' -As th? exact ra mon ship of the Lee family to the Arlington property was not clearly stated in the recent debate hi the Senate, lt should be un? derstood that '* never belonged to General Lee.

Subsequently-errons wei? made to redeem lt by paying thc amount of taxes, bot they were anwccessful, and thc title is still vested to thc government by virtuo of the tax salo alluded to. -The fate ot the honest fisherman who sadly ended bis piscatorial eirort6 by going down to "feed the fish he'd ba ted ort before," ls striking? ly paralleled in the fate or the ex-Mayor of Rich? mond, George Cahoop, so unhappily notorious for being involved ld the quarrel for the mayoralty or Richmond-that finally ended in thc frightful courthouse dlsas-e?.

" -The clock at present in the cathedral at Stras? bourg ls not the original one. It is. In reality, the third, all very wonderful pieces ol mechanism. The first clock was commenced in 1332, and com? pleted two years afterwards by John, Bishop or Uchtenburg. It was placed In the don'-lc tran? sept, oppoiitc to thc place or. the present clock. There Is still to be seen in the Wall the brackets which served to support.- The second clock dates Irom 1547, but, from various causes, was not com? pleted till thc 24th of J-mc, 1074. This clock was restored the first time in 1CC9; a second time In 1732, and ceased to work altogether in 1789. The present dook was commenced In June. 1838, and was set go'.n; for thc first time on Sunday, thc 2d of October, 1842, on the occasion or the tenth scientific congress o? France, which mst.at Stras? bourg. It was solemnly inaugurated on thu cist or December followiug, when a nocturnal fete was given to the maker. -The correspondent of the London Telegrpoh with the German army of-the Loire writes as >l lows or tho services or the Pruss?au ca vi r: "The various movements or the Cerman tr- is have been hitherto conducted without any it tempt at molestation on the part or the enemy. Protected by a thlek curtain or ever-watchful, eavairy, the infantr* hive moved hi perfect free-' dom, without even a thought of danger to harass ?rlmpede?them. No branca or thes?rvlce has con? tributed more to the marvellous successes of this campaign than the cavalry; aud military authori? ties will do well to consider the great importance of that arm aa. evidenced in the praent war. Pushing on sometimes two or even three clays' march ahead of the colainas, the cavjlry have with an audacity that would have amounted to recklessness but for the extraordinary cat e and .kill in their movements, and their topographical knowledge-succeeded in not only completely covering and guarding thc advance of the armies, but also in obtaining such accurate and constant information as to the strength, position, and movements or the enemy, that the German com manders have never been af a loss to know in i 'Which direction to concentrate their troops, where I to reinforce, or where, without danger, to weaken I a corps. . -The.correspondent of the London Daily News at the Prussian headquarters says : "I under? stand that lt has been under discussion whether the King shall enter r^ns when the capitulation takes pl icc, and that it ls all but decided that he is not to do .so, but that Prussian royalty is to be represented by thc Crown, Prince Unquestionably tho KltiK'a cutty luto Paris would be attended with considerable personal rl?k. It ia unfortu nare?r.'l fear, too true that in the press?t de? teriorated tone or French feeling au assassin would ho halle-l a? a hero, and regarded as a martyr. The type of maniac who cuts Uiejraph wires In ignorance, whether they are tn u--c by tho enemy or not, and who spo's with au eigh? teenth century fusil through a caf? window tito Uhlan who ls the avant courier or an army (aUt< I tie eccentricity which was displayed at Rheims.) is not to be restrained from what his diSCaaed imagination wouH cousi 1er a still nobler act by the sober cornishs of mayors trembling tn the terror or burnings and requisitions, or the sterner argument or personal consequences. Klug Wil? liam is as brave as most men, that all must own wha have seer, the gallant old Monarchundecfirc. and were thc risk but a pcrsoual oue.T doubt not he would laugh at the meu who counsel him not to enter'Paris. But the question ls so fur removed from this category that I need not fut thor allude to the subject.'! South Carolina.and Congress. A week or two ago thc Burn well Sentinel published a memorial in which Congress was asked to appoiut a committee "to iuves "tigote and report on the political condition .'olSouth Caroiina, and to niukesuch sugges? tions as to them may seem lit, wise and "pruper." The memorial set forth the charger against the State government, with which the peopie became familiar during tho late political canvass, and was desired to be signed throughout the State. IQ this direc? tion we believe that little, if anything, has been done. The New York World, how? ever, has heard that the memorial is now re? ceiving signatures prior to its presentation, and it urge3 upon Congress the propriety of acceding at once to the request which the memorial embodies. Thi3 makes it proper for us to say that the people of South Caro? lina, according to our information, do not court or desire any interference ou the part of the General Government. It ia only reasonable to suppose that any Congressional committee which might, at this time, be appointed would report in favor of the State administration ; and even a sat? isfactory report would be of little bene? fit to* *the people. A Radical Congress will not meddle with a Radical State government, and the debates in the Senate and House this wee!: point out th- malignant spirit in wit ich any opposi? tion movement would be received. The moral effect of au exposure of the iniquities i of the past two years would uot be worth I two straws in the way of preventing abuses | in the future. Moreover, any violent agita- i tion against the present State Government, now that it promises better thitig3, would unquestionably interfere with the usefulness of the few inen who are striving to do good, and would, besides, ' exercise an injurious influence upon the business prospects of the State. We know too well how much- remains to be done before South Carolina may rejoice in the possession of - a government which is thoroughly capable, thoroughly representa? tive and thoroughly honest. But we are convinced that we can work out the problem for ourselves more speedily and more surely than a congressional committee, with Con? gress at its back, could possibly do it for us. Burnt children dread the lire. We pray that we bc let alone. . Thc Regulation of Lahor. Aaron Logan, ono of the negro members of tb? Legislature, carries off tho palm as the proposer of a plan cf regulating labor, which is as comical as it is absurd. This new conjuring trick takes the shape of "a "pill for the regulation of labor contracts," which begins with a multitudinous where? as, and in the first section onacts "that on "and after the passage of this act, tho Ia "borers and employees may assemble at "their respective polling places in, the State "on the first Mondays in January, April,' "July and October in each year, to propose "and decide Ly ballot apon a fair price to "be charged and paid for labor, fuily dis? charged, by the day and month, and a ju3l "and reasonable portion of tho crops; and "laborers discharged during any fractional "parts of a month shall be paid for in accor? dance with the price agreed upon as a day's "wages." Section 2 provides for the meet? ing of mechanics, tradesmen, artisans and the employees for the purpose of adjust? ing uniform prices for their respective trades, crafts, ?fcc The rates adopted by them are to be considered thc minimum rates for the next three months, or until changed Section-i provides-that at these quarterly meetings three managers of elec? tion shall be chosen, who shall receive two dollars each for their services in conducting tho election. The County Commissioners to furnish ballot-boxes. The polls are to be kept open from C o'clock A M. to 5 P. M. The followiug is the mode of voting. "Each '?voter being eighteen years of age, and not "under, shall provide, himself with a ballot, "upon which shall be written or printed, first "the name of his avocation, then tho price of "a day's lubor.anda month's labor; and those "engaged in agricultural pursuits shall have "written or printed thereon, instead cf prices, "the portion ot.the crop or crops. The prices "receiving thc highest votes, shall be deein "ed the minimum prices to be charged ami "paid for labor during the three months "following." Section 7 i3 tho "intermediate" clause, and provides that auy employer threatening or discharging his employee for voting as he pleases , is subjected to a fino of fifty dollars and thirty days' imprisonment We suggest toat this round about way of growing rich is .unworthy of ihc wisdom or experience of the South Carolina Legisla? ture. . Representative Logan does not go far enough. He should immediately propose an ameudment to thc constitution, declaring that whosoever hires laborers docs so for their benefit and not for his own pro?t, and that the rate of the remuneration of every laborer so employed shall be determined, not by the value of his work, but by his owu es? timate of what, his services are worth. To this might bc added a provision for extract? ing sunbeams from cucumbers, pr, in other words, for extracting sense from the non? sense of Aaron Logan and his colleagues, and then the organic law would be charm? ingly complete. County Taxes. The discussion, in the House o? Represen? tatives, or the proposal to authorize a county tax, in Charleston'- County, of five mills on tho dollar, brought to light some, startling facts. Jervey, one of the members from Charleston, said that the county com nrissiouers had already issued more checks than they could pay, and Bo3emon admitted that tho county was in debt to- the tune of j 3100,000. Lee asked that, Edgelield, also, might hay? a tax of live mill*, upon tho ground that a three-mill tax would only pro? duce about $27,000, which 3nm would be swallowed up in trial justice fees. It ?3 evident that under tho present system, or want of system, the county commissioners may levy the a*uthoriaed tax, and then spend aa tauch aa they choose, leaving to .their suc? cessors the unpleasant duty of making good the. deficiency. There ia au urgent need of reform is this matter, and wc call to the at? tention of the General Assembly the follow? ing extract from the message of Governor j Scott, submitted to them only a few days ago, and already, we suppose, well-nigh forgotten : "I would direct your attention to Ibo laws defining the powers and duties of county com? missioners, and their piTvisions and abuses. From the frequent complaints against some of the boards, it v?ould bc imagined that they wero devoted more to private acquisition than thc faithful discharge of a public trust. In neighboring States the office of county com? missioner is looked upon moro as an honorary station, bestowed as a mark ot confidence and trust in the judgment and business capacity ot the individual, rather than as a position of pecuniary emolument, and, except in the neighborhood of large cities, the compensation is but trivial, seldom amounting to more than from fifty to a hundred dollars per annum. Stringent laws are required lor tho preven? tion and punishment of abuses, which will re? strict expenditures within legitimate bounds, forbid all participation, direct or Indirect, In contracts, for which proposals should be In? variably advertised, restricting thc amount of county orders Issued, constituting the county auditor the permanent clerk of the board, by whom all orders should be signed and issued. TDB Yorkville Enquirer expresses its re? gret that manifestations of violence, which all good citizens must condemn, have ap? peared in York Connty, and suggests that at as early a day as practicable the law-abiding people of the county hold a meeting, and in conjunction with the constituted authorities, take such measures a3 will secure to the county that peace hud order which they so much desire. MR. CRITTE.VDEX, one of the Reform mem? bers from Greenville, offered an amendment on Wednesday to prohibit the members of j tho General Assembly from drawing their pay during the Christmas recess The amendment '..as supported by all the Reform members, but was promptly luid on the table by the squandering majority.
