MW i i VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 2160. CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. PLYMOUTH ROCK. MEETING OE TUB NSW ENGLAND 'SOCIETY. Fifty-Third Anniversary Celebration. The fl l ty-third anniversary meeting and celebration er the New England Society, of Charleston, was held yesterday afternoon and evening at the Charleston Hotel. At the boalneas meeting of the society the following officers were unanimously re-elected to serve for the ensuing year: Hon. J. B. Campbell, president; Mesera. James B. Betts and A. R. Tait, vice-presidents; Mr. Thaddens Street, secretary and treasurer. . The financial ex* hiblt of the society for the past year was aleo submitted, anti showed the society to be In a moat flourishing condition. ' In the evening the members of the society, with a large number of Invited guests, were entertained at an elegant tupper at the Charleston Hotel, prepared under the direction of the society's efficient stewards, Messrs. J. B. Bead, J. B. Steele and 8. N. Brown. The supper was spread in the room lately known aa the ladles' ordinary, which had been deco? rated for tbe occasion with oil portraits of the former presidenta of the aocleiy,M*asra. Joseph Winthrop, Oils Milla, Doddridge Crocker, Na thanlelBusseU and A. 1?. WlUington. The principal table ran across the sooth end of the room, and this was supplemented by two tables running lengthwise of the room from either end of the malu table. These tables, were elegantly decorated with various orna? mental designa In confectionery, comprising, among others, a tall column of candled fruits flanked by a series of columns ol cornucopia), lut elaborate pillar, garnished with fruit placa, and a model of Bunker Hill Monument, sur? mounted by the American colors. The company .'waa seated at about, seven o'clock, and the two euoeeedlng hours were devoted to an eminently satisfactory discus? sion of the supper, which waa served in the beet ot style by the attentive walters of the hotel at the tap of the bell, while the most en? joyable music was discoursed In an adjoining apartment by the Post band. Tho members of the society, were present in lull force, and among the invited guests were the Rev. Mr. Adams, who offered the* grace, General Yogdes and staff, Captain Thomas Lookwood, of the steamer James Adger, Captain T. G. Hubbard, ol the ship Blchard III, and many ethers. Letters of regret were also read from Mesan. Jacob.Small, president of the German Friendly Society ; Charles H. Simon ton, president of tbe Fellowship Society; H. P. Walker, president of the St George's Socie? ty; James Simmons, president ol the Cincin? nati Society; James Conner, president of the Hibernian''Society; Wilmot G. DeSaussure, president Of the St. Andrew's Society ; Samuel y." Tupper, president of the Chamber of Com . aeree, and others, whose engagements pre? vented their attendance. Upon the removal of the cloth the feast of reaaopx and the flow ol soul was Initiated hy? the pr?sident, the Hon. J. B. Campbell, who, In e most felicitous style announced as the toast of the evening, "The day we celebrate,' and called upon Senator Sawyer for a reply. -Tbe response, which waa equally happy and wus vociferously applauded, will be published 1 In full In THE NEWS of to-morrow. Senatoi 1 Sawyer then proposed as an appropriate toast j Xor toe New England Society, "The memory I of Horace Greeley," and la a brief speech said j that although he had been one ot those who , disagreed wUh bia political ooorse in later life, he had been compelled lo award him a life? long admiration for his Bterllng lndepend- ? ence, manliness, industry aod truth. This : sentiment was responded to by Colonel Bich, ard Lathers, who said : Mr. President-I thank yon lor the com- ? pliment of being selected to respond to this i toast, and have only to regret my Inability to < do Justice to the life and character of the j grearrNew Englander, whose untimely death ? Bile us all with profound sorrow. ? I have known him personally nearly a i quarter of a century, and for many years we, i occupied contiguous farms In Westchester < County, while we were enjoying In our re-' j Bpeotlvo vocations in New York the liberal i patronage of that cosmopolitan cit}, the in- i doatrJous and enterprising ol every part ot i our Union, claiming and receiving there a < commercial welcome and hearty support, re- ! gar diese ot soolai, sectional, religious or po- , lineal distinctions. < lt seems, slr, but yesterday that I enjoyed ? tba hospitality of Cnappaqua, and heard his cleai? nervous language in denuncia'lon of i the national corruption, of tnelr degrad- ? lng corruption of the blacks; and his encour- < aging hopes for the future restoration of that i - great New JBngland safeguard to liberty, local < self-government, directed by Intelligence,-re- i curs to me with a melancholy pleasure beyond ] ' expression. I refrain on this festive occasion < from occupying the-tlme by any biographical ] notioeofhls varied and eventful liff, or the ? Justification of his political career, wherein, in < common with many ol you, I have differed i widely, both in the theory and practice of his i political coarse. I have long B'JII ceased t) estimate men by their political r- .ord. The < . history of the past thirty years ls bo filled wlih i the records of political shipwrecks and explod* i ed theories, that few public men can be lound i whose consistency with their early principles i lg a distinguishing feature of their declining i years; those few are of ali others the persons < ?wno have most signally tailed to impresa their 1 views on pubUo confldeaoe. _ 1 .- Oars ls a new government, with novel and ? comparatively untried features of polity, In- i tensely complicated by the federative system, < and the necessary variety ot sentiments and i habits to be conformed to. We ' need, there- ? fore, not only that our Institutions and laws be wisely framed originally, but, In general, in sympathy with the habits and prejudices ot 1 the people, and even conforming to the changes ol the times and the varying forms wniob, our Industrial pursuits may require. < Hence the doubtful utility of a too permanent j or comprehensive organic law. Men's theo- | rles often mislead them and Induce the more i earnest to practice acts ot Injustice towards thplr political adversaries, but the aulmus of { the honest man so misled ls developed when i he confronts the evils of bis own teachings by j defending blB former adversary irom the con- i sequences ol their application. This, lu my Judgment, waa the generous and manly con- i teat which terminated the political career of i - Horace Greeley. His theories brought on the ] contest culminating In a civil war which ter? minated In emancipation. The whole energies of bis lite seemed to be interested in the conteBt, but the oppression and misrule of the people of the South, which necessarily resulted from the overibvow of the rights of the Southern people by the eleva vallon to political supremacy ot corrupt ad? venturers and uneducated negroes, sustained . and co-operated with by federal power, were evils which be had not anticipated and which ' be manfully attempted to correct by beoemlng the standard-bearer In a reform contest for an honest administration of federal affdrs, and a g?nerons feeling towards the people of the ' ?oath. In all other respects be cooiinued the loyal supporter of the doctrines of his party, desiring only to puree lt of that measure ot dishonesty and sectional persecution which, io his opinion, would destroy the Union and enbvert tbe liberties ot the people; lor dis? union la not the only evil which federative re '? publics must guard against. Corruption and centralization of the federal power are danger .' ona elements against public Horny io any . country. The contest for reiorm failed, as reforms generally fall when the evils do not direoily reach tbe voters nt a community. Even the - race which be had devoted the best energies of his Hie to emancipate, with lew honorable .exceptions St the more IntelUgent, ungrate? fully used tte boon which his energies and philanthropy procured fdr them, and cast their suffrages In favor ol bis adversary, whi had but recently emerged from the party op posed to their emancipation, but; now invok lng their support as a vehicle of parilsai supremacy. History abounds in Instances justifying thi charge of the Ingratitude of republics, but thi ingratitude of this race towards their bene factor will long furnish a striking demonstra lion that gratitude Is a high order o? humar impulse developed greatly by Intelligence and rare are the instances where the origina tors of reforms or revolutions, and those whc have sacrificed themselves in the early strug gles ot a people, have been gratefully remem bered, while the rewards usually fall to those who espouse the cause after success is beyond question. But Mr. Greeley has chiefly Impressed him? self on the age by those manly acts of Inde? pendence and firm persistent support of prin? ciples which commended themselves to hit Individual judgment and console oce, di sregard iog popular clamor or the more seductive in? fluences ot priva'e Interests or friendly per? suasion. His untiring Industry and thrift, his love of knowledge, and his extraordinary success In rising from the obscure Biatlon of a journeyman printer to the distinguished po? sition of the (first journalist of the age, and the support of m liions of bis countrymen lor tba chier magistracy of the nation, most of whom were bis bi Lt er est opponents a few years since, are well calculated to Inspire our young men to emulate bis mental and physi? cal industry, self-confidence and the honesty Inspired by them, and to rejoice lo the privi? leges and encouragement of our glorious form of government oy which this New Eng? land boy of humble parentage, and without social advantages an i self-education, was en? abled to accomplish lo this great nation. Had this New Eogland lad, while engaged In the humble avocations of his father's little farm in the cold and sterile but beautiful munn tal us of his native Vermont, fallen Into a reverie, could be bave conceived for himself that place in the public estimation which bis obsequies developed-the great metropolis aDd other cities of bis country draped in tbe sable habiliments of sorrow, ibe^press of ihe whole country, and maoy of them in foreign land",devoted' io his eulogy, ihe telegraph load? ed with messages cf every Incident of his last moments, which a craving public desired to read. Dyiog lamented and honored by even bis moBt -.ecided opponents,- and followed to the grave by the President of the United States and distinguished members of the gov? ernment, and of Congressmen, who had trav? elled many miles to perform the melancholy duty of respect. All this reality of respect and affection to? wards a character far from perfect; like ail strone men his virtues had their correspond? ing vices and weaknesses, and bis political career by no means free lrom grave faults, and measures which cannot be Justified. A strong and fertile Boll nurtures weeds as well as flowers, and tares cannot be safely ex? tracted, we are divinely Informed, without the danger of rooting up the wheat also. But when we delineate the features of a great character who enjoys a large share of public esteem, perhaps ll would be well to follow the example! of the Grecian artist, who, being re? quested to paint a distinguished ruler who bad lost an eye without showing that defect in the portrait, gave a truthful representation by painting a side face, which exhibited the perfect organ to wards posterity. The advice of Slr Joshua Reynolds to an art critic may not be with DUI loree io this connection. ''Arl," said hf?, "like everything tinman, ls Imperfect, and if you.wish tn enjoy lt, prac? tice the art yourself Of avoiding the blemishes, and direct your attention to the beauties of each picture. This amiable Habit will afford you a greater means of enjoyment, wimont practically detracting from the truthfulness or your descriptions. God knows the rising generation have a sufficient numoer cf deformed Poli? ticians, without any redeenvng qualities to pervert the'r tastes and discourage their patriotism, without unnecessarily em? phasizing occasional defects In the few well balanced examples which modern times af? fords us. Mr Greeley was a man of sympa Lhetlo and noble i m pul-is. his liberality far . ulran his means, and his manly peMstence in always folio wi nz the dictates of his kindly purposes olsen subjected him to abuse and misrepresentation, even lrom his political as? sociates, who were nuable to comprehend the utility and breadth of bis principle ot action. When ihe unwarrantable Interference of tbe Radicals of the North with the institutions and const ii ni ional rights of the South, initiated that III Judged means of resistance by a war against the Federal authority, Mr. Greeley's haired of war, and bis well grounded leers of the effect of elvll war on the lui ure of our country, disposed him to concede secession as a choice of evils, rather lhan confront the elle cu which civil war bad. produced In all couotries. And who Is now wise enough to fathom the consequences of the corruption ind nee:Ional hatred entailed by that war, to say nothing of the evils of centralized power, and the det.tructlon of local self-government, and the building np ot prodigious moneyed corporation.i .which now seriously embarrass honest legislation, and openly corrupt the highest sources ol Justice t It ls to oe teared ihut In our exaggerated fear ot dis? union, we are -disregarding Imminent sources ?f real danger "by the corrupt use of power and the disregard of the organlo law quite as destructive ot national unity and far more dangerous to the individual liberty of the dil seo. No one sustained tbe government and the Union during the war with more zeal and ability than Mr. Greeley, yet true to bis gen? erous sentiments and impulses, he was con? stantly negotiating for peace by every source upen to h 1 m,und when he had the liberality and manliness to become the bondsman of Jefferson Davis and was aasalled by the abuse ol Radi ?ais and threatened with expulsion from the Loyal League Club, Which had formerly wor? shipped him, lie simply defied them, and prop? erly characterized them In his reply as a Bet ol Blundering blockheads, willing to do right, Dut without capacity. At the close of ihe war Impoverished South? ern editors visited New Tork to obtnln the means ot reinstating their business. Many of them brought introductory letters to myself, and I invariably Introduced them to Mr. Gkeeley, at his own request, who, in every sase, lent them his credit aad Influence. One jay, I mer, him in Wall street, and he said, "ibu did not bring Mr.-to see me .?" Now, the gentleman alluded to was the most violent, consistent and powerful advocate of secession, and his Journal the leading organ of tbe extreme Souib, whose spirited articles against Greeley himself had often seriously affronted the philosopher. I replied, that knowing how bitterly they had assailed each other, I did not wish to hazard the Interview. "Ah," (said Greeley;) "lhere ls where you did me Injustice, lor wheo good men are In ad? versity I do not stop to recall differences of opinion or past discussions ol them. His lournal was a power in the South, and I trust the logic ot events will lead his talents In the right channel In the future." He saw the necessity of using the brains of ihe South to reinstate the country In Its fer? ner position, and repair the damages and losses of the war, and was ready to aid every means to that end. Greeley had no reverence for distinguished Dames or classes of society Ii In conflict with bis own views of publlo policy or abstract right. He advocated emancipation when lt was almost a disgrace to be called an Aboll il'inUt in even New England, and he clam? ored-for oeace at the hazard of being regarded as a traitor to the North; and when the party of hie own creation had reached the very aome of political power, and bad even changed Important features of the organic law lo cnn lorin io their polloy, he became the leader of an-opposition to oppose further Changes In that direction; but as the Giron? dists of revolutionary Fraoce lost their lives lu an attempt to limit the consequences o their own teachings, so Mr. Greeley fell a victim to the Radicalism or his own creation. Let us imitate bi? manly and persistent advocacy and free discussion ol the prlncl- ] pies which guide us aa Individuals or con? cerns as coinmuuiiles. Theories harden into i practice, and great danger Is to be apprehend? ed when we allow false principles to go un? challenged and become maxims of ihe people. I No reverence for persons or communities i should deter the citizens of a republic from combating public errors of opinion. The i civil war through which we have passed with i BO much loss of valuable property and still i more of valuable life to all sections, and which has entailed so much Buflerlug at the 80111 h, was the direct result of erroneous views ot each other, wr.lch sectional pride and prejudice fostered, and which social aod political Influences prevented lrom being fair? ly dlaoussed; and we are now mutually con? ceding to each other principles and practices which before this would have prevented the conflict. Let us therefore recall the past only to avoid Its errors, and press on for the future. Let us have no monuments or records that shall remind us ot the unfortunate conflict. Let the flag of o?r country typify our unity and the equal heritage and rights of all. Let no inscription deface the stars and stripes with aDy record which shall recall a conflict among ourselves. Perish the sentiment that would entail on the future definition of our national banner any reflection on his forefa? thers. As the small Greek republic .carved Its successes in civil war over its own people in perishable wood, and their foreign vlcto torles on imperishable brasp, so should we de? sire to avoid perpetuating, In the rising gene? ration, any feelings but those of love and na? tional unity, and a common reverence for the flag of our country. I have no respect for any of the doctrines or practices at the North or at the South which lead to secession, nov sympathy for the "lost cause." But I recognize in the late civil conflict on the part of both sections the delence of opposite principles honestly held and defended by an unselfish zeal and gal? lantry worthy of the beet days of chival? ry, and creditable to us as a nation. The dis? crimination as to which party was right will always be open to discussion. Bnt the Im? pulse which carried either of them to the field, whether logically d?fendable or not, produces the heroes of our country, and Is the staple of trne patriotism in every country; and when that period arrives in our history that men will not defend what they regard as their rights, liberty mnst find a resting place elsewhere, and our women and children mnst seek other protection. And, gentlemen, thia was the doctrine of Ur. Greeley. The rest ot the evening waa devoted to a series of informai toasts responded to by General Vogdes and Dr. Gibson, of United States army. Mr. Barrett Coben, Colonel Z. Davis and others, and a pleasant Interchange of thought and good wishes which continued until after midnight, when the parly retired. THINGS IN COLUMBIA. . A Commotion Among the Blue Ridge Scrip Men-The Tax Levy - Public Dtbl - Local Ooislp, ?fcc. [SPECIAL TE [.BOBAH TO TH S NXWS ] COLUMBIA, MOB day, December 23. There is an evident commotion among, the holders of Bine Bldge scrip. Mr. E. B. Wes? ley, of New York, who ls largely interested, is In town, and, it is said, bas telegraphed to Charleston for his counsel. Comptroller H?ge has issued his circular to the county treasurers, ordering a tax levy of fifteen mills on the dollar, twelve for. the State and three for the conney. This does not include any provision for the Blue Bldge scrip. The report|of ex-Comptroller Neagle 1B QOW in the hands of the printers. I have not seen able to learn anything of ita contents jxcept that the public debt ls placed at'the ?me figure as last winter-a fraction under ilxleen millions of dollars. Borne three mil? tons of the State bonds are stated to be In Hypothecation for a loan of three htindrr? .bousand dollars. The actual debt, therefore, would not appear to be over thirteen millions )f dollars. The town ls all agog with preparations for Christmas.

Qui Viva. BX- O O VBRNO It B. K. SCOTT. rwo Views of His Political Career, HU spf culm lon? anil Ml* Retirement. | The New York World has Ihe. following: , Carpet-bagger Soott, of South Carolina, I ends In his parting message to the L>glsla- I ure and returns to Napoleon, 0., with the . rucal galas cf his four years' buccaneering i louth. In terminating hla official relations I ie attempts to whitewash his administration, i int discloses two fat al tacts. When he came i ?io power he aaya "i here was an outstanding >ond?*d debt of $5.523,000," and the debt on i .he 13th of March last he reports as 115,851, 127 35, an Increase of over ten millions In : ils term. Further than this he lets lt Blip l hat the issaeB ot bonds made by his >reclous gevernment were limited only < >y the amount of net cash required. Thus, ll i > 1,000,000 In greenbacks were wanted and the i Jtate bonds stood at 50 they ground out . (2,000,000 In bonds, and If when half a million . lad been sold and one-fourth ol the required i sash obtained the securities fell to 25 so that i he whole issue would only bring $625,000 i rom first to last, they merrily grouod out an- I nber million and a half to make np the i 1375,000 deficit. This financiering wse adml- I ably adapted to the minimum of income at i he maximum ot outgo, and yet the creature i ?ho relates it says : "I desire, however, to i lay In conclusion, iellow-cltlzens, that I Bhall ii ways esteem lt a matter of high pride and I >rofound gratification that I have been i >romlnently associated with the rise and pro? gress of free government in South Carolina < I urlng the past seven years." Commenting on the above, the Toledo (Ohio) 1 )emocrat takes np the cudgel for the ex-Gov- ; irnor in thia fashion: Governor Scott has Just been defeated in his laudldacy for the United States Senate, and ' vi th that defeat ends his political career in South Carolina. It is fashionable with the Democratic press of the country, to assign to 1 ill Northern men who have since the war held epresentatlve elective positions In the South, J he vices of the characterless adventurers 1 rho Invented, or camed the Invention, of the vord carpet-bagger. We believe South Caro- 1 loa permitted Immigration at the close of the var; we believe that it was politic to encourage rumination, and we know that wo l09t one it our best and most honored cltizeos lo this leotion of Ohio when Robert K. Scott ira mi ?crated with an appointment from the Federal 1 Government in n,s pocket, to a State that lad been saved by Northern soldiers from ber >wn Tories lu the Revolutionary war. As Ur. Greeley said, carpet-baglsm ls a mournful fact, but we must discriminate between the jarpet-bagger of character, brains and so Mai position at home, and the fellows who 1 treat Sooth In the wake ot the army with neither antecedents uor worldly good?, and who ran Btate governments upon the old Ro? nan maxim, that "where vice M raaf ol lt ls a ; ri rae to be virtuous.'' Governor Soott, lt is said, has made a mil? lion of dollars in South Carolina. When the jredlt of the State was almost gone, he did what every man was at liberty to do, he 30Ugbt the depreciated promises to pay of the State and sold at a handsome advance. It IB true, there was a time In the purer days ol the republic, when speculation of this kind ivas discountenanced, but in politics in this lay and generation we unite to the purity of 'ha dove a blt of the wisdom of the serpent, ind Governor Scott will be welcomed home ts a carpet-bagger Bans peur et sans reproche.

THE ADDRESS OF THE LOUISIANA COMMITTEE. i- \ A Calm and Lndd Expos ar e of the Con? ?piracy to Overthrow the Lawful Stale Government. WASHINGTON, December 23. The citizens of Louisiana bave perceived with satisfaction tbat the people ot ber slater States are not unconcerned spectators of events now transpiring within her lim Us, and of which it ls probable no parallel can be found lu the history of this or any other coun? try. As these events were entirely brought about by the agency of officers, civil and mili? tary, ot the General Government, the citizens ot Louisiana not doubting that the action of the Executive, at least in reference to them, was the result of a misapprehension of the facts, determined to adopt prompt measures for the correction of the error. " At a meeting held for that purpose, repre? senting, we may safely say, a long preponder? ance of the moral world, Intelligence and wealth of the city, a committee ot one hundred gentlemen was appointed with instructions to proceed Immediately to Washington to lay the facts before the several departments of the government, and to solicit their aid In repair? ing (he gross wrongs which bad been done, and lu restoring to the people the right of self-gov? ernment, which had been wrested lrom them by the ?nest patent usurpation. Tba under? signed for m a part of that committee. On our arrival here, we found so much misapprehen? sion existing, even among those who are usually well Informed, la regard to origin and nistory of thia disturbance, that we deter? mined to publish a brief narration ol the facts. Tbe parties engaged in these proceedings, are aware that If the facts were properly under? stood they would admit of no defence, now seek to belittle and conceal the question at Issue, and to treat a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the Slate as a mere struggle for political ascendency be? tween Governor Warmoth and Ur. Kellogg. They allege that the former was endeavoring, hy some trickery or legerdemaln, to cheat the latter out of his election, and that the object of their proceedings was simply to fr?strale this attempt. They have sedulously sought to produce the impression upon the public mind that this committee was composed of mere allies and agents of Governor Warmoth. We repel this Insinuation as utterly false and unwarranted. We are not the representatives of soy personal or party Interest whatever. Governor Warmoth was not a candidate for any office whatever at tbe re? cent election, nor have we, directly or Indirectly, any connection or affiliation wllh him, so far as his past career is concerned. There are few, ll any, members of this com? mittee who have not been among his ross : prominent opponents, while in those measure? of his administration for which he has been most loudly denounced he had for his advisors, associates and coadjutors tue very men who now assail bim, including especially Pinch back, Antoine, and numerous otners, whose names figure most conspicuously In these pro? ceedings. Io reply to the other Insinuations Indicated above, we declare that we are no parties to, and have .no knowledge of, any political trickery tntented to aid the true voice of the people; that we do not believe any such existed, and that we would not be here unless we could proclaim conscientiously our conviction that the men who have been foisted into the offices of the State have been not merely irregularly and unlawiully Installed, but were not elected by Lbe people, and were not, and are not, the choice of the mass of the voting population of Louisiana. We have not asked the govern? ment to admit this on our simple assertion. All we have asked Is that lt should make a candid and Impartial Investigation of the facts. With this preface we now. submit the follow? ing statement: > First. lucre was a general election held In Louisiana on the fourth* day of November last for the election ef a governor, lieutenant governor, members of the General Assembly ind other State and Federal officers. At thia sleotlon Wm. Pitt Kellogg, a member of the Senate ol the United States, and 0. 0. An? toine, a collector ot the port of Shreveport, were candidates for the offices of governor ind lieutenant-governor, and were opposed Dy John McEnry and Davidson B. Penn. The present Governor Warmoth was not a candi? date lor re-election. Second. This election wasgcouducted with? out riot, disturbance or violence, and the number ot voles cast was unusually large. EtelurnB ot the election were made to the Doard appointed tor the purpose. This board was composed of officers of the law, of Gov srnjr Warmoth, the lieutenant-governor, the secretary ot. State, anti two other persons i named lu the law, viz: Jno. Lynch and Tbos. < C. Anderson. The office of secretary ol State i waa filled at the lime by F. J. Herron, who < lad been appointed by Governor Warmoth to ? SU a vacancy caused by the removal, several j mouths before, of George E. Bovee, the legal- ; itv of which removal and appointment was i then in contest bet?re the State courts. The < hoard met, and lt was resolved that Ander- \ son and Plnctiback were disqualified by i reason ot their being Candidates for ? jfflce. Warmoth then removed Herron, < whom he had appointed, from the office of i Secretary ot Stale, as a defaulter, and appoint- < ad and commissioned Wharton In his etead. i We have no reason lo believe that the action < ot Governor Warmoth in the removal ol Her- i ron was based upon a desire to commit frauds; | lor, under the returns lhere was no necessity ( for fraud. It was prompted by his discovery ] of a plot between Herron and Lynch to falsify ] the returns and defeat the will of the people. < This ls manifest from the facts developed In i evidence before the court, ibat Herron, an- < ticlpatlng the thwarting of his scheme, had t several days before ordered a duplicate of j Che seal of Slate lo be engraved, by which < means he hoped lo preserve the Insignia of \ the office tn tne event of his removal by the < Governor. Omitting further details, War- < moih and Wharton, on the one hand, < assuming to be a majority ot the j board, and In the presence of Lynch, i proceeded to elect Hatch and Du ponte to Uli i the vacancies caused by the withdrawal ol i Plnchback and Anderson, while Lyuch and i Herron alterwards assembled, and, under the j same assumption, elected Longstreet and i Hawkins. Thus mere came to be two bodies; i each cl M ming to be the returning board. One < presided over by Governor Warmoth, the ? highest executive officer of the State, and, i under the law, the presiding officer of the i board, and which bad possession ot all the i election returns aud everything necessary to { ascertain the result, while the olher consisted ? of Lynch, the removed secretary of State, i Herron and their two appointees. After these i proceedings the State Supreme Court decided < ihat the removal et Bovee and the original j appointment ol Herron were Illegal, and Bo- j vee waB reinstated In his office. Whatever may be said of iheBe contesting boards lt ls clear that lbe courts of lbe United States bad 1 no semblance of authority to decide between j their conflicting claims to office. Third. After it bad become probable thal the two candidates, Wm. Pitt Kellogg and C. C. Autolne bad been defeated, and thal their opponents would be declared elected, they re? spectively filed bills In ihe Circuit Court of , the United State? for the District ol Louisiana , for Injunction and relief. The governor ol ' the State, the members of the canvassing board, other citizens of the Slate connected with the promulgation of the ret urna. and cer? tain persons elected or claiming to have been elected to the Legislature and to the governorship, were made defendants In one or other of these suits. , The cause of complaint was that they several? ly apprehended that they would be deprived of the offices for which they have been candi? dates. They claim to have had the majority of votes at the election, and that lhere had been ten thousand votes prevented from voting because ot their complexion or pre? vious stale of servitude, whose votes they would have received. The bill of Kellogg professed lo be for the preservation and per? petuation of lbe evidence of ihe election, and to have reference to the support ot a suit he might have to bring to recover the office. Antoine's suit was similar In the claims ot title, and had reference In Its prayers fir re? lief to i he organization of Ihe General Assem? bly at Its meeting under ihe proclamation ol the Governor on the 19ih day of December, 1872. Fourth. The parties to these stilts were all citizens of the Slate of Louisiana. The pur pose of the suits was to assert title to offices of the State In advance of any decision or an? nouncement by any board of any person as elected, and to determine the persons to make the decision and the announcement by the Ju? dicial authority of th3 Circuit Court ol the United States. Pondi og the suits an ex parte and private order wes made lo the suit of Kellogg to the effect that the defendant,.H. C. Warmoth, the governor, had, In violation of the restraining order of the conrt, issued a proclama tko and return of certain persons claiming to be the board of returning officers. Tbe terms of said order were as " fol? lows : "Now, there ore, to prevent tbe further obstruction ot tbe proceedings In this cause, and further to prevent the violation of orders cf this court and the Imminent danger of disturbing the public peace, lt ia hereby ordered tba* the marshal ot the United States for the District of Louis ana shall forthwith take possession ot th? building known as tte Mechanics1 Institute and occupied as a Statehouse tor the a?sem? en ne of the legislature therein, In tbe City of New Orleans, and bold the same subject to the further order of th's court, and meanwhile to prevent all unlawful assemblages therein under the guise or pretext ol au tho il ty claimed by virtue of a pretended canvass and returns made by the 1 aid returning officers In contempt and violaton ot said rest raining order; but the marshs 1 is directed to allow ingress ami egress to and from tbe public offices In said building 0/ persons entitled to tbe same." Fifth. The interlocutory and ex parte order In the suit of Antoine, the defeated can? didate for Lieutenant-Governor, seems to have been made as the complement to the order above quoted In the suit of Kellogg, wblcb directed the occupatio 3 oi the Stale cupllai by the marshal, with directions to prohibit what ls termed In the order "an unlawful assem? blage." while the sam ; marshal ls directed to allow tbe ingress and egress of persons be might determine to be entitled to such a privi? lege. This order In tbe case ol Antoine is comprehensive aod explicit; none can mistake Ka import, or its obje ;t. It ls, first, that tbe Governor of tbe Stale be enjoined and re? strained from examloing election returns, or counting votes, except in the presence ol officers designated lc the order.?, and from controlling, Interfering with, or attempt? ing to interfere with, the organization of the Slate Legislature, and from doing any act or from giving any order or direction or making aoy request which may directly or Indirectly prevent or binder any person from being present and takl og part in the organi? zation of the Benate called on the 9th 01 De? cember, or at any futu:e day, who m iy be re? turned as a member thereof by a board com? posed ot H. C. War 001 h. Geo. E. Bo vee, James Longstreet, Jaoob H ?wklns and John Lynch, and whose name hos been transmitted to Charles Merritt, secretary of the Senate, iy George E. Bovee, secretary ot State. 3ecood, that twenty named persons who bad seen candidates lor tue office of senator in the State Senate, and wno were supposed to liave been elected and bad been declared to De so, were enjoined and restrained irom par? ticipating In any manner In the organization ol the Senate, or doing at ,y act about that organ zatlon, unless their naines should appear on Bovee's list of names ol members of the B?n? ite as transmitted to Ute secretary of the Sen? ile, Charles Merritt. Third, about one hun lred persons, wboie names are given, 1 iv ho were au pp oped to be elected lo tho Rom e t Di Representatives ol' the General Assembly, md had been declared to be so elected, was 1 similarly enjoined iron participating In the 1 )rganizalion of the Ho ase of Representatives, \ Dr from doing any act or casting any vote. . ?nlesa their names irere on Bovee's list ci 1 nembers. Fourth, tho clerks of ibe Senate < ind of Ihe House of Representatives wete < leverally enjoined fror 1 placing on any Hst, or innounclng the nama of any member, cr rom recognizing as a nember, or d?signai lng 1 is a member, prior to or during the organiza- 1 lon of the respective houses, any person . phose name was not placed upon Bovee's litt, fifth, the secretary of the State, Bovee, ' vas enjoined from receiving returns of t he eleoiloo of State officers, or of membeis 1 >f the General Assembly, excepting such is Bhuuld be flied lu his office by the board somp'.sed of Warmoth, Longstreet, Hawkins,' ' Lynch and Bovee. Sixth, tbe chief of tho I netropollian police acd all of Us members, . lumbering about eight hundred, and the Doard, were enjoined irom interfering with 1 the organization or (he General Assembly, 1 ind not io prevent those on the board and ( 1st irom entering Into the hall of the Aseem )ly. Seventh, the parsons composing tbe Doard recognized by t.be governor were en- 1 olned from acting as a canvassing board, irom 1 ieclartng and publish ing any calculation or itatement or proclamation of the results, or ' granting certificates of election, or state- < nen ts tending to show any right to j Dfflce growing out of the ballots cast . it tbe said election. The marshal, assisted ' Dy a detachment Irom tbe army of 1 .he United States, nader those orders 1 ,00k possession of the State capital, , iud held lt on the 9ib of December when the General Assembly W'jre to come together ' loder the proclamation of the Governor. The < agrees and Ingress of versons were "regulated locordlog to this or 1er. A person named , Placbback took possession of the chair of the Senate and directed ids organization. He had I Deena se nator for a l>rm that had expired; 1 while he had been r resident ol the Senate, md in virtue of such presidency under tbe awe, he had acted as lieutenant-governor 1 liter the death of Dunn, the lleulenant-gov- 1 ;ruor chosen in 186;. But at the time of , .hese occurrences be was not merely iunctus iffiolo, as president of the Senate, but was 1 lot a senator, and had no lille or color | Di title io act as lieutenant-governor, or , ,0 take any part lc the organization o( , the Senate. The House ot Represent itives was also organized; Ihe postmaster ot < ?few Orleans Its spealter. Tbe certificates of Sovee, under the Injunction, were taken as , conclusive of memoorshlp. These bodied Dissed resolutions lor tbe Impeachment of the 1 Governor, and thus Pluchbacfc felt at liberty 1 .0 assume the title of Uovernor. Two district ( udgeships were abolished, and a new court, sailed the Superior Court, was established 1 il tb extraordinary powers, and among others c exclusive Jurisdiction to determine titles to t Dfflce, and Mr. Hawkins, one of the members DI' tue Bovee board,who had made the election -eturns, was made Judge. Steps having been 1 ?ken by tbe Goveruor, tn his official capacity, | .0 secure a revlalou by the Supreme Court ot ,he United Stales ot the cbanoery orders ol be United States Circuit Court, these bodies i forthwith adopted resolutions to dismiss 1 those proceedings. The militia was placed ( ander the command ot General James Long- j street, another mern ser of the Bovee board, 1 ind the arsenals were taken possession of by the aid of the United States army. It has c leen supposed that nc amount of professional . snergy or skill was adequate to make a coup le main In a chancery cause. This statement < shows that a ' civil resolution has been com- \ menoed, oairied on aid accomplished within . i lunar month under the orders of a chancery :ourt, In suits over which the courts had no > urlsdlctlon at all, wbelberof parties or sub- \ lect matter.

Dear readers-old folks, yoong folks, and lovers (for they are more or less of all ages) we salute yon most obsequiously this winter morning, so near the blessedest day of tbe year, and venture our fl nal warning to you to to ready to celebrate lt In beart and spirit j as it sbould be celebrated. This ls Christmas j Eve. The crowing ol the cock at dawn to morrow will usher in the grand old day Itself. "Soma say that ever gainst that srason comes Wherein our Saviour's birth ls celebrated, This bird ot dawning singeth all right long; And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad; The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike, No airy takes, nor wltcu hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious ls the time " Ko evil spirit walks to-night. Old Santa Claus bas the field undisputed and alone. Bright angels, with golden wings, with sweetest sleep and fairest boding dreams come to the pillows whereon the little ones Ile snugly nestled, and fan them Into uncon cious smiles. Tbe tiny stockings await the contributions of the good old Saint Let not the dreams of tbe little innocents lack a gene? rons fulfilment I We hope that people bare been aided by these Infallible chronicles in their hunt for things appropriate for tbe day. and now, as this is the last chance, let na glance once more at the columns o?

Hiss Mary Bates, of Boa-1 on, and other friends in Baltimore, bave sent j is a donation to the home a choice collection jf articles of Swifs manufacture, which will ne offered for sale to-day, between twelve and .tiree o'clock. An opportunity will be afford? ;d to purchase them, also, every day of this week. The Home Christmas tree is to be re* | realed on Thursday, the 26th Instant. The "rienda who, in the past, have so generously .emembered this occasion are begged not to brget lt now. New York has Ks A. T.

In what are called the good old ;lmes before the war, Charleston never had i handsomer or more fashionable dry goods smporlum than lt can now point to at No. 276 IlDg street. It were difficult to gay which s more to be au mired, this elegant assort- J nent of dry goods, or the Imposing stjle n which they are displayed. In Its every-day Ltllre throughout the year, this establishment s most attractive, but now, decked a* lt la In ?oliday garb, and with Its stock enlarged and mproved to suit the demands of the 6eaeon, t ls an institution which reflects credit upon 3harleston, and of which Its enterprising and merge tl c proprietors may. well be proud. Look here upon this picture and on that. J pon this which was taken In second-class ind careless stjle. and on that which bears he imprint of Bonder's artistic skill. If there ie any photographic artist who really bolds he mirror up lo nature and shows os onr mage as lt appears to other's eyes, il ls tbe 'Xperienced and energetlo Sonder. His pho* ograpb gallery, though not quite as large as brady's In New York, Is in all other essential .espeots equal thereto. Even though we may lot wish to sit for our counterfeit present* nents, Bonder's establishment will well repay i visit of inspection. "Break we our watch up," said Horatio to ils friends, and should have added, "and .hen let us procure a better one, by going to Ulan's, No. 307 King street." Horatio, how? ever, bad nt ver seen Allan's-had never en* oyed a Bight ot his elegant silverware, bis roid opera and vest chains, and his flue matchee. He bad never seen the wonderful nee h an leal bird, which, almost a thing of life, lings "like seven bells." Call at Allan's, iee the bird, and procure a Christmas pres )nt for some loved one. And still with a eong, not of dolorous pitch, we slog the song of the shirt-of Scott's cele-1 Drated star shirts. Scott's new and handsome I ilgn at his old establishment, near the corner it Meeting and Market streets, is one of the jlgnB of ihe tlmeB, but his establishment ls :oo weil known to need it. No one lu want }f anything in the line ol men's furnishing roods can go into Scott's, with greenbacks in pooket, and emerge therefrom scot free. And jo, still with a voice at Christmas pltob, oh, et the sounds reach pooi and rieb, we Bing :he song ol: the shirt. Mr. D. F.
