A very destructivo conflagration occurred at El?
mira, N. Y., on Saturday evening. Twenty-four stores
wore destroyed, involving a loss of more than
$300,000, which is insured for only about half that

Lases, but tho most of the insurance is in State
institutions.
Tho Troy Whig states that the measles has
been raging in that city to an unprecedented ex?
tent for several weeks past, but tho disease is now
' somewhat abating. One physician has been called
in over three hundred cases, but has had the good
fortune to lose only one or two patients. There
have been nearly on? thousand cases in Troy
within a month.
On Friday evening last, as the train from Rich?
mond reached Petersburg, a small boy jumpod
from the truck undor a car, covered with frozen
mud from head to foot. An inquiry revealed that
he had slipped under the car when it started from
Richmond, and gottiug upon the rod to which the
brakos are attachod had placed his arms through
the truck, and in this position rode the whole dis?
tance.

On Saturday morning a<3 tho Eastern train on
tho Shore Line from Providence, R. I., was about a
mile from that city, the engineer discovered the
body of a man lying between the rails. Owing to
the icy state of tho track the train ran about a
mile before it could he stopped, when it was backed
down, and it was found that the man was unin?
jured. He was dead drank, and the whole train
gassed over him without waking him from his stu?
por"?
Th? Postoffic? at Elizabeth, N. J-, was robbed of
nearly all the letters on Sunday mornirjg, b*?0re
daylight. Several checks and notes were found,
besides tools of various descriptions, in the rear
of St. John's Church. The office was lighted with
gas during the night, and a police officer was fre?
quently passing and repasting until 4 o'clock A.
M. This is the second time within a month the
office has been broken open.
French official statistics state that during the
six months terminating in May last, six thousand
seven hundred and fifty-five communes in France
were provided with adult schools. These afford?
ed education io one hundred and seventy-three
thousand two hundred and fifty-six men and thir?
teen thousand five hundred and thirty-seven
women and girls. The average payment was one
franc and eighty centimes monthly. In two thou?
sand seven hundred and seventy-five schools the
teaching was gratuitous.
A murderous affair occurred in Nashville on
Christmas evening, between a party of tho 34th
cavalry and a party of policemen. The former
were cheering for LINCOLN and the Union, when
tho latter came up with an answering cheer for
JEFF. DAVIS. A disturbance followed, in which
EDWARD CBE'GS, a soldier, was shot, and died in a
few moments. Sergeant H. BISHLEY also received
a serious wound in the head. Great excitement
exists over the affair, and the soldiers are making
threats of vengeance. i
Tho Richmond papers state that the late order
issued by Major-General J. M. SCHOFIELD, direct?
ing the Freedmen's Bureau officers throughout the
State of Virginia to take immediate possession of
all horses and mules which belonged to the United
States, found in the possession of private citizens,
has been revoked. The order revoking it annuls
any action which may have already taken place,
and requires thar all animals taken by General
SCHOFIELD'S agents shall bo restored to the parties
who held them in possession.
The Philadelphia Enening Bulletin, (radical) in?
sists that "the most onerous and odious of all
taxes, the income tax, should be removed. At the
time it was imposod it was the general under?
standing that it was essentially temporary, and a
year or two would see its end. Its heavy amount,
made in a single payment, its inquisitorial nature,
and the publicity given to private affairs, all unite
to malte it an especial subject of dislike. It should
be the first repealed, and as many others as possi?
ble should follow after."
The London correspondent of Saunders' Newslet?
ter says: "Tho betrothal is just declared of perhaps
our vory wealthiest marriageable lady (for Miss
BURDETT COUTTS I look upon as already wedded to
her good works). In the marriage of Earl BEAU?
COUP? with Miss DUNDAS CHMSTOPHEB HAHUI^-TON
NiSRETTjOacVpa&?nymio is understood to imply
afortune. Lord BEUJCK.YSIP succeeded last year,
by tho death of hi? brother; tb forty thousand a
year. But his bride will ultimately succeed to an
income of moro (han? Bixty thousand a year, to say
nothing of an immense and increasing amount of
eady money.'*

SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2U, 1SGG. j
TUE COMMERCE OE ~C?A~RLESTON~. j
A look along the wharves gives an observer
the opinion that thc commerce of this place is
gradually, but surely, advancing to a prosper?
ous future. The quays, which have been
placed in better order than had ever before
characterized them, have presented in the
number of vessels moored there a lively and
animated appearance. Some of the ships are
large carriers, and will take cargoes of 3000 to
4000 bales of cotton each. Thc number of
steamers engaged in the commerce of the port
are greater than at any former period, and are
being placed on every route giving thcloast pro?
mise of support. It is true that our agricultural
resul's for the present season do not give them
very flattering propects of employment, but,
with the determination which most persons ex?
hibit to lend their efforts to thc development of
thc land, it ?B to be hoped that th'.- ntrt year
will place this feature in a more Haltering
light. .
VOX POP ULI.
Governments, like so many other human in-j
stitutions, roll in cycl s. Thc earliest form of
government in air _-t every people of whom
we have any record, whether historical or only ?
legendary, is either patriarchal or theocratic.
In neither case is there any recognition of
J the voice of the people ns an authority. The
average of mankind were clearly not. consider?
ed competent to have a voice in public affairs.
In thc course of lime, when the original family
attains to the proportions and dignity of a
nation, the patriarchal insensibly assumes the
form of the monarchical government ; und, as
constitutions and other checks, known at the
present day, were then unheard of, a monarchy
was synonymous with our modern autocracy or
despotism. This naturally, in thc course of
human infirmity, would, in every instance, soon
degenerate to tyranny and oppression, and
rouse opposition. Ancient history, both sacred
and profane, is hence found full of plots and
conspiracies. Dynasties were of brief dura?
tion, and the assassins knife usually the in?
strument effecting such changes. After repeat?
ed trials, when a people had at last found that
King Stork was worse than King Log, there
would he a general revolution, an2. an oligarchy,
or perhaps a republic, the result; all such
changes, however, only effected after long and
bloody internecine wars. A peaceable change
of dynasty 8r 9f government is rarely found
on me annnisr
The philosophers of all ages have revelled in
a beau ideal of popular government. A model
republic was the dream of PLATO, and of every
sage since his day. But alas for the imperfec?
tion of our species. The fabric so beautifully
conceived by the glimmer of the midnight lamp
but seldom is found to have sufficient vigor to
endure the brilliant glare of the noonday sun.
The Republic of the study is a perfect p^ce of
mechanism ; and is not found to "^0rK- in "prac?
tical life, only because the, philosopher assum
ed as postulates what cannot be conceded, viz.: !
the" moral perfection of ?very citizen. No due
allowance is made f or human infirmities. And
precisely here 'is the rock on which the theory I
of vox pttpuli vox dei splits. History almost
'.^variably narrates that, after a people have ?
tried a republican form of government for a
number of years, they again seek relief in the
monarchy. This is the experience of both
ancient and modern history.
There perhaps never was any country where
the voxpopvli was as supreme as it is to-day in
the United States of America. Universal Suff?
rage, as the term is here understood, was never
anywhere the indiscriminate privilege of the
masses. That all .men are born free and equal
is a discovery not made till the latter part of
the eighteenth century. Every man is as good
! as every other man,-as well qualified to be
! stow office, or to hold office. This is the theory
! of our government, but inasmuch as SOLONs,
I SOLOMONS, PLATOS, MORES and BACONS are
I not of more frequent occurrence hero than
elsewhere, the vox popuU in the United States
is exercised very much as it was in Athens, in
Paris, and in many other places where it has
been tried and found wanting.
The voice of the people in our Northern
States, we are told, is the expression of the in?
telligence of the nation. What are the facts?
In the first place, is this population really in?
telligent, as is claimed, and properly educated j
to an understanding of the privilege of the I
franchise, and a sense of the accompanying re- !
sponsibility ? This is not an easy question to
answer. If we may judge from their expo?
nents of public opinion, the press, the pulpit,
the forum, the village school and district
library, we should unhesitatingly say NO.
But to least advantage do we see these same
sovereign electors at the hustings. A general
election anywhere in any State, North or West,
is equivalent to a general riot, a general up?
heaval of society. For months previous the
demagogue goes from place to place, harangu?
ing the independent voters. The speaker may
perchance bo well and correctly informed in
regard to the state of the country and its wants,
If so, he will take the greater care to conceal
the truth from his hearers. In very many in?
stances, however, the demagogue is as ignorant,
intolerant, bigbtted and narrow-minded as the
people he addresses, in which case he can talk
the more glibly, and his words must carry sure
conviction to the minds of his intelligent (?)
auditors. _
Take, for instance, the late elections for mem?
bers to tie Fortieth Congress. Our readers.,
have a general idea of Borne of the- means to
which the Radical party resorted to compasa
ita ends. They saw the leading New York
journals,from time to time. But these, it must
be remembered, ara the most respectable of the
tribe. They are so universally read that they 1
j cannot, in common decency, take such liberties
; with truth as ie done every day hy the host of
J provincial journals. Tho Radical sheets of
I Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit, are habitually
unscrupulous, and lull of tho bitterest invec?
tive. The press of the smaller towns in the
interior is still worse. They can fearlessly
sr.;/ what they list, strong in the consciousness
of not being read outside of their "town." V?'e
must not forget D. D. FORKS:*', and his "two
dailies" in Vfushington and Philadelphia, in
the calendar of infamy they merit, a very con?
spicuous place. I3 it asked why we dwell so
long on thiB subject? Because thc press, more
than all other instrumentalities, manufactures
public opinion; and it is fair to infer thc
character of this voxpopuli, when wc arc thu;
enabled to scrutinize thc teachers.
No phraseis more common of late with North
ern politicians than that of "the verdict of tin
people." Does any one ever ask how it wai
obtained? No, and for good reasons. Th?
National Republican, in a recent leader on thi;
subject, enumerates the slanders that wen
made to pass aB current coin during the can
vass,-by means of which this ." verdict" wa
secured. They studiously taught thc people i
believe that thc President was endeavoring t
obtain despotic sway, and that, on the assein
bling of Congress, he would secure to the South
ern States representation with tho aid c
Federal bayonets; that JOHNSON would resis
Congress and revive thc rebellion ; that he ve
fused to have JEFF. DAV;s tried for treasor
whereas now it is found that Judge C?A'&B i

They told their constituents that JOUNSO
was turning all the Republicans out of office
and putting in Copperheads; that he was
party to the assassination of LINCOLN ; that h
was a drunkard, and a man of dissolute habits
that he and Mr. SEWARD were screening Jon
H. SrjRRATT from justice, when, at that vcr
time, thc agents of thc Government were tal
ing thc necessary measures for his arrest.
They employed BROWNLOW, HAMILTON, RA?
DOLPH, and others, black and white, wh
travelled through the length and breadth 1
the North and Vf est, known as "Thc Souther
Loyalist Troupe." These men were spcciall
hired to tell tho most flagrant stories about ti
South, and inflame the popular mind again
the President.
They charged JOHNSON with having instiga
cd the New Orleans riot, when now it is fouii?
by the official pspers, that Mr. STANTON, tl
only Radical in thc Cabinet-neither nnswcr<
Gen. BAIRD'S dispatch of thc 28th of July, r
ccived two days before tho riot, asking fi
" instructions at once by telegraph," nor pc
mitted thc President to see it, that he mig
answer it, and thereby have prevented t!
riot, and that Mr. STANTON, therefore, shou
be held responsible for the rict and bioodsh?
in New Orleans in July last.

the people ?hat ANDREW J?HNB?H waa a usui

Misdemeanors, and on thc first day of the p
sent session articles of impeachment agai:
him would be introduced into the House.
They now forget all these, not to say i
warrantable and undignified, but infamou
wicked and utterly false assertions, says 1
Republican. Such has been the stock in tr;
with which the public mind has been filled
the Radical press and orators during the wh
of the last canvass until many of the good p
pie come to think that the Chief Executive
the nation sits in tho White House upoT
throne, and has cloven feet and horns upon
head-a complete devil.
The people will not forget these charges,
was through them that a terrible prejudice ^
wrought up against the President, until we h
what is now called " the verdict of the people.
"SENATOR "ROBERTS, of Texas, paints a horr
picture of affaira in that State. He says t
Iwonty-seven hundred freedmen have been n

Detroit Post, one of the most malignant she
published in the country. Nothing relatinj

same copy of the Post has an editorial abu:
