The premises were quickly consumed, with its effect?. The property was owned by Alder? man Richard Holloway, on which thero was no insurance. The origin of the fire 13 un? known. The efficiency aud promptness of the firemen prevented what seemed at one time a disastrous conflagration, owing lo the com? bustible nature of the buildings contiguous. THE STATE CAPITAL. NEW* ASE- GOSSIP OF THE HOLI? DAY SEASON. Christmas at thc Columbia Hon I - "An Up-Conntry Outrage" Exposed-Thc Xrfte "IUls Tax -Extension of the Charleston City Limits-The Educa? tional Institute, ?Sic, &c. [FROM ora OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, December 28. The holidays seem to have upset matters up here in Columbia. Polities have been com? pletely laid as'de, and merry making of all kinds has been the order or the day. What, with fairs, skating, horse-racing, cock-fight? ing and church-going, lt would be strange if every one hadn't something to amuse him. . CHRISTMAS AT THE "COLUMBIA." At the "Columbia" a kind ofgo-aral strang? er's holiday was kept up. When persona ai e travelling on a holiday, it is really an enjoy? ment to be thrown in with kind and obliging strangers. Every one at the "Columbia" did his best to make some' one happy, and suc? ceeded. Friend Gorman, the cenia] landlord, ran things periectly "disregardtess," and wine and nogg, and edibles, and all the other good thined were here, there and everywhere. Mr. Budds, tonserly of Charleston, now cashier of the hotel, was untiring to add to his reputa? tion for urbanity, and with the assistance of Major Halleek, who is an Al hotelist, (aud of course, knows what every ono wants bet?re he knows it himself,) succeeded admirably. It will be a long time before the guests forget Christmas at the "Columbia." RAT'ICAL CORPSE-MAKING." The Radical party of this State have always been too willing to credit tales of outrages and kukluxlng, and have furt her done their utmost to li.cito them. The up-country is fruitful soil for all sorts of disturbances." 'In fact, lue pnrase "Disturbances in the up-coun? try" has become so common that no need is paid to it by sensible people. Every few days 80UJP unknown individual is hung or maltreat? ed in some unknown part of the country. He is sometimes really a victim-but much more generally only so on paper, one of these, who has had thc felicity of being hung and not knowing it is Wiley Draper. Some time since I exposed the canard ol his demise, and was in turn contradicted as one who "was paid lor lying." Knowing full well that the stories ot the constables and Radicals from the section where Diaper lives were not only false in themselves, but regular Webslerian Iles-at? tempts to deceive, as well, I have sent for and obtained affidavits rroin respectable parties, which speak for themselves us plainly as any? thing can speak. I have, beside?, an affidavit from Wiley C. Draper himseit, taken before one of Scott's trial Justices. The following is the affidavit: STATS OP SOUTH CAROLINA, SPAItTANBURQ COUNTY. . Personally appeared Wiley C. Drnper before me, a trial justice for the county aud State aforesaid, and makes oath that the report that bas been In circulation that he was hung. ls incorrect. That he is a citizen of i nion County, and that no vio? lence has been used upou his person In auy way, and knows no cause lor thc circulation of ihe re? port. He'furthermore states that he lived with Mrs. D. B. Holcombe last year, and until soaic lime lu February last, when his house was bumed, which was purely accidental, caused by the wooden chimney tatting Are. That lt was in the day time, and that one ol his daughters (a grown woman) was in the house at thc time, and also that the family of Mrs. llolcomiicdid everything ia their pow?.' to stop the Ure. .(&:<*ne<i) WILEY C.

A NSW REAL ESTATE AtfEXCY. As an. evidence of tho increasing prosperity of Columbia I notice the formation ol' a ne w firm for the sale ol real estate. Messrs. E. W. Selbels & Co. have just opened their office here, and have filled a want long felt. Seve? ral attempts have buen made to sturt such itu enterprise, but none as yet on so extended u plan. Mr. Selbels is well known ever the State as the secretary ot the Reform party. He has associated wilh him Mr. J. B. Ezeil, well and long known among insurance men. The first large public sale will bc made on the 9th of January, when Hie well known proper N ty of the United Stales Hotel, on Main street, Collpbia, will be sold in building lots of good size. A large amount of real estnie is advertised by Messrs. Selbels & Co, arnon:; which is the well known watering place ot Wiiliamston Springs, in Anderson County, localed directly on the Greenville Railroad. THE NINE MILLS TAXATION. Although legislative mailers have Hie go-by just now, we hear considerable comment o? the nine mills tax amendment, adopted by Hie House just prior lo adjournment lor the holi? days. Its meets with decided disfavor, and' there is no doubt that iL will meet with still further opposition when tho Legislature reas? sembles. Even among the Kadlcols lhere arc many lighting il now. In Hie doom o "? the House O'Connell spoke at length in lavor ol the reduction of the mic ot taxation. He desired that eight mills.should be levied instead ot nine nulls, altliO!t"h lie voted previously lor thu latter rate. If there was a deficiency bill Introduced ho would sup? port lt, should it be shown io him that it was right and just. The entire expenses of the counties arts borne to-day by the counties ? themselves, whilst previously incy were borne by the Stale. The only exp?iist S of Hiv Stale, at present were Hie payment of Ihe Slat? offi? cials, no oue of whom received more tliuu three thousand dollars salary. Ile desired io know where this vast amount o? money was togo. He continued In this strain lor -onie time, and succeeded in staving off the ndop liou of Hie nine mids amend mc ul. O'Connell is a good worker, aud almost always carries his point. EXTENSION OF THE LIMITS OF CHARLESTON*. No bill has yet been Introduced to extend tb^fliinits of the City of Charleston. Notice haisTjeen given of two bills for Hutt purpose. Mr T. H. Davis has given notice ol such a bill, by the provisions of which the iimiisofthe eily are to be extended up to the Six-mile House. The bill lias not yet been drawn up, and will not be presented for some time. EDUCATIONAL ISSITTUTE. The Educational Insritalc of South Parolina, which was organized hist May by a State con? vention ot teachers, in Columbia, lias held its first annual meeting. This body ol men cm braces some ol' the most earnest and working menin the profession. The pr?sid?t of Hie institute is Captain Hugh S. Thompson, ann its corps ol'officers are efficient ami practical men. Among the items of ireneral interest is tho appointment of a committee, ol willoh Professor Jumes H. Carlisle is chairman, whose office is to nppoint competent teachers to prepare essays on leading subjects connect? ed wini education and leaching-these essays to be read before the insentient Its next meet? ing in August. The place ot the uext meeting is Greenville. tselbre this meeting was read an essay on the best methods oMeaclilng Lilin, by Mr. Benjamin It. Stuart, of Winnsboro'. Tho an? nual address ot the inst Ititi e was delivered in the Washington street Methodist Chapel by Professor Carlisle. His subject was "The Schoolmaster,'' and for an hour tho accom? plished speaker held his audience in the closest attention. Barely have tiie claims, duties, re? sponsibilities, mid character in general ol' the teacher been portrayed in a more forcible and striking manner. Learning, wit, quotation and authority tilled an hour as usefully and as ably as a Columbia audience lias listened to in many a day. WEATHER IN HAMPTON ROARS. FORT MONROE, December 29-7:15 P. M. A severe northwest snow storm set in last night and continued till-noon to-day. About six inches of snow tell. The Bteamer General Terry, from Newborn for New.York, put in for a harbor.

The decision involves the ultimate refunding of several millions of dollars. Mrs. Belknap, wile of the Secretary of War, is dead. She was Miss Toralinson, of Ken? tucky, and sister of Lieutenant Toinlinson, who served the Confederacy as the aid ol ' General Samuel W. Ferguson. Gilbert G. Ferris, late deputy revenue col? lector of the Third Mississippi District, has . been arrested on thc charge of representing himself as a revenue officer after dismissal, whereby he obtained money; also, the em? bezzlement of one hundred and fifty dollar? ] worth ol stamps. Mr. Pleasanton will assume the commission ership of internal revenue on Tuesday next. Michael Dunhegan, while quarrelling with . his motlier, at Elizabeth, N. J., yesterday, shot , her dead. A QUEER STOUT. Northern Reports from Sooth Carolina < -Thc Lauren* Cumpuign and lt? Re- ! suits-Dan Kerrigan and His Bnmi. [Washington Correspondence of the K. Y. Herald. 1 At thc late election in South Carolina eleven Unionists, while and colored, were killed al , Laurens Courthouse, among them being a Mr. \ Powell, a native ol Ohio aud -Tnd<<-e of Probute of the county. In consequence of representa- 1 tious made to the war department by the ? Slate authorities, who declared themselves ; powerless to enforce the law and to arrest the murderers, a large military force was recently I dispatched to South Carolina, under command i ot Brevet Mujer-General Cnrliu, major of the sixteenth Infantry. This force was direct ed by General Terry to co-operate witli the State authorities and to act ns u protection to ? the United States Marshal in arresting the ot- , fenders upon wriis issued by a Circuit Court commissioner. The troops reported to Gov- 1 ernor Scott at Columbia, and in company with the Marshal proceeded thence by rail and wagon-road to Laurens Courthouse, and, ? owing to the fact that the town was not con? nected with Columbia by telegraph, sue- ' ceeded in surprising and arresting eleven i persons charged wi. h murder, and" brought them to Columbia fur trial. The pailles ar? rested were citizens ol prominence and 1 wealth, but the Federal grand jury, t for political reasons, Ignored the bills against - them. They were, however, re- . arrested upon writs issued by the State Authorities und held In custody until Judge Vernon came to Columbia and granted writs of habeas corpus for their discharge. Pending these proceedings Hie L?gislature Impeached Judge Vernon for high crimes and misdo- ' meanors, but he paid no attention io the net i of tho Assembly, and permitted the prisoners < lo give bail, which they did, and hurriedly left bclore they could be rearrested.

In consequence H oops were left at Columbia to protect Hie Legislature fruin Hie threatened Invasion of lian Kcrrigau and his men. Upon bis rel um to Columbia General Carlin w'us surprised to And Hie re? ported foray upon the Legislature untrue; but discovered thal Kerrigan and his band were emigrating to a gold mine in thal vicinity, which was reported to be very rich, and that the party, with its chief, was not as ferocious 1 as represented. As the people of the country i where tho gold mines lay were very hostile lb , strangers, a guard was supplied to Dau Kerri? gan's emigrants lor their protection. 1 THE COLLAPSE OF GRANT.

[Correspondence of thc New York Tribune.] PARIS, (70HI Day of Blockade) Nov. 27. Among the many notable peculiarities of this doge lhere is perhaps none more remarkable than lite quality and abundance of food, con? sidering that there are full 2,000,000 of us eat? ing into our stock now lor more than two aionths. Salt meat from the government stores was substituted this last week for the lrst time for Iresh in the butchers' shops; then we came back to fresh; aud so ure to lUlernale is long as the latter holds out.

Tue recovery of Orleans was as helpful as u nioul li'- revict nailing. Con tin nu as buller news from the departments since chen keel) np our spirits, we no longer feel so aloue, so deserted of France, as we did during lliat oppressive silence that lasted from Hie 2?lh ol October to November ll. The thous? ands (yes. thousands) of private photomicro scopic telegrams from ali parts of the country, brought In by pigeon post, haye done more, perhaps, to lilt up our people's heans than the official reports Irom Tours. It was a mistake on the part ofi thiii govern ernroeut not to publish Immediately on the rupture of negotiations a simple] statement of what its condition of revictiiading really was; not so much lor the sake ot jotting it before tile foreign world as soon as Bismarck's cun? ning misrepresentations, as for letting Parisi? ans-a much more interested and more impor? tant party-know tlie truth in a matter so deeply concerning them. It would have saved n great deal of discussion, the tendency of which was to Weaken tho authority O? govern? ment, to distract attention h om the main busi? ness ol defence, the renovation df the patriotic liles. Bul Bismarck himself put ail righi again. His circular of November 8th reached govern? ment, (in Hie Prussian-French paper ot Ver? sailles,) on the 21si, and was printed in the Journal Officiel, ol the22d. Certain)y noirlend of our cause has wrltien more efficiently lor it. Since Favre's report of his Interview wiih Bis? marck at Ferneres, I don't recall any Frencii document, speech or article that has had a liner tonic effect on our people than this Prussian Slate paper. If his special object had ocen to encourage Paris to prolonged resistance. I don't see how he could have done better. I dpm>t even if a sterner tone-more brutally-tvjjuld have helped it. That, however, he has Wildly ad? ded sine?. His treatment of Itoynai and Le Sourd at Versailles, and of the ?wrecked bal? loon passengers, works admirably. Oh such matters there can be no difference of opinion, or ot feeling, except in degree; of inteuslty. Has Bismarck lost his cunning, or hus his shrewdness been overrated, that he Insist* so on compacting and strengthening us? Why tell France, more than two months ago, that 'une authority represented by that minister" would bo overthrown by the people ll Paris were not taken in a few days (qvelqv.es jours 70 of them so far *) No doubt he thought lt; but why say lt ? The utterance of the prophe? cy was an appeal to the vanity, pride and good sense of the Parisians to prevent its ful iii meet; had he had held his peace, the manifestation ol' the 5th and the affair ol the 31st of October had been more serious. MONDAY, November 28.-A friend asked me" to liam and cabbage a fortnight ago. An'lhvi tatlou to dinner in these times is more than a compliment. Louis Blanc has let notice be given that he is collecting material and ma liiug studies for a history of Hie siege. C. Blanc has been reappointed to the Beaux Arts, an office lie held under the Republic of 1848, and which has never been so well Ulled since. I am keeping for you clean copies, as fast ns they are published, of the Tuileries Papers. The last two numbera are mainly lilied with telegrams Irom the Pope, Eugenie, ministers, generals, Ac, betweeu Hie opening ol the campaign and the llb of September. Even after .what yon already know of the heedless? ness willi which Hie war was entered on, of the incapaciiy wiih which it was conducted up Io. Sedan, and ol the lying I hat clothed all at willi a garment, these telegrams will surprise you. A seml^mun engaged in the horsecensus told me to-day thai we havo abolit 15,000 edlblo horses; 25,000 if traffic In vehicles I? ylven lip. This ls, of course, exclusive of file cavalry and artillery animals. There is a great movement of troops to-day. Ducrot is lo make a great attempt to-morrow with 150,000 men, if my informant is right. I nm most afraid of the want of discipline of our troops-mere fight? ing courage they don't Jack. THE NEW GERMAN BUND. Its Detailed Constitu? .KU The Berlin correspondent of the London Times gives the following analysis of the Con? stitution of the new German Empire: The Constitution of the North German Con? federacy, as well as that of Mic German Con? federacy by which it is about?to bu superseded, claims military and navai^ljflUlre, as well ai criminal and commercial tifcv, tariff, excise, and some minor subjects, afi'the domain of thc Central Government and Parliament. To these the remodelled constitution adds legis? lation on the right of formirjg^private socie? ties and on the liberty of the -press-an exten? sion which is sure to be further, increased, os, indeed, theliinltanUha ?u&dic?ouhav*na**r been very anxiously observed by the lederal bodies politic. The Government ol Hie Con? federacy ls carried on by a Federal Connell formed by the representatives of the various sovereigns. In voting upon the measure pro? posed by any ot them each representative is accorded a number of votes, supposed to be proportionate to the size and importance ot Hie Slate he sits for. While Hamburg, for in? stance, has one vote, Brunswick has two, Saxony four and Prussia seventeen. In Hie Federal Council, ns it existed up to the pres? ent war, liiere were forty-three votes altoge? ther, of which Prussia herself possessing near? ly half, could always count upon so many, more as made her practically pe.ramount iii Hie Assembly. In the new Council, as lt will bi? aller the entry of the Southern States, though the number ol' votes ls Increased by fifteen, Prussia rctalnB only her lor mer number, and accordingly lias her in? fluence proportionately weakened. Bava? ria possessing six votes, Wurtcniburg four, Saxony four, and Hesse three, will together have as many votes as the presiding power ol' the Confederacy, and by a coalition be always able to neutralize their principal colleague. *If this arrangement seems lo bear an ominous resemblance to the old Bund, in which the va? rious German Slates so effectually neutralized each oilier all that longtime from 1815 to 18Gt5. it ought to be remembered thai Prussia at pre? sent is the only real power In the Confederacy, while formerly there were two-Prussia and Austria-each equally strong, arid equally likely to draw a number of minor{Stalcs after it. Without a hereditary rival to combat her every action, Prussia's ascendancy will be very great in an assembly of minor Stales, even though the influence constitutionally assigned ber may be comparatively small. To secure, however, tho /main points of unity against even the possibility ora change lu The wrung direction, Prussia retains the right siie already possesses of vetoing any modification ol' the military and naval arrange? ments, and, which ls a remarkable progress, acquires the same right with regard io the tariff mid excise. This renders her mistress of Hie Federal ? anees, and, together with her command over Hu; army, ls sure to weld tile various Stales together into a solid whole. By way of counter-concession to lue Southern Slates she has voluntarily divested herself ol her present privilege ul' declaring war lu the name ot Ute Confederacy without the sanction of tho Federal Council. Except in case ot attack by a foreign loe, when she may act without consulting her allies, d?cla? rai ions ol war iu future will proceed, not Irom Prussia, but from the Council that represents tho Deutscher Bund. Two more imporiant concessions have to be recorded. Tliroe fonrths ol'the votes of the. Federal Council, in? stead of two-thirds, as hitherto, will be requir? ed for any alteration In the Constitution-a provision which, as every coming change ls sure to strengthen unity at th: expense ol'the local governments, is clearly in favor of the minor' dynasties. Again, in each of the spe? cial committees of Hie Federal Council, which have lu prepare the laws and superiutend Hie different branches of the administration, four minor Slates, Instead ol'two, as formerly, will bc represented In addition to Prussia. Other points are ol minor importance. Baden, Bavaria, and most probably, also, Wur lombnrg, as ?hey retain the' legislation on the beer and spirit exe se-a matter ol Hie greatest moment lo Hie Southern Ex? chequers, which rely principally upon the crea? ture wants ol' the subject-will nul vote on these points in Hie Federal Council. A privi? leged position hus been accorded to Bavaria in military malters, which leaves her thu exclu? sive organization and direction ol her own army in lime ul peace; Wurteinbiirg, it seems, secures the less considerable exception made in favor of Saxony some '.?mo agu, and, conforming to the Federal laws lu all thin concerns organization, retains thc direction ol her troups lu lime of peace; hut the opposite policy is followed bv Baden, who, not suUntietl willi Hie liiuiliiii Iol' her military sovereignty decreed by the Federal charter, ha.-? concluded a sp?? cial treaty with this government in winch Kim renounces even the financial portion ol' her military business, us well BS Ute right io appoint officers, un I some oilier points of sec? ondary importance constitutionally lelt to the local governments. The Baden army simply becomes embodied willi thu Prussian,' as have so many of Hie other Federal States. By Hie way, the different gradations in tho way in which lliey give up their annies to be com? manded and employed by Prussia, curiously, reflects the degree of Importance belonging io each minor sover?lgn. Proud Bavaria only consents to keep a certain num ber of .troops', and place them-at Prussia's disposal In war; Saxony and .

Pla tu Talk from the Ex-Presldcnt About thc President. A correspondent ol the Cincinnati Commer? cial has visited ex-President Johnson at his home In Greenville, Tenn.,and elicited.from him the following very candid remarks con? cerning General Grant: The intelligent men of the party don't know what to do with Grant. It would gratify them much if he would resign, but he wont. So lar from resigning, he's working and intriguing for a second term. He will never get it. He is no more flt for a President than a goose. He luis got no ability-nothing but a little low cunning. His cunning is of poor sort; lt ls mean cunning. He never had an original idea in his lile. He ls an insignificant little fellow, a bundle of personal piques, petty spites and prejudice. He? is ns selfish us the days are loug. Ile used the highest office in the gift of the people to advance his private ends and those of his family, and Intrigue for a second term. He knows a little something about horses, but has not brains enough to make a first-class horse jockey If turned out to .the business, although thut is about ali he is fit for. If we are lo have a horse Jockey for "Hie hlgnest office in the land, we ought to have a good one. Grant's coming to thc surface ls thc result of an accident; nay, lt ls an accident ol an acci? dent. You may search history from the foundation of the world to the present, and you will not fin.I a case like his-a man who rose solely by the power of accident. In the boiling cauldron of war. the scum rises to the top. In the bubbling off he came up from the bottom, and run off, as scum always will, or we should never have heard of him. By a series of accidents he rose.to the command of the army. He was tile creal ure of a peculiar combination of circumstances. He rose to the lop In the general turmoil and throwing up. The rebellion would have been suppressed without him. He was an incident to the struggle--like a bag gage-wugon, lor example. A baggage-wagon hud a part to perform, bnt without the war sentiment and patriotism in the North. lt could have done nothing. Neither could Grunt. Everything was furnished him that lie wanted. His armies largely outnumbered thc rebels. Every engine of war was placed at h|H disposal. The rebellion went down while ho was in command. If anybody else had been in command at the time, it would have been the same, although the result would most likely have been brought about with less lAOhefHfo. lifo. U'IlrioM?ouQ PHrnpoifn tt?? H perlect massacre. His road was paved with skulls and washed willi blood. His conduce in regard to Hie exchange of prisoners Wis inex? cusable. In his correspondence on the sub? ject, he let one sentence drop which illustrates Iiis character. A ray ol light passing through a crevice will olten light up a whole room. So it Is with the character ol u man. We frequently get a clear Insight Into his heart, as it were, by a single sentence that he may write or speak. He is utterly remorse? less. Objecting to exchanging prisoners with thc rebels because our men in their hands were weak und emaciated, while the rebel prison? ers were strong and able to go right into the army and fight us. f?rani, sir, ls a small man; he Is little every way you take him. He is a bundle of small, contemptible prejudices. He does not rise to Hie diguity of a mad. He lacks courage as well as discrimination. He thinks he ls making tools of certain politicians, when, in truth, they are making n tool of him. But he does not know lt; he ls to be pitied. Before I would go into Grant's Cabinet, either in 1872 ur any other time, I would get me a situation as assistant hog-drover, or, as an old man in the country used to say, I would He a rope around my neck and theu around a tree, aud walk off.

It appears that Higgs told his companion he would drink all the wine he .votild furnish, when the two repaired to the grocery of John Browner, on Richardson street, to curry out the terms of the wager. It appeared, in Hie evidence at the inquest, that when the third bon le was partly emptied, Higgs became drowsy, fell off into a stupor and dropped from his chair, and was laid by the counter, where lie remained until morn? ing, when lie was found in a dying condition. A verdict wus rendered that the deceased came to his death by a loo free indulgence in wine. -M.
