advantages of the positions sought by
him, to counterbalance the disparity

We are not a competent critic upon
such matter of generalship and military
strategy, and will not pretend to dis
cuss the question of'this difference oi
opinion between two such great men.
We are, however, satisfied from the
persual of the narrative that General
Johnston had good reasons for all of
his retreats. Mr.. Davis being a civil
liam, and General Johnston a soldier
who had seen service in the Seminole
war and in Mexico, besides having been
a Briga2ier General in the old U. S.
Army. We are inclined to take his
views as being correct and to believe
that Mr.. Davis was over confident in
his opinions on military strategic
movement. The book is we'll worthy
the careful persual Of all and is an
invaluable Contribution to tn
future historian" for whom General
Johnston in his modest preface, says
he wrote.

~ Will the Gazette kindly in
form us Why it did not publish that
article about Judge Barlow, the
proof Of which it's Editor showed
to two responsible gentlemen in
town. Had the arrival Of the Hon.
Senator anything to do with its
suppression That was doing us
too bad. We had intended writing
an article on the subject, but when
we heard that the Gazette had one
ready and what it was. We conclu-
ded, as it pretended to be working
with us, that we would leave the
field to the wavering Gazette. It
would have come with better grace
from that source, and it was too
bad to fool US in that way.
We will watch out for Kelso the
next time wegive away to the Ga
zette. We suspect that that ride
Of Georges with the Madam to the
Lake or some where else, had some
thing to do with it.

brief and comprehensive form; an {
solicit questions achich zoe aciW an
sace, gratMitously, # upon lega
matters Of general interest:
CREDIT. CREDITOR.
1t merchat sells goods, to custo.
mar upon credit, the title is immediate
~ vested in the purchaser, and the
merchant has only his action for thu
purchase price. He has, however, the
Vendorslien upon the goods, as long
as they remain in the hands Of the first
purchaser. This lien of course, car
only be enforced upon the identical
goods sold by the merchant. The
term of credit is usually regulated by
special contract; in the absence OF
such contract the creditor can enforce
payment at any time. The creditor
can at his option extend the time of the
credit, but if there are any securities
upon the original contract, they are
released by an extension to the princi-
pal.
DONATION,
May be made, inter v;vos, while living
or morris cousG, in prospect of death.
In the case of personal property it may
be made by manual gift, but if real
estate is to be donated, it should be
done by notarial act. Both kinds of
donation deprive the donor of the
ownership at once aud vests it COM
pletely and fully in the donee. The
donor cannot deprive himself of all
his property, he must retain sufcien-
cy for his support. The law imposes
certain other restrictions upon dona-
tions, but an explanation of them,
does not properly belong here.
ERROR.
Error, under certain circumstances.
may vitiate contract. Any error that
shows that there was not the union OF
the minds of the contracting parties,
will be sufficient cause to annul tue
contract.
FRAUD.
All fraud vitiates the contract based
upon it. The law abhors fraud or
even the suspicion Of it. This abhor-
ence is expressed in the maxim "Let
10 polluted hand touch the temple of
justice" The prerequisite of 40 sue
ccssinl appearance in court is clean
ohaae1s. Co!lnsioois intimately connect
ed with fraud, and is dealt with by the
law in much tlSe Same manner that it
deals with its usual companion, fraud.
FURNISHES oF$sUppL1Es.
The furnishers of supplies has lien
and privilege upon the crop made
with his advances. The last Legisla-
ture, so-callcd, has besides given the
planter right to pledge his crop t6
secure the furnisher Of supplies. A
senseless and useless change, which
will benefit nobody. 1t is necessary
that the Furnisher of supplies should
record a statement Of his lion to
preserve it. This may be doue BY
settling what is to be the amount of
the advances, in the beginning of the
year and obtaining from the plan,
ter his signature before two witnesses
to some such document as this:

Natural Aversion 10 the Negro.

A correspondent of the Washington Daily
Chronicle sends the details of a shooting af-
fair which took place at Raleigh, North Car
DINA. The cause leading to it is forcible
reply to the people who claim that the ne
gro is forcing equality, and that the prejudice
of the whites arises from a natural and I'M
comfortable aversion to the coored race.
The following extract tells different story
cat late hour in the evening, John
Bragg, son of Ex-Governor Bragg, pad a
visit 10 the house of his cOlored ducnia, but
on knocking for admission received no re ply.
He then broke out light Of glass, lighted
match, and looking into the room saw John
Carson, another white man. in one corner of
the room. He Immediately drew his revolver
and shot Carson, the ball entering near the
thigh, and it will probably prove fatal, as
probing has failed to find the ball. Bragg
had a hearing before Mayor Holden, son OF
Ex-Governor Holden, and was released on
bail in the sum of $4,000. Carson says that
on hearing the knock at the door, the colored
girl said: ''There comes John Bragg, my
man, and there will be trouble now" He
went to the corner of the ROOM, hoping to
escape the notice of Bragg"

ziiicH.cSs .saEscful.

In no State i'll the South do the colored
people hold the highest Offices. Indeed the
majority Of ollice-holders in that section are
white men. This certainly does not appear
like negro supremacy. The rights of white
men are fully respected by the colored peo-
pie: There is no evidence that the negroes
are more cXacting in anything than any other
race. That there are rascals among colored
men as among white men is evidence of a
common humanity. To demand that the
colored people should be better than white
people is absurd. The example of rascality
has been constantly before the colored peo-
pie, and it has been placed there by those
who are loudest in complaining against the
negro. The South is rich in fertile soil and
fine climate. Untold wealth lies in the de-
velOpment Of the material interests of the
Southern States. Nothing short of madness
or blindness to their interests will lead
those States TO drive out so important an
aid to their development as the negro. Free
dom and education, with q true conception of
the dignity Of manhood, will render the negro
more valuable as a help to build up partly
ruined section of our country. Whatever
tends to destroythc one and retard the other
Is il drawback to the advancement of the
South.
The negroes desire peace. 1t is only dis
turbed by the droncs of Southern society, a
class who will not work and whose idle hands
find pleasure in murder This is the class
that is running the South to-day and not the
were honestly earning his daily bread, there
would be no more race conflicts there than
at the North. Honest toll is preventive
of crime. 1t should be tried in the South
