Hun? dreds left tho b idding hatless and coattest, and tho inquiry to-day is not only who got the money, but who gathered the harvest in the way of hats and coats. Some parties have evi? dently made a ?good thing' of it, and those who were tho victims must remember the old adage -that tboy who daace must pay the fiddler." ' -Tho inauguration ball at Washington, al? though a failure aa far as dancing was con? cerned, preson t cd a grand display of the wealth beauty and distinction of tho country. General Grant, for onoe in bis life, appeared ; in full 'evening dress, that is to say, he wore fine broadcloth frowsers, a black swallow-tail coat, a white vest, a white cravat, and white kid gloves. His boots were faultlessly polished, and his hair was combed and brushed with ex? quisite care. Among the ladies, long trail . drosses were all the rage, principally in heavy i rep ?ilk and moire antique. A low short ^.dresses and panniers made their appearance, 'but they were evidently tabooed Ly the great s majority of tho ladies. Basques wore much worn, and tho square Mary Stuart style of stomachers was extensively patronized. Here are a few of the moro noticeable costumes: Miss Blanche Butler wore a pale pink Bilk, square in neck; train very long; pannier of point-applique ltoe, and hair in ringlets; jewels, diamonds and pearls. A niece of General Butler wore a long tarlo tan dress over skirt of pink satin trimmed with white satin ; bair powdered blonde; jewels, diamonds and pearls. Mrs. General Gaines, of New Ot leans, was attired in a black and gold lama dress, trimmed with gold fringe, bine bonnet and diamond jewelry. Mrs. Christmas, daughter of Mrs. Gaines, wore white alpaca with brae satin trimmings, gold jewelry, and bair in puffs and Chris. Mr?. Whitney, daughter-in-law of Mrs. Gaines, a bride of two weeks, wore white moire antique with satin stripes, hair in puffs hud braids, with magnificent pearls for jewels. Mrs. Drake Mills was attired in a mauve satin dress, with tn rio of black Chantilly lace, Maia brooch, necklace, abd earlings ot magnificent diamonds. Sooies of gentlemen in retiring left their coats mid nat? behind them, rather than wait the intermediate timo necessary to reach tbe-counter of the cloak room. /The raab to supper was immense, and those who came late had to be satisfied with a distant glimpse of the jellies and salads. ?Since the groat draft riot in New York, the negro population of that city has fallen off about three thousand. At the prosent time ii numbers between 13,000 and 14,000, all told. Among the bettor class are a lew doctors (at least they call themselves doctors), two or three editors, about a dosen preaohoji aud a couplo of lawyers, so-called. These lawyers never go into court, but they find considerable practice in the settlement of dispotes among the negro families. Quarrels are very fre? quent in the neighborhoods occupied chiefly by the blacks, and as the negro has an aver? sion to going into ooart, he generally takes his case to tho black lawyer and h is it fixed by bim. About three-fourths of the negroes who work steadily are employed as coachmen, waiters and white washers. In the busy sea? son-May and June-tho latter often earn Ave ?dollars a day. A few negroes are employed as porters and carmen in largo stores down town, and these earn from fifteen to twenty doilars a week. A few more bavo regu? lar trades, and earn as much as white Til] men. The majority, however, do not average moro than a dollar a day, and a large number do not work at all, preferring to haug rouud policy shop", and live on tho earnings of their wives and sifters, wno make a good deal oi money the year round as lauudrosses and houso-ecrubbors. Now and then a oolored family may bc found living in clean and com? fortable apartments, but throe-fourths of thom Uve in old rookeries, hardly fit for dogs and cats. Ihey have nine ohurches and about a dozen societies, including, of course, a Union League. Thc more intelligent and thoughtful among them centre all their hopos on the gen? eration to come, and spare no pains to im? prove and educate the children.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1869. Oar Riches ?ntl Oar Poverty. When we clap our hands and rejoice, be? cause of the profita which have aoorued to the South from the cotton crop of the year, it must not be presumed that every oorner of every State is overflowing with milk and honey, or that overy Southerner is a minia? ture Croesus who may jingle a merry tune with the very hard oash in his pooket. A great deal of money has been deservedly made. The South is stronger than she was two years ago. There is much hoarded money in Georgia, and a gread deal in our own State; and yet some parts of South Carolina are still in a very destitute con? dition, and many of our poople are taxed to tho utmost to keep the gluut wolf from the door. This is especially the o?ie along the sea? coast and on the sea islands. Crop after orop has failed, whatever its early promise Money has boen poured out like water upon the fertile soil; but there haB been no fine yield to make up for former losses, and each year the embarrassments of the planter or I the incumbrancos upon his property be? come more serioui and more difficult to minage. The short cotton planters made A fine crop last year and sold it at high prices; the loog cotton planters hope this year to do the hame. The one has been liv? ing upon the reality, the other upon the ex? pectation. It is for this reason that our charitable and benevolent societies are compelled to continue their applications for distant con? tributions. This they oannot avoid. Tho Pioneer Educational Aid Society, for in? stance, would speedily collapse if the North? ern and Western donations came to au end. It is a society for the education of the sons of persons who are ruined beyond recovery. But it only helps those who help themselves, proposing to educate and make good citi? zens of boys who must otherwise grow up in ignorance. The sooiety desires to bridge over tho ohasm of unmerited poverty; to give aid only where to withhold it would be. an injury to the individual and to the State. The objects of Buck an association must commend it to every generous mind. Our necessities are temporary in their nature, and before many years the low-country may be able to take the association in charge and defray its whole expense. At pres? ent, however, this cannot be done, and the association must continue to rely on the benevolence of the charitable souls in the North and West who have already done so much to give it a substantial foundation aid to enlarge the sphere of its usefulness. These warm hearted and g?nerons people are not forgotten. They may rely upon it that our debt of gratitude will one day be honestly paid, with all its long arrears of charity aad love. Tlie Quarantine Hospital. ~~~~ . 1 The bill to establish a lazaretto or quar- ' antine hospital, in the harbor of Charles? ton, has passed in the House, and there is apparently no good reason why it should fall to receive the sanotion of the Senate. Thc necessity of having a place of refuge for persons attacked by yellow fever and other contagious diseases was recognised many years ago, and led to thc purchase by the State of the quarantine buildings on Morris Island. These were used as hos? pitals and as tua -tera for thc nurses and attendants until they went down in thc gen? eral ruin of the war. It was by the State that the quarantine hospitals wore support? ed, a sufficient sum of money -for the pur? pose being appropriated annually, and paid out by thc City of .Charleston, into whose treasury were paid thc fees received for thc maintenance cf the sick. The expense of the hospitals was hot great, abd there was so great a community of interest-the up? country being as much concerned as the seaboard-.that every pains was taken to keep them in a thoroughly effioient con? dition. It has been objected that the present quarantine law requires that the comman? der of each vessel quarantined shall pro? vide quarters for such persons on bis ves? sel as shall be under the care of the health officer, and that a State quarantine hospital is therefore unnecessary. We reply that the sick cannot be properly taken caro of on shipboard, (specially ?beard ? small ship. This was seen in the case of the Bremen bark Gaue?, which bad aboard some persons who were violently ill with ship fever. It was found impossible to give them all t^e attention that was required while they remained on the Gauss, and purely as a matter of benevolence they were taken to thc Roper Hospital. From this place tho fever spread about, and in thc vicinity of the Roper Hospital there were, we be? lieve, several oases of typhus fever. Had the quarantine hospital existed the sick immigrants would have* boen taken there. They would have been just as well nursed as in the city, anil tho public would have ran no ri Bk. Fer about ten years Charleston has been free from yellow fever, with thc exception of a few sporadic casca, and its terrors and dangers aro almost forgot? ten. Bat thc subtle enemy will crrep in if we leave cur outposts unguarded. Yellow lack wilt certainly pay itt s visit, unless wc sro armed at oll points sad ready to fight E CHARLESTON DAILY him in tho wards of our hospitals whenever ho makes bin oppearanoe. A serious out- | break of tho fever thi? year would do the I trade of ihe oi*y and State groat Laim. | Business would bc chicked uud dulled, | travel would b > suspended, tho mercantile community would by hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket; and all, under Providence, because the proper precautions had been neglected, and the State had not taken steps to keep this fever from us, or us from the fever. We believe, then, fhat it is Round and sensible policy to euforce rigidly the quar? antine laws, and to spend what may be nec? essary for the const! net ion and equipment of a comfortable and well arranged laza? retto. There is some money, it is presumed, in the State treasury, and SKROOO of it can? not, it seems to us, be better spent than in the erection of the building mentioned in the lazaretto or hospital bill. This bill will, it ia hoped, pass tho Senate and at once be? come a law. Kt lises ot* tue Tight Hope. Tho satirist of human nature would have found ample scope for his cynical meditations could be but have been present at the extra? ordinary exhibitions which, for tho past three or four days, our usually impassive city has afforded. A crowd "estimated at not less than 10,000 persons of all ages, sexes, sizes and colors," according to the public prints, block? ing up the streets and sidewalks, to gaze for hours upon tho performances of a man with a balancing polo upon a wire stretched some fifty feet above their heads, is certainly a speotaole cac ula ted to arouse some wonder and not a little curious reflection. To tho question, "What wont they out tor to see ?" can any ade? quate answer be given ? What is tho principle underlying the popular passion for excitements of this sort ? We are in the habit of telling ourselves, and lor the most part of bolieving tho assertion, that this nineteenth century ie infinitely more civilized, moro refined and en? lightened than any previous age of humanity. The dogma fits in with what wo conceive to be a law of being and the natural order of things, ?nd is undoubtedly, on the face of it, a plaus? ible hypothesis. But if civilization means anything, it must moan a civilization of the inner and not solely ot the outer man. If re? finement and enlightenment moan anything, they must moan an advancement of the mo? tivo-principio of humanity, not simply au im? provement in the method of manifestation. Otherwise, we aro at once involved in tho old antagonism botweon soo ming and being, and the most perfectly to assume the virtues which we least possess will becomo at once the test of progto?s. The bull fights hud gladiatorial conflicts of the past have generally boen admitted to point tho extremo moral of refined barbarism. Will tho apologist for the spectator of Professor Bond'? performances poiut out tho precise line of demarcation between the characteristics of the ancient and the modern exhibitions ? The interest of ibo former hinged on thc fact of the deadly peril of the combatants. Beautiful women, with lips apart and bated breath, wat oho J thrust and counter-thrust, attack, feint and retreat, and when the catastrophe came, which carno so often, soon learned lo check unwomanly tremors, and, even in later days, td turn down tho fatal thumb. On what does the interest of Professor Bond's gymnas? tics turn ? Simply and solely on the fact that only a hair's breadth divides him from a hor? rible death. If this be doubted, apply a prac? tical test.. Lot Professor Bond lower his ropo to within ten feet of tho ground and co vor the stones bolow with sawdust. Will he get his crowd or 10,000 ? Will ho get 1000 ? Will ho get 100 ? No one pretends to suppose that he will. The fascination is gone. If he falls he will not be hurt. . But," say our apclojpsts, "we have confidence in him; we are convinced "that he will not fall." Mighty power of faith in one of whom, a week ago, no one in Charles? ton had ever beard I Surely sceptics must be mistaken in supposing that haman nature finds it so hard to accept the marvellous. The simple fae* is, that the whole affair is an example of mental intoxication; of that fatal impulso towards unnatural excitement whose prevalence among a people is one of the surest signs of popular demoralization. The best thing Professor Bond oan do to please tho thousands who flock to his daily exhibitions, would be to fall and break his neck. Not one of those who have gazed spell-bound upon his exploits but would forever regret being absent from euch a catastrophe. Meanwhile, thor? oughfares must be rendorod impassable, tf afilo must bs suspended, and the world in general must "stand agaze like Joshua's moon in Ajalon," to allow this pleasant ex '.mont of being si brave aveo (a peau d'aulrui. _?tttlL WANTED, A COMPKTLJIT IIOUSK s Mi VAN r (male.)

J 'Po tHe l'coplo ot* tlie SoutUorn States t WHEN THE PDUE MEDICIN \L RESTORATIVE, now BO vMeiy knov.n a*WOLFE\s SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, waa in'roduccd into the world under the ondorBement ot four thousand lead 11,2 member? of tho medical proiossion some twenty years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and iiBofiil preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest ll with strongest possible safe? uurd against counter? feiters, ?nd to render all attempts to pirate lt diffi? cult and dangerous. It wa? submitted to distin? guished chemists for snaiysia, and pronounced by them <he purest spirit over manufactured. Its puri? ty and properties having been thus ascertained, sam? ples of the article were forwarded to ton thousand physicians including all tho leading practitioners in the United states, for pnrpo ;es ol experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a report of I he result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand ot the most eminent medical men in tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, thoy said, had lunn been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquor* of commerce, all of which were moro or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar ex- cllence and strength of thc ol of juniper, which formed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic ele? ment, give it. in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiorly over every other diffusive uti un li? ant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials trom professional mon of the highsst rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Fobnapps, os one of tho gu?ranteos of its genutne ne<*s. Other precautions against fraud were Mso adopted ; a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, ?Jae simile of the proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name trad that of the preparation were cm bossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with bis private seal. No article had ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the Introduction of Wolfe's ffohiedam Aromatic Schnapps, lu 1851; and the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York during that year. It might be supposed by persons una- quain1 ed with the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the reputation ol honorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that the pro? tections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introductions and sale of counterfeits. Tboy seem, however, only to have Btimula'ed tho rtpocity of impostor!. Thc trade mark ot th ? proprietor has been stolen; thc indorse? ment willoh his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have beeq,imitated, his advertisements para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of the gonulne contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus mode bis name and brind a cover for poison. 1 be public, tho medical prot?t sion and tho sick, for whom tho Schiedam Aromatic hchnapps is pre? scribed as a remedy, ure equally internste 1 with tho proprietor in tho detection and suppression of those nefarious piacticea. The genuine article, manuiac t med at the establishment of the undersigned In chiedam, Holland, ls distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with au essential extract of the berry of the Italian j UL lpc, of unequalled pu? rity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is treed from every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints havo been received from the leading physicians and families In tho Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic SchnippeJta those markets; and travellers, who are in the habit ot using it as an antidote to the baneful influence of unwholesome river water, tes? tify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of tbe undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the aibject, and to forward to him the names of auch parties as they may ascer? tain to be engaged in the atrocious system of decep? tion. In conclusion, the undersigned wonld say that he has produced, from under the hands of the most distingu?*hea mee cf scienre In America, proofs un answerable of the purity sud medicinal excel? lence of the bchiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; that he has expended mmy thousand dollars in sur? rounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect, the public and himself against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can be uni? formly depended upon ai unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison and experiment in all Ita forms; and from every' ordeal the preparation whhh bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant He, therefore, feels it a duty be owes to his follow-citiz ms generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evi? dencien of Identity, and he calls upon the press and the pu Mic to aid bim m his efforts to remedy BO great au evil. ?.*?
