A drivp of eight miles in an open top buggy, accompanied by her with whom kind destiny has linked me, drawn by a staid old philosophical mulo under tho piercing rays of the sun, as thvy fell upon us at the hours-of 9 and 10 o’clock, and closely followed by a ebuplo of melon carts drawn by two other* extremely gentlafoembers qf the same fabiily, brought ns to the church, which is surrounded by a grqve of oaks that eclipse in their beauty the famous “Oaks,” tht^ pride of the pic nickers of CharlestonV Arriving there yoUr correspondent wad happlly sur prised to find a much largirr crowd iu attendahce than he had cxpoctexj. The strenuous efforts of myself, together wfth the propelling rays of the gain, had failed to Impress the beast which I drove with the,necessity of landing me at the church in time to take my chances In common with other visitors In procuring seat room In the building, but fay a little more perseverance than decency and good behavior would have approved, I succeeded in forcing an entrance Into the buildfng which by this time was crowded to overflowing. As before stated, we failed to reach the church before the commencement of the exercises. Prayer apd the pasto ral greeting by the Rev. John I'. Bulat had been concluded and the flrstsong, "Think on These Things,” which was being beautifully illustrated by the children when I entered tho church, and Just ^ere, to begin with, I wjll de- scribo the beautiful, and, to me, novel manner in which this hyrpn was illus trated." It seems that tho first lino of each stanza of tho hymn begins with a? appropriate word like the following, true/hepeet, just, etc., and when the choir, with the,able management of Mrs. Dr, W^B. Rice, sounded tho first word of the stanza some dear little child would hang that word which was written on a pretty card in,large letters on the wall in the back ground of the beautifully ojrnamented stage, and when the chplr soundod the first word of the second . stanza another child would hang that word In line to the right of the first, and soon. .W hen the hymn.vrati finished the Adldren had in that mannefhullt tho following Inter- eetiqg, .though Incomplete sentence: "Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lively”—"good report’V- vlrtue and praise,’' and, Immediately below, on a somewhat larger card of a similar kind Was bong, ut tho conclu sion of the hymn, the imperative sen tence and" namp of the hymn, "Think on These Things.” Above, on the same wall, was hung the greeting word "Welcome” In largo and handsomely wrought letters of variegated colors, overhung by a crescent and encloaed by a wreath. . „ .

Others of tho visitors who were less selfish than theee aforemen tioned after dinner repaired to the church to listen to the sweet strains of music produced by an Impromptu choir, of which the efficient Mrd.

Their patriotism prevailed over their personal fooling, but they would haVe supported another man more cordially. It la not well to put such a strain on men's patriotism.

The spirit of patriotism consists of at least two elements, the love of coun try pnd the etpployjnent of our cholc-: oet powers, physical, Inlenectual and moral, for the advancement of the in terest, -honor and happiness of that country. Every dthen whoao heart Is warmed with the love of country, and who is willing to devote his noblest powers of mind and body to the ad vancement of Its best Interest is efi.- lliled not only to the name but the hon ors of the patriot. TborO was a.day when war was the most honorable call ing, and then the professional soldier held tbe Orst and highest claim to pa triotism, but that ddy has passed away, society has advanced and mar tial spirit, achievements and renown are no more regarded oS the exclusive test or evidence of patriotism, and heuce when a citizen announces him self as a camitaatelay and public trust but feWmake the Inquiry, "was he in ;.Hfe agii^t the war heeAuss l|l#k held fis the genuine test of patriotism and therefore dobs not take pieced over other eiaims. ’Washington, Greene and La Fayette, with all their revolutionary services, were no greater patriots than Adams, Franklin or Jef fers on. Tbe truth la the humblest Ore to as T’gfr praise for m as the hitter, hence we say. away with that’test of patriotism, has be been In the war? It should not give tbs ascendency over other claims.

It wilt never do to eend unprincipled moe to the-Legisla ture ; men who are willing to mdn their country if they can fill their own pock ets with “filthy Iticre ’ and spread their bar>en names abroad. We are not seeking men to go to the next Legisla ture whose only power is lo- theif tongues, whose only* ambition is th£ flvu dollars a flay and what spoils they may gather through clap-trap means while at, the Legislature.. These are not.the men tha times demand ; they will not fill the bill. The men we are In search of are of a higher and nobler class: They .are men whose characters as public and private eltteena are moulded and established with the so- lidity -of granite; who at home or among men, on land or sea, indicate Incorruptible morals, firmness, Integ rity and unselfishness, and if they lack a knowledge of the acienoe of political economy, yet their love of country, their true devotion to ite best inter ests, aa seen in all their public and private acts, shine forth with tho pol ish and lustre of Carrara marble, their patriotism attested by acta both pri vate and public, eeen.tn the home cir cle or in the public life, in their self- denials, privations, toils, sacrifices for the (good of country, are fike so many jcwhiled characters engraven upon their entire life. Theseare the mCu we heed for the next Legislature. Oh! hori oor country would rejoice; how prosperity would return to our land if ourj legislative assemblies and public bodies sbeuld be wholly made up of uucjorruptible men, men of staunch honor uHd uudeViating integrity, that the.lobbyist and the bribe-giver dare tot approach them, and where tbe peotple could, with entire safety and confidence, rely upon the. purity of their public servants. Fellow-citizens, we who are the foue- tuid of power, at the next election must, as far as we can, remove tbe prison from the stream hild then re- fotm will bo seen in every department of our government. ^ j “PKRKUkT KT^JItirrAXTUR,” Bamberg, July 25;h, 1878. The Itadlcal* on IldiNto. [XewsuHi Courier.] Emaxo Islahd, July 20.—The great Radical pow-wow cams off to-day, anti the big lights of fho Republican party, in the persons of Bowen, Mackey and Taft, figured extensively. The meet ing was a small gathering fot such a stronghold aa the Radicals claim here, not more than fifty men, women and small boys composed tbe audience and they manifesting no great Interest iu what was going on, the Chairman having to rap Very vehemently to at tract the attention' of the crowd, who very often were engaged In loud talk-' ing, and for a short while gave their attentlori^wjietber to tho loud tapping or speaker is uncertain. . • Mackey was the first speaker. He dwelt at lengtfi: on the polling pre cincts, what a fraud the Democrats had perpetrated on tfie poor, Ignorant colored man to deprive him of Ilia rote, which the Republican party had given them. For Instance, he said, St. Andrew's Parish had no polling precincts at all; the consequence was If they went to Charlgeton or James Island to vote, they would t>o b)ld that was not theft precinct bhd they could not vote. That tjio Democfats would throw out thelf votes from Jhe box, and that Hamptoh found so much talk iu-BlacJcvlllC about carrying tbe elec tion by fraud: that lie had assured the people of a fair elccHon. If Hampton was lofearnest, the Republicans would give him an opportunity of Showing it by pcfllihg a larger Republican ma- jorltyln this county than ever before. In tararleiton the Democrats were di vided and consequently not as strong as at tfce jaet efecUon', even at the special election they had polled less votes than'&t the general election. Ho spoke of the crying shame of the Dem ocrats turning out the Republican del egation from Charleston county, then of the rascalHy of the democratic pqr- haraberlain was ty;»—n that while Mr. Chamberlain Was Governor the Interest on tbe State dept was paid; but now the had refused to pay It, and thi kind of reform they had promised. on tbe stand and roiled out, "Fellow, oittzens of ^disto Island,” he did it with such vehemence, that ooe^really -who- expected to hate a gradtt of nn wm eloquence; but the speaker! back to days gone by te fix tbe atten tion of a listless audience, and tell them how the Republicans had waded through a long and blupdy war for the purpose of giving theta their free dom, amFWere they going against that party ? A faint cry, "Jjkr.” He spoke of the great opposition In the Legisla ture by tt^e Democrats to tbe sriiool amendment, which had been passed under whip and spur, after the people had polled a majority of 80JXKI in fa vor of fr, and were it. not for the Re. publican vote It could not have gone through, Gen.

He closed by advtslngttfae colored people to put • honest men In officorif they could, but stick to rascals if Rkpubli cans. > ■> ■ ' ■ v Mr. went over the same ground ns the other epenkers ; said the State waa carried by fraud and by vio- lence at the last election. He dwelt extensively on the poll tax law as an infringement on the rights of the col ored people ; that the Democrats not only wanted them to pay the poll tax. but the trial justices intended to charge them five dollars more for collection If they did not pay. He would assure them that no man should - be impris oned in Charleston jail for- not paying ; i^ they bad the money to spare, with out incommoding tbemselvep or family they could pay: .otherwise, not to pay. That the Democrats had lost their chance of-eueoesa when they did not take the ticket he made up at the spe cial election placing ten Democrata on it, arfd the reason they did not run a ticket then was that he was sure of defeat, it took money to carry on a campaign in this county, and when his party complained of not having a ticket in the field be sent out W. H. Thompson to raise money; he came back with a single two dollar bill, Which would not send their ballots to James Island. They had only come now to reorganize the Republican par ty; would be back three or fur times during the campaign. • OltlK.XTAI. MAUll'IAftS. Astonifeliins; I'entM of Jugglery iu the r.ast. I was smoking my chibouk on the wide verandah of a bungalow, or gov ernment inn, one day In Northern In dia. It was in January, but tho weather was intensely hot, and my Dakgahrra, With Its rough, untrained horses, had stopped here for a midday rest. My Hindostonee servant, with an unpro nounceable name, whom I had 'nick named “Handy Andy” on account of certain unhandy ways, and a merry twinkle (>nhe eye that indicated no lack of H.bernian humor, came up the por?h, and, with a salaam, said: “Would sahib like to' see conjurer make trickn?” " fen, bring him ob.” I suspected the fellow was conairiting his own fondresA for amusement more than miue, but it was too hot to sleep, and I was ready for anything that would kill time. A tA!l, fine-looking Hindoo, wirii a clear-cut, intelligent face, and eyes that looked straight at you, with no'indiedtion of ‘‘ways that are drrk and tricks that ate vain,” next appeared on the seene, He was dressed in the Utdlnary long white robe of Ids race, with a rich cashmere shawl wound round his waist, and his oalutation and manners were respect ful, without the least shade of servili ty. He was followed by two attend ants; carrying tbe various Implements of bis profession, which they spread out before him, and a donen hr two hangers-on of all ages grouped them selves at a respectful distance to en- ’joy the free show. The ground In front of the bungalow was paved with large, flat btonr'rs, and upon - one' of thtse the conjurer seated himself, curl ing his legs uuder him in orfcntal fash ion, and asked in ftlndoostanec “What special trick would the aahlb like to see?” At the sftme time he bared hts a^ms, ^mg, well-formed, but uot mus cular, and untied his shawl to open his robe and show me that there was no concealed mechanism about Lie per son. 1 told toim through Handy Andy that I would like tc haVe hiqi perform themaugo trink—which I had seen once before at Delhi without bring able to penetrate its mysterlcri. He nodded adeem, and taking a box about ten inches square filled it with earth, and in It planted a mango nut, about the size of ad-fSoglish walnut; having first banded if to trie for examination. H» then made a Iratnework or tripod, of three bricks, six or eight feet long and tied together at the top, placed It over the-box, and covered the wholo with a piece of white muslin. - The only thing thus for that looked like charla tanism was a muttered incantation, rolling up Ms eyes, with Outstretched palms, as if appealing for aid to some higher power. Again seating himself not saoro than tea fee* iff-front of the tornndah, he went through the most astonishing perflrmhnces of sleight-of-hand tricks, such as swatlowfog swords, tossing baH* la the ajfrr drawing from hie curious things he did for nearly.ah hour, with the modi intense gravity of raan&er, and an air of candor that would disarm suspicion. My eyes werttwidefOpen, and I - wqtohed him ,sb intently as scarcely to wink, and yet I was unable to detect a single flaw, or account for one of those transforma tions. Some of tbe triclfs he repeated at my request, but the iresult w&» the same. At the orilical moment his mo tions were as quisk as lightning. In all cases where fire was used I noticed that he either poured some liquid of threw a whitish powder upon the flames, which produced for an Instant a dense smokeapnd left a pungent aro* i Store In the, town of Wlllteton, „„ *l.i60 feet; Ghuj/frout. in central poition of the business portion of the town.

He then emptied the earth from the box to show that nothing was concealed within It.

It is not euTprtsing that the bystanders seemed filled witiLamasomentnot un mixed with awe. It was plain- that they considered him in league with the evil spirit or gifted with supernatuiul power?.

It excited my wonder and admiration to witness tho skill and rxpertness of the performers, but I never for a moment doubted that it was a trick which could bo rutioae.ily explained, in the East the profession of a conjurer inspires dread. He is looked upon as in league with the devil. Tho ordinary oriental mind does not seek to pcnetiato his secret, but takes it^for granted that be possesses super natural powers. His imagination te easily excited, and the belief in magic Is universally accepted as a part of his religious creed. In tho holy books of Buddha tho magic aits open a short road to obtain that perfection of power and wisdom'which culminates in the cessation of sensible existence. The more refined and learned class of Bud dhists repudiate and despise the gross er exlrlijittoitis of common magic and charlatanism, but hs the cemmon peo ple will not dispense with these mar vels, every great monastery keeps a conjurer who does not belong to the brotherhood of tho convent and la al lowed to marry.
