The Late Decision of onr Court of High
est Resort.
Tho Court of Errors (says the Charleston
Courier) is composed of all tho Chancellors
and Judges of the Stile. It is the Court of
thc hiiib st and la*t res .rt on all questions
involving constitutional construction. It is,
in other words, thea-setnbly of the Judiciary
of tho State in council.
This Court has but recently arlj mrned its
session at Columbia. They had before them
many and important principles for decision.
It will yet be soiu?3 months before their judg
m mt will be regularly published in the bo.ks
of reports. lu the ineauwhile we lay before
0 ir renders, with great plea-ure, thc follow
1 ig .statement of some o? the paints decided,
prepared originally for the Cheravr Advertiser,
and, as is evident from t!ie precision with
whi.jh they ar?, stated, by one ut the members
of the Court :
The General Assembly has power under
th ; Constitution to confer upon thc District
(J ?uri, jurisdiction of offences committed by
while men, whether the persons iijured by
buch offences bc white or colored. Tue second
section of the Act of December, l?66. dis
pen ing with a Grand Jury, and presentment
thereby in thu District, C >urr, and the third
Section of the sama Act providing ouly a sin
gi-.- jury of eight qualified persons, are n
o-mtrary to the Constitution of the Stale,
The Constitution of the United States has no
applicitim to the subject. (State vs. Lnrey,
State vs. Rilling.*, Stale cs. Star ing. ?fcc.)
Tue charter .. of the Bank of the State of
South Caro ina' in its sixteenth section pro
vides that, " tho hills or notes of said Corpo
ratioa originally made payable, or which shall
have become payable on demand, iu gold or
silver coin; shall be receivable at the Treas
ury of this State, either at Charleston or Co
lutnbia, and by all tax-collectors and other
public officers, in all payments for taxes 0
other monies due the State." Subsequent
Acts, by directing that the taxes shall be
Collected only in certain kind, of money
therein enumerated, uot including the bills of
the Biuk of the State, impliedly prohibit thc
receipt of these latter bills for taxes. Such
subsequent prohibitory Acts do n~t impair
the obligation of any contract made by the
State with the holders of tho billi or others,
and are not contrary to any provision of tho
Constitution of tho United States. (Gran
iteville Manufacturing Co. vs. Roper.)
O ic who takes from an administrator,
though for a valuable consideration, bonds or
notes takeu by the latter for thc gooda and
chattels of his intestate at a sile thereof,
msde under an order of the Ordinary, know
ing that they belong to the intestate's estate,
and that the administrator is misapplying
them to his own use, takes them subject to
the right of the creditors and distributee of
the iutestate to have sati^fiction of their
claim? out of them or their proceeds in his
hands. The surety of the administrator, hav
iDg paid the creditors or distributees, who
have chosen to make him responsible on the
a {ministration bond fjr his principal's breach
ol trust, is subr.*gxted to thc rights of the
crod:tors aud distributees so paid, and may
make such taker account for the bonds and
notes so takeu, for the indemnification of thc
surety. (Itharae rs. Lewis, et al.)
Au instrument under wa!, whereby the
makers, on the 1st June, 1864, promised to
pay, twelve mouths after date, to the executor
of N. A's will, twenty-fivo hundred dollars
in such currency as can immediately be
made available in payment of the old debts
of the estate" of the testator, " dollar for dol
lar," falls within the providion of the Ordi
nance of the Convention of September 27tb,
1865 - " that iu every action arising on any
contract, whether under seal or pir?le, written
or oral; made between the 1st January, 1862,
and the 15ih May, 1805, it shall be lawful for
either party to the action to introduce testi
mony showing the true value and real charac
ter of the consideration of such contract at
the time it was made, so that regard beiug
hid to the particular circumstances of each
c?se, such verdict or decree may be reudercd
as will effect substantial justice between the
parties. What operation the special terms of
the contract ought to have in moulding the
verdict as to ''effect substantial justice be
tween the parties," is to be determined by the
jury, under proper instructions from the pre
siding Judge, as to the purpose and construc
tion of the Ordinance. (Copes ri. Rutland.)
Tba Ordiuance is not in this provision con
trary to the Coustitution of the United States.
It does not impair the obligation of the con
tract, but aims to ascertain what the arrange
r?.?nt of the parties really was, with a view
to enforce its obligation. (Thomas vs. Ray
mond, Copes vs. Rutland.) 1
The Statute of Limitations was suspended
during the whole periods during which the
SUv Law was, by its own terms, declared
from time to time to be of force, as to all con
tracts to which that law was intended to ap
ply. (Simpkins, Administer, V3. Buzzard.)
Emancipation 'was accomplished only by
the conquest aud capture of the territory of
the Southern States, making effective the pre
vioU'ly formed and proclaimed purpose in th
behalf, of the chief of the conquering army
Until such conquest and capture took place
ilavery continued notwithstanding thc Proel
.nation of President Lincoln, just as it had
existed before, and it ceased to exist in the
different parts of this State as thdse parts
successively fell into the hands of the con
queror to be held by him, until the State ac
quiesced in the terms imposed upon her.
(Pickett vs. Pickett.)
The Act of th6 General Assembly incorpo
rating the Columbia and Augusta Rail Road
Company, and authorizing the construction of
a rail road from a point on the Charlotte an
S .uth Carolina Rail Road, near Columbia, to
Hamburg and Augusta, does not impair the
obligation of any contract made by the State
with tho South Carolina Rail Road Company
in any provision of the charter of the latter
Company. The South Carolina Rail Road
Company has no exclusive right for any period
to uonuect Colombia and Hamburg by Rail
Road. Its chartered franchises are not vio
lated by the Columbia and Augusta Rail Road
crossing its track at Columbia or elsewhere
in its proper course, or running side by side
with that track from G rangeville to Hamburg
(South Carolina Rail Road Company vs. Co
lumbia and Augusta Rail Road.)

Return of Rev. P. L. Hermon.
We feel well assnred that not only the mem
bers of bis own congregation, but our community
generally, will folicitate themselves upon the re
turn of tho above named much-esteemed gentle
man. By appointment of the General Conference,
he comes to live and labor another year in Edge
field. During the past year, his ministrations
among us were eminently faithful and efficient;
and if a simply and thoroughly good man-one who
daily exemplifies Dr. FRANKLIN'S golden rule of
" doing as much good, and as little evil, as possi
ble"-deserves the confidence and support of his
people, then are the claims of the Rev. P. L.
HERMON without doubt or dispute.

Extra Term of Conrt.
The Court of Common Plea; and General Ses

possibility of trying cases except by content,
difficulty of getting a jury, tc., Ste.-but little

Unflinching, Undaunted, Immortalized
Gov. JENKINS of Georgia! Hit name will go
djwn the tide of time with the bravest, best, mott

tiously refusing to advance money from the
Troutury of the State of Georgia to meet the ex
ponses of tho Atlauta Mongrel Convention, he
bas been removed from omeo by Gon. Meade
Behold tho firtt act of this new satrap, of whoso
lofty character so much has been said and sung !
Gen. DUNN, an Indiana man, an officor on Gen
POPE'S staff, is to succeed the noblo JENKINS as
Governor of Georgia.
Gen. MEADS, however, has but anticipated the
action of the rump Congress, which is surely ma
king ready to vacate all civil offices in the South
ern States. Botter for bis fame had he waitod
for this action. And all thit in the attempt to
perpetuate Radical power ; and to elevate a ne
gro into a whito man, as vaia an undertaking as
to convert a Sumner or a Wade into a patriot and
a docent man-the most hopoless thing on earth !

A Name We Would Impress Upon
Yonr Minds.
That of QUINN,, the polite and indefatigable
News-Dealer of Augusta. Wo are under renewed
obligation to Mr. QUINN for a large package of
periodical literature; his taste and enterprise is
equaled only by his generosity and thoughtful
courtesy.
QUINN'S shop, under the Constitutionalist Office,
is a very delightful place to go to, and we would
adviso wayfaring mon and women to always
repair to it beforo they quit the city, and buy some
thing with which to boguile the weary journey
homewards.
QUINN'S is a perfect and complete repository of
periodical literature, embracing all the New
Novels, all the Magazines, all tho Literary Papers,
all the Sensation Papers, all tho Picture Popers,
all tho Comic Papers-the funniest things in the
round world !-?tc. ?tc, ?fcc.
To depart from Augusta without buying Maga
zines and Comic Papers from QUINN is a most
heinous prooceeding. Don't be guilty of it ! If
you do not want them yourselves, you may rest
woll assured your wives and children will go ra
ving with dolight over them.
The Bankrupt Law.
There is said to be diversity of opinion among
lawyers ar \ commissioners in bankruptcy as to
when tho fifty po c^-t. clause of the bankrupt
law went or will go into effect, and that the
quostion will probably bo submitted to Chief Jus
tico Chase for dccieioD. A glance at thc law itself
will show that there is no ground upon which to
base such a doubt. In soction 33 it is provided :
"And in all proceedings in barkruptey cora
raeuccd one year from tho timo this net shall go
into operation, flo discharge fball bo granted to a
dobtor whose a?set3 do not pay fifty per centum
of tho claims against his estate, nnlcss the assent,
in writing, of a majority in number and valuo of
his creditors who have proved their claims is
filed in the case nt or beforo tho time of applica
tion for discharge."

even General Grant, can prove a successful can

writes from Philadelphia that bis physical con

Shams and Humbugs.
The greatest sham of the present day, tho so
called Reconstruction Convention for South Caro
lina, is to bo put ir. process of perpetration to
day, Tuosdayl4tb. And the greatest humbugs that
over cumbered tho earth, the so-called delegates
to this so-called Convention, have doubtless all
arrived safely upon the scene of action. The un
fortunate city of Charleston is to bo again dese
crated.
Piotnre to yourselves this grand rally ! White
spirits and black will mingle in the most affec
tionate sociality, and give tho most conclusivo
evidence that they consider themielves ''men and
brothers." It will be a motley assemblage Un
principled demagogues and political aspirants,
with white skins but dark hearts, will go arm in
arm with the fragrant negro. Thoy will have a
good time generally, and put forth a Constitution
by which the peoplo of South Carolina are to be
governed. But the life of all that this wretched
conclnvo may do and say, will be but a span long;
for, although Stevens and Sumner muy not be
lieve it, there if such a thing as honesty even in
politics ; and the great heart of the American
people, brutalized as it has been by war and its
attendant evils, still throbs responsivo to high
and generous sentiments, and will, in the end,
spurn the slimy twistings nf reptile demagogues,
(rho have crawled, not soarod, into place and
power.
As regards tho payment of tho expenses of the
South Carolina Convention, we opine there will
bo no such difficulty as in Goorgia. Qov. JEXKI?B
find Gov. Ona (unfortunately for the fane of the
latter) think differently on certain subjects.
And as regards the Convention cxponses of two
if the delegates fr?>m Edgefield, Harris and El
liott, wo understand that they are already paid ;
ipwards of two hundred dollars having been
lately contributed for that purpose by the " Union
Republican Club" which perpetrates its doings at
(bis place. And this at the requost of these dele
gates. Shams and Humbugs !. Bat porhaps
when the expense; of this Convention are other
wise paid, this two hundred dollars will be re
"undod to tho stupid and starving negroes who
contributed it ! And if, in the long run, these
Constitution-makors should not be able to meet I
:hoir expenses, we would advise them either to
:all upon tho Rev. Beecher to take up a collection
n his Church, or resort to a lottery enterprise to
?ot thom out of their financial trouble. At all
?vents we hope there will be no more useless and
lypocritical robbing of the alroady-too-dcstitute
ilacks.
Gen. Wagener's Report.
We publish this week the Report of Gen. Jons
1. WAGENER, Commissioner of Immigration fur
south Carolina. The Bureau of Immigration in
)ur State was inaugurated only in February last,
mt even in this short time Gen. WAOKSER end
lis agents bavo accomplished much ia the way
)f organization and actual remits. The Report
)f which wo speak is a very inierosting document,
jnaffoctod, clear, succinct. Nothing, in our hum
Mo opinion, is more absolutely necessary to the |
interest and prosperity of South Carolina than
tho continuance and energetic upholding of this
Bureau; for the question of Southern labor is
jndoubtedly a subject of far greater importance
than aven tho political reconstruction of the
American Union.
The negro has had a fair trial, and it has been
sufficiently demonstrated that he is unreliable,
ind sdds neither wealth nor interest to the coun
try. Under these circumstances, it is well that
landed proprietors, men of enterprise aad capital,
ind those who have tho future prosperity of tho
South at heart, should bo devising ways and
tneans whereby the vacuum created by emanci
pation can be supplied, and prosperity restored,
lime will rectify our political difficulties, but it
requires energy, enterprise and capital to r ss tore
:>ur industrial prosperity.
To give value to land wo mnst have a dense
ind thrifty population, allied with the soil by
interest. Lnnd is always cheap whoro labor it
.carce and unreliable. The object then, of our
people, should bo to induco the settlement among
us of a reliable, thrifty population, and cause
them to bo identified in interest by becoming
landed proprietors.
Therefore wc say, let the proprietors of tho soil
J fer landed inducements fur foreign labor, and
they will not only procure faithful labor, but en
banco tho value of their lands ten fold. It is the
july salvation of the country, and the sooner the
people stare tho fact in the face, and appreciate
it properly, thc bettor it will bo for all interests.
" Procrastination is the thief of lime." If we
lilly-dally with the present worthless labor popa
lation, hoping against hope, that it can yet bo
made available, the country will be irretrievably
ruined.

Correspondence between Judge Aldrich
and General Canby.
BARNWELL, S. C., 1
December 27, 1867. J
Sir : I hare been informed that Mr. Hood, the
Treasurer of the State, boa been instructcdby
you not to pay me my salary after tho 31st of
Octobor.
When I reoeivod your " special order No. 183,"
suspending me, I did not suppose you intended to
deprive me of the property in my office. It nevor
occurred to ree thnt, because I could not conscien
tiously carry out your General Orders as to juries,
I was to bo punished by being deprived of the
salary, which, in the impoverished state of the
country, is the only means left to me for the sup
port of my family.
I trust it is only noccssary to bring to yonr no
tice the fact that the judge has a property in his
offico, and that, during his suspension, bo cannot
be legally dop ri ved of its emoluments.
As I havo no idea that your purpose ls to inflict
a personal injury on one who, I trust, has shown
himself as sealous and honest in the disoharge of
hil duties as you havo in the discharge of yours,
I therefore respectfully submit this question to
your moro mature consid?ration, in the hope that,
upon investigating tho legal proposition, you wi!j
see you have unintentionally don?me au injustice.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient serrant,
A. P. ALDRICH,
Law Judge of South Carolina.

A. P. ALDRICH, Esq., Barnwell Court House, S. C.:
Sir : I havo the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your communication in relation to the
salary claimed by you, as judge of the Court of
Common Pleas and General Sessions, and to state,
in reply, that, aa your action involved a serious
delay in the administration of justice, and im.
posed upon the State, in its impoverished condi
tion, additional expenses for the maintenance or
prisoners, and for holding special terms of the
courts in several of the districts ia the Sonthern
Circuit, I did not consider it proper or just to add
to those burdens, by authorising compensation to
be mado for services tbatwero not renderod.
Very respectfully, slr,
Your obedient servant,
ED. II. S. CANBY,
Brevet Major-General Commanding.
BARNWELL, January 7, 1868.
Sir : I reply immediately to your noto of the
4th January, just received.
I did not expect and ?id not ask, that you, a
Military Commander, would considor tho consti
tutionality of the Reconstruction acts. But I did
expect that you would point to tho clauso in those
acts which empowered you to m\*pcnd me from
the performance of the duties of my office, and
then to deprive me of my property in that office,
by ordering the State Treasurer to withhold tho
salary which the State contracted to pay me when
I wns commissioned one of her judges. You will
remember, that I am still a Judge 'of South Caro
lina. You have not ventured to remove me yet,
and if you had, you cannot doprive me of my of
fice. You cannot point to any authority in the
acts, but exou8e your injustice and usurpation by
soying, " that as your action involved a serious
delay in tho administration of justice, and im
posed upon the State, in its impoverished condi
tion, additional expenses for the 'maintenance' of
prisoner', and for holding special terms of tho
conrts in soveral of the districts in the Southern
Circuit, I did not consider it proper or just to add
to thoso burdens by authorizing compensation for
services that wore not renderod."
I indignantly repel this slander. I was in tho
actual performance of my duties, under tho la* s
of the State of South Carolina, that had conferred
online my judicial office, and to whom, alone, I
am accountable. When you, by a high-handed
usurpation of authority, not conferred on jou by
any law of Congress, or article of war, suspended
mo in the very effort I was making to administer
justice to a aufiering people. What justice was to
bo administered by such juries as you had di
rected to be drawn ? You know, or should have
known, that your order as to juries, was not au
thorized by any act of Congross. You know or
shoald have known, that juries, selooted as you
directed, presented tho most sorious impediment
to tho administration of justice You know or
should have known, that my oath of office pre
vented mo from carrying out your order-and yet,
as a mere partisan, without considering the digni
ty of my position, the character of my beloved
State, or tho responsibility of your own station
in the very wantonness of power, you put upon
mo an indignity which was unworthy of the great
government you reprosont, and I must add, ap
pears to mo now to be not only resentful, but un
manly. Let your Irother officers of the old army
judye.
As a conscientious judgo and a man of honour,
I could not carry out your order without violating
my oath of office. I said so frankly. You sus
pended me. I yielded without a murmur, and
now, becauso I have a conscience, that will not
permit me, as I think, to violate my oath of offico,
with high-handed tyranny, you not only doprive
me of the dignity of that office, but rob mo of its
support, aad thou insultingly tell mo that my
" action has involved a serious delay in the ad
ministration of justice," forgetting that lt was
your own unauthorized and officious interference
with the laws of tho State, that placed the first
and only impediment in tho way of justice. With
what consistency can you talk about tho "impov
erished condition" of tho State, when only on tho
3d December last, you issued Genoral Orders No.
139, assessing a tax for the very salary you havo
directed tho Treasurer to withhold, and did actu
ally make an appropriation for its payment?
How does it help the people of an impoverished
State, to wring taxes out of them, which you af
terwards direct to be locked up in the treasury?
Why trouble yourself about State bu.-dons,
when the people (I moan white people, tax-pi} -
.rs), with singular unanimity approve my course,
aud sustain mo under my proscnt trials ?
No sir, I am not deceived, nor is the country,
by this moro subterfuge You cover this bold and
bad attempt, to destroy tho indepondenco of the
judiciary, at tho same time that you make yonr
effort to break down tho great bulwark of liberty
-THE TRIAL BY JURY, with a very flimsy veil.
I commend yon to tho perusal of General Han
cock's Special Order No. 203, to show you what a
patriotic officor can do, whose desire is to heal tho
wounds of a prostrate and bleeding country.
But I do not complain. My only purpose now
ls to ropel your unjust and cruel asp ore ion, and to
put on record my protest against your monstrous
tyranny.
I will leave my native State to-morrow, in deop
sorrow and despondency, to seek a support 'or my
wife and children, in hospitable Goorgia, where I
am assured of a hearty welcome. Thank God, in
my temporary exile-for I am ooming back when
you go-I will bo sustained by the consciousness
sf hading dono my duty, and the full confidence
that tho poople, tho great judges in this caso, will
loon do justice to you and to me.
Very respectfully, tir, I
Your obedient servant,
A. P. ALDRICH,

Washington Correspondence.
"? LEO," the Washington correspondent o
the Charleston Courier, under date of the 6tl
inst., says :
Congress begius where it left off sixteei
days ago, wi tn propositions and discussions o
a purely partisan character. Thus thc Hous<
refuses to entertain a-pro position from a Dem
ocratic member, to thank General Hancocl
for his wise and liberal course in Louisiana
and the House thanks General Sheridan foi
an opposite course, and censures, the Presi
dent for removing him, and also thanks Gen
eral Grant for his letter, protesting against thi
removal of Secretary-Stanton.
The general belief is that the price of col
ton has not yet touched bottom, and that th<
production of India, Egypt and Brazil will b(
larger than ever the coming year. It is no
probable, therefore, that Northern or foreig!
capital will be employed in the South to an]
additional extent for tho culture of cotton th<
coming year.
The effect of this state of things upon thi
business interests of the Northern States wil
be severely felt, and Congress will find it ver
difficult to raise a sufficient revenue upon an;
system which the country will tolerate, evci
for the necessary expenses for the support o
the Government.
Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, i3 here an<
represents that tho. Constitution which thi
Convention of the State will submit will cer
tainly be defeated by the people. He declare
that with comfidence, and notwithstandinj
the fact that, upon the passage pf the new Re
construction Bill, it will require only a ma
jority of the votes cast at the election for thi
adoption of the Constitution. Further, Judgi
Sharkey states that in case of the failure o
thc people to reject the Constitution, the whiti
citizens will unite for thc purpose of sendinj
negro Senators and Representatives to Con
gress from that State, excluding all whiti
men, but obtaining a majority of whites in thi
Legislature of the State.
Citizens of Virgisia, just arrived here, als?
confidently assert that they can defeat tbi
Radical Negro State Constitution about to bi
submitted. 'They have r:o resource for it ex
ccpt by dividing the Radical negro inierest
But they say also that, tailing to defeat th<
Constitution, they will ?ive up the congres
sional representation to the freedmen.
It is apprehended, however, that there art
so many white Radicals in each of the ter
States who aspire to Federal office that nt
combination for the election of negroes cat
succeed. Besides, tho National Radical Er
ecutiveCommitt.ee have this mt.tter in hand
and are using all their power in the South U
keep down negro representation for the pres
ent, und till altor thc Presidential election
They will buy off the negro aspirant?:, and wt
learn from good authority that funds are novi
being raided for this purpose. Any negrt
nomiuce for Congress can sell out his chanel
for a handsome lortune, because, even if j
.inglo negro should take his seat in the Housi
prior to the election of President, the Radica
candidate will certainly be defeated.
It is stated that the President will sent
General Wm. T. Sherman oh a special mis
sion to the Southern States, to investigan
their condition iu a material and politica
view. How far destitution and starvatioi
may occur, and whether there is real dange:
of collision between races, are questions o
great importance to the Federal Government
