THE SOUTu CAROLINA CoMuGssIoNEE.-
The Charleston Courier says that Colonel
Weatherly was informally deputcd by the
South Carolina Legislature TO confer with
the President in regard to political affairs.
While in Washington Colonel Weatherly
succeeded in making the acquaintance Of
several of the leading Radical senators and
representatives, with whom he conversed
freely, and was assured by them that the
constitutional amendment was the uttima-
tm of Congress to the southern States ;
that its adoption by them would remove all
obstacles to their being admitted to repre-
sentation in Congress-" And upon this
foundation were based all the sensation
stories sent to the northern papers in re-
gard TO the expected ratification OF the CON
stitutional amendment by the South Caro-
lima Legislature.

WASHINGTON, December 26.-I learn
that soon after the rc;issembling of Con-
gress the pretended difficulty with respect
TO the admission Of Nebraska and Colo
RADIO VIII he removed. The acts respec-
lively will admit them absolutely, but
clauses will be added requiring them TO
submit the question Of negro suffrage to
the people. or course this Is sheer
snbterfugc. If the people decide to ex-
clude the negro from the right, or, indeed,
If the clause be altogether disregardcd
the new States will nevertheless have full
representation in Congress. This trans
parent humbug was, understand, con-
cocted in secret senatorial caucus, and
was the best terms Sumner, Brown, and
their csnfrereS could obtain-hut they
were sufficient, it seems, to bring them
back in the traces. So suppose the firm
Of Sumner, Wade & Co., which lately so
belligcrently "parted company" may be
regarded as having again started business
under new articles of co-partnership.
From what has come to light of the de-
alterations of the Committee of Ways and
Means In the House, and of Finance in the
Senate, little hope is entertained of lcgis-
latiVe action looking TO reduction OF the
currency, much less of even prospective
return to specie payments. In the face Of
this, however, gold has fallen. Financiers
here are of opinion that the fall is solely
10 be attributed TO the recent understand
ing that the Radicals had, at least for the
present, laid aside their practical rcvolu-
tionary schemes, and that if their tactics
should be changed, and demonstration to
carry them into effect made imminent, gold
would Immediately run up vastly above
any quotations we have seen since the close
of the war. Many eminent men affirm that
there is no solid reason why gold should be
above the premium usual upon an ordinary
suspension of specie paymentS-say from
five to ten per Cent.-eXccpt the unsettled
state Of the country, and the fear that the
reckless course of the revolutionary party
may prccipitate the nation into civil com
motions.

Poor PEOPLE AND Poor MoNEY.-1n n
sermon on the disadvantages OF being poor,
preached by Henry Ward Bcecher last
week, occurred the following:
ain all the troubles and miSchiefS that
arise from false weights and spurious cur
rcncy, it is usually the poor that suffer the
most. Here is a spurious quarter OF a
dollar. The merchant in whose hands it
chances to be, thoughtlcsSIy Of course, (tor
merchants are always honest } passes 1t to
the trader and he, seeing that 1t does not
look quite right, but not thinking it worth
while to scrutiniZe it too closely, passes 1t
to the grocer; and he, glancing at 1t, and
not liking the looks Of it exactly, but not
wishing 10 be over particular, and saying,
Il took il, and must get rid Of it, passes
il to the markct-man; and he, saying, 1T
might as we'll be travelling, passed 1t, as
he was iourneviDg, to the conductor; and
he. knowing that il was not good, but dis
liking to say anything to the man, says 10
himself, Il will keep it and give 1t to some
body else and passes it TO the sewing-wo-
man. She is poor, and person that is
moor is always watched; and when she
offers il, it is discovered to be spurious,
and il is refused. Sadly she looks at il,
and saws, 1t is nearly my whole days
wages, but it is counterfeit, and OF course
must not pass it, and she burns it up, and
so is the only honest one among them all.
Bad bills, spurious currency, almost al
ways settle on the poor at last"

REBEL OR LoYAL.--In the Baltimore
Criminal Court, on the trial of the Judges
Of election for refusing to receive the vote
Of Alexander VI. BriscOc, letter was pro-
dnced, purporting 10 have been written by
BriScoc, dated December Is, 1861, and adj
dressed to Captain }. Avis, Jr., Of Win
chester, Va, in which he expressed SYM
pathy for the cause Of the South. Noltairc
Randall, a detective of Marshal Dodge,
testified to getting this letter from BriScoe,
with the promise that nc would take il TO
Richmond, Va, and have it mailed, but in
stead Of doing that, handed it to Dodge.
Several witnesses were also examined as to
the reputation BriScoe bore while in the
army, when he was prisoner at Columbia,
S. c., they stating that the Federal officers
in the prison doubted his loyalty, and thai
he was spoken of as a rebel. To rcbut this,
BriScoe testified that as general thing the
loyalty Of officers Of Mary landrcgimcntS was
doubted he had heard many such spoken
of as diSloyal; when confined as prisoner
he was one day taken into the presence Of
several rebel officers and offered the posi-
tion Of major, and plenty Of money, i! he
would leave the Federal army, which here
fused to do. Several officers previously in
the service testified to the loyalty Of BriS-
Oc.-SuR.

, KILLED BY CARELESS DoCT0R.-ln
the case of Miss Lila Holingsworth, which
has caused much feeling in Washington
city, the following verdict was drafted but
was not signed By all the jurors: That
the said Lila came TO her death between
the hours of IL and IL o'clock on the night
of the 23d instant from the effects OF an
overdose of opium administered IN medi-
cine prescribed by DR.. Miller and put up
by DR.. Walsh that the opium was com
pounded in the prescription by the drag
gist installing an abbrcviation intended.by
DR.. Miller for elixir for 'extract ;; and
they further find both the physician and
druggist were al fault-the former IN not
writing his prescription more distinctly, and
the latter in not making inquiries as TO the
nature of the case before allowing II TO
leave the store"
Ten of the jurors signed the above as
their verdict, and another juror signed 1T
under protest, while one refused to sign 1T
unless il was made to read as ccnsuringthe
physician only.
AS this is case Of considerable impor-
lance, and the question as to who should
be held accountable in such cases, is one
which should be ruled on by the courts.
We understand that the coroner Will
takeit to the grand jury for their action

THE INVENTORS or FRICriON Matches
The inventor OF friction matches was
AIouzo Dwight Phillips. He worked in
Hammer < ForbeS'S powder mill, in East
Hartford, near Manchester, in 1881, and
there, by mixing the ingredients of pow
der, conceived the idea Of ignitng com
pound by friction aud by experiments he
succeeded in doing it. He was a shoe
maker by trade, and came to Hartford,
where he worked at his trade on Front
street, and attempted also to manufacture
some Of the matches; but his means were
so limited that he could notproduce many.
lie applied to DR.. Abial \. Cooley Qhc
father Of Colonel Samuel Cooley, who was
manufacturing the best liquid backing
ever made, and he assisted Phillips to get
his matchcsi into the market. Soonait the
matches became popular, Phillips went into
partnership with Mr.. Chaplin, OF Cabott-
Vile, and The firm turned out large guam
titles of them. Phillips procured wagon,
and went around the country selling
matches and town or county rights. In
this way he gathered up considerable sums
Of money, but he expended the money as
fast as he got it, and died poor

MORE AS TO TIE CONGRESSIONAL ExCuR-
SIONIsTs.-A correspondent of the National
MteHigencor writes:
On the Orange and Alexandria railroad
they met with Hon. Jeremiah Morton, Of
Orange county, and Colonel Daniel F..
Slaughter, of Culpeper, besides other Viz
ginia gentlemen, who desired to show the
Congressional party every respect and give
them an insight into the real and true feel
ing Of Virginia people.
Senators Foster and Wade made them
selves specially agreeable, and appeared
amazingly gratifed and remarkably well
pleased. They had hardly reached the
historic fields Of Bull Run and Manassas
when these gentlemen expressed them
selves greatly surprised 9, the endless
scenes of desolation and destruction of
lands and other properties, as until now
they could not be made to realize, but are
now compelled to believe and appreciate.
Senators Foster and Ramsey, in company
with General Howard, visited the house of
Major General Gustavus w. Smith, Of the
late Confederate army, and who is now
president of New York iron works COM
pany in operation at Chattanooga, who en-
tertaiued them most handsomely, aud
interchanged conciliatory sentiments. Ge-
neral Smith, ii will be remembered, was
one Of General Howard's instructors at
West Point. | heard citizen to-day, III

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.-On the Sd in
slant, Howard Tillinghast, master machi
mist Of the car shops at Youngstown, Ohio,
received by express small box shipped
from Cleveland. Not expecting anything
OF the kind, he was at once suspicious Of
its contents, and, instead of drawing the
lid, pried open one of the lower corners.
A lot of gunpowdcr fell out. The box was
then thoroughly soaked, and opened on the
side. 1t contained half pound of gun
powder and row Of upright matches 50
arranged as to explode the powder when
the lid was drawn. The murderous con-
trivancc was traced to William llowarth,
one Of the workmcn under Tillingha>t.

The New Orleans Riot Investigation.

NV ORLEANS, December 25.-The Con-
grcssional Investigating Committee have
been in session all day examining six wit
uesses. The evidence denies that after the
first skirmiSh that occurred on Canal street,
and the riot was at an end, squad of police
marched up to the Mechanics Institute,
and, seeing one white man outside, they
fred on him, which was the cause of the
renewed hoStilitcS. The committees to
secure Witnesses for the city have sent in
over fif.y names.
