Letter of President Millett,
ENTERPRISE,

In connection with tho above We
annex the following letter from
Stephen c. Millett, President of the
Port Royal Rail Road Company, ad
dressed to Mr.. w. B. Dorm, Of oul
District, which though not intended
for publication, is 80 well calculated
to awaken interest in the subject, and
advance tho objects proposed, that VIC
make no apology for presenting it to
our readers:
PLANTERS HOTEL, AUGUSTA, GA.
April 4th, 1870. I
Mr.. w. B. Dorm, Liberty uill,
Co., S. C.,-Dear SIR
Pardon me for troubling you, stran-
ger as I am to you. Through my ef:
forts the Port Royal Railroad Compa-
ny was dug up, and now by August
or September, hope to sec tho cars
run through from Augusta to the
Sea. 1t was contracted or to bc done
August 1st, but the weather has been
b bad, that we may be delayed 80 or 4 Q
days. but 1 don't think moro. l wish
to learn about tho Savannah Valley
Railroad Company? and if the old
Company could be dug up? or if VIC
had better got a new charter? ?-m
if l can see the old profile and mans
of the Company and if there would
be any hope of raising any money
along the line, and if tho right OF
way could be procured by free gift
for tho most Of the way? 1 shall be
in Augusta, for week or ten days, and
then shall return to Beaufort, IS. g..
where make my headquarters.
should be glad to confer with yon.
think if I can get a proper charter,
the right of way, and some money
subscribed by the local inhabitants, l
can build tho road.
Hoping to hear from you, I am
yours truly.
STEPHEN G. MILLETT,
President Port Royal Railroad
Company.

DR.. Lardncr Gibbor, writing from
Mexico, for the Greenville Enterprise
declares the soil and climate Of. the
mountain region. Of South Carolina, to
be well adapted to tho growth Of the
Cinchona tree, from the bark of which
1uininc is made; and tho Enterprise
hopes that by another year an cxper.
mental plantation of this valuable
and profitable tree will be started on
some one Of the mountain slopes near
Grccnvjllc. So tho next new and
wonderful thing will possibly be

IN tho Columbia phanis, Of Tho
goth inst 4 lctter 10 published from
Col. James Il. Rlub, of winnsboro,
who having gone On to New York Ct.
ty, for tho purpose Of Initiating him
self into tho practice undcr our new
Codo - IN other words having
gono TO New York to learn South
Carolina law.--writcs rs follows,
81 find OUR Code to be n reprint o.
the New York Code. mntutis muianais
with extracts from tho "Rcviscd Statu
tcs" added For "tusticc of tho Pca"c'
"Trial Justice" to be substituted
!! for some reason which, If good, ough,
to cause 'Trial Judge" to conss:;."t' onss::. y.
"Circuic Judge" in which case the
Governor might appoint these func.
tionarics. The greatest change is
that relating to the lien Of judgments
which is Il mystery the Now York
lawyers cannot solve for me. The
pleadings, &c, in a case under the
Code, are very simple (when you
have learnt them L bring home
with Inc three complete records, judg-
mcnts, &C., inclusive; one on money
demand no dclcnce, tho second on
verdict by jury, and tho third on de-
cree by Judge on issue Of law"
IL will now give You Il few conclu.
sions l have arrived at. The Com
missioncrs have done tho best they
could in adopting the New York
Code. 1t would have required South
Carolina lawyers to carry out tho pro.
vision Of the Constitution "to revise
simplify and .abridge tho rules, prac-
ticc, pleading and forms of the Courts
nor an usc IN THIS .Statc." The plead
inss and practice under the Code are
eery compi'r, rs evidenced by the innu-
merable decisions in the foregoing re-
ports upon the Code. Before any
such a system rs the Code can simpli-
iy what, in its very nature is COM
plcN, some power must be invoked
that will revise and simplify the hu-
man mind. The new or revised sps-
Iem adopted in England would have
been the best one for us, and been in
accordance with the requirements Of
the Constitution"

lumbia, April 81, 1S7O.-Whcrc rea
estate conveyed in trust had been
sold, md the proceeds, which consist
ed OF bonds and mortgages Of the
said estate, were to be invested in
other land, the trustee accepting Con
federato treasury notes in payment
three years after the bonds were due
and holding said notes one year, and
then investing them in Confederate
States securities, held liable for tho
loss.
lie would have been excused if he
had shown that before their receipt
he had made a contract for the pur.
chase of land, to be paid for in the
same kind Of notes, which, without
fault on his part, had miscarricd, or
even If he had proved after their. ac.
ceptancc active cndcavors to make
such purchase.
1t 10 no excuse for the investment
in Confederate bonds, that unless hr
so appropriated the notes they were
subject TO a large depreciation. He
voluntarily placed himself in the posi-.
lion, and must abide tho colse.
quenccs.
Where trustee, receiving from the
debtor Of the estate satisfaction OF
the bonds in Confederate money, ac-
cepts his own notes in part payment,
and shows that tho creditor was will.
ing to accept such bills for his notes.
and that he, the. trustee, has the
ready means to rcplcnish or acquire
an equal sum, it is no breach Of trust
otherwise, if without such ability
