About four hundred workmen are now .'. employed. -As an evidence of the decline of American . ?hipping, Consul Morse, at London, reports to the State Department that, whilst in 1861 there ". were two hundred and eight arrivals of Am erl - can vessels in London, in 1866 the number had declined to forty-nine. -The New York Herald reports that on Mon? day the rather mgniflcant event took place of j Senators Fessenden, Trumbull, Henderson, >ac Winkle, Grimes, Sprague and Chief Justice Chase going home in company to dine with the last-named gentleman. It may be a trifling . circumstance, but the impeachers take it sadly, to heart. -An exchange says that a hen has the ca? pacity ol laying six hundred eggs and no more. Usually they lay a few the first year; from three hundred and t-.enty to three hundred and seventy in the next three years; and the ? rest from the fifth'to the ninth year inclusive. Hie trae economy, therefore, io not to keep i hens after their fourth year. -There is a rumor afloat in Paris that the Sultan waa so well pleased with his late visit to the w estern capitals that he is going to repeat j it this onmmer, and will probably extend his trip ta the United States, in the history of J which he is said to take great interest. He fixes to make sea voyages, and the distance wul not deter him. -Sir Roheit Napier, Knight Companion of ate Bath and Grand Commander of the Order af the Siar of India, has been appointed by the Queen a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Or? der cf tbs Bath. The English papers, com? menting on this appointment,, states that Na? pier has taLenhis first step in the line of J promotion upon.the dead body of Theodorer -Queen Victoria is reported to have writ? ten an autograph letter to the widow of Thom? as D'Arcy McGee, expressing her sympathy and condolence, and how highly she apprecia? ted the exertions of Mr. McGee, daring his fife-time, for the imperial cause in the land of bis adoption. The Duke of Buckingham, it is | said, baa al8Q written a, letter to tho widow, conveying the regret of her Majesty's minis? ters that so able a statesman and so good a citizen should have fallen a victim to assassi? nation. -In Virginia, the Supreme Court has decid* sd that in debt? contracted in Confederate mo? ney, the amount shall be commuted into Fede? ral money, at the value of the Confederate ?taney when the debt matured, and not when it was contracted. It has also decided with re? ference to the distribution of the assets of the ofd Virginia State bants, that the noteholder . snail not have preference, but that they, the depositors and'all other creditors, shall share alike. -Sergeant Frank Forrester, of Company H, Twenty-ninth United States Infantry, who wrote to Mosby to propose a coup d'etat against Congress, has been sentenced by court martial to be reduced to the ranks and to forfeit a por? I Hon of his pay. General Emory, in approving the sentence, says it was doubtless pronounced under the belief that the offender intended only a practical joke, and he hopes it will serve as a warning to others who maybe disposed to joke on such subjects. Some Southern papers bad attributed the letter to a government de- j tec?ve, - -The quadrennial address of the Bishops of j the Methodist Episcopal Church, jost deliver? ed before the General Conference, now in ses? sion at Chicago, gives an account of the S o util? ero Conferences organized by meanB of the missionary efforts of the Methodist Church (North). At the CIOBO of 1867, the Southern Conferences had the following membership: Alabama, 9341; Georgia, 10,235; Holston, 23,720; Mississippi, 7899; South Carolina, 9668; Ten? nessee, 6100; Texas, 1581; Virginia and North Carolina, 671; total membership about 70,000. So rapid has been the growth of all these con_ Jerences that the latest statistics of three of | them, which have held an annual session since the beginning of 1868, swell the total member snip to 90,050. In Kentucky, Missouri and Ar? kansas there 'has been, during the past four years, an increase of 27,223 members. More? over, two colored conferences have been or? ganized, which have a membership of 26,187. -The New York Times says: "Mr. Forney baa been rather late in tendering his resigna? tion as Secretary of the Senate. If he had done it before impeachment commenced, it would have been more to bis credit. While liaising his office in the S?nate, and from the Senate, he has every day, in his two newspa? pers, indulged in the most virulent vituperation of every member of the Senate whom he sus? pected of exercising his judgment or intending to vote according to his convictions. His language has been perfectly shameless, now ringing from threat to invective, and now/rom pg??OBsl vinification to general rant. Of coarse it was not agreeable to senators to be thus tJaily held up to hatred and contempt, and oaie the object of threatenings and boliyinga ly their own officer. Last week several sena? tors brought his conduct to the attention of j the body in secret session, and from the feel? ing manifested there ia little doubt that he would soon have been removed from bis place, if he had not forestalled thia action by resig? nation." -The Secretary of the Navy, in reply to a Congressional inquiry, reports that over three hundred United States naval vessels have been sold since the close of the war. Many of these vessels were captured from the rebels. In some cases, where these captured vessels were small and would not pay the expenses of adjudication in a prize court, or were too unseaworthy to be sent to such a court for ad? judication, they were taken into the service and used, without compensating the captors. The Secretary says the United States Govern? ment acquired no title to captured vessels, ex? cepting by purchase from the courts, and pay? ment in the same way as if the vessels wore bought from private individuals. The pay? ment of prize money is made from the pro? ceeds of sales of captured vessels and other prize property, whether it be sold to the United States or to individuals, after tbe pro? perty is condemned. CHARLESTON. -o SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 16, 1868. Vp and Register. The registration lists are about to be re? opened, and every man in the State wno has not registered, and is qualified, should now go rip and inscribe his name. ' Every day shows more fully the importance of posses? sing the right to vote, and, although the military test of registration may soon be removed, every man should place himself I in a position to cast a vote, at any elections < held under military authority, against an? archy and disorder and in favor of progress and quiet. If the white people of Charleston will register to a man, if they will show the same anxiety to be qualified voters that is shown by the colored people, they will pos? sess a voting power which will be of great value at the elections which may be held in June. Registration costs nothing, and it makes certain the right to vote. When the new constitution is in force every man will have the right to vote, but until that time is at hand no man should fail to register. Nor should there be any delay because the books will be open for five days. The first day is the best day, and the fifth day the worst. Every moment of procrastination is fraught with risk. There is a duty to be done and it should be done at once. The Railroad to Heaven. "The American Railway Literary Union" is the title of a company of "gentlemen of ability and responsibility," who have formed aa association for the purpose of controlling the sale upon all railway and steamboat lines of books, magasines, news? papers, &o. The object of the Union, as appears from their schedule, is to dis? countenance the sale of the pernicious sen? sational literature which is now flooding the country, and to establish in their stead such other publications as in their judgment shall have a tendency to elevate rather than degrade the reader. We are furnished with an outline of the publications which, io the opinion of these self-constituted censors, conduoe to this praiseworthy result, and we gather therefrom that the tastes of the Union are less catholic than'evangelical. By far the most prominent in the list are "all Bibles of the common version and parts thereof, the publications of American and Foreign Tract and Sabbath-school Societies, and Denominational Publishing Boards," with others of that ilk. The mighty effect which this desirable change is sure to pro dace upon the manners and morals of the country at large, cannot fail to be per? ceived. Pious dairymaids and converted cobblers will take the place of the "Last Sensation" and "Beadle's Dime Novels," and the way to Heaven will be pointed out by benignant divines to the weary travel? ler, instead of the illuminated road to the other place, now so attractively portrayed by the feuilletonists of the Police Gazette. Imagine the comfort to the bereaved mother, whose son has paid with his life the penalty of the rashness which induced him to venture upon a Northern railway, when from the mutilated fingers of the corpse is extracted a crushed copy of "Crumbs of Consolation from the Basket of Grace," instead of the "immoral or vulgar" trash, which but for the benevolent Union might have disgraced his grasp. Fanoy the brands which this timely provision of the able and responsible gentlemen above alluded to will pluck from the burning ! Could there be a more charming prospect ? One almost feels disposed to. encounter what Madame ns STAEL called la tristate de plaisir, and to travel simply for the purpose of breathing so healthy and invigorating a lit? erary odor. And should it be suggested by some cav? illing critic that the contemplated project savors somewhat of that very objectionable idea to the free mind,-a censorship of the press,-that the schedule which these gen? tlemen offer is somewhat narrow and re? stricted in its provisions, and looks sus? piciously like an attempt to saddle the pop? ular taste with an individual prelerence; should the same critics go on to declare that the scheme seeks to establish a monopoly, and that the contract to furnish the travel? ling public an unlimited supply of well watered milk of the word is likely to re? dound largely and exclusively to the pecu? niary profit of the monopolists;-should any suoh carping suggestions be made and there are men who will find fault with the most laudable projects, on the most trivial grounds-we are sure the ingenuous public will treat the insinuations with the scorn they merit. TRADE J OURS ALS INCREASE in number in Great Britain. Several new ones have sprung up within the last few weeks. One is the Licensed Victuallers' Guardian, which possesses a fine moral flavor, and is safely recommended to serious barmen and bar? maids. Scripture and beer contend in its columnB for the first place. The Grocer ex? plains its character to English people by its title; so does the Draper; also the Bakers' Record. Another paper, the Tailor and Cutter, shows a high sense of the dignity of the calling it undertakes to represent. It is proposed to follow out the same plan ia the South, and a round dozen of start? lingly new dailies and weeklies will soon ? see the light. One will be called the ' 'Car? pet-bagger," and be devoted to an explana? tion of the safest and most profitable way of carpet-bagging. Another will bc called the "Picker and Stealer," and in it will be found all the latest news from the Southern penitentiaries, including a highly edifying serial tale, entitled "The Hero of Sing Sing, or the Fortunes of a Reconstructionist." A third will explain the mysteries of "What's Yours is Mine and What's Mine's My Own," with sketches of ingenious pickers and stealers who have grown rich by stealth and blush to find it fame. A CORRESPONDENT WHO had "an axe to grind" complains because we will not pub? lish his communication unless it is paid for at our regular advertising rates. "Public spirit," he says, should impel us to insert such matter without charge. When our printers, pressmen, paper-makers, ink makers, carriers and general employees will take payment in "public spirit," wo will do as our correspondent suggests, but j until the arrival of that newspaper millen ium all customers who have nothing but personal interests to serve will be referred either to the advertising counter or the waste-basket. Publishing a newspaper is not a piece of pure philanthropy, but a business which is expected to pay; and gra? tuitously advertising the claims of Brown, Jones or Robinson as "Keepers of the Parish Pump," or "Inspectors of the City Brooms,' is not a business principle. IN THE fourteenth constitutional amend? ment it is expressly conceded that every State has the right to say who shall vote in that State; but in order to prevent the Southern States from depriving the negroes of the right of suffrage, it is provided that the negroes shall not be represented in Congress at all unless the male negroes are allowed to vote. This, when ra ified, if | ratified at all, will be a part of the Federal Constitution; while the law providing for the admission of the States will at most be nothing but an act of Congress, not to say an unconstitutional act of Congress. Th? act will, of course, have to yield to the con? stitution, and so the stringent conditions will amount to nothing in regard to impar? tial suffrage. ACCORDING TO A Washington telegram, General GRANT is of opinion that the "iron? clad" oath prescribed by the ninth section of the Reconstruction act, to be taken by all persons "elected or appointed" to office in the "so-called" States of the South, is not to be taken by those eleoted under any new constitution which may have been adopted, unless the constitution itself so requires. It was under the ninth section of the Re? construction act that General CANST or? dered that all persons elected or appoin? ted to office, prior to the declaration that the State was entitled to Congressional rep? resentation, must take the "iron-clad" oath. THE GOSSIPS ABE at fault. Mrs. STOVER is not likely to be caught in the nets of the FOWLER, of whom it is touchingly said, "To sorre faithfully bis country, his State, and his constituents, and to supervise the education of his son and daughter, are the objects of his heart's ambition." MB. BINGHAM'S OBATOBT is faulty in one particular. He says "Senut" and "ad tn tervm," and cannot say "President" without becoming entangled among the syllables. Other senators have similar peculiarities, and it is fortunate that Mr. CHASE will pro? nounce the verdict. Co Bent. rHKST, HOUSE NORTH SIDE OF Lauren*-?treet, No. 5, near East Bay.
