REMOVAL OF PoL1TIcAn Disabilities
Mr.. Robertson, in the Senate, on the
9th inst, gave the following notice:
The Senator from Maine has kindly
consented to yield moment to allow me
to give notice to the Senate, that to-
night, after the army bill is passed, I
shall call up Senate bill No. 969, for the
removal of political disabilities.

''Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you"
Now, sir, these political sinners have
asked, sought and knocked, through the
mediation of the committee of which I
have the honor of being the chairman,
and in the name of that committee ask
that the door be opened unto them, and
they be restored to all the rights and
privileges of citizens.

One of the most tyrannical of many
outrageous usurpations of arbitrary power
which Congress has been guilty of lately,
is their action in the case of Patrick
Woods. We venture to assert that the
next time Doolay's Pat goes on the war
path against scallawags, he will be care
full to find ont first whether the scound-
rel he desires to thrash is Congressman
or not. It is very important to know
these little things now, in view of the
late action taken by the House of Rep-
resentatives, though how people living
III the Southern States are to attain such
desirable knowledge is, we confess, more
than we know. Woods counsel asked
to be heard in defense of their client be-
fore the bar of the House on last Satur-
day, but were refused.

A FAMILY THAT DIE IN THEIR BooTs.-
In New Orleans, on the 18th ultimo, o
shooting affair took place between two
respectable young men, named e. j.
Byrd and P. V. Ducros, in which the
former was fatally wounded in the left
breast. The encounter occurred on
Commercial alley, near the st. Charles
Hotel, and was the result of feud be-
tween the parties, who are brothers-in-
law. Dncros is Secretary of the Knick-
erbockcr Insurance Company. He
surrendered himself to the police. The
New Orleans Times says of the Byrd
family:
Orrin Byrd, father of the young man,
after several bloody affairs, was killed in
the year 1856, by Matt. Edwards, u
young lawyer, who was pursued across
the street by Byrd, with q knife. His
dead body was laid out in the brokers
shop of Horace BeaD, corner of Common
and Camp streets. He was very hand
some and elegant gentleman, perfectly
fearless, but always fought to the death
His appearance was elegant to effemila-
cy, and when laid out in the brokers'
shop, was dressed in the extreme of
the fashion. After this, his brother, DR..

and took prussic acid and died.

family, was killed in the Verandah bar.
room by young man who charged him
with seducing his wife. He was stabbed
to the heart.
The Byrds were from Hamburg, South
Carolina-parents very respectable-they
were all we'll educated men, of very pleas

of the young man shot, few days after
his marriage fought duel with Richard

Railroad. Both parties were wounded,

Your kind letter should have been an

panion, Howard, failed and was rejected.
Since he went ava. have been lonely
indeed, and now these fellows appear to
be trying their utmost to run me of, and
I fear they will succeed if they continue
as they have begun. We went into camp
yesterday, and not n moment has passed

been cursing and abusing me. All night
they were around my tent, cursing aud
swearing at me so that did not sleep

Prussia VS.. .France-BIs,narck Va. Napo.

Prussia VS.. FranceeBIslnnrck vs.. Nnpo-
leon.
AS our readers have perceived from
the kilograms published in our columns,
France and Prussia stand in hostile atti-
tude. Gen. Prim offers the crown of
Spain to Prince Leopold, of Hohenzol-
lern-a member Of the royal family of
Prussia. He accepts it. France prompt
~ dissents; at once half draws her sword,
and Napoleon, speaking through his
Foreign Minister, the Duke do Gram
mont, says decisively that France would
never allow this arrangement to be car
ried out. Thus, Napoleon steps out
boldly and crosses sword with Bismarck.
How stand the parties now? We think
the advantages are with Napoleon. Prus-
sia, doubtless, remembers the glory of
SADowA, when she humbled the pride of
Austria, and took her place among the
frst-olass powers of Europe, throwing
even France in the shade. But she has
less confidence in herself and Bismarck
than she had four years ago, and time
has mellowed the splendor of Ter mill
tary achievements. On the other hand,
France stands strong and compact, and
the Emperor, strengthened by his i5e-
ralisn,, plants himself upon his majority
of nearly 100000 of votes on the re-
cent plebiscite, and relying upon his
grand army, boldly challenges the issue
with his rival beyond the Rhine. We
are inclined to think with the New York
World, that Napoleon has turned the
tables upon Prussia. Whether peace or
war shall be the result in this "unplea-
santness," Napoleon holds the winning
cards. Even if Prussia declines the
issue Of war, O diplomatic defeat, damag-
ing to her prestige, certainly awaits her.
We shall watch the result with interest.
To us, it seems apparent that the star of
Napoleon is in the ascendant. He is
cool, quick, sagacious, prompt. The
situation has not yet come of wh;ch he
is not the master. Prim and Bismarck
have been confronted by the ruler of
France. Fight they must or back down.
This is the state of the case. Says Ma
poleon, in language that suggests the
ring of battle: "France will never per-

Hostility 90 ImmigratIon-AFe Feature OF
Radical Policy, State and National.

Radical Policy, State and National.
In our own State, we have charged the
present administration and the present
dominant party with covert hostility to
Immigration. We believe this charge to
be wel-founded. Just 80 long as the
present state of things continues Just
30 long as party tactics and personal
self-seeking usurp the place of disinte-
rested regard for. the. public good-just
ao;long as the brazen presumption of the
,carpet-bag element shall seek, in con-
Junction with the credulity of the colored
man. to control our policy, just go long
will no official efforts be put forth to
quicken in this State the good work OF
introducing within our borders the
healthy accession Of capital and settlers,
either from the North or Europe. Nor
ia this spirit of hostility to immigration
confined TO. South Carolina. Tt seems
70 be q feature in the National Republi-
can party. Recently, Senator Drake, ,an
extreme radical. declared in the United
States Senate that the next civil war in
bhis country would probably arise from
the influence exerted by the foreign ele-
;ment in our midst. If this is the senti-
ment Of the radical party, it is well for
the issue to be met and to be met
promptly. Bpon this question. we shall
be found~in active sympathy with the
National Democracy-the great saving
party of the countryAthe friend of the
Immigrant the, friend. OF the working
man-the champion of popular rights
the staunoh uphoiler of constitutional
freedona-the great aovochre of local
self.government and of decentralization.
AS for this know-nothing spirit, which
seeks to close the gates of this country
to the immigrant from Europe, and
which would prescribe white men be-
cause OF the place of their birth, we
opposed it once and we shall oppose it
again. The National Democracy struck
itdown once, and if it rears its head, it
will again rsceive its quietus. AS for us
in the South, lis matter of life to en-
courage immigration, and no political
party should receive any sanction that
does in any way throw obstacles in the
way of this great work. It is immigra-
tion that has made the North and the
Northwest. It has made the wealth and
strength of the North. Had it not been
for free and full immigration from
Europe-had it not been for the Ger
man, the Irish, the Swede and other
nationalities-the North would have
fallen far short of its present strength.

The New York World, of July S, says

The New York World, of July S, says:
The air in Europe is full of war ru-
mors. There is great agitation and
activity in the French Foreign Office.
Among the many reports flying about
Paris and Madrid, are these: Alliances
have been concluded between France and
Austria Oh the one hand, and Spain and
Prus ,ia Oh the other. The French fleet
ut Brest is under immediate orders to
sail for the Mediterranean. Prussia has
applied to the Court of st. Petersburg
for advice. The report that Prim has
abandoned the Prince Of Hohenzollern,
is denied by competent authority. He
will wait for the action Of the Cortcs,
though he has telegraphed to Madrid that
France means war. An important state
ment is that the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs has received q note from
Berlin, the substance of which is that
Prussia will give its acceptance of the
Spanish offer only after the Cortes has
definitely made it, and then it will stick
to its position. This is cautious, digni-
fed, and plucky. Three-fourths of the
members of the Cortes are believed to
be favorable to the Prussian Prince. The
Council of Ministers at Madrid have
unanimously approved of the course of
General Prim. The Berlin press is
silent, the Madrid press divided, and the
Paris press belligerent. La Liberte
clamors for war, and calls on the Govern
ment to get possession of the Rhenish
provinces, whatever may be the cost
In spite Of all these disquieting reports,
rentes were 6rmer yesterday. It looks
as if the fnanciers had no present ap-
prehension of war.
