Tho National Intelligencer says th ut,
let tho present contest terminate ns
it may, there is ono reform which
may be, and wo hope will bo, accom?
plished. It is tho restoration to tho
Presidential office of its proper con?
stitutional functions, as they were
exercised by ail the Presidents from
Washington down to Lincoln, inclu?
sive, until the present congressional
Jacobins usurped these functions for
their own purposes, seizing what did
not bolong to them, upon tho old
pretence,of public safety, and the in?
sincere promise of a speedy return.
PoiiAR EXPEDITIONS.-From tho
ninth and tenth centuries to the nine?
teenth, from tho discoveries of the
Icelanders and Northmen, who were
the first Arctic explorers, to those of
Sir John Franklin, Dr. Kano and Dr.
Hayes, the polar regions have had a
fascinating interest for both the com?
mercial and the scientific world. The
dream of commerce that a North?
west passage would be found a prac?
ticable road to the Indies was long
ego dispelled. But science still de?
mands further and more complete
explorations than any whioh have
hitherto been made. The ocean
cabio announces that two scientific
expeditions to the North Pole aro
now fitting out-one at Havre, under
Lutnbert, and the other at Bremen,
under Poterninn, tho celebrated Prus?
sian savant, whoso views of Arctic
geography were corroborated by Dr.
Kano's discoveries of a Polar Sea.

Tho question of Queen Victoria's
abdication is again being cautiously
agitated in England. This time,
however, it is viewed from a financial
stand-point, the entire policy of the
English people being directed toward
national retrenchment. In view of a
late increase of alarming symptoms
of the hereditary affliction of the
Guelph family, to such an extent as
to almost entirely unfit her for the
discharge of State duties, it is now
thought the incoming Parliament will
be disposed to retire her with a hand?
some douceur, in order to get rid of
the annual appropriation to her pri?
vate parso of two and a half millions
of dollars, to say nothing of other
incidental expenses, consequent upon
maintaining her separate establish?
ment, whioh amounts to twice as
much moro. Nothing but the most
honorable uud chivalric motives have
protracted this event to the present
time, and it is now merely a question
whether they shall still weigh against
what the more sensible of English
statesmen regard as the interests of
the throne and people.
SOME GOOD IN KANSAS.-We are
{.hui to know that Kansas is looking
up, and judge from the following that
there is a chance for "bleeding Kan?
sas" yet:
"Tho women of Kansas, although
nnub?o to obtain a female suffrage,
liuvo one rigbt which is worth more.
In a recent number of the Lawrence
Tribune, tho following peculiar ad?
vertisement appears:
"To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I
hereby give notice that tho sale of
spirituous liquors to Homer Hays is
contrary to my wishes, and that I
shall prosecute, according to law, any
perron who disregards this notic .
"CATHARINE HAYS.
"By tho laws of Kansas, it appears,
women can prosecute any landlord or
saloon keeper who sells liquor to
their lords and masters."
A WAR RELIC.-We have seen a
copy of Gen. Beauregard's private
correspondence, from the time ho
took command at Corinth, to his oc?
cupation of Chattanooga, just before
Bragg entered Kentucky. It con?
tains the secret history of that army
during tho period named. It is now
the private property of a gentleman
is-i?ns city. By the way, it is a fact
not generally known, that tho United
States Government never succeeded
in capturing tho records of tho Con?
federate War Deportment. They
wcro last seen in North Carolina, not
long beforo tho surrender of Gen.
Johnston. Wo suspect they were
destroyed, but thor may bc in ex?
istence yet.

VALUABLE
AND EXTENSIVE
WATER POWER/
IN TUE
CITY OF COLUMBIA. S. C.
ri lil IS undersigned Commissioners, ap
X pointed by tbe General Assembly of
South Carolina, at ita lato session, will re?
ceive bid? for tho valoablo Water Tower
known as tho COLUMBIA CANAL, until
tho 5th day of JANUAliY, 1869.
The Canal is eight thousand six hundred
and fifty-four (8,654) yards long, and the
average fall for tho first three miles is
fourteen feet, commencing at ten lect, at
Upper street, iu Columbia, and attaining
nineteen feet ono inch at Bridge street;
tho remaining two miles, from Bridge
street to its mouth, commences at nine?
teen foot ten inches and attains a fall of
twenty-five feet.
Eino building sites exii>t between tho
Canal and River, giving complete protec?
tion to buildings and machinery from
freshets. Tho State, through tho"under?
signed, will convey tho Canal, and all its
appurtenances, together with thc right of
way for 100 feet on each aide of the centro
of tho Canal, to the purchaser. Compen?
sation to the adjacent land owners, for tho
right of way, to bo made by thc purchaser;
on tho same just and equitable terms that
tho right of way tvas convoyed to the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad Compa?
ny by Act of Dceomber 15, 1815.
This power has been accurately surveyed
by ProL John LeCoutc, of tho Soutb Ca?
rolina University. He estimates that by
doubling tho original capacity of tho
Canal, as required by tho Act. that tho
power secured to Bridge street will bo :)55
horse-power, the average head being four?
teen feet; and from Bridge street to its
mouth 532 horse-power, with an average
head of twenty-one feet, and a current of
one foot per second. With a current of
two feet per second the powers would Lc
710 and 1,0(51 horse-power; and if tho ma?
chinery is not ran at night thc power may
be doubled, by accumulating water in re?
servoirs.
"As thc uupuly of water," says Pr.>f.
LeConto, "which may Oe turned from the
River into the Canal al its head is almost
unlimited, the Canal can be enlarged tu an
extent commensurate with the demand for
water power. It' dcsired,*it may be made
to supply water to the extent of 5,000
horso-power or more. Tn fact, by verv
simple arrangements, one-third, or one
half, or oven more, of tho whole water in
Broad River might be turned into such an
enlarged Canal."
This water power is within the limits of
the city of Columbia, and contiguous to
railroads which connect it with nearly
every County iu the State of South Caroli?
na, and with tho adjoining States of North
Carolina and Georgia, and their abundant
supplies of cotton, rico, corn, wheat, beef,
pork, and other vegetable and animal pro?
ductions, and also in daily communication
with tho soa-portsof Charleston, Savannah
and Wilmington. Tho city is supplied !
with gas and lino water; thc climate is sa- '
lubriouh and healthy, being above the
miasmatic region; lands in the vicinity
aro cheap, and thc soil fertile; and there
aro but few sections in the South which
present greater attractions for settlement
or residence. Tho water power, from its
magnitude and advantages, is unequaled
by any in South Carolina, and unsurpassed
by any iu tho Southern country.
Tho property will bo sold on tho follow?
ing conditions, to wit: let. The purchaser
shall, within two years from tho dato of
conveyance, complete tho widening and
deepening of said Canal to at least twice
its original capacity. [Its original capaci?
ty was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet
at bottom, and four feet in depth. To
doublo it, according to Prof. LcConto's re?
port, it will require tho removal of 36,107
cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards
of stone, to Bridge street; and from Bridge
street to its mouth 22,176 cubic yards of
earth, but no stone.] That tho same shall
always be kept open for boating purposes,
freo of charges, for toll or otherwise, to
where it is now used. [This will not inter?
fere at all with the water power for driving
machinery, as boats only doscoud as far as
the first lock, near Upper street.] That
tho water shall not be permitted to become
stagnant, and that it shall not bo used for
other than hydraulic purposes. And that
thero shall bo a reservation to the State of
water power sufficient for tho purposos of
tho State Penitentiary, for all timo, free of
charge. (This is estimated, at the maxi?
mum, at 100 horso-power.] And upon tho
further condition that tho work of widen?
ing and deeponing tho said Canal shall bo
co mine rice il within six months, and the
sum cf $10,000 shall be expended on the
samo within twelvo months from thc dato
of conveyance
That one-third of tho sum bid shall bo
paid within thirty days after notice of ac
coptanco of bid: one-third at tho expira?
tion of six months thorefrom, and tho re?
maining third at tho expiration of twelve
months. Titles delivered on payment of
first instalment; and the title herein pro?
posed to bo convoyed shall revert to the
state on default hoing roado of any of tho
foregoing conditions, including payment
of all tho purchaao money.
Parties sending bids will please furnish
tho Commissioners with reference as to thc
ability promptly to make good the s,ame.
Every facility will be afforded for the ex?
amination of the property, and communi?
cations may bo addressed*to

"BEE STOKE"-IT IS LIKE THE BEE
STOKE.-C. F. Jacksou surely has a
run of trade; his place is crowded
each day, and his assistants are as
busy as bees.
A busy man is a locomotive, and
life a track. Every night ho drives
into "tho house," and stops. Every
morning ho is fired up anew, and
away he goes switching off in one di?
rection and then in another. In this
routine of business he forgets that
the physical organization is of the
mo:.t delicate kind. If a hard iron
locomotive needs constant care, and
to bo well oiled up and rubbed off
every day, how muoh moro necessary
is it that all men and women should
uso PLANTATION BrrrBRs, which are
the ne plus ultra ot ovorytbing which
is necessary to keep the -system in a
perfect tone of health.
MAGNOLIA WATER-Superior to the
best! imported German Cologne, and
