Trial Of Mr. Davis.
Mr. Evarts, fur the Govcrnincut,. said the
intention of the Government was, to try the
Davis case so no day this term. One consider
ation in fixing tho any was the time when
Chase would attend here, and the Government
proposed to name a day, after the adjournment
of the Supremo Court, for this trial, when
Chase could sit with Uudcrwood. Evarts sug
gested tho fourth Monday in March. O'Conor
said tho personal convenience nf Mr. Davis
would have been promoted if that had taken
place in May last, and it would ho very con
venient now, but his counsel would agree to tho
proposition of Evarts. He thought the pre
sence of Chase would bo beneficial, not alone
to the interests of tho accused, but to all in
terests. Judge Underwood said the arrange
ment proposed by tho Government was agree
able to the Court, and particularly because the
Court earnestly desired that Judgo Chose
should sit upon the case. It was due to the
defendant that two Judges should sit in the
case, in order that an appeal 'might be tu'ken
on disputed questions, aud the cuse carried up
by defendant to a higher Court. The Judge
agreed to fix the 20th of March fur the trial;
and, on application'of Mr. O'Connor, to extend
Mr. Davis' bail bond until that time; and
further agreed, if Judge Chase could not pre
side then, to extend tho leave of absence till
tho term following. The order of extension of
leave of absence for Mr. Davis, and fixing the
22d March for the trial, was entered by order
of the Judge, and Mr. Davis' trial ended for
this term. Mr. Davis did not appear in Court.
Three witnesses, who came into Court, Ex
Secretary Seddon, Ex-Govcrnor hotelier and
General Wickhnm, were recognized to appear
at the next term.
Seddon, Lcteher, and several other witnesses
for the Government, were before the Grand
Jury to-day, which shows that Mr. Davis will
be tried on a new indictment at the next term
in March.
Mr. Davis will remain in Richmond several
days. He will not spend the winter in
Canada
THE 0RANGEBUR& NEWS.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, 30, 18G7.
White we reserve to ourselves the riijht ofilefi
ning our own political position by means of our
editorial columns, tee will he pleased to publish
contributions from our 'fellow-citizens vjxm the
grave questions which now agitate the. public
mind, whether their opinions coincide, with ours
or not. A district newspaper, we consider,
should be an index of the various shades of pop ?
ular sentiment in the section of country in ich ich
it circulates. Our columns are open, therefore,
for nny communications properly written, accom
panied by a responsible name, not j>r?WHi?/ in
their character, nor absolutely injurious in their
' tendency.
Negro Bonds. . .
Our esteemed contributor "Paysan" has,
; with his usual acumen, and in his fluent and
1 graceful style, advocated in our present is*.ue
the "Repudiation of Negro debts." We disa
gree in opinion with Paysan on this subject, in
toto. The sacred obligation of a contract does
not depend merely on "honor," (if it did, that
would be n good foundation) but it rests upon
the sure basis of justice. Calamity to the
debtor cannot free him from his duty to his
creditor, even if it be by the act of God, and
|not of man. Suppose a strong ease : A man
purchases on credit a home for his family, and
in that home collects articles of comfort for his
wife and children. A stroke of lightning falls
upon it, and it is reduced to ?sLe.??aa it
were?by firo from Heaven. Thoi'O is the act
of God, by which that man has boon reduced
in fortune. Shall his remaining property be
taken by his creditor to pay for that house aud
its furuituro, and the unfortunate debtor bo re
duced to penury I It is a hard case; but our
friend Paysan wouid say with us, that the de
struction of tho thing purchased is no absolu
tion of the ifcbt. The risk is in the
M
owner. Suppose again : A and R, two broth
ers, rcccivo oach n legacy of fivo thousand dol
lars, gold. Each buys negro property before
the war to the amount of live thousand dollars.
A pays for his purchase in full; B buys his
negroes on credit, and purchases a fine planta
tion with his legacy, giving his bond for the
negroes. Now, repudiate negro debts, and'
where is the equal justice iu the case ? A has
lost his negroes, nnd his legacy: while B has
lost nothing, having actually made the value
of the services of the uegrocs until their eman
cipation.
Again : as to guardians and trustees. If
the guardian or trustee uses that fund for his
own purposos, (which he has no right to do),
ho must suffer the consequence of his own fault.
If iu the course of his duty, he makes invest
ments for the actual use and bencfiit of his ces
tnis <nw trust and which were proper at the
time, but afterwards turn out badly, the guar
dian or trustee should not suffer. But a guar
dian or trustee is only authorized by law to
make certain, kinds of investments ; and if he
makes others,, ho dues it at his peril.
Wo hasten on> ami find, that Paysan wishes
to change, tho Constitution. Wo would say,
this is dangerous ground. TUo argument of
Paysnu is the very argument of the extreme
Radicals j and if his theory be correct, the
Radicals have a right to establish Negro Su
premacy iu tho South. A constitution is tho
sacred bulwark which in times of political ex
citement is to protect minorities from the en
croachments of triumphant majorities. J,t
makes no difference whether that majority be
a party of rampant Radicals, or a party of un
fortunate debtors,?tho principlo is tho samo.
? Wo wish wo had time to onlargc f>n. this
subject. It is one of great interest, and wc
sympathise deeply with the unfoftuuuju tu
tors in our community. But there is nobility,
there is sound philosophy, there is honor (real,
and not merely so-called) in the maxim :?Fiat
justitia, coelum ruat.
The Gauss.
The long looked. for ship, containing the
first band of German Immigrants to our shores,
arrived in Charleston on Thursday list.
The whole number of immigrants is 152,
and ample accommodations had been arranged
for their reception.
We clip from the Charleston Daily News,
the following appropriate words of
welcome.
Cordially, heartily and earnestly docs the
State of Carolina give greeting to hor German
children. Sho has known,?in war and peace,
?tho thrift, the courage, the patience and the
solid strength of those whose fortunes have
long been united with her own ; and now she
welcomes others of the same race and blood as
warmly as she has cherished those who havo
already been trusted, tried and proved. Caro
lina rejoices in this new accession to her
strength, and wishes to each and evcryYxmo a
heartfelt God-speed !

Repudiation of Negro Debts.
Mr. Editor :?I do not desire to write
anything that would havo a tendency to create
demoralization, nor would I hope to encourage
a spirit of insubordination by presenting plain
ly and openly before the readers of your enter
prising journal a **ew remarks upon the indebt
edness of our citizens, which though humble
in style, nevertheless, I think to be true'. Of
the same opinion with yourself, that a district
nowspaper should bo an index of tho shade of
sentiment of tho people among whom it circu
lates, and that anything properly written and
accompanied by a responsible name should not
be suppressed unless productive of evil, there
fore I have concluded to venture a few senti
ments, which I think are typical of those en
tertained by a large class of our citizens. Now,
I do not wish to be understood in the premises
as offering an excuse or begging license for
any and everything that I may see fit to indite,
for if what I write is not fact, the subject is
open for discussion aud refutation. I know,
that there aro many whose conscientious scru
ples aud high sense of honor have been culti
vated to such a nice degree of discrimination]
that such sentiments as I may ndvanco in the
following spacrt will bo condemned at once as
the croation of a depravity of soul.
But Mr. Editor, there is no use in trying to
concoal tho fact. You may talk about your
honor?this is indeed a very pretty and con
venient term?it covers a multitude of sins. I
do not mean to reflect lightly on this term, for
its principles are ac sacred to me as any other
man on earth. The idea I tneau to convey is
tho enormity of abuse that hns been made of
it. It is very easy for some people to "strain
at a gnat aud swallow a camel." Abstract
ideas concerning certain principles, have a
pretty theoretical bearing with same, but do
not work so well in the machinery of practical
application. Well! what of all this ? Nothing
at all, further than to show tho inconsistency
between interested and theoretical and practical
h?nor, and to try to^&satrose the 'ttindifpf ?tmioj;
people of the iuea tbjit "till that glitters Ss notj
gold? nnliS that prcfvlmrs do jiot at all time*'
?\1 j-*t SP- F "?' * ? ' 3' i *
practice what they"preach."
The peoplo of South Carolina are sufferers
?a calamnity has befallen them from which it
will probably tako a century to recover. Tho
pen and the sword {have "rpduccd them to j
condition, which compared to tho position they
occupied, before tho war might be placod in the
ratio of one to fifty. For this comparison wo
can have no exact and tangible method by
which to arrive at tho correctness of its truth.
But everything considered we do not believe it
nn exaggeration. The federals destroyed our
dwellings, our granaries, corn houses, gins,
mills, plantation fences,, burned our cotton,
carried oft our inules and horses, also our hogs
and cattle.or shot them down in bur yards and
pastures, and by its final achievement reduced
I our curreucy to naught. By the, Northj our
slaves have been emancipated, which resulted
in the loss to South Carolina of two hundred
million dollars. Mauy of these emancipated
slaves have died siucc the war. many have emi
grated to othor countries, and those left be
hind are so completely in tho bauds of party
power as to be rendered of very littlo benefit as
an clement of labor." The only property left
.us is our laud.. This without tho. means to
work it has reduced in value from an
Vivcragc of ten dollars an acre to three dollars
and even as low as ten cents an acre, Tho peo
ple who couldvhave paid thier debts when they
owned property, nnd money was plentiful hut
were provented by the existence of a stay law,
which strange to say, was allowed to remain in
force as constitutional theft, but which since
that time has been adjudged of a different na
ture, are now more deeply involved than ever
by the accumulation of interest, with not the
one-tenth part of the means for satisfying the de
mands aguiust them. Since the war they have
made overy exertion to pay out.1 But instead
of nccompliohing this object J^hcy have only
got farther from it. Generally they have been
barely able to make enough to subsist on. But
what are they to do ? It would not do to fold
their arms to their situations, and yet every
effort seems only to increase their embarrass
ments. "Were they out of debt, they could
make enough by their own labor to the exclu
sion of the negro to subsist on. But how aro
they to get out? "Would that some wiser head
than mino could suggest. ProbaTdy you who
gkjpow nothing of tho character of ?tho labor
with which we have to contend will say, work
out. Wu have tried it, the plan dou't succeed
.under existing circumstances. It is as impossible
for the laud owners of this State to pay their
old debts as it is for them to change the course
of the Sun. 1 do not make this assertion to
discourage those who have any desire to make
the attempt nor to promote my own intorcsts as
I do not owe a single old debt in the 'world.
/Talk about paying old debts?it is absurd.
There is no use iu trying to conceal the fact?
Jit is impossible nnd the people know it. "Blootl
cannot be extracted from a turni]>." You may
throw open the courts and sell their property,
but this will not pay the debts. It may be a
satisfaction for Mr. Creditor to bid iu 31 r
Debtor's lund and thereby gain an addition of a
thousand or two acres to his already large and
uuwcildly body. C is very littlo better effb)"
?his change of ownership, while D is rendered
penniless.
Tho war was a general calamnity. The
losses and misfortunes it entailed upon us
were unavoidable and we should not be held
responsible to make them good. Nearly every
ono in the State are involved iu debts contract
ed during and boforo the war. I owo B, C,
owes D and D, E, &o. In order for me to pay
B what I owo him T must sue A C, in order
to pay D sues B, i&c, probably the sucing con
tinuing down to the seventh or eighth man.
"Wh:u the last man has been sued tho proba
bility is that not more than one dollar out of
every soveu or eight of G's claim is satisfied.
Thus A, B, C, &c., are all sold out to satisfy
the claims of G, who is very little better off
than ho was before. The same is true, iu re
gard to securities. Two or three or more men
are all sold out to satisfy the demands of one
num. But say yon, what will become of the
minors and wards ? Without wishing in the
least to roflcct upon the.so wards of public sym
pathy, we would state that since the war, these
too. have boon very convenient tools in the
hands of those who wishing to plead up their
own interests havedono so in behalf of minors.
We confess that wo broach the subject of
minors with somo degroo of delicacy, for w j
know that we have only to touch any point re
lating to thoir interests^ to touch the chord of
publio sympathy. We will venturo a little
way, however, coutc one conic. Guardians,
who have invested the property of minors or
?Ward? in lands or other property (excepting
negroes and Confederate bo-ids.") should of
. ' ' ? e 1: , ' ? '* .
course, bp held responsible. This, though not
'exartlysfuir, the advantage being in favor fifctho'
|biinors| could mit probably bo nrrivetl'at any
ic^rjjr, except that in case of investment in
iaiiilsrinstead of holding the Guardian rcspon
sibio for what the l.m?b? sold forfbVpre. thQ(
war, let the same revert back to minor?. But
Hupposo the minors' property was all invested
iu negroes ? Let them be the losers of course'
ftViif the Guaroian js heldiresponsiblevit is 4
double loss on him. He has lost the negroes,
and then has to make good their emancipation,
which is equivalent to holding him responsible
for whot the United States did and which it is
impossible fdr him to undd. '
Suppose he had invested tho property in
Confederate bonds 1 The law provides in this,
case that the minors and wards shall bo the
losers. TJie. same power , that destroyed the
validity of the bonds destroyed the validity of
a bill of sale for the negro. Then why ex
empt him in the one case and not in the other.
The same right that applies to hold him re
sponsible for investment in negroes applies
with equal force in the case of investment in
Confederate bonds. But neither the one nor
the other are just, therefore why not abrogate
both ? But how can wo arrive at this ? Any.
act that "impairs the obligation of contracts''
is contrary to the Constitution of the State and
of the United States.
Constitutions arc framed in order to "estab
lish justice to promote the general welfare" and
to suit the exigencies of the times at which
they arc made. "What would promote the wel
fare of a people to-duy, fifty or a hundred
years hence would possibly be productive of
evil and opposed to its best interests. A law
that works for the general good at the time of
its enactment dues not guarantee that it will do
so always and under all circumstances. ' If ad
hering to set principles in the nature o^ our
Constitution is inimical to our best interests
why not change that. Constitution, and adapt it
to suit the circuinstauccs of the people, whose
welfare it is intended to promote ? AYhon this
instrument is an impediment in deciding a
question of moment that concerns the general
good why not submit the desire for its change
to the test of the people ? True, tho Consti
tution of the United States says, "no,.State
shall past'any act impairing the obligation of
contracts. Then let the State tall n Convcn
tum and memorialize.Congress fur an aweud
meat to tho Constitution. It is d matter of
little concern to Congress, whether the citi
zens of South Carolina, pay their individual
debts or not. Of course all obligations con
tracted with citizens residing beyond the limits
of the State will have to be met. Then say
you, that every man will transfer his claims to
citizens residing beyond the limits of the
State. Wc think not. Every community
knows very well the extent of the in
debtedness, and to whom of each, member who
composes it. Beside when it" could be proved
that the party transferred his claim out side of
the limits of the State to avoid having it re
pudiated, let such transfer be illegal and' void
Tliir. would prevent foreigners from abetting or
accepting claims of doubtful tendency upon
citizens of the State.
Thcso remarks havo been advanced in the
attempt to show the general evil that will re
sult to the country at large from the collection
of all old debts. To correct this evil entirely
may be impracticable, Repudiation of afi old
debts would, no doubt, strike a heavy blow to
a groat many persons, but on the other hand,
wc believe its consummation would ward off a
great mauy more that will occur if it does not
take place. ^Leaving general repudiation out
of the question, howovcr, wo bolicve that tho
people of South Carolina would bo doing
hcmsclvcs and their posterity an injustice not
o repudiate, at least, negro dobts, if such lies
vithiu the range of practicability.)
