He recommends that the volunteer ser- j vices of the press, pulpit and proscenium could be brought to bear in aid of the project, and 1 offers his own services for the purpose. 1 -The New York Times, speaking of the ar- 1 rival of ex-Secretary Seward in New York, says: ] "He proposes to make a visit, before many ? days, to Aiken, South Carolina, partly for recre- ( .ation and partly to pay a visit to Mr. Weed, of . whoas rapid improvement in health he receives trery gratifying reports. Mr. Seward is unre- c served and e mphatic in expressing his approv- ' al of the Cabiuet selected by General Grant, 1 -and his predictions of tho entire succ?s.i of ' his administration." . i -A. T. Stewart must have been very loth j to give np the Treasury Department. He au .thorized the following statement to be pub? lished in the National Intelligencer ol Tuesday: 1 "Mr. Stewart will not recede if he can accom- J modato his extensive business connections so -aa to obviate the present difficulty; and in this i Tiew he has offered to make an absolute trans- ? fer and disposition of all interests and profits . wbich may be derived from carrying on his bu? siness during his official term, the transfer to be made to three eminent gentlemen as trus? tees, who shall have the absolute disposal of tho funds thus acquired for tho uso of public charity in the City of New York; the trustees to - select the charity, and to bs absoluto in the matter." -The Washington Star says : "It is a ra? ther singular circumstance that the difficulty how existing in regard to the Secretaryship of the Treasury should also have baon met in tho . .experience of the lato Confederate States Gov- I ernment. It will bc remembered that when that coucern wis set up thc United States sta? tutes at largo were adopted and put in force bodily, which, of course, included thc acts im? posing restrictions on tho office in question. In time, Hr. Trenholm. one of tho largest merchants in the South, was called to tho Treasury Department, and he Mk d tho o?ioo for some time before his ineligibdity was dis? covered. When it was pointe! out ho severed his connection with all mercantile interestsin this country, elthougb wc believe he main? tained his relations with a loreign houso." -The spring cloctions throughout tho in? terior of New Yorlc State 6ho\v a very gratify? ing incieaso ot Democratic strength. Pough? keepsie has electod a Democratic Mayor, for ?he first time in its municipal existence, by a majority of more than 200. Newburg has heretofore been strongly Republican, eh cting city officers of that stripe, and giving a ma j ority for Grant fast fall. The Democracy bas now made a clean sweep, electing tbe whole municipal ticket except ono Alderman and one Supervisor. For tho past three years tho Re? publicans have carr.ed thc City of Oswcgo.hut last week the I emocrats elected their candidate by a majority tbe largest ever received by a mayor in that city. Columbia County has made a gain securing a two-thirds majority in the Board of Supervisors. In Utica the suc? cess of the Democracy is unparalleled, and in Elmira it has carried all before it. In Saratoga, Erie, Cayuga and Ulster Counties. Jarge gains have been made, and throughout the Sta lo thc indications are moat encouraging. ComiDg so soon after the Republican success of last fall and at thc very time of tho inauguration of the new government, these returns are gravely siguiiicant of a rapid change in the prevailing popular seutimcnt, foreshadowing a speedy return of the masses to the support of the party of economy, equal rights and constitu? tional govern meat. -A curious case has been brought to thc notice of the State Depaitment, by a resolution of the illinois Legislature, which will undoubt? edly give rise to considerable diplomatic cor? respondence, at least, between this government and those of Wurtemberg and B" varia. It appears that some forty years ago a member of the royal family having left that State to marry in opposition to the royal will, a law was ouactcd declaring all marriages of the subjects of that State, when contracted abroad, to be null and void. A similar law was also enacted in Bavaria. A case has now for the first time arisen where a marriage in tho United StateB has been pronounced illegal under this law. Not long since ibo widow of a naturalized citi? zen of Illinois and a native cf Bavaria returned to tbat country to claim an inhei itance be? queathed to her husband, when she was in? formed that the government ,of Bavaria recog? nized no marriages in tho United States as valid, as far as they related to Bavarian citi? zens, and bbc was compelled to drop the Dame ot her husband aud take her maiden name, thu3 virtually declaring her children illegiti? mate. It is the duty of this government to have the obnoxious laws repealed immediately, or at least rendered inoperative as far as they relate to American citizens. -The New York Herald says Parson Brown? low presen ts the most extraordinary picture of physical debility that was ever before witness? ed in any legislative assembly. Thad. Stevens might have been considered, when brought into the Senato Chamber on men's shoulders to take bis pl?co among the managers in the memorable day* ol the impeachment trial, tho best illustration up to that time presented of the triumph of intellectual will over a shattered and prostrate bodily organism; but Brownlow's appearance shows even greater indications of physical wreck and ruin, and yet the latter lacks nothing of the same unconquerable men? tal fire and energy that marksd to his latest moments the character of the Great Common? er. When taking the oath Brownlow lay back in his chair, his head bent down, his face shrivelled, ghastly and of unearthly hue, his hands clasped in bony, vice-like grasp, and his wholo appearance indicative of great physical dcpro3sion. As Mr. Co! fax read the oath tho poor old Parson raised his feeble arm, which shook with palsy .ind dropped every moment to his side. Assistant Sergeant-at-arms Bassett went over and sus? tained his arm through the remainder of thc ceremony, thoo uh the old man mado ono or two desperate efforts by himself to sustain the right arm by propping it with his left hand. Aller he had taken tho oath the Parson stretch? ed forth his hand for a glass of water, which shook wildly before it reached his lips. The ordeal, slight as it seems, Lad completely ex? hausted him. CHARLESTON". THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH ll, 1809. What Wc May Expect. Wendell Phillips is an orthodox Radical, one whose Radicalism is beyond all re? proach. Upon all the great questions which have agitated the country during the past ten years, he has, in the beginniog, been far in advanoe of the extremest men nf his party. But hitherto the party have worked up steadily until they reach d the plane upon which he stood, making it nec? essary for him to propound another doc? trine, more thorough and more bitter than that which went before. Higher nod still sigher he has soared, making his latest po? etical pronunciamiento, in a lecture deliv ?red in Jersey City on Saturday lsst. The lootrine then published may soon be press id upon Congress with all the force of rhetoric and invective, as necessary to the salvation of the country. In his lecture Wendell Phillips said that iie was perfectly satisfied with the state? ment made by President Grant, in his in? augural address, that he would carry out the will of the people. "All hail"-said ie-"to the chief who will carry out the 'people's will." And what is the will of he people ? As explained by Mr. Phillips, t is to fire upon the Southern people with .annon, to hew them down with the sabre, o gibbet and burn and destroy. Mr. Phil? ips says that a Ben Butler is wanted 'large enough to cover thirteen States;" ind, we presume, with an arm long enough to reach out and buffet our old men and Dur women, and a carpet bag big enough to contain all our precious metals and jewels of great price. In.the name of the people, Mr. Phillips calls upon Grant to play the role of Crom? well, and make the name of Union man as terrible to the South as thc Lord Protector made the name of Englishman terrible to his enemies. The cannon ''now lying idle "in Washington" are to be turned upon us. Scaffolds are to be erected ns high as that on which Haman hung. And all this by the obedient Graut, thc mau from whom some weuk minds have expected magnanim? ity, independence and sense. All this rav? aging, and slaving, and polluting, is to be the work of Grant; for he has pr uised that he will carry out the will of the peo? ple, and will "vigorously execute every law "that Congress puts ia his hands." And. says Mr. Phillips, "Congress should cover "the South with ctiunou, bauners und tcaf "folds, tiil full security of person and prop "erty ls enjoyed, und till it eau be Faid "with truth 'we will have peace We do not fear that the merciful sugges? tions of Mr. Phillips will bc adopted by the people of the North, whatever may he their welcome at th j hands of the ultra Radicals. Nor do wc fear that this burning and de? molishing cnn bc accomplished. Wc arc able to take curv of ourselves, and will take care of ourselves, even in thc face of the great guns and big swords which it is now proposed to usc. All thc Philips who ever lived, from Philip of Mic-'don down, can? not daunt us now. We kaow that there is peace in the South, and that life and prop? erty are as secure here as iu tho heart of Mtssachusctts. This, however, we do not expect to bc believed by the Radie ils, as long as they can grow rich aud their party retain power by garbling and denying the truth. What wc now desire is to impress upon our people the fact that the most extreme of the extreme Radicals is satisfied with Gran', and has implicit faith that he will blindly obey every decree of Congress; also, to reiterate our belief that we have no more to expect from Grant than we should have had from Wade, Sumner or Stevens. Gold or Paper. j The decision of ihe Supreme Court of the United Statea iu thc case cf Butler against Horwiiz, a suit for ground rent in Balti? more, upon a contract made in 1791 for the annual payment of "English golden guin "eat>" of a specified weight, is still more explicit in affirming thc binding force of special contracts for coin, whether inadc before or after thc Legal Tender acts were passed, than the decision given in the case of Bronson against Rodes two weeks ago. The opinion in (bis case of Butler against Horwitz, an extract from which was pub? lished in THE NEWS of yesterday, was given by Chief Justice Chase and assented to by the whole Court except Justice Miller, and clearly establishes the principle that when a contract is made for either gold or paper the courts must enforce it in kind; wh le a contract for money, not specifying cither, may be satisfied in any legal lender money, at the option of the debtor. Thc Court said : ' This inference as to contracts made prior to the passage of tho acts makin g United States notes legal tender is strengthened by the con? sideration that those acts not only do not pro? hibit, but by strong implication sanction con? tracts since their passage for the payment or delivery of coin; and consequently, taken in connection with the provision of the act of 1792, concerning money of account, require the damages upon such contracts to be asses? sed in coin and judgment rendered accord? ingly; leaving tho assessment of damages for breach of other contracts to be made and judgment rendered in lawful monoy. It would bo unreasonable to suppose that tho legisla? ture intended a different rule, as to contracts prior to the enactment of the currency laws, from that sanctioned by them in respect to con? tracts since." So that the court sustains special con? tracts for coin made before the passage of the Legal Tender acts, expressly on the ground that these acts themselves, properly construed, make such contracts legal after their passage, and that Congress cannot have meant to apply a different rule to con? tracts previously made. These decisions remove all difficulties from the way of those who desire to make con? tracts which shall not be subject to thc fluc? tuations of an uncertain currency, and they, may now act with entire confidence. There is no legal limitation whatever upon thc right of the people to use the coined gold and silver of the United States both as a circulating medium and as money of ac? count. This will enable the Southern pub? lic, if they BO desire, to bring all transac? tions down to a gold basis, and to resume practically a specie circulation. THE WINTER has been mild, and yet the Pacific Railroad is so blocked up by snow that the trains cannot run, nnd, according to the telegrams from San Francisco, "have not been running from Wasacht to the western terminus of the Union Pacific since February 12 " This is a proof that the Union Pacifio Railroad, however useful it may be, oannot on account of its position meet tno -equirements of (rade or give us open communication by rail with the Paci? fic for more than nine months of the year. Every ton of snow which falls upon the present line is an additional argument in favor of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which ought to be built, ?nd will be built if the South has any influence, even of the "you tickle me and I'll tickle you" kind, upon Congressional legislation. GRANT has blundered : tint, in nomina nating as Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Stewart, who was ineligible; second, ia sup? posing that Congress would instantaneously repeal a good law because the President wished il; third, in taking it all back in a sulk because he could not have his way. This is a good beginning, surely ! WE FEINT this morning a lucid and inter? esting opinion of his Honor Judge Bryan, of the United States District Court, touch? ing thc construction of certain sections of the Bankrupt act, as applied to the case of Abner Hambright, bankrupt. It will be seen that the decision of Registrar Claw son in the matter is overruled. Botircs in pnn&rnptrn.
