Mr., Sims stated verbally that the accountants
ad not examined the tax rolls of the previous
year in Mr.. Brewers administration, nor the
percentage upon the collection of taxes.
A long and desultory conversation ensued in
the Board, which finally eliminated in the
adoption of resolution declaring the office of
Chamberlain vacant and in the election of
Derrick Lane as the successor of Mr.. Brewer
Mr.. Brewer was appointed ChamoeIla in
1863 Previous to that time he held the position
OF oook-keeper in the Commercial Bank, and
such was the confidence felt in his ability and
Integrity, that we believe every one OF the
directors Of that institution went upon his bonds
to the amount of $1,000 each. He furnished
bonds upon assuming the duties OF the office
renewing them only once during the period OF
his incumbenOy-w Hon. Uri Gilbert was
Mayor. Mayor Flagg has repeatedly notified
and requested the Chamberlain TO renew bis
bonds, stating that such was his wishE and the
wish of the Common Council; but Mr.. Brewer
neglected to do So claiming the old bond held
and such was the written opinion of counsel in
his possession. The law requires that the bonds
shall be renewed every year.
II is assumed by the bondsmen OF Mr.. Brewer
that they cannot be held under any circum.
stances for his dereliction OF duty In pocketinR

Aid TO the Planter.

One of our citizens, just returned
from Atlanta Ga, informs us that a
committee of the merchants of that
city have Just returned from St. Louis,
to which place they had gone to make
arrangements for a supply of corn and
meat to aid their planters.
They report perfect success in their
object, having affected liberal terms
for a full supply to make the growing
crop.
They report a manifest sympathy
among St. Louis merchants for our
people, in their present straits, and a
readiness to extend fair credit to good
houses.
This fully corroborates Il views
as expressed yesterday, and the views
ofour correspondent, whose letter we
published on the inside to-day, who
urges an immediate meeting Of our
merchants to develop a combined ac-
ton to effect similar relief to Il PEG
pie.
We have also to-day conversed with

country. lie assures us that we do
not overestimate the general want OF
supplies to get through the season.

Freedmen are cautioned against I'M
due excitement growing out of local
political conventions that may be held
throughout the country during the
coming months. Such excitement
fills them with expectancy and unset
ties their minds, and they are not like
~ to return to their labor afterwards
with wonted contentment. They
must realize that the highest privileg-
es of freemen do not absolye them
from labor; that even the right and
privilege of voting will not provide
them with food, raiment and shelter,
without which no man can be truly
free, but that these are the products Of
industry alone.
They are directed not to heed ru-
morS that may come to the plantations,
of the registration of voters, or of
elections. and are informed that all
notices requiring their attention viii
be endorsed by official authority of
District or sub District Headquarters.
In Consequence ofthe backwardness of
the season, every days labor in the
field is of the utmost importance, and
the pillow must not halt in the fuTrow
ii the laborer expects to make a crop.
Agents of the Bureau will be gov
erned by the spirit of this Circular, and
will inspire the freedmen with the
same to the extent of their power,
through their preachers, teachers, and
the more intelligent of their class.

David Love, Guardian &C. Error to Pro,
". B. buchanan, ct, al. SMoaroe county
Justice Harris deIigered the Opinion
Of tie Court.
The record shows that the petitioner,
Lucethe Love, is the daughter Of Emily
Love, who was the daughter ot Maximillian
Love, deceased. That the said Emily Love,
the mother of petitioner died in the year
1919. That the said Macmillan Love, the
grandfather of petitioner diet on the 18th day
of April, 1858, leaving his last will and
testament, by which after certain specific
legacies, he directed substantially that his
executors should divide his estate into as
lnany shares as he had heirs, and that an
impartial division by lot be made among his
heirs.
The will was duly probated and executors
qualified, and this petition is filed by the
Guardian of Lucethe Love, for distribution
of the estate, claiming for her as one of his
heirs at law, Il share of the estate directed
by the testator to be distributed among his
heirs.
Upon hearing the cause below upon the
petition answer aud proofs the Probate
Court dismissed the petition, and the cause
is brought to this Court by writ of error.
Two points are presented for our deter
mination:
First, whether upon the face of the will,
the petitioner Lucethe Love, is entitled to a
d~istributive share of the estate, as one OF
testatOr's heirs.
Aud second, whether parol testimony is
admissible in this ease to show that t~estator

bequeathed to her.
Upon the first point the language of the
Will is clear, explicit and consistent with the
fnGfafOrfS natural dHTV He glOuru aalaarlr
that he understood the meaning of the word
heirs and intended to use it in it's rdina
~ legal aceeptation, clearly embracing Pc
%titioner, as one of the distributes under his
viii.
Upon the second point, we think it equal
ly clear that parol testimony was inadmis-
sIble IN this case, to shew an intention diff
ferent from that appearing on the face of
the will.
Chancellor Kent in the case of Mann VS..
Exr's of Mann, says it is a we'll settled rule,

proof or illustration. for it runs through all

and cases cited.
Ia the case before us even if such testi-
mony were admissible, we think the Court
erred in suppOsing that it established an in-
tention different from that apparent upon

Let the decree of the Court below be re-
versed and cause remanded for further pro-
ceedings in accordance with this opinion.

The Mississippi injunction ease was
brought before the Supreme Court TO-
day, Roberto. Walkers argument Tor
the petitioners, denying that Congress
was empowered to pass an act beyond
the range o, judicial inquiry, and ON,
tending that the Constitution provided
for such cases and may be brought
before the Court. Replying to olah-
bury's remarks of last Friday, Walker
maintained that political questions had
not been excluded from Court, and IN
support Of this question, he referred
among other and more recent cases 10
the military commission and test oath
questions, upon both of which the Su-
preme Court pronounced an OPINION.
Walker quoted various decisions IN
reputation Of the Attorney Genera ;
views. that this Court has no jurisdlc-
ton in cases not involving money ana
lands, and in conclusion speaking oil
the desperate sweeping out OF ten
States from the Union by the Recon
struction act as directly contrary to
the Constitution. He said a broader
attainder in penalties had never pee
passed. 1t reduced ten millions OF
loyal and disloyal people to bondage,
and substituted a cleaning sword and
bristling bayonet for Constitutions
guards and courts of law.
1t being three o'clock when Mr.
Walker finished, the Court adjourned
until Monday, when Mr.. Stanburry $
reply will be heard.

crowding, and wherever filth may be found
to have accumulated, or overcrowding to
exist, proper steps will promptly be taken
to remedy the evil firstly, by causing the

SECRET SoCIETIEs.-Thurlow Weed,
the able and venerable journalist,
whose experience and ability entitle
his opinions to consideration, says OF
"Ledgues' and "Secret Societies. that
Long before the war ended, Loyal
Leagues into which thousands of
good and patriotic men had been be-
guiled, degenerated into factious hot
beds from which the idle, the loafing
and the worthless received aid and
comfort Like other and kindred
secret societies. and like pestilential
diseases, the Loyal League will have
its day, count its scalps, and run its
race Whether, like the other i'll
omened combinations, it will, in its
fall, drag down the party upon which
it fastened itself, time will disclose"
There is nothing in the Sherman or
Supplementary bills-nOt a line or a
syllable--which can be tortured into
an obligation or duty, on the part of
any Southern man, white or colOred,
to surrender his freedom of thought,
or right of selecting his own candi-
dates, by joining a secret political
league. There is nothing in refusing
to become a member of such society,
or in opposing it in every legitimate
manner, which is not perfectly consis-
tent and reconciliable with the most
scrupulous idea of loyalty to the gov
eminent. Secret political societies
form no part of the machinery of re-
construction as contemplated by the
and is only a scheme gotten up
to entrap those who are thought to be
Ignorant, and to promote the few at
the expense of the many.
