QaSfffVA, February 10.?'Iba. Grand Council has decided against the complete separation ot Church and State. London, February 10.?Tho following. despatch was received here by the Bea? ter Telegraph Company. It is marked "Urgent," and was not delayed by oen aor at Madrid; it la therefore believed to have some foundation: Maputo, February 10.?His Majesty King Amadeas manifeste a disposition to abdicate the crown; in whioh case, he will resign his power into the hands ol the Oortos. Madrid is quiot. The (hrrtspondtneia, in its issue to? day K announces the probability that the session of the Oortos will be suspended for a few days,, and upon re assembling, the proposition from King Amadeus to abdicate the throne will be read iu Con? gress. An effort will probably be made to dissaade the King from carrying out his purposes. Should he persist, a spe? cial law willlbe passed, electing a Regent and Gabiuet. Other Madrid journals state that if the King should resign the crown, tbe present authorities will re? main id office to. watch the oourse of events; and it is believed all questions arising out of the abdication will be set? tled according to the Constitution, and without any disturbance. A Cabinet oonnoil was held last night, after whioh Benor Martos, Minister of Foreign Af? fairs, Senor Beoorra, Minister of the In? terior, and Senor Eohegaary, Minister of - Provinoe, had a conference with Senor Bivero, President of Congress. A conference alB? took place between Senor Corbods, 'Minister of War, and the prinoipal military officers in Madrid. A large meeting of conservatives was held last night. Bauds of Carlisle have made their ap? pearance in the Provinoe of Toledo. The Senate, by a vote of 59 against 6, passed a motion - of conference fn the ministry on the question of ,its oourse towards the artillery, with regard to the recent demonstrations of insubordination in that branoh of the army. The Go? vernment has created an ordnance depot. Tho bill for the abolition of slavery in the island of Porto Biao will be taken up in Congress, to-day for dieoussion. The Bnow storm whioh prevailed here, yesterday, also extended throughout the Northern provinces, where the fall was very heavy. The Paris Bicn Public says that a compromise has been effected between President Thiers and the Oommitteoof Thirty. The latter agree to modify their constitutional project by extend-' ing the veto power of the executive so as to allow the President to suspend the operation of a law by his veto after its passage by the Assembly, and also by giving the President the right to partici? pate personally in debate in the Cham? ber, on interpellation and all the questions of general polioy. The legiti? mists and clerical journals are indignant at the oonoession of such uncontrolled powers, as they term them, to the execu? tive. The deputies belonging to the conservative and moderate sections of the left in the Assembly refuse to sign their names to the address of sympathy to Gen. Garibaldi, adopted at tbe lost meeting of the extreme left. The editor of a Posen newspaper has been sentenoed to four months' impri? sonment, for publishing an artiole en? titled "The Battle with God's Church." AuttrltAii Batters. CuATtiiKSTON, Febraary 10.?Arrived? Steamships Merc edits, Boston; South Carolina, New: York. Topxka, February 9.? Senator York, before the Legislative Committee, reite? rates the statement that Senator Pome roy paid him $7,000 for his vote. It was a scheme to catch Pomeroy. Ingal Is, Pdmeroy's successor in tho Federal Senate, knew nothing of the trap for Pomeroy. PrrranuBO, February 9.?An adjourn od meeting of the survivors of the Mexi? can war was held this evening, and a memorial to Congress was approved, which sets forth that almost a genera? tion has now passed since the conquer? ing column dictated an honorable peace with Mexico, and bnt few of the men who participated are left to ask bounty of the Government. That in view of the benefit derived by the nation through the acquisition of California and New Mexioo, they ask Congress to grant a pension commensurate with the results, springing from their services and aohievements; that es these provinces were acquired from Mexioo for the Bum of $50,000,000, added to the cost of the war, and this heritage was fought for by private soldiers for no von dollars per month, they appeal to Congress to re? member them in their declining years. Washington, Febraary 9.?The rule in counting the votes of the electoral colleges in joint convention of Congress is, that upon objeotion to any vote, the Senate shall repair to its chamber, and each House shall consider the question. Unless the House oonour, the vote shall not bo counted. It is under this rule that the vote of Louisiana will probably be thrown out. Some important movoments of troops will soon be ordered by the War Depart? ment, the effect of whioh will be to take from the States of Kentuoky, North and South Carolina, AlAbama and Tennessee, and the greater portion of the United States, military forces stationed in those States, and to locate them at other points where the interests of the Government may require their preBonoe. It is learned that there are no troops now under or? ders for service in Utah, and it does not appear that the department immediately contemplates sendingjthe army any addi? tion to the forces of tbe Governmont al? ready serving in proximity to the Mor? mon country, A regiment will soon be stationed along the Rio Grande, on ac? count of the troubles in that section. In other parts of the South, they will be gradually withdrawn. It is believed that nearly all of the Ku Kluse prisoners who are confined in pri.?ut winrbe t>tttddne? within a very abort time, and particularly those of the more ignorant'class convicted far orimes of that character. The Government will, however, pro sec u to vigorously all now instances of Ku KlUX proscoution, and should additional oases arise, the Executive and Department of Justice would regard with great disfavor all ap? peals for mercy or lenienoy. Ottowat, February 10.?The Pacific Railway charter has been duly signed. ~N*w Yobx, February 10.?Folly 30,000 persona honored the remains of Dr. Starrs, yesterday, with a last look. Last night was the oddest of' the sea-1 son. , The German journeymen, at a meet? ing, last night, took preliminary steps for an eight hear strike. The movement' embraces nearly all branches of work- ? mep, The appropriation of 94,000,000 for the Post Office building being exhausted, the work has been stopped. Colonel Augnere stated, at bis recep? tion,, yesterday, that, he had a Bhip and arms ready for Cuba. The point of de? parture was not stated. The funeral ceremonies of the late Vicar-General Starrs took place to-day, at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The church wan draped iu black, and was crowded to almost suffocation. A Pontifical high mass was celebrated by Archbishop McCloaky, and the funeral oration was preached by Bishop Laughlin, of Brook? lyn. Cincinnati, February 10.?The tow boat Petrel, it is reported, struck a log. The captain swam ashore, but was chilled to death; seven'others were lost. Washington, February 10.?The Com? mittee on Privileges and Elections have made a report as foreshadowed regard? ing the olootoral vote of Louisiana. It contains condensed statements of the facts elicited. Morton and Tram bull each present an addenda; but they are merely different views of courts. Oni(jack), February 10.?Henry W. Biglow, a well known wealthy man, com? mitted suicide. Probabilities?The low barometer over Wisconsin will move Eastward into Ca? nada, accompanied by brisk and high winds; from the Ohio Valley to the upper lakes and North-west, on Tuesday, fresh and brisk and probably high West? erly to Northerly winds; falling tempera? ture and clear and clearing weather, ac? companied by probably areas of light snow over the upper lake region. For the Middle States, fresh and brisk winds, Increasing possibly to high, -over tho lower lake region, and gradually veering to Southerly and Westerly; rising tem? perature and cloudy weather. For the South Atlantic States, fresh Southerly to Westerly winds, and generally cloudy weather. For the Golf States, East of the Mississippi, winds veering to Sonth erly and Westerly; cloudy weather and possibly areas of light rain. Tho President bos approved the bill ?for eight war sloops. The senatorial caucus to-day showed an indisposition for an extra session. A committee was appointed to arrange the order of busi? ness. In the Senate, a bill making appro? priation for public buildings in Pakers burg, W. Va, passed. Machen was seated as successor to Garrett Davis. A bill extending the Southern Claims Com? mission to 1876, passed. Other amend? ments were offered, when the matter went over. The distribution of the Ala? bama award was. resumed and passed. In the House, a large number of bills were introduced and referred. The bill increasing the salary of tho President and other officers was lost?yeas 81; nays 119.

Cotton closed dull?uplands 9%; Orleans Immense Lobby Schrubb.?Washing? ton correspondents of tbe New York pa? pers have conpled with tho cotton tax refunding scheme a report thet a move? ment is on foot among the lobby at the Capitol to get the Goneral Government to assume the debts of tho Southern States, since the reconstruction laws I took effect. A correspondent of the Sun ! says: These two schemes?the assumption by the General Government of the car pot-bag debts of the Southern States and the retunding of tbe ootton tax?involve over $200,000,000. The former, of course, is boing pushed, not by the Southern people, bat by Northern capi? talists, who have invested in the bonds issued by tbe carpet-bag governments of tbe Southern States. The most of these, it will be remembered, sold away below par; some of them at only a few cents on the dollar. If the holders of them can procure the legislation they de-ire?mak? ing the General Government responsible for the payment of these seourities?it, of course, will at once send them up above par, for tbo most of them bear ex? orbitant rates of interest. An estimate made by the Postmaster \ General shows that during the laut year there were acut through the mails 800,-! 000,000 of copies of daily newspapers, 600,000,000 of weeklies, and 100,009,001) of monthlies and other publications. The aggregate is 1,500,000,000 copies, upon whioh tho legal postage collectable amounted to $2,292,307. The depart? ment, however, only got B985.940, so that over $1,250,009 was either not col? lectable or lost iu seme unexplained way. Tho printed matter, which thus returnod less than $1,000.000 weighed more than twenty times the aggregate letter mails transmitted during tbe year, although the lutter paid nearly $19,500, 000. Tnn Tuoora in the SouTn Ordered to Utah.?We are informed in a tele? gram from Washington that the Presi? dent has ordered the United States troops now in tbo South to hold them? selves iu readiness to move out to tbe plains, near Salt Lake City. This will be truly a move in the ri^ht direction. Tbe civil power in Utah being unable to ' enforoo obedience to tbe laws, it is time that tbe military were oalled to its aid. All Mormondom will, doubtless, cry aloud, and wax wroth at this decisive actiou of the President, but the saints may take comfort in the reflection that i their grief will bo spared by tbe carpet? baggers, who will now havo to staud alono among tbe reconstructed chivalry. [Neu) York Herald. Murder in Edoefield.?A citizen of Edgetlold who arrived in town to-day, states that B. 0. Cloary, a white, oilizon, living at Colemans Cross Bonds, in Edge lie Id Couuty, visited the County seat to pay his taxes. While there, ho became intoxicated and visited Clisby's drag store. It is also statod that a dif? ficulty arising between Clisby and him? self, tbo former picked op a weight and threw at Cleary, who went for him with n knife, when Clisby pioked up a two-pound weight and broke in his skull. Cleary is not expeotod to reoovor. [Evening Herald. Death ov Francis Warden.?Franois Warden, aged sixty-seven years, died in Paris, Frauoe, January 23d. Mr. War? den was for thirty years tbo partner of A. T. Stewart, of New York, residing in Paris and purchasing for the firm. Mr. Warden commenced business in Boston, but failed in 1837, and was recommend? ed to Mr. Stewart as a salesman. Iiis ability soon obtained for bim a partner? ship in tho house, and he was Bent to Europe to do the purohasiug for it. Ho leaves a fortune estimated at $10,000, 000. His wife died just three days pre? vious to his death. A firmer in Olrastead Connty, Minn., reports that the hoov drifted from the prairie, burying a belt of willows that Hurrounded bis boase aud stables. These willows are from fifteen to twenty feet bigb. It accumulated in his yard and on the buildings to suoh an extent as to cover his stables', he says, to the depth [ of fifteen' feet. His honse was not bnried so deeply. It took him forty eight hours to reach his horses, whioh were in the, stables* and he did it by tunneling under this drift to the stable Jwr. He found in a stock all right and comfortable, but anxious for fodder. We are told of the death of an Ameri? can, named Roberts, in London, leaving a fortune of $900,000. When his father set him up in the second-hand clothing business, in whioh he mado his money, he was advised by that father "never to let bis expenses exceed 8s. 6d. per week." He adhered to the advice, and ono of his last struggles was an attempt in his seventy-second year to live on a diet of horse oheetnuts. It was a fail? ure, and he went to join his revered an? cestor in a place where the weekly ex? penses are still less. Inquest.?The Aiken Journal gives an acoount of an inquest held by Coroner F. L. Walker, in Windsor township, Hatchway Dam, on Tuesday last, on the body of the infant ef Martha Turner, oolored. The verdict was that the ohild came to its.death from wounds inflioted by an unknown person. A colored man named Cain Turner was arrested, but discharged by Trial Justice Hall, the evidence against him being insufficient. There is a gleam of light in the Louisi? ana poUtical ohaos. It is thought that enough candidates for the Legislature to form a constitutional quorum have re? ceived the endorsement of both return? ing boards. If this is the fact, a solu? tion of the difficulty is possible. The organization of such a quorum of the State Legislature would give a certain nuoleuB around which a State Govern? ment worthy the name might form. Removal of Obstructions at Choroh Flats.?The Beaufort Republican says Gen. Gilmore haa removed the obstruc? tions at Church Flats, whioh have here? tofore impeded the navigation of the in? side route from Charleston to St. Helena. He took out 500 tons of live oak logs and many piles. Any vessel whioh oan get throngh Wupoo can now come over Church Flats. There reoontly died in London a newapaper reporter who had devoted himself for thirty years to the single de? partment of writing up fires. Let us hope thut he has gone to a world where there are no fires to write up. However, in that case we can't imagine What the poor fellow is to do for employment. Mr. Thomas R. Dorsey, a well-known and much respeoted merchant of Balti? more, was drowned some time during Wednesday night, having fallen into the water at the foot of Frederick street. His body was found floating in* the dock early Friday morning. The verdiot of tho coroner's jury, in the case of Thomas P. Rose, of Lewis ville, Orangeburg County, was that he came to his death, on Friday night last, from congestion of tho brain and lungs, superinduced by the too frequent use of malt liquors. A Mr. Olapp, of Guilf?rd County, N. 0., was soen to eat one dozen hard boiled eggs, then sucked forty-four, and then bet three dollars ho oould suok forty moro, and twenty more were given and he shelled them on top of the doBe. Tho two-and-a-balf-etory wooden re? sidence at the corner of Smith andBeau fain streets, Charleston, occupied by Mr. Job Dawson and family, was partially destroyed by fire on Sunday morning. Fully insured. Senator Sawyer.?Tho New York Telegram, of the 6th inst., says: "Rumor has it that there is somo pro { bability that Senator Sawyer, of South Carolina, will bo called into President Grant's Cabinet." The ladies of Belleville, III., have can? vassed their town and alleviated all cases of suffering they could. They were obliged to marry off thirteen disconso? late old bachelors beforo their task was completed. The difference between defaulting re? venue oollcotors in Tunis and in this country, according to tho Louisville Cou? rier-Journal, is, that in Tunis they aro impaled on stakes, whilo hero they usu? ally walk off with the stakes. The bodies of two of the colored wo? men, Silvia Dawson and Flora Toomer, who were drowned in Cooper River, opposite tho Hagau plantation, n short timo ago, havo been recovered. I Governor Dix has granted a respito of j a week in tho case of Gaffnoy, sentenced {to bo hanged, iu order that physicians I may examine into his mental oondition. Ho is thought to bo insane. The South Carolina A. M. E. Confer? ence oouvened in the Court House in Georgetown, last week, Rev. R. H. Gain presiding. A pair of devoted lovers, broken out with small-pox, walked fifteen miles to a pest-house, in Trenton, Wis., tho other day. Tho Governor of Floiida advises the abolition of the jury system, aud the adoption of a better method of providing for idiots. <S?A promising young mau, Alouzo L. Adams, while deliriour, threw himself from the porch of a house in Raleigh, N. 0., on Thursday, and was killed. "Tho man that murdered Horace Grooloy," is the cheerful style in which a Montana paper alludes to tho Harpers' disreputable artist, N?st. At Greonock, on the West coast of Scotland, it rained last year on '252 days out of the 3G5. A lever lock used at Sing-Sing prison was invented by ono of tho convicts. A Wisconsin father shot tho school? mistress for whipping his son. There is no scheme on the public I treasury too bold; fOld the latest is to in? duce Oohgress to assume the debts of I the Southern carpet-bag governments. This involves only a matter of $125,000, 000 or so; but it is gravely talked of in1 Washington as being a magnanimous thing to do. We are not so certain whether this astonishing '. effrontery is expected to win at last? or only to "bull" Georgia bonds and the like How. . INeuy York Tribune. . Aiimy APiMiopQiATIOK B'rr, __On Fri? day last, the army appropriation bill Was reported in Congress from the Com? mittee on Appropriations. It appro? priates 930,000,000. Among the items of the bill which will probably bo adopt od is $60,000 for Gatling guns, the pur-1 ohase of fifty of which is recommended by Colonel Bouot, of the Ordnance Der partment. A pleasing little instance of luxurious pauperism is furnished by a family in Norwalk, Conn. It consists of five per? sons, who together spend $8 50 per week for opium, and apply to the town au? thorities for coal and bread and butter. The most economical way would be for the town to vote thiB beautiful family opium enough to kill off the whole in teresting circle.

Maine druggists are complaining of the remarkably mainn oondnot of a Deputy United States Marshal, who goes about incog, with a lame horse.for which he begs a little alaohol, and then extorts $120 as a bribe not to prosecute the apothecary for keeping liquor without a license One of the late disgusting sights of Salem, Ind., was a woman wheeling her drunken husband home on a wheelbar? row. In answer to a sympathizing re? mark, she said he happened to be drunk? er than she was, and she was thankful tot I be able to take care of him, for she knew he would do the same for her. Every body (says the Tallahassee Ftoridian) \b going in heavy on cotton; planters are getting large advances; nearly every laborer's crop is mortgaged in advance, and if the oaterpillar should oome, prepare for general bankruptcy.
