Jtoapsi a?l Jartn. Of all independent men in the world, lie who has served his time at and knows the secrets of a trade is the most self-reliant It has been demonstrated ont West that women can ride the bicycle velocipedes by wearing bilegnlar garments. A colored woman, in a New Orleans street car, Teeently lectured Governor Warmonth of La., for not giving op his seat to her. v , It is a remarkable fact that the "oldest Free Mason" dies onoe a week in the United States. The last is Joseph Metcalf, of Erie, Pennsylvania. Application has been made to the President for permission to remove Booth's remains, and for possession of the trunk and other effects of the assassin in the custody of the War Department. Last week. Wright, the oolored lawyer from Beaufort, made his appearance at Marion Court, and had the misfortune to lose every case in which he was engaged. California's population is onlv one-fourth females. In Nevada there are eight men to one woman, and the proportion in Colorado is twenty to one. A T. Stewart has sold twenty shawls this season is New York, worth $3,000 each, and one worth $4,000. One woman lately ran up a bill for $20,000 at his store in a couple of months. The jailor of the Orangeburg jail, a few days ago, suffered two prisoners to escape, and accompanied them in their flight All the parties are colored men. A Michigan fanner's sheep having mysteriously disappeared recently, he plaoed a wolf trap in the field. A few days afterward he found it sprung, and now one of his neighbors is laid up with a sprained ankle. The members of the Rhode Island Legislature are paid $1 per day. The State is small, and nearly all of them live at their houies during the seasion, going to the Capitol in the morning and returning in the ovening. Mr. Corley, of South Carolina, has introduced a bill in the House for the removal of political disabilities from Hon. W. W. Boyce, formerly a Representative from South Carolina, and now a resident of Washington city. Governor Holden, of North Carolina, on behalf of himself and other loyalists, has telegraphed to the North Carolina Senators to oppose any redaction of the armv which wiU reduce the Federal garrisons in North Carolina. As an indication of the difference between the amount of goods sold in New York in 1867 and 1868, it may be noted that the sales by auction of diy goods last year was about $4,000,000 less than in the year previous. F,TTw?rimente recently made in Georgia prove that gooJ paper may be' made from okra, the whole plant Deing utilable. The Mobile Register has seen specimens of good printing, writing and wrapping paper made from this plant ?? The Wilmington Star says that Governor Soott, of South Carolina, continues to listen to the promptings of his kind heart, and pardons criminals promiscuously, giving them future opportunities of tormenting, and perhaps murdering, more honest men. A young woman named Mary O'Neill was arrested at the White House, in Washington, on Thursday last, who said she was sent by God to assaninate Mr. "Johnson. A double-barrelled pistol, not loaded, was found on her person. She is evidently crazy. One planter on the Mississippi offers five hundred thousand ramie plants for Kile; and it is reported that orders for ramie from all parts of Europe have been transmitted to New Orleans and Mobile, offering to purchase the rough fibre at ten cents in gold. The following are the receipts of the principal New York dailv journals for the past three months, as reported to the internal revenue officers: Herald, $189,645; Times, $130,938; Tribune, $131,859; Journal of. Commerce, $25,500; Express, $24,106; Evening Post, $28,106; Commercial, $6,841; Pomeroy s Democrat, $10,558. A novel mode of dunning, lately introduced in New York, is to hire a chaise painted in flaming red letters "Collector's Chaise," in which the tollector makes his daily rounds'to the domiciles of slow-paying debtors. In very obstinate eases, and when the debtor lives in a fashionable house, it is kept standing in front of the premises several hours a day. A sculptor, who wa* engaged to carve a monument and select an epitaph ror a deceased manufacturer of fireworks, seeing the inscription on the tombstone of a celebrated musician, "He has gone to the place where only his own harmony can be exceeded," and thinking it^was a veiy neat thing, he adapted it to his purpose by changing one word, and carved on the monument, '*He has gone to that place where only his own firexcorls can be exceeded." The dry goods trade of New York, as appears by the returns of sales of wholesale dealers during the past year, has been better than the year pitvious. The following are the amounts of sales made during 1868 by some of the leading wholesale firms: H. B. Claffiin & Co., $43,333,000; A. T. Stewart, $30,576,000; Hoyt, Sprague & Co., $9,210,000; S. B. Crittenden & Co., $6.938,000; Lathrop, Luddington & Co., (since fail. ed) $6,921,000; Anthony & Hall, $6,898,000; E. o T_/T C_ (bn AAA o. uanruy a uu., *>o,oui,ow. The Lynchburg (Va.) Republican says: "the contract for the construction of the first division of the Georgia Airline^ Railroad, extending from Atlanta to Charfctte, N. 0., has been awarded to Messrs. Scott, Bondurant & Adams, of this city. These gentlemen are all practical and experienced railroad men, abundantly qualified to execute this work in an entirely satisfactory manner. The extent of the contract given them is twenty miles, being that portion of the road immediately east of Atlanta, which is all that has as yet been let? They will commence operations at once. From some sort of influence not clearly understood at the South?perhaps the scenting of danger from afar to their own liberties, perhaps from some quiet intimation from General Grant, who is about to take control of the Executive power and patronage?there has, of late, been a very perceptible abatement of the radical sentiment in that portion of the press at the North. A number of journals, hitherto ready at all times to advocate any amount of outrage upon the Southern States and people, have made a track toward conservatism, and protest against many of the radical measures now pending in Congress. A friend recently went to a Butch tailor and had his measure taken for a pair of pantaloons. He gave directions to have them made large and full. Our friend is a heavy man, and likes his clothes loose, and when he came to fry on bis new unmentionables, found that they stuck tight to his legs, whereat he thus remonstrated: "I told you to make these pants fall." After some objagatoS expressions of a profane nature, the tailor ended e controversy by declaring: "I dink dese pants is full enough; if they was any fuller they would sphliu" A statement has been published of the expenses and profits of a first class traveling circus and menagerie. The season, with, this entertainment, lasts from the first of April to the last of October. Nearly three thousand miles were travelled over in that time, an average of eighteen miles being made on every day the show moved at all. Ninety people drew salaries from the proprietors in various capacities. The expenses for hotel bills, 207 days, were 122,448 for people, $27,022 for stabling and feeding stock. The animals required a hundred and fifty pounds of beef a day. The total expenses were about $800 a day, and reached-in tne aggregate $141,600. The total receipts, on 177 show days, exceeded this amount by $53,100, but from this profit the expense of wintering the animals must be deducted. One of the most marvellous examples of growth in recent times is furnished in the case of the infant City of Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory. On the 4th of July, 1867, it consisted of a single house. Now it boasts a population of seven thousand. It has six boot and shoe stores, five drug stores, eight dry goods stores, three clothing stores, five wholesale groceries, three hardware and cutlery stores, three restaurants and game stores, four stationery and Yankee notion firms, six wholesale liquor dealers and four tobacco and cigar stores, besides twelve other firms engaged in various branches of business. There are four hotels, eight lawyers, and seven physicians in the place. Four papers, three daily and one weekly, are published in Cheyenne. The Union Pacific Railroad passes through it, and four lines of telegraph radiate from it. It contains one very fine church (Catholic) and three or four other denominations are about to erect houses of worship. Formerly, when the Union Pacific Railroad had its terminus there, the town was overrun with disreputable women to the number of five hundred or more, but a large proportion of them have followed the road on to its next terminus. The youthful city supports a large number of gambling hells, several dance-houses, a museum and a theatre, all ' ' r" r ' = in fall blast The Union P&cifio Company are building machine shops'there, which, when completed, will employ some five thousand hands.?

TO PRINTERS---PRESS FOR SALE. 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 injured from use. The manner in which the Enquirer is printed indicates the quality of work it will do. Oar only reason for offering it for sale is, that it is not large enough for our purposes. It is arranged to be run by hand or steam?reus very lightly by hand. It has a self-acting "fly," and is fully provided with roller-moulds, stocks, &c. The chase, column and head rules, and side and foot sticks, are also offered for side. NOTARY PUBLIC. W. E. Rose, Esq., of Yorkville, has been appointed a Notary Public, by Governor Soott KING'S MOUNTAIN RAIL ROAD. Hereafter the passenger train on the King's Mountain Rail Road will leave Yorkville, at 5 o'olock, A. M., precisely. It will be remembered that the running of the train is regulated by "Columbia time," which is a half hour faster than Yorkville time. THE BARNWELL JOURNAL. We have received the first number of a new exchange, with the above title, published at Barnwell C. fl., by John S. Shuck. It is a well gotten up paper, and bids fair to be an acquisition to the press of the State. We trust it will prove a permanent institution. ? COTTON GINS. Major James Fagan, of Chester, offers unusual inducements to persons who do or will need ootton gins. Planters interested will do well to read his advertisement, which may be found in another column.

On the outside of this issue, we print from the Laurensville Herald, the grounds of contest of A. S. Wallace, Esq., to a seat in the forty-first Congress from this Congressional District.. Our object in printing the document is to show our readers on what grounds the seat is contested. It is understood that Col. Simpson is preparing a reply, which we will publish so soon as it appears. THE "LAND WE LOVE." The material of this popular magazine, we learn from the Charlotte Democrat, is to be removed from Charlotte to Baltimore, where it will hereafter be published. The Ixind tcc Love has acquired an enviable reputation in its old place of publication. We hope its interests and influence will be advanced by the change, and we tender our best wishes for its success in the noble city of Baltimore. BANKRUPT 8ALES IN CHESTER. On last Tuesday there was quite an entensive sale of real estate belonging to bankrupts, at Chester C. H. We are indebted to Messrs. Thomson and Jefferys, assignees in the cases mentioned, for the following account of the sales: One tract of land, containing 460 acres, was sold to Messrs. Smith and Melton for $1,840. Another tract of 903 acres, was purchased by the same parties at $10,926. Gunhouse & Co bought a tract of 2531 acres for $1,266.50, and A. H. Davega one of 221 acres for $563.50. A lot of 4J acres, in the town of Chester, was sold to Giles J. Patterson for $195, and another lot, containing a blacksmith's shop, was bought by A. H. Davega, at $530. All the above property was sold as assets of the estate of E. C. McLure. A house and lot in Chester, belonging to the estate of T. M. Graham, was purchased by George Robertson, at $1,110. A tract ofland, containing 538 acres and belonging to the estate of John Dye, was purchased by Stephen Ferguson, at $1,479.50. An encouraging feature of these sales is the fact Ant Apv indicate a di9Dosition. on the part of can italists. to invest in real estate. THE HOMESTEAD IN THE COURTS. Judge Carpenter, of the Charleston Circuit, has recently had before him, the question of the constitutionality of the "Homestead" exemption law. The case was that of Joseph Purcell, for another, rs. Dr. J. E. Whaley. Whaley had in 1866, confessed judgment to the plaintiff for $3,368.70; and the Sheriff recently levied the execution upon the defendant's plantation; laying off, before sale, a homestead of the value of $1,000. The plaintiff filed his objections to the allotment of the homestead, and the case was argued pro and con. Judge Carpenter, in a lengthy opinion, decides that the Homestead Law is unconstitutional and void as to liens existing previous to the passage of the homestead law. After citing numerous authorities, the opinion concludes with these points: "The facts in this case show that the judgment was rendered more than a year before the passage of the Homestead Law; that the only real estate owned by the defendant, is the tract of land containing about four hundred acres levied on; and that at Sheriff's sale it will not sell for more than twenty-four hundred dollare, although its real value for planting purposes is between four and five thousand dollars. This judgment was by law a vested right, a lien, a contract. Ilad the State the constitutional power to divest the plaintiff of his rights, and invest the defendant with them ? Upon the principle involved in this case, there is no difference between liens by mortgage and judgment The former are specific, the latter general! but both are vested, legal rights, entitling the holders to a sale of the property, or so much thereof as will be sufficient to satisfy the demand. In my judgment, so much of the Act of the General Assembly as exempts apy portion of the land levied on from sale under this execution, is in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, and void. It is therefore ordered that the Sheriff proceed to sell the property levied upon and advertised for sale in this case2 without regard to the provisions of the law in relation to the Homestead, passed since the rendition of the judgment, and that he execute the process of the Court, enforcing the judgment according to the remedy existing at time of the [ rendition of the judgment, and the making of the contract between the parties." The case will doubtless go before the Supreme Court of the State for a final hearing. If that tri banal sustains Judge Carpenter's views, the Sheriff will be at work again, undoing the calculations of ifiany families who have relied upon this law as their only protection from want. The people of the State are not ready to have a final opinion pronounced on this question now. A year or two more, with ordinary prosperity, will result in the honest debtor's having compromised his old dues, and relieved himself from the fear of the Sheriff, i We hope the Supreme Court will not hurry to a' ^ ^ . ?ft? decision of this question ;-and by this means $ve our. people aiurther breathing speH. Every day is i , diminishing the amount of indebtedness, under i fair compromises. A year or two more is all that is needed. 1 END OF THE TREASON TRIALS. | In the United States District Court for Virginia, on the 11th instant, the District Attorney, acting , under instructions from Attorney-General Evarts, , entered a nolle prosequi in both indictments against | Jefferson Davis, rod in those against Lee, Bracken- | ridge, Hampton, Longstreet, Early and thirty-four other prominent civil and military officers of the late Confederacy. On motion of Mr. Ould, the j Court discharged the securities on Mr. Davis' bail < bond fkua further responsibility. This action of the Court ia based upon President Johnson's reoent amnesty proclamation. It puts an end to the bugaboo of punishment, which has hitherto been held over the heads of promi- ' nent Southerners, both reconstructed and unrecon- , structed. It also closes the farce of ordering Mr. ( Davis to Richmond for trial, at stated periods. The United States Court has buried the hatchet, < and genuine peace has at length been declared be- , tween the North and South. Congress may hold out in its disposition to punish participants in the rebellion a little while longer; but it, too, will at i length succumb to the soothing power of time, and j let poor, helpless "rebs" depart in peace. 1 The above named gentlemen are, by this action, ( restored to all their civil rights, and such of them i as may be in foreign land&are at liberty to return to | this country, without fear ef moleotati'on. General Breokenridge has already arrived at Baltimore, \ as the guest of his brother-in-law, Bev. Dr. Bullock, and will probably return to his old home in i Kentucky. j CONGRESSIONAL. NEWS. < On the 9th, the Senate was occupied during the entire day in the discussion of the 15th amend- ] ment, which was finally passed, with some alteration, by a vote of 40 to 10. As passed by the ' Senate, it reads: "No discrimination shall be made in the United States among the citizens of * the United States, in the exercise of tbe elective j franchise, or in the right to hold office in any State, ( on aooonnt of race, color, nativity, property, education or creed." Tbe amendment now goes to ( tbe House for concurrence. i On the 10th, both Houses assembled in tbe ball 1 of the House of Representatives, to count the i electoral votes for President and Vice-President of s the United States. Tbe counting resulted as fed- i lows: For President?Ulysses S. Grant received < 214 votes; Horatio Seymour received 80. For t Vice President?Schuyler Colfax received 214 votes; Francis P. Blair received 80. Ulysses S. Grant and Schuyler CoHaxwere, therefore, declared elect ed President and Vice-President of the United J States for the four years beginning March 4th, ( 1869. Virginia, Texas and Mississippi sent no f votes. ( Daring the counting, a difficulty arose regarding 1 the votes of Qeorgia and Louisiana, an account of t which may be found in another column. Thequar- f reliog growing out of this difficulty occupied the t House the remainder of the tenth, all of the elev- 1 enth and part of the twelfth, when Butler's re60- * lotion of oensure on the Senate was laid on the ta- e ble, and the subject was dropped. j On the 11th, the Senate resumed the considers- c tion of the Finanoe and Currency bill, but without i reaching any conclusion. i On the 13th, the written acceptance of the Pre- r sidency and Vioe-Presidency by Grant and Colfax, s was presented. That of Gen. Grant is as follows: 1 "Gentlemen :?Please notify the two Houses J of Congress of my acceptance of the important I trust as President of the United States,, and say to j them that it will be ray endeavor that they, and those who elected me, shall have no reason to regret their action." ( "counting the vote. i On the 10th instant, the two Houses met in c joint session in the haH of the House of Represen tatives, for the purpose of counting the electoral 1 vote of the States for President and Vice President. This ceremony was intended to be very im- c posing, and a large concourse of spectators had as- c sembled to witness it. But, owing to a slight dif- * ference of opinion between the two Houses, the 1 august proceedings gradually degenerated into an r exciting squabble, in which Butler and Wade were T thfe principal actors. " The counting was done very smoothly until the 1 vote of Louisiana was reached, when Mullins, of Tennessee, objected to its being counted. Each a House being obliged to vote separately on receiv- r ing the vote of a State, the Senate retired to its ? own chamber. On their return, it was found that 5 both Houses had decided to admit the vote, and 1 4 the counting was resumed. When Georgia was reached, Butler objected and a on KAI/WA Tko TTAIIOO wnfiJfl 8 IUC OeiJcUC 1UIUCU, ac? UC1UIV. J.UV lAvugv tvwu against, and the Senate in favor of, receiving the ? vote of Georgia. Mr. Wade, President of the Senate, and also presiding officer of the joint ses- v sion, announced that the vote would be counted. Butler again objected, but Wade would not sus- * tain the objection. Wade raised a laugh, being J somewhat confused by the uproar, by deciding that "if the vote of Georgia would alter the result, it ? was not to be counted: but if it did not alter the result, it was to be counted." Butler, however, still objected, and when Wade " refused to reverse his decision, appealed to the a House, asking whether they would allow them- * selves to be over-run by the Senate. Many Representatives responded that they would be heard ; .n but Wade would allow no appeal. The result of J the vote was then read, in the midst of a deafening uproar and cries of order. At this point, Mr. Colfax, Speaker of the House, came to Wade's assistance, and springing to the Speaker's desk, y ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest all disor- a derly persons, In a short time the Sergeant had his men distributed through the House, and mem- i bers resumed their dignity, when the result was again announced, and the Senate retired. When the House recovered possession of its own dunghill, Butler offered the following resolution; ^ "i?eso?mf, That the House protests that the counting of the vote of Georgia, by the order of the Vice President pro. tem., was a gross act of oppression and an invasion of the rights and privileges of the House." The discussion of this resolution occupied the remainder of that day and all of next day, and brought B. F. into trouble with some members j of his own House. On the 11th, the follow- J ing resolution, in response to Butler's, was offer- ^ * -* ? . i? n . , ered in tne senate, ana iaia over ror iature acsion: "Resolved, That the noisy, disorderly conduct of Benj. F. Butler, and other members of the House, J during the counting of the votes for President and Vice President, whereby said business was disturbed and obstructed, is disreputable to said Benj. F. Butler and other representatives acting with him, and a wrong and insult to the people of the * United States." ^ Our readers will probably oome to the conclusion that there is good ground for both resolutions, and J that this is a very pretty little specimen of the amenities of Congressional debates. "N # ^ ? AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. The people of Georgia have set a good ex- f ample to their sister States of the South, by v organizing a system of agricultuval societies a throughout the State. They have also an annual ], Agricultural Convention, composed of delegates t from the local societies, which exist, we believe, in t most of the counties. This Convention has recent- 1 ly met in Atlanta, and there is little doubt but that its deliberations will prove a benefit to the s State. The correspondent of the Augusta Con- c stitutionalist says that some of the first men in i Georgia were delegates: that all seemed very earn- o est, and resolved to advance the agricultural inter- r ests of their State. Among the many matters of interest discussed, j was the reduction of the cost of Peruvian Guano, c by the appointment of a committee to confer with 1! the Peruvian^othorities. Daring this disaueion, the fact was developed that the price could be reduced to $30 per ton. Had the Convention done nothing more, this suggestion, if carried out, will more than repay the subordinate societies for whatever expense the delegates may have imposed upon them. ' . ; ' The subject of immigration also received the attention of the Convention. A resolution was adopted, earnestly urging the Legislature to pass, the bill for the encouragement of immigration, now before it, and- to appropriate $10;000 to carry out its provisions. The system of labor favored by the Convention is embodied in the following resolution, which was adopted: "Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention money wages, where practicable, is the best policy for the planters and farmers of Georgia; and to secure reliable labor for the whole crop Reason, certificates of character should he required of the laborer, and if such laborer offers for hire during the cropping season, a certificate of leave or discharge snail be required of former employer." Many other subjects of practical importance were brought before the Convention, and in nearly every instance, committees were appointed to investigate and report at.the next meeting, in a way which will enable the Convention to take action upon them. Among these were the new prooess for making sugar and syrup from sorghum, the best method of preparing food for animals and of tdministering it to the manufacture of ootton seed oil and oil-calte, and the equalization of local and through freights on railroads. On the vital subject of the crops to be planted this year, the Convention spoke as follows: "Whereas, It is of prime import&oee to the agricultural interests of onr State, and to the successful and permanent maintenance of our independence as planters, that our system of planting ihould have special reference to the production of provisions; and Whereas, The tendency of the present high price of cotton is to the appropriation of an undue proportion of our lands in this staple, to the neglect of grain; therefore ^Resolved, by this Convention, That it is our policy to produce au amount of grain and other provision sufficient for home consumption, giving cOtxin, in respect to this interest, a secondary consideration." We have devoted mftre space to this Convention ;han we usually allow to matters of a local nature n other States, because it shows how our neighx>rs across the Savannah appreciate the importmce of agriculture, and how they are trying to assist in its development. Would it not be well for South Carolina to wake up, and try the beneficial effects of combined effort for the benefit of agriculnm 9 ?UIV 4 MERE-MENTION.

Major R XL MoKnight belter known as the authorof several tooohing poeatajuod humor- ( ous letters, written wnfle he was a prisoner of war on JohnBbb'8 Island, over" the signature of "Asa Harts," died in New Orleans on the 10th instant, of consumption.

Validity of Specie Tbtttracts. On Monday last, the Supreme Court of the United States decided that the acts making gold and silver legal money, have never been repealed. It was held that we have two kinds of legal tender money?the one gold and silver, the other paper; that a oontract made for the payment of either is valid and binding, and can be enforced. The constitutionality of the legal tender act is not involved in this decision, the question before the Court being simply the validity of a specie contract. Afraid of the Rail Road. One of the Gentlemen annointed to make the surveys necessary for running the township lines in this County, related to us th* following incident which we think too good to keep: One day he ran his line towards a bright object on a hill at some distance, which, on closer inspection, proved to be a tin pan located in a kitchen window. From this point he proceeded to run the line through the kitchen and out at the door. At this juncture he was interrupted by the lady of the house, a venerable matron, who had watched his operations hitherto with the most intense interest With uplifted hands and pleading eyes, she approached him and exclaimed, "For the Lord's sake, captain, don't ran the railroad through my house." Pardon of Sanford Coaover. Our readers will probably remember the name of Sandford Conover, the snborner of per- , jnred witnesses at the trial of Mrs. Surratt He also figured in the impcachmeutembroglio, having revealed to President Johnson a plot 6f Ashley, Holt and Stanton to implicate him (the President) in the assassination of Lincoln. This disclosure was made to induce Mr. Johnson to gTant him a pardon, Conover being then under sentence for the crime of peijury. Owing to the fact that a pardon from the President, at that time, wonld have appeared to be granted from interested motives, the pardon was refused, and Conover was consign- , ed to the peaceful retirement of Siqg-Sirig peniten- i tiary, New York, for ten years. Bat a recent i Washington telegram states that Conover has been ' pardoned by the President, at lasi imonAmAntfl PrnnAflPft. ' The Constitution has not yet been amended i enough to suit Congress. An amendment has ' been introduced, in the House, providing that hereafter qualified electors shall vote directly for , President and Vice-President, instead of each State j appointing electors for the purpose. In case any 1 two or more candidates shall have a tie vote, both Houses of Congress are to determine which of the candidates having the highest number of votes shall have the position. Another proposed amendment is that Senators , shall hereafter be chosen by the people of each 1 State, instead of the Legislatures, and that the j term of office of Representatives shall hereafter 1 be four years, Both propositions were referred 1 to the Judiciary Committee, and ordered to be , printed. Butler again Bottled. 1 Mr. B. P. Butler, who is also known by several j titles of distinction, gained in his eventful oivil ( and military career, is one of those sons of genius ] who always come out of the little end of the horn, j When charged with the duty of governing those ' who have abandoned all thought of resistance to . his authority, he ever proved himself a sUccesful ( ruler. But wherever he has encountered opposition, the matchless B. F. has invariably found it , necessary to succumb. This he always does with < a great deal of noise, after the manner of an ex- < piring squib. The laurels of his military renown are yet fresh and green; but their splendour is dimmed by the brighter laurels he has since gained { by his Congressional exploits. I His latest performance in the role of "bottleimp" occurred after the counting of the electoral i votes in joint session of Congress. His conduct 1 on that occasion was described, in a resolution of- ( fered to the Senate, as "noisy, disorderly, disre- ? putable and iusulting." In his own branch of ] Congress, he was elegantly termed a "fiend from t hell" by Mr. Bingham, of Ohio. This compli- ^ ment was elicited by Butler's having proposed to 5 kick the Senate out of the joint session. B. F., J however, kept up the debate on his resolution, f (censuring the Senate,) for nearly two days, but was at length defeated. His resolution was tabled, ( and he was "bottled up" until further notice. 1 The Contested Election in the 3d District. ? The election of J. P. Reed to Congress from } the Third Congressional District of Sooth Carolina having been contested by S. L. Hoge, the examination of witnesses on the part of the contestant is now going on at Colombia, before W. H. Wigg, Judge of Probate. The Phcenix says: "The examination of Talbud occupied the greater part of Friday and Saturday* and we are informed that it was, in many respectSj the most extraordinary evidence that ever was given. He confessed, in his examination, to the murder of Randolph, and gave in full the shocking details. The examination is continued from 9 o'clock in the' morning until 9 o'clock at. night. Question and cross-question are followed up with rapidity, and we suppose the evidence in print in this case will fill a printed volume as big as a family Bible.? Will it be as truthful ? We understand that Mr. Hoge proposes to examine in the District 500 witnesses; and, probably, Mr. Reed as many more. Who will ever read it? Mr. Hoge has selected Columbia to conduct the examination of many of his witnesses, because he does not consider his person safe in Newberry, Abbeville and Edgefield Counties." Masonic Elections.

Remains of Mrs. Snrratt. t ??By order of the government, the remains of j Mrs. Surratt, now universally admitted to have been judicially murdered, were recently disinterred v md restored to her family. This restoration has ( been asked for a long time, by her children; but * for "reasons of State," it has heretofore been re- ^ fused. The disinterment was conducted in a very private manner, as positive orders had been given g that all show and parade must be avoided. The tl funeral was also private, only her children and one o or two intimate friends of the family being present v. As to the condition of the remains, the Washing- * ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: j ""The box was opened, and although the body was somewhat decomposed, it was not offensive. 1< The dress, gaiters ana black silk bow at the neck tl were all in a perfect state of preservation. The o hair was also perfect, and did not seem to have a been disarranged in the least A steel arrow pin e ; 4 i-. with which Aqsw Samtt fastened the bow abqot her mother's neck, just before she waif led to eiecutdon, was abo in pboe. A* lock of thi hair was clipped off Ibr Annie 8uiTatrht herreqqgtf. Up* on examining Mrs. Stuantt's 1m, it wasMOvered that the rope, with which her feet were tied just before the aropfeTl, haff'disappeared, and this at first occasioned seme remark, but those who witnessed the execution will remember that when Mrs. Surratt was cut down, the rope became loosened and it was thrown aside."

Several members objected to the bill, for the folowing, among other reasons: The bonds are only o be used in case of contingencies, said contingencies not being sufficiently specific. There is too vide a door opened for, and too great a temptation jffered for foul dealing by financial^agents, or )thers whose doty it may pe to manipulate the unds provided. The provision of the oil], taken n connection with the condition of the Treasury, ender it quite pouihie for the State to lose the inerest aooruing on said bonds from the 1st day of January last to toe ume wnen me saiu oonus are ised, involving an amount of .$5,833,33 per nonth.
