? Ii i ? m iTu?Aifaii i mp^-f-'rJ-"i J" ' ? COLUMJ3IA, S..C. Sanday Morning, Jannary 18,1874. Tho President Tnrns OrnrBNew L,e?r. In an article of the Constitution of the State of Texas it is provided that "all elections for State? Distriot and County officers shall be held at the County seats of the several Counties until otherwise provided by law, and the polls shall be opened for four days, from, 8 o'clock A. M. until 4 o'clock P. M. of eaoh day." The Legislature, at its session in January, 1878, passed an election law, whioh changed the places where they were to be held back to the old precinct cystem, and reduced the time from four days to one day. It is made a question whether the clause in the Constitution, "nniii otherwise pro? vided by law," Can be fairly interpreted to justify a change in the time within whioh elections are to be held, as well as to the places where they are to be held. Tho new law expressly repealed the old law, and there is no doubt of its constitutionality iu this respeot. There is, therefore, no eleotiou law iu exist? ence but that passed iu January, 1873. It was acquiesced in by all parties iu the State, and the Governor (Davit?) ap? proved of it without a murmur. The general elections were held under it last December, and resulted, by 50,000 ma? jority, in favor of the Conservatives. Davis suddenly saw a now light. The election law was branded with being un? constitutional, and a fictitious case was made up to tost the question in the Texai Supreme Court. The court, of oourse, ruled against the law, and has attempted to set aside the results cf the recent eleotiou. It is thus attempted, by legal machinery, to defeat the dearly expressed judgment of tho peoplo at the pells, and to continue in office, for another two years, those who have failed to command the suffrages of the people. Taking a hint from the action of the President aud the Attorney-General, in the similar oase of Louisiana, Davis, a few days ago, telegraphed to the Presi? dent, asking the use of troops to pre? vent apprehended violence. The Pre? sident replied that the call could not be granted, and intimated, farther, that, as he (Davis) had approved the election law, and both parties hod made nomina? tions, and conducted a politioal canvass nnder its provisions, it would bo only prudent and right to yield to the verdict of the people, '? It appears that Davis has seen fit to disregard this wholesome advice, and* has issued a proclamation, forbidding those who have been elaoted as legislators or for other offices io assume | the positions they claim. Not? withstanding, the House and Senate met in joint session on Wednesday last, and, upon oount of tho vote, declared Coke elected Governor, and Hubbard Li cut en ant-Governor. The oath of office was duly administered, and the Governor delivered his inaugural ad? dress. Davis had his men armed with muskots and bayonets fixed, standing at the base of the oapitol, to prevent in? gress and egress of members. The United States Marshal telegraphed to Washington that a conflict teems in? evitable. In reply, the Attorney-Gene? ral limits him to the exercise of a merely moral iufluonoe. Davis again asks for military assistance, but in reply it is stated that "the policy of tho Go? vernment, in this regard, has not changed since the telegram of President Grant to Davis a few days ago." These facts we have thought it neoossary and proper to present in their order. We have not usually taken a favorable view of the pnblio oondaot of President Grant. Ha has appeared to us lo bo arbitrary in his appointments aud gene? ral policy. He bus been too prone to indulge the predilections of the cliques about him. But we know that ho has generous impulses, from his oondaot at Appomattox. We kuow that, when un? obstructed, he is capable of justice. His report upon tho condition and feel? ing of the people of the Southern States soon after the war, was fair aud unexceptionable. The old iutitiuots seem to be stirring in him again. Tho protraoted agony, the undeserved suffering of the people of the South under carpet-bag governments, the ter? rible spoliation aud misrule to whioh they have been anbjeotod, silent bat powerful pleaders, have at last reached his oars. Tho course of elections in tho North-west, the change wbioh is assert? ing itself iu tho power and relations of the politioal parties of the country, tho rise and spread of the granges, the ton deuoy of pnblio opinion to maintain the equality of States, and the re-establish? ment of their full rights as opposed to centralization, have not apparently been lost upon the President. Ho has re? fused to interfere in Texas, akhough he had us much right to do so us ho did in ? Louisiana. But thu public opinion and j strength of party influence whioh im* polled and sustained him in the one ease do not encourage him to repeat his interference in tbe other. \ In fact, eevoral BepOblioan journals commend his refueal to uphold tbo attempt of 2>s7is to seize the State of Texas.' We are pleased to have the opportu? nity of acknowledging the discretion aud firmness of the President in tbo present emergenoy. He plainly sees the line of justice and right, and pro? poses to tread it fearlessly. Whatever they may think of other acts oi his, all good men must approve of this. It is a favorable sign in the political heavens. It is the way, as the Montgomery Ad? vertiser says, "to establish reconciliation and peaoe on a basis of law, right and reason, and to renew a fooling oi honest American nationality." The people of the South, who havo so long boon under the heel of tho party which placed Gen. Grant iu power, hail with satisfaction every indioatiou which looks to a resto? ration of good fooling between the sec? tions, and of justice to thomselves. They aro willing to stand upon the Vir? ginia platform, and are ready to give candid consideration to the measures of the Administration, and cordial support to such as meet their approval. Oar position in this State is peculiar. We need friends abroad to help us to throw off tho shackles of a vulgar and hateful tyranny at homo. We shall show the world that we are systematically de? nied, through causes which we are pow? erless to remove, a republican form of government. When our mure recent history is folly knqwo, when our caso oomes fairly up for the consideration of the American people and the National Government, we aro confident that there must be a change of feeling and policy whioh will eventually operste in tbo direction of our relief. We take hope from tho manly stand of the Pre? sident on the side of the people of Texas. - Public Meeting. A publio meeting of tho citizens of Eichland County will be held in the Con-t House, at Columbia, on the first Monday in February, to oleot delegates to tho State Tax-Payers' Convention, to be held in Columbia oa the 17th oi Februar v. A fall attend inco is re? quested, john McKenzie, Chairman of Adjourned Meeting. A. C. Moore, Scoretary. Trio Entertainment for tUe Monument. Ere many months elapse, the Colum? bians will beheld in their midst a monu? ment thun which thero will bo none j superior in South Carolina. It will, we hope, be worthy to keep in reniem brauca the courage- and the sacrifices of those who, "being dead, yet speak" to us of heroic eudnranco and unselfish love of country. Tho monument is begun. Tho granite work is nearly completed. Women of South Carolina, remember the noble dead, and help us to havo their virtues "graveu with an iron pen in the rock forever." None need withhold their aid, fearing that tbe design will not be carried out. Our honor is pledged. Columbians, sustain us in our cflmt, aud give us to? morrow your presonco and approval. CONSTANCY.

Sho was designed and modelod in 1789, but tho Govercmout appropriations gave oat before tbo work was completed, when a low Tidies of Boston determined to raise tho money to comploto her, whioh they did, aud Mr. Hartt, tho grand-father of the present naval con? structor, (who is to rebuild her on this occasion.) was delegated to finish and equip her. It ia stated that the Constitu? tion was regarded as the fastet t sailer over known in tho navy, and perhaps the easiest worker generally. Tho firat cruise of tho Constitution was mado in 1798.

OovmotxV Ohahbsb, Columbia, January 16, 1871. Priosettt?Hla "Honor tho Mayor; Al? dermen Carpenter, Lowndes, Mitchell, Carroll, Yoang, Taylor, Cnrr sod Griffin. Abseht?Aldermen Thompson, Cooper, H?ge and Williams. The Mayor stated that he had called the meetiog to hear the report of the Finance Committee oo matters referred to them. Alderman Carpenter stated that be had not' consulted the balance of the committee on the subject of lighting the city with the naphtba, but gave bis own views. He said the eity has re? cently entered into contract with a geu-1 tlemau in this city to supply 250 street lauteren, to be erected upon tbo public streets, for the purposo of lighting tho same. The original iutention was to light tho Fame with the common oil lump. The oil can be supplied to tho city at the rato of about thirty cents per gallon for a good quality; but ouo of tho chief objections to the use of tho ordinary oil lump is tho constant break? age of chimneys. Lamp lighters are not particularly uoted for can; and at? tention in the management of public lamps, and so long as the pay for broken lamps aud chimneys docs not come from their pockets, it is a matter of but small moment to them how many are brokeu. Nor is tho breakage to be attributed solely to those who light aud manage tho lamps. It is not au unusual occurreuc, upon stormy nights, to havu as many as twenty, or even fifty, chimneys broken out of two or threo hundred lamps. A single drop of rain is suffioieut to break even the most cxpousive lamp shades. Our lanterns are not constructed eo as to exclude rain, fur the damago may bu doue even while tho lump-lighter is at work lighting his lamp. Another item of expense is tho lighting and extin? guishing of lamps. It has been esti? mated that a quick-moving inun can light forty lamps of the kind now under consideration in the space of two hours, and can extinguish the same in about two-thirds of that time. This would necessitate the employment of at least seven or eight men constantly, for the lampi must be kept cleaned aud filled, and one man could hardly perform more labor por day than to fill and keep clean forty oil lamps, situated, as they would be, a long distauco apart. The patent naphtha burner is expen? sive in the outset, but is cheaper m the end. The whole burner und reservoir for supplying tho burner with gas oau be affixed to the lanterns which the con? tractor has engaged to supply, ut a cost of 810 per lautem. The nuphtha costs ten cents per gallon, or about o?o-third as much as oil, and the flame is equal to that of the very best ooal gas, or more than equal to two crdiuary coal oil lamps. Tho expouse of attending to these lamps is less than that of oil, for the reason that there are no chimneys or lamps to clean?only tho reservoirs to fill euch day. The expense for light iug the lamps would also bo cheaper, for it requires no extinguishing ut all. The lamp burns for eight hours or more, and then extinguishes itself. The city would doubtless save money in the end by using the naphtha lamp, and he recom? mended that tho requisite number to supply 2?0 lanterns be purchased. A motiou by A:dorman Carroll, that the oity purchase from the Globe Gas Light Company, of Bostou, 200 burn? ers and tanks, to be attached to the lan? terns already contracted for, was, on being put to a vote, adopted. Alderman C .rpenter, from the Com? mittee on Ways and Means, also made tho following report ou the petition of 8. Sheridan for payment of his cluims ugaiust tho police force, which, after re? ceiving a statement from the City Trea? surer, tho Council adopted: Tho committee has carefully investi? gated tho matter referred to in tho peti? tion of Mr. Sheridan, and find that the fault does not lie wholly with the City Treasurer. It appears lhat the peti? tioner ban been in tho habit of taking orders from tho police officers, in anti? cipation Gl their monthly pay; und, in many instances, has been given a power of attorney by said officer.-*, who, after? wards, refused to affix their signatures to tho Treasurer's recoipts. Whether tho petitioner has suffered pecuniary loss from the courso adopted by him, your committeo doeu not pretend to say; but it is hardly probablo thut his case is any worso th:iu many others who wore creditors of tho city aud were will? ing to take oity curreucy. It is tho in teutiou of the city to redeem all its obligations ut tho earliest practicable moment; but your committeo tsan boo no good to result from the passngo of a resolution instructing tho Treasurer to pay a bill in "bankable money," whon ho has none of that commodity in his possession. Your committeo recom? mends that the account of tho peti? tioner take tho usual course. Alderman Carpenter also Hated that ho thought tho trouble resulted from the parties giving power of attorney, and that, in his judgment, tho giving of the same by any employee of tho city ought to bo considered a causo of disoharge, as in some cases parties so giving power of attorney had given orders against the City/Treasurer, and thus caused trouble. On motion, Council adjourned. OHAS. BARN UM, City Clork.

A Beautiful WoitK of Abt.?A cor? respondent of tho Louisvillo (Ky.) Ledger thus speaks of a picture which is j being executed by Copt. W. P. Hix, of 'this city. Tho figures will bo life size: "Tho sudden death of Mr. Wearn will not deter Cupt. Hix, tho surviving I partner, and one of tho finest and most ifamous portrait and landscape painters in the South, from carrying out his an nounced determination to undertake tho oxeoutiDD of a great national srork, \ based on a heroic incident wniph took place at tbe fierce battle ot Fredericks burg. The incident is this: Atter tbe gallant ohurge of tbo National Irish t Brigade upon the atone fenoe bebind whioh a portion of Gen. Kerahaw's di? vision of South Carolinians were posted, the ground was covered with the deed and dying Unionists, who, on the repulse and retreat, were left to softer the un? told agonies of a battle field. It is de? clared that the Irishmen made as heroic a charge as it had been hopeless emd fatal; and when they had retreated* both armies kept np a murderous sharp shooting upon eaoh other. So fatal was this cruel sport that the Federal reports declare that 150 Unionists fell in. their rifle pits from the fire behind the stone wall. On the Confederate side, the mo? ment a hand or head was raised above tbe wall, it was sure to bo perforated with a Unionist's bullet. Sergeant Kirk? land, one of the sharp-shooters, sta? tioned behind the stone wall,, is the hero of tho incident. He was .after? wards, we mourn to say, killed in bat? tle. Ho belonged to the Seoond South Carolina Infantry. The groans, of the wounded Federalists lying juat over the wall pierced hia humane heart, and his i kindly, humane nature rebelled against tbe cruelty of their sufferings. They cried for water, and there was no, friend? ly hand to bring it.' Kirkland reaolvdd to make the attempt to relieve the wants of tbe dying, aud with that moral and physical horoism whioh surmounts all obstacles, and darea death for the good of others, he repaired to Gen. Kerahaw's headquarters and asked the privilege of jumping over the wall and carrying water to the lips of the wonnded ene? my. At first the General would not think of such folly. He told Kirkland thut eure death awaited the man who mounted the wall, for the fire was in? cessant and fatal. Kirkland declared that he could not bear to hoar tbe groans of anguish which greeted his ears, offd he would make the attempt to relieve tbem if the general wonld give his eon sent. The appeal was too strong to be resisted by the magnanimous Kershaw, aud be reluctantly gave his permission; whereupon the gallant sergeant depart? ed on his more than perilous mission, assuring his friends that he did not be? lieve he would be killed. A bound, and ho was over the wall. But he had not touched tho opposite turf before a vol? ley of bullets, fired from a hundred con? cealed points* welcomed him on his mis? sion of mercy. But miraculously, he was unharmed. He knelt down, the object of a murderous fire, pat his can? teen, like a blessed Samaritan, to the lips of a dying soldier, and arranged hia knapsack for a pillow. Tbe Federals wore mistaken. They thought, reason* ably enough, his purpose to be the rifling of their dead, but they disco? vered his noble mission, and the firing upon him alaokened and ceased, and bis work went on as it had, oblivions of the cruel shafts hurled at hia charmed life. From one to another he passed in bis loving work, and two great and hostile armies forget their animosities in won? dering observation and admiration of the hero who braved almost certain death to do a kind act to suffering men. This painting will do much toward the total destruction of the still smoking embers of sectional animosity. Hotel Abbivads, January 17,,1874.?
