Dhe Leislature--End of Military Rule.
hTe'reconstruction Legi'aature met in
Janney'sh Hall, Columbia, at noon, Mon
dhy. There are tw n negroes to one white
Ahnf. T'he scene is a humiliating one.
In the Senate D. T. Corn in was called
Io the chair, in the absence of the ex
elii president, Lemuel ifoazer. A
pernanent organition was effected af
asF.lhe senators present were quzalified,
;pd Cora in elected pro temt. Ex-gov.
ywas invited to communicate any in
ojrmation as to the condition of the State.
= at the House J. 11. Jenks was called to
the ci.air. Proceedings opened with
.prayer by J. H. Adams, (col.) A. 'G.
Mackey adndnistered the oath of office
Rp the tem*porary chairinan. Resolution
adopted to call roll and swear in memu
bers show ing proper credentials, which
~was done by counties. Delegates from
Anderson and Lancaster w2re asked to
.ptand aside, protests havin'g been receiv
ed against their taking seats.
F. J. Moses, white, anid R. B. Elliot,
were nominated for Speaker. Th le latter,
a being as good as Moses intellectually
or otherw ise, of which thore can be no
doubt. Moses, how ever, received 60, and
Elliot 82, scattsring 6. The rules of the
House of Representatives of the Unite
States were adopted as the rules of the
house, and after informing Senate of or
ganization, adjourned.
When the legilature shall have rati
fied the fourteenth article, and when
proclamntion has been made by the Pres
ident of this action, Congressional recon
struction. w ill be cowmpleted, and legally
military rule w ill be at end. The act of
March 2, 1867, provides that when the
"State shall be declared to be entitled to
representation in Congress, and senators
and representatives shall be admitted
therefrom, on "their taking the oaths
prescribed by law, and thenr and there
after the preceding sections of this act
shall be imperative in said State." The
paramount authority of the military in
the pro;i.ional State governments will
then cease to be, and the people will be
free from other trouble than will be found
in the new Constitutions, and military
satraps will come down from their high
Summerville, Aiken anaWallm1la.
Now that the brilliance of a Summer's
run is upon us, and as the French politely
express ii, "we have heat", the above places
offer many attractions to the invalid, and
the sensitive and gifted tourist. As
for Summerville and Walhalla, we can
speak by the book, and endorse afl the
pretty and good things said of the former
place by the Charleston papers We might
beguile a weary momen't or two with seve
ral charming episodes, which transpired at
this trysting. place in the halcyon days of
yore. But suffice it that Summerville is in
statu quo-a place of beauty and delight;
and that good Maj lorbach,of the"Chtarleg
ton" has opene I Brown's Hotel, and decked
it as a bride in waiting for her lord : every.
thing that a liberal mind could conceive to
attract the eye, gladden the hei.rt and
give comfort to the guest, has been brought
into reqnisition. And over the interest* of
this splendid house, preside Mr. George
Mixer and Captain James Kerr, both well
known and highly esteemed gentlemen.
Summerville is but 22 miles from Charles
ton; an early morning train leaves the vil
lage for the city and returns before night
fall, during the summer. So that invalids
and pleasure-seekeis from the upper-coun
try, may enjoy the healthful tonies of sea
air and s.line bath, during the dai, and
a pleasant and speedy return to the deli
cions, bal:aniic air of the village for the
eijoyment ot a nigh-t of calm repose.
Aiken is also a resort of great merit. Its
atmosphere i- pure and brac'ne, and very
gratwful to the enervated. Particularli to
those who have long dwelt in a humid al
m1o<phere. The fame of Summerville and
Aiken for. healthfulness, is only exceeded
by the refinement and courtesy -of their
citizens. We are not certain, but think
our old friend Smizer caters for the pleasant
public at Aiken. If 'tis he, we know
that he "can keep a hotel". Aiken,
has like advantages as Summnerville-the
beautiful city of Augusta being contiguous
thereto.
And who that baa sojourned at Walhalla,
has not a fondness for the place. The
gratdeur of its mountain scenery, the salu.
brity of its climate, tho health-restoring
properties of its waters, rich in mineral
tinetures and clear as crystal, the social
and ho!pitable customs of its people, ren
der a summer s stay at Walhalla altogether
dlightful. Then the charming rides into
the country, amid mountain wilds and the
lovely vallies beyond, clad in verdure,
and abounding in pastoral beauty, where
rustic simplicity and true politeness dwell,
aud go fortR to greet the stranger with
hearty wbleomes to the cottager's fare, fill
one with all the kindlier sentiments.
But to return to Walh'illa, and in order
to completi oues temporal pleasures, mine
host Biomnan stands naitinig to escort* you
to a repast " fit to set befora a king."
Biemai.'s hotel is a famous place, quite no
torious for airy. welil-ke pt spartments, and
a cuis ne that cana't be beat. And now that
who can should avail themselves of a little
recreation.
The Amnesty Pro,elamatiga.
President Johnison has, right worthily,
and ini keepin~g witb his desire for resto
ration and peace, and also in accord with
a great publhc wish, sent forth his amnes
ty proclaumation. Believing that thie war
has long since ceased, and the acknowl
edgenmnt given by all the States of the
supremacy of the Federal government,
and that a*nniesty and pardon will tend
to secure a complete and universal estab
Iishmnent and prevalence of municipal
law and order, he proclaims by iirtue of
the Constitution, and in the name of the
people of the Urated States, and declares
u-m:onditionmally end without reservation,
to all and every person who directly or
indirectly participated in the late insur
rection or rebellion, excepting such per.
sons as may be under pres-entment or in
dictment in any Court of the United
States having competent jurisdiction.
upon a cha~rge of treason or other felony,

of treason against the United States or

and except als.o as to any property legal

Adams and Reverdy Johnson are spoken
of by the admirers of the different gentle

stated that the extent of this list indicates
the comparaitivye embarrassment the Con -
vention will have in choosing. The
choice is between three, per haps, but
the rest are named in the exuberant spit it
of comnphment in which some coterie re
gards each man; or, m"re practically,
these naume are put forth that t ;ey may
score ,,o many votes and have the honor
of withdrauimg those votes in favor of
the iight uman-an honor and a service
of which they will remind the right man
when he is once in office and has good
fat.places to give away.
The Legislative Status.
If it does no goo.d, it can certainly do
no harm to keep in tudnd that in the
South Carolina bogus Legislature there
are fifty-seven whites and ninety-eight
negroes, one hundred and fifty-five in
all. Of these ninety-one pay absolutely
no tax, the remaining sixty-four pay
$441,80, or an averatge of $6.90 each.
The real estate of the State, at the abso
lute mercy of these paupers, is, by the
laesei seceent, worth $70.5(07,075.
Delusory Ideas of California.
Under this heading the Phonix givel
the substance of a letter, received by
Bishop Atkinson of North Carolina, froa
a resident of high posidon in California,
whose character the Bishop endorses,
and whose business of a,sayer proves tht
confidence reposed in him by the mer.
chants and miners of California. The
subject of the letter is emigration, es
pecially with reference to Southern men,
le says that while the general conditior
of the country is prosperous, and thal
it will in time be the seat of a large and
flourishing commonwealth, that it is a
great error to suppose that California
presents any unusual advantages eithei
for capital or labor. And the opinion i.
expressed tiat there is no city in thc
world where the proportion of unem
ployed clerks is so great. The profes.
sions are all overcrowded. The demand
is wholly for labor, and it is doubted if
the condition of the working man is better
there than here. To farm there success
fally requires a knowledge of agriculture,
tOgether with a capital of $5000 to $15,
000, before any thing can be done. -These
viewb we present as coming from un.
questioned authority, and as presenting
truths corroborated by various testimony,
aid as agreeing in part with our own
ideas. We believe that success will
crown the efforts of the energetic, determ
ined man in a large percentage wherever
he is, and that here in our Southern
country there are fields and sources of
wealth undeveloped, as iich and fruitful
as can be found elsewhere. Well direct
ed energy and labor here in the South
will lead to wealth as surely as the same
means will bring about that result elsez
where. Will points out a way, and a
proper proportion of vim, and determina
tion to succeed will surmount obstacles
under which, the man who is looking for
ward for "something to turn up," and
waits inactively for it, will sink.- We
are no advocate for distart fields, the dis
tance of which alone lends the enchant
ment. Nor for severing the pleasant
ties which bind to home, kindred and
friends, and endeared by long years of
association. Hundreds there are, who,
led away by the alluring promise of
speedy fo-t unes, have already found their
mistake, and would no-v como back if
they could, to rest in the land which
from their present stand point, looks to
them to be the brightest and best spot on
e irth. We cannot deny t'at there are
mien who-have bettered themselves, but
they are few, and where one realizes his
hopes ten are doomed to disappointment,
and who would have (lone better at home.
The future of this country must be great
and prosperous, and the barren wastes
will be made to blossom like the rose,
and yield abundance and wealth. A few
ear onl fil prove the truth or th'is.
Alheady are the signs seen, in improved
agr icultural meth"ds, new systems, ma
hinery, labor, and aroused1 energy. All
the elements are here, with the advan
tages of home and friends, and we can
not but este-em it the height of folly when
men are seen casting off every thing which
nakes life happy, anid comforts not to be
experienced till after years of struggling,
if ever again, going forth toguild up
omes, and work out fortunes which in
so many instances proved failures.

IE PRINTERS FAIR PLu.-the fol

o not forget that it costs semething
uff as well as to advertise ; and nev
sponge upon the printer in any

kes money to buy ink, type, paper,
yet, after all this, few aire the thanks
the printers get. Give the printers
play, and give up all expectations of

God bless the girls..
Whose golden c-uris
Blend with our evening dreems;.
They haunt our ives,.
Like spirit wives.,
Or Naiads haunt ihe streams..
They teoothe our pains,.
They fil our -basins
W ith dreams of summer boarsg.
God bless the girls,
God blesa the curts.
God bless our human lowers..
As it would be a slight to overlo4

WIVES-TRUE WIVE&.
Gori bless the wives,
They fill our hives
With little bees and honey;:
They ease life's shocks,
They mend our socks,
But don's they spendthemomj
- Whew we are sick,
They heal us quick
That is. if they love asf
If not, we die
And yet they cry,
And place tombstoznes above a.
Of roguish girls.
With sunnry curke,
We may in fancy dream;
- But wives-true wives
Throunghout our lives
Are everythiing they seem.
The ladies must not believe .thoq,
bat all of lite's blessings were destined
r them, aind that none should be
howered on the "lords of creation,?
Ve therefore give a shower from ettei of
heir own sex, one who appreciates mer.
Mas can be -seen, for she says'
GOD BLESS THE BOYS.
G6d bless the boys,
Who thrill onr joys,
With loving, tender kise!
W ho squeeze our hands
Or loose our bands,
Of flowing silken tresses!
Then romp and swing
Us, o'er the spriqg.
Adown s.he shady hollow;
'Tis all the seine,
They're not to bisme,
'Love leads and they but follow.

God bless the men!
We say amen!i
Who bny us'shawls and dresses,
Or candied drops,
Or lemon pope,
Stand treat when beat oppressas!
-The ducks and dears,
We'd soothe their fears,
And show a heaD of sorrow,
Just as it suits,
For gloves- or boots,
That's wanted for the utosrow.
Oh, can't we wije.
And coax and smile,
When they of cash seem weary,
To get the 'Job"
And ease their fob,
