To Our Pataww.
Our patrons, we ^vould warn against
being at aU surprised, or In any wiso
annoyed at receiving soon, ?. dunning
letter for. arrears of subscription or
advertising. Let nteone, suppose that
lie has boen singled or.t for an attack
.pf this sort. ^Tetar*; sending out our
accouuts very generally, and aa we
suppose that lit \vill be as convenient
.now forrthem to pay as it pleasant for
.?is to receive, we shall endeavor not to
overJootany who are in arrears.
VW?kdha!lenge any of our brethren to
sha^rbetter list of paving subscri
'beTS than ours. Sincc we resumed the
-pob\ieation of our paper, we have
'* ost comparatively a small amount by
bad debts, and our subscribers generally
are very punctual. Punctuality !
"thou art a jew'ell" In th'e printers'

TJia pharlgston Election Case in tjie
Legislature.
It ^ras the observation of a sage
^hat, "an act of parliament though it
,cannot alter the course of uature, and
juake a woman a man, may, nevertheless,
do some things which look -pretty
odd" Judge Brevard, quotes the remark
to illustrate a species of Legislative
legerdemain, on tjip part of our
own General Assembly, who, after
providing by A. A. 1791, that a mortgage
shall be regarded only a pledge,
and that ttye legal estate shall still re
.main in the mortgagor, a few years
.after by A. A. 1797, directed, that a
release of the equity of redemption
should operate as a legal conveyance.
A mortgage is either a conveyance, or
it is not. If not, it is difficult to imagino
Jiow a release of the "equity of
redemption" could impart to it a virtue
which it had not, or to give to it an
efficiency which it has not intended
to produce. #
But, had the venerable Judge lived
in our da}*, how would he have been
astonished at some of those feats ol
legislative wisdomr which aro even
surprising to us, who have to some
extent become acenstomed io their exercise
! Not many months ago, we

until it seemed good to the Iegislativ<
body, in a '-lucid interval," to restor<
him to the exercise of his functions
und to vouchsafe to his sovereign con
stituency, tho cherished rights o
which they had been deprived. 1
legislative bodj', the mere creature o
the people, presumed to deprive i
portion of that people of the Bovereigi
right by virtue of which, and reprc
8>nting which, they, themselYei
alone had the authority to excrcis
any of the functions of legislation.
,A.n act of as gr3at absurdity, and c

Corbin, who, with equal contempt c
the sovereign people, and of the role
of grammar, has introduced into th
Senate, a bill to "validato" the recen
Charleston election, and that, too, i
the face of the notorious frauds an
informalities which restrained th
,Council from granting certificates <
election to Pillsbury and his friendi

i iiu o4piem? i^uurt, nowover, ae'
termined otherwise, and directed that
a mandamusShould igsue against (hem
to declare the election. To this the
City Council made another roturp, in
which they state, that, upon exaivj-ination,
they found that Pillsbpry and
his friends have received a iftajority of
the votes cast, but that they hud roj
fused to furnish certificates of election,
on the ground that tl?e election
had been illegally conducted, and that
1 the majorities claimed were noji qf
legal volet.

should not bo attached for contempt,
in not having certified, in addition to
the return, that Mr. Billsbury and his
Aldermen had received tho largest
number of votes, also thq.t they were
thereby dnly elected Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Charleston.
Upon the hearing cf this question,
the Court ruled the return of the present
Council to be a sufficient response
to tho Mandamus.
Tho opinion ^ns announced by
Chief Justice Mogca, as follows :
"The return is a liuh&t^utiul compliance
wiih the wait.
"The allegation was that tho City
Council failed in their duly in not declaring
the election.
"That without such official declaration
the party receiving tho majority
of votes could not contcst his right to
tho office.
"The return must place him in a
position to do so.
"It makes no difference in point of
law that the City Council have failed
to insert in their return the words
duly elected.
"The return is iriade in good faith.
ana naa me same ctieot as if the words
duly elected were inserted.
"Practically it sa3Ts: We declare
the election by announcing the votes
1 cast, and that Pillsbury had the majority.
! "Pillsbury is in aa good a position
1 as if the return h^.d said he wan dulv
1 olected.
> *'Tho Court does not intend to inti"
mate anything further as to tho right
" of Pillsbury to Quo Warranto, or a9 to

J We do not understand Chief Justice

" is duly elected. If so, then tho words,
** "Tho Court does not intend to inti
1 mato anything further as to the right
f of Pillsbury to Quo Warranto, or aa tc
a rights of Citty Council,'' would b<
a "inconsistent and nonsensical."
The next prooeeding, in duo cours(

I The Letter of We. Chamberlain.
I "We append a letter of Mr. Chamberlain,
-which he has communicated
to the Charleston iVtios, for thb purpose
of corrupting the statements of
the Columbia correspondent of that
paper, in relation to his recent visit to

endorse us as fully as bo b^s been
represented to have done.' Jfis opportunities
were too limited for that. A
man who comes to-day on a railroad
train and leaves to-morrow, cannot bo
expected to know much of our past,
presont and future. \Ve only regret
that Mr. Chamberlain's visit was ho
brief, and bis sphere of observation so
restricted. Wo beliove that a longer
stay woukj have been mutually agreo'
able, that we would have been pleased
with him, and that he would have been
prepared to render tardy justice to
tlie law-abiding jmd peace-loving character
of our people. Wc complain,
and we thirds we have good reason to
complain, that we hyve been misrep'
resented, studiously misrepresented,
by those whoso interest it is to do so.
A fe\y lawless desperadoes, with whom
our people have no sympathy, have
ijeen put forth as our representatives,
and some desperate crinjes, which we
afe aijxong the first to denounce, set
forth as an iqdex of public sentiment
here. " As far as word.* go," Mr.

Columbia, S. C., Jan. 22.?I have

of this date, the statements of your
Columbia correspondent in reference
to my recent visit to Abbeville. While
I am sure your correspondent did not

still co I'pelled to say that nearly all
he has stated of my visit to Abbeville
is drawn from his own imagination,
and not from statements or expressions
of mine. What I did say, and
what I take pleasure in saying now, is
jthat personally I was treated with
Ientire civilitj"- acid kindness; that I

Warning to Cotton pi&nters. ,
Our exchanges aboum| in sugges- (
tions to the planters against the clangor
of being sednccd into planting ]
largely of cotton to the neglect of (
provisions. Almost any One will ,
admit that a small crop will produce (
as much as a large one, but how few
are willing to act up fully to the rule
which sound pojicy dictates.
The Savannah Republican, v/hilst
takinrr iasuo with a writnr n-hn ntfi-iK.
, -a ' : "
1 utes tho present high prices to a
I plethora in tho money market, concurs
j fully in the conclusions to wljich he
! would lead the planter :
I " Wc cordially concur with tho
: writer ihat tho Southern planter,
1 under no circumstances, should allow
; himself to bo seduced by the high
i prices of cotton into the folly of negj
looting the production of an abundant
| supply of provisions. But wo think
I he is unibrtunato in ascribing the
! present high price of tho staple to 'a;
I moneyed plothora,' and to more ' speculative
demand' at tho North.
> .
It is a notorious fact that money
has been tight throughout the cotton
season thus far, and that cotton has
gone up in spite of it. It is unnecessary
to look elsowhcro for a causo of
appreciation when increased consumption,
the present reduced stocks in
Liverpool and the United States, with
pretty reliable evidence that tho crop
of 1868 will prove a short one, arc!
ready data to account for it. Nor is j

greenbacks, how it is to go down in j
the face of their depreciation, so confidently7-predicted
l>y the writer.
Our own opinion is that, without
serious political or financial disturbance,
American cotton is bound to
maintain a good price for somo timo to
come. Owing to the scarcity and derangement
of our labor, we doubt if
the crop will reach as high as three
millions of bales in tho next five-or
'eight years, and hence a fair price
| must be commanded in the market,
j other things being equal. It is folly
j though to bo striving after a large
| crop of cotton when a small one will
I bring quite as much money, and leave
1' tho planter ample time to produce an
j abundance of provisions, and, at the
I! same time} add yearly to hit? personal
comforts and the value of his l^adyd
' cstato."
