THE NEwsPAPRKs or THE NATIoS.-Mr
John L. Weber sailed on the Iroquois yes
terday for New York, on his way to De-
troit to attend the meeting of the National
Editorial Association, which will be held in
that city on August 27-30.- An invitation
will be extended to the Association. to meet
in Charleston next Spring, and there is
every reason to believe that it will be &C
cepted. 1t is expected that over 500 editors
will be present at the Detroit meeting. Mr.
Weber goes as q delegate from the South
Carolina Press Association, and also as one
of the two representatives of the Southern

Canada and the New England States.-News
and Courier, 24h.
In connection with the above we read
among the lady passengers of the 1roquois,
the names of Mrs. j. l.. Weber, and her
sister, Miss Octie Young, of this place. We
hope those ladies will accompany Mr.. Weber
to Detroit, rs q trip up Lake Erie to that
beautiful City will give them bird s1eye
view Of some Of the finest cities and grand
est scenery Of the great N North-west.

Ye mothers and fathers Of the land, with

Think seriously for while, and see II
there are not many vanities, TO which you

them; set the example, and your offspring
will naturally follow in your footprints.

wheel Of time, would you have your sons
follow you in these vicious pathways? II
not use the intelligence that God has given

The Sabbath Day.

The Sabbath Day.
We have received from highly respected
friend, lengthy but well written communi-
cation on the desecratien of the Sabbath in
this town, but have only room this week for
the following extract. The communication
will appear in full next week:
"Now, Mr.. Editor, in face Of oil these
facts in face Of these laws Of God and man,
there are men in this good old town Of
Union, who are violating this holy command
of God, and the law Of the State, every Sab

The witnesses arc living who say that on
last Sunday the hum of the milk shaker de-
clared the fact that the sheep and cattle Of
the Amalekites were not all sacrificed on the
field of battle; and that at the approach of
evening shades the blaze Of the lamps and
the significant click Of glasses across the
counter told the tale that, like Nadab and
Abihu, men will still handle strong fire,
even on the holy Sabbath.
Yet, Mr.. Editor, we live under the shad-
ows of four white and three colored churches,
and under the administration Of Town
Council that, we are told, cannot be defeated

Writ Of Habeas Corpus.

Judge Wallace was engaged last Tuesday
afternoon in hearing applications for bail on
,crits of habeas corpus in two cases Of homi-
eide from Columbia.
The case of w. d. Kelly, white, for the
killing Of George Bateman, colored, in Co
,lumbia, sometime ago, who was tried, but
~ Jury failed to agree, and the application
was made for bail; Judge s. w. Melton
representing the defense, and Solicitor p.
II. Nelson representing the State.
The afidavits used in the case were pretty
much the same rs those used etthe trial.
Solicitor Nelson resisted the motion for
bail, on the ground that, under the provision
of the Constitution, where the presumption
is great that the killing was murder, bail
shall not be granted, and rs the Jury failed
to agree, as in this case, the presumption was
great.
After argument Judge Wallace took the
case under adviscment.
The other case was that of w. 3. Meet1e,
for the killing Of James 1. Clark, on the
Sd of August, in Columbia, for alleged i'm
proper advancements towards Meetze's wife.
Several affidavits were submitted as to the
conduct of Clark towards Mrs. Meetze, and
as to the character Of Clark and the fatal en-
counter
Judge Wallace reserved his decision in
this case also.
Judge Melton stated that his reason for max
ing application to Judge Wallace was because
Judge Kershaw was absent from the State,
Judge Fraser was a. Glenn Springs, and
Judge Witherspoon away absent from home,
made it more convenient to apply to Judge
Wallace.
