Charleston, Dec. An the Ku-Klux
trials at Columbia to-day, Mr.. Stanberry
for the defence, moved to quash the indict-
ment against Crosby and others, upon
these, among other grounds: That the
names of the persons injured are not men,
toned in the Indictment; that the grand
jury had decided as to the law, instead OF
the facts that the indictment was defective
in stating the deprivation to vote as taking
place at future day, as the United States
constitution and law does not secure to
any citizens the right to vote; and that the
State, and not the Federal courts, must re-
dress such personal grievances as those
complained of. Mr.. Stanberry argued fol-
two hours in support of his objections.
Mr.. Corbin, for the government, asked
for time, and replies tomorrow.

argument Of yesterday, the main point OIL
both replies being that the Indictment was
drawn in the exact words of the Congress
sional statute, and was, therefore, potent.
Hon. Reverdy johnson will begin the
closing argument for the defence on the
motion to quash the indictment, tomorrow

AN IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE
SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court at jackson on
Friday last decided that in an action
upon contract for the payment of so
many dollars in gold, the plaintiff has
the right to demand the gold in specie;
and in the absence Of such demand his
measure of damages will be the value Of
the gold in legal tender treasury notes
at the time said gold should have been
paid under the contract" The instru-
ment sued upon was due bill for two
hundred dollars in gold and payable on
demand. The decision was rendered by
Judge Sneed, and is quite lengthy and
exhaustive. Resting upon the sound
doctrine of the law-that in the enforce
ment Of contracts the courts must give
effect to the intention of the parties, and
when, therefore, it appears to be the clear
intent of a contract that satisfaction
shall be made in gold, damages should
be assessed in coin and judgment rem
dered accordingly.
