Davis' eareer in the House of-Reptesentatives, we quote the follow irg extr-act from an interesting work, Ralished some years since: 'John Quin-. cy Adams had a hab,it of always observ iagne"w members. He wo'uld sit near them on the occasion of their (ongres sional debut, closely eyeinag and atten * tively listenin'g if the speech pleasedl him, b~in-quickly departing if it did jiot. When Davis tir.st arose in the Wluse, the ei-presiden.t took a seat clo,se by. Da vfs proceeded, and Adams did not mnove Ttre* one continued speaking and the othecf listening; and those who knew Mr. .Adams' habits were hilly aware that the new member had deeply impressed him. A t.the -elose of the speech the 'old Man * gouent' crossed over to some fneicds an4 aid, 'tha:, yQun.g man, gentlem. u, is rieordinary mnan.. He will make his uiarle yet,-ind Ije.'" Address National Publhinrg Co., At la.'ta, Ga. .Doolittle, in o speech in the Senate tecentry, said1 "t:at when Latium, a Romani province, revolt-ed, and the re voit .xas suppressed, the question arose 'in the Roman Senate, what shall be done with L;aidom and the people of Latium ? T~here were somec who cr ed disfranchise thei-others said confiscate their pro .perty;'there were no'ne who said sub ject tliem. ini vatsalage to their slaves; * uu 01ld Carnillus, in that speech which - evealed his greatness and made his namie . immortal, said : 'Senators, mzake them voor fellow citizens, aid thus add to the power and glory of Rome,' Doolittle a add1ed ; 'In this high place-this Senate of the great -epublie of the world-out of the growth of the civ'iliz-ation of all ages, cannot we, Senators, rise to the height of that great argumer.t ? Alas t we fear they cannot irise, they bare fallen so low. Statcsmianship has declined ; m:,gnaniuity departed ;mercy a dead letter ; trut b, justice and right almost unknown on;g them;f. Rome crumbled for centurie-s before she ex pired. The light of civil libet ty in the model repuhlic of the 19th century is ex tiniguished in its incipiency. Iligher law, the offspring of that fruitful mother Puritanism-which has given bith to a host of toririble isms and utopian schemes, materially as.-iste-d in the downfall of the Uniite4 States, cre it had r-eached nieridian greatness. Its -up of joys, lav islhly filled by a muniticent Providence, has be-come a poisoned chalice, and we drink deeply of its dregs of death. What a spetacle for the world ! America without stat-sme-n ! She n ho but yester day, at it were, proulaimed herself the era dle of liberty. and ereme de la cremie of the world ; the land of statesmeon, initelligene, refinement and elegance ; the school of lat ter-day art -- nd science, nmarchinig with the impision of a new birth, and ini the dawn of a physical millennium, when about to realize her dream of plenitude and grasp . the golden fruitage, is hurled madly, n.ildly back, back to the days of the past. And disrob. d of her beautiy, she lanuguishe's in tribulation. Infidelity, thirst for riches, the pride of material greatness, and a voluptuousness that discarded the hardy virtues of de-parted sires, heroic men, and noble women, who ilemed and adorned the a people 'everything to be miserable.' A heterogeneous north destroyed a homo geneous south. The former with its mate rial power, and the latter its conservative elements, might have devoloped a system of civilizttion that would have rivalled all others, but the want of forbearatice forbade it ; (how often do men or nations forbear with one another.) The strong impose pains and penaltie.; upon the weak ; and the in. herent right to act legitimately for oneself, -even, is often leuied by the arrogant. Once it was declared heresy to think-and heretics were plnished with death. The robust, thi- impudent and the arro gant may affiect to despisc or override the modest, the unpretentious and the unas suming. The elegancies of Southern soci ety in like manner, were not agreeable to shoddy and the miscegenating freelover, and others, who jostled theniselve into the high places of gove-1nient, &e., and so impudence, and cheek, rule the hour, ind the country goes from bad to worse. And what will be the complexion of the next congress ? If there are no statesmen equal to the expansive wants of the country nuw, what will be its condition in the near fuiure with preponderating ignorance, venality, and eupidiiy. Where are the legislators to come from who willjustly per. form a thottsandth part of th. work to be done. The difference between the next body and. the present, in point of intelli cgence, &., -%ill be as great as that betu cen the present and the past. And (unless there is a reformation) the country will doubtless have reached the substratum of Qongressional. January 23.-The Reconstruction Cmaite. this morning, agreed to re port the fllow ing bill Be it enacted, &c., That the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the Guited States shall not extend to any act done, or which shall be done, or to any proceedi-s had, or n hieb shall be had, under aid by virtne o an Act en titled an Act to provide for the more etiieient govervinnt of the rebel Statc!, approved March 2,. 1867, or of the s-ve ral Acts supplementary theret ; and all such cases now pending iin said Court, either by appeal or other% ise, from anN proceedings had in the premises in any listrict or Circuit Court of the United States, shall be dismissed by said Su preme Cot,rt, and no record of any pro ceedings had, or whicl might he had, under either of the District Commati ders, under either of -the Acts, shal- be removed to be reviewed in any other tribuial, either upon habeas corpus, quo warranto, or in other manner what ever. The yore upon the bill is understood to haice beena yeas-Stevenis, IBingh-ami. Paine, tutwell and Beahman, Reputah canis; niays-HuJrlb)urd, R^epublican; Brooks and Beck, - Democrats.

WXASUia-roN, Jainuairy 24-In the House, the hill forbildding certain pay Conference Comnmittde's report on the cotton tax, and appointed a new Comn mittee. The death of Mr. Hfise was an nounced, and the House adjourned. In the Senate, Edmnunds and Johnson took is.-ue with the President's ipinion, relative to the bill str-iking "white" Iromx the Di4trict Ordinances. The mnessage was referred to the Judiciary Commrit tee. The Senate adhered to -its amend ments to the dehiciency biil, forfliddiing :!pprop)riations for the Quartermiaster' Del.artment being expendedl for r- con struction, or any other purpose. Gen. Huward w-'s called on for elaboraite re ports regar-diing abandoned lands and other relative om-tters. A joint resolu tion, a'.t iorizing the distr-ibujtion of dets sicated meats aind vegetables not needed by the army -to sufferers in the South, passed. The reconstruction h.ill was r--I somned. Morton spoke, and Nye will f!o.The argument will- probat>ly WVasniNrros, Janury 27.-In -the llouse,. several bills of m:inor- importance were hresenited, and referred to- appro priate Commiittees. And a reso'luti,-n fromn the Ge-orgia Convention, urging a re-organizing of the State goveirnmient and a mnodification of the test oath. A d journied. - In the Senate, after the presentation and disposition of sonme miscellaneous busine,s, the re-constrtuction question was resumned. Watson favor. d the bill, and said that duriing his thirteen yecars Seinator-ship, lie ha.l listened to a great many si:e.-ches ; lie ha:d heard the- domi; ineerinlg D)avis. the blustering Tooinbs, the plausible Mason, the wiley Slidell, but he h-ad never list,ened to a more wicked spec-h thatn that delivered by Mr, Dooli:tle, on Thursdlay last. Mr. Johnson followed, with a powverful enn stitutional a'rgumient against thc bill. Adjourned. A CoMPru.uNT WEL DERERtVED.-The London Qoar terly Review, replyinog to an essay by Gold'vina Smith, who cites Lincoln, Grant, Sherm-nan and Stan ton ) as examples of Ame'rican great menC , "We admit that Mr. Stanton and his colleiigues have done great things onl a great scale, but they lac-k the stamp of individual greatness. If that is to be found anywhere in Americ-a, it is under. the modest roof of General Lee, the champion of a lost canse, whom prosperi ty never intoxicated nor ndversity de pressed, and wvho exceeded his opp.one~nt as much in real nobility and gr' atneSs 'If charac-ter as he did in mitar~uiy skill anid darinig." A GOOD INTENTo.-The Maccn (Ga.) Tehc-graph of the 1 8th instant says: From -all we can learn, it is the openly express d inatention of two-thirds of tl-e planters of Soutnwestern Georgia to not only conduct their planting iinterest on at much less extensive scale thn the past season, but wiill give more atten tion to prov-isins hereafter, and plant less cotton. This is as it should be. Those planters, even, who raised en.ough corn to provision for even two or three nmonthis of the coming season, find them selves "foot-loose,"' as it were, and will exper-ience little or no difficulty in comn iing out all right in making another crop. Is rr PoSsIBE-John Nanc was hanged in Kn>xvilleon Friday. He was convicted for robbing an er Confederate soldier namrerd W. McBee, and Governor Oonvention Proceedings. We continue an account ot the great reformation, which was opened with prayer by Runion, Menday 20th. After which the standing committees were an nounced. 'It is not important to give the names except in favor of the dele gates from NewbWy, who stand thus: Jas. Henderson on the Bill of Rights; B. 0. Duncan on the Legislative part of the Constitution ; and Lee Nance on Pe titions. Other committees are-Execu tive part of Constitution ; Judiciary ; Franchise and Elections; Finance ; Edu cation ; Rules and Regulatiions; Miscel laneous Provi.ions of Constitution ; and Review and Consolidation of Constitu tion as a whole. A resolution to leave confiscation and franchise entirely to C ngress, by B. F. Randolph, referred to CoL)1t11ittee. . Jas. M. Rutland moved a speedy ex amination i:rto the condition of the State Treasury, committee o! Finance insiruct ed accordingly. The fact is apparent and leaks all through that there is not mvich monev in the institution, and that their wash-women are pushing them on to do sonethitig. Resolutions by Moses lo petition Genl. Canby to stay for three months all exe cutions for deb[s prior to June 30, 1805, was, after conwuierable discussion, re ferred to the Executive Committee. L. S. Langly wants a change in the name of the Election litricts in the State to Counties, and to divide the Counties into townships of not less t.han five nor more ihan ten square miles each. Neagle,-- proposes in a resolution to levy a black-mail tax of $200,000 to pay expenses. B. 0. Duncan, says that slavery hav ing been abolished, debts for slaves should be null a:;d void, and offered a r~solutian to that effect. Moses, seeing that legal advice is ne cessary in Convention, offered a resolu tion to invite Solicitor C. D. Melton to that office, and if'hc accepted the flatter img distinction, to give him an interest in the $200,000 to be raised, so far -as mileage and per diem would go. And also an interest in the prayers of Rev: Runion. Resolution to fix per diem at $8, and mileage for county delegates 25 cents per mile. Resolutions by Hoarley: 1. That no person be eligible for offee who is not qualified to vote. 2.'hat no prson in anf way engaged in, or connected with, a duel shall be eli gible for office. 8. That lotteries be foreever prohibited. 4. That imprisonment for debt be abolished, except in cases of fraud. January 21.-Report in favor of pe tition to stay executions for three mnonths. The following resolutions were intro To incorporate in the Gonstitution provisions against bribery. For the re-estab)lishmenlt of a militia. And an ordinance to abolish District Courts, which latter caused conside rable discussion, and was refe red to the coim mnittee on the Judiciary. A resolution making the qualificntions ofjurors the same as voters, with the adlditioni that they be able to read and write. Referred. B. 0. Duncan read a petition to Con gr-ess asking a repeal of the cotton tax. C. C. Bowent introduced a bill of forty proviNions. The follow ing are some of the. provisions : The protubition of cor p)oreal punishmnent ; the abolition of im prisonment for dlebt ; the exception from the provision against ex post facto laws of such laws as migTht invalidat.e debts incorred between 1860 and 1865, or for .slaves ; 4he-incorp,oration of all associa tions of persons desiting to be incorpor-a ted ; opening Siate- educational institu tions to all persons, without distinction. A resolution to instruct the legista ture to revise the lawr', as justice cannot be obtained as the laws now arc. And a resolution providin~g for a sys temh of communon schools. January 22.-The Mercury heads its report of this day's pr-oc-eedings with a criticism on the popularity of circusses, lions, trained mo'nkeys and striped jack asses, and says just so with .the great ringed-streaked. And why ? Because the chair remains ponderously ugly, WVhittem -re robustly vain, Moses bitter, Whipper ston, Bozr sensible, L. B. Johnson modest, Byas stupid and Dun can nervous. Langly has not ceased to lisp, nor Nowell to stare. Wright con tinues to rise on points of order, and De Large to display his whiskers. The rest of the animals remain quiet, with the exception of an occasional chatter, grunt, snarl or bray according to the nature of the beast. In short the scene was the same yesterday as before, and yet there was a large delegation from Ethiopia in the back ground. The proceedings were dull ; resolu tionus were offered, referring to the di vio'n of the Districts of the State, to establish penal codle and reform schools, andl re-organizing the Supreme and In ferior Cout ts. Sorme , (opposition nas manifested to measures of relief, but a vast majority favor them. January 23.-The Convention, to day, was engaged chiefly in the discussion of the propriety of adopting relief meas ures for debtors, on a resolution asking Gent.- Canny to suspend sales of pr-operty for three months. The negroes are bit ter against land-holders, former rich men ; as one said, in a speech, lie would make them sell land, if it could be se cured in no other way. No results to report. The negroes are growing more excited. January 24.-A decided change in the performances, says the Mercury, (from our synopsis,) took place to-day, which promies a lively tine. R. 11. Cain. (black) from Charleston, opened his mouth and sp4ke for the first time, and in great violence appealed to the pas sions and prejudice.4 of the ignorant, and raised a howl of delight in the menagerie, There were several interesting debates between the colored delegates on mea sure of relief for the people. It was urged on one hand by the extremists, that the whites owning property about to be sacrificed at sherifr's sale, aught to suffer 1-y -reason of participation in the war ; on the other hand, that sales would be made to speculators and stran gers, who would hold the property at exorbitant rates, forbidding the develop ment of enterprise. A special order being the resolution of F. J. Moses, Jr., for a petition to Gen. Canby for a three month's stay of exe cutions was taken up. T. J. Robertson, by permissin, read an argument. ngainst the resolution. The points he made were that the men who wanted the Stay-law were the5ecession ists. That the poor would not be bene fitted. Stay-laws were against the re construction acts, and against sound pol icy. The substincee of his speech was an appeal to the passions of negroes against land-holders. At, this point it was that Cain, above al luded to, gol the Ior. After his haran gue, which w::s rapturously received, Convention adjourned. January 25.-Session short. A com muni.-ation was read from the Assistant Bureau Commissioner asking Convention to disabuse the minds of the people (colored) of the idea that the Corven tion has lands at its disposal for dlistribu tion. The resolution of F. J. Moses. in rela tion to the three months Stay law was rpad. De Large replied to Cain who had spoken against it, and charged that threats of intimidation- had been used outside to prevent delegates from voting. T. J. Robertson took the statement about intimidation to himself, and inter rupted the speaker in a passionate man ner, declar4ig the charge false. Expl. ations followed, and both parties satisfied. Other observations, pro and con were made until time to adjourn, when the committee rose.ard reported noVecision. Thus ended the ninth day. CIlARLE.STON, January 27.-The Con vention, to-day, was enaeintec sieainof. the report of the Finance Committee; which recommends levying a .<pecial tax, to defray the expenses of the Conventinn and prevent the credit of the State. The Commtitmee recommends that the pay of the members be nine dollars a day, anid t wenty cents ienge, payable in hills receivable of the State. cons derable excitement followed the ad 'our:ment f the Convention, gro -n the Mercury-, by a son of Collector M:n-key, President of the Conventiomn, on :m'c.'unt of an abus!ve article in to-d ay' M .rc u r WVe regre-t tojearn from the Abbeville Press,'that the d welling h-use and kit ebena of C;apt. II. S. Kerr, in tr,at village, wer e totally destroyed by fire onTus day morning last. The furniture. through the exertions of the citizens, was saved. Incer.diarism. Capt. Kerr is a large heated, intelli gent gentlemnan, and an ex-mnember o'f the "Art Prcservative," from which he retired many years ago. BrNCOYlBE CABBAGE SEED.-Capt. W. IH. Webb has on hand .a fine supply of this justly eelebrated cabbage seed. WVe are told tl.at the 'Bancombe', when pro perly cultivated, heads finely in this se.tion. The seed is put up by Mr. J. P. Osborne. Praice 10 cen ts per package, or 'three for a quarter.' It is stated that a cow in Snrnmerville, gave birth on New Year's Eve, to two enlves, which'at last accounts were <1oing well. A good cow. There is another of the -same son t at Helena. SPECA;.-The announceinent is made elsewvhere that those capital artists and clever fellows, Wren & Wheeler, take a flight to other parts at an early period ; before their departure finally, they make a teurprary move to the gallery over Mayes & Martin's store. IThey will be in their new gallery early next -week, and w"ill be happy to receive their-friend. and the pubalic, and make a few more of their splendid pictures. Their stay will be but for a month longer. The oublic are informed that Mr. Wise man, photographer, has permanently lo cated in this place, and will occupy the gallery over Mr. Mower's store, in the exercise of his art, lie will be prepared to take pictures in any style, and at mod erate rates, in a few days. See card. "Precious dreams of home and thee," is the title of a charming piece of music for sale at the book store of Messrs. Duf fie & Chapman. '[le author Miss Em ma Westfield, of Greenville, in our own State, is a young lady of no little talent, and has shown munch ability in this piece. We bespeak a ready sale for it. MARtRIED.-We notice in the Bonham Texas News, that Mr. Charles Bailey, one of the proprietors of that excellent pa per, and a hi other of that no less excel lent fellow, Bailey, of our town, familiar ly known as 'old Ned' of sweet memory, has gone and married, lie was driven to the deed through ambition to keep up with the Sherman Courier man, who did the same thing a week previous, and so turned the 'biled' side of his linen out, and rushed incontinently into matrimo ny with the beautiful and charming Miss Ella. We don't know Charley the hap py, but venture if he is as clever as 'old Ned,' that Miss Ella and himself will go on their way rejoicing. Here's our [F, LOCAL ITEMS. DIsTtc-T CoURT--Judge Pope, presi ding.-The Sessions docket in this court was greater than we anticipated, and t te cases mostly larceny and assaults, while the common pleas docket was light; together howev%r the was work labo rious and called for the exercize of much patience. The admirable practical abil ities of bench and bar were evidenced in the facility with which the cdnfused and knotty-web of business was gone through with, and which happily ena bled his Honor to discharge his jury at an early hour on Thursday afternoon. Ours was not the high honor of making one of the "intelligence" this time for tunately, it being a mixed affair and col ored, half white and half black, and hav ing no particular business in, court, but considerable outside, we were prevented giving as close attention as we would like to have done; therefcre the report is brief. We noticed however with pleas ure, during a L.asty visit, a respectable attendance of the Bar, with each a pile of law and evidence before them, and among.whom we mention our esteelned Solicitor, Col. Fair, as keen in the exer cise of iegal lore and wit as in the good days of old, Gen. Garlington, Maj. Bax ter, Maj. Jones, S. Chapman, Esq., and the Messrs. Spearman. Majors Suber and Sonmer, and Benson Jones, Esq. being absent from town. All gentlemen of eminent legal ability, and of whom as a Bar Newberry is justly proud. The colored portion of the community, who are so largely interested in the district court, have had another evidence of zeal in their behalf on the part of the counsel, and should be deeply grateful, although in the majority of the cases, !acts proved too stubborn to be overcome to their ad vantage. It is time that they learn, that to avoid punishment they must commit no crime against the law. The "cases" must have been hard ones, and with guilt transparent in their faces, or else the "intelligence" were in haste, and were indifferent as to the d,llars and cents which each day's sitting added to the'r wealth, for- the almost invariable and very speedy finding was "guilty." It was clear that this mixed body of ju. rors wifo "sot" under the drippings cf his eloquent Honor, and who were fre quently, as we were told, inandated, and sometimes almost carried away with the torrents of beautiful oratory and ima gery from Solicitor and Bar, had their eyes "skint," and exercised wondlerfl judgment under the lead of the "little corporal," o-calUed by the old 13th in~ war times, and now the foreman. No time was lost with the "records" to the relief of the court. Intelligent 'ixture!' The sentences in the cases as given be -.mmv 'a~ on SEninv when the honorable district court adiourned till its next session, if not discontinued by act of the great ringed-streaked ar.d stri ped in the mecantime: The Statte vs. Dinah Boyvd, larceny, not guilty. Gilbert Chialmers and J. R'isl, petit larceny, guilty, sentence $10 and costs. Spencer Davis, trespass after notice, sentence $10 and costs.

With the exception of this last, the other parties named are colored. DEB-r.-"Debt is a perfect bore, isn't it? how it haunts a man from pillar to post; lurking in his breakfast cup, poisoning his dinner, embittering his tea ! how it stalks from him like a living, moving, ike'eton, seeming to anneunce his pres ence by recotunting the amount of liabil ities. How it poisons his domestic joys, by introducing its infernal 'balance' into the calculation of madam respecting the price of a new carpet, or a new dress! At bed and board by night or day, in eyor grief, in health or sickness, at home or abroad-debt-grim, gaunt and No CaRM-We have been much ex orci:ed of Late.on the subject of no cre dit. Last year some of our leading mer chants closed on the old and ruinous system of 'booking,' while others tried but failed through lack of firmness, and while the one is satisfied and easy in mind, the other grieves without conso lation. When will our inerchants and people learn sense, and profit by expe rience? Let us all try this year, neither to give or ask for abominable credit, and it %vill .ie the death which will have no resurrection, for when once finally laid away in its winding sheet, such will be the general comforr and rejoicing, that no one will be stui>id enough to unearth the monster, whose hid(ous mien brings discomfoi t, and ruin on buyer, and seller. Pay as you go, let that be the motto, and our word for it it will work to the gen eral good. As a move in that direction we propose Ihat the merchants, large and small, meet togeier, compare notes, and fix upon a card to the -public, stating their determination to give no more cre dii, to good, bad or indifferent, sign the notice, and we will publish it for next to nothing. Try it merchants; no one can be offended when the thing is ro gencraL We feel interested and want it, and won't have any more credit, so far as this local is concerned. Desn Swift says, he never knew a man rise to eminence who lay in bed of a morning; Dr. Franklin says,' he who rises late may trot all day, but never overtake his business. SpicE.-"The Landlady's Daughter," from the German of Ubland, is one of those strange and startling conceits which no other language attempts.- Let it heed our Spice canin There came three students over the RhinC Dame Werter's hon,e they entered in; "Dune Werter, hast thou good beer and wine ? And where's that lovely daughter of thine!" "My beer and my wine are fresh and clear My daughter is lying coit on her bier," They itepped within the chamber of rett, W here shrined lay the maiden, in blusk robes drei-ed. The first he drew from her face the veit; "Al I wert thou alive, thou maiden so pale," Ile said, as he gazed with siddened br.w, "Hlow dearly would I uve thee nowl" The second he cove-ed the face anew, Ard, weeping, he turned aside from the view; "Ah me! that thou liest on the bier, The one I have -loved for so many a year!" The third once more upifted the veil, lie kissed the [:ps so deadly pale; . "['hee loved I ever, still love I thee, And thee will I love through eternity ." And that kiss-that kiss-with Promethean flame Thrilled with new life'the quivering frame; And the maid u.prose and stood by his side, That student's own loved and loving .bride!
