Of the registered voters, ranging from

TIE SOUTH CAROLINA LAND
ScnEME.-Thc New York Tribune
says editorially:
We know nothing as to the details
of the measure adopted by the South
Carolina Legislature for giving five
years credit to actual settlers on her
unoccupied lands, but tho principle
seems to US eminently wise, and
worthy Of imitation by other South
crn States. Every indication of q
tendency to encourage at the South
the immigration of actual laborers
who mean to earn homesteads by
their own toll is another token of tho
better day dawning for that unfor-
tuna}e section. Hitherto they have
been too much disposed to discourage
comers who brought no capital, save
strong muscles, and an honest deter.
mination to win land and homes by
work. If they have now found out
that these arc the men they want,
rather than cotton SPECTATORS, politi.
clans, or even capitalists, then they
are in fair way to get them..

TIE NEW SPANISH CONSTITUTION.
"A draft of the new Spanish consti-
tuition has been published in the form
that it has been agreed upon by the
committee. It is undoubtedly great
progress. over the constitution under
Isabella; it is, in somo respects, more
liberal than the French and Italian
constitutions, and it's provision for the
establishment of universal suffrage is
as liberal as may be found in any Of
the European constitutions. With re-
gard to the articles concerning reli-
gious freedom, article twenty obliges
the nation to maintain the worship
and the ministers Of the Catholicreli-
gion. By tho following article. resi-
dent foreigners receive the: right of
exercising any other worship, and ar

Row. IN THE RADICAL CAMp.--A
correspondent Of the Charleston Ncws
thus writes from Columbia:
There has been big fuss in the
Radical camp, and from all [ can
gather, it is only the beginning Of a
bigger row.
1t appears that Governor Scott
promised the Office Of Land Commits
sioner to Joseph Crews, one of the
white members Of the State House of
Representatives, and then gave the
Office to C. p. Leslie, the Senator from
BarnwelI. This, Of course, riled
Crews terribly, and he swears ven
geance against the whole party, VOW
ing that he will expose their schemes
and tricks since they have controlled
the government. q:
Last night Governor Scott sent for
Crews and promised to give him
something else if he would only keep
quiet. But Crews would not be ,noli.
fed; and cursed the whole establish,
ment right and left, saying that they
mad all we'll feathereo their nests, and
that allthe spoils were given to North
ern men. He said he would show
them that it was too lato:tot talk o1
buying him.. It promises to be d very
pretty quarrel. ''''' ~ s''-,' 'H''1.'
By the way, it has leaked OUT thai
