' _ ^_ KATION AL BOARD OE TRADE. RICHMOND, December 2. Mr. Taylor, of St. Paul, Minnesota, moved to amend the proposition so as to provide for a rail rot* from San Diego, California, along the gene? ral route of the thirty-flf th parallel to Norfolk. Mr. Wetherell of Philadelphia, moved a proviso that the road be built without governmental sub? sidy either In money or land. Mr. Walbridge, of New York, offered as a sub? stitute a resolution requesting Congress to exer? cise whatever constitutional power lt possesses In the passage of a national railroad law, and authorizing five grand trunk railroad freight ones between the Mississippi end the Atlantic seaboard at such points as capitalists may guar? antee to commence and complete these under? takings. He said that it was the Intention of Congress before the war to have given the South a Pacific railroad, but the rebellion had inter? vened. Now that the country was as homoge? neous as it had onca been discordant, the inten? tion should be carried ont. if the South did not get it now, let it again and again present its peti? tion. The North intends lt should have justice, and it would get lt. Mr. Jeffreys, of Philadelphia, endorsed what the gentleman from New Torie said of the feeling at the North towards the South. Mr. Kirkland, of Baltimore, opposed the Idea of the government building the road. Many States were interested in roads now built, and, for one, Maryland would no? be willing to sec the govern? ment build a road running parallel with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ; still he would be willing to see the government aid the Southern Paclflo Road if it had guarantees that the money would not be squandered. Messrs. Opdyke and Dove, of Chicago; Carring? ton, of Richmond, and Cbittenden, of New York, participated In the debate. Mr. Cbittenden said tb?t the mind of the country was running away about railroads. They would be gotten, rapidly enough for mercantile purposes without govern? ment building them. It was the flood of railway bonds upon the country that would financially ruin lt, [lond applause] and the board could not put Itself more unfavorably on the record before tho world than by indorsing these government railroad schemes. The debate took a very wide range, and chiefly consisted of arguments and statistics to slow the superiority of water transportation over rall, and vice vena. After accepting an Invitation for a trip on Friday by steamer to City Point and re? turn by water, and an invitation to a banquet to bc given by the Richmond merchants on Saturday evening, the meeting adjourned.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLOXSXt, December 1. At 1 o'clock to-day tho special order ol* the House-to consider the joint resol -n relative to thc recognition of the Republic Cuba by the United Slates Government-was called up. El? liott, colored, Adjutant General ot the State, who introduced the resolution, bad considerable to say in regard to it; so did Banaler and other col? ored men, all taking the ground that thc object of thc Cuban struggle was to free themselves and their slaves from bondage. The few white men who opposed thc adoption of thc resolution took the ground that it would do no good, as thc Uni? ted States ofllcluls knew what they were about, and in due time would do what was best. Finally, after a long discussion, the resolution was adopt cd by a vote of seventy-two to twenty-one. The colored men voted for i: nearly to a man. Of thc white Radicals who voted against it. 'tom lin son was the only prominent one. Messrs. F. T. Cly? burn, J. E. Hagood, John B. Moore, William G. Stewart, John Wilson and W. w. Waller, Demo? crats, voted against lt. After its adoption De Large arose, displayed two boxes of percussion caps, and offered them as his contribution to the war material for the impending struggle. The Speaker snapped him up by several strokes of his gavel, and DeLarge shot Into his seat. Thc resolution was sent to the Senate and taken up about three o'clock. Leslie denounced It as claptrap, the work of some rascally con? tractor at the North, and expressed tho opinion that thc author of lt would be In the State lunatic asylum in a ; ho t time. W. B. Nash, colored, de? sired thu United States to get Into a war, and ' di In't care ir lt did whip Spalu or auy oilier person." South Carolina was always fond of fighting nn.l shouldn't be behind now.

ITe denied that "a prominent mcmix thc Legislature" had purchased land at * and sold it to the Land Commission for $22 or that a judge had sold to the commission $1200 a tract purchased by him for $300. went on to say that if members of other dei monts would not circulate falsehoods about all would get along better ; that there were m things done in the " commission " for whlcl was not responsible. Ile wanted the Dcmoc and everybody else to know that the commis challenged investigation. He knew that tl and other reports were being circulated, bu defied any one to prove that thc alleged chai of corruption were true. THE CONTESTED ELECTION'.

Hoyt, lt recited that the committee given a patient and thorough invcstigatioi the matter and fourni, from the county canvass returns;that there were 140S votes cast forC ncl Cothran and 1403 for L. r. Curtin; that, cording to the evidence, the polls at Calhot Mills were not opened until half-past 8 o'cli when, according to thc law, they should h been opened at c o'clock; that three yonng r registered and voted on that day, but it was opinion of the committee that if these i: were legally qualified to vote this register made no difference; that, according to Guff testimony, a man was illegally appoiu to take charge of thc polls; that, also, accord to his testimony and twelve affidavits, which presented, thirty or forty voters were driven fr the polls or otherwise pi evented from voting; tl according to Colonel Cothran's testimony, s ported by ten affidavits, there wa? no Intimi tion or any preventing of voters from exercis thc right of suffrage, and this statement was s stantlated during the cross-examination or Our when it was proved that at thc close of thc pi he saw he was satisfied. The report conclu* with the expression of thc opinion that If the cc mittee sat for a month affidavits from both p tics would bc poured in, and that thc Senate oi could jndge which of the two should bc seated. After the reading of the above, Hoyt arose a requested and obtained leave to introduce an i dltlonal report, which he wished to bc consul cd, not as a minority, but as a supplementary port to the report offered first, as he and Y. J. Gaven and W. E. Rose, who signed this, cone red in the first but desired to go a step furth The report was then read, lt stated that becat of intimidation, fraud and other irregularities the polls at Calhoun's Mills there was not a f expression or opinion, and consequently L. Curtin received a majority of legal votes, a recommended that he be declared elected. T reports were ordered to be printed and made t special order for to morrow. TAXES PAST DOB. A bil! introduced in the Senate in March la entitled a bill "To define thc manner of collcctii taxes past due, and for other purposes," recelv Its second reading to-day, and was ordered I 'thethird under the title "To define thc manner collecting taxes past due, assessed under Hie la military and provisional governments of Sou Carolina."

ANOTHER DIP INTO THE STATE TREAS-KY. It is queer economy to refuse State aid to ra roads, and then consider, an the Senate ls no doing, R. H. Cain's (colored) bill providing ttl! thc Treasurer of the State be authorized and il rected to issue to thc Land Commissioner bom of this State to the amount of one million dollar with coupons, the same to be used under sue regulations as may hereafter be prescribed for tl purchase of lands in this State to be sold fi homesteads to actual settlers. The bill was set to the Finance Committee to day. Of course will be favorably reported upon and passed. MAGISTRATES, TAKE STARKING. Thc presentments of several grand Juries, con plaining of thc loose manner in which magistrate conduct their business, has caused thc produi lion of a bill before the Senate, which, lt I thought, will partially remedy the evil and sav the State considerable expense, lt provides thu thc costs which may accrue upon the issuing i any warrant or proeess for any penal offence les than felony, shall follow judgment, unless, lu eas of dismissal of the complaint, for want of jn opc and sufficient proof, the magistrate having issue such warrant or process shall be of the opinloi that thc complaint had good and reasonbl grounds for Instituting such prosecution, in whlcl latter case alone shall such costs bc paid out o the county treasury. In all complaints for ns sault, assault and battery, in which thc offene; is not an aggravated one, and lu all case; of petit larceny, it shall bc the du:y o the magistrate before whom such complaint maj be made to summarily try the ortender or offen ders, and, in case of conviction, to sentence him her or them, each to pay a line not exccclin?. ninety-nine dollars, nor less than one dollar together with costs of prosecution: thu lino oi lines lo be returned to Ure county treasurer, ami by him paid Into thc State Treasury, tn be appro? priated to the school fund.

The following bill, "to protect from arrest all officers ol' tho State police for any alleged offence committed by them while in the discharge or their duties," has passed its first reading In both houses, and been referred lo committee to report. Vi. I*. Nash, colored, is thc author of thc bill. It will bc observed that, if the bill becomes a law, thc State constables can do as they please "while in thc discharge or their duties"-but that is nothing strange-and if any magistrate issue a warrant for their arrest lie shall be either im? prisoned or contribute one or five hundred dol? lars to defray ''thc contingent expenses of the State police," whom he baa so grelvousiy in? sulted by proposing t > arrest them like common citizens. Herc ts thc bill. Citizens, prepare to salute your king-!: Any member of thc ' State police" shall bc free from arrest- upon any warrant or process that may be Issued egalust bini, upon any complaint or inform?t', in for any alleged offenre committed uv him lu thc discharge of Cte duties of bis office.

POSTOFFICE AND COURTHOUSE FOIl COLOMBIA. Congress having, during its last session, appro? priated seventy-five thousand dollars for a post? ?nico and courthouse at Columbia, provided the site for the same shall be given to the United States, a bill has been introduced in the Senate " to grant and give thc consent of thc Legislature of this state to thc conveyance to thc United States of the lot of land situate at the corner of Richardson and Laurel streets, for the purpose of a post?nico an?l courthouse, or for other pur? poses, and to cede to the United States jurisdic? tion Hierein." Thc bill will pass. T'.e addition of a building as imposing as proposed will bc a groat attraction to thc now somewhat desolate looking Richardson street.

In this conned ion it would bc well to state that the Chatham Railroad Company has quit its de? signs upon thc Legislature for a guarantee of $3,000,000-at least rumor says so. THE AUGUSTA AND HAMBURG lint DUE. A bill to recharter thc bridge across the Savan? nah River, at Hamborg, S. C., which was dis? cussed and discussed at thc last session until thc subject was as old as thc bridge Itself, was sprung upon tho members of thc Senate to-day, each and every one of whom seemed reluctant to touch lt. I and finally and heartily agreed to a motion to postpone it until Saturday. The bil!, ufter reciting that tho charter granted December, 1S48, to Hen? ry Shultz and John Meninnie for a toll bridge across thc Savannah River at Hamburg and Au gusta having expired by Its own limitation on thc 19th of December, 1862, declares that from said date it be rechartered and vested In the county commissioners of thc County of Edgefleld, and their successors In otllce, for and during the term of thirty years. COLUMBIA ITEMS. Mr. James c. Janney, a native of Loudon Coun? ty, Va., but for many years past a prominent citizen of this place, died of apoplexy early this morning. He was proprietor of Janney's Hotel, and filled the oillcc of postmaster and other otllees of trust and honor. He was foreman of the petit Jury of the United States Conrt, now in session here, and this morning his death was an? nounced to the conrt, and eulogistic remarks made by Judge Bryan and Major Corbin. He was fifty-eight years of agc at the time of lils death. He was universally respected. There is a movement lu progress to extend thc city limits. This will bring Into the city a large number or persons who have enjoyed all the benefits of being in the city, yet have not paid taxes for the privilege. This class ls opposed to extension. Quite a number of gypsies have been in this vicinity during thc past week. A report ls in circulation that they catch and devour little children. The absence of thc aforesaid little ones from the streets, especially as night approaches, ls remarkable. There was a reception at Judge Willard's resi? dence to-night. L.

The Shooting of R I c h a rd M O n from McFarland's Point of View-Sad Story of thc Deserted Husband-Grant Mixed up with thc Affair. The Radical papers in New York are ju.st now wasting a good deal of sympathy upon Rich? ardson, the victim of the recent shooting affair, which could better bc bestowed upon thc deserted husband, now spendlug a very unpleasant lei? sure In thc Tombs. McFarland bas his story as well as Richardson,'and If shooting ls to be con? doned at all in cases of domestic Irregularity, be should be allowed the benefit of the popular code. McFarland's story ls truly sad. He had lived for nine years with lils wife-"nine years of such happiness !" he says-before Richardson managed to secure a transferor her affections. "Wheu 1 lost my property,'1 he says, "a change came over her." He bore with her indifference long, never consented to a separation, and Ona]ly committed tho desperate deed to which his rage against his enemy drove him. Richardson bes badly wounded, but comforted by feminine att?n? uons ami unbounded sympathy; while the hus? band, whose wife lie has stolen, and whose home be has broken up, is in jail, execrated as an assas? sin, and vllliflcd as cruel to his wife, a drunkard and a spendthrift. McFarland says: "lt is a sad ending of my Ufe. But they're married. I have proof of it. I know lt, slr. c;.I God : ..shat am l lo dof My little boy that I have with me cries out for his mother every night; but his mother left me because 1 was poor. Did you ever se-: my wife, slr!

Why. ho offer? ed to marry her, you know, and he published thc fact in tho Tribune. Ile has bod influence i uough to keep the casi? oat of all thc papers. "Von know Crain, and Richardson are very croat friend.-.; and Crain, I hear, would do any? thing lor Richardson. Richardson used lo ac? company (?rant everywhere; ami ho is said to have great power over tami. A short lime ago some friends of Richardson called upon nu: and asked me upon What terms 1 would settle the case. I told them that I had to take an action for damages, a? that was thc only remedy left mo. They said they would insure mo Slu.O?O and a foreign mission if I would abandon the snit; bm 1 told them that I wained my wife. 1 sup? pose they could have persuaded thc President to give mo a consulship to please Richardson and lint me out of Hie way." "What do you think lo l your wife to leave you V "Society, sir; literary ladies, slr. She loved company,' mid style, and grandeur, ami having laded lu business, I could not support her in tho way she desired. That's all. livery bit of it (lie added with bitter emphasis.) win come out on thc trial. I don't know what to do about thc matter. You soe I'm poor; I can't employ detectives to watch my wire or Richardson, aud I believe lier lady friends want her io slay with Richardson." Thc lillie touch about Grant Is especially pun? gent. If correct, lt beats Forney's "Jamison let "er." We shall daily look for a Presidential con? tradiction, addressed in esplstolary simpe to "My dear Bonnor." A telegram in another cokimn announces thai Richardson died yesterday morn .ng from thc effects of bis wer.:.1. PERSONAL GOSSIP. -Jo? Howard.

Urisi was particularly great in thc part of Norma, lu thc parts of Semlramldc, Lu crczia Borgia and Elvira in thc Puritan!, the latter of which was written for her, she showed dramatic capacities which made her scarcely less attractive as au actress than as a singer. Site came to Anterlea in 1S54, lu company with Mario, and returned to Europe after spending about a year in this country, during which she sang in nearly all the principal cities of the United States. NAPOLEON'S POLICY. Remarkable Speech of thc French Em? peror-An Appeal for Order and Lib? erty-Ul* Congratulations to France on thc Progress of Freedom Through? out the World. Til? session ol* tho Senate and Corps L?gis? latif was reopened on Monday with great cere? mony by the Emperor, who delivered thc opening speech from the throne. It was hoped that thc Kmpress might possibly returu in time to take part in thc ceremonies, but she had not yet reached Paris. The Emperor said: "It is not easy to establish regular and peaceful liberty in France. Fer months past, society seemed to be menaced by subversive passions, and freedom compromised by tlieexcesses of the press and of public assem? blages. But common sense has already properly Judged these culpable exaggcratlous which, after al!, have served but to prove the solidity of the edillce founded by popular suiriage.^?tut this uncertainty and trouble must last no longer. Thc will of the people must bc made known. France wants liberty with order. Order I answer for; help me, Messieurs, to secure liberty. Between those who would change all and those who would grant nothing, a glorious course may be chosen." The Emperor then referred to thc Senattts Consul turn of September last, which he said he had pro? posed with the purpose of inaugurating a new era of conciliation and progress. It was the task of thc Chambers to aid him in carrying out thc plan. Ho proeeeded to enumerate the municipal reforms which were to bc made. He pronounced the situation of thc country satisfactory, and de? clared that the more he was ready, however, to grant reforms thc more decided he was to main? tain the principles of the coustitution. The rela? tions of France with foreign powers were friendly. Sovereigns and peoples desired peace. The Em? peror continued as follows: "Wo have reason to be proud or our epoch. The New World sup? presses slavery ; Russia trees the serfs; England renders justice to Ireland; the Bishops are meet? ing at Rome for wise and conciliatory purposes; the progress of science draws nations closer to each other. While America unites the Atlantic aud Pacific, everywhere capital and intelligence com? bine to COUUCCt by thc electric wire all na? tion?. France and italy will soon be joined by a tunnel through thc Alps, atm the Sue/. Canal has already united the Mediterranean and Hie Red Sea. Tile Kmpress ls liol present to-day. because l desired her lo testily tn the sympathy ol' France arith the wonderful genius and perseverance of a Frenchman.'' The Emperor concluded in the following words: "Messieurs, you resume your labors alteran unusual interruption of the ses? sion. I liopo the boillcs of thc State will apply loyally thc modification* lately made lu nie Con? stitution. There Ls to bc a more direct participa tion of the nation in its own affairs. This will bc a new force for the Empire. .May tl.e Chambers prove that, without running into regrettable ex? cesses, France eau support free Institutions which honor civilized nations." THE B STORMS PROMISED IN TES EMPEROR'S srsscu. The following is a synopsis of Hie reforms prom is?,! in thc Emperor's speech: Mayors are to be ChOSCIl from Hie municipali? ties; thc mmiicipallties are to be elected by uni? versal suffrage; communal Councils are tobe es? tablished; fresh prerogatives ure to bo grained tin- Conseils (?eneran::: tho colonies to participate in Ute movement; universal suffrage is to bc ex? tended; there ls to be a more rapid development of primary education; a diminution of thc costs of Justice, and a reduction of Hie war tax on suc? cessions; thc savings bani-: system ls to be extend? ed; more humane regulations are to i>e made for thc labor of children, and there is lo be an In? crease of entail salaries in public offices; useful measures connected with agriculture are prom? ised, as ls an inquiry into thc excise: also, a pro? ject or law regarding disjoins duties. Thc speech saya thc situation or tho Empire is satisfactory; thii'. its foreign relations aro thc .-abject of con? gratulation; lie! its finances are prosperous, and that tho Chambers must prove that '.-'rance is ca? pable of supporting free institutions, which aro tho honor of civilized countries. TUG .?CENE IN Till CHAMBER-X. ROCHF.FORT now Tnt; eramu WAS RECEIVED. Large crowds were collected around tuc hall of thc Corps L?gislatif, but DO disturbance occur? red. Within tho Chamber thc scene was one of groa*. ?nteres:. The Emperor's adilref.-t was Us tcned to with the deepest attention, ac.i wa? fre qnently applauded. Ar that point where the Emperor declared that he would answer for the preservation of order, thc applause became en? thusiastic. Henri Roch?fort, the newly elected deputy from the First District of Paris, was not present. His name when called was received with hisses. The oillcia! journals praise the speech. The Opposition press complain that thc Emperor does not promise the reforms which France needs. PERSONAL GOVERNMENT AND ITS PASSIVE INSTRU? MENTS UNTENABLE. Thc London Times, in an article on French poli? tics, says: Whatever divergence of opinion amy weaken the members of the Opposition in the Corps L?gis? latif, they should work together to overthrow the men who have brought the government into dis? credit. There ought to be no compromise with the passive instruments of personal rule. Possi? bly the present ministers maj bl HI be at the head, but the Emperor is accustomed to look upon his power as built on the odds of a hundred to one. For many years the Opposition in the Chamber was composed only of Favre and four others. In the face of lie Opposition votes, the Emperor's position ls alreadv untenable. ALL ABOUT THE STATE.
