Two weeks.ago we alluded to the eleo ttons to come off in this State on the first Thursday in August. As we fear tbe people are not sufficiently aroused to the importance of these elections, we again refor to this subject, in order to give some information that m.ty aid the people of of the State in deciding on their course of action. The officers to be electeJ are, two Jus tices Clerk, and a Nonstable for each Township. As these are to hare the im mediate jurisdiction in the policing of the Township, and will form th tribunal for settling the local difficulties within the Township, it behooves the people to make judicious selections of men to fill these places, and this, we think, ought to be done without regard, specially, to party affiliations. We give below, so much of the act of the General Assembly as relates to these officers and duties, from which it will be seen, as we have stated, that these elec tions demand the thought and attention of the people, of the State. Sec. 11. The Board of Trustees shall havo power to purchase and to hold for the the uso of the Township,' such real estate as they may deem necessary, not to exci'ed one acre, aud to erect, thereon a Township bouse, w hich shall be as near central in location as ro-iy be, and for the purpose of buying property and erecting each building, they are authorized if they deem it expedient to lay and collect a tax upon all tho property in the Township, wiih the approval of a majority of the rjualified voters of the Township, to be bold for ht purpose under the direction of such Trustees shall have authority, withiji their respective Townships, to lay out, alter, r-pnr, or discontinue high ways; to establish and settle ferries; to build and keep up bridges, subject to sub division cloven sertiou eiglit, of the be fore recited acts concerning the govern ment of counties ; to lay off or discontin ue cartwa3-s: Io- appoint overseers of highways; to allow ;nd contract for the builJinj; of toll bridges, and to license the erection ol gates acres highways. I his authority shall be exercised under th rule, regulations and and penalties in !l respects, prescribed and imposed in chapter1 one hundred and one of the He 'i.ed Code, upon the Justices of the late County Courts The Clerk of the Hoard sh.ill perform the duties therein enjoined or WAS ili hverf.I in tl, A.. ictidant at the date of sale iu September 1864 and lie had his service until J 805, and upon the supposition that the thing . i, 1 . 1 , . . . r . . .... J. ,ui i" wn; neirro, wits in net i freeman aud not the subject of sale from aud after the proclamation of Jan 1, 1863. The defendant had notice of this fact, as well as theplaiutiff, and according to tho rale of law and of equity and of justice in its ordinary sense, "ho who is to have the gam shonld bear the loss," as is said. Buie vs. Parker. 63 M f).. I.sl. i be matter depended upon future contingencies, and tbe defendant gave bis boatl lot the price and took the chances. Tho reference made bv Mr. Yeates to the law aur-horizinir an innuirv in recrard to contracts payable eipressly ot impliedly in currency, and allowing a iurv to fit tho value thereof, has uo application to our case, for it turns not on the value, but on tbe validity of tbo obligation sued upon. In the second place, Mr, Yeates .ook the position that the bond was void as against the policy of the law, fn tMey by the pnclamation of the President of January 1st, 1863, all slaves arc set free from and after that date. So. at the time of the sale, the person sold was not a slave but a free nun. Admitting the premises, we do not see how tbe conclusion follows. 8ay, ac ccording to the view of President Liu coln, the person sold was a free man at the time of the sale, how could it obstruct his policy, that the suf posed title to the person as a slave was afterwards changed from A to B. Certally it could make no difference in legal effect, whether tho in dividual was held as a slave by tbe one or the other, provided under thi existing state of things, the individual Was to be held as a slave in the same locality. But we do Dot admit tho premises, to to wit: that by force of the proclamation of the President, all slaves are sot free from and after January 1st, 1863 By the act of Congress of July, 1862. ''The slaves of persons who shall hereafter give aid to the rebellion, taking refuge within the lines of the army," and "all slaves captured from such persons, or deserted by them, and coming under the address before the two literary societies,' by Seaton Gales, hsq., of Ualeigh, which was received by the vatt audience with unqualified praise. Tho Major made a very fine impression unon th audience to which personally he was comparatively a atranger. Viti hope the address may be published. That evening came tne annual repre seatatl n of the Pb ltm hiopic and Eurae- oeauHiocieiie.

The Court is unable to seo anv trromul either on the scoro of public noliev or of goou morals, upon which it should refuse to enforce this contract and allow the do- fendaut to escape the payment of a iust debt.

' This act of the legislative branch of the government ot the United States is, by its terms, confined to slaves personally, applies only to such individula as may come under the control of the govern ment. It recognises the existence of bv rela tion or by post Ummi to enlarge the op eration of the act of 1862 and of thn proclamation so as to giveto these meas ures the effect of alraiithing slavery, and making the institution unlawful at the date of this transaction, and consequently inuring me act oi tne parties wicked and against good morals, has. In our opinion, nothing sound to rest on either in law, ethics ar good sense. "Coming events cast their shadows before tlnm," but "events accomplished" do not east a shade behind, sn as to make unlawful that whii-h at the timeMt was done, was uot against law.
