He was carried to the police station in an insensible condition. -Advices from Paris state that In the Corps L?gislatif, Wednesday, the proposition of M. Creny, that the presidents or the chambers have a right to demand an armed force when necessary to insure the freedom of their deliberations, was debated. Emnnuel Arago, In a speech, recalled the fact that a similar demand was made in the chambers ten days before the coup cVetat of 1851, but was then rejected. After an exciting debate, the proposal was defeated. -A special to the Courier from Lebanon, Ky., says a mob of about seventy-five men attempted to take two men of Washington Connty out or Springfield Jail on Monday night to hang them. They were charged with rape. United States soldiers were detailed at the rennest of the coun? ty judge- to guard the jail, bul they defended themselves. One of the mob snick a pistol into the cell, and one of the prisoners knocked the pistol out of the assassin's hand, and with that drove off the mob. -A story comes from Bangor of the death, In the Maine wilderness, of four out of five persons, with their two horses, who were on a hunting and Obiing excursion. Thc sole survivor, who ls a Frenchman, says that thc party for the first fortnight had good luck and rare sport; then one of them was taken with diptherin, and being fifty miles rrom any medical assistance, died within a few hours. Within three days three more perish 3d of the same disease, and the remaining one was seized with lt. He lay in a stupor so long that when he recovered thc horses had died of famine, and the wolves had partly devoured the corpses of his companions, which had been buried in thc mow outside the camp for preservation. Arter untold suffering he reached an Indian camp, and later came to ihe abodes of white people. -The coroner or New York City held an Inquest Tuesday afternoon ou thc body or the murdered grocer, Townsend. The room was crowded with spectators, as were also the various passages lead? ing thereto. The wife aud children of thc mur? dered man testified to Hie circumstances of the case, and at times were so overcome with emo? tion that the inquest could not proceed. The facts testified to were simply a corroboration of those beretororc reported. When the prisoner was brought forward to be examined, he stolid? ly reused lo answer any questions put to Bim by the coroner relative to his name, ?ge or nativity. Coroner Flynn became in dignint at his conduct, and remarked that bis silence would not save his life. "How many years will lt be?.' Inquired the prisoner. "Tajre will bc no years about lt,*' replied the deputy coroner, Dr. Shine. "No," remarked the coroner, "I wouldn't give you more than six weeks to live." Reynolds, or Bream, if such is his name, was taken back to his cell, after first denying that his name was Reynolds, and refus? ing to give his right name. He was subsequently visited in his cell by the coroner and his deputy, when he was induced to confess that he commit? ted thc murder. He had entered the grocery ror the purpose of s'caling, and after quarrelling with thc deceased, stabbed him. "I hope I will get a fair show," said thc prisoner. -The New Yorkers almost mobbed Prince Arthur when he took a walk np Firth Avenue, following bim like wolves, and so fiercely that he had to ran home. Otto or thc reporters talked with thc cook or thc hotel to discover what he ate; another pushed himself into his room in the hotel, and, opening the drawers or trunks, looked at the vonni man's jewels. Ile says he saw scarf-pins, thc gilt of his brother, miniatures or thc Queen, shirts studs upon which arc portraits or thc Queen, lockets containing the royal Alice's hair, scarf-pins made of representations or the French, English and Turkish flags, more studs, also studs belonging to his rather, portrait in miniature of his father, thc jewelled decorations of the orders or which thc prince is a member, rings in agate, sapphire, Ac, a complete inventory, in tact, seems to have been taken by this audacious quill-driver, and, having finished the drawers, he peered into the closets, and says the prince's "surroundings in wardrobe are equally elaborate, expensive and tasteful," meaning that he wears good clothes. 'Wherever thc prince goes in New York, to drive, to church, or to the theatre, thc mob pursues him, and, ta? king advantage or his absence, the peuny-a-llncrs enter his bedroom and take notes or his personal eifects. In spite or the annoyance, however, he retains his good temper and affability, and seems to be, altogether, "a sweet prince." 'Party Policy. One of our State contemporaries bas ques? tioned, with some asperity,' the right of Tut: NEWS to lay down a platform for the Demo? cratic party in South Carolina-claiming that this privilege belongs tu those who have borne "the burden and heat of the clay." In reply to this we can only say that we do not claim lo be the accredited agent, or the imper? sonation, of thc Democratic port j', or any other partj\ Wo see very clearly-who docs not? that the policy of those who have underta? ken the leadership of the Democratic party has not been successful. Wc are sure that a just and wiso conformity to the circum? stances that now surround us is essential to tho redemption of thc State from misrule and bankruptcy. And wc have reason to know that the dissentients to thc broad und liberal Anti-Radical policy sketched of late in our columns, will And themselves in a pitiable minority when tho suffrages of thc people have boon actually given. There can be no question that thc consti? tutional amendments will stand. And wc can accomplish nothing, but renewed de? feat, by contending with the inevitable. Nay, there arc high considerations of expediency which require the cheerful acquiescence on our part iu the political enfranchisement of the colored people, and their equality with the whites before the law. They were pre? cipitated into freedom, not by their act, nor by ours. Tho guarantees of the con? stitution, as to their status in this country, were, indeed, violated in their case; but neither by them nor by us. And now, the { deed beinjr done and being irrevocable, it is \ better for all the parties concerned that t these people should neither be like the law- 3 less Lazzaroni of Kaples, or the law-op- I pressed Gypsies of England, or even like the c free negroes before the war, whose position a was so anomalous, and, in many cases, so 1 degraded. The right of the colored man to vote has been conceded by the government. It must be sustained by any party which aspires to ?. control our public affairs. And this right ? being put beyond peradventure, we believe j, that he will incline to vote with those whom j he has known from his childhood, and whom, j. not withstanding all the arts of demagogues, ^ he still respects and desires to please, lie _ kuows the difference between the carpet- ^ bagger or scalawag and men of probity and _ worth; and, other things being equal, pre- v Tere the latter ten to one. He knows that ^ all the Radical scandal about Southern in- ^ humanity and barbarism is false; and would be proud, if an opportunity were afforded, to enter into political alliance with thc honor ami gentility of the republic-with meu whose names he cherishes, whose manners lie strives to imitate, whoso family traditions r he loves to recall. He would vote for these ^ men to-day, if he were sure that, in so doing, 1 his enfranchisement, would not be eudan- c gercd. These facts indicate clearly enough to r our mind what direction the new departure r of what has beeu hitherto the Democratic party should take. We must not ask from the colored man a sacrilice which wc would J refuse to make were we in his place. His . political equality must bc guaranteed by the 1 white people of thc State. Another consideration of great importance 1 is, that such an assurance from us will not 1 only conciliate the colored vote, but will 1 contribute to the peace of the State-a con- 1 dition essential to our prosperity. Radical? ism lives upon disorder, as the petrel upon \ stormy waters. But the State suffers while ? unprincipled adventurers keep all classes in | a ferment. These gentlemen, unlike the sea ; bird, create the tumult on which they sub- , Bist And the immigrant declines to risk his ] family and his means by adventuring into a scene of social disorder; he prefers to erect his habitation upon a rcgiuu more stable than that of the volcano and the earthquake. Thu3 we lose in every way while the present i condition of things continues. "Wc need peace-a blessing that cannot be enjoyed un- 1 til the white and colored people of the State come to a mutual understanding. Let it be secured-this harmonious co-operation of tho two races-and be. maintained for a . few years, and till the annoyances we now experience will disappear. ! Tho relative position of the two races is changing every Clay. The idle and dissolute ? negroes, who were once held in check by their 1 masters, arc squandering away their lives. ! The ignorant are trilling with them-more's the pity ! Thc deaths of thc colored popu? lation in comparison willi that of the whites ; are as two to one, and there is no immigra- 1 tion to supply this waste. On the contrary, 1 tho negroes are drifting in increasing num? bers from our State to Mississippi und Ar? kansas. Hut as to the whites, they are in- j creasing relatively. Their numbers arc re inforced by immigration, which is setting in j upon us from Europe in a stoutly stream. Of the million of annual immigrants to the ' United States, we shall henceforth claim our ; part. Thus an the one hand there is dcplc- < tion-on the other increase. And thc situ? ation and the prospect forbid us to be unjust to thc negro on the one hand, or to dread ;he effect of his full and acknowledged ^mancipation on the other. We are, of course, not speaking ot or hint? ing at social equality. This is a matter quite jutside of the sphere of law and politica? ls even the most shiftless politicians in Co? lumbia will one day find out. Nor do we be ieve that the majority of the colored people jven desire it. They hold quite; as strongly is we do thc instincts of blood, and lind a freer enjoyment iu the society of each other than in clinging to thc broadcloth of Moses, jr in promenading the checker-board parlors jf Scott. What lucy need is a guarantee of political equality in the State-and the Anti Radical party of the State will say: Let them have iL Thc Lcgal-Tenuer Act. Rumor is again busy with the supposed purpose of the Supreme Court to limit the application of the Lcgal-Teuder act to con? tracts made after its passage. It is ex? tremely doubtful whether taere is any good foundation for the belief that the court will make its decision at once, but lhere is cer? tainly a strong probability that its members, and the legal profession generally, will ulti? mately come to the conclusion, so plainly equitable, that no act of Congress or of any other power can change the nature of a debt already in existence. A New York paper argues that, should thc court decide that the Legal-Tender act could not apply to contracts made before its pas? sage, the principle righls affected hythe dis? cussion will be: 1. Those which consist of old bonds, se? cured by mortgages of real estate, made prior to 18C2. 2. The bonds of States, counties, cities, railways and other corporations, bearing date beforo February, 18G2. 3. Policies of life insurance, issued before that time; unless payment of these in gold bs considered as waived by the demand ana payment of premiums in currency since the passage of the Legal-Tender act. A few railway stocks will be effected in value, by making the mortgage bonds ou the property equal to gold; but in other re? spects very few vested rights will be im? paired. M. R. H. in Church. Wc read that at the recent Episcopal ser? vice in Washington, which was honored with the presence of Prince Arthur, the minister announced the seventieth selec? tion of Psalms, part second, omitting the second verse, which was sung by the choir. The omission of the second verse caused considerable comment among the congrega? tion, which arrived at thc conclusion that he rector did it in deference to the royal ivorshipper. The words of thc omitted rersc are as follows : On thc Hon vainly roaring, On his young, thy foot shall tread; And, the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise thc serpent's head. Those who appreciate so delicate a rc rard for the feelings of adolescent royalty as vas evinced by this timely omission of the illusion to the treading on the lion and bis oungnnd exploring the dragon's den, will ic delighted to hear that when, at the con? fusion of the service, the plate was passed iround, the Princely contribution was an Eug ish guinea ! Thc Wadmalaw Bridge. The conduct of the county commissioners ri regard to building a bridge across Chnrch /'reek, between Wadmalaw and John's Is inds, demands explanation or iuvestigation. n October last a tax of two thousand dol? ors was assessed and collected to pay for luilding the bridge, but, up to this time, the rork is not begun. This neglect causes >oth inconvenience and danger, as the only ray of crossing the creek, except- nt low ?ater, is in a small boat The money lias sen paid to the county officers, and thc 'ridge should be put up without morcado. Thc South Carolina Institute. At a meeting of thc directors of the South karolina Institute, held ou Thursday, it was csolved that it Fair should be held in Charleston, in November next. A meeting if thc members of the Institute will be hold in Wednesday to make the preliminary :ir angements. This is, indeed, a step ir. the ight directiou. WE print to-day an interesting sketch of m important case now before the Supreme Court of the State. The question involved s whether a tenant on a lea3c is liable for he rent of the premises so leased while un? ible, by reason of official orders, to occupy hem as inteuded, or while excluded from heir possession by the enemy in time o' var. _ WE publish, in supplement form, to-day, ;he premium list of the State Agricultural ind Mechanical Society, of which mentiou las already been made in these columns.

We would Invite the attention of Planters to Hie consideration of some of the advantages In the cultivation of SORGO as a Crop, which are, thc small amount of labor; the hardy character of thc 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 ract that the Seed and every part of the plant ls of great value. In consequence o* the Imperrcct method hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice or this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belier that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very Inferior Syrup. But, by the 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, ls pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make lt without doubt, tho most profitable crop that can bc plant? ed. Of i hese rads abundant evidence can be shown. Anv Information on this subject can bc obtain? ed by applying to Slr. F. G. CA GT, Charleston, S.
