important Dispensary Decision.

Columbia, June l9.-The Supreme
Court has rendered an opinion of much
importance in connection with the
seizure of liquor by constables. 1t
was case from Spartanburg entitled
Matte Moore VS.. Ben W. Eubanks.
The constable had seized a vehicle
alleged to have been used in unlaw-
fully transporting liquor and, accord
ing to the usual custom, confscated
it. An action of claim and delivery
was instituted in the Circuit Court,
which decided that such action could
not be taken, but that if the property
was recovered at all it would have to
be through the Governor or State
board Of control, which had been the
procedure in such cases.
An appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court which holds that an &C.
tion of claim and delivery might be
brought to test whether the seizure
of liquors by dispensary constable
was in accordance with law or not, no
other remedy for an alleged seizure
being provided in the dispensary law.
This upsets the whole procedure
heretofore and it is likely that many
cases will arise on the contention that
vehicles and liquor had been illegally
seized. There is case of that sort
in Columbia now.

England and the United States.

The London Statist recently re-
marked cit is to be recollected that
if matters 60 on as they are going at
present the United States will each
year have an immense balance due to
it from US on account of our imports
from it of food and raw materials.
This immense balance will enable it
gradually to redeem it's debt, and In
the course of a comparatively snort
time that debt will be wiped out, and
then the whole immense balance will
be at the absolute disposal of the Unit
ed States. It may leave the money
represented by it to finance operations
in London, or it may insist upon being
paid every year to the uttermost
farthing. In any event, our money
market will be under the absolute
control of the capitalists of the United
States. Just as at the present moment
our capitalists are able to send gold
from London to Buenos Ayres so as
to avoid sending it direct from Lon
don, in the future American capital
lists will be able to send gold from Lon
don to any part Of the world they de-
sire, no matter what the consequences
may be to the London money market.
Thirty years ago or so very large part
of the government debt of the United
States was held in Europe. Now the
amount of the debt so held is hardly
worth talking of. Ten years ago the
amount of industrial securities of all
kinds held in Europe was enormous:
Ten years hence the remnant that will
still be held by Europe will in all
probability be quite triaing. The
United States in another ten years
will be a great shipowning country,
will own its own securities and send
its goods on board it's own ships, and
we shall not only have to pay for the
goods, but we shall have to pay
freight, insurance and commissions
likewise. When our imports from
the United States exceed our exports
to the United States by elco, 600, 600
or more, what will become of our
money market, and how. shall We make
the payments which somehow or other
will have to be made''

WATCHING RUSSIA.
Naval Demonstration in the East
Show America, Japan and
England are Alert.

Victoria. B. c., June 1.-THE
steamer Victoria, from the Orient,
brought news Of naval demonstra-
ton being held i'll connection with the
situation in the Far East by the
japanese and British at Che Foo. A
number of United States warships
were also present.
The Tien- -Tsin correspondent of The
Toxic Axalli says some of the Ameri-
can warships have entered the Yellow
sea and landed several engineers at
New Chwang and Yalu river for the
purpose of surveying these districts.
It is also stated large number OF
Americans have lately been entering
Manchuria to inspect the territory and
watch the movement of the Russians
there.
The Chuo says Russian naval
maneuvers are going on in the neigh
borhood of Dalny, May 10 fifteen
Russian warships which were taking
part in the maneuvers sailed for Port
Arthur. a portion of the feet plays
the part of the japanese navy while
the ships that came to the Far East
recently play that of the Russian
navy.
The Shanghai papers give the fol-
lowing translation of an alleged tele-
gram on May L, from Chang Chin
Tong, at PekIng, to Acting Viceroy
WI Chang Iuan Fang: AS regards
the Russian condition the government
is in state of great perplexity. In
my opinion these conditions should be
formally rejected. If the Russians
maintain their demand we should beg
the court to transfer the seat OF gov
eminent to Nanking and declare war
on Russia.

ssh is an i'll wind that blows nobody
rood. y While many Of the cotton
mills of the South are in a pinch
over the matter of securing cotton and
of making profit on their goods at
fhe present high price OF the raw

gal. the Clifton Manufacturing COM
Eany has gone ahead and disposed OF
600 bales Of cotton on which it is
said that the net profit was $50, 600.
The company had on hsnd nine
thousand bales of cotton when the
Hood struck their warehouses. Six
thousand bales were saved, while most
OF the remainder is scattered down
Pacolet river for uiiIes below the
mills. This success in selling cotton

more will move their plants from the

About the beginning Of the month Of
April. 1884. the family of Mr.. Silas Bur-
ritt observed a certain alteration In
that gentleman's habits and demeanor.
II appeared to those who studied
him that he became imbued with an
air Of anticipation-that he started
when knock was heard at the door.
and that the advent OF the postman
was awaited by him. II not with anx-
fety. at any rate with an amount of
eager expectancy which was. In gen
eral way. quite foreign to him.
II was also observed that the nearer
they drew to the end OF the month,
the more these symptoms became ex-
went by unmarked by an unusual oc-
currence, he was observed to shake
his head with halfsmile and a half
sigh, and mutter. as he thought to
himself. Dead or forgotten?" After
which. he remained plunged in rehec-
ton for n considerable time.
II was his son Edward-more gen.
orally known as "Ted"-who happened
to overhead these words, and they
caused him no small amount OF be-
wilderment
He stood with his sister May in the
hall of Mr.. Burritt's large. old-fash
Toned house at Dulwich. 1t was about
seven O'Clock in the evening that. as
the brother and sister were talking in
low voices. the former was interrupted
by the sound Of an abrupt. loud. double
knock.
> There's the seven o'clock post"
said the girl. Il wonder II there's any.
thing for father this time? II there

But as she turned towards the direc-
ticn -of the letter box. the study door
was thrown hurriedly open and an

hall. and extricated from its receptacle

velope. the direction on which was
written in large. scrawling hand.
