In Switzerland, on . recent Sunday, votes
were taken throughout the Republic on three
Federal bills, submitted Tor ratification to tho
entire nation. The first created tax for ex-
cmptlon from military service, aud its object
wa WAS % ralsc :: revenue by levying an impost on
at men 1ncapacitated for, or except
lfot11' serving in the army. The
second hill concerned certain political
rights oi tue Swiss. To describe all the details
o. i would bc Impossible, but the consequence
o. II WAS that II the Swiss wished to enjoy tlc
r!sht oi clectlng their Deputies or Muuicipal
Councillors they must be wise, full Of intcjIi
gcnce, economical, successful in business, ant,
1'ol needy, Tor poverty was ! motive 1or polite

labor, limited the hours of employment.
and imposed salutarY limits to the work of
women and children. AMonsiothcr clauses, the
measure meas required the MASTERS to pay tho em-
ployed at least once i fortnight, and III money.
The bill on the military tax WIS rejected by q
yote OF 153,3U4 to lsG, 7S}; the second, 1clatlyc

San Domingo.

Tho Anderson lDtelligencer says
thcre has been considerable interest
manifested by the oolored people Of
that section upon the subject of emmi-
grating to San Domingo in colonies.-
Frequent, meetings have been hold,
and resolution favoring the project
was adopted at meeting ut the
Greely institute. 1t was also decided
TO hold mass meeting of the County
at Anderson g. a., on last Saturday,
to which oil the colored people iu the
County we're invited. Capt. J. J.
Lewis, our Clerk OF Court, informs us
that meeting of a similar character
has recently been held in the neigh
borhood of Central Station, in this
County. We do not know what in
ducements are held out to our colorod
friends to emmigrate 10 San Domin-
go; but presume that there arc some
exaggerated stories afioat amongst
thom, and that there is some Trick in
it by which some of their "best friends"
hope to gull them and mako money
out of it. It may be, though, that
their Radical friends are going to send
| them off down there to- get their
"forty acres and q mule" 80 long
promised them. On the other hand
it may DO device on the part of the
negroes who arc out of homes, to get
themselves reinstated as tenants or la.
borers on the plantations of the whites
Should tho movement take further
shape, we shall watch it with much
interest to 500 it's ultimate termination.
Our advice to these deluded coloreG
people would be to cultivate moro
friendly relations with the native
white people, who arc the best friends
they have on earth, and seek their
advice and counsel before they start
off on any wild goose schemes, They
have beon duped by adventures long
enough and it is time they were turn
ing to their best friends for counsel
and protection.

The Gubernatorial Question.

The question of who is Governor of
South, Carolina has been squarely
brought before the Supreme Court by
q writ Of habeas corpus, in tho case of
one Smith, Penitentiary convict,
who Was pardoned by Chamberlain
Colonel e, Parmele, the suporintend-
ent.refused to recognize the legality
Of the. pardon, on the grounds that
Chamberlain was not Governor. There
was two pardons issued at the same
time, and The case of one has becn
argued before Judge Carpenter somo
time since !; but as this functionary
oopld not mako up a decision until
he had gone to Washington, and
as he remained there so long, the
case OF, the other convict was carried
sqnarely y before tho Supreme Court,
where tho question could be finally
and more speedily decided, without
waiting on the slow actions of Judge
Carpenter. The case was set tor ar.
gument last Saturday, but the decis>
ion has not boon rendered. We
have tho utmost confidence that the
decision when rendered, will be in
favor of Hampton, as all tho law and
justice is on his side.

WIN. E. EARLE,
Attorney for tho Richmond and Dam
vile Railroad Company, and for
tho Bank Of Commerce,

President Grant has signed tho
Electoral Bill. In conclusion of his
message announcing his approval of
tho bill, he says:
The bill may not be perfect, and tho
provision may not be such as would be
best applied TO all future occasions,
but it is calculated to meet the present
condition OF tho questions and of the
country. The country is agitated. 1t
needs and desires peace, and quiet,
and harmony between al parties and
all sections. It's industries arc arros-
ted; labor unomploy Cd; capital idle,
and enterprise paralyzod by reason of
the doubt and anxiety attending the
uncertainty Of a doubtful claim, to be
Chief magistrate Of the nation. 1t
wants to bo assumed that tho result
of tho election will be accepted with,
out resistance from tho supporters of
the disappointed candidates, and that
its highest officer shall not hold bis
place with questionable title of right.
Believing that the bill will secure
these ends, give it my signature.
(Signed) U. s. GRANT.

Grant has tolographed Gen. Auger,
commanding in Louisiana, regarding
parishes in tho State: "When persons
hold credentials from both parties,
claiming to be Governor, they may
tako possession; when there are oon-
flicting claims, tho old tunctionaries
may. hold over"
ibis sounds rather imporious, and
smacks strongly of military rule in
the State. It is only by the grace of
Grant, that either Nichols or Pack,
ard can do anything; if Grant would
coase to interfere in State matters,
which he has no right to do, and leave
the decision of ali disputed questions
to the people of the States, they will
be settled speedily, and without a.
struggle. The only hope of Packard
and chamberlain is through Grants
interference. But the 4th of March
will soon be here--then good bve
carpctbaggers. ~
