Yesterday was another delightfully."- sunny Sab
bath and the streets Of the city were thronged by
churchg0ing people. The places OF worship, as
a matter OF consequence, were crowded and the
sermons were almost all OF a cheerful character
Some OF them seemed too to aim at sensational
effects In their reference to politics, crimes,
great fires, the water supply and the gold
gambling In Wall street; and, in q word the
caterers to the wespiced and well-worn appetite
of the public conscience had not lost their in
stinctive knowledge OF human failings, by means
OF which they seek TO extend their influence
or their shrewd love OF notoriety. What would now

aud pleasure to call the attention OF our
readers TO the following reports of religious reason

currants. Pound it until it is almost as

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Supreme


Court to-day decided the case from iLo


Georgia Supreme Court in relation 10 the


validity OF note for the price Of slave.


The Georgia Court held that 1t was pro.


hlbited taking any Jurisdiction OF such a
case, and gave judgment for the defend.
ant on the following grounds:


1st. That when the Constitution of
1858 was adopted, Georgia was not a
State In the Union; that Sue had severed
her connection as such, aud was a con.
quered territory, wholly at the mercy of
the conqueror, and that hence the Con.
stitutlon Ofthe United States, prohibiting
any State to pass any law impairing the
obligation Of contracts, has no application
to her.


3d. That her Constitution does not Of.
feet the contract, but only denies the IuriG.
dictlon 10 her courts TO enforce II.


3D. That her Constitution was adopted
under the dictation and coercion OF Con.
gress, and 1t Is an act Of Congress rather
than Of the State, and that though
State cannot pass u law In violation Of the
validity Of its contracts Congress can
and that for this reason, also, the inhibl.
tion in the Federal Constitution has no
effect In this case. This Judgment was
reversed by this court. The first proposl.
ton was thus decided and the court again
aftlrms that the late rebellion was without
the shadow OF right or sanction of the
law; that the duration or magnitude ofthe
war did not change It's character;
that the States In rebellion were
never out Of the Union and absolved
from duties, liabilities and restrictions
incumbent upon them. In the second
point II Is said that without remedy the
contract may be said to exist, and does Of
validity, and the remedy is inseperable,
and the denial Of the remedy by the State
was invalid, because it annihIlated the con.
tract. The third point Is clearly unsound
The action Of Congress upon tho subject
can not be inquired into. Tho case Is
clearly one in which the individual Is
compelled to follow the political depart.
ment OF government. This concluded by
q similar case from Arkansas, in which
there was warranty that the slave was
sound, and that he was slave for life.
The court says that such q warranty did
not extend to the exercise of sovereign
power Of the State by which the slave
was emancipated.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Presi.
dent to day transmitted for the iniorma.
tion OF the Senate copy Of the counter
case of the United States in favor Of the
claims against Great Britain presented to
the Board Of Arbitration at Geneva. II
concludes as follows:


The United States concur with Her
Majesty's Government in the opinion that
a claim on the part Of belligerent to be
Unidentified at the expense Of a neutral
for losses inflicted or occasioned by any
ordinary operations Of war, is one which
involves grave considerations, and re.
quires TO be weighed with the utmost
care. Without the explanatory observa
tons which Her Majcstys Government
reserves the right to make in the latter
stage ot the proceedings, they cannot say
how far they do or do not concur in the
further statement that conversation can
only and justly be affixed ny u tribunal
in respect to losses OF which the negligence
OF the neutral was the direct or the prOXi.
mate cause. 1t appears 10 them, however,
that certain general considerations may
reasonably be assumed by the arbitratOrS.


First, Both parties contemplate that the
United States will endeavor to establish
in these proceedings some connection Of
cause. aud effect between the injuries for
which they ask compensation and acts
connected by several clauses of the treaty,
which 1t contemplates are to be shown to
be the foundation OF those injuries.


. Second. The tribunal of arbitration be.
ingA Judicial body, invested by the parties
with functions necessary for the deter.
mining Of the issues between them, and
being now possessed Of substance Of the
matter In dispute, will itself be bound by
such reasonable and established rules Of
law, regarding the real cause and effect as
it may assume the parties had In view
when they entered into their engagement
10 make this reference. ..u.1


Third, Each party cOntemplates that
the tribunal will establish or be governed
by rules In this respect which will either
on the one hand tend to release the neu.
trails from their duty to observe strict
neutrality, or, on the other hand, will
make course OF honest neutrality bur.

the case and cOunter.cases Of tho two

and to the decision Of the tribunal. The
United States repeat with strengthening
conviction the language with which they
closed their cases. -


It is the highest interest of the two
great powers which appear at this bar
that the causes Of difference which have
arisen between them should be speedily
and forever settled. The United States Is
in confident expectation that Her Males.

| CONCLUDED FROM LAST NUMBER.
! MIR. RAY venture to assert that


since the organization of our nation


al government, in 1774, there has


never been an extra session of any
Legislature called during the time
it was IN regular session.


MIR. Campbell-The Senator has
not answered my question. Iasked


him whether in all his varied and
extensive reading so extraordinary
an occasion as this had ever attract
ed his attention. Now, Mr.. Presi-
dent, the Governor, in the exercise
of the discretion vested in him by
this article of the constitution, and
in accordance with what 1 believe is
the almost unanimous judgment of
the people of the State, whether
they be his friends or foes, called an
extraordinary session of the Gener-
al Assembly. If he had not done
this, I do not believe his admins
tration would have lasted more than
twenty-four hours.


Mr.. Ray-What is the reason it
would not have lasted twenty-four
hours?


Mr.. Campbell-Because when the
revolution was fairly in progress
they intended to remove Governor
Warmoth in some way, one branch
of the conspiracy wishing to put
George W. Carter in his place, and
the other branch desiring a Demo-
cratic Governor. Some spoke of
removing his excellency by assassin
alton, some by mob violence or
general calling together of every
body, and some by impeachment.


Mr.. Ray-But what is at the bot
tom of this thing?


Mr.. Cambell-The bottom is what
I have stated; the Senator ( Mr.. Ray)
can give has ideas of it afterward.
The Governor, I say, convened the
General Assembly in extra session.
The only point of any Importance
that the Senator can make is that
the House and Senate having met
on that day and adjourned to the
next day, the Governor could not
an extra session in the interval.
Can the Senator point to anything
in the constitution forbidding it?
No; he has no reason for entertain
ing such an opinion, and when he
was asked by a Senator (Mr. Nc
Millen) whether, if something very
extraordinary should happen in the
interval between the adjournment
and the subsequent meeting, the
Governor would not have a right to
call the extra session his reply
was that the proposition was alb
surd. That may be a very easy
way of replying to proposition,
but I submit that it is not a very
powerful constitutional way of dis

plows. This is an assurance of another
prolific year, which will add greatly to
the wealth and importance of the State.
This year we have produced more wheat
than could be well housed or carried
away, and prices were quite low. While
producing such enormous quantities of
wheat at great labor and cost to the far
mer, many other farm products are very
dear, and the supply maintained by i'm
portation. The best quality of butter
sells for IS cents per pound, eggs are
brought from Iowa and Illinois, hams,
bacon and lard are imported, poultry is
very dear, and so with almost everything
in the catalogue. The growing of cotton
has proven a success, also hop growing,
and undoubtedly anything that is raised
proftably in any part of the world would
prove proportionally remuneratiye here,
where we have "a fertile soil, swamp and
high land and a semi-tropical climate. 1t
is to be hoped that in the coming year
farmers will diversity their products
little, and even if they do raise wheat,
find some way to use as much as possible
at home. The last great crop should
have freed them from debt and given
them capital to prepare for more profta-
BILE ways for disposing of their wheat
than exporting it all. A.

Nearly all officers of the law claim the
right to seize persons watch for debt
The Supreme Court of New York in a
recent case decided that time-pieces are
not liable to execution for debt. The
New York Herald says


The defendant had the misfortune to
become involved in debt, and his proper
ty was handed over to receiver for the
benefit of his creditors. In his transfer
of property he refused however, to part
with his watch. A motion was accord
ingly made to make him give up his
time-piece. For the defendant it was
claimed that man s watch was nothing
more or less than an article of dress, that
a creditor had no more right to take than
ones coat On the other hand it was in
sisted that watch was an article of lux
ury, and one that should be given up in
payment of debt. After hearing the ar
gument the Judge denied the motion, or,
in other words, to use his own language
as entered in the record of decisions. A
watch is included among the necessary
articles of debtor which are exempt from
the claims of the creditor.
