" Secretary Scward, according to rumor, is to Btay in office for tho special purpose of settling the Alabama claims, for which wc arc, to re ceive British Columbia, and of completing ne gotiations for tho cession of further territory from other Powers. Ohio and Kentucky arc now united, not on ly by a bridgebutby a horscrailroad. Cars run across the great bridge between Cincinnati and Covingtou, starting every ten minutes.

Wo clip it from the Greenville Mountaineer's account of the pro ceedings of tho United States District Court, at that place on tho 22ud ult: Thomas R. Agncw, Assignee, vs. Simpson Bobo. This was au action on a note given for the* purchase, mohoy of a negro slave sold by Mrs. Wofford to tho Defendant in 1858, and, warranted by her at that time to bp sound and a slave for life. Note for 81000, interest an nually, due in 1860, was assigned to Plaintiff. Tho defense relied upon was a failure of consideration In that the negro, warranted to be a slave for life, is still alive, but had been made free." And also upon payment?the debt iboing sequestered by the Government of the Con federate States asthe property of an alien enemy, was paid undor compulsion of that Govern ment, while at war with the United States, lion. B. F. Perry appeared for the Plaintiff. Tho defense was conducted by Messrs. J. P. Reed and JJobo. Tbc case was referred to a jury and ably aud fully argued by the counsel on both sides. In his charge, tho Judge said, substantially : Tho amount is small; tho principle, of over whelming importance, I should gladly have escaped from tho consideration of this case. Tho settlement of the ju?stion, however it bo settled, will carry poverty home to some one. Orest investments lie in bond;; and nutcs triven for the purchase money of negroes. In these, womeu and children have staked their all. The question is who shall hour the loss '{ Pov orty and hardship must come. Iu my opinion the hardship must bo born by those" why bad tho misfortuno to bo owners.. It docs not come within the provinco of this Court to adjust and oqualizc the burdens of the war. That office, tantas componere, belongs to other than a judi cial tribunal. Abolition grew out of the war?the position of these Southern States in the war they waged against tho Government. Negroes were em ployed in many of the essential elements of the war; they created subsistence for the armies, ejected fortifications, and, in fact, constituted (lie vndustrin) basis of the great conflict. The abolition of-slavery thus bocamo^a military ne cessity?emancipation an iiiovitoblo moral ro sult of tho war. Thcso States could not bo recognized until they should recoghizo what the war Had effected. It was couipotcnt for tho United States to deal with slaves just as with other personal property. The owner must suffer. Who suf fered when mules or horses were taken ? or cotton burnt or lifted, or ships captured at sea? Who, but tho owner of suoh property ? Hut tho laws of property, regulating tho rolatiou ship of debtor aud creditor, in tho matter of the mules, ships or eotton, wcro not abrogated. Debts or balances duo on tho purchase of such mules, ships or cottou, wcro not cancelled. The debtors were not released. Their obliga tions remain' in force at this day. The seller uevor made a guarantee against the action of war. Take the case of land. A. owns a fee simple. Ho soils and convoys tho title ho got, placing the purchaser in possession of all the incidents of ownership with which he himself had been invested. If tho State, in tho exor cise of its right of cmincut domain, should bike the fee for public uses, the seller makes no guarantee against tho State j ho is not liable for acts of the State or against confiscation of | the United States. In this case, the ground of defense, failure of consideration, docs not therefore appear to be made out; the warranty was in every view good at the time it was given; its subsequeut failure was due to causes for which the seller of tho negro was in no wise responsible. Tho other ground of defense, payment by compulsion under the Sequestration Law of the Confederate Government, is equally un tenable. That Government never had a legal existence, and payment of the debt under its regulations was therefore void. Under these instructions the jury retired, and soon returned with the following verdict: "Wc find for the Plaintiff sixteen hundred and fifty-one dollars aud five cents," the full amount, with interest.

While ice reserve to ourselves the right of defi ning our own political position hi/ means oj our editorial columns, ice xcill he pleased to publish contributions from nur fi(loa citizens ?jwn tm grave, questions ich ich now agita te the public mind, whether their opinions coincide- with ours or not.

Our columns arc open, therefore, for 'iny communications properly1 written, aecom | pan ted by a responsible, name, not personal in their character, nor absolutely injurious in tl.< ir tendency. Ctui Militia Officers Register? ? *W Wo unhesitatingly nnswor, Yea. "^Ple only shadow of an argument against their enjoy ment of the privilege, is found in their connec tion with the Patrol System, which prevailed in the rural Districts in the olden time; aud this argument falls through upon a moment's reflection. The last Act of Congress on the subject uses the words, "administration or a general law of tho Slate." But the Patrol Law was not a general law of the State. It was local and particular in its effects and ope ration, us far as militia officers wove concerned. It was only iu sections outside of towns, vil lages and cities, that militia officers had any thing whatever to do with the Patrols. All municipal corporations controlled their own pj.lice systODjj in their own way. So that, just in the same jnanncr as any law, which applied only to the cities and tojvnj? in the State, would be called "particular" aud -local f so likewise any law that pertained only to ngricuUuYtlJ sections must be called "local'' also, and not "'general." Why, there is one entire District of the State,?the District of Charleston,? where the Patrol Law had no force at ?11 iu this particular. Wc will not at this time enter into n discus sion of tho distinction between civil aud mili Ir. -y officers. We would only refer to another reason why a militia officer should not be de prived of the privilege of registration. There wcro, in our State, officers of Volunteer Com panies, and officers of Beat Companies. Now. is it to be supposed that a Volunteer Captain in the County shall be privileged, and thu Cap tain of a Heat Company, under a commission, word for word, like tho other, shall be disfran chised? Again, shall the Captain of Heat Com pany No. 1, in the Kith Regiment, (in tho city) be entitled to registor, and the Captain of Heat Company No, I, in the 14th Regiment bo excluded from the lists. Such a rule would not work fairly at all, and shows still more forcibly that the patrol law was not a general law. Again, let us, fur tho sake of argument, say that f ho JlfttroJ hiw was such a general law, as produces disfrnnchisomcnl: then not only militia O?'cers but militia men arc disfranchised. For the last reconstruction act says that those who exorcised certain offices are disfranchised, whether they have taken tho oath, or not. it follows, therefore, that if a militia Captain or Lieutenant is disfranchised by his connection with the Patrol, then every one who has been Captain of a Patrol Squad would bo also; for he was a police rdlicor |(? ,).,. (j,, ,. j,,.;,,,, .,?,] tili? would take in pearly every man in the country, outsido of tho municipal corporations: for nearly every one has been Captaid of such a squad in his turn. Hut this irf* manifestly! absurd; and yet it is basod on exactly the same argument, that is used to exclude militia officers. 3*' The truth is, that militia officers arc not dis franchised1 at all, on that account. Tho idea is preposterous. Tho matter was determined at the very beginning of registration, under the very eyes of that departing hero, tho Com manding General of the Second Military Dis trict, as we lind by the Charleston Mercury, which has been at much pains to bring before the public everything of interest in this con nection. Our friends, therefore, who have beenmili tia officers before the war, have only to go be fore the respective Hoards, aud say, "We were militia officers before the war- but wo wish to bo registered as vottrs ;" and wo pay but a just compliment to tho intclligcuco of the Regis trars in this District, when we say that wo are confident they will not be rejected.

The numbers above '1000 are generally full returns: the others arc but results of the first days of Reg istration.

Hill Washington News. AUGUST 20.?Grant issued tie* order re lieving Sheridan, and assigning Hancock to the command of tho Fifth Military District, and of the department composed of the States oi" Louisiana and Texas. During the late contest the President placed himself squarely on his constitutional right, and duly carried his points. It is suggested that the following letter in which Thad. Stev ens acknowledges that the President still re tains the power of removal which Gen. Grant seemed inclined to deny, had much to do with the General's retrograde movement: Lancaster, Pa., August 20. 1807.?Colonel Samuel Schoch, Columbia, Pa:?Dear Sir: Von are right in supposing that Congress made mistakes, ns is the inevitable, lot of man, but you mistake in supposing that there i.-- any law to Prohibit the removal of District Couunp.iiu ck' without tJie eonsent of tho Senate. Soon after the commeno.cnicn't pf the last session of Congress 1 reported a fc?l -Pc<>m t!ie committee of tho House of Representi,which con tained a provision prohibiting removal without the consent of the Senate. It Passed the House and was sent to the Senate. 'i'l'o .Sen ate struck it out" and returned it to the Iloi^C, who refused to concur iu the amendment. Tho result was a committee of conference, where an animated contest ensued. There were several other questions in con troversy betwceti the houses, which the House offered to yield if this could be granted. The Senate persistently refused,declaring that they would sooner lose the bill. As that would frustrate all our legislation, it could not be til lowed. Tho House yielded, with a warning of the evils it would inflict upon the country. Some of the members of the Senate sc.?med t.> doubt their power under the constitution, which they had just repudiated, and outside of which ail agreed that we were noting, else our whole work of reconstruction was usurpation ; or perhaps they had n desire to bo thought gravely conservative and magnanimous. These ideas seemed to control the action of seine half dozen Senator.-', who preferred trust ing the ['resident. My dear Colonel, a few Senators of great ability, undoubted patriotism a-.d purity, have become so saturated with what they were pleased to call "conservatism" ( whose meaning 1 con less I am unable to un derstand,) that 1 fear they will forget the mon ster f-bat Was slain in 1770. and again in 1801, aud will thus c!?
