I The fullness of the vote- eighty-three to thirty- , two-shows the deep interest which was taken j in the subject of the bill. The New York Ex- j press thinks that this result waa due lo the poor way in whioh the campaign was conduct- 1 ed by the Drew party. 1 -A bill was recently introduced into the < British Parliament to do away with public ] hanging, and it encounters so little opposition < that its passage is said to be assured. Upon ( this subject a correspondent writes : "The change in public sentiment on this subject daring the last five years has been something ' wonderful. Even twelve months ago such a ' bill would have stood no sort of a chance." 1 -Steel rails are becoming quite popular on t American railways. It is stated tbat the New E York and New Haven Railroad intend soon laying Borne four thousand tons of these rails ( in places where old ones need taking up. Steol rails, though they cost considerable more than ' iron rails, are cheaper in tho end, through 1 their strength, firmness and slight liability to i be rendered brittle by cold; and several roads throughout the country have already many , miles of track laid with them. -With reference to "short letters," a cor? respondent writes us that he has read of an English coal merchant writing lo his agent at tho collieries a letter coi. ta hiing simply a ";" to which tho agent, with equal brevity, replied with a ":" Tho correspondence meant "see my coal on," tho answer being "coal on." We have now got down to such exceedingly short letters that Mr. Sumner's "stick," written to Mr. Stanton, scorns almost to be prolixity it? self. - A New York letter says : "In the event of the removal of the President, Slr. Seward writes to his friends herc, 60 I am informed, that he will at ence leave the Cabinet. In Wall? street Mr. McCulloch's friends aro in doubt as to bis course in the same contingency, but those of them who sustain the closest business relations with him appear to be pretty con? fident that he likewise will resign his place. Horace Greeley is confidently spoken of as Mr. Randall's successor in the Postoffico Depart? ment. -A nobby dinner party for twenty was given by a lady in New York Wednesday evening. The cards of invitation were engraved in gold and enclosed in three-cornered envelopes with gilt edges. At dinner, the table cloth was of white velveteen, edged with gilt fringe, and the centre standard, a massive epergneof gold, with small baskets hanging from ic, loaded with lruit, fancy boxes, bon bons, etc. A large bouquet of rare flowers was placed near the plate of each guest, from which was suspend? ed the bill of fare, printed in gold letters on white satin ribbon. The waiters were dressed in crimson coats, kneo breeches, silk stock? ings, and powdered \vigs. -The Radical squabble for the vice-Presi? dential nomination grows warmer eveiy day. Messrs. Wade and Colfax seem to bo the most prominent candidates, and it is thought that one of these two will bo thc choice of the Chicagn Convention. Tho Western States are regarded as sure to vote for Colfax, while the influence of Ohio aud the Middle States will bc used in favor of Wade. It is thought that the Eastern States will be una ole to un ito upon a candidato from their section, and that Colfax willreceive their aid. The friends ot Wade count upon the vote of thc Southern States, but it is said that Wilson's tour in that region secured for him the vote of tho delegates, and he will transfer his strength to Colfax in order to defeat Wade. Both parties aro con?deut of success, and express their determination to abide by the decision of the convention. -Baltimore has a new hne of steamships to Europe, the only one now bearing the Ameri? can flag, and it feels reasonably jubilant over the fact, as announced by telegraph. The first steamer arrived on its hither trip last week, and thc occasion was celebrated by a grand procession, a banquet and great rejoicings. Forty years ago a similar demonstration was made at the inauguration of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, an enterprise which has render? ed a thousand miles of territory tributary to the trade of the city, and enhanced the value of property within its limits from $25,000,000 to $212,000,001'. The important commercial consequences which must follow the establish? ment of the Baltimore and Bremen line ot steamships aro estimated as even greater, in view of the commanding relations of Baltimore with tho principal producing and consuming regions of tho country, and the popular demon? stration was manifestly appropriate in celebra? tion of one of the jrreatest victories of peace. The trade in tobacco, cotton, rice, etc., be? tween Baltimore and Bremen is very large, having heretofore been carried on by sailins vessels, r.nd the establishment of this line must increase and facilitate tho business to a great extent. One very creditable feature of thc new enterprise is that the main impulse came from this side, thc Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company aloni advancing hall' the capital. Ono of the most satrccious aud substantial corpora? tions in the Old World ha6 also joined in thc scheme. CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, 18G8. Carpet Bags at a Discount. An intelligent and conservative gentle? man recently from the North assures us that the rule of these roving orators is as offensive to most people on the other side of the linc as it is to us. They are indig? nant at the political aspirations of the teachers and preachers who were sent here upon ph?anthropical missions, and who have used their official influence for per? sonal advancement rather than for thc pub? lic good. It is a case of moral delinquency which fair minded men arc constrained to reprobate. Thc policy of the Conservative Republicans is based upon thc fallacious idea that there are enough consistent and upright Union men at the South, natives of these States, to occupy the various local and Federal offices without being debarred by the test oath. They did not intend to make provisioa for the light armed foragers who are now scouring the country. The contempt entertained by our inform? ant for this class, now infesting every bal? lot box and skirmishing around every pub? lic office, seems io be shared fully by the editor of the New York Commercial Intel? ligencer. In a squib entitled "Somebody's Luggage." he remari?s that the man in the claret-colored coat was not more notable, politically, lu his day, as an individual, than the m.^n with carpet bags, seeking candidacy ?is constitution-makers in the South are in our period. Ile suggests that, if the people to whom these cormorants ap? peal are sensible, they will adopt the old fashioned practice, long prevalent in the North, in the relation of unfaithful ser? vants, and will get rid of the men with the carpet bags by "giving them the sack." The trouble here bas arisen from the idea entertained by ignorant electors, that these candidates were the representative men of :heir section, and that their elevation to : jffice would conciliate the favor of the rul- \ mg party at the North. They have had the ufluence arising from the possession of . money, the control of soldiery, the man- ? igeinent of missionary enterprises, office in ' church and State; and the beggars on horseback rode so dashingly th at they were j ?steemed to be princes from the kingdom ? )f Cockayne. The people of the North know these car? let baggers. The colored people of the ( South are beginning to find them out. They 1 viii call an African Mr. So-and-So; and .hey will invite Mr. So-and-So to hear a i speech and to eat a dinner; and they will ' permit Mr. So-and-So to take a hundred or .wo from the funds of a convention;-and then they coolly tell Mr. So-and-So that he i must expect no more. He must take a back seat. All the places of honor and profit belong to the carpet bags. He must turn against the Southern gentlemen, whom he has known and honored all his life, and vote for the carpet bags. He must tax his own State and tax himself to stuff the carpet bags. He must pay for every time he was mistered, and every time he was fed, and every time he voted in the convention or at the ballot box. Our col? ored people are simple and trustful-but they are not such fool3 as to let thi9 farce continue long. The simple fact is, that neither the car? pet baggers, nor the Northern whiles, nor the Southern whites, intend to establish African supremacy in these States. They will not permit it. The present contest is a contest between white men; and whatever bribes the Radicals may, for the present, give to the colored people in order to gain their voti s, the question which these last have to consider is just this-whether strangers and adventurers, or Southern gentlemen, shall control the fortunes of the State. General Meade's Adrice, The letter of General MEADE, which Mr. STANTON has sent to Congress, at its de? mand, contains some very sensible advice, which will, we h ^pe, gain attention. He shows that the vt.e on the constitution, in Alabama, was eight thousand one hundred and forty-four less than one-half the num? ber of registered voters; and of course the constitution was not ratified. General MEADE writes: "Acknowledging tho importance of thc State being at the earliest moment restored to her proper relations in the Union, I cannot tut look on the result ol' the recent election as an expression of opinion that the registered voters do not desire to be restored under thc constitution submitted to them, and in view of thc recent act of Congress, giving ratification to a majority of the votes cast, I would prefer seeing the convention reassembled for a revision of thc constitution, and the revised con? stitution submitted to the people under the new law. / am of the opinion thal a revised Constitution, more liberal in its terms and con? fined to the requirements of the Reconstruction laws, would, in Alabama-as I have reason to expect it Kill in Georgia and Florida-meet with the approval of the majority of the regis? tered voters, and I beg leave to call your attention to the difficulty of carrying on a government in a State where so small a population of those qualified to take part in the government are in favor of the or-1 ganic law; and to ensure a larger propor? tion of what must be the governing class, a more acceptable constitution should be pre? sented ' o them for adoption." Thc British in Abyssinia. _ Things begin to wear a very blue aspect for the English invaders in Abyssinia. We are now told that King THEODORE, contrary to anticipation, means to fight, and is by no means so weak as has been represented. It is stated t hat he is posted in a very strong position, between two rivers, near Lake Hink, with Magdala, thc place of confine? ment of the English prisoners, two days' march in his rear. The camp is situated in deep ravines, accessible only through mountain passes, that offer fine opportuni? ties for defence. The king has fifteen thou? sand men and six pieces of artillery. Gen? eral NAPIER intends to head the flyinj column of six thousand men, which has by this time fairly started for the attack of j Magdala. But if King THEODORE is as well prepared as has been represented, and maintains his defensive attitude, carefully avoiding a pitched battle, the English peo? ple may have reason to deplore the result. Sickness aud want of forage are terrible enemies for an expedition, like that of | General NAPIER'S, to encounter. New Books. NEW GRAMMAR OF FRENCH GRAMMARS.
