SUNDAY WAS St. Patrick's day, an anniversary especially sacrod to all Catholic Irishmen. It was genor ally observed throughout the coun try. AND Now Canon Farrar riros to explain that he never said there was no hell. He believes that while the masses will not be doomed to eternal torment, some particular individuals may be doomed ever lastingly. The York County Bonds. Oonsidorable interest has recent ly been aronsod in the matter of the bonds issued some years ago by the county oonrnissionors of York in aid of the Chester and Lonoir Nar row Gauge Railroad Company The bonds wore issued under au thority claimed to ho given by the act of the Loginlature In1COrp)oratilg the Company. Great opposition and considerable indignation wore felt at the action of the commis sioners-then composed of one ignorant negro, one low whito Radical, and one weak though honest Democrat-and stops were taken to test its legality in the courts. The case made was entitlod "Glenn and Others vs. the County Commnis sioners of York County." Judge Mackey decided in favor of the right of the county Comm11issioners to issue the bands, and his decision was sstttined by the Supreme Canrt, Justioe Willard dissonting. Last year, Governor Hampton ap pointed a commission to investi gate rhe financial condition of York county ; and by the terms of the act giving him the power to appoint the levy of any special tax was forbidden on and after the forna tion of the commission. The coun ty troasurer, Dr. T. C. Robertson, acting under the express instrule tions of Comptroller-General Ha good, doolined to collect or rocoivo any of the tax levied for the pay ment of the coupons or that for the retirement of the bonds. To con - pei the treasurer to collect these' taxes, certain bond- holders applied to the Supreme Court for a wriit of mandamus. On this ease the Court has recently rendered its docision, refusing to grant the writ. What points are made in the decision we are unable to state, but the Rock Hill Hampton 1Ier'ald is informed that the Court holds that "the ease of Glenn and Others vs. the County Commissioners decidos nothing." This may seem startling, but there is one grotnd, if no other, on which the decision may rest. The State Constitution, Art. IV., ? 8, pre.. scribes: When a judgment or decree is reversed or affirmed by the Supreme Court, every point made and dis tinctly stated in the cause, and fair' ly arising upon01 the .record of the case, shall be considered iad de. eiddid ; and the realsons thesrcor shall be concisely and briefly stated in writing, and priosorved with the recordls of the caso. It will be seon that this provision is mandatory. In the case of Glenn and Others, etc., no opinion was filed by a majority of the Court-a circumstance that occas'ioned some surprise at the timo and much comment since. It may be that the Supreme Court rests its recent decision 0on tihe ground that the judgment was void for irregularity in thora being no written opinion Cxprlessing the views of the nrijority of tile C>ur't. This may seem a mere technicality, but there is abundant reac on for the constitutional roqu irlOZot, whlich we have not nowv space to state. Ad when it is remembered that tho recent purification and elevation of the circuit bench of the State camne from a decision based upon the nicest verbal andl technical dia. tinotions, we should not be surprised rif it should turn out that the York county bonds are .d oolared worth less upon the ground that the court of last resort, in under'ta king to establish their validity, ignored a plain )bandato of the org'mic 1w. We confess we should not bo di; pleased if the York county b"nd shouhl turn out to b- wmrtiess It is allegod, and, we b'I1'vo. not denied, that the lato Joe Crows re coived five hundred dollars for making a favorablo report on the bill iucorportting the Company under which charter the county cominsioner,s undertook to issue the b,onds. They were issued in the face of strong oppo:sitioll on the part of a largo ijority of thi ix - payers. They were isii.d by a board, the majority of whomll wero both weak and corrupt. The very decision of the highest tribunal in the State is declared, upon very good proof, to have been procured by corrupt moans. It is all well enough to prate about the rights of creditors and of "innocont holders for value." But when it comes to sad dli)ag a county with a debt of over two hundred thou*and doll:r:, pri)l-' ciplal and interest, agnmtt the known .%:sihes of a majority of the taxpayero, we lean to the side of tho taxp-iyors. 'The bond holders may suffer, but they took tio chances, bought the bond:; at a d'eonut, and1 must not expect too in h sylpathy1 if they have lost their ap.ire money. Wo trn)t the .IIu'plJt. Ierarc ini correct in its view that tho former decision "decides nothing," a,d that the recent judgment of the Suprlemc Court may rest on such grounds as to make it a filality.
