That's the way to do it. ? -Ex-Governor MoWillie, of Mississippi, died on the 3d from paralysis. He was a na? tive of this State, but removed to Mississippi almost twenty-five years ago. -The papers Bay Mr. Hoar give General Grant a library awhi e ago. He was one of a num? ber who made the present. They thought a little reading would not be a dangerous thing. -The War Department has been the means of restoring a truant husband to his wife. The woman applied for a pension, supposing her husband drowned, and was directed to Iiis place of eoncoalment in Tennessee. -The trustees of the Illinois Industrial Uni V3rsity have voted, fifteen to six, against the admission of women students. Tho members think it dangerous from tbe recent experiments in that direction by the students, resnlting in the expulsion of three students. -Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun, is urged by bis friends for collector of the port of New York. It is known that President Grant and Secretary Bout well held Mr. Dana in high esti? mation, and there is good reason tobolieve that the latter will succeed Mr. Smythe. -Frederick Douglass, George T. Downing, and others, have formed an association for the publication of a weekly newspaper in Wash? ington, in the interest of the colored people. It will be commenced at once, and will be under the editorial charge of Frederick Doug? lass. -The cause which has brought Mrs. Stowe's Florida plantation into the market is said to be th3 insecure tenure by which that lady holds it. It was confiscated during the war, bought , far a song, and now the heirs of the original j owners are demanding their property in the courts. -It ia now positively asserted that tha Presi- * dent will make no further important nomina- ] tions until the Tenure-of-ofilce matter is dis- j posed of by the Senate, holding ta the princi- , pie of his inaugural, that tke best way to ob- , tain the repeal of an obnoxious law is io rigid? ly enforce its provisions. -The President is said to have surprised an ' applicant for a certain office last Tuesday, with 1 the answer, "Why, that place,, sir, is not va? cant." The poor success met with thus far at ] the White House has turned the tide of appli- ( cants back upon the capitol, where the debate upon the Tennre-of-effice law ia watched with painful interest. -The visit of General Breckinridge to the capital of Kentucky was the occasion of a < popular ovation. He was visited by troops of j friends, and in the evening serenaded at the t residence of Colonel Stoddard Johnson, editor of the Yeoman, with whom he is sojourning. * The general responded to the compliment with ' a short speech, in which he avoided any alba- 1 sion to political topics. i -? new shade and ooalumo in Paris is called ] "prison door." lt is very brown claret, and is ( always trimmed with black. The costumo is tight to the figure, as prison doors usually are, and there are buttons of garnet all down the orosscut trimming; these battons are sugges? tive of heads of nails, and altogether the wear? er looks pondrons under a fluted diadem of tho same, with a pale flower drooping on one side as if no sunshine had warmed it. -The English journals all comment rather favorably on President Grant's inaugural. The London Times, however, thinks that 'Ht is like a rather homely and familiar royal speech, and the President allots his pithy and oracular par? agraphs to the various subjects of foreign and domestic interest very much after the model of tbe Old World." The Pall Mall Gazette is of opinion that "it boara the mark of a strong will, ?nd of an incisive, if somewhat narrow, intelleot." -The reception of ex-President Johnson in Lynchburg on Thursday was very enthusiastic. A committee appointed by public meeting of the citizens met tho ex-Presidontat Charlottes? ville, where there was quite an imposing popu? lar demonstration. This, however, was com? pletely eclipsed by the ovation nt Lynchburg. A grand banquet closed the proceedings. Tho ex-President will be publicly reoeived on his arrival at Greenville, Tonnossee, by the people 'ofthat place, among whom he resides. -Every visitor to New York will read with pleasure the following from the New York Tri? bune : "Everybody will, rejoice to know that there is, at length, some reasonable hope of escape from the exorbitant charges and insult? ing treatment of our city 'hook' drivers. Mr. James Fisk, Jr., has mode a bargain with a firm in New Hampshire to build him twenty five cabs of a French pattern, each of which is to accommodate four persons and their usual Amount of baggage. These he intends to sta? tion at the Erie Railway depot, ?nd they are to take passengers to every part of the city for fifty cents each. There is no reason why the people of New York should be forced to pay from two to ten dollars, according to the ne? cessities of the occasion and the presumption of drivers, for the use of a carriage half an hour; while in Europe, and even in some other oitien of the United States, much better ac? commodation may be secured for as many shil? lings. The relief cannot como too quickly." A Washington lettor of Thursday last, says : "The White House having boon thoroughly re? paired, refitted and refurnished, President Grant's family moved into it to-day. The mansion, which has been sadly deficient ia statuary and other articles of virtu, is not to be unadorned hereafter. To-day several oases of statuary, purchased through the agency of th? house of Browne A ?pauldlng, Noe Torfe, arriv?e. Among tue oiner woran o? art aro full-sized Indian figures in bronze, which are I to be plaoed in tho hall adjoining the main en? trance hall. A beautiful statuette of 'George Wasbiofet.on with his Hatchet,' 'Franklin and bio Whistle,' 'William Tell and his Son,' 'Napo? leon at Confirmation,' 'Lincoln,' by Romelli, and a fine representation of 'Freedom,' will all be placed io the east room or in the small re? ception rooms adjoining. The blue room is to have a splondid Louis XVI clock, with Beman lamps in ormolu and gilt on either side. The red room will have a real Sevres vase, with handsome gilt finish. Mr. Spaulding carno on with the articles, and is busily engaged pot? ting them in position. The articles cannot have cost less in tho aggregate than between $15,000 and $17,000." OHA IE L E S T ?N. MONDAY MORNING, MAUGE 22, 1W9. Good New? from Columbia. It will be seen bj our report of the pro? ceedings of the Legislature on Friday and Saturday, that the Chatham Railroad and the Port Royal Railroad bills have been laid over to the next regular session. These bills involved State subsidies, or guarantees, amounting to several millions of dellars, and we learn by a press dispatch that their defeat is due to the sturdy opposition of Governor Scott and a number of the mem? bers of the Legislature. Our readers knew that we do not mince words when, in our opinion, any public offioor deserves con? demnation. But we judge men by their notions, and net by their politics, and do net hesitate to say that, in fighting down these railroad jobs, the Governor and the members ef the Legislature have done their duty, and sonsulted the true interests of the State, which should gat out of debt, partially at least, before she adds to the weight of her railroad obligations. li? Revolution va Toujours I Senator Morton, of Indiana, has offered a joint resolution in the United States Sen? ate, which deolares that a majority of any State Legislature shall be sufficient to rati? fy any amendment to the Constitution of the United States, proposed by Congress, and that the resignation, or withdrawal, or refusal to act of the minority shall not af? fect the legality of that ratification. This resolution is aimed at the State of Indiana, where, in order to prevent the ratification of the Fifteenth amendment, without an appeal to the people, the Demo? cratic members of the Legislature resigned and left both Houses without a quorum. An election to fill the vaeanoies will take place on the twenty-fourth, and if the Dem? ocrats are sustained they hope to be able to throw the whole matter over to the new Legislature, whioh will be chosen in Octo? ber. The resolution of Senator Morten is an assumption that Congress can prescribe what shall be a quorum in a State Legisla? ture, and what shall be the forms of its proceedings. It proposes to override the constitutions of the States, whioh alone oan determine the manner in whioh their Legis? latures shall be regulated and controlled. And, if Congress oan make a majority a quorum, then it is equally within their power to say that one-tenth of the whole, er 1 aineteen-twentieths, or any other conve- 1 aient number, shall constitute a quorum. ] Ihe whole proposition is unconstitutional ( and revolutionary in its character. We have no idea that the resolution will be ?greed te by Congress, and if it were it j rrould have no binding foree. We take it, < aowever, as an indioation that with the I ?xtreme Radicals-La Revolution va toujours. What will be His Policy f ( Mr. Secretary Boutwell, as a member of l Congress, was a firm supporter of the op? pressive policy of laying heavy taxes upon he mass of the people for the "protection" ' >f a favored few. This was done in the . aterests of his constituents in Massaohu letts. But Mr. Boutwell now represents the . ?/hole count ry, and we may well ask whether ie will oontinue to advocate class legisla ion, or whether he will direot his efforts 1 o making the burden of taxation, as far as possible, uniform and equal T A free trade policy we do not expeot. ls long as so large a revenue must be j raised, and there is no well digested soheme ?f direot taxation, there must be protective j luttes. Yet there is room for vast improve- < meat, and in making the existing system more simple and less irksome the hew Sec? retary may be of great servioe to the whole people. Of course there will be opposition to any ohange. Last year more than a thousand artioles were relieved from internal taxa? tion; but the protectionists fought despe? rately against any reduction of duties, and even demanded that they should be raised. They were willing to take all that Congress would give, but they oonoeded nothing ia return. These people will stick to the same plan, they will plead heartily for more ''protection;" for it matters little to them that, while our revenue is at present drawn from taxes or duties on about 1600 arti? oles-the bulk of them raw materials and necessaries of life-England obtains as large a revenue from duties on less than 20 artioles. Will Secretary Boutwell point out to tho President the faults of the present cum brous system ? Will he show, him tbe in? jury done to trade by monstrous proteotive duties f Will he explain the faot that twenty or thirty artioles may be made to give us all the money we need? Will he mark the waste, the profligacy and the cheating which now exist, and lay before the President a plan whioh shall net offer a premium to dishonesty, and will raise the revenue without oppressing the people or interfering with and destroying industry and legitimate oomm?ree t We confess that we see nothing in Mr. Boutwell's public life tc justify us tn an? swering these questions is. ike affirmative. And yet there have been changes more marked and more sudden than this would demand. Massachusetts if not ali the world, and Mr. Boutwell knows it Heretofore, his position and his reputation hare de? pended on hie own State; now they depend upon the verdict cf his fellow-countrymen. Ag & V.tv Bs's-ss? prcicciio-Ut hs ?V??? never Dave ibe influence that would be wielded by a Cabinet officer who, w thout going lo extremes, appealed to the pocket nerve of the whole Union, and rested hie claims to distinction upon the increased comfort of ninety-nine one-hundredths of our people. This, to him, may seem an empty honor. Time alone will tell. And if Mr. Boutwell be disinolined to move, what prospeot is there that President Grant will give effeot to his own declara? tion that "iv prostrate commerce is to be "built up, and all industries encouraged ?" As a Western man, the Presiden! should bc something of a freetrader, and the friend of the ploughholder, rather than the friend of the bondholder. But in matters el finance he has joined his fortunes withjhose of the bondholding aristocracy; and if he showed an inclination towards a liberal commercial polioy by bis appointment ol Mr. Stewart, he has, if popular rumor maj be trusted, changed his plan of campaign in appointing Mr. Boutwell. We do not, however, regard it as a foregone conclusion that neither the President nor Mr. Boutwell will do anything to retrieve our commerce and encourage our trade. Their polioy, in this regard, has not been declared by works. Until it is, we shall.hope for what we most desire.
