TW? UKANGEBITCG NEWS S?TUBDAY, JAN. 29,1870. MALCOLM f. BROWNING, fiditor. . Virginia Bestored. ': ^ . ? ' .4 Tho bill for tho rcadmissinn of the State of Virginia to tho Union was passed in Congress, on the 22d. The announcement of tho fact was the signal for great rejoicing at Richmond. A salute of a hundred guns was fired in honor of the - ovent. Several thousand persons wero present. National flags were raised on the capitol. Governor "Walker made a speech congratulating tho people and predicting a glorious fu tuto for the Stute. A colored conservative made a speech to the same effect. Concession after concession was made, uud Virginia is admitted, upon terms, to the Union, of which, a free soverei n, she contributed so largely to establish, and which she adorned. Tlie "Mother of Presidents" the homo and tho grave of Washington, subjected to terms, nud permitted to return, to her nllogiancc to her conquerors 1 Alus! days of yore, notions of State rights, obligation!) of contract*, recogni tion of rights, of sovereigns, spirit of the Constitution, alas! all these, whero arc they ? Echo answers, They ure glim mering with the things that were. The genius of this Union, mcthiuks, must hover around the grave of Washington ; as the whole theory and fact of its ex is tence is associated with his name; and yet how unnatural, how passing strange this spot, hallowed with its associations, identified in its wreathed memory of pa triotism, would bo reduced to the status of a territory. Stripped of her sov ereign rights and prerogatives nud hum bled conquered suppliant, Virginia pleads of her conquerors, and is re-nd luitted by their sufferance, to the posi tion of her rights. Changed, changed be thy device, Vir ginia, and iustcad of defiance and tri umph, express iu beauteous and eloquent symbol, the language of suppliuncc and appeal. Instead of the uttitudc of erect victo- , ry, thy heel upon the tyrant's neck, pros trate, prone upon the earth ; ncsumc that of supplication, kneeling bring the re cord of thy devotion to the Union of the past, hear in thy arms, and resting on thy boAom the urus, wherein the ashes of thy. sons, the Presidents arc stored. And around the eloquent device, bo engraven no longer the proud motto, "Thus to tyrants !" but changed, alas ! lot tho circumscription read : " 1 ue IV tes !" Wo to the conquered ! IIow times change, and relative posi tions alter! The sovereign, the peer of yesterday, becomes the suppliant uf to day ! ? The wrong of yesterday is the right to-day ! Pointing to tho establishment of this Uniou of States, this compact of sov ereigns, like thine own Washington, ?'the first in war, the first in poace," re hearsing the history of thy country, of which you may say, "quorum magna pars fui" let these plead for thee, Vir ginia, aad, thy sister States, ouee thy equals, uow thy eouqnerors cannot resist tho uppeal. They may impose condi tions, revolting to tho logic of the p.'st, but still they will admit her. Whero is he now, who talks of love for this great Union? Are not all its tend-jrest, holiest, brightest associations wtcathed around Virginia; are not its relics, its archives, deposited with her, does not its great father sleep 'ncath her soil ? And yet, theso lovers and pcrpet uators of their Union, would revel over humiliation, would reduce her to a con quered territory, would turn tho spirit and tenor of its Constitution, into an in strument of ruffian force, and apply its keenest edge to her bosom. Methiuks this love for this great Union, is the canting blasphemy of the holy name of patriotism ! The spirit of this Union has departed, and its love is changed to an unholy thing. Nouo lovo this Union 1 Thoso States which have coovood their sister States, lovo not the VWi-jii, but thev love tho tribute of snp pliance and of wealth extorted from them. Query. IIow is any one to give bond and se curity to prosecute, appear, or keep the pence ? Tho Homestead; Law exempts from levy or sale under any execution, real estate to the amount of 81000 and per sonalty to the amount of $500. Judge Carpenter at tha last term of the Court decided that no Magistrate or other offt eor should accept ao-y one as security to any bond unless tho party was worth the amount of the peoalty of the bond over and obove the property thus exempted by tho Homestead. It is true that tho Constitution of tfie State, Sec. 16, Art. 3t, says that "exces sive bail shall not, in any case, be re quirod," but unless the security is worth tue ;uutm?i rrq:;ircd, ever ?sd ?b?- tha Homestead exemption, it is ns secaroy at all. Every ono is to be considered as worth nothing, except what he is worth over Homestead. Now those who are worth anything over this exemption, are inclined to be scarce, in this section at least. So that unless tho few, who are worth something over the Homestead, will become securi ty for everybody, where ia anybody to get security ? ? Every oue who comes to prosecute, an less ho can find one of theae 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 defendant was tried. Perhaps they would never find the de fendant, aud the prosecution would re mni.i in jail a life time. What a fearful dilemma I Severe Storm in Charleston.? A very heavy and unseasonable storm of rain and thuudcr visited Charleston on Monday night last. The rain poured in torrents from 11 o'clock until four The lightning was very severe; one building in 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 conic, and that, in ten years woman will have this right. Doings In Columbia. The following bills have been intro duced aud read a first time : A bill to exempt from taxation for five years all manufuctori s of cotton and woollen fabrics; a bill to require foreign insu rance agencies to pay a license for solic iting or taking insurance in this State? it provides that the County Commission ers may issue licenses for ono hundred dollars payable annually.

The bill to provide the mode for per petuating testimony relative to wills, Jeeds, &c, destroyed during the war, waa 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 tho year between November 1808 aud November 1869, (consisting of 850,000 besides the capitation tax,) the claims of teachers for services rendered during the said year, at the rate five i-ents per day for each scholars actual ittcudancc; and that any one making a Talsc 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 on Tues day March 1st, has been adopted. The bill to designate, tho officers by whom sales ordered by Court of Common Picas and Probate shall be made, was passed and its title changed to an act. DeLarge introduced a bill to incorpor ate the Mayor aud Aldermen of Char leston as a stock jobbing institution. The Hon.

On Mtiuuay h? rem a;;;.' were, carried to Columbia, and in com pliment to his memory, both houses, after adopting resolutions, Tributes respect, adjourned, and went in a body to tho depot to meet his remains. The body was carried to Lexington, tho 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 the first South Carolinia of any prominence who, joined the radical party. Itequiescttt in puce. Wednesday, l?t? inst. is represented as a field day in tho Senate. The ques tion was on the Charleston extension bill, and in tho debate, the City Coun cil and especially, the Maokeys reeeived some hard licks from Corbin Wimbush, Nash and others. Old A. G. Mackey was in the Gallery during the debate, but soon found it getting too hot for him and left. The bill was indefinitely postponed. Corbin introduced s bill to limit, the cost of criminal prosecution, which pro vides that the fees of only tl.ee witneaaea shall bo taxed by the State, unlesa their materiality shall first be certified by the Solicitor, ia the- trial of oases before Magistrates ami Justices, and that no Magistrate shall receive fees for binding ovor more than three witnesses in a criminal ease to appear befoce the Ses sions Court unless tdtenr matesiaJtfty is certified tov as above. Jamas iataodueed a bill to. prevent persons undue a, oejttain. age from, mac rying. A bill was introduce*] to prevent the taking of bail lu murder cosed. AM 4imuillAHX" 1/tVIMVI.?lira pro rue Court of the United 8tatee on Monday, decided, Mr. Justice Sway no d? liveriug the opinion, that the plea of au thority conferred by the Confederate State? for the iudictmeut and arreat of parties, was no defence in an action for damages resulting from such proceed ings. Thie decision was in the case of Hick man vs. Bett a and others, who, as officers of the court and grand jurors, had indicted and arrested the defendant for treason agninat the Confederate Statea. The cause came irotn the Circuit Court for the Northern District of Ala bama, where the acta complained of were done during the war. The court below held that the authority of the Confeder ate Statea was a justification. The Su preme Court reveiaed the judgement and remanded the cause. Hard Timm.?Under thia head the Suffolk Sun gives several severe hits to the hard times gruinblera: The cry of hard times, scarcity ofj money, and such expressions, has become to us rather sickening. We do not be lieve half that people aay in reference to the times. Everybody is busy, and yet all the time complaining. Our people dress as well as they ever did. Their ta bles, as a general thing, are loaded with plenty. Meats, vegetables, fruits, and pastries in nbuudance. Why such con stant complaining ? The times are al ways hard to some people. And in the most prosperous seasons in the history of j our country, there have been some un fortunate poor persons in every commu nity with whom the times were always 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 theirtcovetousness. We are sick of it. The Legislature has elected the fol lowing persons as Regents for the Luna tic Asylum of this state: A. U. Markcy, Joseph Crews and Henry Spsroick, (white), Beverly Nnsh, B.F. Boeetnan, Joseph Taylor, 11. C. Delarge, S. B. Thonpson and K. B. Elliott, colored. A Masonic Female College has been opened at Cokcsbury. S. C, under the Presidency of A. J. Strafford. The Baruwcll Journal says: we have had rain throughout the district every day for the past week, and our planters are anxiously waiting for it to clear off so that they can commence operations for the new year. nopxrui..?We design making our pa per larger and more worthy the support of its patrons, but indulge the fond hope that the list of gratuitous readers will not increase, and are very hopeful that the many borrowers, not only in town but country, will subscribe for a paper for themselves, aud not read their neigh bors' to our diaadvantage. The man who borrows a newspaper must surely come to a bad end some time. An Important case has recently been tried in Edgefield, where one man sued another for enticing off his negro labor era. The Jury made the Defendant pay 8300.00 damages aud all costs. It was alleged that the ucgrows 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. Tin Orleans Family in Franc*.? The favors the Orleans family are enjoy ing, says a Paris correspondent, form one of the significant signs of the times. Many of the moat eminent men of tbe French empire are staunch supporters of the family, and it is generally believed that M M. Jul .s Favre, Jules Simon, Ernest Picard and ot hers 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 tho Senate, praying a repeal of the laws which exile the houses of Bourbon and Orleans, and while it is j deemed certain tint the petition will be rejected, it is believed that it will help the feeling in favor of the latter. This feeling has boon strikingly manifested on the occasion of the funeral of the Duchess D'Aumale, in England, when hrmdredsof Frenchmen orossedtho chan nel to attend it; aud again at the cele bration of the mass in St Ferdinaud's Chapel, at Neuilly, which was attended by 2,000 persous. Quite as imposing a demonstration is also anticipated at Chantilly. where still another funeral sorviea is to be celebrated. Qeueral J. M. Withers, formerly a Major General in the Confederate army, and who waa Mayor ol Mobile during the riot two or three years ago, and waa removed by Major General Pope, has assumed the duties of editor of the Mo bile Tribune.
