qroes came in the room, among them was George James. T he de.endant further swore he did not see James, nor any one else, take his book or money from the stove; that he did not know who got it, neither had he seen the book nor money since he laid it on the stove; stated that he had taken two drinks Of whiskey with Walter, Jones before the crowd came in; said he missed his book after the crowd came in and at once ne called the Marshal before any of the crowd left the room, to search them. R. E. Smith City Marshal testified that he was called and went at once in the room, and made deligent search on the person of each of the negroes, in- cluding George James and he did rot find either pocket book CT money.
 Then the negro Monroe Murdock testified he was in the crowd and saw the corner of a little red pocket book in George James hand, but positively said he did not see James get it from the stove; did not know where The got it nor whose it was, and he did not see what was in it or whether there was any thing in il or not; then Murdock stated that after that one cf the negroes cot ten dollars from James; also said James gave him ten dollars in silver. stating at the time he saw James get the money from his brother at the mill
 Now have given the substance of the testimony given in court to con meet James with the offence as the theft, as car be seen by the testimony below. So in conclusion will, say en- deavoring 10 fill and act in the capacity of an unbiased and unprsjudiced court, it was my candid judgement that the testimony failed 10 connect the defend art, George James, in any part unless it would be inc flimsy statement of the
  negro, Monroe Murdock, the claimed to- be accomplice, and he receiving sil- yer money and Walter Jones paying cut silver money 10 the Marshal and Abanathy losing all greenback bills

tough gang of law breakers and the handling of such people demand stringent means. Esq. Henderson car not deny that that the evidence showed theft was committed; that Mayor Jackson's and Marshal Smiths evidence when they told of each hzv- ing recovered a portion of the swas was such as to to strongly substantiate that of the other witness. Mon- roe Murdock whose evidence was pos tive (and unimpeached) that James was guilty. Inasmuch as there was abso. lutely NO EVIDENCE whatsoever to re but this strong line the writer is sill of the opinion that Esq. Henderson is deserving of severe censure for h.s decision which in itself is slap in Il c face of our officers who have been trying to clean out the old den ard it's gang of lawbreakers. Esq. Hender- son was not expected 10 pass firal judgment on the negro but it was his duty, from the evidence, to bind hin over to await the action of the Grand Jury, and that the ARGUS is correct in this, we are perfectly willing to leave it to our readers for final judge ment.

ln Justice Court Again.

A few weeks ago the AR GUS pubished an account of the trial of one George James. (CoD for robber- ry of one o. M. Abanathy white man in the old Kelly saloon stand. The trial was before Justice Henderson and and the ARGUS took occasions to criti- else Justice H. for having released James on the evidence brought out.
 Squire Henderson thinks the ARGUS did him an injustice, and in order that full justice may be done, and at Squire f7endersons request, that the public may judge for themselves, following an explanation given by Justice Henderson We give the evidence as brought out in the trial.

Janas was a strange negro to m9, and was charged with grand larceny, stealing a pocket book containing seven 5000 bill from one 0. M. Abanathy. On examination of the witnesses for the state, it de- ve!oped first from A5anathy himself that he laid his pocket book and mon ey in it On q stove, afterwards he missed it, but plainly swore no one was in the room, at the time but one Walter Jones and soon stranger came in the room awhile and then went out, then five or six other ne-

 Girls did you ever stop 10 think that the boys have more self respect than the members of your sexP There is not young man of any responsibility that would be seen with lady that was intoxicated. You might search the streets with fine tcoth comb and not find a young man who would lock arms and go promneading with lady who IS putting a cigar or squirting tooacco juice around on the sidewalk Some girls have no hesitancy in accepting the company ot such characters and too many of them are anxious for the conpanionship, heart and hand of everything that wears pants. Society will never be refined until the girls demand of the boys the same purity of caracter that the boys demand of the girls. Over the heads of the young ladies hang the possibilities of the greatest moral reform that ever swept over the country Columbia Banner

l. with pleasure that the ARGUS pu3..shes the above. We are glad to givs every person a fair and impartial l. h,aring and in the publication Of the entire evidence in the case and Esq. Henderson s presentation of the reason why he turned the negro loose, we are giving to every reader an opportunity to judge for themselves whether we were harsh and unkind in dencuncing Esq. Henderson's action in the mat ter.
 But for the fact that Esq. Hnder- son ia his remarks, has gone over the evidence and "touched it up to argue in justification of his verdict, the writer feels that it is no more than fair and right that he should call the readers attention to this touching 12 process of Esq. Henderson that they may be able to judge fairly. No tice the signed evidence of Monroe Murdock; then read Esq. Henderson Oil how HE handles Murdock $ testi- mony.
 In all candor, as much as we dis like to say it, Esq. Henderson has not made his case one whit better and just where he expects justification in this case we are at loss to see.
 The old dive has been a menace to the peace and safety of our commu- nifty for many months; it has harbored
