The Chicago Journal (radical) says: "It is reported that cadet-peddler Butler tried to shield himself from expulsion by appealing to the Masons of the Committee and House as such.

A neat little trick is being perpetrated on the New York public by the directors of the Pneumatic Tunnel.

This neat little trick is one worthy the best minds ever produced by the State of Massachusetts. The Augusta Chronicle, of a recent date, says: "On yesterday a little daughter of Dr. William G. Phillips, Isabel Phillips, aged | eighteen months, died from the effects, of poison.

It is commonly believed that London is the largest city in the world, but the belief, is erroneous. Jeddo, the capital of Japan, is | without exception, the largest city in the ; world. It contains the vast number of one j million dwellings and five million human souls. Many of the streets are nineteen Japaneseries in length?twenty-two English miles. The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds that of any other city in the world, and the sea along the coast is constantly white with sails from the southern portion of the empire, where they are laden with rice, tea, sea coal, tobacco, silk, cotton and tropical fruits, all of which can find ready market in the north, t and then return freighted with corn, salt, I isinglass, and various other produtions which j have a market in the south. The New York correspondent of the Journal describes a new invention for displacing steam by electricity, and says that lathes, planing-machines, and other mechanical arrangements are driven by this power.' To run an engine of twenty-horse power by this invention would require only a space of three feet long, two feet wide, and two feet high. The cost per day would be thirty-five cents. On a steamship no coal would be required, and the space now used for coal and machinery oould . be used for cargo. The stubborn resistance of electricity to mechanical use heretofore has, it is believed, been overcome. A continuous battery has been secured and other difficulties removed, principally through the coil of the magnet If the invention works as well on the large scale as it does on the machinery to which it is now applied, steamships will soon ply the ocean under a new propelling power. A machine of great capacity is being constructed, and will soon be on exhibition in New York. The whole thing, mighty enough to carry a Cunarder to Liverpool, can be secured in a small trunk.

Ou last Thursday evening Governor Scott made a speech at a Radical meeting in Colombia, held with a view to the coming municipal election in that city. Although the proceedings of York Court have 110 connection with the election of a Mayor and Aldermen for Columbia, he took that occasion for paying his respects to oar grand jury, as follows : "I have in ray pocket a newspaper roll of a militia company of native white men, of York County, whom I was compelled to organize for the protection of their own lives and property. Men were taken out, tietf, whipped, and some beaten to death, while their dwellings were burning. I have in ray hand the YorkviUe Enquirer, containing a copy of the presentment of the Grand Jury of York County, in which they present as a nuisance the militia company I organized there. I would like some gentlemen here to show me a newspaper with a presentment o? a lirana J ury, setting forth as a nuisance the acts of those parties who destroyed the property of Republicans or good and peaceable citizens. I would like to see where a Grand Jury has presented as a nuisance any of those organizations balided together for the purpose of blood and arson, and of disturbing the public peace.v( When our opponents want to claim all that good citizens are entitled to claim, let them present and show up some of these wrong-doers. When they do that, then we shall have faith in what they say. Until then we must regard them as the accomplices of bad men, if not actual participants in their crimes." His Excellency virtually says the grand jury's presentment is not to be believed, and that for the singular reason that other juries have never presented "organizations banded together for blood and arson." Now, so far | as this grand jury is concerned, they did, in their statement of facts, present that some' persons have been maltreated by bands of men illegally assembled for that purpose ; but, after examining more tha i forty witnesses of all classes and parties, they found nothing to implicate any citizen of this county. They did not present organizations for murder and arson, simply because they had no evidence, of the existence of any such organizations. Nor have they, or any body else, heard of any case in York, in which men were "beaten to death while their dwellings were burning." Yet, because the jury, after spending two weeks in examining the evidence, vindicated the law-abiding spirit o: our people, and declared that a military company is Unnecessary for preserving the peace, the Governor of the State speaks of them as "our opponents" and regards them as the "accomplices of bad men, if not actual participants in their crime." This broad charge is unfortunate for his Ex - * a .1 cellency; for it so happens that seven 01 tne jury were colored, and all of these, we believe, belong to the Governor's party. His Excellency says he was "compelled" to organize a militia company, in York county. The jury intimates that he was not compelled to do this; for they say .the substitution of military for civil power was not only unnecessary for, but dangerous to, the peace of the county. As the jury speak after patient investigation of evidence, we are forced to the conclusion that Governor Scott did not read their statement of facts, either because he jumped to the conclusion that the jury falsified the evidence before them, or because he does not desire to know the facts. In either case he has made a mistake in raising a question of veracity between himself and the gentlemen of this grand jury. In York, where they are known, many of them stand quite as high, in point of character, as his Excellency. When he chooses to set his bare word against their sworn statement, the people of this county, without reference to race or party, will believe the statements of the grand jury. THE ISTHTAMENDMENT. On the 30th ultimo, the President transmitted to Congress the proclamation of the Secretary of State, announcing that the 15th Amendment has been ratified by the Legislatures of 29 States, and that having received the ratification of three-fourths of the States, it is now a part of the constitution of the United States. The President accompanied the proclamation with a message, in which he excuses his departure from the custom of sending such notices without messages, on the ground of the vast importance of the amendment ratified. He considers it a measure of grander importance than any other one act of the kind since the formation of this government. He calls upon tne colored race to strive in every nonorable manner to make themselves worthy of their n#w privilege, and entreats the white race to withhold no legal privilege of advancement from the new citizen. As education is the great means for qualifying citizens for a proper discharge of their duties, he urges Congress to take all means within their constitutional powers to promote and encourage popular education throughout the country. In order to secure the benefits contemplated by the amendment, he calls upon the people everywhere to see to it that all who possess and exercise political rights shall have the opportunity to acquire that knowledge which will make their share in the government a blessing, and not a danger. While it is by 110 means clear that the 15th amendment is a good measure, the President has pointed out the only means by which the danger threatened, that of putting political power into the hands of persons totally unqualified to use it, may be averted. We think it the most rash act ever committed by any free nation, to make the age of twenty-one years the sole qualification for citizenship. But it has been done, and the only remedy for the evil is to educate ignorant citizens to a knowledge of their duties, as Speedily as it can be done. TAMPERING VlTH RECORD8. The people of Barnwell county have been put-to no little tronble by the question, whether the last term of the court was to be held at Blackville or B^rnwelL In the act of the Legislature, specifying the times and places for holding courts in the several judicial districts of the State, Btfrnwell was named as the place for holding court for Barnwell county. But this seemed strange, as the Legislature had made Blackville the seat of justice for that county. To settle the matter, the records in the office of the Secretary of State were examined, and Blackville was found to be the appointed place. In conformity with this, court was held at Blackville. The solution of the mystery is that F. L. Cardoza, Secretary of State,, had erased the word "Barnwell," and written "Blackville" instead. He did this on the assumption that the Legislature intended to make Blackville the seat of justice, which assumption is reasonable enough; for the Legislature refused to " ? < ? .t- 1 r t?i_ pass a Dili transiernng me court iruui x?n*eKville to Barnwell. Still it was a change which the Secretary had no1 right to muki^ The records are put in his care expressly to guard against fraudulent changes. If the Legislature make a mistake, the responsibility is theirs, not his. His sole duty, in reference to the records, is to see that they are word for word exactly as they come into his hands. In order to test the matter, he was called upon to furnish a copy of the original bill, with a copy of his alterations of it He refused to do this, by the advice of the AttorneyGeneral. A writ of mandamus was then served on him, enjoining him to restore the words he had erased. The case was tried before Judge Melton, in Colombia) last week; but the Judge has reserved his opinion for a few days. When it is published, our readers will be furnished with it. STATE ITEMS. ' ' ?

Lee came .out on the platform and, having been intfbduced, was greeted with deafening cheers. His stay in Columbia was but briefo as he went through on the same train on which he'eame. 1 On arriving at Augusta, about half past nine at night, he was met by the Mayor of the city and a committee of cifizens, who escorted him 'totthe Planters' Hotel. He intended leaving Ajhgusta the next morning, but at the earnest ?nf frUo Afovnr onrl nt.Vipr orpnflnmen BfMVIMtlUU Ul IHL AIJL?JV? V...V. B wfao&alled, he consented to remain a day in the city, declining, however, any public demonstration. He arrived at Savannah on Friday evening, where he was met with warm wdcome. At last accounts he was the guest , of.Geo. A. R. Lawton, one of his old brigadiers. .? f Gen. Geo. H. Thomas. p Gen. Geo. H. Thomas, one df the highI est ranking and most prominent officers of the j United Statos army, died in San Francisco, California, on the29th ultimo. '.His remains were s6nt to Troy, N. Y., and were to be buried some time this week: Gen. Grant announced the event to his Cabinet and expressed his intention of attending the funeral. A meeting of officers who had served under Gen. Thomas, some fifty in number, was held in Wash- ] ington,to give some suitable expression of their respect for the memory of the deceased. Among those present were twelve members of Congress apd one of the Cabinet. General Thomas was by birth a Virginian, but at the breaking out of the war took up arms against his section and State, and was one of the ablest among her enemies. ,His chief claims to mili itarv renown are founded upon his sai\ ition nf Rosencranz' army from utter rout, at Chicamauga, and his defence of Nashville against Hood's heroic but rash invasion, in 1864. His death leaves a vacancy of major-general, which -Is not likely tc be filled, as Congress has two bills before it for reducing the number of officers in the army. The Richmond Mayoralty. Judge Underwood has decided the contest for the Mayoralty of Richmond in favor of Chfihoon, whom the military appointed. He granted ihe injunction ordering Ellyson to'surrender the property of the city in his ' possession. He also refused an appeal, on : the ground that the injunction is temporary, | extending only till themext term?some thirty i days off. By advice of his counsel Ellyson disobeyed the injunction, in order to give the U.S. authorities an opportunity to arrest him, in which event the case can be brought before ?r? ;hf Supreme Court, oil,a writ of habeas corpus. The U. S. Marshal did serve an order from ;he Clerk of the Circuit Court, directing the Jjectibn of Ellyson from the city hall, but thSlglter refused to vacate. The Marshal then brought lip a military forpe, on which Ellyson retired to another building owned by the city, where he still holds court and issues orders to (lis subordinates. f ' Although the decision.of Underwood has noTbeen ehforcetf, because of the unwillingness of the Chahoon party to bring the case before the Supreme Court by arresting Ellyson, it is eagerly used by ejected officers ip nther cities in Virginia. The consequence is that many military appointees, who had surrendered their offices to successors appointed by civil authorities, are on the war path to recover their lost offices. This shows, how much mischief a partizan judge can do. Female Suffrage tn Congress. On the 4th instant, a joint resolution waaoflbred in the House of Representatives, nmnhaincr a BiYteanth amendment of the Con I?I _ 3titution. It was referred to the judiciary committee. The resolution is as follows: Sec. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Sec. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. The Negro Exodr*. -Ea^ta are constantly coinmg to light, showing that the"Westward migration or the colored race is steady and. on the increase. We annex two illustrations from opposite quarters: ;The. $ew Orleans Times, on the authority of a "large planter just returned from Chattanooga," states that by the regular official accounts of the railroads at the Tatter place, it appears that 31,000 negroes have passed through, on their way to the States of Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana.., .j A Washington telegram of the 30th ult? to,the Richpipnd Dispatch, says: "A party pi 2,000 colored men leave here on Saturday next to work on a railroad in Louisiana. They receive twenty-five cents per day, with rations and transportation furnished free." ;, Bloody Affray in Laurens. .1 im The Laurensvifte Herald, of last week, says: "A serious affray, resulting in the death ol ora man and the dangerous wounding of three others, occurred on the 23rd ult., at the residence of .Josiah F. Leak, near the Tumbling Shoals, ten miles west of this village. It appears that J. Seabrook Leak, the brother ol Josiah F. Leak, remained on Tuesday night at a Mr. Bolt's, near the residence of J. F. Leak, whom he wished to see on business, and that;?? Brown was accompanying Seabrook t ?~1.. Dm wfldnoorlav Ttinrninc Brown went uuaiv* wu vv vuuwum^ ?. t r to the house of Leak, and a difficulty'occurred wjth the Occupants 'of J. P. Leak's house, in which Brown was severely wouhded. In a short time Scabrook Leak came Upon the sceneand Also -?Bolt, and the fight became general. Seabr'ook Leak was killed <^ead and Bolt his companion, Severely woundect The occupants of the house were Pinckney Wilson, Shockley, Morgan Leak, son ol Josiah F. Leak, and probably J. F. Leak, al the beginning of the fray. Wilson was se verely wounded in two places. For the Yorkvill e Enquirer. "EDUCATION OF THE COLORED RACE." Me. Editor : In looking over the Enquirer of the 31st of March, I was struck with two things. The first thing that arrested roj attention was the leading editorial on "The Ediicatiqr of tjie Colored Race." ahd the nexl was the advertisement or Rev. R. Lathan School Commissioner of this county. I read and re-read both carefully. From the ad vertisement, most of which was simply an extract from the Acts of the General Assembly of the State, I discovered that a new state d] things was inaugurated. If the School Commissioner is faithful in the discharge of hit duty, the money which is and may hereaftqi be appropriated for educational purposes wil not be squandered. From the School Law a copy of which has lately been put in' my hands by a friend from another county, I many things that are new, as well as the ad vertisement referred to?many things which I must confess, in spite of all my prejudice and misgivings, I most heartily , approve One thing is plainly set forth in the law, tfhifcl nearly concerns every Southern man. It i tkis: Provisions are made for educating *al A i t * ^ i.. f T. i ? the. children in the State, irrespective of raci or color. This, I think; is right, morally, po litically and socially.- This, if I am not mis ton ia the sentiment of the editorial allod ed to. Politically the African race are entitled t* all the rights and titles to which the whit man is entitled. It is of no use to stpp am argue about the right and wrong of the thing It is a fixed fact. Our forraerslaves are no only free, but they are politically equal, ii every particular, with their former masters We must not flinch'From this thing. It is n? fancy. Now the question comes up: Shouh the colored man* simje he is free and a,citi zen entitled to all the rights and honors of i citizen, be educated, or should he not ? I sa; most emphatically, he should. If is for hi and the white man's interest. No difficult; has ever existed between the two races, no does any exist n6w. No two races of peopL ever dwelt together aid cherished fbr eacl other so much kind feeling as the white an< black' races do, right here in York county, am all over the South. The sensible colored peo pie ftjqpt^t^e feet ^h(>f Jfa A whole, their rao is not qualified, at present, to be citizens. Th< reason is the widespread and gloomy igno ranee which prevails amongst that race. Never, so long as both races inhabit thi land, and there is not a mutual confidence ii each other, can it be prosperous and free fron ultraism. The sooner confidence is restore between the white man and the colqred man the better it will be for all parties. The seal awag and carpet-bagger may desire a state o alienation to continue, but ihe man who ex pects to live and die in this ,ihe land of hi birth, the home of his children and the# burial ground of his fathers, longs for rest. Th great instrumentality by which this*quiet ma; be brought about is?educating the eolorst people: ' ' 'Your correspondent does not advocate tb .educating of the races in the same school Si/ch an undertaking would be murdero?. Nd sensible man of either race would adyc cate such a doctrine. It would make thing infinitely worse than they are or ever hav been. I do hope that no man, however zeal ous he may be for the general diffusion o knowledge, will advocate tnis thing. It woul< kindle a flame of hate which would barn uj everything good connected with free sehools r, itr. BETHEL. A Sockdologer.?Revels, the negro Sena ator occupies the seat once occupied by.
