Tho oase was argued by distin? guished counsel. -A flying machino, it is announced, has re Cent,y been invented by a citizen of Harris? burg, Pa., and the model is said to exhbit great ingenuity. The wings are fifteen feet, in length each, and together will cover 900 square feet of - ur face. Mrs. '.'aptain Maguire, who brought the ship Chieftain (of Philadelphia) into New York' from Calcutta, has been presented by the Under? writers of the vessel in Boston and Philadel . .: phia with a check for one thousand dollars, for services in 1 :uging the ship safely to port. - -A duel was fought in Augusta.

The railroad building and the snow embargo for a month have been to them this season what California emigrants and the Ida? ho and Montana mines have proved in former <years. All kinds of grain are stiling at ton cen a a pound in Salt Lake City, and butter at seventy-five cents to one dollar. A farmer brought in from the country six bushels of oats, and exchanged them for a suit of new ?alethea and a dollar over. [, -A number of versifiers liv? well in New York by supplying graveyard poetry to people who have been bereaved of their friends and relatives by death. They carefully peruse the newspaper obituary column every day, and select from it the places of death where they imagine a few dollars can be made by writing rhymes to soothe the feelings, or flatter the vanity of tender-hearted survivors. The price of one of these sympathetio effusions is often as low as twenty-five cents, and seldom higher than ten dellars. -Mr. George H. Miles, of Maryland, has j nat concluded an American comic opera, adapted from the Arabian story of " Abou Has? san." Mauagcr Ford, of Baltimore, has secured the piece, with the intention of organizing a special company for its representation in the . principal cities. "Abou Hassan" will be pro? duced at the Holiday-street Theatre, in Balti l'? moro, in the latter part of April. Musical critica speak in the highest terms of the bril? liancy, originality and power of the music. The libretto is daintily written, and Ts worthy of the author's known reputation as a dramatic writer. The comic element predominates in both music and dialogue. -"Mack" tells an unpleasant story of Grant on the authority of " old mau Blair." The latter says he took pains to inform Grant that General F. P. Blair did not wish to embarrass the adininistration by holding office nader it, and that he would resign the posit ion of Pacific Railroad Commissioner in a month or sooner if Grant wishel to make a chance before that time. Up to this time Grant knew nothing 6f Blair'* holding an office under government, but whcn'it was brought to his notice in this way he immediately ordered bia removal, deny? ing even the privilege of voluntary resignation. The same day that General Frank Blair, o? the Federal army, was ihus graciously removed, General Longstreet, of the Confederate army, was appointed to a fat place. -The New Orleans Times has the following : "Ah distinctions of color being abolished, we can freely and frankly say that no two more respectable or capable men from this State have applied for a recognition of their merits and services to the cause of Radicalism than B. F. Joubert and Major Dumas. They are natives of Louisiana, of the ancient popula? tion, and if not of pure Caucasian .stock, ono of them at least, Mr. Joubert, would pass everywhere for a white gentleman, far ?hove tho ordinary status of those who demean them <selves so far as to seek a public office. The other, Major Dumas, ia an octoroon, the son of a wealthy proprietor of this city, and a gentle? man of education and refinement. They are both, Jonbert and Dumas, men of culture and travel, who speak two languages well, who have Che reputation of being honest and hon i orabl* nen in all their transactions, and who -would fill any of the Federal offices in the city far better than the majority of the white seek* ors thereof." ? -It appears from a communication sent to Congress by the Secretary of War, that, anissa .otherwise provided by law, the existing rates of pay of enlisted men of the army will cease from and after the 90th of August next, and after that dat? a return will be made to the jateo axed prior to the late war, which wat for privatos of cavalry, $12 per month, and pri? vates of infantry, ?ll, instead of $16 per month, ! as now allowed to both of these classes. On this question, the Faymaster-Genoral thinks that the present rates of pay should bo allowod uutil tho end of tho current enlistment at least, whilo General Sherman says in a note that ho does not believe that Congress wishes to reduce the pay of privates, and recommends that Congress bo asked to pass a Joint resolu? tion extending tho time for tho loduotion of pay for one or two years longer., -The Washington correspondents say that tho Georgia Governor Bullock deliberately pro? cured the Senate of his State to reject the Fif? teenth amendment, in order that he might use that rejection as an argument for the expul? sion of the State from the Union; and he is now canting the result of his own work as a reason why bis State shoald he handed over again to the boys in blue and the negroes. This is all understood to be a dodge on Bul? lock's part to be continued in as Governor by act of Congress, knowing that he would bo de? feated if ever a vote could be had. He is will? ing to degrade a State by exalting himself. General Grant is known to have a very strong aversion to this Georgia orowd, from Bullock np, and to have declared that as Georgia is in the Union she cannot be put out, bet that all deficiencies in her case must be remedied with? in the Union and with her still in it. A first veto vat J, with reason, bo expected upon this Georgia grab-game, if it goes throngh the Congress. CHARL ESTON." MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1869. Tine Close of the Session. We did net suppose that the General As? sembly of South Carolina; elected by uni? versal suffrage and under the restrictions of the Fourteenth Constitutional Amend" mont, would be in a hurry to adjourn. The body was chiefly made up of oolored bar? bers, tailors, carpenters and plantation bands, whose servioea in the field and at the anvil were worth, perhaps, ten dollars a month "and found." In the Legislature they drew six dollars a day and mileage, besides perquisites; so that it is not sur? prising that they amused themselves for seventeen weary weeks in doing their beet to turn topsy-turvy all that the former session had left of respectable and venerable in. the State. Happily, however, they have adjourned at last; leaving the tax-payers one hundred and seven new Acts and twen? ty-one new Joint Resolutions. We ought, maybe^ to thank the General Assembly for not remaining in session all the year round, and it is doubtless captious oritioism to suggest that it was hardly worth while for the State to pay at the rate of $1100 each for bills to inoorporate oolored fire companies, to inoorporate the oolored Amateur Literary: and Fraternal Associa? tion, the oolored Longshoremen's Protective Union Association, and the like. It is true that the old Legislatures of South Carolina, in whioh her people were represented by upright and intelligent white men, usually sate but three or four wo eke, at a o oat of some $40,000. There is something, how? ever, to be paid for the privilege of being represented by white adventurers and ig? norant negroes, and, aa the warda of the nation held the purse strings, we ought to thank our atara that they did not bleed us to the tune of a oool half million. Grum? bling may be very unreasonable and show a very poor appreciation of the blessings of the situation; but \y must be said that the white people of the'State do object moat emphatically to a legislative session in whi?h ao much is done for the Radical tag rag and bob-tail and ao little for the white people of the State. The li?t of Acts and Joint Resolutions ia a curiosity in ita why, giving unmistakable evidenoe of the cupidity and timidity of the combination party. There ia an Aot to make an appropriation for the pay and mileage of members, an Aot to provide for the conversion of State securities, an Aot authorizing the pawning of State bonds, an Act to authorize a loan for the relief of the Treasury, and the huge Appropriation bill of which we have already apoken. This ia the financial work of the session. Five Aota to give the members and officers their pay, and to aeeure the State officials from running short of Veuve Clicquot and Pat? de Foie Oras, until the General Assembly oan meet again and vote another sup? ply 1 And the ohronio fright of the "Hon? orable Senators and Representatives," caused by the romances of Tolbert and H?ge, and the proclaiming and swearing of that excellent individual, R. K. Scott, Gov? ernor, found its expression in the Aot to organise the militia, and the Joint Resolu? tions authorizing the Governor to purchase two thousand rifles of the moat improved j pattern, with the necessary ammunition, and to employ an armed foroe for the pre? servation of the peace. Only think of it I Two thousand rifles and ah armed foroe to keep the peaoe in South Carolina. Why, if one tithe of what Soott and his minions say were true, one hundred thouaand rifles with one hundred thousand WHITS men to bear and uae them oould not keep peace in the State. The legislators supped full of hor? rors. Lank Leslie stood aghast in speechless tranoo, To arms! cried Bosemoa, and oouched his quivering lanae. I So they provided for the immediate anni? hilation of every men in buokram, and re? lieved their overwrought feelings by remov? ing the oounty seat of Barnwell to Black? ville and ratifying the Fifteenth amend? ment. When we take from the long roll the Aota we have named, the Acts of incorporation whioh could have been inoluded in one gen? eral law-and the sets ?and resolutions whioh were dir ec* jd to remunerating some? body, for something he had done or prom? ised to do, there is left but a beggarly array of measures to represent the publio work of the sesaion. Omitting the railroad billa, there are about a dosen Aota and Resolutions of a public character, !a return for all thia labor and profuse expenditure of money. Whipper, the negro lawyer, waa, elected to oodify the laws of the State, in company with Mr. Corbin, the United States District Attorney and Senator from Charleston. Elliott, ? negro, was ooaflrmed aa Assistant Adjutant and Inepeotor General of the Militia. A variety of fat planes Were con? trived and a number of salari?e In or eased. Th? white people of th? Stat? have abs? lutely nothing, but quite as much as they | looked for. In one particular, at least, the Legisla? ture has bargained without its host. The members knew absolutely nothing of what they were doing. They hacked and hewed, slashed and slew. Old laws were repealed and new ones enacted, proviso was heaped upon proviso, resolution upon resolution; until there is hardly a man in the State who knows what the law ie, where it be? gins, and where it comes to an end. Already the Homestead Law, and the Ordinance can? celling negro bonds, have been pronounced unconstitutional. The bill to declare and make valid tho Charleston eleotion is ?now before tho courts as being unconstitutional from beginning to end. There is soaroely an aot passed which may not be suooess fully attacked beoause of some flaw or ir? regularity. How many bills and resolut iona flatly violate Seotion 20, A rticle 2, of the State Constitution, which, declares that ?.Every aot or resolution having the force "of law shall relate to but one subj cot, and "that shall be expressed in the title ?" The whole j udioial system is in a muddle, and when the lawyers get fairly to work the courts will have their hands full, perhaps for years to oome. This is no exaggeration; for if, as O'Connell said, a coach and four could be driven through an aot of Parlia? ment, a whole railroad train might be driven through the Aots of the present Legislature of South Carolina. After all it is a comfort that the General Assembly has adjourned, and that the pe? culiarly favored and peculiarly flavored senators and representatives will not re? main in Columbia to vex us during the warm summer weather. Of course, they will meet again in the fall; but we feel that by that time there may be influences at work which will make them less violent, less injurious and less oostly, than during the last two sessions. _WanUL_ WANTED, A BOY TU DM IVE A WAG?
