1t will be perceived that the last line
of the above bill, in italics, is exactly
the same as the bill alluded to in Mr..
Nisbet's order in favor of ). Hellman,
dates and all, which had been paid and
receipted for nearly five months prior.
Try to traduce mans character, and
then wrong him! Comment is unne-
cessary. The truth is, an effort is be-
ing made by our enemies to draw us
into the political arena, whether we
will or not, and any attempt upon our
part to correct erroneous impressions
is met by our opponents in an unwar-
rantable manner. What has my
"long bill" of Indebtedness to do with
our Fourth of July matters ?

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

In the Senate on the 9th, bill was intro
duced to fix the salary of the President at
$4,000 after the term of the present incum-
bent. Also, bill authorizing and directing
the Postmaster-General to cause to be con-
structed line of telegraph between Wash
ington and Boston, via the principal cities on
the route, to be operated in the post-ofices of
the said cities, by persons to be appointed by
the Postmaster General. A resolution was
introduced asking the President to communl-
cate the names of all civil and military Off
GERS who are in arrears with the Government,
and the amount due by each also to state
the number of acres of public lands and the
amount of money that have been granted by
the Government to railroads or other internal
improvements. In the House, a bill was
passed disquaifying members of Congress
from holding office under the United States
if they act as counsel for defendants in suits
brought by the Government to recover reve-
nue. frauds. A number of bills were intro
duced-among them bill to reduce the
Presidents salary to s25,000; to extingush
the Indian title to the Black Hills reserva-
tion to substitute United States notes for
issues of national banks ; to make valid before
the treasury all permits to purchase products
of the insurrectionary States granted by the

manner in which for ornamental purposes, the
reservations, streets and avenues we're laid
out, and the proportion of the property &C.
tually possessed by the general government
1 think the proportion of the expenses of the
government and improvement to be borne by
the general government, the cities of Wash
ington and Georgetown, and the county,
should be carefully and equitably defined.
In accordance with section 3, act approved
June 2S, 1874, I appointed board to make
survey of the mouth Of the Mississippi river,
with view to determine the best method of OBJ
tanning and maintaining depth of water suf:
ficient for the purposes of commerce, &C., and
in accordance with an act entitled all act to pro-
vide for the appointment Of a commission of
engineers to investigate and report perma-
nent plan for the reclamation Of the alluvial
basin of the Mississippi river subject to inun-
dation, I appointed commission of engi-
neers. Neither board has yet completed its
labors. When their reports are received they
will be forwarded to Congress without delay.

aside every consideration to come here to
speak in behalf of the common welfare OF the
State. He disclaimed any desire to use any
influence that did not belong to him as a sim
pie member of the Republican party. The
only fear that he entertained was whether he
had the courage to do his duty. That duty
was an unpleasant one, but it must be dis
charged. In the selection of a judge of the
first circuit man must be selected whose
character is above suspicion. If the whole
field were open. and the circumstances were
such that he could select, from the educated
men of the State, candidate of ability and
character and learning, lie was free to say
that his choice would not fall upon any Of the
three candidates named tonight. But he now
proposed only to discuss the merits of the
three candidates named, and to inquire which
one of them came the nearest to the aualltica-
tions ofa judge. There were three qualifica-
tions to be considered. First, the candidate
must be Republican second, he must be a
man of ability, qualified to gil the position !;
and third, his character and integrity must be
above suspicion. 1t was in ustice to the Re-
publican party to suppose that they could do
anything merely because of their numerical
majority. They had seen majority of forty
thousand dwindle down to ten thousand i'll the
last campaign under the pressure of just such
mistakes. They had no right under any cir
cumstauces or under any political pressure, to
impose upon any community in this State
man to administer the laws whose character
and reputation do not entitle him to the full
confidence Of every man, woman and child IN
the community. He then compared the quail
6catiens of the three candidates. He was op-
posed to the election of Gen. Whipper or of
Mr.. Baker to that position, and it was his
opinion, that of the three candidates named,
the one who best met the requirements OF the
position was COL Reed"
These and similar remarks brought TRADE
of abuse upon the administration from Whip
per and his partisans; but as the vote next
day shows, the Governor commands the
strength of the General Assembly.
The election of Judge Reed is hailed with
satisfaction throughout the State; and espe'
cially in Charleston, where his judicial func-
tions will be exercised, the people are univer-
sally pleased. Judge Reed stands "amongst
the first in talent, character, attainment and
general fitness for the position to which he
has been chosen. He is in the vigor of life,
was for eighteen years the Solicitor of the
Northern Circuit, is known for his assiduty
in business and devoted to the profession OF
the law, and is possessed of good talents and
frank, earnest manners"

carries the mail from the depot to the post
Office, cut and seriously wounded two negroes,
whom he alleges were endeavoring to steal
the mail bags from his cart. The negroes are
strangers here, having been recently dis

ALMOST A FIRE.

On Monday night, between Z and o'clock,
the roof of the Yorkville Female Institute
was discovered to be in flames near the belfry.
By the prompt action Of Prof Hubbard,
aided by lady and the servants of the insti-

roof caught from sparks falling from one of
the chimneYs.

THE EXAMINATION.

On Tuesday last, the public examination Of
the pupils of the Yorkville Female Institute
came of: The day was cold, but withal, very
pleasant The sky was clear and the streets
we're dry and smooth; but Notwithstanding
these and many other favorable circumstan-
ces, but few persons attended the examination.
Like the persons who were once invited to
wedding, all had some excuse for not attend
ing. The few, however, who were present at
the examination enjoyed rich feast, and those
who did not attend should regret it. A good
ly number Of young ladies and misses, with as
bright faces as two eyes ever gazed upon, were
examined on the studies gone over during the
session. These studies embraced geography,
arithmetic, algebra, English grammar, and
English literature. While being examined in
some of the studies, the young ladies spoke
rather low; but on the whole there was but
little ground for complaint on this score.
We were highly pleased with the examina-
ton in arithmetic. Had some of our practi-
cal men been there, they would have learned
some things Of great Importance to them in
their everyday business. The examination on
arithmetic was thorough, and the young ladies
showed that they thoroughly understood what
they were doing. This is said not as mere
blarney, but as candid conviction.
The examination was conducted by Prof
Hubbard and Miss Amanda Moore. The
most perfect order prevailed throughout the
entire examination.
