A | recent improvement in the process consists in ? replacing the acid by sal-ammoniac. The heat . ot the oven decomposes the hitter, and tho ea- ; caping ammonia contributes in common with the carbonic acid to render the bread light. -The New York Times, noticing the grow? ing trade between the West and Atlantic cities, hy way of New Orleans, says that "if our through railroad companies do not pay more attention to their roads and leas to the stock market, they will find formidable rivals starting np in the transportation line." A lot of flour was recently shipped from St Louis by river steamboat to New Orleans; was there reshipped; and came to New Yoik by sea in sixteen days. This is quick shipping time, and ought to stir up the railroads. -Judge Nelson has written a long letter in defence ol his introducing the Alta Vela guano business into bis impeachment speech. He says that it was doue iu vindication cf the President against certain unjust aspersions -which had been cast upon him by the Wash? ington Chronicle and New York Sun, and to re? fute the statement that Judge Black had with? drawn from the President's connsel because he had been badly treated by Mr. Johnson ; that the managers themselves had previously al? indad to the withdrawal of Judge Black in their arguments before the Senate ; and that if his reply to their allegations had been improper, the Court, or some member ol the Court, would have objected to his proceeding. -"Mack" has been favored with a peep at the forthcoming Chicago platform. He says "it was remarkable chiefly for the ??rill with which it evaded the great issues of the campaign reconstruction, negro suffrage, equal taxation, and the mode of paying the national debt. Prom first to last there is not a line in f ivor of tbe Congressional policy of reconstruction; not a single endorsement of the Fortieth Con gress, or any cf its measures; and no hint as to a financial policy. The whereas was twice as long as the resolved. There were some glittering words about the late war for the Union, a vague hint at equal rights without any special application, and P. glittering gen* rality in favor of maintaining the public credit. It meant everything or nothing, just as you liked to int erpret it. I could see nothing in ?l that the Democratic Convention might not adopt in July, without a dissenting vote, and at the same time, there was nothing that the strongest Republican could object to as squint? ing toward Conservatism. It reminded me the tarifl plank of th? Polk platform-in which the Democracy resolved themselves in favor a 'judicious tariff.' In South Carolina this was declared to mean free trade, or the next thing td it-revenue tariff. In Pennsylvania where the iron manufacturers were greedy and avaricious, it was translated into a pledge for a tariff of one hundred per cent. You paid your money and you took your choice." This he says, is the only " declaration of principles that Grant will consent to mn upon, and that there is very little doubt that it will be adopted by the Convention. CHARLESTON. \ -. TUESDAY MORNING, HAY 19, 1868. Tue Iron-clad and the Municipal Elec? tions. According to General CANBY'S letter al? ready published in THE NEWS, until "the State of South Carolina is declared entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States, the oath prescribed by the act of Congress of July 2, 1802, must be taken by all persons appointe? or elected to office." The oath of July 2, 1862, oom monly called the iron-clad oath, is as fol? lows: "I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have never voluntarily borne arms against the United States since I havo been a citizen thereof ; that I have voluntarily given no aid countenance, counsel, or encouragement to persone engaged in armed hostility thereto that I have never sought nor accepted nor at ?tempted to exercise tho functions of any office whatever, under any authority or pretended authority, in hostility to the United States that I have not yielded a voluntary support to any pretended government, authority, power or constitution within the United States, hos tile or inimical thereto ; and I do further swear (or affirm) that, to the best of my knowledge and ability. I will support and defend the Con stitntion of the United 8tates, against all en? mies, foreign and domestic ; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the samo ; that take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter ; so help me God." This oath must be taken by the Mayor and Aldermen to be elected on June 2d and 3d, unless the State is then, or before that time, declared to "ba entitled to representa tion in Congress. The omnibus bill does admit South Caro? lina to representation; but it is upon certain conditions, and it is evident enough that those conditions cannot be complied with before the days designated for the elections. If the omnibus bill is presented to the President to-day, it will remain in the hands of the President nearly ten days, if it is to be vetoed, or quit1; ten days if it become a law on account of tito failure of the President to sign the bill, or to return it with his objections. The bill, therefore, cannot well become a law before the end of May, just two days before the city elections; and when the bill has become a law the State must do her part. The third section provides that the first section of the act (the section which declares that the State shall be entitled and admitted to represen? tation) shall take effect when the President of the United States ahull proclaim the rat? ification by the State Legislature of the fourteenth constitutional amendment, the proclamation being ordered to be made within ten days after the receipt by the President of official information of said ratification. Here is room for more delay. Fhe Legislature cannot be called together na moment, it cannot meet earlier than the beginning of June, it cannot present to the President any * official information of the ratification of the constitutional ameni? nen t for several days, and, finally, the Pres dent has ten days within which to make proclamation. It, therefore, seems certain that South karolina cannot, under the most favorable ?ircumstances, be declared entitled to rep? resentation in Congress before the middle yr end of June, so that whoever is nomina ;ed for any municipal office to be filled on Tune 2d and 3d, must, if he is in earnest in jeing a candidate, be prepared to take the .ron-clad oath. REGISTER at once, or you will not register it all. TEE TRIBUNE SAYS that "the returning prodigals" (the Southern States), should be net by Congress in "a generous, trustful, sonciliatory spirit." It entreats the Re? publican majority "to frame and enact one general, comprehensive measure which shall fully restore to citizenship and all its rights every person now disfranchised who bas supported the policy of Congress, or who will take an oath, on or before the fourth day of July next, that he will hence? forth affirm and uphold the civil and politi? cal equality of all citizens, whether made such by birth or by naturalization." The Republican majority in the Senate may, however, be deaf to the Tribune's cry for amnesty, as it was deaf to its cry for ven? geance on Mr. ANDREW JOHNSON. Another question is whether the South would regard the proposition of the Tribune as either "generous" or "conciliatory." Too MANY of thc unregistered are waiting for the last two days, when the registrars will be so much engaged that those'whose time is of value will not be able to await their turn. SOUTH CAROLINA RAISES less corn and wheat to the acre than any other State in North America. In 1SC7 New York hud an average of thirty bushels of corn and four? teen bushels of wheat, Pennsylvania thirty two bushels of corn and twelve bushels of wheat, New Jersey thirty-three bushels of corn and fourteen bushels of wheat, and South Carolina nine bushels of wheat and six bushels of corn. There is no good rea? son for this. Our State has lands as rich and fertile as any in the world. Small farms, deep ploughing, thorough draining, and a free use of manure, will raise Caro? lina to a level with the New England States. An average of twenty bushel? of corn and ten bushels of wheat can readily be made, and this can be improved. Will not our farmers at least make the attempt ? WHAT has become of the piersons who have taken out iheir naturalization papers during the last few weeks ? Have they be? come citizens and will not take the trouble to register ? A CORRESPONDENT OF the New York Post wished to know whether senators from the South, who had not heard the evidence and arguments during the impeachment trial, could vote on the question of impeachment. The Post pointedly replies: "In point of moral guilt the senator who should vote for impeachment without hearing the case, would be far less culpable than one who de? cided how he would vote before he heard it, and governed his decision by his own passions instead of the evidence presented on the trial." FOUR DAYS more, and then no vote for the unregistered until the civil government is restored. THE CONDUCT OF Queen VICTORIA in surrendering to the keeping of Parliament all her rights by appointment or interfer? ence with the glebe lands or revenues of Ireland, is a graceful concession to the pub? lic sentiment of England; but unless the House of Lords can be made more enlight? ened and liberal than it now is, there will still remain one great obstacle in the way of the dis-establishment of the Irish Church. ONLY THREE DAYS after to-day for the un? registered. THE UNION REPUBLICAN Campaign Club of New York has resolved that the vote upon the articles of impeachment prepared against ANDREW JOHNSON "should not be taken unless oonviction is certain, until by prompt action Arkansas, Louisiana, Nortb Carolina, South Carolin and Florida are represented in the Senate." These straws show the way of the wind. ARE YOU UNREGISTERED ? Go up at once, or you are not worthy of your name. THE UNITED STATES have long claimed that they contained the tallest mountains, the longest rivers, the smallest politicians, the biggest fools, the largest trees, and the highest water: alls in the world. According to Mr. LOCAN, M. C., our glorious country is now made complete by the possession of the "greatest criminal of this or any other age"-President JOHNSON.
