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.

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;

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

largo business iu this State, and through?
out tho Sooth:

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?

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.

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.

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. Nothing
can be cheaper, and, as far it goes,
nothing more efficient.

We see that somo of our exchanges
are already hailing with delight, inter?
mixed with eloquent trains of thought,
tho advent of spring, the season of
flowers and of song, but we are inclined
to the belief that they will yet be com?
pelled to exclaim with shivering lips
.'now is the winter of our discontent!"
This thing we call weather has become
to be very fickle, and wo will not "hail a
smiling spring" until the frosts of tho
winter are melted away by the genial
rays of a summer's sun.
Captain Stanley has a number of
busts of Genoral Lee, which have been
recognized as correct portraits. Seo
them.
The Chapman-Bishop troupe give two
entertainments in Columbia, commenc?
ing on tho 13th. They are burlesquers
of the first order, and are highly com?
mended by the papers iu the different
cities where they have performed.
We have been furnished by the City
Clerk with a certified copy of the en?
rolled Act, entitled "Au Act to alter and
amend the charter of tho city of Colum?
bi*," approved March 2, 1871. Owing
to the want of space we are compelled to
defer publication until to-morrow. This
is tho bill which merchants and property
holders are so auxions to peruse.
Attention is directed to several verbal
