COLUMBIA, 8. C. Friday Morn in sr, February 4,1870. RULE OF THE CARPET-BAGGER. Tb? .band-writing begins to appear on the walL The rule o? the carpet-bagger it passing away. Ilium fuit will soon be inscribed upon his insolent flag. Charm he erer BO wisely, not again will he clinrm the colored dope. The colored man is going to bate bia own. Mississippi scads a negro to the United States Senate, and let him take his seat - in Sumner's lap. South .Carolina elects a negro to the Su? preme Bench, and let him. take his seat by Mr. Chief Justice Moses and near by Mr. Associate Justice. "Willard. It is meet that this should be. Does it not place Mr. Moses where he ought to be delighted to.be? Standing, or rather sit? ting a sandwich between black bread and white butter, he ean say, with Mickey Free, with a sweetheart on the right and a sweetheart on the left-"I could be happy with either, were the other dear char mor away." This is the begin? ning of the end. Southern "Republi? canism" is progressive, and when it elects colored men to office and discards the "scalawag" and the carpet-bagger, it is also logical. It will, furthermore, bo sagaoions, when it comes to recognize in genuine Southern men its best allies, after all. ?-< -??-? The New York Herald puts it thus: "Southern States were required to ratify the fifteenth amendment, as n condition of restoration to the Union. As they could not be trusted to come in and then ratify it, they ratified first and then came in. They were, therefore, not in the Union when they acted on the Constitution, or else they were never out of the Union. Either, then, nil the re? construction laws of Congress are invalid, or these Southern ratifications of the fifteenth amendment are invalid. If the States were in the Union, there was no seed to admit them; and if they were not in the Union, they could not partici? pate in making laws for States that are in." - ?-???- ? Among other bright signs of a glorious future, Northern journals inform us that the rural population of New England is gradually passing away, being drained into the more fertile South and West. Farms are now selling at less than the buildings upon them cost, and nothing, save grave-yards, remain to show how densely the country was populated half a century ago. In every respect, politi? cal, social and religious, this result must be regarded as gratifying. The House Committee on thc Judi? ciary has agreed to report a bill to return to Mrs. R. E. Lee certain articles, for? merly the property of General George Washington, which were taken from Arlington by General McDowell, in the early part of the war, and are now in the possession of the Interior Department. Mr. Kerr, of Indiana, will offer the reso? lution directiug the return of the arti? cles, and it will be supported by every mcmbor of the committee. These arti? cles embrace the camp and field furniture of General Washington, a good deal of chinaware and considerable household furniture. They haw been for some yeats objects of interest and curiosity in the Patent Office. A bill bas been prepared by a Western Senator to enforce, by Congressional enactment, the provisions of the third section of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, whioh prohibits, among other things, any person from being a member of a State Legislature who had been engaged in aid? ing the rebellion, or giving sympathy and comfort to the same. The object of this is to reach the Kentucky and Maryland Legislatures, and to secure the re-orga? nization of the same on the basis of the third section of that amendment. It is maintained that at least thirty members of the Kentucky Legislature will be affected by suoh proposed legislation. The telegraph furnished an account some days ago of the murder of Colonel Coleman, an old and estimable citizen of Carroll County, Tenuessee, and the sub? sequent capture and lynching of five ne? groes for the offence. Before the ne? groes were shot by the lynchers, they confessed the deed, and further stated that, disguised as Ku Klux, they had beaten an old man named Bryant to death, attempted to ravish the daughter of a Mr. MoLain, murdered a youngman named Hurt, and committed many other outrages, including robbery and incen? diarism, in the same County. ASSASSINATION.-We have been shown ;i private letter, from a gentleman resid? ing ut Orange Springs, Florida, from which we learn that, a fow days ago, Mr. b. Lovell, residing near that placo, was shot from behind a gate, about ten step? distant, by some person unknown, while in the act of taking a drink of water, ho being in his own house. His body WUH pierced by ton buck-shot, pro duoiug death in a few minutes. Warren T. Hall and his son, aged about fifteen years, have been arrested, upon suspi? cion of being the murderers. Is THE PARAGUAYAN WAK ENDED? The Argentine troops have returned to their homes, und the Biazilinns are on the road homewards. This is the latest news from Rio. Now that tho field ic clear, wo may shortly expect to hear something of Lopo7: also returning home. _ STATE LKOI8LATiaB. THUBSDAT, February 3, 1870. SENATE. The Senate mot at ll a. m.

AFFAIRS IM EDOEFIKLD.-We learn that on Friday night last, while the passenger train on the Columbia and Augusta Rail? road was taking on water at the tank, just on the outskirts of the town of Granito ville, a negro from Virginia, on his way to the cotton and sugar fields of Louisi? ana, aroused from his sleep, and, in at? tempting to pass from one car to an? other, fell through into the canal aud was drowned before assistance could reach him. We are informed that two negroes in the vicinity of Haltiwanger's store, on the upper sido of the District, got into a fight on Friday, tho 21st, aud that one was stabbed so soverely that he died from his wounds on Sunday last. Con? stable Kennedy had not ascertained the name of either party or the causo of the difficulty, but left this (Wednesday) morning for tin scene of action, to ferret out tho matter and arrest the murderer.

Tn OuurviBB MINIBTBY-ITS Fntsr SUCCESS.-The debate in the Freo oh Chambers om the oom marcial treaties between Great Britain and France, and which waa brought to a close on Fri? day, revoals two things-Ara t, the strength of Napoleon; and second, the strength of the Ollivier ministry. M. Oflivier pro? claimed himself in favor of the commer? cial treaties. He did so openly and like a true man. From a Parliamentary point of view, his speech was open, honest, daring, almost to a fault Bot the voie which sustained the Govern? ment-201 against 82-was so sweeping that we have no longer any reason to deny that Napoleon, under constitutional government, is as strong as he was under the one-man system. Up to the present moment, M. Oilivier has done well. His is a peouliarly difficult position; but ho seems to be fully equal to all its require? ments.-iVeie York Herald. THE STATE AGBIC?I?TUBAI? SOCIETY. -A meeting of the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Sooiety was held in Columbia last week. A premium list of $7,000 was arranged for the next Annual Fair, and will be published in a fow days. Last year the premium list amounted to only $4,000. Wo ore glad to notice that the Society is going for? ward in tho good work it has under? taken, ned we trust that tho people of thia section will bo fnlly represented in the exhibition next fall. [Anderson Intelligencer. CONFEDERATE NAVAL OFFICE? Mi n DERED.-Captain Smith was murdered nt Fort Wrangler, Alaska, ou the 25th of December last, by a drunken Indian. The chief of tho village refused to sur? render the murderer, whereupon the commander of the fort shelled tho vil? lage, killing two Indians. After consider? able skirmisbiug, the murderer was sur? rendered, tried by court-martial und hanged. Captain Smith was formerly in I tho Confederate naval service. MAIL, ROBBERY.-We understand that i in consequence of several mouey letters I having recently miscarried through I White Pond Post Office, S. C., a specinl detective of the Post Office Department visited that offico a few days since, and, by mailing a decoy letter, succeeded in ascertaining tho probable cause of the several losses e o ni plain ed of. The bait j throwu out was found in possession of : the postmaster, who has been held to au j explanation,-Augusta Constitutionalist. There is a lot of Bohemians in Wash ' ington who make a precarious liviug by 1 writing speeches for illiterate Cougress I men. They write for any party and on j either side. One related recently, in ! great glee, how ho had prepared a speech for an honorable member, and a few days afterward was employed to answer his own argument by a gentleman in tho op? position, which ho did with a decided success. A negro was caught iu a gentleman's ; garden at Roanoke, N. C., the other j night, in close proximity to a lot of flue cabbages. When interrogated as to what ho was doing, he replied, "Good Iiord! dis niggar can't go uowhar to pray with? out bein' troubled!" Tho uext day it was discovered that he had prayed some half dozen heads of cabbage off their \ stalks. Some music teacher once wrote that i "the art of playing n violiu requires the ' nicest perception aud the most sensibili? ty of any art in the known world." j Upon which nu editor comments in the ' following manner: "Tho art of publish ? iug a newspaper, aud making it pay, nud at the same time making it please every? body, beats fiddliu' higher tbau a kite." RUSSIA, AN? AUSTRIA.-Considerable attention has been directed to the lately J published pamphlet of the Russian Gen. ? Fadejew, who openly, and without any ! reservation whatever, proclaims the dc I molition of Austria as the safety impera? tively demanded by Russia, and without which no development of Russia is pos? sible. An important caso has recently been tried, in Edgetield, where one man sued another for enticing off bia negro labor? ers. The jury made the defendant pay I $300 damages and all costs. It was alleged that the negroes were enticed off, or hired by tho defendant, about tho lust of January, after they had been already hired and sot to work by thc plaintiff. Tho parties to this suit were neighbors. A woman who wants a divorce at In? dianapolis, says her husband has only bought her a pair of shoe-strings since their marriage. Our sympathies aro with her. What woman could be sup? posed to mako a decent appearance dressed only in a pair of shoe-strings? [Exchange, Eve's husbaud never gave her that. The steam tug which acted as a sort o? consort or pilot to tho iron-clad Miauto nomah, on the voyage to Portland, to meet the Peabody funeral fleet, burst her boiler, while steaming a short distance ahead of tho monitor, and, boforo the headway of tho latter could bo arrested, was run dowu aud sunk. Four firemen on the tug were drowned. There is a queer suit hoing tried in Ulster County. A young lady, who wished to murry a youth with 810,000, promised a lady friend $3,000 for her assistance, if tho game proved success? ful. Tho young fell a victim, of course; but tho successful brido refused to pay tho $3,000, when demanded, aud this suit is tho result. | As au evidence that tho pen is mightier than tho sword, especially on dogs, we will relate nu occurrence ut Detroit. A largo tin pon, used as a sign in front of a stationer's store, was blown into the air by tho wind, and came down on tho back of a large dog, pinning him to the earth and killing him instantly. Prentice, seeing a newspaper article ou "Religion in Chicago," says that if there was any religion in Chicago at the mo? ment tue artiole was written, the man who carried it there must have left on the next train. "What made you quit th? East?" said a maa in Nevada to a new-comer. "I got into trouble by marrying two wives," was the rasponee. "Well," said the other, "I came out here because I got inte trouble by marrying only one wife." "And I," added a by-stander, "came here, because I got into trouble simply by promising to marry one." On the opening of the (Ecumenical Council on December 8th, Monsignor Gandoliff was preparing to enter the Vatican, when two strange priests assist? ed him to drees. He afterwards dis? covered that the strangers had taken a magnificent golden cross set with dia? monds, which the Pope had presented to him. A newly-married mau at Hannibal, Mo., threw his wife into the river, and then repented and jumped in and rescued her. When n policeman undertook to arrest the man, his wife defended bim with a piece of board, and would not see her darling taken to jail. There ?H no way of accounting for the eccentricities of these women. At a Christmas dinner in Santa Bar? bara, California, sweet and Irish pota? toes, vegetables of nil kinds, lemons, pomegranates, olives and strawberries, were served fresh from thu garden, and the table was adorned with lemon, apple, strawberry and raspberry blos? soms. Alfred Henning, thc oldest member of tho New Orleans bar, died in that city, on Saturday last.

On her downward trip from Augusta, tho steamer Swan lost a colored passengei overboard, about ten miles below this city. Edward Simmons, the passengei in question, was engaged in moving some freight, and lost his balance. [ .4 tttfusta Const Hvtioncdistt.
