BALTIMORE, July 6.-Judge Lowie, Chief Justice of tho Court of Appeals, has ren? dered an important decision under the civil rights bill, in thc caso of thc Common? wealth against Somers, for beating a no ?ro. It was contended by counsel that ac? cording to tho laws of Maryland, tho negro was not a competent witness against a white man.' The magistrate decided that ?aid law was null and void, had been abro? gated and superseded by the civil rights bill, and required bail; which Somers re? fused to give and was committed. Appli? cation was made to Judge Bowie for a writ of habeas corpus, which he declined to grant, giving a written opinion sustaining the magistrate. He admits there: are doubts as to the constitutionality of tin civil rights bill ou other points; yet not see? ing clearly a breach of tho Federal Constia tion on tho particular point bearing on this case, following the usage and decision of higher courts, he was bound to assume that Congress had not violated the consti? tutional obligations and passed an uncon? stitutional act. The prisoner was remand? ed to the custody of the officer. Market Reports. NEW YORK, July C- Noon.-Gold 51L Exchange, 10L Wool, 22?26. Cotton dull, at 36@38c. 7 F. M.-Cotton steady, at 36@38.

WORTH KNOWINO.-Professor Blot said, in his last lecture at Boston, ou Saturday, that flour should never be ; kept in barrels or boxes, but in cloth j bags, and this m^.de of keeping is all j that makes European flour better j that American. Horse flesh, he said, was inferior to beef, though there aro efforts being made to introduce its use into France, on account of its cheapness. BB An Imposition. I ' The New York Herald, in it? issue of Saturday, gives us the following ccpase of the way that they do up the tariff and other jobs in Congress: Tho present Congress bids fair to secure for itself the name of the great jobbing "Congress of "the nineteenth century, lt has thus far . been tv?th out parallel in bur History, and is daily growing worse instead of bet? ter. "Some Of tlic-jobs bare been ve? toed and disposed of, "but there .are plenty more that will be pushed through at all hazards. The session commenced with a gigant ic scheme to expend the, public "funds, under, fho plea of protecting the negro, but, as events have sine? shown, to enslave tho blacks und enrich a few New England parsons and sanctimonious freedmen's agents. If this scheme had been successful, 850,000,000 at least would have been absorbed, all of which would have been taken out of tho pockets of tho tux-payers. It failed, however, through the veto of the President, hut in its place Con? gress has adopted another measure extending tho Freedmen's Bureau for two years, and it is now proposed to appropriate from 7,000,000 to 12, 000,000 to cover the expense of its administration. There is another scheme to create a department of ed? ucation for the blacks, anti still an? other to apply solely to the negroes in the District of Columbia. These would absorb several millions more. This much the present Congress has proposed to expend upon tho blacks of the South and tho agents controll? ing them. Notliing short of 75,000, O00 would be absorbed in these pro? jects, sboi?d they become laws. The foregoing is only one branch of the jobs already broached or acted upon. It only includes what has been proposed for tho negro and tho Now England parsons. We presume that if the records of Congress were carefully examined, other jobs of a similar nature would be found cover? ed up where least expected. There are other jobs fully equal in impor? tance, aud, if anything, more expen? sive to the public. There is the Jay Cooke project for consolidating the debt, introduced by Senator Sher? man, which provided for the outlay of 40,000,000 in tho shape of com? missions to day Cooke and the na? tional banks. Then there is thc Montana gold and silver mining joh, which proposed to give to a few spe? culators a large tract of valuable mi? neral lands, the value of which cannot be estimated, but no doubt exceeds $25.000,000. Then wo have the pro? position in regard to tia' levees on the Mississippi, calling for sonic 20, 000,000 more. The national banks now have a bonus of 30,000,000 paid them hythe Government, in the shape of interest on bonds, as au inducement for tile parties interested to engage in banking business and inflate the currency. Instead of remedying that evil, there is au inclination in Con? gress to increase it by extending the oller o? this bonus to other parties. In addition to this, there is a pro? posed loan to Mexico of from 20,000, O00 to 30,000,000, when a treaty upon a commercial basis with the legal au? thorities of that country would ac? complish the result looked for much better than by a loan. We have here enumerated jobs which amount in thc aggregate to $240,000,000, and o? what benefit is any one of thom to the country at large? Tin y will simply increase the taxes of tho people, without any cor? responding benefit in the way of de veloping the country and increasing its prosperity. But, as if this was not sufficient, the Committee of Ways and Means now como forward with a crude hill for a protective tariff, which will take other thirty or forty millions ont of the pockets of j the people; not b> meet tho expenses i incurred by the other jobs, but to enrich a few manufacturers, capital? ists ami merchants who have large stocks of goods ou baud. Tho radi? cal journals and tIn- organs of Con? gress at once sot up the cry thats protective or prohibitory tariff is ne? cessary to the resumption of specie payments and to restore the losses of the war. In this way they hopo to delude tho people into favoring the turill' scheme, little thinking that tho whola dodge is easily seen through. A few importers manage to get a large stock of a particular quality of goods on hand, and forthwith a de? putation is sent, to Congress to in? crease flu? duties on that class ?f goods. The committee recommend the increase, and these goods aro im? mediately marked nj) in price cor? responding with thc increase o? the tarif!', without one cont of additional duties being paid to the Government. Tho io a nu fact ti reis find themselves with a largo stock of their goods on hand, with the market price gradually falling, and they also send a deputa? tion, who unite with other delega? tions in pleading for rm increase of tariff to cut ol? competition and en? able them to secure a higher price for their goods on hand. A few capi? talists in Pennsylvania, anxious to increase their profits on their iron mines, also join in the cry for a pro? hibitory tariff that will enable them to charge just what they please for tho products of their furnaces and mills. Ont of all this conies the new tarilT, which we aro told is to secure immediate specie payments and make np for tho losses <>f the war. In reality, it is like all tho other jobs of Congress- a scheme to enrich a few at the expense of the many. Thus it is that tho present Congress has be ?mmmk come one of the most corrupt and jobbing bodies that have ever assem? bled at "Washington. Monopolies and capitalists receive special favors from their hands, and any project, however unjust, that furnishes a good margin for distribution is push? ed through in hot haste. From this record, the issue must be made at the coming elections, and a Congress elected which will pay more attention to the interests of the public and less to special jobs, or ruin and repudia? tion will soon be forced upon ns. PnMic Meeting. Pursuant to notice, tho citizens of Newberry District met in the Court House, on the 2d instant, to take into consideration the condition of tho conntry. Upon motion of Maj. John P. Kiuard, the meeting was organ? ized by calling the Hon. R. Moor? man to the ohair, and requesting Y. J. Pope to act as Secretary. It was then agreed, upon motion of Maj. Henry Summer, that the chair shoulu appoint a committee of thirteen citi? zens to prepare work for the moot? ing. The following gentlemen were then appointed-Henrv Summer, G. D. Smith, Peter Hair, John F. Ki nard, Dr. John R. Gary, Joseph Caldwell, J. R. Spearman, J. E. Hel- j 1er, Josiah Stewart, Isaac Herbert, Dr. T. P. Kennedy, Col. George 1 Chapman and Johu M. Calmes. Af ter consultation, this committee re? ported the following preamble and resolutions: I Whereas, the means and energies of our people were necessarily devoted to the support of the war which has j just closed, and during its conti- j nuance, this fact, together with tho i existence of a depreciated currency, j which was the only circulating me- | dium, rendered the payment of debts i impracticable; and, whereas, one of | the disastrous results of the war was the entire destruction of more than two-thirds of the property of tho ! people, and the depredation of the j remainder to such an extent as to i render it almost valueless as a means i of paying debts; and, whereas, the people, after having expended their means and runde every sacrifice that ! duty required of them, to support a cause which they believed involved ? their dearest interests, had a right to | expect that legislative provisions j wo aid be made to protect them in ; the possession of their homes, until they could, in some degree, recover from the ruinous effects of the pro? tracted struggle which had left them prostrated and exhausted: and, where? as, the Legislature did provide for their protection against further ruin? ous sacrifices of property, by re-en? acting the law commonly known as the "Stay Law," which had its origin in the exigencies of the times at an early period of tho war, the wisdom and expediency of which had been approved by every succeeding Legis? lature, and by the Convention of September last, which, by an ordi? nance, continued of force said law, i and which, under tho circumstances I that surrounded us at the close of tho ! war, was not only expedient and j proper, but absolutely necessary, to i save the country from irretrievable i ruin; and, whereas, by a late decision of tho Court of Errors, of this State, the Act referred to has been declared | unconstitutional, inoperative and I vi dd. Therefore, Resolved, That while we would de- j precate a resort to violent measures for the redress of the grievances com plained of, as tho result of said deci- | sion, and cannot synipathi/.e with or 1 eonsent to any movement conten?- 1 plating such an object; still, wo eau- : not dissout from the opinion that the Court, in making a decision by which a sovereign State is denied the right to control the remedy which sin: al? fords to suitors in her own Courts, so contrary to the generally received doctrine and opinion, not only of the most emineut Judges of this State, but also of some of tho most distin- j guished Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, acted, not only ! most unwisely, but with unnecessary haste; and that thereby the great in- \ terests of tho people and prosperity | of the State will bc most ruinously affected, unless soma measure of re? lief shall bo speedily afforded. Resolved. That we, tho people of Newberry District, in the exercise of our inalienable rights and in thc per? formance of what we conceive to be a paramount duty to ourselves, our families and our country, do most solemnly protest against a decision without precedent in this State, so at variance with the doctrines hereto foro inculcated, not only by some of the most eminent judges, but also by tlie Conventions and Legislatures of this State, aud at the same time so nuta gonistic to the general interests of our country, we do hereby invite the co-operation of tho people of tho other Districts of this State, in re? questing his Excellency Governor Orr to convene the Legislature at tho earliest day practicable, for tlie pu im? pose of taking into consid?ration too condition of the people, and adopting such measures as will prevent the sacrifice of the remnant of the pro? perty left them, and rescue the great interests of the country from the im? pending ruin. Resolved, That our Senator and Representatives are hereby requested to give their support to any measures that may bo devised to save tho peo pie from tho burden cf accumulated costs of suits, and prevent, the sacri? fice of property under process of thc courts. jAResolved, That in recommendin the course above indicated, we do not sanction any measure of repudiation or principle absolving debtors from the moral obligation to comply with their contracts, as far as they may l>c able and as early as practicable. Hut in making this declaration, we, at the same time, condemn, in the strongest terms, the conduct of those creditors who, in the present condition of things, for purposes of speculation or gain, or from motives of avarice, would oppress and harrasS their debt? ors by suits at law, or by the enforce? ment of executions already obtained. Resolved, That in the event tho Legislature, after being convened, shall arrive at the conclusion that they do not possess tho power to pro? vide relief for tho people nnd coun? try, it will then become their bounden duty, as guardians of the public in? terests, to pr?vido for a convention of the people of this State, to meet at the earliest day possible. Resolved, That the foregoing pre? amble and resolutions be published in tho Newberry Herald, Columbia Phamix and the Charleston Conner, and that a copy of the same bo forth? with transmitted by the Secretary of the meeting to his Excellency Gover? nor James L. Orr. After a lengthy and free discussion, the preamble and resolutions were unanimously agreed to. There being no farther business, tho meeting, upon motion, was de i dared adjourned. Ti. MOORMAN.

Tt exceeds the quantity imported from Tndia by almost 100 percent., and almost exactly equals the total from all tlw> other localities. Tt is equivalent to 500,720 bales of 400 pounds each. The report says: "500,OOO bales in four months and $70,000,000 are respectable figures iu the trade with one foreign nation, even for the palmiest days of cotton-shipping from tho ports of the United States." Tho report also shows that Great Britain hays, this season, ten times as much wheat from Russia .... from ns, and from Franco nearly six times as much.

Forney makes the vilest charges against the President, and indulges in a tirade of such lan? guage as would insure the suppres? sion of any Democratic paper were it to address such to General Grantor oven some of the President's less ex? alted subordinates. As thc President is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, and General Grant's supe? rior, the General will, of course, make haste to take charge of Forney's office, and prevent the appearance of any more such treasonable articles.
