There isa man in Glen's Falls, N. Y., who won't believe any stories about the sagacity of dogs, He says dogs havenot common sense.

AH in favor will raise tbeir hands." i Nine-tenths of the dexter paws present instantly went up, and there was asud-M den hush of all noisy demonstrations. The lecturer went on with his original subject fora few minutes, when some incautious individual broke otat: "Say, w Here's the story V* "Bless you," was the replv, "I did not intend to tell any such story. I only wanted to know how many blackguards are present." You might hitve'heard a pin drop at any time during the lecture after that. ?? The Rev. T. H. Pritchard, D. D., of Raleigh, North Carolina, writes: "I find that the fifteen largest salaries paid by Baptist churcheB in towns in North Carolina aggregate $10,950,and average $730 each; the same number of salaries in South Carolina aggregate $17,500, and average $1,166 each ; the a a ma nnmkor in Virorinifl. $15,158. v ?

"oo ?o ? j 1 and- average $1,670; the same number in Kentucky aggregate $28,400, and average $1,893; white in Georgia the aggregate for the same number is $90,100, and the average for each $3,000. It thus-appears that, in tne towns at least, Georgia pays the largest salaries, and North Carolina for the smallest." It is said that Mr. Dickson, the. wellknown Georgia planter, has determined to found a city m Hancock county, to be called Dickson city. The grounds of the place have already been laid out, and they afford ample scope for forms, manufactories and other interests. Reservations have been made in the plan for churches, schools, public buildings, markets, Ac. We are informed that Mr, , Dickson is now appointing agents to solicit immigration from the North, South, East and West, and it is expected that by next spring Dickson city will boast of a population of 10,060. If Mr. Dickson is as successful m raising a city as he is in raising corn and cotton, we may look out for something marvelous.? Charleston News. ??It is tolerably well established that Gov ernor English is elected in Connecticut, which result shows a large Democratic gain from last year; and as evidence that the movement against Radicalism is not going backward, we have the Democratic victories in Missouri and Michigan. -Detroit City and Wayne county have gone largely-Democratic, and returns from the State, so for as received, show extensive gains on the same side. The cities hare mostly elected Democratic mayors, and the result, aii a whole, is highly encouraging, following so.swifUyupon the footsteps ofNew Hampshire and Connecticut The St Louis election has an unusual national significance. The Radicals made the issue on national questions. The leading party organ claimed - - \? thai victory at this time meant success next ^ear, and that failure would "ha|e the contrary and disastrous effect" v On this platform they put their heat raeiyaad meLjrith ani ut: ter defeat, which, .accordinjttpJheir own admission, is a defeat of the National Republican,party in the State. Radicalism has ruled in St Louis for eight years with unchallenged power, and this result is greatly significant. Ik* |^Mk J^nqurrrr '' " " 1 11 ; ' |' - ; iig ; .A*" ?. YOBKyiLLE, S. C?

John E. Pressley, the retiring ModP erator, by the delivery of a fle^mon; from 1st Chrpn. zzix:.}.; Jhe Rev. R.-W. Brice was chosen Moderator. The reports fropiffihe several congregations under the care of the Presbytery were read, and exhibited encouraging evidences of prosperity in all the churches. Calls for pastors were sent up from all the vacant congregations except two. These calls were presented and accepted in every instance. The Rev. L. McDonald accepted the call from the congregation of New Hope, Fairfield county, $. C.; the Rev. E. E. Pressley accepted the call from Shiloh, Lancaster county, 8. C.; the Rev. C. B. Betts accepted the call from the congregations of Union and Neely's Creek?the former in Chester county and the latter in York county, S. C.; the Rev. R. A. Ross accepted the Call from Smyrna congregation, in this county, for one half of his time. The meeting was a very pleasant one. Harmony prevailed in all the deliberations. On Sabbath the Presbyterian and'Baptist pulpits of this place were occupied by members of t^ Presbytery. The next meeting of the Presbyter}' will beat Back Creek Church, in Mecklenburg county, N.

In faqt, the minds of the ?? ---11" !% >??/* /?j*oaflv ovniforl peopit} gOUBlttUJ 11 avc USUI w?~..~v. , threatening at several periods civil conflicts. It would be useless to attempt an enumeration of the trials through which the farming class has had to pass, and the difficulties it has had to contend with. In spite of all these, however, the farms of the Cotinty, so far ds we have seen them, are in fine Condition. The fences have been well repaired and the ground well plowed. The prospects for a crop'are, we think, good. If the powers that be will only let the poor negro alone and not send him any more guns, or addle his brain about elections, things will do decidedly, better. By the way, if those who sway the scepter really desire to protect the negro, there is a good opening in several localities in this county. Hunger has invaded certain sections an'd so weakened the physical powers of man and beast, that neither are able to work. We do not know of a more charitable act those who hold the purse strings of the State could do than to ship to this oounty, at their own;expense, some two or three hundred mules and feed for one year. We recommend this on the principle, "you tickle me and I will tickle you." One good turn deserves anotner. The prospect for a fine fruit crop is good. Since the-blooming of fruit trees, there have been no frosts, and hence the fruit is not injured, and the prospect is that we will have an abundance of good fruit. The wheat and oats look promising. Taking all things into consideration, our people are in a better condition than they were this time last year. This we are convinced is due to the energy of the people in developing the resources of the soil, and especially to a kind Providence. All that South Carolina needs to become great, is that her people go to work sensibly, and that outsiders let her alone and stop deviling her with fool laws and unjust taxation. There has been enough of money spent foolishly?yes wickedly? since the surrender, to have built a railroad from the seaboard to the mountains. We hope, such a state of things is drawing to a close. * * ; - & ?; ' : THE KU-KLUX BILL. The enforcement or Ku-Klux bill, now in Congress, is ' attracting more attention, from all sections of tfte^^nion, than ahy measure "that has been before Congress for many months. With* the; -history of the bill our readers are familial.; By a special message to Congress the President asked for legislation to extend his ppwersjand enable him to suppress, with the* military arm, certain out^TBi^lT^a'lleged, were of daily occurrence in the; Southern Btatee. His minions, headed by Shellabarger and Butler, Went to work Wftb itidity, and after several weeks of dideuasioh, wangling-and debate, a bill, a synopsis of which we published last week; was passed in tie House, by ft strict party vote, and sent to the Senate for concurrence. ; The action of the Senate on the bill, as it left the House, is represented by Washington correspondents to have been surprising even to the fotwt^rdent ropporters of the measure. Not dhlvJ' Were the amendments of the judi ciary committee adopted, the most important of which was ' a suspension of the writdf' habeas cdrpH& until after the next Presidential election/bttt two others originating in the Senate;'wtere proposed and agreed to. ;Ohe of thertjStritta o;at the section of the House bill whidh tibdlishes the iron-clftd Oath for persons in the federal courts, requiring theta only to swear that they are not members of the Kn-Klux, and the othijr/propoeed bySherman, giving any pertdn Who establishes legally the foot thathe faiu ;beet injured m person or property by the Kai-KIux; the right of reclamation oh 'the property of others in the county in whieh he livWi As will' beseen by the proceedings of Congress; the course of the Senate in adoptahgthese amendments, was not endorsed by theHouse. ' it is understood that Attonley-Ceneral Aberman, with the approval of the President,suggestedtheiHlw and extraordinary modifications accepted by the Stttate. htt>:! . ' / <! It is for 'the purpose of passing thte bill that Congress has been kept together since the 4th of March, at the special-request ;of the President, as shown* oomihunicated in two messages asking for additional- powers to Be given him for the suppression of < allied disorders in the South, which, is only other words/for clothing hih'with the extraordinary discretionary poWer to declare martial law and suspend the writ of habeas corpus in any State of the Union, or, in any city or county of any State, Whenever ' in his judgment the -public sa&tyisfoaU require it" By this, the liberties of American citizens would be ^ measured only,by,President Grant's:powers of "discretion/' '. -M ivi/ i-rj-nt-i .'''"'luk iii-v jSucb legislation can tend in but one direction?to centralization?a government of absolute powers, fettered i by no restraints, save such as may be imposed by the "discretion" of those who administer it. We are pleated to flee the enlightened and influential republican journals of the country ; peaking out against thOse measures. The New York Poet, speaking of the features of the bill which relate to the jurisdiction proposed to be giyeri to the Federal Courts, says::; " -' </ }?>? "Itis iiheon'stitutional, because it assumes national; jurisdiction oyejr municipal police matters, which are not delegated by.the constitution toC<mgre^ ' If itwo persons "coni spirevto febimftteafiy crime -against persons or property, thSs 4)31,- 6y the natural construe' tion.of its terms, takto them fromtbe State , autl^ties and brings them bf&re An United States tribunals as police. court?. It erects wMrife 223?8? UP ^W0 distinct and widely dfy* mpmxt penal codes, for the mko classes of ofjfay see$in the same territory. , * . + ** And this is passed just after the Supreme Court, in the case of Buffington against Day, has decided that the State courts are absolutely independent of the national government, so that it ! cannot interfere with them even to the extent of levying on the salaries of their judges the uniform tax*it levies upon the income of every other citizen." * The Post, concluding its temperate and judicious criticism of the same, sums up its judgment of the whole in the following graVe and emphatic language: "The success of-such a measure? is more to be dreaded than its utter failure. The restoration of order by such means would be a greater calamity to the country than the promotion of disorder by it. It is an attack upon the foundations or civil liberty; an abandonment of that reliance upon law and' upOn public opinion which is the growth of history and the crown of civilization ;. a recurrence to the principles apd methods of barbarism." Thus may be seeh the motives, the means and the end of the extraordinary measure now ijjefore Congress. . .. J?i \ \ PBOCTie^BCfS *OF (JONGfcESS. '/ On the 12th, Senator Sherman's resolution, instructing the Finftnce Committee to consider, dUring the recess of Congress, the best system of reducing the taxes, was adopted. The consideration of the House amnesty bill was deferred, to admit off debatihg tfa? kti-Klus bill. The House resumed th6 consideration of the deficiency appropriatiop bill. The Senate amendment, appropriating $12,000 fol the benefit of destitute aged persons in the District of Columbia was concurred in. A longdiscussion ensued on the amendment repealing the law requiring Congress to meet or the 4th of March, btit no aijtiion'was taken. On the 18th the debate oh "the House. KuKlux bill was continued in the Senate. The House devoted' the day to the consideration of the deficiency and other appropriation bills, On the 14th, the Senate, by a vote of 45. to 19, passed the Ku-KJux bill with the amendments proposed by the Judiciary Committee, with amendments striking out the repeal ol the test oath for United States jurors, leaving thC 'oath as at present, and' also another amencftneirt offered4 by Sherman. In the House' the deficiency bill was again taken np. An amendment was adopted giving $20,000 to rebuild the' orphan asylum of the Sisters 'of Our Lady of Mercy at Charleston; also an amendment requiring National Banks to pay the expenses of printing their notes. An amendment was adopted to the deficiency appropriation bill repealing a portion of that proviso of the legislative appropriation bill oi last year which deprived1 the holders of Presidential pardons of all standing in the Courts. The action now taken by the House, without a dissenting voice, provides for fulfilling the promise of the amnesty proclamation of Det looo ?J 'annlioa nnlir fn rkArrlnnR cemoer, 1000, auu o^uw v?j .~ r-. granted Under said proclamation of President Lincoln, with a view to induce persons to abandon the rebellion, and where they did actually abandon it, and thereafter kept theii I obligations in good fhith. I On the 15th, the Senate postponed the pro! ceedings preliminary to the consideration oi the House amnesty bill, which action is considered unfavorable to the bill. In the House, the Senate amendments to the deficiency bill as amended by the House, authorizing the printing of National bank bills and assessing banks for the expenses, was rejected. The Ku-Klux bill was taken up. The Senate amendment extending the right to the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to j the end of the next regular session of Congress J; j ' "J was rejected, 86 to 93. The amendment re quiring the iron clad oath from Federal ja rors was rejected without division. Sherman' i. amendment assessing damages upon localities in which outrages may be committed, wasdup jeoted by 131 to 45. Other amendments wert concurred in, and a committee of conference' ordered. Shellabarger, Schofield and Kert were appointed on the part of the House, f Id the Senate, onlhd 17th,'t^e Heplifclicar members; after an hQurVcaucus, on motiodr of .Rice,", of Arkansas, tabled, the amnesty; pfofposftiod ofRobertson, introdaced on Sit? urday, the proposition being an amendmedt to the order of business, so as to allow the House amnesty bill to considered at; t& present session. The measure is thus defeated for this session. The Senate refused to recede from its amendments to tha Ku-Klnx bUL (noticed elsewhere at length) by a votejof XT to 30, and a committee of conference dered.

The danger of not heeding the constant , admonition of railroad men npt to stand on the I jjUfbrm when the train is in motion, was ex eiplified in a most serious manner on a rail. rad in North Carolina, on Monday night of - lafweek. A young man, Mr. Daniel, assis? tijt railroad agent at Wilson, having been deained on the platform of a car .until the i\ tr^q had gained such a speed as to render it L im/osoble to jump off with safety, thought i heiwould pass through the train to a passen gel car Jn the rear, but ha found himself in ftoatof the express car,^badoor of which wai locked, and as the car had no railing at i thAend, he held to the knob of the door, 1 tbesuspicious noise occasioned by which so t eicjted the express messenger, who doubtless had visions of the way Northern ku-klux enter express can and rob them while running at full speed, that he fired on the young man, inflicting a severe wound in the shoulder.

A prominent New York paper suggests Charles Sumner as the most suitable man the. Democracy can select as their candidate, and predicts his sure election upon the lesson which the recent elections of New Hampshire And. Connecticut contain. The paper alluded to says: . , If Charles Sumner is nominated for President in 1872 by the Democratic party, on the platform of equeil rights, general amnesty, universal obedience to ike QmstiiuUon and laws, low taxation, arid honest finances, he will lie supported by hialf the old Republican party, anctniU,be triumphantly elected against all i opposition; and the consolidated, liberalised, ana democratized Democracy may hold the National Government for many long years td come.

Gen. Cox and the Ku-Klnx Bill. ??In a speech recently delivered at CSn- ' cinnati, Gen. Cox, who during the war oom* manded the twenty-third army oo?pt,Att4 who for awhile .was Secretary of the Interior qh^cr the present administration, said that an army of one h undred thousand soldiers would not ? ?/. nnt 'tn A\mu ttiA TTn-TTlnr Kill DC BUDIl/itUili w j/uk tu iv>yv w>v ?? ? which has just passed the Hoiue of Representatives. Gen.Cox thinks itis.impossible to restore peace and quiet at the Southby any amount of military force, so lone as measures are agitated in Congress and discussed in the ; ' .!vViV'i ii; tJ'j ?. ... .v'T' v .. -> , i press j which t are calculated tq irritate the , Southern people and make them discontented and restless. Commenting upon this speech the New York Sun says: . . Gen. Cox misapprehends the real nature of the Ku-Klux bill. Its essential design is not to restore peace and quiet at the South, and ' to allay discontent ana disorder. This is only an incidental and comparatively unimportant part of the business. The first purpose of suspending civil law in that part of the country: i and, sending down soldiers is to force the Be-1: publicans of those States to. appoint delegates v to the approaching National Convention of : that party who will be in favor of the renom- : inationof Grant, Next, the elections there i are to be controlled by military means, so i that the electoral votes of these States will be i secured for Grant, whatever may be the wish* < es of the majority of their citizens. To carry i out these designs, Gen. Cox can very well mderstahd that an array of one hundred thoteBandinen will not he-required. Probably** forcd of twenty thousand will suffice. Butff (he it&kt President should hapfitih to be chcrf' to* that wawhowwitt the rest ofTbecountrjr like it? Andwrhat will Gen. Cox say and do then? I**' '***'$' I NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. B. T.
