Cause-high rents. -Two British war ships, tho Royal Alfred and the Niobe, are expected soon at New York. The former is commanded by Admiral Slr Q. Rodney Mundy. -Colonel Wm. E. Mano, proprietor of the Mobile Daily Register, married his watd, Miss Selle ?ones, of Alabama, last Friday, at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York. -A married couple in Kentucky, both of whom are deaf mutes, have an infant child that can hear, and whioh, it is thought, will bo able to articulate perfectly in dub' time. -Tho New York Express says: "Plain black silk suits, with httio, it abjr, trimmings, consti? tute the spring walking costumes of many of our most fashionable young ladies." -A. J. Walt, onco oho of the wealthiest mer? chants of Memphis, became insane tho other day, spilt a frionds's head open with a hatchet, ohopp d the arm of another almost off, and -finally, exclaiming "Vain world, good-bye I" th -ow himself from the window on the pave? ment, breaking his neck. -Three gentlemen of Chicago-such is the report-have clubbed together and ordered three copies of Longfellow'*! "Dante" to bo is? sued f >r them upon largo paper, to be illustrat? ed w.l'i Doro's and Flax.nan's designs and many ol the raro Dante prints. Only three oopies will bo printed, and the cost will be $1000 per copy. -A Japanese correspondent says tho Gre? cian bend has been in fashion in Japan for four centuries, ibo spinal ourvo had its origin in the oustom which the Japanese ladies have of carrying their babies on their back, and the pannier had its origin in tho broad silk girdle whioh* is swathed several times around the waist and fastened in a large bunch behind. -A party of men were surveying for a rail roal in New Jersey, and of course they were entitled to thc best there was along the line. At ODO houBo thoy stopped at the proprietor was a little tardy in producing the cider. It came atlast, and was tasted by one of the party with great deliberation, "flow much cider did yon make thia year?" he asked. "Fifteen bar? rels," was tho answer. Another sip. "Well, if you had hud another apple you might have made another barrel." -The celebrated McArdle case, in the Uni? ted States Supreme Court, has been deoided, Chief Justice Chaso delivering the opinion, dismissing tho case "for want of jurisdiction.1' Mc Ar die, it will be remembered, was tho Vicks? burg (Mississippi) editor arrested by General Ord, tried by military commission, and impris? oned in 1867 Tor printing "seditious articles" in the Vicksburg Times. On the trial by military commission the accused refused to plead, and a plea of not guilty was entered for him. Tho United States Circuit Court in Mississippi granted a writ of habeas corpus. The court held that the question presented involved the constitutionality of the act of Congress, (the Reconstruction act,) in virtue of which General Ord placed McArdle under arrest, and he deci? ded that act to be constitutional, thus decid? ing that the prisoner was subject to arrest and to trial beforo a military commission. He was therefore remanded, and the case came into tho United Kt t tes Supreme Court on an appeal from this decision, with the result above. -The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette, writing on Monday, says : "While th* political carnival is in progress in Washington, and Executive favors are being scattered broadcast among 'free American citi geniu' a courier arrives from the far-off region of Texas with official reporte for the War De? partment. At the little town of Jefferson, OD the head of Lake Caddo, are now fifteen hun? dred United States soldiers, occupied in guard? ing thirty of the most respectable citizens of the town, who were arrested more than four months since, and who have never boen allow? ed atrial or hearing of any kind. No one of them has ever been informed of the cause of his arrest. Tho courier announces to the Wai' Department that the soldiery have constructed a stockade surrounded with a ditch fifteen feet wide and twelve feet deep, and within the stockade ereoted a frame shed in which the prisoners are kept. A guard is constantly on duty within tho stockade ?nd another outside tot the stockade.1 ; No ono, not even counsel, ie allowed to speak to ono of these prisoners, except in the beurina or a file br ?oldies. Even their wives and daughters aro forbidden any intercourse whatever, except in particular cases, where a lady is occasionally allowed to talk to ber husband, who is brought out under a guard of eight men to the entrance of the stockade, but all such interviews are li nitcd to fifteen minutes. These prison or? havo made appoil after appeal for a trial, but all in vain. The War Department re?oives and enters upon its files these reports of 'Free American Citi? zens' imprisoned, bat ?ays-'General Rey? nolds must attend to iheir trial or release; it is no business of the War Department.' " -The terrible Blackstone tragedy in Phila? delphia bas boon followed by one somewhat similar but more sickening in its details. At Oakdale Township, Minn., on the morning of the 7th instant, Mr. James B. Gray v.as dis? covered sitting on tho steps of his granary, with a rope in his hand, alternately screaming ?nd whistling. An alarm was given, and Mr. Gray's father hastened to the house and push? ed open the door. His four little prattling grandchildren lay upon the floor side by side .pvered with a quilt, with their throats out -from sar to ear, and their faces gashed and .out in a horrible manner. Turning from tho .sickening sight, he staggered back to meet the gass of his maniac son, who was advancing to? wards him with a rope in his hand. Closing with him at ones, the agonized father would have ad? ded another to the ghastly list of victims but for timely arrival of assictanoe. In answer to in? quiries regarding bia wife, he said, "I killed them all with the axe, and they ?re gone to hea? ven. O, hang mel ban*; mel" He ?nally told them his wife was iu the granary. There tho body of Mrs. Oray was found, with hor feet to tho door, and her taco in a paddle of blood, with lier left arm extended. The only cloth? ing she had on wis a coarse cotton night-drees, a short rou? h coat belonging to her husband, which abo had evidently put on to protect hor from the cold morning air while she accompa? nied hor husband to tho barnyard, and a pair of ooar.se shoos, which in hor haste sho had loft untied. Mr. Oray was taken to prison. Ho says: "I thought I was coming to poverty that I was siokand would die aeon, and that my family would bo loft destitute, and I thought it would bo botter to send them to bea? ven at ouoe. I at onoe took the grubbing hoe and struck my wife on the bead with it. This did not kill her, and she sorbamod terri? ble. I thou stabbed her seven times, and she was dead. I took her u ? and carri od her to tho fir a, n-ho (iso, and laid her down'on the floor. Her screams bad awakened the ohildren, and Maggie oame out the door. I had a hard timo killing her." (Hero he stopped to exclaim, "O, I tell you it was the bloodiest murder on re? cord V) " I then took toe axe and placed the other children down on the floor and put my knee on their breasts, and took the head of the axe so" (describing the aotioo, holding the axe by both hands and chopping down) "and cut their throats, and almost cut their heads off. I then put them side by Bide on the floor, and got a rope and tried to hang myself, bat I couldn't succeed.*' CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1868. Bearding ti?e Brit isl? Lion. Distant BS we are from the intrigues and plots of the Federal oapital, it is difficult to tell whether Senators Sumner and Chand? ler and William Pitt Fessendcn are in seri? ous earnest when they noe language whioh should make an amicable settlement of the Alabama claims improbable, if not impos? sible. Whatever may be the opinion of the Rad? ical politicians, it is reasonably cortain that, from the English point of view, the Reverdy Johnson treaty made every con? cession and admission that the publio tem? per would allow. The determination of the Senate committee to make an unfavorable report caused more relief than regret; for, while it was seen that there was at least a remote prospect of an outbreak of hostili? ties between the old country and the hew, it' was felt that the Radical leaders had made up their minds to keep the wound open, and to consent to no settlement whioh would not be a recognition by Great Bri? tain of the superior power, wisdom and magnificence of these United States. - And during the last few weeks there has beep no chango in English popular sentiment, it being very doubtful whether Lord Claren? don could now offer with safety the very terms which the Senate has so cavalierly rejected. The suggestion that the United States will take Canada as a receipt in full for the damages caused by the depredations of the Alabama and her companions, will receive no more attention in England than the propo? sition to return Gibraltar to Spain. Canada is a costly jewel in the Imperial crown, and there would be no lasting objection to a separatron of the princely oolony from the mother country, if that separation were the natural consequence of increased popula? tion, mature strength and a desire for more thorough independence. When, however, such men as Sumner and Chandler demand the disintegration of the Empire and the annexation of the province of Canada to the United States, they are only putting it out of the question for any Ministry to comply with their terms, without perform? ing a political kari kari. Nor do we believe that the senators who talk so boldly with dosed doors, or the jour? nals who give the English Government twenty-four monea daily of exhortation and abuse, have any serious idea that their proposition will be accept ed. Indeed, they do not desire that it should be. It is apart of their performance to find a cry whioh shall take the plaoe of that of "negro rights and "Radical glorification/' and they will not be satisfied while there is another world of words to oonquer. Their theory is peace, as it is that of President Grant. Their practice is war, as the policy whioh gives the greatest opportunities for laying up power and ac? quiring commercial oapital. The longer the disorder and uncertainty last the better for them; only the babbling and boiling of the oanldron cause the scum to rise. * The English are hot an excitable people, and win not fly into a passion because of the vaporing of Sumner and Chandler. But they will assuredly be armed at all points; they will rest upon their shields, and if the Radicals insist upon hating a war, their wishes may be gratified, at the very mo? ment when they have come to the conclu? sion that it is impossible to kick tho som? nolent, British Lion into oven spasmodic activity. Tue St. Louis Grain Trade. The St. Louis newspapers having told the business men of the city some plain but disagreeable truths about their lack of en? terprise, the latter have turned over a new' leaf and organized an enterprise that will probably relieve them of the charge. A grain company has been formed with $200,000 to be used as a "margin," to se? cure lo sellers a ready market and to f?cil tate the through transportation of grain to the Eas?, ?ite plan was entered into with great enthusiasm. The Merchants' Ex? change, in its corporate capacity, subscribed $20,000 to the stock, and in two days $80,000 and upwards of the oapital had OSSA taken. The capital of $200,000 will be used as a margin, and will enable tho association to keep in motion a million bushels of wheat. The central idea is to export direct to Liv? erpool and bnild np a great import trade; but enough grain will be kept ai St. Louis and at New Orleans to ind noe keary deal? ers and speculators to send their orders with the assuranoe that they oan obtain all their wants. Considering, the position of fit. Louis and the admirable facilities possessed by her for carrying out snoh a plan as this? tho only wonder Is that the movement was not made years ago. That it will be eas?*?fui, if managed with ordinary prudente, does not admitjof a doubt. 'I'lno Working Classes. It is pleasant to observe tho growing feel? ing in England in favor of the working classes. Time was, when for a man to juin in a strike, or to become a member of a Trades Union, was an unpardonable crime in thc eyes of the employer. Yet recently a commission appointed by Parliament has actually reported in favor of a law legaliz ing, under certain restrictions, combina? tions among workingmen to regulate wages and hours of labor. Thia is au acknowl? edgment that it is better to direct than to oppose, and, in oonneotion with the efforts which are making to give the working classes oheap and rational amusement, shows a de oided ohange for tho hotter in public opinion in regard to the proper relations between oapital and labor. But the proposition of the Parliamentary committee does not go far enough for some advocates of tho righi? of workingmen, and the London Spectator makes a vigorous attack upon the report. It says : "Nothing is more habitually dinned into the ears of workingmen by the plutonomlsts of the day than that 'labor is a commodity.' The commissioners visibly adopt this view, when they use such terms as the 'supply of labor, 'the labor market,' the 'disposal of labor,' 'bar? gaining' as to the terma on which it is to be disposed of. Bot if so, why is the disposal of this commodity to be specially regulated and restricted?" And it goes on to combat the hackneyed allegations that Trades Unions attempt to create a monopoly of labor, by showing that dealers in goode and merchandize may combine to monopolise the market without interference from the law, and that employ? ers or labor buyers may do the same. "But if thore ia to be no law for restraining the labor buyer, be he one or many, whether he choose to buy no apprentice labor, or none but euch; no piece-work labor, or none but snob; no unionists' labor, or none but such; to use maeuinery nowhere, or everywhere; to pro ncr ibo all bub-cjn tracts in his business, or to les out all his business upon them; to refase al) help to, or share his whole fortune with, labor buy ors in dispute with the labor sellers why aro these last to be exolnded from the benefit of the law for alleged violations of eco? nomic science which labor buyors may freely commit, and enjoy all legal protection ?" lt also makes the following forcible argu? ment iu favor of some of the more unpopu? lar regulations of Trades Unions : "Take the instanoes which perhaps appeal most to the moral sense, those of a sooiety aiming at limiting tho number of apprentices (a practice, be it always remembered, hold per? fectly justified among attorneys); or at the ex? clusion ot non-unionista from follow work (the ruling etiquette of tho bar, &o.); if labor be a mere commodity, ia what do they differ in their legal of scion tifio effect ft om the caa 3 of the brewer imposing upon publicans tho obli? gation of taking only his own beer ? What prinotple of law hinders the seller from making it a condition with the buyer that ho shall deal with no othei seller of the same commodity ? The thing is of every-day occurrence. Where ever any article, by ita rarity, its excellence, its mere name, however undeserved or fraud u emly won, seems oapable of enjoying a more or less qualified monopoly of the market, efforts are at once made to secure thal monop? oly by Bonding travellers throughout the coun? try to mako agtoementa with dealers for the exolusive use of auoh article." The writer conoludes aa fellows : "The more thia question is looked into, the more it will be seen that the very 'principles of economical soienoe,' to which tho commis? sioners appeal, I. e., those of the now ruling school of competitive plutonomy, require that the sale of labor and all combinaisons relating to it should be mada aa absolutely free, not only aa the purchase of labor, but that of every other article of commerce, and that all combi? nations relating to auch purchase should be subject only to the ordinary restraints of law upon abusas incident to the relation of buyer and aeller." M> lu thia country the workingmen, aa a political power, have been free in the main from oppression; but it ia an agreeable sign of the spread of liberal opinions in England and of the effect of an extension of the suffrage, that there should be a gen? eral feeling in favor of a polioy whioh shall secure to the working elapses the protec? tion and privileges whioh oapital oan ob tain by means of combination and ooncen tration. The working ol asses do not desire to become the dictators of their employers All that they ask ia fair play, and this they seem likelv tb receive. S fgttf?, T.
