PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS

In the Senate, on the 31st, Mr.. Sargent
presented memorial signed by seven thous-
and citizens of California, asking legislation
to prohibit the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors. Mr.. Fenton presented
the memorial of the TAXPAYERS of South Car
olina, asking for relief against the misrule
and corruption prevailing in that State,
which was referred, without debate, to the
judiciary committee. The currency question
came up as unfinished business and was dis
cussed until adjournment. In the House,
Mr.. Dawes, Republican, of Massachusetts,
presented the South Carolina taxpayers me-
mortal. In presenting the petition, Mr..
Dawes said the paper bore the signatures Of
large number of prominent and influential
men of that State. Mr.. Randall, of Pcnnsyl-
vania, urged, on the ground Of State rights,
that Congress had nothing to do with the
matter, and asked if it was in tho power Of
Congress to do anything. Mr.. Dawes said he
did not exactly know what could bo done
about it; but he thought it just and proper
to receive the petition. After further dis
cussion, the petition was referred to the com
mittee of ways and means. After discussing
the Louisville and Portland canal bill, which,
after several amendments were adopted,
passed as substitute for the Senate bill, the
House resumed consideration of the currency
question.
In the Senate, on the 1st instant, the finance
bill introduced by Mr.. Sherman was under

discovered by the caving of the wall from

one of the dungeons, Osceola was chained,
previous to his removal to Fort Moultrie.
The fort is now garrisoned by an old sergeant.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

We learn that on the 2Sth ultimo, Thomas
and Edward, sons of Mr. Henry E. McFad-
den, living near Bethesda church, in this
county, went fishing, taking with them a
little negro boy. They carried with them
gun, the little white boys riding horseback,
one behind the other. On returning, in the
afternoon, while the negro boy opened the gate
for his companions to ride through, Thomas
alighted and received the gun from his broth
er, passing in the gate, the gun pointing in
the direction Of the negro. In this position
the hammer caught against the post, which
caused the gun to discharge, the contents en-
tering the breast of the unfortunate negro,
from the effects of which he died within an
hour. Trial Justice Bates, acting as coroner,
held an inquest the next day, and the verdict
Of the jury was that the shooting was entirely
accidental, and exculpating Thomas from
criminal intent.

CIRCUIT COURT.


The April term of the Circuit Court, his
Honor T. J. Mackey presiding, convened on
Tuesday last. The Judge dispensed with the
formality of a regular charge to the grand
jury, which he deemed unnecessary from the
fact that they had been previously charged
respecting their duties, and further, that hav.
ing discharged their duties satisfactorily at
previous terms, it is supposed they knew what
their duties are. He would, however, invite
their attention to the necessity of again ex-
amining into the administration of the several
officers Of the county; to ascertain the total
amount Of taxes collected and if disbursements
have been properly made-though he did not
deem detailed statement necessary. In the
opinion of his Honor, York county is pecu-
liary fortunate in having an honest body of
public officers, who are faithful in the dis
charge of their duties, which exception de.
serves the special notice of the Court at time
when robbery and plunder is the rule in every
official department of the State, without er.
ception, and when official corruption stalks
throughout the country. By lodging derelict
officers in Jail, and properly aided by the
grand jury, his Honor hopes to check the
march Of corruption in the judicial district,
and preserve in its purity the benign system
ofgovernment wisely designed for our people,
but which was brought into disrepute by the
corruption ofthose who administer its affairs.
Of the enormous taxes paid for the support of
public schools in the State, with the exception
of York county, all such schools in the State
would he closed by the first of May, in face
of the fact that s3OO,OOO had been collected
for the purpose of keeping them open. Nor
is corruption confined to this one feature
alone. So notorious is the corruption through
out every department of the State government
that it has attracted the attention of the
whole civilized world. This corruption can
only be checked by prompt action of the
courts and grand juries of the respective
counties, which, in the opinion of his Honor,
can WELD the necessary power; but should
they fail, so far as the speaker was concerned,
he should feel it to be his duty to tell the
people to check it by the might of their own
arms.
His Honor alluded to the annuity of the
State to the Catawba Indians, under treaty,
by which the State was to pay them the sum

WIT OF THE UNION HERALD.

The wit displayed by the Columbia Un'on-
Herald, in comparing the freaks of rum
away mule in that city recently, to the speed
of the "York Railroad" is the happiest bit
and the most pungent bon mot that sprightly
paper ever made. 1t must be conceded, how
ever, that the "York railroad" makes as fast
time as the exigencies of the case seem to re-
quire; is public convenience, and an indis'
pensable institution-of almost as much ben
eft to the community, in fact, as the Union-
Herald itself.

ACCIDENTAL BURNING.

On Sunday night last, about 10 O'clock
while negro woman living on the premises
of Capt. J. J. Wilson, in this county, was
passing across her room with torch, she &C.
cidentally set some straw on fire, and in their
efforts to extinquish the flames the woman, a
man and two children we're badly burnt-one
of the children so seriously injured that it died
next day. To save the adjoining buildings, it
was necessary to pull down the one on fire.

EASTER ELECTIONS.

At "a meeting of the congregation OF the
"Church of the Good Shepherd" (EpiscopaD
on Monday after Easter, the following per-
sons were elected wardens and vestrymen tor
the ensuing year:
Wardens.-Col. w. B. Wilson, Col. A..

Vestrymen.-W. B. Metts, w. I. Clawson,
John G. Kuykendal, John S. Reynolds, Dr.

Col. w. B. Wilson, Col. A. Coward, W. B.
Nets and John G. Kuykendal, were selected
as delegates to the Diocesan Convention,
which assemblies in Charleston on the 14th Of
May.
THE sPRING AND THE PROSPECT.
In this section, the spring season has opened
unusually favorable, with mild weather, and
the ground in fine condition for the plow, Of
which advantages the FARMERS are availing
themselves. From what we can learn, more
attention will be given to grain crops than
has been the custom with the farmers Of late
years. The wheat and oat crops are quite
promising, which condition is attributed to
the mild winter through which we have pass
ed. We learn from the dealers, that though
commercial fertilizers have been bought to a
considerable extentin this county, the demand
has not been so heavy this season as last.
There have been two slight frosts since fruit
trees bloomed, but from what we can learn,
the damage has been light.
