Western paper says tb*t half the busi? ness of the courts in Illinois seems to be to . satisfy the vengeance of women because they j ' can't get the men to marry them, and the other half to enable wt aa m to get rid of men who have married them. -Gail Hamilton sent a note of regret to a ail ver wedding in Illinois in which she said ; "When one bas stayed married twenty-five wears in Illinois, I suppose it is worth while to ring the bells over it!

If thia is a true I description, the colors worn by thai lady wera ' red, white and red. We have certainly known I the time when auch colors "went straight " to t .rory many patriotic hearts, bnt they did not j beat in the bosoms of Tribune correspondents, j . These must be some mistake here. . -A correspondent ot the San Francisco Bul 1 etin gives an amusing account ota journey up 1 Ul by rail on the Unios Pacific Railroad be- c -tween Echo and Wasatch. The hill ia ascend- i ed by means of a Z, tbs train running up to a i switch, then backing up the next gradient and finally forward. On the trip described the eu- c gi oe once or twice failed to reach tbe upper switch, and after running back, garnering speed and pushing with all force, oame to a 1 dead stand a few rods from the desired point, c Tbs engineer then had all the brakes aet and i leaving the train standing treat down the hill ? snd running up again struck the train with 0 some force to endeavor to st ar t it. The bat tearing ram Plan only succeeded in shaking the paannngera from their seats. One more trial E i n the proper way took the train to tbe top. 0 ? -Property-holders in Washington ere be- t ??ming much disgusted with their negro gov- i ?rament. A correspondent atys : "There is { * report current which, if it has any solid j ? uanda! iou in fact, will increase the amount v of proper i advertised for sale considerably the o ; year tts two. The report also involves to eo t questions of politics and economy in our oily affairs, lt seems, so the report goes, that a large number of our wealthiest I tl property-holders are mach dissatisfied with I ? tte present management of city affairs, and atty that the money realized from taxes and Other sources ia being squandered by the corpo? ration authorities. They therefore propose to u refuse to pay any taxes next year, and allow 01 their property to be advertised for sale for the ft Jaon-paymeot of the taxes. They will then b have a year or two under the law m which to j( ?redeem their property, and by that time they nope the management of city affairs will be in other and better bands. The remedy for what 1 ?deemed an evil seem) an original ?od siogu- 01 lar one to adopt, but it is novel he leas very se- d Mtvastj suggested by a great many of tbe et sargest property-holders. What they desire is ?h*t other hands shall expend the monies or I JJ tbs corporation, and behove they can aocom- ^ stash their end by the course proposed." ' -The Rochester Chronicle har been told a 'story about General Butler. The direc- l! i cfs Boston bank, having their suspicions o? stressed, notified their cashier that an era mi- A naiionof the booka and cash in hispotnessiorwj j, inst be bad. The cashier went to Butler and metaled his case. He htd misappropriated funds uf the bank to the amount of $50,000. We asked whether he had not better own up, " restore what he could, and let his bondsmen ? antin ap the defier*. Butler, after some con- I n ?ideration, directed him to attend the meeting at ? of the directors, denyJMt there was anything tl wrong, and, if they desired, to surrender the kuys and go home, leaving them in possession. He. did aa directed, gave up the keys, and the direct ora. upon examining the books and cash in the van't?. maud a deficit, as they anti ??pated, of $50 003. They notified the cashier nod bis boudsmen, who in due time ap? peared accompanied by Butler, who, actin- as spokesman, inquired what the matter was. The directors informed him ot the facts, sud offered to compromise the matter by the return ?af the masing foods. General Butler coolly replied that los client had surrendered the keys to them, and that the deficit, if any, oc onsred after the directors were in possession. The directors now bogan to see the dilemma An which they were placed and sent for a law tjsr, only to find that they had made a false step; that they had no proper evidence of the aunount of cash in the bank when surrendered Jby the cashier, and that in taking possession -they had lost their only remedy. As it would not do to let the stockholders know how they Iud bttta overreached, tbe directors bad to go to work and make up the loss out of their own poekfts. They gave their defaulting cashier the certificate or character which he demanded, tjtnd he want to work in another bank in the same city a few weeks afterward. _"A Dead Gentleman Alive" is the latest rfgew York sensation, interpreted io the story of a Bra. Walters, who .buried ber husband about a year ago. Daring her widowhood abe Jbecimfl KOjiainted with HO?. Jeannette Yd lard, a blonde with a splendid ph ja .que and commanding figure, liking her so mach that she took her to her borne. The Yillard soon introduced a Hr. Willis ton into the family, and ne called occasionally to see both the widow and her channing protegee. It was not long before the young man made an impression upon the heart of Mrs. Walters. And it was not much longer before it became Very evident that two years could hardly pasa ard leave Ure. Walters a widow. And, strange as it may seem, Mlle. Vi liard appeared to look favorably upon the suit of the young soldier. Indeed, she bad been instrumental in forwarding the courtship, but had done so rather undercover, so that no complicity woald appear between herself and Williston. One day WiUiston was suddenly taken ill and sent for Mrs. Waltere. She came, of course, and he confessed to her that Jeannette Yillard was his wife and that he was soon to die. But before he died he must be forgiven by Mrs. Walters-must have her swear, upon her bended knees, that his wife and child should be her care-should? never feel want-should become as her own d nighter and child. If she would do this, be wont! die happy. The oath was taken and Williston was supposed to die. Mrs. Walters at once enter? ed upon the discharge of her sacred trust and presented tbe Yillazd with $30 009. after which the latter disappeared from New York. The disconsolate widow beoame bait frantic with grief and sent a force of detectives io discover the body of the Yillard, that itmight be decent? ly interred. Their efforts proved successful The Yillard was foaod, ali VJ and living with Williston in a Western etty. The widow was naturally utterly astonished; but she refused to institute any proceedings for the recovery of her money, which Williston snd his accom? plice coolly said had been a voluntary gift, ad? ding that tbey intended to stick to it. CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1869. The Asheville Railroad. The ?nionviiie Times oharges the Charles? ton press with an entire negleot of the pro? posed extension of the Spartanburg and Union Railroad to Asheville, N. C., and de? monstrates, very much to its own sat ?faction, the astounding facts that the Blue Ridge Railroad is a swindle and a aware, that avery man who says a good word for it ia paid for his praise, and that there is no talvatiaa for the 8tate but in building at ?nee . railroad from Spartanburg to Ashe rille. THI NIWS, as is well known, has already laid before the public the particulars of tba Asheville Bailrotd scheme, and in more prosperous days it would doubtless have re? served some substantial help from this city. Sut there waa no money lo subscribe, and ts resolutions do not build railroads in this part of the world, the matter was allowed to drop. It is plain enough, from the remarks of j he Times, that the Blue Ridge Railroad is oohed upon in one quarter as the foe of | he Asheville connection. This is not the iroper position to be taken. The Blue lidge Railroad, upon which so many mil ions had already been spent, was adopted >y the R adi cals as a party measure, and its lompletion was intended to be the orowning j nercy of the Scott administration. Doubt ess the expectation of commissions and lercentages of Tarions kinds had a great leal to do with the ease with whioh the Leg slature passed the bill authorizing the guar? antee of additional millions. The bill be ioma a law. It was evident that the Badioals ranted to have the road built, andas any one rith two grains of Bernie can see that the ompletion of the road mast be of vast ben ifit to the State, it was the wise oourse to dace the project before the public in the lost favorable light. The advantages of | he Blue Ridge Railroad are plain and un aiatakable. The how and why of the Rad - cal movement in its behalf matters but j ittle. Bj the fonds of the State the road rill be built, and the sooner it is done the otter for us all. We do not speak now of the millions al? ead/ spent, whioh will be an utter loss if I se road is not oarried through. That [ rould be a strong argument with business ten, although it might have no effect on ie U nio av tile Times. This point we waive, i view of the idiosynoracies of our up trantrj contemporary, and simply say that, s a loan to the Blue Ridge Railroad has eeo authorised, and as the proceeds of the ian will certainly be spent, it is un doubt Hy the prudent polie y to help the pr oj ec t Q, BO that we may gain the full worth of | ir money. There may be waste, no oubt; bat the road ono s oompleted will be ]aal to double its cost. Nor dees a support of the Blue Ridge ?ailroad necessarily involve opposition to ie Asheville Road. We do not think that te project will be subsidised by the Legis? lare, and we do net desire to see the .debt f the State in any way increased. The aha ville root? will always be watched with iteres t, and will ene day be an accomplished ?ct, Charleston and Colombia will give the m?me all the aid they earn, and if the Leg lature should insist upon throwing a few [ lULioBB at Ha head, we will endeavor to | ave them handled io as te do as much geed i possible. We are, however, opposed at iis time to granting State subsidies to any irporation for any parp?se whatever. As we have before said, the support of HS NEWS will be given to any movement inside of the General Assembly-looking > the construction of a railroad to conueot partanbu'g ?vita Asheville; but we Bee no jason yet for withdrawing from the Blue ,idge Road one parti?le of the oordial empathy whioh is the doe of that import? ?t undertaking. THI LETTER of oar Columbia corre sp on ent, printed in another column, contains ie particulars of the breaking down of the prague caual project, some curious facts i regard to the trial of a Radical repre satative for murder, hints about the Uni ersity examinations, a suggestion in regard o the bills of the Bank of the State, s tat is? les of crime in Columbia, and a variety of ther important and interesting news. Ir win be seen by the letter of our Co? ombia, correspondent, pnblishsd this morn sg, that the Columbia canal will, in all irobability, be put up again for sale, the sst purchasers Senator Sprague and Colo iel Pearce having BO far failed to comply rith the terms of their contrast. Se bursts he Spragae bubble.. ?Joh* Ungot sad the House os* Lords. Mr. John Bright wrote a letter last week to a meeting in Birmingham, ia whioh he said : "If the House of Lords delay the "passage of the Irish Church bill, they will "stimulate the discussion of subjects which "might slumber for years. The raine of | "the constitution whioh gires a majority in ] ?one boase in favor of, and ia the other "boase against, the given policy, may be "questioned. Why is it that when the "Crown and Commons are ia harmony with "the nation the Lords are ia direct opposi "tioa ? ?s leag as the House of Lords act "ia harmony with the country, they may "go on for a loog time; bat whea they "thwart its course they may meet with un? pleasant accidents." Aa explanation of this letter was de? manded of the minia te rs ia both he uses. Mr. Gladstone, io the Commons, said in reply, that the letter was written by Mr. Bright on his own responsibility, and that the government had no intention of threat? ening the House of Lords. He himself, and his oolleagae, Mr. Bright, both discouraged any popular action tending to interfere with the independence of that body. 'In the Lords, Earl Granville said the Cabinet was not responsible for the individual opin? ions of its members, and for himself he re? jected Mr. Bright's language; bat he had the authority of that gentleman for stating that he bad no intention to express disre? spect to their Lordships, and that if aoy pain had been caused to them by bia words he expressed profound regret. This was the simplest method of meet in g a troublesome question. John Bright oares very little for the forms of diplomacy, and the square and role of ministerial eti? quette. It ia his habit to speak oat his thoughts without reserve, and he has al? ready more than once been a thora ia the side of his more aaatioas colleagues. Bat John Bright is a power io the laud. Tbe people love and trust him, and Queen Vic? toria has given bim more than ooe mark of | her personal favor. While the ministers keep ia the straight path without doubling or doubting, they will find in Mr. Bright a hard-working and earnest supporter. Bat with the first leaning towards a recalcitrant polioy, or a refus al to admit the conclusions of the logic of eve \ the Quaker states? man will, ia all probability, resiga his seat in the Cabinet, and so free himself from the necessity of co?ni vin g at measures of whioh he cannot approve. England ls convinoed that John Bright is aa honest and well meaning maa, and the esteem of his coun? trymen is all the guerdon he desires. The Gladstone Cabinet will not go very far astray io the popular miad while Mr. Bright is ooe of their number. Reviews. PBIHEVAX MAN: AD Examination of some Re? cent Speculations. By the Duke of Argyll. New York : Rutledge & Sous. Charleston : Hohnes' Book House. In 1864 was published a lecture on "The Early Condition of M inkind," by Archbishop Whately, in which it was argued that "mere savages never did and never can, unaided, raise themselves into a higher position." In 1867, Sir John Lubbock read before the British Association for the Advancement of Science a paper in reply to Arohbiskop Whately, the po? sition being taken that "tho primitive condi? tion of mankind was one of utter barbarism." Tho Dake of Argyll discusses both the lecture and reply, and reaches the following main con? clusions. 1. The development theory creates more difficulties than ft professes to remove, tod aa the difference between man and the lower animals is appreciated, those difficulties increase. Man is separated by an immeasura? ble gulf from all the creatures known to have boen his contemporaries. 2. All scientific evi? dence is in favor ol the conclusion that the whole haman family is descended from a sin? gle pair, and the older that famity the more wesible and probable is this. 3. Maa his st? rays bad instincts which afford all that is re? quired as a starting ground for advance in tho necuanical arts; but is capable of mental and >hysioal degradation, whioh accounts for tho londition of the lowest typesalf mankind. The Duke of Argyll writes clearly and plausi >ly, and is so orthodox in his v'ews that he will rain many a disciple among churchmen. S om e imea he proves too mach for bis case, as in egard to the unity of the human race; bnt his ityle and manner aro pleasing, and the book is me which will interest every reader. There is bought and reflection in this ''Primeval Man," md it is not cumbered up with eesquipedalian vorda or esoteric phrases. Price $1 50. fOSt 0B0 /0M0. ^TOLBN, F H OM JURS.
