' MEXT.
General Amnesty.
[FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.]
WASHINGTON", March 30.
In his message to Congress to-day the Presi?
dent said that it was unusual to notify Con?
gress by a message of the proclamation of a
constitutional amendment. In view, however,
ol the vast Importance of thc Fifteenth amend?
ment, this day declared passed, this departure
fronAthe usual custom is justifiable. A meas?
ure which makes four millions of people
voters, who were heretofore declared by thc
highest judicial tribunals to be not citizens and
not eligible to become so, is a measure of
greater importance thau any one act since the
foundation of our free government. The Presi?
dent calls upon the newly enfranchised to ever
make themselves worthy of their new privileges
and urges the whites to withold no legal pri?
vileges which will tend to their advancement.
He quotes some of Washington's remarks re?
garding the importance of education, and calls
upon Congress to take steps which will pro?
mote and make popular education and upon
the people everywhere to see that all who pos?
sess political rights shall :have an opportuni?
ty to acquire that knowledge which shall make
their share In thc government a blessing in?
stead of a danger. Thc message mentions
that the following States have ratified the
amendment: North Carolina, West Virginia,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Louisiana,
South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Con
netlcut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New York,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Alabama, Wiscon?
sin, Mississippi, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, Kansas,
Minnesota, Rhode Island, Nebraska. Maine
and Texas-twenty-nine in all.
The Democrats from New York and Indiana,
protest against their States being stated as
having ratified the Fifteenth amendment.
A meeting of the officers who served with
General Thomas was held here to-night to
make preparations to do honor to his memo?
ry. The President and his Cabinet and the
diplcfeiatic corps will be present.
To-night Judge Bradley received a number
o? New Jerseymen, including the Congression?
al delegation and Secretary Robeson, who call?
ed to offer their congratulations on his appoint?
ment to thc supreme bench. In thc coulee of
his rep!v, Judge Bradley stated emphatically
that he entered npon the discharge of his du- '
ties without any pledges on any question what?
ever, and actuated only by a desire to do right.
SENATE.
The Senate confirmed Dr. Bard as Governor
of Idaho. j
Senator Revels presented a petition from two c
thousand Georgians, for an appropriation for t
Wilberforce College, Ohio. i
HOUSE. i
In the House, Cox and Banks expressed
themselves as opposed to thc individual disa
ablllty bill. In reply to a question, Banks said
that as soon as the tariff question was out of .
the way, he would press a general amnesty
bill.
. The biil admitting Texas, as amended by the
Senate, passed by a vote of 130 to 50.
Arnell, from the Committee on Education
and Labor, reported a bill to allow the school ,
trastees in the State of Massachusetts to en?
ter lands for school purposes under the Home?
stead law, allowing them to take In, feace and !
improve fifty acres for each school. The bill J
was sent to the Speaker's table.
Arnell, from the same committee, reported a
bill providing that the office of education in
the Apartment of the Interior, shall be here?
after named the Bureau oi Education, and
that all unexpended lunds in thc Treasury
shall be applied to the account of the
Freedmen's Burean for the education
and support of refugees, and that freed?
men shall be translerred lo thc Bureau of 1
Education, having special reference to aiding
in the erection and establishment, and useful- '
ness of common schools. Thc bill also pro- j
vides for the transfer to the War Department, ?
the other duties of the Freedmen's Bureau, ,
Unis discontinuing that bureau altogether.
Arnell, in explaining the bill, eulogized the j
Freedmen's Bureau, its chief, General Howard, i
and Mr. Elliott, member from Massachusetts, I
who was father o? the bureau. McNealy, in !
minority of the committee, offered a substitute i
to the bill, which provides lor the abolishing j
ol the Freedmen's Bureau; the turnlug over to i
the Treasury all Its funds; its building.? to the \
several States; placing all hospitals and asy- j
lums under the charge of tho Secretary of ]
War, and directing a final settlement of the ,
accounts of the burean w'r.hin one month.
Arnell declined to permit the snbslLtae to '
be offered, and demanded tho pr^-ious ques?
tion. Walker protested agilst any action be?
ing taken on the bill withoutan opportunity of
discussion or arr ?ndrnent. The morning hour
expiring, Vue bill went over.

Probable Reversal of thc Recent Legr-l
Tender Decision.
A Washing telegram of Sunday to thc New
York Tribune says:
Important action in reference to thc legality of
the Legal-tender act will soo-. i?e taken ia thc Su?
preme Court, and lt Iii more titan probable that
the recent decision of the court will be reversed,
although of this nothing, of course, eau be known.
Attornev-General Hoar on Friday moved the
court to*take up and consider, at an early day,
two cases which had been passed carly lu the ses?
sion, and which are supposed to involve the entire
legnl-tender question. It is understood that upon
the opening of the court to-morrow morning, the
Cider Justice win announce that thc cases mu ba
heartLpn the following Monday. These cases are
Dewing agt. The United States and Latham a?t.
The United States, ami are appeals n orn ths Court
of Claims, which were parsed carly In the sessi-m,
without prejudice to their right to bc called at
anytime. The decision will" not be reached fur
Heveral weeks. Attorney C.en-ral Hoar will argue
the case for the United States.
Tlie question promulgated some time ago, re?
quiring all debts and contracts made previous to
February. 1S62, to be paid In gold, was signed by
Chief Justice Chase and Associate Justices Nelson,
Clifford, Fields and Grier. The last named has
since retired. The dissenting opinion was signed
by Associate Justices Miller, Davis and Swayne.
If the ca3es Involve the ?ame questions embraced
in the one alreadv decided, lt ls fair to presume
that the court will stand-Cha'e, Nelson, Clifford
and Field, against Miller, Davis, Swayne, Strong
and Bradley.
Rumored Cabinet Changes.
The Washington Star, or Munday even?n?,
brings U3 the following paragraphs:
The air has been lilied with gossip for several
davs past of impending changes in the Cabinet.
The story goes that owlt-g to a want of harmony
between the President and the Secretary of State .
on the Cuban question. Mr. Fish will shortly re?
tire, and that his place will be tilled by General
Butler. It is stated nlso that, owing to the grow?
ing strength of Secretary Boutwcll. he looms as a
formidable candidate for the Presidency, which
has weakened the good relations heretofore ex?
isting between the Executive aud himself, and
that he will consequently withdraw from the
Treasury Department with the view of placing
himself In training for the seuatorship now held
by Mr. Wilson, and availing himself of such op?
portunity as may be presented in the campaign
of Ti lt is gossipped further that Attorney-Gen?
eral Hoar will also retire at an early day, to be
succeeded by Hon. Mr. Davis, now a representa?
tive in Congress from New York. No other
changes are named specifically, but it is held that
these will lead to the resignation or Secretary Cox
and Postmaster-General Creswell, and that an en?
tire reorganization of thc Cabinet will bc likely
to follow.
Thc Executive Connell of the National
Board of Trade visit the President.
The Execntive Council of the National Board of
Trade, consisting of John Fraley, of Philadelphia,
president: H. A. Hill, of Boston, secretary, and
Messrs. Brown, of Portland : Plummer, of Boston :
Taylor, of St. Paul's; Trenholm, or Charleston,
and Gano, of Cincinnati, vice-presidents, called at
thc Executive Mansion this morning, for the pur?
pose of paying their respects, and at the same
time stating to the President the views of the or?
ganization represented by them, upon certain
subjects of great importance to the national in?
terests of this country. The members of the
council were admitted to thc President's office at
about noon, and their Interview was of long dura?
tion.
The topics upon which tho President's atten?
tion was most earnestly solicited were those re?
lating-first, to interior ports of entry; second, to
the creation of a department of commerce: third,
the Civil Service bill, and fourth, with reference
to American shipping interests.
These matters were discussed by the different
gentlemen present, while the President listened
with mnch interest to the views laid before Mm,
and at the close expressed, in general terms, his
high appreciation of the Important matters pre?
sented. The committee, after leaving thc Presi?
dent, paid their respects to Secretary Boutwell
and Special Commissioner Wells.
General Batter's Nomination of a Negro
Cadctship Refuted.
Several weeks ago G-meral Butler nominated,
forappjintraent to the Military Academy, a col
oredyouth named diaries Sumner Wilson, of Sa?
lem, Massachusetts. Thc nomination was refer?
red to the proper officer In the War Department,
who, ascertaining thac the youth la aged only
sixteen years and four months, instead of seven?
teen years, the minimum required by law, ac?
cordingly notified General lintier that the candi?
date ls, for reason of being under thc prescribed
age, ineligible.
THE RICHMOND 'MAYORALTY
SQUABBLE.
RICHMOND, March 30.
The argument in thc injonction case of Cha
hoon vs. Etlyson was concluded in the United
States Court to-day. Ex-Go .crnor Wisc made
the closing speech. He repudiated in strong
terms any affiliation ivith the "Black Repub?
lican" party, and still claimed to be an unre?
pentant rebel, and did not want his position
misunderstood, because he appeared as coun?
sel for Cu?hooo. He claimed that thc court
had no jurisdiction, because Chahoon, as a
provisional appointee, is a United States offi?
cer, anti should not go out of office until thc
regular election by the people. Ellyson's
counsel claimed that the admissiou ol the
Sute terminate;! powers of all provisional
officers. Tue decision of this ctise will affect
all ol the offices in the State, which are nearly
all filled by military appointees, who remain
In until July C. The decision is given ia favor
of Chahoon.

THE CITY OF BOSTON.
Her Probable Fate.
A correspondent of the New York Post in
commenting upou the alleged probability ol thc
City of Boston having taken tire from the heating
jr the Journals of thc machinery, caused by the
Increase speed due to the substitution of a two
Dladed Tor a three-b'.jde.t screw, makes tho follow?
ing very plausible suggestion in regard to thc
Tate or thc misslug steamship:
Asmauvofihcfriendsortho.se on board may
'eel additional anguisn from the fact that their
friends have suffered thc dread terrors of Arc ou
hoard a ship at sea. it muy be as well to show
liow ridiculous thc conclusions of the paper
ipioted are. In the first place, tho speed at which
a screw ls driven depends on the pitch or distance
the screw travels ahead lu one revolution, and
not upon the number of blades, the resisting sur?
face being divided Into two, three, or four par?
tions, according to the judgment of the engineer;
two blades being used generally where vessels
are cci.en^ft'it pr'pcip;::; QQ san?, as ar ;
Curding less resistance wi'.c-u thc blades are
[?laced perpendicular^/ ami the vessel driven by
sall alone. Agali?, the shaft and all the bearings
of an engiaoTnu In metal, and have no wood
whatev?v near them, and are never, under any
circumstances, allowed to run above thc temper?
ature at which water evaporates-212 degrees;
for berore reaching the point at which the dry
est wood ignites, they would so cut and bind in
the journals ora large shaft as to nop the engine.
The probable fite or the City or Bo.stou has
been an encouuter with an iceberr:. One wilt
naturally sav that the cantata, bein? careful,
would reduc? the speed ol'his ship when the de?
pression or the thermometer would show that
there were Ice?ergs lu the neighborhood. Sup?
pose, then, that the speed hail been reduced to
ten knots an hour, and lot us see with what force
thc Citv ol Boston would strike an iceberg or
sufficient magnitude to remain practically im?
movable when tho vessel struck lt.
The City nf Boston probably weighed 1000 ton3:
water in boders, say Blt/ tons: passengers, bag?
gage, Ac, Mtv tons; freight, SOO tons, making lu
alt 1900 tons. " At a speed of ten knots an hour
she would move seventeen feet in one second,
which would give the vessel a momentum, or
force with which she would strike, of 32,300 tons,
a 'orce sufficient to crush in her bows ror
many reet. Besides this, let one imagine for
a moment thc < fleet upon all ponderable
bodies partially secured to the vessel. Thc
vessel suddenly Hopped, boats, masts, fur?
niture, passengers, even thing about the vessel
would virtually bo d riven ahead at a speed ol' sev?
enteen reet a second: the boilers would probably
bc loosened from their fastenings, the masts
would bc broken off, the boats would bo carried
away, terror would prevail, which the shrieks of
affrighted and wounded i?asscngcrs would heigh?
ten. The vessel would sink immediately, no
boats could bo lowered, no provision ue made to
save a single person. Should she have taken Ore,
there would have bien at least a short time to
lower boats and prepare raits, on which some
would have remained probably long enough afloat
to have been picked up by steamers or sailing
vessels passing over the same route.
A long cuough time has now elapsed to have
heard from almost every port Tor which a steamer
or sailing vessel ?a that mute would have sailed,
and hope ror the sate arrival or the City or Boston
has almost died out, '?yen in the minds or the
most sanguine.

[FROM ora SPECIA:. CORRESPONDENT.]
PAUIS, Mardi 12.
The French have never had a reputation for
successful colonization, and there ls nothing as?
tonishing In their fatlnre to make anything out of
Algeria. M. dc Persigny, lu 1EC0, informed the
world that that colony was a permanent source
of weakness to France, which absorbed the blood
and money of thc mother country. However, the
Arabs afford, from time to time, a series of "little
wars," where experience ls gained. On the re?
assembling of thc Corps L?gislatif, the condition
of thc colouy became the order of the day. Like
such subjects In general, the House did not find
thc matter attractive, but nevertheless unani?
mously accepted the ministerial promise, that Al?
geria, os after 1848, would be represented In the
Chamber-likely by three members-and that thc
luturc would sec more or the civil and less or the
military element, in thc administration of the
colony.
reri'HRizrxo THE SENATE.
What gave most of importance to this dehatp
was the first mow of thc pick-axe gi.iu MI ntl
Senate, lt is this august body that has under its
special charge thc conduct of matters Algerian,
and promising to reform this exclusive control,
pleased thc Chamber vry much. Besides the
Senate has at present a veto on thc acts ot thc
Chamber of Deputies, and such ls not In accor?
dance with thc new order of things, still less
with the wishes of the country. The senators are
exclusively appointed by thc Emperor, and each
receives a stipend of 30,000 francs a year. It ls
thc llottl des Invalides for the "Illustrious" of the
nation. Thc Senate ls now on Ita trial. The
couutry does not regard it as a "live Institution,
and its action in passing thc reforms now in tran
sltu from thc People's House, will decide its utili?
ty. Vacancies are only filled upon the death of a
senator. In Belgium, the Senate ls elected by thc
popular vote, aud can be dissolved. That of
France will likely be siml'arly constituted.
DECENTRALIZATION.
Thc Decentralization Committee ls pursuing Its
Important work. Iis object is to ascertain how
rar the Imperial Government can be relieved from
mixing in local affairs. The knotty point ls to
decide If the local mayors of the parish parlia?
ments arc to be nominated hythe government,
and tims become Its representatives, or by the
vestry vote, leaving them Independent.
Meantime, thc work of liberalizing thc institu?
tions or the couutry goes ahead, nnd the politi?
cally uneducated are beginning to see that this
liberty is not tobe comprehended by them, and
classed, as they have hitherto done, with Hie
plague, cholera or yellow rever. It is a difficult
task to plant freedom In this country, where
opinion ls so mobile, and as oscillating as a pen?
dulum-moving to arbitrary power when the
wind blows from the barricades, and to opposi?
tion when absolutism becomes too strict. Of two
clashes in France, one does not like liberty, and
the other, In loving lt too much, stilles it in Its
embraces. It ls for the Cabinet "to keep pegging
away."
LEST IN PARIS.
The plensnrcs of the carnival are not altogether
forgotten In thc severities of Lent. Never was a
more marked chango visible than at present in
the observance of this c?reme. Formerly balls
were prohibited, and dinner partlci ostracised.
Now both arc extensively patronized. Under thc
disguise of a chamber concert thegreatcst amuse?
ment exists, and tasting ls a thing unknown. Thc
theatres are crowded-all places of amusement
full.
TH 2 BONAPARTE TRIAL.
The requisite jury list has been filled up. out of
which the thirty-six members, "with power to
add to their number" lo the extent of font, will
bc chosen by lot lo try Prince Pierre Napoleon.
At Tours the city is divided into two equal camps
respecting the Prince's guilt. The whole point
turns on the fact, yes or no !-did Noir, the de?
ceased, strike the Prince bet?re th1 latter fired.
Fouvllle, the only witness of the tragedy, asserts
no; but witnesses are forthcoming to prove that,
Immediately arter the homicide was committed,
Fouville expressed gratification that Noir had, at
all events, "wtil struck the Prince." Meantime
the hot dispute about Prince Pierre's crime at
Tours has no: had the effect of lowering Califor?
nian prices in that city.
TUB HATTI EN AMBASSADOR.
Thc only change that has taken place in the
ambassadorial world ls thc resignation and de?
parture of Sulnave's representative for St. Do?
mingo. This worthy geutleman dropped a fare?
well card at the several embassies, surrounded
with a mourning border. Whether a compliment
to the deceased general, or the insignia of Qua
shee, the black band ls a mystery.
A DRAMATIC SUICIDE.
Rather a dramatic suicide took place at Neullly 1
yesterday. A gardener, In comfortable circum?
stances, entered a dram shop, and asked the bar
girl for a small glass-full of rum of the best quail,
ty; that he was about undertaking a very cold
journey, aud would never see her again. Having
finished his rum, he quietly vaulted over the
bridge and red Into the Seine. He was seen by a
young man, who plunged in. but what was lils
horror to find himself re.-cuing his father, who
insisted on drowning himself. The struggle and
debate were ba: short. Assistance soon brought '
the two men to land, but the father expired after
a few honre.
HONORS TO AS EDITOR.
It is a rare event for a Parisian journalist to die
surrounded by the universal regret of his coa
frercs; yet such has been the happiness of Count
de Riancey's family on the death or its ?ead. The
Count was editor or the Univers, the organ or
aristocratic Catholicity, and or the claims or him
who ls called "Sire" at FrasdonT, and 'theKing"
in the Faubourg St. Germain. De.-aased had
been at Rome to do the International meeting or
the Fathers, but returned to Paris to dil or rheu?
matism or the heart. Around his dying) bed were
seated his wire, children, and a fewj intimate
friends, with whom he conversed till a few min?
utes berore his death. Ills publications were
blessed by thc Pope, but their sale waa not so
rapid as those books ror which the kemira of the
"Index" are reserved. On his death-baa lie two
telegrams, one from Pio Kino, conveying absolu?
tion, the other from "Henry the Firth,"?banklng
hi9 good and faithful smrtieur.
RED REPUBLICAN CONSCRIPTS.*
After the conscripts are "drawn," theSpoor fel?

tain a blind eye to their pranks, excepting march?
ing-in advance-to glory, naked thre^abreaa:,
and full or wine or German beer, wlthjpienty or
noise understood to be songs. The future orates
do no rurther harm. This week, however, some
600 conscripts, with the tri-color coveted with
crape, marched to the office of Rochefort'gJour?
nal, singing prohibited songs, and utteing sedi?
tious cries. Like prisoners, they seen to ral
back on the privilege or cursing their jidges for
twenty Tour hours. They were allowed so depart

FUNERAL OP A BANK CLERE.
M. Satell was head clerk in thc Bank of France,
ami lt was his signature that gave legality to the

which took placea rew days ago, the friends, ac?
cording to custom, sprinkled holy water 'on the
coffin when lu the grave and retired. A fellow
clerk refused to take the sprinkler" whea hand?
ed to him, but, gathering up a handful ?f clay,
threw lt on thc collin, adding, "Sahel, y^u have
perjured yourself. You several times swore to die
a Free Thinker, and not allow the church to bury
you." Immense sensation.
THE FBKNCU ACADEMY. ,
Thc French Academy consists or forty members,
familiarly called immortels. The institution was
founded by Cardinal Mazarin, and was intended to |
group the ruoit dl-dlnguishcd literary minds of ;
the natlou, who were, above all. to decide upou
all questions affecting the parity or mother j
tongue. This "cardinal" object ls Just what in i
overlooked, and thc academy is uow but n close <
borough, where the Orlcantstsdominate*'and all
are eligible except an Imperialist. When a death ;
occurs there ls much intriguing to gain the va- ?
cant/ituteutt. The duty or thc newly elected is i
to blow the horn for his predecessor, and the \
president responds by trumpeting the praises of
the orator. M. deCliampaguy has been just "in- i
mated" as successor to Bcrrycr. When Fonte- <
nelle was elected an academician, he exclaimed i
with a sigh of relief, "Thank God, there are ouly
thirty-nine people In the world wiser than my?
self."

houses inuit or earth, burnt by the sun, the sur- 1
race or which crumbles away at thc first gust or
wind or the Hist shower of rain. The church is j
the only stone edifice In thc place. The iun where 1
combatants refresh themselves when these meet- !
inga are arranged ror Alcorcon (which ls fre?
emen Hy selected as a site for duels, and whither
the wounded arc conveyed when their injuries are
too severe to allow or their immediate return to
Madrid,) ls little inure than a mud hovel like the
others. It was lhere Unit the body of Doa En?
rique was taken alter the duel. On tlie morn?
ing of thei2:h the Duke of de Kompensier, ac?
companied by Lieutenant Generals Cordova and
Alaminos-the first director general of infantry
and tho other chief or thedivHon In garrison at
Madrid-his seconds, repaired to Alcorcon in a
landau. A surgeon accompanied them. Dun En?
rique, on hts part, was accompanied by two Bo
publicans-Senors Santa Maria and Ortiz, the lat?
ter deputv for Seville, and a surgeon. Senor Rubio.
According to the arrangements previously agreed
upon, the adversaries wore to place themselves
at first ten metres a part, and were lo draw nearer
each other one metre after each fire, until one of
them should be placed horr, de combat. It was de?
cided bv lot which or them should fire first.
Chance favored Don Enrique, who fired at ten
meires distance without hilling the Duke. Tho
latter replied with a Uko result. Thc distance
between them was diminished to nine metres.
Shots were exchanged in this position, but
neither combatant was struck. They were then
placed within eight metres. Don Enrique eacii
time tired first, aud this time his ball grazed the
Duke's clothing. The latter fired lu his turu, and
his advers iry fell dead without uttering a erv.
He was dead. The Dake de Montpenslor, serious?
ly affected by the events or the duel and its catas?
trophe, then"lost the sangfroid which lie hud dis
plaved during thc encounter, and his condition
became such that the surgeon waa twice ob! red
to bleed him. The news reached Paris on Satur?
day evening, and we now proeccd to describe
what has occured here. As soon as the news of
the death of his brother reached Don Francisco
d'Assisses, that Prince sent to his nephew, the
son of Prince Enrique, who ls on duty in the gar?
rison or Madrid, the following dispatch:
... _ "PARIS, 5-Evening.
"My Dear NepJiew-Toa know how much I feel
the mlsrortnne with which we have been visited,
ir lt can afford any consolation know that from
this time you will and in me the paternal affec?
tion which you have lost, anti which I desire to
replace. FRANCISCO D'ASSISSES."
The young Duke replied :
"Mu Dear Uncle-1 am In desolation. I know
not what to do. Advise.
"ENRIQUE DB BOURBON."
Tile King, Don Francisco, replied to his apoeal,
so touching In its simplicity :
"PARI8.
"Perrorm your duty. Attend the funeral, and
then come at once to Paris. My arms are open
to you."
Don Francisco sent for thc daughters of his de
csaaed brother from the school where they were
residing, and by degrees broke to them the
mournful Intelligence of their father's death.
The funeral of Prince Enrique occurred on Suu
day, and provoked no manifestation In Madrid.
LANDS FOR 1HE LANDLESS.
How to Promote Immigration-Practi?
cal Suggestions by an Immigrant.
TU THE BDITOR OF THE NEWS.
Noticing two articles in your paper on thc
subject of Immigration, and being myself an Im?
migrant, I feel authorized in offering still another
suggestion on that head, and with your kind per?
mission, I will now propose a plan by which to
turn the channel or Immigration to the soil or
South Carolina. That plan ls plain and feasible,
requiring no outlay or capltul, but in lieu; a gene?
ral donation or some acres or waste land, which
affording no Income to the owners, but tend to
Increase not only Utelr poverty individually, but
that of the State at large.
It would surprise any one who has not thought
on the subject, to bc informed to what extent taxes
are paid on surplus lands. At the present mo?
ment, none will deny that it ls les3 difficult to get
the subscription or one thousand acres or land
than twenty thousand dollars in cash. This land
offered to immigrants will undoubtedly attract to
the State, In any desired number, a people willing
to work and contrloute all In their power to the
prosperity of the commonwealth. And again,
such inducements offered give to thc proprietors
the advantage of selecting immigrants from the
most industrious and honest of the laboring class
throughout Europe.
The question arises, can thc Immigrant pay his
passage without assistance? This ls easily solved;
for with that one hundred thousand acres or land,
lt will co; be difficult, either In Europe or America,
to negotiate a loan of fifty thousand dollars at six
or eight per cent, on five year's time, provided
always a good mortgage be given on the land,
thus securing to the capitalist the twenty five dol?
lars, with interest paid each Immigrant. Thirty
thousand dollars of this sum will bc sufficient to
pay the passage of two thousand immigrants to
my part of the State. The remaining twenty
thousand will amply cover all ageucles, bureau
expenses, Ac.
But lt may seem to those who may do me the
the honor to read this ar. kde that a difficulty will
irise as to who may bc entitled to thc first Im?
migrants. Thc first subscribers arc entitled to
:he first choice.
Communications for or against my plan will be
leard with interest, either through the medium
jf TUE CHARLESTON NEWS, or by letter addressed
lo Box No. 12, Beaufort, S. C.
THE SECOND FIRE IN MARION.
Additional Particulars.
The Marlon Star, of Wednesday, says:
On Monday nicht last, about half-past 12
o'clock, our Citizens, who had scarcely recovered
from the excitement caused by the disastrous
conflagration of thc2Sth ultimo, were aroused by
thc alarm or lire, only to witness the destruction
of the large and handsome storehouse, with Its
valuable contents, of Messrs. Moody A Smith.
This was one of thc largest business buildings In
our town, and well stocked with merchandise.
The warehouse, which was In thc rear or the
Blore, and In close proximity, was saved by ex
traordluary exertions of our citizens, and stands
as a monument to-day of what can bc accomplish?
ed by determined men. Just here, wc may state
that thc residence or Majors. A. Durham was also
saved by the prompt and energetic action or our
citizens*. Had the premises of Major Durham
:akcn fire, there ls no telling when nnd where the
devouring names would have been satisfied. Thc
law or?cc of A. Q. McDutue, Esq., was also burned.
Ills library, papers and office rurnlture were
saved. The less of Messrs. Moody A Smith ls es?
timated at $11,600, covered by Insurance on their
Btock In the Underwriter's Company for ?flooo,
and on their buildings in the Home Company for
$2000. They had recently purchased the premises
Tor $S500. Mr. McDufHe'8 office, belonging to thc
estate of McIntyre, we are Informed, was not In?
sured-loss estimated at $250. Taking Into con?
sideration the destruction or fences, Ac, the total
loss by this Ure ls estimated at $12,000. As to the
origin of the Ure, public opinion has come to no
conclusion. Mr. Joseph Montgomery, the clerk,
was sleeping lu the store, and retired about half
past 9 o'clock, lie was awakened DY the alarm,
un'', escaped through the dense smoke with
difficulty. The night wntclnnau employed by
our merchants stated that he "smelt lire," and
examined this and other buildings by looking un?
der and around them sometime berore he was
tilde to locate lt. ir this be no, the Ure must have
originated la the building, or been cautiously set
on Aro by some accomplished Incendiary, be?
tween the weather boarding omi celling. Thc
Mame was first discovered on the north side of
the house, breaking through the weather-board?
ing, about four feet above the sill. Thc baoks,
papers and six hundred dollars in gold were pre?
served In thtlr safe. Much credit ls due to our
Lltlzeus, white and colored, for their streuuous
ind successful endeavors In checking the de?
touring flames. We learn that our Council in
:end making a thorough and speedy investiga?
tion or thc matter.

MORMON COMMENT ON TUE CONGRESSIONAL
ANTI-POLTOAMY IliLL.-The Salt Lake City News,
speaking of the passage of the Cnllom bill by the
House, says: "The striking out of the Ufth sectlou
rids lt or several or its most repulsive reatures.
They were loo strong for Congress to swallow.
Many thought the House would never pass this
bill tn anv form, and that Its clear invasion o? the
Constitution would kill lt. We cannot say what
the Senate will do with it, but this we can say-if
lt passes, and then should receive the signature
of thc President and become a law, lt will not
meet the wishes oranswer the expectations or its
author. Personally, we care not what action be
taken. Persecution drove u3 from township to
township, and soon to a territory, lt has made
u-strong, thrifty and fearless. The most valu?
able experience we possess to-day wc gain through
persecution, and we do not dread Its effects. If
men wish to push Mormonism ahead let them per
tecutelt. Pass the Culiom bill, and If that fulls,
rat^e armies and attempt to light, drlv- and ex?
terminate, and then watch the results. If the bill
should pass the senate and be signed by the Ex?
ecutive, we may then discuss its merits and prob?
able effect."

Brok? Up, ?cc.
fFROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
CUERAW, March 2".
Last night there occurred in our town one
of thc most remarkable and significant political
meetings that has been held in onr State for some
time. For some weeks, notice of this meeting
had been most Industriously circulated by the
Hon. Mr. Donaldson, among the colored people,
and, of course, had reached thc ears of the whites.
Thc great hypocrite of the First Congressional
District, B. F. Whlttemore, was to address his dear
constituency at the Colored Methodist Church.
Thither the people went. The church was filled
with a large crowd, of which the colored people
formed about two-thirds; the whites about the
other third. A colored man named Smith, of
Darlington, opened the meeting with a short
speech, the barden of which was to denounce
Shrewsbury, representative of the county to the
SUte Legislature.
On taking his seat, Shrewsbury rose, and for
th!ee hours hold the audience spell-bound by bis
unsparing exposure or the unparalleled rascality
and unmitigated hypocrisy of B. F. Whlttemore
and R. J. Donaldson. There .these worthies sat
and listened, amidst the applause of the whole
house, to one ot the most faithful portraitures of
thc manner in which his people had been Imposed
upon under the guise or patriotism and religion.
He proved to his people that their so-called f rienda
were but ravening wolves In sheep's clothing,
and that to return Whlttemore to Congress would
but disgrace themselves, and prove to the Ameri?
can people that the colored people were unworthy
the rights or pi Ivilcge of suffrage. He defied any
one to assert that lie had, as a member of the
Legislature, ever received a bribe.
During the delivery of this remarkable speech,
he gave the liberty to any one to question any as?
sertion or proof or his, stating he would exercise
the same liberty when Whlttemore rose to speak.
Whlttemore began to speak, stating at the out?
set that he was no criminal, nor had he done any?
thing that was wrong, seeking to make the im?
pression that he was an Innocent, persecuted
man, and that he had never deceived the people.
Then rose Shrewsbury to ask. where were thc
forty acres and the mule. Donaldson ordered
Shrewsbury to take bis scat, saying that no ques?
tions wnniii.tiA allowed: and that If he did not he
would order thc negroes to take him ouT or the
house. Shrewsbury told him to give the order.
It was done; but the friends or Shrewsbury were
too many, and arter hair an hoar of yelling and
cursing, Donaldson, rearing that his own head
might be broken, adjourned the meeting.
Thus the great carpetbagger has again been
rebuked, and by those who, bata lew years ago,
carried him in triumph on their shoulders.
H thc colored people will nominate Shrewsbu
ry, the whites, without respect to party, will
unite with them In sending him to Congress.
