COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Horsing, Feb. 24, 1876. Th, Coming Battle. The city ie lively with the rumors of the intended impeachment and trial of State Treasurer Cardoso. These have ' 'prevailed to some extent for the last >w* weeks, bat have now assumed " more serious shape, and in a day or two we shall know more definitely, when a joint committee appointed to J investigate the funding and other ope? rations of the treasury have made a re m\ poA. An attiole in the Union-Berald, of yesterday, takes the view of tho -'. coming battle, that it ia one between the Republican Oorr option is tp, on the one hand, with tho genuine Republi? can Reformers, on the other; that the former, despairing of making any im pEjpwiu? direotly agsjnst the Governor, seek to strike at him through an attack upon the Treasurer, who nomi ^ nated him lathe oouvontion. We know ' enough of the matter to believe that .. .this ia not a perfeotly fair statement of 1 the aase as it stands, and would have preferred, a candid discussion of the real difficulties which surround it, to this attempt to strengthen the Trea ..." surer by associating him with the Gu verpor, end making a political and \.$\ party question out of a purely financial one. We shall do no more at present than to make this mild protest, and bold our mind open to the reception of the facts, whatever they are, and to e fair, unpartiaau ? S)hd unbiased con? sideration of tbam. We will add only a word. The censures and insinua? tions thrown oat in the article to which we allude against the "Democrats," us men who are anxiously watching and plotting for tho overthrow of Re ' publican esoendanoy in this State, and who will be likely to avail themselves of this opportunity to endeavor to accomplish it, are as undeserved as they are futile to pTo?uoe the intended effect. In its own language, it is "too thin" to et te*pt to palm off as real currency snob false counters as "secession, 1 slavery end caste/' iu anoh sn issue ae the one now abeut to be presented. . T^?aXT.ajEKATK.? The new Sonate will meet on the 5th of March, in spe? cial aeasion, by virtue of a proclama? tion from the President. The Repub lioane are much alarmed in regard to its control. There are twenty-eight Democrats in a total of ssventy-three, not including the Louisiana vaoanoy. 1 But this nominal Radical majority in ?- clad es several who cannot be 'oounted, on for the revolutionary Radical pro? gramme. The Republicans are, how? ever, endeavoring to get in two rotten borough States?Colorado and New MsxJoo-^by which they hope to get . i four Badioal Senators. Both these Territories together, eonnting Indians, negroes, carpet-baggers, and natives of all crosses, have not the population of ? Congressional District, and it ia not probable that in the next half century the revenue derived from both States would be sufficient to pay the salary, mileage, pickings and stealings of one Senator. Colorado can support only a sparse population East of the Rooky Mountains, end in what is known as th* "Parks," West and South-west of Denver; while New Mexico is still less inviting to emigration, having only a fewoaaea scattered amid its voloanio desert. The executive session of the Senate, celled for the 5th of Maroh, ? though ostensibly for the confirmation of Federal appointments and the con elderation of the Hawaiian treaty, is really to test the party fealty of the new Senators. A considerable nnmber . of then are new men, some of them ; , elgflfcd. by DemeeraUo support, and it WMmimm ^or the President to lU?W ?OW fer as can rely on them to support him, in the event that the force blU is not prssed, end the Lou Sitpi tni ArbMM troubles ere earned orer to;-him for settlement. The President already feels that he . jsJUl soon tread on uncertain ground, i { t'e^.?etiposeibly there might be dsn gat !a these Independent* and Iode it Republicans. t?if is said to be the new of oompromiso which the .A^W^elrvoa of Louisiana are nbw . eodeavering to have effected, and i; thsy think, will eventually bo ?.?fHtyK^&A***** ot ?be'e^ Uott of 1671 ie not to be considered; , ths ooaat^aalso Is to be restricted to ^Stona*, waieh will live them sixty" > Conservative* are to Jen seats In the lower rotes; the) r^St^to " 1 > vessaln Republican.- ' Title would be a partial atbnseteat for the late mili? tary Interference, bat it would ^tfsaJittj%tV KsUoyg, - sod leave the ?- '?e*eaie *^?fa,?rlty ob Joint ballot in The* Danger of ttola UoTtnuntBt-Ho.l. BX JUHXOS. , Pbiloeophioellyressoning ixom thn, paat, -we ca?not keep from thinking that the present condition of the ?t?te of affairs in this donntry is thfJinerita? ble obnaeqashoes of the risinsjoodfiiot betwean the sentiments whiod Onris tianity has spread abroad and the rights which the modern era reoognizee in the lower olaases on the pne side, and tbe eoonomio oondition of theee classes on the ether. The Gospel aboands in ideas of equality. It brings good tidings to the poor; it promises them the reign of joetioe; it condemns tbe rich. St. Paul declares . that be who does not work should not I eat. All this is no more than ideal, we admit; but it is an ideal which can? not but inflame tbosa who have an in? terest in thinking it capable of realiza? tion. Modern constitutions bare all tended to tbe recognition of all men as equals, and aooorded to all the right of participating equally in tbe nomina? tions of those who make the laws. Now what is the lot of the majority ? Evidently it is not what they consider as the ordinary interests .of humanity, or as what it should be, (although they are and may be in possession of all rights;) but they avow and contend that, in the interests of justice and the common weal, their share, tbe share of those wbo furnish the labor, ought to be greater than it is. This is what mekes the workman and laborer seek, in evory way, for some means of in? creasing wages, snd prompts him to strikes and to oall for the intervention of tho law to seoure that end. Unhap? pily, no system has been discovered whinh can satisfy these aspirations; and if suoh a system wore in existence in theory, it oould not come at onoo into practice, because there can be no eoonomio transformation whi?h does not operate most slowly. Uno of tbe resultant effects of all re? publics has been and is thst it szcites the hopes of the lower classes. A re? public appears to them as u promised land, where milk aud honey are to flow for tbe whole world, and where the la? borer's oondition must reocivo ame? lioration, neoeesarily and promptly. The people, they argue, is tbe true sovereign. How should tbe sovereign, they say, be reduced or compelled to suffer privations? Is it not the peo? ple, they shout, who appoint the law makers, and so themselves cause the laws to be made? Why, then, should they not impose laws detarruiniog a more equitable distribution of the fruits of toil? anAKH?aajiB.?There has been much said of late, as to who wrote Bbak Speere. We were let into the secret just as to how and who did tbe thing, on condition tbat we say nothing about it, and, of course, what we say is con? fidential, you know. Our informant received his information from one who was present, and whiob is substantially as follows: Hamlet overheard Julias Caesar tell King Lear, on the Twelfth Night after the Tempest, that Anthony and Cleo? patra had told Ooriolanus that Two Gentlemen of Verona were the authors of Sbakepeare's plays. Lear said: "Yon may take it As You Like It, but I den't believe it; for I heard Romeo and Juliet say Love's Labor was Lost when Troilus snd GreBsida stole tbe Comedy of Errors and sold it . to tho Merchant of Venice for forty bottles of old Bourbon and a package of poker oheoks. Timon of Athens and Cymbe line were parties to the theft; and, after drinking Measure for Measure with the Merry Wivee of Windsor, told King John alt about it." Richard III, (a competent critio,) said Bacon oould not write even a Winter's Tale, and Henry VII says tbat settles it. So, why make so Much Ado About No? thing? Othello was busy dealing a five oect game of faro to the IV, V and VI Henrys; and the only remark made by them was an occasional "Pr indie, don't torn! hold on I" and a few other foroible remarks of a cur? sory nature; and, as Riobard III was absent, Taming the Shrew, I could get no further evidence as to who wrote Sbakspearo. But All's Well That Ends Wall. Don't it? During the recent appearance of Ooggia'B comet, Mr. Norman Lookyer, the English astronomer, made some valuable scientific discoveries. Every night while tbat comet Was visible he was on bis watch tower, using the most powerful telescope in England; he mapped its march and photographed its every pbase; he resolved its fan shaped nuoleos ioto millions of shoot? ing meteors, and he experimented on tbe Urge number of meteorites in tbe British Museum?meteorites tbat have fallen in every part of Europe-? and found tbat when heated np to a cer? tain point tbeir speotroeoopio signs were exactly those of the oomet. Mr. Lookyer is coming to this country shortly, to confer with our scientific men, whom he bss aooredited with tbe greatest achievements in tbs recent observations of the transit of Venus. A writer in lbs New York Evening Mail says that Valmaaeda, wbo has been recently appointed Governor General of Oabu, in well known to be as lioeOtlons as be is oroel. He 'is no respecter of persona, nor of social standing, where women a ro concerned, but ihshite all alike, according to his fancy, when he thiako that he may do so with impunity. Series in this con? nection, adds the writer, might be un? folded, whiob would' certainly enrage Americans as muob as they do Gabens; bnt it la enough to say, that 4b ese Ut? ter loathe him ?s mach for his, seas u slity as they dread him for hfa efuolty.

M. Smith introduced a reso? lution, which was ordered for futnre consideration, that the General Assem? bly adjourn sine die, Tuesday, March 6. A message was received from the Governor, stating that he had approved the following Aots and joint resolu? tion: Act to make County Commis? sioners of Sparlanburg, Piokeus, Oooneo and Beaufort Commissioners of Health and Drainage; to regulate appointment and salary of Trial Jus? tuses in city of Columbia; to extend time for County Sohool Commissioner of Charleston to qualify; joint resolu? tion directing and requiring State I Treasurer to pay oertain moneys to the widow of the late Judge Green. Bills to proteot and encourage stock raising; to amend "An Aot to enable the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company to complete their road;" dirocting and requiring publication of monthly statements by State Treasurer, received their third reading and were ordered to the House. Bill to inoorporato town of Gaffney City, Spartanburg County, passed, and was changed to an Act. HOUSE;OF REPRESENTATIVES. Tho Houao was oalled to order Ht C P. M., but, without the transaction of any business, adjourned until to day, at 11 o'clock. Passing of Sentence of Death upon Jks.sk Pomeroy, the Doy-fibhd, of Boston.?The rnro speotacle of pronouncing the death sentence npon u juvenile murderer, was witnessed in ! the Supreme Court in Boston, on Su- i torduy afternoou. The unfortunate offender was Jesse Pomeroy, the boy-1 fisud, who was recently oonvioted of the murder of a little boy named Mil? len, nod who has also coufessed to the murdering of and the ornelly butcher? ing of a little girl named Katie Cumin. Ho is also the same youthful Good who tortured so mauy children in tho suburbs of Boston, a year or two since. Mr. Train moved that the sentence the law provided bo imposed upou the prisoner. By direction of the Court, the Clerk asked the prisoner if be had anything to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced against bim, to which ho replied, distinctly, that he had not. The person in the court? room who seemed to appreciate the so? lemnity of the occasion the least, was the doomed boy himself. He pre? served that calm, stolid and indifferent manner which characterized his ap? pearance during tho trial?not moving a muscle or seeming to care for the fate wbioh awaited bim. After the sentence he was removed to the jail, where he will remain until tho warrant of Governor Gaston is issued. Efforts for a pardon will probably bo made, but it is doubtful if it will be granted. The United 8tatbs Senate.?The election ef Jndgo MoMillan, in Minne? sota, on Friday last, closed the pro? gramme of United States Senatorial elections, which have made tho wiuter so interesting in a political point of view. The complexion of tho incom? ing Senate, as now iudioated, shows that the straight-out Radioals may he figured down to 8G, the Democrats 28, and tho independent or coalition Re? publicans 9. As most of the latter Republicans will probably go into cau? cus with tho regulars, the Republicans will, of course, continue to hold a ma? jority on matters of routine, und such I political questions as do not involve extreme measures. Should the uses of this majority be abused, however, there is no question that the elections which are to bo made to the Senate next year, will give the finishing blow to that peculiar character of Radical? ism in Congress wbioh is so disquiet? ing and dangerous to the oountry. In view of the raging railroad war, it may be of interest to state that the Pennsylvania Central has a well watered oapital stock of about $115, 000,000, whioh commands less than forty uents in the market. That of the Baltimore and Ohio amounts to only 826,000,000, but every oent of it represents actual value still on baud; there is no dividend stock nor funded interest included in it, bunco it sells ubove par. Besides this, tho Balti? more and Ohio is the luoky possessor of some 816,000,000 surplus, whioh gives it tremendous reserve power in a prolonged straggle. At market prices, the 8115,000,000 capital of Tom Boott is worth just about the same as Gar rett's 826.000,000, with his surplus sdded. The Titans are about of a size, bat the Baltimore champion is in better fighting trim. From 1871 to 1873, Germany took from France 847.000,000 francs in gold, a eum exceeding by ?180,001) nil the gold Imported into Europe during that period from Australia, Mexico end California. With this gold Bismarck established the new German ooiuage, with its new gold piece, the mark, worth twenty-five francs, or an English sovereign. The same gold is coming back to France in the abape of ingots, whioh are converted into twenty franc piece*, and the joy of the Frenoh press is greet. It is rather curious that Germany oonatantly owes France for Soode received, and tbet ehe must pay er in the very gold which France sent to Germany when paving tbe in? demnity._ Another adopted sitixan of Charles? ton, Mr. Wra. Shepherd, departed this life a few days ego. Keeping Lbnt.?This quaint Lenten poem* written by Robert Herrlok more than 300 years ago, points amorsi as Tamable now as It wss theo: I Is this a fast to keep - i j The larder leans, And oleane J From fat of veale and sheep? Is it to qoit the dish Of flesh, yet still To fill The platter high with fish? Is it to fast an hoore, Or ragged to go. Or show A downcast look nnd sonre? No; 'tis a fast to dole Thy sheet of wheat And meat Uuto the hungry eoule. It in to fast from strife, From all debate, And hate; To ciroamoise tby lifo. To show a heart grief-reut, To starve tby sin, ! Not bin; And that's to keep thy Lent. Some men who were sinking a well at Portland, Dakota, the other day, came npon a big open space, about I thirty feet down, aud when the drill was withdrawn tt hot steam began to pour out aud has oontiuued to escape ever since. The snow has boeu melted for about a half mile around the well, aud tho air and earth being very warm, wolves and other wild animals congro gate there at night to escape from tho oold. The well is a great curiosity to the people of that oountry, aud no explanation of the strange phenomoua has yet been offered. Vioo-Preeident Wilson it getting along tolerably well with his laborious effusion, "History of tho Ris? and Fall of the Slave Power iu tho United States." Ho has just concluded the first half the third volume. It is re? ported that he will get through with three volumes, but some of his Radical friends want him to wait awhile nnd see if that "rebel yell" will not re? establish slavery and compel him to spin his dreary tslu through five or six volumes. He proposes to treat largely j of tho Civil Rights Bill in the tbird volume. Sartoris (President Grant's English > 8on-in-htw) created quite a sensation at tho Washington gymnasium, a few 'days ago, by gutting the best of a set j to with the "professor" of spsrring at thut institution, a burly ex-pugilist I known as "Charley Collius," tho I "Oast-irou Mau." Tba chagrined pro I fessor appointed another meeting, at I which be fared no better, and the I athletic Englishman is indisputably the lion of the day among tbe musou lar young gentlemen of the various foreign legations who frequent the gymnasium. When we consider tbe prevalenoo of the custom to dub everybody who wont to tho wars with tbe title of Cap? tain, Colonel, General, &o., there is a peculiar appropriateness iu the follow? ing resolution, whioh was introduced at a meeting of Confederate soldiers at Atlanta, Ga., the other day: Jits soloed. That the President appoint a committee of one to inquire iuto the matter of whether there were any sur? viving privates of the late wur. Van Diemau's Land has its grass? hopper plague, and iu Deoomber? early summer thore?tbe district where they are was stripped of every green thing, und even olotbiug and leather were devoured. The only hope of tbe remainder of tho oountry was in tbe starvation of tbe insects before they reaobed maturity. It is said that there are in existence tbres imperial loans contracted by the Empress, tho total of whioh is 32,500. 000 francs, or;86,500,000. These bear no interest and are only payable upon the restoration of the Empire; and then are to bo paid ten times their face, that is to say, 325,000,000 francs, or 865,000,000. A steamer is being transported from St. Cr.oix River to the Red River of the North. It lies on,three oars, rest? ing on blocks and rollers. It will be taken through on Sundays, when no trains are out, its width making it im? possible to pass another train on the turnout track. Zanzibar advices report that a fleet of British men-of-war bombarded and captured Fort Mozambique, on the Island of Mombay, off tbe East coast of Africa. Tbe engagement lasted five hours, and the garrison lost seventeen killed end fifty wounded. Two slave ships, with 300 slaves aboard, were captured. A man who bad served a twelve years sentence in tbe State Prison at Auburn, N. Y., absolutely refused to depart, and tbe jailer, to get rid ol him. sent bim to sweep the side-walk, and then looked tbe doors on him. He made many attempts to break in, but finally gave it up and went away. Among the passengers by tbe Pacific mail steamer Arizona, from Panama and way ports, which arrived at San Francisco on Friday, are forty-fivs Sisters of Charity, expelled from Coli ma and Guadalajara. An open knife, seven inohes long, was found in the stomach of a ? de? praved oow recently slaughtered iu Vermwnr. 'd Every bone in the body of the yonng man, Thomas MoMebon, (who suicided st the Oapitol. in Washington, a few dsys ago,) was splintered. Kalakana is; doubtless, home ere this, and gettlpg mixed no under the cross-questioning of Mrs. Kslakaua. In regard to tbe tax on whiskey, that's easily rectified. It is said that this inscription is on tomb-stone in the old barring Eround of Frederioksburg,Vs.: "Hexe es the body of Ed ward Holder, prac? titioner in physio and ohixjergjery. Borq in Bedfordshire, England, in the ' of our Lord 1548. Was oentem-I y with and one of the pall-bearers | to tfae body of William Sbaktpeare. After a brief illness bis spirit asoended in the year of onr Lord 1618, aged fifty-six." IGen. James Longstreet has aban? doned Louisiana and the fortunes of the Kellogg party, and has bonght a farm in White Oonnty, Qa., where he proposes to engage largely in sheep raising. From Alabama we learn that Mr. Edward Smith, a negro, on the jury of the Oity Court in Montgomery, waa pat on the oity ohaingang for 104 days for stealing hogs. His place on the jury is vacant. Where are the troops? Vermont clergymen are never per? mitted to kiss the ladies tLey have just made brides. The dear creatures pat up their hands with the remark: "There, that'll do. I've seen you fellows afore." A passenger train on the Air Line Railroad was stoned, near Seneca, a few nights ago, und a passenger seri? ously injured. This is not the first ] time this crime has been committed near the same place. John Mitchell has intnied an address to tbu Tipperary electors, presenting j himself agaiu for Parliament. A public mooting iu Tipperary bus resolved to support him. It is bolievtid that be will have no opposition. At the opera house, last eveuing, some oue shouted "Duwu iu front," whureupon iivo young meu instinot ively felt of their upper lip.'. \Danbury New*. His name is Tbomtis Durroo, and he I is Chief Justice of Rhode Island. He has asked the Logislaturo to reduce hie salary beoanso it was too high. He deserves to have it doubled. Washington's birth-day was cele? brated in ante-bellum atyle by the [ Charleston military. There were speeches, etc., iu the evening, at Hi? bernian Hall. Wohl Brothers' glne works, cover? ing eight acres, at Thirty-first street aud Lancaster avenue, Chicago, are burned; loss 8400,000; insurance only 886,000.
