In the discharge of this duty the board will carefully compare the returns with the bal lots, and registration books and lists, anil will investigate and report upon any charges of •fraud or malfeasance in office on the part of registrars, managers, or other officers connect ed with the registration or the receiving of bal lots ; and in cases where frauds are detected, or where, from the evidence submitted, the board are of opinion that from any cause the election should be set aside, their report, with evidence and facts, will be presented to the Major General commanding. 111.

Meeting of the South Carolina I.egisla ture. —The Columbia Phoenix, of Thursday last, says : Final arrangements were concluded yester day afternoon for the assembling of the Legis lature, in Columbia, on Tuesday, the 12th inst. Janney’s Hall has been secured by the Gover nor, and workmen are already employed in al ; tering'and adapting it to their purpose. The ! Senate will meet on the first floor, and the House of Representatives in the second story. I Suitable committee rooms have also been pro j vided. AU the necessary accommodations for i the members have been arranged. It will I doulrless be a very long session, as an unusual amount of work win have to l.e attended to. The Fourteenth Article— The Re publicans of Congress hold that the consti tutional amendment, upon which they swept the country in the State elections of 1866, known as article fourteen, has been duly ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the States represented ‘in the General Government. In each house, we believe, the subject is In the hands of the Judiciary Committee, with authority to report the ratification. The present Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, has not proclaimed the ratification, because he holds, with Presi dent Johnson, that the endorsement of three-fourths of all the States inside and outside of Congress is necessary. With Mr. Wade in Mr. Johnson’s place, how ever, we shall doubtless hat ea Secretary of Mr. Wade’s way of thinking on this amend ment, and consequently, under a Secretary of this sort, we shall have the right to look for his proclamation of the ratification of this fourteenth article, making it, to all in tents and purposes, part and parcel of the Constitution of the United States. But here is the difficulty: This amendment, among other things, provides that each State for itself shall regulate the law of the elective franchise, subject to this con dition ; that in proportion to the exclusion of any portion of the people from the suf frage on account of race, color, &c., the enumeration of the people for representa tion in Congress shall be correspondingly reduced. This knocks universal negro suf frage on the head, North and South ; and so the question is, if turned over into his hands, what will “Old Ben Wade” do witii tliis duly ratified amendment? He cannot shirk it without shirking a consti tutional duty, and lie cannot meet it with out knocking the bottom out of the recon structed Radical tub.—W. K Herald. The Remains of Gen. Semmes. —The body of General Paul J. Semmes, who fell gallantly fighting on the disastrous battle ground of Gettysburg, in 1863, was re-in terred in our city cemetery yesterday after noon. A very large procession followed the remains to the burying ground—his old comrades, the survivors of the Columbus Guards, and the members of the old City Light Guards, forming a prominent part of the funeral procession. A long line of car riages and a great many citizens on foot accompanied the remains to their final rest ing place. Os the appearance of General Semmes’ corpse when brought to this city, the Sun & Times says: “In the afternoon large numbers of la dies and gentlemen visited the church. For a few the metallic plate placed over the face of the illustrious dead was removed. Though buried nearly five years, the face could be easily recognized. The lineaments of the features, the moustache, and the gen eral outlines, as well as the expression, were very natural; there’s but little change. The body of the General, it is well remein beryd, was buried in a metallic coffin in the grounds surrounding a church in Martins burg, Va. Dr. Fogle, who went after the remains, found no difficulty in procuring or transmitting them. At the head of the grave was a simple head-board announcing the name, witii rank, and the date of death. The handsome silver plate now on the cof fin was procured by the Doctor in Balti more. Our dead in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania are all cared for.” [ CWwnzJws Enquirer, 26th. A Spirited Preacher. —The Judd di vorce case, in Hartford, continues to devel op many amusing features. Our readers will remember Sperry, Mr. Judd’s friend.— “ I spoke,” says Mrs. Judd, “ to Rev. Bur ton Sherry about my treatment, and he be gan singing a negro melody, beginning ‘Up Zion’s Hill,’ and concluded by imita ting a lame man at the depot.” Lest we should suppose from this that Sperry is a Spartan, and obdurate to the wishes and woes of beauty in general, we have the tes timony of a servant to the line of conduct quite contrary pursued by Sperry towards Susannah, on whom, indeed, the affections and attentions of both tlie elders seem to have converged. This behavior, indeed, so far from indicating extreme austerity, seems almost to transcend the trammels of that clerical decorum which is enforced with peculiar rigidity in New England:— “ When Mrs. Judd was away, I have seen Susannah and Sperry go into the kitchen and dance a ‘ Highland Fling.’ I have seen her get upon Sperry's back, and he would carry her round. He generally played ‘leap frog ’ and the ‘ nanny-goat.' He used to run after Susannah and butt her as a sheep would, you know, with his head, against her stomach. Susannali used to sing, ‘ Glory Hallelujah,’ and such songs.” The woes of Mrs. Judd arc indeed hard to be borne. If there is any truth in witnesses, her husband has outraged her in many ways, her husband’s housekeeper has sup planted her, her husband’s friends have snubbed her and danced with her servants a wild cancan beyond the most daring dreams of the Mabille. Illegal Voting.—There were over eight hundred votes polled in this county on affida vit of registration and citizenship. Three hun dred and twenty-six of these swore they regis tered in Dougherty, but their names do not ap pear on the books or lists—Major Cochran or dered the managers to receive them. Os the others, nt least one-half are believed to have committed perjury, ft is also known that many voted who were registered here, but who now reside in other counties, and it is estima ted that not less than six to eight hundred ille gal votes were polled, and of these the proba bility is that not more than one-tilth were cast for the Democratic ticket. Protest will be entered, and, if Gen. Meade is not foiled by Hurlbert, the milkin the cocoa nut will be accounted tor.—A/Jany News. Interesting Surgical Operation.—A sur cal operation was performed in Hartford, on Mr. Cowles, for the purpose of killing a can cerous affection of the cheek and nose, and consisted in removing almost the whole of the upper jaw on the right side of the lace. The surgeons preserved the palate plate perfect, and the patient is enabled to masticate his food, swallow and talk in a perfectly natural manner. It was found that the part of the bone affected was soft and spongy. Part of the cheek bone was preserved, and in cise Cowles recovers, as bis physicians have every reason to believe he will (though he is 67 years of age), the only trace of the operation remaining visible will be a depressed spot in the cheek. The operation lasted 35 minutes, the patient being under the influence of chlo roform all the time. He awoke perfectly un conscious that it was over. Georgia Legislature.—The Legislature, by Article X, Section I, of the new constitution, will assemble in the city of Atlanta. Article 111, Section 111, requires it, to meet ninety days after the adjournment of the convention. The convention adjourned on the 11th of March, and the Legislature will assemble on the 11th of June next—provided the returns show that the constitution was ratified in the recent elec tion.— Atlanta Intelligencer. To go to Liberia.— Some three hundred negroes from this city anil vicinity are to leave for Liberia this morning. They go via Macon, and embark on a sailing vessel at Charleston’. The American Colonization Society carries them to their destination. Judge Cook, pastor Os the colored Baptist Church, Philip Munro, whom the Radicals nominated lor Tax Collec tor, Dick Hudson and other prominent freed men are, the leaders. ~(-Wh»»6«$ A'nw, 2Sj/(.
