<td parties ? before tho Court and the

-on the acr/sce. Tap argumenta on
both sides were exhaustive and ingeni?
ous. We oancot undertake to follow
-ihem in ail their sinuosities, or to
reprodaoe them with nny fullness or
particalarity. It is a grave question
whioh is before the Court. It has
-standing before it claimants who repre?
sent fraudulent as well as those who
.present valid claims, riow shall it
separate them? Shall it order the

all, and so shield and recognize fraud,

plications whioh enter into the ques?

?country, are suoh sb reach beyond the
Court room aud ure calculated to muke
every thoughtful man feel serious.
Very important consequences will
hinge upon the decision.
We give a summary of Mr. Cham
berluiu'a conclusions. The certificates
of indebtedness now dernubded are ail
a manifest affront to tho Constitution
of the United States add of this State.
If they were free from -any suspicion
of extravagance or fraud; if they were
. authorized to bo issued to support the
-most saqred ^1$$ ?o^ItWrHj^
to keep open the public schools, this
Court would be' compelled to forbid
.their issue. They '?re one and all
-"bills.iol!or'ed(4'' and to'ey oannoj. be
issued in any emergency or for any
pnrpoa'o, Tboy are likewise tp bo re?
deemed oat of u*ea specifically levied
for other and different objeote, and a
violutiou of Section A of Article IX of
tho State Constitution. They are also
an infraction of the 10th Section ;of
Article IX of the Statu Constitution,
whioh forbids the issue of certificates,
-except to redeem other evidences of
State indebtedness. Speaking for the
Treasurer, he paid that he was "im?
pressed with a profound conviction
that the iasue of this series of certifi?
cates of indebtedness would plunge
the 8Ute into irretrievable confusion
and difficulty."

[lie ThlnKs, -wnt ledd* Ufl- dat oTr our]
troubles. He says we may preaoh
reform and oamalative voting to oar
[?pat-baggera And the negroes uotiL
^qams-day and never get them. Oar
friend's remedy is to stir ap the people
lo "giving their surplus land to good
immigrants. The arrival of a few
thousand of'such will do more to pro?
cure reform than all things else. In?
stead of making humiliating proposi?
tions, he advises that South Carolina
?hall introduce within her borders
forty or fifty thousand good, sturdy
immigrants?not the refuse of Castle
Garden, but men of a better class, of
some means and intelligence. Then,
he says, will South Oaroliua become
safe, rich and prosperous. Help will
poor in on all sides, when it is seen
that we are disposed to and can help
ourselves. This is all very well, though
not exactly now, in onr correspondent.
Wo hate shed much ink in presenting
and enforcing similar views. We wish
they could be carried out as easily as
he thinks. Bot1 after he' Walks fully
round thooabjoot, he will find it sur?
rounded with difficulties of which he
does not now dream. They have to be
got rid of 'slowly! one by one. It takes
will and ooooert of notion to do such
things. He thinks; the discussion of
proportional representation not likely
to lead to any concession by the strong
numerical majority. He has hps rea?
sons for this belief, and they are
plausible,, jf not conclusive. They
centre in the unwillingness of those
who hold the power to yield any part
of it. Bat oar friend does not also
boo that before we oan get 40,000 or
50,000 Immigrants, by giving them
land, there must be willingness and
zeal on the part of aa many to give it.
It will take time, effort and concert to
produce the one result as well as the
other. As regards cumulative voting
and ?ach other desirable changes as
we are trying to oonvinoe the domi?
nant party leaders they ought to insti?
tute, the argument is addressed to
their , sense of self-interest, as well as
to justloe and right. They must know
that the end for them is nigh. They
are simply asked to look forward to it,
and make sensible arrangements for its
inevitable coming. Cumulative voting
will be a good anohor oast to windward
for them when the storm breaks opon
.the ship of State. Besides, again,
every reasonable demand, if refused,
strengthens the hands of those to
whom it is refused. President Grant
and the majority of the Judioiary
Committee of Congress could not see
how they could interfere with a sove?
reign State, even so muoh as to send
a committee to investigate its com?
plaints and discover its troubles. Not
they I But that refusal has done South
Carolina more good than was ever ex?
pected or designed. The Radicals
who rnle Congress to-day are afraid to
disoass the affairs of this State. But
the discussion will oome in spito of
them, and the investigation which
they dodged will yet be made. There
is always good in good honest effort,
although we may not always see it at
the moment it is made. "Cast thy
bread upon the waters; for thou ahalt

Mr. Editor: Observing by proceed?
ings of tho City Council as phbtished
io your paper, that contraot had been
awardedi Alderman Carr for lighting
the city with naptha at what I thought
a high prioe, I inquired into it, and
found that no advertisement had bouo
published about such contract. I then
prepared a bid, Si, 000 less than what
tho Alderman offered, and gavo it to a
member of the Council; but it was not
read to the board?the reason giveu
being that "tho oon tract had a I ready
been awarded." I insist that this is an
injury to the tax payers, an 81,000 is
worth saving. L. H. TREVETT.

[Montgomery (Ala.) News.
One of tho moat grievous complaints
against the franking privilege was that
it waa uaed for electioneering purposes.
How the new rule, under which the
departmenta are furnished with stamps,
ia abused for the same purpose, was
revealed by a debate in the Seuate a
few days ago. Senator Lewis, of Vir?
ginia, stated that he then had in hia
room plenty of documents, not on Go?
vernment business; but electioneering
documents, franked with the officiul
stamp upon them by officers of the
Government. Seuutor Alooru.of Mis?
sissippi, remarked that if any Senator
bad documents issued by any of the
departmenta and wished to distribute
them among bis constituents, without
expense to himself, all be had to do
was to send 'hem to ihe department I
from which they came and request that |
they be stamped. Mr. Aloorn deolared
that when the Agricultural Department
sent him his sbare of aeeda, he sent
tbe aeeda buck with the request that
the department would distribute them
among hia constituents. The Senator
explained why he impoaed this burden
on the Commisaioner of Agriculture
by stating that the Commissioner "had
a roll of atamps in hia bund aud uould
send them without charge, whereas if
I were to send them I would havu to
pay the postage on them."
Tbe Washington correspondent of
the New York Times writes of the
Southern Claims Commiasion:
"The bill relative to the Southern
Olaima Commiaaion, which waa de?
bated last week, was to-day parsed.
It bad, however, been stripped of the
objeotionable features whioh have ex?
cited so much opposition. The bill,
aa passed, authorizes the employment
of five agenta inatead of three, and
inoreases tbe number of Oommiasionors
to live. The time for filing claims is
extended to July 4, 1676, and very
strict regulations are provided against |
perjury. One purpose of urging au
inorease in tbe number of the commis?
sion baa, no doubt, been to aeeuro a |
ohange in the poaition of the commia?
sion und infuse into it more liberality
in the allowance of claims; by placing
in the commission two new members
of liberal views in this respeot. Tbe
future usefulness of the commission
depends largely upon the selectiou
made for tbe two new Commissioners,
if the Senate shall agree to the bill.
Last year we opened our eyea and
mouths to marvel over the immeusity
of tbe California wheat crop, and this
year we are still further astounded by
the information that the crop of 1873
will be more than doubled. The area
under cultivation is upwards of 2,000,
000 acres, 300,000 acres more than last
year, and tho yield ia extraordinarily
fine. The total crop is estimated at a
minimum figure of 35,000,000 bushels,
leaving 25,000,000 bushels for export
nearly twice tho greatest amount that
California has ever furnished for ex?
portation, more than all tho rest of
tho United States exported lust year,
and twice aa much us Russia exported
from her great grain districts ou the
Danube. California's gold yield is u
mere trifle compared with this goldeu
shower of grain.

The medical faculty prophesy evil iu
the futuro. They think pestilence is
ou the wing for America. Suppose
this to be true, what is the best de
feuou against it? Redoubled nervous
vigor. This is tho ouly protection
against panic, as well an against the
principle of infection. Why do not
those who predict the epidemic pro?
pose au adequate preventive? There
is one?a tonic, nervine ami alterative,
competent to shield tho system against
the subtle elements of disease, whether
they float hither on the wiuds from
distant lauds, or rise like vapor ftom
our own aoil, or are^ incorporated
with the universal fluid. This ouo
preventive, of which there is uo dupli?
cate among the compounds either of
tho old world or the new, is Hostet
tor's Stomach Bitters. Remember
that it is a epocitic for ull the com?
plaints which lay the system open to j
visitations of deadly epidemics. If you
are dyspeptic, it renews the vigor of
your digestive powers, gives you appe?
tite and restores your cheerfulness.
If you are nervous, it invigorates every
fibro of your nervuus .system, from
the baso of the brain, where it begins,
to tho extremities, where it termi?
nates. If you are bilious, it disci?
plines your unruly liver aud brings
the notion of that orgau into harmony
with the laws of health. It is, iu
chort, au iuvigoraut aud ?Iterative uo
powerful that nature, with Hosletter's
Bitters for her ally, may bid defiance
alike to native malaria and foreign in?
fection. It not only awakens the phy?
sical powers from a state of collup.se
and ioanitioo, but it imparts perma?
nent vigor to the muaoular and ner?
vous systems, reinforoing. as it were,
both the stronghold aud the outworks
of vitality. The aged, the decrepid,
the nervous, the broken-down of both
sexes, are recommended to try it.
They will assuredly find it a present
help iu time of trouble. J21 fif.l

These medicines have undoubtedly
performed more euro.' of consumption
than auy other remedy kuowu to the
American publiu. They are com?
pounded uf vegetable ingredients, aud
contain nothing which oun be injuri?
ous to the human coubi.itui.inu. Other
remedies advertised us cures for con?
sumption, probably contain opium,
which is a somewhat dangerous drug
iu all cases, and if takeu freely by con?
sumptive patients, it must do great in?
jury; for its tendency is to contino the
morbid matter in the system, which,
of course, must inuke a cure impossi?

opium. It is composed of powerful
