The A??s<vi:i!e Reformed Synod which, recently met at T.ouKville, Georgia, did | the Very best thing possible for their' church in the election of the Kev. \V. M. Grier, 1>.

P.eitci ?rien or bettor writers arc not to be founu , anywhere. and tiiu public are t<? be congratulated or> the wisdom of the Synod. Those gentlemen will confer honor on the jTrofession of editor, and will make their paper an ornament anions th > religious pressor iin* ( (liimrv. iiicreisin jwjiur which we read v. itli more pleasure than the A*?ociuie Hcfonnal Pi-cx/wfcri'tu, and Vve know whereof we speak when we re-' cord the fact of its excellence. The high tone ftnd the purity ef it* language all j commend it as a most excellent family newspaper for people of eveiy laith. 'l'he modesty and the ability of the editor-inoiiief ?s well known to our readers, but we will copy the article of I)r. Grior in \vhieli he announces that he ha*been ap])oiuled editor. Whon a man can rise to the eminence of saying some things contained therein,he may restassured of commanding the highest respect of the reading public: "A Statkmknt. ? At the* inootiniof Synod which has just closed its sessions, the undersigned was appointed editor of this paper, with I)r. James Boyce and Kev. i-:. L. Patton as associate editors.

Those principles and practices which this church loves ami which it seeks to perpetuate, are the principles and practices jo which this paper will lend :i cordial and unwaveris.g support, Recognizing the fact that free discussion is the ??est aid to the discovery of truth and its only wise defence, honest dissent will always receive the respectful and candid consideration of those who love the truth more than they love any church name and who seek it rather than the glory of any denomination. So long then as diffcreuces of opinion are maintained and supported in consistency with the dignity of truth, so lon^ as the advocates of those different opinions shun the litlo>iess of mere rjnorulousness and factiousness, those columns are open to them. With an earnest desire, as 1 trust, to serve inv day and generation, I would earnestly invoke the divine blessing upon my efforts in this new Held of labor. "\V. M. Gitxcr..'' Bail Company. Since the day that Adam ate the forbiJ/lnr? .,,,,1 lii.l I 111. Iil inir. nil l'vn innii lias been prone to excuse himself for his tiins. JOn Ihis subject tlie Greenville Sews makes the following just remarks: One of the most familiar tendencies of wand kind is to seek even for their own hearts some palliation of otit;noes ofl which they have been guilty. In obedience to this, sonic comparatively venal fault is almost invariably chosen, and tho responsibility for all tiie sins, shortcomings and misfortunes of a life time solemnly laid upon it, making it servo as a scape goat for the great encampment of weaknesses and wickednesses in every human heart. One of the favorite selections for this service is that made by the unfortunate man who suffered a shameful death in Spartanburg on Friday?"Had J 'company." Probably this has been assigned as the cause of all their troubles by tlie large majority of those who have died at rope's ends; it is to be met with j everywhere in criminal literature and has! been woven into almost every obituary ballad of hanged men that was ever written. It softens crime until analyzed. "We are prone to accept it as in the nature j of an excuse, and to conclude that the I man was not so bad after all, but was soj unfortunate as to be led astray by evil companions. Investigation would probably show j that in most of the cases the criminal j who complains of having been ruined by i "bad company" was the worst of all that company and*did much the largest share of tho ruining. Aside from that, however, there is really no necessity for a man lo go into bad company to a dagerousex>, tent. There is always an abundance ol good company to be found for the seeking. We cannot see that the man who ignores it and seeks the bad is to be pitied or excused. He has his choice and .makes hits selection in accordance with his ta^ie and appetites, and is exactly in til-' Natr.c position as any man who becomes a <<riinittul bv following bis inclinations and gratifying his vicious tendencies. A man whose heart and prineiplosaiesound will never suffer from bad company, l'or the simple reason that he will never ;;o with it?it will be inevitably distasteful and repugnant to him. ?C- ? -O The Railroad Case. It will be seen that in another part of our paper we publish the judgment of tho Supre Court in the matter of claims | of tho parties injured by the accident on j the Anderson branch of the Greenvilleand Columbia Railroad in 1^74. Novel and ' extremely interesting principles were involved. Th< ;lainis were established bv the verdi ' of a jury in this county. The legal difficulties in the way of payment were great. The road was j tinder mortgage to bondholders to an ex-} tent beyond its value. Those mortgages were prior to the judgment recovered fori the injuries aforesaid and at that time there scenud no possibilitj* of securing payment. In this state of the case \V. C. lionet, Esq., one of the counsel for the plaintiffs, took the matter in hand. He claimed that tho road was in the hands of ft Receiver when the injuries were inflicted and tho judgments were obtained and that they should be paid out of tho funds in the handsof the Receiver without reference to the property or the liens upon it. The Master of Richland county reported against him and the Circuit Judge, Hudson, confirmed his report, but Mr. Renct appealed to the Supreme Court, j where his ingenious argument gained the; case, and the money will now be paid, j \Ve congratulate the plaintiffs upon their j good fortune in having secured the services of one so able and indefatigable. . The Michigan Sufferers. There arc in that section of Michigan j visited by the forest fires about 20,OHO peo- ; pie, nil of whom suffered more or less by i the flames, many of them losing every- j thing they had. Nearly all of them are dependent now on the charity of tho public to protect them from want and suffer-! ing. They were left without food, cloth- ! ing, or shelter, the garnered crops having! been destroyed, and their houses eon-1 sumed by the fire. And now, to add to the sad story of their sufferings, disease j from exposure to inclement weather, and j want of proper and sufficient food, has broken out among thein and many of j them aredying. And yet in all these vast i United States the sum raised for their relief docs not exceed $80,000, and this contributed by New York, Boston and a few other cities. It is one of tho strange peculiarities of human nature that men will contribute thousands for a sentiment where the3* will not contribute dollars to ? Minritv n?nP!il< t.O tllfiin with a naked body, starved stomach and teardimmed eyes. It would ho a far easier matter to raise ten thousand dollars to erect a shaft over a dead soldier's gravo than it would to raise one-tenth of that sum to food ti:e dead soldier's children. The admirers of a living ex-President found no difficulty in raising for him a purse of 8250,000, though he was rich without it, while the sympathetic ollerings to the noble widow of the murdered President roach the magnificent sum of over $330,000. We do not call attention to this last splendid demonstration of the considerate thoughtfnlness of our people for the purpose of finding fault, for we approve of it, and are proud of it, but it il- ! Instrates the point which we are making. At this hour there are thousands of those j sticken Micnigan people without a handful of food save what charity supplies. j Houseless, and almost naked, winter soon ! to bo upon them, an.1 yet there is no more' save in a few cities to raise anything lor their relief. This should not be so, for! when humanity sutlers hutnauity ought; to relieve, if it can. Heal charity is better than sentiment. If there were move of it there would be more sunshine in this world of ours, and the recording angels would have a better record to make. Franklin J.

[Ch'trlr.lle Qbsrcvcr.] | Col. Wm. Johnson retnmod yesterday | from a short visit to Aalunta, whore he vi-ited the grounds of the Exposition in company with Kx-Governor llullock ol Georgia. The Colonel was full of Atlanta ami the Exposition. Here are some o! the things he said abont both to a reporter <>f tin* (t'lservcr, who had a eon versa linn with him. "V-.'s," ho sai.l. "it is going to boa l>i*_r; t!nn.r. No doubt about it. Atlanta itself j is decidedly tlio most progressive place in the South, and for that matter more s > than any city in the older States. A new steam cotton factory of 10,000 spindles, and Siio now houses besides, are now actually in eourse of erection. Kverthing is done with a rush and a visit there puts one to wondorini; why we can't inspire | our own city with some of this push and i energv. ...II Ii.v t.v,,.,.-,,,.,,,? ! es, I'm coming to that.

I From a central square of ai>out 200 yards the four wings ol the main building diverge?two of them to a length of 10 ) yards and the other two to 70 yards, llejsides the main building there are many more small buildings in the grounds? about loo acres. Among these is a large hotel <>f aiI'J rooms, which is also finished I I and elegant. Handsome evergreens and j : shrubs are being daily sot out around the > buildings and throughout the ground*. I The accommodations for an immense! is'oek display are magnificent ami, "my i | goodness," said the Colonel, growing! | warm with enthusiasm, "it is really as-1 Itonsshing how much those people have! done with nothing but individual sub-1 ! scriptions. 'I'lioappointments are not on- J !y perfect, but are on a gigantic scale." j "Well, what about the attendance?! Will the North and West bo there?" ! "Yes. 1 was assured not only by my own observation of the preparations, but ! bv the managers that the North and West 1 would eomo with numbers and with suli: stance. Among the nroofs of this is the | fact that the owner* of Northern machine j works, cotton maun factories and various other industries are now engaged in erccti ins suitable buildings for their own displays. The grounds are already covered jwilh articles for disply, and 1 was told i that goods shipped three weeks ago from | various points in the North and West were still on route, from the great presj sure of freight lor the exposition on the j roads entering Atlanta. I "And the South ?" J "I believe every Southern State will be ! well represented, if they are not it is a ! loss of tho b \st opportunity thov have icver had to advertise their resources and ' invite.immigration and capital. The Cotj ton States association, of which by tho I way, Mr. Morehend, of Vicksburg, Miss., j a fortner:|North| Carolinian, is President, j is in active sympathy and full co-operaition with the management of the exposition. It will without doubt be the greatest thing of the kind the South has ever known, and 1 am persuaded that it will result in incalculable g >od to us." "Will there bo any foreign exhibitions?" "Oh yes; the exposition will not be confined to the United States. Jt will be decidedly cosmopolitan, although, of course, it will as intended be much more I full in displays of American and especially of Southern products manufactures and minerals. "Lastly, Colonel, but by no means I least, wil North Carolina's display do her I credit?" .1 r l T l,?vi nvnri I "1 illl UilJ>JlV HI llla> 1 iw, vv.v.,, , reason to believe that it will. I assured the gentlemen of the management that I we would heat the world in displays of minerals and of commercial herbs and! roots. In the latter field the house ofj Wallace Bros., of Statcsville, will make( an exhibit of 2,000 distinct specimens. I Til the department of ores und minerals! and woods, wo will also, I think, be! first. The State Agricultural Department j has devoted itself to the collection of! these last for a display at the exposition,! and besides, it will make a handsome ag-1 rieultural exhibit. The Piedmont Air-! Line also draws extensively on North j Carolina for its display ; and in this con-j nection I wish you would say that every I farmer in North Carolina ought to go to s Hie exposition before frost to rf?e the grow-! ing crops on the ground if for nothing! slse. There are patches of all the food] and grass crops of the South, besides cot-i ton iu every variety, not only of growth j and size, but of quality, of Southern and ! Oriental productions. A very interest-1 ing feature of this growing cotton cxhibi-! lion is the fertilizer experiments. Sidej by side are rows of cotton cultivatep with ! different brands of commercial fertilizers,! and also rows without these forcing agents i at all. It is demonstrated right there that j cotton can be raised in the climate of North (Jeorgia without them. Any Southern! farmer who takes any interest in his bus-j in ess would feel repaid for a trip to At-' lanta in seeing these practically useful, as j well as intensely interesting expert-' :r.cn!s," ? m- *> ?

IJnt; in such things sis these, even if we count! in our gold mines and our kaolin beds," there are other States which can at lcsisti equal the exhibits we can make. In rice!

'ourt in the year I*7ii, after compensation for tlie injuries had been asked from and refused by the Itaiiroad Coinpuny. The Itaiiroad Company, as defendant, ' f moved for a change of venue from Anderson, | on account of t.lie excited state of the public 1 mind, anil prejudice against the railroad. >( The venue was accordingly changed to Abbeville: ami the four cases were tried together : at this Court liou^e, at a special term of our Circuit Court held here by Judge Maekey, In ! the end of April, lsT.s. Naturally a great deal of interest was taken in the trial of these cases by the public. The ! people of Abbeville still remember the great cloud of witnesses brought hither from An- I I ilerson by both plninillTs and defendants.'Then there was a great array of lawyers. K. ; M. iirown and wife, and Claudius lirown'a ease were represented by (ten.S. Me'iownn.of Abbeville, and Messrs.

It Is Koine-'! what remarkable that throe of the lawyers : then engaged in these oases have since then ' been raised to llio judicial Bench, anil they , are now known as Chief Justicc Simpson, As- J' |sociate Justice MeGowan. of the supreme j Court, and Judge Cothrau of the Eighth Judi- ' : olal Circuit. I. | All during the progress of the trial, the; i Court House was crowded with spectators.! j The suits were hotly contested on both sides,:' I ami the counsel for plain tills and defendants I, i did their utmost endeavor in their arguments | I before the Jury. The closing argument further 'plaintiffs, hy (jen. McGowan, was not; jtlnlshed until eleven o'clock at night;' i ttml before Judge Mackey oonciudrd his! charge it wus near midnight. But lilsr I Honor, who thinks that "nl^ht Is the time to j | work," sent the jury into the Jury room, ami1 I a waited tlioir verdict. It was about two; ! o'clock on the morning of 1st May, H7X, when j the Jury came into Court with the following1 | verdicts: I For the plaintiff* Mr. E. M. Brown and Emily his wife, 3N,(XKI and costs. For Mr. ltedwood S'.yiOU and costs. For Mr. Cu in minus A.VJOand costs, i In Claudius Brown the boy'n cms?, the Jury found for the defendant. I Against these judgments the Railroad Com-! patiy cave notice of appeal, which appeal,1 I however, went no farther. I llore, then. It was thought, was a groat vie- j tory gained for the injured passengers. But), it. was soon found that the Judgments thus re- j I covered were likely to prove hollow and val-: j u el ess; that it was Impossible to enforce ex c- j ' cutlon against the property of the Kail road \ I Company, hrcanse of an order of the Court of ! Equity of Richland county passed by Judge' | Melton, 1sth June. I5i72, enjoining and rc-| straining all parties from enforcing judgments j aud executions against the railroad property. An attempt to do so would have rendered tho judgment creditor liable to a contempt and , imprisonment. I-or a while all hope of realizing tho many judgments called for was given up alike by | lawyers and clients. It was known that the , road was completely carpcted with mortgages, land that except by the summary process of } levy undexecution on whatever was leviable, I the money could not be made,and their very I process was enjoined. The order of injunction continued or force until iMrd November, ! 1S7S. when by order of Judge Pressley, Gen. [James Conner, of Charleston, was made Receiver of the railroad. j Under Receiver Conner's administration j there was about one hundred thousand dollars ! 011 hand of surplus funds, after paying fbr im-! provenients and expenses. 1 This large fund of earnings In the custody , ..r .1? ,.r I.V.?-..f ,w>t ...ivi.riwl liv I tin 1 ' mortgage# which overspread ail the tangible ] properly, the mrjuix, of the railroad: nncl as . soon as Mr. lionet discovered that so large a!, "Receiver's fund" existed, upon which bond- , holders and mortgagees as such could have no prior claim, he wont to Columbia and proved | t lie Brown, Red wood, and Cumniings claims i before the Master.

Judge Kershaw, tlien presldlngin Richland county, made an order of reference to | the Master. The reference was held,and Mr. 1 llenet urged the payment of the Judgments mainly on thr following grounds: First, Because the order of Judge Melton, 18th June, ' l.s72. hud made lite President and Directors.

The argument for the petitioners was based J osi the same grounds* as had been present; d to | the Master, and with the same result. Judge' Hudson's decree, was against the petitioners.!

I A flairs continued in this situation until Sldji November, 1S7S, when Judge Pressley made 11 an order in which it is said : "I consider that] < the Mild order of Judge Melton did make the j' officers of the Greenville and Columbia Itaii-j road Company oflicrs of this Court and re- < sponsible to It In tiie character of Receivers; J ( but they have not executed the proper bond, i > nor have they tilod their accounts or perform- , ed the other duties required b> that order.

After this order was made, James Conner, as Receiver, took charge of the road and all the property oi the company and for some time conducted the operations of the road very successfully, and after meeting all current expenses of his administration and Investing a considerable sum out of the in-; come in necessary rolling stock. <fcc., had on j bund and has turned over to the Master of this j Court a considerable sum arising from Income. Ity tho order of tho Court the road and nil ItB outfit and all the properly of the company mr been sold by the master. The sum real- ^ zed was sufficient to pay nil the first mort/cage bonds,and the guaranteed bond*. The icoond mortgage bonds constituted a third len on the property and after exhausting the irooeeds of the sale, and all the t&urulu* of neotne there would still be a large deficiency ( it the amount necessary 10 pay these bonds. I The petitioners In the cases before the Court I ire not lien creditors. They Halm, however, I lhat they have a light to be paid out of rtlie I income; lhat their claims were expenses In- 1 urred during the period In which the rail- i road was In tne hands of a Kecelvcr, or If not [i Keeei ver co nomine In the hands of persons uppolnted by, rcspohsiblu to, and acting uti-j iter, the orders of the Court, which had enjoined the enforcement of Judgments against the property of the company. The petitioners have unnecessarily compli- j rated their cases by suing them to Judgments In the Court of Common 1'leitK, in which they are severally parties plaintiffs and the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company dei'endant. The first three cases were claims for injuries done to passengers 1 June, 1N74. Thearnounts' of the Judgments are; for Brown and wife,; jK.l.tT.lf.; Redwood, and Cuinmlngs, < brJ.ilvi.U1'. ! The last case was for Injury resulting in the death of John T. I.ayne, an engineer in the employ of the Company, or rather those who made the order of theCouil hadehargeof the road and directed Its operation. The injury i resulted from a defective boiler. In this ease there was a judgment by consent of tliecoiin*el of the administratrix and the counsel of: managers of the road. l'The President and Directors" had the company represented bv t counsel In these cases, ami so far as appears , raised no objection to tlie appearance on the( p trt of the company. It Is notelear that there I I'ouJd nave own any vauu oujri-tmn huku to a suitagainst the company as only the en-' forcement of judgments was enjoined. These claims are all pressed in this ca?c not, Dn account of their mule as judgments hut on j account ot the cause of action on whleh those: liuk'nieiits are based. It would have hecn ! more regular to have based the claim in the i Court of Knnlty at once on these several I [ auses of action. This however, would have! opened the eases anew, and led to a very long! md expensive Investigation. It is as well, j therefore, and perhaps the duty of the Court,; lo disregard the mere form and (real thejudg-j mcnls as they seem to have been regarded by I nil parlies as sufficient- evidenceof the nature; of the claims and amounts due on them sev-; prally. 'ihcFe claims were rcferrcil to the) Master, wore reoorted on unfavorably, and the report confirmed by the Circuit Judge, | mui tills imiipni Ik from lils in I i u lt. Claims for; cotton lost unci also counsel fees for pro Cos-1 Kional services rendered alter the comm?-nee- j incut of the proceedings l?y tlic creditors i tt gainst tho Greenville anil Columbia Ilnllroad ! Company have been paid out of the Income | made b.v the Receiver, James Conner, but It | iloes not follow that these claims which are j contested by I he lien creditors, should also be l>ald out of the fund. They must stand on j their own merits. These claims arose during the management' of the road by "the President and Directors" J under the order of the Court and before the j aiipoint men t of Receiver Conner." The Pres- j blent and Directors did not turn over to Receiver Conner any surplus ot income and it i was claimed by tlie petitioners and conceded ! for tho purposes of these cases that a eotisld-1 prable amount of the Income during the ad- j ministration of the President and Directors' was paid out as interest on the bonds held by I the lien creditors. The fact, was not settled | by the Presiding Judge, but it seems not to; have boon seriously questioned In the urmi-j mentand In the view taken by this Court of i these cases it is not material what the fact Is. I The question of u diversion of the income to interest becomes Important when claims which ought to be paid out have not been paid and such income lias been diverted to! the payment of Interest, and the question Is J whether such Income so diverted shall not berestored out of the sale of the property. In; this case there Is no such question. There isa j considerable stun turned over by Receiver to the Master and now under the control of the Court of Kquit.v. If the order of the Court of! I'd July, 1872, crcated a Receivership in fact, I then the mere transfer of tlm?. officeto Re-! eel ver Conner certainly cannot have the etlect jf invalidating claims wtitcti wcregooa uimer the first administration. Tho mamigcincntof j the Court is otic even If It becomes necessary i to change the Receivers once, twice or oftcner., rlaims against Receivers would stand on a [ very unstable basis It' they could be defeated j l>y a change which con Id so easily be made, l'he questions therefore arc these: 1. was the order direetlhc "the President und Directors of the Greenville and Columbia ! Kul I mad Company," '*to continue in the pos-j session and management of the property of; nil kinds of the company" and to conduct j und carry oil the business under the order of j und subject to this Court "and to make re-j port" that orders * * may from time to) lime he moved for "pending litigation," the j appointment of a Iteeeiver. If not in name ivae It so in substance? 1'. What are tho relations of such n Receivership to third parties with whom It may liave transaclions In reference to the property md business of the corporation,?shippers, passengers, employees, Ac.? It is true that this ordpr of 2<1 July, 1S72. was somewhat anomalous. It was without bond [hat the President and Directors of theOreenfille and Columbia Railroad Company were ntrusted with valuable properly, but they iverc not the owners of tlio property and it ivas competent for the Circuit Judge to dispense with the security, and if 111 his judgment they were proper persons for the appointment it was in ills discretion to make it. [t is true that it was no individual by name I hat was appointed but It was an organized tioard whose identity was provided forand sc;nred by the rules laid down for preserving ihe vital ty of the corporation whose exponent it was. It is perhaps a peculiar appointment but It was competent for the Court to make it. High on Receivers, 00, G7, OS, SI, as to persons to be appointed. All the essential powers of a Receiver were conferred by this order. Jt Is the business of Ihe Receiver "to rceeive anil .preserve the aroperty" pendente lite, the Court Itself having Ihe care of the property by its Receiver. I The Receiver has no powers oilier than J :ho'<e conferred on him by the order of hisap-j jolntment. or such as may be derived from I ihe established practice of Courts of Equity."' [lieh on Rec I. These officers, "The President and Direct-: irs" were ordered "to continue in the posdon and management of the property" and jonduetand carry on the business of the com- ( pany" and "make reports," ttint further! uders may be made. In the order oi .Judge I'ressly of 21 November, 1S7H; James Conner ivas appointed Receiver to nomine, and her iras required "to demand and receive pos-j session of all the property of the company, to j teep and preserve the same suhj?ct to the I ont.rol, order and direction of the Court | 'with power anil authority to manage and I ipcrate the said railroad, to receive and (lisjurse the income, the disbursement to ho onflned to the expense of running the road." [n the first case the sweeping power Is given to conduct and carry on the business of the ompnny," and in Use latter the power is iomewhnt limited in the mut ter of cxpendlures of income. Every essential feature of teeel vership was created by the ortlcr of 2 Ful.v, 1*72, and the otllee ought to have been ;o called, and to be treated so now after the tropcriy has been, at the Instance of the iredltors, held for eight years It* tbe same vay as If it had been In name it was in iuhstanee a Rccel vership. (See opinion not yet published, delivered ?y Aldrieh Judge, sitting for Mr. Justice Mcjoivan in t he ease cr rrl. Attorney General it C. It H. Co., in the matter of 51 first liortga-ic bonds.) Having come to conclusion that thepropery of the Greenville and Columbia Kallroad ,'oinpatiy ha" been in the hands of Receivers li nee the order of 2 July, 1S72, and the Road iperated by tlio Receivers, it remains to deermine what are the liabilities of the Re:ei vers. The Railroad Company was a common enr ier and as If In anticipation of events which lave come to pass, the charter of the CoinmnyA. A. l*M.>p. .'>2X, sea xill, provided for he right to let or farm out to others the right )f transportation of person, produce, Ac., and hat t lie Company in the exercise of this right md the persons to whom this right of conveyance and transportation should be lot, hall In so far as tliey net on the same be retarded as "Common Carriers." It would be 1 in easy way to defeat the wise purposes of the '.legislature if on the application of a mort:age creditor the Railroad and all thelinporant and valuable franchises of tiic Company I ould be put, by an order in Chancery, In the |1 lands of .i Iteeivcr, who could for years, as j n the case before the Court, conduct tho operations of the Railroad and enjoy the franchises of the company, ontrustod to it on con- 1 (derations of an enlightened public policy,! md yet escape the responsibilities of the] lie common carriers. The convonlencc of]1 ransporiation of persons and property, se ured by this responsibility constituted In ' argo measure the inducement to the I.oglsla,nre to exercise the right of eminent domain md transfer to railroad companies valuable "ranchises and In some crises, against their .Mil, the property of private citizens. The an i ent of opinion seems to be very decidcdly n favor of the view that Railway Receivers ire common carriers. Itissaidin High on Receivers, section .Tf.'R: 'Receivers In possession of anil operating a railway under appointment of a Court >f Equity may be held liable as common carriers for negligence In the performuice of their duties."' In Jones on Railroad Securities, section 311, ive find I bent words: "Rut considerations of public policy may likely lead to the adop1 Ion >f the rule that a receiver shall not be allowed to exercise the rights and powers of a common carrier without being also held subject to a common carrier's duties nnd liabilities." fVnd this we hold to be the bettor doctrine. The ease of Davenport v. R. R. Company, i Woods, 51!i, was one for the recovery of damages for a personal Injury, and In it. Judge Wood says : "It was regarded as too clear for argument that if the road had been run by Ihe President and Directors when tlio Injury | ivns sustained, such a claim could not possi bly have priority, but the Receivers act merely in place of the President and Directors, except so far only as the Court may otherwise ill reel.'* In one sense the Rccelverdrcs so act, liut in another sense especially in that sense, which Is important In these issues lie does not soact. The Receivership Is the transfer of Ihe property to a new owner, who begins his work cut oil from the pasf, with new duties nnd new obligations. The Court could order a sale at once,*and lot new and absolute owners take the property and assume their proper liabilities to third parties. If instead of Jolng this a Rtcclver Is appointed he represents technically the Interest of an Insolvent corporation, but really and substantially the interest of creditors, who ought not to be allowed to enjoy the franchises and property ol the corporation without its responsibilities. The Intimation is given by Ch. J. Waite in Fosdlck vs. Sehnll, 9 Ott<\ 254. that eases may arise In which it would be proper to apply a part of the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged property to tno payment of expenses Incurred during the Hccelvershlp. while the opinion In that case throws a flood d( light on the subject of the payment of the expenses of a Receivership and the mode of tDelr payment, as well as the general relations >f all creditors to tiie income, there Is nothing in the ease specially applicable here, as In . Ihe view taken by tills Court, there Is a fund irislng from the income during the time the property lias been under the control of the Jourt In the hands of its appointees out of which can be paid the claims of petitioners. Under tlio order of 2d July, 1872, the PresiIcnt anil Directors wore instructed "to con met una carry on uic ounncnn <>i uiowm[Winy." TiiIm is language certainly broad 1 jnough to authorize the payment for losses uid damages usually paid for by a railroad jompany, if any order on the subject wasnecjssary. If there lias been a Receivership of :tils railroad since 2d July,lS72, and Receivers tro common carriers, there can be no doubt of ;he liability of the Receiver In all these caseR. In Kinney vs. Crolter, in Wis. 7-1, it was held hat aState Court could entertain Jurisdiction >f an action acalnst a Receiver appointed by he United Slates Court for injury to the >lalntiff, In that case, from negligence of the mipioyees. In Mcara's udtnln. vh. Ilolbroolt, | 10 Ohio Rt. 137; it was held that a Receiver 1 vas liable for injury to an employee. These I loctrines arc of themselves In accord with ' ho best reason and pnbllo policy and sutli- ' ilently sustained by authority In cases where 1 he whole Held is new and comparatively wn- 1 !xplaln<-d. If the Receiver Is liable, and there is noth;iK to show and no Intimation that there was , tny personal fault so as to make lilin person-; illy liable the claims ought to be paid out of, j he fund In Court. No question of Jurlsdlc-1, Ion between two Courts has arisen here as In |; nost of the cases on this subject, it Is there- >! ore ordered and adjudged ttiut the decree of ' he Circuit Judge be reversed, and that the' rises be remanded to the Circuit Court, that } iroper orders may be made for the payment;: ?f these claims in accordance with the views (I <<>rnin exnressed.

Booiek, Clerk. |> riic Newspaper?To Whom Does il, j Belong and Why Is it Published t [Xcuim and Courier.] i Some persons In Anderson county, Routtt i ^nfollna, who ar? in favor of tlio repeal of 1 Lho Lien law have tone po far as "to slop Miclr paper.'' The p:iper which they stopped, i In thesenscof dcnylhg themselves the Bat- i isfaction and advantage of rending It any longer. is the Andnsun Intelligencer, whlnli j upposefi the proposed repeal of tho law. it Is presumed that the Irate Anderson lans had not paid for their papers in advance. When a nevrspaper has been paid for in advance (lie reader rarely docH more than resolve, iti a moment of irritation, that lie will not renew bin subscription, i.nd by the tiincthut six or twelve months have passed he has lis- i unity had occasion to pet in a good humor! again. When the the stopping a paper cause* I Ihc subscriber to lose something that "be has actually paid for, he is apt to jftuso and consider. In saving expense Lhe stoppage then ! will do the I)ewpaper good Instead of harm. So we suppose the Anderson Jans had not paid for their paper, and felt entiicly Indc-! pendent. So does the Inlclliiicncer. 'l'hat pa-| per Improves the occasion by giving Its read-, ers generally some wholeson e talk, the gist' of which is that It does not expect or try to, agree with every person, and that "the newspaper which does Is 110 account." The /<?lelii'joiror then says: Public qut-stIons arise continually, and as! the.v come up we are expected to present our! views upon them. We have always done so; freely, (andidly and as plainly as we have been able, and Intend as long as we remain in li.iirniillsnilrnliilin. II. is nut. to be eXDCftCd ' ili.it we shall Hwayg agree with the opinion* entertained by all of pur subscribers, or even, a majority of them, and we never stop to In- i quire whether we are In accord with their' views or not. We give our opinions for what j they are worth, and any subscriber or citizen J who deslrt-4 to combat thctn will be afforded I the amplest opportunity of doing so. In nil j important Issues tlie course of tlie Intelli'/encrr j lias been clear and unmistakable. We I not now intend to be dodging about In search ' ot the popular side of any question, and if; our friends want to advance tln-lr opinions it' must be by arguments published to combat! our arguments. They cannot drive us by die-: till Ion toany course. The paper which can be turned from Its true opinions by popular; clamor, or by considerations as to the ctteet the expression of its opinions may have on its subscription list, Is either pitifully wealc j In ability or deplorably corrupt in Its mor-1 r.Is. We shall continue to advocate what, we believe to bo right. and oppose what ive think ! wrong or injurious, whetner the majority bei with or opposed to us on any question." i This Is manly and right, and tlie Intrlh'gcn-j cr does a service to the press of the State In j speaking so plainly. Nowhere Is there more j apparent coufuslon concerning the relations j of the pres? to the public than In South Car-1 olina, and I t all tlows from Inability or unwlil-1 bigness to realize tlie simple truth that the: newspaper belongs to those who publish il and not to those who read it. Mr. Charles j Dudley Warner, of the Hartford Vouraut, puts this clearly in his recent address before the! Social Science Association. Mr. Warner.said: I "The newspaper is a private enterprise. Its j object is to make money for its owner. Whatever motive may be given out for starling a ! newspaper, expectation of profit by It is the j real one, whether the newspaper is religious,: political, scientitlc or literary. The excep-j lional cases of newspapers devoted to ideas or i 'causes' without regard to profit are so few as | not to effect the rule. Commonly the cause,; the sect, the party, the trade, thedeluslon, the ! idea gets lis newspaper, Itscrgan.llsudvocate, only when sumo In dividual thinks be can see a pecuniary .return in establishing It. This motive is not lower than that which leads j people Into nny other occupation orprofes-. slon. To make a living ftnd to linvc 11 career I is the original incentive in all ease11. Even In j purely philanthropic enterprises the driving | wliect that keeps them In motion for any length of time Is the snlury paid the working I members. "The excellence of a newspaper Is not always measured by Its profitableness; 111<generally true that it' it does not pay its owner it i Is valueless to the publle. Nolan newspapers j which make money are cood, for; some succeed by catering to the lowest tastes of re-J spectablc people, and to the prejudice, ignor- j anccand passion of the lowest class; tint as a i rule thefiueees fid journal pecuniarily is the j best journal. 1 lie reasons tor this are on the I surface. 'Hie Impecunious newspajicr cannot give its renders promptly the news, nor able | discussion of the news, nnd,still worse. II can-! not b? independent. The political journal | that relies for support upon drippings of par- j ty favor or patronage; the general newspaper'' thai t)uds It necessary to existence to manlp- < ulate stock reports; the religions weekly that i draws precarious support from pulling doubtfnl enterprises; the I'.terary paper that depends upon the approval of publishers, are jioor affairs, and in tiie long run or short run j conies to grief. Some newspapers do succeed j t?y sensationalism, as some preachers do; by] a kind of quackery, ns pome doctorsido; by. trimming and shifting to any momentary! popular prejudice, as some politicians do; by becoming the paid advocate of peisotiul ambition or a corporate enterpiise, as some lawyers do; but-the newspaper on.y becomes a j .eaJ power when it is able 011 the basis of pecuniary Independence to free itself from all such entanglements. An editor who stands | with hat In hand has the respect accorded to! any other be.'uer." 'i Irj recognition of the fact tliat the newspaper is a pri vate and purely businessenterprlse ] will help to define the mutual relations of the' editor nnd the public. Mr. Warner says: "Ills claim upon the public is exactly that; of any manufacturer or dealer, it is that of the ma 1 who makes cloth or the grocer who opens a shop; neither ha" a right to e miplain if the publiu docs not buy of him. if the buyer does not. like a cloth hall shoddy or codec halt ehickory, he will go elsewhere, if the subscriber does not like one newspaper lie takes another, or none. The appeal for news-1 paper support on the grouud that such a Jour- j uai onijlit to bo sustained by an enlightened j coinmunitv, or on any othcrground limn thai | it Is a gi>od article thai people want?or u ould want it they knew its value?is purely childish, in this age of the world. It any per>on wants to start a periodical devoted to decorated teapots, with the noble view of Inducing the people to live up to his Idea of a teapot, i very good; but he has no right to complain if! he fails. On the other hand the public has no! In 1 ho nouvivinnr ivluit it tmlvk fur; even the 'old 'subscriber' iiiis noneexcept to (iron the paper If It ceases to please lihn. The notion Unit the subscriber hits aright to! interfere in the conduct of the paper, or the i reader to direct Its opinions, is based on a misconception of what the newspaper Is." There is another point which Mr, Warner makes Regarding the claim of the public to have communications published, lie ays;! "Whether the.v shall be printed or not rests in j "the discretion of the editor, having refer- i "ence to his own private Interest and to his! ''apprehension <>( the public good. Nor is ho, "bound to give anj' reason for his refusal. It "is purely In his discretion whether he will "admit a reply to anything that has appeared "in his columns. No one has n right to de"mand it. Courtesy and policy ma> grant It. "but the right to It does not exist" Then again "the advertiser ?ci|tiircs no more rich!* "in the newspaper than the subscriber, llel* "entitled to use the space for which he pays, "by the Insertion of such material as is approved by the editor.. Jle gains no interest "in any other part of the paper, and has no "more cjaim to any space in the editorial eol"umn than any other one of the public. To "give film such space would be unbusiitCfcs"15ke and the extension of a preference which "would be unjust to the rest of the public, j "Nothing more quickly destroys the eharac"terof a Journal, besets distrust of It, and so 'reduces its value, than the well-formed sus"pleion that its editorial columns are the property of advertisers. Kven a religions Jour"nul will, iift?*r awhile, be injured by this." There is nothing In all tills to effect what to most people Is the most important aspect of int.* new jipttpcr, me cimor s responsibility 10 Llio public tor its content*. Mr. Warner s.iys: I ' Jt iM su (Helen t briefly to say. here, that It is j ( exactly the responsibility of every other person in society?the full responsibility o'his h opportunity. He lifts.volur.turlly taken a po- [ suion in which lie can do u great deal of good ij or a great deal <>f evil, and lie should he held ! i ncdjudgedby ills opportunity. Jt is greater j I than that of the preacher, the teacher, the < congressman, the physician, He oecuplesthcf < loftiest pulpit; he is in his teacher's desk sev-|: en days In the week; his voice can be heard i further than that or the most lusty foghorn j politician; and often, i am sorry to say. his columns outshine the shelves of the druegest I In display of proprietary medicines. Noihlng j else ever Invented has the public attention as i the newsp per has, or is an Influence so con-11 sUntand universal. It is this large onportu- i nity that has given the Impression that the newspaper Is n public rather than apilvate I enterprise." i This is true 10 the letter. The newspaper has enormous power forgood and for evil, and 1 when that power Is abused the penalty is sure to follow. In.Sou th Carol inn and in the South generally there has been a very erronocous and mischievous Idea of the functions of the newspaper. Jt has been regarded usually as public property, which everybody lias a right to control except those who pay theweelily bills. That sort of thing Is Incompatible with independence In Joumallsh. The newspaper is the a:- tolutc property of Its owners to do with , as tliey please, and their self-interest, to take no higher motives into accout.cau be depend-1 ed on to cause the newspaper to move in liar- , mony with the best thoughts and interests of the people aiuongst whom it circulates and from whom it derives the bulk of its support. The Farmers. [PtcAc/is Sentinel.] During last week we conversed with many substantial farmers of this county in reference 1 to tlie public meetings which have been held by the farmers in other counties, at which demauds were made by them for a reduction on their guano and provision hills. The views expressed by us in the Sentinel last week, seemed to m-et universal commendation. < They all declared their intention to pay every ] cent of their bills if it were possible for them 1 to do so; but in tlieoveutof failure to pay all, 1 they would pay a part, and make their own J1 individual arrangements for the balance. ' They deplored anything like a combination! of farmers, as such a course would result in a counter combination on the part of the merchants, and they, having the lawon their side,! would bo enabled to littcrally crush and ruin I the farmers. They are coining forward with usual promptness I11 litis county and paying U(J ill II111K1I1K nil Liniiti'iiij ^ ill i illlgt'llieil IS Willi their mere hull lw, and perfect hurmoity uml confidence exists between them. To illustnitu how ll is working in this county : Mr. James Burnett receivedadvances Iroin Mr. 10. It. Jlorton of Liberty .Station. Mr. Burnett finding that lie would not he able to pay his bill on account of the failure of his crop, carried his mule, a very good animal, to Mr. Ilortou and told hiin to make Ills money out of it, as it was nut possible to pay him in any otherway. Mr. liorton replied: "Takeyourmuletnome, probably you can pay me next year." How many other instances of this kind have occurred, we are not able to say, but we cite this to illustrate the feeling existing In the conn- 1 ty. There will be no attempt at a readjust- 1 tnent on the part of the farmers In this conn-;1 ty, while the merchants, we feel assured, will j1 grant all the indulgence they can. This is us < It should be. 1 -+ m 1 Mortgages ts. Liens.

Selected containing one and a half acres tor sowing two bushii< of barley. The land was broken up twice with bull tomrnc plows. I then spread as evenly as possible, two hundred pounds of Peruvian guano over the lot, then sowed the two bushels of barley on it, plowed it in with the same plows, turned the whole loose then to the season's ravages of a j pang of plgsand a severe winter, until about I the first. of March. The pl-'s were shut out I perfectly fat without a grain of corn during! the winter. About ten days after, a resort was made to the green barley as feed for the stock, i It having grown high enough to grasp with J the hand.and cut with a reap hook or knife, l Hy this time iny mules ami horses were tie- j coming quite thin under hard work,and only twenty-four cars of little corn, cut o ts.fo.l-; der, wheat, bran. Ac., per day, all of which! was an insntllclent quantity. It was soon ascertained that the stock preferred the barley I to all other kinds of feed?corn not excepted. I Consequently a reduction was made 111 thel fe.-d of corn to live ears per day to each work1 animal at night, and all other food greatly I lessened. Under this treatment my mules nnd horses fattened everyday. A half acre, of the lot continued an abundantsupply tor. four work animals fortwo months, filling two lartre troughs twice a day?noon and night? i the whole" time?making a net saving of tliir- j ty bushels of corn and a quantity or onts, fodder, Ac.
