co:^ Wednesday Mottling, Match 8,1871. / The bill to promote the consolidation of the Oreen villa and Bine Rid go Roods became'sr law yesterday, by the approval of the Governor. If any misapprehen? sion continues to exist as to the charac? ter, pf this bill, wo think it mast be dis? sipated by the clear and forcible message which accompanied the approval. From what wo learn, thio Aot bsa been most favorably received throughout that sec? tion of tho State moat deeply interested in ito providiono. But we notice that our Charleston contempor?neo, the News and tho Republican, are still violent in their hostile criticisms. They must surely be misinformed as to its history. It is: possible that they do not under? stand that this Act does not consol id a te, but only enables the two companies to consolidate, if they see that such a con? solidation will bo for the joint advan? tage bf both. We think it very clear that it will be, but that matter we are content to le?ve to those who are in charge of theso interests. One thing is very certain, that this Aot has followed the utter defeat pf tho two bills which proposed to repeal .tho endorsement of the Blue Ridge bonds and to guarantee a new issue of bonds by the Greenville Road. Wo are willing to trust the sagacity and energy whioh defeated this hostile legislation. Whatever may be thought at a distance, the administration of the Blae Ridge Road has won the confidence and admiration of every honest-minded citizen here, by the skill and success with whioh they have fought a hard fight. To us there docs not seem the slightest 'likelihood that they will throw away the advantages they have gained. Whatever may have been the persistence with whioh the Greenville Road* manifested its desire to take selfish1 care of itself, and however popular rumor may have magnified the unscrupulousness of their oonduct in endeavoring to effect their new loan, every practical man must see that once this consolidation is effected, the interest of what has boen called the Greenville Ring becomes at once, identified with the Blae Ridge Road. They become de? pendent upon tho consolidation for the means to make their road a first-class one, and every mile completed of the Blae Ridge adds to their income and consequence, while the whole section ol oonatry through which they both pass ic benefited by the perfection and comple? tion of both. The new consolidated Board will, we understand, give ample security to the State of an honest and efficient dllminis traf ion, and we can freely congratulate tho State upon the achievement of a great enterprise. We ventare to think that it will not be long before our friends of the Republican and the Nervs will find out that with the best motives they have been fighting against as true and as honest a measure as has been passed by our Legislature for many years. -<-*??-? The Forty-First Congress, which covers the first two years of President Grant's administration, ended on Satur? day, and the Forty-Second Congress began its session at noon on that day. There are not many tears over the grave of its predecessor. Its sins of omission and commission have beon many. Mea? sures of practical value to tho public were largely thrust aside, or very crudely dealt with; but when it came to usurp? ing and partial legislation, for partisau or special interests, or bills of pains and penalties upon the Southern people, or bayonet election Acts, the late Congress was wide awake and progressive. Its viciousness of intention was quite equal to that of action, as exemplified by the Ka Klux bill, the compulsory educatiou bill, and other political monstrosities which did not reach incubation. Such evil progeny, however, as had strength to come to the birth, like the enforce? ment Act, appear to have turned apon and rent their own mother, or, at all ovents, diminished her overgrown pro? portion. In the last Congress, the Re? publicans had a majority of forty-eight in the Senate and of ninoty-nine in the House. In the Senate their majority is now only forty, and in tho House thirty three, with somo fourteen to sixteen va? cancies, which will not materially change tho result when filled, besides ono Ar? kansas district in contest. There is also an element of strength possessed by the minority in a degree of compactness and harmony whioh cannot be assumed of the unwieldy majority. Whilst the change, however, is not great enough to affect the general policy of tho Adminis? tration, the Baltimore Sun thinks it moy endanger special measures of the Presi? dent, such as the annexation of St. Do? mingo, which was not highly favored in tho old Congress. It is also an impor? tant fact that tho two-thirds majority ol tho dominant party ia the last Congress, bab for which much that is most odiouo in reopnajtruotioh legislation oould not hayo booqino laS? ha? ?Ow ***f? tb^ex" ist In^pi thinpB tbf jfjobgressio^ial fya jority isyuow br^roghtwithin the reach of the wholesome- check of tho Executive veto. As old issues are dying ont, new ones may spring up, the method of meet? ing whioh by the Administration and Congress may still further modify the relative strength of parties. In regard to matters of taxation, internal and ex? ternal, in whioh the late Congress failed to fulfill just expectations, prompt ac? tion will be demanded of their succes? sors. Among their first duties should be the repeal of the obnoxious income tax. Last year its repeal was defeated in the Senate by Mr. Cameron leaviug bis seat at the mo ment before the vote was taken. This year it passed the Senate, but failed in the House, whioh was not willing to acknowledge the right of tho Senate to originate such a bill. Gen. Pteasanton has announced that he must soon begin to collect this demoralizing and unpopu? lar levy, unless it is dono away with im? mediately. The new Congress should lose no time in wiping it from the statute book. Those of the members who oome fresh from the people-not a few of them being, in faot, elected upon the is? sue of repeal-must appreciate the strong repugnance that is felt towards this partial and inquisitorial excise. It may be added that not only is the income tax unneocssary, but there are other forms of internal revenue whioh the in? coming Congress should do away with. Gon. Logan, who has just gone from the Houso to the Senate, said last week: "Tho people are not going to submit to these enormous burdens imposed upon them by Congress. Ho did not desire to attend tho funeral of tho Republican party within the next two years." Whilst the effect of measures upon the existence of a party is not tho proper rule of public policy, yet those of Gen. Logan's party who adopt such a ruletas their standard, may be advantageously thus warned not only in regard to taxa? tion, but to such measures os Ku Klux Aots, Federal compulsory education Acts, and others of a similar character. The policy of injustice, inequality and sec? tionalism, if persisted in, may, in the light of the reduced majorities in Con? gress, bo at least modified. Tho New Orleans Times tbuB heralds the adjournment of the Louisiana Legis? lature: WHOOP 1 HUBBAH 1-To-day dies the legislative session of the General Assem? bly for the year 1871, after a sixty days' life, unprecedented in the history of any similar body for corruption. In cougra tulatiug our people upon tho auspicious day The first long day of nothingness, The last of danger sud distross wo gladly turu from tho putrid carcass of State credit and reputation it leaves behind, lo rejoice in the season of disen thralmeut and political rest which now opens to sight down the vista of future months. Wo are satisfied that to-morrow morn? ing every citizen will draw one long, joyous breath of relief, such as the an? cient Egyptians drew when the veil of night was lifted off their land; such as Rome drew when the hordes of Attilla poured from out her gates; such as the old Continentals drew when the last Bri? tish transport left our shores after York? town. Lot us, therefore, in the great relief and prospective brightness of tho future, endeavor to forget the misfortune and darkness of tho past. Let us laugh and be merry over the wildcat legislation, of which wo have boen made the victims; but inwardly and firmly resolved in fu? ture to profit by the example. The Legislature is dead. Dead, my Lords and gontlemen; dead, ye Right Reverend and wrong Reverend; dead in corruption and infamy; leuving, as its bequest, a chain of evils which will fetter our energies and bear down our State iu sh/une and humiliation for many a long day to como. It is fitting that our day of deliverance should be celebrated with joy and thanksgiving. Not being in? formed as to tho extent of authority wielded by the shadowy Morans, whose programme we published yesterday, in our advertising columns, we are unable to say whether his prescribed orders will be carried out to the letter or not; but, in any event, this should not prevent us from exchanging hearty congratulations with each other at our glorious deliver? ance. When Kaiser William marches out of humbled Paris, there will not be more joy and thanksgiving among its people than we are justified in experi? encing at tho adjournment of the Legis? lature. Tho poet has told us that "sweet aro tho uses of adversity." Let us try and think so, and snatch tho jowel from the head of tho loathsome toad, to lead our people by its light onward to tbo State's redemption. Already tho breeze is stirring which iu a few short weeks will swell into a whirlwind, such as sweeps sometimes through the foetid atmosphere of the tropics, leaviug in its track purity, health, and tho seeds of a grand fruition. Let us rejoice. King ont tho old, liing in tho now, King out tho false, King in the trae. Mrs. U. S.

About 1 o'clock, thc firing commenced, and was kept up al intervals for several hours-tho partiel pants being whites on the ono side anc colored persons on tho other. As thc parties were not disguised, the difficulty cannot be charged to the Ku Klux. Thc information wo havo received is, that t militia company from Camel Hill ap peared in Chester village, armed, whicl excited the whites, and they began tc arm themselves; in a short time, anothei militia company made its appearance and a collision ocourred.
