PAYMENT FOR SLAVE PROPERTY.

The following note of a recent decision of the
Supreme Court Of Georgia is made by the Charles
ton Courier. 1t will be seen that the grounds
upon which the decision is based are precisely the
same occupied by Judge ORR in his late decision
upon the Homestead Law of this State. We copy
from the Courier:
PAYMENT FOR SLAVE PROPERTY The Supreme
Court of Georgia have lately decided that note
given for the purchase Of n slave is invalid.
BY the Constitution Of Georgia. made under the
Reconstruction Acts it is decided that no court or
officer shall have, nor shall the General Assembly
give jurisdiction OF authority, TO try, or give judy
Rent on, or enforce any debt the consideration Of
which was slave, or slaves, or tue hire thereof.
The State Constitution, with this provision In
it, was submitted for the examination of, and ap-
proval OF Congress.
1t is held by the Court that this is equivalent to
an Act OF Congress, and that the Government OF
the United States thus exercises their rights as
conquerurs; therefore this power does not come
within that provision Of the United States CQnstl-
tuition which denies TO any State the right OF lm-
pairing the obligation Of contract,
In other words, that Congress can pass a law
impairing the obligation of the contract, and this
it has done by approving of the Georgia Constitu
ton.
The opinion was delivered by Chief Justice
Brown; Warren, Justice, dissenting.

THE SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

At the last regular meeting of this Society, re-
Gently held in New Orleans, which is now fully
organized for the purpose of preserving the re-
cords of the late struggle for Confederate indie
pendence, several interesting and important let
lers were read, among them one from Gen. r. E.
LEE, signifying his acceptance Of the Vice Presi-
dency fer Virginia and saying 'ihat it is highly
important to collect and record reliable historical
information, especially in periods Of rapid change
such as the present." and Offering render cheer
fully any service that may aid this object in Vir-
ginia. Letters were received from Gen. WADE
HAMPTON and other Vice Presidents, approving Of
the objects of the Society, aud Hedging their SER
vices On his return to this State, Gen. HAMP
TON will seek 10 organize cooperative society,
and thus begin movement intended to preserve
in permanent form a record Of the part borne by
South Carolinans. In this effort, we are conf
dent that the General will meet with the earnest
assistance of every person conversant with the de-
tails of the struggle.

THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.

The September number of this interesting
monthly has been received Its contents give as
surance of unabated vigor and enterprise in the
publishers. The leading article, 1.-The Political
Crisis" is the first of series the political con-
ition of the country, and IS said be written by
distinguished gentleman of this State, though
his name is not even intimated. His style is calm
and dignifed, and the series will attract atten-
ton. The second article is from the pen of Ex-
Gov PERRY, and relates some interesting reminis-
cencss of WILLIAM C. PRESTON, the lamented ora
tor and statesman. Among the rest, "Personne"
continues his racy recolections of the war, and
ip this connection gives illustrations of Fort Sum-
ter, interior and exterior, as it appeared at the
close of tine great struggle. Another of the
"Funny graphs" is given, but we are disposed to
question the taste of such illustrations in peri
odical of this kind Besides those already men,
toned, the articles in this number varied, and
adapted to the wants Of reading community.
The typographical appearance of the 18th Centu-
ry is une1celled Mr.. G. W. FAINT, at the Post
Office, is the authorized agent, and has for sale
single copies at 80 cents.

THE NEXT CENSUS.

The census of 1870 will cause some important
changes. In l84O the West was represented In
Congress by thirty members; after 1870 1t Will
have eighty-two. In the Eastern States e. very
different result will be produced. Those States
in lS4O had thirty eight members; their repre-
sentation will be but twenty-five after loIo. In
1876, the Atlantic Eastern States, as divided from
the Southern, had one hundred and nineteen Con-
gressmen; after 1870. they will have but eighty
six. More than one-third of the next House of
Representatives, elected after tho census OF 1870,
will be from the West, and, united to the South
west, will constitute clear majority of the men,
bers of that body as we'll as of Presidential cleo
tors. When the census shall be taken and appor-
tionment made for the first time in accordance
with il, the South will have full representation
upon the negroes instead of three, e,hfths of them
as now and heretofore. By this the South will
gain thirteen members at least "Tis well that
power is thus departing from the States that have
long and grossly abused it.

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

The Baltimore Gqzste says that in former days,
whenever the Federal authorities did anything
that seemed to the party out Of power to be ar in
fraction of the spirit or letter of the law, the
whole opposition was wont to sing out in chorus
..keep it before the people," Now, when the Gov
ernment tramples down the very Constitution it
self with the coolest Indifference to the rights or
opinions of its Subjects we are afraid that but lit
tie immediate good will result from keeping its
usurpations before the people. Nevertheless 1t ID
our duty as journalists to vindicate principles
even if the macs Of the people have apparently
ceased to care about them, and to denounce the
wrong, even though some grow weary OF the lam
guage of complaint. In the hope OF the ultimate
regeneration of the country we shall continue TO-
keep before the people the fallen and degraded
condition of our once proud republic. Late
Paris journal commenting on the fact that citI
zen had been confined for two months IN pFlson
without undergoing any examination, remarks;
"That such disregard of individual liberty should
still be possible in France eighty years after the
capture of the Bastile and the suppression oil
lettres de cachet is humating to the country, IN
miliarzed as it has been by every Governm
with Indifference to individual liberty"
Arbitrary arrests, it appears, then excite at
least some indignation in benighted Europe gov
ernei as it is according TO thousands Of American
orators, only by besOted despots. Last week
General Ames, now, by the grace of the bayonet'
supreme ruler over Mississippi, issued to hin sub
ordinaies the following order: "The Commanding
General directs that you do not obey in future any
writ of habeas corpus issued by the United States
District Court or Circuit Court, or any order made
by such Courts for the release of prisoners IN
your custody. Should such writ or order be
served upon you report the fact by telegraph"
Thus at stroke of soldiers pen vanish popular
rights that were won at Runnymcde. ThuH dis
appear provisions for the protection of civil llber-
ty Which Charles Stuart lost his head for violating
Thus vanish into thin air the bulwarks of free III
stitutons erected by the trainers OF the Consl'n-
tion who would have died in their defence. Keep

THE ELECTION IN CALIFORNIA.

At the elections held in California on Wednes-

State generally were successful. 1t is thought
that the next Legislature will be Democratic, and
if so, it will reject the Fifteenth amendment. The
contest has been very spirited, and has enlisted
tho services of United States Senators of both par
ties who happened to be sojourning in California.
The Fifteenth amendment and other questions Of
national Importance were discussed during the
canvass, and on such issues the election turned

might foster that feeling Of brothery love which
should link man TO man, and enable him more per-
fectly to accomplish his mission on earth. We
therefore stand as band Of brothers, with our
hands open to the uttermost abilities, not only TO
crafty the desires of our memberhood, but to
satisfy the wants Of others In this order every
