The fullcwiug protest was handed to the speaker to be ente: ed upon the journaV: We, the undersigned, vote "No" upon the bill "relating to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company," and hereby reeord our reasons for so doing. 1st. Because we believe that it is a wilful and deliberate attempt on the part of those tn whose interest the bill was framed to enrich themselves at the expense of the State. 2d. Because tho State has already a lien upon the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company eqna'. in amount to the present value or the road, aud ror the additional $-?,000,000 sought to be ob? tained by the passage of this bill the State will receive no security whatever. 3d. Because the present owners of the road have possessed themselves of all the stock the State owned lu the road at a nominal price, and are now enjoying all the beneflts and advan? tages accruing therefrom-thererore they are not entitled ta any aid or assistance from the State. 4th. Because the effects ef its passage will be to injure the credit of the State abroad, which eveu now ck.es Dot rest upon the most secure and sub? stantial basis, owing, we fear, to the mismanage? ment and cupidity of those to whom the affairs ur State were en trnsted. v ?th. Because we believe it wiH inflict upon the Republican party or the State a degree or censure and reproach not easily borne; lt increases taxa? tion that has already reached a burdensome and oppressive amount; lt reflects severely upon those havtnjr the controlling power In the General As? sembly, and whose duty lt was and ls to pi event the passage or tneee iniquitous and atrocious measures. , . Finally, we most earnestly protest against the means used by the majority of the members or J the House of Representatives to secure the pas Bage of the bill. Under the "previous qnestlon," which was called upon the entire bill, there was no opportunity to discuss, amend or change any of tl e odious provisions which the bill so abun? dar tlv contained.

Exposure of the Mysterious Hand and tile Dark Seance. Our readers remember the visit ol the Davenports and Professor Fay. A correspondent of the Selma Times, writing from Knoxville, gives the following.eatjxwt? of their transactions : %. Dow many of your readers have not seen or heard of the magical feats of this band ol broth? ers. That they are perfection in their business none will deny. That we have in our city a few sharp man all will see from the following : Last Saturday night several young men met In a law office ou Gay street, organized and transacted such business as came- before the -board. The meeting was called for the purpose of procuring two of their number to act as the committee Monday nig- t. Accordingly, the brothers came in town, Ulled the entire city with their singular posters, and ail went as merry as a .marriage bel). Ar night, a large audience greet? ed the brothers. Hoxle's Hall was Ulled to over? flowing. At the proper time, Mr. Fay, one of the performers, advanced to the front of the stage, with a paper containing the names of the com? mittee, and requested them to come forward. Messrs. Beil and Lowery suou made their way through the audience, aud were greeted with tremendous applause as they bowed to*the audi en ce. Ropes were given to these meu; they ex? amined them thoroughly, and then went at their work wlih a vim to tie the brothers light. This being done, they explained to the audience how many knots, Ac, they had made, and, lu their opinion, all was satisfactory. The cabinet doors were closed by Professor Fay, and in eighteen seconds, sounds ii om a violin, guitar ami tam? bourine were heard distinctly by the audience as coming from the cabinet. The doors were opened by the pro? fessor, and tbe vommltite. alter an examination, feund the rope and knots still uni b d. wane closing me door Mr. Beil was struck on Hie shoulder with some unknown object, but Mr. Lowery saw it and instantly went to Mr. Bell's side, whispered to Mr. Bell, who began to go through the same motion. Out came the object. Mr. Lowery spiang bke a cat aud seized the' hand, and wrencbeu if carefully off, throwing it to the audience^ Upon examination lt was found to be a paper masked band, as thin as writing paper, ana fitting so closei v lu the cabinet that lt was impossible to observe lt. lt tvas worker" t>J wiie, perfectly ar. the win or the operator, cheers 4 upon cheers were given fer the committee. The brothers were raging with madness, but con staut calls from thc audience convinced them that they must cither play or pay, and ac? cordingly the cabinet was thrown aside and the dark seance was announced. The pro lessor stated befarthand, ir any tricks were at? tempted he would not proceed with the enter? tainment A tabl9 was brought forward and several musical instruments laid upon it, and the professor and one or the brothers were tied, a quantity of phosphorus was rubbed on a guitar, and the lights were extinguished. Total dark? ness reigned. Presently sweet sounds came from the guitar, and the phosphorus was seen running here and there In the air. All present were thunder-struck. All believed the guitar sail? ing here and there-they might catch the cabi? net trick. While the supposed guitar was swing? ing in the air, one of the audleace, named Brooks, palled from under his coat a dark lantern of Intense power, which he instantly shot on the flying gnltar, and to all present it appeared nothing, only one of the at? taches or the show held a pole six feet long; on the end was nailed a small piece of a flour barrel heading, and phosphorus on the heading. The guitar was laying on the taWe in the same posi? tion, only the phosphorus was not ou it. To de? scribe the scene that fallowed would be folly. Mr. Bell then stated that their cabinet tricks were done bv simply bringing their tied hands over their heads, and then they were almost free to ring bells, throw horns; A-c , 4c. We don't think the brothers will book this etty on their next rout?. _ _ _ WASHINGTON NEWS. T|ie Complexion of the'New Congrats Baron Gerolt Recalled. WASHINGTON, February 27.

The Operatives Suffering ff om the Steaming of the Cotton Mills. The cotton manufacturers of Lancashire. ?England, have become Involved In a serious disa? greement with, their hands, iu consequence of the practice recently adopted or steaming the build? ings. The several processes or ttutton mauulac ture are facilitated by being conducted Ina warm moist atmosphere. The aosence or "long staple" cotton, caused by the war ia the United States, required the use or an iurerior qualin, which, In frosty weather, or when a dry east wind b.ew, waa very difficult, to manip? ulate. By the advice of scientific meu, jets of steam were Injected Into the weaving shells, and the manufacturer found that be cou d not only weave an luierlor quality of cotton, but could aflord to adulterate the cloth by adding to the weight. This method or working did not add to the comfan or the hands, but when the steam was Introduced in moderation, it aided the men In obtaining better wages,- and was endured without couipiatnt in nie hope that when, at the end ot the war, a full supply or good cotton was furnished, the practice woiild cease. This expectation, however, has 'een disappoint ed, and as plain cotton goods, or "calicoes*" are sold m Manchester by a standard of weight, the manufacturers have entered into a violent competition OJ ibis point: In ibis contest for prollt, it ls asserted neither the health nor the comfort of ihe operatives is regarded, and jets ol' steam were thrown Into the rooms so prolosely that the weavers comduot see their neighbors stationed wtihtu a lew feel distance. The clothes or tue men were alsu aaturateu with moisture, and in this condition, at the close or the clay's woik. they were obliged to encounter the rigorous uutuoor atmosphere, AS A natcral connequence, the health of the ope? ratives has aun'ertil, and a hig': rate of mortality from chest dise ises and rheumatism is now re? ported, paitieolarly in the borough, of Blackburn, where the practice principally prevails. The sub? ject has been pre.stnied io the atieuiion o? the' British Governmen', bat no action has been taken. Recently a strike or the weavers occunvd at a laige r.ictory in Blackburn, on the ground that pipes were bein* laid for the purpose or intro? ducing s' earn In the work rooms. ? BLAST FROM JOH BULL. DISRAELI ON THE " ROWDT RHETO? RIC ? OF BROTHER JONATHAN. Tue Fi i -it Gentle Roar from the British Lion. Mr. Disraeii, the English Conservative ?leader, made a speech in the House o' Commons on the 9th, In which, the London Telegraph says, "he sinned most deeply when lie came to the sub? ject of american diplomacy. Mr. Disraeli calls upon us to make known, once for all, that we will not endure such treatment. But again we must point out that ir his words mean anything they mean war." Mr. Disraeli. In the course or his remarks on the address in reply to the speech-from the throne, said: There ls one point connected with America which i cannot refrain from bringing before thc consideration of this House, and that is, lt seems to me the time has come when some notice should be taken by this country of the extraordinary manner in which tue authorities or America com? municate with our government and with the peo people of this country, or with persons or influ? ence with whom they are placed lu communica? tion. The tone or the American government to? wards the government or England ls different j from that used towards the government of any other country. [Uear, hear.] It ls not as I once thought lt was, the rude simplicity of republican mantiers. [Laughter.] Nothing can be more courteous than the government or the United States to the Russian government, and, I have no doubt, to the German government; but If they hare any communication to make to the government of this country, or any cause to give their opinion as to the condnct of the Engl sh people, a tone is adopted aud lan? guage used which lt may b9 ropbearlog not to notice ror a time, but which, ir continued, may lead to consequences not intended, and which ail will deplore. Now, I am not going to dwell upon the wild words or demagogues, who, I suppose, in the Untied states, as in all other countries, are reckless in their expressions. 1 am talking or j per.-ons or authority-or the House or the Repre? sentatives ol the . nation. I will take. lor In? stance, the chief senator-I think the chairman ol thc committee-for roreign affairs ls the chief | man lu the Senate, and only second to the Presi? dent, for he exercises the functions of royalty to a certain'degree. J?o treaty with the United States can, 1 believe, be concluued without hts concurrence. Well, having to deal with us In this very matter of the tlsheries treaty, he com? menced his parliamentary career last year by a vloleut luvedive against the English Government and the English nation, calculated to excite the passions tu the people , of America. Then the President of. the Uuited Slates, the sovereign of America; has recently produced one or the gravest state papers which a person or his ex? alted position could have produced. [Hear, hear.] When the English Government or people are rererred to. Instead of being spoken o f with kindness and respecr, I might use much harsher expresMous to describe the manner tn which our condnct and Interests are treated. What ls the causer lt ls, I think, very fortunate that only recently the Fenian prisoners were sent to Ameri? ca, lt ls a questionable thing to mo whether they ought to have been amnestied. [Cheers.] But as I have said on a former occasion, an am? nesty should always be complete; and if they were lo be ?reed, 1 tblnkThey ought to have been allowed to go to Ireland, Instead or being puton a boat with ?5 In their pocket. [A laugh, and "hear, hear."] The people of America tecc-lved them, in pursuance of the system of alwavs in? sulting this country, with all honor, and by a large majority In the House or Represeutanves decided to treat theta with every possible re? spect. I what to know what ls the rcson why the government and people ol England are treated by the Government or the United States in a dif? ferent manner from that tn Which other coun? tries are treated. The time has come when we Ought to know that. At the. first' blush one would think lt would be Impossible for two nations to be on terms of morcihorongh anU complete understanding. Notwithstand? ing the emigration which the honora? ble gentlemen who seconde ! the address has no? ticed, the Eugll-h character and origin of the set? tlers in these colonies are always aud constantly predominant. They have perhaps improved our language-[laughter]-but they have to a certain extent the same laws and thc same religion. Onr commercial relations are on un Immense scale, and mut nally beneOcial. There ls every clrcum-] stance which ought to uulte two catloua in the boiuts ot real friendship, and yet lt ls Impossible that the government or Hie people or this couutry can be brought lu any public way before the au? thorities or that country wit hom some expression being used or som - course tak n which ls (.mm sive to our honor, lt cannot arise hom thc origi? nal quarrel. The result ot thc or??tunl quarrel was certainly calculated-to leave reeliugs or vin? dictiveness, but not ou the part or Americans. Nor does lt ai i-e from (he course taken during the civil war. Nothing is more unjust or un? true than the statement th.it the cause or the Southern States was taken up by either patty in this country; and with regard to the cbarges so constantly made that the party represented on this side ot the House acted in a party scute with regard to the Southern Con fed eratlou, lt ls utterly untrue. [Cheers.] There were gentlemen, no doubt, on both sides or the House who expressed their opinions and brought forward mi lions, but nothing like a party motion wr.s made. Lord Derby, who was well acquainted with America, from the Hist believed that the Northern Confederation would be successful, amt as regards the one House of Pm ll nient where he was prominent he may bc rall ly assumed to rep re-cut the party sliting on his side. As regards thia House. 1 may, perhaps, claim to be regarded as the r prisent ai i ve, and under no circumstan? ces whatever old 1 sanction any such motion, and ror this reason-1 lelt it was impossible tu .unlt your Interference to the recognition of the Southern States. It would haveTuvolvcd you iu a war with the Northern States, aud of snell a result I would not take the responsibility. [Cheers.] Thc reason ls this: There ls a party In America who certainly do not monopolize inc intelligence, the education, aud the property of thc couutry, and who. I believe, are uot even numerically strong, who attempt to obtain political power and to excite political passion by abusing tngland and its government because they be? lieve they can do it with Impunity. [Cheers.] The very men who do this would be Hu last men to take this course if ?hey thought that Ea-iland would re-ent these Insults. You may sav. il they have no really hostile Intent, ami-it isa mere electioneering game, is ii not belier for us to be forbearing and contemptuous! Well.it is not exactly that The danger ls this: They excite the passions of millions, und some unf-rtuuate thing happens, or something unfor? tunate is said in either couutry ; thtrnre lights up; it is bevond their control, auu the two natious ?rc land d in a war or a comest, which they eau no longer control or prevent. An I. therefore, in my inlud, ir we are to have a commission it will be a go. d opportunity ror us to come to a dear understanding bu that point-that England-own not lit insulte i or Injured lefCA impunity, [cheers] amt although I should look upon il as the darkest honrfnmglife to support or even to counsel In this House a tear leith the United States, the United State* must understand that tee will not pe>-mtt ourselves tn be treated dl?erentty from other countries. [Cheers.] ll once our naval aud mliiary lu.-dltutions we're In that condition which i hope on Thursday, or some early day, we shall (Ind t ey are-[a mugil]-ir omc it ls known that her Majesty's dominions cannot bs ass'lied without beim; deleude:-all this rowdy rhetoric Which is addressed to irresponsible millions,. and, tis.it is supposed, With impunity to our-, selves, will, I believe, cease. JChcers ] Tnat ls the state or nflulis we have to encounter. -Thc amount of the war indemnity in money demanded by Bismarck, as first '.tated at ten milliards of uancs, set some statistical French? man at work calculating, and with astonishing results. He finds that ten thousand wagons would be required to trausport the treasure to Germany, and an expert cashier, would need one hundred years of constant work to count the vast sum. ?supposing it to be in fl ve-: rune pieces, he constructs a girdle tlmt will go nearly twice about Hie earth, and, piling them one on another, shows us a column nearly lour thousand miles high, imagining this column, having its ba-e In Pails, to topple and fall, lour-fllthsof the harnean shower would sirike beyond Berlin-some of it ! ambling over Into Asia.
