-Tuesday -Morning, July 12,1970, jfcloatlllfy <o Imna?gratlon-A. Ft??tnn of Raa leal Folloy, S toto uud National. Ia oar own State, we baye charged tbe present administration and the present dominant party with covert hostility to immigration. Wo believe this charge to be woll-founded. Jost so long os the present ?tato of things continues-just BO long as party tactics and personal self-seeking usurp the place of a disinte? rested regard for. the. public , good-just so long as the brazen presumption of the carpet-bag element shall seek, in con? junction wiftr the credulity of the colored man, to control onr policy, just so long will no official efforts be pnt forth to .quicken in this State the good work of introducing within our bordors the healthy accession of capital and settlers, either from the North or Europe. Nor is this spirit Of hostility to immigration -confined to -South Carolina, lt seems td bo a feature in the National Republi? can party. Reaently, Senator Brake, ap extreme radical, declared in tho United States S$nato that the next civil war in thia country would probably arise from tho influence exerted by tho foreign ele? ment in our midst. If this is the senti? ment Of the radical party, it is well for tho issue, to be met and. to be met promptly. Upon this question, .we.shall be found in -active sympathy - with the National Democraoy-tho great Baving party of tho country-the friend of the immigrant--the friend of the ..working? man-the champion .of popular lights the staunch upholder of constitutional freedom-the great advocate of Jacal self-government and of decentralization. As for this kuow-nathing spirit, which seeks to close tho gates of this oountry to the immigrant from Europe, and ? whiclt would prosoribe white men be? cause ol the placo of their birth, we apposed it once and we shall oppose it again. Tho National Democraoy struck it down once, and if it rears its head, it will again rsceivo its quietus. As for us in the South, it is a matter of life to ?n? eo ur ago immigration, and no politioal party should receive any sanction that does in any way throw obstacles in the way of this great work. It is immigra? tion that has made the North and the North-west. It has made the wealth and strength of the North. Had it not been for free and fall immigration from Europe-had it not been for the Ger? man, the Irish, the Swede and other nationalities-the North would have fallen far short of its present strength. Prussia v?. France-Bismarck -ri. Napo? leon. As our readers have perceived from the telegrams published in our columns, Franoe and Prussia stand in hostile atti? tude. Gen. Prim offers the crown of Spain to Prince Leopold, of Hohenzol? lern-a member of the royal family of Prussia. He accepts it. France prompt? ly dissents; at once half-draws her sword, and Napoleon, speaking through his Foreign Minister, the Dake do Grani mont, says decisively that Franco would never allow this arrangement to be car? ried out. Thus, Napoleon steps out boldly and crosses sword with Bismarck. How stand the parties now? "Wo think the advantages are with Napoleon. Prus? sia, doubtless, remembers the glory of SADOWA, when she humbled tho pride of Austria, and took her place among the first-class powers of Europe, throwing even France in the shade. But she has less confidence in herself and Bismarck than she had four years ago, and time has mellowed tho splendor of her mili? tary achievements. On the other hand, France stands strong anti compact, and the Emperor, strengthened by his libe? ralism, plants himself upon his majority of nearly 7,000,000 of votes on the re? cent plebiscite, and relying upon his grand army, boldly challenges the issue with his rival beyond the Rhine. Wo aro inclined to think with the New York World, that Napoleon has turuod the tables upon Prussia. Whether peace or war shall be the result in this "unplea? santness," Napoleon holds the winning cards. Even if Prussia declines tho issue of war, a diplomatic defeat, damag? ing to her prestige, certainly awaits her. Wo shall watch tho result with interest. To us, it seems apparent thut tho star of Napoleon is in the ascendant. He is cool, quick, sagacious, prompt. Tho situation has not yet como of which ho is not the master. Prim and Bismarck have been confronted by tho ruler of Franco. Fight they must or back down. This is tho stato of tho case. Says Na? poleon, in languago that suggests tho ring of battlo: "France will never per? mit a German Prince to take his seat upon tho throne of Charles the Fifth." And tho imperialist organ, tho Pays, uses warlike words. It talks of avenging Waterloo, and soys: "Frenchmen are ready to tako tho same road to Jena and Berlin which, their father? took, " Pend? ing thia-^fflattor,-it is stated that commor oial ocoles feel tho gravity of the situa? tion, and tho Poris Bpurso opened Hat on theJfrt?instit,, ^ ?' CONDrTTONs"'PROMOTIVE OF REFORM EFFORTS.-The New York World well says: "It ia ooo of tho best of the many excellent features of our complex Federal systom, which leaves such largo powers of independent aotion to tho States, that weean try proposed reforms oL| i small scale and tost their value, before making them general. If we had tho uniform, consolidated National Government which tho Bepublican party is seeking to intro? duce, new experiments could not bo tried without tho hazard of universal disaster. But under our system of sepa? rate Stato action, any ono State which happens to bo wiser, or boldor, or moro mobile, or even moro rash and daring than the others, oan imitate and test re? forms by which all may profit if they succeed, and by which only tho State that makes the experiments can suffer if they provo unfortunate. What is at first a mere plausible theory can bo tried in practice ou a small soalo, and all the other States can watch its operation and profit by tho warning if it fails; by the example if it succeeds. Our system of independent States not only enables us to introduce reforms with loss .hazard, but it hastens their general adoption. Suc? cessful experience is worth all the theo? retical reasoning in tho .world; and when the value of a reform has been es? tablished by trial, there is no further difficulty in making proselytes. Nobody can computo tho time that would bo re? quired to . bring tho whole oouutry to venture upon minority representation; but if the Illinois experiment works well, it will.grow in public favor far moro rapidly than it could by more argument and discussion. Oar system of sepa? rate, independent States gives us tho ad? vantage of trying every new pieco of political machinery in a small working model before risking a great outlay of capital in what may, after all, turn out to bo only a plausible crotchet." The New York World, of July S, says: The air in Europo is full of war ru? mors. There is great agitation and aotivity in the French Foreign Office. Among the many reports Hying about Parisand Madrid, aro these: Alliances have been concluded between France and Austria on the one hand, and Spain ond Pms lia on the other. Tho French fleet at Brest is under immediate orders to sail for tho Mediterranean. Prussia has applied to tho Court of St. Petersburg for advice. The report that Prim has abandoned the Prince of Hohenzollern, is denied by competent authority. He will wait for tho action of tho Cortes, though ho has telegraphed to Madrid that Franco means war. An important state? ment is that the French Minister of Foreign Affairs has received a noto from Berlin, the substance of which is that Prussia will give its acceptance of the Spanish offer only after the Cortes has definitely made it, and then it will stick to its position. This is cautious, digni? fied, and plucky. Three-fourths of tho members of tho Cortes are believed to be favorable to the Prussian Prince. The Council of Ministers at Madrid have unanimously approved of the course of General Prim. The Berlin press is silent, the Madrid press divided, and the Paris press belligerent. La Liberte clamors for war, and calls on the Govern? ment to get possession of the Rhenish provinces, whatever may be tho cost. In spite of all theso disquieting reports, rentes woro firmer yesterday. It looks as if tho financiers had no present ap? prehension of war. One of the most tyrannical of many outrageous usurpations of abitrury power which Congress has been guilty of lately, is their action in the caso of Patrick Woods. We venture to assert that tho next time Dooley's Pat goes on tho war path against scallnwags, he will bo care? ful to find out first whether tho scound? rel he desires to thrash is a Congressman or not. It is very important to know these little things now, in view of tho late action taken by the House of Rep? resentatives, though how people living in the Southern States are to attain such desirable knowledge is, we confess, more than wo know. Wood's counsel asked to bo hoard in defense of their client be? fore the bar of tho House on last Satur? day, but were refused. A couplo of Spanish naval officers re? cently had a duel. They fought twenty paces apart, to advance to a central line and firo ot will. Ono walked forward, and when near the lino tho other fired and hit him. Tho wounded man stag gored to the lino and said, "I am dead. Como thou up and bo killed." The other came up until ho touched tho muzzlo of his adversary's pistol, and in a moment both were dead. "Thoy died like gen? tlemen," adds tho narrator of the inci? dent. On the Illinois railroads thero is a wo? man who makes hor living by getting sick on tho enrs, stopping ovor nt various points, and enlisting tho sympathies of tho residents. She tells a vory pitiful story, saying that her homo is in somo other town, and that she waa on her way homo from visiting a sister; that she was taken suddenly ill and was short of f linds. She usually succeeds in raising a fow dollars this way at each station. Tho fashionable pastimo of murder in this oity has just ouoountercd a terrible drawback. Last night a would-bo assas? sin put five pistol balls into the body of ono "Piper" Burns, but the pesky villain absolutely refused to "peg lout.

Wfct Bfcinfoto his h?i^?a ftt v' Your kind letter Bhould have been an? swered long ero this, bat really I have | been so harassed with examination and the insults and ill-treatment of these ca? dets that I could not write or do any? thing else,; scarcely. I passed examina? tion all right and got in, but my com? panion, Howard, failed and was rejected. Since he went a wa;, x havo been lonely indeed, and now these fellows appear to be trying their utmost to ruu mo off, and I fear they will succeed if they coutiuue as they have begun. Wo went into camp yesterday, and not a moment has passed since then but some one of them has been cursing and abusing me. All night thoy were around my tent, cursing nud swearing at me so that I did not sleep two hours all night. It is just the same at the table, aud what I get to eat I must snatch for like n dog. I don't wish to resign if I can goL ulong at all; but I don't think it will be tho best for mo to stay and take all the abuses and insults that aro heaped upon mo. The examiuation was very hard this year-harder than evor before and since I have been successful in get? ting in I will stay as long as I possibly can. One of the cadets refused to drill his squad because I was in it, and they reduced him from a corporal to a private for disobedience of orders, and they are all mad about that. The ono who drills the squad now is tho meanest specimen of humanity I ever saw. After march? ing us out to the drill-ground this morn? ing he said to me, "Standoff ono side from the line, you d-d black son of a b-h. You are too near that white man. .I want you to remember you are not on an equal footing with tho whito men in your class, and what you learn hore you will have to pick up, for I won't teach you ad- d tiling." And thus ho kept me standing until tho captain came around inspecting, when ho pretouded that ho put me there to teach mo a move which I had never practiced bo fore. And I could say nothing at all, or I would have boen locked up for disobe? dience of orders or disrespect to "supe? rior o Ulcers," If it every happens again I shall deny it to his face and then re? sign. If I complain of their conduct to tho commandant, I must prove the charges, or nothiug eau bo done; aud whero am I to find one from so many to testify iu my behalf? If this afternoon's drill is con? ducted as this morning's was, you need not bc astonished at hearing that I have resigned. I have borne insult upon in? sult until I am completely worn out. I have written a plenty of bad news, and I wish I had some good news for you, but alas! it seems to be getting worse and worse. I forgot to tell, you that out of ninety-ono appointees, flvo failed physi? cally, forty-seven failed mentally, leav? ing thirty-uiue admitted. They had pre? pared it to lix tho colored candidates, but it proved most disastrous to tho whites. J. W. SMITH. REMOVAL OF POLITICAL DISABILITIES. Mr. Robertson, in the Senate, on the 6th inst., gave the following notice : Tho Senator from Maine hos kindly consented to yield a moment to allow me to give notice to the Senate, that to? night, after the army bill is passed, I Shall call up Senate bill No. 969, for the removal of political disabilities. This "bill" contains the names of some four thousand penitent men, asking tho forgiveness of their political sius. Christ, in his sermon on the mount, says: "Ask, and it shall bo given you; seek, and yo shall lind ; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." Now, sir, these political sinners have asked, sought and knocked, through the mediation of the committee of which I have the honor of being tho chairman, and in the name of that committeo I ask that the door bo opened unto them, and they be restored to all tho rights and privileges of citizens. Two YOUNO LADLES KILLED BY LIGHT? NING.-'From a private letter to a gentle? man in this city, we learn that yesterday week, whilo Miss Murray, daughter of Joseph W. Murray, and Miss Hill, daughter of Daniel Hill, both of St. John's Berkeley, were returning from church with Mr. Murray, they took shelter under a tree to avoid a wetting from a shower. Whilo there, the light? ning struck tho tree and instantly killed the two young ladies. Mr. Murray, who was standing near by, was uninjured. [Charleston J\Teics.

In Now Orleans, on tho 17th ultimo, a shooting nffair took placo between two respectable young men, named E. J. Byrd and P. V. Ducros, in which the former was fatally wounded in thc left breast. Tho encounter occurred on Commercial alley, near the St. Charles Hotel, aud was the result of a feud bo tween the parties, who aro brothers-in law. Ducros is Secretary of the Kuick erbockcr Insurance Compauy. He surrendered himself to tho police. The New Orleans Times says of tho Byrd family: Orriu Byrd, father of the young man, after several bloody affairs, was killed in the year 185-, by Matt. Edwards, a young lawyer, who was pursued across the street by Byrd, with a knife. His dead body was laid out in the broker's shop of Horace BeaD, corner of Common and Camp streots. He was a very hand? some and elegant gentleman, perfectly fearless, but always fought to the death. His appearance was elegant to efieniina cy, and whon laid ont in the broker's shop, was dressed in the extreme of the fashion. After this, his brother, Dr. Byrd, of Baton Rouge, killed a young Dr. Skillmau, who attacked him iu re? venge for a wrong done to a member of his family. Stillman fired several times, and Byrd closed with him and stabbed him to death. Ho escaped from Baton Rouge, settled somewhere in Alabama, and being assailed by a man with a cane, ran him through tho body with a* sword drawn from his cate; was tried, convict? ed and sentenced to a long imprisonment, and took prussic acid and died. Theodore Byrd, tho youngest of tho family, was killed in the Verandah bar? room by a young mau who charged him with seducing his wife. Ho was stabbed to the heart. Tho Byrds were from Hamburg, South Carolina-parents very respectable-they were all well educated meu, of very pleas? ing address, Ac. Orriu Byrd, tho father I of tho young man shot, a few days after his marriage fought a duel with Richard Hagan, on tho track of the Mexican Gulf Railroad. Both parties were wouuded, Hagan so seriously, that ho lost a portion of his foot, aud ever afterward had to go on crutches. The dogma of infallibility, it is an? nounced, will bo proclaimed in Romo on tho 17th instaut, with great pomp and ceremony.

LAURESSVILLE FEMALE COLLEGE-AD? DRESS OF COL. A. C. HASKELL.-Tho Laurensville Herald gives au account of the commencement exercises of this Col? lege, presided ovor by Major J. A. Le? land. Col. Haskell's address bcforo the Alumna), is thus alluded to: No speaker ever faced au audience to meet a warmer, heartier and more enthu? siastic welcome thau this distinguished Carolina soldier and Christian gentleman. His introduction was greeted with rap? turous applause. Ho discussed, in a speech of an hour's length, his subject, which was substantially the influence of education on tho progress of nations and, as bearing on this subject, the effect of woman's intellectual and moral de? velopment. Tho speaker drew from his? tory and the classics, illustrations of the noble influence of woman upon the civi? lization of tho past; her power over the spirit of the armies of the South in her recent struggle agaiust mankind, under tho banners of tho Northern States; urg? ing the matron of the South as the very highest tj-pe of womau, and deploring any modification of her attributes by the strong-minded and radical agitators of New England aud Great Britain. The speaker's style and manner are formed more after the Athenian than Oriental models-with moro regard to force and logical connectiou than the beauties ol speech and rhetorical finish. He was frequently interrupted with applause, and listened to throughout with profound attention. We trust to see this able ef? fort giveu to the public iu form to per? petuate it, and hop^e tho talented speakoi will place it at the disposal of the Trus? tees.
