JAMDEN, SOUTH-C The Mandamus Case. | From the Union Herald, (Republican.) j The Supreme Court of the State has issued the writ prayed for by three of the parties applying for it. The opinion is by Judge Wright; Judge Moses concur-1 ring and Judge Willard dissenting. The Treasurer has appealed to the United States Supreme Court, on the ground that the "certificates of indebtedness" arc bills of credit. The questions involved in this suit are of great public importanco, and we, therefore, desire to direct attention to them. The motive that induced some of tho | parties to procure the passage of acts by the Legislature authorizing the issue of "certificates of indebtedness" to them, receivable for or redeemable out of the taxes, is not very creditable to them.? They saw that the amount of tax levied to pay their claims would be insufficient to pay all of the claims. They were^ borttfnrrt rlnforminnd fn mnl'P fllirfi of theirs, without any regard of what may become of the rest, and they resorted to this device of the issue of "certificates of indebtedness," and thus be actually paid in full six or nine months before the tax is collected that was levied to pay them, the "certificates" being receivable for all taxes. The Treasurer, perceiving the injustice of this measure, by which those who held claims for legislative expenses for the last and several previous sessions?printing bills and such other claims?endeavored, by the issue of "certificates," to obtain an advantage over the claims of the public institutions, the free schools and the salaries of the State and county officers?who J I ?J : it I were not auinorizea zo receive ceruu* cates"?refused to issuo them, on the ground that such action would be unconstitutional in several respects. First, because the tax for deficiencies was levied to pay ull dcfcicncics, and not some only ; and, if insufficient for the purpose of liquidating all the claims against it, then some pro rata distribution should bo 1 adopted; but if it is to bo confined to some, then lot those be the most deserving and not the most unworthy. Second, the amount of "certificates" authorized to be issued was in excess of the deficiency tax out of which alone they were redeemable; and if issued and receivable for all taxes, as they were by law, would, therefore, have necessarily to be redeemed out of taxes levied for en-1 tirely different purposes. If this is not a violation of that section of the Constitution which requires a tax to be applied to the purposes for which it was levied, then j we certainly don't know what is. The levying of a tax is a contract with the i people who pay it; if they perceive that tho object for which it is to be levied is an unlawful and unconstitutional one, they can successfully resist its payment in the courts; but if the tax is to be obtained from them under one pretext, and then, after it is obtained (or by this device of the issue of "certificates of indebtedness" in anticipation of its reception,) diverted to another and entirely different purpose, then it is not only a violation of the Constitution, but a shabby trick in the bargain, by which that violation can be temporarily concealed from those who do not give the subject that consideration which it deserves. But there is another constitutional objection which is, if possible, more important. The Treasurer refused to issuo these "certificates" because they were "bills of credit," which the United States Constitution forbids any State issuing.? The grounds of this objection were so ably stated by the Treasurer's counsel that it is not necessary to repeat them here. We would call the attention of the public, j hnsrover fn smother nsnect of the CUSe. 'Certificates of indebtedness" have all tho evils of a depreciated currency. When they woro issued last December, although they were receivable for taxes at the tiuio of their issue, their purchasing power, as compared to greenbacks, was at a discouut of 25 to 50 per cent. Persons who have : to deal with tho State charge, on a t/rrmback butts more than what tho work really deserves, on account of the delay and uncertainty of payment; but if they havo to contract on the basis of "certifi cates of indebtedness," which can be ex ' changed for greenbacks only at a discount of 50 per cent., it will bo perceived at' once that tho expenses of the State government will have to bo doubled, and, therefore, the taxes will have to bo doubled, also, and we shall havo in addition j all the other evils which havo invariably attended an unsound and depreciated currency. All intelligent persons have read of the French assignats. the continental shinplaster, tho Austrian paper monoy, and last, but not least, the Confederate currency. Let the ignorant but honestly disposed members of our Legislature be | I I i ill cn ? : AROLINil, THURS persuaded by the shewd and intelligent rascals among them tht they can have as much money as they rant by just ordering u printing press to urn it out as fast as possible, then the begnningof the end, if not the end itself, wi.' indeed have come. There was also anoher important question involved in this oso, which we regret very much to seo tha the court has not decided upoa. It is.his : The respective powers and fntotions of the three department# of oor gvernment?the executive, legislative ani judicial. The lo gislative department las hitherto assumed unchallenged a certain kind of saprcmnoy of the other two. Tiis feeling was inspired and cncouragedduring the last two years by some unscrupulous demagogues, who found that depigment more conve nient for their purpoe?. We take the grouni that each of these departments is suprcntf within their own jurisdiction. The legslature has no right | to require the Treasure to perform an unconstitutional act, andif they do, it is his duty to refuse to do it. It is the duty of the court to decide up?n the constitutionality of legislative emctments, and set them aside when they violate the Constitution. With this visw entertained by him, the Treasurer rtfused to issue the "certificates" for the fdlowing reasons, in addition to those alreatty stated : That the legislrftivc certificates of 1870?'71 and 1871-'72, authorized to be paid in "cer. tificates of indebtediess," wero clear frauds, having been issued in excess of the amount authorized by hw, as will bo seen by reference to the appropriation acts of the respective years, and also having been paid in excess of the amount authorized by law, as will be seen by reference to tho records of the treasury. When such a plain statement was made that was so susceptible of proof, it seems to us that it ought to have been referred to a jury. The court, however, decided that the simple fact that the certificates were enumerated so that they could be identified was sufficient to make them valid, and afford grounds why they should be singled out .from the others of precisely the same j character. We can understand ihis only : on the presumption th^.thc court thought that was one way in which they would stop the issuo of legislative certificates now for these back years, for we cannot see in what other respects they differ from those that were enumerated. This was certainly no compliment to the officers who issued legislative certificates. We would like to know in what respects fraudulent legislative certificates differ from fraudulent conversion bonds. Some of our democratic contcmnorar'ics are verv w r earnest in advocating the payment of these certificates, which are in tjio hands of those who they are pleased to call innocent third parties. Hut when it comes to the payment of conversion bonds in tho bands of innocent third parties, they are decidedly opposod. We do not admire their inconsistency; we pronounce them both?outstanding legislative certificates and conversion bonds?equally fraudulent. Wo express no opinion on the innocency of tho third parties ; they may or may not be, so far as we know?we speak only of the legal character of the papers themselves. We would my, in conclusion, that wc regret that the court could not ?cc its way clear to assist these executive officers, who arestriving by every constitutional method, to stem the corruption in this State. Comets.?Comets aro not exactly cal culatod to inspiro in the human heart feelings of confidence as to our general safety; in all times, they have been regarded with dread; particularly was this the case a century and a half ago, when a renowned astrologer predicted that a comet would appear on Wednesday, 14th of October, 1712, and that tho World would be destroyed by fire on the Friday following. His reputation was high, and the comet appeared. A number of persons got into the bouts and barges on the Thames, thinking the water was the safest pluco. South Sen and India stock fell. A captain of a Dutch ship threw all his powder into the river, that the ship might not be endangered. At noon, after tho comet bad appeared, it is said more than one hundred clergymen ferried over to Lambeth, to request that proper prayers might bo prepared, there being none in tho church service. People beliovod that tho day of judgment was at hand, and some acted on this belief, sure as if some temporary evil was expected. There was a prodigious run on the bank, and Sir (Jilhcrt Ilcathcotc, at that time head director, issued orders to all the fire offices in London, requiring them to keep a good look out and have a particular eye upon the Hank.of England. "Do not sing that song again,'' is the I sarcastic title of a new song. I I T7 DAY, SEPTEMBER The Natick Cobbler on the Galena Tanker and a Third Term. From'th^ Hew York Hernlrt. ,'l <* ?h As a represeajjrtive of the Herald was passing along Park row yesterday afternoon he observed' a portly looking gentleman just ctoRdfrtg the roadway, bearing a strong resemblance, as he thought, to the Vice Presjd^at.y Waiting a moment until the gentlefmatfhad stepped on the sidewalk. all dottbd was set at rest by the mo tual recognfti(jh.i:'which ensued. Hon. Henry Wflson^fbr it was he, as soon as lie caught sighyif the Herald representative, immediately held out his hand, and the usual interchange of congratulation and compliant "was interchanged. Mr. Wilson now shows scarcely the faintest sign of his'lpte sickness, and in answer to the inquiries addressed to him upon that subject, stated that he was beginning to feel once more like himself and to experience the pleasures of almost perfect health. With care and attention to his system he thought a few months would sco him without anything but a recollection of his late attack. To a stranger Mr. Wilson appears Tike a gentleman farmer just arrived from the country, with a portly form and bronzed face?in fact, the very picture of overflowing health. * . f ? VIEWS ON TltE THIRD TERM. After conversing on affairs of no public importance, the topic gradually changed to that of politics. The question as to whether the President had any idea of a third term was naturally the one that should be first discussed, and in this connection Mr. Wilson was most franlc and outspoken. He gave it as his most decided opinion that Gen. Grant had not the smallest idea of running for the Piesidendcncy for a third time. Neither did he think that President Grant encouraged any such thought. Doubtless thero are many officeholders and parties who were desirous of getting into public positions who would prefer to see the President remain at the haajl of affairs for another four years, but, <on the other hand, there is a large mass, composed of the best men in tho Republican party, who would entirely and utterly oppose any such do*igu. " In fact," said Mr. Wilson, " I for one should vote against him, for I think it has coipe to be understood and accepted by the. American people that it would bo both unwise and impolitic to allow any man to fill the office for more than two terms., So much so is this the case, that, it, as it were, forms a tacit clause of the Cqfystitution. "There hus J^yer yet been a President who has been continued id office more than eigh^j yeajp, and I sincerely trust thero never yi||# be. There are, I Lave not the slightest doubt, many men from all parts of the Union who, for their own selfish ends, will endeavor to persuade Gen. Gra^t to seek a renomination; but I, for one.lbelievo that the President will . ' iji iio.n positively decline to allow his name to be put up before th^e convention. Of course Gen. Grant is peculiar in somethings, in that ho does not communicate bis i a. thoughts very J'r^ely upon what he intends doin?, but I am informed on the very best authority, outside of putting the direct question to him, that he intends to have nothing whatever to do with trying to obtain another term of office, but that' ! he rather looks forward to the time when ho will retire from his onerous position of chief executive officer of the U. States, lie, however, is qndoubtcdly very stroug with tho pajrty;. byt for all that, I think, were he to be renominated, he would be b.vdly beaten, fur, as I have previously said, the people would, in uiy.opinion, riso up irrespective of party and vote against him. He would, of course, have the support of a largo section of the Republicans, but that would 1 not be sufficiently strong to elect him.? The people will protest in this way against the perpetuation of an office to one man; for should any President be elected a third term, there would be nothing to prevent his seeking a fourth and even a fifth, which I think to bo contrary to the provisions of the constitution, although not expressly set forth in so many words.? There are other good men in the Republican party who aro quite competent to fill the position, and there is no condition of affairs now existing which requires that the present Executive shall be continued in office. As to lVcsident Grant being the only mnn that could be put forward likely to consolidate the strength of the party, and insure a victory in the next campaign, I am not of that way of thinking, for there arc, 1 should say, at the present time, at least a dozen candidates ! who could be fortnd who would command the respect, and obtain the support of the great body of tho Republicans. POSSIBLE CANDIDATES. " At the present moment, however, it|is almost too soon to form any opinion as to Ill # 3, 1874. who the selected standard bearer of our party will be. Speaker Blaine is, I understand, likely to be pressed for nomination. He is unquestionably qualified to fill the Presidential chair, and he would also inspire the confidence of all ranks. He has a large public experience and has besides a good record. Mr. Washburnc, our Minister to Paris, is another candidate who I think will be greatly talked of before the final action is taken. I think he would, if chosen, be a tower of strength and would poll an exceedingly large vote. He is, I think, as popular a man as can be found, and justly so. His action and services rendered during the late war in France have commended him most strong ly to the gratitude and admiration of the American people. He has shown great ability and firmness of character under most trying circumstances, which clearly indicate his fitness to occupy the highest office in the gift of the people, and to fill the position with honor to bimself and the nation. He has not been much talked of as yet, but, as I have just said, it is my opinion that long before the proper time comes he will be looked upon as the coming man. There are many others who are spoken of, but I would just now prefer not to go into the discussion of the question more deeply than I have done." Gov. Moses* Trunk. [From the New York Herald.] A curious story, says the Petersburg Index, has come to our knowledge in connection with the individual who is now Governor of South Carolina by the grace of Federal influence and Senegambian suffrages. Mr. F. J. 3Ioses, Jr., was^marricd in the year 1859, or just before the war, and, while en route to the North on his bridal tour, had occasion to pass through this city. At that time Judge Joynes was president of the Petersburg n M 1 ^ r m TT T> 1 itauroaa uompany, ana uiaj. x. n. oonu was auditor. Well, it seems that Moses, on his way back home, lost ono of the various trunks.that constituted part of bis paraphernalia, or, rather, of the outfit of his bride, for it appeared that the con. tents of the missing receptacle consisted mainly of Mrs. Moses' apparel. Great and continued fuss was made on tho subject, and ono would have thought from the anxiety of Moses to get the trunk back that it contained cither bank notes of large denominations or love letters, or something clso of rare aud exceptional value. However, though every effort was made to recover the lost property, the trunk still oontinucd to turn up missing, notwithstanding all inquiries and all searches after it. Finally Moses rendered a statement of contents as remembered, and with it a claim for compensation in the amount of 6550. The estimate was regarded as excessive, but, to avoid any appearance of inflicting injury on a passenger for which redress was denied him, the bill was approved by the president, and duly paid by the treasurer of tho company. Not long after, in the quietest way in tho world, tho trunk turned up, and was found to have suffered no damage whatever in tho course of the long wanderings. Mr. Moses was communicated with promptly and given to understand that ho could return the money and get his trunk back, with its contents uninjuAd and intact. Mr. Moses replied that since he had received the money and duplicated a3 far as desirable tho articles lost, he rather concluded that he would not return the money, and that the company was welcome to keep the trunk. The company kept tho trunk and opened it.? The contents were found to be laces, rib^ bons, and the nameless and numberless little ornaments of a woman's wardrobe, for which $550 was regarded as a very exorbitant estimate. So the company de teruiincd not to soil the articles, as they ^evidently would not bring one-fourth of the sum given in penalty for them, and ' Mr. Moses was again informed that the company hoped ho would relieve them of a piece of property worthless to everybody except his wife. The offer was thus left open, and in the meantime the war began. When the market value of laccs, ribbons and other femalo doings and decorations of that kind had gone up about fourfold, and the value of paper money had gone i down in about ?he same proportion, Mr. Moses appears on the scene again, closes with the offer of the company, regains his trunk with its pretty freight, and pays back tlio $550?in Confederate money. It was a sharp trick, and gave evidence at that early day of the talents for dishonesty which were to make the nauio of Moses thesynoyuiof infamy the whole country over. This is an o'er true tale, and was given us by a gentleman who knew the facts as reported. The dates and full par ticulars could have been furnished, but it suffices to narrate the simple story and to afford particulars if the truth is doubted, l 3 \ * v ; : 5 if * ? ? . 9 i __i __ NUMBER 52 Henry VVardBeecher Defies Tt: w He Ever (Ilamored for th* T-r*\r " or Jefp.

It is estimated that in 1873, the amount of liabilities of pc. ;, who failed in this country was over j ' 000,000. The fearful consequences of t panic of September last were shown 1 >' the fact, that in the previous year, ti e amount of the failures had b^B scum -h . ; over $121,000,000, so. that the misfor ^tc was more than doubled. 5,183 pers \ firms and corporations contributed to i 3 financial distresses of last year.
