COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, May 29,1870. Tbs Proposition of Slr. Aigner-Immi? grant?. Mr. Hans Aigner, a Prussian, who bas been for one aud-a-half years in South Carolina, proposes to fill orders for "set? tlors, laborers and mechanics," bot woe u October 1, 1870, and the 1st January, 1871. Mr. Aigner states that he has made tho necessary arrangements in Germany, France, Poland and Galicia, and that in these countries they are "well recommended farm hands," who desire next fall to immigrate to thU State, under his direction. Ho claims to have in Ga? licia; In particular, an extensivo acquaint? ance-and the assistance of influential personages.. Ho calls upon nil decirous of obtaining laborers, to send their or? ders to him at Georgetown, care of l)r. A. M. Forster. Communicate with him aud he will give his terms. Dr. A. M. Forster, a well-known citizen of George? town, and a member of tho Executive Committee of tho State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, strongly endorses tbeVolaimjt. of Mr. Aigner to the confi? dence of the public. He says that Mr. Aigner is a very intelligent Prussian, "who is in correspondence, on the subject of immigration, with sevorul persons iu Prussia-ono of them, Priuce von Blu ober-grand-son of tho old Waterloo General of that name. In fine, Dr. Forster expresses his confidence in Mr. Aigner's ability to perform all ho pro? mises. We placo tho matter before the public. - ?-???-? Well Said-Thu Traill Spoken. The Now York Ihnes, which is dis? posed to toko a rose-colored view of things, some time since argued that tho South ought to be grateful to Congress for ita manifold blessings conferred upon this section, and thus the Times seeks to magnify the policy of its party at the expenso of the South. Tho Courier Journal, a Kentucky paper, takes direct issue with the Times and exposes its falla? cious assumptions. Tho Journal holds and maintains with irresistible force that whatever of prosperity the South has enjoyed has been secured, "not becauso ot reconstruction, but in spite of it." It alludes to the ways and methods of re? construction, to the outrages, errors and wrongs that it employed, and remarks: "Yet, in spito of all this, the people have prospered. Everything that relates to tho government of the South is at the lowest. Everything the party in power could touch has dwindled. Everything that exists in the shape of a corporation, or publio fund, or an office, is away down below zero. But that which belongs to individuals, personal affairs, privato en? terprises, crops and business, which the Government hus not boen ablo to reach, flourishes. Why? Because tho people are hard-working, honest and enterpris? ing. Because, iu spito of taxes, heavily laid ou and rigorously collected, in spito of an expensive administration, in spito of official pillage, in spite of uncertainty, interference, and outside pressure, they have worked. L ito and early, they have worked. Heart-sore and uneasy of mind, they have worked. Against all tho ele? ments, physical and moral, they have worked unceasingly and hopofully, and God, not radicalism, hus blessed them and tho blessing comos in its own proper apparel and not disguised ns a carpet? bagger, a sat raj), and a ruffian. In spito of pers?cution, tho South has prospered. lu spite of proscription, thc good men of the South to-day stand where they have always stood, and where integrity and intellect have a right to stand and are always sure to stand, at the head of affairs. "Even now tho people of the South appeal to the people of tho North to rid them of foreign interforenco and to leavo them to that local self-government upon which our republican system is founded. All thc issues growing out of tho war aro settled. Questions of war debts, of se? cession, of suffrage), all are settled. We need to have dono with partisan ha? ranguing and turn ourselves to tho prac? tical business of the country. Wc need to have done with bureaus, martial law and speechifying. Wo need a cessation of loyal cant and bellicose howling of every description. But wo cannot reach this upland of peace so long as such leaders as Cameron, Butler aud Drake are permitted to niako their turbulence, falsehood and corruption tho otto for na? tional legislation and popular following. "The Now York Times affects a mode? ration which it fails to carry out. Instead of congratulating tho South on its mis? fortunes, aud flattering the policy of loaders it pretends to despise, it had bet? ter trim its lamp and look a little further, or oise tuend both its porceptiou and its counsel. As tho matter stands, it [dosses over a repulsivo picturo with ii thin coat of varnish, which serves only to bring out its disagreeable features the more palpably. Tho South is indeed pros? perous, but it owes its prosperity tn itself and to God Almighty, who always favors tho strong arm and tho steady plow-share, tho honest heart, tho sober understand? ing and tho constant purpose." Sirs. Josephine Simpson, of Toledo, n California widow, is in tho lumber busi? ness, and not only tends to her own buy? ing und selling, but owns u canal boat, goes into tho woods, buys tho trees standing, hires her choppers and log? gers, etc. She never asks for advances till her contracts aro strictly fulfilled, and then wants cash down. A Good AVltneM-Read the Ttillmonr. Tbo New York Nation, reviewing the situation in tbo Booth, holds that there is no doubt but tho interests of civiliza? tion and of good government in this quarter are suffering deeply, and "may suffer irretrievably, if the present regime be protracted much longer." The Na? tion, which, bo it understood, is a Repub can journal of wide influence, says: "Very recently, business men of tho highest character, both from this city nud from Boston, havo been examining tbe state of things there with reference to investments, both for themselves and their friends, and of course ono of tho very first things to which their attention was turned was tho government, for go? vernment means taxation, and on tbe manner and amount and application of taxation depend the rate of profits, tho prospects of immigration, and the pro? bability of internal improvements. No man will willingly invest much capital in a Stato whoso revenues be bas reason to beliove will be sqnnndcreil, or credit de? stroyed, or whose legislation cannot be depended on for a reasonable degree of uniformity and houesty. Now tho re? ports of these gentlemen-and tho two wo havo in our eye have been ardent Re? publicans and supporters of tho recon? struction policy of Oongross, and do not beliove any othor policy was possible or desirable-desoribe thiugs as hoing near? ly ns bad ns bad can bo. Tho effect on the freodman of the spectaclo of largo bodies of his fellows in a state of tho grossest ignorance pnt suddenly in pos? session of tho ' government of groat, civilized and wealthy communities is, of course, as demoralizing ns tho sudden discovery of a parcel of diamonds, and just as likely to turn his mind away from steady industry, and to destroy his faith in tho political value of kuwledge. But this is not tho worst of it. Their management of the State funds has boen such, and is such, as to endanger Ameri? can credit everywhere, to frighten away capital, and make general bankruptcy at soino not very distant day by no means improbable. Moreover, no society was ever long subjected to such a regime without suffering in its very vitals, with? out finding the stock of honor, truth, decency and patriotism, on which it has to draw every now and then to carry it through exciting times, greatly and per? haps fataliy diminished. "Tho remedy for all this is to pass an act of genoral amnesty, and leave every community to its natural action. Let whatever there is of intelligence in it re sumo its natural weight. It is as much the interest of tho negro ns of tho white man-indcod, far moro the interest of the negro than of tho white mau-that tho States should he well governed, and most of tho political talont and expe? rience is in the hands of white men who aro either disfranchised themselves, or so disgusted by tho disfranchisement of their friends, that they will take no part at present in political nffairs. No closing of tho reconstruction process will be safe or real which does not give them their natural influence on tho Government; artificial influence they have lost forever; but of tho other it is an offence against civilization to deprivo them." ILUXOIS-MINORITY REPR?SENTATION OTHER FEATURES.-Tho new Constitution of Illinois is to bo submitted to the vote of tho people on the 2d July next. The principle of minority representation is ono of tho provisions of this new Con? stitution. Honor to Illinois for her j movement in this direcliou! lu some I comments upon tho new Constitution I proposed, tho New York World says: Tho new Constitution of Illinois, which is to bo submitted to tho popular voto on tho 2d of July next, contains some wholesome provisions, but is in nothing moro excellent than in its strin? gent limitations of legislative power. So fur from countenancing the modern heresy that legislation should be on tho parliamentary order-that is to say, vir? tually limitless-it hedges in tho law? making body with restrictions of unusual severity, and reiterates in the most un? mistakable manner tho old nnd correct doctrino of strict construction and lim? ited powers. Special legislation-that fruitful source of corruption and main? stay of tho lobby-is almost entirely in? hibited by a requirement that where a general law eau bo made applicable, no special law shall be enacted; a vote of two-thirds of all elected to each House, instead of a haro majority as now, is re? quired to override a veto; and each ruotn ber is required, as a condition precedeut to his scat, to tako a stringent oath, be foro ono of tho higher judges, in tho hall of the Houso to which ho is elected, that he has not bribed any vote at his elec? tion, nnd neither has received uor will receive any money or other valuable thing for any vote or other official act. Thu authority of tho Legislature to add to tho Stato debt, savo for war purposes, is limited to ?250,000; norean that body I lix its own pay or allowances; nor is thc i credit of tho Stato to bo by it loaned 01 extended in any way whatsoever to any corporation or individual; nor shall it exceed tbo appropriation estimates which it is made thu duty of tho Governor tc send in, unless by a vote of two-thirds ol ( all tho members elected to each House. ' To tho Governor is given the power tc remove for incompetency or malfeasance tho officers appointed by him and con? I firmed by the Senate, without let or bin drnuco from the Legislature; and nc money shall bo appropriated by any pri? vate law. Those main provisions-foi there aro othor restrictive enactments mako wild work with the parliamentary theory of legislation, and can hardly fail to render tho General Assembly of Uli nols a model law-making body.

Tin: LONDON HORROR-SEVEN PERSON.' MURDERED.-A cable dispatch from Lon don, dated May 2-1, gives later particu lars of the horriblo tragedy near thal city. From these facts it appears thu tho house of au engineer, in tho town o Uxbridge, parish of Hillingdon, abou seventeen miles North-west of Loudon 1 was entered on Mondny night by a mau who had long been laboring under foci iugs of revengo ngainst tho head of th< family. After n brief altercation the as sassin struck tho mother of tho engiuce: a deadly blow, which caused instan death. Tho son, who had rushed to liei rescue, was similarly despatched, and tin fiend, seemingly insatiatcd with tin thirst for human blood, followed bi: murderous attacks upon tho wife, sister and three children of his victim. lui short space of time he had murdered th* entire family of seven persons. The as sassin managed to escape, und is still a I large, although thc polico authentic! throughout thu country are making even effort to capturo him. Columbus, Kentucky, was the seem of a most disastrous conflagration oi Saturday last. A fire broke out in tin kitchen of an old hotel building, which owing to a wind prevailing aud to th< wooden buildings principally composing tho town, rapidly spread, and before i could bo checked, consumed foity-om buildings, causing au estimated loss o fully 8(10,000, with but little insurance. It is a little singular that every Cubai general officer of note is just now in Nov York. Doubtless there is less dango and privation in that city than on tin island. Proceedings of Council. SPECIAL MEETING. CoUNCm C IIA MB sn, COLUMBIA, Moy 27,1870. Present-His Honor the Mayor; Alder? men Denny, Cooper, Goodwin, Hayne, Minort, Moonoy, Simons, Smith, Taylor, Thompson, Wallace and Wigg. Tho Mayor stated that ho had con? vened the Council for tho purposo of presenting tho following communication: COLUMBIA, May 2G, 1870. - Hon. John Alexander, Mayor-DEAR Sin: At a meeting of tho Board of Trade, last evening, it was Resolved, That tho Chairman of the meeting request the Mayor and City Couucil to suspend tho enforcement of tho ordinanco published to-day, in ro? gart! to cotton weighers, and to appoint u committoo of tho Couucil to confer with a committee of tho Board of Trade on tho subject. . This being, in our opiuiou, a matter of great importance to tho business in? terests of Columbia, you will please take prompt action, and advise mo of the re? sult; also at what timo it will bo con? venient for your committee to meet ours. Yours respect fol ly, EDWIN J. SCOTT. Chairman. OM motion of Alderman Thompson, a j^?iittee of three from theCoiuicil was ^^Hinted to meet a similar committee fruW the Board of Trade, oil Monday, at 10 o'clock a. m., in the Council Cham? ber. The Mayor appointed Aldermen Thompson, Wallace and Taylor on the above committee. It was also moved and curried, that the further consideration of that part of the communication of Mr. Scott, which asks that tho ordinanco regnlutjug the weighing of cottou bo suspended, be postponed until the next regular meet? ing of tho Couucil. The following communication, from J. D. Tradewell, Esq., City Attorney, was read aud received us information : Hon. John Alexander, Mayor-DEAI: SIB: By tho 18th section of tho city charter, found in 12 vol. Statutes at Largo, pago 333, tho Mayor nnd Alder? men of tho city of Columbia arc autho? rized to establish and keep up public scales, or scalo houses, with proper weights and scales for weighing cotton or other articles sold by weight in the city. By tho 19th section, tue Mayor and Aldermen are authorized to appoint ono or moro public weighers, whose duties may be prescribed by that body, to which tho public weigher or weighers are accountable, and so forth. Authority is also given by that Act (section 19) to assess as high as six cents on each bale of cotton weighed, nnd a proportional sum ou other articles, to bo paid by tho seller, .fcc. B3* the 20th section of samo Act, (city charter,) tho scales and weights thus established are to be the standard to which nil others in tho city shall con? form, a departure from which subjects tho person departing therefrom to lino and imprisonment, iu the discretion of thc Court, on conviction in tbo Court of Sessions for Richland. It is apparent to my mind, after looking at these sections of the city charter, (Act of 1851,) that to tho Mayor and Aldermen of tho city of Columbia is confided the fullest control of tho matter of weighing cotton or any other articles sold by weight within tho limits of tho city; and that, therefore, tho ordinanco on that subject of 19th January, 181)1), is legal, and may be enforced against all violators of it in the summary manner therein de? signated. I nm, respectfully yours, JAMES D. TRADEWELL, City Atorncy. The City Clerk presented his resigna? tion, to take cileet on tho 31st instant, which was. on motion, accepted, aud an election ordered to bo held on Tuesday, tho 31st instant, at a special mcetiug, to Oil tho vacancy. Alderman Thompson offered the fol? lowing resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of this Board bo tendered to Capt. J. S. McMa? hon, City Clerk of tho city of Columbia, for tho able and efliccnt manner in which lie bas discharged tho duties of his office. Alderman Wigg gavo notice that, at thu next regular meeting of Council, ho would introduco au ordinance to repeal tho 1st, 2d and 3d sections of nu ordi? nance entitled "Au ordinanco concern? ing goats and swine." On motion, ?""ctincil adjourned. J. S. McMAHON, City Clerk. A NEWSPAPER ON WHEELS.-A party of New Englanders left Boston a few days ago on an excursion to San Fran? cisco. On board tho special train on which they travel a newspaper is pub? lished by au Illinois editor. In ono of tho cars is fitted up a printing press, types, ifcc, where threo printers, assist? ing tho editor, will print aud publish the paper while hurrying Westward, at tho rate of thirty miles an hour. Arrange? ments havo boen made to receivo tho despatches of importance by tolegrnph at differout stations, which will bo handed over to tho editor, nnd in due timo presented to tho passengers aud others along tho route. Thus tho busi? ness mau eau sit in his car ami read all that is transpiring up to tho very hour almost.

Poolo and Jesso Joyner, were scalded so severely that tboy died the samo day. Tho mill was but slightly damaged. ? FLOOD COMINO.-The Mobile .Regis? ter paints this glowing picture: "We aro at tbe beginning of a flood-tide of a vast white immigration from Enrope. The grain business is overdone in the Went and in California. There are no further temptations to money-making in theso regions, and to-day tho South otters the most tempting field for new settlers of laborers und artisans and capitalists in the known world. Tho wholo civilized world is waking up to a consciousness of this fact, and thoso of us who live fivo years longer will be amazed at the results of causes now in active operation." As a measure of economy, wo suggest that no moro rifled ordnance be manu? factured by tho Government. Smooth? bore pieces can ho mado much cheaper, and then they cnn bo left over night within easy distance of a radical office? holder. If they aro not "rifled" bofore morning, it will ho because that office? holder hos gonn back on tho principles of his party.-Brick Pomeroy. A London despatch of tho 24th, says. Tho announcement of tho passage of the Irish laud bill in the House of Commons Inst night, was received with tumultuous cheering from most of tho benches and all parts of the Honso.

THE TOUT ROYAL RAILUOAD.-Eleven hundred hands arc employed at work on tho Port Roynl Railroad. Tho work is progressing simultaneously at both ends, aud tho rad is being laid at the rate of half a milo a day. So says tho Barnwell Journal. A Berlin despatch states that King William, in closing tho Reichstag, said: "Its notion would go far to as.suro fo? reign people that the Cou federation is a powerful agont for tho preservation of universal peace.'' The remainder of the band of Grecian brigands, uuder thc command of Arvaui likis, who were hunted dowu, surround? ed and captured after the butchery of their European captives, have been tried nt Athens and sentenced to death.
