? Postmaster General Dennison fivs
written a letter to the presidents of the dip\
ferent railroads upon which be states that
daring last winter the delivery of the mails c
was very irregular, and that many nnsatis- 1
factory excnses were offered, the principal (
one of which was the length of the trains (
was so great that'it was impossible to ran
upon schedule time. The Postmaster Gen 9

that the mails should be regularly delivered, t
?The New York Herald'& Charleston

Theodore D. Wagner will soon have a force C
of from five to six hundred meohanics and ?
laborers engaged iu the .dealing and ereo- ]
tionofnew buildings.in the burnt district a

Wagner has in contemplation the erection
of some two hundred handsome buildings c
! and stores by the first of July. Others of , smaller
capital arc commencing to -clear a
tbeh lote preparatory to building. e
Notwithstanding the many prediotiong;
says a Washington correspondent, that
have beeumade of a lively time at tbe Na
tional Capital this winter, I doubt if Wash,
ington has ever presented a more dull and ^
uninteresting aspect, socially or -politically,

against than in favor of an improvement.? d
It was expeoted that the people of the South a
would be here in full foroe, knocking for ?

the statement, that it is almost as hard to g
find a South Carolinian or an Alabamian 1 t
here how, aa it was as'a year or two ago.

Revenue Collector at Macon, Georgia, for
six weeks ending the first olt., gives an idea t
of the vast cotton trade at tbst place. The j
duty on cotton b two cents per pound, and t
the aggregate receipts at Macon for these
six weeks were fonr hundred and fifty thou- 1
sand dollars; representing a sale and ship- t
meat of fifty thousand hales, valued at thir- j
teen millions of dollars. Jt was estimated
that in the two closing months of the oar- *
rent year, the revenues from the same source
at, the same place would reach more than v
half a million of dollars additional to the c
above mentioned sum.
According to the EataftUe, a French "
paper published in Mexico, one thousand
Zonaves, on their way to reinforce
Marshall JBazaine, landed at Martfnque, and a
there revolted, with ories of "Death to the o
Emperor,'* "Vive la Hepublique," &o. The v
garrison was called out to reduce them to
ordeT, and many are reported to have been ^
killed on both sides. A party of four bun-;
dred had arrived at the City .of Mexico, j o
been disarmed, and ordered to trial by conrt-; \
martial. Tbe eveut caused great excite-,!.,
meet among tbe Mexicans, who looked upon
it as ap additional evidence of tie unpopularity

Thursday, on the test question of oonferring

rOOO against, to abont 80 in favor of the
proposition. The friends of negro suffrage
ire understood to have absented themselves
rom the polls with a view of referring the
{ueatioa to Congress, and Beonring its adopion
by vacating the oity charter, and redoling
the Distriot to a territory, with a Concessional

larger share of gladness for the little folks,
thaw it baa daring many previous - seasons.
Instead of groondtnnts; and ginger tsake?
the only luxuries that filled < their little
stockings on snoh holidays daring the war,
Santa Clans brought them on this ooeasion
a well-tilled budget of good' things. But
we are wrong perhaps in allowing the Tittle
folks all the glory of the day. Many a
face was-smoothed of time-worn--wrinkles,
and heavy hearts gladdened"by the approaoh
of an ooeasfdh, whose inflnenoe the stoutest
of as do not care to deny. Who does
not love to remember the Christmas of Jbis
boyhood, when all things were different
from what they are now ! The snn shone
brighter on his Christmas morning, the
snows'were deeper, and his sweetheart was
prettier that many years ago, than anyr
body's sweetheart now; and all its liti
tie events are traoed upon the heart in lilies
that the after onrrent of life is never strong
enough to entirely obliterate. We wish
oar little friends many returns of the happy
occasion, and that its material influences,
aside.from the saoredness of the day, may
not pass away without their reward.
MASONIC CELEBRATION.
The members of Philanthropic Lodge,
No. 78, A. F. M , celebrated the anniversary
of St John, the Evangelist, at
this plaoa on Wednesday, the 27th ultimo.
A procession was formed at the Masonio
Hall, in the forenoon, from whence it prooeeded
to the Methodist Church, where a
'
number of persons in whibh the fair sex
was represented, had braved the ineletnenoy
of the day, to witness, the proceedings.
After the singing of an Ode'appropriate
to the occasion, the W. M. introduced Col.
W. C. Beatty, P. .M., as orator for the
day. His address was replete with information
and valuable as an historic epitome
of Freemasonry from its supposed
origin, tp the present time. . Its delivery
occupied upwards of an hour, and was listened
to with marked attention and interest.
We learn that a copy of the address
has been sdlioited for publication, and trust
that the request will be oomplied with. .
At the close of the address, the Lodge
proceeded to install the newly eleoted officers
for 1866.
Vrnm f.hfl Church, the members of the
* " """ 9
Fraternity, with invited guests, returned to
the Hail, whete a sumptuous banquet awaitecfshem.
Much good cheerprevailed, and
notwithstanding the rain whicb was falling
all day, a good time was enjoyed by all
OTBTBACTS FOB LABOB. ;
This subject is juBtlyctaimipg a large
share of publio attention, and many inquiries
are made as to what authority?whether
Stpfe or Federal?muse be appealed*for its
'regulation. The system of contraots, and the
relation of master and servant established by
the Legislature, may be deemed inoperative
for the present, at least. The Judges eleoted,
and the officers to be speoially appointed
in ezeoution of the Act, are to be com.
missioned by the Governor, whenever he
nray become satisfied that no obstaole will'
intervene to impede the discharge of their
duties. Until auob commissions are issued, j
the provision made by the Legislature remains
in abeyance.
It jwas the bope of many, that the restoration
of the State Government to the offi4
oers of its selection, would bring with it
the boDtrol of the labor system of the country,
and a systematic polioy applying to
both master and servant. - The Freedmen's
Bureau will, - however, still continue to
be the tribunal regulating these subjects,
and to it mnst be referred the question of
labor until Buoh time as tbe statute becomes
of force. It is only necessary, however, in
making contracts with freedmen, to have a
full understanding of the terms, and tbe
parties to appear in person before the agents
of the Bureau, for their affirmance.
WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Congress has adjourned over from the
21st ult., to the 9th of January ; consequently,
but little news has reaohed us
since our last issue concerning its proceedings.
The Radical wing of the Republican
party, of which Stevens and Sumner
are tbe exponents, seems to be losing ground.
CahamI svf rtwn m * nnn t

bolted and given in their Bnpport to the re-1
construction policy of the President. Among
them are Raymond of the New York
Times, who tnrned the grandest summersault
of all ; Forney of the Press?
Beecher, the great spiritual light, and
anti-slavery apostle?Greely, Lovejoy
and' others of lesser notoriety. These have
arrayed themselves in support of the President,
and the hope -is expressed that by the
re-assembling of Congress on the 9th, a sufficient
foroe will be found in opposition to
the radicals, to materially modify the pre
posterous platform of exoluBion and confiscation,
upon which they opened the session.
The few members eleot from the Southern
States who presented their credentials
in Washington at the opening of the fifes?
sion have Returned to their homes, to remain
until the 4th of March. They consider
their chances for admission not at all hopeful
for the present.
Gen. Grant, considering his extensive
influence, is probably the strongest support
of the administration. He is unequivocal
in Wriew* in fetor of the immediate rfctorstion
of tbe Southern States to equality
in tbe iJnioD. -g

JUBIBDICTION OF TEE COUBTS.
It.was the hopeful" desire of the people
of this State, that tbe restoration of ha Executive
power to the GoverngMfoct, would
re-establish its legal jurisdiction over all
classes of people. In this hope,' they are
destined, for a time, to disappointment.
Tbe State is still under tbe control of mar*
rial law in respect to freedmen, and in so
far es the interests of its oiticens. conflict
with the latter class, or the Federal Government.
The "habeas corpus still remains sus
pended upon all questions affecting the interests
of the United. States, it? Treasury
agents or military authorities. All offences
oommitted against the same are referred - to
the jurisdiction of the military authorities,
and are not triable by junr. .
The ?tate Courts will be opened upon
every circuit next Spring, and will have
jurisdiction upon all questions not embraced
in the above exceptions" and in so far as
thb ^tay Law may not affect their, proceedings.
They can, however, under this
divided authority, only regulate such causes
as ibay arise between parties, citisens of the
State, or the State as a party against the
citizen.
The.rtai'us of the State may be defined
thna: Its Executive power has been restored
to its constitutionally elected Governor;
it has eleoted Senators and Bepresentatives
to Congress,, but is without representation
in that body. . It has a Legislature
composed of members chosen by its oitizens,
whose Sots exeroise only a partial control
.
over its welfare, and are limited to apply
only to certain classes - The balance of power
is retained by the military authorities,
and the agents, of the Freedmen's Bureau.
Alt military arresta are peremptory, and'
without appeal to oml authority .; all judicial
relations with freedmen, whether by
State or oirisen, striotly prohibited.
With these impediments to the advancement
of social ordef still existing, we must
exeroise forbearance, and like Macawbir,
"wait for.something to turn up" that will
set us 00 the stump again.

THE S. C. LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature, after a session of seven
weeks, adjourned on the ZJgt of December.
Its time .wa& occupied principally in
legislating upon suob subjects as were saggested
by tbe Convention, and required by
the altered relations of the State siooe the'
last sitting.
The Code, defining the relations, rights
,and duties of freedmeo, is embraced in four
acts, two" of wbiob we publish in fall, in
this issue. "Tbe Aet to amend the Criminal
Law" also included in tbe Code, will
be published next week and the "Aet to
establish Distriot Courts," the week following.
These Acts embrace a system of legislation,
which if pat into operation, will
hare a favorable tendenoy as regards the
labor of the country.
An Act to raise supplies, commencing in
October in the year 1865, provides for the
payment of a tax of fifteeo cents on every'
hundred dollars of the value of all lands
granted in this State, and the same upon all
town lots, buildtDgs, premises, &o.; two dollars
per bead upon all male residents between
the ages of twenty-one and sixty years,
oxoept such as may be inoapable of maintaining
themselves by their own labor j sixty
oents per hundred dollars on the prooeeds
of every trade, calling, or profession; sixty
cents per hundred dollars on brokers, commissions;
one dollar per head for every
dog kept in tbe State; forty oents per hundred
dollars on all gas stock, where tbe
companies in whioh snoh stook is held are
in working operation ; one dollar per*hnndred
dollars on all premiums taken by Insurance
Companies or their agenoies in this
State.; twenty cents on every hundred dollars
worth of goods sold in the State by residents,
or denizens thereof; one dollar on
every hundred dollars worth if the goods
are owned or sold by foreigner* or their,
agents; one dollar per hundred dollars
upon the value of all manufaotures for the
purpose of sale or barter; twenty dollars
upon every hundred dollars value of spiritOQ8
liquors manufactured in the State for
the purpose of sale; same upon the valoe
of all spiritaons lienors brought into the
State for sale, though manufactured elsewhere
; two dollars and fifty oents on every
hundred dollars worth of cotton held on
the 1st of Ootober, 1865, provided, suoh
oottoo has not since been seized by the
Government; two dollars and fifty cents
upon every hundred dollars of all sales of
cotton from May 1st to Ootober 1st, 1865 ;
two dollars and fifty cents upon every hundred
dollars of all sales of turpentine;
twenty dollars per day upon all shows,
plays, farces, sleight-of-hand, exhibitions,
&o.; and one thonsand dollars by every
Express Company for the privilege of oar-,
tying over the railroads of the State.
The tax is payable in specie, U. S.
Treasury legal tender notes,-or bills issued
by the authority (ft the present legislature.
This excludes all Bai& bills now in circulation,
in the payment of taxes.
An Act to amend the License Laws requires
that all municipal councils or b^pad
Commissioners, shall fix the prioes of HI
licenses to cell spirituous liquors/and that
the said tax be oot less that) fifty dollars. I wl
An Act to. establish the University of af
So. Ga., provides t hut the Sooth Cat$lina .
College flhan,henoefbrth!ii^'lfn^o as "the ^
University of Sooth Caroline," and that
the Tme tees immediately select professors ^
to preside over the different schools estah- p<
listed. The Boardalso empowered to pa- te
tablieh, whenever it may see fit, instrootors ^
19 Law and Medioioe, and also in Mechan- ^
ioal Pursuits. The delegation of eaob N
Election Distriot is also entitled to seleot, to
annually, a yontb from tbeir district, to be "
educated in the University free of expense. ^
An Act to provide for the election-of f0
Governor and LieutenaiU Governor, ap- h<
points the 3rd Wednesday in Ootober 1869, 9
and the same day in every fourth year, as ^
the day for said election. * ^
;2An_ Act,to organize the Executive Department,
declares said department to consist
of a Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, jo
Secretary of State, Treasurer, (Comptroller ^
General, Attorney General and. Solicitor.
The Governor to reside in Colombia daring ^
his term of officer; the legislature to provide annually
a residence for him until other ar- ^
rangemcnts are made. Instead of 'a Treas- g
urer for the dpper,and one for the lower C(
division, as formerly, the act now provides tj
for but one, to reside at Columbia. ADeputy
Treasurer is allowed in Charleston only '
until the books.*nd papers belonging to the
former office there ean bo removed. >. .
The Act to organise the Militia is volnm- q
inoos, and similar to the old system in many :
respects. The organisation, is to take place ^
immediately, and to facilitate it as far as g
practicable, the appointment of General
and Field Officera was vested in the Governor,
with the provision that all. vaoanoies
henceforth oooarring be supplied by eleotion.
Tbe Colonels appointed are to organise *
tbeir Regiments by requiring the election *
of Company officers within the precincts of ^
their several commands., tl
The Aot known as tbe "Stay Law*' embraces
so tpuob of interest to the country,
that we. herewith publish it entire. All
olaims originating in the nature of damages
for a voirong committed, may be prosecuted
to lodgement and collection. Only f
claims arising from legal contracts heretofore
existing are' stayed by this act. It
provides : *
"That the Act of the General Assembly/
