THE CONGREGATIONAL CoUNCIL-ResuH Of
the COncIdce-The advisory council of the
Congregati Church closed its session, which
has been chiefly secret, at Brooklyn, Saturday,
when, the doors being opened, the moderator
read the report agreed upon. It opens by re
counting the circumstances under which the
council was called, and states that the com
planning church were fully authorized in call
ing the council. At the same time tie opinios,
is expressed that the complaining churches dill
not exhaust ell means of getting from Plymouth
church compliance with their request for mu-
tual council. They state, also, that the tone OF
some OF the letters Of the complaining churches
was not such as they approve OF with regard to
the manner in which advice is sought. They
express the opinion that under the usages of tn :
Church Plymouth church erred In dropping q
member from Its rolls because he had aban
doned the church for some time, especially
while charges were preferred against him
The letter Of remonstrance and advice with
which the correspondence commenced, the re.
port stated, was not uncalled for. The report
concluded by censuring Plymouth church TO-
its action, but at the same time it advised other
churches to maintain the same fellowship with
Plymouth church ss formerly, with conditions
that IL they erred again they should be blotted
out from fellowship with other Congregational
churches. IL is stated that the hnal vote giving
the reeult Of the deliberations OF the Oongrega
tional council was - follows: Eiehty-seveD
voted for the result as IL stands, eight votsd
against IL, and twenty three refused TO vote ~
All. In plymouth church. while its members
regard much Of the councils final vote - not
sound vet in general they consider IL an entire
yindicafion Of the liberty OF Plymouth church,
and are greatly rejoiced over 1t.

The FINANCIAL SHIFTS OF the RINa.
This "new way to pay old debts" by
which Mr.. Csrdozo and his associates
propose to redncs the bonded indebt.
ednass Of South Carolina from $l6.-
600, 600 to IS. COO. 600, is q fitting cu.-
mination to the long course OF rascally
operations pursued since 1868, which
the South Carolina officials call fnan-
neutrality-suspicious. which, when
stripped Of all disguises. are found to
consist in plundering the Taxpayers Of
the State with one hand and defraud-
ing the money lenders of New York
with the other. We are aware that
Mr.. Oardozo and his fellow. officials
profess to have turncl over new leaf,
and affirm that they are trying 20 run
the government with honesty aud
economy. We have secn no evidence
to confirm their assertions. The ta4us
collected last fall were ample to have
paid years interest on the cutiro
bonded deb. and all reasonable tx.
pense OF carrying on the State Govern
ment, but the Legislature nude way
with the whole amount, aud, as usual,
stripped the treasury of every availa-
BILE dollar. II We are told that the
State officers are trying to check the
tide OF extravaganza and corruption,
wo shall want something moro than
fair words before we put faith in them.
When We. hear of the arrest of Mr.
ex Treasurer Parker and Mr.. ex.Fi-
nanciai Agent Kimpton, who, accord
ing to the statements of these officers,
sold or hypothecated some Sc. 600, 900
of fraudulent bonds in New York, we
shall begin to think there is something
in these professions of virtue: but
while Parker paradrs his wealth in Co.
lumbia, and Kimpton is in friendly
with Treasurer Cardozo
in New York, Wa can see no reason for
changing our opinions.

Tax Sales.

We are glad to hear that the bid
ding was very slack at the sale of real
estate for taxes, yesterday. That is as
1t should be. No man should buy
property which is put up by such q
government as We have. aud for such
objects as the officials employ it to
subserve. Now is the time to begin a
wholesome resistance to these wrongs.
The State Government has nothing to
sustain it but the contributions of the
taxpayers. They should promptly
cut off the supplies, and bring things
to decisive issue. Besides, those who
may be inclined to purchase had bet.
ter think twice before they invest in
lands with doubtful titles. We are
Informed that good titles cannot be
made by tho State for property sold
for taxes. where so many abuses attend
the taxing power aud tho ussessments
for taxation.

The BANK OF THE STATE Bills

The BANK OF THE STATE Bills
PosTPoSEMENT OF THE TAX SA16s.-
The following is a copy of the order Of
Judge Graham, postpoEipg thu sale by
the County Treasurer of all property
Tor the payment of the taxes on which
bills ei the Bank OF the State have
been rendered:
The Union Bank rs. WIN. Gurney,
County Treasurer. In this caso, the re-
lator asked for and obtained rule on
Wm. Gurney. County Treasurer, to
show cause why the tender made for
taxes should not be received.
The rule was made returnable on u
certain day; but at that day, no return
was made to the rule. and the Attor-
ney General moved tue extension of
the time to the 1st of June. When tho
order was made to extend the time, no
advertisement had been made of q
sale OF the property of the relator, aud
the time to which the return to the
rule has been extended is beyond the
time at which the sale now advertised
will take place. cannot doubt that
when the counsel for the relator as
sented to the extension of the time for
return to the rule. although nothing
was said in relation to it, it could not
have been understood otherwise by
them than that such extension of time
should be without prejudice to them or
the parties represented.
l consider it involved in the consent
to that extension that the conditions of
the relator should not be changed or
Affected by the extension OF the time
given to the County Treasurer. 1
consider it, therefore, but just to all
parties that should now order that
the sale Of the property of the reIator,
which has beon advertised to be sold
by the County Treasurer, should be
postponed until the further order of
the court; and it is now SO ordered.
Tho same order will apply to all other
cases in which like tender has been
made by those whose property has
been advertised to be sold by the
County Treasurer. William Gurney,
for payment of taxes. Let COPY of
this order be served on William Cur.

A New POINT OF LAw.-The wanton
and brutal murder of the young girl.
Mary Lawler. in New York, some time
ago, by the ex ex.policeman, John Doyle,
because she had, after being once en-.
gagged, discarded him on account of
his intemperanoe, will be rememb bered.
The evidence is, that Doyle went to see
the girl at the place where she was
working, called her out. and then shot
her dead. Yet last Friday, instead of
trying Doyle for the offence Of murder
in the first degree, the District Attor-
ney permitted him to plead guilty of
murder in tho second degree. Judge
Brady, in sentencing the prisoner, al.
luded to the fact that Doyle was intoxi-
Gated when he killed Mary Lawler, as
an indication that he had no deliberate
intention to kill. II that is sound
principle, then, as the Herald we'll says,
Foster was unjustly hanged; and if
Doyle could plead guilty OF murder in
the second degree. then the grade to
murder in the first degree in New York
Is practically abolished.

To all, particularly invalids, spring
is a trying season. Indications of sick,
ness should at once be attended to.
Fatal diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constipated,
and the system to remain in. disor-
derod condition, until the disorder has
time to develop itself. An ounce of
prevention is worth pound OF cure, ia
IN old and truthful saying. Therefore,
We advise all who are tre ubled with the
complaints now very prevalent-head-
ache. indigestion, disordered liver,
want of appetite, nausea, or feverish
skin, to take. without delay, Sohenck's
Mandrake Pills. We know OF no
remedy 80 harmless aud decisive in it's
action. It at once strikes at the root
OF the disease and produces healthy
tone to the.syseem. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from
disordered condition of the liver, if
they would take this excellent medi-
cine when they feel the first indica.
tiocs Of the malady. Families leav-
ing home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes of
those pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache in one
or two hours. and will rapidly cleanse
the liver of surrounding bile, and will
efectually prevent bilious attack.
They are sold by all druggists.

The Hoses IrnbroglIo.

The ssenes r!ese.ted in our city,
yesterday, will longbe remembered by
our citizens. Early inithss day, tue
Sheriff Of Orangeburg repaired to tue
Governors residence with q warrant
for his arrest. on charges preferred by
the Grand Jury OF that County. TO,
breach Of trust with fraudulent inten-
tions. and for grind larceny. The Go.
vernon refused to accept the service oi
the writ, aud procured q guard ol
militia for his protection. consisting oi
three companies, and distributed
around his residence and at the execu-
tive offico. The appearance of these
troops, in the discharge OF such duty
as this. naturally excited lively
interest, and they marched and coun.
ter-marched through our streets in
shei. glittering uniforms. rs if they
enjoyed the pageant.
In the afternoon, it was ascertained
that the Governor had been advised
by his counsel to surrender him ,elf
and give bail for his appearance.
This. it is understood. he did. The
companies we're then dismissed The
matter now goes before the courts,
where, it is understood, the legal
services of Messrs. Chamberlain aud
Elliott will be rendered in tho Go.
vernor's behalf.
What have we come to? Fraudu.
lent pay certificates. County Trea-
surers' defalcatione, the losing of Acts
OF the Legislature. bankruptcy, and
now an indictment by the Grand Jury
on Infamous charges-aIl matters in
which the Governor of the State is
implicated These things show South
Carolina in most odious light. They
are the at aocompaniments of The pro-
cess which is now going on all over the
State of selling the peoples property
for taxes they cannot and should not
pay. Infamy and outrage cannot go
any further. Will the Government ut
Washington look at our condition? +?
Can it see it by the light of these m or
tifying and odious illustrations? Will
it persist in pretending to think that
nothing serious is the matter here?
1t is full time this infamy and oppres.
sion were put an end to, and our own
people must norve themselves to the
task OF doing it. and that speedily.

Law Of Landlord and Tsn.nt.Y


Law OF Landlord and Tenant 1
The CASE Of NE. Edwards rsrsus
Wm. Mooney. tried before Judge Car
peuter, few days ago, involved a
legal question Of great Importance to
landlords and tenants. Mooney ia the
owner OF house and lot in Columbia,
: which he rented to Edwards, upon
the express condition, in writing. that
he was to surrender the premises upon
failure to pay the monthly rent. Ed
wards did fail to make payment
when it became due. Upon this,
Mooney complained to Trial Justice.
who had ten days notice served
upon Edwards, to show cause why he
should not be eieoted. At the expira-
tion OF the ten days. no cause being
shown, the Trial Justice sent his con-
stables and had Edwards elected,
Mooney going with them to point ou.
the house. The case which arose, and
which has now had trial, was an action
for damages for unlawful ejectment.
Judge Carpenter decided that the Trial
Justice had no jurisdiction, and that
Mooney was liable in damages. The
jury found verdict of 5000 in favor
of Edwards.
Heretofore. Trial Justices have been
exercising Jurisdiction under the
twelfth section OF the hty-fourth
chapter OF the revised statutes, which
provides: "That when any person or
persons have gone, or ehall hereafter
go, into possession of any laud or
eenements OF another, either as a
tenant at will. or under a contract to
serve another, either as domestic
servant or common laborer, or other.
wise. and shall refuse or neglect to
quit the premises 80 occupied" &C.,
then Trial Justice shall have power
to eject him upon, giving ten days'
notice. The Trial Justices have held
that the words "or otherwise" re-.
ferred to the manner OF going into
possession, aud included all manner of
tenancies. Judge Carpenter held that
they referred to the kind OF service.
Inasmnoh as there is no other Act
which oonfers jurisdiction on Trial
JuEtices to eject tenants for non-pay-
ment of rent, landlords have no
remedy against that class Of tenants,
except by an action in the Circuit
Court fer possession of real property.
This being an action in which judg-
ment can only be obtained in open
court. even when no defence is made,
the delay involved would operate,
greatly to the injury of the landlord,
and in addition to this, he would have
70 pay the taxed Costs, unless they
could DO collected out of the property
OF the tenant. The law. as it now
stands on the statute book, is
virtual denial Of the rights of land
lords, but like all unjust and partial
laws, will, doubtless, operate to the in
jury of those in whose favor it WAS in
tended, since people will be very care
ful to whom they rent thrir houses,
when they know they can neither COL
leot the rent nor eject the tenant.

Mr.. Washington Mclean, the editor
OF the Cincinnati Enquirer. the paper
money Democratic organ Of the West,
refused to attend the Manhattan re-
union in New York. aud says that there
will be new Democratic party in the
West, with demand for an increasing
amount OF currency, as the chief plank
in its platform, and which will refuse
an affiliation with the bond-holders, as
he calls Messrs. Belmont, Schell and
other bullion men. 1--WE in the West"
says MIR. Mclean. ''are for more mo-
ney, more currency. We own lands,
not bonds. Increased currency in
creases the value Of our lands. 1t does
not help bonds; for $4,000 bond is
