WILLIAMBON, of Shreveport, La,, form? erly of the staff of General Bishop POLK, has been elected United States Senator. Bear Admiral FLETCHES, U. S. N., has been dec? orated with a cross of honor by Queen EMMA, of ,tho Sandwich Islands. MM'T"* is receiving a supply of flour from Califor nia, and gets it cheaper from there than she can from Chicago. The attempt to smuggle by mail $3000 worth of diamonds set in a cork shaving failed in New York, Thursday, and the jewels were confiscated.. ? ' The Louisianians, says the Norfolk journal, who came hither in search of laborers for their planta? tions", returned home a few days since without hav? ing obtained a single one. The dials of the English Parliament clocks are twenty-two feet in diameter, the largest in the world. : Every half minute the point of the minute Land moves nearly seven inches. The Wanganui Times, a Ne w Zealand paper, Chima for the war with the Maoris the questiona? ble honor of being the longest war on record. With little, intermission, it has continued from 1844 to the present day. r i The pecuniary stringency is so great in Pitt county, N. C., that the people recently compelled the sheriff to burn up all his writs and executions returnable at court, refusing to be ejected from their homes, and being unable to pay. . > A seasorxticket to the P, aria Exhibition, includ :.- ing admission on the- day of opening, costa sixty francs, ia sjt?c?y personal, and accompanied by the signature or photographic representation of the owner. .- Within the limits of the United States and terri? tories there are 12,675 Baptist churches with 1,043,641 members, and 8088 ordained ministers. This sect alao"controls 29 colleges and 13 theologi? cal seminaries. ' A gold mine is said to have been discovered on the farm of JOHN WJXBOEN, in Marion county, Ky. Lots twenty feet square are. held at $20,000 each. It is not said whether any have been bought,' though the specimens found appear to be the gen? uine metal. Th?. > millern Christian Adv?cale says that the proposition to change the name of the Methodist Episcooal Church, South, submitted to the Annual Conferences by the General Conference, has been defeated. It is believed that the Lay Delegation .preposition stands a chance of sharing the same _L???h? Japanese Ambassador now in Paris w?l viBit tho United States before returning home. Hisf name is KO-TOLE, and he bears the title of YAMATO 1 JO-FA-MT. He is a Minister of Foreign A?a-'rs at Japan, .grand officer of the Taicoon, and Governor of one of the largest provinces. Hr. B. D. BBOWEE, of Buffalo, who was one o the first American merchants to enter Japan, pos. jesses a statuette idol from one of the Japanese temple?, representing the god of writing, or the apotheosized inventor of written language. It is formed cf-clay, very finery moulded, very firmly hardened; and bronzed or gilt. - Th? New York Sod ete Culinaire Philantropique, gave its 'first annual ball recently, afc the Ger jmania Assembly Booms, for.the benefit of widows . and orphans. There was a very fine supper. The ?? feature of it was, that every member supplied some dish of his own manufacture. The pubHshing .house of the Mi ama Printing 4^?pi?ny,j by fire on AirediKon of 1000 copies of BASIL Jt?atk '*Hi?toiy'c-f 'MorgarVjeJCajgabryr and a.Janee .numJ^/cTT>Tner7D??M "were ^destroyed. Loss V $8&;(^i ihaured for $80,000. i;n, The'Mississippi steamer David While, plying be? tween New Orleans and Louisville, was blown np sear Columbia, Ark., on* Sunday, and thirty-eight : persons are known to have been killed and nine? teen wounded. - There are sixty-five passengers missing, whose names are unknown, as the books were lost. The. Maryland Republicans are very generally signing a petition asking the United States Senate sot to admit Gov. SWAT.'i to a seat in that body ' ?ext March, asserting that he -secured his election through corruption and fraud. Gov. SWAHN will 7?oub?ess share STOCKTON'S fate, and be f Iiis ted" cut of his seat The Kbel;Buit of .CHABLZS READE, theEngi;eh novelist, against the proprietors of the Bound Table, the'; libel ' teing in the shape of unjust .criticiras of "Griffith Gaunt,'' is now before the New York courts. READE considers himself ; ??rnagod $2?,000 worth, which is? great deal moro ! a than the Round Table's opinions ever'amounted to. A whole family in Philadelphia waa discovered - '-Jast week ?D almost the last stages of starvation, and the horror of the scene was heightened by the discovery bf the appalling fact that the father of B . the family, who had died ten- days ago, was still .unburied,. from 'lack .of the necessary means to defray the expenses of sepulture. The Deseret Neva. (Mormon organ) professes to Lejjeve that Western speculators and contractors instigated the so-called Mormon crusade, and sug gestff:that the easiest way of settling the difficulty is to give BEIGH Air Youno & Co. the State Govern Tnent which they are petitioning fof, and a fair chance to develop "the greatest social problem of tnoage."- i -, ?An intelligent correspondent of Hie Milwaukee Wisconsin, who is travelling in New York and New England; writes gloomily of the condition of me? chanics, artisansand labor?is in the Eastern and Middle States. He says tie stagnation in busi Sesa .ha* not been equalled since 1861, when the country waa smitten with torpor, before the civil war. The London Times has an account of a young lady, who, under the guidance. of-her confessor; '.- vtiook a'vow of celibacy for two years, unknown to her parents. An offer of marriage waa subsequent? ly made to her with approval It was not proposed that-she should marry until the period of her yow Lad eirdred; but she had scruples . in doing 80 "even then, unless her director would give his ?j jganction. He was solicited by her parents to grant - it, but fee refused, and che lady died single. The confessor was the distinguished L>r. PUSEY himself. The'recent decision bf the Supreme Court of the United States encounters an influential opposition near'at hand. The highest Court of the District of Columbia has come to an unanimous opinion tha ; the test oath is constitutional, which may startle the worshippers of- a venerable and moss-grown judiciary. The District Court, after controverting the positions of the United States Supreme Court, does not feel bound to regard its decisions as man? datory, and refuses to set aside its own rule, re? quiring the test oath to be taken by attorneys practicing within its jurisdiction. * \ ? The New York Post states that a contract has Leen made by a company for a cable of superior construction and material, to be laid down between the United States and Portugal. Starting from Borne point on eur coast, it will, be carried to Ber-! muda, and thence to the Azores, and land in Lis? bon. It ia claimed that the laying of .'the line be? tweenthe points 'mentioned involves much leBS .labor, expense and risk, than that of the British company. That there ia hot little danger of failure in this respect ia evident from the fact that estab? lished companies agree to complete the work, taking the responsibility of failure. Another ad vaatage in this line will be that if one section of the cable is, broken tha others are not rendered useless.' Arrangements have been perfected for Leginning the' work very.soon. The Kansas and Missouri Legislatures have taken nieaanres to prevent the transit of Texas cattle across thoseStates. The alleged reason is that the Texas cattle are infected with the "Spanish fever." The more probable cause is that the cattle-growers of tnosa States desire to excludr theresa3 cattle from a fair competition in the market. We find in the St. Louis Democrat a communication which nrges this latter view very well. The writer says: "Daring last summer many thousands of cattle were' driven back of tho settlements of Kansas ocnring to the: Missouri at Nebraska City, from there sent to Chicago, packing houses. Those very, cattle ought to have been packed in Mis -swnri,: and would have been, had not a foolish prejudice been raised in Southern Kansas and Southwest Missouri against the passage of South? ern cattle through thoBe portions qf Kansas and Missouri," LARGEST CIRCULATION.-The DAILY NEWS publishes thc Official List of Let? ters remaining in the Posto?ce at the end of each week, agreeably to the following section of the JVcio Posto?ce Law, as the newspaper having the largest circulation in the City oj Charleston: SECTION G.

BRIGADIER-GENFRALIZING THE SOUTH. In our Saturday's issue we published the jfuil text of the Military Reconstruction Bill, which passed the United States Senate on the evening of the 20th. We now propose to examine into its pro? visions a little further. It opens with a preamble: "Whereas no legal State governments or adequate protection for life or property now exists in the Rebel States of Virginia," etc.,-'and whereas it; is necessary that peace and good order should! be enforced ?a thc tjoid States until loyal and Bepub lican State governments can be legally establish-j ed." AU mere assertion, without a word of well-sub? stantiated proof; yet deemed sufficient reason for a most unwarrantable interference with constitu? tional liberty. But it is evident the main outlines of this reconstruction policy had been pre-de termined, and that the reasons for the same were afterwards prefixed, to preserve a show of consis? tency. If Congress really mean what they say in thiB preamble, they declare the ten Southern States in anarchy; there is no law, and every one who sees fit so to do, may commit any crime with impunity, it is idle for us to contradict these assump? tions. They are.not.facts, nor even based on fact. This our readers know; and thiB also know the members of Congress who enacted the SHEBHAN WrxsoN-SHELiABAuaEB Bill. The people of tim j North, many of them at leaBt, doubtless believe the assertion contined in the aforesaid preamble; but, as nothing that we can say will reach them, we forbear dwelling further on this part of the EUI. The South then is divided into five uulifcary dis? tricts, of which North and South Carolina shaU constitute thesecond; and the President feigns an officer of the army to each of these districts, so that our aUowance in that part of the nonmilitary district, lately knownas the State of South Carolina, will be just half a brigadier. = Said brigadier can, if he Bees fit, leave intact the existing State govern? ment, {in so far at least as. the aoUninistratioh of I justice is concerned), or he may or?anize Military Commissions for the trial of offenders.. It gives him unhmitod power, both judicial and'| executive, the only restriction being that the ap? proval of the President m. necessary, before any sentence of death can be carried into, effect nuder this Act. He can' if he sees fit, set aside the entire, machinery of local: government, and with bis . agents take their place. The Provost Marshall may sit in the Court of Sessions and Common Pleas'. The.Genral, or one of hi? assistants, run the Chancery CourtB. The Assistant Provost Mar? shalls wiU, perhaps, furnish our local columns with the items hitherto supplied by the Mayor's I-Court. It is a curious feature, certainly, in nine? teenth century civilization, to see the whole machi? nery of a "constitutional" government, executive, I judicial, and legislative, in the hands of a legally constituted military despot, to aU intents and pur? poses absolute within the limits of his department. 1 The privilege of habeas corpus is not suspend? ed,-as was the case in STEVENS' original of this Bill,-but there will be such difficulties connected with the issuing of Trrits, etc., that we fear it wUl not be often resorted to; especially as the 3d sec? tion of the BUI contains a clause declaring nuU and void "all interference, under .color of State au? thority, with the exeicise of military authority under this Act.** " . .. . . But the civil side of the Court is even wors9, if possible. There there is not even a military com Mt purely and absolutely in the commandant's I .discretion.. He is not. bound to report his deci? sions to any one, butmay sit, as SAINT Louis, of j France, us.d to, under, a tree by the road-side, and administer primitive justice to whoever comos, with ; or withput. "money. pr. price." The *whole property of a State.(says the Cincinnati Commer? cial, in a sensible article on this measure), wUl be at his discretion, and if he becomes rich, he may say, as WABBEN HASTINGS did of his wealth amassed in India, that he is amazed that he did not become richer, since all the treasures of the country were at his feet. It is useless to say that it is not anticipated that local tribunals wUl be en? tirely set aside when the military office is fully and in explicit terms authorized tr set them all ! aside? and their authority, even if- they, are per I mit ted to exist, is fatally attacked when they are declared 'to be p?jrts of a "pretended" Govern? ment. But section 5th shows a.Way of escape. This Act is only provisional-the exercise of military authority only temporary . Certain conditions hav? ing been complied with, the Brigadier makes his1 bow, and we can go to Congress. The following are the ?onditions: 1. The-people of the said rebel States may form I a constitutional govornment. 2. Such government must be framed by a con? vention. 3. The delegates to this Convention ore to be. | elected by male citizens of said State twenty-one years old and upward, of whatever race, color or previp^'O?ndition, excepting only a certain class of ''rebels," and likewise convicted .criminals. 4. The constitution, framed by the convention; [ appointed as aforesaid, is to corder suffrage on all except the parties excluded as above. 5. This constitution is to be ratified Jt>y a major? ity of the people,-ali races, colora, conditions, etc., except "rebels" of a certain degree, and crim? inals. 6. The Constitution is next to be submitted to I Congress for examination and approval. Bat the State is not yet ripe* for admission to tho j Union. More stUl wiU be required from the pro? bationers. 7. When Congress shaU have approved the Con? stitution .thus made and ratified, and when said State by a vote of its Legislature, eleoted under such Constitution, shall, have adopted the " Con stitutioal Amendment," and when said Amend? ment shall have become a part of the Constitution of the United States, said State shaU be declared entitled to representation in Congress ; and 8. Senators and Representatives shall be admit? ted therefrom on their taking the oath known as the Iron Clad. 9. Then and thereafter the preceding Sections I of this Act shaU be inoperative in said Sjkate. 10. Now comes Wilson's amendment, provided j thatno person excluded from the privilege of hold? ing office by the Howard amendment shall be eli? gible to election as a member of the Convention to J frame a constitution for any of these StateB ; nor shaU any Buch person vote for said convention. 11. SheUabarger's amendment (Section-Gth of thc BUI) goes on to say, that until the said Bebel States shaUbe bylaw admitted to pr?sentation in Con gress, any civ? government which may exist there? in shall be deemed provisional only, subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control or supersede the same. 12. "In aU elections to any office under such provisional govonuneuta, aU persons shaU be en? titled to vote, and none other," as abpve set forth ; i. e., aU negroes over twenty-one joars of age may vote, but only such#whites as are jiot disqualified from holding office by the 3d section of the Con? stitutional Amendment. In case this BUI becomes a law, our future is indeed lamentable; for it seems by sec? tion C, that, after aU the preliminary steps, nnmerous, tedious, unjust and exacting though they be,-sball have been complied with, in the reorganization of the now Stato Gowornmenta, Congress may stiU at any time "see fit to modify,'' et2., and keep us ont another fom* years. De? cidedly disheartening. ? 1? WHO IS DISFRANCHISED. Saturday, we expressed our views on tho mean? ing of the 3d Section of the Constitutional Amend? ment.. As there is, however, a variety of opinions on the subjeot, we again give the text of this SECTION 3. No person shall be a Senator or Eop resentative in Congress, or Elector of President or Vice President or hold any office, civ? or mrktiuy, under the United Statos or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath as a momber of Congress, or as an officer vf The United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an ex- I ecutive or judicial officer of any State, to support ' the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof. ?But Congress may,, by a vote of two thirds (if eacbsflouse, remove such disability. By tho Wilson amendment the persons'disquali? fied in the foregoing section from holding office, are likewise prevented from, voting. Tho Bioli mond Examiner of Friday gives its version as follows : As we read the third Boction, any man. may be. elected to the Legislature. But there is no other position of honor.to which the.proscribed classes are eligible. The proscribed classes of Bichmond (and every where oise? we use Bichmond for illus? tration,) are all men who at any time previous to the war, no matter how long before, did as officers of any sort, or members of any legislative body, take an oath' to support the Constitution of the United States, and wno - afterwards engaged in re? bellion, or gave "aid and comfort to the enemies" of the United States. The taking of the oath to Bupport thc Constitution of the Confederate States and the holding of office under tho ; Confederate States no matter how high the office, create no disability to vote or hold office under this section. Neither is any man disqualified for office by reason of having taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and afterwards ongagjng in re? bellion, etc., provided he did ?ot take said oath as an officer, ?c. Lawyers are not disqualified SB such, although before the war every one had to take that oath, but only such of them are.disquali fiedas had held office. These explanations are made in answer to questions propounded to us. It is supposed there are about one hundred and fifty men in Richmond disqualified by the third Bection for ho ding office, and by the reconstruction bill for voting for members of a convention to. form'a new Constitution for the State. They can only be rendered eligible to office by a voto of two-thirdB of each Ho:ise of Congress. All persons who w?re formerly justices of the peace, judges, assembly? men, &c.,are disqualified. . . . ! The enfranchised class con?ists of negroes. Tho Bill provides that, whether we ratify the Constitu? tional Amendment or not, negroes shall hereafter vote for all offioers of the "provisional govern? ment," as our masters are pleased to term our State Government. Negroes, however, are not eligible to office. It IB supposed there will bo about double aa many white as black voters in Virginia. The present Legislature cannot ratify the amendment. It must be done by a Legislature to be elected under a constitution hereafter to bo iramoo1. _ WANTS, WANTED, A CLERK. IN A STORE IN A healthy village o a the South Carolina Kail road.
