Defeat of the Force Bill. it will be r? matter of congrntnl; tion to all true friends of publi Jiberty in the country that th Force bill, to suspend the writ c Jubcas corpus i:i the Souther States, and to secure their electc ral vote for the Republican cand -date for the next President, aftc passing the House of Represent!" tives by a btrge majority, failed t pass the Senate owing to lack c time. The bill passed the llous at midnight on Saturday, and wn nn until Monday in th v"-? -1 Senate, and as the rules of tin body require for the passage of an bill three readings cn diflercr days, the Republican leaders sa' that it was useless to attempt t fcrce the passage of the bill befoi the adjournment of Congress o Thursday. The Democrats of tl Senate had organized the plan of campaign to be waged with detc mined pertinacity against the pa saije of the bill, had selected Sen,' C* */ tor Bayard as their leader, and ha resolved to leave no weapon < party strategy untried to dofei the odious measure. Their persi luirne frood fruit, and tl Democrat?, both of the Senate an IIousc, deserve the thanks of tl country for their timely efforts i behalf of public liberty. The final vote on the passage < the bi!l in the House was 135 1 114,and iti.s a noticeable that amoj] its supporters are some one hui .dred Republicans who were defea ed at the late elections, and wb have been remanded by the popi lar voice to the shades of prival life.

The whole administration infl encc was steadily and persistent exerted in behalf of the bill, and will be a matter of profound regr to President Grant that the antic pated grant of power has bee withheld.

As a i-1 specimen of sarcastic humor it can3' not be easily rivaled. Thre are sr many ofHcials in our State who are i(j justly amenable to the same critili i r.isin a* Inmost John. mid who have ^[iio otbfjAqualificatiou for office "? than tbjWhey are clever fellows, wliiist'Wher^ lack even that quality;* ' Nobody knows anything about John Bruce, but thiit is. a matter j of ho importance. John is not ,,f kuqrivn as lawyer. It is doubtful) to whether lie ever looked into Black-1 y stone; but no matter, the negroes at Montgomery have nominated him. anil that is sufficient, [c.j We have. n$ special objection 5 to John Bruce, barrjng^ th.e inimuJ terial fact that he is ndt qualified for the place; otherwise he is a d vpry clever man. Although he associates pretty much with negroes, he wears clean . clothes, and with t, iho atfl'Of a fine^otb comb conld manage to jret .jilong-very-iweH notjf withstanding bis questionable assos\ ciates. He Js not a profoond mini. Instead- of shooting off his logic like a Colt's revolver, ho reminds ? the hearer of one of those pepper-box pistols, till the chambers of africh are liable to go off akonce. JohnittCJpqservative jn Hifi?iews. When a biltfja^p wbi^'iooks towaids punishing' liog thieves, he doesn't fly all to pieces like Coou and take it as a personal insult, mi/vi.f n-\v* tti,? rtonfirfll Assero 11V llll^lib c^lt v i?iv bly a disquisition on hogs, showing the value of bacon from a military standpoint. He might even illust. trate the subject by; analysing the swine that were possessed by devils. But he wouldn't get mad about it e and call the ayes and noes all night, >f and assert that President Grant n would see to it that the liberty of >. the colored race shall be protected. In fact John is a pretty clever fellow. They call him General Bruce r because he was a captaiu in the l* Federal army. They put him on o the Judiciary Committee because >f he knows no law; and his party e puts him up to speak because he can bore all day without striking ls> oil. If John will come down to e Mobile and associate with gentleit men for a few months ana rend v law under some of our leading It j lawyers, he will do very well upon the bench. At any rote, he is far better mau than Parsons and 0 White, and is-- an angel of light 'e compared to Busteed. Brnce is n said to be a kind hearted gcntlelC man. Perhaps it is fortunate that Alabama can get him as District a Judge. r- & s" The Situation from a Republican a* Standpoint id jf Hapcrs Weekly, one of the leaflet ing Republican journals, urges that s. the only hope of the party con!e sists iu the repudiation of Genicj eral Grant, and the nomination in "IOT?! nf II nnn/lirinfa trim ulinll 1"?P |Q 1QIU VI WMiiUIUMVV I* 14 V i? wholly free from any complicity in the policy which lias aliented 3f the sympathy and support of the t0 country. The renomination of Grunt, it urges, would dissolve the i- party, as the country would prefer t_ to take the risks of his defeat l0 than of his election. This is an adj. vunced position for a leading Be e publican journal to take, when we ]. consider what that journal rega'rds jr as the consequences of Democratit ic ascendency?the ascendency of tlie so-called rebel element, the re5t vival of the spirit of the slave n owner, hostility to the negro, hosr tility to the common school syslt! tern, extrcmepnotog-^g|UB ? Vy' ic. Yet all these consequences u. it would be* willing to risk rather \y thau have General Grant, with all it the dangers of military rule, for a et third term. If such be the feeling ;j. of Republicans, we may hope (U earnestly for the nomination of the L-e "third term" candidate as 'furnish,+ ing a well grounded hope of a )n Democratic triumph. The ascens. dancy of those priuciples which (o Republicans journals fear as the Jin cousequence of a Democratic vic]j tory, we regard as the only guarauPSj tee of the preservation of constitute tional liberty. Hf*? Civil Rights Bill 'ie This bill about which there has b* been so much discussion, having c" passed both Houses of Congress, lias become a law by the signature )' of the President; and, according tc the statement ot Northern journals, 18 theatre managers, hotel proprie 'ie tors and keepers\>f restaurants are considerably exercised as to theii action in premises. In a late North to Carolina case, it has been decided not to apply "to bar-rooms, and from a communication of a colored u~ writer in the Augusta Chronicle ana ie Sentinel, it appeara that there the st blqcks appear to have no desire tc ^ attempt tof invade the hotels and Jtheatres, and desire only equal ?* rights in the jury box, and in publie. conveyances. In South Carolina, where a more comprehensive ? -1 ^--1 LA refl.cn^..eiuu^u i?v Cougrrees has been for some time U ^ on the statute book, there has nt been no trouble with the blacks in 'ie hotels, and we suppose that there ^" will be r.oue. In the railroad ears ,e the}- have enjoyed here the same r privileges as the whites and have ^ ar\ o ntwln'fip.d themselves as to trive ^ OV. ^ no oftence' ' The law of Congress ^ has been so emasculated by the omission of the public school and cemetery claftses, that it will likelj or prove very harmless in its opera3r. tion. Ill Virginia we see .that c |0. bill has been introduced to punusL ve those creatiiig a disturbance on the of refusal of .{landlords to entertain of tbeiu, and making other provisions ur of a like character to avoid the oplie eration of the ,law, VVe believe da the best course m to submit to the n law, and, as in South Carolina, all c- its anticipated evil consequence* will prove imaginary. ??t ?sJ As the ?season is approaching lit we urge the planting of corn.

On Monday lo#t the Audi- ( tor, according to advertisement, < offered various tracts of land for i j sale for taxes. At the call of Mr. I ! Leroy J. Wilson, the auctioneer, 1 I nnitc a unmber assembled In front 1 of the Court IIou?e with the idea ' that u whole plantation might ,tie 1 obtained for a mere pittance." The | bidding was spirited, and half1 dozen were eager to get land, and thus "become partners vtfth ' Ilim who rules the univera*.'^ So eager were the purchaser^-'' and the bidding so brisk, that little ' lots of land awny off in th.e north- 1 least corner of a huge gnlly or a [huge swamp, sold at prices that as- i tonished the former owners. The largest and cheapest tract disposed 1 of contained forty-six acres and 1 brought about ?110. The next larg--* 9ttr%a fn*AiifM fUnnA n/?HAn 4 j tiBt Utltb *> ?o tnuiibjriUlbo uvi uo V* old fields .adjoining tho lands of Mrs. Bass and Dr. Mabry, which brought about. $86.63, besides 1 about $11 00 additional cost to get 1 titles. Wo all know the quality ot the sand out in that section, and believe that that tract sold well. 1 Carter waj^a to sell a few acres more at the same price for the cash, with which to run his farm this year. Ten acres somewhere ud in or near Anderson brought $12.00, with the cost of titles added. Eighteen acres down in Bordeaux township, with no access for man or beast, brought $15.00 and. cost of titles. The frogs, turtles, &c., may yet scuffle for the right of pos- session to some of these lands. Various purchases were made of small corners of poor plantations at full prices. Another year if this excited condition of speculators continue, many land owners would do better to hold off and allow some of their poor land to go into the hands of land purchasers. Upon the whole, the delinquent tax-payers ot this county have nothing to regret at the prices realized for their land. A CHILD LOST AND FOUND. An Exciting Search. One of the most exciting events of the past week was the loss and recovery of the infant son of Mr. * r? n i A ^ 12 iL. A. r. uaiverr, wno uvea 111 me neighborhood of tbc Buzzard Roost in our county. At 5 o'clock on Monday evening, the 1st inst., the little fellow, named Jesse Leonard and aged two years, left home, as it "afterwards appeared, in pursuit of au older brother who had gone to a neighbor'6, and missing the road become lost in the woods. lie was 6oon missed, and the neighbors for miles around joined iu pursuit. Night came on and the rain tell in torrents, but the search was kept up unremittingly in the darkness untH the day dawned, and yet without success. Ahont nix o'clock the next morn iug oue of the party heard a cry in answer to his call, and following up the sound found the little fellow sitting on a.rail in the woods, about one and a half miles from home, drenched to* the skin, and with a few scratches, but otherwise sound in body and limb. As may be im-j aginea iDC're wab grunt rcjuiting over the recovery, ot the little wan5 ^jM4|fflMHiMpibusiusm of suc-{ CC88 was proportioned,!? the intense anxiety which characterized the searclh Betwoen seventy-five and nnn lintwlrarl nomiMia Vinil imnf-fl the searching party, m*d foremost among theeo yere^ Votli mother and father. We cxt<pid our sincere, congratulations to the fortunate parents. Mr, Ualveit i? one of our best citizens and deserves success in whatever he undertakes. '. ' > Trinity Church.?In the absence of a rector,services have been kept up by lay reading, and the occasional ministrations of a neighboring pastor. At'tho last meeting of the convocation, the monthly] services of minister were promised 1 and we hope in the future to be thus remembered in our destitu' tion.

Arkansas Affairs. , The House, lu the evening session of March 2d, closed the debate ">ti the Arkansas question and proceeded to a vote. The substitute Dffered by "Ward, of Illinois, declaring Joseph Brooks Governor, was rejected?year, 80 j nays, 353?and the resolution of the special committee that no interference with the present State Government is advisable ou the part of any department of the United States Government was adopted by 149 to 80. Thus has the Ilolise made some atonement for the passage of the Force bill, and administered a merited rebuke to President Grant. The President,- it will be recollected, sent in a special message stating that the present State Government is a usurpation, and that Joseph Brooks waB the legal Governor, and also intimated that, in the case t)f non-action by Congress, he would interfere and put Brooks into possession. I'he action of the [louse, two-thirds of whom are Republicans, sustains the Poland report, and takes from the President ull pretext for interference. The action ot Congress on the Poland resolution has been the occasion of general rejoicing in the State, aud among all who are interested in its prosperity, as evidenced by the following paragraphs : Little JiocK, March 3.?There wag; very geueral rejoicing here aud elsewhere throughout the State last night and to-day over the ac tioii of Congress 011 the roiana res olutions. Salutes were fired ai Pine Bluff and other points. A joint resolution passed both House: to-daj thanking those, members o Congress who voted for the Polani report and pledging the govern raent to see that equal and exaci justice is done to all men. Louisville, March 3.?The fol lowing was telegraphed to -Judg< Peland, Washington, to-day: "Th< undersigned, wholesale merchant! of Louisville, who have close busi nesa relations with the citizens o * ? fn /iTKinisas, uemie uu ui?ua juh your successful efforts in behalf o quiet aud good government in tha State." Signed by 57 firms, repre seuting all classes of business. A large, amount of merchandisi has been waiting here, ordered bj Arkansas merchants on conditio! that Congress would not interfer* with the present State government Had the action of Congress 01 Tuesday been different, none o these orders would have beei filled. 1 ? Tiie Beeciier Trial still drag its slow length along, and the pro ceedings have become a bore t< the daily journals, who are force* to publish full reports. The evi dence for the plaintiff' already forms a bulky volume, and that fo the defence will likely be as volu minous. The opening speech fo the defence was made by Genera Tracy, which is thus characterize by the correspondent of the A'ac and Courier: T*'a irtnnnli hn? lliulntlllt'odl 1""'; ??i , made an impression, and turnei the current somewhat in favor o Beecher.

Anyhow, whatever th lawyers thiuk of him, the populu opinion is that he has made ai adroit and powerful defense of hi client. He will come out of th< case a greater man, in public esti mation, than he went in.
