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."

SOUTH CAROLINA BRANCH or THE PIED*
ONT LIFE INSURANCE COMP ANT.-We
learn that this Board met on yesterday,
organised and have prepared for busi?
ness. Tho superintendent of agents,
J>r. Brauch, of Abbeville, was pr?sent,
and made a very favorable report as to
the results of his travels and observation
in connection with the Piedmont Life.
GEN. A. C. 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.
