Only ahout thirty per cent, or thc whole vote wus cast, thus showing great indifference on the subject. -A New Vork letter says:-, "The key-note or most of the Thanksgiving sermona herc was tho Bible tn the public schools. Rev. nenry Word Recchcrand Rev. Dr. Bwcr, clergymen ol very different types of religious thought, expressed themselves lu favor of conditionally dissociating thc schools from Stato support. Mr. li wer being a ritualist, his views appear to excite no surprise, but a good many of the Plymouth Church brethren hardly know what to say or think of thc utter? ances or their pastor." -bou Platt writes to thc Cincinnati Commer? cial: "As for Grant. Sherman, anti Sheridan, I rear that tinder tho Impartial pen or military criti? cism, especially after tho Confederate eldo ls hea-il, these, our shadowing laurel.?, will winter and fade, and thc verdict will be, that these ufli cers had ihe goori luck to be In command when the Oonrcdcraey roll to pieces from exhaustion. Ofthe three, Ccncral Sherman ls certainly thc most unfortunate. Prom thc time he and Hrunt threw a portion or their anny on the wrong aide or tho river at Shiloh and permitted lt to bc sur? prised and hutch! red, (with thc only excuse I ever heard that one ofllccr was drunk and thc other crazy,) to ihe march from Chattanooga td Atlanta, where he lost moro, men killed and wounded than his enemy had under him, wc havo a succession or military blunders.*> -Somebody writes to the New ^ork World a page narration of hts or her visit to tho Mts. ?rig. barn Young. They Inhabit a large house with an effigy of a crenching lion at the door, and are generally very comfortably orr. Mrs. Amelia, whose sharp tongue koepa the Prophet in check, sleeps in a plain bat neatly-rnrnlshed bed-room, in which lan Prenoh bedstead, several chairs, a -dreailng-table, looking-glass and bureau. Thc floor is covered with an ingrain carpet. She sayn that the old maids In Utah aro Increasing In numbers, and that young girls arc strongly op? posed to baring more than one husband. Petty Jealousies hnvc much to do with thc disturbance of domestic tranquillity. Amelia expectt that one day tho Mormons wilt return to Jackson County, in Missouri, whence they wero forcibly expelled, and oconpy oguin llialr property and their '/.lon. The visitor took a peep Into thc suppcr-rootn. Two long tables run the whole length, at which were scated thc wives and children. Thc two oldest wives occuplcil tho head of tho table, P.rlj ham being absent, an1 the otheis were placed In order, each with her children around her attend? ing to their wants. The meal appeared lo bc a plain one, consisting simply of hrcud ami nutter, with somo preserved fni'.w, or bread and milk. Mo or Hhc was struck with uti: absence or babies from tho assemblage, and, upon Inquiry, learned that for about six years past, lingham bas ceased tobo a fathor. His first wife has not yet been rully reconciled to puiygnmy. -Details of tho Mil-, ankle Theatre holocaust aro received. Tho Oro was communicated from a broken keroscnu lamp, and, In less Hine thau it takes to wrlto it. thc wholo stage was enveloped In flames. Dc.roro tho audience had Hine to rush lo thc doors tho whole interior of thc theatre was a masa of Ore. Thc sr.cno which ensued baines description. Men and boys rushed for the door, overturning and trampling upan each other tn their ?cru.ohhi tn escape the terrible death threatened them. Aftor Ibo rnsh hud somewhat ceased, heartrending cries for assistance were heard proceeding from the Interior of thc burn? ing bnildlng, and, after diligent exertion, several persons were extricated alive. Two dead bodies wero then taken out, and, as they lay In thc dead - house, presented a most sad and heart-alckcnlng ?jveciacic. AU tho clothing waa burned orr, and tho neall ww fairly roamed. The bodies Deemed drawn np in tv heap to proeont ns small a surface to tho HUIIICM us possible, and in this position thc poor follows suffered tho worst agony ano died. Their faces were burned to a crisp and delleil all attempts at recognition. Their hands were burned, lite ends of their lingers being burned oiT. omi mau met wli? H tearful death. Although not severely burned. If burned ut mt, he was choked and smothered with thc smoke. We tried lo crawl to the outlet, and mic eeeded until ho reached thu partition wall. Here be became confused, und. turning, went directly towards the bunnin: Stage. A few feel beyond he struck a hench which bad been pulled out "I" ns place, ?md could not proceed. tn hts confu? sion it was evident that, he It-It himself tu a pen fruin which there was no escape. Hinki.--; on lils knees, hil ban is were thrown over the benth, IM ,f he tra* i't the altitude of leave,-.. Pur Thin Time Only. The inuintlinra ami bummers who ape Iii?, munnora und assume tue name of. "mem? bers of the General Assembly ni* South Caro? lina" innot iii Columbia to-tlay, and to-mor? row, Ilcobscbub permitting, the pantomime will begin. The pilli, ?ii tho Legislative farce i;? so well worn that wo know just, what t<> expect, whether from Ilia clowns of tho House, tho harlequins of tho Sonate, or the columbines of the Executive Munition. The ?Lage, han boen newly dnonrulod for (he in clinion, and tho legislators will pass (.heir tlaya in tho midst of unwonted splendor nf upholstery und gilding; biit Um programme will not hav? many variations. The white renegado, the black booby and the brown Adonis will repeal the queer un? ties which beeante HO familiar before tho close of the lust regular session. Governor Scott will present his message of love "anti peace, in which lie will laud to Ute sities Sout h Carolina Radicalism, explain lite con? dition of the State, pat on the back "thu young man of much promise" who is our trusted linanoial agent, und lay the blame of ult that goes wrong on thc bunded shoul? ders of respectability and worth. Tirara will he glowing pictures in charcoal of what South Carolina will lin in Ute future. Perch? ed on tho reconstruction fenco and sighing for a second term, the Gubsrimlorul squat? ter will promise the businessri?on a reduc? tion of expenses, and thc property holders lower taxation. At the same time he will fling himself into the embraces of Cudoc and promise that odorous individual fal olliccs, land and whiskey, and gold galore all at tho cost of tho State. Thc Comptrol? ler-General will ?how what has been spent during thc year, and will prove to his own satisfaction that every dollar laid out was the natural fruit of thc extravagance of pre? ceding administrations. Like "His Excel? lency," ho will apologize and promise. Thc same old story ! When thc message lins been read over and prayed over, the leading performers will ono their gracions mont hs and chalk out the legislation of thc session. For a week or two, thc wheels will roll smoothly-later th'.'y will requiro incessant greasing. At first, there may lie a show of awful modera! ion. The Radical Satans will rebuke Democratic sin. Hut long before tho end of tho session tho motley crew will bc hard at work as usual-npsotting good laws and framing bad ones, doing nil they can for their own profit and the loss of tho State. Thoy will begin mildly and meekly, but before they adjourn they will rage for greenbacks as of yore. Tho Goueral Assembly will sit as loug as thc mcmbcre can squeeze out a per diem, and contingent remainders in Die shape of fees and mileage. When they are lilied with perice and plunder, they may consent to ad? journ. Ono consolation we have : When thc cur? tain falls it will fall forever on thc creatures who have been, and are, a shame and a de? gradation to every decent man in all South Carolina. When tho bell rlngH, in IS70, there will bc a new play and new players. Pricking tbe Babble. Tbe. new? which we print this morning, in regard to tho niuo Hidgc Railroad, is a com? plete viadicaUon of tho justice of the stric? tures which this paper bas passed upon lit? wholo project since it went into Radical hands, as weil as a gratifying proof that even Radical hides cannot long withstand the scourging ot* a bold and independent press. When Governor Scott and Mayor PiUa bury, who, by virtue of their offices, control nine-tenths of tho stock capital of tho road, gave the contract for ita completion to Criss vcll, Patterson & Co., at a round price of $9,000,000, wo held up to public reproba? tion the sellemos of tho Radical ring, and explained tho why and wltoreforo of tho ne? farious transaction. Thc road was only to coat $4,000,001) in 18G0, and the $9,000,000 certainly left abundant room for the pay? ment of commissions to the Governor and ali his satellites. As soon as Tun NEWS laid bare tho ins and outs of the negotia? tion, and showed that the Blue Ridgo Rail? road alono would add about $10,000,000 to the State debt, and would doable the Butte taxation, tho market for the Stato bonds suddenly became dull and depressed, and the contractors and their tools began to four that it woultl bo impossible for them to got rid of tho Stato guaranteed bonds at any? thing near par. Then they had nlao to run tho gauntlet of tho General Assembly for an extension of tim amount to be guaranteed, from $4,000.000 to $9,000,000. This damp? ed the ardor of Um contractors, and they would have forfeited their bargain long ago had not a connection of Governor Scott's saved their credit by goiag to work alone with pick and Hpado among thu monntains which overshadow Walhalla. And Govern? or Scott himself began to bo alarmed. Tho Stale bonds would not rise. Tho llnanciul public regarded ou ri lad ?cid government natl negro legislatura as moro than a set-ofT to our debt of only 35,000,000 and thu growing prosperity of tho people, Tho only interest that Governor Scott had in Um Blue Ridgo Railroad wan u personal interest, and when ho found that lint pet contractors did not ftilltl their bargain, ho threw them over? board as lie hud already thrown overboard all regard for tho honor and profit of tho State. Tho meeting of stockholders held on Sat? urday was a private ono. No reporters wero udmittcd, but it 11 aa loa!:ed out that a colored director wus elected, and that the directors hava annulled th: $9,000,000 contract with Crissve?, Patterton A (Jo. T .is dispos os of Uio Radical Blue Ri lt a Ring for como t'mo to como. It ia tnt o that there ?re $4, W?9, - OOO bonds which tho y talo hau airo ail j con? sented to endorso, but oven if these, aro stolen or frittered nwaj tho pooplo will still Bavo at least S5,0G0,OO0. Thin result is du?, wo may fairly claim, to Tm; CIIARLKSTON NHWS alone. Oonviucod that Ute. enterprise, in tito hands of Scott amt Pillsbury, whatever its intrinsic merits, Itad become a gigantic Rwindlu, Tun NKWS proclaimed tho fact; lt exposed Ino manner of awarding thu contract; it showell tho cx orbilant prices proposed lo be paid for ma? terials; lt explained to thc foreign capitalist '.Hal Radicalism wa:; breaking our hucks and forcing thc people toward repudiation. Tlte.sc revelations, al first, aroused ti storm of tinder mu? irrltaUoil. Wo were loid that, we wore* slabbing the credit of Ute S toto und depreciating tho bomb); wu were as? sured thai TIIK Ni'.w? was Injuring ila lient fricn<la, and that Ils course could do no good. Hut Ibis journal was not lead by entreaty or swayed by threat. It swung tho tomahawk over thc >:oarl of Radicalism in Reason and out of season, lt save thom no morey who had shown our people, none. And lite re? sult ii thal. Scott and Pillsbury aro cowed amil defeated; that nine militant! of dollars is saved lo South Carolina; that $0:10,000 lt year of interest is saved to tho people, and thal, the Uadical officials, cowering before just dcnnncittUon, nuddnnly discover dud. tltey arc opposed, at present, to increttaitig the. debt of tho Stale for any purpose what? ever. Such an increase they feel must jeo? pardize tito pickings and stealings already Hoogly invested in Slate bonds, which would droop lower and lower, so that ?ill that they would gain tn railroad bribes, and more, would bo lost itt rolling bonds. Toa Ni:ws hos don? a good work, and will not bold ils hand until every Uadical rascal, vrho now pollutes tho body politic, is hurlcti Crom the Alfico which lie bas disgraced. Temporizing with these people ia useless. They must bo lushed into loputltuttco, and then kicked out of the State. Thc Charlotta!! I!n.?k.?. Public attention bas already boen directed to thc cheering fact. that, the revival is now certain of 6otnc of the old Charleston banks, which, during tbeiructivocareer, were noted for ability of management, high credit and fair dealing. Those establishments have, it ia true, loot much of tho capital which they formerly possessed ; but, overtaken os they were by Hie common disaster, it is pleasing to know that they have enough capital re? maining to pay off all their outstanding lia? bilities, and enable them to resume opera? tions under the nams.! so long'familiar to the incrchauts of the State. The Southern States are fairly launched on the title which leads to fortuno, the whole Southern coun? try is steadily gtrcngUicning ita position, and with a prospect of continued high prices for tho Southern staples and an active de? mand for business cupit.il, the banking <vt lahli.ihmonts which aro now horn again may reasonably look forwurd lo a long and suc? cessful career. The Charleston banks lo which we par? ticularly refer arc: 1. The Union Hank, which has been in ex? istence for about half a century, and has always been marked by prudent manage? ment, a foaturc which was impressed upon it especially by tho late Rene Godard, for a long time its president The original capi? tal of thc Union Hank was $1,000,000; but thia was seriously diminished during tho war. The bank is now doing business, and ita moans arc expected to be enlarged at an early day. Vf. H. Smith, Esq., th? presi? dent, a successful and wealthy merchant or this city, will dcubUess continue to conduct ila affairs with prudence and cautious care. 2. The Planters' and Mechanics' Hank, always a favorite institution, was established in tho beginning of thia century by the Into William Aiken-father of ex-Governor 1 Aiken-John Robinson, the Messrs. Ravc nel, and oilier prominent merchants. Mr. Thomas Blackwood WA3 its president for many yews, und Daniel Ravcnel, Esq., the prcscul president, hos been connected with it almost from H.s foundation. Tho capital of this bank, $1,000,000, was Tor the most | part swept away by the. war, but an assess? ment on thu stockholders is now tn ak i ? and it will go at once to work. 3. Tho Bunk ofCliarlcston waa establish ? od about 1836 to meet the wanta of tho grow? ing trade of Charleston, and facilitate tho ne? gotiation of foreign mid domestic oxchange. In this department the bank did a largo and lucrative business, while itu general credit was so good that Rank of Charleston bills were taken at par in Europe. Among the founders of the bank were the lalo General James Hamilton, who was tho first presi? dent, James Adger, Kerr Boyce and II. W. Conner, aa well aa tho lion. G. A. Tren holm, Honry Gourdin, Esq., and C. T. Lowndes, Esq., the present president, who has contrived to meet all the liabilities of tho bank and retain a surplus equal to about 25 per cent, on the capital of $3,000, 000. 4. The People's Bank waa established a j few years before the war, with a capitol of I $1,000,000. This bank suffered heavily ; but judicious financiering baa enabled it to re? deem ita bills and hare a aufficicnt capital with which to resume bnsinesa. This bank waa well managed by tho lato president, D. L. McKay, and enjoyed a high reputation, which lt still rutaina. Tho Uireo banka last named may bo ex? pected to go into business before tho lut I January with an active capital of about $1,200,000. Thia, added to tho capital of tho two national banks, tho Loan and Trust Company and thc Union Bank, will give us an active banking capital of about $2,250, 000, which, although far below tho $14, 000,000 of capital which wo had in 1860, will materially relievo the financial pressure which now restrains the froo course of trudo. The gentlemen vito will have di argo of j the new banks vt i ll, wo.aro aura, show practical appreciation of tho peculiar ne? cessities of the situation, and will knowhow to combino an enlarged liberality with proper circumspection ; nor will thoy neglect j to use the moana at their command so aa to encourage tho rapid development of tho com meroe, of our city. At tho aamo timo lt must not bo forgotten that ibero ia no certain safety for Lho banker or merchant ao long na our business operations aro based upon an .irredeemable paper currency, and.-, for thia reaaoo, there should tie a persll?otit pressing onward in tho direction of a specie baals. The papers announce that tho mer? chants of New York aro organizing a pow? erful establishment, whlcb^abull unite the1 featuroa of a gold and a currency bank. Such a bank in thia city would draw to itself | al once a largo business, and would soon secura tho couiidenco of puroona in thu in- j terlor, who now hoard up their grid uud make il. valuulum for all tiHuful purposes. If they could dopa >L their coin in thc gold do partmonl of thc hank, knowing that thu two dupurtmcntsTVvould Im koplHuparatu in overy particular, 'hoir conlldonco would rapidly rollirn, ami Ibu 'argo amount o?
