It is stated that he left no will. If this be true, his widow will of course share in the estate; unless, as seems to be supposed in some quarters, the marriage ls set aside as void. -It Is a curions Illustration of the badness of the times in England that thc marriage rate there this year is the lowest recorded In any corres? ponding season during the last quarter of a century. It has been long noticed in England that the rise or fall of the number of marriages is In toleradly strict accordance with the Increase or decrease of the means of living. When the times arc good, young couples begin house heeplng; when the times are bad they wait for tetter. The depression of trade, which thus re? acts upon tho marriage rare, is universal through 'Great Britain this year, and its results in tue diminished number of marriages is carefully noted by the Registrar General. We have no such officer in this country to show how far dull j " times affect the matrimonial market, but proba- ? n bly If we had, it would not be found that the two tl sympathize to the same extent that they do in e England. Scarcely anybody feels too poor to ] ?? marry in this country, and we suspect that ir the marriage registry of Washington were consulted ' it would be found that more marriages are con? summated in dnll times, when the young folks have nothing else to keep them out of idleness, than when? business is in active motion. -The Pope, it appears, has become possessed of the apprehensien that the excitement of the (Ecumenical Cousoil may be greater than lils health can endure. It Ls confidently stated in Seme that a Papal Cull will be issued ordaining that should his Holiness die during the meeting of the Council his successor is to be elected by all the as secibled bishops, aud not merely the con ?lave of cardinals. -The Washington correspondents say that a careful canvass of the leading men of both houses show that tko few who direct and indu ?ace legislation are undetermined among them? selves as to what course they will puajuc or what legislation they will urge. Senator Wilson gave Ma opinion that the coming session would bc strictly business, and mere so than has been the ease for many years. It ls also generally thought - that all th.' leading measures which will come up fer discussion will be first considered in caucus, and bc there well matured, and then be brought before the Senate for debate. The principal rea? tares In the legislation of the Senate, as now talked of, will bethe fuuding of the national debt .and tinkering on tbs revenue and tariff laws. -A Washington dispatch of Monday to the New Tork Herald says: "It U evident that the action hf the Supreme Court In the Yerger oase win re? sult in the abridgement of some of the powers it has heretofore enjoyed, and in the curtailing of Ita appellate Jurisdiction. There ls a manifest dis? trust of the court upon the part of several promi? nent Repabiicana In Congress, and as it cannot very well be reconstructed or abolished, they think the next best thing to do la to curb it as much as possible. Two bills were introduced in the Sen . z*e to-day for this purpose, one by Sumner and ? t mother by Drake. Sumner's bul, which ls Lu- ' .Stored to have been inspired, if not drawn by the Attorney-General, siianly takes away from the court its appellate Jurisdiction In proceedings commenced by a writ of habeas oorpus. It ap? pears that there is a case expected to como up in thc Supreme Court at au early day somewhat similar to the Yerger case. This ls the immediate object of Mr. Sumner's bill, or rather, it is intend? ed to meet this case, and he intends to urge speedy action on it by the Committee on the Judiciary, to whom the bill was referred. Drake's bill is of a more sweeping character, and goos further than even such men us Sumner arc disposed to go. Mr. Drake's idea is that, as the United States inferior courts were created by Congress, they have no po-vcr to pass upou or decide wiiether the lawn enacted by that, body arc constitutional or unconstitutional. They have no business, he thinks, to have any opinions on that subject, and his bill proht'oits the Supreme Court from enter? taining appeals from snell inferior courts involv? ing the validity of Congressional legislation. Drake sr.ys lits bill strikes at the root or what he deems the unwarranted interference of t he Su? preme Court in matters pertaining only to the legislative branch of the government, while Sum? ner's is merely intended to mee: one ot* thc many cases likely to be brought before the court, if it3 present jurisdiction ls left undisturbed. It i3 not thought that the Judiciary Committee will report favorably on Drake's bill, because it latregarded asan attempt to break down the judiciary and to take away from the Supreme Court all power to review the action ot Congress. Drake Ls prepar? ing a strong speech in derence of his bill."

Thc Principle? of Trades' Unions, Brierly described, the final end and aim of Trades' Unions may be said to be, to raise to the highest practicable point the rate of wages.. The means used for attaining this object are various and more or less calcu? lated to gain the poiut; but they all tend in that direction. They are usually embodied in a co Je of rules; and to these the masters have -riven, in many instances, a formal as? sent-necessity rather than inclination ex? plains this agreement of the English em? ployers to subscribe to a set of regulations the effect of which is to limit their power, to .educe their profits, and to take, to some ox :ent, the conduct of their business out of :heir own hands. In describing the restrictions which thc English Trades' Unions ondeavor to impose ipon the freedom of contract between cra doyer and workman, it must be preniis.Ml hat all the rales which will be passed in .eview do uot prevail throughout all the tssociations. Some of them are repudiated, ;o a partial extent, by particular Unions; int it maj be safely said that wherever the Union system is consistently and fully de reloped. these rules are in operation, and are .'nforcod or liable to be enforced, by agencies o be noticed hereafter. The principal articles of the codes of the Snglish Trades' Unions, as described by a evicwer two years ago, are tue following: 1. The imposition of a certain minimum ate below which wages shall not fall. The ?mployer is not, indeed, precluded from pay Big a higher rate than thia standard to vorkmen of superior skill or tibility, but he s prohibited from paying a lower rate to my man, although he may judge him to be md the fact may be so-an inferior hand. Ind even though the workman may be wil? ing to take less, he is not allowed to do so. 2. The limitation of the hours ' of labor. Whatever moral or sanitary grounds may ?c urged in support of thi3 claim, and they .re many, it is clear that when workmen lemand a reduction of the hours of work, without a corresponding decrease of pay, [ t is simply equivalent to asking a higher ate ot wages. ' 3. The prohtbi'lon of piece work. Tho < 'bjections made by several of the witnesses ' lefore the Royal Commission to this mode f workiug, were based on its tendency to J roduce inferior und dishonest workman- j hip; bi:t the more candid admitted that ^ heir dislike waa founded cn the fact that it ramed too great u Btimu?aa? to exertion on he part of the men and opened the eyes of he masters to what men working for their wn advantage coull do; thus furnishing . u inducement tj lo wer the pay of those who forked by time. ; 4. The int?\\uc(.ioii in certain cases td J Mchiucry and of methods by which hand - lbor may be ecou;)in:nod. 5. The prohibition o? the employment of : ny clas3 of workmen ia tiny mutter beyond lie strict line of their own special divislou j f labor; and the limitation withiu each ? istrict to f ie usu of ciateriaLs worked or J repared by the laborer of that district. 6. Regulations having for their object to heck tho zeal and rapidity of workmen who \ light oe inclined to get ou too fast with ; heir work, and thus raise the standard of \ fTiciency,against their fellows to thc adv.m- < age of the employer. { 7. The limitation of the number of ap- - irentieos in proportion to thc journeymen mployed, and asimilar restriction on the ! lnploynicut of boys, the rule being lixed, | a both cases, not with reference to the cat- ( ioncy of the laborer, bat to the Bupposod ! atercsts of tho other workmen. . ; Lastly. The exclusion of t;:e non-Union neu from working along with, or ia lieu of, 1 Tnloaists. This is a cardinal point willi a ! argo number o? Unions, and goes lo th?! ; oot of Ute controversy between thc n<ivo- | ates of Union principles and their oppo- ?. Tents. j j All i-f the foregoing regulations aro itel j j a force iii this country, und, everywhere, ocal interests and conditions limit and gov- . ra their application. But each urticlo .of ha code involves a principle fought for, or l aught against, by Unionists or ?employers. , ,nd ia order that both classes may compre- j lend the whol? subject, we shall eensidar . ach branch of it as carefully as though ) Jnioaism in ils ruost stringent form obtained hroughout the South. Al present, there is , lamentable lack of Knowledge ia regnrd ( o Trades' Unions. Many workmen expect ?i o re than the Lintons oa.ii possibly give , hom. Many employers, on tie other side, ! lelieve that Trades' Unioas ara the enemies ) if progress and the encourager* or turmoil ; .nd agitatiou. To correct the errors of < loth employer and workman; to point out : vhcre harm ia done, and where substantial J ?enofit may safely be obtained; to instruct he workingman and the capitalist, in ro? bard to their rights and responsibilities his is what we hope und desire to do. A Pot Shot. A member of thc House of Representatives introduced on Tuesday a resolution recom meftdLug to Governor Scott that a reward of five thousand dollars be paid to Constable Jerry Hollingshead " for the brave and faith " ful performance of his duty" in killing Tol? bert, ono of the assassins of B. F. Randolph. Hollingshead waa wornt ried I h reo times, and would doubtless be willing to take three more llesh wounds at the same price-six? teen hundred und sixty-six dollars each. But thc reward is not because Tolbert wounded Hollingshead, but because Hol? lingshead "fired upon the said Tolbert, kill? ing him instantly.'* This generosity with oilier people's money is very praiseworthy. But Hollingshead only did hts duty. Why should he be given live thousand dollars for doing the thing that he bargained to do, and for which be is paid by tho State? And what makes the transaction all the more in comprehensible is, that thc Radicnls, while ready enough to pay well for what is done badly, or not at all, are very slow to reward merit, whether it comes in the guise of a State constable or a Democratic official. It is a queer business, but the truth will leak out presently. N. B.-A Radical correspondent has nosed it all out, and says that it is not certaiu that it was Hollingshead who fired the fatal shot; another account says positively that Tolbert wa3 killed by either Constable Emanuel or Constable Brown. Of course, if somebody else did the work, the consistency of Radi? calism is vindicated-Hollingshead should have his money at once. No MORE scandalous proposition has ever .been entertained by the Legislature than the bill "to indemnify D. G. Robertson and Du " bose ? Co., of Sumter County, for losses "sustained through thc action of armed "bands of incendiaries in said county," of which notice was given on Wednesday. These men had been dealing in seed cotton. They wore warned to desist. They did not de? sist, and their stores were burned. Noone of the incendiaries havo been discovered, al? though a number of arrests were made. The violent act was and is condemned by every j respectable man in Sumter County, and now it is proposed that tho whole State shall bear the brunt of the follies or crimes of a hand? ful of mt'ii whom nobody knows. Sumter is made responsible for the so-called K. K. KW?, ??nd South Carolina must pay for Sumter. This out-IIerods Herod; it bangs Banagher. What comes next ? Perhaps a bill lo lew a special tax to salve the feelings of (he State officiais lacerated by the stinging truths found only ia the columns of Tua CHARLESTON NEWS. TUB Kimpiou resolution, introduced in tho State House of Representative* on Wednes? day, by Mr. Feritcr, of Sumter, is as follows : " Resolved by the House of It^prr-sonatires, the Senate concerrinrr. That the stau? Treasu? rer be instructed to report to this House, al as early a day us practicable, the oxnet status ot this State in Its relations with H. II. L'imptou, Esq., as finaucial agent, in the name of the State, together with the particulars thereof; ilscf, the amount of bonds issued by the State in redemption ol' the bills ol the Hank of the State of South Carolina. In compliance with the act passed on the 15th day of September, A. D. 1808." Now, the question is whether the resolu? tion will bc adopted by the Senate, aud whether the committee, if appointed, will Loll the whole truth? Wo shall see. IT IS rumored that a bill will soon bo in .roduced in the General Assembly providing ;hat the salaries of the mecibers and of all he State officials be paid in coin. There is some senso in this. If til? members take up mch a bill and pass it, they will add a fourth o their present income. This can bc fol: md understood, but wh<m they propose to iay in coin thc principal and interest of the State debt, they only put money in thc )0cket8 of thc Radical Ring. This bill to iay the State debt in coin is one which not lurlenes tho members of tho General Assent? er, and makes us poor indeed. The meo >ors have been working for Scott & Go. for tome months. La it iva time (hut they did lomething for themselves? !Tor Gale. REAL ESTATE OR PERSONAL PRO?
