THE SUITS OF THE GOVERNMENT AGAINST FRA? SES, TRENHOLM * CO.-HOW THE MATTES STANDS-BECOS8TBUCTION COMMITTEE-HAY TTEN BLOCKADE-SUPREME COURT. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DAILY NEWS.] WASHINGTON, December 21.- It is staled that the Government will proceed to attach the property of Fraser, Trenholm & Co. oh a judg? ment for $500,000, and that the proceed, inga will commence at the opening of the new year. The statement heretofore made to the effect that large sums were due the late Confederate Government by French and English firms, is now behoved to have been a mere pretence. The Confederacy had drawn its last dollar in money, and about all that could be found to which the United States Government could lay daim, was such property as had not been shipped, or which being ship? ped had not been delivered prior to the surren? der, and was ordered back by thc parties who had shipped it. Much of that property had had its marks removed to prevent indentification, though some of it has since been discovered by reason of disputes ai ?sing among the parties concerned. In the snits bf j the United States vs. Fraser, Trenholm & Co., it is claimed that there was an agreement that judgment should be confessed for a reasonable amount by the defendants, and it is said that it is in consequence of their failure to do this that the government has determined to seek either in Charleston or in England a judgment for $500,000. [PRESS.] WASHINGTON, December 21.-The dispatch steamer Tallapoosa bas left for AspinwalL The Reconstruction Committee had the Georgia and Mississippi cases up to-day, but without action adjourned to January 5. Mr. Seward, in answering a letter from New York merchants, says that the government will not protect citizens trading with block? aded Hay tieri ports. The Supreme Court has decided that awards made by the Secretary of War under a joint resolution, become null and void when the res? olution is repealed. The Court has adjourned to January 24, when original actions between States and actions arising under the constitu? tion will be heard. The Republican, of this morning, says that' the Senate Judiciary Committee has decided that thare is a necessity for Congressional action in reference to Georgia, and will report back Senator Edmonds' bill with amendments. CONGRESSIONAL. EXTRADITION PBISONERfi-REVENUE FRAUDS SOUTHERN SENATORS ALLOWED A SHARE OF PAC1FIS RAILROAD PAP-MOBS TAMPERING WITH THE SUPREME COURT. WASHINGTON, December 21_IN THE SENATE, Trumbull iotroduced a bill, which is approved by Seward, providing for the safety of extra? dition prisoners.

Baer, correspond? ent of THE NEWS. Dr. Fuer is on a visit of pleasure to Greenville, and we hope he will be pleased with the place. The sterling journal which he represents is a power, and is daily increasing in influence and usefulness. aa {Greenville ?nterprise. Thc Money Interests of tne State. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The act "to authorize a State loan to pay in? terest* on tho public debt," passed by the Leg? islature on the 26lh of August last, author? izes the Governor, Attorney-General and Treasurer to appoint and cornmission "some responeiblo bank or banker in the city of New York to act as financial agent of thc State " Under that act Mr. H. H. Kempton has been appointed. Thc loan to be made is foi one million dollars. Mr. Kempton will have charg of State bonds to that amount to bring on th markot, and receive the money therefor. Wh the writer desires to know is if the Stato has been sufficiently guaranteed. Is Mr. Kempt a "responsible banker t" Has he given a bond and for what amount? And who aro the sureties on that bond ? The writer asks these questions, not from any opposition to Mr Kempton, whom ho does not know, and not from any opposition to tho State governmcn towards which ho is most favorably inclined but he docs it solely that the public may know if tho bends of the State, to thc amount of o JO million dollars, aro not being placed in irre sponsible hands. TAX-PAYER.. THE BANK OE TUE STATE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The Legislature having passed an a't to close thc operations of tho Bank of thc State and authorize tho funding of all of the bills issued prior to the first of January, 1861, sevc ral questions are thereby suggested which are lespeclfully submitted to your readers. When were the bilis in circulation issued? If issued after tho commencement of thc war, or loaned to the Confederate Government (which is a fact known and recognized by both Democrats and Republicans), is the money thus issued or loaned to be paid by the State of South Carolina? The fact being indisputable that at 1 asi six hundred thousand dollars, and perhaps more were loaned by the Bank of tho Stato to thc Confederate Government after the first day of January, 1861, is it intended by the act of the Legislature to redeem these bills ? If so, does not tho Fourteenth amendment of the constitution expressly prohibit the pay ment of anv debt contracted to aid thc rebel lion? All of these bills, without exception, aro da? ted prior to tho 1st of January, 1861, and if the Govornor, the Comptroller-General, the Treas? urer, or the Legislatura, will call before them the officers of thc bank, it will be found that every dollar loaned to the Confederate Govern? ment was o' this issue. The act of the Legis? lature is therefore clearly unconstitutional, or the constitutional amenomerft has itself boen regarded as a nullity. lt is well known that in the United States the State banks have issued and reissued and again reissued their own bills, and the law of South Carolina pr.or to the war required the banks to pay out their own bills ins1 cad of the bills of other banks. In the Bank of England, when a bill is once returned, it is forever cancelled; but the cost of engraving and printing int hi? coun? try is BO enormous as to compel banks to use their bills as long as they hold together. Such was the kind of currency issued, by the Bank of the State of South Carolina to the Con? federate Government for tbe express purpose of sustaining the war, and thousands of soldiers, in 1861 and 18G2, received their pay in these bills, dated prior to the first of January, 1861. Does the government of the Stato intend' to pay this war debt? In the face of the Fourteenth amendment how can it do so and bo justified? The act to fund these bills and give bonds to their owners, makes no provision whatever foi ascertaining what bills were issued before and after the first of January, 1861, and, as above observed, the date affords no indication of this fact. In view of these circumstances, the tax Saviog community have a right to call on the overnor. Treasurer, f>mptroller-General and Legislature to review the subject, and to re? quire all parties holding the bills ot the bank to prove that they were issued, bona fide, be? fore the 1st of January, 1861, and not subse? quently reissued as a part of the loan to the Confederate Government. It that fact cannot be established, then every bill ought to be re? jected, and no bond should be issued which the people must eventually pay, or cm be forced to pay under the provisions* of the Fourteenth amendment. Will the Legislature provide means to this end so that the public may be satisfied that a just disciimination has been made? If they do not, they will be derelict in duty, im? pose an unrighteous burden on the people of the State, and ignore a part of the constitu? tion which has given thom their very life and for which they profess so much devotion. BILLHOLDJEB. SOUTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE. Third Day's Proceedings. [TSOH 0?C OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ABBEVILLE, 8. C., December 18.-Conference waa opened with prayer by Rev. J. T. KU go. Tho Bishop took the chair, when the minutes were read and approved. Rev. C. Betts gave notice that a certain house and lot of land originally given to this body for missionary purposes, was now occu? pied by a member of the Northern church, who proposed to purchase it. The dor.or. Mr. DeSauBSuro, consenting, it was so ordered, and the papers were signed. The money was ordered to be turned over to tho trustees of a church in Sumter Circuit, burned during the war, to aid them m rebuilding. Revs. F. M. Morgan, Oliver Ead y and Joseph Parker were placed on the supernumerary list, by request. Wm. B. Buchauan, of Cokesbury; Samuel B. Hutchings, of Greenville; John B. Griffin, of Pickensville; Wm. K. Breeden, of Bannettsville, local preach rs, were elected to deacon's orders. J. M. Hulong, of Orange burg, aDd Edwin H. Price, of Buck Swamp, were elected to elder's orders; also local preachers. The Committee on the Publication or the Minutes submitted their report. Tho plan submitted was rejected, by tho adoption of a resolution to publish by joint subscription. Bev. V. A. Sharp waa appointed to obtain sub? scriptions for the general minutes of the church; and the Committee on Minutes were instructed to receive subscriptions for the pub? lication of the minutes of this Conference. Bev. L. A. Johnson vas continued ou the supernumerary hst. Tho Presiding Elder and preachers of tbe Shelby District being nearly all absent, it was moved aud carried, to pro? ceed nevertheless with the examination of character on that district, which was done. The hst of lavmen present wero reported to be : W. H. Austin, S. Bobo, B. H. Bryce, J. F. Caraway, V. C. Dibble, A. A. Gilbart, K. S. Hill, Miles Johnson, J. H. Kinsler, M. J. Kel? ler, W.D.Lee, C. D. Rowell, J. F. Smith, Benjamin Stokes, L. B. Yaru, H. T. Wright and James Zachary. The appeal for Washinston-street Church, Columbia, heretofore published in the Advo? cate, was read to tho Conference, and tho mat? ter urged upon tho membership in a few ap? propriate remarks, by Rev. Wm. Martin. It will be remembered that this church was de? stroyed by the flames of Sherman in his pas sage through that futoucity. Bev. Dr. Smith offered resolutions of sym? pathy for the struggling church, pledging the co-operation ot thc ministry in advancing the efforts of their agent, Rov. W. Martin. He spoke in feeling terms of the reminiscences of Methodism in Columbia, in connection wit h her present condition, ns bein? such as de? mand our efforts lo rebuild a hou^o of worship for those who have been so liberal m days past, and even at this session send up their full pro? portion for the relief of the widows and or? phans of this Conference. One hundred and sixty-two dollars were contributed by the audience. Bev. 8. Leard, chairman of the Board of Finance, called attention to the failure of brethren to present their monies, and to the meagre reports accompanying them. Considerable discusi?n sprung up in regard to thc time of holding Conference sessions, which subject was finally lett to tho appoint? ment of the bishops. Rev. A. L. Smith, D. Derrick, N. Talley, J. W. Townsend und W. C. Patterson were con? tinued on thc superannuated list on account of age and infirmity. Mr. Derrick, b.ing pres? ort, made some impressive remarks. He Stands tho connecting link between tbo patri arch8 of the church and the ministry of the present day. Tho Ecclesiastical Conference adjourned, when tho body corporate wrt3 called co order by Rev. Dr. Smith, president, in the chair. Revs. J. R. Griffith, J. B. Traywick, J. B. Platt and J. A. C. Crisp were olecteo members of the Lesral Conference. Rev. W. A. Gamewell submitted the report of the Board of Managers. Not more than seventeen thousand dollars of tho former in? vestments are now at all safe, and a largo amount thereof may never be realized. Only thirty-five dollars is now available, and tho sum of five dollars to each of seven persons consumed the whole. Tho officers were re-elected as last year, ex? cept that A. A. Gilbert was put on tho Board of Manager.-;, vieo r.n absent brother. On motion, the Legal Conference adjourned. Tho Bishop resumed tho chair, and, after the usual notices, Conference adjourned to nine o'clock to-morrow morning. (Plutuari). BUTLER.-Died, after a long and painful illness, at his residence :n Totness, s. C., oa the nyiht of November 10, Mr. JOEL BUTLER, aged Cl years and 10 months. "Mark theperfoct man, And behold the upright, For the end of that man is peace." LTVEREIT.-Died, near Columbia, on thc eve? ning of the 30th November, 18G8, the Rev. CHARLES EDWARD LEVERETT, aged sixty-two, in the con? fidence of a certain raith; m the comfort of a reason? able, religious and holy hope; in favor with Ood, and inperfect clarity with the world. Thus diod one who had glorified Ood in his lifo, and sincular ly glorified Him in his death Of a nature noble, just and upright; self-denying and self-sacrificing lo a remarkable degree, conscientious almost to a i-cru j}lo, ho endeavored "tolivc"as be would wished to have doue when he came to die. Thus prepared, when death carno ho faced it without quailing, aud on taking to his bod, aptly denominated it "his bcd ofdea'h," declaring that he "s w nothing on earth worth living for, and greatly desired to die." Dur? ing months of anguish, his groans woro mingled with prayers and hymns night and day. Sometimes the whole night would bo thus passed, so that by morning bis voice would be hoarse from continued nee. The pathetic tone, tho pleading look and ges? ture, the touching application to his own case, dur iug the-e daily ?nd nightly sacrifices of prayer, were deoply affectiug. From first to last he nevor wtvere I in his wish to depart, so that it became evident to those aiouud that this eurong desire carno from above. Once, when told he wits beiter, he said, "tho wiU of thc Lord bc done, for lite or for deaih;" but added immediately, "if it were loll to me to choose. I would pief-r to die." His language of-.-iimes resembled Job's; "in the sight ot Gad. said he, I abhor myself, and feel myseu" to bo nothing." "1 am not afraid to die; I?ive mt soul wholly, sole? ly and entirely into the nantis of my blessed Lord and only Saviour, Jesus Christ. I trust ouly to the merits and death of a crucified Redeemer! I have no doubts nor fears-all is cleat." i bis wa? his re? pealed testimoty throughout his illness. When the time of his d parlure was evidently at hand, his children, weeping, drew noar his bedside to pive tho lost farawell. As each ono kissed him, ho put bis dying han? on each head, blessed them with a solemn, yet cheerful vo'co, and pavo the part ing injuoctkn to each. "Meet me in Heaven 1" Scar? er and nearer drew the hour; tho difficulty of breath? ing had greatly increased, and the expiring patri? arch, whose white loekd told plainly the griefs, strug? gles and sorrows of his past bte, lay silently gnz?ug upw rds, as ii looking into the v ry heavens. With a gesture common with him throughout bis illness (when In teen t communion with Him whom bo adored), arm ex ended, band raised and moving, a ii pl acting his cause with an unseen and invisible one; with wrapt, int 'nt aud piercing look, as though seeing something beyond mortal sight-fir awhile he thus lay. Mortality, thus adoringlv communing with immortality, was a thrilling 6ipht to thc awe? struck beholders, and a deep silence was alwavs kept by his watchers until this was over. His Fiifferinps were very great, and desirous to know if. when tho very palus of death wore then on him, he still re? mained steadfast In his desire to depart, be was ask? ed, "You have ofton longed to go-if the Mas er cuis are you now ready?" "Yes." with difficulty ho an nwered, "lam soanxious togo I" Still later, to cheer him, it was teiriuUy announced to him, ' i our trou? bles will soon be over; you will soon outer into life!" Ho iuiutly but distinctly replied, "You mean Eternal lite-thank God l-l am so glad to pol" Then rais? ing his eyes to Heaven, he cried "Oh. Saviour, make haste! Oh, my Master, take me, take mel" A few hours later his spirit peacefully took its flight. So completely had ha made ready for thc great chang*, th it his own hand-writing appointed the pall-bearers, paw directions for thc funeral arrange? ments, mentioned the spot ho wished to be laid, and requested that thc h\mu, "I would not live alway," be sung at his funeral. "Let me die the death ot tbo righteous, and let my list end be like bis." * Special Hotires. ?3-NOT?.CE.-MB. N. O. TILTON.OF AIKEN, .0.. having executed a Deed of Assignment to tho undersign?

So long as these Bitters are all that we represent them to be, we do not know that it makes any difference from whom they come, or nom whence they originated; out for tbo information of the public generally, and old Captain Wontz in par? ticular, we will say dat he told the truih, and that these Bitters originated in the West India Island - that many of the ingr?dients have becu favorably used for over a century, but that our combination of Calif aya is entirely new, and our own. Tho rum and other ri oler?ais aro the i ame, and. as your cor? respondent says, a better Bitters and Tonic is not made.

MAGNOLIA WATKB.-Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at half the price, December 22 tuthsS US' THE TBUE MEDICAL DOCTBINE. Nature, when struggling with disease, indicates unmistakably the kind of assistance she requires. In cases cf nervous weakness and general debility the feeble pulse, tho lack-lustre eye, tho attenuated frame, tho flacid muscles, tho melancholy visage, inroim us as plainly as ii each organ hod a torgue, that a medicated stimulant ls needed. It does not require the aid of a medical education to understand this dumb appeal fur new vigor, from an exhau-tcd system. Every reader of these lines can compre? hend it just as well as the graduate o f a physicians' college. Let not this demand of enfeebled nature bo neglected. Respond to it promptly by com? mencing a course ol HOSTEITER'S STOMACH BITT. RS, a preparation uniting in their highest excellence the properties of a STIMULANT, au rs VTGORANT, and an ALTERATIVE. Before three days have elapsed, from thc takli g of thc first dose, a marked beneficial change will bc manifest in Ibo bodily and mental condition of the patient. Thc pulse will be stronger and mere regular, thc eye will begin to lose its dull expression, the m us .-ular and nervous systems to recover their tension, and the spirits to improve. Persevere, und a complete revivification of thc depressed animal and mental powers is certain. In cases of dyspepsia and bili ousncss, tho same salutary resulte will bc obtained. Tho appetite will revive, thc sallowness of the skin disappear, and all the distressing symptoms which accompany disorders of the stomac t and liver will rapidly subside. The cold of winter often in? tensifies tiicso complaints hy checking thc poispira tory action, by which so much morbid matter is evaporated through thc pores in milder weather, and therefore the BIT 1ER.? aro especially useful lo the dyspeptic and bilious at ebie season.
