Gen. Emory expresses strong disapproba? tion of bis action in making affidavits Bgalnst citizens of Sbreveport. Be considered his personal appearanoe as proaeoutor a departure from the es? tablished rules of tbe service, and mischievous in tendenoy. But Mer rill was sustained by tbo War Depart? ment, nevertheless, and bis sotion justified by "the oiroomstances" over tbe head of his superior officer. Col. Morrow, who was dotailed by Qen. Empry to make a thorough examina? tion of tbe Bed River country, makes a report which strougiy condemns tbe unnecessary interference of United States Deputy Marshals, and their harsh and ornel manner iu doing it. It is a oo m pie to justification of tbo people. They are described as sin? cerely desirous to live quietly, under the protection of the Constitution of Ibe United States, bat as having au invinoibie repugnance to tbe sham and fraud of tbe State Government, and a deep sense- of the injury inflicted on them by the protection and bolstering given it by tbe admiuistration of Qeu. Graut. Iu forwarding this paper to tbe Secretary of War, Sen. Sherman requests that it be submitted to tbe personal perusal of tbe President, and says of Col. Morrow: "I know of no officer of Col. Mor? row's rook who is better qualified to ?nunlf . I r\t malla.u lib., ft,la WS? *?? iiiatwig -- ?~ -, and his opiuions are entitled to great Consideration." Tbe President appears not to have profited by tbe just and discreet sug? gestions of Col. Morrow and General Emory. He preferred to Ltick to Mer? rill. He represented force, fraud, im pertineut interference with tbe people aad disregard of their rights and feel? ings. Aa a oonseqneuce, Sheridan was Bent to carry out the fierce pro? gramme of Merrill rather than tbe sensible policy of Emory. Liberal and Praiseworthy ? It is pleasant to mention the liberal contri? bution of $00,000 for the eudowment of Newbevry College, now oonduoted in Walhalla, from Dr. Joseph B er ley, of Newberry. Mrs. A. J. Wallace, of Gerrard County, Kentucky, has re? cently made a donation of $15,000 to the support of Erskine College, and more reoently still $900 to tbe Doe West Female College. Tbe snms given by this estimable lady in tbe last four years, for the institutions of learning at Due West, amount to $20,000. Such noble use of mouey deserves tbe heartfelt thanks of all who appreoiate the value of edooation. Unfortunately, it is rare amongst uh. The Radical Rebel.?The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald publishes iu full a speech delivered by Hoo. B. H. Bill, on tbe 20th instant, before the Georgia Le? gislators, at the request of a large number of its members, i'he Louisi? ana questioo is treated by Mr. Hill with great ability. He was opposed I to secession, bnt he looked upon radi? calism as tbe only intentional rebel in American history. "It is a rebel against the Constitution of our fa? thers; it ia a rebel against tbe so? vereignty of the States; it is a rebel against the domestic tranquillity whiob tbe Constitution was intended to assure; it is a rebel against every principle of jastioe, and a rebel againet every bleating of liberty." Mr. Hill advisse sobrnission to the laws, right or wrong; bnt, he adds: "I am not willing to see the Constitution nub verted that we may be treated as ban? dits and outlaws, and advise our peo? ple to submit to tbat, nor do I believe the Northern people will require or permit such humiliation. We eatoh op tbe old slogan of our enemies and read it, and turn to its authors and say: 'This oouutry?tbis whole coun? try?must be all free or all slave.'" Tbe Herali says tbat no speech made within its remembrance ever bad such an enthusiastic reoeption; none ever created a profounder impression. Fidelity to the Constitution was the key-note of tbis stirring and eloqueut address. Profession vs. Phaotick.?It was deemed worthy of special mention^ that the will of the late Gerrit Smitfi\ the life-long abolitionist, made no be? quests to tbe oolored race, of which he vas esteemed the speoisl friend and champion. His immense lauded estates, as well as his stocks and bonds, were lsft to bis two children. In striking contrast with this will, is tbat of the late G. B. Lamar, of Savannah, Ga., wbieh was recorded in one of the courts of Memphis, Teno., oa Thurs? day last. The will in question involves 'over $1.000,000 in property, of which ?mount tbe deceased bequeathed the ?em of $100,000 to tbe Board? of Mayor and Aldermen of Atlanta and Savannah, Ga. This is to be distri? buted among tbe aged colored people of those, cities, and more especially among those whom be had formerly owned as slaves.

Judge Mackey, who was reqaested by G-vernor Chamberlain to go to Edgefield, lMt weck, to Investigate the recent troubles in that County, baa re* tureed, and has submitted hie report to the Executive. The following is a copy of tbe document: Cohtjmbta. S. O , January 26, 1875. To His Excellency Governor Chamber' lain?Dear tint: Id accordance with tbe request contained in your Excel Unoy'e communication of tbe 20th instant, I proceeded to Edgefield, ar? riving at the County seat early on the following day. The object und scope of my mission to that disturbed section of tbe titate are expressed in that com? munication, of wbiob the following is a copy: IStatb of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. Columbia. January 25, 1875. Hon. T. J. Mackey, Circuit Judge, die. Dear Sir: I h?ve learned that an armed collision has taken place in the OoQoty of Edgefield, between white and colored citizens. I fear that, if unchecked, disorder may become wido, spread in that County. In tho abeonci of tbe Circuit Judge of the Fifth Oisl ouit in another County, I request your to proceed to Edgefield County, and] exert your influence and powers iu allaying tbe disorder and iu adjusting the difficulties out of which the trou? bles have sprung. To this end, I trust that you will cull upon all good citi? zen* tb aid yon in restoring and pre? serving tbe pence and iu euforciug tbe laws of the State. Very respectfally, your obedient eervsnt, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN, Governor of South Carolina. Ou my arrival ut Edgefield Court House, I stated pub'.icly the object of my visit, and a courier wus despatched to the scone of tho disturbance to make/. my presence and purpose known to the citizens of both races. Having learned that Captain Edward Teunaut, tbe al? leged leader of tho colored citizens iu tho reported collision, had arrived iu tbe town, I sent him a message re? quiring him to appear before me, with whioh he complied promptly. After I had duly warned bim him that ha V7as not obliged to commit himself, he made a statement which accords eub stantially with hie affidavit herewith transmitted. It appearing from that statement that Teuunut had, with an armed force, resisted a lawful wurruut, issued for bis arrest on the obarge of arson, and that be hud made that re? sistance effective by firing upou the posse duly summoned to enfoioe the execution of snob warrant, I committed bim to jail to await examination. Be? fore committing bim, be, at my in? stance, made an affidavit, charging M. O. Butler and teu other citizens with an assault and battery with intent to kill, by discharging their fire-arms against him, the Baid Tennant, and the persons lawfully associated with him, und feloniously and maliciously wound? ing, by euch discharge, Charles Whit? low, John Morgan, Evans Mitobell and William Benuam, iu Merriwetber Township, on tho 19tb day of Janu? ary, 1875. I, therefore, issued my warrant for tbe apprehension of Gt>o. M. O. Butler and the ten other persona named in the affidavit. The parties charged resid d at distances from twenty to twenty-five miles from the oourt bouse, and it was with great dif? ficulty I prooured tbe services of an officer to execute the warrant. The Sheriff of tbe County appears to be s worthy aod inoffensive men; but his whole lutulligenoe sad cense of duty seem to have lapsed into a strong instioot of self-preservation. He waa afraid to enter the Merriwetber Town? ship, becauao the blaok people there didn't know him, and the white people did know bim. After a delay of twenty-four hours, the Sheriff obtained a suitable Deputy, who was despstol ed with the warrant. Tbe Deputy She? riff srrssted Gen. M. O. Butler, and bis oo-defendauts, all of whom are stated by the officer to have yielded prompt obedience to tbe warrant. The defendants having appeared, I pro? ceeded with tbe preliminary examina? tion, and olosed the testimony for the State on last Saturday night, after ex? amining numerous witnesses, all of whom sustained tbe statement of Ten? nant, but avowed themselves as parties with Tennsnt in the srmed resistance to the process. On motion of the de? fendant's counsel, the examination of tbe witnesses for the defence wes set down for Thursday, tbe 28th iost., and the defendants were recognized in tho sum of 81,000 eaob, to appear on that day. Edward Tennant was also bailed in tbe same snm for bis appearance on I tbe same day. Tennant and bla asso? ciates of the militia company had fled I to Edgefield village to the uumber of thirty after tho armed collision, but at my request, and on my ussurauce of their safety, tbey returned to thoir homes ou Sunday last openly and un? molested. sNv sAt is impracticable for me at present* \o present a foil exhibit of the facts in regard to tbe condition of Edgefield County, which facts are of the gravest concern to the State, aud should be made known to your Excellency. They will bo set forth iu a future re? port when the ponding examination shall have terminated. Saffioe it now to say that, in my deliberate judg? ment, no euch iniquity as the County government of Edgefield has been in flioted npon any portion of the Eng? lish-speaking raoe sines the Saxon wore the iron collar of the Normau. In that esse, however, tbe bsrsh domi? nation was that of s superior civiliza? tion, which elevated White it ohasteu ed. Io this it is the reverse. The oondition of Edgefield presents a pro? blem thst demeode en instant solution 10 the interest of the public peace and the doe preservation of life sod pro pert j. To this end. I ear oeslly recom? mend that jour Excellency will forth with issue and enforce an order with? drawing the State arms from the eight or tea militia companies cow organ? ised and equipped, and supplied with am monition, in the Connty of Edge field, with tbe view to have tbe amid arms deposited in tbe State armory at tbe capital. Dnring tbe past year, tbo officers commanding several of those oompsnies, to wit: (Japtaioe Edward Tennant, Bullock aud others, have ordered tbe assembly to beat, j and have called their aompauios to arms to redress tho real or fancied grievances of an individual member of a company in a personal quarrel with a white man. In tbe vicinity of Pine House, at a point about sixty-two miles from Columbia, in Eigefielri County, Captain Bullock is located with some forty armed men of bis com? pany aud their families, on a tract of land leased by Senator L Ouio, of chut County, embracing only about sixty acres, and I am informed by a gentleman living iu the vicinity, that on last Friday and Saturday nights, that company alarmed tbe neighbor? hood by beat of drnm, und the rapid and long-continued discharge of their ^ro-arms*^juVb call out tho militia, is uu act of sovereignty wbio'< tbe Consti? tution of tbe State vests alone in tbe Qoveroor, who by tbat grave act exer? ciser tbo embodied powers of all tbe departments of the commonwealth, and substitutes, of necessity, pbysioal foroe for tbe pacific agencies of tbe law. For a nnbordinate officer, unau? thorized, and for an unlawful purpose, to oall out tbe militia, as has been done in, Edgefield, is an act of war upon so? ciety, and tbe officer aud every man -o assembled is liable to indictment under oifr laws. i^Tbere are also several white rifle 'clubs iu EJgehYld County, which have beeu armed and equipped by their in? dividual members as couuter-irgauiza tious to tbe militia. I. therefore, re? commend tbat your Excellency will aBSiitne tbe attitude to require them also to disbund.'K I further recommeud that your Excellency will take the requisite course to have two com panics of United States troops stationed in Edgefield County, one of which shall be posted iu Mem wet her and Wash? ington Townships. This should be done as a measure of repose to that important and greatly disturbed sec? tion of tbe State. The presence of United States troops iu Edgefield County, commanded as they are by tbe brave and courteous gentlemen and distinguished soldiers who compose tbe officers of our army, will at uuoe infuse a eense of security among all clashes of good citizens iu that commu? nity, who will see, in tbeir uniforms and flag, tbe honorable symbols of our great and beneficent republic, whose viilitary forces move not as the agent of any one of the contending factions, bot stand prepared to guard tbe equal rights of tbe American citizens who compose tbem both. Ia conclusion, I forward herewith tbe affidavits of Charles Whitlow, A. Thomas, Qeo. Ryan, Anderson Bossy and Gen. M. C. Butler, marked re? spectively B, 0, D, E and F. Tbe witness, Anderson Bussy, is tbe per? son on wbose statement Gen. Butler made bis affidavit, charging Edwaid Tennant aud others with having com? mitted tbe crime of arson in burning Gen. Butler's residence. The armed collision resulted as stated from an at? tempt to execute the warrant of arrest based on tbat affidavit. Anderson Bussy now swears that Gen. Butler, and others, compelled him with pistols levelled at his head, and by marking out tbe figure of a grave at his feet, to make that statement. This Gen. But? ler denies, and informs me tbat he will transmit affidavits proving tbst Anderson Busny's statement, criminat? ing Edward Tennant, was made freely and voluntarily, and not ander dnress or the promise of reward. I will transmit these additional affidavits as soon as received. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your Excellency's obedient servant, T. J. MACKEY. Death of the Empbbob of China. Toung Cbe, reigning Emperor of China, whose death ia announced by a cable despatch, was born April 21, 1866. He was the eldest son of tbe Emperor Heinfung, and succeeded t? tbe throne at tbe death of his father, August 22, 1861. Toung Cbe was tbe eighth Emperor of China of tbe Tartar dynasty of Tatsing, wbioh succeeded the native dynasty of Ming in the yesr 1614. The Emporor Heinfnng, on designating Toung Cbe, a minor, as bis successor, ordered that he should be kept until reaching bis majority un? der guardianship of eight high officials, who were to carry oo tbo Government in his name, but iu consequence of the Palace revolution occurring soon after tho accession of tbe young ruler, (No? vember 2, 1801,) three out of the eight appointed imperial guardians were Tu lieu and the rest banished, while tbe supreme power was taken possession of by two of tbe wives of tbe deceased sovereign. They associated themselves with Jib Su, Prince of Kong, uncle of tbe young Emperor, who was nomi? nated bead of tbe Council of Minis? ters, and became virtually Regent of the Empire. ??? ? ???????- - it Tbe Boston News says tbat tbe temptation for Grant to indulge in a Spanish war may be strong, bnt the people should make an early attempt to aid him in resisting it. They oan certainly aid him by catting off naval and army appropriations. Having given way to tbe temptation to rain Louisiana, Grant will undoubtedly be laid on tbe shelf in 1876, to give place to a man who oau resist temptation and be the plain President of a repub? lic.

Cheek?Mr. Bennett's paper speaks like Sir Oraele on the Missouri Sena torsbtp, thus: "The defeat of Schars in Missouri and tbe election of Gen. Ooekrell, an officer of the Southern army, is a sog gestiveand unfortunate fact. It is a blander that never should bare been committed by a wise party. Missouri waa prsotioally a Northern State during the war?at least, it waa held in the Northern lines. While it is natural enongh tbat tbe Southern States should elect their army leaders to Congress snob action ia free and Northern Mis? souri will give opportunity for acri? mony and censure. We shall welcome tbe rebel from the South, bot we are hardly ready to do so from the North.** You may be compelled to welcome a great many other unpalatable things before long. Tbe people of Missouri will hardly ask a young man, who spends half his time in En rope, whom tbey shall select for Senator. As the Montenegrins are coming to the surface, it is interesting to'know that, although their territory embraces bot 1,600 square miles of tolerably wild laud, and they are bounded on the Nortb, East and South by Turkish provinces, the Aostriaa province of Dal mat ia separating them from the Adrtatio Soa, tboy aro a bravo and war? like race, brought up from their childhood to bate their neighbors, the Turks. To all other raoee tbey are very polite and hospitable. The rough oonQgoration of their country gives them many strongholds of an impregnable nature in, the event of a Turkish war. The Montenegrin army numbers 60,000 men, wbioh is one fourth of the whole population, and while, of themselves, they can hardly expect to hold out against the Turks, it is probable tbat Russia and Austria will sustain them, even at the risk of stirring np the everlastkog Eastern question la its general European war possibilities.
