THE SUPREME Court ON CONFEDERATE MONEY
Upon Febcaying, the Supreme Court, Yesterday,
rendered decision affirming decree Of the
CoRrt, made in December last, in the case Of
George Schmidt Us. Jacob Parker appealed by
defendant from rhe Sixth District Court.
PEintiff was depositor in defendants bank,
the Bank of Commerce, from January 18th to
April Istr 1862 A balarce was due him of S400
This, subsequent to the occupation of the city by
the Federals, plaintiff demanded in legal tender,
which defendant refused, and offered Confederate
money. 1t was in proof that the business of the
bank, at the time plaintiff kept an account with
it. was conducted with Confederate money; and
upon his bank book was inscribed the following
notifications deposits in this bank are received
only on condition that the amount is to be drawn
in Confederate money"
The opinion of the court, now Te-aEirmed, was,
in brief, that Confederate money having, upon
the face Of it, been issued to make war upon the
government of the United States, parties volun-
tarilv dealing in it, as was the case with both
plaintiff and defendant, were culpable-guilty Of
sn immoral act-aud the court could not lend IT.
self to the enforcement Of contracts entered into
in contempt Of law. Declaring this contract
therefore, null and void the decision Of the lower
court, which vas in favor of defendant, vas or
dered to be reYersed.-N. O. Crescent, 10Th.

ALMOST HANGING SCRAPE.-The Reno (Pa.}
Times relates the following ludcrouS affair:
Going up on the Atlantic road the other night
we saw little by-play, which was comical TO the
spectators A couple of young people of the
snale and female persuasions had been having an
animated argument upon some interesting topic,
perhaps as to whether they shonld call upon a
minister at-the next stopping place. At any rate
he was persistent and angry, and she reluctant
and pouting AS the train neared LeaVittsburg
the bell-cord was detached at the end OF the car,
preparatory to separating the train
The end of the rope hung beside the seat which
the young man glowered upon the travelling
world Partly for fun, and partly to trighteE his
companion, hejumped up, and throwing the end
Of the cord about his neck, pretended to hang
himself, Just at this moment the brakesmcn at
she forward end Of the car seized the rope, and
gave it tremendous jerk to draw It out. The
twitch upon the cord almost lifted the young man
from his feet, and made him see stars that were
not down in the books. The young lady jumped
up with feminine shrek, and caught hold OF her
beloved to keep him from being drawn ahead long
through the cord loops. As he settled back into
his seat, it is hard 10 tell which had the whltest
.ce, even when they came in close contact
minute after ia labial proclamation of peace.
We think the minister in the next town got a fee
that day.

ExTRAoRDINARY SToRY OF AN Iron CHEST
What very nearly amounted to a shocking tragedy,
reminding one not little Of the famous story OF
the bride and the chest, took place at Oxford,
Canada, last Tuesday. At the handsome Ralph
Hotel in that city, lately built, two men and aboy
employed on the premises, from fun and curiosity.
we believe, got into very carefully constructed
freproof plate chest. Another servant, also IN
fun, little thinking what he was doing, closed the
door. It fastened with a spring lock, and the
horrifed victims fout themselves enclosed III an
air-tight box about three feet square by SIX feet
high. It is difficult to understand how three
persons could have squeezed themselves into such
place, for there was only just standing room !;
but such is the fact. Theit cries soon alarmed
the establishment, and at last the key was found :;
but as might be expected in the confusion, under
the agonizing efforts of the frightened man who
had shut the door, it broke in the lock- There
was nothing for it tut to break in, but the extra
ordinary strength Of the door resisted every effort
of Slcdge hammers welded by powerful men
working for the life of their fellow creatures.
The escape Of the prisoners was only effected,
after having been immuTed for more than half an
hour, By breaking through the wall with proper
masonS tools. The boy tainted, and one Of the
men was bleeding from the nose and mouth the
other had not vet begun TO suffer viSb!y, though
much distressed. very few minutes more-it
is said not fve-and some, if rot all, must have
perished. Considerable crowds called around
the hotel, both at the time and afte1ward.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-SPEECH OF SECRETARY
SEWARD AT AUBURS.-Secretary SEWARD deliv
cred a speech at Auburn on Tuesday evening. he
said the solicitude which prevades the country
would, perhaps, justify him in addressing the
people Upon political topics candidly and patrioti-
caly. When good Union men were suspicious OF
change, in view Of defeated rebels and their sup
port Of the Presidents policy, he from the first re-
iected the idea that the change was accomplished
for reasonable purposes. Reconstruction is not
needed, because the country, as constructed long
since, has not b en- destroyed, What is needed is
reconciliation between senators now acting and
those who, beng loyal, have been or "ay be
elected hereafter from Southern States. With few
exceptions, Southern people could justly be ac-
cepted, Our fellow-citizens fthe Southern States
have for the last four years, been nearly without
a governments; but they are now organized, anu
nothing is needed but conciliadon.
The Presidents plan of reconstruction is, that
50 far and so fast as unrcpreSented Southern
States present themselves in loyal attitude by
representatives unquestiotably loyal, they are en-
tited to representation. This plan is practicable
No plan proposed by Congress so far will prove
feasible. He was aware there was dHIerence
between the President and Congress, but hoped
this difference would not cause the Union parry 10
lose its great influence in guiding the country to
perfect restoration.

WHAT GERMAN LABoEERs REQUIRE The Co.
lumbus (Ca.l Enquirer alludinS to the recent I'M
portation of German immigrants in that section,
intimates that the experiment may fail.
We are told that the German laborerS are ac
customed to at home, and would require here, a
bowl of soup or coffee early in the morning before
they do any kind OF work; then breakfast at
eight, consisting of bread and generally ofcheeSe,
lard, smoked bacon, or sausage, and ration OF
whiskv-half hour for this meal ; dinner at noon,
consisting Of thick soup made ofpotatoes, turnips,
beans, peas, sheled barley or oats boiled with
potatoes, and seasoned with onions fried in lard
bacon-onr hour for this meal a four o'clock
meal, similar in all respects to the breakiaS,-
half hour; and supper after all work Of the day
is done, consisting boiled potatoes soup, milk,
&c. The bread to be leaycncd bread made Of
bo(ted rye.
10 fiji this bill Of fare would require of the
Southern planter not only material change in
his hours Of eating, but very great change III
the kind of food and manner Ot cooking 1t. The
old system Of raising nearly all the provisions
on the plantation would have to be changed
for our planters do not like cheese, nor can they
grow onions to advantage, nor can they keep
the Irish potatoes Of their own raising for any
lenrth of time All of these articles, as we'll as
beans. would have to be bought in most part
from the North. With rye -four they are almost
wholly unacquainted they could produce 1t III
GREAT abundance, but would have to accusom
themselves to the use Of it. The expenses OF the
plantation would be materially increased by this
substitution of Northern for Southern articles OF
food.

NEW YORK, May 23.-FoRE1GN INTELLIG ENcE.

NEW York, May 23.-FoEEIGN INTEILIG GENcE.-
The extracts from the European papers repre-
sent war as inevitable. There is no confirmation
of the report of European Congress to be held,
or signs of mediation. Earl Clarendon, IN the
House of Lords, said that the English Government
would not engage in war directly or indirectly.
Napoleon in aspeech at Augurean, said, II de-
test these treaties of 1875 which it is now sought
to make the basis of our foreign policy" The
declaration was considered signal for war, and
the Paris Bourse was panic-strieken.

TIE TRIAL OF &{R. DAvIs.-'Iota," the Wash
ington correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun, in
his SATURDAY. letter to that paper says:
The trial of Jefferson Davis before the United
States Circuit Court in Virginia is considered as
settled, but Chief Justice Chase has not yet sig
nifed his Intention TO hold the court for this or
enE other purpose. The Judiciary Committee Of
the House are B0R directing their attention to
the grounds presented 10 them upon which the
charge oftreason, not Of conspiracy and for as
sasSination, is founded, andthe Ckiet Justice may
await their final report. The President will, no
doubt, remove the chief obstacles which the
Chief Justice indicated as prevented him from
trying criminal case in Virginia. He must GER
tainly withdraw martial law from the State be-
fore Justice Chase will consent to hold the court
for Mr. Davis trial. This has not yet been doue.
bat It is thought that it will be.
The law just passed to facilitate the trial at
Richmond authorizes special term to be held,
as, well as the regular terms in May and October.
If the Chief justice determines to hold the court
and try jefferson Davis for treason, it will not be
so early as June, as some have supposed-other
engagements will prevent it. The Jurors cannot
tbe taken from West Virginia, as has been stated
in some quarters. Of course not, as the district
in which the alleged overt &C: vas committed
does not, and did not at the time Of its alleged
commitment, embrace West Virginia. The ac-
eused will have the usual right Of pre-emptoly
challenge as we'll as objecting for cause. No
one believes that jury is likely tc be empan-
.eled at Richmond that will agree.
A disagreement, and possibly new trial with
Ike results, is all that will come Of it. There
fore tire Radicals are opposed to trial for trea
son by a civil court in Virginia. Senator Sum-
ner is not alone in declaring it to be farce.
Some uneasy Radicals have denied the state
ment that the Ohio State Central Republican
Committee had a recent meeting and endorsed
the policy of the administration. I have high
authority for saying that an Informal meeting
was held in Columbus, that twelve members were
present in person, and FIVE others responded by
letter, and that of the whole Committee OF twenty
three members there are but two members who
endorse Congress against the President.

The Disastrous CoNFEAGRATIoN IN New YORK
The FIRE which occurred in New York on the
22d instant was the most destructive that has
taken place in that city for many years: lncIu-
ded in the ruins are the Academy Of Music, the
New York Medical University, a Church. and
several dwellings and manufactures. The esti-
mated loss is from three to four millions Of dol
iars. In its early days the Academy of Music
was considered the model building Ofits kind in in
america. At later period, however, STRUCTURES
for similar purposes have been erected in other
cities " hfch eclipse the New York Academy IN
points of spaciousness architecture and ornament.
It's destruction will be keenly felt by the thou
sands who we're accustomed to attend weekly the
entertainments given within its walls, and can
not avoid being highly advantageous TO the man
ayers of the theatres, whose audience will be
considerably enhanced.

AS walked one night by the bright moonlight,
Which illumines Dr.. Grierson's corner,
Said to my wife, tie EJirir Of Life
Is discovered at last in this qua rter.
By Scipio, the Sable, you'll say It's no fable,
When you drink from yon fountain of glass;,
That exquisite Soda, with Syrups whose odor
Not Lubiu himself can surpass. <-
Ny spouse is dyspeptic, and rather skeptic ,
Concerning all medical power.
And believes in her heart neither nature nor art
Can the death-stroke avert for ene hour.
But to please me at last to the counter she passed
Where Gricrson & Brother attend
To pour ont the stream that-with syrup of cream
To Elysium. the spirit will send
AS her lip touched the bead, in her eyes could
read,
An expression o?peTfeet delight
Not once did she stop, till she drained every drop
Of that beverage, luscious and light.
Now, whenever we pass by that fountain of glass,
No matter at what time of day
With thirst she is pleased to be suddenly seized,
Which that water alone can allay.

NEGRO ScHooLs.-Several negro schools for the
education offrecdmen have been opened in this
town, and are we'll attended Itis novel sight to a
Southern man to behold the juvenile Etllopans
throneing to the halls of science. There is a
grave doubt in our minds whether the newly
awakened thirst of knowledge has been revived
from laudabe desire to rise in the scale Of mo-
rality, or from the ambition to surpass their less
fortunate fellows in social position. De this as
it may, if the expansion Of their iNtellects will
enable them to appreciate correctly their posi-
ton and ours, and to comprehend the mutual
relation we bear to each other, we say success
to the diffusion of information among the freed
men.-Che$tcr Standard

Charleston and Baltimore.

The Charleston correspondent Of the Columbia
Carolnian SAYS: The wharves Of Charleston are
about the busiest portion Of the city at present.
Messrs Street, Brothers s Co., are the agents for
the new line of Baltimore steamers, the first Of
which (the A1ele) arrived yesterday, with large
and well-assortcd cargo. Messrs. Willis & CHS
olm have added another to their line of Balti-
more vessels, making now four upon that line,
and with the two on the new line, the steam COM
municaion between these two ports is equal to
should be. Baltimore offers as many induce
ments to the Southern merchants as New York.
The treghts are less the distance shorter and
the goods can certainly be purchased cheaper
there than futhci No. III. Several merchants
who lately purchased at New York came back by
land and stopping at Baltimore, found that they
could have suited themselves much better than
where they had bought.
1t is to be hoped that by fall or at the far
thest, by next spring, Charleston will be mar
ket for foreign goods, and merchants will not
have to 60 North, as they can then purchase here
much cheaper than in the Northern cities. There
is no city on the coast between Baltimore and
New Orleans OF such Importance in every respect
as Charleston This is so we'll known that capi-
talists have turned their attention and their mo-
ney in this channel and Charleston and Euro
pean steamship line will soon be an established
reality"

MOUNTAIN SuoAL OF THE ENoREE RIVER
MeSSrs. Kay & Hewetson, Architects and
Engineers, Columbia, S. c., have been for
some time engaged in making an accurate
survey Of the above shoals and have kindly
furnished the Spartanburg Express with the
following rules of their labors:
"The total fall of the Enoree River at the
Mountain Shoal, in distance 1900 feet, is 62
feet
The most rapid descent is between the
bridge and mile creek, where, ina distance
of $50 feet the fail is 35 feet.
The fall from head Of Shoal to Bridge is Q
feet, and from mile creek to foot of Shoals
II feet
There are excellent mill or factory locations
on both the Spartanburg and Laurens sides
of the river, with almost unlimited water pow
eT.
On 2 mile creek, considerable stream,
which enters the Enoree Just below Mr.. Nes-
bits Touring and saw mills, and a few hun.
dred feet from the mouth, there is a fine null
location-the stream here is a distance Of 200
feet, having fall Of II feet"
The above exhibit is but one among the
many that Spartanburg District might present,
Of Its vast resources in, water power. The
Tigers, Pac lets and Fair Forest, with their
numerous tributaries all containing many
shoals, falls and rapids, are able to work all
the machinery that the capital and enterprise
Of this country could construct in the next
twenty years. We hope that our enterprising
citizens will avail themselves of ftheservices Of
these skiHful engineers, in making similar
surveys along our streams, that an accurate
statement may be presented to the public of
the immense water power of this district, and
Of the State generally.
