Verdict Was Reached In Nineteen
Minutes

GREENvILLE, April 2S.-When the
the district attorney announced that
the government had closed its ease
against the citizens Of Mccormick, who
were under Indictment for conspiracy.
The defense examined half dozen
witnesses and one of the defendants
among them, Mr.. Dunlap, who testified
in regard to the interview at TOlbert's
house when he and others gave assur-
ance to TOlbert that he would be pro-
tected at Mccormick for reasonable
time, but that they feared violence
from men who might come from other
communities. Some of the witnesses
flatly cOntradicted Tolbert's evidence
on several points. The district attOr-
ney raised the question as to the con-
spiracy relating to TOlbcrt as a gov
ernment Ofh> III or as an individual and
said he would withdraw the prosccu-
ton if the court would hold that he
was not involved as M official. Judge
Brawley said that the jury must deter
mine tho matter on the evidence and
it was not for him to decide. An effort
to agree upon the time to be consumed
i'll the argument resulted finally iii a
conclusion to submit the case to the
jury without argument. Judge Braw-
ley's charge occupied half an hour in
which he made general remarks upon
the duty of the jurics to maintain the
law and punish the guilty regardless
of all considerations other than the
evidence.
The jury retired at 1880 and after an
absence of nineteen minutes returned
with verdict Of not guilty. The de-
PENDANTS were discharged from custody
and received warm congratulations of
their friends OH all sides. The verdict
was fOregone conclusion, as the gov
ernment utterly failed to connect the
defendants with the conspiracy charged
in the indictment.-Colambin bin State.

OUR MILITARY STRENGTH.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The militant energy displayed by the
United States In the war with spain has
placed us in a new relation to Europe.
The collision with one of the European
continental countries, though with one
OF the weakest Of them, has dispelled the
illusion that probably the most of those
countries entertained, that we would go
TO the verge Of national humiliation
rather than try armed conclusions with
n foreign foe. The proposition that We
would go to war and incur its RESPONSE
bilities TO free Cuba was received by Eu-
rope with incredulity. To pacify Crete
1t required the concerted action OF the
most powerful European nations. That
the United States should undertake a
somewhat similar mission in Cuba with
out seeking the aid OF any other power
in so difficult a task was against Euro
pean practice and traditions in such
cases, The unsympathetic and OCCASION
ally hostile tone of many Journals in
France, Germany and Russia reflected
the hope of the governing classes of the
continent that We would quickly fail in

The Cuban Insurgent Army.

Rejecting, we trust the views of the
administration, the Philadelphia Press
takes a positive position in favor of
paying off and disbanding the Cuban
insurgent army The disbandment of
that army is an obvious necessity.
There cannot we'll be two sovereignties
or two sets of uniforms in Cuba, nor
can the pacification of the isle be
furthered while a large percentage of
its adult male population is in arms,
not for the United States, which is for
the present the only legally responsible
governing force, but for a shadowy
government of revolutionists without
a footing in international law.
But how shall this disbandment be
brought about? The men are in rags.
For three years they have wandered in
the bush. Most of them have neither
homes nor the means to provide homes
They cannot be turned adrift without
opening wide doors to lawlessness and
anarchy. The idea of the Philadelphia
Press, and it is a good and just one, is
that the United States, as in a sense
the receiver and trustee of Cuba,
Ought to meet the spirit and purpose
of the Cuban army and it's command
ers more than halfway. Our govern
ment can afford to be both Just and
generous These men, but for whom
Cuba would not be free, face the new
future of Cuba penniless, without food
or clothing and no prospect of any.
The sad plight in which the soldiers
of our own Revolution tramped home,
when the line of each state was dis
banded, has been for a century n ma
tiOnal scandal. Those men sacrificed
all for liberty, and were in return sac
riiiced. This scandal should not be re-
peated. This country believes, has be-
lieved and will believe to the end that
the services of men who peril life for
liberty are not to be measured by the
cold letter of contracts, pay-rolls and
legal obligations.
The Cuban army should be paid off
on a lump-sum basis by the United
States. Each officer and man should
receive a sum, not large, but propor-
toned to his service, which would give
him time and means to start his life
anew. In Cuba but a very little would
put each tattered private in the ranks
which so long faced a powerful foe in
the way of getting a little patch of
land, clearing it, putting a hut on it
and beginning its cultivation. Those
not from plantations or higher in rank,
with a modest sum would be able to
find employment, buy tools, open a
business or enter on some occupation.
The total expenditure needed would be
small-not over 100000; probably less
than 81 100000. If resistance or dis
quiet were to require the presence in
Cuba of a single additional brigade, it
would cost SS,OOO,OO0 to maintain it for
year. Justice, generosity a wise
economy and due respect as wise for
the defenders of liberty urge the adop-
tion of this policy"
There would be reasonable objection
to this programme if It were contem-
plated to pay this sum out Of our own
national pockets. But when it can be
paid as a loan, to be repaid as we shall
see fit from the current revenues of
Cuba, no tenabls ground for opposition
is left.
