The Abyssinian expedition has vin? dicated the honor of tho orown. The cessation of tho attempt at re? bellion irjtfreland renders the further use of exceptional powers granted by tho two Houses needless.

LET EVERY COLORED MAN READ THIS.-Some days since, a colored man was up before Mayor Neff, on some charge, and was fined $20.00. At the instance of a "rebel," who spoke well of the prisoner's charac? ter, the Mayor reduced tho fine to $10.00, which was all very proper. Tho prisoner had uo money, and, in company with a policeman, he called ou a number of his radical friends to pay the fine, that he might be re? leased from confinement and resume his work. Old "uncle" Anthony Howe was one to whom he applied, but "uucle" Anthony "didn't have a dollar." His other radical friends, "without regard to race, color or previous condition," were just like "uncle" Anthouy Howe-they "didn't havo a dollar." Finally, tho poor colored mau, disappointed aud disheartened, applied to one of those "d-n rebels," as the disnniouists are pleased to term their betters, and he did have the money; and not only hud it, but cheerfully paid the amour; t of tho fine, and tho colored man was released.. Let every colored niau road and ponder these facts, and he may then be able to determine who are his friends.-Wilmington (X. C.) Star. j At the ratification meeting at New? j ark, New Josey, (says tho Adver I tiser, rad.,) the Opera House was densely packed, and largo crowds were unublo to obtain admission. The music on this occasion was furnished by thu Jefferson band and a quartette club. Mr. Ritter favored the audience with a solo, of which the following was the chorus: Wo Polked them once, Wo Pierced them well, And then wo Bucked them sore; And with Frank Blair We'll make them stare. That they may all Sey-mour. In all parts of the country Demo? cratic clubs, white and colored, aro being formed. The Barnwell Senti? nel says: "Bamberg formed a clnb a few weeks ago, which now numbers over 100 members and there are accessions daily to its ranks. Black? ville, WilliBton, Aiken, Graham's Turn-out and many other places in the Distriot have formed clubs, and are all in fine working order. Our Democratic friends have determined that the ball shall be kept rolling, and have rolled up their sleeves to the work." THE LRGIBXAT17RE. TWENTY-FIFTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. COLUMBIA, August 3.-Tho Com? mittee on County Offices and Officers made a report on the 'resolution in? structing them to fix the salaries of County officers. Tho report, which was considered immediately and agreed to, recommended that the matter bo re-committed to a Joint Committee, consisting of Committees of Ways and Means aud County Offices and Officers. The Judiciary Committeo made a report on tho resolution proposing to rescind the order of General Cunby, appointing a Mayor and Council for the town of Laurensville. Tho?com mittee expressed the belief that a new Council could be appointed or elected at tbis time, if these offices were vacated, by the adoption of tho proposed resolution, and, therefore, recommended that tho resolution be tabled until a general law on the sub? ject of municipal elections was passed. The report was agreed to. Whipper introduced a bill to dc clare vacant certain offices, wuicL was read the first time, and ordered 1 for consideration to-morrow. Thc I bill declares all offices, whether fillet now by election or appointment, tc be vacated immediately upon itt passage, except such as were lillee by the election which took place ot the 11th, 15th nod 16th days o April, under the provisions of tin new Constitution, and authorizes tin Governor to supply tho vacancies b; appointment until elections can b bold; but tho provisions of the bil are not to extend to the cases of per sons holding office as Mayors or Al dermeu, Intendant or Wardens, c any incorporated towns or cities wh were elected uudcr tho terms of thei several charters. The chairman of the Committc of Ways and Means rando an uufr vorable report on the bill to levy tax of $500 annually on Kcrsha District for the support of the wido of S. G. W. Dill; which report wi agreed to, aud the bill ordered to Ii on the table. Notices wcro given of a bill "I provide a public administrator," an a bill "to protect tho State again scarcity, and for other purposes." Joint resolutions were receive from tho Senate, petitioning Co: gross to remove the political disabil ties of W. J. Clawson, of Yorkvill and S. D. Goodlett, of Greeuvill which were read and referred to tl Special Committee on Political Dis bil ?ties. The Judiciary Committee report? back, with sundry uuimporta amendments, tho bill to organi Circuit Courts, which was reatl second time and passed. The b establishes eight circuits. Tho o in which .Richland County is ei braced, will bold its Courts of Coi mon Pleas on tho first Monday February, Juno and October, a the Courts of Ceueral Sessions the first Wednesdays after tho fi Mondays in theso months, respe ively-discretion being given t j litiges to postpone the terms of t former, if necessary, until tho bu ness of the Courts of Sessions sb have been finished. . Tho equ business is all transferred to t Courts of Common Pleas. Tho r of tho bill embraces mere matters detail, such as thc transfer of I books, records, &c. A communication was read fr Governor Scott, announcing that had approved tho joint resolut? petitioning Congress to removo political disabilities of N. E. Walker, of Barnwell, and C. Farmer, of Colleton. The unfinished business then en up for consideration. It was bill to reduce the amount of bonds of public officers, and pending question was on tho ad tiou of an amendment proposing increase tho bond of the State T surer from $-10,000, as contaiuei ? tho bill, to S0J.0?0, tho ame always heretofore required of I official. Whipper, (colored radical,) that, when he had concluded speech on this subject, on Satin lust, lu; thought ho had said all it was necessary for him to say, from events which had subseque taken place, ho was induced to lievo that it would be crimina him to bo silent on this o cc at Ho then opposed tho reductio the bond on four grounds. Firs believed it would injure tho creel tho State; second, because it going to bo done in ordor to pla mau in position (Niles G. Pal who had attomptoil to give 8 bonds, and who, it was curre reported, had promised to use bills receivable of tho State in si i?.g those who went on bis bc third, because bo believed under any circumstances, it w inj uro tho credit of tho State to man of doubtful capacity anti hoi in office; and, fourth, becausi had understood that undue illili had beon resorted to, by attora] to impose on the credulity of of the members, for the purpo serving a personal motive. Rausier and other colored ra< also opposed the reduction ot first ground expressed by Whi but disclaimed entertaining doubts as to Parker's honesty, after considerable debate, the and nays were called on tho ado ?av., 4?.% mr"'*\ ' /?/ of the amendment, nnder the opera? tion of. tho previous question, and resulted-yeas, 25; nays, 67. So the amendment was lost. . Ransier then moved that the bill be amended by inserting $60,000, instead of $40,000, but this was also lost. The bill was then passed. The House then adjourned. SENATE. Joint resolutions from the House, favorable to tho removal of tho poli? tical disabilities ol R. G. Camp and A. E. Smith, were received a?d re? ferred to the Special Committee on Disabilities. The same disposition wns mude of the petition of A. L. McCaslin, pray? ing the removal of his disabilities. Tho bill to provide a Private Sec? retary for the Governor was read tho first time and referred. An account of T. M. Paysiuger, Sheriff of Newberry District, against the State, was referred to tho Com? mittee on Claims. Tho bill to establish tho Citizens' Savings Bank of South Carolina, was taken up and, ofter some verbal amendments, passed its second read? ing. Wright introduced a bill to fix the salary of certain officers, which was read the first time and referred. It provides that tho salary of Chief Justice shall be $5,000, Aesociuto Justice $-4,500, and Circuit Judges $4,000, all payable quarterly. The favorable report of the Finance Committee, on tho petition of Mrs. Mary A. C. Hobbs, of Lexington, praying to bo relieved from a double, tnx, was agreed to and sent to the House. As was also a favorable report on the petition of Edward Livingston, to bo relieved of his political disabi? lities. The House resolution, favorable to tho removal of the disabilities of R. L. Heriot, of Orangeburg, was agreed to and returned to the House. Raudolph reported the bill to de? fine tho jurisdiction aud regulate the practice of Probate Courts, as en? grossed, for a third reading. The bill to quiet rights vested un? der military orders, was takeu up and, after some amendments, adopted. The most important of these was tho following: "All persons who are now holding office, by reason of auy general or special orders issued by any military commander in this State, aro hereby continued in office until their successor? shall be elected and qualified." Tho bill lo authorize the Governor to negotiate a loan of $125,000, was passed. The Committee on Incorporations reported favorably, and by bill, on tho petitions of tho Neptune and Palmetto Fire Eugine Companies, of Greenville, praying acts of incorpo? ration. Tho bills were read tho first time and ordered for consideration to-morrow. Tho Senate thou adjourned. EFFECT OF PAPER MONET ON LA DOUINO MKS AND TAX-PAYERS.- -The following are plain figures, which every day-laborer aud every tax? payer can understand. "A Laboring Man" writes the following to the Bangor (Me.) Democrat: For four days' work, in 1859, I could buy a barrel of excellent flour. For an equally good barrel, now, I have to work eight days. For one day's work, in 1850, 1 could buy fivo ponnds of tea. For same day's work, I can now buy but two pounds. For ono day's work, then, I could buy, thirty pounds of sugar. For a day's work, now, I can get but fif? teen pounds. For a day's work, in 185'.?, I could buy eight pounds of tobacco. For a day's work, now, I can buy but three pounds. For a day's work, in 1850, I could buy fifteen pounds of coffee. For a day's work, now, I can buy but five pounds. i For one month's work, in 1850, I could clothe myself and family for one year. To do tho same, now, I am obliged to work two months and a half. I might thus go through tho whole list of articles that a laboring man and his family consume. Tho fact is, that wo ure permitted to enjoy but one-half of the fruits of our labor; the other half goes to tho public treasury. ls it not time for me and my fel? low-laborers to look around us, ascertain tho cause of this robbery of labor, and apply the remedy? Iudeod, it is time; but tho cause of this robbery of labor ?3 already ascertained, nnd tho people will apply the remedy next November. Tho "Laboring Man" is right, when he says that tho peoplo aro permitted to eujoy but one-half of tho fruits of their labor, but he makes an orror in stating that "the other half goes to tho public treasury." If it did, the public debt would be paid, lt goes to support tho Southern negroes in idleness; to keep tho whites under the bayonets of a hugo standing army; and to enrich the plunderers. This is what is doue with the peo? ple's money; and the cormorants who ure sucking tho life-blood of labor and industry in tho country ask the people to sustain thom in another four years' term of robbery. The coautry cannot afford it. [New York World. John Dnpree, a colored citizen of Georgia, is tired of the carpet-bag? gers, and advises hie brethren of the African persuasion to voto with the Dem?crata hereafter. He alludes to the false promises of the carpet-bag? gers, and asks his colored friends: "Have you got your mule? I ain't got mine yet; aud they told us, right here in Irwintou, they was goiug to give us one. Have you got your forty acres of laud? Have you got your ono thousand dollars in green? backs? Echo answers, Whnr's your mule, instead of Here's your mule." Hon. B. H. Hill, in his recent ! speech at Atlanta, Ga., said: "A gen? tleman who is the only real Governor of Georgia," (meaning Ex-Governor Jenkins,) "is making a case to test tho reconstruction laws, in which jurisdiction is given the Supremo Court by the Constitution." A young woman astonished tho assembly at n ball in Nnshville, by goiug into a mesmeric trance between the dances and treating them to declamations, prayers and exhorta? tions. Too much chicken salad and champagne were the probable cause. Charles E. Becker, keeper of a I lager-beer saloon in Philadelphia, i was struck iu the finger by a rattle I snake which be bad on exhibition a few days. Ho rushed to a drugstore, but whiskey and drugs failed, and he ' [ died in a short time. Gen. Butler said in a speech, two I or three days ago, that President I Johnson was more guilty than Judas Iscariot. It is very natural that Ben. should bavo a kind feeling for Judas, for the latter took sundry pieces of silver aud carried the bag. The papers in different sections of tho North notice the death by drowning of a number of Indies. Scarcely, a day passes without a case of tho kind being reported. Who gives employment to nine tcnths of the negroes in tho South? Is it "us" carpet-baggers or "us" rebels? Any negro can answer this question. The White Cane Democratic Club, of Oraugeburg District, bavo passed a series of practicable and sensible resolutions, looking to the encourage? ment of white immigration. Tim Hurley, the facetious, bas filed his bond, and will, in a short time, assume bis official duties as Corouer of Charleston. The dwelliug of Mrs. Frances Wil? li lins and the kitchen of Mr. B. F. Smith, both in Abbeville District, were burned last week. PosTroNUD.-Tho Republican torch-light procession, announced for last night, was postponed until an early dui/.-Augusta Chronicle. During thc past month no fewer than twelve policemen bavo been maimed or murdered in New York. In tho week ending on Saturday, the 25th inst., there were 781 deaths in New York, aud 280 iu Brooklyn. Report says that several parties in New York are after Gen. Butler for "acts dono during tho war." Over a seventh part of the State of Mississippi is advertised for sale under execution. Now York bonded warehouses hold 3,000,000 gallons of whiskey at pre? sent. The radicals harp on Grant. They don't allude much to that Jew's harp ho played in Tennessee. Tho Asiatic cholera has broken out in New York, and several deaths have occurred. OBITUARY. Died, on Mond av morniug, July tho 13th, Mr. SAMUEL VANCE, in tho seven? ty-ninth your of Iiis ago. lt was manifest to his friends, for months, that his tino constitution was rapidly giving way, yet no apprehension of au early dissolution was felt, until a very short time before his death, when the alarm was given, and his devoted children, livia},' ut a distance, hastened to hin bedside, but (?dy iu time to seo his precious life puen away. Mr. Vaneo died near whore hq was horn and reared, and had lived nearly fouv seoro years, universally respected and beloved" by all who came within reach ot' his kind and ?ougcuial smile. Pew men have ever lived u more blameless lifo, and few will bo moro missea by friends and neighbors, for at homo he was remarka? bly kind, aft'iictionate and cheerful; and to his neighbors charitable and obliging, carrying ?nd, to thu ht tit of Iii-' ability, tho injunction "to vi^it the fatherless and tho widow in their af?iflUou, and to koop him? self unspotted from tho world." Mr. Vaneo tilled no place of public honor or profit, but tho place Ulled by him in tho hearts bf his family, friends and neighbors, was of much more valuo to him than all the empty distinctions tho world can bestow. Indeed, few men discharge tho vurioua duties of husband, father, stop-father, friend, master, neighbor and citizen in a manner so blameless and sat? isfactory as our deceased friend. Mr. Vaneo was tbneo married-first to Mrs. Armstrong, next to Mrs. Lifron, and last to Miss Clarissa 8immons, who sur vivos him, and, with bia children and friends, mourns tho loss of ono cf tho best of husbands. Tho subject of this notice was a gentle? man of the old school -modest and unaf? fected in his manners, strictly honest lu all his dealings, candid and faithful in his friendship, always roady to sacrifice per? sonal comfort for tho good of others, "it may bo truly said of him, he lived without blemish and diod without reproach." ^ NOTICE.
