COLUMBIA, S.. C. Friday morning, February 18,1870. A FINK Fiann FOB WORKINGMEN. Under this heading the New York Herald Baja the South, from Virginia, yea from Maryland to Texas, is affine field for workingmen at this time, when in all branches of labor and trade in the North the supply of workingmen so far exoeeds the demand that many thou BBU?3 of willing hands are our of em? ployment. "The . South?" says the Herold, ??invites them to .'domo on,' we hare room enough, and work enough, and land and bread enough, for all. Why cannot societies, then, be formed in the cities and towns of the North, where labor is in excess of the demand, for the purpose of providing work and homes for these unemployed, able-bodied men in the South? We would call the attention of all concerned to this im? portant subject.Tho Herald is right. The South offers a field in which capital and industry can find a remunerative re? turn, and to which the honest settler, from whatever State or country he may come, will be welcome. GEN. BUTLER'S DISABILITY BILL.-The bill which Gen. Batter reported from the Reconstruction Committee on Thursday, is not the kind that is wanted. It makes the conditions which a person must Ali before receiving his pardon, too embar? rassing and humiliating. It arranges for public notice to be given of the in? tention of each one to apply before the courts for a removal of disabilities, and thns a sort of- interest is given to each occasion; and the recital of a penitent's "acts done against the Government" is heard by hundreds of persans who have ?one the same thing, and an espril is ex? cited which is more apt to revive old rebel jubilation than to reclaim old rebel sinners. What we want is something broad and statesmanlike, something that is univer? sal, which excepts nobody, imposes no conditions and asks no retractions, but which simply says: "We forgivo voa; go and sin no more." There is nothing to do but to issue a general bill under the clause of the fourteenth amendment, providing that two-thirds of each house of Congress may relievo personal disa? bilities. The mode is so simple, that if Gen. Butler goes to work in tho right way, he eau dispose of it moro easily tban he did of Cox. \New York Herald. THE UNITED STATES COURT-Wednes? day, February 16-Hon.

This functionary re? ported five murders in Oconeo County just five more than occurred. Such is tho reliability of the Governor's Chief of Police!-Keowee Courier.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.-W? had the gratification yesterday morning, of examining the model of a machine which is destined, we verily believe, tc make a revolution in .street railroading, This improvement is the invention ol Mr. J.

During two years past, Mr Glenn hos been perfecting his car ant epplying the prinoiples to other ma I chines, such ns dredges, elevators, ant paddle wheels. It would, perhaps, be a well for the parties interested in on contemplated street railroad line to ex amine this model, which may bo see: at this office, for a day or two.
