There will be one bridge over the Seine and one tunnel over it. Three fourths of the railway and its branches will be in tunnel or covered way. -From Mexico cia Havana we learn that the revolt in Sinaloa has become serious, and moro troops have been sent to General Corona, who is in command of the Mexican forces in Mazatlan. The insurgents are reported to bo within twenty mileB of the latter city, and are said to number twenty-five hundred men. -The Missouri Radical Convention was per? manently organized at St. Louis on Saturday last. Among the resolutions adopted was one affirming that the sovereign political power ot the republic is vested in the people, and that, under the Constitution of the United States, Congress represents that sovereignty. Tho resolutions close with an endorsement of tbe acts of Congi ess. -"Professor Palmer, tho Fly Man," who has been exhibiting in London, walking on a glass ceiling with his head downwards, fell head foremost the other evening. The ceiling was eighty or ninety feet from the ground, bat a netting was spread for him about thirty feet below the ceiling. He struck upon tbe back of his neck just within tho netting, and was scarcely injured, but the escape from a terri? ble death was very narrow. He did not finish the performance. -Petitions are announced as having been signed in England, by nearly 14,000 persons, praying that single women and widows, duly qualified as ratepayers, may bo allowed to vote for members of Parliament. The move? ment is supported by Lady Anna Gore Lang? ton, Lady Amberley, Sir George Bowyer, Mrs. Somerville, Sir Rowland Hill, Tho O'Donnog hue, Mary Howitt, Lord Romilly, Lady Gold amid, Rev. Charles Kingsley, Sir J. Simpson, M. D., Mr. Goldwin Smith and others-cer? tainly a good array of names. -A special dispatch from Philadelphia to the Washington Express says: Outside of stocks and gold gambling, fears are entertain? ed that the unsettled state of the political ho? rizon will act with damaging effect on the spring trade about to open. Tbe President's inton ion of testing the constitutionality of the civil tenure bill in court is understood heie by the thinking few, and they chuckle at tho act of the Radicals in Congress in convu'sing the country. The reaction, it is thought, will be damaging to not a few of the over-ambitious gentlemen in the House. -A French paper gives an anecdote of the balls at the Hotel de Ville, where the company is usually lather "mixed." Here ono moots all classes of people, a fact which proves, as M. Delrieux said in the Situation newspaper, the liberal principles of M. Haussmann. At the last ball the Countess de C-discovered coming towards her a flowering waistcoat, whioh asker! her hand for a quadrille. "Thank you, Mon? sieur," replied the Countess with great polite? ness, recognizing the wearer of the waistcoat; '1 am not dancing to-night; the shoes which yon sent me home this morning hurt me hor? ribly." -The N. Y. Tribune of Monday morning takes very Btrong ground in favor of the impeach? ment of President Johnson. It says "there is so avoiding this conclusion-no explaining it away-i o middle course. Congress must as? sume the responsibility of impeaching him. Not to do so, in the face of this flagrant and insolent proceeding, is to become partner in the crime. It is no time to consider party in? fluence of impeachment, or its effects upon Presidential candidates. We would rather see the Republican party, candidates and all, driven to the deserts of Arabia, than to have them tremble one moment in the presence of this high duly." -The New York Timos is alarmod at the preference shown by Mr. Stanton, editor of the Revolution, for handsome men, in Wash? ington, aa the most meritorious statesmen. The Times remarks : "It is scarcely necessa? ry" [scarcely necessary, indeed!] "for us to add that we cannot assent to any revolution which is to introduce such tests of political merit as these. When opera-glasses, instead of the constitution, are to determine qualifica? tions for office, when none bat good-looking men like Ben. Wade are to be deemed fit for the Presidency, and when tho handsomest men like our Senator Conkling aro to carry the day against all competitors, it is quito time for ordinary mortals to Mite their stand.' -Official ^presentations have been mado to General Hancock of the impossibility of meet? ing the indebtedness of the State of Louisiana, or of even paying itB officers. From the fact that tho payment of arrears of taxes being suspended by legislative action until 1870, the approp*-'"lion act having expired on December 31st, 1 General Hancock has therefore or? dered that licenses to trade, professions and occupations, together with the revenue duty and taxeB of the State shall be payable and collected in legal tender notes. Thc funds thud collected aie to be applied to the pay? ment of the judicial and civil officers of the State, and to other purposes specified. The appropriation act is also to bo continued as far as it may be applicable to the specified expen? ditures and assessments. -During thc war a Frenchman of the name of Cluseret took service with the United States troops, and se he had shortly before quitted the French army, in which he had attainod the rank of Captain, he waa made a general. He DAB since returned to his native country, and commenced the publication of newspaper arti? cles over the signature of "General Cluseret." The government was in high dudgeon, and made officiai proclamation that VL Cluscret wis nothing moro ic Franco than an ex-cao tain; but tono purpose, for he still continued to use the obnoxious signature. As the mili tarv title is highly esteemed in France, the authorities are not willing to let the matter rest, and M. Cluseret has been cited to appear before tho examining magistrates ^rx a charge of assuming a title to whioh he has rio fight in France-an act punishable by a heavy fine in that country. -A correspondent of the London Telegraph says that a road steamer, a machine like a small railway engine set upon three whoels, one in front and two behind, has of late fre? quently been 6eon travelling between Leith and Edinburgh. This machine woighs about fivo tons, is capable of diawinj? sixty tons at a slow paco on a good road, of going over the roughest road and climbing tho steepest, and of travelling over ploughed land with tho most perfect oise. Tho inventor is a Mr. lt. H. Thomson, of Edinburgh, who is also the in? ventor of various other ingenious pieces of mechanism. The letter referred to says : "The peculiarity of the new road steamer is that its three wheels are covered with larpo tires or hoops of India rubber, about five inches thick and two feet broad, hoing tho largest castings of India rubber ever made, and costing oach about fifty or sixty pounds. Tho India rubber tires take hold of the ground like an elephant's foot. Thuy spread over hollows and stones, and other obstructions sink into their elastic embrace. In short, they solve tho problom ot road steamers completely." CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 26,1868 The Struggle in thc Graulte State. All eyes are turned towards New Hamp? shire, as the first State that will speak through the ballot-box on the great issues of 1868. She elects her Governor cn the second Tuesday in March. The Radical candidate is WALTER HARRIMAN; while the Democrats have nominated JOHN G. SIN? CLAIR upon a platform denouncing the Con? gressional policy as revolutionary, urging the exercise of justice and magnanimity toward the South, favoring equal taxation and public economy, opposing repudiation, negro suffroge and sumptuary laws. At the Gubernatorial election in 186G the Radical majority was 4655, and in 1867 it was 3146. As the coming election is the first of any impor'ance of the elections of 1868, the result is awaited with intense anxiety by both parties. Neither money or pains have been spared on either side to secure the victory. The Radicals confidently insist that they will hold their own, while the Democratic party is equally certain that the Radical majority will be largely reduced, and it even hopes to carry the State. Many will regard thc issue as settling the question whether thc reactionary movement wTich developed itself last autumn is still in prog? ress, and as in some measure foreshadow? ing the reBult of the Presidential campaign. The revolutionary events now in progress at Washingson will add a new and living issue to a struggle which wa3 already suffi? ciently close and bitter. ? Cheek." The New York Tribune complains that, iu Now York, "corruption is thc rule and hon? esty the exception," and that, throughout the country, "millions are lost lo the rev? enue, taxation is increased, public confi? dence is destroyed and corruption is re? duced to a fixed science." And, to cap the climax, it proclaims that "herc is a chance for Mr. JOHNSON to execute the laws !" Under this present Congress, composed, in great measure, of the disciples of tho Tri? bune, Mr. J0HS8ON has about ns much con? trol of tho Executive Department of the government as the Emperor of China. The public corruption is due to the Republican party, which in controlling the nominations of the President, reliovcs him of all respon? sibility in relation to the conduct of the public officials. It is a notorious fact that all the public offices arc filled with Repub? lican nominees. It is a fact equally noto? rious that there was never such a corrupt and oppressive administration of public affairs since the time of the Roman Empe? rors. The whole responsibility belongs to the Republican party which has assumed all the functions of government, legislative, judicial and executive. The Republicans are responsible for every instance of pecu? lation, and every act of oppression, by any official of the government; for every theft of cotton and every application for bank? ruptcy; for every deserted plantation and every starving freedmau; for every obscene paper at the North and every tmeute at the South. A party which assumes every func? tion of government must assume every re? sponsibility of misgovernment. Black and White. The journals of Hayti notice with intense indignation the articles of the New York journals in regard to President Salnave and his government. They assign the re? sponsibility of these articles to "some in? disposed parties" at Port au Prince, who hope to bring the government iuto disre? pute abroad. And ihey warn said "indi? viduals" that "they will bc shortly found out, prosecuted and punished rigorously in accordance with the laws of the Republic." Wc commend to Congress the wisdom of these sable Republicans. Our Radi? cal legislators havo decided that no re? spectable white man shall have a voice in the affairs of the Southern Hay ti. Now let them, further, resolve to punish rigorously any person who shall ven? ture to criticise the acts of our amalga mationist rulers. Let them plainly declare that they will not recognize any man as a white man, unless ho has been a traitor to his State, or unless he has African blood in his veins, or unless he is willing to take an African son-in-law. They need not hesitate on our account; we can find people at Ihe South who will accept any terms. OUR GERMAN FELLOW-CITIZENS will read with interest the cab'c telegram, which we publish this morning, stating that a treaty has been negotiated by Mr. BANCROFT with the North Germitn Confederation, hy which all GrSfcaife who have resided five years Isbhc TniH-ii Slate?, and have become neural ?zed citizens, are exempt from the military-duty customarily exacted of them in their native larnl.
