is also true that the prejudice, if you will
so call it, has increased at each successive
period of time, and the irresistible inference

greater will be their repulsion, and the
stronger the prejudice; and the gentleman
who would seek to fasten them still more
strongly to this land by comforting upon
them the privilege of citizenship, NAV be

mark the Christian humility, silence and
subIimity of the heroic woman as she bowed
her head in child-like obedience to the
words OF Gods holy minister and walked
to meet her death at the hands of the tremb-
ling haugman: and behold how just and
uusearchable the ways of Him, into whose
hands she yielded her spirit. While her
blood d-stained murderers are driven to the
necessity of approving the shooting of Max
imilian, the illegality of her death has been
proclaimed even by the lips OF
their feasted and fatted Beast
Ben Butler. Verify, the way of the trans
gressor is hard Soon, 1 fear, will the
measure of their iniquity be filed. Yet,
may they be saved from suicide, rather
than follow the example of him who closed

herself at his feet in a last appeal to oficia
clemency. Had Preston K ing not shut the

SPRING TERM.

The Court Of General Sessions and Common
Pleas for this District convened on Monday last,
Judge GLOVER presiding. The business is progress
ing at this writing, but We are unable to indicate
The amount before the Court, nor whether the en-
tire week will be occupied. We have heard of no
important case on docket. While in the Court
for few minutes on yesterday, we observed that
Solicitor REED was ut his usual ayocation namely,
prosecuting with vigor and ability offenders against
thc law.
His Honor seems patient md placid as Of yore,
and we are gratifed to note that he is in apparent
y good health.
The attendance Of members of the "green-bag"
fraternity is unusually large. In fact, We do not
remember ever to have seen 30 many lawyers from
distance before. Our eyes were dazzled by the
imposing array of legal talent, and an Involuntary
emotion of pleasure was felt for the growing dis
position TO defend the people and protect their
lawful rights. We noticed among the visiting mem
bers of the bar, che Hon. B. F. PERRY, Col. G. F.

per cent of his debts or unless .fourths Of his
creditors assent in writing to his bankruptcy.--
Preferences and fraudulent conveyanccs are de-
cared void by the net, and suitable provisions are
made for the voluntary bankruptcy of partnerships
and corporations
The exemptions under the law are as follows:
The necessary household and kitchen furniture,
and such other articles and necessaries of such
bankrupt as the assignee shall designate and set
apart, having reference in the amount to the fami-
| ly, condition and circumstances of the bankrupt
but altogether not exceed in value in any case the
sum of $500; and also the wearing apparel of such
bankrupt, and thar of his wife and children, and
the uniform, arms and equipments of any person
who is or has been soldier in the militia or in the
service Of the United States and such other prop
erty as now is OF hereafter shall be exempted from
attachment or seizure or levy on execution by the
laws of the United States, and such other property
not included in the foregoing exceptions, as is e1-
empted from levy and sale upon execution or other
process or order Of court by the laws Of the State
in which the bankrupt has his domicie at the time
Of the commencement Of the proceedings in bank
ruptcy to an amount not exceeding that allowed by
such State exemption laMsin force in the year 1864
Acts of involuntary bankruptcy under the law
are classified as follows Departure or absence
from the State where debts ore owed, with intent
to defraud the creditors; conceslment to avoid
service of process for the recovery Of debit con-
coal1ont Of property 10 afSid seizure on legal pro-
CESS; assignments designed to delay, defraud or
hinder creditors; arrest and detention for seven
days, under execution for debt exceeding one
hundred dollars, actual Imprisonment for seven
days in civil action founded on contract for one
hundred dollars; assignment, gift, confession OF
;udgment or any other act by which preference is
given to any creditor, endorser or surety; dishon-
orihg commercial paper, or suspending and not
resuming payment for fourteen days. The petition
for an adjudication of bankruptcy in such cases
may come from one or more creditors whose debts
reach two hundred and fifty dollars but the peti-
tion must be brought within six months after the
act of bankruptcy has been committed. In invol-
UNFAIRLY bankruptcy the proceedings are made
moro stringent than III the ohef description of
cases. The penalty for any fraud or concealment,
direct or indirect, under the act, is imprisonment
with or without hard labor, for term not exceed
ing three years.

CRIME IN NEW YORK,

The New York Tribune has very sensible arti-
cls upon the subject Of "The Mystery Of Murder" !"
IN the course Of which it furnishes sone very start
hing facts. Amongss: others is the, statement that
In the city of New York there were, during the
yeae 1866, mo fewer than seventy-one homicides
and murders, without including numerous cases OF
death by drowning or other meals, where it was
not ulear whether or not there had been foul play.
Only thirty-three persons were arrested for these
crimes and the records Of the courts show only
fifteen convictions (several Of which were for Of
fences committed in previous year, with nine
teen prisoners still to be tried That is to say, OF
the perpetrators of clear and unmistnkable homl-
cides in New York more than fifty per cent are
not arrested, and nearly eighty per cent are not
punished,
We would sdggestto Congress that New York
might afford ample room for an investigating COM
nittee to inquire into the best mode Of preventing
crime. AS that city now supports a standing
army Of more than two thousand policemen, mill
tary rule would prove Intellectual. We cannot ven
ture remedy, however, and leave the subject to
those enlightened patriots who are shocked with
an occasional murder in the entire Southern Statcs

Who are disqualified {


This question is frequently asked, in connection
with the operations of the Military Bill. The fol
lowing statement from the pen Of an eminent ju-
rst of Georgia. seems to afford more explicit
answer than anything which has come under our
observation and we offer it for the consideration Of
our subscribers. The following persons are en-
braccd in the class excluded by the Constitutional
Amendment from holding Office, and from the
ballot box by the late bill
lst All persons who, before the war, were mem
bors Of Congress- or officers of the United States,
and afterwards engaged in the rebellion
2d All persons who, prior 10 the war; were ex-
ecutive, legislative or judicial officers of the State,
and took the like oath, and engaged in the rebel
lion.
This embraces Governors, members of the Leg
islature, and judicial officers, from judge of the
Supreme Court down to justice of the peace,
who, at any time, held the Office and took the
oath and afterwards engaged in the rebellion.
The wsitcr then gives five additional paragraphs
as to who are not excluded:
1st. No one is excluded because nc held an office
under the Confederate States from President down,
if he does not fall within Que of the excluded cas-
ses above specified. The simple tuct that he was
Confederate Senator or Confederate General, or
that he took an oath to support the Constitution Of
the Confederate States, docs not exclude him.
Cd. No State or county officer is excluded on ac-
count of his having held the office and taken the
oath and engaged in the rebellion, if he were not

Tuv youNc MEN OF THE SOUTH.

The Richmond Dispatch has been looking around
to ascertain who will be eligible to Office under the
changed condition of affairs, and is quite cheered
TO find so many capable persons still left to take
charge of public matters. The disfranchisement
of former leaders and representative men imposes
the duties upon those not disqualified, and cOnse-
tuently the young men of the present generation
must take upon themselves the burthen OF ofhce.-
Apart from representation in Congress, where the
iron clad oath is prerequisite to admission now
and hereafter, the young men of energy and ability
will be required to manage the affairs of State and
municipal government. The sooner, therefore,
this fact is realized, the better for oil concerned
When the proper time arrives for seiectl0n' Tue

CHARLESTON, FEB. 81, 1867.
THE undersigned having been appointed Commis-
sioner, has been instructed by his Excellcncy,
Governor ORn, to organize the Bureau ut the ear-
est possible moment. In few days agents will be
appointed by the Governor to proceed TO Europe,
whose duty it will be to induce immigration to our
State, to disscminaE such information as may be
furnished them of lands for sale or lease, and to
engage such laborers, mechanics, servants and 9TH
or help as may be desired by the inhabitants Of
the State An agent for the same object will, per-
haps, be sent to New York. 1t would be desirable
that our people furnish this Bureau, without delay,
with information how they desire to be served, in
dicating the kind of help they require and the
wages which they are willing to pay, or descrip-
ton of the lands they have for sale or lease, and
their terms and conditions If combinations Gun
be- formed in the several districts If the State for
joint action, it would, perhaps, facilitate mutual
operations, and where arrangements cat be made
to advance part of the passage money OF the To-
boring immigrants by accepted orders to that effect
on any of the factors or merchants Of Charleston,
it would NO doubt greatly advance the result. If
the pcoplc that favor this measure would meet
at their respective Court Houses to Consult, and
indicate their warts this Bureau would take great
pleasnre in serving their interest to the Bet Of its
ability. A pamphlet will be printed in several
European languages for Distribution describing
the capacities and advantages of our soil, climate,
productions, Sc, in which many particulars, that
arc promptly furnished, may be advertised The
rncahs ut the disposal of this Bureau being strict
ly limited the kind assistance of the conductors of
our public journals is respectfully requested.

The above was picked up on the street
few evenings since by one of our citizens.
We were inclined to regard it as sell +"
at first, but the arrival of arms at other en-
campments is noticed by several of our ex-
changes, and we have now no doubt in the
matter. We charged from the first that the
G. A. r. organization was reasonable and
revolutionary, and its cloak of charity but
a screen to hide its true objects and entrap
the unthinking; but we did not think the
mask would be so soon removed and its
true character revealed. Is it not pretty
state of affairs when ''charity has to be
dispensed through the barrels of approved
breech-loading rifles? How much longer
will it be before Democratic meetings will
be interrupted, Democratic printing offices
mobbed and Democrats shot by armed
members of this s. charitable " institution?
Democrats, stand by your cOlors! He
who would now desert his party because
threatened by these armed tools Of a Radi-
cal Congress, deserves no rights, social or
we can defeat this threatened danger and
secure our constitutional rights for all tim
to come. Organize-boldly, openly, fear
lessly. If argument fails, if reason finds no
listeners, if nothing but blood will satisfy
the fanatics in Congress and their MOLE
eyed followers, let us make it dear blood
for them. Let them see that there is a
limit to usurpation and tyranny, and that
approved breech-loading rifles will not de-
ter the Democracy from proclaiming their
principles at all times and under all cir
