/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 ]

The Storm on Thursday.
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.

one arch and two sleepers, which' were

stock. Some planters cannot repair
their damages in two weeks,

and repair injuries.
