Friday^ito^ng,'iannary lg; 18747 JadgicCarpenttr and tl?? M?mbct? of tbe Bar. In view of tbo general interest mani t es ted by oar community iu the recent decision of Judge Carpenter in the mat* tor of contempt alleged to havavbeen committed by the attorneys for ibe Citizens" Savings Bank, we fee! impelled to examine into tbe crime for which bo severe a punishment baa been visited upon an honorable body of men, to see upon what grounds its infliction has been placed, or whether the punishment is properly graduated to tbe offene?. This has two heads, it seems, of wbioh one consists in giving certsin advice, the othen in receiving a retaining fee. Now a lawyer's business is to advise clients and act for thorn under certain circum? stances. The presumption would neces? sarily be/that this oonld hardly over bo ?cocetrned ihto an j unlawful or improper act. in' this case the Judge gave an order direotiog that property should not he . deposed of. The attorneys, wheli consulted 'by their client, advised it jo seek the protection of a court organised specially for just auoh oases as his. ?f 'the Jndgo was free to^mako bis order, tbe attorneys, in their capacity -as euch, ware equally at liberty to give -their best' advice. The order is not affected by the advice. Can advice be tortured or twiBted by any bnt a biased mind info a disobedionoe of the Court's ordet? It is hot an act that is forbid? den. All writers, wo understand, agree 'that' the act must be, in its nature, in? jurious^ and forbidden by the Oonrt. Cau the filing of a petition, the making ?of an aflldavit, the giving of legal ad? vice, be, by tbo most ingenious mind, made to oome within tbo prohibition to dispose of funds? It will require a >wide latitude of oonstruotion to make vaoftt and advice identical. It is rather oloae probing, to Bay that the ndvioe was given with a certain intention, and that being adopted by the client, there arises the presumption of "preconcerted ac? tion." Advice, which is both good law and good sense, ought surely not to be construed into a oontempt of Oonrt, be? cause the lawyer who gavo it, foresaw its legal result, if properly followed. Judge Carpenter seems iaolioed to eueer at the speed with which Judge Bond's opinion wa* reached. He for? gets that ho has himself been slow to render i his decree. There are persons who suspect that something like resent menti instead of conscientious care, was at this bottom of such unseemly delibera? tion on his part. . Another question remains for brief consideration. Can the acceptance of a fee by lawyers be construed into con? tempt, because their olients* assets are under injunction? This proposition is just as ontenablo as the other. The re? ceiving of money from a person forbid? den to pay it can only render the pay? ment inoperative. There is no con? tempt about it. It was the act by which the attorneys were constituted the agents of their clients for certain par poses. They were not ageuts until the fee was reooived. Tfrey were not agents in receiving it. It is thus seen that, as against these attorneys, the offence of doiog some act which they were forbidden to do is not established. Their right to do just as they did has been fully vindicated by the United States Circuit Court, con? firmed by the nniversal public senti? ment. When wo prooeed further to examine into tbe punishment passed on six honorable gentlomeD, whose de? pendence is upon the profession from which it is sought to eject them, we are struck with tbe singular alternative pre- j souted to them. A school-man, in the extravagance of his logic, might suy, "It is credible becauso it is impossible;" but in Judge Carpenter, it is trifling with the rights of citizens, and an of? fenen to the well-settled sense of justice in the whole community, to say to honora? ble practitioners at the.bar, "aobieve impossibilities and yon may be rein? stated." The impossible alternative re? quired of the attorneys, to restoro tbe assets of the bank to Judge Carpenter's Court, is a small but intensely signifi? cant thing. It must mean perpetual ex? clusion. It is, further, an attempt at dio- j tation, against which we raise our voice I and enter onr protest. Attorneys are just as independent in their sphere as Judges. Their action iu that sphere may not be restrained. And wo are sure that a way will be speedily found by wbioh the violated rights of these gentlemen shall bo rodreseed. It is an invasion in which tbe whole fraternity of tbo noble profession of the law is in? terested, and it will raako common onuso with theso worthy buffering mem? bers. -?? Mr. Calvin Hull died at Pendluton Faotory ou tbo 8th. The committee appointed by the pub lio meeting held les t Mod day to present to tbe Governor its action, and to make certain requests, Was accorded an inter? view with Lim yesterday, nt tho Execu? tive office. The committee was courte? ously received. In reference to the re? quest of tbe meeting, that the time for payment of taxes be extended to tho 1st of March, the Governor expressed a doubt as to bis constitutional right to do so. In view of tho necessity of tho case, ho had ventured to extend it al? ready until tho 5th of February. He promised to bring the matter promptly to tbe attention of the Legislature, which, he had no doubt, would do everything proper to be doue. As to the re-assessment of properly at a fairer valuation, ho roferrcd tho oommittee to tbe Comptroller-General, to whoso pro? vince the matter specially holonged. That officer bad issued circular forms, on which the tax-payer, if uuduly as? sessed, might make hiu otatemeuts, and they would be carefully considered. If the tax was shown to be excessive, a re? bate could in this way be secured. Tbe Governor intimated his purpose to recommend to tbo General Assembly the passage of an Act which would ena? ble all parties, whoso lands had been , sold for taxes, to recover them upon i payment of the tax, without costs. The conversation turned upon the general feeling entertained tuwardu the i administration. The Govornor main- i tained that it was disposed to be fuir aud just to all tho people. Ho thought i the criticisms indulged in towards it i were sometimes too harsh. He thanked the meeting for tbe can? did manner in which it had brought the I matters in which the people felt ag? grieved direotly to his attention. It was ; the first time it had been done by citi? zen h from the conservative side in poli- i tics during his administration. i Tbe Rale at South Carolina. We shall occasionally givo an extract From the work of Mr. Pike, "The Pros- 1 tr?te State," in order that our anoon- 1 oernod people may sco themselves as they are seen by others. The eighth ahaptor opens with the following pass? age, descriptive of the present rule in j South Carolina, but denying that it can , or should last: "The rule of South Carolina should not be dignified with the name of go? vernment. It is tho installation of a huge system of brigandage. Tbe men who have had it in control, and who now have it iu oontrol, are the picked villains of the community. They are the .highwaymen of' tbe State. They are professional legislative robbers. They are men who have studied aud practiced tho art of legalized theft. They are in no senso different from, or better than, the men wbo fill the prisonu and penitentiaries of the world. They are, in fact, of precisely that chv*e, only more daring and and actons. They pick your pockets by law. They rob the poor and tho rich alike, by luw. They confiscate your estutu by law. They do some of these things even under tbe tyrant's plea of tbe public ! good or the public necessity. They do all simply to enrich themselves per? sonally. The sole, base object is to gorge the individual with public plun? der. Having done it, they turn around and buy immunity for their acts by sharing their gains with the ignorant, pauperized, besotted crowd who have chosen them to the stations they fill, and which enable them thus to rob and plundor. "Aro we to be told that these things are iuovitubie, beuauru thuy uro the re? sults of our theory of government, and that that theory must bn sound? Is not tbe true reasoning quite in tho other direction? If these are tho legitimate results of it, theu tho theory it; ut fault, and its application must bomehow be changed or modified, What tbo world is after is results?souud, wholesome, just results. These every inlelligeut and just community will have, sooner or later, iu one way or another. They will uot forever endure tyrannies and op? pressions aud outrages. It is tbe cor? ruptions and the abuses of authority thut stimulate revolutions, rupture kingdom* and overturn empires. This is as true now and will be as true in the future as it has been iu the past. Fraud, injustice, mis-rule in government, what? ever their protean shupes, whether lofty or low, whether uoble or ignoble in their aspects, will breed a temper that will seek to accomplish their ovorthrow. Especially must this ho so in our times. Does anybody suppose that such a con? dition of things as exists to-day iu South Carolina is to last? Such a supposition is to ignore tbe history and the charac? ter of manhood." ' Puullc Meeting. In consequence of tho failure of tho Committee of Thirteen, appointed to confer with tbe Governor, upon matters of public interest, to meet him, in con? sequence of indisposition, yesterday, the meeting wbioh it was expected would be held to-day has, upon consultation, been postponed to next Wednesday, the 21st instant. It is hoped that the attend ?anoe on that day will be lurgo and prompt. The times demand the people shall cousnlt together. By request of J. TVloKENZLE, Chairman. A. C. Moons, Seorvtary. -o ? ?-.

Tho death of Mr. Jefforsop. in the eighty-fourth year of bis age, in announced from Rich? mond. An extract of a letter from Cbnrlottesvillo, July -1, states that he died that day, ten minutes before 1 o'clock, tho day ond hour on which the Declaaation of Independence wus read to Congress, July 4, 1776. It is added: "No other euthanasia could have been wished to him. Tho day of his fumo was tho day of his death. Tin: applause and gratitude of a whole republic were at the very moment rehearsing his work and repeating his praises."

For the benefit of tho curious iu Kuch matters, tho writer will state what actually occurred in his own experience. In the month of February, 18G1, ho read aloud, in one day and by daylight, a volume containing 637 pages, averag? ing, aooording to uctaal count of tun pages promiscuously taken through the volume, 224 words to the page. Leaving out the last page, which eontains only ten lines, and computing 636 pagos at 224 words pur page, we havo un aggre? gate of 142,461 words.

Tho colony was founded in 1871. by fifty Swedes; now it numbers 600 souls. Thoy have taken up 20,000 acres of laud, felled 2,200 acres of tim ber, have 100 acres in grass, have built 130 houses, 130 bams aud three mills. Thero have been 11 marriages, 71 births and 30 deaths among them.
