The House Of, Representatives Of this
State passed a resolution instrqcting Sem
ator Butler to present to thenSenate a
copy of the report of the Investigating
Committee, and request the investigation
of the charges therein made against SEN
ator Patterson. When this8 resolution
reached the Senate it was referred to the
committee on Federal Relations and has
not since been heard of. Does this com.
mittee intend to "pigeon hole" the reso-
luton, and thereby become the defenders
and shields of Pattersona Ifso, we:trust
an effort will be made to discharge the
committee from the consideration Of the
resolution and bring the matter before
the Senate, The resolution ought to be
adopted and thereport presented to the
Senate 1t would almost certainly force
the expulsion Of Patterson, which would
give us an additional Senator from this
State. There should be no relaxation of
the prosecution of John j. Patterson.
Any bargain, connivauce or leniency
which tends to countenance' and sustain
a man So covered with corruption would
be disgraceful to the honest name of the
State 7of South Carolina. We cannot
afford to palliate or condone the offences
of this man, who, but short time; ago,
was rejoicing over the prospect of iaFive

Judge Mackey is reported as saying
that Senators Gordon and Lamar express
the opinion that further proceedings
against Patterson should now be dropped.
For what.reason we would like to be in
formed. Certainly the fact that heyoted
for Buffers admission to the Senate il. no
reason to excuse him for his past crimes.
In voting to: admit Gen. Butlerlhe only
did his duty, and no man can discount
one good deed against, perhaps, a thou
sand bad ones, and especially when the
good deed is performed with. the fear of
speedy punishment before his eyes, as in
Patterson's case. It would be disgracaful
in the extreme to allow Patterson to. es-
cape even a prosecution, and if Senators
Gordon and Lamar have SO far forgotten
the prophecies Of the : position as to give
their unsought advice upon the Patterson
question, it is time to hint to them that
they are not charged with censorship
over the criminal courts of South Car
olina.

In q test vote upon, q preliminary mo-
ton in: the United States Senate upon
the bill to remonetize silver, the Senate,
stood 40 to Is, in favor Of thebill. This:
shows the great preponderance Of the
country to be on the side Of the dollar Of
our fathers, and indicates that the Senate,
will pass the bill even, if necessary, over
an executive veto. There is no reason
why the public debt should be paid in "a
coin dearer than the one with reference
to which it was created. 1t looks now as
if Congress intends giving the people 9
little consideration while they are adjust
ing the finances of the nation. The sill
yer dollar is now a legal tender, but as
this denomination is not coined men
cannot obtain it to pay debts with, and
hence its legal tender is, to use trite
expression, a dead letter upon our stat
ute books. It is a simple act Of justice,
as well as of sound: financial policy, to
return to the manufacture of silver dol
lars, thereby allowing them TO be OBJ
tained in trade for the uses to which the

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

The Russo Turkish war is, to all ap-.
.pearances, drawing to close. The Rus
slams have not received any very serious
check lately, though they have lost one
ortwo small fights, but on last Sunday q
desperate attack was made upon the for
titled city of Plevna, and the city was
taken by the Russians after hard and
bloody fight. Osman' Pasha, the Turk,
ish General. behaved throughout the en-
gagement with heroic valor; and was
wounded in the struggle, He was, how
ever, compelled to surrender uncondi-
tionally, and his men were found to be
in. a starving condition from the effects
of the siege. a
Thisleaves Turkey very much crippled,
and it is probable that peace wilt made
at an early day by treaty between the
contending powers. Russia offers peace
without reference to England. She re-
quires the liberty of christiansto exercise
their own belief unmolested, and to gov
ern themselves, more territory for Mon.
tenegro, and for Russia, Kars and Bstoum
as fortified towers, together with freedom
IN the use ofthe Dardanelles. ~.
It is likely these terms will be agreed
upon, as Turkey cannot afford longer to
resist the hardy warriors from the North.
