The procession was very long, complete and elaborate, and was viewed by the Grand Duke and his suite, together wfth-the city magnates, wiih evident delight. First came a Doric temple, followed by -Paris and Helen, with Venus lu a back? ground of golden clouds, typifyirg the origin of the Trojan War.

The festivities at the Varie? ties ended with a grand dress ball. Grand fancy-dress and masquerade balls were also given at the opera house, St. Charles Theatre, the Academy of Muslo and at almost every hall In the city. -As the snow blockade across the conti? nent ls being continually alluded to, it maybe Interesting to give a brief sketch of the trou? ble th is winter. The Brut blockade occurred October 12th, near Raw Un., since that time with brief intervals there has oeen a succes? sion of snow and wind storms of great vio? lence. The greatest depth of fal Ung snow on the. line of the road across the mountain ls Bl ?,ty:fonr Inches. But the detention ot the traine has been caused by di laing and not by falling xno3t._ In November, the second serious blockade oceurreq? the' len ces having been found instiiiclent. to arrest ttiecriulng snow. An effort was then made to open the roi keep lt open bj the use of snow plouf which the company bad thirteen tba proved to be efficient during the pas' wintere, with three heavy wagons pied behind each pbugh, and as tl suit of this attempt twenty locomotives disabled within one week by being throwi the track and materially injured. ? snow trains were flited out, with accomi tlon8 on each for sleeping and feeding se? il ve laborers, and with two weeks' suppl provisions, this force was set at work, In Hon to the ordinary number ot emplc and in this way trains have been sent ov< road. The road ls now open lrom Oma Laramie, distance five hundred and sev two miles, and from Wasbaki to Ogden tance two hundred and twenty-eight-1 The obstructions are between Laramie Wasbaki, embracing the divide of the ( nent, being only one. hundred and sev nine miles. There are now seven west-b passenger trains detained near Separa which ls twenty-nine miles distant fron western boundary of the blockade, and t are two east-bound passenger trains at G River, walting until the west-bound ti shall pass the blockade. At various p< along the road there are about eight hun ?west-bound cars of freight, and about hundred cars of freight east-bound. Mr. W. J. Magrath. At the meeting of the newly-elected Bi of Directors of the South Carolina Rail Company, held on Thursday last, Mr. V Magrath was unanimously re-elected P dent of the Company. This unanimout election, coupled with the fact that he ceived the largest number of votes cast any director at tbe annual meeting of st< holders, is a pleasing recognition of high esteem in which Mr. Magrath is hele the stockholders and by his board. The Lancaster Elections. The Radical members of the State Sec may congratulate themselves upon ha\ committed an act of usurpation which ex> in turpitude any piece of financial rasca of which their comrades in the House b been guilty. We give the facts, which tagen exclusively from the report of Senate Committee on Privileges and E. tiona, submitted to the Senate last week. : At the election of a senator for Laucas County in October, 1870, there were t candidates, viz: Phineas B. Tompkins, Democrat, and F. A. Clinton, a Radie According to the certificate of the' Com rc Bioners of Election, Clinton received IC votes, and Tompkins received 852 vol when Clinton was declared elected, and vt admitted to a seat upon the floor or the Sc ata Mr. Tompkins filed a protest agait the election, and, undera resolution adopt by tbe Senate, was authorized to take tes moby to establish the facts alleged int groands of protest Notice ol the time ai place of taking testimony was served upi Clinton, who was present by his attorne The taking of testimony was closed on Fe mary 27,1871, the result being that ni: hundred and eighty-eight voters of Lanca ter County were produced, at the varioi times and placeo, nud made sill la vit th they voted fer Tompkins. Testimony wi also taken to prove that some of the balli boxes had no lock or any means of fastet ing^ and that they were left in this conditio with tbe managers and forwarded to tt County Commissioners of Elep.tinn. M Clinton, the silting senator, look no test mony in reply, and personally informed tb Senate Committee that he did not desire t do so. The committee having examined tb poll lists found that the perdons who swor that they voted for Tompkins did vote at th elections,-and report that the case is redacei to this point: "By the testimony of the vo "tere, 988 votes (42 more than a majority o "the votes cast in tbe county for State Sena "tor) were given to Phineas B. Tompkins "On the other hand, the return of the oin "eera-Managers and Commissioners o "Election-shows that he received but 851 "votes; less than a majority of the votei "cast for senator in that county." A thor ough examination of the law and precedent) satisfied the committee that it was competeui for the Senate (o go behind the certificate o: election, ascertain the facts fully, and decide upon the whole question. Mr. Clinton made no attempt to impeach the character of o single witness called on behalf of the con? testant, and the committee, therefore, con? clude that "the testimony or the witnesses "produced by the contestant is to be received "and treated, in all respects, as true, Tor the "purposes or this case." The committee are driven to anotuer inevitable conclusion, viz: "that either the Managers of Election at the "various precincts in Lancaster County, or "the commissioners to whom the managers "made returns, some one or more of them, "have perpetrated a gross fraud; and that "they have done so to an extent sufficient to "cltange Ute wkole result of the election for "senator in tfiat county." The majority of the Committee on Privi? leges and Elections are Radicals, the chair? man being United States District Attorney D. T. Corbin. They reported, as we have shown, that it was proved by affidavit that a majority of the voters cast their votes for Mr. Tompkins, and they announced that gross frauds had been committed, sufficient to change the whole result or the election. They declare it to be certain that "the pres "ent incumbent (Clinton) ls not entitled to "his seat," and, in the face or these fads, the committee recommend that tbe election be declared void, and the seat or the senator from Lancaster County be declared vacant Tbey officially announce that Clinton was not elected and that Tompkins was elected; and thea place the usurping member and the rightful claimant upon ti ? same rooting. They officially decide that Mr. Tompkins re? ceived a majority oi the votes cast, and then advise that the matter be referred again to the people of Lancaster County "to say who "is their choice for senator!" The people have said; they have decided. What war? rant is there for depriving them of their rights, and for refusing his seat to the candi? date whom they have deliberately chosen? But even the report or the committee, shamefully unjust as it was, did not suit the Radical politicians in the Senate. Tile re? port of the committee was called up ou Fri? day, in the absence of Senator Corbin, and was, on motion of Senator Hoyne, laid on the ?able. A motion to reconsider was made, which motion, also, was laid on the table, which manoeuvre prevents any consideration of the nport dur.ng ihe present session. Senator Corbin Hied a protest against the I action of his colle igue3. In that protest he declares that both parties bad the fallest op-1 ! portaalty to produce testimony, that toe re I port of the committee was full and elaborate; ? yet the ' Senate, without reading the report, ' irrevocably disposed of the whole question, j contrary to the report, in favor of the sitting | member. In conclusion, Senator Corbin says : I protest against such action because it J demonstrates to the world that this Senate, having a large Republican majority, will not even hear before it deeldes upon the rights of the parties to ibis contest, and the rights of | ?he people of Lancaster County lb representa? tion upon this floor. - : I protest against this action as unconstitu? tional, unjust, and an outrage, and as fasten? ing upon the Republican majority of this Sen? ate a stain not to be effaced by time. Senators Corbin and Wilson (Con.) then resigned their positions as members of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. -There is no reason for saying, in thia case, that the Radical Senators are the vic-1 tims of Democratic . misrepresentations. They are condemned by their own commit? tee, and bitterly blamed by the ablest mem? ber of their body. Without condescending j to offer an excuse for their shameless con? duct, they have violated their official oaths, made themselves the accomplices in guilt of j the ballot-stuffing officers of election, and deprived a whole county of the suffrage. What can be thought of men who preach the j doctrine of Equal Rights, and who give to their political opponents only insult and [ wrong? What can be thought of a party which bas no mercy on the misguided mask? ers who prevented negroes from voting, and which accepts and trusts, as it chosen repre? sentatives, a body of men who, at one ? swoop, nullify the votes of nearly one thou? sand citizens of the State ? Augusta and Charleston. The Augusta Constitutionalist thinks that the demonstration against the South Caro? lina Railroad is only a feint, and that the real object of the Central Railroad is to ob? tain possession of the Georgia Railroad, con? necting Augusta and Atlanta. It is led to this conclusion by the opinion that the pos? session of the South Carolina Railroad by the j Central Railroad won ld not cut off Charles-1 ton unless the Central Railroad obtained control of the Port Royal line, which will soon be completed; when a through line could be easily arranged over the Port Royal and Savannah and Charleston roads to Cbarleston. But a lease of tbe Georgia Railroad would enable the Central Railroad to cut off all its rivals. We think it very likely that the Central j Railroad has not abandoned the project of j buying or leasing the Georgia Road. This is a scheme all the dangers of which both Augusta and Atlanta understand. Our con? temporary does not, however, appear to have considered the injury which Augusta imay sustain, if it be deprived of the vast facili? ties and active competition which are secur? ed to it by the independence of the South Carolina road; facilities and a competition which could not be retained when the main avenues to the sea were controlled by a single corporation. Counting the two companies which use the track from Augusta to Colum? bia, the former city bas now five outlets; viz: the Augusta and Wilmington Road, the Augusta and Charlotte Road, the Sooth Car? olina Road, the Savannah Road and the Sa? vannah River. The trade of Augusta, is not sufficient to sustain any one of the four lines of railroad; and it is evidently to her inter? est to give every encouragement to an ex? tension of Western connections, and to keep open her unrivalled connections with the j coast. This is necessary for her local busi? ness, as well as for holding and Improving her posit io ri ns a distributing railroad centre. To place the South Carolina Road under tho j control of the Georgia Road is to take away from Augusta her most valuable feeder. The Port Royal Railroad may soon be added to the list of the competitors for Augusta freights; but has our contemporary any cer? tain knowledge that the Fort Boyal Boad will not, as well as the South Carolina Road, be controlled by the Central Ring? The Bhrewd railroad men who are striving to lease the Sooth Carcuma Road know that its value is diminished, for their purposes, by allowing the Port Royal Road to rest un? trammelled. Is it likely that they have over? looked-that road ? - Is it not probable that they are well assnred that the Port Royal line can be controlled, or that it will not be a dangerous rival ? Assuming, for the sake of argument, that the Port Royal Road will soon be finished, and that it will be independent of the Cen? tral Road, we beg to remind our contempo? rary that it is far cheaper for its citizens to spend a hundred or two hundred thousand dollars, if necessary, to retain the South Carolina Road under its present manage? ment than to be forced to encounter an ex? penditure of millions for the purpose of put? ting the Port Royal line in condition to cope with the Ceatral and South Carolina roads '. The railroad connections of Augusta, by the South Carolina Road, are everything that can be desired, and the same company gives Au? gusta, without a farthing of cost, the unsur? passed liues of water communication which, make Charleston *tb.e first of the South At? lantic ports. As soon as the South Carolina Road fell into'the bands of the Central. Railroad, Charleston would be stripped of] the lines of steamships which the business] or the South Carolina Road maintains. And ; the consequent delay in transporting and; delivering freight would be commensurate.] with the increase of rates. AugHsta would be forced to reopen an ample channel to tho j sea, and millions, spent upon the Port Royal j Road, would not give her the advantages i which she receives from the South Carolina Road, and which it would be the part of prudence to strive hard to retain. We have made these suggestions only to j show that the lease of the South Carolina j Roud would not be injurious to Cbarleston alone. Augusta has, also, a heavy stake in the came. FODLKS, who was found guilty of man. ttiiigbter In the case of the colored convict who was tortured to death In the Penitentiary shower-bath, was pardoned by Governor Scoit j before his conviction. It was ouly a colored | man, and Governor Scott knows more of the law and the tacts than either Judge or Jury. WE have received ihe first number of the Orangeburg Times, edited by Messrs. J. 8.

Of this number probably more than three-fifths have neglected the ordinary precau? tions necessary for the preservation of health, and are anne ring the punishment due to their carelessness. If the multitudes '.vho are now afflicted with billonsneas, Indigestion, rheuma? tism, Intermittent fever, Irr?gularit?s of the bowels, general debility, nervous disorders, Ac, had, at the very first symptoms of Indisposition, Invigorated, regulated and purified their systems With HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, two thirds of them would at this moment be perform? ing the active duties of life, unannoyed by any ailment or the body or the mind. This assertion ls made advisedly. It la founded on experience, and ls borne out by the testimony of a countless host of wltnessess, whose attesta? tions cover almost every variety of disease, and extend over a period of about twenty years. Of every thousand persons who take tbe Bitters, as a preventive of the complaints above enumera? ted, se ven-eight hs escaped them entirely; and of every thousand who are actually attacked, and use the great Vegetable Tonic as a remedy, three fsurths are radically cured. These are not hap? hazard assertions, bot statistical facts. They are based upon the results ef inquiries made by moro than fifty thonsacd persons in various parts of the country, and upon the letters of prominent citizens of every state, lt might al? most be said, or every county, in the Union. febl9-mw?3D?c fttnnicipal Halites. :pB+ CITY TAX NOTICE.- OFFICE OP CITY APPRAISER, CITY HALL, CHARLES?
