The Bank. of the State.
.WAsH1SaroN, November g.

WASHINGTON, november 5.
The United States Supreme Court to.
day decided the case of the State of South
Carolina, exrelatione T. D Wagner against
Stoll, county treasurer, on appeal from the
Supreme Court of the State, involving
the question of the validity ,ofthe issues
Of the Bank of the State during the war.
The charter Of the bank. framed in 1872,
provided that the issues should be receiv-
able for taxes but the county treasurer
refused to receive them On the ground that
they were. issued in aid Of the rebellion,
and were, Therefore, no tender The court
below sustained the objection, and the judg-
ment was for the treasurer. Onra former
argument of the. case in,qthis court that
judgment was affirmed, /, but, upon rear
gument, had at this term, there's is change
Of opinion, and the Judgment is now re-
versed, the same Judge writing the opin-
ion. The court holds, that, as IS the faith
OF the State was pledged for these bills,
the holders were entitled to rely upon that
credit and to its protection The icredit
of the State could not be withdrawn with
out an open and clear declaration to that
effect, and suchla declaration was not made
until 1865. by the repeal of the charter,
which was too late to render the bills no
tender IN the present case.

The BIlls of the Bank OF the , state

The decision Of the Supreme Court of
the United States in regard to these bills
will necessarily present to tile Legislature
matter for serious consideration: That deci-
sion establishs two facts, now no longer oper,
for discussion. One, that the faith Of the
State is pledged for the redemption OF
these bills the other, that they are to be
received for taxes due to the State These
bills, therefore, are a part Of, the public
debt, and, as part Of that public debt,
have been so recognized by. the highest
judiclal tribunal.in the United States.s TAe
practical question, therefore, riowpresent-
ed % the Legislature is, In What manner
shall this subject be dealt with? y How
can itbe SO arranged that it will not bear
heavily ION the. people? .How shall We
escape from an uncomfortable increaseuof
hi1e.ie; sis: ii;... zttq4,!g,
1t seems to ius that the whole matter
may be 50, dealt with, that the public faith
shall be preserved, While. at the sameitime
the public. convenience will be promoted.
And our suggestion Is slmpl this Let
the Legislature,iin providing for thetfre
ceivabllity. of these bills, further provide
that they may be paid ut by the Treasu-
ry in discharge Of claims against the Stlte.
In the case Of the Blue Ridge .Railrfa;i
Scrip it was so provided; and, without
any of the objections which were made
against that issue, that provision may
well be enacted in regard to these bills. |
The bills are not bills Of. credit; they ale
the bills of corporation which have been
guaranteed by the State, and which, be-
cause Of the quality they possess in belrg
received for taxes, would ;lways, have a
certain fixed value This would, Of course,
make them, as 5 circulating medium, very
mtc! better than any other paper whirh
the Legislature could issue; and, under
the existing pressure because Of the wan!'
of currency, would seem to be'a mode Of
giving relief TO the people. e:o =
We make this suggestion to the Legis- |
lature, and it:seems TO us to- be the mode
in which, as we have said, the pubic :aith
is maintained, while The PUBLIC convent
ence is, regarded Charlesion News d

There's nothing like good, solid, absorbing
work to. cure trouble. Ii you have met

If YOU say you don't feel like work, and

For the Advertiser.

Mr.. EDIToR,-I noticed few months
ego a publication in your valuable pa=
per, signed Facts and Fancy" He had
q good deal to say about shattertield
Court House, and vicinityi somewhat
inclined to make light Of its prosperity,
its goodpeople, &c. :" Shatterfieldp gave
him sky-rocket, and bomb-shell or
two, and few canister shots, that so
nearly killed him, that have not heard
word from him since. Mr.. Editor, if
you know anything of his whereabouts,
nlease inform him that Shattertield is all
right; her improvements ARE steadily
gaining ground; brand new gin house
has been erected, and run by water,
power; also steam mill has been put
up by Hutchinson q Devore, in the piney
woods of that locality, which makes
"lumber howl"
But Mr.. Editor, let US turn our atten-
ton to u more thriving place and section
than that of /" Shatter6eld Court House."
viz: Kirksey's x Roads and vicinity,
and when 1 have gotten through please
let Facts and Fancy" take peep at the
picture,-if he can be found. Kirksey's
X Roads is in the centre Of Gray Town
ship-a place that has many good deeds,
and there are many who cherish fond drecol
lectiops OF that dear section, though they
live in other States. 1t has given birth to
many valiant soldiers, both in the State
and Church, and to-day it stands first
in the ranks of civilization, conservative
in principle, and firm in politics, as
shown by the late ballot box, when COM
pared to any. other Township in the
County. We are more free from the
power of Radicals and Scalawags, per-
haps, than any other section in the State,
since the death of old man "Heck."gi
Now for her improvements and inter-
nal resources. There is the jug Factory,
run by Bodie & Co. It's of old standing,
and for twenty years has beenin success
full operation, turning out thousands of
gallons of stone ware every year; and
by the way, the best made in the South;
ern States, without any exception. They
have the very best ma.erial-durable,
nice and fancy The firm has also extended
their business into thatof making bricks
good, hard and durable. They. are
burnt in the furnace with the ware, and
are decided improvement on the bricl;
question. Near by the Factory is large
store run by 20; Sheppard q Co. THAT
popular man and Mason, and our /" Dis
rriet Deputy Grand Master" Ifs yop
want good and cheap bargains call on
them. Their stock is large and fine,
recently filled to the utmost. One mile
North of this, is. the celebrated Steam
