A DEPOT 1T GRAHAM,s TURNo UT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
desire to call attention, through the col
umns of your journal, to o matter which con-
Germs the Interests and wishes ofthc people Of
Grahams Turnout and surrounding country.
One of the military necessities of the late
war, was 10 deprive the above place of Its de-
not, and since It's destruction by Sherman's
army, the South Carolina Railroad Company
has not erected another in Its stead. This has
caused O great deal of inconvenience to the
country people, who have their wares and mer-
chandlse shipped to this point, to say nothing
of the unnecessary expense involved OF having
them stored away by those living there.
A goodly number of people haul cotton and
other produce to Graham's Turnout, for ship
mcnt to Charleston and other markets. and to
the same point variety of merchandise is
shipped every year.
Under these circumstances, are not the
patrons of the Soutl. Carolina Railroad. at this
point, entitled to share Ut that consideration
which has induced the company to erect depots
at other points on its line, for the accommoda-
ton and benefit Of the surrounding cOmmu-
nifty?
We hope the company will see the impor-
tance of supplying this long-felt want, and go
to work at once and build depot for the
benefit of those Interested. PAYSAN.

One of the most novel dramatic entertain

One of the most novel dramatic entertain
ments ev~" offered to public is attracting
large houses in London. It Is o combination
of Dantomine and readings. Mr. j. NJ. Bellen
stands in the orchestra of St. Georges Hall to
read .'Hamlct." The curtain rises and dis
closes most beautiful and carefully-painted
scenery. Actors and actresses, whose dresses
are said to be more rich and elegant than are
usually found even in the elaborate revivals Of
Shakespeare, walk about the stage, gesticu-
late and move their lips, but are silent. Mean
time Mr.. Been reads the text, assuming each
of the characters successfully. The Judgment
of the London press is that while each of the
two departments of the play, the acting and
the reading, is admirable in itself, the two do
not harmonize. There is, of course, no illusory
effect when a lady moves about the stage and
pretends to speak while mans deep voice re-!
peats the words OF play. The highest praise is
accorded to the reading of Mr. Bellen. as
being $50 impressive, so original, SO fun OF
passion and purpose, that the spectator may
well feel inclined to wonder that such mas
ter of elocutiOn should have allowed thought
about accessories to enter his mind, and to
close his eyes to prevent his attention from
being distracted by the action on the STAGE"
and the tableauX, as such, are pronounced to
be ''redolent Of genius and research"

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
n ap,urea and Abandoned Property.

In the United States Supreme Court, on Mon-
day, decisions were annonnccdin the case OF
the United States VS.. Nelson Anderson, and
three other similar cases, all appeals from the
Court of Claims.
These were actions brought to recover the
proceeds of captured and abandoned property
Under the third section OF the act OF March
10Th. 1868. The act provides that any person
claiming to have been the owner of such pro-
perty may ut any time, within two years after
the suppression of the rebellion, prefer his
claim to the proceeds In the Court OF Claims,
residue shall be paid over to the claimant after
deduction of expenses attending the DISPOSE
lion Of the property.
The government urged before the court
below that the actions were not brought with
in two years from The time OF the suppression
of the rebellion in the several localities where
the claimants resided, and that such llmita-
ton was the Intention OF the act; also that the
Court of Claims could not determine the
amount Of the net proceeds OF the cotton and
give Judgment fer IL specific sum. Both oo-
iectiOns were overruled, and judgment given
for the claimants The government appeals
to this court where the judgment below is now
affirmed, Mr.. Justice Davis delivering the
opinion.
The court say, in substance, that it cannot
be supposed that this act was intended to
operate specially in respect to localities and
tic date of the suppression Of the rebellion
therein, but it must be considered to refer 10
the tlaIe of the suppression of the rebellion
throughout the country and to apply general
ly TO all SECTIONS; also that it could not have
been the intention OF Congress 10 leave that
question TO bc determined by the people for
themselves, or that the people were bound to
take notice of the date OF the suppression Of
the rebellion whenever it occurred, AMI to
govern themselves accordingly, in regard to
these claims and all other matters.
Some official mode of determining the qlIes-
ton must he considered to have been conteln-
plated by Congress. Accordingly Congress, by
the act of March 2d, 1867, recognized the 10Th
OF August, 1866, as the time of the close of the
rebellion, the date Of the proclamation of the
President, aud that date is to be regarded for
all purposrs of litigation as the day Un which
the rebellion ceased. The objection that the
Court of Claims could not determine the
amount of the proceeds and give Judgment tor
a specific sum, could not be maintained with
out holding That that court was mere COM
mission, which this court declined to assert.
