COLUMBIA. Wednr?day Morning, Feb. 14, 1886. Th? Situation. Wo publish this morning, in addi? tion to the speech we published yes? terday, the President's address to a delegation from Montana Territory. In these addresses there is no room for mistake. The President, as tho Richmond DixpatcJi observes, speaks so pat and-plain to the faotions de? monstration in Congress that it might be pronounced tlie Epistle of Andrew to Thaddeus. Thaddeus would have had Andrew's head in a charger; but this epistle banishes thc "vain thought." L. We recommend the speeches to our readers. The President rises in dig? nity , as $ie ^displays, the attributes -vfbtetvbofifc- hun for ilie storm that howls nronnd him. In all history, it is shown that miserable political trick? sters, engaged in hatching troubled and strife for their country, always cower and fall before the force of manly courage and determination. The moment plotters of mischief are bravely and firmly met where they had hoped to inspire apprehension and dismay, they are more than half conquered. The Proaident has but to maintain his position, and the con? spirators, who are as weak as they are malignant, will soon be incapable of doifcghim or the country harm. ? i- '. j # ? THK CHERAW ADVERTISER.-We have received the first number of a new journal, published at Oheraw, under the above title. It is a neatly printed paper, and under the manage? ment of W. L. T. Prince, an old editor, will doubtless do well. Ex^Qoy. A. B. Loman, an old and honored-son of Louisiana, died sud? denly in New Orleans, on the 4th. RECONSTRUCTION.-The Joint Com , ? Reconstruction lias, as pre? viously stated, been divided into five sub-committees, of three members each. They are as follows: 1. Senators Fessenden and John? son and Representative Stevens, to whom is entrusted the general busi? ness of the committee, and the nomi? nation of pensons* on the condition of the South as a whole. 2. Senator Grimes and Representa? tives Bingham and Griller, who make the required investigation as to Ten? nessee. 3. Senator Howard and Represen? tatives Conklin and Blair, who collect evidence respecting Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina. 4.. Senator Harris and Repr?senta? tives Morrill and Boutwell, to ' exa? mine witnesses regarding the situation in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. 5. Senator Williams and Represen? tatives Washburn and Rogers, who are making the necessary inquiries about Florida, Louisiana and Texas. COST OP PROTECTION.-It is gratify? ing to notice that the great West is awakening to the enormity of the pro? tective system, and that it is largely discussed in the journals without dis? tinction of party. A correspondent of tho Chicago Tribune (radical) thus computes thc cost of protection: ' 'Let me illustrate it. The law says I shall pay a tax of sixty per cent, on woolen cloth, while tho maker of tho cloth shall pay to the Government only five per cent, of this tax. Fifty five per cent., then, is taken from me and given to him. To make the case plainer, suppose the cloth can be imported for one dollar per yard. Government steps in and says, 'You shall not havo this cloth at a dollar a yard; you shall buy cloth of a Massa? chusetts manufacturer at ono dollar and sixty cents per y.'.rd, and he will pay into thc Treasure fivo cents per' yard, and keep the other fifty-five cents, to encourage him to repeat tho operation or? yon.' Now, this is sheer-piracy under the form* of law. Put it to one hundred men, unbiased by political affinities, and ninety-nine will say at once that it-is not merely a swindle, but down-right larceuj-." The National Intelligencer, referring lo the late brutal speech of Thad. Stevens, on the negro equality amend? mentto the Constitution, thus char? acterizes the man: "In so far as pretense of argument is concerned, or dignity of parliamentarianism, or decency of expression, or respect of constitutional law, or comity JUS a sup? posed publicist, or as a man of pre? tended honor, or of imagined human qualities, Mr. Stevens fails to make an impression on one honorable mind in all thc land." -. A London correspondent of the Tribune says: There has been another meeting of the Confederate cotton bond-holders, who are still hoping they will be repaid. Money, they say, must borrow for the South, and ni order to obtain it, the?old loan must be paid np. They have appointed commissioners to enforce the claims. William and Robert Chamber?. V Work makes the man, the want of work, the follow; Tho rest is ail but loather and proiudla." We have substituted the word work for worth, and riiade th? poet speak more pointedly to the purpose. No better illustration cnn be afforded of the value of* work than what the career of William and Robert Gham bers afford. Political economists have proved that a commodity or product is not valuable merely be? cause it is useful or durable, but it is valuable when, in addition to these qualities, it can only be procured or enjoyed through the intervention of labor. It cannot justly be said that food or clothes are more useful than atmospheric air; and yet they aro possessed of that value in exchange, of which the latter is wholly desti? tute. The reason is that food, and clothes are not, likewise, gratuitous products; they cannot be had at all times in any quantity, and enjoyed without any voluntary exertion. On the contrary, labor is always required for their production or appropriation, or both ; and os no on? will volunta? rily sacrifice the fruits of his industry without receiving an equivalent, they are truly said to possess an exchange? able value. The Chambers were ushered into this existence about the beginning of this century. William is the eldest by two years. They are natives of Peebles, a pleasant town in Tweed? side. They were thrown in lx>yhood on their own resources, and opened two book-stalls in Edinburgh. By slow degrees they increased their bu? siness, and with it, their acquaint? ance with literary people, among whom were Walter Scott, Professor Wilson, and Jeffrey. William had meanwhile learned the art of print? ing, and to eke out the profits of his slender trade, ho worked at case and press himself. Being in want of some large types, which were beyond his means of purchasing, he cut the letters in wood; and, on another oc? casion, bound with his own hands the whole impression of a small volume, which he had first printed on his own account. An old gentleman, who was accus? tomed to pass through Leith Walk at a late hour, records that he never failed to observe that whilst all the rest of the street was shrouded in darkness, lights invariably gleamed from the windows of William Cham? bers' printing room, where the sounds of his ever-toiling press continued to break the silence of the night. Ro? bert was not less assiduous; em? ployed himself to collect materials for his ' 'Traditions of Edinburgh, " which appeared in 18*24. He followed up the work by his "Popular Rhymes of Scotland," "Picture of Scotland," "ScottishRebellion," "Life of James I," &c, &c. In 1829, the brothers worked in a joint enterprise-"A Gazetteer of Scotland. " In 1832, they began the famous "Edinburgh Journal;" next tho "Penni/ Maga? zine." Thc Journal reached 72,000 copies. The success of the Journal induced the brothers to fix their es? tablishment in High street, where their handsome printing ofiice and warehouse now stand, one of the most conspicuous* establishments of Edinburgh. Thence were issued a series of publications, too numerous to. bo crowded into a newspaper co I lumu. Their establishment occupied upwards of 200 workmen. The depth of their premises on High street is 268 feet, with a front of 45 feet. Their chief printing room, a spacious hall, lighted from thc roof, gives accommodation to ten printing ma? chines, with a high-pressure steam engine of ten-horse power. The number of sheets printed in this apartment, during a month, does not fall short of 700,000; tho number of sheets printed annually averages 10, 000,000, paying about ?3,000 of ex? cise duty. SAILE. The crazy rates at which rents are ! advanced in New York is exhibited j in the following incident, related in I the Journal of Commerce: "A dry j goods firm have ranted a store for the j current year at $15,000. The owner called on them a few weeks since to I ask their intentions for-ftnother year'. i-Tll?y expressed a wish to romain if : the terms were made agreeable. He j offered to treat them fairly, and sug I gested that 840,000 per annum, for a I three years' lease, would be a reason ? able advance. They indignantly re ! fused to treat, and he left. After a few hours search for another place, they concluded to pocket their indig? nation and accede to the terms. Calling on the owner for this purpose, ? ?hey learned that they we? too late, j the premises having been leased for ! three years at 850,000 per annum, i A further search left them'hopeless of ! securing anything more olligible. and J they have purchased the lease of the new parties for a bonus of 810,000." The New Berne Times, of Satur? day, relates the following incident as having occurred in Craven County a few days ago: "Ten negroes from the Staunton farm, a few miles out of town, with Frank, a man formerly belonging to Mr. Nathaniel Street, of this County, as their leader, went to the house of a Mr. Hezekiah Davis, on Core Creek, and while attempting to enter Iiis premises, Mr. Davis killed the leader and two others out? right, and wounded the fourth." "Veto or tho Btll to Amend th- Patrol The veto message of Governor Orr will be found below, and we give it a place because it is the first veto mes? sage sent to the General Assembly under the new Constitution. Under the Constitution of 1791, the Go ver nor did not possess the veto power. As the message was received very late in the day preceding-?lfe adjournment, it was not finally disposed of by the Senate: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Columbia, December 10, 1865. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Senate: I cannot approve the bill, which originated in the Senate, entitled "An Act to amend thc Patrol Laws," and the Constitution of this State makes it obligatory on me to return it, with my objections, "to that House in which.it shall have origi? nated." An Ordinance was ratified by the State Convention on the 27th of Sep? tember last, entitled "An Ordinance to declare in force the Constitution and laws heretofore in force in this State, and tho Aets, official, public and private, done, and appointments and elections made, under authority of the same." The second section declares all laws, &c, of this State in force which were of force on the 19th of December, 1860. The third sec? tion declares that all laws passed since that date are of force until repealed, ?fcc. : Provided, however, That all laws, resolutions, orders or rules embraced within "the terms of this and the pre? ceding section, which recognize the existence of slavery, aud regulate the relations of master and slave, and define and enforce the rights and duties growing thereout, or create and punish offences against such rights, or against the public policy of the State in reference to slavery, have become of no further or future force or effect by reason of the extinction of slavery." The Act of 1839 is entitle^ "An Act to reduce all Acts and clauses of Acts in relation to the patrol of this State into one Act, and to alter and amend the same," and was intended solely to secure subjection and subor? dination of the negro race. Every section in the b?l was intended to sustain "the public policy of the State in reference to slavery," and the Convention, by solemn Ordi? nance, has declared that laws for that purpose "have become of no further or future force." Is not, therefore, all the provisions of the Act of 1839, and amendments thereto, as effectu? ally repealed as the Act of 1740, oi any other law recognizing or regular ing slavery? If an Ordinance of a Convention can repeal a law, there would seem to be little doubt thai every enactment in this State as to a patrol had been effectually swept from the statute book. The first section of the bill under consideration, in repealing the eleventh, twelfth, thir? teenth, and fifteenth sections of th? Act of 1839, assumes that all tht other sections of the Act aro still oi force. The Constitution of the Statt recognizes the universal freedom o: the African race, and prohibits theil re-enslavement. The Ordinance o: the Convention expressly repeals al laws regulating the institution, ant this assumption of the bill is entireb inconsistent with both. Is not tin provision in the fifth section of tin Act, which authorizes the patrol t< take up all slaves found without tin limits of their owner's plantation and give them moderate whipping and in the sixth section authorizinj and requiring tho patrol to enter inb any disorderly house, vessel or boat suspected of harboring, trafficking o dealing with negroes, whether th. same bc occupied by white persona free negroes, mulattoes, mestizoes o slaves, and to correct all slaves foun< there, and to report thc free negroe to a magistrate, and to retain th products of traffic till inquired into just as inconsistent with the freedon of the negro as the sections proposoi to be repealed by this bill? I am entirely satisfied that th whole Act, for the reasons stated, i no longer law in South Carolina, an I am unwilling to jaise a question b now. repealing some sections and a lowing others to remain. I object to the second section of th j bill, bocifu.se it undertakes, among.' other things, to interfere with th private rights and business of th citizen, when the public safety dot not require such interposition. The citizen, resitfcnt or sojournei who hires fifteen or more laborer; whether white or colored, is mo? competent to determine what supei vision his laborers may require. ] his laborers become troublesome t his neighbors by tumultuous or dil orderly conduct, they may be indicte and punished. If they rob and plui der, the law will avenge the onfcrag on the individual and on society. Now that freedom has been accori ed to the African race m our mids duty and policy alike admonish us t give him all the concomitants or*wh? he regards so great a boon. Emai cipation has changed our relations t him most essentially. So long as h was a slave, though his moral trail ing Avas not neglected, it was on policy to prohibit him from learnin to read and write. Now it is on policy to enlighten and elevate him for it makes him moro trustworthy and reduces crime and pauperism i onr midst. ? nm Ti Til MI i. In every staveholding country- the owners have endeavored, by stringent legislation and ?1 rigorous police, io guard against the dangers ?f revolt and insnrrection-insurrection to se? cure freedom; this, was the reason why the legislation in the South re? quired the presence of a white man on every farm or plantation where there were ten or more slaves, that a vigilant watch might be kept over them and their movements. The ne? cessity has ceased, and thc law should be ignored. A well digested law,, organizing a proper police force to aid the magis? tracy in suppressing" lawlessness and in enforcing law and order in the community, might prove a safe-guard to society, but the operations of tho bill under consideration, in my judg ent, would be most pernicions. _JAMES L. ORB. Fun tl H for Mrs. Jackson. The following letter from this esti? mable lady explains itself: COTTAGE HOME, N. C., Jan 2<\ 1806. MY DEAR Sot: Your letter of tho 3d inst, was forwarded to me from Lexington, "Virginia. I have delayed answer for a few days, hoping to re? ceive tho paper to which you referred, but it has not yet reached me, and I have not had the pleasure of read? ing your editorial; bnt, judging from the remarks ia your letter, I suppose it is a similar publication to what has recently appeared in many of the newspapers, representing the family of Genend Jackson as suffering for the necessaries of life, and appealing to the public for their relief. It is a source of deep regret and mortification to mc, and to my family and friends, that such a misunder? standing should exist in regard to my circumstances. It is true, that almost the whole of my . little fortune has been swept away. My noble husband, actuated by patriotism, invested in Confederate bonds, to assist the Go? vernment, and I following his ex? ample, the consequence was the loss of nearly the whole of his estate; but God has still left to me one of the kindest of fathers, who has the means of providing all the comforts of life for me and my orphan child. Thc pecuniary sufferings of others in our afflicted land have been so much greater than my own, that, in this re spoct, I have only need of a more thankful heart. And I, of all others, should have no fears for the future, for the covenant-keeping God of ?ny husband has watched over us hereto? fore, audthelove of this great people to me "and my little child on his ac? count, ftlls my heart with grateful joy While it is one of the greatest comforts of my desolated life to see the many beautiful and eloquent tri? butes to the memory of my beloved husband, and I would gratefully accept any offerings that are volunta? rily given as testimonials of love and gratitude to him, yet the contributions that are now called for are given under a false, impression, and it is in? consistent -with ideas of honor and rectitude to receive them. I "would, therefore, beg that all efforts 1 nat are made to raise a fund for my "relief," both in Charleston and elsewhere, bo immediately stopped. With thanks to the warm-hearted and generous citizens of Charleston for their kind feelings towards me and mine, I remain yours, very truly, MARY ANN JACKSON. GEO. R. CATHCART, Editor Charles? ton Daily Neies. ft?"" My address is Charlotte, N. C., care of Mr. James P. Irwin. WHITE LABOR vs. BLACK. -Yester? day, we met several friends who are I large planters in Mississippi, who ! have been here for sonio days trying to secure negroes to work their plan? tations, but had, as they informed us, given up tho idea in despair, as in the first platte, they had to employ negro agents, at exorbitant prices, to drum up tho negroes, and after they had been found, they demanded on the spot a "bounty," and in nearly every case those wlio received this bounty "jumped"-or, to uso English, went off with the bonus, and failed to ap? pear at -tho time appointed; and in this manner tho few who were se? cured, cost the planters so much that their labo.- would fail to bo remune? rative, and in this dilemma they had resolved to try white labor, and leave Sambo to sun himself on the corners at his leisure, and telegraphed to New York for eniigrunts, a large number of whom aro expected to arrive dur? ing the week. To them, tho mooted question of "will the negroes work?" has been solved, the many statements of the "so-called" friends of the negro to the country; and we think a stroll through South Memphis, any day, would satisfy the niost,skeptical mind that Sambo has no fancy for the cot? ton or cane field, but prefers to bask in the sunshine, and trust to luck for his sustenance.-Memphis Apipeal. The Monroe (Louisiana) Intelli? gencer says that the planters in the neighborhood of Ouachita have com? menced walking in earnest. Most of them have secured the services of as many laborers as they need, and are putting their plantations in order to make a crop. The freedmen ?ire work? ing faithfully. The Liquor Association in Indiana, having many of their members indict? ed for selling liquor on Sunday, are preferring cliarges against, printing offices, street railroads, hotels, drug B'ores, etc., for pursuing their usual avocations on that dav. Tornado in (?corgi*. A correspondent, writing from New? bery, Georgia, gives the particulars of a tornado of unparalleled fury. One woman was blown a distance ot 400 yards; her house was found 100 yards distant from the foundation of thc house, fragments of which fell six miles distant. The writer says: Thc tornado struck the earth in two columns-a little to the rear and immediately to the right and left of the Rev. J. L. K. Smith's dwelling and converging to a point correspon? dent to the course of the two clouds before mentioned, joined their forces from fifty to seventy-five yards dis? tant, and thou, with united volume, swept Northward to the tannery of Jomes H. Robinson, where, after c'e molishing the bark mill and unroof? ing another building, it left the earth -leaving its future course to be I known? oniy by scattered garments and broken fragments of wood I dropped'iniles away. Thus the whole I compass of its visible ravages is com? prised within an area not exceeding [ 200 yards in width and half a mile in j length. The track of its chief vio? lence is even much narrower than this. Scarcely n, tree is left standing where it passed-of the fallen ones, some lie at every point of the com? pass. This fact may be attributable I to the general rush of the winds from I the four quarters of the Heavens or ! the whirl afterwards. But it is not my purpose to philosophize-if I could-I only state facts. Suffer me to say, however, that if this imper? fect sketch should meet the eye of the venerable Dr. Mans, I hope it will be consistent, both with his pleasure and his convenience, to favor your numer? ous readers with his views upon these remarkable and fearful phenomena ol the winds. But the general- nish ol winds was Northward-as evidenced by the drift of timbers and the bodies of the dead. The whirling nature ol the winds is manifested by the debris scattered upon either hand. As tc the direct force of the wind, I give, for the present, one noteworthy in? stance : A green oaken board, after being carried some three or four hundred yards, was driven to the depth ol seven inches into the cleft of a white oak, as if with a maul swung witt giant power. In the immediate traci of the storm, the rain fell in torrents, while outside of it, at least for any distance, there was but little, and the ground over which the fury of tht tornado passed is covered over witt rifts, such as are usually to be seen upon the banks of running stream.' after great freshets. These are th? prominent characteristics of both th< hurricane and tornado blended it this wonderful phenomenon of na ture. Some also represent it as having been attended by a glowing appear ance; but few saw it, passing, os i did, with almost cannon ball velocity Every oiu uuilding through th< entire course of the tornado from th? point of first attack-beginning witl barn and stables of the Rev. Mr Smith-was swept away, some o them to their very foundations. Th( same is true of fencings. In on< case, where there was a lane, the railt were heaped promiscuously betweei the two. Of the four dwellings occu pied by white families, only one, th a of Mr. Joseph Kinney, was lef standing, roof broken in and shat tered. Outside of the main channel the house of Mr. Beeland was dam aged by flying timbers. The build ing occupied by Mrs. Moss was car ried away to the floor, which wa literally covered with the debris o chimneys and the tops of falle] trees; yet of the seven in the hous at the time, all escaped with life sav one, youngest son of Mrs. Lue; Jones. Dink Moss, J. Wyatt, Jr. Lucy and Nancy Jones, badly injured particularly the first named. Strang to say, a child of Mrs. Nancy Jone crawled from beneath a fallen tre with hardly a scratch. Tho kitche: was occupied by Burrel Rinfor (colored) and his wife ^ind anothc woman. Of-tn'ese,~Burrel was blow: to TS distance of fifty yards, aui killed. His wife was severely ix jured. She was carried twi06-48rt^ air, and says she saw fragments c timber flying thick as leaves in a autumnal gale. The dwelling of Dr. James H Montgomery was lifted from its four dations, turned over and dashed t pieces. Himself and wife were st verely injured; little daughter slight ly; his son escaped unharmed. But the residence of Mr. J. C Bailey suffered most, both as to itse! and inmates, Mr. Bailey being foun dead at the distance of 100 yards, an his wife at the dislance of 300 or 40 yards. This building encountere the fiercest assault of the tornade and was better calculated to test it strength than either of the othe mentioned, being new, large an built of heavy material, but was as feather before it. Its lighter matt rial, such os roofing, planking, sas and window blinds, were carried fa away, showers of their fragment fulling six miles and more distanl Even of its heaviest timbers, fe1 were left near its former site, manye ttl em being thrown to a distance* c hundreds of yards. One in partier hu-, a foundation sill, forty pr fift feet long and some twelvo inche square, passed above some buildings 200 yards distant, and fell in a stree in a broken, shivered condition. . reasonable supposition is, that th i building, containing its doomed o< capante, was lifted up from its four dation eutire, and torn to fragment as hurried on by the whirling stern Iiooal Items.

VALENTINE'S DAY.-To-day is the day sa crod to St. Valentine, a presbyter, who, according to the legend, was beheaded at Borne, under Claudius. Mr. Brande says that bc cannot find, in the Ufe of tho saint, any circumstances likely to have given origin to the peculiar ceremonies of the day. It appears to have- been a very old notion, however, for it i.i thuded to hy Chaucer, as well as by Shakspeare, in the "Two Gentlemen of Verona," that on this day hirds begin to couple. Tho custom of "Choosing Valentines" is of great antiquity, both in France and England. In the former country, it haH been long disused. Lydgate mentions it in 1476. Grose explains Valentine to ir., an "the first woman seen bv a man, or man hy a woman" on that day. But it does not appear where he picked up this explana? tion. lt appears that the reformers attacked this, as well as other legendary customs of their time, and that the Romanists them? selves were so scandalized at it, that de? vices were invented to turn the day to pro? fitable use. St. Francis De Sales intro? duced tho practice of drawing lots for patron saints on it, by way of substitute. According to others, this lat ter practice was of. much older date, and substituted for a pagan custom, by which boys and girls drew each other's names on the 14th of February. However this maj- be, it is a day that will bo remembered by our young folk, as our friend Janney's office will tes? tify to this morning.
