The Cotton Weighers' Case.

The case aeainst Mr. R P Monaghan for
weighing cotton, Which Was brought for The
purpose Of testing the legality OF the election OF
the public weiehers, has been dropped by mu-
iual consent and the matter DOW stands ex-
actlv as before the case WAS brought.
The preliminary hearing WAS had before
Magistrate Wells aud he decided that he had
power 10 go into The qnestion Of the legality
of the elaction Of ,he public weighers, and
a hearing on the merits OF the case was liked
for Moncay. But in Consequence o! the
agreement the hearing WAS abandoned.
1t is probable tina. another effort will be
made to set aside the election OF the public
weighers. but the contemplated case will be
brough. under civil process and will be
beard by Judge Buchanan.
The chief reason for the abandonment OF
the csse against Mr. Monaghan was the elsc
ton oy the Board Of Couorr Commissioners,
on Saturday, of Mr.. J. c Dinkios as third
public cotton weigher for this city. The Pc
titiou on which he was elected contained the
names of y number of cotton-growing free
b lders of Sumter township who bad not
signed previous petitions, aod this fact, taken
in connection with the action of the Board IN
electiug third welgher tended to GUILTY. the
grounds on which the original test case was
brought.
The public weighers will Continue weigh
ing all cotton sold on this market. and any
person weighing cotton is liaole to hne OF
So to $40 for each and every ofense.

Observe bow the truthful Herald quotes.
The half Of sentence is taken TO bolster up
it's attempt to make out a case. Deliberate
garbling of a plain and unequivocal state
ment is the most malicious species Of un-
truthfuloess, and the Herald must scknowl
edge either to the ownership of a very thick
skull, or an intention to garble The Item S
statement.
The facts concerning the election returns
are as follows: The Item made arrangements
several days previous to the election to obtain
returns. and that night, returns from twenty
one boxes were sent or brought lr for that
paper Some of these returns were given
first to the Messrs. knight and Eberbart, as
no representative of THE Item happened to be

that it made no difference if one bule-
tin got the figures few minutes before An.
other. Messrs knight Eberhart receiv

orien that Messrs Knight h Eberhart had no
means of obtaining, as the returns came direcl
to this Office by telegraph or in sealed envel-
opes And al of these returns TO which
they conld obtain access were copied from
The Items tabulaiion and transferred 10 the
bulletin Of the Messrs. Knight.
