claim to consideration. When the Bank
issued its bill, it promised to pay the
holder the amount specified on its face.
That promise was made either to create
valid legal obligation, or to work q
fraud. AS it is not conceivable that it
was made for the latter purpose, it must
have been for the former. For every
bill that it issued, the Bank received con-
sideration. For that it made promise
that is contained in the bill. Aud there
is nothing afterwards and between other
parties that can diminish its obligation
to pay that bill according to its face to q
bona Gde holder.
In the case of Furman, Green & Co.
Us. P. l.. Michel, Collector of Taxes, re-
Gently heard and decided in the Supreme
Court of the United States, the question
was considered how far the guaranty of
the State of Tennessee extended. In
the judgment of the Court this Ian
guage is used:
San attempt is made to restrict the
operation Of the guaranty to the person
who, in the course of dealing with the
bank, receives tho notes, and not to ex-
tend further. The guaranty is,
in no sense, personal one. 1t attaches
to the note; is part of it; as much so as
II written on the back of it,. goes with
the note everywhere, and invites every
one who has taxes to pay to take it,"
It would seem from the last mentioned
authority that the State of South Caro-
lima was bound to redeem these bills to
the extent of the original pledge made in
the Act of incorporation, and that GER
tainly was to the amount of the capital
stock furnished by the State. I prefer
to rest my judgment of the liability of
the State, in this case, upon what I re-
gard rs the true and unquestionable
grounds. The Bank is insolyent. The
State is its debtor. It owes first the
amount of capital stock furnished by the
State; and it owes, second, large amounts
borrowed by the State, in addition there
to. The creditors of the Bank, there
fore, have the right to payment of the
amount of the Indebtedness of the State

applied to their debts respectively. SO
fer as the billsiare CONCERNED, this claim
should be for the full amount Of the face
OF said bills, while such bills we're issued
upon specie basis, and, until they were
from which time, taking the date OF the
bill as the data, they should be scaled
like other transactions made with refer
enco to Confederate money.
What havo said in reference to the
bills of the Bank applies, in my judg-
ment, with equal force to the depositors
and other creditors of the Bank whose
claims are unsecured under the Act of
1888. It is, therefore, ordered, that this
case be referred to the Hon. b. F. Dun
kin, as special referee, and that lie call
i'll the two Glasses of depositors repre-
sented in this case, by those who depo-
sited before the war, and those who de-
posted during the war, by advertisement,
published in the Charleston Courier,
Charleston Ne,os and Columbia PHOENIX,
for six weeks. on or before tho 18th day
Of August, 1870, to prove their claims !;
and if snch claims are not so proved,
they will be barred from oil participation
in the assets of the said Bank, or claims
upon the State. And it is further
ordered, that the snid special referee
take proof rs to the character of the in
debtedness to said two classes of depo-
sitors, rs to whether the transactions
were with reference to lawful money of
the United States or Confederate cur
roncy; and such of them as he finds to
have been in Confederate currency, he
will ascertain the value of Zach claim in
the lawful currency of the i nitod States.
And it is further ordered, that .ae said
special referee also ascertain what por-
tions of the bills already proved were
issued with reference to Confederate
currency; and as to such bills, he will
ascertain their value in lawful money of
the United States. And he will also
ascertain what portion of the other debts
already proved were contracted in Con-
federatc currency; and, rs to such debts,
he will ascertain their value in lawful
money of the United States at the date
of the contract. It is further ordered,
that the said special referee ascertain the
amount of the indebtedness of the State
| to the Bank upon the principles of this
decree, giving to the State credit for the
amount Of stocks and other securities
left with the Bank as collaterals, and
giving to the State also credit for the
amount Of the bills redeemed by the

that the said special referee tax the costs
of this suit. and report to this Court on

A lady admirer of Julius" requests
us to publish the following reply to his
gushing letter, published several days
ago:
COLUMBIA, May "a, 70.
MY DEAREST JULIUS: With great de-
light, 1 read your beautifully composed
and highly priced message of love. You
cannot imagine the pleasure with which
l traced those loving lines, penned by
the hand of him, who, above all others
on earth, I adore. You say that you are
melancholy away from your loving Jeru-
sha. Why, then, dear julius, stay away
from, and cause her grief? when you
know that You ore the idol for whom she
would forsake all the earth. Yes, Julius,
you are the delight of my soul, for whom
l cherish an undying love. But, dear
est julius, you cannot think me very
sweet, to be comparing me to puppies,
dough-nuts, and the like; you must think
that feel very sweet, after having had q
comparison drawn between such things
and myself. But I forgot-I suppose
while you were writing that paragraph,
your head was "whirling round like a
bumble-bee in q glass tumbler;" your
eyes were "as wide open rs cellar-doors
in country town." which, I am very
certain, was quite too wide open to see
whatyou were writing, and your thoughts
were wandering towards me. And, now,
deorest Julius, think you not that our
mode Of correspondence is rather pub
lie? Think you not that it would be
more pleasant, if we had our missives of
love all to ourselves? Let us, then, I
say, carry on our correspondence here
after, through the post Office. Believe
me, as ever, your fond and ever-loving
JERUSHA.
