Sunday Morning, December 7,,1873. The Senate and tns H?port?>r or tu.? The notion of the Senate, in the adoption of a reaolutiou which debars the reporter Of the Charleston News and Courier from the privilege of a seat at the reporters'' desk, until a written apology should bo made for the indig? nity which was done it, in atating in his correspondence of last Thursday, that the bill to prevent unjust diBorimiuution by railroad oompanies, was intended as a black-mailing operation, is a matter upon which we do not oare to comment. Tho Turther action taken, yesterday, de? mands some-notice at onr bauds. This we shall take as a nootral, and without communication with any of the parties named. In taking it, we shall not con? sider either the News.Un correspondent, Mr. Dunn, (who introdaoad both the bill whioh provokod the oommant and the resolution of odusure,) or the Senate it? self, in any other than a public light. It interest* as as presenting a question whioh concerns tho rights of individuals, the liberty of the press, and the privi? leges of a legislative -body. The re? porter of the News, npon being made aware of the Bense of injury whioh was folt by Mr. Dunn, and of the action of the Senate, promptly addressed to tho former gentleman a letter, in whioh 'he avowed hie regret for his language, and admitted that it wag hasty, and uttered npon imperfeot information. Ho de? sired it to be received by Mr. Dunn as an apology to himself, as the maiu ob? ject of the grievance, and throngh him to the Senate. This, we think, mat the demands of propriety and justice, and literally answered tho requirements of the resolution of censure. It was "a written apology," and it made all the required reparation, expressed, it seems to us, in langaago to whioh no excep? tion oan be justly takou. It has been objected to it, that it was meant for Mr. Dann, and not for the Senate. But it is distinctly tendered as atonement to him, and through him to the Senate. It was eminently appropriate that Mr. Dann should be not only its recipient in bis own person, bat the channel through whioh it should pass to the body. He introduced the bill which was stigmatised as "intended as a black mailing operation," he offered the reso? lution'of censure, and he was the per? son who had the right to complain. When explanations and satisfaction were made to him, therefore, they were made to the body of whioh he is a member. This would have been the proper con? struction of an apology, if made to him alone. Bat its author, in express terms, tendered it to him, aod throngh him to the Senate. In going further, and saying that he appreciated M^r. Dunn as in sympathy with the people of the State, tiie re? porter was guilty of no impropriety, and cannot iu fairness be oonsidered as reflecting upon the Senate. Io debate, yesterday, several members professed to diaoorn in these expressions a covert satire upon that boJy. But Mr. Dunn is a Republican in good standing in his party. He fully vindicated for himself Ibis position in the oourse of the discus lion yesterday, although, in common n-ith Mr. Jervey and some other Sena :ors, he sustained the bolters in the lust State election. 'Certainly it ought not to be interpreted as derogatory to any onb else, ot to anybody, that Mr. Dunn is complimented as being in sympathy with the people. If there is satire iu that, if it implies ceusure on any oue else, it is not because it is uttered mere? ly. Finally, in indicating to Mr. Dunu, nt the close of the letter of explanation, that he might have it spread on the journal, the News reporter exhibited, we think, a ?tili further spirit of conci? liation. It looks as if it wtta in responso to the demands of the Senate. But by it ft action, yesterday, tho Senate re? turned the letter to Mr. Dunn as un? satisfactory. Tho grounds Btated for this notion were in general those which we have oombutted a9 insufficient for it to stand upon. The apology was promptly made, was explicit and was properly dirooted to Mr. Daun, us the medium through whioh it would reaoh the Senate and bo sproad upon its jour? nals. It fully' mot the proprieties of the occasion. It was a frank withdrawal of everything whioh trenchod upon the privileges either of Mr. Daun or of tho Senate. If tho reporter committed the first wrong, it is the Sjnato itself whioh has committed the second. If it was right to hold him responsible for an abuse of the liberty of frco speech and of a free press, it is in error, and shows bad temper in not accepting, with equal frankness, the satisfaction offered. It is he now who has a right to complain. Whatever may bo thought of the re fiil-i ?? Uli ?WW Ii Uli Diun lhl Senate wm bound in honor to aojttpt 'the oli?e branch. :T*-? We cannot ?Jose -without expressing the oonviotlojiT tha? some. Benatori greatly oTer r?s and JJave largely o^efc stated the immense favor whioh it oou fers in allowing tho press to report ita proceedings. The public, which they represent, and whose ssrvants they are, have a right to know what they do and say. Newspapers, whioh are the chan? nels through whioh they receive this in? formation, have a right to send their representatives to oollect it for them. It is no f?vor conferred by the body itself. It is a right and a privilege which they will flod it dangerous to disregard. "All persons," says the Constitution of South Carolina, "may freely speak, write and publish their sentiments on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that right." - 4 -? ? A Lcmob Worth, Learning. A Georgia exchange mentions that the direot and incidental annual ex? penses of. the Georgia Legislature amount to about $150,000. It is pro? posed, by way of reducing this sum one half, to amend the Constitution so as to have biennial, instead of annual, ses? sions. It i? shown that in twenty years $3,000,000 wonld thus be saved to the State. It is proposed, also, in addition to this measnre of economy, to seouro a constitutional inhibition of State aid to railways and works of internal improve? ment, and ugaiast city aud Oouuty sub? scriptions to such works beyond a cer? tain per centsge of the taxable properly, and thus save many millious more. Our Gooerul Assembly, which em? ploys itself mainly in squandering the people's money, our Administration officials, who have succeeded iu stifling all the public institutions, destroying tho credit of the State and running up its indebtedness, may here read a lesson which they very much need. Where is the Bepublioau who will inaugurate a system of economy iu every department of the State Government, reduoiug ex? penses and appropriations to at least the figure thoy amount to iu Georgia? a State of twioe the population aud re? sources of South Carolina? We have heard often of economy and reform, bat no one has appeared as its earnest advo? cate, or with a soheme to carry it out honestly. m ? # ? Secure Laborers. By private advices, we learn that Bev. Mr. Neumann has been well received in Newberry, and his mission, in the inte? rest of introducing immigrants into the I State, is likely to prove a decided suc? cess. Under his advice, a considerable number of German families have set? tled, during the last year, iu Newberry County. These he paid visits to on Friday aud Saturday, and met some of tho granges in their sessions. He will remain in Newberry until after Monday. He has been urgently invited to attend the meeting of the County granges on that day, and has consented to do bo. Italian as well as German immigrants are seeking to establish themselves in this State. Two colonies of them are in a fair way of being settled in Spartan burg County. Mr. Zilio, a member of the Italian Emigration Labor Exchange, we learn from tho AT?ics, will orrive in Charleston in a few days, to Stake ar? rangements for an additional number of Italians. Mr. Ntuui mu is also anxious to find woik and homes for several hun? dred. It is just the time tu muku 1 ihor contractu. Those who want labor cau get it. The opportunity is tho besf we have ever kuowu to bo presented. -? -????-?? A RliVKL.VTlON or tub Moox,?Tho great "moon hoax" of 1832, by Locke, is still remembered by tho "oldest iu habitauts." Now a French astronomer would have us believe that wo are on the eve of great physical discoveries iu tho same region. This savun asserts that tho moou is iuhabited. and would have hin assertion believed on tho strongth of certain combinations of the telescope recently invented by him. Ho describes tho lunar peoplo us look? ing "like flies walking on tho ceiling, for only the orowus of their heads were visible, tho moon being in tho full." In view of the fact that people uro still liv? ing who remember tho moon hoax of forty three years ago, tho inventor of this talo will not find it easy to get be? lievers. -??? <- - Lebanon Bidge, Ky., was tho crone of a remarkable duel about tho middle of last month. Montgomery U inch ac? cidentally shot and wounded a dog be? longing to his ooasin, James Bouch. Ou the following day, James announced that ho intended to kill Montgomery on sight. The parties mot, James with a pistol, Montgomery with a Bhot-gun and pistol. Montgomery discharged the shot-gun and fled. James pursuing, and firing as he ran.

Bonos: Tha ?r^lj^l J^^j^ den, ?filrgod '^t^^^fitter, of VoerUiniDg1 ,tUo wants ot South Ca? rolina in the matter of immigration, is an event of. great 'momoot to the -white people of South O?roliua, and is, we think, as you woll said, "of God't$ or? dering," fdr In itf w'e rnj?>!<?? hope that the stur of our redemption has arisen in the Eastern horizon and is shedding gleams of light, which are bright and clear to the dullest vision. The white people certainly will not allow this opportunity to piss uuitn proved. Immigration wo want and must have; otherwise, we shall be for? ever undone be fore the lapse of teu years?oarpet-baggera and sctlawags in? cluded?ho far as the government of South Carolina is concerned. We need not tell tho white peopie whither we aro j drifting under the present majority rule. ; Our doom is boing fixed as fast ub the I wheels of time roll us on, and o?n only be averted by placing a sufficieut num? ber of white men in eaoh Couuty to out? number the blacks, so as to place tbe government of South Carolina iu good, honest hands. We aro plain, aud we speak plain. It has come to this, aud we had as well face the musio. Immigration is the only peacebla means by which we can be saved, und whilo the whites own moro than half the lands of the State, it is iu their power to secure this immigration; but so soou as tbe blacks own nior? tban half tbe lauds, tho opportunity or power to save ourselves will bo gone forovtr. Tuu venality of tbe Legislature and Govern ment, sicco the adveut of the famous Scott, has known uo bounds, und the extra session just closed has completely covered itself with shuino and iufamy; aud dooB any one hope for any changes for tbe bolter, ho long hb the present complexion remaius, as it docs, so largely in tho majority? Wo answer no. Mr. liuiuoy said they like to lay on tho taxes, ho as to make lund cheap; aud'they will eventually tnuku it so cheap that tho white mun will lose nil his lund for taxes, and which will be taken possession of by tho black mun. Wo say, tbeu, white people of South Carolina, organize an immigration society at once in each County of the Stale; run oil all your Bparo lauds (winch is immense iu some sections nf the State) into fifty acre tracts, aud offer them to good immigrants on easy and accommodating terms. Say to Rev. Mr. Neumann that we desire anfl sorely need at least 100,000 more population and to send them ou, and, if needs bo, let us furnish money and means to help them ou hero. Merchants and all pro? fessional men, organize- at ooce. Your aid and influence is greatly iu need in this tbe opportune hour of your State's deliverance. Yon, as a general thing, and justly so, too, are regarded as honor? able and intelligent men, and your power and influence is almost unlimited, and, if necessary, take the iniatory step in this great work of redemption. It is you thut ought to first see the dangers ahead, aud it is you that should warn those Ichh informed and invite them to unite with you for youra and their re lief; and last named, but first in impor? tance, we invite every newspaper man in the State, who desiros our redemp? tion, to do his utmost to bring this great subject before the people iu its true light. This is a mailer of life and death with us. WHITE MAN. Acts Passed by lite Legislature. ! AN ACT TO make AlTROrRIATION FOR tue taymknt OF EXPENSES OF FRINTINO. Section 1.
