The State Bond Case. Our esteemed ooteuipory of the xVeics and (Amrt< r, speaks thus of the legal proceedings the above case : The return.of Comptroller lloge to the petition of Morton, Bliss & Co. for a writ of mandamus to compel him to levy a tax fer the payment of the interest on the publicflebt is a strong paper, and, to avo iloiiwtncff^a nnnnln. II1U UUplVlV^plUUUi UWUVUDV4HWH VVUV.W sively that the Supreme Court cannot lawfully grant the writ for which application is made, lu general terms the Comptroller denies that it is his duly to ascertain and determine tho rate of taxation; argues that the judgment of the Court, if had, would be vain and nugatory; and dcelares that the bonds upon which the petition is based were not lawfully hypothecated and sold, and that a large portion of them were issued without warrant of law. This is meeting the question squarely; the more especially as the Comptroller General, in his return, distinct ly charges that bonds of the State, to the amount of $7,191,700, are not a valid debt of the State and are outstanding without authority of law. It is asked, therefore, that the writ do-not issue ' until an investigation sliall first be had to ascertain what portion t\F qmnnmit* nnKliii dnhf. fiSI . V. f - 7 327) subsists as the valid debt of* the State.' " The Union-Herald and Ourselves. Our cotemporary objects to the use of the word x'twaddle" as applied by us to one of its editorials, last week. We selected the ? - - word as most apt to express our moaning, and as inoffeusive a term as could be used, rightly to characterize the subject. We will not hero fcpeat the offeuse, but what in ail candor,"docs anybody call tho following, which we copy from the Herald's response ? ' The honest, the true and the good," alias the ''wealth, virtue and intelligence," alias tho "F. F. V.'s,v alias the -'old regime alias the "outs," alius the "stay outs," happens to be just tho trouble?rthe deus es nuichina of the situation. Yod cannot mix oil and wator, and you ought not to mix whiskey and water. They are?the oil and the corn and the wine and the salt of the earth?"Angels and min inters of grace, dc.* fend us 1" They are out of place and power. < and, therefore, tbe Yineynrd in broken, the ^ . laborers are lepers and castaways, and the grapes are sour, unmistakably sour. Human nature is full of error, and the just man falls seven times a Ay, but the uhonest, the true [ and the good," what of them ? The Millerites* have appointed a.d&y to asoend. When will others do likewise ? . ' ' The Jfrrahl disavows the purpose of cob- ' tribuling.to the* elevation of General Grant to a royal throne. Thie ii the very thing we comptamed of. JTherd1 Is no argument used by' the advocates of a third term that docs not more strongly support the establishment of a kingdom for General Grant. Now if this bo the thing aimed at, it is due to truth and mauhood to oouie out with it,'?and let us-lookit flquarelv in the face. Tons, the proposition naa uo suwu u'ucvuo uinu ?o w frighten us froui its examination. We frankly confess that from certain points of view which we are compelled to occupy, it is not without its attractions. By preference and by education we are republicans of the Jeffersonian school, and a monarchy is not the thiug that wedesire. in itself. But if we are to have an absohttc government with all power . vested in a Congress that camps outside the Constitution and controls its own 'member ship and emoluments, and an executive i of power wielded in accordance with the ! equally unrestricted, and alt this machinery i purposes of selfish, unscurupulouS, sectional . and malignant party leaders, who, like the ! . H'-rald, mock at **th9 honest, the truo and the good," then then wo prefer u Monarch ' of the jmrplr, rather that! the tyrant of a par- j ty' ' " - - ' ' ' , This is one view of the subject, but there j arc many others. Seme qnite worthy of the consideration of the llirufd's wealthy . friends in their Northern homes. HI ^ Hcury H ard Brcrlier. This popular preacher of philosophical i platitudes and sensational sermons on passing topics, has for some Vitne been the sub.1 jeet of circumstantial charges of licentious j practices of thv most corrupt and degraded kind. For* circulating these stories tho 11...11 nr. iinoli flflrl fllO PMclf. ' >> OOUIIUI1 Viauiii nui , brained (Jeorge Francis Train, were indicted and imprisoned. A correspondent of tlio * Tri/iiihc, in the issue of May 30th, endeavors to stem tho tide of opinion running against the so-called Rev. gentleman, substantially, as follows: . * ' The writej 3ays it is high time that the torrent of slander against Henry Ward Becchor be arrested. The writer has in his possession a copy of a disavowal of all the charges and imputations against Beecher ever made by (leury (J. Boweu. He theu gives a copy of the disavowal m full, which the Tribune publishes. It is signed by I Ho wen, Tilton and Beecher, under date of April 2d, 1872, and begins as follows :."We three uien, earnestly desiring to remove all causes of offence existing between us, real or fancied, and to make a Christian reparation for the injustice done, or supposed to be doho, do declare and covenant' each to the other as follows," &c. It then recites that Bowcn, having given credit, perhaps without consideration, to tales or inuendoes affecting Beecher, now feels that he did him wtong. He, therefore, disavows all charges and imputations that have been attributed to him (Bdwen) as having been made by him against Beecher, and declares that he knows nothing which shonld pre vent him from extending to Beecher bis most cordial friendship, confidence and Christian fellowship. Tilton follows, next and agrees that he will never again repeat by word of mouth, or otherwise, any allegations, imputations or inucndoes against Beecher. . Beecher's declarations closes the document. He says he puts the past forever out of sight and memory; he deeply regrets the cause of suspicion, jealousy and estrangement which have been between them." FOR THE JOURNAL. Mr. Editor : "History repeats itself," is a reflection so often suggested, to the thought; ful and observant, as to have passed into an axiom. For some repetitions we may fervently aspire, for others wc may well exclaim "procvl," and pray the intervention of "the clods of the valley." I know, Mr. Editor, that you will sympathize with the aspirations I have recently experienced and been thrilled by, and I love our old town and people so well that I desire to share with them also, although I must touch upon grounds almost too delicate and private for intrusion, but good thoughts and sentiments arc too precious to be hoarded up in seltish exclusiveuess and never diminish by dividing. Not long since I heard the name of "Edward . Anderson" given at the Sacred Font, m oneofthe churches of this town, to a sweet little infant, and but yesterday, my heart overflowed with gushing streams of emotion as, at the same holy place, a young "James Willis Cantey," was "signed with the sign of the tho cross." These names are historic here, an^. will I not be pardoned the use of this introduction to a matter of history and public interest ? Thirty years have "rolled into the abyss of time" since Dr. Edward H. Anderson' passed from among- us?full of years and honors. For over forty years he had been eminent and beloved in professional and social life in,our old town. A ripe scholar, a skillful physician, a patriotic citizen and a most accomplished gentleman, he was the peer of any ortfi ont hat long roll of noble men who gave tone, character and reputation to Camden society during the first half of the century! IDs influence was all-pervading darntrt 4W motive life here and the good lie did diaj nut wi'fi IHttt, but lives after him." Twenty-five years?mingled of sunshine and storm?have swelled the past since "James Willis^antey, jr.," welled out his pure young life on the heighls of Chapultepec?a mere boy in years, but "In all the elements" a man who had already added glory to an honored name?gentle, guileless, i loving, pure, brave and true and honest? , well had he right to be "without fear" as he was "without reproach." While . memory lasts there are some of us who will ever hear that name with tenderest emotions and will teach our boys that it was the synonym of "Ilonor," "Virtue," "Truth." Survivors of the past of old Camden ! Descendants of the honored dead, are there no lessons here for you ? Shall the future, how crowdiDg upon us, give us the presenco of such nam:s and scores of others like them in worth, aud none of the great influences which built up this town to its former eminence. Can sych names be worn without emulation and high aspiration leading to high performance ? Call t the roll my friends, of those noble names "who were of Camden from 1812 to 18G5. Drop a tear over departed worth? but do not despair- cheer up?call again the new roll of young life with the old names growing up around up. These names are repeating themselves?they will bring back from the school of adversity a high training which will enable them to achieve as their fhthers did. and will again win high place fur the honored old town. Let xls appreciate our disastor9, but nevor succumb to despair. "Brave hearts, gird yc for the fray, Nor yield your m>u1s to Sorrow, Clouds nii<l dnrkness shroud to-day, . But victory comes to-morrow." Amicitja. From reliable data it is ascertained that the total umount of cotton seized by the civil and military officers of the 1'nitcd States, cnuting under the head of captured and abandoned property, was 1(JG,000 bales. < )f this 10,000 bales were released and balance sold, gross proceeds being $43,000,000. Of this the Secretary of the Treasury refunded claimants ?f>,000,000, expenses 89,000,000, miscellaneous 82,0U0.000, leaving as net proceeds $26,000,000. Suit has been brought in the Court of Claims tor 92,000 bales of which thcro have been rejected or diaiiiiMsedclaims for 25.000 bales. This leaves ns yet unclaimed 80,000 bales.

But, assuredly, '.f their coun | trymou are in trouble, there are plenty ol I Africans by descent in this country to rein force and protect them. A writer in Chamber's Joirnol,on "Short Speeches and Curt Correspwdehce," give.a budget of anecdotes, boom of which arc fresh, and others, well?otherwise. Here are the beet of them: "An American judge once intervened in an odd *ay to prevent n waste of words. He was sitting in chambers, and Seeing, from the pics of papers in the lawyers' hands, that th first ease was likely to be hardly coutesad, ho asked, 'What is the amount in qestion? "Two dollars,' said the plaintiffs counsel. 'I'll pay it,' said the judge, hading over the money; 'call the next case. He bad not the patience of taciturn Sir ^illiam Grant, who, after listening for a coolc of days to the arguments of counsel as t the construction of an act quietly obscrved,vhen they had done, " The act is repealed " One morning a woman wns shown into D Aberncthy's room ; before he could speak,ihe bared her arm, saying ""Burn," "A poulce,'-' said the doctor.
