An listercstiug Will Cane, An interesting case has just been de-j tided by the English Courts, involving! the Will Lord St. Leortards, one of j the most eminent law writers of his day, and known before his elevation tol the peerage, as Sir Edward Sugden.j The lawyer prepared his Will with t great care, but seems not to have taken : the same care with its preservation, and ' upou Ins death, no will was to be found, but only two codicils. The Will had, disinherited the heir at law, and hence was interested in setting aside. Butj decided otherwise, and held j there was no apparent motive; the Will, the testator be-! 1 in existence, and the Court the Will and codicils, allow contents of the missing docu to be set up by Miss Sugden, a; of the testator, j 1875. i Short' Sessions and the Elections o; County Auditor and Treasurer.

Tw^tipp^met in Columbia during the past week, some nineteen Counties principally of the coast, being repre sented, and elected Gen. \\\ \V. Hardee permanent President. A committee oi nine was appointed, to whom all resolu tions were referred without debate, and this committee reported a preamble and resolutions, which formed the main ac tion of th* convention. The preamble reeites the evils which have resulted tr the people of the State from onerous taxation, and whilst admitting thai there has been some amelioration of oui condition, attributes this to the exercise of the veto, and urges upon the tax payers the utmost vigilance to protecl their rights. The following are the res olutions :? lien(tired, That this convention earn estly recommend to the tax payers ol this State a thorough reorganization ol the Tax Unions upon the plan hereto fore adopted. Resolved, That the people should sec to it that one or more Tax Unions be organized in each city, town and town -ship in the Slate, and from these local I 11 ions tnnt touiuy onions and a outu Union be kept alive as the sources from which shall proceed the vital forces, tc he used as exigencies may arise, for the reformation and ultimate rcdomption ol 'lie State, and that to this end the Pres ident of this convention he charged with the duty of securing proper organ izations of such Tax Unions in all places where they are not now in oper ation. Jiciiolvcil, That this convention calls upon the young and active men of the State to use the utmost vigilance in ef fecting this organization of the people, and to employ all fair, honorable and le gitimate agencies to accomplish the -ame, and to rescue the State from her present humiliation and restore her t(j her former dignity and purity. The Grangers and Tolitics. The Courier-Journal hikes issue with the recent course of the National ami Slate Granges, in banishing politic.1 from the Order, on the ground that it it id the object of tlie farmers to obtain relief from the burdens which politi cians impose, they defeat their object b,v keeping aloof. liut is such the object? The eo-operaiivc and social features of the organization receive full justice at the bands of the lecturers of the Order, but beyond these we have seen no au thoritative declaration of the objects o! the Order, It would be hard to impose on the Order duties which they are un willing to assume. Hear the Courier Journal:? iii-wiot tx'lml nm linvo iirwiniutf said. The Grangers want intelligent leadership. They need some sensible and clear-sighted minds to direct their energies and concentrate their efforts against the evil that oppresses them. As long as their organization stands and clamors about ah uses without talcing hold of them, it will appear to the world simply a* an organization of simpletons, lea by demagogues. Its energy ami power will be wasted in fighting shad ows. It will disgust sensible people, and it will finally disappear into thin air, and be remembered only as the tern pary ebullition of a duped, oppressed, uninstrueted and mislead mob. But let it co-operate, with the party that offers to remove its burdens, and on all occa sions oppose the party that has piled up those burdens, and it will finally suc ceed. It will then deserve success, and will confer a blessing on*our misruled au<J emaciated country. . The uiost intelligent among them are beginning to see this," t&d we have great hopes that the organization will yet be rendered as iiiits objects as il is'^1 ready organization, If it will great energies tc win it serve, man, whatever trade." 4 4m>< - -y- ^ General Grant nnd the iVhislty Ring. The removal of Gen. Henderson, the chief prosecutor 111 the St. Louis trial? against the Whisky ring, for words spoken in the ease of Avery, which re flected upon the President, has been generally denounced as a high-handed measure of executive interference with lhe bourse of public justice. General Henderson, the ex-Senator from Mis souri, had been devoting himself with characteristic zeal and ability, to the prosecution of the Government ottiaiab at St. Louis, and had accumulated n mass of evidence which implicated even Babcock, the private secretary of the President, and now since Babcock has been indicted, ana nis services are most needed, he is suddenly removed, <>n the pretext thaUthe attorney's course was not suflleiently respectful to the President. The action of the Government, to say the least of it, is a blunder, and leads necessarily to the popular conclusion that it is afraid of investigation, and in seeking to shield offenders, labors tc cloak its own short-comings. After a refusal by Mr. Reynolds, prominent law yer of iSt. Louis, to accept the position, under the restrictions which the Presi dent imposes, the)>lace is now lilled by one .Broadhead, who promises to be a pliant tool of the Government. A half hearted prosecution may result in a verdict of acquittal for Babcock, but under the circumstances, the result can not affect the popular verdict, or relieve the President from the suspicion which grows out of li}s unwarranted interfer ence, i'J.e Election of Judges. i .ie election of Judges by the Le ! lature last week, wjfi made the occas j of a strict party struggle, and offi which should be. elevated above t plane of party politics, were made tl f subjects of an jpj^ecoming strugg among candidates^whose chief claim j recognition was their fealty to part ;i rather than their qualifications for < tifice. As a consequence, such men, J Reed and Maher have been supplantt "Iby Whipper and Moses, and zealoi -! partisans have been rewarded with ji, i dicial offices, which should only t ,! bestowed upon men of .the highest chai ilacter ami ability. The election 4 j Thursday makes us despair of the go^ I sense and moderation of the ReputM jean party, and of the future of the Stifl under their rule. 9 | The result was brought about, itfl said, by a combination between WhV per, Moses, and Wiggins, and is jfl triumph of the worse element of S Republican party. Above all otheS judicial officers, to whom are entru?^H the protection of the dearest right^^ person and property, should be men M ability and integrity ; but Whipper ht? neither, and the name of Moses is asso ciated with the worst form's of corrup tion. The election of Thursday is a menace to the good people of the State, and strikes a blow at those hopes which many have cherished, of a moderate atid conciliatory policy on the part of the South Carolina Republicans. Per I Imps with the fate of Mississippi before I them, they hope by a strong .effort to . avert aaiinilar fate. But they have eer ; tainly niistakeu the right road. No i party can sustain itselfjong, which dis cards all semblance of decency, and - elevates corrupt men to high offices. Republicanism in SoQth Carolina "has , ever been a mill-stone about t-h*. neck ' of the party leaders elsewhere; and they will all repent the day that elevated Whipperand Moses to office; lion. George II. Pendleton. This distinguished Ohio statesman, whose name is now prominently associ ated with the next Democratic candida cy fot" the Presidency, has been on a visit to Georgia and South Carolina du ring the past week, being on the way to Florida with his family. He made a short visit to Columbia and received much attention from the citizens, ana marked honor in both branches of the Legislature, llis father was a native of Georgia, and he derives his descent from the distinguished Virginia family. He is a gentleman of tine presence, pol ished manners, brilliant talents, and one of the most eloquent orators of the day. The views of such a man and occupying his present position are enti tled to the utmost respect. According to a statement of the licyistcr, "Mr. Pendleton does not converse much upon practical politics. He favors hard money, but thinks that the return to specie payments should be gradual and easy. He is confident of the success of the Democratic party in the next elec tion, if it prove cautious and circum spect in the administration of the power at present entrusted to its keeping in ; the House of Representatives. He I thinks the currency question can be , arranged without difficulty, by recom ' mending a tina! and easy return to spe ( eic payments." , j ?<> The President's Mistake*. So important a document as the an nual message of the chief magistrate, is exposed to a trying ordeal of adverse criticism, which is sure to expose its ' errors of omission and commission, and its deficiencies, verbal and material. Just now the papers point out a mistake | in calling upon Cwngress to provide a , better method of verifying claims against the Government than exists in -l._ /"I ?< ? I.. ! n.l,nn ?lw. t J HIV tuuit in uiuium. tv licit uic n n\;av matter of which he complains is with out the jurisdiction of this Court. Again in recommending the imposition of an educational qualification on the voter, he seems to think that the Na tional Government, and riot the States, i now regulate the suffrage, and that the ; measure proposed by him could he ef fected without an amendment of the Constitution. 1 In that portion of his message advo cating the taxation of church property, he puts the value of that property at , the enormous sum of one thousand . millions of dollars. According to the census of 1S70, the value of church property in the United States was three hundred and fifty-four millions of dol . lars. It is not at all probable that the value of this species of property hns been trebled in five years when it was only doubled ill ten years. Democratic Cancns. At a recent Democratic caucus in Washington, a committee was appointed to suggest to a future meeting a line of policy to be pursued by the party. There was harmony of views with re gard to the duty of the majority of the house. All agreed that they should, as far as possible, effect a reduction of tax ation, and that the government should be honestly and economically adminis tered. Much responsibility devolved tmmi tho mftiiiritv of the house, slthoutrh the Senate was not politically in accord with them. The country desired the stoppage of corruption and wasteful ex penditures, and the Democracy could not expect the people to stand by them unless they stood oy the people. War Issues In Congress. A resolution of Fort, of Illinois, to limit the appointment of sub-ordinate officers of the House to Union soldiers, nailed nut. the first, strlnfc nartv vote of the session. The resolution, after being amended by Cox, of New York, to the I'eet that all citizens of the (jovern it were entitled to eqtial considera was referred to the committee on >uuts, by a vote of 108 to 10L', the Democrats voting aye. The measure was iN^olitical move, aud the result "sltawstfte determination of the Demo crats to squelch all efibrta to revive war issues. On that question the Demo pnitifi rmrtv of the t^juntrv oceunv no uncertain ground. Gov. Chamberlain's Address. The Greenville News publishes an ab stractof the able and eloquent address of Governor Chamberlain, in deliver ing the prizes to the successful compet itors at the Greek examination. The audience was a large and brilliant one, and the address which presented a strong plea in behalf of classical educa tion, was well received. The first prize was awarded to Mr. Dorrah, the second was awarded to Mr. Broadusand Mr. Sanders. Mr. Carpen ter received honorable mention. The candidates were afterwards entertained at an eleeant sunner at the Mansion CONGRESSIONAL. Congress takes n recess from Monday last to Wednesday, 5th January. The House has passed a resolution to make no subsidies to public or private enterprises at the present session, which gives a ouietus to the Southern Pacific Kail road appropriation. The House by a vote of 232 to 18 de clared against a third term of the Pres idency. In the Senate, Morton introduced a resolution taking ground against State sovereignty, and basing the right of jlocal State government upon the pro [ visions of the constitution. 5~ 'J. r V>. l/ux Al'J, V THOS.
