mmmdmm^^^^atammm?SSMmmmmmmtmmmm??mmmmmmSmm COLUMBIA. ? Sunday Morning, Joly 8,1866. Another Veto Ikmnndrii. Another measure of plundering tho producing interests of the country, whether iu the agricultural, mechani? cal br mercantile departments of labor, is about to be passed by the faction at Washington, iu the new tariff bilL The Now York Herald well calla it the "caowning act of in? famous legislation, corruption and imbecility of the present Congress," and vehemently demands another veto from the President. It is a bill, it says, that, if rightly named, should be called a bili to enrich a few New England and Pennsylvania nianufao turers, and a few rich merchants, who have largo stocks of goods on hand, at the expense of the rest of thejeoxumunity. ) . \ . Tho iniquity of this intended fraud upon the material interests of the country, lies iu the fact that there ts no necessity for ik Tho tariff of last year, estimated; when it was adopted, to yield $70,000,000, pro? duced $170,000,000. The effect of tho scheme will be, and doubtlees its object was, to enrich an already bloated monopoly, at the expense and from the pockets of tho farmers of the North-west, tho planters of the South, the mechanics, and, in short, of all the industrial classes of the country. This is oasily shown, as this iniquitous tariff is invariably le? vied upon tho articles which those classes consume. The National Intelligencer, of the 3d instant, speaking of this bill, ex? presses its conviction that it will cer? tainly pass, and that its objectionable provisions will not be modified, ex? cept for the purpose of increasing tfu enormous rates of duties proposed by the committee. We have not seen the publisher! bill as proposed by the Committee but we maj refer to one of its sections which provides for such an increas) of the duty on railroad iron as tha under it, every ton of railroad iroi would afford, including duty an< charges, a protection to the dornest! iron works of foriy-eight dollars This, while it would effect materi ally the railroad interests of th country, would be peculiarly opprei sive on the Southern States, in th present crippled condition of all thei railroads. The injustice of the proposed mea sure is more forcibly illustrated ii the fact that even a Boston merchan writing in opposition to it, propose a public meeting to deprecate th new rates, and to repudiate the whol schedule as unjust, arbitrary and ir jurions. He says: "New England needs no furthe Eroteotion than she already enjoyi ut she is ma the scape-goat of th Western wool growers and the Pent sylvania iron men, who fear the in portation of foreign wool and iroi and who have gone all lengths to s< cure the passage of the appallin tariff which now stares us in the fae? and threatens to affect detrimental! every man, woman and child in th country. There is no time to be lot in this matter, and for the sake of th merchants, the manufacturers, tl dealers, and the consumers, we wat the influential men among us to gn to this subject their instant and ea nest consideration." The Naiioiud Intelligencer, althoug apparently opposed to the bill, do< not intimate that tho President wi veto it. Wo hope ho may, but ai disposed to think with tho Journal < Commerce, that the only remedy f< this evil legislation is to elect wise moro liberal and more national repr tentatives to tho next Congress. State Items. LAURENS.-Tho sheriff of Laurel District gives notice to defendants i execution, that all executions m marked "Wait orders," ho will 1 obliged to levy and sell, if settlemo be not niado at once. Ho is in 1 nirry. A meeting is to bo hold at tho ?Jou House, like others held in sever Districts, to take into considerate tho state of tho country. ( i KEEN vii.

Tho Baltimore Sun estimates t population of that city at the prose timo at 1100.000. Norf ll Carolina. A,telegram to tb> New York Tri h una, from Washington, asserts that a delegation from North Carolina is at tho capital, anxious to>- ascertain* on what terms that State 'could be ad? mitted into the Union. They applied to Thad. Stevens, who inf ormed them that the State* would have to adopt the constitutional amendment, and that it would also bc necessary for Congross to pass au enabling Act by a two-thirds vote, sotting forth who in tho State shall participate in a con? vention to form a new Constitution. The telegram further states, that on being requested to-designate those who should thus bo recognized, thc delegation conferred together, and, on the 3d, seut to Mr. Stevens tho following draft of a necessary section of the enabling Act: "No ono shall bc eligible to a scat in tho Convention, or permitted to vote for delegates thereto, or upon tho ratification of tho Constitution, that thc Convention shall submit to tho people, who at any time before the rebellion, as an ofiicer of the United States, or of the State, in any other capacity, had taken an oath to support tho Constitution of the United States, ami subsequently thereto voluntarily engaged in the rebellion, or intentionally gave aid and comfort thereto, or wno has held under the so-called Confederate Go? vernment the position of President. Vico-President, member of tho Cabi? net, member of either brauch of Con? gress, Judge of tho civil courts, fo? reign agent or officer of the army above the grade of colonel, or of the navy above the grade of lieutenant, or tho office of Governor, Secretary of State, or Treasurer of tho State, while in rebellion, or who resigned any position under the United States and took part in tho rebellion, or who, at any time, voluntarily en? gaged in molesting-, restraining, threatening or injuring any citizen, his family or estate, because of his opposition to tho rebellion, or be j cause of his efforts in behalf of the I Union, unless it shall bc made to ap? pear that such person ceased to aid the rebellion, and exerted himself for a restoration of tho Union before the first day of January, 1865." We are disposed to believe that this whole story is manufactured out of tho whole cloth ; but if it should be otherwise, we have no doubt that the above "draft" of disfranchise? ment of all true and gallant North Carolinians, met with the full ap? proval of old Stevens. It will be in-, terostiug to know who these delegates were, and we feel tolerably well assured that no native Carolinian could so far forget the first lesson taught by old Mecklenburg in the first revolution, or become so recre? ant to their State or tho descendants of the men who issued "the first de? claration of independence" in Ame? rica, as to bow the knee and suppli? cate favors at the expense of the honor of the State, from such an old fanatic as Thaddeus Stevens. Nous verrons. The Portland Conflagration. We are not among those who can rejoice at the destruction of property, even when it might be considered in some sense a retribution in kind for past misdeeds. But the recent de? struction of a mile and-a-half of the city ?of Portland, Maine, brings forcibly back to the mind and imagi? nation of every Columbian, the fear? ful night of the 17th February, 18G5, when about the same area of their own beautiful city was destroyed; and ?ve should not bc nt all surprised that, in witnessing the destruction of their own city, the thoughts of the scenes that must have been witnessed in Columbia, did not forcibly present themselves to the minds and imagi? nations of many of tho citizens of Portland. Be this as it may, the destruction caused by such terrible conflagrations must teach very impressive lessons, and having passed through the fiery furnace, wo feel sure that tho largo majority of tho citizens of Columbia will sincerely sympathize with the people of Portland, in the large amount of individual loss and of personal suffering caused by this calamity, which was no doubt the result of accident; but at the same time they may justly feel indignant at tho causes of u very far different nature which resulted in the destruc? tion of their own city. -, ^? ? The result of the Nebraska elec? tions has been officially announced. Tho Demoerats have elected the Chief Justice and tho Associate Justice, and have a majority of eight in the Legis? lature on joint ballot. The radicals have eleetedthe Governor and mein ber of Congress. The? new Consti tution is adopted hy exactly 100 ma jority A New Kink. " Just before the adjournment of the House of Eopresentatives, in thc ?radical Congress, on Tuesday last, rjdr. Banks, from the Committee'r on Foreign Affairs, introduced a bill, .which was ordored to be printed, "for tho admission of the States of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Cana? da East aud Canada West, and for tho organization of tho Territories of Selkirk, Saskatchewan and Colum? bia. " Tho bill was road twice- and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. As a matter of curiosity, and of interest, if it over should amount to anything, wo extract somo of its provisions: "Tho first section provides that, whenever notice shall be depositad in tho Department of State, that thc Govern men ts of Great Britain and of the Provinces have accepted thc propositions made in tho second sec? tion, the President of tho United States shall publish, by proclama? tion, that the States of "Nova Scotia, Now Brunswick, Canada East and Canada West, and tho Territories of Selkirk, Saskatchewan and Columbia are constituted and admitted as States and Territories of the United States. Among the propositions is ono, that the United States will assume tho Provincial debt, at not exceeding five per centum interest, as follows : Cana? da West, $36,500,000; Canada East, $29,000,000; Nova Scotia, $8,000,000; New Brunswick, $7,000,000; New? foundland, $3,200,000; Princo Ed? ward's Island, 82,000,000. Thc United States aro also to pay $10, 000,000 to tho Hudson Bay Com? pany/' Notwithstanding this extravagant bid for her Majesty's North American possessions, we feel very sure her loyal subjects would reject it with scorn. They would not become po? litically united with thc Yankees for all the millions of greenbacks that could bc struck off on tho Govern? ment presses for twelve mouths. They despise them and their tricks as much as some of the rest of us, and will bo keen enough to observe thal the introduction of tho bill at this late stage of tho session is merely foi party political effect, and is mort likely to become a matter of ridicule than a subject of serious considera tiou on the part of the Americai people. We do not know what tho seriout object is in this new scheme of annex ation. It may possibly be for at accession of political power to thc North, or it may bo either to cou ciliate tho Fenian vote by depriving Great Britain of her territory, or t< head them in acquiring possession o it. If the latter, these sapient legis lators had better hurry up the cakes for tho Fenians arc again organizing or trying to do so, for another gram invasion of the soil of England. TUE CASE OF STOWEKS.-Genera Sicklos has declined to deliver Fran eis Stowers ou the writ of habeas cor pus issued by Judge Bryan, of th United States District Court. Afte j stating some premises, the Genera j gives tho following reasons for hi j response to the application : 1st. That these parties wero tried j convicted and sentenced, by a court according to the proclamations, ot dors and acts of the competent de partments of tho Government, hav iug proper cognizance of tho crim with which they wore charged. 2d. That these parties, of their ow: motion, have taken and laid hefor the President of tho United State.? for his official action, the record an all tho proceedings in their case; an that the wholo matter, including th disposition to bo made of those pai ties, is now before tho President < thc United States, whose opinion i the case, and whose order touchin tho disposition of these parties, i binding on the undersigned. 3d. That thc undersigned has n power by which ho can in any mai uer interfere with the present dispt sition of these parties without t!i further order of thc President cf lb United States. Tho sum total of the Europea news seems to bo that Italy hi formally declared war, und thrown force across the Minoio; that Prussi has occupied Dresden, Wiesbade and sumo other points of less impo taner, and cut off tho communia tions of the Hanoverians. N serious collision has yet occurred, bi a groat battle was expected. Card nal Antonelli had resigned; and ministerial crisis was expected i Englund in consequence of tho def ci of the Government on the rcfon bill.

The Dominerai ie Add revs. The following is the address of ibo National D?mocratie party, just is? sued. It is signed by Hon. lleverdv Johnson, and forty other Senators and members of Congress: S ' WASHINGTON, July 4, 18GG. TJ Ike people of the United States: Dimgers threaten. The Constitu? tion-the citadel of our liberties-is directly assailed. Tho future is clark unless tho people will come to thc rescue. lu this hour of peril, National Union should bo tho watch-woi\l ol every true man. As essential to National Union, wc must maintain unimpaired the rights, the dignity, and the equality of tho States, including the right of repre? sentation in Congress, and the ex? clusivo right of each State to coutro' its own domestic concerns, subject only to tho Constitution of the United States. Aftern uniform construction of thc Constitution for more than half i century, tho assumption of new ami arbitrary powers in thc Federal Go vernmeut is subversive of our systeu and destructive of liberty. A free interchange of opinion mu kind feeling between tho citizens o idl the States is necessary to the per petuity of the Union. At present eleven States ure excluded from th? national council. For seven mm months, the present Congress ha persistently denied any right of rep rescutatiou to tho people ol* thcs< States. Laws affecting their highes and dearest interests have boor passed, and in disregard of the fun dameutal principle of free govern meut. This denial of representation ha? been made to all tho member from a State, although tho State, ii the language of the President, "pre seats itself not only in an attitude c loyalty and harmony, but in the pei sons of representatives whose loyalt cannot be questioned under any exisi ing constitutional or legal test." The representatives of nearly om third of tho States have not bee consulted with reference to the gret questions of the clay. There li? beeu no nationality surrounding tl present Congress; there has been IJ intercourse between the represent) tives of the two sections producin mutual confidence ami respect. I the language of the distingu?she Lieutenant-General, "It is to be r gretted that at this time there caum be a greater commingling betwet the citizens of the two sections, ar, particularly of those entrusted wi! the law-making power." This stn of things should bc removed at om and forever. Therefore, to preserve the Natiou Union, to vindicate the sufficiency our admirable Constitution, to gnni tho States from covert attempts deprive them of their trae positit in the Union, and to bring togeth those who are unnaturally severe and for those great national purpos only, we cordially appro** tho ct for a National Union Convention, be held at the city of Philadelphi on the second Wednesday (14th) August next, and endorse the prim pies therein set forth. We, therefore, respectfully, b earnestly urge ripon our fellow-ci zens, in each State and Territory ai Congressional District in the Unit States, in the interest of union ai in a spirit of harmony, and with"*' rect reference to the principles cc fained in said call, to act promptly the selection of wise, in "derate a: conservative men to represent thc in said Convention, to the end tl all the States shall ut once be restor to their practitional relations to t Union, the Constitution bc mai fained, and peace J deas the wh( count ry. Oi n Yoi NO MEN. -The Richmo Times says: Wo hail with peculiar pleasure t very decided manifestations of lout ing, scholarship and literary tah upon tho part of the youth of t South who have just been releas from our leading institutions of lea ing. Coming, as a large majority them did, from tho camp to lecture room, they are said to hi exhibited an ardor in tho acquisit of knowledge, and a respect for gi order and discipline unparalleled the history of college life in this St;i N'or do their minds seem to In been idle during thu long, drei hours of inactivity in camp. Wi winning laurels in 111? - held, they not seem to have lost sight of priceless advantages of education. The condition our unhappy sect sectus t<? have inspired the yoi men of the South with renev energy and activity. They no lon exhibit either fastidiousness in selection of a profession, or reineta to prosecute with energy any hoi able occupation. Among the mont common popular delusions, was ono that, yt must necessarily elapse before habits and restlessness of the en could be east aside. The sue with which our yoting men have \ secute?! Un ir studies, and the ? with which they enter upon the u common-place pursuits, pretty fectually disprove this theory. . ? It is .said that the Austrian Govi nient have intimated their intent not to permit any military conn siouers to ho attached to the b< quarters of their army in the e\on war 11 reak i ut ont Judge Butted. The Richmond Time? bas thc fol? lowing severe criticism on ono of the opinions of this judge: The people of Alabama are aftlict I ed with a United States District Judge who is writing himself down a more gigantic donkey than even our own precious Underwood, lt would seem that the lamented Lincoln must have broken up some traveling me? nagerie when he achieved the "big joke" of appointing Federal Judges for the Southern districts. Ile captured somewhere near "the Tombs" in New York, a notorious follow named "Dick Uusteed," ?nd made him a District Judge in Ala? bama. Envious of thc rising star of Underwood's greatness, Bustaod ux Idodod a few days ago, in a charge to Us grand jury, in which lie assured thom with great earnestness and so? lemnity, that "if aman has committed treas??ii once and obtained a pardon therefor, and taken tho necessary oath, and thou, like an ingrate, breaks Iiis oath, he is remitted to his original state of guilt, and is a male? factor deserving tho punishment of treason, perjury and ingratitude. And does a man, the Judge asks, keep his oath to faithfully support the Consti? tution of tho United States, and the Union of the State thereunder, whose every word concerning either is one of abuse und detraction? The grund jury are requested to take notice of tlio speech of these oath-takers, and to remember their own oaths." It is possible that Underwood may have talked nonsense almost as absurd as this, but it has escaped our at? tention. What rendors this farrago still moro absurd, is tho definition of treason in another part of this charge by Busteed, iu which he emphatically instructs the jury that the offence of treason can only be committed by "taking up arms against tho Govern? ment." Ho thou deliberately assures his jurors'thnt, in the case of "pardon? ed rebels," "abuse of Congress" does constitute treason and should bc punished. The absurdities of these poor, j ignorant and demented wretches are rather more than thc radicals eau bear, and the squirming and objur? gations of the respectable radical journals when Bustesd and Under? wood make donkeys of themselves, is exceedingly diverting. Whore in the world could Mr. Lincoln have caught his judges? Did lie get wind of the tribe in reading Gulliver's account of the Yahoos? A PBACTICAX JOKE.-A private cor? respondent relates a practical joke on a Western editor, which will be re? lished so highly hero that wo are tempted to give our readers tho bene- j lit of it. Ho writes from Eastville, ' Indiana, to the following effect: "There aro two papers published here-one conservative and the other [radical, of course. A few days ago, I the radical editor received an anony? mous contribution in verse, headed, I 'Our Lute Lamented President.' No name was called, but the 'loyal' ; editor, seeing, perhaps somewhat ? darkly, through his own glasses, dis ! covered a glowing eulogy on Abra ? ham Lincoln. In the enthusiasm of j his loyalty, ho did not hesitate to I depart from the rule of all newspa j pers, not to publish anonymous con j tributions, and ascribing the conceal : meut of the author's name to exces I sive modesty, he gave the verses a i conspicuous place in his paper. Po i litical feeling here just now runs i high. Before noon, the editor's sanc J tum was thronged with tho anxious ? and bewildered faces of his colleagues and subscribers. They poured in j 'one by twos,' liko the 'an im ul ea' in j 'Gideon's Band,' to inquire what poa- j Rossed him to publish an acrostic an \ Jeff. Davis! "The perpetrator, or, aa the out ? raged editor, in the desperation of I his frenzy, called him, the *punpy ' traitor' of this cruel joke has not j been detected, though vigorous search I has been made for him. There is a clever young follow about town, who, j when a boy, discovered an incurable ; propensity for worrying snakes. His ; favorite pastime was to pin tho heads ! of tho reptiles to tho ground with a forked stick, and then, after making them blind with rage, to thrust their tails into their mouths, lt amused his innocent, childish fancy to soo them inoculate themselves with theiS* ! own poison. That young fellow is ! strongly suspected." + ?? ?. ? ? ' A (JAP ts TIIK KADICAI. POLICY.
