He was at one time treasurer of the Oity, and also cashier of the Bank of Savannah At the time of his death he field the position of cashier of tho Merchants' National Hank -In an article on the British American provinces, the London Times ignores the dis s atisfaction with the existing confederacy and ajs : "If the mass of the people should here? after desire to enter the American Union, o* whioh there' is no proof or symptom, England will assuredly not lift a finger to prevent it ' and, unless the mass of the population should desire it, the United States can have no wish .;-~to receive them. Whether they gravitate in that direction by a natural btw, and are des tined one day to obey the centripetal force vre are not concerned to inquire. At present they prefer confederation under the British monarchy, aud they ought to know their own interests." -The bill introduced in the United States 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 Fo ir tee nth amend . mont, enact* that, instead of the oath preaorib 6 ed by act of June 2d, 1862. they shall take that _of the act of July 11th, 1868. the latter oath i s as follows: "I,-, do solemnly swear or ':;. i affirm that I will support and defend the Con stitutiouoi the United States against all ene . mies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligat on freely, wi thout any mental . ' res ar vation or purpose of evasion; and that I . will well and faithfully disoharge the duties of the office in which I am about to enter. So help me God." -The influence of Senator Fenton in the matter of revenue appointments has brought down upon him the righteous wrath of some of "his enemies in hie own party who recently seemed inclined to pass by the grave oharges of corruption against the ex-Governor. The .Now Tork Evening Post brings the ponderous weight of its denunciation to crush the new senator just as he is about entering upon the enjoyment ot the privileges of a position which is alleged to have cost him no small sum. The Post publishes and emphasises the recent tes? timony before the railroad committee at Albany, in whioh it was stated that 420,000 waa paid to a friend of Fenton on an agreement that the Brie Railroad bill should be signs I the same day-which was done within three hours. This oonduot the Post calls "such as au houost administra rion of the laws would look up JU with horror, and the very suspicion of which ho would repel with indignation." But since there is a great deal more than suspicion in Fenton's oase sworn evidence in fact-the Post suggests that the Senate ongbt to expel the honorable gen? tleman from New Yuk; but since there is no possibility of such au impartial act, it demands that at least the President will give orders to exolude Fentoo from all intercourse with the departments. This is evidently where tbs shoe pinches. Pontos has had altogether too much to say about Appointments, and the oor ruptio i of his record, which was so smoothly covered up, is now brought ont in all its mon? al trosity. -The New V0rk Hoi aid pitches heavily into What itoalls tbe "body-matching ring" of hat oity. It sa\ B the system by whioh the present "ring,- composed of one or more corners, several doctors, a pot li cooties and undertakers, are enriching themselves at the expense o! tbs publie, is aa shamelessly ?.le as it is m qui touoly barefaced. The office is a feed office. To multiply the fees is the sole aim. For .vary witni e J BO mach is allowed. To get as many witnesses aa possible on the ease, no matter bow unimportant or corroborative their testimony, ia the first object To carry this out in every case involves time ?nd labor, ead ?b abort way of setting at it u aaid to be to put down as many witnesses as the case will de UUUH? DI?UU, uuu muH uumoise BKUTIU strategy with dispatch. Lot a tata! railroad oaaualty occur. The oompany aro not anxious to be musted in a round BUUI O? damagos for tho carelessness of their employees, and so the affair is all amicably arranged at the inquest. Aoting upon the samo dofensivc principio of taking time by tb? torolock, abortionists, physicians guilty of malpractice, careless druggists, positive pra ct Himers of tho Lucre? tia Borgia school of poisoning, and even mur? derers, may stay the uplifted band of justice and escape the penalty of their crimes. Atro? ciously wiokod and criminally unpardonable as all this is, there is another phase of vile de? pravity, for the sake of multiplying their pecu? niary spoils, still to be exposed. This is the subj oct of post-mortem examinations. For every post-mortem examination there is al? lowed forty dollars, and hence the importance in a pecuniary point of view to have as many post-mortem examinations as possible. Tho Herald conclu des with the assertion that wherever the opportunity offers, for the sake of forty dollars, this ring, in the protended interests of science, barbarously outrage the feelings of sorrowing relatives, and, in faot, every decent feeling of humanity. Christian burial they deny the dead. They are hu lo else than body-snatcbers. CHARLESTON. THU USD A Y MORNING, APRIL 1, 1869. The Irish Church Establishment. The vote by which the bill to disestablish the Irish Church passed its second reading in the British House of Commons, makes it certain that the third reading will be atten? ded with no difficulty, and that the bill will pass substantially as it was introduced. Mr. Disraeli is not likely to be more per? sistent ut his hopeless opposition than ie necessary for maintaining the organisation of his party. The power of the Minister? is too great to be overcome. In the Libe? ral phalanx there is no sign of disintegra? tion, and none know better than, the "won? drous boy" how to kiok against political pricks with judicious want of force. The Ministers have won their first victory-a riotcry due no less to the genius of Mr. Jladstone than to the intrinsic merit of thc icheme which he proposed. Every political coterie and every relig ous denomination had its own infallible )tsn of disestablishing or disendowing the irish Church, without interfering improp irly with the rights of interested perBons tfo two sets of men agreed in their op in on ? while the Tory press defied the Min stars to bring forward any measure tha jould stand the test of hostile criticism >r even satisfy the demanda of their o wi mpporters. But the opponents of the ad ninistration counted without their hosl They forgot, as perhaps they had some rea ion to do, the calibre of the men wit whom they had to deal. Their wishes le hem sadly astray. Judging Mr. Gladston jy his singular conduct at the hustings du ring the late canvass, they were tempted t nelieve that the old spell had lost its powei md that no praotioal or practicable sob tion of the Irish question would be subml ted to them. Mr. Gladstone, however, ht at once disappointed his foes and satisfit the most sanguine expectations of h friends. In a speeoh which threw into tl shade his famous budget spaeeoh, as Chat oellor of the Exohequer in the P aimers t< Cabinet, he explained the provisions of tl Irish Chnroh bill, analysing, describing ai ?lucidating the whole subject, with an el juanee worthy of his fame. Nor did M jlladstone rely on the magnetic inflaenoe Iiis manner, or upon the charm of his wort! Tor the suooess of the measure whioh 1 introduced. It could afford to stand alon lhere was no need of rhetoric to make attractive, as a glance at its provisions w show. Mr. Gladstone proposes to disconnect tl Church of Ireland from the crown, at on ?nd entirely, on the 1st January, 1871. ? 90olesiastioal courts, laws and oorporatio ire to be dissolved on thai day, and t [risk Bishops are to leave the House tords and go to their flocks. The Chur )f Ireland will thenceforth be, what eve ihuroh should be, a voluntary organiiatit retaining its churches, parsonege-hout and burial grounds, on engaging to dev? them to their appropriate uses. A comm sion, appointed by Parliament, is to ti all the other property of the chur amounting te ?16,000,000, and to appro; ate this to the payment of the value "vested interests;" that is to say, to pay the clergy and all their subordinates v bave a claim to salaries from the chnroh life, to eompensate every person injured lbs law, inoluding even the temporary rates thrown out of employment, and to low those institutions Whioh have hube reoeived annual assistance from the ohm all these "compensations" will const about ?8,000,000, leaving about $40,000, to be disposed of for the benefit of Irelan the will of Parliament. Oat of this sui is proposed to institute asylums for k tios, idiots and the deaf and dumb blind, county infirmaries for tbs siok, formatories for young criminals, an fund to supply poor individuals with nui This is the whole plan; a plan worth Bright and Lowe and Gladstone; a ? whioh has kindled the enthusiasm of English masses and has filled with oo sion the adversaries of tbs governm The government is now stronger than . before, and need not fear the defeat w awaits the bill when it roaches the I? of Lords. There is now a popular fee in favor of justice to Ireland that will be trifled with. This the hereditary cl ber oannot overcome, nor oan it chook long a measure apon whioh the pablio i Is beat. ? When the Irish Church bill beoon law, it will bs an earnest of good wi wards Ireland. Bat there is more than to be dons. There are more reform MftL. M M J ^'???k *- .....M.-.*? -* . -.

All that land galas bj disestablishing the Churoh is a few years of rest And tl the Irish Republic I ? willie im m leer ?t?o ii to South CmollnM, 1 Tho Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says, that a large number of foreign emigrants havo loft New York within tho last few days to try their fortunes in the Southern States. A majority of them were young and healthy men and women from Germany, and the remainder were Irish, English and Frenoh. South Carolina was the destination of mont of them, and in most cases tho emigrants had come to this country under the auspices of some of the Southern emigrant compa? nies who aro trying to attraot labor and oapital 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 odored laborer?, upon whom we mainly rely. Ia Newberry District, where there are several hundred German settieid, inc experiment has been perfectly successful, and the thrifty Teutons have shown that they will beoome 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 eaoh of them a quiet and happy Juouao. And for eaoh immigrant there shall be a strong clasp of the hand, and a warm and hearty weloome. Tue Spanish Throne. Oar European telegrams announce 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 Frenoh. He was born at NeuiJly, 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 timo brought about the Queen's marriage to her imbecile oouain, Franois of Assissi. Louis Philippe supposed that this would be a childless marriage, and that the children of the Duke of Montpensier would acoordingly in? herit the Spanish throne. His calculation has proved erroneous in every way. He himself died in exile, and for more than twenty years none of his family have seen their native country. Isabella ll has a number of children, and yet the old King's prinoipal end will be essentially gained when Montpensier himself puts on the orown of Spain, with a reasonable chance, as things go, of transmitting it it to his pos? terity. Something Slew. The New York Citiien announces that the prospectus of a paper, to be called The Im? perialist, has been issued in that city. Ita oreed, aooording to the prospectus, ls "rev? olutionary." . Ita mission is to prepare the minds of tho American people for the revolution, already begun, whioh is to ter? minate in the Imperial Government. It de? clares that the national faith, in thc keep? ing of the populace will be sullied by re? pudiation; that "tho Republic moans law "lessn688, corruption, insecurity to person ?and property, robbery of the public credi? tors, and oivil war; and that the Empire ?means law, order, seourity, public faith, ?and peaoe." This journal, says the Citi? zen, is likewise to advocate General Grant as Emperor. THB SOUTH CAROLINA INBTITOTK, organ? ized as it was to promote the welfare of the State in its mechanical, agricultural and manufacturing pursuits, may, we think, with propriety undertake to invite and nom? inate delegates from the seaboard distriots and from Charleston, to attend the Agricul? tural Convention called to meet in Colum? bia on 28th April. A meeting of the di? reotors will be held to-night, and we hope that they will consider this suggestion.'

All acts of1 a general character and of public import? ance, passed by the Legislature, will be published in Tum NEWS as rapidly as official oopies can be obtained. SriMes, garatas, Cit.
