The Marseillaise reappeared on Fri- 1 day, and was eagerly bought on the streets. -In the United States House of Representatives, | on Thursday, dnring the discussion about mileage ; and pay of members, there was a lively time. Dawes gave Butler a lunge for desiring to dis? pense witta the capitol police last year and sub- ' atitute therefor the standing army. Cox, of New I York, rushed in and ironically defended Butler, for which hegot a wipe from Butler that complete- , ly floored thc New York member, but he recover? ed, got out of temper, and pegged away fiercely 1 in earnest at Butler, calling him naughty names 1 and asserting that the Massachusetts member ' was a bad man. and was ostracised socially and , otherwise. Butler brought thc House down in a tremendous roar of laughter when he rose and quietly remarked that he would not attempt it. 1 answer the diminutive member from New York. > He would rerer him to the boys on the streets, and 1 the organ-grinders who were singing and playing , "Shoo ?y, don't bidder me." This was accom- . .panted by a comical manner and a sweep of the ?rm that proved to be too much for the risibles 1 of thc auditors. Cox said Butler had a tough ' skin, and could not be impressed with any at- ' tack upon his character. Here the Speaker in- < tervened, and the amusements ended. -A bill is reported in thc United States Senate talncrease the number of judges or the United States Supreme Court to eleven, with the same ' number of circuit juds<^l The Judiciary Com- ( millee reported, with amendments, the bill to 1 .C'lang'- ?he judicial circuit as follows: Tho first . circuit to consist of the districts of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode 1 Island, and Connecticut; the second of thc dis- . trict or New York; Hurd, Pennsylvania. New I Jersey, Delaware. Maryland ami Virginia; fourth, j Ml.--:- i;i|>i, Lonisana, Texas and Arkansas; fifth, . North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. Florida, Alah una ami Tennessee: sixth, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky ami West Virginia; seventh, Illinois, ; Ind^La and Wis:oa-!u; eighth, Minnesota, Iowa, t Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri: ninth, Califor? nia, Oregon and Nevada. Thc bill further pro? vides that the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States shall be residents of their re? spective circuits, and vacancies now or hereafter existing in said court shall in every case be filled by a resident of the circuit. -A Washington letter to the Baltimore Gazette says: "It looks very much ;?s though there might yet brew a squall between the President and Con? gress as to thc policy of the administration In re? gard to appointments. General Grant is reported to have given out some time ago that he would place no tuan on a judge's bench who ever served as a judge under thc old slave code, or believed in lt, or practiced law under it. This accounts for the persistence with which the nomination of .iloar was pushed for a Southern vacancy In the Supremo Court, and the carrying on of the war, on the same line, in the nominating a New Jersey man for the same place. One fact is developed iu this couneciion that may yet create a schism in the Radical household, notwithstanding the giv ings out that there never was so harmonious a family since tho formation of thc government, and thal is, that the Southern and Western sena? tors are persistent in their determination to op? pose any nomination of an Eastern judge for this place. This is the reason Uoar was rejected. There was no particular objection to him person? ally, but the senators referred to didn't want the South utterly ignored in the formation of the Su? preme Bench, and ii Dame Rumor says true, this ls the reason why Bradley may share the same fate." _ No Struggling: / Our contemporary, the Columba Guar? dian, tilters some very sensible and manly words in deprecation of the folly and danger of any jealousies or divisions-of which there have lately been some unpleasant symptoms among the Anti-Radical press of South Car? olina. We have all the same end in view, and we cannot afford to quarrel about the means. Wo shall have need of all our strength to crush thc common foe. We must strike and win together, if we would win ut all. Who would not sink, for the moment, all minor differences, for the sake of wresting South Carolina from the grasp of the wretch? es who delile with hideous revelry the capi? tal of the State? Upon public men and public journals there now rests a grave and solemn re? sponsibility. They can render good service, in making the defeat of dishonesty and cor? ruption decisive and complete. Or, they may heighten our dangers and aggravate our peril by factious opposition and untimely dissension. But none of them, nor all of them, can roll back the popular tide, or alter, in the least, the lixed determination of the people. A change of rulers is demanded-a. chance from nepotism, ignorance and vice, to parity, intelligence and virtue. This is the supreme necessity, and that they may attain this end tho people bow lo the in? exorable logic of accomplished facts. They submit to thc inevitable, and accept the log? ical consequences of their forced submission. And if the press which has enjoyed their confidence, or the public serrant whom they have honored, refuse to stand iu the van and bear the brunt of the fight, the people will brush journal or politician aside, and adopt or create men and journals who truly repre? sent them, and who arc ready to share with them the hazards and uncertainties of a des? perate if not mortal struggle. Nor ambition, nor pique, nor blindness to Hie bitter exigencies of Hie times, must stand in the way of the public good. The wishes and the desires of the individual are as noth? ing in comparison with the weal of the State. We must bear and forbear, and each must do his part. This paper has decided opinions of its own, as everybody knows, but those opin? ions will be modified or waived whenever it it shall be shown that we can thereby in? crease, in the least, the chances of victory. Only, let our cause be tainted by no compro? mise with the handful of thieves and rob? bers who now rule over us, nor by any hypo? critical assumption of the party name under which they have masked their villany! Keep as clear o? the crew who are infamous, per? sonally and politically-propose no entan- ! ?jling alliance with the representatives of fraud, violence and wrong, and it matters little to us ander what Hag we fight. The election of Colonel Samuel W. Melton :o the Circuit Judgeship made vacant by the lentil of Judge Boozer, will give general sat sfaction, not less on account of thc learning tnd ability of the Judge elect, than because he action of tho Legislature indicates a wil? lingness to bridge over, for a moment at least, the deep chasm which ,ias divided the loutit Carolina Confederate soldier from the South Carolina Radical j)olitician. Colonel Melton is, in many t.ortant par? ticulars, a fair representative of the mass of the people of the State. A soldier in the Confederate service from the first to thc last, from Manassas to Appomattox, he has, since ihe war. hail little to do with political affairs. His influence was thrown against Radicalism ivith steady and persistent force, and he i<? low, if we understand him correctly, as far rom desiring any part or fellowship with the Republican party as when he wore the gray lttiforni of the South. In the past is neither tharne nor reproach; but living in the pres? ent, and looking to the future, Colonel Mel? on acknowledges all that the laws of the and require him to acknowledge, and ac- ' :ords to white and black alike all the rights : conferred upon them by the State and Fede? ral Constitution. Accepting the situatiou j "rankly and in good faith, he is ready to i ivork manfully for the purillcatiou aud re- ; lemption of the State. That such a man should have been elected 0 ollice is a cheering sign of the cotniug of jetter days. The sccues which attended Ihe j .lection were scandalous in the extreme. : Voles were bought and sold by the members >f thc General Assembly, under the very rose of the presiding ollicer. Pistols were " Irawn, ami the bullies of thc House howled ; br blood and thunder. But we are inclined ; to look over all this when we remember that 1 South Carolinian of untarnished fame, who lid not smirch himself that he might be ex ilted to place and profit, has been elected to . h. circuit beuch. < The Judicial Election. Is it Repudiation? We are informed that the City Treasurer is deducting from the quarterly interest on city stock, now in process of payment, an amount equal to one per cent, per annum on the par value of the stock. This is pre? sumed to be a tax levied by the city upon the stock, although thc public have no knowledge of the passage of any ordinance authorizing tho imposition of such a tax. The ordinance to regulate the assessment of personal property, adopted last week, clear? ly contemplated a taxation of the city stocks held by residents ; but it was generally un? derstood that the rate of taxation would not be determined until the gross taxable value of all the real and personal property In the city had been definitely ascertained. The assessment of property is not completed, no tax bill has been introduced or considered in the public meetings of Council, and the pub? lic desire to know by what authority the City Treasurer is now levying a tax upon the quarterly interest legally clue, without deduction, to the holders of city stock. When this first point is made clear, we may properly consider the legality, as well as the public equity, of imposing a city tax upon the city debt. THE Augusta Chronicle, and Sentinel speaks in highly complimentary terms of the great work accomplished by the present directors of Hie South Carolina Railroad, and is hopeful thal "the shareholders -.viii begin to realize "tho benefits of good dividends, solong neces? sarily withheld to complete the repairs of thc "road.*' With regard to the movement towards thc water, our Augusla con mporary says : "We arc glad to find the president and di? rectors fully alive to thc importance of water connections nt Charleston. As soon as ar? rangements arc made there to take treight down to the wharf, without the expense and loss incident to a long draynge, we are confi? dent that the income of the road will be mate? rially increased. All obstructions to, and re? strictions upon, the quick, cheap and safe transit of goods must now be abandoned. The wants of trade and commerce require that these old relics of local prejudices shall be re? moved, and tlie currents of business allowed to How in the most direct and easy channels." WHIPPER, in his speech nominating Colonel Melton for Circuit Judge, said that a man should bc Judged by his merits and not by his politics. This is sound doctrine : but if it were agreed to by the Radical parly, very few of their present Officers would remain long In ollice. WHEN will a committee Ucuppointed to in? quire into the charges of bribery and corrup? tion, made against certain members of the General Assembly in connection with their vote for Circuit Judge on Friday ? ? I O 'I ? SOME of the Charleston colored men think that living must be very cheap in Columbia, as their representatives in thc House eau keep double teams and swim in champagne on six dollars a day for the session.
