Ali hough politically opposed to tho

Hut* we owe it to our fellow citizen?, to
say right here that the municipal ad
ministration which at first promised so
well has been rapidly growing weaker
and weaker until it seems pnw to amount
to an absolute nop.entity. There doesn't
seem to bean inch of back bone iu the
'tthble Council. Not ono step havo they
taken thai has been characterized by
[la-i tasui ')i nJ i/Q> ''? ; ? ; . . ?
anything likq energy or independence.
Important enterprises have been
neglected, the afreets ere in a condition
that is positively disgraceful, and, in
fact, the'rV'is hardly anything in the
Town to show that we have a Council,

prosperous Town, for whoso interosts we
shall ever speak out boldly, without fear
and without favor.
Tho News cfc Conner is severe on
?'Lieut. Col. Merrill, tho South Caro
liua Ku Klux catcher," winding up its
bilious diatribe with the assertion that
"no other ;officer, of tho United States
army who has been stationed iu South
Carolina, Gen. Sickles not exocpted,
enjoys the unenviable reputation which
sticks to Col. Morrill."
Well, perhaps it was not in tho best
taste for an officer of the regular army
to accept 'extra pay for servicos which
under ordinary circumstances would
have beon nioro properly performed by
a United States Marshal and a liangman
?but if nny services cvor doservod pay,
nud good pay at that, they were pre
cisely those rendered by the "Ku Klux
catcher,". Col. Merrill.
And the less the New* tfc Courier or
any other Democratic, paper says about
the Ku Klux, In the way of apology or
excuse for that band of murderers, or of
condemnation of those who caught
them, tho better it will be for the honest,
men in this State of both parties. That
same damnablo KuKluxism has stood in
the way of reform long enough, and if
the Republicans can afford to forgot
their sufferings it is a dirty uud a bud
job for the News d; Courier to open
their wounds afresh.
We shall gladly weloonie all fair men
who accept the Republican faith (even
though some of them may prefer to
work under another name) in the effort
to bring about a better condition of
things in South Carolina. But that
detestable corpse Ku Kluxistn must be
kept quiet.
Better that the ship of State should
bo wrecked in mid-ocean than that she
should over be steered or manned by
any of those who have even the faintest
whisper to breathe in favor of tho Ku
Klux.
.Let tho dead bury their dead?and
henceforth let Honesty against pishou

The Illegal Jury at K In gat roe.
The legal po int. involved in there
ceut jury question at Kings tree is so
important and interesting to tho profes
sion throughout tlo State, that t ap
prehend it tvould be interesting to state
tho facts more fully than has beon done.
Tho jury law provides that "there shall
bo appointed by the Gcva'rnor, and con
firmed by the Senate, one officer*for
each county in tho Stato, to be named
nad designated a jury commissioner,
who, with the couuty auditor and chair
man of the board of county o-iuimiseioo.
ers, shall constitute a board of jury
commissioners for the county." Also
that ?'the board of jury commissioners of
each county shall onec in every year,
during tho month of January, prepare a
list of such inhabitants of their re
spective counties, n.)t absolutely exempt
as they may think well qualified to servs
as jurors, being persons of good moral
characer, of sound judgement, and free
from all legal exceptions," &c. Iu tho
County of Williainsburg, during the
month of January last, when the jury
li;-t was prepared, the officrs of jury
commissioner and county, auditor were
hold by one and the eamo individual,
ho that thccQ wore but himself, holding
these two offices, and the chairman of
the county commissioners to prepare the
li.it and draw tho jury for the lato tonn
of court. After a motion and a learn
ed nrgutnent thoreou 5y Mr. Dozier, of
Georgetown, Jud^o Green held that the
act of preparing tho list of such person
as were qualified to servo as jurytneu,
as contradistinguished from a ministerial
act, was a judicial act and required not
only a majority, but tho presence and
concurring judgement of every designa
te! member of ti e board; that if two
could perform the required sorvica as a
board, it would only bo necessary to go
one step further and hold that tho Gov
ernor might appoint the chairmai
of the county oommisoiouor^ to bo the
jury commissioner and county auditor,
and thus this one man would bo the
hoard, and perform all tho duties requir
ed, He held that there was a consider
able and {important diffierenco between
the aot of preparing the list, which is
judicial, aj stated, and tho ministerial
act of drawing the jury aftor tho list is
prepared. In the latter caso he intima
ted that ho would hold that a majority
of the boa id was sufficient, while in the
former he did not hesitate to hold that a
jury list, proparcd by any less than three
soperatl?, distinct porsons, vf?s wholly |
illegal* The TCBult was not a case civil
or criminal, was4tricd, though the jail is
prctty-^igh full of prisoiurs. And tho
worst <if it is, uo other jury canbo drawn
during the present year, for, aocordiug
to thp existing low, the list must bo
prepared in tho month of January; and
that month m pint. The only roiucdy is
additional legislation As tho Legisla
ture ist still in session, it is to bo hoped
they wall seo tho iranortanoo of at once
am tilling tho law."! understand nsimilar
dii.'uflionlty exists in Georgetown, so that
(it bo'njig in Judge Grocn's circuit) there
wiH be no court there eithor. It is

Wear White liiiuerclolhiiig-.
Tho Herald of Health recommends
white underclothing as uot "only more
healthful, but on accouut of its not ra
diating tho heat of the body at somo
ether colors do. Another strong incen
tive is the avoidance of possible poison
ing, resulting fr^m deleterious dyes
The Journal of Chemistry gives an in
stanco of tho poisonous effects of ani
line colors upon the skin in the expe
rience of a gentleman of liayfield. Ho
had a few days previous purchased some
new undershirts of cotton', colofed with
various tints, among which aniline red
predominated. In a short time after
putting on the garment a peculiar crup
tion of an irritating nature appeared on
the body covered by the cloth. Tho
effects woro not merely local, but to a
considerable extent constitutional, pain
and uneasiness being experienced in
the baok and lower extremities. In
proof that tho eruption waa causod by
tho dye colors, it may bo stated that a
portien ol tho garment about tho upper
part of the chest was lined with linen
on the under side, and whenevor this
e.amo iu contact with the skin no erup
tion for redness oocurred. It is not proba
ble, tho Journal remarks, that tho num
ber of persons is large who possess such
idiosynoraoies of constitution as to be
easily poisoned by dye colors, but that
there arc some does not admit of a
doubt.

affections, had made a
number of ptesents. Two or three weeks
siuce the young lady died, after a few
days' ^illness, and the grief of the kutdlyV'
Btricken suitor wus very sad to contem
plate. Everything that "had belonged
to her was very dear to him, rnndcrod
doubly so by her untimely taking off.
Ho prized the few /r.ibulos he hud given
her to such a degree that hu couldn't
think fur a moment of leaving th.em
with her family. Ilo came with a box

sho would like a muff. If bo, he was
ready to soil it. He wouldn't be mean ;
it cost him $15, hod, "seeing it was

produced the money, tiok tho muff, aud
