CoURT WEEE.-Court was opened in due form
on Monday, I'd inst, and the Grand Jury being
empannelted, his Honor Franklin J. Moses deliv-
cred to them an impressive and eloquent charge.
We were pleased that his Honor ayailed himself
Of this occasion to address some pointed remarks
to parents with respect to the management Of
their sons, and the duty of enforcing strict obe-
dience to parental authority. He urged upon the
yeung the necessity OF repressing the disorderly
spirit, and of avoiding the vices and corruptionS,
incident to the times and upon all the Importance
Of sustaining the laws of the land and maintain
ing the peace and dignity Of the commonwealth.
As Judge, he exhibits sound judgment, con-
siderable powers Of discrimination, quickness to
perceive. and grasp the points of case, prompt
ness in decision, and much energy in pushing
forward the business of the Court. While he
sustainS the dignity of his Office, he avoids the
austerity of the crime. With heart full of the
milk of human kindness, he is kind and afable to
all, administering justice tempered with mercy.
In Short he is just the kind ola man we like to

WAsHNGro:', Ap,H 6.-The President today,
transmitted TO Congress the communication from
the Secretary. Of the Treasury and Postmaster
General, suggesting some notifications of the
test oath They show the great Importance OF
such legislation, beth in a pccunary and harmo-
nioas, point Of view, and the President earnestly
eomnends the subject to the early consideration
of Congress. The communication was referred
to Committee on the Judiciary.
In the Senate, Mr.. Lane, Of Kansas, offered
joint resolution, today, proposing the admission
of the Southern States TO representation in Con-
gFess on condition Of repudiating the Confed
crate debt, endorsing the Federal debt, annul-
ling all ordinances Of secession, and granting the
right Of suffrage to colored persons who pay a
tax on $3.50 worth Of property, and who can read
and write.
Mr. Lane spoke Of the necessity for Immediate
action on the subject Of reconstruction, to save
the Republican party.
The veto message was taken up, and some sharp
conversation ensued between Laue aad Meade.
The former endorsed the President with great
vigor. Tic discussion created considerable SEN
Sation.z Further debate enslo lod, which was kept
up TO 6 o'clock. No vote had been taken.
In the House, to-day Brooks was Sunseated and
Dodge voted in.
L4TER,-The civil rights bill, in the Senate,
this evening, passed over the Presidents veto by
a vote of thirty-three to fifteen. The excite
ment here is intense

5 MR. BROOKS ExPELLED.-The House Of Repre-
sentatives of the present Rump Congress filled
up the measure Of its infamy yesterday, by cX-
ps3ling James Brooks from the seat to which nc
vas elected BY the people Of thc~Eghth Congress
SIGNAL District Of th:sHState, and voting into his
seat Mr William E. Dodge who was not elected,
although it is known and admitted that he used
tens of thousands Of dollars corruptly to secure
the suffrages of the voters Of the locality.
A little plain talk on this matter will do no
harm. -
Nessrs. Radicals of the Rump Congress, do you
not see that by expelIing Senator Sto kton, and
EoRgreSsnen Baldwin, Voorhees, and Brooks, to
accomplish purely party ENDS, you justify and in
Tite ike Violence? You use fraud and force TO
add to your numbers ;and you canGot, i'll reason,
object; if some power, superior to yours, should
adopt your methods in its dealings with you
There is, iQtrinSically, no more saeredncss in the
Republican maioritcs which elected Thad. Ste
vens, Wentworth, or Bingham, than in the Dem
oeratic ,maiorities which chose Baldwin, Foor-
ltees aud Brooks s5fno ruie of justice obtains
IN the one case, neither does it in the other.
You Rick Representatives out of their seats be-
eaase you have the power, and in so doing 10
ali moral status with the country. Should the
kicking process be turned against yourselves, re-
Tnemberit it were You who made force the arbiter.
It'sa poor rule that viii not work both ways.
Hereafter, the deliberations Of this irregular
nody can have no value to the public We de-
ay that it is a Congress Of the United States. 1t
not enly excludes eleven States, but it reduces
ifs own membership by violence TO carry on a
ySaragainSt the integrity OF the Union. Its re-
cord is already the most shameful page in our
history.-New York HorLd, 7th instant:

We notice by the Phnnir of Columbia, that
this gentleman has gone North for the purpose Of
soliciting aid in the building of the Washington
Street, Methodist Church, and Sunday School
room, destroyed in General Shcrman's general
conhagration. His mission surely should be sue
ccssful The religious press speaks of him in

The past has been a week of much interest to
the citizens this District and hundreds thronged
our streets and Court room to witness the pro-
cccdings OF an cld-tashioned Court, presided
over by a newly made Judge. The trial of seve-
raj important CRIMINAL cases, uron which were
employcd some of the best talent ofoUr own and
adjoining districts, kept up the interest and &C.
cupied the time Of the Court until Saturday after
noon. The State as. Finch for the killing cf Dr.
King, was called up on Tuesday, and occupied
the whole day in the examination of witnesses
On Wednesday the Court rc-assem6led at 9
o'clock to hear the argumentn the case, conduct
ed CT the part OF the Ssate By Solicitor Reed, as
sisted By Ex-Governor Perry, and for the pris
oner by MesSrs. Bobo and Carlisle, and Williams
Of Yorkvlle. Capt. Carlisle acquitted himself we'll,
in this his first effort before jury, and exhibited
some elements ola good peader. Mr.. Williams,
al hough stranger at our bar, was evidently at
home before the jury. His huency Of speech
aud ccarness Of expression, his searching analy-
sis Of the testimony and Logical acuTen ii apply
ing the fac: to the point Of the case showed him
to be no NOVICE in the legal art and he was lis
tened to, throughout his lengthy speech, with
profound attention. After a long and able
charge from His Honor, the jury retired to their
room about dark, and spent the night in matu-
ring a verdict Of not guilty for the dawn Of the
next day.
The case Of tie State u.s. Jefercs for the killing
Of Sparks, was taken up on Thursday morning,
and occupied the Court until Friday afternoon.
We regret that other engagements prevented our
hearing all the testimony and the argument in
this case The Solicitor was assisted by Hon.
Wallace Thompson, Of Union, in the prosecution,
and the prisoner was defended by IesSrs. Bobo,
Carlisle, Williams, and COL Evins. The jury re-
turned verdict Of not QuiNy.

THE CHARLESTON BOARD OF T2ADE--is now fully
organized. Permanent officers were elected on
Wednesday night last and, from what we know
of the gentlemen entrusted with these reSpoasl-
bic positions, We have no doubt they will lis
charge their duties with zeal, energy and i;telii-
renee, to the satisfaction Of the Society, and the
advancement Of the commercial interests of Char
lesion.
W. s. Hastie, Esq, is one of our oldest mer-
chants-hs house was established here nearly
half century ago, and he is thoroughly identi-
fed with the commerce Of our city. He has the
growth and prosperity Of Charleston much at
heart, and we feel assured he will be constantly
engaged deyising ways and means for the speedy
accomplishment Of this end.
There is much to tax the energies Of the Char
lesion Board Of trade; as has been so eloQuently
stated by Mcssrs. Marshall, Haste, Strauss, and
Others There is a large burned district to be
rebuilt the streets are to be paved warehouses
erected railroads constructed and repaired. The
banks formerly known to our merchants and
planters are now in q lamcntable state of insol-
vencv. The stock Of merchandise on hand is
heavy, and trade slack, because money is still
scarce in the districts on which our trade Ge-
pends
To remedy these evils, as far as they can, is
the endeavor Of this newly formed association.
Combination and concert of action are necessary
for the attainment Of such a purpose. We con-
gratulate our merchants on the organization OF
this Board We wish it the fullest success, and
shah ever take pleasure in 81 6pf fbe s

and supporters Of the President in Washington

prepared, will expressly authorize this relief.
There is pretty good authority for saying
that there will be no further sales Of gold by

not for long while to come. The pc. cy will
be rather to hoard, and to leave the gold mar
