COIi?MBt?. S. C. Towiar MoTnlnf,Maroh 16,18TO. Tb* AUiIre?? for the Removal of the Trtmnrer. The General Assembly is again at its post, prepared by several days' rest to enter upon the consideration of the address for the removal of the State Treasurer. It ie to be hoped that all parties will com? to this work with olean hands and houest purpose. We have recognized that there wsb a strong showing of irregularity agaioBt this officer, and that so far be has failed to answer in a satisfactory way. But the proceedings have now taken a shape which makes it practicable for him to nae the amplest powers for his vindication. He has able oounsel, the jight to produce records, books and vouchers of all the publio offices; in short, he'hae the opportunity to show the transactions of his bureau and to explain his own oondoot in its manage? ment, -if, the oharges are frivolous, it can be made to appear. If they are grave, but the Treasurer innocent of them, that oan be abundantly proven. Some objection, we observe, has been expressed against the limit of time fixed upon by the Special Joint Com? mittee. If that objection should be insisted upon, if nine hours ahould not be found sufficient for the argu? menta of hie counsel, and the produc -tion ofejl ueoeasary and pertiaenj tes? timony in his behalf, the time eugbt to be .crooned. * As a man, the Trea? surer is entitled to a foil and fair oan rassing of his case; as one of the exe? cutive, officer* of the State, he should* not be denied any fair means to estab? lish the integrity and dignity of hie part of the Administration. This is a publio matter,' in whiph. no private loelinga or .personal interests ahould enter. Every man ohorged with any responsibility in connection with it Bhoold approach it in a judicial epirit, free from accusation, and* be as ready and willing to allow justice to Che party arraigned as to demand it for the State. The argument of our contemporary, of this oity, that, because frauds have been charged by the committee against the Treasurer, and: they have not bronght in artioles of impeachment against him, for having been engaged in them, therefore, the present pro? ceeding .has no ground upon which to stand, and must fall of its own Weight, proves too much. The utmost that oan be made of it is, that there is not in the oharges aptl specification^ an. exaot adaptation of punishment ande? signed to the offence whioh is charged. But if the oharges justify impeach? ment, they all the more justify an addresser removal* Upon thu .point we n|ticj that Governor Ohumberlatn. has suTSsUntiiilly approved that mode of proceeding, where he says ofit, that it ia/'probably now the only way to bring ^ the whole oase .tq a point where ?instico can be done.'/ The dis? tinction whioh the Union-Harold makes in another place, between the right of the General Assembly to remove an executive officer by a two-thirds vote for aq address of removal, the final act of removal, of course, to bo made by the Governor, and the right of the Governor so to remove "on the address of two-thirds of eaoh House," is one without a differen.ee. It is only the oandemnatiou whioh is conveyed in the two-thirds vote of the General As? sembly for removal whioh is potent to effect it, although the final act is to be consummated by the Executive. We noticed very early in this oontrp versy, that Treasurer Cardoz? meant to have the investigation of thechargee against himself discounted as bo muoh opposition* to the State Administra? tion. We saw no necessity for accept? ing this construction then, and we see none now, or in the future, so long as candid searoh for the troth tn the case, a regard for the interests of the State and the observance of tho pribtriple of striet justice towards the Treaanjrer, shall not be vieJratad or compromised. Looking at Ijhi vote whioh we* '-given for the oomnWtee to draw ?p #?V;*d dress, we ha^e; a right to aay, ?bat although it conHanied some tmrjoeitnSn to the GovenjttaVil ftlaV M Ifeftt included Mll^ttrsDgthr fteoutaovu the beat men 4n both House* and of both partiea?-the very man who stand a wall of defence and protection around him. ?is reoentnet In placing himself so unreservedly by the tide) o2 the Treasurer,* Will induce the Ooneerva tive elements of the General Assembly to review ttjfB whole matter most oare;-; fully and to weigh it dispassionately. They wffltnfs^n/ of tho eminent'counsel who am to ap? pear for ^"gi^i^^lb-^ptj^r. per ru?peot, and they will give its joet weight to every particle of evidence which may be presented in hie behalf. They will be more tjjan pleased to ac? quit, if grounds ate shown upon which tbey may do it. They will adhere to the position already takes, if, after foil consideration, tbey shall conceive it to be their doty. Bat it mast not be un? derstood, and no one has the right so to understand, that a vote for the ad? dress, or a vote of want of confidence in the Treasurer, is also a vote of want of confidence in the Executive. It is morally certain that such vote upon the address, if it correspond to the rote cast for the committee to frame it, will not be in pursuance of a "conspi? racy to knock down one of tbe strong? est pillars of the preseut reform ad? ministration." As things go on, how? ever, if developments of this kind should be made, if, contrary to the ex? pectations wu dow express, the reform policy of the Governor should appear to be pat in peril by e factious and oorropt opposition gathering head 'ander a false guise, then ell the best elements of the State of nil parties and colors should rally to his support and save the system which is now oar best hope and chief selianoe. In that event, tho interest of self-preservation will be strenger than the correction of an evil whioh will appear small in com? panion with it. We are free to say that we have Eeen no suoh signals in the present investigation. . Ass Independent Movement, Wo have not yet seen a full report of the action of tha convention which met in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 11th instant. Its purpose was to take ini? tial steps to organize a new financial and political" departure upon the "Basis of Union," whioh was promul? gated from Indianapolis on November 25th, and which calls for: "A monetary system based npon the faith and resources of the nation in harmony with the genius of tbe Go? vernment and adapted to tbe demands of legitimate business. To thin end the circulating notes of all national and State banks, an well as all local currency, should be withdrawn from circulation, and a paper money issued by the Government directly to the people, without the intervention of any system of banking corporations, which money shall be a legal tender in pay? ment of all debts, public and private, duties on imports included. This money to be interchangeable, at the option of tbe holders, with registered Government bonds, bearing a rate of interest not exceeding 3.65 per cent, per annum." It appears to aim at the founding of a national Greenback Parly as the panacea for our ills, and to unite all the reformatory elements in tbe two great national parties against them both, under the name of the National Independent party. Amongst others who have responded to the call of the Executive Committee aud given their views of the movemeut is Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, of Cokesbury, and known favorably in the North-west as one of thn Executive Committee of the National Grunge. We give an ex? tract or two from his letter, whioh we find iu tho Indianapolis Sun, of tho 6th instant. Ue says: ?'Why it was that the North ever submitted to tho national bank law, has always been an enigma to me. The South hud no voice in the enact? ment. The South is peculiarly agri? cultural, and yet the best gilt-edged agricultural paper cannot seoure a loan from any national bank in tho South. This practice, so averse to tbe 'good of all the people,' is of itself sufficient to condemu this law, even if it had in its conception any feature to commend it. Before the war, my own little State bad a banking capital of $30, 000,000, und with the bills of the Bank of the State of Sonth Carolina in 1859 and I860, I paid hotel bills in Boston, Cincinnati und New Orleans without a discount. To-day, we have a banking capital of barely 85,000,000, whioh is almost entirely confined to specula? tion, and is freqnently so soaroe that there is not money enough in the country to move our crops. Only last fDecember, my own individual crop lay here on the merket until money [oonld be brought from New York with whioh to pnrobaae it. Now, to I my mind, those facts alone prove in? oontestably, that we cannot think of 'specie basis,' not most have oheaper currency. . I cap uonooive o? no better I method of procuring sdoh a currency than by advocating the policy as set forth in your 'Basis of Union.'" I The suggestion et the close of the next extract is a good one. If adopted, it wonld go far towards restoring the Union as it was: * "We most pnnish corruption; we I mu?t destroy monopolies; we most cheapen money; we must multiply the [ facilities for transportation; we mast curb patty spirit; we must destroy sec? tional prejudices; we must purify the press; we most restrain the centralizing tendency of the ExeoatWe end legisla? tive bran oh es of our Government; we must oreate a more correctly informed public opinion, by edifying the masses; and we must inform the world, and prove the truthfulness of the informa? tion, that there Is one people able and Willing and determined to govern themselves. Until all this fa done, we cannot re-establish onr former or edit, both at home end abroad, and witbont this we cannot be a thriving people. The sorest way to effect this end, in' my judgment, (please pardon the pre? sumption,) wontd be, build op a peo? ple's party, upon whose banner would be insoribed two names in-the cam? paign of 187G?one from tue North and one from the Boath." Louisville Courier Journalisms.? "The Christian Union stakes its life," says an exchange, "upon Mr. Bench? er's innocence." Then it is about time for parties wishing tn attend the funeral of tho Christian Union to begiu to grease their boots for the occasion. They say tbat the Rev. Mr. Hum mood, tbe great revivalist, who went to California some time since to re? deem the people of tbat State from the wrath to com", has eicoo made u for? tune by speculating in stocks, and bas quit preaobing. Brother Hammond is persuaded, we presume, that, as a rich man, it will be about as hard for him to get to Heaven as it would be for a needle to go through the cyo of a camel, and that he will have as much as he oau do to save his own soul with? out fooling sway his time in trying to save other people's. The New York Commercial Adver? tiser, speaking of the illegality of min? ing operation! iujthe Black Hil'8, says "General Sheridan will not be long in setting matters to right " Very likely, if any butchering is called for; bnt before Sheridan goes to tbe Black Hills and runs the risk of a campaign, would it not be better for him to give the publio that "bill of particulars" about the 4,000 murders?political murders?in Louisiana? It would bo sad to have Sheridan go down to bis lonely grave with a lie on his head. The Chicago Inter-Ocean qn<?tes from a private letter from a Northern "gentleman" ut Helena, Ark.: "Times are simply terrible here; all confidence is destroyed* animosities, reveugeful ness and persecution prevalent every? where; no safety, no justice, uo sympa? thy for any one born North of Mason and|pixon's line." Terrible times in? deed! And tbe worst of it is, they won't give this "gentleman" a chance, it would aeem, to steal money enough to pay his way to a place of safety! The Government is under a solemn pledge to the' Indians to keep all miners off their reservation among the Black Hills; and yot six or eight hun? dred white men are now digging gold among those reserved oolorud emi? nences, and laughing conaumedly at tho idea that the Government has u sufficient military force to drive them out and guard the Louisiana Legisla? ture at the same time. We heartily deprecate tho use of violent language, but we mint say, nevertheless, that these miners are treating the United States Government and its army in a mauuer that is disingenuous, not to say cowardly. The ice gorge on the Dolawarc must be a beautiful, although a terrible Might, and the people at Port Jervis are watching it with feverish anxiety. A correspondent from that town writes that its formation is very irregular. In some places great blocks of ice have evidently become firmly planted in tbe bed of the river, and these havo served as piers from oue to auother, of which arches havo formed, several feet abova tho water, up bearing tbe great dome-shaped mass. Sicco the ico has settled deeper into tho bed of the rivt'r, the locality of these arches is marked by great hummocks on the surface of the glacier. It is very dan? gerous walking on the glacier, eiuco the deep covering of snow hides from view tbu many rifts and holes bctvvecu tho cakes of ice, some of which ex? tend twenty feet or more downward. Tho surfaco is very irregulur, being intersected iu every dircctiou by sharp ridges with deep depressions betwecu them, iu the bottom of which suritice water baa collected in considerable quantities. The bed of the river is full of rocks and shoals, and tbe'-e have served at shoulders to hold the ioo more iirmly, as tbe prossure from above drives it down. Science is en? deavoring to avert the calamity to the peaceful towu that appears so inevita? ble. On Wednesday experiments were mado with glycerine and giant powder, and the main mas?, a block 100 feet square, wbb blown out and sent float? ing down the river, amid the enthusi? asm of the spectators. Pieces of eolid ico twelve inches thiok were thrown more than 100 feet into tbe air by the explosion. Strennons efforts are being mads to protect the suspension bridgo from harm, great iron piers being built in front of it to enable it to with? stand tbe terrible pressure it must endure. Soienoe, however, will find a dangerous antagonist in nature, and it is and to reflect upon the loss of pro? perty, and perhaps life, that most result from the severity of the past winter, John Mitchell.?Mitchell has again contested the representation of Tip perary. This time he has a Conserva? tives opponent, and thongh folly one third Of tbe constituency, including the rich tradesmen and the Oatholio clergy, absented themselves from the polls, Mitchell is thought to have sc? oured a majority of about 1,000 votes. It ia probable that Mr. Moore, the Conservative, will be deolared elected by the Hohse of Commons. The Home Rulers will thne have lost one of the moat important seats iu Ireland, through Mr. Mitchell's very ill-advised oandidaey. A Missouri woman lived twente three years with three pins roving through her wasted frame. TjBS aew?8t?ent OF the DlFFIOUIi tum er thk charleston cotton mar? ket ?After nearly (oar days' suspen? sion of the aaaal business in ear chief staple, owing to disagreements be? tween tbe buyers and sellers, tbe points of difference were . arranged about midday on Saturday lust, after a full interchange of views on both aides. Tbe matters at issue have been care? fully considered and fairly and fully discussed, and tbe result can hardly be otherwise than satisfactory not only to the great body of our own cottuu dealers, but to our oustotuers in the in? terior as well us in Europo and ut the North. The c ireful scrutiny which will bo given to the weighing, wbilo it may unt prove any more successful in arriving ut whut the weight of cotton may be when delivered across the Atlantic or elsewhere than under the old system, will at least show that every possible uudeavor has been m id.' to deal fairly with our customers. Tho following were the results arrived at: Until tbe 31st of August next, or the end of tbo old crop year, outton j will be sold and delivered in this mar? ket as heretofore. From and after the first of September, 1875, or tbe begiu ning of the new crop yeur, ootton wiil be sold by delivery weight, when the buyer shall have the privilege of im? mediately reweighing it with the beam toale, and should any difference occur in reference to the weight be? tween tbe sworn weigher and tbe weigher of the buyer, that difference shall be submitted ut once to a third weigher, whose decision shall be final. The adoption of these rules by our cottob dealers will, it is believed, muke the practice iu the market nearly perfect, and give a further impetus to the already greatly increasing business at this port. I Charleston Neies and Courier. Tbe Legislature of North Carolina having recently passed a law to amend the charter of the city of Wilmington, which law re-orgnaized the wards of the city aod required a registration of voters iu the respective election pre oincts, thereby preventing illegal vis? ing, and giving to the tax-payers of tbe city a voice in the election of of? ficers of the municipal government, now in tbe control of tbe carpet-bag? gers, tbe latter petitioned Judge Bond, of the United States Court, for a writ of injunction restraining the registrars and poll-holders front registering voters or holding an election under the amend? ed charter. Tbe petition ulleged seve? ral frivolous objections to the new charter and against the registration law, which the petitioners intimated would lead to violence if enforced. Judge Bond refused to grunt the iu juuotion?suys he know." of no case where a court of equity has interfered by icjnnotiou to prevent an election upon general grounds of fear common to all the citizens, even if tho ltw under which it was about to be held was clearly unconstitutional. If tbe elec? tion be illegal, a writ of quo tcarranto is open to them. If it be legal, aud anybody bo deprived of rights under the fifteenth or fourteenth amendments to the Constitution, his court is open, and tbe complainants und others may cause proceedings under laws of Con? gress. Tbe decision gives great sotis faotiou to the people of Wilmington. Lady Mordaunt Guilty ?The cable has already announced that tbe jury iu the great English matrimonial seusution?the Mordauut divoree case ?has rendered a verdict, finding Lady Mordauut guilty of adultery.* It will be remembered that nu effort was made to prevent Sir Charles Mordaunt obtaining a divorce, on tho ground of bio wife's insanity. Iu order to shut out p. child be bud good reason to believe illegitimate from succession to the Mordaunt title und estates, be per? sistently sought legal redress, and has at leugtb triumphed. The appearance of the heir presumptive to tbe Eng? lish throne iu the case gave tho scan? dal unusual iuterest for tho people, as it seemed likely at one period that tho Prince of Wules would be joined as co-respondeut. This expectation was, however, defeuted by tho Prince ap? pearing as u witness aud swearing positively taut, though he hud visited tho lady very frequently, their rela? tions bad never gouo beyond the bounds of friendship. Tbe verdict aguiust Lady Mordauut is u severe biow to several noble bouses in Eog lund, nu her three sisters?all remarka? ble for their beauty?are married to great territorial nobles. New HAMPsnir.e.?The clouds which at first hung over tbo returns from this State, cleared np in an absolute- Demo? cratic victory. Two out of the three Congressmen the Democrats have, and the Republican candidate for Governor fails of an election by tho people, and has to lcok to tbe Legislature. We may well suppose that tbe office? holders made the election a life end death straggle. It was everything to them; while there was no very extra? ordinary personal interest to bring ont tbe Democratic strength. Then the anti-liquor party whioh had slongbed off from tbe Republicans last year, had fosnd oat that the; could make little headway without standing by the Republican parky, whioh was the plsee of refuge for all monstrous isms and fanattsisms of the land. Theyretnrned meekly book to their natural a!!ian?e, and, as they very nearly held the balanco of power, they wore felt in their hostility to tbe Democrats. An insane man blew bis brains oat on a train on tbe Northern railway, near Concord, N.

Quick Work.?On Sunday night, the gauge of the North Carolina Rail? road, for ninety miles, was ehanged between 11' o'clock and day-light, to' correspond with the gauge ot the Atlanta Air Line.

It is thonght the trank will be cleared in time for thie morning's' trains to pass. The passenger train over the Wilming? ton, Colombia and Augusta Railroad did uot arrive until nearly 12 o'clock, last night. The cause of the deten? tion was the partial undermining of a trestle, about nine miles below Colom? bia, from a broken mill-dam. When the water went down, the trestle was repaired and the train passed over safely. Feaufwx Stone ?We learn that a fearful wind storm, accompanied by hail, occurred in the Mill Greek neigh? borhood, yesterday afternoon. Tbe dwelling of Mr. Padgett, on the Wil? mington, Columbia and Angnsta Bail road, sbont nine mil's below Colum? bia, was blown down, bat fortunately none of tbe inmates wore injured. Tho mill-house, about fifty yards from the dwelling, was blown iuto tbe pond and a colored man bad bis ankle broken. A wagon and team were also blown into tbe pond* and two of the ani? mals drowned. Tbe cotton screw was also blown down. Wo could hear of no further damage, although, from tho accounts of tbe tremeudous force of tho gale, there must bare been great destruction iu its pathway. Trees were twisted and torn up by tbe roots, while others were cat down as though with an aze. Mr. Padgett is truly un? fortunate, as it is only about two years since bis mill was destroyed by fire.
