IMPORTANT Casa case of much i'm
portan6e' 'was before the Supreme Court
of the United States. on the 22d. The
title of the case is Hickman against
Belts and others, on error from the
United States District Court, Northern
District OF Alabama. Hickman sued de-
PENDANTS for malicious prosecution and
false imprisonment. In 1868, pending
the war, Hickman was indicted in court
sitting under Confederate authority, for
treason against the Confederate Govern
ment. u pom this charge, he was arrested
and confined in prison from January to
May in that year, and on his trial and
acauittal, was discharged He was sub
jected to heavy expense by the employ
ment of counsel and other causes, and
his suit is to recover that amount and
damages for his imprisonment.
Some of the defendants had acted as
grand jurors in the Confederate court.
and in that character found the indict-
ment, and other defendants, under the
same authority, made the arrest. They
defended themselves upon two grounds:
First, that the court was leg il Que, be-
cause established by Government de
facto. Secondly, because the plaintiff,
as they alleged, had participated in the
rebellion. The court below overruloI
the first ground, and ruled upon the sc.
cond that, if the jury found that the
plaintiff was not, during the entire re-
bellion. loyal to the United States, lie
could not recover. and tho jury found
verdict for defendants rs to the LOYALTY
90 the United States of the plaintiff.
There was conflicting evidence, and
there was evidence from which, it was
said in argument. the jury might have
found that, although the plaintiff was
at first disloyal to the United States, he
in good faith returned to his loyalty
and continued so until the close of the
rebellion, and that this was his condi-
ton when he was indicted and arrested.
The case was argued by Hon. Rsverdy
Johnson, for the plnintiff in error, and
submitted on brief. Richard w. Wal.
ker and George A. Gordan, of Alabama,
counsel for defendants.
It will be seen, that both questions
are Of great public interest. The first
involves Che right of secession and the
legality Of the Governments established
under it, and the other whether party
originally concerned in rebellion, could
not resume his loyalty and have the
protection of the Constitution and laws
of the United States.

following programme for return to spe-

The national banks to redeem their

2. The Government to redeem its
greenbacks in gold after January /,
8. Free banking for NIL parties upon
honds bearing interest at four per cent.
in gold,
4. This point is not quite settled.
There is some division in regard to the
question whether the banks shall be per-
mitted 10 issue notes as now, or whether
the United States shall take charge of all
circulation by the issue of greenbacks on
o plan somewhat similar to that of the
Bank of England. It is, however, un-
derstood that no greenbacks of smaller
denomination than five or ten dollars,
will be issued.
The free banking clause of this pro-
gramme, which finds great favor among
those who have been permitted to see it,
was inserted to satisfy the Western
States, where the greatest obstacles to
o resumption of specie payments now
exist.

APPEAL.
Women of South Carolina, there needs
no urgent appeal to your sympathies in
a cause SO sacred as that which we now
undertake. The great tide of adversity
which hos swept over our unhappy land,
has hitherto stihed effort in this direc-
ton; but not. therefore. have our hearts
ceased to beat for the glorious dead.
Scarcely is there one among us whose
thought does not, on the first mention
of our object, turn at once, with loving
affection. to some grave which this
monument is intended to honor.
Mothers. widows, sisters, daughters,
whose hearts thus cling to the soldiers
grave, let us then unite with an earnest.
loving effort in this holy duty. Let even
our lisping little ones be brought to give
their mite to its accomplishment; that
thus impressed upon their minds, they
may never forget to love and honor the
memory of those who bsttled and fell in
our cause. If lost cause, even there
fore the more holy. Even therefore
does it become the more incu mbent upon
ms, to bring to this great sacrifice of pure
purpose and heroic deed, that homage
and veneration which the world paws
only to success.
With the wish that all who have shared
In common sorrow, may share also in
the privilege of raising this testimonial
to our lost heroes, the annual subscrip
ton for membership is put at the lowest
point practicable; that thus it may be
within the reach of those, who, having
little to give, have still the right, through
tears and suffering, to join us in the full.
flment of this most sacred duty.
10 all others-men as we'll as women,
old and yonng-to all who cherish the
name of Carolinian, and cling with a
fond love to whatever is left to us of our
good old State" we would say, give to
us freely according to your means; give
generously; give gratefully to the memo
ry OF those who gave their lives for us.
