COLUMBIA, S. C. Wedn slay Morning, August 25, 1869. Colu?lbU-Ita AdVUiiUgci. We desire to present to tho country, North as well as South, some of the many advantages that Columbia presents as a placo suitable for trade and desirable for residence. The capital of South Caro? lina wants to enlarge ita borders and to increase ita numbers. Few cities pre? sent better advantages and opportunities for trade. Ito railroad facilities aro con? siderable, and gradually, well cultivated farms are sprigging up in the immediate vioiuity, whilst the Buburba are now adorned wi th pet patches of cotton, which extends ito empire eren into the interior of tho city. Here, too, we hare in the canal, which wo expect Mr. Spragne to improve, unfailing and abundant water power. Indeed, there ie no reason why Colombia should not be au extensivo place of manufactures. Hero can bo readily obtuined all the ne* cessary elements. This is a central situa? tion, and by means of the several rail? roads centreing here, there is the oppor? tunity of sending manufactured products to Northern or Southern markets. Here, then, is the place for capital to seek in? vestment, and the citizens care very little where incomes from, provided it brings with it some boTiaflde settlers to livo amongst ns and sh aro our future; and we are glad to add, that Columbia is rapidly improving. Since her Shermanization, our city baa taken a new lease of life. Handsome stores adorn Hain street, and neat and tasteful residences are spring? ing np in the burnt district. Work-shops, mills, iron foundries, bridges, depots, hotels, banks, printing offices, schools, churches, Sec., have been built up in our midst, and the good work of improve? ment ia still going on; and soon will Co? lumbia have many of the appointments that belong to a fully-endowed city. Nor is Columbia less desirable as a placo of residence. Thereto no healthier place S?utb; than this city-in this respect scarcely leas attractive than Aiken, now so popular at the North. Like Aiken, it has a dry climate. The city is unusually well drained, and there is nothing cf a special character to induce disease. Ita walks and drives make it agreeable to the pleasure-seeker, and, in fine, few places can be found more calculated to tempt the sojourner to pause, lest going further be might faro worse. On behalf, then, of Columbia and her citizens, we send these presento greeting to the coun? try, and invite accessions to our capital and numbers. Tile Political Situation. Since the last Presidential election, when party lines were strictly drawn, and almost every voter placed himself squarely in the ranks either of the De? mocratic or radical party, a marked change has taken place in thc political situation. And we are pleased to find it a change for tho better. Whilst the De? mocratic party has remained intact, quietly resting upon its arms, a division has arisen in the Republican ranks. They are now Republicans conservative and Republicans radical: In the Union at large, Wendell Phillips may be re? garded as the type of tho latter class, and Horace Greeley-getting wiser as ho grows older-of the former. In South Carolina, Senator Sawyer represents the conservativo Republican, and Dr. Mackey the radical. ? lu Virginia .and Tennessee, the Demo? crats, uniting with the conservative Re? publicans, adopted a plausible policy, and won a great political victory. It re? mains, however, to be seen if they are allowed to enjoy its fruits. The indications thus given are sug? gestive of the possibility of better days, and of a wiser policy than that which has governed the country these four dreary years just passed. The day of political disfranchisement and of odious test oaths seems to be passing off, and as the fierce rage of the Northern radi? cals dies away, there is a ohanoe for the South-oppressed and outraged as no Christian people ever were before-to have a fairer field for the onjoyment of her rights, and the development of her industries. The Republican party has purged itself, in its conservative role, of much that was offensive, unjust and un? wise; but it will havo to divest itself of very many moro objectionable features before it can at all commend itself to tho toleration of the intelligent people of the South. In thc meantime, let us hope that there will arise a disposition among tho good mon of nil parties to unite in tho effort to resist the national tendency to unity and empire, to rebuke the spirit of political intriguo and cor? ruption, and to make tho country groat ns well in moral grandeur as in material prosperity. ?-???? Sleight-of-haud-Declining a matri? monial offer. in some remark? which we wade upon political organization in South Carolina, wo threw ont the suggestion that at thia, time, with tho general elections in this S tato not to come off for a yea? and more, it would not _he wile to abandon oar. present alliance with the Democratic party ol the country, and take np such ? policy aa that proposed in the Winns boro News, whioh is to imitate Virginia and Tennessee. And further, in refer? ence to tho suggestion of our friend o' the. Edgofield Advertiser, that. wo pro? ceed forthwith,,to form Democratic clubs ?nd take the B?ld as a political organiza? tion, we answered in effect that it was premature to adopt these active measures, our reason for that caution being that there was no practical fight to bo now made, the energies and spirit of the party would be dissipated before the time for action at the ballot-box should arrive. These remarks, which discreet people generally will no doubt appreciate, we find wholly misconstrued by the Winns boro News. If the Neios, however, shall continuo to read our articles, and can norn rn and a sufficiently ir mpassioned state of feeling, it will no doubt change its present views of our spirit and policy. Et will find that policy no undecided or doubtful one, and we hope too that we sholl show ourselves ready to lead when? ever we think an onward movement to be demanded by the diotates of a wiso generalship. As for the sneers and taunts whioh the News indulges in, we bavo neither taste nor time for reply. Believing with an English divine that a good temper is worth 500 pounds a year, wo hope not to loso onrs, and at all times to have a regard for the amenities of an elavated journalism. Important Decision by the Supreme Court. James TJ. Adams vs. John Kleckley-In Supreme Court, April Term, 1869. OPINION-MOSES, C, J. The judgment we are about to pro? nounce in this case is not to bo regarded as affecting tho decision made in Pad? gett and Corley ads. Meotze, at tho pre? sent Term. As there ruled, it is in the discretion of the Circuit Judge, for rea? sons satisfactory to him, to nominate any fit and proper person os the agent of the Court, to make a salo ordered by it. Without, however, some cause sufficient in his view to induce a different course, it is moro consistent and conformable with the regular routine of tho business of the Court, to order tho conduct of its sales hy its own officer. Tho question uow before us is whether the Clerk or thc Sheriff is the proper officer to make sales directed by the Circuit Court. We meet the proposition as n general one, not confiuiDg our inquiry only to a salo of land decreed under a foreclosure of mortgage. By tho Constitution of 18G8, (Section 16, Articlo 1, page 15.) the Court of Common Pleas was invested with jurisdiction in all matters of equity, but the Courts heretofore established for that purpose were to continue as then organized, until the 1st day of January, 18G9, for the disposition of causes there? in pending, unless otherwise provided by law. By Section 1st, of the Rame article, the judicial power of the State was vested in a Supremo Court and in two Circuit Courts, to wit: a Court of Common Pleas, with civil jurisdiction, and a Court of General Sessions, with criminal jurisdiction only. The 27th Section of the same Article provides for the election of a Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, and the 30th, for that of a Sheriff of each County. The Act of 20th August, l8fi8, (Sec. 6, page 10.) en? titled "an Act to organize tho Circuit Courts," transfers all pending "suits in Equity to the Courts of Common Pleas, in aud for their respective counties, to bo entered on the dockets of tho said Courts, abd to be heard aud determined as-if^rigipolly brought there," with a proviso, ""th?t all causes pending as aforesaid, cognizable under the Constitu? tion in the Courts of Probate shall'ho transferred to the said Courts." We bavo thus comprised hil that the Consti? tution and the Acts ein ce adopted con? tain hearing on the point before us. Commissioners of the Court of Equity were first appointed for the several Dis? tricts by the Act of 1701, (Statutes at Largo 7, 258,) "to establish a Court of Equity for the State," with certain enu? merated duties, followed by a general power, "to db and perform all other mat? ters ?ud things which are usually "done either by the Master or Register of said Court, previons to the bearing of any cause." The same Act, as well as that of 1830, (Statutes at Large ll, 110,) di? rected that they were to make all sales under the deoree or order of the said Court. This last Act required of them the performance of all service? provided by law in relation to Registers in Equity. Their powers were enlarged from time to time, and judicial authority was added to their ministerial functions. No provision ha* been made by the Constitution, or the laws since enacted, in regard to sales ordered hy the Circuit Court of Common Pleas in its exorcise of equity jurisdiction. The Clerk and the Sheriff are both officers of tho said Court, and to determine upon which of these dovolves the right and duty to make its sales, wo must be governed by tho ex? isting statutes in reference to these of? ficers, and the analogy whioh may exist be? tween tho powers respectively conferred upon them. Tho sale under an order of a Circuit Judge made in a matter of equity jurisdiction, is not by tho direc? tion of a Courtof Equity, but by that of a Court of Common Pleas. When the Judge below, therefore, says "that a Sheriff hos never been employed to mako judicial Bales for a Court of Equity," he overlooks the fact "that the Courts heretofore es? tablished" for the. administration of equity no longer exist; and their Juris? diction htm been transferred to the Court of Common Fleas. Upon this transfer followed tho catiro abolition of. all the offres and machinery inoidont and at? tached to them, except BO far as retained ^byGthe existing law. We ara unpre? pared to oonour with tho Judgoin affirm? ing "that the ministerial duties of the Commissioner have been wholly assigned to the Clerk of the Court bf Common Fleas, who is also Clerk of the Court of Equity." Where or bow has such as? signment been made? It is not., to be questioned that the duties which former? ly" portai ued to the Register are to be performed by the Clerk of the Court, for they are necessarily incident to his office, and follow, from the very consti? tution of it; but the ministerial duties of tho Commissioner have not by direct enactment been transferred to him, nor are they required for thc full and proper discharge of his office as Clerk of the Common Fleas. The offico of Commis? sioner being abolished, and the offices of Clerk and Sheriff retained, we are led to an examination of the statutes, as they stand in regard to theso, so as to con? clude which by right is entitled to make sales ordered by the Cirouit Court. The Sheriff is the executive officer of tho Court. From tho earliest legislation, all sales ordered by the Court of Law were made by him. The Act of 1839, (Statutes at Large, 11, 28, ) to go no farther back, requires "the Sheriff to serve, exe? cute and return every process, rule, or? der or notice issued by any Court of Record in tho State, or by other compe? tent authority." Tho samo Act (p. 27) requires him "to koop a sale book, in whioh ho shall enter all sales which he may mako under any order, deoree, exe? cution or final process of any Court of this State." Is any such obligation im? posed on the Clerk? May it not admit of doubt when he makes a sale, under tho order of the Court, that it is virlute offi.ciit and in tho event of a liability for noglect or malfeasance, a resort for in? demnity would bo had to his official bond? In tho determination of tho question, some forco may bo derived from the practico and procedure before the new Constitution was adopted, in cases where the Court of Law exercised the funotions of tho Court of Equity. Partition and foreclosure of mortgage aro properly of equity jurisdiction. By the Act of 1701, (Statutes at Large, 5, 163,) parties entitled to a distributive share of any estate, real or personal, may apply to tho Court of Lajy for a writ of partitiou. If a salo becomes necessary, tho Sheriff (and not tho Clerk) has been the officer to make it. Hero is tho exer? cise by the Court of law of equity juris? diction.-Smitli vs. Smith, 1 Bailey, 70. By another Act, passed in tho same year, the Court of Law could in certain coses order the foreclosure of a mort gago of real estate; and when, under proceedings therefor, a salo has been di? rected, tho Sheriff has always been the officer charged with the duty. *It would not comport with tho symmetry which should prevail iu tho forms and practico of the samo Court, that on an applica? tion, under tho said Act of 1791, a salo should be required to be made by the Sheriff, and at the very next moment, on a bill for foreclosure, it should bo ro quired to be made by tho Clerk. The whole purview of the Constitution seems to look to the adoption of the same forms of practico in the adminis? tration of law arid equity by thb Circuit Courts, for the fifth Article directs, "that justice may be administered in a uniform mode of pleadings, without distinction betweon law and equity, they, the Gene? ral Assembly, shall provide for abolish? ing the distinct forms of action, and for that purpose," ?fcc.-* Forty-third Rule of Court. Tr escott de Inglesby vs. McLaugh? lin, McC, 4, 264. In the United States Courts, where equity and law are administered by the same Judge, tho practice in relation to sales is inconformity with the conclusion to which we have arrived. Thero the Marshal, tho executive officer of the Court, is always the agont through which they aro made. We have taken a more extensivo view of tho subject than the particular case probably required. This courso has beeu pursued because the counsel on both sides deemed a judg? ment of this Court desirable, as one of the grounds taken, that the practice of tho Circuit Courts in regard to sales might bo uniform. We aro obliged, how? ever, to affirm tho judgment of the Court below, for it had tho right to dosignnte any fit and proper person to make the sale, and, therefore, might appoint the Clerk as well as any other on cause satis? factory to it. Our judgment is, that where the Court intends the sale to bo made by the proper officer, the Sheriff, and not the Clerk, is such officer. The judgment, however, of tho Circuit Court in this case is affirmed for the reasons stated. A GREAT PEOPLE.-A contemporary refers to the unjust confinement in prison, in tho State of Mississippi, of a white man, by the military authority, on the ohargo of having killed a negro. Tho negro is alive and kicking, and ex? plains his sudden disappearanco by stating he had been to a camp-meeting; yet tho prisoner is not released. In alluding to this outrage the Crisis thus expresses its indignation: "This is but one of a thousand instances of the heathenish and disgraceful congressional barbarism maintained in the South by tho Jaoobins and their magnificent rep? resentatives rusticating on the beach at Long Branch. We aro a great people especially great on eagles, freedom, clam? bakes, horses and Grants." Mythologists tell us that Io died be? cause of her intense lovn for Jupiter; but tho charm of the romantic story has late? ly boen destroyed by a chemist disco? vering Io-dide of potassium. A little man cannot lie "long" in bed. Ko SHOOT DRESSES TH ENGLAND-BAD LOCK OF ENGLISH LADIES.-Among the lad ia? whom one meets in walking in London yon ai agati ugh1 with the, lack of taste in dross. They wow little or no hoops or crinoline, and instead of the pretty and convenient short street cos? tumes which Parisian and American m [*die* have adopted, thoy still, drag about, or hold tip, in an awkward attempt at better things, the long, trailing skirts which Other nations discarded long ago. They say that short dresses will never he worn during the reign of Victoria, whose feet, as well as her royal daugh tors', orjB.plebiao.in, their large size and J clumsy shape, and,, therefore, as the la? dies of Queen Elizabeth's time bad to wear raffs because she needed to cover a deformity in her neck, so the women of the present age in England must keep on long dresses because Victoria has to hide her feet.-^-London Revolution. RAILROAD SIGNALS.-Electricity on tho railroads in France is taking the place of haman watchfulness. On many lines there nre countrivances where the pass? ing of a train is automatically announced to neighboring stations. Tho cars pass over connecting wires, and the train re? cords itself before and behind, so that its progress aud appearance ore alike in? dicated. The New York Herald quotes: South Carolina sixes G9@71; do., new, G3(3,G5; do., registered stock, G4@G6; Greenville and Columbia Railroad, guaranteed, 6G @67. A destruotive bail storm passed over a portion of Randolph Couuty, N. C., last Thursday, uprooting trees, unrooting houses, and greatly damagiug the crops. Thirteen hundred stores and three hundred dwelling houses have becu de? stroyed by a fire in the town of Janina, Turkey. An old lady was asked what sho thought of tho eclipse. 8he replied: "Well, it proved one thing, and that is that the papers don't always tell lies."

GARLINOTON.-It is with sincere pleasure that we notice the pre? sence of this gentleman at the extra term of the Court of Equity, now Bit? ting in this city, where he has been called from his new home at Atlanta, Ga., by professional business. He speaks in high terms of tho rapid growth and futuro prospects of Atlanta, and of the hospitality of the people of that city, from whom ho has met with a most kind reception. It cannot but bo a source of regret to us that General Carlington has found it necessary to abandon his old home for a new ono in oar sister State. What South Carolina has lost Georgia has gained. For many years was Gene? ral Carlington a mau in prominent posi? tion here. Distinguished by energy and talents, and aided by a bold and com? manding eloquence, he for many years was influential at tho bar and in tho Se? nate. During tho war, he was a mem? ber of the Executive Couucil of Go? vernor Pickons-then in service as a field officer of the Holcombe Legion; was afterwards elected by the Legislature to the important office of Adjutant and In? spector-General; and at the session of 18G4 received the warm support of nu? merous friends for Governor of the State -when to be Governor of South Caro? lina meant something; meant a combina? tion of social, moral and intellectual qualities which gave dignity to the high position, and drew a charming circle of men and women around it. Wo welcome the General amongst U3, and in his new field of usefulness, wc wish him a hearty "God speed." THE COTTON FEVER IN COLUMBIA. Cotton is again king-at least in Colum? bia. Last year, our friend, Mr. Jona? than Blakely, of tho firm of Blakely & Gibbes, conceived the idea that he would try his hand at cotton-making. He had a piece of ground near his place of busi? ness-seven-eighths of an acre-upon which he determined to put his theory into practice. Mr. Blakely's plan is to break up the ground thoroughly; to plaut thc seed in check about four feet apart; and to manure twice. The first application is under the seed; the second at tho flanks when the plant is about six inches high. He has no huge bed, but resorts to surfaco cultivation. He also selects his seed, which last year was the Dickson. He uses compost and the fer? tilizers. With this treatment aud me? thod, Mr. Blakely obtained two bales and a half, of 400 pounds, off soven eighths of an acre-which is 2 8-10 bales tb the acre. This year, Mr. B. has pur? sued a similar plan, and expects to do better. But ho has to look out for his laurels, for his example has been conta? gious; ho has given a stimulus to the subject, and there arc many amateurs and veterans contesting tho palm with him this year. Dr. Parker, with his corn laurels still green, has entered tho lists; and Mr. O'Neale, Jr., Mr. Beardon, Mr. James M. Crawford, Mr. Gibson, on his island, Mr. Levy and Maj. Gibbes-to say uothing of the gentlemen in tho vicinity and on the borders of the city-are actively in the field. Wc Uko to see this generous rivalry in the calm pursuits of agriculture; and, like an impartial judge, wo shall look on and award the prize to the. victor, with some words of becoming encouragement. Yes, iu this city at least, cotton is king. It has usurped the plaoe of the merely vegetable pro? ducts even in our gardens. Before king cotton, even the "lordly maize" passes unnoticed, although lifting high "its tasseled head." Indeed, here in Colum? bia, when a young man wants to compli? ment a young lady, he gives her not a rose-bud, but a cotton bloom. Even poetry has boen invoked in behalf of cotton, as see in tho following linos from a Carolina poet, Mr. Grayson: "In broader limits by the loftier maize, The child-liko cotton all its wealth displays; Through forked leaves in endlose rows unfold, Gay blossoms tinged with purple dyes and Rold; To suns autumnal bursting pods discloso Their tlooces whito as descending snows." Now lot us close with this suggestion that each of tho parties tako careful notes of the method he has adopted, tho kind of fertilizers used, Sec., and that he mako a report of tho same, pro bono publico, to tho Stato Agricultural and Mechanical Sooioty, at its meoting hero noxt No? vember-wherein, gentlemen, fail not.
