AmOCJ'TE KMTOK. j A hill has been introduced into Congress providing the -evt-rr?t penalties aguinst any candidate tor Congress , who "treats" either before or alter; election. This is a step in the direction of economy and retrenchment that wili be bitterly denounced as a piece i <;t unadulterated meanness and de-; pravity by the "boys."' Russia.*s disgraceful persecution of the Jews has evoked a mammoth mass meeting in London, at which such men as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Cardinal Manning and Canon Farrar ' were present, wliiie letters were rend 7 \ from Tennyson, Spurgeon and many other notables. It is gratifying to j learn thai the Czar has determined to become tolerant, and has given orders ; to revoke some of the most oppressive decrees airain?t the Hebrew race.i i llnssia chastised Turkev severe!v for, ?g-cA.'vT _ her barbarous persecutions, and now deserves e^ual chastisement for persisting in a course which, according t<>; the resolutions parsed at the London , meeting, "tent's to degrade ties* in \r.< eyes of Christians." Thk Co;.?mis>ioHcr of Pensions ro ports to Coii^t-ess that if all the pension claims of the late w;;r he pa>-efi l?v 18&>. and after that the claim* for i he Mexican war be allowed. the gross * sum required to pay them viil amount io ?1.3-17,Go1.593 by tlie year I'JOil, of: which $ "> 1 >00 will be for Mexican Avar claims. The annual expenditures decrease froui .$G3,000,000 a year t<> $23,000,000. This is more than a! billion of dollars, and as it is notorious j that pensioners never die. the census! wimmisiimioi- lii; in f?H ' under-estimated the actual expendii tires. If this money went direct to ? deseiving pensioners all would be well. ?but the charge is made that most of it will be thrown away on frauds and I pension agents. Ji*d?e Cox has sentenced Guiteau to j be hanged on the 30th of June next. When asked what he had lo say, the condemned man spoke as follows: '*1 am not guilty of the charges set forth in the indictment. It was God's | act, not mine, and God will take care 1 of it. and don't let the American people forget it. He will take care of it. ?nd eve>*y officer of this Government, from the Executive down to that Marshal, taking in every man on that jury and everv member of this bench, will pay for ic: and the American Nation j will roll in blood if ray body goes into the ground and 1 am hung. Tlx? Jews put the despised Gallilean into the grave. For a time they triumphed, J but at the destruction of Jerusalem, j forty years afterward. God Almighty j got even with them. I am not afraid ; of them. Iam here as God's man. j 3vi!l me to-morrow, if you want. Iam j < iod's man, and I have been from the i fctart/' After the sentence was passed he re-1 peated the above remarks with some variations. Scoville is willing to ' sell j Hiuitean's body to an embahner for ex-1 hibition, on ihe ground that body j snatchers would get it anyhow, and it might as well be made safe at once. Guiteau says he will give his body to science when he dies, but that will be j a long way oft'. IJe says he will be all j right when he gets to the Supreme i Court. ^ ^ ? Contingent funds are notorious I vehicles for questionable expenditures, i nhd the contingent fund of the House | of Representatives at "Washington is | no exception. The clerk's official re-1 port gives a list of "newspapers" pur- j chased for the use of members. Among j these are found such names as the following: Little Buttercup, Little Tot, Pretty j Peggy. Fine Grey Girls, Lass o' Lowrie, Chatterbox, Wonder Eyes, Alice in Wonderland, Lucille, Jack and Jill, Boys of 76, Young Mariners. Drifting Round the World, Bodley Afloat, Wide Awake, Under the Lilacs, Under the Window, Ups and Downs. Afternoon Tea, Odd and Even, Which Wins, We Are Seven. Paul and Virginia, Swiss Family Robinson, Royal Road. Robinson Crusoe, Thaddeus of Warsaw, King Arthur, Lord Bacon, Charles James Fox, Arabian lights, Endvtnion, Zigzag Journey; Home, Sweet Home; Cookery Book, JEsop's Fables itnd Errors of Speech. Then comes the following choice melange: Three Bibles, two Testaments, one cribbage board, one pair of razors, one vrhiriigig, one fan, one parchesa, three jx>ems, four garlands, two dozen fruit knives, one dolphin charm, one Worcester's speller, one Leatherstocking Tales, two graphiscopes, one and a dozen illuminated bees, one odor case, t wo sets of <rems, one nest of trays, four dozen japanned pincushions, one tobacco box, sixteen games, four opera glasses, one exchange on opera glass and two Johnson's Poets. Some imagination is required to classify the Bible as a newspaper, j though its teachings light be news to j bouie^iiigtited Solon, and its pur- < ^-?-tfliase under any name should be en- { coaraired. The snellinor book and! ' Errors in Speech" are likewise highly commendable. But a whirligig, illuminated bugs, fruit knives and the dolphin charm might well be spared.: -Up sand Downs" was evidently pur- j cha?ed for Godlove Orth. "We Are ; Seven" far the Greenbackers.

T!:o two houses have at last agreed as to tlae details of the Railroad bill, about v? hich there has been so much discussion. The Hopse changed the i>iii in several particulars, the most important ol wnieh are the reduction of the the number of commissioners from three to one, and liberalizing the section in reference to consolidation of railway companies. The original bill was very strict in tiiis matter and ended to prevent this consolidation rind absorption, but the House took a dili'erent view and made it a simple matter. After the reception of the conference committee's report. Senator Smythe entered a protest la behalf of Senator (jaillard ami himself. Thev hud served on the commission without bias. and had aided in a careful preparation of the bill. As now amended it is entirely different from what they conceived it should be. "The unlimited right to consolidate and guarantee arc condemned by the soundest thinkers on this subject." Senator Smvthe then wont on to deplore the unhealthy railroad fever that has seized the State; and by virtue oi wnicn towns ana counties are incurring burdens of debt that in the end will bring embarrassment if not disaster. There is much force in these words. Railroads are admirable institutions; and, up to a certain point, they vastly improve the country through which they pass. But so soon as they are multiplied loo greatly, and thus tail to become paying investments, they entail disaster on the communities that have invested in them. Railroad building produced the panic of 1873. Millions on billions of dollars were withdrawn from active circulation and expended in the Northern Pacific and other un {'I UilV/.l. iX? 14"* Hii?3 tal was consuming, flash limes were enjoyed. But when it had all been invested, and 110 returns by way of dividends came back to the ?tockho!ders, and when bondholders clamored for interest, a sudden revulsion ensued. The property wa? sacrificed at a nominal value, and all railroad stocks depreciated while some became worthless. The whole financial structure went like a card house. The recent boom has started railroad building again, and even our own btate is wild on the subject. Prices are inflated owing to the competition of rival lines to secure new outlets or connections. While this lasts all is well. But at no time are we safe from danger. It is not wise to build too many roads; and towns and counties should not recklessly burden themselves with debt. During the 3nsh times preceding 1S73 towns and counties out West invested heavily in railroads, and they have suffered greatly. Missouri especially was much embarrassed, and a general effort was made by counties to repudiate their liabilities on technical grounds, but the Supreme Court of the United States held them to their bonds, and they still gro*n. "While we have no desire to discourage internal improvements, we deem it a duty to emphasize Senator Smythe's warning, and to urge the people of the State to hasten slowly, lest their profits of the past few years be swept away by over speculation. TT/vnr W nriro ?iav n * AVVVW4VU vv v?> Professor Perry, of Williams College, shows that the present duty of thirty-five cents on cotton ties causes the planters to pay over seven hundred thousand dollars extra for baling their cottoo; while the proposed increase to seventy per cent, would make the burden exceed fourteen hundred thousand dollars every year. Again, he shows that the tariff 011 steel amounts to six dollars on every bar of railroad iron, or over three thousand dollars per mile of single track, to pay for which freights and passenger fares must be proportionate! v increased. It has also been shown that alpaca, costing seven and one-eighth cents per yard in England, pays a duty of five cents and is sold here at twenty cents a yard. This is a burden on the poor. On cashmere, which costs 2Gcents in England, the duty i? cents, and the price in America is i>o cents. The English lady while the American pays $5.50, of which $1.85 is in the way of duty, or one-third of the entire cost. Congress also imposes a duty of thirty-five per cent, on every shirt, sheet, napkin and spool of thread which is used. A suit of clothes for a gentleman which costs $15 in London, reaches $30 in Xew York, and a $20 blue suit in England is a 840 suit in New York. So in Loudon the most fashionable tailor makes to order best black doeskin pants for $7.20, vests for $2.40 and KIqaI* nf fiiind h in uiaviv v vuic vi v?v vumviviii hi London, silk lined, for $19.36, while a good beaver cloth overcoat, with silk velvet collar, can be purchased for from 812 to $15. Mr. Burchard, a Republican Congressman, said in a speech some years ago that, according to the Chief of the Boreau of Statistics, the average duties on textile manufactures, earthenware. metals and provisions, are as follows; On cotton goods, 53 per cent.; eariiwuwmv, j;n a'itu, ijcni]?, jun*, and flax groods, 31 percent.; metals'! 29 percent.: provision?, 32 per cent.: ! -u^ars, -io per ccut.; silk and silk j ;>!'r emit.; wools am! woolij;11 |.?t cent.

[ Hepubiieaus won the election on the tariff i?tie, and it was confidently asserted that "free trade" was forever buried. Yet. like ail tlic other traditional doctrines of the Democracy, it has come up this year more defiant than ever. The reduction of the tarill' is a question of time; but it is bound to come gradually.

Levin yo-- : lerday afternoon were made with the j sole purpose, he admitted, of beinir sent to jail. "What his ultimate design I is. in thus endeavoring to place him- \ sell in the custody of the law is entire- j iy a matter of conjecture. Senators generally, as well as mem- j bers of the Mouse, and people general- j iy, have manifested a strong desire to j have the "broil" amioablv adjusted, j Gen.

So the matter stands. A genuine', sensation prevailed all dav yesterday, j and all sorts of rumors were flying ot" i contemplated murderous conflicts, but i fortunately none of ihoin were true, i Senator Smythe will give bond in any j sum required, if it again becomes nee-; essary. Should Mr. Fishburne be re- i leased to-day. it will be after some sat- ' ivf-crm-v jirrMinrp.nio.iif lt:is bepn made I or assurance given that he will not attempt to harm Mr. Smythc. The ofiicers of the law, as well as others, are determined to prevent a collision, it. is not doubted that a light would result seriously. Mr. Fishburne is desperate and determined, and Mr. iMiiythe while trying to avoid an unnecessary combat will defend himself if attacked. Senator Fishburne is still confined in Richland jail comfortably cared for. His course is generally regarded as a political investment.. He said to Sheriff Ito wan yesterday: "This is a big boom for my third party movement." His second arrest yesterday was made at his own request. He was offered a release to-day, the terms being his own word that he would keep the r?eac?. but he positively- declined. This confirms the opinion that he wants* to I be regarded as a political martyr, how- j ever fallacious that idea may be considering the fact that there is nothing in the whole affair that will sustain the plea or even resemble political persecution. Later.?Mr. Fishburne gave bond and was released late this afternoon, in the sum of two thousand dollars, Dr. Bissel, of Collstou, becoming- bin surety. A. M. II. Another Encounter. Columbia, S. C., February 3.?A pugilistic conflict between LieutenantGovernor Kennedy und Senator Fishburne occurred on the adjournment of [ the Senate to-day. Senator Fishburne j had spoken long arid loud in favor of j his anti-Stock Law bill. His motion ! to make it the special order for to-1 morrow was voted down. He seemed to become angry and resorted to all sorts of dilatory motions, and rising to points of order without being able to state one. President Kennedy was forced to rap him to silence. When the Senate adjourned Mr. Fishburne approached Gen. Kennedy as he came uown from the chair and accused him of ruling unfairly against him. Gen. Kennedy replied: "Oh no, 1 didn't; you impose 011 my goodness." Fishburne retorted angrily, and called Gen. Kennedy a *'d?d liar." Gen. Kennedy answered the insult with a powerful blow with his fist, knocking Fishburne across a desk. Senators separated them, and prevented further blows for the time being. As General Kennedy was passing out of the State House yard, Mr. Fishburne ran to him from behind, endeavoring to attack him with a stick, but was prevented by several gentlemen present At tine nninf Fishhnme cursed Kennedy with the foulest language. I The crowd passed on, and Fishburne j overtook Gen. Kennedy v.*lum near | Stork's restaurant, on Main street, and j made a desperate blow at him with a j heavv walking stick. General Kcnne- ; dv avoided the blow and rgain wilh a ! tremendous stroke knocked Fishburne j down, this time taking hold of him.! lie was "using him up" roughly when j friends puil :d them apart. General Kennedy and party continued to the ' Columbia Hotel. While General Kcn- i nedv was at dinner Fishburne entered j the rotunda of the hotel with a huge stick and took a seat in waiting. Mr. Low ranee, the proprietor, sent for Sheriff Rowan who came and arrested Fishburne. He was taken before Justice Marshall, and his bondsmen, Uis- j sell and Jenkins, then delivered him j up. Fishburnc?s bail was denied by ! Justice Marshall, and Fishburne, who : is now in custody of the her iff, will j endeavor to obtain a release under a I writ of habeas corpus before Chief! Justice Simpson, The case will probably ho heard to- i nijrht. There is talk amongst Senators ! of steps being: takon looking to Fish- i burue's impeachment. It is so near I tlic end of the session that this will probably not be done. Popular sentiment here sustains: General Kenned.' in what i>e did. A. M. H. ' From the News and Courier. Columbia.

In their anomalous positions towards temperance 1 am often reminded of Gniteau's j'.iryniau who was "not a Mason, nor ex- j aetly a church member." They are "not opposed to tempera nee" they say. but then, as far as their utterances go, they arc nor opposed to intemperance either. "They are waiting in the trough of the sea, ready to mount the coming1 wave." Let me assure them, | that will be the "temperance" wave, and we know what we say. The lion. Theodore Frelinghnysen said in the eapitol at Washington:] "The influence of woman is the great cssentiai to the triumph of anv great aiui good cause, a'.id if that influence which God lias so graciously given her should he exerted in favor of the temperance reformation its triumph would be certain and complete.'' She is ex- j erting her influence all over the land. | and the doom of the dreadful traffic j which invades every domestic hearth, i pervades every social circle, knows no i truce, listens to no appeal for quarter,; people' the graveyards and recruits: the armies of eternity with lost souls, i is doomed, forever doomed!

We are too busy to take the time to tell what we are doing. To those who have been "waiting until public opinion made temperance work respect*-1 ble" we would say that in England i temperance meeting* arc presided over j bv liie vicc-chancellor. and the Oxford ! professors are the speakers. Fourteen j thousand clergymen of the Church ot! England signed I tie temperance petition. In our own country at the National Capitol, a few weeks ago, nearly three hundred Indies of wealth, intelligence and social position assembled to hold a temperance convention: wives of senators and governors were among the delegates. North Carolina and Georgia bo:h have their governor's wives as State presidents. Senators were granted leave of absence from committees toj visit aud address the convention. And ih;i President of the United States himself postponed imjwrtant business and received the ladies, not. as' the liquor dealers tried to report, "among decanters and dirty tumblers," but just as a Presiden t of the United States should have done?in a state parlor, fragrant with flowers, which he graciously selected from to present. The delegates weie the invited guests in the most eleganthomns in Washington. I had the great good fortue to be entertaiued in the home of Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, who with his wife were so devoted to the Southern representatives that we presented her with a bouquet of Southern flowers. The acknowledgment of them is so characteristic of tihe lovely woman who made it, that I want the women of the State to hear it: ' Mrs. Chapiu and Ladies of the Southern States: 1 arn deeply touched bv this gift of flowers, because of the kindliness which I know prompted the bestowal. No one could appreciate tue gracious sentiment or tnese roses more than I do. They stand for affection. Let them be for a sign between thee and me, and between thy people and my people. "The love of woman, it is said, has always been a great factor in affairs civil as well as religious, and between us, whose swords have severed and wounded, it is eminently -fitting that this strong compelling force should unite and heal. Come to our Northern homes, ladies, and see us, and what you did for our Miss Wiliard we will do for you. "Not knowing us, you may suppose that we are cold and uncongenial, but you will find that in the crevices of our rough ledges the harebells grows, and all along our highways bloom tne forget-me-nots." One intellectual and {scholarly old gentleman caine up to me and said: If the2sor:h and South had left the peace-making to the women it would have been accomplished long ago. They know what they are doing and exchange flowers and gentle words. The men got to drinking together (for it really seems that's the only way they have of entertaining one another), and it takes us six months to court-martial them and apologize for what they have said and done after they get home.

Then arose a I most annaling yell of terror and agony. "It was heartrending. I never heard ! anything like it. Before it died there came the final crash that caused the death and mutilation, and piled the wreckage up against the root' of the tunnel. Just before the first collision we were talking about the Manchester accident. I said that such an accident as that was impossible here, as the underground whs worked on the block system?no train allowed to leave a station till the one preceding it had arrived at the next station. My comrade said they worked on the block system at Manchester for the road was blocked for several hours. .Tsist as he said this the crash came." Horrible Outrage at Greer's.?

Captain Greer received a teiegrum from the station on Friday night requesting him to arrest a white tramp with brown clothes, white hat, red hair and whiskers, and about five feet ten inches tall.
