The decision of the Supreme Court lias at last been rendered on this im portant subject, which we trust will put an end to all agitation of the qucsitQii in the future, it is the ver dict of the Supremo Tribunal of i In state, and, although it dees not give either to the bond holders oi' the State what was asked, it should b ? re ?garded as conclusive, ami unquestion able. It has been rendered with great ability and carries conviction along with it. Tho judgment of the ('< url < f Claims l as .been sei aside and the eases rcmuueleel to it for such pro ceedings as may be necessary under this decision. ^Yc have not the space lo give a mihutc synopsis of the decision in this issue, but will endeavor to inform our readers of the conclusions. The consolidation bonds arc rccog nized as negotiable securities. Con tracts, however, i'? be legal, must b s iu accordance with the Constitution. Bonds oi contracts cnu only bo made for the State through an act of the General Assembly, authorized by the Constitution. If then the Act is un constitutional, the bond is invalid, although it may he in the hands of a lona J'uh holder. But if, on the con trary, the Actis constitutional under which the bonds are issued, the debt is vakid. Under these principles the Court decides, that the Act to redeem the Bills Ivcceivable of the Stn'e, the Act authorizing the funding of the bills of the Bank of the State, the Act to j lovidc lor the appoinlim ni of a Land Con inissioncr, and the Act to nuthori/C a loan to pay inter st on the pul lie debt, are all in conil'onnity I to the provisions of the Constitution, and therefore the bonds issued under them are valid obligations of tho Stale. But the second issue oi bonds under the last Act amounting to o'ic mil lion of dollars is pronounced illegal. 'Ihc Act to authorize a loan for tho relief of the Treasury is also pro nounced unccnslituiioiinl, and there lore what are. known as the Treasury bonds arc declared invalid. 1 he arguments upon which the a hove conclusions were reached we think are eminently just and sound, and we hope that a vexed question is now removed from the political arena. Rcw at ;\ C?iiip Kedir.fj. One of the most disgraceful scenes that ha\C I?VIT oceiii red in South Carolina took place Sunday before last at Ihc Sandy Springs ('a mp Mi cl ing in Anderson County. The trains ran from Columbia, Abbeville, Green - villc mid Walhalla, and the crowd "was e.-t mated at about five thousand. There was preaching in the morn ing at the church and at. (he shed, and much feeling was manifested. Iuashoil lime, however, tho crowd became so boisterous that it was deemed advisable to discontinue the meeting. In the afternoon the trains being delayed, the mob became perfectly outrageous at tho Railroad crossing. Cider was sold at live cents for a cup full. The most indecent language was used in the presence of the ladies who could find no place of refuge, The drunken bullies attacked every body they came in contact with, and fighting and cursing made ^tip tIn most infernnUloiCcraoiou ol tho Sab bath ever witnessed in the Slate, all springing Irom whiskey. If the good people of the country would stamp their condemnation more severely upon such vices, such scenes would not be enacted. Wc agree with the "Abbeville Medium,'' that ''belter homo training, a more practieal Christianity, and a .-lerner enforcement of the law ":!1 do some thing to reform the situation." ' Tho Charleston Democracy. We ere glad to notice that the \\:ik] I'rcf-'idetts huvcall issued calls for Ward Meetings for the election of u new Executive Committee for the City Democincj in consequence of the illegal action of a majority of the old Committee by which persons who me not Democrats are intended to be Admitted to a voice in the selection of candidates and in shaping the course of the party This firm and dignified stand taken by the genuine Democracy, and so correctly announced, we hope will have the ( fleet of demoralizing what appears to us to be a silly and criminal conspiracy to Kadicali/e the p irt\ , and wo hope, will restore that har mony which is so essential to success. Orangoburg Wow and Then. To the brief sketch of the early settlement of Orangeburg District furnished heretofore, I will add a few remarks respecting the Territorial divisions of the State, which may be interesting in connection with the history of our County. Counties were marked out at an early day, und were far more exten sive than those now established. There were four : Berkeley, Craven, Colhton and Granvillc, named after some of the proprietors of the Terri tory. Berkeley County extended along ti e ocean, from Seewec Creek (mar the mouth of the ?'antce Iviver) to the Stono, and embraced Orange Parish. Parishes were established in 1701, and the number was increased in !7()<;, and subsequently. Their original institution was ecclesiastical, but as tar!}' as: 1710 they were made elective precincts, and the church wardens were appointed managers. St. Matthews Parish was laid out in 17C?, and Orange Parish in 1778, rlhe latter was an elective and never au ecclesiastical Parish. In 17o9 several Township j of 20,000 acres each were established, and among ihwm Oraiigeburg and Amelia Town ships, the latter embracing St. Mat thews Parish. 'J hese Townships, with manors, caciques, and baronies, have long since been forgotten. To know thtic tcvcral partitions of ter ritory, however, is still important, uot only to gratify curiosity, but t>. designate boundaries and localities in grants and conveyances of lands. .Some of the grants in this County refer Jo Berkeley County and Orange burg Township. By t!>o County Court act 'of 17S? Orange and I Winton Counties were established, j the latter embracing tho Fork of J Ed is to and the present Count)' of I lb.rnwell. In 1808, tho Fork of Edisto was detached from Winton County! and annexed to the Di-trict I of Orangeburg. By the Constitution of 17!)0 Orange and St. Matthews Parishes were declared to be election Districts, and, for the first time, Winton was called Harnwell or W'lLton election District. In 1882, that part of Orangeburg District, embraced within a line extending lr< m Williamsons' to the l'ino log bridge and thence to the. Edgefield line, w as attached to the judicial and collection District of Lexington, and in 18*19, the same part was attached to the election District of Lexington, by an amendment of the Constitution. The Legislature of South Carolina assembled at Charleston, until the Capitol was removed to Columbia in lT^vS. The members from Orange, and other Parishes of I he interior, attended on horse-back with their .-addle-bags, and were billetted and provided for in the most primitive n anner, as will appear from the fol lowing report submitted to the House by a Committee : ''Your Committee sent for Mr. Chitty, who informed them that he had accommodated the country members with lodging, and most of the articles in quantities as heretofore, with which, in kind and quality, they weio satisfied, said articles consisting ol rations of meat, bread, butter, rum, sugar, coffee, candles, pepper, salt, wood, rice and short and long forage." It would appear from the foregoing hill of fare, that whiskey was not distilled at that eat ly period. Cor ifit* Oriuigchurg Ti m i s. A Quest ion. .v?. /:.///..,?.?
