PROCEEDINGS Ei THE SENATE-ROBERTSON" CHAIR HAN" OF THE COMMTTTEE OX DIS ABILITIES-HE IS INDIGNANT THAT HIS RADICALISM SHOULD BE IMPUGNED-NO NOMINATIONS-PROSPECT OF THE REPEAL OF THE TENURE- OF-OEFICE LAW. WASHINGTON, March 20.-IN THE SENATE, to-day, McDonald introduced a bill to aid in constructing a railroad from a junction on the Mississippi and Missouri to tbo Mexican border. A committee of seven bas been appointed on political disabilities, viz: Robertson, chairman; Osborn, Hamlin, Howe, Ferry, Boreman and Vickers. The Tenure-of-office bill was discussed to adjourn m eat without action. The tliocussion will probably continuo all next week. Ferry, in stating that it was not probable the House would agree to the Sonate's proposal for a select committee to consider applications for removal of disabilities, moved to refer them to the Committee on the Judiciary, which was done. Si^bsequently, Robertson's resolution for the appointment of a select committee of seven was agreed to, and applications will be referred to it. Tbe appointment of Robertson as chairman of the committee for the removal of disabili? ties, indicates a stringent eiarr:nation in cases and favor to very few. Robertson recently re? marked regarding reports in Carolina papers that he was tending towards Democracy, that on the contrary be and bis colleague were fully as Radical as ever. No nominations to-day. Several confirma? tions, but none affecting the Sooth. The Committee on Commerce reported favor? ably for Casey ae Collector of the Port of New Orleans. They reported back Longstreet's nomination without any reco Emendation. Executive session took no action either. WASHINGTON, March 21.-A letter was read in the Metropolitan Church to-day, when Grant and Chase were present, asking the sympathy and prayers of the congregation for the revo? lutionists in Cuba. EUEOPE. MB. DISRAELI ON THE IRISH CHURCH DISESTAB? LISHMENT QUESTION. LONDON, March 19.-In the House of Com? mons to-day. tiie bill for the disestablishment of the Irish Church came np for its second reading. Mr. Disraeli addressed the Honse. His ar? gument was that the connection between tho Church and State was a necessary one, the forager rendered the Stat? religious, investing its authority with the highest sanction. This Dish scheme was likely to destroy religious freedom and toleration. It was a complete violation of the rights of private property, corporate and private property beiug inti? mately oonnected. All acts of spoliation were dangerous; hitherto they had been fol? lowed by civil war or something worse. For? mer confiscation bad only enriched the land? owners. The strength of Iroland was in her connection with England. The majority of the Irish people were discontented; the settle? ment of the church question would be insuffi? cient to quiet tkoir discontent; the land ques? tion required settlement. The details of tbis scheme were complicated and delusive. Mr. Disraeli deprecated the course of the present government as in antagonism to Ute former policy of the Whig party, whoBe aim was civil and religions freedom. In conclusion, he ex? pressed a belief that the bill was most danger? ous to the country, bat be felt that he could depend upon the ptudence and patriotism of ? Parliament. He then mored that the bill be read a second time six months from to-day. Mr. William H. Gregory, member from Gal? way, followed in reoly. He taunted the last speaker with his inconsistency, com paring the speech he bad jost made with his former decla? rations that the Irish Atoren was a monstrous grievance to Deland. Mr. Gregory, however, did not unreservedly support the bill; be thought an equitable division of the church property among the three religions parties pre? ferable to the present scheme of distribution. lathe House of Peers this evening Lord Grey and Lord Cairns condemned the policy of the go ver ornent in releasing the Fenian con? victs. Earl Granville, Colonial Secretary, explained that the ovations given by their friends to tho released Fenius were acts of personal hospi? tality-not d?monstrations of hostility to the government. LONDON, March 20.-The Irish Church dis? establishment was debated last night at great length. The principal speaker in favor of the measure was John Bright. TBOUB ES IN ANDALUSIA. MADRID, March 19.- The trouble ia Anda? lusia still continues. At Ferez de la Frontera opposition to military conscription culminated in a battle between the insurgents and tho troops. The engagement was of short dura? tion, but was very fierce. The insurgents were de fea'ed and routed. Six hundred of them were taken prisoners. Miramon, at the head of nine hundred Carlista, had appeared at Pa? tena, in the mountains near Almeria. Troops bave bean dispatched to that neighborhood. TUX PRESS IN AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Marsh 19.-A royal decree has just been published establishing trial by jury for off JUC?T against the press law. AFFAIRS IN CEEA. PROCLAMATION OF THE CAPIATN-OENKBAL - TAX? ATION CHANGES.

HALL OF PLANTEBS'AKD MECHANICS'BANK, CHARLESTON, 8. C., March 17, 1869. I Tbe annual meeting of the stockholders o' the 8avannah and Charleston Railroad Com? pany (postponed from the 8th of January, 1869,) was held this day at 12 M. A majority of tho stock bein? represented, tho meeting was called to order by Hon. Henry Bnist, who moved that E. W. Marshall, Esq., taue the chair. Tho minutes of the last annual meeting were read and confirmed. Tho President submitted his report, which, together with the Superintendent's report and statements o? the Treasurer, was ordered to be published: SECOND ANNUAL REPOST. SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON rt. R, COMPANY, ) CHAULS 'TON, S. v., March 17. 18G9. j To the Stockholders-1 he Board of Directors re spectfuily submit the accompanying reporls of the Superintendent and Secretary and Treasurer, exhib? iting in detail the affairs of the company for the past year. It will appear, from these report?, that no progress has bein made in the work ot' reconstruction ni v. co our last annual meeting. This, doubtless, has given ri.-e to criticism and perhaps censure from persons not intimately acquainted with the difficulties which has beset your direction. To maintain the operations of thc road up to the present time, with its limited resources, has taxed our utmost ingenuity, and only been accomplished by ligid economy and careful administration of its finances. With an abiding confidence lc ultimate success, we bave struggled vigorously agaiust every advene circumstance to sustain the present status of tbe road until such time as the plans we had in contem? plation could be fully realized. We now have the pleasure t congratulate you on tbe consummation of our efforts in the passage of an act by the Gen? eral Asst moly, rat m td the 2d instant, affording tho means necessary to complete the road to Sa? vannah. The securing of this long and anxiously looked for aid has been attended with vexatious delays, and, at tunes, with obstacles sum' ant almost to paralyze our energy, but we have neve .-e'axed our exertions for a moment, confident of tbe success of tho cause in which we were engaged. 1 he moment for a "rompt resumption of the work upon the road has arrived, and it is earnestly ex? pected that the Board of Direction you are now calle 1 on to elect will lose no time in pushing forward the work to an early completion. The importance ol opening up this line of com? munication bas been mero manifest within the past >ear than at any period since the ?r-t conception of | the enterprise. To every one interested in railroad affairs, travel? ling the seaboard line north of this cit?, it must ; have been apparent how great Las been the in?rense | of passenger business coming south during the win? ter, and cens t quent ly a corresponding return North as the summer appioaches. Ko inatguitleant share of this travel is tributary to our road, invited by the fertile soil and genial climate of our nuigbburiug sister t-ta e, Florida. That this migratory .-nd pe? riodical travel and business will be augmented m the future by the increased facilities and comforts af? forded by the Savannah and charleston Railroad, no one can doubt; sufficient evidence being daily a j. duord by the v >lnme ot travel seeking that region by the circuitous route via Augusta aud Mvanuah, or by the sea route via Jacksonville and Feraiudiua, all of | which will necessarily adopt the more direct, speedy and economical comniunicatiou afforded by cur linc. It is alf o well known to our business eommuni ly that at tbe presout time except io a very limited ex? tent) onr city is deorived of the benefit* of a large share ol its legitimate jobbing trade from one of tho most avored te.-lions ot the Scuth. for want of tho proper facilities. Previous to the war charleston enjoyed a liberal patronage from tbe section of coun? try .-'uuth and West ai tar as the Gulf of Mexico, while the plantera of that region invariably sought Ibis market lor the ?ale of tho great t tap le as the most advantageous to the r interests. Tlii ? business we will ag alli couioiscl whenever tao havannah und Chaile'ton Itaiiioad is competed. fn addition, wa have reasonable assurance of a mare direct c< mniumeation with the West India Islands via St. Marks. Florida, over our line, and of a revenue tlier. tiULU never contemplated uutii within a short timo past. Without ucsiring to excite delusive expectations, your direction cannot refrain trom expressing their confidence in tho futuro prosper'ty ot tbe road. With persistent enerby, and a determination to i vweonia ?ll obstacles, our efforts must result lu sn .ress. Respectfully submitted. J. E. hoiLSTON, President pro tem.

Sixty oue miles of railroad-from Char.es ton to Cooeaw hatch's- without connection of any kind running through a country laid waste by (ho extreme severities of the late war, and singularly un? fortunate in early efforts fer its recuperation, has been solely dependent upon i's receipts from this desolated section tor its continued vitality. Ihe obstacles to the early restoration of the road to its western te; m uns reduced the matter to this simple question : Shall the operations of the road cease, and i he property bo exposed to the depreda? tions which its situation would invite, or can the ex? penses be limited to the receipt?? It was decided to continue the operations on a scale of the closest economy; the attention of the management I a?, then-tore been directed, and nsces sari j limited, to the maintenance of the existing status. inspection of the foregoing statement will show how closely expenditure has followed receipt, sud how small a margin ha.-existed for making repairs and improvement. In view of tue situation a briet reference to the several departments of railroad service will answer the pi ?sent purpose: TEX BO AD WAT. A torce of one (1) man to every one and a half (l>ii miles has boen steadily employed on the traek, and such supplies of material hu"e*been applied month? ly as the ci-c urastanecB of the road permitted. Fight thousand (8000) croat tis* and one hundred and fifty-five thousand (156.000) feet of limber have boen inserted. Cnn ties a-e needed on the portion of road frons St Andrew's Depot to the Eduto River, which soo ticn of read, from buring been little disturbed at the periodo! the military movrmenU iu the spring of 1860. reeived less attention on thc resumption of operations at tbe close of that j ear. From the Edisto lo the Salient! ebie Bivei the road is in ; liror. er. Between thc Salkebatohie and Coosawhatchio Eivers whenever io the recoustroetion the straight? ened rai is wei e used, the irregularities in the iron are still marked, fe'o mu improvement :s obvious on this sealion, fri-rn the constant attention giVuu to the straightening ot rails aud drainage. An ample supply ot new timber would injure a goo i road, the "life" of the irou teing ny no means exhausted. 'Ibo improved receipts ol tbe last quar? ter hive been appropriate- to supply the deficiency in cross tie s and timber. >ew buildiugsand pla form hare been erected Rt Baut? wit's, At-ticpoo and Grain Pond, lor the eon veuicuee and protection ol passengers and freigut and repairs o se where made as .iractioable The oonditiou ol the company's road beyond Coo-awbatcbic bas not been se iously obaugtd since its abandonment in 1865. Between Cuosawhit hie and Hardeeville there has been no change, th?iron rcmamin- as it vas at Ina last annual report. New cross.ies aud timber wonia at once bring into servioe these seventeen (17) mile* of iron. Hie passenger and freight depot, agent's house und wuter stations it Grahamville are still in fair order. TRANSPORTATION. In tl o exercise ol the close economy reudored necessary by the conduit n of the company's affairs, it was lound imperative to discharge tbe steamer em? ployed during lb67 ou the Ashley uiver Ferry, md rf return to tho barges waa va ide ou the 16th .?iaroh. The passage ol the river ha? been conducted with out damigc to passengers or material injury to freiuht She usual tri-weekly passenger ?nd freight train has leen kept in leaular service, nnd cnjoyitl eusou ai>!e iniir.uu; : -, from necia nt. The S?nde acoidcut was thc.dcaPj oft c lo ed em? ployee of the- company, resulting tras L.? i imping from 'he traill ?rhu? in motion. The travel, from the situation of the road, has bi of an entirely l^cal . haractcr, and measured by absolute necessities ot tho people. The unfortunate experience of the planters eil the war has counucd them to the eonntry, while tedious schedule of a ''mixed train" is not calci ted to attract the tourist or popularize the line. The repeated failures of the crops along the s board, and the disorganized condition of the ent region of country traversed-indicated con?picuou in the wretched condition of the public roads-hi combined te reduce the freight business of tbe rc to the miniinum. No ftir estimato of the future i tent of the local bu-ine-B of the road can be fons from the data collected since the war. The promises of future prosperity and succe which, in spite of past experiences, seem to invite renewed effort, must bc extended to this region, vored with so man> natur il advantage*. Apart frcm tbe hopes of the agriculturists, other forests claim attention, and indicate a brighter fm u Ike discovery of the phosphate rock tbreushc 'he coast r-giou of South Carolina, and the impc tant po?mon at once taken by this commodity in t manufacture of fertilizers'-ilromise. in the devele ment, material con'ribution to this road, which t verses this entire basin. The many advantages possessed hy this deposit phosphate in facility of accem and of shipment prc imity to tbe great markets and intrinsic value mi affect favorably the fortunes of a railroad with whi it will be so intimately connected.

Those ut the company's yard at St Andrew's, n in use, have received kueh protection from tl weather as it was lound possible to afford. The wan> ol the necessary machine shops ha* bet felt aud has rendered repairs unnecessarily expe eive. CARS. Of thc freight cars belonging to tho enmpan which were a' the South Carolina Railroad, e were thought of sufficient value to just fy remova the others wire dismantled and the iron aeenred. Little -hatige has been effected in the condition < the rolling stock on tbe road. One firet-elass coach, on which considerable r pairs had been made, bas been finished and place upon the road. A sc ond-cltiss coach will shortly be put into se vice, Laving beeu plainly but neatly overhauled. Four (4| platfo-m eais huve been built and othei will be added as found praclica'-lc lbc want ot shelter for the passenger rollin stock not in usc bas no doubt resulted in aeriou injury from tbe weather, which was unavoidabl with the limited resource* at command. The usual tables and statements, affording all ii formation of the affairs of the road for the past year are subjoined, to which your attention is invited. Very respeel fully, C. S.

REMARKABLE MABBIAQS - BETROTHED TO THREE BROTHERS.-Tho Americus (Ga.) Cou? rir relates tbe particulars of a case in that county, in which the bride was betrothed to three brothers, and married to two of them, which is rather remarkable : On the 6th of August, 1866, a young man came to Americas and procured license to marry an ostimablo young lady, residing sove ral miles lrom this city; rvout borne, itud was married in the afternoon of that day. He was attacked by a congestive chill, which termi? nated in his death the following Saturday-the stricken bride following his romains to their last roaring placo, clothed in tbe same suit in which her heart had buen made glad by be? coming his bride. On the following August (18G7), the second brother of the same family came to Amengua for tbe same purpose which bad brought the doeeased one year previous. On his way home, rejoicing in happy anticipation of making the worthy widow of bis lost brother his own bride, be was caught in a heavy rain, and arrived at homo with his clothing thoroughly saturated, from wbiob bo was taken with a congestive chill tbe same evening, and died tbe evening previous to the marriage, which was to bave taken place the following Sabbath. Again, in? stead of listening to tbo merry ringing of the marriage bolls, tho death knoll was beard and a funeral procession took thc place of tho mar? riage feast. Sometime during last month the third bro? ther of the deceased procured license, and was happily married to the twice-bereaved lady. ?ST THE CELEBRATED W. 8. 0.
