One of these is the bill for abolishing franking in the Senate, the other the civil ?ervIcc bill In tho House. Both these bills, says the New York Tribune, (RepabUcan,) framed solely In the national Interest, provide for the de? crease of the nation's expenses, yet both were postponed one day last week, in order that the House and Senate migue consider bills which ad? vance only individual interests. The Tribune warningly adds that "we have had too much of this sort ef legislation of late." -The Memorial Diplomatique, reverting to the charge? brou gat against, the ex-Queen of Spahl that she'carded off -the crown Jewels, and had otherwise well provided for her exile, says: "We regret to learn that Queen Isabella, Beeiag her resources diminish dally, has been forced te ef? fect retrenchment In her already modest mode or living, and that if her son is not restored to the throne of Spain; her Majesty win, before loug, be in so precarious a. position that the Emperor and Empress or the French will bc under the necessity cr allowing her a pension." -A Washington dispatch says: "in the forth? coming Republican Congressional caucus a Southern senator intends to propose a policy, to be incorporated into a law, for the better protec? tion of the colored people of the Benth, and to se? cure the enforcement of the Fifteenth amend? ment in the North. . .This wUI take something of the s ti ape er a bill prepared by Mr. Pool, or North Carolina, and which will declare that all citizens of tie United States'shall have, in the several States, all the privileges and immunities nf life, Bberty and property. It wUI declare lt to be un? lawful for persons to combine or conspire to vio? late or hinder, or Impede any of the rights meant to be secured by this act, one of which is to pre? vent the discharge from employment ef any per son with Intent to restrain his free and complete exercise of the elective franchise. Another fea? ture of this proposed legislation is to authorize the President to employ the land and naval forces or the militia to preserve the peace in any State.?' -It was rumored In Wall street on Friday after? noon that Sessums Sc Co., a heavy cotton Arm of Galveston, Texas, had victimized certain bankers of New York City to the tune of over half a mil? lion dollars by drawing against cotton which had never been shipped. The gossips had lt that Mor ton, BUss ic Co., Gardner. Bacon A Co., Williams A Guion, and several others, had been victimized. I The true story of the alleged swindle ls substan? tially as follows: About six weeks ago Messrs. Sessums4 Co.. or Galveston, drew ona firm in New York for ? considerable amount, (bat not so moch as the gessips said,) expecting to cover their draft by a Blilp?entof cotton. This cotton they had io.' the pressend were nnablo te ship Because of the weather. Soon after drawing on the New York house, Sessums A Co. were forced I to suspend, and their creditors in Galveston seiz? ed the. colton in. press. Of course, under these circumstances, they oonli not ship the cotton to New York to cover their draft. Since the trans? action, Sessums A Co., lt ls said, resumed busi? ness, and wUl probably meet all their drafts. I -Patti assumes the right or a Diva to her ca? prices and petulenco in a manner which drives Manager Bagler almost crazy. A few nights since, while singing Lucia, she became suddenly aware of tbe presence of a little pimple on her neck, and at once asserted that she had thc small? pox, and would sing no more. There was ever twenty thousand francs in the house, and Bagicr was in a terrible quandary. He ran for the phy? sician in attendance at thc theatre every night, who smilingly examined the "boho," and as? sured the Diva that it was bnt the outcropping or spring. She refused to be comforted, and said that she had seen several celebrated doctors among the audience, and they should be con? sulted. No soo J er said than done. These skil ru 1 ^prac tit ion ere quite csnflrm ed the announcement ef their confrere, and at last, after the audience had patiently waited some three-quarters of an hear, the cSntatricc condescended to finish the opera. A few nights later she fancied she was growing hoarse, and announced that she would not finish the performance. Again was the dis? may of the manager boundless, and after having daly created all the alarm possible, the Diva gra? ciously concluded to go on. - -The war or the Philadelphia medical students ls over.. It ls ended by a compromise, which, in view or the natural propensity or the male stu? dents to behave as if rowdies, is perhaps the best way or settlement. The point at issue was the right of the students sf the Female Medical School to attend clinics at the Pennsylvania Hospital. The male students made lt extreme? ly unpleasant ror them when they assumed the right some time since, descending ts personal insult and abase, and finally requiring some authoritative legislation on the subject. Clin leal instruction being an absolute necessi? ty in a medical course, to deny the ladles the privilege would be to shut the profession against them and to say that no properly edu? cated woman physicians should bc graduated at the Philadtlphia College. The hospital, too, ls a public charity, established by contribution and Intended for the benefit all. The women thus had a strang case, and .when it was agreed to refer the disputed point to a vete or the contributors to thc hospital, many of whom are all ladles, the result could not be otherwise than favorable. The compromise for walc)i they have voted, is the establishment of separate clinics for the rc maldstudents, whicli is in every way more ac? ceptable and advantageous, while it also at once removes all cause or complaint on the part or the objecting males. "An Independent Prc?," The necessity for an independent press in our country arises from two peculiar circum? stances, which attracted the philosophic at* tention of DeTocqueville during his visit to America-the ptjwer of society in a demo? cratic form of government, and the uniform? ity of legislation. ^ - Where the supreme power i3 lodged in the hands of the peopje, the press which informs the public mind should not be surrendered to partisan manipulation. Every intelli? gent editor, of course, must have formed de? cided views in regard to political measures; but ?t may be questioned whether any mere politician is competent to discharge the duties of that office. For the half-truth3 he publishes have all the effect of falsehoods. These exaggerations confuse the intelligence and inflame the passions which, among us, are the source of legislation. Some histo? rians assure us that a flt of indigestion made Napoleon lose a decisive battle, and thu3 proved eventually the cause of the overthrow of his empire. But the people may lia ve,a fit of indigestion, as well as the monarch, and in their case the disease becomes chronic. And as they have a right to do what they please in a republic, to what straits may they not be driven if they have no better diet than to-day a stale cabbage-head from^Boston, and to-morrow a dish of poison ons mush? rooms from Lowell ? The public taste and the general welfare demand the circulation ofti newspaper, in whose colemos may be found authentic in? formation, liberal views, just criticism arni the unfolding of a policy suited to the pro? gress and the vicissitudes of to-day. vV'hat Charleston was fifty years ago, and what South Carolina will be fifty years hereafter, 'may beg?ubjects of interesting research, or pleasant anticipation ; but what tho city and State are and ought to be to-day, concerns ns vastly more than the records of memory, or the pictures of hope. The press should live ami move and keep abreast of the times, if it would discharge the great function en? trusted to it in a popular form of government Besides, what constitutes one of the dan? gers of such a system is also one of its ad? vantages. The people do not understand complications. They are influenced by gen? eral ideas. They prefer simple rules of ac? tion, easy to be understood and universal in application. Now it is easy to see what ad vant'ge this'tendency of opinion affords to the popular instruction which every day and directly addresses society, and which trans? forms "blind instincts and ungovernable "habits" into great principles and a com? prehensive policy. With ns, the national movement which precipitated the late war and has not yet spent its force, needs at once to be directed and limited. The public miad is confused by the general change-by new laws, new conditions of society, new adjustments of duties and of rights. If the press is to dis? charge its duty under such circumstances, it must be independent. A milk-and-wat?r policy will not serve when difficulties and dangers are on every hand, and when the time has come to shape law, and conserve order, and guard property, and save society itself. When every dear interest of the country is endangered, the greatest of our needs is men bold enough to encounter the public peril, and strong enough to master it. And it is a subject of congratulation, that so many such men are now working for the redemption of South Carolina, men dutering, it may be, in many particulars, but agreeing in regard to the general features of the policy to be pursued, and working diligently aiid hopefully for the same end. We can already see on the edge of the horizon the star that heralds the coming day. Blue Blood and Social Equality. "When Adam delved and Eve span. Who was then the gentleman ?" The speech delivered by Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken before the Immigration Couvention, in which he declined to recognize white im I migrants as his social equals, unless they were gentlemen, has attracted considerable attention, and has undoubtedly excited the indignation of many of thc most highly valu? ed German citizens of the State. That such sentiments should have caused surprise is not at all strange, but it is plain enough that the speaker has the right to regulate hi3 own affairs in his owa way, and that he has not the power, if he had the will, to check the progress of German civilization in America. We do not believe that there are a hundred men in all South Carolina who think as Col? onel Aiken seems to think. If he were the representative or a numerou3 class, there would, indeed, be little hope in the future for the State. From Europe we expect to obtain intelligence as well as muscle, brain os well as physical force; for every sturdy immigrant can, if he will, teach our people something well worth knowing. Slavery impeded the full measure of our prosperity, and, now that slavery is past and gone forever, we must put away the old hab? its of thought, and act and feel a3 free men, who deal with free men. All the sense and ail the cultivation of the universe is net con? fined within the borders of South Carolina. I We have much to learn; and the Germans and the Irish and the English will help U3 to learn it. This question of social equality will settle itself No respectable immigrant, although he be a laborer, will thrust himself where he is not wanted. And he can, if needs be, create a society of his own, just as rigid and as exclusive as the innermost ring of South Carolina gen? tility. An article translated from the Suedlicher Correspondent, ol yesterday, printed in another column, expre33 the opinions of the German citizens of Charleston in regard to Colonel Aiken's speech. The Blue Ridge Railroad. It is reported from Columbia that the $4,000,000 of Blue Ridge Railroad bonds, ( guaranteed by the State, authorized by the act of 1868, are about to be put on the mar? ket The statement is made that the bonds are in course of signature, and that a com? mission has been appointed for their negoti ' ation. Tte commission, we believe, con? sists of General Gurney, General Harrison and Governor Scott. The last named official is said to have sold out all the State bonds and stocks which he had. And now, the Deluge ! Taxes. The State tax on a small house in Colum? bia was $2 52 in 166G, and is $10 this year. The house is valued at S1200. Another house in Columbia, valued at S5000, paid a State tax of S6 30 In 1866, and is now called on to pay S40. In one case the rent of the house bas fall? en from $25 a month in 1866 to SIG in 1970: and in the other it has fallen from $37 50 to $30.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem it unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac There ls hardly a city or town or any note In the country into which they have not round tlfPir way. The reason or this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts or the day, we have stlU runtier improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy or fin vor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, wc think it the best that ls made, at least, this is the decision or the best judges in the conn try. We don't pretend to compete in price with many or the so-called Flavoring Extracts or tne day. which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving or the name. For quality and style, we defy competition. DAVIS A MILLER'S PURE YEAST POWDER.
