A lev days ago, Governor Chamber? lain sent into the Senate % litt ot bo minations ef Trial Justices for Chester County, looludiog the names ot ssve ral Oontervative citixtns. At the eame time be re-appointed B. G. Xooum, County Treaaurer. In acting upon the nominations, in ezeoutive session, the Senate discriminated between those of [ Conservatives and those of Republi? cans, oonfirsaicg the Utter and passing over list former. Upon, ibis, the Go? vernor sent a special massage-'to the Senate, in wbioh he sta'.ed, plainly and forcibly,, that unless the Senate ?easediroaa Uli? partisanship and re* eogaute4r>i-W rU*e*t o! appointees from **-q?^ view |han mare party interest, it would be impossible for ttteState AdsaiobbrStien to,redeem its pledges of reform. He eoald not fill tbe Or?oea in bt? th?t with oompe tent and'b^naat saeo. if the Senate re-1 iected; theh? VAtepuM they wore Con-, corvativee. Mb declared it to ha bis par pose, when be eoald not find an hones* and capable Republican to fill an office, to appoint a Conservative to the poaitibn. If tbe Senate meant to correct the errors and abuses ol the past and to redeem the eredlt of the State, be would expect it to co-operate with bim. T He weht farther, as we are informed, and intimated in unmistaka? ble langnage that he would not submit to being hampered in this way any longer, and if such opposition was con? tinued, he would refuse to make ap? pointments until after the adjourn? ment of the Legislature. The message | had the desired and proper effect, and the ?vumnitrai were ??uunmeu with oat soy more delay or cavilling. A capital stand on the part of the I Executive and-a sensible on/p \u (he Senate. It deaerwa credit for yielding its prejudices, to the judicious sway of the Governor. Its final action goes far to redca.mfitaflrsi!repngneeee to d= what waa only right. As an entering wedge-of o?r. ewrSfnt. capable and honest/ad^fntj|tr?tipn olCounty af? fairs, we bail with pleasure this aotiou of tbe governor and, the Senate. It tends in the direction of making fit aess aud oharncter the teat of public Servian and of divesting it of those eonsiderationa wbioh, unduly magni? fied, result In its degradation and inef? ficiency. Primitiv? MSB Testifies ta Iks Higher SSstsjIta or Mara. ? A writer in the last London Quar? terly Review presonts a study of pri? mitive man, based open observations and deduotious drawn from the works ef tbe recent writers, Tyler and Tub book, ? upon this interesting subject. He premises that there are two very distinct views as to tbe origin of the1 animal population of this planet. The I first?the monistio hypothesis?asserts | that out qni'orm law hat presided over I the whole, since all each creatures are distiogeueheu from one another by differences wui?h ire differences of de? gree only, tad not of kind. The other ?-the doalistio hypothesis?asserts that | man (whatever may have been tbe ease with brute animal's) most have origi? nated in aome special manner, sinoe the difference between him and brutes is a difference of kind, snd not one merely of degree?he embodying a dis? tinct principle not present iu brute animala. It it the old question of the noity of the ha man race, ?Viewed from the stend-point gained by the Urge researcher, of tooderu neienoe, particu? larly inJttyj brioches of ethnology and aroLte dogy,'and in the light of the I speculations' ?*){ La mures, Darwin, Hurley und Spenoer. The writers spe? cially uuuw r?vSwJr mim .wUc^cii *G? their information und - -eepsbiftty, and are otherwise 'selected beeaose their bias is favorable to the tooajstte view of evolution,'and-the evidencesand admissippjr th.,y make *Uoh tell against it, can be more safely relied upon, .^i^pi^he faots-thej -annoonoe sod the judgments expressed, en.tfeejn with regard t?o speech, morality, reli? gion, progress and cqnun?uity of na? ture, in theji^t diverse tribes of man? kind, the writer fails to find evidence of man's existence in a brutal or irra? tional condition, either now or in tbe past, or that any, men now exist less remote,, front* beaa%a than, from ?tas highest individuals of mankind. We have found, ht says, as regards lan, guage. not only m essential agreement amongst all men, bat Wat even tbe merely dumb proveby their - gestures that they are posseesed of tbe really important part ?{the faculty, (the ?er bum mentale.) tbough aooideutally de prived of tbe poear of giving ifr Verbal ipiililm Hl? lilril Mll) O IX ntt*ls. ?? have foend that not oory are ell m?i poissisetl of morel percept ion. *ot even tbat their fano* msntal morel ptiuetplee src&ot its eoa tradiotion with ourjown: ''?onoeralog religion, ire have Seen tibat religions conceptions sppsat-to exist universally amongst all raoea of mankind, though often curiously aborted or distorted, and often tending to extreme degrada? tion, after periods during which a higher level bad been maintained, and he brings book from tbe investi-j get ion the Jams cheerful view concern? ing community of nature and progress. "Tbe final result, therefore," he aaya, "is, that ethnology and archaeology, though Incapable of deciding es to the possibility of applying tbe moniatio view of evolution to men, yet, ae far they go, oppose that application. Thus the etudy of man, paat and present, by the 3*ft mentioned sciences, when ?eed as a teat ef tbe adequacy of the theory of evolution, tenda to show (though the ultimate decision, of course, rests with philosophy) that it ia inadequate, and tbat another factor moat be introduced, of wbioh it do oliues to take any account?the action, namely, of a Divine mind, as the direct and immediate originator and cause of the existence of ite created image, the mind of man." He concludes, fur? ther, that oor poor, obscurely think-1 ing, roughly speaking, childishly act? ing, impulsive oousin of the wilda, is I not a oselesa tenant of his woods and plaius, his rooks and rivers. His bum? ble testimony is of tbe highest value in supporting the claims of his most civil? ized brothers to a higher than s merely! brntul origin. . m ?? ? Pactm Communicated It is h\fact, thst Senator Caia, of! EdgeQeld, did offer a lengthy preamble, preceded by a set of resolutions, con* oerning the late troubles in' Edgefleld Oonnty, for the action of tbe Senate. It ia a fact, that Oaiu made a long and spirited speech in support of them. It !a a fad, that all the Senators did net | oily endorse tbe etateinents of the preamble aa unvarnished truth. It is a fact, thst Borne of the Senators did move, and some desired, that the pre? amble be struck out?at least, some of tbe statements. It is a fact, that this wae not agreed to unanimously. It is mfact, that some of the dissenters to the preamble (to some parte, at least.) did express a willingness to vote for ] the resolutiona, but did not. It is a fact, that one Senator, made conspicu? ous in certain so-called Conservative papers, did qualify his vote in hurried language, as to the preamble, wbioh a certain critic, eager to notice it, did try to construct a bridge oat of it, through the brightness of his imagina? tion. It is a fad, tbat there is no ground to btlieve that this noted Sena? tor needs any bridge to pass from one 1 political camp to another, because it is well known that he is not a rabid par? tisan of sny kind, sod claims to have mind and sense enoagh to direot bis judgment iu voting without a dicta? tor, or the aid of a one sided and pre? judiced educator. It is a fact, tbat the 1 House ooooarred in this Senatorial eotioo, seemingly unanimous, as no member objected. It is a fact, tbat nc papers have faulted this. Oh, wby? Is not consistency a jewel? WHOLE TRUTH. Columbia, Janusry 25, 1875. Tue Euukfield Tboubuus ?Judge Maokey returned from Edgefield, yes? terday, and reports the whites as acting almost entirely upon the defensive. The oondition of things is fearful, ao oording to the Judge's description A correspondent of the Charleston News | and Courier oouclades a lengthy ao count of affairs ss follows: On Saturday afternoon lust, Jtid0e 1 Maokey began the investigation of the ease against Gen. Butler and others, I who had been charged by Tounant with an us .mult with iuteut to kill. I Tho defendants who were presuut were M. C Butler, L. Reese, G. Hancock laud H. Touues. Gen. Butler inti? mated that his witnesses wero not all present, aud he was not yet prepared to go iuto ao investigation. He was willing, however, to waive a prelimi? nary examination, and give bail for his appearance at court. Judgo Mackey decided to go on with the examination, with the understanding tbat the de? fendants abould have ample time to gat their witnesses, aud tbat the exa? mination should be adjourned from day to duy for tbe purpose. Tbe court j room was densely paoked with negroes, not more than a dozen whites being present. Tenuant was called, sworn reed proceeded to tell his story with variations. Upon his oro^s-examina? tion by tbe court, be said that tbe State arms used, by bis men, when tbey fired on the posts, belonged to Oapt. Bullock's company, and that ho bad sent hit men for them. His exa lioation and tbat of Charles Wbltloi a member of hie gang, lasted all the j evening, and. the case was theo ad I j ouru ad over. Tennent ia etill in jail,' under the charge of arson, aud tbe negro Bessy, who gave thefnfoTfmat tioo concerning the burning, is also in custody. Tbe responsibility for these troubles [sen certainly not rest opon tbe white I people of E ige field Oonnty. i There i never was each an organised system of bio M Iber? U im Sdsysflesd. Ai tbo. last election every Oouatyoslear eloss ?d wm s ooiore4-aw?-, tatnlshatiwa ot^ba*finanoes i if with the fev?red ressv^jtft Macksy, who is investigating tbe con? dition of sffnre, pronounces tbe entire syttera "a huge grand larceny." The Board of Oooory Commissioners is eooapoaed entirely of negroes?who are just able to write their own names. Tennant, tbe outlaw, is a member of tbe board. On Friday, Jodge Mackey told me that he attempted to obtain aocesa to the reoords of tbe office, but waa noable to do so beosose the key of tbe office was in Columbia, in posses? sion of tbe olerk of tbe board, who is also a member the State Senate. The Probate Jodge is a mulatto, uamed Bowie, from Oeorgia, an utterly in? competent man, and one who, it is said, is uot uuknowu to the police en thorities in Augusta. The Sohool Commissioner is an illiterate negro boy. So is tbe Olerk of tbe Coo it. The chief deputy of the olerk is h mulatto from Ohio, who has been iu tbe County only a few months. Tbe Coroner is an incompetent negro, of whom Judge Mackey says: "The only service be could render tbe County would be to make himself the subject of a coroner's inquest." Tbe Sheriff, a white man, is described by Judge Mackey ic tbe following terms: "He is an honest and trustworthy man, but has a dissgreen ble habit of appropriating .the fuuds of judgment creditors to his own use, -on tbe grouud tbat tbe Oouuty bas uot paid him for dieting tbe prisooers ander bis charge." The opinion of Judge Mackey upon the administra? tion of tbe jury law in eminently sug gestive. Seid lie: "Any citizen who has had wrong done to person or pro? perty, even the most violent aud ultra Democrat, can obtain justiae, provided he first makes satisfactory financial ar? rangements with the Jury Commis? sioner." "Iu short," added the Judge, aa I arose to depart, "yon may say that I assert that tbe government in Edgefiehi County is u vnst syntem of larceny." In tbe face of tbese facts, iu tbe face of all this official ruscst'ity, sisrs's and public plundering, any unbiassed person who cme here and live d awhile would be astonished to find the white oitisens pesoeful aad law-abiding. Tney are extremely aensitive, and oc? casionally quarrel and tight among themselves; bnt tbe records prove thst for tbe past four years they have exhi? bited a degree of forbearance tbat enti? tles them to the respect of the country. The lawlessness of Tennant and his rascally militia has occasionally led to disturbances between tbe blacks and whites, but in every instance, these were due to tbe threatening attitude of the negroes themselves. On the 19th of last September, when the whites were alarmed by the notion of the militia at Ridge Springe, and the entire Ooonty was under arms, a single act of violence would have led to a struggle, the result of which it is not difficult to foresee. And yet the whitest refrained from attacking the negroes. If you add to tbe rottenness of the County government tbe injudicious and indiscriminate arming of tbe ne? groes by Governor Moses, yon will have the direct cause of these troubles. Tbat the notorious Tenuant should have been allowed to remain unmo? lested iu tbe County jail for three nights, protected by tbe very white men who have l>e?n so bittejly de | nouncod for tbeir proscr ptiou of tbe negroes, and in tbe face of the proof I agniust him of being an incendiary and an outlaw, is as strange as it is 1 true. In any Northern or Western com? munity in the United States he would buve been at once taken from tbe j<iil Attd promptly bung. I aonfees myself unable to understand the forbearance of tbo white people of Edgefield County. It has been pub'isherl abroad tbat there are hundreds of negroes hiding in the swamps of the County to save their lives, anil tbat a negro is not safe here who exhibits a tendency to Republicanism in polities. This is an nn mitigated falsehood. Tbe records prove tbat there has not been a single caso of a negro being killed for bis political opinions in this County fiinoe the war. A good deal of stress has been laid upon tbe faot tbat, at the last election, a negro man was killed with a Republican ballot in bis band. I leuru from creditable witnesses, who were present at the occurrence, tbat tbe man was killed in a row brought on by the riotous behavior of some of his own party, aud the thing which he held in bis band when ho died was a "sling-shot," which, in the "outrage mill," was ground into u Republican ballot. Tun "Cospatbick" Shipwreck ? Details of tbo burning of tbe Eoglisb emigrant ship Cospatrick, received by foreign mails, add to the horrors of the scene, us briefly sketohed in our cab!o despatches. It will bo remem? bered that this vessel, a woudeu sail iug ship, was bound from London to New Zealand, with 100 emigrants and a orew of 40 men. She was burned while uear the Cape of Good Hope, and of the large number on board, only four escaped alive to land. One of tbese died soon after being picked up, so tbat we have a loss of life of 437 ?a fearful sum-total. The wretched survivors drifted for ten days in an open boat, without nataral food or means of sustenance. The little party dwindled by degrees, the living sub? sisting on the bodies of tbe dead until a passiug ship desoried them aud took the four sarviviog safferers to St. He? lena. 10.000 cigars, at 82 50 per 100, for aala at Solomon's. mwm?mwmmwm*mmmmmmmwmmmammmmmmmmmmm Pgontzx?doa*t ?orrow. the flr.? month of the ' Tlliytlrrt advsrtisement1 end ne? tto?? fflW be paid for in advance. * A fellow going down hill flops every thing greeted.

DbCastbo.?The Opera House was well filled, last night, to greet De Castro end his troupe. The whole en? tertainment was of the highest order and mirth-provoking. The dancing skeleton was highly amusing, aud the staff bell solo excellent. DeCastro's ventriloquism, we venture to assert, cannot be surpassed by any one now in the profession . The character songs and flirtation duets were heartily ap? plauded, and exoel anything of the kind ever presented to a Columbia an dieuoo. The great Indian box trick was well performed. The to rial sus? pension, or sleeping in the air, wes performed with grest credit to Miss Fannie. At the conclusion of the per? formances, large numbers of gifts were distributed to ticket-holders, among which were some valuable pre? sents.

No MAudi Gnse ?The chief festival of New Orleana has always been Mardi Gras, the day before Lent, wbioh Last begins on Ash Wednesdsy.

A despatch, bow ever, announces that Mardi Gene U not to be beld this year in New Or? leans, for the reason essentially that tbe people do not feel like making merry. Tho unhappy people ol Mew Orleans, like tbe captive Israelites, seem to feel more like hang leg their m harps upon the willowa than indulging in rejoicing nnder the heels of their oppressors. The Lenten season ban begnn with them long ego, end there j is no knowing where it will end.

Nothing can be more significant of the distrewe and suffering which have bean brought upon the people of New Or* leans, than their determination to ear render this year tbe celebration of their great annual festival of Mardi Gras. _.
