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. Kveu Northern
tourists who would spend much of their
title in our healthy sand hills, filling our
superb dwellings with hoarders, tell us that
Camden is so difficult of access that they are
forced reluctantly to seek less desirable

by indisputable testimony Unless tin;
railroad authorities give attention to

of the trains over onr end of

men, train htinds, section masters, road
hands and machinists. IJIoody riots
have neon red ill Martinsburg. Haitimore,
Pittsburg, liarri.-burg and other
points, and the (lovcrnors of several
States have found it necessary to call
mion the I'riside 111 of the United
States to assist them in prc-erving the
peace. Mr. Hayes, however, very
properly replies that it must first be

authorities arc tin a Me to (juell (lie riota

governwent for that purpose. 1 'assenoer

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
