SUPREME COURT. The attention of counsel ls called to the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States will hereafter.strictly enforce the rules In regard to the filing of business, and will not permit, under any circumstances, the Hiing of a brief after a case ls called for argument. SESSION OF COKGRESS. The indications of a protracted session of Con? gress increase. The Appropri?t! >n Committee of the House do not think thev will get ad their bills through before the middle of/May, and it will probably take thc Senate and House one or two months after that date to settle ttie difference between them and these measures. There have been introduced In the House and Senate so rar in this Congress nearly three thousand bills and joint resolutions, a fact without precedent in the history of the government. * A PETITION FROM MASQUERADERS. A petition has been received at theTrensurv Department from Mobile, stating that tuere has been la existence in that city for forty years, an institution chartered by the Legislature of the State, kuown as the "Cowbelllons De Bakin Soc! ety," a secret organization devoted to the enter tainment of the citizens on the eve ol New Year's Day, and also partly charitable in Its organization They are anxious to import from Paris, for their own pleasure, a number or masquerade suits for their next entertainment, to cost from S'-'?UO to S3000, and request tue Secretary or thc Treasury to allow this importation duty free, inasmuch a's the articles are not for purposes of profit or bar ter. The petition ls signed by a number of prom lnent citizens of Mobile. Secretary Boutwell has responded that he knows of no law authorizing him to comply with such a request, and there? fore cannot instruct the collector of the port in accordance therewith. THB PI EG IN MASSACRE. General Sherman has written a letter acknowl? edging the receipt of one from General Sheridan, wherein the latter defends his conduct on the lu? d?an question. General Sherman replies that he endorses Sheridan's letter, aud says he prefei s to believe Colouel Baker relative to the details of the attack on the Piegans, rather than stories trump? ed up at Benton, ene hundred miles from the scene of the Gght. He believes Baker when the latter says a majority of the PIcgans who were killed were warriors; that thc tiring OR them ceased when the resistance ceased; that quarter was given to all who asked for it, and that one hundred women and children were allowed to go free and Join other portions or the tribe. Ile be? lieves this, he sajs, rather than the absurd re port that only thirteen warriors were killed, the rest being women and children afflicted with smallpox. Nor will he believe that Colonel Baker wautonly killed any or them. General Sherman alludes to the tide of immigration encroaching on the Indian reservations, and tells General Sheri? dan that the army has a divided duty, lt must, when called on, protect the white settlers, and lt must also protect the Indian lands. The letter is brief, aud is not Intended for the public, but the above covers the points of lt. CONGRESS AND POLYGAMY. *The bill to punish polygamy in Utah, which passed tho House on Wednesday, provides that the marshal of the Territory shall select thc grand and petit jurors, which will enable him to take them from the anti-Mormon or gentile population -though the right of challenge ls reserved to the accused.

Trial of Prince Bonaparte. PARIS, March 27. The Procureur General made his argument in the High Court yesterday. He opened with an energetic denunciation of the party to which Noir belonged, and made frequent references to Rochefort's newspaper, the Mar sellaise. Nearly all of the evidence of the prosecution was set aside by the Procureur, who demands the con? demnation of the Prince, because the shooting was not done in self-defence The Prince was much excited, during the delivery of this argument. Heroux and De Mage, counsel for the defence, both de? nounced the Marsellaise. The court will meet again at noon to-morrow, when a verdict is expected. The Prince Acquitted. TOCKS, March 27.

The action of the socie- ? ty is pron pied by rep ated statements in North? ern papers and elsewhere, that Hie society refus- j ed to raise the Culled Matts flag over the" labora- ? tory building during the late fair al Macon. The Covington L'xaraiscr, of Fri lay, reports a : Ore at Oxford that morning, which destroyed a ( two-story tenement, jointly occupied by Mrs. , White ami Dr. William Anderson's family," nearly , opposite the Palmer Institute. Some or the fur- , muire was saved In a damaged condition. Fire | was also communicated by flying sparks to a , barn of David Dickson, which was also cjnsnm- i ed. together with a lo: of cottou seed and guano. The Rome Courier relates the following, which j if says will bc vouched for by at least three hun- j dred citizens of that place : "The most remarkable death we have ever wit- , nessed came under our notice on Saturdar. A nesro was working beneath a bank of dirt, tlie dirt broke oil, fell on him and crushed him. His heart was shot out from his body and thrown to a distante of sixty-two feet (by measure) from him. His lungs and liver were scattered between him and his heart, and his body was completely ! crushed by the dirt. When thc dirt was thrown off, it was f >und that he was broken all to pieces. His chest and his stomach were rifted, and his legs were shapeless masses. We warrant no such death has ever been recorded, li a bombshell had exploded between his ribs, his heart and en? trails could not have been thrown further." DEATH OE AN ENTERPRISING WORKINGMAN. We have already announced the decease of W. w. Cornell, a member of the firm of J. B. & W. W. Cornell, of New York, who were widely known throughout the United Stales by thc numerous iron fire-proof buildings they had erected. The deceased was the architect ol' his own fortune. Commencing life in humble circumstances, he served a regular appren? ticeship of seven years to the trade of an : iron founder. In 1847 he and his brother commenced business and established an iron foundry, in which, owing to the small enpi- ' tal ot the partners, onlv one mau in addition 1 to themselves was employed. In ten years' time the business had "increased so rap- ! idly that removal to another locality became necessary, and on this spot their present well equipped and extensive foundry was erected. The fineness ol the castings turned out by this establishment, and Hie skill displayed in the : erection of iron buildings, conferred upon these industrious mechanics a reputation that ' is appreciated in every large city of the Union. Some of the most magnificent buildings in architectural design in New York. Savannah and other cities, were constructed by the Cor? nells. The successful life of W. W. Cornell proves that a mechanic who thoroughly learns bis trade and attends carefully to his business, can acquire as great i? reputation and as large an estate as those whom the world call fortu? nato in starting in life with ail the aids of wealth aud position. I THE CITIZENS' CAUSE. VIEWS OF THE INDEPENDENT JO VB NA. X S. A RALLY OF THE TRESS AND PEOPLE. A Hearty Approval. [From the Edgeficld Advertiser.] Thc principles enunciated in the resolutions are liberal, progressive, and comprehensive; siffl ciently so, we think, to meet thc approval and se? cure the support of all classes or citizens. The Edgetlcld Advertiser endorses them with un? feigned good will. In fact, EdgcBeld has already acted practically upon these seir-same principles. In her late municipal election, both parties. Dem? ocratic and Republican, met in friendly confer? ence, and agreed upon one and the same ticket. \\'e thought, and still think, that, under existing laws and circumstances, this was a wisc pro? ceeding. The present Intendant of Edgelleld is a white Republican. Two of the wardens arc wbttc and Democratic; thc remaluiag two are colored and Republican. The resolutions of the press conference assure the colored vot?is that their rights are In no jeopardy, and that their common and trne Inter? ests will be promoted aull secured by a union with the honest of our people against the corrupt and thc ignorant. This is wise and sincere, and we earnestly hope thc colored voters will realize it as such. And now let us go to work to light lu the com? ing campaign, not as Democrats against Repub? licans for the triumph of party, but together, with one accord, to get capable and honest men into office. As regards the proposed convention, wc think lt of th? highest Importance that a State conven? tion, representiug all the elements of oppo-ltlon to the present corrupt Radical administration, should be held in time to organize and prepare for the summer and fall campaign. As to the time of holding the convention, we think it would perhaps bo better to defer actlou uutil after the assembling of the Radical convention. In this matter, however, we cheerfully deier to the voice of thc majority. And when our convention is authoritatively call? ed, let it be called by the united voice of all South Carolinians who are opposed to the party now in power in our State, whether they term-themselves Lib?rala Conservatives, Democrats, Republicans, or Citizens. Let us go Into the next fight to win; not to dis? cuss by-gone issues, empty platitudes or meaning? less generalities. TU? Great Desire af Our People. [From the Yorkvllle Enquirer.] So far as the matter or the resolutions is con? cerned, we see nothing objectionable in them. They make intelligence and integrity the only teits of political preference. By eschewing all complication with national questions, the cam? paign is narrowed down to a thoroughly local contest. This ls probably thc best basis which the convention, when it meets, can select, on which to rally the people of South Carolina. The great desire or our people, wc believe, ls not to build up any party. Democratic, Conservative or Republican. Nor are they Immediately concerued about female or Indian "suffrage, annexation of foreign territory, the Alabama claims, or the national debt. What they want is a good, economical and honest Stive government-one that will be Just to all classes of citizens, and will not squander the resources of the State for private and parry purposes. They want officials who believe that "they were elected to promote the general interests of "the people, and not to enrich themselves. This is our platform, and lt is on these grounds that we oppose the Republican party of South Carolina, as represented by those whom lt has put Into office. There ls one suggestion lu the resolutions which does not Impress ns favorably. The time pro? posed for the convention ls too soon. The people have crops to make as well as an election to hold, and experience proves that a long and heated po? litical campaign seriously interferes with farm work. Unless there nre reasons of which we arc not aware for holding lt sooner, we think that thc thin) of August would bea more suitable time for holding the convention. By that lime the crops will have been laid by, and there will still remain eleven weeks for thc campaign. All Agreed. [From the Camden Journal.! Wc agree with the sentiments expressed in thc Tress resolutions, and feel sure that all citizens desiring good government and honesty, as well I nsjusilcein the administration of it. will cordi? ally concur with us In saying that the logic of facts demand the Acknowledgment or the rights bf all citizens to vote and hold office as therein In? dicated. Thc Citizens' Party. {From thc Darlington Southerner.] TUB CHARLESTON NEWS lays down a broad plat? form; ju?t sucn as we laid down long ago, and for which wc were dubbed "Radical." We were not scared from our puruosc by a name, for wc be? lieved that names were nothing, acts were every? thing. Wc called eurselves Conservative, know? ing that wc were snch. We advised obedience to the laws, whether agreeable or not; strict justice to the colored mau, and a tmrial of the corpse of thc past. We saw no objection to our people fill lug oakes under the present State government, or deemed them any less worthy of respect when dolug so. We never Ulled our sheet with personal abuse of Democrat or Radical, and always gave praise where lt was deserved. We never called a man a vile devil because he was a Republican, or a lovelv angel because he was a Democrat. We never expected the Democratic party to save the State, and we have not been at all disappointed. The change which has come over the views of mir state journals, has lcd ns Into thus reviewing uur own cours?. Since the ending of the war we Have advocated but one thing, do that which ?teems the best for our State, even If lu doing lt we arc compelled ro sacrifice pride and prejudice. Ou the subject of a name, what we would say to the party is this: Never mind the name, only et there be nnlly of purpose: let the Democrat ind the Republican, the white mau and the dacfc, join heartily to lay anew the foundations or Ma goo l old State: and let the blocks they bring ?ear thc inscription, worth aud truth, honor anti Honesty. ^ Devil Take tlie Hindmost. [From thc Columbia Thonlx.j Ia tho present state ol atf.iir. in South Carolina, we have observed a disposition on the part of -om ? men to adopt what may be Malled the pol? icy or MIuceoui prut, which, literally rendered, means "the devil take Hie hindmost,'' or "every man for himself." Such a cry ls theory ol de? spair, lt implies the bitter consciousness of de? feat-it redec?s the anguish of failure-it m-ans that the day is lost. We need hardly say that a policy, based upon a feeling like ttils,"is not melloney upon which to base a political effort. If South Carolina is to be restored to good and hon? est government, and to be left free lo develop her resources ami lo welcome Immigration, we must "lop: a policy not uullku the policy which has il vars been adopted uudcrsiinilareirciiinstances. VI who oppose the present regime in South Caro? nia must rtultc together-must organize-must ?ink minor dlifereuccs-must work earnestly and energetically-must feel the Inspiration of a good sause-must take counsel of their hopes, and not of their fears-must raise their standards-must, throw traitorous doubts to thc winds-and with | Dnc mind, move steadily to the attainment of their purpose. There is no myal ro.nl to success. Let thc cry of the defeated soldiers of France give place to the firm and decisive utterance or Wel? lington, thc victor or Waterloo, as he shouted: "Up Guards and at them !" aud turned thc wav? ering tide of battle. What we Need. [From thc Greenville Mountaineer.] We certainly need a good and honest govern? ment, and we" are willing to advocate any mea sures which promise to give us one. If thc con volition will promote this end, Ictus, by all means, have the convention. And Itt all the people, irre? spective of party, who can forget self-interest in their love for the State, be represented. Thc Opening Shot. [From the Laurensville Herald.] This actiou or thc press may be regarded as thc opening shot of the campaign, aud we are not prepared to say that it js iil-directed. We are glad that the conference was held; had intended to be present, but were prevented by stress of business engagements. The lime sug? gested for a convention or the people is well chosen, and will be accepted generally. Giving up Dead Issues. [From the Walhalla Courier.] The Tress resolutions exhibit thc purpose or the State press to give up the dead issues which have trammelled the Democratic party, and to labor for thc future improvement of the Slate government. This ls true wisdom, and ir the press as a unit will advocate the course proposed, a few years will wipe out thc passions and prejudices of the past, and the colored man. identified with U3 hy inter? est and association, will unite with the wliite citi? zens or the country to restore order and harmo? ny. Their Interest is with us. Though but few own property or pay tnxes, yet thc industrious and ccouomlcal expect to. and will accumulate and become taxpayers. They will soon perceive that high taxes operate against their interest, by Compelling landowners to claim higher rent or to pay lower wages. Let every one treat the colored man a? a citizen, and endea? vor to instruct him in his true Interests. The errors of the last campaign are now ap? parent to all, and every citizen should set to work to repair them. This cart be easliv done. It only requires strict, fair dealing confidence in the political and civil rights of the negro, to restore perfect confidence between the races. Let every one work to this end. lt is a matter or vital im? portance that our next Legislature should be composed or honest, capable men who will re? store something like economy lu the government. The taxes for the present year have been some? what reduced, but we trnst no one is so blind as not to perceive that this ls au electioneering scheme on thc part of the Radicals. It ls not b?? casse the expenses of the government are less, nor becanse thc amount levied is sufficient to meet them. The future will prove this. In truth, our expenses are greater than Tor last year. The School bill will add $100.000 to them, and then the pay of physicians for the indigent sljjk, phono? graphers for the courts, and numerous other offices not existing heretofore, must swell the amount. Another View. [From the Anderson Intelligencer.] The Conference or the anti-Radical press of this State was held, as agreed upon, in Columbia, on Wednesday, 10th Inst. From all we can gather, there was unanimity and accord among the gen? tlemen present, aud their action goes rorth to the people with united endorsement. As we were un? able to he present, and do not know the control? ling reason upon which was based the action of the Conference, we deem lt improper to criticise its recommendations. We may be permitted to state, however, that our views do not concur in the policy suggested to the people of holding a State Convention as early as the 15th June "for the pur? pose or nominating a State ticket." The time sug? gested lstoo soon, lu our Judgment, and lt may be that the end In view-organizing a ticket for State officers-could wisely be dispensed with. Under other circumstances, this feature of the po? litical situation would be discussed at length; but courtesy to our brethren, nnd lack or Information as to the reasons by which they were controlled, demand an exercise of restraint upon our thoughts. As to the declarations made by the conference giving full recognition to the legul right of ali citizens of the State to suffrage and office, this Journal lias been fully committed for the past eighteen months. The election of Grant settled the question or suffrage, ia this State, at least, and wc have not been disposed to revive ?told Issues* at anytime. On these points, theu. the action of the conference receives our Ucarty and unqualified approval. The Practical Question. [From the Union Times.] From the mountains to the seaboard the anti Rad'cal press ls a ucit, and presents one bold, unbrokeu, defiant front to the corruption, venal? ity and misrule which now govern this State, and which is fast driving the honest and intelli? gent from the ranks of the Radical party. We most cordially endorse the resolutions of thc Pre-s Conference, and ander those resolutions we shall fight the coming battle for the redemp? tion or the State. Wo have no sympathy with any man or party who wonld deal dishonestly with any class ror the purposes of securing their votes or Influence. We fought boldly against the reconstruction acts, because we believed those acts would bring about just such a cor? rupt, extravagant and malicious exercise of power as now exists, and we are not ashamed or the fight. We were defeated, and the result of that defeat ls before the people-in our opinion fully sustaining us la oar efforts to prevent lt. That is passed-those issues are dead, and we have no more to do with them. We have now to deal with live Issues-issues that will af. feet the future-and it behooves us to look the matter squarely, practically and honestly in tue race, and so trim our salis as to steer the ship or State clear or the mrclsiorm into which her pirati? cal officers are determined to carry her. The negro is Invested with all political rights to vote and hold office. That ls non' engrafted upon the fundamental law of the land, and wc believe it will never be removed. Reis an integral part or our body politic, ills vote emms equal with ours at tho ballot box. His vote, obtained by fraud, threats. Iles and bribery, has therefore been con? cern rated to foist the present corrupt State offi? cials upon thc people. What, then, ls our duty? Is lt Hie parlor wisdom, by persisting In lighting dead issues, to drive him from us? Certatnly not. We honestly acknowledge the rights guaran teed to him under the law. therefore wc acknowl edge him our equal at the ballot box, and entitled to all the rights which flow rroin thc elective franchise: consequently ir ls our duty to defend him in those rights, encourage him to exercise them, and restore the natural attachment which has been maliciously torn asunder by the ene? mies or our commou scc.iou, und thc greater enemies or thc negro. Yes, the colored .man ls entitled to vote and hold office, and he trill exercise (hose rights. Now, the practical question is. shall we riojt/a-edly persist in allowina- the "carpet-bagger" and ".scalawag" to monopolize thc colored vote, to perpetuate the In? famous rule which ls now ruining and dlsgrnclng the State and the Southern people or both races, or shall we Invite and encourage the colored men to "come over and help us" hurl from the throne nt venal power those who have deceived them, ruined us all, and will. If permitted to control public uria I rs much longer, swallow up every po? litical posit lui and make honesty a disgrace, and virtue a by-word? rtie Broad Ground. [From thc Lancaster Ledger. It will be seen that the editorial conference un? dertake neither to make a platform nor to unmake one. The resolutions express thc sense of the conference. It is believed that thev will meet with the approval of all anti-Riidica'lists In thc State, including Democrats and Republicans, whites and blacks. From their first word to their lust, they take the broad ground that the coming contest has no connection with national politics or national political parties, but is one In which all citizens shall work and toll together to secure a capable, honest and respectable government for them and for their children. No distinction Is made of class, or color, or or past political action. The equal rightB or all citizens are freely admit? ted, ami when the proper time comes, it will bo seen that this ls no barren pledge, but means that every class and every color shall have Its fair ami houest representation In the administration of the a Ja irs or the State. A New Bill of Rights. [From the Abbeville Press.] These resolutions recognize in their fullest ex? tent the civil and political eqtialUy of thc black man-his right to vote and his right'to hold office -his rlirht not only to "equal and exact justice,' but tn oiiice and emolument-recognize all or this, not as a mere abstract truth, but as a controlling principle in the coming elections. These resolu? tion" give prominence to that policy which lu thc present crisis rises above party principles nnd na? tional Issues-the prime necessity or securing good government at home-or elevating honest arid capable men to office-and this by Hie suf rrage or "all the citizens of the State, irrespective of color or previous condition." Here ls a plat? form broad enough for us all to stand upon. As a matter of course, thc action or the confer? ence ls only advisory. Willi a view to some de? terminate and authoritative action, they suggest a meeting of a convention or tlui people Wednesday, the 15th June next. We had thought that a later dav would have been more advisable, but we suppose that satisfactory reasons deter? mined the selection. Mut whatever difference of opinion there might be as to the time or meeting, we had thought there would bc none as to the im? portance or the meeting itseir ir we are to gain anything at all. it is by union-by concerted pur? poses ami united efforts. As a flrst and necessary step to tins, wc must have a convention. The Conference have suggested the lilli June next, and we suppose the people ot the State will ratify and continu. BACKING DOWN. [From thc New York Tribune, March 21.] A Washington correspondent tells us this morning somelliing further about thc sales of | cadetships. and shows that Congress has by no means gol to thc end ol' thc infamous story. Rut wc fear that Congress has got to thc end of its virtue, and thc culprits who may here? after be convicted have iittlc to dread. Even Hie flagrant case of Mr. Whitteinorc was not followed by thc punishment it merited. He was permitted to resign, when ho ought lo hare been expelled willi ecery mark of indig? nity thc House hud power to inflict, and after that most lame and Impotent conclusi?n to a serious Inquiry, the demoralization ol' the House went on rapidly. Mr. Butler lias been allowed to escape with a reprimand, and Hie small offenders, whose cases arc yet to come up, will probably get oil'still more easily. In some cases thc publicity given to these shameful transactions will be a severc-penalty for the delinquents to endure; anti If we only wanted to punish the individuals, censure would perhaps be enough. Rut the first ob? ject ol'Congress ought to be the preservation of its own honor, and If it is so careless of that as to allow men who have disgraced it to re? tain their seats, it must not be surprised if the people become more and more suspicious of Its integrity, and corruption in the halls and lobbies becomes more and more daring. Men have little respect for the virtue which will not defend itself. If the House of Representatives values public opinion, it cannot afford to hesi? tate an instant in casting out every man who has abused his official position for private gain. No maller who is hurt; no matter what may? be the personal popularity ol' the political in? fluence ol'the culprits; no matter how great their party services, wc tell our friends in Con? gress that they cannot afford to laker in this stern duly, and the delinquency which they have already shown will yet cost them dear. They have allowed accused persons to tire them out with frivolous defences, to work upon their feelings by personal appeals, lo plead, protract and sophisticate until tiie com? mittee and thc House have both grown weary, and the only wish now seems to be to cover tip thc dirty affair and get it out of sight as soon ns possible. Very well, gentlemen: if you care so little about keeping your house decent, don't ask us to believe your are all clean. I Mamet). WINCEY -BOLCHOZ. -On Sunday, the 20th of Mareil, by the Rev. W. S.

The fluid which it secretes tempers the blood and r?gal?tes the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality of the secretion depends, In a great degree, the adaptation of the blood to the requirements of the system and the due removal of the refuse matter which remains in the intes? tines artur the work of digestion has been accom? plished. One of the principal ases of HJISTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls to tone and control this somewhat unruly organ. The antl-blllous proper? ties of thc preparation arc scarcely secondary to Its virtues as a stomachic. Its operation upon the liver is not violent like that of mercury, but gradual and gentle. Instead of creating a sudden tnmult in that sensitive gland, lt regulates ita action by degrees. Hence, it ls a safe remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremen? dous excitant, is not. The more naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be restored to Its normal condition the better, and lt is the peculiar property of this harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regulate without exciting or con? vulsing. The'success willett has attended its use as a remedy for affections of the liver ls proverbial. Persons of a bilious habit who take it habitually ts a protection against thc attacks to which they ire constitutionally liable, pronounce it the best Iver tonic In existence. The symptoms of an ?pproachlng flt of biliousness can hardly be mis? taken. A pain In the right side or nnder the moulder blades, a saffron tinge In the whites of the eyes, sick headache, a feeling of drowsiness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and general debility are among the usual indications Df a morbid condli lon of the liver, and as soon as they.appear the BITTERS should be resorted to n order to ward on" more serious cons?quences. meti28 6t illacrjinerr), (Eastings, &z. jyjEETING STREET FOUNDRY. rUIS ESTABLISHMENT IS NOW FURNISHING THE IM PROVED MCCARTHY COTTON OIN, STEAM ENGINES AND BOILERS, Of various sizes, on band.
