Civil law Hectored la Boath Caro
lina,
Oar enhkngM from the North, Booth.
East and Weal, cone to u* big with the
important new* that ciril law h»« been
eniitalr restored in South Carolina.
Thi* intelligence U almoet invariably
announced editorially, and it usually
headed in large capital*, "Restoration of
Civil Law in South Carolina," or some
thing to the *arao effect. Os course
thi* assertion and the editorial com
ment* ate based on the late orders of
(Jen. Sickles abolishing the Provost
Court*, etc., etc., and are, therefore,
rather exaggeration*, and the journals
that give them circulation are led into
error more through carelessness than
evil intention.
We do not wish to complain of Oen.
Sickles’ order, for we regard it is a great
stride towards the entire restoration of
civil order, not only in South Carolina,
but throughout the whole couutry, which
every good citizen must so earnestly
desire; but we do moat solemnly pro
test against the propagation of the error
that such restoration has been already
accomplished in thi* Slate. The order
alluded to plainly, and in unmistakable
language, asserts the continued supre
macy of military control in South Caro
lina, for it assumes to declare what pun
ishments shall be inflicted by the civil
tribunal*, and holds the military power
in terrorem over them, to enforce their
good behavior. A* long as this is the
case civil law is not entirely restored in
South Carolina, becanse the civil law of
this State, as well as of the United
States, gives the civil authorities control
over the military.
We have been relieved from the incon
venience of Provost Coarts, and our jails
•re again in the hands of the civil au
thorities, but so far from civil law being
entirely restored, the fact is plain that
such ctVil law as we do enjoy is only by
sufferance, and has been vouchsafed to
us at the good pleasure of a higher
authority, which threatens to deprive us
of it whenever there may lie cause so to
do. —Charleston (S. C.) News.
The same may be said of every South
ern State. Civil law exists ouly by suf
ferance of the higher authority. The
Savannah News and Herald , alluding to
a collision between the Mayor of Talla
hassee, Florida, and the Military author
ities of that State, says that the case was
referred to the Secretary of War, who
referred it to the President, who decided
that the civil authority is supreme, and
that the Mayor was right. That may be
all very true; but it is equally true that
whenever the military choose to super
cede the civil authority, they invariably
do so, and every individual ease will
have to be appealed to the President for
adjudication. We have had several ex
amples of this character in our State—
which it is needless to recount here—
hut all going to show the nature and
extent of civil authority in Georgia and
the South. The order of General Sick*
les and the statements of the Commander
of Georgia, as well as the actions of
military commanders, in the Southern
States generally, all confirm the state
ment of our Charleston cotemporary
that, over the civil tribunals, “ the mili
tary power ” is held “ in terrorem to en
force their good behavior,” and as our
cotemporary justly adds, “as long as
this is the case civil law is not entirely
restored in Sooth Carolina, (nor, we
add, in any other Southern State), be
cause the civil law of this State, as well
as of the United States, gives the civil
authorities control over the military.”
We make this statement not in any
captious or fault-finding spirit, for we
Southern people are very meek and
homble, and are grateful for the mer.
sure of civil authority that has been
vouchsafed to us; but to keep the record
clear, and to correct misapprehension as
to oar real status, we have ventilated it
We know that the Radicals would not
have given us os much, and hence the
gratitude which we feel to President
Johnson,and the snpport which we give
his reconstruction policy.
Mr. Stephens, ot Georgia.
The New York Times, of the 19th
instant, says of this distinguished Geor
gian :
“ Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia,
has again and again publicly professed
his willingness to make any personal
sacrifice to secure the pacification of
the conntry and the rehabilitation of all
the States in the Union. His future
political prospects and public position,
he has told us, were as nothing in view
of this great and desirable consamma
mation. Now Mr. Stephens has an op
portunity to give a practical turn to
these professions. He is a member
elect ot the United States Senate from
the State of Georgia, but he is prohibit
ed from taking the position by the third
section of the Constitutional Amend
ment—which amendment is the condi
tion held out by the victorious North to
the Southern States, for the return of
the latter to the Union.
“ Now, let Mr. Stephens, laying aside
all personal considerations and selfish
objects, go to work and use the un
equalled influence which he possesses in
the South to get, first the State of Geor
gia, and then the other States of the
South, to ratify the Constitutional
Amendment. Though bis powerful
Union speeches, six years ago, failed to
keep Georgia in the (Jnion, we have lit
tle doubt that he would succeed with
the present measure ; and thus he would
bring back his own State, nnd perhaps
others, to the enjoyment of all their con
stitutional privileges—an object which
he undoubtedly has much at heart.
Such an example on the part of Mr.
Stephens would be a very noble one in
every respect, nnd would commend him
to his countrymen of all sections. More
over, it must be remembered that neither
his exclusion from office, nor the exclu
sion of any other Southerner, is made
irrevocable by the Amendment. For it
is explicitly provided in the third section
which establishes and limits the disabili
ties, that ‘Congress may, by a vote of
two thirds of each House, remove such
disability.’ It is more than likely that
favorable action would be taken in his
case, under this clause, if he were to
pursue the course referred to. So that,
after all, he would be only temporarily
debarred from public life. The Legisla
ture of Georgia meets next month, and
w« shall then im what policy Mr. Ste
phen* will pursue in the matter.”
Wa have no authority to define Mr.
Stephens’ political position, bat we ven
ture to predict that he i* not yet pre
pared to advocate so dishonorable a
measure a* the adoption of the Consti
tutional Amendment by hi* native State.
He it a man of too much good judg
meat, and too much love for his own
•action to be guilty of any such folly a*
that.
Gov. Orr of South Carolina has
been numbered among the advocates of
the Amendment; bnt it is now officially
announced that he is opposed to it. And
all the leading men of tha South are op
posed to it—Gov. Humphreys, Gov.
Sharkey, Gov. Orr, the Governor of
Texas, aye, all of them, pre opposed to
it; and even if they were not, the Souths
aru people are opposed to it, and no
Southern Legislature, left to its own free
will and judgment will ever adopt it
The Thnes, therefore, need not wait
nntil the meeting of the Georgia Legis
lature to see “what policy Ms. Stephens
will pursue in the matter.” It may as
well cease at once to flatter itself with
the hope that he will advocate the adop
tion of the Constitutional Amendment
by the Georgia Legislature, or that, if
he does, the Georgia Legislature will act
in accordance with bis recommendation.
Southern Agriculture.
The subject of Agriculture is one of
the deepest interest to the people of the
Southern States. We have urged its
importance time and again, and feel
that we cannot do so too often. We
are pleased to observe that everywhere
our people seem to be awaking to their
true interests and are forming Agricul
tural Societies—in some places even
preparing to hold County and State
Fairs, as of yore. In Georgia, the
Counties are at work organizing Agri
cultural Societies, and it is to be hoped
that a State Association will be organ
ized and a system of State and Couuty
Fairs adopted. It is useless to hope
for prosperity, if we remain idle and be
wail our fate. No, we must work 1
work! work! That is the motto.
Work with zeal, with energy, and a
determination to succeed.
Apropos of this subject, we append
the following timely remarks from the
Charleston (S. C.) News, of Oct. 20th :
“The basis of a people’s lasting
prosperity is a judicious and well-man
aged system of agriculture: and in no’
part of the earth would it yield richer
returns than in the States of the South,
covering an immense area of country,
located in a latitude which exempts it
from the lasting heats of the tropics nnd
the more trying winters of more North
ern regions. Penetrated in every part
by navigable streams, there is, perhaps,
no country in the world, of equal ex
tent, which is so gifted by noture. A
late writer truly says that ‘ whether in
the United States or out of it, that sec
tion of territory extending lrom the
Potomac to the Rio Grande, will be, in
all respects, far ahead of any other.
It has a soil and a climate that can
raise all the products that grow in the
world, or their substitutes, with, per
haps, the exception of a few spices ;
while beneath its surface lie nearly
every mineral. Every section is
watered by streams that give facilities
for working every kind of machinery
that man can invent or desire ; nnd be
sides all this, like all warm climates, it
is very healthful. If it is not true that
warm climates are the most healthful,
why has it always been found, with the
exception of the Southern States, that
it Ims been beyond comparison the most
densely populated ?'
“ Owing to the abundance of cheap
lands, the mode of cultivating the soil
heretofore generally adopted in the
South was only calculated to bring
large immediate gains, with the cer
tainty of final exhaustion and poverty.
Our regard for old forms certainly has
its value, but when applied to agricul
ture in the present day, it can only
delay prosperity and prevent success.
Deep plowing, the diligent collecting of
all substances suitable for manures, and
their judicious application to the soil—
a rotation of crops, and the introduction
of all the improved forms of agricultural
instrumentalities—are very necessary to
us if we wish to become prosperous in
the future. The question of human
labor is at all times a most important
one, but to the people of this section, at
present, it has become in many cases a
most vital matter, and many valuable
estates may be saved from abandonment
by the introduction and proper use of
labor-saving machinery. It has been
stated in a manner aud form that en
titles it to our earnest consideration,
that the labor of the South might be
doubled in power by the introduction of
the machines now used in cultivating
the sail at the North and in parts of
Europe. If true, how greatly might our
wealth be increased almost immediately,
notwithstanding our present drawbacks;
and we hope that our agriculturalists
will give the subject that earnest con
sideration which its importance de
mands.”
A Smart Little Lady.— The folio*,
ing paragraph we find in (he New York
correspondence of the Charleston Even
ing News. It appears extraordinary
that one so young can be so proficient
in a branch of reporting the most diffi
cult and trying—correct criticism ; yet
we see no reason why young ladies
should not wield the pen as gracefully
and effectively as the gentlemen ; and
our only regret is that we haven't got a
niece of our own as accomplished as Mr.
Greely’s. Perhaps if we could get some
body else’s niece it would do as well-
But let that pass. Here is what the
correspondent says:
“ Whether or not it be true thnt the
peu is mightier than the sword, it is un
doubtedly the case that the former can
sometimes be ably wielded by the gentle
baud of the fair sex. Home of the very
bust of the Uistori criticisms that huvu
appeared are those which have been
published in the Tribune , and urc from
the pen of a young lady but fourteen
years of age. a niece ot lioraoe Greeley.
To see the young girl ns she sits in the
theatre, pencil in bund, and fills page
after page with the readiness ot an old
practiced quill, is to gnsso and wonder,
and wondering, still gaze on. If such
thing* can be—if young school girls are
to rise up and ‘push us from our scats,’
by reporting for newspapers and beating
the majority of us in their reports, we
may well vote for Mrs. Elizabeth Cuddy
Stanton for Congress, as a candidate
who Brooks no opposition."
How tmb Evkniko Star Procured
her Passengers. —The following from
the Now York News of the 2d instant,
folia how the Evening Star, which foun
dered at sea, info week, procured her
passengwa :
“ On Saturday the steamship Evening
Star sailed from this port for New Or
leans, bearing hence eighty-seven prosti
tutes. It is a custom among the mat
rons of the large assignation houses o*
Savannah, New Orleans, and other
Southern cities, at the opening of the
fall season, to visit the Northern States
and spend r month or six weeks in seek
ing and selecting the most fascinating
beauty that may be found in the bouses
of prostitution in New York, Boston,
and Philadelphia, and these they con
sign to their bagnios in the South.
‘‘Last month, Biancn Robbins, Jennie
King, Flora Bedell, Susan Kingsley,
1 nnd several other well-known keepers of
fashionable mansions of pollution in
New Orisons, arrived in this city, nnd
at once commenced their search for a
supply of fresh victims to fill the places
of &08e cf whom they had been relieved
by Temoval or death. After weeks they
suaceed in procuring the number requi
site to fill their almost deserted harems;
and on this occasion the number who
embarked on board the Evening Star
was, as we have already said, eighty:
seven, some of them the mo3t accom
plished, handsome, and unscrupulous
lorettes to be found in the gilded broth
els of this city. - . *
“Every available state-room on the
Evening Star-which could be procured,
had been engaged in advance of the
hour of sailing, and into these were
packed two or three girls to each room.
So sudden had been this arrangement'
that passengers who were bound to the
Crescent City on business found them
selves deprived of the ordinary accom
modafions by this remarkable cargo of
the lost.
‘* Bianca Robbins, well known
throughout the South as the mistress of
one of the most elegant and costly
houses in New Orleans, secured accom
modations for and shipped twenty-
Jennie King, of almost equally exten
sive reputation, managed for the trans
portation of twenty; while Flora Bedell
and Susan Kingsley provided for fifteen
and ten girls respectively, and the re
mainder were secured by other mis
tresses, who provided for groups of from
three, to five, making an aggregate ot
eighty-seven,
“ The steamer was advertised to sail
•t three o’clock precisely, and long be
fore that hour a succession of hacks
had discharged their inmates on the
pier; and immense trunks, bearing in
emblazoned letters the romantic names
of Ella Livingstone, Rose Standish,
Julia Mortimer, Nell Maynard, Geor
giana DeVere, Pauline Sinc'air, Hor
tense PeLaunay, Clara Winterton, Mud
aline Walters, lay piled in utter confu
sion by the gangway of the ship, while
the anxious Mesdames and gay daugh
ters ot the devil flitted hither and
thither among the motley concourse
which had gathered to witness their de
parture. Leave takings were indulged
in, and many a girl wiped the tears
from the corners of her eyes with her
embroidered kerchief as she took a fond
farewell of the pampered pimp who had
ciceroned her and taken care of her
luggage. And luxuriantly dressed
swells strutted pompously about, whif
fing their segars and commenting on
the scenes before them; while the
stalwart seamen of the steamer visibly
grinned.
“ The scene was one of excitement
and confusion, which was heightened by
the appearance of a body of civil mar
shals bearing in their hands a number
of writs of detainer, which had been
grouted for the detention of the luggage
■of absconding debtors, and who imme
diately commenced an active search
among the trunks for the property of
various females who had forgotten to
pay their landladies or their shoemakers.
Protests and entreaties were of no avail;
the officers of the law were inexorable,
and it was not until the Southern ma
trons came to the rescue, and by the
pnyment of the claims released the
trunks and band boxes from seizure and
restored them to their owners,”
TnE llexry Clay Statue.— The
Richmond (Va.) Times, of the 18th inst.,
has the following:
“We have already taken occasion to
notice the gross neglect in not prop
erly caring for the beautiful marble
statue of Henry Clay, which stands upon
the southwestern slope of the Capitol
Square. About ten years ago this monu
ment of affection to one of Virginia’s
most patriotic nnd eloquent sons was
placed in its present position,
manded the admiration of all who visited
the romantic grounds, of which it fornv
ed one of the most prominent attractions.
Since then it has scarcely been touched
with any other hand save that of the
Vandal, till now the dust and mould on
it renders it difficult to recognize the
features, and hoth bands arc but little
better than fingerless stumps. The
right hand is entirely shapeless, and nr|
a finger remains while the left has been
severed from the middle finger below
atbe thumb. Each day this statue is suf
fering from neglect, and uuless some
thing is done to protect it from furtho
Vandalism it wilt be marred beyond re.
covery. The neglect is unpardonable.
Surely something should be done for the
preservation of the Commonwealth’s
property —especially such revered relics
as the beautiful monuments to her an
cient statesman and patriotic hero.
A Queer following
somewhat remarkable advertisement, ap
peared in the columns of a recent
number of a “Back Country” news
paper :
“ Lost, by a poor lad tied up in brown
paper with a white etriag, a German
flute in mi overcoat, and several other
articles of wearing apparel."
EquiTAßi.K SETri.EMEKTS.-Tha South
ern Recorder says that Judge Reese, at
the late term of the Hancock Court, de
fined the construction of the State ordi
nance in reference to the equitable ad
justment of contract* made durihg the
war. as follows:
The jury must confine themselves to
the “ Contract.” The Convention says
contracts in the war must be settled
“ equitably,” and “ either party may
prove in evidence the value of the con
sideration at any time;” but you must
oonstrue this according to the United
States Constitution, which forbids tha
State to impair contracts ; and the Geor
gia Convention is only the State. So
you cannot, as a jury, so construe their
Ordinance of November, 1865, as to im
pair the contracts of the parties; that
contract must govern you, not the Ordi
nance, or any notion of yours about
“ Equity." The Ordinance only niters
the rule of evidence, and that merely for
the purpose of showing by parol evidence
what sort of money the contracting par
ties actually meant, and if they had no
definite idea, then the jury may say
what sort of money was probably in
tended by the parties. The word “ dol
lar* ” in a contract, presumptively
means “constitutional” dollars; but
now parol proof i* admissible, to show
you that the parties actually or probably
meant “ Confederate ” dollars. If so,
then the jury must reduce the coutract
to gold, and add the discount of cur
rency.
Roger A. Pryor ok Johk Vaxßu
b»k.—The several New York Courts took
appropriate action in regard to the death
of {he Hon. John Van Buren, in the
Superior Court, Judge Garvin, presiding.
General Roger A. Pryor, who was enga
ged in a case in that Court, moved its
adjournment; in some remarks pointing
to the great loss which the community
and the bar had sustained, in Mr. Van
Buren’s decease. He said:
Although comparatively a stranger to
the deceased, I have a melancholy pleas
ure in offering my tribute of respect to
his memory, and, in sympathy with the
community at large, to attest my sense
of the loss sustained by his untimely
death. Unquestionably the loss of Mr.
Von Buren involves a calamity to socie
ty, of which, by reason of bis kindly tem
perament and his varied accomplish
ments, he was a signal ornament; in
volves a calamity to the profession of
which, in former times, he was an orna
ment and snpport; and I believe at this
time his death involves a loss to the
country ; to which, by reason of those
large associations, his broad and com
prehensive mind, and his political expe
rience, he might have contributed to
very great advantage. Mr. Van Buren
was known in all parts of the country.
His mind has been instructed by the
lessons of history and of philosophy.
He was of a catholic spirit. There was
nothing narrow, malignant, or mean in
him ; and Ido believe now, if he had
survived, he would have been prompt
and zenlous to contribute and repair the
broken fortunes of our country, to con
solidate our and to precipitate
the country along the career of prosperi
ty, which I freely believe awaits her in
no distant future.
Death of Hok. John Van Boren.—
Our telegraphic dispatches yesterday
announced the death of this distin
guished lawyer and politician. He died
on his way from Europe to the United
States of an acute attack of inflamma
tion of the kidneys, after a short illness.
Mr. Van Buren was the son of Martin
Van Buren, the former President. He
was a man of great talent, and exercised
at one time an immense influence in the
political affairs of his State. He was a
lawyer of the very highest grade of
ability, and became greatly distinguished
even at an early ago by the vigor and
brilliancy of some of his forensic efforts.
Os late years he has paid but little at
tention to political matters, and has con
fined himself to the practice of law, in
which he achieved an unusual degree of
success, and accumulated a large for
tune. At the time of his death he was
about fifty-three years of age.—Louis
ville Courier.
