The peo? ple or Frankfort are very angry with him for this desertion. They elected him to the Reich tag because he^gas a bitter enemy of Prussia. :. The King of Prussia recently made bim a mern-, ber of the Prussian Chamber of Peers, and, Baron de Rothschild thinks Prussia ruled by a very sagacious Prince. . -It is a significant fact that Butler was not invited to Henderson's marriage. It is said he intended a present of silverware had he been asked to come. Alisa Foote is reported to have withhold him an invitation for the double reason that many valuable presents would be ?reposed to view, and because she did not wish to receive eilyer service marked with initials of ' other people, - -The labor convention lately in sesi?n in Now York city passed a kindly resolution call? ing attention to the insuffi Acut pay generally given to working women. Very large numbers of young women are now employed in trades and at other occupations requiring industry, application and some degree of skill, and, as a rulo, the/are not awarded half the pay that men sat for similar-Tabor. In some branches jjf? business they are compelled to: worn for starvation prices. ? This is a crying evil. -A new type metal, it is asserted>?s now produced in Humboldt county, Nevada; It is obtained by separating silver from the ore, and is composed of about thirty parts of lead and seventy parts of antimony. The metal, with ? alight addUki??, is said to be superior to that - used in the Atlantic States. It is sent down to San Francisco, in pigs of about seventy pounds weight. A shipment of seventy tons Eas-been made to New York. Some of the iron foundries and machine shops in San Francisco ' are now using the same metal for journals, in place of the Babbit metal. ' -The English people are. laughing over the red tape?sm of thy Ecclesiastical branch of the government.' They have never yet been able to thank God for the preservation o: Prince 'Alfred, in consequence of not having received the proper legal authorization, This is almost as bad as the official routine of tho Havan i Fire Department-the engines are only allowed to be taken out by a written authority, signed by two or three officials, all of whom must visit the fire previously, in order to judge whether such a course is necessary. -The monument to be erected over the .grave of Lieutenant-General Scott at West Point, consists of a granite base, seven feet long, thsee feet wide, and one foot two inches thick. Upon this rests a single block of Italian marble. The block is six feet long, two feet wide, and two and a half foet high. It is a mere plain surface, except the inscription, which is in square, plain cut-raised letters iu part, and the remainder in plain Roman. There is not an ornament about it, not even a mould? ing, to break the severe simplicity and solidity of the massive stone. -Paris has produced a modern Sardanapalus in ihe person of Count R-. He has an in? come of some 200,000 francs per annum, and dresses like a lady. Not content with appear? ing in his dashing carriage in this costume at the late races in the Bois, he has" just given a ball, the guests being ladies only, and num ber? ing some Of the most distinguished names of the old French aristocrary. Folly ever attrac '. s folly.' Tho Count received the invited in arosc colored satin dress, trimmed with the richest lace, and ornamented with bouquets of flowers. He is always veiled to hide his moustache-as he desires not to part with it. -Atstriking illustration of tho force of a mother's love for her child has recently been exhibited in Iowa, The circumstances are re? ported in noticing the pardon, by Governor Merrill, of a woman, Catharine McArdle, who had been sentenced four years ago to the State penitentiary for life. She confessed to tho murder of her husband and was sentenced to be hanged, but her sentence was commuted by Governor Stone. It was afterwards found that abo was entirely innocent, and that her son was the guilty person. To save him from the gallows she had avowed that she was guilty of the crime. -One of the most transparent of the politi? cal humbugs of tho day is the forwarding of petitions to Congress numerously signed by laborers employed in maurfactnring districts, praying for such increase of protective duties as win revive manufactures and restore pros? perity to the country. This is called a prayer of American workingmen for the protection of American industry. It is perfectly well-known that these petitions are gotten np by the em? ployers, and that the workingmen who should ref ase to sign would do it with the peril of dis? missal before his eyes. All that these things mean is that bounties are to be paid by the government to a few pet interests, and it is thought the process can bo most effectively be gun by the disgraceful mockery and humbug of using the name of poor laborers, who are in no way interested in the increased rate of duties they are made to ask for. -Eastern Florida is be?g laid out in large farms, for the purpose of cultivating fruits and early vegetables for Northern markets. Jack? sonville, the chief shipping port of the State, is but four days from New York by steamer, and still less by railroad. It is estimated that fifty thousand young orange and lemon trees have been set ont since the war, and that ten thousand are now in bealing, in the northern part of the State, the fruit selling at $15 to $20 per thousand, es it hangs on the trees. The settlers at the extreme southern part of the State are chiefly engaged in the manufacture of tapioca, which root, as well as other tropi? cal fruits, grows there freely. -General Stoneman is making vigorous ef I forts to revive the credit of Virginia by en? forcing thc payment of the interest on the State bonds. The semi-annual interest, amounting to $750,000, which fell due ou July 1st, wag not paid, and a very great deprecia? tion in tb; value of the bonds was the result. General Stoneman, assuming that the State was able to pay her debts, ? she would make an effort, has devised a plan, of which the fol? lowing is a brief summary: He intends to col? lect from the railroads and canals and other corpora ted companies in which the State has an interest, the amounts ot their dues, and will then compel the State Government to ne? gotiate a loan, which he, as District Com? mander, will approve, to make up the balance. The amount of corporation dues and the $200,000 now in the Treasury, it is asserted, will nearly makeup the required sum. CHARLESTON. --c THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1868 The Platform In Full." We have the pleasure of laying before our readers this morning, among our spe? cial telegrams from New York, the full text of the Platform of Principles adopted unan? imously by the Democratic National Con? vention on Tuesday last. The meagre sy? nopsis transmitted by the Associated Press, and published in the Charleston papers of yesterday, was so unsatisfactory, that we determined that the readers of THE DAILY NEWS should not wait for a full copy by mail, and our correspondent in New York was promptly instructecr to telegraph the document entire. It is by such strokes of bold and costly enterprise, whenever occa? sion justifies, that we mean to keep THE NEWS 'jteadii/ ahead of the other daily journals in the South. Tbe Downfall of It adie alla m in South Carolina. The colored voters of South Carolina have been aa clay in the hands of the political pot? ter. They have been moulded into such shapes as were most profitable to scallawag and carpet-bagger, and in return for their large voting majority,-their speech-mak? ing and marching in procession,-their 1 hungering and thirsting,-their renuncia- i tion-cf honesty and affiliation with rascal? ity, have been graciously permitted to give every profitable civil position in .he State to sn oub>at-elbowB white man. They had the power sud exerted it for the good of others. They could ^-ha ve elected a negro Lieutenant-Governor, negro members of i Congress, a negro State Treasurer, but they did not. They loved their Radical brethren; they trusted to soft, wordst and I vague promises; they believed that "forty ; acres and a mule" were better than a seat '. in Congress, or a summer session in a i crowded hall in Columbia. They were told, and believed, that to make the negro prom? inent would ruin the party; but, when they saw with their own eyes that the fat mule and broad acres were as unsubstantial as the honesty of a lobbying Congressman; that a dollar in State bills went into the . pocket of the white man for every five cents ; that crossed their own greasy palm6; -that there was' not even the traditional honor among thieves, they became dissatisfied swearing by all the gods of Africa that they woul have their fall share of the profits of reconstruction. Thia determination is now made public. Whipper, one of the ablest colored men in the South, has announced in the State Sen? ate that his race must no longer be ignored. "They had filled offices with ignorant, irre? sponsible white men, always yielding to "the cry of expediency, but they would be "deceived no longer. If the party could "not stand the weight of the black man in "doing him justice, the party had better go "to pieces." These are significant words, and they show the working of that natural law which, without any outside aid, will destroy the Radical party in every South? ern State. The negro feels that he has been cheated ancL'swindled, and is resolved that in future he will have the larger half of the sweets of office. Confident in the force of brute numbers, he does not fe?r defeat, or is aware that defeat for him is also death to the Radicals who- have lived by his votes. The white Radicals, on the other side, have learned that want of respectability is thc great danger of their party, and that to attempt to hoist the African over the head of the Caucasian, is to drag down the white man to the level of the negro, rather than to raise fae negro to the plane of the white man. More than this, they know that to make the negro the ruler is to arouse the instincts of race, and to excite the white mea to fight desperately to save their people from political and national extinction. Thc Radical cannot overcome the laws of nature, even with the help of Congressional legislation. If the issue is made squarely in the South, between white man and black man, the mass of the white Radicals will fall away from their colored colleague?. They will desert the alien race to join their own. Radicalism will be forgotten when color meets color in a struggle for existence, and of the present Radical party there will be nothing left hut a rump, consisting of a few degraded whites and a rabble of ignorant and fanatical negroes. The party has in it no strength that can enable it to withstand the shock of a civil collision between the two races. This the leaders know; and, because they have known it, they have sought to stave of the coming of the con test. But the thick heads and warped fancies of the negro leaders have been too much for them. The negroes are willing that the. temple shall fall, provided that it 'whelm white and black in one common ruin. The whites cry out that they must and will be saved. The disintegration of the Radical party in South Carolina haB begun. With Whip? per and Wright and Elliott as leaders, the negroes will move rapidly on. The antag? onism will grow greater from day to day, and the inevitable end will be the final downfall of black dominion in Sonth Caro? lina, and the restoration of a government which shall protect white and black alike, and save the negro from that destruction which a continuance of Radical rule would make certain and unavoidable. Tile General Council of the Roman ' Catholic Church. The General Council which has just been convoked by the Pope to meet at the Vati? can, in Rome, on December 8, 1869, the festival of the Immaculate Conception, is the first that has been called since the Council of Trent, which assembled at that city on December 13,1545, and continued in session, with various interruptions, till December 4, 1563, a period of eighteen years. The General Councils, called also oecumenical, from a Greek word meaning the habitable earth, are summoned by the Pope, and, in the language of the paper just issued, are composed of all the cardi? nals, patriarchs, primates, archbishops and bishops of the city (Rome) and of the world, and are designed to adjudge all questions of schism and heresy, belief and discipline, which affect th? Universal Church. The Pope in person, or by legates, pre? sides over the Council, and ail questions are decided by a majority of the votes cast, though at the Council of Constance, in 1414, .the members from each of the four nations, Italy, France, Germany and Eng? land, voted separately. General Councils do not create new dogmas, but only inter? pret and declare what was originally con? tained in the Scriptures and tradition, and according to the belief of the Roman Catho? lic Church, are infallible concerning matters of Faith. This infallibility does not ex? tend to points of discipline, history, poli? tics or science, nor to the grounds of their decision, nor to collateral observations. The Church of Rome only recognizes nine? teen general Councils. The Conference of | Prelates, held at Rome in 1854, and which proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, was not a Council, but only a solemn ceremonial declaration of belief by more than three hundred bishops, six hun? dred and twenty high dignitaries of the church having written letters to the Pope testifying their approval. SENATOR SUMNER recommends the elec? tion of a colored, man-F. L. Cardcza-as United States Senator from South Carolina. This will encourage Whipper to push the claims of the olored majority, which it is hoped will be fully recognized._Cardoza will be more at home by SUMNER'S" than as the Secretary of State for South Carolina,-which office has hitherto only been filled by honorable and intelligent white men. By all means let Cardoza be elected ! THE RECONSTRUCTION CONVENTION cost the Sf ate the neat little sum of $110,006, and Bx Governor ORR estimates that the new Legislature will be in session four months, at an expense of $250,000. ?0 Bent.
