The Banks and Money.

1t was said that the relief given the Banks by
the Legislature would be relief to the country !
Has it been so? Are the Banks at all disposed to
assist and relieve the people? If so. they would
discount good paper and accommodate the country,
instead Of dealing altogether in exchanges. The
one is attended with small profits and the other
with much larger ones. The Banks have been re.
leased from the penalties which they had incurred
by their suspensions, but they are still disposed
to pursue their own illegal gains at the expense Of
the people. This is the reward they give for the
liberality OF the recent legislation OF the repre-
scarce or difficult to get. We may expect it to
remain SO till the farmers and planters send off
their cotton and geta return fOrit. This they ought
to have done early in the fall. BY not selling
their crops they have lost one third of their value.
Cotton sold for fifteen cents III the fall, and it is
now not worth ten.-GreenrHlc Patriot.

The Walker Arrest.

Mr.. Stephens, Of Georgia, has made an admira
BILE speech, demonstrating the illegallty OF the
proceedings against Gen. Walker. He brings out
and establishes three important points.
l. That under the neutrality law (the Act OF
49, no arrest for its violation, of either ships
or persons can be made on the high seas or with
out the marine league from the shore That that
law is strictly inter territorial, and confined to the
jurisdiction of the United States.
.. That the Act of 1918 is so imperfect in con-
struction, that it does not confer the authority on
the President to use the army. navy or militia for
its enforcement: and that rs it is constitutional
principle that the President has no power to Use
them at ALL except under an express grant dehil-
ing the Instances, the absence of such grant in
the Act has the effect to conne his efforts to civil
proceedings.
3. That if under the Act the President could
send the Navy upon the high seas, and to Nicara,
qua, to arrest Walker, he could also the Army and
Militia, as they are mentioned in the Act, IN the
same connection That such construction was
never contemplated, as no words in it justified
such M inference us to the latter and therefore,
not rs to the former: that under it the President
may ma Ike war: and that the construction would
violate both the Constitution and the rights, and
therefore the law, of nations. 1t IS only In the
case of piracy, that such power is tolerated.
lie adds, and illustrates, the following PROPOSE
ton:
Now lay down another position as being
consistent with the law of nations, and say that
there is no power in the government of the United
States, nor does the law of nations require US to
prevent American citizens, either by one, two, a
dozen or hundred, from quitting t.'!s country,
and going to other countries, and there fol ming

NICARAGUA APPROVES OF THE ACT.-The Mica
raguan Minister, in letter to Mr.. CAss, published
in the Union, returns thanks to the United States
Government for arresting Walker on Nicaraguan
soil. Nicaragua does not feel that her sovereignty
has been violated in the least, and Mr.. Yrisarri
says Commodore Pau!ding's act was perfectly
justfable, for, he adds, as man-of-war Of
any nation may take up pirates from desert is
land, Or one thinly peoplcd that they can as
sert their dominion over it, although that island
might belong to another sovereign nation, just so
can bandits be apprehended as enemies of the
human race, by the armed vessels of friendly
nation, on point of foreign coast, which may
5e placed under circumstances like to those Of
the island mentioned by way of illustration."-
This is stunning fact to the sympathizers with
the fllibusters, who felt so indignant that the
sovereignty of Nicaragua should be outraged by
the United States-Souh CdroiinidR.

Dear Joe:-Any information concerning your
alma mater-her condition and prospects-will
neither be unintcrcsing nor devoid of interest -
I suppose you know that Synod reelected Dr..
GRIER to the Presidency, and that he has been in
duced to acceptit again. This regard fortunate
to the interests of the College. am not extern
sivey acquainted with the prominent men of the
denomination, but know of no one in it, better
qualified to fill his position. You know how COM
prehensve and graphic lie is in the lecture room
and his tact at governing out Of it. The Pro.
fessors' chairs are well filled in the main. Prof.
E. L. PATToy-latcly inducted into the professor
ship of Latin and Latin Literature when you left
Collccc-still sustans his reputation among the
students rs ripe scholar and thorough lnguist.
The endowment fund amounts to about sixty
thousand dollars. This sum is indeed, too small
to enable the recipients Of the bounty" to luxu-
rate in ease but their devotion to the College is
the more to be admired, as it indicates love of
something nobler-ncompara nObler-than the
..precous bane" Oh ! that the silent, yet all
the more impressive, prayer of Erskne might be
heard in Columbia But fOrbear-l have not
time to discuss this theme--yet my very soul
struggles to hcave the stone over the mountain.
The portnls of Erskne are thronged with about
one hundred and twenty-five students Among
whom, there is less drinking, night brawls, &C.,
than ever knew before In fact the place has
been gradually improving in this respect ever since
have been student. This attribute, in part,
to the increasing ''good feeling" between students
and citizens, and in part, to the influence OF the
Sons of Temperance. Of coulse, there are other
ssprocuring causes" The Sons number about
sixty. They have captured several malignant en-
emies; and are going on ''conquering and to con-
quer." Many more students would join, but their
parents arc unwilling. love to see this devotion
to the wishes of those who gave US being, but am
sorry that it works against so good cause We
have had one public meeting since my return to
the village, last November, and believe the ell
tire corps of Professors honorel it with their at
tendance.
The Euphemians have begun to lay the founda-
ton of their New IIall-which they expect to be
completed by next Commencement. Mr.. JOSIAH
MorrATr, of Chester, nobly contributed S25Oo, to
this praseworthy enterprise.
The Philomathcan Society have set on foot, L
like design; though they have not progressed
quite so far.
The prospects of the College are fattering-it'
success is beyond doubt. It is, emphatically,
the poor boys College; they who have not the
means to avail themselves of the expensive ad-
vantages Of the South Carolina College, and other
Institutions of that order, may repair here with

The Alabama Resolutions.

We give the resolutions of the Legislature of
Alabama, in reference to the admission of Kansas.
They are in good tone and spirit, and if these
brave words are followed by brave deeds, the
South will have some foundation for hoping to
maintain her equality in the Union. A State like
Alabama has ouly to enforce her resolutions, in
good faith, and she will be the rallying point Of
the entire South, in defence of its rights. But
resolutions of Southern States nave often
ended where they began-ln words, mere words,'
that they have ceased to excite hope in Southern
hearts, or apprehension in those Of their enemies.
Even what are termed the moderate men at the
North speak derisively of Southern resolutions"
and the Bobadil of the New York Courier and En-
quirer, whose belligerent propensities, as devel-
oped in his campaigns with Gen. Duff Green, in
that ending with the Cilley murder, and with Tom
Marshall, are matters of history, utters the fol-
lowing insolent language in reference to any sup
posed action of the Southern States. In speak
ing of the rejection of Kansas with the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, he says:
at will not lead to any dissolution of the
Union, for two unanswerable reasons. First, the
great majority of the people of the South are as
loyal to the Constitution and to the Union, and to
truth and the redemption of pledges voluntarily
made, as are we of the North; and, therefore,
Mey will not countenance disunion, however much
their leaders may desire it. And secondly. we Of
the North will not permit any such folly. We will
adhere to the Constitution and faithfully dis
charge all our duties under it; and having done
this, we tell those who seek disunion as we have
told them before, that they may not and shall not
withdraw from the Union !; and any attempt at so
doing, will be promptly put down, and all con-
cerned in it be most severely punished. This is
no idle threat. We mean just what we say and
if now or hereafter, any portion of the Confede-
racy ventures upon rebellion-we care not whether
it be the North or the South, the East or the West
we will mhp them into sujection after the fash
ion that a refractory school boy is brought into
subjecton to his master and superior; and they
should govern themselves accordingly"

BURNING Corn FOR FUEL.-The Chicago Tri-
bune says I've used to hear that among the
wonders of ''the West" the practice, in times of
little prices and much hog of burning bacon on
the river steamers, as the cheapest fuel was not
the least Latterly we have supposed that west
ern men had out.grown the necessity of what
would ordinarily be criminal waste, but gentle
man who has just returned from trip on the Illi-
nois Central Railroad tells US that OF kankakee,
only taw hours ride from this city, he found q
man burning good sound corn-in-the ear in his
stove. Inquiring the reason of what was to him
shameful, he was told that while poor coal was
worth 30 cents per 100 pounds, at the depot, un-
thrashed corn was dull at 25 cents for the same
weight"
