This bill has been before the committee lor a long time, and been pressed at eachjsesalon o? Con? gress since the war. The bill now provides that the taxes and costs of sale be deducted from the proceeds, and the difference be re? funded to the owner, who, where Buch lands are occupied, ny bona fide purchasers, must execute a lease to the occupant. The amount to be affected by the bill ls about $700, ooo, The session is probably too near a dose to ad? mit o? the discussion that must necessarily follow, and tbe bili may go over to the next Congress for that reason." -A Washington telegram says : "The re? port of Judge Poland's committee on tbe Credit Mobliier will probably be presented on Monday next. After full consultation the out? lines ol tbe report have been fixed. In order to test the sense o? the committee, the first proposition submitted was that the testimony taken should be reported, and that action ppon lt should be left with tbe House. This, lt ls reported, was rejected ucanimousij question of jurisdiction thea came up, ; was suggested that a strong report stio submitted, oondemni J jthe action of the bers of Congress implicated, but dec tbat there was no Jurisdiction to pass ment upon members of tbe present Cot for acts committed In a former Con. After discussion this was defeated by i ol four to one. The committee then i mously decided what their report shou and the best Information leads to the among those who have taken some pal inquire, tbat while the report will dt that it has no Jurisdiction, and can mal recommendations with regard to Vice-: dent Colfax or tbe senolora Implicated committee being exclusively a House coi tee,) they will recommend declBlve adi the cases of all tboee members of the t who have been implicated. The New Way to Pay Old Debts One of the delegates on the floor ot Augusta Convention objected strenuous a resolution for the appointment of a i mitteo to memorialize Congress for ai propriation to aid in tbe construction railroad from Augusta to Chicago, main reason for this opposition was tnt disapproved of asking any favors frou United States Government. Another < gale very sensibly said that, as the Nati Government bad assisted other sectioi the Union, it would be tbe best policj the South to take all the assistance could get. Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken South Carolina, followed on the same : saying that tbe Sooth should take what help ihe National Government was dispi to give. The President of the Convon thought that the appeal to Congress m produce a division of sentiment among people of Georgia, and tbe resolutiot strike ont the clause authorizing the ap was agreed to by the Convention. -There were probably other than pc cal or sentimental reasons wby the Augi Convention should decline to petition C gress for the building of a new railroad 1 as well as a system of canals between West and tbe South Atlantic ports; but general question whether tbe Sooth States are justified in accepting such E stantiol help as the Federal Governmen disposed to give is one which cannot soon be considered and decided. Aire) Congress is urged to rebuild tbe Mlssissi levees, and to undertake other vast worki internal improvement, for the immed? benefit of the Sooth, and for the bene through the South, of the whole couDt And General B. F. Butler, squinting at I White House from afar, proposes that I General Government pay off the debts the Southern States. This scheme, sta ling as it may seem, bas strength in it. T Southern members of Coogress, acting ai unit, can, with a very small support from t North and West, secure Its adoption, or ci elect a President, the main plank in who platform shall be, the payment, by the Unlt< States, of the fonded indebtedness of tl Sooth. This proposition can be defend? apon the broadest grounds of equity at justice. In the Beveral States the public debt co stats of two classes-that which was co traded before tbe war, and that which h been contracted since the war ended. Fi tbe first class of debts there was security thousand fold, antil tbe emancipation of tl slaves swept away a great part of the weal of the Southern whites. The slaves were part of the security to tbe public for tl debts which the South contracted. It not just tbat the States should be force to pay those debts, when property to tl value of oue thousand million dollars has bec destroyed by war, and when, besides, tb value of the remaining property is serious diminished by the changes consequent upo emancipation. The second class of debta those contracted since tbe end of the war represents the first cost of reconstructs It ls not necessary to determine what prc proportion is doe to downright stealing and what proportion is due to the inexperi ence of the Legislatures, and to the neces sarily heavy borden Imposed upon the gov ?rnments for the education and protect io; of the freedmen. The debts contract?e aluce the war are the direct and immediati reault of that legislation by Congress whicl placed the Southern States in the banda o Incapable, If well-meaning, colored men ant shrewd, if rascally, white adventurers. It ii not just that the whole South should b< made to bear the coat of the work whicl Congress began and completed. Had no Congress interfered, the debt of South Caro Una to-day would Dot have exceeded sever or eight million dollars. It is nominally twice that amount. Where, then, ia the im propriety of requiring of the Federal Gov? ernment auch money help as will give thin State, and every other Southern State, a fair start, and apare them the evils of repu? diation aod grinding taxation ? There are, however, aome persona lu the South who object to accepting anything from the General Government, because, in their opinion, auch a course would hasten Ihe centralization of the government. To these gentlemen we say: "The South can "neither roll oack tbe wheel, Dor arrest ita "onward course. And the South cannot "aflord to play the disinterested patriot, "wheo the North and West are thrusting ..their arma to the elbow in the National ..strong box. The refusal of the 8outh to "take what she can get will be loudly ap? plauded, but the men who shout the loud "est will be tbe ti rat to take what the South "rejects. No! The South, for her whole "people, hos claium equal to thC3e of West "or North. And when these sections think "they have spent money enough, and have "gone far enough on tbe road to imperial? ism, let them set the example of purity "and self-denial aod the South will Dot be "far behind. In tbe meanwhile it is clearly "the plain interest of the South to obtain "every possible subsidy aod privilege from "Congress; and io future political cam "palgoa the practice should be to support "the party, whatever Its name, wblch guar "aotees most to the South. Cause this to "be understood, and the two parties will "bid against each other for the 138 electoral "votea which the South can give. Tbe "South then can make what terma abe "pleases." And with her debt lifted off ber back, and fair play in WashingioD, the South will stride forward with wonderful rapidity accomplishing more than ever before for ber own development and for the advancement of the general prosperity. The State University. The General Assembly on Friday elected four of the seven trustees of the University o? South Carolina. They are S. J. Lee, James A. Bowley, S. A. Swails and J. R. Jervey; all of them colored men, and mem? bers of the Legislature. There ts too much reason to fear that this choice is an indica? tion of a determination to raise anew the question of race, and to force colored youths into the highest educational institution in the State. Perhaps one colored boy in a thousand may be able to pass the matricu? la tory examination and enter th? University; and, for the sake of the few, the interests of the many are to be ruthlessly sacrificed. We take it for granted that when the colored students ge in the white students will go out. Arad what will be gained ? Only the needless assertion of the right of the colored people to have educational means equal to those enjoyed by the whites. This right we frankly concede, but we do not concede the right of the Legislature to require the two j races to sit on the same benches and to stand in the same classes for nine or ten months of { the year. The attempt will fail, and ihe whites, not the blacks, will be deprived Of their sLare of education at the public ex? pense. No one objects lo giving the blacks just as good schools os are given to the whites. They are entitled to have such schools; but in what does it advance the dignity of the blacks to put them in a Behool, or college, merely beci"" ' has hitherto been attended by whites alone This is not the course which wonld be taken by those who sincerely desire to cultivate the self respect, and elevate the characcer, or the col? ored citizens or tbe Stale. After tbe Seottltea. The members or the Wilmington (N. C.) Chamber or Commerce bave taken up the matter or the discrimination against local freights practiced by the railroads under the control ol the Southern Security Company. A committee bas been appointed "to de-1 "maud relier," and, failing to obtain it from tbe railroad officials, to memorialize the Legislature on the subject. The Wilming? ton Star, which has led the attack upon the monopolists, is confident that the raiders "who have seized the lines of trade and "travel" will And lhat "Ihe voice or an out? raged people" is more potent than Tom Scott and bis cohorts. Spirit of th?

It asks, Why is there not more action ? -The Abbeville Press thinks that some? thing ought to be done io encourage immigra? tion, and that right soon. Labor, lt says, ls tbe crying need, and three-fourths of our lands He Idle for ihe want of lt. -The Torkvllle Enquirer argues that South Carolina does not need fewer agriculturists, but needs more persons engaged In the olher avocations of Ute. It says : "Ia varions sec '.Hons ol the State lhere are rich beds of iron "ore. Our prosperity requires that these be "opened. It every bale of colton that ls "raised in the State were manufactured In the "State, things would soon assume a different "aspect There would be more conon and "corn, and wheat and rye and oats and barley "and rice made by the same amount ol labor "than ls made at present; and the price of j "these productions of the soil would be [ "greater. There ls no reason why this may "not be done. There ls waler power In the "upper cooties of the Stale sufficient to man "factnre every pound or cotton produced In "the State. This ls not a bold, extravagant "declaration. There ls water power In York "County sufficient to manufacture all the cot- j "ton produced In any ten counties in the [ "State. Unless a diversified sytem ol labor is "adopted In our State, things will go on Just { "as they now are. The land will wear out, "ihe houses rot down, and the people of the "Slate get up and go to some 'new country,' "there to pine and grieve and wish ibey were "back. Some will be ashamed to return, and "others will be too poor to allow them lo get "back." -The Orangeburg News Insists that the Legislature shall not adjourn until the fence question is thoroughly discussed. -Tbe Marlboro' Times is confident that President Grant's tour ibrough the South will show him that the ex-rebela are disgracefully misruled and plundered, and that the only seeds ol discord here are sown by Northern meo. The President wili return to Washing? ton a wiser man, knowing that Southerners are not what ihey are represented to be. New Booka. Under the title of "Tales Curious and Won? derful," the Messrs. Harper are now publish? ing, by rapid Instalments, a series ot (illus? trated) narratives for children. The selec? tion, editorship and general supei vision ol the volumes of ibis series have been entrusted lo the care of Mrs. Craik, (n?e Mulock,) who, as the author of "John Halifax" and aecore of | other novels, equally able and high-toned and instructive, ls universally known, and univer? sally respected. Certain special powers Mrs. Craik possesses, which befit her, beyond al? most any other writer of ihe day, tor the deli? cate task ot preparing mental and moral pabulum, lo be administered lo the young. In ibe first placo, she Is, what many women are not-pre eminently a motherly person; her Instinctive attachment to children manifesting itself continually In her works. lu ibe second place, she has retained a great deal of the pu? rity, innocence and enthusiasm ol her own youth; and thirdly, her temperament ls mag? netic, and full of that vivid sympathy which wins the hearts ol children without the slight? est conscious effort. The three last volumes of the series now belore us are, "The Adventures o?a Brownie, "os told to my Child," (written by Mrs. Craik herself,) "An Only Sister," (from the French of Madame Oe Witte,) and "ls lt True, (a collection of miscellaneous tales in a variety of styles, and treating of many dif? ferent topics.) The "Brownie" story is charming. It in? troduces ns to a grotesque, but wonderfully clever goblin, of Ibe amiable kind, who pro? vider, lor his childish companions many origi ual sports, and ls only enough of a "tricksy "spirit" himsell to garnish his games with a soup?on of humor and aron mischief, never be !t remarked-degenerating Into spite. In "An Only Sister" we have a work both opportune and interesting. The author paints therein "real French life, and the real French "woman in her noblest type-highly cultiva "ted, yet domestic, clever alike-with head "and hands keenly alive lo all family ties and "duties-energetic, conscientious, self-deny "Ing, brave." "Such," we are told, "may "still be found in every corner of that suf? fering laud, worthy descendants of the "old Huguenot age, and Catholic dames "too, who once helped to make France glorl "ouB." In these dark days, when dynasty alter dynasty has crumbled away, when her "Illy" Ilea broken, her "beeB" are dumb, and her "eagle" b^s changed into the commonest of birds, lt ls pieasact to put forward ae a true picture of the women ot France, Mad. De Witte's "Elizabeth." Through tbe tales gathered under the genial title of "Is It True," there ^s running a clear thread of right and wrong, as is often the case with legends which deal with the super? natural world. In them, also, we find that virtue ls always rewarded, and vice punished; for "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small I" It le precisely thle lesson, or the spirit incul? cated by it, which consecrates (as Mrs. Craik j justly observes) the "true untruth and the "wise foolishness of fairy tales, and Indeed of j "all Imaginative literature." We are indebted to the Harpers for a neat edition (with clever wood cuts) of Charles Meade's last novellelte, "Tne Wandering Heir." Or ibis narrative, lt may be Bald that incidents BO improbable, as to verge upon the impossi? ble, are detailed with a matter-of-fact air, and c. minuteness so wonderful and vivid thal one ls nearly deceived, for a time, Into believing j the most preposterous extravagances. Indeed, the whole story seems to us an odd combina? tion of the biiarre fancies of Dumas, and the plain, sober, yet searching style ol De Foe; not the De Foe who composed "Robinson Crusoe," but the De Foe of "Colonel Jack," "Moll Flanders," Ac. But whatever may be urged lor or against "The Wanderlog Heir" as a work of art, we defy anybody lo begin Its perusal without going breathlessly on lo the dramatic, and exhilarating, and somewhat unexpected denoutmirU.'
