the rights and privileges they have assumed to

Of making the private property ofevery stock

IS the Bank the State; il seems to me the true

charters Of The private Banks expire, Branch.

lholr places, or in as many rs may be deemed
espcdient; and in few years, I venture To say.
the profits arising from the bank capital tha.
would necessarily flow INTO the Treasury. in.
stead Of the pockets Of this monicd arsiocrscy,
would pay off the public debt, and relieve the
people in great measure ofthe heavy tax they
are groaning under at the present time.
Thrdly-i am opposed to the Tariff, except
so much as may be necessary to supply the
wants Of an economical administration Of on =
government.

For The Adre-.isey.

Mr.. EplroR.- Believing il to be the duty Of
candidates, for the Legislature, freely, and
frankly. to express their political opinions upon
all matters Of general interest before the people,
I can therefore have 10 dcsitatiof ID anSwef.
ing the questions propoundcd to the candidates
OF this district.
In answer TO the first in,erroSatory, would
say, that the political course Of Col. w. C..
Preston. has been such, for the las, few years,
as to render him, in my opinion. entirely unfit
to represent The Stale Of South Carolina in the
Unitad States Senate. Therefore. IL elected, I
shall not vote for him.
In answer to the second. would say, am
opposed to United States Bank, and in favor
oi well regulated banking system.
To the thlrd would answer tina, an en-
,ircIy opposed TO any Tar'G. excepting what is
necessary to supply the absolute wants Of tho
government.
Fourhly, am ofopinlon. tha. no one should
be considered qualified to &c, rs Judge, after
he has arrived at The ace Of sixty years.
FIi,hly-As the office Of Governor has always
been filled with men OF high distinction, well
qualified to discharge the duties dcvolvins up
on them, aud do not perceive any advantage
which might arise from altering the present
mode of election. shall oppose it for the pre-.
sent.

Decision in bankruptcy An important
decision, touching the right of landlord To
d-s'rain properly for rent, after The proper
~ had been reIurpcd n. the puperiy of The
bankrupt BY whom The rent was due. was
made in The U. S. District Court sitting at
Pi'tsburs last week. The circumstances
of the case arc az fullows:
Thomas Hudson rented farm from
VIM. Ross, Jr., for two years from April.
1871. renl payable yearly. The years
rcnr, which became due, aud payable on
The first OF April last was not paid, and on
the 2l,I of June. 1912. Hudson presented
his Petition in Bankruptcy, and the Court
fixed the ::s2d Of August for the hearing. -
On the 10Th Of August, Ross. t,he land
lorD dis,raincd the property of the bank
rupl on the premises, fnr The years rcnt.
which was duc on the first of last April !;
this property was included in Hudson's
schedule annexed TO his petition. The
Bankrupt applied TO The Hon. Thos. Irwin,
and obtained rule TO show cause why Oh
Injunction should moi issue, to restrain the
landlord from proceeding under his distress.
aud Why he should mol restore the proper
ty distrained.
On The 18th Of August. the case was ar
cued b. Hon. II. X. Skunk. late Secretary
Of The commonwealth, for the Rule and
by Hon. II. II. Van Amringe. formerly
Recorder Of cur city. for The Landlord
On the 18th the Rule was dismissed. the
Court being Of opinion that the right Of tile
landlord TO distrain the property on Tho
premises and to sell. was not impaired uu-
der the provisions Of the Bankrupt law.
We have not learned whether the deci-
sion relative to the righ, of the landlord to
distrain. extends to rent accruins after lhr
filing of his petition, or whether for such
rent. property returned in the schedule can
be exposed to sale.
We see Il stated that Judge Pennyback
er, Of the United States Court for the Wes-
tern district Of Virginia has decided that
"aiier the filing Of the petition i'll Bnuk.
