SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Among the decisions recently rendered by
the State Supreme Court, is one in the case OF
J. Newman McElwee VS.. A. E. Hutchison
from York, in which the judgment of the Cir
cult Court is affirmed. This was complaint
for money demand, in which the plaintiff
brought action to recover a balance on a sealed
note dated the 4th Of March, 1861, and made
payable to plaintiff by John /. Miller, princi-
pal, and L. H. Massey and defendant, A. E..
Hutchison, as sureties. In answer to the
complaint, Mr. Hutchison set up the principal
plea that the debt was paid by a compromise
of SO cents on the dollar, made between him
self and T. ]. Bell, plaintiff g attorney, in
1869. The case was heard before Judge AL
drich and a, jury on the 18th of September
last, the jury finding verdict for the defend
ant. Motion for new trial being refused by
the presiding Judge, appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, which affirms the verdict.
Messrs. Witherspoon & Spencer appeared for
the plaintiff; and Messrs Hart & Hart, and
J. C. Witherspoon for the defendant.

lands not thus redeemed will be sold. In
consequence of this action, the bills have gone

cents, it is not probable that any more will

improve, and with no untoward change in
his condition, it is confidently hoped he
will be well enough to visit Charleston on
the 22nd of February, he having accepted
an invitation of the Washington Light In
fantry to attend their celebration of the an
niversary of Washington's birth day.
On Friday last, the Governor was able, for
the first time, to move about his room with
out assistance, and, with the aid of his crutch-
es alone, reached his buggy, standing at some
little distance from the door. He drove
about six miles into the country, making two
calls on his route, and returned home refresh
ed and in no wise fatigued by his ride. He
was also visited on the same day by his old
compsnion-in-arms, Gen. Kirby Smith.
The Governor contemplates visit to Flor
ida so soon as he is able to travel, and for the
purpose of making the trip as comfortable to
him as possible, Colonel Palmer has rendered
him an elegant car, which will be fitted up
specially for the occasion. One section will be
furnished as bedroom, another as recep-
tion and sitting-room, and no change will be
necessary to be made between Columbia and
Jacksonville. At this point the car will b.
left to await his farther movements, and the
Governor, Col. Palmer and party will take
passage on steamer up the St. Johns to
Indian river, where it is proposed to spend
few days fishing and shooting. Returning to
Jacksonville, the Governor will resume pos
session of the car and return in it to Colum-
bia via Charleston.
1t is stated that the Governor will proba-
bly, resume his duties as such for a few days
only before finally vacating the office to his
worthy successor, Governor Simpson, in Or
der to dispose Of some special matters which
were interrupted by his untimely accident.
Weneed scarcely call the attention of the
reader to the report of the lengthy interview
between Governor Hampton and representa-
tive of the Columbia Register, which we trans
fer to our columns in this issue. Anything
emanating from Governor Hampton will be
read by the people with avidity. AS will be
seen, in this interview, the Governor takes a
square, manly and unequivocal position on
all questions discussed, and to his remarks
thereon we invite attentive perusal. The
Governors language as statesman and an
honest man contrasts strongly with the soph-
istry and speciousness too often employed by
the mere politician.

The Crops of the Country.
- The agricultural report for December,
just compiled at the department in Washing
ton, shows that the corn season closed with a
marked improvement in the condition of the
crop. The aggregate of the crops for 1878
was larger than that of 1877 by some thirty
million bushels. In oats the crop exceeds that
of last year, constituting it the largest crop
ever raised in the country. The Southern
coast from North Carolina to Texas uniform
ly increased its product, but the Southern
inland States, as whole, fell off. The hay
crop is twenty per cent. greater than last
year. The sorghum crop is receiving increas-
ed attention. On the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts there is considerable increase. The
tobacco crop has been secured under excep-
tiopally auspicious conditions of weather, the
bright open days ofSeptember fsvoring the
growth, while the unusual delay of severe
frost enabled the plant to mature thoroughly
before the knife was applied. Of the large pro-
ducing states, Virginia, Maryland, Conneotl-
cut and Massachusetts, reported improved
quality.

Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad
Company. Mr.. H. Elliott was called to the
chair, and Mr.. D. R. Flenniken was appoint

its compliance with the terms of its charter.

vicinity of Mllway, Abbevlle county, was
recently held to protest against the prices de-
manded for guanos. Resolutions were adopt

the farmers not to buy any fertilizers unless
the manufacturers :Tcu,d satisfactorily reduce

not to use any guano until the price is low

- The case of the comptroller-general of
South Carolina, against the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company, brought to the
United States Supreme Court by appeal,
was argued on Friday last. The question iu-
volved is the liability of the Atlanta and
Richmond Air Line Railway Company to
taxation in South Carolina under the general
act Of 1868, without regard to the exemption
from taxation granted by its charter. The
appellee, who is stockholder of the Air Line
Company, denies the liability, and is sustain.

OLD AsBURY DICKENS EARNINGs.-Day
before yesterday Mr.. Francis A. Dickens
died very suddenly in Goochland county,
Va, in the seventy-fifth year of his age
Mr. Dickens was son Mr.. Asbury Dick
ems, who, for a number of years, was Secre-
tary Of the United States Senate. Mr.. As
bury Dickens, when he held the position of
secretary of the Senate, was in comfortable
circumstances, and during his entire term of
office never drew a cent of his salary. His
idea was that the money should be kept in
the hands of the United States Government
for the benefit of his children. He thought
in such custody it would be safer than in
bank, and that his children could draw the
money when they needed it, and so he died
trusting the Government. His son, Mr..
Francis Dickens, was, up to the breaking out
of the war, clerk of the United States Sen
ate, but he, like his father, did not deem it
necessary to draw the $4,000 from the
United States Treasury. When the war
broke out he gave up his place as clerk of
the Senate, and went to Virginia. After the
war he attempted to get the Government to
pay him the $4,000 his father had deposited
with it, but payment of it was refused on
the ground that he was rebel and had
taken sides against the Government

She was betting "gal' who during the
racing of the nineteen class of horses at the
National Fair, undauntedly staked pile of
money on her horse against the judgment
of hundreds of men and against the success
of other horses in the race over hers in the first
two heats During the races, says the Balti-
more american, a fine-looking woman, cccu-
plying seat in the front row of the grand
stand, attracted great attention by her un-
usual interest in the horses. She is from
Cincinnati, and is reported to be the owner of
"Charlie Ford" She backed her horse reck-
lessly in the pools, pulling money from her
pockets in great rolls and wads, and sending
it by some of her numerous followers down
to the pool-box. When "Charlie Ford" won
the race her enthusiasm knew no limits.
The habitues of the grand stand, having no
other name for her, dubbed her the Queen
of the Quarter stretch.

COMMERCE OF THE WoRLD-Some inter
esting figures have been compiled respecting
the commence of the world. During the
year of 1876, Europe and America, with q
population Of 372840,000, had commerce
valued at 81, 172, 1923 800 000, whilst the trade
with the rest of the world, with population
of S50O00,000 amounted to only 1882, 431, :
100000. 1t appears from the table prepared
by Professor Neuman Spallart of Vienna,
that in the years 1967-6S, the total value OF
the products exchanged among the various
nations of the two hemispheres aggregated
the enormous sum of $1,000, 1856, 480, 000-
The next five years witnessed an increase of
81 per cent, the total amount being 81, 397,-
800, 100000. In 1876 there was again gen
eral decline on the total, but the reduction of
prices on the articles of commerce was in a
GREATER proportion than this decrease, conse-
quently it may be assured that the quantity
of the products exchanged did not diminish.
1t seems to be probable that, expressed
even in money, the amount was greater last
year than ever before. The greatest CONNER
cial nations are of course shown to be those
of America and Europe; but their immense
superiority has not been hitherto understood.

A "REMINISCENCES OF MIR. LINcoLN-His
reply to Vnginia.-Mr. II. Chrisman, of
Abingdon, ILL.,. contributes the following to
the Chicago Tribune:
president Lincoln became fully aware
that we were engaged in a war with the dis
satisfied States by the slow process of his
reasoning powers, before he left Springfield,
and before the convention had even met to
consider the position that State would take,
and it came around in this wise: Mr.. Lin
coins chief point of anxiety, between the
election and Inauguration, was to have the
border States stay, and he kept up negotia-
tons with the Union men of Virginia to Sc
cure that end until the result of that cleo
ton was known. Along with the news of
their triumphant success came letter from
Col. John B. Baldwin, since dead, stating
that the danger was immense, and refusing
to be responsible for the result in convention
at all without an implicit declaration from
Mr.. Lincoln of a policy on which he could
safely intrench, giving him carte blanche,
without so much as a hint of what it should
be, but so ably and succinctly setting forth
the situation he should have to meet as to
make us at once and fully sensible crises
had come. Mr.. Lincoln took the letter in
the evening, for a night to reflect and pro-
mlSeu 10 return IL WIFI MS answer next
morning, at o'clock. Precisely, almost to
the moment, he came with the letter to my
room, and his answer made up, and it was
this: "Tell them l will execute the fugitive
slave law better than it ever has been. |
can do that Tell them l will protect sla-
very in the States where it EXISTS | can
do that. Tell them they shall have all the
offices south of Mason and Dixon's line if
they will take them. l will send nobody
down there as long as they will execute the
offices themselves This much he intended
for them But said he, with mournful
sadness it was impossible to hear without
deep sympathy at once, all this will do no
good. They are in a position where they
must have the right to carry slavery into the
territory of the United States. have lived
my whole life and fought this thing through
on the idea that slavery is sin, and ought
not to be extended, l can't go back on my
SELF Without salutation or other word he
unfolded himself, and stalked out with a
look of utterable grief"

AN AWFUL DEATH-Mr. Richard King,
while returning from Littleton, Va, to his
farm in that neighborhood on the Goth ult.,
met with most awful DEATH He was driv-
ing wagon along the country road running
parallel with the railroad, when his mule
team took fright at an approaching
hand-car and dashed off at a furious rate.
Mr. King was sitting on box, which fell
from under him, and he fell between the
arms just in front of the axle, catching his
left leg in the wheel. 1t was literally ground
into fragments He, thus entangled, was
dragged several hundred yards, while u
broken iron bar about eight inches long was
thrust into his body The wagon was hurled
against tree, which broke three of his ribs
and bruised him nearly all over his body.
In this terrible condition he lay nearly four
hours before death relieved him of his agony.
Medical assistance was soon at hand, but
nothing could be done He was perfectly
conscious to the last. He leaves wife and
several children, who were at his side
through the long agony.
