RIGHTS OF CEED!ToRs The case of r. p.
Dodge and &. H. Mcclellan VS.. James p
Gregory ct al. which was before the EQUITY
Court, Judge Cartier, yesterday, was
an application for an Injunction to
restrain the sale OF certain real esta-e in this
city under q deed Of trust Of Morgan d Rhine
hart. 1t involves a contest over the assets Of
Morgan Il Rhinehart, between William
Clarke, who claims prior lien, and the other
creditors of the firm, who claim under q gene
raj assignment to the plaintiffs In this cause.
The application before the court is for q tenn
porary Injunction to restrain the sale OF the
real estate OF tie firm. advertised to take place
to-day-tor the benefit of Clarke in exclusion
OF the other creditors. The other creditors
claims that the rate of $4,000 under the deed,
to secure which the sale is advertised, was
given without consideration, and is void. Mr
Clarke and Mr.. Fuller, the descendants, answer
that the debt is bona fide, being IN great part
the purchase.money of two steamers pur-
chased by Morgan 4 Rhipehartof Fuller. The
Court thought there was nothing In thisIease to
Justify the chancellor ia interfering with the
DO sitlon in which the parties had placed them
selves in their own contract. The bill alleged
that the consideration OF the note was q loan
TO be Obtained, but which in fact never was
Obtained. The answers set forth that the note
was given for current debt; and the law held
that where the answer denied the Quity OF the
bill no Injunction could he granted for this
case. therefore the prayer for injunction must
be refused

Its machinery at work. and enable it to resist and
throw off the approaching danger. The tendency
OF the operations of Nature is always towards a

sensible it is to help her along with gentle yet
powerful Tonic, than to deluge and weaken and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds of disease and death.

WADE HAMPTON ON IMPARTIAL SUFFRAe

W ADE llAhfIUN ON 1MEAhIlaL kAGE.
General Wade Hampton has written
letter upon reconstruction, in which are the
following opinions upon equal suffrage at the
South:
"On late public occasion l expressed my
perfect willingness to see impartial suffrage
established at the South, and | believe that
this opinion is entertained not only by
large majority of the intelligent and reflect
ing whites, but also of the same class among
the blacks. | deprecate universal suffrage,
not only on general principles, but especially
in the case before US, because | deny the
right Of Congress to prescribe the rules of
citizenship in the States. The Supreme
Court has decided that a negro is not citi-
zen of the United States, and Congress can
not reverse that decision by an Act. The
States, however, are competent to confer
citizenship on negro. We have recognized
the freedom of the blacks, and have placed
this fact beyond all probability of doubt,
denial or recall Let US recognize in the
same frank manner, and as fully, their
political rights. For myself, l confess that
l am perfectly willing to see Constitution
adopted by our State comforting the elective
franchise on the negro, on precisely the same
terms as it is to be exercised by the white
man, guarding against the abuse of this
privilege by establishing slight educational
and property qualification for all classes.
