WASHINGTON, September L-The recent order of
Gen. Grant that District Commanders will make
no appointments to civil offices of persons who
have been removed by their predecessors or them?
selves, does not make a new i -sue botween tho
President and Cen. Grant. There is good authori?
ty for asserting that the rumors of a difficulty hav?
ing arisen on this subject are groundless.* Tito
Reconstruction Act vests in the General Com?
manding tho same powers that are conferred upon
District Commanders in regard to removals and
appointments, and therefore the order of Grant is
merely considered as a notice in advance that he
would disapprove of such appointmen*s as he in?
dicates.

DEATH OF REV. DH. MAURICE MAYER.
We were pained to learn on Saturday evening thc
sudden death of the above camed gctleman, at his
residence in New York, on Wednesday last. We
regret not having tho requisite material at hand
for a full sketch of the lifo of the deceased.
Dr. MAURICE MAYER was born in Durkheim, in
the Palatinate (Rhenish Bavaria), about tho year
1825, and there received his elementary education.
Giving carly promise of a quick Mid sprightly
mind, his parents ni.'de groat efforts to procure
for him the advantage s of a liberal education. Ho
passed through tho t_'vmiasium in Spires, and
then, we behove, enterca tho University at Mu?
nich, whore he finished his h boral studies. He
subsequently studied law at Heideloerg, and after
haring obtained his degree, returned to the place
of his birth, a small Palatine town, where he pro?
posed to establish himself in the practice of tho
law. A cotemporary, who knew him at that time,
tells us that, notwithstanding tho prejudice still
prevalent in that country against thoso of tho
Jewish faith, Dr. MATER onjoyed the esteem
of tho entire community, and had tho entree into
thc best society of tho Pfalz.
Unfortunately for his future carom, he became
involved in tho political tronidos that resulted in
the revolution ol is is. With a commanding in?
tellect, a fiery enthusiasm, and unparalleled
enerby, be took a very active part in the struggle,
and when his party suffered a final defeat in the
tall of Ristadt, in 1S49, he. with many others, wus
:apturcd, and tried for high treason. Upon bia
icquittal of this crime he was indicted for some
minor State"offence, the exact technical term of
ivhieh wo do not now recollect. He was fou:id
guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment for a term
jf years, but tho penalty was afterwards coininut
jd to banishment, when he emigrated to the Unit?
ed States about tho yoar 1850.
Whilo iu Now York, if wc havo boen correctly
nformcd, he prepared for tho ministry, and in
L853 was called to tho congregation Beth Elohim,
worshipping ia tho Hasel atreot Synagoguo in
bia city. In 1854 he married Miss OTTOLENOUI,
if this city. In 1859 ho returned to New York,
vherc he resided up to tho period of his death,
mgaged in thc practice of tho law, and in literary
nusuits. In religion, aa in politics, bo waa a
liberal ; a rationalist in his views of biblical
tcrmoneutics, and by no means orthodox in his
minions of the Mosaic creed. Tho office and
lutio8 of tho ministry, therefore, wo have reason
o behove were distasteful to him ; and nothing
ould induco him to resume its functions after ho
lad resigned his position in this city.
Dr. MAYER was a fino Bcholar. Ho had enjoyed
he advantages of the best schools in Germany,'
md with superior mental endowmonts, and fine
iterary taste, he invariably strovo to make the
nost of his opportunities. Ho was a good linguist,
dis familiarity with the classics was such as is
inly attained by a thorough European training.
[Io was a tine Hebrew scholar, and spoke and
vroto tho German, his native language, with ro
narkablo grace, elegance audboauty of diction.
Ho waa master also of the French, English, and
)ther modern tongues. For years ho contributed
freely to tho Jewish periodicals of tho United
States and of Germany, and his articles wero
Uways well rojcivod both by editors and reidera,
ile translated mauy works from Gorman into Eng?
lish, and, wo believe, at the time of his death was
engaged in an important work of thia character.
Dr. MAYER was of a fine personal presence,
amiable iu character, of thorough gooduosa of
heart, aud pleasant iii manner. Hence ho was
well received in every aphere of life or aociety with
which his chequered careor brought him in con?
tact. His frieuda aro to be found throughout the
United States. During tho past few years he has
held the office of "Grand Maskil" (Secretary) of
thc Order of B'NAI B'RITH, a secret Jewish organi?
zation, extending throughout tho United States.
Ho krA rendered valuable services in tho estab?
lishment of this Order, and its members every?
where will hold bis memory dear. Tho B'r.Mi
B'RiTn lodges in New York charged themselves
with his burial, and interred him with all thc hon?
ors tho simple Jewish ritual permits of,
Dr. MAYER leaves an afflicted widow to mourn
his loas.
A CORRESPONDENT of tho Indianapolis Journal,
in describing the Royal Bavarian Foundory, at
Munich, says ; "We were surprised to seo here
such a laigc number of models of statute from
tho hands ol American sculptors, already erected
in, or destined tu bo erected in various cities of
our country. Prominent among these models is
CRAWFORD'S large equestrian statuo of WASHING?
TON, which is being put up in ono of the public
squares in Richmond, Va. The four smaller fig?
ures which are to surround the colossal statue of
tho father of our country have not yet been ?hip?
ped to America; however, when tue whole work ia
once completed, it may well constitute the boast
and pride of the Virginia capita), Another fine
work of art ij HARRIET HOSMERS statue of
Ger ral BENTON, which waa modelled in
lion. , und is to be erected in St. Louis, Missouri.
Among other models of statues hero aeon ia
JOEL HARTS Henry Clay, to be erected in Now
Orleans; CRAWFORD'S Bcethovu., to bo erected tn
Boston, and three by ROGERS, viz. : The Soldier's
Monument, for Cincinnati, the large bronze doora
for tho capitol at Washington, and Gen. Bolivar,
foi South America. Nearly all these models are
executed in Rome, which has become thu resi
douc . of the majority of the American sculptors.
H is not, as . rroQcously supposed, that they may
have the patterns of antiquity before their i ves,
that they reside in Romo, but simply because
good and akUlul workmen cnn there' bo had at
three times cheaper wages than in any other
place. Hence our sculptors there hire others to
do thc rough part of the work for them, and just
before thc models are completed take them into
their own hands, in order, as it is known, to give
them their finishing touch. Of tho other models
herc exhibited I need not speak. Suffice it tu say
that the work of Americans compare.: very favora?
bly with thoso of the most celebrated European
sculptors.
NEGRO BONDS.
U. S. DISTRICT COURT, for Western District of ]
South Carolina, at Greenville, August Term, 1867.
Thursday, August 22, 18C7.
[Through the politeness of Messrs. EPPINO and
PRINGLE, WO were furnished with full proceedings
of the Court up to Friday, but thiough a press of
matter were unablo to publish it iu our Saturday's
issue. We make room this morning for tho follow?
ing interesting account of a trial of a case of |
'.negro bonds :"]
Thomas lt. Agnew, Assignoo, vs. Simpson Bobo.
Thia was an action on a note Riven for the pur
chaso money of a negro slave sold by Mrs. Wofford
to thc defondaut in 1858, and warranted by her at
that time to be sound and a slave for life. Note
for $1000, interest annually, due in 1800, was as?
signed to plaintiff.
The defence relied upon was a failure of conside?
ration iu that tho negro, warranted to be a Blave
for life, is still alive but had been made freo. And
also upon payment-the debt hoing sequosteted
by thu Government of the Confederate States as
tho proporty of an alien enomy, was paid under
compulsion of that Govcrnmont, while at war with
the United States. Hon. B. F. Perry, Esq., ap?
peared for tho plaintiff. The defense was conduct?
ed by Messrs. J. P. Reed and Bobo. The case was
referred to a jury and ably and fully argued by the
counsel on both sides.
In his charge, the Judge said, substantially :
the amount is small; the principle of overwhelm?
ing magnitude. I should gladly have escaped
from the consideration of this case. The settle?
ment of tho question, however it be settled, will
carn' desolation and poverty home to some one.
Great investments lie in bonds and notes given
for tho purchase money of negroes. In these,
women and children have staked their all. Tho
question is, who shall bear the loss ? Poverty and
hardship must como. In my opinion, tho hard?
ship must bc borne by those who had the misfoi
tune to bo owners. It does not fall within the
province of tho Court to adjust and equalize tho
burdens of tho war. That office rather belongs to
a legislative tribunal. Abolition grew ont of the
nar-tho position of tb- se Southern States in the
war they waged against the Government. Negroes
were employed in many of the essential elements
of the war; they created subsistence, for the
armies, erected fortifications, and, in fact, consti?
tuted the industrial basis of the great conflict.
The abolition of slavery thus became a military
necessity; emancipation an inevitable moral result
of the war. These States could not be recognized
until they had recognized what the war had
effected. '
It was competont fr>r the United States to deal
with slaves just as with any other personal
proporty. Tho owner must suffer. Who suffered
when malea or horses were taken? or cotton burnt
or lifted, or ships captured at sea ? Who, but the
owner of such property ? But the laws of property,
regulating tho relationship of debtor and creditor,
in the matter of the mules, whips or cotton, were
not abrogated. Debts or balances due on the pur?
chase of such mules, ships or cotton wore not can?
celled. The debtors wera not released. Their obli?
gations remain in force at this day. The seller
never made a guarantee against the action of war.
Take the case of land. A. owns a fee simple. He
sells and conveys tho title ho got, placing tho pur?
chaser in possession of all tho incidents of owner?
ship with which he himself had boen invested. If j
the State in the exercise of its right of eminent
domain should take the fee for public uses, tho
seller makes no guarantee against tho Stata ; ho
is not hablo for acts of th 3 State or against con?
fiscation of tho United States. In this case, tho
ground of defense, failuro of consideration, doea
not therefore appear to be made out ; the warranty
was in every view good at tho time it was givon,
its subsequent failuro was duo tc causes for which
the Belier of the negro was in no wise responsible.
Tho other ground of defense, payment by com?
pulsion under the Sequestration Law of the Con?
federate Government, is equally untenable. That
Government nover had a legal existence, and pay?
ment of the debt under its regulations was there?
fore void.
Under these instructions tho jury retired, and
soon returned with tho following verdict : "Wo
find for the Plaint iii' sixteen hundred and fifty-ono
dollars and five cents," the full amount with in
erest.
The Greenville Enterpriseh&a the following com
mcuts on this case : .
DEBTS FOR NEGROES.-Last week wo reported
the case of Agnew "s. Bobo, decided before Judge
Brvan, at this Court, which was an action upon a
note given in 1858, for a negro; the note hoing
held by a Now Yorker, under the direction of tho
Court, a verdict waB given for tho entire dobt.
The case was defended with great ability, and, ac?
cording to our humble opinion, by the moat trium?
phant argument, by J. P. Reid. Esq., the Solicitor
of thia Circuit, who maintained that contracta not
having been executed, and the law of the land
making it now criminal to hold a slave, no Court
could enforce a contract now remaining executory.
Cases of this kind havo not yet reached tho
Supremo Court of tho United States, and the case
wu speak of being under two thousand dollars, no
appeal can be taken, so tho verdict of the jury as
to it is final. This is to bo regretted, as wo think
it most probable that the Supremo Court would
decide the case against tho enforcement, at this
time, of contracts for ncgroeB, upon the samo
grounds that tho Supreme Court of Louisiana has
decide J. We are constrained to bobe ve so, because
tho analogous casos support that decision, that
where tho law supporting a contract is repealed,
tho contract goes with it, more especially when the
very consideration of the contract becomes abso?
lutely criminal as well as void. *
Whether the plaintiff is entitlod pay for the ser?
vices of a negro up to the timo of emancipation, is
another question. Natural justice would seem to
require this much certainly, we think no more.
Th- power of States and Governments to ?manci?
p?t c slaves, has always been claimed and exercised,
and whenever that power was put in torce, tho
?State and tho United States asserted their para?
mount right and tifio to control the services of
slaves. After they have done this, it would seom
injustice in those powers, through a court, or any
other instrumentality, to compel any man to pay
for tho life-time services of a negro, when these
same powers, State and Federal, civil and military,
would terribly punish him if bo dared to claim
those services.
We think General Sickles, in suspending all suits
for negro dobts, hos shown a wise forecast, and
that bis proceedings in this regard will be fully
vindicated hereafter by every department of gov -
ern mont, both State and Federal. Contrae ti for
slaves, unperformed, must perish with slavery
itself. This we venture to assert, notwithstanding
the opinions of a number of good lawvor? and res?
pectable jurists to tho contrary. We know we
havo many of the same sort to sustain our opinion.
State Items.
A communication in the Greenville Enterprise
refers to tho Mossrs. BATES, of Charleston, in tho
following flattering terms :
The Missos Bates, of Charleston, arrived in our
town last week, and promise t > give a fine uorios
of Readings and Iustructions.
They are eminently qualified. Tho elder, Miss
Mary Bates, proposes to furnish eight Readings,
ou such subjects as Westminster Abbey, Florence,
Days in Scotland, Ac, at tho Baptist Female Col?
lege Chapel, commencing on Thursday, 29th inst.,
at half-past eight o'clock P. M. The younger,
Miss Agnes Bates, will form a class and give i li?
nt ructions in History, Architecture, Ac, connect?
ed more or less closely with the Readings. It will
be a great privilege to attend, and doubtless they'
will bo both popular and instructive.
The Misses Bater are tool well known and too
highly appreciated to need a word of commenda?
tion from any one, They have taught foi years,
both in Pendleton and Charleston, and educated
tho childron of the first peoplo in tho land. Their
scholarship is of a high order. Their rotlnoment
of taste and elegance of manners, and possession
of all that is noble and praiseworthy in life, havo
mailo around them a largo circle of friends
wherever they have boon.
They havo recently travelled in Europo, and
these readings aro tho fruit of those travels.

half. But corn is made, and rice is doing its very
best, whilo peas, potatoes and slips aro, upon the

RAIN ! HAIN ?-Since our last issue, it bas rained
almost continuously. The whole earth ?B Hoakcd
and low lands ovcrlfowcd. Much injury1, bas been
dono to tho growing crops, especially to corn on
low lands and thc cotton. It may be reasonably
expected that manv of the matured bolls, especial?
ly on good colton, will rot from tho continuous
wet weather. Tho gathering of fodder has boen
completely prevented, as the sun has scarcely
peeped out long enough fur tho last week to dry
off the Wades. - LnurentciUe Herald.

There is a great dial of sickness all over the

to tho 17th :
Thc Loddon Times of tho 17th of August has a
lengthy editorial on the subject of German
consolidation under Prussia, in which the writer
?aya :
There is no doubt but Prussia baa, in some in?
stances, used her advantage with unnecessary
harshness. In her dealiug with her sister States
she has often been as improvident as she wae in?
consistent and unfair. Tho policy which spared
Bavaria was hardly justified in sacrificing Hano?
ver. A movement, also, for which nationality af?
forded the original j. retoxt, should have been car?
ried on with greater regard to national principios.
Thcra was unnecessary harshness in Count Bis?
marck's dealing with tho Polish deputies from
Posen ; and in his conduct toward Denmark
with respect to tho Danish districts of North
Schleswig ho was guilty not only of a breach of
faith, but also of a flagrant outrage against Euro?
pean opinion. A more generous as* well as a
more efficient means for Prussia to rally all Ger?
many round ber standard would be the promotion
of such sound, liberal institutions as mirfbt befit
one of tho most advanced, no loss than most
orderly, of European races.
Tho'German papers say that the King of Prussia
on his way lo Cassel was overywhoro cordially re?
ceived.
Under tho auspices of Rothschild, Todesco,
v7odianor, and other capitalists, and Counts
Goorgo Karoli, Featetics, Aladar, Andrassy, and
other magnates, a Hungarian credit bank has just

Uorins, in seventy-five thousand shares of two
tiundred florins, to be increased if necessary to
ihirty millions. Three millions are to be sub
scribed by the public.
On Saturday, August 10, a daughter of the late
Henriette Sontag, the Countess Alexandrine Rossi,

On the 15th of August tho English Houso of
[jords gave judgment on tho important appeal of
;ortain shareholders in the cuncorn of Overond,
burney & Co., against the decision o?' Vice Chan
?ellor Malins, which placed them on the list of
:ontributories. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cran
vorth and Lord Colonsay, all pronounced judg
nont against the appellants ; a decision of vast in?
terest to tho creditors and shareholders.
Tho President, Secretary and several of tho
nembers of the Operativo Tailor's Association of
London, appoared at the Marlboro Street Police
Dourt, Loudon, in anawor to summonses charg
ng thom with conspiracy. The conspiracy con
liats in continuing the system of pickets about
;he premises of master tailors. Sovoral men aro
iwaiting trial at the central criminal court on a
limilar charge, and Mr. E. Lewis applied for tho
loaring or tua charges against the present de
'endants to be adjourned until tho trial of the
ither mon had taken place. Mr. Knox, the mag
strate, declared that since he came back to
England ho had been so much shocked by tim
loings of trad is unionists that be would not grant
ho adjournnment, and the hearing procoedod.
The death is announced of Lord Dunkellin, ono

Ie was the son of the Marquis of Clanricarde. Ho

louse of Commons as to a rating franchise in
croughs which threw out the Russell-Gladstono
tlinistry last year.
Tho Carlisle Journal, reporting Lord Brougham's
irrival at Brougham Hall, from Franco, says :
His Lordship appeared to bo in a very feeble
ondition, considerably more so than on his visit
as t year, and it scorned to require all his exertions,
nth tho assistance of his valet, to get out of tho
amago. Having descended to thu platform bo
at down in a chair until the train passed on, his
nly inquiry being as to tho' stato of tho woathor,

hair brought for the purpose. With tho assist

iis carriage, which was in waiting for him, and
laving been assisted inside, bo was driven to

Thu Dublin correspondent of tho London Post,
mting on tho 15th of April says :
The torrible diseaso known as tho "purple fever"
las manifested itself in tho citv of Cork, . wo
erious cases, "in which the patient became pur
ilo in the face and decomposition actually set in
lefcro death, " have occurred there. A local paper
irges tho authorities, in the face of such a dire

aeans for removing from tho lanes and streets
