Whether they gravitate in that direction by a natural law, and are des? tined one day to obey the centripetal force, we are not concerned to inquire. At present they prefer confederation under the British monarchy, and they ought to know their own interests." -The bill introduced in the United State? Senate, on Monday last, by Mr. Sawyer, pre? scribing an oath to be taken by persons who participated in the rebellion but are not dis? qualified from office by the Fourteenth amend? ment, onact i that, instead of tbe oath prescrib? ed by act of June 2d, 1362. they shall take that of the act of July 11th, 1868. Ihe latter oath i s as follows: "I,-, do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend tbe Con e titntion of the United States against all ene? mies, foreign and domestic; tbat I will bear true faith and allegiance to the sam?? fiat I take this obligat on freely, wi .bout any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office in which I t<m about to enter. So help me God." . -Tho influence of Senator Fenton in the matter of revenue appointments has brought down upon him tbe righteous wrath of some of his enemies in his own party who recently seemed inclined to pass by the grave charges of corruption against the ex-Governor. Tho "New York Evening Po.- brings the ponderous weight of ita denunoii Jon to crush the new senator just as he is about entering upon the enjoyment ot the privileges of a position which ia alleged to have oost him no small sum. The Post publishes and emphasizes the recent tes? timony before the railroad committee at Albany, in whiob it was stated that $20,000 was paid to a friend of Fenton on an agreement that the Erie Railroad bill sumid be signo 1 the samo day-which was done within three honre. This conduct the Post calls "such as an honest administra? tion of the laws would look upon with honor, and the very suspicion of which he would repel with indignation.*1 But since there is a great deal moro than suspicion in Fcutou's case sworn evidence in fact-tho Post suggests that tho Senate ought to expel the honorable gen? tleman from New Y.<rk; but since there ia no possibility of such au impartial act, it demands that at least the President *ill give orders to exclude Fouton from all intercour?O with the departments. Ibis is evidently whore the shoe pinches. Fouton baa had altogether too much to say about appointments, and tba cor ruptio i of hisreoord, which was so smoothly covered up, is now brought out in all its mon? strosity. -Tho New York Herald pitches heavily Into what itcails tue ''body-matching ring" of hat oity. It sais the ty stem by which the present "ring." composed of ono or moro corners, several doctors, apothecaries and undertakers, are enriching themselves at the expense of tho public, is as sbamalessly v.lo as it is ?n'qiii itouoly barelaceu. The offioe is a feed office. To multiply tho fees is the sole aim. For every witn o i so much is allowed. To get as many witnesses ad possible ou tbe oaso, no matter how unimportant or corroborativo their testimony, ts the first object. To carry this out in every caso involves time and laboi, and ft short way of getting at it is said to oe to put down as many witnesses as the case will de cont)v stand, una thus combine skilful strate, with dispatch. Let a iatal railroad casual orour. Tho company are not anxious to ntu'clcd in a rouud tum of damages for t carelessness of their employees, and so t affair is all amicably arrangod at the inquci Acting upon the ?ame defensive principle taking timo by the forelock, abortionist physicians guilty of malpractice, carole druggists, positive prnotitbners of the Luci tia Borgia soho il of poisoning, and even mr derers, may stay the uplifted hand of justi and escape the penalty of their crimes. Atr ciously wicked and criminally unpardonable all Ibis is, there is another pbaso of vilo d pravity, for the sake of multiplying their pee niary spoils, still to be exposed. This is tl subject of post-mortem examinations. F every post-mortem examination there is i lowed forly dollars, and hence the importan in a pecuniary point of view to have as mai post-mortem examinations as possible. Tl Herald concludes with the assertion th wherever tho opportunity offers, for the sal of forty dollars, this ring, in the pretend? interests of scieuce, barbarously outrage tl feelings of sorrowing relatives, and, in fa( every decent feeling of humanity. Christi; burial they deny the dead. They are little el than body-snatchers. CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1869. Tbe Irish Church Establishment. The vote by which the bill to disestablia the Irish Church passed its second readin in the British House of Commons, makes certain that the third reading will be atter ded with no difficulty, and that the bill wi pass substantially as it was introduce Mr. Disraeli is not likely to be more pei distent in his hopeless opposition than i neceesary for maintaining the organizatio of his party. The power of the Minister is too great to be overcome. In the Libe ral phalanx there is BO sign of disintegra tioo, and none know better than the "won "drous boy" how to kick against politico pricks with judicious waut efforce. Th Ministers have won their first victory-i victory due no less to the genius of Mr Gladstone than to the intrinsic merit of thi scheme which he proposed. Every political coterie and every relig ious denomination had its own infallible plan of disestablishing or disendowing the irish Church, without interfering improp srly with the rights of interested persons S'o two sets of men agreed in their opin ons; while the Tory press defied the Min? sters to bring forward any measure thal ;ould stand the test of hostile critioism, >r even satisfy the demands of their own supporters. But the opponents of the ad? ministration counted without their host. They forgot, as perhaps they had some rea? son to do, the calibre of tho men with whom they had to deal. Their wishes led hem sadly astray. Judging Mr. Gladstone S-y his singular oonduct at tho hustings du? ring the late canvass, they were tempted to )elieve that the old spell had lost its power, ind that no practical or practicable solu ion of the Irish question would be submit? ed to them. Mr. Gladstone, however, has it onoe disappointed his foes and satisfied he most sanguine expectations of his nen Ja. In a speech which threw into the ihade his famous budget spceeoh, as Chan? cellor of the Exchequer in the Palmerston Cabinet, he explained th? r>*"??"*oit/na BI 'HM irish Church bill, analyzing, describing and tluoidating the whole subject, with an f>!o luenoe worthy of his fame. Nor did Mr. .i lads tone rely on the magnetic influence of lia manner, or upon the charm of his words, br the success of the measure whioh he ntroduoed. It oould alford to stand alone. There was no need of rhetorio to make it atractivo, as a glanoe at its provisions will ?how. Mr. Gladstone proposes to disconnect the uhurch of Ireland from the crown, at onoe ind entirely, on the 1st January, 1871. All ecclesiastical courts, laws and corporations ire to be dissolved on that day, and the irish Bishops are to leave the House of [lords and go to their flocks. The Church if Ireland will thenceforth be, what every thuroh should be, a voluutary organization, -staining its churches, parsonage-houses ind burial grounds, on engaging to devote hem to their appropriate uses. A commis? sion, appointed by Parliament, is to take til the other property of the church, amounting to ?16,000,000, and to appropri? ?e this to the payment of the value of "vested interests;" that is to say, to pay off ?he clergy and all their subordinates who lave a claim to salaries from the church for ife, to compensate every person injured by :he law, including even the temporary cu? rates thrown out of employment, and to en low those institutions which have hitherto received annual assistance from the church. All these "compensations" will consume about ?8,000,000, leaving about $10,000,000 to be disposed of for the benefit of Ireland at the will of Parliament. Out of this sum it is proposed to institute asylums for luna? tics, idiots and the deaf and dumb and slind, county infirmaries for the sick, re? formatories for young criminal?, and a 'und to supply poor individuals with nurses This is the wholo pinn; a plan worthy of Bright and Lowe and Gladstone; a plan which has kindled the enthusiasm of the English masses and has filled with cotifu lion thc adversaries of thc government . Che government is now stronger than ever >efore, and need uot fear thc defeat which iwaits the bill when it reaches the House ?f Lords. There is now a popular feeling n favor of justice to Ireland lhat will not ie trifled with. This the hereditary charn? ier cannot overcome, nor can it check for ong a measure upon which thc publio mind s bent. When thc Irish Church biil becomes a aw, it will be an earnest of good will to vards Ireland. But there is more than this o be done. There aro more reforms to nake .".nd more abuses to remedy; for until Ireland is treated in every particular as England and Scotland are, there will be no cessation of agitatiou, and, if the sign: of ;he times oount for anything, the Irish, when they have obtained all that England ;an give them as a part of the British Em? pire, will move forward another step and lemand their independence. AU thai Elig? and gains by disestablishing the Irish Church is a few years of res t And thou he Irish Republio ! White Immigration to South Caiollnn. The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says, that a large number of foreigu emigrants have left New York within the last few days to try their fortunes in the Southern States. A majority of them were young and healthy men and women from Qermany, and the remainder were Irish, English and French. South Carolina was the destination of most of them, and in most cases the emigrants hud cometo this country under the auspices of some of the Southern emigrant compa? nies who are trying to attract labor and capital from Europe, to aid in the develop? ment of the Southern country. The greater number of these immigrants will, probably, settle in the upper districts of this State, where they will have every opportunity of winning, by their labor, houses and lands of their own. They will be warmly received, for we feel more and more every day how much we need hardy and honest white men to help us in making what changes may be necessary in our agri? cultural system, and in controlling and directing the colored laborers, upon whom we mainly rely. In Newberry District, where there are several hundred German settlers, the experiment has been perfectly successful, and the thrifty ?Teutona have shown that they will become a valuable ele? ment in the community. We have room for hundreds of thousands of industrious white men. South Carolina is broad enough to give to each of them a quiet and happy home. And for each immigrant there shall be a strong clasp of the hand, and a warm and hearty welcome. The Spanish I ri rone. Our European telegrams announoe as cer? tain the approaching proclamation of the Duke of Montpensier as King of Spain. This Prince is the fifth son of Louis Phil? ippe, formerly King of the French. He was boru at Neuilly, near Paris, in 1824. His cunning father married him in 1846 to the Spanish Princess Louisa, the sister of Queen Isabella II, and at the same lime brought about the Queen's mariiage to her imbecile cousin, Francis of Assissi. Louis Philippe supposed that this would be a childless marriage, and that the children of thc Duke of Montprnsier would accordingly in? herit the Spanish throne. His calculation has proved erroneous in every way. He himself died in exile, und for more than twenty years none of his family have seen their native country. Isabella il has number of childi en, and yet the old King's principal end will be essentially gained when Montpensier himself puts ou the crown of Spain, with a reasonable chance, as things go, of transmitting it it to his pos? terity." Something .Vow. The New York Citizen announces that the prospectus of a paper, to be called The Im? perialist, has been issued in that city. Its creed, aooording to the prospectus, is "rev? olutionary." Its mission is to prepare the minds of the American people for the revolution, already begun, whioh is to ter? minate in the Imperial Governmeut. It de? clares that the national faith- in the keep? ing of the populace will be sullied by re? pudiation; that "the Reuublia m??- t-. "leBsnesB, corruption, insecurity to person "and property, robbery of the public credi? tors, and civil war; and that the Empire "means law, order, security, publio faith, "and peace." This journal, says the Citi? zen, is likewise to advocate General Grant as Emperor. THE SOUTH CAROLINA INSTITUTE, organ? ized as it was to promote the welfare . " the State in its mechanical, agricultural and manufacturing pursuits, may, we think, with propriety undertake to invite and nom? inate delegates from the seaboard districts and from Charleston, to attend the Agricul? tural Convention callad to meet in Colum? bia on 28th April. A meeting of the di? rectors will be held to-night, and we hope that tbey will consider this suggestion. WE PRINT this morning, three acts of importance passed by the General Assem? bly, at the session just closed. All acts of a general character and of publio import? ance, passed by the Legislature, will be published in THE NEWS as rapidly as official cowies can be obtained. SaftMrs, gurnfss, (Etc.
