Tho National Intelligencer says th ut, let tho present contest terminate ns it may, there is ono reform which may be, and wo hope will bo, accom? plished. It is tho restoration to tho Presidential office of its proper con? stitutional functions, as they were exercised by ail the Presidents from Washington down to Lincoln, inclu? sive, until the present congressional Jacobins usurped these functions for their own purposes, seizing what did not bolong to them, upon tho old pretence,of public safety, and the in? sincere promise of a speedy return. PoiiAR EXPEDITIONS.-From tho ninth and tenth centuries to the nine? teenth, from tho discoveries of the Icelanders and Northmen, who were the first Arctic explorers, to those of Sir John Franklin, Dr. Kano and Dr. Hayes, the polar regions have had a fascinating interest for both the com? mercial and the scientific world. The dream of commerce that a North? west passage would be found a prac? ticable road to the Indies was long ego dispelled. But science still de? mands further and more complete explorations than any whioh have hitherto been made. The ocean cabio announces that two scientific expeditions to the North Pole aro now fitting out-one at Havre, under Lutnbert, and the other at Bremen, under Poterninn, tho celebrated Prus? sian savant, whoso views of Arctic geography were corroborated by Dr. Kano's discoveries of a Polar Sea. -<?????. Tho question of Queen Victoria's abdication is again being cautiously agitated in England. This time, however, it is viewed from a financial stand-point, the entire policy of the English people being directed toward national retrenchment. In view of a late increase of alarming symptoms of the hereditary affliction of the Guelph family, to such an extent as to almost entirely unfit her for the discharge of State duties, it is now thought the incoming Parliament will be disposed to retire her with a hand? some douceur, in order to get rid of the annual appropriation to her pri? vate parso of two and a half millions of dollars, to say nothing of other incidental expenses, consequent upon maintaining her separate establish? ment, whioh amounts to twice as much moro. Nothing but the most honorable uud chivalric motives have protracted this event to the present time, and it is now merely a question whether they shall still weigh against what the more sensible of English statesmen regard as the interests of the throne and people. SOME GOOD IN KANSAS.-We are {.hui to know that Kansas is looking up, and judge from the following that there is a chance for "bleeding Kan? sas" yet: "Tho women of Kansas, although nnub?o to obtain a female suffrage, liuvo one rigbt which is worth more. In a recent number of the Lawrence Tribune, tho following peculiar ad? vertisement appears: "To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I hereby give notice that tho sale of spirituous liquors to Homer Hays is contrary to my wishes, and that I shall prosecute, according to law, any perron who disregards this notic . "CATHARINE HAYS. "By tho laws of Kansas, it appears, women can prosecute any landlord or saloon keeper who sells liquor to their lords and masters." A WAR RELIC.-We have seen a copy of Gen. Beauregard's private correspondence, from the time ho took command at Corinth, to his oc? cupation of Chattanooga, just before Bragg entered Kentucky. It con? tains the secret history of that army during tho period named. It is now the private property of a gentleman is-i?ns city. By the way, it is a fact not generally known, that tho United States Government never succeeded in capturing tho records of tho Con? federate War Deportment. They wcro last seen in North Carolina, not long beforo tho surrender of Gen. Johnston. Wo suspect they were destroyed, but thor may bc in ex? istence yet. [Mac?n (Ga.)

C. ri lil IS undersigned Commissioners, ap X pointed by tbe General Assembly of South Carolina, at ita lato session, will re? ceive bid? for tho valoablo Water Tower known as tho COLUMBIA CANAL, until tho 5th day of JANUAliY, 1869. The Canal is eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four (8,654) yards long, and the average fall for tho first three miles is fourteen feet, commencing at ten lect, at Upper street, iu Columbia, and attaining nineteen feet ono inch at Bridge street; tho remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its mouth, commences at nine? teen foot ten inches and attains a fall of twenty-five feet. Eino building sites exii>t between tho Canal and River, giving complete protec? tion to buildings and machinery from freshets. Tho State, through tho"under? signed, will convey tho Canal, and all its appurtenances, together with thc right of way for 100 feet on each aide of the centro of tho Canal, to the purchaser. Compen? sation to the adjacent land owners, for tho right of way, to bo made by thc purchaser; on tho same just and equitable terms that tho right of way tvas convoyed to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Compa? ny by Act of Dceomber 15, 1815. This power has been accurately surveyed by ProL John LeCoutc, of tho Soutb Ca? rolina University. He estimates that by doubling tho original capacity of tho Canal, as required by tho Act. that tho power secured to Bridge street will bo :)55 horse-power, the average head being four? teen feet; and from Bridge street to its mouth 532 horse-power, with an average head of twenty-one feet, and a current of one foot per second. With a current of two feet per second the powers would Lc 710 and 1,0(51 horse-power; and if tho ma? chinery is not ran at night thc power may be doubled, by accumulating water in re? servoirs. "As thc uupuly of water," says Pr.>f. LeConto, "which may Oe turned from the River into the Canal al its head is almost unlimited, the Canal can be enlarged tu an extent commensurate with the demand for water power. It' dcsired,*it may be made to supply water to the extent of 5,000 horso-power or more. Tn fact, by verv simple arrangements, one-third, or one half, or oven more, of tho whole water in Broad River might be turned into such an enlarged Canal." This water power is within the limits of the city of Columbia, and contiguous to railroads which connect it with nearly every County iu the State of South Caroli? na, and with tho adjoining States of North Carolina and Georgia, and their abundant supplies of cotton, rico, corn, wheat, beef, pork, and other vegetable and animal pro? ductions, and also in daily communication with tho soa-portsof Charleston, Savannah and Wilmington. Tho city is supplied ! with gas and lino water; thc climate is sa- ' lubriouh and healthy, being above the miasmatic region; lands in the vicinity aro cheap, and thc soil fertile; and there aro but few sections in the South which present greater attractions for settlement or residence. Tho water power, from its magnitude and advantages, is unequaled by any in South Carolina, and unsurpassed by any iu tho Southern country. Tho property will bo sold on tho follow? ing conditions, to wit: let. The purchaser shall, within two years from tho dato of conveyance, complete tho widening and deepening of said Canal to at least twice its original capacity. [Its original capaci? ty was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet at bottom, and four feet in depth. To doublo it, according to Prof. LcConto's re? port, it will require tho removal of 36,107 cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards of stone, to Bridge street; and from Bridge street to its mouth 22,176 cubic yards of earth, but no stone.] That tho same shall always be kept open for boating purposes, freo of charges, for toll or otherwise, to where it is now used. [This will not inter? fere at all with the water power for driving machinery, as boats only doscoud as far as the first lock, near Upper street.] That tho water shall not be permitted to become stagnant, and that it shall not bo used for other than hydraulic purposes. And that thero shall bo a reservation to the State of water power sufficient for tho purposos of tho State Penitentiary, for all timo, free of charge. (This is estimated, at the maxi? mum, at 100 horso-power.] And upon tho further condition that tho work of widen? ing and deeponing tho said Canal shall bo co mine rice il within six months, and the sum cf $10,000 shall be expended on the samo within twelvo months from thc dato of conveyance That one-third of tho sum bid shall bo paid within thirty days after notice of ac coptanco of bid: one-third at tho expira? tion of six months thorefrom, and tho re? maining third at tho expiration of twelve months. Titles delivered on payment of first instalment; and the title herein pro? posed to bo convoyed shall revert to the state on default hoing roado of any of tho foregoing conditions, including payment of all tho purchaao money. Parties sending bids will please furnish tho Commissioners with reference as to thc ability promptly to make good the s,ame. Every facility will be afforded for the ex? amination of the property, and communi? cations may bo addressed*to ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor. ROBERT N. LEWIS, CHARLES M. WILDER, Nov 1 Columbia, S. C.

Jacksou surely has a run of trade; his place is crowded each day, and his assistants are as busy as bees. A busy man is a locomotive, and life a track. Every night ho drives into "tho house," and stops. Every morning ho is fired up anew, and away he goes switching off in one di? rection and then in another. In this routine of business he forgets that the physical organization is of the mo:.t delicate kind. If a hard iron locomotive needs constant care, and to bo well oiled up and rubbed off every day, how muoh moro necessary is it that all men and women should uso PLANTATION BrrrBRs, which are the ne plus ultra ot ovorytbing which is necessary to keep the -system in a perfect tone of health.
