An Important Decision of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. Columbia, S. C., January--8.?'The Supreme Court has rendered a decision which will work a revolution ifrcom* mercial affairs, where parties undertake to evade a just settlement of debts by improper preferences. The appeal was fcakea under section 2,014 General Statutes, rendering void assignments by insolvent debtors giving priority or preference. The Court 1ield that the object of the^Act was to prevent an insolvent debtor from transferring or assigning his property far the benefit of one or more creditors to the exclusion of others, and whether this object is sought to be effected !- - 'irmal deed of assignment or any Uher way, if can make no difference. Auy other view would sacrifice substance to mere form, and enable insolvent debtors, by evasion, to effect a purpose declared bv statute to be unlawful. [ The opinion was by Associate Justice I Mclver, Chief Justice Simpson dissenting. The case was remanded to the Circuit Court for a new trial. The Dynamite Find. Pittsburg, January 9.?A special dispatch from Greensburg says: The story that English detectives have obtained evidence that a powerful secret society of dynamiters is in existence at Irwin's Station, who are directly responsible for the recent explosions in England, is received with little credence in England, although it is admitted that a stranger, whose actions have been decidedly queer, has been seen at various hotel's during the past year. It is claimed that the story is a political scheme to bring aboat antagonism between English and Irish residents of this country, and to prevent future coalitions such as were victorious in the late election. ' '-A* MawaawaaBWHWMaMPWMMBBa THE TOTE OF SOUTH CAHOLIXA. How Oar Messenger was Received in Washington?A Blunder that Must l>c Collected. [From the New and Courier.] Mr. 11. II. Patled^c, Jr., the electoral messenger of Sonth Carolina, has returned to Charleston from Washington. He reached home on Sunday last and {fives quite an interesting account of his visit ro Washington, and speaks very pleasantly of the manner in which he was received by Vice-Presidcnt Edmunds. Mr. Edmunds was exceedingly polite and did all that he could ro make the mission of the messenger successful. The following statement, relating to the electoral vote of South Carolina, will be read with absorbing interest in view of the great publicity recently given to the matter: Mr. B. H. Kntledgc, Jr., who was elected by the electors the ' messenger lo take the certiGcate of the vote of the State to Washington an3 deliver it there to the Vice-President, was informed upon his elecHon thathe should act under the instructions of the secretary of the electoral college, Mr. Beiiet. Some time after, Mr. Benet notified Mr. Rutledge that there was. a package in the Secretary of State's office^addressed to him as" messenger^ and told him that he was to take that to Washington and deliver it to the ; Vice-President. On- the 23d of December Mr. Rut: ledge accordingly obtained the package from the Secretary of State's office, brought it with him to Charleston, andon the 28th of December left Charleston for "Washington, giving^ himself ample time, of course, to reach that city; long before the last day fixed by law for receiving the certificatesj that is, the first Wednesday in January. Congress was not in session when Mr. Rutledge reached Washington, nor was any one of the Democratic Senators "or Representatives from South Carolina within reach. Mr. Rutledge was introduced, however, to Vice-President Edmunds by Senator Bayard, of Delaware. Upon accompanying Vice-President Ednmrids to the judiciary - committee vfimn \Tr "R.nflpHcrP! wfKt PAni'fpnnslv told bv that gentleman that he had no doubt" that he was Mr. Rr.tlege and the dniy accredited messenger from Sontli Carolina, bnt that he had no official evidence of the fact, an& that it was the rule that the credentials of the messenger should be in his own possession, so that they could be handed with the package* to the Vice-President. Under the circumstances, however, Vice-President Edmunds received the package containing the electoral vote and gave a receipt in the usual form, but specifying thai it had been received from "a"person claiming to be the messenger from South Carolina."; The whole of the trouble is this: The credentials, which should have been in the personal possession of Mr. Ratledge, were carefully sealed up in the package with the statement of the electoral vote, and as this package cannot be opened by the Vice-President uutil the two Houses of Congress meet to open and count the electoral vote, there really was no way to prove the identity of the messeug'er before that day, except by referring the matter bafck to the electors themselves in South Carolina. Steps have been taken to file the necessary certificate for Mr. Rutledge and there will be no further trouble In the matter. DEATH IN A COFFEE-POT. A Social Party Poisoned by "Rough on Rat#." Pittsburg, Pa., January 9.?A special' to the Chronicle-Telegraph froin East Liverpool, Ohio, says: A party at which eleven persons were present was given last night at the residence of Mr. Van Fossen of this city. During the evening coffee was passed around, and soon after drinking it all became violently ill, with symptoms of poisoning. At the bottom of the coffee-pot was found a paper of "Rough on Rats." One of the victims, a child, the niece of Mr. Van Fossen, died at midnight, and others are not expected tollve. From the fact that Aiiss Annie Van Fossen is not so sick as others are, she is suspected of being the guilty person. A searching investigation is in progress and intense excitement prevails. z The names of other parties arc not now obtainable. . Important to Parents and Others? ' The Orphans7 Home. We have had a great improvement iu Hie Health of our children by the nse of Swift's Specific. We had among the children some who had scrofula?notably one casein which it ; was UNMISTAKABLY HEREDITARY. We got some of Swift's Specific and gave it to this case, and in a short while it was cured sound and well. It was as bad a case, I think, as I ever saw, and had been under. excellent physicians with no permanent relief. We have been giving it to all the children as a health tonic. We have four children and one seamstress, who for years have suffered intensely every spring with Erysipelas, and though they had been taking Swift's Specific only in small doses as a health tonic, they all, without exception, passed through this spring without a touch of the complaint. A young lady of the institution, who lias been with us for years, has been troubled with a most aggravated rash v sinr-R she was a child. She tried all the known remedies that arc preseribed for it with no benefit; but sl*e lias been cared by taking Swift's Specific, and has had no return of the trouble. It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the system is less liable to contract disease. AH of the teachers and children who are old enough to know, agree with me in believing it is the-greatest medfcine known. My faith in-it is unbounded, and I and my assistants take great pleasure in recommending it to every one. I can at all times be found at the Home., and will take pleasure in seeing or corresponding with any1 one who is interested in the remedy. * Rev. L. B. Paine, Orphans' Home, Mac-on, Ga.

Among Its earlier symptomatic developments;., are Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tumors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Physical Collapse, etc. If allowed to continue, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Catarrh, Kidney and Liver. Diseases, Tubercular Consumption, and various other, dangerous or fatal maladies, are jppoducedbyit. . A/ep's SarsapariHa Is the only powerful and always rdiablt' blood-purijying medicine.
