trading between the two ports. 1t was only voy-
age OF two days and half from one place to
the other.
The Ariel was q wooden vessel, and was origl
vet of this city, in 1854. She had several owners
and after several changes, fell into the hands or
the Pacific Mail steamship Company. who, in 1885,
sent her out on the Japanese service. She has not
been to this port since. and has answered the pur-

The dimensions Of the Ariel were Length

spared. Her place will Immediately be taken by

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
WASHINGTON, Nov. & 1873.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 1873.
The United States Supreme Court to-day decided
the OF the State OF South Carolina ex rel
Wagner VS.. Stol, County Treasurer an appeal
from the Supreme Court OF the State involving the
question Of the validity OF the issues or the Bank
OF the State during the war. The charter OF the
Bank, framed In 1872, provided tnat its issues
should be receivable for taxes; but the County
Treasurer now refused to receive them, on the
ground that they were issued in aid OF the re-
beilion and were, therefore, no tender.
The Court below sustained the objection
and the Judgment was for the Treasurer. On a
former argument OF the case in this Court that
Judgment was afflrmed, but upon a re-argument
had at this term there Is change OF opinion and
the judgment IS now reversed, the same judge
writing the opinion the Court holding that as the
iaith OF the State was pledged for these bills the
holders were entitled TO rely upon that credit and
on its protection The credit OF the State could
not be withdrawn without an open and clear
declaration 10 that effect and such a declaration
was not made until 1868, by the repeal OF the char
ter, which was too late to render the bills no ten
der In the present case. One other case was de.
cided by the decision in this. Mr.. Justice Hunt de.
hvered the opinion. and Mr.. Bradley dissented.

A COLoRED JURY.
Twelve sable Men and True Sentence
One Of Their Race to Death for
Murder.

One Of Their Race to Death for
Murder.
WILMINGTON, N. c., Nov. 8, 1873.
The trial OF Dave Martin and Jimmy Anderson,
both negroes, Tor the murder Of q white boy named
Carter, in September last, was brought to close
to-day, resulting in the acquittal OF Anderson and
the conviction OF Dave Martin OF murder In the
first degree. The remarkable feature OF this trial
lies in the fact that the entire jury were negroes.
The accused were negroes, While the victim OF the
murder was white. The Judge sentenced the pris-
oner to be executed on the 2sth instant, In doing
which he remarked that upon the whole 1t was
gratifying TO see and know that In q case OF such
Importance, involving such delicate relations be-
tween the white and black race, a jury OF
black men had rendered verdict accord
ing TO evidence and according TO law.
This verdict presents striking contrast TO one
Just rendered in another State involving similar
Important consequences to them. Here jury of
able to read or write, gave such verdict as the
highest degree OF intelligence and integrity
demanded. There jury OF different race, white
men, educated men no doubt, had rendered ver-
iished and proved iacts, so declared by the Judge
on the bench and so acknowledged by public
sentiment. SO much for the difference OF justice
az administered IN North Carolina His Honor
OF statesmen and law makers. Honest ignorance
should be recognized, while intelligent vice should
be scorned. The community had no reason 10 fear
80 long as men were governed by their convictions
what they had done; no one should be thanked Tor
doing his simple duty. He had no doubt that
jury OF white men, under similar evidence. would
have convicted a white boy OF numbering negro
enced by any feelings OF race or caste. 1t certainly
presented food Tor rejection.
