The Joint High COMMISSIONS h {
Legal-Tender Decision.

WASHINGTON, April 81.
The Joint High Commission has adjourned to
May 81, when, it is understood, the clerks will
have tile treaty in shape.
The impression is general that the opinion
ofthe Supreme Court. on Monday will be adj
verse in some, II not in all respects, TO the
late decision regarding the legaI-tender act:
but it is impossible by open and fair means to
obtain the facts.
Colonel Ruger has been appointed saperln-
dent of West Point.
Collector Wallace, Of the Third South Caro-
lima District, reports that Deputy Marshal
Sherman. while Selling contra5and whlskey
at Grecnville, was struck on the head from
behind. and his skull fractured. Result, pro-
baby, fatal.
The Georgia case, recently argued before
the Supreme Court, involving the value OF
notes for slaves, will not be decided until
another case from Arkansas is argued, which
will not probably occur until December.

4 NICE POINT
NEW ORLEANS, Apri,

Two colored graduates Of the Howard Uni
versity, District of Columbia, were this morn
ing applicants at the Supreme Court for adj
mission TO the bar OF this Suite. The applica-
ton was refused. on The ground that although
parties who have pracsiced before the Sill.
prene Court Of any State can be admitted
upon motion before the court, yet these
candidates, coming from q territory, do not
come within the letter of the law, and will
have 20 pass au examination bya committee
appointed by the Supreme Court before they
can be admitted 10 practice.

A Divine Dispcnsation has caused TO be ta'
ken from our midst our highly esteemed
friend and brother, DR.. G. ]. SHANNON
His noble traits as man, his elevated char
.acter and gentlemanly bearing, his amiablliy
and great worth require no eulogy at our
hands. An eloquent pen has paid just trib.
ute to'them. II becomes Us as his associates
in professional sphere, to offer our testimony
TO the constant and unwaverlng courtesy that
characterized his intercourse with ourselves,
70 his forbearng demeanor and gentle manner
and to his warm interest in all that concerned
the welfare OF this Association and of which
he was bright, yet unobtrusive ornament.-
Be it therefore.
Resolved That in the death of Doctor C..
] SHANNON. this Association mourns an
irreparable loss.
Resolved That in testimony of our high
appreciation oi his character as physician,
we dedicate page in our minute book 10 his
memory.

sincere assurances of sympathy and condo.
lence.

For the Journal.

Mr.. ED1roR- l saw in the last num-
ber ofSthe JOURNAL, an appeal to, or
rather demand on the Town Council.
of Camden, to proceed at once to fur,
nish that noble old company, the l. +.
E. Company, with a new engine. Now,
sir, from facts elected from the various
members of Council and their worthy
Intendant, I can probably throw some
light on the subject.
The Council feel the Importance OF
sustaining that noble old organization,
who have so often shown themselves as
valiant soldiers in many hard fought
battle, not fighting with Enfield rifles
and oblong blue Pills, but fighting the
devouring element, fire, until some of
their gallant corps have fallen in bat
tie, aud by the assistance of kind
friends, been carried almost seuseless to
the rear.
There is no member of the Council
who does not appreciate the services of
this noble company, and none who have
not racked their brain, to devise some
plan to purchase an Engine, worthy Of
such company. But to the reason
why. By permission. have taken a
peep at the tax books of the town for
the past year, find there Six Humid.
red and thirty-three dollars and fourteen
cents, due the town, and this, from those
who are perhaps as much interested in
having an efficient Fire department, as
any citizens of Camden. When the
taxes are withheld under some little
(supposcG technical fawin the man
ner CT collecting them (and this We
have no doubt will be .overruled by the
Supreme Court, where it will coy it is
utterly impossible for the Council to 60
beyond the receipts of revenue, even if
the town is thereby exposed to the de-
vouring element. Were the amount
justly due, from the source above named,
paid, that amount would be sent by
first express to contractor who has
offered them a superior Engine for
sl,2C0, half cash, time allowed on the
balance. This, and this alone, Mr..
Editor, is the reason why this noble
Company is deprived Of the possession
of superior Engine. CIVIS.

The Return ofReason.

Tuesdays mail brought us a special
message from Gov. Scott in relation to
the troubles in the up-country. The
spirit and. temper of the document is
highly coinmendable, and We do not
hesitate to o say that it will be received
by all good citizens as indicative of a
desire on the. part of the Governor to
do justice to our people, and he will be-
heartily assisted in his efforts to con-
serve the peace by the arm of civil au-
thority, BY all. who love the quiet of
South, Carolina. 'a We give the message,
in order that our readers may judge for
themselves. When we see indications
of sense of justice towards ell the citi-
zens Of the State, by the Executive
or any other branch Of the Government,
we are ready to meet them half way
While it may be, and doubtless is, a
deserved rcbuke to- the extremists of
the Republican Legislators, it is the first
glimmer of hope which our silenly suf-
fering people; have been vouchsafed,
and as such, We welcome it, and we are
sure that we represent the true senti-
ment of all good citizens, when we de-
clare our. purpose to aid in bringing
about by every means in Cur pewcr a
good understanding between the Co
vernon and hitherto much and wrong
fully abused whites Of the State.
