LONDON, May 5.-Io the Houso of Commons, Sullivan, tho Attorney-General for Ireland, moved for leave to bring in a bill to disable the present Mayor of Cork from acting as a magis? trate. Ho gave a history of tho disloyal con? duct ol' tho Mayor up to its culmination in the late inflammatory speech at the dinner recently given in Cork to Wairenand Cast el lo, and said, after much consideration, the government had como to tho conclusion that the present step was advisable. Several mombers disapproved the course of tho government as i stretch ol constitutional power, an ordinary action of law being open to it for a remedy. 8ir John Gray, the member for Kilkenny, and Maguire, tho member for Cork, urged tho necessity of giving the Mayor full opportunity for meeting the charges made against him. They complained that the action of tho govern? ment was based only on the newspaper reports. Disraeli deprecated as imprudent the release of Fenian prisoners. If the action fer seditious language had been taken earlier the present step would not havo become necessary. He 1 would notaoppose the introduction of the bill, but urged the House to consider well the step proposed, and the constitutional questions in? volved. Fortesouo, tho Chief Secretary of Ireland, as? sured tho House that every facility would be given the Mayor and bis friends to reply. The government would take care not to give any ground for complaint of injustice in the man? agement of Irish affairs. He intimated they intended to propose the Appointment of a com? mission to investigate the conduct of the police in the lato disturbance at Londonderry. After further remarks from Messrs. Glad? stone and Gathorne Hardy in support of the measures, leave to introduce the bill was granted, and it was read the first time. A copy ot'tho bill and notice of its second read? ing was ordered to be served on the Mayor of Cork. ^LONDON, May 7.-In the case of the United States vs. Cohn McRea, the Chancollor declar? ed that uo endeavor WBB made by the com? plainants to enow that the money or goods be? longing to the United Stales, iu its own right, was distinguished from its right a? wuecuuaur of the Confederate Government.

THE LAST RAIL,-CABINET QUESTIONS-THE GEOR? GIA BUSINESS-MBS. DB. WALKER PANTS FOB A POSTOFFICE. WASHINGTON, May 7.-The last rail of the Pacific Railroad will positively be laid on Mon? day. The appointment of a now Spanish Minister is indefinitely postponed. Hoar has returned and Grant receives a dele? gation of the Virginia Union League to-mor? row. Grant has appointed General Terrell, of In? diana, the Third Assistant Postmaster-General. This throw? Colonel Markland, whom the Pre.-ide nt nominated for that position, over? board. Virginia was considered in the Cabinet, but nothing was determined regarding the sepa? rate votes on the clauses or the time of elec? tion. Grant directs tho S ecretary of New Mexico to exercise the functions of governor until the political disabilities of Crow, a Confederate colonel, nominated by the President, are re? moved. Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker pants for the Alexan? dria (Va.) Post?nico. There has been a severe struggle over the Savannah postoffice, Cresswell undoubtedly nominated Sims, but the President refused his commission. It appears that Sumner and other extremists were desirous of filling tho Georgia Federal offices with negroes, thus re? buking the Legislature for expelling them. It is stated that Tift opposed Sims bitterly; and prominent Georgians pronounced the appoint? ment as mia . hievous. The Dyer court-martial has adjourned. The decision is unknown, but Dyer's exculpation is conceded. Thomas has departed for the Paoifle and Terry lor Atlanta. MEXICO. POLITICAL DEMORALIZATION OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY-TH E JUAREZ GOVERNMENT TN DAKOEB. OITT OF MEXICO, April 80.-Troops" have been sent to suppress a revolution in the State of Guerero. Some fighting is reported. The dissatisfaction with the Juarez Govern? ment is spreading. There is danger of the HUOCOB-J of tho seoesslon' movement in tho northern States on account of tho political struggle between tho government and the op? position. Mutual charges of corruption are made, and guards are placed over the res i dences of all ministers on account of theappro : i hension of assassination. TBE PACIFIC. SA? FRANCISCO, May 7.-Extensive prepara? tions were made at Honolulu to defeat the. re? ported conspiracy on the part of the coolies to murder their employers. An excursion train f ir tho oas torn end of tiro Central Pacific Railroad, with the commission-? ere, G ct err. or Stanford aid a number of guests, narrowly escaped doe traction from % tree across the track. The locomotive wa? demolished. SPARKS FROM TUE WIRES. General Hancock left Washington for Dacc tah last night. Tho Hartford Senate have adopted the Fif? teenth amondmeut, by a stiict party vote. General Leo lett Alexandria on tho cincel route for Lexington, Ya., via the Orange, Alexandria and Central Railroad. The Secretary of tho Treasury will purchase a million of flvc-tweoties, weekly, aod bas directed the Assistant Treasurer at New York to receive proposals therefor. FROM TUE STATE CAPITAL. Motel and the Militia-The Personnel ot the State Government-A Power Be? hind the Throne, Ace. (FROM OUB ?WM CORRESPONnBKT.) COLUMBIA, S. C., May G, 18G9.-It is the opin? ion hero that Adjutant-General Moses will only get negrocB to format is militia; for as regards the whites, "that occupation's gone," aud all now have "conscientious scruples." H. Spar nick has gone travelling ou the fat iuoomo of his sinecure; the Superintendent, of Education, J. K. Jillson, gets his $2000 for probably dream? ing about tho plans ho has m prospective to satisfy the freedmen's "whines about 'a-going to Cawlidge;" and wo are moro than willing that General Moses should shut up shop, und do away with "the big plumes and spirit-stirring drum." The muster days in the olden time, with pleuty of mean whiskey and broken noses, were bad enough, but the disastrous consequences that will result it this militia sjsteni is carried out will be tremendous. The Treasury Department costs $2600 more than it did under tli6 old regime. Treas? urer Parker's clerks fortunately understand his duties. Cardozo, Secretary of State, though colored, is the most intelligent, best qualified and most popular of all the State officers. He is well thought of by every ono heie, irrespec? tive of party. But little is hoing done in tho Executive De? partment since Governor Scott has left, yet his absence matters but little, as "the stay behind the throne"-old John Heart-has always done tho brain, as well as the manual work of the concern-writes all messages, documents of importance, &c., and the old Reynard uses Scott as a mere cat's-paw; an 1 it is conclusive to us that the latter is no Governor at all, from this plain reasoning : Scott must either bo Gover? nor de facto and de jure, or one or tho other-it is generaly admitted there is no Gov? ernor de jure, and since Heart is Governor de facto, the Ohioan is left out in the cold. Report says he is worth $800,000 and sought the gub? ernatorial chair only from ambitious motives. Query : Is Soolt's ambition ill-directed ? S. L. H?ge, T. J. Robertson and A. S. Wal? lace are here, and Assistant Adj utant-Geuoral Elliott (colored) attracts attention by dashing through tho streets in his double buggy at a bi'e&k-neck trot. The professors of the University of South Carolina are very sanguine that th? institution will outride tho storm. Professor John Le Conto has arrived safe, by way of Panama, in. San Francisco, and writes with unbounded en? thusiasm aUOUt that gloat wuutijr. The iron palmetto tree, erected by tho Stale in honor of tho dead who fell in Mexico, has been very muoh injured by United States sol? diers and others, who have been knocking off tho letters for relics; it ought to be stopped. Very few know the object of a brick column fronting the western opening of the Universi? ty ; it is to tell the deviation of the magnetic needle from the true Northern meridian, which increases or decreases east or west, according to almost regular periods of time. This devi? ation is very imp jr tau t in surveying, and is determined by arranging a compass on a mar? ble stand some seventy-five yards from the column, then notice the number of degrees between the direction of the needle and a straight hoe between the marble and a black Uno on the southern side of the brick column. The ground formerly ocoupied by the build? ings cf the Arsenal Academy has been en? closed, and is now being used by Governor Scott as a garden. The Supreme Court is now on the Sixth Cir? cuit, and will adjourn to Charleston after bear? ing the two remaining circuits. HALIFAX. ELVE RIDGE RAILROAD COMPANY.

Mosers. Gould and' Lane con? niving with bini. Lane oas brought a similar snit, on his own behalf, and the damages olaimed by the twain are something in excess of ? million of dollars. THE S CU UETZ ENEES T. LAST DAY OF THE GREAT FESTIVAL. .Distribution of the Primos ?nd Crown? ing of the King. The fact that y OM ter day won ld be the con? cluding day of the Sohuetzenfest, drew to? gether the largest orowd that has evor boon soon at the Platz. The trains, omnibuses, pri? vate and public vehicles were tasked to the utmost to convey the immense number of visi? tors. These were not confined to the Teutonic clement. Ali nationalities and all classes flock? ed to tho gay scene to enjoy the occasion, and witness or participate in its joys and amuse? ments. Tho oity waa deserted; many stores were closed, and avenues of trade v. ero as still and quiet as on Sunday. THE MORNING Was spent in various pastimes; the Stenger bund and tho Teutonia sooioties sang; the Turners, adult and juvenile, contorted them? selves into indescribable shapes; the music of the band and the harps tilled the air with de? lightful sounds, and oven tho quivering loaves on the overarching branches were inolined to put on airs. About midday the grounds began to fill up rapidly. Every effort was made to cause tho last day to be an epoch in the history of the Charleston Sohuetzen. Sugar eating, milk feeding, Back racing, greasy pole climb? ing, mill walking, and sliding on the waterfall caused dense masses to congregate wherever these sports were in process. The greasy poll was successfully climbed by a white boy, who cleaned the hoop of its prizes as he did last year. The very best spirit prevailed, and all seem? ed to enjoy themselves. It would be unwise even to guess at t he amount of lager consumed. Kegs and barrels were emptied and replaced, and these again ran dry. Yet, to the honor of the Sch?tzen be it said, there was not one ri? otous person on the ground. So much for la? ger, with our good Germans to drink it. No unpleasant incident jarrad the harmonies of the day. The participants wore all too good humored to get vexed with anybody. In the matter of courtesy, the German hosts were masters of the situation, and dispensed their heartfelt hospitality in a free and whole-souled manner. The shooting ceased at fonr o'clock, and a brass howitzer made the fact known in stento? rian tones. The committee immediately set to work making ont the prize list. It was com? pleted by half-past 5 o'clock, when there was a general assembling around the tribune, where the Songerbund and the Teutonia and their visiting friends sang a parting song as a pre? lude to the GENERAL DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. Captain Bleichers then introduced Professor H. D. Meier, saying that he had enough to do without making the speech of the occasion. Professor Meier delivered an eloquent ad drees in German, speaking of the festival and tho glory of the occasion, and tho success that had attended it from beginning to end. fie continuod for Borne time in his usually impas? sioned strain, passing in review the main and incidental features of the festival, not forget? ting handsome allusions to the visiting Schuet ncai ne was uixjuenuy tvua iou ?Ly api>w.<L>,i. Filling the Schuetzen horn, which can hold two bottles of wine, he drank to the health of the King. Ho then addressed the masses in English, and said be regretted ho could not speak that language as fluently as he would like, and give expression to the sentiments that filled his heart. He thanked the people of Charleston tor the generous support they had given the festival. They had sustained il in a manner that would never be forgotten. He was glad to meet Germans Crom all parte of tho country under one banner, but the best banner to him was the banner of "bee labor.' Professor Meier then announced the prizes af follows : PASSIVE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB. J. H. Qappoldb, one piano cover; R.S. Bruns, two boxes cigars. The latter gentleman wai loudly oalled on for a speech. After mnoh en treaty and loud dalis from the crowd he yield ed, and remarked, th it he wished to than! them in behalf of the Amer ic in people for th Fest, and regretted that ho could not speak fr them in the language of the vaterland. Hi hoped that the dub would on the next festiva contain hundreds of natives as members. Pro fessor Meier's remarks, he said, were worth; of the great German nation of which he was i true type.

Goetjen, tho bodvJp?rieh made bim king. As he ascended the tv?-uno. Professor Meier called for three cheers for "our king," but only a "Sohuetzen Sing." The king was accompanied to the tribune by his queen, Miss M. Sahlmann, and her maids of honor, M?BS C. Cordes and Miss M. Muller. Ex-President Spengler, of tho Washington corps, addressed the new king, and said it gave him great pions mo, as a stranger, to present the diamond studded insig tia, (to be worn for one year,) a present from Mr. George A. Wil? liams, of New York; also, the gold hunting case watch, from the Jersey Schuetzen Corps. The king said ho could not make a . speech, but Professor Meier would return his thank J, whioh he did in a very appropriate and handsome- manner. The Schlief zen partl-colored sash with the raised gold thread script tatters, "Schuetzen Eonig, 1869,". was placed across the king's breast, after whioh he placed the floral orown on the head of his queen. Captain Melchers called for "three cheers," which were given for the queen with a will, and a "tiger." The Schuet? zen horn was then filled with Bbine wine, and the king "whet his whistle" and handed it to those near him, who drained it to tho bottom. Captain Stone, a visitor, returned Bis thanks for the attention that had been shown him as sn officer of the United States Navy. . THE BALLOON ASCENSION. During the day a large balloon wi? sent up, and was followed by the eyes of thousands, until it was lost to sight. THE TAUTING. When the shades of night fell, inc booths and grounds w'.-ro illuminated with innumera? ble Chinese 1 interns, hung m the trees and amidst the flags, giving a soft li"?V-- to the scene. .Later there was a display of fireworks, and not until near midnight did the merry? making cease. So ended the most successful festival which Charleston oas known, JU.^V ?mi int one blot on the record from first to last, not one hitch in the arrangements. The committee covered themselves with glory, and the Sohuetzen know that this year they have had a "Volksfest" indeed, in whioh all people joined and with which all wore pleased. And if we may so single out one feature as the crowning merit of tho whole, it is that a la ly was as safe at the Schuetzen Platz as m her own parlor, and would have found, at need, m every Schuetzen a protector as in every German a friend. The Feat of 1869 is over. Hurrah for the German Schuetzen 111 A F F A I JCS ZN TUE STATE. Fairfield. On Thursday there was a teriflo hail storm in Winnsboro'. The large brick stable belong? ing to Dr. Thomas Maddonwas blown down. Trees were uprooted, fences demolished and bricks from chimneys strewn in every direction. Some of the hail stones Was nearly as largo ai a pigeon egg. Andersen. The following are the Democratic nomina tiona for the county : Bev. John IC Garfish for school commisioner, and G. W. Hammond for coroner. Thc Intelligencer says last Saturday aftornooi there waa a violent storm. The r?*in pour ei down in torrents, and was followed by a seven hail storm. Trees and fencing wore blowi dawn, but we hear of no serious damage. On sales-day not many persons were present and the day was unusually quiet. The sherfi sold some property, but in most instances w< can hardly tlx the valuation, as the Homes teat law renders the bid merelv nominal. On tract containing 200, brought 1560. and anothe tract containing 126 acres was bid off at $850 There was no homestead exemption on eithe of these tracts. The COVAD ty Treasurer sold i half-acre lot in this village, under a tax execu tien, for $285. No improvements, fencing o advantages beyond location. These prices in dicate that the value or property is yet un settled. Banter. *. A severe hail storm occurred Tbursda ?fternoon between Middleton and Claremon Stations on the railroad. The Court of General Sessions and Commo Pleas, Judge Green presiding, commenced o Tuesday morning last. Light frosts were seen in several portions c the district on Monday a id Tuesday mon ings last.

May 8_1* MW LET US PROTECT OURSELVES_ The physical structure of the strongest human be? ing is vulnerable every a here. Our bodies are en? dowed by nature with a certain negative power, which protects them, to some extent, from unwhole? some influences ; but this protection is imperfect, and cannot be safely relied on in unhealthy rcgious, or under circumstances of more than ordinary dan? ger. Therefore, it is wisdom, it le prudence, it is common sense to provide against such contingencies, by taking an ANTIDOTE IN ADVANCE; in other words, by fortifying thc system with MOST ETI li R'S STO? MACH BITIEH8- the most complete protective against all the epidemia, and endemic maladi s that aaa ever been administered in any country. As a remedy for Dyspepsia, there ts no meJioine that will compare with it. Whoever suffers the pangs of in? digestion, anywhere on tho face of the c.irth where HOSTETTER'S ?TOMACH BITTERS can be pro? cured, does so voluntarily ; for, as surely as truth exists, this invaluable TONIO and ALTERATIVE would restore his disordei ed stomach to a healthy condi? tion. To tho nervouo it lo alon napniially recom? mended, and in cases of confirmed constipation lt also affords speedy and permanent relief. In all casca of fever and ague tho BITTERS is mor? potent than any amount of quinine, while the moat dangeiouff caeca of bilious fever yield to ita wonderful properties Those who have tried the medicine will never use another, for any of the ail? ments which the HOSTET TER BITTERS professes to subdue. Tc those who have i.ot made the ex? periment we cordially recommend an early appli? cation to the BITTERS wheuever they are stricken by dlaease of the digestive organs. a'ay 8 * DAC 1 MW NINETY J?$YS AFTER THIS DATE application will be made for the renewal of Certifi? cates of FOUR SHARES in the South Carolina Rail read and Bank, issued to Dr. JOHN P.
