COLUMBIA, S* C. Sunday Horning, March 5,1871. NKUO FIDDLING WHILST ROME IS BUBN ' INO.-It is currently reported that tho Legislature adjourned yesterday, with the view cf giving the members an op? portunity to attend tho races. The ques? tion arose as to whether the Speaker's horse could trot faster than some other horse. Whereupon the legislative ma? jority, although the Legislature is pressed for time, and important business is before it, adjourns its regular session, neglects the public business, and squan? ders the publio money. Comment is nnneceasary. Think of a legislative j body, charged with publio interests, ne? glecting, its business to attend a petty racel y Tn reply to some of Senator Sherman's (of Ohio) ultra Radical reflections upon the South, in the United States Senate, several days ago, Senator Robertson .^scd th? following emphatic laaguagc, speaking of the Southern people's going i o to the war of (secession : "They went into it thinking thoy had a right to do so. They fought in it as .bravely and as honorably os the men who fought against them. I, for one, cannot sit here quietly and allow the honesty and veracity and honor of the ,pcopio of the South, as a mass, to be ?impugned. As a people, they are as honorable and bravo as the people of <Ohio or the people of any other State." True and timely wordB, fitly and forcibly spoken. THB BLIGHT AND CUBSE OF SLAVERY. How curious it is that Northern people see the "blight and curse of slavery" iu .everything at the South. If there is a ^particularly demoralized or thriftless community or barren spot to be found anywhere in this section of the conni ry, the ever-ready "blight and curso of .elovery" is at hand to be pumped up for service by a mawkish sentimentalism that is disgusting as well as ridiculous. Au invalid who is seeking rest and resto? ration in the delightful and invigorating air of Aiken, S. C., writes the New York Post, that in the landscape of this neigh? borhood "the blight of slavery, whose evil effects have by no means yet passed away, finds in the gloom and waste around it perfect expression." Yet this same Northerner, who cannot resist tho temptation of harping on the old string, knows better, for in the next sentence there jis an admission that "it is not altogether tho result of a social system that the region is barren and unattract? ive," aud tho proper reason is given in the fact "that the high and dry soil is the condition of tho dry, bracing air that makes the region peculiarly health? ful." In this connection, it would be pertinent, the Baltimore Sun thinks, to ask how long this "blight of slavery" will, in tho eyes of some Northern peo? ple, olin? to the faoe of the country and darken the sunny brightness of nature, and also whether it is this same "blight and curse," or some other "blight" than that of slavery, which makes the hills of New Eugland barren and forbidding, and converts that region into a pince ?where there is neither "productiveness for labor" nor "balmy air for invalids" who ueed rest? The New York Tribune, with unctions malignancy, avails itself of the death of .Gen. Magruder to indulge in a vindic? tive aud malicious falsification of facts about the private life of the dead sol? dier. Magruder had his faults, but slan? dering the dead was not one of them. He had more honor aud courage, and did "this nation" more service in Mexi? co than the whole tribe of Tribune veg? etarians aud free-lovers ever did in all their lives. His military record, and particularly the beating he gave that Tribune pet, Beast Butler, at Big Rethol, will be remembered when the political and agricultural mumblings of that jour? nalistic cabbage-munching old rabbit, Greeley, have been forgotten. It's me? lancholy to see au old ass go out of his way to kick a dead lion wheu he might just as well go on chewing his politico economical thistles. PROPERTY OP CONFEDERATES TO BE RESTORED.-The Supreme Court of the United States lately rendered a decision, iu which the Court declared to bo null and void certain legal proceedings taken before a court in Memphis, in 1863, while that city was in possession of the United States troops, against one Tho? mas A. Nelson, a citizen of that place, but then a resident within the lines of I tho Confederate army. ' It was pro? nounced by Mr. Justice Bradley-all the Judges concurring, except Chief Justice Chaso, who was absent. By this deci? sion, no salo of property, mortgaged or j not mortgaged, belonging to absout Con federates, made by virtue of a decreo of ! any court within nuy place held by the forces of tho United States, conveyed any title to tho purchaser thereof. All such sales and proceedings arc null and void, and tho property must bo delivered back to tho owner thereof, provided lie was a resident in tho Confederacy and adhered to tho Confederate States Go? vernment, and thus unable to appear in court in his own defence; this on princi? pien of international law and under tho laws of war. JL.ECU3L.AT1VE PRO OE El) IN ti S. Tho^onato Met af??A. Jj ft ? The^ramittto ouixsqnfero^M, o>Mh& disagreements relative to tho nplpropria^ tion bill, sported that; in tho ?iain tho ! Senate amendments were accepted and j the report was adopted, and the bili waa passed and ordered to be enrolled. A communication from Judge Thomas was received., stating that ho was too un? well to obey summons. Received as in? formation. A bili to charter the North-western Railroad Company pabscd to a third reading. An account of Dr. R. W. Jones, for $59.75, was ordered to be paid. The claim of C. M. Wiggins was re ferred to the Comptroller-General. The consid?ration of the claim of L, S, Langley waa indefinitely postponed. / A House bill to incorporate the Charleston Charitable Association, and a House bill to amend aud extend the abarter of the Planters' and Mechanics Bank, were read the first time. The following passed and was ordered to be seut to the House: A bill to pro? mote the consolidation of the Greenville and Columbia and the Blue Ridge Rail? roads. Mr. Corbin submitted a report rotative to Judge Thomas' case, showing that when not engaged in his regular official duties he did not reside in his oircuit. Also, reported upon the contested Sena? torial election case in Charleston, asking for farther time. Agreed to. A motion to meet again at 7.30 P. M., this evening, Was adopted. A bill to create a- debt of the State, to bo known as the sterling feuded debt, for the payment of the debt of the State, was read aud referred. A joint resolution, authorizing the State Auditor and County Commission era to levy certain taxes, was passud to a third reading. A joint resolution, to refund to Risley A' Creighton $683.78 taxes over-paid, was ordered to be enrolled for ratification. At 12.15 tho Senate adjourned. At the night session, a number of bills were read a second time, including the Greenville and Blue Ridge combinatiou. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. The House met at 10 A. M. The Committee on Engrossed Bills re? ported the following: A bill to establish the Charleston Charitable Association for the benefit of the free school fund; a bill to incorporate tho Winyah Guards of Georgetown; a bill to amend and extend the charter of the Planters' and Mechanics' Bank of South Carolina, and for other purposes therein named; which were passed and ordered to be sent to the Senate. A joint resolution to pay L. A. Bigger S12.000 and to levy a tax upon Claren? don County for that purpose, was taken up, aud, ponding its discussion, the House adjourned, at 11.30 A. M. A resolution to adjourn at 11.30 A. M., and meet again at 7 P. M., was adopted. Mr. Levy handed to the ohair a letter from Judge Thomas, stating that indis? position prevented him from attending before tho bar of the House, as required, and asked for further time; but stated that if tho House deemed the matter of such importance to bo acted upon imme? diately, he was willing that they decide the case in his absenco. A resolution lo give bim further time, uutil 9 o'clock, this evening, was adopted. A concurrent resolution from the Se? nate, to pay Judge R. P. Graham the undrawn appropriation for the payment of Judge of the First Circuit, was laid on the table. A joint resolution to authorize the State Auditor and County Commission? ers to levy an additional tax for the next ensuing fiscal year of, ten mills on the dollar-seven for the State aud three far the Counties-passed to a third rending. During the night session, a number of bills were disposed of. The Tnguloo and Chattanooga Railroad bill was read a third timo. Several hours were de? voted to Judge Thomas, of the Sixth Circuit, and after an animated debate participated in by Messrs. Hurley, Mob ley, Whipper aud others-the resolution I relative to the removal of Judge Thomas was laid on tho table. At 1 o'clock, the House adjourned. The straits to which the Administra? tion is driven in order to holster up tho Dominican schome from being absurd, have grown to be arousiog. The princi? pal duty of the commission sont thither wurd, outside of bug gathering, seems to bethe manufacture of private letters, in which au attempt to mako the most out of a bud bargain, is too plainly desperate to provo effective. Besides this, tho aid of tho clergy has been invoked, and the Rev. Dr. Yintou, who has been no near? er to San Domingo than the island of New Providence, has been induced to write a letter advocating the project. The Doctor's reasons for fooling away several millions of dollars for this pur? chase are very unique in their way. He thinks San Domingo would make a splendid sanatorium-a place for broken down politicians and preachers to recruit their health, though why they could not visit it for this pnrposo as readily under ono form of government aa another, ho fails to explain. This hygienic conside? ration, with its prospective benefits, uro so thoroughly out of proportion to tho cost, as to bu laughably ridiculous. Tho same thing was attempted hy tho British Government in the island of New Provi? dence, which tho Reverend Doctor has just been visiting. A magnificent hotel was there erected at Government ex? pense, without inducing a dozen English? men to visit it for sanitary purposes dur? ing any entire year. With a thriftless, lazy population, untutored, uncleanly, und almost uncivilized, Sun Domiugo's productive resources will provo of hardly moro beucfit than those of a sanitary character.-New Orleans Times. San Francisco has about $23,000 on hand for tho French relief fund.
