?COLUMBIA, j Sunday Morning, Dec. 30, 1866. j Two JUurri<-r*. That ins.ine radical and bad man, Forney, in bia Chronicle, speaking of tbc recent decision of tbc Supremo Court pronouncing the illegality of military commissions for the trial of civilians, utters the following lan- j guage: "Treason, vanquished upon the j battle-field and hunted from every i other retreat, has at last found a se? cure shelter in the bosom of the Su-1 prerne Court. * * * This extra-1 ordinary decision will doubtless receive the serions? attention of Con? gress at ".u early day." And suppose it does attract thc attention of tho so-called Congress. Wc have yet left two sufficient bar- j riers against the insane measures of | destruction which that cabal passes, j in tho executive and judicial depart? ments of the Government. So long as public sentiment holds in high esteem the chief judicial tribunal, and so long as tho Executive is comman? der-in-chief of the land aud naval forces of the United States, the peo? ple are comparatively safe from tho j execution of revolutionary edicts. "We further believe that the masses of the Northern ' people will never consent that the temples of jnstico bo laid violent hands upon by these radical vandals. The Supreme Court, since the earliest days of the Govern? ment, bas been the strong palladium of the rights and liberties of the peo? ple, and cannot be permitted to fall a victim to the destructives in Con? gress. An assault upon it would bo an assault upon about all that is left ns of conservative Republicanism, as left by tho founders of the Govern? ment. The Southern people, under their extraordinary trials, have only to persevere in their present course of conduct; patient, but firm, manifest? ing their full reliance on the great principles of the Constitution-enter? taining a bigh-toned regard for their whole duty as citizens towards the Federal Government, of pa: riotic submission to the laws they are pledged to obey, and a proper firm? ness in resisting revolutionary meas? ures, as in the case of the Constitu tioi_al amendment; and ?ts sure as tho principles of truth and right are given to men by Omnipotence itself, so surely will their ultimate triumph come. The ?faction that would de? stroy such a Constitution and such a Government ai; our fathers bequeath? ed us, cannot, under the justice of Heaven, be permitted long to rule the peopki in wickedness. A Dublin letter to tlicSunday Neus says the Government officials are fre? quently sold Ivy stones that Stephens bas landed a', different points on the coast, keeping troops and gun-boats constantly on the move. Phoenix Park, in which is situated the Govern? ment powder magazine, has been sur? rounded by heavily-manned earth? works and palisades. Troops are continually arriving from England, and suspected Irish regimen..-, are transported to England and the colo? nie?. Despite the exertions of tho authorities, midnight meetings for drill are held all over Ireland, and the people evidently are awaiting Stephens' arriva! to rise, in spite of the great odds against them. COLD WEATHER.-Yesterday we bad another fall of snow, which seemed to commence tremendously in earnest; but the reception it met with was so warm a one, that it soon "dried np." i_?ast hight the old frost king stole upon us "like the thief in tho night," and this morning the wind was piercing and keen. Tho mountains beyond us are covered with snow, and present the appear? ance of being most gorgeously cladbi pearl. - Greenville Mountaineer. The investigating committee ap? pointed by the House of Representa? tives, a few days since, have unearth? ed stupendous distillery frauds in New York, it is said. They expect like success in their investigations in Western cities, which they aro to visit after tho holidays. The Governor of North Carolina bas sent a special message to the Le? gislature, announcing tho sucess of the Commission to Washingtion, in procuring the abrogation of Gen. Sickles' order prohibiting infliction of corporal punishment by the Courts of the State. It is said that the Postmaster-Gene? ral is considering tin; practicability of receiving and delivering mails from express trains without lessening speed, ana at points where they do no'tstop! He believes this can bo done, and will institute experiments in that direc? tion. . I Act? Paued bjr the Legl?l?ture. TO AT7THOT;iZE THE CREATION OF PRI? VATE CORPORATIONS.

NEGROES ON STBKET CABS ts PHELA DELIPHIA.-A conductor kicked a colored woman from a street car, in Philadelphia. The woman's husband brought an action against the railroad company for damages. The judge decided that the company had the right to exclude negroes from their cars, and the jury found for the de? fendant. This throws Forney into a passion. He says: We do not hesi? tate to siy that, at this time, and in this country, sach a decision is scarcely less infamous than that ren? dered by the Supreme Court of tho United States in the Dred Scott case. The incomes last year paid a reve? nue of $60,894,185, which was nearly three times the revenue of the year before from tho same source. The cigar-smokers contributed for the support of thc Government $3,474, 438, and the chewers and tobacco smokers nearly four times as much. Distilled spirits gave a revenue of .$29,198,576; and the Commissioner thinks the Government loses more by evasion under this head than under any other, except, possibly, that of income. A letter from London says: "If a war does come, and England cannot .keep out of it, everybody knows that an army can land on the coast, and in three marches take London and its great arsenal, Woolwich, when Eng? land would be utterly powerless and at the mercy of the invader; ftjr there is but one great arsenal, one military depot; and tho little army, defeatetl in one action, has no line to fall back upon, and no reserves." Colonel James J. Bomford, com? manding thc military department in the Carolinas, his directed the com? missaries of his command to obtain, from the chief commissary of the department, ftdl supplies of bread stuffs and meats for the subsistence of the destitute whites and blacks in that department. LOOK OUT.-The Chronicle and Sentinel leurus thut two citizens of Augusta have bef u arrested and sum? moned to Savannah, for failure, through ignorance, to comply with the revenue laws. The paper adds: The laws have not beeu published, and the only way that our citizens can act understandingly is, by going to thc revenue officer and get him to instruct them. It is estimated that 150,000 freed? men and their children are row at teudiugschool in the Southern c The issue of rations, on the last June, to whites and blacks, w about equal. The freedmen's 1>?". roan ha? nov.' in its possession for distribution 272.231 acres of land, besides 228 tracts in Tennessee, and 1,111) parcels of town property. To BE POLISHED.--The Memphis Aval? ''?says: Some of onrSouth? ern-born people-good, "rebels" in the "lost cause," who could not dwell in the same Southern town with the Federal officials- -some of them are scuding their daughters to thc ! North "to bi> polished." Heaven save the mark! The Fenians in Cambridge, Mass., i are so sanguine of a Fenian victory j in Ireland, that they have engaged the Jity Hall for its celebration, paying thc rent in advance. SARATOGA SPRINGS WATER.
