John D. Young, member of Congress elect from the Ninth District of Kentucky, was as flagrant an outrage on popular rights as can well be con \ ceived; but the substitution of his defeated op? ponent was even lower than that in legislative baseness. The epithets we have selected are noway unsuited to the ieccnt extraordinary action cf the House of Representatives. Mr. Young, the sitting member, was elected over McKee by a majority of 1479 votes. A third candidate received 862 votes, which left Young s dear majority of 617. No partisan legerde? main can get over thia, or get around i{. Yet Mr. Young has, just been deprived of his seat, and Mr. McKeehas been put into it. -A London correspondent, writing of fashionable -wedding, saya he failed to discover . a single dress coat m the company, the groom, the "best man," and all the gentlemen ?xanas appearing in dark, double-breasted frock coots, light pants, black or colored neck fates, and, with the exception of the groom, re $aimng their hate in their bauds during the ?ceremony.

He open ly acknowledges t?fic Congress bas been acting in ?he reconstruction business with the pur? pose of throwing the South wholly into the hands of the Radicals, and cow that it has-been delivered, bound hand and foot, to the carpet? baggers, he calls upon those individuals to finish it. With such brazen erfrontery,. he" says: "The Republicans of the South must look to their household. Placed by Congress, in possession of all the State governments, and strong in the recent acts re?eving.from consti? tutional disabilities a large number of active and gifted men (Radicals all), they ought to secure an immense vote for Grant and Colfax, .They ought to hold the great body of the color? ed vote, thus inspired and strengthened; and they will, if they are as resolute and as active as they should be." -The recklessness arising from a tam iliari ty with dangerous machinery is again illustra? ted by the ?acts elicited at tho coroner's in? quest held on Wednesday, over the bodies of the six victims of the recent steam fire engine explosion in New York city. It seems that the safety-valve was broken, and permitted the es? cape of too much steam. In order to make the engine work the safety-valve was at first held down by two men, and then tied down with a strap. One witness testified that be saw^the steam-guage blow out, carrying the glass face with it- He crossed over and spoke to the engineer, and said it was wrong. The lower guage was tried, and dry steam issued; and the witness then crossed tho street, deem? ing it not safe to remain, and soon after the boiler exploded. The testimony clearly showed that tho engine was a broken down, worthless artair. The sufferers by this explosion were innocent bystanders, and the accident shows that the blind trust in the security of opera? tions carried on in the public streets may sometimes result in serious damage to the spectators. CHARLESTON. -0 TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1868. John Bright on the Stump. Mr. DISRAELI has not allowed himself to be turned out of office. Mr. GLADSTONE is still the leader of tho Opposition. The Conservatives hope that a popular vote will return them safely to Parliament after the dissolution. The Liberals are educating public sentiment and pressing the claims of their future candidates, in anticipation of tho severe struggle at the Hustings next autumn. The most important demonstration on the Liberal side was that which was made under the auspices of the Welsh National Reform Association, where JOHN BEIGHT "took the stump" in: a vigorous manner"against the Government and in favor of the Liberal cause. Mr. BRIGHT'S speech was full of force and fire. He launched the weight of his eloquence against the Irish-Church Es? tablishment and those who favored its main? tenance. He took the position* that'the sys? tem, however good when religious instruc? tion was missionary rather than ministerial, is utterly unfitted for the wants of the pres? ent day. When there was only, one church in England, he said, it wa3 a noble idea to divide the barbarous country into parishes and establish in each a devout anet" learned man who might train the people in civiliza? tion and morality. " But now who has a "right to insist that the State Church to be "founded in, Ireland shall be of the Protest? ant Episcopal creed, rather than of the "Roman Catholic or any other? What he "and his party propose to accomplish is to "place the church in Ireland in the same po? sition as the free churches of Wales, of "Scotland, of the British colonies and of the "United States. The Catholic Church sup? ports itself by voluntary contributions, "while large subsidies have to be granted "each year for the maintenance of the Estab? lished Church, although that is equally "able to sustain itself." This speech of Mr. BRIGHT was important enough as an argument, but it is more im? portant still on account of the application of the principle of disendowment to the Eng? lish Established Church. The same anom? aly that exists in Ireland exists in Great Britain, and the views of Mr. BRIGHT logi? cally lead to an abolition of the union of Church and State in the three kingdoms. Wherever it is seen it is a relic of the past Unsuited to the civilization of the age, paid for by those who have no direct interest in it, in conflict with every liberal idea and progress in doctrine. Mr. BRIGHT does not say this in so many words, but if he is sincere in what are evidently his opinions, there is plenty of work before him and his Liberal companions. The canvass is now begun, and the principles laid down by JOHN BRIOHT will be, it is presumed, the cry of the Liberal party. Their victory may be a decisive one, but it will carry with it a fearful load of danger and respon? sibility. Morbid Literary Appetite-The Cause and Remedy. Judging from the vast amount of fictitious literature which issues daily from the Eng? lish and American press, one would think that the want of the age does not certainly take the form of a deficiency in this re? spect. And yet it may be safely affirmed that never has there been a greater need for wholesome, and at the same time pow? erful, imaginative writing, than exists at the present time. Never has the public taste been more imperatively solicitous for some? thing to feed its insatiable craving for in? tellectual excitement, and never has there been so great a lack of positive talent in the domain of healthy fiction, or so large a de? velopment of ability in works of a precisely opposite tendency. The Westminster Re? view doubted, some time ago, whether Eng? lish literature could boast of a really good and great novel, while admitting that there have been, and still are, some very great novelists. The doubt, at present, may be carried very much further. It would re? quire very little more than a mere r?sum? of the names of the most popular novels of the last half-dozen years, to show the dele? terious influence which authors of really distinguished' ability have exerted in the domain of novel-writing. ". Where ten read? ers have been charmed and soothed by the tender yet wonderfully artistic power of Mrs.. G SKELL'S "Wives and Daughters," one of the most perfect and thorougbly-to be-cjimead'ed fictions ia the' whol? lange of English literature,-a thousand have greedily devoured the prurient sensation? alisms of "Griffith Gaunt* and the author of ' 'Cometh up as a Flower." When authors of undoubted power are so little to be trusted, as regards the moral effect of their .productions-the -author of "Adam Bede," for instance, who stands confessedly at .the head .of contemporary novelists, makes the interest of every one of her four magnifi? cent fictions to turu upon a breach of the seventh commandment-it is not surprising that writers of lesser power should emulate the class of production which they have made so attractive. We are inclined to think that this dis? eased condition of mental activity is rather the cause than the effect of the demorali? zation of the taste of the reading public. Power will make itself felt in whatever guise it assumes; and the success of writers of talent in this direction has produced so immense a crowd of imitators of their worst-and, therefore, most easily repro? duced-characteristics, that the popular appetite has been educated by the very abundance of the material offered for its consumption into that state made immortal by GOLDSMITH, where "The relish grown callous almost to disease. Who peppers the highest is surest to please." The English papers come to us filled with the most revolting accounts of crimes, per? petrated in many instances by mere boys, a large number of which could be directly traced to the pernicious influence of this "Gallows Literature," as it is most appro? priately termed. An in: elligent writer on the subject says: "A number of errand boys and apprentices at Paddington were recently convicted of a series of thefts from their employers. It was found that, emu? lating the desperadoes of these tales, they had formed themselves into an organized gang, and taken names from their favorite heroes-one was Dick Turpin, another Claude Duval, and so on. And their depre? dations extended ever the whole neighbor haod. A few weeks ago, under the same influence, a youth of eighteen, the son of a small tradesman of Clerkenwell, having exhausted all the means of plunder which his shallow wits could invent, succeeded in getting possession of two pounds. With this money he invited two or three women to a drunken debauch, in imitation of Cap? tain Macheath and Claude Duval. Having thus squandered his last penny, he threw himself over Westminster Bridge, leaving behind him a melodramatic letter of fare? well, written in the style affected by these infamous publications." Doubtless these instances could be multi? plied a thousand-fold on this side of the Atlantic, and we cannot avoid the question of "What remedy ?" which they so imper? atively suggest. Evidently the whole sys? tem of imaginative writing is in need of serious reform, and we cannot but agree with the same writer when he recommends ?a more earnest cultivation of the faculty of good writing for the masses by Christian men and women." Power, as we said be? fore, will make itself felt, and if there could really be an infusion of new and vigorous and healthy life into thc corrupt mass of j our present fictitious literature, there would doubtless be soon found a corresponding growth of a healthy popular taste. This reform has begun in a sphere where it was hardly less needed, though for dif? ferent reasons,-in the production of chil? dren's books. Mr. MCDONALD'S "Dealings with the Fairies," and LEWIS CARROLL'S "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," are an immense Btep in advance of anything which was served up to our infantile imag? ination, both in real literary merit and in adaptability to the object proposed. It is to be hoped that they are only heralds of a reform in literary productions cf a more ambitious type, which will go far to check and correct the evils of the present state of ] things. (Ea gert.
