VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1883. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A THINGS TS COLUMBIA. THE BL UE RIDGE Flt A ED. Provisions or t?ic Bill or Abominations A Sadly Humorous Burlesque-The Senate Declines to Take Holiday Gagging thc House-The United Breth? ren Again Save Scott. [FRCM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., January 2S. The proceedings to-day have been of no par? ticular importance in either branch of thc General Assembly. The Senate held a brief .session, most of which was taken up with fl 1 buslerlog upon the subject of the proposed as? sumption by tte State of the debts ol the Blue . Bidge Ra'lroa-i ; Company. The senators evl dently looked upon this as a sort or masked j battery, and they confined their attack to | light skirmishing at long range, without much .effort to force a general engagement. The bill had been very quietly Introduced a day or J two ago by the finance committee, under the alluring lille ot a bill to cancel the liability of | the State on the guarantee of the bonds of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, and ll had then been read by Its title only, postponed until Wednesday next, and kept carefully out of j sight, ever since. This moral og, however, the [ -senators found lt lying upon their tables, and reading as follows: A BILL TO CANCEL TOR LIABILITY OF THE STATE ON THE OL'AH ASTEE OF THE BONDS OF THE BLO? RIDGE RAILROAD COMPANY. Wltereas, The State of sonia Carolina has, by and In pursuance of the provisions of an act, ap? proved the 15th day of September, 1S6S, entitled "An act to authorize additional aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company. In sou ti Carolina," ea .dor.-ed a guarantee of the faith and credit of the State upon four millions of dollars of bonds. Is? sued by the Blue Rid {e Railroad Company, com pretending tue "Blue h klee Railroad Company," in ?-ont?i carolina; the "B u- R dge Railroad Com? pany," In Georgia; the "Tennessee River Rail? road Company," la Kurth Carollua; the "Knox? ville and Charleston Rallioad Company," tn Ten? nessee; and the "Pendleton Railroad Company," in south Carolin a, ia order to aid In the speedy .completion of said railroad, whioh t onds are li? able for the debts of said railroad companies; and -" whereas, the present condition of the nuances of I the State and of said companies ls such as to make [ the farther continuance of Bald bonds on the mar? ket un ad visaoie, and a serious Injury to the credit of t e state; and whereas, the existence of the ?said four minions dollars of bonds, soguaran - teed, c eates a large liability upon the state, which the treasury may be required to meet, at unforeseen and inopportune times; and whereas, the liability of the atate, on account of such guar? antee, should be promptly and falthinlly dis Ohaiged; th eic fore, SECTIO-O. Be it enactea. AC. That the State -of South ca r.n ina hereby assumes io pay all debts .and liabilities of the said sever.il railroad companies which constitute the Blae Ridge Rail? road Company, upon the surrender to the State treasurer of the bonis so goaranteed.by he State, in the manner hereinafter directed; And that the debts and liabilities a > assumed shall be ascer? tained by certiflcates of Indebtedness verified by the proper officers of the "blue Ridge Railroad .Company," n Sooth carolina; and no debt or liability shall be paid by the tr usurer unless as? certained by a certificare so verified; and thar, as the said payments are made by the State treas? urer, he i-hall r. quire the company to deliver to him such amount of sata guaranteen bonds as shall be eaual to the amount so paid; and. as econ as all of said debts and liabilities snail have | been paid, the said company shall deliver over to the trea<-u:er the balance of the said four millions of dollars or guaranteed bonds; and that the pay? ment of said certificates of Indebtedness shall be made by 'he State treasurer, from the proceeds ?of the sale of any bonds of the State In his poi session, which are authorized by law. except the bondi known as Bterllng loan bonds; or by the. ?exchange of any such bonds, at market rates, cn payment or such certificates: or frum any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropri? ated, except that t-e treasurer shall pay no moneys, uuder this last clause, so as to Interfere with appropriations made for the current ex- 1 penses of the Stat e government, and 6ucb sales or { exchanges fte State treasurer ls hereby author? ized and empowered to make; and the State t treasurer la also authorize l and directed for said c purposes, ir necessary, to issue bonds of the State, ( -and thc same to sell, or exebange, upon the terms j provided la this ac.

Company, so guaranteed by the State, shall, after j the delivery thereof io the State treasurer, be by ' him cancelled, lu the presence of the presiden t ? f ( the "Blue Rld.-e Railroad Company," in south s Carolina, and In presence of a j Int committee t of the Senate and House of representatives, i to be tor that, purpose appointe1; and , that, the a, id Blue Ridge Railroad Com pany, if lt shall elect so to d >, may con vert, or fund, the said guaranteed bonds [ ?or any part thereof, under any act which has > already passed providing for the conversion of t Sta'esecurities into State bonds, or which may bc \ Jiassed by the General Assembly providing for the 1 nndlogof the bondel debt of the State; and that. If the said company s nal i accept the provisions of , this act, it shall be authotlzed, u* the board of dlr , rectors may desire to change the corporate name { of the company to that of the "Tennessee and 1 South caaolina Railroad C'mpany," and shall have power to extend tts railroad, orto construct branches thereof, to any points or places in this 1 .Store, with all the powers and privileges with 1 which the said company ls now ve-ted by the pro ? visions ot its charter; and the said company shall j also have power to issue bonds, and to secure the i same^by a mortgage, to such an amount, and In ( such manner as the board of directors mar dirct. And t li sales of stock In the Bald Blue Ridge Rall- ' toad Company, In South carolina, and lt J aasocl ate companies formerly held by the State, and sold by the commissioners rt the sinking fund, be, | < and they are hereby, confirmed. The bill came up to-day on a motion by Hr. j f Gaillard to reconsider the postponement until ' 1 Wednesday. This was carried by thirteen to I j six, (the ayes and noes being called on this j t and every step of the filibustering) and im mediately followed by a motion by Slr. Arnim I [ to postpone the matter until to-morrow. This 11 was lost by a vote' of nine to twelve, and the bill was therefore take a up, and debated at some length by Messrs. Card o zo, Stvalln. Arnim and Nash. Mr. Hayes moved to amend bv the addition o? the following section: " "SEC. 2. Provided, however, that the afore-1 l said assumption of payment on the part of the I j -State shall not exoeed the sum of five htm- 11 .dred thousand dollars." Before a vote could be taken upon the | j amendment, however, Mr. Leslie took the field and insisted upon postponement He had but little to .say about the merits of the bill, and indeed made bot few positive state menta of any kind; but he very plainly inti? mated ihat there was a very large cat lo the meal tab, and that among other things that the Republican party could not afford to do, they could not afford to rush through such a measure with such Indecent haste In the pres? ent, condition of the State finances and the public mind. Tbe senator also indulged as usual In a little Orientalism of expression, Bay? ing it wouldn't do to rush this measure through so hunlfdly, even If lhere were something al? luring in tbe prospective-lt was like Dutl lng a man on a Chicago lightning express train, cheeking him through at forty miles an hour, ?nd chalking on his back "C. O. D." He didn't mean anything nt all. he said, by this remrirt; but he thought they had better be de? cent. 1 he public were a 1 fools any way ; they didn't know anything about the mysteries of legislation, and even the Democrats would swindle the dear public II they had a good chance; bat still there were cer? tain hiles that had been laid down to go by that were called fair, and this proposed action was In violation of (hem. There was a way of doing even a wrong thing, but being decent about it, and he "meani. to be de? cent, and thought tbls was the most wonder? ful bill ever Introduced in any Legislature. He was ready to vote lor the substance and prin? ciple of lt, but not in Hs present shape, and not until he understood lt better. It could be -differently expressed without iojnry to the In? troducer of it or his ir ends. If they were to vote to relieve the railroad, relieve lt in toto, and $500,000 as suggested by the amendment offered by the member from Lexington <Hayes) wou'd not meet the Indebtedness of all the roads enumerated In the bill, nod some measure should be first taken to ascertain how much tbe indebtedness was. He would not vote for the bill as it now stood, because he thought it had been sprung In the Senate. There was no on? here to take charge of lt, and he considered the motion to reconsider a bad mistake. Mr. Leslie finally moved to post? pone the matter until Tuesday next, which was carried by a vote of eleven to ten. I am told-that certain members of the lower bouse, thinking that the Senate is having an unfair share of the perils and the prooable profits of Ihis style o? legislation, have pre 4 pared the following bill, which certainly! pares favorably with the above in modesty Justice, and is to be proffered as a substi for the substitute now pending: A BILL TO PROVIDE FOR TH8 ACCtTJl?LATK? FONOS. WJtereas, TheStite orsnaih Carolina ho? and in pursuance ot t he provisions of an aor, proved the 15th day of September, 1868, entl "An Act to authorize ad monal aid io for paupers tn South Carolina, has placed In the a ssion of dive? and mundry persons several Hans of dollars of bonds, stocks and moneys, are Willing to expend their inherited and hone attained wealth and future prospects, to prest the faith and credit of the State, In order to al the speedy devastation of the prosperity and sou i ces of said State, which boods and stocks liable for the debt-, of Bald persons; and wher the present c minion 01 the finances of lie St and of sa d persons ls such as to make the fart continuance of said bonds on the market un v safcle, and a serious Injury to the credit of i peisons;and where s, the existence of the ? several millions of dollars of bonds and fttocki guaranteed creates a large liability upon state, which the treasurer is required to meei fan as money comes into the treasury; t whereas, the state has no rights that they bound to respect: therefore, SECTION l.

And al asles whatsoever, made by any Stat a officer, am all bondi heretofore Issued, are hereby legalize and confirmed. . ' Among the other business transacted by th? Senate was the Introduction by Mr. Smalls o a bill to amend an act entitled an act to es labllsh a quarantine at Georgetown, Charles ton and Hilton Head. Hr. McIntyre introduced the following re solution: Resolved by the Senate, the House of Rep reaeii tat I ves concurring. That a special com mutee of two on the part of the Senate anc - on th" part of the House, be appointed io nqulre and recommend the abolition of all un necessary offices throughout the Sia'e. A motton was mide by Mr. Bose that when he Senate adjourn it stand adjourned to meei )U Monday, at 12 M., but this was lost by s rote of four to twelve, and so the Senate will sit to-morrow, although the members of th? o wer house, with their usual consistency and regard for the public purse, have voted them? selves a holiday. lu executive session the following nomina lons were on tin ned: Donald McQueen as lounty auditor, Kershaw. Trial justices Jharleiton County, E. P. Wall, W. Y. Lovett; iichland County, Isaac H. Coleman; York bounty. Miles Johnson. In the lower house the first subject of in erest was a verbal report by Ur. tt likes, from .he Judiciary committee, asking that that ?ommlttee be discharged from lurther con ilderatlon of the metropolitan poilce bills, ind that all such bills be referred to the mem >ers ol ihe Cnarleston delegation. These re meats were endorsed by Hurley, Hunter and ither Charleston members, with the argument hat this being purely a local matter, it should >e lett to the Charleston members tu dispose >f, and the matter was finally so disposed of, vlih the order that the delegation report on Tuesday next. A very large number of bills were reported ipon by the different committees, favorable eporls being made, among others, upon the fellowing: A bill to incorporate the South Carolina Agricultural College and Mechanic?' Institute. Chis proposes to establish au agricultural col ege In accordance with the intention ot Con? gress in granting the agricultural college land terip to this State, and to devote certain wildings belonging to the University ot South karolina, in Columbia, now unoccupied, to he u?e of the proposed college. A bill In i elation to absconding parents. A bill to alter and amend section 313 of the rode of Procedure. A bill to carry Into effect the provisions of section ll, At tide XIV, < f the Constitution of ,be State ol'South Carolina. A bill to amend an act entitled "An act to provide for the appointment ot trial justices," ipproved February 28, 1870. A bill to amend the 328tb section, title 9, jhapter 2, of au act entitled uAn act to revise, Amplify and abridge the rules, practice, plead ngs and torms of the courts ot this Slate, gen? erally called the Code of Procedure." A bill to reducetall acts, and parts of acts, to letermine and perpetuate the uomestead into jue act, and to amend the same. Mr. Simons, Jrom the Joint committee on the Lunatic Asylum and medical affaira, re? ported : "That they have visited the asylum, ind have had shown to them, through the :ourteay of ihe president of the board of re? gents, the superintendent and his assistants, tne several improvements made since their last visit. In every object of notice tbere is a reminder that the wants and desires ot the un? fortunate patient has been earnestly looked after and cared for. The air of comfort, affect? ed by the cleanliness of the buildings, and the observance of the rule of "a place for every? thing, and everything in its place," the im? provements lu the furniture, the billiard ta? bles, planoB, croquet implements, and the sub? stitution of a bath room lor euch ward, In? stead of one for each building, reminds the observer that everything has been done by the superintendent und his colaborers to make thise within their charge us connon tbie, and as far removed from their llamentable condition as the limited means would permit. The Ural objects of notice that would strike the eye of a visitor, upon entering the old building, are the registers upon the walls, and the furnaces lti ihe ba-e:n< n . These dispense with thesloves and fireplaces,' and concomitant dangers, and effect, at a much less cost of fuel, a thorough heating of the building, which, under a former administration, was much desired, but declar? ed to be impracticable. All these improve? ments, however, redound to the comfort of but one class of patients. The condition of those occupying the wooden buildings we find very Hule Improved. Your committee, lu fact, despair of the condition ot these un? fortunate people being ameliorated uniil the new building is finished, and they are remov? ed from the miserable tenements which they now occupy. Tula, we hope, each member will assist your committee, so far as their duties and powers go, lu accomplishing. The work upon this new building was steadily and satisfactorily carried on whilst the money ap? propriated for the same could be obtained .rom the State treasurer. Dr. Ensor, the effi? cient superintendent, lias the congratulations of each member of the committee for the high degree of success which he has met with lu the conduct of the institut on, and in the per? formance ol those peculiar duties which re? quire the pulsitious ot a kind and sympathetic heart, as well as medical skill and learning." Too report was received as lnlormaliou, and ordered to be printed. General Whipper, from the ways and means committee, reported the general appropriation bill, which makes no provision whatever for the payment of interest on the public debt ot the State. Mr. Saunders gave notice of a bill which, If ? it be one-hall as ungrammatical and opaque I as its title, will bea curiosity ol literature, the i tille being "A bill to prevent all persons hav? ing been convicted in the courts of this State as Ku-Klux Kiana from voting or holdinz auy office of profit and trust under the laws of this Slate." Mr. Maddocks Introduced the following sen? sible resolution: Be it resolved, That on and alter Monday, when this House adjourn*, lt adjourn to meet at eleven o'clock, dally, and adjourn at will. Which was ordered to lie over for a second reading. On motion of Mr. Humbert, the House then allowed itself a holiday until Monday. Next came up one ot the characteristic skir? mishes of the House upon a motion by Mr. Lee to discharge the special committee ap? pointed a few Hays azo to Investigate certain defamatory statements made by me newspa? pers as to the bribery ot certain members, and which resolution, as has been explained, was not BO much intended to "muzzle the press" os to fasten the stigma of bribery, formally and officially, upon me Governor and the sus? pected members. The motion to discharge the committee was carried, of course, (the real ob? ject of the committee having leaked out,) by the united efforts of the "United Brethren" of the House; and now the chairman ol the iate committee and the author of the resolution, Colonel Yocum, threatens to "talk right out In meeting" and tell what he knows himself about these little devices of the common en? emy. All of which forces thc reflection that If Longfellow wena alive, or if his shade could visit Columbia, he would find new provoca? tion for his lines ??If tho red f 1 lyer think he slay, Or ir t he nial i think he be Main, They little know the hidden way I keep, and turu and come again." ^ ' PICKET. SKETCHES IN JAPAN. Letters from a Tounc Cliarlcstonian Residing at Yokohama.-\'o. 3. YOKOHAMA, November IC, 1871. * * * I, in company with young Harris and Mr. Siltetredge, of our office, left here last Saturday afiernoon and were safely housed at what ls called a hotel lu three hours after? wards. The next morning we made a bright and early start, (7 A. M) and drove first to Osaksa, a large and popular temple of the Buddhists. This was disgustingly dirty, (somethlog rare in Japan,) but the temple ls thronged by' crowds of the lowest classes. There you see Idolatry at its height-people worshipping every manner of image. One god has the face rubbed entirely smooth by per? sons1 rnndp. it being believed that he who rubs this will be cured of the itch. Agaio, you see lu a huge wooden column au opening supposed to have been made by a Japanese Sam/on's thumb, and lt is supposed that lnsertiog your own thumb in the aperture will surely give you a portion of Samson's strength. In the temple are hung pictures of all sorts, and any ol these distasteful to the people are freely spit upon. One which I noticed as being particularly ob? scured by ihls refined mixture, represented the blowing up of a steamer, by which many Japanese were lost. Pigeons are unmolested in this abode. In the enclosures attached are theatres, shooting galleries (for bows and ar? rows,) eaUng places, and hist, but not least, the "wax-work" gallery. And here ls a tun? ny thing! The figures called "wax-works" are made ol brown paper. These figures are life siz?, representing men whose heads are heinz cut otf, and meu with heads already cut off; the gods dropplug venison to a starved man; daimlos encountering dragons, and wild beasts ot every description; mermaids Just risen from the sea. and "all sorts of odd and uncomfoi table-looking things." I suppose in all there are fifty or sixty, and the expres? sions and posit ons are so lite-like, that I was startled many times on making a short turu to find a headless mau or something of that sort before me. The next place on our route was Dweno, the chief interest of which !s its being the ground ot' the last fight between the Mikado and the Tycoon. Here formerly Buddhism was in lia glory; and after being pressed and harassed on alt sides, the Tycoon, the upholder of the Buddhist religion, with his few remaining loros, sought to take refuge. The Mikado, who represented the Shintoo faith, here for the first time raised his personal flag, which presents the Mikado as the immediate son of Heaven. With the elevation of tills sacred em? blem the war was at au end: the troops re? fused to fight against lt, and the Tycoon him? self was paralyzed. Disguised as a common soldier (alter having killed one ot his own men and dressed him lu his clothes) he escap? ed. With the overthrow of the Tycoon ended pride, pomp and circumstance of Japan. The grand old pageantry ls gone. It is now em? phatically a land ol progress. Famous old tem? ples and other structures, hundreds and hun? dreds of years old, are being allowed to go to ruin. The old feudal system, which allowed daimlos such immense power and so large a retinue, has been abolished. Formerly a dalmlo only moved when attended by bis thousand or two ot retainers; now the Mikado, whom formerly it was death for a common being to look on, is seen by thousands In the streets of the capital with but four attendants. But to return to Dweno, you still see the marka of the bullets, and the battle around, and the ruins of some splendid old temples still remain. Among these ls a temple where many ol'the early Tycoons are burled, but the allowlog-to-go-to-ruln appearance of every? thing ls mournful lo look at. The govern? ment ls certainly doing wrong In destroying all truces of the Buddhists, for it is undoubted? ly the religion of the people. Sheba was the next pluce our driver was told to go lo, and here, alter a sumptuous "Tiffin," (lunch,) given us by General Capron, (whom I think I have mentioned before,) at which Admiral Rodgers was presen), we sought out the Icr-farmed Temple of Sheba, built centuries ago, and still magnldcetit enough to incline one to the belief that lrom this place the Queen ot Sheba started on her visit to old Solomon. At Sheba the majority of the Tycoons are burled, and the tomb1, or rather altars, (Cor most of them ure beneath the floors of the temples, and all that you can see is an altar highly decorated,) are things I cannot under? take to describe. One out-of-door tomb, how? ever, took my eye as of especial interest at this time. In an enclosure of about twenty feet square, with massive bronze gates and bronze fencing, ls a bronze uro of immense size, put up at the expense of Hie King ot Corea in memory of the Tycoon who conquer? ed that country. I will, however, not exouuBt you with my descriptions in one letter, but re? turn to my trip to Yeddo In my next. When I commenced this letter I felt as If I could have filled twenty pages, but I do not hold the pen of a ready writer. If I ever get a chance or talking to you again, you will' hear every? thing. I live in the hope that the lime ia not far distant when I eau see you, and personally rc'ate to you the many things I EO imperfectly describe. Yours, &c, R. B. H. CINCINNATI AND THE SOUTH.

Tomi in son-T h c Shooting Emphati? cally Justified by Ills Northern Friends-Opinions of the Press. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, January 24. The belligerent Mr. Greeley has several fresh fights on his hands, the quarrel with Grant and Murphy not being enough to con? tent bis maitial soul. Let the Time?, or any other organ of the President, cast a brick af any Fenton Republican in the State, and straightway Horace leaps into the arena in the attitude of defence. Mr. Alvord, of the Legislature, commonly known as the "Onon? daga Giant," was accused by the President's organ of being concerned In a Job to rob the city by selling gravel to the Central Park com? missioners. Aa .Alvord ls the leader of the Fenton party In the Assembly, the animus of the charge is uuderstood, and the entire anti odmlnlslraiion faction is in battle array. On the other hand, Mr. Greeley has accused two Conkling State senators and the Conklingite "clerk of the senate with Jobbery and rascality. One of the senators has called for an Investi? gation committee. Of cours? these charges and counter charges against prominent men on either side do not tend io narrow (he breach in the Republican pany In ihe Stat". The bitterness ls so s'.rong that it seems entirely impossible that any con? siderable propon ion of tne friends of Senator Fenton and Mr. Greeley can support Grant tor President after he is nominated. The Are of the Tribune is almost wholly directed against Murphy and the customhouse thieves, and Conkling and his allies in the State. A pre? tence 1s made ol abstaining lrom personal at? tacks on the President, but he is constantly blt by insinuai loo and very iranspare ct suire. The sing-sowr about protection has almost ceased. The Democrats are treated with more politeness than they have ever befored receiv? ed from the Tribune. It is evident Mr. Greeley regards a customhouse Republican as a much more corrupt and dangerous being than a Democrat. The Investigation by the senatorial commit? tee Into the frauds of Grant's customhouse officials loses none of Its Interest, and contin? ues to fill the administraiionUtj with dismay. Colonel Leer, the staff officer to whom the President required Collector Grlnnell to give the general or*cr plunder, and with whom, lt ls suspected, he has divided, has been on Ihe stand, and suffered crucifixion at the hands of Bayard and Casserly. Tnough he came prop? erly primed to conceal some things, deny some point plank, and explain away others, he was ?o thoroughly silted by the minority of the inquisition that Ihe whole truth came out. A more audacious conspiracy to rob and black? mail the merchants of any city by means of government terrorism was never conceived. There arc a large number ot witnesses yet to be examl tied, and the committee m cy have to sit a month longer. The administration senators would adjourn at once, but they are afraid of public opinion. The venerable chair? man, Mr. Buckingham, sits out the sessionT with commendable pal lenee, and asks but few11 questions. Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, is the counsel for the defence, but the long continu? ance ol th<s Investigation and Its unpleasant developments have soured his temper, and he is frequently cross and obstinate. Stewart, from lue Pacific coast, alternates between the hotel bar and his easy chair In the committee room, and strelched out in the latter, slroklng his long whisker?, he looks the picture of a man bured a'most to death. Big Pratt, of In? diana, likewise resembles one of Fox s mar? tyrs. Bayard and Casserly sit at the tablelike men thoroughly In earnest..IThey watch every shade of the game, take notes Industriously, cross-examine closely, and score points every lime. Behind Senator Howe sit most of the lime Surveyor Wakeman and several custom? house onida's and a lawyer dubbed by the Tribune "Decoy" Bliss, who ply him with whispered suggestions. Any one going into the room can see that the administration is on trial, and (hat the Republican senators and their hangers on so regard lr. Rev. Mi-. Hepworth has succeeded in found? ing hU new sec', which is to overcome secta? rianism. At lils business meeting, the other n'ght, he received the adhesion of one hun? dred and fifty families. He announces the new religion as the "Church of the Disciples." Hepworth may be all right, but he ls getting the reputation here ana in B iston, where he came from, of being a sensationalist. As he ls eloquent and energetic doubtless his new churcn will become one of the features of the metropolis, and In lime he may divide honors with Mr. Beecher. i We are to have a TichbDrne case or our own, ((hough may Heaven forbid that lt lasts as lODg.) George Washington Bowen, a Rhode Island gentleman of wealth, aged seventy seven years, has begun a suit in the United Slates Circuit Court In this city, to cet posses? sion ol the enormous property of the late Madame Jumel. The madame, lt will be re- . membered, was a woman of bad character. < who, by means of her beauty and wit, became tho wife of M. Jumel, a wean hy Frenchman ot this city, and a belle at the opuns of the Pres? idents ot the United States and the contera porary monarch ot France. She married i Aaron Burr in after life, and died seven years ago in a palace at Washington Heights, rich, feeble, solitary and miserable. Bowen claims : to be her llle?ltimaie eon, by a revoluiionary i officer, a Msjor Ballon. He brings the suit on i the strength of a late New York statute, allow? ing Illegitimate children to Inherit from their ; molders both real aud pereonal property, i The Jumel estate ls worth probably five mil- 1 lions of dollars, and the case, which waB open? ed by Chauncey Shaffer for the plaintiff yes- i terday, promises to be rich wllh scandal. Mr. Buweu ls pres-ent, and bears a strlklnt; resem- i biance to the portraits of General Washington, i with whom the vain, lying old woman use to i boast of great intimacy. Tue intelligence of the affair in Columbia, i in which Mr. Tomllnsou of Tue NEWS shot a member of the Legislature who attempted lo cowhide him, was received with regret herc, of course on Mr. Tomllnson's account. The World alludes editorially to lt to day, and fully expresses the leellngs of Mr. Tomllnson's hosts of friends lu New York. It says : "The fact- at hand are not lull enough to enable us to form au accurate Judgment upon the tragedy in Columbia yesterday. But lt ls bare Justice to say that Mr. Tomllneon is knowu in ihe office of this Journal, as well as In other newspaper offices In this city, as a re? markably careful and trustworthy writer, and also as a perfectly peaceful and civil gentle? man, whom nobody who knows hkn would suspect either ol' making misstatements or of seeking quarre's. The Hiroug presumption from his character ls that whaiever state? ments he may have made In the line of his duly us a newspaper correspondent regarding the procedures ot Byas were well founded, und that, the shooting of Byas was Btrlctly an an act of self-defence." ^ The Brooklyn Eagle, the leading Journal of the city lu which Mr. Tomlinson lormerly re? sided, had the following editorial paragraph this afternoon: "A negro legislator, Byas by name, under? took in Columbia yesterday to cowhide Mr. B. W. TomlinsoD, very recently of Brooklyn, and now the city ed tor of the CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS. The castigation was brought to a sudden termination, and the doctors state that Byas cannot recover. It ls quite evident Tomltnscm acted In self defence. In spile of weak eyes and spectacles, he seems to have proved a first class shot, and has done Soutji Carolina more service than the Legislature to which Byas, Whiiiemore, Boweu and Leslie belong has ever done siuce its organization. Mr. Tomlinson ls well known In Brooklyn as a very inoffensive, amiable person, a faithful and conscieuiious reporter, andaman who served throughout the war with Intelligeuce and bravery." I can also bear lesiimony to Mr. Tomlinson's conscientiousness and kindly nature. His fel? low Boldiets, who served with him lu the Fed? eral army during the war, speak in the high? est terms ol him as an offlct-r and gentleman, and mauy of them have come to me lo-day to say that they would have done Just as he did under the circumstances, and-to ask that I should say so for them, NTM .

JUDGE C F. TOWNSEND. An Interesting; Biographical Sketch. We condense from the Marlboro' Times the following biographical sketch of the Hon. C. P. Townsend, whom the General Assembly have elected Judge of the Fourth Circuit: The Hon. Charles Pinckney Townsend, judge elect of the Fourth Circuit, is a native of Marlboro' County, and ls thirty-eight years of | age. He was prepared for college In his na? tive county, and alter pursuing a lull course ol studies at the South Carolina College, grad? uated there in 1854 with third appointment He read law in the office of S. J. Townsend, Esq.. and was admitted to practice, at Colum? bia, In 1857. He was elected to represent Marl? boro' in the Stale L?gislature In 1858, and serv? ed a term ifl^hat body Just bet?re the State se? ceded, when he voluateered tn one of the Qrst companies raised in Marlboro', and was elected first lieutenant ol Company G, Eighth Regiment, S. C. V., and continued to serve aa an officer in the Confederate army until tb? close of the war, having been promoted lo the rank of captain In Hie spring of 1862. He was again elected to represent Marlboro' In thc Legislature in the fall of 1862, and served another term In that body. Resuming the practice of his profession arter the war ended, ne was soon elected commissioner In equity for Marlboro' District, and discharged the du? lles of that office for a lull term with great abil? ity.

In other respects he ls admirably qualified for the position.

The Plana and Prospecta of Colonel Tom Scott and his Pennsylvania Combi nation. The New York Bulletin has a notable edito? rial apropos of the purchase of the Memphis and Charleston Eallroad by a syndicate of Northern capitalists. It treats the move as but a step in the gigantic endeavor to consol!-J date the great trunk lines of our section, and: thus to acquire the substantial control of the trade of the South and Southwest, and of the new Southern Pacific Eallroad as well. The Bulletin says : Although, the newly consolidated Southern lines will be operated in connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad, yet that powerful cor roration does not directly Agare inihe nego? tiations. The acquisitions have been made in the name [of the Southern Ballway Security Company, which Is now, for the first time, brought prominently before the public. This company ls composed of wealthy capitalists in this city. Philadelphia, the Southern States, and in England. The company ls strong from the amount of capital and the influences that are represented by Its members, rather than for the actual amount of stock. . The capital stock is ODly $5,000.000, but the holders repre? sent hundreds of millions of dollars. We no? tice among the New York stockholders the names of W. E. Dodge, Jr., Morris B. Jessup, J. A. Stuart. Schuchart & Son, W. and J. L. Aspinwall. B. L. Ken? nedy, and J. D. Phelps. . The other names are, Thomas A. Seoir, George W. Harri?, George Small and J. D. Cameron,'of Penn? sylvania; Messrs. Newcomer. Shoemaker and Wallers, of Ballimore, and C. M. McSh?e, of Tennessee, and HeDry B. Plant, of Georgia. There are also several English capitalists. The apparent capital of the company seems inade? quate and disproportionate to the obligations recently assumed hy it and others still in con? templation. But the newly acquired lines are in a condition that require adequate business management and credit rather than actual out? lays of money to raise them to a paying point, and these conditions are ail combined In the Southern Raliway Security Company, ?he re? lations of the Security Company with thWPenn^ sylvania Railroad Company are of a character to advance their mutual interests. The connec? tion of Colonel Scott with both companies will at least promote a common policy, which, lt ls to be hoped, will operate advantageously to tlie public. JOTTINGS ABOUT THE STATE -Miss Jane Cameron, of Greenville, was ac? cidentally burned to death on Tnnrsday. -Clarendon County has paid in $14,000 in taxes since January 1st. ? -A detachment o? United States cavalry visited Clinton, and made strict search for Mr. Copeland whom they did not find. ; -A colored boy named Walker Gibbs, aged about eighteen years, accidentan/" shot him? self io Aiken on Monday last, and died an hour or two afterwards from the effects of the wound. -The cooper-shop of A. Morgan, In George? town, was sot on fire on Sunday week by an Incendiary. No serious barm done. One other Incendiary fire (without heavy damage) ls re? ported. -A den of the United Brethren was organ? ized at Chester last Monday evening. A yel? low school teacher, named Richardson, ts chief ot the klan, and Peter Agurs, secretary. This is a branch of the Scott Ku-Klux recently organized in Columbia in the Interest of the present administration. -Ou Friday last, an old difficulty waB re? newed between two colored men, on ihe prem? ises of Mr. J. S. Gulgnard, In Lexington, when one of them, named West Prince, was killed by anotner, named Noah Gulgnard-the cause of death being a blow from a stick, by which the neck was broken. Noah was employed by Mr. Gulgnard, and West was engaged on the enlargement of the canal. -There are plenty ot signs that Greenville ls Improving. Various buildings are being erected and completed, old ones are being re? paired, and plans lor the erection ot new ones are belog discussed. The population Is al-o evidently Increasing, and, although the ad? vance towards Improvement is not very rapid nor assuming gigantic proportions, yet it is so manifest as to attract the attention of soy who have their eyes open when they walk about. lioatettcr's Sitters. "^r^BAUDULENT MISBEPBESENT?- j TION?.-Among the pernicious frauds of the i pei lcd there ls one which especially deserves the i reprehension of all who place a proper value on i health and life. Ihe swindle referred to consls s in the attempts of Irresponsible parties, in differ? ent sections of tbe United States; to force upon the market vile astringent compounds manufac? tured out or damaged or worthless drugs and ref ase liquor, as preparalons possessing the rate < medicinal virtues of the mest popular and efflca ; clous of all vegetable tonics and alteratives-HOS- i TETTtR'S STOMACH BITTERS. 9 i Tho concoctera of these '-local bitters" are, in ' the trn.s: aence of the phrase, public enemies. I Their fiery potions Inflame the stomachs, stupefy i the brains and shatter the nerves of those who are unwise enough to accept them as Substitutes i for . thc famous Vegetable lnvlgorant, that for twenty years has been known throughout the ! Western Hemisphere as a s'andard article. J The fame of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS as a health-preserving, vitalizing medicine, ls as wide | as tho world, and the miserable attempts of needy nostrum mongers to supplant lt would be treated with silent contempt, were lt not that 9 rio us consequences [sometimes follow the use ] of the nefarious compounds in question. Who? ever recommends any cf themas remedies for Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Constipation, Intermit- ' tent Fever, Rheumatism, or any other complaint for which HOSTETTER'S BITTERS ls a known BpeclQc, ls guilty of a moral, If not a legal mlsde- i mtauor.

In everything In which the articles now in use are objectionable, CRYSTAL DISCOVERY ls perfect. It ls warranted to contain neither Sirgar of Lead, Sulphur or Nitrate of Sliver, lt does not soil tie clothes or scalp, ls agreeably perfumed, and makes one of the b.st dressings for the Hair In use. lt restores the color of the Hair "more per? fect and uniformly than any other preparation," and always does so In from three to ten days, virtually feeding the rjots of the Hair with au the nourishing qualities necessary to Its g owth and healthy condition; lt restores the decayed and Induces a new growth of the Hair more posi? tively than any tiling else. The application of this won tcrful discovery also produces a pleasant and cooling effect on the scalp and gives the Hair a pleasing and elegant appearance.
