WEDNESDAY, miVUT 14. 1M?. ty It is that person* having advertisement* or oiher lavom to est an a to tha Em tnrpruit, will hard thorn to to tha o.lica by Tuesday, 11, M. m ? ? ? Bill to Afford tha AM of the Stata Credit to tha Oman Til la and Columbia Ballroad. Thi? important bill, whieh Governor f*?nrr raw lit to disapprove, liaa b*? wisely passed over bla vs*o by both braaahaa of tha Legislatnra, and braonsa a law. Tha T.tta in tha Sonata waa mora than twothirds for tha bill, aad ia tha Baosa overwhelming, baing 87 to 14. Thus wa true* this vast property has been saved frcoa da |iruwion? inc ounv iruiu vrnuu* ubhhij^t:? and lomo sharks, perhaps, disappointed of their prey. The measure, instead of weak* enine tIte credit of lb# State, will go lar to uataln It. It will show that tbe legislature has sense eootigli not to throw away it* large interest in the Road, nor needlessly t<? put it in jeopardy, or to sacrifice tits hard earned property of the men, women and children of this State. Got. Soott was hadly advised when he wrote that veto message. We are of opinion that there must have been some of " the privy council" who were anxious to sacrifice the Greenville and Columbia Rallrcad just now, and biing it Into a forced market, by withholdIngState countenance; not because "the bill** would hurt the State, or because they feared the Road would not prosper, but precisely the reveres. They saw " the Blue Ridge " in lha distance, and fait eonvinoed that Its health giving influenue would resuscitate and strengthen the Greenville and Columbia Railroad ; its bonds and stock would so expand iu value that they would not be a'de to swallow the whole concern, aa they d-slred to do. The Governor, being a blunt, military man, wholly unsuspecting, and not used to the wilea of speculators, was made to believe the most absurd things. We, however, congratulate the country that tbe Legislature has shown the spirit sod intelligence to maintain a measure which affords every reasonable proa pect of brlug a great public benefit, and saving from complete rulti many eitixens who built tbe Road, either direct 1y by taking stork, or indirectly by purchasing the bonds issued to procure the money. .Anniversary Oration before M The Eioelaior Beading Society.' Delivered by J. P. Boyce, D. D. There wee a brilliant array of ladles and gentlemen assembled with the Excelsior So eiety, on Friday evening leal, (In the New Court House Ilnll,) to listen to the address of Rev. J P. Bovca. The sut j -et, as previously announced in the papers, was " Per feet Womanhood as aeen in the idea] Por trot*urea of Eve." We have seldom heard a leoture which gave such general saliefac lion, or one which enehained more perfectly the admiring attention o| the audience.? Dr. Boycr has added to the view of many a new feature to his scholastic reputation, which was already high for extensive and solid attainments in theology, general eel ence and literature. But few were aware of his having cultivated so well Ids taste for the poetical, and that he possessed such critical and just appreciation of the great roasters of song, as he evinced in h:t fatnil iari'y and criticisms concerning their " idea] portraitures.'* The object ot the addresi was to illustrate the subj-et, hy critical ci tations from Hilton, and other poets, and from Mrs. Browkino, with pertinent comments of his own. which he did with fini etf'Ot. W# attempt no outline of the ad dress. Dr. R, was so'ie.ted by many t< content to iu publication, l>ut declined fui want of time, at present, to prepare It foi the press. It would wrll adorn the page of some of our beat periodicals. The Ex eelsior is entitled to the thanks of this emu munity for furnishing occasions for aucl addresses for our intrllctual enlertaiunaen and improvement. ? . ? Iterator Sawyer, of South Carolina.

Thir affair < now u arranged to eome off' in the New Treasarr building nt Waahlngton, despite the first refusal of the Senate and the protect of " the Methodiat" in the North. The people have built a magnificent houie for tho Treasury ornate, with variegated marble, gilding and painting, etc., (assuming the Govern* ment to l-e the people,) and the Aral uae to he mode of it Is a ball. We do not wonder lbs' this Is n little shocking to the religious sense of the country, but Northern preachers, who mix politics in their sermons and party venom ought to be the first to tolerate the lesaer evil of dancing in a national building, although' we admit that the thing la objectionable to a large and respectable portion of the good people of the whole connlry. Air-Line ltall Road. The Town of Greenville it on the lino of tb? Railroad projected from Atlanta direct to Charlotte, North Corolina, and the work ia even now commenced. Twenty miles of the road extending from Atlanta is now under contract, to be finished by April next. It is high time the citixens of this part of the country were bestirring themselves to take that interest in the work that becomes its im portance, Oreenville ia remarkably situated for a great crossing place of railroads, na it has been of s'age and wagon roods. The eelebratcd Warrkn R. Davis use I to say that Oiecnville was Ihe cross rood of the world, alluding to the current of travel through it from all quarters of the country. The reason is obvious, tbe place is just that distance below Ihe mountains occupying the first step of the plain country, is more easily intersected with level routes thau tbe region a few milea bolow or n few utiles above. The prospect is favorable for tbe Air-Line Road, therefore, to be located by our Town, but the citixens should be on the look out. When shall we have a meeting on this subject? It does not concern the Town alone, but tbe entire District of Greenville, which is largely benefitted by every increase of tbe facilities of trade, and I the growth of population, in a central marketStores In tbe Co.intry.

The Washington correspondent jf the Few York lltralH telegraphs as follows, concerning the reception by President Grant of kit commission : One of the most important ceremonies that has yet occurred in connection with the incoming administration was performed, to- day, when Oencral Grant was officially informed by Congress of his election as President of thn United States. For the past day or two, everybody has shared In the general excitement created by the discussion of, and speculations upon, what Grant woatd aay upon this i interesting occasion. It was gsnerally supposed that fas would disclose te the favored few, who might then be admitted into bis presence, not only the names of the geatleasen whom be had concluded to Invite into his Cabinet, but that bo would talk freely of bis plana and intentions concerning bit approaching administration. Notwithstanding tba univernal lutcreit manifeatad to learo theee highly important facta, bo???cr, tbera wcra hut few people gathered at army headquarter* when the Congressional Committee arrived, although It had been extensively published that the committee were to be received et II o'oloek this morning. Aboat balf-a-doton frequenter* of army headquarters, principally offioers ia the War Department, and two or three newspaper correspondents, wero in waiting when the committee arrived, which was thirty minntes earlier thaa the hoar appointed. Senator Morton and Representatives Wilson, of Iowa, and Pruyn, of New York, were ushered into the hall leading to the General's office, the two former bearing In their hand* lb* commissions of the President sad VicePresident elect. The committee were at nuee conducted up stairs to the General's office, followed by a number of Gcnersls, the officer* of Grant's s'aiT, and the reporters of the press ?about thirty in all. The members of the committee seated themselves, while the small circle of auditors ranged tbemsclves around the room. After the lapse of about five minutes. General Grant entered from an adjoining room, uently attired In black frock coat, vest and pantaloons, p'ain skirt bosom, turned down collar,'blsek silk neck-tie, bigbly polished boots, sud glossy silk bat. On this occasion the General bad prevailed upon himself to dispense with his inevitable cigar. He passed through tbe opening made in the circle of bystanders to tbe chair in fVont of hie desk, removing bis hat as be did so. I)e then shook bands witb Senator Morton, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Prnyn. When tbe General had taken bis stand beside his ehair, Senator Morton arose and said ! "On*. Gbast: The joint committee appointed by tbe two lionses of Congress visit you this tworning to notify you, officially, that you btve been elected President of tbe United Slates fur tbe term of foor years froin toe 4th day of March next. Tbo great body of your country men hail your election with delight, and even those who did not support you at the polls, entertain for von the highest confldenoe and respect. The friends of our country, and the frivuds of liberty throughout the world, rqjoico in your elevation to tho Presidency, and all believe that y?u will bring to the performance of your great du'ies unalloyed patriotism, unimpeachable integrity, great powers of intellect, and all tbe high qualities which enabled you to achieve each distinguished success in another sphere of duly. They have full faith in your ability and virtues, and cherish the highest hopes of your Success, and that during your administration tbe work of reconstruction will be completed, the wounds ol civil war healed, and that our country will take a new departure in growth, progress and prosperity." At the conclusion nf Mr. Morton's address, , General Grant turned the roll nf paper which tie held in his hands, round and round, as though endeavoring to reduce it to the smallest sited roll possible, and hesitated hnt a moment or two, when he begun bis reply in a tone s<> low as to he inaudible to those standing at the most dlstsat pert ef tbe room, and a general closing in of tbe perty occurred, each individual of wbicb leaned eagerly forward to cntcb every word that fell from the itps m nitr future ihtcf Magistrate. Turning to Krnstor Morgan, General Grant said t " In reply, I will inform the committee that it will l>e my earnest endeavor to rail around me ?a my assistants men who will carry ont the principloa which you e.iy the eounlry desires to have sneered?rienotny, retrench uicnt, faithfvl collection of the revenue, end pnyment of the pnhlir doht. If I should fail in making my first choice of assistants, I should not hesitate to mako a second, or even a third trial, in the hope that I should at last be successful. In the matter of removals, I will ho governed alone hy the neeessltiea of the service. I should just as soon remove from their positions my own appointees as I should those of my predecessor. There Is on* other matter it may he prcper to mention here, for it inay be that something of the kind is expected of iwc, that ie, in regard to the composition of my Cabinet. I have always felt that It would be iudelieale, on my part, to announce tho*e whom I intended to invlt* into my Cabinet, or even to consult in regard to their srieetkoa, until I had been officially | informed of ray election, bat did intend to d* o at this time. Now, however, after ohservai tion and reflect km, I bare come to the conclusion that there ie not a man in the e entry whom I could Invite to my Cabinet who would i not, immediately after the announcement, b* the object of all kinds of adverse critioietas, in 1 the hope to prevent his selection and eon? , fir mat km, area among my own friende and l those of the party which elected me. Many ! would attempt ta change mv determination. I have, therefore, concluded not to mek* ' known, even to the gentlemen themselves, the names of the Cabinet oflkcert nntil I send their . nominations to the Senate. If I should notify the gentlemen at all, whom I may ehooee, in ' advance ef their nominations, it would not h* I more than two or thme da/s previously." a. ? .. n i n ?> 1 ? mm uruciw oniBI Dan CWN ? f1fKR lug, am} all wan eoavinced that ba bad bo ' mora to asy, Mr. Prayn stepped forward, and * looking at the General, aai<f : r "Gknbrai.
