It is not often that a great city feels, but when this great heart of humanity, whose every pulsation is a life, can feel, the result is more terri. ble than the bloodiest battle. Yes, when those arteries of a eity, its streets, and lanes, and alloys, thrill with the same feeling; -when, like an electric chain, it darts invisibly from one breast to another, until it swells ten thousand hearts, the result is ter. rible. I care not whether that result is manifested in a Riot, that fills the streets with the blood of then, and women, and little children, that- fires the roof over the head of the iunocent, or sends the Church of God whirling in smoke and flhme to the midnight sky ; or whether that feeling is mani festd in the silence of thousandc . the stealthy footstep, still it is a fearful thing to see. There is a gloom to-day in Charles. ton. A dead awe reigns over the .city. Every face you see is stamped with gloom ; eion go ilently by, with anguist in theit hearts and eyes. Women are weeping in their darken. ed chambers, in yonder church old men are kneeling before the altar, praying, in low, deep, muttorred tones. The very soldiers whom you meet, elad in their British uniform, viear sadness on their faces. These men, to whom murder is sport, are gloomy to-day. The citizens pass hurriedly to and fro ; cluster in groups ; whisper together ; glide ailetly-int* thoir.hones. . The stores ate closed to-day, as thongh it were Sunday. The win dows of those houses are closed as thodgh some great man were dead ; there is silence in the air, as though a plague had despoiled the town of its beauty and its manhood. The British banner-stained as it is with the best blood of the Palmetto 8tate-seems to partake of the influ once of the hour ; for, floating from yonder staff, it dogs not swell buoy. antly -upon the breeze, but drops heavily to the ground. The.only sound you hear save the hurried tread of the citizens, is th3 low, solemn notes of the Dead March, groaning fro'-inufled dtrums. ,Why all this,gloom, that oppresses the heart and fills. the eyes ? Why do Whig and Tqi-y, citizen and sold dier, share 'this gloom alike ? Why this silenee, this aive, this dread ? Look yonder, and In the centre cf that common, deserted by every human thing, behold-rioing in lonely hideousness-behold, a Gallows. Why does that gibbet stand there, blackening in the morning sun ? Come with me into yonder mansion whose 'roof arises proudly over all other roofs. -Up these earpeted stairs, into this luxurious chamnber, whose windows are darkened by hang ings of satin, whose walls are -covered with tapestry, whose fonor is orowdled with elegant furniture. All is silent in this chamber. A single glow of morning, light steals thro' the parted ea.rta;ins of yonder window. Bieside that w!umlow, with his back to the light, his facs in shadow, as though he wished to hide certain dark thoughts from the light, sits a young man, his handsome form afra yed in a British uniform. Hie is youn g, but there is the gloom of age upon that woven brow, there is the resolve of murder upon that ourling lip.' His attitude is signifi. ospt, His bead inclined to one- side, thes cheek resting on the left band, while the right grasps. a parehmeont, whioh bears hisignature~ the iak not yet dried, ,Tat.p.rh ^Ia a dehharrant, you:~. will loyvk closely upon that 'red imilform you will asee that it bt stainyl of Paoll, wbere th'e- cry foi aswor4 apddhbeking.byQet.' :yes this Is none otherAtb.n General Grey -othe Butoher of:Flaolij transformed by the 'delsdeof si KInginto Lr * W,lildag.4ex.,iby , h uyidotr graspng41separcmenO bp and -h bodoor ofene,4eteadgegroupe tetsM 200Lh3 elI u an gi, .widrbu.w rln'g use, on pllId face, his yoo de ,w o o curls, clustering about his fair coun tenance. You can see that dark ey flash, that lower lip quiver, as h silently confronts Lord Rawdon. The woman-I use that word, for t me it expresses all that is pure i passion, or holy in humanity, whil your word-lady-means nothing bu ribbons and millinery-tho woma advances, and encircled by thes children, stands before the gloom lord. 'I have come,' she speaks in at voic that strikes you with its music an tenderness, 'I have come to plead fe my brother's life 1' She does not sany, behold my brol cr's children, but there are, and th English lord beholds them. Teai are coursing down the cheeks of thos little girls, but the eye of the womi is not dim. The boy of thirteen look intently in the face of. the Briton, hi under lip quivers like a leaf. For a single moment that prou lord raises his head and surveys th group, and then you hear his deep ye melodious voice 'Madam, your brother swore al logiance to his Majesty, and wa afterwards taken in arms against hi King. le is guilty of Treason, ani must endure the penalty, and that, a )ou well know, is Death.' 'But, my lord,' said the brave we man, standing erect, her beauty shin ing more serenely in that moment o he.cism, 'You well know the ciroum stances unner which he swore alle gianee. He, a citizen of South Carc lina, an A merican, was dragged fron the bedside of a dying wife, and hur ned to Charleston, where this tan guage was held by your officers 'Take the oath of allegiance and re turn to the bedside of your dyij wife : Refuse and we will consigi you to goal 1' This, my lord, no when he was free to act, ah no ! Bu when his wife lay dying of that foar ful disease-small pox-which hat already destroyed two of his children How could he act otherwise than h did ? how could he refuse to tak< your oath I In his ease, would you my lord, would any man, refuse to do the same.' Still the silent children stood ther< before hin, while the. clear voice o the true woman pierced hi's soul. 'Your brother is condemned tc death !' he coldly said, turning hi head away. He dies at noon, can d nothing for you !' Silently the woman, holding a littl girl by each hand, sank on her knees but the boy of thirteen stood erect Do you bee that group 1 Those hand upraised, those voices, the clear voici of the woman, the infantile tones o those sweet g.rls, miugling in one er, for 'Mercy 1' while the Briton look, upon them with a face of iron, an< the boy of thirteen stands erect, no tear in his eye, but a convulsive trem or on his lip i Then the tears of that woman comi at last-then as the face of that steri man glooms before her, takes the lit tlo hands of the girls within her own and lifts them to his knee, and beg him to spare the father's life. Not a word from the English Lord The boy still firm, erect and silent no tear dims the eye whiah glare steadily in the face of the tyrant. 'Ab, you relent l' shrieks that si ter of the condemned man. 'Yi will not deprive these children of father-you will not cut him off In th prime of mhanhood, by this hideou death I As you hope for mercy i your last hoar, be merciful now spare my brother, and not a heart i Cherleston but will bla you-apar Ihini for the sake of these children I' I'Madam,' was'the cold reply, 'yeu brother has been condemned to die I can do nothing for you I' IHe tiurned away, and held tb parchment before his eyes. At lam the stern heart of the boy was moltetl There was a spasmodic motion abet his chest his limbs shook, lie stood fc a moment like a statue, and then fel on his knees, seizing the right handc lord Rawdon with his trembling fir gers. - Lord Rawdon looked down upo that young face, shadowed with ohe.' nut curls, as the small bands blutehe his wrist, and an expression of surpris camne over-his fuce. 'My oblld,' said he, 'I can do noti The boy silently rose. He took sister by each ha.nd, There was **ild look in his young eye-a soer; of defiance on his lip. 'Come, sisters, let us go.'

Not a citiron, a soldier, nor evo a negro was seen. A silence lik o death rested upon the city. n Suddenly the sound of the dea e march was board, and yonder behol t the only evidence of life through 0 out this wide city. 0 On yonder common, around th Y gibbet, is gathered (a strangely con t;rastod crowd. There is the negro 0 the outcast of society, the Britisl d oficer in his uniform, the citizen ii r hs plain dross. All are grouped to gethor in that crowd. In the contre of the dense nass 0 beside that horse and cart, one fool ' on that coflin of pine, stands the onl: 0 man in this crowd with an uncoveret n- brow. He stands there, an image o a mature manhood, with a musoulai 3 form, a clear, full eye, a bold fore head. His check is not pale, nor ii: I eye dim. He is dressed neatly in t D suit of dark velvet, made after the t fashion of his time ;one band insertoc in his vest, rasts on his heart. Above his head dangles the rope s Near his back stands that figure with e the oraped face ; around the British toldiers, seperate the condemned froi a the crowd. Among all that rude band of soldiers, not an eye but is wel - with tears. - The bravo officer there, who hat charge of the murder, pulls hi - chapeau over his oyes, to shield then from the sun, or--can it be ?--to hid< his tears, All is ready,. le has bidden the last farewell to his sister, his childret - in yonder goal ; he has said his last - word to his noble boy, pressed his Iasi kiss upon the lips of those fair girls. All is ready for the murder. i A t this moment a-citizen advances, t his face convulsed with emotion t 'flayne, he speaks in a choking voice, 'show them how an American can die 1' - '1 will endeavor to do so,' was the 3 reply of the doomed man. 3 At this moment the hangman advan. cod, and placed the cap over his brow, 3 A cry was heard in the crowd, a foot, stop, and those soldiers shrank bauk 3 before a boy of thirteen wh< rushed forward. 'Father 1' he shrieked, aWho betrld the condemned with the cap over lii brow. One groan sros.s from that crowd a simultaneous expression of horror. The father drew his cap from hit brow behold the wild face, the glaring e eyes his of son. 'God ble.s you my boy,' he spoke gathering that young form to hii heart. 'Now go, and leave your fathei to his fate.

The Need of Retrenchment and Reform. A day or two before the adjourn ment of the State. Legislature on the first of March last, Senator Leslie, who is nothing if not a iadical, made a vigorous attack upon tile State Gov erntuent, and declared tihot "the Ap.| propri;tion Bill . alone, if any one would criticise it trutbfully and show it up as it should be done, would damn every one" of tho loaders of. the Radical party. How fta even the amounts set dotii in an Appropria iion Bill will cover'tho xlensea of; a1 year, none but a RadicalaFflioial can know. In some cases, haowever, a wink is as good as a nod,ai d as Sena tor Leslie a tid, without copi radict ion, that the Goet of the legislative session would be at lesst two hunaiel thous and dollar4, and the approiriation for the purpose was just one liundred and forty thousatAd d..aiars, itti only rea rouablo to look for a lnrge. defciency in that quarter, and, ato, in other direct-ions. Indeed, the ' Appropria tion Bill hints that somethinR of the sort may be expeoted, and-"provides twenty thousand dollars nt toeet the da4!prQy".,lni . }ho ip "",.!oq_..Wo legislative purposes in the preceding year. ' 1at it umay not to right to as sume beforehand that the different ! departments will spend more than is' authorized by law, and a plain com parison of what is granted this year with what was granted for,the fear 1867 must be foir, and will certainly be interesting. The whole expenses (.ciording to the Appropriation Bill) of the year 1867, were $314,580, against (exolu sive of interest) $721,169 for the" year now current. This is a good beginning, and a comparative table will best show where the enormous increase has been: SALARiEs. 1867. 1870.

Well might Senator Leslio fear the effect upon the people of an ex posuro of their monstrous extrava gance. It may not dispatch to Hades, as Mr. Leslie thoughtfully, suggests, all th4 leaders of his party, but it is enough to convince the people of the absolute necessity of Retrenchment and Reform. And these they can only obtaln through the victory, at the polls. in October, of the Citizen's Reform Party.-Charlesoton News. iiA*, E.sTra s TA NSAoIoN.--Th0so who, have sacrificed thmemselves and their own fortunes in the service of our beloved State, by accepting office.

If' the financial secrets of the pro sent State tovernment could not be laid bare, as, at no distant day, they assuredly will be, the people would with one voice demand that waste and extravagance should cease, and that our public affairs should be condu,t" ed, us of old, with honoty, economy and efficiency. In duo time the trans actions of the Land Commission, of the Financial Agency in Now York, of the Bureau of Agricultural Statis ties, and other lindred instittitions. will be exposed and explained, and then only will it be known how far the State has been plunged into debt by these throo years cit reckless spend mg. The facts and figures which the State officials make public, and whose !orrectnoss cannot be gain-said, aro mteresting reading, all the same ; for 3vent they chow that the one great iced of the State-for merchant and nechanio, artisan and laborer, poor tad rich, gentle and simple-is that onost, intelligent, and frugal govern nent, which can only be obtained by he triumph at the polls of the Citi :ons' Rleform Party.

That argument is ---The enormous increase of the State debt, the enormous cost of the State Government, atid the onotmous taxa tion, which increased debt and lia creased expenses make absolutely ne oessary. Can any man who looks at the figures doubt that unless we haVe a purer and more frugal administra tion, the State will be hopelessly ruin od 1 1. The appropriation for the e. pen-iss of State Govertutment was $420,000 in 1866, and is $720,000 in 1870, exclusive of the interest on the public debt. Besides this, there is coinity tax, amounting to more than $500,000, and the capitation tax amountitig to $200,000. 2. The salaries of the State officials were $50,800 in 1867, and are $167 800 in 1870. 8. Tho estimate of the Comptrol, Ier-General for the expenses of the year 1859, under specified heads, was $777,300. But the amount aotuQlly spent was $1,296,752. And this does not include the $200,000 spent by the Land Comnission. 4. To make a long story short--the debt of the State, direct and indiroot, which was six million dollars in 1868, is now fourteen million dollars. Ilo,v can any one, in the faO of figures like these, advise his fellow citizens to practice a masterly in av. tivity, and wait patiently until some peaceful revolution shall not only hurl R:tdioalism from power, but wipe out, besides, the lotig roll of debt and taxation 1 The only thing which can save the State and the people is a change of government at the neit election. We cannot affort& to wait, for if the struggle wore rastponed two years longer the taxatou would be so enormous that neither com moroo nor agriculture could thrive and prosper. And thou the only "passive resistance" remaining to the people would be a general Exodus from a State which was ruined, l es by the act of Ler.enemaies than by tbo obstinate folly of a few of her own ohihldrn.--Charleston News.

At present, by dint of persis tent self-assertion, and by insidious political combinations for purely sel fish ends, the East is paramount in Congress, and will continue to carry matters there with a high hand until its ascendant is succesfally disputed, and the advocates of monopolies are put down by men who will not aban don thteir convictions of what is beat for the welfare of the whole country, to servo the intercsts of party and te greed of cliques and speculators.
