DRESS TRIMMINGS.
The scarcity of trimmings, (the Lyon* and
Paris manufactories l>eing all closed) compel*
the use of materials for this purpose, and in
reality, it is a bltlMflg, for there is nothing
upon’ which mone^is so easily wasted, as
flmsy, tawdry gimpl- fringes, and yamnente-
r e*. In the absence of these, folds, plaitings
and nichings gL th« material* velvet, gro*
grain, satin, anT this season, moire antique,
are ail brought into requisition, and aid lace,
which ni^tffsa 11 y used than any one
^protfuce the most charming effects,
iployment of uioire antique as a triin-
qnite n»w; it is used principally
blKCk silk, l^he same way that gras
gw in ha3 been used wj^on velvet, and is found
very effective. Velvet, with folds orruchings
of the material, are*- ysed more than ever to
gether, with sipgle, or what are known as
“ wilt” pkatinas, which have largely taken
the pjpcc of. ruffles upon linen, pique and cam
bric suits.
A new muslin trimming called “Louise
Kilting” is imported for the first time this
season, and i9 said to come from Brussels,
though it is just as likely to have been made
in New Jersey. It consists of fine book
muslin edged with patent vallenciennes lace
on both sides, and laid in flat and regular
single plaits. It is very useful to line the
edges of silk and Irish poplin dresses, and
can be utilized for trimming old silk skirts
and in various ways.
FASHIONABLE MATERIALS.
A new and most useful material consists of
an all-wool cashmere in Scotch checks. In
the larger plaids it is used mainly for wrap
pers and children’s suits and drepcs, but in
the smaller checks it makes very handsome
and durable costumes.
A striking feature of the spring styles is
the sul)9titution of really good and useful
materials for the more showy and expensive
fabrics which have vulgarly been considered
essential to an elegant and fashionable ap-
l>earancc. The idea that a lady must always
be dressed up in a ten dollar silk, is worthy
of shoddy itself. What would 31 art ha
Washington have said to it, who received
guests in gray linscy and checked apron, if
that happened to be the dress she was wear
ing at the time ?
It will probably never be necessary for us
to go back to the simplicity of the days of
the revolution, but it is really a comfort to
get out of the excessively fine atmosphere of
silks and satins for awhile, and rest in the
pleasant shadow of more useful and inexpen
sive fabrics.
Fine woolen and goat’s hair materials, for
instance, are in great variety, and the Jap
anese silks and poplins (of English make)
most attractive, from their beauty, excellent
quality and moderate price. A very rare
material, only found in one house, (that of
Arnold Constable,) is known as Carmelite
serge; it is all wool, sixty cents per yard,
soft, and only made in one color, a subdued
brown or “ nunc ” color. It resists rain like
water-proof, never wears out, does not muss
or wrinkle, and looks as well at the last as at
the first. The coarse twill is considered more
distinguished than the fine twill, and is pre
cisely the same fabric as that worn by the
Carmelite nuns. For a traveling suit at tills
season, for a long journey, a suit for spring and
fall, or for any purpose where service com
bined with lady-like appearance is required
the Carmelite serge would be most desirable
Some ladies of very high prxtition have bought
suits of it this spring, but shoddy turns up its
nose at it.
The old-fashioned de Itege in all wool
other excellent material, and particularly
adapted to elderly ladies. It can l»e pur
chased in brown, black, or gray, at fifty-live
( cuts per yard, and makes up into matronly
suits with the Mctternieh cape, or more youth
fully into skirts, with polonaise, trimmed
with folds of the material, piped with thick
silk.
Irish poplin appears in new colors. “ Eng
lish vkdet,” a lovely shade of blue; “ Allig.
tor,” a purplish butternut color; a new so
spring green, with a blue tint (the yellow
green is gone out) ; and a brownish yellow,
“French mustard” color.
For black silk suits, the new American
gro* grain, at two dollars per yard, Is super-
ceding all other styles. It is not a showy silk,
but it is heavy anil perfectly pure, not a fibre
of any other material entering into an}’ part
of its composition. It w r as manufactured for
the purpose of providing a durable sill; at a
nuslerate price; and the tests to which it bn:
Ijeen subjected have proved satisfactory in
every respect. At first, it seems to catch
lust easily; but this goes off, and the drj
All ruffles end flounce are made- with ns
little fullness as possible, and are simply
hemmed, or scalloped and bound. Flat pleat-
ings are much used instead of ruffles. Pip
ings of a different shade, and of a richer ma
terial, as 9atin upon silk, and silk upon pop
lin, are employed to edge crescent folos,
mtnle of the same materialwthe dress.
LADIES READY MADE CLOTHING.
The prediction that The time would come
when it would be as rare for women to make
the clothing for the family as it is now for
them to spin, and weave the cloth, is rapidly
being fulfilled. Ten years ago there were
only two important ladies furnishing houses
in New York city, and the business of these
was wholly confined to the costly bridal and
other outfits of a few wealthy persons.
To-day the ladies and clrildren’s furnish
ing houses are as numerous as the dry goods
and thread and needle stores—in fact,’one of
either hardly exists without the other in any
part of New York city. The style and work
manship of the garments round at these es
tablishments vary, of coutse, but are gener
ally very indifferent. They have improyed,
however, very much within the past year, and
some houses now fumisfc under-clothing of
all kifflls, well cut neatly made, at the
bare retail cost df mifterials and labor. Fac
tory made under-clothing is turned out in
such immense quantities that it is a marvel
where it ail goes to; it is ill cot and wretched
ly made, anu therefore cannot be called cheap
even at the low prices at w hich it is sold, but

There is an all-silk imitation of China ernpc
which is almost lietter than the real thing,
and is only the quarter of the price. It is
really a beautiful material, wide, only two
dollars per yard, and is admirably nchipted
for the overdress and French ca*aqw*f, for
which Canton crape has been lately used by’
those who could afford to pay the price—ten
dollars per yard.
It would take a column to merely catalogue
all the seasonable materials displayed in the
large houses, but I must just mention the fine
twilled silk serges, the 4-cne, pongees, which
which form a wonderful combination with a
rich brown, the frosted Japanese silks, v
a reversible side in the darker shade of the
same color, the white washing satincs, for
costumes, and dresses to be trimmed with
black velvet, and bands of embroidery’, and
lastly, the new linens, the “Yokohamas,”
whicli are mit of any shade of buff, but
brown, and undressed, and admirably well
adapted for country wear.
There is mi “ Initiate ” this season, thou]
there are percales in robe patterns, and fine
buff cambrics advertised as batiste. There are
fine lawns and organdies, however, and a very
pretty crep tisMIe, called gage dcchine, which,
together with the white muslins, plain and
hair striped, the grenadines, and the numer
ous family of bareges and lenos, afford suffi
cient opportunity for an extensive summer
wardrobe.
SPRING DRESS-MAKING AT HOME.
There is no difference in the cut of the
skirts, except that the most fashionable dress
makers alh>w walking skirts to trail a few
inches at the back, unless as is often the case,
strict orders are given to the contraiy
Trained skirts, on the contrary’, arc not so
exaggerated in length, and when made of
rich materials arc perfectly plain.
The panier has gone out entirely; upper
skirts, or the skirt of the polonaise, which in
suits and costumes takes the place of the up
per skirts, are looped up at the sides and
gathered full at the back, a square bow with
jx.ndent loops, or a postillion basque, taking
the place of the sash.
A most elegant bridal dress of Dncheaae
(brocade) satin was made recently with per
fectly plain trained skirt, plain, high basque
body, and long, close-cut coat sleeves. The
only trimming allowed consisted of deep ruf
tics of Dueheue placed on the sleeves, and
fall below the elbow, lace trimming upon the
square basque at the back, and narrow lace
ruches at the neck and wrists.
D4iuble pipings are used upon rich dresses
when there is little or no trimming. A very
fashionable method of trimming poplin suits,
is with broad bands of velvet edged on either
side with single pleatings of the poplin
bound with the velvet Three bands of vel
vet bordered aliove and below in this way
makes a very rich and sufficiently deep trim
ming for a walking skirt with polonaise.
Another very fashionable method
adapted to lighter materials, twilled silk, silk
serges, frosted Japanese poplins and the like.
The trimming is composed of two folds, one
of the material, one of the silk, same color,
several shades darker. Above this is a nar
row upright ruffle of the material, bound
with the silk. This trimming may be ar
ranged to form a series upon the skirt, and
repeated as a simple border upon the polo
naise.
Folds are never placed close to the edge,
but always above it
Bodies open V shape are more fashionable
than the square cut, at least for ordinary
weary they are found very convenient, as
they need only an inside ruffle of lace to
complete them and afford full opportunity for
the display of the pendant locket, which
seems to have taken the place of the breast
pin. In fact, many ladies have had all the
latter articles of jewelry remounted to be
worn as pendants.
Few skirts are now lined throughout, and
these are not of silks, poplin or any substan
tial material. Grenadines and silk tissues
are the only materials that require lined
skirts, and then either old silk is used, match
ing in color, or plaimforelaid. Stiff facing
is no longer used for trained skirts, as it cuts
the fabric, an inner lining is substituted, and
trained under-skirts employed nearly the
length of the dress, to assist in keeping it
spread out to its full length.
Under-skirts and jackets are still used in
costumes, but are considered paseee for suits,
the polonaise, as was announced some months
ago, is the fashionable adjunct of the season
to the walking skirt.
Hoops are not worn at all, or so very small
that they are not perceptible. Hair-cloth
skirts have liccn introduced for summer wear,
with a small bustle formed at the back of
puffings, drawn in with hair-cords. Bows
are beginning to take the place of buttons
upon jackets, and high bodies.
French waists, always the neatest and sim
plest form of high body, are used for lawn
and muslin dresses.
Black grenadine suits promise to be very
fashionable for summer wear, but are no
longer trimmed in colors. The most ap
proved method of trimming is with scant
ruffles of the material bound with the same,
or stitched and edged with black guipure lace.
As it is necessary to wear black silks, un
der black grenadine, a great many ladies
simply flounce the grenadine upon an old
black silk skirt.
it must find many’ purchasers, pr it would not
continue in demand. The “high class” fur
nishing stores ignore now all machine-made
articles, and recommend “English” hand-
tewing and “English” hand-embroidery, as
the fittest methods for the preparation
of fine trossbaus. Fine hand-sewing
brings a much higher price than ma
chine-sewing, while hand-embroidery and
tucking done in the material, are so c<>slly as
to render it more convenient to io^gnrt gar
ments ornamented in this way than to have
them done here. Fine linen drawers exquis
itely embroidered upon the material, the
workmanship durable, and linen itself can be
purchased of European make for $5 per pair,
which would cost $10 if the garments were
home-made. There is a point worth notin;
alxiut the French and English drawers and
underskirts, and that is that the bands around
the waist fonn drawing cases, for tape-strings
which can lie loosened or drawn in at pleas
ure, thus saving an infinitude of trouble in
enlarging buttoned bands.
Fine tucking and embroidery wrought into
the material ilself is the most fashionable
tliod of ornamenting chemises, night
gowns and ladies’ drawers, and is to be com
mended, because it is durable as well as beau
tiful, but it is painful to think how many
beautiful eyes have been actually wrought
into the fabrics they have assisted to adorn.
Many ladies include in their orders for a
1rou**eau a dozen fine linen cambric pillow
cases, with initial or monogram embroidered
in the centre. The letters arc very large,
and cost to embroider $10 the pair for a sim
ple initial, a monogram which requires a
special design, costs f9.
Between the factory clothing, and the
great bouses, there is a class of medium
furnishing establishments whicli do their
own manufacturing, are much better patterns
and designs, cut with more precision and ex
actness than the lower grades, and execute a
much higher class of workmanship. Less
tawdry trimming is used for this class of ar
ticles. and the cloth or material used is much
better. The prices commence at about a dol
lar and a half for chemises, two dollars for
night gowns, and one dollar per x>*ir for
drawers. Tucked walking skirts commence
at seventy-five cents each, and very fair flan
nel skirts, finished for wearing, at one dollar
and fifty cents.
Children’s clothing of every description
can be obtained in all styles and at almost all
prices. Nice little drawers for babies a year
old, finished with bands, button-holes and
trimming, can be purchased for seventy-five
cents per pair and upwards, and all other
articles of clothing, including night drawers,
small flannel drawers, and knitted under
skirts at very reasonable rates.

OUR SPECIAL DELUGE OF INFORMATION—
WIIAT THE CONVENTION DID—A FINE
B41DY—WHAT THESE GATHERINGS DO—TIIE
LADIES—SIMMS AND IIIS COURT—OTHER
MATTERS.
Savannah, Ga , March 30,1871.
Editor Constitution: The General Ticket
Agents’ Convention met yesterday afternoon
at 4 o’clock, in St. Andrew’s Hall. It was
called to order by President A. A. Barnes,
and the names of delegates entered.
Inclosed, I send you the list of those re
porting at the organizatmn.
Fort he ensuing year, officers were elected
as follows, to-wit:
President—George A. Dead man, of Phila
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Bail-
road.
Vice-President—E. R. Dorsey, of Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad.
Executive Committee—W. P. Johnson, oi
Illinois Central.
On motion, Philadelphia was selected as
the place for the next convention to be held
in October.
Their conventions are held twice in each
year, and oftener if the President call
them together.
They then determined that the excursion
party would leave Savannah this evening and
go to Jacksonville on the St. Johns River,
where the party are invited to receive the
hospitalities of the eitv; thence to Green
Cove Springs up the river, and then turn
homeward.
The Convention then went into secret con
clave about passenger rates; and while they
are discussing that question, I will remark
that this is an unusually large convention,
over sixty’ roads being represented ; that it is
composed chiefly' of comparatively young
men, anil as fine-looking, intelligent’body of
business-looking men as I ever saw'.
They remind one of a “mobilized army,”
rid of all its sick and camp followers, and
prepared for earnest action. And I will fur
ther remark, that they represent the most
F owerful profession in this immense country’.
had almost said “ organization,” but they
are scarcely organized yet as a moneyed mo
nopoly and political power; for the interest
of each road is distinct; but when I attempt
to grasp the vast possibilities of the future of
this great and complicated railroad power, I
feel as Canute, the Dane, must have felt when
he attempted to quell the swelling billow.
Even now, by’ their combinations, they build
up cities with unexampled rapidity, and, at
one wave of their wand, cause them to decay.
So they did poor Buffalo, and such, in some
degree’ is the tendency of their policy’ to
wards Savannah. A bale of cotton may be
bought one cent cheaper per pound in Eufau-
la than in Savannah, and shipped to New’
York via Savannah for ten cents less per bale.
•This is strange, but it is only one of a num
ber of instances to prove the correctness of
my view, and that Savsumah may soon be
come a mere way station. It is true she is
the second city in cotton exports in the Uni
ted States; but, for the reason I mention, it
is of no material benefit to her as a cotton
mart.
The press is the twin brother of this power,
and can correct the evils that may grow out
of it. It occurs to me that it would-be well
for the Savannah press to give thte matter
their serious attention, under the advice of its
leading merchants.
But while I am thus theorizing, the Con
vention is regulating rates, ascertaing what
should be charged and the amount due to each
road, pro rata, for tlirough passage aud freight
This saves a vast deal of correspondence and
confusion, and perhaps results, as each year
increases the railroads and the commerce, in
lessening the rates.
Besides these immediate objects of such
conventions, there is another result of them
of vast importance at this juncture of our
history ; they bring together men of thought
and business qualities from all parts of the
country in the interest of commerce; and, as
has been remarked by the historian, Robert
son, commerce tends to wear off these preju
dices which maintain distinction and animos
ity amongst nations. It softens and polishes
the manners of men. It unites them by one
of the strongest of all ties, the desire of
supplying natural wants. It disposes them
to peace by establishing in every State, an
order of men bound by their interests to be
the guardians of public tranquility.
But it rains—the maidens—not only sisters
and daughters of delegates, as 1 mentioned
in a previous letter, but beautiful friends
from the West, North anti Northwest, (and
especially from Memphis) sigh within doors
for a full view of the surroundings of this
city, lovely in fact and lovely in its classic
history and romance; but they are almost
fain to content them with Wilson’s stereo
scopic views of it, in the Pulaski House par
lors.
The Davenport Brothers are here, mysti
fying the natives of this seaboard city.
I have not been able to ascertain w hat has
become of Sims (col.) and his court He and
it seem to have disappeared from public ob
servation.
I met Mr. Green, of the Leisuiring Print
ing House, of Philadelphia. He and Mr.
Vernon, the editor of the Official Railroad
Guide, make a good thing out of the Rail
road patronage.
The Savannah police look very handsome
in their uniforms.
My next letter will probably be from 8t
John’s river, and will probably have in it less
of railroad economy and theory, and more of
river scenery and fancy. Sidney.

Danger Ahead.—A single spark may
kindle a flame that w’ill consume a city, and
small ailments neglected, may end in fatal
disorders. Bearing this fact in mind, let the
first, symptoms of debility or nervous
prostration he met promptly with invigorat
ing treatment Foremost among the rege
table tonics of the age stands Hostetler’s
Stomach Bitters, and whenever the vital
powers seem to languish, or thi*re is any rea
son to suspect that the animal functions
essential to the sustenation and purification
of the bodv are imperfectly performed, this
invaluable invigorant and antiseptic should
at once be restored to. Indigestion always
produces weakness of the bodily powers.
Sometimes it happens that the appetite de
mands more food than the stomach can di
gest ; though not more, perhaps, than is re
quired to keep up the full strength of the
frame. The object under such circumstances,
is to increase the digestive capacity of the
assimilating organ, so as to make it equal to
the duty imposed upon it by the appetite, and
capable of supplying the building material of
the system as fast as it is required. This ob
ject is fully accomplished by the use of the
Bitters. They tone aud gently stimulate the
cellular membrane which secretes the gastric
juice, and the result is that the solvent is
mingled with the food in suAidant quantity
to convert all its nourishing particles into
pure and wholesome element. If, on the
other hand, there is a deficiency of appetite,
without any corresponding deficiency of di
gestive power, the effect of the tonic is to
stimulate a desire for food. In nineteen
cases out of twenty, headache, nausea, nerv
ousness, fainting-fits, spasms, and, indeed,
most of the casual aches and pains to which
humanity is subject, proceed primarily from
indigestion complicated with biliousness;
and for both these- complaints Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters are recommended as a
speedy and certain remedy.

Carolina Senatorship. There will be another
meeting Friday.
The following, prepared by a prominent
Northern Republican, and approved by many
Southern Representatives, will be proposed
as a substitute for the Ku-Klux bill:
1. Any State officer, whose duty it is
to afford equal protection to all citizens, de
clining or neglecting to do so, shall be lia
ble in damages. 2. Such officer, also, shall
be criminally liable. 3. Persons abetting or
advising such delinquency ou the part of any
State officer, shall be liable to civil aud crimi
nal prosecution in the Federal Courts. 4.
Marshals serving writs in accordance with
this act may call a posse comitatus, if resistance
be too strong. The President may enforce
the writ by army or #avy.
In the Semite, bills were introduced to in
corporate Red River Raft Company, and
800, and two Democratic Congressmen, being
again of one. Legislature very close. Several
Democratic gains.
New Haven, April 3.—In New Haven,
Jewell, Republican, for Governor, gaines 391
on the vote of last year. Twenty-one towns
in New Haven comity show a gain of 831 for
Jewell over last year. Jewell is probably
elected.
Kendrick, Democrat, for Congress, from
the Second District, is probably' elected by a
small majority.
Hartford* April 3.—Strong, Republican,
is elected to Congress from the First District.
London, March 3.—A dispatch from Ver
sailles to-day’ says Marshal MaeMahon has
been appointed Commander-in-Chicf of the
French army.
A dispatch from Paris this forenoon says the
Commune has issued a proclamation couched
in the following language: Attacked by the
Versailles government, we have a mission to
protect the city, and call for the aid of the
citizens.
There was a continual movifinent of the
Communal forces during the night, and a dis
tant cannonade is audible this morning.
Rappel was beaten everywhere throughout
the city.
A dispatch from Brussels, of the 3d, says
the second sitting of the Peace Conference
will be held to-day.
Paris, March *2.—A serious engagement
took place this morning between the govern
ment troops anti the Communists. About
2,000 National Guards marched on Cour-
beovie and were met by the gens d’armes and
gardes forreetiers. The Captain of the latter
galloped up waving his cap, intending to ad
dress the Communists, when a zouave with
that body' shot him dead. A general action
followed.
The gens d’armes took five prisoners, one
70 years of age*, who were shot immediately.
The guns of fort Valerian swept the road and
the Communists lied. Twenty-live insur
gents were killed and many wounded. The
engagement was over at one o’clock. The
National Guards* still hold Porte Maellol.
Battalions of artillery are hurrying up. The
rappel is beating and the ramparts are being
manned. The greatest excitement prevails.
Washington, April 3.—The confiscation
case decided to-day came from Michigan.
The court !»eld*t.luit the confiscation act of
1862 is valid and constitutional, and that it
was competent for Congress to prescribe a
procedure against the property of the per
son offending, and not against the person.
Justice Davis dissented on technical
grounds, but concurred in the view of the
court as to constitutionality of the ac t.
Justices Field and Clifford dissented en
tirely.
The latest figuring elects Jewell and three
members of Congress, the Republicans gain
the Governor. Congressional delegation same
as last session.
Returns from municiple elections in Ohio
Is indefinite, and show, so far, about equal
gains and 1
Hartford, April 3.—Two towns in Hart
ford county give Jewell, Republican, for
Governor, 307 majority. Tlic county' went
Democratic last year.
The Times’ special from New Haven
Conn., 3d, says that enough returns liav<
been received here to ensure tlic election of
Jewell beyond question, also the return of
Kellogg to Congress from the Second Dis
trict. The Republican gain in this city
431 over last year.
Norwich, April 3.—Starkweather, Repub
lican, was elected to Congress in the Third
District by 1,500 majority over Stead
The vole for Governor, as far as heard from

The London Daily Telegraph recently
submitted its publication books to the inspec

and those gentlemen report that between
July 1st and December 24, 1870, there were
issued 29,010,035 copiesof that journal, sliow-
g a daily average of 190,855 papers.
Governor Lindsay.—The Governor is a
rather thick-set, handsome jnan, with black
hair and W’hiskers, aud one of those men who
would be set down at first sight as a gentle
man of the higher order. Nor would the first
impression be a faulty one, for his conversa
tion and manner denote culture and refine
ment.
EiT Singular, that as soon as the revolu
tion begins to go backward iu New Hamp
shire and at Washington, the South Carolina
Ku-Klux outragees instanter cease. Can it
be that Mr. G. has ordered his men there not
to stir up any more bloodshed just now.
ty The Charleston News speaks a solemn
truth when it says “ all the soldiers who ever
crossed the Potomac cannot make South Car
olina happy and contented, so long as ignor
ant negroes rule intelligent white men, and
neither intellect nor wealth has a voice in the
councils of the State.”

and an iron front, for the use of that news

OUH WASHINGTON LETT EM.
OUR GREAT GEORGIA CANAL—TIIE DAIILON-
EGA MINT BUILDING.
6pe«ial Correspondanc# of Th« Constitution.
Washington, March 30,1871.
I quote from the official report of the Sen
ate proceedings of yesterday, the following
passages in relation to the Atlantic and Great
Western Canal project:
“Mr. Hill—I ask the unanimous consent of
the Senate to introduce a resolution with a
view to its adoption. When the Senate shall
hear it, I think there will be no objection to
The resolution is as follows:
“Resolved, That the Secretary of War be,
and he is hereby, requested to cause the En
gineer Department of the United States to
extend the survey of the Etowah River
(already ordered) so as to embrace estimates
for a canal connecting said river with the
Ocmulgee River, with a view to opening a
direct and unobstructed water communica
tion between the waters of the Mississippi
River and the Atlantic Ocean, and to report
to the Senate.
I will state that the appropriation for this
work lias already been made, but that in the
bill there is an omission to carry the work
further than the Btowali river. The canal is
to connect the waters of the Tennessee, and
thereby of the Mississippi, with the waters of
the Ocmulgete river in the State of Georgia;
and this is to correct an omission in the bill.
What I desire by the passage of this resolu
tion is that the object of Congress in having
