SENATE.-The J udieinty Com tn it tee rep-irted a bill regarding appeal-?, removing limitation in cases arising in rebellious States, and ex tending the time one year from the passage gi the act. Mr. Williams mored to take up Mr. Stevens' bill. Mr. Sumner hoped the Louisiana bill would take tlc precedence. Mr. Wade favored both ; he was indifferent as to which came hrat. Mr. Stevens! bill was read. Mr. 'Williams withdrew his amendment, fearing it would endanger the bill. Hs hoped to reach a vote to-morrow night. Mr. Johnson offered Mr. Williams' amend ment. It is known as Blaine's amendment. Mr. Stewart regretted that Mr. Williams had changed bis mind ; he would'ut vote fer it unless amended ; be did not cure if be stood alone ; he would vote for no bill leaving no escape for tie people of the* South. Mr. Wilson moT'd to amend Mr. Blaine's amendmeut, by giving equal rit-hts to profus sion?, schools, ?fcc. of all classes. Mr. Wilson favored the bill a3 it came from tho House, but if amended, desired this addi tion. He regarded the battle for impartial suffrage ts fought and won. Mr. Howard objected, because tho amend ment acknowledged the validity of -State gov ernments. At four thirty, Mr. Williams moved a recess till seven o'clock, when be expected the Sen h'-c to sit until it passed tbe bill. HofSE-Cousidered a number of private frills. The Bounty bill was resumed. lu? pro vision? esdud?-jjriaoners who joined lbs Fed? ral army. The course of argument arraigned the West against New England. Considerable bitter ness was exhibited. The Bankrupt bill was taken up. ? vote to table the Senate amendment waa lost Oo to C5. A movement io favor of Blaine's amend ment, making the adoption of the Constitu tional Amendment with universal suffrage appended a finality, gains ground. Several Republican Senators will help the Democrats r?<ht the bill toa u pocket veto," unless the a-nendme>;t is added which will take it back to the House. There is really some hope that the bill will g? over. As th? criais ap proaches Senators are becoming serious over che responsibilities of fathering th? bills. The Herald's Washington special -say?-: : Th? Southern loyalist.* are getting ahy of Elliot** bill. They ?ave apprehensions of ne gro Governors and Legislators. Captain Olney, of the steamer Washington Irving, bas beeu arrested on the requ:?ition bf Governor Pie-pont. He is charged with taking th? vessel to sea while under au at tachment for debt. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. SENATE.-On Mr. Blaine's amendment, many amendment;, were offered. The point on which tbe Republicans split, is the Con f .derate vote. All favor the Black vote, but some seem to abhor the id?a of disfranchising whites, and placing thft States at the mercy of the blacks. Others are determined todn franchi*e Confederate* as a punishment ; oth ers because they fear their influence and vote? as dangerous to the country. Several mo tion* to adjourn were negatived. Proposi tions to vote at twelve to night wera rejected, and the Home finally adjourned without a vote er uuderstarding. In the course of de bate, Mr. Doolittle '?id the South would not accept universal suffrage, bot would prefer sniikary rule. Mr. Wilson responded, make them accept it. The Republican Senators held a caucus thia, morning, mt. Wilson introduced a bill declaring the amendment ratified and a, patt of the Con stitution.

Orr, At the anniversary banquet ol' the Charles ton Chamber ol Commerce, on the evening of the 13th, Gov. Orr, one of the invited gueats, responded most happily to a compli ment {laid bim, and io closing hid response, rave bi? views on certaiu political mattera as j follows : Our political relations are of a very grave character. I have recen-tly been in a position where I bad an opportumty of consulting with many who control the Government. I say to you ir. alt frankness, that it is difficult to tell what our political position in thc fu ture is -to bc. Gentlemen from the Southern States, and particularly those iron? North Carolina, front Alabama, Mississippi, Ar kansas and Texas, were of opinion that some scheme that conni be suggested, might be the means at least of securing the support cf the cms>-rvati*e pori ?on of the Radical party. Hence the scheme which you have seen pre sented. It was not supposed that it would meet thc favor of the eit -emist?, but would meet the views of the m ire moderate men. in their personal relations I fad it my duty to ?av they received me kindly, heated mc courteously, aud manifested every disposition to hive then a perfect v*d complete settle ment. But some of these gentlemen when next they went into the halls of Congress wodid indulge in speeches of the meat vio lent character. My own judgment ia, if-the Lfpwlitture of i^orth Caro!tua adopts the pro-, gramme with any degree of unanimity, if Ar kansas adopts this amendment, and if the other gouthcrn States adopt it, or manifest a disposition to adopt it, it will produce the best results upon thc spirit of a considerable portion of the liad i eal party, and save the South from many of the proposed Radical measures. 1 know a great many of oar peo ple ?re in favor of folding their arms. They say, ''we are in the power of tal? people, let them do a? they please." I du not believe in any such doct-riue. I am not one ot' the '* dig nity" sort. I have believed in our doing something for ourselves. I have belieTed in indicating to this people that there is no sul lenness at least ou the part of the people of the South, that we were prepared to ?ive Ciem all honorable guarantees to secure their rights in the Government, and when we did so, *e at least challenged the respect of the honest portion of that party. I have bent myself for two long years to (.rodu.ee that result. Whether it will follow I do not know. Thc great solicitude I have in this matter is thc good of the State. In taking the p<?ition ? occupy, it was to serre to the beat of my bumble abilities, the peo ple ol South Candida ; aud I intend to con tinue to serve them. And notwithstanding the growl of grumblers, I shall not be swayed from the performance of my duty upon that line. If it accotnpl abes the result* hoped for, I shall be fully compensated for any sacrifices hit may have been made. It it fails, I shall feel that any re'ponsibility for the farther hu miliation and further oppres-ion of South Car .>!ina does not lie at my door. Tn>: EDUCATION or . va Cai rr LED SO? . DIKES.-There is no theme worthier of the consideration of our law-makers aud the pub lic generally than that which concerns the . mental welfare of our noble young men who, in the cause of State and country, have suf fered from the mutilation of their bodies, and are destitute of the means whereby they may go forth in the world aud find compensation for the loss of limbs in the employment of cal.ivated abilities. How many of these there ara we know not ; but whether there be o"C or .'ive hundred, thc solemn duty devolves upon oar Legislature to provide for their edu cation. Many of them volunteered from the schools when the path of htudy lind been ?scarcely entered; many possess natural tai etits weich require only the refining process of a university course toillustrate the bright est pages of our history ; many are ambitious, but. alas, too poor. Yet, who will deny that all these deserve the fostering care of the State? Who will claim that a just recom pense to the gallant young men whose badge of honor id their empty sleeve or wooden leg, should not be meted out to them in the shape of an education that shall fit them for tkt broadest arena of intellectual influence? Our University is large, but there ia u am ple room and vergo enough," within its walls for # tho maimed soldier-students of South Carolina. An accession of young men can only add to its eclat. The expen*e of in struction weuld scarcely te increased. The Professors, one and all, with a public spirit in keeping with the boon bestowed, wojld cheer fully assume tho fresh responsibilities that might bc entailed. The prosperity of the In-dituliort would be assured. There would go forth from its portals our future ministers, lawyers, physicians and engineers, adding w-alth-to our knowledge and honor to the Suits.-Col. Carolinian. -? * Houicins.-We are painted to record an event yesterday afternoon which seat another hu nan life to its long account. According to the statements made, it appears that a Mr. John C. Pe Yaun, who'is engagwd iu the construction of ft portion of the Columbia and Hamburg Railroad in this city, discov ering Mr. Charles Bennett in an endeavor tu employ the negroes already a', work, ordered bim away ; whereupon an angry altercation ensued, during which, Bennet; threatened to whip Mr. De Yaun, and made certain demon strations. Thc result was a pistol shot through the breast of Bennett, and his almost imme diate death on thc spot. Until a Coroner's inquest is held, and the full particulars are officially made known, we deem it unwise to enter into further details. Mr. DeVaun promptly delivered himself to thu authorities. Since the above was put in type, we learn that a jury was etnpannelled by Coroner Walker, and an inquest held on the body of the deceased, when the following verdict ww rendered : " That Charles E. Bennett came to. his -.katu by a ball wilfully fired fr* m a pistol lu the hands of John A. De Yaun."-South Car olinian 13th, A DAMNO OUTRACK.-We learn that on Thursday, 31st ultimo, two men went to the bouse of Mr. Jesse French, who lives in the lower part of thia District, about 23 miles from the Court House, and with a drawn pis tol at his head, demanded his mules, which were then in harness attached to a wagon. The two then Caused Mr- French and his wife to seat themselves in chairs, when one .of them went to the wagon and commenced unhitch ing the mules, while the other remained an a guard over their two victims. After the mobs were unhitched, and the villains ready lo move off with their booty, to which they had added a small amount of greenbacks ta J ken from Mrs French, something was said by Mrs French in regard to their taking the mules, v.'hen they caused Mr. and Mrs. French to sign two notes, payable to one of them, for four and three hu idred dollars respective ly. They thea left the premises without tak ing thc mules. We trust that some measures will bo resorted to for visiting summary pun i.ofitnent upon the perpatrators of this and K:miiar outrages.-Greenville Mountaineer T.k.

It ie difficult to tay which ono o' tho man ?eburnos uf reconstruction proponed during tl tea'ion of the present Coo greis, wi 1 finally at ?un tho form of an Act, and become ultimately tl law of the land; or rather the law of tho Soull om Staten. For.somo time past, tho original Bi s-fiered by Mr. Thaddeus Stevena of Pennsylv: nia, the great h e.id. of tho extreme Radical par!; rand-the tyrant of the House of II? presen t>> ti vo has been considerably obscured by the numerot amendmonti offered thereto, and by the par'b raeniary tactics resorted to in order to cushion for the present term. u The latest Congressional despatches, howeve inform the country that Mr. Stevens is himsc ag?ita-redicitui in Mv-and exulting, in his ni culierly infernal manner, Over tho jmminont sui i ?ess of his eberirbed measure; that measure i inimical to tho rights and liberties of the Soul! Indeed we are assured that tho Stevens prc gramme, modified rory little, if st all, will b shortly thrust upon tho so-callod " Disloyi States.*- . This Bill, as we understand it, is simply as fo lows. The Southern States Are to be formed ?ni different military Departments, each Departme: to be governed and directed by an Officer of tb United States Army not nnder the rank of Brigi dier General. North and South Carolina are t form ono of these Department?, with Gen. Sics los, in all probability, as its military Commando The writ of Habeas Corpus is to be suspended ; an only sneb civil Courts and proceedings are to b tolerated as the Department Commander u.s direct. Tho Bill though simple in its details, i profoundly revolutionary, and totally subrsrsiv of constitutional G overnment. It proposes in r< ality, though not in terms, to place the Goren ment of oar States entirely bejond the ranche the President; and this without eren ?npeachin him. For it is very evident that Gen. Grant wi bo the direct Commander of his subordinate oft eers who aro to be placed at the head of the differ ont Military Departments of the South ; just s in tho Koman provinces tbs? Pro-consuls were ac eonntsb'.o to the Imporator who resided at Rom -with this remarkable and significant difTerenc that tho poliey of Rom? was to allow the loci laws to remain still of force in her conquere provinces, whilst thone of the political foes of th South are to enforced within her borders. If the President does not willingly, or rathe quietly, submit to this innovation upon his pri roga'ire, he will be forced to do to ; for it is not apparent that the Army ii at the bidding of th Radical party. What would it avail fur the Pm i dent, as Commander-in-Chief, to call upon th ' Army to sustain him, when ho well knows tha ?ueh a call would ba utterly futile-vox rtpraett ria nihil t The South, if disposed to m ?.intuir, the Conitl tution, is utterly powerless, being possessed c neither men nor money.

In behalf of ? Inrge and respec table portion of the State if Alabama, whore roiee is ever heard ringing clear ?nd distinct from her mountain fastnesses, wboaerer an iovasion ol her cheri ?h ed and saerod rights ?re imperilled, I beg to sngge?t that the people and the limes demand a young, vigorous hand at the helm of State. Away with fogies and political hacks; aud in this con nection, and on behalf nf e host of personal friends and political admirers, I mention the name of one who fills the Jeffersonian test, for he is honest, he is capuhle. His record is without a blemish, ever conservative, tho characteristic of strong, practical judgment, he ls as true b the people of Alabama, as tbe-needle to the pola He is a young man iu the full enjoyment of his intel lectual vigor, which, combined with his nerve and practical judgment, qualifies him for success fully grappling any question of political science. I place ou the roll for position the namo of tho Hon. John R. Tompkins, of Mebile. Tho welfare of our people would, with an tar nest vigilance, be guarded in his bands. Indefat igable and laborious, as Chairman of the Com mittee on Corporations iu the House, be has fur nished ample evidence of his great ability in the discussions, and momentum given to lending mias ures meeting his approval; and should he he the choice of tho many who ara anxiously loekingfer one to guido tho ship of State, over waves iud breakers embedded beneath a treacherous political sea, tho hope ol' our people wi 1 not be disappointed by a misguided confidence.

The honored name's of many distinguished citixens have already been presoutecl for'thc favo rable consideration of our people, either of Whim would well and wisely guido the helm of Stair, oven in these times of trouble. Yet, without making invidious distinctions among Alabama's gifted and honorod sons who may aspiro to this high position, it is believed that one distinguished name is pre-eminently entitled to ho placed con spicuously before tho public in connection with the office of Chief Executive-tho name of tho Hon. J. R. Tompkjn', of Mobile-a gentleman of high literary and legal attainments, of command ing and cultivated talents, and ol distinguished executive ability, whose social and moral worth, shining qualitios and rising fame areonly equaled by his retiring modes***, polite urbanity and manly magnanimity.

EDITOR:-In 1865,-that eventful year-it was my good fortune not to bc in debt a sin^K: dollar. And this is meutiuned ? uly to shew that I am disinterested in what I nm about to write respecting the indebtedness of thc country. Be-, lieviag, however, that the com." herein r*com mondr.d, will be beneficial to a Hrge majority of tho people, I cannot say that I nu tntirely disin terested, for the individual good depends upon tho general prosperity. Selfithnett clodes all the arenuea to happiness, nnd often nvor-lrnps itsel! by destroying the sources of that wealth which it so mu?E covets. At the risk of being considered egotistical, I will ?Iso state that I have sued nobody, although quits a number of my old not?s and accounts arc-til! unpaid, lu tbw particular, at loast, I practice what I preach. It is a notorious fact, and one to be greatly re gretted, that our Legislature, at its last session-, failed to do any thing towa-ds ri-leiring their constituents from thc pecuniary embarrassment? aup?T ir.Juced by the disasters of War, and of-a partial famine. It may be urged that Constitu tions, and the deei/ion of our Judges, interposed an insurmountable birricr to ?ny further action in the premises. But it soems that Georgia, nnd ' North Carolina bare not been deterred from- ac ting the part of kind mothar* towards their un furtuate ehildrsn. When it wm announcsd, lust bil, that the sueing business was put liff till Spring Court, every one felt. that K r*y of light had penetrated the gloom of dc:pair,-that an undefined dread had been removed from the mind lias anybody been injured by t!ii? little breathing spell ? Did President Johnson, or ?ny one else ??i Authority, say t# our Legislators that the'Cuirt of Common Pisas in South Carolin? should not he loager suspended? If no such thing hal hap pened, and if (he experiment of a temporary clo sure of our branch of lb? Lawyers' vocation, hits acted like a ?harm upon the lacerated budy poli lio, wby not, in the uame of all that is n ise aud hu mane, give us a still further respite? 7Vs?s*il what we want; nothing but time will cure the urila under which we labor. We scorn tho idea ef repudiation. But in view of the unparalleled distress, which bath invaded every houae hold, we say " add not trouble to the grief-worn heart." We must resort to palliatives,-we must atay the hand of oppreseion. It can be done, and let the people rise in lb? majesty of thoir power, and aay, it thull be done! Let thc heartless miser study the character of Shylock thravghoul, and take warning io time. " The letter of the Law killeth, but Its spirit giveth life." You shall do nothing, forsooth, to impair tho obligation of j contracts. Well, let every one procted forthwith to sus, and follow this to its legitimate conclusion, ind it would-impair the obligation of contracts in the South, more loan all the Stay Laws that .ver were enacted. Without the ability to pay, an obligation ii nothing. I cannot see how any maa can rsc?neile it to his coniciencs to demand spe?ie for debt! con tracted before or during the w.?r, even where tho eontidtration it unehavgtd anti unchangeable. Let ns deal with each other iq the spirit of compro miso, and moderation, and all will yet be well wiih us and ours. But, Mr. Editor, I must stop. This crude article is submitted in the hope that it may lead to something tangible and efficient, something that will be conducive to tho best inter ests of all ?artie?.
