BALTIMORE, July 6.-Judge Lowie, Chief

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gated and superseded by the civil rights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.

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.

COTTON EXPORTS.-Thc Juno re?
port of the Agricultural Department
gives u comparison between the
amount of raw cotton imported from
the United States into Grout Britain,
during four months of last year and
thc four corresponding months of the
present year. 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. Only a little more than
four per cent." of her 7,000,000 of
