EiiitoHs: -The ('Italic.tou papers ! eougi nlul*le themselves and tlie lip country j upon the recent change of schedule on the ! tko-itli Carolina Uailroad* by which the sea- ' board and the upper part of the Stale above Columbia are brought into closer coiniiittui-1 cation. We confess that it is a subject ol , ngi-.it illation to tho-c immediately inter-j sled Rut there is another side to the quostiou to us who live Fast of the Wateree. j 'Ik# interests of Camden and the itii1rounding [ country are ignored, as they always have j been, by the railroad authorities. lJy the veccnt change, we now connect with the j .?ortk three times a week, which it a won- [ dual ill concession Travel* rs leaving here; tor Northern points can actually gel away | n Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays, at 7:-.d A. M.. au 1 arrive at Columbia at noon ! the same day, with the blessed privelego ot ivm lining over iu that city twelve hours, in other words, they will find themselves thirty miles South of Camden just sixteen uu-i a halfhour* after leaving Home. neiorc they begiu iheir journey to iheir destinatiou. I:i meivlimi ot Cam lm has a note ?lu? in New Vork on a Thursday, he has to remit on the Saturday before. or it will be too late. Hat a merchant ol?Columbia can mail his remittance on a Tuesday night, thereby enjoying two working days more of grace. This, to a moneyed corporation like the South Carolina Kailroad, is a trilling affair: but, to a hard-tip merchant in Camden, we look upon it m a different light, lust think ot it?a town with a population f nearly three thousand people and sixty stores some ef them doing a large and ex teuiive bit-dues*, shipping some Jo.O(H) bales of Cotton to Charleston annually, and Lavig^ ? correspondingly large up freight, having actually lim e mails a week. North, it thaw* the lioeralily and wisdom of those iu authority on our road?who will tell you tiiat they d?> not want our branch, that it is an ineubu - upon the main trunk, and that they would be uuly too glad to get rid ot it. Far mot Ii they had an opportunity wheu the charter expired in lSUS. Ami what did they do ? l?id they turn us loose 1 Not a bit of it. We are still under their iron heel, ami there we will remain until we seek an outlet In utioihwr direction. They suppose that we ar? bound hand :i^i-1 foot to llieut. And so xve are tor the present. Cut their whole aim seems to be to destroy the goose that lays the golden egg They think they have no competition. Cut the merchants of Camden know to their sorrow, that .Monroe and Charlotte are drawing off a large proportion of the cotton which we formerly received lYwiu Lancaster and Chesterfield. It is only ui mid-winter, when the roads lo those peint* are impassable, that the little cotton remaining unsold liuds its way to our iuar ket. If the South Carolina Hail road will give u> the same facilities in freights eujoyeJ l?y Columbia and Augusta, we can successfully compile with Monroe and Charlotlo. We would be able to bring cotton from the vicinity of Sumter, Tituuionsville, May "Ville, Bishopville ? trout Western Darlington. Chesterfield and Lancaster?increasing our receipts by five or ten ihottsaud bales annually, with a proportionate increase of up freight. We only a?k for fair play, (jive us that, and Camden will once more rank among the thriving towns of the State. But continue with three Northern mails a week, throw every impediment in our way, an I we cannot hope to keep pace with the flourishing toivus arouud us.

VMI (JaZETIE. 1 L3STH) GAZBT^ conflict of jurisdiction. ] A-question of great interest, and one ' which affects the interest of the people I of all the Slate?, involving as it <loes the fund amenta! principles of our gov j eminent, has recently been decided by the Supreme Court of North Carolina, 'flu question was, whether the Slate Courts have authority to try United Statqs officers for violations of State luw sfor whether they are to ho tried by the Federal Court. Tho case was that of the State of North Carolina vs. ffos" kins, a revenue collector, who was in dieted for coiiiuilliug an assault and battery upon a citizen. He applied for the pcuroval of tho case to the Federal Court upon tho ground that the ct)eu?c was committed by luui while in the dis~ charge of his duties as a Federal ofli cor. The motion was granted, whereupon.un appeal was made to the Supreme Court which decided a>* hbuve stated. Wc clip from the Charlotte Observer tlic following eouiuicuts upon the dcci sioti of tlio Court ; Wluie this opinion cannot be receive! otherwise than with the most profouud regret by every man who would see reserved to the States what little of individual majesty has been left theni by the onward strides of Federal agression, still it cutties not as a surprise to those who have studied the composition of the body which rendered it. KepuRIieaii in the fullest souse uf the term, law with it has ever, in nil ninterinl rases, I beeu rendered subservient to politics. This was notably the ease in 1K70, when Kirk nml his brigade of cut-throuts exhausted the judiciary, ami if those days of "war's shrill alarum," when the lives and liberties ot scores of our best men were involved, '.his court hesitated aud then refused to assert the dignity which had been vested in it by the constitution, it was not to be supposed that it would do so in these 'piping times of peace" when only a principle seemed to be tu i|Uestion. But however little the surprise may have been, the thoughtful patriot can not but coutejpplnte this decision with alarm when lie realize* its full scope and effect. It amounts to a nullification of the State laws so far as revenue officers nre concerned. It | is trud that tlie court defines tlie dtnerenee between an officer nciinp under the color of his office, aud the same officer acting in his capacity as a citizen, But in etfeel this is a distinction without a difference. How many of these ofllcets will there be who will not avail themselves of the advantage which the technicality affords them ? How many of them indicted for any barbaiity, committed underuny circumstances, will swiftly make affidavit that in the perpetration of the ucl for which he is sought to be tried lie was acting.in discharge of his duty, and "tinder color of his office ?" and thus secure a removal of the case to a Federal court, which is organized to acquit liitu, and to convict the unfortunate man who is arraigned charged with a violation of the revenue laws. But this is not the whole effect of the decision, nor yet the worst. It is a partial breaking down ot the middle wall of partition which the trainers of our system of government erected bet ween the States and the general government, in order to protect the former from the centralization of nil power in the latter. The general government is but tbe aggregation of many inferior goiyuirneuts, uud it was never intended lliul AtATealuio, ouo. it Uohihu ?* ttlVJ erutiou, should turn ami swallow up the very particles which form it, and to assume to itself all power; yet these are the tendencies of the dominant parly, uod we tiud our Supreme Court in the matter in question yielding to this tendeury und contributing its mora! and legal weight to lite abolition of what is left of the sovereignity of the Slates. I'be case upon which litis decision is based, will be carried to the Supreme Court of the United Slates, which we cannot hut hope will rebuke the court w hich is consenting to the overthrow of Slate laws, nnd to murder und maltreatment of, it may he, inoffensive citizens. A JUST .?unlit. We cut from the Columbia liryistn the following deserved tribute to Judge Kershaw: li is unl nuriiuott to Mutter Ju.lges, and i lie habit, wherever it exist*, is much more honoreJ in the breach Ihiin in the ubserviilice. Bnl when a unui has been called 11 nit (lie shades of private life un<l invested with ihe ermioe, ii is eminently proper thut ilie public, whose iuteiesis lie holds in his hands, should hear how the frown is worn. Kvery distinguished soldier does not, and for that mailer every learned lawyer does not. innke au able Judge. We have however, during the bi-l three weeks seen enough of the learned gentleman whose name npl pears at the head of this article, to suy that 1 lie will not disappoint his friends, nor wil ' he luil to gather new honors for himself in ] the position to which he has been called. It in refreshing to sit within the precincts of ' his court. Orderly,dignified, courteous, pa- ' tieiil, hr does htar causes. To behold otice ' uioie a well bred geutleuiiin on the bench, ' listening to I lie argument* of the bur, and taking notes of the authorities oiled, without 1 interruption to the counsel, without loijua- 1 city or iinputieucc, docs make one feel that ' lie has at lust reached a haven of rest, after 1 being subjected to the storms of the ocean 1 mid the ijitalms of se t sickness. In his ? court we observe with satisfaction that there . i< but one "Judge' in court, and that is the 1 die who sit* upon the bench. At the bar there are no "generals" or "colonols" or '' "majors" or "enntnius." but thoy are all recngiiizcil ! )' tla- dignified and appropriate lille of "Mr." There is no hot argument I between the Judge and the counsel in the e riiuse, where one of both, we limy be sure 1 a ill lose temper and in the mutual struggle hateli out a ease of contempt. It is not air purpose however, to draw comparisons or reflect upon others. Our present object is io commend I he deport incut, learning and ihilily of our newly elected Judge. In seeing him preside, we recall with pleasure the tolden Words ot laird Uncoil, which should be put up in illuminated letters in every oil ft room and kept before the eyes of every Judge tu the .Slute : "I'aticiice and gravity of Item ing is an es'ential part of justice, uud mi oe. rtj'dikuiy I / '"/y. u icrll-luih >1 ri/in full.
