VOLUME VT.-NUMBER 940.] CHARLESTON, S. C., THURSDAY MORMNG, SEPTEMBER '?t 1868. EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK TEE NEWS FOR THE CAMPAIGN GREAT INDUCEMENTS TO CLUBS. Tha importance of the great political con? test upon which we have now fairly entered renders tho dissemination among the people of sound political views and accurate and ear? ly information of the progress and incidents of th? canvass, a matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who has ?any stake in the welfare of these Southern States, should give an active, personal ?nd un? flagging support to the candidates of the -National Democracy-SETJIOUE and BLAIR. A triumph of the Radicals ?ill result in the utter desolation and ruin of the South, and the placing bf an ignorant and brutal race in all positions and places of honor and trust, to the exclusion of the white race. The govern? ment must be wrested from the thieves and plunderers who now have control of it, and power placed in the hands of a party pledged to give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government for white men, and not for negroes. It is only necessary that the peo? ple should be thoroughly informed to accom? plish this, and TEE NEWS will be an admirable means of diffusing tbiB imormaiion. In order to place the paper within the reach of all, we have adopted a scale of. reduced rates of. sub? scription for the four months covering the Presidential canvass, and offer besides peculiar inducements for the formation of clubs. We are determined that THE NEWS shall be the cheapest and best newspaper in the South. Its blows will fall thickly, steadily and rapidly; and if the friends of law, order and the Con o?tution do their duty by extending its circu? lation, its labors can be made powerfully effec? tive for good. We appeal, then, to our readers to examine our remarkably low terms, am" go to work with a will to get up large clubs for THE CHARLESTON NEWS. BATES VOE THE CAMPAIGN NEWS. .

I [FEB ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. 1 PROSPECT 07 WAS IN EUROPE. EOKDfl?, September .1.-The possibility. oi .war oh the Continent ie more andmore dis? cussed by the leading European journals. The opinion generally expressed ls that Prussia, - though ready for war, reilly desires the con? tinuance of peace, brit t.lat to. Austria and Bus . aia peace is indispensable, and that the French Emperor is now undoubtedly prepared for con? flict, but his policy is uncertain. The Liberal, of Toulouse, says Marshal Neil, who is on a visit to that city, told the Council General that the army was animated by the beet spirit; its armament was complete; the arsenals were fud of material, and the financial resources of the empire were inexhaustible, and, compared with other powers, France alone was equally ready for peace or war. K Some people think the necessity of diverting the discontent of certain classes io France may cause the Emperor to adopt a warlike pol icy. ' They say the election,' by so large a ma? jority, of the Liberal candidate, M. Golvy, in the department of the J uria, the manifesta tioiis of general disaffection on the part of tho students of the medical schools and univer? sities in Paris, the great success of "La Lan terne," and the deep, wide-spread indignation at its suppression, are signs of the public tem per, sufficient in themselves-to alarm the Em peror. - . . Add to these circumstances the expense of keeping an abnormal armament on foot, and the encouragement to war offered by the suc? cess of the past war, and there is reason, the .people say,?a expect- a war in the autumn or spring. Corroboration of these views is sought ina recent-loading editorial in the Cons ti Lu . tionel, urgi-jg tho claims of the Empress Euge? nie I? the Regency. It is argued that such claims as these would not be put forth at this time were it not anticipated that the Emperor might have to lead an army and be exDosed to the perils of the field. On. the other hand to offset these fore? bodings, there are official pledges of peace daily made, the advice officially given to capi talists to act as if assured of peace, and the ar? gument so frequently urged by the French Government that the very completeness of the armament is a guaran te 3 of peace. Recent and midden changes of feeling on the Bourse, and the variations in rentes, are explained as the results of the alternate ascendency of the opposing views. In a public speech at Marseilles, M. Belvie assured his hearers that the polioy of France was for the preservation of peace. The Em? peror, he said, would guard it without am? munition and without weakness, and the mili, tary precautions taken by the Government wonld make peace sure. THE SECOND INTEBNATTONAL TA CHT BACE. LONDON, August 31.-It is announced to-day that Captain Baldwin, of the American vacht Sappho, has challenged the yacht Aline", and that the challenge has been accepted. The de? tails of the race have not yet been agreed upon. The Cambria, which came in first in the recent race around the Isle of Wight, has gone to Spain, and will not return for some time. Bald? win has, therefore, challenged the Aline, which was second in the last race, and came only two minutes behind the Cambria. THE SPANISH MIS8IJN TO FRANCE. PARIS, August 81.-Girgenti, the special en b tl n 0 o ti ti p a S ti n oi a tl ai ff tc th to ri? ec cc u ?I lt w to ai is 0 ai tr in va b? voy from Madrid, arrived to-day, aDd had an interview with the Emperor. It ia rumored that the object of hi3 mission is to bring about an agreement with the Emperor that, in the event of a European war, Spain shall send a fleet and troops to Borne, in return for which the French army will be used to sustain the reigning dynasty of Spain, in case it should be attacked. THE PEACE OF EUROPE-RUS9IA AND CHINA TO HAVE A POW-WOW. PABIB, September 2.-An article in the Mon? iteur oe the state of Europe, points to tho sig nificant fact that the number of men on leave of absence from the French army was never greater than at present. .ST. PETERSBURG, September 2.-The Russian Governor of Eastern Siberia will soon hold a conference with special representatives of the Chinese government, to settle the disputed boundary Une between Siberia and China. Oar Washington Dispatch es. BUREAU OFFICES" CHANGE THEIR STATE-THE COMMISSIONS RSHD? DIFFICULTY. WASHINGTON, September 2.-Gen. Orlando Brown and twelve other officers ot negro troops, who have been acting as Bureau agents, were mustere i out of service to-day. They will ro? main in the Bureau as civilians. A number of storekeepers and guagers were j appointed to-day. Revenue to-day, $971,000. The complications with the Brazilian Gov? ernment, growing out cf the detention of the Wasp, have been adjusted. Commissioner Rollins received a dispatch last night, informing him tbat a warrant had been issued against him. Rollins telegraphs in reply, that he will not appear personally or by counsel in New'York to-morrow. Mr. Har? land, the deputy commissioner; will ignore in the same way any warrant which may be served upon him. It is said that the Presi? dent and Secretary Mcculloch disown all con? nection with the New York proceedings against Rollins and Harland. The Herald of this morning has an article upon newspapers and the internal revenue, in which it says that it bas been served with a notice of the tax due upon its business, and that nnles3 it were paid the usual remedy would be enforced. It ?B not informed under what law this attempt to tax the press is made, and styles it a forced and absurd con? struction of the Internal Revenue act by igno? rant assessors. It says that the whole tenure of the revenue laws as regards the press shows that Congress did- not intend to tax newspapers. Incomes derived from the news? paper business pay taxes as other incomes do, but the business itself is not taxed. It an? nounces its intention to resist the construction put upon the law by the assessors, and be? lieves that the press generally will do the Bame. _ Thc War in South America. HAVANA, September 2.-Dispatches from Puerto Cabello, dated August 14, say that Bruzual and his forces had abandoned the city ind gone to Coro on the steamers Bolivar and Mapasari. Bruzual now holds only Coro and Maracaibo. Negro Outrages In Savannah. SAVANNAH, September 2.-The negroes on ;he outskirts of the city are causing trouble.

CRIMINATION BILL-WHAT THE RADICALS WANT. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DAILY NEWS.] In the House to-day the Judiciary Cotnmit ae reported a substitute for the Senate bill for he codification of the laws of the State, the ame of Corbin os the Commissioner being mitted. Resolutions congratulating the Republicans f Vermont on their victory in the State elec ions were laid on the table. A bill to provide for the election of Presiden al electors sod members of Congress was assed. A bill to regulate elections was passed, with stupid amendment to prevent the selling or iring away liquor on election days. The ef ict is that ii an election is held in Anderson, 0 liquor must be drunk in Charleston. The bill to close the operations of the Bank f the State has parsed both houses, and waits the signature of the Governor. La the Senate the bill for the codification of I ie laws of the State was passed, with an nendment omitting the name of Corbin, and iving the appointment of the commissioner ? the Governor, also re Jucing his pay to four lousand dollars. An angry discussion, bat without rebult' ok place upon the bill to prevent discrimina? ra on account ol color. Whi11omore propos 1 a compromise forbidding discrimination by i m tu on carriers, which was lost by a vote of | ~ reive to thirteen. The extremists insisted ion having equal rights and benefits in every sensed business. Coghlan (white), asked j t hittemore if his compromise allowed negroes enter und board at hotels. Whittemore , j iswered, No. Coghlan replied, "Well, that ., what we want-libert; to enter hotels* &c." At a meeting of the State Central Democrat Club the following resolutions were adopted id ordered to be published : Whereat, in ?he judgment of the State Cen al Club it is expedient that Democratic Born? ees for Congress should enter upon the can- ^ es at as early a day as practicable; therefore ,il fl Resohed, That we recommend to the con ntions of each or the Congressional Districts n' loVpurpose tho nomina'ion of candidates for s: ingress, that the Convention for the First w >ogres8ionol District be he.d ai Florence on . e fifteenth ot September; for the Second, at larleston, on the fifteenth of September; for bi o Third ar d Fourt? at Co umbia, on the fif- tl entb of September, and that delegates be ,i ?pointed from each election district equal to . e number of representatives in the House of if apresentatives in 1865. ol Whereas, A proclamation signed by Robert ti . Scott, Governor, and bearing date August ci st, 1868, alleges the existence of armed or inizations in this State, which are regularly fi fleered and drilled and pretend to act by au- b lority, and alleges also the surreptitious ia- d oduction into the State of firearms and am- u munition, roost of them of improved description, and which it is reported are to be used for partisau purposes ; and, whereas, said proclamation attributes other vi? olations of the public peace to the people of the State in general, and makes no discrimination such as would have been warranted by the facts of tho case; and, whereas, it is well known that all these disorders proceed from negro or? ganizations, headed by a few white and colored men, who, by their incendiary harangues, are inflaming the minds of the negro population forgarty purposes; and, whereas, these facts have, from time to time, been reported to the author of the proclamation. Therefore, to avoid any possible misunderstanding of the state of things which has given rise to this proclamation, be it Resolved, By tho State Central Democratic Club of South Carolina First. That we authoritatively deny all the ex? aggerations set forth in tbis proclamation, and unjustly applied to tho Democratic party of this State; and further declare that in future, aa her ctol ore, tbis party proposes to be a psrty of peace, law and order, and confidently relies upon peaceful instrumentality and tho b llot to accomplish political reform, wbicb the in? terests of the State and country demand. Second. "We emphatically deny that im? proved weapons and ammauitiin have been surreptitiously introduced by white persons into the State for partisan purposes. Few weapons of the kind alluded to that have been introduced, have been openly purchased for purposes of individu *1 self-defence acainst sudden violence, produced by inflamed and riotous assemblage?. Third. Although the armed organizations of freedmen which exi&t in many sections of the State might well justify the arming of the Conservative people of the State, yot wo would earnestly urge bur fellow-citizens to continue to bear and forbear, in order that the peace of sooietv in thia State may be preserved. (Signed) JAMES U. GIBBES, Secretary. The Phoenix to-morrow will contain a cor? respondence between Governors Bonham and Scott. Governor Bonham calls his attention to the armed orsanization of negroes, mentioning instances in his own knowledge; calls upon Governor Scott to keep the peace ;ind prevent bloodshed ; says the people will not be tyran? nized over by unauthorized armed organiza? tions of negroes. Governor Scott replies through bis Secretary, Mr. Heart, that he takes the deepest interest in preserving the peace, and will use all his power for that purpose, and hopes for the co-operation of all citizens, esp > dolly men of influence. FURTHER BY MAIL. THE BANE OF THE STATE BILL-THE VETO MES? SAGE-HOW IT WAS SUSTAINED-THE SPEECH? ES-CHOICE SPECIMENS-BLOOD WILL OUT A DEFENCE OF SOTTTH CAROLINA BY A COLORED [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, September 1.-The first event in the House to-day was a heavy speech fro m Whipper, negro, in favor of the bill to close the operations of the Bank of the State. He replied specially to Jackson, the little person who spoke yesterday, and said that it ill became one of his profession to criticise so generally a legal opinion, about which be might well be presumed to know nothing, as in fact his Bpeach fully showed. As for the cry about the Confederate debt it was all raised for effect, md for hie port he was not afraid to go bet?re ais constituents, who, he thought, had com? bon sense enough to understand the question, ill of them not being ministers. Thia speech seemed to frighten off any more debate, and notwithstanding a desultory fili? bustering operation, the bill finally passed to i third reading, a test vote taken showing ifty-six in favor of the bill, to thirty-five against it. The next event was the debate on the Gov ira or's veto of the bill altering and amending. :hu charter of the City ot Charleston and pro? viding for a municipal election. As indicated n my telegram, the veto had caused consider ible feeling, the movers of the bill being very nuch disappointed and chagrined, and the op? ponents of the bill strengthened by a large lumber of t hose who had voted for the bill be? fore, but who had caught at the idea express id in the Governor's veto that tho bill favored Charleston more than the reit of thc State, and heir local prejudices being aroused, were now letermined not to grant Charleston any extra avors, and therefore not to vote for the bill. The ball was opened by a speech frc m De? farge, colored member from Charleston, who laid that although he was fully aware that the rote he was about to cast would ba at tbe ex >ense of his popularity at home, yet he was breed by his honest convictions to voto against he bill, and to sustain tho veto for the reasons tated therein. He explained, at some length, be reasons which led him to believe that the ?ill was not only unnecessary, but impolitic, nd submitted his argument in writing to bo pread upon the journal. Ransier, colored member from Charleston eplied in a speech, chiefly remarkable for the xtraordinary ground which he took, that as he constitution provided that au elector who tad resided in a county sixty days could vote t any election in that county, th ereiore all lectors residing the required sixty days in ny part of the County nf Charles ton had a onstitutional right to vote in the City of I Charleston. | Bosemaj, colored member from Charleston, . allowed on the samo side, and took the i round that the bill was a measure demi nd jd y party necessity. The large Republicm ma- ; )ri ty of Charleston, he said, were under the j oncrolof a minority; a minority that did not i esitate to use any measures, however low or ' icon, to prevent the Republicans having that : hare in the city government and its benefits : ) which they were justly entitled. He com lained that they were not employed on tho ublic works, and were prevented from using ] loir just political rights. His speech was itter, but free from the coarse vituperation 1 lat usually characterizes the harangues of ie ?abidRadicals, black and white. j Jenks (white), the papa of the bill, follow- i ] on the same side of course, and made a j peech as heavy as himself and as nninteiest ig- ; Purvis, colored member from Lexington, re- 1 liod to Jenks, saying that although he knew J ow dangerous it was to tread upon such i round, yet he waa not afraid to declare that 1 1?re weie a few sound men left yet who did j Dt believe in legislating altogether for tho I ike of party. He then called attention to the ' ords of the veto where it alludes to special ! gislation, and by dwelling on the fact that this | ill was giving an election to Charleston when I tey did not need an election there any more j ian in Columbia, or any other town or county | i the State, succeeded in arousing the feeling i [?jealousy which prevails among the up-coun- 1 y members against Charleston, aud thus se- j ired the defeat of the bill. Burrell James, uneducated colored member om Sumter, next spoke in opposition to the ? ill and in support of the veto. His style is j roll, his language ridiculous, and his entire . ^consciousness of his own deficiencies rc- i freshing. I acknowledge my inability to give a correct idea of his whole speech, bit the fol? lowing are a few of bis expressions: 'It seemt like de peopls uv Charleston suffer more dan de rest uv us because dey are nearer do tea coast. De speaker which bab jus taken bis seat, il seem to me, from de Charleston menbers, say dat all dere civilized men hab been 'lected tc come up here, and dey ain't lef nufin behind but savages. I tink de peoples of Sumter ie suffering, and dat de law ought to rsquira dal an election be held dere. As de veto nv de Guberner hab said, of de election vere provi? ded generly fur de whole State, tnere is not one genelman on dis floor what would hab Imi? tate one moment ter vote fur de bill I hope it will pass j is as de Guberner hab vet?ed it." Lee, McKinley and Boseman, allcolored, of Charleston, spoke for the bill afttr this, and Boseman called the previous cuestior to prevent an}' more speaking on the othei ide, but the Governor's veto and the apeechee of DeLarge, Purvis and Burrell James had killed the bill. Instead of haying the requisite ma? jority of two-thirdj in its favor to enable it to pass over the veto, it actually had a majority against it. The voce standing ou the passage of the bill, ayes il, nays 43. In the Senate, the proposition of Nash, Max? well and Wimbush, all colored, to idd J. S. G. Richardson, the late State reporter, to the com? mission to codify the laws, brouzht forth an expression 'rem Jillson to the effect that somebody had evidently beon about with an axe to grind. Nash replied, sarctstically, that it wa3 very evident from the bil itself, that somebody did have an axe to grind, and that no less a person than the chairman of the com? mittee that reported the bill. Hie was already a judge, and now he wanced to make himself commissioner to codify the laws. The discussion on this subject lasted till the adjournment, but an episode that occurred is worthy of mention. In the course of the dis? cussion some carpet-bagger made an assertion that South Carolina was always behind the age in her laws. This raised the dander ot Rainey, I colored member, who at once launched into a ? panegyric of the legal system of the State, pay I ing a glowing tribute to her judiciary, and declaring that, with the exception of her slave laws and negro code, South Carolina had a system of law which, for wisdom, liberality and enlightenment, would compare favorably with that of any State in the Union. Blood will out if it is mixed. I forgot to mention in its proper place the significance of the resignation of Lewie, of Lexington, from the House. He came here a Radical, and has resigned disgusted. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. TUESDAY, September 1.-The resignation of G. A. Lewie (white), of Lexington, was ac? cepted. A resolution was adopted requesting the Chairman of the Board of Regents of the Lu? natic Asylum to furnish the House with sta? tistics of the inmates and officers of that insti? tution. Whipper, from the Judiciary Committee, re? ported on the petition of John W. St ?ggers to change his name to John W. Standard, that action on it be postponed to the regular ses? sion. 1 The same committee reported a bill to estab? lish the office of County Surveyor. Jackson offered a resolution, which was adopted, to appoint a committee to inquire what legislation is necessary at this session. The State Bank bill wau taken up and passed to a third reading. The Prosecuting Attorney bill was recom? mitted. The Committee of Wavs and Means reported a. bill to aoDroDriate $2000Jo provide for con? tingent expenses or me Comtroller-Oonerars office, which was read the first time. The concurrent resolution declaring that a joint resolution only requires ono reading, was referred to the Judiciary Committee. . The joint resolution providing for the pay of members, &c, was received from the Senate with amendments, providing that the pay should oe up to August 31, and the sum $70, 000, which were concurred in. The bill to establish the office of county treasurer was read until the hour for tho special order. The veto message of tho Governor on the bill altering and amending the charter of the City ot Charleston, was taken up and the veto sustained. SENATE. Rutland gave notice of iv bill to extend the time of filing declarations aud to \ acate judg? ments and decrees in certain cases. Tho bill co pr?vido for the su .mission of the question of i he change of location of Barnwell Courthouse to the people of that county was passed to a third reading. The bill to define the duties of County Com? missioners was passed to a third reading. The joint resolution to provide for the pay of members was passed to a third reading. The bill removing the county scat of Beau? fort from Gilhsonville to Beaufort was passed to a Hurd reading. The bill to pr..vide for codifying the statute law of South Carolina was discussed to ad? journment. THE REPOSTED ACTION OF THE NEW YOEE WHOLESALE DEY GOODS HOUSES.-The New York Journal of Commerce, alluding editorially to tho paragraph etating that tho leading dry goods houses of that city had resolved to ex? tend no credit in futuro to Southern dealers, says : It turns out now that tho representation is wholly lalee. We have inquired personally of "the leading dry goods firms of New York," and they declare that they never heard of this meeting until this paragraph was published, and that they propose to moke no change what? ever in relation to their custom in the Southern States. The leading jobbers in this city are doubtless divided in their personal relations to tho two great political parties; but there are few of them, we have reason to know, who tarry choir partisanship BO far as to interfere with the management of their business upon sound mercantile principios. They invite custom from every sectiou, and will sell every appli? cant m good credit without regard lo hie polit? ical bias. So far from any unusual restrictions, there hos been an extension of last season's iredit to worthy Southern applicants, a very natural result as the two sections become more intimately connected. THE RIOS CHOP IN GEORGIA-The Savan? nah Republican, of the 1st, says : We were presented with several specimens af very fine rica last week by Mr. Thomas L. Harrison, the product of his fine plantation on Argvl ) island, and under pressure of business, have unintentionally omitted to mention its receipt. Among tho samples was some white rice, which it was expected would yield fifty bushels to the acre. The hands are now at work cutting this rice. There were also some superb stalks of red and gold rice, which will be ready to cut next week. Mr. Harrison re? ports his crop as excellent, and the negroes ire working well, no Dead Haul rice birds be? ing permitted to intrude their obnoxious pres 3nce. We also re"iv3d some splendid speci? mens of the golden rice from Mr. Keller, over? seer on Captain George Screven's plantation on the Ogeechee, twenty-one miles from the city, rhc samples lef in our office are .veil worthy sf inspection. The stalks measure seven feet aine inches in height from tip to tip. The kernels will average two hundred and fifty to the head. The rico cropa along tho Ogeechee ire reported looking splendidly, and wherever Bradley, the incendiary, is kept aloof, the ?lands are working admirably. Captain Bar? rett, of the sloop Fleet, reports that on Satur? day last the work of catting tho new rice crop ;omraenced on the Ogeechee-the crops pro? mising excellent. WE ABE DELIOHTED WITH IT,-Miss Mary Ann Bard, of Bardatown, Ky., writes to Willcox i Gibbs: "Your machine is at hand, and we ire delighted with ic. Ours is the only one of the kind in this place, and every one that sees it is delighted with it also." I Politics In Colinton. i To the Editor of the News : , COLLETON DISTBIOT, September 1.-The good work goea bravely on in old OolleLon, and De? mocratic Clubs are springing up in every neigh ; borhood. Before the election in November ? the white citizens of this district will be a unit for Seymour and Blair. Apathy and indif ' ference have been set aside, and In their place i have sprung up activity, and zeal, and en 1 thusiasm. The white people are thoroughly alive to the momentous issues involved in the coming contest, and, in one solid phalanx, will 1 vote the Democratic ticket. It is not so easy ? to decide what the colored man will do. The truth is, as a general thing, he knows not him? self what he will do. The "Hon." C. C. Bowen held forth to the poor deluded colored people at George's Station last Friday. He had a slim attendance though. He indulged in the , usual Radical twaddle, and was variously re? ceived with applause and hisses. On last Saturday a large meeting of the citi? zens of Round 0, St. Bartholomew's Parish, was held at lleetze's Church, to form a Demo? cratic Club. Captain Archibald Campbell oc? cupied the chair; Stobo Perry, Esq., was secre? tary. R?solutions denning tue objects and purposes of the Club wore introduced and adopted. Patriotic speeches woro made by Captain Archie Campbell, Captain William Godfrey, Colonel Robert Campbell, and Wash? ington M. Cummings, Esq., and then the Club was put in working order by the election of the following permanent officers: Dr. E. N. WILLI ?MS. President. ALLEN WILLI?, vice-President. s lu BO PERKY. Secretary. BENJAMIN WILLI-*, Treasurer. And so the work goes on. Colonol Campbell and Captain Godfrey are deputed by the Cen? tral Club in Walterboro' to canvass the dis? trict; and they aro doing their work with zeal and ability, I understand they will bold a mass meeting at Ridge ville on Saturday, the 12th instant, "CELT." DEATH OF A PBOMINENT NEW ORLEANS EDI TOB.-We have already noticed the death of Mr. W. H. C. King, ohier editor of the New Orleans Times. He died on Thursday last at Pass Christian, Mississippi. His disease was an incurable cancer on the face. The New Orleans Picayune says: Mr. King was a native of Pennsylvania, born October 23d. 1824, and had consequently reached nearly his 45th year. Ho had a robust constitution and uniform good health in most respects. Had not thia disease mysteriously at? tacked him and eaten out of him his hie, he seemed a year ago to have before him as many years as he has left behind. Mr. King was a ?rioter by profession, and must have come ere fifteen or eighteen years ago. He worked as a compositor for a long time on the Pica? yune, and went thence to the Crescent to be its foreman, in which position he remained until that paper was suppressed under Butler. His energy and persevering character, and his good management and capacity as a printer, caused him, when the Times was established in this city in 1864, to be made a partner in and soon to be tbe chief manager of that news? paper, whose great success and widespread influence rendered him so well known through? out the country. - To.vards the close of his life, Mr. King was received, by baptism, into the bosom of the Roman Catholic Church, and died io the midst of its consolatory hopes. He baves a wife and several children,' with whom we heartily condole in this, their affliction. WHAT KILLED THE GBECIAN BEND."-The stooping posture, styled the "Grecian Bend," renewed by the watering place fashionables this season, is not practiced as much as it was. We hear from Saratoga that it has been killed off there quite effectually by satire and bur? lesque. John G. Saxe, the poet-punster, who has been summering at Saratoga and writing letters to the Boston Post, first got the laugh on tho fashion by calling it the "Colic Stoop," and recommending the essence of peppermint as a remody; but the quietus was put lo it by the work of a clever German Silhouettes artist named Schmidt, who made such droll, yet truthful representations of the ladies affected by'the "bend" that all Saratoga was in a roar of laughter, and his silhouettes went off like hot cakes for fifty cents each. The ladie#re moustrated and the hotel keepers attempted to stop his busy scissors, and succeeded, but the photographers reproduced his pictures abd they sold by thousands, doing the business for the Grecian Bend most effectually. Saxe says of this absurd fashion : "I Bee that a writer in the Now York Times defmds the usage in question on the assump? tion-sfim ground enough, ono would say, granting it to bo true-that it is the samo thing as the 'Grecian Bond' of thirty years ago, which originated (so he tells us) with a cer? tain grateful English Duchess several genera? tions before. However charming her grace may have been in spite of an affectation of this sort, the real origin of the 'Grecian Bend' is as patent as its adoption by fashionable women is ridiculous. Ladies who have justly admired the gracefully stooping posture of the Medician Venus, and other nude figures, from the hands of the Greek sculptors, have failed to reflect that the curve in those beautiful forms is grad? ual and unbroken by corsets at the waist; and, above all, that their stooping posture is a natu? ral, and therefore graceful, attempt to hide what they can of their nakedness. 'Clothed and in her right mind' no sensible woman will think of imitating in public the shrinking stoop of conscious indecency." A COLONY OF ARMENIAN IMMTOKANTS FOB THE SOUTH.-An Armenian gentleman from Constantinople has arrived here with a view of finding a location m the Southern States for a colony of two hundred Armenian families. Be yesterday addressed a number of his country? men who are resident here. He alluded to tho considerable body of Armenians at Constanti? nople who entertained a desire to fiud a laud of religious Uber ty, where they might settle, and said that the American missionaries had point? ed to the Southern ?States of America as the promised land, and also as a region having a climate similar to that of the countries border? ing on the Mediterranean. This is a novel and desirable element in the emigration to America. In race, the Armenians ore Japhetic; in faith they are Christian, but of a confession that differs both from the Protestant and Cath? olic, though it resembles the latter in many respects. Though the Armenians have long been subject to the Turks and Persians, they are a people of remarkable enterprise and in? telligence, with a valuable old literature and many eminent scholars. They have in times past established colonies in various parts of Southern Europe, and they are numerous in the cities of European Turkey. If the first colony to this country prove a success, as we trust'it may, we shall doubtless in time see several thousand Armenians follow it from Constantinople. Tney can find in Virginia, youth Carolina or Georgia, localities that offer them every opportunity for freedom, happi? ness, health and pecuniary Buccess.-Ntw York Tmes.
