South Carolina Legislature. Of that whole
BODY but thirteen were white and the remaln.
der all blacks; but nineteen could read ana
write grammatically.
Mr.. Sherman (Raa., o. admitted that the
Legislature of South Carolina had behaved
shamefully, but he would ask the Senator what
remedy he proposed for it. Did he favor uni
versal amnesty7 because if he did, he lSher-
man would probably agree. Did he propose
to take the suffrage from the negroes9 because
if he did, that would be subject for debate,
but if the Senator proposed no remedy, he had
certainly no right to bring these matters in
here.
Mr.. Blair said he had right to do it. He
had a right to arraign this body for striking
ment for destroying local self-government.
Mr.. Sawyer Trad, S. C) corroborated the
statement of Mr.. Sherman that every one
voted in South Carolina, and MIR. Sawyer said
there were not over twenty-five hundred in the
State debarred from holding Office by the four
teenth amendment. :,
Mr.. Blair thought the Senator was very much
mistaken. He believed there we're great
many more.
Mr. Sawyer said the position of the Demo
cratic party in South Carolina was such that
no considerable number would accept the prof
fer of office. They were influenced by the at
titude of the Democratic. party in the North,
and the Broadhead letter cf the Senator to re-
fuse office for a sentiment.
Mr. Blair-For a principle.
Mr.. Sawyer-A sentiment.
Mr.. Blair-A principle. 1t was principle (;
and he was glad that the Democratic party ad,
hered to principle in spite of the loaves and
fishes. He was glad that the Democratic par
ty refused to share the plunder with the car
pet-bagger. Mr.. Blair continued in review
of the condition of other Southern States, the
debt of which, he said, had been so enormous
ly increased under Radical rule. He said that
he knew Governor Yarmouth, of Louisiana,
we'll; that he went from Missouri ragged and
naked, and without money topay for his break
fast now he lived in palace and was rolling
in wealth, and he Blair was informed that ne
never signed bill without price. In regard
to the case of Yerger, which had been brought
into this discussion by the Senator from Ohio
(Sherman), he (Blair) desired to allude to the
aspect of that case as yet untouched upon.
He then read from statement of one OF the
counsel to prove that the case had been kept
out of the Supreme Court because of the fear
that the reconstruction acts under authority of
which Yerger was committed, would be de-.
clared unconstitutional. The Radicals had
thus confessed that those acts were unconstitu-
tional, and yet without them they would be in
minority in both Houses Of Congress to-day
and minority of minority. The men who
came in by virtue of these reconstruction acts
had in caucus given the votes which deposed
the man who built up the Radical party, the
the Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr. Sumncrl
Without concluding, Mr.. Blair gave way, and
the Senate, at 4: 40 o'clock, went into e1ecu-
tive session, and then adjourned.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE REv1vINa.-Un-
der this head, the New York Commercial Id
certiscr, of Wednesday, says:
A very hopeful sign comes to us this Spring
from the South. From all parts, particularly
the cotton-growing regions our manufacturers
are taxed to the full extent of their ability in
supplying agricultural implements-not Gina
proved machinery" strictly speaking, so much
as plows, hoes, spades, and other small wares.
They hear much about "subsoiP plowing,
which really is something new. Instead of
satisfying themselves with stirring the surface,
planters seem to have made the discovery that
a few inches deeper in the earth, below the ex-
hausted soil, they have new farm, capable of
yielding more bountifully than they had ever
imagined. A light kind of plow for working
the surface is also in heavy demand. One
manufacturing establishment in New York has
three factories engaged on the work incessant-
ly.. These are sure indications that the South
ern people are recognizing their system, re-
cuperating their energies, and going to work in
earnest, Unlike agricufturists in other see
tions, they work on large scale, occupying
broad acres and this waking up few million
people, this girding of themselves anew, must
speedily tell upon the general veal.

A WISCONSIN vEro.-Gov. Fairchild, {

A WISCONSIN VETo.-Gov. Fairchild, of
Wisconsin, has vetoed an important bill and
one which he approves on its merits, on the
distinct ground that the bill was passed by
bribery and corruption. He says that any 9TH
er bill presented to him under similar circum-
stances would be returned for like reasons.
The Legislature sustained the veto and ordered
an investigation of the case. The Governor in
his message says that the time has come when
those who seek favors or privileges at tho
hands of tho Legislature, must be made to dis
tinctly understand that their application must
stand on its merits alone, and be free from even
a suspicion of corruption, and that the use Of
such means either for or against mcasurewill
meet on all hands the strongest reprobaton and
a speedy punishment: The Governor has com
mitted bold act, and has set an example that
will tend to purify legislation. HrlOory Will 60

EXCITING SCENE IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.-We make the following extract from
the proceedings of last Friday, in the United
States Senate: Garrett Davis, of Kentucky,
made a speech refuting Sherman's charges
against the South. Previous to its conclusion,
an incident of unusual character occurred,
which excited considerable comment i'll the
galleries and upon the floor. Butler of Mas
sachusetts, occupying the seat of Senator Thur
man, Immediately adjoining that of Davis, had
been for some time intently observing Davis.
AS he proceeded, Davis became restive, and
speaking with his usual warmth md earnest
ness, suddenly faced Butler, and continuing
his argument against the crcdibility of cxagge-
rated Ku Klux stories, said: "These fcticious
charges are originated by parties to effect the
coming elections The Legislatures to be elec-
ted are to choose over one-third the members
of this Senate, and it is with view of using
this political capital for these diabolical and
deyilish ends that these vile and slauderous
stories of outrages emanate from the brains of
political scoundrels and ruffans." After taking
his seat, observing Butler still staring at him,
Davis rose again, and addressing the former,
was heard to say: "What do you mean by at
tempting to browbeat me in that way? You
are damned scoundrel, sir" adding, after a
pause eyes, sir, repeat it, you are damned
scoundrel, sir" At this juncture Wilson came
from his scat on the other side of -he chamber
and interposed to prevent continuance of the
scene: Butler soon after left the chamber. 1t
is reported that he replied to Davis, 81 don't
know you, sir; don't care for you, and Idon't
want to speak to you"

but I have ever believed chat all tnen are wiser
than any one man and if the people, upon a
full presentation of the facts, shall decide that
the annexation of the rephblic is not desirable,
everv d"nartment of the Government ought to
acquiesce in that decision.
In again submitting to Congress subject
upon which public sentiment has been divided,
and which has been made the occasion of acri-
monious debates in Congress, as well as of un-
just aspersions elsewhere, I may, 1 trust, be in
dulgcd in single remark. No man can hope
to perform duties so delicate and responsible as
pertain to the Presidential office without some
times incurring the hostility of those who deem
their opinions and wishes treated with INSULT
cient consideration and he who undertakes to
conduct the affairs of great Government, as a
faithful public servant, if sustained by the ap-
proval Of his own conscience may rely, with
confidence; upon the candor and Intelligence of
free people, whose best interests he has
striven to subserve, and can bear with patience
the censure of disappointed men.

items from the 4ratanche of April Goth:
The Mahogany case is not yet decided, the
third trial resulting like the FIRST two in a
"hung jury"
A Postoffice has been established at Rock
Creek in Owyhee county.
The District Court is in session at Silver
City. One John Thomas was tried and con.
victed of horse stealing and was to have re.
celved bis sentence last Monday.
The defendants in the Mahogany case have
taken the matter before the District Court on
writ of certiorari.
The Owyhee tax cases have Mt length been
settled by the payment of the taxes and costs
by defendants
The Grand Jury, in their report to the Court,
plainly charge that embracery prevails to an
alarming extent among trial jurors in Owyhee.
Ibey found one indictment for that offense but
were unable to procure sufficient evidence
to warrant them in indicting others whom they
mad good reason to believe were guilty of q
like offense.

CREyAssEs ON THE MIsSIssIPPI.-The Mis-

levees in several places, and several crevasses
of large dimensions appear to have created
considerable CONSERVATION, not only among the
inhabitants of those regions which have been

latest advices report that the Wallace crevasse,
at ST. James, has been closed, as also the Mo-
zero and yallero crevasses. There are yet a
half dozen others, and if the river Continues
rising it will be almost impossible to close them
before next Fall or Winter. The damages re-
sulting from this overflow will be incalculable
and in the present condition of affairs in the
South will result in much suffering to the peo-

A RICH MINE.--Dr. Latham, gentleman
of scientific attainments. whose labors have
greatly contributed toward bringing the Utah
mines into their present prominence, writes to
the Omaha Herald that the Emma is the Po-
tosi mine of Utah. Since May, 1870 this mine
has Melted to its owners 1881 900, and for three
mouths last Fall was producing at the rate of
s5,O0o,0Q0 per annum. The best ore taken
from it Is sent TO Swansea, at cost of S45 per
ton, where it is reduced, and yields, on an av-
erage, $3.50 per ton. A lawsuit is pending in
regard to the title to the mine, and yet COM
pany of gentlemen, who have had considerable
experience in mining, have paid $3.50 900 for a
half interest in it. :
