few minutes. to carbonize the other
side. Now it should be exposed to a
slower fire on which. place two bricks
on their edges. and Test the gridiron on
them. The steak should be turned re-

Samuel j. Tilden was delegate to the infa-
nous Tweedlo Hall Convention in Albany in
February, 1861, which met to intimidate the
people of the State from organizing to save the
Union. That assemblage was more reasonable
than the Hartford Convention. On that occas-
ion, Tilden declared "that he for one would re-
sist under any and all circumstances the use of
force to coerce the South into the Union" What
a fine specimen of patriot Tilden was in those
dark days of the country.

One of the citizens of Danbury who
had Just returned from the West was
telling Of narrow escape he had from a
terrible death. He was. crossing long
railroad bridge on foot when he was sur
prised to see locomotive coming around
u curve and tearing toward him at a ter
rife speed. The bridge was too narrow
to allow of escape at either side and he
did not dare to jump into the yawning
abyss below. In flash he took in the
situation and formed his plan of action.
He started on a swift run toward the on
coming locomotive, and when within q
few feet of it lie concentrated all his
nerve and muscle into one effort and
lcaped straight up into the air. The
fearful monster shot under him, and he
came down ON the bridge, saved from
death, but seriously shaken by the de-
scent. There was moment Of deep
silence upon the close Of this narration.
Then one of the company sighed, and
shut up his knife, and Unexpectedly said {:

This beautiful aud fertile valley is
situated about eleven miles back Of New


Tacoma. AS we reached the brow of a
long, winding hill, which commanded a
view of this lovely place, we paused I;
charmed with the iieanty Of tho scnnnry
before US. A bold, sweeping outline of
distant hills, here and there swelling
into mountains, and crowned with
deeper, mister blue, divided the rich
green of the earth from the azure of the
heavens Far as the eye could reach it
lehell the widest luXuriance Of nature,
refined and subdued by the hand of cul-
tivation and taste. The farmers have
turned their attention principally to the
cultivation of hops for the last few years.
We can not think OF any thing more
beautiufthan those immense Hop Yards
are, just before they commence the pick
ing. Last season there was between five
and six hundred Cinnamon and Indians
employed in gathering in the harvest


Owing to the low figures that hops are
selling for, some have invested in hun
dreds of plum trees expecting in few
years to see them paying from two dol
lars to two tifty per tree, as they intend
to turn their attention to drying them
Tor the market. This Spring road was
surveyed through the valley, and the
prospect of having railroad built as far
as the coal mines. this Summer, is very
encouraging. When we were there last,
the Surveyor General had completed his
task, and men and implimcnts had ar
rived for the purpose of commencing
work out at the coal mines Coal in
great quantities has been discovered in
that section Of the country. 1t has been
tested, and pronounced superior quail
ity by competent judges. The timber in
the valley is hard wood chiefly; the soil
rich, and very productive, grain, vegeta-
bles and small fruits. have been success
fully cultivated. II they succeed in get
ting u railroad this Summer we think
the valley will improve very rapidly.
The people as ciasa, are well educated
and industrious. There are five schools
in the valley, and We believe they arc all
well supported. At the Lyceum they
have q small but well selected Library


They have also quite q collection Of

The REPUBLICAN, of August and 10 con-
tanned accounts of the killing OF Carl
Schneider by F. r. King. He was said to
have been shot from behind with double
barrel shotgun, and his slayer was still at
large. Sheriff Lyons, in a communication
to the REPUBLICAN, denied that he had told
him to keep out of the way, and in another
of the same date, August Z, Mr.. Liggins, OF
the Republican parish committee, denied
that there was any political significance in
the killing, and stated that Mr.. King was a
man of very just and liberal ideas.


The following from the Louisiana Sugar
Boul of August IL details the subsequent
proceedings:


We learn that Captain F. r. Kings pre-
liminary examination terminated by his be-
ing sent to Jail, without benefit Of bail, to
await trial before the District Court in Oc-
tober. This goes hard with Captain King,
but there can be no doubt he will be ac-
quilted when all the testimony in the case
is heard. which could not be in prelim-
iMary examination. Only such evidence
as had reference to the mere killing was ad-
mitted; hence the unexpected result. AS
the Jail in Abbeville was unfit to contine
him, he was sent to the Franklin jail, but
while en- route was granted bail at Morgan
City, by Judge Train, and returned home.

IL appears mat quite number OF
the citizens of Greenvi!le, Oconee and
Pickens Counties, have been sent to
Charleston, to be tried in the United
States Circuit Court, (now in session
lhere) for violations Of the Internal
Revenue laws.


The United States District Court
has jurisdiction of all matters invol-
wing violations # the Revenue Laws
and we we're not aware that the Cir
cult Court had concurrent jurisdic-
ton. The judiciary net of the United
States, provides that an annual ses-
sion of the District Court, for South
Carolina, shall be held in Greenville,
in August, and it was evidently cons
templated that all offences arising in
this part of the State should be tried
in that Court. 1t is a maxim, as old
as the common law, that every citi-
zen accused Of crime shall have fair
trial by jury of the vIoINAaE; and by
the statute law of this State citizen
accused of crime must be tried in the
county where the crime is alledged
to have been committed, unless for
good cause shown, the venue is chang
ed. The reason for this is Obvious
The accused has a right to make his
defence; and, except in felonies, he
must procure his Witnesses at his own
expense. 1t would be practical de
nial Of this right If the accused was
dragged clear across the State for
trial; for, although he might have a
good defense, he perhaps would not
be able to carry his witnesses with
him. And especially is this true in
the United States Courts, where the
accused cannot testify in his own be-
half. Then, even if the Circuit Court
has concurrent jurisdiction, should
these men not be tried in Greenville2
If they were unable to give bail, it
might be said that it was done to
give them speedy trial; but large
number of them were able to give
bail, and they also have to 60 to
Charleston.


Most of these mon are poor; they
unable to carry their witnesses with
them. BY tho law governing the
court in which they are tried, their
own months are scaled; and honce,
guilty or innocent, their conviction is
certainty. Is this justice2 Is it
law? We do not know who is re-
sponsible tor this move. nor do we
know by what right it is dono. We
propose, however, to look into the
matter, both as to tho law and the
facts, and perhaps shall have some
thing further to say at an early day
