SOUTH .CABOLISIiV S1..4I to urn: UnVeiling the Monument lo tjie Confederate Dead in C'oluuibiu -Graud Military Display. Fifteen thousand people assembled at the capital of South Carolina on Tuesday last the 13th inst., to witness the unveiling of the monument to ' the Crihfederate dead, winch was erected by the ladies of t,he Monument Association. Hosts of people ilocked thither from all sections of the countrynnd the means of transportation were inadequate, to accommodate all who wished to attend. Military companies from all parts or South Carolina, together with the Charldtte, N. C. military, made a display which was grauder than any ever seen in the State. At 3 o'clock the procession formed and marched up Main street. The .city could not contain the column, for as it doubled itself and wheeled its platoons behind the hill above the post office, the rear was at the Stale House yard, " ' The sight of the old battle flags and of the survivors who bore some of them seem ed to move and stir the people more than anything. In many instances as the tat tered, torn, and defaced emblems were borne by drooping from their staffs, ladies and meh too, . turned aside to conceal the tears that would come. , At 4 p. m. Governor Simpson, with Gen John S. Preston, the orator of the . occa sion, on his arm, followed by the Rev. Ellison Capers and the Rev. William Mar tin, ascended the -steps leading to the stand and took Jhe seats provided for them. ' -After prayer by (Jen. Ellison Capers, Gov. Simpson came forward and in an eloquent address, introduced South Caro lina's most eloquent son, Gen. John S. Preston, as orator of the day. Gen Pres . ton's address was the grandest oration ever . hftened to in the Palmetto State. At the proper ; point in Gen. Proton's, oration a committee of gentlemen came toward, and - through -an avenue in the crowd led four young ladies to the monu ment, each one of whom was stationed at one of the corners and held one of the rones attached tb the -coyeriner. At a given signal from Mr. Walton, who super- j in tended the unveiling, the ropes were j drawn,, and, as if by magic, the covering i floated to the ground, and the monument stood forth in all its beauty. The monument in 40 feet in height-from the base to the top of the sarmountihg figure, and is composed of South Carolina granite and Italian marble. The form ol it is oblong; '12 feet in -length and 8 feet in width. The pedestal, as it maybe call ed, is composed of two steps, each 1G inches wide ("tread") by 8 inches high ; ("rise.") "The body of,-this pedestal is of layers of granite, grooved at. the joints, upon the top of which is heavily inouldcd cap bevelled Qri the top to receive the mar ble. The entire pedestal, including theJ steps, is what is technically known as.nne, hammered dressed," an expression used in contradistinction to "polished," and pre sents a general, indefinable but forcible impression ot completeness. The marble portion of the monument; is composed of two bases, and die block for inscription,' with a massive cap, . upon which rests a heavy plinth that supports the square shaft, which is three feet scpiare iU . i i r..t : l ... 4i... uii me case, uy iwu leet ma liicnes ul uici tap. Upon this is placed a heavy protec ting cap, richly moulded, and prepared On the upper surface to. receive the base of the statue. : l THE STATUE Itself is seven feet three inches high, and . is a lifeline representation of a Confeder ate infantry soldier, oh guard. He holds his musket with fixed bayonet at '"rest," his left hand grasping the stock, and his right resting on the muzzle. The dress ot the soldier is the ordinary uniform of the Confederate private at the beginning of the war, the military cloak lightly thrown over the shoulders, idenoting that ; the ideal ; is that of a picket "itj. for" a j night's, duty, Ilis canteen is. susp2uded by a. rope. and ' rests on the left hip,, and ' the ordinary belt with bayonet scabbard and cartridge-box is elapsed about his wais, according to regulations. On the 1 band of his hat, which is of ths familiar felt variety, turned up at one side, and on thetlasp of the belt, are the letters, C S. ; A., once so familliar. and now so proudly, sadly and tenderly remembered. The . , poise of the figure is easy and graceful. denoting much latent vigor. The most striking characteristic of the statue is the expression given the face, . every feature of which denotes the possession of full, manly strength. The eye has that look of . determination, that seems to say '-the cause I defend is a just one, and my soul is enlisted in it." It has been pronounced by competent critics to be a striking and faithful representation of nil that the word "soldier" can express. ' on thk' front of the shaft is a beautifully executed pal metto tree rising from the base and termi ..' Dating x the delicate and graceful foliage ' peculiar to that, plant. At each of the sfdes of the dye .block are finely executed emblems ofthc artillery and payal branch es of the service, the former composed of a broken gun carriage wheel, chain shot,' and sabfes, and a partially worn gun. The grouping dT these emblems is exceed ingly tasteful, Qu the opposite side are thet emblems representing the 'navy, which ' are composed of an anchor, a mortar, shell, a staHd of colors, and a coil :o rope, together with chain shot, the links of the chain being so faithfully executed that they deceive beholders into belief in their reality. As will be seen from, the above, the three branches infantry, artillery and navy are represented.

Writ of Habeas Corpus Refused ly Judge Hughes in the Mis cegenation Case. Richmond, Ya., May 14. In the U. S Circuit Court to-day a writ of habeas cor pus iu the miscegenation case of the negro Edmund Kinney and the white woman Mary Hall, now confined in the peniten tiary for violation of the statute prohibit ing the intermarriage of races, was refused by Judge Hughes, on the ground that the u. b. Gourts nave no mrisdiction over questions of marriage. : .. The opinion holds that the laws of mar riage are at the sovereign control and will of each state, unaffeoted by any provision or an v article of the constitution of the United States : that absolute and entire power over these laws is necessarily left. all over the world and in this union of States, to the government of local society ; that the law. under which the parties were convicted was with the . unrestrained legis lative power of V lrginia to enact it, and that it is not prohibited by any provision of the National Constitution, As to mak ing contracts the opinion holds that see tion 1,977 of the revised statutes which secures to all persons j within the United States the right in every State to make and enforce contracts, &c, can only refer to contracts lawful under the law ot totatcs wherein it is proposed to enforce them Admitting that marriage is a contract, to hold that the privilege of enforcing it ex tends only to lawful marriages, and that if a citizen of Virginia went to the District of Columbia or to the Territory ot Utah, and was there married in accordance with the local law, he could not return with his consort or consorts to Virginia and expect to. subordinate her laws of marriage .to the laws of the other.

The effect i3 to elevate in a party point of view the "man iu whom the Administra tion is personified, and that is John Slier man. MAKING ATROGRAMME FOR DEMOCRCTS. Special to the Philadelphia Telegraph, liej). The Democrats have practically agreed upon the following programme: To pass the legislative bill with the riders and send it to the President. Upon receiving the veto it is then proposed to dispossess the bill of its riders and pass them as an independent measure. There is no donbt whatever af the passage of the legislative, I executive and judical bill; but, instead of appropriating in gross in that portion af fecting the Department of Justice, the items will be allowed for" the use ot super visors and marshals. There is little pros pect of the passage of the army appropria tion bill.. MODERATE REPUBLICAN'S TROUBLED. Special to the Xew Yorh World.'. Inquiry among the Republican members of both Houses reveals that while the starl warts are rejoicing over their com plete capture of the President and this first step towards the revival of Grantism, -the better and more modern men of. the party are very much troubled over the veto. One of them aid to our correspon dent : "I can see very clearly the reason why I, as a legislator, should vote against the bill as an original proposition as nn, necessary and as cumulative lcgislation but I cannot possibly see how the Presi dent could veto the bill."' It is quite as noticible that a good many of the leading Republicans in the House were not among those who this afternoon applauded the reading of the message. It is undoubtedly true that Mr. Hayes told more than one person in the early part of last week that lie would sign the bill, and he only changed his mind at the solicitation of and under presure from the starlwarts. When the vote was taken on the motion of ah Iowa Republican to suspend the rules and pass the army appropriation bill, no Democrat voted in the auirmative, but most ot the Greenback people did. Profoundly regretted by conservative citizens. The veto message of President Hayes, returning to Congress without his approv al the act to prohibit military interferance at elections, will be profoundly regretted by all conservative citizens of whatever political faith. Could the Executive have obtained the dispossionate expression of the Republican merchants, manufacturers, bankers and business men ot Philadelphia, he would have received au almost unani mous appeal for the approval of the bill he has just vetoed under the inspiration or coercion of disturbing partisan leaders ; and there will be a deerree of unrest in business circles throughout the country to day that has not been felt for months past. The intelligent people- of all parties well understand that the second veto i3 a purely partisan production; that it -was an after thought dictated solely by presumed par tisan necessities, and that it wantonly un settles the harmony of the important de partments of the government to invoke a fresh flood tide of sectional strife. It is remembered that the Democrats in Con gress accepted the jut rebuke of the Exe cutive for attempted violent and coercive legislation, and thereby invited unity be tween the Executive and Legislative pow-; ers ; that the Democratic caucus framed the bill now vetoed in faithful accord with Ihe suggestions of the President ; that the Republican caucus divided largely as to the expediency of opposing the new meas ure, while only the most revolutionary as sailed it on its merits ; and with these vital facts it will be keenly remembered that the President publicly avowed his purpose to approve the bill after it had been dis cussed anp passed in the popular branch by a large majority. The bill that was yesterday vetoed by President Hayes, was commended to the confidedce of the coun try by the silence of the disarmed leaders ; by the confessions of party organs J'by the practical suggestions of the veto of the armj bill, and by the avowed approval of the President himself. , The South American Difficulty.
