CHARLESTON FOR CUBA.
Captain Hughes Of the Steamer Lorada
Promptly Acquitted.


CHARLESTON, Jan. 2S.-The patriots
of Cuba are not friendless in Charles
ton. Indeed. considering the fact
that Captain Hughes was acquitted or
the first ballot by the jury today, SEN
timent may te considered strongly in
their favor. Capt. Samuel Hughes,
master of the steamship Laurada, was
charged with violating the neutrality
laws of the United States in shipping
men and arms to aid the insurgents.
The trial was in the United States dis
tricr court, Judge Brawley presiding.
The courtroom was packed with spec
tators throughout the day, and the
keenest interest was manifested in the
result of the trial.
Mr.. P. z. Bryan, for the defense,
took these legal positions in his argu'
ment:
First-It was no offence against the
neutrality laws of the United States
for a person to go abroad to enlist in
foreign army.
Second-It was no offence against
the neutrality laws of the United
States for master of an American
ship to carry as passengers such per
sons going abroad to enlist in for
eign army and to land them in for
eign country.
Third That it is no offence against
the neutrality laws of the United
States to sell, ship and carry by a shiE
to a foreign country, amunitions and
munitions of war, intended to be used
in a foreign war.
Fourth-AThat it is no offence against
the neutrality laws of the United States
to carry abroad on the same ship with
volunteers, intending to enlist, muni'
tons of war intended to be used In
foreign armies.
Fifth That while under interna.
tiona lava belligerent foreign power
might capture abroad such munitions
of war and such volunteers intended
to be used against it, still the acts Of
carving abroad and landing such
volunteers in a foreign country were
not offences against the neutrality
laws of the United States, but were
lawful commerce under such laws,
and that it is only of such acts that
there is any evidence at all in this case.
Sixth-That the only offence that
the United States statutes denounces
is carrying abroad a military expedi'
tion-an organized military body,
either cavalry, infantry or artillery,
oficered and equipped-and that nc
such acts have been provenin this case.
Mr.. Bryan elaborated these legal po,
sitions at length, citing in their sup
port many and recent decisions of the
highest court of the United States, and
also referring to many authorities on
international law and State papers.
This concluded his argument on the
law.
Ex-senator M. @. Butler, in his ar
gument for the defence, made a like
speech.
The attorneys for the prosecution
laid their case on the evidence of their
witnesses.
District Attorney Murphy appeared
for the government.
Judge Brawley's charge to the jury
was on the law in the case, and was
very clear.
The verdict of not guilty was reach
ed in twenty minutes.-State.

1883.
Mr.. E6rd moved to reconsider the
vote by which this bill passed the SEN
ate on previous day. which was car
ried. He then moved 10 amend so
much of the printed bill as referred to
towns and cities of 5000, so as to
make the bill apply to towns aud cities
of 0,000 of more inhabitants.
Mr.. Buist of Charleston did not see
why any provisions or requirements
of the bill should apply to towns and
cities which did not also extend and
apply to country precincts.
Mr.. Efrd contended that it was not
unjust discrimination, and explained
the situation by showing how the will
of the resident voters in large towns
and cities might be defeated by the
large floating population of voters. In
the case of country precincts, he main
tanned that most of the voters were
resident voters.
The following having passed both
houses, was ordered to be engrossed
for ratification: A bill (House) TO
amend sections II, Is and II of an
Act entitled can Act to provide a sys-
tenn of county government for the
several counties of the State, being
sections 652, 656 and 658 RESP ectively
Of Volume 1, Revised Statutes of this

ton of towns of one thousand inhabi'
tants and more.

of towns of less than one thousand

Mr.. Speaker, we know of no custom

MIR. Weston, one of the younger

it hardly necessary in body of South
Carolinians to add one word to what

But as representative of one of the
young men of the House who had nc
part in the war, he wished to add his
endorsement of what has been said.

ASTONISHING"
Attempt of the Democrat to Sub
stantiate a Forgery.

Not the Same as Used by Bob
Smith In His Speech Here.

that the Article Read by Smith Is q
Forgery.

AS predicted i'm these columns last
week our contemporary made an
attempt to prove that the alleged
clipping from the London Financial
News read by Candidate X. B. Smith
i'm his Lewistown speech was not a
forgery, as alleged, but i'm the attempt
was driven to miserable subter.
fuge.
They first quoted from the New
York World to prove that the article
referred to did not appear i'm the
issue of March 10th last. as alleged
by Mr.. Smith; having THIS proved
our case as to dates, they proceeded
to quote an article which the World
claims to have reproduced from the
London Financial News of April
3Oth, 1894, over two and one-hali
years ago. The article quoted by
them has not before been introduced
in this campaign and is not the same
as read by Mr.. Smith i'm his Lewis
town speech. The editor of the Dem
ocrat knew this when he printed il
and admitted it to the writer subse.
quent to the last issue of the Demo
crat-knew that the article published
by him was not identical with that
used by Candidate Smith and that
he could furnish no proof of the lat
ter ever having appeared.
The ARGUS does not claim that the
article which appeared i'm last weeks
Democrat is a forgery-it may or il
may not he, we know nothing OF it
but we do know that not one phras'
upon which Mr.. Smith laid SO mucl
emphasis, appears i'm the article pub
lished. Our notes on the speecl
were very complete and IA carefu
comparison fails to reveal and like
ness, either in wording or tenor.

Senator Vest has told his colleagues in

conflict between bimetallism and the god
standard is irrepressible." He deliberate
ly misrepresents the facts in making this
statement. There is TO such conflict.
The conflict now on, and in which Vest
Is engaged onShe wrong side, is between
bimetallism and a monometallic silver
standard. We already have b~imetallism,
the amount Of silver coin being greater
than that of the gold coin, while the
silver or certificates against It circulate
in the hands of the people far more than
gold does. What Vest aid the other
