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, JNO. LYON, Sol. Gen’l, , “ South-Western Circuit. ■ To Chas. W. Hancock, Esq., n Editor of fSuinter Republican, Atnericus, Ga. 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 !

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. ..

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 THE MARRIED WOMAN’S PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION. Dtf DU. A. M. MAURICEAU, Bonrssoa or diseases or womkx. One hundredth Edition (500,000). ISnro., pp. 209. [ox FIXE PAPER, EXTRA BIXDfXO, $1 00] 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. llow many are suffering from obstructions nr irregulari ties peculiar to the female system, which under min* tl# health, the effects of which they arc ignorant, and fr which thei , **de!'cacy forbids seeking medical ndvjcc ? llow many suffei from prolitpsii* nt> ri (sassing of the womb), or from. f.ui>r ullniA (weakness, debility,-&c.) ?. [low many are in constant agony for many months preceding confine ment? How many have difficult, if not dangerous deliv 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 “THE M\U!’I!.D WOMAN’S PRIVATE MUD I CAL COMPANION ” is a standard work of established reputa tion. found classed in the eatcburucs of tlie great b ad* sales in NeW York, Philadelphia, and other cities, and sold by all the principal booksellers in the United State*.
