COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, April 17, iy5. The Enforcement Act? before the Su? preme Court. . A despatoh published two days since, indicated that the Supreme Court of the United States had been polled upon the question of the constitutionality of the Enforcement Aotn, and found opposed n?TORIMng fnem' constitutional. The Court la I supposed to sustain the deoi wiiton of Justice Bradley in the Louisiana -BMir.'frbm whioh an appeal was taken, whioh brought it into the Supreme Court, where it waa argued on one side b/lh*e Attorney-General, and "on tho other by several eminent lawyers, Wohgst them Mr. D. Dudley Field, of ;- New York, and Mr. Beverdy Johnson, of 'Baltimore. While'the v'ewgentertained by the Court are thus indicated, it is . -also stated that it will not announce any decisions upon questions of a political nature', of whioh this is one of the moBt . important, until after the fall elections. . Jtrsfaa noticed during the argument that | ' Attorney?General Williams found it con? venient to evade the issue indirectly in? volved' in Aha. paspt - He avoided the leading quest ion of the validity of the Enforcement . A^oto, and the Court may be justified in doing likewise, although It to see ho}? they can in any i ?11 kit rouna! the sJnrmitfon '0#*ttre bower1 claimed ^by Con? gress under tne new constitutional amendments. The case, as presentod, may: not press in that particular direc? tion, or there may ba prudential reasons j for not giving expression to the conolu t Bion, whioh seems to have been reached. The phraseology U unfortunately chosen, however, which makes tho decision or -the' promulgation of it in any way con tingent upon "elections." It looks as if they subordinated the conservatism and just construction to whioh they are im? pelled to the political influences which surround them and the policy of the 'Au4ninh^ration, and awaited a more ?fcYoTBblft condition of 'public sentiment, in orAer to justify them in giving ex? pression to It We doubt not that the "fall elootiona" will do their part, and then we shall expect the Judges to do j Call., pronouuoe against the Enforce? ment Acts with' impunity, and with a courage whioh will not have much to eope with.. . There is nothing in the near or the ^?remote rat uro more important than a right daeMon of tho questions involved in thia matter. Are the-righto of the States of this Union abridged and made subordinate by these Acts to the powers tpf,tthe General .Government? Axe citi? zen* amenable directly to Federal laws, without regard to the laws of their own State?

Ac., "nor deny to any person ; it* jurisdiction, the equal protec? tion of the lews." What in "appropriate legislation," as applicable to these pro v^atons? j Congress 1 has assumed, under thto grant of legislativa power, the right i to laginlits. on the subject of pnblie con? veyance*, modes of travel, Ac. It has ?toetched one its hand to punish of f?ioe* within the States, without refor V*$WW*f law?. Is this appropriate legislation? Upon the' answer to this qnafttioa must stand or fall tho wholo body of, political legislation which has ?Anted within the last few yean ie Bepubfioan majority In Congress. Philadelphia Praas weU pays: i "it Mr. Bevexdy Johnson, to.

Congress of the class referred to, :QV*r whioh the politicians have been ?trnggling, are worth no. more than so many bite of paper, and the whole ? polisy ambodiod in them U a failure and a fraud." . .^Parto despatch indicates that Ous Uve Courbet, the irrepressible French artfcrt and OommnnUt, is again in trou? ble.

No one can consider the unfriendly ione towards it of a consider-, ab|e portion of tho - people of the North, no ono can look at tho prostration of some Southern States, the odious govern? ments put over them, the weight of taxes and debt under whioh they stagger, prin? cipally due to tho temper and character of the National Government, and pre? tend to feel any gush of enthusiasm over the great national anniversary. But it is far from being profitable or wise to look only on the dark side, and but a dreary satisfaction to dwoll only on the disagree? able. Tho evils of which we have had the best right to complain, appear to bo passing away, Great changes in public sentiment'N6rth and Sodth are every day taking place. Perhaps the clouds arc 1 olearihg before the approach of the great day itself, whioh is to mark our progress for the last 100 years. Certain it is, a revolution in sentiment is going on. Proscription, bitterness, depreoation aro I melting before a naming public opinion, which denounces wrong, and insists upon a higher type of public and official life, and, above all, demands justice to? wards tho South. It may be, that the fires of a purer patriotism are to be re? kindled at the old shrino, and 1876, in its revivifying influence on our national life, be only laws grand than 1776, which witnessed its origin. The Southern States aro too poor and too much reduced to contribute much pecuniary aid to the centennial enter? prise. But they can make a display of the varied productions which spring from their soil and ripen in their raatch i leas oil mate and \mder then* genial skies. It would bo of immense advantage if they could Bend these eloquent represen? tatives to speak for them in the congress I of nations whioh will bo assembled in ' Philadelphia next year. If we had our silkeh long cotton, our robust short ; staple, our grains, fruits, woods, mine? rals, testifying to the paradise in which I our lot has been cast, they would set the 'tide of immigration flowing thin way as nothing else can. We cannot afford, "prostrate" State as we ore, to be absent from this great festival. Let us go up with the rest,* claim our birthright, get as much satisfaction out of tho occasion as wo can, and contribute our part to the purification and renewal of the great national tie which binds us into one. They will be worthy of the State which, as Bancroft has said, made the American Union. . The Luok of Roaring Camp, so happily I described by Bret Harte, was not ush ; ered Into the world under more notable auspices than was Storm Lake Brolinska in Iowa, a couple of weeks since. The Western bound trains with several hun? dred passengers, were snow bound at Storm Lake, a smrll city on the line of the Illinois Central Railroad, eighty miles East of Sioux City. The hotels of the place, as well as the private resi? dences, were of course soon crowded by the beleaguered passengers. On one train was a car of Mennonites, on their way to join their countrymen in Dakota. They refused to leave their car,*and next morning it was ascertained that a bed? room, improvised by tacking sheets across the end of tho car, one of the Mennonite women named Brolinska was about to be confined. Two doctors from Storm Lake volunteered their services, and nnder their auspices a possible Pre? sident of the United States was success? fully ushered into life. Tho ladies of the city, with the sympathy and curiosity of their sex, were not long in making their way to the car, and excitement every? where prevailed. The Mayor called a meeting of tho Council, which declared the day a public holiday, and voted the hospitalities of the city to the baby and its mother. A grand procession was soon parading the gayly-decorated streets, and the mother and baby were carried in tri? umph to the publio hall, where speeches were mad* by the Mayor, Judge Kid dor, Delegate to Congress from Dakota, and several prominent citizens. The an? nouncement was then made that a five acre plot of land was to be given to the baby, and then a poll was demanded, and, all present voting for that name, the boy was christened Storm Lake Bro? linska. The procession then re-formed, and escorted Master Brolinska to the station, and the train moved on amid the firing of canndn and the ringing of bells. The New York Times editorially hints that the time will oome when the United States will be over-run with a tidal-wave of Mongolian immigration, and suggests that in a few years the superstition or the Chinese about the necessity of being carried back to their native land to be I buried, will pass away. It is true, that two Chinamen have thus far become naturalised, and have assumed the duties and burdens of American citizenship, bnt there are ?0,000 of that race in the country who still cling to their traditions and allegiance to their native land. It is plain that the immigration question must oome up on the Pacific coast, and the opposition of the whites in that re? gion would seem to place a great obsta? cle in the way of a general influx of Celestials. Only a few days ago, a meet? ing of many of the wealthy men of San Francisco entered a protest ?mliMt *>?* employment of Chinese labor in that oity, as they deem it injurious to their interests, and they tat forth the great in? jury to property whioh was incurred by the purchase of building lota by Chinese. There in certainly a Chinese problem be? fore the country, bnt it would be better to dispose of the1 negro and Indian enigmas before we attempt the gigantic tank of solving the Celestial puzzle.

AC VDKM Y Taours.?This company, which performs in the Opera House on Monday evening next, is thus spoken of by the Atlanta (Ga.) Xttes: One of the best performances of the season was witnessed at DeGives' last night "Chris and Lena" was happily represented by Baker and Farron. Tneir impersonation of the Dutch and Irish character excelled anything we have ever seen in this city. Mr. Baker has just enough of the Teutonic smaok about him to perform the part of "Chris" in a superior style, while Mr. Farron, a jovial son of Erin, in the personation of "Lena" is fully the equal of "Cris." They are star comedians, and were greeted with rounds of applause, and were fre auently encored. The entire company id so well that it would be treating them with injustice to make special men? tion unless each one could be noticed in the role he performed. At any rats, we mast mention the "Maidoon Guards" and "The Little Frauds," as enacted by Baker and Farron. From their first ap? pearance on the stage to the time of then departure the audience was convulsed with laughter. There are no better actors on the ?tage than these two celebrated I comedians. To the lovers of comedy, of real, genuine fnn, we can safely ask them to witness Baker and Farron. They are "stars of the first magnitude." Another exchange says: Opf.ua. House.?The performance of Chris and Lena, at the Opera House, last cTsniug, ? tin entertaining iu the extreme. 1 As true oomedians, Messrs. Baker and Farron are equaled by few actors who enjoy a much wider reputation. Cer? tainly to aU lovers of mirth and fan in last night's audience they afforded the highest enjoyment The whole troupe deserve general commendation and pa? tronage, and we take pleasure in be? speaking far them huge andienoes wher? ever they may perform. The lateness of the hour at which we write prevents us from giving the particular features ot the play an extended notiee. The whole aflair was wall oonduoted, and was tho? roughly enjoyed. '? *3jmt What You Want at this Season. - Mrs. Hoffman, near the Phoenix office, baa some of the most delightful and aea sonable articles to be obtained?green peas, strawberries and other eurly garden productions; lemons, oranges, apples, cranberries, raisins, etc.; Bologna sau? sages and other necessaries, which the polite attendants will be pleased to fur? nish. Desthuotivk Cotton Fike in Cham-i lotte.?A fire, broke out. yesterday morning, in a quantity of cotton stored in tho cotton press at the depot in Char- | lotte, by which about 2,500 bales were destroyed, together with the depots of tho Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta and the North Carolina; the joint depot escaped. The loss is estimated at over $300,000, $100,000 insured. The wind was blowing a perfect gale at the time, and it was feared that the flames would extend to the town, but fortunately it was stopped. Tho firemen of this city were anxious to render assistance, and Mayor Alexander telegraphed to the Mayor of Charlotte, tendering them aid if neces? sary. The following answer was re? ceived : CiiAnbOTTE, N. C, April 16, 1875.

A Festive Widow -How She Haikko Bank Checks.?The gay and festive damsel who victimized one of our city banks, a few weeks ago, has been stir? ring up the Georgia bankers. An ex? change says: ? Shortly after the Louisville drawing, it was reported that a widow lady at La grand prize. The LaO range Reporter announced that a lady named Jordan, from Texas, had stopped a few days at the hotel, and that she was the fortunate widow, according to Madam.; Rumor. She is described as a prepossessing blonde, between thirty-fivo and forty years of age, dressing well, with all the appearance of a lady in her bearing. About the 25th of March last, she visited Newnan, stopping at the Jeff. Davis House, and soon alter meandered to the First National Bank there, where she met the urbane cashier, L. J. Hill. She purchased a check for eight dollars and one for nine dollars und seventy-live cents. So elegant was she in] her man ners, that neither the cashier nor teller. Hurry Fisher, suspected any mischief brewing. Therefore, when she informed them that she was purchasing the checks to send to a friend in Texas, and placed them in au envelop in their presenoe. they did not suspect deception on the part of so innoceut ami demure a per? sonage. Mrs. Kmma J. Jordan, us she culled herself in Newnan. next visited Atlanta, where she visited two of our bankers and succeeded iu "doing them" hand? somely. She raised the eight dollar check by adding the letter "y"to "eight," i and was so careful that after making a I cipher after the figure eight in one cor? ner, with a flue pen, she traced the eight > over again to correspond with the cipher. The clever ami popular cashier of one j of our popular banks paid her the $80 on it, by which she netted S72 clear. The check for$9.75 she raised by adding tho letters "ty" to "nine," and making the figures as iu the other. The cashier of another popular bank shelled out the $90.75 to her, by which she netted $81.75. She endorsed the checks on the hack "Mrs. S. J. Kvans." The checks were sent on to the Fourth National Bank of New York, who returnod them to tho First National Bank at Newnan. Here the "trick" was discovered for the first lime. The amounts first stated -"S8" and "59.75"?were entered on the stubs. The question arises, who loses the $153.75 Mrs. Emma J. Jordan, alias S. J. Evans, obtained? .I. ? ? > IasT op New AnveTrrisEMENrs. Opera House Baker and Forron. O. A C. R. R. ?Round Trip Tickets. Hotel Abkivals. April 17, 1875. f'o lumbia Hotel?X. Weiller, N. Y.; John F.

The position of our Government with reference to Mexico seems to be this: In 1872-3, a border commission iuvesti fated the matter of damages received by Vxans from Mexican raiders, and after taking over 1,000 depositions, they found that the claims for compensation amounted to $49,000,000, of whioh $44, 600,000 were for cattle raids. The Mexi? can Government, on the other hand, re? cently sent a commission to examine the same'matter, and have reported that the American claims are immensely ex? aggerated, and that most of them bud been put in by part ies who own no cat tie. The commission was composed ot throe Mexioan lawyers, and a feature of their report was that they endeavored to whitewash the desperado Cortina, There being no longer any dqubt that ?taring is hero, a Detroit lawyer, yester? day, commenced to write a Fourth of Jiiiy oration* and will soon be ready to correspond with committees, Although he didn't work ovor two hours yesterday, he got along to the point where the orator always raises his right hand and says: "The blood of those who fought at Bun? ker Hill still nourishes the soil from whioh patriots spaing."
