COLUMBIA, S. C. ? . i?; 1 i ' , H Sunday Morning, February 21, 1869. The ''iron-clad oath,"'.which Congress long ago enacted, seems destined to cause quite as much inconvenience to the public interests as to those who are deprived by it from taking office. The Post Office De? partment^ continues to be in a quandary about it, there being many post office towns in the Southern States in which nobody can be found who is able to take it. So unani? mously do the Southern people suom to bo averse to perjury that the Post Office De? partment ls compelled to apply to Congress j for relief? and a bill introdaoed by Mr. Nor-1 ris is now before the House Committee on Reconstruction, providing for the appoint mont ci posh???aters in places where nobody will swear the "iron-clad oath." According to this bili, the faot must be established, in the first place, to the satisfaction of the Fo3 tm aa ter-G euora!, that "no person can be procured to act as postmaster for such offioe" who Will take the oath in question. And the bill expressly provides how he shall be satisfied of this. It is to be done by more 'swearing; "by affidavits to be filed and preserved." First, all the inhabitants of such village are to be asked to swear the "iron-clad oath" and tako tho post office. Upon the refusal of every one to do so, all of the in h abi tunis aro to bo asked to swear that nobe of them can or will swear the said oath, and ali the baths that no such oath can be taken are to be "filed and preserved" by the United States. Then, and then only, the'Postmaster-General may'look out for some "loyal," "well-disposed," and in other respects "not disqualified" person for postmaster. Here, .as the Baltimore Sim says, is circumlocution with a vengeance, and the more there is of it the greater aro the embarrassments whioh are disclosed. The New York-Evening Post, a leading Re? publican journal, suggest that a simple | repeal of the iron-clad oath would solve all theso difficulties, and speaks of tho oath it? self as "a mere sieve to catch men with a conscience, and to let men through without it. It ought to be called a law to prevent men of truth and good repute from holding any office in the States lately in rebellion." -o-1- . NOT so CERTAIN.-Th? Now York Tribune is vexed ata disagreeme-.': between the two Houses on tho subject of the constitutional amendment ?bout the negroes. The decided refusal of the House to concur in the Se? nate'? amendment, makes the Tribune "far less certain as to the future of tho amend? ment on whioh so many hopes have been built." Friend Greeley is as troubled as a hon with a brood of young ducks which have gone into tbe water. The Republican wagon is just uow entering upon a newly cut road, full of roots and stumps, and it is awfully knocked and jarred from sido to sid?. There is nu telling what moment an axle-tree may break or thero may be a gene? ral smash. RKMOVAI? OF PonrnoAii DisAiuniriKy.- . The following is a correct list of the ex Confederates in the State of South Caroli? na, relieved on Tuesday by more than two thirds of the House of Representatives, and by a unmimous voto of the Senate: Rich laud County-Dr. J. W. Parker, Thomas J. LaMottu, ?nd Ainsley H. Monteith. Barn? well-N. G. W. Walker. Charleston-Wm. Whaley, E. M. Whitiug and B. F. Dunkin. Chester-W. P. Gill and Eli Cornwall. Col leton-J. R. Linder. Georgetown-S. T. Atkinson. Greenville-H. P. Hammett and F. C. Gower. Horry-C. B. Sawis. Fair? field-W. \V. Boyce. Marion-Ely God i old. Marlboro-W. D. Johnson. Sumter -Daniel Keels. -o ADVANCE IN SOOAK,-Within a few days, (says the Boston Journal,) refined sugar has advanced about 3}? cents per pound, owing to the political troubles in Cuba. The mar? ket is very buoyant for raw Bugara, and holders of stocks ure indisposed to sell even at the late advance. Tho present riso will have a tendency to stimulate shipments from Manilla and other sugar producing countries. -o VALUABLE MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE-I The valuable saw and grist mill of Dr. J. F. Usry, located near the Central Railroad, in Washington County. Ga., was destroyed by fire on Thursday night last. Thero was no insurance. Tho loss on the mill, lumber and fixtures will reach $10,000 or upward. Reports fron: the Indian country state that the Kiowa Indians had all come in and settled upon their reservation, and the advance of tho Arapahoes and Cheyennes was arriving. A velocipedist in Detroit got off his ma? chine and thnshed au impertinent pedes? trian who stopped his way; theu, remount? ing, was out of sight before tho uoarest policeman could interfere. Eleven prisoners effected their escape from tho Wilmington (N. C.) jail, a few nights ago. Four were recaptured, but the others aro H*ill at largo. A MATHEMATICA ii PKODIG Y-BLIN U Bm.. TUB CAXCUI?ATOH.-Bidder oed Barnum'J j famous "Lightning Calculator"-tho ODO for years the wonder of all England, and the other ot America-are both eclipsed by | a negro boy now in Richmond. Tho for? mer had sight, instruction, and other ad? vantages, while tho latter is a poor negro boy, who cannot see a wink, has lived two thirds of his years iu slavery, and never went to school for u day in his life. Tho mun o of our pod igy is Ben. Stevens. He is a native of Caroline, and was for? merly a slave of Dr. Morris, of that County. In 1864 ho first showed his skill at figures, but when ho learuod tho multiplication table, wo ore informed, ho soon astonished the poople of the neighborhood by his re? markable quickness at adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, but only lately did the story reach Itichnioud. A day or two ago he was brought to town, and on Tnosday evening, iu presence of a number of gentlemen, gnve an exhibition of his wonderful powers. Upon first sitrht of the illy-clad creature's grinuing month, retreating forohead, and ever-rolling, sight? less eye-balls, one would bo most likely to put him down as an idiot. But give him a "sum," as he calls a mathematical problem, abd he pricks his cars, opens his mouth, and shows that he is sensible enough. On the occasion referred to, every exam? ple propounded Ben. worked out quickly and correctly, without resorting to pencil or pen, of tho usn of which ho is, indeed, as ignorant as of tho nso of tho camera ob souro, or oxy-hydrogon" blow-pipe. lu several instnuoe be gave tho solution before the bystanders could work it out on paper. Long rows of figures (tens, hundreds and thousands) were retained upon his mind, and in every case correctly added. In sub? traction, though perfectly ignorant of the common arithmetical nomenclature, he was | equally quick; and the same may bs said of his exercises in multiplication. Finally, he was tested in square and cube root; and in that, too, showed bis proficiency. A stranger, asked the cubo root of 117,649. In a few moments Ben. promptly gavo the answer, to tho astonishment of the specta? tors.-Eichmond Dispcdcri. -o Siberia is evidently a good place to secure long lifo. At Irkout.sk, in Siberia, during I the year 1867, eleven persons died who were moro than 100 years old. Six had passed 110 years, two had attained 186, and another reached his 131st year.
