COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Moraine. March 20,1874. Anotlicr Act Lont. Tbe joint resolution authorizing and requiring the Attorney-General to insti? tute immediately legal proceedings against Nilea G. Parker, lately State Treasurer, for the illegal issue of bonds of the State of South Carolina, was duly puased by both branches of the Goneral Assembly, duly engrossed and enrolled, and on Tuesday, tbe last day of the session, ratified by the President of the Senate and Speaker of tho House, ft. in the duty of the Chairman of ibo Committee on Enrolled Acts to take them to the Governor for his signature and approval. Maxwell, Senator from Marlboro, is the Chairman. He held the same position when the other Aot was loBt a year ago. We do not know what acoount he gives of his eouduot in the matter. In the Executive office, it is asserted that tho bill was not re? ceived on Monday with the others. On yesterday moruiog, two days after ad? journment, a copy of the bill, dated baok the 17th, was receipted for by the Private Secretary of tho Governor. It was copied on Wednesday, from tho en? grossed Aot in tho oflleo of the Secre? tary of State, at tho instance uf Mux well, as wo> understand. Now, who is to blame for spiriting away this bill? We have hoard that, immediately after ratification, it was taken, with others, by Maxwell, accom? panied by tho Assistant Clerk of tho Sonate, Barre, into tho Judiciary Com? mittee room, and that the titles of the Acts were oopiod as they were raad out by tho Assistant Clerk of tho Senate. The next thing in order was for the Chairman of tho Committee (Maxwell) to take thorn to tho Governor. But, as we said, it is denied in the Executive office .that any such bill was received until yesterday. We oall upon Maxwell to inform the public what he did with this bill. When he took the batch of bills to the Governor, on Monday, and got a irecoipt for them, how did it happen that he did not miss this one? It had just been ratified, and was important in its oharaoter, and not likely to bo over? looked or forgotten. It seems not to have been missed anywhere until Wednesday. Then stops were taken to have it again enrolled from tho en? grossed copy, to get the necessary signa? tures, and to send it to the Executive. The Governor takes the ground that he cannot sign it, because not reoeived by him during tho session of tho Genorul Assembly. Bat the General Assembly hae not adjourned. It has only taken a rooet>s. In tho eyo of tho law, it is still in session. Altogether, it is a disrepu? table affair, evidently not the result of auy accident, but designed to prevent the investigations, which would crimi? nate more tbau Parker. But the attempt will not succeed. It will Suly have the effect of showing, in more glariug co? lors, the desperate shifts to whioh wicked and corrupt meu will resort to hide the villainies of their accomplices and their own. Another ngly fact to bo add?d to tbe record of the -Stale Admi? nistration, to' . poudered at Washing* ton and throughout the whole country. -~?~* ?. Wliitteinorc'tf Appeul. One of the grounds mentioned for the retention of the troops, in Whitte morn's whining appeal to Congresi, is, that through their presence, harmony and good order may prevail throughout the ritate during the next elections, and tbe rights of the cleotive franohiso bo thereby guaranteed to all citizens. Now, there are frauds in the assessment of tascs, in the collection of laxes, in their disbursement, and in everything else connected with the State Government. <'a?the greatest of frauds, tho most . infamous of rascalities?is the election laws. It iti not materially monded by t o i.tuendmeuts in the bill for that pur? pose. A registration of tho voters is much noedeit. When it was proposed, :ht- other day, in tho House of Repre? sentatives, so vet til of the fuglemen cir jointed uronud, and spread tbe impres? sion, that if adopted, tho Democrats would carry Iba Stute. Tho amendment ? bk'h prop ,..ed it wins voted down. --> ?~?.-.? It is i.->, stated thut Biamark's opinion in that another war with Fruuco is iu ovitable; that she will bo backed by IlasHi'it, and that all Earopo will bu iu< volved iti tho contest. It has not been long since ull tho Emperors ?i E.trope in hilarious alter dinner Mpooches de? clared that tho poaoo of Europe should bo maintained. So if this bo true, wc oau put no more faith iu what Emperors say when drunk, and tho proverb in tcrilas fulls into disrepute. > - i ?^ ?? Tho guns taken from the Virginia Military Institute by Geo. Hunter dur? ing tho war, will bo restored to tho in? stitute; au order to that effect having been issued by the Secretary of War. Forced Construction. We bad the pleasure, a few days ago,, of publishing the pleasiug correspond enoo between Judge Muckey and Colo? nel Black, concerning the exhumation ot some buried Federal soldiers in Lan? caster, by ex-Confederate soldiers, and of their escort by them, with the ho? nors of war, to Columbia, where tbey wero confided to tbo caro of Colonel Black, and by him transmitted to the National Cemetery at Florence. It was generally hailed as an aot which indi? cated that the smouldering fires of sec tionul strife wero going out. Tbe ex Confederate soldiers wero commcuded on all bauds for their conquest over prejudices, for their ability to rerpove from their minds everything in connec? tion with those who had invaded uud fallen on their native soil; bat the cou? rage with which they had met death, and the duties of tbe bravo who sur? vived the unhappy conflict, to render all proper homage to tho bravo on both sides who fell in it. It was a beautiful evidence of tho humanity whioh sur? vives tho memory of war, bloodshed, bitterness and alienation. In acknowledging the courtesy of this noble and magnanimous net, General Sherman has gono out of his way to put an improper and strained interpretation upon it. Its meaning was obvious. It was not tho expression of opinion upon tho causo which suocceded, any more than upon tho ono which was lost. Suoh thoughts wero not in the minds of tho soldiers*. It is disingenuous in General Sherman to attribute to them the purpose of any avowal of tho kind. Their aot speaks for itself, nnd warrants no such conclusion as that it was "meant as an earnest of their respect for tbe great cause io whioh these two soldiers died." They were not at the confes? sional, and what they think on such subject is their own business, and not General Sherman's. It is an attempt to tako advantage of the exhibition of a high and commendable spirit, and to ex? tort out of it a confession, to which even General Sherman cannot descend, without reociviog tho rebuke which it merits. <????? Responsibility tor the Frauds. The Union makes a feeble attempt to hold the Conservative members of the Legislature responsible for the fraudu? lent jobs put through, or attempted to bo put through, in tho last hours of the session. Their blame, according to this journal, is that they did not anticipate the movement to rescind the resolution to adjourn on Saturday. That day hav? ing been fixed upon as tho day of ad? journment, several went home. The organized band took advantage ol their absence to prolong tho session and to revive their bogus claims. Now wo know that some of these gentlemen have beou desirous of luuv.ug Columbia for the last six weeks. Tbey became satis? fied that the seasiou was continued only in the interest of tho members. They remained, therefore, not because thore was auy thing to be done, but to prevent what evil they could. Supposing that when a day had been at last agreed upon by both houses to udjouru, that it would be done, they thought they might ven? ture to go. They were deceived as to the time agreed upon for adjournment. It was only a blind. As soon as they left, tho rings commenced to operate. The Union dou'b brand the rogues themselves; it only baa censure for those who happened to bo awtty, and so were unablo to check tb*?;r schemes. The business of tho Conservatives, then, and their bounden duty, hi to watch the legislative rogues, and head them off.

Sunday In New Yorlc Oily. New Yobk, March 16, 1874. Mr. Editor: Yesterday was a privi? leged day with mo. At y A. M., I took the Fulton street aura, and on arrival at the ferry, immediately crotsed over to Brooklyn. The stream of pedestrians through tho atrcots of that city pre? vented the necessity of my inquiring the way to Plymouth Church, for thither were we nil aiming, to hear the renowned preuchei', Henry Wurd Becohor. His church is a plain, massive cdtfico of brick, built in tho oldeu time, and ex? tending through a narrow block from out) street to another. Arriving at the entrance, we found several hundred at the gate, in the street, denied admtssiou until tho pow-holders had entered. Picsoutly tho rush was gonerul, and as it lite uud deutu depended upon uur en? tering, this one pushed that way and tbat one this way, till tho church was a perfect jam. Tho pews nro arranged to lap over the aisles, so that the floor is u series of semi-circular seats from side to bide of the church, twenty in u urn bur, and each seating fifty persona, for 1 counted. The gullery oxtoudu along two sides and one end of the church, and lots eight tiers, euch seating 125 persona comfortably. Tho second gal? lery covers the end of the ohurch, and seats about 100. Tho short corner seats, the various jambs and lobbies, will accommodate 500 moro persona. All these holes and corners, yesterday, wore sandwiched with men aud women. My st at was in a most remote corner of tho gallery, and I could see nothing but the man who stood in frout of me; aud yet tho acoustics of the building are ho perfect, I heard overy wbtaper made by the preacher. This friend und I agreed to exchange places every fifteen minutes, ho that, stauding, I saw the venerable divine, sitting it3 seuctimoniou&ly us possible upon tho small stage, with uu immense bouquet of flowers on either side of him, und looking tho express imago of Bonj irain Franklin, as be used to appear in Poor Richard's almanac. His long, iron-grey hair* and full tailed black frock coat, made him look pecu? liarly Puritanical. His text was from Proverbs, x, 6-7. but more particularly the 7th verse: "Tho memory of tho just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot." After premising that these proverbj were to-day as appliuablo as they were 3,000 years ago, and that the Christian might find himself refreshed by reading them daily, and practicing them in the street, tho field, tho ware? house, the office, and among his house? hold, he immediately outered upon his Bubject, which was this: As the memory of tho just shall bo blessed, so does good action tend to porpetnato itself; aud as the name of the wicked shall rot. so doe a wickedness tend to destroy itself. If this bo true to-day, as it was in Solo? mon's time, is it not right that men should desire to be remembered for the good they do? Ia other words, doeB disinterestedness require a man to deny himself the right to feel a pride in doing uo act to bcuefit others, because thereby ho knows ho benefits himself? Should not all men desire to have tboir memory perpetuated? And, iu turn, should not every geucrntioa remember its benefac? tors? Ho was a benefactor who built this church, und another benefactor painted it, und no on all through the list of artisans engaged; and people say, (said the preacher,) that it is a plain church; and perhups its builders don't deservo remembering, Sre. So it is plain, said be, but it looks right well when you are all hern. [Laughter.] Speaking of tho phrase "common lavel," he said there were tnun aud things iu life very much alike; they ull looked alike, und ivero liku so many bettor cukes on a griddle; all of tho same size aud shape?all round aud level. | ilu nuwed laughter.} And of man's ambi? tion? whatever has been done, can bo done. When men took to training fast trotting hor.sen, 4 minutes was thought to be good time; but good trahmig eiVected the sumo result in U minutes; aud finally, persistent efforts got it down to 2 20. "Yes, ami some man will say, 'my nag shall beat that,' a.id Lo'il da it, too." True disinterestedness can be shown in no moro lundaLdo way than b\ defeutliug one's country. And this Witt well shown in our lato terrible couil et. "Yes," sti I he, "they mut it} the battle? field?both tho tdaycr und IL > iilain? each rea ly to die for hia country. And it was their country, my breilhreu. The Southern soldier sacrificed himself upon tho altar of his country; Uu believed it wan his country; and should be remem? bered f >r bin devotion I ? principle." This sermon, of just ouo hour, was a must remarkable production. Its luu giingo was chaste, even when alluding to topius irrelevant to tho pulpit; its logic and argument philosophic;*. ; its < ITcct pleasing, and its delivery bloqucut. Though the l:r.-.t lime 1 over heard him, it plainly rev- tiled to ;ue why this quaint genius should bu popular. No common mind could assume the latitude he does. At -1 P. hi., it. was tuy pleasure to hear the llev. Tyng, Jr., D.D., who is e young man of uhout 110 pounds, live i.-et eight inches high, square, full fere hea l, sanely hair, long Hide whisker.-, clean?slutveil chin, and most ferociout moustache His full but ; mall grey eyes and en el carriage give him i loofc quite a lu milihiiiv His text, "Though 1 walk through the valley of :ho uhtido'* of death," Je.., was gracefully bandied Bunyun's ullugory of Uhtisliuu's walls , being n.s ?1 to impress the congregation j that l hero were many terrible ralleyi ! through which wan had to travel before reaching the valley (if death. But if, it I their daily walk, Christi .us would can \ I with them tho rcniniueior of the teixt? I "Thou wilt bo with mo"?the dread oi j death would bo greatly assuaged, ant j tho world made much happier. The : sermon was very short, and contuiuee uothing that would induce the couvie tiou that tho Doctor was a man of etui nouee; but his reputation justifies the conclusion that he is ono of New York'. first pulpit orators. His dtelamatiou is graceful, and his pronunciation proo 66 to a faalt. All his words are monosylla bles, for he says "per-feot-ness" for por feotness, and "com-fort" for comfort, and so throughout his delivery. This mannerism smacks considerably of af? fectation, for I was not impressed that be talked so, having heard him casually in conversation. At 8 P. M., I went to the Church of the Disciples?u hnge pile of Vouitiuu spires, surrounding a hugcr dome, that 00 rorcd an immonso umphithcatricul pit, that will seat, I am told, 3,000 people, all facing a sniill, Bemi-circular -stage, upon which is 6eaied the minister, by a table, with tho organ behind him, and his choir and congregation before him. Tbo ceiliug is fiat, horse-shoo shaped, and from it the gas lights throw their brilliancy upon thn moving massus be? low.* This immonso pit was thoroughly packed from stage to door, and the dis? tinguished orator ou tho occasion was tho Rev. Dr. Hepworth, whose elo qiionco nod popularity has built bim this, one of the most capacious nud ex? pensive churches iu tho city. On this occasion, bis theme was Charles Sma? ller, and his text Kornau?, xiv, 7?"For none of us livetb to him self, und no tain dieth to himself." He was not iong in introducing to his audience bi? subject, for he sol, out by sayiug, when a strong oak fulls iu the forest it decay*, others grow up around it, and it is not missed; but wheo tho branching elm, that has grown where its shade u.fton shelters the weary traveler, is uprooted by the storm, its loss is lamented on ?ll sides. So with Mr. Sumner. He stood out in bold relief from amongst bis peers, a giant in intellect, a model of integrity, n very paragon of perfection. He called bim the Moses of our times; the defeuder of tho "11 tg of liberty and I tbe flag of righteousness." [When did j "our" 'Amg evur have a religious tiguifi ?eioce?] He next gave a laudatory ue.r j ration of ."Mr. Sutouer'fl life and aervicee, j auel clearly proved him to have been a saint; especially us no one was called upon to prove Iiioi u sinner, lint wbou tbe Rev. Doctor came to that period iu bis life where Iirooka gavo him the uu giua-pecloiis, or some other hard-named disease, ho was theatrically eloquent. His imagination was vivid, for, "with its eye," he could sec the learned scholar, with thonghtful brow, poring over bis tomes nt his dusk in the Senate cham? ber; and tho same vivid imagination de? picted to its possessor one Brooks, an assassin, "fit representative of tbe laud of barbarism, the duel, tho cudgel," creeping upon tliu profound book-worm from behind, and with the blow of u coward, felling bim to tho floor, and for what? Simply becausa his country, with all its feudalism, nristoorucy and ignorance, could not meet tho unan? swerable arguments of Charles Sumner. The Rev. Doctor asserted that from this blow Snmner uever reooverod?"Brooks killed Sumner, but, thank God, that blow was the death knoll to slavery, too." When tho Doctor assarted this, he seemed to have- given vontto gas that had been pent up since 1850. There is probably no man in New England, ouel perhaps never was one, better known by the people of these 1 United States, nnd by tho South espe J cially, than Charles Sumner. That ho I was learued, no oue denied; that h* was a man of political integrity, was gone rally conceded; that ho was fanatical, everybody knew; that ho was cranky in .bis latter year?, most people thought; but that he was a man integer vito%, I neither his owu elivorced wife uor Dr. He.-worth be?oved. To pronounce uu eulogy upon Mr. Sumuer was fit and right, for be was a statesman, and i worthy the nation's admiration. But to prostitute tbu pulpit a Sabbath night by depicting, ye?, vividly ooujurirg up, i-ceues that never transpired, to inflame the popnlur mind and kindle anew tho fires of prejudice in the North against the South, is contemptible iu tho ex? treme, und unworthy tho man who dar'd to utter them. Religion, in tho hau Is of such men, can never exorcise charity towards tho rest of mankind, nud will never advance a stop towards healing tho "chasm"' that should ere ! this have been bridged over. If Dr. j Hepworth is an index of Northern phi I lauthropy, there is "righteousness" iu I the Ii ig, but scatcely semi-civilization in the South; and yet this is a glorious j Union.
