A dispatch from Columbia, S. G., states that
yesterday 10 the Legislature of that State, ''tho
resolution on the impeachment of Gov. Scott
being under consideration, Bowen made two
hours speech, declaring that he meant to I'M
peach all the guilty officials in succession. In
New York, Scott had admitted to him that
100000 of fraudulent bonds were being
used. Within three. days, State Treasurer
Parker had declared that the Legislature dared
not act against the Ring, because Of its own cor
ruption. In order to obtain a two-thirds vote
for impeachment be would offer a resolution to
postpone until after the Christmas recess. II
full House rejected the measure he would re-
sort to the courts. 1t is rumored that Scott
will resign within twenty-four hours Scott adj
mits that impeachment will result in conviction,
if it goes to the Senate.

Mr.. John Foster in his life Of Charles Dick
ems says, that portions Of David Copperheld
are, in truth, an autobiography of Dickens s
early career. When small boy he was over
Swallowed with what he thought was hopeless
misery. He had horror of remembering or
referring to it, as long as he lived. 1t was the
secret of his bosom. But, afterwards his old
poverty became a mine of riches to him, and
the rough material of his fame. He never lost
the habit of coming bis life into enduring nc
ton. The Dora of David Copperhcld was,
it seems, his first love, the memory of whom
always dwelt with him; and the Flora of Lit
tie Dorrit' was the same lady, not dead, in
fact, but somewhat altered by the lapse of a
quarter of a century, las that same quarter OF
century will change US al,) to whom, one
day, Dickens and his wife paid formal visit,
aud found the stuffed tavorite, Jip, in the pas

The case of Elias C. Boudinot, claiming to
be a Cherokee Indian, is said to be as far from
settlement as ever. This claim of Boudinot' $
has had about as wide range in the courts and
before Congressional committees as any other

fusal to pay tax assessed upon tobacco manu-
featured by him in the Cherokee Indian coun-
try, he claiming exemption from the tax in
question because of certain treaty stIpuIat0ns.
