&\\&twn Intelligenz*. E. B. MURKAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 26,1870. ti1^?^._ . . Congress linn, without ft dissenting vote, appropriated three thousand dollars for the purpose of erecting a monument on thc spot where Washington was born, for thc purpose of keeping it from oblivion in thc future ages. Thus all sections and all parties have united in honoring the memory of tho father of his country, and if they will only with equal unanimity endeavor to follow his example and imi tate his virtues tho day of fraternal feel ing and nationid harmony will soon be upon us. Judge Hillyer has refused the motion for a new trial in tho Cox-Alston coso, and the matter now goes to tho Supreme Court of Georgia. Thc defendant's coun sel presented twenty reasons why they thought the new trial should bo granted, but failed to convince tho Judge that any one of them was a goou reason. If they should bo equally unsuccessful before the Supreme Court, Cox will have to go to tho penitentiary for life. He should count himself most fortunate to have es caped the halter. Sc y'or Voorhccs has been more felici tous in his description of Hlaine than any of Ilia compeers. At an all-night session of the Senate recently, "s usual, thc bad temper of thc mcmbcrr, induced them to indulge in language towards each other which could scarcely be term ed complimentary, and Hlaine made himself officious and offensive in his old role of sectional abuse and general mis behavior, until Senator Voorhccs sat down on tho gentleman from Maine, comparing him to "tho hyena among politicians, and tho scavenger among birds, whose* business it was to root among tho offal of dead issues for thc food on which he lived." After this Mr. Hlaine should bo known us the buzzard from Maine. The Newberry Herald says that du ring tho recent term of Court for that County an attorney referred to thc speech of the attorney upon tho other side as "lengthy, if HUCII nn expression is good English." Upon which Judge Pressley expressed thc opinion that "it ia not good English, for you might as well derive brendththy from breadth us lengthy from length." This hos been accepted as con clusivo of tho question by some, but a refcronco to lexicographers will show that lengthy is not only a correct Eng lish word, but \t used by eminent authors of hi^h repute-as Gibbon, Hymn and Jefferson, for instance. Tho argument that n similar compound cannot bc made out of breadth lins no force, from the fact that English derivatives arc formed by HileB of analogy. Hen. Hill seems to consider himself responsible for tho proper entertainment of Hlaine in the United States Senate, and hence after one ol' tho usual tirades of the man from Maine, tho Georgia statesman very aptly illustrated tho n mount of in formal'nm possessed by Blaine upon the subject bo hud spuken on, by saying that he know nothing more about what ho had been speaking than a jaybird docs about music, and that the principal thing the Senator from Maine did not wish to know was tho truth. The pre.?i Ung officer of tho Senate told Mr. Hill trat ho was getting personal, in re ply to which tho Georgia Senator in formed tho PI -siddi t of that body that ho was only ?tavin,7 facts ind nothing more. Hlaine took it all ,iko an angry lion. He growled as usual, but content ed himself with this harmless pastime. Tho trial of Miss Ducr for the killing of Miss Hcnrn, near Snow Hill, Md., terminated last week in tho conviction of tho prisoner. Tho young Indies had for several years been warm and intimate friends. Miss Dour visited Miss Hearn, nnd upon tal lng Icavo, without an un kind word, drew her pistol and shot her., Tho theory of tho prosecution was that tho killing was willful, and tho motives her devoted attachment to Miss Hcarn caused her to be jealous of Miss Ileum's receiving attention from others. The de fense rested their case on the grounds that thc shooting was accidental and that the death of Miss Hcarn was not caused hy tho wound, but by tho improper uso of Chloral. Tho verdict of tho jury was "not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter." Tho court sentenced Miss Duer to pay a fine of five hundred dollars^ Tho verdict and sentence meets with general approval. Tho Governor has issued his procla mation calling on tho civil officers of thc law to use all legal means nt their com mand to arrest and bring to trial all persons concerned in thc hanging of Mooro in Spartanburg, a full account of which wo publish on our first page. Mob law is at all times and under all circumstances to bo deprecated. Under its administration the innocent often suffer, and even the guilty are punished beyond what justice requires. In the caso before us, however, tho guilt of the party seems to have been clearly estab lished, and tho punishment inflicted not the result of passion or feeling of re venge, bat thc outburst of a just indig nation against two of the most atrocious crimes that could be committed-the one of rape and murder. Whilst thc lr.w does not justify the hanging of Mooro without trial, enlightened public opinion, under the aggravated circum stances of the present case, will excuso it. The Senate committee has postponed the consideration of the protest against Ingalls taking his ?eat for another term as benator from Kansas, and the fact that Senators Hill cud Vance voted with tho Republicans to secure thia result has created the most unfavorable comment. Ingalls is charged with procuring bia re-election, which was obtained by the ?mall majority of .Ooo vote, by the most uhbiuohimj bribery and corruption which, though common Offences in Kansas, are said to havo been carried tn such a length by Ingnlk as to arouse the indignation even of the not over-particular peoplo of that State,, ami they accordingly by a committee requested an investigation of tho charges, which has been treated as above ?tated. Tito United Stater, Sonate has heretofore been frequently polluted 1 by the presence of corrupt member*, but | it is to be hoped Unit such will no longer bc thc case while the Democracy control this body; and although Ingall? baa escaped now, we trust ho will receive a thorough investigation next winier, and that by his cxpulbion the people of Kan sas will bc taught that they must elect honest men to Congress or go unrepre sented. The ?Senatorial committee which l as been investigating the Kellogg-Spoflbrd seat have developed a thorough permea tion of fraud through the entiro politics u? Louisiana in lH7o\ Judge Spoflbrd, who is contesting Kellogg's seat, has ??? tn jl?shed tho rascalities of that indi v 'uni until there is no doubt left of his nv jd and corruption; but in return Kellogg has shown that Judge .Spoflbrd was equally culpable rith himself. They were elected by the rival Legislatures of Louisiana, and euch of them procured his election by shame ful bribery of II. .n be?*v The only settlement which the Se-.ate can make of the matter that will reflect credit upon the honor and self respect of that body is to adopt thc view of ex-Congressman Poland, of Vermont, ! a Republican, who expressed his opinion of louisiana politics in the following opigrnmatic, though, somewhat inelegant style: "I think thc other side ure all d-d rascals, and I know our side arc!'' Holli Kellogg and .Spoflbrd should be re fused n seat in the Senate, and the .State or Louisiana given another opportunity tosend n ?Senator to Congress who will not be a disgrace to the State and a slan der upon our free institutions. The fraudulent President is now play ing the role of Dictator. On last Mon day bc vetoed thu Judicial Expenses Hill, which makes thc third veto bc has sent to Congress in the last few weeks, in each of which his objection is that Con gress does not give bim money to u?c in controlling elections in tho .Stales. The case stated so clearly that all can under stand it is simply this : thc people through their representatives say, wo do not wish the Federal army used at tho polls os a police force, and the President replies, unless you permit me to uso troops at the polls I will have no army ; tho people do not desiro that United States marshals and deputy marshals, clothed with nil the power of the Federal government, and the sworn officers of a corrupt party, should take control of tho polls on the day of election, and the President says to the people, unless you givo mennoney to pay my marshals to control elections you the people shall have no courts. In a word, tho President wants troops and money to be used at tho elections to con tinue his party in power by overawing the people, and by his vetoes practically says that if you do not give them lo mc the country may go tn ruin. Congressman Cannon from Utah, who is a believer in tho Mormon creed, and baa two wives, has been exerting his in fluence to secure the pardon of Reynolds, who was convicted of polygamy in the United States Courts of Utah, under the statute of Congress which prohibits po lygamy in tho Territories. He was very earnest in his last interview with tho President, mid appealed with all his pow er to tho sympathies of thc President for executive clemency for the convicted Mormon; but Mr. Hayes gave him to undersUwd that the law against polyga my is to be enforced and that Reynolds' ease is settled beyond appeal. He also told Mr. Cannon that ho had as well let him go to prison without further objection. A telegram from Washington represents Mr. Cannon as saying that the effect of this will bo to mnko Reynolds a very groat man among the Mormons, and that, when the time comes for the doors of his prison to bo opened, they, ns a people, will try and reward him for what he has endured and ls to endure. Ho takes a very gloomy view of the situation in Utah, and thinks that, under the plea of - prosecution, tho Mormons arc to be turn ed over to tho Gentile ring in the Terri tory to bo robbed and plundered. They propose to uso every peaceful means of resistance, and, if pushed to the utter most, and they Bee that nil their rights in themselves and their property aro to be taken away from them, in their despera tion a serious revolt may como. Mor mons aro men of peuce, but if they see that all tho work of past years is to go for nothing, their lives may ai well ac company tho downfall of their materai j prosperity. Mr. Cannon says himself that rather than submit to the tyrannical persecutions threatened by the Gentiles of Utah, ho would placo armsi in the hands of his people and fly to tho moun tains. Ho thinks that in their fastnesses there thc people might bo able to protect themselves and force concessions that will not bo given to them so loug as they yield to every demand made upon them. Thus in addition to tho Indian wars wo are threatened with a Mormon insurrection. It would, however, bo well for tho Mor mon leaders to consider beforo they leap. A war of the character they threaten would uot bo apt to benefit them in the least, though it might givo the United SUites a little uso for its army. PALMETTO REGIMENT MEDAL.-Tho Alla California says : "Mr. D. M. White has in his possession a medal presented to the Palmetto Regiment of South Caro lina, after their return from tho Mexican war. The design is thdt of tho NP.l motto tree, with two shields at its bas? and an eagle abovo, with the motto *E Pluribut Vnum' in its beak, on a scroll. Beneath tho tree roots is the name of Joshua Alexander, tho recipient of the honor able medal, and encircling the palmetto are the names of Dickinson, Butler and Gladden, South Carolina's Colonels of the Palmetto Regiment. Encircling the rim of tho medal is the Latin inscription, Animis Opibueoue Parati Dum Spiro Spero, 184/.'

This demand has now been heeded, and tho several faculties have given morn attention to tho exercises of Commencement Week. THulisnav Moiir, JI NK 12TH, tho annual address before tho .Millson Society, of tim Female Col logo, was de livered by Kev. Win. 15. Hatcher, 1). I)., if Richmond, Va.

This was thu first celebration oT tho Soci ety, as lt was just organized last year, mid named in honor of Prof. C. H, Judson, tho former President of tho College.

Tho Con cert bus been pronounced by competent Judges to ho a very good one, though we must Hay wo lmvo witnessed bettor tines. Ono of thu prettiest pieces of music In tho world, "Tho Brook,"-composed by Tonnyson and set to music by Dolores was ruined by having a voice unsuitable for rendering it. This song requires a soft, mollow voleo; should boaulllolontly low to allow the music ot the instrument to bo distinctly beard. Whenever tho voleo ls loud and coarse, and drowns tho accompanying music, tho great beauty of Ilia piece is completely lost. Several good Instrumental pieces '.vere rendered, nearly all with splendid execution, show? lng tho thorough and skillful training tho performers had received. (SUNDAY KVENINtl, JUNE 1?TII, tho commencement sermon before tho students of Forman University was preached In tho Baptist Church by Rev. J. A. W. Thomas, of Uonnottsvlllo. His text was 1 Peter 2,22: "Who did no sin, neither was guile found In his mouth." Tho preacher portrayed tho character of Jesus Chrint in all its beauty and gran deur, and exhorted tho young mon to iniltato him as their groat exemplar. It waa a noble appeal to tho young mon, and it is to bo hoped that it accomplished much good.

WASIIINUION, June 19. The Senate remained in ne&sion all night, the Democrats refined to adjourn unless the Republicans would ngree to fix a time for a vote on the'Anny hill to day, and thc night wa? passed iu roll cal ls and attempts lo compel the attendance of absent Senators At au carly hour tili* morning an excited personal contro versy took plat e between Messrs Conk ling ami Lamar. Mr. Conkling charged th:; otherside with bad faith in not allowing a part of the time taken up hy tin Mississippi riv er commission bill to be given lo the de bate on the Army bill. Mr. Lamar rt?-?? ut thc conclusion of Conkling's remarks and aid that HO far us any intimation of bad faith to him was concerned, lie had lived in vain if he was not superior lo such a charge from Hindi a source, "lt is not my purpose," he said, "to Indulge in personalities, but I will say to the Senator that if Ile inten ded to intimate that anything that I have done was not in good faith I pronounce his statement a falsehood, which I repel with all the unmitigated contempt that i feel for thc author ?if it." Mr. Conkling, who had beet: walking slowly back and forth behind the bench es, advancing to his seat said : "Mr. Presi dent-If I understood the member aright he intended to impute, and did in plain and unparliamentary language imp?telo mean intentional misstatement. [Paus ing.] The Senator does not disclaim that." Mr. Lamar-"I will state what I in tended, sir, so there can be no mistake." The presiding officer (Mr. Cockrell) called Mr. Lamar to order, and Mr. Conkling proceeded : "Whether I nm willing to respond to the member from Mississippi depends entirely upon what that member intends to say and what bc tlid say, and for the time ht mg I do not choose to hold ?.ny communication with him. I understood thc Senator to state in plain, unparliamentary language, that the stateuient of mine to which he refers was a falsehood. If I caught his words aright, I have only to say that this not being the place to measure with any man his capacity to violate decency, to violate the rules of the Senate or to commit any of the improprieties of life, I have only to say that if the Senator-the member from Mississippi-did impute or intend to impute lo me a falsehood, nothing ex cept the fact that this is the Senate would prevent my denouncing him as a bltick f;uard and a coward. [Applause and lisses.] Let me bc more specific, Mr. President. Should thc member from Mississippi, except in tho presence of thc Senate, charge mc, by intimation or other wise, I would denounce him as a black guard, as a coward, and as a liar. Thc rules and proprieties of thc Senate are the only restraint upon me. I do not think I need say anything else. Mr. Pres ident. I Applause and hisses.] The Chair demanded quiet in the gal leries. Mr. Lamar-"I have only to say that tho Senator from New York understood nie correctly. I did mean to say just pre cisely the wortls and nil that they im ported. I beg pardon of ihe Senate for unparliamentary language, lt was very harsh. It wus severe, lt was such as no good man would deserve and no brave man would bear." [Renewed demonstra tions of approval and disapproval.) Still Another Veto. WASHINGTON, Juue 23. 'inc following is a summary of the i President's message returning thc judi cial expenses bill to the House without his tiignature : The President begins by reciting a passage of the original legisla tive bill repealing title 2G of the revised statutes and its return to the House with out his approval. The object of the pres ent bill, he says, is not lo repeal tho elec tion laws but to defeat their enforcement. Under existing laws, the failure of Con gress to make appropriations required for the execution ot the provisions of tho election laws would not prevent their enforcement. The right and duty to ap point general and special deputv marshals which they provide for could still remain, and the executive department of the gov ernment would also be empowered to in cur the requisite liability for their com-, Iicnsation ; but the second section of this nil contains a prohibition not found iii any previous legislation. Its design is to render electi-m laws inoperative by omitting to appropriate niutiey for their enforcement and by prohibiting any offi cer of the government from iucurring lia bility under title 2G of the revised statutes authorizing the appointment of deputy marshals for service on election day. The appointment of special deputy mar shals is not, he says, a spontaneous act of authority on the part of the govcrmcut. but is made by section 2021 of tho revised statutes n popular right of citizens in towns having 20,000 inhabitants, or up wards. The present bill neither revokes tliis nor releases the marshal of tho duty imposed by law, nor the President of his duty to see that the law is faithfully exe cuted. Ho declines to discuss the wisdom and necessity of the electiou laws, or what he reganls as the dangerous and uncon stitutional principle of thit bill, that tho power vested in Congress to originate appropriations involves the right to com pel the executive to approve any legisla tion which Congress may see lit to attach to such bills, under ? penalty cf reducing the means needed to carry on the essential functions of the government. His views on these points were, ho savs, presented in a previous message, and ho regards them conclusive as to his duty in respect to tho present bill. This measure leaves thc powers and duties of supervisors of elections untouched, but deprives thc na tional government of tho power to pro tect them in the discharge, of their duties at the polls. The States may employ both civil and military power at elections, but by this bill even civil r.uthority to to protect Congressional elections is de nied tb the United States. There are two lawful ways to overturn legislative enactment:! - one is their repeal, tho other is tho decision of a competent tri hgos] arriiipat. their validity. The clfect of thi-. Jill is to deprivo tho executive of the means to execute laws which are not repealed. They have not been declared invalid, and it is, therefore, tho duty of tho executive and every other department nf tho government to obey anil enforce. He closes by saying lie is willing to con cur in suitable amendments for thc im provement of tho election laws, but can not consent to their repeal or approve legislation which seeks to prevent their enforcement.

Palls liefere III?- A*SC;;U1H ?if the Zulu*. IiON'DOK, .iunc 19. Great excitement prevails in London to-night iu consequence of a telegraphic announcement from South Africa to the effect that Prince Louis Napoleon, the Prince Imperial of France, had been killed in Zululand. The telegram bring ing this information is dated Cape Town, June and Madeira to-day, and reads as follows : " Prince Louis Napoleon, Prince Imp< rial of Trance, accompanied by oth er officers, left Colone) Wood's vamp to reconnoitre. The party dismounted in a mealie field, where the enemy crept upon LhiM? and as?egaied the Prince, killing bin?. His body was recovered." The official account of Prince Napo leon's death says: 'The Prince, with Lieut. Cary, of the 98th Regiment, six men and one friendly Zulu, left the ramp at Keletjsis mountain, seven miles bi - youd Blood river, on the 1st institut, for a reconnoissance. The party halted and unsaddled when 'en miles from camp. Just as thc Prince gave thc order to re mount a volley was fired from ambush in tho long grass. Lieut. Cary and four of the troopers ri turned to camp and repor ted the Prince and two of thc trooners missing Prom .heir statements there could be dotiL* 'hat the Prince was killed. A party of the 17th Lancers, with an am bulance, ."tarted on the 2d instant, to re cover the body of thc Prince, which was found and brought in on the .;'?ine day." A special to the Daily News adds the following particulars: .'The body of the Prince w hen found lay on its back. There were eighteen a-segai stabs in it, two of them piercing the body from the chest to the back, two in the side, and one de troying the right eye. A locket, with air medallions und a reliquary, were found around his neck. The face wore placid expression. He had evidently ineffectually tried to mount, and the leather of the Hap tearing, he ran along the path to where he was found. Two troopers lay near the body, both having been asscgaied. The Prince was very adventurous." News of the death of the Prince Im perial reached Loudon nt a late hour last night. About one o'clock this morning it was circulated in the lobbies of the | House of Commons, when in reply to in quires, Col. Stanley, Secretary of State tor War, read the official telegram. Lord Sydney, an old tried friend of the Impe rial family, has left for Chiselhurst to break the news to thc Empress Eugenie. London journals while deeply deploring thc Prince's death, regard it as the end of Imperialism in France. Prince Napol eon, who has become the head of the liue, is a democrat in politics and dis asteful to thc entire lionapartist party. Ho has two sons aged seventeen and fif teen years, respectively. Party loyalty may fasten around the name of one of these sons, bur for the present the Im perial counsels must be distracted and the possibility of a return to the Empire appears more shadowy than ever. Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte was born in the Tuiilcries, on the lGth of March, 18?G, and was there fore twenty three vcara old Cit LIIU WilM. Of his death, ile was educated with freat care, and on the outbreak of the 'raneo German war accompanied his father to Metz, and thence to Saarbruck, where, according to Napoleon's dispatch to Eugenie, he received his baptism of fire. Ilia youth and effeminate appear ance were much ridiculed by tho Ger mans, who, in derision, gave him the ie of Lulu. When the military situ ation became critical, the Prince was sent to Belgium for safety, and subse quently ho joined his mother in England. There ho entered the training school at Woolwich and made quite an impression by his remarkable intellectual gifts aud his winning manners. He was extreme ly popular with the English, and when he embarked for South Africa had quite a promising future before him. His death will cause grief in England as well ?us in France. - The minus of the United States turn ed out two million three hundred thou sand silver dollars during the month of day.
