Ile sent a short message, and everybody read it. When will other rulers learn the merit of brevity ? -A recent divorce trick in Indiana was tte serving or the legal notice on the husband when he was too drunk to know anything about it, and the court granted the divbrce before he knew of thc proceedings. -Another Instance of the administration of chloroform to criminals ls reported. The munici? pal authorities of White Plains, on Wednesday, placed Buokhout, the homicide, under the influ? ence of the anaesthetic to ascertain whether he was insane. -The New York papers say ihc Harvard crew has accepted a challenge to race with thc middies of the Naval Sch'iol at Annapolis, next summer. Thin will be thc great aquatic sensation or ls;o. Thc race will take place cither at Annapolis or on thc Hudson at West Point. _ -A Western paper describes the manner ol love-makiug practiced among some or its readers in thc following paragraph: "The young people who were seen reeding each other, dove fashion, over a gate post, the other evening, had better be a lltt'o more cautious in the fnture." -During the current year about one thousand, Jewish families will immigrate from Russia Prussia and Austria to this country under the ?direction or the Central Committee of the Alliance Israelite at K?nigsberg. Most of these people have been outraged by thc government otllcials or .Russia, and they will enjoy and appreciate the toleration of our land to a great degree, without doubt. -In Ohio, last year, there were one thousand and threo divorces granted, against eight hun .drcd and forty-seven in 18?S, and nine hundred and seventy-five in 1S67. In three hundred and thirty-four cases, where thc custody or children was disputed, thc mothers were succcsstul, while only Arty-eight lathers were considered worthy or the charge. This is nearly a reverse or thc rule at common law in Ohio. -Some ol the publishers and printers or the United States are about to send a petition to Con? gress asking Tor a speclAc duty or not less than twenty-five cents a pound on all imported bot ks, either bound, unbound, or in sheets. Thc reason given for the petition ls, that while every book : manufactured lu America has to pay to thc gov- ? eminent at least fifteen separate taxes on the va? rious articles composing it, loreign books arc al? lowed to come tn under a duty comparatively HO ? triAing that it is cheaper to manufacturo them ' abioad. The "consequence," as they sa,, ?n their I statement, "is that a book can be ordered in England and imported into the Uuittd States that will not cost, arter paying duties, freight, and all other charges, more than hair of what a similar book manufactured herc would cost." -Thc Salt Lake Weekly Tribune, published by Elders Harrison, Godbs. Tullidge A Sherman, has come out with a new platform, advocating au entire reform in thc Mormon Church, its main features bel?g: No dominant priesthood; no mire missionaries tobe seut abroad; reduciion of tithings; abolishment of centralizing power and mercantile co operative institutions; abolish mcnt of the word Geutitc and all civil and relig? ions persecutions; advocating thc church power to be invested in twelve apostles, and that plural marriages are to bc supported only when based on pure affection and reUnemeut; women to be better educated and respected; the ordinance of the priesthood of the gospel to remain intact. It claims that the movement id supported by over C000Mormon members of the church, and the ablest writers and speakers. \ -A Washington letter say: "Mr. Wells, specia commissioner of the revenue, has for some time, been engaged, through the instrumentality or Mr E. C. Young, cider clerk or the Bureau or Statis tics, in collecting statistics relative to farm and mechanical labor, so as to be able to present thc amount of wages paid, price of board demand? ed, and the demand for each kind of labor in all portions of the United States. In addition to the schedule for collection of this information, a sup? plementary one has been distributed, mukiog Inquiries intended for the guidance ol immigrants who wish to settle in thc South and West, as to what lands are improved, and what unimproved, price, kinds of stock and price, railroad commu? nication, Ac. Answers are being received dally. Thc assessor of intcrual revenue for Colorado reports that tho monthly wages, with board, of ' femile servants In Denver, Colorado, ls $30 '? per month, and ttiat thc servants arc very ? scarce." , -A Washington letter to thc Baltimore Gazette says: "I verily believe the President has at last ..got his back up' with the Senate. It ls to be hoped, at least, that thc opinion recently express? ed of him by General Frank Blair may be veri?cd in the case or Mr. Hoar. Indeed, I learn h om a pretty good source, that he defies the refractory senators, will insist upon final action, aud threat? ens reprisals upon rejection. Thc objection to Hoar, that he ls a non-resident or the South never, in point or fact, having set foot upon soil south of the Potomac-sounds, at this day, su? premely ridiculous, especially coming, as it dots, from the mouths of thc carpet-haggcrs and scala? wags who misrepresent that section In Congress. Other matters have, I learn, soured the Geneial, ?masome say he has become exceedingly crusty of late. The Senate will not humor him by rc p mllng the tcnureof-onlce act. 'Serious' commit? tees are proposed to investigate very delicate mat? ters, andmore are in embryo. His 'policy'with r.-gard to Cuba heiuows wUl be handled without {.loves; and, in short, the horizon all around looks murky, and forebodes a coming storm, compared to which thc little 'onpleasantness' between Con? gress and Andr was mere lovers' quarrels." -Light ls reflected on a dark subject by a Sun ?porte! who has recently expiured tue pu'-'tim. t lc tunnel In New York. Pneumatic dispatching consists ef a railroad track enclosed in a tubo, the case being driven by atmospheric pressure. Thc velocl'y ot the car ls in proportion to the degree of pressure, which is produced by means of a fan or blower operated hy a stationary steam englue. The mechanism for operating the Pneumatic Dis? patch is of the simplest description. A car, a tube, a revolving fan ! Little more is required. Thc locomotive, with its ponderous appurte? nances, is dispensed with, and thc .-erial Huid that we breathe is the substituted motor. A hundred miles an hour will be made oa the railw ay now bc r constructed underneath thc streets of New York. Thc tunnel is niue feet four inches in di? ameter, lt starts in tito vault under thc side? walk, and, going east to thc centre of Broadway, makes a graceful curve, and then proceeds south I down Broadway. The tunnel now extends to the front dour of the Astor House. Thc diameter in? side thc masonry will be exactly eight feet. This space is to lie divided into lour tunnels-two ilfty-four inches each in diameter, for parcels trunks, freight, Ac., and two twelve inches in diameter, Tor letters. Each of these will bc a dis. tlnct tunnel, with division walls eight luches lu thickness. Within each or these tuuucls a separate railway will be constructed. An engine of 100 horse power will work thc pneumatic ejector, which is an instrument by which thc pneumatic motive power, air, is put in motion. The cars are propelled by blowing wind behind them. JJalcs or goods, on beiug landed rrom vessels, will bc placed on cars at the piers, and sent with almost lightning-like speed into the basement or Stew? art's or C*nilln's. Passengers' trunks will have reached their hotels np towu berore they are scarcely seated in their coaches or can get on board a rerry boat. Letters Tor mail trains start rrom Jersey City may bc mailed (Ivo miles rrom there but two or three minutes prior to train starting time. Maror Hall has tiled a complaint with Judge Carduzo, praying that thc company be enjoined rrom further prosecution ofthe work, and laying the damages already sustained by thc city in consequence at $100,000. Social Equality. The arrest of Manager Ford, of Baltimore, thc less'-e of the Cliarlestou Academy of j Music, for refusing to allow a colored man to occupy a seat in thc orchestra stalls of | that building, will most probably lead to a fiual settlement of a question which has vex .ed for lon? the business men of the South. As soon as the political equality of the blacks and whites was an accomplished fact, thc Southern Radicals turnod their attention to securing for their dusky constituents so? cial equality with the whites. Equality be? fore the law, equality in the jury box, equali? ty in the legislative halls, and equality m the public streets, did not satisfyNhem. They demanded for the freedmen absolute social eqjulity-equality in the church, equality in the theatre, equality in thc restaurant and saloon; that the negro, in fine, should thrust himself in as an equal wherever a white man or a white woman might go. It is tiie general belief that most of this agitation is due to the Radical whites, who desire to make political capital by dilating upon the wrongs of thc black man. As a rule, the colored people care but little to push them? selves where they are not wanted; but their numbers and political power in this State are so great, that a nod and a cunning word may easily indjce them to believe that they are outraged and abused, because of their color, when, in truth, they ara the subjects of a purely business regulation. Manager Ford did, doubtless, violate a law of this State in refusing, on account of | bis color, to admit a colored man to a par? ticular part of the Academy of Music. But the principle at stake cannot bc measured by the terms of a statute. Unless a man has the right to carry on Iiis own business in bis own way; to determine who shall be admitted and who shall be refused ; to re? quire that certain classes shall occupy cer-1 j tain parts of his building, what certainty has he that bc can make his business suc? cessful ? His regulations have as their ob? ject the pleasing of the public, not thc per? secution of a class; and if be is of opinion that the admission of men with black faces, or women with white hats, will interfere with his business profits, he has clearly the right to refuse to lake them in. In the pre? sent case the colored p.?oplc have comforta? ble seats, equal in every respect to the seats given at thc same price to the whites. Why, Lhcn, do they complain; or why do their leaders complain so loudly for them? It would be hard to show that any of them suf? fer pecuniary damage by their exclusion Trom Hie dress circle of thu Academy; but it is easy to prove that the admission of col? ored people to llie part of the hons : reserved for the whiles, would bo ruiuous to Manager Ford, and tantamount to closing the build- , lag. , And this brings us down to the bottom of the whoje matter. All the laws that ever disgraced tho statute book cannot compel the white man to seat his wife and children by the side of thc negro; nor to frequent the res-1J taurauts where the colored people go; nor to be the customer of thc barber-shop whose tow? els and brushes arc used for white and black alike. If thc courts decide tbat thc negroes can go where they please, they will go-but the white people will stay at home. The courts may determine that Cuflee has a legal right to touch shoulders with the whites in the theatre, in the church and the saloon ; but the right will be barren, for the white people wUl stay away. The Supremo Court may kill profitable branches of trade, and violate private rights, but it cannot make thc negro the social equal of the white man. That, at least, is certain ! The Labor Question. The Orangeburg A'?W* says emphatically that where farmers do not get what hand Lbey want this year, "'tis their own faull." Much land has been sold to colored men, who are building and settling upon it ; but this | j LIOC3 not hiuder farmers from contracting with these very men. A gentleman in the county lias rented lands to families all around him. Thc men of these families are to work in bis contract for one-third, as heretofore. The women are allowed to work the land rented to the family, the | i owner having a lien on their crop for the payment of the rent. Tue owner, also, by the terms or the contract, at certain times can call on all the hands at so much per day to work in his crop. This farmer al? ways has as many hands as be wants. By this arrangement, says our contemporary, the colored man has his home, his family work? ing for him and for themselves. The owner of the land has Jiands for al! the land he wauls to plant fur himself, and tho rest of it is rented out to good paying tenants. Now, eveu suppose Hie land is sold, instead of rent? ed, to these families, the same plan canop; rat:>, an 1 the sumo security is given for liam's for the painter, and a lien secures the paymi nt for the purchase of Hie laud. And th's lat tor is better, inasmuch aa tho security to both is permanent, and not temporary, for one year. Tho colored man is settled and happy, and tho planter has hands around him ready at his command. Mutual forbear? ance and kindness on either side will secure contentment and prosperity to holli. The colored man ?B not avaricious-he is satis? fied with comfort. Hy this means ho real? izes tho wish of Iiis heart-to have a home. Ho is elevated as a man and a laborer. He has every inducement to bc honest as a mau, and industrious as a laborer. He is rendered contented and happy. It takes very little to make him happy, and he has a right to bc happy. Without some such plan as this, the same difficulty will arise eacli year for hands. And it will increase every year, for the colored man is resolved to have a home and a start in life. These calm and sensible words arc well worthy of general consideration. Colored labor is the only labor that we can com? mand ; colored people have the political control of the State. Surely, then, it is wiser to make the colored men our friends and fellow-laborers in a common cause, than to aggravate the distrust and dislike which arc already too bitter and too deep for the good of our State and people. The Robertville Planters, j J The Nation treats tho move of Ute Robert? ville planters to offer farms, without money and * ithout price, to European immigrants, as a curious evidence of the struggle that is now going on "between tho new ideas that "new circumstances are forcing upon thc "Southern mind and thc ingrained prejudi? ces of a life-time." The struggle is, in truth, a struggle for existence, rather than a contest between tiie new and thc ol?fcr The Nation goes on to praise thc planters for their good sense in attempting to increase their laboring population,"but condemns, as TIIE NEV"* has done, the conditions "of the '"most foolish and impracticable kind," im? posed upon possible immigrants. But it says that, cn the whole, "the scheme re *'ported by the Robertville committee gives "proof of progress." Coming nearer homo, we find in the Barnwell Journal, an unqualified approvul of the comments of TriE NEWS, upon ' the regulations proposed by thc Robertville planters. Thc Journal says: "Wc fear that rho conditions Imposed will discourage immigrants in accepting these Linds, especially that requiring them lo have no Interconsc whatever with tho colored race. This is almost an impossibility, considering the large numbers of colored people in thal section, and if it could bc carried out would but engender hostility between thc races. Wc certainly need thc adoption ol sonic measures to prevent thc thefts which daily occur muong us, hut we do not think this would reach Ute case. Let the planters be well satisfied of l lie honesty and good character of thc immigrants, and there will bc no necessity to hamper them with any restrictions. If any conditions be imposed, let it bc this, that If any of them be detected in illicit trafic with negroes, or in any way abetting them in their crimes, that they bc required to surrender the lands donated, and give place to more honest laborers. The donation of lands, however, is a step in thc right direction, and we arc glad to chronicle thc inauguration of this movement . Let them, however, bc bestowed without these serious reslrlctlonsyand thoro ie no doubt bul lhat it will result in thc appreciation of alj jther lands, and also will lead to thc belier ^titivation and the higher improvement of all. Something must bc done to turn thc tide of immigration in this direction, and nothing ?.ill effect lt sooner than a course like this." TUE Laureti3ville Herald reiterates its :harge that Land Commissioner Leslie paid jxtravagant prices for the land bought in Laurens, "the plantations being very old "and worn, and the largest of them haviug "upon it not enough timber to inclose one '-tenth of it." Wc notice that thc sheriff advertises that :he Dollins tract is to be resold "at thc risk 'of the former purchaser, C. P. Leslie, Land "Commissioner." What means this, O Leslie ? CONGRESSMAN WlirTTBJIORR was to Speak i speech in BonuCltsvUle on Saturday week, V large number of colored people met ut he Courthouse, aud a great number of them tssertthat Mr. Wliltlemore'dpromised "forty teres and a mulo" waa to have boon given .hem on that day. But Whittcinore came lot and the colored people, mulcless and landless, went sadly home. JjUSiltCGS C?iu?is. OTON EY & LOWNDES, FACTORS AND COMMISSION MERCHANTS, V ANDERHORST'S WHARF, CHARLESTON, S.

And production for the first time In many years or thc great Historical Roman Tragedy, founded on the death of Virginia, as related in Roman History. Second appearance or thc popular young American Actor, Mr. JOSEPH T. FAN MN. THIS (TUESDAY) EVENING, January Wh, 1870, tue Classical Roman Tragedy, entitled, . VIRGINIOS. It is now some forty years since thc "Virginias" of Knowles was pronounced by Hazlitt the best acting tragedy of the modern stage. During that interval nothing has been produced to render this critical sentence less just; and, with thc ex? ception of "Venice Preserved," we can call to mind no neting tragedy In the English language, out of Shakespeare, that ls worthy to bc placed by its side. The "Cencl" of Shelly ls perhaps su? perior as a work of genius, as well as in breadth und intensity of tragic power; but as the nature of the story excludes that production from repre? sentation bcrore modern audiences, lt cannot be ealled an exception to the verdict we have given In ravor or "Vlrginlus." There arc many fine bursts of poetry In this tragedy, which are Intro? duced with great dramatic propriety and skill. Read Vlrginlus' reply to the exclamation of Lu? cius, that "Justice will be defeated ;" also, that exquisite thought, where, after calling on his slaughtered daughter, he watts for a response, and says: ? "I hear a voice so fine, there's nothing lives 'Twixt lt and silence." Many other instances could be quoted to show that the poet's as well as the dramatist's genius lias been tasked In the construction of this tragedy. "Vlrginlus" was produced In London In the spring of 1820, at the Theatre Royal, Covent Gar? den, it met with tho most distinguished success. Few plays have been represented on thc Ameri? can boards so repeatedly as this; and Mr. For? rest's personation of the Roman father hos been deservedly admired as a just and lofty embodi? ment or the author's conception. To those who deny that there has been a marked change or late years In the moral tone or productions intended for the stage, wc commend "Vlrginlus" as an evidence that thc most popular tragedy of the day is one that conveys none but the most Im? pressive lessons of domestic purity, manly worth and patriotism.
