Friday ?ornvni-. November 22, 1872< Ttic B?B.?tortMl Couleit. An active canvass is going OB. it ap? pears* rigbt ander oar, noses here in 0o Issib!^ for the Senatorial ?hoes of Hon. F. A. Sawyer, the .election,. it is ex? pected, will take place early in the onsu ing session. Candidates and their friends | begin to show the ardor and seal whioh so great a prize is oalenlatod to stimu? late. They will. seek an early solution of who is tho beat man. Thereby hangs ? tail. It is not the Senatorship alone which has to be decided, but many mioor offioes hell in connection with it. The ?triog of positions whioh may, one by one, be vacated by the success of some one gaining the highest at tbe top, will present the liveliest attractions to all as? pirants down along its line. The office now, yoa see, is not seeking the man, bat several men aro seeking the office, and many sabordinates and strikers are looking on with ravenous eyes, straining to ascertain what arc liksly to be the possible vacancies. Siuoe the great revolution in oar State affairs, whioh brought a new set and order of men to the Borfaoe and front, of all the high positions that of United States Senator has baen the least dese? crated and tho least abased. At the regular election whioh cacao on at the meeting of the Legislature after the adoption of the Stato Constitution, Thomas J. Robertson and F. A. Sawyer bore off the Senatorial prizes. R K Scott gave way to Robertson, and mo? destly contented himself with the Go? vernorship. Robertson is a native!' of the State, a graduate of the college, a man of property, of good business quali? fications and integrity. He was elected withont difficulty, and re-eleoted last winter over all opposition. His course has generally been discreet. It might have been more generous towards the people of South Carolina; but, taken all in all, we cannot complain of him, consi? dering his surroundiugs and the neous-1 sities which his Radicalism imposed upon him. He is not a speakiug man, bat has an active mind when applied to practical matters, and is capable of mnoh energy. He has quietly and silently done something for our people. He vindicated Hampton, Butler and Kersbaw when rndely and lyingly as? sailed in the Senate? and at one oritioal moment, he testified to the good order and qniet of the people of the State and its freedom from Ko Klux outrages; but without avail. It was in the book of fate that that cruel game must be played through. Robertson should be regarded as the least odious of all our natives who embraced Republicanism. He was inoculated early, and the virus entered naturally und logically iuto him. In swallowing Radicalism, we should think 'twere weii ;twere done quickly." F. A. Sawyer has to walk tho plank. Why, exactly, we cannot see. He has been a school-keeper, and that is a popu? lar and much vaunted calling in onr new Africa. He is a New Engl?nder, and so oomes from the right quarter. He is an Adonis, aud pleases the ladies. He is a fair speaker, and has all the re? quisite onceit and self-importance to make him a favorite. It is not Liberal? ism-which has hurt him. He has for some time, from apprehension that he wonld be counted ont, emphasized his Radicalism. He is narrow-minded and bigoted enough to meet all tho extreme demands of party. But he is played out, and his place is wanted. We don't fancy him mnoh, but neither he nor Robertson has ever oondesoended \* any baseness. - Three candidates press forward to fill Sawyer's plaae?Gov. Scott, R. B. Elli? ott, member of Congress from this Dis? trict, and "houest" John J. Patterson. Whioh of the three to choose? On dil, Chief Justice Moses has withdrawn iu favor of Elliott, and Elliott deuies that ho has withdrawn in fuvor of Patterson. He says that ho will run, in order to make a stand for ''right and justice;" that is, for the advancement, in his own person, of his race to positions of the highest honor. Patterson labors uuder the sin? gular infatuation that he is qualified for something besides railway speculations and schemes. Gov. Scott thinks that a return to tho practice- of modioiuo, after he has shuftl jd off the coils of office, will not agree with him. What is thu votor to do? It will not relievo his embarrass ment to sing; ?'llow happy could 1 bo with oither, Wore t'otbti' doar uharmer away." God help ual These nro the people who modestly think themselves qualified honorably to fill the seats once occupied by Lowndes and Oalhonu, Preston and Bailor. In the grand eulogy prououneed by Daniel Webster, his great rival in debate, upon John C. Calhouo, he mug uanim?usly but most truly said, that "he was worthy to have been a Senator of Borne, when Borne was free." We will do this trio of candidates, the WBtioe to admit that Wey ar?'wer^hy^freprtien^ log South Carolina iu the,United States' Senate, now that she is in chain*, ?\ jjf?1-?^??-?--S-'?ft Forthcoming Appointhunts ?Flash? ed with success, the Administration is about to take some bold steps. It fanoies that it is strong enough to defy public opinion, and. betow offices upon any of its favorites, no matter how little they possess the public oonfldenoe. Thus we hear it givon oat that when the vene? rable Justice Nelson retires from the Sopreme Court, as it is his intention shortly to do, the President will appoint that petty politician whom he raised from obscurity at the Philadelphia Con? vention, Tho mas Settle, to the vacancy, A more unfit selection, for tho highest judicial position in tho land, can hardly be imagined. Why is it that tho great Republican lawyers, who would be proud of such au elevation- theEvartses, Fieldses, Merediths, Binghams and Hoars?are slighted, and a man of noto? rious mediocrity is thrust beyond his level? In it not a part of tha President's now established policy to give preference to small men for office, so that his owu dwarfisuness may not be more conspicu? ous than necessary? Another report circulated in the official organs is, that one Langston, a negro practicing in the Washington Police Courts, is to have Attorney-General Williams' place iu the Cabinet. Even Fred. Douglas* de? nounces this embryo Cabinet official as a fraud. Beauties or tue Ko Klux Laws.? The proceedings in Alabama, whereby Conservative members of tho State Le? gislature were arrested under the Ku Kim laws and kept away from the oupitol, in order to prevent them from taking part ia the organization of tho Legislature, and thus to throw it into tho bands of the negroes, is another of tho outrages under tbu Enforcement Acts. This devil? ish prooeoding, we are Bure, is against tho spirit of the day, and not consistent with the feelings aud desire of President Grant at this time. But what cau he do? Tho weapons are in the bauds of un? scrupulous wretches, and they oannot be wrested from them. Gen. Grant will probably desire the repeal of the most objectionable part of the en force moot laws; but until Congress aots upon aud modifies them, the South is ever liable to the annoying and unconstitutional acts of ignorant and rascally Federal officials under thorn. -????'?-? Gambiti-ta.?Tho coining inau in Franco is Leon Gambotta. Ue has been once before, it is true, but there are wise beads iu Europe which say that when be ooines again, he will come to stuy. Gum betta is a Republican in theory?that is, a French Republican. Sowas General Bonaparte at the outset of bis career. So nah young Louis N. Bouaparto iu the days of Boulogne and Strasburg. They belu veil in the republic, and found, when they como to rule, that a strong government was necessary for France. Wheu Thiers dies, Gambutta will step into bis shoes. He will find the Freucb turbulent, dissatisfied, revolutionary. He is a man of nervo, und hu will put down bis iron heel. Ho will keep it down. Despotio power, once baud led, is with difficulty relinquished. France will sink into its periodical lethargic fit. There will be an Emperor Loou I iu the Tuilleries. History repeats itself.

It will bo seen that the issues made by the piendioga in luv?.coi?> aromas fellows: 1. Whether-this court has jurisdiction, the State of South Caio.ioa having insti? tuted proceedings as guarantor upon the bonds Of the respondent, and in the State court, under which all the property of the company has lieeu taken pusses sion of? 2. Whether the Groeuvilie aud Colum? bia Railroad Compuny is u corporation subject to the provirious ol tho Bank? rupt Act? 3.

Whutber the respondent has suffer? ed its property to bo taken on legal pro? cess, with intent thereby to defeat aud delay the operation of the Bankrupt Act, in tbe case of the State ex reltlione tbe Attorney-General, against tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company? As tn the first question, I hohl that whatever tho interest or lien the State may have in or upon the property of tbe said Greenville uud Columbia Railroad Company, if said company be bankrupt, thu jurisdiction of tbe bankrupt court i* uot ousted, because tbo State ts a credi? tor. As to the second question, I bold that the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, under thu Act and decisions upon the Act, is a corporation, subject to tbu pro? visions of tbe Bankrupt Act. As to the third question, I hold that tho interest coupons severed from the. bonds arc commercial paper, and if the Greeuvillo Railroad were "a baukcr, broker, merchant, trader, manufacturer or miner," tbo non-payment of its cou? pons for fourteen days would be au uct of bankruptcy; but us it doe) not (in rny opinion) fall within any ono of these olasdos, the penalty for such stoppage does not attach. As to the fourth qnettiou, (acting in? stead of a jury,) 1 have not been able to tiud tho insolvency oi the company, or deoide that it is insolvent. As to the fifth and sixth questions, not having found the Greenville and Colum? bia Railroad insolvent, it is uot necessa? ry that I should decide them. " I havo simply staged my conclusions upon thu issues presented, without argu? ing them and without reference to tbe authority upon which they rest for sup? port. Time has not permitted more.

Tiik AnntiviLUii Fire.?Speaking of tbo losses by tho late lire, the Abbeville Press and Banner say6: Among the morchnuta tho heaviest losers aro tho Messrs. BarUwell, who Mis taitied a total loss of their goods, inti? mated at $7,000 or 8^,000, but corered by iusnrauca to tho extent of 80,000. A. AI. Hill Sc Co. sustained a Iops of perhaps 81,000, a large portion of their goods being stored iu their adjacent warehouse, which escaped, and tho rest of the goods whioh were saved being transferred there. Their loss is covered by a policy of $2,500. Mr. Hill himself lost his clothing and that of his family, hotisohold furniture, und some 8;>00 in gold, which wa?* in his trunk in his bod room. His lu.ss is about 81,000, aud a very heavy one, as ho hail no insurance upon his household effects. J. D. Chulm rs & Co. estimate their loss at 81,000, having saved tho greater part of their goods. Their Kjss is covered by a policy of 81,000. Leo & Parker also saved the greater part of their goods, and estimate that their loss will not exceed 81,200 or 81 500. Their loss is covered bv it policy of 82.000. The four s'ores burnt would not ex? ceed in value 811,000. Two of them, those of Messrs. Robinson and Aiken, wure uninsured, and thu two belonging to the estate of A. A. Williams were iu snred to the umotint of 81,000. Heavy losses occurred by tho removal of goods. Wardlaw Sc Edwards estimutu thoirs nt 82,000 or 82,500; Nelson Sc Can? non, at 8100 or 8500; J. B. Sc W. J. Ro? gers, nt8500; H. W. Liwson & Co.. at 8-; McDonald & Huddon, at 8700. Somu damage wns done to Luwson's building and Wilson's block, upon whioh wo have heurd no estimate. All of these losses aro covered by insurance, except that of L-iwson's stock. No blame, it scorns, attaches to any ono of the public officers* that they were uot saved; those officers residing at some distance off, and beforo they could be reached the progress of tho flumes made their rescue impossible. The officors also lost valuable private papers. Wo are pleased to announce that tho late fire has not dampened tho ardor of onr busi? ness mcu, who have been the chief suf? ferers. Ono of tho novelties at tho American Institute, in New York, is a saw with diamond teeth. It outs its way through all opposition in rapidly siiciug a marble block into thin sheets.

OVFIOB op AxiOItNKYgeneral, 3 Colombia, S. O., November 19,1872. Ji H. Bryant, Esq, Chairman Board County Commissioners, Bichland Conn Dear Siu: I havo considered the question submitted to me a few days since iu regard to the power of the Cuuuty Commiasiouera of a Couuty to levy u tux for bigbwuy purposes id addi? tion to the full amount of the levy al? lowed by the joiut resolution of Murcb 13, 1872. Section 3-1, of the Act of September 213. 1808, entitled "An Act to de?uo tbe jurisdiction nnd powers of County Com nmsioner.*," (pngo 134, volume 14.) pro? vides that "no tax sball bo levied and collected by the County Commissioners until the name has been authorized by tho Geueral Assembly." Seotiou 2. of tbo Act of ? Murcb 9, 1871, rntitled "Au Act to provide for tho construction and repair of public highways," (page 0G7, volume 14.) au? thorizes the County Commissioners to "assess a tux of eighteen cents, if so much be necessary, ?>u every 8100 of the lists of the Couuty," for highway pur? poses. The j iint resolution of March 13, 1872. entitled "Joint Resolution author? izing aud directing the Stato Auditor aud County Commissioners to levy certain taxes," (page 203, volume 10,) author? ize thu County Commissioners of each of tho Counties to levy a tax uot exceed? ing three mills on a dollar of all tuxable propel ty in their respective Count its, except the County of Fairtleld, in which thu County Commissioners shall not levy a tax of more than one and a, hull mills, for the fiscal year, commencing November 1, 1871. Tho question growing out of tbe Statutes now quoted is, whether the j ?ml resolution of March 13, 1872. is in? tended to tix the highest limit of County taxation, so as to render tho laying of a highway tax in addition tu the limit fixed by that resolution, illegal? 1 have no lime to elaborate my views, but I am of tho opiuion that the Couuty Commissioners uro limited to three mills inclusive of tbo highway tax. in all tho Counties except Fair held, in winch County the limit is cue and one half mills. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, D. II. CHAMBERLAIN, Attorney-General, S. C. Thu Geuatkbt Bhiixib ?The greatest work in tho line of suspension bridges ever attempted iu this coutitry is the bridgo from New York to Brooklyn uoross the East lliver. It will bo sup? ported by two great towers, which bavo u height above high-water mark of 208 feet, while they rest upon foundations some eighty feet boueath high-water. Tho height of tho centre or main span of tho bridgo will be 135 feet above high water. Tbe length of tho river span will bo 1,010 feet, of each laud span 940 feet. The length of tbe New York ap? proach will be 1.411 feet, and the Brooklyn approach 911. Tho total length of tbo bridgo will be 5.878 feet. It will bo amply broad, und will have foot-ways, carriago-wnya aud a railway track, all distinct and effectually sepn rated It was begun in 1870. Tho tower on tbe Brooklyn -side has reached a height of 140 feet, that ou tbe New York side 50 feet, above tbo water. When the work will be done, the engi? neers themselves will not undertake to nay. It is conjectured flint it will be ut least four years bofore travel will com? mence npon it. It was calculated for an expense of SO,000.000, but it is uow sup? posed tbo cost will considerably exceed that sum. When this bridge is com? pleted, it will be. ono of the wonders of the cotiutry. It will make New York and Brooklyn almost one, and may real izo tbe predictions of some pcoplo that the day will come wln?n Brooklyn will Im .nrn-xed Iu Now York, aud one go? vernment will control them bolh.
