THE SHOOTING SCRAPE ON THE CITADEL
. GREEN.-Sam Scott, tue colored mau who shot
a small white boy on the Citadel Green on
Thursday momios, came before, the Mayor
yesterday, and was fined $10, the pistol being
confiscated. It was clearly proved that the
shooting was accidental, but s.me suspicion
was attached to Scott's character, and he was
turned over to the detectives for examination.
OPENING EXERCISES OF THE MEDICAL COL
. LEGE.-We are gi id to announce that tho exer?
cises of the Medical College ot the State of
South Carolina will be resumed o.\ Monday
morning, the second November, at nine o'clock.
The opening lecture will be delivered by Pro?
fessor F. M. Robertson, Deiu ot the Faculty;
to be followed by Professors Chazal, Kinloch,
. Geddings and Michel. AU who feel interested
in tb? prosperity of this time-honored institu?
tion, and cm attend, cannot fail to be interest
. ed in the exercises of the occasion.
AK ATTRACTIVE GALLERY.-Those of our
readers who have a taste for the noe arts can
enjoy a rare treat by visiting the beautiful col?
lection of chromos just opened aud on exhibi?
tion at Quiruby & C<\'s photograph gallery, in
King-street, opposite Hasel. Here we have a
great and pleasing variety of groups and
landscapes by the first artists of our own and
. other lands reproduced with absolute fidelity,
net only of outline, but of touch und tint. The
; pictures certainly surpass any collection of the
kind ever seen in Charleston.
THE MINSTRELS.-Ethiopia stretched out
her hand last night, and notwithstanding the
. attractions presented by the circus the thea?
tre was not neglected. This is the season for
amusements, and lhere are few persons who
are not willing to spare some of their cudi for
enjoyment. The minstrels were peculiarly
happy last night, and were greeted with rounds
of applause. The comic songs aud witty say?
ings were excellent, and the burlesques capi?
tal hits. The term of engagement closes to?
night, and this last opportunity should he em?
braced by all who desire to see a firstrate
jjerforniancd and enjoy a hearty laugh.
MEETING OF CITIZENS OF ?"ABD 2.-At half
past six o'clock last evening, about twenty citi- j
. zoos of Ward 2 assembled in ono of the small
rooms of the Hibernian Hall. On motion of C.
. C. Trumbo, Esq., the meeting was called to or?
der, and Mr. Seth Spencer requested to take
the chair, and Mr. Walter Webb to a' t as sec
. retary. On motion of Mr. C. C. Trumbo, the
- chair appointed tho following committee of five
as delegates to the Nominating Convention, to
assemble at Masonic Hall, viz: Messrs. C. C.
Trumbo, ii. T. Axon, D. Boinest, Walter Webb
. and John Doyle. On motion of Mr. C. C.
.**Trumbo, the meeting then adjourned.^
T A NUISANCE.-There arc certain street cor?
ners, noted lounging places, that are always
- crowded with men and boys, who indulge in
loud and boisterous talk, much to the disgust of
persons who ar% compelled to pass in that di?
rection. The northeast corner of King and
Wentworth streets is one of these popular re?
sorts, and eveiy afternoon is occupied by a
number of persons who obstruct the sidewalk,
and are by no means choice in their language.
- One of the duties of the police is to keep the
pavements clear, and a httle attention to this
matter would be a great accommodation to the
public. _
THE Cut CUB.-Tho mammoth canvass of
- John Bobin son's great circus was again filled
to its utmost capacity last night by a laughing
audience. None can go to this circus and keep
a smooth countenance, for (he laughter will
' burst out, and the applause is genuine and un?
affected. The feats of agility, the vaulting,
leaping and dancing,' cannot be excelled. Tho
riding is perhaps one of the bett features, and
the equestrians of both sexes aro thoroughly at
home on horso back. Some cf the performers
are quite joung, but are all fearless riders.
The riding is, however, not the only attraction,
as the programmo is varied. The Ku-Klux
K'.anis ono of the richest and most amusiug
farces that has ever appeared on sawdust
The menagerie comprises a number of rare
- birds and beasts, aud is well worth a visit. Re?
member this afternoon and to-night the last
opportunities will be afforded to the citizens
of Charleston to see this unrivalled exhibition.
THE BRITISH STEAM LIKE.-At an early hour
yesterday our citizens were gratified by the ar?
rival of the British steamship Golden Horn,
Captain H. C. McBeth, from Hartlepool, on the
northeast coast of England, which port she
left on the 8th of October. She came down
the cast coast of England, through the En?
glish chanuel, and straight across the Atlantic,
.passing a lit: ?o to the north of Bermuda. This
ship-is tho pioneer of the Une io Liveipool, is
a first-class sca-going steamer, built at Hartle?
pool in 18G5, measures ono thousand one hun?
dred and eighty-eight tons, has two decks, is
brig rigged, cliptical stern, two hundred aud
thirty feot in length, thirty-one feet beam,
twenty-three feet held, and will take about
- twenty-fivo hundred bales of compressed cot?
ton. Her engines were built at Stoekton-upon
Tees, and possess all tue reliability and eub
etantial characteristics which aro* traits of En?
glish machinery. Much of her cargo has been
already engaged, and alie is rapidly filling up,
- and will leave ou tin 13th of November for
Liverpool, when she will be speedily followed
by the Bosphorns and Marmora, all first-class
British built vessels. Her agents here are
Messrs. R. Mure & Co., long and favorably
known iu the English liade, and who v al usc
every effort to ma!;e the line a s^oess. aad it
only needs thc favorable support ot the South?
ern people to have a permanent and valuable
aid to Southern trado. Th : necessity ofspeedy
and rapid communication between tho South?
ern ports and Liverpool by steam, in order to
facilitate commercial transactions and give
immigration, so much needed ia this section,
a direction this way, renders it of the highest
?consideration that a good steam line should be
ustainei fro m this port to Liverpool. ]
THE CENTRAL CLUB AND THE WAED

tiona, held last nirht at the Masonic H:
resolutions adopted by Ward 7 Club wc:

cepted by them.
THE BASK OF THE STATE.-The argnmoi
the writ of mandamus played forby thc l
noy-Geoeral on behalf of the State agains
President and Directors of the Bank o
State, was continued before Justice W
yesterday.
Colonel Thomas Y. Simons, in an able
elaborate argument, replied to the argu
of the Attorney-General. He showed that
bank was a chattered corporation, and as
responsible to its creditors, and that the
faith of the State being pledged to those c
tors in tho first place to mako them si
from the assets of the bank, and in thc sc
place to pay their claims in a certain ord
priority, it was not competent lor thc L j
turo of tie State to tro back on that arru
ment and make a different disposition ol
assets.
At the conclusion oi Colonel Simous' a
mont, Major D. T. Corbin rose ar.d cone!
the argument on the part ol th.- ?tate, ma
the following points: That mandamus
wherever there is no other legal ten:
and there being no other adequate rei:
in this case, mandamus was the appr
ate proceeding. That the mandamus
not Bought in this case to test thc val
of the law, because tho claimants acted u
the law, and it was oi ly the respondents
disputed its force. lu regard to the
8tituticnality of the act of 1869, it was nc
conflict with tho various acts passed in relo
to tho Bant of the State before thc war,
cause they only pledged the profits of
bank, and the bank no longer had profits;
though it did repeal the act of 1865, that
no violation of tho Constitution of thc Un
States, because tho act ot I860 was in no st
a contract, but simply au act ot legisla
favor, without consideration and without
ties, the very essence of a contract. In rep
to the objection that ether suits were pend
the respondents argued themselves oui
court, for, if only one court could take (
nizance of the matter, the suit was only in
State Court of Chancery, and not in Hie Uni
States Court, aud the suit in tho State Co
was put an end to by the act itself, the c
stitntionality of which had not been qaejtfi
cd in that court. Moreover, tho suit iu
United States Court was not properly a
pendeus, because no answer had b
put in, and as the bil! was against
Governor of the State, as such, the suit wo
be dismissed as soon as il was brought to
notice of the court. The act of 1865 was pro'
to be unconstitutional by thc case of Con
vs. Arkansas, because it was an attempt to p
fer the bondholders to the biilhohlcrs wh
the bank had an outstanding currency
$3.000,000. There was nothing in the act
1868 to show that thc State intended spoli?t;
or robbery; on thc contrary, they had provic
especially, in a liberal manner, for the b
holders, and the whole past financial history
the State was a guarantee that the other ere
tors were safe.
Hon. J. B. Campbell, to whom was assign
the duty of closing the argument on behalf
the respondents, spoke until the hour oft
journment, but had not time to do mach mo
than indicate the course of argument which
intended to pursue. He called the attentii
of Justice Willard to the groat and unusual ii
portance of tho case, not so much on accou
ot the large sums of money involved, but c
account of the momentous question to bc d
cided, not only for this State or country, b
for the whole commercial world, whether leg
rights could be maintained in South Carolin
by the integrity of the judiciary ugaiust tl
assumptions of power. He shov?d that, u:
der the now State Constitution and the acts
the present Legislature, an Associate Justii
of the Supreme Court at Chambers cou
only grant a mandamus according to tl
law as heretofore practiced in South C;
Ima, and that according to the law :
so practiced mandamus did not lie ui
less the claimant could show legal titi*
There was no title or pretenca of title on th
'part of the claimants in this case; they eve
acknowledged title iu the respondents. Mort
over, at the common law. tho writ of manda
mus did not lie as a remedy in matters of pro
perty, and the act of the present Legislatur?
enabling jthe Attorney-General to sue out th
writ in such cases, waa in words confining hi
power to cases where there ha l been an iutiu
sion upon the properly of the State, or a nui
sance committed thereon. The Prcsi
dent and Directors ot' the Bank ol thi
State, so far from bein? intruders upoi
tho property of tho State, or guilty o
committing a iiuisauce thereon, were ackuow
lodged to be the owners of the subject mattel
in dispute by the very act to enforce whicl
this mandamus was prayed, and nlso by thc
plaintiffs on the record. He also showed thal
by the words of the act organizing the Su?
preme Court, it rendered the decision of any one
Justice of that Court, on a matter of }iicinda
mus, liable to appeal, aud that it vas the prac?
tice in this State heretofore to make the man?
damus in the first instance alternative, either
to perform the required act, or to show cause
for not so doing, and that when tho mandamus
had been made peremptory by a. Circuit Judge,
it wa3 still liable to be sot uside by the Court of
Appeals.
Mr. Campbell will continue his argument to?
day.
