Jtoaps and partis. A man in Kentucky has been found guilty of dealing faro, and fined $600. In default or payment he was sent to the work-house to wCfk out the fine at 50 cents per day.

The population of Memphis, Tennessee, was estimated at sixty thousand tnree years ago. A late census returns but thirty-nine thousand. The decrease is attributable to the terrible oondition of Tennessee under Browlow and the negro rule. A Berkshire girl, says the Boston Fbtt, walked fourteen miles through the snow the other day, to marry a young man who couldn't come to her house for fear of a six-shooter which the stern parent carried. The ordinary mode of churning butter in Chili is to put the milk in a skin?usually a dog's skin?tie it on a donkey, mount a boy on him; with rowels to his spurs about the length of the animal's ears, and then run him four-mile heats. ' The Prussian Military Gazette says that the German military organisation is now complete, and that a "million of soldiers can, at any moment, be placed under arms by a single telegram from Berlin." A negro girl, aged eleven years, eight months and eighteen days, living near Pulaski, Tennessee, a short time since, gave birth to a female child. The mother and child are both living and in perfect health. A lady having the misfortune to have her husband hang himself on an apple tree, the wife of a neighbor immediately came to beg a branch of that tree, (o have it grafted into one in her orchard, "for who knows," says she, "but it may bear the same kind of fkrit." -General Robert K Lee has been elected President of the Bible Society of Rockbridge oounty, Virginia, and has issued a short address to the citizens of that county in behalf of the object of the society?which is to supply every family in the county with aoopy of the Birae. John M. Langston, (a negro,) of Ohio, will he an applicant for the ministership to Hayti under Gtant. This is the same position offered him by President Johnson, but declined for the reason that he would not dim his political prospects by aooepting an office under the present administration. They have a number of velocipedes in the gymnasium of the 22d regiment, the aoqoirement of the art of riding those machines being considered a "military necessity." The New York Herald unkindly says, "what a pity that velocipedes were not used in the late war! They would nave been of priceless value at Bull Run?especially on the evening of that eventful day." "General Grant," said a distinguished lady to the General the other day, rather confidentially, "I am jost dying to know who the Cabinet are to be." "Are you, though?" said the General. "I am, indeed," said the lady; "just dying of curiosity." Then the General, in a low voice, replied: ?i i ?: ? tlc n * , "Weu, Maaam, tnac is just wuui mrs. vjumul says." A young man at Connersville, Giles county, Tennessee, on Thursday evening, while standing on the floor, in the act of being married, was shot down by the brother of his briae. He fell in the arms of the devoted girl, who, assisted by friends, conveyed him to a bed, when, at her request, the marriage ceremony was finished, she exclaiming that she would rather mourn a dead husband than a dead lover. In a few minutes, the newly-ma<je husband expired. The murderer escaped. The Darlington Southerner, of the 5th instant, says: We nave been reliably informed that a gentleman of capital, late a Bureau officer in a neighboring county, has purchased two hundred acres of land near Florence, for the purpose of planting a vineyard, growing vegetables, raising poultry and stock of all kinds for market. A contract has been let out for the erection of some thirty buildings on the place, and as soon as compleea will will be occupied by as many families of Germans. A suit has just been tried in New Orleans, involving the question whether a party was bound now by notes given for slaves before the war. The plaintiff sold his plantation, with about 600 slaves, some time before the war, and notes were given as part of the price. The jury stood eleven for plaintiff and one for defendant, the trial resulting without a verdict The same point also came up be fore the United States Court in Texas, and was submitted to a jury of negroes, who were emancipated by the war. This juiy found that theirown sale before the war was valid. A man who has been travelling in Texas, says: "It is the hottest and the ooldest, the wettest and the dryest, the richest and the poorest the best and the meanest, has the best women and the meanest men, and more pretty ladies, with prettier little feet and no calves to suit; more sickness and less health, more streams and less navL gable waters, more corn bread and less corn, more flour and less biscuit more oows and less milk and butter, more chickens and less eggs, more gold and silver and less money, more deer and less venison. * more negroes and less labor, more Bureaus ana ' less furniture, than any country in the United States?and where house flies always live and musquitoes never die 1" The New York Sun says: "We learn that the Tribune Association has insured the life of Mr. Greeley for the handsome sum of $100,000. Thus even the death of the great publicist like his life, will be to his associates a source of pecuniary benefit for it cao scarcely be supposed that the property of the Tribune can be injured to that amount bv his ceasing to direct it and write for it Indeed, if the loss of his services were equivalent to $100,000, we oould hardly expect that his associates would consent to his accepting the dignity of Ambassador to London. It is reported that the premiums on this liberal insurance, amounting to $7,000 a year, are to be paid in advertising. This shows what a keen eye to business the people of New York possess." Mr. John W. Forney is traveling in the South, and is writing letters over his own initials to his paper. In a late letter from Lenoir, North Carolina, he is "delighted to find the people of the State so temperate and orderly; he "has met a great number of the Confederate officers, and in ever, instance found them courteous, intelligent and full of inquiriesthe election of Grant "is regarded by this whole population as the best thing that could have happened to them," and on every side, when he is not surprised he is oveijoyed at the goodness, loyalty and prosperity of the people. Whether this apparent change of view has anything to do with land speculations in which Mr. Forney is said to be concerned, or results from an honest' conviction on a closer inspection of the Southern people, we do not undertake to say. We have no doubt ourselves, however, that the virtues of the North Carolinians are all that he represents them to be. As an express train on the Michigan Central Railroad was nearing Albion, Tuesday afternoon, the passengers waiting for the train were startled by the frequent whistling of the engine. It was found that a man was driving at a furious pace, to get his horses and wagon across the track before the engine reached the crossing. The engineer did his best to stop the train, but it was too late, and the cow-catcher stnick just between the wagon and the horses, separating them instanter, and consigning each to a place on opposite sides of the track, little or none the worse for the collision. The man and his wife (each about sixty-five) were caught upon the platform above the cow-catcher, and just in front of the engine. Instead of losing presence of mind and jumping off, they settled themselves composedly, as though nothing had happened. The old lady put her hands in her muff, while the old man, with one hand extended, as if grasping the reins, and the whip raised in the other, assumed a jockey attitude, and thus the old couple rode up to the station triumphant, amid the cheers of the by-stanJers. As soon as the train stopped, a number rushed to their assistanoe; but they declined all aid, manifesting no concern for themselves, but considerable for the fate of the horses and wagon. The horses were uninjured, and the damages to the wagon were trifling. The irrepressible relict of the late President Lincoln has again failed to enlist the sympathies of Congress in her behalf. The Senate Committee on Pensions do not consider her a proper object of national charity, and in reporting against the joint resolution for her relief, they say so with as much bluntoess as is compatible with common courtesy, i According to the statement of one of the execu- ; tore of Mr. Linooln's will, he left to bis family property to the rake of nearly $100,000, to which Congress has since added $25,000 as a free gift to the unfortunate widow. It is thought that under these circumstances, she ought not to be in a state of destitution, and her plea tor assistance in forma pauperis appears to excite the disgust of a majority of the party to which her late husband belonged. The Pension Committee do notoonsider themselves authorized uoder existing laws, to grant a pension exceeding thirty dollars per month, nut with bitter bony suggest that, if Mrs. L's claim is on aooount < of extraordinary military or naval services, it had better be referred to the military or naval oommit- , tee ! This is the nnkindest cut of all, as it is generally understood that the only "services" rendered by the lady have been to persons who had axes to girind at the White House, and were willing "to come down" handsomely for back-stairs help in getting them sharpened.

Contemplating the enlargement of the Enquirer, and requiring a larger press for the purpose, we offer for sale the one which we are at present using. It is a "Guernsey Cylinder Press," in first rate working order and is little injared from use. The manner in which the Enquirer is printed indicates the quality of work it will do. Our only reason for offering it fbr sale is, that it is not large i enough for our purposes. It is arranged to be run by hand or steam?runs very lightly by hand. It has a self-acting "fly," and is ftrlly provided with roHer-moulds, stocks, kc. The chase, column and i head rules, and side and foot sticks, are also offered 1 for sale. i i EDUCATIONAL. Kino's Mountain Military School.?Col. j A. Coward, the accomplished and enterprising principal of this Institution for young men, is receiving the reward of his patience and industry. The present session of the School has opened with \ full classes, the number being fhlly as great as can j be aooommodated, with the facilities now at hand. ? - lit X For the ensuing session arrangements win oe maue for the admission of a much larger number. There i is do school in the State, of which we have any knowledge, that commends itself rnc"* favorably to i the patronage of the public than the one over i which Col. Coward presides. The Yorkville Female College, with a full i corps of competent instructors, is looking onward ] and upward. The roll for the present session oon- ] tains the names of over sixty young ladies present, j and a still larger nnmber is expected daring the present month. Mrs. N. A. ThornweD still pre- ] sides over the boarding department; while the i Revs. R. B. Anderson, H. R. Dickson and W. i W. Carothere, and Misses Emma, Julia and Jo- i sephine Manigault retain their places as instruct- I ore. This College is admirably organized and ably j conducted. There is still room for more, and pa- i rents and guardians cannot do better than to in- ; quire into the merits of this institution before sending elsewhere. RE-OPENING OF MAIL ROUTES. , The North Carolina Legislature has passed a | bill requesting Congress to re-open all the mail routes in that State which existed before the war. This is a step in the right direction, and the Legislatures of the other Southern States would do ! well to follow the example of North Carolina. The ' extension of mail facilities is a valuable aid in the 1 work of pecuniary reconstruction, which is now the very best kind of reconstruction for the South, j Marked advance in prosperity cannot be well ac- j complished without free and regular communication with other parts of the country, as experience ] has fuUy proved. Since the war, the advantages | of regular mails have been gradually restored , throughout the South, by the re-opening of old , routes; hut many of these are still closed. The j neighborhoods lying along these closed routes ; ought not to allow the matter to rest so. By con- ( stant and persistent effort, we think, they can sue- < ceed in having their mail-routes re-established. ( CONGRESSIONAL NEWS. Congress, during the past week, has been em- i ployed in the discussion of many bills, both of a public and private nature; but definite action has ( been taken only in a few cases. The appropria- , Hnna fnr the various deDartments of the govern- 1 meat are the principal bone of contention. These j appropriations must be made before Congress adjourns, in order to keep the machinery of the government in motion. But members, with a desire to appear eoonomical in the distribution of the people's money, are haggling about the amounts to be appropriated to certain departments. All think the expenditures of the government are too great, and all are in favor of retrenchment; but each is in favor of retrenching in some quarter whioh will not injure his particular friends. For instance, the Eastern members want a reduction of the expenses of the Indian bureau, while the Western members oppose it, and desire a less expensive Navy. The House has passed, by a two-thirds vote, the negro suffrage amendment, which may be Been in full in another column. The Secretary of War was interrogated by the 1 House, whether any District Commander has tarn- | ed over to the civil authority, for trial or punish- , ment, any person tried or convicted by military < tribunals. 1 A resolution admitting the Dominican republic as a territory of the Union, was tabled in the j House, by a vote of 110 to 62. , On the 4th, the debates of the House were en- i livened by Mr. Holbrook, a delegate from Idaho Territory, who accused our old friei.d Butler, of Massachusetts, of wilful lying. Having refused to retract his language when called to order,, Mr. Holbrook, by a vote of the House, was censured by the Speaker. In the Senate, two bills of importance have been introduced. One of these is to create a new Cabinet officer, to be known as the Secretary of the Home Department, who is to have under his control the Land office, the Indian Bureau, the Freedmen's Bureau and mining affairs. The other is a bill to re-organize the Federal Judiciary. It provides for nine Judges of the Supreme Court and for the appointment of Circuit Judges. MERE-MENTION. The Charleston Board of Trade oppose a further extension of the "fifty per cent, clause" of the Bankrupt law. The Greenville papers announce the death of Dr. Randel Croft, a prominent citizen of that county. It is expected that the Columbia and Augusta Railroad will be completed to the Savannah River by the 10th of April next. Gen. Wade Hampton, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the position, declines being a candidate for President of the South Carolina Railroad. A bill has passed both Houses of Congress authorizing the appointment of midshipmen from the Southern States. The Commissioner of Agriculture announces that he has no seeds for general distribution. Ben Byas, the Sergeant-atrArms of the House, dipped his fingers into the public till to the amount of $5,546, for expenses incurred in fitting up the University building, in Columbia, for the use of the House. The Auditing Committee have reported favorably on the account. On last sales-day, the Sheriff" of Orangeburg County sold property to the amount of $12,932. 'Presley C. Foster, of Union County, was drowned in Brown's Creek, in that County, on Monday of last week. Mules are being sold in Union County, at from $200 to $250. So says the lima. J as. M. Askew, of Union County, killed a negro near Mount Tabor, in that County, a few days ago. "The Lancaster Ledger says that Dan Moore, a colored teamster, was severely beat and his wagon robbed by a party of thieves, four miles below Rock Hill, one day last week. Two negro children were reoently burned to death near Georgetown, S. C., while their parents were absent at church. The Chancery Court of Claiborne county, Mississippi, has just decided a suit that has been before it for twenty-six years.

Forrest says he has given up politics, and intends to devote himself to railroading. A St Louis paper declares that the only honest officer in the govern There is, however, a way by whicn estates confining a comparatively small negro population nay still exclude the bulk of them from the ballot x>x. Although they be forbidden to deny sufirage on account of race, color or previous slavery, ;hey will still possess the power to impose an edujational or property qualification, which will effec;ually keep nine-tenths of the negroes in Northern States from voting. Such a qualification would ilso exclude some whites; but the laws of some of ;hese 8tates have heretofore made reading and (vriting an essential qualification for a voter. It ;s not improbable, therefore, that with the reserved privilege of whipping the devil round the stump, some of the Republican States which voted down negro suffrage by such vast majorities last fall, nay reverse their decision when the question is igain presented, and thus make die 15th amendment a part of the constitution. THE PROSPECT FOR BACON. The circular of a pork-house in St. Lous gives the following report as to the prospect of the meat mpply of the West for this year. If the case be as it is stated, the people of the South will be under the necessity of paying high prices for their bacon, unless they sucoeed in making it at home. Whether the report be true or not, it is to their advantage to make enongh meat for home consumption ; for, by so doing, they place themselves above the danger of paying out a large share of their profits on cotton, for the purchase of provisions. It is true there are difficulties in the way, not the least of which is the taste for fresh pork possessed by some freedmen. Still, the question is to mliotlior fho riclr of loss from stolen LA7 U^lUCU) nuvvuui vuv *..? v. ? hogs is greater than that from high prices next fall and winter. We give the statement, as reported by one who is in a position to know, merely remarking that the present high price of bacon confirms his impressions. The report says: "Evidence daily accumulates, going to show that the present year the South will demand and consume double the quantity of provisions that she did last year, In view of this fact, what is the condition of the trade in the hog product of the West at this time? The South is consuming meat of the new crop, while the old stock was consumed long before the new cure could go forward. This is unusual for the season, and is of great importance. In the face of this fact, we have the evidence that there is an even chance for a small crop of hogs to give us the meat for the coming wants. Could we but come up to last year's crop, we should then be deficient, for that only met the necessities, which were cramped by the lack of means to pay. Now, with increased facilities for payment, and a consumption so far of the new crop, astonishing and unusual, and yet legitimate, as we have before this remarked, the "hog product" is to be short this year in any event that can now occur. Some writers are descanting upon the fact that the higher prices are checking the importations. To our minds this is of little concern, for, from present appearances, the West will have no provisions to send out of the countiy. The home consumption will be as much as we can meet, and we may not be able to even do that, if the hogs do not come forward in a lareer supply than tney have done thus far, and that a majority predict thev will. Relative to high prices, we state, without fear of contradiction, that he who buys hogs at 91 cents gross, and sell the product at the; present rates, loses money on every hog so slaughtered. One thing is palpable, either hogs must come down in price, or the product must go higher than at ans price we have yet seen. It is estimated, that *f the present time the stock of hogs is only about one-quarter of the stock of last year At Chicago, and other points also short." The-Cincinnati Prion Current, of a recent date, makes the following remarks on the same subject "In oar last we stated that enongh had beer known to jastify us in saying that the number ol hogs packed in the West the present season, wU fall short of the last packing season about 300, (XX ho^s, and in no case can it be far enough fron this point to change the result essentially. Ii seems to us that the weight will not differ muct from that of last season, and we think, from infbr mation we have, that there will be very little dif ferenoe in the yield-of lard; if any, it will be againsi this season; that is, the yield will be less."

There is to be an annular eclipse of the sui to-day, according to the almanacs. Persons desi ring to witness this phenomenon will, however be under the necessity of visiting South Africa o South America, as the eclipse will not be visible ii the Northern hemisphere. The Income Tax Constitutional. In a case from California, where coin is th< cnrrencv in common use, the Supreme Court o the United States has decided that a return of in oome in coin most be reduced to its value in cur rency, and the tax collected on that value. It wm also decided that tax on incomes is not oontrary U the Constitution, and is therefore within the powe: of Congress to impose and exact Encouragement to Immigrants. The Railroad companies between Virginii and Atlanta, Ga., it is stated, have agreed t< transport immigrants over their lines at the rate o one cent per mile. This arrangement will be o great service to localities situated along the line o these roads?that is, if immigration be an advan tage to them?as it places the means of transpor tation within the reach of all who will really be ai acquisition to the country which they select for i home. Not Ready For Universal Amnesty. During the debates in the House, on th< 15th Amendment, Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, pro posed to add a section forbidding States from dis franchising any citizen except such as shall hereof ter engage in rebellion or insurrection, or who maj have been or shall be convicted of treason or othe: crime at common law. The effect of this woulc have been to restore the privilege of suffrage to al "ex-rebels," except such as might be convicted o: treason by a jury of their fellow citizens. But th< House would not accept this proposition. Whil< willing to forbid "loyal" States from disfranchis ing negroes, they refused to forbid reconstructec States from disfranchising ex-rebels. Electricity for Boys. ?? A Dr. Poggioli has presented, before th< British Academy of Medicine, the theory that th< use of electricity will improve children, both bodilj and mentally. In proof of his theory he instancec a deformed and stupid boy, who, under electrica treatment, grew one inch within a month, and ha: since been always first in his class. Dr. P. propose! " " 11 J that six pupils in every class in coueges aim auaue mies, who stand at the foot of their classes, b< subjected to a similar treatment. In our younger days teachers were in the- habit of using a very simple machine for the purpose o: electrifying stupid and lazy boys. It consisted o: a stout, elastic hickory sprout, applied diagonally across the back of the patient, and when vigorous ly and systematically used, it produced strikingly electrical effects. Our experience and observatioi lead us to believe that no better remedy for th< above complaints can be invented. The Fence Question. The Augusta (Ga.) CoiutUutioncdi?t\\i\n\i\ it cheaper to fence stock than crops, and goes int< figures to show the cost of old fences in Georgia as follows: "There are 500,000 miles of fencing in Georgia The rails required for a ten rail fence for one mil< is 9,000, and for all the Georgia fences, 4,500,000, 000. The value of these, takiug the worth of tim ber, splitting, hauling and putting up, is five hun drea dollars per mile, amounting to $25,000,000 The duration of these fences is seven years. Th< annual interest, at twenty per cent, allowing thir teen percent for decay, is $5,000,000." Tranquility of the South. The Baltimore Sun, of a recent date, give! the following gratifying summary of the oonditior of affairs in the South: "Advices from the South declare and confirm i state of quietness in all localities except Arkansas In Louisiana, Mississippi, Virginia and the Caro linas, as well as in Georgia, the absence of politi cal contests makes the States as tranquil as any States North. There is reported to be hardly any business activity in real estate, trade, or railroad.1 in any of the States; but there is a wholesomi prevalence of order and peace, and no grea amount of distress prevails. A very large rice am cotton and cereal crop wiJl be planted. jjaDor i abundant, and the scarcity of money is not felt s< much as it was feared it would be, as the co-oper ative share principle is obtaining on very man] plantations. The relations of the races are friend ly in the extreme, -and the freedmen have, as i general thing, gone to work for the old proprietor on just terms. Velocipede on the Brain. The New Yorkers, from the numerous par agraphs in the papers on the subject, appear t< have velocipede on the brain. The Hanlon Bro there, a company of vaulters end tumblers, havi opened a velocipede school in New York, one o the exhibitions at which is described iu the HcraU as follows: "Once the entire floor was cleared, and Mr Frederick Hanlon entered the ring on the back o a velocipede. He fell also, but it appeared mor< as if he desired only to experiment upon the floor to see how hard a man may fall without burtinf himself. One of the velocipedes he used was bro ken, but there seemed to De any quantity in re serve and prepared for his evolutions. Iu truth ii must be said that Mr. Frederick Hanlon used thL two-wheeled instrument as any experienced circui rider would a horse. He cajoled it, and it wen 'like blazes [' he sat upon it crosswise and endwise he worked it with his legs, and then be didn't work it at all, and it went still; he stood upon it he knelt upon it, he passed between two chairs anc took them up and balanced them, and still wen on. He went up an inclined plane at an angle ol forty-five degrees and down at another angle oi twenty-five degrees; ho pulled off his coat whil< running along at a 2.40 rate, and he put it oi again, working his velocipede with two feet, witl one foot and witn no foot at all." Getting Tired. The following from the RcpuMican, pub lishedin Charleston, indicates that the "truly loll' are getting tired of the doings of the South Caro lina Legislature: An esteemed correspondent suggests the duty o the members of the General Assembly to oomplet their business and go home. We know that man; of our people feel as he does, and of our own par ty, too. People are impatient of discussions s< protracted and apparently fruitless. They approv ' of debating societies, but do not think it good pol; icyjto maintain one in Columbia at the cost of more i than one thousand dollars a day. This is what , men are saying, and it is proper that the members should knoir it Membere doubtless ftel^hat thev , are making some progress in matters in which , haste is not advisable or right Bat they should . also, to some degree, regard what the people think p and say. Laws relating to schools, land and wages, so far v as they are needed, can surely be passed in a few days. These are the subjects of principal impor. tance. We had hoped for some railroad laws^ and still feel that the Legislature ought to furnish a rule of low fares and cheap freights; and more, we ' fed that the Legislature is negleotiog it deliberate, ly, and knowingly neglects the interests of the people they profess to represent But if these laws cannot he passed in a few days, they cannot be passed at afi at the present session.

J In the House, an important bill was introduced by Elliott, which was read by its title and referred b to the Committee on WavA and Means. The bill f alluded to is entitled "A Bill to authorize a loan P for the relief of the Treasury.'^ It provides for borrowing on coupon bonds, within twelve months, 7 one million dollars, or so much if necessary, 6aid bonds to date from January 1st, 1869, and bear 7 interest at the rate of Bevcn per cent, payable ) semi-annually, and redeemable in twenty (20) years, } bonds and coupons to be payable in New York. The Governor, Attorney-General, State Treasurer, and Finance Agent of the State are to have the sale of the bonds, and to use them as collateral 3 whenever required The bill is simply intended } as a precautionary measure to furnish collaterals to supply any deficit in the 8tate Treasury, if any ' should occur, from any cause, during, the fiscal year. As yet the old public debt has not been in creased, and it is expected that very little, if any, ' addition will have to be made. The bill is meant ' to be only an exemplification of the old adage, "take time by the forelock." To the uninitiated ~ it might appear that the State intended to thrust upon the market one million dollars worth Of bonds. Thursrday, February 4, 1869. In the Senate, An Act to provide for the payment of Commissioners and Managers of Elections, 3 was dnly ratified. , In the House, Neagle introduced a resolution, requesting the Governor to infonp the House if the interest on the endorsed first mortgage lien 1 bond of the South Carolina Railroad Company, amounting to over two millions of dollars, due in 1868, has been paid.

"The New York Times says : "Messrs. Mason and Slidell will shortly return to this country, in company with Jeff. Davis." An idea of the amount of traveling to and from New York and the surrounding cities, may be formed from the fact that 82,321,274 passengers crossed on the East and North River ferries daring the past year. *The Bank of England prints 28,000 bank notes every day.

The House, on the 3rd instant, passed the pro posed 15th Amendment, enacting universal surfVage in all the Stales of the Union, by a vote of 150 to 42. It is as follows: article 15. Sec. 1. The right of any citizen of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State, by reason of race, jolor or previous condition of slavery of any citizen jr class of citizens of the United States. Sec. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. The proposed amendment, having passed the Flouse by the requisite majority of two-thirds, joes to the Senate which will probably pass it by i two-thirds vote. The legislatures of three-fourths )f the States, thirty-seven in all, must ratify it before it can become an article of the Constitution, rhe vote of the States will test the North on the question of negro suffrage at home. Their accep:ance or rejection of this article will prove the sinjerity with which they have imposed this doctrine jpon the South. If former votes of Northern States indicate the feeling cf their people, the imeodment will be rejected. ? i n. i i shall marry minors without the offeeeat of parent^ or foardiaos, was taken up, when, ocr tho^on, the enaoting clause was stricken out, which i?equivalent to a rejeetion of the bill AFFRAY AT LOWNDESYILLE, I. C. The Abbeville Banner, of Wednesday last, gives the following particulars of an afray which occurred at Lowndesville, in that District, on Thursday, the 28th ult.: "On.Friday, 29th ultimo, a Teunesseean, by the name of Welch, who has been residing for some time near Calhoun's MiBs, eafied on Matthew Donald, Esq., Clerk of the Court in Abbeville, and made the following statement, to wit: That on the previous day, at LowndesvOle, as he drag about to leave a store, in which he had been buying goods, he saw sitting upon his hone, aTanoeo seean by the name of Bcisooe; that without waking to hear Briseoe speak, or to see him act, be drew his revolver, and leveling it at Briseoe, said to him: 'By G?, you are mine,' and shot him through the body; that as Briscoe attempted to ride off, he shot him through the arm, and that, Dulling the trigger the third time, he shot the none in the bead and brought him and his rider to the ground; that he would have fired again but that his pistol would not go off. He further states that while he was shooting, Briscoe and a man named Curtis discharged four shots at hhn (Welch) without effect The reason which he alleged for his attack on Briscoe was that he had had a warrant for the arrest of Briscoe for hone-stealing; drat he had been upon his track, and that he had been told that Briscoe had said that he intended to kifi him at sight He fbrther stated that he beHered that he had mortally wounded Briscoe, as he had been informed that the surgeons in attendance did not think that he could live. In consequence of this information, given by himself, Squire McDonald felt it to be jus duty, as a civil officer, to issue a warrant for the arrest of Welch, on a charge of murder. The warrant was placed in the haods of Sheriff Oasou, whose oath of office bound him. to execute iL The same evening, the Sheriff accompanied by Guffin, one of the State Constables, undertook the arrestWelch resisted, knocked the Sheriff in one direction, Guffin in another, and made his escape. It is believed that he was harbored here daring the night by a party that wonld . be called "tad" at head-quarters.

He was not known to any civil officer in this place as a Constable. He did not pretend to show any authority. The Clerk and the Sheiiff attempted to discharge their duties as civil officers. Had they failed to make the attempt, a hue and 017 would have been again raised at Governor Scott's oftoe against the people of this district, and against the officers of the district But what have we here? Bead the'fallowing: . . State of Sooth Cabolika,, j Officii of Chief Constable, [ Columbia, January 31, 1869.} To the Sheriff of AbbeoSU County Sir:?From information received at this effiae, you have arrested one Welch, an officer who wis attempting to arrest Briscoe, an outlay in your county, and was compelled to shoot him in self-defence. I will inform you that you shall be held strictly responsible for this arrest, and I would also say: If you would make ita more practical print to try and arrest some of the outlaws and desperadoes in Abbeville, instead of State offioers, it would add to your small amount of credit as Sheriff of Abbeville county.
