The following clergy were in attendance, participating in the solemn and impressive service: Revs. C C. Pinckney, James H. Elliott, Ellison Capers, Nathaniel B. Fuller, Jno. D. MeCullough, W. H.

We hope to publish a detailed account ot these solemn servioes in our next Tktaka About Colombia. A brief visit to tbe capital of the State suggests the mention of some topics that may interest oar readers. The city is still progressing towards reconstruction of the waste places which Gen. Sherman declines now to be responsible for, and many new improvements have been made in portions of the city not before built upon. The various dry goods and other stores on Main street constitute a striking feature in the newly built and beautiful structures that adorn that .grand thoroughfare, among which the most oonspicuous are those of Messrs. R. C. Shiver k Co., and W. D. Love k Co. On the hill that intersects Main street, the slope of "Taylor's Hill," the new Poetoffioe and .Federal Court House is rapidly rising. It is an elegant edifioe, constructed of the grey granite of Fairfield, pronounced to be equal for beauty and polishing oapacity to any known. It will greatly adorn this beautiful city. In. contrast with this, stands the State Capitol at the south end of the avenue. A noble building, with broad and deep foundations, rich in architectural design and workmanship, a noble specimen of man's work, but marred midway io its career by the the fortunes of war, and standing there the grim illustration and J!i: fit. Oi.i. I type 01 toe political cunumuu ui iue oiaie? hideous in its deformity. From the top of Taylor's Hill the view is : most beautiful, eepecially overlooking Syd- i .ney Park, the railroad and. the river. The : gardens are filled with abundant and beautiful flowers, and the air is redolent with , their sweet fragrance. The old Taylor mau- t sion still stands on the loftiest pinnacle ! of this flair city, sternly resisting innova- 1 tioas, and proudly disdaining the vulgarity of new paint, rejoicing in wearing the well ( worn garb of conscious integrity. Its near- < set neighbor is the glittering mansion of ' Beverley. Nash, the colored Senator from ' Richland, the Republican leader of Co- ' hunbia, whose politics seem to have prospered pecuniarily as well as most of his i neighbors'. At this point, we could not < help reflecting, the two extremes met. The j old Carolina aristocracy and its successor, the dominant negro; the latter having super- ( ficially, greatly the advantage. The greatest ] success however, seems to have been achicv- 1 ed by the white adventurers, who have ridden 1 into power and place upon the titanic shoul-? -^and lnmv ortf* mni UI VUO ^CliCl UIW^ w unviug uuu iuu^-ouifaring negroes, upon whose necks they continue to sit like the Old Man of the Sea upon that of Siobad, the Sailor. We think however, that the old man is becoming drunken with the sweet wine of prosperity and ill-gotten wealth, and the patient Sinbed is longing for release, now that he finds hie too willing friend and guide is, after all, bat an inexorable and useless burthen. On the street above the Taylor Place, stands the gubernatorial mansion of ex-Gov. R. K. Scott, whose political suu has set forever in the murky cloud of suspicion and , reproach, heaped upon him by friend and i foe alike, until now there bo none that "do bim reverence." 1 We learn that Mrs. Wright, formerly of t the Nickerson House, proposes to open it soon i u a boarding house. She is a deservedly pop- ! ular landlady, and in this most desirable 1 location, we predict for her a successful and profitable career, afler the place shall have j undergone a thorough expurgation from an- < tecedent influences. There arc uiany other 1 palatial residences in this part of the city. ' chiefly occupied by successful politicians of recent importation. They seem to be surrounded with a redundancy of luxury that i bespeaks a lavish and wasteful expenditure of money, always indicative oftbo parvenue 1 to whom it comes only at the cost of helping himself. We observo that a row of new and j handsome street lamps marked the way from i Main street, some two squares off, to the i door of one of these mansions. Who can he ' the happy Aladdin of these wonderful lumps? The principal themes of discussion in the , tity were the financial atid political lawsuits t now pending. One of the most important to the honest poor people of the State, is that just heard in the Supreme Court, involving the liability of the stockholders of the broken banks for the bills outstanding. These bills are mostly in thtf hands of the speculators who bought them up at various rates of depreciation from 2 to 10 per cent, and now claim payment in full of the unheppy stockholders many, perhaps, most of whom are widows and orphans, and other dependent people' who have lost nearly all they owned, by reason of the failure of these banks. Of other cases and their present aspect we may write in the future. We have, not indulged much in the discussion of the State finances and the corruptions of the government, chiefly be .i. J ~ /V DllKioof cause we can nut uu jusuw u; tuv and If we could, do not see how any good could be accomplished. It is enough that we have at the capital an able and watchful chronicler of events?a sort of Cerberus, who at least gives the alarm when the treasury is being robbed?wakes us up and gives us an opportunity of seeing somewhat that is going on, and so keeps us jolly, as Martin Chuzzlewit would say, while we are being plundered. As a protest against and recorder of events of this nature, all honest people should sustain the South Carolinian. A Chapee fbr Talented Yontli. Congressman Cain invites the talented youth of the State who aspire to a cadetship at West Point, to appear before an examining board at Columbia on the 13th inst. for examination touching thefr qualifications for this important position. Applicants are required to pass " a thorough examination in all the common and more advanced stuff?Vs"-*-whatever that may mean. The board consists of Judge Wright, Treasurer Cardoso and Dr. Talley. A Moat Palpable Hit. Speaking of the Western excursion of the President and his Secretaries, the associated press telegraphs as follow?: " The visit of tliaaa nrnminant nfficinlfl hM Created the best feeling among the people, who regard it as evidence that the government takes an interest in frontier affairs." Whereupon, the Tribune saya: " If the loyalty of the people accept such evidence as this, there is certainly no reason to complain of the decay of faith in the nineteenth century." Decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. In 1868, the State of Georgia enacted a law increasing the Homestead exemptions, and the Supreme Court of that State held that such enlarged exemptions were good against all debts contracted prior to 1868. The Sheriff refused to levy on certain property of a debtor, against whom judgment had been obtained on an old debt, for the reason that snch property was exempt from execution under the Homestead law. The judgment creditor asked for a writ of mandamus against the Sheriff, to compel him to make the levy. This was refused by the Judge, and the case was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. Associate Justice Swayne, of that tribunal, delivered the opinion of the Court a few day ago, reversing the decision of the Georgia Courts, holding that homestead exemptions cannot apply to pre-oxisting debts?being a violation of that clause of the Constitution cf tho Unitad States which prohibits any Stato from passing a law that impairs the obligation of the contracts. This decision in effect sustains Chics Justice Pearson, of our Supreme Court, and Judge Brooks, of the United States District Court, both of whom have decided in cases kvAnrvlif Kpm ill A FlniHMlP.ld l/ivsuguv vwv.w ....... ; elatLSP in chapter tenth of the Constitution of North Carolina, in so far as it exempted property from execution against debts contracted prcwous to tho adoption of the Constitution, is unconstitutional and void. In the case of Hill against Kestlcr, G3 North Carolina Reports, Associate Justice Rcade delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court, that the Homestead law of this State was valid against pre-existing debts, as well as those contracted after the law was passed, and this opinion was concurred in by all the Supreme Court Judges except Pearson, who filed a dissenting opinion. The language of our law is: The personal property of any resident of this State to the value of five hundred dollurs, to be selected by such resident, shall be, and is hereby, exempted from sale under execution or other final process of any Court, issued for the collection of any debt," and "every Homestead, and the dwelling and buildings used therewith not exceeding in value one thousand dollars, to be selected by the owner thereof, Ac., shall also bo exempted." In delivering the opinion of the- Supreme Court, Judge Rcade said that these exemptions were good against nil debts?old as well is new, aud that such exemptions did not impair the obligations of contracts, and there [ore were not in contravention of the Constitution of the United Spates. He argued that the law was sanctioned by the Convention that framed the Constitution, by the Legislature of the State, by the people themselves on a direct vote when they adopted the Constitution, and by the Congress of the United States which approved the Constitution. In his dissenting opinion, Chief Justice Pearson.takes the position that the language 'any debt," used in the Constitution, refers to any debt that may be hereafter contracted ?that retroactive effect is never to be given to a law, according to a settled rule of construction, unless the words admit of no other meaning?and that general and vague words 1 have never been nllowed to have that effect. If ' the words were intended to apply to old debts. ' it would be a violation of the fixed principle 1 )f common law, that all gifts and voluntary 1 conveyances of his property by a debtor are mid as against existing creditors, on the ?ronnd of fraud. And if the law-makers in- t ended to make a gift or conveyance to the < .9. debtor himself of property on the faith of 1 which he received credit, it would be fraud 1 towards existing creditors, and therefore i Judge Pearson thinks such a construction of i the language of the Constitution improper. Again, no State cau pass any law impair- i ine the' obligations of contracts. Judge , Pearson thinks one of ihe obligations of a contract consists in the means of compelling its performance, according to the laws in force at the time the contract is made?that $500 of personal exemptions, and the $1,000 value of land exempted under the Constitution, if applied to old debts, injuriously change the remedy and alter the laws in force at the time the contract was made. In other words the obligations of the contract is impaired by the Homestead exemption. And where a debtor has nothing beside his exempted property to pay a pre-existing debt, the contract cannot be enforced, and the' obligation is not only impaired, but entirely destroyed. In the course of his opinion, Pearson says: "I am aware, that in several of the States decisions Hav<^ been made sustaining Homestead laws. These cases all rest on the /*- 11 ./? 5*. it 1_ _ ianacy 01 assuming me power io mane exemptions to some extent, and then, in the idea of Legislative discretion, the amount is swelled up to thousands; and it is justified on the ground of ''keeping pace with the progress of the age"?a progress in this particular, I fear, of dishonesty and fraud. The same question came up before Judge Brooks, of the United States District Court, who held with Judge Pearson, that the exemptions in our Constitution did not apply to debts which had been made before the Constitution went into affect, but were only valid agaiust debts contracted subsequently. The case from Georgia decided in^ the Supreme Court of the United States at its present term sustains the principle mantained by Judges Pearson And Brooks, that Homestead exemptions have no re-troactive effect?that they cannot apply to contracts made Mfor^ such exemptions were adopted as the law of tho land.?Raleigh News. The following Amendment to the Bankrupt Act, passed, by the last Congress, secures the exemptions made by the State Laws, against all Debts, whether contracted prioj, or subsequent to their passage : "That it was the true intent and meaning of an Act approved June 8,1872, entitled "An Act to amend an Aot entied 'An Act to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States,' approved March 2d, 1867," that the exemptions allowed the bankrupt by. the said Amendatory Act should, and it is hereby enacted that they shall be the amount allowed by the constitution and laws of each State, respectively, as oxisting in the year 1871; and that such exemptions shall be valid against debts contracted before the passage of the said State constitution and laws as well as those contracted after the same, and agauut lions by judgement or dccreo of any State Court. ( any decision of any court rendered since the passage and adoption of such constitution I and laws to the contrary notwithstanding." ! Judge ltives, IJ. States District Judge, 1 has so construed the above amendatory act: j "Washington, April 12.?An important decision iu regard to the amendatory bankrupt act. was pronounced yesterday in the United States District Court at Lynch-1 burg, Va , by Jndgo Rives. He held that it I gave to bankrupts homestead exemptions against old as well as new debts, and against all liens of judgments in State Courts" Senator Spraque and the Columbia Canal.?The good people of Columbia, in their eager, but, as it now results, mistaken zeal, to develop the water power of the Columbia Canal, were enthusiastic when the manufacturing king of Rhode Island, Senator Spragde, accented the canal as a gill. The T AiMalnlnwA nl* finnllt Pavnlintt trkirtfi 111 JJV^lsiavui u vi uuuvu vuivuiti*! n ? ? some way, controlled this water power, cove- j nanled and agreed to deed it for all time to Senator Sprague for the nominal sum of ' $200. In addit ion to this gilt, extraordinary privileges and franchises were granted. It was expected, as a natural consequence, that Senator Spraguo would develop the water j power without any delay, and erect cotton mills. Year after year has passed, and yet no mills appear, first one pretext and' then another was urged for the delay. The condition of political affairs in the Stato was , so uncertain and legislation so disastrous that the people of Columbia were not disposed to think otherwise than that Mr. Sprague : was perhaps a prudcut man. He expended a few thousand a year in the way of preparation for the grand work which was expected to follow in due time. The citizens of Columbia desired a supply of water, and the City Council contracted to pay him $16,000 a year. The Senator is now fulfilling this j contract, which proves to him a most profitable investment, Uut there arc no factories even in prospective. Nor does the Senator even intend to build one on the line of the canal. lie tells the people so; and proposes to dispose of his investment for the sum of ?300 OOO fli* intiTGsta in Rhode Island arc so extensive that he cannot and rill nut invest any portion of his capital in developing the manufacturing interests of South (Jaro- 1 lina. This may be sharp financiering, but ! it suiacks of bad faith The canal was given j to Mr. Sprnguc for a mere trifle, with the implied, though perhaps not expressed, un- < dcrstanding that lie was to use it for cotton i factories. Under the circumstances, the'! citizens of Columbia find themselves in an embarrassing and unfortunate predicament. They will cither have to submit to Senator 1 Sprague's extortion or permit their fine wa-; ter power to go undeveloped for years to 1 come.
