WHAT is known as the WELLS substi-
tute for the Registration bill reported
by the Judiciary Committee, passed the
House yesterday 1t is thought it will
pass the Senate by vote of about lG
to eff the six bitterest of the "bitter-
enders" do not, in the meantime sue.
cumb, and make it unanimous. 1t will
be remembered that the provisions Of
this proposed act, are -
l. The appointment by the Governor
"as soon as practicable after the first
day of May next" Of a Board of Regis
tration. to consist of three members, two
Radicals and one Democrat, in each
county of the State. The right 10 re-
move and fill vacancies, is reserved to
the Governor.
"a Board of Registration to be
elected by the people in each county OF
the State, on the Fourth Thursday of
October LeSt
3. The Board elected shall be COM
prised of two from one political party
and one from the other.
4. The term of Office of the members
of this Board shall commence on Janu-
a-y l, 1871.
5. The Governor fills vacancies.
In this bill the Radicals acknowledge
the iuiquity of the Registration Act now
in force, by taking from the Governor
the appointing power. But while ac-
knowledgng this, they are careful to
reserve to him the power topractice the
infamies for which he became notorious
in the Greenbrier, Jefferson and other
cases, last fall, until after tn" next gen.
eral election. This was undoubtedly
done at his; bidding, that he might fol-
low in the footsteps of his "illustrious
predecessor::"- again, aud then
Senator.
While the bill is not what the people
desired or expected; nor what they de-
manded at the polls last fall; yet the
concession it contains to the popu lar
voice is important and significant. The
Radical leaders have hardened their
hearts and stiffened their necks against
the just demands of the people many
times, until it seemed unsafe to do so
longer. They concede the Justice of
our demands, without granting them
Hating, they are ruined.
The Democracy are utterly Indifferent
as to the passage of this bill. Before
it can have any practical effect the State
will be in our hands, at any rate.
Our members have placed the response
bility of defeating the passage of fair
and just bill upon the shoulders of the
Radicals. Let us 60 before the people
on the record.

Now that there is a certainty that the
negro, by the adoption of the 10Th
amendment, will have conferred upon
him all the rights and privileges, social
and political, of the white man, would
seem as if the advance guard of the
Radical party Ought to be satisfied.
Such, however, is not the case. WEN
DELL PHILLIPS, the acknowledged lead
CT of the Radical wing of the Republi-
can party, is for making them pension
ers upon the pnblc treasury. At the
recent annual meeting of the American
Anti.Slavery Society, a resolution was
adopted to the effect that the "voter in
the position of tho negro needs land to
make him independent, and also pecu-
MARY aid" Mr.. PHILLIPS made speech
in support of this resolution, and in
substance said:
The whole nation recognizes the fit
ness and necessity of securing land for
the negro. Without homestead, the
ballot and his civil rights will be worse
than empty forms-they will be real
evils. 1t is proposed
that the nation shall lend the negro
money. Without money how shall
be break up the soil, fence, build or
cultivated Where is his mule to come
FRONT Every negro
family can justly claim forty acres of
land, one years support, furnished
cottage, mule and farm tools, and free
schools for life. This would cost us
about one thousand million of dellars.
am not sure that, with all its appar-
enc wealth, the nation has anything it
has right to lend the negro. There
might be a fair argument framed TO Shor
that he really oirns all.
As the Republican party nave here
tofore carried out the doctrines Of
PHILLIPS wing of the party, we pre-
sumo it will do so in this instance

The New Railroad Through West yir-
giuia.

A meeting of the citizens of Pitts
burgh was held on Monday evening, to
consider the proposition to build rail-
road from that city through West Vir-
ginia to Charleston, South Carolina.
Governor STEVENSON and other citizens
of this State had been invited to attend
the meeting, but failed to do so. Sew
eral speeches were made, but no facts
and figures Of general interest present
ed. The meeting closed with the pas
sage of the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, The Pittsburgh, Virginia
and Charleston Railroad Company is
row before the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania, asking for tho passage of certain
acts, the citizens Of Pittsburgh, the
counties of Allegheny, Westmoreland,
Washington, Fayette and Greene, as
sembled in public meeting at the Board
of Trade Rooms of the city of Pitts
bsrg, hereby
Resolred, That the construction of a
railway up the valley of the Mononga-
hela, frustrated more than thirty years
ago By adverse legislation at the time
the Baltimore Il Ohio railroad was pro-
jected, has ever since been considered
of vital necessity by the citizens of the
south western counties of the State, as
well a, the large number of States de-
pendant on the coal and iron trade GEN.
tering in the city of Pittsburgh.
RESOLVED, That the completion OF the
connection with the railway system of
tue Southern States is imperatiyely de-
manded in the construction of said rail-
road, by all the iron highways leading
from Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Erie,
New York aud Philadelphia. THE pro-
posed line intersecting at Fairmont with
the Baltimore and Ohio, and at Chris
tiauburg with the Virginia and Ten
nessee railroad, aud at White Sulphur
Springs with the Chesapeake aud Ohio
railroad, thus giving through Pitts
burgh the shortest line from the points
north enumerated, with either Chatta-
nooga or Charleston, S. c. ..
ReSOlred, That we regard the compile
ton of this great iron artery of inter.
communication as forming another
magnificent bond and link OF union be-
tween the sections, and in national as
we'll as a local view, in every way wor-
thy of hearty industrial and corporate
assistance.
ResOlred, That in the opinion of this
meeting, the proposed railroad ad.
dresses itself with peculiar force to all
investors and financiers, the enormous
development of the mineral resources
alone furnishing safe, profitable and
constantly increasing trade over said
railroad, nuch beyond the ordinary re-
quirements of the interest amount for
capital stock and mortgage bonds.
Resolred, That we earnestly and re.
spectfully urge the Senators and Repre-.
sentatives of Pennsylvania to forward
the passage of such measures and legis.
lation as may be asked by the friends Of
the proposed railway.
Mr.. 7. P. Houston then offered the
following resolution, which was unani'
mously adopted:
Resolred, That the preamble and reso.
utions be adopted as read, and that
MSssrs. Josiah King and j. +. Dravo be
appointed committee to forward cop
les thereof to the Governors of Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
at the call of the chairman.

THE Senate yesterday, completed the
proceedings necessary to bring Judge
HARRISON to trial. Twenty days must
elapse after the reception of the notice
by the Judges attorney at Lewisburg,
before the trial will commence. 1t the
notice ia served to day, as it probably
will be, the Legislature may proceed on
the first day of March. The sculking of
HARRISON from this city to avoid the
service of the notice, is generally re-
garded as a confession of guilt, and rob-
bed most of his political friends of their
last pretext for trying to prevent an
investigation. 1t may now be regarded
as reasonably certain that the days OF
NAT. HARRIsoN's official tyranny, law
lessness and corruption are about
ended

The PHOSPHATE TRoUBLEs.-festerday, be-
fore Judge Carpenter, Attorney-General Cham
berlaiuAnd Major Corbin, on the part Of the
State, instituted suits for damages in the sum
of $1,000 against Henry Prince, Samuel Preg-
nall, Patrick Powers, John Litgen and c. and
F. Degnall, for having on the lst OF June, 1870,
without permission of the State, and contrary
% law, mined, dug and removed from the bed
of the Stono River, below the low water mark,
two hundred tons ofphosphates, and converted
the same to their use. They claimed that as
the State has duly asserted its interest and
right in said phosphates in said river, by an
act entitled Gan act (passed March LIST, ls10)
to grant to certain persons therein named,
and their associates and successors, the right
to dig and mine In the beds OF the naVigable
streams and waters of the State OF South
Carolina for phosphate rock and phosphate
deposits and as said persons therein named
have accepted the grant aud complied with
the terms and conditions thereof, the plaintiff
was entitled to judgment for damages. and
demanded that the defendants be perpetually
en]oined from digging, mining or removing
phosphates from the beds Of the Stono, or
rivers and waters of the State.
The counsel for the defendants, Messrs.
simonton & Barker, Lesesne & Miles and Viii
liam Tenuent, resisted the motion, claiming
that their clients were willing to pay the
royalty. The arguments occupied nearly all

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE-E2PLOsIoN OF LIQUORS.
About 8 O'Clock last night a policeman OBJ
served smoke issuing from the building No.
17s East Baystreet, occupied by j. H. Renne-
ker as wholesale liquor house. On looking
through the keyhole, the policeman observed
that the rear part of the store was on fire, and
gave the alarm. In few moments thereaf-
ter the engines were upon the ground and at
work, but despite their exertlons, the fire.
feeding as 1t was upon the most infammable
materials, gained upon them. For some time
it was thought that the stores Of Mr.. F. Entel-
man, on the left, and Messrs. Ostendorff g. Co.,
on the right, would be seriously damaged, If
not destroyed, by the fire. As 1t was, how
ever, the flames were confined to the build
ing in which it originated.
During the fire several liquor casks eX-
ploded with loud report, and although sfrag-
meats of wood and glass were thrown out into
the middle of the street, no one was injured by
them.
The building in which the fire started be-
longed to Mr.. Albert Bischoff. Nothing but
the bare walls are left. 1t was partially in
sured The stock of Mr.. Renneker, which
was completely destroyed, was valued at from
$4,000 to $4,000, on which there is $40, 600 in
surance in company represented in this city
by Mr.. 2. B. Oakes The stock of Messrs. Os-
tendorf Co. was slightly damaged by water.
The origin OF the fire is not known, but it Is
supposed to have been the work of an incen-
diary. The store was locked up as usual about
half-past o'clock yesterday afternoon.

CHANGES ON THE SoUTa CAROLINA RAIL-
RoAD.-The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
has the following paragraphs in regard to the
changes now making among the officers Of
this road:
10 Mr.. John E. Marley. who has for so many
years held the position of agent OF the compa-
ny in this city, we learn, has been offered
similar situation In the city of Columbia, South
In this city he has rendered himself very popu-
lar with our citizens, by the invasiable courte-
sy and consideration which they have expert
enced at his hands, and he Will carry with him
their best wishes for his future prosperity.
MT. Marley's successor in the Augusta agen-
Mr. Hull is, we believe, native Of this State,
and a brother of Hon. W. Hope Hull, OF Au-
gusta, and George G. Hull, Esq, who has the
Contract for building the Macon and Augusta
Railroad.
Mr.. Hull has for some time past resided in
Pennsylvania as an officer Of the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, of which corporation Mr.
Tyler was the general superintendent before
M accepted his present position with the
South Carolina Railroad
We also learn that Mr.. John Thames has
been appointed assistant superintendent Of the
South Carolina Railroad, uioe Mr.. Gilbert, re-
tired. Mr.. Thames has for many years past
been employed on tnls ranroad as q conductor,
and has the reputation OF having filed that
positlon In the most faithful and efficient man
ner. This change, we believe, will take effect
Immediately.
Mr.. william England. who held the position
of general passenger agent on this railroad,
has rendered his resignation, which was ac-
Cepted and the Office which he held abolished.
A change has also been made with regard to
the number Of conductors formerly employed
by the company, and the force materially re-
duced. We learn that two have been taken Oh
