[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, February 1. 'Still another Metropolitan police bill ! One measure of this kind, drawn up by Hend? ricks and engineered by Jones, lias already been killed by the Judiciary commute; another one, Introduced by Hedges, bas found a grave In the pigeon-holes of the special committee composed ot the Charleston members, and new a third one, and apparently the worst of the lot, has been introduced by Bowen, and was received In (he House this morning with a favorable report from a majority ot the ?pedal committee. This latest device of the enemy proposes to put the city and county o? Charleston into the hands of a sort of custom? house triumvirate, who are clothed with the most extraordinary powers, and who are to immediately possess themselves of a large share of the city's real estate, to summarily abolish the recorder of Charleston, all the trial Justices In Charleston City; to supercede the Jftryor and Aldermen in the exercise of at least one Important function of their offices, and even to extend their operations at will to any section of the Stale. The bill is entitled, like its unfortunate predecessors, UA bill to es? tablish a metropolitan police district, and to provide for the government of the same," and Its principal provisions are as follows: It constitutes the ?ounty of Charleston a metropolitan police district-, and appoinis Messrs. R. B. Artson, Aaron Logan and H. C. Ml nott a board of police commissioners, at an annual salary of $1200 each, for the govern ment thereof, to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Any vacancies frring'ln this board are to be filled by the ining members. At the next general lon h -ld in the County of Charleston, and ery subsequent general election, a new 1 of three police commissioners ls to be " elected by the people, the said commissioners to hold office lor the term of two years, and until their successors shall be elected and qualified. These commissioners are prohibit? ed from holding any other public office, and their acceptance of any such office, or of any nomination thereto, shall be taken as a resig? nation of the office of police commissioner. ""The commissioners may be removed by the Governor for cause, lu the same way as ls now provided by statute for the removal of county -officer?, and in case of removal the vacancy shall be flited by the remaining members, un? less the whole board be removed, in which ?case the Governor shall order a special elec? tion within twenty days of such removal, and the commissioners elected at such special ? election shall hold their office until the next * general elecilon, and until their successors are qualified. The commissioners are authorized to appoint* . One superintendent of police, salary.. .$ 1,500 One clerk, (who shall also be the clerk of ihe police court,). 1,200 T wotfeutenants at $1,200. 2.400 Four sergeants at $720. 2.880 Eighty patrolmen at $600 . 48,000 Six watchmen at $600 . 3,600 Four gatekeepers at $480. 1,920 One hostler. 480 The salaries of the other officers author? ized by the bill are as follows : Three commissioners at $1.200. 3,600 Tnree police Justices at $1,800. 5,400 ? One chief of detect Ives. 1,200 Four detective officers at $720. 2.880 Making a total of. $75,060 The bill provides further that members of the metropolitan police force shall possess in' every part of the State all the csmmon law and statutory powers ot constables, except in the service of civil processe.--, and the officers of the force are expressly authorized to exer? cise their powers on any'vessel upon the coast of South Carolina. The commissioners are ' empowered, upon the*appllcalion of persons desiring"!he services of special patrolmen, to appoint as many such patrolmen as they pleace. they belog paid by the persons desir? ing their services, and at the same rate as . oiher members ot the force. They are also authorized In case ol .riot or pestilence, or duri n e any day of public election or celebra? tion, or upon any emergency, to appoint any necessary number of special policemen, who -are to be paid for the lime employed. A Po r9jke Court ls created, with three police justices ?- ar an annual salary of eighteen hundred dol? lars each, to be elected by the Legislature sit? ting in Joint assembly, and lo have Jurisdic? tion over all cases arising under the city or? dinances' and the paine Jurisdiction as ls now possessed by trial Justices. The office of re? corder ls abolished; and lt is provided "that all trial Justices now appointed, or that may hereafter be appoApted for the County of Charleston, are hereby prohibited from exercising any Jurisdiction within the corporate limits ot the City of Charleston.*1 Another section creates a metropolitan detec? tive force, to be appointed by ihe commission? ers and superintendent of police, and to con? sist of one chief detective at twelve hundred dollars salary, and four detective officers at an annual salary of seven hundred and twenty dollars each. The commissioners are author? ized *i demand, and the Mayor of Charleston Is required to deliver, all arms, equipments, * horses, quarters, station-houses and other property of the present police foret?, and the .commissioners are empowered to purchase alljadditlonal arms, Ac, that may be required, and to build, purchase or rent such buildings .as are needed to carry out the provisions of the act. This precious production was reported favo? rably by Jervey us the chairman of the special .committee, and he moved that its considera? tion be postponed and made the special order /br Monday next at 1.30 P. M. This brought the United Brethren to the iront, headed by .Jamison, wbo, as usual, "hoped not," and moved instead to make lt the special order (or Friday at 2 P. M. He wanted to put the thing through, and didn't see the use of delaying. ?Jervey replied that the bill was an Important one that demanded the careful attention of .every member; lt had not yet been printed, aadmore lime was needed tor its considera *J8P by the members. Jones thought that 'tipall moonshine; the members knew all about the bill, it had been published In all the newspapers, and attacked and argued for a month. He wanted to see something done, p and he moved the previous question on the motion by Jamison. This ?rave Jervey an hour, and he parcelled out the time among Hurley, Bowley and others. Hurley thought It was a very remarkable interest tbat the members from Orangebur?r and Georgetown were taking in the Charleston matter, lt was like the Interest the Heathan Chinee once felt In the missionary-he wanted to slay him. Jamison. Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of privilege. Hurley. Well, never mind, PH take it all back, and will call him l he missionary. Now, this measure has been committed to the Charleston delegation, because they were eighteen of the most honest men ibat could be elected In Charleston. Jamison. Oh, I don't see it. Hurley. Well, I don't wonder that the country members don't see it. They never lived lu Charleston, and don't know the terri? ble temptations that an honest man ls subject? ed to there. I now ask as an ad ot justice to those eighteen honest meo, that the mai ter I go over to Monday, when they can all be here 1 to vote upon lt. One of them has got to go to Charleston to-morrow, to reduce the Demo? cratic minority by two, on a board he belongs to. Another one ls going down to-night, be- ? cause he heard the sheriff was coming for him, ani he wants to meet bim halt way, I SUD pose. Here, Jamison came over, and whispered to Hurley, "Let the bill come up to-morrow." Hurley replied, also, sotto voce, "Oh no, I won't do lt." The speaker objeded to this side show, and Hurley quite turned the tables on the little man, by saying, "Well, Mr. Speaker, when a man comes to me right I here, when I am making a speech, and asks me to lend him ten dollars, I dou't want to hurt his feelings by saying out loud, that I won't do ll." This raised a little laugh, and doubtless did as much to defeat tue little Oi-.Jgeman as an hour's serious argument could have done. After further arguments from Bowley. Elliott, Henderson and others, all in favor of postponement, the matter was finallv set down for discussion on Monday at 2 P. il. Previous to this debate in the Home, ihe Ju? diciary committee reported favorably on the bill requiring juries lc criminal cases to be kept together aud to be kept ia the charge of the sheriffs until they have rendered their verdicts, and prescribing a penalty for ihe vio? lation of ihe act of a flue of not less than filly dollars or more than three hundred 'ollars and Imprisonment lor not more th three months. Also, upon the bill to authorize aliens to acquire, hold and dispose of real and personal property In the same manner In all respects as natural born citizens. The same committee reported unfavorably upon (be bill to df fine and regulate the Juris? diction of the Police Court of Charleston, which bill provides for a Police Court to be held by the recorder of the city instead of the Mayor, or, in the absence of the recorder, by one ol the aldermen or by a trial Justice, to be designated by the Mayor. Upon the call of counties the following bills, Ac, were Introduced: By Mr. Levy, a bill to Incorporate the Deutsche Bruderliche Bund, of Charleston; bill to renew the charter of the Hope Steam Fire Engine Company, of Charleston; and no-1 tice of a bill to Incorporate the South Carolina Real Estate, Mining and Manufacturing Com-1 pany. By Mr. Yocum, a bill to protect the people of the State of Sooth Carolina against illegal fraudulent issues ot bonds and securities. This bill recites that there have been illegal issues of | bonds, and that nobody knows the extent or ?amoum of such issues, and, therefore, pro? vides for another joint special financial inves? tigating committee, to consist of one from the Senate and two (rom the House, to examine and report as to which bonds are Ilegal and which are genuine. The committee to sit In Charleston for not more than sixty days, be? ginnlog March 1, 1872, to have authority to send lor personB apd papers, and to advertise their meeting in the papers of Charleston. Columbia, New York and Washington. All persons holding bonds of the State are to re? port all about tne same to this new inquisi? tion before May 1, 1872, and a failure to make such report shall be deemed prima facie evi? dence ot the* illegality of such bonds. The treasurer is prohibited from paying the Inter? est on any bonds until the report of this com? mittee be received, but he ls carefully in? structed to pay all the expenses of the com-, m lt tee. By Mr. Cousarr, a bill to restrain iherlffs from selling certain county property under executions against the county. This measure seeks to exempt the county poorhouses and Jails from sale under executions ior debt. By Mr. Singleton, notice of a bill to relieve the State ol' all liability for its guarantee of | the bonds of the Blue Ridge Rai'road Compa? ny, by providing for the securing and destruc? tion of the same. This looks like an effort to put money In circulation, and really the effort seems lo be needed, in view ol' tho notice that Treasurer Parker has placarded In his office that "no legislative expenses will be paid until the appropriation bill has passed." In the Senate there was little business of | any importance transacted. The war of yes? terday upon Mr. Whlitemore's bill to provide for the registry of State securities was renew? ed, and waged with much ferocity and bitter? ness, pilnclpally between the author of the bill and tbe senator lrom Barnwell. The mat? ter was finally postponed to Wednesday next. Mr. Smalls reported, as might have been expected, that more time was needed by the phosphate committee to complete their odor? iferous researches, and an indefinite exten? sion was accordingly granted. Mr. Nash introduced a bill to Incorporate the Traction Steam Engine Company, of Co? lumbia, and Mr. Wblttemore introduced another bill to amend the election law, by providing for the immediate canvass ol the votes at the cloie of the polls, but containing no provision for minority representation upon the boards of managet s. PICKET. THE NEW ORLEANS EMEROO LIO. NEW OULEAXS, February 2. Packard was before the congressional com? mittee for nearly four hours, and preferred a series ot charges against Warmoth, swearing that he believed them to be true. They em? brace allegations that the Governor is culby of bribery and corruption lu office, and bus used the registration and election laws In his own interests to return such men as he wished. He is also charged with corrupting the mem? bers of the Legislature by biibery. A lier, of | witnesses was attached tb each of the thir? teen allegations. 4 THE KING'S MOUNTAIN RAILROAD. The annual meeting of the stockholders of | this company was held in Yor?ville on Friday. The question came up for consideration as to whether the railroad should be sold at Charleston as advertised by the trustees of | the bondholders, or elsewhere. After discus? sion, it was decided to make no change in the time or place of the sale. . Colonel William Johnson submitted the fol? lowing, which was seconded and unanimously adopted : " Whereas, The King's Mountain Railroad, including all Its righi", easements and prop? el ty, has been advertised by Theodore D. Wagner and Asbury Coward, trustees named in the mortgage executed ou the 15ih day of March, 1866; and whereas, some doubts have arisen as to the sale under the mortgage afore? said conveying the chartered rights and frau chises-of said company to the purchaser; now, therelore, In order to enhance the value of the property, and increase the price thereor for the benefit o? the stockholders, the said trus? tees ore hereby authorized and Instructed to convey by deed to the purchaser, at said trust sale, all the chartered rights, franchises aud privileges conferred upon the company by the various chat ti rs granted to them by the Leg? islature ot South Carolina, and also all real and personal estate belonging io said company, and not embraced In said mortgage deed." General Law submitted the following rose- I lotion, which was seconded and unanimously adopted: Resolved. That Colonel A. Coward be and he ls hereby authorized to receive and dis? burse to the stockholders all proceeds of sale of the King's Mountain Railroad, after the satisfaction of the mortgage debt on said road and expenses of sale, and payment of all lia? bilities of said road, and that he be allowed a reasonable compensation therefor. Colonel William Johnson submitted the fol? lowing resolution, which was seconded and unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the trustees, after paying the debts secured in the mortgage and ex? penses of sale, be authorized to give ihe pur? chaser sixty day s' time on the balance, with interest at the rate ot seven per cent., and that they execute ii'le and deliver possession of the road, with all its franchises and prop? erly, when the balance la paid. On motion, the president and old board of directors were re-elected by acclamation. SIC SEMPER TTBANKE. AN ELOQUENT VINDICATION OF THE OLD DOMINION. Hoar, of Massachusetts, Attacks the House-He ls Diet and Overcome by a Sturdy Virginian. WASHINGTON', February 2. lathe House the petition ot the Pennsylva? nia Iron-workers against any reduction of the tariff, and of the St. Louis merchants' petition against the Chicago relief bill, were present? ed. The latter urged that lt would unsettle values, open the door to fraud, and impose upon a few the burden which should be borne by all. The Indian appropriation bill passed. The hostile IndlanB get nothing, and deduc? tions are ordered for depredations. Mr. Crltcher, of Virginia, then took the floor, and directed his remarks to what Hoar had said as to the illiteracy of Virginia and other Southern Slates. He would challenge the whole State of Massachusetts to produce as many elevated, Intelligent and patriotic men as he could name from a single place in bis own district. In the neighborhood of his own plantation was the birthplace of Wash? ington. Not far from that was Sirattord, the residence of "White Horse" Harry Lee. Near there was Chantilly, the residence ot Richard Henry Lee, Ihe mover of the Declaration of Independence, and the Cicero of America. In the same neighborhood were the residences of Charles Lee, Washington's attorney-general; Arthur Lee, the accomplished negotiator of the treaty between the colonies and France; and the birth-places of Monroe. Jefferson and Robert E. Lee. He challenged Hoar lo find euch Illustrations of mental vigor in his own State. Hoar, badgered to desperation on all sides, allowed himself to say that he had not criticised either the intelligence or Ute ele? gance of the educated tyrants of wbom.Crltcher had spoken. He hal- alluded to a generation of men who whipped women, begot little children and sold them into slavery, and then repelled the Institutions which they had assist? ed to establish. No action. There ls a ses* alon to-morrow for debate only. A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY. LEXIXGTOV, Kr., February 2.

Thiers, In conversation with General Bil loff, Bald: "I am sincerely In favor of a mod? ?rale Republic, and have long thought lt possible, but I now see I was m s ulken, and a Republic can't exist even with my aid. I am compelled to seek ihe happiness ol the coun? try elsewhere." John Bull Growling about the Treaty A Massacre at Ismail. LONDON, February 2. Discussion of the Alabama claims becomes more vehement as the a sembllngot Parlia? ment approaches. All the organs of public opinion teem with hostile comment. Tue Ad? vertiser says that Chief Justice Cockburn will withdraw irom the board, and the government1 will repudiate the treaty. Thu repudlatlou of the Treaty of Ghent by the Uulted States ls cited as a precedent. CONS TANTINOPLE, February 2. A barbarous attack has been made on the Jews in Ismail on the Suez Canal.

JUSTICE WITHOUT MERCY. The Sentences of thc Ku-Klux Pris? oners. [From the Rock-HIll Lantern.] The lite ol the law is the execution. Has Justice been executed la mercy ? Take the case of Samuel G. Brown. He is an old man, now more than sixty years of age. He came Into court and admitted he was a member of a secret organization. He had never been upon a raid. During a long life be has main? tained the character of an honest man, a vir? tuous, kind, good citizen. The joining ol this organization was his first and only offence: lt was of no avail. He was seutenced lo five years In Albany prison, and one thousand dol? lars fine. His doom seemed lo be the heavier In consequence of his previous eood charac? ter-If tue sentence had been for life Instead or five years, lt woald probably have added no day to his Imprisonment. "ir he may find mercy la the law. 'tis lils; ir none, :et him not seek lt of us." As little mercy was Bhown In the case of John W. Mitchell. According to the evidence adduced in court, he Joined the Kim in De? cember, '70, and left it In the following Febru? ary, because, In his own language, he thought it was wrong. He was appointed chief; but never issued an order, and prevented his Klan on two occasions from going on raids. Her re? ceived the like doom ol' five years' Imprison? ment and one thousand dollars fine. Perhaps if we were to mention that he was a captain, and a gallant one, in the Army ot Northern Virginia, lt might account lor the extreme rigor ot the sentence. It was simply fero? cious. BOTTLING TTP CHARLESTON. The Rumored Movement of the Geor? gia Central ttatlroad to Obtain Con. t roi or the Son tn Carolina Knjjrou d. The ^'lowing letter Is printed In the Colum? bus Sun or January 31: AUGUSTA, GA., January 27. Captain W. D. Okipley: DEAR SIR-I can searcely say that no over? tures have been made to control the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, but can say that no proposition of that kind has been seriously entertained or contemplated by the authori? ties of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad Company. So far as they have considered, propositions from other Interests have not contemplated any exclusive control, but only business privileges lo common. We have no uolriendly feellnz toward the Central Railroad Company, or the interests connected with lt, but I am certain in the opinion that no dispo? sition of the Allanta and West Point Railroad is likely to be made that would interfere with a fair business connection with your road at LaGrange, when your road reaches that point. I scarcely know what to believe now-a-days In the shape of railroad sensational rumors, but am decidedly ot opinion that the late rumors about the control of the South Caro? lina Road ls all bosh I So I am lnlormed by those who ought to know. Tours, Ac., JOHN P. KINO. The Augusta Chronicle reprints the letter, and says: The care with which Several Important ex? pressions (in thc letter) are Italicised will not escape attention. It is characteristic of the writer. We hardly think the letter ls entirely satisfactory to the gentleman to whom it ls addressed. Captain Chjpley I?, we think, gen? eral superintendent, or In some way offlclallv connected with the new railway in course of construction from Columbus to Rome, known as the "North and South Road." The line of the latter must necessarily cross the line of the Atlanta and LaGrange Road, and the ! managers of the North and South Road In lo? cating their line so as to touch LaGrange hoped thereby to make a connection with Augusta and the Atlantic seaboard But rumors of the contemplated transfer of the Atlantic and LaGrange Road to the Pennsyl? vania '?Southern Railroad and Security Com? pany" caused them lo entertain doubts whether, alter all, the LaGrange connection would really benefit them much, and hence this letter of Inquiry to Judge King. We are not at all surprised to And that Judge King is "decidedly of opinion that ihe late rumor about the control of the South Caroli? na Railroad is all bosh .'" We recollect that, at a public meeting held not long since In Athens, to revive the Athens and Clayton Railroad project, that Judge King, In reply to some remarks by the writer, to the effect that the Air Line Railroad would soon be con? structed, said, In effect, that the Air Line Road was all bosh ! Judge King ls evidently so constituted that he either cannot, or will not. see unpleasant things until lt ls too late to counteract their effect and influence. The rumors about the sate aud purchase of ihe siock ol the South Carolina Railroad is, we are lnlormed by those who ought to know, true. Ol course we state nothing In this re? gard f roar our own knowledge, but our infor? mation comes from such a quarter as to lully aattsly U3 ol Its truthfulness. THE MISSOURI DEBT. ST.

OW Special attention given to collecting and Bankruptcy, Jan20-lmo 4jelmM&*s Bncliti. M _A_ IV H O O ?. ? IN THE Ml&BISIGGBlRliTON Toe v?g?tative powers of life are strong, bat in a few years now often tbe pallid boo. tine lack-las' tre eye, and emaciated form, show their baneful influence, lt soon becomes evident to the observ? er that some depressing influence ls checking the development of the body. Consumption ls tai sed or, and perhaps the youth ls removed from school and sent into the country. This Is one of the worst movements. Removed from ordinary di? versions or the ever-changing soenesof the etty, the powers of the body, too mach enfeebled to give zest to healthful and rural exercise, thoughts are turned Inwardly upon themselves. If the patient bea female the approach of the menses ls looked for with anxiety as the first symptom m which naturels to show her saving power in diffaslng the circulation and visiting the cheek with the bloom of health. Alas I increase of appetite has grown bj what lt fed on. The energies of the system are prostrated, and the whole economy ls deranged. The beau tirol and wonderful period in which body and mind under? go so fascinating a change from child to woman ls looked for In vain. The parent's heart bleeds in anxiety, and fancies the grave but walting for Its victim. HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT BTJCHTJ, FOR WEAKNESS ARISING FROM EXCESSES OR EARLY INDISCRETION, attended with the following symptoms: INDIS? POSITION TO EXERTION, LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF ME HORT, DIFFICULT T OF BREATH? ING, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves, Trembling, Dreadful Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wakefulness, Dimness ol vision, Langor, Universal Lassitude of the Mason lar System, orten Enormous' Appetite with Dys. peptlo Symptoms, Hot Hands, Flashing of the Body, Dryness of the Skia, Pallid Countenances and Eruptions on the Face, Pain in the Back, Heaviness of the Eyelids, Frequently Black Spots flying before the Eyes, with temporary Snffasloo and Lessor Sight. Want of Attention, Great Mo? bility, Restlessness, with Horror of Society. Nothing Is more desirable to such patients than Solitude, and nothing they more dread, for fear of themselves; no repose of manner, no earnest? ness, no sp?culation; bat a hurried transition from one question to another. THESE SYMPTOMS, IF ALLOWED TO GO ON -WHICH THIS MEDICINE INVARIABLY RE? MOVES-SOON FOLLOW LOSS OF POWER, FATUITY AND EPILEPTIC FITS, IN ONE OF WHICH THE PATIENT MAY EXPIRE. During the Superintendence of Dr. WILSON at the BLOOMINGDA LE ASYLUM, this sad result occurred to two patients. Reason had for a time left them, and both died of. epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and about twenty years or age. Who can say that their excesses are not fre? qaently followed by those direful diseases, IN? SANITY and CONSUMPTION ? The records or the INSANE ASYLUMS, and the melancholy deatha by Consumption, bear ample witness to the truth of these assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears. The countenance ls actually sodden and quite destitute; neither mirth nor grief ever visits lt. Should a sound of the voice occur lt ls rarely articulate. " With woful measures wan despair Low sallen sounds their grief beguiled." While we regret the exhr.ence of the above dis? eases and symptoms, we are prepared to offer an invaluable gut or chemistry ror the removal or the consequences.
