Thc report that the Pope will allow no dis? cussion of Infallibility unless sure of a favorable result is confirmed. -Thc Canadian Government designs waiting thc results of negotiations with the Red River insurgents, especially entered upon as to their claims, Ac, before taking hostile action. These negotiations failing, the Dominion and the Impe? rial governments and the Hudson's Bay Company will proceed, in spring, to restore order by alter? native measures. -The dismissal o? Baron Haussmann by Napo? leon, lu accordance with the new ministry, and directly In opposition to his own, is regarded in Paris as an event of prime Importance, and In? dicative or the power or the imperial advisers. The Emperor was deslrlca3 or retaining the Pre? fect. This is proved by a letter which his Majesty wrote to him, and which establishes tho fact that the first act of thc Cabinet was to ask for the removal or the Prerectorthe Seine, on account or the extravagance or tils administration and che unnecessary sums expended in enlarging and beantirylng the city. The Emperor nos a strong personal regard ror M. Haussmann, and had pro? mised to maintain him, but thought it proper to derer to the expressed desire or his ministers. The imperial letter contains an assurance ol the sovereign, and his regret ut pal ting with an offi? cer so wide!/ and deservedly esteemed. M. Cherrcaa has i>cen appointed as the successor or Baron Haussmann. This action or the Emperor has created good retiing ia Paris, especially arning the Liberals, and their o renn? say thal ta* - disposition will go far towards strengthening dynasty.

The Radicals have nearly perfected their plan to interfere with Tennessee. Governor Bullock telegraphs that tilings have been Axed so that Georgia will ratify thc Fifteenth amendment. [FROM TUE ASSOCIATED TRESS.] WASHINGTON, January io-Noon. In Congress there is nothing so far from thc committees.

Sumner, Wilson, Howard and Pomeroy suggest? ed obstacles. Warner wanted to go into Alabama with an amnesty In one hand and a halter in another. He would pardon rebels, but hang murderers. Fowler wanted to substitute thc Bible for the halter. He also defended Tennessee against the alleged slanders of her Congressional delegations and Brownlow. In the House, a bill admitting Virginia was dis? cussed. Bingham demanded thc previous que - lion, and thc demand 'tts sustained. A rccoa sideratlon of the vote oi dering thc main question* was moved by a vote of TC to 70; the Speaker voted no. Thc main qnestion came up, but thc morning hour expiring, it went over. Blaine's vote on ordering a vote on the main question is considered important. Thc bill in question is Bingham's, and admits Virginia with? out additional conditions. Sawyer, of California, has been confirmed as United States Judge for the Ninth Judicial Cir? cuit. The San Domingo treaty has been received by the Senate, anti referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. THE BEAL ESTATE MARKET. The Lands Sold on Sales-day. AAR 2 VILLE.

An unusual num? ber of colored people were in tho village, look? ing out for homes for the current year.

"Wc lind in thc Orangehurg News the follow? ing letter from Mr. A. B. Knowlton, which will be read with interest not only by the legal fraternity, but by thc public generally. Mr. Knowlton bas practiced law for many years in New York, and is familiar with the code of that State, from which the new code of South Carolina has been borrowed; and his letter gives what seems to be a clear and practical idea of thc changes which it inaugurates in the practice and proceedings at law: To the Editor of the Orangeburg News: Sm-As the adoption of the Code of Proce? dure recently submitted to Hie Assembly seems to bc beyond a peradventure, a few brief outlines of a practice so radically differ? ent from that which at present obtains may not bc entirely uninteresting to my brother members ol thc profession-probably not even to the public at large, whose rights will, by the new system, be rendered capable, in many and important respects, of more prompt, cer? tain and effectual enforcement. All distinctions between common law and equity arc abolished, save as to the relief ask? ed, and a slight difference in the form of thc summons; and all remediea are lo be sought cither by action or by special proceeding. AH actions are commenced by Hie service of a summons, which is in all cases substantially the same, containing, after the name of the court and the title of the cause, simply a uotice to the defendant, to answer the complaint, and to serve a copy thereof on the plaintiffs attor? ney, at his otlice, within twenty days alter the i service ofthe summons; and that If he fail so to do thc plaintiff will either take judgment against him for the amount claimed? or apply to the court lor the relief demanded, as the cause of action may require; the former in case tlie action is one on contract ior the recovery of money only, the latter In all other cases. The summons is subscribed by thc plaintiff's attorney, and requires no teste. The complaint, which correspond^ to thc present declaration, may bc either served on the d?tendant, or flied in the office of the clerk of the court, and either at the time of serving the summons, or within such time thereafter as the defendant shall, after service or appearance, demand by a notice in proper form. The plaintiff has twenty days after service of the answer (which corresponds to the pres? ent plea) within which to reply, and thence? forth the pleadings are designated as at com? mon law. But as the allegations in thu reply are lo be deemed traversed by thc defendant, without rejoinder, further pleading is gene? rally unnecessary to bring the parties to issue. After Issue joined, the date of which is that of thc service of thc last pleading, the cause may be placed upon the calendar (or issue docket) by either party, and be brought on for trial upon a notice ol trial served fourteen days before the first day of the tenn. The fine-spun cobwebs of special pleading are swept from their accustomed corners, anil pleading as a science is no more; for the com? plaint, answer, and other pleadings are freed from all the technical rules. They must con? tain a "plain and concise statement ol' Hie facts constituting a cause of action'1 or defence, and nothing more. Demurrer lies where the facts are insufficient, as well as for oilier reasons appearing on the face of the pleading; a motion io strike out is the proper course where the allegations are unnecessary or imper? tinent. Allegations in the. complaint nol con? troverted by the answer-or in the answer not controverted by thc reply-are admitted. If the defendant fails io appear within the twenty jays, the plaintiff is entitled to judgment, Qbh'lcii in many cases may be entered imme? diately, the amount of damages being admit? ted by the default; in others, aller assessment of damages by the clerk, or ehoriffs Jury, or upon proper application to the court. If the plaintiff tails to reply within Hie limited time the defendant is entitled to such judgment as is his right, upon 6ucli fact? in the answer as required a reply; e. g. in the case of a counter? claim exceeding Hie plaintiff's claim, Judg? ment for thc amount of such excess, Ac. Thc provisions of thc New York Code, (ot which, I am informed, the one now before the Assembly is, with a few local alterations, an exact copy,) as to arrest and bail, have already become law in this State, in their principal fea? tures, by virtue of thc act of September, 18U8, which provides, also, that thenceforth there shall be no arrest in civil actions save as there? in provided. But as this act is framed under the new system, while thc practice ls in all other respects, as yet, unaltered, it would seem that an attempt to carry out its provi? sions might, as the law now stands, give rise to some troublesome questions. Any such dif? ficulty, however, will be avoided, and the pre? sent incongruity obviated, by the adoption of the Code lu the proposed form. Thc remedies afforded by the common law actions of trespass, replevin, trover and de? tinue, for the recovery of personal property or its value, are all obtainable under the new sys? tem, in a single form ot action, and by a col? lateral "proceeding"in that action, "to recover the possession of personal property." Thc complaint alleges the cause of acton, and, If damages only ar" desired, Hie case takes Its usual course; but If the plaintiff seeks a spe? cific recovery ofthe chaltel, the sheriff, upon being served with a sufficient bond or under? taking, and with the proper affidavit on the l?art ol the plaintiff, endorsed with ti requisi? tion to that effect by tho plaintiff's attorney, is required to take the property from the defend? ant and deliver it to the. plaintiff, and the de? le nd nut may demanda redelivery to himself, by giving a sufficient undertaking, to the effect that if Hie return be finally adjudged lu the plaintiff, he will so return it, and that the plaintiff shall be paid such sum as may, for any cause, bc recovered against the defendant in the action. The defendant is also ?inestable for wrongfully or unjustly taking, detaining, injuring or efolgnlng the property which is the subject of the action. This proceeding is .almost precisely similar to thc practice in replevin which obtains iii Pennsylvania, of which the learned American editor of Stephens on Pleading remarks (8th Am. Fd. p. c.\;.) "Pennsylvania alone, per? haps, among the Slates of this Union, possesses the most r.aional and effectual method of pro? ceeding in actions of replevin that could pos? sibly be devised. It meets every possible case in which relief can be expected from this form of action, without any ofthe inconven? iences, the fear of which lias prevented its ex? tension elsewhere. This action Hes, in that State, in every case where the right to the possession of goods and chattels is id contro? versy, whether they have been forcibly taken, or are otherwise diverted or kept away irom their right owner. Nor does the party in pos? session suffer any inconvenience 'or run any risk from this proceeding. . * * How this practice came to be introduced in that State does not appear, but il has been found so beneficial that it may be considered the com? mon law of the State." The provisions of the Code as to attachments afford a remedy as well as a preventive in many instances wlwrc the plaintiff is at pres? ent remediless, and, for an agricultural com? munity, are, perhaps, quite as comprehensive as is necessary. They have given very gene? ral salisfaction to thc profession in New York, although in seine cases proving rather lou strict and technical for thc sudden and urgent necessities of a great commercial city. Special proceedings are all proceedings oilier than actions-such as habeas corpus, certiorari, proceedings for the sale ot infant's estates, dc ?unatico, &c, and are governed by Hie rules ofthe common law, or ofthe sunnies lo which they owe their origin, or of either as controlled or modified by the other. As my purpose was merely to give a brief resum? ot some ofthe more important features of practice under the proposed Code, I shall say nothing as to the comparative merits or the two systems. That the new method will, at, first, find many and bitter enemies, there is little doubt. Some antideluvian fossils in New York coniinuc their sneers at it even to Hie present day, though it has been in operation there for twenty-one years. And to the ques? tion, put conumdnim-wlse, "Why David Hud ley Field and the othei members of the prac? tice commission were like au individual suf? fering lrom a severe attack of Influenza ?" the irreverent and shocking answer lias been re? turned, that it was because they "had a bad code iu their heads." Throe results, however, will pretty certainly follow the change, namely: 1st. That practitioners' under- thc old sys? tem will continue to prefer it until thev forget if. 2d. That then they will continue to prefer the new system until they understand it. 3d. That thc trades and handicrafts will lose many an excellent workman to furnish tlie profession with that-ot" which lt has al? ready a sufficient supply ! Hoping that I shall not trespass on your printer's case (lt can't be done under Hie code 1) Yours, ?fcc, AUGUSTUS B. KNOWLTON, Oakland, near Fort Motte, December 27, 1869. RAILROADS.

The human stom? ach ls to the human system what that elastic piece of metal ls to a chronometer. It influences thc action of the other organs, and coutrols, to a certain extent, the whole living machine. The comparison may bc carried further; for as thc weakness or other imperfections of tho malu spring ls Indicated on the face of the tlrae-plece, so also ls thc weakness or other disorder or the stomach betrayed by Hie face or the Invalid. The complexion ls sallow or faded, the eyes arc defi? cient in lustre and Intelligence, and there is a worn, anxious expression In the whole counte? nance, which tells as plainly as wrltteu words could do that thc great nourishing organ, whose odldc it is to minister to thc wants of thc body, and to sustain aud renew all Its parts, ls not per? forming Ita duty. It requires renovating and regulating, and to accomplish this end HOSTET TE R'S STOMACH BITTERS may be truly said to be thc one thing needful. Thc broken main spring of a watch may be replaced by a new one, but thc stomach can only bc repaired and strengthened, and this is one of thc objects of the famous vegetable restorative which for eighteen years has been waging a successful contest with dyspepsia in all climates. As a specific for Indi? gestion lt stands alone. When the resources of thc pharmacopoeia have been exhausted, without at best doing more than mitigating the complaint, a course or this wholesome and palatable, yet powerful stomachic effects a perfect and perma? nent cure. In all cases of dyspepsia thc liver is more or less disordered, and upon this important gland, aa well as upou thc stomach and bowels, thc Bitters act with singular distinctness, regulat? ing and reinvigorating every secretive and as? similating organ on which bodily mid mental health depend.
