In. the proceedings of Congress, on
the 7th, the passage of the bill to re-
move political disabilities from sundry
citizens of the Southern States, therein
named, was urged by Messrs. Robertson
and McC Creery.
Mr.. Sumner inquired if this bill had
been referred to the proper committee.
Mr. Robertson stated that the bill
itself had not been referred, but the
names had all been considered by the
Committee on Disabilities.
Mr.. Conkling was not one Of those
anxious for the removal of political disa-
bilities. This was the only punishment
on men who had originated the most
guilty rebellion the world ever saw.
After some further discussion the bill
was passed.

"a GRoss IND1aN1TY TO South Caro-
I.lNA SENATOR'S. Under this heading
the radical paper in Richmond, Va,
says; '''.A gross outrage was perpetrated
onfthe 9th inst. at Glover Hill Station,
on the Danville Railroad, by the au-
thorities Of that road, by eiecting from
the cars three colored State Senators
from South Carolina, and treating them
TO indignities. United States Senators
Sawyer and Robertson and several mem
bers of Congress from South Carolina,
on their way to Congress, were accompa-
MED by three State Senators of the same
States highly respectable colored men,
all bright mulattoes. These latter pur-
chased first GLASS tickets at Columbia,
and rode IN q fret class car through the
reconstructed States of South and North
Carolina, without molestation; but when
they reached the Virginia line their
troubles began. At Danville they were
ordered out Of the first class car, but re-
fused to leave it. There was q good deal
made to eject them. On reaching Glover
Hill station, however, two of them hap
pened to get out to obtain refreshments,
and when they would have entered again
were refused admittance, and forced
to take their places in a common car.
The third, Senator Wright, was then
ordered out, but persisted in retaining
his seat. AT Glover Station, however,
byorder of President Buford, our in
formant says, he was forcibly and
roughly elected, amid great confusion
and excitement, and much to the indig-
nation of the South Carolina Senators
and members. It is said there was q
lively time on board the train

TROUBLE IN EDaEFIELD.-At late
hour, last evening. we received intelli-
gence of bloody affray at Edgeteld
Court House, South Carolina, which, if
true, reveals most terrible state of Of
fairs existing in that place. A private
party who arrived here yesterday from
the Court House, brought information of
the affair. He states, that on last Wednes-
day, John Robinson's circus company
arrived in the village, for the purpose of
giving two exhibitions, and that an i'm
mense crowd of white men and negroes
had come in from the surrounding coun-
try to witness the performances. On
Wednesday night, the canvas was crowd
ed, as were also the tents in which were
the jugglers, and the "great natural Gu
riosities, which usually accompany these
caravans, and are denominated "side-
shows" It was in one of the side-shows
that the row is said to have originated,
though in what manner we we're unable
to learn. AT all events, pistols we're
drawn by both sides and freely used.
Before the difficulty could be stopped,
the scalawag Clerk of the Superior Court
was shot and instantly killed, and an
other white man, unknown, was 80 fear.
fully beaten in the head with the but of
II revolver, by some one of his adverse
ries, that his wounds proved mortal, and
he died during the night.
AS il to put the finishing touch to this
carnival of blood, our same informant
states, that on that night. the negro mi
litia, who have been on duty at Edgetield
Court House for some time past, arrested
a white citizen OF the County, on o
charge of being rebel bush whacker,
and in revenge. they said, for the MUIR
der of negroes by the whites, gave him
speedy trial and executed him by hang
ing ti1i ~ d Tree In the village.

OUR RELIGIOUS COLUMN
Singing Ministers.

An exchange wonders that more attention is
not paid to vocal music in the theological semi
naries, and thinks that a singing minister wieds
a power which all should seek to obtain, and
Which none can afford to lose;-
we have in our minds eye young minister,
recently settled in New England, who, in addi-
tion to his many other excellencies, is a good
smger-not by any extraordinary gift of nature,
but as the fruit of culture. He has simply
learned to sing, and can at any time lead
in this service One of the first things he
did, after his settlement was to appoint for
the church singing meeting, to be held
once week. This he proposes to make a
religious meeting with song for its chief
element He attends it himself, leads the sing
ing, instructs the people, gradually introduces
new tunes, and makes them familiar by practice,
and thus prepares his congregation to sing the
praises of God on the Sabbath. The experiment,
in his hands, works like a charm. His power
over the people, and his power to benefit them,
are immensely increased by this singing meet
ing. He is himself singing miaister-doing
what Others might do, if they had acquired his
power to do il ~
