and well lighted, ufer which, the ladies and
gentlemen took their places on the floor to
“trip the light fantastic *to the music cx< u
ted by our townsman, Mr. Rosknburg, who is
an accomplished violinist. When the dance

S city has been very quiet, more especially the

the “limits” to interest or enlive the ever
vigilant Marshal, or police who are always

violation of her laws. Darien is, at this
time, much more quiet and peaceable
than would be supposed by strangers, jndg
ir from its previous reputation.

beautiful bulif pieneut. I say beautiful
from the fact Shju it has never been uiy good
fortuno beforcjlb set so much beauty arrayed
in one assembly as was present that night;
one in particulnr, whose name was exactly
in coiLsouancavith the name of the month,
the first day o which was being celebrated,
was, by nnaiiinous voice, declare 1 “gor
geous” and pronounced Belle of the evening.
Every lady ms nwgiiiriccntly dressed; each
seeming to know! what colored ribbon or
wreath best suited! her complexion, thereby
adding to the multifold charms that nature
bail already lavished upon her person. The
gentlemen, too. wtie ne. xly attired, especi
ally those in luifoi nis. The old Confederate
Grey brought vividly to my mind recollt; -
tions of the past, and while there watching
everything where rayrth reigned supreme,
oft wculd a *nl thought steal over me and
my memory revert to days of vure, when at
the dawn oi'day 1 have seen the tine, raan.y
form of a comrade clothed in that uniform,
‘ all joy and life, knowing no care, and before
night see him hurled by the cruel an ; ruth
less hand of wir into an untimely grave.
But enotighV of this departure from my sub
ject.
At twelve o’clock the crowd was invited
into an adjoining room, where there was two
long tables spread, covered with every im
aginable delicacy and luxury that the appe
tite could crave or desire Pleasant conver
sation, dfiuking wine, and sampling the
| different viands, was here indulged in foi
the next hour, when the ball room wasagatr
entered, the dance began and continued uu
til the “breezy cal! of incense breathing
morn” could be plainly heard, together with
the regrel of every ono present, that tiie day
had dawned to end the festal night
Before concluding, Mr. Editor, it will not
be asm s to-indulge in an expression of my
opinion regarding this affair, and of those
under whose imiuodi ite supervision it was
had. Never have I seen, nor do I think
there was ever a place where mutual enjoy
ment was more manifest than was there that
night, every ne seemed to enjoy him or
herself aliiitn and peace, good order and dig
nity was apparent, throughout. Upon the
whole it rctlects gicat credit upon Messrs.
Wing. Gl.\v n and Eppino, whom, I learned,
were the Committee of Arrangements;
also upon the gi.-nth manly and pleasant pro
prietor of the Magnolia House Mr. A. K. Carr.
t getheifv. ith his ass: ; ant, Mr. J. M . Cohen,
both of whom I would commend to the pub
lic as being ui quocunqveparatus.

them better? Dai ion is snubbed e very day

they are clever enough to believe, comes

Dull in Capital Offenses.
Darien. May 4th, 1874.
Editor Darien limber Gazette:
The laws of our own State allow all per
sons, charged wiih criminal offenses, to be
released ou proper bail. Our laws recog
nize only* three classes or grades of crimes.
The first, is misdemeanors —punishable with
tine or imprisonment in the county jail, or
both, in the discretion of the Court. The
second, is felonies, and only punishable with
imprisonment in the Penitentiary, and the
last, known as u felony -punishable with
death.
The first and second are always bailable,
and the.vMinnntting Magistrates are clothed
with pi 'rev to determine and receive the
amount -if bail, and the sufficiency of the se
curities . tendered; but they are always ex
pected and required to take none but good
and solvent securities. Tiie last, known as
lelonics. and punishable with death are only
bailable by the Judges of the Superior Courts
ot the different counties, and from the pe
culiar phraseology ot the statute, the infer
ence is clear, that in very extreme cases the
discretionary power is taken from him. At
any rate, lie is never expected to abnsa that
discretion and confidence which the law re
poses i ism, but in all cases of such felonies,
by 7 virtue of his. office, and the exclusive
power v| lin him, must use it cautiously,
discvv .fr' ami judiciously. And the very
morn-at a judge abuses that power and ev r
! cises that dis •retinn without proper caution
mid fore bought, that very moment he stul
i tifys th- law, lowers the dignity and Cuu
tamiuat.-s th" purity of the judi ual ermine;
the fear and awe, which by reason of the se
verity ."i the penalty is removed, therefore
that discretion should, in all c.es, be wise
ly exercised, if at all, and the bail slvoul 1 be
| good and solvent, for a criminal turned loose
upon a . traw bond, and especially when the
| chance., and probabilities of conviction are i
I strong, '-ill invariably fly froir justice, and
nine times out of ten will never appear for
Inal, in which event, he goes unpunished, •
and is ihereby encouraged to r* p and th-- of

A meet! g of the Southern Lumber and
Timber ffispciatiou will he held in Wilming
ton. N. C| Ain the 27th of May next. The
meeting ef organization of this association j
was held t :, .i Savannah test year, but mluok
of uumintnity of action prevented any ma-1
terial re. ilts for the advancement ot the!
lumber n.j-ijests from being accomplished.
The chief oi'ject of this association is to form
a colt. I iff of all the Souther n mill nu n fi r
the purpose of compelling the pur chasers of
lumber at the North to purchase and n e. i\o
lumber at the South subject to home nn a.‘*
uroment and j. spection; and to cause tic
abolishment of the foreign inspector. The
following is the call for the meeting in Slav .
SavanntH. Ga., April 21, 1874.
To the Members of the Southern Lumber and
Tunler Association :
\lai.s proportion of the director , and
niom'i r of your association consider it ad
visable tlibt a meeting of its members should
he held at an early day, to take into consid
er.ti'in the present condition of the tiado in
order to sa vgest some means for its improve
ment. I therefore name Wilmington, N. ('.,
jas the place, an 1 Wednesday. May 27th.
‘di-ox., nt 10 o’clock a. m.. as the day and
; hour of laceling. ' It is desirable that there
should be a full attendance, aud to secure
this I would suggest that each shipping port
s ad a full delegation, empowered to aet for
a!l the. nr ni . lis of that locality.
Believing;(that united action upon the part
of the Southern lumber manufacturers w.ill
be productive of great coral to the whole
trade. I tntrst each mend er will do all that is
possible ti secure a full attendance at the
comiug cqpiveution.

What The Press Say of Us.
The Darien Timber Gazette.—The first
number of this new and worthy candidate
for popular favor, reached us last Sunday,
and the well-filled columns and neat typo
graphical appearance of the sheet was, to us,
a source of great pleasure. A targe space is
judiciously devoted to local matters, besides
containing good editorials and interesting
communications.
The Gazette is well worthy of liberal pat
ronage, and we hope the business men of
Darien will appreciate and take advantage of
this vehicle of communication with tin pub
lic. Printer's ink, judiciously expended, is
the best investment a business man can
make, and we trust the columns of the Ga
zette will soon afford abundant evidence
that this truth is properly appreciated.--
