The Charleston Hotel.

This establishment, which justly ranks among
the. best Of hostelries on this continent, was
crowded with guests during our brief sojourn
IN athe city by the sea-" most of whom were
Northern travellers seeking the balmy influence
81 our sunny cline, and whose stay in Charles,
ton is a, pleasing incident of their Southern
tour. the proprietorsof the Hotel never for
get their oh friends and customers, however
and are always ready to extend q genuine vel,
come and render polite attention to every one
at no former period of its history has there
been more princely fare or assiduoas hospitali-
ty, and we take pleasure in repeating the com,
mendations SO often made in our columns OF
this splendid establishment. '.

The recent heavy rains, which eliminated in
a regular freshet on Saturday last; has caused
serious damage in many places. The bridge
over Deep Creek, on the Shallow Ford road
has been partially swept away, and we learn
that the bridge over Eighteen Mile Creek, q
few miles from Pendleton, has likewise been
carried Off. The foot bridge over the railroad
on Main street, fell through on Saturday after.
noon, in consequence of one of the mud sills
being removed by the washing rain of thai
day. Workmen are engaged in repairing this
bridge, and gill have it all right in day OIL
two. a
The railroad bridge at Alston, over the Broad
River, has swung about fourteen inches out o.
place, and trains have not passed over it since
Monday morning. The mails and passenger
are transferred from one train to another, which
involves delay of several hours.

Important Railroad Decision.

In the matter of the petition of Messrs.
Daniel Scanned and Charles MAIDEN, Of New
York, against the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad, South Carolina-being petition for
review by Judge Bond of the United States
Circuit Court, sitting in chambers, of the de-
cision of District Judge Bryan, of South Caro-
lima, declaring said railroad not bankrupt
Judge Bond has decided not to review the de-
cision OF the Court below, and TO allow the
order of Judge Bryan to remain unchanged
The application of the petitioners arose out
of failure of the company to pay its coupons,
they being holders of bonds and coupons OF the
company to the amount of about $500, ,O00.-
The legal obligations involved are, first, Is
railroad company liable to bankruptcy? Sec
ondly, are the coupons of q railroad company
commercial paper2 and thirdly. is the decision
of a District Judge to be reviewed by petition
or by writ of error?
The petitioners and the railroad company
were each represented by the ablest counsel
from South Carolina.

removal Of the County Auditor.

we learn that Gov. Moses has removed from
Office the County Auditor, Mr.. Thos. j. Webb,
who has held the position for several years,
and has discharged the duties of the Office
with credit to himself and satisfaction to the
community. Mr.. Webb is an old-time Repab-
lican, and has zealousiy supported the princi-
plies of that party, but last summer it was his
pleasure to support Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent and. Reuben Tomlinson for Governor, and
hence the oficisl guillotine has descended and
the fiat gone forth for bis removal. His suc-
cessor is Green D. Williams, colored man OF
fair intelligence and good character, we. are
bound to say, but whose education and abili-
ties are scarcely equal to the important duties
now deyolving upon him.

INTERESTING GEORGIA NEws.-Ex-G Cover
nor Brown and James Gardner have written
letters favoring Col. Snead's proposition to
compromise with the State Of Georgia on the
part Of the American bondlaolders, who pro-
pose 10 surrender nearly seven millions dollars
in bonds if the State will issue new bonds to
the amount of one million six hundred and
sixty-six thousand and FIVE hundred dollars,
which they will take at 80 cents on the dollar.
The Legislature is not prepared to give the
matter O serious consideration, as public opin-
ion is considered to be thoroughly averse to
compromise. No amount of outside pressure
can Induce favorable consideration from the
Legislature as it is believed that the issue of
new bonds just authorized, amounting to one
one million two hundred thousand dollars,
bearing per cent. interest, can be negotiated
on favorable terms Judge Hall and General
Browning are opposed to the compromise, but
it is stated that other prominent citizens favor
it, but the people do not see the necessity of it.
All usury laws have been repealed, and cap
ital Invested in cotton and woolen mills is ex-
empt from taxation for ten years; iron furna-
ces and manufactures of iron is also exempt
for tae same period This has become the
settled policy of the State, and companies are
now being organized under the general public
law exempting them from taxation. This will
stimulate manufactures in Georgia, as the State
offers every inducement to capital to seek in
vestment in developing the manufactures and
the coal and iron interest Of the State.

REVISION OF THE HOMESTEAD LAW
There is bill now before the Legislature to
revise and amend the Homestead Law, which
proposes some very important changes.
The second section provides that when the
homestead is duly set off, and no objections filed
within thirty days thereafter, then the title of
the homestead shall not rest absolutely in fee
simple in the debtor, and be forever discharged
from all debts then existing, or thereafter con-
tracted.
Section three provides that in case the prem
ises, including the dwelling house, exceeds in
value the sum of one thousand dollars, and
cannot be divided without injury to the re-
mainder, the commissioners shall make an
appraisal thereof, and if the person claiming
the homestead shall fail to pay the sheriff the
surplus of the appraised value over and above
one thousand dollars within sixty days, the
whole shall be sold-one thousand dollars paid
into the Clerks office, to be applied, under the
order of the Court, in the purchase of home
stead of that value, and the surplus applied to
any executions in the Sheriff's office.
Section four declares invalid any sale, gift or
mortgage of the homestead, after being duly
set off, without the order of the Court.
Section six is in these words: "No waiver
of the right of homestead, however solemnly
executed, shall be binding upon the parties, or,
in case of their death, their heirs, so as to de-
feat the homestead herein provided for"
The bill has not yet passed, but from present
indications it will do so at an early day with
out material change.-GreenciHe Republican.

The Spanish Republic.

Amadeus the second son of King Victor
Emanuel, of Italy, ascended the throne OF
Spain on the 9TH of December, 1870, having
been elected thereto by two-thirds vote of the
Spanish Cortes. After various changes incident
to the revolutionary throes of that unhappy
country, King Amadeus has voluntarily rein-
quished the throne of Spain and returned to
Italy. His reign has been occasionally dis
turbed by the opponents to his rule, especially
those in favor of inaugurating republic, but
for the past year Spain has witnessed greater
peace and prosperity than for a long time past.
At this particular juncture, the world is sur
prised with the announcement that King ANA
deus has suddenly determined to abdicate his
power; and without any unusual excitement,
among people noted for their insurrectionary
propensities, the place is made vacant, and the
Cortes resumes the powers delegated to King
Amadeus only two brief years ago. Senior
CASTELAR,, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
Don Fernando Cordova, as Minister of War,
are the efficient right and left bowers of the
President, Senor Figueras, who is noted as
parliamentarian and lawyer. The republic is
established almost in breath, and instantly the
people recognize the authority assumed by the
bold and intrepid leaders, who are preparing to
place the country in condition to be recog-
nized as an Independent republic by all the
great nations of the world. 1t is asserted that
England, France, Belgium and Switzerland
will certainly recognize the new government,
and the United States has promptly acknowl-
edged the establishment of the Spanish Repub-
lie as a fixed fact. The Minister to Spain, Hon.
Daniel E. Sickles, called upon Senor Figueras,
and congratulated his Excellency upon the
wisdom and dignity with which the change of
government was effected, remarking that it was
a happy auspice of glorious future for Spain,
and declaring that "the United States, occupy
ing large tract of continent which was civil
lied by Spanish faith and valor, cannot con-
template unmoved the spectacle of the Empire
of Ferdinand and Isabella transformed into a
Republic. The American people rejoice to see
Spain initiating their example, and establishing
prosperity and power upon solid foundations.
In expressing to your Excellency the fervent
good wish of President Grant, and recognizing
your authority, accomplish the most agreea-
BILE duty of my mission to this noble and gen.
erous country"
Senior Figueras, in reply to General sickles,
said, "his grave responsibilities would over
whelm him were it not for such moments as
the present. when you so eloquently convey the
robust voice of the American people in bless
ing and acclaiming the advent of the Republic,
dence scs will preserve. If the United States is
Indebted to Spain for the discovery of the
American continent, Spain is indebted to the
United States for the founding of new social
order. Spain will remember the worthy ex-
ample set her by the United States"

"What's in a Name"

This. question has sorely puzzled the minds
of great men in all ages, from the time OF
Shakespeare, at least, down to the present un'
happy era, and we find that there are divers
opinions prevalent in the world as to whether
so rose by any other name would smell as
sweet" Be this as it may, however, there is
sufficient Importance attaching to names as to
require a careful study occasionally to give ap-
priateness or avoid unseemly consequences. We
have case in point, as related to us last week
in Columbia, which fully illustrates our mean
ing. It appears that Niles G. Parker, SO widely
known as the custodian of State finances when
things went along swimmingly in that depart
ment, is engaged at present in erecting an ex-
tensive building on Main street in Columbia, a
portion of which is to be used as a public hall
for theatrical entertainments, and the like. One
morning last week, he was viewing the fair
proportions of the building, in its rapid pro-
gress towards completion, when he was Joined
by an eminent and astute Judge, who is famed
as nomencator, no less than for other ac-
ouirements of an unusual character. Quoth
the Judge to the late Treasurer, Parker, what
name do you propose for the new ha!l?' In
solemn manner, the Ex-Treasurer replied that
he was considering the propriety of calling ii
"Parker's Hail." To which the Judge respond
ed: "Oh, that will never dop "Why not, y
said Parker. "For the simple reason, that the
people might not agree with you in the spell
ing, as they would probably render it haulP
The point was instantly comprehended by the
Ex-Treasurer, who is supposed to have made
such good haul during his term of office
and after looking closely into the recesses Of
his new hall, we are informed that he relapsed
into moody silence. And the Judge went his
way rejoicing, if not happy.

: In addition to the Atlantic and Great
Western Canal project, which is now claiming
the attention of Congress, the subject of an
other national water way has been broached.
The new scheme has for its object the connec-
ton of the waters of the Cumberland, Saluda
and Savannah rivers by series of canal, which,
it is claimed, can be constructed with little la
bor and little expense. The advocates of the
measure contend that it will accomplish all
that can be accomplished by the Atlantic and
Great Western Canal-give direct, navigable
route, open during the whole year, between the
Western States and South Atlantic harbor,
while its cost will not be half as great.

University of South Carolina.

On Friday last, the Legislature met in joint
assembly for the purpose of electing seven
Trustees of the University of South Carolina'
whose term CT office extends four years. Fit
teen or twenty persons were nominated for the
position, and Messrs. S. ]. Lee, j. A. Bowley,
w. r. Jervey and S. A. Swails were elected.
All of them are colored men, and members of
the General Assembly. When the election
had proceeded thus far, question was raised
as to whether members of the Legislature were
qualified under the Constitution TO hold this
position. Pending decision of the question,
the Joint assembly dissolved to meet again on
Tuesday at one o'clock. In response to an
enquiry from the Speaker, who is one of the
Trustees elected on Friday, Judge I. j. Mackey
has given the opinion that there is no constitu-
tional objection to the trustees of the State
University holding another position, and bases
this opinion on the ground that the position OF
trustee is not an Office of profit or trust, but is
rather an agency or commission. The opinion
of Judge Mackey has doubtless governed the
action of the General Assembly, and we expect
to hear that the Board of Trustees has been
filled by the election of other members OF the
Legislature; and from the tone and temper OF
the speeches on Friday last, we have no doubt
that the remaining three are likewise of the
colored persuasion. 1t is death-blow to the
institution, so long revered and cherished by
the people of South Carolina, and is an onward
step towards placing every public institution
under the complete control and management
of the negro majority. Passion and prejudice
will sweep away the last vestige of hope and
announcement for better state of things.

The Committee on Privileges and Elections
meets tomorrow for consultation on the Loui-
siana case, and will report Wednesday. 1t is
thought in Radical circles, that Morton will
make report, sustained by Anthony and AL.
corn, in favor of Kellogg. Carpenter will
make q report, supported by Hill and Logan,
for a new election. Trumbull will report for
McEnery. The better opinion is that Trum-
bull will join Carpenter, giving majority OF
the committee against Kellogg. A member of
the committee mot Mr. TrumbulI thinks the
election was as fair as elections usually have
been recently in the South, and that no one
will have the hardihood to support the Kellogg
Government. He thinks Judge Durell had
better have been attending to something else,
when he was meddling with State affairs The

ton and laws of each State respectively, as
existing in the year 1871; and that such ex.
emptions be valid against debts cont CONTRACTED acted
