BBOWNTiiXD.-^The arguments in this case were heard yesterday by Chief Justice Willard, in chambers. J. Barrett Coben, Esq., of the firm of Duryea & Cohen, appeared as counsel for Jno. W. Brownfield, who was elect? ed Clerk of Court by the Legislature in 1866 ; and D. H. Chamberlain, Esq., the Attor? ney-General, appeared on behalf of Mr. A. C. Richmond, who claims the office of Clerk of | Court by virtue of having been elected in Juno last, at elections held under authority of an order oi' Gen. Canby. Mr. Richmond in his .suggestion says that he duly qualifield as Clerk of Court on July 1st last, and subsequently .demanded possession of the office and records, which demand was not complied with. The writ was then issued summoning Mr. Brown? field to appear before the Chief Justice, and show by what authority he retained the office, jthaviog been decided that the Court had full jurisdiction in tho case. The following was the answer of Mr. Brownfield by his couasel to .the suggestion of Mr. Richmond : STATE OF SOUTH OABOLINA- CHARLESTON COUNTY. The answer of J. W. Brownfield to tho writ of 1 quo warranto issued in re the Stat? ex parte the Attorney-General rs. J. W. Brownfield, commanding the said J. W. Brownfield to show by what authority he assumes to act as Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions cf Charleston County, as prayed in the suggestion of tho said Attorney-General. The said J. W. Brownfield, as to his aforesaid authority, comes aud says tr.at he was duly elected as Clerk of the Court, and was duly commissioned by his Excellency James L. Orr, then Governor of tho State of South Carolina, which commission, beating dato the 18th day of December, 1865, is in the possession of the said J. W. Btowufield, ready to be produced at any and all times, and now produced before this honorable Court, and by this warrant the said .J. W. Brownfield has exercised, and still exer? cises the office of Clerk of the Court as afore? said. The Baid-T. W.. Brownfield, for further I an? swers, says that the acta known as the Recon? struction acts, passed by the Congress of the United States, have not vacated his office or deprived bim of the right to execute the same, but that, if the said acts have done so, they could not have affected his rights to the same, as the said acts are unconstitutional, as he is advised. And the said J. W. Brownfield fur? ther shows that if the said acts are constitu? tional, then, under the Constiturion of the .State of South Carolina, ratified on the 15th and 16th days ot April, 1868, he, the said J. W. Brownfield, has not been ousted from the said office as he is advised, and that under the said ?constitution he is still clerk of tho said court, -and that no successor has been constitution? ally elected, and by this warrant he holds the said office. . And the said J. W. Brownfield further shows that the acts known as the Reconstruction acts conferred on the commanding general ol the military districts no power to order elec? tions siter the ratifications of constitutions by the States known aa said military districts,and that if the said military commanders did issue such orders,, they were issued in violation of | law, and, therefore, absolutely void; but now, if ouch orders were not absolutely void, that any party elcoted under such military orders, was of necessity compelled to comply literally with such orders, ind tba? their baviDg failed to comply with snob orders, according to their terms, was a forfeiture of any office that may bave been organized under said orders. And, further, that as soon as the constitution of the the State was accepted by Congress, and the senators and representatives were admitted to Congress, the constitution of the State became the paramount law of the land, and the Con? stitution of the State provides how and when the Clerk of the Court should be elected. The said J. W. Brownfield further shows that the said A. C. Richmond claims to have been -elected under a military order, which the said -J. W. Brownfield is advised is null and void; that tho- so id Richmond did not comply with - tho terms of the said order, but claims to have been qualified under a subsequent act of j the Legislature, which the said J. W. Brown . field is advised by bis counsel is contrary to the Constitution of the State of South Caro? lina. The Bald J. W. Brownfield, therefore, shows that the said A. C. Biciimond bas never been at any time entitled to claim the office of th? Clerk of the Court, and that the said J. W. Brownfield is still the said clerk. DURYEA & COHEN, Counsel tor the Respondent. J. W. Brownfield. The Attorney-General opened bis argument by reading tho military orders of General Can by in regard to tho election, and the twenty seventh seotiou of the fourth article of the con? stitution on the same subject; the certificate from the Registrar of Mesno Conveyance that the bond had been signed and was deposited in that office, also the commission of the Gov? ernor. He also read tue demand of Richmond for the office and the reply of Mr. Brownfield through his counsel, and closed by reading the suggestion which had induced the issuing of the wrii of quo warranto. Mr. Chamberlain said that having argued a similar ca? bet?re and before the same Judge, he deemed it use? less to repeit the arguments used on that oc? casion, especially as he understood that oppo? site counsel designed confining the question strictly to the point at issue, and there would be no points raised as to the legality of the Re H?onstruotion acts or other foreign ?ubjeets. He was present simply to show who was the Clerk .of the Court and not to argue points not bear? ing on that issue. The military orders, thc -constitution and thc acts of the Legislature were the law, and upon thom ho rested his de? fence of the claimant. Mr. Cohen, in reply, said that if the Atlor iney-^General rested upon the military orders, his case would fall short, granting that such .orders could be issued, which, however, could not be dono under tho Reconstruction acts. These orders required all officers elect to qualify under the laws of South Carolina, which stated that the bond must be filed withm thirty days after the election. This not being done in this case, thc election would be void. Rich? mond having failed to comply with this require? ment as to time, Brownfield was still the Clerk, because by the same law the Clerk bolds offico until his successor is elected and qualified. The election in this case was held on Juno 3. under m?itary orders. Thirty days after . this Richmond should have qualified, oi his election was void. The order annonnc ? ing the election was issued July first. Admitting this to bo in conformity with tho Constitution and Reconstruction acts, tho Slat of July ?vas tho last day on which the bond could bo filed, as the military orders required all officers to conform with the requisitions of the Provisional Government. Richmond did not file his bond until the 29lh of August, which, under tho orders, was one month after the election waa mido void. Mr. Brownfield waa commissioned by 'Governor Orr on the I 18th December, 1865, to continuo in office for tour years, and that the office was his property, which was decided as carly as the case of Mar bry vs. Maddison, and recently in the case of the test oath heard before the Supreme Court. Mi'. Brownfield was therefore entitled to hold office until the 18th December, 186"), and then to continue in office until hi? successor was appointed, unless the office should be destroy? ed by the Constitution of the State. Thia has not been done, but the 27th section of the 4th articlo of the Constitution, which provides for this office, says that the Clerk cf the Court shall be elected, and shall boll office on tho same conditions as heretofore. Richmond was not elected under tho said constitution, nor by thc qualified electors un? der tho same, for a large number of these had been disqualified under thc military orders. It was well known that the Chief Justice liad ruled tho Reconstruction acts to be constitu? tional, for if he hat! decidod otherwise it would have been equivalent to stating that he had no right to his seat, and he (Mr. Cohen) bad no desire to argue this question, but desired de? cision on the point that Brownfield was clerk under ihe Reconstruction acts, he not having been nuste;l by military authority. Agaiu, be did not desire to argue that the Reconstruc? tion acts did not give the military commander the authority to order the election of State officers after the constitution had been voted on and accepted. The presiding judge, as Chief of tho Bureau of Military Justice, knew tbat prominent legal gentlemen had advised Gen. Conby that he could not issue tho order for the Juno elections. Richmond did not comply when the State wa3 admitted at a time when the constitution was paramount. No officer could then quality unless elected under the constitution, which was not the case with Richmond, and he did not even quali? fy within the thirty days allowed. It may be argued that tue Legislature permitted Rich? mond to qualify by an after act. The Legis? lature is but tho creature of the constitution, and could not go beyond it. Under the con? stitution and the reconstruction laws Rich? mond not quahfying in thirty days, it stood as if no election had been held. Brownfield was then the Clerk of tho Court, and could qply be removed by the Constitution of tho State. Mr. Chamberlain said that the opposite counsel had admitted that Richmond's elco'iou had failed because ho had not qualified wilbiu tho thirty days. The election held on the 2d and 3d of June was onlv announced by the military on the 1st of July, and it was only then that he had been elected. He had no right until that time to file bis bond, but prior to the close of tho thirty days, on the 13ih day ot August, an act was passed by tho Legisla? ture, extending the time for thirty days long? er. He argued that until the President's proc? lamation ali acts passed were not of full effect, and offices taken previous to that '.vould only be provisional. The State officers wcr^ elect? ed by the only power that could order ;r forbid au election, and they were in readiness when tbe State was admitted to take possession. In conclusion, he would ask that Jehu W. Brownfield do not only vacate the office of Clerk of the Court, which has been unjustly withheld from the claimant, but from tho date of the demand account for the procoeds to that lawful officer. This has been too long delayed, owing to proceedings which could not be con? trolled; but he was hippy to state that he was now here where the case could bo heard, aud he asked that a judgment ot ouster be issued against the said John W. Brownfield, to take effect from the 5th of September. Judge Willard Baid that it had been already announced that be would bo in Chambers on Tuesdays and Fridays, aud his decision would be given on one of those days. SOOTH CABOLINA M?T?AL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.-No quorum was present at tho meeting of this company last evening, and it was informally determined to call another meet? ing for Thursday evening next. MATBIMONIAL SQUABBLES.-The residents of RutledRe-street, noith of Wentworth, wore alarmed a few evenings sinco at hearing the cries of murder and groans. Efforts were made to discover whence the alarm proceeded, but wit ho it success. It W..B shrewdly surmised that tho noise was the result of conjugal infe? licities. A DULL DAX.-The leaden clou la that ob? scured tho sun early yesterday morning:, pour? ed down their contents during the forenoon, and the drip, drip of the rain was a constant sound during the remainder of the day. There were no cases reported last night at the Guard? house or Detective office, and quiet and good behavior seemed to have been the order of thc day._ THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN.-Thi9 journal was sold at auction iu Savannah on Tuesday last for $11.550, about $3500 less than its ap? praised value. The Republican will in future be published and edited by Col. J. R. Sneed, who was the predecessor of the late proprietor, Mr. Hayes. Col. Sneed is a gentleman of ex? perience and ability, and will doubtless make the Republican well worthy of the tar iviog city in which it circulates. A CHANCE FOB COTTON PLANTEBS.-Tho man? ufacturers of the Star Cotton Gm and Con? de ser have reduced their prices fully twenty five per cent, less than the former rates, and these indispensable articles are now offered to the public at a very low figure. M.ssrs. Came? ron, Barkley & Co. are tho agents of the gins, and will take ploasure in explaining their me? chanism and merits. For full particulars see advertisement. A NEEDED ISTPBOVEMENT.-The sidowalk on the north side of Callioun-street, east of tho Bay, is in a deplorable condition, and demands immediate attention. It is lower than tho bed of the street, and covered witb broken bricks, which render walking anything but pleasant. As the new plank road will pass through this portion of Calhoun-stroet, the authorities should see to the sidewalks, or pedestrians will be driven to walk in the middle of the street. SOUIHERN CADETS AT WEST POINT.-Below will be found a list of cadets from thc South I ern States, admitted to West Point Military .vcademy, on first September last. A number ot others bad appointments, but failed to pass the uecessary examination: Tennessee-W. H. W. James; North Carolina-S. W. Jones, W. Lassiter, H. R. Lemby, J. E. Tyler; South Carolina-G. D.

A lot, with tho house and outbuildings, on tho east side of Meeting-street, upper wards, measuring forty feet front by one hundred and forty-two feet six inches deep, for $288. The terms ia each case were one-third cash, and the balance in one and two vears. ROCK-A-BY RABY, ON THE TBATN-TOP-Ou Wednesday, as the down Colombia night ex? press train on the South Carolina Railroad was approaching Stiltou's Turnout, a signal was given for the train to stop. A lady got on, and when the train moved off a basket, neatly cov? ered with cloth, was fouud in the conductor's office. The basket waa addressed to "G. W. Clark, Mayor of Charleston." No one knew anything about it, and while it was heine ex amined, an unmistakable cry was heard. When the basket was opened ir waa found to contain a white boy baby, apparently about four days old. Tho child was sewjd up in a piece of cloth, and ba:l no clothing. It was necessary to make some provision at ouce for thc "little stranger," and, as it was thought that Mayor Clark might not be io the way of such things, the stewardess, Martha, left thc child at Branchville to be nursed. The child at last accounts was doing well, but a permanent "wet ourse" is wanted. Whoo tho city is ready to receive tho child, Martha will, it is presumed, deliver him to the May< r.
