I'll' Kepubiicau party professes to bo one of progress; the party of the people, having ilie good of the State at heart, as a motive and object paramount to all otfiers. In various platforms of its principles, adopted by that party, the encouragement of Immigration ha- been indorsed and recommended, as a most important step towards developing the resources, and building up the prosperity of the fc'tate. The Democrats have been charged with being addicted tj the -rule or ruiu" jH>licy in government, as opposed to anything which might threaten the ascendancy of certain principles, however much jt might promise to conduce to the public welfare. Now, however, that a combination of causes lias apparently turned tin tide ot immigration towards the South and those in want of work, and willing t-> labor, are trying to come among us, wo see indications of a spirit , that compel us to believe that there is a covert hostility in the Uopubiican ranks to the introduction of foreign white meu into South Caro linn. We do not believe that our State government will be so foolish and irnpoli tic as to attempt to enact any direct law for the prtvouti'a of immigration. Thi v. ould be to run counter to the spirit of the times, and to set itself in opposition to th< policy of the great natiofi to which the # party in this State owes its existence, and upon which it is dependent for support. It would seem, also, to be a confession ot a fear that the introduction of a foreign element might destroy the supremacy ot h<? ?virfv which claims to rest uoon the t?J . popular will, and which, by its intrinsic merits, should be able to attract all classes to its support. But the etfort seeuis to bi to throw cold water upou the movement, uud deter iuiwigrauts by misrepresenting the feeling of the laud holders of our State upou the subject. The Columbia Union JLroUl read several lessons full of wise suggestions to our people, as to what was their duty. The views therein expressed, wet our hearty approval, because they embodied the very policy, which the peoplewere trying to follow, ami were recommending, iu resolutions adopted at public meetings. This policy is to make settlers out of the immigrants ; encourage and as sist them to buy aud possess lands oi their own, instead of working about u.common laborers, so that they may feci at houio, identified with tho interests of the - n . 1 i 1 awl good order ofthc community in .vhich tneir lot may be cast. We are not afraid to assert that there is no uun of any sense iu South Carolina who would not rejoice to see such settlers constantly and rapidly increasing iu numbers. l>ut with this good advice, apparently kindly meant aud certainly kindly received, theft) were mingled unjust charges upon our people A stranger reading the articles of this He publican journal, would think that the land owuors were wilfully blind on this subject, and stubbornly opposed to any proposition to divide their territory with others, aud that the Union lleraltl was trying to enlighten them as to their duty iu the premises, and arouse theui to a consideration ef their own interests. The Columbia Union treats the subject in u much more hostile spirit, aud makes char ges much more calculated to prejudice tlie outside world against us. It asserts that the owners oi' land arc unwilling to sell it to thousands who are prepared to pay well for it. That the "Bourbon element," as it calls the people of the State who are not Republican, are jealous of the acquisition of property by others, because it will tend to break their power, and drive them fj^ui their exclusiveness. In short, the people who are inviting and encouraging immigrants to come among us, offering to giv.- them lunJs, or to sell 011 the most favorable terms, are described as haughty, filled with contempt for the working man, aii J jealous of the entrance of strangers.? Thorn who make these assertions, know that they are untrue; that all honest men will be welcome in South Carolina ; that lands will be cheerfully sold to all w ho can Luy ; that the working-man is as much re acted here as as in any other part of fho world; that n warm frelcomo will be extended to all who may e >uie among us. prepared to identify themselves with us. :uiu to develop the resource- of the country. The purpose of these charges, of this advice mixed with much abuse, is obvious. Ti.u org us of Kjpublicanisru think that tiie int.;esti of their party demand that iur. -ration .should La discouraged ; and a*u;j - <oTw t i.oy Jt ti;:dves to deter iui* ,?ij>rants from coining into the State, by painting u,-iy pictures I th .se with whom tin / will have to dcil. The convention jfyountr colored men, lately held at Columbia, takes a clearly defined position in ref r jneo to tit is niat'er. Cther important matters were treated of at this meeting.? The alius of tfro povrcr of assessing property. tbo burdensome apd ruinous charac tcr of our present taxation, the necessity retrenchment aud rcioriii ; and their wo wjiial upon these subjects, addressed to the Logi?lattue, is full of sound doctrine well expressed. But we think that the pressure of this mutter of immigration was the chief motive for assembling this convention. Its memorial styles the immigrants deluded men," and asks the Legislature to take steps to discoui#ge I anv further increase in their numbers, as ! labor is now abundant :u South Carolina. Wo would not blaute this convention for the position which it has taken, if there : was any necessary antagonism botween j white and colored labor. But we believe (there is plenty of room and work for all. Ifa white man comes to this Stato determined to work, ho need not long hold the position of a farm laborer. The rewards of holiest toil will soon secure a man a position of hia own. The young colored ; meu who composed the convention at Columbia. seem to be aware of their own responsibility. If they will discharge their known duty, they need not fear immigration. If they will not, the consequences I w!ii/?h the.-nradict will fall UDOn them.? j Nothing which they can do will prevent ; their being crowded out of it position which they are unable or unwilling to ! I hold. 11 ' The Legislature. ;, The most important business done by the Legislature is the passage of the act . j to extend the time for the payment ol ., taxes for 187M, under which there has been an extension throughout the whole State to March 7th. A resolution to appoint a committee of the Legislature tc j confer with a committee of the Tax-pay> ers' Convention was lost in the House;? The House and Senate have been wrang * ling over the distribution of the amount appropriated for the payment of contingent expenses. A resolution ha* been adopted in the House, referring all bills in reference to the public printing to the committee on the judieiary and the printing. with instructions to report a bill in five days to let out the printing to the i ! -west bidder, the total amount not to exceed ?50.000. In the Senate an attempt i has heen made to revive the Blue Kid^C scrip, which tailed, and the scrip is now considered to be dead. The resolution to iuipcach Judge Carpenter for discharging , the colored jury in Kershaw county, was lost in the House on Friday last, by a sinul. vote. We observe that two of our Representatives, Messrs Adamson and Hough, voted for ^iu resolution, the other, Gaither, not voting. It is not considered probable that the Legislature will , adjourn before the 1st of March, some thinking it best to remain in session until after the assembling of the Tax-payers' , Convention. The trial of tho Duffus brothers Jbr . frilling W'-fif, which h^ lifIMI m Charleston forsoute time, was ended'on Saturday last. After an absence of three hours, the jury brought in a verdict finding*.). A. Ihtlms jr. guilty of "murder," arid 11. li l>uffus. guilty of "manslaughter." Charleston, S. ('., has been chosen for the place of the next meeting of tho National Orange of the Patrons of Husbandi ry. Croat enthusiasm was manifested whi n he choice was made known. 1 It considered probable that Mr. Gladstone, Premier of (Ireat llritain, will re sign, ?;< party, tho uocrais. navmg been defeated in tlie late elections, and the precedents being that when the government appeals to the people and is defeated. the cabinet should resign. hat's the Matt kit Now??The New Vork Tribune, of Saturday saj*s : ' There were laid before us yesterday, certain startling documents, gravely affecting high officials. The publication of i them seems a high duty; hut we arc un; willing to permit our columns to be used in promulgating papers that must bring | such discredit upon the American name while there is the remotest possibility of our being able to establish th *ir lack of authenticity We have therefore set on foot a thorough investigation that will .- miii determine the matter, while meantime, and f >r this sole reason, wo reserve the documents themselves, and all expression of opinion concerning the conduct of the officials concerned." A Washington Telegram, of Sunday, t > the JJaltiniore Sun. says: "The greatc-t anxiety and interest is felt in all circles here over the disclosures threatened by a leading New York paper, f said to implicate high officials. It is asserted, that the matter alluded to i.- in eonncetion with the government subsidies to the Pacific mail steamship line, and that one of the officials alluded to is a member <>f the f'nbinct. and another a still higher perpersonage. The testimony taken in tho <'ongre.ssional investigation into tliis subject at the lust session has never been disclosed, and is now in the possession uf the committee of ways and means, Ini>ki;tei?nkss (>v .Southern Planters.?The Columbus, Ga? Lut/ulnr my? that it is becoming every day in ?re apparent that the merchants will have to carry the planters in that section through the coming spring and summer, if for no other reas n than to secure the amounts due for previous years. For the past three years the planters have pitched their I crops and operated their farms with a j view to produce a heavy cotton yield, in | the hope of getting out of debt, but i^| I consequence of the unfavorable seasons, and the ravages of the worm, short crops and short prices, they find themselves further in debt than they were three years ago, and consequently, with less ability to pay now thin then. TELEGRAPHIC ITE3IS Washington, February 3. A bill for an injunction was filed to-day by the counsel of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines against the lion. Caleb Cushing, on which a rcstruiuirig ordc> was granted, returnable on the 13th instant. Mrs. Gaines charges that she conveyed to Mr. Cushing certain lands in Louisiana?sixty-eight thousand aores?and received from him a counter deed acknowledging the trust, and afterwards, in his own name, he obtained a confirmation to the title to said lands, denying her right to any interest in them. She' now asks* an injunction to prevent j the respondent from reioeving from the I government the patents for said lands. Memphis, February 4. The Memphis-and Louisvilb Railroad Company shops, with five locomotives and seven cars were burned to-day. LossSldO,i oOO. The fire was caused by a boy attempting to kindle a fire with coal oil. j The fire throws one hundred and twenty j workmen out of employment. Providence, R. I., February 4. One of the buildings of Allen's Print I Works was burned last night. Loss 875, 000 to 8100.000, Insured. The loss on 1.1 -II u: J I lie uu 11 macmucry uuu atuv&s, mu u^u Millville this morning, is 8250,000. Insurance $171,000. Later.?'iTic burning of tho Memphis and Louisville Railroad machine shops, last night, was done by John McCarthy, formerly a firemau on this road, but who is now employed on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. McCarthy, in coui, puny with another man entered the office of the master mechanic, and, pretending to be intoxicated, raised a row with Den ' nis Roach, a watchman, whom he knocki ed down with a billet of wood, and then . lighted a match and set fire to a lot of pa'per. About this time. La^Thomas, another watchman entered the room,aud taking in the situation at aglauce, struck McCar thy over the bead with his club. McCar thy then ran and was pursued by Thomas, , who tired* several shots at him, oue of , which took effect in his side, as stated by a woman who dressed his wound. Up 1 to an early hour this morning the polico had failed to secure McCarthy. The entire loss reaches about $110,000. Cully one hundred men arc thrown out of employment by the fire. It is thought that new shops will be rebuilt at once. London. February 5. Disraeli addressed a meeting at Newport yesterday. In the course of his re j marks lie said that Gladstone's Irish poiI icy had utterly Tailed. Instead of pro| ducing tranquility in that country, Ireland I was now in a more disturbed state and more stringently governed than ever be ! lore. He said that but for the University I of London Mr. Lowe would be without a seat in Parliinent. His unpopularity was j such that his appearance on any hustings would endanger his life. Throughout the whole of Disraeli's speech the mob wore pelting with stones the windows of the hall in which the meeting was held. They ' attempted to break up the meeting, when a?free tight ensued. The polling at Hackney has been declared void because of informality. Additional returns show that , the Conservatives have gained one scat j ea^h at liuu^iuuluuu, Cuulorbury, Curiat } Church. Marylebone, Ncwcnstle-on Tyne, | Salisbury and St. Ives, and that the Lib| erals have gained one each at Abingdon. Hartlepool, Monmouth and Stockport.? Liberal members of Parliament have been rc-clectcd, from Darlington, lluddersfield, Hull. Leicester and Perth, by large majorities. Monsell and Pioebuck are electi cd from Sheffield, Roebuck beating by one hundred votes, Mr. Forsyth, Conserva tivo. At Marylebone there was u majority of 1,500 o\er the Liberal candid ate Sir Joseph Cowen, Radical, was returned from Ncwcastle-oii-Tyne, by 2.000 uiajori t v over his Conservative opponent.

At Stalcy Bridge, Lancashire, serious riots occurred during tlic progress of the election, and many persons were injured. At Duuiont. Worcestershire, a conflict occurred between an imported mob of Irish miners. Numbers of bouses were ransacked and much property destroyed. The riot act was read, all the shops closed, and it was feared that the whole population would rise against the intruders. A company of soldiers was sent from Birmingham to aid the authorities in the restoration of order. At Williamhall, three miles from Wolverhampton. there was a serious riotyestcr day during the election. Several persons were fatally injured Trouble is also reported at Hastings and Windsor. The Liberals have gained one scut in Southawp ton. i The Times anticipates a large majority | for the Conservatives in the English elections. but says the Scotch and Irish votes will turn the scale in favor of the Liberals. Thus far the Conservatives have i gained forty-five scats lately held by the Liberals, and the Liberals have been cbosen for nineteen scats before occupied by | the Conservatives. Of the total number of members chosen up to this morning the Conservatives havo a majority of twenty-three. London. Fcby. Oth. '1'i.IA.A fi,? I polling district of Staffordshire. At 1 IanIcy thcro was a desperate fii^ht. between two mobs. ( hie man was killed and many persons severely wounded. Among the injured arc several special constables and policemen. At Tunstall the autlioritics closed all the public houses. The mob seized the ballot boxes which Were, however. recaptured by the police. Similar scenes were enacted at L union and liarsen. The mayor of Wolverhampton and a magistrate of Smith Staffordshire telegraphed late yesterday afterm on 1*>r n.ilitary aid. asking for the immediate dispatch >f all available troops. In Ireland, the feeling win high between the Clerical and Nationali?t parties. In Limerick, a fight occurred yesterday, bet wees the supporters of the rival candidates in A kelon, in which tire arms wore used, and threo men were shot dead. In Asbury and Sehutt, conservatives have been elected. At llrighton, which I was represented in the last parliament by Fawcett and White, advunccd Liberals, Fawcett yesterday stood at the bottom of the roll. Polling in Manchester to-day re suited in the election of two conservtivcs Juc and the re-election of Sir Thomas Bcasley, the Liberal. Jacob Bright stood at the bot- vou torn of the poll and the conservatives gain , one seat. The Liberals gain one scat at or' Blackburne. and the Conservatives hold their own at Safford. London, Feby. G, G p. m. ca." At the Parliamentary elections held *nI yesterday, the conservatives gained otic ara( seat each in Belfast, Dover, Graveseud t,n( and Northampton. The Liberals gained ^d a seat for Duuiphrcyshire and one for Co- . 1 ventry. "Homo Rulers" were elected at ,an Droghcda and Wexford. In the last Par- tIor liuient these two places were represented the by Liberals. The .Marquis of Lorno has ,J,ei been returned from Argyleshirc. The first report that all the Liberal candidates were C0M electod in Glasgow 011 Wednesday, was trie incorrect. Later returns show that the hos Conservatives have gained one of the seats wr( of that city. So far. three hundred and *er forty members of the new parliament have he been electod. Of this number, one huu- ail< dred and ninety-three are liberals and ?or Home Rulers. Conservatives have been u* chosen for sixty-one scats occupied by fJ^.r Liberals in the last parliament, and the c''.r Liberals have ousted twenty-four Conscrvatives. Conservative candidates were elected in Westminster )'csterday by a j*' ' larger majority then the representatives in the last parliament. ~ ' The Times this mortfing says it is now evident that the country has returned an a adverse answer to Mr. Gladstone's appeal. ',e The election in Irciaud may show unlocked- . for results, but nothing is likely to restore fiei the losses of the Liberals in Great Britain. J ' Disraeli is bound to accept office, if the *1,n government, following his example in ?nt 1868, resigns without awaiting tho reas- "e scmbiing of parliament. The Post, in an editorial of a similar strain, says that the *1" blunders of the government are far more rcI than an average. Its exercise of power bus acf been as absolute as|it| has been indiscreet, (.'r< It is immaterial whether the adverse re- lro suits of the elections arc due to the dissat- er isfaction of the country in the past, or the . uncertainty regarding the policy of the Wl' government in the future. . wn The City of London returns Morris Col- an' ton, Hubbard and Truull, Conservatives, . and Geshen, Liberal.
