Although for more than a week letter writers from Washington have filled tho daily papers with assurances limn ar rangements would bc made by the Dem ocrats und Republican Senators by which the Senate would proceed to tho business for which it was convened, tho deadlock still continues. It is now evi dent that Mahmie cannot obtain the consideration for which ho cast his vote with thc Republicans in thc Organiza tion of the Senate, and it is moro than probable that an arrangement can be made by which all nominations not objec ted to will be considered, and thc Senate in a short time adjourned. Poor Ma hone ! DKATH OK HON. M. I?. O'CONNOIl. Thc Hon. M. P. O'Connor, Represen tativo in Congress from the .Second Con gressional District, died in Charleston on Monday hist. Mr. O'Connor was born in Beaufort, S. C., in 1831, was gradu ated at St. John's College, N. Y., in 1840, and settled io Charleston in 1850 when ho commenced the study of the luw. In 18f>8 ho was elected a member of tho Legislature, and from that limo until his death, with tho exception of a few years, just after the war, accepted high and important political offices. Tho Slate and especially his Congressional District, will miss his prudent counsel and that universal popularity which Recured him :i scat in Congress. The death of stich a man as Mr. O'Connor is niall times a public loss, but at such times as the present il isa public calami ly. ^ THE KXTKN8ION OF TH Ii VIIMJINIA MIDLAND ItAILUUAD. Thc railroad syndicates formed in tho Southern States for the last few years have for their object tho procurement of the Southern trade for the City of New York, and the combinations formed tend to .that result, at the lo? of trade by nil tho commercial cities south of thal point, and from which Baltimore especially suffers. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail road, acting in union with the City of Baltimore mid thc Virginia Midland Railroad, propose to Afford tr.- tho South equal facilities for trade with Baltimore to thoso of New York, by an extension of the Virginia Midland Railroad from Danville, by the way of Statesrille or Moorcsvlllo through North Carolina into South Carolina. Tho objective Southern point seems undetermined. It is conceded that Spartanburg will be one of the points reached, but whether it will from there tuite the direction of Augusta or Atlanta ia uncertain, and remains a matter for future consideration. Ander son, Greenville and Spartanburg aro greatly excited nu tho subject, and each of them have appointed delegations to a meeting of the Directors in North Caro lina, and to proceed to Baltimore to present to tho President of tho Ballimore and Ohio Railroad and the committco of the citizens of Baltimore tho advantages _of a route through their respective ?owns. Tho Town Council and Board of Trade of Anderson appointed Gen. \V. W. Humphreys, Capt. P. K. McCully Maj, B. F. Whittier, Hon. B. F. Crayton and Maj. E. B. Murray their delegates, who left on last Monday for North Caro lina and Baltimore. Other delegations had visited Baltimore, and we have not yet received any intelligence from tho visit of our delegation. Rut such are the palpable advantages to be derived from making Atlanta the Southern ter minus, there eau be little doubt that it will bo adopted ; and if yo, there is not only a prospect but almost a certainty that it will come by Anderson. The lo cution of the Air Line Road is such that it leaven a large aoction of countiy with out the necessary Northern "nd Southern outlets, aud another company will hardly he blind to thc benefits to be derived from securing thia trade. A road prop erly localed from Statcsvillo or Moore ville to Atlanta will bc from 75 to 100 miles Bhortcr than any other road, and possessed of so many advantages over all roads, that it would secure the great Northern and Southern trade, as well as tho trade along tho Hue, with that de rived from tho many feeders extending from thc mountains to the sea-shore, and at the samo time precludes the bulldiug of another road parallel through tho States of North and South Carolina and Georgia. Our people aro deeply inter ested in this matter, and when tho time cornea will do their whole duty. - According to recent St. Petersburg correspondence the police of that city have received a present of 500 roubles and a Srinted testimonial of thanks from the fihilist committee as un ironical cum pi i m ci it for lucir inciiiciency. There is very likely no truth in this report, for letters from tho Russian Capital are of necessity largely mado np of rumors, but lhere is substantial agreement nmong the correipondents of English newspapers that the young Czar is fully conscious of Ute concealed dangers which menace him. Tho Echo says that Amitschkov Hes moro favorably than tho Winter Palace. All the houses and gardens round have been bought up ; all cellars cleared out, to see that nothing Hes concealed in them; '.'ic pavements have been torn up, aud all the water-pipes and conduits strictly examined. - Tho most stringent examination is made ol each of the few persons who are to inhabit the great lonely building as the Czar's servants. The Benin (April 21) correspondent of tho London Standard says : ''The Czar still resides at the diminutive chateau of Gatschina, guarded by six consecutive cordons of soldiery. His Majesty is never seen outside the inner circle. Meanwhile the Amitscbov Palace, his Majesty'?? town mansion, has been intrusted to the guardianship of 800 men of the Paulowski Guards. According to the Intransigeant, of. Puris, (April 21) a Nihilist manifesto announcing tho ap proaching death' of Alexander III baa just been' received by all the Russian Minister? and court officials. - A lady of Brooklyn, N. Y., has srnt a note and wreath of flowers lo tho M?;y or of Cokc*b II ry. S. C., with tho request that tho flowers bo placed upon the grave of Gen. M. W. Gary, aa a slight tribute of respect from a Northern lady to thc memory of a bravo man. Should a State Prohibit thc Mair* at Intoxicating Liquors .' Mit. EDITOH: In the Inst issue ul'your valuable paper appeared an article claim ing that a State, or civil government, "ought not to pass i luw prohibiting the sale of ardent spirits." Whether it? author merely intended to provoke a dis cussion of the subject by taking the po sition that he did, and thus bring it prominently before tho public nt this particular time, with a view to pr ?<.!. lng thought, and accomplish^ od, which I prefer to believe, or whethci tho views therein expresncd were his real convictions, I am not prepared to say. But be that ns it may, since he lins furn ished thc grounds upon which his opin ions are based, I desire to test them and ?co il they will not crumble beneath the weight ol the arguments that exist in favor of prohibitory laws. When some unexpected calamity or evil is about to befall a people, then it muy bc true that in tho effort to subvert it good judgment will not bc exercised, by reason of too much zeal, or acting on the impulse of the moment. At this late day, i" looking for a remedy for the evils that exist in our State, by reason ci the liquor tratiic, wc need not apprehend nny danger in that direction. There is zeal, <ji 'nt teal, being shown il this lime on thc subject, and my earn est desire is that it will never abate till it han swept triumphantly over thc re motest bounds of our Commonwealth. This zeal is not blind. Neither was it horn of a moment. It has shining in its face, in full midday splendor, the light of years of experience a? a guide. It is no new question. We nrc not called upon to rout un enemy that has just invaded the camp. For centuries his missiles ol death have been ?lying thick and fast over the field, spreading consternation, terror and carnage in its path. To anni hilate him thu tongue and pen of thc most gifted of our philanthropist? in thc past have been vigorously employed ; thc religious, and a large part of the seculai press of our State have exerted theil mighty power to mould and shape public opinion against it ; thc church, the clergy Cbrittiau men and women of all deuom imitions, by entreaty, by exhortation ant personal effort have thrown, in a grca degree, into one channel their influence so that by its power the last vestige o this cvi! might be swept from existence Upon mir stat utc books are stringent laws enucted by our Legislature, with thc hopi to suppress it to Homo extent. But whu has been thc result? Has the number o bar-rooms in our State decreased? I there less drunkenness, pauperism nm crime in thu State now than formerly No I Tho contrary is undoubtedly true Then, what is to bo done? This adver sary is not passive, waiting to bc at lacked : he is active, subtle, insidious am unceasingly attacking every scheme c improvement and pinn of reformation General benevolence, social self-interest enlightened patriotism and Christin civilization nil protest against the con tinuaiiccof n system which is nt war wit every true interest of the State. Coul wc personify this civilization uppenlin to her friends-tho friends of inventiot of intellect, of justice, and religion-w should depict her standing in tito mid: of all tho wreck and ruin whicli atron drink has wrought from the beginning < time, and as she points to the veil whic hides tho future from all eyes but om we should behold her pleading that sue wreck mid ruin should not embarra and impede, her in lier progress throng the years to come. Lot us learn wisden from tho futile ellbrts of the past, an making stepping stones of our failure ict us riso to a higher plane of activity and us a last resort demand of ou. I.? ; isiaturo tho passage of a law prohibitin the sale of liquors as a beverage in Sont Carolinn. I timi ii tn in that such a law docs ni transcend thc (ruc object and aim of i/o rm ment, nor tines it violate the right oj' ?>ro? rr///. The paramount object of governme; is to promoto tho public good of tl people of a State. \I! moans to be usc aro legitimate, except those express! forbidden by the Federal Constitutioi Restraining or prohibitory laws are m enacted to infringe upon the usc of cc tain rights entirely, but it is thc abuse < them, and thc consequent evil that fa lows the abuse, that calls for the hite ferenco of government. If nny trude, employment, or usc . property, that is within itself right nt useful, becoTcr indirectly detrimental tho life, health, prosperity or order of people, it is by tho Common Law d dared a nuisance. Tho governmet then, in order to promoto tho public wt faro, must assume tho right of'sacrificii private interests to suppress it. Aro private rights, then, subo.uinn to thc interests of the public? If > then the argument of my friend is a iwcreri. I might say that the best o\ lenco of what is within tho object ai dim of civil government is what h been done by it, especially when tho a' is in the case under consideration, li been so declared by tho highest Coi lenown to our law. Privato rights m.ty be, ant' nave bec from timo immemorial, sacrificed in tl 3tato for public good. If it bc asked oi> ?vhat grounds a gc jrnmcut is justified by prohibiting a m jmploying his capital in tho sale iquor, it would suffice to simply answ .hat government may put down whitten s dangerous to society. "Kains pop mprema lev." But to meet thc argument full? I ustiQcd upon principles fundamental ill social and governmental organ.zatio [n entering into society every indi vidi mrrenders certain of his natural righU luch as thc vindication of his wron '.ho protection of lifo and property consideration that nociety will insure lim tho peaceable enjoyment of his i lurrendercd rights, and indemnity for wrongs done to him. Ono right surr lcredis tho privilege of doing nnytbii hough personally beneficial,or pursu iny occupation tho natural or proba -?ault of which are, or are likely to njurious to other members of socie ind the right to soil liquor must be ch ;d with this, for our fricud says in atter portion of bis article that iquor-sellcr is the causo of "inn?mera niserics," and that it is "a calling wh s- yearly filling boll with thousand: nairns." It is justified further by vii >f the general police power of the SI )r government. Jeremy Bentham gi this definition of that power : "Po is, in general, a system of preoaut: sillier for the prevention of crimes o calamities." "This police power of State," says an eminent Judge, "exte lo tho protection of the (ives, lin health, comfort and quiet of all pets and by it persons nnd property aro Bub t'.d to all kinds of restraints and burd in order to secure tho general corni health and prosperity of thu Sta Judge Story, in speaking of Prohibi Laws, says : "They are looked upoi felice regulations, established by .legislature for the prevention pf lol perance, pauperism and crime, and the abatement of nuisances. As ex tiles, tearing down dams to protect ] ic health, tearing down houses to vent spread of fire, or the ravages pestilence," &c. Here the individu in no degree in fault, but his inU must yield to that "necessity" w "knows no law." Upon similar groi tho Supreme Court of the United Si has decided the Prohibitory Laws to tutional. Heney the conclusion is sistible that if tho public good, n and safety of tho people demand suppression of the Liquor Traffic, its prohibition cornea clearly nithh scope of tho authority of civil gov ment, and that the rights which ownership of property, usually ot upon a person cannot bi interpose bim and defeat tho interests of tue ? which ?rc paramount tc ?.i Mr. Brown i? mistaken when he -?ayn that "when it comes to civil government one may violate any of them, (i. ?.., tho commandments,) so long as ho does not do it to the prejudiceof his fellow-men ??j long as he docs no direct and immedi ate injury, except to himself, and no State can interfere" ; and "that it (thc State* has no authority to punish acts which are simply immoral, and which do no direct injury to any one without his own knowl edge nod consent," and when ho inti mates that morals are beyond tho reach of legislation. To protect public morals is one of tho primo objects of govern ment. Bigamy and Polygamy are cer tainly very immoral acts, and effect no one directly, save thc parties who com mit them, yet they arc prohibited by law for the reason that thc general practico of either would greatly imperil society by contaminating it? morals. It is not tho fact that thc act is simply immoral per ?e, but it is the evil that is likely to How from the frequent commission of such acts that tho law moans to reach. The right lo enact Prohibitory Low? may bo based on another ground. Mr. Brown says himself that a government has the right t-? regulate tho sale of in toxicating liquors, so as to prevent any abuse on the part of those who sell it. If, then, it has the right to repress by imposing limitations and restrictions, then I claim il has the right lo go a step farther and suppress it, if the public good requires it. This must follow us a matter of necessity. If I have thc right to strike five blows to accomplish tin ob ject, I certainly have tho right, if I can accomplish the same end and necessity demands it, to uso only one blow. Prohibitory lawn infringe upon no right'i of Ihr rum xellrr. If thc right to use property as ono thinks best was inherent and unqualified, then thc rum-seller might successfully protest against paying license. There can bo no such thing ns licensing a man to do a thing that he has an unqualified right to do. Rum-sellers have no right thus lo employ their capi tal. It is a privilege or franchise granted by thc StPte from time to time, and il tho State refuses this privilege, no righi is violated. It seems to mr thal the righti of property arr violated lui not pasting Pro hibitory Lawn. Thc Stato grants th< privilege of selling liquor. Crime and poverty follow ns a consequence. Tc punish critno and to provide a place foi criminals and paupers requires money IJoforc thc war about two-thirds of ordi nary County taxes went for pauperisre anil crime, und six-sevenths of thiscrimi ami poverty was produced by liquor This money is raised, not by taxing tin rum-seller alone, or thc inebriate, but bj taking the hard-earned dollar from tin sober and industrious ?nan, without giv ing him anything in return. For a por lion of his money (taxes) thc govcrnmen gives him protection to life, liberty ant property, but for that exacted to mee expenses incurred by tho liquor traffic hi gets nothing in return. lt i? taking thi money of a class in thu community win have in no way contributed to tho ucees sity of tho tax, which properly shnuh bc paid alone by the rum-sollcr. Is no government, thai, interfering directti/ wit! the\rights of property by liccnting liquor. Mr. Brown finds a remedy-"by mora and roligious influences"-and says "i all those pious Christians and reverent ministers of thc Gospel" who are cryiuj for Prohibition so loudly would tun their nttention nearer home, they wouh do more good than all tho prohibition on the statute books of a State. Pu the responsibility where it properly be longs-first upon our legislators am statesmen. If they lind shown half a much /.eal in tho causo in the pa*t as ou ministers have shown, tho inte? "?ts o our Statt? to day would not bo paralyze? by this evil. The Church cannot read tho class tbat need such influences. I it could, what would it accomplish Whore tho appeals of a loving mother o wife, and devoted children fail, ia ther much hopo in appeals from others ? No It will bo done only when tho law in it majesty rises, nnd with its iron arr crushes tho fcintain-hend of the ovi The forces aro too evenly balanced fe anything save tho interference of th government to stop it. In every tow and city in our State you will find a many-and in some instances more-bai rooms than churches nnd schools. Th friend.-, of Prohibition will bo satisfied the clergy of our Stato will give it i much of their influence, time und taler ns they have exerted in endeavoring t stop intemperance by moral influence Those influences have been exerted ft nges, and experience, the best of teacl era, point to tho use of more effecth means. Tho people aro sovereign. They has supremo right to stop crime. Prohibitio is an old right. China forbido the tu of wino eleven hundred years befoi Christ, and it is a stranger there yet as beverage. Carthago banished it. fro tho camp. Plato approved this la-, Mohammed prohibited it twelve h und rc and fitly years ago. Then, in the blazir. light of the nineteenth century, is it m a reflection upon the chivalry, the prowc and christian civilization of South Car linn for such a nefarious traffic to 1 upheld by the sanctity of law? Tho great question before us rises ii finitely above tho measurement of dc lars and cents in our tax bills. Sn far : tho Statu is concerned, even if the were no taxes connected with this vici if it was a sourco of princely revcnui if every drunkard's corpse could bo tran m '?cd into solid gold, and every drat shop was a public mint; if thc who cost of liquor in tho United States (s hundred millions of dollars a year) cou bo poured directly into the Nation Treasury to pay the public debt, ovi then the State could not afford to encot ago habita of intoxication. No nmou of gold and Bilvcr can bo weighed agni i tho lo?s of public virtuo. Tho questii of morals, of happiness, of present ai eternal welfare cannot bo ciphered o in tables of currency or coin. No Sta cnn possibly becomo so rich but that, intemperance generally prevails arno its citizens and rulers, every true patri may well repeat, with anxious heart, t dying words of tho great William Orange : "God have mercy on my pc country." H. G. SCL'CDAY A Scandal that Rivals thc Fame Whisky Ring. WASHINGTON, April 21 The sensation of tho day is tho su mary removal of the second assist) postmaster-general by order of tho Prc dent. Various rumors are afloat affe ing Brady's inluf.ity. It is e> asserted that such oiscoverics have b< made with reference to tho Star ro contracts that thoy will lead to his pron indictment. Thia question of Star rou received an overhauling at the bauds Congress when a deficiency bill for i 000,000 was put in. It appears that Postmaster-Gene James took up the investigation wh the House committeo ?topped, and 1 succeeded in obtaining evidence that i establish beyond question the fraudul and connipt character of the Star ro management during the past four yet and which will at the sarao lime conf the suspicion thal certain promin officers had not only guilty knowledgi the methods practiced, but were bon clarie? of the corruption fund freely u to further them. It has been aaid that of the $5.000. regularly appropriated for 9,225 t routes for tnt) last fiscal year net $3,000,000 was awarded for service ot routes.conlrolled by favored contract leaving less than $3,000,000 for tho roaining 9,132 routes. It is belle that at least $2,000,000 was distribi among the Star routo group during lost fiscal year, the Government, coane, receiving no service whab from the amount abstracted.

The Baltimore Antcrictut, in its account of the Baltimore and Ohio scheine for attracting to Baltimore tho business of *h* Carolinas and Georgia, nays : The projectors of tho scheme do not propose to content themselves with a mero through lino lo Charlotte or Spartanburg, but intend, if possible, to create a system of roads which will drain the Carolinas, Georgia and parts of Tennessee, and placo thc Baltimore on u new fooling as a market for Southern products. THU WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. In order to explain the position of af fairs in regard to lilia road, it may he well to stato that when Governor I. J. Jarvis, of North Carolina waa inaugura ted last year Iiis party (the Democratic) ' made thc question of organizing a North Carolina system, of which tho Western North Carolina Railroad waa to form a pari, the basis of a great reform-so called. After several changes lind been made in other State roads, thc Western North Carolina Road was sold to W. J. 1 Best, W. H. Grace (now mayor of New York,) J. Nelson Tappan and James D. Fish, of New York. For some reason still unexplained Messrs. Grace, 1 Tappan and Fish, after visiting North Carolina and expressing their willing ness to ratify the sale negotiated by Mr. Best, refused to organize under thc ' charter granted to him, and he was ob liged to raiso tho money called for by his contract with thc State from another source In this emergency ho borrowed ? $50.000 for ninety days from A. S. Bu ford, W. P. Clyde and T. M. Logan, who represent tho Richmond and Danville ! Company. When the ninety days ex pired Mr. Best was unable to meet his engagements and compelled to assign all 1 his right, title and interest in the West ern North Carolina Road, except 7,500 shares of thc stock, to Buford, Clydo and llegan, to pay bis indebtedness to them, and also tosecuro tho completion of tho 1 road to Paint Rock, on tue Tennessee ; line, and Ducktown, near tho Georgia line, in accordance with tho terms of the contract with the State. CAN IT UK SECURED? It now appears that Buford, Clyde and Logan had advanced up to January 1 last, $160,000 in aid of tho road, and, , consequently, at present it is practically under the control of thc Danville system. Mr. Best mid the officials under him were ousted, and Col. A. B. Andrews, of \ Raleigh, elected in his place. Under tho ; terms of thc contract mado by Mr. Best , with the Slate tho road was to bo extend ed from Ashevillo to Paint Rock, on tho western boundary of North Carolina, and to Darktown on tho sc: .hwesternbound ary, which would give valuable western connections. Mr. Best claims that tho Richmond and Danville pcoplo will not extend tho road tts called for by thc con tract, aud that as he only turned it over , to them in order to secure thc extensions, j if they fail to make them tho road must \ revert to him. j THE TWO ROUTES. ? it was also learned yesterday that at 1 the meeting on Saturday there were two I routes proposed for tho Virginia Midland, 1 which were discussed, at some length, but neither absolutely selected. Thc . extension to Walnut Cove -tho first fifty 1 miles-is ineludod in both plans, and, of , course, will not be affected by the inde cision as to tho route further south. ' After leaving Mooresville, the road runs ( to Iron Station, Lincoln County, N. C., where tho different routes branch off. They are known as thc Western and | ICastern routes. The Western route, which is tho cheap est, would, from Iron Station, run over j tho Carolina Central Road, a distance of j 22 mile?, to Shelby, Cleveland County, -j Here tho work of building would bo rc- } Bumed, for 85 miles, to bring the road to j Spartanburg. At this point tho exten- , sion would tap tho proposed extension of < thc Knoxville nnd Augusta Railroad, and '. passing over tho latter road through j Greenwood, Laurens County, S. C., thus ( got into Augusta. The second or easterly . route diverges directly south from Iron . Station, and avoiding Spartanburg alto- ] gether, boldly strikes through the couti- ( try feeding the latter city, thus securing , tbs traffic at first bauds. It would pass , through Gustonia, Gaston County, where . the Narrow Gauge Railroad to Cheater , and Columbia would prove a valuable and . available connection. Leaving Gostonia ] the extension would curve around to tho , southwest thro"gh York, Union and Laurens Counties, passing through Green wood, whero it would tap the Knoxville and Augusta Road, thus affording tho samo connections as the Western route. It was intimated yesterday by several gentlemen who are familiar with tho in tentions of tho Virginia Midland Compa ny that this latter route would be chosen as ono entirely independent of other roads, and, at the same time, more of an air-lino. DOWN TO ATLANTA ASL CHARLOTTE. As stated an effort is being made to buy tho Knoxville and Augusta road, tho importancoof which to Baltimore interests can hardly bo over estimated, and thus {irevent its being gobbled up by the lichmond and Danville system. This road, forty miles of which aro built, has the right of way from Augusta north to Spartanburg via Greenwood. Nearly tho entire road-150 miles in all-has been surveyed and graded, and the work of building is now being actively carried on. It passes through Edgofield, Abbeville and Laurens Counties, wbich aro the best cotton-pro ducing regions in South Carolina. If tho eastern route of tho Midland extensk is ndopted it will only be necessary to ex tend the Knoxville and Augusta to Green wood for connection. The Western route will necessitate its being built to Spartanburg in order to connect. At Greenwood the route of tho Midland Extension west to Atlanta hos been pro ?coted, and partially surveyed through .aurons and Anderson Counties, South Carolina; Elbert, Madison, Clarke, Walton, Gwinnett and DeKalb Counties, Georgia, and thus into Atlanta. In order to carrv nut the system a? thus outlined it would be necessary to build about 800 miles of road in all by the eastern route or, perhaps, 60 miles less than by the western route. When accomplished Baltimore will have direct and indepen dent communication with Atlanta and Augusta and the mos. populous counties in Georgia, all the principal Western cities ana towns of South Carolina and the western part of North Carolina. The connection with Charlotte-although over another road from Mooresville (tho Atlanta, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad) is rendered secure and virtually indepen dent by tbe fact that, fifteen miles further south, the Midland extension will cross the Carolina Central Road, which also runs into the Charlotte. Having, there fore, two competing roads to choose from, the Midland could, of course, create ? competition l??lwt?*a the Charle' branches for its traffic, and give it u. \ .v cheapest carrier. Tho prospect for the rania extension of the road by ono or the other routed-probably the eastern-is cer tainly excellent. - Tho treasurer of Georgia gives the following statement of the condition of the State finances up to March 31, 1881, the date of his last report : Cash bakuco in the treasury November ll, 1S80, $665 591.07 ; balance in the treasury March 81, 1881, $940,030.02.

( Another bitter attack wa? made upon < the Bouth to-day, this time by Senator i Frye. He delivered a long and bloody- | shirt tirade against the Southern people, j couched in that loose :nformal style pe- | ?Miliar lo the debates in the House of j Representatives, where statement goes ? tor fuel and charges arc hurled about i reckless of proof. i While Senator Huller roso to answer | Senator Frye and vindicate thc Slate of < South Caiolina another of those extraor- | dinary scenes occurred which have re cently distinguished thc Senate Chamber. | He had just begun his speech and had j declared that the purpose of this general i attack upon the South was to hi ie thc | rea! issue. This issue was, said Senior j lintier, whether a corrupt bargain ln<d i been made in this Senate. Right hero Senator Burnside jumped up i and excitedly declared that Butler had j (dated a falsehood. Thc Senator from | Rhode Island was very emphatic. He ] repeated several times that this charge of i a bargain was false, and any senator I un tho other side who made it uttered a ? wilful falsehood. Senator Burnside wrathfully clinched this at every point < with u blow u;;on his desk, which made ] Lhiiigs rattle generally and caused the < nervous listeners to start. 1 The outbreak was so unsuspected and ' violent that the astonished senator from i South Carolina paused a moment aud ( turned toward th. President. There was > no stopping Mr. Burnside. Ho had no < 'ooner taken his seat before he jumped up j again and fell to pounding his desk and \ reiterating that it was u falsehood, and the ..cnator from South Carolina was slating j n falsehood. ? Every time Senator Butler attempted j to proceed up went Senator Burnside ? again, sawing the air like a fish woman. . Groat confusion reigned iu the galleries, and applause and hisses told how much i ?atcrested the spect don were. j When the old man quieted down a ? little Senator Butler began a severe retort i in kind, but wisely checked himself in | the midst of it, saying, "But no, I will not here on the Uoor of thc Senate." This brought Senator Burnside up , ?gain, and this timo he told Senator But ler to go ahead and say what he pleased. In fact the Senator from Rhode Island appeared to bo spoiling for a row, and ho carefully spread his coattail before tho | Senator from South Carolina and insisted on bis treading on it. This Senator Butler declined to do, and remarked that the Senator from Rhode Island was his friend and was excited. Up went Senator Burnside once more, to provo how calm ho was; but, while ho was illustrating it, ho lost his balance and pounded his desk as fiercely as before. This exhibition of calmness set both gallery and senate in a roar of laughter at Senator Burnside's expense. It was some limo before tho confusion subsided, when senator Butler proceeded with his speech, avoiding the matter of thc quarrel for V:n limo being and repealing his charge of a bargain only at the close. He declared then that ho would provo it by irrefrngi ble evidence or resign his seat iu tho 3onato. This proof, he stated, he would present at an carly day. An Ample Apology Graciously ltecelveil. WASHINGTON, April 22. Senator Burnside look occasion to-day io make the amende honorable to Senator Hutler for words spoken in debate on Wednesday. The conduct of tho Sena tor from South Carolina on that day has been highly commended, yat while judi ciously refraining from the unparliamen tary language which the case seemed to ustify, Senator Butler, it is understood, lost no time, outside of thc Senate, in requesting a retraction of the offensive anguage, if it was meant to be so, or elso i public statement on the floor of thc Senate that it was not so intended. The rtsult of the reported conference was tho following from Senator Burnside in the Senate to day : "It was very far from my mind, aa far as anything could be, to im pute personal untruthfulness to anybody m that side of the Chamber, much less the senator from South Carolina with svhom my relations have been always of the most friendly nature, peculiarly so, ind I would be the last mau on this floor to impute to him any personal dishonor >r any personal untruthfulness. Any body, no matter who be is, anywhere in thin country, who draws any other iufer .r.ce from what I then said, draws a ;7rong inference, and I don't think he is borne out by the lnnguage. My lan guage was emphatic, and I intended it ;o be BO ; I meant it to be so. I was replying to a general charge made on .hat sido of the chamber, and unfortu nately for the senator from South Caro lina and myself, who were sajh good "riends and who had never been in col isi?n in debate before, we happened to ie tho two people to meet. It would lave been ns unfortunate in the case of iny other." To this Senator Butler replied : "Mr. President, I am quite sure, without the Reclaimer on the part of thc senator Vom Rhode Island, that ho did not in end to impute any dishonorable conduct o mo. I understood him tn say that he va? denouncing thc chargo generally, ind making no personal application of lis remarks to mo. My relations with hat senator have always been friendly ind kind. I know his kindness of heart s so pronounced that he is i .capable of unking n reflection of that kind on a >rother Senator. I am happy to hear Y h at ho has said publicly, and I accept t of courso in the spirit ho hos made lt, ind I nm sure as far as I am concerned ntr former relations have not been disturb :d in the alightest." - Tho estimates for work on the pro cctcd railroad Lom Spartanburg to Greenwood have bcou made out, and tho -oad completed, including tho laying of die track, will cost about $7,200 per milo. The distance from Spartanburg to Wood ?uff is 19 miles, from Woodruff to Lau rens 20 miles, and from Laurens to Greenwood 27} miics ; total distance Go} niles. The engineers have secured a rery cheap route. There is only ono nit, which is over 25 feet deep, and that nay bo reduced to 17 feet. It is proba ble that there.will be very little rock york, the deepest cut being about cix feet deep. If all the heavy work could be massed it would not amount to moro iban nino miles. - At the annual meeting of the Oraad Lodge, Knights of Honor, at York ville last week, tho following officers were sleeted: M.

THE SENATE DEADLOCK. Wrong nut! Careful SlutriuciiC of the Democratic I'oiiltloii. Washington Cwrerj^ndaice N. V. Herald. A very prominent Democrat who lias riven close attention to the Scnatociul icadlock lays down the following thir teen propositions as in his judgment, governing thc case. He has studied thc grounds of the dispute carefully and in telligeotly, and the thirteen points which lie presents deserve attention not only Tor the strength with which they are pro ^ented, but also because they represent na forcible way the grounds "upon which :ho Democratic Senators justify their course. The following aro thc thirteen propositions : tiret. A party cannot bo considered to nive u majority in a legislative body ivhen it is unable to take a single step or idopt a single motion unless someone of he alleged minority will aid it by vot ing md thus making the desired and icccssary quorum. Second. 1'ho Republicans in tho Sen tie, with Mahone added, have just one ?alf the Senate. Unless some member of ho Democratic half lends bis aid the Republican Senators, plus .Mahone, can rot command a quorum, and can du no jusiness of any name or nturc except idjourn. Third. Tlie vote ol tho Vice-Presideut cannot be made available until the Democrats shall be obliging enough to create the tie, which he will then be able to unloose. Of original power tho Vice President has not one particle, md tlie Republicans are enrag ed because thc Democrats will not so rote os to give tho Vice-President thc opportunity to turn out Democratic oflico liolders who arc faithfully discharging heir duty. Fourth. Thc vice-President bas never in the history of the government, save in isingle instance, voted in thc election of Senate officers, and that was in a case ivhere a vacancy was to be filled. If a vacancy were to be lilied to-day every Democratic Senator would bo perfectly willing to have the vice-President vote if a tie should occur, but the Democrats affirm and will to the end maintain that the Vice-President's voto shall not be used to create a vacancy wbero no accu sation is made against the incumbent and where thc change is to be made for polit cal purpose only. Fifth. The "rule of the majority," about which thc Republican senators talk so loudly, is tho "rule" which they will enforce if one or more Democratic Senators will help them to do it. Sixth. The Republicans are irritated because the Democrats will not lend their aid to the consummation of the Ma hono bargain by tlie election of Gorham and Rlddlebarger. Seventh. At the opening of this session md for seventeen days after thc Demo crats had a clear and absolute majority in the Senate, but the Republicans inter posed dilatory motions every time the appointment of committees was proposed, aud they held the Senate in u totally unorganized if not disorganized condition until tho vacant seats were filled and thc trade with Mahone was completed. Eighth. When tho Republicans got ready to appoint committees the Demo cratic Senator' interposed no objections, because committees were essential to the proper organization of the body, and they submitted quietly to having all the chairmanships taken from them and transferred to the Republicans, although hey never ought to have dono this, and they set an evil precedent ki allowing it, ivbich must be corrected at the very first opportunity. Ninth. Rut when it is proposed to take toother and needless aggressive step, one entirely needless, except to give Mahone lis pny and turu out two excellent and ac ceptable officers simply because they aro Democrats, the Democratic Senators say : 'No, you shall not do it, and wo will itop you by precisely the same mei'us which you employed for seventeen days :o stop us from organizing the commit :ces." Tenth. Whenever the Republicans ihall have a majority, even of on?, in the .senate, no Democrat will interpose a ungle dilatory motion against the elec .iou of new officers ; but so long as tho Republican Senators united with Ma lone have only one-half of the Senate, ind the Democrats have the other half, die Democrats will not aid, directly or ndirectly, in turning out Democratic officers. Eleventh. Thc Republican Senntors nay make up their minds that neither at his session nor at tho next session will hey bc able to turn Messrs. Burch and bright out of office, unless by some nenns they first secure a majority of tho Senate. Twelfth. One word more. When com nittees aro to be appointed next Delm oor, if the Sena-e continues evenly divid id as now, fair warning is giveu to the Republican senntors that the Democratic locators will insist on a fair and equita olo division of the committees and chair manships. There aro thirty-eight lenators on e.eh side of the Chamber, ind common fairness demands an equal iroportion of the committees. Thirteen. For the Republican senators .o demand all the committees and all the diairmanships by the casting veto of the ^ice-President is simply to empower Ibo ^ice-President to appoint tho commit ees. That has never been consented to intil this session, when, for the sake of icace, tho Democrats permitted it. It viii never be permitted again, and due md fair warning is now given to that : fleet. It is bold by Democratic souatora that heso propositions present their caso in ho clearest manner, and entirely justify, o ?ny one even but slightly familiar vith the rules of legislative proceedings, he co. irse whicb ?hey h a vu adopted and vhich '.hey peri ist in. - A sp?cial from Clinton, Iowa, says hat tho night express westward on tho [lock Island division of the Chicago, ?lilwaukie and St. Paul Railroad, was brown into tho Illinois River nt Mere losittj at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, by he giving way of thc trestle work. Two :ars floated ofT down tho stream, one passenger coach lodged agu i ii s I int ism?u ibout four rods away, and tho baggage :ar struck in the middle of the airca -i ibout the same distanco away. Only tho roofs of the two cars are now in sight. The engineer and fireman and six pas longers wcro drowned, and n number of others were injured. The river is n per fect torrent wnero tho trestlo went out. it is said that a freight train passed over the bridge an hour or BO before tho pas lenser train. Twenty boats are at work tn the pouring rain searching for bodies ind picking up luggage. All tho bodies ire believed, however, to be washed out. The shore at the scone of tho accident, ind for eight miles below, is lined with people looking for fragments of the rr reek. - Tho Williamsburg Herald says : "On last Saturday three young meu, on their way to Presbytery, met a crowd of nen at Anderson Bridge, on Lynch's Creek, having in charge a colored man suspected of breaking into a houso and stealing therefrom. Thc crowd-more Tor amusement than auything else-elec ted ono of the young men from Indian town as judge, and, after a fair trial, the negro was convicted, and the judge sen tenced bim to be swung up n little ways in order to make him confess. Tho negro trent over to Scranton to Trial Justice Hudson and took out a warrant for three of the party." - In nn altercation between two no nces near Greenwood last week Daniel Noble was savagely si ashed wit h a knife by Silas Matthews, inflicting eight or ten ugly .rounds, one penetrating tho cavity o he body and several terribly gashing tho face.
