THE OjMNGjlBukG iNiJiWS ^SATURDAY, JAN. 29,1870. MALCOLM I. Ji HOW NINO, Editor. Virginia Restored. The bill for tho rcaduiissinn of the State of Virginia to tho Union wub passed in Congress, on tho 22d. The announcement of the fact was the signal for great rejoicing at Richmond. A salute of a hundrod guns was fired in honor of the - event. Several thousand persons were present. National flags wcro raised on the cupitol. Governor Walker made a speech congratulating tho people and predicting a glorious in to i o for the State. A Colored conservative made n speech to the same effect. Concession after concession was made, and Virginia is admitted, upon terms, to the Union, of which, a free sovcrci n, she contributed so largely to establish, and which she adorned. The "Mother of Presidents" tho home and the grave of Washington, subjected to terms, aud l>cnnitte<l to return, to her allegiance to her oonqucrors ! Alus! days of yore, notions of State rights, obligations of contracts, recogni tion of rights, of sovereigns, spirit of the Constitution, alas ! all these, whero arc they? Echo answers, They are glim mering with the things that were. The genius of this Union, mcthiuks, must, hover around the grave of Washington ; as the whole theory aud fact of its exis tence is associated with his name; and yet how ntiuatural, how passing strange this spot, hallowed with its associations, identified in its wreathed memory of pa triotism, would he reduced to the status of a territory. Stripped of her sov ereign rights- and prerogatives and hum bled conquered Suppliant, Virginia pleads of her Conquerors, and is re-ad luitted by their Bufloruuce, to the posi tion of her rights. Changed, changed be thy device, Vir ginia, and iustcad of defiance aud tri umph, express iu beauteous and eloquent , symbol, the languago of suppliance and appeal. Instead of the attitude of erect victo- . ry, thy heel upon the tyrant's neck, pros tr?te, prone upon the ?turth ; nrsuuic that of supplication, kneeling bring the re cord of thy devotion to the Union of the ; past, hear in thy arms, and resting on 1 thy botom the urns, wherein the ashes ' of thy. sons, the Presidents arc stored. And around the eloquent device, be eugraven no longer the proud motto, i "Thus to tyrants !" but changed, alas ! lot the circumscription read : " Vae Vic tes !" . Wo to the conquered ! How times change, and relative posi tions alter! Tho sovereign, the peer of yesterday, becomes the suppliant of to- ' day !.! The wrong of yesterday is the right to day ! Poiuting to the establishment of this ' Union of States, this compact of sov ereigns, like thiuo own Washington, "the first in war, the first in peace," re hearsing the history of thy country, of which you may say, "quorum magna 2>ars fui," let these plead for thee, Vir ginia, and thy sister States, ouee thy equals, uow thy eouqeerors cannot resist the appeal. They may impose condi tions, revolting to tho logic of the past, but still they will admit her. Where is he now, who talks of love for this great Uniou ? Arc not all its tenderest, holiest, brightest associations wteathed nround Virginia; are uot its relics, its archives, deposited with her, does not its great father sleep 'ncath her Boil 1 And yot, these lovers and pcrpet uators of their Union, would revel over humiliation, would reduce her to a con quered territory, would turn the spirit and tenor of its Constitution, into an in strument of ruffian force, and apply its keenest edge to hor bosom. Methink.3 this love for this great Uniou, is the canting blasphemy of the holy name of patriotism ! The spirit of this Union has departed, aud its love is changed to an unholy thing. Nouo lovo this Union I Thoso States which huve coerced their sister States, iovo not the Union, but they lovo the tribute of sup pliaaeo si>d of wealth extorted from them. Query. IIow is any one to give bond and se curity to prosecute, appear, or keep the peace ? Tho Homestead; Law exempts from levy or sale under any execution, real estate to the amount of $1000 and per sonalty to the amount of $500. Judge Carpenter at the last terra of the Court decided that no Magistrate or other offi cer should aooept aay one as security to any bond unless tha party was worth the amount of the penalty of the bond over and above that property thus exempted by the Homestead. It is true that the Constitution of uue State, Sec. 16, Art. 1, says that "exces sive hail shall not, in any ease, be re quired," hut unless the security is worth *he required, over and ahove tho Hemcatead czciapiWHi, it is M sc^?rity at all. Every one is to be considered aa worth nothing, except what ha is worth over Homestead. Now those who are worth anything over this exemption, are inclined to ha scarce, in this section at least. So that unless tho few, who are worth something over tho Homestead, will become securi ty for everybody, where is anybody to got security ? Every one who cornea to prosecute, un less he can find one of these scarce secu rities will have to go to jail, until the case is tried. One would think that every few would appear as prosecutors, if they had to lie in jail until the defondant was tried. Perhaps they wonld never find the de fendant, nud the prosecution would re main in jail a life time. What a fearful dilemma ! Severe Storm in Charleston.? A very heavy nud unseasonable storm of ruin aud thuudcr visited Charleston on Moudny night last. The rain poured in torrents from 11 o'clock until four The lightning was very severe; one building iu King Street was struck and shattered. Woman's Suffrage.?A petition has been sent to Congress from Massachu setts, praying that a sixteenth amend ment to the Constitution be adopted, giving to women the right of voting. Prominent politicians predict that it must come, and that, in ten years woman will have this right. Boings In Columbia. Tho following bills have been intro duced and read a first time : A bill to exempt from taxation for five years all nuitiufuctori s of cotton and woollen fabrics; a bill to require foreign insu rance agoneics to pay a license for solic iting or taking insurance in this State? it provides that the Coutity Commission ers may issue licenses for ono hundred dollars pay-able annually. The following were read a second time: A bill to provide for paying coroners juries, aud a joint resolution to provide medical aid to indigent sick in tho dif ferent Counties in tho State. The bill to provide the mode for per pctuating testimony relative to wills, ( deeds, &o., destroyed during the war, was read a first time in the Senate. The Joint Committee on Education have reported a bill which received its first reading, which provides that the ' State Treasurer pay out of the funds appropriated for the support of free schools, for the year between November 1808 nud November 1869, (consisting , of ?50,01)0 besides the capitation tar,) the claims of teachers for services rendered during the said year, at the rate five cents per day for each scholars actual attendance; and that any one making a false or fraudulent claim shall be fined a sum not less than twice the sum of such claims. The concurrent resolution for the adjournment of the Legislature oo Tues day March 1st, has been ?.doptcd. The bill to designate, tho officers by whom sales ordered by Court of Common Pleas r*ud Probate shall be made, was passed and its title changed to an act. DcLarge introduced a bill to incorpor ate the Mayor and Aldermen of Char leston as a stock jobbing institution. Tho Hon. Lemuel Boozer, Judge of the Fifth Circuit died at Camden on Sunday morning, 23rd, after an illness of five days. On Monday his remains wore, carried to Columbia, and in com pliment to his memory, both houses, alter adopting resolutions, Tributes respect, adjourned, and went in a body to the depot to meet his remains. The body was carried to Lexington, the birth place of the deceased, where the funeral took place on Tuesday. Judge Boozer was in the Sixty-third year of his age. He was tho first South Caroliuia of any prominence who, joined I the radical party. Requieteat in puce. Wednesday, 19th inst. is represented as a field da" in the Sc?iie. The -".lis I tion was on the Charlestob extension bill, and in tho debate, the City Coun cil and especially, the Maokeys received Homo hard licks from Corbin Wimbush, Nash and others. Old A. Q. Mackey was in the Gallery during the debate, hut soon found it getting too hot for him and left The bill was indefinitely postponed. v' urbin introduced a bill to limit the cost of criminal prosecution, whieh pro vides that the fees of only three witnesses shall be taxed by the State, unless their materiality shall first he certified by the Solicitor, in the trial of oases before Magistrates aud Justices, and that no Magistrate shall receive fees for binding over more than three witnesses in a criminal cuse to appear befote the Ses sions Court Bales* *!?? sr suatcriakay is certified toy as above. James i?twi&uetd a bill to- prevent persons undto a oeatain. age from, mac rying. A bill was introduced to prevent the taking of bait iu murder caeca. premc Court of the United States on Monday, decided, Mr. Justice Swayne dt livering the opinion, that the plea of au thority conferred by the Confederate States for the indictment and arrest of parties, was no defence in an action for damages resulting from such proceed ings. This decision was in the ease of Hick man vs. Betts and others, who, as officers of the court and grand jurors, had indicted and arrested the defendant for treason against the Confederate States. The cause came from the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Ala batna, where the acts complained of were done during the war. The court below held that tho authority of the Confeder ate States was a justification. The Su preme Court reveiscd the judgement aud remanded the cause. Hard Times.?Under this head tie Suffolk Sun gives several severe hits to the hard times grumblers: The cry of hard times, scarcity of money, and such expressions, has become to us rather sickening. We do not be lieve half that people say in reference to the times. Everybody is busy, and yet all the time complaining. Our people dress as weil as they ever did. Their ta bles, as a general thing, are loaded with plenty. Meats, vegetables, fruits, snd pastries in abundance. Why such con stant complaining ? The times are al ways hard to some people. And in the most prosperous seasons in the history of our country, there have been some un fortunate prior persons in every commu nity with whom the times were slways hard. This will always be so. But the truth is, the constant cry of hard times is with most people, a simple cloak to cover np their^ovctousncss. We are sick of it . The Legislature has elected the fol lowing persons as Regents for the Luna tic Asylum of this state: A. O. Markcy, Joseph Crews and Henry Sparnick, (white), Beverly Nash, B.F. Boeeman, Joseph Taylor, B. C. Del arge, S. B. Tbonpson and K. B. Elliott, colored. A Masonic Female College has been opened at Cokcsbury. S. C, under the Presidency of A. J. Strafford. The Barnwell Journal says: we have bad rain throughout the district every day for the past week, and our planters are anxiously waiting for it to clea- off so that they can commence opera it us for the new year. HorEFiiL.?We design making our pa per larger and more worthy the support of its patrons, hut indulge the fond hope that the Hat of gratuitous renders will not increase, and are very hopeful that the many borrowers, not only in town but country, will subscribe for a paper for themselve?, aud not read their neigh bors' to our disadvantage. The man who borrows a newspaper must surely come to a bad end some time. An Important case has recently been tried in Kdgefield, where one man sued another for enticing off his negro labor ers. The Jury made the Defendant pay ?300.00 damages aud all costs. It was alleged that the negrows were entic ed off, or hired by the Defendant about the last of January, after they had been already hired and set to work by the Plaintiff. The parties to this suit were neighbors. M??a>-?????? Tue Orleans Family in France.? The favors the Orleans family are enjoy ing, says a Paris correspondent, form one of the significant signs of the times. Many of the most eminent men of the French empire are staunch supporters of the family, and it is generally believed that M M. Jul s Favre, Jules Simon, Ernest Picard and others will strenuously exert themselves to secure their ultimate restoration. It is said that the Em peror dreads the family with a sort of phobia. M. Denuucques has presented a second petition to the Senate, praying a repeal of the laws which exile the houses of Bourbon and Orleans, and while it is deemed certain that the petition will be rejected, it is believed that it will help ? Le> fiwdin?? in f?vr?r of tho l?*?er ThtS ? ~ ---- o , " feeling has bcon strikingly manifested on the occasion of the funeral of the Ducheas D'Aumale, in England, when hundreds of Frenchmen crossed tho chan nel to attend it; aud again at the cele bration of the mass in St Ferdinand's Chapel, at Ncuilly, which was attended by 2,000 persons. Quite aa imposing a demonstration is also anticipated at 1 Chantilly, whore still another funeral I service is to be celebrated. General J. M. Withers, formerly a Major General in the Confederate army, and who was Mayor oi Mobile during the riot two or three years ago, and was removed by Major General Pope, haa assumed the duties of editor of the Mo bile Tribune. General Joseph E. Johnston has defi nitely declined to accept the proffered Presidency of the f uiversity of Nash ville, Tonn., as his business engagements are such that ha cannot with honor ask a release from them.
