1t will be seen by reference to an
other column, that Gov. Sharkey, as
sisted by Hon. R. j. Walker, has made
application to the Supreme Court for
leave to file a petition for an injunction
to restrain President johnson and
Gen. Ord from executing the Military
bill within the limits of the State of
Mississippi, The application will be
considered on Friday next.
A despatch further states that the
law officer of the Administration, Mr.
Stanburry, appeared for the Govern
ment, and besides objecting to the ju-
risdiction of the Court, gave notice
that he ''would contest every step of
the proceedings, d.
We will know very soon whether
the Court will consider the case,twhich
is the first point to be determined.

WASHINGTON, January 2S.-Among the
number of petitions presented in the Sem

cation.
The judicial bill goes back to the House
with amendments. It prescribes the ma.

In the House, Trimble, of Kentucky, in
troduced bill repeating the cotton and su-

Committee.
A bill to amend the District franchise, ex
tending it regardless Of sex, was introduced;
referred to the District Committee.
An unsuccessful effort was made to refer
the impeachment to a committee Of seven,
on the ground that the Judiciary Commit
tee lacked time. The Chairman said the
Committee had time and in answer to
what the Committee was doing, lie said it
would be known at the proper time. No
one outside of the Committee knew, he
said, and he branded all the reports sent
North as false.
Stevens bill was taken up. Julian op-
posed the bill, as he favored keeping the
Southern States from representation indeh-
nitely. Stevens modified his bill materially,
and appealed to Bingham to withdraw his
motion to refer, so the bill might be COM
pleted. Bingham declined. The bill was
referred to the Reconstruction Committee
by vote of SO to IS.

Hemento NYeri.

Many members of this community were
SensibIy affected last Thursday morning,
when the sad announcement was made that
Mrs Emile Gouin, the beloved wife of DR..
T. F. Gouin, had departed this transitory
life. Mrs. G. was lady of most agreeable
and engaging manners; kind, gentle, gene>
rous and considerate. Her life was an i'm
puIsion Of kind words and gentle deeds!
Her love for her household was as true,
steadfast and devoted as time in its course !!
And while she was entirely unobtrusive. her
heart and soul went out in sympathy for all
animate life, and afectionate ministries at
tended her where'er she went. Although a
comparative stranger in strange land, and
far away from the beautiful home Of her
nativity, her genial, happy nature kept the
pure fame Of charity alive.
We shall miss her kind salutstionS, for
with her it was always morning; bright,
beautiful, serene.
The casket is open, the jewel is lost the
vase is broken, the flowers arc withered, yet
the ashen leaves that remain will yield q
fragrance that shall never die!
ssThere came rush of memory DER me,
And-I wept-I wept.'
For cloud obscures the brightness Of our
horizon, and sepulchral winds breathe PEN
sive requiems over departed hopes and joys
that are dashed-yet not forever, for albeit
the frosts of winter may overlie the lovely
flowers of earth and crush then IN their icy
folds. tits but for season; the balmy
breath Of spring again restores the latent
germ to ''life and light and beauty"
And this new birth of the dowers-thiS
type Of new life-admonisheS Us with the
hottest inspirations, that there is another
life and more glorious reunion, beyond
the pearly portals Of the Celestial city.

We would call attent ton
to the opinion of one of the leading papers
of Canada on this subject:
Most of our readers have no doubt read
some of the numerous advertisements Of
Gift Enterprises, Gift Concerts, &c, which
appear from time to time in the public
prints, offering most tempting bargains 10
those who will patronize them. In most cases
these are genuine humbugs. But there are
q few respectable firms who do business in
this manner, and they do it as a means Of
increasing their wholesale business, and not
to make money. From such firms, it is true,
handsome and valuable articles are procured
for very small sum, and what is more im>
portant, DO one is ever cheated. Every per
son gets good value for his dollar; because
as we have stated, it is intended to act as an
advertisement 10 increase their ordinary
business. We have seen numbers of prizes
sent out in this way by Sherman, Watson &
Company, Of Nassau Street, n. Y, and
there is no doubt that some Of the articles
are worth eight or ten times the money paid
for them, while we have not seen or heard
of q single article which was not worth the
dollar which it cost. But this is only one of
the exceptions OF this rule, for as general
thing the parties engaged in this business
are nothing but clever swindlers.

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

1t will be interesting to our readers to
learn that there is probability that that
portion of the Read, in Tennessee, will
be placed under contract in a short time.
When the charter was obtained, the
State of Tennessee subscribed $4,000
per mile, with 100000 for the bridge at
Knoxvil!e ;amounttiiH?:gG, in the aggregate,
10 $6oo,o0U. During the last session "f
Legislature Of Tennessee, 100000 was
given By the State, in addition 70 her
former subscription. Besides, Bfount
county also made liberal subscription,
which is now available.
The authority is good for saying that
operations will he commenced at Knox
Vile, at an early day, for the completion
of the road in Tennessee-a distance Of
fifty miles. And that it is confidently
believed that the means will be obtained,
ere long, to complete the whole road

sreNIrlcANT.-.An evening paper in
Washington says:
If necessary, its strong and iron hands
will be invoked to stay the course and
preveLt the consummation of: radical
treason. The great oath of the Presi-
dent to protect and defend the Constitu.
ton will not be forgotten, and the peo-
pie who sustain him with their Ave hun
dred thousand majority of the voting
population, North and South, will not
forget him. Events have already brought
the Government to the very verge of an
other revolution. If the Radical majori-
ty in Congress RWsues its course much
longer the GoyeHIRAent, in order to sus-
tain itself, will have to arm its support
ers, North and South, and the army and
Navy will respond: In such a contest
the issue cannot be doubtful. Congress
men may be valiant fighters on the floor
of Congress, but When they come to lead
their cohorts into the field it will be an
other thing. The, real army and great
soldiers of the Republic will be found
fighting Under the flag we adore. Not
withstanding the opposition Of the Radi-
Gals, it is determined fact that Andr"w
johnson will serve out his constitutional
term of Office. 49,:

Tha RssSnnE Why.

The following are the reasons given by
the Arkansas Legislature fov rejecting
the Constitutional amendment:
1st. Arkansas does not know that the
amendment was adop ted by such Con-
gress as the Constituti on provides for,
one third of the States being unrepresen-
ted in it. I'd. 1t was never submitted
to the Preside Mt for sanction as the. Con.
stitution requires. Sd. The enormous
power it seeks to give Congress would
virtually abolish all local. and domestic
State laws. 4th. Itseeks to force negro
suffrage on the States, as shown in the
second section, while the fifth and third
sections disfranchise the wisest and best
citizens of the State, who, having perfor-
med all the conditions Of surrender and
general amnesty, are entitled restoration
to the status they held before the var,
and there is no reasons for believing its
adoption would secure restoration. The
committee recommend a quiet and digni-
fed course Of endurance, rather than
purchase restoration 1t q sacrifice Of the
principle of selfrespect.

Az OMINous SIGN,-Thc Richmond
Times has the following notice ofa very
omiuous sign of dcgencracy in this
conntrys
That political and social demoraliza,
lion 90 hand-in-hand, We have a .,atnrul
illustration at present in maay of the
large Northern cities. TIE decent, con-
Servative press teens with structures
upon the once extraordinary, but. now
common, spectacle ofdrunkenneSs among
the fashionable women of the people of
''grand moral ideas" That such sights
we're common in Sodom and Comorrah
before fate of birthstone and fire fell
upon those places, We have every reason
to believe. Weknow, from the reiterated
assertions Of history, that all the corrupt
and wicked nations of antiquity COM
menced rotting and going to pieces in
this way. When woman takes to liquor,
the house or community in which such
practices prevail may be safely consider
ed to be in q very desperate way. There
ia no sign of the decadence of popular
virtue and morality so alarming as this.
The mission OF woman in America has
heretofore been q high and lofty one.
She has been the custodian of those vir-
tues aad proprieties which have not been
HaFe in the keeping ofthe stcrner sex. 1t
10 q most gloomy and ominous symptom
Of social and moral disintegration, when
We see females, moving in circles deemed
respectable, fall victims to vices and de-
baucher;es which have hitherto been
assigned almost exclusively to the male
sex. All moral and religions barriers
must be broken down in q community
where women, with features of loveliness,
and draped with all the adornments Of
the latest fashions, staggcr from their
carriages and reel through the throngs
Of Broadway, in the blaze ofmid-day and
the glare of gas-light. Rome saw such
appalling sights when plunging to her
doom, all reek,ng with corruption and
wickedncSs. But has the North, in the
pride and zenith ofitS boasted power and
virtue, come to this If so, let her mourn
in all her borders.

VALUE OF TIE Pound STERLING IN
CURRENCY. is difficult to explain the
seeming mysteries of foreign exchange to
one who is wholly uninitiated. = ster-
ling bill is a draft payable in English
pounds, shilling and pence, called 'tster-
ling money" A sixty days bill is pay
able with grace) sixty days from sight {;
bills were formerly payable on presenta,
ton but the custom of granting three
days grace after sight came into general
use in England, and thus short sight"
is used to designate those bills legally
payable three days after presentation.
The rate Q093) for sixty days bills,
describes the price at which the drawer
undertakes to pay a pound sterling to
the holder in London sixty-three days
after presentation there for acceptance
It is not 1904 on the actual value of the
pound in the Federal money, but
on \ certain conventional rate-namely
$4.44.4. Thus $4.44444x1094 equal to
$4S6.6 (ornitting fractions.) The latter
is the value to be paid in gold here for
each pound sterling Of the bill ofexchange.
Now $486.6x136S equal to $6.64s
which is the value in paper currency of
the pound at the rates given. The rule
therefore is obvious Multiply four dol
lars, forty-four and fourteenth cents by
the quoted rate of exchange; that will
give the cost here of one pound of
exchange in gold. Then multiply this
product ~ the quotation Of gold: that
will produce the cost Of the pound in
paper money. This is a very simple
process, and one which, it is probable,
every reader will be able to understand.

'DRowNED.-We regret to learn that
man by the name Walker, said to be a
son of that we'll known and much esteem
ed citizen, John Walker, Esq, of Cross
Anchor, Spartanburg District. was drown
ed, in attempting to cross Reedy River,
at Fishdam Ford, near Joe's Bridge, in
this District, on Monday last. From ac-
counts the young man was unacquainted
with the Ford, and entered the River
too high, and thus rode his horse off the
bank into twelve feet water. Being ta-
ken unawares, he must have lost his
balance, and fell off the horse and was
drowned. The horse made his escape.

NsnsrS. Kaarn & Eix.

During our recent visit to Columbia,
we learned that these very popular artists
contemplate removing from that city.
This information will be received with
regret by their many friends, and We
may venture to say by the whole up
country, for they have gained wide
spread celebrity for their beautiful and
liEe-like pictures which is not confined to
their own narrow limits. A visit to their
gallery is treat we'll worth going for,
and reveals the fact that it is scarcely
possible to conceive Of the art being car
ried to any greater perfection. Wearn
is certainly master in his branch of
business, and Hix stands preeminent in
his particular line, and should they in
deed seek a wider and more lucrative
field, we see no reason why they will not
realize the benefits Of their genius and
ability. Wherever they may 90 we
wish them unbounded success, but trust
they will think we'll on it ere doing So.
We were particularly struck with their
exquisite Miniature Portraits on Porce-
lain, which are equal in beauty and fin
ish to Ivory Portraits, nor are their
colored Photographs the least feature Of
attraction. We believe that it is their
intention to visit our town ere long, and
before leaving the State, when an oppor-
tunity will be afforded our citizens Of
sitting for their pictures.

The following well-timed remarks were

The following well-timed remarks were
extracted from the Grcenville Enterprise;
It 80 happens that most of the news
papers of South Carolina, with many
excellcncies, are yet in all that relates to
State improvement, mere fossils Of the
past. They are fully alive to the discus
sion of the Radicals, and leave untouched
and unq1estioned the most practically
oppressive and ruinous laws of their own
State, and leave unrebuked the laws which
oppresS and beggar them, their wives
and children, and drive them from the
State, or keep them here to be arrested
and imprisoned for debts, or to give bail,
cndangering their friends and cramping
themselves for twenty years time to
come. Not paper in Charleston even
utters \ sentiment adverse to imprison-
rnent for debt; yet they wish TO see
their city prosper, so do we all. Let
them learn 9 lesson from New York {;
they know something of what conduces
to commercial prosperity, and of what
makes q people and cities prosperous in
money matters, in population, and Of
what makes great city ), and yet with
sll the natural advantages ofNew York,
years ago, she added this additional ad.
vantace. Her customers cannot be ar
rested for debt when they visit her, and
they 60 there. In Charleston, her Gus
toners owing debt there, or anywhere,
may be arrested on it when they go
there, and they don't 90.
We feel justified, therefore, in expect
ing some support from the Charleston
business men, who may sympathise with
our views of State policy. Certain we
are, Charleston would gain by anything
calculated to encourage customers, old
and new, to visit her without the fear of
being put in Jail for old debts, or new
debts. There are many other things in
which we think we can claim sympathy
from CharlestonianS. We purpose di,
recting some attention to the abuses Of
our railroads which contributes so much
to her injury they can be remedied. 1t
is time that we discuss the things that
make for our relief and prosperity. The
Radicals, bad as they may be represented,
are aot our only enemies,
