VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 137?. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1870.. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. WASHINGTON. [FBOM TBS ASSOCIATES FBK8S.] ^ WASHINGTON, May 19. Senators Revels and Harris attended the wedding ol Mr. Downing's daughter. The af? fair went off very happily. There was a large attendance. The revenue assessments of North and South Carolina show an Increase ol twenty two per cent. In the Southern Pacific bill, as reported by the Senate committee on Tuesday, a mistake in printing occurs. Where it is provided that fifty miles should be built in the second year at the western end of the road, lt should read "at the eastern terminus.'' The question of gauge was carried in committee by a bare ma? jority. It ls generally understood that the en? tire provision regarding gauge will be struck out of .th? bill, thus leaving it to be determined by the company, or the five feet gauge substi? tuted.*^ SENATE. In the Senate a resolution requesting the President to open negotiations with England with a view to the annexation of Canada to ?he United States, was placed on the calendar. A memorial was presented representing that the naturalized citizens of Rhode Island cannot vote unless worth one hundred ano* R?ur dollars of rear estate, and asking a Hy therefor. His to appoint'an appraiser of merchandise Mobile and to r. ?uce taxation were report? ed favorably. The Fifteenth amendment bill was consid? ered. Hamilton, of Maryland, said that it would practically repeal aU registration laws, and that if lt passed noone would be safe in talking to a negro before an election, because he would have the right, upon bis unsupported affidavit, to cause the arrest of aay man be might charge with supposed interference with his rights. Schurz admitted the truth of the Democratic charge that his party had revolu? tionized the constitution by the Fifteenth and other amendments, and argued that the change in governmental policy caused by the war was a revolution that secured in-, di fidual rights in tbe States. Pool took the position that Congress could constitutionally enter a State and deal directly with the rights of electors; that .the prerogatives of citizen? ship could not safely be left to the caprice of States. Howard said the right of the black man to vote in the South would, for half a centiujf5 vet, be (he only safeguard for peace and national authority. Ii the rebel leaders ever came into power again, the war would have to be fought over. The South bad Jost their property and their boasting spirit, but five generations yet to come would not lose their unquenchable hatred of. Northern society and Northern gov? ernment. In case of a foreign war, we would see a disposition at the South to Join the ene? my so as to put down this government they so bated. He would never agree to universal amnesty, for Jefferson Davis and thc rebel ringleaders would come back to rehatch and revivify the lost cause. Personal pride would never allow him to see his name on the same .list of yeas and nays with perjured traitors and 1 enemies of his country. ' The Judiciary Committee presented a report on the Inquiry as tb the corrupt means used te influence senators on the Georgia bill. The testimony is voluminous. HOUSE. In the House, Conner, of Texas, introduced a resolut lou instructing the Committee on For? eign Affairs to inquire and report what meas _u rae were necessary to force Mexico to observe treaty stipulations, and prevent that country harboring American outlaws. Referred. The Committee on Military Affairs reported a bill for th? sale of certain United States prop? erty, including that at Fayetteville, N. C., Mount Vernon, Ala., and Chattahoochee, Fla.; also certain captured property at Shreveport, La., Marshall and . Jefferson, Texas, and in Marfttft and Jefferson Counties, Texas. Passed. In the House a very bitter discussion arose on the Appropriation bill in the feature prc ?iding for a minister to Rome. Religion en? tered very strongly Into the discussion, and sharp passages occurred between Bingham and Torhees, each claiming that the other was playing for Catholic votes. Banks made a personal explanation, defend? ing the San Domingo treaty, holding that our safety depended upon the acquisition of the neighboring islands. - C VB A.. HAVANA, May 19. It is stated that the brothers of General Arango, who abandoned the revolution, have been imprisoned by tbe insurgents. Other ac? counts say they were executed. Arango, at the head of a column of troops, has gone to see about the matter. MEXICO. Crrr OP MEXICO, May \i. ) VIA HAVANA, May 19. j Trinidad Garcia, a revolutionary Congress? man, has been turned over to the courts for trial. The, revolution ls nearly ended. The followers of Pedro Martinez, five hundred strang, have abandoned him. The bandit Bravo is still in the field with six hundred fol? lowers. A heavy earthquake occurred here to-day. No particulars. TUE EBESBTTEBIANS. PHILADELPHIA, May 1?. The General Assembly of the United Presby? terian Church assembled this morning. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Rev. M. W. Jacobus, of Alleghany, Pa., mode? rator of the last Old School Assembly, which was followed by a sermon on "One Spirit and One Body, the Head of the Christian Church," by the Rev. P. N. Fowler, D. D., of Utica, N. Y., moderator of the last New School Assembly. About five hundred delegates are in attendance, and the proceedings were of the utmost interest. A SQUABBLE WITH CANADA. COLLINGWOOD, May 18. The steamer Chicora arrived at 7 o'clock this evening, having again been refused permis? sion to pass-through the Sault St. Marie Canal. Colonel Bolton, commanding ' the British forces, waited on General Cooke,in com? mand of the district, and asked the intention of the American Government with regard to the Chicora. General Cooke replied : "My in? structions are absolute; nothing whatever con? nectai with the Red River expedition can pass the canal-I *jusc therefore absolutely re? fuse lo allow the Chicora to pass." COLUMBIA. State Convention of Teackcrs-A State Association Organized-Postponement of the Bine Ridge Railroad Bond In? junction Case. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.) COLUMBIA. May 19. The State Convention of Teachers met tc ? night at the hall of the Nlckerson House. Mr. Duckett, of Newberry, waa called to the chair, and a State association organised. Mr. H. S. Thompson being elected president. The as? sociator! then adjourned until to-morrow. The Bine RicJge Railroad bond injunction case has been postponed a third time until to? morrow, on account of the Indisposition of Judge Melton._ EXTROPE* The Thunderer on the Morality of Wall street-The Victory of the Sappho Spain. LONDON, May in. The Times has a remarkably bitter tdito . rial article on the alleged mismanagement of Erie Railroad affairs, and the course pursued in relation to shares io the stock market. The writer asserts that the standard of commercial morality ls lower in the City of New York than anywhere else In the world. What here In England would be deemed crimes, are there regarded as masterpieces of financiering. It becomes the American people to purge them? selves o? this reproach, though it will be a task equal In difficulty to the abolition of slavery. The American yacht Sappho, throughout the recent match, was handled by an English cap? tain and crew. The telegram published on Tuesday announcing the award ot the prize to the Sappho was premature. It was late yes? terday afternoon when the Sappho was pro? nounced the winner. The Judges arrived at this conclusion from the Cambria's having dis? regarded official instructions regulating the race, bnt which were faithfully obeyed by the Sappho. The Telegraph has a sensational paragragh giving the strength and plans of the Fenian organization In this country. The London News published to-day, from Spain, important though conflicting dispatches which were received from Madrid direct, and report that the Council tf Ministers determin? ed to confer upon Serrano royal attributes, if no candidate for the throne ls found within a reasonable time. Another of the Continental news agencies have just forwarded telegrams to the effect that the Regency will thrust the crown upon Espartero In default of any other solution of the question. It is believed in some quarters that his resolution to decline the crown ls not absolutely final. ' TORONTO, May 19. ' The Globe and Telegraph have strong arti? cles in favor of building a canal on British , ground arouod Sault Br. Marie, and that privi? leges now enjoyed by American vessels in j Canadian canals shall cease until the question i at-issue ls adjusted. More Arrests in Paris. PARIS, May 19. The police made several more arrests to-day of persons believed to be connected with the regicide plot. Some houses were searched" " and more bombs found. The bullion in the Bank of France has increased thirteen million francs. _v_ ' A. CHAPTER ON DO-NO TM IN G ISM. "If the people of the United States should not ? be free and happy, the fault will be entirely their ! own."-WASHINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. I Excuse me, I am not in the habit of dabbling ! In politics, but the times seem to require every j man having any, the least, regard for the well- : being or doing ot his State to speak out, and | not play the part of do-nothlngism or masterly ? inactivity, as some of the conductors of the ' press are apparently sliding into. For aught I we know, they may be doing well enough as < matters now stand, and would say "let well i enough alone;" but not so with the people, the i taxpayers of our State, by whom we trust their i advice will not be taken. Did you ever know < a general to go Into a fight with the fear he would be whipped, to gain a victory ? Or, to < descend lower in comparison, did you ever see i a teamster stall at the foot of a hill, before i putting the strength of his leam to the test, i get to the top, without more prompt and re- < liable help than we may reasonably expect i from foreign immigration? Goodenough, if we I had them here, but a long time to wait for i help, surely. A forlorn hope, that may suit ' the taste of do-nothings; but not you, your i humble correspondent," nor, as we hope, a i great majority "of the people, both white and i black, of our down-trodden State. Do-not li- i lng, indeed, for fear of what ? Have we any? thing more to fear than has already been in- i flicted on us-than what we have borne and are now bearing ? Have we anything to lose in the game? We think not. Then, why j gently fold our arms and submit to all the in- ! ignltles and onpresslons that our opponents are heaping upun us ? God forbid ! Let us make a ''long pull, a strong pull and a pull al together," both white and colored, to surmount the difficulties and oppressions that are weigh? ing us down-crushing us to the earth. Let us go to work under whatever name you please, except the do-nothing. We have noth? ing to lose, bot much to gain, with the assis? tance of good men and true, be they Radicals, Conservatives or Democrats, whites or blacks -we invite all to come to the rescue at once, and not wait for Immigrants or do-nothings to relieve us. We are greatly pleased with the course THE NEWS has chalkecr out for us to pursue, and which has been so ably advocated by very many journals of our State. AN" OLD CITIZEN. Pendleton, S. C., May 17. ON THE PINNACLE. A Thrilling Scene-Three Alen Stand apon the Cross of a Spire. Considerable excitement was created in the vicinity of the Cathedral in Cincinnati, one day last week, by the daring feats of three workmen engaged io repairing the lightning rod. The Times says : For some time past the lightning-rod attach? ed to the spire bas been out ofr order, and some repair became necessary to - render thc steeple safe. The contract for this work was let out to Mr. J. R. Weston, who promptly took the Job ia hand, and, assisted by two workmefrr'o'ohn Sherrell and Milton Campbell, proceeded yesterday afternoon to luifil the same. About three" o'clock the trio began the ' work ot scaling thc steeple. Beginning at the 1 base, Just above the face of the clock, they be? gan erecting short ladders, one upon thc top ' of another. As soon as one ladder was placed in position and firmly lushed to the steeple, another was attached to the top, and so on in ?his way the bold workmen proceeded until the very "sum? mit of the spire was reached. Some ninety feet of ladders were used in this way. As soon as the perilous ascent began, a crowd com? menced assembling in the street below, and hy? the time the men of nerve had reached the top some five or six hundred spectators had gath? ered about the comer of Eighth and Flumb. all watching with breathless anxiety. At this juncture the interest became intense. Reaching the very apex of the steeple, one or the men crawled np on the cross which surmounts it and stood upon its vcrv top. Tho other two stood beside him upon the transverse beam of the cross. The central figure, holding to the slender lightning rod proceeded to re? move the point and replace lt with a new one, while at the same time he adjusted the insula? tors, and did such other work as was neces? sary. Tho crowd in the street watched the man on the dizzy height, with but one misstep between him and eternity, and were perfectly horrified. It made the blood curdle to cont?m? platele danger which surrounded the man in the crouds, as it were, and tf all the crowd, he perhaps, was the only one who was free from fear and trembling. Many turned away pale and sick with the excitement and strange emo? tions produced by the sight. Having completed his work, the bold artisan and his companions quietly.began the descent, art* aller due time reached the ground in safety. THE METHODISTS. General Conference of thc Methodist Episcopal Church, South. During last Tuesday's session of the confer? ence at Memphis, a large number of reports of committees, of no general importance, were introduced and laid over. Memorials from Louisville and St. Louis, in reference to the removal of the "Book Con? cern," were reported back for action, and after lengthy discussion withdrawn, the Baltimore delegation insisting on its removal to that city in a protracted debate, during which Dr. Bond, of Baltimore, intimated that the "Book Con? cern," like an old ship, if movec, would fall to pieces; that its condition would not bear in? vestigation, which was repelled by Drs. Bed? ford and Green. The whole question was finally referred to a special committee of nine. After considerable debate on the reports of the Committee on Education, the following resolution from "thc minority report was adopted : Resolved, That we endorse the action of the last General Conference in reference to a Biblical course in connection with our existing colleges, as the best available means for train? ing young preachers. THE WEATHER AND CROES. Jrewberry. The Herald says: "We learn that from pres? ent appearances the yield.of wheat in our dis? trict and above will be Immense. It is be? lieved that flour will not command more than six dollars per barrel, during the summer. Notwithstanding the late seasons, so adverse to cotton planting, the young plant comes up with a boldness and stoutness that ls some? what unusual, and there arc some very fine stands. Barring the injury thal the dryness does to gardens, and the back set to cotton planting, no harm is apprehended to field crops. Wheat harvesting it ls hoped will go bravely on, and with rains a little later, col? ton and corn must push forward luxuriantly." Sumter. The News says : "We are suffering from a long continued drought. On Monday night the thunder thundered, and the lightning lighten? ed-but no rain came out of it. Really, the subject ls so dry that we quit it." Williamsburg. The Klngstree Star says : "There are great complaints from all portions of the district on account of thc cool and dry weather. The cold nights have been very Injurious to the cotton that is up; and that which is not already up rea alns in the ground for want of sufficient moisture to cause it to germinate. The farmers generally, wc learn, have their lands in fine condlt'.ou, and are making vigorous effort to ?ecure a good harvest. The only thing neces? sary to maka their crops nourish is the want of rain, which has been for some time and is still greatly needed in this section." THE JUNE CONVENTION. Thc Policy of Prompt Action. [From the Columbia Phoenix.) In to-day's Issue, our readers will observe a communication which comes to us irom thc upper part of the State. Thc point made by the writer we have no desire to decline put? ting before the public. It is for the June Con? vention to organize the mode of action for political improvements in this State. Let the people meet aod reason together la conven reatlon, and let such views as those suggested by our correspondent and others receive a Fair and dispassionate consideration. Whilst we, as before, are now la sympathy and la principle with a liberalized Democratic organi? zation, we shall be found ia accord with any organization that shall be adopted by the men af the State to energize and organize a caavass ia opposition to the present corrupt regime. We shall be found to approve whatever shall be adopted ia the line ol effective and earnest iction. We desire to lift south Carolina up ind oj>en wide our gates to thc settler, the Im? migrant and the capitalist. We care not how this is done, provided the means are practical, ?fficient and honorable. Of this, however, wc feel sure, viz: That jur mode of procedure should be prompt, spirited and aggressive. Our correspondent regards us os hasty In assuming that this or .hut man is to be thc nominee ol' tile Radical convention. In reply, we have this to say, that, In our judgment, it is always advisable to reach as speedily as possible the ultimate iaaiysis of a matter, and equally advisable, when satisfied upon the point, to base action thereupon. We do not assume to bc wiser in our day and generation than others. But we Jo oflen reach conclusions in advance of the actual developments of time, and in that event we become responsible for our judgment, aud stand or fall according to the result. We are by no means satisfied that it is good policy for us to wait and build our hopes and plans upon the contingency of a split in the ranks of our political foes. We do not regard lt good policy tims to stand aloof and refer our reform work to future accidents. We kuow that ll ls tiie tendency of many men, and par? ticularly ol'weak or unprincipled men, to gra? vitate towards thc majority. But we also know that it is a spirited, moving and aggres? sive army that gathers recruits and hus few deserters. The minority in South Carolina must grow into a majority by fidelity, persis? tency, endurance and forward movements. In ancient times a brave mun, struggling with the storms of Fate, was deemd a spectacle pleasing to men and gods. In all times, help comes to those who help them? selves, and a minority that ls faithful and ac? tive, has truth and justice and right on its side, must ultimately win. Hence, aa we have before expressed ourselves, let our mode of political action be active Rad progressive. Let the June Convection initiate action, Putout Its candidates and sustain them. As wc under? stand lt, thc opposition In South Carolina want to put before the people no defeated aspirant in thc Radical Convention. The men that the opposition desire to sustain should go before thc Stute with the impriinatur ot an original and a complimentary selection. Tiiis will give lone lo tile canvass, and this will give the ele? ments of possible success. THE PLOT AGAINST NAPOLEON. iHtercstlns Details. Notwithstanding grave doubts have been expressed as lo the genuineness of thc reported plot to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon, out foreign flies contain details which disclose that a most formidable conspiracy has for a long lime been forming under the immediate charge of one Baury, the principal agent of Hie plot, a young fellow of some twcnty-lwo years of age, born in Spain, of French parent s; aman of energetic and resolute character, who, by changing his residence daily, long eluded detection. Expert detectives, however, after two days' of vigorous search, discovered not only the whereabouts of the culprit, but everybody with whom he was in communication. At the time of his arrest he had just alighted from his car? riage and turned his steps toward a house of ill-iame, where ho hud passed the preceding night. Just at that moment thc commissary of police, who had been following him from early morning, went up to the conspirator and addressed him by his Christian name, and while Baury, who was thunderstruck with surprise, was endeavoring to remember the name and face ol* his interlocutor, the officer gave a pre? concerted signal, and several of his deputies, who were concealed, were at hand, rushed forward, seized the hands of the culprit and pinioned Ujern behind his back. Thcv took from the prisoner a letter from Flonreris, also a six-shot revolver, and a rough draft of a note written by himself and addressed to Flourens, in Milch he asked for money, and added: "The amputation will take place on the 29th, in the evening. I am ready." Flourens also recom? mends him to disguise himself as a soldier, in order to fire on the Emperor. The bombs, by which means the murder was to be accom? plished, prove to have been of the most dan? gerous and deadly description ever known, even rivalling those invented by the celebrated Orsinl. Each bomb is divided perpendicularly into two halves, which, when united, form a fig? ure somewhat resembling a thick case with a hole in the centre. The upper and lower cavi? ties are ribbed inside and pierced with eigh? teen holes, to which can be adapted nipples and caps, or nails with the heads inside. The interior of this terrible instrument contains four glass tubes, a quarter of an inch in diame? ter and four inches in length, which are filled with fulminating powder. The mere shock of | a fall would be sufficient to break the glass and produce an explosion. The amount or ex? plosiv? material which each one of the bombs is capable of containing ls sufficient to spread destruction in a circle of at least thirty yards around, and the loree with which the frag? ments would be discharged is sufficient to kill instantaneously. THE VATICAN COUNCIL. Important Decree on Catholic Faith. We have now an approved translation of the first "Dogmatic Decree of the Council of the Vatican." It is the decree of the assembled Fathers on the subject of Catholic faith, and possesses, consequently, great interest. The translation has been, carefully revised for the Catholic World magazine by some of the Fath? ers attending the Council. The (Ecumenical paper is ol considerable length, and the^ub stance of it is given at the close In the follow? ing canons: FI HST-OP GOD, THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS. First. If any one shall deny the one true God, Creator and Lord of things visible and Invisi? ble; let him be anathema. Second. Ii any one shall unblushingly affirm that besides matter nothing else exists; let him be anathema. Third. If anyone.shajl say that the substance or essence of God, antroi all things, is one and the same; let him be anathema. Fouth. If any one shall say that finite things, both corporeal and spiritual, or at least spiri? tual things, are emanations of the Divine sub? stance; Or that the Divine essence, by manifestation or development of itself, becomes all things; Or, finally, that God ls universal ?r Indefinite Being, which, in determining Itself, constitutes all tilings, divided Into genera, species and in? dividuals; let him be anathema. Fifth, ll any one do sot acknowledge that the world and all things which it contains, both spiritual and material, were produced in all their substance by God out of nothing; Or shall say that God created them, not of His own will, lree from all necessity, but through a necessity such as that whereby He loves Himself; Or shall deny that the world was created for the glory ol God; let him be anathema. SECOND-OF REVELATION. First. If any one shall say that certain knowledge of the one true God, our Creator and Lort), cannot be attained by the natural light of human reason through thc things that are mode; let him be anathema. Second. If any one shall say that it is im? possible or inexpedient for man to be instruct? ed by means ol' divine revelation in those things that concern God and the worship to be rendered to him; let him be anathema. Third. If any one shall say that man cannot, by the power of God, he raised to knowledge und perfection which Is abare that or nature; but that he can and ought of hts own efforts, by means ol constant progress, to arrive ft last to the possession of all truth and good? ness; let him be anathema. Fourth. If any one shall refuse to receive for sacred and canonical the books of holy Scripture In their integrity, with all their parts, according as they were enumerated by the holy Council at Trent: Or shall deny that they are inspired by God; let him be anathema. THIRD-OF FAITH. First. Ii any one shall say that human rea? son is in stich wise independent, that faith cannot be demanded of lt by God; let him be anathema. Second. If any one shall say that divine faith does not differ Irom a natural knowledge ol God. and of moral truths; and therefore that for divine faith it is not necessary to believe revealed truth on the authority of God who reveals it; let him be anathema. Third. If any one shall say that divine reve? lation cannot be rendered credible by external evidences, and therefore that men should bc moved to faith only by each one's interior ex? perience or private inspiration; let him be an? athema. Fourth, ff any one shall say that no miracles can be wrought, and therefore that all ac? counts of such, even those contained In the sa? cred Scripture, are to be set aside os fables or myths, or that miracles can never be known with certainty, and that the divine origin of | Christianity cannot be truly proved by them; let him be anathema. Fifth. If any one shall say that the assent ol' | Christian faith ls not free, but is produced ne? cessarily by arguments ol' human reason; or that the Grace of God is necessary only lor liv? ing faith which worketh Dy charity; let him be anathema. Sixth. If any one shall say that the condi? tion ol'the faithful, and of those who have not yet come to the only true faith, is equal, in such wise that Catholics can have Just reason from withholding their assent und calling into doubt the failli which they have received from the teaching ol the church, until they shall have completed a scientific demonstration ol' thc credibility and truth ol' their faith; let him be unalhema. FOURTH-OF FAITH AND REASON. First. If nnv one shall say that divine reve? lation Includes no mysteries, truly and prop? erly so called, but that all the dogmas of faith may, with the aid ?f natural principles, be un? derstood and demonstrated by reason duly cul? tivated; let him be anathema. Second. If any one shall say that human sciences ought to be pursued In such a spirit ol' freedom that one may be allowed to hold, xs true, their assertions, oven when opposed to revealed doctrine; and that such assertions may not be condemned by the Church; let him be anathema. Third. If any one shall say that it may at anytime cometo pass, in the progress of I science, that the doctrine set forth by the church must bc .taken in another sense than that in which tlie church has ever received and yet receives them; let him be anathema. Wherefore, fulfilling our supreme pastoral duty, we beseech, through the bowels of mercy ol' Jesus Christ, all the Christian faithful, and those especially who are set over others or have the office of teachers, and furthermore wo command them, by authority of the same our God and Saviour, to use all zeal and in? dustry to drive out and keep away from holy church tho.-e errors, and to spread abroad the pure light ol" faith. And whereas it is not enough to avoid here? tical pravily, unless at the same time we care? fully shun those errors which more or less ap? proach to it; wc admonish all that it is their duty to observe likewise Ihc constitutions and decrees ol'this Holy See, by which wrong opin? ions of the same kind, not expressly herein mentioned, are condemned and forbidden.
