KENsLER,s FERRY.

DIR. EDITOR: By Fridays PHOENIX, I perceive
that a bill has been introduced into the LeRis-
iature to repeal the Act extending the charter
OF ktusler's Ferry. Without believing that the
Legislature would stultify itself by going back
upon it's own work, and doing an act Of the
most hagrant injustice to those gentlemen,
the Messrs. kinsler,) will, Mr.. Editor, with
your permission, bring to the attention of the
General Assembly few facts, to illustrate the
wisdom OF their previous course in extending
the charter of this Ferry, and the iniquity OF
repeating that Act at this time. At the time
that the Messrs. kinsler applied for charter,
NSGo,) MIR. Guignard was running an uncher-
tered ferry, charging arbitrary and cxorbitant
rates OF toli and with bat one ferry boat, was
utterly unable to furnish expeditions trans
p%orsatiGn t%at to the travelling public. Under
these circumstances, the Legislature, in 1865,
granted the original charter for Kiuser's
Ferry. The rates of toll were reduced to about
ohe-Mod OF what was usually charged by Mr.
G,nighard. ct heavy outlay of money, the
LOFTY embankmCnts we're cut down, a large
and commodious ferrv-boat, with n substan-
tial rope, was launched, and III a short time
three-iourths of all the patronage went to the
new Terry. In 1868, Immediately after the as
sembiing of the Legislature in Janncy's Hall.
these gentlemen. desiring to add materially
TO the superior facilities of their Ferry, ap-
pied to the General Assembly for an exten-
SION OF their charter. Upon receiving this
additional grant, they at once incurred
heavy expenditure in the construction OF a
terry-boat, with peculiar con.
srivance, by which they are enabled to cross
the river when very much swollen; and when,
without It, 1t would not only be hazardous to
attempt crossing, but absolutely impossible
to do CO.. Three-fourths of all the lumber aud
nrc-wood brought into Columbia cross at this
ferry These are facts susceptible o. being
uem9nstrated beyond a. peradventure, and
should meet with calm cOns:drra tion nv thn

WASHINGTON, January 24-3 Z. NJ
The Reconstruction Committee met and
unanimously agreed to report the Senate
Virginia bill and press its passage to-day,
if possible. Bingham accepts it and the
Republicans, as far as heard, will vote
for it. In the House, several bills were
introduced under the regular call. A
contest arose over the reference of the
postal telegraph bill, and it was finally
referred to n special committee of seven
triumph for the friends of the bill.
P. Mn the Senate, Morrill, quail
flied rs Fessenden's successor A bill to
provide national currency of coin notes
and to equalize the distribution of cir
culating notes taken up, was discussed
to executive session.
In the House, among the bills iutro-
duced, were the following: Recommend
ing the possession of lands granted to
Arkansas for railroad from Mississippi,
Ella Little Rock, to the Texas boundary;
increasing the Judges Of the Supreme
Court and defining the jurisdiction of
United States Courts; conveying certain
property in Beaufort District S. c., for
school purposes; paying black and white
soldiers equal bounties; establishing a
postal telegraph. The House then took
up the Virginia bill. and after very
short debate between Bingham, Butler
and nsworth-mostly OF personal
character-concurred in the bill as it
came from the Senate; it passed by q
strict party vote.
Internal revenue receipts $611,0OO.
Delano will recommend that the Indian
Territory be formed into assessor and
collection districts, for the purpose of
collecting tax on tobacco, whskey and
malt liquors. The Ways and Means
Committee seems to favor raising the
duty on all manufactured steel and iron.
The Supreme Court to-day decided, in
case coming from the Northern Dis
trict of Alabama, that the plea of con-
federate authority is no justification for
the indictment, arrest and Imprisonment
OF persons for treason against that pow
er, by its courts, officers and grand i'll
