Slave Marriage.

An interesting report has just been sub
mitted by the Convention of the South
Carolinian Episcopal Church, at their
session in 1859, in respect to the marriage
of slaves. The following is the substance
Of the decision arrived at by the Commit
tee: The relation Of husband and wife
is declared to be Of divine institution, and
to be equally binding on the slave as we'll
as on the master. The injunction Of the
Savior :orbidding the separation of hus-
band and wife is obligatory on the master,
and every master should SO regulate the
disposal of the slavo as not to infringe
the divine injunction. Voluntary aban-
doumcnt, on the part of a married slave.
ought to come within the same rule as in
the case of a free person; but when the
abandonment is involuntary, and caused
by circumstances without the control of
the parties, the refusal to allow a second
would often produce much evil and hard
ship; but in giving its sanction to such
second marriage, the Convention would
do so in the qualified language applied by
the Apostle to cases of sclf-res!raint. The
report makes the remarkable statement
that there is no instance in South Carroll
na of legal divorce.
To FARMERs.-Farmers and others,
owning property in the neighborhood of
towns, are greatly annoyed by having
their fences, enclosing their lands, torn
down and the rails carried of for fire
wood. 1t may be some advantage for
them to know that law exists in this
State, giving power to every Justice of
the Peace, before whom any one is con-
yicted of breaking down, and carrying
away, any part Of a fence, to fine them
the sum of ten dollars, one half to be
paid to the iDtormer, aud the other half
to the county. In default Of payment
the Justice has the power, under the law,
to imprison the offender for thirty days
in the county Jail.

More SWindling.

A friend in Stark county informs US that
two brothers. citizens of that county, went
to New York few months ago, intending
to continue their journey to California.
In order to secure passage beyond the
possibility Of failure, they procured tick
cts. intending to go by the next steamer;
but not knowing the price of tickets. they
paid fifty dollars more than the regular
rates. While The steamer was receiving
her load, preparatory to starting. the two
showed their tickets to the officers of the
vessel, and were informed that they were
.spurous.--a forgery! Their chagrin and
disappointment was the more insufferable
from the fact that they had not money
enough to continue their journey, but were
forced to return home.
When you go New York, or anywhere
else, look out for sharpers.

made upon an appeal from the Marion
Circuit Court in suit brought to test the
of the act Of incorporation, and reviews
all the points raj sed which were deemed
inconsistent with the Constitution. This
opinion of the Court Of last resort is i'm

question of repeal of the charter is rails
ed in the Legislature on account OF alledg,

STATE TEMPERANCE CoNvENrIoN.-The
following resolutions were adopted on
Thursday afternoon, as embodyiHg the
views oftLe Convention in regard to drink
ing houses:
RESOLVED, That State. whose Constr
tuition and Laws are to establish justice.
maintain public order, and to provide Tor
the peace. safety. and well being gifts in
habitants. has no right to throw the shield
of protection around such unmitigated evils
as tippling-houses, which have shown
themselves to be subversive Of all these.
Resolved, That on the contrary, every con-
sideration Of public good. whether as to Pc
cuniary interest, or rs to the lives md
morals and safety of the people, demand
that such sources of crime and pauperlsm
and suffering, should be absolutely and un-
conditionally prohibited.
Resolyed, That we view with regret the
efforts made by some to make the State a
partner in the business Of making drunk
ards by granting license to those who
wisl. to engage in this business.
Pesolpcd, That as last resort when the
State fails to protectits inhabitants, whether
from the treachery of Indians, or the at
tacks of foreign foes or the assassnations of
desperate men. or the more dreadful IN
fluence of tipPling houses. they have the
God-given right, which no conventional
usages or written law can take away to de-
fend themselves and repel those who attack
them.
Resolrcd. That we respectfully request
the Legislature Of Indiana. now in
session, and urge upon them as duty, to
pass an efficient law which shall declare
tipping houses, or place of public drink
ing, public nuisances, and to provide for
the punishment of those who keep them,
and fc- the abatement and removal Of
the nuisance.
The following persons were appointed

viz: VIM. Hannaman, Chas. Secrest

Harper, Henry Rupe. and Stearns Fisher.

rickety ship. and declares to the DEM
ocracy. The Indianapolis correspondent
of the New Albany Ledger speaks of hipl
as follows:
1.-The principal clerk of the House, r
J Ryan, for reasons satisfactory to himself,
drew up a resignation Of his post. and
placed it in the hands of his friends TO be
rendered to day. He subsequently, recon
sidered the matter, and has, believe, con-
cluded to continue in the exercise Of his
public functions. He entered the neme-
cratic caucus last night. and announced
his determination henceferth to &et with
the Democratic party. Ike snapped his
fingers at the Republicans, declared that
he didn't care d-n for sae office th"v
had conferred upon him, and asserted his
entire satisfaction With the recent Kentucky
9th of January resolu.soas. OF course he
was rejoiced over as repentant sinner"

Report of the Committee on
Public Printing.

We have received from J. o. PARKS,
Esq. copy Of the report of the House
Special Committee on Public Printing, and
have carefully perused it. together with
the evidence accompanying the report
From some remarks made by the Repub
lican papers Of Indianapolis, and echoed
by the lesser lights throughout the State,
the public were prepared to sec developed
the most astounding frauds ever held up
to the indignant gaze Of an outraged peo
ple But after the arduous labors of the
Committee have been satisfactorily per-
formed, Ito themselves. at least, we opine
shat for all the good they have done, they
might as well ''have not BEEN"
The report shows that in a few instances
there may have been slight derilections of
duty. caused by multiplicity of business
in the hands of the officers; but in ne case
does it exhibit intentional fraud on the
part of those furnishing material or doing
work for the State. They did not find one
error ia the State Printers bills. After
quoting the law. which specifies the prices
he shall receive for the different kinds of
work, they state: 1.-The committee have not
been able to ascertain wherein these prices
have been at any time exceeded by The
Public Printer" The committee ccnsure
Prof Larrabee because he did not distrib-
ute the Documentary Journals and Agri
cultural Reports in 1852, and then censure
him again because he did distribute them
in 1356-7--the law in the latter case being
the same as in the former We should
think one real good censurs would be suffi>
Gent
The committee was gotten up for polt-
ical purposes. This can be seen on the
face of the report; we need but quote one
paragraph to prove it:
THAT it is wrong, re-printing the
Documentary Journals. practiced upon
the State, your committee verify believe.
and in the absence of any legal mode of
redress, enter their unqualified condemna-
ton. not only of the conduct of Prof Lar
rabee, in giving orders for re-printing the
documentary Journals, but of Mr.. Attor-
'ney General Mcdonald for giving an opn.
ion SO contrary to the plain intent and
meaning of the aet.''
What is the use of having a Supreme
Court, if ''speoixl committees" appointed
for the purpose of investigating the ac-
counts of the Public Printer, have the
night to reverse the decisions of the At
torney General? Or what security have
public officers. who comply with the law,
that they will not be censured by special
committee. because they do not put the
same construction on it that the committee
does.
