FoRaiAL OPENING OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT
SPEECH OF The oUEEN-TnE WAR IN SOUTH
AMERIcA-END OF THE CONFLICT.
LONDON, February 1G.-The formal opening
Of the new Parliament, postponed last year i'll
consequence Of tho resignation OF tho Disraeli
ministry, took place this afternoon. the rltm-
bers OF tho House OF Commons We're summon
ed to attend at tho bar OF the Chamber
Of Peers to hear the royal speech. The
Queen was not present. but her Majcsty's
speech was delivered by royal commission,
and was read 10 the assembled Houses 3y the
Lord Chancellor. The speech is IL substance
a follows: "That tho relations Of Great Bri-
tain with all foreign. powers are at present on
an excellent footing. The hostlities which
threatened to break out in the East have been
prSkented by q conference Of the Great Powers
at Paris. The hopo is expressed that the neso
tiatons with the United States will place on
firm and durable basis the friendship whict
should exist between England and America
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-02-19

Tie disturbances in New Zealand arc to be re-
eretted but the Queen ls sure that prudence
and moderation on the part OF the government
will prevent recurrence OF such unhappy
events. The estimates which will be laid be-
fore the House of Commons By the ministers
arc framed on the basis OF economy, coupled
with efficiency in the administration CT the
service. The continued suppression OF the
oneration of the writ of habaas corpus in Ire
lanL is regarded as unnecessary. The ecciesi-
astical arrangements for Ireland are to be con-
sidered by Parliament, and the legislation for
their Gnal adjustment will mako large demands
upua the wisdom of both houses on this sub
iecl." The Qloen concludes as follows II am
persuaded thai careful regard will be had to
the Interests involved and to the welfare OF
religion, aud that through the application OF
va principles o; equal justice 10 the question
before them, Parliament will secure tho undi-
vided feeling OF the people of ireland on the
side OF loyalty and law, and efTacc the memory
of past contensions, and cherish the syl pa
tbies of an atfcctionate people,"
Accounts of the state Of affairs in Paraguay
have been received from both sides, aud arc,
as usual, contradictory. The Brazihans claim
that tho war is euded, as their forces now per-
manenfly occupy Asuncion. and the iuhabi-
tants who, on their approach, by order of Lo-
PEI, fed TO the interior, arc returning to their
homes. It is positively stated that President
Lopez has abandoned the couatry and gone to
Bolivia. On tho other hand, accounts from
Paraguayan sources represent that the army Of
Lopez, after the battles ut Yilleta and Ansos-
tura, retired in comparatively good order, aud
is still capable of making formidable resist
aacc. The Psraguayans base their hopes OF
preserving their independence and retrieving
their losses on violent dsseason which they
say have broken ou. among the generals of the
allied troops.

COLUMBIA, s. c., February 1.-THE excite
ment among the members Of the General As
sembly, induced by the veto message OF the
Governor, for the past day or two has boen in
tense There was a much larger attendl nee
in both houses than usual. Much biLter teel-
ing against the Governor has been expressed
OF what was regarded direct insult, by the
allusion maio in the message to the lobbying
influence brought to bear IN the passage of
the Greenyille and Columbia Railroad bill.
The friends of. the veto regarded this
as an unfortunate feature, tending to
unnecessary irritation and Of doubtful
p1opriety. II afforded q strong lever to
the opponents OF tho veto to work
upon the minds of many who were yet undo
cidedas to their course. This feeling, it is be-
lleved, was intensified by rumor that the
Governor had signed petition to Congress
recommending tho removal OF the political
disabilities of hon. j. P. Reed and Hon. W. D.
Simpson, the two Democratic members elect
to Congress. Hence when the vote was taken
this morning the result was overwhelming nj
favor of the passage OF the act. Before the
House met, however, such result was not
unlocked for, but hardly by su,h large ma
jor!ty.
The proceedings in the House were opened
By the reading o. the following message from

and al be was not noticeably SO
himself, they were deeply concerned
for his spiritual welfare, and essayed
b bring him within the pale Of
the church, but their efforts were
vain and be remained as stubborn
and intractable ss ever. Finally
protracted meeting occurred and
quite religious awakening took
place in the neighborhood, led by a
preacher from a distance who was
full Of religious fervor, and who had
introduced a new revival song with
happy effect, the chorus to which
was
80 brother seek home
In that new bright land y
Our friend had been described TO
the new preacher by his relations,
who. to mark his identity. had not
neglected to mention his velvet coat
collar. So one evening after the
sermon the minister descended from
the pulpit, and in one Of his happi-
est moods was passing from one to
another il the congregation, shaking
hands and singing with greatunction
20 brothers seek home
IN that new bright land.
Changing the words TO " sister seek a
home.n etc, US he shook the hands
of the ladies', until be came to our
unconvertsd Idahoan. Here he
paused, as if he suspected he had
found his man, aud began an inspec-
ton feeling first of his arms and
shoulders, until his hand rested on
the velvet collar, when, as if rcas-
sured, he gave him a sharp slap on
the back, took his hand, and with
more than usual pathos in his man
ner sang at the top of his voice,
