"pRo BONO PUBLICO."

At the present day no sane and intel
ligent man will deny the great benefit
accruing to our people from just sys-
tenn Of Life Insurance.
1t is no longer question whether a
man should or not insure-for If ne is
the provident husband and father he
should be, he will not neglect this para
mount duty. The hue and cry of PA
tronize home institutions,'' "Keep your
money at home," fails to find its wonted
enchantment, and our people are ava
kening to u just appreciation Of their in
terest to themselves and their families,
and are no longer lulled by the strange
infatnation that no good can come out OF
Yankeednm-what we Southern people
want in Life Insurance are two things
first of all perfect security, which no
Southern Company has given except the
Piedmont & Arlington, it having passed
J the rigid inspection of the Insurance
department of New York--after security,
we should ask ourselves this important
question, where can get the most insu.
rance for the very least outlay of money
(Thc Universal Life of New York claims
and cap maintain that claim, that she is
not deficient in either of these essentials
AS to security she is upon the same basis
of all New York companies; whicl!
places her above suspicion, and as to hel
rates, she defies competition. All de-

Humphrey MarshaI-Tho Scene at the
Death-bed.

We copy as follows from the coari
erJournal, of the GOTH: 49,.
Hon. Humphrey Marshall died at
his residence, in this city, at ?! o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, of general acute
bronchitis. The city was startled by
the announcement, for his Hines was
of such short duration that tew'had
/ even heard Of it,. ~ -
Gen. Marshall went to Frankfort a
week ago yesterday, on professional
business. On Friday, he ate 4 hearty
dinner and retired TO his DOM for an
afternoon nap. When he awoke, he
found himself suffering from a severe
burning and smotbcring sensation in
the breast. These symptoms ,contin-
ued to affect him so severely that ne
came home on Saturday and took to
! his bed. DR.. Force was called in on
Monday, and attended him during
his short and fatal illness. The smoth-
erinp sensation continued so severe
that tho doors and windows Of the
sick chamber were kept open both
day and night. Mrs. Marshall. his
wife, was in Mercer County at the
time, aud though sent for as soon as
|the Generals indisposition became
dangerous, could not arrive until after
his death. Two daughters and one
son and other members of: the family,
however were at his bedside. He
suffered severely, . was very restless,
and satupright in his bed most Of the
time. He seemed aware several days
ago CT his approaching end, and
awaited 1t calmly. Yesterday after
noon, one of his daughters. Mrs. strad:
er, assisted him to rise up in bed, and
while resting upon her arm, he sud
denly remarked, ,'"lt is all over and
then dropping back upon the pillow,
died without Il struggle. The body, at;
ter being laid out, was visited during
the afternoon by q large number Of the
members Of the bar and prominent
citizens.
The General has been in feeble
health during the whole of the past
winter, and on several occasions got
ont of sick bed to attend to lnlpor-
tant professional duties. ..... .

The License Law.

It is proposed to test the consti'
tutionality of the License Law
passed by the recent Legislature
The Courier says:
In pursuance Of the adjournment
of Saturday last, a public meeting
of the citizens was held yesterday
in the Hall Of the Bank of Charles
ton to devise some means of test
ing the eopstitutionallty Of the Iii
cense Law, passed by the last Gen
eral Assembly. A large number
of gentlemen were present repre-;
senting all the various classes taxed
by the License Law. NJ. W: 9.

On Saturday, submitted q verbal
report. lie stated that. the commit
|tce had had conference with the
Attorney General Mr.: D. III Cham
berlain, in which that gentleman
Lhad expressed his willingness to
make test cases of each class OF
business included in the law, with
as little delay as possible. But that
| he could not undertake to stay pro-
ceedipgs against all of, the cases Of
infringement of the law. The
committee had also an interview
with Mr.. seabrook, the Solicitor OF
| the Criminal Court, who refused to
suspend the trial of cases, unless
authorized by the Attorney General,
orJudge of the Court. Judge Lee,
when approached by the, committee
with the request to authorize the
fSolicitor to withhold prosecutions
from the Grand Jury, in all but the
test cases, had declined to do So
but had expressed a willingness tc
leave the matter to the discretion
of the Solicitor. 1t was evident tt

Shooting HAYDEN went to the house of Wilson

shooting Hayden went to the house of Wilson
Ellis, u Justice of the. Peace, and surrendered
himself into custody. Justice Ellis held him
to bail to await the final result of Smiths
wound, and after the death of the latter, Cor0-
ner A. P. Jewell held an inquest on the body
and the jury rendered verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death by pistol shot sup
posed to have been fired by James Hayden.
On the following Monday morning Hayden
appeared before Justice Ellis, with his counsel,
L. 1. Beatty, Esq, and after u thorough ex-
animation OF all witnesses that were present,
the, examination lasting two days,-Hayden
was discharged. 1t is singular that, OF all the
men that were preseut-and there were some
twenty or more in the saloon at the time, all
of whom were mutual friends OF both parties
not one spoke or tried to stop the fight, and
l regret to say that Deputy Sheriff was
among the number present. They all left the
house with rush. Mike was behind the bar
aud was unable to get to the parties, for it all
took place in few seconds, us the witnesses
testified that it was not more than ten to
twelve seconds, and there was no discrepancy
in their testimony. Mr. Mulkey. Smiths part
ner, was present and saw it all, but he says
that he was like all the others, almost para
lived. and did not know what to do. Every
one regrets the death of Smith, and he will be
much missed in this section, US he was an en-
ergetic business man whose place 1T will be
hard to fill. Yours, b. L. L.

THE LEGAL TENDER DEcisioN.-The tele.
graphic dispatches contain a synopsis of the
decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States on the legar tender question. As sur.
missed, months ago, the decision was secured by
adding two new Judges-Strong and Bradley
to the bench, whose opinions were known be.
forehand, and thus securing majority of the
Judges, the former decision of the same court
in the case of Hepburn VS.. Grswold was over
ruled. The decision goes to the extent that any
debt contracted either before or after the pas
sage of the legal tender act, can be paid in
greenbacks. The Sacramento Union says of
the decision which was rendered by Justice
Strong, that 1.-THE arguments are wanting in
logic, and will inevitably fail to become popular
or enduring" and that "a few years will work
other changes in the bench, and We may then
hope for return to better judgment" 1t was
undoubtedly political decision. and will BE-
so regarded in mercantile circles, at least, if
not by the thinking men Of all parties. JUS
tice Strong, in bis opinion, says that "there
can be no valid obligation to pay particular
kind of money, even If both parties understand
and expectpayment so to be made" Upon that
theory no valid obligation or contract of any
kind, either for work or labor to be rendered,
or Tor the delivery of goods or chattles of n
specified kind could be enforced. If such is
the law, disciples Of Blackstone hereafter may
avoid porting over the musty tones which have
been heretofore regarded as the text books,
and enormously supposed to contain the ele-
nents and ground work Of oil law, common or
statute.
