V?T.TTTYTE VT -TOMBER 844] CHARLESTON, S. C., SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1868. [EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK THE HEWS FOR THE CAMPAIGN GREAT INDTTCEMENTS TO CLUBS The importance ol'the great political con? test upon which we have DOW fairly entered renders the dissemination among the people of sound political views and accurate and ear? ly information of the progress and incidents of the canvass, a matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who has any stake in the welfare of these Southern States, should give an active, personal and un flaggwg support to the candidates of the National Democracy-SSEHODB and BLAIB. A triumph of the Radicals will result in the utter desolation and ruin of the South, and tiie placing of an ignorant and brutal race in all positions and places of honor and trust, to the exclusion of the white raoe. The govern? ment must be wrested from the thieves and plunderers who now have control of it, and power placed in the bands of a party pledged to give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government for white men, and not for negroes. It ls only necessary that the peo? ple" should he thoroughly informed to accom pUah this, and THE NEWS will be an admirable means of diffusing thia information. In order to place the paper within the reach of a IL we haye adopted a scale of reduced rates of sub? scription for the four months covering the Presidential canvass, and offer besides peculiar inducsments for the formation of ciaba. We ar? determined that TBS NEWS shall be the cheapest and best newspaper in the South. Its blows will fall thickly, steadily and rapidly; and if the friends of law, order and the Con? stitution do their duty by extending its circu? lation, its labors can be made powerfully effec? tive for good. We appeal, then, to oar readers to examine om* remarkably low terms, and go j to work with a will to get np large dabs for THE CEABXLESTON NEWS.

TON CITY CHARTER-THE BIGHT OF WAY, AO. COLUHBIA, August 20.-In the Senate, Ran? dolph offered a resolution instructing the Com? mittee on the Military to ascertain the number of stands of arms, batteries and equipments iir the possession of the State. Corbin introduced a joint resolution apsoin t ing a committee to inquire into (ho assets of the Bank of the State, and report at tbe next session whether the State is'liable for its debts, whether said debts were created in aid of the rebellion or are tainted with rebellion, with power to examine booka and persons, and re? port a pku for winding np its affairs; which was referred to the Committee on Finance. The following acts were ratified : For ^regu? lating appeals on writs of error to the Supreme Court ; a bdl providing a record for certificates of sale of lands hythe Commission ere of Beau? fort ; a bill making an appropriation for the expenses of tbe Legislature, and to meet de? ficiencies in 1867. Favorable reports were made on the organ? ization of several colored fire companies. The election of Circuit Judges was postpon? ed till the Circuit Court bill becomes a law: the bill was passed this morning, and now awaits the signature of tbe Governor. The bill to close the operations of the Bank of the State was discussed during the greater part of the day, and was strongly opposed by Corbin. An amendment was adopted giving the privilege of fonding to all bill holders, whether registered or not. Section the third was stricken oat, and the bill was passed. In the Boase, Whipper introduced a bill es? tablishing county treasurers, which received ita first reading. A bill was passed declaring thc manner in whiob the right of way may be secured in the construction of railroads, which also passed the Senate. Tbe practical effect will be lo set? tle the past dificolty between the Colombia and Hamborg and the Somh Carolina Bail roads. The bill authorizing a State loan to pay the interest on the State debt was passed with? out amendment. The bill to amend the charter of the City of Charleston was passed by both Houses. The amendments were slight. Tho bill to close the operations of the Bank of the State was recommitted. A strong ef? fort was made to kill it. The Radicals are afraid of it. FURTHER BY MAIL. HOW THE MIXED POLICE MEASURE WAS VTT.v.H'n THE EDUCATIONAL BOHEME-MAXING HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES-THE WAY LS WHICH ?HTT.TJi A nv. HUSHED THROUGH-AN EARLY AD? JOURNMENT TALKED OF, Aa [nos ons OWN szposrxa] COLUMBIA, Aagast 19.-The business of the day may be briefly summed up. Both bodies assembled at twelve M. The Senate did noth? ing of general interest except to postpone un? til the next session tbe bill providing for the relief of tbe Charleston and Savannah Rail? road, and pass a few resolutions of a purely personal and local character. In the House, committees reported on the following subjects : The preservation of the records of Pickens and Oconoe Counties;" the repeal of the charter of the Town of Hamborg; a bill to aotborize a State loan; a bill to pro? vide for the redemption of the bills receivable; a bill to license certain parties to act as pilots, and provide the terms on which they shall hereafter act; and a bill regulating the election of Presidential electors. The bill preventing perBons doing business under license from making any discrimination on account of race or color was read a third time and sent to the Senate. Whipper intro? duced a bill establishing a health officer. The position will probably be filled by Dr. Robert Lebby. Rev. Barrell James (colored,) of Sumter, of? fered a concurrent'resolution, that "hereafter all incorporated towns and villages in making an appointment of a police force, shall make the appointment without distinction to race or color." Whipper objected to it Shrews? bury moved that it be laid on the table. C. D. Hayn o (all colored,) aeconded the motion, and the measure was killed. Tbe bill to provide for the temporary organi? zation of the Educational Department, waa taken up. It secures to the Superintendent of Education $2500 per annum, and cost of trans portation when travelling ; directs thefjobool Commissioners of each county to make an enumeration of all the children in the State, between five and eighteen years of age ; and requires a report of the number of schools of every class, public and private, and all informa? tion connected therewith. These thirty-one School Commissioners are to receive $4 per day, with the privilege of employing one or more assistants with an extra outlay of $2 50 per day. No limit is fixed to their labor. Whether a man works a week or a month, or neither, his own certificate to the fact unlocks the treasury, to whatever amount he may choose to name. The debate on this question elicited the pe? culiar desire which exists to provide as many mon as practicable with paying berths bet?re the ides of November. The machinery of this department will be admirably adapted to the ends in view, especially if the following addi? tional section, offered as an amendment by Bev. B. F. Jackson, should be adopted: "All institutions of learning supported wholly or in part by funds famished by tbe State, are here? by tamed over to the supervision of the Super? intendent of Education; and alt the public schools Li the several counties, supported as above specified, are hereby placed under the direct supervision of the School Commission? ers of the several counties," Whipper said he thought this a dangerous section, and hoped it would be recommitted with instructions. Even the Radicals were doubtful of rushing so hastily into extremes, and tbe bill, with amendment proposed, was referred to the Committee on Education. That very remarkable measure-a bill to close the operations of the Bank of the State of South Carolina-waa now pat upon its second reading, and, in less than five min?tes from the reading of the title, it became, as far as the House was concerned, a law. The way in which these bills are managed is very cari?os. Their first reading is simply by the title. The manuscript is now furnished to the printer, that is, provided it bas received the approval of a committee, and, io doe time, the bill is sent back in print. The sergeant-at-anns takes charge of it, and when the bill is called np for action he distributes tbe same among the members. It frequently happens that, be? fore the bills are thus distributed, one, two or three sections have passed their second read? ing and are beyond the reach of the House, without a reconsideration. No time is permit? ed for examination into the merits of these measures, and' thus, with indiscreet haste, grave changes are made in the law of the land-the Legislature being made the mere oat's paw of the designing few who remain in the back ground ont of sight and essay to con? trol these erratic movements. The bill to organize Circuit Courts received its third reading, and was ordered to be sent to the Senate. A bill to redeem the bills receivable was passed to a third reading. The bill is pub? lished in another column. In the Senate Parson Cain endeavored to se? cure the passage of a bill incorporating the Lougsh iremen'8 Protective Union. Air. Cor? bin inquired of Cain what the object of the bill was, bat the latter pretended not to be able to state in detail. Wheo the subsequent discus? sion brought oat the fact that these longshore? men were the same crowd who had been the cause of so much trouble, and (as one of the senator's said) been pat down with General Ganny's bayonets, Cain confessed that they had been meeting in his church for six mouths or more, and he could vouch for their peaceful intentions. Cain's demagoguism did not serve his purpose, however, on the present occasion, and the bill was postponed for ten days. There is a disposition on the part of scmo of the members to finish the most important work to be done and go home within two or three weeks. This event may be hastened by the in? ability of members to use their bills receivable to present advantage. There seems to be a determination among some of the citizens not to recognize any money of the State signed by the officers of the present government. Should this prove true, the brokers will do a hand? some business, and the members will find themselves in an unpleasant financial predica? ment. PERSONNE. Items of State Rews. -Tbe residence of Mr* Richard 8. Webb, in the Fork of Black Biver, with all its contents, save a few minor articles, was completely de? stroyed by fire on Thursday night last. Wheo the family awoke, the building was in flames, and there was no time to rescue anything from their consuming grasp. Cause of the fire un? known. -The Marion Star says : "An unsuccessful attempt was made last Saturday night to burn the residence of E. J. Moody, Esq. Au old house partially toro down, within eight or ten feet of bia dining room, was set on fire about three o'clock at night, and after the fire was discovered, it was only by the manly exertions of the freedmen on the premises that the resi? dence was saved. The storeroom near by took fire, and before tho flames could be extin? guished tbe roof was consumed." -One by one the carpet-baggers are coming to grief. The Georgetown Times, of this week, says: "Wm. L. Webb, of Rocky Hill, Connec? ticut, a brother of Henry W. Webb, who figured as a member of the Charleston Neuro Conven? tion, and is now a member of the Legislature, so-called, from this district, was arrested yes? terday by Sheriff Carr for bigamy, on a com? plaint made by bis wife in Connecticut. It ap? pears that Webb was married to a worthy wo? man in Connecticut in January, 1855; that for? getful of that important fact, he contracted in April last a marna c o with a clever yoong lady of this district, and has since been living with ber as his wife, well knowing at the time of his second marriage that his first wife was alive. Mr. Webb, the. accused, is a carpet? bagger, who came to these parts soon after the closu of the war to seek his fortune. He was made a registrar of voters, and acted in that capacity as long as there was anything to do in that line. By proclaiming himself tbe friend of the colored man, he was by them nominated and elected one of the three commissioners for this district. What effect this prosecution will have on the discharge of the responsible duties of his office, is left to tho future to disclose. In default of sufficient bail he now occupies apart? ments in the Georgetown jail." THE STEAM PLOUGH.-This machine, as con? structed by the English inventor, Fawkes, was recently the s abject of some important experi? ments at the Agricultural Society's exhibition at Leicestershire, England. Thc steam plough ia described as follows : A locomotive enirine, with wheel tires twonty inches wide, stands at one side of the field. At the opposite side stands a moveable anchor which carries a hor? izontal windlass wheel, four feet in diameter. A similar wheel, with an arrangement for clasping a wire rope stands horizontally under the boiler of the engine. A steel wire rope passes around these two wheels, and for a clasp to its two ends it has a doable set of gang ploughs or cultivator teeth, as the case may be. One set of ploughs tarns a farrow to the right ead the other to the left. Moving ia one di? rection, one set of ploughs is ia work and the other is elevated above the ground. Io re? turning in the other direction their positions are reversed. At the trial in England the plough cut the sod ap to the depth of nine inohes, and thoroughly scattered the soil at the rate of one acre per hour. The price of the entire apparatus is $3540 in gold, requires the assistance of three men and two boys,and takes a bite into the surface of the ground for? ty inches wide. The Election of Electors. A bill to provide for the election of electora of President and Vice-Pr?sident of the United States and to tlx the time for the election ot members of Congress is before the House of Repr?sentatives. The general provisions are : 1. The election of electors shall be by the people. All persons, qualified voters under the State Cons tito Lion, shall be entitled to vote. 2.

ING. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes: A good deal of uneasiness has been observed among the chief engineers of the Radical party within the past three or four days. This un? easiness is manifested in certain bursts of in? dignation at what they denounce as the grose mismanagement of affairs in the party by cer? tain individu?is who are never named, but only mysteriously hinted at. They have been heard to remark that if the Republican ticket encoun? ters defeat in the coming Presidential contest, certain leading men m both Houses of Con? gress will have a heavy score to settle with the party. The principal cause of their, anxiety at the present time bas transpired within the last few days. Vague rumors have been passing around that Grant is not only lukewarm in the cause, but that be is actually on the stool of repentance for having been so blind as to en? tangle himself with the fortunes of a sinking party, the failure of which sweeps him frum thu high position which be bas hitherto held m the hearts of the whole people, and consigns bim to some mouldy corner in the cavern of obscurity. Statements of Grant s apathy in regard to the great political issue and of his having dis? cussed the effect his withdrawal from the Re? publican nomination would have upon the for? tunes of the party, or of bis having expressed a desire to withdraw, have found their way to the public; but they have invariably aroused a storm of indignant denial, and brought forth a multitude ot irate paragraphs in tue Radical journals deprecating the growing mendacity exhibited by the public press. In this manner such statements bave been whitewashed over and the courage of the unitiated faithful has been sustained. Bat where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. The truth which forms the groundwork of these rumors has been gradu? ally leaking out, it is said, and will soon come upon tho country with snch a volume of con? firmatory evidence that it will defy every effort to suppress it. I do not vouch for the truth of these statements, bat there are those now in this city who pretend to know that two or three confidential consultations have been held at Galena, 111., in which Grant and several of the prominent leaders of the Republican party par? ticipated. What mysterious influence operated to send these learned doctors of Radicalism into Illinois after the General is not known; bat it is supposed that the before-mentioned re? ports about Grant's withdrawal had much to do with it. The result of these pow-wows, how? ever, is that all the stones m regard to said withdrawal of General Grant from the Presi? dential contest are denied by authority. Grant will not withdraw. He Ands that he cannot do it. He may wish to' fly the course, bat he can? not. But an understanding was arrived at dar? ing these interviews on another important point, which may prove interesting to the country-Grant will run, bat if he is elected Colfax will be President. It cannot be definitely ascertained what rea? sons General Grant has for wishing that the Chicago Convention had met on the other side of the river Styx before they dragged him into the arena as a scapegoat to bear apon bis shoulders the sins of the Radical party. Per? haps he distrusts his ability to guide the ship of State through the whirlpools and breakers of party strife; perhaps he vieWJ the future with prophetic vision, and can descry no visi? ble signs of a Republican victory. Whatever may be his reasons they are to him sufficient to nullify all his ambitions longings for Execu? tive authority. Hence his willingness to let the Presidential mantle fall opon tne ever ready shoulders of the smiling Mr. Colfax, by an early reaignation of his office. Then, having raked hu chestnuts out of the dre, like poor puss, he will be permitted to nurse his burns in peace and tranquillity. NOMINATIONS NOT ACTED ON BX THE BERATE - PASTIS AN LEGISLATION. On Thursday last the President received from the Secretary of the Senate the whole budget of nominations which were not acted upon by the Senate up to the day of adjourn? ment. This proceeding on the part of the Secretary is in accordance with a role recently adopted by tho Senate, providing that if that body shall adjourn or take a recebs for a longer time than thirty days all nominations not final? ly disposed of ebal! be returned to the Presi? dent, and shall not be acted upon by the Sen? ate at its next session unless renominated by the President. By the working of this conve? nient senatorial role every one of these nomi? nations, eighty-four in all, is virtually rejected. Daring the session the Senate succeeded in wrecking the hopes of one hundred and twen? ty-eight other applicants for civil offices, mak? ing the grand total of rejections foot np to two hundred and t iv elvo, or an average of over one rejection per day. The failure of the Sen? ate to act promptly upon nominations has ma? terially retarded the execution of the govern? ment business in many parts of the country, and has added much to the embarrassments of the President in providing for the collection of the public revenues, and of guarding the national interests abroad. THE EPISCOPAL GENERAL CONVENTION.-The Episcopalian and several other of the organs of its church are beginning to speculate as to the course of their approaching General Con? vention. Three courses, it says, are open ti that triennial gathering of the representatives of the entire denomination, viz : "Either to decide positively against the repeal of the dis ?tuted and obnoxious Tying canon, and ref ase o revise the Liturgy and expurgate or explain the expressions which teach baptismal regen? eration and its related doctrines, or to decide in favor of the petitions of the Low Church? men, and do both ; or ignore the whole matter, decide nothing, and go on as before. It says, however, that either of the former courses will be unsatisfactory to the party thus treated, and the last course will ne unsatisfactory to all." The Episcopalian is constrained not to trust in the convention, bat in God alone. It is known that petitions are m circulation, and others are promised at the eleventh hour, for the action of the General Convention in regard to certain matters in dispute. The Church? man of Connecticut thinks all difficulties will be settled harmoniously, bat the Episcopalian says there are vitally important differences among the teachers and members in regard lo the faith ; and adds : "There can he no peace, no coalition. There may be, and is, toleration. That is no more than all have bad to the ex? tent of license. But the parties in our church holding radically different views of the doc? trines of the Gospel, of the Sacrament and of the ministry cannot cease to express that dif? ference, diverge more and more widely, and approach their opposite to goals." 9W ESTATE NOTICE.-ALL PERSONS having an; rlnimn against tho Batate of BLN JAM IN DROSS, deceased, will present them to the under? signed for payment, properly attested, and those in? debted to said estate will make payment to the same.

Every day, every hour, every moment, the fleah, the cartilage, bone and muscle of the frame are wasting away, and being impercepti? bly replaced by new material. Health depends upon the nature of that material, and whether it shah be pure or diseased, full of vitality and elasticity, or feeble and flaccid, depends mainly upon the action of the stomach, In warm weather the waste of the system ls very rapid, and if it is not as rapidly re? paired by the great sustaining organ, the cons?? quence is deb'lity, emaciation and decay. It is, therefore, of paramount Importance that the stom? ach be kept in a vigorous condition at this trying sea? son, and the safest, surest and best tonic that can be employed for that purpose is HOSTET TEE'S BITTERS. This incomparable vegetable stomachic gives unwonted energy to the digestive powers, pro? motes the conversion of the food into healthiul blood (which is, ao to sp eat, the raw material of all the solid portions or the body), sud thereby puts the system in the best possible state of defence against epidemic and other diseases. The strong require it to keep up their strength; the weak, to reinvigorate them. It consists of the purest of all diffusive stimu? lants, charged with the juices and extracts of the most genial roots and herbs, and ls a permanent re? storative-not a mere temporary excitant. It acts simultaneously upon the stomach, the bowels and the liver, and ia the best known remedy for dyspep? sia, biliousness, costiveness and general debility. August 15 o /HMM* lotifCS.
