By the close of 1868,600 miles more are promised, and it is expected that by July 1st, 1870, the loco? motive will run the entire distance between New York and San Francisco in six days' time. Fifteen thousand men are employed in the con? struction of the Pacido railways. -In Boston, an effort is being made by the leading merchants to secure the construction of what they call a "mr rainal street, " which is apian to connect the various railroads wi th the harbor, so that goods can beat once traxs ltired from the cars to shipboard, or vice versa.

It ascended and descended at apparently irre? gular intervals, moving most of the time above the surface of the earth. Large stones and trees were caught up in the air and carried for a mile, and a church whos? congregation had gone to the river to attend a baptism, was swept clean away. -A telegram from Hong-K^ng states that the United States Minister to Japan, Genera Van Volkenbnrg, is at Osaca, and has made a demand upon the Mikado for indemnity for damages occasioned by the loss of property of America'i citizens in the late disturbance.

Dr. Sears, as agent for the Peabody Educational Fund, has appropriated $12,000 for the present year to aid existing schools in the chief county towns of Louisiana, on con? dition that they shall be free to all white chil? dren.

Lusher, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, subject to the approval of Mr. E. A. Bradford, of New Orleans, who is one of the trustees of the fund. -A Washington correspondent says that the contest between Wade and Colfax for the Vice Presidential nomination at Chicago is be? coming very warm and bitter. He thinks Senator Wilsi . wiU throw them both. Of the two, Wade seems to be ahead. He says : " Wade's friends have copies of the Blue Book at hand, and, if you can show to them that you can control a delegation, or even a vole, they hand you the volume, and tell you to pick out what you want. Thc devil on the mountain promising choice quarter sections wasn't a circumstance to Zach. Chandler and Judge Cartter promising the good things of the Federal Government to those who will lull down and do the square thing with sturdy Old Ben." CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, MAY ll, 1868. The City Government. The character of a city government largely depends upon the. qualities of its Mayor, and, at this critical time, it is of the first importance to place a shrewd, practical and upright man at the head of our municipal affairs. No man who might be elected would find the post of Mayor either easy or pleasant. The city is deeply in debt, its credit is well nigh exhausted,-its peo? ple are inordinately taxed,-its troubles and dangers seem every day increasing. This is no fancy picture, nor is it one-half the truth, and the next Mayor of Charles? ton must he the possessor of many rare qualities if he is to redeem our lost pres? tige and place our city once more on the high road of prosperity. The Mayor of Charleston should be the best and most reliable man in the city; not chosen for money or name, but because he is a man of integrity and worth, against whom slander has nothing to say, and who is willing to give up all his time and all his talent to securing the common good. Abuses have grown up insensibly in our midst, and unless they are rooted out there is no hope for us. The whole system of municipal government is out of keeping with the necessities of the times. There has been no progress but in the amount of the oity debt, no advancement but in the rate of taxation, no fortune but for the speculators, who grow rich while the work? ing masses grow poor. No city of its size has spent more money than Charleston has, and no oity has less to show for its expen? diture. There has been but little life and less progression, and unless a man can be placed at the helm who has experience, hon? esty and common sense as his pilots, Charleston will drift, into a state of thor? ough insignificance, and derive her only importance from her natural trade in sea crabs and oyBters. Then, again, it is impossible to say what emergencies may arise, requiring the dis? play of iron nerve and unshrinking cour? age. Charleston wants a living, breathing, thinking head-not a sign post or a mum? my. Every leak must be stopped, every expenditure leading to an increase of debt must be cut off, the city business must be done for cash, and not on credit. When the increase of debt has been stopped, meas? ures can be adopted for liquidating our in? debtedness, and, as the city has within itself all the elements of success, it is cer? tain that intelligent and rational govern? ment will raise her to a high position among her sisters of the South. It is not enough that the new Mayor may take the iron-clad oath. Swearing is not all-sufficient. The man we want is one who shall be indubitably eligible, and who will be prepared, besides, to carry out such a vigorous and enlightened system of admin? istration as will infuse new life into our city and relieve our people of the burdens which now weigh them down. The Marriage Tic. The new constitution proposed as the fun? damental law for this State in the future contains many innovations, more or less distasteful to our people; but of all its objec? tionable features, there is none which good and thoughtful men everywhere will so gen? erally unite in deploring as that which opens wide the door to divorce. There is no more certain sign of the moral decadence of a people than the ten? dency to disregard the sacredness of the marriage tie. South Carolina, in this re? spect, has long held a proud eminence. The faith plighted at the altar has been to her hitherto a holy thing. The good sense of her legislators has been keenly alive to tbe pernicious effect upon publio morals of any loosening of the obligations of the marriage contract. The ohivalry of her sons, the modesty and delioacy of her daughters, have alike revolted at the idea of tampering with so sacred a relation. And the pure and unsullied front which she has borne in the past has vindicated the wisdom of purity, and the policy of honor. "Matt nous avons change tout cela." The ruthless sword of modern "reform" has cut what has been heretofore a Gordian knot. The decree has gone forth. Unfashionable chastity and old time prudery must give way to the depravities, the licentiousness and the public scandals, so rife in the crowded" communities of the North. The world moves on, and we must not lng be? hind. General Conby on the Test Oath. The letter of General CANBT, sent to the House.of Representatives by General GRANT, on Wednesday last, says that, in his judgment, some action by Congress will be needed in order to remove one of the most serious impediments that has been raised, which, in the execution of the Reconstruc? tion laws, has grown out of the enforce? ment of the provision requiring all ap? pointees of the District Commander to take what is known as the test oath. In both the States of North and South Carolina, men, aotive and zealous friends of the Union, and of restoration, have been techni? cally debarred by this oath from any offi? cial participation in the work of reconstruc? tion, while many others, who would have taken the oath, have declined to do so from a sensitive fear that their motives would be misconstrued. A large number from this class have been chosen to office at the re? cent elections, and the difficulties hereto? fore encountered again present themselves, in both States, in greater magnitude. To oontinue the disabilities which exclude these persons, is to deprive the government still further of the services of intelligent and well-disposed men whose technical dis? qualification is their only fault, and whose aid is essentially important to the speedy organization and successful working of the new State governments. The removal of the disabilities, while it will not jeopardize any interest which it is the policy of the Government to conserve and foster, will, in General CANBY'S judgment, not only meet the approval of a large majority of the people of the two States, but will disarm much of the opposition which the new State governments must expect to encounter, and contribute generally to the permanent suc? cess of the work of reconstruction. THE PRESSURE of news matter and ad? vertisements upon our columns, this morn? ing, compels us to issue a supplement. The address of the Rev. Dr. HICKS, of Brooklyn, delivered last Thursday at the dedication of the Avery Institute, is now for the first time published in full. It is replete with "good and sensible advice to our colored people, and we hope that it will be generally read. for EfPt.
