In the ease of e Mr. Welch, the Housv not. only refused to , 'I expel him, but entirely exculpated him, from ' the charges made against him by competent 1 witnesses, nnd which were sustained by the judgement of the Investigating Committee, j Mr. Gilbert in a fit of iudi^nntion, charged the House with gross injustice townrcU him a j and concluded by resigning his sent ; nlr though, reaolutiona to expel him, were tabled by :i vote of 135 against Gd.

Editors, as a class, are famous for getting into difficulties, generally with the sterner sex, but our friend of the Orangeburg Southn *. has allowed himself to be caught in a web, woven by the hand of the faiisy portion of the human race ; nevertheless, his position, is nont the less perilous, on Hint account. First, he suffered to appear in his columns a spicy piece of poetry, en tilled "Beware of the Widow." Fatal indiscretion ! This offended and worthy class of individuals, pounces upon him after the following fashion : .Messrs Editors: In casually glancing over your last paper of 25ili of February, our attention was nltractsd to an article entitled "Beware of the widow " we flhve read it carefully over and over again, and the more we think about it we aru convinced still further of its absurd ties and personal attack (wc call it p< rsonut because it has a direct reference to widows exclusively.) ? Ycr!f>W;'Tbr 'newspapera'a* wo are of ih? opinion that newspaper scribblers and editors are minus b-low nothing.

Yyu any "She sometimes sighs ; "l'is dreadful ty nnss through life alone" did you ever hear one say thai ? if you say so vengeance lietli at thednp.r; I ami yon say "When you're safely Wedded she may box your silly eats." did you ever sec the like tell us did you ever ? We see no propriety for publishing it, it coutains 110 information for your readers, and why did yvtu insert it ? you knew or ought to have known that we wouldn't like it, and you did not care a straw, hut hold on and ] we will give you soot?como to our faces and repyaf that scirrilous language and we will lay asi^e Widowhood and put on the armour of tuanhood?we w ill vindicate our rights, and may God speed the time when we may lake our place among the nations of the earth.

WIDOWS We hope, for the honor of the eruft, that our brethren below may survive the unrghteous onslaught , but when vvc think about what aouie writer has s.tid, we forget now who, we tremblu for their perilous situation : "Not ev'n the soldier's fury rais'd in war.
