material train on the Virginia and Tennessee

while crossing a bridge near Salem. The con?

mentions the fact that on the 14th of April,
1865, exactly four years after his surrender of
Fort Sumter, he had the satisfaction, by ap?
pointment of the government, of again ho'si
ing the identical fla-j, which meantime had
never left his custody, over the same fort, then
reduced to a heap of ruins. His remains have
been placed on board the United States ship
of-war Guerri?re for transportation to the Uui
ted States. On their arrlvul proper orders
will be issued to do them honor.
-Our navy makes but a sorry exhibit of Its
efficient condition. It has one hundred and
seventy-ulne ships of all classes, of which
fifty-two are steam monitors, and only one is
in commission; the rest are useless. Fifty
three ships are in commission, the rest are on
the stocks, undergoing repairs or "laid up,"
and of these none are likely to be of any future
use. Says Secretary Robeson: "Unless some?
thing is done our cruising navy, now by no
means powerful, indeed scarcely respectable
lor a nation of our rank and responsibilities,
will soon almost wholly pass out of existence as
an arm of our national power.'' Truly a cheer?
ing prospect. Economy ls a good thing, but,
like charity, it had better begin at home.
After sundry leaks In the civil service have
been effectually stopped, lt will be time enough
to reduce, the navy of a first-class power to a
fleet of mud-scows.
-The Washington Chronicle of Saturday
says: "In the contested-election case of Bowen
vs.DeLarge, of South Carolina, DeLarge. who
now occupies the seat, has failed to put in any
abutting evidence against the testimony of
the grossest frauds put in by Bowen. Addi?
tional testimony from the confession ol one of
ite commissioners of election seems to have
satisfied PeLarge that he cannot make a suc?
cessful contest, and it ls a.ipposed that he will
make no further effort. PeLarge'a counse1,
Major C. W. Buttz, has abandoned the case,
declaring it hopeless. The committee on elec?
tions wul. therefore, doubtless report that Mr.
Bowen is entitled to the seat in Congress.
Expecting this result, Mr. Dowen desired to
bring to Washington a new endorsement by
the people of his district. He became a can?
didate for the Legislature from Charleston
County, and was almost unanimously elected.
He claims that his personal popularity is so
great no one cared to run against him. When
his case is decided in the committee he will
promptly leave the Legislature and claim his
seat."
p&*The pressure of advertisements again
compels U3 to-day to i3sae a supplement,
which will be found to contain much inter?
esting reading.
The Prince of Wales.
Hi3 Royal Highaess, the Prince of Wales,
is declared to be out of danger, and the tid?
ings are hailed with genuine satisfaction
throughout the British Empire. There has
been, indeed, a curiously sudden revulsion of
popular feeling in regard to tbe heir apparent,
and he who, to American eyes, was only
looked upon, a few weeks ago, as an un
wottby son of a noble mother, is now spoken
of with respect if not with love. There is
some reason for thi3. The English people
begin to feel that they may have been too
swift to blame. They DOW see that the
Prince, whatever his faults, has not been
guilty of one hundredth part of the sins
which have been laid to his charge. Tney
are more ready than ever before to accept bim
as a young nobleman whose temptations are
as great as his useful opportunities, and whose
lack of genius is rather an advantage than a
crime in one who may reign, but will not
govern. If he cannot be a "blameless
"Prince," he can be, at least, a respectable
head of the government, who will discharge
his formal duties with regularity and public
decency. Nor would bis death have caused
any political convulsion in England. On the
contrary, it woald have rekindled the old love
for the Queen, and would have caused the
patriotic sentiment of the whole country to
crystallize around the widowed Princess of
Wales and her young SOD, the heir to the
throne. This feeling, in a large measure,
will remain, now that the Prince of Wale3 i8
likely to recover. It rests with him, by his
future conduct, to strengthen and confirm
the loyalty of his people.
The Columbia Taxpayer? In Court
A number of the taxpayers of the
City of Columbia (represeoted by R. C.
Shiver, Edward Hope nnd others,) made
application on Friday for an injunction
to restrain the further ereclion o? the
new City Hall and the new Market, and
to res:rain the defendants (the City Council,
J. L. Neagle, James M. Allen and others)
from making any use whatever of the
$250,000 seven per ceot. bonds, issued last
summer, which bonds, it is prayed, may be
delivered np and caocelled. Toe counsel
for the prosecution are Messrs. Waties, Bach
man, McMaster and LeConte, and, for the
defence, are the City Attorney, Mr. James
Tradewell, C. D. MeltoD, Esq., and Messrs.
Pope Haskell. 1 be bearing of the petition
was resumed on Saturday, when, technical
pouts being made by the defence, it was
agreed to suspend further proceedings until
the pleadings could be amended.
The affidavits upon which the application
was based set forth thar there has been a
needless expense in the award of contracts,
viz: $60,000 OD the contract for the City
Hall, and S2500 in the contract for the new
Market. Messrs. Fry <fc Troy, architects and
builder?, make affidavit that they have ex?
amined and will build the City Hall for
$78,000, and the Market for $15,800, while
the coDtracts DOW awarded are, for the City
Hall $138,000, aDd for the Market $18,616.
-We are glad to see that the taxpayers of
Columbia have some prospect of bringing
their Municipal Ring squarely before the
Courts. Wheo shall proceedings begin
agaiDst the Scott-Parker Ring
The Sew Divorce Laws.
Representatives Hagood and Singleton
have introduced bills to regulate the grant?
ing of divorces. It is to be hoped that
the members will approach this ques?
tion with a sense ef its serious impor?
tance, especially to the colored people.
We would remind them, moreover, that the
State CoDStitution provides that divorces
from the bands of matrimony "shall not be
"(/ranted bul by the judgment of a court as
"shall be prescribed by law." Under this
provision the first section of the monstrous
divorce bill "to regulate the grantitjg of di?
vorces," already ooticed in these columns,
is clearly and unquestionably unconstitu?
tional
The Bowen Committee.
The consideration of the report of the
Bowen Committee, charging the State
officials with an -ver-issue of six million
dollars in State bonds, i3 positively to come
off to-day. The committee have made seri?
ons charges, from which they cannot recede.
We believe that they told the truth. Let
them stick to their story, produce the evi?
dence, aod earo lor themselves the gratitude
of the public. It is said that thc committee
have "aold out" to Governor Scott. The
events of to-day should show whether that
infamous report be true.
Thc Land Scrip.
We hope that Governor Scott will be able
to give a satisfactory reply to the resolution
of the Geoeral Assembly, ioquiriDg what
disposition has been made of the Agricultu?
ral Land Scrip. Uoless rumor ?3 wholly at
fault, there have been some ugly practices in
connection with this same land scrip, aDd
Governor Scott should hasten to clear him?
self of the unpleasant responsibility in this
matter, which public opinion has fastened
upon him.
A Wise Law.
Senator Dixon's bill for the protection of
useful auimals, and to prevent the killing of
small birds, which are unfit for food, de?
serves the favorable consideration of the
Legislature.
Sportsmen will, of course, give their Bap
port to a bill which proposes to pot a stop to
the destruction of Rame out ef season, and
the people, in general, will be the gainers by
the prohibition o? that indiscriminate slaugh?
tering which would end in the extinction of
the wild animals and birds which occupy a
prominent place in the South Carolina cui?
sine. It may seem to be an unwarrantable
interferer ce with "the rights of the citizen"'
to refuse any possessor of a shot-gun fhe
privilege of using it when and where he may
please, but the delights of the individual
must, for once, give way to the public good.
There is, also, an obvious reason for pro?
hibiting any person from hunting over the
land3 of another without permission. The
mere ownership of a dog and gun shouid
not give the owner the right to ride or walk,
through fences and over Heids, without re?
gard to the injury done the growing crops,
or to the meek oxen and bashful mule whom
poor marksmanship may put in peril.
The clause of the bill which prohibits the
killing of small birds such as blue-birds and
mocking-birds, whose ilesh is unfit for food,
is of great importance to thc agriculturist.
In France it was found that, as the small in?
sect-eating birds were destroyed, the yield of
grain to the acre decreased. There was no
check upon the ravages of worms and grubs,
and stringent laws, we believe, were adopt?
ed for the -encouragement of the propaga?
tion of 6mall birds, as well as to protect them
from the net and gun. We may be sure that
if these birds, which are unlit for food in
themselves but are the natural guardians and
protectors of fruits, plants and vegetables,
are allowed to be wantonly slain, the injury
to the farming and planting interests will be
serious in the extreme.
THE petition cf the Board of Trude of
Charleston against the passage of the Me?
tropolitan Police Bill was laid before the
State Senate on Friday, and ordered to be
printed. _ _
WHEN the Sinking Fund Commissioners
report to the General Assembly what prop?
erty and asset3 of the State they have sold,
we hope they will give the names of the
buyer?, as well os the price paid and the dis?
position made of the money. If valuable se?
curities have been sold for a song, the public
would like to know who are the lucky pur?
chasers._

THE LILY AND THE TOTEM, OR THE HUGUENOTS
IN FLORIDA. By Wiliam (Minore Simms.
Cnatlesion, S. C. Walker. Evans Cogs?
well. 1871.
Though les J known l han most of Mr.
Simms's works, this is one of the most charm?
inger them, and we are glad to eec a new edi?
tion of it so handsomely brought out at the
present time and In our own city, so long the
home of the lamented author. The "Lily and
"the Totem" belorgs to a class of writings gen?
erally known os the '-Romance of History,*'
but differs trom most works of the kind in ad
mlttiog fewer departures lrom the absolute
records on which it is based. In fact, the
narratives to which Mr. Simms has here given
such touches of his lively fancy as their bold?
ness of detai1, in certain parts, seemed to re?
quire, arc so intrinsically romantic that any
great exercise of the author's Inventive pow?
ers was entirely unnecessary. The old French
histories of the eaviy experiments of the Hu?
guenots in co'oolzing America, and especially
that of Coligny, in Florida, are full of start inj
tragedles, dark eventp, and picturesque and
exciting incidents, and read more like ro?
mances than like sober narraiives, as they
really are. With the added charms imparted
by Mr. Simms's facile pen, they are irresistibly
attractive. If the "Legend ol Guernach," the
"Adventures of Dr. Erlach," the "Conspiracy
"ol Le Genre." "Itacana," and the "Narrative
"ot Le Barbu," to say nothing of other parts of
the book, be not perused with absorbed atten?
tion by all classes of readers, our judgment is
great'y at fault.
Our great novelist, historian and biographer
has gone lrom among us and can give us no
more fresh works. We hope our people will
show their appreciation of the rich legacy he
has left us b" commencing the re-reading of
his published volumes w'tl the "Lily and the
"Totem."
