Tie Supreme Court Of the United
States has just decided case from Ten
ncssec which will be of interest to the
whole country, anl particularly to the
Southern States, in which there were
State banks whose bills were receivable
foT taxes. The decision is set forth in
the following condensation from the
Mronical and (onsGfutionahA: "The
Bank Of Tennessee, organized more
than twenty years before the civil war,
issued notes which the State agreed, BY
a clause in the banks charter, to receive
Tor taxes. The notes issued during the
supremency Of the Confederacy, howev-
ever, were declared void by the Consti.
tuition adopted at the reconstruction Of
the State, and the collector OF taxes,
who refused TO receive them, WAS made
defendant in this suit, paintive claim
ing that this constitutional amendment
was il elf void. The Supreme Court
finds nothing in the record to show that
these notes were issued in aid Of the re-
bcllion. and nothing from which pre-
sumption TO this effect can DC properly
drawn and decides F;rs: That the
constitutional amendment declaring
these notes void is Of no effect because it
impairs obligations of contracts. Sec
ond-That the State of Tennessee has
always, since its first admission into the
Union, been the State Of Tennessee. It's
secession did not, according to the major
ity, interfere with its perpetual success
ion and perpetual identity. Not only is
it the same body polite now, but has al
ways been the same. 1t has not only
been all this time State and the same
State, but it has always been one of the
United Statcs-a State Of the Union.
Referring especially to the share of the
State i'll the rebellion, the majority say
1t never escaped the obligations of that
Constitution, though for while it
may have ended their enforcement"
From this decision Chief Justice Waite.
together with Associate Justices Bradley
and Harlan, dissent, and cmphaticallv
protest that banks of rebelious district.
were used in MD and support ofthe re-
bellion, and deny that the acts of a re-
bcllious State are binding on n recon
structed State. This position of the mi
nority, if carried to its Legitimate length,
would expunge all contracts or obliga-
tions Of the State incurred before or du-
ring the war, which would be rather n
wholesale population, but fortunately
for the holders Of this class of claims
against Southern States, the majority of
the Court think differently. Judge
Bradley says this decision will ultimate
ly lead to the recognition of tho war
debts Of the rebel States" The principle
of the decision will also apply to the
Bills Of the Bank of this State which
were issued during the var, and will in
crease the States liabilities to the extent
OF the war issue of these bills. They are
in the hands of the people all over the
State, and will no doubt be bought Up at
nominal rates by spectators as the Bills
Of the Bank Of the State issued before
the war have been.

Congress rc-,sscmbles on the 7th inst,
and the session will probably be an i'm
portant one as several bills Of great pub.
lie interest are now pending, especially
the bill regulating presidential elections,
which was discussed last session, and has
been very generally commented upon by
the press throughout the land. That
there ought to be 4 change Of the elccto-
raj system has beer fully shown by the
troubles which followed the lat election,
and Congress ought to remedy the evils
Of the present system, go as to prevent a
repetition of such crimes in the future,
but we fear that in the present state OF
party feeling nothing can be done with
this bill. The session ends on the 4th of
MarCr, and will therefore be what is
termed the short session. In all proba-
bility, however, the Senate will be con-
vencd in extra session to consider execu-
tive business. and, if 90, the Democrats
will have the majority, and the President
pro TEN. Of that body will after that date
be Democrat. Hence, should there be
2 failure to elect the next President by a
vote Of the people and tie in the vote
i'll the House of Representatives, as
would probably be the case, whoever is
elected President pro tenn. of the next
Senate would become Pre,idcnt Of the
United States.

Mr.. Hayes is said to be the latest con-
vert TO Grantism for third term. It is
announced that he would regard the
nomination of Grant rs an endorsement
of his administration, which he claims
has founded its policy upon Grants ex-
perience. Grant, he thinks, would carry
out his Southern and financial policy,
while such n man as Blaine would be
likely to reverse It, These are his osten-
sibIc reasons, but We imagine that he
has rather tender feeling for Grant, on
account of the way he used United
States troops in Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina to secure tho votes of
these States for his fraudulency during
the last presidential election. In sup
porting the exPresidcnt now Mr.. Hayes
is only returning the favors shown him
in 1876.

Senator Conkling's friends announce
positively that he will not be candidate
for the Presidential nomination from the
Republican Convention. This is a sur.
prise to the whole country, and is accom-
panied by the explanation that the SEN
ator prefers to be the leader of his party
in Congress rather than risk his influence
in seeking The Presidency. This shows
much wisdom on the part of Mr.. Conk
ling, for he gracefully retires in this
manner from the contest which would
have two very doubtful nrnhlen,s 10 he
solved, First, he could hardly get the
nomination from his party; and, second,
if nominated he could hardly be elected,
as the country has about decided to take
n Democrat next time.

The news that Governor Hampton has
SO far recovered as to be considered out
of DANCE gladdens every true Caroli-
MANS heart. He is able to sit up in his
chair, ond has been out upon his piazza
enjoying the sunshine. Our people
should feel profoundly thankful to the
Great Ruler of the Universe for sparing
the life of such noble and useful cub
lie servant. The indications are that he
will be able to attend the extra session
OF the Senate in March should one be
called. South Carolina will then have
two able and influential representative.
in the Senate. both of whom have made
themselves illustrious and beloved botl
in war and in peace. 1t will also be re
markable that both OF our Senators h.y,
lost ore leg. This is the only Stat,
which has Ind such coincidence sine,
the formation of the government.

The Republicans have about decided,
it is thought, to run Grant as their next
candidate for the presidency, and in
order to prepare public sentiment in his
favor he will return to America in the
spring or early summer. When he lands
in San Francisco he will be most gor-
geously received, as his friends intend to
expend about million dollars to secure
proper demonstration in his behalf.
Then in New York n reception to cost
some two million dollars will be given
him, and another to cost million more
in Philadelphia with numerous magnifi-
cent, though less expensive, ones in
other cities. Grant will represent the
Northern capitalists, and they propose
spending their money freely in produc-
ing an enthusiasm for him, feeling that
if elected he will amply reimburse them.
If, however, the Democrats nominate
such man rs Senator Bayard ali the
money Grant could command would not
produce as mnch enthusiasm rs tho sim
pie magnetism which ticket headed by
an honest man would possess.

Senator David Davis, of Illinois, has
introduced bill recognizing the federal
Judiciary system, by which nine addi-
tional Circuit Judges would nave to be
appointed. The present system is very
oppressive to many of the poor people
who are so unfortunate rs to be involved
in litigation in this Court, either upon
the civi! o. tho criminal side of the
Court, anu it should be thoroughly re-
nodded +; but Congress seems unwilling
to take step Which would devolvc upon
Mr.. Hayes the appointment of nine ad-
ditional Judges. This consideration is
wise one on the part of Congress, for the
people of the Union feel that there ere
plenty of the actors in the Presidential
fraud who are now in Office without
creating new judgeships for Mr.. Hayes
to reward Others Of his chums.

Gen. Eppa Hunton, one of Virginia's
representatives in Congress, is cndeavor-
ing to induce that body to repay to his
State the money she advanced to the
General Government in the war Of 1912
with Great Britain. Maine, AIassachu-
setts and Maryland have been paid over
S1,OOO,O0O on account of their loans to
the General Government, while Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, and other States,
have never been reimbursed. It is to be
hoped that our representatives in Con-
gress will assist Gen. Hunton, and try to
have South Carolina's claim paid also.
1t Is true ihat the claim Of these Stntes
is "a Southern war claim," but then it is
war claim which even the vindictive
Mr.. Blaine could hardly class as unpa-
triotic. Maine has been paid, and of
course tho State from which the Senator
halls would not have received payment
unless it was just, and therefore we pre-
sumo that he will find neither nullilica-
ton, treason nor rebellion in our part Of
it. The money would come to South
Carolina now rs timely boon, and could
be placed to very great advantage in
assisting to solve the difficult financial
problem which confronts our people.

The resumption of specie payments
began on yesterday, the 1st of January,

continued without injury to the COM
mercc or citizens Of the country. Green
backs are on q par with gold, and unless
there is combination of the bankers in
tho large cities to produce corner in
gold as a speculation, there will probably
be no shock to the country in the change

In making her Christmas donations
Mrs. A. 4. Stewart included in her list
three Hebrew benevolent societies Of
New York, and Judge Hilton notified
the officials that they could procure the
money given by applying to him. They,
however, refused to accept the donations
because Of the afIront offered persons Of
their nationality by Judge Hilton, as the
agent Of Mrs. Stewart. in refusing them
admission TO the Stewart hotel in Sara
toga. This action is very consistent
and proper one, especially as leading
Israelties contributed the sums offered, so
that the charitable institutions will not
suffer by the refusal.

The canvass for Governor OF Ohio,
which is to come off this year, is already
beginning to elicit considerable interest
in political circles. 1t is of very great
importance to each political party that it
should be successful in carrying this elec-
ton, with avicw to securing the advantage
success would give to it in the prcsiden-
tial canvass, and for this purpose each
party Is already casting about for its
strongest man. The Republicans speak
freely ef running Hon. John Sherman,
Secretary Of the Treasury, and it is
thought he would be willing 10 accept
the nomination. He would have the
support Of the monied influences, and
would be Il decidedly strong candidate.
On the Democratic side Mr.. Thurman
has been the favoritc candidate with the
politicians, but he refuses positively to
run, rs he says, that the interests of the
party do not require him to make that
race, and that certainly his own we'll be-
ing requires that he should not undergo
the trial and strain Of mind and BODY
that canvass for that office would ne
cessitate." 1t is known that Mr.. Thur
man is one of the strongest men that will
be placed before the Democratic Con-
vention for the presidential nomination,
and he fears TO make the gubernatoria|
race, for If he should fail he would not
only lose his senatorial position, but
would destroy his prospect for the presi-
dency. These considerations are, nc
doubt, the weighty ones with him in
reaching his decision on this subject and
his positive declination will assuredly
bring some score of aspiring Democrat.
to the front who will be willing to serve
their party rs leader in this importan,
struggle. If Ohio should be carried fol
tho Democrats, it would improve Mr.
Thurmans prospects for tho presidency
while if it is carried for the Republicans
it will almost assuredly secure the nomi
nation of an Eastern man as the Demo
cratic presidential candidate.

The Florida Board of State Canvassers
completed the official count of the Con.
gressionnl election in that State, and in
the District where it was thought the
Republicans had elected their Congress
man, the result has given the election 10
Hull (Democrat) by l3 majority. The
returns from Breyurd County, which
went Democratic, were thrown out on
the ground that the returns were fraudu-
lent and the County Returning Board
have been arrested and lodged in iail
upon this charge in default of bail. The
returns from Madison County, which
went Republican, were thrown out be-
cause one precinct was not reported.
The result of this decision will give the
electoral vote of Florida to the Demo-
erats, If .hs next Presidential election
should be thrown into the House Of Rep.
resentatives.

Tho Augusta Chronicle and Constifu-
fionalist has been the able and persistent
advocate Of deepening the Savannah
River so rs to render it navigablr for
small steamers, and informs us that OH
the fifth Of November last Mr.. James L.
Carson, under the direction Of Gen. Gil
more, chief of the United States Engi-
neer Corps, began survey of the river,
which extended up the Tugalo prong of
the stream to the junction Of the Tallulah
and Chatooga rivers. He reports about
thirty miles from Augusta the Long
Shoals, five miles; about sixty five miles
from Augusta Trotter's Shoals, seven
miles long, with fall of seventy five
feet; then comes twenty-fvcs miles of
good stream, II to Is feet deep, to Little
River, after which the stream to Ander-
sonvillc is very bad, having the Cherokee
Shoals, fall of sixteen feet per mile :;
also, the Mcdaniel, Gregg and Middleton
Shoals Above Andersonylle are Hat
ton and Guest Shoals. He thinks the
river to Andersonvlle can be rendered
navigablc for much less sum than has
been previously thought, and favors
opening up the river by ren,oyimg the
obstructions, without canals or dams.
Above Andersonville, for distance of
thirLy-five miles, to n point near PAN
theirs Creek, small steamer drawing
two feet of water can easily be navigated.
An estimate of the cost will be furnish
ed, and Congress will be urged to appro-
pirate sufficient sum to open the river.
If done, it will develop fertile region
of country, which, though in large
measure neglected now, is susceptible of
the highest development. With steam.
boats plying the waters of the Savannah
its shores would become the site of pros
porous settlements, and lucrative en-
ployment in all kinds of labor.
