COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, June 20,1874. The Argument in th? mandamus Case. The argumoot in the manda?nus case was co.mmonced yesterday before the Supremo Court. Ou the side of the petition, involving the claims of the Citizens' Savings Bank and the Cen? tral Bank, Phineas F. Frazee, W. E. Boso and Felix OardareHi, amounting to over 892,000, were nrrnyed Messrs. Kion, 0. D. Melton, Donbar and Wbip per: on that of the Treasurer, as re? spondent were the Attorney-General Melton and Messrs. Chamberlain and Elliott. In opening the case the At* torney-Goneral asserted that the olaims in question had not been passed upon specifically, as should have beeu done, to entitle them to payment. He dis? tinctly and solemnly affirmed that officers of the Legislature have proved recreant to the trusts committed to them, and have allowed and assisted forward olaims that thoy knew to. be. fraudoje^ He^.djsa^red an issue oH faotTfcq bVlmftaa and sent to ? jary, and that these alfdmaotsqbuujd, bo required to produce'(.arid Bubatautiuto their Claim?. "?ftfr Measurer has a eight aud it his duty to BcrutiniBe all claims that come before him- He hud done so in these oases, and tor satisfactory rea? sons ;6ould uot approve the zu. He dreaded; the precedent, for in the train of: these, if allowed and. paid, will follow oJJ/thp/SO'oaljed, legislative oxpenaee^-'-Ho he.d heard of four mem? bers of the General Assembly who haye proposed, to a merohant of thin, towu to furnish each of them $500 worth of pro? visions to stock their farms, and to pay him with a pay certificate for . $3,004), leaving a margin of, $1,000. Refuting to take the certificate him? self, the merohant. came so far into the soheme as to let his provisions go for money raised on-the certificate, and it ie now; held against the State, ready to come into court, if the way is only made for it by a favorable decision on the oases now before it. The Attor? ney-General said that the Executive Department of the State Government was in earnest in the endeavor to stem the tide of fraud and corruption whioh was pooling over the land, and begged the aid of the Court in the efforts they were making. Mr. Bion, in reply to the prelimi? nary question thus raised, said that no Btioh r issue, of fact r could be me-de^ There is no *wky to it, and there is! no authority in a court to inquire into the right of the Legislature to make appropriations. He winked there was some way by whioh this oould be done and a oheok. interppaed to the ruinous practice. ' The Coort decided to hear the whole; I case, and would deal with questions and issues ,of fact as they might arise. Mr. Bion then proceeded with his argument. He showed that the writ of mandamus is governed by the rules of the common law, and does not allow muoh I discretionary power; that it is .the proper mode to' compel a State Treasurer to perform a ministe? rial duty, and that the Aols of March 9, 1874, leave no discretion with the State Treasurer. Under them, he is directed and required to issue the cer? tificates of indebtedness, Sec. He next showed that ample provision had been made to pay the claims, and asserted that the Treasurer could not sot up the plea of impediment, in the way of his doing it, in the Constitution. Other points wero made, amongst them thnt certificates of indebtedness are uot bills of credit, because they lack the characteristics of a circulating me? dium. Mr. Donbar followed on the sumo side. In the course of his argu? ment urging the payment of cluims, whether supposed irregular or other? wise, whether doubtful or not, hu en? countered the hludo of Justico Wil - lard, who said: "You come here uuder the audit of the Legislature, and re quiro payment of olaims, whether fraudulent or not. That they are uot fraudulent, you have not proved." Mr, D. replied, holding up the form? ula, that "the Court has no right to presume that any claim passed by the Legislature is fraudulent. When passed, that is enough. The Court, as well as others, must recognize the Le? gislature, and not go behind its nets." Mr. Cuamborlaiu entered upon an elaborate argument on the side of the respondent, the reading of whioh will be finished this morning. The case is one of considerable interest. In our view, upon the verdict will turu the dcoision of the question whether the Legislature will bo convened or uot. A largo number of its members, of? ficers and attachees aro in some way concerned in it, und watch tho pro? ceedings with great iuterest. What? ever tho decisiou may be, we trust that we shall not have a summer session of the General Assembly. tnd1 7t^Blailw" | j \ aid aajr lived,, movej iiyjtbe midsfc^of % ?- TT"*.---oy ?~ -T-T-'P"* fi oqrrufltieu whi^h it his auuraoterlzed, ?nth "numerable rhetorifcal flourishes, aa monstroos and intolerable. It was its voice which, when the work was dou,e, apparently in harmouy with the enlightened utterances of the Con? servative press, pronounced that the I honor of the State had been crucified between thieves, and its or edit sank where plummet line could never reach. Now that the eohoes come baok to it, now that the oountiy has become | alarmed, and orders that theso legisla? tive and official robbers shall be made to walk the plank, the Union-Herald makes piteous complaint of it as "un? qualified abuse." It don't like the eohoes of its own voice. It begins to ohange its tune. It wants to know1 what the newspapers all over the ooun try "have to do with the domestic af? fairs of South Carolina?" \ Well, we suppose they think thoy dught to be better regulated, and are lending their aid and advice to this end. They are just as capable of doing this us the "great National Council of the party," to which the Union-Herald looks to learo "what kind of a man to nominate" for Go? vernor. This redoubtable journal vaunts the glory of its party princi? ples, its invincible organization in the State,,its growing power and its in? creasing intelligence. It indulges iu its bdhall in Dumerooa other palpable notions and unjustifiable flatteries? And yet it begs the National Executive Committee of the Republican party to advise the South Carolina concern as to "tho next gubernatorial nomina? tion." It really can't staDd alone. It has to be supported and tutored, takon onder wing aud told what to do. The difficult problem is to learn "what kind of a man" they must put up for Governor. If thoy should ask us, we would say, "All sorts of a man." What Is It??We clipped the fol? lowing from an editorial iu the Union Herald of a few days ago: "We have proved that the blame lay somewhat at the doors of our merciless and relentless enemies, who, iu 18(35, scornfully aud indignantly rejected tin: amendment*, aud passed the Black Code; who, iu 187U, whipped ami slaughtered us by hundreds, uutil tbe arm of the empire was invoked to pro? tect ub, and who uow, under the fire of snob journals as the New York 1Hm?s, ate preparing to crush, peaceably or foroiby, our organization." We have been educated up to tbe point of calling the late republic u nation, aud to talking of matters na? tional; but tho empire is decidedly an advance we scarcely looked for so soon. Is it to be aoeounted for by the noto? rious slip-shod style of that luminary's rigmarole, or is it merely to faufiltarizo tbe gradual, appunch of Ciejar?m? Anything is preferable to the vulgar tyranny we now live under; so for one, here gOes Vive la Empire. -?-??-?

Yon wish oio to tell you "how i like tho South?" Do 1 hko the "Eden" of, America?

South Carolina State Dental As j eociATiox.?The Association met ou Thursday, at 10 A. M., tho Fresideul in the Chair. The petition for a dona? tion to Dr. S. C. Barnuin, the mvvutor of tbe rubber dam, found a hearty aud substautiul response. Tbe Committee on Membership reported fuvorably ou the letter of applioati ou of Dr. 1j. Solo-1 oiotiH, of Sumter, who was duly elect? ed. A preamble and resolutions iu re? aped to the memory of Dr. B S. Wbaley were read and adopted. The renewal of the subject e>f "Hemor? rhage After Extraction" was again taken up, aud Dr. Rice's treatment fully discussed. l)rs. Chupein and Patrick brought 1 forward peculiar cases, which elicited j considerable discussion aud experi? ment. Dr. J. H. Alexander, of Baruwell, , offered au es.-ay of the cellular base us j a substitute for bard rubber. By reso? lution, the honor of the invention of i the present mode of making tbe eellu- j lur base by steam process, was accorded I to Dr. Alexander. Dr. J. B. Patrick read an able p.iper ou "Dental Irregularities aud Mulfor-1 mutiouB." His remarks were replete with many new and origiunl ideas, which elicited the warmest interest. Dr. Tcagtio presented a pnparati for taking impressions of tho mouth, for tbo testing nf which ho was requested to operate at a cltuic for the purpose. Hu also presented uu appliance for operative dentistry, which wits referred to a committee ou that subject. A Precocious Criminal.?It is not very often that we hrur of u boy of ?fteeu being sout to Stute prisou for life, or even of oue so matured in crime as to rleserve such a fate. It was re? served for Little Valley, CuttaraugUH County, N. Y., to produce such a moral monstrosity. At that place, yesterday, William Boorne, aged tif? teeu. was sentenced to Auburn State Prison for life. His offence was the to order of his step futher, Caleb Ouquu.'I, whom, iu January last, he literally cut to pieces with an axe at a place called Steamburg. Both the murderer uud his victim were intoxi? cated ut the time. Whether that fact operated favorably to the acceptance of u plea of murder in tho second de- ; itrce doe- not appear, but it is piobt-j bio that tli.' same absurd view of ttic case iu ibis parti nlar was taken that has been takeu of tinny others. Thi.-> boy received his iientt nee with an ill-' dilTWriico becoming one who had vaulted to the froul rank of tum 1 reis at a bound, and, wills perhaps a single i xceptiou, no In tter tlispi sitiuu couid ll IVU been in tile of him.

Early in the late war he volunteered iu the Boy kin Rangers, (Captain Kershaw,) aud was soon after elected Lieuteuant. j He acted as a scout for Gen.
