He takes the ground that cinder tho Constitution, the question of what is tho legal government in. ^Louisiana is a political and not a judicial one?and that its determina"tion rested with Congress, and in case bf its non action with' tho President' and not with the Federal Qourt. I'hc Buprcmo Court of the United States has so decided, and Judge Durell, VlVtti VAV/(/VUVU UI9 JU* twviivviwM] flrtieu bo declared in favor of the Kel}?SS government. His decision was nugatory and imposed no obligation ?o tlio president to eafetain it.

Sonator Carpenter has introduced liis bill ordering a new election, and Ifas thought that present indications 'fa^or^ts passago. On this subject the *Charleston J)Tcws and Courier writes : f "Senator Carpenter's vigorous denunciation of tho flagrant frauds of, ihe iLeMOgg'goVcrhmebt in Louisiana Svas undoubtedly eJtttfrte'd from him <by an inexorable nocessity. " What ho Hid ho did well, and his conduct a Uepublican isin marked contrast with' that of Sonator Morton, who is, through thick and thin, thcunscrupu 'iUUS UUlUUUUl ui iuv/ i aovmuj ui x/uHorroa and their partners in wrong doing. Three general views Obtain in regard to tho status of ^Louisiana. The Kellogg party maintain that their candidates received a "inajority of the votes cast, and were 'deprived of the fruit* of their victory i>y the supple toofo of the Louisiana 'Radicals.' Senator Carpenter holds that there is no legal government at *011 in Louisiana; and proposes that a -new election be held under the direc iion of the Federal authorities. Exf GtfV. Hebert, however, is flatly opposed to the holding ot such an election, as a regular Stale election will take .-plvce in November; It appears to us that this objection 'carries with it ?rory Jittleibfee. If the new election -!jo held under regulations prescribed fry the Kellogg Legislature, and- Jjo Conducted bp thdir officers, the defeat of the Conservatives-and the triumph -of the King is .certain?-- There is undoubtedly good reason fcft avoiding the holding of two elections within ?ix or nine months of each other, but :the election ordered' by Congress could, as well as not, be for tl)(j onex''pired terra of the officials whose place would be filled in November; and! for a full term thereafter/' This would give the State, by a fair election, aome snrcease, and would not expose the people to the expense end danger ,of a'secOnd election." m .

The most important Legislative measure of the 'past week was the bill to extend the time for Ihe payment of taxes which was approved by ' the Governor, and is a law. The time has been extended to the 7th of March in all the counties. A good deal of discussion arose on the resolution to impeach Judge Carpenter, 011 account 6f having discharged a jury which was ignorant and incompetent. * A two-thirds vote of the whole of the members was necessary to pass it, and, as the vote" stood ?fty-six to thirty-one, the resolution was lost. Tie general appropriation .bill was ' reported froth the committee of ways and means. The 1 Ynvvnnt f ' QllflfM fll QTt luuu ^ipai t |i viu cuv propriations ajready made) is a little over a million dollars. *Tbe billto.incorporate Long Cane Manufacturing Company, and the till to regulate the pay of members of.the General Assembly, passed their third reading. The bill to relieve L. H. Russell, late Treasurer of Abbeville, and bis bondsmen, after fiQp\e discussion, passed the Senate by a close vote, and is now a law. A resolution has been introduced in the House by Crittenden to limit the annual cost of the public +/-v OHO tVi/i /^ontrnr>t lilting tv; I'VUjVUVj wuv vv^> VI v?v? being let out to the lowest bidder. In the House, J?r. Cain offered a joint resolution to'authorize and empower the County Commissioners of Abbekifre 'to issue certificates of indebtedness for payment of the past due indebtedness of said Count}'. It is thought that the session will not close before the 1st March. Secretary Cardezo on the Bills Payable. Treasurer Cardoro sent in to the General Assembly, on Saturday, a communication which states that according to records in the Treasurer's office, there remained iD January, 1873, a balanco of outstanding bills payable of $193,724.96. In the same month, a committee, authorized by I prknonrrnnfc rAnnliitinn to register out standing legislative pay certificates and bills payable, reported that they registered 8260,506.85 of bills payable?being $68,231 more than was recorded in the Treasurer's office. On the 5th inst., a portion of thjs excess, in the shape of a.bil/ payable ?or $25,O0,Q, was presented for payment at the Treasury by tho President of the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company. It was neither lettered nor numbered, and thero is no reccipl which shows that legislative certificates were given in exchango for it. The Treasurer asserts that he cannot find any evidence on his records to show that tho State over received any consideration for it. IIo, therefore, very properly raises tho question, whether it is a valid claim, and refers the point to bo furthor determined and acted upon by the General Assembly. The legislature has authorized the payment of the claims of the South PftM/vilnn D.i rvl? A tt/I 'I'mi O f fAmtMl nt* JLKliltV iliiu Xiuot V>UUI^?UIJ , but the Treasurer doubts whether this be a valid claim. In the meantime he has attached the funds of ihe State, in the Bank. The Senate appointed on the special coramittec to investigate Ihese troubP# . j? _ < i ... les and report: Messrs. Is ash, Dunn and Gaillard, and the House, Messrs. Hurley, N. B. Myers, Spears, Cartor and Holmes. + A Sacrilegious Act.?Ono of the worst cases of petty meanness and sacrilegious outrage was committed during tho past week in the robbing of tho corner-stone of tho Baptist /->* ? /? .1 i '? m* t i Uhurcii oi tnis place. ?no acea was done at night?a fit timo for the consummation of such an act. The bricks above the stone wero knocked out, and the marble slab which served as a cap-stone was removed, and the fow coins?amounting in value to some four or fivo dollars?wero stolen. The Bible and bottle containing the documents which wero deposited wero left untouched. Tbo man who could commit such a deed would seem to bo wanting in every human instinct, "to be moved by the instiga(inn r>P <Ka Dawil " "to hft f>f i VIVI4 V4 WUV V ? | ~ social affection, &Dd fatally bent on mischief"?terms which the law uses to describe the worst class of offenders. 4i Agassis on Darwinism.?The January number of the Atlantic Monthly has an excellent articlo from the pen of the distinguished ^gassir, which inflicts eomb heavy blo\v? upon the new development or evolution theory of Darwin. The learhed writer shows that Darwin's views aro entirely theoretical, and have no sound basis eitjjer in the received facts pei'taining to existing organisms, or in the records of past geological eras. Professor Agasslz Was one of the lights of modern science in the department of natural history, and henco the greater weight is to be attached to his' opinions. The article to Vhibh'' We Vefelr was the first of a sejrjap of articles oh the same subject, and wo trust that the untimely death of tho distinguished scientist will not interfere with the continuance of tho articles. Edwin Booth, the well known actor, has gone into voluntary bankruptcy. ! The Rational (jxranae.-Charleston was unanimously selected by the couton States delegates for the k next place of meeting. On motion j Charleston was chosen amid great l applause. Brother Taylor, in the r name of South Caroliua, and all * States of the South, returned 1 'thanks for the unanimous vote, J t f ? < and assured the members that $o . efforts would be spared by the crt- ] izens of'ftharlestou'to -make their visit to that city pleasant, and $e ! session of .the grange agreeable.

Pope, teachers of the Greenwood Malo Academy, appealiug to the public patronage. They are ge?tleraen of experience and scholarly attainments, and will doubtless build up a popular and flourishing institution, and maintain the past reputation of Greenwood. They have already been rewarded with gratifying success, and have a school numbering somo fifty pupils. Greenwood, in its healthy location, cheap boarding, and agreoa* blc society, is well fitted to De the location of a literary institute, and with two such excellent institutions as the $Iale Academj' of Duckctt & Pope and the Female Academy of 1 W. 1?.

Low cash priccs have been the secret of our friends' success. They sell low and turns their money over often. ' Give them a call and judge for yourselves. ? ^ + A Nkw Daily in Columbia.?The Columbia Daily Union has made its appearance under tho editorial control of L. Cass Carpenter, Esq. Though strongly partisan, the former ! naDer was edited with ability, and its| ; f, successor will doubtless preserve its leading characteristics. Maj. E. W.

This assertion leeds no argument t<? pw.ve 'jit. The >xperience of our best planters haw 'ully,verified it, and tho testimony of )uriuo8t successful cotton grower, 'specially during the past few years, las abundantly established the fact hat reliable manures are as essential .0 profitable culture as tho seed itself Vom whieh tho crop is grown. This fact being admitted, the ques,ion what manure is best adapted for ,he use of the farmer? recurs ?ach jeasop with peculiar force. In this jonncction we may say that our ex* Derienco justifies us in the assertion, -hat YVhann's PhosphaLo stands almost without a rival in all sections of jountry with which wo aro familiar. Wo began the sale of this article in 1869,?and since then the demand for t has incrcasi d in a ratio entirely beyond our expectations. Wherever it has been fairly tested it has cstablisbjd itself in the confidence of the (nest succcssful farmers and one of the most positive arguments to prove its reliability and value is the fact that parties who once use it continuo to prefer it to all other fertilizer.?,? We have hundreds of certificates from the best planters in the country, attesting the merits of Whann's. Wo know it to be honestly prepared, and that its proportions are mingled with the most conscientious caro and scientific skill. Wo havo personally made repeated visits to the extensive works wherf it is manufactured, and have assured ourselves in various ways of the entire reliability and high character of the Phosphate. On Cotton, Wbann's Phosphate exerts a most decidod influence. Id most cases it carries tho plant successfully through drought, makes more bells, ripens the plant earlier, besides greatly improving the quality or ine siapie. un corn us euuui? arc equally marked, indeed oo this important crop its results have been really wonderful, frequently more than doubling tho yield besides adding greatly to the quality ot the grain. No fertilizer has ov?r oxceodcd Whann's fur corn, while on other cereals and garden vegetables.it has produced remarkable fcffects.
