V * For the Time*. LETTER FROM CHARLESTON. * f CUARLKSTO.f, S. C., May 12. This has been a gala week in the "City by tin k Sea." We liavo had the most delicious wealhei [ 1 and a variety of sensations. A big cxcursiot I party from Oeorgiaone day,overflowed the wholt , city in search of pleasure, and seme got more than they contracted for. Then we h: d the Press Association, with Dr Bagby's inimitable personal illustrations; then Cantatas and Mrs. Jonley's Wax works at nigbl ^/.thsyuvw^Us^^yl Regattas in day time bj ' the" F?nk^BW?*wWyhilt-oonl, Episcopal Con vention, aud Memorial Day, crowued by th< satisfaction of knowing that the old Stato is once more free under "Hampton and Home Rule." The Bankers, Brokers and Factors have been wonderfully exercised about,the Usury Law, and tho "Chamber of Commerce," as usual, has been called on to scotch if not kill the snake.? There is a grim humor in the whole proceedure, and the poor farmers ought to feel very thankful for the iutorcst those gentlemen take in their affairs. Of courso their only wish in making money plenty and cheap is to benefit tho bor% rowers?tho poor farmer. There is one difficulty in the solution of this jfj problem, however. If money can bo borrowed T" in New York or anywhere else for 3, 4, 5 or 6 per cent., it it sure to become dearer when it * gets down here. The risks of transportation are so great, wo guess. lid. We are told by the Banks and Bankers that they hare millions lying idle in their vaults. ' The trouble is, not the scarcity of money, but oi collaterals. Any man who tan pile up the collaterals, and is willing to pay one per cent, s - month, can get his note cashed. Sd. When the Usury Law was about to be abolished, these same Bankers and Brokers assured us of the most benefioial effects which must follow. The benefits did not come to the class which most needed help?the money went into the Banks; the Banks declared large dividends, and the poor people paid the penalty. We are not taking a "political economy" view of this question at all. Wo don't deny the right any man has to sell his money at the higha^cst price he can get for if. We don't wonder at the opposition of Bankers to a Usury Law. They know where the shoe pinches, but we do object to their basing their opposition upon false grounds. The other party have a right to try the experiment?particularly as they are to be the sufferers. We reckon the Bankers can stand it as long as the borrowers have stood the other experiment. The Legislature stems inclined to give the question the go-by for the present, and during the recast) the subject will be ventilated in the press and on the stump. Well, when the crop is laid by the people will need a little stirring up. Times are in danger of growing dreadfblly dull. There are evident signs of improvement in business in the City since tho new regime began. The old houses arc being repaired, new houses built, new fences and fixtures are going up. The whitewash brush has been brought into requisition and a more cheerful look is givee to everything. Although trade cannot improve uuui iiiu new gr?'j) cuuies 111, mure is u uujieiui' ness about the peoble, a feeling of socurity and an assurance tbat times must grow better, that it quite cheering. Wages are better ami men work with & bettei ? heart. The health of the City is vory good. The market gardeners have been enjoying theii W harvest. Iuuuetisc quantities of fruits and veg etnbles have been shipped North, we prcsunu with profit. Green I'eas, Snap Beans, Beets Turnips and Asparagus, are now so abundant that any body can atford to indulge in such lux urics. Strawberries are abundant and cheap and Blackberries are being ding-donged about the streets at low down figures. The war news still continues to be startling The position of Great Britain is crilioal. I: that power should become involved there is n< calculating how or when it will end. The true policy of our people is to plant lesi cotton and grow more provisions. Will they d< it? It is madness to plant a large crop of cot ton, under the present aspect ef things in thi old world, with a knowledge of a full supply 01 nand. NOU8 VBKKON8. ? A Dsn of Wickkdnkhs.?During the discussioi Y of the Appropriation bill in Um Uoum of Uoprosentatives last Monday,the following expositions ^*<re made v >^/ ^vWells, from Richland, moved to add ar K&b. SM08.67 for the support o thswt^ jjchool to June 1, 1877, and spoke ii favor or ins motion, urging it on the ground tha the Normal School was doing much good in th< preparation of teachers. Mr. Simpson?It has boon said that the Dem ocratic party is pledged to provide educations facilities for the oolorcd people. Well, air, w< have fulfilled those pledges in appropriating large sums for the public schools, and we havi appropriated nothing for the education of thi white children. We intend to keep our pledges ,but we do not intend to foster every institutioi .that has been gotten up here in the last fee years. In those years the whits people liavi .been almost entirely excluded from education the State. Mr. Sheppard?The constituents of the gen Aleman from Kichland (Mr. Wellsl do not paj 1-10 of the taxes, while they get 9-10 of the ben .efits of education by the State. What recogni Aion have the white people had upon this floo ^ - for the last ten yearsT Our pledges are mor ihan redeemed by the appropriations we hav already made, and my only apprehension is tha 4>ur constituents may not sustain us in them.As far as the character ef the institutiou is con joerned, I would tell this House about it, were i net for circumstances which at this (nement sui yroiind us (the presenap of ladies in the hall.)I have information in relation to the conduct : that institution which would justify this Legit lain re in wiping it out of existence at once, fo it is a disgrace to the State and to civilization Against the good that is done there 1 oau sho< -that it does ten times the hgrm. It is a den < wickedness and a hot bed of infamy. The motion to amend was laid on the table. Farewell, Fattt.?Old fraud Whitlemore hi left us. Rebellious, Ku King South CaroJin was too hot for the old firebrand, and the burl "Duke of Darlington" will be no more amon us forever. The old thieving mush tub suddei ly discoverld yesterday that the salubrious el mate of South Carolina had been made vei .si'ikly for him by the investigating committe and asked for an indefinite leave of absence I A consequence of "siokness in his family." Oc forbid that we should deny even a oondemm murderer such a privilege/ If be really requirt it. but, frem sou roes whTeb we could not aoub w? learn that the old cadetsmp-eeucV) seeing tl penitentiary in the distance, and not disease at death in his family, concluded to pretend tl one and avoid the other, and so "got up ar got;" like a good, little, fat lladicol thief as I is. Good-bye, old boy. Heuth Carolina h been cursed with no grenter senmp thnn tl Senator from Darlington, who made his start S?uth Carolina by marrying the eniancipnti blocks at a dollar a hend in gongs of fifties ni hundreds.?Columbia Register. K, Wtk' BM),? IaisI week wo slated that tho Tax fo Slato purposes, as reported by the committee would be only fivo mills on tho dollar. Sine 5 then the Committee iiave added a section to th r bill, providing for the payment of the intercs 1 on the public debt, which increases tho tax t 5 seven mills for State purposes and three mill 5 for Couuty purposes, or ten mills in all, ngains 18 mills last year. Tho :ction providing ft > the interest on the public debt reads thus : 1 "That the sum of three hundred thousnni t dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary , and the same is hereby appopriated, to pay th January and July, 1877, interest upon the con solidated t onds and certificates of the State is > sued under tho provisions of the Act to reduc I the volume of the public debt; provided, that a , part thereof shall be applied to the payment o the iutercst upon the said consolidated bond and certificates of State stock until the holder 1 thereof Bhnll have submitted the same to the iu 1 spec!ion and scrutiny of a Commission raisct t f,r the purpose by the General Assembly an< until said Commission shall havo determined th same to bo valid and bona fide * Maj. Reno Run Out.?Washington, May 8.? At tlio Cabinet meeting to-day, the court maT tial case of Miyor Reno, 7th Cavalry, wm pre I tented to the President for final action, and re suited in the promulgation, at a late hour thi afternoon, of the following order : War Department, May 8,1877. The proceedings in this case, having beet forwarded under the 100th article of war to th< i Secretary of War, have been most carefully con sidered, and havo been submitted to the l'resi deat, who approves the findings and sentence 1 but is pleased to mitigatcthe latter tosuspcnsioi from rank and pay for two years from the 18tl ' of May, 1877. Mtyor Reno's conduct toward the wife of ai absent officer, and in using the whole force o his power as commanding officer of the post t< gratify his resentment against her, cannot b > too strongly condemned, but after long dolibcra tion upon all the circumstances of the case, a shown in the records of tho trial, it is though that his grave offenses, grave as they are. do no warrant the sentence of dismissal and all it consequences, upon one who has for twent; i years borne the reputation of a brave man ant honorable officer, and has maintained that repu tion upon the bnttle fields of the rebellion ant in contest with the Indians. The President hni therefore, modified the sentence, and it is hopei that Major Reno will appreciate tho elemene; thus shown him, as well as the very reprchensi ble nature of the act of which he was fount guilty. [Signed] Geo. W. McCrkart, Secretary of War. Plant Corn.?How many farmers may hi heard to say next winter, "If I had known th( war between Russia and Turkey was going t involve half of Europe, and run provisions uj to so high a price, I would have planted no cot ton at all, but put all my land in corn, peasant potatoes, to raiso bacon.'' Well they ci^ ^il enrry out a part of this plan, and ! does not involve half of Europe, Russia ant Turkey, aggregating one hundred millions o ' people, are sufficient to raise the prices consid 1 crnbly; and if the prices were not raised at all i such a provision crop would far exceed in valui wlist the farmer can do with cotton. Corn car r be planted until tho middle of May and mak very good crops, especially if the senson is wet as it promises to be. If half the cotton fields now planted, were plowed up and planted ii - corn, tho result would be all tha better for th , owners and for the country. If the other grca ' powers of Europe should become involved in th 1 struggle, what then will you do witb your staple i Mr. cotton-planter? Hold it? Well, if yoi i have no debts to pay, you may do that, but i will require the sagacity of a Philadelphia law ycr, and he to be looking through the most pow 1 erful perspective, in order to discover tho ghos i of a chance for better prices. Reunion of Two Methodist Organization'! ? Baltimore, May 10.?A General Conventio of the Methodist Protestant Church, and also c the Methodist Church, fhc two principal nor - l.piscopal Mcllimlist Churches in tho Unite ) Slates, meets in this city to-morrow, the specio purpose being a formal reunion of the two d< ' nominations. Previous to 1858, they constitute ^ one organization, nnd were then divided on tin - slavery question. In October, 1875, commission appointed by the General Conferences of the tw t churches, with the view of re-estaVishing frntei nnl relations, met in Pittsburg, and agreed upo a basis of reunion. To confirm the action t . this joint commission by necessary lcgislatio f tho Conference will ineet to-morrow, and wil subsequently go into joint session, llisho Simpson nnd l)r. Alex.
