Roch cf ort is in Belgium, to avoid his .Seri ten oe of imprisonment. -Miss Siddons, a great-granddaughter of the great ?ft*T*? actress, ia about to appear on the stage in New York. -The. Union Pacific Railroad has issued a * card, time-tsb?e of ttfe usual form. Though closely printed, the list of stations fills a card ?bout eight inches lvng. -An exchange notices that while yoong la? ddies at Saratoga are practicing the Grecian ?bend, young gentlemen at the same place often practice the American bender. -President Juarez writes to C?nsul-General ?Day, in San Francisco, emphatically denying that there are any negotiations for the sale of j the States of Sonora and Sinai oa, or any part thereof, to the United States. ^TJm fifty-four curates of Rome have com? pleted the census of the Holy City, which con? tains two hundred and seventeen thousand -inhabitants, or thirty thousand more than in 1858: .-Gen. Meade, during his visit to Washing? ton, spoke in the most nattering terms of the gop eral good conduct of the Southern people. ESS own expression was : "I am sure-they | mean to da right." -Ilise Menken was buried August 13 in the portion allotted to Jews in the Cemetery of j Pere La Chaise. Several dramatic authors and theatrical -xi ends attended the funeral. The hone of the deceased actress, led by a ser? vant, followed the hearse. -A letwr was received at Washington on Friday from the Hon. Horatio Seymour, dated Utica, New York, August 27th, in which the .great banner-bearer of the American people j announces himself in good health and spirits, and "certain of the success of the Democrat:o tiflfeet-far the rights of the whole people, the maintenance of the Union entire, with the .ame privileges to one section aa the other." -At last accounts Mr. Davis and his family had not left Liverpool; but they had removed from the Adelphi Hotel to a private residence belonging to an American merchant, and which had been placed at their disposal by the owner whose family was out of town. This seep wis taken by Mr. Davis as a matter of necessity, as he found that a residence at a public hotel hin? dered him'.from obtaining that thorough rest and privacy now so necessary for his health. -The president of one of tho Philadelphia j city railroad companies has made a proposition io its conductors to fix the amount of tares they shall be required to return as collected ?sch day at a certain figure, and let them take what they can collect beyond that amount tn lieu of wages. In other, words, the conductors areMHre the cars, drivers, horses, and use of the road at so much per day, and make all -they can oat of the passengers. -The dry goods auction sales in New York, -are increasing in importance as the season ad? vances. Fron ch fabrics for the moment ap S pear to engross the most attention. Orrs house " is running off a valuable catalogue of mousse? lines de laine, morinoes, cashmere cloth/ pop lina, Empress cloth, bombazines, (tc., and another broche shawls of various styles. The ?attendance of buyers ia both cases is quite numerous, but the biddings lacked spirit, but prices are considered fully np to those of hut season. -The. Pope has instituted severe measures -against tho frail sisterhood of his dominions. A couple of weeks ago, the Bo man .Police made .a general raid on the miserable women, swept the whola body, into prison, or out of the Ro? man States', and boasted that they bad not left ons trail woman in Borne. A correspondent writing from Borne says: "It is impossible to .describe the miserable condition of those who .are driven over the frontier, where they are lefi in the woods or on the roads, without money -or food, and, in some cases, almost naked." -A New York letter of the 26th instant says : ""We.axe beginning to have occasional glimpses -of the autumn trade. The great dry goods ?houses in Broadway and Church-street have been niling some pretty heavy Western and Southwestern orders since Monday, keeping the packers up till near midnight. The hard? ware, hides and leather, drugs and medicine, and grocery, men, also report things generally more active, with an immediate prospect of a large increase of business next week, when tho ' season at the watering places being about at an end, recreation and pleasure will give place, as usual, to commercial activity." -The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger, writes: "There aro indications of a lively time in the Episcopal General Con? vention-the 'irrepressible conflict' between high and low churchmen, developing itself | anew in an effort on the part of the Evangeli? cals, in the interest of Dr. Tyng and his sym? pathizers, so to modify the canon law as to per? mit Episcopal clergymen to preach in other pulpits than their own, and vice versa, to per? mit non-epifloopaliy ordained ministers into Episcopal churches. An effort will also be made to revise the Prayer Book, SD as to check? mate ihe ritualistic performances at Trinity, fit. Albans, etc The high churchmen, how -ever, appear to be confident that these demon? strations will eventuate in nothing but talk." -The Spaniards have again insulted the British flag at sea. A Spanish revenue cut? ter, five miles off the coast of Carthagena, hailed-j the Brittan vessel Fanny, which at once hoist? ed the British ensign; but the Spanish officers, -under pretext that they suspected her to Vi a pirate, announced that she was a lawful prize, gave orders to get the gun ready to fire, or ' -dered her into the port of Carthagenn, sent the whole of the crew at once to jail, and de? tained her until the certificates of baptism of every man io the orew had been obtained from -Gibraltar, after which she WBB allowed to leave, and then the British Consul protested strongly -against these outrageous proc jedings. It would not take much more to impel the Bri? tish Government to adopt such measures as would make Spain behave a little better. -Mr. John Gregg, who is spending the sutn mex rn Jessamine County, Kentucky, received a letter a few days ago from his home in Texas, containing an account of another wanton ne Cro outrage. Two children of a neighbor had been Bent to the field after some cattle, aod while approaching a clump of trees, uncon? scious of danger, were fired upon and killed by a band of outlaws. The freedmen 'bad kill? ed one of a beard of fine cows, and while skin? ning it were guarded by a part of tneir num? ber. The pickets seeing the boys approach? ing, and fearing detection, deliberately ?hot them down. 'White children murdered in cold blood in broad daylight by a band of armed negro thieves-what a picture of Radical phi? lanthropy and protection in the South I CHARLESTON. -0 MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 81, 1868 For President..HORATIO SEYMOUR. For nce-Pretident.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. The Path to Prosperity. The long and trying reign of dullness and discontent is well nigh over, and we are about entering the season when business will be at least moderately active and money comparatively abundant. At such a time our merchants should look to it that they neglect no means of securing, in as full a measure as possible, for themselves and for our city, the important benefits of the fall trade. They must show to the country that war, and fire, and multiplied misfortune, though they have impoverished our citizens and desolated our homes, have not paralyz? ed our energies or shaken our confidence, and that the Queen City of the Southern seaboard is ready at this time to do as much, aye, more than she has ever done, to prove Ber claim to that proud title. Every branch of business, wholesale and retail, has a common interest in spreading this informa? tion far and wide over the great section of the South of which Charleston is, or ought to be, the commercial focus ; and to achieve this result the columns of the publio press offer at once the most obvious and efficient agency. Judicious and liberal advertising is the great element upon whick our business men most now rely for. success. It has passed into an axiom of modern trade that he who advertises his business most extensively is sure to make the most money. The colos? sal fortunes amassed at the North almost invariably bear a direct proportion, as well in actual bnlk as in the rapidity with which they were built up, to the seeming reckless? ness, but real tact and enterprise, with which their possessors availed themselves at the outset of the myriad tongues of the newspaper press. A daily paper, circula? ting largely among all classes of people and over a wide range of country, which, while holding decided views on public topics and perfectly independent in expressing them, is yet neith - ? ? - treme, intolerant or imper? vious to the logic of accomplished facts, which is a full and trustworthy chronicle of passing events, giving the greatest amount and variety of news in the most compact and readable form-such is the paper which the shrewd merchant should choose as the vehicle of his communication with the great publio. To give these characteristics to THC NEws has been our constant effort and am? bition-with what measure of success Its readers must judge. One thing, however, we may Bay : The circulation of this jour? nal, which, at the time when the present proprietors assumed its charge, was larger by many hundreds of copies, than that of any daily paper publienell in this or the adjoining States, has gone on, steadily in? creasing from day to day, and, sinoo the opening of the Presidential campaign, has made such strides as to justify the assertion that, as an advertising medium, it hos, at this time, no equal in the South. With so powerful a lever at their command, our merchants have it in their power this fall to bring many a country merchant and pro? ducer to Charleston, who has hitherto been accustom ed to seek his supplies in other and more distant markets. Oar so-called Legislature. It is difficult to see in what particular the so-called General Assembly of South Caro? lina has so acted as to command the confi? dence and good will of the moderate mem? bers of the Republican party, or so as to prove to the colored people that their rep? resentatives in the Legislature are working honestly and sincerely for the well-being md advancement of their race. The decency shown by the freedmen in their ordinary intercourse hos not been seen in the legislative halls at Columbia. 3roBsnsss, indelicacy and obscenity have been the rule of the hour. There has been no observance of the laws which govern Parliamentary bodies; but he who could shout the loudest has won the most regard, and members who could not prevail by ar? gument or reason, have again and again given the lie direct to their victorious ad? versaries. The colored majority have been led astray by the example of the white men who sit by their side. The follies and cor? ruption of Washington are aped and imi? tated. Bribery is practiced witheut con? cealment as without shame. The chances of success of any measure are in the ratio of the benefits to be derived from it by the members who give it their opposition or support. Nor has the Legislature shown any public ability, or even that rude common sense which might have been expected from a body in which there are more intelligent negroes than capable white men. No meas? ure has been introduced and passed which is broad and impartial in its policy. No movement has been made which had not for its direct or indirect purpose to strengthen the baokbone of ultra Radicalism, and to fill the shrunken pockets of the bitterest disciples of its doctrines. Caucussing for the election of officers and judges, debates upon the per diem, attempts to establish by law that Bocial equality of distinct races which Nature herself has forbidden, ver? bose schemes for pulling down all that is conservative in character and honored by time, and for setting up in its stead any? thing that ?B different, new and untried; these have excited the keenest and most lively attention. But the important bill to regulate the assessment and taxation of property is hustled through before its pro? visions are known to three-fourths of our legislators; and bills whose effect will be to destroy the internal trade of the State, to set at naught public rights and personal ii terests, or to so amend a city charter as t open wide the doors te illegal and fraudi lent voting, are passed under the lash of th party whip, without any regard to what ma be their power for good or for evil. Ther are one or two Republicans in the Legisla ture who are able and probably trustworthy but even these fear the majority from whic they may have to ask fat offices for then: selves or for their friends, and act contral? to their own knowledge of what is true an right, rather than run counter to the be heats of their revolutionary companion; Nor has the Legislature shown one jot c that economy which is so necessary in th administration of the affairs of an imp?t erished State and overtaxed people. An; intelligent Republican would, it seems, hav urged the Legislature to do its work quick ly, if it could not do it well;-so dearly wa it to the advantage of the party to Bhoi that it had some higher motive than that o party success and individuel money-mak ing. But if this prudent counsel was given it has not been heeded. The constitutions convention cost the State one hundred am ten thousand dollars; and the cost of th Legislature up to this time is about seventy thousand dollars, which, if paid in Stat hills at twenty per cent, discount, will im pose a debt on the State of nearly ninety thousand dollars, or about eighteen hun dred dollars for each day that it has beet in session. And whai has the Legislatur* to show in return for this enormous outlay ' Thirteen bills have become laws and havi been signed by the Governor, and of these two are acts of incorporation, two are loai bills, one is to provide for a private Secre? tary for the Governor, and one is to provide the Governor with a residence. This is al that the Legislature has done for ninety thousand dollars, if we omit the faot that il is daily creating new offices with handsome salaries, which will tend still further to de? press the fortunes and'eredit of the State. This, for the present, is more than enough. In the prudent and economical govern? ment of the State, every white and colored man who lives within its boundaries is deeply interested. The moderate and re? spectable Republican has as much-his all at stake, as the moderate and respectable Democrat; the industrious and sober freed? man has as much-the fruits of his labor to lose, as the industrious and sober white man. This is no question of party politics, but of commercial calculation. We leave out of sight the question of the constitu? tionality and legality of the assembly which now makes our laws; we leave out of sight, for the moment, all question of race or color, and confine ourselves to the simple and self-evident proposition that this State cannot be improved in population and re? sources, and that her people cannot i ncr eas e their little wealth or be secure in the en? joyment of their property, so long as she and they are governed by a body which is, for the most part, devoid of honesty and decency, and is wholly without that expe? rience, intelligence and disinterestedness, whioh are indispensable to * j ont and ad? vantageous public administration. The members of the Legislature have them? selves but little to lose. They hold no prop? erty and pay no taxes. Their simple creed ia, that to take is more blessed than te give. Republicans as well as Democrats will as? suredly understand that such men must lead the State to ruin, and that its only safety lies in such a revolution as will return the government to the hands of those who ven? ture both means and reputation, and who will direct our affairs in the interest of the whole State, aud for the greatest good of the greatest number of its citizens. Let Coffee Read, Alaric and Inwardly Digest. Our neighbors of Georgia are all in a titter over the action of their mongrel Leg? islature. It seems that the scalawags of that precious body are already sick of asso? ciating with their ebon-faced, thick-lipped and woolley headed colleagues; and as these latter do not, as in Columbia, enjoy the ad? vantage of numerical superiority, the fiat has gone forth that they are one and all to be summarily unseated and kicked out of the legislative halls into the cotton fields whenoe they came. The pretext for this move is stated to be that "a free person of color is not, under the Constitution and laws of Georgia, eligible to a seat in the General Assembly." When the question of the eli? gibility of the black members was under discussion in the House, by the ruling of the Speaker those members were not allow? ed to vote. Somebody inquired whether the carpet-baggers were iuoluded under this ruling. The Speaker replied, drily, that "it would depend entirely upon the color of the carpet bagger." At last ac? counts the discussion of the msasure of ex? pulsion was still in progress, with a slim chance apparently for Cuffee. A singular result of this queer and sig? nificant movement is that Re; resent a ti vee Beard, Belcher, Fyall and Davis, who have heretofore been classed as colored members of the House, now deny the soft impeach? ment and claim to be white men. Upon this plea they have actually succeeded in getting their names stricken from the bill which declares certain parties ineligible ; but it is said that the question of race will be duly investigated as soon as tbe House shall have disposed of those who do not deny their color. ?tlai)or's Jprodomatian.
