STREET IMPRovEMENTs.-The Street Com
missioner has nearly finished the work of Wild
ening Plum street by filling up the cellars and
making the temporary sidewalks. The roots
of very large tree on the Mitchell estate still
resists the efforts of the work. s qi., Z.
Mr.. Washington Libby has purchased of
Hon. A. w. II. Clapp the long wooden block
of houses at the foot of Chestnut street and
removed the same around so as to front on
Lincoln street. which will now be continued
and built to Elm or Preble streets, and tbus
bring in quite an amount of very centrally sit
uated land for building purposes
Hampshire street looks finely since its Wild
ening and completion, and it reflects much
credit upon all concerned in the work.
Cross street, we supposed, will be taken up
next, and the contemplated improvements car
ried out between Middle and Commercial
streets The old Printers Exchange is being
removed to the corner of Fore and Bank streets.

A Notabse taegIStratlon. Case.

Hf y -. D. V aI. =. L i.
Mr.. John Janney, of Virginia, who
was President of the Convention
which passed the Virgins Act of Sc
eession, and held many Offices before
the late civil war, which rendered it
necessary for him to take the oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States, applied for registration, and
was refused. Mr.. Janney takes the
ground that, under the ruling of the
Supreme Court, all the test oaths
now required are Unconstitutional,
and, therefore, null and void.
Mr.. Janney is represented as pro-
found constitutional lawyer, and by
treating the penalties prescribed by
Congress as invalid, he throws the
onus of rejection of his offer to re-
gister upon the board registration,
and by this means bring the matter
up before a competent tribunal for
final adjudication.
But we cannot see what benefit
will result from the test proposed by
Mr.. Janney, for it is beyond doubt
that, according to the plain text of
the reconstruction Acts, as well as by
the legal opinion thereon written out
by the Attorney-General, he is not
qualified, from his antecedents, to
register Or vote. The registration
law may be abused in the hands of
those appointed to administer it, but
we think there is neither consistency
or legal eminence displayed in making
tests of points already decided, both
by the law itself and the legal officer
of the Government, who is known to
be opposed to the laws. If we could
see any good to come to the Southern
people by throwing these unnecessary
obstacles in the way of reconstruc-
tion, we might justify them; but we
have seen nothing to support them
but mere sentiment and appeals
from once favorite but exploded po-
litical theories, which, if persisted in
and needed by the Southern people,
Avil drag them down further than
they have already done in the road to
ruin.

JearIy. in the Field.

The attention of the authorities is;
called to che following extracts from
an article published in the Cheraw
IS. CD Advertiser. of the 10th inst. !:
We are informed by q colored free
man mot freedman) that Aaron
Sweat, of Marlboro District, another
colored freeman, (not freedman, who
has always enjoyed all the privileges of
white man, is q candidate for Con-
gress in this Congressional District.
That he has made several appoint
ments, at which he has been met by
crowds of freedmen, to whom he has
made electioneering speeches. In
these speeches, he tells the freedmen
that he gets his papers from the West,
informing him that, in that region,
the radicals are butchering all the old
secessionists, men, women and chill
dren, and argues that the same must
be done here, and that now is the
time to do it. There are other native
born, natural orators, of African do
scent, who also address these meet
ings, using equally violent and incen-
diary language. One Of these, by the
name of Prince, brick-layer by
trade, is also in the field as candi-
date for the convention.
X T.
Some one, or more, has been sup
plying the negroes with arms, until
almost every one Gun show q Federal
musket or rifle, with ammunition in
abundance. These arms are not
merely sporting guns, but are mus
kets and rifles, rigEtfully belonging
to the United States arsenals. Whilst
this was military post, the COM
manders claimed all such arms in the
hands of white men as Government
property-demanded them as such,
and seized them rs such, without re-
gard to how they came into the pos
session of our citizens. Are not the
military commanders bound, and
would they not readily discharge
their obligations by disarming the
negroes, upon complaint, and the
proof to sustain that complaint? We
have no doubt of it. But should they
fail in this important duty, the white
citizens have but one course to pur-
sue, and that is, to prepare, the best
way they can, for self-defence. The
seeds of the storm have been sown
broadcast over the land, and, with
out the interruption of the law, either
State or military, the harvest is not
far off.

The CoNGAEEE BRIDGE.-We copy
the following notice of the new bridge
of the South Carolina Railroad Com
pany, over the Congarec River, from
the Charleston Mercury:
The bridge is Il fine piece OF work,
and the staunchest bridge of the kind
in the South. It's whole length is 40
feet, and it is composed of two spans
of 146 feet, and draw of 147 feet.
The width inside is thirteen feet six
inches, and outside twenty feet.
1t is whaS is known as high
Glove Truss" set upon black cypress
piers, thirty feet above low water, and
five feet above the height reached
by the highest freshet that has been
known.
The builders are Messrs. Renno e.
Co., Mr. j. B. Lassalle superintend-
ing.
There is no doubt that the bridge
is one of the finest works of that de-
scription in wood that has ever been
constructed; and Mr.. Fl. T. Peake.
the able superintendent of the road,
the builders, the supervisor, and ali
persons engaged, are congratulated
upon the energy, skill and perse-
verance which have united to make
the Congaree Bridge great and en-
tire success.

The CoNQUEREIs OF MEXICo. An
article in the New Orleans Crescent,
speaking of the murder of Maxi
milan, says:
"The execution of Maximilian has
a double meaning. It is an act of
protest rs we'll rs of vengeance; the
Indians protest against civilization,
the Indians vengeance against O
Hapsburg for the subjugation of his
ancestors, three centuries ago, to the
dominion of n Hapsburg. Some per-
sons have been asking the meaning of
this reference to the House of Haps-
burg, and we take the liberty to solve
their doubts. Charles Y, Of Spain,
was the son OF Philippe the Fair (son
of Maximilian, Duke of Austria and
Emperor of Germany and of Mary
the Mad, daughter of Ferdinand the
Catholic, of Spain. Thus Charles V,
of Spain, was on his fathers side, n
Hapsburg. This event was what Sc
cured him the preference of Francis
l, of France, before the Diet. 1t was
under Ferdinand the Catholic that
Columbus discovered America, and
the conquest of Mexico took place
under Charles V. Thus, Hapsburg
was the first foreign ruler of Mexico,
and on q Hapsburg-Maximilian, of
Austria Mcxicans avenged their
conqr ST. "
L .emarl1s of the Crescent on this
subject are most happy, and show the
immense influence which a thorough
knowledge of history has upon the
philosophy of that greatest of all
studies.

PROMPT ACTION. New York
Tribune, of the 18th, says:

PROMPT Action. N.-The New York
Tribune, of the 11th, says:
"It is melancholy that arguments
such as those of Mr.. Stevens and Se-
nator Trumbull should still be neces-
sary i'll the American Congress-
these gentlemen should have the
trouble of proving again that the
United States. having put down the
rebellion of ten States, possesses the
right 20 re-organize their Govern
ments, and to hold them under mill
tary rule until that reorganization
is effected. But while Mr.. Brooks
can Sravely cite his visit to the tomb
of Washington as reason why rebels
should be allowed to control Virgi-
mia, and pretend that the Louisiana
Treaty gives France the right to in
terferc with Congress; while Mr..
Wood can make his imaginations of
what Gen. Jackson might have done
rule for what the President should
do-these arguments are probably
unavoidable. There are ignorant
people, even in Congress, who need
to be instructed, and Mr.. Trumbull's
speech admirably explains the justice
OF the supplementary acts which
Congress is about to pass. Yet,
enough has been said on that head,
and we shall be glad to find the Sc
nate prompt to perfect its bill and
pass it. The only necessary subjects
OF debate are the provisions of the
bill itself. General principles have
been absolutely settled, and the espe-
cial business OF Congress is to avoid
the errors of the last session, and to
frame measure which cannot be
misunderstood or cvaded."

JUAREz. has, during the
last year and a half, been culpable in
such ways as to furnish abundant
ground to bring him to judgment
and execution, as soon as the laws
can be asserted; and if the constitu-
tional president, Ortega, whom he
now arbitrarily holds as a prisoner,
does not yet administer to him the
tate OF Maximilian, it will probably
be because he himself first falls as a
victim.

Thou ART THE MAS.-The New

plainness as to the responsibility of
the Secretary of State for the slaugh-
ter of Maximilian. 1t says:

wilfully and deliberately devoted
Maximilian to death, when he might
have saved him by stretching out his
finger; and for this heinous crime,
we arraign him before the tribunal of
public opinion, now and hereafter. {"
