CO??TMBIA, S. C. ? ^ -* r-^ ?-:-.-;-^---*\ Thursday H?ri?ing, Haren 9.1871. Speaking of "the Earopean war and immigration," tho New- Orleans Timas says:. 1 There is one of the resnlts of the close of the war between France and Germany in which our country, and especially the South-west, aro greatly interested. Tho enormous loss and burdens consequent upon this disastrous war, mast stimulate emigration among the rural classes of both nations. A great war,, whatever may ba its termination, always produces this effect. 'When the oscillation of vic? tory coola down, and tho costa and sacri? fices thereof are calmly considered and counted, the notorious German will be apt:to MK now His personal, material and social interacts h av o been advanced by ell tho glory and triumphs of the war. Ho will quickly discover that no benefiter have or will result to him; on thc cun trtVry, that he will be subjected to in? creased bardens, and an uncertain future. He has learned, by painful experience^ the1 entire subjection of his liberty and person to the will of the most absoluto nerd e??ootivo military des? potism Which h'st? ovar existed. This yoke has rested lightly upon his nock, in the War which engaged his pride and passions. But how will it be in the dark and- uncertain future, when again and again he may be required to abandon his family and industrial pursuits to march forth to the battle-ff?ld in a cause, the right and justice whereof emperors and princes will determine for him? These? qoerieti will press with great force upon itt prn??ut, thoughtful and industrious Gorman, and give an enor? mous impulse to the already large immi? gration to this country. Our Greenville correspondent furnish? es the following particulars of tho terri? ble shooting affray in Piokeus, which was referred to in Tuesday's Pm KN ix : On Friday night last, about 9 o'clock, some two miles this side of New Bickens Oourt House, Anderson Looper, Assist? ant United States Revenue Assessor, overhauled a wagon in tho big-road, in charge of Henson Young, and others, and demanded its confiscation for a vio? lation of revenue law. Young asked for the authority for arrest. Looper replied by drawing and firing his pistol, as the authority and law of the land. Young promptly responded with the same law, and, strange to say, both men were mor? tally wounded; died in the road within five min?tes. Aa inquest, Saturday, developed thc above facts. Comment is unnecessary. Two men, by the existing condition of affairs, wore h uni ed i y ushered into eternity. Some oue, or somtthing, is sorely to blame; but let moralists and law-makers ponder on it. Yours, M; Speaking of the death of thc vene? rable Bishop Andrew, the Charleston Courier says: Aa action of his led to the division of the Methodist Church. He married a lady who owued slaves. At a session of the Confereoce ia New York, Bishop Andrew was requested to resign by many of the Northern ministers on this ac? count The Southern men deeming the request an insult to them, submitted a proposition for a Christian parting and division of property, which was accept? ed. The separation wus effected. A year elapsed, and it was found the North wanted all the property. Suit was com? menced by the South for her abare, and both the courts below and the Supreme Court of the United States decided in favor of the Sontheru church. It was ut thia time that Henry Clay, a warm frieud of Bishop Andrew, remarked, with the spirit of prophecy, that the Northern fanaticism of that church was the enter? ing wedge to the dissolution of thc Union. Tlie Southern ministers met in Louis? ville, Kentucky, in May, 1815, and es? tablished the Church South as distiuct from that North. Bishop Andrew pre? sided over tho Conference. FIUE AND Loss OF Lil's.-We are in? formed that the dwelling house of Mr. Robert West, an aged and respected citi? zen of our County, about two miles from Glenn Spriags, was destroyed by lire ou Thursday night, thc 23d ult. Hit wife, a lady about seventy years of age, was also buraed up. It is really a pain? ful and shocking thought to reflect upou tho horrid death by burning, under nnj circumstances, but where tho victim it aa aged aad decrepit woman, to us it ha: new horrors. The contents of thc house wero also consumed, the time being oolj suffioioat, after the discovery of tho fire, for tho rest of the family to escapo wit! their lives. Mr. West was badly bornee ia the fuco aad hands and came very neat meeting the fate of his wifo, which wat provented through the efforts of his son, His son and his son's wifo were nlsc sleeping in the house at thc time. [Carolina Spartan. An old negro mau, giving his name a? Sam Dixon, from South Carolina, whih sittiag down near the powder mill, a' Augusta, Ga., was attacked by two younf negro men, ooo striking him from the rear repeated blows with a heavy stick aud also over the oyo, cutting horribh gashes ou his head and forehead. Tin villains robbed him of every cent ht possessed, the old mau escaping will Iiis lifo only by his loud cries of murder, and by running when recovered from tin first shock of the blows dealt him. Th* robbers and would-be murderers have no yet beeu caught. During the week ending on the 1th there were twenty-five deaths in tho cit; of Charleston-five whites and twent; col.ned. An Egyptian dromedary', daringa rad recently, made a mile in 1.43, Trembles la Chtiter-The Ncgroe? th? Aggreaoora. that, tr? jiaual, {frare Mjj?ntitJoJ reoent ba trage "boa pitted t Scotty militia id thUpiatri^ cal a tod through Radical-i wish to give yon a truthful statement of the affair as it occurred, and so far us the facts have been ascertained. The undersigned was in the immediato vicinity where, on last Saturday, the mi? litia drilled the hotter part of the doy, with the avowed intention of fighting the Ka Klux. That hight they barri? caded the publie read, and as a young man was passing, on his way homo, they shot and wounded bini, froth ambu?H. This provoked an attack' soon after from a few disguised men, who withdrew in consequence of the superior nornboT of sffMn?gto?rf.'' Til ti following M ?nday morning, these negroes, numbering about sixty,. with: the arms and axioaatr dora nts furnished by th* Sf SIC, m?r?h?d dWn to pbtinter, a di?tahce of ton miles, cursing' and swearing and behaving like d?nions on tho rofidV Thoy damHed in' thO B?btirbs of th? town a nd: posted sen tiri eli], who clidllfehged every* white, petsch ?t^?dp? ing to. leave the town,; and compelled several citizens- to tarn ir o nv their cou bio and take a diffotisni direction. During tho day, there Were white olen enough in town to demolish these myr? midons of the Governor, had they been disposed to deeds pi violence. The wish, it is nfnitued, was expressed to the sheriff that ho Would summon '? posse of seventy-five, men, who were ready to obey his orders, and haye tho outlaws arrested, but, wo suppose, for prudential reasons, he declined to ?nter poso his official authority in any way, This whole difficulty, it seems, arose from the misguided conduct of the ne? groes, influenced, no doubt, by their wicked leaders and counselors; aud but for the forbearance of the white men of the District, there might have ensued violence and bloodshed; It is understood that Scott, last night, telegraphed to Chester to arrest the Ku Klux! No K. K. were about, 40 far as we know. He would have done his duty had he ordered his black outlaws, who had been making day and night hideous with their yells, threats and curses, to be dispersed and made to return to their homes and the corn-fields. We have no apology to make for tho depredations of disguised men at the midnight hoar; nor do we sanction deeds of violence in any respect; bat what are we to do for oar own protection whilst surrounded by half-savages, with arms in their hands, furnished by the State authorities, and encouraged to deeds of violence by the Legislature, composed chiefly of their own color and white men who are viler than themselves? CITIZEN. PUSSENT SCARCITY, OF MONEY.-We all complain of the scarcity of money, but few pause to consider where the money goes. If we persistently send it abroad we will forever be straitened, and yet we aunually pay to Northern insurance companies sums thut are fabulous. No business since the wur has boen so profitable as that of tho Northern life insurance companies. Tho large towns and little villages of the South were pla? carded with the tempting offers, and general, special and traveling agents took our lives and our means as coolly as if the v ir had not ended. What tho Yankee "bummer" had spared, the Yankee company gathered, nud the credulous South poured its hard earnings into Northern coffers, as if wo still believed them iu their wisdom, and confided in their honesty. The premi? ums we pay ure invested in Northern se? curities, increnso Northern commerce, and pay Northern taxes. Aro wo so tightly taxed that we can afford to bear the burdons of our Northern brethren? A single Northern company paid last year for rent, salaries, and taxes, ?cc., $400,000, and their name is legion. Nor are we disposed to forgot or forgive tho manner in which Southern policy-holders were treated by Northern companies. When the war broke out they were stricken from the list; nud when tho war was over they were told thoy could be re? instated, if they would pay up and establish to the satisfaction of the com? pany that they had never borne arms nor aided the rebellion. A Southern holder was to be admitted to his rights only on proof that he had been a traitor to his State. We give a copy of the oath required by a New York compauy now doing a largo business iu this State, and through? out tho Sooth: STATE OF-, ) COUNTY OF-, J 8' ?' I,-, of-, State of --, former? ly insured iu - insurance company, under policy No.-, being duly sworn, do depose and say, that I have not been connected with tho army and navy of the so-called Confederate States, nnd havo not actively participated in the lato rebellion against the United States Go? vern meat. Sworn before me, this - dav of-, 18G0. There is no mystery in lifo insurance. Its prrf'oloM and rules aro well settled and ut. understood. Tho best form in whieu it can bo conducted is the strictly mutual plau, in which no capital is required; but iu whatever form con? ducted, whether proprietary or strictly mutual, or on the mixed basis-partly capita!, partly mutual, tho great de? sideratum is faithful, honest administra? tion, and wo believe in Southern com? panies with Southern men. Of their ability and honesty wo tony judge, und iu it we eau fully confide. We know who they ..re-what their lives have been.

".%A Dent Itt?tV* Nothing ia more dangerous tb tho li? ber ti es of a people than to s abm?I to usurpations aad revolutionary innova? tions upon the freedom of their institu? tions, because .they have been fraudu? lently initiated and mader to take the forms of law. A vicious constitutional amendment or a wicked law never be? comes "a dead issuo'' with a people who know what trne liberty is, and love it for its own sake. A distinguished historian whom Mr. Beek, of Kentucky, is fond of quoting, bas said: "We find in the his? tory of all neurping governments, time changes anomaly into ay s tom, and in? jury into right. Examples begot cus? tom, and onstom ripens into law, and the doubtful precedents of one genera? tion become the fundamental maxims of another." If these changes, doubtful precedents, and the like, are at once accepted as "dead issues," forever gone irom the control or the contemplation of the peo? ple, what, according to the historian, bas happened in tba past will happen again in the future, and is happening at this m?taCut in tho tidily workings of tho United States G?verhfne?t. it is a very easy thing tor a people to lose their liberties, i While they ore careless of public nfta?r&v intent on m'?ney-makipg, ot asleep, liberty slips' ?\yny from a p?o ple before they know it, simply by a chango in the forms and laws of govern? ment, effected by designing men. No deeper truism was ever uttered than that "eternal vigilance is the price of liber? ty." The acts of legislation passed, and to bo passed, by tho present Congress, if, enco being on the statute book, they are submitted to ns "dead issues," are alone sufficient to subvert the whole ori? ginal fabric of the United States Go? vernment, wipe out the State lines and erect a despotic central power at Wash? ington. Indeed, the republic of the fa? thers is on trial th's day, and thc palpa? ble question before tho people is, shall we abolish the Republic for an Empire, or shall we not? Tho trial is before tho grand inquest of the people, and the i'udgment is to be rendered at thc next /"residential election. Any man who cries out "dead issues" and seeks to smother the recorded crimes of Radical? ism against our once free government, aids and abets the criminals and the crimes. Liberty is a habit, aad it is astonishing how easily a careless people | get over tho habit of wearing and enjoy? ing its blessings. The Grant party is working oa that theory, aad is trying to accustom the people to the use of fetters on their rights, at the mention of which onr fathers would have flown to arms. We took up the pen to-day to illustrate ono of these "dead issues" that we are told it is patriotic to forget aod ignore. It is ia refereace to one that radicalism holds most dear, aad daily uses as its greatest soare-crow to leading Democrats. They say touch tho fifteenth amendment, if you dare, and we will again rally the Republican hordes and overwhelm you indeed it is a chip on the Radical shoulder that they are especially desirous that somebody should knock off. Now, what is the status of the fifteenth amend? ment as a legalized addition to the Con? stitutum? The other day, in New Jer? sey, a man by the name of Souders was brought before tho courts for interfer? ing with qualified negro voters in the ex? ercise of tho right of suffrago under the fifteenth amendment. The counsel of Souders ut once raised tho direct ques? tion that negroes in New Jersey were not logal voters. Certainly, they were so, if tho fifteenth amendment was valid in law, but bo took tho grotiud that the amendment was a nullity and void, be? cause it had not boeu fairly and legally ratified in tho terms prescribed by the Constitution. Now, it is not likely that Sonders will over be permitted to briug tho point boforo au honest court compe? tent to settle it iu the last resort. He will bo bought off by tho enormous purchasing power of tho Radical Govern? ment. But supposo ho should develop tho Roman virtuo to push it, what would tho court have to decide? The following points: 1. Whether Congress hud thc right to coerce the ratification by a State. '2. Whother the votes of Indiana and New York were legally and properly counted. 3. Whether any amendment is lpgal that has not been submitted to the Pre? sident of tho United States for his ap? proval. Now, neither of these points ueed judicial iuvestigatioa. Every mau in America who knows anything about the matter, kaows that they aro already set? tled and adjudicated before the great bar of truth and of conviction in tho uni? versal mind. We oil know that to effect this amendment States havebeen coerced, ? that. States have been illegally counted, and that it was never submitted, for his approval, to tho President of the United Stutes. Then, we all know-Republi? cans ns well as Democrats-that it is a fraudulent and spurious amendment. And yet, because it is recorded and stands in tho book of tho Constitution ns a falso intruder and a pilloried thief in honest company, it is held that it must bo respected and revered, and no I unhallowed bauds shall disturb it. In I short, that it is "a dead issue." Some one said, "Give mo to write tho songs of ja nation tiud I will dictate its laws." j J nat yield this "dead issuo" doctrine to tho Radicals of America, and they will ask you ho further favors. Let them ! "organize hell" in this freo country, and i tho people bow down to tho charge as a i "dead issue" and you will havo put the game in tho hands of Beast Butler & Co. ?lu this immortal burlesque of Don Quixote ou knight errantry, Corvautcs, lit Las bcon said, "smiled away tho chi I valry of Spain." Let Butler miuiufnc aaaaaag--n. n rnr --7TM turo "?Toad issues" fur ns, and he will sqttlut and grin away the liberties of the American peowlK,, He^la'd?io^if, jaitas mt as the previoifa question ta a i evolu? tionary Congrus, ara 8Wttm printer's ink can ncodtopligu it. /Abd yet nom an, frob Mu inn to Texas, a n'y s DJBAWTNG OP SEATS IN THE NEW CON? GRESS.-Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Timen, (Republican,) writing on Saturday lust, gives the fol? lowing account of the drawing of seats in the Honse of Representatives on the first day of the first session of the forty second Congress, which commenced on Saturday last. It will bo soon that allu? sion is made by the correspondent to the location of sonia of tho members of the South Carolina^detfg^f?tf :. The last cooney of th?' c?ay, and the ono usually of moot_iuT?r*?ai;-flieh took place, to wit: the ciru'vlirig' of seats. This is usually a funny s??ne, but was to-day void of interest. The members all re? tired behind tho benches, except Mr. Dawes, who, by unanimous consent, being the oldest member of the House, was allowed to ohoose his own seat, which ho did by advancing his former location two rows, and passing to tho next aisle to the right so as to be more squarely in the Speaker's eye, a thing which some out of the way members think is altogether unnecessary. Dele? gate Hooper, of Utah, Was the first man called, arid went into the seat of Blair, of Michigan, across tho aisle from Dawes. Then Shellabarger was called, aud went into the old seat of Garfield, right be? hind Dawes, while Garfield took a chair right alongside of him in the old place of Allison, who goes out. The first man called on tho Democrat I ic side was Arthur, a now member from Kentucky, who complacently invaded the precincts hitherto in possession of Eldridge, of Wisconsin. Roosevelt, of New York, walked iuto Sunset Cox's quarters, while Williams, of Iudiana, got his old place, once filled by Thad. Stevens, and from which there hasn't been a sentence worth noting since that day. Lynch, of Maioe, was lucky this time to pay for ail his bad luck hereto? fore. Rainey, the fine-looking colored member from South Carolina, was called carly, but modestly took a scat a little ono side. Hooper sat down in his old placo right under the Speaker's nose, while Bingham and Oakes Ames went back to their old camps, side by side, on tho inuer lino of tho Democratic seg? ment. The "old man eloquent" seems to have grown fond of that place, though bo is among his euemies. From it, be looks tho whole Republican quarter in the face, and can turu and hurl defiance at his Democratic backers ia. the roar. Jamos Brooks lost his favorite roost, bat got over very well on the'next division, and a little nearer the Republican lino. Banks got his old place, which is not the best one for him, sinoe he never speaks from any other man's desk. Gea. John Ketobam's lucky star was again in the ascendant, and he took a quarter line desk in thc heart of the Republican country, and alougside of him his col? league Wheeler sat down, throe seats in advance of his old location. A small colored colony gathered around Rainey'? seat, Walls, of Florida, with a blue neck? tie and a very white shirt, going io on his right, and DuLarge, of South Caro? lina, on his rear, until Iloraco Maynard came along toward the last, and dickered with DeLarge, by which tho latter wat shoved one seat nearer tho wall, so thal Maynard's lean, threatening, cadaverous finger, over pointing toward something, is in a direct line with tho Speaker's pro? file Mitchell, tho Milwaukee bunker, dropped into tho seat of Fitch, tho Ne> vada orator, his quondam townsman. Besido him sat tho Mephistophles ol New York Democratic politics, and OE tho very outer rim of tho circle, at thc foot of tho main aisle, near the muiu door, in the draft, tho dust and thc ashes, the cbouy Elliott, of South Caro? lina, spread Iiis blanket. Among the un? fortunates wero tho jolly Peters, ol Maine, and Suuset Cox, who mado theil camp on tho fringe of their respective political circles, while unluckiest of al was Butler, who left before the drawing, and now has not even a foot of thc House to call his own. Tho House then adjourned until Monday. -. A TOOTHLESS PEOPLE.-Terrible time; in Warrenton, Virgiuia, aro thus depict? ed by the editor of tho Sentinel: A few weeks ugo a dentist came tc town and advertised that ho would "re move all of a person's teeth for $2 and iosert a new sot for 310, besides giving six months' credit." Tho WarreutoE people aro very food of bargains, sc there was a ru&h for tho dentist's office He was busy for two weeks pulling teeth, and at the end of that time hall the people had empty gums, and a bone dust factory iu tho neighborhood doubled its workmen, so ns to grind nf tho teeth. Meanwhile tho people wore wailing for tho dentist to fit them wit! new sots, but tho abandoned semi nd re eloped with tho hotel-keeper's wife; and now thero aro 2,000 or 3,000 peoplo ir town who cannot cat anything toughei than Boup aud farina. All the butcher.' have failed, and not a cracker has beer sold for threo weeks. One man, it ii said, whittled out a sot of wooden teeth for himself, but tho first drink of whis key ho took-Warrenton whiskey-sel them in a blaze, and his funeral oame of tho next day. Tho dentist will hear o: something greatly to his disadvantage ii he comes buck. Ladislaus Ghillianyi, said to be the wealthiest man in Hungary, died lat obj at Eperies. Ho was a bachelor of SO and so miserly that ho preferred deatl: to expending a florin for medicino whiel tho poor honse physician had prescribe! for him. Ho bequeathed his ontiro for tuno-somo 20.000,00'? florius-to a dis tant relative, on tho express conditiot that only 500 ;! iritis should bo expended annually. ?ggBggggjggj* """" .g UNITED STATES OOUBT-How.

PAVE? "BED COYEHS."-Tho mode of making comfortublos warmer by lining them with newspapers is good, as long as they last, which cannot be long, espe? cially after washing a few times. I have tried a simpler way of attaining tho same object on cold nights, when I have not had sufficient cover over me, nt hotels, where we cannot always get what we want. Throw off ono or two of the top covers from tho bed, then pnll from tho pocket or satchel two or three large I newspapers-ouo very large will do spread them on the bed, repluce the cover, and you will have a comfortable night, without any perceptible increase in the weight of bedding. Again, when you havo a hard, cold rido iu tho opon cutter of ten or twenty miles, against the wind, place a spread newspaper over your cheat before you button up yonr overcoat, and you will not become chilled through.
