I i lie Press and Banner. ? By Ilusrli AVilrton. Wednesday, April 2, 1884. Fxow?slvc Lbve for the Xojjpo? Danr insrrntitncie to the Soldier. Wo leave it for an intelligent, honorable and lair-uilnded public to say whetlior the distinguished Southern gentlemen (Hi! not recently cut a nice figure it Washington in their pitiful appeals foi money with which to educate the negro. I Tlii? at a time too when ear loads of ne- J t;roos were in trie city from Virginia to1 convict our own men and brethren of infniions crimes which they did not com mil. We leavo an observing public to I pronounce t?pon the sincerity or the liollowness of thrlr appeals. We shall I'M <i>n whether there was nnv-J thins in them which savored of hypocrisy to the public, and of ingratitude to the Southern soldier. Wo be'ieVe that no man in Abbeville; enmity endorses in tlio heresies which have been recently promulgated in Washington in regard to negro education. The ^frerense that we are anxious for his education is merest mockery, which deceives nobody, and we arc tired of hearing such proclamations. We have never felt rail- i < (1 upon to criticise disprovingly atty act of Senator Hampton, but we respectfully submit that if he would manifest a little! more anxiety for tho welfare of the old soldiers who followed him in tho"Lostj Cause," and if he would let the esteemed i n^gro take rare of himself that he would , command equally ns much respect from i his constituents residing in Abbeville county. It is useless^br grave Senators | and able Congressmen to rise from their seats in the National Congress and proclaim that we of the South are dying j 1Y>V negro education. There is not, in our! opinion, olio scintilla of truth in any such j assertion* Of course we know vary little of the sentiment generally, but we feel perfect-j Iv certain that Senator Hampton could j not In a day's journey find one man in j Abbeville county who would not be glad- j ly relieved of tho present onorons bur-| den upon our people, which the good j Democratic leaders, i.1 their love for the j negro, and in their ingratitude to the Southern soldier, induced our confiding people to assume.

Opening the Cnmpnlsn. By reference to the official call of the County Chairman, it will be seen that: democrats are expected to buckleon their armor for the comingconflict. Delegates j are to be sent from the local clubs to the central club which meets here on S?lesdav in May. This will be an important meeting, and it is incumbent on our people to send their wisest and most descrect i men to the Mey meeting. A County Chairman, a Secretary and Treasurer are to be elected. Delegates to the State Convention arc to be elected, and time will ivlw>Hiei* nnr nennle are free anil in dependent to do as tlioy please, or whether tliev will humbly submit to the dictation of the Chairman of the State Executive Committee in his order to send dcle' . gates to Columbia, which virtually means to re- nominate the old State officers. Nol>ody has a word to say about the present StHte officers except in praise. They are all true and pood officers, but we see no usoof the Executive Committee putting them in chare? of affairs foranother term. The State offices in Columbia are positions of honor and profit, and we see no pood reason for keeping the same men always in the best places. The.* have had a pood term, and wo think they might Htand aside for others who arc just as denerving and fully as competent. While we have no complaint to make! against anybody, we are perfectly certain ; that a new School Superintendent would ! not be objectionable ;o those of ourciti zen* who arc disgusted with all this mock-j ery about negro education, at a time when j we show the basest and most shameful in-1 gratitude to our own Confederate soldiern. Suppose the Confederate soldlbr, while j undergoing the dangers and hardshipsof the camp, had hern told that he would i have been taxed five, hundred thousand dollar* for ncfjro edurtfion, while he a?)d ' his own valient comrades in arms should j go without even a kindly consideration,! would that fact not have put ^ tongue In ,'vfrv *rnnn?i of ffp?nrtltiit shall move Thes tone* of Hon e to mutiny." It is a fact beyond dispute that the Confederate soldier's homestead may be sold for negro education. Mby Not (iive Shoes ami Clothing to; Old Soldiers! We hftvo several hundred eonvii-ts in ! the Penitentiary. In that institution we J have a shoo manufactory, which turns j out * great number of the best shoes, and j which are carted off and sold. What we want to know is. why cannot provision . be made for issuing a pair of those good | shoes to every needy Confederate soldier ? : Surely the old soldiers may receive this j much from the convicts, at a time when! our people are paying a quarter of a mil-! lion of dollars for the negro education. Another matter, why cannot other machinery be put in the Penitentiary which j will enable the convicts to manufacture! clotliinir for our' old noc-dy soldiers? This certainly would be better employ-j ment than the present foolish waste of j time, monev and lalior in tlie development of a water power which is not needed, and never will be profitable. The Suliida Argus. Our neighbor, the .Sahnht Argu*, has adopted the plan of having an "Abbe-j ville Department," with W. P. Calhoun, Esq., as Abbeville editor. We are sure if our friend, the continues the services of one so industrious and happy in the use of the pen as Col. Calhoun, tfiat he will find tboAbboville departmeht quite an acquisition. Wo reciprocate the kindly feelings of the .1 rr/un, and hope the proprietor may continue tc publish it successfully aud profitably for twentyJivo years. Our Tweulj-llfth Anniversary. On the first day of April, 1859, the preI I.t .. >? fl.w nil. sent jiropnwor umiSm ? ...? pe.i, and this week we celebrate our twenty-fifth anniversary in the office. We were preparing a review of come of the facts which wo havo chronicled within that time, but before we had finished the work wo were forced to stop, to do other work. Our readers will lose nothing by the delay, as it will bo finished. It will be printed in nonpareil type, and will occup3* every available inch in our paper of the week it appears. The Negro Educational Bill. We are glad to see that Senator Butler takes high ground against the appropriation of the national treasury f'?r educationnl purposes. There never was a greater wrong thttn education at public expense, and we doubt the sincerity of any man who pretends to to be over-zealous on the subjcct ot negro education. Ol'R farming friends over in the State of Georgia are great believers in the hirgest liberty-to the rnsor back hog. Tf they would come on a pilirrimape to South Carolina, they would change their minds. Xotice to l>en?ocrnf?.

SYN0P8E8 OP RECENT JUDICIAL DECI8I IONS BY OUR SUPREME COURT. Opening nnd Reply?RegnlntlonA or the I.nw m to Knlc of Commercial , Fertiliser*. I JfcOonncll vs. Kitrhcns.?Xo. 1,512. Tills w?s an action on n contract In writing, , under seal, by which the defendant promised j : to pay the plaintiff ?310.50 for eleven and a, j half tons of Li e's 1'iepared Agricultural: Lime. The defendant sit up In his answer! two distinct affirmative defences?one of fall[ ure of consideration, nnd the other that the; : contract whs illegal, being mode In violation of certain statute. The defendant claimed ' . the right to open and reply, both lu evidence! ettitl argument. ,! It was proted on tlie trial that tbo fertilizer ,' sold to defendant was put lip in baxs. which . had on them the name, location and trade! i mark ot the manufacturer, hut did not have ; the chemical composition of tlie contents of] f tho hugs, or the dale of its analysis, of that; - the privilege tux nad been paid, or any tux at j ; mii. |j The Circuit Judge held that the contract , was not Illegal and could be enforced, to, I which exception was duly taken. The Jury i rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of S250, and Judgment, being entered , thereon the defendant appealed. The .Supreme Court decides a* follows: The i question as to which party is entitled to open j i and reply depends upon an Inspection of the j pleadings only, and must be determined! I without any reference to the testimony I 1 which may be subsequently offered. Where j the defendant admits upon the iccord the' j plaintiffs causc or action, as stated In the : . complaint, and relies solely upon an affirmative defence bused upon new matter suited In1 I tlie answer, he Is then entitled to open and : reply, as the plaintiff In such a case wqnld j I have nothing whatever to prove, and the dc-1 ' > fendiint would assume the burden ot proving j | his alllrmatlve dcfcnce and thus in reality ! become the actor. Hut unless this Is done ' the plaintiff Is bound to establish Ills cause | I of action, and Is therefore entitled to open I .and renly. Brown vs. Kirk patrlck, 5 S.

I By the Act of February 2, ls"2, 15 Slat. 33,! ! and the Act of December it, 187U, 17Stut. 72, it | was made a misdemeanor, punishable by i flue, for any person to sell or keep for sale J 'any commercial fertilizer which did not' have a label attlxed to each bag or other pack-, age. specif) Ing tlie name, location and trade I mark of the manufacturer, the chemical com-! position of tlie contents of the packiue, tli? real percentage of certain specified ingredi-: ents, If such are present, the dale of the analysis, and that the privilege tax of twcnly-rtvoj cents per ton has been paid. While the Leg-; Inhiture has not in so many words declared ! that It shrill not be law fill to sell imv comI m<-rclul fertiliser in the State unless the regII illations above prescrltied have been com-1 | piled with, or that a contract for the sale of. jsuch fertilizers without complying with such: ! regulations shall be illegal and void, yet the ! I real object of the Legislature set out above j was to prohibit tne sale of commercial fertll- j I Izers unless the prescribed regulations are! > complied with, In order to protect the farming interests from deceit or imposition In the I sale of an article which lias come to be so ex-1 j tenslvely. If not universally, used by the j farmers of the country. Where a contract Is prohibited by statute It' I I I. I.n.I ulw.ll,?r 11.? will t III r> was passed lor revenue purpose* oniy. or fori liny other object. It Ik enough that it h prohibited, nn<l It ik therefore void. When the question Is whether n contract has been pro hlblted by statute, ItIs material in constru-! big the statute to ascertain whether the LegS. islatnre IVatl In vlcw>-olely and security tuil > j collection of the revenue, or had In view, In I. whole or In pan, the protection of the public . from fraud In contracts, or the promotion of I some otojeet of public policy. In the former 1 ruse the Inference Is that the statute was not > ; Intended to prohibit contracts, In the latter ?l that ft was. In seeking for the meaning of i' the lawgivers It Is material a'so to inquire . I w helher li e penalty is Imposed once for all r on the offence, or whether It Is a recurring j t i penalty, repeated1 as often as the ort'onee. In t, the hitter case the statute Is Intended to pre- j ,] vent the dealing, to prohibit the contract., I : and the contract Is, therefore, void, hut In i ?1 the former such Is not the Intention, and the! c : contract will bo enforced. 2 BenJ. on Sales,! 71 Sec. si*>. (?! Tesllngtlie legislation In question by thesei* ^ rules,It is obvious that, though tlin sale of 1' t ominerclal fertilizers without a compliance* 1: with the prescribed regulations Is not. In ex- I r press terms, forbidden, the Legislature did e: not have In vltw "solely a* d security and ! collection of the revenue," but, on the con-j c | trary, the purpoft' was lo protect the public : I from frauil in such sales, and therefore the! v j Inference is that the lesrlslstlon was intended >-' lo prohibit sales of commercial fertilizers ex-| r? cept where the prescribed regulations are; c' complied with. The general rule Is that a contract to do an I i act which Is prohibited by statute, or which j r> Is contrary to pub'le policy. Is void and can-1 not be enforced In a court of Justice. It Is not I s necessary that the act should be prohibited! T In express terms, hut a prohibition may bo i y j Implied from the Imposition of a penalty., a 1 Miller vs. Post, I Allen, 4M: Pray vs. Bur-I b i hank. 10 N.
