3aldium seems riot to think so,.ow
ever, as it characterizes those who
are o1posed to the whippiug-post as
"beloniging to that particular class
of hunanitarians who have n''re
charityv for the wretch in jail than
the good and patriotic citizen whom
he has feloniously robbed of his

that the MerliUmf may be mistaken.
The Trial Justices of Anderson
County are elected by the people
and then appointed by the Gov
ernor. We find the following in
the Intelligencer of last week:
There will be an election held in
the town of Honea Path on Satur
day, thle 22d of this month, to
select a suitable person to act as
Trial Justice for Honea Path town
ship. A fair and full expression of
the public sentiment is desired.
Therefore, coame one, come all.
A Trial Justice is not an officer
to serve merely a few individuals,
but one whose duty it is to serve
the whole people. He should, then,
be chosen by the people. Let 1I/w
colwc of t/w people rule.
ONt HmaTnI1 AND SEVEmTYFm:E
The Texas Legislature has de
feated a bill to allow persons ac
cused of crime to testify in their
own behalf, on the ground that it
offers too strong an inducement to
perjury, which we consider a very
good reason. It is very doubtful
whether it is really any advantage
to the prisoner anyway ; for the
fact that he is testifying in his own
behalf makes his testimony open to
suspicion. And if hi. do not testify
at all, al though the law says this
shall not raise any presumption
against him, yet it necessarily does,
for it natui-ally suggests to the jury
that he is afraid to go upon the
stand. Wc doubt whether upon
the whole the accused derives any
benefit from the law ; and that it
does lead t o downright perjury
in numerous instances is evi
dent to any one who is accustomed
to atte:id upon our courts of justice.
The speech of Hon. Di. Wyatt
Aiken in Congress on the subject of
Southerrn war claims has been high

States. We printed the speech last

defence of the South from the
charge so often repeated by Nor-th
ern R~adicals and even by Northern
C~opperheadl Democra'.s, that she
was looking to the United States
Treasury for reimburiisemaent for the
losses of the war. To use a slang

Appeals from Trial Justices'
Court.
Parties to civil actions in Trial
Justices' Courts can appeal without
giving bond. This is an encourage
ment to appeal; it secures delay,
and there is no doubt that many
appeals are taken for that sole pur
pose. There are about sixty cases
on the appeal calendar of the Cir
cuit Court here, the trial of which
will occupy several days. If parties
were required to give bond on ap
peals from Trial Justice's Court, as
was formerly the law, no appeal
would be taken except for good and
su1icient cause. We hope the next
Legislature will remedy this matter.
MceincMa Found (guilty.
The Court of General Sessions
has been in session at Laurens
since the 17th inst. Four parties
have been found guilty of grand
larceny, one of assault and battery,
and one of disturbing a religious
meeting.
The case that excited most inter
est was that of the State vs. Win.
McNinch, John Blackwell and J. L.
-1. Irby. indicted for murder-kill
ing Win. C. Kilgore Sale-day in
Jan uary. The defendants severed,
and McNinch was tried first. The
trial began Wednesday, and Satur
day the jury brought in a verdict of
"guihy." McNinch will appeal. The
case has been continued as to Irby
and Blackwell.
Opposed to Court.
The Newberry Pomona Grange
met at Trinity the 14th. Among
other business transacted a resolu
tion was adopted in opposition to
the Extra Term of Court ordered
by Judge Aldrich for May. The
Grangers say they are desirous that
the dockets of the Court should be
cleared and the old business that
now clogs it should be wound up ;
but declare that the month of May
is not a fit time to call farmers from~
their farms to act as jurors and
witnesses. That is one of the most
important months in the year, and
upon it depends the success or fail
ure of a crop. One of them very
forcibly observed that a'man's boot
tracks in his farm are worth a great
deal to him,in May, meaning that
his personal supervision is specially
needed at that time. All this is
true. It is no doubt a hardship.
lBut there must be a choice between
two evils. While we have an op
portunity to accomplish what we
have all so long wished for, that is
the clearing up of the Court Calen
dars, it would seem a pity to let1
ti.e opportunity slip. There is no
telling when such an opportunity
will occ-ur again. And the sacrifices
will probablv not be as great as
they anticipate. The only incon
venience of any consequence will be
to the jurors, and they in many
cases are not farmers, and many-1
who are farmers have trustworthy
persons at home who will see that
their business does not suffer. As1
to witnesses the b.usiness will be so
arranged that they will be requir-ed
to attend but a shor-t time. The
cases on the calendars are to be ar
ranged, and a certain number as
signed to each day of the term.
This arrangement will be published
in the County papers, so that wit
nesses will know on what days to
attend Court.
Having said this much we dis
miss the subject, hoping that if the
farmers can see their way clear they
will withdraw their opposition to
the Extra Court. We do not know
howv far their opposition extends ;
the only evidence of opposition we
have see'i or heard of is that con
taned in the resolutions above re
ferred to.
Tea Culture.
Mr. M1. Gillet Gill, of the firm of
Martin Gillet & Co., of Baltimore,
thus speaks of the cultivation of the
tea plant in the South:1
"At Georgetown, South Carolina, I
found a gentlemuan of thc old school,
whose hospitality was uubounded, and:
whose broad, fertile lands, two thous
and aures in extent, with ever twoi
hundred cabins, storehouses andJ a
ch urch upon the plantation, which be
fore the war was regarded as a sine- I
ure against all future want, anid, even I
with rice at three cents, yielded a<
menue that was moure than suflcient t
fo all the wants and luxuries of a
laige househIold. Now, with r-ice at
six cents, and free labor, it does not '
py to cultivate, and the owner prc-e.
ies miediciue for an income. Thet
tjrole is the labor question, for it is
impossible to get the negroes to work
tvith that steadiness and diligence a
:hat is required fur the successful pro H
irought on with me to show the
ietual results.
"As an illustration of the hardi
iood of the tea plant, the seeds, which
V! Eard aml rouLid, were used as mar
eLb the uegro children. and I
V1nid see yoUjg plaits springing up
il ovor tht play ground. But the in
eUe i!tere1t taken in tea culturc
y this fentlemla ls exceptional, and
regret to say that many of those
supplied with plants by the depart
nent of agriculture procured them
out of curiosity, and because they
Culdt be had for the asking. without
:il!v idea of making a business ur in
austry out of it. Then again, the mla
jority are too poor to spend labor on
at article that will reqiire three or
four years to ro1AduCe aly return, and
my opinion is confirmed that, unless
somne organized efforts with capital
a I ade, the enterprise will not have
thit chance of success it otherwise
would.
6As fUr the planjts grrowing in the
South to perfectwio. there is no cues
ion, for i :Iw them as flue as any
tat evcr Znr0w W I Cina. And it is a
exposed to noc of the vicissi
01es of climate or chauce-un1like a
.s'ed or fruit, the leaves always cuie.
Er may not be generally known that
thme tea plant is Dot iudigenous either
to China or Japan, and there are ro
clinatic reasons why it should thrive
bvtter there than in our own laud.
No m,ore striking evidence of the
value a!id practicability of tea culture
by Esuropcaus can be offered than the
experience of the Eugish iu Iudia,
whe, under the wost adverse cir
eumj;staues, they have succeeded in
producing teas that rival those of
Chi -a in quality, and at a cust that
enabls the companies to declare large
di'v ideIds. In fact, tea culture in In
dia ias proved a most profitable busi
n'S for the past five years, and when
famine, from the failure of the crops
of cerea!s, was devatiating the land
the tea plant continued to yield its ac
customied leaf.
"The fact of the successful growth
of t-a being demonstrated, the only
questiou remnaining is, can the I.aves
be umaufactured into tea at a cost
that will give prAit-able results ? Now
we lave a great advautage over the
English in India in respect to our
mechanical appliances. In India ma
chinery is applied to all the depart
me1Ats of tea manufacture except the
sia,ple gathering o' the leaves, and
from what I have seen of these ma
chines 1 feel quite satisfied that Amieri
can ingenuity would greatly simplify
and improve them. I have made ar
rangements with those having tea
plants to express to Baltimore all
the young leaves they produce this
spring. Hlere they will be experi
mented on, and a tea on American
principles, will be produced which will
practically democnstrate the possibility
of producing in our own land the
fraurant herb that cheers.'4

Our Washington Letter.
W\ASINGTON, I). C.,
Fe bruary 19, 1879.
Congress has made in the past
week immense progress in its work.
Both House and Scnate have been
busy. In the former the bill to pay
arrears of pensions. the. river and
harbor bill and the deficiency bill have
been passed, and much consideration
ziven to thec legislative, Fxecutive and
judicial bill. There has been consid
erable discussion of the House Census
bill and disposition shown to pass it.
The only point in serious dispute is
that which allows the Governors of
States to name the oficeers to per
form the work. There is alnost eni
tire unauimity in supp)ort of the pro
visions maing this much moreI
thorough thau auy previous census.
Tfhe Senate has concurred in the ac
tion of the House reducing the tax on
tobacco f ro'u 24 to 16 cents. By a prae
tically unanimous vote it has also re
fused to put a duty upon tea and
-offee. Senator Matthews had pro
posed this duty and three other Sen
ttors voted with him for it.
it is not yet certain whether or
not Mr. Hayes will approve the bill
restricting Chinese imnmigration. The
pressure upon him to veto it is princi
ply from sections interested in
Uinese trade, and is enormous.
There was most interesting testi
uony given before the Potter Com
mittee yesterday. Gen. Francis P.
Barlow, of N. Y., one of the Repub
iean visiting statesmen ,gave his ver
ion of the Presidential contest in*
Florida in 1876. HIe went there
arly and stayed until the struggle
was over. He was convinced that the
tate gave its vote for Tilden and that
in fair meCaus had to be used to trans
'er it to Hayes. Hie conversed at the
ie with D)r. Cowgill, one of the
tate Canvassing Board, who agreed
vith him. and with Gov.- Stearns,
mother member, who neither agreed
or disagreed. lie believes now, as
n 1876, that the vote of Florida
hould have been counted for Tilden.

Our Tenure cf' Lifle
Depenis in great measure upon our regard
for or neglect of the laws of hiealth. If we
violate them we cannot expect to "make old
bones." But that the spau of existen.ce al
lotted to a naturally delicate constitution, or
one which has been shaken by d isease may
be materially lenghthened, is a fact of which
we have daily proof. The vivifying !ind res
tor..ive influence of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters upon a failing physique affords a
striking illustration of the power of'judicious
medication to strengthen the hold on life.
Restored digestion, complete assimilation,
renewed appetite, sound repose, these are
among the benefits conferred upon the de

a circulit*on enriched, a frame invigorated

NcWh.ry County, S. C.
Obituary.
Died, at 4er residence in Ncwb.rry county,
S. C., Feb. 5th, 1879, of consumption, Mrs.
EUGENIA L. AULL, at the :tge of 47 years.
Mrs Anil was brought up in the Epis
copal cLutch, but after her marriage she
united wi:h the Evangelical Lutherau church,
of which her husband was a member. She
loved her church, and adorned her profession
by a consistent life. Her death causes a
vacancy in the church that is felt. For three
years an invalid, she bore her affliction with
great cheerfulness and resignation as we
ever witnessed. She was amiable and kind.
As a mother she was devoted to her chil
dren, and hence her death creates a void
with them that can never be filled. But
whilst their hearts are almost crushed under
the double bereavement of both father and
mother in the short space of five weeks, they
mourn not withour hope. They have a well
grounded assurance that in the case of their
departed parents to die is gain. Having
fought a good fight, finished their course
and ker t the faith, they have gone to re
ceive of the Lord, the righteous Judge, a
crown of righteousness. S.
