Judge Whitner---was he Right z

correspondent Of the Spartanburg Express,
writing from Sumterville; says that Judge
Whitner adjourned the Court for Sumter Dis
trict on Friday evening, although the business
was not near finished, in order that he might
reach the extra Court for Newberry, in time,
without travelling on the Sabbath. We are
glad to see that Judge Whitner has given the
high authority Of his examplein favor Of a just
discrimination of the apparently conflicting
claims of the human and Divine Law. We do
not think there is any real conflict; we4do not
think that the State has the semblance Of a
claim to the. Sabbath. But this proposition
must be at least 'colorabiy' established before
there can he admitted, or cl9imed, any conflict
in the premises. The Common Law" ae.
knowledges, even by mozinas, dies Domini.
cas-" The State, in many Of her enactments,
recognizes the Sabbath as belonging to God.
And though by the regulation of our Courts a
week is assigned to each District, yet fair in.
depreciation will give to each District only so
much of a week as can be devoted to the bust.
ness of the Court without forcing Judge, or
Lawyers, Tor clients, who may have business
in two consecutive Courts to travel on the
Sabbath.
When our Courts were first arranged for our
present Judicial Districts, population was sparse
wants few-and business, generally, merely
in embryo. Consequently the breaches ofcon'
tracts, and conflicting claims to property, were
rare, and a weeks time for Court was abnn-
dant. 1t was then rarely the case that Court
would be protracted beyond Friday evening.
Il tbo efo IN
another could be easily travelled in day, there
was no necessity for deciding the question whe
ther the State meant to force her Judges to
hold Court on Saturdays. And we are not to
assume that the State would require her min.
listers of tie Laa0 to violate in the very act of
enforcing obedience to hers; a Law which is
above the State, which is recognized in various
ways by the State, and which is an important
part ola grand system of Truth, upon the sue
cess of which, the best interests of the State
depend. In our opinion the question does not
admit of debate. Still, we cann6t densure,
without much qualification, Judge who is
prevailed upon, by anxious Lawyers and still
more anxious parties, to proceed with business
till Saturday night But If the Judge who
yields to the force Of circumstances is to some
extent excusabe, how much more ought the
Christian community to synpathze with and
sustain one who rises above the force of circum-
stances, and who, though proverbial for his
courtesy and charitable impulses, remembered
that he too had law that he must obey. 1t is
no less cheering to the Patriot than the Chris
tian, to see the "mcjesty of LaU" thus sustain
ed, by practice as well as precept.

The Mails.

We extract the following article from the
Charleston Courier. We had thought the
whole matter was arranged, but from this.
statement it appears that we are again to be
liable to the Interruptions which caused so mach
indignation few weeks since.
We have looked calmly at this matter, and
it does appear to US that Mr.. Campbell is
stretching his authority and responsibility a
little too far. The Southern people cannot
sustain him:
The late difficulties between the South Car.
olina Railroad Company and the Sost Office
Department were temporarily settled by the
following arrangement: The Company were
to carry the mails until the lst Of January, and
the Department were to pay whatever they
might demand for the service; but if "a perma
nent contract was not effected by the 5th of
December. the Department would then make
other arrangements. The 5th of December
has arrived and we have heard Of no steps hav
ing been taken BY the parties concerned to
effect permanent arrangement. 1t behooves
US, then, to inquire what "other arrangements"
are to be made.
We are reliably informed that persons are
now in Washington perfecting contract to
convey the great mails from Kingsville via Co.
lumbia, to Augusta by horse power, +, and that
the Charleston mails will be brought by the
same means from some point on the Manches
ter Railroad via Georgetown. In other words,
we shall have letters from New York in five
or six days, and from New Orleans in eight or
nine. How such retrograde step in our mail
facilities will affect this community can be seen
at glance, and it becomes necessity that it
should not be allowed to occur.
The position of both parties, as stated by
themselves is as follows: The railroad compa.
ny say that the compensation they are offered
for carrying the mails is not remunefative-
that they decline the service unless stheir de-
mands are acceded to.
The Postmaster General says, on the other
hand. that the demands made by the Company
are inadmissible that the pay he offers is the
utmost which the law allows, and refers TO
two acts of Congress. passed respectively the
25th January, 1885. and 3D. March, ls45, which
limit. the compensation to Railroads. lie al
so urges, with great force, that the Post Office
Department is expected to support itself, and
that compensation to it's contractors must be
limited by his means. If one road is allowed
more than his maximum price, every road In
the country will demand the same increase,
and the result will demand the same increase,
and the result will be endless contention and
embarrassment, ifnot bankruptcy to the Dc
partment

Our Editors Apology

For lack of editorial matter This week is, that a
precious pressing engagement required his absence
from home, and his presence in another place. We
have no doubt our friends and patrons will readily ex-
cuse him under the circumstances, as there are some
things which must be attended to at the precise hour
and the necessity becomes as absolute and imperative
as time and tide, which some old wise says wait
for no man.
He promises tQ give us one of his letters in our next
paper. -
