COLUMBIA, 8. C., December 12, 1869.
DIVORCES.
. In Chicago, lt ls said that a husband and wife
are frequently divorced without one of the in?
terested parties being cognizant that the other
had Intentions that way, much less having
commenced and carried through a suit for a
divorce. It ls not intended that such a state
of affairs shall exist in Sooth Carolina, if I
Judge from a bill to "regulate divorce," which
was Introduced at the last session and will be
considered by the House in a day or two, as it
provides that "any person who shall hereafter
seek a divorce from the bonds of matrimony
shall be required, before commencing proceed?
ings In any court, to give notice of his Inten?
tion to seek such divorce, by publication over
his own signature, in some newspaper of the
county In which he resides, for the space of
three months." It will be seen that the bill
only mentions males, the framers, perhaps,
thinking that no females would desire a di?
vorce, or, If they did, they would, with the
usual glibness of tongue, publish their inten?
tion aa successfully (if not more so) as the
county newspaper could do.
EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS.
A bill to authorize administrators, executors,
and ether fiduciaries to sell certain evidences
of indebtedness at public sale, and to compro?
mise in certain cases, was passed to-day in the
House. It provides that they be allowed to
sell, to thc highest bidder, as other personal
property ls now sold, all notes, accounts, and
other evidences of indebtedness coming Into
their hands as such, when the same ls ap?
praised doubtful or worthless, and the pur?
chaser thereof shall be allowed to bring his ac?
tion in his own name, aa purchaser, to collect
the same; that the said administrators, Ac,
., may, by and with the consent of thc probate
judge, compromise all demands coming Into
their hands as such, where the same is ap?
praised doubtful or worthless; and where such
compromises are made, the same shall be fully
shown in their annual returns.
THE UNFOBTU??ATB FISH.
Tt^s well known that thc strength of thc
Radical party in this State is greatly due to
offices or promises of such given to thc mem?
bers, and every new office that- ls created adds
one or more persons to lt, or strengthens some
"weak-kneed brother," and therefore it is the
policy of "those In authority" to make as many
offices as possible, (also to keep Corbin from
absorbing them.) The former they are cer?
tainly carrying Into effect. Commissioners of
cotton, of juries, of contracts, and what not, '
are In a fair way of "commencing the discharge
of their duties," and now the unfortunate fish
ste to be made the means of creating commis?
si oners. A joint resolution presented tn the
Houser on Friday, provides that a tish commis?
sion be appointed by the Governor for each judi?
cial district, whose dnties shall be to draw "two
dollars per day for each day, and ten cents per
nififf for each mlle travelled in thc dis?
charge of their duties, provided they shall rc
celvo pay for not mop; than ninety days du?
ring the year 1670;" alto, "to inspect all inland
streams in their respective districts that are
large enough for migratory fish lo ascend, and
report to the Legislature, at its next regular
session, what obstructions are necessary to be
removed, and over what natural water-falls
or artificial dams it may be expedient for fish
ways to be constructed, and what Impurities
are allowed to flow into, or are cast into, the
streams that are poisonous to fish, or destruo
tive of their spawn;" to "report to the solici?
tors all parties who may be violating the pres
entjfhh laws;" to "sall to their assistance as
many persons as they may deem necessary in
case of resistance; and any person refusing to
give such assistance shall bc liable to a fine of
not less than ten, nor more than fifty r?ollars,
to be recovered In any court of competent ju
risctlon In the State."
TURPK1?TIXE.
The bill introduced relative to turpentine,
which provides that "in the absence of satis?
factory proof of a special stipulation to the
contrary, lt shall be presumed and understood
that the quantity and weight of crude turpen?
tine to make a barrel thereof is two hundred
and eighty pounds, was, lt ls understood, offer?
ed at the instance of a number of large tur?
pentine dealers, who frequently are plunged
Into great difficulty by misunderstandings
relative to the number of pounds of crude tur?
pentine which Hhould constitute a barrel of
the article. The bili has been referred to a
special committee.
"XOW STRONO."
Several days ago, a colored member desiring
to have a bill prepared relative to fences, sent
a note to the proper authority, In lt stating
(. that he wanted a bill prepared so as to make
the boflders of the fences fix them "hors hi,
kow strong and pig tito,"-another way of de?
scribing the quail ii cations of a "buncombe
ferjje," "horse high, bull strong and pig
tigm." The bill has been prepared, was read
In the House Thursday, and referred to the Ju?
diciary Committee. The provisions of thc bill
are, that planters, farmers and gardeners must
protect their crops, ot whatever nature, by
fences, which must be sufficiently high and
strong to protect thc crops from inroads of
cattle or stock of any kind: and if such crops
so protected are destroyed or injured by in?
roads of cattle or stock, the owner can sue
and recover from the owner of the cattle or
stock damages.
"RCS AND SEB THE SOLDIERS."
A bill now in the hands of the members pro?
vides that Joseph W. Lloyd, George D. Mitch?
ell, George Simons, Charles Toll! ver and James
Williams be made a body politic, under thc
name and title of the Delaney Rifle Guards
the name ot a colored soldier company of
Charleston.
INVALID CLERGYMEN-.
Messrs. John H. Cornish, Wm. II. Clark, Mo
relle Fowler, Amory Coffin, M. D., H. W.
Ravenel, George W. Rose, are the gentlemen
named in a bill requesting incorporation under
the name of a "Home for Invalid Clergymen."
These gentlemen propose to have the "Home"
located in Aiken, for Invalid clergymen for the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and others in
communion with lt, and arc to have power and
capacity to take, purchase, hold and convey
property, real and personal, not exceeding in
value one hundred thousand dollars.
PER DIEM.
The Senate committee on Finance, to whom
was referred the bill to make an appropriation
of $125,000 for the payment of thc per diem
and mileage of the members of the General
Assembly, and the salaries of the subordinate
officers, and other expenses incidental thereto,
reported on Friday, recommending that $150,
000 be appropriated, on thc ground that it
might be necessary, and 'twas useless to go
through the trouble of passing another bill.
Corbin desired to know if the committee had
any data by which they could Judge when the
General Assembly would adjourn. The reply
was that the committee had no reliable data,
but it was supposed that tho adjournment
would occur about the latter part ot February.
The recommendatlon.^vas voted down, and the
bill to appropriate $125,000 read thc second
time. _ _ L.

-Mahomet's birthday was celebrated at Cai?
ro, on the 1st ultimo, when the prostrate bodies
of fanatics were ridden over by the Sheik of
Bekrce, live snakes were eaten, glass crunched
and swallowed, bodies slashed with swords,
cheeks and broasts pierced with sharp metal
instruments, which were left sticking in thc
wounds they made, and huudreds of men and
boys shrieked and writhed and wrestled iu
what professed to be mad ecstacy ol' religious
fervor. All this was gone through in the pub?
lic streets in broad daylight, and in the pre?
sence of as many lookers-on as could be
crammed togethc on the flat roofs, or could
see from the windows of the houses, or at the
gratings of the mosi/ie at which thc fesUval
culminated. It is said that the Sheik was drunk
during the ceremonies. His eyes were closed
throughout, his face was white to ghastliness,
his body had the helpless swaying motion of a
corpse held up. He was gorgeously dressed,
and wore an immense turban of a green shawl
pattern. His hands held tho bridle, but they
were limp and useless, and his horse was led
by two attendants. As he approached, the
convulsive twltcldng of the arms and legs of
those prostrate grew more and more pronounc?
ed, and then thc trampling under foot began.
Sometimes on the centre of the back, oltener
between two men, so as to etand on the fleshy
parts of the sides of both, the horse went
steadily on until all down had borne a portion
of it and its rider's weight. No one seemed
much hurt, however. The very tightness of
the packing gave a certain power of resistance
to the concrete mass of humanity, and directly
the Sheik passed, those behind jumped up>
many of them going forthwith into convul?
sions. \

More Reconstruction for Georgia-The
Manouvre? of Bullock-Thc Tariff
Southern Officials-The Southern Pa?
cific Railroad Company.
[FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.!
WASHINGTON, December 12,
The first legislative week of Congress has
gone, and without important result. The be?
lief ls general now that little will be accom?
plished till after the holiday recess beyond the
mere preparation of business. The dictum of
the message on thc status of Georgia will be
concurred in, for tho Reconstruction Commit?
tee seem to have made up their minds on ?hat
point at once, and in the Senate the Judiciary
Committee have considered two or titree bills
making conditions precedent to thc readmis?
sion of the State, namely the complete restora?
tion of thc colored members to the Legislature.
Governor Bullock is here, incessantly
at work to carry out his plans und
purposes, and has even gone so far its
to dine and wine the leading Radicals
in the House, and take oilier measures to
get into their good graces, thc more effectual?
ly to pave thc way for influence in Congress.
This is, in some respects, necessary, lor Bul?
lock has a few old acquaintances in Washing?
ton who remember him when lie was Adams'
Express agent and a telegraph operator here,
to say nothing ot transactions in which he
figured very disgracefully in a domestic line.
Conservative Georgians who are here think
that it is Bullock's intention to get Lite Slate
under his control, so that he can organize a
negro militia and then do just what lie pleases,
and they have not failed to explain to Conser?
vative Republican members, and Democrats
in the House, the exact role which Bullock in?
tends playing. When thc discussion comes up
in the House, some facts regarding Iiis man?
agement of affairs in that Slate will bi; sub?
mitted, an 1 some interesting developments
may be exp 'Cted- probably io the financial
line, and the ac.ountj of thc State of Georgia j
with thc Tenth New York National Bau
without doubt, bc a feature of them.

half per cent, interest, and requiring na)
banks to adopt these new bonds for bai
purposes. By the latter requirement,
friends of ihis scheme hope to float at lean
hundred millions of the loan at home,
another hundred million abroad.
Thc South, of course, feels a deep inter
thc tariff, but it need have no fears tha
very material modifications will bo mai
this session. The President's proposith
defer thc whole question of reducing taxa
through the customs and Internal rev
laws, has dampened thc order of Peunsyh
protectionists not a little, and they have
much hope of a bill being passed until am
year comos around. It ls possible tha
free Hst may bc enlarged to thc extent n
mitting, duly free, a large number of arl
not produced in this country. This won
of benefit to the drug trade to a great ext
and lt is being very warmly pressed b;
New York interests. As regards the e:
law, few or no changes will be made. A
position to reduce the income tax will bc
generally supported in thc House, and a
tion not to renew lt after it expires next
will get a good many votes in Ute House,
tax is most odious even to Copgrcssmcu,
should be cut down or abolished.
