NO 1. :,t t by conirum! , Again the crum bled haltls shal rise; Lo: as onl Evan's bank we Stand, The past retirms-the present liiE-s. LAD)Yow CASTLE. The boundaries of that small portior of South Carolina known as The Dutcl Fork cannot be so definitely determ ined at this date 1S91) as it could havi been done sixty years ago. As long a: German was the language spoken b: the citizens, every homestead in whici it was recognized as the mother tongui might be placed with certainty withir the bounds of'The Dutch Fork. Since however, the English language has nom entirely superceded the German, th( borders of this once well-known sectior, of country have become as misty as tht confines of Dreamland. Diflirence ii languages is the most reliable survey or's compass for determining the divid ing line between two nations. A trav eler on the continent of Europe, beforf he at nightfal' settles himself to rest in railway sleeper, may hear some one sa3 in French, "Good Night!" to anther and at dawn the next day he may bt awakened by hearing the salutation. "Good Morning!" uttered in German and thus he is made aware that al some moment in the past night he hi4 crossed a line which separates Frane from Germany,-a line fixed to hisowr satisfaction by difference in language although its permanence has not yei been established, in the confidence oi nations, by millions of infuriated met shedding one another's blood, for thai purpose. Returning, now, quietly t our boundary question, after this loftN flight and wide departure, I will ven t ure to say that now-a-days The Dutet Fork may be placed with as little hesi tation in the neighborhood of Santue, in Union, as around Pomaria, in New berry, since English is spoken as com monly in one locality as in the other. The German schools had disappeared more than a quarter of a century be fore my experience began with the first edition of Noah Webster's spelling book. My parents were taught to spell and read by a German schoolmaster, though they were afterwards instructed by English teachers. It comes within my easy recollection how obstinate were the old people of two generations ago in fostering their antipathy against the introduction of the English lan guage to take the place of the German. They were compelled, by the increas ing encroachment of Euglish-speaking emigr";.'s, to accustom themselves to the use (: tl,e hated tongue; but when ever it became necessary to give ex pression to passionate thoughts, En' glish words were thrown aside as alto gether too insignificant by the side of the thunder-claps in the German idiom, to give emphatic expression to indig. nat ion. It has not been long since I pointed out to a friend, wvhile strolling with him about St. John's church, a little mound remaining from the debri.e o; the first school-house ever built by these German settlers. It is now~ scarcely discernible; but I can wveil re member when a portion of the hearth could be easily traced on the top of it. This humble school-house stood herE opposite thbe gate of the now neglected graveyard,-across a road that grows dimmer and dimmer every year; and it must have been built at least a hun dred years ago. Here, the ofispring o1 the pioneer settlers went to school, learning the same lessons, and prattling in the same language as did the chil dren away over in the Fatherland. It requires, now, quite an effort of the mind to realize that the magnificent original forest still surrounding St. John's church once reverberated with the sounds1 of no other words but Ger man. The original ch urch-house-the one in which Rev. Geiselhart preached -sood within the limits of the grave yard juist mentione I, about twenty paces from the schoolhouse. This primlitive church-building gave p)lace to a new one, standing about sevent five steps further on towards the cen tre of the forest, and: erected in I18'9, unrder the name (in Geruman) "St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church''; and the old schoolhetuse went into dis use about the same time,-thbe rapid increase of poV:ulation and the settled predlominance of the English over the German language necessitating the changes. Tbhis introduet ion arnd prevalence of what was considered a fore-ign tongue must have been somnewhmat sudden. It is highly probdable that not an E-nglisht word was spoken ini The Dutch F'ork before the beginning of the present c:entury; and already in 124, there was not one of the risimng gene(ration who could converse in Gerim:. A bout the year lsA I -oimmieniced in the new sch~oolhmouse my (-areer as a~ schoolboy. An srinian ori::ig face, ereping like snil though unlike the modern chlild I was considered at prodigy, because at the avze of seven- years I could repeat the English atlhatbet forwards and hack wvardls. Whiat a chanrge hado ComeC over the echos of tihe tickle torest: Twenty y ear-s befo re thse rny first school-days, these sturdy oaks with their pretty dogwvood brides woul take unp t he words of the Ge;~rmnan child ren exe-rcis ing thermiselvyes in their sylva,n sports and wouhi seem to waft their shoute ov-er towvards the far distant Odenwalds and then :after so short a time woub traitorously resound wth the yel!s o Enghilish -speakinug boys anid girls. Thus it is seen that thle English language (if the families in the Dutch Fork speedily pervaded the whol.! commu Ilitv. It would be an interesting study to trace the beginning, . progress, and Com11pletion of this predominance of one laniguage over another, but ir is impos sible to collect any facts relating to the subject. It is certain, however, that the surrender to this infringemeit was not without much dislike, and co'sid erable resistance. Whenever a half dozen or more of the old time people would get together, wbat a feast of con versation in German they would have! Often have I observed with indescrib able pleasure how large groups of aged ladies would engage in superintending and even helping to prepare the wed din- dinner at some marriage,-and how they would cast aside all seib lance of English and give themselves up to an unrestrained intoxication of enjoyment, in speaking their darling old niother tongue. Likewise, would their "old men" (as their dames always called them) revolt against custom, while they tottered ab)o.;t the yard in their tight knee breeches giving quite a bow-legged appearance to their neither limbs; and whi'e display ing bright silver buckles on their shoes and broad bri inmoed hats on their heads would revel in an everilow of German, -singing songs and telling anecdotes, and frequently ejaculating the ancient joyous exclamation: "Hochzeit! Heilig gefreut!" which roughly forced into English might read: "It's wedding time! Let there be holy rej:icing." I also well remember, in regard to my graudimother (a grand-d:'ughter of the first white that ever came among the Indians livi.ng between the ialuda and Broad River), how, Whenever she be came weary under four or five days of speaking English, she would send an easy ambling horse, whose name was Shack, for her excellent frieud, Mrs. Amy (Omnee) Lohuer. Then would there be a night of glorious talk until the clock struck one, and iu my litt:e trundle-bed, I would fall asleep to dream of goblins and witches. At length, however, the German language was heard less and less frequenzly until it was as seldom used in Newberry and Lexington as anywhere else. About the year 1826, the boundaries of Dutch Fork might have been delin eated by a course starting from Ash ford's Ferry, and running by Prosper ity (Frog Level in those days) to strike the Saluda at the mouth of Buffalo Creek ; then following the Saluda as far as Dreher's Ford to pass over to Broad River at Bookman's Mill, and up the river again to Ashftrd's Ferry. The center of Dutch Fork, with such circumference, might be fixed at St. John's church. At this time, the far thest back of my reliable recollections (when I was eight or nine years old), I was familiar with the names of more than fifty families in Dute Fork. Following the Broad River road, and including the neighborhoods at short distances from it, I call to mind be. tween Spring Hill and bIaybinton, Veals, Iloyds, Eleazers, Whites, Ear gles, Haltiwangers, Stucas, Hillers, Wises, Schulers, Swigerts, Stoudemay ers, (from whom the gentle, winding ascent, known as Stoudemaayer's Hill, derives its name), Minnicks, Bun dricks, Busbys, Countses, Eichelber gers, Su mumers, Mlayers, De Walt, Slighs, Cummerlanders, and Augh treys. Along the road divergirg from the Broad River road at Bu!;by's public house and proceeding towards Newber ry Court House, were BrightIs, Wik. sons, Buzzards (after whom is called that stretch of thoroughfare so n.otori ous as Buzzard's Lane, in the by-gone days of wagoning), Fuhmners, Slices, Parson Mfoser Records, K(onis, M1athi ses, Smiths, Chapmnans, Folks, Dick erts, Subers, and Ruffs. 0-. the road, andl at short distances from e. leading front Ruff's across to iguey' s Ferry, on Broad River, ( Bier ly's, in Tarlton's Campaigns), were, Cromers, Kinards, Cloys, Wickers, Ri d!lehoobers, Ru therfords, Lakes, M1etzes, Cannons, Swittenbergs, and Ropps. Along the road setting of!' from Su her's (nowv Holloway's) and ending at H-ope's (formerly M1ayer's), were Mil lers (old Johannes), MIocks, Setzlers, Lohners, Swarzes, and Fikes. On other roads passing through the Dutch F'ork, in various directions, wvere Epting.i, Hipps, Feagies.. Wertzes, Houseals, Kiblers, Mfonts, Aimnicks, Bowers, Singleys, Berlys, Barrrs, Longs, A ulls, Piesters, Singleys, Wied emans, Lei tners, Beden baughs, WNheel ers, Risers, Sheelys, Kunkels, Waller the pastor), and others. A short time ago, I stoodl near the spot where lately could be pointedl out the grave of the first white man that ever established a home in Dutch Fork. Mfy old friend who po:inted out the p)lace said to me: "His name was John Adam Sumimer. It was thought that he had power to put spells upon the Inidians, for they never troubled him, in the least. They let him build his house ; and it was not long before lie secured titles to large tracts of va cant land, as all the land through here was so considered, at that time. A fter a wvhile, he wvas joined by two other mmen, named John Adam Epting, and Nicholas Piester, who both purchased farms from Summer. Epting came from Heidelberg in Germany; arid Piester also came from that country, but it is forgotten in what town he wvas born. It was not long before a fourth man joined them, and his name was Aimick. HeI also bought a farm ; rom. Sumnmer: and these farms were all conti:guous.

Judge Simonton Renders His Decision. Questsrn of Right, Not of Comity and Courtegy. CHaRLFs-roN, April 21.-In the Uni ted States Circuit Court to-day Judge Sinonton rendered his decision in the Coosaw Phosphate Mining Company case, ordering the removal of the case from the State Court and assuming jurisdiction. There were two questions submitted by the State, viz: Has the United States Court jurisdiction of this case? and, second, if it has jurisdiction, are there not considerations of courtesy and comity towards the State Court which will induce it to withhold action? As to the first question, Judge Simonton holds "that as thesuit really and substantially involves a dispute or controversy whether the State of South Caroliua has not passed an Act that impaired an obligation of contract al leged, which had been made between aid State and the defendant, the cause presented the question when rightful jurisdiction of the court is removable." As to the question of comity and cour tesy, Judge Simonton holds that such onsiderations have no place in his -ourt. The question is one as to the right of citizens not as to the conduct Af the court. The question will now come upon the right of the State to appoint a re .eiver for the mining territor.; claimed y the Coosaw Company, a:d the na 'ure of the rights granted by the State o the company. "oINTS OF THE DECISION. [Special to Register.1 CHARLESTON, April 21.-The follow ng are the points of Judge Simonton's Jecision in the Coosaw case: There 3an be no doubt that if the question whether the Act of 1690 impairs the bligation of a contract can be made to ippear on that part of the record which be Court is at liberty to examine at his stage of the proceedings the case is removable. It is a Federal question, trising under the Constitution of the United States. The public laws of a State must be known to and be in the aind of every Judge exercising juris licti(j wit!lin that State, not only as .o their existence, but as to their con truction when a right, privilege or Juty is given to or imposed upon any person, natural or artificial, by a pub tic Act. Such person can pursue su.:h right, privilege or duty in the courts, nd the courts will, without pleading, producing or referring to the Act, re ognize and enforce it. It accompanies he person i;to court, throwing light upon, explaining, sustaining the record; is in effect a part of the record. So, in this ease, when the five relators, styling themselves the Board of Phosphate ommissioners, bring into court the omplaint, or it comes before the court in any way, using the name of the tate, concerning the use of property of the State, asserting the right to control that property, and especially the right to interfere with the claim of the Coo saw Mining Company to the property an which that company set up an ex elusive privilege under a grant, pray ing the assistance of the court to aid them in their control or collection and disposition of the State's property, the courts are bound to take judicial notice of the Act of 1890, which confers on them these powers and to take such notice of its on motion. It appearing from the record in this ease that the suit really and substan tially involves a dispute or controversy whether the S:ate of South Carolina has not Ipassed an Act impairing an obligation o1 a contract, alleged to have been made between said State and its defendant, the cause presents a ques tion within the original jurisdiction of this court and is removable. The next question is has the cause been removed? This being a remnovable case, as soon as the petition and bond were tried in the State Court, itsjuris diction absolutely ceasel and that of this Court im mediately attached. Judge Simonton says with regard to considerat ions of comity: "They have no place here. The question is one as to the right of the citizen, not as to tihe conduct of the Court. Had an action been brought in this Court after the jurisdiction of the State Court had beeni aigaged over the subject matter in anl other action, then the Court could properly consider whether it ought not to leave the parties to thi' tribunal first charged with the settlement of the State Court removed into this C'ourt."' In entertaining the petitioni for re moval this Court cannot mean any re fection upon the State Court. It simnp ly consider whether the petitioniers have tihe right to the removal. If they have, refusing it would be a denial of rights. CooSAw APPIEALS FRO3M THlE 1ECISioN 01 JUD;E A LDRICH. [Special to News and Courier.] CoLormnA, April 22,-Thme general andl special pleadings in the Coosaw case will soon constitute a very respect ably sized volume.

McCrady Sons & Bacot, Smythe & Lee, Defendants' Attorneys. CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER TO DECIDE A QUESTION IN TILE COOSAW CASE. LNews and Courier.] Chief Justice Fuller is expected to hold Court in Charleston during the last week in M'y. He will remain in the city for several days hearing such causes in the United States Circuit Court as might be brought before Win. By no means the most unimportant that will be heard a, that time will be a motion in the Coosaw case to remand the entire proceedings to the State Courts. Notice of this motion was given during the recent arguments in the Circuit Court by Mr. H. A. M. Smith, representing the State, and it will be pressed as soon as the Chief Justice e'rrives. The motion will bring forth very exhaustive arguments fiom both sides, and will be one of the most inter sting phases of the etire case. The same attorneys who made such able arguments on the point of jurisdiction recently will appear in the case again, and the tug of war will be conducted all over again. It is probable that no further steps will be taken in the Coosaw case until that time. It is expected that several entertain ments will be given in honor of the Chief Justice during his stay in the city. On his last visit here he made many friends, wvho will exert them selves to make his present visit one of pleasure as well as business. He will probably be accompained by several lady members of his family. STILL ANOTHER NOTICE.

SATIiIZINGTIIESUH-TREAsUl.Y IDEA An Editor'% Dream for Stock Rai-rs-Gov ernment Hog Pen. anti a Pig Tail Circulating 31edium. [Unknown 'renue,ee Newspaper] WVe note wi oleasure that a sVstelml atic movement is on foOt in Alabama and 'Mississippi to call certain erring brethren squarely to taw on the sub treasury bill and to force them to sub scribe to every line and letter of the Ocala platform or get out of our noble order. The American, as sub organ and assistant toiler of the alliance, heartily approves of this heroic course and demands that the same rigorous measure 'e adopted in this State for the purpose of rooting out heresy and making treason odious. This great and beneticent measure must not be inipeded by factions opposition and stabbcd to death by the hands of trait ors, and the American, as sub-organ and assistant toiler aforesaid, is determ ined that it shall not fail for such rea sons. We deem it the proper time, now that this sub-treasury battle is being joined, to disclose some further plans which have been revolving in the mind of our wise and worthy president. One of the most insistent objections which have been made to our sub treasury scheme is that it is partial in its beneficence, in that the stock raiser is denied participation in its benefits. Our worthy president has felt the force of this objection and proposes to meet it in a practical way. We are author ized to state that he is now preparing a bill to obviate this trouble, and that it will be introduced at the next session of Congress by Brother Rice Pierce. This bill applies only to swine, but other bills will be introduced as soon as perfected to extend the operations of the law to other live stock. The bill provides for a great national hog-pen, to be known as the "Swineyard Sub treasury," and every farmer is to be al lowed to deposit his swine in its vaults and keep them there for a year and a dcay. In order to provide means for feeding them, the Pickler bill is to be amended so as to allow the government to take a small toll from each turn of corn brought for deposit in the national corn crij'. In order to make the Ameri can hog the basis of a sound and health ful circulating medium, our worthy president has conceived a plan as novel and original as it is brilliant and inge mious. This federal hog pen is to have two sub pens, one of which is to be known as the pen of weights and appraisement and the other as the pen of curtail ments and abbreviation. When the farmer brings his hogs for deposit they first pass through the pen of weights and appraisement, where they are sfp arately weighed and valued and the proper figures written upon a card and tied to the tail of each hog. Thence they are driven to the pen of curtail ments and abbreviation, where their caudal ornaments are neatly snipped off and returned to the farmer, these tails to be his receipts. Hogs having no tails when offered for deposit are to be thrown out as mutilated coin. A fter passing through this pen they are next taken to the pen of final deposit, or swine vault, as it is called, there to be held for redemption. Is is provided that each pigtail shall represent so many dollars per inch and shall be cut the proper length to represent the full value of the hog with 10 per cent. added. These tails, according to the plan of our most worthy president and oil inspector, aie to be legal tender for all debts, including custom house dues; though Brother Pierce is inclined to think that it would be sufficient to make them receivable for State and county taxes. Whichever view pre vails there will be provided an abun dance of cheap and convenient cur rency, and the hog raiser will be sup pled with a means for meeting his most pressing necessities while holding the bulk of his hogs for a better price, they being cared for aiid fattetned in the meantime without trouble or ex pense to hium. Whenever he thinks the price justifies it lhe may' redeem his hogs an:d throw thonm ona the market. To do this he simiply appears andi pre sents his tails to'the. proper otlier, who ident! i -s he hogs by titting the tails ttheir iipropr st 111mp5.
