HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
MOTION TO QUASH THE INDICTMENT AGAINST
HIM-ARGUMENT OF HON. ROBERT O?LD, COUN?
SEL FOB THE BBISONEB.
RICHMOND, December 3.-In tbe United
States Circuit Court to-day, Chief Justice
Chase on tbe beach, tbe argument commenced
on the motion to quash the indictment against
Mr. Davis. Hon. Robert Ould, counsel for the
accused, argned that the fourteenth amend?
ment punished Mr. Davis by disfranchisement,
and th At this punishment was chosen by the
voice of tbe American people as a merciful
substitute for the penalties of death and con?
fiscation contained in the constitution; that
this punishment by his disfranchisement com?
menced upon tbe date of the adoption of the
fourteenth article, and that be could not now
be punished in any other way; that the latest
expression of the will of the people in the con?
stitution is law,and repeals all former provisions
made for tLosa who.were in rebellion. That
the 14th amendment was the latest expression
of tbs people's wflJ,' and was expressly intend?
ed for and covered all cases, and that no man
can be punished twice for the same offence.
R. H. Dana, counsel for the government, said
that Oald'e proposition was in the nature
of things unexpected and entirely new.
It was unexpected to the counsel for the
government, and he presumed it was surpris?
ing to the court. The Chief Justice announc?
ed that the argument of counsel was not un
* expected to. the court, it having supposed,
after this motion to quash the indictment was
stated to be based on tho l?th amendment,
that this line of argument would be pursued.
The counsel for the government were given
time to confer, and at noon the CD wt took a
recess.
After the reassembling of the court, Gover?
nor H. H. Wells and District Attorney Beach
for the government replied, contending that
the fourteenth amendment merely created a
disability and not a penalty, which is tbe sub?
ject of judicial sentence, and was not incon?
sistent with the act against treason. The
amendment was permanent and prospective,
and could not necessarily be construed as in?
tended to repeal existing punishment for past
and future treason. The court then ad?
journed.
Dana oleses to-morrow for the government,
and O'Conor for Davis.
The corner-stone of the monument to the
Confederate dead was laid in Hollywood Ceme?

ing to perform surgical operations in violation

structions to report as soon as practicable:
Whereas, More than three years have elapsed
since the conclusion of the war for the supre?
macy ot the Government of the United States;
and, whereas, a large portion of the citizens of
South Carolina are held under political bonds
by the Congress of tho United States because
of their sympathy for or participation in the
late war against the United States; and, where
as, we regard the punishment of thia class of
our citizens as having boen equal to the de?
mands of justice, and thattbey are willing and
anxious in good faith to renew their allegiance
to the Federal Government; and, whereas, we
believe a course of conciliation and forgiveness
is best calculated to secure tho blessing of har?
mony, peace and prosperity to all classes of our
people; and, whereas, his Excellency the Gov?
ernor, in his message to the General Assem?
bly, has earnestly recommended that Congress
be memorialized to remove all political disabil?
ities from the citizens of South Carolina; there?
fore, be lt
Resolved, by the House of Representatives
of the State of South Carolina, the Senate con?
curring, That we hereby memorialize the Con?
gress ot the United States to remove the po?
litical disabilities from all the citizens of South
Carolina now laboring under tbe same.
Mr. Doyle (Democrat) introduced the follow?
ing, which were referred to the Committee on
Education:
Whereas, section 6 of General Order No. 139,
Headquarters Second Military District, entitled
"Appropriations for the year commencing Oc?
tober 1, 1867," among others, twenty-five thous?
and dollars is set apart for the support of free
schools, which amount remains in tho Treasu?
ry and undrawn; and whereas many teachers
in the State, on tho faith of said appropriation,
opened and taught their schools, admitting
poor scholars to the full benefit of instruction;
therefore, bo it
Resolved, by the House of Representativos,
the Senate concuzring, That the Treasurer of
the State be authorized and required to pay
over to thc school commissioners of the various
counties the pro rata share of the said appro?
priation due to each county.
Resolved. That each school commissioner, on
receiving the sharo duo to his county, shall
give reasonable notice, by advertisement or
otherwise, to teachers to re?der in their ac?
counts for tuition ot poor scholars, from the
lat of October, 18G7, to the 1st of October.
1868.

Commissioners of Free Schools for St. Philip's
and St. Michael's, for the year ending Septem?
ber SO, 1868. Referred to the Committee on
Education.
Mr. Mon ison introduced a bill to define the
duties of tho superintendent of education and
school commissioners. Read the first time
and referred to the Committee on Education.
IN THE SENATE, the subject of the election of
a Lieutenant-Governor by the ?enate, to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Judge Boozer, came mp, pursuant to a resolu?
tion fixing Wednesday for its discussion.
Mr. Corbin said that the election of a Lieu?
tenant-Governor was thought, by a hasty
glance at the constitution, to be within the
power of the Senate. This opinion had been
largoly entertained. It was entertained by
himself, not from an examination of the con?
stitution, but from an opinion expressed by
one of the Judges. Upon that expression of |
opinion, he suggested to the Senate the pro?
priety of an election. But upon a more careful
study of the c-institution he was satisfied tho
Senate has no such power. In conclusion, ho
offered a r?solution that thc Senate had no au
tuthority.to elect a Lieutenant-Governor, which
was agreed to.
Rev. Valentine Young made his appearance |
thia morning to qualify as senator elect from
Abbeville. It will be remembered that a card
appeared in the Abbeville papers, shortly after
the first election, to which was attached the j
namo of tho reverend Gentleman, disavowing ]
all identification with the Radical pjrty by 1
whom he bad been elected, and declining to ,
serve. Mr. Young not having appeared to i
quality at thc special session, a resolution, of- i
fered by Randolph just before its close, de- 2
daring a vacancy in the Senate from Abbovillo, c
in consequence of the refusal of Rev. Valen- c
tine Young to appear to qualify, was adopted. I
When called upon thiB morning to produce his j.
credentials, be stated that the official order i
sent him and signed by General Canby had J-1
been mislaid, but presented a copy of Goncral ^
Orders Iso. 79, declaring the election. The v
document was referred to tho Committee on J
Elections, who, as you have already boon in- 1
formed by telegraph, asked and obtained time j
to prepare their report. Some doubt is ex- I
pressed as to the admission of the gentleman a
to his seat. t
The following is a copy of the bill introduced r
by Wright to-day, which was read the first
time : *
A Bill entitled "A bill to amend an act" eDti- t
tied "An aot to establish a State police." c
Whereat, Information has been officially \
communicated to the Senate by tho Governor, c
in his message, that in some counties of this l
State the law is set -at defiance by organized j
bands and armed men, and that the lives of c
peaceful and unoffending citizens havo been c
sacrificed, their property destroyed and their t
liberties endangered; therefore,
Be it enacted by tho Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of South Carolina, \
now met and sitting m General Assembly, and t
by tho authority of the same: 1
SECTION L That the Governoi is hereby au- ]
thorized and empowered to maintain and as- t
sert the supremacy of the laws at all hazards,
and that, for this purpose, he is hereby au- t
thorizod and required to strengthen the consta- i
bulary force to any extent he may deem neces- f
Bary, or to adopt 'such measure cr measures i
as he may deem best calculated to enforo the
laws and protect the lives, liberties and prop- I j
erty or tho citizens; and when, in bid judg- | c
ment, it shall require more than thirty men to
preserve the peace and enforce tho laws in any
county or counties in this State, then in such
county or counties tho force shall bc increas?
ed as large as, in his judgment, ia proper. Aud
such force or forces shall bo quartered and
stationed a. such place or places as their chief f
or chiefs may direct, and shall receivo the 1
same pay and allowanco as that allowed to i
United States soldiers.
The President laid before tho Senate to-day
a communication from W. A. Schmidt, Inten?
dant of tho town of Ailten, and Hon. Z. Platt,
Judge of tho Third Circuit, addressed to Hon.
D. T. Corbin, acting Governor, iu tefcrence to
the establishment of a new county, with a
courthouse at Aiken, from portions of Barn
woll, Edgefield, Lexington and Orangeburg.
Mr. Corbin introduced the following concur?
rent resolutions, which were considered imme?
diately and agreed to:
Resolved, by the Sonate, tho House of Rep?
resentatives concurring, That the County
Commissioners of the several counties in the
State be required to report forthwith to tho
Attorney-General, who shall immediately trans?
mit tbe same to this General Ass mbly : 1.
Whether the provisions of sections ll and 12
of an act entitled "An act to define tbe juria
diction and duties of the County Commission?
ers/' passed September 26, 1868, have been
carried into effect by them. 2. If said provi
sions of said act have not been camed into
effect, thou said Commissioners shall roport {
the reason for the delay or neglect so to do.
8. How many days they have been in session
as a board, and bow many days they bavo per?
formed duty for which they claim per diem.
Resolved,' Tbat the Attorney-General be in?
structed to take all necessary steps to obtain ,
the roports herein called for.
Mr. Corbin said ho introduced thia resolution
from tho fact that he bad been informed that
tho county commissioners of many counties
had done nothing towards carrying into effect
tbs bill lo organize townships, and it was well
known to tho Senato that very much of the I j
legislation of tbo special eession, and very | 1
much of what was to bc dono this term, de?
pends upon tho organization of those town- 1
ships aa a basis of legisla! ic a. J'iu bill rogu- ]
lating the magner of drawing juries depended <
upou thc or^anizatlou ol' Iheso townships, and j
thc failure to organizo was tho causo of tbe ,
trouble now experienced in regard to that i
matter. The roads, bridges, highways, are all '
being r.egloctcd from thc sanio cause. When ,
the town officers neglect to perform their du- ?
ties, then the county commissioners take '
charge. The whole country, he said, was auf- j
fering from this neglect to carry into effect |
the provisions of that act. Taxes are to bo 1
assessed by the town officers; highways to bc !
worked and repaired; the towns divided into i
school districts, and so on. He hoped thc law
would be enforced at onco.
Mr. Allen, pursuant to notice, introduced a
bill to prevent the carrying of concoalod deadly
weapons, and for the punishment of tho same.
The bill was read a first time, and ordered for
consideration to-morrow.
TUE LATE OEOIiOE ir. WILLIAMS, Ol
y ORK COUNTY.
Proceedings in the United States Court
Tributes from members of rli? Bar.
[FROM OUR OWN Br.roRTER. )
COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, December 2.-At the
opening of the United States Court this
morning, bis Honor Judge Bryan presiding,
United States District Attorney Corbin rose
and said:
May U picase your Honor -It is my paiufnl
duty this morning, as an officer of thia Court,
to announce lo tbe Court the sudden and unex?
pected death of Hon. George W. Williams, au
attorney of this Court. Yesterday he was with
us. His pleasant and genial countenance was
aeen in this Court and upon thc street greet?
ing us everywhere. To-day ho bes a lifeless
corpse, a most wonderful exemplification of the
truth that "in tho midst of lifo wc arc in
death." Ho expired betwocn tho hours of five
and six tlus morning. I hava no extended re?
marks to make upon this sad eec sum. His
death has been DO uuddeu and so unexpected
to us all, there has been no opportunity
of time to cxprcsi ourselves in ex?
tended eulogy. Ae t ara informed, Air. Wil?
liams bas be.'u long au honored momberoi the
bar and ot this court. Ho has achieved that
success in his profession which it would bo the
highest pride of any lav.yer to attain. As a
man, he has boen most pure mid exalted in bis
ambitions and iu his principles. A leader in
his profession, as well aa a Christian and a
gentleman in privato fife, he has occupied
many high petitions in the State and in the
?tate government, a".*! I believe he hia
without an enemy. His name will alw
lonoied so long as the name of South G
ives, and his character will always be c
d as an example to the young. His sue
ife will always be sought to bo acbie
ithers. But to those who havo know
onger and moro intimately than myi
eave a more fitting tribute to his momoi
Major S. P. Hamilton then rose, and s;
May il please your Honor-lt becom
luty, upon the announcement just m
he District Attorney, to offer r.o the c
>rearable and resolutions, expressive
rreat sorrow at tbe death of our distingi
?.other, George W. Williams, of York. I
>ecau8o I believo I am the only member
Jar, from his own circuit, present in the
would that the task had been givon to
?ho eau speak with nnre knowledge ar
irecintion of thc virtues, abilitv and so
if our deceased brother. I would like tb
ulogium should come from tliose noan
iwn times; from the lawyers of his da'
bat from tho Bench of the Stale; from."
udges before whom he so long practice
irofession, might come a more fitting ti
0 his memory. In truth, 1 asked my fi
udge Munro, to come with mo before
lonor, and to say something of his life
iierit and bis worth; bat he said, wit
ear glistening in his eye, that bo had k
lim long, and loved him too well to trust
elf to give exoressiou to his feeliugs.
George W." Williams, may it please
lonor, was a native cf Lancaster Disti
rom that locality wh'tcb gave to our coi
tndrow Jackson. He was entered as a sti
t the university of tbis State early in lifo
believe, did not graduate. He immedi
ame to the bar af ter leaving college, ai
nco took rank as one of thc first men o
irofession.
As a lawyer, I may say, for accurai
nowledgo he had few equals, and no supei
lis profession was his first love, and time
icvor abated tho ardor with which he w
tis mistress. Of bim might be said, wha
ie Baid of but few of our brotherhood, tfa:
forked with intense zeal and great labi
rell without any pecuniary reward as i
Io is a great loss to bis profession, and to
ommunity where he resided it is irrepan
. had only known Mr. Williams three y
int bad been connected with him profession
.nd had learned to almire his great abil
.s a lawyer, and to love him as a man for
ruthfulness, simplicity and kindness oi
lature.
1 eeo, however, that some of Mr. Willii
nore intimate friends, and indeed his cl
oates, aro now present, and I will comm
hem tbe task ot speaking more approprie
if their departed friend. Before closin?
could like to make a statement concernai,
ivent connected with his life, for which,
taps, he may have received a portion of ill
is your Honor knows, last summer he
ilccted by tbe Legislature now sitting as
if thc Circuit Judges of the State, which, r
loUbcration, he declined. The parties
vere most zealous for his election were ct
lent of bis acceptance of the office, and v
lurt at his decimation, after tbe represe
ions made by bis friends. 1 had from hm
ipa, not long pince, his reasons for bis act
ie said "that there were certain enactment
ho constitution under which bo was to
lected which would be prominently be
he courts m every shape and form, and tl
n accepting tho judgeship, it might bo to
br granted that be would sustain these en
ucnts by his judicial decisions when they
?ot have tho sanction of his judgment as a 1
-er." Hia declination, therefore, was Dot
laprico of the moment, but caused by
ipirit af truth and by thc prompting? of a i
utivo honor.
Mr. Hamilton then read tho following |
mable and resolutions:
We havo received this morning the mon
ul intelligence of the death of Georgo
iVilliame, Esq., one of tho oldest and m
iromincnt members ot tho Bar of Smith Ca
ina. In thc midst of his usefulness, in
ul! tide or a large practice, whilst in acl
tttendauce on this court, the message of de
:ame tc him suddenly, '.sith scarce a warm
md tho large place he filled in the professi
ind in the State, has beon mado vacant. I
>ccoming at all times that tho Court and
Jar should give expression to their son
vhen death eaters into the profession. Es
.ially is this the ciso when one ot our bre
ea bas boon stricken down by our very si
vith thu harness of life's battle upon bim.
George W. Williams, Esq., w is a native
Lancaster, ia this State, and received his o<
lation ia our State institution. Called early
ho Bai', ho soon acquired an extensive pr
ice, and by bia profound learning, hi
diameter, and eminent professional abili
voa for himself a place iu the front raak
mr (irofession. A citizen of extensivo usef
less, he was repeatedly called by the popu
.Oleo to represent the District of York in t
state Legislature, uti t not long before 1
leath was cloded to a place OD tho bent
dib professional engagements having p:
routed him from accepting this high hom
10 was devoting himself to his large and i
sortant practico, wheu bia heart was chill
i>y thc hand of death.
Resolved, That it is with deep sorrow tl
:ourt and his brethren of tho ttar receive t
iniiou.iccmcnt of tho death of George W. W
?ams, of York.
ResoUe?, That in him South Carolina h
oat one of her truest sous, and the Har
louth Carolina oue of its brightest ornameni
Resoloed, That in respect to his memory th
rourt do now adjourn, and that a co; y ol the
?ebullitions bj seut to the family of thc d
:eased.
Mr. D. B. Pickling rose and said :
May ? please your Honor- Appalled as I a
jy tho suddon announcement of the death of n
Viend it is scarcely possible that I eau colic
Tty ideas to express as I should the doep fee
ng which filia my hoart.
But this moment, as I entered thc coori
louae, 1 heard tho terrible intelligence th
jeorge W. Williams was dead. I called on hi
k-estcrduy afternoon; bc \ias not in his roon
ae was out in tho discharge of his busbies;
ippareutly well, as little likely to die aa tiny ma
n this room. To-day he is laid low by tl
?land of death.
I have known George W.Williams long; lon
md intimately, that is, as intimately as two me
residing at great distance from ^ach other, h
jcing ni York aud I in Beaufort. I was i
college with bim. I was in his class, and
mew him lhere intimately and well. Hebel
:he first rank ia his class. No man stoo
?igbcr with the faculty and with tho stu
Luis, and Georgo Washington Williams ha
aot broken tho promise of bis youth. Unfot
unate circumstances caused him to leave col
eie with myself. lu the year 1827, the die
mrbance which arose in that year, as you
Honor may remember, almost broke up tin
colleges, leaving but one hundred and twent;
jtudeuts out of one hundred and fifty or eni
aundred and eighty. George W. Williams was
anhappily. one of those who did not remain tc
:oraplete" his education in the Alma Mater o
me state. Ho was then in the junior class
md was, if not of nge at that time, very ncarli
s6. tie devoted himself immediately to th<
study of the law, and came to the bar, I think,
n tho ppring or tall of 1828, very shortly aftei
eaviug college, and irom that time bc assum?
ed, in his district and State, the portion of t
awyor; and when I say lawyor I do not moan
jue who simply practices law, but one who hae
thoroughly Btudied his profession, and who
inderstands it perfectly. He discharged
:he duty which devolved upon bim with
m ability and fidelity never surpassed and
ioldotn equalled. Ho was early elected to
,ho Legislature of tho State trom the dis
net of York, where be practiced, and for
nany years he served his district and his State
n the councils of tho State, with a degree of
risdom, and earnestness and success with

THE BANK OF THE STATE AND Gt
ERNOJt SCOTT.
To the Public.
I observe in tho messago of Governor Sc
addressed to the Legislature convened in
lumbia, tho following paragraph in relatioi
"the Bank of the State," to wit :
"I recommend to the Legislature that sc
early action be taken to prevent the Cou
and officers of the Bank of tbe State fr
wasting and misapplying its assets to the p
mont of costs of court, attorneys' fees, i
ibo salaries of officers and agents. If
holders of the Fire Loan bonds are determit
to pursue the policy of disparaging the ere
and resources of tho State, when it must
apparent to them that no State of the Un
is moro solvent, or has a fairer prospect
Eromptly meeting all her liabilities, they abo
e compelled to carry on this litigation
their own expense. I nave reason to boin
that not less than sixty thousand dollars
(.old bas been squandered and made away w:
tor salaries of officers and agents who are p
forming no necessary duties, fees of attora
who are employed for tho purpose of bring
the credit ot the State into disrepute, and
other objects ot equally questionable proprie
The holders of the Fire Loan b onda shoi
be placed on tho samo footing as other ere
tors of tbe State, and they should be held
countable for all damages the State has a
taincd, or may sustain, by their unwarrai
able litigation."
I have not a word to say in self-vindicat
in reply to tho aspersions which the Goven
has thought proper to cast on the counsel
the bank, and of certain creditors of the bi
and the State. I trust that I am too v
known in this State, personally and professii
ally, to require it. Nor shall I undertake I
defence of "THE COUSTS," further than to p
tost, as a citizen, against this "unwarra
able" interference of the Executivo with I
Judiciary.
That tho Chief of tbe Executivo Departmi
should, in a message to tho Legislature, ti
publiclj rebuke tho highest judicial officert
the State, for an independent discharge
their functions, is one of the "innovations"
troduccd which, I think, is "T?O improcemer
Mr. Waring has published a card in behalf
tho bank and its officers, which, in my juc
ment, fully vindicates thurn.
I propose but a word in reference to my <
enta, Messrs. Baring Brothers & Co., of L<
don, and certain Fire Loan stockholders
New York.
The public will bo surprised to loam tl
neither the Fire Loan bondholders in Euro;
represented by the Barings, or thc Firo Lo
stockholders in America, have over institut
proceedings in court in assertion of th'
rights. Until tho 15th Soptombcr, 1808, tb
wer- beting, when acting at all, in accord a
harmony with the STATE in all its depa:
menta. Tho suit in equity, instituted by Da
ney, Morgan & Co. In beha'f of the Iiolden
the bills or notes of the bank, intioduced t
litigation. Tho purpose of that proceodii
was to appropriate the assets of thc bank
tho holders of ita bills or notes, and to accoi
p!?8h thia rosult claimed that "the courts,"./
Ute first lime called into requisition, sbou
disregard the pledges contained in the act <
1838, which directed that the profits of tl
bank should bo "aet apart" for the payment
interest on, and ultimato redemption of, tl
Fire Loan debt, and to aet asido tho act ot tl
Legislature of I860, confirming these pledge
and requiring that tho bank should hold the
assois "appropriated and sot apart," to ti
paymont of thia particular debt of the bat
and the Slate. The bill of Dabncy, Morgun
Co. was filed on tho 30th October, 1867; tl
bank answered on the 3d February, 1868; tl
Baringa on the 26th May, 1363, and Maria Sit
ons and others, in behalf of the Fire Lo;
stockholders in America, on the 15th Apr
1868. Thc answer of thc Attorney-General
behalf of the Stato was filed on the 3d Apr
1868.
The billholders were complainants, Bcekir
to set aside State legislation, and the bani
the Barings and others, wcro forced into 1
attitude of defence of what the State had don
While this case, involving the propriety of tl
action of tbe State through its constituted ai
thor i ties, from 1838 to 1865, was before tl
courts, the billholders being thc actors, an
directly attacking the past action of thc Stat<
and the bank and tbe Barings and others, no
blamed, tho defendants of tbe action of tit
Slate, tho Legislature passed the act of Se]
tember 15, 1868. This act provides satiafactc
rily for the attacking party. Thc billholden
who bad bought up tho bills for the mot
part at a nominal price, became suddoniy tb
favorites of the new Legislature, and the bill
of the bank issued previous to tiie 20th Decent
ber, 1860. were directed to be funded with in
tere8t at the rate of six per cent, per annur
from tbe date of presentation. The bondhold
cr], with bonds past due, who bad hilbert*
acted in har.nony with the Stale in de
fence of ita past action, wero ignored. No
one woid is uttorcd iu their behalf. Bu
the act directs the Governor to take possossiot
of tbe assets pledged to secure this debt (at
Mr. McDuffie, tho agent of thc State in thone
gotiaiion of Iheso bonds, expressed it), for th<
purpose of milting "assurance doubly sure,'
and place tho proceeds in the Treasury of lh<
State. These creditora then foi tbe first time
became actors, by applying to thc Federa
Court for au injunction. Before a motion could
be submitted to tho court in thia caso, the nen
Attorney-General sued out a mandamus. To
this tho bondholders were not ovon parties, and
the bank representing their interest wa9 un
involuntary party ?ts defendant. Mr. Justice
Willard, elected by the Legislature to which
Governor Scott addresses bia message, to a
seat on flic highost bench known to thc system
of this S'ate, refused tho mandamus, on ac
countofthe "penuing litigation." What liti?
gation? The snit instituted by the billholders,
in which the bondholders appeared with the
State in defence. This decision rendered tho
further prosecution of the injunction unneces?
sary. It is this resuit which ruffles his Excel?
lency, and in his anger he Btrikes blindly.
Whether his blows fall on "the courts," or "the
officers of the bink," who havo obeyed the
courts, or the creditors dragged relunctantly
into litigation as defendants, or the "counsel"
who make their defence, it matters not. He is
disappointed by the honest and intelligent de?
cision of one of his own judges, and be resents
it.
The conclusion of his Exc?llency is, that
these bondholders, though graciously permit?
ted to come in upon the footing of billbolders,
whose bank notes, purchased at ten cents on
the dollar, are generously funded at par, with
interest-these dependent bondholders, his
Excellency says, should be required as a con?
dition precedent to pay all damage the State
bas sustained, or may sustain, by their "un?
warrantable litigation." "Damages" include,
we knew; not what 1 If defending yourself
when sued is "unwarrantable litigation,"
"damages" may be swelled to an amount to
discount the whole claim. But why a creditor
with collateral security should be browbeat and
bullied into a surrender of his collaterals, be?
fore tho debtor will acknowledge his obliga?
tion, I confess I do not perceive. Th'; position
is as new in morals as in law. The State,
though aware of its default as obligor on the
Fire Loan bonds, payable at tho banking
house of tho Barings, which fell due on the
first of July last, and aware of the suit into
which the Barings had been drawn by tho bill
holders, in which the claim to collaterals is as?
serted, has never mado a proposition of any
kind to this class of creditors. Is it not the
part of the debtor to seek the creditor? If a
compromise or concession is desired, the prop?
osition should he niado by the debtor. But
strange to say, while the billholders have
been dealt with by the Legislature and his Ex?
cellency with a munificence and profuse libe?
rality remarkable in the history of governments,
the bondholders have met from the same Leg?
islature only contemptuous neglect, and from
the Governor unmerited rebuke, harshness
and threats.
As tc "disparaging the credit of the State,"
I submit it to bis Excellency, whether the de?
nial by a government, or its Chief Magistrate,
to a creditor of the rights which the judicial
tribunals of the countiy award to him, is not
more "disparaging" to public credit than the
assertion of these rights in the courts of tho
country indebted ?
If the credit of South Carolina is impaired
by the proceedings in this matter, it is through
Governor Scott and tbe Legislature, and not
the Barings or the bank.
One word in conclusion. What would be
thought of a private debtor in default, who
uttered the language of Governor Scott ?
Does a State maintain its credit by assuming
a position which no private individual could do
without disgrace ? L W. HAYNE,
Counsel for the Barings and others.
THE B?LWEB SCANDAL.-A London corres?
pondent writes that Lady Bulwer, who was
once the torment of her husband's Ufe, pub?
lishing novels every year or two-In which he
was the villain, and his death described as the
mest d;8irable of events-is now, I believe,
out of "barm's way." She is understood to be
in a lunatic sylum. A peerets by right, she
has never enjoyed tho honors of the station.
Lady Bulwer was always a passionate woman ;
she was a hot-headed Irish girl of tho middle
classes, who could not brook tbe least contra?
diction or appa 'ont neglect.
Bulwer wa i fond of hor, and dodicated one
of bis carly n ?vols to her in affectionate terms.
When the quarrels began, tho husband's
mother made things worse, and after disgrace?
ful scones had been enacted, a separation was
agreed to. When Bulwer was a Cabinet Min?
ister, he sought to get her confined in an asy?
lum, but she obained her release, posted to
the county town at which he was to present
himself for re-oiection.and harangued the farm?
ers from a wagon I Their only surviving child,
Mr. Robert Lytton, now rising fast in the diplo?
matic world, and known as "Owen Meredith,"
undertook to Uve with his mother and keep her
from mischief; but her violence became at last
real insanity. Some of her books, such as
"Chevely, or The Man or Honor," arc clever,
tnouirh thc hatred of her husband which they
reveal is sickening. She extended this feeling
to his friends, aud "Mr. Ben Araby" (Disraeli)
and Mr. Dickons figure prominently iu her
works. When Mr. Dickens took the world into
bis confidence and narrated the fact of his sep?
aration from his wife, Lady Bulwer was in
ecstasies. She claimed it as proving the jus?
tice of all she had said.
DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED FBENCHHAN
The death, on Saturday last, of Pierre Antoine
Borryer, the great French advocate, aud legiti?
mist in poUtica, is reported by e bie dispatch.
M. Berryer was born in Paris, in January, 1790.
He became a lawyer at a very early age, and
when quite a youth threw himself into pol?tica.
He sided with the Bourbons, and underwent
no little persecution on that account. He was
one of the counsel for Marshal Ney, and his
name was identified with the picas m defence
of Lamennais in 1826, Chouteaubrian in 1833,
and Prince Louis Napoleon in 1810. Ho was
elected a depuiy in 1830, and after the revolu?
tion and flight of Charles X. he retaiued his
seat, supporting the most liberal measures
After the downfall of Lr.iia Pbilippc, he op?
pose?! the establishment of a repubLC He
nevertheless opposed Louis Napoleon's coup
d'etat, and continued tho bitter enemy o>' tho
empire ever after. A3 an advocate, he had no
superior, and but lew equals in France. In
1855 M. Berryer was elected a member of the
French Academy, and in consequence of his
inaugural speech containing some allusions
considered disrespectful to the empire, its sup?
pression was ordered, but tho interdict was
removed within twenty-four hours. Notwith?
standing his intense animosity to Louis Napo?
leon, the Emperor appears to have had a very
high appreciation of bis talents and character.
Rather than embarrass him by an interview,
Napoleon excused him from the usual custom
of presenting himself at tbe Tuileries on ac?
count of his election. In thc case of Patterson
vs. Bonaparte in 1860-'61, M. Berryer was the
advocate of Mrs. Pattersou, of Baltimore, who,
it will be remembered, brought suit to prove
the validity of her marriage with the Empe?
ror's uncle, Jerome. Though the snit was not
gained, the manner in which it was prosecuted
added considerably to the reputation ot the
advocate. In 1863 he became a candidate for
thc Corps L?gislatif and was elected. As a
mcniuer ho was, with M. Thiers, ihe greatest
opponent of thc imperial government. Many
of his orations against tho policy of the Empe?
ror arc masterpieces of eloquence. His death
will be a severe b ow to the opposition party in
' France. M. Berryer waa a great spendthrift.
THE NEW YOEE 1'UIBUNE ON GOVEBNOB
SCOTT'S ilESSAOE.-The Nev York Tribune, of
Tuesday, cditoriaUy says :
The Governor of South Carolina, in his mes?
sage to tbe Legislature, nresonted yeste day,
makes pleasant recognition of the altered tem?
per nev* displayed by Wadu Hampton and thc
like rebel leaders, and asks that it be met un?
generous legislatiOD, looking to the removal of
political disabilities. Universal amnesty and
impartial suffrage, freed from Mr. Johnson's
moddlosome effort to encourago thc spirit of
strife, might long ago have g.vcn peace to this
foieinost of tho rebel S.aie<i. We have faith
that they will do it now, aud in that faith wo
cordially commend tho disposition manifested
