Saturday published the following
choice bit of news
"The Catskill bridge, over Catskill
creek fell at Poughkeepsie, on Tuesday
last, killing German.
We had supposed that Catskill creek
was about 35 miles above Poughkeep-
sic, and situated on the other side of
the Hudson. But perhaps the bridge
was moved down.

BUTLER was the only member
from Tennessee who voted for the
repeal of the tenure-of- Office law.
Messrs. Arnell, Maynard, Mullins,
Stokes and Trimble voted against
the repeal. They seem to lack con-
fidence in Gen. Grant, notwith-
standing the friends of one of them
(Maynard) were urging his appoint
ment to a place in Grants Cabinet.
The Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives held a
special meeting. Saturday for the
purpose of considering the bill in
troduced the first day of the ses-
sion, we believe, by Gen. Butler to
repeal the civil tenure act. 1t is
reported now that the chairman,
Mr.. Wilson, and other Republican
members of the committee, always
regarded the measure rs merely
temporary, to restrain the present
incumbent of the White House
from removing Radicals from Of
fee during the recess of the Con
gress. Therefore, the measure
having accomplished all its authors
desired, the committee instructed
their chairman to report in favor
Of its repeal.

sOUTH CAROLINA

The Charleston Ne,rS points, with
Just pride, to the peaceful condition
of South Carolina. Says that pa
per: South Carolina, the so called
cradle of the rebellion, is, on this
New Years Day, 1869, the most
peaceful and serene of all the
Southern States. We have a col
ored population Of 100000, and a
white population of 275, 600 Or less /;
but order and quiet reign within
our borders, and no such thing as
widespread riot or tumult has been
known in this State. 1t is not that
We have been free from the exciting
causes of trouble and disaffectiOn.
Political firebrands and itinerant
thieves have been as plenteOus as
in any other part Of the South but
white men and colored men labor
soberly side by side, and the BUSH
ness of the whele State is in 4
healthy and thriving condition. "
One Of the main reasons for this
peaceful condition of affairs in South
Carolina, is the fact that the Gov
o,.yo,. n E +bo4 Cto4o ol+bouorb a COR
pet-bagger, is not pulled up with the
idea that every white man in the
State who does not think as he does,
ought not TO be trusted. He has
learned to encourage every man in
his efforts to make a good and law
abiding citizen, and the result is as
stated by the Ncws. Our Tennes
see Radicals might learn valuable
lesson from, his avauor 1la

GRANTS ideas IN THE BUD,

Some of General Grants "ideas
in the bud" are thus explained by
the Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat:
81 told you in my last that Grant, hav-
ing been the hero of the war, now wants
to be the hero of the cost of it, and pro-
poses to labor at paying it off by increas-
ing the revenue and discOuraging ex-
travagance, and he yet wishes to see the
State develop. His theory is that the
Government can secure the monopoly Of
certain kinds of carriage and commerce,
so that while the cost Of the same to the
people may be cheapened, the Governs
ment, without risk, may increase It's
revenue And among the objects which
the General is presumed to be making
reconnoiSSances of just now, are express
companies and telegraph companies. His
attention has been called to the feasibility
with which the postofice can deliverpack-
ages and parcels and to the excellence Of
electricity as a pOst-rider. AS to the
mere political manipulation of the cOun.
try, by Cutting off the heads Of Office
holders, the General seems indisposed to
carry the White House by way of the
slaughter pen. He thinks that Andrew
Johnson was a sinner in introducing the
principle of rotation in office, and thus at
a lick "goes back upon the tcnets Of
both Andrews and Of Ben Wade And
has it come to this That Perkins, the
coai-heavcr, can keep his place in the
capitol coal pit and freedom still sur
yive Can Ruckhorn, the newer Of wood
in the navy yard, be retained at three
dollars day, and the republic live ~
Grantsidea about increasing the
revenue" by the government taking
charge of all the express and telc-
graph lines in the country, is just
such a crotchet as might be OK
pected from man ofhis experience
in public affairs, Perhaps he will
make this feature of his admins
tration.

construed to delegate tho power to Con-
gress to appropriate money for any in
ternal Improvement intended to facili-
tate commerce"
Exception is made in regard TO
eight hours, and the removal of OBJ
structions; but such q provision
would arrest the immense grants OF
land and money which are being
made to private corporations go
Subsection third of Art. 2, says;
aThe principal officer of each of the
executive departments and all persons
connected with the diplomatic service
NAV be removed from Office at the pleas
ure of the President All other civil Of
ficers of the executive department may
be removed at any time by the President,
or other appointing power, when their
services are unnecessary, or for dishon.
esty, incapacity, ineficiency, misconduct
or neglect of duty, and when so removed,
shall be reported to the Senate, together
with the reasons therefor"
Such clause would permanently
establish the authority oftherespon-
sible Executive head over his sub
ordinates of whatever degree, and
would doubtless produce a more
efficient and upright discharge Of
public trusts. 1t would put an END
| to the corrupt interference of inter
ested Congressman in the admins
tration of the laws, and bar The
door to tenure of-ofice laws, ant

IT appears that the nomination
Of Mr.. John Scott by a caucus
of the Republican members of
the Pennsylvania Legislature for
United States Senator from that
State, created something of a stir in
Radical circles in Washington. 1t
brought the politicians TO the con-
clusion that Senator Cameron's re-
puted sway over the Radical party
in that State is something more
than mythical Scott is known to
be an out-and-out Cameron man,
and is indebted to Cameron for his
nomination. The anti-Cameron
men are fearfully demoralized, espe-
cially Forney, who says that this is
only a fresh instance of Cameron's
purchasing the Legislature. 1t is
somewhat remarkable that it is q
Radical Legislature he always
purchases. ..s- -H.ts

SHALL 1T BE TEN, OF FIVE.
The Senate yesterday committed
an error in amending the bill ex-
empting capital employed in manu-
features from taxation. The period
of ten years of exemption as pro-
vided in the original bill, is short
enough. 1t will require manufac-
turing establishments, under the
present and probable future condi-
ton Of affairs, for several years to
come, fully that length Of time to
get into successful operation. This,
indeed, is the history of large manu-
factories under the most favorable
circumstances. The object of tho
measure is to offer inducements to
foreign capital to be invested in
this State and to encourage and
promote the growth of factories
during the period when they most
need favoring Legislation. ! To re-
strict the benefit to a time made
quate, by all experience, for the
latter purpose, is virtually to with
hold the inducement. If it be pro,
per at the present time, as it GER.
tainly is, to remit taxation for this
purpose, and to favor a system o.
home manufactures, let the mea'
sure be ample in every respect.
We trust the Senate will recon.
| slider its action in this matter, ant
reinstate the period of ten years
In anticipation of such an induce
ment, as we are informed, capital il
preparing to come to the State, ant
it would be public misfortune i
it should be diverted. The in
creased stimulus to business, o
half-a-dozen large factories, would
more than replace the taxes o
twenty years on the amount o
capital needed.
