It is said a caucus of the Radical Senators was
held last Thursday, at which it was determined to
adjourn about the middle of July, unless some
unforeseen reason for sitting longer should arise
in the meantime. The constitutional amendments
were discussed, and it was decided that every at?
tempt should be made to harmonize the views ot
Senators, and that being dono, they should be
passed by a striot party vote. Tho caucus ad?
journed to meet again, when some final decision
will be reached.
The Washington correspondent of tho Philadel?
phia Sunday Mercury thuB writes : "The negroes
at the capital have taken complete possession of
all the public places, and on* Wednesday last we
counted two hundred and thirty-four contrabands
of the filthiest character in tho gallery of the
House, and as we left, in utter disgust and amaze?
ment, tho darkies were pouring in. A largo num?
ber of them had baskets with their dinner, which
they eat in the galleries, as though it were anr
eating saloon. ?
A band of outlaws went to tho houso of a man

hatchet, rushed to tho spot and succeeded with
heroic bravery in killing two of the ruffians, and
wounding others. The young lady and father
have since been driven from the county. The
origin of the difficulty is not known, bnt the
! family was Southern in sentiment during tho war.
i The London correspondent of tho Philadelphia
f Ledger says : "You will, perhaps, be* surprised to
learn that no less a sum than fifteen thousand
dollars has already boen raised in England as a
. testimonial to Captain M. F. MATTET, the former
superintendent of the Washington Observatory,
'in acknowledgment and appreciation of the emi?
nent and disinterested services, which, through
forty years of incessant labor, Captain MAURY has
rendered to science and mankind.' Tho Duke of
Sutherland heads the list, and the other names
are chiefly those of men who sympathized with
the South during the war."
Dr. DELEBT, coroner, says tho New Orleans
Orescent of the 25th, held an inquest yes terday on
the body of a young woman named JENNIE
MITCHELL, who had taken a fatal dose of lauda?
num, at tho house of MABIA WILSON, on Custom?
house-street. The deceased, according to the
evidence before the jury, was about twenty-two
years of age, and resided formerly in Waterloo,
Iowa. No definite cause for the. destruction of
her Ufo by the unfortunate woman has yet been
ascertained. Various motives have been attribu?
ted, but which of tn cm is the most plausible it is
almost impossible to decide. Tire verdict of the
jury of inquest was simply that she had taken a
dose of laudanum sufficient to cause her death.
Our sporting friends will be interested to read
the following account of the late Columbus (Ga.)
races. The Sun says : " Four horses were enter?
ed for a mile dash-"Princess," a b., by J. R.
IVET ; a r. g. by J. B. THOMPSON ; "Spot," a s. g.
by MUNDAY, and "Jennie," b. m., by JOHN CAL?
HOUN. Purse, $300. "Princess" gave thirty yards
to the field. She obtained the inside, the roan
gelding the next, "Spot" next, and "Jennie" out?
side. "Princess" had the whole way. At half a
mile, "Spot" passed the roan, and on the quarter
stretch Hashed by "Jennie.*1 "Princess" won the
race by fifty yards over "Spot" in 2.00. Then
came "Jennie" ten feet behind, and the roan some
twenty-five feet still in the rear. But little money
changed hands, aa the bettors didn't have it.
Arter half an hour's rest, a dash of half a mile was
run between "Princess," "Spot," and tho "Bow?
er's Pony," which was won hy the former in fifty
eight seconds. Next came "Spot," followed by
the "Pony."
The great annual meeting of the German Bap?
tist Church, commonly known as "Tuukers," has
been in progress for some days, near Waynesbo?
ro', Pa. The attendance of the membership was
vory'large, there being delegations from many of
the States of the Union, particularly from the
West. On Sunday an immense concourse of peo?
ple assembled on the ground, a large number of
whom were not members of the church, but "the
public generally," who always attend big "meet?
ings." It ia computed that at 12 o'clock on Sun?
day there were* present in the vicinity fifteen
thousand people. There was preaching on Sun?
day forenoon at two places in the tents, in a barn,
and at the church near by. After preaching,
fables were spread in the tents, which accom?
modated about nine hundred at each sitting.
These tables were replenished, and when one de?
tachment retired another was anxiously waiting
to tako its place.

CHARLESTON.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 30,1866.
NUISANCES.
In our issue of yesterday, we published an
abstract of several cases lately tried in this
city by a Military Commission. We propose,
to-day, to offer r few remarks on the subject,
suggested on reading these proceedings.
The first case-that of the freedman Alfred
Pelot, who was charged with the murder of
a colored woman-was one that offered much
food for thought. "With the guilt or inno?
cence of the accused we have^nothing to do.
Whether or not he was the murderer of Eliz?
abeth Williams, is not germane to our present
purpose. It is proven that this woman came
to her death in consequence of injuries re?
ceived at a ball in State-street, on the 16th of
April last. The pince is described as an
eating-hoase. We know nothing of it, except
what transpired in the evidence unbred before
the Commission. The assembly was clearly
of the character usually denominated disor?
derly, if not disreputable. The appearance
of the witnesses in this case, who hud been
present at the ball mentioned, and their char?
acter, as far as that oan be inferred from their
testimony, all go to confirm this view.
It can scarcely be necessary for us to for?
mally go to work to prove that a house or
assembly of this character is a nuisance, and
indictable as such. The case needs but to be
stated to carry conviction to every mind.
Of course, we do not wish to be understood
as implying that Military Commissions are
responsible for this state of things, or that
this particular Commission could do other?
wise than acquit the prisoner Pelot upon the
testimony offered. We only advert to tai
matter in this connection, because the evi
dence given in this case has revealed a stat?
of things reprehensible to any community
There are many such places in this city, ant
they are in almost every case kept by colore*
persons. Tho city police occasionally mab
arrests; the parties are brought before thi
Provost Court, and some slight penalty is de
creed against them, which,however consonan
with abstract justice, is nevertheless entirely
inadequate to obviate the continuance o:
repetition of the offenen.
And this, doubtless, will continuo to be thi
case as long as we shall have the presen
anomalous duality in the administration o
justice. "Why not let these parties be brough
before the same tribunals as whites, and triei
by tho same code ? Let one measure of jue
?tice be meted out to white or black. Justici
and equity know no distinction of color
These nuisances are loudly complains)
against, and it is said that every communit]
has it within its power to abate them. Thi
is considered one of the organic law6 of so
ciety. And yet, suoh is the presentconglom
erate system of our civico-military police
that this community is powerless as to an]
means wherewith to protect itself from evili
of this character.
In view, then, of all these consideration!
and difficulties, it is greatly to be desiree
that the United States District Court in thi
city should be opened. The Civil Bights Bil
invests it with jurisdiction in all cases ii
which colored persons are concerned. It
proceedings, therefore, will harmonize th?
justice administered to white and blaok. W<
have heard numerous inquiries made in re
gard to this Court, aid know it is the genera!
desire of the entire community that its por
tais be at once opened for the reception anc
hearing of causes.
THE A TLANTIG CA BLE.
The London correspondent of the Boetot
Post says that elaborate preparations arc
making to lay the Atlantic Cabio again, and
hopes are entertained that-eucb. improvements
have been made since the last attempt as will
render success far more probable. The whole
machinery for giving out and for picking ur.
the cable has been modified and tested bj
many experiments. Two high-pressure boil?
ers have been added, and will be at least sh
times the strength of the breaking weight
In the last trial, no preparations had beet
made for picking up the cable out of thc
ocean ; this will at the next be obviated. Am?
ple provision has been made to accomplish
this purpose on the Great Eastern. The ves?
sel itself has been made far more practicable
for the object aimed at Her keel and hull
have been very minutely cleaned, and they
are now amply fit for service. It ie antici?
pated that she will now be able to move at a
speed of nine knots an hour, even against the
sea. The Medway, a vessel of some 1823
tons, has been chartered to go in company
with the Great Eastern, the former carrying
several hundred miles of the old cable, to
provide for emergencies. Should a success?
ful voyage be made, this cable will be trans?
ferred to the Great Eastern. The Great East?
ern, it is estimated, will be some seventy days
out of the British port, and she will sail from
Sheerness late in June or early in July. It
will take three days to reach Beerhaven,
where she will lie nine days for coal. Fif?
teen days will carry her to Trinity Bay, and
five will be allowed for prospective delays.
It is hoped, therefore, that by the beginning
of Augutt, messages will pass between Great
Britain and America. The Great Eastern
will take in coal again at Trinity Bay, then
will assist the Medway in grappling, and will
return to Trinity Bay to lay the old cable.
Twelve days more is allowed for her to re?
turn to England, so that she will again reach
those shores the middle of September.
SOUTHERN RAILROAD CONNECTIONS
WITH CINCINNATI.
We see, by a Nashville paper, that the fol?
lowing gentlemen from Mobile are on an ex?
cursion to Cincinnati to present the claims of
Mobile as being the most direct for railroad
connections from that point to the Southern
valley of the Mississippi and the Gulf. We
would suggest to our delegation the necessity
of stirring themselves :
"Hon. Milton Brown, of Alabama; Col George
S. Gaines, Mississippi; P. Hamilton, Mobile; Col.
John Forsythe, Mobile; JamesD. Johnson, Mobile;
Ex-Governor John J. Mclfae, Mobile; Charles E.
Rushing, A. V. P.; Abram Murdock, Columbus,
Miss ; Owl Eli Abbott, Miss.; C. W. Williams,
Miss.; Ur. Alexander Jackson, Tenn.; Major R.
B. Hurt, Tenn.; J. W. Dearman, Tenn.; Winiam
Cook, Kentucky."
DANA.
We see it stated in the Chicago Journal,
that CHARLES A. DANA-infamous, libellous,
slanderous DANA, applicant for Collector of
New York, etc.-has boen compelled, by the
stockholders of the Chicago Republican, to
resign the position he holds upon that paper
as editor in chief. He need'nt apply to us
for a place.
AN exchange says that Senator SUMNER
tonk occasion the other day, when presenting
a petition for tho trial of Mr. DAVIS by court
martial, to Bay that his trial before a jury at
Riohmond at the present timo, would be one
of those great comedies which will hereafter
excite tho derision.of tho world. This fop?
pish and feeble pednnt, who aspires to be tbo
remodeller of republican institutions, and the
leader of the party which essays to govern
the country by the sublime moral ideas on
which it claims to be founded, and who has
published a volume of speeches, one of which
is devoted to proving that all wars are wrong,
and bloodletting for political purposes a mon?
strous crime, prefers that the DAVIS trial
should be by court martial, that it may be
transmitted to history as one of those great
tragedies which will hereafter excite' the hor?
ror of the world. '
