I AMe Utterances on the Railroad Cases by an Independent Paper. -s-4 1 P - We pubJisti below an eaiioriui irom tbe Charleston Sun on the decision of Judges Goff and Siuionton in the railroad cases, which meets our approval that we transfer it to our editorial columns: W e are bound to say that we con sider as most unfortunate the result of the preliminary skirmish between the State and the United States Courts on the question of the liability and status of insolvent corporations in the hands of receivers as regards their relations to the sovereign power of the State and its hitherto scarcely disputed prerogative of assessing and collecting the taxes it deems necessary for the purposes of government. For this was the issue which was really passed upon by Judges Goff and SimoDton in the United States Court i t ii 1. . r 1 . yesterday, no matter upon wnai siae issues tbe question was brauched off through the ramifications of legal technicality and the application of inconclusive precedents. * * * The Supreme Court had, after due procesg, declared this court without jurisdiction to enter into the merits of that question. Those of the corporations which were solvent were debarred by its decision of further stay "of the States hand. Not so the insolvent corporations. The very court whose jurisdiction to pass on the question was overruled declared that its instrument and organ ?the receiver who held the property /\f 4 V* r\ 1 % * r\ ^ /-\11 > 1 /.b ui luc iusuivciit tvipuiauuu had been committed to its charge? was a competent judge to decide upon the merits of the question which it, the principal, had been denied the right to inquire into, and that in this indirect and scarcely merit worthy way it could and did obtain that jurisdiction over the subject matter which it had been denied the right to come by directly. This > be law, it can scarcely be equity. One would naturally think that in passing upon a question so far reach > in<r and vast in its results: so utterly w reversing all ideas of common justice or^ week learned court would have laid down patcl some unquestioned aud salutary total principle of law to warrant its pol- 0f icy; that it would at least produce part, clear and unambiguous precedents am} t compelling its action. have There is, however, no adequate count principle stated?only the assertion wholt that receivers are not bound to pay a rant. tax in their judgment unlawful, with out the order of the court;" no precedents are quoted which are of con- jj. ] elusive authority"?"all of them of WOrld persuasive authority," merely. ^alf j It does not become us to question ^ . the stern, unbendiug integrity and ,)ure ^ impartiality of the honorable and ru^ i unimpeachable judges, but may we scarct not, with all due respect, ask if it our aj would not have been the part of hu- .j. man wisdom, in view of the univer sc". OKI sality of human weakness, for tbc-m ! ],,,] to have viewed with suspicion prece J c.lQ Q1 c f a f !>?>?*> ^k-arn avaI I " ' - I sacces "persuasive," considering, as they are | j^ese nnaviodablv compelled to do, that j vertjsthey were sitting in review of a mat | ta}n]y ter in which, as they construed it, j U(<e the very authority which they exer- i j. cised which had been set aside and j or(jer( defied, its process had been ignored, j jj00(p and its jurisdiction not only ques- J Up ^y tioned after being asserted, but over- } an(j -g ruled and reversed by a higher court? j prje?0 What have we, then, established ; Up0n , by these "persuasive" precedents and b}00(] this faulty logic on uncertain princi- cer+aj] pies of law which defeat equity and | justice? We have the assertion that j e i l tne receiver 01 an insolvent corpora- ^ tion can question the legality of a j r tax assessment, and deny the sorer j eign and summary power of the I "]aJori State to collect its revenue, where j , not only the private citizen and the j i CtlSG O solvent corporation cannot, but where j u ^ the court itself, of which the receiver I ^ is the mere agent, is denied the ju- ,?U,. . . ? electio lisdiction to question the legality, j except, as now held, in this indirect r?i ? 1 Ji.CC 3 manner.

Was it a case and circumstances uik!it which such severe penalties could be wisely imposed 011 them, considering that their crime was merely constructive at worst? Is it not enough that the State is enlightened with regard totbeerroneousness of its former views, but necessity is also found to impress it on her by such severe and plenary discipline of executive agents and instruments? Has it come to that pass where a State cannot test her soverneign rights by effectual?nay, aggressive?action without having before her eyes the unworthy fear and threat of punishment? As we have said before, we regard the outcome of these cases as very unfortunate, even if it was the only solution. It is unfortunate, we think, for the railroads, inasmuch as it is essential for them to have the good will of the people, and the impolicy of antagonizing them, as they must stand by the State, would seem apparent, as suggested in his speech by the able and judicial minded counsel of the respondents, Mr." Samuel Lord, whose digest of the points presented in behalf of the Sheriffs is reproduced elsewhere in this paper today. It is unfortune to see some or our people so obviously swayed by prejudice and passion as to forego their traditional training and life long poinciples of State and national rela tion?whether correct or incorrect? not as an act of judgment, but through the infience of political and personal pique, and to gloat over and triumph in the discomfort andhumil iation.of the mother State for any reason. These things we deplore. We deplore the injection of political prejudice, however slightly, into the discussion of questions before the courts. And we wish to be understood that this sentence is only intended generally and is without ref ence to the esteemed judges of the T7nito/J fstntps CVmrt. But it all tends to widen, intensify and per petuate the division among our people and to hand down a fued \Chicli should have terminated with the immediate contest which provoked it.

Court of General Sessions for Lexington county commenced Monday the 12'Hb instant, Judge I. D. Witherspoon, presiding. Mr. G. A. Derrick was selected as foreman of the grand jury. The case of George Kiuard, inrli/.fo.l fiw nrintinnl ficcnnlt. linnil a white woman at Irmo last year, was called for trial Monday. Mr. Montcith, Kiuard's Attorney, made a motion for a change of venue upon the following affidavits: more affidavits. Personally comes Walter S. Mod teith who, being first duly sworn, says on oath: "That since the lastterm of this court he has diligently attended to preparing for the defence of this case, and has inquired as to the possibility of the defendant, lu'a flipnt orpftino- ? fair trial in this E>~ O ? county. That an affidavit stating the condition of things as they existed at last term of court is on file in this cause, and deponent here says that they have not materially changed. That deponent has been repeatedly notified by persons whose statements are entitled to credit, that it will be impossible for the Sheriff to bring the prisoner from where he now is alone to the court room without a strnnrr o-nard. and even then it will ? ? 7 doubtless be extremely difficult, as violeuce continues to be freely threatened. That a perfect reign of terror exists, and it is impossible for the counsel of the defendant to secure any considerable number of affidavits in support of a motion to change the place of trial, as the very best citizens to whom said counsel have applied, while willing to admit that the danger exist declare a positive-disinclination to make affidavit to that effect. That aftey the arrest aud examination of the prisoner and his commitment, a plan to lynch the prisoner was formed and a large number of persons visited Lexington C. H. for such purpose, and they were only frustrated in their design i by.the fact that the Sheriff received warning, aud upon consultation with the Governor, removed the prisoner before their arrival. That during yesterday a large number of persons said to be from Lexington county* came to tbe city of Columbia, and declared it to be thicr intention to intercept tbe Sheriff and take the prisoner from him, they believing i that he was to be carried over to this point this morning. This. fact was I ^jQugbt to deponent's notice yester* at about 4 p. ro., by persons who iBwJsoner wou from this court. Th W. S.

'ihe grand jury of Lexington county beg leave to make the follow ing presentment: A committee trom our body visiteu the poor house, and we are proud to state that they found only five inmates therein, who are well cared for. The inmates and stewards wife complained of the drinking water, and on examination the well was found iu a bad condijjfrjn. We recommend that the County Commissioners investigate this*nlatter, and take such steps as may be necessary to pro cure better drinking water for them. We also find that two of the inmates are insane and lit subjects for the lunitic asylum, one of them has to be kept locked up all the time. We have examined the county jail and find that the cells are not in as clean a condition as they should be. We recommend that the cells be thoroughly scoured out aud put in a clean condition at once. We also found the sewerage of the jail imperfect, and recommend that the County Commissioners examine same and see if it conuot be improved without too grbat an outlay of money. We have not examined the public offices but have appointed the following committee for that purpose, to wit: George A. Derrick, P. I. Rawl and A. L. Hook, and that they have leave to employ an expert if necessary. Only two Trial Justices have presented their books to us for examination, to wit: Jacob W. Dreher andR. L. K 'isler. On examination of Trial Justice Dreher's books we found them well kept, all fines collected by hi:n were paid over to the Treasurer and receipted for. We feel it our duty to compliment Trial Justice Dreher on the business like manner in which his books are kent. 1 Tiial Justice Keisler's books are neatly kept, bit he had neglected to enter in his books the receipts of the County Tre^b^^Spr the fiues paid ' mvat to I?
