Trial of Mi-. Bftvis.
Mr. Evarta, for tho Government, said the
intention of tho Government was, to try tho
Davis case some day this term. One consider
ation in fixing tho day was the timo when
Chase would attend here, and the Government
proposod to name a day, after the adjournment
of the Supremo Court, for this trial, when
Chase could sit with Uuderwood. Evarta sug
gested tho fourth Monday in March. O'Conor
said tho personal convenience of Mr. Davis
would have been promoted if that had taken
place in May last, and it would bo very con
venient now, but his counsel would agree to the
proposition of Evarta. He thought the pre
sence of Chase would bo bcucficinl, not alone
to the interests of tho accused, but to all in
terests. Judge Underwood said the arrange
ment proposod by tho Government was agree
able to the Court, and particularly because the
Court earnestly desired that Judgo Chase
should .fit upon the case. It was due to tho
defendant that two Judges should sit in the
case, in order that an appeal 'might be taken
on disputed questions, aud tho ca?o 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 b}* order
of the Judge, nnd Mr. Davis' trial ended for
thiB term. Mr. Davis did not appear in Court.
Three witnesses, who came into Court, Ex
Secretary Seddon, Ex-Governor Lctehor and
General Wickhnm, were recognized to nppoar
at the next term.
Seddon, Lctehor, aud 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. lie will not speud the winter in
Canada

SAT?11DAY, NOVEMBER 30, 18G7.
White ice reserve to uiirselves (he right of defi
ning our own political position by means of our
etlitorial columns, w. will be pleased to publish
conir ibid ions from our fellow-citizens upon the
grave questions which now agitate the jntblic
m'ind, 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 which
it circulates. Our columns are open, therefore,
for nfiy< communications properly written, aecom
pumed by a responsible name, not personal in
their Character, nor absolutely injurious in their
tendency,
Negro Ilonds.
Our esteemed contributor uPnysan" has,
with his usual acumen, and in his fluent and
graceful style, advocated in our present is?ue
the "Repudiation of Negro debts." >Yc disa
gree iu opinion with Paysnn 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 htm from his duty to his
creditor, eveu if it be by the act of God, and
|not of man. Suppose a strong ease : A man
purchases on credit a homo for his family, and
in that home collect? articles of comfort for his
wife and children. A stroke of lightning falls
upon it, and it is reduced to ?sbe??-AJ9 H
were?by fire from Heaven. Theft) is the act
of God, by which that man has been reduced
in fortune. Shall his remaining property he
taken by his creditor to pay for that houso aud
its furuituro, and the unfortunate debtor be re
duced to penury ! It is a hard case; but our
friend Paysan would say with us, that the de
struction of the thing purchased is no absolu
tion of the debt. The uisk is in the
owner. Suppose again : A and R, two broth
ers, receive oach a legacy of fivo thousaud dol
lars, gold. Each buys negro property before
the war to the amount of five thousand dollars.
A pays for his purchase in full; R buys his
negroes on credit, and purchased a fine planta
tion with his legacy, giving his bond for the
negroes. Now, repudiate negro debts, and
where is the eijual justice iu tho case? A has
lost his negroes, nnd his legacy: while R has
lost nothing, having actually made tho value
of tho services of the nogrocs until their eman
cipation.
Again: as to guardians and trustees. Jf
the guardian or tiustcc uses that fund for his
own purposes, (which ho has no right to do),
ho must suffer the consequence of his own fault.
If in the course of his duty, he makes invest
ments for the actual use and bencfiit of his ces
tnis quo trust and which wero projwr at the
timo. but afterwards turn out badly, the guar
dian or trustee should not suffer. Rut a guar
dian or trustco is only authorized by law to
make certain. Vi?ds of investments ; ami if ho
makes others, ho docs it at his peril.
Wq hasten on, aud1 find, that Paysnn wishes
to change tho Cc institution, Wo would say,
this is dangerous ground. Tho argument of
Paysan is the very argument ?T the extreme
Radicals; mid if his theory he correct, the
Radicals have a right to establish Negro Su
premacy in tho South. A constitution is tho
sacred bulwark which in timcB of political ex
citement is to protect minorities from the en
croachments of triumphant majorities. It
makes no difference whether that majority be
a party of rampant Radicals, or a party of un
fortunate dobtors,?tho principlo is tho same.
? Wo wish wo had time to enlarge jon; this
subject. It is one of great interest, and we
sympathise deeply with the unfortunnto .de
ters iu our community. But thero is nobility,
there is sound philosophy, thero is honor (real,
and not merely so-called) in the maxim :?Fiat
ju8titia, coelum euat.

The long looked for ship, containing tho
first band of German Immigrants to our shores,
arrived in Charleston on Thursday last.
The whole number of immigrants is 152,
and ample accommodations had been arranged
for their reception.
Wc clip from the Charleston Daily News,
the followiug appropriate words of
WELCOME.
Cordially, heartily and earnestly docs the
State of Carolina give greeting to her German
children. She 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 have
already been trusted, tried and proved. Caro
lina rejoices in Ibis new accession to her
strength, and wishes to each and cvcryTono a
heartfelt God-spcod!

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 tho readers of your enter
prising jourtin! a ^cw remarks upon the indebt
edness of our oitizons, 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 the 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 hove concluded to venture a few senti
ments, which I think arc 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 ond evorything*that I may see fit to indite,
for if what I write is not fact, the subject is
open for discussion and refutation. I know,
that there aro many whose conscientious scru
ples aud high sense of honor have been culti
vated to such a nice degreo of discrimination;
that such sentiments as T may advance in the
following space will be condemned at once as
the croation of a depravit}' 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 aud con
venient term?it covers a multitude of'sius. I
do not mean to reflect lightly on this term, for
its principles arc as sacred to me as any other
mau on earth. The idea I mean to convey is
the onormity of abuse that has been made of
it. It is very easy for some people to "strain
at a guat and swallow a camel." Abstract
ideas concerning certain principles, have a
pretty theoretical bearing with soma, but do
not work so well in the machinery of practical
application. Well! what of all tins ? Nothing
?v ? * , . i
at all, further than to show the inconsistency
between interested and theoretical and practical
honor, and to try to disabuse the ttindgof s^njei,
peoplo of the idea that "rill that glitters Is' not*
gold" and that' prentJicrs do riot ,at all times'
practice what theyiprcach.*' v ?:
The people of South Carolina are sufferers
?a calamhity has befallen them from which it
will probably take r century to recover. Tho
pen and the sword lhave [rpduccd thero-^1 to j
condition, which compared to tho position they
^ccupie?Vbefore the war nrigty bp placedin the
ratio of bhe ta fifty. For this5 comparison we
can have no exact and tangible method by
which to arrive at tho correctness of its truth.
But everything considered we do not believo, it
an exaggeration. The federals destroyed our
dwellings, our granaries, corn houses, gins,
mills, plantation fences,, burned our cotton,
carried oft our mules and horses' also our hogs
? - :-. .,; . to* ft 1
and cattle or shot them down in bur yards and
pastures, and by its final achievement reduced
our currency to naught. By the, Northj our
slaves have been emancipated, which resulted
in the loss to South Carolina of two hundred
million dollars. Many of these emancipated
slaves have died since the war. many have emi
grated to other countries, and those left be
hind are so completely in the hands of party
power as to be rendered of very littlo benefit as
an clement of labor. The only property left
us is our land. This witLout the-means to
work it has reduced in vajuc from an
pvcrnge of ton dollars an acre to tlircc dollars
jand even as low as ten cents au acre. | Tho peo
ple who could'have paid thier debts when they
owned property, and money was plentiful but
were prevented by the existence of a stay law,
which strange to say, was allowed to remain in
force as constitutional then, 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 *lic de
mands agoiust them. Siuce the warthoy have
made overy exertion to pay out.1 But' iiistcad
of accomplishing this object ^hoy have only
got farther from it. Generally they have been
barely able to make enough to subsist on. But
.what.arc 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. Wore 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 mine could suggest. Frobably you who
?Jiow nothing of tho character of ?tho labor,
with which we have to contend will say, teorfc
out. We have tried it, the plan don't succeed
.under existing circumstances. It is us impossible
? for the laud owners of this State to pay their
old debts as it is for them to change the course
of the Suu. I do not make this assortion to
discourage those who have any desire to make
tho attempt nor to promote my bVn interests as
I do not owe a singlo old debt in the world.
tfTalk about paying old debts?it is absurd.
There is no use iu trying to conceal the fact?
{it is impossible and the people know it. "Blood
cannot be extracted frov* a turnip." You may
throw open the courts and sell their proporty,
but this will not pay the debts. It may bo a
satisfaction for Mr. Creditor to bid in Mr
Debtor's land and thereby gain an addition of a
thousand or two acres to his already large aud
uuwcildly body. C is very littlo better off tj
*V\b change of ownership, while D is rendered
penniless.
Tho war was a general oalamnity. 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 beforo the war. I owo B, C,
owes D and 1), E, &c. In order for mo to pay
B what I owo him I must sue A 0, in order
tp pay P sues B, Sic., probably the sueing con
tinuing down to the seyenth or eighth mau.
Whsn the last man has been sued tho proba
bility is that not more than one dollnr out of
every (T?ven or eight of G's claim is satisfied.
Thus A, B, C, &c, arc all sold out to satisfy
the claims of G, who is very little better off
than be was before. The same is true, iu re
gard to securities. Two or three or more men
are all sold out to satisfy the deniauds of one
man. But say you, what will become of the
minors and wards ? Without wishing iu the
least to reflect upon these wards of public sym
pathy, wc would state that since tho war, these
too, havo boon very convenient tools in the
hands of those who wishing to plead up their
own interests havodono so in behalf of minors.
Wc confess that wo broach the subject of
minors with somo degroo of delicacy, for wo
kuow that we havo only to touch any point re
lating to their interests, to touch the chord of
public sympathy. Wc will venturo a tittle
way, however, route quk come, Gunrdiaus,
who hiivo invested tho property of liiinurs or
wards in lands or other properly (excepting
negroes and Coufudoralc bonds.) shonld of
o^urso, bp bold responsible. This, though not
exactly fair, the advantage beiug in favor of the
minor*) cpuld not probably ho arrived at any
ju^rbr, ?copt that in caw of investment in
lan^Priii?tcad of holding the Guardian respon
sible tor what tho Limb? sold for .before^ tho.
war, let the same revett back to mittom Bot
suppose the minors' property was all invested
iu negroes ? Let them be tho losere of coarse1
fbrjif ^he Guardian js held responsible lit is a
double loss on him. He has lost the negro**,
and then has to make good their emancipation,
which is equivalent to holding him responsible
for what the United States did and which it is
impossible fdr him to undo. ,f-* j
Suppose he had invested tho property in
Confederate bonds ? The law provides in this,
case that the minors and wards shall be the
losers. The 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 bondB. But neither the one nor
the other are just, therefore why not abrogate
both ? But how can we arrive at this ? Any.
act that "impairs the obligation of contracts"
is contrarv 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-day, fifty or a hundred
years hence would possibly be productive of
o tl and opposed to its best interests. A law
that works for the general good at the time of
its enactment docs 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 ?fe
to suit the circumstances of the people, whose
welfare it is intended to promote ? AY hon this
instrument is an uupediment 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, the Consti
tution of the United States says, "uo,. State
shall pass any act impairing the obligation of
contracts. 'Then lot the State call n Conven
tion and uicmer.i'.lize.Congress fur an amend
ment to the Constitution. It is a 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 bo met. Then say
you, that every man will trnusfer his claims to
citizens residing beyond' the limits of the
State. AVc think not. Every community
knows very well the extent of the in
debtedness, and to whom of each, member who
composes it. Beside when if could be proved
that the party transferred his claim out side of
the limits of tho State to avoid having it re
pudiated, let such transfer ho illegal and* void
This would prevent foreigners from abetting or
accepting claims of doubtful 'tendenoy upon
citizens of the State.
These remarks have 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 all old
debts would, no doubt, strike a heavy blow to'
a groat many persons, but on the other band,
we believe its consummation would ward off a
great many more that will occur if it does not
take place. ^ Leaving general repudiation out
of the question, howover, wo believe that tho
people of South Carolina would bo doing
hcmselvca and their posterity an injustice not
o repudiate, at least, negro debts, if such lies
vithiu the range of practicability.)
