THE BoNDHOLDERS CASE.

There was a large attendance be-
fore the Supreme Court to hear the
argument in the celebrated bond
holders case on Thursday morning
last. There were present Messrs.
Carroll and Chamberlain, the coun-
sci of the relators, Morton, Bliss
& Co :; the encouragement and G..
D. Melton. Esq, counsel for there
spondent, S. L. Hoge, as comptrol-
Ter : general Of the State; and
Messrs. Memminger, Burt, Porter
and Butler who had been appointed
assistant counsel of the State to
represent the. special interests of
the citizens and taxpayers of the
State, by whom they were EN-:
ployed. Upon the bench were ali
the judges, Chief Justice Moses,
and Assistant Justices Wright and
Willard.
After reading the papers in the
case, a motion was made by Messrs.
Memnlinger and Porter, represent
ing certain bond. holders aud tax
payers of the city Of Charleston,
to be admitted as assistant counsel.
The Court referred the matter to
the acknowledgement, and held that
these gentlemen could be heard
only if such was his request. He
expressed a willingness to be asso-
ciated with the counsel, but declined
to make any request for their aid.
So the Court ruled that they should
not be heard. They design, how
ever, instituting independent pro-
ceedings, which will secure to them
due presentation of the claims Of
their clients. And though not
heard in the argument Of the other
case, the Attorney-General has had
the full benefit of their counsels in
the preparation Of the case. The
correspondent of the Charleston
Ne'os states as general opinion
among lawyers who have given any
attention to the case is that the
mandamus will not be granted,
upon the ground that it is not the
clearly defined ministerial duty of
the comptroller to order the levy.
This would defeat any investigation
into the condition or validity of
the debt.

New YORK, June 13. = At 2
O'Clock this afternoon, all the mu-
nicipal offices were closed as mark
of respect to the memory of the
late United States Minister Orr.
Among those who called at the
Governors room to-day to view
the remains were Major-General
Hancock and staff, who also ac-
cepted invitations. to participate in
the funeral ceremonies. President
Grant telegraphed from West
Point his regrets that his engage
ments would not permit him to be
present. Wilmot DeSaussure, ex-
Grand Master of the Masonic fra

graphed that he was on his way to
this city to attend the funeral.
Twenty Masonic lodges reported at
the City Hall this morning that
they will join in the funeral escort,
and about forty more lodges from

were gathered in the neighborhood.
The funeral services of the late
Minister Orr took place this after:
noon, at 2.30. The City Hall Park

bearers were Hon. S. Fl. johnson,
w. DeSaussure, James Jenkinson,
N. J. Waring, j. D. Hans, j. Phil
lips, John w. Simons, Daniel Sick
les and Albert G.. Mackey. The
band assembled i'll the rotunda of
the City Hall and played some SOL
emn aud mournful dirges. The
pail bearers, with heads uncovered,
took up the coffin and carried it
down to the hearse. The Sir
formed on either side as
the coffin was borne past, and then
filed into marching order. Mayor
Havemeyer and the Common Couu-
Gil, with Grape rosettes, occupied
the carriages in rear of the process
sion. The Knights made a most
spectacle, drawn up in the
park, five deep, with their gorgeous
uniforms, the sun brilliantly reflect
ng from their swords and other

the heaviest of rains and most de-

section Of our County on Saturday
last, overfowing the low-g'ounds,
sweeping away fences and bridges,
and destroying the growing crops.
Many have had their crops on
bottom-land entirely ruined, and
have had to commence the work of
planting anew.

of Mr.. James A. Wright, of Alb:
beville, who died on the afternoon
of Wednesday, the 11th inst, in
the S1st year Of her age, very much
regretted by all who knew her.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted in the Methodist church at
Honea Path, by the Rev. W. T.
Capers, who delivered the discourse
in his most impressive manner to
an appreciative audience of mourn
ing relatives and friends, from the
text, "And let the beauty Of the
Lord our God be upon u.s." He
paid'a high tribute to the Chris:
tian character, and the .self-sacrific-
ing disposition of the deceased, apd
said that he felt sure that she died
with "the beauty of the Lord upon
her" She. leaves two small chill
dren who are unconscious of their
loss. We extend our heartfelt
sympathy to our neighbor and
competitor in this his sad bereave-
ment.
CHURCHES AT HONEA PATH.
At Honea Path there are two
handsome commodious churches,
which have been recently built and
nicely painted. The Baptists have
Rev. A. G. Step for their pastor,
while the Methodists are minister
ed to by the Rev. Mr.. Murray.
Through the courtesy of the Meth
odists the Presbyterians have the
privilege Of wopshipping. in their
church, to whom the Revs. R. A.
Fair and James Fair PREACH once
a month. There are about an
equal number Of Methodists and
Baptists in this community, while
the Presbyterians are not quite SO
numerous. The members of the
various Churches here are jealous
and pay their preachers promptly.
BUSINESS OF RoNEA PATH.
There is considerable business
done here. Over four thousand
bales of cotton are shipped annual
1y from this point. There:are here
about half dozen merchants who
do thriving trade. It is here that
Messrs. James & David McCol-
Tough are doing business, and
have all the evidences of prosper
ity about them. They are build

will soon enlarge their already ex
tensive business.
We had the pleasure of being
entertained during our stay at Hon

Mccullough, who live in their
handsome new house near the de-
pot.
In the afternoon we took a
hasty trip to Greenville, and after

ANOTHER FIZZLE.
The GrNad Match Race At Piney roint
Yesterday.

uo91eroays .A
The advertisement announcing that Poto-
mac Chief and Daisy would trot for a $500
purse at the Piney Branch course yesterday
attracted large crowd to the track, includ-
ing many % our most prominent sporting
mon. A sad disappointment awaited them,
however, as the Potomac Chief, catered by
Harvey Fawcett, unfortunately went lame,
and his owner refused to allow him to ''go."
Daisy, entered by 'owner," appeared and
walked over the track, claiming and winning
the forfeit. When the race was declared of
o number Of scrubs followed, provoking no
little fun. and the customary amount of
wagers, none Of which amounted to sufi-
cient sum to enlist any excitement. A
roam horse, owned by Mr.. Miller, and
driven by Allan Dorsey, carried of the
palm on the course, and II Is understood that
other races Of greater importance and greater
interest will follow from these minor con-
tests. An effort was made to make match
with the tender-footed roadster Of James
Wormley, esq, against anything on the
ground, but the horsemen present seemed to
be aware Of the capacity Of the ungainly
beast, and declined to accept offers In his be-
half In view Of the disappointment the
assemblage dispersed In good humor, and on
the return to the city, by the Seventh-street
road, and the short turn into the Schuetzen
park not few "spurts" occurred between
gentlemen who confidently Dragged on the
capacity of their steeds. II Is understood
that as soon as the Chief RECEIVERS from his
temporary disability the test between him
and Daisy will come of.
