THE FouRTH OF JULY.

The birthday of our national
existence has become as tame as
The other three hundred and sixty
four days of the year, and the bon
fires and Examinations which Adams
thought would be kindled and re-
kindled at-its annual return, are no
longer seen. The bell of liberty is
silent and fourth of July eelebra-
tions are almost confined to our
brothers in black, whose freedom is
of later birth than ours, and who
know nothing of the infancy OF
American liberty. We feel that it
may not be unimportant to mention
few Of the steps that led to the
declaration of independence, for
these are becoming indistinct in the
minds of cur most enlightened
citizens.
On the seventh of June, 1775,
Richard Henry Lee, aeting under
the instructions of the Virginia
Convention, from which he was a
delegate to Congress, submitted a
resolution "that the United Colonies
are and oaght to be free and inde-
pendent States; that they are
absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown; and that all political
connection between them and the
State of Great Britain is, and
ought to be, totally dissolved" On
the following day Congress debated
the resolution in committee Of the
whole. And, says Mr.. Pitkin, 'No
question of greater Importance was
ever presented to the deiiberation
of a deliberative body, Or debated
with more energy, eloquence and
ability The resolution was dis
cussed again on the tenth, and
adopted. Congress was now pre-
pared to act promptly and decisive
ly, A committee was appointed to
draft a declaration of independence.
This committee consisted of
Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia,
John Adams, of Massachusetts,,
Benjamin Franklin, of Pennsyl-
yania. Roger Sherman, of Connecd-
cut, and r. r. Livingston, of New
York.
On the second day of July Mr..
Lees resolution, which had been
agreed to in committee of the
whole. was adopted by Congress.
The committee which had been
instructed to prepare the declara-
tion, had reported on the twenty
eighth of June, and on the fourth
day of July that paper was adopted,
and our nation was brought into
existence. No date marks the birth
of a more distinguished and pow
erful offspring; and few historical
truths are more familiar than that
Jefferson was the author Of the
declaration.

EAsLEY, July 2.-Mrs. W. T.
Field, wife of Senator Field, of
Pickens County. was thrown from
q buggy at this place this morning
by 3 runaway horse, causing the
fracture Of a knee joint and proba-
bly, dislocation. She was badly

The Commissioner of Agriculture
and the Nears &, Courier think that
by thoroughly advertising our re-
sources, we can bring an influx Of
immigrants into our State. We
take this suggestive paragraph from
an interview with the Commission
err:
"Are farmers willing to pay more
to white immigrant laborers than to
negroe laborers?'
':Well, the immigrant laborers
have generally commanded higher
wages than the negroes and they
cost their employers more in other
ways. They require better food
and better houses, and it is expect
ed that in return they will give bet
ter labor. When the employer ad-
vances the cost of transportation
and incurs the expense of properly
fitting up houses for them and pays
them the usual wages, SO to SIP a
month and rations, (Which. as said,
must be of better quality than that
given negro laborers) they cannot
expect to make any extra profit
from their work the first year, and
it is probable that the employer will
lose money, although this is not
always the case

Superintendent Lipscomb and
DR.. Pope reported to the Governor
last week that they had discovered
irregularities in the treatment of
convicts on the Greenwood. Spar
tanburg and Laurens r. r., in
Laurens County. A meeting Of
the directors was held on the 9th,
and committee consisting Of Maj.
D. F. Bradley and Major T. W.
Woodward was appointed to inspect
the convict camp and make report
to the Governor. The committee,
accompanied by DIR. Jas. Mcintosh,
made full and careful examina-
ton of the convicts, on the 28th,
and will in day or two submit a
full report. It is understood that
the report will show that the camp
is in a bad condition and that some
of the convicts are unfit for duty,
recommending that all the convicts
be ordered back to the Penitcntiary.
DR.. Mcintosh has submitted his
report to the Governor, in which he
recommends certain changes in the
diet of the conyicts, and an enlarge
ment of their quarters. 1t has not
been ascertained that there has been
any maltreatment or cruelty. Eight
of the convicts have been returned
to the penitentiary as unfit for duty.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court has decided
that the Homestead right, as deriv-
ed from the Constitution, is not a
new kind of estate. The purpose
was, not to create any new estate,
or to invest estates already exist
ing with any new qualities, or to
subject them to any restrictions;
but to secure a right Of exemption
by forbidding the use Of any mesue
or final process to sell certain prop
erty for the payment of debts. 1t
would not be competent for the
Legislature to change the charac-
ter of the estate which the citizen
has in his property, or to transfer
his property without his consent.
If, therefore, the Legislature had
declared in express terms that the
homestead should be held by the
head Of the family, in trust for his
wife and children, such legislation
would haye been clearly unconsti-
tutional and void, and the head Of
the family would continne to hold
the property by the same right as
before, and would have the power
to use and dispose of it in the same
way as he could any other property
which belongs to him absolutely,
either by sale or mortgage.
The decision is important, for
many persons hold the opinion that
after the homestead is set apart to
the head of the family. it must be
held in trust by him, for his wife
and children. He has the right,
under this decision. to use and
dispose of it as he pleases. 1t is
not a new estate, but merely so
much of his absolute property ex-
empt from levy and sale. Under
this decision. in what light must we
regard the homestead set apart to
the widow, as the head of the fami-
", ont of the husbands estate. If
the homestead is not a new kind of
estate, is she entitled to home
stead out of the husbands, proper
ty?

REMARKS OF JUDGE WALLACE.
/ have known Gen. Conner, gen.
tlemen, for many years. With the
interest and pleasure Of personal
friendship I have observed his ca
reer from it's beginning to its close.
1t was filled with high aims. distin-
guished achievement and duty done.
There is nothing about it to regret
except its premature ending. He
took hold Of the duties and respon-
sibilities Of life with q firm grasp.
The fruit of his early intelligent
industry made his name familiar in
every law Office in South Carolina.
That work was only the earnest Of
his subsequent attainments and
achievements in the law and at the
Bar which placed him in the front
ranks of his profession. AS 4
lawyer he was diligent and faithful.
He was liberal, candid and fair.
He was able and learned. The
death Of such q man is always 4
great loss to the profession.
Gen. Conner, like other great
lawyers whose names are embalmed
in the history of the Struggle for
just government, was not a lawyer
only; he was q self-sacrifcing
patriot. l need not refer here and
now to instances in Illustration of
his unselfsh patriotism. How un-
reservedly he devoted his time and

The Tables Turned.

Hon. John 7. Swasey. of Canton. is well
known as one of the ablest lawyers in
Oxford county. As an advocate his fluent
speech, aided by remarkably quick per-
ception. makes him formidable oppo-
nent. Among the many anecdotes related
of him is one which shows how his ready
wit and powers of speech resulted in the
discontinue of our friend Hon. Thomas
b. Haskell Of this city. in a case tried at
Paris. in which the latter was counsel on
one side and Mr.. Swasey on the other.
Mr.. Haskell made a fine and fiowery
closing argument. In the course of his
speech. in speaking of the uncertainty of
the memory. Mr.. Haskell. by way of
illustration drew. in eloquent language, a
graphic picture of the sea. alluding es-
pecially to the glamour that the mists and
fogs of oceans are wont to throw around
objects, obscuring to unrecognizability.
shapes that the bright sunlight was need
ed to bring into clear and distinct vision.
Much more to the same point the eloquent
Thomas dilated upon, and when he sat
down it was evident to the casual observer
that the jury was sensibly affected.
But Mr.. Swasey was equal to the
emergency, He knew something must
be said to counterfeit the effect of Has
kell's beautiful illustration. He got up
and in a quiet. familiar way addressed
the jury. He paid high tribute to his
brother law, er's eloquence. but declared
il was altogether out of place This
charming picture of the sea- said Mr..
Swasey, may be altogether proper and
fitting in the Portland home OF nv broth.

of wealth and leisure. like my brother,
can walk along the shell-lined beaches of
the ocean, and admire the scenes Of ma.
