n" SrARTANpURa. The Carolinp Spartan,
OF the 18th, says:
Titus Cooper, a colored man, who
lived in the neighborhood of Glenn
Springs. in this County. was shot and
killed. lew days ago, by colored man,
named George Williams. The cause of
the homicide arose from dispute about
matters connected with their work on
the plantation whers they were en-
ployed. Titus was negro OF good cha
racter-honest and industrious. Geo.
Williams, or (Geo. Gates has not been
arrested. He is supposed to have gone
to Haywood County, N. c., where his
brother is living. -

The Memo DEBT QUESTION. No case
involving the payment of debts contract
ed Tor the purchase of slaves has been
or will be tried at the present term of the
court. When the first case WAS called,
Judge Orr expressed his regret that he
could not concur in tho recent decision
OF the Supreme Court of this State, and
that he would feel himself constrained
to instruct the jury that debts contracted
Tor slaves could not be collected, and
thnt the prohibition in cue State Consti-
tuition was not violation of the Consti-
tuition of the United States. He sug.
gested that it would perhaps be most
prudent to continue oil such cases until
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States upon the question should
be announced. The members of the bar
approved OF the suggestion. and oil that
class OF cases was continued. Judge
Orr has very distinguished precedent
ior his determination in this cnse. In
the case OF the State us Wells, I'D Hill,
6S7, Judge Earle decided that the Con-
gress could not confer jurisdiction on
the State courts to try violations OF the
criminal law Of the United States It
went to the State Supreme Court; the
court reversed his decision. Two years
later, the case of the State vs. Mcbride,
involving the same principle, came be-
t fore him on the circuit. aud he refused
to recognize the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case OF the State vs. Wells.
An appeal was taken, and the remodeletl
Appeal Court OF the State 5verruled the
decision in the case OF the State rs.
Wells, and sustained the position taken
by Judge Earle. This lust case will be
found in Rioe's Law Reports, page 400.

LETTER FROM GENERAL. Eg II,
LEE. HITHERTO FNHsEHs-
LE$HED.
He AdVis eti "a cIiOn" by the South
erD People Under the Recon-
SIructiOn Acts.

From the Banner of the South
LEXINGTON, VA, May %, 1867.
4Uy Dear General:
was very glad to hear from your let
ter of last month, the prosperous condi-
-tion of the Southern Hospital Associa-
ton, and the relief that has already been
afforded to disabled and and needy men.
| trust, that as our political troubles are
reconciled, and business becomes re-estab-
lished and extended in the South, that
the sufferings of all may be relieved.
feel assured that, under the present man.
agement of the Association all will be
done that can be done, and those who are
devoting their time and energies to this
praise-worthy work will receive from
posterity, as well as from the present
generation, the thanks which are due.
As regards the course Virginia NAV
take under the recent laws of Congress,
to which you refer, it is difficult to see
what may eventually be the best. |
think, though, it is plain in the execution
of the laws, that a Convention will be
called, and State Constitution formed.
The question then is, shall the members
of the Convention be selected from the
best available men in the State, or from
the worst. Shall the machinery of the
State Government be arranged and set in
motion by the former or by the latter
In this view of the case, / think it is the
duty of all citizens, not DISTINGUISHED, to
qualify themselves to vote, attend the
polls, and elect the best men in their
power Judge Underwood, Messrs.
Bolts, Hunnicutt, &c, would be well
pleased, l presume, if the business were
left to them and the negroes. But / do
not think this course would be either for
the interest of the State or Country
When the Convention assemblies it Will
be for them to determine what, under the
circumstances of the case, it will be best
for the people to do, and their decision
should be submitted to by all, as the de-
cision of the State | look upon the
Southern people as acting under compul-
sion, not of their free choice, and that it
is their duty to consult the best interest of
their States, as far as may be in their
power to do.
1 hope that all our friends in New Or
leans may do well, and that each NAV
succeed in the business which they have
undertaken. Every man must now look
closely to his own affairs, and depend
upon his own good sense and Judgment
to push them onward. We have but
little to do with general politics. We
cannot control them, but by united eff
forts, harmony, prudence, and wisdom,
we may shape and regulate our domestic
policy.
Please present my kindest regards to
General Beauregard, Longstreet, Hood,
Buckner, and all friends. Wishing you
every happiness,
am truly yours,

of IN Republican Paper
against the Hill 10 repeal the
imprisonment clause Of
the Tax Law.
From the Prairie News.

IOll Int Il At4i News
We notice, in the proceedings of the
Lower House of the Legislature, that a
bill to repeal so much of an ''act entitled
an act to raise revenue to defray the ex-
penses of the government of the State of
Mississippi and for other purposes, APP
proved July 9th, 1870, as imposes fine
and Imprisonment for the non-payment
of taxes" was taken up and passed. In
the affirmative vote we notice the name
of Ambros Henderson, and in the mega
tive that of B. G. Underwood. Should
this bill pass both branches of the Leg
islature, and receive the signature of APP
proval from the Governor, it will not on
lv have the effect of retarding the collec-
ton of taxes, but it will be the means of
insuring delinquent tax list embracing
the names of at least one-third of the peo-
pie of this county. One-third of the
people of the county have never paid their
taxes, and it is but reasonable to suppose
they never will unless there Is some
compulsory measure resorted to by which
it will effect all alike. BY the repeal of
Section IL of the revenue law, it will
have a tendency to bear heavy on the
property holders of the country, for they
viii have to pay their taxes or their prop
erty will be sold under the hammer of
the Sheriff, while the non-property-hold-
er can laugh at the Collector, and tell
him toNmake the taxes if he can, yet these
delinquents will come forward and de-
mand an equal participation for their
children in the public schools and other
beni6ciaries arising from the collection of
taxes. This should not be the case.
