"WOOLLEY EELEST6 AND TELLS HIS STORY_WHERE
THE MONEY. WXNT TO-DEBATES IN CONGEE- 8
ON THE ADMISSION OT THE SOUTHERN* STATES
LATEST PHASE 07 THE OMNIBUS BILL, ETC.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Woolley yielded and
answered the questions of the Corruption Com?
mittee to-day. His statement is given on the
ground that Shooks- evidence relieved him
from the confidence involved by profession pl
relations. It shows that Woolley was here to
influence the Ways, and Means Committee on
^.the whiskey tax in Shooks' interest. Woolie y's
proceedings in this respect are not fully stated,
but no corrupt operations are shown. Seven
teen thousand one hundred dollars of the j
missing money are, and have been, in the safe
of the Metropolitan Hotel. It appears, from
affidavits, that Woolley, Shooks and others were
at the Metropolitan Hotel, talking politics and
proposing bets. Woolley threw the money on
the table, requesting Snooks to hold it, and
Woolley left the room. Shooks took no notice
of Woolley's remarks or the money. Van Val
kenburg, regarding neither Woolley nor Shooks
in a proper condition to nave charge of so large
a sum, took the money and deposited it with
bis own valuables' in the Bate of the Metropoli?
tan Hotel. Tbe parties separated, and had no
communication during several days, in which
time the discordant evidence of Woolley and
Shooks was taken. The whole affair amounts
to nothing.
The Bbuisville Bsard of Trade asked a re?
duction of the whiskey tax to fifty cents.
The consideration of the Omnibus Admission
bill was resumed, and Alibaina was added to
the bill by .a vote of 22 to 21. A motion to
strike out the provisions nullifying the Georgia
relief clause was discussed au day, and the |
argument took a wide range. It was claimed
that without this clausa the Georgia constitu?
tion would have been defeated, and Congress
would defeat the will of the people by nullify?
ing it. Others argued that aside from its un
constitutionality, it wasr the first step toward
the repudiation of the national debt.. The
i argument indicated that the Senate will un?
doubtedly persist in multiplying the relief
clause. Without a vote the Senate went into
executive session and adjourned. .
The follQwing is the bul passed in the House
to-day:
Be it enacted, ?tc, That the Legislature of
each of the States of Arkansas, North Caro?
lina, South Qarohna, Louisiana, Georgia and
Alabama, elected under the constitution there?
of, framed trod" "adopted in pursuance with the
provisions of in act for the more efficient gov?
ernment of the rebel States, passed March 2,
1867, and the acts .supplementary thereto, be
and are hereby authorized to meet on such
days as may nave been fixed, either by such
constitution or by proclamation of any officer
authorized to convene eaid Legislature by the
-convention which framed- such constitution,
-and if no day shall have been fixed as afore?
said, or if the day so fixed for the meeting of
the L?gislature bf either of said States shall
have passed, or shall have so nearly arrived
before the passage of this act, that, in the
opinion of the Governor elect, there might
not be time for the Legislature to assemple on
the day so fixed, such Legislators may bf con?
vened within thirty days after the passage of
this act by the Governor of said State.
Section 2. That whenever either of said
States shall be admit tel to representation in
Congress, the executive and judicial officers of
such State, duly elected ana qualified under
the constitution thereof, may be inaugurated
without delay, and the government of such
State shall thereafter be transferred to the
civil authorities thereof.
Section 8. That it shall be the duty of all
civil and military officers, exercising authority
in either of said States, to afford all practical ,
aid and protection to the officers of such State 1
in carrying out the provisions of this act, and ! i
any such officer who shall wilfully withhold
such aid and protection, or shall wilfully
pr event, hinder or delay the meeting
of either of said Legislatures, ' or the
inauguration of any of said State officers,
or if any or either of said State authorities
shall be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction
thereof, before any Federal or State Court of
criminal jurisdiction, shall be punished by im?
prisonment not exceeding- ten years, or by a
fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars, at
the discretion of the court.
Woolley is still confined awaiting Butler's
convenience. The proprietor of the Metropoli?
tan Hotel had Woolley's seventeen thousand
one hundred dollars in the committee room.
Butler counted it.
Municipal affairs are s'atu quo.
PBOOEEDTNOB OF CONGRESS.
IN THE HOUSE, the Chinese reception
attracted an immense crowd. The usual pro?
ceedings occurred.
Beaman reported a bill from the Reconstruc?
tion Committee dividing Texas into three
States, which was ordered to be printed.
The bill inaugurating the Southern State
officers was read, and pissed by a vote of one
hundred and fifteen to thirty-one.
A bill was reported for the construction of a
railroacTand telegraph from Mobile to New Or?
leans.
The Tax bili was resumed and continued to
the hour of adjournment.
IN THE SENATE, Mrs. Eliza Potter, of Charles-?
ton, S. C., petitioned for the reimbursement of
$40,000 expended for the support of the-Union
prisoners by herself and family during the war.
It was referred to the Committee on Claim?.
Tlie Louisiana Muddle.
NEW ORLEANS, June9.-The Republican, in
its idime of to-morrow, will contain a procla?
mation by the Convention Registration Board,
asserting its authority as paramount to that of
the Commanding General. It charges that the
latter bas transcended bis prerogatives in pro?
mulgating the election of State, Parish and
Municipal officers, and in naming eaid officers,
and directing them to qualify and take posees
sion of their offices; in assuming power to
convene the General Assembly; in assuming
power of appointing persons to fill offices where
the persons selected cannot qualify, and by re?
fusing to send the election returns to this
Board; and concludes by notifying all per?
sons whom General Buchanan's order haB
declared elected, that the Constitution of
Louisiana, meaning the constitution adopt?
ed by the late convention, requiring them
to qualify and enter upon their offices as
set forth in the former proclamation; and
that any orders from any source directing
the contrary are illegal and not binding, and
that parties so attempting to take office will
lay themselves hable to action at law by the
parties ejected, as well as risk the certainty of
their removal from office.
General Grant's interferenc? with and sus?
pension of General Buchanan's action in the
election matter has led to this open defiance
and contempt of the authority of the Command?
ing General.

CORRESPONDENCE:.
CHARLESTON. June 3,1868.
Captain F. W.'Dawson:
SEK-The tor% temper and language which
characterize the article which appears in the
NEWS of this morning under the caption, 'Tn
the L;me of the Prophet-Brag,'' are deemed
I by me to be personally offensive. I beg to in?
quire, whether it was so intended.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
ALFRED RHETT.
CHARLESTON, June 3,1868.
Colonel Alfred Shat:
Sm-Mr. Harlebton has done me the honor
to deliver your note of this date, in which you
object to "the tone, temper and language
which characterize" an article which appeared
in THE DAILY NEWS of this morning.
To yourself, as an individual, there is no re- i
terence whatever in that article, and I may
add, that I have never regarded you as one of
the editors of the Mercury.
The article is simply the comment of THE
NEWS, upon the conree of the Mercury, whether
well or ill founded it is for impartial persons to
determine; and having neither impugned the
motives nor reflected upon the actions of indi?
viduals, I cannot acknowledge that the article
devolves upon the editors of THE NEWS any
personal responsibility.
7ery respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
F. W. DAWSON.
CHARLESTON, June 4,1868.
Captain F. W. Dawson:
Sra-Your note of the 3d of June, in reply to
mine of the same date, has been received.
- IQ regard to the position which you take in
relation to myself personally, viz: that you
never regarded me as one of the editors of
the Mercury, it is sufficient to say that my con?
nection with that paper, as one of its conduc?
tors, entitled me to make the iaquiry which I
addressed to you.
To thc question propounded to you yester?
day, I regret to say that lam unable to regard
your note as a reply, lt was not charged that
you had "innujued the motives nor reflected
upon the actions ot individu?is ;' out the oo
jection was expressly stated to be the tone,
temper and language which characterized the
article referred to, and my note contained a
simple inquiry, whether it was intended to be
offensive.
The editorial of THE NEWS was in reply to a
statement in the Mercury as to its condition,,
without any reference to THE NEWS or any
other paper, and it was in an answer to an arti?
cle such as this that you thought proper to in?
dulge in a strain of ridicule, sarcasm and gen?
eral disparagement of thc conduct of that
paper, lt is unnecessary to specify the partic?
ular passages in which ?xik appear?, as very
few could be selected in which it ie not
sonspicuously prominent, and therein consists
the offensiveness complained of.
Having thus directed your attention to the
particular point in question, I would respect?
fully add that I am under the necessity ol re?
seating the inquiry containeu in my note of 3d
nstant, whether the article was intended to be
)ffeHsive.
Your obedient servant, i

Colonel A'fred Shell:
Sm-I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, and J
regret to say that I cannot answer the ques- <
don, which you have thought proper to repeat,
more fully than I have done in my previous
aote.
My objection is one of principle, for I can?
not admit the right of yourself, or any indi- "j
ridual, to hold me personally accountable for
"the tone, temper and language*' of an article
of THE NEWS which is not personally defama
tory or abusive. To do so would, in my opin?
ion, ba to compromise that independence and
freedom of the press which I, in common with
my associates in tbe management of THE
NEWS, am determined to maintain.
As the tendency of your demanda cannot
well be misunderstood, it is proper for me to
say now that, being a member of the Catholic
Church, I cannot, under any circumstances, en?
gage in a duel.
Tey respectfully, your obedient servant,

[From the Mercury of Tuesday, June 2.]
Tbe Charleston Mercury.
Is is with gratification that we are enabled
to announce to our readers and many friends a
largely increased extension ot our subscription
lists this year. Without bavins lost subscrib?
ers anywhere (except in a very few cases ot
pecuniary reed), we have ste.idify advanced in
the number of our issue. We have now no
hesitation in saying that wc have tho^argest
number nf permanont annual and semi-annual
subscribers of unj journal in South Carolina.
Our subscription lift is ft solid, fixed, bona fie
circulation that can be relied on, aud does not
fluctuate or go back. In epite of the terrible
disasters of the past season amongst our
friends-the planters-they have still found
means to retain the Mercury amidst the wreck
of their fortunes and the pressing personal
wants that invest them. Their sturdy fidelity
in all issueB has ever been powerful in mould?
ing the actions and general thought of the
State. They havo ever adorned its history,
from the days of Rutledge and Marion to those
of Calhoun and Hampton. Their support of
the Mercury has always been warm, and is
now equally cordial.
Within the city, our subscription list has
steadily advanced* in numbers. To intelligent
business men, whether merchants, lawyers or
tradesmen, it is all important, not merely that
news should be given, but that an intelligent
analysis of the momentous events now daily
transpiring should be placed before them.
For by these not only are the general interests
of the country peculiarly and materially af?
fected, but their direct operation upon busi?
ness of every sort, in the present and in pros?
pect, is of tue last importance. It is a very
silly, contracted and shortsighted view of
business to suppose that it can be disconnected
from the great events that rock the foundation
upon which the country itself and all within it
stands, or can be unmoved amid the storms ot
commotion, violence and change, which
threaten every interest and effect every trans?
action.
The Charleston Mercury from the time of its
erection, has always under the influence of the
great minds of this State been pre-eminently
the practical daily expounder of the great ideas
which have governed and directed the course
of this State and of all the Southern States.
Prior to the war, in the hands of its present
editors, we believe that it maintained its influ?
ence, and did not lose its prestige. Its circu?
lation from Carolina to Wisconsin and Texas,
was wider and larger than that of any paper
south of Richmond and east of New Orleans.
Since the closff*?f the war, and the reopen?
ing of the Mercury, we have under all
issues leut our strenuous efforts to sustain
the State against false advisers at home and
reckless violence and illegal legislation from
abroad. Many months back, when the South
was rocking m doubt and groping in blind
darkness, with mu >.h of the press and many of
our public men urging the State to come for?
ward with her own voice and make legitimately
her own tho mongrel bastard of Northern fa?
naticism and negro miscegenation, we urged
and implored the people of the State to be
silent. When others advised them to stretch
out their own bands and to affix the Beal of
their own doom to eternal degradation and ir?
reclaimable ruin, we begged them, with evexy
argument that tune has sustained, to be still,
and not to touch the foul thing. Foremost, we
advised the very policy by which the negro con?
stitution of Alabama was defeated, and (hid
our advice been followed in this State) by which
the menagerie at the Club House might never
have been collected together.
We found public opinion in tho State and in
the South confused and despondent. We tried
to blaze out the path of duty and safety. We
found the constitution ignored throughout the
the land. We tried to hft it up and again give
it respect and vitality. Amidst the despair of
friends, and the scoffs of mercenary penny-a
liners, we steadily appealed to its grand au?
thority, until the North rose up gradually to
the solemn conviction that if the constitution
was lost all was lost. Steadily the Radicals fell
away. Steadily their Congress has been forced
into more and more lawlessness in the effort to
carry out their scheme of subversion and
Africanization. Steadily the policy of the
Mercury on all the great national issues
has been daily more and more clearly vin?
dicated, and its judgment sustained, until at
this day the whole Democratic and Conserva?
tive party of the North stands fixed aud reso?
lute upon the identical platform announced by
the Charleston Mercury firteeu mouths ago
And to-day the South is nearer to her redemp
rion than* at any period since the battle ot
Boon>?gville. Deeper and deeper with each effort
is sinking in the slough of lawless violence and
revolution the manv-headed monster of Black
Republicanism, whilst from the dust and clouds
of war is rising up, with more and more clear
ness and power, the intelligence of the North,
for the salvation of their endangered interests
and liberties. w
[From the Daijy Sews of Wednesday, June 3.1
In the Name of the Prophet-Br.ig !
The Mercury is very funny and does not
know it. Now it takes to task one of its modest
contemporaries for describing, with native
simplicity, the brilliancy of its fortunes or tho
fruits of its own "unaided enterprise,"-now
it hurls its paralytic thunderbolts at all who
dare to deny that the World is great and the
Mercury is its prophet. It fumes, and frets,
and ruffles its feathers in a very "dem d moist,
unpleasant" way, and when it has lectured its
rivals sufficiently upon the duty of being dumb
to their own glory, bursts out with a COCK-A
DOODLE-DOO which would put the Herald to
shame and bring a sigh of envy to the lips
of the virtuous Forney. Tho Mercury crows
lustily, and its brag is unlimited. It brags of
the fact that it has lost no subscribers except
those who were hard up, and it might be a very
good thing for our ?ocular neighbor if it would
strike from its roils all its subscribers who
cannot pay. It brags that the Mercury has
been retained amidst the wrsck of fallen for?
tunes, and leads one to the inference that ruin
and the Mercury are in some sort synonymous,
l: brags of the" Ruth dges and Hamptons, and
throws up its hat for thc idol of their heart
the Mercury. It brags of its city subscription,
and suggests that politics is busme- i . i is own
business is politics. It brags wit., i ^liable
drollery of the great minds which have influ?
enced it, and boasts with queer diffidence that
in the hands of its present editors it maintain?
ed its influence and did not lose its prestige.
It launches out into a recapitulation of its own
doughty achievements, and hints that if thc
State hath hearkened to its counsel thc Club
House Convention would never have been held.
It alludes to its appeals to the constitution,
and finally-with a great flipping of wings
crows that the policy of the Mercury has been
adopted bv the whole country, and that the
whole of the United States are, iii fact, no?
thing more thau the tin kettle which clatters
at thc heels of the Mercury, as it runs up and
down every lane and alley of the great "Has
been."
All this is a good joke, but we submit to our
contemporary that this warm weather is hardly
a flt time to kill one with laughter. Of course,
it is admitted that the Mercury is a very decent
average newspaper, but when it leaps at one
bound into the heavens of biggest circulation,
it must expect to be taken at its word and chal?
lenged to thc proof.
T?ie Mercury says : "We have now no
hesitation in saying that wo have tho larg?
est uumber of permanent annual and semi?
annual subscribers of any journal in South
Carolina." This is very "fogey. What does
it mean ? Does it mean that the Mercury has
a larger daily circulation than any other paper
in South Caroliua? If so, il had batter not try
to count chips with THE CHABLESTON DAIL?
NEWS. Again : what does it mean by a bona
(ide circulation ? THE NEWS understands a
oona fide circulation to be-THE NU3IBER OF

ISIPOBTANT ABBES rs.-Three white men, liv?
ing not far from Whitaker's turnout on the Wil?

rested on suspicion of having caused the rad
road accident near that point a few ni?hts
since, aud, after uudergoiug an examination
before the military, have been committed to
await trial for the offence, the data obtained
being sufficient to justify this latter course.
The men arrested are T. K. Kidder, his father
in-law and brother-in-law. The former is a
discharged section master, and has entertained
afirudge against Conductor James Borden,
whoso life he has several times threatened!
Captain Borden should have brought the train
dowu on that night, but made an exchange at
Weldon with Captain Geo. Morrison. Thf so
facts, coupled with the circumstances that the
rail had been evidently moved byan expert,
caused suspicion to fall on Kidder, who was,
consequently, arrested together with tho other
two men, who were also suspected of being at
least accessories beioro tho fact. The evi?
dence afterwards collected by tho military
seemed sufficient to warrant their committal lor

[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. 1
COLUMBIA, June 8.-Whatever may be the
upshot of the Convention that will meet here
this evening, there is no question that the pur?
pose of the delegates ii to reconcile conflicting
opinions, and as far as is compatible with a
sense of duty, to smooth down whatever asperi?
ties may have arisen from the action of the
April Democratic Convention, in committing
twenty-four of the districts of the State to the
principle of qualified negro suffrage.
The politicians of Columbia have been ap?
prehensive of much opposition-of that direct,
incisive, demoralizing antagonism which, when
pertinaciously exercised by shrewd, influential
men, is generally productive of damaging re?
sults; but the frequent personal interviews and
interchanges of thought that have taken placo
since our arrival, seem to satisfy tho Columbi
ans that the danger they snuffed in the breeze
is still afar off.
The chief point of difference appeare to be as
to the expediency of saying anything about ne?
gro suffrage. Thus far it has been urged as a
principle, it has been made a bobby ; but I
think it will appear after mature deliberation
that the former committee will concede the
propriety of leaving the opinion of every rep?
resentative of the State in the Kew York Con?
tention unfettered by any resolution or plat?
form that may have been adopted. Even at
;his early hour-? o'clock P. M.-a member of
.hat Executive Committee has shown me a se?
?es of resolutions that have received the con?
currence of others of its members, and which
>mphatically express the views I have heard ut
ered all day. They signify plainly that the
rreat heart of the State beats with but one
JU!se, and that if there bas been any yielding
)f principle, it was only to meet a temporary
tontingency, and was not intended to bind the
?tate to a denned line of political action. With
inch a concession it is evident that the Co?
ombia committee is fully prepared to co-ope
ate with the Edgefield and Charleston move
neut, and to elect only such delegates as will
epresent the true feeling of South Carolina,
intrammelled by any of the clap-trap by which
rotes are caught,
ll P. M.-The cars this evening brought
?el ega tes from nine districts; aud they repre?
sent, as far as they go, the best intelligence of

!urio8ity8howed itself on tip-toe, to know what
ras going to be done.
The Convention assembled in the chapel-hall
if Nickersons Hotel at 8 P. M., and was called
o order by Col. John E. Carew, of Charleston, on
chose motion tho venerable Dr. Thomas Smith,
if Darlington, was chosen Chairman pro lem,
nd Messrs. Sparniok and A. A. Gilbert ap
lointed Secretar::-*.
On taking the chair Dr. Smith after express
ng thanks, said that thc object of the Con
ention was to appoint delegates to the Demo^
ratic Convention which would assemble on
he 4th of July next, and secondly to aid in the
fork of restoring harmony between the two
ections of the couutry, so recently at war.
leneral Gary, of Edgefield, moved that a com
nit tee of five be appointed to collect thc cre
.entials of th 3 delegates.
Mr. W. J. Gayer, of Charleston, moved, t a
n amendment, that the members be requesl
d to come forward and sign the roll.
Mr. A. C. Spam, of Darlington, suggested
hat the ''districts'* of South Carolina-he did
ot believe in the term county-the "districts,'
?od bless them-(applause)-be called in their
lphabetical order, and as the names of dele
ates were given, they should be recorded by

action. We are invited to assist in this Con

State policy, therefore, it is important that we
moola first become a State. It will then be
:ime enough to commit ourselves to the
'banges that may be demanded by the circum
jtances of the hour.
The other cardinal point is that there mast
ie no division in South Carolina. [Applause.]
rho Democracy of South Carolina must be a
mit. Whatever individuals may desire, what?

FKOM WASHINGTON.
IMISSION OF SOU THERN 8TA ILS-DEBATE ON
THE ADMISSION OF ALABAMA-IHE ARKANSAS
BILL-THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS OF CON?
GRESS A GOD-SEND TO THE DEMOCRACY-EE
CONSTBUCTION OF THE UNIOS UNDER CONSTITU?
TIONAL PRINCIPLES.
Tho Washington correspondent of the Balti
ore> Gazette writes under date of tho 7th inst. :
It was thought a few days ago, by some Dein
rala in Congress, that the apparent muddie
the Senate in respect to the admission ot | j
e Southern States, under the atrocious coe- '
ittitions adopted by the carpet-baggers and i ?
eir negro dapos, might lead in some way a: I '
ist to postponement until after the election. I '
lis idea was founded upon the equally lalla- ? 1
DUS hypothesis) that a majority'of the electo
I vote's of those States, even as at present j
ganized, might, in the opinion of leading ? J
idicals, be cast for the Democratic candidates \ 1
November. These notions were ail given to | J
e winds oh Saturday.
There had been exhibited a manifest dispo- .
ion, for some cauje or other, to defer the j J
osent admission of Alabama by the House of
jprcsentatives. That State Vas accordingly 1
utted in the Omnibus bill. The amendment 1
Wilson to iuclude it has given risc to the de- 1
te in which the Senato is now engaged, and 1
a met the strenuous opposition of three or
ur Radicals of the straightest sect, including
award, of Michigan, and Cockling, of N.w
irk. It was thought, with some show of rea- .
0, that inasmuch as these gentlemen, one ? (
d al!, affirmed that suth an act would be a
cor and fradulent breech ol faith on the part
Congress, they would record their votes
auist it in whatever shapei: might be present
. This consideration had weight, *even with
me of the moro verdant Republican senators
einselvoa. Accordingly, Mr. Frehnghuyseu
posed the amendment on the grouad that the
?ole bill, if vetoed, as it assuredly would be,
gbt eventually be defeated. In this view
jrton, of Indiana, concurred on Friday. But
tho day following, having "counted "noses,;
unceremoniously rose in his place " to Bay
had become convinced that ho was mistaken
aterday in concluding that the opposition to
o admission ot Alabama waa SO strong as to
peril this bill by including Alabama in it.
;had, therefore, changed h;s mind and would
te for tho amendment."
Simultaneously with these proceedings Mr.
nmbull rose in bis place to announce that
B " committee of conference " on the Ar
nsas bili had agreed to ie:ommend that
B Senate recede from its amendments and
it the bill bo passed as it came from tho
JUBC. In that shape it forever prohibits ibo
opie of tue State from altering their L'on
tutio'i so as to deprive a single negro from
B right of suffrage.
rhe StateB named in thc lil] undoubtedly
II therefore bc admitted the K^'Stnt session",
far aa the unconstitutional action of this
ngress will finally avail, and ii is regarded
re as a God-send to the Demotracv, viewed
ly in a paity sense. For it is looted upon as
cul i arly fortunate that an issue shall havo
enjoined at this particular juncture, which
tue one hand drives thc insincere late re
iit8 to quasi..?niisci vatisiri back into the I F
lits of thjjtr flwlwve, and on the ether it is j
sught^pt ol the greatest c;nsequencc that
rs 'fiemscives eo opportun !..' warn eei- ,
ff^tud-bo leadeis of the Democracy of|
tue ratter impracticaDinty or compueanng me
party in any ?cheme of compromise of
principie op?n grounds of expediency. It
has frequently been hinted that it was
feared by many Democrats in Congress
that by some hocus pocus the hangers upon
the verge of both parties would contrive some
cheating plan which would seem, i rly divest
the monstrous outrages committed against
j the Southern people of their more glar?
ingly flagrant features, at the same time re
taming this vital enormity. It has long since
been known that certain stock jobbers, profess?
ing to he life-long Democrats, and occupying
conspicuous public 'positions, were not unwill?
ing to dilute, if not sacrifice the essential prin?
ciples of the party, to make assurance doubly
sure ol the success of men willing, and con?
sistently able, to secure others of minor impor?
tance. To all such plans the recent and fur?
ther action of Congress must forever put an
end. The Democracy here, and (so far as the
correspondence of public men here indicate the
general feeling) everywhere, will demand a res?
toration of the Inion upon strictly constitu?
tional principles, and consequently an utter
sweeping from the statute hook of every ves?
tige of the legislation of Congress embraced in
au the acts and doings of every kind compris?
ing the infamous "reconstruction''* system.
Unless the opinions of the representatives of
the party now congregated in Washington are
greatly at fault, the platform to be adopted ou
ie 4th proximo will not only insist upon this,
but upon a full recognition of those inherent
rights of the States which were never denied
until the late unfortunate war placed it in the
power of conspirators to dispute them, and a
denial of which under no other circumstances
would have been for an instant tolerated.
GENERAL THOMAS.
Whose fingers were used to pull the chesnuts
out of the fire ? This is a question in which
General Lorenzo Thomas is interested, and
one which he may soon be able to answer. The
manner in which he was ordered first to re?
sume his duties at Adjutant-General of the
army, and then to act as Secretary of War ad
interim, ie already well known to the whole
country. General Thomas was the agency
through which the Stanton imbroglio was
eventually brought te a termination, and as
such he was assailed by the impeachers in the
most scurrillous manner. He was den ranced
for everything that waa wicked, and was styled
the co-conspirator with President Johnson.
The President wins, impeachment ie de?
feated, and Stanton is forced to "re?
linquish the Department." But what be?
comes of "old ad interim," as the
Bads call him? Does he now assume
actively tho duties of Secretary of War ?
Oh, no ! He was advised and directed
not to take possession of the department after
Mr. Stanton left, although ordered so to do
while Stanton was there. Does he resume his
duties as Adjutant-General of the army? Oh,
no ! General Schofield tells him he had better
wait a lew days lest people say he nae too anx?
ious to get back into office. You can wait,
General, but you will not assume the duties of j
Adjutant-General. Grant does not want you
there, since you aided in ousting Stanton, and
you will be sent on another inspecting tour to
the South, during which you will have time to
solve the interesting question propounded
above. Assistant Adjutant-General Townsend
will be assigned to duty as Adjutant-General of
the army, and General*Thomas will be-eecom
modated with another roving commission. His
motto isto obey orders without complaint, but
eome of his friends will complain of such treat?
ment to an officer who has stood firmly by the
President.
THE CHINESE IN WASHINGTON.
The House of Representatives has resolved
to give a public official reception to the Chi?
nese Embassy, on Tuesday morning, at ll
o'clock, in the" hall of the House. A copy of ]
the resolution was transmitted to Minister
Burlingame yesterday, and the invitation for
Tuesday wa? accepted. As there is thc great?
est curiosity to see these CelestiaL:,.|thp .ash to
thc capitol "is expected to be very gieni. The
servants of the embassy travel about the
streets at will, but the dignitaries keep them?
selves secluded as much as possible from the
public gaze. Since their presentation to the
President thc officials of tho embassy have
made calls on the Cabinet officers, foreign
ministers, on Mr. Wade, Chief Justice Chase,
General Grant, Senator Sumner and Mr. Col
fp.r, and last evening they were at a brilliant
i ?"eption at Mr. Seward's house, where many
ladies and officials and diplomats were pres?
ent. Tue house and grounds were illuminated,
two instrumental bands were in attendance,
and Miss Richings and other members ot her
company gave a parlor en'ertainmenfc. To?
morrow the strangers will go to Mount Ver?
non, and on Tuesday attend a state dinner to
be given by the President in their honor.
Democratic Victory in Oconee.
The Democratic ticket for county officers has
been elected by ajnajority of about three hun?
dred and fifty votes. The officers elect are as
follows: Clerk, Jessie W. Stribhng ; Probate
Judge, Richard Lewis ; Sheriff, James H. Rob?
ins; School Commissioner, R. S. Porcher;
Coroner, S. B. Mauldin ; County Commission?
ers, A. Loy, W. R. Davis and James Zachary.
Our correspondent says :
Democratic Clubs are still being formed here,
and I think Oconee County can say she has
more clubs than any other county in the State.
A club Has been formed here for the colored
people. Wallace Hicks, their president, made
Borne very suitable remarks at their first meet?
ing and "gave them some very sound advi?e.
It would have done some of the fe a mic good to
have been present. They are leaving the
Union League colors and joining the Demo?
cratic ranks. They say those are their only | ?
true Iriends, and what ia good for the white
mau is good for them.
Last week another league meeting tookplace.
One of the officers boupht a galion of whiskey
co treat on. Some of the colored Democratic
folks, being in town, got wind o? it, went up
ind joined them, but only as long as the whis?
key las? ed-when that was gone they were gone
Loo. Cue p ?or ieiiow who had left his bag of
:oru dows stairs to get his Irink, found it gone,
.u rather found it not at all, when he came
lowu. Jukes are played un the Union League
ill '.he :.ine.
