The Grand Jury of Lexington and thc Attorney-General-A Special .Militia Bills introduced-Thc Ban?:, of the State. i [FROM OUE OW.N COBEESPOKTtEST.J CoLUjiBiA, s. C., December 17.-Ix THE SEN? ATE, a teport was submitted by the Committee on Offices and Officers, recommending rijat the preseutmeat ot the Grand Jury of Lexington bo ?aid on the table. In this presentment they stated that the bonis of thc county treasurer had been rejected by tho county commission? ers, but had afterwards been approv-jd by the Attorney-General, and asked that tho law bc amended so that the Attorney-General should have no such supervising power. In a report made by the Attorney-General to the commit? tee on tho subject, that officer says : The bond of Mr. Haves, duly executed, wa s presented to the Board of Comity Commission? ers of Lexington County for their approval. The board refused to approve it. Mr. Hayes then presented it to mo and asked me to ap? prove it. Upon evidence satisfactory to me, but especially upon the certificate of his Honor Judge Boez/r, to the effect that tho sureties wore amply sufficient, I exercised tho authority conferred cm me by tho second section of the act entitled "An act to exton I tho timo for officers to qualify," and approved the bond. I certainly have no apology to ofT.-r to the Grand Jury of Lexington County for my action. Tho case of Mr. Hayes was plainly one of tho cases which the Legislature intended to pro? vide for when conferring th: power upon meto approve bands which tho County Commission? ers had refused to approve. Il was nothing less than cross, bitter and malignant partisan? ship which dictated tho action of the County Commissioners, and the Grand Jury, anxious, it would seem, to share the disgrace, now lends themselves with alicrity to the samo pitiful business. As a farther illustration of the spirit which has characterized this whole proceeding on the part of the officials of Lexington County, 1 will mention that titer I had approved the boori in question, it was presented to thc Clerk of the Court for Lexington County. This official also refused to record the bjud, al? though he wed knew that the duty required of him was simply a ministerial one, and that the bond was daly executed iu all respects. Upon this statement of facts, I advised his Excellency the Governor to order the Secretary of State to record the bond and to issue tho commis? sion. I am happy to add that his Excellency promptly adopted that course, and the unscru? pulous enemies of our State were foiled tu , their designs. Ihe report was ordered for consideration to? morrow. The report recommending that the Senate ?o in f ature meet m the college library was adopted. Mr. Arnim save notice of a bill to incorp> rate the Vaucluse Manufacturing Company of the County of Edgefield.

Thc Subject of Cotton Manufactures in the South-Views of Senator Sprague A Flattering Opinion of Southern Fac? tories-The Advantages of thc South over New England and as a Competi? tor for thc Indian Trade-The Liiibor Question Solved-Thc Lesson Taught by New Knglanrt now being Learned by South Carolina-A Glorious Future. Wc desire to say a few words more with es? pecial regard to tho manufacture of cotton fabnes and yarns in South Carolina, and will then leave the subject for tho present in tho hands of our readers. It is a matter in which we have a deep interest, and this it is which induces us to try to pcrsuide the people of South Carolina to embark their surplus moans in manufactures, and particularly in thc spin Ding of then' own cotton. We aro fully satis? fied that it is the very best thing they can do, and we are convinced of its practicability by our own experience, as well as by thc state? ments lately made by some of tai largest and most competent manufacturers of New Eng? land, who say that wo can and do produco goods in South Carolina and Georgia cheaper than th',., can be produced in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. THE VIEWS OF SENATOR SPilAOUE. If ourpcoplo will not believe us, let them listen to tho words ot the largest cotton man? ufacturer in America, Senator Sprag.ie. of Rhode Island. This gentleman, at a dinner party given to him tho other day at the ' Charleston Hotel, by a few of our leading citi? zens, said that "it would surprise the people of the South, and still moro surprise the peo? ple of the North, to know,-what is a fact,-that the best cotton factory of its size aud kind in America is to be found in the city of Augusta, Georgia; and that in looking at tho subject fiom a manufacturer's paint of view, taking the productions per hand and per spindle, and comparing them with the work in other mills running on tho same class of goods, ho found that these Southern goods were equil to aDy ol their kind seon in the Northern markets." THE SOUTH AND THE INDIAN TABN TBADE. But this is not all. Senator Sprague went oa to say that "you"-meaning the Southern people-"can do what we"-meaning the peo? ple of New England-"cannot do. With your ?rreat advantages you can compete with Eng? land for her Indian yarn trade. You ought to 3pin a large part of your crop and ship it in that state, instead of shipping the raw ma- . teriaL" Let our readers remember those very im? portant statements, for they come from the largest American spinner-a man of wide ob-, servation and fully conversant with the things jf which he speaks, and a man friendly enough ;o us to tell us what he knows to be to our jest interests to understand. We trust that Senator 8prague will purdon us for quoting lis remarks as we have done, and feel that ;heir publication is justified by the vast im? portance of the eubjoct, and the weight which lis opinion upon it must have with an intelli rent public. Wo may add that the views of 1 Jenator Sprague are fully sustained by every arge Eastern manufacturer who has visited : he fae torios of this State and Goorgia during 1 ho present year. WHAT HAS B2EN AND CAN BE. It is also well known, and admitted io bo i fact beyond controversy, that the most uccesaful cotton factory in tho United States, leforo the wa? was that at 8aclbyville, Ton- : lessee, which was run outircly by uegro slaves, iverseed by their mxstora. This factory made uoney when others lost, and mado largo gains rnen others mado small prouts. And yat in- ' elligent men aro to be found, oven in Charles - on, who do not, nay will not, believe that it is lossiblc for us to suceso! as cotton nnnufac urers. Tue difference iu favor from sjiiuuiu,: our wu cotton, from savings in froight, waste, rom cheaper labor, mildness of clinuto,and nany other causes, amounts to fully fifteen por eut. This fifteen per cent., in itself a large irofit, is tho advantage which we have over lew England. Our water power is limitless. ?ho salubrity of our middle aud mountain ountry is such that wa scarcely need tho phy ician, and our neit'hooring white population, /hon drawn into connection and instructed in heir work, as has been done at Grauitevillo nd many oth?r places, aro inf-'rior to none in he world. And this class of labor is much arger in the South than ii commonly be? te vc J. THF. LAB 111 QUESTION. There always was a large supply of xh'u white i abor, and thc results of the war have made dc lendaut on their own exorn?nos at least a [Darter of a million of wjnicn and children rho otherwise would uover have boon obliged o labor for bread. Ard if wc do not employ heso in mills aud tao tories, what is to bo? onie of thom? We cannot see them starve, .'hey must and will hu supported.by tho public, r ciao bc made, as they eau bo made, a most mportant part of our population. Wc must ithcr build for them factories, schoolhouses nd churches, or poorhouses, penitentiaries nd jails. And wo must remember lhat every housaud dollars invested in cotton factories ives employment to two, and support to t least four, of these hcJplesw women and hildren. SHALL THE STATE EE INDEPENDENT ? Are the yeoplo of South Carolina willing lager to remain :iierely tho producers of raw ?aterials, tiller* of tho soil, and dependents a others for every manufactured article ? Wc rust not. We behove that thc war has taught I LS better, and t?o.t a now order of things is awning which before long will produco great \ esults. Lat the Kalmia .Mills be liuished; lot I 'auclusc be rebuilt; let other factories be start- 1 don the splendid water-power at Columbia, , .ow offered for salo by the State. Let us spin < ur own cotton; make and manufacture our own 1 I ron; manufacturo our osvn phosphates; build ur own locomotives, cars, wagons tiudploughs; ( aake our own sashes, doors, blinds, buckets, irooms and shoes; iu Bhort, let us as a people, ?hile we devoto greater attention than ever o such lauds as wo do plant, not bo satisfied rith being merely au agricultural St itc, but Liversify our industries, aud diversify even ur agricultural pursuits. Let it no longer bc j aid that while hickory grows on every farm mr axe handles aro made in Missouri; and rhile kaolin abounds in the State, every plate m our tables is made in Staffordshire or New ' roney. Wo may then reasonably h>po to karo in the prespcrtty and progress of the fi-cat age in which wo live. TUE LESSON OF NEW ENGLAND. Nsw England was dissatisfied with the war j if 1812-15, because it ruined her cDmuierco. !hc then threatened to leave the Uuion which 1 he has lately tried so hard aud so successful- 1 y to save; but in losing her commerce she lirected her attention to manufactures, aud thc rhole wot ld knows tho result. Let us leam a lesson from her, and the day is Dot far distant when a prosperity will reig amongst us wliich we never knew before. Al ready is capital beginning to accumulate in thc South. The present crop will leave a large balance in thc hands of our people. What will they do with it ? They do not want to purchase lands, for they uow own more than they need. They cannot invest il in slaves as formerly, and they will hardly keepit hoarded up. Thc day for that is past. Tho affairs of the country are settled for soaie time to come, and surplus means must bo invested in manu? factures, railroads and other works of the kind. Thc sooner we begin to do th?w. ihe sooner shall we see thc prosperity we so ardent? ly desire. CONG lt ESS [OSAL SO TES.

Thc readers ol THE NEWS wiildonbtless wel? come, from time to timo, briot extracts from the full reports of thc proceedings of Congress touching those points wherein they aro moro particularly iutoiested, and regarding which the daily telegraphic outline is too meagro to bc satisfactory. These, togother with such bits of current political gossip on Congressional topics as concern our people, it shall bc our endeavor reg ularly to supply. THE SOUTHERN SliLITIA BILL. Tho bill providing for cbc formation of looal militia in tho seven reconstructed States de? veloped some events of interest in thc debates in tho Senate on Tuesday. It came out that the bili is only preliminary-intended to be re? alized in detail by the other bill now before the Military Committee, which provides for the issuing of two thousand stand of arms, of im? proved Springfield pattern, to each Congres? sional District in tho reconstructed States, with two batteries of artillery ; the same to bo distributed by tho Governors to loyal compa? nies in those districts. Thus tho full and pow ful equipment of a standing negro army is to bo provided fe*. In support of tuts design Wilson recounted four thousand murders in Texas since November 4, and stated that more Union men have been murdered in thc South since the 1st of January, 18C7, than were killed at Gettysburg. Ho told of one disloyal Louisianian who boasted he had pinked one hundred and twenty Union men with his own hand ac Opelousaa. To this narration by the sonitor do description can do justice. Ho was iu his most God-fearing, lib eny-loving vein, and delivered the fiction with a contempt for grammar and pronunciation which brought tears to the eyes of an open eared intelligent contraband in the gallery. In tho discussion of the bill several of the uow senators from the South made their debut. Warner, of Alabama, exchanged complim ents with Garrott Davis on tho virtue of scalawags and carpet-baggers, and was so sensitive as to insist that ho hud lived at least eighteen months m the State, and had a rieht to bc considered a regular representative. k Mr. Sawyer, of South Carolina, is said to have made tho best speech of tho occasion, and iga* respectful, intel? ligent and direct. In tho couran of his re? marks, he said that in So.uh Carolina and thc other Southern States the loyal people were uoarmod, while tho opposing party hid plenty of arms, and were not scrupulous in the uso of them. Tho government of South Carolina was not, ho said, a government of the m ; iori ty, hut was sustained by a majority of th J r copie, including those disfranchised. Tho i clicy of tho loyal men was so liberal that u i der the present State Government of South Carolina every citizen of tho State could hold > .ice. Ho desired this prohibition to be repealed because a mdilia was neccspary in thc Southern States, und also because if their governments wore real Stato governments, thoy ought to have tho power lo orgauize aud call out tho militia when ncccs8aiy. REMOVAL OF POLITICAL DISABILITIES. In the House of Representatives on Wednes? day Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, from the Commit? teo on Reconstruction, reported a bill romov ing political di8abUitv from Andrew Rams ev, W. L. Elliott, W. A. Daniels, J. A. Woodward, W. J. Nixon, J. W. Bingham, C. E. Palmor, and George Lewis, citizens of South Carolina. Mr. Paine sent to tho clerk's desk a statement relative to these men, signed by the Souih Carolina delegation. Mr. Brooks, of New York, sug ;ested that all the documents had bettor bo printed, so as to havo them on record. He boped, that as uni? versal lipgio malo sutfrago had been establish? ed in the South, universal white malo suffrage would Boon be established also. Slr. Ifturn cs worth, of Illinois, moved to amend tho bill by inserting therein the namo or tno Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee. This was agreed to, and thc bill, as amended, passed. A Washington letter of Tuesday says : The speech of Senater Ferry this morning may be rotrarded as the first hearty responso from any prominent member of the Radical party to General Grant's lamous declaration, '.lot us havo peace." Mr. Perry took broad ground in favor of a completo and absolute wiping out ol'all (ho political disabilities now imposed upon the S futborn people, and did not hesitate to assure iii? associates that such an act of domeney could not only bo safely performed, but that its inevitable tendency would be lo restore harmony and fraternal feeling. Mr. Ferry was listened lo with great attention, bul his remaras struck too much at tho very base of Radi eal supremacy to meet frith much lavqr. It is a matter ofrogret that the assertion is warranted that ho is without doubt tho only senator of his party who favors tho immediate removal of theso unjust politi? cal disabilities. "JUDGE" UNDERWOOD. Thc same correspondent writes : The extraordinary conduct of Judge Under? wood iu opening thc prison doors to all con? victs in Virginia has at last attracted the at? tention of Congress, and the resolution of Senator Williams, o'' Oregon, was adopted, directing thc Senate Committee ou tho Judici? ary to inquire if theio bo no way to arrest such :t proceeding, and it is understood the commit? tee will act promptly in the premisos, lt was Declared by Senator Williams to be thc first in? stance ever known where the aciion of a court 'tcfitctu were sci asido and criminals, regularly sonneted, turned loose upon a community, simply because (be i ulcer presiding was ascer? tained to bc not a judtre dc jure.

Thc actors this most melancholy scene were Dr. William T. West, of Liberty Hill, and Dr. Thomas H. Patterson, living eight or nine miles below the village.
