POINTS OF LAW.

Fair Opinions Received by the Supreme
Court Yesterday.
Four opinions were received yester-
day from the supreme court for filing in
this citv. They are as follows:
Isaac Irwin vs. S. A. Mcdowell. This
action was taken on appeal from judg-
ment in favor OF plaintiff for nominal
sum, upon which the judgment was re-
versed and new trial granted. The
court holds that the trial court erred in
holding that the chattel mortgage was
released prior to the levy of the attach
ment, and for that reason the Judgment
and order are again reversed and new
trial granted.

JUDGE SHAW SAYS "YES." "
DISPOSITIONS IN THE BRADBURY.
MILLET CASE MAY BE READ.
Bradbury Declared That His Sister
Was His Business Manager.
Many Letters Read
Yesterday.

The greater part of yesterday after
noon was spent in Judge Shaw's court
in reading letters in the Bradbury
Millet case.
The documents went to show the busi-
ness relations between the deceased and
Mrs. Millet. and clearly established the
fact that the deceased millionaire relied
upon his sister, the plaintiff, for the
entire management of his business and
family affairs.
The first verbal testimony taken was
that of John Shay, an Oakland builder
and contractor.
Shay testified that he became ac-
quainted with Lewis Bradbury and Mrs.
Millet in 1882. They we're then residing
in Oakland. Lawis Bradbury sent for
him and commissioned him to build q
cottage for rhim.---Bfadbury told him to
20 to Mrs. Millet for his orders. He
said that Mrs Millet was his
business manager and that any
directions from her wero to be considered
final. Mrs. Millet paid the witness for
building the. house, and gave him the
plans and directions Witness only saw
Mrs. Bradbury upon one occasion. She
gave no directions, and witness was un-
able to state whether or not she was
then able to speak English.
The moet important part OF the days
proceedings was the intimation by
Judge Shaw that he would probably al
low the entire mass OF dispositions to be
given to the jury ss evidence.
The judges action is stated to be
caused bs the fact that the defense in
tended to prove verbal contract be.
tween the deceased L. Bradbury and
the plaintiff, Mrs. Milllel. The giving
ofthe dispositions in evidence is the only
means by which this result can be OBJ
tanned. Under the judges former rul.
ing Mrs. Millet's claims were restricted
in go far as evidence, to two years prior
to the deceased's death.

$ MUSIC HATH CHARMS"
GETS ARTHUR LEWIS INTO
SERIOUS TROUBLE.
lewis Claims That His Employer Owed
Him Money-Judgc Smith Asked
to Acquit by the Defense.
The story.

Arthur Lewis was ON trial yesterday
in department one, before Ju dge Smith
and a jury, upon charge of obtaining
money under false pretences.
Lewis is the youth who applied at
Fisher & Boyds' piano store on Spring
street, and embezzled the proceeds of a
piano eale.
Fisher stated yesterday that Lewis
was employed as salesman and allowed
a percentage upon each instrument
sold. He sold a 5000 piano to Mr..
Brechtel, and left town with the pro-
ceeds. Witness found but rext day
that he had represented the piano as
his own property.
The defense endea yored to prove that
the piano had been given to Lewis in
lieu OF commissions which were owing
to him. On these grounds they asked
the court to instruct the jury to acquit.
Judge Smith took the matter under
advisement until today.

1t had been estimated that at cost OF
about $4,000, partitions could be put in
for IL rooms. The building was well
built, and ite plu bing is excellent.
The auditorium and the stage could be
left intact for exhibitions, and the board
would still have room equal TO two IL
room school houses. Mr.. Hazard said
he presented the point in the hope that
the board would appoint committee to
look into the matter.
Mr.. Stein moved that n com mittee OF
three be appointed TO investigate and
report at some future meeting. Car
red.
Messrs. Stein. Patty and Ashman
we're appointed as the committee.
Mr.. Stein moved that the city en-
gineer be requested to survey the Seven
teonth street school lot and the Spring
street school lot, as it had been reported
that the lines were not right.
DR.. Wills stated that the lines we're all
right; that they had been put on line
by the courts and the city engineer, as
lar ss the Spring street lot is concerned.
The motion was adopted by the
board.
The teachers committee was re-
quested to report at the next meeting
on the application OF Prof. Hnveman,
teacher of German in the High school,
to drop one class or be paid more per
month.
A SLIGHT DISAGREEMENT.
Mr.. Trask moved that in view OF the
lack OF funds the building committee be
directed not to undertake any more re-
pairs unless directly authorized by the
iull board.
Mr.. Stein, chairman Of the committee,
said sarcas.ically that it was good
time for the gentleman to make such q
motion after they had secured repairs in
their wards. He said he was not at all
weakened about incurring necessary
expenses even il the board had to leave
a deficiency OF $50,0 900 or 100000 for the
next board.
Mr.. Ashman moved as an amendment
that no committee spend over 500 in the
aggregate without getting the authority
of the board.
The board got tangled up on amend.
ments, but when the smoke cleared
away the board had directed that nc
committees shall go beyond 500 ex-
penditure unless authorized by the
board.
Adjourned.

gs- %. .:sni, Mr. Hegster. The Dispen-
sary Act is law Of the State, and whether
we approve or disapprove Of its mandates.
it is the patriotic duty Of every honest, law
sbdisg citizrn Of the state TO not only obey
them, but respectfully countenauce every
worthy and respectable officer apoiuted to
enforce them. The great danger Of opposi-
iion TO the law generally, lies In the chsrac-
ter Of the men selected to enforce its details.
We very seldom see q prudent, discreet and
gentlemanly officer molested or insulted
while in the discharge Of the most unpless-
ant official duties. How imperative il is,
then, that great caro- and prudence skould
oe exercised to select tho coolest and most
discreet men to discharge the delicate duties
required Of constables under this new law
that naturally meets with opposition because
It is intended to enforce radical changes in
the habits and customs Of q majority ofthe
people and will destroy a long established
business.
We have no sympathy with the violent and
insulting action Of the crowds Of Charleston
and Sumter, towards the State constables.
It was wrong in principle and policy. and
will probably recoil with serious conse-
quences upon those cities. In Charles ton
they have already seen their mistake and
taken steps to correct the mischief done.
We, however, think, from what we have
read of the occurrences, that the difficulties
were caused by hasty and indiscreet action
on both sides. But, be that as it may, we
do not think Gov. Tillman's display of fire.
arms for the constables with threats to iu-
struct those officers to shoot down citizens
who insult or modest them, is at oil calcula-
ted to impress the people with greater respect
for those officers or to prevent difficulties
hereafter.
The law is so unusual and many of its
provisions appear so arbitrary, un- democrat
ic and un-American. tha, we cannot expect
the people to fail in love with it at first sight,
consequently great allowance should be made
for indiseretions in opposing unn ecessary
harshness or rudeness in executing those de-
tails which may appear as innovations upon
personal rights and the confscation of per-
situation, official responsibility, prudence
and forbearauce in enforcing the law will do
more to allay excitement, crush so-called
outlawry and create respect for the law than
all the Colts revovers and official mandates
that can be issued to the constables.

BD" II We had the power to rol the
action Of Congress now assembled for the
ostensible purpose of enacting measures for
relieving the present financial and business
depression of the country, we would say to
that body, first, pass graduating income
tax law repeal the 10 per cent, tax on the
State banks, that would give US a sound
flexible home currency, with proper and
rigid RESTRICTIONS thrown around the State
banks; increase the volume of circulating
medium to $50 per capita; repeal the Sher-
man law, aud allow free coinage Of silver
upon parity of IL to of gold value.
There can be no great objection, in our
opinion, to the free coinage of silver but We
never have been abl, to discover how that is
going 10 benefit the common or laboring
classes Of the people We can see plainly
how it will benefit the Western States and
their silver mine owners. 1t has never been
contradicted that the coinage of all the silver
produced in THIS country would not increase
the circulating medium more than 35 cents
per capita. The politicians aud mine own
ers have got the people to believe, however,
that England has been robbipg the Southern
farmers by buying their cotton on cheap
silver basis AMI selling it on high gold
basis. Well, let us try free coinage. We
don't see that it can do the South any harm,
and it will, without doubt, do some other
section Of the country considerable good.
We don't expect to see one dollar of gold.
silver, or paper money come to the South
beyond the amount of what we have got to
sell, and if IA increase Of currency will give
us corresponding advance in the price of
cotton or other products that we may have
for sale, we shall be benefited, provided,
that, from the same cause, the prices of
everything we have to buy land that's nearly
every thing We eat, drink. wear and use) is
not increased corresnondns!y. There is
always two sides TO an argument, and we
cannot help thinking that the Southern
farmers have allowed themselve. &c become
unduly excited upon political theories,
amounting to vagarics, which give them no
promise of any practical relief at present,
aud it is only problemstio as to what good
they will produce.
