FICE AT THE END Ol' EACH WEEE, ACCORDING TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE NEW PCSTOFFICE LAW. SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23. 1S?7. LOCAL MATT ? RS. CHANGE OF ScBOtnuLr,-The steamer Matanzas, which was advertised to sail for New York ou Saturday, has been detained, and will not leave until further notice. ACCIDENT.-About 10 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Christopher Zeely, a workman employed on a building, fell from the second story to the ground, and, striking upon bis knee, split open and frac? tured the bone. Assistance was at once procured, and the injured man taken to his house. A SERIOUS AFFRAY.-A difficulty occurred on Monday, about eight miles from Chester C. H., be? tween Joshua Carter and Wesley Davis, in which the latter was stabbed, it is feared mortally, in the breast. Curt?r was arrested and lodged in jr... Mr. Davis, at last accounts, was still alive, with but little chance of recovery. The difficulty grew out of a quarrel in which other parties were in? volved. THE CHARLESTON CLUB HODS*.-This house bis sow been thoroughly refitted aid furnished as a place for public entertainments. The large hall is admirably adapted for society dinners or suppers, and was recently secured for this purpose by the Board of Commissioners of the Marke', for their annual dinner. The Club House has even- con? venience possessed by the other Halls of the city, and its location renders it a suitable place for balls, parties, or any public entertainments. THE THEATRE.-At the Theatre, lat t night, the audience was the best ot the season, "'he company are now accustomed to their now sc me of action, and the community is loaming to appreciate thc efforts being made for their entertainment. Leap Tear went off without a hitch, and was tvarmly applauded throughout. Particular praise wat given to the sprightliness of Miss Clifford as Mts* O'leary, to the grace of Miss Vaneo as Ftoru Floteerden, to tho humor of Chfford as Lnnifae, and to the dignity of Mr. Templeton as Walker. The after piece Po-ca-lton-tas, which was played with great spirit and effect. To-night the programme ia the Seven .Vis; er? and he Limerick Boy. The famous Black Crook will be produced next week. _ Tm ELECTION IN THE INTERIOR.-Voting has evidently affected the brains of some of the newly fledged at the country precincts and induced them to believe that when they became voters they were also lawgivers. At Winnsboro' a colored conser? vative who did not believe in the blessings of radi? calism was threatened with violence by some mem? bers of the Union League, and was compelled to leave the town to avoid his persecutors. At Gadsden seventy-two black Repubhcans, who were anxions to "posit dere ticket," were debarred I from exercising that privilege'on account of their | singular forge tininess. They could not remember the carnee under which they registered, and the managers, not" being able to prompt them, the country and the cause wire deprived of their valu? able assistance._ THE OLD TRADE OE CHARLESTON.-Among the hotel arrivals of the past few flays it is pleasing to note the faces of many old and valued customers of Charleston, those staunch friends to tho Pa-, mette city, who still uihert to their former alle? giance, and believe that goods can be purchased as cheap here as at the North. Their presence in the city has caused a little spirit of trade, which has brightened the faces of our business men, lightened their stocks, and caused a few more shipments of goods to be made. Mr. John Tyson, of Anson ville, Anson county, N. C., is one of these old merchants, who has long mide Charleston his headquarters, andi though she is now in the days of her adversity, be has not forgotten her. lt is the merchants of this class that are expected to Hussain Charleston, for they have tried her often and have never found ber wanting. Mr. Tyson is one of the old supporters ol the Charleston trade, and his presence in the city is a proof that the old North State has not forgotten the ties that connect her with the city by the se* BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.-A meeting of the Stock? holders of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company in South Carolina was held on Thursday, 21st inst, at the Mayor's office in this city. Hon. P. C. Gaillard, Mayor, was called to -he .Chair. W. H. D. Gaillard, Seen.,arv, read the minute's cf the last meeting, which were confirmed. The President submitted the Report of the Board of Directors, which was approved and or? dered to be printed The Report of the Superintendent, Secretary and Treasurer was read and ordered to be filed Hon. Edward Frost offered the following reso ' Jution, which was adopted : Resolved, That the Stockholders of this Compa? ny have undiminished confidence in the import? ance of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and of its ulti? mate success. That they approve of the efforts now being made by the Board to insure its early .completion, and authorize and request the Board ito continue such efforts. On motion of Mr. George A. Trenhohn, the eler ition for a Board of Directors for the ensuing -year was held, when the following Board was .elected: Ho?. P. C. GAILLARD. A. F. LEWIS. CHAR. T. LOWNDES, t. B.

Account. * differ as to her death, some stating that she was boiled in in a cauldron, while others assert that she was left for days to expire, after being half decapitated From some inexplicable cause the practice was introduced of hiving concerts OM the 22d of November, the day dedicated to Saint Cecilia, and she was universally regarded aa the patroness of all musical entertainments. The concerta given on the 22d gradually gave place to the more fascinating dance, and the votaries of Terpsichore have, for some years, celebrated each recurring anniversary by a St. Cecelia Ball. The St Cecilia Society of this city have 'ong been in the habit of giving annual balls on this day, and though the war and its consequent evils have sadly impaired their resorces, they still adhere to the old practice. BRICK CLEANING.-It is an old and tree saying that "the fashion of this world passeth away," and having looked on ruins until their beauty,"poetrv and romance have been thoroughly exhausted, it is pleasing to note that a change is being made in the scenery. The pick-axe has been laid at thc root of the old walls, and they are now fast crum? bling before the blows dealt by Alric's sturdy sons. J?or some time this necessary labor bas been aban? doned, but it ii. 'leasing to notice that there are ?orne property owners who yet believe in the ulti? mate prosperity of our city, and are determined to aid practically in the great work of reconstruction. The burnt walls and chimney stacks that have so long presented anything but a picturesque appear? ance, are graduaUy disappearing before tho attacks of the ebon laborers, and in different parts of the city neat piles of bricks are to be seen in the place of the old ruins. At tho corner of East Bay and Laurens street preparations are now being made for rebuilding, and the old ivy clad house so long known as Madame DnPre's seminary may soon rise from its ashes an improvement on its former appearance. The workmen are also busy tearing down the old walls at tho corner of Meeting and Queen streets, and though the work or rebuilding may not be immediate, a grand step is made, as the ground is ?leared for future action. Brick cleaning is, however, not confined to these two lo? calities. The piles a.' cleaned brick may be seen io every part of the city, and aa soon as prosperity returns and brighter prospects open, these piles viii be made available, and the wilderness be made to blossom like the roi?. Th* Sea Island Tax Titlet. A TEST QUESTION. UNITBD STATIS DISTRICT COUBT.-Before His Honor Jud^o iJryan_Ex parle Ephraim M. Bar? nard, Executor of Wm. E. Baynard, vs. the United States. Counsel for the United States, Major D. T. C <rbin; for the plaintiffs, Mesara. W. Wbaley, Mitehell ami Clancy. 'ibis was a case of appeal from the decision of tho Direct Tax Commissioners, with reference to laud* on tho Sea Islands which have been sold for taxes, and derives great importanco from the fact that it has been made a test question for a large class of similar cases which have arisen during and sinco t he wur. It will be remembered that the General Assembly at ?ts last session appropriated live thousand dollars for tho purpose of securing a thorough legal investigation of the subject. Tho chief features of the case, as stated by Wm. Wbaley, Esq., counsel for defence, are as follows : Thi.t William E. Baynard, in his life time, owned Muddy Crook, Spanish Wells, and Braddock's "oin c. He also owned other real estate, which was either redeemod from the Tax Commissioners or restorad by the Bureau. The whole amount of taxes due by Mr. Baynard, including the penalty and costs, did not amount to the stun of $700, and vas paid by tho sale of Muddy Creek, which was the placo first sold for taxes. Then followed the Hale of Spanish Wells for $900, and Braddock's Point for $1000. It appears from the evidence that the property was sold on the 1st of Oc'obcr, 1863; that the time for rodemptiou expired on the 1st of December, 1865, and that Mr. Baynard's applica? tion to the Bureau, dated 29th September, 1865, was transferred, by order of General Saxton, to the office of the Direct Tax Commissioners on the 21st November, 1865. Thereupon, direct application was made to the Commissioners by Mr. Baynard, through his Solicitor, in November, 1865, and be foro the expiration of the time limited by law. The Commissioners refused the application for redemption on the ground that Mr. Burnard had not complied with the provisions of tho law, where? as the circumstances do sliow that he did comply in spirit, and in fact, and in accordance with the universal cinstruction given to statute law. The grounds of appeal taken by the learned counsel were : 1. That tho application to the Freedmen's Bu? reau was for restoration, and when said applica? tion was transferred to the Tax Commissioners, it was dne and sufficient notice to them of an appli? cation for redemption. 2. That the memoranda and schedule of planta? tions filed by the Solicitor of Mr. Baynard with the Tax Commissioners was proper notice to them of an application for redem ption. 3. That the application of tho solicitor was the application of the principal in the case, and, under tho law, unquestionably sufficient. i. That the sale of Braddock's Point and Spanish Wells was illegal and void, in view of the fact that the previous sale of Muddy Creek had produced thc amount necessary for the payment of the en? tire tax on the entire property. 5. That the sale being illegal in part, was illegal ab inilio. The counsel in a concise and eloquent manner reviewed the Act of Congress of August, 1861, impo? sing a general tax upon South Carolina of $363, 570.66. Section 13 provides for the assessment and exemptions. Section 36 provides for the sale of land, and redemption afterwards. It also provides that the tax should first be collected from the goods and chattels of tho delinquent with power to distrain. It farther provides that where the property is not divisible so as to enable the Tax Collector, by the sale of a part thereof, to satisfy hi9 claim, he may sell the whole and bid it in for the United States, with the right of redemption in two years. Thia Act was followed by the Tax Act of 1862, which gives a right of appeal to this Court i rom the decision - of the Tax Commissioners, and the District Court is authorized to . .o jurisdiction of the same as in other cases involving the equity of redemption. His Honor is therefore sitting here aa a Judge in Equity. Section 1 charges the direct tax upon the lands, the assessment being according to the State valua? tion of 1861, with a penalty of fifty par. cent, in case of tardy payment, ?ection 3 gives the owner the right to pay in sixty daya and discharge the lien. Section 4 vests the title after sale in the United States or purchasers. The other provisions of this Act were amended by the Act of 1863, with which we havo more es? pecially to deal in the present case. Thia Act pro? vides that each lot shall be sold teparaleiy after tour weeks notice in the newspapers or three pub? lic plaoea. The ownor is allowed to redeem within sixty dava, upon appeAring in his own proper per? son and taking the oath, if a citizen, and paying the taxes, penalty and coots. If a minor, a non? resident alien, a loyal citizen beyond the seas, a person of unsound mind, or ander a legal dis? ability, tho guardian, trustee, or other person haring charge of the estate may redeem the same at any time within two years after the sale there? of in the manner above provided and with like effect. Mr. Baynard had conformed to these require? ments of tho law. He had taken tho oath; ho was not engaged in the war; ho was present in person and by bis counsel when application for redemp? tion waa made and prepared to satisfy the claims against the prop?rty. The learned counsel cited analogous cases in the books, quoting the decisions of the Circuit and Supreme Courts in determination of the chief points of bis argument. We omit these authori? ties, as not being matters of general interest. The following were his concluding remarks: Your Honor, I am done. If I have trespassed upon your patience, or occupied your attention for an undue length of time, it in because of the great interests at stake in the decision of this case. In its various bearings it is a case of grave importance, and one which nas commended itself not more to my judgment than to my feelings. When we turn our eyes to Beaufort, that lovely spot, where, in times past, has been congregated so much of the representative wealth and intelli? gence with which we are f atniliar, and think of tho sad contrast between the present and a happy past, how that fair land has been blighted, its pal? ace bornes desolated, and its people driven abroad, it is impossible to dwell upon the theme with any other than a melancholy remembrance, or to feel that we shall not receive justice wherever our sol? emn cause is heard. Major D. T. Corbin, United Slates District At? torney, in reply to the argument of the counsel in the defence, made the following pointa : Under the provisions of the law imposing the tax of $363,570 66 on South Carolina, and the acts amendatory thereto, the land of the plaintiff was sold December 1,1863. It is especially not^d in advance that the consti? tutionality of the Acta of August 5, 1861, and June 7, 1862, and Acts amendatory thereof, is not in question. Nor is there any question as to thc as? sessment and collection of the toa, the time and manner of the sale, or the title passed by the Bale, No such questions are mooted, and noshing will be said of them in the argument, i The Act under whir)) the land waa aold provides j/-? ??demption and if its requirements i n that re"Bpt^fc are .complied with, then the petitioner is entitled f?d60111 ; if not, the law must take its course. Lai?** HC!l* for dehi-quent taxes may be redeemed bv " a non residont, alien, &c; hythe guardian, ti^toc wether person having charge of the person <* such person," ut any time within two yea?? ?"wtt-e sale thereof in the following manner : L He must appear in his own pr??PCT pwaou be? fore the Board of Tax Commissioners. $> " a ?sen, he musttako the oath to support tho' Con? stitution of the United States. 3. He must pa\v the tax and penalty with interest from the date of the President's proclamation at the rate of fifteen per centum, together with the expenses of sale and subsequent proceedings. The Tax Commissioners, appointed under the Act of June 7,1862, are ministerial officers, and are bound to tho faithful performance of ah duties as such. Whore discretion is given to them by the , statute, they must exercise it in good faith; and where tho statute is positive and definite, they are bouud to abide by its provisions. As to the man? ner of redemption, they have no discretion. Where au applicant fails to comply with the terms of the law, the Commissioners have no power to aid him, and he, therefore, cannot redeem. It has not been pretended, in the argument of the counsel for the plaintiff, that the petition was :i petition to redeem. Then it does not conform to tho law. But if it were, can that be regarded as a personal appearance before the Commissioners nu appearance attended by the payment of money or thc taking of an oath-things essential to be done before an indi vidual can redeem ? No Court would dare to nu'iify a law by such a construction. What does the petition ask? The application tiled with General Saxton asks for a "return" of the land. First, Who is Goucral Saxton, and what had ho to do with it ? He ia a military officer, with special functions - namely, the care "and con? trol of tho colored people. He is not a com? mander, and pretends to no such powers. Thia paper is thrown into his office. Not having any? thing to do with the matter, he sends it to the Tax Commissioners. There ia a note on the back which says : "Delivered to the Tax Commissioners November 21, 18C7." This is not evidence of its receipt by them, for the clerk who signed it ia not an officer authorized to sign or maka up a record, ? Suppose, however, it was received by the Commia aioners, ie thia a compliance with the law ? Most assuredly not. Hence where is the right to re deoui ? Tbc Commissioners only could havo en? dorsed that paper as they did the one presented by Mr. Whaley ut their office-namely, "Sold De? cember 1,1868, tor taxes, and now redeemable by minora." This information tho petitioner was bouud to notice, as it waa a matter of record. But having obtained it, could he redeem bis laud un? der any different rule than the one given by the Statute ? Certainly not. The paper left by tho counsel for tho plaintiff was not a potition to re? deem, not a compliance, and hence so.-urcd no right. But suppose the paper handed to the Tax Com? missioners by the couusel before the 1st of Decem? ber, 1865, had been an application to redeem. What then? He is not "the guardian, or trustee, or other porson, having charge of the person or estate of the minor." He cannot take the oath for them ; if he could ho did not offer to do so ; and be must still pay the tax, interest, penalty and ex? penses within the two years limited by tho statute, before he can redeem. Did he do this or offer to do it ? No claim is made that he did. Finally, the United States District Attorney in? sisted : 1. That it was not within tho power of the Com? missioners to allow the redemption of tho land of the petitioner after the 1st of Eecember, 1865 ; and 2. The appearance and tender of the money for taxes, inte* est, &c, not having boen made prior to December ., 1865, tho time for redemption passed, and the petitioner has no remedy in this form of action. The Court reserved ita decision. HOTEL ABP.IVALS.-Mills House.-J. Nichols, Bos? ton; Mrs. J. P. MorriB, children and Bervant, Phila? delphia; J. M. Fisher, Philadelphia; Lymott B. Bout, Utica, N.

Name changed by a legislative enactment to the Eclectic .Ved:cal col? lege, of Philadelphia, in 1860. In 11163 it purchased tho Pennsylvania Medical college, established in 134?, and the Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously been merged into the Pennsylvania Medical < 'ollegc. tu 1864 it purchased the Fenn Medical Umvursity. Tnc Trustees of tho separate schools united, petitioned and obtained a special Act of the Legislature, consolidating these institutions and changing thoir names to that of tho Philadelphia University of Medicino and Surgery, March IS, 1865. All these various Acts aro pu bli bcd in the statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost ot tho 1 uilding and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars.
