vtsITORs AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
NEW YoRK, November Washington
| specials to the morning papers say: The
| White House was crowded to-day with visi-
tors, goodly number of whom were ladies.
The President is SO busily engaged now in
writing his annual message and comforting
with the Secretaries and heads of Bureaus,
that he declined to receive any one sepa-
ratslv, and therefore opened the doors of his
room at one o'clock to all the ladies present.
All seemed 10 be patent brokers and besieged
the President on every hand in behalf Of
their particular friends. Their perseve-
rance did not seem to be very well received.
sbUrHc4EouSA LEGISLATURE.
The Herald's Columbia correspondent
sends report Of the Proceedings Of the
South Carolina Legislature up 20 the 4th OF
November. ...-..s
The principal discussions related to the
condition Of negroes. Some Of the mem
bers express strong apprehensions of negro
instructions, and bills have, therefore been
reported for the empowering State officers to
seize all fire arms found in the possession of
the freedmen, and to prevent them hence
forth from becoming possessed with arms ::
and to punish with severity any white per-
son offering to sell the same to them. Meas
ures are also proposed to shut up shops kept
by freedmen. and TO prevent any white per-
son from employinga negro servant without
the consent Of his or her former master be-
ing first obtained.
The South Carolians are very anxious Tor
the removal from their midst Of all Nation
al troops, and the organization of their
State militia. \ proposition was made and
lost, exempting from taxation for two years,
all persons who have suffered seriously in
consequence of the invasion Of the State by
the U. S. military forces.
.. THE JAMAICA INsURREcTIoN.
NEw YoRK. November IA private let
ter from Jamaica gives additional partieu-
lars of the cause Of the insurrection on that
Island. The writer states that the negroes
of ST. Thomas had become greatly in arrears
with their government taxes, the payment
of which was finally peremptorily de
manded by the authorities, and an armed
force to protect the tax collector was ordered
thither. Meantime the negroes appealed
to the courts, the decisions of which were
against them. On the third of these decis-
ions being rendered, directing that the
taxes must be paid, the negroes set fire to
the court house and commenced a furious
attack on the whites, during which two of
of the Judges and other persons were killed.
This was followed up by other outrages till
every white pesron and every colored per-
son known to be in sympathy with the au-
thorities was driven out of the place.
