AU kinds of grain are s ?liing at ten cen a a pound in Salt Like City, and butter at seventy-five cents to one dollar.

The price Of one of these sympathetic effusions is often as low as twenty-five eents, and seldom higher | c titan ten dollars. -Mr. ?eorge H. Miles, of Maryland, has J nit concluded an American comic opera, j adapted from the Arabian story of "Abou Has- 3 san." Manager Ford, of Baltimore, has secured the piece, with the intention of organizing a special company for its representation in tbe principal cities. "Aben Hassan" will be pra? ised at U?e Holiday-street Theatre, in Balti? more, in the latter part of April. Musical critics speak in the highest terms of the bril? liancy, originality and power of the music The libretto is daintily written, and is worthy . of the author's known reputation as a d ra in at io writer. The comic clement predominates in both m mic and dialogue. . -"Mack" tells an unpleasant story of Grant on the authority of "old man Blair." The latter says be took pains to inform Grant that General F. P. Blair did not wish to embarrass the administration by holding office under it, and that he would resign the position of Pacific Railroad Commissioner m a month or sooner if Grant wishe I to make a change before that timo. TJp to this time Grant knew nothing of Blair's holding au office under government, but when it was brought to his notice in this way he immediately ordered his removal, deny? ing even the privilege of voluntary resignation. The samo day that General Frank Blair, of the Federal army, was thus graciously removed, General Longstreet, of the Confederate army, was appointed to a fat place. -The New Cleans Times has thc following : "All distinctions of color being abolished, wc I j can freely and frankly say that no two more respectable or capable men from this State have applied for a recognition of their merits and services >.o the cause of Radicalism than B. F. Joubert and Major Dumas. They are natives of Louisiana, of the ancient popula? tion, and if not ol' pure Caucasian stock, one of them at least, Mr. Joubert, vt - Jd pass everywhere for a white gentleman, tar above tho ordinary status of those who demean them? selves so far as to seek a public office. The other, Major Dumas, is an octoroon, tho son of a wealthy proprietor of this city, and a gentle? man of education and refinement. They aro beth, Joubert and Dumas, men of culture and travel, who speak . "O languages well, who bare the reputation of being honest and hon? orable mes ia all their transactions, and who would fill any ot *bc Federal offices io the city far better than the majority of the white seek? ers thereof." -It appears from a communication sent to Congress by the Secretary of War, that, unless otherwise provided by law, thc existing rates of pay of enlisted .men of the army will cease fron- and after thc 20th of August next, and after that date a return will be made to the Tates fixed prior to the late war, which was for - privates of cavalry, $12 pei month, and vates of infantry, $11, instead of $16 per m as now allowed to both of those classes this question, the Paymaster-Genera! tl that thc present rates of pay should bo al! until the end of the current enlistmc least, while General Sherman says in a that ho-does not believe that Congress vi to reduce the pay of privates, and recomn that Congress bo asked to pass a joint rt tion extending the timo for tho veducti pay for one or two yoars longer. -The Washington correspondents say the Georgia Governor Bullock deliberate!) cured the Senate of his State to reject th? teenth amendment, in order that ho raigh that rejection as an argument for the e Bion of the State from tho Union; and now canting the result of his own wort reason why his State should ho handed again to the boys in blue and the neg This is all understood to be a dodge oa lock's part to be continued in a* Governi act of Congress, knowing that he would b feated if ever a vote could be had. He is ing to degrade a State by exalting bin General Grant is known to have a very st aversion to this Georgia crowd, from Bu up, and to have declared that as Georgia the Union she cannot be put out, but tbs deficiencies in her case must be remedied i in the Union and with her still in it. A veto may, with reason, be expected upon Georgia grab-game, if it goes through Congress. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MOB?NG, MASCH 29, 18? The Close of the Session. We did not suppose that the General sembly of South Carolina, elected by t versal suffrage and under the restrioti of the Fourteenth Constitutional Ame ment, would be in a hurry to adjourn. ' body was chiefly made up of colored t bera, tailors, carpenters and plantat bands, whose services in the field and the anvil were worth, perhaps, ten doll a month "and found." In the Legiekti they drew six dollars a day and milea besides perquisites; so that it is not s prising that they amused themselves seventeen weary weeks in doing their bes! urn topsy-turvy all that the former aessi lad left of respectable and venerable be State. Happily, however, they ha tdjourned at last; leaving the tax-pay< me hundred and seven new Acts and twc y-one new Joint Resolutions. We ought, maybe, to thank the Genei Vssembly for not remaining in session i he year round, and it is doubtless captio :rit idem to suggest that it was hardly wor vhile for the State to pay at the rate ri 100 each for bills to incorporate color ire companies, to incorporate the color Amateur Literary and Fraternal Associ ion, the colored Longshoremen's Protect!' Jnien Association, and the like. It is trt hat the old Legislatures of South Carolin n which her people were represented t ipright and intelligent white men, usual! ate but three or four weeks, at a cost i ome $40,000. There is something, hov ver, to be paid for the privilege of bein epresented bv white adventurers and it lofahr negroes, and, ss tn? wams orxfi lation held the purse strings, we ought t hank our stars that they did not bleed i 0 the tune of a oool half million. Grun ?ling may be very unreasonable and sho 1 very poor appreciation of the blessing if the situation; but it must be said thc he white peeple of the State do object mot naphatically to a legislative session i rhich so much is done for the Radical tag ag and bob-tail and so little for the whit leople of the State. The list of Acts and Joint Resolutions i i curiosity in its way. giving unmiBtakabl vidonoe of the cupidity and timidity of th ombination party. There is an Aot t sake an appropriation for the pay an aileage of members, an Aot to provide fo he conversion of State securities, an Ao authorizing the pawning of State bonds, ai Let to authorize a loan for the relief of th Treasury, and the huge Appropriation bil ?f whioh we have already spoken. This i he financial work of the session. Fiv Vets to give the members and officers thei pay, and to secure the State officials frot running short of Veuve Clicquot and Pat ie Foie Gras, until the General As3embl; :an meet again and vote another sup ply ! And the chronic fright of the "Hon "orable Senators and Representatives,' saused by the romances of Tolbert an H?ge, and the proclaiming and swearing o that excellent individual, R. K. Scott, Gov ernor, found ita expression in tho Act ti organize the militia, and the Joint R?solu tions authorizing the Governor to purchasi two thousand rifles of the most improvei pattern, with the necessary ammunition and to employ an armed force for thc pre servation of the peace. Only think of it Two thousand rifles and an armed fo.-oe ti keep the peace in South Carolina. Why, i one tithe of what Scott and his minions sa? wers true, one hundred thousand rifles wit! one hundred thousand WHITE men to beat ind use them could not keep peace in itu State. The legislators supped full of hor? rors. Lank Leslie stood aghast in speechless trance, To arms I cried Bosomon, and couched his quivering lanac. So they provided for the immediate anni ailaliou of every mnn in buckram, and rc ieved their overwrought feelings byrcmov hg the county seat of Barnwell to Black? ville and ratifying the Fifteenth amend? ment. When we take from the long roll the Acts we have named, thc Acts of incorporation which could have been included in one gen? eral law-and thc acts and resolutions which were directed to remunerating some? body for something he had done or prom? ised to do, there is left but a beggarly array af measures to represent the public work of the session. Omitting the railroad bills, there are about a dozen Acts and Resolutions of a public character, in return for all this labor and profuse expenditure of money. Whipper, the negro lawyer, was elected to jodify the laws of the Stato, in company with Mr. Corbin, the United States DiBlrict ittorney r.nJ Senator from Charleston. Slliott, a ne?T?, was confirmed as Assistant I dj u tant and Inspector-General of the Militia. A variety of fat places were con rived and a number of salaries increased. The white people of the State have abso lutely nothing, but quite as much as they looked for. ? In one particular, at least, tho Legisla? ture has bargained without its host. The members knew absolutely nothing of what they were doing. They hacked and hewed, slashed and slew. Old laws were repealed and new ones enacted, proviso was heaped upon proviso, resolution upon resolution; until there is hardly a man in the State who knons what the law is, where it be? gins, and where it comes to an end. Already the Homestead Law, and the Ordinance can? celling negro bonds, have been pronounced unconstitutional. The bill to declare and make valid the Charleston election is now before the oourls as being unconstitutional from beginning to end. There is scarcely au act passed which may not be success? fully attacked because of some flaw or ir? regularity. How many bills and resolutions flatly violate Section 20, Artiole 2, of the State Constitution, whioh declares that "Every aot or resolution having the force "of law shall relate to but one subject, and "that shall be expressed in the title ?" The whole judicial system is in a muddle, and when the lawyers get fairly to work the courts will have their hands full, perhaps for years to come. This is no exaggeration; for if, as O'Connell said, a coach and four oould be driven throngh an act of Parlia? ment, a whole railroad train might be driven through the Acts of the present Legislature of South Carolina. After all it is a comfort that the General Assembly has adjourned, and that the pe? culiarly favored and peculiarly flavored senators and representatives will not re? main in Columbia to vex ns during the warm summer weather. Of coarse, they will meet again in the fall; but we feel that by that time there may be influences at work whioh will make them less violent, less injurious and less costly, than during the last two sessions. ??O?Dti.
