Ills thirty thous?nd dollar check was found to be worthless. -It ls rumored that a vigilance committee has been organized In New York, entitled Law and Order Regulars, the object of which ls to execute summary Justice upon the roughs who escape punishment through political influence. Some of the local authorities, including certain judges, are said to be included in the committee. -Owing to the breaking of an axis, the through tram on the Wilmington and Manchester Rail? road, bound for Augusta, was, on Monday last, thrown down an embankment eight or ten feet high, the car taming t complete somersault in its fall. The express messenger, Captain H. L. Leon, sustained severe thongh not serious Injury, in his breast and hip, by being thrown agalns' tl e sides of the oar, in its revolution. Mau agent Wiggins sustained some bruise.* on his shoul? ders, and the preservation of hts lire, in view of the complete revolution of the car, ls a subject of wonder to himself even. The conductor's car, in which conductor Jarvis was at the time of the accident, was als? thrown from the track, turning half over in its rall. The clothes of the colored stewardess caught fire from contact with her stove, and were burned to her skin, but further bodily damage was pre? vented, as she maintains, by her hoop skirt. This car was prevented from falling to the level of the mail and express car, by coming iir' contact with a telegraph pole. The position of the conductor's car arrested the progress of the passenger car down the declivity, and it was kept on the track without other injuay to the passengers than the Incidental shock of the accident. As soon as Conduotor Jarvis had recovered and sur? veyed the wreck of his train, he proceeded to "Klngvllle and secured another train, with which he returned to the scene or the wreck, aud took all aboard. -The National Labor Convention or colored men, at Washington, which adjourned sine die stat week, passed a resolution complimenting Isaac Meyers, cf Baltimore, its originator and president. He made a speech during the meeting, tn which he said that in Baltimore abont two hun? dred and fifty colored men men banded together after being discharged, through white Influence, front the shipyards, and purchased one of their own, at a cost of $10,000, and to-day the yard em? ploys tire hundred and fifty colored men and fifty-live white men, and is in a prosperous condi? tion. Some of the white men employed now in the yard are the same persons who helped te kick the colored men ont of the yards of Baltimore. He would not endorse the political Worklng taen's Union or this country, because thc Repub? lican party had done too much ror his race, and ho colored man in the land should attach himself ? tc the former organization, as its object was to break down the great Republican party, and form a Democratic party. A committee of colored men waited upon the President on Saturday, whenScr.*ror Harris, colored, of North Carolina, a deleave co the National Labor Convention, made-a speech, In which he thanked thc Presi? dent, tn the neme of the colored people, forap ponting hkek men tooffloe, thereby recognizing ihoU claim* as a part of the body politic. H6 said that ose of the objects of the convention was to secure land for the laborers of the SOD th, so that they maj become permanent settlers and independent citizens. There are eight millions of acres of land that maj. be used by Cangress to secure these results, and they desire to secure the President's Influence to prevent any renewal of the lapsed land granU to railways and other corporations to thc detriment of actual settlers. TH? President replied that he could only aid the matter by suggestion and recommendation, and that he would give the matter his attention. New Phase of Woman's Right?. The hearts of the sable legislators in Co? lumbia were thrilled by the announcement of Wright that he intended to test the Civil Rights bill, though it should cost him his last cent. lu his own person an outrage had been inflicted upon the colored race, and by his own purse that outrage should be terri? bly avenged. Wo are informed that Wright professes to be a lawyer; it is a pity he hud not a better case. Certaiuly it would not be easy for him to appear at greater disadvan? tage; for both thc wrong of which he com? plains and the pledge he gives to his ag? grieved fellow-citizens are equally pitiable. Wright complains that he was turned out of the ladies' car. What business had he there ? Does he not know that any man, of whatever color, unattended by a domestic responsibility, has no right to occupy that car? He is allowed to sit in it only by the sufferance of the conductor, and may be turned out at the will of the latter. Nor are we aware that the conductor is obliged to give a reason to any intruder why he should leave. Wright's seat may have been held in reserve for expected lady passengers, or his looks may not have been in his favor, or he may have had too much musk-on his pocket handkerchief. Who knows? The whole wrong consists in this, that the ag? grieved senator tried to take a lady's place and was ordered out of it There is no evi? dence to show that he or she carried the cus? tomary fan and lunch-basket, or wore her veir, her bonnet, or even her chignon. There is reason to believe that she dressed like a man, that she disputed her place like a liti gous man, and blustered among the ladies like an ill-bred man, and that she was Anally carried out of the cars, and not kicked out. This is the substance of Wright's wroug. Now as to Wright's proposed sacrifice, not for tho sex, as one would suppose, but for the race. Here the lawyer so clearly ap? pears that we must ask the outraged lady's pardon for resorting sometimes to the mas? culine pronoun. We do not mean to preju? dice the case by this little change. "Wc see the Wright and we approve it too." We know the cause is lost unless she can maintain the character of an outraged la'dy. But Wright before the Labor Convention at Washington, or the Legislature at Columbia, is not a whit more feminine than Mrs. Dr. Walker in her coat and pantaloons. Well, then, Mrs. Wright in Columbia proclaims that he will spend bis last cent in vindica? ting her right to sit ^ the ladies' car, or as she expresses it, in testing the virtue of the Civil Rights bili. That bill shall be liquida? ted by the turning inside out of Uncivil Wright's pockets. But, as Pope says: "Woman's at best a contradiction still," for it was this aame lady who engaged the ' Labor Convention at Washington "to create "a fund to prosecute any such case of ex "clusion under the Civil Rights bill, and to "test the virtue of that bill." That is the fund that Wright intends to work on, and we have no doubt that he will even consent to receive his fee for his work. Whether he ?ueeeeds in the case or not, she eau certaiu? ly make more in that way than by stitching [>r darning stockings. While women are so poorly paid, what can we expect but an Bffort on their part to secure a larger sphere and more remunerative employment Let Mrs. Wright go ahead with her railroad ca3e. He will make a good thing out of it and put money in her purse ! WK received, last evening, a copy of a bill now before the Legislature granting to certain parties, in consideration of a small royalty to be paid to the State, the exclusive right to obtain phosphatic rock from the bed of our navigable streams. Wc print lu another column the bill, together with some shrewd comments from a writer in the Co? lumbia Pheonix, who leaves little 'o be said in regard to the expediency of the measure. We ourselves favor free trade, as well as in phosphates as in all oilier commodities; but if such a monopoly as the bill provides for is to be created, justice to the taxpayers de? mands that it be sold under the auctioneer's hammer, so that the State may reap the largest possible advantage therefrom. We shall watch with some interest the fate of the bill. IT IS REPORTED that Governor Scott will veto the bill to provide for the payment in coin of the interest on the State debt. His Excellency is not opposed to the bill, which was introduced with his approval and is fathered by his financial pet, but he may have sold out his bouds, or be mad because the House would not agree to pay principal as well as interest in coin. And if he does veto the bill, we suppose that it will be part of the programme to pass it over the veto without more ado. In this way Scott will seem anxious to save his "beloved State," and tho bond and stock Ring will not be disappointed. THE Radical members of the South Caro? lina Legislature are usually in the market, but their price-not to put too tine a poiut upon it-is a lettie high, considering the quality of the article. During the debate on tile bill to pay the State debt in coin, vote3 in its favor sold at from S10 to $200. One comfort is that votes will be cheaper later in the session. Tho membeis take a practical view of things, and count their honors and dignities by dollars: For what is worth in anything, But so much money as 'twill bring ? MEADE, the negro member of the I/egisla lature, who shot Mattie Stokes, on Sunday, is still at large. Is there not in South Car? olina one Radical official manly enough to arrest a Radical criminal, or is he to go "uu whipt of justice," with Representative Guf fin, who incites the negroes to burn dowu our houses, and Representative Jones, who wants to slay and destroy "all the rebels" in the State ? OUR Columbia correspondent has been informed that the State tax for 186'!)-70, on real and personal estate, will be only one half of one per cont. This news is almost too good to ba true. The People's Bank of Sooth Carolina. Mr. John B. Lafitte, of this city, was elected, yesterday, president of the People's Bank of South Carolina, in the place of Mr. James G. Gibbes, who had resigned. Mr. Lafitte is a gentlemen of high standing in commercial circles, and his large experi? ence, business tact and undoubted financial ability will be of great value to the woll known bank of which he i3 now the head. The People's Bank will, we believe, resume active business in a few days, and, if sonnd and able management count for anything, it will soon become one of the most popu? lar, as well as responsible, banking institu? tions in the State. Reviews. SUSAN FIELDING. A Novel. By Mrs. Annie Edwards. Author of '.Archie Lovell" and "Stephen Lawrence, Yeoman.'' Illustrated by Sol Eytinge and Winslow Homer. New York: Sheldon & Co. Charleston: Johr. M. Greer. Mrs. Edwards ls a novelist of very decided ability. She ha3 the rare faculty of growth. She never repeats herself cither in her plot or in her sketches of character. Each of her three last novels has been a decided advance upon its predecessor, and in each of the three she has added a new and original portrait of ] the world's picture gallery. "Archie Lovel," "Dot" In "Steven Lawrence," and "Portia French" in the present novel, are new and live creatures, and each one of them will live in the reader's memory long alter the multi? tudinous heroes and heroines of the Braddon Wood, Ouida school have faded into well-de? served oblivion. We will not attempt, "an analysis of the plot of "Susan Fielding." It is worth reading by all who care for a good no? vel, and we will not spoil the reader's interest by premature disclosures. The book is evidently printed directly from the original sheets of the Galaxy magazine, in which it appears as a serial, and consequently is much marred by the uneven distribution of | the chapters. It is so well gotten up in other respects that it ls a pity this fault waa not avoided. "PCT YOURSELF IN His PI?CE. Part Fir. By Charles Reade, Author af "Foul Play," 4c. New York: Sheldon & Co. Churlestou: John M. Greer. . As lar as Ave can judge in its present incom? pl?te state, this last work of the veteran novel? ist promises to rank with his best fictions. It ls graphic, vigorous and original, and Ito gov? erning purpose is timely and well developed. We shall notice the book in detail when com? pleted. The present instalment is introduced by the following characteristic letter: "The publishers of 'The Galaxy' pay me a liberal price, fof 'Put Yourself In His Place.' If were a mechanical inventor instead of a lite? rary inventor, this payment would secure them thc sole legal right. In the present in? iquitous, partial, barbarous and brainless state of law, it only secures them a clear moral right. But I hope all respectable publishers will respect the moral right, will put them? selves In their place, and will forbear to reap where they have not 6own.-[Charles Reade." MEN'S WIVES. By W. M. Thackeray. New York : I). Appleton A Co. Charleston : John Russell. The name of Thackeray would sell a far worse book than Men's Wives; but it is rather hard that the public should be baited with a great name to swallow what would be igno? miniously rejected If the author were Tabitha Jones or even Algernon Snooks. It ls well enough to read abont "The Ravenswing" and "Mr. and Mrs. Frank Berry" and "Dennis Hag gerty's Wire," and these sketches have some of the Incisiveness of "Vanity Fair," and a dash of thc seeming-truth of "The Newcomer." But we want Thackeray, the mature man, not Thackeray In (literary) long clothes, and would prefer to see trifles like "Men's Wives" omit? ted from all editions of the works of the satir? ist ot the nineteenth century. CIPHER. A Romance. By Jane G. Austin. New York : Sholdon & Co. Charleston : John Russell. This romance ls now published In book form, and a glance over thc broad pages recalls Its first appearance in the Galaxy, when a month wits all too long to wait for the coming of an? other chapter. With some features which wi! not bear criticism, "Cipher" ls still a work of | marked ability. The plot is ingenious and ex? citing, the Incidents are stirring, and the mys? tery which enshrouds thc characters and their destiny leads the reader on, without pause or hesitation, from first pago to lust. Thu book is wanting, perhaps, lu balance and repose; but it is, nevertheless, one o:' the best sensa? tional romances ol' the time. Ax AMERICAN FAUILT IS PARIS. With fifty eight illustrations of Historical Monuments and Familiar Secnos, New York : Html & Houghton. Charleston : Holmes' Douk House. This little work is pleasantly written, and will give the young reader a lively Idea nf tho appearance and characteristics of the French capital. There ls nothing about the book lo show that ?tis truly an account of the cxpe onces of "An American Family in Puris," bul care bas been taken to make thc local de? scriptions accurate, and to support the histori? cal augments by recognized authority. The illustrations are both numerous and attrac? tive, and add much to tbe value of the book, which should be a capital holiday gift, as the author has succeeded In giving "Young Amer "?cans, nt home and abroad, both amusement "and useful knowledge, mingled In prepara "Lions which will increase the relish for each."
