Barring Bros. VS.. DABNEY, Nor
GAN l. Cu.-Error 10 the Supreme
C0ut Of .S0uth CNr0iind.-This case
involved the distribution of the assets
of the Bank of the State OF South
Curolina, on its own account and as
the financial agent Of the St'te, DOW
in the hands of receiver, and par
ticularly the question of the title Of
the fire loan boudholders and the fire
loan stockholderS-bonds and stock
negotiated by the bank, under the au-
thority of the State, for the rebuilding
Of CharlcSton ate! the fire OF lSaS.-
The bonds were taken up in Europe
and the stock in the United States
The former had the guarantee of the
bank, and the latter did not. The de-
cisiou is. that the fire loan boadhold-
ers are on an equal footing with the
other creditors Of the bank. and that
the fire loan stockholders are not cred
itors of the bank at al, and not el.i-
tied to any participation in the fund.
The assets are directed to be dlstrib-
uted among the creditors of the bank;
in proportion to the amount of claims,
reducing those arising during the war
to their values in national currency
This is an affirmation Of the judg=
mont of the Supreme Court Of the
State. Mr.. Justice Bradley deliver
ed the opinion. Mr.. Strong dissented.

DEAR EDITOR.-N0 doubt many Of
your readers have heard of Chinque-
pin, pt which vicinity I will attempt
to write You few country items. The
farmers are now quite busy, some pre-
pariuy their lands, while others are
planting either corn or cotton. The
greater portion of. the corn crop is
planted. and allow me to say it is
large one, for-many seem to be plant
ing one.third more corn than last year.
Maj. J. p. X. seems to have world
of corn planted and it is coming up,
and promises to be = good stand. The
Majors head is level in 50 doing, US
well as many others, for they do not
believe i'll having cribs in Baltimore,
but to raise their own corn as they
once did, for he who has corn for sale
has money. The stand Of corn seems
to be remarkably good where it is up.
SC.mc of the farmers have commenced
to plant cotton seed. while others will
be ready soon, the laud first being
prepared, then they begin to plant.
Let ,ue tell you how Capt. H. II. +.
makes two horses d, the work of four
and three hands DO the work of' tvul,
We. Of course, speak only of planting
cotton seed The m>.ius pperdntli is
as follows: Tu upcn the TOMS he has
two plow stocks, "ne plow fastened to
each trace by the cltvis, and does not
use sinslrtrcc, )" the horse walks in
the furrow and not upon the bed ; a
hand holds e each plow, thereby using
one horse and two hands opening two
rows, the two hands'walk side by side;
and il I were young and single, and it
were fashionable, I would be fond Of
plowing, provided, l beautiful maid
would take one plow. TO cover the
cotton seed, All ordinary board is made
long enough to extend over two rows,
and the hurse and plower walk in the
middle, and it is not hard on the horse
or plower. | hopc many Of your
readers will do likewise, for they can
plant. with two horses, AS much in the
way above described. as they do in the
ordinary way with four horses. The
grain crop. looks remarkably well; the
wheat looks fine, and j. P. S. has some
wheat beginning to run up and it will
soon be in boots
On my way to town, | met DIR. j..
W. F. on his way to the Poor House,
as he is now Physician Of that place.
If the Chalybeate spring of Jalapa
does not relieve you, come out and try
my plow in my private farm and I will
guarantee you will have good appe-
tite for bacon and hominy.

More Strikes Threatened.

1t is one of the peculiar features Of
tia present crisis that, in spite Of the
,tightness of the money market, the
bosses and the workmeu seem to be
getting into greater autagonlsm than
ever. Strikes are threatened by the
carpenters, by the bricklayers and
plasterers. The bosses have, erl-
IDENTIFY, come to the conclusion that the
present is fitting time to break down
the eight hour arrangement. This
determination is especially strong on
the part ofthe boss carpenters; but it
is also the undisguised purpose Of the
bosses Of the bricklaycrs and plastcrers.
The mcn are equally determined to
hold on to what they think solid
victory: and it is their opinion that to
give up the eight hour arrangement
would be to abandon position won at-
ter Years of laborious effort. The
workiugmens appeal has already been
made public, and no one who has read
that appeal can come to any other
conclusion than this-that the men
rn=au to fight it out to the bitter end.
The strikers are not to be confined to
any one trade or business. The move
mcnt> threatens to be general. The
millworkcrs are already out in some
parts of Massachusetts, their motto
being More pay or no work The
prospect is uot pleasing. 1t is to be
hoped. however. that wise cOunse!s will
prevail, equally with the employers
and the employed Strikes are an in
jury and loss to the community.
.iHincy have never proved a gain either
to the masters or the workmen. An.
other mode of settling these trade diff
culties is surely possible.

The war on Whisky.

The Courier-JOurnal prints an ex-
haustive article on the attempt to shut
up the whisky-shops and drinking sa-
looms by the power of prayer and
psalm-singing. We quote the closing
paragraph, in which the points of the
case are summed up and disposed of;
6 In so far as this movement is an
expression of adherence against the
vice Of hard drinking it is commend
able. If it shall arouse and sustain a
deeper disgust Of intemperanee in the
public mind a great good will be ae-
complished. But in demanding tee
totalism it overleaps its mark, and is
therefore certain to fail. Moreover, il
has thus far developed none of the
characteristics of serious and we'll
considered plan of reform; it is sim
ply spasmodic outburst Of excited
feeling mainly of a religious nature,
and therefore will pass away as soon
as the inevitable reaction sets in. Aud
again it is accompanied by certain ex-
travagances of method, which, though
they may at first attract our attention
by their novelty, will, in little while,
shock and disgust all cool headed peo-
pie by their irreyerent incongruity.
And finally, as the movement cannot
possibly do any special good which may
no. be better done BY more appropri-
ate means, and as many Of its features
are intrinsically Objectionable, and are
likly to cast prejudice upon the cause
of temperance reform, we are forced
to the conclusion that the results of
the agitation will be more harmful
than saiutary, and that it therefore
ought to cease, or rather that it ought
not to take form by which religion Is
dragged in the dirt, common sense viO-
lated, and the cause of temperance
made ridiculous and unpopular"

An Eagle Tries to Carry on a Girl.

On Saturday, Sd inst, a girl named
Elizabeth Moore, daughter of Albert
Moore, living in the north -eastcorner of
Clebourn county, was returning home
from a neighbor's house whittier she
had been sent on an errand, when she
felt something heavy strike upon her
shoulder and the next instant she was
borne to the ground. She says that
her first impression was that she had
been seized by a panther or some other
wild beast, but soon felt the talons of
what proved to be an eagle. clutehing
her sides and arms, lacerating the
flesh in a fearful manner; and, with
its beak peeking her on the head she
was dragged some distance on the
ground. Pretty soon, the eagle having
secured his prize, with talOns and bill
firmly fixed, raised her from the
ground and sailed along at frem three
to four feet above the earth for some
distance. Occasionally she was drop
ped on the ground, but the eagle
would as often raise her again, making
new serious wounds with his claws In
her body and his beak in her head,
till at last he reached the height of
ten feet from the ground attempted to
light on the limb Of red oak tree on
the roadside, when his hold again
gave way and the girl fell to earth
seriously stunned and hurt. She was
unconscious for time, then clambered
over the fence near by into her fathers
orchard and began making the best of
her way to the house, near which she
was met her mother, who had been at
tracted by her screams and was hasten
ing to her relief. The most remarka-
BILE part of the matter is that the girl
did not see the eagle at ali. A shawl
which had been securely fastened over
her head and which projected over her
face, hid her rude antagonist from her
view. The track along which she was
dragged, however, was plainly visible
in the road. The girl, Elizabeth, is
fourteen years of age, and weighs be-
tween so and 90 pounds. Her father
is a very reliable and worthy man. He
is a son-in-law of Mr.. Hatfield, in the

A Sunbeam.

The greatest of physical paradoxes
is the sunbeam. 1t is the most potent
and versatile force we have, and yet it
behaves itself like the gentlest and
most accommodating. Nothing can
fall more softly, more silently upon the
earth than the rays Of our most great
luminary-nOt even the feathery fakes
Ofsnow which thread their way thrOagh
the atmosphere as il they were too
flmy to yield to the demands of gray-
ity like grosser things. The most del
icate slip of gold leaf, exposed as
target to the suns shafts, is not stirred
TO the extent of hair, though an in
fant's faintest breath would set it in
tremulous motion. The tenderest Of
human organs, the apple Of the eye,
though pierced and buffeted each day
BY thousands of sunbeams, suffers no
pain during the process, but rejoices in
their sweetness, blesses the useful light.
Yet a few of those rays insinuating
themselves into mass ofiron, ike the
britannia tubular bridge, will compel
the elosely-knit PARTICLES to separate,
and will move the whole enormous ia
brio with as much ease as a giant
would a straw. The play of those
beams upon our sheets Of water lifts
up layer after layer into the atmOs-
phere. and hoists whole rivers from
their beds, only to drop them again in
SHOWS upon the hills or in fattenlng
showers upon the plants. Let but the
air drink in little more sunshine at
one place than another, and it desc
latest whole region inits lunatic wrath.
The marvel is that power which Is
capable of assuming such a diversity
of forms, and of producing such stu
pandous results, should come to as in
50 gentle so peaceful and so unpre-
tentious manaer.-British Quarterly
Revie,o.
