Saturday Horning, December 17,1870. Tbe French Provisional Government is once moro OD its travels. Tours has been abandoned and Bordeaux selected aa tho new temporary capital of the struggling Republic. Thia movement waV re'udored imperative by the rapid approach ol the Prn&siaus to Toura. Bordeaux ls not beyond the roach of tbe swift moving German legions, and if their leaders have determined to capture tho now rulers of France, they will in a ahort't?me compel them to forsake their now abiding place- These removals of the seat of> -Government must in the end result in an amusing race between tho peripatetic Fr?lich miera and the tire? some troops of Germany. Judge Vornan. We publish this morning the letter of Jodge Vernon to the House of Repre? sentatives. This is in reply to tho reso? lution of impeachment. There is another resolution now before tho House, against Judge Vernon, demanding that he should show oanse why ho should not be attach? ed for contempt, in letting to bail the ."Laureus prisoners upon habeas corpus. To this/resolution, he has to mako his showing. Singular to say, tho Houso has refused him counsel. This is Judge Vernon's constitutional right. Tho House may require that he shall appear ia per? son before it. But how, upon such a charge, they can refuse that he be heard by counsel, is more than wc can compre? hend. Judge Vernon ?3 now ill, and may not he in a condition to appear iu person this day, at 1 o'clock. What then? Com? mit him for a contempt without a hear? ing! Judges of South Carolina, is that the law? - ?tn? Thc Arlington Mutter in a. Nut-Shell - New Ethic*. Senator McCroery, a Kentucky gen? tleman, with the old time notions of honesty, proposes that tho United Slates Government, whioh had robbed tho Lee's of Arlingtou, should restore the property. Senators Sumner, Morton, and other latter-day saints of the Radical peasua sion, prononnco Senator McCreery a very. unreasonable mani The proposi? tion is that Lee, as a dead rebel, has no rights which a "loyal" Senator is bound to respect. Sumner said that Stanton's idea was to bnry the Federal dead at Arlington, so that their ghosts might frighten any of tho Lee's who might return to tho ancestral home. What would Mr. Sumner think of a man who should go to his estate in Massachusetts, and bury some Confederate dead there, 60 that their ghosts might frighten him away from his property? Such are the ethics that prevail in tho United States Senate. The United States Government robbed the Leo's of Arlington, and now it is proposed to in? vest the deed with a halo of "loyalty." Tho Yorkvillo Enquirer, referring to the efforts made to obstruct the execu? tion of the writ of habeas corpus in the aaso of the Laurens prisoners, says: "Such action on the part of tho State authorities deserves the condemnation of all law-abiding citizens, and is ns productive of harm on the ono hand as are the Ku Klux outrages ou the other. While it is desirable that the perpetra? tors of the Laurens, as well ns other disturbances, shall be punished, it is due to all suspected parties that they have a fair hearing before the constituted Courts; and a denial of the privilege of tho writ of habeas corpus is a stride boding evil to the country, and not at all adapted to allay the bad condition of the disjointed times. To secure a strict observance of the Jaws, let the law-givers make the sxamplo, in preference to usurping tho rights and privileges of freemen." The same journal, referring to cor tai 0 proceedings that have ocourrcd in that County, rebukes the perpetrators, und speaks good and proper words iu behalf of order. Onr earnest suggestion to our friends throughout tho Stato is to keep them? selves in tho right. <-??.. Mn. EDITOR: A great addition will .ihortly bo mado to our fire department, in tho shape of a first class steam fire eu? gine, *a somctbting that will surprise sonic of tho old inhabitants; what has boeu talked of for somo time, is about to bc realized, thanks to our liberally-dis? posed citizens, who are always lound rhen wanted. The committee has been to work, and kindly responses from cor? porations will enable them to put into operation this much desired object, and tho ciiects on our present efficacious de? partment will bo seen and its uutold ad? vantages fully appreciated.

Suggestive names. COLUMBIA, S. C., Dooember 15,1870. To the Honorable Franklin J. Moses, Jr., Speaker of (Tie House of Representatives. BIB: I havo the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your official communica? tion of yesterday, covering the reso? lution of the House of Representatives of tho State of South Carolina, in words following, to wit: "That T. O. P. Ver? non, Judge of the Seventh Judicial Cir? cuit, be and is hereby impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors." I have no complaint to make against this aotion of tho Honse of Representatives, wherein it sees fit to prefer charges agtiinst me UH a public officer, provided those charges are made, an to form and substance, in such manner that they can be answered and mot by me. This is the constitu? tional prerogative of the House of Re? presentativos, on tho one hand, and it is my constitntional right to answer tho charges and repel them os best I may, on the other, and to this end I demand my trial. Let the charges be now made, and I am prepared to defend my official conduct iu the presence of the Senate, sitting as a Court of Impeach ment. I demand the specification of these high crimes with:which I have boon charged. I demand the specifications of misde? meanors charged against m? in tho exer? cise of tho functious of thc high office to which I have been chosen. Permit me hero to say thot I did not seek tho offico of Judge ia South Carolina. I was ap? pointed to it by the Qoueral Assembly, without .solicitation on my part-in point of fact, without my knowledge. I felt then, ns I feel now, my unworthiness to stand in tho place of tho illustrious men of tho State who havo heretofore worn, without fear and without reproach, tho judicial ermino-men who have, by their courage, their profouud learning und un? sullied virtue, rendered illustrious the judicial history of the commonwealth. I nccoptcd the offico with neither the hopo or expectation that I could illus? trate it with that learning or exalt it with that ability which had characterized its past history; but, in aa, humbler sphere, I honestly felt that, with God's help, I could maintain untarnished nt least its nucieut purity and unsullied vir? tue. Great judicial talents may adorn tho State, but without thoso advantages, a less shining judicial quality, to wit: judi? cial integrity, may otten serve tho State. lu this latter quality, nt least, I claim to be the peer of tho first among tho first, and challenge au investigation, without fear of proof to tho contrary. It may bo to my individual comfort, and perhaps it might gratify some, that I should now tender to the General Assembly the commission which I re? ceived from it, without solicitation, accepted in deference to its judgment, have hold without dishonor, and nm prepared to surronder without regret. But in this grave isauo, personal con? sideration must yield to a sense of public duty. I do not stand alone. The inde? pendence and integrity of tho judicial branch of tho Government shall not be stricken down in my person, without at least a fearless, though it may bc iu eflVctua), effort to resist all assaults upou either, como from whatever quarter they may. With this resolve, I submit my? self to tho action of the House of Repre? sentatives, and havo tho honor to com? municate tho Hamo through you, its presiding officer. I shall appear in per? son wlxui summoned by tho Senate, assisted by my counsel, tho Hon. Joseph D. Pope and Col. A. C. Haskell, coun? sellors at law, of this city. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, T. O. P. VERNON. FOUND DEAD.-A colored man was found iu tho road leading from Cross Key's to Padgett's Ford, on yesterday morning.

A FRANK CONFESSION.-Senator Les? lie, of Barnwell, in his remarks, yester? day, ou a bill authorizing the Olerks of the two Houses to make the necessary contracts for tho printing of tho Legis? lature, stilted that there always had been and always would bo stealing in that de? partment; and ho wanted Joe Woodruff -whom all theScuatora know-to have a finger in the pie. It was a broad asser? tion, but whether complimentary to Mr. Woodruff, or not, wc aro not prepared to say. It is certainly time something wus dono in tho mutter, as over three weeks of the session have expired, and tho former contract for printing is still cou tinned, although proposals have been submitted ut prices fully twenty percent, below present rates. . PHONIXIANA.-Tho price of single copies of tho PIUENIX is five cents. If carriers charge more it is simply a swin? dle. They can be obtained nt that price at the office.

PHOTOGRAPHY AS A SCIENCE.-It can no longer bo denied that photography, as a whole, is a science, and ono that demands a speedy study. Tho mass of tho peoplo havo, unfortunately, been led to behove otherwise, and to regard it simply in a mechanical point of view; therefore wo deem it necessary to state, for tho benefit of the art, and in justice to thoso practi? cal photographers who havo mado tho profession their lifo-timo study, that it requires of ono tho possession of a tho? rough kuowlo?goof chemistry, to under? stand tho philosophy of light, and to acquire a correct tasto and judgmont in tho poso.'nnd tho distribution' of shades, iu order to produco a pleasing and ar? tistic picture. Tho eve must accustom itself to detect, at a glance, any imper? fections occasioned either by nu awkward position, a false ray of light, br imperfect condition of chemicals, and to remove such, in order to create a clear aud bril? liant effect. Wo could mention many other requirements, but have no space to ouumerato them. Those beautiful Rem? brandt pictures, to ho seen at Weam & Hix's gallery, have a brilliant and artistic finish; while their card photographs are unsurpassed. Wo examined a set of pic? tures a day or two ago, of a child aged two and a half years, and pronounce tho work superior to anything of tho kind we have ever seen.
