Dcbti for Blare Property.
At l'sst,. this question is about to come be*
fbre the Supreme Court of the United States.
The esse is that of Hart against While &
ilawes, from theCircuit Court for Louisiana,
which present* the question of liability on
a note, the consideration of which wot
the transfer of slave property, made before
emancipation. The United States Cirouit
Court decided that the note could not now
be collected, which is in accordance with
opinions we have all along entertained, and
We do sincerely hope that the Supreme Court
will austaiw the decision made in Louisiana.
No other decision will stand the test of lime
and common sense, it seems tons, in all def*
erence to thj learning and ability of those
who insist ou enlorcing slave debts. After
a little while, and in all time thereafter, It
will be a matter of astonishment to man*
kind that the Courts of a government,^!ate
or Federal, whose laws and constitutions,
legislative bodies, presidents, governor^
cabinets, generals, and all officials are ex

Burglary and Thieving.
Petty thieving and burglary it not un- ]
frequent about Oreenville at this time We t
liave heard of several house being robbed, ,
some of clothing, some of plate, tome of one
thing and another, smoke houses robbing is ,
quite a favoiite. Our citizens begin to be
a little more wide awake. Every family
anouiu ue wen provided wim email arm*, ,
wliether the Inmate* are men or women,
ami the marauder* should be watched for
at different hour* of the night. When a
few are shot in their stealing about oothoua
ee, or dwellings, the other few or man y may i
take warning. Be caie'ul in shooting not <
to mi?take for the thief eome member of the
family moving ahout the house or premises^
watching for rogues, or other purpose*. It
is necessary to hail first, unless you catch
the burglar in the very act.

to buy the right of wny in any direction
half mile from the Court House. This doe
not look much like running by two hundrei

People may always know where they bavi
started, but attractive scenery and elcganc
has caused a tnan and wotnnn to stop that ha
good hard mother wit, and made good an
useful citizens, as little as " Vive Bagatelle
may think of them.
I must acknowledge his conceptions of thi
road with a depot in the extreme limits of tb
City small, very narrow?about what Hodge'
Dopot is toCokesbury, and still there are sere
rnl in the City whose conceptions are als
small and narrow. The Honorable Mayc
and Aldermen have eonclnded the Depot wi
to be located in the suburbs, as much cs tb
mooted question may have been overlooks*
It is talked about openly, and acted upon b
the City Council; and I know there are me
in tbia Council whose cot options are ur
bounded, and whose ideas are mighty. Lista
to mcir rosoumon :
" Itttolved, That the City Council deem tli
looation of the A. A R. A. L. K. R. Depot o
the extreme limits of the City prejudicial I
the intereat of the property holders ; and thi
a Committee be appointed to eonfer with t)
authorities of the Road, respectfully presen
ing the views of the City Council, and reques
ing the location of the Depot within a half mi
of the Court Douse."
Then listen again:
" We think the Council have acted wisely
this important matter, and feel assured th
their views are the snmo entertained by 01
principal property holders and others tab
intoreated in the welfare and progress* of tl
place."
And, if there is no truth of the Depot beiti
located in tho extreme limits, where did i
this cbat originate f Where there is ?o in in
moke, such an immense quantity, there
certainly a spark of (Ire elose by. I wou
nut be surprised if " Vire Bagatelle " do

White Oak Spring, and this is why it w
take so much room for the Depot and wui

aot for one moment doubt tho deep interest I
feels in the Road, bnt not more interest thi
poor tax payer feels. His condition, as regar
the placing of the Depot, are all very goo
and I agree with him, that the Depot sboul
be on gruond practicable for depot purpose
and where it will afford Ingress and egress

At 10 o'clock A. M. ycterdav tflc m... f
entli Corp*, numbering S0.000 men, with
96 piece* of field artillery and the u*i:ai
proportion of cavalry, advanced In two rol- i
nmna?one at Porto Neuilly and the other
at Point du Jour. The former advanced
at a pretty rapid pace up the avenue of
tha Grand Armee, direct for tha Arc de i
Triomphe, the French troopa vacating the 1
streets aa tha Germane appioechrd. I
Tha other column, entering at Point du <
Jour, below Au'cull, commenced to mareh I
along the quey, on the north aide of the *
Seine, direct for Place de la Concorde, 1
where the reudrsvoua of the two eolumna <
ia fixed. The xone eurrendered to the Gere 1
mam war almost culirel^ free of Fr-nj'.i. <
Nothing could exceed tha splendid ap> I
pearouce of the troop*, who turned out in '
aa perfect order aa if on the parade ground
I home. The cliiel lliorough(?r?i were
quiet, and but few persons were about.? <
Prom R to 8 A. M., the shops were rlossd,
the window* abut, and the aspect of the <
city deaolate. Tha Nationals* are posted 1
on every avenue, with line* of aentrie*
aeroaa the street* to prevent per'or.a gotng <
beyond the line of dcmsscniion. Prom 10 <
to 12 o'clock A. M? the seme aspect waa I
preeeoted, with more people on the street*. 1
in amall crowd*, and with more Rationales i
on duty. 1
At Rue Royale, Rivoli and Tine* da la
Coneorde ar* double lines of wagon*, eutting
off communication. On the Champ*
Blyaeea hardly a person was seen. All the
hooves were elosed, except three or feur
amall eefe*. No one was *e-n at the windows,
and only a tew Italian, American
and English flags were flying, and one ain
gie French flag hung over the C>rp* L'glelatif
At o'clock A. M., the head of the
Pruaeian advance waa tten rooncing th*
Are deTriomphe.
To the surprise of the few who were
present, bo?h men and women were seen
hurrying away in tears, and oalv hova and
a few woihnotn ware left. The Grrman
hussars galloped down every avenue leading
to the Champa Elyaeea to aeareh the
alreeeta branohing therefrom. Not the
tlighieal attempt at disturbance occurredAbout
4000 In Ian try and cavalry only were
in the advance.
A eplendid body of men halted opposite
the Palais da la Industrie, whieh was at
onea occupied by huseara. A few Uhlans
ride down the Plaee da la Concorde, where
they view with denaion the faces of thn
statues covered with crape.
