Cotton was quoted in Liverpool on the 18th at 14d. for Middling Uplands. The New York Cotton market on yesterday quot? ed Middling Uplands at 83. Gold closed at S6?. Punch says that during the slippery weather a great many bankers lost their balance. An Indian pony in Texas may be bought for a quart of whiskey. It ie stated that the Lochiel Iron Company, of Harrisburg, has contracted to furnish three thou? sand tons railroad iron for a Southern railroad. The deepest gold mine in the Great West is at Gold Hill, Nerada. It is 900 feet deep, and has P. tunnel 100 feet long. The carrier of the mail from Falmouth to Fred ericksbnrg, Ya., travelled between the two points on slates last Saturday. '. At present there is not a single new merchant fihip or a teamer in course of construction at any of the New Dirk, Brooklyn pr Jersey City ship-yards. ll'.,' A hopeful young lawyer says that any young lady who possesses 1000 acres of land presents sufficient grounds for attachment. Frederick Douglass, being at St Louis on the . - 7th inst., was refused admission by every hotel in the city, and had tb go to a private house. An association of youths has been formed in Wilmington, N. C., the members whereof are sworn to marry no lady worth less than $20,000. The snow storms in New Orleans since 1800 can . be counted on one's fingers. The first was in the . first year of the century; the next in 1817; the third five years hiter; another in ISSI, and the last in 1882. Vienna is the only city in the world where the snow is removed as fast as it falls, but at an enor? mous expense. AH the men ont of work are set to . sweep the streets,, at sixty kreutzers (about twen i ty-two cents).? day. - The New .York Herald, of Saturday, laments the dullness of the times and says : "The Spring trade is not to be compared with that of last year. So much for your counsels, and such as you. You will hang yourself with your own rope, and the South will say Amen ?? '"'*! The Canadian Government has awarded pensions and gratuities to the volunteers who suffered by reason pf - the late. Fenian invasion. The gratui? ties range from $50 to $201, and the pensions from 20 cents a day to $400 a year. . A communication sent to the Senate Saturday by the Secretary of .War, gives derails of the enor? mous cost of supplias " delivered to troops in the Rocky Mountain region. Hay costs $60 to $100 a .v: ton^:ttd:;oork;8^ $4 83 per bushe?.: . The'common people of Hanover spit on Bis MASK'S photograph, and mothers in South Ger? many teach their children to hate him, and nurses ': frighten them to quiet by telling them about the horns he wears on his head and the small boys he ha? eaten. . u.-: A Quebec paper says that the Cunard Company have vmonnced that on the termination of their mail otntract next year they will not send steamers to'Hahfax and Boston oftener than freight or pas? sengers can be found for them,, but will increase 'f-jtte service to Kew Yorkj where .cari?" ?nd passen ... gera are abundant. Mr. Du CHAILLU intends to visit the United . States during the spring, and will leave London 'j ? about the. first of March. His new work, "Travels in Aahary'a Laud," is in press in London, and will be issued at once, both .there and here. In this country Messrs.' APPLETONS will be Mr. DD CHAIL LTJ'a publishers, we hear. . The 30th Congress expires on the 4th of March. Bfllspassed during the last ten days- can be quiet? ly pocketed by the President, as he has that inter? val allowed him by the Constitution for considera? tion of measures. To avoid this gratification cf his vetoing propensity, Congress will be compelled to pass all important bills before the 20th of Feb? ruary. Sundays are not counted. . 'The following is from the Zainesville (Ohio; Times : "Among the marriages occurring in this city last week was one of a highly respectable young woman to an individual who was a South erner, and at the beginning of the war a slave, notwitostanding the fact of his having, to ell ap? pearances, no negro blood in bis veins." An investigation which has been made, shows that many of the brokers in flour at the New York Com Exchange are guilty of great frauds. Much ._. of the flour branded as superfine, and sold as such is, it appears, made up, In part at least, of refuse ?cuff and damaged materials, sent to the mill and ground over again. When the Fenian prisoners, Colonel LYNCH, Father MCMAHON, and others, were conveyed to the Penitentiary at Kingston, Canada West, their heads were closely Shaved and their whiskers cut. LxNOB objected to sacrificing -his moustache and imperial, but the warden succeeded in persuading him to do ao. The Nashville Gazelle states that initiatory steps have been taken for the erection of a fitting monu? ment over the remains of General CLEBURNE. The estimated cost is $25,000, and large Bums have al? ready been subscribed. Mr. F. W. RUDD, of Pu? laski, Tenn., intends canvassing to complete the subscription. The colored men of Ohio, it appears, are not in favor of the submitting of the equal suffrage ques? tion at present to the people of the State. Mr. Jenkins, a well known colored man, vice-President i of the Ohio Equal Bights League, has been in Co - Iambus lobbying against the measure. He thinks the proposition will have a better chance of sue ' cess hereafter than at present. We find the following paragraph in the Imperial Review, a new weekly Conservative paper : "It is qpt generally known that the Fenian difficulty was the subject of diplomatic representations at the Vatican during the spring and summei of the past year. The Papal Government gave ample proofs of the friendly disposition towards Great Britain, by which they are actuated in all that concerns the Fenian question.** The Richmond Examiner says : " Our talented young townsman, Mr. EDWARD V. VALENTINE, has just completed, in clay, a statuette of General J. E B. STUART. He has succeeded in producing an admirable likeness of this distinguished officer, both in form and feature. The pose is character ia tic, and the whole work is said by those who know bim well, to be well nigh perfect. It will be moulded in plaster in a short time. The statuette is a much better likeness of General STUART than the bust by the same artist. Mons. 'JEAN BAPTISTE LASSUE, an ingenius Frenchman of New York, claims to have invented an serial ship, capable of being steered and manag? ed in the air, and of making the trip across the At? lantic in three days and a half. His ship is a lon? gitudinal cylinder, representing about 1000 feet in length and 300 in diameter. Through thiscylin pdar, at its centre,: passes a tunnel, and through this tunnel are steps, and men tread them to pro? pel thp ship. Attached to the outer surface of the cylinder is a thin screw or spiral flange, which, auger-like, is to bore the passage of the ship through the air. There wss a great sale of coal at auction in New York, a day or two since. Some two hundred thou? sand tons were Bold at a valuation of nearly one million of dollars, as follows : 102,000 tons lump coal at $5; 43,000 tons steamboat^ 12?; 19,500 tons grate, $512J; 18,000 tons egg. $5 25 ; 9000 tons stove, $5 40 ; 11,000 tons chesnut, $4 25. Messrs. QUINT ARD, WARD & Co., took about thirty-five thousand tons of thia coal, and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company twenty-five thousand tons. Other large amounts were taken by particular firms. The New York Tribune of the 15th says : "Mr. SEWARD'S letter to Mr. DUDLEY, our Consul at Liverpool, states officially what we knew unofficial? ly, that the United StateB Government has entirely repudiated the compromise which Messrs. MORSE and Gans made last December with the rebel agents in England. Without repeating the his? tory of the case,, it is enough to say that white the United States had suits in the English courts to recover a very largo amount of property held by rebel agent?, Mr. MORSE, Consul at London, and Mr. GIBBS, an igent of the Treasury Department, agreed to a compromise by which our Government abandoned valuable claims. Mr. SEWARD'S letter says the arrangement was made upon absolute want of authority, and that Mr. MORSE had ex? press instructions to make no contract with re? presentatives of the rebellion," ?

CHARLESTON TUESDAY MORNING-, FEBRUARY 19, 18C7. CON GRESS AN? THE SOUTH. Mr. ELIOT'S Bill for tho reconstruction of Loui? siana, which passed tho House a few days ago by a vote of 113 against 48, and Mr. STEVENS' Bill for converting the ten States, lately known as "Con? federate," into fivo Military Districts, which passed the House by a vote of 109 to 55, are very similar in p urpose and intent. In a word, the original Bill of Mr. STEVENS simply provided military govern? ment for the Southern States-leaving them still without representation. Its avowed object was to leave them open to Mr. ELIOT'S Bill-the Louisi? ana Bill-which enfranohises all the negroes and disfranchises all the whites who wore concerned in the war. The last amendment, however, that in? troduced hy Mr. BLAINE, and. subsequent? ly amended" by Mr. SHEEHAN, which was passed in the Senate on Br urday, and which we publish elsewhere. proposet> to admit the South? ern States on the adoption of the Constitutional .Amendment- and suffrage for all-white and; black alike. There has been, considerable "field? ing" in tiie debate.of these Bills in both Houses, and they will not pass, it is thought, without still further modifications. Conference Committees will doubtless be called for and appointed to har? monize the .notion of the two Hor es, and perhaps, also, with a view of ble ding all the reconstruction plans and Bills nto one that shall cover the whole ground. Should Con? gress agree on any bf the schemes that have lately been put forward, the President will almost cer tainly veto such Bill; for notwithstanding all that Mr. RAYMOND, Mr. EZSQHABI, . Mr. BANES and others, ba ve, ?aid about the probability of a com? promise between the two antagonistic branches of the Government, we cannot believe that the Presi? dent will give his sanction to a policy in all re? spects diametrically opposite from that which he has pursued for nearly two years. .It is impossi? ble to say now. what will - be the fate of such a Bill in case of a veto, as the vote waa too close on both the House Bills of last week to warrant our giving an opinion aa to the result. If they" cannot set aside tiie veto, the impeachment will doubtless be pressed; with-renewed.vigor. But suppose Congress shall be able to command the necessary number of votes to pass the Bill over the veto, the President, as the Commander-in Chief of the Armies of the United States, will not enforce it inti! its constitutionality shall have been determin.a by the Supremo Court. There can, of course, be no question aa to the . character of the decision that, will be given by this.-Co ;rt. The de? crees they have already rendered in the Military Commission and Test Oath cases, point out.clearly what will be their verdict on this much more fla? grantly unconstitutional Eill., This Congress kn?W8 very well, and they will therefore (impelled by the instinct of party-preservation)-proceed ;in their endeavors >'n some way to set aside the au thorifcy of the President, and -so to "reorganize" tiie Supremo Court as to render their decrees in? nocuous to the interests of the Radical porty, j The great object of Mr.; STEVENS' and Mr. EL? IOT'S Bills, appear to be to. disoniranchise the entire white population of the ton Southern States, to enfranchise all tho negroes, and thus hand over the Government into tho hands of these latter new-made citizens. The Louisiana Bill provides that the President aimil appoint for. a year a Gov? ernor for the State ; a man of thoroughly loyal an? tecedents and character, whose skirts are entirely free of any " rebel' affiliations, and that in the same way and. under the. same 'conditions a provi? sional council of nine members ?hall bo forthwith appointed for the temporary government of the State, including the appointment of subordinate officers, &c, all of whom ore to be subject to the iron-clad oath ; that on the first Tuesday in June next, under said provisional government, there sholl be an election for a regular -Governor, Lieu? tenant Governor and Legislature;-that mole citi? zens of aU colors, above the age of twenty-one, thoroughly loyal and free from any taint of the "re? bellion," shah heve the right to vote, and none others; that in October next a convention of loyal men sholl be elected to form a new State Constitu? tion ; that the State, meantime, shall be placed un? der the additional protection of ! a military com? mander, with a sufficient force to maintain order, and that all the proceedings of this provisional and regular State government and convention, shall be subject to the approval of Congress from the first to the last step required for tho restora? tion of said State to full fellowship in the Union. So much for Mr. ELIOT'S Louisiana Bill, which certainly hos the merit of being thoroughly iron? clad. This will reduce oil the present office hold? ers, of whatsoever degree, into thp ranks of pri? vate life, and elevate a new class of men, who have not been very patiently waiting for this political millennium. Mr.. STEVENS' Bill, which we printed in full on thefirst'rage of yesterday's NEWS, provides for the division of the ten "Confederate" States into five Military Districts, and tho revival of martial law therein, each district to be under a military commander, and a? I to be subject to the general supervision and control of General GBANT. This bill strips our State Governments of power, but does not overthrow thom. We shall doubtless bc T>ermitted to keep up, ot our own expense, both State and municipal governments; which, how? ever, will be mere shams. The judiciary depart? ment alone may still bo of some service to us, in the administration of the ordinary civil business. These Courts, however, will possess no highor au? thority than would a board of arbiters, as there is no executive power to back their decrees. Mr. STEVENS, by calling the Southern Stales, "so-called Confederate," ignores the lapse of two years, with all that has been done during that time towards" the establishment of loyal civil govern? ments in the South. The universal reign of peace throughout tho Union, proclaimed by the Presi? dent a year ago is at an end. Congress deHbo rately announces, by the passage of this law, that the war has not yet ended, that "the so-called Confederate States" are now in the state of an? archy in which they found themsolves immedi? ately after the surrender of the Confederate armies. The SHEEHAN Amendment, which we append, is not mach better than the bills of MESSES. STEVENS and ELIOT. It asks us to adopt the Constitu? tional Amendment-which doubtless we will never do,-and says mi versai suffrage for all. SECTION 5th. When any rebel State forms a Con? stitution in conformity to tho Constitution of tho United States, framed by a convention of dele? gates, elected by male citizens twenty-one years old without regard to race, color or previous con? dition, resident in the State for ono year, except persons disfranchised by participation in tho re? beli?n or by felony; when the Constitution pro? vides that the olective franchise be enjoyed by all persons qua^fied as delegates; when tho Constitu- i tion. ratified by a majority of electors who have elected the delegates, shall be submitted to Con- I gross and approved; when said State Legislature, elected under the said Constitution, adopts the Constitutional Amendment, and said Amendment becomes part of the National Constitution-said States shall be declared to bo entitled to repre sentation, and Senators and Representatives there? from nba", be admitted on taking the oath pre? scribed by law. Our condition, in caso either of tho Bills or tho above Amendment becomo a law, will be a re? newal of tho state of things that obtained here in 18C5, and thc early part of .?8GG, of which -orno of our citizens, doubtless, still retain a lively recollection. Provost Courts and Provost Marshals; Military Commissions and United States Detectives; a censorship of tho press and a super? vision of thc pulpit-these aro some of tho fea? tures we arc likely to soc reintroduced. The prospest is gloomy in the extreme; and we can seo but little light in the black cloud that over? shadows the futuro. With a Military Dictator and a vigilant censorship, the editors duly will not be m easy one. AVe presume we shall bo under the necessity of imitating one of our French confreres, when under similar durance, and enunciate noth? ing save mathematical axioms and the mojt in lubitable ecicntific truths. Speculations of all rinds will be under the ban. The task is indeed liflBcult, but perhaps not wholly impossible. WANTS. WANTED, A SITUATION BY A RE?
