COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, January 14,1871.1 The Hon. Jaoob M. Howard, that in? candescent patriot who sought cheap oapital by being borne into the Senato Chamber upon a stretcher to vote for tho impeachment-of President Johnson, has been pretty effectually stretched out iu a different manner by the election of Thop. W. Ferry, at present the Representativo from tho Fourth Michigan District, to take his place .upon the 4th day of March next. It is understood that Mr. Ferry is far from being as vonomous os the gen? tleman ho succeeds. 'There must be something in tue air o? Corsica favorable to the early develop? ment of heroism. Napoleon the first, at twenty-six, made a revolution his stop? ping-stone to a throne, and here is an? other Corsican, in the person of Gam? betta, at thirty five, swaying the desti? nies of France. From all accoiiDts tho latter is gifted with oil tho elements of greatness, and in his yet short political career he has displayed moro clear-head? ed, practical sense, energy and undaunt? ed courage than any other man upon tho scene. How closely his future will assi? milate to the life of the other groat Cor? sican, remains yet to be developed. Two years ago, wo wero lcd to believe that the Alabama olaims amounted (o at least $100,000,000. A year later, we could not get anybody to suppose that they amounted to $50,000,000. Six months ago, somebody, who professed to be good at fignres, put the total amount down at $20,000,000. Two weeks ago, it was $15,000,000; and now, somebody who knows all about it and always did, comes ulong with the assur? ance that$13,000,000 will cover the entire pile of claims, not moro thau one hulf of which will be presented for settlement. If the thing keeps on dwindling awny after this sort, it is foaled Schonck will reach the Court of St. James only in time lo hear the Ministry say to tho but? ler of the establishment, "give him a cold potato and let him go." MR. EDITOR: In your report, in your issue of tho Tth instant, of the recent troubles iu Uuiou, you state that "a party of unknowu horsemen went to the Sheriff and demauded thc keys of thc jail; that they were given up," ?c<?. This statomeut is incorrect. Tho facts are these: On Wednesday night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a large body of armed horsemen-all of whom were unknown to me-appeared at the jail of Union and demanded the keys of tho jail. I refused to deliver up thc keys. The outer doors of the jail were then broken open, a guard placed over me, tho dun? geon locks and bolts then forced, aud five prisoners removed. I did not de? liver up the keys, but persistently and steadily refused so to do, though at'the risk of my life. Being alono, I could make no resistance agaiust overwhelm? ing numbors. It is due to tho citizens of Union to say that a guard to protect the jail could have beeu easily procured, but no danger of an attack being apprehended, I did not con?ider a guard necessary. J. BICE ROGERS, Late Sheriff of Union County. UNION, S. C., January 12, 1871. To THE Pci?Lic.-On the 17th May last, I called at the County Treasurer's office in Columbia, and paid my tuxes for 18G9. I had a witness ticket, signed by the Clerk of the Court, Daniel B. Miller, Esq., for $11.00. The Trea? surer's clerk collected out of this $7,21, tho amonut of my taxes, and returned me $0.20 in cash. I received a receipt, which I unfortunately lost or mislaid, and an execution for $11.50, including penalties and costs, was recently issued against mo. I called on Treasurer Don? ny, nn? could get no satisfaction. He said I must pay, or my property would huvo to bo sold, and that I had only paid my poll tax on tho 17th May. Being now over sixty years of age, 1 was not liable lo pay a poll tax, aud it is plain to me, ho took advantage of my iguoranco to make me pay taxes twice. I had to pay $1-1 50 laxes ou tho 11th, to savo my property from being sold. 1 desire the publie and ruy people, gen? erally, to know how Treasurer Denny takes advantage of the want of educa? tion of tho colored people. Treasurer Denny carno hero a poor man; he now lives in a hue, bouse and building a fine printing establishment. He is at least worth $100,000 now, made out of tho State, and wants to increase his hoards by such trausactions aB I have stated. CAESAR GURLEY.

I Mr. Owens introduced a concurrer resolution, that whereas it is reporte that tho Superintendent of the Penitei tiary has grossly abused his office, b speculating in the funds appropriated b tlio State for tho maintenance of tl Penitentiary, and by speculating in coi viet labor nnd otherwise, be it Resolved, That a committeo of titre on tho part of the Senato and-of tl House be appointed to iuvestigato tb affaira aud transactions of tho said St perintendent and tho Board of Direi tors, to have tho power to scud for pe souB and papers, und to report tho resti of their investigations at an early day t the General Assembly. Upon this resolution, consideran! debate ensued, participated in by Messr, Leslie, Nash und others. Mr. Lesli stated that in his opinion there wei strong grounds why this investigatio should be instituted. That S80.0U0 hu been uppropiated by the State for tl support of tho Peuilentiury, and tho ii dicutious were that tho great bulk of had gone to fill tho pockets of speculi tive Stato authorities. Ho stated tin the Governor had made a contract wit a Mr. Pope, whereby tho ?tate bad bee swindled out of $80,000. Tho contra* was that Mr. Pope, for $100, should pi a certain piuco of land, around or aboi tho Penitentiary, in nil agricultural coud tiou. WllO)eas the intention simply wi to get tho wood from tho laud-seven thousand conk of which were cul. 1; convict labor, nnd resold again to tl State at $4.00 per cord, for tho uso < tho Penitentiary. Also, that numerot brick-yards hud sprung up, upon whit convict labor waa employed, aud tl bricks purchased for the Penitential-, and sold also to private, parties; and thi tho convicts, too, had been employed I do farm work and labor of other kim for private parties, against tho iutere and to tho detriment of the State. Le lio ulso charged, upon the authority < anonymous letters, that damaged prov sions lind been furnished tho convicts i tho Penitentiary and full prices chargt therefor uguiust tho State; and that tl Superintendent received a per centaj on all goods purchased by him from s veral merchants of Columbia and i Charleston; and that numbers of tl bills and accounts in his office, purpor ing to be bills from merchants for gooda furnished, and BO charged against tho State, were drawn np in tue hand-writing of the. clerk of the Penitentiary, ana were manifestly fraudulent. Tho concurrent resolution waa Anally passed, after being so amended aa to di? rect the Standing Committee on the Penitentiary to investigate the matter, instend of a special committee of three.

A. bill to amend an Act providing for tho next general elecliou and tho manner of conducting tho sumo carno up for consideration, and was tho subject of some warm debate, participated iu by Mesura, Corbiu, Leslie, Nash, Smalls and others. The question ut issue was the provision in the bill requiring that in the appointment of commissioners and malingers of election, there should be one at least from each political party. Leslie wi .bed to amond so as to read, from tho opposite political party, leav? ing tho Republican or the party in powei always a majority of tho board. Mr. Corbin supported the provision in soint able and pertinent remarks, stating thal it was but fair and just that each part] should bo represented in the manage mont of elections, and that it was tin only way by which a minority or defeat ed party would ever bo convinced that i fair election was hud. He staled that it Beaufort County, in the lato elections numbers of women had actually voted and large numbers of boys from len t< twenty years of age, all of which wouh bo prevented if both parties were repre seuted on tho board of muuugers. Mr Nash opposed tho enactment of any sud law; thought it un insinuation ngui ns the honesty of tho Republican party and an admission ou the part of tho Lt gislaturo that thc gross frauds charge upon them at the lust election were tnu didn't believe the Democrats would pas any such law wero they in power. Hi rulo of moral conduct was to do uni others na you think others would do nut you. A voto was then taken upon th amendment offered by Mr. Leslie, wilie was lost, ns was also a motion of Mi Smalls to indefinitely postpone the who! matter. Messrs. Nash, Smalls A Co then seeiug that they were in a Impele? minority, commenced ftllibustcriuf making motions to adjoin n, Ac, darin the course of which tho committee o tho part of thu House tu draw up arl des of impeachment, and conduct tl impeachment ?if Judge Vernon, wei announced.
