The bill restoring the Spring Elections for towni-hip, ward arid borough officers ha finally I assed both branches of th Legisla ture and has doubtless ere this been signed by the Governor, We understand that here, aftrr the election for these officers will take .lac on the third Tuesday in March, and that the election ofllcers chosen 'last October are to hold over until their succesors are elected at the first election under the new lur. As soon as we can see a copy of the law we will publish it. Ir will be recollected that duriog the ses sion of Congress previou to the last, Mr. Dawes of Massachusetts succeeded in get ting an auieiidment adopted by the House, appropriating $20,000 te the Sisters of Mercy in Charleston to enable them to re build their Orphan's Asylum, which had been destroyed during the bombardment of that city. When the question of concurring in Ihe amendment came up before the Senate. It was defeated by the saintly Harlau, Nye, and others of that stripe. Last week Mr. Dawes again offered the sanio amendment to the Deficiency bill, and sustained It in an eloquent speech. The House agreed to it by a unanimous rote, and tin Senate has since adopted it. Justice, though some times slow, is sure to be reached at last. This appropriation w not asked for as a matter of right, but was based on the peti tion to C ingress of more than five hundred ofEeera and privates of the Union arm' pro fessing various religious creed, many of whom had been kindly nursed arjd cared for by these same Sisters of Charity when they were prot rated by sickling or rufTaring from their wounds. With a commendable fueling of gratitude, they t-imply siked Con gress to donate the money, in order that these self-scriBc'iDg women might be again ecabled to engage in the holy work of char ity and benevolence to the homeless and friendless orphans of Charleston, without regard to color or creed. Who will say that the bounty was not bestowed for a gen erous aud noble purpose 7 After the Amnesty bill had pasted the lower branch of Congress by such an over whelming majirity, it was confidently be lieved that it would not eneountbr any seri- us opposition in the Senate. This illusion was rudely dispelled by the action of a cau rns of the Radical members of the Senate, M'hich was held lat Monday to consider what course should be taken n the subject. Senators Robertson and Sawyer, of South Carolina. l lckingham, Shu-z, Logan, Lwis, Sherman, and 'Wilnon, 'advocated immediate and favorable action on the Huse bill, while Moiton, Edmunds, Chan tiler, and Scott opposed it an inexpedient, tin wise and uncalled for. That apostle of Radical hate. Chandler, stated in the caucus that Grant was opposed to it, and the Am ne.tj bill was laid on the table by a vote of 20 to 10. several Senators refusing to vjUj. This effort at pta-re and good will is theiefire defeated for the present. We were net at all surprisbd at John Scott's opposition to the measure. His course in the Senate, whenever a question has come before it affecting the people of the Southern f?tatfs, shows him to be a bitter and malig nant partisan, and without any of the ini'.k f human kindne.se in his veins. The ex planation i simple. lie was once a radical Democrat, but uow is the most radical of 71a iicaN, and is only following in the footsteps of a Christiau who becomes a Turk and labors hard to prove the sincerity of his belief in the new doctrine La has embraced, by surpassing its most intolerant bigots in the farveiicy of his z?al and the constancy of his devotion.

Two weeks ago to night a most notable political farce was played in the city of Washington. The Incus in quo was the bal cony of the National Hotel, and the leading performers were Oliver P. Morton, a Radi cal U. S. Senator from Indiana, U. S Grant, of San Domingo fame, Schuyler Colfax, Jno. V. Forney, and Joha C. P. Shanks, a Rad ical member of Congress, who is said to have been the original owner of "Shank's mare." The ostensible object in view was a serenade to Morton under the auspices of the Indi ana clerks employed in the diff.-rent depart ments at the seat of government. The real purpose, however, anil which was well un derstood by the actors, was to enable Mor ton, in the speech he was to deliver, to re nominate Grant for the Presidency. After a brass band had played an enlivening air the redoubtable John C. P. Shanks, in a spread eagle address, introduced Morton to the crowd, all of whom found ample room to stand on the avenue immediately in front of the hotel. Although Morton is a man of more thau ordinary ability, his career in the Senate has shown him to be as unscrupu lous and thorough-paced a demagogue as ever sat in that body. In that respect Chandler from Michigan, of "blood letting" infamy, is a fool when compared to him, and even Jim Nye, of Nevada, a first cousin of the immortal Bill Nye, who "went fjr that heathen Chinee,' pales his ineffectual fires before the admitted pre-eminence of Morton. He is Grant's leader in the Senate, and does all tho dirty work assigned to him with promptitude and boldness. In hi speech on the occasion referred to, after showering on Grant and his administration a vast deal of praise, as fulsome as it was false, he firm ally nominated him as theTiadical candidate for President in 1872, Grant at the time sit ting by the side of his Senatorial henchman. It was iudeed a humiliating spectacle, but at the same time perfectly in harmony "with the ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain" of the presret incumbent of the White House. What former President, by a pre arranged plan, has ever stooped so low ! to conquer ? Not one. They would have scorned to do it. Their own sense of pro priety, as well as a decent respect for the dignity of their high cf5ee, would have n stinctively prevented them from thus dishon oring and trailing it in the dirt. Morton in bis speech, not content with pronouncing a high sounding eulogium on Grant, interi spersed with iiis UEual unblushing falsehoods against the Democratic party, had the bra zan impudence to lay down a platform for the Democratic candidate to stand upon during the next Presidential campaign, lie asserted that if that party elected its candi- j date it would repudiate the public debt, refuse to p9y their pensions to the widows and soldiers of the late civil war. and last, though cot least, would take the right of suffrage away from the negroes. Where did this arrogant demagogue pet his author- i ity for making these sweeping and unfound ed accusations ? Ho well knew they wore barely false when bis slanderous tongue gave them utterance. Morton expects t:i Focco9d Mr. Fish as Secretary of State, as booh as the President gives the S ecretary to understand that hia renignation would be acceptable, aud therfore Morton, in order to make his calling and election sure, feels bound to con ciliate Grant by Ijing abuse upon tho Democratic party. It is thus that he hopes that "thrift may follow fawning." When a Democratic President, on the 4th of March, 1S73, relieves Grant from any farther oc cupancy of the White House, none of the dreadful things predicted by this false prophet from Indiana v7il! come to pass, or even attempted to be brought about. At the very commencement of reconstruct ing the Southern States this same man, 'Morton.) who was then Governor of Indi ana, was as bitter and outspoken an oppo nent of negro suffrage as anv Mississippi or South Carolina planter. He opposed and denounced it both in his message to the Legislature of his own State as well as on the stump. Any vulgar slanders, therefore, which this scurvy politician may see fit now or hereafter, to utter against the future action of the Democratic party will fall per fectly harmless they will be rox el preterea nihil. South Carolina, If there is a State in this free and glori. cus republic more hopelessly cursed than another with a set of ignorant, reckleFs and corrupt legislators, it is South Carolina. The negroes in the State outnumber the white population, and the consequence is that more than firo thirds of the members of the Legis lature, which has but recently adj urnod, belonged to the former class. Not being the owners of any real estate, and therefore not required to contribute anything to the sup port of the State government, a wide and inviting field for legislative robbery and op pression was spread out before them. Igno rance and stupidity enact the moet Infamous tax laws and the intelligent white owner of the soil is compelled to bear the heavy bur den. No other State reels and staggers un der the crushing weight of such enormous tax levies as South Carolina. It is as shame, less at it is unparalleled. Under negro rule in that State taxation virtually amounts to a confiscation of the lands of the white popu lation, who are practically unrepresented in the Legislative. During the last, as well as the previous session of that body, millions of State bonds were authorized to be issued by Scott, the carpet-bag Governor from Ohio, for the purpose of forciag the State into a syBtem of wild and speculative public improvements. A large amount of these bonds have been negotiated, and are now held by capitalists in New 1'ork. Alarmed at the inevitable bankruptcy that is sure to follow, the members of the Chamber of Com merce in Charleston have held a meeting and olemnly warned the holders of these bonds that, come what may, the bona Jide tax pay ers cf tb.9 State are resolred never to pny ( them. In a few weeks a State convention will be held at Columbia for the purpose of taking definite action in refereuce to this in sufferable grievance. Even the negroes in the rural districts are becoming rebellious against the notorious corruptions of their black brethren in the Legislature, and are holding meetings in various parts of the State, pledging themselves hereafter to vote far honest and competent vhite men to make the laws rather thau cast their ballots for ignorant and corrupt men of their own color. This is a hopeful pign. and may yet rescue the State frtm the slrrgh of bankruptcy and utter ruin with which it is row threaten ed.

S far as it has been tried at all, the result has been the most astonishing success iu history, in allaying passion and ceroeat ing peice. The partial amnesty and imper fect autonomy hitherto given to these Btates, since the war, have dona wonders in pre venting the universal disorder which so many expected from the social revolution wrought there so recently. These facts en courage the belief that if the Constitution were at once applied to the Siuthern States, in all its extent, putting their wh )le people precisely on an equality before the laws with all their fellow citizens, order and peace would speedily be re-established throughout the land. But. in any case, this is all we can lawfully do for those States; and the attempt to force these blessings, upon them by military violence is not only useless itself, but is a declaration that in the opinion of Congress popular government is a failure.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has decided (Judge Sharswood delivering the opinion) that a purchaser at Sheriff's sale is not bound to look beyond the judgment docket to ascer tain whether the entries thereon are made by authority, and that where there is a de fective entry of a jadgment, or an unauthor ized entry of a fraction, the prothonotary is liable for damages to the party injured. Hence, where the prothonotary, without the authority of the court, entered on docket against a jadgment, "satisfied, Ji fa," it was held that the entry was perfectly regular and conclusive as to third persons to whom the Judgment itself regularly docketed was conclusive notice, and that it wa6 not neces sary to search further and ascertain whether there was any record of an order of the court directing such satisfaction.

Congress lias a momentous question to settle when it shail have disposed of the Ku K'.ux Klan, the Senators unfriendly to San Domingo, and ether troublesome matters. We alluda to the difficulty of determining the status of the great naval historica', historical-patriotic, tragical, comical, tragical comical, or otherwise, oil painting, which was to have beeu finished on the 2J ultimo, by Mr. Wm. 11. Powell, for the use and be hoof of the United States. Vinnie Ream', statue we know where that is, and Vinnie knows where the money is ; but this time honoredjpiece of canvas is wrapped, rolled up, as it were, in the dominD of doubt. Six years ago, while war was yet waging, and the pulse of patriotism was at its highest heat. Congress voted to commission this painter, Powell, to build a picture for $25, 000, which should commemorate, in proper colors and dimensions, the daring deed of the American navy ; something which thonld record in oil the bravery of cur tars on the water. The money, which some may think exorbitant, though Powell probably doesn't, waa paid J2.0C0 down. $4,000 annually for Lur years, and $7,000 on the completion of the picture. No provision seems to have been made fcr the cveut of Powell' dying of eld age beforo his task should bo fulfilled. Having got hi3 contract duly signed, Pow ell went to work, r.nd the price of paints and 'oils immediately rose, in consequence of tho "corner" in the mnrkel consequent upon his orders. Years rolled on, the navy was all sold out at 00 per cent, diecount, the good old admiral died, secretaries of the navy camo and went, the war-scarred heroes of Fort Monroe aud New Orleani forgot their earlier b.utles in the new warfare be tween the KtsfJ and line, and still Powell plastered at his canvas, never omitting to call at the sub-treasury for his yearly sti pend. In other words, be would draw a ship and then draw his allowance. The latest authentic advices received from Mr. Powell's enterprise were dated the 21st of February, 1870, when John A. Dix. Wil liam II. Aspinwall, and ether distinguished New Yorkers, who l ad been detailed to re connoitcr. reported the "drawing all done," (that is of ships, not of pay,) and tho "col ors well laid on" requiring "only the re touching of light and shade to finish it." They therefjre recommended the immediate payment of another $4,000. in order that Powell might retouch tne light and shade with a light heart and a constant conscious ness of national appreciation. It must have been an uocomcaonly bad year for light and shade in the city of New York, where the work has been ging on. for the Committee on the Library, to whom a resolution of ir.quiry concerning this pic ture was recently referred, report nothing as to the whereabouts of this picture or the artist, notwithstanding the five years allow ed him to complete his work expired fix weeks ago. The questions are. where is Powell, and where is his picture? Have his ships all turned into Fying Dutchmen and vanished from the face of the deep that is, from Powell's canvas? Has Powell, on "re touching" his water view with the "light and shade" aforesaid, made it so natural that he has tumbled in'.o it and been drown ed 1 Has the rivalry between the line and staff of the navy for the honor of 1-eing com memorated by Powell wax-d so fierce that the canvas has been rent in fragments in tho struggle for possession, thus d;iverir!g the timbers and blasting the ryes of every bold mariner in the fleet? lias Powell, having collected his $18,000 of the Govern ment, carried Tn his regular j b business besides, and finding somebedy's $10,000 a stronger inducement than the $7,000 re maining due from the Government ? If so. how- much, ret, has the Government made be the transaction? If not, and if Powell has refused to d'-liver his canvas without an additional appropriation, (which ssprns most likely.) what proportion of the whole area of canvas will the Government be entitled to cut off and appropriate to its own uses, in indemnification for its $18,000 paid, and interest thereon ? This, though a marine affair, is not an international one. and can not probably come before the Joint High Commission for arbitration. Some investi gation should be made at rnce, and letters of marque ultimately ismed, whereby the Government may reprise, condemn, and take possession of those fugacious " painted ships Upon h painted ocan."
