Froth the Snifiter Republican. , I
Newtoh, March 19, 1855.
Sir: [t is with any other feeling than inclina
tion or choice, that 1 request a place in the col
umns of your paper for this communication, in
notice of the editorial, captioned “Our Superior
Court,” in the last issue of your paper. My ob
ject is now to call \ ours and the public’s atten
tion to t he charge intimated therein, prejudicial to
my official conduct tiianto refute them, the lat
ler, I leave to the voluntary testimony and kind
iiess ot others, who are ahie and I trust net un
willing: Yon say, that “The laws have hereto
fore-been disregarded and treated with contempt,
because ot the facility with which a nol pros’
could be arranged with the Solicitor not only iii
this, but in other circuits,” and that “We rejoice
to hear that the Grand Juries in our county have
spoken their sentiments on this subject in shell
a manner, as will render it somewhat more diffi
cult in the future for offenders against the State
Jo compromise with the officers of rustics.” This
is right.
The only sentiments ever speken by your Grand
Juries, were in the shape of a Protest to tlie reso-’
lutiou of tile body at the 2nd week of your last
August Ternt, voting me their thanks, which
I will tiers give, so that you may better under
stand the next time you see proper to notice my
official conduct Ihe basis of your remarks. 1 will
here state, that there was no reason given bv
these gentlemen whose names are here given for
their pro'est. Ido not know how true that is
they gave me subsequently certain reasons which,
when lam called upon the public shall have.
This comprises jhe whole sentiment, that I am
aware were ever spoken by your Gram) Juries.
‘By a vote of the body the following rosdUi
tion was pissed, Resolved, that we tender to our
Solicitor Gol. John Lyon our thanks forliis cour
tesy to this body during the present Term,” sign
ed by all the Jury—with this protest.
Wedissent Iron.theabovere-olution: Wtii. W.
Barrow, il. Davenport, J ones \V. Green, D. L.
McNair, J. A. 110 gue.” 1 was not p esent when
lliese presentm uits were read, having obtained
leave of absence that morning. E.se they would
have received earlier notice.
At the August Term 1833, a great many spe
cial presentments lor Gambling against many
of your respectable citizens wlm are not Ginib-
Irrs— were relumed by the Grand Jury of that
.term. At term, 1851, they were all’
jioi pros’d or ilie most ot them—there were also
several bills tor dealing Faro. Two of which
were not pr.is’d upon affidavits being made that
.they,the Defendants did not deal lor theiii a elves
and was not interested in the game. Two others
bleaded guilty—the oilers I have made every
qtfort to have arrested, 1 l.aVq sent warrants to
Macon and Bibb comities, t will now give my
■reasons lor nol pross'ng the Bills against the bet
fers. They were all o.itained upon the evidence
pi witnes-es who were sworn, ‘‘tilat the evidence
they should give the Grand Jury upon a special
Investigation should he the tint i,<Xio.” And nil
.der thisorili the names of iliu betters were dis
closed, which oalif 1 was then sa isli and, was un
authorized by our Statutes,and the Presentments
.inade upon tlie evidence under it were conse
quently void. And 1 never would have adminis
tered it, but Judges Warren and Perkins .hmli as
sured me that it was riylit, and they would com
pel the witnesses to disclose all they knew under
Jt. As to the m ilter of investigation, it is right
for many grtoJ reasons, but not legs l , and 1 lelt
satisfied that \V enever tlie question was made,
tlie Supreme Court wuu'd buhl that Present
ments lints obtained were liab'e to he quashed
o r motion waicli they have since decided, and
{that question would have been made a defence ol
those Presentments. Col. Malone, the able Fore
man of (lie Gran I Jury ol the ii si week of your
last Court, will recollect that the Presentments
inade the last Term, were In even a worse con
dilion than above mentioned, until the Ithines
■Were shown me,.as those against whom thorp
.Were Pre.-eni mentis ior gaming—they were how
ever, presented in proper shape lor conviction.
There were other legal obj'c'inns to :he Piesent-
Inputs of ’53, which 1 shall not give here as they
may clash iii some other erse b ‘lore the country,
and in addition to these legal considerations,
there were others not to be slightly treated from
the commencement of ihe Term, at which they
were nol pros’d. I was importuned from irior
,ning ti l night, in my room in tlie Court
house, o i the S pi ire, by numbers of as good oil
izens, as there are in Sumter or any where else,
who were not interested to nol pros, those Pre
sentments, and were told that it wrs the tirst
time, which it was so, and that such a disposition
of l hem would have as good effect upon trie’ par
ties themselves and others of the commutii'y
who might by tascina'ioii of the game,or lor the
excitement ol the ainu-enl Mit be tempted to in
dulge, and that the community would be satis
fied. 1. td'd them that il they were ever present
ed again, they might rtely for a certainty Upon a
tigid prosecution.
, 1 appealed to Judge Pe tins and many others
as to the best policy to pursue ;th“v all left it so
iny discretion, where it was,and without giving
tpe any advice about it, tiie costs were all paid. .
There have been a. great many other Bills and
special Presentments nol pro.'d in yenr cnuriiy
and other counties, in tlie circuit. All of the
Smaller prosecutions I could n >t prevent, hut not
one Special Presentment, or Indictment that I
could .control, has been nol pros’d since I have
been in the office without reference to the cir
cumstances of the charge, ihe probability of a
conviction, &c. I have tried to exercise that
wise anil politic discretion in every case, without
reference to me pecuniary condition of the party,
with which every prosecuting officer ought to be
imbued . I have-accepted of nothing to discharge,
or not discharge tlie duties ol my ntfice, it Iras
been repeatedly proposed by prosecutors and de
fendants tyiio were under me impression that it
yyis my perfect right and privilege to accept it,
£nd “m rich man iits ever been per/niited to buy j
himselfofffrom tiie operation of the law,” “no
poor man has been made to feel the force of the
penalties of the law,” because ot his poverty,arid ;
whoever asserts to the contrary are liars and .
Sase slanderers. Tlieir assertions are with- I
out basis ; and 1 appeal to the observation of
Riose who have rA'iuMed and bow occupy posi
tions to witness and Ifnmv my official conduct,
fpr their sanction and truth ot what J. here assert.
I have ever been prompt, faithful, fearless and i
Impartial in the discharged life duties cf my
office, and lam perfectiy willing that every act
and rpotive, for that in my official capaci'y should
be made bare to the world, and 1 cheerfully invite
tlie scrutiny of my fellow citizens to those acts and
every motive which have operated upon iny offi
fcjal conduct since I have been in office. I have
done my duty without tlie expectation of thanks
and compliments, and without reference to tiie
opinions of Grand Juries or any other body of
men, my motives have been higher and superior.
As to the ability and efficiency which I have |
discharged those duties, 1 leave to tlie decision
of loose who are able to judge.
One word more in arldiifoii to the nolli pros- ,
jqOIS which I have allowed, they are always I
against my pecuniary interest—fur if the cases nol j
pros'd, were pressed to conviction, the fines im
posed would he appropriated to tire fragment cf
my orders for the costs on insolvent cases.
But as to the opinion of your Grand Juries
rendering it more difficult to procure nol. pros.,
allow me to say, that whenever there is no.other
Objection to the nol. pressing of a Presentment or
Indictment, than the opinion of a Grand Jury,
they will always bf granted upon their paying j
ihe costs of the prosecution, and when they will
not do that, the defendants may take verdict. 1
am under superior and weightier obligations to
discharge my duty faithfully than the opinions ol
any man or body of men ; and I shall, as hereto
fore, discharge my duty with that discretion al
lowed by the Legislature.
I ragret exceedingly to nppear before the |
public wirh this communication, but your un
just editorial forces me, in justice to my own
character, to do so—my regret is from delicacy,
in agitating such matters before tire public—nos
from fear, tor I have nothing to fear, or to lose
from its agitation.
Very respectfully,

From the New York Herald.
Tlie United States and Spain.
Tlie Government is at last in earnest, and de
minds immediate restitution of Spain The El
Dorado outrage ceme in timely relief to the
President, pre.-sed as lie was by his fillibusterir.g
constituents on the one hand, to whose com
plaints he at all times gave a rcadv hearing, but
whose pretensions were unwillingly made to
yield to the peace arguments of Marcy and Sen
ator Benton. The case as it stood between the
United States and Spain was sufficiently embar
rassing, nnd tlie instructioiisorigiiially prepared
for Mr. Dodge, left tlie alternative of immediate
compliance to our government demands on the
part, of Spain, or tlie withdrawal, at an early pe
riod of our new Minister from tlie court of Sipain.
Mr. Pierce, since tlie outrage upon tlie El Do
rado, breathes more freely, and expresses him
self more firmly and readily as to his intentions,
aid iii these views l,e finds an honest supporter
in Marcy and every member of his cabinet. It
ris s.vd ttwt d— jm+c *r..Try oiittieir way
to Gen. Couclia, calling for redress, and express
ing tlie detenniiiation of tlie United States either
to have it at once, or to resort to such means as
are invested in tiie President by tire constitution
ot Ids couiiir;. A repeal of Hie neutrality laws
between tlie United States and Spain, which is
openly.-pi ken olas having found lavor with tlie
Administration, a ill at once open the way to tlie
success of ut! exiedilion that, but for tlie active
sagacity and energy of Secretary Marcy, would
belore this have .aught Couclia iliat the Anvri
ican feeling had not been crushed out in tlie
butchery of Lopez and his liitie band, I have
reason to believe that Gen Cj litrpdu is now in
correspondence * itli tire President and Secretary
of War, acquainting them of the fact that a
movement upouitlie 1-laud of Cuba is iiscbntein
plation, uni thacanv effort locheck it nm.v olithe
part of tlie UnitAi Slates will tt?minute disas
trously, both to (he expedition and to those sent
against it by (lie United States. Tlie General
does not admit Mm*elf as having anythin*; to do
with it, but it is well known here to his personal
friends that lie ispreparing the materials for an
early march, hacsed by General Henderson and
not a few of the popular officers of the army, who
are only waiting orders to resign llieir com
mission into the hands of ihe President, audio
engage in a mors active life. 1 can express
confidence in tliii assurance, that the El Dorado
afi'iirwill not be sent for settlement to Spain.
Tim President dues not intend embarrassing re
newed demands with declarations of furllior
grievances, which would thereby afford an apol
ogy lor Ini tlier delays, and llius defeat the prin
cipal object ot tlie mission which is about to be
entered try our new Minis er. The belief is
honestly entertained by the President that lievvill
find a ready support in lire people,should Ire now
resort lo extreme measures in <J ‘■fence of tlie
country s honor and reputation, which have so
wantonly .and frequently been assailed by tlie
Spanish government. Forney and Cushing omit
no opportunity to lurce upon the President tire
conviction ifiat the present is his moment to
.-trike, add that all lie lias lost in public estima
tion is lo he rog lined by an unhesitating bold
policy, which presents itself in the late outrage
upon the El Dorado.
Tiie American Organ.
We have upon our table ibis able exponent of
the aims and o-jects ol the American organiza
tion, and advise all who take an interest in tlie
cause, or who wish to understand tlie correct
piincipies of the new party, to subscribe for tlie
Organ. The terms of l lie Weekly are: Fora
single copy per year, $2; 3 copies §5 ; 10 cop
ies §ls. Address “American Organ,” Wash
ington City.
We find nol hi rig in tiie “Organ” !o confirm tiie
charges of tlie Georgia Democratic press that
either it or the patty whose, cause it espouses
fivor.-j tlie agitation of the slavery question. On
tlie con'rury, the Editor avows Ins determination
to “compromise with none” who persist m such
agitation. V’ bile denying that the Know Noth
ing's lavored the election of Mr. Seward, llie ed
itor takes occasion to show the evident anxiety
of certain demagogues of tire Southern press to
triumph in shell a result, however detrimental to
Southern interests, if it ciiuld be made to subsetve
their hostility to lire American party. We make
the follow ing extract from an editu.ial in ihe
number before us, showing op the beautiful r ou
-isiency of these great Southern Champions :
[Am* ricati Union.
“Well, he (Seward) was re-elected, and how
was the news received bv those same piesresaud
politicians ? Was it received with sorrow and
regret at tlie ttiuuiph ot intrigue ami knavery ?
Not at ail. Witli an appeal to llie honest and
conservative portions ol all parties and sections
tube on their'guard against tlie machinations of
this arch intriguer ? By no means —but, on the
contrary, liis ejection was hailed with an evident
rejoicing and delight. The interests of the coun
try, and the peace and safety of tlie Union, were
forgotten iii file supposed compromise of tlie
principles of the American parly! Ail tiie ap
pliances of tlie lowest deinagogueism, and the
most barefaced mendacity were resorted to, in
tlieir efforts to prove, taut ilierewasan affiliation
ot the “Know Nothings” with the “Higher law”
disunionism and mural peijury of Sewardism.
“So pertinaciously was it declared by these
kennel presses and tlieir votaries, that Seward
had been elected by Know Nothing votes, that
fora few days there was an evident reaction
against the I, American party,” throughout a por
tion <>f ihe But as soon as tire truth was
made known, and it appeared itmt bo JCuow
Nothings did not vote lor him, but used every
exertion to deieat hiin, the dmvard inarch of tiie
party was lestimed. The Know Nothings be
longing to tlie genuine national order stood firm
-nd true, whilst a portiunoi the Democrats voted
for him and many others held back tlieir voles,
declaring that they should h>? given to Seward, it
they were necessary lo elect him!”
Slavery and Kn >w Nothing mi in the New
York Legislature.—Mr. lLobertson, a mem
ber of the tie Ward or Foreign party j has intro
duced a series of resolutions into the New York
j Legislature. These rescutiorts stigmatise tlie
i Know Nothing party, its policy and its object,
j They also employ strung language respecting
j the repeal of the Missouri restriction, declare a
determination not to admit any mure Slave States
into tlie Uuiiun, and pronounce tlie fugitive slave
law unconstitutional !
A good juke is related in the Wilmington Her
ald, on Gov: Bayley, ofVa ; by way of retalia
tion, for Iris anecdotes of Beau Hickman’s refu
sing to acknowledge N. Ca., as liis native Slate
for line dollar. It is this—ln one of the Gover
nor’s speeches in Congress, lie used tlie stereo
type phrase of tlie’’Old Dominion” being tlie
mother of Statesmen. Gov. Gale, of Alabama,
who was a member of Congress at that time,
said in a whisper loud enough tube heard : She
used to be but site stopped breeding a long time
since.”
Santa Anna has whipped the Revolutionists of
Mexico, and returned victorious lo the Cupilal.
Alvarez had fled.
“The Mysteries of Trade.” —Our friend
from W :t told a good story the other day
of a pack peddler, who was exposing certain
wares for sale at auction not a thousand miles
from here. Mounting his stand, lie commenced :
“ Shentlemens, here ish von very splendid-pock
et lianchief—how much am I offered for it 1 —
Five cent! five cents! slioost a going at five
cents ! Vere ish dat shenteelman va: I see blow
his nose wit his coat sleeve toder day ? Five
cent ! fivecerit! goin, goin at only five cent! von
very , fine silk ham-hies! Goin, goin, gone ! to
Mr. Cash, “ at five cent !”
A voice in tiie crowd :
“I don’t see how lie can sell at that price.”
“O, I manage dat very easy—l hash von prod
er at te Nort vot can steal mure tail I can sell at
any price!”

It given alike tncliifdren of tlie most tender age

I-isomest. it allays the most intense pains in a

the flesh to :lie bone, relaxes contracted cords,
cures rheumatism and palsied limbs of twenty
years’ standing; also tumors, swelled neck,en

for ailments of cattle ever discovered, curing

Sun pain of 10 years standing cured by H G
Farrell’s Arabian Liniment.
Mr. 11. G. Farrell.— Dear Sir: I had been af
fleted with sun pain for tlie last ten years and
could never get relief except by bleeding;
but by tlie use of 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Lini
ment,applied over the tmple about three or four
jimes a day, it was entirely removed and I have
i’eltncithing of it since. 1 went into tlie stable
One night, to apply it to a horses sore leg, and
being very lame lie stumbled and fell against my
legs, crushing and bruising them so badly that
they turned black as my hat, rendering them pow
erless. I applied your liniment, and was well
enough in a lew days to go about again as usual
I aho crushed my finger in a shocking manner,
by letting a back log fall on it; your liniment
suou healed it up though.
JOHN B. M’GEE.
Ba Salle precinct, Peoria co., 111. Feb 6, 1849.
Gsq. Baker, of New Canton, 111., says : Mr.
H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment lias cored some
tiad cases hero, which every other remedy had
failed in; one was a white swelling and contract
ed Curds in the leg of a boy twelve years old.—
Tlie leg had withered away, and was so contract
ed that lie had no use of it. Three doctors had
tried tlieir skill upon it in vain, and lie was last
sinking to the grave, when the boy’s father was
induced to try 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment.
Before the first bottle was used up lie came to
Mr. B’s store, and tlie first words lie said were
“Mr. Baker, 1 want all tliai Liniment you have
in tlie store ; tlie one bottle I got did my boy
more good than all that had ever been done be
fore.” That boy is now well and hearty, aud
has free use of his legs It is good lor sprains
bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.
.. Look out for Counterfeits*
, The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which lias finely made its appearance,
called \V. B. Ferrell’s Arabian Liniment, tlie
most dangerous of all tlie counterfeits, because
Iris having tlie name of Farrell, many will buy it
in good faitli, without tlie knowledge that a coun
terfeit exists, and they will perhaps only discover
their error When tlie spurious mixture has
wrought its evil effects.

A'HAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.
Every woman should know that if she is in poor, sickly,
debilitated condition of health, making existence a burden
to herself and a source of painful anxiety to her relative*
and friends, and perhaps, (horrible rejection 1) entailing
and inflicting her own maladies and sufferings upon her
children, that It is her duty to understand why and from
what cause her sufferings arise, that remedy and relief
may, while yet there is time, be availed of, the causes be
avoided in future, and her health restored* that she ns*/
be fitted for the duties and capable of the enjoyment* of
life.
Let every Woman look at the emaciated form, the death
like complexion, the dcvp-buried, lustreless eye, the sunk
en cheek, the gloomy and depressed spirits, the shattered
nerves, the prostrate and helpless condition of many a
wife, mother, daughter, or sister, if not herself Included,
within her own circle, whose days are days of agony, and
ask herself, “Must ties continue? Must this b? La
there no remedy ? No relief? No hope?”
The remedy is 1 v knowing the causes and nvoM : g
them, and knowing the remedies and benefiting by theia.
These are pointed out in

PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION.

Every complaint to which a woman is'subject, from girl •
hood to womanhood, ns also as wife and as mother, aro ful
ly described, with the causes, the symptoms, and also pro
per mode of treatment, in a plain, simple, but in the uiovt
chaste language, easily understood. And thus every w*.
man can discover, bv comparing her own symptoms with
descriK 1, the nature, character, and causes of li*r
complaint, an-’, ..•o spared much anxiety ami suffering.
The vtife about Irrcotnrug a mother has often need of
Instruction and advice of the utmost importance to hr
future health, in respect to which her sensitiveness for
bids consulting a medical gentleman, will find such in
struction and advice, and also explain many symptom*
which oilier , ire would occasion anxiety or alarm.

which thei , **de!'cacy forbids seeking medical ndvjcc ? llow

or from. f.ui>r ullniA (weakness, debility,-&c.) ?. [low many
are in constant agony for many months preceding confine

eries, and slow and uncertain recoveries? Some whoa*
livgs at e hazarded during such time, will each find in it*
pages the moans of prev-.-rdon, amelioration and relief.
How many bitter moments, how nmgii anguish, might
have been spared to the sufferer, to.her husband, to ltor
rcla'ivv ? by the Lime.y possession of this little volume.
It is impracticable to convey fully the various subject*
treated r.\ as they are of a nature strictly Intended for
the niarric ;, or those contemplating marriage.
Hut no husband, wife or mother are excusable if they
still continue in ignorance of those physiological laws, by
the knowledge of which their own health and happiness,
as also the futu? e weil-l cing of their children, are
