Important Legal Decision.

\ decision has been given in the
Probate Court Of Sumter County.
Alabama, embracing the following
points:
|. The ordinance OF the State Con
vention, and the different acts of the
Legislature. for the protection of a1-
mlnlStrators. executors and cunrdi
ans, are valid: and investments made
by them in good faith. in the late
Confederate securities, under color
of law, will now be upheld; the loss
falling upon the estate, apd not upon
such executors. administrators or
guardians
.: Contracts made during the war,
which recognized the lawfulness Of
Confederate bonds and Treasury
notes. and which were then valid,
will not be pronounced void.
). Collections Of debts due an cs-
tate. by the personal representative,
III Confederate Treasury notes, will
be upheld if made in good faith.
even though the debt was due be ore
the war, and the notes became worth
less in the hands OF the administra-
tor.
/. Where rights had already been
vested before the surrender, or acts
have been performed under the laws
then III force, the public policy which
existed at the time such rights ac-
crued, and not present public policy.
will control the question of their le-
gality; and loyalty to the National!
Government does not require inter
ference with such past transactions,
if honestly made, and in accordance
with the laws of the State mt the
time
5. The administrator in this case,
having in good faith sold large
amount Of cotton, by the advice and
order of the Probate Court, in 1868,
for a fair price, and having taken
note for the purchase money from
the purchaser, which was delivered
to the guardian Of the heirs, and
afterwards collected by the guardian
in Confederate money, he is not liable
to account again for said cotton; al
though the sale was made with refer
ence to the market price in Confede-
rate money.

is imported into this country from
America, or about 35 per cent. of the
whole of the wheat and wheat flour
brought from abroad, while importa-
tions of raw cotton used formerly to
be 80 per cent, and are now some
thing short Of 20 per cent

The New Orleans PjcaYu,e has the
following contrast hetwccn the two
sections of the country:
Looking through large number
Of Northern and Western papers yes

the bitterness of spirit aud viruleual
with which the political quarrel there
existing is being carried on. Every
State aud town aud village appears
to be divided among themselves. In
every community, there arc two or
more newspaper 'organs" pecking
away at each other, as if they would
pick each others eyes out. We sup
pose these political "organs'' repre-
sent each portion of the community
for which they are printed, from
which we infer that the people in the
streets are, also, daily politically pick
ing each others eyes out. What it is

papers in disgust, and turning home
ward, congratulated ourselves on the
blessings OF peace-not solely exemp-
ton from the ruthless ravages Of war,
but from the distractions and violent
words Of political strife.
We are accustomed to complain
that we have no voice in the admins
tration of the Government to which
we are subject, that we are taxed
without representation, and sorelv
troubled with agents. and schemers,
and adventures, the chances of war
have sent among us, to the serious
detriment of business and the disgust
of all good people; but even this, bad
as it is, is better than that eternal
wrangling OF which the reckless and
INSCRIPTIONS publications. before MS

The Signs arc Frightening.

The Richmond Times is actually
growing hopeful. Tn its issue of
tuesday, it says:
Advices from the North indicate an
abatement of radical violence. AS is
always the case subsequent to cleo
tions, the unity OF the triumphant
party is threatened, because of those
differences upon certain questions,
which are ignored during the canvass
iii order. TO maintain the harmony ne
cessary to success.
The recent victories Of the radicals
seriously menace their party unity
Many OF the politicians who have as
sailed the Presidential policy of
Southern rehabilitation, and given
their cordial cooperation to the plan
of Congress, are men of moderate
views. when compared with Brown
low, Stevens and Wendell Phillips.
The brutal disposition of the latter
towards the South is utterly revolving
to them, and there cannot possibly
be even an approach to ,!nanimity in
the adoption of any general policy.
Sumner, Butler and Stevens will in
sist upon contiscations, negro SUI
fragc, the hanging Of Mr.. Davis and
the impeachment OF MI. Johnson.
The more moderate men will favor
none OF these mad projects; the
extreme radicals will be content with
nothing short Of the thorough adop-
ton and execution Of their violent
views; and it is simplp impossible
for them to command the strength in
Congress and the popular sympathy
necessary to their plans
1t Is reasonably clear that Mr.
Johnson does not fear impeachment,
and that really he has no occasion for
such apprehensions IN addition to
the fact that his enemies will be ut
terly unable to establish case against
him, sufficiently strong to justify
such an extreme measure, even with
the radical masses, the length of time
consumed in debate upon the propo-
sition OF impeachment, the impa-
tience of the people under constant
agltations, assisted by the calm and
lignilied attitude Of the South, will
consummate the incipient split in the
radical organization. There is even a
probability that the attempt to force
the 'fconstitutioDala amendment" upon
us will be abandoned. The Northern
people, seeing IN our unresisting atti
tude of patience under accumulated
suffering and provocation, sufficient
refutation of the radical charges
against us, of - belligerent and re-
bellious disposition, will cease to be
urgent for guarantees nf orr faith
ful allegiance in the shape of q base
surrender of our manhood, and an
odlons prescription of our most emf
nent fellow-citizens.

Breach OF Faith.

Breach OF Faith.
The New York Times must have It
mortal spite against Wade Hampton.
for his recent speech has furnished
that journal with denunciator edl-
torials for its last five or six issues,
all tending to show that the Southern
people are not yet subducd, End that
the final purifying process is oniy TO
be found in forcing them {" adopt
the constitutional amendment. 1t
even twists Gen. Hampton com
mendatorv remarks about The freed
men into sort OF evidence that they
should have the right OF suffrage.
Anything and everything to advance
the interests of the radical party.
But the Times insists that there has
been no breach Of faith on the part
of the Government towards The
Southern States. 1t says:
1--WE agree that the Government
stands pledged to recognize the South
ern States as in the Union; but the
pledge was giveE TO the loyal States,
and not to those in rebellion. 1t IS
due to those VINO fought the battle of
the Union. that the pledge should be
redeemed. And If the South iiaG
abandoned the contest when these
declarations were first made, it would
have had strong claim to Immediate
gecognition and restoration to power.
Dut it secuted and scorned them, and
it continued the war just as ng as it
could keep an army in the field. .
Was there ever such sophistry used
by the most unscrupulous politician?
The pledge was only given to the
loyal States, and not To those in re-
bellion! The Times ignores the fact
that President johnson, invested with
the power, did tender to the States
lately in rebellion certain terms and
conditions, on the compliance with
which they would be restored to their
rights and privileges in the Union.
They accepted and faithfully carried
out every condition, so much so that
the Executive was perfectly satisfied
and declared them entitled to their
representation in Congress. But the
party of which the Times is now
n principal organ has ohstructed the
work of reconstruction, virtually de
claring that the South had not been
punished enough. How supremely
ridiculous then, in the face Of these
facts, appeared the following imp ed
threat of the Times:
eff the Southern people propose
to push their claims in the temper
evinced, and on the grounds pat
forth by Wade Hampton in the
speech referred to. they will find
their contest hopeless. No such
claims will be conceded for moment.
Their complaints of a breach Of
faith are utterly without foundation =
The Southern people are satisfied
that any claims for justice at the
hands of the radicals will not be CON
sidered, and that any contest with
them to regain their rights would in
deed be hopeless. They are content,
therefore, to live as they are, and
bide their time, rather than to sub
NIT to further exactions from the
Times party.

NOT FRIGHTENED. The Washing-
ton correspondent OF the Richmond
Examiner says:
Tho President was told, the other
day, by ono Of the most eminent Of
the conservative Republican Sena-
tors, that he would be impeached
and removed; that nothing at his
command could now prevent it. The
President could not see it. He talks
politics freely with all comers, who
are chiefly of1ice-beggars and svco-
phants, and are interested in deceiv-
ing him. His reliance upon the
people is still his leading character
istic, and the people are against him,
except those whose support can do
him no good.
This is an admission that the Pro-
sldent has not been disturbed by the
threats of impeachment which have
emanated from Wendell Phillips.
They may pursue him with unfag-
Slng malice and hatred, but if he
maintains his firmness and still fur
ther Aberalizes the policy of the adj
minlstration, he will defeat the ma
chlnations Of personal and political
foes, as well as redeem the country
president JoHNsoN's PURPOSE.
Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, re-
marked, in the course of a stump
speech the other day:
He was of the opinion that the
result Of the elections would have n
! tendency to modify the Presidents
feelings, and that he had confidence
that, henceforth, Congress and the
President would get along more har
monionsly. Gov. Brownlow, who
was sitting near, was asked his Opt
Mon. He said he differed materially
with Maynard. He knew Johnson
we'll, had fought him for forty years,
and he believed he would 90 on until
he would be hanged!
"Hanged!" That is the way the
radicals arc talking.
