, B^Tu*S&7*&*>?* U, 188?. ?lu MM???? ?ir President Qmk When t'reaide?t Grant issn ed bia inaugural, ba said in effect that be would have no will to oppose to that of Con? gress. ? We regard'bis recent message as somowhat illustrating this proposition. Hie message, in the beginning, rory properly and- naturally refers to the magnificent prospects of this vast .country, r?eaf? great, and yet not half def eloped. With regard to Southern reob?strnoti?n, fie bas a good word for Virginia; butas to Georgia, he wants . ber, as. the New York Herald well ex? presses it, "to say her lesson over again. " As for Mississippi and Texas, he hopes these State? will come out all right-that as, according to the radical programme. Ca tho subject of our nuances, the Presi? dent endorsee the views of the Secretary of the Treasury, and favors a gradual re? turn to specie payments. On the sub? ject of our foreign relations, tho message is Conservativo, and seems to favor the plan of leaving complications to bo ?o^ed by time. The President is in no hirey to go to tho rosene of G aba. As to the Tenuro of Oi?ico Law, the Presi? dent ls decided. Ho urges its repeal, tn. flue, excepting on this question, tile Pr?jftdeift;i??} sates no views or policy likely to provoke nny antagonism be? tween tiirnsolf and COD gr ess. The mes? sage is brief. Whilst we do not agree with the views and spirit of this docu ment in nil respecta, we are enabled to say that, as a State paper, it is olear, comprehensive, and praotieal, and if it ?boompliahea no great good, it is cer? tainly not likely to work any serious in? jury. "A Gnoss iNDiONrrr TO SOTJTH CAHO UNA SEN ATO R3."-Under this heading the radical paper in Richmond, Va., saje; "A gross outrage was perpetrated on'the 6th inst, at Glover Hill Station, on tho Danville Railroad, by the au? thorities of that road, by ejecting from the ears three colored State Senators ' from South Carolina, and treatiug them to indignities. United States Senators Sawyer and Robertson and several mem? bers of Congress from South Carolina, on their way to Congress, were accompa? nied-by three State Senators of tho same State, highly respectable colored men, all bright mulattoes. These latter pur? chased first class tickets at Columbia, and rode in a first class car through the reconstructed States of Sonth and North Carolina, without molestation; but when they reaohed the Virginia line their troubles began. At Danville they were ordered out of tho first class car, but re? fused to leave it There was a good deal of excitement, sud no effort was at once made to eject them. On reaching Clover Hill station, however, two of them hap? pened to get out to obtain refreshments, and when they would havo entered again were refused admittance, and forced to take their places in n common car. The third, Senator Wright, was then ordered out, but persisted in retaining hi8seat. At Clover Station, however, by order of Preside nt Buford, our in? formant says, he was forcibly and roughly ejected, amid great confusion and excitement, and mnch to tho indig? nation of the South Carolina Senators and members. It is said there was a lively time on board the train." In the proceedings of Congress, on the 7th, the passage of the bill to re? move political disabilities from sundry citizens of the Southern States, therein named, was urged by Messrs. Robertson and McCr eery. Mr. Sumner inquired if this bill had been referred to the proper committee. Mr. Robertson stated that tho bill itself had not been referred, but the names had all been considered by the Committee on Disabilities. Mr. Oonkling was not one of those anxious for the removal of political disa? bilities. This was the only punishment on men who had originated the most guilty rebellion the world ever saw. After some further discussion the bill was passed. Beth Houses of Congress have passed a bill relieving the following South Ca? rolinians from their political disabilities. The bill was signed to-day by the Presi? dent, and is therefore now a la> t : W. W. Boyce and Calvin Bryce, of Fairfield; James M. Martin, of Abbeville; N. G. W. Walker and Thomas J. Webb, of Anderson; E. M. Whiting and J. F. Greene, of Charleston ; W. P. Gill. Eli ?Cornwall and Willam MoAliley, of Ches? ter; J. E. Callender, of Col le tun; J. R. Oatlin, of Darlington; S. T. Atkinson, of Georgetown; H. P. Huunicut and F. -G. Gower, of Greenville; G. B. Sar vis, -of Horry; Samuel J. Stuart, of Lexing? ton; Eli Godbold, of Marion; John W. A. Harkness, of York; W. D. Johnson, of Marlboro; George W. H. Legg, ol Spnntanburg; Daniel Keels and R. S. M ellet, of Sumter. It is said that the vote of Georgia for tbs ratification of the fifteenth amend? ment will complete the necessary num? ber, and that Senator Moi rill's bill for tba reconstruction of that State will have the effect of seouring the ratification ol the amendment. Among the appointments recently made in Washington, we notice the fob ?c?ing foif South Carolina: Thomas F. Ihm field, Night Inspectorat Charleston; Wm. H. Gardner, Assistant Assessor, First District, South Carolina. ...... -A?,., .-^.-^ Charleston 18 mom de pluma the feeing and ot CJohmabisi, in otion of .'a bnit??ing House and Post Office; and notwithstanding a quasi com? pliment paid to "Senator Robertson" in the introduction, yet the implied thrust at the honesty of purpose of Coi. Ro? bertson, or some other member of "the party," (presumed to be a different one from that which "Corsair" may be con? nected with,) whiob your humble cor? respondent deems highly unjust, un? grateful and unfounded. I need only mention a fact to show tho inconsistency of the statement of "Cor? sair." The City Council, it has been saia, decline to grant or cede to the United Stales Go-, er um ont a lot for the purpose above mentioned, in considera? tion of its impoverished, condition, yet immediately or shortly after this de? cision, tho samo circumspect and im? poverished municipality donate the sum of $8,000 to erect buildings for the pur? pose of holding a Fair. Conclusively the reason alleged for not relinquishing tho ground for a public edifice, whioh would be an ornament and advantage to the city at present and in futnre, is sot in reality the real cause of objection, (the depleted condition of the municipal treasury,) but because the professed edifice is not to be situated on the spot which may be most convenient for the particular few who sign a petition "ask? ing the Legislature to not pass the bill." This is not the most objectionable por? tion of the remarks of the correspond? ent of the News. He implies a want of integrity of purpose and dishonest in? tentions on the part of our representa? tive, in designating the special pieoe of property now called for. There are certainly many honest men of the "poli? tics" of the writer of the article to which I now reply; but he should remember that there are those of the opposite party with equal lofty sentiments and pur? poses for the publio weal, and should not indulge in allusions whioh are PO totally without foundation, and which can be proved to be incorrect by oitizens of Columbia, and by ONE OF THEM. ?->-?-? The following is a copy of tho bill to alter and amend the charter and extend the limits of the eily of Columbia: Be il enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Caro? lina, noio met and silling in General As? sembly, and by the authority of the same: SECTION I.

A private party who arrived hero yesterday from the Court House, brought information of tho affair. He states, that on last Wednes? day, John Robinson's circus company arrived in the village, for the purpose of giving two exhibitions, and that an im? mense crowd of white men and negroes had come in from the snrrounding coun? try to witness tho performances. On Wednesday night, the canvas was crowd? ed, as were also the tents in whioh were tho jugglers, and the "greut natural cu? riosities, " which usually accompany these caravans, and are denominated "side? shows." It was iu one of tho side-shows that the row is said to have originated, though in what manner we were unable to learn. At all events, pistols were drawn by both sides and freely used. Before tho difficulty could be stopped, the scalawag Clerk of the Suporior Court was shot and instantly killed, and an? other white man, unknown, was so fear? fully beaten in the head with the but of a revolver, by some one of his adversa? ries, that hi9 wounds proved mortal, and he died during the night. As if to put the finishing touch to this oarnival of blood, our same informant states, that on that night, the negro mi? litia, who have been on duty at Edgetield Court House for some time past, arrested a white citizen of the County, on a charge of being a rebel bushwhacker, and in revenge, they said, for the mur? der of negroes by the whites, gave him a speedy trial and executed him bv baWg"? ing his* t? ? iree in the village. ?Augusta Chronicle, 10th.
