This virtually relera the whole matter to the people. There was considerable excitement on tie steps fronting the Capitol-to-day. Mr. Rous se-tu, who hud ti rattan, approachfid Afr.

Senator Morgan presented the memorial oi the New Y.<rk Chamben f Commerce, ir C vor ot bankrupt law, and expi es.-ed himself ii: favor o? the bill, and hop..d it would bu re p ried at an early day from ?he Judiciary Committee.

Ile said he would vote against their representation here. Duti:ig ibis extraordinaryspeech, Mr. liar ris said that though the Confederate standard had lur-n lowered, the standard of Southern pride was ns high as ever. Ha Paid the fact that their soil covered the bones of three hunored thousand of their invaders was uoi calculated to lower their tone. He al$o s?.i?l that Johnsen wa3 illegslly President, because he was a citizen of a lorolgn State. He like wise denounced the military trial and execu tion of Mrs. Surratt. The speech created a great sensation, as well it night, on ace :unt of its bobines?. VVASHIXGTON, June 15.-The Senate Fi nance Committee have fixed the tax on cot .t n at two cents per pound; probably the two H jtifes will compromise on three cents.

"WASHINGTON, Jane IC. The Senate waa not in session. Nothing of interest in the Hmse but unimportant pc Utica!, speeches. War Prospects in Europe. From the Paris correspoudeut ol Columbia Carolinian dated 2od May, wc extract as f J?OW8 : Notwithstanding thc leading powers of Eu ro i? cmtemplate sending representatives to pu; their respective limbs under diplomatic ma'iogor.y, rtnd repaint the map ot Europe, iLe probability is that the now much vexed question will not be settled without an ex change of *hots. No confidence is to be plac ed in thc diplomatic intcntious-of either Italy or Prussia. If the war has-not broken out b?fore, it is because neither Bismark nor Vic tor Emanuel ure ready, and all pretence of agreement or coneilation is out' a ruse de f/ucrre to gain time. Such provinces as Dal matia and thc Tyrol are only come atable in thc month of June at thc soonest. The arrival of Mr. Layard from London yesterday bringing with him the acceptance of the British Foreign Office ol tho program me of the Congress, is a wbif of peace. It appears that Russia has accepted the propo sal, and Prussia, Aunlria and Itally will not dare to refuse the-invitations to send repre sentatives. There will therefore be a pow wow, in which a strong attempt v.,ii be made to stave ott' tbs thunders of the Whitworth*, Arm strong* and Minies, but no peace is possible unless Austria yields Venetia ; and tuo>e who know the obstinacy of tho House of II ps burg indulge ia little hops? of such a conces sion. Tho fighting furore of the Italiana ls im mense. Garibaldi called for twenty thousand volunteers, and more than sixty thousand of fered. Iudced tbe Government itaelf can sc?tcely stop the ardor of young Italy, and an attempt to this end would doubtless provoke a revolutiou at home. The sympathy tor their Venetian brethren bound in Austrian fetters is toostrong to be quenched by compromise. " On to Venetia" is tho popular cry. Viva il lie, "Long live thc King" " Garibal di and italy" are to be heard in Florence and through tbe Peninsula ou every breeze. Thus far the Government has not deciioed to accept th:s army of patriotic volunteers. Nor is there less enthusiasm among the German States ol Franz Joseph. But cveu wero this matter settled, those who are behind the scenes assert that there will be a new difficulty in determining tho Oriental question which has again appeared on the horizon. The elect of the peoph of the Moldo Wailachian provinces, Charles of Hohenzollern, has gone in person to ?uehar * e3t, notwithstanding the protestations of the Powers which signed the Convention of 1S58. The young Prussian Prince wa*- received with eathugiasm, and Turkey urged un by Russia, has entered the arena of the coming struggle. It is more than likely that this new compli cation-will he diifjenlt to unravel and the Memorial Diplomatique'* may have been j quite right in calling n:teiilion to thc sighijl cmt attitude of Russia on the barti;3 of thc I Danube, anti In prophesying that thc ?irst] cannon shot, would wake the Quent ion d' (fri- j cut from its uneasy slumber. ,rt is believed here that fighting will com mence in less than twenty days, arid that Austria or Prussia will strike the first blow. Rp that ns il may, Itaiy with her army of half a" mil lion aiready i the field, thoroughly equipped, will if necessary, precipitate tho strife and encounter thc Austrian Eagles cin gle handed. The position of Napoleon is ft study. J/ke an eagle! iu bis eyre, he sjts brooding, but watching with eye acute, every movement of th? game around him. His great jincle would probably have been foremost in thc stri/e, an active particip?t ; but the nephew has becomo an arbiter not more feared than fearless.

TILLSON ANO CAPT, ?{?VANT.-An Ai gusta correspondent of the-C harleston Couru wtites as follows : The second ".natter agitating ihe commun ty grows out ul'the old imbroglio in referent to I hu decoration of tho graves ol' the Feder; dead in the Augusta Cemetery, by the black in April last, lt is-?aid tb?.i*at ?n erdnrtair ment given Generals Stead; ian ami Fulla tm some days siuce, General Tillson, formci ly chief official of the Freedmen's Bureau i Georgia, and now military commandant, di el? red in tho course of a speech then delivei ed, i hat J. R. Bryant, a gp?at light arnon thc negroes here, had asked him (Tillson) o the occasion ol ihe cemetery disturbance t furnish bayonets wherewith to force a wa through the city police, who kept out thc rub ble from the gravevard. This *fc*te??iMi ?ru T'Tinu ornery nrto-trafflci-uig.'e-c-' wirfr i? blacks, have, it is further reporied, been si distasteful to Bryant as to lead him to indi: General T?son a noto of belligerent import setting forth his grievances, and dcraafcditi redress, on penalty of beinc publishea as ; calumniator and slanderer. To this, it is reported, the General respon ded by declaring he would publish Bryanl i: turn, were such a thing done and so thc mat ter hangs. Bryant's letter seems to have con rained a proposal for a sort of arbitratioi b?j.rd-either pr.rty to choose a fricud, North eru mun or nigger-which two were to selec a third, the three to consider the truth o falsily of charges alleged. Mr. B. also make prcll'er of his books, etc., and if the matte proceeds it will be of refreshing iute-rcst. BAD ron TUE FINNEGANS.-$fce followin; is Ihe Canadian law under which the eaptut ed Peuiiius will probably be tried by the Ca micks. It is the first ?cc?on, chap. 9S,of th< consolidated statutes of Upper Canada: First : In case any person, bei 'g a citizei or subject of any foreign Stut' e>r country al peace with Her Majesty, be )r coutiuues ir arras against Her Majesty within Upper Can ada, or commits any act of hostility therein or enters Upper Canada withelesign or intent to levy war against Her Majesty, or to com mit au/ felony therein, for which any person would, by the laws of Upper Canada, be lia ble to BU?fi.T death, then the Governor maj order tho assembling of a militia general court martial for the Iri?l of such person, agreeably to the Militia Law, and upon be ing found guilty bj' such court martial of of fending agaiuft this act, such oerson shall be sentenced by such court martial to su Her death, or such other punishmi nt as shall be nwr.rded by thc court. WlCFALL'S ESCAPE.-Severed of the mem bers pa%sed themselves as paroled soldiers, and were transported ur such without detec t-on, on government steamers, to points near their homes. Of these were Mr. Perkins and Mr. Wigfall. The latter, in a disguira that precluded ali suspicion, eutercd freely into conversation with the soldiers ol' the guard ; and in the course e?f the Conversation asked what tb-fy would do with old Wijfall if they wore to catch him. " Ob, wo would bang him, certain," was the reply. " And you would serve him right," replied Wigfall. "If I should be with you I have no doubt I should be pulling al the end of Ou rope myself" Double entendre was not suspect-id, and its wit was therefore: loat, but is worth producing now. -Richmond Enquirer. PnoniECY DY THE POPE.-Th3 Pope uttered a double prophecy. At a ceremony held in the chapel of Palazzo Massimo, in commem oration of a miracle which, acco-dingto a Ro man legend, was performed by St. Philip, who raised from the: dead .a youth of the family of Massimo, a select party was present, chiefly belonging to the high clerical or legitimist noblesse. His Holiness rando a brief speech in an inspired and prophetic.tone, and spoke of the fut ure, says the reporterons if from thc impression of second sight. He said that the present year would be one ol I ri a m ph and ol brilliant.victery over the enemies of the temporal power. " I shall," l e -remarked, " behold the triumph, and. in 18G8, I shall render np my soul to Qod." This- singular prophecy is said to haye produce-d a powerful effect on the audience, some of whom were moved to tears. A New Yorker of the nama of Campbell has just given to the world some queer reve lations concerning the testimony lately adduc ed by thc Judiciary Committee of the House tending to implicate Mr. Davis in the assas sination plot. He shows that a gross system of frauds and perjury has been resorted to prove Mr. Davis and others couspirators in the matter, and backs up his assertions by facts that startle all who arofami'iar with the testimony. It seems that many of the wit nesses testified under assumed name's, and that no Fuch persons ns the ostensible and recorded witnesses exist. In addison to thu, he states that when Mr. Connor;;, who wai the principal aitaftfiS. or detective in tho oa'se, was asked to proceed to New York and pro cure some corroborating evidence of his own statements, which ho had previo:?aly volun-j teered* to furnish,-that he gave the officer who was sent with him the: slip in New York ; has. actu illy run away, as is supposed, to avoid a prosecution for prejury, and has not been beard from by the officer or Comniittae for several weeks. Other witnesses have come 'forward and confessed to having sworn falsely. Tf? E A D V E R T7S?R~ JAMES T. BACON, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 180.G. Severity of thc Weather.

The friends of this gontleman, until tho last few years a citizen of this Districr,.will regret to luirnof his death under tho following circum stances. Tho Charleston Courier of tho Ililli, says: On thc 20th of May, last, a difficulty occurred at Williston, S. C., on tho Augusta branch of tho South Carolina railroad, betwoen Mr. Stephon G.

Officers Farrell nnd Cotos, in whoso hand tho matter wui placed, unrested him last Saturday ovouiug, and and bc has heon committed to jail to stand his trUL" Freedman's Organs Suspended. It is Btated that the publication of thc Augusta Loyal Georgian bas been suspended by military authority, and the Charleston <Sotif/t Carolina Lender has fallen into tho hnnds of the Sheriff. Th ? earcor of these candidates for popular fuvor wm rather brief. Is thc "Bureaw" Needed? Tho Constitutional!*!, of Wednesday last, says: " Thc notorious J. E.

It Joes not ..unfold to tho world quite such a bud JJ? t of infamy as did tho Report upon Virginia and Kurth Cand?na; but nevertheless its cata ligue of crimes and potty meannesses is enough to intensify ?ur disgust for tho Freodme'n's Bureau, and our contempt of most of its agents.

Of all tboso three officers, of their administration, of Freedmen's affairs, aud of their efficial course and conduct-generally, thw late Report speaks it bi?h terms. ^ But upon sundry " Sub-Assistant Commissioners," "Bureau Missionaries," "Bu reau Superintendents of Marriage Relations," "Bureau Counsellors," "Bureau Superintendent? of Education," "Bureau Printers," "Bureau Sur geons," "Bureau Rental Agents" and "Bureau Storekeepers," is visited withering condemnation. Justlnoditate upon tho above list of harpies ! Isn't itaprotty roll? Carrion crows and vumpires! And to think that wc must quietly t lernte ic our midst snch men and such doings. Verily when we meditate upon th"i3 Freedmen's Bureau, to say nothing of other radical enormities, we cannot look upoiTour present condition as one of peace ; it seems to us rather tho dead calm of chains and slavery. Genis. Steedman and Fullarton unmask so much lying, stealing, and knavery in general, on the part of tko a'.ovo mentioned "Subs" and " Assistants," that it would be a hopaless task ic: us to enter Into tho details.

' The m??a'of the pcnplo havo *doubtloi<8 bee stunned by thia decision of thc Appeal Ccur Thc Stay La? had been re-cnacled by thc Legi; hil ure KO often, it had been acquiesced in so bm: and so unanimously by Ibo peuple, that it wa generally taken for granted, tho Legislature coul enact or repeal it at discretion according to th exigencies of the timos. But any one wbo ha Opportunity to ascertain the opinion* of o"ur pres oise. Judges has not been takon by. surprise. 13? foro thc adjournment of the last session of tb Legftlaturo, it was notorious among those wh took tho pains to infirm tbeinsclvos, ?hat th Stay Law would bo overthrown at tho first or, portunity prcsontiug itsplf to tho pr?tent Judichi ry of the Statoi .Whcthor a Stay Law enacted by a State is o is not constitutional has been a vexed questio from the foundation of Ibo Government of th United Statos. In somo of the States such a lat hns been, dcclarod constitutional, while in other it has been hold unconstitutional. In still otbc States such n law hns at ono timo buen held con Stitutional and at other - limes unconstitutional according to the varying opinions of Judges wi constituted tho Courts. In most of those State* where the doctrine of State sovereignty prevailed in tho North as will as in tho South, tho tenden cy of tho decision? has been that State Stay Law aro constitutional ; but in tuch .Stales ar h av long h-.-ea tainted with Federalism and Consolida tionuli.-m, the tendency of the decidions has beci .that such laws arf unconstitutional. In th,e,icnrlicr and porer days of the Rcpubli the Supreme Court of thc -United Slates itsel ilocid?d and uttered dicta that State Stay Law are cou-titutioti"?l, but with the progross of con iwHdation, that Supremo Court also progressed ii thc opinion that such laws aro nuconatitutional Sinco the disastrous rojult .of tho late war ha demonstrated that'thc GovernmcnLof thc Unltei States iii a consolidated jGoveVrimefitp-'oven Sont! Carolina and Mississippi, the" very " Bowers" b State Rights havo said am?n ! and reversed th whole tenor of tho decisions fiilbor'to announce! by tho Courts of those States! So that from ta extreme of-StaCc Sovereignty, our Judges seen disposed to bound at a leap to thc extremo o consolidation. I attack not thc motives of tho August Tribunal .'but it doc3 seem that a decent regard for thc pas ought to have made tho Judges of the Palmotti State at least stand upon tho old ground so a's ti compel tho Judiciary Department of the Unitci Stitts Government to perfect the work of consol! dation by spilling upon the State Legislatures as thc Legislative and Executive Departments o that Government, have been doirig. of late years, The Scnato of Venice,, in conformity with th< behests of >'apo!eon,'dccreed that * the Itcpublii no longer exists." . The-Judiciary of South Caro lina should never have acted an equally ignobli part in abdicating tho reserved rights of th! States ; especially at so early a day after tho wai and under a condition of circumstance? in tin country, which' will inuke their decision work al most as much ruin among tho landed estates, a; emancipation has'wrought among the slave cs^ tates, of the people. It may be said that as tho right of appeal ex ists from a Stato Court to the Court? of the United Slate? in all ca?ca where thc amount, involved ex ceeds $500, that if the StHtc'Courts had not de creed our S tr. y Law unconstitutional, the United Statos Courts would have done it for them, anti that in any event thc evil to tho peoplo would hare been the same. But such an assortion would be altogether gratuitous. Our people havo never well known they havo refortcd to those Courts less than tho poople of any other State in the Union. They hnvo in nearly every litigation been content to abide by tho decisions of their own trrhunal?. Litigation in tho Fedoral Courts is very expensive; fur more so, than in the Siajc Courts. The former aro Autant from most plain-" tiffs and witnesses, as thoy aro held at but two points in tho State. Again, as no suit, even ly appeal, for a less sum than $500 could bo carried into a Federal Court as thc act of Congross now stands, new laws would havo to bc passed by Con gross, and tho very organization of thc Federal Courts would have almost to bo recast so as to give efficient, corrcurrout, original jurisdiction in causes between citizens of the same State. But few coujatry Attorneys practice in the Federal Courts of South Carolina, and most clients, espe cially Farmers, wish to know tho lawyers thoy employ personally ; and generally they prefer'to retain their local lawyors. True those Attorneys ;ould easily bc admitted to practice in the Fed- j aral Courts, but it would take time1 for the Law yers, Judges and Con'gross to do all those things, ind time ls the one thing needful for debtors. | Moreover, public opinion would have deterred most men from suing in Ih6 Federal^burts if it tvero known that-tho State Courts had held the Stay Law to be constitutional. Ii* over thcro were a timo and ocension when >oth principles ?nd authorities should havo been tretched to subserve tho public good, to alleviate i public calamity, to promoto the public peace, norah'ty, industry and prosperity, that time and .ccasion should have been to EU?tain tho Stay jnw, and lighten tho burden of private iudebted tess as far as possible, until our new system of abor could have been organized into something ike an institution, and until the ?un of liberty, r civil law at least, could have risen onco more ipon our long benighted and down-trodden land. The position may safely bo taken that tho peo de of South Carolina owe moro private debts to ay than tho entire land of tho State would bring rt opon market under tho Sheriff's: hammer. Tue 'ankcos destroyed at least tbreo-fourths of thc roalth of the Stato by thoir devastation?, and by be abolition of Slavery; and now it appears as ! tho Judges of tho State propose to destroy the tber fourth by putting np at auction all that is ?ft,-to wit, the land,-to bc sacrificed at a song i 3 home Shyloeks and Yankee purchasers for i Ireenbacks ; and moat of the small proceeds to ? o paid over to Attorneys and officers for costs. ? ho vultures of the law will indeed havo a long, i ad rich carnival to satisfy their wolfish appe- < tes, and although the feast may be flavored with L ic tears of ruine^widows and orphans, yet the c ligh sounding maxim is at banu to bo glib!}' r noted in answor to prayers for indulgence,-" Let ? mtico be done though the Heavens fall."

It may ho contended that many debtors were wasting their substance instead of paying their dobts;-granted. But many others, and a large majority of the debtor class, were not doiug so; but were energetically, hopefully and honestly addressing themselves to the task of working out their debts. As matters now stand, the welfare of three hundred thou?and agriculturists and ar tizan* is tb'ho sacrificed' for the benefit of a few hundred Attorneys, Mcrcbauti and Money lenders. Tho legal and mercantile chisses have long, been clamoring for the overthrow of tho Stay Law, becauso as long as thal; law-continued of force, the occupation of tho Bur wasgono. Money londers'and merchants having thoir capital lockod up in crodits, desired to havo those-credits col lected, and thc Bar sighod fur tho opportunity to' be paid for collecting them. It waa with groat idifficulty that any Stay Law was enacted at the last session the General Assambly. Tho main cause was that there are more lawyers, merchants and non-producers in. thc precut General Asscm. bly than perhaps ever met before in Columbia as the Representatives of tho ?acoplo; for which state of things tho people may thank thoir own apathy, and tho anxiety of certain men to get into a position which would enable them tc re vive thc prosperity of thoir individual occupation, whether it subserved tho public good or not. It may bo that tho strong parry in th? Legislature' who wero opposed to enacting any Shy Law whatever lastwintcf, deludod tit* Judgos with the idea that tho peoplo want and ticed no' Stay Law, and that tho Bench could pronounce the death warrant 0/ the.prosperity of the State for? yea? to come, in ?ccordanco with .tap public opinion ns reflected by tho people's m is representatives. In thus annulling the-Stay Law, '.ho Ear have but ruled the State, r.s they haye ?vcr ruled it for good or evil. Having always been the.controll ing politicians of the State they firjt taught thc people the principles of Secession which convert ed tho other States of tho South,-lcd to tho war -to emancipation-to pecuniary ruin ; and now that Bar age punishing their ton devoted convert? for tho folly Of docility. They aro "cdurting in famous immortality, by unveiling themselves like: the pro'phet of Kbrassan, with this darning difference, that he was a conscious impostor from the first, while they were perhrpa sincere, until their doctrines were put down hythe sword. The interpretation and construction of tho Constitu tion is determined by common law rules, and hence our present Common or Judgo-made-law on the-subject of staying Executions is to vi&late the golden rulo of the greatest ,;ood to the great est uumber; ajad a law is roado to punish thc honest majority of debtors as well os the few dishonost ones. The exception, not the rufe, in the conduct of men is to govern. Reformed ?in ners generally become pemcuting saints, and us most of our Judges are but rt cent converts to consolidation, it is to be feared that they iutend by their zeal in tho canso of the new faith, to atone for tho errors of-their past lives in thc sorvieo of State Bights.

If yea, ar*,tbcy Ea innocent 0:' human nature and history as pot to know that tho more you yield to a radical thc more bc rec aires ?

Tho Radicals at the North may keep quiet about miiisfiing traitors at the South, since, whether " mr people bavo committed troason or not, their jwn Judges will inflict punishment enough, by innulling the Stay Law "in the cradle of the rebellion," to gratify eycry fiend except THAU STETEXS, who to use his own words, as reported in tho newspapers, would "confine every man at tho South by bayonets in- tho Penitentiary of Hell."

But the cx?s?ng.

Still our lately converted co?s?ltdati?nists had botter pause before they drive the people to mad ness, clso the pauperised, sovreigns may, oat of revenge, or in tho hope of bo?cring their condi tion, elect a majority of tho next Legislature pledged to destroy those who hove destroyed them.

Although the present organization of the ?Dourta ?viii remain intact, at all events until after tho next general election, yet it is obvious* that a Bankrupt law will be pissed to administer upon lebtors estates,.as the . lawyora.are to be the Ad ministrators. A Eankrupt law differs from tho ?>rc8ent insolvent dcbtor's.and'priflon bounds laws jf ' tbe State .in."several .important.particulars. Under a Bmkrupt act, thc debtor caa compel oil iiis creditors to accept bis effects and absolve him 'rom any further obligation to perform "his con Tacts, whereas under , the other two classes of aws none hut the finny creditor..U JO compelled, ind he only by the suspension of his remedies at aw, not hy tho destruction of.the contract itsrlf. [Jndcr.tbc insolvent and prison bounds laws, tho lebfor is altogether pantile-tho creditor- is the mly active party. Tho latter can lie in wait like L wild beast, watching his prey, and can pounco rpon tho person, property or earnings of his vic im at bis own good time: but a Bankrupt, by ;iviug up oil his present estate, may voluntarily vipo out all his existing obligations.-tum w<. )6JA(V"^-^rcwTTom nubility to arrest, and his 'ature earnings exempt from molestation. Under ho present laws of. tho Stato^ not only are a lector's proporty and earnings '?ra.bl? for "bis Con rads, but his" very brains and muscles are mort ;agcd as it were to his creditor ;-not so under a lankrupt act, as one who hus taken tho benefit f it can commence the business world anew, ree from let or hindrance. i A Bankrupt act will and must be adopted at ac iiex' or some future Session of tho Legisla aro, unless Congress in tho mean timo docs it >r us. Fortunately tbcro is not and.-.cannot be ny doubt ?bout thc constitutionality and practi ibility of this remedy, for the embarrassments f tho people. It has been decided by. the Su rfine Court of the United'States that if Con ress fails to enact a Bankrupt law, tho States ioy do it, each fir itself. The Philanthropic adicnls are too much devoted to the welfare of ?grocs-to waste timo upon, measnr.es to relieve hito people in tho South. But when Greenbacks ?t sick, as they are sure to do, becanso paper oney is strength in thc beginning,' but ruin in 0 ond, and after an age bf Shinplastcrs there is *ays an age.of hard mcney and harder times, cn the troubles of the North will bring-philan ropy to its senses ;-will restore the Constitu ya; rights of tho South, and compel the cnact ont of an uniform Bankrupt Law for the whole nion.
