There is good authori¬ty for asserting that the rumors of a difficulty hav¬ing arisen on this subject are groundless.* TitoReconstruction Act vests in the General Com¬manding tho same powers that are conferred uponDistrict Commanders in regard to removals andappointments, and therefore the order of Grant ismerely considered as a notice in advance that hewould disapprove of such appointmen*s as he in¬dicates.

DEATH OF REV. DH. MAURICE MAYER.
We were pained to learn on Saturday evening thcsudden death of the above camed gctleman, at hisresidence in New York, on Wednesday last. We
regret not having tho requisite material at handfor a full sketch of the lifo of the deceased.Dr. MAURICE MAYER was born in Durkheim, in
the Palatinate (Rhenish Bavaria), about tho year1825, and there received his elementary education.Giving carly promise of a quick Mid sprightlymind, his parents ni.'de groat efforts to procurefor him the advantage s of a liberal education. Hopassed through tho t_'vmiasium in Spires, andthen, we behove, enterca tho University at Mu¬nich, whore he finished his h boral studies. He
subsequently studied law at Heideloerg, and afterharing obtained his degree, returned to the placeof his birth, a small Palatine town, where he pro¬posed to establish himself in the practice of tholaw. A cotemporary, who knew him at that time,tells us that, notwithstanding tho prejudice still
prevalent in that country against thoso of thoJewish faith, Dr. MATER onjoyed the esteem
of tho entire community, and had tho entree intothc best society of tho Pfalz.Unfortunately for his future carom, he became
involved in tho political tronidos that resulted inthe revolution ol is is. With a commanding in¬tellect, a fiery enthusiasm, and unparalleledenerby, be took a very active part in the struggle,and when his party suffered a final defeat in thetall of Ristadt, in 1S49, he. with many others, wus
:apturcd, and tried for high treason. Upon biaicquittal of this crime he was indicted for some-
minor State"offence, the exact technical term ofivhieh wo do not now recollect. He was fou:idguilty, and sentenced to imprisonment for a termjf years, but tho penalty was afterwards coininut-
jd to banishment, when he emigrated to theUnit¬ed States about tho yoar 1850.Whilo iu Now York, if wc havo boen correctly
nformcd, he prepared for tho ministry, and inL853 was called to tho congregation Beth Elohim,worshipping ia tho Hasel atreot Synagoguo inbia city. In 1854 he married Miss OTTOLENOUI,if this city. In 1859 ho returned to New York,vherc he resided up to tho period of his death,mgaged in thc practice of tho law, and in literarynusuits. In religion, aa in politics, bo waa a
liberal ; a rationalist in his views of biblicaltcrmoneutics, and by no means orthodox in hisminions of the Mosaic creed. Tho office andlutio8 of tho ministry, therefore, wo have reason
o behove were distasteful to him ; and nothingould induco him to resume its functions after holad resigned his position in this city.Dr. MAYER was a fino Bcholar. Ho had enjoyedhe advantages of the best schools in Germany,'md with superior mental endowmonts, and fine
iterary taste, he invariably strovo to make thenost of his opportunities. Ho was a good linguist,dis familiarity with the classics was such as is
inly attained by a thorough European training.[Io was a tine Hebrew scholar, and spoke andvroto tho German, his native language, with ro-
narkablo grace, elegance audboauty of diction.Ho waa master also of the French, English, and)ther modern tongues. For years ho contributedfreely to tho Jewish periodicals of tho UnitedStates and of Germany, and his articles wero
Uways well rojcivod both by editors and reidera,ile translated mauy works from Gorman into Eng¬lish, and, wo believe, at the time of his death was
engaged in an important work of thia character.Dr. MAYER was of a fine personal presence,
amiable iu character, of thorough gooduosa ofheart, aud pleasant iii manner. Hence ho was
well received in every aphere of life or aociety withwhich his chequered careor brought him in con¬
tact. His frieuda aro to be found throughout theUnited States. During tho past few years he hasheld the office of "Grand Maskil" (Secretary) ofthc Order of B'NAI B'RITH, a secret Jewish organi¬zation, extending throughout tho United States.Ho krA rendered valuable services in tho estab¬lishment of this Order, and its members every¬where will hold bis memory dear. Tho B'r.MiB'RiTn lodges in New York charged themselveswith his burial, and interred him with all thc hon¬ors tho simple Jewish ritual permits of,Dr. MAYER leaves an afflicted widow to mourn
his loas.
A CORRESPONDENT of tho Indianapolis Journal,in describing the Royal Bavarian Foundory, atMunich, says ; "We were surprised to seo heresuch a laigc number of models of statute fromtho hands ol American sculptors, already erectedin, or destined tu bo erected in various cities ofour country. Prominent among these models isCRAWFORD'S large equestrian statuo of WASHING¬TON, which is being put up in ono of the publicsquares in Richmond, Va. The four smaller fig¬ures which are to surround the colossal statue oftho father of our country have not yet been »hip¬ped to America; however, when tue whole work iaonce completed, it may well constitute the boastand pride of the Virginia capita), Another finework of art ij HARRIET HOSMERS statue ofGer ral BENTON, which waa modelled inlion. und is to be erected in St. Louis, Missouri.Among other models of statues hero aeon iaJOEL HARTS Henry Clay, to be erected in NowOrleans; CRAWFORD'S Bcethovu., to bo erected tn
Boston, and three by ROGERS, viz. : The Soldier'sMonument, for Cincinnati, the large bronze doorafor tho capitol at Washington, and Gen. Bolivar,foi South America. Nearly all these models areexecuted in Rome, which has become thu resi-douc of the majority of the American sculptors.H is not, as . rroQcously supposed, that they mayhave the patterns of antiquity before their i ves,that they reside in Romo, but simply becausegood and akUlul workmen cnn there' bo had atthree times cheaper wages than in any otherplace. Hence our sculptors there hire others todo thc rough part of the work for them, and justbefore thc models are completed take them intotheir own hands, in order, as it is known, to givethem their finishing touch. Of tho other modelsherc exhibited I need not speak. Suffice it tu saythat the work of Americans compare.: very favora¬bly with thoso of the most celebrated Europeansculptors.
NEGRO BONDS.
U. S. DISTRICT COURT, for Western District ofSouth Carolina, at Greenville, August Term, 1867.Thursday, August 22, 18C7.[Through the politeness of Messrs. EPPINO and
PRINGLE, WO were furnished with full proceedingsof the Court up to Friday, but thiough a press ofmatter were unablo to publish it iu our Saturday'sissue. We make room this morning for tho follow¬ing interesting account of a trial of a case of'.negro bonds :"]Thomas lt. Agnew, Assignoo, vs. Simpson Bobo.
Thia was an action on a note Riven for the pur-chaso money of a negro slave sold by Mrs. Woffordto thc defondaut in 1858, and warranted by her atthat time to be sound and a slave for life. Notefor $1000, interest annually, due in 1800, was as¬signed to plaintiff.The defence relied upon was a failure of conside¬
ration iu that tho negro, warranted to be a Blavefor life, is still alive but had been made freo. Andalso upon payment-the debt hoing sequostetedby thu Government of the Confederate States astho proporty of an alien enomy, was paid undercompulsion of that Govcrnmont, while at war withthe United States. Hon. B. F. Perry, Esq., ap¬peared for tho plaintiff. The defense was conduct¬ed by Messrs. J. P. Reed and Bobo. The case wasreferred to a jury and ably and fully argued by thecounsel on both sides.In his charge, the Judge said, substantially :
the amount is small; the principle of overwhelm¬ing magnitude. I should gladly have escapedfrom the consideration of this case. The settle¬ment of tho question, however it be settled, willcarn' desolation and poverty home to some one.Great investments lie in bonds and notes givenfor tho purchase money of negroes. In these,women and children have staked their all. Thoquestion is, who shall bear the loss ? Poverty andhardship must como. In my opinion, tho hard¬ship must bc borne by those who had the misfoi-tune to bo owners. It does not fall within theprovince of tho Court to adjust and equalize thoburdens of tho war. That office rather belongs toa legislative tribunal. Abolition grew ont of thenar-tho position of tb- se Southern States in thewar they waged against the Government. Negroeswere employed in many of the essential elementsof the war; they created subsistence, for thearmies, erected fortifications, and, in fact, consti¬tuted the industrial basis of the great conflict.The abolition of slavery thus became a militarynecessity; emancipation an inevitable moral resultof the war. These States could not be recognizeduntil they had recognized what the war hadeffected.
'
It was competont fr>r the United States to dealwith slaves just as with any other personalproporty. Tho owner must suffer. Who sufferedwhen malea or horses were taken? or cotton burntor lifted, or ships captured at sea ? Who, but theowner of such property ? But the laws of property,regulating tho relationship of debtor and creditor,in the matter of the mules, whips or cotton, werenot abrogated. Debts or balances due on the pur¬chase of such mules, ships or cotton wore not can¬celled. The debtors wera not released. Their obli¬gations remain in force at this day. The sellernever made a guarantee against the action of war.Take the case of land. A. owns a fee simple. Hesells and conveys tho title ho got, placing tho pur¬chaser in possession of all tho incidents of owner¬ship with which he himself had boen invested. Ifthe State in the exercise of its right of eminentdomain should take the fee for public uses, thoseller makes no guarantee against tho Stata ; hois not hablo for acts of th 3 State or against con¬fiscation of tho United States. In this case, thoground of defense, failuro of consideration, doeanot therefore appear to be made out ; the warrantywas in every view good at tho time it was givon,its subsequent failuro was duo tc causes for whichthe Belier of the negro was in no wise responsible.Tho other ground of defense, payment by com¬
pulsion under the Sequestration Law of the Con¬federate Government, is equally untenable. ThatGovernment nover had a legal existence, and pay¬ment of the debt under its regulations was there¬fore void.Under these instructions tho jury retired, and
soon returned with tho following verdict : "Wofind for the Plaint iii' sixteen hundred and fifty-onodollars and five cents," the full amount with in-erest.The Greenville Enterpriseh&a the following com-
mcuts on this case : .
DEBTS FOR NEGROES.-Last week wo reportedthe case of Agnew "s. Bobo, decided before JudgeBrvan, at this Court, which was an action upon a
note given in 1858, for a negro; the note hoingheld by a Now Yorker, under the direction of thoCourt, a verdict waB given for tho entire dobt.The case was defended with great ability, and, ac¬
cording to our humble opinion, by the moat trium¬phant argument, by J. P. Reid. Esq., the Solicitorof thia Circuit, who maintained that contracta nothaving been executed, and the law of the landmaking it now criminal to hold a slave, no Courtcould enforce a contract now remaining executory.Cases of this kind havo not yet reached tho
Supremo Court of tho United States, and the casewu speak of being under two thousand dollars, no
appeal can be taken, so tho verdict of the jury asto it is final. This is to bo regretted, as wo thinkit most probable that the Supremo Court woulddecide the case against tho enforcement, at thistime, of contracts for ncgroeB, upon the samo
grounds that tho Supreme Court of Louisiana hasdecide J. We are constrained to bobeve so, becausetho analogous casos support that decision, thatwhere tho law supporting a contract is repealed,tho contract goes with it, more especially when thevery consideration of the contract becomes abso¬lutely criminal as well as void. *
Whether the plaintiff is entitlod pay for the ser¬vices of a negro up to the timo of emancipation, isanother question. Natural justice would seem torequire this much certainly, we think no more.Th- power of States and Governments to émanci¬pât c slaves, has always been claimed and exercised,and whenever that power was put in torce, tho¡State and tho United States asserted their para¬mount right and tifio to control the services ofslaves. After they have done this, it would seom
injustice in those powers, through a court, or anyother instrumentality, to compel any man to payfor tho life-time services of a negro, when thesesame powers, State and Federal, civil and military,would terribly punish him if bo dared to claimthose services.We think General Sickles, in suspending all suits
for negro dobts, hos shown a wise forecast, andthat bis proceedings in this regard will be fullyvindicated hereafter by every department of gov -
ern mont, both State and Federal. Contrae ti forslaves, unperformed, must perish with slaveryitself. This we venture to assert, notwithstandingthe opinions of a number of good lawvor» and res¬
pectable jurists to tho contrary. We know we
havo many of the same sort to sustain our opinion.

to tho 17th :
Thc Loddon Times of tho 17th of August has alengthy editorial on the subject of Germanconsolidation under Prussia, in which the writer«aya :There is no doubt but Prussia baa, in some in¬
stances, used her advantage with unnecessaryharshness. In her dealiug with her sister Statesshe has often been as improvident as she wae in¬consistent and unfair. Tho policy which sparedBavaria was hardly justified in sacrificing Hano¬ver. A movement, also, for which nationality af¬forded the original j. retoxt, should have been car¬ried on with greater regard to national principios.Thcra was unnecessary harshness in Count Bis¬marck's dealing with tho Polish deputies fromPosen ; and in his conduct toward Denmarkwith respect to tho Danish districts of NorthSchleswig ho was guilty not only of a breach offaith, but also of a flagrant outrage against Euro¬pean opinion. A more generous as* well as amore efficient means for Prussia to rally all Ger¬many round ber standard would be the promotionof such sound, liberal institutions as mirfbt befitone of tho most advanced, no loss than mostorderly, of European races.Tho'German papers say that the King of Prussia
