The order and decorum preserved during Court
Week, was a matter of general remark. Judge
O'NEALL observed that it was evidently the effect
of the Temperance reformation which has SO gen.
orally pervaded the District. 1t was, he remark
ed the first instance he remembered of finding no
person in Jail during Court-Week. We gladly
hail the era when good order, sobriety and decen-
cy takes the place of brutality and drunkenness.

N0tl Ruined.

People who suppose the country is about 10 be
ruined, and "sold at auction" have not taken
proper view Of things. The panic now raging in
the money market is severe, but it must come to
an end. The excitement will be followed by q
calm, and with that calm will come confidence and
prosperity. If our crops had been cut off by frost,
or ruined by wet weather, the fears now found
about town would be excusable With short crops,
the ruin would have been general, and the whole
Republic driven to sackcloth and ashes. But such
is not the case. Our barns are bursting with fat
ness. For this reason, the panic must be Of brief
continuance The backbone of the country is
composed Of our farmers. So long as they are "up
to their ehin," in wheat corn, barley and rye have
not only been grown, but housed. They consti-
tute so much solid wealth. This wealth cannot
amount to less than three thousand millions of dol
lars-a sum Of money so vast that the failures Of
Wall street sink into insignifcance. The West
has the means of paying, and will pay as soon as
the machinery Of business gets in running order
again The crops grown in single State will
more than pay for all the goods we have bought
from England during the whole year. Such fact
is full of encouragement, and shows that the time
is not far distant when the strong arm Of labor will
be again in demsnd-when the activity of our
workshops and factories shall be heard on every
side. The country is neither dead nor ruined, nor
can it be, so long as Nature and Sunshine favor
US as they have done for the glorious season just
closed.
Another indication that the panic must have
short and brilliant career, is shown by the fact
that some two millions Of dollars are now on the
ocean, bound from London to New York. This
money comes forward to be invested in American
produce-our wheat and corn having fallen 80
greatly that it pays good profit to ship to Lon
don and Liverpool. The money now coming from
The grain purchased with it will give employment
to our ships. These in turn, will give business to
our sloops, canal-boats and railroads. Again, we
repeat be of good cheer. Daylight is near.

REMOVAL
DEATH OF DIR, l.. p. BARNETT.

DEATH OF DR. L. p. BARNETT.
1t becomes our painful duty to announce the
untmely death of this estimable friend and fellow
citizen on Sunday night last. He was native OF
spartanburg, but adopted Yorkville rs his home
Here his upright conduct, generous nature and
gentlemnnly qualities endeared him to all ana his
loss will be as keeny felt as his place will be diff
icult to supply. Cut off in the prime of manhood
with the world all bright before him, we vaInly
regret that the voice of friendship cannot recall
him, nor the tears of love change the decree OF
fate. But those who knew him will cherish his
memory, for nobler nature was never given to
man. The quiet citizen, the perfect gentleman
and the sincere frienl, were all mrrored on his
manly countensnce and brow of candor. 1t should
be some consolation to his bereaved kindred to
know that he leaves behind many friends to mourn
his loss, and but few, or none, who will not remem
Der him kindly.

/ concerned, will gladly sustain it when right-1
will firmly oppose it when in the wrong. And
trust such will ever be the attitude Of South Car
olina ; for sad indeed would be our position, if
through frantic zeal, we should prefer the tri-
umph of party to the interests of our country.
There are two dangers which beset US in this
State-the fansticism of nationality and the fam
atacism of isolation. The first seduces US
with its visions Of grandeur-the second misleads
our judgment with its patriotic fervor. We must
avoid both extremes, and availing ourselves Of the
advantages of both, avoid the dangers Of either
Acting with National party, We must not forget
that the cause of the South is our paramount pur-
pose.
Mr.. BoYcE next adverted to Kansas. On this
subject he would not act the prophe., as no human
ken could tell whether IL was to be free or slave
State. But even if Kansas should become free
State, there still was hope. The institution Of
slavery was never on irmer basis. It's per-
manence was secured by sound politico .economi-
cal principles. Cotton is king and the supply of
cotton depends on the existence of slavery. Tur-
ming next to the monetary panic which pervades
the country, Mr.. BoYcE gave what he supposed to
be the causes which brought about the present
crisis and the measures likely to prevent its recur
renee in the future. Extravaganza might have
aided in producing this money pressure, but the
principal cause is to found in our system Of Tax
alton. 1t produces indirect trade with Europe
1t destroys the healthy competition between the
North and the European powers for our trade; it
burthens the South with far more than her just
share in supporting the general Government
Nothing would contribute so much to the pros
perity of the South as direct taxation. The
banking system should likewise be modified
Banks should not be permitted to issue less than
twenty, or, to say the least ten dollar bills
This provision would retain in the country SUBJ
stratum of specie which would serve as On anti
dote to future panics Banks should likewise be
prohibited from sending their notes abroad for
the purpose of speculation, and should be con-
fined to the legitimet" banking operations Of the
State. This would act as a check to too great
over.issues and produce spirit Of prudence and
conservatism. The entrance of the Judge nre-
cluded any farther remarks. Mr.. BoYcE closed
amid warm and cordial applause.

For the YorkFille Enquirer.
THE SLAVE TRADE.

.Nessrs. Editors:-I was pleased to see in your
last two numbers an endorsement Of the views of
Mr.. C. W. MILLER, on the slave trade.
1--we do not supply the demand for cotton, other
nations will deprive US of the monopoly of doing
50, by producing it elsewhere. The South needs
$1,000 nett, per hand in cotton at present prices,
and can afford to tempt the slave owners Of the
Eastern States with the offer Of $4,000 or more,
for good field hands. Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, and South Carolina, will soon be drain
ed Of slaves; and they will become paupers with
their lands deserted and valueess, and thus slavery
In the South will become weakened, losing the
prop Of four States which will probably add to
the political power of the North A rapid eAfux
Of slaves is daily pouring from the East Into the
Southwest. Soon the cotton part of South Caro-.
lima will have no slaves, and the rice region will
own all the slaves left, but will have all or most
of the State taxes to pay. As, however, represen-
tation is composed Of one representative to every
l-62 part of population, and also one representa-
tive to every 1852 part of taxation, the rice region
will govern the State. The upper country will be
exempt, in great part, from taxation but will
be subject to parish domination. But the parish.
es will rule at the cost of paying the expenses of
the State Government. (see amendment Of Con-
stitution Of South Carolina, of 18th December
1905, Let us have this subject discussed, and if
good is to result from re-opening of the slave
trade, by supplying the Western demand for labor
and in other respects, the sooner the better.
The exemption of one slave in each family from
levy and sale for debts hereafter to be contracted
will identify great number of persons with the
institution Of slavery who do not now own slaves,
and ere therefore to great degree regardless of
the continued existence Of this kind of property;
more especially as they have to compete with
slave labor for subsistence. Humanity also die
tstes this measure on the part of all the States
South, inasmuch as it would enable the poor fam
lily when deprived Of the father to sustain and ed.
ucate the helpless children.

Confidence..An Incident.

An incident that occurred in Philadelphia in
1887, rs related by the Press, is so good an Illus

all other matters, that it may we'll be repeated

dollars which he had loaned to merchant, on

Finance and Business at New Orleans.


The excessive s:ringency in the money market
has caused further heavy decline in cotton, the
reduction from the highest point being now St
cents. The sales the past three days amount to
5000 bales, including middling at 13. Receipts
continue to pour in rapidly, and the indications
are that lower figures will be submitted to. All
branches of business are more or less affected by
the pressure. but the merchants are using their
