Wo rosumo tho narrativo df Our recant trip to Washington'mid'Now York: Wo ar rived iii Washington' on tho drat day of | Marob. Unusual pr?paration bad boon made to mtvkrj tho inaugural ceremony a auj. iMsit fo?t yoava ago ono of tho grandest political frauds over eoncoived was palraod off on tho. country bj the lludioul? io their Joauguratjcm of Mr. Hajqs. This timo their candidate had boen elected according to the forms of law and their doe i i o seemed to bc to obliterate tho rascality, porpotratod by thom. Thousands of pooplo wore docking to Washington from ,overy scotion of tito cou tv try. Tho city was full to ovorflovring, moro than 100,000 people boing present. Oo the 4th, the weather was not propitious, snow, rain and sleet having fallen tho night boforo and on tho morning of tho hh. Not withstanding ok an carly hour tho streets were thronged with men, women aud chil dren, white ?md black. Tho procession, at tho hoad of which was Prcsidout Hayes and. thc Prosidont olootand thoir families in opon carriages, moved along Pennsylvania avenue from the- President's mansion to thc capitol, followed by at least twonty thousand armed soldiers and sooicties and political clubs, all under tho command of (Jon. Sherman and other officers, Federal and Confederate, teemingly happy under tho "stars and s tri pc 8." The pageant was grand, a little too much for our Republican simplicity. Tho armed or military feature of tho coromonios was tho roost objectionable to us. It is oasy to seo, in tho case of a closo and uncertain contest for tho Prosidonoy, tho troops, regular and volunteer, being undor command of tho Ocnoral of tho army of tho United States, could turn tho SOtllo in favjr of another fraud for tho Prosidoncy. Tho procession vas several hours in pasbing a given point along tho ronlo, Tho President olect de livered his inaugural in tho opon air, -at tho East front of tho capitol, and was then "sworn in" by Chlof Justice Waite, of tho Suprome Court. Thus ono citiaon laid down the highest office in the gift of tho pooplo and waa succeeded by another oitiaon, who in timo Will bo succoodod by some ono olso. A few pld fashioned people demured to this great parado, and ci tod, as a botter precedent the foot that Jefferson, when inaugurated, rode from tho Prosidoot's houso to tho capi tol on horseback, without parado or ooremony. But tho country is moving forward in almost everything and the friends of Mr. Garfield wcro bent on a big .parado, and they were gr a ti dod. And now A word about Washington; In 1788 Maryland oodod to tho general govern ment a piooo of territory toa miles squaro, sixty four thousand acres, upon which to build tho city of Washington. A Fronch? man by tho namo of L'Enfant nnd Gone-ul Washington made a pinn for tho city and laid out at OnCo the whole of the territory ?oded hy Maryland for this purpose The plan was beautiful, harmonious and syste matic, so that now with tho plaoo built np, with a population of 170,000. it is ono of tho most handsome places in tho country. Pennsylvania avonuo lends from the Presi dent's houso to the capitol. From this great thorough faro rad?alos an avenue named for every Stato in the Union. Tho streets oro wido and numbered from North to South and lettered from East to Wost. Tho buildings aro marble and brick, (a fow of wood only, ) and many of thom largo and -fine There aro 15,000 ellice holders in tho city. The public buildings arc large, numerous and command attention. Tho capitol is tho largest -built of marblo, and covers nearly four heros of ground.. Tho cost wns $13, lOOO.OOO! Tho domo is of iron, painted white and'throe-hundred foot high. Tho building is magnificent and a full description of it would fill sovoral columns. In addition to tho capitol, tho Treasury, Post Offico, Patont Office, State, War and ?uvy Departments, nnd many othor public buildings, adorn tho oity. [TO Itt: CONTINUED.] The Pardoning Power. The power to respite, commute or pardon portons oonvioted of crime is vested hy tho constitution of every Stato, with moro or loss restrictions in tho Governor. It is a morew fui provision, designed to soften or smooth the rough points of tho law, which without it would ofton smack of oruolty. The law in ila literal sense and Janguago cannot look on crimo with any .degree of allowance, nod often ou-eummancos exist which call for the ox'eroise of executive domeney and which cannot ho considorod hy tho judgo or jury. It la n beneficent power when wisely used, but if abused it may overthrew law and en cou rogo crime We doubt whother any Governor bee over hcon eleoted but would gladly shift from bis shoulders tho responsi bility of tho pardoning power, but the eon ntitution places it there and there- it must remain. Recently Governor Hagood was strongly censured for its exercise and wo then expected to publish this ort ?ole. Tho censure of tho oxecutivo ia seldom just, for hq novnr aofa u.Tcept on strong petitions nnd recommendations, ' The poople aro too roady to sign petitions for excoutivo olomonoy, while they should novor do itexcopt in merit toriona cases. There aro such oases and when tlioy ?riso n? .ono should withhold his recommendation, for tho law Btnackn often of se?erlty under the circumstances. Thorn is no visor provision in tho constitution and H is generally pxoroised ia cases strongly roaommendadt ititmii -~ ? -n..? . ?. Concealod Weapons. Tho Legislature of Illinois has passod a bill imposing heavy punishment for oarry - ina rasore and sling shots, forbidding tho selling or leoding of deadly weapons to mi nors, abd compelling all dealers in snort Weapons to keep an open rogistor showing every salo, to whom mado aud for what pur? po?e purchased. The above law is an improvemont on tho ono passed by our last Legislature, though ours isa good law and properly enforced will .diminish orimo and murder. , Wo think, it will ho enforced fully, though hs yet bonton? oes on violators h?vo been very light. Wo thinlc this is right, as in the onforoemont of tho law lies its virtue, und as it is a now law, not Tully kilowa by tho pooplo light sontonoes is ?mimmtly propor. In the futuro wo ven turo tho opinion violators of the law will culler lo an extent that they will bo taught to fear and respect it. Judge Kershaw, co m mon ting on this law at our recent court, expressed a high appro val of its terms and purpose. Ho traood the origin of tho praotico to the condition of our State immediately after the war, when society waa in a stato of rovolution, tho law? badly administered and no one folt his life secure unless ho had about him the means of pru* tcctlon. lie admitted thorn was then an oxouse for the praotico and it became almost univer sal. In the legislative halls of tho Stato, in tho prosonco of courts of justioo, in stores and on tho streets mon woro soon with pistols buckled around thom. In a Stato nf somi peace we seemed to bo io a state of war, and ur.der tho circumstances of heavy taxation, corrupt legislation and stoaliug, the pooplo bcoamo dospernto and upon a slight affront tho pistol was used. This praotico continued to grow and foed upon itself, liquor coming in to enhance its banofui effects, so that hu man lifo became of little value and was taken on slight provocation. Tho causo hus ceased to exist and the practice should ocaso also. Wo aro io a state of peace and pros perity, tho laws are well and faithfully ad ministered and every man is scoure in tho enjoyment of lifo and liberty. Still under tho inlluenco of liquor and tho ever rendy pistol murders became so frequent that pub lio opinion demanded thc law in terms not to bo denied. In this way it was passed and ut almost every recont court in the Stato some ono bas boon convicted. In tho future its onforccmont will doubtless bo strict and wc warn all our Citizens against its violation. Wo do not think tho praotico ia so common io our county as in other parts of tho Stato, but wo feel it our duty to call attention again to tho law and for tho Inst timo. Manufacturing. Tho snbjeot of engaging in manufacturing industry as a profitablo investment 1ms been for some months agitating tho publie ???'nd of our Stato. In very many of tho counties eubsoriptionn for cotton factories havo been opened and a good showing made. Now comos Columbia and proposes to do what tho city should havo done six or eight years ago, for the people thero had the wator power and tho money to have put a large faotory in op eration years back, while tho railroad advan tages arc superior to those of any place in tho Stato. Hud tho woik been put in ope ration long ngo her population and wealth would havo moro than doubled with a oors tain ty tho investment would pay a good in? tcrcst. Nccossary arrangements havo boon made fur the purchase of tho franchises granted to Thompson & Nagle and steps have beeu taken to develop aud utilizo this valua ble power. Books of subscription havo boon opened and in a fow days ninety-seven thou sand four hundred dollars in stock of tho company wero subscribed. This is a good beginning and looks like tho company in tended to carry out tho project so long talked of. Tho executive committee of the oompany is said to ho composed of wealthy and influential citizens of Columbia, and it is proposed to make it a Stato enterprise by opening books of subscription in Citarlos ton and other placos. A cotton faotory would encourage liko enterprises in other purls of tho State and operate beneficially to the wholo State. That such investments pay has boon demonstrated practically over and over again, and wo express tho hope tho work will net bo abandoned. With the val uable privileges tho company has it may loase to other companies and in a fow years a numbor of factories may dot tho banka of tho Oongnrco, pouring wealth and population into thc city. Tho Northern cities owe in muP.y caucs their ?xistenoe, wealth and population to tho building of faoicftos of nil kinder-While our pooplo with capital enough, with tho staple at their doors and with mi . surpassed wator powers havo boon sitting idly by, suffering tho North to ronp tho profits of our productions. This stato of things wo hopo is coming to an end and that manufactories will bc built in all parts of our Stato. Immigration. In this lies, to a groat extent, the wealth and prosperity of every State. Tho more good laborers wo have ia tho country tho greater will bo our productions and tho less our taxes. In tho immigration of thrifty Germans lies tho wealth nnd prosperity of I'ennuylvunia and many other Northern States. The great West ia being settled and reclaimed by immigrants and generally they are found gool laborers and thrifty citizens, carrying wealth nnd pros perity wherever they* go. They aro the greatest need of our Stato nnd county, in which so muoh land is idlo for want of labor and is open for rent or sale. Wo notice ono hundred arrived in Columbia last week, and hear twenty*fl /o havo como lo our county. Let them como, Gormans, Irish, Scotch or any nationality, for in South Carolina wo havo room "or tens of thousands. Apart from adding to our population and wealth, their coming will make the negro a bolter laborer. Ho feels now wo aro dependent ort his mu8ol and will noither rent, hire nor Work well, bvt? no milers supply his place ho will he a soekc. for labor and do faithful work. If our land owners could tenant their lands with re Hablo while labor tho negro would bc anxious to hire or ront, and thero is onough land hero for all, both white and black, In a fow years, unless we can induoo tho influx of white labor ers, the negro will beaorao moro insolent and thriftless until our productions will be reduced ratltor than increased. In our county wo never kucw a greater demand for labor at good prices ???mm la r.; nv . , r mi w ? jm?mi limn this ye&h Many ounnot get ll, while the negroes flook about the towns doing suoh little jobs as will servo to keep soul and body together. This oonditloa of things cannot and roust not continue and the way to stop it is to briug tn white tenants. Wo bear it is worse below. The negro wants to elsy ?bout cities and towns and will do so on half rations rather than rent and work good land. Wo hope (he (Ide setting in will grow until thousands ooroe and settle lu our State. The Weather.4. , , Perhaps no one oan remember a coktor winter than the past ono noe a later spring than the prosont. To day soaroely a bud has swelled on auy tree exe opt poplars abd maples rind (hoy aro just beginalog to show. Cattle cat? get nothing la tho woods, whito usually by this time loaves are half grown and grass la plentiful. We notice lu many poach orohards there will bo no blooms, tho fruit having boon killed in tho bud. Notwithstanding this our farmers, confident that tho seasons have never failod, aro busy prepar ing their land for large crops of cora and ootlon. Tn.. righi, for whoa spring sets in it will be nt onoo. Thora will bo no lagging of it in tho lap of winter, and the industrious farmer who hus h io land ready cnn .plant his orop at once aud rapidly. Ia the cold winter wo havo tho premise of a good orop year and wo trust (ho promise will bo realised. Another good orop will give us a reat start and enable the farmer to run on tho cash system. Ho will thou muko a profit every year and bo iudopondont. Another Field Day. There was soother "field-doy" io tho United States Senate on tho 24th instant. Tho Democrats having lo6t tho organization of tho Senato, thc Republicans followed up their odvautogo by offering a resolution to proceed to elect tho officers of tho Sonate. Messrs. Davis, of illinois, and Muhono, of Virginia, again assumed moro than their full sbaro of importance. Seoator Davis said he would on this occasion voto with tho Republicans. Maheno did tho same, and to prevent the passage of tho resolu tions tho Democrats commenced to filibus ter. .During tho debato Senator Brown, of Georgia, argued that tho two parties io the country wero so evenly divided that some of tho offices of the government should be filled by Democrats, aud refered to tho fact that a Domcoratio Seuato had two years ago retained one-half of tho ofJiocs thoo in office. Ho waa here interrupted by Senator Logan with a question as to what his opiuious had been upon civil service reform when ho had been Republican Governor of Georgia. Senator Brown replied that ho had 1 never been a Republican Governor, though admitting that he had once been a Republi can, aod retorted \}J o question ?S tn why Senator Logan, since he hnd onoo been a Democrat, did not come bock nnd act with the Democratic party. Several amusing passages occured be? tween the two Senators as to their previous political records', after which Senator Brown continued with his speech, and refering to tho notion of Muhone in voting with thc Republican porty, ho said that everybody knew (hut the air was full of rumors of bnr guius and contracts aud all that. Ho did nut know whether they existed or not, but the very fact that tho Republicans were so impatient to put in their officials, end thc other fact os to their connection with tho Senator who now controlled tho Senate should cause gcutlemcn to pause. The country would ask why this haste was made. A great, many people thought that there was on undemanding bctweou the Republicans and the Senator from Virginia by which he wus to havo the patronago of Virginia. Ho did not koow anything about that. It would appear better utidor these, circumstances that this matter bo postponed for tho present. Continuing, Senator Brown said that tho recent action of tho Republican party nod the Senator from Virginia has Bhown that the period hud been reached when no moro would bo said about Confederate Brigudiers. That period hud been reached that was spoken of by a very old book when it said : "The wolf also shall dwell with tho lamb nnd tho leopard shall lio down with the kid nnd tho calf and the young lion and tho fatting together, and o little child shall lead them." That period had boen reached when tho lion of Debt paying Republicanism and tho lamb of Readjustment and partial Repudiation had lain down in ?t loving embrace together, on green pastures of luxuriant richness. He I would pot say that a little child, or a little genorui, should lea? thSS?j but that a gallant Confederate g?nerai would load theT [Laughter] Ho hoped thal day had com" when thc bloody chasm had been bridged and when that old bloody-shirt, of which so much hod been heard, would bo folded and hurried beyond tho hopo o? resurrec tion. Seoator Johnston argued agatust, tho right of the Vice-President to voto upon tko organization of tho Son?te. Tho war of words lasted until 4 o'olock and ended just where it begco. The Demo cratic stand was that this was a session for executive business only, and that a reor* g.mizition of officials had nothing to do with il. The Republican idea was that it being a Republican Sennte every offlco bolonged to them by right, and that cvory placo flori) Secretary lo pago wus part und puracl of tho Republican Senato organiza tion. Toward tho close of tho discussion Gov. Brown, of Georgia, said to tho Radicals that (ho Democrats could prevent tho offi ces being filled until December next. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, said that filibuster ing wus revolutionary ood oharrjod it upon the Douioorat8.' Senator Brown replied that tho Democrats wero following thc example of tho Republicans who filibustered for two weeks and until they had tho strength to organize tho Scndte. Tho facts aro it hos only boon a fow years since tho previous question was called in tho Sonate. Herctoforo in so gravo and deliberativo o body disoussion prooecdod until ell tho Senators wen) ready to vote. Now, not only tho proviens' question is culled, but filibustering is resorted to in that body to gain time. Wo aro sony tho Democrats havo followed the bud example of tho Republicans in thia rospcot.

A fear was also expressed hy some (hut tho route would bo branched off ot sorno point and proceed to Bristol, leaving Knox vi! lo out in the cold. All theso fears aud flighty views wore entertained io tho fnoo of tho otero facts that both tbo Louisval e nud Knoxville and Ohio Railroad Cotupsuics oro bound in solemn contract to complote tho work to Carey ville, aod that throe eopurate and dist ?not parties of survey hu ve been constantly at work locating tho linc all tito while. Tho advertisements published oall for bids for tho construction of tho entire un graded portiou of the proposed Hoe, from Caroyville to tho Kcutuoky State line, which is twenty-seven milos, crossing the entire! range of the Cumberland Mountain. The advertisement also includes bids for tho crosstics for twulvo miles from Caroyville to Elk Gap. But this is uot nil. Tho notion ?S simultaneous. Col. C. M. MoG hoe, presi dent of the Knoxville sud Ouio Road, , received information by telegraph yesterday that tho Louisville popers of this morning will ooutoin tho advertisement for bids on thu Kentucky portion of tho proposed con nection from tho Stute lino Northward. Thus tho bids on the entire lino aro to bo dosed at noon, April 18, 1881, aod every thing is expected to bo io readiness for tho work to begin at on carly day theieaftcr, giving the contractors tho advaotago of the catiro Bummer for tho work. In the samo connection M nj or McCallo, a constructing engineer for tho East Tennes see, Virginia and Goorgii Railroad, adver tises for bids for building four and a half miles of road aod constructing two impor tant bridges over tbo Frcnoh Broad, on tho line of thc company's North Carolina ex tention, from Wolf Creek to Paint Rock.

CORUIN FOR MARSHAL.-There seems to bc quito a rush for the position of Unitod States Marshals in different sections of tho country. A number of those who Bro holding these positions oro now io tho city aod arc striving hard for reappointment.
