In the Supreme Court, the case of the State
Of South Carolina, eX relalione Theo. D. Wag-
ner va. the treasurer of Charleston County,
was decided to-day. The question involved
in this case was whether the treasurer was
bound to accept the bills OF the Bank OF the
Stats OF South Carolina In payment OF taxes,
the allegation being that the charter OF the
bank made its bills receivable for alfpublic
dues. The county treasurer answered that
these bills having been issued In 1861, and In
cid Of the rebellion, were not legal tender,
and that the charter under which the bills
were rendered had been repealed.
The question was first decided by q jury in
favor of the bank, but the Supreme Court OF
the State of South Carolina held that the clause
requiring the State to receive the bills In pay
ment of taxes was subsequently, repealed.
Tnis ruling Is sustained by the United States
Supreme Court, aud the Judgment OF the
Supreme Court of the State is affirmed.

The Traffic In Slaves In Egypt.
The correspondent of the London Daily Tel
egraph, who accompanies Sir Barlle Frere's
expedition to take steps for the abolition of
the slave-trade In Africa, In recent letter,
sends the following notes Of the traffic In
slaves In Egypt: Every class of society, from
Fashas and Beys down 10 petty Bhopkeeper,
indnlges in the luxury and vice which IL af-
lords. No Que can pretend TO respectabiliLy-
sort oil social franchsp-wLhout this proper
~ qualification. No unmarried man can ob
tain lodgings In a respectable quarter of a
town unless he has a vile or female slave.
Thus men who visit large centres OF business,
and who are compelled 10 live there among
the people Tor some time, buy female slaves,
whom they resell or otherwise dispose OF
when they leave for their homes. All this,
taken together with the extent of the coun.
Try and The population, warrants the
conclusion that The absorption OF slaves
in Egypt is enormous. There are nc
open markets In Cairo, such as the mart at
ZaDz bur, for the sale of slaves; but am in.
formed by natives that private establishments
for The purpose abound In the native town,
where on Egyptian can buy slaves without
any difficulty whatever. Such is also the case
In every town 10 The interior, where the traffic
is more open. There are two races of slaves
sold in Egypt, the white and black. The
former are imported from Turkey, are highly
priced. and are bought only by the rich. They
are generally made concubines. OF course
young and good-looking girls fetch high
prices, amounting In some cases TO thousands
of pounds. Before being sold, they are usual
lY taught certain mplishneDts valued BY
Turkish and Egyptian voluptuarea, such az
singing, in some cases music, and invariably
the gait and behavior of a high. class lady. Al

The New Bedford Mercury tells the
following wonderful tale Of college ha-
zing: at occurred, II we remember
correctly, in 1862. It was noticed by

college halls, with q miserable apology

two chairs as the sum total OF their out.
ct. It was learned, alsO, that they pro-
posed to board themselves, and had
only a few dollars for their food during
the term. On this hint they acted.
One night the poor, trembling youths
were summoned by 'sopb, who was
not over courteous, to go 10 n room up
stairs. Up stairs they went, pale and
trembling, expecting to be dealt with
without mercy. They were detained
there an hour or so, not being molest-
ed, but only quizzed by the circle OF
sophs' in the room. Then they were
dismissed to their own room. When
they entered it it was over nice new
carpet. There was q tasteful bedstead
and appurtenances, q study table, chairs,
lamp, a bookcase, a stove, ETC., and in
n closet they found provisions for seve.
ral days. This was hazing TO a blessed
purpose. We fear that the example

The reports Of tho condition Of the
iron trade in the north OF England show
that the system Of arbitration between
capitalists and workmen, which has
been the outgrowth Of strikes aud Pro.
tectiye Unions, is bearing good fruit.
A few years ago the statement that the
iron workers demanded an increase and
the iron.mRsters adecrease in the rate
OF wages, would have been the prelude
to protracted strike, involving great
loss TO employer and employed as well
as to the community at large. But now
this statement is followed by the in.
formation that the whole question will
be dealt with by the Board OF Arbitra-
ton for the north OF England iron trade
at the next meeting, and that there is
no doubt that the decision, like those
hitherto given, will be satisfactory. All
the iron workers and iron.masters OF
the district are controlled by the dc.
cision OF the Board, which body settles
tue rates Of wages TO be paid for the
ensuing three or six months, and at the
end OF the time thus agreed upon the
Board reassembles to hear the com.
plants and claims of employers and
workmen, and again fixes the rate to
be paid for limitedperiod OF time. A
similar system is pursued in the coal
mining regions Of Pennsylvania.

A Molcrn MARTYR.

When, only few weeks ago, the
cholera was raging in the slums Of Der.
lin, n young physician, scarcely past his
thirtieth year, made himself remarked
by tho holiness and persistoncy with
which he entered the infected quarter,
and the apparent recklessness with
which he exposed himself to the con-
tagion. II is worth while that his name
should be recorded and well rcmem.
bcred; it was Otto Obermeir. He had
another object in view besides that OF
relieving and, II possible, curing, the
poor creatures whom he visited; he pro.
posed to himself to investigate, in the
presence of the living pestilenco itself,
its causes and its development. Al
last, the brave Young soul thought that
he had discovered the clue; and, with n
heroism rs far above the lleroism of the
battlefield as it is noblcr to sacrifice
ones self to save men than to destroy
them, he resolved to test his discovery
upon himself.
It was M awful experiment. ober-
meir knew full well that hc siakcd his
life against tho hope OF conquering the
cholera. Obtaining from one of his pa.
TENTS some OF the deadly choleraic
germs, lie went deliberately to his
room, placed n table with pencil and
paper at his bedside, lay calmly down
upon the bed, opened vein in his arm,
and inserted the deadly poison. He
thought he had discovered how to neu.
tralizo ii; II so, man was master OF the
postilence forever more. But he was
wrong, and the error was fatal. Helived
seven hours, and then died; but during
those seven dying hours the young hero
with scientific exactnesS, the
effects and progress OF the disease upon
him, and one after another he noted his
down, until within the
very hali.hour when the spirit left the
body. These notes are pronounced TO
have the highest value, and will serve
the commission with new facts OF the
first Importance: and 80 the dying
legacy Of Otto Obermeir may, after ali,
lead to the victory which lie condemned
himself'to self.destruction in trying to

A party of surveyors belonging to the
United States geological survey expedi.
ton OF 1872, lad u novel experience on
the summit Of n peak near Cinnabnr
mountain. When they were within Ave
hundred icot Of the top, storm came
up and they were enveloped in clouds.
The ascent was very difficult, as the
fragments Of rock were sharp, and most
OF them loose, sliding from beneath the
feet Of the party as they clambered up

One of the company, however, sue.
ceeded in reaching the highest point

that his hair was standing on end, as
though lie were on an electrical stool,
and they could heara series OF swapping
sounds, MS il he were receiving tho
charges OF q number OF frictional cleo.

Another member who attempted the
ascent soon received shock which de.

ately called Electric Peak. It's altitude,
