M ? , ( ^ Ji-. me L'OimnDia uoDiempi uase /Our readers-will rocoiloot, that by ,an order of Judge Carpenter, dated .12 January, 1874, certain prominent members of the Columbia Bar, Messrs. . Pope, A. C. Haskell, F. TV. Me- ' ilaater, L. C. LeConte, W. Iv. Bach- 1 man, and L. F. Youmans, were ad- ( " judged guilty of a contempt of Court, ' by disobedience to an order passed in the case of the Citizens' Sayings < . < Bank, of the 22 Nov. 1873, and were 1 suspended-from practice in the -Cir- * cait and Probate Courts of the State.. ] until they should r.estpre the proper- ] ty aDd effects of tho Lank to the , custody of the Gotrt, and should re- j I " turn tho fees received by them since tho passage of tho November order. An appeal was taken to .the Supreme j . Court, and the ease submitted upon . V written argument, and tho decision 1 Las just been rendered, Chief Justice ' . t Moses delivering tho opiuion of the f Court, adjudging .that rtho, order of I * the 12 January, 1874, he set aside, ( and that the case be remanded ^to the i Circuit Court for such farther pro- 1 ceedings as may be judged proper. The Court holds that a contempt was committod by the attorneys in j '.disregarding the order of the Circuit < .l Court, though caused by an appeal to ( a Court of competent, nay exclusive ju- 1 xisdiction over the subject matter; that c the question of jurisdiction cannot J affect the merits of tho case or ex- 1 tcnuate tho act of tho attorneys; in- 1 deed the Court] would seem to hold that in employing the surest mean? t to render tho order of the Circuit ^ Court ineffectual, the attorneys did t that which .constituted an aggrava- \ lion of their, offence, c With regard to the powers of the 1 Circuit Judge to inflict the punishment of,suspension or removal, the jSupreme Court holds, that without 1 inouirinsr into the powers which are 1 inherent, in the Courts of General c Sessions and Common Pleas, the pow- a o redesignated are clearly conferred * by the 6, 7 and 8 seotions -of Chapter J CVII of General Statutes, and the i punishment may bo inflicted in a case c coping within the provisions of those h sections, by the Circuit .Judge. The g Court thus decidos agaicst the con- v , strnction urged in the argument of e the attorneys, that before punish- Q ment can bo inflicted by the Court under the 7th section, the attorneys c .mustfirst be "indicted and convicted," a ' and holds that the provision of the AAnfInn rftnnu?inf/? f% r*r\r\\+ nf* llw\ Og^llVl/ i^vjuit iu^ w v* niv charges to be served on the attorneys a by the Clerk of tlio Court, shows clearly tho intention of the Legisla- . tare; that any other construction _ would deprive the Circuit Judge of li tho right of determining the existence v i of tho charge, and refer it as a qucs- ^ ' tioa of fact to the jury. , In the present case, howevor, the d Court holds that the contempt was ^ jiot of "so gross or heinous character, involving either contumely or disrespect to the Judge, or malpractice of h so gross a kind, as to render them 1: . imnrnnw nfirsons to rfinrosoo-f. ... .rights of others," which only .could ]!> "furnish a just causo for depriving at- ^ torneys of their liccnso to practice. " To inflict so heavy a punishment upon V offences involving no moral turpitude would confound the* gradations of 11 offences, and do very great wrong, a; Tho Court furthor holds that the ' Circuit Judge has annexed an im- j possible condition to. his order in requiring the attorneys to restore the funds of the Bank to the custody of n; the Court, before it could bc^ vacated. ? ' n^liaon fnnrla ova nnur Homer ftHminiu. /-? xuvov/ iuiiuu ~ ?" e> ? \J, .tcrcd by a Bankrupt Court, and..no Jegal proceedings now could restoro jthem to the State Courts. As to the :fees of counsel, tho Court holds that ^ itho prohibition of the order did not iapply, it being applicable to paying out and not to receiving, and hence a that the attorneys not being warned, -were not directly liable for a breach 'of the order. b< Tho decision then of tho Supremo hi Cotirt sustains tho position of Judge .Carpontcr, that the validity of tho ;.order of tho 22d November, had C( - ?it.:?t. - ,1 _ :..M. . t. ^ A, w uuintug iiU uu wiiii uiu huouuii ui ii contempt, that so long as it was not {rescinded it was the doty of the attorneys to obey it, and tb&t by invo- 01 iing the process of another Court they were guilty of a contempt towards the Circuit Court. No authorities are cited'^by the learned Judge in defence of this position, though iti*" Besmstobe very strongly fortified byjas the authorities which Judgo Carpen- uc tcr cites'in his orvn elaborate opinion. The attorneys thon were guilty of a Contempt, which a mere disclaimer of intention to commit, the. Court hojds will not be sufficient to purgo, and thus to conclude all farther proceedings. The error of tbe Cirop.it Judge consisted in imposing excessive punishment, and the caso is remanded to that officer for a modification of his order. We trust that the matter will bo settled now, in a manner not inconsistent with the ^self-respect of all parties. The Financial Problem. The Question of the currency has 1 w beeu the most important which has engaged the attention of Congress duriugthe present session, and the South and West have earnestly demanded more money, either by a re-distribution of the existing circulation, or by an enlargement of the volume of the currency. New York and !New England have about ?100,000,000 more than they are entitled to in a fair and equal distribution of the currency, and the consequence is, that whilst mouey commands here from one to five per cent, per month, the interest there is only some six or seven per cent, per annum. Various remedies have been suggested?free banking, 1 J. 1:4.4.1,, woicn nas met wnii uut nine iiivui either from capitalists or workingmen?a re-distribution of .the currency as urged by Senators Thurman and Feuton, by which it is proposed to give some ?75,000,000 of the existing currency-to the South and "West?or a third plan, advocated by Senator Merrimon, of North Carolina, which enlarges the [egal tendor and national circulation each to.400,000/)00, and provides for its proper distribution, riiis will add ?100^00,000 to the currency of the country^ and though opposed by the leading statesmen and journalists -of the East, hus been earnestly sustained jy those of the South and T,Vest as u ,i?,i i?. UJ iiwvvgcutvu v* :hose sections. Money is very much needed at the South to build up its igricultural and manufacturing in- j erests, and we have iio.?3oubt that ts far-seeing statesmen have formed j 1 proper conception of its necessi- < ies. AVe are at least entitled to a ' troper share of the currency of the ! country, aud it will be our own ] aultit we .foil to retain it when so jestowed. ?<? j Our Couiw.?The Extra Term of j >ur Court opened on Monday last, < lis Honor Judge II.

The storm on Thursday last seems to have been the severest known lor years, and did very great damage to dwellings, fences, and timbers, in many sections of our County. In Edgefield County near the Abbeville line, the storm was especially severe, blowing down the houses of Thos. D. Chamberlain, Jas. Thonipkins and others, together with trees and fencing. Searls' Bridge across Little River lost one arch and two sleepers, which' were carried away by the flood. The rain in the vicinity was the heaviest ever known?creeks higher than ever known before, fenccs carried away, and crops exposed to the mcrcies of the roving stock. Some planters cannot repair their damages in two weeks, Mr. Catlett Corley, with all his hands, took four days to re-build his fences, and repair injuries.
