Removal of all Disabilities.

On Monday, in the federal house of
representatives, Maynard, of Tennessee,
from the committee on rules, reported a
bill removing all disabilities imposed and
remaining on any person by the third
section of the fourteenth article OF the
amendments to the constitution, and
substituting for the iron clad oath the
modified oath now administered to per-
sons from whom disabilities have been
removed. Lawrence, of Ohio, asked
whether, under that law, Jefferson Da
Wis might not obtain seat in either
house. &. F. Hoar inquired whether
the committee On rules had right 20
report such an act of general legislation.
The speaker doubted very much whe b ar
that committee had right to report it
except under call. Hoar said he would
not insist on the point. Butler. of Mas
sachusetts. said that he would. May
nard moved to suspend the rules and to
receive and, pass the bill. I'm reply to
to Lawrencc's question, he said that the
late president Of the Southern Confed-
cracy might as well as the vice-president
have seat in eid4r House, provided
the people shonld think proper to send
him. Butler. of Massachusetts, said
he would not object to the bill if it had
been examined by and was reported from
a committee. Maynard said it was the
unanimous report of the committee, and
the bill W IS then passed by a vote Of one
hundred and forty-,ne to twenty-n!ne.

4 WEEK N Port ROYAL.
The Steamship Texas.
Direct Trade Kesur.

=
Last week in Port Royal was the most
stirring Of its history. Long coal trains
were discharging their loads from, the
Suwanee mines, ready TO furnish fuel to
our peaceful line to Liverpool aud New
Orleans, or, if occasion required, to fr;
ND the war steamers of Uncle Sam on
their way to administer lesson to the
Spanish butchers in Cuba.
The lumber trains as usual, came In
loaded with the pine sticks, destined to
erect factories in New England, lay floors
in South America, build railroads in Gu
| ba, or furnish tipbers for house in New
York. A million feet were received dur
ing the week.
The Ella NJ Watts and the Kate NJ.
Hilton, discharged i5,4OO sacks OF iertl-
l;zers to be delivered in Augusta and
poiut. west on the Georgia railroad.
The splendid new bark Al ce Reed, SO
clean and trim that it seemed pity that
she ever should be banged about upon
the rough seas, came to take her hrst
load in the first cotton shipped from Port
Royal to Liverpool.
We certainly ought to get up a little
testimonial for her to remember the
event.
The last and greatest event, there came
the steamship Texas, direct from Liver
pool, bringing three hundred tons of cot
ton ties The Texas is new steamship,
built at Dunbarton. Scotland, in 1872.
She is $50 feet long, will carry 22OO tons
of freight, has good Accommodations for
passengers, draws, when fully loaded
TWENTY-FIVE feet OF water, and is in all re-
spects Il first class vessel. She met with
bad weather in trying to reach our port
and got ashore south off Tybee. Fortu-
nately the weather was perfectly calm
and she got off at high tide without dam
age of any kind, and came into our spa.
c;ous harbor with as much ease and safe
tv rs she could have gone into New
York. Her load for New Orleans con-
sisted OF crockery, iron goo's of various
kind. block tin. etc. The Texas and her
consorts of the Dominion Line can only
carry into New Orleans nineteen feet;
and they have hitherto been obi ged to
leave Liverpool with that load although
capable of taking several hundred tons
more. If freights can be obtained to
Port Royal which will be in excess OF
that which they have been limited to, 1t
will. of course, be great advantage, as
the excess can be brought into our deeper
harbor and discharge, leaving steamers
Hghteued sufficiently TO 60 into New Or
cans. The same saving of freight can
be had at New Orleans, by taking in
there only coal enough to carry them to
this point, supplying the place there with
paying freight and taking in coal here
Tor the balance of the voyage and basldes
this they can be always sure OF several
hundred tons of outward freights here.
Should our facilities for shipping grow
we will soon have line Of our own to
Liverpool direct.

To the Honorable Senate and House OF
Representatives. in Congress assembled:
Your petitioners residents of the State
of South Carolina, in the Cities OF Beau
fort and Port Royal respectfully repre-
sent for your consideration and action,
the urgent and immediate necessity OF
regular established Notifications and light
houses for the better protection OF the
persons a ID property Of citizens residing
in the cities of Beaufort and Port Royal,
located within the said harbor. The i'm
portancc of this harbor for military and
naval purposes, and the commercial
prominence which necessarily follows nat
ural advantages should enlist your earn'
est attention. The Government during
the late war upon the recommendation OF
the L. S Direct Tax Commissioners re-
served eligible sites within the harbor for
military and naval purposes. The batter
les built prior to the late war are totally
destroyed, and those erected during the
war for harbor defences were abandoned
and destroyed, leaving the largest and
most capacious harbor on the South At
lan,ic Coast de!cnce!ess, and its trade,
its rapidly growing commerce and It's clti'
zens subject TO destruction ty fCrelgn
war.
The completion of the Port Royal rail
road from the deep water Of Port Royal
barbor to Augu. tn, also connecting this
harLor with the great railroads OF the
west and southwest, has created it the
great avenue of commerce to the high
way of nations, for those two sections OF
the United States. The established lines
of European steamers now plying from
this harbor, its coastwise and foreign ship
ping are established facts, and the safety
and welfare of citizens, demand at your
hands suitable consideration.
And your petitioners will as in duty
bound ever pray.
