Congressional News. Both Houses nf C ingress assembled in Washington on M n !.t\, the Ttli. In ihii Sonnie, i?n ih>ii day, the Georgia Senatorial question was warmly sustained, ! Hill's credentials utily were presented. Mil- j 1er will probably require the removal oi po- j liticnl disabilities, and it was thought best not to complicare Hill's credentials. Trie Re publican parly arc divided on thi.s question jtL's^r-. A kerman, Baird, Speer, und mern ber.-* of Congress,except Clift, urge Hill's ad mirion. Governor Bullock and Foster Blod geir, supported by Congressman Clift, urge delay. li ie, nf ?rk?nsaV, introduced a bill re 11 airiiig the Secretary i l'War to deliver to the Governors cf North Carolina. South Car ulina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkaj?sas? at their respectivo seats of G.jvernmqut, a-> many anns lor militia as the Governors may require, not exceeding two thousand rifles and two field pieces for each Congressional District. These arms must go ititi? the band> of loyal men, but remain the property of tLe United-States, subject U: the order of Congress. Gov. Bullock addressed a ccuiinunication to Congress representing that the laws of Congr&s, under wLicli Georgia was admitted to die Uni?u were not fully complied with, and holding until such compliance, Georgia's Government mast continue Provisional. Tho failure lies ?ti failing to exact from officers elected the oath prescribed by C ingress ard administering- iu>tt ad that provided by -the prop-'sei Giorgia Constitution, which failure io execute the law of .Congress has resulted in the defeat of the purposes which Congre-s lind in view in pasing these acta-namely affording adequate protection for life and property-maintenance of peace, good order and free expression of political opinions. The Governor states that the wisdom displayed by Congress in providing thiit only loyal men participate in the establishment of a Provi sional Government to be hereafter clothed with the rights and immunities'of a State ia the Union is made apparent, by consequences arising from failure to enforce that legisla lion. The Governor calls the attention of Congress tp this subject, to the e-d that steps be taken to obtain full information in relation thereto and to the end that loyalty may bc protected and promoted by the eu orcement of the laws enacted by the Representatives of the American people. In the House some half dozen bills and amendments to the Constitution providing for the regulation of the voting and naturaliza tion in all the States were presented aud rn fcrred to appropriate Committe?s.

On the 8 h, in the Senate bills, were intro duced electing the President and Vice Pres ident directly hy the people ; removing pu litical disabilities; abolishing the fraakiuc privilege, and continues the Freedmen's Bu reau in certain States. In the House, a memorial was presentee from the members ( f the Georgia Legisla ture protesting against the manner of organ izing the Provisional Government of Georgi* aud the subsequent action o| the Legislature wherein the following occurs : " Your memorialists also respectfully sub mit to thc decision of Congress whether thc Constitutional Amendment has been adoptei by the Legislature of Georgia and whethei further legislation is not necessary before the State can legally resume her status as a Stat? ia the Union entitled to all the privileges o a loyal State. Your memorialists presen these facts iu behalf of themselves and ovai six hundred and fify thousand lo\a' titi/ n< of Goorda, and tutsi theil appeal wiil not b( in vain.'"'

Cald weil and forty-four members of the House including the expelled members, Oa the Otb, the Senate refused, after i few paragraphs, to hear the President's Mes sage read. Sumner's Georgia bill is as follows: Aftei premising that the Legislature failed to com ply with the Reconstruction Acts, by omit liog to exnet the required oath, and did thing) utterly injustifiable and requiring the inter vention of Congress, the bdl declares the ex i-ting government provisional only, aad^it all respects subject to the paramount au thority of Congress, to abolish^ modify oi control the same, until jhpsyLegislature com plies with all the requirements of the Recon structioa Acts>/-4nd adopts the fourteentl anu>n,dnijaiS^*a?a subject tc- the fundamenta - ' condition that no change be made infringing on the rights of suffrage of any class of citi Ans. The bill directs that the Goverr.o; elect shall call the Assembly at Atlanta < n oi before April nex', excluding, unless relievet by Congress, all who cannot take the pre scribed oeth. Thc Governor is also empow ered to suspend or remove from office- Stat or municipal officers, and appoint others ii their stead. Finally the President is orderet to place at the disposal of the Governor suet p ir tion of the army and navy as may be ne te?sary to preserve life, property, peace an( Ir'ee expres i?n of po? ical opinion. lu the House, a bill waa introduced sub milting the Virginia Constitution to thtlpeo pie of Virginia un the seventeenth of Januar; The House passed Ihe bill relieving Judgi Moses.

BACON, EDITOR WEDNESDAY, DEC IO, 18G8. An Extremely Melancholy Occurrence. On Saturday afternoon l'ut, there happened an altair in our section, which should stand forever in the memory of all, as a mont solemn warning against thetoo"fee usc of a*dont spirit3. A affair, in which two intimate friend?, both under thc influence of liquor, foll to quarrelling, and tho one .?hot and killed tho other. Tho actors in this most melancholy scone were Dr. WILLIAM T WEST, of Liberty Hill, and Dr. THOMAS H. PAT TBRSOX, livingeight or niue miles below the village Dr. Wear was tho victim; and ho is now lying in a bloody gravo. On his way from Augusta,' h stopped at Dr. PATTERSON'S residence for a neigh borly visit and friendly chat. The two friends drank; togo thor, quarreled and fought ; und tho result ins as wo have stated above Dr. WEST lived until Sunday, and freely forguvo tho un fortunate mun who bad taken his life. Neither ooe could remember whut thoy had quarreled febont. Dr. WEST was a highly respectable and ?peaceable r.itizun ; Dr. PATTERSON no loss so The many friends of theso families are filled with gloom at ibis lamentable occurrence. The New District Officers. Tho District Officers elected in Edgefield by the Radical negro vote, undeP't'he Reconstruction Laws, aro all finally installed in office:-D. L Turner, as Judge of Probate ; Andrew Ramsay aa Clerk of Court,- John McDevit, jr., as Sheriff. Snow, anti Hard Weather. On Friday morning last, the denizens of this part of the world were much astounded, upon ritiing from their'beds, to find tho faco of nature covered with snow-soft and loose, but quito thick. It soon disappeared, however; by noon net a .vestige of it was to be seen. Aud then bo gan a edd spoil which bas pinched, and puckered and perplexed people terribly. Saturday, Sun day and Monday last, were days which would have done credit to Nova Zembla or Spitsbergen Now, it is milder, though still decidedly cold. In tho meantimo, large, numbers of hogs have been led to thc sacrifice ; aud throughout theso parts good cheer abounds. ^gy~We aro indebted to Mr. FRANK ARNIM Senator from Edgofield to tho ' Legislature (so called) for a neatly printed copy of the Acts of tho General Assembly passed at the Special Ses sion.-and return thanks for the same. We Must Have a Daily Mail. Anl our citizens must bear in mind that tho present contract, as regards the mail at Edgefield, calls only for a tri weekly delivery. Therofore, they must m i vc in the matter, and petition tho Department to grant them a daily mail. If the I proper steps aro takon, it is hardly to be snp [ posed that.the Government will refuse us this re quest, as tho Railroad is now running so near cs Xor should they bc any timo lost in gotting this matter satisfactorily arranged ; for even now we are without a mail, .and have been for five or six days. For some reason or othor the mails hare been, and still are, withheld from the present con tractor. And to be doprived of mail privileges, is, literally and truly, one of tho direst ills that flesh is heir to. Let nothing be left undone, then, to secure for Edgefield, and that right speedily, a Daily Mail. -? . ? A New Magistrate. STUART HARRISON, Esq., for BO many years the popular and efficient Clerk of tho Court of Edge field District, has received from Gov. SCOTT thc appointment of Magistrate. He has relinquished the Clerk's Office to thc incombent elected under tho new mjime, and.will, in future, devote much of his time to the discharge of the duties of bi? new. office Arc we to Have no Town Council ? Edgefield, as an incorporated town, is in a most dangerous and anomalous condition. For months she has been without any somblanco of Town Council. Nor does there seem to bo any proba bility of a change for the better in this respect. It is quite useless for us to enumerate the many respects in which the interests of a town must suffer, when that town is, fur months, without any municipal government whatever. The dan gers, the ruin, tho disaster, which may spring from such a stato of affairs are at onco npparont to every thinking man. During the last threo months, we have had in our midst a Company of quiet and respectable U. S. Soldiers, whose good bebuvior and whose re liability will not soon bo forgotten by thc pcoplo of Edgefield. In case of actual danger and trouble the officers and soldiers of this company would have come to tho rescue ; indeed their presente went fur towards filling tho want of a municipal government. But they aro gone; and -Edgefield, os we Haye said above, is in a most dangerous and anomalous condition. When Municipal Elections were held through out tho State, we bad none in Edgefield. Nor was it our fault. The Commissioners of Elections for Edgefield District, appointed by Gov. Scott, could not, or would not, or, ut all evonts, did. not, serve ; and consequently no Managers were ap pointed, no election ordered. And we hope, in view of this maltet, that Gov. Scott will again appoint Commissioners of Elec tion for thia District; and that Managers will bo appointed immediately thereafter, so that we mn proceed to bold at least a Municipal Ekcion. The New Female School. In our advertising columns will be found the announcement of thc opening of a.new Fomale School in Edgefield. We are sincerely glad to know that tho fine Hall of tho College Building is soon to bo devoted once more to educational purposes. This Build ing is now owned by our respected townsman, JOHN L. ADDISON, Esq., who, with his family, is residing in iL Mr. LYNCH, Principal of this Sohool, ia a nephew of Bishop LVNCH of South Carolina, and, there fore, one of a family noted for intellectuality, montai cultivation, and high tone. Mr. Lv.scti has been educated almos' exclusively in France, and speaks the Modem European Languages as ho does his own-fluently and elogantly. Wc trust our citizens'will not be slow to im prove the opportunity now offered to build up in their midst a first-class Female Institution. Musouic.

The negroo:- of the Second Congressional Dis rict a'ifj Loiiiiinna hive' elected Wills Menard, a ellow-negro, as their lVspresentnlive in Congress rom that District; and Wills Menard, the negro, ms daly repaired to Washington to take his ?at ic Congress, which assembled a fortnight igo. But, alas, for the reward of tho long op r{ >res ed race! the white brother Republicans nf IVills Menard are not willing that be should g lit hy them or among thom. And the last t Cession of the Fortieth ConorMU.of that great country, the United Statcs^jjr America, is lisgraced by the appearance of a negro, claiming t i seat in tho Natioual Council. What the result t ?rill be wo -know not. The Hon. Wills Menard c will, most probably, be induced not to press his slaims, but to retiro modestly to his native sugar jlantaiions ; aud the whole affair will bc huggor auggered in true Republican style. But how .hon ? For, acrording to tho Republican creed, :he great cause of equal rights will not bo finishall ?util the colored man is seen in every department )f tho governuiant. Bab! Reconstruction, and Republicanism and Equal Rights are all lumeuta )lo failures in this country. And the lesson , ?aught by the whnlo matter, is thut negroes should ; lot bo allowed tho suffrage. , And in overy. possible and impossible way mould Southern people continue to fight against .his damnable outrage of negro suffrage. The L'rosidential election is over, and the Reconstruc- . ? lion laws arc in force ; but, notwithstanding all ? this, let us not cease to fight against negro suf frage. In the wide world there is not a single rood | ] of ground, nor bas there beon a single chapter in history from the creation of tho oarth down to the day in which wo live, which presents a res pectable claim of tho African to be trusted wilh the administration of government, or with par ticipation therein. The maddest act a people ever committed-we wish to-day, to put ourselves ever lastingly upon this record !-was the taking ol' the negro from tho corn and cotton Golds, and making bim a voter. He was, beyond question, unfit for the trust. Nothing but the selfishness of party feeling, stimulated by a reckless disregard of tho public safety and tho public welfare, could have led to his bciug trusted with this important and responsible privilego. If it wero reasonable to imagine him capable of participation in govern ment, no honest statesman could have urged his immediate exaltation to that privilege. All truth ful and wise mon mutt concede that he shoutd have been subjected to thc trial of a period of probation before being so trusted, and that upon indications of capacity elicited by such pe riod of trial should have depended the questioner whether he should ever enjoy tho r?4fJ?ir*0TMf?nng/[ But tho Radical- ^arty^gn^rea all reason, all justice, and committed the great crime of making tho negro equal participant with the white race in all matters of government Th* negro had never civilized^ a country-not even his own-had never invented anything-had never improved anything -but had only distinguished himself for destroy ing a civilized country that had, through unto ward circumstances, fallen into his hands. And yet thc Radical party of America admitted him. when just out of a state of slavery, to a participa tion in a system of government which the Cau casian race had been for many centuries endeav oring to perfect This was the greatest national crime ever perpetrated. The negro himself knows that hois not fit. The philanthropists and partisan hypocrites know ho is not fit Thon why havo they tantalized him with an empty privilege-a right which is but to vex his life with hopes that are never to be real ized and honors never to bc enjoyed ? But independently of injustice to classes, these Radical rulers have iuflictcd serious injury upon their country. They may say in reply that tboy have only done this thing towards their follow white oitizons of the Southern States, who aro rebels and not worthy of forbearance ; but inas much as they are citizens of tho United States, un injury irh w>H rlnflmwinn lt??!- ?-..-!>-J impairs their prosperity is an injury to tho United States, its public character and its material re sources. Such an unprecedented degradation of | the constituent body must degrade equally the representative body, taking.from it respectability, capability and reliability. The world, to the ex ton; of the degradation, loses confidence iu the State, capitalists will not trust in it, enterprise will not survive in a land so degraded in its gov ernment, aud all the occupations of man una voidably declino under the deoay of the vital principles of confidence, capacity, wisdom, and virtue in the Stato. These views the Southern people have main tained, and will continue to assort They will never by their own free will and consent submit to tho adulteration of their Governments by the negro element. They consider it essential t^ proper government, to the general prosperity of j white and black, that government should be efficiont, intelligent and virtuous, and that this wo cannot havo with a dograded constituency. We feel convinced that those truths matt soon be confessed by all parties, and that the State md national welfare will irresistibly demand their onforebmentin spite cf the corrupt politi cians, dcpraveofnyj?ot.".js, and raving madmen, who have conspired*to^rnin^rnw^w^nJtT^y.

A man who made enemies because ho spoko freely what ho thought, pro cr cn, for or against bis onomio3 or friends,-one of the few bravo men who foared and backed from no danger.
