ISISSILCHCF DISTRESS l
Under the above caption wo char
acterise and publish the following:
To the Fcop'e nfashin;toa Co.
The undersigned members of the
Grand Jury selected by the Board I
of Supenisor of your county, to'
serve at the April term, 1875, of
the Circuit Court, deeming it une
uot only to vou but totmreeives to
explain tho events which were
taken as pretext by the Hon. C. C.
Slmckleford, for "dismissing the
said Grand Jury this 12th day of
April, 1875, and of ordering anoth
er Graud Jury to be summoned in
our stead, beg to submit tho fol
lowing statements:
Iiefore the Slier ill' called the roll of
the members from tho 1st Super
visor's district, W. II. Trigg.Ksq.,
called the attention of tho Court
to the fact that tho iiamo of Wade
Hampton, jr., from said 1st district
had not been called, and upon this
beiug done, the Sheriff stated that
lie had not called the names from
Hint district. aud-lhcreuiiou called
the names, and said Hampton,
upon being called, took his "place.
When tho name of McrrA-" r
Hams was called, a statement Was
made to tha Court, that said Wil
liams was a Levee Inspector nnd
desired tobeexcused, but that Mr.
W. W. Worthinsrton was present
in court, and would servo in his
stead. The Court - then excused
the said Wiliams and directed the
Sheriff to summons a person in
his stead, I litrt n pon the Shcritf
summoned the said W. W.Wor
thlugton who was duly sworn as to
his qiialincntlous, and lliorupon a
hallengo was mudo to the array by
W. It. TriL'sf. E0.." upon the
grounds that the said Wade Hamp
ton, lr., bail not been summoned
and that tho said W. W. Worth-
ington was a imbsitutc and there
upon tho court answered that lu
regard to tho the latter tho facts
were not as stated by counsel and
not in accordance with the records,
and directed tho Clerk to have the
records show distinctly that tho
said V. W.Worthlugton had been
summoned by tho SherriiT.
And thecourt moreover stated that
Ihesald 4Vado Hampton, jr., had
becti selected by the Board of Su
pervisors as a member of the
Grand Jury, and whether sum
moned or not was presuut in court
and a member ot the Jury: and
thereupon tho court charged the
Jury and they retired to their room
and they continued in session from
day to day, until they adjourned
ou'Saturday tlio 10th iiist., to meet
at 0 o'clock a. m. on Monday tho
12th lust. Before the court mot
on tho 12th tho rumor was preva
lent and had como to tho ears of
some of the Grand Jury that the
Judge intended to dismiss the jury
and have another summoned in its
place.
When tho court met and as soon
as the Grand Jury had met in
their room we were summoned in
tho presence of tho court and there
dissmlsscd. The court assigned as
a reason therefore thai the said
Wailu IJumplouJr., had not been
summoned and that the said W.
W. Wort Illusion was a subsituto.
TIicpc facts, us tar as above stated,
can bo substantiated by the orig
inal records made at the time, as
well as by all present in court.
Believing that the rights of tho
commuutiy have been trampled
upon, and one of the safo-gaurds of
liberty broken down by tho arbi
trary action of the court In the
premises, and that you have a
right to know tho pretext offered
for depriving you of tho Gi;uid
Jury selected by your represent
atives, we respectfully submit tho
foregoing statement for your con
sideration. Wade Hampton, Jr.,
b.G.rrciwh.

At tho time of tho summary and
unprecedented dismibsal of this
Grand Jury, it was engaged in a
thorough investigation of , tho
frauds and criminal violations of
law pertaining to certain couutyof
flcials: and was destluod to mater
terlally assist the recovery of the
large amounts of money held by
the several tax collectors,
from the state and county revenues
for which civil suits have been in
stituted. This joiued with
tho fact that it was a body of men.
composed of Bomo of the best cit
izens of the couuty, caused its de
liberations to be ' most eagerly
watched by taxpayers and all good
citizens of all classes. Naturally
this cutting short, at that time of
its labors, produeced an intense
feeling of indignation by this class
of the community: suceodod how
ever by a feeling of deeper depres
sion aud hopelcssnes than we ever
before observed:
Admitting, for the sake of
argument that, the Judge's reosou
for objecting to Messrs. Worthlng
ton and Hampton was sufficient,
the. Jury was complete without
these two members: but argument
Is idle on this occasion.
If. as has been intimated, there
were other reasons for ttio ttis
charge of the Grand " Jury, it is
unfortunate they were not staioa,
Another Graud Jury has been
summoned: though gravo doubts
exist as to its legality.
GREENVILLE, -WASHINGTON CO.,
Frccccdinssof aTntllc Sleeting.
In pursuance to a call for a
meeting of the eitizeus of the town
and county, to take into consider
ation the conduct of the Hon. C. C.
Snack,erord in di.niissin
'
Grand Jury, a meeting wi
the
as held
in Alexanders Hall, April 13th
1875..
On motion a committee of five
were appointed to draft Resolu
tions, to express the sense of the
meeting, the committee adopted
tho following resolutions, which
were adopted without disscussion.
AVhereaa the Hon. C. O Shack
leford hat seen tit, in his wUdom,
as Chief Executive of the Judicary
ofthic district, to discharge the
Graud Jury.
Be itresoivcd, that in vJew of
his known 'character for sterling
honesty and iutegrity,his charac
ter above reproach, and iu tho ub
sccoof any information or proof as
to his culpable intention in dis
charging said Grand Jury, and in
view of tho fact that he should be
better ablo to judge of the premis
es than nuy other, either for the
prosicutiou or defence. Beit re
solved, that his action is endorsed,
and wo pledge 'our coulideuce aud
respect untill it can be shown that
he noted with unworthy motives or
without authority of law.
Bo it further resolved, that we
believe it tp bo tho duty of all good
citizens to sustain the dignity of
our courts, until biicIi tlmo ns the
courts shall fail lu the performance
of the sacred duties entrusted to
their charge.

Oh motion it was ordered that
a copy of said RcBolntions bo pre
sented to the Hon. Judge Shackle
ford and also a copy bo furnished
to the press for publicatou.
Ou motion the mooting abjonucd.
We deem it proper and essential
to accompany tho foregoing with
a statement of the origin of this
mooting. It was originally pro
cured by proniluont Radical Lead
ers, with the avowed purpose of
passing resolutions of "indigna
tion," on account of the dismissal
by Judgo Shacklcford, of tho
Washington county Grand Jury:
and through this object command
ed the attendance of many who de
sired to participate with them in
expressing disapprobation nt this
extarordinary action of the Judge:
but it was distinctly perceptible
when the meeting had assembled
that it had been "captured," per
haps gotten up with this end in
view: at all events the " indigna
tion," simmered: oozed away as
did Bob Acres' courage: honco tho
melancholy farce attending this so
called, " Indignation, " meeting:
which excited the very deep die
gust of the respectable body of cit
iznus attending tho meeting with
sincere motives.
Lottslana Affairs. '
Opposition to adjustment devel
oped to ifs fullest extent bright
and early Monday morning. Au-
toine and ltuusacker are the lea
ders, with Pinchback working un
derhand, and the present oflicors
of the House joined lu. Their
chief object is to retain their po
sitions, -
.Vigors and Roxbcrry, tho Clerk
and Assistant Clerk, pronounced
loudly against any understanding
with tho Conservatives. Antotue
is still riticent, but knowu to be a
bitter opponent.
Stamps remains true to the orig
inal agreement, and appears to ex
ercise great Influence for good.
In the Senate but little trouble is
apprehended. Some objections
have ben urged to the unseating of
Crozicr, but tho issue is not regard
ed as vitaly important. .
Hcriwig it is thought will stand
for adjustment, his demands hav
ing beeu com plod with by Kellogg
on Saturday evuing.
A careful review of tho political
situation developcs an excicited
state of affairs, but with apporau-
ccs indicating tho overthrow of
Pinch and his entire crowd. Ev
ery thing depends upon the firm
ness of the Conservatives, and the
nerve exhibited by them in this
trying hour.
Later. Tho Lcjrlslatuo has as
sembled and organized.
