New York, Sunday, attired in yellow boots, white pants and vest, and extraordinary frilled shirt front, a naming red necktie, yellow gloves, and a white hat with black crape round it, above which was a band of the ruffled pile.

'Commonwealth'' speaks of the "weird grandeur and impressiveness of a recent speech in Congress by the venerable Thaddeus Stev? ens, which reminds it of the solemn utterances ?of the old prophets." It does not rofer to the one where the "venerable Thaddeus" threat? ens to vote for the Democratic ticket, we pre? sume. -A recent baptismal ceremony at Mantua might furnish a hint to Beecher. The god? father put his right hand on tbe head of the child, ani the godmother on its feet, then the first said solemnly: "Lu the name of reason, of human society, of the country, and of thy fam? ily, I name thee Borne!

Horace Greeley is the treasurer, to whom the faithful ara called upon to send in their contributions. The opening concert will be given in New York. -The World's Washington correspondent says : "There is not one* word of truth in the story of a reported conversation in which TahcL Stevens is made to declare his belief that the Radicals had been strengthened by the Chicago nominations. On the contrary, Mr. Stevens says in private what he has Bald in public, that he regards the New York plat? form and nominations as far stronger than the Chicago platform and nominations. He is dis? gusted with his party, their candidates and their programme." -A rich merchant near Binghamton, New York, arranged an elopement very nicely by paying the girl's father the estimated cost of her education and-giving his own wife a house and $2000 in money. The wife packed her hus? band's trunk and bade him an affectionate fare? well, the father accompanied his daughter to the depot, and the happy-pair went off to Cali? fornia. They repented and came back by the return steamer, the husband deserted the girl, who poisoned herself, and went back to his wife, who received him "with open arms," and all are now presumedly happy. -'The Menken has been ill in Paris. Le Gau? lois tells how it happened: "On Sunday even? ing Miss Menken arrived at a hotel at Bongi val, escorted by three young gentlemen, and the whole evening the establishment was dis? turbed by the revelling of the party. .At 1 A. M. in the morning, three gentlemen had rolled under the table in quiet helplessness, and the fourth member of the party preserved just suf? ficient consciousness, to crawl to bed. The next day Miss Menken was compelled to keep her room." The writer adds: "For mercy sake, Miss Ala, take things a little more quietly." -Jeremiah Ezell, a white mau, was shot Sa? turday night near Franklin, Tenn. A rumor prevailed daring the day that the negroes in? tended to burn the town at night, Ezell and others patrolled the streets on horseback, and rode ont some distance from the town to re- ' connoitre, but, discovering no sign of hostility, they returned to town and made a report which quieted ali fears. A. short time after Ezell and three others rode just outside of the town and were fired apon by eight negroes in ambush, Ezell receiving a wound from which he died Sunday. Great excitement prevailed Sunday and Monday, bat there was no outbreak. -Gov. Merrill, of Iowa, , has pardoned Mrs. Catherine McArdle, who has been in the State Penitentiary four, years. '.This old woman, fall of maternal devotion, heroically sacrificed her? self to save her son from the gallows. The son had killed his father, and the mother, to avert the doom from her offspring, claimed apr: con? fessed that it was j she who had committee. the murder, and on her own confession was con? demned to be hanged. Gov. Stone commu? ted her sentence to imprisonment for life. The poor woman, after one or two attempts to commit suicide in the Jackson County jail, was ssnt to the Penitentiary, and in the gloomy clasp of that prison she has been four years waiting and praying for death. When she was visited last fall,. she was shrivelled -in. body and nearly so in mind. Sixty-five years old. with her rieht arm palsied and helpless, abandoned by all of her blood, a victim to heroic motherly devotion, and with the light of earth, and morningly that of heaven, shut from her-she was truly a pitiable object Many persons have interested themselves in her behalf, and at last, through the kindness of the Governor, the chains are stricken from ber limbs, and thcj? once more free. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 25,1868. Something to Pay I So soon as the new Tax bill, reported by Mr. NE AG LE, or some financial measure of a Uk e sort, goes into operation, the colored peo pie of the State will begin to understand what a mistake they have made in giving power to designing and ignorant adventurers. Our poor State is about to be taxed to death, and tho black man will find that, in one way or another, he will have to bear his propor? tion of the taxes. If the capitalist is taxed heavily, his means of paying the laborer he employs will be materially lessened. If the cotton and rice are heavily taxed, the la? borer himself must bear his proportion of the crashing burden. And when the up? land cotton fields are taxed four dollars an acre (a higher price than most of them could be sold for, if put upon the market to-day) perhaps it might prove a good bar? gain to give the lands to the Legislature in? stead of the taxes; and to emigrate some? where-anywhere-beyond their power. The rice culture of South Carolina has been well-nigh destroyed. For the first time in the history of the present genera? tion, the rice of India, shipped to us from the other Bide of the world, is competing in our markets with the rioe of South Caro? lina. And it is at a time like this that Mr. NEAQLE proposes to caddie the cultivator with a tax of seven-and-a-half cents for every bushel of rough rice, or of five dol? lars for every acre he plants. We shall have to take to corn bread age :i, as we used to do during the war. Some may suppose that there is no need of apprehension on this subject, because NEA? GLES bill was not allowed to be hurried through the House, as its author intended,b ut was referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. But it must be remembered that NEAQLE himself is^the chairman of that committee. Either the original bill, or something equally monstrous, may be ex? pected from the sagacious junta of which he is the presiding officer. The colored people of the State, especi? ally those of the low country, who have largely preponderating numberB, have al? lowed themselves to be inveigled and en? trapped by a set of loud-mouthed and cun? ning demagogues. They have set men to conducting the business of tho State, most of whom are incompetent to carry on any business whatever. They have given the power of taxation to men, nearly all of whom have no property to be taxed, and who are entirely indifferent as to the way in which they get the money from the peo? ple,-so that the money is got. They have elected to responsible offices men who can? not give security for the faithful discharge of their official duties. The Legislature has already had to lower the bonds, which were oar only safeguard against malfeas? ance in office. If there should be no defal? cations in high places during the present year, no reckless emptying of the pockets of the people and the coffers of the State, then all that we can say is-the days of miracles have surely returned. Somebody has to feed those ill birds that are fouling and feathering their nests at Columbia. And if the negroes of the State expect that they are not to pay for their folly in elect? ing an irresponsible anet mongrel Legisla? ture, they will find themselves severely dis? appointed-and that before long. The Working People. On the 8ubjeot of the serious complaints on the part of mechanics of insufficient pay, the New York Evening Post says: Since the beginning of the war the expenses of me? chanics have greatly increased, while their pay has not advanced at all in proportion. Clothes and provisions have almost doubled in price, and board and lodging have also become much more costly. The following comparison between the wages of workmen in 1861 and 1868 is to be found ia the New York Sun : WEEKLY WAGES IK NEW TOBE, CLASS OF WOES. 1860-61. 1868. Bakers.$10 $12 Coopers. 9 24 to 27 Blacksmiths. 12 18 to 20 Carpenters.10 to 12 21 to 24 50 Cabinetmakers. 6 to 7 15 Iron Moulders. 12 to 15 21 Boiler Makers.10 12 to 18 Machinists. 10 to 14 12 to 18 Engineers. 9 to 12 18 to 25 Plasterers. 9 to 10 27 to 30 Masons. 9tol0 27to80 Ship Carpenters.12 to 15 21 to 24 Laborers. 7 12 to 15 Tin Workers. 9 to 10 15 'Longshoremen.25c. p. hour. 40o. do.

Some have failed in securing an ad? vance, but the majority have been success? ful. The following is a statement of the amount of increase given and the present pay: Trade. Bate of increase. Present pay.

Most of the mechanics demand a return to the pay of last year's busy season, though a few have struck for an increase upon those rates. ?0 Bent. TU RENT, THAT FIXE RESIDE\CE, No. 3 Ec?4-atxcct.
