Annetta Gilbert, of Charleston, whom the New York Sun describes as a beautiful and modest young lady of twenty-three, with a slight tinge of African blood inner veins, has instituted suit for $10,000 damages against the New York and Charleston Steamship Company for refusing her a state room on the Manhattan.

The Suez Canal, it is said, is proving a great success, both for the trade of the world and for its owners. The traffic has steadily increased, since the opening in November, 1869.

The canal receipts for each of the two months of December and January last were $800,000, and for February it was estimated would be over a million. ?? Citizens of New York have taken a step in regard to the income tax which ought to have been taken long ago. They have de terroined to bring the question of the constitutionality of the tax to a judicial test. For this purpose an anti-income tax association has been organized, with a permanent board of officers, composed of some of the heaviest taxpayers and most respectable residents of the city.

In Rhode Island the present State officers are re-elected by about 3400 majority, except the Lieutenant Governor, whose election goes to the Legislature. Full returns of the Connecticut election have not been received; though the Democrats claim to have elected their candidate for Governor. Two Democratic Congressmen are elected, being a gain of one, and the Legislature is very close, with several Democratic gains. From Havana we learn that the most horrible atrocities are now being carried on by the Spaniards and the rebels. It was only recently that we announced the capture and killing of an entire party of contra guerrillas; to-day we hear that the volunteers roasted a man alive, first driving a stake through hie body, and that an entire family, consisting oi old m'en, women and children, was murdered by Spanish troops.

J f A man may have what is generally regqj*T ed a finished education, and be nothing at last but a veritable fool. It is no difficult thing to meet with an individual who reads Latin, Greek, and several modern languages fluently; is posted in all, or many of the natural sciences, and has the history of the past and present at his tongue's end, ana suii, witn all these attainments, is little better than the illiterate son of ignorance. The man with all his literary and scientific attainments wants common sense. "We see young men commence life with a handsome property, with an enviable position in society, and end it in I poverty and disgrace. In nine cases out of ten such persons want common sense. We often see men wasting their property, destroying their physical constitution, and blighting their mental powers with strong drink. Such men, whatever they may have, do not have 1 common sense. The instincts of brutes guard i, them from such degradation and ruin. Charity bids us pronounce the soicide insane; truth , requires us to proclaim the inebriate and ! prodigal destitute of wisdom. The powers of Socrates' mind consisted not , in a wonderful knowledge of books, but in an i accurate understanding of human nature. The beauty of Shakspeare's poetry consists not in smooth verses,.or in well chosen rhymes, but in saying things that are in perfect harmony with hj^parrmature?in siraply;'"common sense. The same is true rejecting the proverbs of Solomon. Aside from their spiritual character,' they are beautiful oh account of the amount of common sense which they contain. { T ^? 'I ) Some men seem to thinlc that eccentricities are signsof mentaT^w^.^TfiirwbiTSrth'tSkS differently, and it is well that it does.;"Ecoehtric men may be 'smart, but not wise or great. There were no'erratic notions in the brain of JuliuB Caesar, Oliver Grortiwell, or" Napoleon Bonaparte. Martin Luther, John Knox or John Wesley were not guilty of perpetrating acts or uttering sentiments which made tangents to: the innate feelings of the human heart, or did violence to the discernment of the multitude. These men revolutionized the world in a political and moral point of view. Eccentric men may gain the admiration of a few friends who are blind to their follies, but the man who would be a great and good man, must be a roan of common sense. r- -ji V.-':.' .! : ?

As will be seen from our report of the pro-! ceedings of Congress, the House, on Thursday last reached a vote on the bill to suppress the Ku-Klux, and passed it by a strict party vote. The original measure, as first introduced by Shellebarger, was materially modified, though the (me that passed is, nevertheless, a stringent one. It provides for -the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and empowers the president to use the regular army to arrest offenders and hand tfiem over to the United States marshal. The bill, as it passed and wan sent to the Senate, may be summed up as follows: Firet Conspiracies, or the combination of ' a 1? 1 e two or more persons to deprive any uuu? ui persons of equal protection of the laws, are defined as felonies; punishable in United States courts by fine and imprisonment, while the injured parties have recourse therefor damages. . Second. In case of obstruction to the laws of a State or the United States so as to deprive any person of any privilege, immunity, etc., and the State authorities are unable or fail to afford protection, or to apply to the President for protection, the President may use the national forces, thereby meaning, it is believed, the militia as well as the army, to arrest any offenders and hand them over tO the UnitHI Tim "'I icuii la MTfved, Which^ requires thd rfiilitary ? to hand a list of imprisoned persons to the United States courts, and then if the term adjourns, and no indictment isfbdnd, all such are to be discharged. Third. After proclamation, the President may suspend the writ of habeas corpus till the 1st of June, 1872, whenever and wherever he finds numerous unlawful combinations. Fourth. The iron clad or teet-oath for jurors in the United States courts is abolished; but the judge may exact an oath of the juror that he has never belonged to the Ku-Klux. FRANCE. According to the intelligence from Paris, the situation in and around that city is daily growing more alarming. Fighting between the antagonistic parties commenced in earnest on the 2nd instant ; < - About fifty thousand men, under the revolutionary leaders Bergerot, Flourens and Menotti Garibaldi, marched out of Paris by the porte Neuilly, "on Versailles," but the force was cut in two by a sudden, and terrific fire from the loyal garrison in Fort Valerien, a severe engagement followed, and the revolutionary forces, were routed with heavy loss. Flourens, who has been foremost among the revolutionists, was among the killed. Fighting has been in progress on various parts of the line almost incessantly since last Thursday, and the slaughter is described as terrific. Within Paris the reign of terror continues, the priests and the wealthy class being the principal sufferers. German intervention is now regarded by some as the only hope for the restoration of order. The latest intelligence predicts a desperate struggle at the gates of Paris, though it is thought to be President Thiers' policy to reduce the city by investment in preference to forcing an entrance by fighting. The insurgents in Paris have had a conflict arttong themselves, originating in a refusal of some of the conscripts to go outside the city to fight, and more trouble from this source is probable. The desperate excesses and sacrellgTous proceedings of the insurgents continue, and it is feared bloodier scenes will be enacted in Paris than ever heretofore known. In the meantime the ex-Emperor and Empress are quietly watching the course of events from their retreat in Engand; and it is further reasserted that Bismarck is favorable to the restoration of Napoleon. / "KU-KLUX" CONSTITUTION. The Charleston Republican prints a document which purports to be the "Constitution of the Council of Safety of South Carolina," which "Council of Safety," that paper surmises is the veritable Ku-Klux Klan, and that the constitution alluded to is the law of that secret organization. Of the genuineness of the document the Republican has no doubt, and in commenting upon the condition of affairs as now existing in this State, it gives utterance to the following language, the suggestions contained in which, for the good of the whole country, we hope, will net pass by unheeded. We have ever deprecated all secret political societies, as being inductive of harm; and the existence throughout the South for the past five or six" years of the midnight loyal league association, controlled by the most selfish, mercenary men, having given a supposed, if not real cause, for a counter organization, the present state of affairs is not at all surprising. We urged months ago that the Union League is the prime cause of the Ku-Klux. Remove the one, and the other will as surely disappear. The Republican tacitly makes this acknowledgement. It says: "We have evils, almost heart-breaking evils to contend with, it is true ; but the remedy cannot be found in these secret agencies, which continually fever the entire body of the.. State; and so, after all our long and tiresome struggle, we shdl find, in lopping these evils^ that there is no way one-half so good as the1 good old way of our fathere, the steady, pet* sistent w6rk on the side of right, ever hopefaf and patient, ever mindful of the best lessons of the ages, and above all, ever acting "openly ' {fad above board," so' that all* measures fot the public good mav be thoroughly^xriticisedi. inasmuch as only through criticism, ?u*nnd open, can we be assured tha^ we have takei^ the right direction to gain ttietrue and bless- ' ed highway for our people which we know lie*' somewhere ahead, where: We may walk prosperously happily, peacefully. Let us nam done with these, secret organizations.*- W?1 speak not of the Ku-Klux alone, We speak of all secret political organizations whatsoever/ All. Even including the Union'" League^ Let us put them away. Let us now openl/ grapple with our difficulties, and the very, fact that our efforts are open, will, cause many of those difficulties to vanish. We know thatonr advocacy of the doing away of the Union League will beoonaidered as treason by many ! Republicans; but we cannot help it; weToug ago came to the conclusion that it lHouW be abandoned. It may have been of good in its day, biit, even if it was of good, this doesnot change the fact that its day is past. Let us abandon all secret political organizations Klux, White Man s Brotherhood, and Union League, and unitedly bend all'our energies to' the redemption of Carolina.'' ^ stateItems. ?

A package of money containing some $13,000 was overlooked by the burglar, and was not taken.

He reviewed at length the''condition ] of affairs in North and South Carolina/ alleging that corruption fraud and villainy Teigned j ygxgdne, (hat thepeopjo; were" plundered- *vf- * ^heir shbetance by an army of carpet-baggers, that the debt of the1 8tates had been enor- r tnously increased, Ac. ,!The Senator from Indiana, (Mr. Morton) had the other day fa- J , vored the Senate with extracts from demo- ' cratic papere of Kentucky. He (Mr. Blair) proposed to give now some extracts from radical ;papers Of South Carolina. Mr. Blair then quotedfrom various republican papers' j?South Carolina, severely commenting upon the venality of the Legislature. He also quoted from remarks of Governor Scott that one of the greatest curses afflicting South Caroli- J na was the horde of unscrupulous adventurers from the North coming down there for pur- { poses of plunder. Mir. Blair further read an 1 j account of personnel of the SouthCarolina Legislature. Of the whole body but thirteen were white, and of the remainder?all blaoks, J % 1 bnt nineteen could read and write grUmmati- J igfc h; Mr. Sherman admitted that the Legislature of South Carolina had" behived shamefully, but he Would ask the Senator what remedy ' did he propose fb'r it? Did he fevor universal amnesty ? Because if he. did, he (Mr. ' Sherman) would probably agree. Did he ^ propose to take thesuffrage from the negroes? < Because if he did, that Would fee a subject for debate. But if the Senator proposed no remedy, he had certainly no right to bring these ' ^matters in here. Mr. Blair had a'right to it; he had a right < to arraign this body for striking doWn the < very vital principle of free government, for, ' destroying local self-government. Mr. Sawyer corroborated the statement of 1 Mr. Sherman that every one voted in South 'C&rolina.and Mr. Sawyer said there were not * over 2,500 in the State debarred from hold- 1 ing office by the fourteenth amendment Mr. Blair thought the Senator was very much mistaken.

Mr. Sawyer.?-A sentiment. Mr. Blair.?A principle. It was a princi- : pie, and he was glad that the democratic party adhered to principle in spite of the loaves and fishes. He was glad that the democratic party refused to share the plunder with the carpet-baggers. Mr. Blair continued further in reviewing i the condition of other Southern States, whose j debt, he said, had been so enormously inoreas- < edunder radical rule. . .. i The House continued. discussing the Shellebarger bill until Thursday, the debate having been participated in by a large number of members from all sections of the Union; Mr. DeLarge, colored, from South Carolina, 1 gave his views of the question. He said that he had not expected to see party lines drawn 1 so close, in a matter of such importance. ;. He ] thought that during the Rebate it had been i fully shown that anarchy existed, and that i legislation was necessary. He said that both : parties were responsible for the condition of j things in the Southern States, and called at- 1 tebtion to the fact that Governor Scott, of South Carolina, had called in to, consult with 1 him a number of. citizens, a majority of whom i were disfranchised under existing lawB, and asked if it could be expected. .that these men \ would use their best endeayors to preserve < the public peace wben they had nothing fur- i ther to expect ? Butler figured more conspicuously than any 1 other member, and had several altercations 3 during the debate.

W ??- An article in the Charleston New forebadows the probable formation of one or lore new political combinations in this State ithin the next year and a half. It is said lat DeLarge, one of the colored members of i u -i* /? it _ rii.i , M ingress ana a native ot tne state, is one ox le movers, and that he proposes to make a love at the proper tame in behalf of conseratism as distinguished from the radicalism hich has hitherto prevailed. His recent )urse indicates as much. It is said that Raner, Beverly Nash, Wimbush, Smalls and her colored men are in favor of the moveent, and the following plan for a platform is been mapped out: 1. A proposal to the Chamber of Comerce and Board of Trade to repudiate the itire indebtedness of the State. 2. A convention within two months for the ganization of a new party based strictly on telligence and integrity. 3. The exchange of mutual guarantees bereen the races, wherein the colored leaders ily ask that their present civil and political jhts shall not be disturbed, and that they all have a fair representation in the offices the State government, in return for which ey will pledge themselves to unite with the ntes in the election of the heat men to office. 4. The nomination of James L. Orr for Governor in 1872, or any other man who has 1 the confidence of the two parties. \ The New says that as "an offset to the J above movement,^ has heen. determined by. ! - Parker, Neagle, and other members of the j State Government, to organize what will be ( hereafter known as "the respectable*ftejhjbli- ] can party." - >. . i < Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. . ^^LEIIE& Plloil CHESTER j Chester C.

At one time, when I read ti in the newspapers the rascalities of Scott and tl his infamous crew,T supposed the statements si to be mere assertions without proof, or ma- si licious slanders gotten up by parties whose ta prejudices were excited against all who claim- oi ed to be republicans or radicals, on account of si the active part that the republican party had oi taken in manumitting the slaves at the South ;, fc but my short connection with that party has <L opened my eyed and made me tee clearly that vi nine-tenths (or perhaps more) of the leaders ' of the Bepublican party of the State of South yt Carolina, neither possess honesty Or decency, si All their thoughts and their whole souls being in bent on fraua and plunder. The saying, In "honor among thieves" may perhaps hold good v( among those whose avaricious and roguish sfa dispositions bind them together to dupe the er ignorant negro, and thereby secure his vote, ta so as to enable them to plunder the property ne holders, and also to keep the laborer in pover- fa y by low wages; but when they can unite with them for a time an unsuspecting subject, hey victimize bim completely. The maxim, 'honor among thieves" in his case, does not-? aold good, for he is not one of them. They Irain nim of money by all sorts of pretences >r pretexts, especially if be baa been favored bywing appointed to an office, not only conturning the profits of his office, but also his asm property. So. soon, however, as they are aware that than victim has. been thoroughly plainly perceives their deep and. damning villainies, and he is no longer likely . to be doped or drained of money, he is at once removed arid some one appointed whom they suppose to be uninitiated or will be a new subject, provided he is not one of their thievinggang; but in cms he is one of that gan& then the maxim, "honor among thieves," 1 presume, holds good; and he retains his position without bong victimised. I have expressed to you my feelings toward, and my opinion of, that infamous gang of thieves who now, for a time, control the destinies of my native State, and do so, influenced neither by fear nor favor, as I will never again receive an appointment &om the Scott ring, and now feel ashamed to acknowledge that I ever have; nor do I ever expect to resume my old profession (school teaching) in my native State.
