TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEWS.
If there is any .subject that has ever exer?
cised the minds otthe people of this section ot'
our State, it is thc subject of labor. Generally,
political economists tell us, trade adopts one ot
nature's laws and abhors a vacuum-that sup?
ply will equal demand, and demand will com?
pel a supply, Not 60 on this mammoth ques?
tion ot labor. Thc whites demand and offer
to purchase; the blacks (und some of them
white as to color) hold the supply and refuse
to sell. Is thu a wholesome state ol' affairs:
Commercially, or in a manufacturing point of
view, this would be called "a strike." Not so
here. No higher wages aro demanded. Nor
has any misunderstanding-arisen between em?
ployer and employee. But a subtle determi?
nation on the part of tho freeedmen to ex?
clude themselves from all association or iuflu
circe of the white citizens of our country is
rapidly driving one class to want and the oilier
to exasp?ration. And as a calm looker on ot
ovenis I must think the Legislature of our
State ?B being used as a mighty lever lo pro?
duce anything else than a quietus of this per?
turbed slate bf affairs.
It is useless to rt-1er to our hybrid Legisla?
ture as being a forcible argument against the
existence nt present of a republican form ol"
government in our State. That the taxpayers
have no representation is patent. Bul let us
sec what weight the acts of this Legislature
have in creating the existing excitement on
the labor question.
In 1868 the Legislature passed a bill,
giving, under certain conditions, perma?
nent possession to lessees of lands sold for
taxes. Subsequently, a bill was passed crea?
ting tho oilier of land commissioner, who
was empowered to buy up, in the name of
the State, any and all lauds sold uuder any pre?
text or for any cause, publicly or privately,
aud no restrictions were imposed except as to
limit of price per acre. Under this bill, a lund
commissioner (Senator Leslie) was appoint?
ed, and he has dotted his purchases or State
investments all over the State.
And just here let me digress a little, and In?
form you that some strange tales arc told of
thia man's purchases. He often buys, {I'm
told; lt's well enough to say this 'Tm told,"
whether I know whcreol I speak or not,) ut
six dollars per acre, and has, by some species
of legerdemain, (well, enough not to be too
minute,) the titles made out as if the land
costs ten dollars per acre. I suppose this ex?
tra four dollars is paid over to cue Kimptou au
a creditor of the Stale, Ac.
But to return. Amongst other purchases
Leslie bought a tract ol' perhaps two thousand
acres in Abbeville County, known as the Mar?
shall estate. Perhaps UOOO acres were bought,
with a single reservation, that the premises,
(ujti dwelling.) and 200 acres attached should
not be occupied or cultivated by the freedmen;
{vour'quoi?) This gave to the freedmen of
the cornily an Implied right to thc remainder
of thc plantation. And accepting Hie implica?
tion, hosts of squatters-, perhaps as many as
two hundred, came swarming in from every
section, and located on the Marshall plan?
tation. For mile? around no labor could
bo hired; planters became discouraged;
lands depreciated and could scarcely be
given away; these squatters brought neith?
er clothing nor meal, corn nor mules,
aud in a lew weeks jur-t such a state of affairs
existed in that section as perhaps wus never
felt before in ?my portion ol South Carolina or
elsewhere. Thin purchase alone has created u
discontent in Abbeville County equalled only
by that Irritating source of trouble-the vile
constabulary, tl ow this soliente is lo termi?
nait? practically, no one can tell. Tho freed?
men will Certainly be the sufferers ultimately,
but what inconveniences thc laud-owners und
employers are in the meantime, to experience
only they can appreciate.
I'm toid (you see how well "Pm told" an?
swers as an expletive) that Governor Scott,
has issued orders lo have tile Mar.-duU estate
cleared ol' its occupants unles? the heads ol'
families cuu each tut nish amule and proven?
der, with family rations fur a twelvemonth, lt
this bc true, Senator Let-lie will next fall have
to sell out, and "buy lu," or the purchase of
the Marshall estate will huve proven a delhi
cati un upon the treasury of thu Sute in uluru
ways than one. I uiu convinced that, for the
Southern planter, inured to slave labor, there
is no laborer like the negro. But the negro
laborer, denim .Glued by itu-alien mountebank
that curses our political existence, la a carse
to any country. Bat enough.

COLUMBIA, January 17.
CHARLESTON EXTENSION.
To-day, in the Senate, thc following petition,
signed by Messrs. Theodore A. Whitney, William
Hunt, A. Higgins, H. W. Kinsman, J. C. H. Claus
scn, J. C. Bradley, John Mapas, John W. Martin,
Thomas S. Dunn, Henry Williams. W. II. Pratt,
John W. White, C. H. Cordes and Wm. C. Carston,
was read :
To the Senate oj South Carolina, now in session:
We, thc undersigned, property owners, farmers
and residents ol" St. Philip's and St. Michael's,
living and farming outside or thc city limits ol
i he City oi Charleston, respectfully petition your
honorable body to take our case into considera?
tion, before you pass an act so detrimental to our
interest, and to which every property-holder and
larmer is so diametrically opposed, as thc bill
that has been acted upon by ttieLegislature. Wo
feel certain or thc wish or the Inhabitants, had it
been known, they would have been respected, and
no such action would have received thc sanction
of that honorable body.
And as the bill la now before the Senate, wc
hope your honorable body will take our petition,
which does nut embrace one-third of the resi?
dents that are opposed to lt. Thc following names
comprise thc largest portion of the property ewn
era embraced lu the bill now before your honora?
ble body, and hope and trust you will reject the
passage.
The Extension bill will probably be kicked out
of thc Senate to-morrow. The members of the
House almost unanimously voted for Uusfflm,
and 6eem very proud of their bantling, aud or
punishing all who do not look upon lt so favor?
ably. Having heard that there was a probability
of the senators unceremoniously ejecting it from
thc portals of the Senate chamber, into which it
was sent to be weaned, and to leave it a full
grown, healthy child, they have iutimated to the
senators that ir such a course be pursued they
will imitate it and as unceremoniously kick out
of the House all matters sent from the Senate.
These threats were intended to influence the
senators to vote for thc "Extension bill," but they
have had an entirely diifercut effect from what
was intended. The senators arc indignant, and
will probably vote almost unanimously against
it. The leading senators assert that they despise
these threats, and shall pcrrect and pass such
bills as they please and believe to bc to the inter?
ests of thc people of the State, and that the
House may take tho responsibility of defeating
th?in; that there arc a sjreat many of the mem?
bers of tiic House who should not bc returned,
and if they arc alic wed to pursue their own
course they will furnish the means by which
their election will be defeated.
WILL Tui-io: rd A nann
nie feeling on thc part of the senators and
members is iutense, and this "tit for tat" policy
vt ill probably bc carried out-no resolutions or
bills from the one body will be entertained by the
? tn r. Perhaps there may be a small sized row.
It is proposed that ir there bc auy danger or a
collision, the President of thc Senate, (Corbin,)
and thc Speaker of the House, (Moses,) bc allowed
to settle the adair for both bodies. But it is
/urged by some that it would not be a fair light
as Corbin ls a heavy and Moses a "light weight ;"
but it is urged on thc other hand that Moses has
had the advantage of serving "uuder two flags,"
(thc Confederate and the United States Hags
issuing rat ms under one and drawing stamps
under the other,) while Corbin only fought uuder
one. If the contest comes off Corbin will have to
"go under;" he cannot possibly withstand thc
onset of an opponent armed with two "quarrels
just," and nerved by thc love of two countries
and two colors.
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.
When thc joint resolution to meet In Joint as
scmbly on Tuesday, the 18th instant, (to-morrow,)
to go into an election to flit the vacancy on the
Supreme bench, caused by the resignation of
Judge H?ge, came into the Senate, it was refer?
red to the Judiciary Committee, one or whom
(Wright) was instructed by thc committee to re?
port. To-day l.c reported that the committee had
amended the resolution so as to provide for hold?
ing an election lor associate Justice on the -J&th.
As the res? luth-n is amended, it provides for thc
election of an associate Justice, rot to mi Hie va?
cancy caused by Uogc's rcsigualion, but to fill
thc ons cc for tko haig term. Corbin, who ls
Chairman of thc Judiciary Committee, arose as
soon as the report was read and staled that he
did not com ur in it. As I understand it, Wright ls
or thc opinion thal thc Governor should appoint
an associate justice to nil thc vacancy. But it is
asserted that thc Governor has no power to do so
under thc constitution. Thc resolution wa-laid
over under the rules. When it comes up lt will be
amended so as to provide only for theillliugor
thc vacancy.
When au election was first talked or Judge Orr
aud Whipper were the most prominently spoken
ot. But since then a report has been circulated
that Judge Orr had refused lo allow His name io
bc usu! in that connection, whereupon many ot
his supporters agreed to support Wright; since
which time he and Whipper only have been
thought or Tor thc place. Thc friends of Whipper,
seeing that Wright would stand a fair chance ol
election, determined to remove him from the
field, and, if report bc true, have induced him to
leave, promising to reward him for this sacrifice
by electing him to thc office of Lieutenant-Cover,
nor. Whether this report be true or not, I have uo
means or knowing; but certain lt is that now
Whipper's name only ls mentioned, and doubtless
he will step into Doge's shoes.
WHO WILL ><E LIKUTENANT-OOVERNORT
According to thc report above slated, Wright is
to be supported by some of the Radicals for the
oftlce of Lleutcnaut-Govcrnor, but his chances for
that position are very slight. Thc general im?
pression is that Scott and Frank Moses, Jr., are
to tic thc candidates or the Republican party in
the coining campaign for Hie offices of Governor
and Lleutcnaut-Govcrnor; that after they are
elected Scott will bc sent to the United States
Senate, and Moses will beeonio Governor, of
course. Now, this was a nice little plan, but thc
ambition or a parental relative of nue of thc par?
ties will probably cause lt to "gang aglee." Chid
Justice Moses has, as asserted, a desire to cast
oh* bb Judicial rubes and become a senator from
South Carolina. How to gratify this very natur;.*
desire of the chief justice aud ut thc same time
carry out the plan mentioned, ls the vexed qucs
Hon among the Radicals. Some or them, how?
ever, propose to settle it by electing Scott and
Moses to the oOlccs referred to, let thcui retulu
them, und scud the cider Justice to thc Senate.
LAND no I
The Committee on Finance, to whom wns re?
committed the bill "i? authorize Hie appropria?
tion or one million dollars lu Slate bonds Tor thc
purchase of lands lu this State for homesteads, "
reported to-day by WU, statii g that they lett
blank the auiuuut to be uppioj ri ?cd, deeming
thc subject and thc amount of bonds to be applied
ol too much importance to be decided by the com
m<i.tee. and that tti* Senate shuuhl fill the blank.
Thc bill provides that the amount or-In
bouda of thc State lie appropriated for thc use of
th- said coiuiuiivslon lu the purchase ol' lands
parsaaal to inc ac; "lo provide ror thu appoint -
men: or a land commissioner Bnd to denne his
powers un i duties." Thc report aud bill were
laid over under the rales.
CHARLESTON ORPHAN ASYLUM.
I have mentioned that several of tho-Trie
o? i lie orphan asylum under thc charge
'.The Sisters or Our Laity or Mercy," or Chai
ton, and which was destroyed during thc b
hardnicnt, were circulating a petition request
Congress to grant them aid to rebuild tl
asylum. To-day Corbin Introduced into
Seuatc thc following joint resolution, which '
adopted and sent to thc House:
Ifkertas, The Sisters or Charity, or Chariest
S. C., Incorporated under the name or thc "
tors or Our Lady or Mercy, Charleston, S. C.,
religious and charitable association, were
ceasing and untiring lu their elforts during
recent long and terrible struggle In relieving p
and suffering, dressing and binding up of
wounds or the suffering combatants-, cspccii
thc unfortunate prisoners ot Hie Union army <1
ing their contin?ment in Charleston; and whe
as, by thc fortunes ot war their asylum for
phans, valued at twenty thousand dollars, i
destroyed, or nearlv so; therefore
Res?lvHl, hythe Senate, the House of Ref
sentatives concurring, That the Congress of
United States is hereby earnestly requested to
propriatc and pay to "the Sisters of Our Lady
Mercy of Charleston, S. C.," the sum of twei
thousand dollars to rebuild their shattered a
lum, and as a testimonial of appreciation a
gratitude from the American people to th
angels of mercy for their multiplied offices
kindness and humanity to thc suffering soldi
of thc Union.
SENSIBLE.
The Senate Judiciary Committee repon
upon a variety of subjects this morning, ame
them the "bill to repeal thc act to secure i
vanees for agricultural purposes," stating tl
the "act has been and ls or great service to t
planters or thc State In carrying on their pla
lng interests; and believing that Its repeal woi
be a most disastrous blow at them and the gn
interest they represent," they would rccommc
that it do not pass, and asked that the report
considered at once. Their request was granti
thc report taken np and adopted-killing t
bill-the introduction or which, however, t
supporters of it claim accomplish the purpc
desired.
THE FI ULIS CREEK RAILROAD.
In the Senate, to-day, Jillson Introduced a t
to Incorporate the "Fiblin Creek Railroad Coi
pai:y," which provides that Geo. AV. Wilban
Ceo. S. Cameron, Robert Adger, Wm. L. BradU
0. A. Moses, Wm. C. Bee, W. G. Whlldcn. Jara
H. Taylor, Chas. C. Coe, Wm. Birnie, A. J. Mos<
J. T. Welsman, P. S. Crowell and Jos. R. Robe
son, be Incorporated under the above name, wi
may build a railroad and extend it and its branc
es not to exceed ten miles, from a point nc
Johu's Island Ferry, Stono River, to a point ne
thc mouth or Fiblin Creek, Cooper River, crossit
at or near Bee's Ferry.
CHECKS AND SCRIP.
The bill offered by Wright "to prevent persot
from Issuing checks and scrip to bc used t
money," which was referred to thc Judicial
Committee, was reported upon to-day with tl
recommendation that lt do not pass. Thc coi
mlttce stated that "it was not aware that there
any general system prevailing by which pcrsoi
do issue and circulate checks or scrip as money.
Check?, drarts or bills or exchange and premiss
ry notes have been known to thc Dnanclal wor
for a lime "whereof thc memory of man rannet
not to thc contrary." They have become a pa
and parcel of almost every important bus
ness transaction, and business is greatly fi
cilBatcd by them; In fact, thc wheels of bi
slness would stop were thc usc or them forbidilci
These checks, drafO?, &c, ure not used and ri
eula td r.s rooney In any proper sense, but siinpl
as the representative or value. They are give
and received only In proportion to thc contldenc
had in thc party Issuing them. It is possible lin
fraud and deception arc perpetrated by then!
but this is occasioned, not fruin any iutrinsi
wrong in thc system, or beeatise it furnishes fi
cllity for fraud and deception, but because of th
dishonesty and trickery of men themselves. Tba
ls an evil we cannot remedy by legislation. 1
belongs to thc domain of thc reformer und Chris
Han teacher. To pass this biil would be au al
tempt to break up a system aud mode of doini
business approved by time, and which cunno
now be dispensed with." Thc report wus no
acted upon.
ANOTHER OFFICE FOR CORBIN.
When the Educational bill came up in the Ilous<
to-day, and section 21st (which provides that th
Governor shall fill all vacancies iu thc board o
school commissioners caused by death, resigna
Hon or otherwise,) was under consideration
O'Connell moved to amend the above clause bj
adding "by and with thc advice aud consent o
Hie Senate." DeLargc moved to strike out tin
word "Senate" aud insert "?. T. Corbin." iii
then expressed his great desire to give Corbin a
least one office for his arduous and well-knowr
services iu behalf or thc colored people; but lu
was sorry thut this was not an ofllce or prollt, ai
the senator deserved'one or that character; but ,
then, he knew the able, wise and distinguisher
senator would accept. After DeLargc hud showti
this bit ol spite, thc House amended Die bill so af
to provide that Jillson'B term or oif.ee will expire
next October, instead or lu 187- aa provided for lu
the bill, lt is not nt all probable that the Senate
will agree to this amendment.
CATFISH AM) CIVIL RIGHTS.
Th? Senate resolution appointing J. A. Greene,
w. McKinlay and thc Attorney-General, as proxies
to represent the State Hock nt the next annual
meeting of thc South Carolina Railroad Company,
came up in thc House to day. DeLargc moved
toIndclluitcly postpone thc consideration of the
resolution, and In support or bis motion mudo a
speech, during which bc said substantially that
on lust Friday night he, with several others, went
to Charleston on thc South Carolina Railroad
train. Tile party had tlrst-elass tickets, but were
pitt in Hie second-class car, where there were be?
fore their arrival only persons with second-class
tickets. On the way down a dozen negroes caiue
Into thc car, each one with a string of stinking
catfish, aud staid lu there. Now, last summer,
when 1 lived lu Summerville I got Into a second
class car with a Hiring of "sheepshead," fine,
choice, delicious Uah, but thc conductor compel?
led me to put my fish in thc freight car. lint the
South Carolina Railroad Company have different
regulations now; and last Friday night thc ac
coiiniiodatlug conductor deemed it a "matter or
course" that negro legislators and catfish should
travel together. Now 1 want n change in thc
management or this ro?d; il has been run long
enough In thc Interest or a certain family. Thu
men named In thc resolution may be good men,
but I want a caucus held and good men named
meu pledged to cast the State vote to secure a
new management. His motion to iudcfiiiitely
postpone was put and carried.
COOSAWHATCUIU COFNTY.
Thc bill to create thc County ol Coosawha?ohle,
which was leported upon last week by tuc Com?
mittee on County Oillces and Officers, was lakcn
up to-day in thc Senate. Tho committee recom?
mend Hie bill bc passed, " In view ot the facts
thal thc county is so very large, beiHg about one
hundred miles each way, with the court house
at Beaufort,causing a large majority or the peo?
ple who attend court to go from lilly to scveuty
tlve miles, und havtug been assured by good and
responsible cliizcus or said county that they
will build a courthouse und furnish all thc neces?
sary buildings for county purposes frota their
privu'.c funds."
LESLIE AND DEMOCRATS.
A - soon ns it was decided io aousidcr thc bill,
Leslie took thu floor, aud argued that tho creat?
ing of the Comity of Cousawhatciiie would uot
remedy the evil complaiued of, and which exist?
ed in nearly all of the counties tu the western
tier from Deaufort to Abbeville-tue extent of thc
counties and Hie difficulty in reaching the scats
or justice; he would Ilka to kuuw who would bc
sent to represent the county, what manner ol
man; a Democrat, perhaps; he didn't want any
more or them in the Senate; those who were herc
now didn't know the Brut idea or true Repub
licaimm, and wonl t, if th. y had the power,
attempt to overturn the proscut guveriiientof the
State, and even impeach the senators' bur tts
they had not thc rower thry sat silcLl aid dbl
what they could with their votes, lie then
moved ?is a substitute for the first section or the
bill, which defines thc boundaries or the county,
that the whole matter bc referred to thc Judiciary
Committee, who shall bring hi a bill authorizing
thc Governor io appoint three discreet persons,
whose duty it shall be to subdivide the counties
or Beaufort, Collcton, Edgcfleld, Barnwell, Orange
burg, Lexington aud Abbeville, in such a way as
to make three or more new counties, as they may
deem proper, and to place thc scats ot justice
within reach ol all.
WRIGHT'S T1EW8.
Wright said he would second the motion only
to make a speech, and stated that he desired it to
bc understood that this move to make a new
county was not a party measure, but one to bene?
fit both colored and whites alike. Thc persons in?
terested In this measure have removed the only
objection urged against it by pledging themselves
to pay thc expenses necessary to erect buildings
for county purposes.. As lt is now, many of those
win have business at court cannot attend, be?
cause of thc distance and expense. These per?
sons living iu thc upper portion or Beaufort Coun?
ty have to travel about seventy-five miles and
cross several ferries. Tu refuse to pass this bill,
and not to allow them to have a scat or Justice in
their vicinity, ls a ritual denial or justice to thc
people living in thescction rcrerrcd to. Thc senator
from Barnwell wants to know who wilt represent
this county. I do not know, but I doubt uot he will
be as good a man as there ls here, even as good as
thc senator from Barnwell. [Leslie: That Is im?
possible. Wright: Well, yes, I believe lt ls impos?
sible to get just such another man.] The senator
from Barnwell says he don't want any more
Democrats here. I say ir wc can get as good
Democrats as these herc now, we'll get as good
men as wc need to represent that county; at
least, I'll bc satisfied. Thc people of my section
arc reconstructed, and thc man they elect will
sustain the govern ment-obi things with them
?cern to have passed away. Leslie: I want to
know if you (W.) don't believe that If thc Demo?
crats were In authority here they would Impeach
thc Radical senators. Wright: That would de?
pend on what kind of Democrats they were. If
they were pure Democrats, they would not. They
would give all of us our rights. If I, black as lam,
were sent here by thc people, I believe they would
allow me the same rights as they themselves en?
joyed or claimed. Some more sparring or this
kind occurred, Leslie all the while attempting to
make Wright assert that he believed Democrats
were blacker than even the Devil is painted,
which Wright would not do, but slill asserted
substantially what he before said of them, round?
ing his belief on what he had seen or those In lils
own county. After this by-play, Wright argued
in opposition to Leslie's substitute, asserting that
It seemed very much like an insult to thc people
to refer to commissioners a inaner in which thc
people themselves were vitally intutested and
knew their grievances, and had presented them
to those whom they had elected to represent
them, to takecogulzcucc of their grievances ami
to legislate eo as to abate thom. Arter conclud?
ing this linc or argument he sat down, stalin? ns
he did so '.tat he withdrew his second to Leslie's
motion. After some further remarks from one or
two of thc senators, the subject-matter was inade
thc special order for Thursday next.
sneitiKKs^m CLERKS.
The bill to designate thc officers by whom sales
ordered liv thc Courts of Common Pleas, and

viding Hint all sales of personal or real estate, or
other interest hereafter ordered to be made by
thc Courts of Common Pleas or Courts of Probate,
shall be made by the sheriff of thc county in
which said real or personal estate or other inter?
est is at the time said sale ls ordered, was taken
up In the Senate to-day. A vole was taken upon
a qrestloti to postpone thc consideration or it, but
a quorum not voting, the Senate adjourned.
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Thc bill to Incorporate thc Edgeflcld Agricultu?

last Thursday, has not yet been acted upon. It
simply provides that Sirus Walker, Alexander

STEWART'S DRY O O ODS PALACE.
A Mammoth Establlihment.
Mr. Edward Cropsey makes an interesting
article in thc Galaxy out of thc great "Tenth
street store" of A. T. Stewart, under thc hoad
of "A Monument of Trade." Tho following
paragraphs which embody thc most striking
Blullsllcs ol thc establishment, will convoy
thc best idea of im magnitude :
Thc visitor soon finds that everything is
done on a system per.'eclly organized and per?
fectly administered. There are thirty ushers
to direct Inquirers to different department1?,
for this store is really a collection of mau- dif?

of articles has its separate counters and is
known as a department. Of these there arc

muslins, gloves, laces, hosiery, shawls, suits,
furs, Yankee notions, velvets, upholstery,
ladies' ttudcr-wear, cloaks, bouuets, carpets,

WASHINGTON, January 18.
Great inteicst was manifested in the discus?
sion of the admission of Virginia in thc Senate
to-day. Ko progress, however, was made, and
there was no excitement beyond that occasioned
by a philippic from Sumner against Governor
Walker of Virginia. Butler and ningham were on
the iloor of the Senate urging their respective
views. Speeches were delivered by Thayer, Rico,
Brake, Stewart and Morton. A proposition to fix
a time to-morrow for a vote was hooted at.
Pending the debate the Senate adjourned.
In thc House thc day was consumed exclu?
sively with the consideration of the League Island
navy yard and thc appropriations.
. The Congressional committees arc all busy.
The House Committee on Elections arc about to
take up thc South Carolina case. The sub-com?

WASHINGTON, January 17.
Thc history of the Virgiuia struggle will be
memorable at least In thc volumes uf the con?
gressional Globe. Since the d?bale commenced
ol?the question of the admission of that State,
one week ago to-day, three hundred and fifty
columns of verbatim reports of thc discussion
have been printed, nnd there will be fifteen or
twenty more of the debate going on In the Senate
as 1 write; and yet so degenerated In ability is
thc Senate aud House of Representatives of the
United States in Congress assembled, that
lt is doubtful if, out of some filty speeches
made on this question, more tliau one
or two can bc regarded as first-class. Those that
have commanded the most attention when they
were delivered, were those of Judge Blughum, of
Olno, on thc Republican side, and Hon. S. S. Cox,
of New York, on thc Democratic side; and the
least among the many, was "Benjamin Franklin
Whlttcmore, or South Carolina," as he ls styled
by thc roll-call or thc House. Mr. Cox Indulged
lu so keen a vein or ridicule in picturing Hie "fun?
damental conditions" which Wiiittemore sought
to exact rrom thc State, (but which were repudi?
ated by thc House,) thar tho members and specta?
tors were convulsed willi laughter. Mr. C. spoke
ol the "Mosaic Convention which wintered In
Richmond lu 1807-03," and proceeded to ask:
Who will say that a conven lou made up id thc
Underwoods, "Wellses and Chandlers, (thu succes?
sors of Jefferson, Ocorge Mason und Madison

which the historian Allson gazed when he
saw "British great nos setting In thc Old lu

ing valleys and hills of Virginia shall smile with
cultivation, her population ol twenty-live millions
shall bc elevated in thc culture ot the advanced
century; her magnificent riverai bear her produce

Virginia convention ami this Congress still sound?

Never I never disturb thc work ot thc Mosaic

and with them all wisdom dies I
In striking coutrast with the temper or most or
thc Radical members or thc House, exhibited In
this Virginia discussion, was the speech or Mr.
Fitch, or Nevada, a new and young member of
thc House, and a thoroughgoing Republican. lu
appealing to Congress to admit the Slate without
B:ether conditions, he said:
Fur myself I will not deny her; I can feel no re?
joicing for her humilia;lon; 1 will not bingil ni
ber cab why ; I cannot, mock her woe. Arter all
ls auld. Republican though I mn. she is apart or
my country, and I ?ill not Insult bri snrruws.
For Virginia as of old, tor arrogant, rebellious-,

and devastation rrom the mountains to the sea.

smoke (ff battle, for Virginia who places her fully
ami brr sin behind her, for Virginia clothed In
thc garments of freedom und willi tho pledge or
equal rights upon her lips. I can lind nu words
save those or welcome and confidence and cheer.
Kow that this Virginia question is ont or the
way, Congress Intends turning Its nttoutluii to
tiictax,ami tariffand appropriation bills, or
course Mississippi will bc along this week or
next, but the chairman or the Reconstruction
Committee stans that she can be admitted under
thc moving or thc previous question ; that there ls
no objection to her admission, and that conse?
quently nota word of debate ls necessary. On
the Senate side, there ure one or two important
t rcat les tobe satisfied or rejected-it Ls hard to
say which will result-but there is not much baste
manifested over them, ror senators very general
ly seem avcr.-e tu the San Domingo treaty; and
as regards tue money expended by the Executive
for Hie Santana Bay lease, there ls a very gent
rat agrcenteat tUut Congress must take some |
step to put nn end forever to Hie latitude allowed
Hie last ami thc present administrations of mak
ing appropriations of public monies In viola
tion of law. Following this comes the most im
portant feature of the remainder of thc session
the financial question; and it ls almost safe to
say that both Houses will pass a funding bill,
but will fix thc interest not below five per cent.
They will also provide for free banking on a coln
basis, but will not enlarge the present national
banking system. Next to thc financial question
ls the bill to Incorporate the Southern Pacific
Railroad on Hie thirty-fifth parallel, and the
Memphis and Fl Paso Road on a more southernly
route. Tuc former asks for land grants and no
subsidies of money, and the latter professes that
it wants nothing but thc right of way through
the public lands. Roth parties arc on hand, and
will make a good fight. It is very doubtful if
Congress grants any subsidies. The general am?
nesty bill, to which I have heretofore alluded, ls
hung up for the present, and thc business of ped?
dling pardons by Congressional enaclment ls to
go on for a little longer. Whlttemore and other
carpet-bag members are mainly responsible for
that.
Prince Arthur, Queen Victoria's third child, will
visit Washington next week as thc guest or the
English Minister, Thornton. Extensive prepara?
tions have been In progress some time at thc Brit?
ish Legation for thc reception or this scion of
royalty, though lt ls understood that it is not the
intention to make any public demonstration or
have any general ovation on thc occasion of his
arrival, or subsequent to it. He comes merely on
a visit to Washington and will remain but a week.
Of course he will call on the President, and In re?
turn will doubtless be Invited to a State dinner.
When his brother, Prince Albert, visited Wash?
ington, ten years ago, he was very generally feted
by all whom he favored with his presence.
Thc fashionable season ls in its fall flush, bat
thc rush is not so great as last winter, and, as
the result, it ls claimed that there is more style
and better people to make up the loss in atten?
dance. At the President's levee, the Speaker's
receptions, and Secretary Fish's parties, people
can move about with case, and the ladies display
their toilettes with some pleasure. Not so lust
winter, and the other seasons of the past.
Amusements are doing well. Two theatres are
open, and next week the Italian Opera with
Louise Kellogg becomes a feature. Z.
A REMINISCENCE OF BYRON.
His Viiit to tho United States Frigate
Constitution, in 1822.
A correspondent of the Boston Transcript
writes:
IQ 1844 I was lieutenant on board the United
Slates ship St. Louis, in thc China seas, com?
manded by Captain Isaac Mc Kee ver, who one
day Informed me in the course of laminar con?
versation ttoal he was on board thc frigate
Constitution, and officer of the deck and
watch, when Lord Byron visited thc Constitu?
tion in 1822. He said Lord Byron was very
much embarrassed by his reception, all the
officers being assembled on deck in full uni?
form and the marines drawn up under arras
to receive him. Count Guinbra, the father ot
the too celebrated Countess Gnlccioli, accom?
panied him. An elegantly bound volume of
an American edition of his poems was lying
on the cabin table, which he examined, with
the remark that il was the handsomest com?
pliment ever paid him.
At that time the pronunciation of his name
wa* disputed in the Uuiled Mates, and Com?
modore Jacob Jones, who commanded the
Mediterranean squadron, of Which Hie Consti?
tution was the flagship-a man of great sim?
plicity of character-put the direct question to
him : "Pray, my lord, which is the moro cor?
rect pronunciation of your name-Be-ron or
Kyron ?" Lord Byron's reply, though not a
direct one, settles the question os to which he
favored, lie hesitated a moment, said Captain
Mc Kee vcr, and then said: uMy grandfather
called me By-ron; my mother called mc By-ron;
my guardian, Be-ron ?"-intoning his Voice,
and speaking of his grandfather with pride, of
his mother with affection, but of his guardian
with contempt. Yet, notwithstanding this de?
claration, I have 6ccn his name written in his
own handwriting-eilher on the walls of the
Bridge of Sighs, or on a column of the Temple
of Theseus at Athens, I forget which-and
spelled Beron or Biron, certainly not with a y.
He remained a full hour on board thc Con?
stitution, and who. he left was escorted on
shore In the commodore's barge by Captain
McKeover, then a young lieutenant. At the
landing, Lord Byron politely Invited Lieuten?
ant McKccvcr to come and see bim, but with
this caution-"I am not an early riser."
Lord Byron mentions in his journal or letters
that a lady begged a rose from him-that lady
was Mrs. Smith, the wife of our Consui ut
Smyrna, I believe. She pulled the flower to
pieces, suylug she Intended a leaf for each of
lier female f riends, tho admirers of his lord?
ship's poems in America. The next day he sent
her a volume of his poems accompanied by a
note. And it was iu allusion to this visit
und its Incident that he wrote Tom Moore:
"Ho would rather have a noil from an Ameri?
can than a snuff-box from an Emperor." The
commodore offered to place a schooner of the
squadron at his disposal to lake him to Greece,
where lie died, but he declined. At the time
of this visit Captain McKecvcr said lie was
handsome and distingu?, and his hair was
long und curliug, and he wore whiskers. His
hair was black, but generously sprinkled with
gray, aud he was beginning to be corpulent.

Tile artists of the "art preservative of all arts"

bel ween New York and Cincinnati composi?

of Cincinnati, has had a standing challenge to
set typo willi any fellow-craftsman for $1000,
"to work live or eight hours a day on solid,
straight matter, the type not to be larger than
brevier nor smaller than agate." Yesterday
Mr. George Arensberg, employed in the Times
office, called attila Clipper'office with a tew
frioudH, und left a counter challenge, at the
same time depositing $100 as an earnest of his
intentions. Mr. Arensberg, who is known
among his friends as "Tho Velocipede," ac?
cepts Barber's challenge, thc only change ID
the terms being that he wants 'to work ten
hours only. Ile offers Barber $100 to come to
New York, or he will take the same sum and
go to Cincinnati. Barber is said lo have set
17,800 solid minion ia ten hours. This is rapid
work. The friends of Arensberg do not say
what he lias accomplished heretofore, but are
willing to back him with their money. The
trial of skill ls u be made within a month,

SORGO SUGAR AND REFINED
SYRUP.
We would invite the attention of Planters to
the consideration of some of the advantages in
the cultivation of SORGO as a Crop, which are,
the small amount of labor; the hardy character
of the plant in its ability to endure, without ma?
terial injury, both drought and wet; its freedom
from the attack of worms; Its early maturing,
and thc fact that thc Seed, and every part of toe
plant is of great value.
In consequence of the imperfect method
hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice of this
Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belief
that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very
inferior Syrup. But, by thc discovery of the
Southern Process, these opinions have been com?
pletely reversed In the minds of all those who
have examined and tested this Process, as they
realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the
best Chemical Syrups of the Refineries, is pro?
duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or?
leans, in such qnantlty, os to make It without
doubt, the most profitable crop that can be plant?
ed. Of these facts abundant evidence can be
shown.
Any information on this subject can be obtain?
ed by applying to Mr. F. G. CART, Charleston, 8.

Agent, and who will be prepared to furnish pure
