CIRCUIT COURT -Cil IRV JUSTICE S. P. CHASE, PRESIDING. The court oponed at ten o'clock Saturday morning, Chief Justice Chase and Judge Bryan on tho hench. " The jury roll vf as called and tho petit and pleas jurors answered to their namoe. In tho cases of Charles Richardson and John Peter Richardson, executors of John P. Rich? ardson, deceased, vs. J. Motto Allston and Eli? za A. Manning vs. J. Motto Allston and John L. Manning, on motion of W. D. Porter, and with consent of all parties, it was ordered that if, upon tho trial of tho cases at law, the de? fendants obtain a verdict against the complain? ants iu these cases upon any of tho picas in bar, they shall havo leave to enter up judg? ment thereon, subject to the plea of plene ad ministravit; and that the issues under said plea be referred to Martin L. Wilkins, as spe? cial referee, to act as master in chancery, to tako tho account of the said executors accord? ing to thc principles of tirs court under said plea of plene administrad!, in which account the executors shall not be charged with the value of any negroes, whether in the invento? ry or not,4?ho havo 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 tho United States, or other unavoidable casualty, and that the said referee may report to the court evoi y fact deemed important by either party. Chief Justice Chase then delivered the fol? lowing opinion of the court : OinCUIT COOET OF THE UNITED STATES - DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA - CAROLINE A. JOHNSON AND JOHN A. JOHNSON, TRUSTEES, VS. JOHN niCHABDSON, ADHINISTEATOB OF M A li Y BICHABDSON. Tho only question raised by the plea iu this caso is one of jurisdiction. The object of the billia to obtain against the tho d?tendant, as administrator of Mary Richardson, deceased, a decree in favor of 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 a sum of money due from tho 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 the capacity of administrator, and thc plea sets up the fact that the defendant is adminis? trator under the grant of one of the States, and bound by the law of the State to account os such for his administration of the estate of the deceased, in the courts of the State, as a bar to the prosecution of any suit against bim m the courts of the United States. Thero 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 spored the labor of examining the question upon principle, by the authority of a very recent decision of the Supremo Court of the United States. In the case of Payne vs. Hook, not yet re Eorted, Ann Payne, a citizen of Virginia, rought her suit m equity in the Circuit Court for the District of Missouri, against Zxddock 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 tbe bill, and was sustained by the Circuit Court, and the bill was dismissed. The caa o was taken by appeal to the Supreme Court. It will be seen from this statement that the very question now before us was then brought before the Supreme Court. The court upon full argument held that the suit was properly brought, and reversed the decree of the Cir? cuit Court. This authority is decisive, and the plea must be ovei ruled. Mr. J. J. Pope, solicitor for complainant, made the following motion, whioh was granted: The plea filed in the above case by the de dendout, 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 term. Alexander McLeod vs. T. C. Calicott. J. B. Campbell, Esq., appeared for plaintiff; D. T. Corbin, United States District Attorney, for de? fendant. This was o case for trial by the jury, and an action of trover for the recovery of thirty-nine boles of cotton, alleged by oounsel for plaintiff to have been wrongfully taken from the posses? sion of Dr. A. McLeod, of Marlboro* District.by Mr. T. C. Calicott, 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 Provost 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 ot the de? pot of the Northeastern Railroad Company, notwithstanding the factor (Mr. L. D. Mowry) went to him, represented the circumstances of the caso, and asked its release to him, offering to give security, to be approved by Mr. Cali? cott, if he or the Government of the United States or ony one represented by them should esta blish any just claim to it. Mr. Calicott re? tained the cotton, and on application was mode to the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, and npon a statement of the foots he ordered its discharge. Counsel for plaintiff advised their client at the time not to comply with the conditions required by the Secretary of the Treasury requiring him (Dr. McLeod) to state there was probable cause for the seizure of his cotton, ond Mr. Calicott re? quired, in addition to that, a bond to indem? nify himself against damages, &c. On the part of the defendant, testimony was introdnoed to show that Mr. Calicott was spe? cial supervising agent of the Treasury Depart? ment and received this cotton nader the pro? visions of the sot of Congress 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 direotion 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 was not Dr. McLeod's; that a large portion of it was sold lo the Confederate States Government in 1863; that he had no right to retain it; that he had it repacked and remarked and forwarded to Charleston. Counsel introduoed a certified official report of Mr. Calicott to the department at Washing? ton on the subject, which report was required to bo made under the aot, and that Mr. Cali? cott noted in good faith aud nuder strict in? structions of the Treasury Deportment: also that the Provost Court had no jurisdiction over this ootton. ?he hearing of the testimouy occupied the attention of the court np to three o'clock, when the further hearing of the case was postponed to ten o'clock this morning.

Hia Honor Judgo Carpenter has Riven tho following decision on the question of the valid? ity of bonds given in paymout of tho purchase of slaves : JULIET O. ELLIOTT VS. WM. HENRY TB ES COT AND WILLIAM V/HAI,I.V. This was an action of debt on bond, givon by defendants to plaintiff on tba-day of-, A. D. 1857, in tho penal sum of twonty-oight thousand and eighty ($28,080) dollars. The defendants pleaded seven pleas. The first was the general issue of non est factum, and the last pleaded payment. Sonic of the other pleas set up aa a defence-th ut tho bond was se? cured by a mortgage of slaves, whereby the slaves had been conveyed to the plaintiff by the defendant Trescot, with a defeasance in caso of payment. That the defendant had failed to pty accord? ing to the condition of tho bond. That there? upon the property in tho slaves vested abso? lutely in the plaintiff anet thc bond was dis? charged. The other pleas set up the emanci? pation of the slaves by the Convention of 1865. To the first and last plea the plaintiff put in a similitur. and issue was joined thereon. To all the other pleas he made a profert of the mortgage and put in a general demurrer to each; thc defendant joined in demurrer. The pleadings and tho 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 tho case from the docket, under tho 84th Section of the lt li Article of the Constitution of this State, adopted in March, 1868, which is in these words : "SECTION 34, All contracts, whether under seal or not, tho consideration of which were for the purchase of slaves, aro hereby declared null and void and of no effect; and no suit, oithor at law or equity, shall bo commenced or prosecuted for the enforcement of such con? tracts, and all proceedings to enforce satisfac? tion or payment ou judgments or doorees ren? dered, recorded, enrolled or enterod upon such contracts, in any court of this State, aro here? by prohibited, and nil orders heretofore made in this State in relation to suoh contracts, whereby property is hold subject to decision as to tho validity of such contracts, arc also hereby declared null and void and of no ef? fect." 1 am of the opinion that this section of the Constitution of this State is in conflict with tho 10th Seotion, 1st Article of the Constitu? tion of the United States, iu that it impairs the obligation of contracts, and that it is therefore null and void. The motion is refused, After full consideration of the points raised by the demurrer, I am of the opinion that the pleas present an insufficient defence to the action on the bond, and upon these pleas order the postea to be delivered to the plaintiff. The attorneys in the cause having filed their consent in writing that the issue of fact be tried and determined by the court without th3 intervention of a jury, I determine that the de? fendant did make, execute and deliver to the plaintiff the bond set forth in tho pleadings, that no part thereof has bern 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, tbe last acion 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 waa in his _77ch year. When still quite young, he was sent to a school in England; bat after hut return in early manhood, he stndied medicine in thia city in the office of Dra. Samuel Wilson and Alexander Barron; and our own college not then being in operation, he proceeded to Phil? adelphia, where ha 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 bim through the warda. About the year 1833 he waa elected Profes? sor of Physiology in the Medical College ot thia city, whioh position he occupied and adorned till 18S6, when he resigned hia chair because of the infirmities of advancing age. He waa elected President of the American Med? ical Association, at ita meeting in thia city. Hia contributions to science were numerous; many of them published in the journals of the day. Hia principal labora, however, scion ti flo and literary, were given for the advancement of the interests of the institution, of the facul ? ty of whioh he was a distinguished member. He was deeply attached to file M?dical College of South Carolina, and never felt more at home than when leotnring to hie dosses on the mys? teries of physiology. He was many years in advance of some of tbe foremost expounders of this branch of medical science, and appear? ed to have a singularly clear intuition . in re? gard to the correlation of the sciences, and the oneness of design pervading Nature in all her ramifications. Dr. Homme was a thorough scholar; a man of more than ordinary natural endowments, and of rare cultivation. He oeaaed to study and learn, only when be oeaaed to live. We have met lew savana in thia country who were more entitled to that distinguished appellation. He walked no beaten track in bia lectures. He searched and proved everything for himself, and to thu? end shunned no labor, mastering Comparative Anatomy and Natural History, together with Mechanics, and every other acienoe thai promised, proximately or remote? ly, iv ahw? ?igne opon bia chosen branch. Several of bia friends had been for yean urg? ing him to commit bia peculiar vi?wa ou many of these subjects to paper, and at the time of bia death be waa, we believe, engaged in doing thia. Dr. Moultrie waa a finished gentleman aa well aa a finished scholar-of unblemished character, gifted with inscrutable grace of manaor and expression-beloved and honored by every one. Hie remain? were interred yes? terday afternoon at the cemetery of the Unita? rian Church, a faure? circle of friend? paying ?lie last offioea of respect in Assisting ?Abis ob i equi oe.

Dear Sir-Your note inviting me to attend the ceremony of decorating at Magnolia Ceme? tery the graves of the brave men who fell in defence of the Union during the recent oivil war, only reached me this morning. I am very sorry that I cannot he with you on this most interesting occasion; but it is now too late to make the necessary arrange? ments. The nation cannot too tenderly cherish the memory of her dead heroes, or too watchfully guard the well-being of those who survive. And may s e not indulge the hope that ere long we who adhered to the national cause will be Krompt also to join tn commemorating tbe eroism of our countrymen who fell on the other side, and that those who now specially mourn their loss, consenting to the arbitra? ment of arms, and resuming all their old love for their country and our country, one and in divisible, will join with us in like commemo? ration of the lallen b*ave ot the army of the Union? The dead are not dead. They have only gone before, and now see eye to eye. Why may not we all borrow from their sacred graves obli? vion of past differences and henceforth unite in coble and generous endeavor to assure the honor and welfare of our whole country, of all her States and of all her oitizans?
