Smythe, the attorney of Jamea/Flynn; and Attorney-General j Conner, read, his decree in the habeas corpus case of James FFvnn, involving the question ?pf the legality of D. H. j Chamberlain^nd^of 4^?"p>rsons acting i as- trial justices under his appointment. I The deor?risTasifollows:. X| Ex^^^' JbJieS'-Flynn?Habeas Corpus. The relator states that -"he is illegally detained ?in the, custody of one Wm. F. I Dover, o% ^he^Ci^-of ?Charleston, and, prays: that a | writ of habeas corpus be granted^ to bring him before the Conn, that the cause of his detention being seen and known, such proceedings may be had therein as areagr^eable to^faw and jus? tice." The-^twasae^r&ftgly granted, but'before ifc was delivflred,' W. F. DfVJr appeared andatated that the relatorJwas not in his custody, but had been commit? ted by him to the ?Jail^pf Charleston County. Wb.ereupon it was ordered that the writrbe directedio.,Jr,H. Symmes^ a deputy of the Sheriff, and: the Sheriff himself being absent from the State, and keeper of the Jail, who made the follow? ing return: "I hold the prisoner by com? mitment of W. F. Dover, trial justice, charging him with, assault with a deadly weapon, which commitment is herewith submitted. Signed,. C*.C Bnwen, SjfQ. The telator, by his counsel, insists that he is illegally detained because ? YV. F. Dover, upon whoso warrant he was arrested and by-svBorn hb^as committed, is not and was not, at the date of the ar? rest, a trial justice, and had no lawful authority to order bis capture or deten? tion. '? The object Of this proceeding is to induce a recognition of one" of. the two gersons claiming to be GOVernor of the Late, and is the. first, case involving'di? rectly .-the question as to who is Governor that has arisen or been argued on this Circuit. Hitherto the opinion has been held b74;h?/:Goflrt,, acqjuiesced in by the Bar,-?nd4he.practic?asfaras practicable conforfned thereto, that the public weal 'wotfl?-fee best conserved in this jurisdic? tion by preserving the status quo until a decision should be made by some author? ity that would be generally recognized throughout the country as settling the question. But, pending such anticipated ! .--^ 'settlement, there have been so many ad? judications directly and indirectly by. ''Judges on other circuits; and. by the* Jus? tices of the Supreme Court, that a recog nition by this Court, of the influence they are entitled to as contributing to ? final determination of the controversy is im-, peratively demanded, and, on account of ?e conflict of assumed official authority, cann >t be safely delayed longer.. To.this end the case.before the Court has been brought, and although a circuit decree can have but little influence in determin? ing who is Governor, it must for the time being settle local conflicting claims to i official recognition, and lead to the har? monious working of the judicial system ordaiued for the preservation of the public peace, and the protection of per? sons and property. Having heard argu? ment for the first time, and on but one side of the question, I have deemed it proper, so far as the very limited oppor? tunity permitted, to give it snch consid? eration as its importance demanded, and I now proceed to state briefly the conclu? sions I have arrived at, from a review of the facts before me and the law applica? ble, thereto. By the act of February, 1873, 15th . Statute, 355, it is provided that "the Gov? ernor do appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, five trial, jus? tices for the City of Charleston" which number was reduced to four by the act of March, 1876. 19th Statute, 153; Upon - inspection of the commission of WV F. ? Dover, which was produced in Court, it -appears that he was appointed to the of? fice he claims on the 3rd of January, ?1877, by D. H. Chamberlain, styling himself Governor of South Carolina, It is denied by the re la tor that Mr. Cham? berlain was then Governor of the State, [and1 insisted that, by virtue of the election lhe\a on the-7th of November, 1876.' and f Of'proceedings had in the General As? sembly and the Courts, Circuit and Su ^ffieT-s?lJseq?entrtO ^hat date, "Wade Hampton, is,- and was, the lawful Gover? nor, and alone authorized by law to ap? point trial justices. " s j The Constitution in Section 2, article 4, provides tnat "the Governor shall be elected by the electors dnly qualified to j voteiformembers of the House of ,Bep I reWlttatives" and shall hold his office for 'two'years, and until his successor shall; ^bjephosen iand qualified," and in Section 4 of the same. Article it is declared that j "the person having the highest number of votes, shall be Governor" and that * * "contested elections for Governor shall be determined by the General Assem? bly." , There are other provisions in the same section directing how the result of the election shall be ascertained and declared, ! but I regard them of form merely, not of substance, excluding other modes under all circumstances; and it has not been pretended, so far as I am informed, that a neglect of duty, or an improper or I fraudulent discharge of the duty imposed on them, ,hy any of the officers through I whose hands the ballots or returns have to pass, can vitiate the election and de? feat cither the expressed will of the elec? tors or the right of the person having the highest .number of votes. An election for Governor of this State was held, ac? cording to. law, on the 7th November last, at which Wade Hampton and Daniel H. Chamberlain (the incumbent) were the candidates; and on opening the returns of the* counlty canvassers/ which cannot beJg??B.behind, '.(see. the Report" of the Presidential Electoral Commission in the case of Florida,) except by a contest as prescribed by the Constitution, it was ascertained, as is in proof before the Court, and has never, to its knowledge, been denied, that there were in the ballot boxes a majority of 1,134 votes for Wade Hampton. This would seem to have set? tled the question, unless a contest had been made before the General Assembly, as provided for by the Constitution, ana there was no contest. But, nevertheless, the qualification of the person elected was necessary before he could enter upon the duties of the office, and in the mean? time the incumbent would have held over under the Constitution, if he had elected to do so. Did he do so? When the General Assembly met in Columbia in November last the members of the lower House divided into two sections. One of these, consisting of a less number than a lawful quorum of the House of Repre? sentatives, as had b? in previously ad? judged by the Supreme Court,in the case of Morton, Bliss & Co. vs. the Comptrol? ler-General?4th S. C. Reports,'430?pro? ceeded to organize by electing E. W. 31. Mackey Speaker; whilst the other, con? taining a lawful quorum, 'ncluding cer? tain peisons who, it was charged, secured their election by fraud and violence, but who having been returned by the county canvassers, ^receiving the highest num? ber 'oVw^^eK prima facie entitled to their seats, was organized by the election of W. H. Wallace as Speaker. On the 5th of December, 1876; E. W. M. Mackey, in the presence of the Senate, whose or? ganization was regular, and of1'the body over whom he had been chosen to preside, styling themselves.the House of Repre? sentatives, proceeded to open the election returns which had been delivered to him by the Secretary of State, and after throwing out, upon motion, the entire vote of two counties, without protest or investigation, upon ascertaining the re? sult in the other counties, made formal declaration that "D. H. Chamberlain had received a majority of the whole number of votes cast, and was duly elected Gov? ernor.of-South Carolina for the ensuing two years." Previous to these proceed? ings a resolution which was still pending ?had been introduced in the Senate, as appears by its journal, calling in question the legality of the organization of the House, with which they were then acting, and on the same day the question as to which of the two bodies that had been organized as stated was the constitutional House of Representatives, was submitted to the Supreme Court in the case of ex rel. f.,EL Wallace against H.E. Havne, Secretary of State, and E. W. M. Mackey. On the next day, 6th December, a decree was rendered and published by that tri? bunal decidin'gjthat ?he: body of ivhich W. H. Wallace had been elected to pre? side as Speaker was the legal House of Representatives of the State of South CaroUna/.ai??'fthat E. W. M. Macjcoy, cliaiming to'be Speaker, was a private in? dividual, not amenable to the mandatory process of the Court. Here again, with? out reference to what had gone before, it would seem the controversy should have been regarded as ended. That decision, from ,the "moment it was made public, was the supreme law, which all persons were bound to respect and yield obedience to. And yet on the following day, 7th De cemberv 1876,. with a full knowledge, a* it mb^it?^preYumed,- of all these facts, Mr. Chamberlain, in pursuance of the declaration of his election by E. W. M. Mackey. who had been adjudged to be a mere private citizen, appeared beforethe body of citizens over whom he was pre? siding, the Senate being present, took the oath of office as Governor, was installed in the usual form, and entered up?n the duties of a new term, as was manifested by his acts, and in substance announced, in the opening sentence of his inaugural address. By suffering himself to be thus in? stalled for a new term, notwithstanding it was as his owj successor, and without regard to the .illegality of the . body be appeared before,. I an; of opinion from the analogies, of the law,, that he aban? doned the constitutional right to hold over until his successor':had qualified: and, in the language of iord Somers, in King James' case, "diapwned^and abdir cated" his former office; to all intents anqi purposes, and was thereby estopped fori ever after from questioning his 'own de? liberate act. Bigelow on Estoppel, 502; Bank ?. EL vs.. Xee, 13 Peters, 119; 5th Cranch, Cir. Ct., p. 319; Vermont vsi, Society for Propagation of Gospel, 2 Paine, 310. If this be true, Wade Hampton, who had been elected by a majority, of the votes cast, would, from that mpment, upon taking the oath of office, have been Governor de fatfj if notcfc jure, without regard to any formal declaration or in? stallation. But has Hampton, at any time, been lawfully inducted into office, and is he nr?w Governor' de jure of the State of South Carolina? Oh the 13th* December, 1876, the body which had been adjudged by the Supreme Court to be the Constitutional . House of Repre? sentatives, ap is in proof before me, sent a formal notice to the Senate,'which was placed in the hands of the presiding offi? cer, (who for. i.'ome unexplained- reason failed to publish it,) that they would on the next day, 14th December, at 2 p. m., proceeded to open and publish the returns of the election for Governor. The Senate did not attend as a body on that occasion, but a number of the members were pres? ent, and as the notice was published in the journal of the House for that day, it is fair to presume they all had actual no? tice, as they certainly had of the illegality; of the House they had before, been acting with. At the hour appointed the returns,; which were sworn transcripts front dupli? cates of the originals which were-with? held from them, obtained .from the offices of clerks of the court where they are filed by constitutional direction, and also a certificate and statement of the votes cast from the office of the Secretary of State, as taken froui tho originals, were opened and examined, ./hen it was ascertained that Wade Hampton had received a ma? jority of 1,134 votes, as before stated, whereupon he was formally declared Governor of the State of South Carolina. I On the same day he was duly qualified and entered upon the duties of the office, which he has continued to discharge so far as permitted by surrounding adverse circumstances, - o to. the present time. . It has been statol that the returns used by the lawful House of Representatives,' in ascertaining and declaring the result of the election lor Governor, where trans? cripts from duplicates filed in the offices of clerks of coint, and it does not appear whether any effort was made, by. process of attachment*or otherwise, to compel the persons claiming to be officers of what is popularly known as the Mackey House to deliver the originals. It is possible that by such a proceeding, which was legitimate and proper, after the cTe cision of the Supreme Court had deter? mined the lawful House, the primary evidence of the election might have been obtained, which would have avoided one of the objections raised to the declaration of Hampton's e'oction.. I suppose,,how? ever, that the state of affairs existing .in Columbia at the time was a sufficient ex? cuse for resortin;; to secondary evidence, and therefore justifies the action taken. However ,that may be, I do not regard it as affecting' the result. The transcripts of duplicate , returns, with the; official certificate of the -Secretary of State, al? though secondary evidence, was, it may be presumed, the best that could be hod, and I am of opinion was sufficient under the terms of the Constitution. And so, toq,<with, regard to the presence of the Senate at the opening of the returns. If, not actually, it must he held to have ? been constructively present.' I Otherwise, after the recognition of the lawful House by the Supreme Court, it would have wilful? ly ignored a pla:n-constitutional duty, thereby giving sanction to a great wrong, and tending to defeat:-the -will of the ' electors as expressed through .the ballot box, which would have been 1 repugnant alike to good law and good morals. To enforce a right or prevent a wrong the law.will, as to details and. mere matters of form, presume that to have been done which ought to have heen done. I am of opinion, therefore, that Wade Hampton was made Governor in and over the State of South -Carolina, through the ballot-box, an accordance with the Constitution, at tfte election held on the 7th November but. That he qualified, if not following the letter, In the spirit and intent of the Constitution on the 14tb' December last; That h? has heen since' that time,, and is now, the lawful Governor of South Carolina, and should be obeyed and respected accordingly. ? It follows from these views- that D. H. Chamberlain was not Governor on' the 3rd January, 1877, the date of the com? mission of W. F. Dover as a trial justice fbr the City of Charleston',' arid that his appointment and commissio?1 were with? out lawful authorityand void, y It is, therefore, ordered that the relator, James Flvnn, be discharged and go-hence without day. J. P. Reed. March 20, 1877. Benefit of Being Knocked About. ?It is a good thing for a .young ,-man to be "knocked abeut in the world,'' al? though his soft-..i ear ted parents may. pot think so. All youths, or if not all* cer? tainly nineteen-twentieths of the sum total, enter life with a surplusage of self conceit. . The. sooner they.;are relieved the better. If, in measuring themselves with wiser and .older men than them? selves, they discover it is unwarranted, and get rid of it gracefully and of their own accord, wed and good; if npt>?it; is desirable, for their:-own .sake,:.that; it should be knoqfred.out.pf them. A boy who. is sent .to a I large ^ch'ool soon finds his level. His1 will may* have been paramount at home ; but' Hch'ool boys are democratic in their ideas, and if arrogant, he isiware to be thrashed into a recognition of the golden rule. The world is a great public school, and it soon teaches a new p j nil his proper place. If he has the attributes that belong to- a leaded, he will be installed into the posi tiou of a leader; if not, whatever his own opinion of his abilities, he will be com {el led to fall' batik into the rank and file, f not destined to greatness,'the-next best thing to which lie can aspire is respecta? bility; but no a "in ian be truly great or truly respectable wno is vain, pompons and overbearing. By the time the novice has found his legitimate social position, be: the same high or low, the probability is the same disagreeable traits of character will be softened down and worn aWay. Most likely the process of abrasion will be rough, perhaps very rough, ?but when it is all over, and he begins to see himself as others see him, andnot as reflected in the mirror of self-conceit, he will be thankful that he has run the gauntlet, and arrived through by a rough road' of j knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving J mothers may think to the contrary, it is a good thing for youths to be knocked about in the vrorld. It makes men of G? tTRN?R HAMPTON'S CASE. ^ ; elected by tbe People and Confirmed by the Courts. The following is the full text of the statement presented to President Hayes ,by the committee of gentlemen who were appointed by Governor Hampton.to- pro? ceed to Washington and present his ^cl?inis1 t? " the*' 'Gubernatorial chair of South'Carolina: 1 ' \i i;- .Washington", March 8, 1877. His, Excellency, B. B. Suy^ President of ,\ihe United States: Sie : Your Excellency was pleased to accord us an interview on the 7th instant, at which we Had the honor to present a letter from his Excellency Wade Hamp? ton, the Governor of the State of South Carolina, requesting the immediate with? drawal of the United States troops now quartered in the State House, at Colum? bia. In- accordance with the suggestion .of .your, Excellency, that any statement which the undersigned committee desire to preseni, touching thesubject-matter, should properly be in writing, we respect? fully submit the following for the consid? eration of your Excellency: . Eirst. Wo do .nqt represent. Governor Hampton as a party to a controversy, for we hold, as in duty bound, that the judg? ment of the court of last resort of a State in a cause involving no Federal question, but de terminable .exclusively under the constitution and laws of the State, legal? ly quiets all contentions as to the issues ?therein decided.* The Supreme Court of the United States has established this proposition as settled la w by an unbroken current "of decisions. That judgment, we have had the honor to-lay before yoar-Excellency: The title of Wade Hampton, Esq.; to the office of Governor is derived from his election: by the people, and the highest judicial tri? bunal of the State has solemnly affirmed ? that title. He, therefore, as the Governor of the State of South- Carolina, addresses your Excellency, invoking the action of the President, not for the solution of a judicial question, bu? for the exercise of his power as Commander-ih-Chief of the r Army .ofithe United-States, to terminate ?an intervention by Federal troops, which hinders him in the due execution of his lawful authority as Governor, and subor? dinates tbeMsivil to the military authori? ties. ?- '?'<? . Second. We are informed that it is al? leged in support of the usurped authority of D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., and for the purpose of discrediting the decision of the Supreme CourVwhich has adjudged Wade Hampton; | "Esq., the I Governor of South Carolina,.that one of tbe two As? sociate Justices who eomposed the Court, did,; after concurring in the judgment and signing, the final order in the case, before the filing of the same, revoke his signature thereto, and did thereby render the said order void. ( The presiding Jus? tice, of the Supreme- Court, whose .opin? ion., accompanies the letter of Governor Hampton, has noticed therein, that pre? tended revocation, as appearing in the fbtm of a memorandum, annexed to a paper entitled as "epiniou by Associate Justice- -Wright," but rwith no signature attached thereto, which alleged* opinion, and the' annexed memorandum are not in the handwriting of the said Associate Justice. : His Honor A. J. Willard, the presid? ing Justice in. the, cause, , filed the final order therein as the judgment df'tbe Su? preme Court, notwithstanding such pre? tended re voeatiou. .,. -The so-called revocation is clear? ly, without legal force to annul the judgment of tbe Supreme Court. The judgment of a court of last resort can only be reviewed by the court itself. The two Justices, who rendered the der cision in the cause, constitute the judicial unit termed the" court. Npither, sepa sately, can constitute himself a court of review as to a final order made by the court in banc. The judgment is their concurrent conclusion. The order is the statement of such conclusion. Not the conclusion Of one Justice, or of two Jus? tices separately, but of the two associated, and constituting the judicial, entity termed the. court. . L We deem it proper to note the unde i niable facts that the Supreme Court, which owing to the illness of the Chief) 1 Justice, consisted only of the two Asso? ciate Justices, adjourned on Tuesday, ! "February 27th, to meet on the following I Friday, and' during the said recess Jus j tice Wright signed the memorandum I which purports to be a revocation of his J I signature affixed to the final order of the i -Court on the day of its adjournment. He signed the order February 27th and tbe1 alleged revocation- March '1st, and since the first named date he has not re? sumed his seat upon the Supreme bench. He left Columbia March 3d, and is now absent from the State. Wnile his pre? tended Revocation cannot avail to annul the*:judgment of the Supreme Court, it yet.serves to,reveal the conspiracy which j i having but recently defied the authority j j of All the Justices of the highest Court of the State, now renders it impossible j for the Court to proceed with the busi- j ness of the term, by laying .-its unclean ! hand on the ermine. of one of its Asso? ciate Justices. ? Third. The present occupation of the State' House ey United States troops, and the attendant surveillance exercised by them over all who enter the building, visit upon the people of South Carolina a" most harsh incident of military rule, which,'while ittends to discredit all civil authority, furnishes none of the compen? sations that attach to military govern? ment, in the protection of life and prop? erty^ and " the due maintenance of public oriier. - The usurped authority thus sustained by an exhibition of armed force is essen? tially parasitical^ having no sources of subsistence within itself, and utterly re? pudiated by-those who furnish the public supplies, embracing almost the entire tax-paying citizenship of the State, and the major portion of its intelligence and moral worth. The Government, on the contrary; represented by Governor Wade Hampton, is j abundantly-sustained by the voluntary contributions of a- patriotic people, which, are,duly applied to the maintenance of the courts, the Asylum for the Insane; the Colored Orphan Asy? lum, the Penitentiary,- the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and all the beneficiaries of the State. It is,the only ,civil author? ity tha,t governs or can govern in South Carolina. The pretended authority which Opposes it exists only as an ob? struction, and is incapable of being vital? ized into an efficient agent for the con? duct, of a civil administration. It has uot any1 present means for its financial support, and is without even a remote expectancy,! for the Supreme Court de? cided, as . early as December 6th, 1876, that the body which originated the so called tax act, approved by D. H. Cham? berlain, Esq., was not", as it claimed to be, the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, but a mere as? semblage of private persons. The opinion of the Supreme Court in that case was delivered by the Chief Jus? tice, the two Associate Justices concur? ring. Fourth. Governments are sometimes constrained to violate fundamental prin? ciples, in order to meet great emergen cies, and to advance the common interests of'their citizenship, but there is no such consideration of expediency to impel ac? tion'adverse to the'f?ll exercise, byGov erh?r Hampton, of his authority as the duly elected Governor of South Carolina. -His public declarations and acts attest his purpose, that under his administra? tion the government of South Carolina shall "recognize and maintain inviolate the rights'of all," and that it will "be a government which submits loyally and heartily to the Constitution and laws ; the laws of the nation and the laws of the State, accepting; and obeying faithfully the whole Constitution as it is." Permit us to add, that "the question to consider for the immediate welfare" of the State of South Carolina, "is the question of j government or no government; of social order, and all the peaceful industries that belong to it, or a return to barbarism." It is the unalterable resolve of Governor Hampton, and of the majority of the peo? ple of South Carolina, who by their free suffrages elected him as their Chief Mag? istrate, never to submit to the domina? tion of the usurped authority which now holds with an armed force the Capitol of the State. They will resist it everywhere and continually, to, their utmost power, yet always within the limits that pre-1 scribe their paramount duty as American citizens to bear trne faith and allegiance to the Constitution and the Union, and practice true obedience to the laws. Such resistance cannot be doomed in? consistent with a law-abiding citizenship, for the Hampton government has re? ceived the recognition directly or indi? rectly of all the Circuit Judges, save one, and even he has decided that Governor Hampton received the highest number of votes, although holding that the election was not legally declared, the Senate hav? ing failed or refused to attend at the pub? lication of the vote by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Circuit Courts are now virtually our courts of last resort, owing to the death of the Chief Justice; the absence or non-con? currence of one of the two Associate Jus? tices; who now constitute the Supreme Court, and the fact that the General As? sembly, which is alone empowered to fill the vacancy, has the same dual character as the Governorship. The government of Governor Hampton has also the active support of almost the entire intelligence and respectability of both races and par? ties in the State, while that of Chamber? lain is upheld chiefly by bayonets aud the mercenary hands of unworthy office? holders and office-seekers. We, therefore, respectfully submit that obedience to law, as announced by our court of last resort, with no provision of the National Constitution militating therewith, and with no tribunal having the power to absolve us from the duty to render such obedience, the Congress of the United States having enacted no statute in the premises, imperatively re? quires every good citizen to maintain under all circumstances, and at all hazards, the Hampton government, al? ways, however, with due submission to the laws of the United States; while a regard for enduring peace and the com? mon good makes the same government a desideratum to all true patriots, and ad? vocates of that self-government com? mended, by the declaration of our Na? tional Independence. We have the honor to be, very respect? fully, your obedient servants and fellow citizens. J.'B. Kershaw. R. K. Scott. T. J. Mackey. James H. Riojt. T. J. Robertson. ' . Hard Time? in Texas. Texas is a magnificent country, so we are told, almost boundless in area, limit? less in productions/and capable ef sup? porting all the people that ever come into it. Periodically, perhaps we may say annually, a sort of spirit of emigration takes hold of the farming communities of the older . Southern States, and at once they take the Texas fever. During the past winter so many have gone into the Lone Star State that we see it stated the immigrants could not at times be sup? plied with food on arrival. The newspa? pers have advised the newcomers to bring something to eat with them as well as money, for when they get there there are no provisions to buy even if. they have coffers of money. If there are any of our readers itching to go to Texas, let us beg them to bear the ills they have awhile longer, and as a sort of sedative read the following extract from the annual ad? dress of the Master of the State Grange of Texas, which met a month or more ago at Tyler, Texas, i He says: "It is useless to deny the fact that gen? eral want of thrift and consequent de? pression pervades the tillers ol the soil in our country. They are not accumula? ting money; the year's financial state? ment shows the balance against them.? The scarcity of-money among the masses and in the commercial centres demands a reform. Everywhere the cry is 'hard times.' Why is this ??? Is-it due to the maladministration of government and of? ficial corruption ? Is it due to a bad financial system of government? -Is it due to costly transportation ? It is due in part to these causes, but mainly to misdirected individual enterprise, specu? lative farming and a ruinous credit sys? tem. Let us examine ourselves, and not charge our faults upon others. What is the needed reform ? Restless speculative farming1 must be abandoned for a more conservative, frugal and cautious system, conducted by a solid cash basis. High interest and credit have been a baneful influence upon Southern agriculture. These have hung like a mighty pall upon the hopes, and have paralyzed the ener? gies of our people. We were left poor after the war. Cotton was the most mar? ketable prdduct by which we could raise money. Its high value induced us to de? vote our attention to its production to the exclusion of all other crops, thus neglecting home supplies, i We could, at 20 cents per pound, with a disorganized labor, realize some money in its produc? tion, but by paying a high rate of interest for money to defray the current expenses of the farm, we became involved, and have continued to raise cotton, with the hope of meeting our obligations, but find I ourselves sinking deeper and deeper in I Our embarrassments, with each revolving year.-'The price has gone below the usual cost of production. We are left with our farms going to dilapidation? our homes are without supplies?and we are growing poorer and poorer from year to year. "From the best information at my com j mand, being unaided by any system of statistics, I can safely say that over $30, [ 000,000 of farm supplies were imported into this State during the last year, ex | elusive of live stock, sugar, coffee and dry I j goods. We have bought rice and tobac? co at twice the cost of raising here; we j ' have paid this large amount, draining our country to enrich another. "Is not reform necessary here, and is not the individual farm the place to sup? ply it? We are devoting our time, our euergy and our all to make cotton, which brings in the market what itcosttomake it. Never was there in the history of any agricultural people a greater neces? sity for reform." When and How to Use Spectacles. But in general it happens that people do not know precisely the time" -when spectacles become necessary. Many peri sons imagine there is a certain period of the human life when eye-glasses are re? quired, which has given rise to that per? nicious plan of many .self-styled opticians to prepare spectacles for every age, which they, of course, dispose of to the ignorant and inexperienced. As soon as a man of fifty years of age, for example, has through any circumstances forced his sight for a few days, he begins to imagine he must have spectacles. These he ob? tains, asking for and trying to obtain the best for his particular age ; and after a short time he probably arrives at-the con? clusion that he can see better without them. The fact is that some men of sev? enty, or even eighty years of age, enjoy their eyesight as well as at any period of their lives, while their children and per? haps grand-children cannot do without eye-glasses. The time when this benefi? cent and blessed invention of the great Eoger Bacon?of the so-called "dark ages"?is needed, depends not Only on the special conformation of the organ, but on the care that has been taken of it? the proper use, or the abuse?the neglect of nice attentions in washing, etc., or the misfortune of compulsory work too many hours, over very minute or shining arti? cles, and with injurious lights. The sim? plest rules of ascertaining the need of eye-glasses are, first, to note if you are obliged to remove small print or small objects further than usual from your eyes in erder to see them distinctly; secondly, if you find yourself involuntarily moving nearer to the light than usual with you in order to read a letter or book; thirdly, if very small objects appear contused after you have looked at them for any length of time; fourthly, if the eyes, after a little close attention to anything, become so fatigued that you are obliged to turn aside to give them relaxation; and, lastly, if the sight on first awaken? ing is very weak, and does not recover its customary degree of force until some time after. As for the choice of eye-glas3es, here are a few general rules to begin with: In the first place, good glasses ought never to magnify the objects very much, but merely to show them to us clear, simple and exactly such as they are. Even in the exceptional cases, where rather strong magnifiers are need? ed, the proof when they are too strong will be when you are obliged to bring the object much closer to the eye than a sound sight requires?in brief, every per? son ought, generally speaking, to be able to read conveniently with his spectacles at the same distance he was accustomed to when his visual powers were perfect. All eye-glasses should be formed of pure glass. Ihere should be no specks, rays, globules, or other imperfections. Mr. White Cooper says, "There is a common prejudice in favor of pebbles, and they j certainly possess two advantageous quail-1 ties?extreme hardness, rendering it dim cult to scratch or break them; and clear- i ness, never becoming dull from moisture." Surely these are important advantages, and they are also considered to be cooler than other glasses. The only thing against them is, they cost so very much more than all other glasses. But good and true glasses should be in all their parts of an equal thickness, In proportion to their convexity, as well ae of an equal form. Another test of true eye-glasses is by holding them obliquely over print, all of the letters of which will preserve their true character if the glasses are correct. It must never be forgotten that the frame in which eye-glasses are set must be ex? actly suited to the wearer, because the breadth or narrowness of the npper part of the nose?in fact the space between the two eyes?differs so much with differ ent people that the centres of tbe glasses and the centres of the eyes are sure not to agree unless properly adjusted. For this reason, if there were no other rea? sons, it is best to have spectacles made expressly for you by a qualified optician. With the venders of cheap spectacles "to suit all sights" this is never considered, because the wholesale manufacturer makes them to a common standard to suit all noses, and not the nose of any ?''particular fellow." Frames that main? tain their position by pinching the nose should not be used.?Frazer's Magazine. The Foul Tongue of Slander.? "Be thou chaste as ice and pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny,'1 said the great poet, and he was not-'poetizing either! and men as well as women?for there be men gossips as well as women gossips?are but too eager to give ear to the venomous tongue of slander, whose edge is sharper than the sword; and are ready to credit almost any story concern? ing a citizen, neighbor or ?friend. Of course there are multitudes of brave hearts and faithful people who combat these shameful tales so idly told,'- and stand like walls of adamant against the consuming tide; but still- the slimy waters roll on to poison and befoul the pure and the upright as well as' those who may have cause to claim indulgence. Who has not felt this tide of slander gushing by him, holding in its weedy embrace the reputation of a dear friend, or of a dear friend's -friend; and which he had no power to rescue? He might I combat: the swelling waters and turn; them from their course in one direction when they would dodge by him in an? other and roll on in their abominations.' There are cases of this character occur? ring in every community periodically, in? juring individuals and sapping the morals of a people; yet in many cases tbey are arrant falsehoods and have not a sem? blance of foundation in fact. Yet what can the slandered do? How catch a flying rumor and pin it on the knave who gave it currency ? How stop it in its sinuous career when you ^know-not whither it takes its slimy way? There' is nothing for the accused to do but be brave and noble, and conscious of their j own innocence, live down the lie I It is a hard thing to do in some cases, but what else can be done ? Look Out, Young men.-r-When it is said of a man, "he drinks," and it can be proven, what, store wants him for a clerk? What church wants him for a member ? I Who will trust him ? What dying man will appoint him executor ? He may have been forty years building his repu? tation?it goes down. Letters of recom? mendation, tbe backing of business firms, a brilliant ancestry, cannot save him. Why? It is whispered all 'through the community that "be drinks I" When a young man loses his reputation for so? briety he might as well be at the bottom of the sea. There are young men here who have good names as their only capi? tal. Your father has started you in city life. He could only.give yon an educa? tion. He started you however, under a Christian influence. You have come to the city. You are now achieving your fortune, under God, by your own right arm. Now look out young man, that there is no doubt of your sobriety.' Do not create any suspicion by going in and out of liquor establishments, or by any odor of your breath. You cannot afford to do it, for your good name is your only capital, and when that is blasted with the reputation of taking strong drink, all j is gone. Willard for the Vacant Chief Justice? ship. 1 ; The public mind is beginning to cast about for a successor to the late, distin? guished functionary, whose illness and death, at so critical an era in our affairsi not .only deprived us of an 'able and learned judge, but by having a decided Supreme Bench, has arrested,;the:peace}' ful process of the establishment of a law? ful State government just at this point where, after the authoritative declaration that Hampton is Governor, it would seem that complete success was about to crown our efforts. ' . , ?' Never has the value to a people of an able, fearless and honest judiciary been more signally illustrated than in the his? tory of our Supreme Court during the last few months. That we have not been remitted to another two years subjection to a corrupt and odious government, or forced to perhaps a hopeless appeal'to arms for our deliverance, we owe to the splendid exhibition of firmness and in? tegrity of those Judges, who, when.ap? pealed to by political opponents to stay usurpation and establish*the right, gave heed to the clamors and objurgations of their party throughout the nation, and, themselves Republicans, exposed Re? publican frauds, and prevented the con? summation of Republican iniquity. We regret that the Chief Justice'did not live to complete the work so well be Sun. We regret that his sable associate id not make himself an enduring link between the two races of his adopted State, and by securing the permanent esteem and regard of ?"the whole people, establish himself the life-long represen? tative of his race upon the Supreme Bench. We do not regret, however, that his defection and cowardice have made but the more conspicuous the judicial virtues of his associate, who, when death' struck down his Chief; and fear drove Wright, into imbecile vacillation, alone and unsupported upheld the dignity of the Bench, and left undone nothing which he could do towards securing the triumph of Truth and Justice.. We are glad that the opportunity is now afforded of proving that prejudice does not sway the minds of Carolinians, that they can admire high qualities and noble conduct in even a political foe. We think that the Judge, who, in a building garrisoned by the forces of a usurper, fearlessly proclaimed the de? cision of the law against that usurper's claims, and swept away the hostile con? stabulary stationed there . to overawe iiim, is certainly in one respect well fitted to preside over a Court whose dignity he knows how. to main tain, and. that one who has championed the right in a. time of storm and peril can bo trusted for-the better and happier times, the Jiope .of which he has been so instrumental, in bestowing upon us. There are many native sons of Carolina whom we would delight to honor. But we think that bur whole people would feel that we bad done injustice to ourselves were, we not to advance to the highest position on the Bench one so well qualified to fill it, and to whom we are so indebted.?Sumter Watchman. A Good Point Made by the Corolina . i Spartan. By reference to the Auditor's books, we find one-twelfth of the land of Spartan burg is returned as "arable"?much, of this not being cultivated?and it is wor? thy of remark that this one-twelfth now bears the whole burden of supporting our people, paying their taxes, &c.; in short, one-twelfth of the land of the county supports everything in the county, as everything is based upon and supported by agriculture. Out of a total of 566,; 723 acres, we have 296,992 acres in old fields, 183,677 in (original) woodland, and only 86,054 acres called "arable." The burden of supporting the couuty falls not alone upon the'cultivated land, but also upon the labor which.cultivates the land, and we are astonished to find so small an amount of land and labor successfully supporting the .county; in? deed, if our country was not what it is, if our lands were not intrinsically worth more than they are valued at, such a state of affairs would be impossible. We come now to fhe main point in view, and ask why should we require this small amount of land and labor to carry this burden, when a more liberal spirit on the part of our landholders would? by dividing?lighten it ? Is it not clear to every thinking man that we need a larger population to put more laud under cultivation? This being conceded, the questions arise, How can we secure a larger population? And what.induce? ments can we offer them ? The firatj..we answer, By,advertising your country and its advantages"; and the second, By rent? ing and selling lands on low, reasonable terms. It is clearly within the power of the landholders of Spartan burg county to double the population of the county, in a comparatively short time; and it is also clear, that in doing so, they double the value of their own property. 'Is! it wise to keep all this land lying idle,'dead capital; oh which taxes are paid, and for which no interest is'received? aha would it not be better to sell and lease it at low rates to actual settlers, who will cultivate and improve it, and increase its value and the value of the property surround? ing it, than to allow it to rem?tti i? ?ts present state? Our farms and-' planta? tions are too large, and experience mas proven that no country has ever arrived at a high state of cultivation; .(or orMfcTv ilization even,) until it became properly settled. These surplus lands 'ireprese&t' so much idle capital, which should be loaned at low' rates, in order that its value may be .increased, and the country benefitted.' v . A Queer Reason for Making a Cabinet, , AppoiNTMENT,?By the way, Judge Patterson, of Terre Haute, 'who has just returned from .Washington, - says that he said to the,President :^T;Mqj\' did you happen to select Dick Thompson? I know Morton was straining every nerve to keep - Tyner in the Cabinet, and the friends of Ben, Harrison were pushing him for a place. Why, under,, these cir? cumstances, did you pidc ojut; Thomp? son?" The President replied, "Nearly forty years ago I heard him make a speech in Columbus, Ohio. I stood a square away, but I heard distinctly every word of his j silvery voice, and his wonderful elo? quence impressed me so that I have never forgotten it." Mr. Thompson says it was in the campaign of 1840 when he spoke the last time in Columbus. ?? . I was studying the Secretary's (Thomp? son's) face carefully, and "asked him, "Wasyour appointment a surprise ?" "I should say so," "he replied,- "It came like a clap of thunder but of a clear sky. The first intimation I had was a telegram asking if I would accept a Cabinet position, and asking my choice between Secretary of War,' Secretary of the Interior, and Postmaster-General. I did riot know what to. say or think. I consulted some of my friends, and finally in the matter of choice 'determined , to take plenty of sea room. No," added he, after a moment, "I had no more idea of ever again entering public life than I had {of committing suicide."

C.y News gives an in? teresting account of the most novel legal proceedings we have ever heard of^ an action against a man because he would not accept office. ' ; Nor have we ' e'ver heard of a man before who needed; to bo sued to make him accept an.official posi? tion. The next copy .of the/.Supreme Court Reports" of 'Norfp. Carolina will contain this case,-which: the News says has no precedent in North. Carolina, nor as far. as we have heard anywhere else. It seems that one, Aaron G. Hcaden- was elected 'Constable of the town of "Pitts boro, XJh^^?W^y,j^^^0iW; and refused to serve.'1 Whereupon H; A'. London, jr., and' the Commissioners of that town.brought,suit against him in a justice's court. to recover' $25* given by the laws of Nbrtfr Carolina ^agaii?st any person-who,! Being-elected or appointed Town - Constable, &c, shall refuse to qualify or act. The spectacle of a Con? stable in pursuit of delinquents is com? mon enough,' 'but a' community in chase of a Constable is a rare exhibition. The. sight of a.man:hunting office is much more frequent than that of an- office hunting ? man. pie Justice, however, gave judgment1 against 'the defendant, who thereupon appealed to ? the Superior Court, which reversed the action of .the Magistrate? giving judgment for, ^-de? fendant for costs. The plaintiffs, carried the case:to'ttd'Shprehie Court;' where it was heard' *f a -rederrt term'1 of that tri? bunal.
