divided. The fact is repeated in everv

that the negro, even in-hi* freedom. Tai!s to
exereisp the care necessary to the prolonga
tion of 1 if* The census may attempt to
«how that there has been an increase of
negro population sit c n the war. If such is
»be case, it is rot the te«nlt of natural
growth, but of immigration front other
states. S"nth Carolina especially has be
come the Kttnny Bhv of the colored race,
and in the hope of political reward, the
most damttnhle specimens of h’ack-and-tun
humanity have wended their way hither
and are seeking to control the destinies of
•he proud old State. A woolly head, gift
of gab. a clean cotton shirt nnd a cane are
the stock in trade of ’hese adventurous Fuhi
opianp, and nn that capital they are trading
themselves into local notoriety and the
places if honor and profit
Four-fifths of the nv'mbers of the legis
lature are negroes, who havp made from
three to a hundred thousand dollars each.
The lieutenant-governor and secretary of
State are mulattoes and three nut of ihe
four mem hers of Congress range in color

supreme bench is so black that a* chalk
m irk on his philanthropic physiognomy
would look like a light house in a fg,
while the ponderous gravity with which he
listens to the learned arguments of the real
ly learned men of the State, who
are forced to appear before him. has its
•qnal only in that ridiculous sedateness
with which you have seen a monkey oatch
Ih»HS. The 1 eader of the legislature is a
M : chignn negro whose linguistic oi’iness
quickly hpughf him to the dingy surface,
a r >d there hestill floats in vanity and wealth,
lie is called the ‘ Black Prince,” ar.d lives
in style about seven miles from Charleston,
owns twenty horses nnd moles, with hand
some carriages to hoot; drives with a foot
man, and fires a bottle or two of champagne
with a lavish hand to every sight-seer who
has a curiosity to vitdt an ebony idol in his
ewn home.
But the Sou h Carolinians are not depress,
ed without hope hv tjiis condition ot nfflira.
While ignorance and plunder are rampant
in all the official departments, from the
executive down to what we at home call
justice* of thp peace—they are known here
as trial justices, and are as thick ns Val
hamhrosian leaves a strong effort is being
made to amalgamate the two races in such
a manner as will promote the general wel
fare of the State. The most intelligent and
influential among the whites are perfectly
willing to secure to the colored people
everything to which they are entitled under
the law—freedom to vote, good school privi
leges. and a fair distribution of public • ffi
ee« among those who are honest and capa
ble. TheGovernnr, himself—nnOhioman.
ex federal general and an tit questioned
republican —is said to he in favor of this
fusion as a means of restoring peace to the
S’ate, strengthening his administration,
nnd driving out the hordes of carrion-crows
who aT fredirg on the corpse. In doing
this the Democrats will yield no more than
is demanded hv the constitution ; no more
than is extressed in the “new departure”
platform of Mr. Yal'andigham, and no more
than the local interests of South Carolina
absolutely require
As regards the national campaign, the
Pa'metto State will follow—not lead Prom
inent men prefer to wait until unity of
action is secured; and whatever is the voice
i
; of the south, wil’ doubtless be the utternace
of her people. Still, thirty thouasand ne
■ grn majority with which they have to enn
-1 tend, may modify public sen'iment and call
for those conciliatory expressions most cal
culated to pr mote domestic harmony and
disintegrate the purely radical strength.
One of the healthy signs of the times is
the ; n‘en«=e disgust manifest bv the colored
‘*ciriz p ns to the manner born,” toward the
carpet- haggers who have gobbled the offices
at and turned the party into a sort of money
making machine for the benefit of the few.
Another token of returning reason is a dis
position to rest th® experiment of minority
representation, wh ch w uld give to the
whites forty nr fifty members • f the legisla
ture — the balance of power, and thus pre
vent the passage of the fearful hills whereby
the State is kept as it were, on the edge of
bankruptcy.
The actual public debt is between eight
and nine millions—an increase-of about

Tub Arlington Furniture — Shortly
after the close of the war M ij. John Green,
with a long train of wagons, went from this
city to Arlington with an order from the
United States government for the furniture
at Arlington, belonging to General R. E.
L n e. The officer in command of the place
refused to surrender the property, so the
Major, leaving his train the r e, rode ever to
Washington and reported the refusal to the
War Department. Anew ord *r at
once issued and given to an officer, who
accompanied the Major on his return
t> Arlington and saw th it it was executed.
Everything that belonged to the Arlington
family, that had not b<* *n stolen, was then
packed in eighteen wagons and brought
nnd stored in one of the front rooms on the
ground floor of the Mansion ll.use, where
v still remains untouched, —Akxandriz

Two Kinds.—There are two kinds of
girls ; one is the kind that appears the best
abroad, the girls that are good for parties,
rides, visits, halls, etc , aod whose chief
delight is in such things; the other is the
kind that appears best at home, the girls
that are useful and cheerful in the dining
room, the sick room, and all the precincts
of home. They differ widely in character.
One is often a torment at home ; the other
•« a blessing. Ooe is a moth, c >nsuming
everything about her, the other is a sun
beam inspiring life and gladness all along
her pathway. Now it and es not necessarily
follow that there shall lie two classes of
girls. The right education would modify
both a little, and unite their characters in
one.
A man name! Wilson, who Dgne himself
Reve eod. made what was called the npen
i ig prayer at the late lowa Radical Conven*
tion, and sandwiched the following blas
phemous utterances between others more
indecent: ‘ O L »rd. by all mean*, give u«
this venr our usual 40,000 majority, and if
possible, 0 Lord, give n* 80.000 majority V*
This demonstration, soys nn lowa p-por,
was received with applause, mmy of the
members of the Convention clapping their
hands and shouting. "Bully f*r you. Broth
er Wilson!” Such a scheme as this could
not have ncoumd without condemnation in

Tiik Pianos rtk. —This favorite parlor
instrument, now con«iderred an almost in
dispensable article in every family that can
purchase it, was invented by .J C Schroe
der, of Dresden, in 1717 ; the squ ire piano
was first made by Freid»-rica. an organ
builder of Sax nv about 1748. P anofortes
were unde in 17GG. The manufacture of
this instrument was commenced in this
country since the opening of the present
century.
It is estimated that there are over 1,000,-
o'o rdanos in use in this country at the
present time.
To Siiakk r rr rrouble —"Set about do
ing g'*od to somebody ; put on your hat and
go and visit the poor; inquire into their
want? and administer unto them ; seek out
thedis date and oppressed, and tell them of
the consolation of religion. I have often
tri n d this and found it »he medicine for a
heavy hears.” So eaid John Howard, who
spent his life in visiting the wre'ched in
prisons and in hospitals, wherever he knew
of human mi a erv. He Was a happy man,
and the source i f-that happiness was found
in ministering to the wants of others.
