sides, there is pleasing variety Of miscellaneous
articles of decided literary merit. An interesting
story, entitled the .'Heir of Gaymount," from the

rHr sxpuLs1oN OF wH1rrEMoRE.

We rrblish in another column full account OF
the proceedings of Congress, relating to the ar
ra;gnmer. and expulsion of B. F. wHIrTEMoRE
from his seat as member from South Carolina.
His guilt was undeniable. and there was not dis
sentinp. voice in this action of the House of Rep
reseutatives We are willing to accord full credit
to the dominant party for this righteous verdict,
and trust that the good work may be continued, SO
that the legislative halls of the nation may be
nnrced of all such characters as the reverend
carpet -bagger has proved to be.
One of the most disgraceful features Of this
affair is the connection of Gov. SCOTT with the at
tempted resignation of WHIrrEMoRE. The latter
obtained delay before the House of Representa-
tives. with the cstensible view of making his
defence, and when the time arrived for final
hearing of his case, he presented telegram from
the Governor, accepting his resignation, aud thus
sorobt to avoid the disgrace of expulsion. The
trick did not work, however, and Speaker BLAINE
refused to recognize the recalcilrant member.
Now it is attempted to excuse or palliaie the con-
duct of Gov. scorr on the ground that to refuse
his resie nation would have been to CONTINUE in
Office man oonfessedly guilty. We would like to
be informed whether or not Gov. ScorT suggested
the matter of resignation, in order to shield his
guilty confrere!

THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

The report of the special joint committee ap-
pointed by the Legislature to investigate the af
fairs of the Blue Ridge Railroad is published on
our first page to-day 1t will be seen that tbisre-
port fully exculpates the officers Of the Company
from the numerous and wholesale charges made
against them in the public prints, and places on
record such incontrovertible evidence will usti
fy them before the people OF the State in rescin-
ding the contract made with CREswELL Co.,
about which SO much has been said in various
quarters. The sagacity and good management Of
President HARRISON have been complimeIted by
the committee in terms of unmeasured praise, and
we are confident that he deserves all that can be
done in this particular.
We hope to announce shortly that tho work on
the Blue Ridge Road i, being pushed forward vig-
orously. The ilcessant bad weather has retarded
the movements of the engineer corps now seeking
to ascertain the feasibility of new route across
Stumphouse mountain, by which the delay and
magnitude of the tunneling will be obviated in o
great measure. If this be accomplished, we think
the prospects of the road will be materially eu-
HANGED, and that the iron horse will speed its way
ocross the mountains. At least, such are the just
expectations Of the present m oment.

THE EREpuBl1cAN STATE CENTRAL CON-
MITTEE,


The State Central Committee Of the Republican
party me, in Columbia on Friday last. The chair
man made report, stating that the object OF cal
ling the meeting together was to make arrange
ments for the coming campaign, and to reorganize
the Republican party. His appointments to fill
vacancies we're confirmed. Numerous resolutions
were introduced relative to the death of Randolph
the former chairman of this Committee, and it was
proposed to build monument over his remains.
A committee was appointed to raise subscriptions
fer this purpose, and speeches on the subject were
made by Gov. scorr, Congressman BowES and
others The regular business Of the meeting was
then transacted, and it was decided to hold State
convention of the Republican party on the 26th
of July next, at which time the ticket for State
officers will be arranged.

Jusr CoApLArNT.-A correspondent Of the

SOUTHERN INVENTIONS.

In his last annual report, the Hon. S. S. FISHER,
Commissioner of Patents, says that one OF the
most gratifying results of the restoration of peace
and the introduction Of new system of labor in
the South is found in the increase of applications
for patents from this section of the country.
During the past year, FIVE hundred and seventy
four patents were granted to citizens of the late
over any previous year. In the class of agricul-
ture, the Examiner of Patents reports that sin
1859 the number Of applications from the South.
as compared withathose from the North, was less
than two and O. half per cent. of the whole mum.
ber. In 1859 the number of applications from
the South was increased to over 90 per cent Of
all the cases in my class" The Scientific Ameri-
can, which is high authority on the subject o!
patents, remarks 'that it is noticeable fact that
the inventions submitted to this Office from the
South exhibit degree of novelty and practica-
bility not formerly evinced from this section Of
our country. Whether it was the war that had
sharpened the native genius Of the South, or that
these inventions emanate from Northern men 10.
Gated there, We are unable to state; but the fact
is patent that many good inventions are coming
from the Southern States" This is indeed q
gratifying evidence of the great improvement
among our people, in respect to utilizing and
economizing laber, besides showing the latent
genius of people always derided for their want
of energy and activity. The opportunity and
necessity for such things has awakened the sluu-
bering embers of native talent, and we have The
result as above in one of The most important
branches of Improvement and progress.

PopULARIzING THE CoURTs.-The Laurensyille
Herald contains the following paragraph. AL
though we have been aware, for long time, that
the notorious JOE CREWS would engage in almost
any business, regardless of his qualifications or
fitness for the same, We arc somewhat surprised
that he has gone to the practice of the low his
own hook" at this late day in his life. But we
are more than astonished at Judge VERNON allow
ing this fomentor of dscord and general dsturber
of the public peace to occupy the time of his court
with an useless harangue, intended to make politi-
cal capital for the Republican party 1t was his
duty to order CREWS to keep silence, and in the
event of that worthy refusing to obey, the Sheriff
could have taken HIM into custody. But, alas in
these degenerate days, the power and impudence
of these Radical leaders forces even portion of
the judiciary to relinquish its independence, and
stiffe the dictates of justice and reason. Wecopy
from the Herald:
On Tuesday evening, Joseph Crews, member of
the Legislature, addressed the court Claiming the
right. as he had many cases on docket and alleged
that the iures did not contain the legal proper
tion of whites end negroes: that the drawing of
the jurics was irregular, &c., and moved that
Judge Vernon adjourn the court. 1t was answered
by several gentlemen of the bar that no case being
under discussion in which Crews was party, that
the court was made popular assembly that m
"dle spectator was absorbing the time of the
court, and nterruptng the proceedings. Judge
Vernon listened patiently, took the arguments
home with him in his pocket and at this writing
has not given an opinion.

RESIGNED.

1t Is announced that g. P. LEsIIE,ss the erratic
Senator from Barnwell, has resigned the position
of Land Commissioner of this State, which he has
flled for the past six or eight months. 1t is
thought that r. c. DeLarge, colored representa-
tive from Charleston, will be appointed Land Com
missioner. The new bill in aid of the land scheme,
and which appropriates half million of dollars
contains clause that the Land Commissioner
shall not purchase real estate only when there is
certainty of dsposing of the same to actual set
tiers. Doubtless this was too much for LESLIE, as
there was no chance for private transactions be-
tween him and his friends.

AN IMPORTANT LAW.

We have already noticed the passage of an Act
by the Legislature Of this State, authorizing ad-
mnstrators executors and other fduciaries to sell
certain evidences of Indebtedness at public sale,
and to compromise in certain cases. The Act is
as follows:
Section first declares that all administrators, ex-
ecutors and other fduciaries, shall be allowed to
SELL to the highest bidder, as other personal prop
ery is now sold all notes. accounts and other evl-
dences OF Indebtedness coming into their hands as
such, when the same is appraised doubtful or
worthless and the purchaser thereof shall be al
lowed to bring his action in his own name, as pur-
chaser, to collect the same.
The second section declares that oil administra-
tors. executors and other fduciaries, may, by and
with the consent of the Probate Judge, compro-
mise all demands coming into their hands as such,
whsre the same isappraised doubtful or worthless
and where such compromises are made. the same
shall be fully shown ia their annual returns.
The provisions of this Act embrace wide ne
cessity at this time, and will meet the cases of
many administrators and executors who have been
debarred from settling estates in their hands. The
worthless character of many evidences of indebted
ness belonging to estates has prevented these fdu-
Charles from sueng for their recovery, and conse-
quently they have been comp,lled to postpone ON
application for final discharge. By the Act above
recited, they can now obtain relief from this per-
picking situation, and be discharged from the on
erous duties of their respective trusts.
