In the Court of Common Pleas for Newberry County, Judge Hudson, on Wednesday of last week, decided in the case of the Bank of Newberry that the Comptroller General in ordering the auditor to increase the re turns of the hanks acted with out the authority of law, and his act is therefore illegal and nugatory. The case, however, will go to the Supreme Court. STATE NEWS. Gathered From Our Exchanges. To-day is Carolina Day at the Augusta Exposition.
