Tueifliy kerning, March 1,1870. ~7. Political liuabllltleu. We ara glad to notice the indications of s more gener?os pol ia y on this sub? ject. Even radical Congressmen are beginning,to realizo the uustatesmanlike mode of doHng oak "pardons" bf piece meat Not long will it be permitted for tBffBBWWW of Oongrwr? sereot tho men from .whom disabilities are to be re? moved-.-thus confluing the removal of disabilities to a certain class of Bon them men. In a debate on this subject, as reportad in the New York World, Mr. Brooks, (Democrat,) of New York, and others expressed themselves very decid? edly. Wo append the remarks made: Mr. Brooks (Dom., N. Y.) declared himself opposed to the whole system of peddling; oht pardons in detail; it was wrong from beginning to ead, unworthy the oharsoter of the Government, undig? nified and improper; and. if there' were no other mei?ner to vote against lt, he would vote against it alone.. There was much to be said against the people of the South, -but there was also much to be said in their favor-of their heroism, of their Anglo-Saxon, native^ Amoxiaan plack? ot. the wonderful resources they had exhibited. He desired to havo them weloorhed back, so that in',case of a foreign war, they would fight alongside tho.people of tho North, in common d?? fonce of thereonntry. He had felt proud of their heroism, and ho had felt prond of f)he generous terms accorded to them at Appomattox Court House by the gene? ral of tho army, and he only wished that distinguished officer was os generous now as he was then-that he were less of a politician and more of a general. He wished that such generosity should be exhibited to the people of the South, as that the Government could safely calcu? late on the aid of their half million rifles in any war that it might be engaged in against England, Franco, or Spain. There was no self-government in the South. More had been imposed on that people than hr,d ever boen imposed by any civilized people upon any subjugat? ed nation.. They had been robbed of self-government: the military hod been placed over them; their States had been re-organized by force; they had been made slaves of slaven. Was not that punishment enough? Was not that re? venge enough? Had not the amplest desire of punishment been gratified? He appealed to' tlie Houso to rise to the mag? nitude of the occasion and throw wide open the doors of pardon. Mr. Beck, (Dem., Ky.,) whilo agreeing with his friend from New York as to the propriety of passing a general amnesty 'bili, expressed his surprise ut hearing' him say he would vote against this bill. For his part, he would vote for overy bill removing the disability of any person. Mr. Yoorhees (Dem., Ind.) concurred with his - friend from Kentucky, and, hoped the day of the promulgation of a general amnesty bill was not far distant. Mr. Farnsworth expressed a like senti? ment. Mr. Wood -was opposed to dealing out tho clemency of Congress in these doses, and was sorry-to behove that they were prescribed' thf partisan committees out? side and inside of Congress. Mir. Wood trusted thia bill would re? ceive th? votoa of members on both sides! , Mr. HotobkUs (rad., N. Y.j was iu fuvor of rejeotiog this bill, so as to se? cure the more speedy passage of a gene? ral amnesty bill. Mr. Maynard (rad., Tenn.) moved to strike out the names of Messrs. Brown, MoKennon, Wright, Thomas and Don? nington, of Tennessee. Messrs. Golladay (Dem., Ky.) and Randall (Dem., Pa.) opposed Mr. May? nard's amendment, and favored tho pas? sage of the bill. Mr. Maynard's amendment was reject? ed, and Mr. Whittemore's amendment was adopted. Mr. Potter (rad., Va.) moved to strike out the names of A. H. Stuart, II. T. Daniels, F. Maney, Willis G. Dunce, K. S. Graves, James H. Cox, Asa Rogers and John H. Meredith, of Virginia. The amendment was rejected. After remarks by several other mem? bers, tlie bill was passed by the necessary two-thirds majority. A PAUDON- IN ADVANCE.-Gov. Scott, we thought, was swift to pardon, but Gov. Bullock, it appears, outstrips his South Carolina brother in the race. Chief Constable Hubbard, it will be re? collected, was arrested in Augusta last fall, and held to bail by Justice Ells the charge being false imprisonment. Gov. Scott sent the required amount of bail. Tho case was to be tried ^uexb week, but Gov. Bullock has sent a pur? don to Mr. Hubbard in advance of his trial. The Chronicle and Sentinel mya: There is no doubt in the world that if Hubbard should have como to trial, he' would have been convictod, ns the testi? mony against him was of tho most posi? tive and convincing nature. Indeed, so> assured was the prisoner himself, of thu result, that he had announced hie inten? tion of not coming to Augusta when the Snperior Court met, preferring rather to lot the money of South Carolina bo forfeited than to fuco n Georgia jury. Thus Bullock has again interfered with and arrested the process of the law, by moans of a document, which, as Govern? or, he has the honor, wo behove, of hav? ing invented-a pardon in advance of a trial. Parson Cain, in the Missionary Record, advocates the eleotion of at least two colored members of Congress, and one colored United States Senator from South Carolina in the next campaign. instan!?, with ArmfsiaL jfe ...fcve?'it printed. It bat been tho o OB tom for a loug while to allow members to have their ?pc ecu ea printed when they really were never delivered in the Honae. It seems that in this case Mr. Mungen used language with reference tu ?euatoi Som ner and to the. administration, whioh would have been considered nnparlia Ei en ta ry (bad tho speeoh been delivered) j oerfc?in members ol the Republican side of the Hoose, and they now object to ita being printed, and have introduced and adopted a resolution looking toward censure. The ieaolutiou directs the Committee on Roles to inquire into and report whether Gen. Mengen has not abused the privilege, and violated the rules of the Hon so, and whether he should not be censured. : No one doubts what the reeu?t of the examination will be. The Republicans will be only too glad fo br i n ? in a. vote bf censuro against a De? mocratic member. Mr. Mongan un? doubtedly desiros the oommittoe, to which hie,speech, was referred, to report in favor ox a censure, UH . it would give him ah opportunity to deliver himself of tho speech which he is How preparing. lt is thought Mr. Mnngen's speech wilt h a YO tho desired effect to abolish tho practioo of printing in tbe Globe, bun comb speeches never delivered. The. 137th anniversary of the birth-day of Washington was most appropriately observed here on Tuesday. Tho national flag waa displayed from all tho public buildings, and business of oil kinds ex? cept ?be restaurant business was gene? rally suspended in the afternoon. The most notable feature in the observance was a meeting of tho "Oldest Inhabi? tants," whioh organization now numbers 120 members, the oldest of whom, nearly 100,' is Samuel Wells, who seems to take great comfort in narrating the incidents connected with carrying the chain for Washington on his surveying expedi? tions. He states that he commenced when he was ten years old, and received for his services twenty-five cents per day, and dinner at a tavern. The resolution whioh passed the House on Monday, directing the Banking Com? mittee to report a bill to issue an addi? tional ?50,000,000, has been discussed in the committee. The committee is divided between legal-tenders and na? tional bank notes. Bontwell is decidedly opposed to this increase, and conse? quently much opposition is expected from the few who swear by the Secre? tary's financial plans. The General Land Offico is in receipt of advices from tho Surveyor-General of Nebraska, showing the completion of twenty-six townships along the lino of the Union Pacific Railroad, in the South? ern part of the State, embracing 000,000 .acres. This tract is generally rolling prairie, with firsthand second rate soil, j producing a free growth of bunch grass, and well adapted for grazing purposes. Tho report which was submitted on Monday, in the House, by tho Commit teo on Military Affairs, with reference to the sale of cadetahips, hos produced tre? mendous excitement among the South j ern members. Mr. Whittemore, a mern \ ber from South Carolina, was found guilty of selling a cadetship to West Point, and to the Naval Academy at Aunapolis, Maryland, and it was recom? mended by the committee that he be ex? pelled from the House. It is said that all of those who are implicated are from the South, and are what are termed "carpet-baggers." It is very proper that these little mat? ters bo ventilated occasionally in Con? gress, in order that there should be an appearance, nt least, of virtue in our halls of legislation. If these investiga? tions tended to purify the moral atmos? phere of our political circles, they onght to be applauded. But there comes in the doubt. They have only a tendenoy to check the timid for awhile. The more bold feel that they can take advantage of tbe situation, and plunge iuto other schemes with impunity. What is the difference in moral turpitude between selling n cadctsbip, and breaking that commandment which says, "thou shalt not lie?" Yet where has there ever been a committee to investigate the veracity of u member or a Senator, or the head of any department? Did any one who has over had dealings with any of these re forred to above, know of an instance whero they were wilfully or otherwise deceived? While all admit that this bargain and I ale of cadets!) ipa is a thing which has a very demoralizing tendenoy, still it is not improper to remark that in? vestigations of small vices are sometimes instituted in order to divert attention and to give free license in larger ones. Promptly at 2 p. m., yesterday, as por resolution on Monday, permission was allowed to Mr. Whittemore to show cause why judgment should not be pro? nounced upon him for being influonced by pecjniary considerations in his np poiutujeuts of cadets. Tho halls and tries of the ??otise -were filled to overflowing, in anxious expectation of witnessing the final departure of ono of the honorables.' You could hear from all parte.of the gallery, which one is Whitte? more?- Whero does he sit? Fingers from' all parts woro pointing to tho accused, and so great was tho confusion, tho Speaker had no little difficulty in sustaining order. HOMO. WORSE AND Wons?.-Butler, a radical Congressman from Tennossee, not only confesses that he sold a cadetship, and used the money in elections, but says, in addition, that General Schofield, tho Secretary of War, was cognizant of tho transaction and approved it! Tho pros? pect is, that if this investigation be pushed, the entire body of radical officials will be found implicated ia some dishonorable transaction. . innumerable- crime?, i charge that "D. rVj?? Aiken;W*??06? sible (qr all tyB,^n*?5ars committed in Abbeville County immediately before and at the late general elections." The mi? nority report, signed by "Javan Bryant," is aa follows: The undersigned, member of the com? mittee appointed "to thoroughly investi? gate the disordered state of affairs in the Third Congressional District, and the canses of the intimidation, outrage? and murders perpetrated preceding and at the late general election, whereby it is stated that a fair and unbiased expres? sion of the people's choice could not, and i was not given; snd of the existence of organizations inimical to the peace and well being of the State," begs leave to HUbiuiL the following minority report. From the testimony given before tho committee, it appears that tho election campaign of 1868 was regarded, in the Third Congressional Distriot, ns ono of no ordinary interest; that it v*as prose? cuted -with unusual energy and vigor; and that porty feeling and party strife' prevailed to an extent previously un? known in that community, culminating, iu uot a few instances, in acts of violence and bloodshed. It requires no extraordinary knowledge of huniun nature to understand why the former master should be jealous of the rising political streugth of his former slaves; nor why. on tho other hand, he so recently released from tho shackles of servitude should regard with suspicion and distrust those who formerly held him in bondage. But it affords me great pleasuro to report that while tho brutal instincts of a few lawless ruffians led them to imbrne their hands in tho life blood of their fellow-beings, the great masses, tho respectable and intelli? gent citizens, kept their feelings circum? scribed within due bounds, and exercised toward their opponent? that Christian charity so characteristic of all well regu latod communities. To attempt u comment upon the testi? mony, and a reference to the varions ([nestions and answers, would be a task us endless ns it would bo useless; and to fill ont n report with extravagant sensa? tional assertions, not supported by evi? dence, would ^iivor alike of puerility and ignorance. It cannot be denied that many of tho poor, ignorant and helpless colored peo? ple have been shamefully dofrauded and ubuscd; that they have been despised for a color for which they are no more re? sponsible than for their exintence; and persecuted for a freedom for which they uro no moro culpable than for their oolor; aud it is tho opinion of the minority of this committco that hod the Legislature devoted as much attention to the con? sideration of the prosperity of these people ns it baa to the prosperity oi wealthy individuals and corporations, much of their poverty might have beeu relieved, and much of their ignorauce dispelled; or had the Executive been ns vigilant in guarding their interests us ho has been in guarding tho interests of wealthy bond-holders of the North, many of their persecutions might havo beon averted and many of their wrongs re? moved. No one can fail to be struck, upon , reading the evidence taken by tho com? mittee, with the mnny vague, incoherent and ludicrous accounts given by these poor colored people-many of whom were so ignorant as not even to know their own names-of the herculennfsize, hideous proportions and diabolical fea? tures of what they called the Ku Klux. And it affords me great pleasure to be ablo to report, that after having "tho? roughly investigated" the matter, I am of opinion that the ghosts, hobgoblins, jaok-o-the-lanterns and Ku Kluses of tho Third Congressional District, are but allotropic conditions of the witches of New England, whose larvic, having long lain dormant until imported hither in tho carpet bags of some pious political priests, germinated in the too credulous minds of their poor proselytes, and loomed into luxuriance in the fertile fields of their own imaginations. It also affords me great pleasure to bo able to report that, by a, careful exami? nation of the evidence taken by thc committee, it will be seen that tho colos? sal reports of gigantic election frauds at the various voting places in the Coun? ties of Newberry, Abbeville and Ander? son, made expressly to the idea of some eadetship-selling Congressman, are not merely exaggerated statements of dimi? nutive truths, but are ns absolutely "false as the baseless fabric of a fading vision." The majority of your committoo hav? ing "reforred your honorable body to the testimony of but a few of the many 1 who testified before -os," in order to prove their assertions, I would most re-1 spectfully call your attention to tho tes-1 timony of all the others who testified ' before us, to provo the fallacy of the statements of the majority committee and to demonstrate tho truthfulness of the propositions of tho minority of the j committee. In conclusion, allow me to call the ut i tent ion of your honorable body to the existence, in tho Third Congressional District, of a "thoroughly organized i party" called tho "Union League," \ which party has an "offspring" known as tho "Investigating Committee," the ; real object and intention of which is to ' accumulate capital for tho coming cam- ; paigu. All of which is respectfully sub? mitted. JAVAN BRYANT. The weak and emaciated mother says; "My health and strength is restored I v tho use of" SOLOMONS' BITTEV?.

A running fire was kept up in the Se? nate, yesterday, between Land Commis? sioner Leslie and a number of hie Republican confreres, which, to say thc least, seemed very much out of place ic a legislative body. Tho cause of thc trouble was u clause in tho "Appropria tion Bill," relative to-the accounts of th< Superintendent of the Penitentiary beinr. audited by thc Governor.

He was twitted about th non-appearance of his report; but with out making any direct excuse, said ther were Senntors present who would obj ec to its publication. Ho was not partier larly choice in the selection of bis word; but dealt out very harsh epithets again: his opponents.

VATION rou THE HAIB and the filth-oharged hair-davkcutra, aa between the Pool of Bethes? da, that an angel stirred, and a fever-breed? ing mud pond. The VITALIA is a crystalline fluid, without a single impurity or noxious property, and tho naturalness of the shades it imparts to grey hair is unequalled. Mit:? j ROSKOO.--The Norfolk Daily Journal, of ! December ll, 1869, says: "This medicino is rapidly gaining confi? dence of the people, and tho numerous testi? monials of ita virtues, given by practitioners of medicine, leaves no doubt that it is a safe and reliable remedy for i MI-un ITV OF THE BLOOP, LIV EB DISEASE, Ac." The la^t Medical Journal contains an arti? cle from Prof. R-S. Newton, M.
