irr^T TTUff IT_N?TMRER 1259. CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1870. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. WASHINGTON. THE LAST APPEAL. Grant Attempts to Save San Domingo. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE SEWS ] WASHINGTON, March 23. The President was informed to-day by-seve ral senators that an actual count showed that the San Domingo treaty would fail to be rati? fied. In order to give the Senate an opportu? nity to change Its mind, the'President has sent In a special message announcing that the time for the ratification has been extended for thirty days longer. A proposition to recommit the treaty to a committee and send a new commis? sion to the island, will, it is thought, prevail. [FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, March 28. Butler has been notified that the mulatto whom he nominated to West Point ls too young. There is considerable excitement about the seizure of the books of the National Safe De? posit-Company by Butler, to see what bonds newspaper correspondents had there. The ob? ject ls to prove corruption. The President pays tares on $110,000, and General Sherman on $23,000 in this district. LATBR.-Peter J. Ralph has been nominated supervisor of steamboats for the eighth dis? trict. Boutwell has recommended that the treasury buildings this year shall not exceed five, none ol which shall bc in the South. Carl Schurz spoke against the San Domingo treaty to-day. The Tote will probably be taken to-morrow; prospects Tor Its ratification are fa? vorable. Colonel Baker reports to Sheridan that the lacts concerning the war upon thc Piegans was maliciously falsified by persons not cogni? zant of the facts. He says the women and children were killed accidentally. All the offi? cers of the command demand a complete in? vestigation. The official notes and evidence ia the pro? ceedings of the naval court martial as to the col? lision between the Oneida and Bombay, have been received. The court in Its decision says, in regard to Captain Eyre: "We recognize the fact that he was placed in a position of great difficulty and doubt, and in circum? stances under which he.was called upon to decide promptly; but we regret to have tore cord it as our opinion that he acted hastily and ill-advised In (hat, instead of waiting and en? deavoring to render assistance to the Oneida, he, without having reason to believe that his own vessel was in a perilous position, proceeded on his t&yage. This conduct constitutes, in our opinloa, a breach of the 33d section ot 63d chapter of the Merchant Shipping act, and we therefore feel called upon to suspend Mr. Eyre's certificate for six calendar months from this date." The evidence of many of the wit? nesses repeated the thrilling details previously published. Thc Executive Council of the National Board of Trade had an Interview with the President to-day. It consisted of the following gen? tlemen: Farley, of Philadelphia, president; . Hill, of Boston, secretary; and vice-presidents Brown, of Portland, Plummer, of Boston, Taylor, of St. Paul's; Trenholm, of Charleston; and Gano, of Cincinnati. They stated that their i object was to present their views upon thc fol- J lowing subjects: Interior ports of entry, crea- i tion of a department of commerce and civil * service, and the American snipping Interests, t In response, the President, In general terms, r alluded to his own app:xciatlon of the Impor? tant consideration the subjects demanded. > CONGRESSIONAL. In the House, to-day, a bill was introduced t to incorporate the Southern Trans-Continental ?j Railroad. ? In the Senate Drake Inquired the reason 1 why the Judiciary Committee delayed report? ing the Texas bill. Trumbull replied that it l; would be useless to do so while the Georgia C and Ames questions were still undisposed of. cc and there were, besides, provisions in the t Texas Constitution and in the House bill re- d quiring careful consideration. r LATER.-In the Senate to-day, a petition was j prescnte<ffrom South Carolina negroes asking a an appropriation for Wilberforce College, J Ohio. Resolutions from the Iowa Legislature, ex? pressing sympathy for Cuba, were presented. n Revels introduced a bill granting the right le of wdj to the New Orleans and Northeastern [| Railway Company, la r There was a* executive session to consider ?? the San Domingo treaty, but it adjourned with- st Ont cornie ?? a vote' In the House were introduced bills to Im? prove the mouth of Cape Fear River, and to prevent the collection of illegal fees frQui pas? sengers through thc State. The House refused to second the bill taxing Interest on Federal bonds; also, a resolution favoring the reading of the Bible In schools. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. "WASHINGTON, March 28. In the Supreme Court in the of Bicton vs. Forrest, to obtain possesslori 0r land Void under confiscr;t,on ^ the court deci(led tnaf. the act of 1863. provides for the removal to the Federal Co>?rts ol' personal and not real estate cases. Upon the merits of the case the court decide^ that a sale under a confiscation law efft"jts the title only during the life of the ?^wner, upon whose death the title descends as though there had been no confiscation. ];i a case from Kentucky, the court decided t ha: States may tax shares in National Banks as distinct TTO m bank capital, and that a tax levied by a State upon shareholders may bc collected from the banks by the garnisher. Chief Justice Chase dissented. 9 In a case from Louisiana, the court decided that a Legislature may by act alienate thc pro? perty of minors. SCOTT AND WHITTEMORE. SHUFFLING THE CARDS FOR A NEW DEAL. _ An Ing?nions Programme. [FROM OCR OWN ';"RRK3po>iDEXT.] WASHINGTON, March 27. Governor R. K. Scott, who has stood ' upon the picket linc" so long, thinks lt worth while to bother Congressmen, during his presence here, with the Insignificant details of the Radi? cal politics of the First Congressional District of South Carolina-the Intention being to learn if the House will receive back, as a member, one whom it has declared tobe unworthy as the representative of the people. The situa? tion which troubles Scott's mind ls that of "the party," and to serve his friend Whittemore-his God and Mamn >n on the same day-he pro? poses to divide up the election in the first dis? trict. He says if he issues a writ for Whitte more's election now, that the more decent Re? publicans will run a negro, thus spatting the 'party-for ^Whittemore is determine J to run and giving, the Democratic or third candidate the seat. If Scott, however, finds that the Radical members will agree to allow Whitte more to come back next fall, the matter is to be fixed up in this wise: No election will be ordered for this session, but the vacancy will be allowed to run along until next tall, when it is agreed that Whittemore shall be elected for the bal? ance ol' this Congress, and a new man elected tor the 42d Congress. This will satisfy the in? satiate cadet-seller, and preserve intact the party. Probably "your Governor" will deny this impeachment, but he furnished his plan of j campaign to the editor of the administration organ here, who very innocently puts it into print, and thus confirms all I have written. I have not learned that Scott has bought a car? go of Winchester rifles for his voters, which he was so kind to commend to them in his speech herc the other night. But here is the article I alluded to from the Washington Republican of j yesterday: " Governor Scott, of South Caro? lina, hesitates about ordering an election to fill tlie vacancy caused by the resignation of | Representative Whittemore, on account of a strong inclination on thc part of the voters of | the district to run a colored man, while thc friends of Mr. Whittemore insist that he shall be the candidate, in which event a Democrat would be elected. If the election can be post? poned until the regular fall election takes place, it is believed that both parties canoe satisfied by running Mr. Whittemore for thc unexpired term and a colored man for the succeeding term. It :s understood that Mr. Whittemore is not fully satisfied with this ar? rangement, although his opponents in the par? ty say he could not be elected, as the Demo? crats would go for his Republican opponent, and thus insure the election of the latter/' By thc way, speaking of Winchester rifles, lt looks as though the RepubUcan party In Congress was backing up the military theory for the Southern elections next fall. A bill has already passed thc Senate, and is now pending in the'House, providing that the quota of arar due to each of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, Sonth Carolina, Georgia, Ala? bama, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisi? ana and Texas, under the statute of April 28, 1808, shall be allowed to those States in the same manner as if that act had not been modi? fied. The chief of ordnance is, on requisition in the usual form, to deliver to the several States named the arms or their equivalent in ordnance stores from January, 1861, to Janua? ry, 1865. The appropriation of $20,000 for rebuilding the Charleston Catholic Orphan Asylum, which passed thc House last week, is now pending in the Senate Committee, who are disposed to favor it, though Morrill, of Mai QC, thc chairman, ls a rank Puritan and is opposed himself to voting a dollar. The Globe has printed a three column speoch purporting to have been de? livered by C.'C. Bowen, in the House, in sup? port of this appropriation. No such speech was ever delivered. In fact, the bill was put through under tho previous question, without a word of discussion. ZUTA. XE irs AND GOSSIP BT MAIL. From thc Northern papers we take the fol? lowing paragraphs ol* news and gossip : FINANCE. The Banking and Currency Committee do not eem to be In aay haste to obey the order of the louse, passed several weeks ago. requiring that hey shall report a bill providing for an ioorease >t the currency to the extent of Ofty millions, 'he committee had another meeting to day, but lld not decide to report the bill to the House, .'he committee see very plainly that there ls no ise In submitting a measure of this kind in the ace of so important a one as the Funding bill, for ne House evidently prefers to first test its Unan lal views on the latter. The Committee of Ways ind Means have decided nothing, and will not till hey bear the bank interest next week. Addl tonal memorials are coming to members from he West In favor of the abolition of the national lanks, and the Issue of thc legal tender notes In leu or the bank notes, and the redemption of .200.000,000 or the five-twenties by the Issue of the egal tenders. COIN AND COKRENCV. The coln balance or the Treasury to-day was irge, the total amount being nearly $103,000,000. Ker forty millions, however, are represented by oin certificates. The currency balance was taite low, being less than five millions. From he latter fact there does not seem to be any onbt but that the Secretary will increase his cur ency balance by continuing the sales of gold itu ing April, and possibly by Increasing the gold ales, though by a rebate on the May Interest on he 5-20s, which amounts to $25,000,000, he may void the necessity of increasing such sales, lt > estimated that the coin balance on May 1st dil be $iis,ooo,ooo. TROOPS FOR TENNESSEE REFUSED.

March 28 The General Assembly adjourned tp-day. } 'he Conservative members have published an 1 ddress to the peoplc.in which they say : l*The ? !hiel Magistrate of this State, who is the head c nd front of Radicalism, has seen fit to declare {? ne of our counties (Alamance) In a state of p osurrection, and to call upon Congress lo sus- r end thc writ of habeas corpus tlioughout the t ?tate. We declare there is no sufficient cause ! jr this extraordinary action of Governor [olden. There is and has been no armed re ?8tance, no uprising of the people, no out reaks to disturb or hinder the full administra ion of the civil law. We assert that there is s ot a county in the State in which any process j c flaw may not be executed. It is true that lurders and other outrages have been com litted, but they have not been confined to any articular locality or any political party; and rhen Governor Holden represents to thc 'resident, and Congress that t'iese acts are vidences of disloyalty, he is guilty of a wilful ibel upon a people w"?0sc rights he has sworn o protect."

LONDON, March 25. The proceedings in the House of Commons last evening, on the bill for the protection of | life and property in Ireland, were very inter? esting. After the rejection of the amendment for reducing the terms of imprisonment for carrying arms, from two years to one year, the House proceeded to the consideration of | the clause enabling magistrates to call and ex? amine witnesses where the defendant is un? known. A warm discussion ensued, alter which thc House divided, and the clause was adopted. The clause looking to the closing of inns at sunset also provoked a long debate, but was at length adopted. The bill was proceeded with, clause by clause, until the part relating to press prosecutions was reached, when an amendment was offered for striking out these particular clauses. Daniel O'Donohue, member for Tralee, spoke at length against the bill. He declared that the measure was a continuation of the system of legislation which had absolutely maddened Ireland, by substituting local despots for legal protection. He particularly denounced the press clause, which be affirmed aimed at law-abid? ing journalism in Ireland, and was alone suffi? cient to prompt him to resist the bill to the last Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, member from Oxford University, favored the bill. He said the powers lt gave were safe in the hands of | any ministry answerable to Parliament. The clause for press persecutions, however, was a waste of ammunition where the press was so worthless. Sir R. Palmer, member from Richmond, eloquently denounced the Irish press as trea? sonable and unscrupulous, and the source of | all the delusions blighting that .unfortunate country. After further debate the amendment was re? jected by 315 majority, and the House adjourn? ed at a lute hour. A Dish of English Cossip. LONDON, March 28.

The Article Concerning Infallibility Tbe article relating to infallibility (an addi lon article of thc scltema distributed on the 7th aslant,) ls drawn up In the following terms: :napter to be added to the decree on the suprcm acyorthe Roman Pon tiff, slating that the Ro mau Pontiff cannot err In the definition ol mat? ters of faith and morals. Tlie Holy Roman Church possesses the highest nd compl?te supremacy and predominance over he whole of the Catholic Church, which she truly nd humbly recognizes to have received with the ullness of power from thc Lord Himself, through it. Peter, Prince of Apostles, whose successor ls be Roman Pontiff, and as she ls bound to defend efore others the truth of the faith, so also any uestions which may arUe regarding faith must e defined by her Judgment : because, moreover, tie words of our Lord Jesus Christ, saying, Thon art Peter," Ac, are not to be passed over, hese words have been confirmed by subsequent vents, for the Catholic religion has ever been reserved Immaculate, and Its doctrine has ever cen celebrated In the Apostolic Sec. Hence wc teach, with the approval af the Holy ouncll, and define as a dogma of faith, that by le Divine assistance, the Roman Pontiff, of ?hom, In the person of St. Peter, it hos likewise een said by our Lord Jesus Christ, "1 have rayed for thee," Ac, cannot err when, ?ic:inti s the highest teacher of all Christians, he au tentatively defines what should bc adhered to y thc whole church In matters or faith and mo? ils; and that this prerogative of the Incapability ") err. or infallibility, or the Roman Pontiff, ls mally extensive with thc Infallibility of the burch. lr auy one should presume to contradict this ur definition, which mny God avert, let him now he thereby rails away from the trith of if raith. ^ Fi nner in thc Council. Thc Memorial Diplomatique states, upon thc utlioriiy ol its correspondent at Rome, that upon eccivlng from Cardinal Antonclll a copy ot thc lspatch from Count Daru, ciuhalnz for Prance ?ie right of being represented In the council bv n ambassador, the Pope summoned a mo*''ll? 0-f lie chief members of the Sac;^ rjoiiege, lnciud lg the five presidents -Jx ino Conciliar Congrega lons. In order rj elicit their views as to the an w'er ;0 oe returned to thc Court of France. The orrespondent adds that he is in a position to illrm that the assembly unanimously ap iroved the admission of a French ambassador, 'he Pope even declared that ir lt had been ils desire that the Catholic Powers should ie leprescnted at thc Council, uud that in the iriginal plan ol arrangement or the Daslllca Maces ia proximity to thc Bench or Cardinals had icen reserved for the representatives or the towers, and that these places were only omitted rom the second plan after it had been ascertaln d that the powers would not send represcnta Ives. The same Journal publishes a telegram rom Rome, dated March 10, stating that thc eply or thc Pontifical Court to thc last dispatch >r Count Daru haM just been dispatched to Paris, vhcre lt would be banded by Monsignor Chlgl to he Minister ot Foreign Affairs. The Pope readily iccedes to the desire or the French Court to be epresented at the Council. The Papal Nuncio is ilso charged with th* assurance that the repre entntive of France will be received with nil the onslderation due to the nation he represents. THE CITIZENS CAUSE. Another Journal in Line. [From the Cheraw Democrat.! The anti-Radical Press of the State is called o Columbia on the 10th instant, that some loncert of action may be had in the coming j ?ampaign. We heartily approve the suggestion, or never was there a time when the people ind ihe press of South Carolina need more to vork harmoniously with one common purpose han now. Thc great difficulty generally has >een that in the desire for success, unnecessa? ry and damaging concessions have been made; )ut wc trust that no such thing will be the re? mit of this meeting. We already stand as lear the line of separation between the right ind the wrong of social and political theories is wc can well afford to do. All that ls wanted , now is to declare and consistently maintain the views we hold and the object we seek to accomplish, and to assure all who are con? cerned that our efforts are directed to the purgation of our State government from the corruption which Radicalism has brought into it, and the establishment of strict and equal justice and rigid economy in its administration by competent and honest officers. This far we cheerfully go, lor this is only right and honest. The steamboat Jefferson, with 834 bales of cotton, was burned on Sunday at the mouth of the Black River, Louisiana. BARING HIGHWAY ROBBERIES. A White Man Halted on thc Road, Searched and all his Money Taken from kim by Three Armed Negroes-A Merchant of WaynesriUe also Reliev? ed of Eighty Dollars. The Savannah Republican says: On the afternoon or the 22d instant, as Mr. Thomas C. Wright, one of the pilots of the coast, who had piloted the schooner White Sea from this city to Mr. John Bailey's Upper Mills, on the Sat il? la River, was making his way from the mill to No. 9, Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, on Burnt Ford road, he was called when about seven miles from the mill by three negroes coming out of the woods, asking him to stop a moment as they de? sired to have a few moments' conversation with him. Not dreaming of any harm he stopped, and when the negroes came np and asked him If he had any money, he replied that he had none. The scoundrels then Bald that they wanted him to divide with them. Two of the negroes, seizing Mr. Wright by his arras, led him Into the woods, about three hundred yards from the road, the other following, when they threatened that If he made any noise they would hang him. The third Immediately commenced to search Mr. W. while the others held him, and took lils pocket book containing. $43 60. After taking his money, they ordered him to open his carpet-sack, and, ir he did not do so, lt would be cut open. Mr. Wright, rearing for his life, opened it, when they took rrom the sack a pair of new pants, two new shirts, and two pair of socks. As soon as they had taken everything from Mr. W. that they desired, thc negroes told him that he might go, and If he made any report, or caused them any trouble, the next time they met him on the road they would kill him. Two of the negroes were armed with muskets, and one with a dou? ble-barrelled gun. The above ls not the only robbery that has been committed on that road recently. About three weeks ago. Mr. David Leaner, a merchant of Waynes ville, while riding tn his baggy fi om Jer fersonton to his home, was halted on the same road by fonr armed negroes, who came out of the woods. As soon as the horse was halted, the ne? groes demanded of Mr. Leaner his pocketbook, threatening that If he did not comply with their demand, they would kill him. Being unarmed and alone, he ot coarse complied, and handing them his pocketbook, the negroes took out eighty three dollars In money, and papers or the value or three or four thousand dollars. After exami? nation of the papers, and finding that they were of no value to them, they were thrown into the buggy. The negroes then ordered Mr. L. to go about his business. There ls hardly a doubt that these negroes be? long to the same party that robbed Mr. Wright, and we hope the citizens of Wayne County will turn out en masse and scour the woods in search of these black highwaymen, and use every effort to captare them. These outrages are becoming quite frequent, and unless soon checked, no traveller will be safe on any of tbs public roads. MATTERS Iii GEORGIA. Blodgett bas paid $25,000 Into the State treasury as earnings of the Stat?>Road for Febru? ary. Carey W. Styles, desiring to engage In other business, offers the Albany News ror sale. He says: "Thc News ls the best paying establish? ment in the State, In proportion to the capital In? vested and required to ron lt.. Its advertising patronage ls very large and profitable, and the paper ls on the swelling tide of prosperity." Columbus enjoyed a root race between a Geor? gian and an Alabamian on the 24th Instant. The wager was that, starting from the same point, and going the same direction, Georgia would run 209 yards before Alabama could run 160-purse $100. The contestants started even, and. com? menced a lively gallop. Georgia soon opened a gap between them. Alabama's drawers slipped down, but he quickly caught them up and trotted on. Georgia, deceived by the crowd, stopped at thc iso yard post, while Alabama was some twen? ty yards behind him. Alabama made hls^o yards In twenty-five seconds, was decided wlnnfr, and took the $100. REDUCTION OF NEW YORK RENTS.-Mr. A. IV Stewart has reduced the rents npon all ot his Sew York City property. The reduction is from ten to thirty per cent. In all cases the reductions -vere made without the solicitation or the tenants, viucli or Mr. Stewart's property li occupied by joarding houses. The past winter Laving been a tard one for boarding house keepera, and their un ils having been depleted lu proportion, Kr. -tewan has made a considerable reduction In the .ents of this class of property, the rate or reduc? ion varying from 12 to 25 per cent. Wl h regard o the better class or Mr. Stewart's property, the -eduction In the rents has not, necessarily, been ?o large as In the other cases.

The fluid which it secretes tempers the blood and regelates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality ot the secretion depends, In a great degree, the adaptation of the blood to the requirements of the system and the doe removal or the refuse matter which remains in [he intes? tines after the work of digestion hos been accom? plished. One of the principal asea of. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls to tone and control this s onie wi-" unruly organ. The antl-bllions proper? ties of the preparation are scarcely setondary to its virtnes as a stomachic. Its operation upon the liver ls n~t violent like that of mercury, but gradual and gentle. Instead of creating a sudden tumult In that sensitive gland, lt regulates Its action by degrees. Hence, lt ls a safe remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremen? dous excitant, ls not. The more naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be restored to Its normal condition the better, and lt ls the peculiar property or this harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regulate without exciting or con? vulsing. The success which has attended its use as a remedy for affections of the liver is proverbial. Persons of a bilious habit who take lt habitually as a protection against the attacks to which they are constitutionally liable, pronounce lt the best liver tonic In existence. The symptoms or an approaching flt of biliousness can hardly be mis? taken. A pain in the right side or under the shoulder blades, a saffron tinge tn 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 of a morbid condition of the liver, and as soon as they appear the BITTERS should be resorted to In order to ward off more serious cons?quences. m ch25 Ot drjina, (Erockerrj, #c.
