Negro Notoi VaJid.
On the ltd ult., an important decision
waa rendered (a the United id la tee Supreme
Court. By this deeisioo. not-*a given for
the purchase of alavaa^ the payment of which
is forbidden by the Constitution of South
Caroline, are made valid, and are colleota
ble. The Supreme Court of this State,
however, acme time since, declared that
claoee ef the Conetitoticn effecting sieve
notes as null,*- whieh was the only State in
the Union rendering such decision. By
this last verdiet, note* of the ebaree*
ter in question are effeeted alike in all of
the States.
The appeal to the United Stales Supreme
Court, was earrisd up from the Supreme
Court of Georgia, io a contract involving
the price of a negro slave. Before the
Georgia Court the defendant (against whom
the note for the price of ihq slave wao held)
pleaded that under the new State oooatitnlion
the Court had no jurisdiction over the
subject, and the judgment of the Court was
for the defendant. The letter Court affirmed?first,
that whan the State constitution
of >868 was adopted Georgia was not a
State of the Union, but a conquered Terris
lory, completely at lha mercy of the conqueror,
ana that accord), gly the constitution
of the Uuited States in reference torthe
obligation of contraots, as to all other
things, would not apply to Georgia; tee>
ond, that her new constitution does not
effect this contract (lbs note given for the
purchase of the slave,) but only denies jus
>tie<lieiibn to her Courts to enforce it ;
third, that this constitution was forced upon
the Slate by Congress and is the set of
Congress, and not of ths State, and that
<tko?gh a State cannot para a law impairing
the validity of contracts, Congress can
and has passed such a law in this State
-constitution, and therefore the contract up.
on this negro slave is impaired, and the
note for the money due on his purchase
goes for nothing, being reduced to the same
value aa the promiaes to pay of the Confederate
Statv. whioh is the value of waste
j mi per.
The Coort et Washington reverses this
decision, and it is now a part of the suipreme
lew of the land. Those who have
heretofore compromised their slave note
enallert, have acted wisely.
Taxes.
Parties owing taxes upon real estate for
.? the yeara 1868, 1869, 1870, aud 1871,
should make payment of tha acme by the
1st of June, as at that time the Treasurer
of Greenville County will sell all lands
upon whieh taxes remain nnpaid, giving
titles that will preclude the possibility of
redemption. We give this notice that all
interested may proteot themselves.

Territory, between the United States civil
authorities and the friends of a desperado
named Pboctor,' enlisting the sympath'ea
and aid of some disaffected Indians. Proctor
bad heen guilty of eighteen murders,
and was on trial for wife murder, at Whittemore's,
Barren Fork, in the Cherokee
country. An idea of the chance he had of
being convicted will be gained from the
fact that the Court House was filled with
sympathising desperadoes armed to the
teeth. It appears that about four weeks
ago this same ruffian shot the wife of a
while settler named KnTxasONand sttemp
ted also to kill the husband, who, however,
eseaped, and on reaching Little Rock, Ar
kansas, told bis story. It was decided that
a strong posse of United States Marshal*
should go down to the Court House, at Talaqush,
where the miscreant was being tried.
The party numbered eleven men. Their
instructions were to arrest Proctor on the
freeh ebarge, in eaae of bis acquittal on tha
other. The vindictive hatred of the federal
government by the Indian Rations, growing
out of the endeavors to brine criminals
among them to jostiee, finds every pcmibie
opportunity to show itself by murdering
the deputy mershale'who make, or endeavor
to make, the arrests. The poese proeeeded
to the visinity where the Court was being
held, and, knowing the danger of their
etUrprlse, dismounted and approached the
place oo foot They ware met by a volley
from the ruffians ambushed in the Court
House, and seven oot af the eleven were
killed, one being mortally wbunded. Some
friends of ths poese within the building fired
oa the sooondrele, and as the result of the
fight that ensued there were io all ten killed
and sixteen wounded, the Sheriff being
among the former and lha Judge on the
beaeb among the latter.
It was a desperate eoeoonter, and the details
are horrible and thrilling.

It goee on and says"Should Knglaud obstinately
refuse to abide by her own plan of
settlement the Treaty of Washinton must become
waste paper, and the differences between
the two natioos must remain for settlement in
the future. Te this termination of the dls?
putc our own people will not object. They
would not dream of making the refbsal of prosent

England oonld not draw the sword because of
her own postponement of the settlement she

of a back-down regarding the oonseqnential

from the oase is probable.
Spain. " *
This aged monarchy, once among the
I moet powerful governments of the earth,
I and now one of the weakest, is dov in the
throes of interna) and factional war. Don
Carlos, who heads s #rong party, apposes
King Amadkus. The situation of the government
is very seriops, and has resolved to
adopt most vigorous measures to pot down
the insurreelion. We annex Isle telegrams:
Paris, April 21.?Don Carlos, with a force
of ten thousand meo, in said to be aeroee the
Spanish border. It in reported that a misunderstanding
exists between the Republicans
and Carlista, the latter desiring tc draw
troops into the epen country, and tire former
to riewagainst the government. Patriot
ism ib rampant in tbe Cortes.
Madrid, April 26?There is a Tart in*
crease in the numbers of Carliat bands
throughout the kingdom. Fifteen thousand
persons are now engaged in the insurreetion.
A proclamation has been issued declaring
many plaees in the State under siege. The j
government.refuses to furnish tbe press any |
information relative to either its or the Car*
lists' movements. There ia a great demand
from the provinces where the pariiata are
most active, for troops.
Marshal Serrano, with 6.000 troops, baa
gone to Navarre. His presence at the bead
of this force haa checked the operations of
the Carlists in that department. Marshal
Serrano will ba appointed General of the
forces operating against insurrectionists.?
Marshal Coucha will also be given a high I
command.
It ie believed the future of Spain now
depends on the oourea of the Radicals, and
that if they co operate with the partisans,
DAi Carlos' revolution will be successful.

At this season of the year, the blood ia apt '
to become impurej the appetite poor; the
ikin sallow ; the body enfeebled ; tho system
relaxed, making it susceptible to attacks of
:bills and fever, rheumatism, eruptions of the
ikin and tbe development of the effects of tba
njudicious use of calomel. All this trouble
nay be avoided by the use of a few bottles of 1
Or. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Qaeen's Delight. 1
It la harmless in its effects, but a powerful enjmy
to diseases. Try it, and you will find it j

A Bad Falling Out.?It is indeed a sod '
Falling out when, after years of the closet inti- 1
inacy, the hair parts company with the head. '
Fortunately the lamentable separation may be
tasily prevented and the twa n more olosoly 1
united than ever by a timely and systematic 1
ise of Lyon's Kathahion, the most potent in- 1
rigoraat of the hair and promoter of Its 1
growth and beauty known to modern phartaa- '
if. It completely obviates the dry and 1
parched condition of the roots of the hair, f
which is preliminary to its coming oat, by 1
mpplying the precise degree of moisture re- '
gnisite to its preservation in abealtby state.? 1
It is the only true dissolvent and eraporant "
>f dandruff and other imparities of the scalp, j
whose presence is injurious to the hair. As a '
t>eautifier of the bead the Katharlron has no 1
iqual. It not only increases tbe quantity of
the hair, but improves its quality immediate- 1
y, imparting a lustrous appearance and -silky 1
texture which are exceedingly attractive. '

Who does not remember the time when
spring purgation was considered indispensable
to summer health ? No matter for wry faces,
the inevitable salts and senna, rhubarb, or
calomel and jalap, must be administered*?
These " spring medicines," the youngsters
were told, were to keep them hale and hearty
during the summer. Wc all know now that
this was a falaoy ; that new vigor, not depletion,
is what is required at the commencement
>f the summer solstice. As a preparation for
the enervating eflects of oppressive summer
weather, a course of Hostettcr's Stomach
Bitters is highly expedient. This famous vegetable
preparation has throe prominent properties
: It renovates, purifies, and regulates
ill the functions of the body. It is composed
exclusively of pure vegetable production*, vis :
tbe essential principle of Monongahela Rye,
ind tbe most efficacious tonio and alterative
roots, barks, and gums known to medical botiniats.
Hence, it is an absolutely safe medieine
and no tinotnre of tbe Pbarmaoopceia can'
