[fhoji oun special conncsroxoEXT.] Colombia, November 7.?In the Senate, to-day, tho principal matter taten up was the bill to establish the domestic relations of persons of color, which was partly read for the second time, and underwent several modi fications. Tho amendments, however, were principnUy in form, and not in substance. Tho principal features of tho bill have been retained. In tho House, to-day, the bill to establish the District Co.-.rts was token up and read. This is tbo third bill of ibo Codo. It gives to tho District Judge oxclusi vo juris diction, subject to appeal, in all cases, civil and criminal, in law and in equity, in which persons of color are parties. It also gives to him tho appointment of magistrates and supervision over district officers. It requires him to hold weekly and monthly sittings of his Court, for the trial of misdemeanors and for other matters, and also quarterly sittings, lie also is required to approve con-, tracts made with persons of color, and for Umso se. Ticcs ho in to be allowed a salary of live hundred dollars, tnd nn additional compensation which has not yet been fixed. An tho bill now stands, thirty-one lawyers, with a supposed thorough knowledge of low a Ad equity, will be required to devote a great part of their timo to tho dntlc9 of what bids fair to be a very laborious office. A bill to amend tho Crlmiua] law was also read for the first time. This bill is the fourth and last bill of tho Code. A bill to amend the Stay law was read and ordered ta be printed; alspa bill to establish the evidence with re gard to lost deeds. 'I he joint Committee, to whom was referred the peti tion of i-urlrtlii. cif?zens of St. Holenu Parish, reported the actual condition of the lands?that come hud been and others now uro advertised for sale?and recommend. od tho adoption of resolutions to tho effect that Oov. Perry be urged to use every exertion to regain the lands, und that tho lion. \V. II. Trcscot continue his duties, which he has so "well sud usefully discharged. Thi.s report was agreed to, and ordered to be scut to | tiio Senate. The Committee on Federul Relation?, to whom was re ferred the resolutions of Mr. Barker in regard to tho fulfilment of tho Stuto of tho obligations imposed upon lier, and asking that tho pledge of tho Oovernmcnt be fulfilled towards her, (about which I wrote to you in my letter of Friday night), made a report, in which they state that, until tho supremacy of tho law is restored, onr1. people cannot be' roused to tli?t energy whlcJl is, necessary for tho return of prosperity; that, iiaving ac cepted the actual condition of tilings in good faith, we bad a right to hope that wo would be allowed to resumo our rights, and recommended tho adoption of tho reso lutions. s The immediate consideration having been moved, tho Speaker proceeded to read the report, and while in the net of so doing, Message No. 4 of the Provisional Gov ernor was received. This message stated that on the 28th October he had received a telegram hoping that the Legislature would adopt the constitutional amendment; that subsequently ho received another communication irom bun, to tho effect that he lelt disappointment at the action of the state with regard to the constitutional Amendment and the war debt. Oovemor Perry replied that the war debt was inconsiderable, and that it was feared that the second clause of the amendment would enable ongrcaa to interveno in tho internal affairs of the States. . To this Mr. Soward replied that tho President regard, ed adoption of these a sine qua non, and tMt he regarded the objection to tho second clause of tho constitutional Amendment aa querulous and unreasonable. Governor Perry also stated that he had addressed a communication to the Administration with regard to the assumption of the direct tax by tho State, and he recom mended that tho Legislature should assume the same. - Mr. Campbell said that he had stated the other day that thero is frequently great strength in inactivity. Jtloes not this show the truth of the remark? He asked the Oenerul Assembly if it is not well to remember the remark of Sir James Mclntosh, that there is such a thing as masterly inactivity. Is it not our business to let tho conquering party make their demands, and to give only what they demand ? lie believed that thero is groat hope for tho South. When tbo Constitution is spoken of &t the North, it ordinarily means the Presi dential election mid the spoils of oftlco. No nation or individual is dishonored, except by its own action. Let us do nothing but what we arc compelled to do. Let us Invite no discussion, but let us remember the position of the lion and the other beasts in the fable; this In mine as king oi the forest; this is mine on account of my power in the chase; and this third part, let him toko who can. - The consid?ration of Mr. Barker's resolution was then resuinyd. . Mr. Barker said that it was the first time in six months that South Carolina had attempted to UHert her dignity. He knew that South Carolina had nothing but what be longed to a eouqucrcd people; but we are not obliged to bend under the lash and bite the dust. We are not here >a representatives of a conquered people, but under tho Constitution. These resolutions toil nothing but the truth, and thc.ro euti be no impropriety in that. Mr. Ryan said that, while we shonld accept the Con ?titutioual amendment, we should do so hesitatingly, to abo? the North that we do not willingly accept every pill that it m ay choose to offer. Mr. Mullins said that tho resolutions meant that tho Convention of the 8tate was called under cert ain pledges, which pledge? should be carried out. Mr. Campbell hero asked if any gentleman had the President's proclamation, au that was tho organic law. His opinion wus, that we had carried ont the require ments. Mr. Mulita!) continued?The resolutions say wo liavo convened at your bidding; have carried ont your pro gramme ; und now ask you io'carry out your pledge. If we are conquered, have wo not a right to recall to them their contract, and ask them to carry out their pledge. If these resolutions contained a threat, he would not vote for them. The providence of God bas placed us in .* condition in which we cannot do what wo would; but Jt is not proper for us to aay this was not in the bond. There is a d?-pth of infamy an;1, degradation wbieb this peoplu cannot accopt. The brand of infamy is paying to? dearly even for civil liberty. Mr. P. P. Iticlinriliion Haiti Uiat tin- lUCSuAg? of tin Governor found them considering Ojo report, and that message would indicate ?hat something more was y.-t demanded; but cannot wc, on that account, say that we believe that we have done all, and ore entitled to all that you haw offctvd ? If new subjects occur, let us th? n meet Uicm ; and if more is demanded, and wo cannot escape them, let uh givo; but truth demands that wc should give an honest expression of our opinion that, up to-day, wc havo all that is demanded of us. Mr. Campbell said that we cannot comply with the re quisition of tho President and Mr. Reward to repudiate tbo debt, as that wouldtroqulrc another Convention?re pudiation having been forbidden by tho Convention. He read the order of Geil. GiRniore with regard to tbo appointment of Governor Perry and tho call of the Con vention by order of tho President, and said that, in his opinion, the resolution? were manly and truthful. They woro before us when we read the Message. He agreed wi th Mr. Barker. He knew that when the President was appealed to in a truthful, manly way, that ho replied in tbo tamo manner. AU blow thai he has the highest re gard for Governor Perry, but ho was not pleased that he ohould hr.vo managed thp matter of tho constitutional amendment without referring it to tho Legislature. He did not think him tho best pilot In the worst storm that ever was seen. He could not be captain, pilot and cook at tho samo time. Let him shinny his side and manage tho governorship as he pleases, but let us manage our own afluir?, He was in favor of the constitutional amend ment, and did not wish Oov. Perry to answer for him. Mr. Dnryoa said that ho would voto against the reso lution, because there was no power to whom itconUl be addrf **?d. Thoy are a mere expression of tho opinion of this Legislature, which is at this time uncalled for, and are addressed to but one of the branches of the Government. Tho President did uot undertake to say What was, but merely what, in his opinion, would be necessary. Oongrcss was tho only power which would scy on what ground this Stato would bo restored, or whether she would bo or not. Wo do not know whether wc will he treated ns a sovereign State or not In tho prissent state of uncertainly, the proper course is to do nothing. Oen. EUi'itt said that he would vote against the resolutions, because he did not see that they would ac complish any good. Oov. Uonhani moved to have tho report and resolu tions printed, ami made the special order of to-morrow, at one o'clock, which was agreed to. The resolution wiU net improbably bo ?lightly amended to-morrow, so us to meet the views of oU parties. SOUTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE.

A. M. -?-?-. THE JAMAICA INSURRECTION. EMissAnir.s fhom Tin: totted states said to he ti:e I iNSTiOATons or tue nxvoi/r. The New York World, ot tho 4th, says: Wo are per mitted to copy the following extracts from a letter re ceived by a merchant of this city, from Kingston, Ja maica, b)* way of Havana: -.. -. -lviNorton, October 15, 1?GJ. Ere this roaches New1 York yon will no doubt have heard of tho uusottled state of tho island, caused by the disaffection of the negroes. The wildest rumors prevail hero in Kingston regarding tho reported atrocities of the blacks in the interior sections of tho isluud. For what cause tho blacks arc in rebellion against their owti Gov ernment remains to be ascertained. Iu Jamaica, ns you ere aware, tho colored people have the preponderance, both In numbers aud iulhtoucc. The Legislative Assem bly, corresponding to your Congress, la virtually and to all purposes a negro assembly, as not more than one tilth of tho members belong to the despised white rac? The black population or {ho island outnumbers the white twenty to one. Tho Mayor of Kingston Is a col ored man, although he is believed to'dlsagree with tho majority of the colored peopio in their fanciful and vis ionary th?orie. More than three-fourths o.f the niagls-.. trates end i officers.-?of the Colonta\ 'GO>'cnUHei\t;<u?Q colored men, and several ?f the~bc"st cducatcd~ancl most' prominent journalists of the island are also colored men. Tho police are, with very few exceptions, belonging to the same race. Still, although education is generally dlllused throughout tho colony, there seems to he an In fernal feeling of hatred displayed toward tho whito mi nority, on the part of tho negroes. The principal cause of this feeling toward tho white man is said to be the introduction of a number of incen diary emissaries from the Northern United States, who go about among the half-educated and debased blacks, instilling false and pernicious ideas into the craniumsof their too-willing hearers. These scoundrels preach tho doctrine of a free and independent negro republic, to whoso chief-magistracy they would elevate the brutal Sunloque (at present residing at Kingston), or some of his mushroom nobility. We have also in our midst a large number of negroes, igno ' at ami brutal in their instincts, from the'neighboring island of St. Domingo, who would not.tail, in caso of a general outbreak, to fol low in tho footsteps of the inhuman butchers of 1793, if tho chance was afforded them. You will remember that the blacks sent a petition detailing their financial griev ances to the Queen some time ago, complaining of the high rate of provisions and other necessaries of ufo, and demanding some meaos of relief. The answer from tho Home Government was, in sub stance, "goto work;" but this did not please Uiu half barbarous descendants of the Maroon? in the interior of the island, and since then there has beon muttering? and seeret plottings on the part of tho blocks, encour aged and fomented, as I am aware from personal expe rience, by men who should know better from their in telligence and education. There aro a great number of helpless whito families, without protection, scattered throughout the more remote sections of the island, in accessible to all assistance in caso of an ?meute. lu Kings ton, we depend for our safety upon a fleet of war vessels, a handful of white troops, and a regiment of African ne groes from the Cape of Good Hope, who stroDgly evince by their bravery and conduct the samo feeling of hatred toward the colored nativos of the island that tho latter manifest toward the whito population. Iu case of a uni versal rising all over tho island I anticipate an indis criminate massacre of white women and children as iu former insurrections. As I am about to close this letter for the mail, I have received some very bad 'information from St. Elizabeth parish, through our agent there. He states that there has already boen fearful work in ono or two of the par ishes. Several white men have been murdered iu cold blood by the Infuriated negroes, and their bodies muti lated in a shocking manner. It is also rumored that three accomplished young ladles, belougiug to ono of the best families In tho parish, have, beon first tortured to ascertain tho whereabouts of valuables, and then murdered In a moat fiendish manner. Terror reigns supremo in tho vicinity of Black Rlvor, and the planters aud law-abiding citizens are preparing themselves for the final struggle by arming and barricading their dwellings. My family, as yon know, resido in the vi cinity of the outbreak, aud I am in dread anticipation of receiving news of their slaughter every moment, I must close my letter, for I am unfit to write any farther. R. E. T. The New York Time* says of tho Congressional oath that it certainly would be a remarkable anomaly, If Con gress had tho power to protect tho Government by re quiring an oath of loyalty from all its servants In the ad ministrative and judicial departments, and yet no power to carry but tho same purpose by requiring a similar oath from the public servants in the legislative depart ment. In which equal If not greater opportunities exist to cripple the Government It would again be a rcmark able anomaly if Congress bas a right to pass law?, making tho commission of all other felonies a perpetual disqual ification of holding civil oflloe or trust, a right which it lias always exercised in common with every State Legis lature, il it has not the right to attach the same disqual ification to the highest of all felonies?treason, It would again be a remarkable anomaly if in the case of treason aTone of all others, an oath cannot constitutionally bo ex acted from the applicant for public trust, to establish and verify his qualification. L1TEIIATI/HE. l.T.MV Rr. Rkjiy ; or, Tiii-: Roy in Rm;e. By Mrs. ('. II. Oildendcvvo. James O'Kiinc, publisher : 12il Nassim street. New York. This work, coming to us from the publishing house of u gentleman who has placed us under repeated obli gations by continued acts of courtesy and attention, has been perused with a preconceived desire to say in its behalf as much as can be sai?\ with any degree of con scientiousness. As we have vainly searched, however, for tho slightest spark ol merit in the work Itself, save? what wo tako pleasure jn according it?tho oxccllcnco of tho diction; aud, as wc are anxious to say something good in connection therewith, we premise our remarks by observing, that Mr. O'Kane is one of tho most relia ble, onorgctlc, and enterprising publishers In New York, who rarely sends forth, from his press, any but first class productions. Revenons a nos moutons. With the exception of the diction, which is chaste and faultless, the book, from the first page to the last, is simply the mOBt supreme trash that ever emanated from a woman's I pen. The Boy in Blue enters the army, fights bravely, plays the spy successfully, and turns out, after oil, to be a girl in blue, who, having discarded tho lover she had some affection for, on tho ground that he Is a rebel ami a traitor (terms exceedingly unpalatable to Southern readers), follows, in disguise, the man she docs no< love and marries him In tho cud. Thero is a negro in tho book, aud au attempt at imi ta tliig the negro dialect?only an attempt, however, for it bos too much smack of the mlustrel talk, and too little of the ring of the real coin. It is to bo regretteil that Mrs. Giloer-sleeve should bavo wasted tho time noccBsarily required evoit in the mechanical labor it must have cost her to got up these three hundred pages of plotless, senseless trash. Wo must, however, excuse her for pandering to the prejudices of tho multitude, for even Shakspeare was uot exempt from this weakness, evinced in making Shylock a Jew an?! Antonio a Chris tian, when the facts from which the plot was taken were tho exact reverse. We do. not, however, accuse Mrs. GiLOEnst.nF.vE of wearing the mantle of the Immortal Dard of Avon. Wc doubt if she could create a Hamlet, a Macbeth or o Lear, but we honestly believe she is capa ble ef producing a better book than Rtmy St. Rtmy. Hon. Charles Macbeth, District Jndgc. The new Codo prepared by tho commissloncrsappoint c?l by his Excclloncy Provisional Governor Perry, under the authority conferred upon him by the Convention, providcB for the olcctlon, in each district, of a Judge, to administer the laws made necessary, under the new or der of things consequent upon the abolition of slavery. The position, do far as the District of Charleston is con cerned, is one of tho greatest importance, aqd one of our wisest and best men should he selected to fill it. Such u man can be found, as wo believe, in tho person of tho Hon. Charles Macbeth, whom wo beg to pre sent, without any knowledge on his part, for the office. An eminent jurist and wise counsellor, ho wiU, with the experience derived from eight years' service in the Mayoralty, safely administer the laws applicable to our new condition ; and if he be selected, our whole commu nity can rely upon a faithful and honest discharge of the duties of tho office.
