limited States Supreme Court Decision

WASHINGTON, November 3.--The United
States Supreme Court to-day decided in the
case of the State of South Carolina er. rel.
Wagner us. StolI, county treasurer, from the
Supreme Court of the State, involving the
question of the validity of the issues OF the
Bank of the State during the war. The
charter of the bank, framedin 1862, provided
that its issues should be receivable for taxes,
bit the county treasurer now refused to re-
ceiye 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 Judgment was for the treasurer On
a former argument Of the case in this court,
that Judgment was affirmed, but upon re-
argument had at this term there is change
of opinion, and the judgment is now re-
yersed-the sarae Judge writing the opinion
the court holding that as the faith OF the
State was pledged for these bills, the holders
were entitled to rely upon that credit ana 10
its protection. -,
The credit of tue State could not be with
drawn without an open and clear declara-
ton to that effect, and such declaration
was not made until 1868, by the repeai, OF
the charter, which was too late to render
the bills as tender in the present case.
One other case was decided by the decl-
sion in this. Justice Hunt delivered the
opinion, Justice Bradley dissenting.

THE WHEAT PROSPECTS,. statistical in

TIE WHEAT PRosPECTs.-All statistical in
formation on the subject OF the wheat pro-
ducts Of the world point to the important
fact that the United States is the only coun-
try able to supply the unprecedented de-
mand for wheat this year in nearly all Euro
pean countries. The returns Of the imports
to Great Britain to September 80 show that
the gross value Of the imports of wheat for
nine months is about S99000,00O, Of which
the United States supplied $40, 900, 900 worth.
The proportion of wheat received from
Russia has fallen from $4,000, 600 to 100000
hundred weights as compared with 1872,
while that received from the United States
has increased 100000 to 100000 hun
dred weights. Wheat is usually exported
from the north Of France, but this year
it will have to be imported, and the i'm
portations Of the south of France will be
largely increased. Germany, Hungary; and
Southern Russia are also deficient in their
crops, and that European dealers have ac-
cepted the returns as thorough reliable may
be Judged from the fact that their exports
from New York alone during the fourteen
days ending October 9th were 3,50S, Ago
bushels, an amount unparalleled in the his
tory Of that port. On the other hand, the
receipts of wheat at Milwaukee and Chicago
have been largely increased, the receipts ut
the former place of the present crop being
S,555,770 bushels against 5,044 ,s05 bushels
for the same period in 1872. The Mllwal-
kie Journal Of Commerce, in discussing the
effects of the financial panic on the future OF
wheat, complains that the circulation of
money is restricted by law to a fixed amount,
although this year the country will have to
move twice az much wheat as last year, to
say nothing of the cotton.--Phfsd1eiph

A RAILROAD CUTTING Down EXPENSES
[Lynchburg Tirginian, 2d.]-The officers
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad, on account of the great financial
troubles prevailing throughout the country,
and The great falling oil in the receipts of the
company, concluded to reduce the wages of
employees 10 per cent. as to those receiving
less than 81 per day, and 20 per cent. as to
those whose daily wages exceeded that sum,
and an order to that effect was promulga'
ted to take effect on Saturday the 1st in
slant.
A dispatch received in this city on Satur'
day night states, as we are informed, that
the train hands refused to accede to the pro-
posed reduction, and that not train on the
road was moved on that day.

METHODIST EPlsoor AL CHURCH PROPERTY
Judge Keith, of the Circuit Court of Lou.
doun county, Yay now sitting at Leesburg,
has decided that the church property of the
Methodist church at Hamilton and Hilsboro',
Va, belongs to the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and not to the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, as claimed under the plan OF
separation of the General Conference in 1874,
and the action Of the Baltimore Conference
in relation thereto. An act of the Legisla.
ture soon after the war provided that the
question of property should be decided by a
vote of the congregation, and thus most oil
it fell into the hands Of the Methodist Epis-
eopal Church South.

HARD ZINES AND NO MONEY IN GEORGIA.
All the towns are as hard up as Columbus.
None of the big wholesale houses in Macon
are doing anything. A proprietor Of one of
the largest wholesale establishments in the
State told friend of ours it was hardly
worth while to open his doors, as the sales
did not pay the Galaries OF bis clerks. The
same condition exists in Griffin. Merchants
are taking cotton for the payment of debts.
In Atlanta the situation is as bad rs any
where else, If not worse. Everywhere you
meet blue and heightened faces. In Macon,
Macon and Brunswick Railroad money is
used. Going to Atlanta, you ind Forsyth
money; then Barnesyille money; then Crit
fin money; and further up, local certificates.
Greenbacks are never shown you except as
a curiosity. Along the railroads you see the
fields white with cotton, and not a leaf upon
the stalks. In some fields not hand II
picking. Should heavy, beating rain come,
large quantities Of cotton would be lost.--
