ties with view to inducing the miners in
those counties to join them, returned to Col
linsville yesterday and held large and per.
haps final meeting. They claim that large
proportion OF the miners in what is known
as the Bellevile district, have joined them.
At all events nearly all the mines in that dis
trict are closed, and but very small amount
of coal is being dug at present. The strike
is for an advance of wages, the use of closer
screens, sc. Some of the mine owners are
understood to be in favor of the advance,
bnt the men refuse 10 resume work until all
the operators accede to their terms. 1t ia
estimated that from seven to eight thousand
coal miners are now either idle or on q
strike in the State of Illinois.

Continued War Preparations.

LONDON, May 1.-The Admiralty's ar

patch of Is, 900 troops to India, if needed.
The government has ordered the governors
of naval stations on the Mediterranean to
send reports of what stores are needed and
they will be Immediately supplied. The
government continues to engage fresh srti-
sans to push the work at the dock yards
Russian papers continue to repudiate the
idea of submitting the Penjdeh affair 70 an
enquiry or of referring the dispute to arbi.
tratiou.
The London Standard says: Whether the
reply of Russia be pacific or not it must be
borne in mind that the struggle of Russia
and England for supremacy in Asia has be-
gun. The Orieutals have keen eyes and
judge a great deal by appearances. The
struggle is not one of frontiers or of fine
points, but of international morality. 1t is
competition for influence, credit and pres
tige and the side that sacrifices its prestige
throws away wantonly the weapon that in
Asatic warfare is found to be OF keenest
edge and most trusty temper"

Crop Prospects.

CHICAGO, May 2.-The Times summarizes
its special advices from the spring wheat
belts of the West and Northwest this morn
ing as follows: The area sown to the cereal
shows considerably less than that reported
last year. Rumors of an impending Euro
ropean war came too late for farmers to pre-
pare their ground for larger crops. The
seeding in the Red River Valley is ten days
earlier than at this time last year, and the
acreage has been largely increased, owing,
it is said, to the development of the country
and the bountiful yields harvested in past
years In Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin unreasonable weather has retard.
ed farm work. The acreage of spring wheat
in these states will suffer decrease Of fully
Is per cent, and in some counties seed al
ready planted will have to be plowed up,
water from swollen streams having soaked
into the ground and destroyed the germ.
