Decisions of the Court of Errors.

From the Greenville Enterprise W e get the fol-
lowing abstract of legal points, decided by the
Court of Errors ut the recent Fall Term in Column
bia. The points are of material interest to ma
jority of our readers:
LIST. Tho Statute of Limitations did not run in
this State during the existence OF the Staw Law.
I'd. The ordinance Of the convention allowing
parties to prove what was the consideration and
value of all contracts, during the war, is not in
violation Of the United States Constitution, nor
does it impair the obligations Of contracts.
Sd. 1t is not in violation of the Constitution OF
the United States for the District Courts to try
criminals without a presentment of q Grand jury.
4th. The Tax Collectors are not compelled to
receive the bills OF the Bank Of the State OF South
Carolina in payment of taxes.
9Th. That slavery was not abolished at the date
of President Lincoln's proclamation, but ceased to
exist when the State was captured.
9th. Express Companies are liable to be taxed
on their income. 81.
The tax on National Banks, and the validity OF
negro debts, were postponed. The Court decided
that the Columbia and Augusta Railroad might
cross the South Carolina Railroad in Columbia.
But the case was retained for a compromise be-
tween the two companies in regard to the crossing
and other matters.
The question of the validity and constitutionality
OF the organization of the juries under military
orders was argued in the Court of Appeals, but no
decision has yet been announced.
