SOUTH CAROLINA +" TEST OATH


We stated, in yesterdays Gazette, that the
South Carolina Court Of Appeals had declared
against the so called {" Test Oath" of that State
Judge Harper, one ofthe three Judges, dissented
from his brethren as to the constitutionality OF
the oath, although agreeing with them on the
main point, that the Convention transcribed its
authority in defining allegiance &c. His full con-
ize opinion and reconcile feeling.
Having given extracts showing the favorable
light in which this decision is viewed by the
Union party, we now subjoin an extract from
the Columbia Times, exhibiting an entirely diff
ferent state of feeling amongst the Nullifers.
We are sorry to see the solemn decision of the
law thus regarded:
"Thus fellow citizens, we have endeavored
to lay before you, by the earliest opportunity,
one Of the most daring, bare-faced attempts,
ever made, to rob you, by the hypocritca forms
of law of your dearest rights-rights did we
say? yes, fellowcitizens, of your sorereignty!
Your iudges-men who owe you every thing,
fortune, OFFICE, honor, these men have declared
themselves your superiors. They have said
your sovereign authority, your authority in
Convention was null and void and have order
ed subaltern magistrate to set you and your
authority at defiance. They have ordered Mi
ltary Commissions to be given to those who de-
clare that they will not swear to defend their
country, who say that they owe allegiance to
another Government, and that you have no
right to call on them to serve you in the last
resort!
'Thus, fellow citizens, yourjudges have pro-
mugated the law, that Tories may rule over
you, and be entrusted with the sacred duty Of
defending your fields, your houses your fire.
sides, aye, your wives and children from inva
sion!! Yes the swords, forged to protect and
defend you, are, if this be the law, to be put
into the hands Of men who are already sharp
ening their Butcher Hnires," land thirsting for
your blood!
$ 1t remains for you now to say, whether you
will consider this the law?
'But, be not disconnected, fellow-citizens: act
as becomes your dignity. Meet in your prima-
ry assemblies and let your voice be heard forth
with. Waste not a moment. Call upon your
Governor to assemble your Legislature, and let
your sovereign will be traced in characters not to
be mistaken, uttered in tone not to be resisted.
Let your servants, those appointed to execute
your will, know, once and forever, that your
hands arenot to bemanacled by the cobwebs that
lawyers and judges may spirit to subserve the
purpose of party, or of faction"

Correspondence of the United States Gazette.
WASHINGTON. June Z. 1884.

WASHINGTON, June Z, 1884.
Mr. Sprague some time ago, called in the Sc
nate, for information from the State Depart
ment as to the amount of claims on France
made by our merchants, the amounts rejected,
allowed or suspended. It is fresh in the memo
ry of every observer of the signs and events of
the age in which we live that Mr.. Rives, the late
Minister to France, and General Jackson and
his administration boosted enormously about the
success of the negotiation with France, produc-
ing recognition of fre millions of the amount
of the claims Justly due to the United States, for
the losses sustained by her merchants.
That five millions should be received, to be Sc
parately and without connectionwith the amount
due, seemed a monstrouS sum, and such as was
sufficient to produce loud and long hosannas to
General Jackson, Mr.. Rives, and all the parties
concerned. But Mr.. Sprague, one of the most
sagacious, most able and most indetahgable OF
the senators, unsatsfied with this superficial
view of the matter, made call on the depart
ment of state, for the amount of the claims that
had been established the amount required, the
amount suspended, &c. by the commissioners
appointed to investigate the subject before the
difficulty occurred with France.
The answer to this BILL which came in this
morning, presented view, in effect as follows:
That the claims made on France by our mer-
chants and allowed by the Commissioners, pre-
vious to any difficulty with France, was in prin-
cipal II 600 dollars, and in interest "a 00O
making total of 41640O000 dollars. The
amount of claims rejected are stated to be about
sixteen hundred thousand dollars, and the
amount of claims suspended, is said to be lit
tie over eight millions. The aggregate of these
claims, is somewhat more than fifty millions,
and the great boast of General Jackson and his
administration, consists in having settled all
this enormous claim Of fifty millions, for which
Mr.. Rives accepted the allowance of about five
millions of dollars, which aggregate is even sup
posed to be, by the French Chambers, beyond
what we have right to demand and therefore
the demand, as allowed by treaty, is disal-
lowed.
Now ifthe amount of our just claims be above
81 millions, and the French Government refuses
to allow over FIVE millions, what reason is there
for Mr. Rives and the Administration which en-
ploy him, to make a great clamor, about the
adroitness with which he managed his negotia-
ton, so as to get from France so small pro-
portion Of which was actually due to us. Mr..
Sprague made feur very pungent remarks on
the subject, and do no injustice to the Senators
when | alledge that there are very few, who
can outrank Mr.. Sprague in useful services to
the public. He is not often on his feet but when
ever he is, he is sure to be felt.

The effect of Woman's eye upon E.recu-
tioner-Ann Boleyn, being on the scaffold would
not consent to have her eyes covered with a
bandage saying that she had no fear of death.
All that the divine who assisted at the execution
could obtain from her. was, that she would shut
her eyes; but as she was opening them at every
moment the executioner could not bear their
mild and tender chances; fearful of missing his
aim, he was obliged to invent an expedent to
behead the queen. He drew off his Shoes and
approached her silently; while he was at her left
hand another person advanced at her right,
who made great noise in walking, so that this
circumstance drawing the attention of Ann, she
turned her face from the eXecutioner, who was
enabled to strike the fatal blow without being dis
armed by that spirit of affecting resignation
which shone in the eyes of Ann Boleyn.
