COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Horning, January 28. 1870. THE LIGHT IN THE WEST.-In the de? bato in the United States Congress on the admission of Virginia, one significant fact was developed. The Republican liberality that was evinced and that strook banda with the Democracy, came from tue Weal. The West has power. When to power it adds liberality, that power will be greater and the country will be the better off. The Baltimore Sun says: "The New York Journal of Commerce says truly that the unconditional admis? sion of Virginia, if the Senate pass the Houso bill, will be due to the Western Republicans. Bingham, of Ohio, the anthor of the bill; Garfield, of the same State; Logan and Farnsworth, of Illinois; Blair, of Michigan, and other typical Western men, gave to the measure their powerful support on the critical motions, and but for their exertions tho bill would have been defeated in the House. Tho liberal support given to the bill in the Senate by Trumbull, of Illinois; Car? penter, of Wisconsin; Schurz, of Mis? souri; Nye and Stewart, of Nevada; Sherman, of Ohio, and others from the Baue great section, is also noted. "The broader statesmanship und greater heart of the Western men in this controversy, is held to present such a contrast to the meaner policy and more unforgiving, ungenerous and suspicious disposition of leading men from the New England States, headed by Sumner and Butler, of Massachusetts, as to enti? tle na to claim the Virginia unconditional admission bill as the offspring of tho WeBt. That the West should have pro duoed it, is held to be a very significant fact, full of good for the present and rion in the promise of greater good for the future. We do not infer from it that there will be a distinct sectional organi? zation in Congress which will pit the West against New England or any of the middle States. Such divisions would not be desirable in Congress. But when the question comes up ns between the supremacy of New England and that of the West, we find no cause of regret in the thickening omens that the sceptro of political power in Congress is passing into Western hands." . ? ? ? PRINCE ARTHUR.-The National Repub? lican, of Monday, chronicles the Princo's arrival and movements in Washington. lt gives tho followiug pen and ink sketch of the distinguished young gent: "He is quite a nice and healthy-look? ing youth, apparently about five feet eight inches in height, and looks to weigh about 132 pounds. His costume was such as any avenue exquisite could wear, consisting of dark pants and heavy brown melton sack overcoat, with dark neck scarf, secured by a handsome pin. His hat is of tho latest New York stylo. Ho carried a light walking cane, with ivory handle. The Prince has quito light hair and sandy whiskers. Upon reaching tho carriage, he jumped nimbly in, and was followed by Mr. Thornton and Colonel Elphinistone, his guardian. Mr. Trench, Mr. Fane, and two gentlemen of the Prince's suite, took seats in another car? riage, and the party drove quickly away." The Winntboro News remarks: "Wo give the PHOENIX to-day the benefit of printing in full, in another column, its ooinmeiits upou a late edito? rial of the Wiuusboro News, Contro? versial writing is the easiest in the world, so wo will uvoid it, remembering Gold? smith's humorous characterization of tho school-master as one who 'e'en though refuted, he could agreo still.' Truth, without controversy, will more effectu? ally prevail." The News canuot have less taste than we for controversy. But wo have a way of seeking to corret what we deem erro? neous, and of insisting upon what we deein right, and this does sometimes lead to controversial writing. We nei? ther invite nor decline anythiug of tho sort. ?-#??-?----? To THE EDITOR or THE PHOENIX: Our citizens would doubtlessbe far more inte? rested in the receut appearance of the Fourth Reader, of Dr. Reynolds-the last of his series-if they knew the character of the book. I mean as to its literary character, apart from its uso as a school book, lt is certainly something of inte? rest to have n volume containing, as this does, prose articles from the pens of men who have lived in our midst; such ns Maxcy, and Henry, and Thornwell, and Preston, and Palmer, and Simms, uud LeConte, aud Saehtlebeu; aud of writers still among us, as Gen. Preston, Mrs. Martin, Dr. Howe, Dr. LaBorde, aud Dr. Woodrow. We have also poems by our youug friends in tho pust, Caldwell", and Martin, and Timrod; aud, in the present, Mrs. McCord, Mrs. Stratton, and Prof. Rivers. Besides the?e, there are articles by about 15?> other writers, mostly Southern. This Fourth Rinder concludes the ttd mirablo series of Rond?is, prepared by Dr. Reynolds, of tho University of South Carolina, and published by Duffie & Chnpman, of this city, within the past year. I am confident that our peoplo will not withhold a liberal patronage of these books, when they are once made aware of their true merits. COLUMBIAN. A citizen of Concord, X. H., surprised his wife and paramour a few days ngo, and settled tho little adair with tho latter by taking his notes on the spot for $5,000. Now the paramour believes that he was seduced by conspiracy, and is going to sue both husband and wife. STATE JL.KOI8I.ATU11K. THURSDAY, January 27, 1870. SENATE. The Renato met at 42 tn.

Tho Committee on Engrossed Bills reported, as duly engrossed, a bill to amend the charter of tho Georgetown Railroad Company and the Acts amenda? tory thereto. Tho bill was read the third time, and ordered to he enrolled, j The Committee on Roads, Bridges aud Ferries reported favorably on a bill to J form a company for constructing a turu pike road through or near Sassafras Gap; also, unfavorably, on a bill to com- I pel owners of mills to keep iu repair j their dams and bridges.

The Frenc h steam vessel which arrived j in Charleston, from Port-au-Prince, on Wednesday la.st, lost over fifty of her crew, from yellow fever. Several of the crew aro now sick. Among the pas Bengoro (all negroes) are several high ! Haytien dignitaries, no less than the j Commanding General of tho Insurgents, | who made a narrow escape, as ho had been sentenced to he shot. The Secre-1 tary of tho Council, a Priest, is also a passenger, and wo presume, also, a re? fugee. Tho Captain states, that on the 10th of January tho President of Hayti (Saluave) was shot, with all his minis? ters. CONTINOEN* EXPENSES OP THE UNITED STATED S KN ATE.-Some suggestive and rather amusing items of information may bo found in the report of the Secretary of the Senate, detailing the contingent ex? penses of that august body for the year ending December S, 1869. This docs moot tells just what newspapers each Senator prefers to read at the public ex? pense, and shows a laudable painstaking on the part of them all to be kept fatly informed of events and opinions in the States which they respectively represent. It is hard to understand, however, that Senator Edmunds should find it needful to the discharge of his tin ty to hove Our Voung Eolhs for one y ear, at a cost of $2; Senator Saulsbury, Demores?? Monthly, at Si; Senator Harlan, the Ladies' Repo? sitory, Leslie's Magazine and Leslie's Pic torial, at 84 each; und Seuator Cole, OH-. ver Optic's Roys' and O iris' Magazine, at j S3. We find again $5 charged at one time, and S3 nt another, for snuff for the | uso of Senators. Three packages of i scissors, in extra super velvet cases, aro . put down at SIT), and no end of two, I tlireo and four-bladed penknives, at all ! sorts of prices. On the 19th of Febru ary, S10 was paid for hack hire, convey- j ing n committee to iuform Gen. Grant of I his election; while the next day only S? was paid for conveying another commit- j tee to Gen. Grant'? residence. Pocket books aud card cases figure frequently iu the list of articles purchased, some ot them costing 84.50 each. Four dozen I ladies' boxes are set down at 824, but what use they were intended for is not told; nor is the name set down of the happy recipiont of ono extra morocco | note case, with lock, at 821. On tho 19th of May, 1869, it appers that some- ' body had a polished rosewood desk, 8230, which was boxed up at a further I cost of S8. The amount of stationery of all sorts is incredible. Without having ' gone into a thorough computation, one would say that tho honorable Senators ! must have several hundred of glass ink- ; stands, more than a thousand dozen of, penknives, and enough lead pencils to keep an ordinary family in kindling wood j an entire wiuter. The cutir? account covers eighty pages of fine print. i THE UNITED STATES COURT-Hon. GEORGES. BHVAN presiding-WEDNES? DAY, January 20. Es parte W. H.

THE FEEJEES, Too.-Tho Uuited States J ship Jamestown, arrived at San Francisco from tho Feejeo Islands, brings tho joy-1 ful intelligence that those enlightened j cannibals desiro annexation to the United States. Tho Feejeo group of islands numbers 154, sixty-five of which are inhabited, and they aro reported as pro ducing a splendid article of sea island ; cotton. Why not annex them, however, I for tho purpose of a commercial and j naval station in the South Pacific Ocean? i In answer to the petition of the island? ers, lot the Jamestown be sent hack with the glad tidings to them that, on the condition that they stop roasting and eating missionaries, they are annexed. THE CANDY ADULTERATIONS.-The re? velations concerning the adulterations used in tho manufacture of candy at New York, have created quite a sensation. Wholesale dealers report a large falling off in sales, and those who sell at retail also complain of dullness. It is stated that a sure tost to discover foreign sab stances in lozenges, opaque candy, or sugar plums, is simply to dissolve tho articles in water. If tho water remains transparent, thc candy is pfcre; but if milky or depositing a sediment, terra alba or some other dangerous stuff has been used. The Conference of tho African Metho? dist Church is now being held in Charles- j ton. Among the proceedings of that body was a resolution that all persons eating in the pulpit or spitting on the | floor be lined. Auother Philadelphia di ng clerk has succeeded in furnishing a family with a corpse for a funeral by elealing out j opium instead of rhubarb. Next! "Just tho thing!"
