It Bays that tho "elections this fall will turn less apon tho war than upon taxation-less upon occurrences that are over, than apon the will and the ability to intro? duce moro economy, more honesty, more efficiency into the various departments of Government. Hence, members of Congress must oxpoct to encounter a new ordeal. The consistency of their Re? publicanism will be their prima facie title $o a fresh endorsement; but the qualifications which will .servo them best are to be derived from the intelligence anti ?fieot with which they strivo to en? large the mission of their party, and to adopt it to the present wants and pur? poses of the people. The party must keep {mee with time or pay the penalties of defeat; and they are its truest friends who insist that tho session shall not close until Ibo majority who are responsible for its notion shall have evinced their estimate of needed reforms, and their determination to make these reforms es? sential features of the party's future course." The Times is a wi-te counsellor to ile party; not that its advice is given with an eye.to the public good, but that it it given witb the view of "perpetuating the power which its party now possesses, and which for years it has exercised to that end. But for this, we might say the Times is a good counsellor. Party suc? cess,'however,'being its chief aim, the term wary, instead of good, is more ap? plicable to it. In the foregoing the reader will perceive it warns its readers that the fall eleotions North will turn "less npon war than upon taxation; less upon ooourrences that are over, than upon the will and the ability to intro? duce more economy, more honesty, more efficiency into the various departments of the Government." And so they will. The indications are plain all over the West and North, that those tests will moro generally apply to candidates for Congress from those sections than thc war and negro tosts. But the latter aro fast playing out, and if tho Domocratic party thero will be vigilant, united and wise, seeing as it ongbt to seo, that those new tests will entes into the elections, not all the admonitions of tho Tunes, nor its counsels, be they heeded or not, can prevent the accession into the next Congress of a large number of Demo? crats, probably enough to change tho present political aspect of the House, from which will spring another now era more promising than tho one which is now upon the country.

BatU ot th? ?tate. . We re?erredjrenerally, in a recent is? sue, eaya tb o Charleston ' Cotirier,'. to, tho doo reo of His Honor Judge Carpenter, in this very important case, involving, as it doce, not only legal pointa of large conseqaenco, but also, questions ot State fin ance) which are likely io assume ' im* portanoe at no distant day. As already announced, an appeal has been taken on behalf of the bill-holders, and their Honors of the Supremo Gonrt have been solicited to hear the arguments of coun? sel on the appeal, if practicable, at an early day. The legal status of the bills of the issues of 1661 and 1862, is stated by Judge Carpenter's decree in no unin? telligible language-they are lifted from the alleged taint of a war issue, by the evidence of the officers of the Bank, to that of a State obligation, and as the State, by her legal representative, parti? cipates in the trial of the case, she thus voluntarily assumes the position of seek? ing to know what is the honor and duty of the State under the circumstances, and with tho presumed intent of com? plying. A curious phase of thia case, now first legally developed, is in tho fact that it is in proof that what have been known and designated as "old issues," wore loaned en bloc to the Confederate Government for war purposes, the vaults having been emptied to supply the demand for cur? rency nt that time, while tho subsequent issued of 18Gl and '62 were resorted to aa a measure of relief to the people of the State, who conduoted their business and raised their crops with this money, which held at that time abd before tho war, the highest confidence, guaranteed, as it was, by the State of South Caroli? na, those "old issues" have long since been funded by fheStiitp. There are soino who think that the Su? preme Court will confirm Judge Carpen? ter's deoreo; if so, the issues of tho Bank of the State previous to I8G0, and also of 1861 and 1862, are au obligation ol the State for the face of the bills, and this carries along with it the privilege, nay, the right, to offset with theso bills any demand of tho Stato against the holders of tho notes. If, on tho othei hand, the decree of His Honor Judge Carpenter is over-ruled, and the bill holders have precedence as to the asset: of the Bank, there is more than onougl at cash valuations to pay the par of al I issues now outstanding. In any event ' we do not see in what respect, hereafter there can be discrimination between th< notes of the Bank of the State, excep as to tho fractional ourrency issued ii 1863 and 1861, and made payable ot their face in the "current funda" of tin times. This was received as Confedurati currency, and will be so treated, and i I olause of His Honor's decree decide their vnluo. We publish in fall BO much of tho de cree as relates to the bills of the Bank and shall keep our readers advised o tho proceedings in the Supremo Court so soon as the case is appointed fo hearing: The next question which present itself for my consideration, is, us to th right of the holders of bills issued b the Bank. The Stato has become a party to tbes proceedings. It cannot be sued; but i may consent to bo a party. No prooee of Conrt, proprio vigore, can affect il No order pr decree can act upon it ? indium. Wh?n it does become a partj it is to tho end that through its courts i may be advised of its rights or its obligf lions; and when these aro ascertained the highest sanction has been secured t enforce the one or discharge tho othei In this case the State has, of its ow will, submitted to its courts the decisio of the issues involved. At the hearing it was so announced by tho Attornej General, then representing tho Stato. In considering tho relation of th State to the holders of the bills of th Bank, it is not necessary to give critiot interpretation to so mach of tho Act c 1812, as declares that "the faith of th Stato is pledged for 'lie support of th Bank, and to supply any deficiency i the funds specifically pledged, and t make good all losses arising from sac deficiency." When a State becomes corporation, in that capaoity, it retain no attribute of its sovereignty. It is r< garded as an individual, so far as an exercise of control is coucerned, in reit tion to tho corporation. What an indi vidual corporator may do, tho State, s a corporator, may do and no moro. An where, as in some States, tho Constiti tion provides that the State may b made a party to a suit, and therefore, i auch suit, a deoreo t'? invitum bo mad against it, there is no difference betwee tho condition of a natural person an that of the Stato, as a party to that suil In this caso, the assent of the State t becomo a party does not carry with it th assent that the order or decree shoul reaoh its property. Tho object, then fore, of the State, connecting itself wit this suit, is that the nature and extent c its rights and obligations may be ascei fained by tho Court. It has been shown, in this case, tin the State contributed to the Ban the whole of its capital. Its rights wer those of a stockholder, and so were il obligations. The capital of tho Bank i pledged for the pay mont of its bills. J is held, or it is intended to be held, b the proper officers of tho Bank, as trust fund, of which they are the trui tees. Tho right of tho stockholders to return to them of what they contribu? can only arise when tho debts of th Bank .have been paid. According to th testimony adduced, tho Stato bas draw from the Bank not only the who] amount arising from all sources whio it ever contributed to its capital, with ir tereBt thoreon, but it is largely indebto to tho Bank besides; and whilo this fa< appears, the bill-holders, depositors, an other ereditore, are left unpaid. If an individual held the relation t the Bank which tho State holds, he wool be required to pay baok to the Bank, t least as much as would satisfy its ored tors. Tho right of tho creditor againi tho State is as olear as it would be against tho individual stockholder. Tho obligation of. tho stockholder is 03 clear in tho ono caso QB in the other. Noria I-it lessened because in the case of tb6 *&* dividual the order or dooroo could on foroo his dut}-, while in the case ol the I State its courts have no euch process. But it cannot be supposed that a State will need any process, when it has the sense of duty in regard to its obligations announced in its own courts. If the State had not withdrawn from the Bank the whole of its capital, the creditors of the Bank would be paid. To those who would become creditors of tho Bank, the State had pledged that capital. At various times the courts of tho State have declared that tho capital of the Bank was pledged to its creditors. Tho pledge of the State and the judicial de? claration of it in the case of this Bank, was that which had been everywhere de? clared to bo the law governing snob corporations. The principle that tho oapital belonged in the first placo to tho creditors of tho corporation, and not until they were satisfied, to tho stock? holders, is settled beyond dispute. And equally well settled is it, that stock? holders who have withdrawn capital be? fore the claims of creditors are satisfied, will be forced to bring it back. Tho statement that tho whole of the capital has been withdrawn by the State, has boen made very positively by Mr. Furman, the President, and Mr. Waring, the Cashier, and no denial has been made of its correctness. In giviug force to tho Act of 1838, and recognizing the prior equity of the cre? ditors under that Act, 1 could not fail to observe the pledge of the faith of the State which it gave to those who, in that I matter, became its creditors. Unqucs I tionably the creditors of tho Bauk have a right to ask of the Stato that its pledge in relation to that bank bo redeemed. They only ask the Sl.ato to give back to the Bank that which belonged to it which was its property, and which be? longed to its creditors, and is their pro? perty. In tho discussion of the case some? thing was said concerning the inhibition of tho State to provide for the bill holders, because of the amendment tc the Constitution forbidding the payment by tho seceding States of debts con? tracted in aid of the war. The point thus raised caunot be sustainod. In thc first place, tho claims are against thc Bank, and the Stato is involved because it has taken the assets of the Bank. The Bank oan have no more reason to ques? tion its liability in regard to its bills thai would any other party to a contract whe had entered into n lawful engagemcul duriug tho war. But another reason h all sufficient. It is proved the bills nov. in question were not issued in aid of th? war, but to relieve the necessities of th( people arising from the loan of bills o an older issue to tho Confederate States If any bills came within the terms of th< amendment referred to, it is the billi which have boen redeemed by tho State by tho issue of its bonds. * It was also said that the bills provee in this case had been purohascd nt a lov rate, and that the claim for their faci was unjust and extortionate. It wouh not be easy for ono who had sold thesi bills in open market, at less than thoi face, to a purchaser bonn fide, to come iuto Court and claim that he who hat purchased should not receive from th Bank moro than he had paid for them aud it would be equally difficult to un derstund how the Bank could claim tba it was only liable for the amount paid b; each purchaser for its bills. Within i comparatively recent period, the publ? securities of the State were sold at von reduced prices. If the objeotion no* made to these bills be well taken, i wonld seem to be equally applicable ti all public securities. And yet, few thing would more affect the value of the pub Ho securities of the State than such ai objection seriously pressed by those hav ing control of its affairs. But this objection considered iu con nection with tho Bank ceases to have an; claim to consideration. When tho Bani issued its bill, it promised to pay th holder the amount specified on its face That promise was mude either to croat a valid legal obligation, or to work ? fraud. As it is not conceivablo that i was made for the latter purpose, it mus have been for the former. For even bill that it issued, tho Bank received con sidoration. For that it mude promis that is contained in the bill. Aud ther is nothing afterwards and between othe parties that can diminish its obligatioi to pay that bill according to its face to i bona fide holder. In tho case of Furman, Green & Co vs. P. L. Michel, Collector of Taxes, ro cently heard and decided in tho Supretn Court of tho United States, the questioi was considered how far tho guaranty o tho State of Tennessee extended. Ii tho judgmont of tho Court this lan guago is used; "An attempt is made to restriot th operation of tho guaranty to the persoi who, in the course of dealing with tb bank, receives tho notes, nnd not to ex tend farther. * * * The guaranty ie in no sense, a personal one. It attache to tho note; is part of it; as mach so a if written on the back of it; goes wit] tho note everywhere, and invites ov?rj ono who hos taxes to pay to take it." It would seem from tho last mentionei authority that the Stato of South Caro lina was bound to redeem these bills t< the extent of tho original pledge made ii the Act of incorporation, and that cor tainly was to tho amount of tho capita Btock furnished by tho State. I profe to rest my judgment of the liability o tho State, in this case, upon what I re gard as tho true and unquestionable grounds. Tho Bank is insolvent. Th Stato is its debtor. It owes first th amount of capital stock furnished by tb State; and it owes, second, large amount borrowed by the State, in addition there to. Tho creditors of the Bank, there fore, have the right to payment of th amount of the indebtedness of the Stat* ' into the Bank for ibo purpose of being applied to their debts respectively. So far as the bills are concerned, this claim should be for the f?ll amount of tho face of said bills, whilo ouch bills were issued upon a specie basis, and until they were ?iractically Confed?rate transactions, rom which time, taking the date of the bill aa the Bata, they should bo scaled like other transactions made with refer? ence to Confederate money. What I havo said iu reference to the bills of the Bank applies, in my judg? ment, with equal force to tho depositors and other creditors of the Bank wbote claims are unsecured under the Act of 1838. It is, therefore, ordered, that this case bo referred to the Hon. B. F. Dun? kin, as special referee, and that he call in the two classes of depositors repre? sented in this caso, by those who depo? sited before the war, und those who de? posited during the war, by advertisement, published in the Charleston Courier, Charleston News and Columbia PIKENIX, for six weeks, on or before tho 15th day of August, 1870, to provo their claims; and if such claims are not so proved, they will bo barred from all participation in tho assets of tho said Bank, or claims upon the State. And it is further ordered, that tho said special referee take proof as to the character of the in? debtedness to said two classes of depo? sitors, as to whether the transactions were with reference to lawful money of the United States or Confederate cur? rency; and such of thom as ho finds to havo been in Confederate currency, he will ascertain the value of rmh claim in tho lawful currency of tho United States. And it is further ordered, tina too said special referee also ascertain what por? tions of the bills ulreudy proved wore issued with reference to Cou federate currency; and as to such bills, he will ascertain their value iu lawful mouey of tho United States. And be will also ascertain what portion of tho other debts nlrendy proved were contracted in Con? federate currency; and, ns to such debts, ho will ascertain their value in lawful money of tho United States at tho date of the contract. It is further ordered, that the said special referee ascertain tho amount of the indebtedness of tho State to the Bank upon the principles of this decree, giving to the State credit for the amount of stocks nud other securities left with the Bank as collaterals, and giving to the State also credit for the amount of the bills redeemed by the issue of bonds. And it is further ordered, that the said special referee tax the costs of this suit, and report to thia Court on the first day of its next November term. R. B. CARPENTER. MAY 7, 1870.

REFORMISTS. ? ? m ? A lady admirer of "Julius," requests us to publish the following reply to his gushing letter, published several days ago: COLUMBIA, May 24, '70. MY DEAREST JCLICS: With" great de? light, I read your beautifully composed and highly prized>message of love. You cannot imagine the pleasuro with which I traced thoso loving lines, penned by the hand of him, who, nbovo all others on earth, I adore. You say that you are melancholy away from your loving Jeru j sha. Why, then, dear Julias, stay away ! from, and cause her grief? when you know that yon are the idol for whom she would forsake all the earth. Yes, Julius, you are tho delight of my soul, for whom I cherish an undying love. But, dear? est Julius, you cannot think mo very sweet, to be comparing mo to pnppies, dough-nuts, and the like; yon must think that I feel very sweet, after having had a comparison drawn between such things and myself. But I forgot-I suppose while you were writing that paragraph, your head was "whirling round like a bumble-bee in a glass tumbler;" your eyes were "as wide open ns cellar-doors in a country town;" which, I am very oertain, was quite too wide open to seo what you were writing, and your thoughts wore wandering towards me. And, now, dearest Julius, think you not that our mode of correspondence is rather pub? lic? Think you not that it would be more pleasant, if we had our missives of love all to ourselves? Let us, then, I say, carry on oar correspondence here? after, through tho post oflioo. Believe mo, as over, your fond and ever-loving JERUSHA.

If thc Charlotte, Columbia on Augusta Railroad Company will olio' the now road to uso tho track of the foi mer company from Columbia to August upon fair terms, tho road will, of courts* stop at Columbia; but if any obstach are attempted to bo thrown in its way, will be laid through to Augusta.
