TrnoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 3,1S69.-The ac-
ton of the Governor in regard to the issue OF
bonds for all funded bills of the Bank OF tho
State is matter ofmuch speculation. Some
time ago q ell.talc reporting correspondent OF
TEE NEWS informed it's readers, upon "the
very best authority" that no bonds for the
funded bills would be issued until the Cover
nor obtained possession Of tine assets OF the
Bank of the State. Since then, somebody,
whether interested or disintorestcd, dsponent
sayeth not, has seen the Governor, and it is
now reported again upon "the very best au-
thority" that the Governor will sign
and will issue tho bonds, assets or no
assets. The same reporter also informs
us that his Exccllency is not altogether clear
upon tho mandatory nature of the law, but
if it should be found that he has no discre-
tionary powers, there is then no alternative
but compliance, else he may render himself
liable to the charge OF opposition to the low
making power. If the Legislature has put its
foot into the bog aud made an unconstitu-
tional law, the Governor is not amenable.
So tlo case stands. It is minated that an
opinion has been asked Of the .Attorney-Gene-
raj, and that it is already in preparation.
Another matter OF speculation is the Charles
ton naondsnsus case Everybody and his wife
appear to profess to know what is going 10 be
the verdict of the judges, making it, of.course,
according to the inclination of the speaker.
Your readers may rest assured, however. that
no general opinion of the court as YET has been
written. Each of the Justices on Tuesday will
submit his separate opinion in writing, and o
majority OF the court give the decision.
The Legislature reassembles at twelve II.
Tuesday, aud will, it is believed, remain in ses-
sion till the latter part Of February or first of
March, when 10 doubt there will be general
clearing out for Washington to witness the in
auguration ceremonies of the new President.
Among others in town is our old friend and
venerable fellow-citizen, Colonel Jeremiah D.
Yates, whose long gray locks and flowing beard
give him very pa!rarchal appearance. The
Colonel was member of our State Legislature
in notification times, and has ell the fire OF
the old Roman in him still. On his arrival
here be was enthusiastically greeted by his
numerous friends and relatives, and bornc on
the shoulders OF some Of the former from the
carriage to tho hotel. he is on his way to
Charleston, and brings the glad news OF quite
number Of old Charlestonians having deter
mined to return and spend their last days at
their old home.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF PEACE DETAILS OF THE
CONFERENCE BETWEEN CLARENDON AND BUR-
LINGANE.
LONDON, January 5.-A writer in the London
Times says that the year ends with more
precarious peace than the world ever saw.
Noticing the growth of democracy in France,
he says that the Emperor must check the
masses, or abandon personal government.
At the late conference between Lord Clarsn-
don and MIR. Burlingame, at which the agree
ment was made, which has been already tele-
graphed, Lord Clarendon, in reviewing his
former conversations, fully acknowledged the
propriety and justice of the several points
which Mr.. Burlingame had advanced in refer
ence to the policy which he deemed desirable
that England should pursue.
Mr.. Burlingame held that the objects OF the
present mission showed evident siGns OF pro-
gress, and by no means evinced retrograde
disposition on the part Of the Chinese Govern
ment. Ho also deprecated the practice Of
Western Powers in using an unfriendly pres
sure to introduce new systems and new ideas
among q people whose knowledge Of foreign
nations was of recent origin, and who were
rurtured under traditional system to which
they were accustomed, and attacked because
such repressive policy would tend to revolu-
tion and reprcss progress, whereas the Chnese
Government fully admitted the necessity OF
progress and desired to encourage it gradually
without sudden shock to the feelings, pas
sions or prejudices of the people.
Lord Clarendon, in his reply, fully Omitted
that the Chinese were entitled to forbe2rance
. from foreign nations, and assured MIR. Burlin-
game that England did not desire or intend to
apply any unfriendly pressure in order to In
duce China to advance more rapidly in her in
tercourse with foreign nations than was con-
sistent with the safety and feelings OF the
Chinese people.

The Patric of to-day, in the course OF an cdi-
torial on the Chinese Embassy, says that China,
observing her international Obligations, comes
to treat with great commercial nations, and
expresses belief that in negotiations OF treaties
with her, those powers will find that additional
markets for the commerce of the world will be
developed in new regions, which will be open
cd to civilization. The Patrie consequently
hopes that Durlingame's mission will prove
successful.

cutions against the open friends Of this plan.
