Supreme Court Decisions. Digested by W. W. Fuller, Attorney-at-Law, Smith, C. J. : Wittkowsky vs. Reid, from Mecklen burg. No error. A debtor owing two or more debts to the same creditor and making a pay ment, may at ine time direct trie appli cation of it ; if the debtor does not di rect tne application at the time, thfl creditor may make it ; if neither debtor nor creditor makes it, then the law will apply it to that debt for which the creditor's security is most precar ious. Smith, C. J.: Horton vs. No error. White, from Caldwell. A plaintiff claiming land having en tered into and taken possession of an unoccupied house on the disputed land. it is proper for the court to enjoin the piainun ironi resisting the occupation of the usurped premises and secure the rents and prohts until it can be ascer tained and tinally determined to whom tne property belongs. Smito, C. J. : State vs. Allred, from Randolph. No error. 0 lhe defendant gave to a customer (the prosecutor) two spurious half dimes in change for the purchase mon ey ot a pair of shoes. The money of the prosecutor was not obtained by any fraudulent representation or practice by which he was induced to part with it. Nor does it appear that any intent to cneat or oeiraud entered the mind of the defendant before he received the prosecutor's money. Therefore, an in dictment under liattle s Revisal. char ter 32, section 66, cannot be maintained. A verdict ol not guilty was properly given. Smith, C. J. : Mendenhall vs. Benbow, from Guil ford. No error. If no facts are shown to impeach the integrity or an executor s conduct in the management of his suit to con vert his testator's lands into assets, he will not be held personally accountable, though loss may have ensued. When joint estates are held for pur poses of trade, etc., and one tenant dies, the estate shall be vested in the surviv ing parter to settle the partnership busi ness or pay off the partnership debts, and then he shall account to the par ties entitled as heirs, executors, etc., of the deceased partner. There can be no division of partnership property un til all the accounts of the partnership have been taken and the clear interest of each partner ascertained. When what was done was done by order of court, there can be no devasta vit or misapplication of assets in that respect. Ashe, J : Harrison vs. Chappel, from Beaufort. No error. The Judge, at the conclusion of his charge to the jury, called upon the counsel on both sides to say if they had any instructions to request, and they Dotn declared they had none. If anv objection was to be taken to the charge, then was the proper time to do so, and the failure to do so was an assent to the charge, and no exception could be taken after judgement upon a motion for a new trial. The Cowpena Centennial. At a meeting of the Cowpens Centen nial committee, held in Spartanburg on Friday, it was ordered that a pro gramme for one day, the 11th of May, be prepared. It was also ordered that the Governor of South Carolina be re quested to preside at the centennial ceremonies, and that the Governors of the other thirteen original States and Tennessee be invited to act as vice presidents: also that the Governor of South Carolina, in behalf of the asso ciation, extend invitations to the Gov ernors of all the States to attend the celebration. Gen. H. J. Hunt, of the United States army, having accepted an invitation to review the troops on the occasion, it was ordered that the following gentlemen be invited to act as his aides, viz: Col. S. B. Pickens, of Charleston ; L.ieut. Daniel Morgan Tay lor, U. S. A. ; Col. McIIenry Howard, Baltimore, and Washington, Char- eston. An invitation was extended to the President of the United States and his cabinet to attend the celebration. Dr. H. E. Heintish, Dr. J. B. O. Lan- drum and S. S. Ross were appointed a committee to superintend the erection of the monument and prepare for the unveiling of the statue of Morgan, and to superintend tbe construction of a stand for the speaker. The following programme for the ilth of May was arranged: - Sunrise.'7 Salute, 13 guns. 10 A. M-Military review by General Hunt, U.S. A. . , J 12 M". centennial Ode, Centennial Orations.

In Daniel Websteis speech on the! currency in 1838 isr this extract : "He it enacted by the General Assem bly of. the. State of; Ffanklyn, and it is hertby enacted by the authority of the same: That from the first day of Janu ary, 1779, the salaries of the officers of this commonwealth be as follows, to wit: .o'i "His Excellency, the Governor, 1,000 deer skins. j "His Honor, the Chief .

"Justice's fee for signing a warrant, one muskrat skin. "To the Constable for serving a war rant, 1 mink skin. "Entered into a law the 18th day of October, 1779." It will be seen from this extract that some of the allowances were very small, but if the same pay were allowed, constables now , in this section, we; would be found among the office-seekers, and if we should be elected, just as soon as we got our mink skin we would strike a Dee line for a fur house and turn it into money. Nothing like mon ey, aiter an Dr. Marion Simt't Son' N antes. St Lords Globe Democrat Mr. William Clay Sims, a dry goods cierK on Washington avenue, hiea petition in the Circuit Court yesterday, asking a decree to change his name from William Clay Sims to William Clay Marion Sims, With a hyphen be tween Marion and Sims, making the name Marion-Sims (after the style of Burdett-Coutts), instead of plain Sims, The petitioner states that it is the de sire of his father, Dr. Marion Sims, of JNew York, that his two sons shal have the family name changed in or der to perpetuate tne name Dy which he is known. The name of Sims, he says, is very common in this country. tne csimses Deing scattered over twenty- three or twenty-four States. His fath er is getting old, and desires that his sons shall be known as the offspring of Dr. Marion Sims, the founder ot the Woman's Hospital, and one of the great surgeons of the nineteenth cen tury, who hopes to found a separate branch or the numerous Sims family, His brother, Dr. Henry Sims, of New York, has made a similar application tor a change ot name, and having em ployed.distinguished counsel feels con fident that his prayer will be granted Mr. Jacob H. Wieting is counsel for the St. Louis-Sims, and is" sufficiently distinguished as a lawyer to tender it probable that he will , meet with" as much success as the learned counsel of young Dr. Sims in New York. Under the laws of Missouri, the Circuit Court has full authority to change any man's name to whatever cognomen he may desire to sail under. A Bill A gainut "Treating." Chicago Times. Considerable amusement was created on yesterday morning among the peo ple who keep track of the legislative proceedings, by the introduction into the Hlinois House of Representatives or a hill by Mr. Goodrich, making "treating" a misdemeanor punishable by fine. The bill is modelled after the Nebraska law, which will go into effect soon, and it has a local option clause attached. It not only makes treating unlawful, but the man who is treated is in equal danger of punishment, for it puts the person buying liquor for an other and the person accepting on the same footing. The first section of the sentence suits all classes of cash pa trons of saloons, but the latter provi sion would work a positive hardship to a large class of industrious citizens who put in the greater part of their time waiting for some one to invite them to "take suthm'. 7 The bill, in the high ly improbable contingency or its "pas sage through the Legislature, would break many of these people up in busi ness and would drive them to hard work, or cold water, an intolerable thought to most of them. Ninety Dayi Without Food. Oxford (N. .) Free Lance. A remarkable case of fasting is re ported to us from Granville, which eclipses the celebrated feat or Tanner. The faster is a little boy, aged about 4 years, the son of Mr. N. G.Whitfield, living near Franklin ton. Sometime be fore Christmas the little fellow was at tacked with a disease which was pro nounced measles. It afterwards as sumed the form of consumption and his recovery was considered hopeless. Dur ing the period of ninety days he par took of no solid food of any descrip tion and wasted awav to a mere shad ow of skin and bones. A portion of that time he was too weak to recognize any one, but he is now gaining strength 1 ik. 5 Al - T- I 1 4- V. v. m if aim it is uieuKUb iiia no win muyiabe- ly get well.

Scott, late presi dent of the Pennsylvania' Railroad, on Monday last endowed the chair of mathematics in the University of Pennsylvania, now. occupied by jProfc Kendall, with $50,000. At the same time he gave $50,000 to the Jefferson College, $30,000 to the Orthopedic Hos pital, and $20,000 to the children's de partment of the Episcopal Hospital of Philadelphia. Thek money is now at the disposal of the institutions named, and the three gifts last mentioned are unconditional. The North American states that it has knowledge of another gift of $50,000 to an educational insti tution in the South, of which authori tative announcement will be made in a few days. ' ?
