The Freedmen as Tenant Farmers-How They Lire-Tho Situation-A Puzzled Set of Metroes. . TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NfcWJ. FORK OF EDISTO, S. C., Januaiy 27-The supposition tbat everything in nature is dual, I hope will prove conect in ono connection at least, li it does, then the evil of laud-renting will not be without its good results. For the past two years the freedmen have exhibited an indomitable desire for lana-renting. And no matter to what extent they may fail or what reverses they may meet with, this plan of man? aging on their own account they, thus far, e till insist on. This year the idea has expanded to still moro beautiful proportions, and such things as farm lu borers for wages are few and far between. The conseqnencos are, that the labor of the country bas become unavailable, and farmers are restricted to smaller areas upon which to base their operations. This, though, may be all for the better, as they will no doubt make what thoy do plant yield more to the acre. -tinder existing circumstances, r^ntiog lands to the tredmen is attenaed with evils that would not otherwise obtain. Thoy are poor in the common acceptation of the term, and are without tho means which would justify any attempt at farming within thenis-lve-. The idea of a family comprising a half dozen or more members, who probably have noe bread et.ou'.'h to lost thou three months, renting eight or ten acres of laud, that will not pro? duce three hundred pounds of seed cotton to the aore, and who expect to make a support by usine: the boo alono in the cultivation ot thc sou, is preposterous in the cxtxtme. Yet they manage to livo, yew in aid year out, all tho deficiencies and lucouvotueaces to tho con? trary notwithstandng. lu the mcant.mc thc stock of the whites, such as hogs and cattle, "to slaughter are condemned." This state? ment may be regarded by some as an act gra? tuitously performed that might as well have been dispensed with. But facts are stubborn things sometimes, and like murder, will "out." Now that tho Presidential election is over and Radicalism a fixed fact for four years, at least, the party spirit which ran so high to the detrimcn: of si) other caliiuga than political, has subsided, and the whites have turned more attention to industrial pursuits. Nothing tends no much to paralyze industry as political contests. Especially does the truth ' of this remark apply to those who have but recently been allowed to enjoy the rights, privileges and immunities of tree citizens. Gradually both races are accommodating themselves to the new order of things, and the butter time, so much talked of, muy be looked for in pro? portion as Time grows older. The advent of Radicalism and the operations of government under its rule, have puzzled some of the up-couutry darkies to a point be? yond endurance. They cannot comprehend how the Sheriff can collect taxes from those wck) elected hun to office. Aud so incensed did tliey become at his rigid enforct ment of tho tax executions, that a numb, r from St. Matthew's Parish assembled, not ong since, with a view of put ting him ont ot office. T hey acted on the principle, that inasmuch as they bad pnt him in office, by virtuo of the samo right they w.re pr.vileetd to put him out. They were made to view tho mattir in a tl.fier? ont light, however, aud when informed of the serious nature ol the attempt they were ab jut to make, desisted from tLo:r purpose. This shows you tho extreme ignoreI'CO ot the negro relative to tho machiuory of tho government ho has formed.

FROM TRUE STATE CAPITAL. Thc Election Bill- Hep ort of the Com? mittee-Chancea of a F lyn t-Thc Codi? fication of the I. atv J - General Pro? ceedings-The Sonth Carolina Rail? road-Judge H?ge. [FBOM OUE OWN COBBESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., January 30,18G9.-The mi? nority report of tho Committee en Elections on the bifl of Senator Corbin, is signed by Hon. H, Buck (Democrat) Senator from Horry County, and Senator W. E. Rose, (Republican) of York County, lt is very brief and simply opposes the bill as unnecessary legislation, as establishing a bad precedent, and recommends that tbe matter be left to the courts. As will be seen the ?. majority report"?? signed by but two members, J. J. Wright, of Beaufort, chairman, aud Senator W. R. Hoyt, of Colle ton. The following is the report : The Committee un Elections, to whom was referred a bill to confirm and declare valid the recent election of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston, report that they have bad access to the records and papers in the Su? preme Court relative to the Municipal election had in thc City of Charleston. From these ic appears: First. That au election was held for munici? pal officers in the City of Charleston on the lOch day of November last. Second. That on the day subsequent to the election tho managers for tho several precincts met, each board by itself, counted or can? vassed the v otes cast, and made their several returns to thc Mayor, whose duty by law it was to "open the rep ?rt of said managers, an? nounce and publish the whole nnmberof votes cast, and tho wholo number cast for oach can? didate, when the several candidates receiving the largest number of legal votes for the of? fices for which they weie voled for waa to bo declared duly elected." Third. The Mayor neglected and refused to publish the votes as returned to him by tho managers. A protest against the election was filed with the Mayor by Bandry citizens, upon rhich it was conceived Buch a case had arisen as is provided in the latter portion of section 5 of tho Municipal Election ac', viz : ''When the election of a majority of tho persons voted for is contested, or the managers charged with illegal conduct, in which case the returns, to? gether with tho ballots, shall be examined and the case investigated by the Acting Board of | Aldermen, who shall declare the eleebon, and their decision shall be binding upon all par? ties." In pursuance of this provision of tho law an investigation was made by tho Acting Board ot Aldermen, running through some two weeks. Your committee have had aooess to tm- evi? dence taken, as reported hy the official report? er appointed by the Acting Board of Aldermen, from which the following facts subj tani ia Hy are gleaned : 1. Thc managers appointed under tho gen? eral election law conducted the election, and in the precincts as arranged under that law. 2. Three days' registration wero bad on ?ne three days immediately preceding tho elec? tion. 3. The managers were composed of both po? litical parties. 4. They couducted the registration in good faith ; some of the boards, however, did not require the oath provided in section 3 of the act to bo taken by all oenone, especially by those well known to them to bo entitled to voto. This appears, if an error, to have been committed without any wrong intent. It does not appear that any person was, in conse? quence, allowed to register who was not law [ tally entitled to do so. 5. All tho managers who were examined, tes? tified that the election was couducted by them, eo far as they knew, according to law, fairly and honestly. Most of them testify tho? never knew a fairer election. 6. I he re was ' o riot or disturbance on elec? tion day to in teri, re with tho election. 7- It no whore appears that any person voted who was not entitled to vote, or that any per? son was prevented iroin voting who was enti? tled to vote. 8. The acting Board of Aldermon examined the ballots and counted them,so far as they were returned to them by the managers, aud found them substantially tho same as returned by the managers. From one or two precincts the Mallots were not returned hy the managers, but were thrown away or destroyed after being counted 'ibis was tho case especially in the seventh ward. 9. Upon the case thus presented, it appears the actin? Board of Aldermen declared the election v. id. Fourth. The aid of the Supremo Court was then invoked to compel tho Acting Board of Aldermen to declara the election. To tho al? ternative writ of mandamus issued tho Acting Board of Aldermen returned, substantially, that the election was contested, that thereupon they had examined the returns, together with the b.illuts, and investigated the case, aud de? clared the election void. Thc c art held the return insufficient, that it was not competent for theJi to thus declare the electijn void, and commanded them to declare the election, and mike return i*i<u-eof to the Supreme Court on the 20th day of /anuary, 18G9. Upon this ore cr the Acting Board of Alder? men proceeded to declaro the election, aud made return thrreof to thc Supreme (JOCK, as commanded, on tho 20th day ot January, 18G9. That return sets forth the whole number of votes cast for each candidate, and the office for which he was voted, tod then deplores : That Uitbett Pillsbuiy receive i the largest number ot votes tor Ma\ or. That T. D. Geddings and James F. Groetio re? ceived tho largest number of votes for Alder? men of Ward No. L Aud William McKinlay and E. W\ M. stackey, tho lamest, number ol' votes tor Aldermen ot Ward No. 2. Aud Rjbert Howard, David Barrow and T. J. M ickey. the largest number of votes for Al? dermen of Ward No. 3. AudL..T. Potter. Richard Holloway, G. I. Cunningham, Charles Voigi and W. R. H. Hampton, tho largest uumh r of votes for Al? dermen oi Ward NJ. 4. And G. F. Wall une. Philip "Jhorn, the largtst number of votes foy Ald*:r:an of Ward No. And .M. H. Coilios ar.c. .idcolm Lrowu. tho largest number of ve."s fit: Aldermen of Ward No. 6. And E. P. Wall, thc Invest number of votes for Alderman of Ward 1?<J. 7. And T. Smalls, the largest number of votos for Alderman of Ward No. 8. And the Acting Board of Aldermen say that they have accordingly made public declaration thereof. This declaration of the election, which has been wrung from the Acting Board of Alder? men by writ of mandamus, by which they were instructed roi as to how or what their decla? ration 9buuld oe, but that they must and should make the declaration the law says "shall be binding on all parties." (See fifth section of tot.) Upon the case as thus presented, your com? mittee remark that tbs irregularities whioii oc? curred in this Municipal oleotion ni tho City of Charleston appear to havo been morely formal, and iu no way affected the result of the elec? tion. 'ihe oath, which was not exacted in all cases, and whiei.i appears at first viow to present t ti e moat serious question, is in fact aud in law unconstitutional. It is iu contravention of sinuous two and eight ol' arti le eight of tho constitution, m Um: that it required as a qualification of voting a longer residen .-o than is requited iu tho constitution, and hence touded to abridge tho privil ge of voting. The other irregularities woto purely techni? cal and occurred without fraud, actual or iui piiod. Your committee see no difficulty in enforcing the dui tus of the eileen-fui candidates at law. except tue delays which always attend shaiply litigated casis. Tao promeut organ zation of tho courtb. und tho business before thobe conns, are such th it it ia not probable-infact, it is certain - a cac.sion could not bo hud ia ieS3 than ona year. Hence, it ?B urged with great propriety??nJ forco that more than one third of tho time 1er which the successful can? didates were e.ecleJ will have passed before they eau obt;.in theu- offices. There :s no doubt that tho General Assem? bly hi> aright to pass such a lawas thc one proposed. A Jar o aumber of such acts, or similar in princip'e, aro to bc fe und in the statute boo!?? of the State Their effect has never boen questioned. They aro sustained up Jn tho principle that thc law-making power has a right to dispensa wit'i tho compliance with tho foimaliues or requtiemenla of its own outs. These cons;deratiocs justify your committee in recommending that the bill do puss. All of which ia respectfully submitted. J. J. WRIGHT, Chairman. W. B. HvYT. ! It is impossible for any one as yet to even a gnesB at what will be the result the bill comes up for discussion on sped j der next Thursday. From the observatii j your correspondent, there will be a pretty fight. Senator Leslie has already annoc himself in opposition to the bill. Thc ? eratic members, five in number, will ceri rote against it. Tho Republican senators erally havo avoided any expression ol' opi but seem anxious bo obtain all possible i mation on the subject before it comes u discussion. In the House there is a soe feeling, among the up-country members dally, to dodge tho bill by postponements to let Charleston take care of itself: or in i words, not to make any special legislation let the case bo fought out in the courts. The subject of the codification of the st) laws of the State, about which tho Senate House faUed to agree at the special eesi has again been brought up by a bill introd by Senator Le she. The real cause of di ?a; mentis no doubt to be found in the numb candidates for the position of codifiers. Friday Senator Corbin made a report re< mending two codifiers instead of three, wi salary of $5000 each, one to be elected by House and the other by the Senate. The bill to incorporate the Citizen's Sav Bank of South Carolina, which, after a si contest, passed a second reading yester came up for a third reading to-day and laid on the tabla by tho casting vole of Sen Corbin, President of the Senate. Sev friends of thc bill were absent, and it is t posed that it will a ;ain be called up and fin passed in a full Senate It is contended bj opponents that tho bill gives the corporal the largest powers as a banking institut whereas it should be restricted to certain vesfments or safe securities to which the < rations of such institutions are usually c fined. The question of the taxation of railroad! being agitated, and the proposition mo. ts v. geueral favor. The bill introduced by Sena Leslie to amend the act authorizing additio aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, c tains a similar provision to that attached the Senate to the bill to enable the Savant and Charleston Railroad Company to comp! their road. Section two enacts ' that al! bonds auth ?zed by said act above named, aud all fur raised at any time under tho provisions sai l act shall bo used exclusively for I budding of said road, and the outfit of I same; and until tho completion ot said roi no salary shall be paid to any officer of I said road out of funds so raised by said act.' Section thiee enacts "that said act shall t be of force until sail railroad company sb have certified their assent to tho taxation said road, in conformity to section two, arti twelve, of the constitution of the Mate. Sa consent to be duly certified to the Comptrelli General and Secretary of tho State." IN THE HOUSE, yesterday, a bill to re-ont certain acts lending tho nonie and credit of t State to the Greenville and Col umbu Ra i Ire Company, and to validate tho action ol BI company thereunder, was taken up for a st ond re? ding. Mr. Neaglo offered the following rcsolutio liesoloed, That the bill b? recommitted the committee with instructions to answer tl following questions: 1st. What length of road is laid in new iror 2d.

On Sunday night last, a small sorrel horse wps stolen from the stables of Mr. John A. McRae, about two miles from Benneitsville. by some person or persons unknown. Mr. A. J. Bristow, of Bennettsville, had the misfortune on Wednesday last of shooting himself through the left hand, while loadin pistol which he supposed unloaded at the time We learn that Mr. bristow is doing as well could be expected, considering tho nature the wound. The Bennettsville Journal says : "The court bad been engaged on the sessions docket from tho first day of tbe session until Monday last when the only remaining criminal cases not continued were disposed of. The caso of the state TS. Nelson Webb, for the morder of Jim Odom, colored, which was tried on Thursday of last week, resulted in a verdict of man slaughter. The ease of the State vs. Peggy Bogers, colored, was heard on Saturday, which resulted in her acquittal. The above-named cases were defended by able counsel. Jake Boyd, colored, indicted for murder, having escaped several weeks ago, his case was con? tinued to the next t?rm. The civil dockets were commenced on Tuesday, and are being pushed through with considerable activity." Barnwell. The Sentinel BayBt "The effort now being made to remove the courthouse to Blackville should arouse the citizens of Barnwell to the necessity of making an exertion to complete their railroad. Direct returns in di vid mds for the amount of money investod is not the incentive to attempt finishing the road. The indirect benefits accruing from the saviug of time and expense in transportation and travel the enhanced value of property, and the gene ral prosperity incident, aie far more imp or tant. It ie found impracticable to raise the means to complete the road as originally de signed. There are several courses which might be adopted to render the work already done available. 1. Tba co?t of simply finishing the gradim; would not be very great. It only this was done and the route used by ordinary ve hieles as a turnpiko, it would be a great accom modation. 2. Tramways having longitudinal timbers for th 2 who 'ls to run on are used in many places. The citizens of Georgia are now earnestly discussing various plans of wooden railways as feeders to their regular lines of railroads, some propose g to uso steam and oiheis boree power. If this road was once graded the freights and passage money would soon pay in a section where timber was so plentiful for the superstructure and two or three light cars which could make three to rive trips per day, as business required." Abbeville. Mr. Isaac Keller, an industrious and worthy young farmer, living about five miles distan from this village, has had the misfortune to have bis dwelling house and all of his furniture destroyed by fire abo.-t two weeks ago. Mr Keller and family were not at homo at the time of the fire-the work of an incendiary. Tho Press says: "Our Circuit Court adjourn? ed on Monday last. The day was principally occupied in hearing motions and passing or? ders in various matters of unlitigated busi? ness. The previous week had been entirely occupied with tho State cases and matters of unlitigated civil business. By agreement of counsel tbe litigated civil business was con? tinued over until thc May term, and will furn? ish lull employment for many weeks of ardu? ous labor. During the past week many cases were tried, and the majority of the cases were disposed of." The Press, in publishing the lottor of Attor? ney-General Chamberlain, published in THU NKWS last weok, says: "Mr. Chamberlain states that he was received with kindness and oivility, and saw no evidences of disorder and lawless? ness; he is not prepared to endorse us as frilly as he has been represented to have done. His opportunities were too limited for that. A man who comos to-day on a railroad train and leaves to-morrow cannot be expectod to know much of our past, present and future. We only re? gret that Mr. Chamberlain's visit was so brief, and his sp h ero of observ?t io 3 so restricted. Wo believe that a lougor stay would have been mutually agreeable, that we would have been pleased witu bim, and that ho would have been preparad to render tardy justice to the law abiding and peace-loving character of our people." Greenville. , On the 22d ult., Dr. A. D. Hoke received a troublesome wound from the accidental dis? charge of a small pistol he had in his pocket. The Mountaineer repels the charges made by A. S. Wallace, thc defeated candidate for Congress, against tbe peace and good order of the people of Greenville County during the late election. During tho late term of tho Court of General Sessions and Common Pleas for Greenville County, Messrs. Absalom Blytho. Frank B. Ale Bee and Augustine Bac n were admitted to practice as attorneys, solicitors and counsel? lors in the Circuit and Probate Courts of this State. At. the clos 3 cf tho recont January term of the Circuit Court, his Honoi Judge Orr issued an order for an extra term of the court to he held on the fourth Monday in April next. This was rendered necessary from the fact that a large amount of business remaiucd from the accumulations of previous years. We copy the following cheering information about tho Town of Greenville from the Moun? taineer : "Business has very materially revived during thc past few weeki, and many ot our merchants have reaped a small harvest from the influx of currency brought into circulation by recent sales ot cotton at advanced and re? munerative unces. Sevoral new buildings are m process of construction, and several others in cont, mplation; old roofs are being laid bare and new coverings placed over them; feuccB aro also being rejuvenated, and the Council aro busy in slrivingto cl jar up tho streets, remov? ing trocs that ob itructt d sidewalks, ?c. Kcal cstatoha- already appreciated in pnce, wo un? derstand; the institutions of loaming are opening their doors to a greater extent than for many years past, and we trust that thu town will lengthen theso first stops towards prosperity until they attain to rapid strides." A FBANK CONFESSION.-.Ur. u. E. Castle, of Rochester, New York, writes: 'I havo used your machino for several mo.nhs; and being familiar with most other first-ciasB machinos, I unhesitatingly pronounce yours the best family sowing machine. In common with many others, I confess I was prejudiced against it, on account of its being a one-thread machine, until I Iud thoroughly tosted it. I am now satisfied that it is the simplest, least liable to ge: out of order, and easiest to work; that it runs tho stillest, makes tho strongest seam, and hems, foils and cords, better than any other machino.- Letter to Wi'cnx & Uibbs' Sewing Machine Company, April 17, 18GG. _/mt jUts._ ^ lt KAT ATTRACTION AT QUfNBY'3 A CO/S PHOTOGRAPH AND FINK ART GALLEUY.
