Romo Courier: A Cherokeo county
(Ala.) reader of the Courier sends us
the best fish story of the season. He
says Mr. G. W. Pinson set out some fish
hooks on the 20th in the Coosa river,
and the next morning took from one
hook an eel and a catfish weighiug
fifteen pounds. The eel was caught
on the hook, and it is supposed the cat
fish had undertaken to make bait of the
eel, and when he attempted to swallow
his prey, the eel fooled him and run
through his gills and strung the catfish
on the line, above the eel. Can any
body tell a better fish story than that?

The Circuit Couitof Telfair county,
Judge E. H. Pottle presiding, held a
special adjourned session at Crawford
ville on Monday and Tuesday last.
Eight or ten cases, one civil, were dis

evidence that Judge Pottle is deter
mined to save the county every dollar
that can be saved by a prompt and eco

Alexander If. Stephens was present on
Tuesday morning, and paid a high com

criminal cases.
Honor to the Widow of Stonewall
Jackson.
[Charlotte (N. C.) Observer.]
The handsomest thing of the Cen
tennial occasion was the houor paid
Mrs. Stonewall Jackson by the Raleigh
Light Artillery Company and the Ra
leigh Light Infantry, and by the Steam
Fire Company of ' Newbern, and the
Citizens Baud of the same place. Tho
Raleigh companies both called at the
xesidence of Col. John E. Brown, on
North Trade street, where Mrs. Jack
son lives, and gave three cheers for
her. In response to this. Miss
Julia, the only daughter of the
immortal Stonewall, came out and
presented the companies with a
boquet, after which, upon re
turning to camp, each of the
companies fired a salute in houor of
the widow of the Christian hero. The
Newbern band and fire company called
also, and gave three cheers for Mrs.
Jackson. They, too, were presented
with flowers by Miss Julia, after which
the firemen were received by, and
shook bauds with, Mrs. Jackson. They
spent a few moments in the parlor,
looking at a large portrait of the Gene
ral, then solemnly departed, many of
them wiping away the fast falling tears.
The compliment implied in this action
of the companies was a beautiful trib
ute, not only to one of the greatest
ddiers of ancient or modern times,

loveable of women—to her who

BLAIR’S RECORD.
A Broth ta*’s Vindication.
|Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
Washington. D. ! C., May 23.—Mont
gomeiy Blair has written a letter vin
dicating his brother, Gen. Frank P.
Blair, who. owing to his illness, is un
able to answer the aspersions cast upon
his military record during the late war
by the “Memoirs”, of Gen. Sherman. —
Montgomery Blair begins with Gen.
Blair’s efforts in Missouri, and recites
the fact that for his patriotic and
courageous conduct in protecting the
St. Louis Arsenal he received the offer
from President Lincoln of the position
of Brigadier-General in the regular
army, the first recognition made for
gallant service at the beginning of the
rebellion. He asserts that Gen. Sher
man refused to identify himself with
the army until he was made a colo
nel in the regular army, alleging
that he had no confidence in a volun
teer force or the commanders of volun
teers. The principal point in Blair’s
letter is that in every instance the op
position force against Gen. Sherman
succeeded in escaping ; that he was
stampeded in Kentucky with a force of
75,000 men, while the rebels had only
2l\ooo ; that Sherman’s entire military
record during the war, uutil he came
under the command of Gen. Grant, was
characterized by timidity; that Sher
man is responsible for the death of
Gen. McPherson at Atlanta ; that had
it not been for the personal courage
and soldierly daring of Gen. Blair the
inarch to the sea would have become
a disgraceful retreat; that Gen.
Sherman utterly failed to protect
the forces of Gen. Blair when the
latter weie attacked in front and rear.
Mr. Blair alludes to the fact that he
has known Sherman from boyhood,
and says that lie never knew him to
say a kind word of a comrade, and
{hat, his “Memoirs” would not be like
the man he has known had he not in
discriminately arrogated to himself all
the honor and glory.
Mr. Blair explains that he writes the
letter because his brother is still an iu
valid, and because the history of Sher
man’s hostility to his brother has been
known to him ever since Frank Blair
was requested by President Lincoln to
use bis influence in sustaining the army
and enlisting troops for the suppression
of the rebellion.
A young lady in Milwaukee under
took to climb a ladder that had been
left standing against the side of a
house, but before she had gone a
quarter of the way up quite a crowd
assembled, pereeiviug wLich she be

with much feeling : “Well, now, there
ain’t going to be no free circus here this
afternoon, you bet.” —Brooklyn Argue.
“Kicking Bird,” at the head of the

dead bird. He has kicked the bucket.
Those suple legs with which he w;is

the Treasury for governmental pap is
closed. He was a mighty mean Indian,
but, as compared to the rest of his

Incidents of the Regatta—Driving
Rats out of their Holes —Disgrace of
the Jury System—Results of Recon
struction—A Few' Good Judges
Chained by Bad Laws—General Gos
sip.
IFrom our Regular Correspondent.]
Charleston, May 25,1875.
Charleston has not yet recovered
from the excitement caused by the re
gatta, although the races are over and
the Savannah boatmen have departed
for their native wilds on the banks of
Ogechee, carrying plethoric parses, and
easy consciences. As was predicted by
your correspondent, that which the Sa
vannah oarsmeu failed to do was hand
somely accomplished by the Savannah
yatehmen, and all the money that was
left here by the former has been car
ried back by the latter, and a good deal
besides. The Savannah yacht, the “Co
quette,” having won the sailing race on
Saturday easily by 3 minutes and 45
seconds, weut off at daylight on Sun
day with a well developed flea in her
ear, and left Broad street penniless.
There were not a few gentlemen with
aquatic turns of mind hailing from
Augusta, who a'so came down to the
races with a view to speculation, and
who “paid expenses” on that same
yacht race. The city is now in a fer
ment about the shell race, which took
place on Saturday, but which was
really no race at all, the decision of the
judges to the contrary notwithstand
ing. As it is extremely probable, how
ever, that the people of your city are
not so deeply interested as they might
be, if they had invested as largely iu
the pools as your correspondent, he
feels confident that the readers of tho
Constitli i ionalist will not take it amiss
if he turns their attention to other
matters.
The Pursuit of the Rogues.
And 1 don’t kuow of a more pleasant
topic than that of the criminal prose
cutions that are uow going on iu this
State agaiust the thieving ring who
have been plundering the Palmetto
State lor so many years. Parker, the
wealthy ex-Treasurer, still languishes
iu the Richland county jail, his case
having. been continued very much
agaiust his wishes. A case of official
misconduct, which has just been tried
in Sumter county, will show the readers
of the Constitutionalist what a farce
the jury system of South Carolina has
come to be. W. H. Gardener is a ear
pet-baggerof the firet water, who came
to the State at the close of the
war in a penniless condition in
gratiated himself into the favor of
the negroes and was elected to the
Legislature. Gardener was a shrewd
shyster and held his vote at such a fig
ure that he soon became rich enough
to retire from business. He had, how
ever, during his career in the Legisla
ture, gained the favor of Moses, the
robber Governor, by whom he was ap
pointed Treasurer of Sumter county.
In this new fluid, and these new pas
tures. Gardener fouud abundant oppor
tunities for the exercise of his knavish
practices. In the face of the law which
requires County Treasurers to make
monthly reports, and which forbids
such officers from speculating in county
paper, Gardener locked up the tax pay
ers’ money, refused to make his re
ports, and eventually starved the ju
rors, witnesses and school teachers of
the county into selling their claims to
him at a tremendous discount. I would
not have you understand that this is
an exceptional case. Nearly every Coun
ty Treasurer in the State does the same
thing, but this is one of the first,
cases that has been brought to the
public attention through the criminal
courts. All of these facts were sub
stantially proven on the trial; and it
was also proven that Gardener had ab
stracted aud destroyed the record
book of the County Commissioners.
The jury consisted of seven negroes
and five white meu. Of this number
the five white men and four of the ne
groes were for conviction; but Gard
ner’s ill-gotten gold had been brought
to bear upon three of the negro jury
men, and they starved out the major
ity, so that the case resulted in a mis
trial, and the sleek culprit still goes
unwhipped of justice. And this brings
me to speak of one of the greatest of the
many curses that the people of South
Carolina have to labor under. I mean
The Jury System.
At best the reconstructed jury laws
of the State are complicated, cumber
some and imperfect; so imperfect, in
deed, that in several of the upper coun
ties a court has not been held iu three
years, in consequence of the illegal
drawing of the jury. But this is not
the worst feature of the system. It is
manipulated by bad men for selfish
purposes, and in this way The law
provides that tho juryman shall be
drawn from a box, which is supposed
to contain the names of a certain num
ber of the votes of the country, in pro
portion to their respective numbers.
The preparation of this list is entrusted
to office-holders, and as a juryman’s
pay is of considerable consequence to
the lazy vagabond negro politicians who
do not work for a living, it often hap
pens that out of a list of 120 jurymen
drawn for a certain term of court near
ly 100 of them are negroes. If by ac
cident 25 or 30 respectable white citi
zens are drawn, the sheriff of the coun
ty, who is iu nine cases out of ten a
Radical demagogue of the worst stripe,
quietly instructs his deputies to return
the names non est inventus. This makes
a deficit in the panel, and the course
prescribed by law is to fill up the panel
from the bystanders. The sheriff pre
pares for this emergency by having
his picked henchmen to crowd the
Court House on the first day of the
session, and hence it often occurs that
iu a county where the white and black
voters are in nearly equal numbers,
a jury panel is organized with thirty
negroes and six low whito men.
Au effort has been made by several
of the Judges to reform this evil,
but even the bench is not free from the
corrupt influences that are brought to
bear upon them and the relief that has
been afforded is by no means adequate
to the occasion. Of the eight Circuit
Judges iu the State there are two at
least who have heretofore broken
through the traces of the party harness
and have fearlessly aided the Governor
ia his efforts for reform, Judge Maher
of Barnwell and Judge Shaw, of the
Eastern Circuit. Judge Heed, who fills
the bench of the most important Circuit
iu the State, tho Charleston Circuit, is
evidently disposed to do the right thing
but is also evidently in dread of the
political influence of Bowen the Sheriff
of the county. It will readily be seen
that under such a system as this the
courts are practically closed to the
now respectable portion of the white
citizens. Judge Bryan of the United
States District Court has contri
buted greatly to a reform in this
practice by i3suiDg an order which
prohibits any person fiom serving as a
juryman in the United States Court
who is unable to read and write, and
until Judge Bryan’s example is fol
lowed by the Circuit Judges there can
be no real reform of the abuses which
exist in South Carolina. The flesh pots
of Egypt have lost none of their savory
odors,' and If a thieving official is
brought to trial he can always find two
or three men on the jury who, for a
small pecuniary consideration, can he
induced to vote not guilty, no matter
what the evidence may be.
The Whiskey Raid,
which has lately been instituted by the
revenue authorities in the Western

On Saturday of last week one hundred
barrels of whiskey, in the possession
of a prominent business firm, in this

Marshal under suspicion of being

States Circuit Court.

Gov. Chamberlain—The Columbia Po
lice.
Major Sidney Herbert to tho Atlanta
News : The people there seem hopeful
for the future, although some express
a lack of confidence in Gov. Chamber
lain’s honesty of purpose. Already nu
merous State officials are under bond
or iu prison, as the result of fraud and
corruption on their part. Ex-Governor
Moses, however, is living, unmolested,
in lino style in the splendid Preston
mansion, which was purchased by him
with funds which lie embezzled from
the tax payers of the State. It is not
certain, we are informed, that lie will
long remain unmolested, as the people
seem determined, if sustained by Gov.
Chamberlain and other Conservatives,
tobiiugto justice tho entire horde of
Radical plunderers. May the good
work go on until down-trodden South
Carolina shall take her p'a e beside
Georgia and Alabama and proclaim
herself forever free from Radical mis
rule aud corruption
The police force here is composed
entirely of negroes, with the exception
of two meaner scallawag white (?)
men, and is about as poor and ineffi
cient a body as could be desired in
such a Radical community. To look
at the manly, neatly dressed policemen
of your city, and then compare them
with the dirty, loafing negroes of the
Columbia force, is enough to show that
Radicalism must and will degrade any
people over whom it holds sway. Even
the United States troops stationed here
(some five or sb: companies), although
under the command of Col. Black, for
merly in charge at West Point Acade
my, and a superior disciplinarian, feel
the demoralizing influences of the po
litical atmosphere which they breathe,
and frequently behave in an unsoldier
ly mauner. But a brighter day is earn
estly and patiently looked for, and
when it comes, as we hope it may do
right soon, Columbia aud her sister
sisters will enter upon a more glorious
career than lias ever before marked
their history.
