Alabama Legisla? ture asserted bis "civil riebt" lo ride in the ladlee' car on tbe Georgia Central Railroad the other day. He only submitted to th? frightful outrage of a compulsory seat in the ordinary ears upon the suggestion of tbe conductor that 5 * broken bead would ensue' upon a refusal. '-Au attempt was recently made to lynch a fellow in Kentucky who had the reputation ot beating his mother, but he shot one or two of his assailants and discouraged them. Mis mo? ther now writes a card, saying that it was oil a mistake; that she sometimes fought with ber son's wife, but never with hun, and that it was ?11 in the- family at. any rato. . -The Jacksonville (Florida) Mercury Bays : "Throughout tbe State generally the cotton crop ia a failure, ? gentleman, visiting in the Alachua County, informed us a few days ago that in that county, as ia'others, be saw entire fields that had been totally destroyed by the caterpillar. The crop is a failure-not more than one-third to a half of the planted crop in . tte 8tate.will, besaved." -An heir lo' tho Oro ek throne, child of .Queen . Olga, was bora at Athens, August 2d last, and on the earoo- day received the name of Constantine Henry Demosthenes, amidst great rejoicings. The joy of the people at the birth ot the'prince is represented to be un , bounded, such an event not narin? before occurred within four centuries. Tho Queen ol Olga is the daughter of . the Grand .Duchess Alexandra of Russia, who, with her two sons, Grand Dukes Alexis and Nicholas, weie pres ?ent at the christening. -It ia stated that tbe foreign population of fits United States are raising a fund for the parchase ot i h om ea toad for Genera] Henry A. Wise, in token of their appreciation of bis re? sistance to the proscription of foreigners by fire "Know-Nothing" " party. The scheme originated at the North, and there seems t > be no doubt of its success. About one thousand dollars will be raised in Richmond, in sums of oue to five dollars. It ia i ntended "to purchase s home, stock it well' and furnish it. elegantly in every respect,i and- settle the old gentleman comfortably for the balance of his days. -In rtewark, N.

In that tims the. burled man promises that without risible assistance he will raise the earthUp from its plaoe. bursic.iou the coffin, and step ont m sus good? he^J^i aa the spectators who havo obs?Tvw? the performance. He daims that his oo2in will be a preventive of the ba ml ol hving persons. -A communication in the Borne (Ga. ) Cour. ist Oras describes the proceedings at tho color ed church in that city reoentlj: "At a recent attendance on this abominable mockery .of re hgi'JU?. service, we beard a whining voice sing oat, .Tm.gwins , to heben on a white boss.' .

Another cried oat,'Bless de Lord, tell Jesus to send down a rope and I'll climb up to heben.' This last idea struck a dozen or more with loree, sud they j am ped np ?nd down, shouting, 'Sen d down de rope, and we'll all climb to heben." -A Washington lutter in tbe New York Herald states that, from advices received in . that -city, tho resider t members of the Demo? cratic. Executive Committee affirm with confi? dence" that' the following States are certain to go for 8ejmour ?nd Blair: New York, Connec? ticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,. Ifiw?uri, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, the three Paoiflo Staates, and all the Southern 8tatos except South Carolina and Florida. Even in tho most Radical ci the New England States tho Democrats count upon some gains m members of Congress. On the other band, the Republican Central Committee profess to have information opon which they ground, in many respects, -very different conclusions. They tacitly oonoede the loss of New York, but the; ere hopeful, and to all appearances confi? dent, of caiiying.Ohio and Pennsylvania, They claim all the Western States, bat are distrust ful of the South; and while they are hopeful as io the general result, the disinterested obser? ver cannot fail to notice tbe most positive evi? dences of anxiety and alarm. -Paris secured two holidays out of the "fete Napoleon" this year. The 15tb or August ailing on Saturday, Friday was added by the generous Emperor. Toe great event of the first day was the review of some 80,000 troops, which took place under a blazing sun on the Qiamps Elysees. Every place was crowded, ss there were half a million spectators. The Empress stood at a window of the palace, dressed in turquoise blue silk, clouded over with Yaleiioiennea lace, while the Emperor, with the Prince and staff, Lord Napier and others, rode down the line. Then the troops filed past. There were some droll but charac? teristic scones-such as the little boy-orphan of some old National Guard, and weariag his decorations who, marching between two col? umns, halted, al great risk to his poor little self, and "presented arms'' to the Emperor and Prince, to tho evident delight of father and son. Then there was the "National Guardsman," il 1 who oame on the ground with fixed bay? onet, and on his arm his mother, an old dame in a "foulard" an list slippers; and, finally, tho " vivandi?res," who were so fat that they re? sembled a Hottentot Venns. As each division of this great army ot the people ot Paris defiled past the Emperor and the heir opparont of France, there arose a choer which might have been heard at onze at tho Tuileries and th? Arc de Triomphe. It was not mere cheering, but audible enthusiasm. Ou Saturday came the civil fete. This was not so largely attended as that of last year, when the Exposition was in full blast; but it is estimated that the popula? tion of Paris was doubled. Beggars, organ grinders and street professionals of all kinds have free scope on this day, and well they used the privilege. Then the theatres were opened gratis, where Nilsson sang in " Hamlet," and the "Pirates do la Savane," "L'Abime," and all the popular pieces wore given. Fairs, open air sports and gambling followed in the after? noon, and in the evening the Place de la Con corde was lighted up with thc electric light und fireworks innumerable. -The attention of farmers along the sea? shore and inlets has been attracted recently to the value of salt mud as a fertilizer. The American Agriculturist says OD this subject : "Large quantities of mud accumulate in the bays and coves along the sea-shore, made up of the wash of rivera, of decayed manure, vege? tation, and in many cases, also, of animal re? mains, shell-fish, and very minute organism. It is found in many placea of great depth, and so soft that an animal won! 1 sink out of sight in it. It i 8 very fine, and of great value as a fertilizer. Near the ehoro this mud is laid bare at very low tide, and it might be easily secured by the use of wheelbarrows and planks. The deeper water eel grass Btiikes its roots into it, and tho mud is pulled up in large quantities with the oel grass rakes. Much of the virtue attributed to the grass, which is gene? rally usod by shore farmers, is doubt? less due to this mud. More of the mud and less of the grass would be bet? ter policy. Wo have Been," says ?ho Agricul? turist, "the mud applied as a dressing for corn and potatoes with the best results, "lt is an excellent top-dies y in? for grass, often doub? ling, tho crops the first season. An analysis of this article, made by Professor Johnson, shows that'the organic matter contains nearly four and a half per cent, .of ..nitrogen, or nearly j double the amount found in good peat. The mad should be weathered a few months before it is applied. Bummer is the best time to se? cure it."' 'AoorTespondent of the Providence Journal adds to this testimony the statement that the benefit of salt mud as a manure is well understood by farmers along ino coast of Massachusetts. There the salt mud is hauled six or eight miles from the seashore into the country, and pays the farmer well for his labor. There is an abundance of this fertilizer in por? tions of this State, and the subject is com? mended to the attention of farmers so situ? ated as to be ablo to avail themselves of it. CHARLESTON. . -r> SATURDAY MORNING, SEP I EMBER 5, 1868. For President,.HORATIO SEYMOUR. For Vke-Pretilmt.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. Trio Elective Franchise. To the People of South Carolina: It was referred to the ? tato Central Execu - tive Committee, by the late Democratic Con? vention, to inquire into the disabilities im? posed, "by reason of the war, upon a portion of our peoplo, restraining them from the exer? cise of the elective franchise in South Carolina, and to publish the conclusion attained, for the information of the people of the State. The committee in discharge of that duty, announce I that they hare examined the subject, and beg to Btate : 1. That no su?h disabilities now exist by or under the acts of Congress, known as the Re? construction act, the State having been of? ficially declared to bo in the Union. 2. That no such disabilities exist under the so-called amendment, known as the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the disabilities therein expressed hav? ing reference ? to . office-holding, and not to voting. 3. That no such disabilities exist by the so called State Constitution of 1868. under which it is claimed that the State has been recon? structed and restored to the Union. Tho undersigned, therefore, announce that no such disabilities exist by force of any law, OT^opposed law, or a uthority whatever; and they urge their hitherto disfranchised fellow citizens, in every part of the State, to exercise their right to vote at'the coming election for President and Vioe-Preeident, of which right they have been so long deprived by military power. By order of th? EXECUTIVE COMMIT TEE. The Reasons Why. The reasons why the colored people in thia State are deserting Radicalism by the thousand are both few and plain. There is no abstract principle in them, no osthetical feeling or theoretical sympathy with any? body or anything. They are direct and personal in their application, and are pow? erful and convincing because of the force with which they appeal to every man who has a body to clothe, an appetite to satisfy, jr a family to support. As long as promises of dollars and land ?vere the currency of the South, the Radi? als knew no check or rebuff; but now that ihese promises have heen refused payment, he colored people understand that their interests lie in another direction. They mow by experience that the very class rebose homes were to be seized for their senefit harbor no malice toward them, and ire just as willing io befriend them as though alien interlopers had never attempt? ed to destroy all good feeling, and make mortal enemies of races which depend mu? tually the one upon the other. Hence, the negroes turn away from the delights of unlimited votes and innumerable publie speeches, and make up their minds, with characteristic quickness, that a bird in the aand is worth two in the bush. The colored people are employed by the whites; they rely on white intelligence and Lhe capital of white men for their every honest occupation; the land which they mili vate, and the implements which they use, belong to the white man alone They live by the white man, prosper as he pros? pers, and fail as he fails. But if they ad? here to Ridicalism they will lose their situ? ations and will have no work to do. There will be no means by which they may earn a livelihood in the fields of the country or Lhe streets of the town. They will become vagrants, without employment and without Dread ; and this will not be because they ?re discharged by their employers aud yected from their quarters on account of heir political principles, but because a !0?"uuance of Radical rule will kill trade and' make successful agriculture imposai ble. The choice is between b ead and no bread, and the colored man wifely says, let me at least hare bread for mysrif, my wife and children. There is another reason, and that is the desire of the colored people to be on the w: ling aide. They feel that the white Radicals arc shaking in their shoe?, and are pondering the propriety of clasping to their hearts the Democratic colors. They see that the white people intend to carry this State for SEYXOUR and CLAIR, and had rather vote on the side of about three hun? dred thousand victorious white South Caro? linians than on the eide of one or two hcn dred defeated white adventurers. The knowledge that a bird in the hand h worth two in the bush, and that it is safest to be on the winning side-these are the roaBona why the colored men in South Car? olina are going over en masse to the ranks of the National Demooracy. Flay Tears Hence. ? recent article in the London Spectator contains some curious speculations upon the question-whether the next fifty years can by possibility witness as marvellous a change, political, social and material, as the sst fifty have wrought. The great agenc es of steam, the telegraph, the factory and the press, have all been born, or at least reached manhood, within the last half century. Can it be that we are on the threshold of dis? coveries equally new and equally tremen? dous in their effects upon mankind ? Take, for example, a single department of human knowledge, the healing art. Is the day far distant when physicians, in the words of a great Edinburgh surgeon, "shall be familiar with the chemistry of most diseases; when they shall know the exact organic poisons that produce them, with all their exact an? tidotes and eliminatories; when they shall look upon the cure of some maladies as simply a series of chemical problems and formula); when they shall melt down all calculii, necrosed bones, &o, chemically, and not remove them by surgical opera? tions; when the bleeding in amputations and other wounds shall be stemmed, not bj septic ligatures or stupid ' needles, but by the simple application of haemostatic gases or washer; when the few wounds then re? quired in Burgery shall all be swiftly and immediately healed by the first intention; when medical men shall be able to stay the ravages of tubercle, blot out fevers and in? flammations, avert and melt down morbid growths, cure cancer, destroy all morbific Organic germs and ferments, annul the deadly influences of malaria and conta gions, and by these and various other means markedly lengthen out the average duration of human life; when our hygienic oondition and laws shall have been changed by State legislation, so as to forbid all com? municable diseases from being communica? ted, and remove all causes of sickness that are removable; whtu the rapidly inorcnaing length of human life shall begin to fulfil that ancient prophecy, 'the child shall die an hundred years old;' when there shall have been achieved, too, advances in other walks of life, far beyond our present state of progress; when houses shall be built and many other kinds of work performed by machinery, and not by human hands; when the crops in these islands shall be increased five or ten-fold, and abundance of human food be provided for our increased popula tion by our fields King irrigated by that waste organio refuse of our towns which we now recklessly rue off into our rivers and seas; when man shall have invented means of calling down rain at will; when he shall have gained cheaper and better motive powers than steam; when he shall travel from continent to continent by submarine railways or by flying and ballooning through the air'." Though these sentences may read like the dreams of a poet and enthusi? ast, they contain nothing beyond the fair range of scientific conjecture. Again, we hardly know, we can scarcely guess, where the application of powers already used may end. Suppose it true, as many men of mark in science believe, that the next great step may be in sea-going steamers, that in? ternational communication maj be accele? rated as internal communication has been, that we may yet see New York brought within two days' journey of Liverpool. The probability is that in ten years every social condition now existing in Europe would have ceased to exist, that the mil? lions who toil for others, and on whose toil modern society is built would choose to toil for themselves, would precipitate them? selves in a rush, to which all the movements of mankind have boen trifles, upon the New World. Suppose the population of Britain and Germany reduced to ten millions each a change less in magnitude than that which has occurred in many countries-?nd those ten millions only retained by advantages as great as the New World can offer, what would all the changes of the past half cen? tury be to thitt ? Yoo WILL do wt-11 to read the outline of the speech of Senator D iddy Cain upon the Social Equality bill, published in our Co lumbia correspondence this morning. This colored man, who, a few months ago, was hounding on his legions to burn down Charleston, now declares that he is opposed to social equality, and that the Sooiiil Equality bill is untimely, unwise and inju dicious. The speech was moderate and sensible, and stands out in striking contrast to the bombastic and vindictive declamation of Wright and Whipper. AN INTKREKTINCI sketch of the birth, life, and probable early death of the Social Equality bill will be found in oar Columbia correspondence, published ibis morning. (?0partntrsl)ij) Halite.
