Tho divorces granted in Indiana, "Under present laws, number, on the average, about fire thousand per annum. ' -Thaddeus Stevens, a day; or two before he died, was told of the. r?cent accident to Ben. Butler, in Worcester, when he was thrown from bis carriage, i "It gives me great pain," said the dying Ccrmmoner, "greatpain." Then dosing his eyes, as his habit was in medita? tion, be murmured between bis thin lips, "Great pain. His d-d neck wasn't broke, you eay?". -The last action of any consequence of Mr. Thaddeus. Stevens, at the last session of Con? gress, was the introduction of new articles of j impeachment. He did not prece them on the attention of the House, but rath er desired to . bave thora in readiness for use at any time. They are now of course obsolete, and will be remembered only aa an evidence of the persis? tency of purpose of the Radical leader. -A New York paper says that imitation has beeb carried to Its culminating point in the matter of. jewelry and trinkets. In several Broadway stores there is now to be seen a dis? play of pearls that would drive Cleopatra to drink were abe there to see them. They are made of steel. The fictitious amethysts, emer a!is,. rubies and all. other stones that are ac? counted precious, mounted in fictitious gold, ' would deceive the scrutiny even of an expert. "'-A circular bas been' issued by General B uohananv informing* the planters of his mili . tary district, who have received supplies from - fh? freedmen's .Bure au, thai they must. fulfil the letter of their bonds and ship their entire crops to. the factors in New Orleans, designa? ted in a- pre viona order. Any agent of the Bureau, he says, assisting or attempting to assist a planter to evade lus obligation in this matter, of who; suspecting chat a planter is at? tempting to evade "them, does not take all proper measures in his power to prevent the same, will be dismissed. '. -A system of co-operative life insurance which has been in successful operation in some of the burge cities of Europe far-several years, has-been iruroduced in New York. The object of thb '?co-operative plan .is "to secure s cash payment within forty days after the death of a member, of as many dollars as there are mem? bers in- tba class to which hs or she belongs, to the heirs." -Themembers are divided info ten classes according to their ages. Each mem? ber pays 'an initiation fee of six dollars. In. case of the death of a member, and supposing' that in tho class to which he belongs' there are five thousand members, "the association prom? ises to pay over within forty days five thousand doDara to the widow or heirs, and the remain? ing members forward, within thirty days, one dollar and ten cents each to the association to reimburse it. failing to send this sum they forfeit to the association all moneys paid, and the^^ociation supplies a new member in the place ol the retired one." -The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger snufis war in Europe. Writing on the 13th mst. he says : "Large purchases of . hay have just been made in this market on ac? count of the French Government. This fact? together with recent heavy purchases of horses for the same party, and the enormous accumu? lation of bullion in the Bank of France (equal to $250,000,000 gold now) is looked upon by not a few of the longest heads, in financial and business enroles here, as indicative of a coming war, notwithstanding the Emperor's protesta? tions that the empire is peace. Private letters from intelligent sources on the other sido fall in with this expectation. They say there is much dissatisfaction of a political character beginning to manifest itself in very unmistak abja-forms among the masses (though the pub ' J?? journals are silent on the subject}, and that tbs Emperor, to avert trouble at borne, may deem it politic to get up a war with his neigh? bors; That, we are assured, is the certain drift of all bis later movements." -The ahed? built by the Pacifie Railroad to protect their track from the deep snows of the Sierra Nevada mountains were crushed by the weight of scow that fell upon them last winter, and it was reported that some other method of I protection would have to be devised. This plan, however, has not been abandoned. 0 The company, it is slated, are now engaged in erecting sheds over the cuttings and other ex? posed points. They are of heavy timber frame? work, with pointed gable roofs, and look as though they could withstand almost any pres? sure of snow. Nearly forty miles of the track will have to be thus covered, and the quantity of timber required will be enormous. Not lesa than twenty-two saw mills, most of them worked by steam, are run night and day, em? ploying nearly two thousand men, and yet they do not work up to the needs of the company. In a few wseks twenty-eight mills will be run? ning. It is estimated thai it will require no less than eight hundred thousand feet of lum? ber to construct a mile of sheds. So great is the demand that the forests on both sides of j the track are being rapidly cut down. -A correspondent writes that the very ex? treme of the present Paris toilette prevails at Saratoga to-day, or rather aa imitation which might be called a burlesque or extravaganza of j an antique style. Not a bell or swell hoop is to be lound where once an army of them was in motion. The chignon is norn on top of the bead, with two switches inserted in the hair about thirty degrees balow the key of the arch os each aide of the centre, which form pendants like the horns of a goat, or, tobe more precise, like those of a chamois. The dress has a medium waist adapted to a hoop somewhat of tho shape of a barrel; large at the contre and small' at each end, with a backward swell to assisi in forming a train. A large but 'e,or 'Ranier," is worn at the topofjthe hoop, upon-which is gathered up five or six yards of material in a kind of bundle. This is called the "blanchisseuse," or washer-woman's -style, but really resembles the humps of a earners back. Across the lower hips, below this "panier," a band extends. It will thus be seen that we have the most extraordinary toil let known in the realms of fashion for the last two hundred years. CHARLESTON. -o TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 18. 1868. For President,.HORATIO SEYMOUR. For rice-President.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. Tbe Antagonism of Race-Black against White. In South Carolina there are about eighty thousand colored men who hare the privi? lege of voting, and this grand Republican ermy. which has had the political control of the State, has succeeded in securing for one colored man-Cardoma-a high and re? sponsible position. . The colored men could elect men of their own race to any office in South Carolina; but they show their disin? terestedness hy electing white judges, white sheriffs, white clerks of court, white Uni? ted States senators and white United States representatives. They are the' physical strength, while the white' Radicals repre? sent neither honesty, property nor intelli? gence, nor the power of holding a plough. Yet the colored men allow the hearts of .their colored chieftains-Whipper, Wright, Ran si er, Elliott, Nash and DeLarge-to grow sick with the hope deferred, of their pay, as members of the Legislature, while such weak or criminal white Radicals as BOWEN, SAWTEK, MOSES, COSLEY and Goss enjoy the.solid sweets of office, and grow fat upon the spoils which should have fallen to the share of their darker but more straightfor? ward brethren. It was time for this to end, unless the negro was were to become an everlasting puppet in the hands of the adventurers and renegades, and the passage, by one branoh pf the Legislature, of the bill to prevent discrimination on account of color, is an in? dication that the colored men are at last determined to enjoy all the advantages to which their numbers and votes entitle thom. The hill was expected to exoite some opposi? tion and the debate was hot and fierce; but the plain question of black against white was at issue, and, with five exceptions, the whole of the colored members voted in favor of the bill During the debate, which was published in full in THE NEWS of yesterday, expres? sions fell from the lips of the speakers, which show beyond doubt what are the purposes of the opposing wings of the Rad? ical party. Bozeman, colored, who opened the debate, said that ."the issue was a vital one and "should be settled at once." William E. Johnson, colored, who followed him, said : "Perhaps on some future day I shall come "here to Columbia, and there may not be "any private boarding house, and being a "gentleman, I may call at Nickerson's Ho "tel. If I do so I don't want to be refused. "I want the right and privilege of going "into that house, no matter who it is kept "by, and having myself cared for as well "as any other guest of the house." This was distinct and emphatic enough, and Mr. FEERITEE, of Sumter, one of the class usu? ally palled . scalawags, planted himself in opposition. He said : "The moment this "matter becomes a-question of color it will "drive a great portion of the white Repub <-Heans out of the party, it will array race "against race, and furnish the best argument "that the Democratic party can use. It may "destroy hotels altogether, and interrupt "every species of business which depends "for its life upon a license. Why should South "Carolin!. go in advance of Massachusetts ? "When this bill is brought to a vote there "are white men on this floor who will not "have the manliness to oppose it." De Large, ene of the mulatto members, called Mr. FKEBITER to order because he spoke of members at "tobite men." Mr. FEBBITEB said : "The member may find as much fault "as he pleases; but I tell him that the day "the question is made one of color I shall "take sides with my own race. I will not "register my vote in favor of springing so "suddenly an issue fraught with disastrous "results. You have only a temporary ma "jority. There is no emigration from "Africa, and your population increases but "slowly, while the white man with wealth, "intelligence and energy, every day adds to "the strength and influence of his race. "You are, therefore, engaged in a most dan? gerous procedure. My advice is, let this "bill alone. I shall vote against it." DeLarge, a shrewd mulatto, who pretends to be a firm friend and ally of the white people, followed Mr. FEBBITEB, showing by his words that he, too, had given way, and, with natural instinct, espoused the cause of his race. He said, the argument used by the preceding speaker "is an appeal to "every colored man on this floor to vote for "the bill without hesitation or modification. "He has driven in the very wedge he seems "to dread BO much." George Lee, another colored man, came next in support of the bill, his principal argument being that when the Legislature went to Greenville some time ago on an excursion, the members had no place to which to go for a lodging. R. B. Elliott, another negro, said : "That gentle? man (Mr. FEBBITEB) has drawn a distinct "line between the races on this floor. He "has told us that when the issue is made be? tween the white and the colored man he will "be found on the Bide of his own race. I "do not blame him; but I Bay that when he "or any other man draws that line of dis? tinction, I also stand with my race." But this was not enough, and he continued as follows : "I desire to notice some of his re "marks, briefly but plainly. The gentle "man alluded to suffrage in Massachusetts, "a State which, I thank God, I am able to "claim as the place of my nativity. He "tells us that we have an educational qual "ification connected with, the suffrage ?Either he forgot or purposely refraii "tell ?B why: Prior to the year 1867, "sachusetts allowed universal sui .?Every man was a citizen. After .th "pu bl i ?an party sprang into Ufe and "boyhood grappled the Democratic "the people with whom the gentlem "identified (the Irish) began to be impi "They were worse than the'slaves of'J "and were found to be willing tools i "hands of a Copperhead Democracy "would have crushed me and my pi "and antagonized the Declaration of "pendence, that all men are born fre "equal and endowed by their Creator "certain inalienable rights. . Finding "condition of affairs, the Legislalu "Massachusetts passed a law that no "should be allowed to vote unlesB he "read and write. We found that : "were debarred that privilege because "had come from the swamps and bogs of In "I am glad, however, to be able to say I "were few men of my identity in MasBt "setts deprived of such a boon by such a ca These expressions show the existen the never-dying antagonism between Irishman and the negro. What now be thought of the Irishmen of Charle few though they be, who have joine< negro party ? Mr. STOEBER, of Marion, a white Be lican, announced his opinion that the was inexpedient, and said that he w not vote in ita favor. The Rev. B. F. J. sos, a white carpet-bagger, then tool the cudgel and after eulogizing New 1 land and the Republican party, and nouncing expediency, said : "This iset "plainly before us, not merely as a SI "but as a nation. Shall the reconstruc "policy of Congress be sustained ? 1 "policy is based upon justice and e< "rights, and the question is : will the "lion fulfil the obligations which it "made ? For two hundred years our ] "pie have made discriminations on acco "of race and color. Four millions of i "pie have been crushed in the dust. T. "have waited and waited, and waited "justice, and still the gentleman from Si "ter (Mr. FJCRBITXB) says, 'Wait I we "not ready!' Great God! have they "waited long enough ? Have they "borne their bardens, shed their tears t "worn their stripes long enough to "entitled to justice at last? What mi "have we to wait for? I say, let us w "no longer, bat grasp the fruit which Pr "idenoe has given to us. The gentlem "has said that the oolored people of 4 "South enjoy their privileges by the soff "an:e of tho white man, and, thereto "they should not demand an enlargen? "of these privileges. Sir, they do not a "this boon as a charity-as a beggar aa "for bread-bat as men they demand it "a right which the Republican party I "pledged itself to bestow. He denied that the bill contempl?t social equality, and proved his position these words : "If two men sleep in a hot "or sit at the same table, or are guee "under the same roof, or travel ia tl "same conveyance, the idea of social equi "ity is not necessarily involved. It is n "so under the present circumstances, ai "no law that wo can make will force it upi "the people. This is a question that mu "regulate itself, and depends solely upi "the mental culture, oharacter and habi "of those Who may be brought into soci "relation. It cannot be regulated by law. Whipper, of Beaufort, a very black ai very able negro, said : "The gentleman fro "Sumter says it (the bill) will break ap tl "hotels. If he will go with us to the kitcl "ea of a first-class hotel he will see thei "a big black maa handling the meat that "to be eaten in the dining room. Go to tl "dining room, and he will find him pas sin "over the plates with all the familiarity i "the world. Go to a first-class barber "shop, and you submit to his manipulation: "even to the taking hold of that infallibl "thermometer, the human nose. "We are told that this measure will de "feat the election of GRAST and COLFAX "My reply is this : That if doing right wil "defeat GRANT and COLFAX, let them b "defeated. If we have got to stoop am "cater to the prejudices of men, in orde "to effect such an object, it were bette "they had not been born." The vote was then taken on a verba amendment by Whipper, and the scene ii described by our reporter in these words "Many of the negro members were so ex "cited that they shouted, 'Yes, yes, yes! 1 Others simply said, 'Yes, forever.' The "latter seemed the most popular response. "Several white men attempted to explain their vote, but were not permitted to do "so. Several colored men enjoyed the "privilege without objection. The issue "made was purely one of race." The Democratic members attempted to obtain the floor, bat ia vaia, aor were any white men allowed to explain their nega? tive votes. Wilder, a oolored man, did, however, catoh the eye of the Speaker pro tem.-A. J. Ronsier, a oolored man-and said : "He deemed the whole thing unwise "and calculated to do an immense amount "of harm to his race." The bill then pass? ed, eight whites and fifty-three blacks vot? ing aye, and nineteen whites and five blacks voting no. The title of the bill is "A bill to "prevent discrimination between persons "by those carrying on business under li "cense, on account of race, color or previ? ous condition." It includes all ohartered companies, and the penalty for its violation is a fine of not less than $1000 and impris? onment for not less than twelve months. The passage of this bill means social equality and something more. It means that the negro representatives of the negro majority have resolved that they will exer? cise all the power which their numbers give them. It means that they will demand negro judges, negro magistrates, negro mayors and aldermen, negro congressmen, and, when the time comes, a negro gov? ernor. The colored voters have been cajoled by the white Radicals for three years, and they will be cajoled no longer. They are determined to make a stand-up fight for the supremacy of their race. They say now-"Let Radicalism perish or negroes rule." Ponts. WASTE? TO HIRE, A GOOD BAKER. Apply at No. 671 KING-STREET. ET Angustie .' % ..
