Scheme-Thc Tide of Immigration Radical Discontent-Personal Gossip. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WASHINGTON, October 17. The South is to have a Pacific Railroad, with eastern connections at Charleston and Norfolk. Unlike the Northern Pacific roads, it is to be built without one dollar of financial subsidy from the United States, and, possibly, without even soliciting an acre of the public lands. The Congress can certainly do nothing less than to grant the right of way through the public do? main, and furnish the company with a charter restrictive of the government rights and pro? tective in its character to the stock and bond? holders of the road. The Southern road will not be a lobby scheme, and will have no conflicts in Congress against the cohesive power of public plunder. It is to **e the work of the capi? talist, unaided by Congress, and is in the hands of men in this country and in Europe who will furnish the sinews of the road. Yes? terday your correspondent was informed of all of the details of the great improvement. Suffice that it be said that it ls the intention of certain New York capitalists to place, this com? ing winter or next spring, a loan on the mar? ket for sixty millions of doilars in a coln or currency six per cent, bond, secured by a first mortgage on the road. Assurances have been I received that more than half of this amount I will be taken in Europe. The road is to have three eastern connections-the first with the Kansas Pacitlc Railroa. 4t Sheridan and thence east to St. Louis ; the second with Memphis via Little Rock, and then with two termini on the Atlantic seaboard-at Charleston and Nor? folk. The latter will be reached by modifications of existing railroad lines running east and southeast from the Mississippi River. Not only have the projectors of this line all the confidence needed from Eastern capitalists, but some of the wealthiest men in California are just as earnest for the Southern road, and will come forward, as they used to say In war time?, with men and means to build it. The coming winter, it is believed, will block up with snow the present overland line for three months, and demonstrate most conclusively the neces? sity of a great interior continental line south of the snow belt. The contractor who laid every foot of bron from Omaha to Promontory, a distance of eleven hundred miles, ls now .here, and says that the Southern road can be easily built and put ID running order in four years, and Is wining to risk the prophecy that the cars would go over that ine on the first of January, 1875. . * During the past week there have been quite a number of Immigration agents, capitalists, ?tx., passing forwards and backwards through Washington to the Southern States, looking out for places of settlement, the purchase of lands, Ac. In every instance they have funds which they intend to seek for liberal invest? ment. Just now Virginia seems to attract the bulk of this capital, for the conservative course of her new State Government and the death of carpet-bagism there have placed her C?a years ahead. A company of thrifty, well-to-do Poles have about decided to leave the cold climate of Minnesota and Wisconsin and buy one hun? dred thousand Acres of land near Lynchburg, Virginia. They are pleased with the land, thc climate and the people, and are already ar? ranging thefr plans to develop manufacturing interests. The Hon. Caleb Gushing is at the head of the Polish colonista, and represents them as a very intelligent, worthy, Industrious class, who will add to the material prosperity of any State In which they may be located. The Radicals here-even Forney-are not disposed to be very jolly over tit . recent elec? tions in Ohio and Pennsylvania; and lt they had carried those States by any respectable majority, their, rejoicing would have been dampened by what they call the President's cruel treatment of the Republicans of Penn? sylvania as exhibited in the recent appoint? ment of the unknown General Bclknap as Secretary of War. The Pennsylvanians felt quite confident, to rite day of the election, that they held a kind of life-estate on any vacancy In the War Office. The fact that Stan? ton and Cameron had been Secretary of War, and that ex-Speaker Grow and other Penn? sylvanians desired it so much, made them confident that they would not be disappointed. Besides, they say that the President acted cowardly lu delaying the appointment until the very morning after the Pennsylvania elec? tion. True, if he had selected the unknown Belknap from far off Iowa a week before the election, the little majority on which Geary has squeezed in as Governor would have been swollen the other way In favor of Asa Packer. But as mean as ls the obscurity of Belknap, the Radical element here are boastful that he ls a good substitute for General Sherman, and j will so manipulate the miUtary In Texas and Mississippi as to secure Radical triumphs there. From what can be learned, this seems to be true. The Yerger case was argued yesterday In the Supreme Court, In the presence of a large assemblage of spectators and lawyers. There ls a good deal of feeling in the case, and a va? riety of opinion among the members of the law as to what the court will decide. It is mostly agreed, however, that the resnlt*will be the same as in the Mc A rdle case-wherein thc court said it had no jurisdiction, and de? clined to pass upon the constitutionality of the military Reconstruction laws. It decides thus under the second clause of Section 2, Article :? of the constitution defiuitjg the jurisdiction of the court. Rut how plain is the very next clause, which stares iu the lace the illegality of the military commission which tried and convicted Yerger: "The trial of all crimes, except tn cases of impeadtment, shall bc bj jury ;'' or Article (J of the amendments. But I forget that I am living in Radical rule, and talking about the constitution ! Hon. Reverdy Johnson is in town, looking the picture of fine health, and bidding lair lo survive many years. Ile is still active in his law practice, and will argue a case before the Supreme Court next week. Senator Wilson came down here t ue other day and got the President to appoint his broth? er, a man named Caboth. post master at Dover. N. H. The salary is $2000 a year. Caboth is Wilson's real name, that of Wilson being an assumed one. ^ I The Supreme Court lawyers are of the opin? ion that the cotton tax will be declared uncon? stitutional, and that Congress will have to re? fund forty-two millions which they collected. A womans* parliament is to meet here in January to memorialize Congress to enajt female suffrage in this district. Speaker Blaine left town this morning. He says the coming session will be a loug and Im? portant one. and that the Cuban question and the financial issue will be the mest prominent. % The civil service bill stands it very fair chance of bcin<j made iuto a law during tue next ses? sion. Most of the beads of departments are for it. * Zt r.-.. TUE TRIAL OF TUE CITY OFFICERS. A DISGRACEFUL TRICK OF COUNCIL. The Alderman ir Ring in Secret Session Tiley Determine to Gag the Counsel for thc Accused-Manly Protest of Messrs. Miles & Wilkinson-An Alderman Badly Snubbed. An adjourned meeting of the City Council was held last evening for the purpose of hearing the charges preferred by Council against Mr. C. N. Averill, Flour Inspector, and Mr. P. C. Guerry, City Sheriff. At half-past 7 o'clock the Mayor took his seat. The Clerk then called the roll and the following auswered: Aldermen T. J. and E. W. M. Mackey, Greene, Geddings, Cunningham, Barrow, Voigt, Collins, Potter, white; E. P. and L. F. Wall, Brown, Hampton, Small McKinlay, colored. Council was then called to order. Among those present were ex-Mayor Clark, and Parker Pillsbury, (brother of the Mayor,) who is of thc opinion that "thc ballot may be the one thing needful for the negroes; but lt seemed to him that soap, sand, line-tooth combs, pots, ket? tles, chairs, tables, knives, forks, spoons, decent food, cooking and clothing, glass windows, and even looking glasses, should at least go side by side, If they may not precede the rights of suf? frage and sovereignty.'' THE FLOUR INSPECTOR. Alderman Mackey said the clerk had exhibited to him a plea flied by counsel for the accused to the jurisdiction of Council In the case of Mr. Averill, and requested that it be read. Mr. Miles then read thc plea, which denied that Council had the right to try Mr. Averill, because he was a State and not a city oftlcer. Alderman T. J. Mackey said, that on the part of the managers and of Council he denied the plea In toto, and propose?! to waive thc chargea an<l specifications of "incompetency" and "official misconduct" preferred against the Flour Inspect? or. He then requested that Mr. Averill should appear and make his statement. Mr. Miles contended that Mr. Averill was not before the Council until his plea was overruled. Alderman T. J. Mackey moved that the plea be overruled. Alderman L. F. Wall seconded the motion. Alderman T. J. Mackey said he would now pre? sent testimony to show that Mr. Averill was not now, nor never wa?. Flour Inspector; that he was neither an ofllccr of the city nor of the State. Mr. Miles denied the right of the Alderman to withdraw the charges. If Mr. Averill is not Flour Inspector, he said, what right has Council to pre? fer charges against him. How dare it to drag a citizen here? I am prepared to show that if Mr. Averill was not the Flour Inspector of the city, he is now, under thc resolution of this body adopted at the meeijfcg when the charges were preferred. Alderman T. J. Mackey interrupted the speaker, and moved that Council retire to deliberate. CORBIN WANTED. Alderman Cunningham moved that the City At? torney be sent for, saying that there were a great many matters brought forward that the members did not understand. Alderman T. J. Mackey. The matters brought forward do not appertain to the City Attorney. The fact of the matter Ls we have had too much of the City Attorney. He has been thc cause of all our trouble. Had he attended to his business when the case of Mr. Caulfield was before Judge Moses, wc would not now bc here. Alderman Geddings called Alderman Mackey to order after that worthy sat down. Alderman L. F. Wall called Alderman Geddings to order. Alderman Barrow was of the opinion that Al? derman T. J. Mackey should speak until dooms? day if he desired to do so. Alderman E. W. M. Mackey moved that the mo? tion for Council to retire be put, which was done, and two Aldermen voted In favor, aud none in opposition to thc motion. Council then retired to the Mayor's office. After Council retired the City Attorney was sent for and gave his opinion about things. After remaining out three quarters of an hour, Council returned to the chamber. The Mayor then read the following: n'fitreas. Upon examination, it appears that Mr. C. N. Averill, who was elected to the ofllce of Flour Inspector on or about the 20th day of Decem? ber, 1808, has failed to give bond as provided for in section 8 of an "Act to provide for the inspec? tion of flour," passed December 20th, MO; be it, therefore, Resolved, That thc charges against the said C N. Averill be and the same are hereby withdrawn, the said CN. Averill not being Flour Inspector for the Parishes of St. Phillp und St. Michael, as here? tofore alleged, and the managers on behulf of Council lu tibs case are hereby discharged. On concluding thc reading, the Mayor said, thc resolutions had been ratified by a large majority of the members. Mr. Miles said the resolutions embodied what was not a fact-Mr. Averill was the Flour Inspec? tor; the resolutions were Intended, so far as Coun? cil could do lt, to deprive Mr. Averill of the office of Flour Inspector. The action was not legal he contended, and read the law regulating the trial of officers. Mr. Miles made a lengthy and strong argument, and boldly denounced tlie action of Council as illegal in the extreme ; that the mem? bers, by their action, had deprived his client of lils office and rights without a hearing. Alderman Mackey then presented the bonds given by Mr. Averill to the city, as Flour Inspect? or, and asserted that the law required that the Flour Inspector should give bond to the State, while he had given bond to the city, which was no bond at all; that his predecessors had given bonds to thc State; that the reason of thc with? drawing of the charges In secret session was be? cause the members found that Mr. Averill was not Flour Inspector, or because he had never com? piled with tho requirements of the law. In con? cluding his remarks, he offered the following pre? amble and resolution: Whereat, Thc office of Flour inspector for the Parishes of st. Philip and st. Michael ls now vacant, the same having been forfeited agreeably to the statute and under the provisions of Section 12 of the ordinance entitled "An Ordinance reg? ulating the appointment und duties of elly of acera," ratified October 17, ison. Besotted, That the Council will proceed to an election for au Inspector of Flour on to-morrow evening, thc 19lh instant. Alderman Barrow seconded thc resolution. Mr. Wilkinson rose to speak, bul was interrupt? ed by Alderman E. W. M. Mackey, who di r ired to know if the members were in session a? a conn or us Council ! The Mayor said thal they were in session as the City Council. Mr. Wilkinson arose several times to speak, but was called to order by Alderman Barrow. Finally he said he was there in the Council Chambci IM a citizen of South Carolina us well as counsel for Mr. Averiii. Ile demanded that Council should hear him as a citizen, if not ns counsel for thc lic? ensed; be didn't Intend to bc throttled by one member, and would move that a vole be taken by Council whether <>r n"l he should be beard. Alderman Barrow commenced to call the speak? er to order, ami the Mayor said he would have to overrule him (Mr. W.) Mr. Wilkinson. Well, I demand that my motion be put to a vote. Alderman Barrow commenced his usual talk About the dignity of the Council, and eanic to the conclusion that it bad disposed of the Flour In? spector's case, anil moved that Council proceed with thc regular business. Alderman Geddings moved that no further ac? tion In regard to thc Flour Inspector or his ofllce be taken until Friday night, by which time thc opinion of the City Attorney could bc given. Mr. Wilkinson demanded ihat he ."uonld be heard: he believed tharthere was suillcleut man? hood in Council to prevent his being gagged. AMerman Geddings moved that Mr. Wilkinson be beard. A'.dorman Cunningham seconded the motion. Alderman Barrow demanded that the resolution offered by Alderman Mackey be put to a vote. The resolution was then put and adopted. Alderman Geddings pressed his motion. Alderman T. J. Mackey said he didn't think Council owed thc counsel any courtesy, as they had taken pains to insult thc body lu asserting that lt had discriminated against Mr. Averill be" cause he was a white man. Mr. Miles. I say that statement is false in fact and Alderman Mackey-excitedly. Mr. Mayor, I order that that "fellow be arrested at once." . Mr. Miles then stepped quickly to the front of the Council board, and within a few paces of Al? derman Mackey, and said, "I am ready to be ar? rested; I stand here as a citizen of South Carolina, and am ready to make the Issue In my own person." Alderman T. J. Mackey. Those n.3n (referring to Messrs. Miles and Wilkinson) should be put out of the chamber; I will not sit here to be insulted. Mr. Wilkinson Insisted upon being heanl. Alderman Barrow moved to adjourn. Alderman Geddings insisted that his motion to hear Mr. Wilkinson be pat. Alderman T. J. Mackey. These gentlemen have come and insulted this body, and me as manager. I have been denounced in my place as having ut? tered a falsehood-insulted while in a position where I cannot resent lt as I would were the in? sult offered elsewhere. Mr. Miles was about to reply to this, but was Interrupted by loud calls of order, and a number of persons present called to the Mayor that lt was his duty to preserve order. Alderman Geddings persisted in'having his mo? tion put. Alderman E. W. M. Mackey thought those who desired to hear the lawyers could remain after Connell adjourned, as lt should do, as all business was disposed of. Tlie motion of Alderman Geddings' was put and lost. Aldermen Geddings, Potter, Cunningham, Holloway and McKinlay voted In favor of lt. Alderman K. W. M. Mackey moved that the hearing of the chnrge against the city Sherm be postponed until " P. M. on Wednesday next. Thc motion was carried and Council adjourned. FOREIGN ITEMS. -A French chemist has discovered a pro? cess by which thc numbers on houses are rendered visible at night by the application of a phosphoric paste, which can be renewed once a month. -Tlie experiments of the Prussian govern? ment with rifled artillery have given rise to a new industry. Ball thieves, as they are called, lie in walt near the target, and, if the shell does not burst immediately, nish out of their cover in the neighborhood, seize the shell, knock oil" the leaden coating with a few sharp blowB of a chisel, and make off with their booty. Sentries are posted near the line of flight, but they often fall in catching the de? predators, who, regardless of danger, place themselves Just where the shell ls expected to fall. * -A German photographer has invented^ method of making seals and stamps with the portraits of his customers. A thin layer of gl'latine, sensitized with bl-dir?raate of potash, ls ?posed to the action of^Iiglit under a pho? tograph positive, by which the parts neted on arc rendered Insoluble in water. "Tho gelatine tilm is Immersed in water, and thc parts not acted on by the light swell up, and we obtain a picture in relief of which a plaster east can be taken. A galvanic plastic copy being taken of the casi, we have a metallic lac ?lmlle of of the photograph, which can be employed as a seal. This process suggests a method of obtaining perfect likenesses o? persons in metallic checks for the use of the printer, and also an admirable way ol illustrating scientific books. -The following illustration of postoffice ad? ministration in Russia is communicated to the London Times : "Ten days ago I was staying at thc Hotel de France, in St. Petersburg, and having written a letter and closed it, I had. occasion lo open it again, but time did not per? mit mc to uso a fresh envelope, so that it was posted with evident signs upon it of having 1 been opened. In about three hours after post? ing my letter a message came from the post office, with the letter, to inquire if I had posted it in that condition and if its contents were in? tact. This vigilance may have been due to necessity, caused by the ?.eat robberies which have undoubtedly been committed in tlie St. Petersburg postoffice, but I think If the ad? ministration have suffered in reputation by thc dishonesty of some of their employees, they should have the credit of such a circum? stance as that I have related." -The horrible atrocities of tlie Skopzi, the fanatical sect of Russia, arc still exciting the attent.on of Europe. A Russian paper gives an account of one of their recent exploits. One day last month a party of four hundred of these fanatics left thc Town of Balatschow and proceeded to a neighboring wood to pray. The scene witnessed on their return was hor? rible. A madman named Wasiloff declared that he was the son of God, and, after choos? ing twelve apostles from th ; party, called for a human sacrifice. Five, victims were at once selected, placed on a number of wagons whicli had been piled up for the purpose, and burnt alive. A woman who had distinguished her? self by the violence of her religious parox? ysms seized the shaft of the cart and beat two young girls to death; while another female was t'.rst trodden under foot and Ihen literally torn to pieces by the fanatical crowd. Other de? tails are given ol' the horrors enacted, which are utterly unfit tb: publication. Thc governor of the town heard of thc fads and sent a com? pany, of soldiers to the spot, where the whole party was arrested and placed In confinement, thus stopping further excesses, ft is hardly to be wondered at that tito Russian authorities are in perplexity how to deal with the mem? bers of lids sect. -A number of Prussian tourists, consisting of preachers and their wives, professors and art isis, recent ly made a journey to Italy, avail? ing themselves of the excursion trains windi left thc principal cili?s of Germany for the italian peninsula Upon arriving at Rome, these gentlemen applied for an audience to thc Pope who grunted it Immediately. Tlie tourists now asked each other whether their dignity would permit them lo comply with the cere? monial thal required them to kneel down be? fore his Holiness and kiss his fooL The Holy Father, upon being informed of their scruples, said, "Let them do who! their heart prompts I them to du." The audience took place. The tour? ists ontciymd the simple, yet so majestic attitude of the Pope, his mild glance, the sympathetic sound of lils voice, make such an impression on them thai they involuntarily complied with the rules of Ihc ceremonial. The Pope then spoke to them ?d'Hie hopes of the church, and expressed his joy at seeing about him Chris? tians who, he said, despite their dissensions among one another and with him. yet were his children. He then added, in u voice tremb? ling with emotion: "I will give you thc bene? diction; even though you do not believe in the Vicar of Christ, you will, at all event?, receive the blessing of a father." -The Pall Malt Gazette says : "People may like to know what becomes of ull the news? papers that are seized by tlie French police. As there is not n day passes out eignt or ten journals, native and foreign, are confiscated by M. Forcade's officials, the mass of literature accumulated in the course of a twelve-month is generally enough to UH a big storeroom. One might suppose that the forfeited papers were made to pay the penalty of their various offences by being employed during winter time to lifrht the fires in all the Imperial palaces, barracks and police offices of the empire, or handed over gratis to loyal buttencen as a reward for voting intelligently at the elections. But thc fate reserved for them is more useful, and, on the whole, less humiliat? ing. When the storeroom ls full to overflow? ing the papers are transferred to the Re? ceveur du Domaine, or Crown steward, and carted away under his surveillance to a closed spot beyond the barrieres, where they.are thrown pell-mell Into cauldrons of hot water and prosaically boiled down to pulp. This op? eration is called la mise au pilon, and ls per? formed in thc presence of a squad of gend? armes, who are careful to see that not a single one of the doomed Journals escapes. When the whole mass of print has been reduced to a thick colorless paste, lt ls sold to cardboard and paper manufacturers, who make of it what they can. At the last bolling, which took place a week or two ago, 160,000 of Henri Rochefort's Lanternes, red covers and all, were stewed in company with about half a million copies of \he Independence Beige, the Gazette de Franciort, the Gazette de Moscou, and the Kladderadatch, four pa? pers which, from so often finding themselves in hot water together, must, by this time, have got used to each other's Boclety. Next to those just mentioned, it is the Italian Jour? nals which go in the greatest numbers to the melting pot; aller these come the Spanish, which of late have been In particularly bad odor. Thc English papers, which a few years ago. were offered up in monster hecatombs, are bolled now In smaller numbers." Jflarrie?.

Many prep? arations have been got up to compete with it, but they have all rallen luto its wake or sunk into oblivion for lack of patronage. From the first, this now world-rcnownod Vegetable Tonic has been both medically and financially success? ful. Every year has added to the number of Its friends, omi the demand for lt, based solely upon the experimental proofs or its excellence as a pre? ventive and curative, seems to have no assign? able limit.

The statistics ot thc United States P.evcnnc De? partment will verify the statement that it stands alone and unapproached in thc magnitude Of ita sales as compared with those of any other pro? prietary rented c advertised on this side or the At? lantic.

TO THE PEOPLE OP SOUTH CAROLINA : The above Company was erganized in 1866, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of South? ern policies by Northern companies. The un? paralleled success of thc enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their South? ern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the appearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to build np our impoverished country-every dollar of pre? mium being safely invested In the State from which lt ls derived. The institution ls purely Southern, and hence should appeal with great force to the patriotism and sympathy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other companies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by this purely Southern Company-found? ed on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-thc true test of a company's strength-is second to none on this continent, being nearly $300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of this Company, lt has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, bot has also secur? ed their hearty co-operation. We have secured 600 policies m South Carolina since the 10th of February. We number among our Directors General Wade Hampton and Colonel Wm. John? ston, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina We appeal personally to the people of South Carolina to assist In pushing for? ward this deservedly popular Southern Institu? tion.
