The Plague Stricken Cities.

Accounts from Norfolk and Portsmouth, continue
to be distressing. These plague stricken cities need
aid and we are glad to that Charleston and Co.
lumba are acting nobly in the matter
Will Camden do nothing? We hope that with the
characteristic bcralty Of our town, some practical
evidence will be given Of our willingness to aid the
distressed and suffering There is something more
intended in the command to love our neighbours as
ourselves, than that we shall merely do them no
harm; we ought to do them good whenever we can.
Tho Charleston Courier Of Saturday says:
"We learn from physician who has just returned
though the number Of cases are somewhat less from
the want Of subjects We are gratfed to learn also
from the same source that the Charleston delegation
are doing good service, and continue in health and

PHILADELPHIA, September s.--The Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania, in session here, refuses
to grant the release of Passmore Williamson,
who was committed for contempt by the U. S.
District Court. Judge Lowrie concurrcd in the
decision, but differed in some Of the view, Of the
case. Judge Knox dissented from the decis-
ion.
Judge Black read the grounds of the decision
The court il is held, has no Jurisdiction inter-
fering with the judgments Of the Federal Courts
have exclusive power in deciding cases of con.
tempt, and this Court could not 60 behind the
record to ascertain the fact whether the com.
mitment was legal or not.
Judge Knox gave an opinion adverse to a
majority of the Court, contending that the
District Court had no jurisdiction to issue a
writ Of habeas corpus in the first case. and that
Mr.. Williamson is guilty ofno crime in refusing
TO answer it. lie also ruled that the power
to issue writs of habeas corpus is confined to
State Courts.

We arc pleased to learn by the Yorkvilc Enquirer,
that our friends Of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
York and Chester Districts have been visited with
revvals resulting in large accessions to the Church.
"During the Mount Prospect Campmeeting in
Chester District 1872 persons were added TO the church,
at proracted meeting near Lewisville the additions
numbered 30; and in other sections Of the same Dis
trict one hundred and fifty names have been enrolled
These numbers, with the addition Of so names enrolled
at the Concord Campmeeting in this District last
week, show an addition to the membership OF the
church of 3G5 persons in the course OF the past iour
weeks Such work speaks volumes for the untirrg
zeal and the earnest piety OF the Methodist people,.
