COLUMBIA:. S. C. Sunday ttorninc, December ll, 157?. REMOVAL OF POLITICAL DISABILITIES. -The New York Times, in an article upon thia subject, makes tho following wholesome admissions, which will do very well for a Republican paper: ?"Considering what hos happened in Missouri, we trust the question of a general amnesty will receive an early discussion from OongroBs. The result of* the election there bas shown one thing olearly-that there is, or is likely to be, enongh division of sentiment among Republicans in all tho Southam States ou this subject to make the con? tinuance of the existing disabilities, im? posed on persons guilty of having taken, part in the rebellion, a probable, if not not nul, source of dissension and weakness in tho party ; and this division is likely ta grow wider and deeper aa . time wears on, and tho liassions excited by tho war subside. Moreover, there is a very general and very well founded feeling at the South, that these disabilities are injurions to the business interests of the Southern community. Apart from its influence on State politics, it is not possible to divide a oommunity into two classes, one of them under a cloud, and governed hythe other, without creating or protracting moro or less bitterness of feeling; and from bitterness of feeling business always softers, evou if it does not show itself in opon violence. It is, however, of the utmost importance, both to blacks and whites, that business should prospor, and the tide of immi? gration be attracted South of Mason & Dixon's- line, and it will not be so attracted BO long as existing political questions, deeply affecting men's feel? ings as well as their interests, remain unsettled in that region. Ute character of the men who have risen lo the surface in Southern politics ever since the war, and pirlicularly of thal portion of them which has been contributed by the war, has done the South serious damage, moral as well as material, and it will not be mended greatly -though we think the odored voters I are rapidly beginning to understand the Whittomores-tuttil the whole community of each Slate is aduiitled lo the management of ita affairs, and thal this may be done, without damags noa, we have no doubt. lu the last five years the negroes have learned to take cara of themselves pretty well, both at the polls and otherwise, and in thia field of aotivity they are certainly more likely to improve than to go-back, > "'Then, it must, bo .remembered that the ex-rebels, be they bod or good, use? ful or mischievous, are not going to leave tho country. : They are here among us, an element, and a large, important and influential element, in tho population. It is one of the principles, and soundest principles of our Government, that all elements of the population, bad or good, ought to be represented, and that the safety of the State requires that each should have a recognized outlet for its feelings and opinions, whatever those may be." The Northern press, of both political parties, come out decidedly in favor of universal amnesty, and declare that such is the sentiment of the Northern people. If it is, why have they not taken steps to give a practical effect to these wishes? Why are not meetings held und tho Rep? resentatives and Senators of tho North called on to mako this tribute to peace? Thousands upon thousands of their fel Jow-citizens in tho South, and the best men we have, aro to-day disfranchised under a Government that claims to bo Republican and free for all, and is there nothing in this humiliating spectacle to call forth an emphatic expression of pub? lic opinion at the North? THE PRESENTMENT OF THE GUANO JURY. -The presentment of the Grand Jury, to which wo have already referred, will bo found in anotheroolumn. Comment? ing upou the abstract given by us on Friday last, tho Charleston Courier says: <,We cordially approve of the remarks of Judge Bryan. The people of this State, whatever may be their position, irrespective of caste, color or social po? sition, are all bound together by tho ?common tie of self-interest. It is to tho advantage of every man, woman and child in our little commonwealth, that the State should bo prosperous, and prosperity can only bo produced by wise Jaws properly administered, and by the harmony of our citizens. Our first ne? cessity is peaoe; not only that sort of peace which is to bo found in theabseuce of bloodshed, but that higher poaco which is based on mutual good will. To the presentment of tho Grand Jury ?we also yield our heartiest assent, and more particularly to that portion which protests against the ?BO of military power for tho purpose of controlling elections. Wo havo long regretted the growing ten? dency of this couotry towards despot? ism." THE RUSSIAN NAVY.- English journals are exhibiting grout alarm in consequence of a report that tho Russians havo fifty iron-clad monitors, drawing under eight? een feet water, at Nikolaieff. This town is situated on the River Dnieper, which flows into the Black Sea through a basin called Dnieper Liman. It is stated that for some years back every difficulty has boon thrown in the way of foreigners desiring to visit Nikolaieff, and Russia has refused permission to have English naval officers attached to the British Em? bassy at St. Petersburg. It ia reported that the forts at the eutrauoo of tho Sen of Azof have been mado impregnable. Presentment ot th? Ornad Jory, Ut the Clrcntt^Court of the United States, De? cember 8.1870. To the Bohbrable'ijfeorge A, Bryan,. District Judge **f the ?nited&?t?s Couti for the District of Sot'Jh Carolina: In the exercise of the. privilege of the Grand Jory to make presentment to the Oourt of such matters aa appear to be public evils in themselves, or to ?"?quire judicious legislation and amendment, they would respectfully present: 1. -The present election law of the State of South Carolina. These laws are brought to the attention of this Oourt, because under them elections are held for members of Congress, and to that extent, at least, are laws of the United States. Tho attention of the Grand Jury has been called specially to these oloo I lion laws by numerous oases whioh have {teen brought before them at the present erm, for illegal voting, riots and con? spiracy to intimidate, and other charges I of offences committed for the purpose of defeating the ballot. The Grand Jury aro constrained to be? lieve that tho election laws have more to do with those disturbances and these charges than any evil intent on the part of the citizens, whether white or'black. They aro unfair, unequal, and tend to breed discord and strife, and should at once be amended.. It is no new thing for disturbances of the peace to occur at elections; but laws may bo so framed ns to irritate the citizen in tho peaceful ex? ercise of his right of suffrage. The pre? sent laws, instead of hedging around tbe ballot-box, leave the door wide open to fraud, and in a warmly-contested elec? tion, a disturbance of the public peuce seems to be invited rather than pre? vented by the laws themselves. 2. -Another fruitful source of mischief is tho employment of military to super? intend civil elections. The evils of this system, (for it is fast becoming a system throughout the whole country, North and South,) must at once be suggested to any reasonable thiuking mind. It is unconstitutional; it is unwise; it is tho parent of mischief. The small military force usually em? ployed for tho purpose would be utterly insufficient and useless, if thc people were disposed to opposo and resist it. The military force employed in South Carolina daring the recent elections could havo been easily overwhelmed in an hour. What good, then, is accom? plished? They seem only to excite a spirit of resistance and bad blood. Hu? man natnre is tho same all over tho world, and for the military to take the place of tho civil arm of the Govern? ment, is not only dangerous to the pub? lic peace, but hazardous to politioal li? berty* We have been taught these 1 ca? tions from tho history of tho country whence we derive the principles of our Constitution and most of our laws. The views here presented, the Grand Jury aro happy to seo, are endorsed by the highest military officers of the United States, General Shormnn and General Halleck. The latter reports aa followe: "Where United States Marshals and assistant marshals call for military aid to executo the process of thc Courts, there shoal.1 be an order of Court au? thorizing such requisitions, on the ground that no proper civil posse corni talus could bo obtained. It may bo proper to remark in this place, that I have been assured by Federal civil offi? cers that thc use of troops in executing judicial process and enforcing the rovo uiio and other civil laws seems to i? creas; rather than diminish, the appa? rent necessity of resorting to such force in civil matters. Tho ill-disposed be? come moro nnd more exasperated ut being coerced by a force which they think has been unconstitutionally em? ployed against them, aud the bettor disposed relax their efforts to punish local crimes, on the plea that this duty now devolves on the military. Hence, in tho case of a robbery or a murder, there is a call for Federal troops to arrest and guard tho criminals. It is, there? fore, u question well worthy of conside? ration, whether the military in civil matters should not be limited to a few well-delincd coses, such us riots and insurrections, which canuot be suppress? ed by local aud State authorities." There is another evil of great magni? tude, to whioh attention should be culled. Reference is hud to what is known aa tho coustabnlary force of this State. This esteblishnieut has all the objections urged against tho military, with many additional ones. They havo control of, and they distributo tho arms belonging to tho State, and aro themselves au armed force. They actually engage in electioneering, aud in tho night time they harangue ignorant crowds at secret meetings. They nre strangers to om people, and instead of beiug the pre. servers of peace are tho instigators of nu lawful and violout acts in many cuses, There is no need of such a force in Sou tl: Caroliun, and it should at once bo dis bunded. I The attention of the Grand Jury lm> been called to thc lato riots which havi occurred in Laurens County. Thofib unlawful acts are much to bo rc grt ttud, und nil good citizens should dis countenance such disorderly conduct Thc chief causes of these disturbance! seem to be traced to tho political excite meut attendant upon the late genera election, especially aggravated by tin violent conduct and the malicious ant threatening harangues of a few -ovil-dis posed persons of that County. Sud unwiso, intemperate and criminal speech es to tho more ignorant class of tho com tnunity merit not only disapprobation but deservo to be punished, if the arm o the law can reach the guilty parties Somo have been heard to tell coloret people in public speeches that they mus use their tire-arms, and if these failed thou that a box of matches cost only fivi cents/a nd that these could bo used t< barn and destroy. Thou iq open day.cir oonraging incendiarism. _Th? tfnlaAtflu? and mischievous ' ?cia ana rangnago of ?aoh wicked men aro presen teador tot; consideration of thoBe Whose rtutyifc ia to ?nforeo tba law.

There is nothing to complain of on this head, ns the of? ficers seem to discharge their duty, and the prisoners to bo provided for pro? perly and humanely. Respectfully sub? mitted, S. MONTGOMERY, Foreman. . ? In tho conflicting news from tho sent of war in France, it is pleasant to re? ceive reliable intelligence from persons high in authority. All classes of readers should, therefore, bo instrncted and de? lighted by tho intelligence from no loss a person than M. Leon Gamhottu himself, that "tho forward, movement of tho army of tho Loiro had ceased on account of resistance." Had tho warriors of the Loire met with no opposition, thoy would havo kept ou their march to tho gates of Paris, raised thc siege, and then marched on Metz uud rc-uccupicd that stronghold. I3ut tho *'resist nuce" which they encountered prevented tho consum? mation of these great deeds. It is, of course, wrong of thu Geruiuus thus to resist an army bout on doing grout deeds, und M. Gambetta will, doubtless, issue a proclamation on tho subject. WHY WOMAN WEDS. -Homo close ob? server of our social relations, having looked about among his married female acquaintances, ventures tu givo tho fol? lowing list, with au attempt to indicate tho real reasons which influence too many to murry: Number one has married for a ' home. She got tired of working in u factory, or touching school-ahn thought married lifo on earth was but moonlight walks, buggy rides, new bonnets, and nothing to do. Well, she has got her home; whether or uot she is tired of the incum brances, this deponent saith not, inas? much ns this deponent does not positive? ly know. Number two married because she had sevon young sisters and a papa with a narrow inaome. She consulted the interest of her family. Perhaps she would better hove consulted her own in? terests by taking in light washing or going out by the day to work. Number three married because Mrs. Hounded so much belter than Miss. Sha was twenty-nine years nudeleven mouths old, und another month would have transfsrmed her into a regular old maid. Thiuk how awful that would have been. Number four married because she wanted somebody to psy her bills. Her husband married for precisely the samo reason; so they aro both repenting at leisure. Number five married because Fanny White had u nioo now husband, and she wasn't going to be left behind. Pity if sho couldn't get married us well ns other folks. Number six married because she was poor and wanted riches! Sho never counted on all tho other things that wero inseparable from those coveted riehes. Number seven married bec .so she thought she should like to travel. But Mr. Number Seven changed his mind afterwards, and nil tho traveling sho has dono has been between the well and the back kitchen door. Number eight married out of spito be? cause her first love had taken to himself a second lovel This pieco of retaliation might have dono her good at tho time, but in tho long rim number eight found it did not pay. Number niuo married because she had rend novels and "wanted sympathy." Sympathy ia a fino thing, but it cools down at a rapid rato if tho domestic kettlo is not kept boiling, and tho do? mestic turkey is undone. Novels and house-keeping don't run very well to? gether in harness, to uso a sporting phrase, and number nine's supply of sympathy didn't hold out very loug. Number ten mnrried because she loved her husband with s ll her heart und nil her soul. And sho loves him still, and will probably continuo to lovo him, and is tho happiest wife iu tho world-so she says. We have all tho right motivo nt last ono which, when sanctified by a desire and resolution to improve und elovate each other, and to live trna and holy lives before God, cannot fail to call down the blessings of heaven. But sad is tho falo o? those who marry from wrong motivos-to escape their share of lifo's work, or to get something for which they hnvc nothing to give in return. TUE FRANKING PRIVILEGE.-Tho post? al re-organization bill, considered in tho Houso of Representatives, provides for tho abolition of tho franking privilege, uud tho substitution of special stamps for each of the departments for trans? mitting official matter free. All such matter thus stamped is to be charged by tho Post Oflieo Department to the de? partment issuing tho samo, and such nhargo is to bo defrayed by the appro? priations made by Congress for incident? al expenses. An amount is to bo allow? ed eaoh Senator and member to pay for stamps. It is maintained that such le? gislation as this will avoid all the abusos of the franking privilege, especially the frauds practiced under it. A New York correspondent writes that "mention is made of an alliance near at band between a four-story stone house, with carriage and servants, anda fortuno on top of it of $260,000 on tho one hand, encumbered by 200 pounds of flesh and blood, with the .bloated countenance of a widower; and on the other, a chignon and troasaenn, a smattering of French, and a love of tho world, the flesh and tho dev:!, all done up iu ihe paintod form of a fashionable young Indy." A youth cleaning np n Sun Francisco printing office found a keg of black sand. Another boy bet him tho spruce gum that it was powder, and ho took the bet. A coal of fire was gently but firmly dropped into the keg. There was no iusumneo on tho building. Tho two experimental youths are supposed to gave gone into the country looking for the spruce gum. A Versailles letter refers to a secret visit of tho Bishop of Orloans, who is said to have had an interview with tho King of Prussia. His object, it is be? lieved, was to interest the King in a com? promise between the Legitimists and the Orlonnists, by which the Count do Cham bord would nscond^ the French throne, and. being childless, would be succeeded by the Count de Paris. A despatch from San Francisco. De? cember 6, says: Last evening, Mrs Jesse B?rsell and her two little children were murdered in the most revolting mau nor at their residence at Portersville, near Visalin. Two Indians, who are supposed to be tho murderers, havo been arrested, and will bo tried to-morrow. They be? long to n.peaceable tribe, bnt it. is feared the citizens, iu their excitement, w ill kill tho entire baud. The reports from tho sugar cane dis? tricts of Florida continue to bo very favorable. Tho Live Oak Hearld calcu? lates that sugar cuu bo produced this year at ten cents per pound, and syrup at seventy-five cents per gallon, and that tho profit will bo much grouter than could be realized from ?hort and long cotton at seventeen and thirty-three couts per ponnd. THE ATLANTA ELECTION.-The Demo? crats of Atlanta lost tho race for Mayor in tho election on Wednesday-tho radi? cals electing Hammond, a member of the bolting fraternity of so-called Demo? crats, to that office by 148 majority. The Democrats, however, elected six ont of tho ten Aldermen, tims giviug thom cou trol of tho city government. FIHE IN BARNWELL.-The kitcbeu of Mr. B. F. Browu was destroyed by fire on tho night of the 2d instant. The Journal says: "Fortunately it was very calm, and although the kitchen was with? in ten steps of tho house, tho latter did not catch. Tho fire was the result of negligence on the part of a Bervant." In casting about for reasons for their inability to cope with the Qermau soldiers, Frenchmen are unanimous in admitting that the large consumption of that most deleterious of liquors-ab? sinthe-has really had a seriously injuri? ous effect upon the monde and physique of tho French army. Au Ohio man, who passed around a plate at a. religious meeting for contribu? tions for the heathen, and then pocketed the money, has been acquitted of steal? ing, by a jury of tho vicinage, on the ground that he was tho greatest heathen they knew, and therefore justly entitled to the money. A physician at Beaver Dam, Wk, who was arrested for beating his wife, tore down his sign and swore he wouldn't livo in a community that interfered with a man's domestic affairs. His banner has been flung to tho breczo in Chicago, with brilliant prospects of success. There is an old saying that "orime seldom pays in tho long rim." We don't kuow. Some Rodicals have had a pretty "long run" of it, and have got rich. But wait till they die. It's mighty "seldom" if they can make it pay down there. Allen Barksdale. one of the most aged, estimable and distinguished of our citi? zens, died of paralysis, at his residence, two miles from this place, on the morn? ing of the 7th instant, in the eighty seventh year of his ago. [Laurenst>?Ile Herald. A Nevada mau traded his fourten year old daughter for a yoke of oxen. The purchaser locked tho girl up in the barn, and she set fire to it, and in the con? fusion escaped to her graod-father's. In my opinion, says Sallust, ho only may bo truly said to live and enjoy his being who is engaged in sonic laudable pursuit, nnd acquires n name by some illustrious action or useful art. Tho Israelites nt Cincinnati are moving for n National Jewish University, und a prominent Israelite of Lawreneoburg, Ohio, has initiated the movement with a subscription of $10,000. The citizens of Tuscarora Conuty, Ca? lifornia, huvo lynched two Indians, the murderers of tho Bouseli family, and aro in pursuit of the third. Miss Alice Octavia Witts, a young lady of Harrisonburg, Virginia, was killed on Sunday last, in Augusta County, in that State, by being thrown from n horse. A spunky brido in Port Hope, Canada, married the groomsman., becuuso the bridegroom was too much intoxicated to stand erect. The Bennettsville Journal announces the death on tho 28th ult., of Mr. Ri? chard W. Dudley, an old citizen of that place. Why aro there moro marriages in winter than in snmmor? Because then men seek comforters and the ladies muffs! The handsome synagogue recently erected by tho Israelites of Augusta, Qa., was dedicated on Friday evening. It is a noticeable fact that people who change their miudbfton never get a good one. Meals furnished at reasonable hours, at POLLOCK'S.

We learn that on the first of January next, tho bank will bo put in oporation. Tho capital stock will bo 8100,000, with tho privilege of raising tho amount to $500,000. Many of our most prominent and substantial busiuoBs meu hnvo embarked in tho project, und tho now institution will begin its operations under very favorablo auspices. It will, wo boliove, bo under such management ns to commend it to entire public confidence. It will be known as tho Central National Bank of Columbia, W. C. HIGH HANDED AFFAIR.-Yesterday morning, Sheriff Frnzee, having in charge the Laurens prisoners-ten in number-attempted to take the train for Laurens, in ordor to carry tho prisouers beforo Judge Vernon, by whom writs of habeas corpus had been issued in their respectivo cases. Before he could get upon tho cars, he was arrested by tho Surgeont-nt-Artns of tho IIouso of Rep? resentatives, neting under tho orders of Joseph dows, Chairman Special Committee." After some hesitation, Mr. Fruzco decided to submit to tho arrest, and was summoned beforo the Special Committee, at 10 o'clock. No aotion was taken nt that hour, but he was sum? moned to appear beforo them again, to-morrow morniug. We learn that a messenger was despatched to Laurens, yesterday morning, to summon Judge Vernon, also, beforo said committee. From these unusual proceedings, it would seem lhat Governor Scott has ab.licuted, that tho civil Courts sro no? where, und that the paramount power of tho Stato is now exercised by tho Legislativo majority, acting through one Joseph Crows, ''Chairman of the Special Committee." Comment is unnecessary. PHONIXIANA.-The price of single copies of the PHONIX is five cunts. If carriers charge more it. is simply a swin? dle. They can bo obtained at that price at tho ofiice. The press of advertisements forces us to issue another supplement to-day. It will- be found to oohtain several matters of interest. If you are desirous of obtaining nn airing, in a handsomo vehicle, with a spanking team, give Messrs. Boyce & Co., n call, at the stables of Mr. C. Logan.

A "Bent in tho Cloud," by Charles Lever, is tho title of a novel, which'has been presented to us by Messrs. Bryan & MoCarter. Tho prioo is fifty cents. The reputation of Charles Lover is world? wide. Tho popularity of his novels "Charles O'Mulloy," "J*ack Hiuton," "Harry Lorroquer," .'Tom Burke," "Arthur O'Leary," nod others, have never been exceeded. His works aro full of genial humor, brilliant, wit, and speaking daguerreotypes of striking cha? racters. T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, are the publishers. A young lady who has boen practising "Let me kiss him for his mother," says the more sho tries it the better she likes it. If you want to eeo a pretty tolerable specimen of vanity, consult your own looking glas3. "Neok-Tio Parties" havo dawned in the rural districts.

Open an oyster, retain tho liquor in tho lower or deep shell, nod if viewed through the microscope, it will be found to contain multitudes of small oysters, covered with shells, and swimming nimb? ly about-ono hundred and twenty of which extend but one inch.
