COLUMBI A, S. C. Wednesday Kornioff, January19,1870. REDT-OTTON rs PRICE-fJi-unnmo.-The WEEKLY GLEANER contains more reading matter than auy other family paper pub? lished in the Month-thirty-two long columns, printed in olear type. It is lilted with original as well as selected matter - editorials, correspondence, gene? ral uewH, markets, telegrams, interest? ing stories, sketches, poetry, etc. It? columns ure now graced by a highly entertaining nottvellette, tho production of a lady of this city, and which has hoon pronounced by disinterested critics ?is eqnal to the very best of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled ' '( hknoy, or the Po? tunes of Juliet Clay? burn -a talo of tho Palmetto State," and will run through about twenty numbers nf tho "GLEANER." AS we aro desirous of introducing the paper-which is in every sense a "home companion"-into every family in the State, we have de? termined to reduce the yearly subscrip? tion price, as follows-payable, in all eases, in advance: Single oopy $2.75; ten copies, (to one post office, ) $25.00; t wenty copieB 845.00; fifty copies $100. Tho GLEANER and the "Rural Caroli' niau"-the popular agricultural monthly -will bo furnished, for ono year, at ."our dollars. . Address orders to PHCENTX | and GLEANER Office, Columbia, S. C. SENATOR SAWYER RIGHT FOR ONCE. In the debato ou the admission of Vir? ginia, Mr. Sawyer said: "If I understood the remarks of the Senators rightly here, this morning, the real objection to her admission, is not that sho has not complied in form and lotter with the Acts of Reconstruction, but it is that lifo and property and per non aro not as safe in Virginia as we might desire they should be. And here, let me say to Senators, that Acts of Con? gress will never make lifo and property safo in tho Southern States; that test oaths will nover make life and property safe in those States; that relying on that kind of legislation to insure peace in the States of the South, will prove to be re? lying on a broken recd, and the sooner we dispossess ourselves of the idea that this or that particular oath, this or that irf:ojihi^nuali?cation for publip office ian burch is unquestionably ex? erted in favor of law and order, and is anxious to briug about a peaceful solu? tion of existing difficulties, yet the se? vero exactions of political associations, and thc mad enthusiasm, of political leadors, aro found to be utterly uncon? trollable. Donbtloss the real grievance of the people of Ireland-that whioh re? lates to tho tenure of lands-will ere long bo modified or utterly removed. This done, we can see no reason why the futuro of Ireland may not be as pros? perous as that of Scotland, which occu? pies a similar position in the United Kingdom. It may seem very patriotic to keep up perpetual disturbances, but it is by uo means consistent with religious prayers for either poaco or prosperity. Tho Northern, and especially tho large city papers, for some time past, are alarmingly full of accounts of suicides und murders of all degrees. There seems to bo a special mania for wife murders and mnrders growing out of jealousy and illicit amours. As we have got no Congress' down here, we cannot avail ourselves of those bloody facts to call for Northern reconstruction, or to authorize some Gen. Terry or another to tako military possession of the free? dom of tho commnnitiei in whioh these crimes occur. What is sauce for the Southern goose is not nt all sance for the Northern gander. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, ot Sunday, says: "Wo understand that the South Caro? lina Railroad Company intends building a new and very handsome depot in this '.?ty. The building is to be located on Washington streot, and will mn along thc eu tiro square, from Reynolds street lo tho river, owned by the company. At tho foot of Washington street, the bridgo over tho Savannah River, nov being built by that company and th charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Rail road will rest ita abutments, and a trac will mn directly into the depot whioh i to be ereoted." I * ^*???sph????a View of the- Labor <iuc? Mon. j MB. EDITOR: Saver al spaamod ic efforts I havo recently been made by our Legisla ; ture to subject agricultural contracts lo the snpervisiou of a State appointee/ I Every snch attempt bas evinced a special caro to protect the employee, or rather ! tho freedmen, regardless of the rights of the employer. Perhaps such legisla I tion may, perhaps it may not, bo gene? rally b?n?ficiai. Most certainly, such a hw will never enrich the negro. Be this ss it may, there is one idea I would sug? gest to Senator Wright and his confreres to have incorporated in the bill, and that is, simply to require the laborer to pay bia proportionate port of money ex? ponded necessarily for the success of the crop. For instance. Providence seems to have encouraged onr despondent planters by revealing to them, post bellum, im? mense beds of phosphatio deposits on oar own coast and in our own rivers. These fertilizers are known by intelligent minda to be incalculably valuable aa stimulants upon our impoverished or half-worn lands. And with their assist? ance large crops can be grown where otherwise a bare subsistence could bo re? alized. And yet, when tho planter who famishes the land and mules decides that it will pay him an handred fold, and of oourse pay his freedmen the same ratio, he has always to get the consent of the employee before he can invest a dime in this way, unless he determines before? hand to shoulder the expense, and give to the freeamen gratuitously the benefit of his parse and better judgment, winch oftener than otherwise, will pay him more than an 100 per cent, on his invest? ment of labor. Money invested in fertilizers will pay any planter. If a ton bo bought at 860, and be applied to ten adres with an increase over natural pro? duction of only one bale worth $90, it is an investment that pays fifty per cent. And it seldom if ever pays less. If tho freedmen are to get one-third or one half the crop, and be by law privileged to collect their share, why should not that same law compel them to pay for the extra benefits they derive from the investment made by the employer simply for the benefit of the orop? Equity de? mands that it should. These fertilizers are no manures, or permanent advantages to the soil. They are simply stimulants, nnd in that pro? portion ore exhaustive. Hence the em? ployer derives no subsequent advantages from the investment, but simply reap it annually with the laborer, and therefore should only be compelled to pay for surth nb ?m of the investment as he re? ceives of tho crop.

JN?URANOE POMCTEB OK TJIVES OP CoixFEDEKATKH DURING THE WAR.-An important question to insurance compa? nies, aa regards policies issued by them, before tho war, on lives of parties domi? ciled at the South and dying during the weir, was argned, last week, before the fOourt of Appeals, at Albany, New York, ' ana is now under advisement. 1t appears that the International Info Assurance Society, of London, having a local board and agency at New York, bad, before the war, insured, at New York, the life of Mr. Macmurdo, domi? ciled at Richmond. Macmurdo, for a I year before his death, which occurred in 18G2, daring the war, paid his premiums i to the company's special agent, at Rich? mond, In Confederate notes. The pre? sent action is to recover the amount ' insured. The company defend, on the ground that, as they were domiciled here, and the policy having been made and con? tinued in this State, and the agent having been appointed therein, the company weijo under the name legal obligations arising under the war as citizens. They claim, therefore, that the state of war WOE such a legal revocation of the agoncy al. Riebmond, and such notice to the insi ired of the foot that any dealings by hin i with the agent, especially those out side of the agent's usual custom and tint jority, snob, ns giving Confederate not 33 in payment of premiums, were illej ral and void. It is also alleged that pol cies of insurance on the goods or live s of public enemies, during the war, bec ime illegal, os opposed to public poli cy; and, if made before the war, aea mae suspended, for the same reason is t Jose made during the war; and that, (tl ie loss happened during such suspen? sion, there could be no recovery. It was claimed, also, that a neutral domi? ciled here was ander equal restraint, as regards such policies, as domestic com? panies, and that it would be as illegal for a neutral to establish a domicile in the State and continue a policy on an enemy's lifo therein, as would be its continuance by a domestic company. It is understood that many policies through- ; out the country are dependent upon the determination of the questions involved ! in this case, the result of which is looked forward to with great interest by insur? ance men. Mr. Barnes, Superintendent of the insurance department, was pre Bent in court, watching the cause, and ' others interested in insurance matters. I TICK GREAT $140,000 HORSE SUIT. Mr. Ten Broeck is engaged in a big horse j suit. The sum involved is said to be $40,000, bat we have reason to know that it is 8140,000. The stallion Eclipse was sent here daring the war to Major B. G. Thomas, by Mr. Ten Broeck, as his pro ?erty, and sent to Mr. Morris by Major homos for the safety of the horso, as he had just before that time been seized by the Federal soldiers and escaped from them. He was a large and vioious stal? lion, And whilst Major Thomas was in a Federal prison, the Federal soldiers seized Eclipso and took bim to their camp, where he crippled, and, perhaps, ? -jtil{evfr?:"rc7r.! ncl.liers. Ho wni scored i to a deo by a large rope, but through the j bril)-ry of a soldier, the rope around the horrb'u ueck was out and he was turned loos,? nt night among the soldiers' horses. Tin damage he committed is now well remembered by several who assisted in hading him out loose. It is singular that I Bftar he kicked and fought horses and m/n all night and during the next day, I bakery quietly went home and walked \jjm% his stablo with apparent satisfaction. [Lexington (?y.) Observer, 5/?. Henry Welcome was sentenced at Bur? lington, Vt., on Monday, to bo hanged on the third Friday in January, 1871. He assaulted and beat to death Mr. Perry Russell, an old and respected citizen, in his own house, after he hud retired to rest, and in the presence of bis aged wife. He is eighteen years old, and his purpose in committing tho murder was robbery. The year in? tervening he is to pass in solitary con? finement. ? STATK I.KCJISI.ATIHK. TUESDAY, January 18.

The senatorial preachers of the large Northern cities who ran away with other men's wives or daughters always begin their downward ea raer by making nin? compoops of themselves in the pulpit. At the Stanton testimonial meeting in New York the other day, the Ber. Dr. Bellows said of Lincoln and Stanton: "I should not have been surprised at any time to have found them looked in each other's arms and kissing like girls, after a day's struggle to bo stern and cold in the great and never-ceasing conflict with the enfeebling seductions of a betrayiug public." A mau was arrested in Now York, Monday, for appearing in the street with hand-cuffs on, and token to the station house as a supposed escaped criminal. His wife soon appeared, and explained matters. Her husband had shown pre? monitory symptoma of a "spree," and instead of shedding tears, she adopted her usual plan of baud-cuffing him, thus nipping in the bud the anticipated drunk. We have never heard of this plau before, but have been told of a courageous wife who locks up her husband's boots ou similar provocation. The Rochester Chronicle is respons ble for tho following: "A good thiug is told of a lawyer in this city, who was engag? ed in ii case before u justice. When tho opposing counsel ulluded to his 'bellicose friond, tho counsel on the other sido,' tho dignity of our friond WHS touched, and rising majestically, he said: 'I have practiced law before the bar of Munroe County for twenty yours, and never until now has my personal appearance boen alluded to by tho counsel opposed to me.' " A Qermau lias discovered a new kind of printing iuk, superior to any now in uso.

There are two exti-omo varieties o\ men those who never laugh, and th Ase who are perpetually laughing-and, Vf the two, we think we prefer the former. Man wus not intended to be eitbnr an owl or a laughing hyena, yet thera are many who carry the semblance of OIK or the other all their lives. Solemn nen there ure-men of grave und soler visage, who look os if they had bein boru before laughing was invented, aiVl were either incapable of getting up \ laugh or scorned n weakness unknown) when they came iuto the world; the keenest joke, tho wittiest retort, falls with un unmeaning sound upon their ear, aud they are never betrayed into a smile by objects and situations ludicrous in the extremo to other eyes. Then, there is tho mau who is always laughing laughs when he talks, laughs when he listens, (which is not often,) laughs when hu eats, wheu he drinks; yes, and is often known to laugh in his sleep. He tires you with so much laughing, if forced to be in his company, aud it is no easy task to got rid of him when he is once fastened on. You can walk away from the mau who never laughs, but the laughist is a bore, who positively refuses to be " shook. " Plead business, und he laughs; a pressing engagement, und he laughs again - nay, become offended and insist on going, and he will roar with merriment. You can't affront him, he will only laugh at tho attempt. Your laughist is never a funny man, although he thinks ho is, vs hieb muk?s it very bad. Ho has not even the sense to uiuke a good selection of thu wits he steals. He tells stale stories, making himself the hero of them, and although ho is tho only ono to laugh at them, this does uot disconcert him in the least. He invents new stories that have neither pith nor point, and laughs uproariously ut them. His most ordinary remarks regarding the weather or the statu of his health are delivered with a grin, and we doubt whether he could announce the death of bis great grand? mother without a huge guffaw. We like laughter and mirth; the laughter that is born of a light heart, ready when occasion colls; free, hearty, spontaneous laughter; evoked, not forced; from the depths, ond not frittering in perpetuar? play upon the surface Titi) Jftf^ibtl I ehrfdhoodf.
