Anr'sB Address S* tti? a?.riior, DtmMdlag the TftMUtfl Re-| ?eavsrt, In the House of Representatives, yesterday, ihm entire morning boar was taken np in e continued diaous sion of the report of the Special Joint Committee end of Mr. Barker's mo? tion to appoint e committee to pre? pare en eddreee to the Governor, de? manding the removal fiooa office of the State Treasurer. Messrs. Nesbitt, Humbert, Simkins, Myers, Trenbolm, Hamilton, ?eattte, Meetze, Hayne, Barnwell and Bray ton were all beard upon the sobjeot. Mr. Humbert was loth ? to oondemo tbe Treasurer, with whom he aaid be was friendly, and ?hc did act owe him a dollar, bat his oondaot to ; the oommittos was far from sweet?it was enough "to tarn e besin of sweet milk into clabber." Neither did he like tbe behavior of the ex Obai roten Of theJSonate Committee j on Finance, who had defied the sum moos of the oommittee end would not appear before it. Mr. Simkins would oppose the resolutions, beoause they ere not in aooordanoe with tbe report. Tbe lather makes a grave oharge against tbe Treasurer, euch as, if true, ought to be visited with tbe severest gtunishnunt; bat the resolutions only igo to the extent of bis rsmoval tfrosa.

Mr. Trenbolm, amid broath ieseaiienoees*thB mteaseer interest, delivered a speech, whioh carried con viotion to every mind, and sottled the case against the, Treasurer. . It was evident thkt ?^ied'artlve? at hit con olusions wtth greetr*Jrue\anee^Th'ut his prepossessions had besu in favor of the Vrtiasurer,, apd that his earnest du eire On thief, account end on other ao oonuts, bad been to find him without blame,in this matter. Mr. Hemilton sai<0bat je^rj|aiaed.^tbe; whole] aoheflsf Aal? aMs^k>msinng affair.) There base been no measures paseed this session wbioh bad any money in them, end certain members had been driven to the expedient of ' falling aboard the portly Treasurer, and either oousumvig -hem, Oeneking him^pejl well for Tils escape. rMr."Beattle re? garded the proceeding as in violation of the Constitution of the State. The foaKJi 'seotioo of ertioie'*eventh spe? cifies "wilful neglect of dutv" as tbe only basis upon wbioh sooh proceed; i ng cap bS made, ' \ Wjfyul, heg loot oj duty is not malfeasance, but vim ply nonfeasanoe; it is not com? mission of weeng, but omission of right. But the oommittee make charges of frauds; whioh are crimes against the Statey-end, to be consist? ent, should havarecommeuded artiolee of impeachment: ' To this point, Mr. Meetse briefly replied, stating that tbe ohargwmainly Were of wilful neglect on tha part of the Treasurer, and the oommittee preferred to take tbe more charitable end lees humiliating course, of rOQOmmendiog a step preliminary to his removal, rather than the harsher measure of impeachment. Mr. Hayne spoke from notes in viedioation of him(tWend the Apmmittee. Mr. Bern welljexpiained tjttjnt the olanse in tbe Constitution uniar wbioh the proceed ing ?>aa. taken, was similar to one nnder^whlob, formerly, judge* snd other tffibera who might, for 6ne cause ot; another, have besome iueffi oient andiooapaQe of performing their duties, were gently removed. He did not th:nk that the ease, so tap as de veloped, jaetiaed impeachment; but the Treasurer deserved severe ?on demnatioo, more especially for his at tempt to pat e latitudinarian oonstrpo tion upon r law which oouid not poa sibly bear it, and whioh was meant to bind him, add all Others ambnable to it, strictly,^ its terms. Mr.' Bray ton, Chairovsh, at e qui^-r %9 3 o'olook, suaijt>od up the case on the part of tho S^Littoc; spsfkiag sith fairuess and ohnsidsrakion towards the accused Trejjfis^ir^ HYaabmltted that a pritna facia Showing bad bflen oon olnsively made', which justified the General Awepfbjy i* putting the Trea? surer upon his defenoe end elndioa* tion.

The hour for taking the vote*haviog arrived, Mr. Beattio mude the poiut of order, that the proceeding was irregular, because the inculpated Trea? surer bad not been allowed the consti? tutional privilege of being; heard be? fore the "vote for the address;" but the Speaker ruled it out of order, and explained that the vote now to be taken was npon the question of ap? pointing a committee to report such address, and that the privilege referred to was one that might be juetly de? manded only when the address was before the Hunan to hn voted nnnit. -.?. ?" ? - - ?

Th? Heal lsattea. s It was very well said by Mr. Meetze, in the course of bis speech, on Thurs? day night,, that Governor Chamber? lain's administration had no firmer supporters in the ranks of the Repub? lican party than it hsd among the Conservatives of the State; but it will be u difficult, thing to convinoe the Conservatives that it becomes their duty to support the apparently gross frauds perpetrated by the State Trea? surer* under the opcratious of his fa? vorite Funding Act. The attempt to divert the issue and to shield the Treasurer under'the wings of the Go? vernor, is as transparent as his at? tempted diversion of tb interest fund. It will requite a vary liberal construc? tion, indeed, to justify it. Governor Chamberlain, if ho be in Earnest, (as he unquestionably is,) has as much at stake in tbia issue as any other tax-1 payer in the State. He must live or perish by the results of his adminis? tration,* and if his ohief executive officer is allowed, nodor the specious pleu of a liberal interpretation of a statute, to swindle the already badly mulcted creditors of the State, to use the money whioh has been set apart by solemn enaotment of the Legislature for the payment of the interest on the public debt, to speculate in State paper, be should bo held to a striot accountability. If we are to have the real reform promised in that very platform which, we believe, the State Treasurer bimsslf drew np, and under which both political parties fought in the last campaign, it is as well to be? gin at onoe with the pnniBhment of those who so flagrantly violate the law and outrage the publio sentiment Mr. Gardozo's "oompteto vindication" amounts to nothing, and unless he oan make a better showing. Governor Chamberlain and his supporters will find themselves forced to relieve him of the cares of offloo and to entrust them to some one with less "train oil" about his system, and with less liberal views upon the construction of the laws'of the State. Judging from ths telegrams and the Indiana papers, there is a great amount of lawlessness about the town of Brazil, among the^mlners. Many bnildings bats been burned end other property destroyed, all because the proprietors of the mines Were talking of introduc? ing the negro into their Works. Now, the Civil Bights Bill covers just snob eases as this. It is the everlasting ory of the Radicals, that men 'who will not give wey to the negro, most be foreed to do eo. It ie an excellent thing, that not only in Indiana, bat in other Northern States, the' Radicals have saeb s field for coercion. A bit of co? ercion in the North, will bring those people to their senses. Grant means to put bis soldiers at very dirty work. ?<* . ? -? IJml? lim ILM Faioar. Mahoa 5, ISIS. - ' ? :.. SENATE.- - ?

Daring tbe evening session, tbe bill relative to bills of tbe Bank of tbe State was taken np, but no aetion bad. The supplementary Civil Rights and the Forfeited Lands Bills were read third time, and titles ohanged to Acts. Grant said the other day to Mr. Frye, of the Louisiana Committee: "It is my deliberate opinion, that Phil. Sheridan is tbe greatest living or dead military man. If two of the largest countries in the world were to be engaged io a war againat each other, and were to prosecute it to the utmost limit, I know of no man living or dead, to whom I would ao soon en? trust the campaign, from the planning of it to tbe end, as to General Phil. Sheridan." If anything were wanting to oonvinoe the country of the con? tracted mental vision of the Preeident, this ebanrd declaration snppliee the vaoaam. Nspoleon, Julius Canar, and other bistorio heroes, must bide their laurels before a blustering little dragoon, whose chief distinctions of late have boon tbe burning of farm? houses and Indian wigwams and the defamation of tbe peoplo of the State of Louisiana. [Louisville Courier Journal. At the hanging of Ortwein, in Penn? sylvenie, on Tuesday, some of tbe at? tendants gratified a horrible onriosity by lifting tbe white cap just as the rope had tightened aroond his neck, revealing his face when tbe first shook of death was Uli?, It was a , sickening spectacle. The eyes started from their sockets, the tongue shot ont, sod the fsee first flushed orimson, then turned blsek, or. at least seemed to do so. The fall evidently broke bis neck, as there wes bat e slight convulsion of tbe limbs.

The grinder hu discovered that there will be several ex-Oonfederater, In the 1 next Congress who will Oooupy seats hitherto fined by loyal earpet-bsggers, and be is sure tbey will kick np an awful bobbery. Hear bim: "It is as-clear aa clear oan be that if the North does not become alive to the peril of the situation before next jeai's electioD, the Government of thin country will be in the hands of dis .loyal and trslterons men. The 'inde? pendent' and weuk kneed press of the North are largely responsible for the apathy with wbioh the people regard the politics of the day. They uro playing directly into the hands of the enemies of onion, law aud order. The time will aome when their eyes will be opened. We trast it will ' be before u national catastrophe comes; but if the people do not pay heed to the unmis? takable signs of upproaohing trouble in time to prevent it. there will be a terrible revelatiou." And iu thai terrible revelation several leading statesmen will doubtless get badly damaged, and the Government ad vertising will be redistributed. The 'weak-kneed' newspapers should think of these things. Mexican Student at Woffobd Col? lege.?Mr. Juan S. Valencia, of Mexi? co, a nephew of President Juarez, the distinguished Liberator, matriculated as a student in Wofford Oollege last week. The South Carolina Conference of the Methsdist Episoopal Churob, 8ontb, having agreed to contribute money to pay tho board nud tuition of two rjpauinh student* to be ednoated ?t Wofford College, the Board of Mis? sions, through Dr. Davi*, Superintend eut of tbe Mission iu tho City of Mexi? co, selected Mr. Valencia, as oue of the number for oollege truiuiog. Mr. Va? lencia is au Aztec, (Iudian.) though ho speaks the Spanish language. The Aztecs constitute the principal portion of tbe popolatiuo in Mexico, uud are said to be fully as intelligent as tbe Spaniards, having produced orators, jarists, artists and warriors, uble to cope with the Caucasian race. Mr. Valencia auoei properly accredited through the-offioern of the'Board of Missions, and we hope his sojourn among our people will be both pleasant aud profitable.- Sparlanburg Herald. A Washington correspondent says: Tbe expressions of tbe oolored people bere indicate that tbey have very ex? aggerated ideas of the eflVot of this bill. Mauy of them seem to imagine that they cm now order n box at the opera, a dinner at Welcker's, a section of a Pullman palace oar, or demand for their accommodation the bridal chamber at tbe Arlington, without ren? dering any equivalent. Sooh ideas as these are bouud to beget trouble, uod possibly bloodshed, before they are dissipated. A Liberal Republican Senator, iu speaking of the evil effVcts wbioh are certain to4ow from tbe bill, said that as a party measure, it was jeuicidal in the extreme. Said be: I "The Badioal party has got all tbe ne? gro votes anyhow, so it will gain no? thing in that direction. But, on tho other hand, this thing will array i against it all the railroad interests, all the hotels sod tavern-keepers, and all the theatre proprietors, and tho com? bined influeooo of these will effect thousands of votes." The Fall River strike in, fortunutely for America, a very small affdr when compared with tbe South Wales lock-1 out. There, on Monday morning. February 1, the suspension of work [ oommenoed, aud not less than 120,000 heads of families were involved in the disaster?that is direotly involved in addition to tbe effect wbioh will be in? directly produced upon almost every brand of trade and industry. These 120,000 beads of families represent about $500,000 of men, women and children. The colliers and pit laborers alone number about 70,000, the iron workers 40.000, and the mon whose employment is contingent upon these are certainly 10,000; so that there are at least 120,000 men who, after the strike declared by a portion of them, have all been "looked out" by tbe Em? ployers' Association. This state of things has lasted already for more than two weeks, and it entails misery and tosses both upon the employers and laborers. The Other Bot*?The news that tbe Prinoe Imperial has left school is very important. We have full ac? counts of this .event in the English pspers. Royal boys are iu the fashion now. Ooe eighteen-year-old lad has resigned his tops and velocipedes to beoome King of Spain. Another im? perial lad is toddling on to tho sacred throne of China. The Spanish boy wus born iu 1857, and will be eighteen next November. The yeuug Napo? leon was born in 1856, aud will be nineteen this month. Accordingly, bo is a year older than his royal bro? ther, aud we are giau iu learn that he is number seven in his class, and tbe besd of it in fenoing and riding. So that if France wants a sovereign, hero is a new Emperor ready, oil tbe vorge of bis nineteenth year, who can fence aud ride, and who will, if allowed, do as maeh for Franc?, "by the grace of God," as bis royal brother Alfonso is doing for Spain. A fatal accident occurred, last week, at Winter Seaf, in Edgefleld County, resulting in the instant death of a son of Mr. J. Holl logs worth. While at the gin of Mr. J.

A jail in Forest, Miss,, has been burned, a single prisoner oonBned in it perishing in the flames. ? The strao- < tu re was built of logs, with but ono 1 window and one door. Several men were first attracted by the shoots of the prisoner, and then the fire boret out around the door, preventing escape t by that exit. He ran to tbe window, whioh was heavily barred, end gave directions bow to rescue him. The men were unable to break tbe bare, [although they tried every practicable expedient, and the blaze, steadily near- i ing the doomed prisoner, incited them" to strennous exertion. He clang to the window after the heat had become so intense that those on the outside bad been driven away, pressing hie face between tbe bars- for air while the ? fire was catching his clothing. At last, with a tonohiog ory of despair^ bis hold loosened and be fell back into the flames. - v, Chicago, when in need of a sensa? tion, always falls back on either a fire or the Communists.
