CIRCUIT COURT-CHIEF JUSTICE S. P. CHASE, PRESIDING. The court openoi at ten o'clock Saturday moraine, Chief Justice Chase and Judgo Bryan on the bench. The jury rolt was oalled and tbe petit and pleas jurors answered to their name?. In the cases of Charles Richardson and John Peter Richardson, executors of John P. Rich? ardson, deceased, vs. J. Mot te Allston and Eli? za A. Manning vs. J. Motte Al la ton* ?jud John L. Manning, on motion of W. D. Porter, and with consent of all parties, it was ordered that I if, upon the trial of thVcases'tt law| the de fendanta^obtain a verdict against the complain? ants in these cases upon any of the pleas' in bar, they shall have leave to enter up juig rrrent thereon, subject to the plea of plene ad ministravii; and that the issues under said plea be referred to Martin L. Wilkins, as spe? cial referee, to act as master in chancery, to take the account of the said executors accord? ing to the principles of th's court under said plea of plene adminlsiraoU, in which account tho executors shall not be charged with the value of any negroes, whether in the invento? ry or not, who have not been converted into money or any other personal property which can be proved to have been taken, lost or de? stroyed by the armed forces of the United States, or other unavoidable casualty, and that the said referee may report to the court every fact deemed important by either party. Chief Justice Chase then delivered the fol? lowing opinion of the co art : CTBC?TT CO CHT OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA - OABOLINE A. JOHNSON AND JOHN A. JOHNSON, TBUSTLES, VS. JOHN RICHABD30N, AD3HNIBTBATOB OF HAUY RICHARDSON. The only question*raised by the plea in this case ie one of jurisdiction. The object of tho billia to obtain against the the defendant, as administrator of Mary Richardson, deceased, a decree in favor ot Caroline A. Johnson for her distributive share of an estate, which it is alleged has been col? lected and is held by him, and for the payment of ? sum of money due from the intestate. The defendant is a citizen of Georgia, but derives his authority as administrator irom the grant of letters of administration, by the proper court of South Carolina. The plaintiffs are citizens of South Carolina. The relief sought is against the defendant in tho capacity of administrator, and the plea sets np the fact that the defendant is adminis? trator nuder the grant of one of tbe States, and bound by the law of the State to account aa such for his administration of the estate of the deceased, in the courts of the State, as a [ bar to the prosecution of any snit against him rn the courts of the United States. There has been much controversy and no little diversity of judgment on the question thus presented both at the bar and on the bench, and the decisions are by no means har? monious. Fortunately, we are spared the labor of examining the question upon principle, by the authority of a very recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. In the case of Payne vs. Hook, .not yet re? ported, Ann Payne, a citizen of Virginia, brought her snit m equity in tho Circuit Court for the District of Missouri, against Ziddock Hook, a citizen of Missouri, and public ad? ministrator of the county of the intestate, and his sureties on his official bond, for her distri? butive share of the estate. A demurrer was was filed to the bill, and was sustained by the Circuit Court, and the bill r.as dismissed. The case was taken by appeal to the Supreme Court. It will be seen from this statement that the ?erv question now before us waa then brought before the Supreme Court. The court upon fall argument held that the suit was properly brought, and reversed the decree ot the Cir? cuit Court. Thia authority ia decisive, and the plea mont be overruled. Mr. J. J. Pope, solicitor for complainant, made the following motion, which was granted: The plea filed in the above case by the de dendant, John Richardson, administrator, having been overruled, it is ordered that the defendant do file bis answer to the above bill, on or before the rules day in July next, upon payment of the costs of this tern. Alexander McLeod vs. T. C. Calicott. J. B Campbell, Esq., appeared for plaintiff: D. I. Corbin, United States District Attorney, for de? fendant. This waa a oas? for trial by the jory, and an aotion of trover for the recovery of tbirty-nine balee of cotton, alleged by oounsel for plaintiff to have been wron g tully taken from the posses? sion of Dr. A. McLeod, of Marlboro* District,by Mr. T. 0. Cali co tt, a citizan of New York, and that the property so taken was wrongfully converted by defendant to his own use, and that without probable cause, right- or color of law. Counsel for plaintiff introduced testimony to show that Dr. McLeod raised the cotton, was subjected after the war to an onerous trial by the Pro vost Court of Marlboro'District, acquitted, and the cotton ordered to be released. That after this, Mr. Calicott, being fully advised of what had occurred, seized the cotton at the de pot of the Northeastern Railroad Company, notwithstanding the factor (Mr.. L. D. Mowry) wont to him, represented tbe circumstances of the ease, and asked its release to him, offering to gire security, to be approved by Mr. Cali? cott, if he or the Government of the United States ar toy one represented bj them should est t bush any just claim to it, Mr. Calicott re' fained the cotton, and an application was made to the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, and upon a statement of the facts he ordered its discharge. Counsel for plaintiff advised their client at the. time not to comply with the conditions required by the Secretary of tho Treasury requiring him (Dr. McLeod) to state there was probable cause for the seizure of his cotton, and Mr. Calicott re? quired, in addition to that, a bond to indem? nify himself against damages, &z. On the part of the defendant, testimony was introduced to show that Mr. Calicott waa f pe dal supervising agent of the Treasury Depart' ment and received this cotton under the pro? visions of the aot of Congi ese of the 12th of March, 1863, relative to captured and abandon? ed property; that he took it under color of that act, received it and transmitted it according to the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury to Simeon Draper, the proper special agent at New York, for sale. Testimony was introduc ed to show that the cotton waa not Dr McLeod's; that a large portion of it was sold to the Confederate States Govejnment iu 18C3; that be had no right to retain it; that be had it repacked and remarked and forwarded to Charleston. Counsel introduced a certified official report of Mr. Calicott to tho department at Washing? ton on the subject, which report was required to be made under the act, and that Mi-. Cult cott acted in good faith and uuder strict in? structions of the Treasury Department; also that the Provost Court had no jurisdiction over this ootton. rihe hearing of the testimony occupied tbe attention of the court up to three o'clock, when the further hearing of the case was postponed to ten o'clock this morning.

His Honor Judge Carpenter has given tho following decision on the qncstion of the valid? ity of bonds given in.payment of the purchase of slaves : JULIET O. ELLIOTT V3. WM. HENEY TBESCOT AND j m WILLIAM W KA LEY. This wes gn aotion of debt on bond, given by defendantsto plaintiff on taft?-day of-, A. D. 1857, in Ibo penal sum of twenty-eight L thousand* and "eighty ($28 080) dollars. The d?fendants pleaded seven pleas. The first was the general issue of non cst factum, and the last pleaded paymeot. Some of the other pjcas set up as a defence that the bond was se? cured by a mortgage of slaves, whereby the slaves bad been conveyed to the plaintiff by the defendant Tresoot, with a defeasance in case of payment. That the defendant had failed to pey accord? ing to the condition of the bond. That there? upon the property in the slaves vested abso? lutely in the plaintiff and the bond was dis? charged. The other pleas set up the emanci? pation of the slaves by the Convention of 1865. To thc first and last plea tho plaintiff put in a similitur. and issue was joined thereon. To all the other pleas be made a profert of the mortgage and put in a general- demurrer to each; the defendant joined in demurrer. The pleadings and the statements at the bar ad? mitted that the consideration of the bonds sued on was the purchase of slaves. A preliminary motion was made to strike the case from tho docket, under the 34th Section or the 4tb Article of tbe Constitution of this State, adopted in March, 1868, which is in these words : "SECTTOV 34. All contracts, whether under seal or not, the consideration of which were for the purchase of slaves, are hereby declared null aud void and of no effect; and no suit, cither at law or equity, shall be commenced or prosecuted, for the enforcement of such con? tracts, and all proceedings to enforce satisfac? tion or payment on judgments or decrees ren? dered, recorded, enrolled or entered upon snob contracts, in any court of this State, are here? by prohibited, and nil orders heretofore made in this State in relation to such contracts, whereby property is held subject to decision as to the validity of such contracts, are also hereby declared null and void and of no ef? fect." 1 nm of the opinion that this section of the Constitution of this State is in conflict with the 10th Section, 1st Article of tho Constitu? tion of tbe United S:afes, in that it impairs the obligation of contracts, and that it is therefore null and void. The motion is refus;-J, After full consideration of the points raised by the demurrer, I am of the opinion that the pleas prosent an insufficient defence to the action on the bond, and upon these pleas order the postea to be delivered to tbe pl ?ntiff. The attorneys in the cause having filed their consent in writing that the issue of fact be tried and determined by the court without th 3 intervention of a jury, I determine that the de? fendant did make, execute and deliver to the plaintiff the bond set forth in the pleadings, that no part thereof has been paid, and that upon the first and last pleas the plaintiff is en? titled to enter judgment on the penalty of the said bond. And it is so ordered. R. B.

JAKES MOULTRIE_Dr. James Moultrie, the last scion of an illustrious race, breathed his last on Saturday morning, the 29th instant. He was the son of Dr. Alexander Moultrie, and grandson of General Moultrie, of Revolu? tionary renown. He was bora in Charleston, and at the time of his death was in bis 77th year. When still quite young, he was sent to a school in England; bat after his return in early manhood, he studied medicine in this oity in the office of Drs. Samuel Wilson and Alexander Btrroo; and our own college not then being in operation, he proceeded to Phil? adelphia, where he graduated. He returned to Charleston, and here practiced his profes? sion with the most flattering success. For many years he was physician to the Marine Hospital, and availed himself of that opportu? nity to give clinical lectures to the many stu? dents who followed him through the wards. About the year 1833 he was elected Profes? sor of Physiology in the Medical College ot this city, which position he occupied and adorned till 1836, when he resigned his chair because of the infirmities of advancing age. He was elected President of the American Med? ical Assooiat;on, at its meeting in this city. His contributions to science were numerous; many of them published in the journals of the day. His principal labors, however, scientific and literary, wore given for the advancement of tho interests of the institution, of the facul? ty of which he wai a distinguished member. He was do.-ply attached to the Medical College of South Carolina, and never felt more at boma than when lecluring to lita classes on tho niys ti-ries ot physiology. He was many years in advance of rome ot the foremost expounders of this branch of m.'dical science, and appear? ed to have a singularly cloar intuition in re? gard to the correlation of the sciences, and the oneness of dosiga pervading Nature in all ber ramifications. Dr. Moultno was a thorough scholar; a man of more than ordinary natural endowments, and ot rare cultivation. He ceased to study and learn, only when be ceased to live. We have met few savais in this country wbo were more entitled to that distinguished appellation. He walked no beaten track in his lectures. He searched and proved everything for himself, and to this end shunned no labor, mastering Comparative Anatomy and Natural History, together with Mechanics, and every other science that promised, proximately or remote? ly, to shed light upon his chosen branch. Several of his friends had been for years urg? ing him to commit his peculiar views on many of these subjects to paper, and at the time of bis death be was, we believe, engaged in doing this. Dr. Moultrie was a finished gentleman as Y?eli as a finished scholar-of unblemished character, gifted with inscrutable grace of manner and expression-beloved and honored by every one. His remains were interred yes? terday afternoon at the cemetery of the Unita? rian Church, a large circle of friends paying the last offices of respect in assisting at bis ob? sequios.

The dead aro not dead. They have only gone bet?re, and now see eye to eye. Woy may not we all borrow from their sacred gravea obli? vion of past differences and henceforth unite in roblo aud generous endeavor to assure tho honor aud welfare ot our whole country, of all her States and ot all hor citizens?
