LESLIE AND THE MILITIA BILL-A NO VEL PROCEDURE-THE SAVANNAII AND CIHARLESTON RAILROA DUII.I, THE OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEREON-ITS EARLY PAS SAGE PROBABLE. COLUMBIA, S. C., February 11. The militia'bill came up again before the Senate to-day. The original bill has been committed, recommitted and referred so many times as to almost lose its identity. It was passed by the House at the special session, sent to the Senate, received its first read ing, and then quietly laid over until the regular session. To-day it was taken up for the fourth time with the report of the committee. Swails, chairman of the Committee on,the Military, made an able and vigorous speech in favor of the iime diato passage of the bill, but some friends of the measure were out "cat ting groundnuts" just when the mat ter came up, so Mr. Leslie obtained the floor, and gradually growing warmer and more earnest as lie spoke, produced such an effect on some luke warm senators as to be able to carry his point by a majority one vote. He described the affair as a big job to be pressed through for the purposo of giving a few individuals fine uniforms, brass buttons, big cocked hats, spurs, white horses, and big salaries to pay electioneering expenses. But he warned Republican senators that it would be the most powerful weapon that could be used to defeat the 1te publican party, and that muster day, with a little whiskey, would afford a splendid opportunity for the Demo orats to test the merits of their Win chester eighteen-shooters. lIe moved that the bill be referred to a special committee of one, consisting of the senator from Barnwell, with instruo tions to report a substitute, and that the same be made the special order for Tuesday next. Swails roso to a point of order and desired the dieision of the president on the question whether, as against all parliamentary practice, a bill could be referred to a member who was opposed to it in tote, as in the case of the senator f omn BA:rnwell. At the request of the senator from Williamsburg, the rule relative to the question as laid down in Jeff'er son's Manual, page 8.1, was read by the clerk. The president decided that, as a question of parliamentary law, it had no direct application in this ease. The senator from Barnwell had ex pressed himself not wholly opposed to the bill, but simply to some of its features. After some attempts at "filibuster ing," Leslie's motion prevailed. On motion of Mr. Leslie, it was Resoired, That the message of his Excellency the Governor, No. 32, arnd the bill therein referred to, be refer red to the Judiciary Committe, to re port whether the bill had or had not become a law by reason of its non return to the Senate by his Excellen cy within the time prescribed by the constitution with his approval or dis appeoval, and that they report on Tniesday next, and that their report, bill and communication or message, be made the special order for that * dIn the House, Sasportas, from the Committee on Engrossed Acts, report ed as duly and correctly engrossed for a third reading a bill to amend an net entitled "An act to regulate the manner of keeping and disbursing funds by certain officers." The bill was taken up, read the third time, passed and ordered to be sent to the Senate. C. D. Hlayne introdoced the follow ing resolutian, which was adopted : Resoltted, That the Committee Ju diciary is hereby requested to report as early as practicable on a bill refer red to them to punish persons violat ing Section 3 of Article XVI 'of the amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

The Savaiti; i and Charleston )ta road t )ontpaty have tietmorialized t Legislature for permission to issue to bonds for the carnpletion of the ro: and for the post ponement by the Stn of its statutory lien on the road, so il the same shall work hereafter as x s ond lien instead of a first lien. The question submitted to me far et sideration is: Can tho State lega effect such postponement of its 4i without tihe assent, of tie parties holdi the bonds goar'antceed by the State? The stlatutory liei wi :hIh the Sin holds is its idemnity against the liabili incurred. Th'le conitract of icdeni is thIe bowil mtade bcet weent the St ate-I suiretyv antd thle debtor-thle corporamo anid it is clear that -t h->s who are cot p'teint, to miake a ecniract are comnpetL by mrutual consent, to alter or vary t terms of it. *Conteoding the equlitab)le doctri wich' allows the creditor to be subhrog ted to, and to avail himself of, alli seerint ies held by thle surety, (Dearn vs. Earl of WVinc~hel'ea ; Leadinhg Cat in l'eqcity, 8; ; Wright vs. Marley, Wesey, 21) the doctrinio goes nto fttrtl: than to enuttle lie creditor to the bet fit of the securnitie*s whiose surety I ls tis ant equiity growinig out parties, not a right derived from cc tract. But the eotttract for idemnity is contract between thte eurety anid t Idebtor, to whlicht they alc,no are part it and( as tIhe surety is the piarty to be p: tected, ii, is for him aloite to deelt'e up, lhe termis and measures of I.is idemnmil Although the creditor may derive bu' fit from thte idemnity, it is otnly incudt tally, and th rough the surely,' that derives it. iTe cannot, stipulante for hi self or his interests, but must aiccept tI: which the surety has accepted as a suf cientt idemnnity. Hie is ent itled, in word, to the securities which the sure holds, but not to determine what th<c secutrities shalh be. Any other constri Lion would make the idemnit.y of t surety depend, niot upon his ownju ment or his own contract, but upon t assent of one (the creditor) who was r a partyv to tho conitract. ''Te considerations above stated b come much strontger when applied to State. To aid a work of great public ntilit the State indorses the bonds of the cc poratiotn. To secure the bondholde she pledges the faith and credit oft State for' the puncetual paymen:t of t bonid. Thie indorsemenit of the State the security, upon the faith of which t bond is taken. To0 secutro herself from loss by thei dorsement, the State imiposes a statute lien utpont the property of the corpoi tion. But it is competentt for the Sta with the assent of the corporation, to, ter the terms of the contract ; or it cn repeal altogether the law creating t lien. Thie considerationis of policy tund which thie lien was enacted may ha (!easedl to exist. A dute regard to t public benefit, thte protection of t State anud the interest of the corporati nmty require thaut the law enacting t lio'n should be reoealed. : Thes are mc ters.>f puiblic policy, and the consider tion andl determination of them beho solely to the Legisfature, and, if th deem it proper, the a ran', the I 1- may bo repealed or-modified. The only limitation imposed upon the power of I Legislature to repeal existing laws is s that the repeal shall not divest vested is rights, and shall not impair the obliga. o Lion of the contract. 3. )oes the post ponenent of the lien in c this case do either? 1- As has already been stated, the credi. - tor has no vested right in the security g which t ho surety holds. He has more d ly an equity to be subrogated to then if 1- they exist and as they exiat; and a v- change of security which the 8uroty ro e -nrds as beneficed and affording addi. tional idemnity cannot, in any sense, be regarded as irm 'airing any right. which the credi'.or ha.: : nd still less can it he considered a yes.-d r.1 ihr, c Neither does i Iosl ponfn'll'fni. impair . the olligtz ion of lhe c.ilrael ; for Ihe Contract of the t ,lhol'a r i ill i i bond, and th:' 4'b,li.1l!i:)n of tlat i' iot o imlpaired, but is reg.. d, adi atiddl ly tional protection is solght. to be given I t. to it. 1e The piactice of the Stnte hI is also te been in conformity to the views here Df expressed. 1- In 189.5, when gnaranlet ing the :- bonds of the Lounisville ameh Cieinnati 0.

For -Bome time past efforts have been nade by the friends of the late John Wilkes Booth, who was killed by Ser reant Corbett a short distance South )f the Rappahannock some ten days after the assssination of Abraham Lincoln, to obtain his remains for )urial. His remains wore removed o Washington, and by order of the Luthorities interred in the Arsenal grounds. For a long time, all knowl 3dge of the place of the deposit of is remains wais kept from the public, and it was not known until they were hiutmed and reinterred, with those A Mrs. Ssarratt and others who wore ,xeonutcd by order of a military com msionbi',n for alleged complicity in the isms:sination of the Pre.ident. From that time Mr. Booth's friends have not ceased in their efforts to obtain he body that it might have Cbristiau burial and a resting plie by the side )f bi father (the late Junius Brutvy Booth,) in Baltimore cemetery. Iis brother, Mr. Edwin B>oth, has also used every exertion to accompllish the iesire of the family, and last week he 3Ent by Mr. John Il. Weaver, the undertaker on Fayette-street., in this sity, a letter to President Johnson gain pressing his request. On Friday M1r. Weaver went to Washingtbn and 1llivered the letter to the President, tnd at the same time expressed a de ire to be permitted to at once obtain possession of the remains.' After reading the letter from Mr. Edwin Booth the President remarked that it was a serious matter and one that be would have to take into considava tion, promising, however, to give him 0 final answer on Monday'. On Monday-morning Mr. Weaver returned to Washington and called on the President, who then gave him an )rddr for the body. To guard against zny delay, Mr. Weaver took the order 3f the President to the War Depart ment, where it was countersigned by the Assistant Adjutant General. ''hus Armed with authority, he proceeded to the Arsenal. The following is a copy of the order: WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHIINOTON, Feb. 15, 1869. To Brigadier General Ramsey, Con mandiug at Arssunal The President directs that you give ver the body of John Wilkes ilooth o the bearer, Mr. John H. Weaver, 3exton of Christ Churel, Baltimore, o be by him taken in charge for pro ?er rointermont. Please report the xecution of this order. (Signed) B. D. TowNsEND, Assistant Adjutant-General. The order was Issued at 3 o'clock in ,he afic noon, and at 4 o'clock Mr. Weaver, accompanied by Messrs. Mirr & Harvey, undertakers, of Washington, drove into the Arsenal ;rounds. The order was delivered to captain Phipps, the officer of the lay, who after a short delay directed the 9rder to be executed. Mr. Wea ver then proceeded to the warehouse, the iron doors of which were opened, xnd he was led to a side room, under he floor of which the remains of John Wilkes Booth had been laid. In he centre of the rooni the ordinary flagstone flooring had been taken up, md had not been repilaced sinee the :lisinterament of the remains of Mrs. Burratt and of Herold a week be Fore. All the bodies had been taid in a trench fifteen feet long and five Feet deep. Capt. Phipps gave in Formation of -the position of the re mains, which lay at the farther end. A. file of soldiers was then ordered to bhe work, .and in .three-quarters of on bour they had the box which contain 3d the last of John Wilkes Booth, so that it could be raised by the aid of books inserted under the ends. .The box was found in a good state of pre mervation. Soon after the box -was placed in another box, arnd started for the depot :o be brought to Baltimore. The body was dressed in a dark blue over yoat, vest and pantaloons, such as were supposed to have been worn by aim at the time he received his death wound. On his right foot was a boot, ad on the loft, the one injured by bis jump from the box of the theatre o the stage at the time of the assassi riation, was a shoe or brogan. The body when exposmed to view showed that the flesh was entirely gone. The1 beeth, whiehm were very .perfect, were ompletely p reserved, and a quantity >f long, curlyb back hiair still remain 3d. The entire body was wrapped in heavy dark blankets, which were also well preserved. In his vest pooket were found two buttons and a pistol iartridge. These were the only arti sles found on-his person. As soon as the box containing the remains were placed in the wagon, it was driven, to bhe depot, without having excited any mttentlon, as the whole proceeding was perfectly quiet. Mr. Weaver reached this city after ight, and as the whole people were gnorant of what was going on, the *emains were left at his house on Pa gotte-street without attracting any notice. Yesterday morning, however, messoon as it was known that the re mains had reached the city, numbers f people called at the establishment f Mr. Weaver with a hope to get a cok at thoem, but as Mr. Ed win Booth mad made a special request that there ihould be no public display, few wiere iratified.

To PitarAnt COTTON SHED FOR BMArIuRE.-Mr. Dideon W. Dowse u gives the following plan for proparing cotton seed manure, and proventing the immense loss of ammonia by gradual eva poration from the old fashioned seed pile, thus retaining it in muck as the most yaluable of all I food for plants: 1 I hauled the muck directly to the n field, and made ten by ten at inter- I vals. Iaving detoruiua4 what dis- a tanec I wished thO 'piat.0 Lo atand, s and how much manure to the hill, it t was an easy matter to determine the J bulk necessary to each pen to manure i an aoro. I then put the cotton sood u one inch thick all over the pen, then 2 six inches of muck evenly over the i seed-thus in alternate layers of one e of seed to five of muok, until four u feet high--the muck being the top t lay or. And now for the' result. When G the banks were opened, there was not a a vestige of seed to be 'seen-not a particle of unpleasant odor, even h whn handled and put to the nose. a The whole mass perfectly friabib and c had an oily appearance-all going . to show that I had accomplished what is r most desirable in all manure, so fixed a the amtnonia that it was.fully. secured as food for the growing plant. The land to which it was applied was very i old and exhausted by long and shai- t low culture, that -,whei' I began - to j plant it, three hundred pounds of cot ton, or four bushels -of corn to the c acre. That year, subsoiling the land, o applying about one quart of the above i compost to the hill, gave me twenty- t five bushels to the acre. I-have used- I it frequently on corn and cotton since, f always with the most satisfaptory re- ; sults. I am satisfied that with deep a and thorough disintegration of the n subsoil in preparing land, frequent f and light stirring of the- surface in s cultivation, and with muck and cotton sced compost we need neither Peruvi- a an or any other guano. to bring our old lands up to 30 bushels of corn or l 500 pounds of lint cotton per acre. . I a have for years wished to give this experiment to my brother planters, t and have been deterred hither by the .d fear of intruding upon *space. that might be occupied by a more valuable article.
