COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning, April 21, ?p?o. " . -., ft , X - . The Political Situation. - ,1t is a matter of considerable in? terest ot this time-to arrive at? cor? red - ?mclusio? as to what tlie de? sign? of the radicids are in the wild legislation they | are now driving thrdugh both Louses in the national capitol. It is notjgonerally believed that they intended tho civil rights bill to be ?n?orced as a lav, nnd that it was simply their expectation that, by its passage over the veto, they Would thus secure a means of foment? ing alienation between the people of . ' the North and the South. The New York World is of opinion that-the radicals contemplated, by <the now enforcement of the law in the Southern States, they would find nsw" grounds of accusation ajjainst the President. It says: "The real obstacle to tho success of th? law is the repugnance of the Southern people to its provisions, and their disbelief in its constitutionality; in consequence of which commission? ers will not servo nor juries convict. But its failure will be attributed to the neglect and opposition of thc President. The law authorizes him to order judges to hold special ses? sions of their courts at places where the law is disregarded. Its authors expect to find cases in which this is not done, and to make it a prominent ground of the threatened impeach? ment. "The main purpose of the im? peachment is to hr.ve the army under the command of a Republican at the Presidential election of 1868. With President Johnson in office, the Southern States would all choose Presidential electors. If, by count? ing the votes of tho Southern electors, the anti-Bepublican candidate should be elected, Mr. Johnson would, of course, hold that he was fairly elect? ed, and entitled to be inaugurated iu President. Mr. Johnson being Com mander-in-Chief of tho army, th< Republicans could not inaugurate tlmr candidate if he was not duh elected. The President is, therefore regarded by the Republican party a: an obstacle to be put out of the way but whether by impeachment or by i political manoeuvre will not be imb decided till after noxt fall's elections. ' We are of opinion that before tin period of these elections, the sobe second thought of the voters of th* North will drive these faetiouist from the hails of legislation, an? that, finding themselves foiled, thei efforts at revolution will bc aban doned. The World thinks that ('hie Justice Chase will be the candidate o the radicals, and there is little doub but that, if they feel themselve strong enongh after the Congressiona elections, they will attempt an im peachment of the President, witl which success may bo inferred fron the fact that Chief Justice Chase according to the Constitution, mus preside in the Senate when sitting a a court for the trial of impeachment? - - ?? ? Immigration. We have sundry schemes invitiuj the citizens of the South to expatri ate themselves, but the most ad van tageous we have seen is that no-\ offered to the freedmen. We lean from a circular recently issued by th American Colonization Society, tho it intends to send x vessel to Liberi early in May, should the number c freedmen desiring to go to that "hui of happiness and freedom" bo sui ticient to justify the expense. Th latest news from the emigrants wh went thither last year, state, that th emigrants were delighted with tb land of their adopt ion. The inducements held out ure, ibu five acres of rich land are given t each emigrant immediately on lane ing. Schools and churches are i great abundance, and every freedmu is his own bureau. This is a grei inducement to our freed-people; an as there aro thousands who complai they cannot g(*t ^vork in the town and cities they generally flock to, w should think they would universal! avail themselves ol the liberal offen tho Colonization Society. All wh want to go aro requested by tho ci: cular to make immediate applicatiu to thc Rev. W. W. McClain, D. D Financial Secretary of the America Colonization Society, Washingtc City, D. C. We think wo are doin the freedmen a service by exfcendir this notice. Tho Manavunk Wood Paper PnJ Works, in Philadelphia, aro one i thc ;^reat novelties of tho. day. Tl works are very extensive, costil about 8000,000, and situated in tl Schuylkill River.

It will be read with interest,"not'only by the l members of the church, but by the [Sontheim poopie generally. It will ! bo seen th ut it is probable the name i of the church will be changed, the I sectional affix bei ug deemed unneces? sary and injarious, now that the I country is under one Government, j It is to be hoped that the friendly relations betweeu tho church, North and South, will be re-established, and whether the churches, will re? unite or not, thny may work together 1 in harmony. The subject of lay rep ? rcsentation and a modification iu4he rules respecting class meetings will doubtless betaken into consideration, I and as thc eondition'of the country j and the views of members have j undergone considerable change iu re? lation to these matters, there will, I doubtless, be some action taken in thc matter. We are pained to ob j serve that the venerable Bishop Sonic ! is reported to the Conference m dying. He is one of tho most be? loved dignitaries of the church. j MOST HORRIBLE MURDEH.-Tin ! people of Philadelphia and the neigh I boring localities were horrified 01 ; tho lltb. inst, by tho discovery of on? of the most horrible murders eve; perpetrated probably in any commu ! nity. The Deering family, father mother, and four children, a youiu femalo cousin of Mr. Deering, and i boy of seventeen years of age, wer. brutally murdered at their farm re sidenee, near the city. The murdo was committed on Saturday, 7th inst, and th* bodies were discovered, in j state of decomposition, in a barn, OJ I the following Wednesday. The murderer's name is Autoin Probst; had been in the employmen of the Deering*. He lingered abeu the city, indulging in his vicious ar petites, until he was arrested. Th object of his horrible deed w? I money, which he discovered Mi j Deering had, and, iu addition to thi ; stimulus, was ill-feeling towards tb j family for having previously dis . charged him from their employment j The full report of the case, ami th ? evidence before the coroner's jun j exhibit this atrocious murder as tl: blackest crime ou record in this com try. The brutal murder of four chi dren was the act of a demon, n< j that of a human being. The coroner's jury, after an inve ' tigation of tho murder of the Doti ; ing family, found a verdict ehargir Antoine Probst, now under arres with the murder of all the eight vi tims. -, ? MR. STEPHENS BEFORE THE RECO STRDCTION COMMITTEE. -A large nur i ber of witnesses were examined b fore the Committee, on Monday las Among them the testimony of Ho Alexander H. Stephens was <?<> ! eluded. Mr. Stephens gives ns li I opinion that an overwhelming ni ! jority of the people of Georgia a i exceedingly anxious for the restor I tion of the Government, and for t I State to take her former position the Union, and enjoy all her right and adjust all her obligations as ! State under the Constitution of t , United States as it stands amende I His opinion is, and the .sentiment the people of Georgia is, that the e i ercise of the right of secession was j : sorted to from a desire to render tin ' liberties and institutions more seem ? and from a belief on their part tl this was absolutely necessary ior tl L object. He thinks that the peo] are perfectly satisfied with the expe ment, and that they will never ros< to that measure of redress again. 1 believes tl ic only hope for their lib ties now is, the restoration of t Constitution o' the United States a of the Government under the Con? tntion. ? REAL ESTATE D ROM NIX? IN N YORK.-A correspondent of Monda Philadelphia Ledger says: "The real estate sales have st denly ceased, owners of property c dently being disgusted with the 1 prices recently realized. Large p eels, in tho upper part of tho isla] which were advertised to be brou) to the hammer next week, are wi drawn. Tho speculative feeling this description of property, in fr has totally died out." It is rumored, on tho best antin ty, that Henry Stanbury, of Ol has been appointed Associate Just of the Supreme Court of the Uni States for the Southern District, A Justice Catron deceased. j S ",M. i TH? FwriAiia.-The latest adrices fio m Eastport state that a document, pervading the E?g??h ?nilora to join tho Fenian ranks, has been circulated , on board' the British gun-boat at Campobello. Forty men on the j Gleaner, au English vessel, have been put iii irons for mutiny. A reward of $1,000 is to bo offered for the arrest of the capturers of the flag on Indian Island. Fenians still arrive at East port; 250. were expected, yesterday, from Boston. The Mayor of Calais, Me., apprehends serious trouble from the presence of Fenians iu his town, and he has telegraphed to the Go? vernor for protectiou. No disturb? ance had occurred us yet. Doran Killian is to address a mass meeting in Calais. No ono it* allowed in thc streets of Cornwall after ll o'clock at night. Colonel Wheeler is of a san? guine and cheerful temperament, and takes his imprisonment easy.

The editor of the Augusta Gonsfi talion-di st hus boon on a trip to Charleston, and thus notices the Kal? mia Mills: "The Kalmia "Mills, located be? tween Graniteville and Aiken, about niue miles from Augusta, ou the linc of road, are in process of erection.

Graniteville Manufacturing Gompa ny. On the land there is ample wate power for all purposes of the compn ny, and numerous springs of th I purest water, which is indispensabl j in bleaching cloth and making papel : These springs, at one place, form body of water twenty feet deep, an so pure that tho smallest object ea I be seen at the bottom. " All tho buildings are being cou j structed in tli?> plainest but most du rabie form of brick, with tin an 1 slate roofs, and are in the most in proved modern style. The factor I buildings aro immediately on th ! South Carolina Railroad, nine mil? j from Augusta, and the dwell iu I houses on high table land, a few hui j ?Ired yards distant. Both houses an j factories will be lighted with gas, an : tho factories heated by "steam. A the machinery is driven by wat? j power. The situation is om ?if tl J very best that can be obtained, bot on the score of convenience ar: i health. j " The machinery in the cotton mi i consists of 10,000 throstle spindle to spin the warp, and 10,000 self-ac . ing mill spindles, to spin tho tillin : and 500 looms, to work up their pr ; ductions. The company also propos : to add bleaching machinery, to bleat their cloth, which will mainly consi of tho finer grades of shirting, pri: : goods and long cloth. "There is one larg?' eighty-foi inch Fondunier paper mill, foriuakii ' printing paper, and om* forty-t\ inch machine, for making the line ; writing paper.

TREASON IN MAJ&SACHI^KTTS. -T j amiable Ward was sitting in thc i> j oflieo at the Boston Theatre, t other ?lay, when the window w as sn derily eclipsed by a sable visaj which made a demand for "Two pi served seats for dis ebning, sal j "Preserved seats?*'sahl theasb uiisb 'treasurer; "go down to tho mark if you want a ham, we don't sell '? herc."

The "Richmond Rvamitter, of Tues? day, hos a letter from Mr. Thomas II. Tit I in, jrrtx?ide??> of the Hollywood Cemetery Company, from which we learn that the number of the dead of the Confederate army buried at Holly? wood, is 11,075. A register was kept, in- which we noted the name, rank, company, regiment and State of each soldier buried. Every precaution was taken to insure regularity and system in the interments, because it was anticipated that after the wai many i omovfds would be made. Mr. Ellis says that there is as much probability of certainty in regard tc identity, or tho obtaining of any par? ticular body asked for, among those buried in the Hollywood Cemetery as exists, perhaps," anywhere clw under similar circumstances. Ho then makes the following Bug gestion in regard to these graves "The view I have is this: "With fei exceptions, the dead of tho army ar buried together in rows, near to ead other, admitting of but a limite number of walk-ways- or avenue? These graves 1 would have sinipl remoulded and turfed, with a small neat head-stone to each, the sum?m carved upon the stone, and nude.- th name a number, referring to the nun: ber in the register, containing all th particulars known or given, as abov stated. Tho expense of snell an in provementas this is easily within tb control of thc ladies of Rich mom' even in our present, depressed eond tion, and. with you, I confident! entrust the subject to their hear and hands."' [Tho Ermniner had already calk i the attention of thc Richmond lodi i to this work. | There is another great cemetery I Richmond, "Oakwood," were even j larger number wore buried than Hollywood. Tia total number soldiers interred in Richmond, d j ring the war, cannot fall much she : of 30,000. THE LATH DANIEL H. DICKINSON i His LAST MOMENTS. ' The New Yo . Expr*m.*, of Saturday, says: Ou Monday last, Mr. Diekins i was cng;iged in tho trial of the M tror case, which was postponed 1 Saturday, to permit Mr. Evarts attend the funeral of a relative. S feeling very well, Mr. Dickinson w< bonn- early, and has not been out the house since. His symptoms wi not considered alarming tillyestercl ; morning, and at about ll a. m. fact, when his son-in-law, Mr. S.

II i when wo are told by the milita Georgia that the President says tia] law is to continue, or info from Washington that he will let the military know the contri be thc fact, we regard neither r 1 as deciding anything relative t legal question involved.

This afternoon, the Supreme Couu eil, thirty-third degree of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Masonry for ? the Southern jurisdiction of the j United States, convened in the Ma sonic Hall and proceeded to organize, j The Council is attended by prorui- ? neut Masons from all parts of the j connia y, among whom are Albert j Pike, oi' Missouri; W.

Schwartz man, formerly of this city, but now of Richmond, and will, it is proba? ble, be in session several days. The session will be an interesting one. About the most refreshingly icy thing of this muggy weather was the proposal of Mr. Stevens, in the House, to-day. for that body to take stock in the Washington Moi'ning Chronicle. The House couldn't exactly stand the j dose, und, in this instauce, at least, \ failed to "'follow my leader." In the Senate, to-day, rather au extraordinary scene occurred, creat? ing no little sensation for a time on j I the floor and in the galleries. On j the question under debate, concern ling a branch of thc Union Pacific j Railroad, Mr. McDougall charged ? that his colleague was animated iu his action by personal motives. Mr, ; Connoss made a bitter reply, alleging that his colleague misrepresented and i disgraced his State, and that nothing I but a feeling of charity had prevent- 1 ed him (Mr. C.) from moving his ex? pulsion. Mr. McDougall, in answer? ing Mr. Conness, proceeded to tell a story which rather astonished tho ladies in the gallery, and was deemed so objectionable by the President of | the Senate that he interposed to stop I its further narration. I Washington ?Star, lHth. | i Mr. Henry Stuusbury, the newly ! appointed Supreme Judge for the Tennessee District, in placo of Judge Catron, deceased, stands very little chance of being confirmed by the Sonate, as he is known to be a warm supporter of the President's policy. Ir order to avoid giving offence to the President, the Senate will at once tike up the bill re-organizing the Su? preme Court, which passed the House | some weeks ago, and which abolishes \ this district, and reduces the number | of judges to nine. The House Judiciary Committee are still engaged in investigating and | sifting the evidence implicating Jeff. , Davis in the assassination plot. The point which the committee are driv- j ' ing at is to make out a ea-ce which ? I will warrant them in recommending ! Davis to be tried by a military com? mission. They expect to be able to do this. There is ''evidence" from unheard-of persons, alleged also to be in the plot at one time, which tho friends of military commission claim involves Davis in the assassination plot. A despatch to the Now York World says: The radicals were foiled to-day in their neat little game to pension Kor? ney's dying Chronicle, 'iliad. Ste? vens ottered a resolution to send three copies of that sheet to each of our diplomatic and consular and commer? cial agents, and to pay for the .same out of the contingent fund of the House. At first sight, the sum to be voted did not appear to bo large, but by an examination of the foreign register, just issued by the State "De? partment, it will bo found that there aro S03 diplomatic officers and con? sul, .r and commercial agents. Three copies ?d' the sheet to each of those officers would only involve the ex? penditure per year of $19,272. The House refused to vote that amount f? >r wa te paper.

GOD Er's LADY'S BOOK.-Thc May number of this "useful ad well as ornamental" hand- ><>ok for the ladies bas made its ap pearance, and fully sustains the Tonner reputation of thc work. Thia is really all that is necessary to be said with reference to the magazine, as the ladies, ono arid all, fully appreciate ita intrinsic value. We are indebted to the publisher for a copy. In former years, it was thought indis? pensably .lecessary, in order to secure a really good picture, that the work should be executed at the North: but since the advent of Messrs. Weam k Hix in our midst, that opinion has been changed-as it was found, on a careful examination of the pictures of these gentlemen, that they could he done fully as well, and nearly as cheap, Mere.

REFORM BILL IN ESOLANO.-The agitation of the new franchise bill in England ia to be very earnest and vigorous. The party opposed to ex? tending the suffrage is very firm, while the friends of the bill are active and fussy. The Ministers are sus? pected of not being disposed to break their necks to carry the bill. Mr. John Bright is altogether true to his reputation in the discussion. In a recent speech, he warned the people that Parliament was never hearty for reform, and reminded them how it had only yielded, on several occa? sions, to popular demonstrations of vast i umbers of people filling up the street * not remote from the Parlia? ment House. He suggested, to them that, "if Parliament street, from Charing Cross to the Venerable Ab? bey v. ere filled with men seeking a refon i bill, as it was two years ago, when men came to do honor to an illusti ious i tainui, (Garibaldi, ) these ulanderers of their countrymen (the tories who spoke disparagingly of the workiug men) would learn to be civil if they did not learn to love free? dom. ' Perhaps the gibbet or the axe might teach them the latter ! FtJNKRAL OF THE EX-{?li KEN OF FRANCE.-Much respect was paid to the memory of Queen Maria Emile, wife of Louis Phillippe, of France. The English court goes into mourn? ing fi r her. She was buried, by her request, in the dress in which she fled from Paris. She was the grand? daughter of the Empress Maria The? resa, of Austria, and niece of Marie Antoinette, daughter of Ferdinand I. of the Two Sicilies, grand-mother of the Empress of Mexico, aud related to nearly all the sovereigns of Eu? rope. What a life, and what a his? tory ! Tho immigration to Kansas now averages, it is thought, about 1,000 persons per day.
