Thc plan most generally approved ol is thc organization of a territorial government lor the district, with a gov? ernor to be appointed by the President, with a legislature elected by the people, and with a de? legate to Congress, by thc people. The wants or the District of Colum da have for many years been neglected by Congress; and thc presence of a delegate with power to speak, but not to vote, lt is believed, would give an opportunity to the people for the expression of their wishes. -After all the extravagant laudations by Charles Dickens of Fechtu, the actor, lt turns out that he is far from all American fancy painted him. Winter, the able New York critic, says of him : ?.Opinion as to the merit) or the actor is greatly divided. For our part, we have already Indica? ted that we see nothing remarkable In the acting ?j Mr. Fechter; nothing that is, which has not been equalled, and, iu some cases, surpassed, by actors native to tlie American stage. These Tlewswe may presently take occasion tos?ate Trttb more emphasis.

North Carolina, Penn sylvania, South Carolina, Vermont. Virginia,West Virginia and Wisconsin. Three have rejected ! y ene or both houses, and will not likely take any further action-Delaware, Kentucky aud Tennes? see. The constitution provides that any proposed amendment must tie ratitled by thc Legislatures .T thrccjfourths or the States before lt can become apart or the constitution. There are thirty-seven States, and the rat meat ion ot twenty-eight ls therefore necessary to constitute the amendment apart of the constitution. Five more arc there? fore necessary to render the ratltlcation com? plete. -A letter of the 15th Instant rrom Tarboro?, N. C., gives the following particulars of the execu? tion at Tarboro', 011 Friday last, or Lewis Hine?, colored, for the outrage or a young white girl named Sarah L. Johnson, ou the 29th or April last : .?When conducted to the scaffold the condemned man made no confession, but did not deny his gsrAi. A deputy sheriff then adjusted thc rope, ont so loosely that when the criminal was swung off the knot came beneath his chin. His legs were not pinioned. When he fell he struggled iearfully. By extraordinary exertion the sus? pended man seized hold of thc rope nt his throat with one or his hands. He turned round and xooad, and succeeded in getting his reel back on the platform rrom which he had just been hurled. Terrible excitement prevailed among the specta? tors while the unfortunate wretch was endeavor .ring to regain his reet; but ns thc ?tern decree or tlr> law had to be carried out, thc sheriff rushed ?pon the scaffold ami pushed Hie clinging foot of the wretch from the edge or thc platform. lie then continued swinging for seventeen minutes, when lifo was declared extinct. The mau was strangulated.'* -A meeting or the citizens or Washington was ?eld Saturday night for the purpos.- of discussing the International Exposition proposed to be held there In 1ST 1. Chief Justice Casey, of the Court .f Claims, presided, and made an earnest aCdress la behalf of the movement. Letters approving the project and promising support were read from Governors Bowie, or Maryland: Fairchild, or Wis? consin; Baker, or Indiana; Smith, or Alabama; Paddleford, or Rhode Island; Walker, or Virginia, and Harvey, or Kansas. Hon. John A. Bingham sent a letter regretting lils Inability to bc present st the meeting, but pronouncing that Washing? ton is the place for holding the exposition. Ad? dresses In Tavor or the movement were delivered by Hon. Henry Barnard, commissioner or educa? tion; Congressioual Printer Clapp, Colonel D. L. Eaton. Hon. Charles Mason and General O. O. BowarO. A resolution was adopted for the ap? pointment ol a committee to press thc matter before Congress. Tills committee will be made pui\flff in a day or two. The report or subscrip? tions read at the meetlug shows that over $S00. 000 has been subscribed by the citizens or Wash? ington In aid of the exposition. This, w;;h the sum ($500,900) pledged by the city, make? a total .f nearly %l,500.?eo; quite a respectable figure for a beginning. -Tue Nashville Union or Saturday contains an atcount or a most shocking double murder, per petratcd on Saturday night, 10th Instaut, near la Grange, Alabama. The young mcu murdered were Granville and William Pillow, sons of lhe late Major G. A. Pillow, of Murray County, and nephews of Major-General Gideon J. Pillow. The Cnion says: "The particulars of the affair, so far ns we have been able to learn them, are about these: Late in the evening of Sunday two men, masked and in disguise, rode up to the house or Granville Pillow, at thc locality Indicated, ami called him !% thc door. On reaching the door, one of the masqueraders of death drew his pistol and fired, the bail striking his victim in a vital part. The wounded man fell bleeding from the wound. Winiam Pillow, a brother or Granville, rushed to the door nu hearing the firing, to the rescue or his brui her. No sooner had he made his appearance than thc disguised fiends commenced tiring at hint al-o. Ile was soon prostrated by their fatal balls. They then took William a short distance from thc house, and, in a species of sink, left him dying, riddled with balls. Thinking that Granville, the elder brother, might not be quite dead, they then returned to thc house, and, driving thc inmates away, made sure of their bloody work by firing additional balls into the body or their victim. As? suring themselves that he was dead, they left the premises, ami up to the date of our latest infor? mation no clue as to who the perpetrators were or as to their whereabouts had been discovered. Thc two men were closely masked and otherwise disguised, and though it is asserted that their ac? tions and their words indicated that they were negroes, jio positive certainty exists that they were such. Granville billow was twenty-seven years of age, and leaves a saddened and bereav? ed young family to mourn his tragic and untime? ly death. William, the murdered brother, was but twenty-three years of age and unmarried.'' Form thc Line! Tho white people of South Carolina are at this time earnestly and anxiously casting about for some plan of organization, by whicli they can most speedily and certainly west the political control of thc State from the hands of the ignorant, corrupt ami shameless men who arc now in power. All agree that it is a supreme necessity tc se? cure, next fall, at any cost, a docent, capa? ble and honest government; and every in? telligent citizen, white, or^ black, outside of Hie Radical Ring, who has anything to lose or anything to hope for1# begins to feel the importance lo his own pocket, of checking at once, and decisively, the frightful growth of our State debt and taxation, which has begun under the present hybrid regime. It? would Le idle, however, to close our eyes to the wide difference of opinion which exists us to the means most likely to accomplish the desired result. Perhaps we cannot state this difference more briefly titan by contrast? ing some expressions of two of our State contemporaries which have already boen re? produced in these columns. Ou the one hand, tlie Winnsboro' i?eics talks with a glibness, which is clearly not all badinage, about "a new party which will ruif mixed ..black and white tickets, ami tims abandon "tlie 'time-honored principle* of being thor "oughly whipped every lime;" and on tlie other, we have, from tlie Laurensville Her? ald, bold and cheering words like these : "Tiie political campaign for 1670 ia soon to open, and tho destinies of a commonwealth are again to bo put up as the prize. When we contemplate the results at stake, is it not high time that the leaders of the Democracy were planning for the battle, and preparing to mar? shal their forces with energy and judgment ? Let the plans be broad and unmistakable; let them be free from mongreilsm, for late efforts In other States show that such can only end in division and defeat. Hiere is no common ground upon which Democrats and Radicals can meet-lhere is nothing of sympathy be? tween such opposing elements-their princi? ples are as dissimilar as the feutu.es and faces that compose their ranks. Let us then avoid anj thing like hybridism; let us boldly proclaim thc good old principles of our fathers that held sway in the early days of the Republic, and make a fair, square and manly struggle for the victory." Between the two policies thus sketched in a few sentences, the respectable people of the State, black and white, must make their choice. We do not believe .they will long hesitate. For ourselves, we have chosen. We think we appreciate the importance of success iu the coming struggle. We have learned, to our cost, of how nttle avail are political principles, when shorn bf political power. And we fully recognize Hie force of the homely adage which reminds us that "half a loaf is better than no bread." And yet it is our deliberate and fixed conviction that every consideration (if policy, us well tts principle, forbids any form of coalition or compromise with thc unclean organization that calls itself tlie Republican party of South Carolina. Equally inexpedient, in our view, would be anyconcession whatever to those shiftless and unprincipled adven? turers who having ridden into oflice on thc shoulders of a negro majority, ure shrewd enough to foresee that their downfall is at hand, and are already making coy profes? sions of conservatism and urging the forma? tion of a new party, in which they may once ! more hope for leadership and spoils. To the ' white people, these political rats can-bring not a single clement of strength. Let them , go down with their sinking ship. We can and will show that a square fight with Radicals and Radicalism not only oilers a fair probability of success, but is the only policy by which victory is within our reach. Meantime, in the name of South Carolina, we call upon our contemporaries throughout the State to arouse the people and bid them organize for battle. m *. te ?? ? The Charleston Extension Bill.'.. This bill was indefinitely postponed in the Senate, on Tuesday, and, if not dead, sleeps very soundly. The speeches against Hie bill of the leading senators, white and black, will be found in our Columbia correspond? ence. We are surprised to iiear it reported that thc Democrats in the House voled for Hie bill, because they were assured that Hie citizens of Charleston wanted the bill to pass This was a grave mistake. Every respectable man, woman and child in this city opposed the bill with might and main, although, whenever election day comes, we are ready to face the music. THE letter of Captain Sommers, which we print to- V' fully confirms the statements already ma..e in these columns. We may add that the officials here will be the cats paws of Spain until we have honest and capable men in the place of lickspittles and knavish fools. NASH said in the Senate, on Tuesday, that "when a government became oppressive, "the people had the right to change it" Precisely ! But if this doctrine had prevail? ed a few years ago, Nash would still be a bcot-black, or worse, in the capital of South Carolina. . Thc Purls Sensation. Tho Taris sensation in regard to Prince Pierre Bonaparte and Iiis luckless victim, M. Victor Noir, of Rochcfort's Marseillaise, is due to political circumstances. Both par? ties, wc doubt not. were utterly worthless. The only misfortune to French society is, that they had not destroyed each other, after thc example of Hie Kilkenny cats. Prince Pierre is what is known in Paris as a "mauvais sujet" His morals have al? ways been bad. His conduct in Algeria laid Iiis bravery under suspicion. And recently he has effectually put himself in Coventry liv a marriage with a lady of the demi? monde. This alliance afforded occasion for a spicy article in the Marseillaise, which in? duced Hie worthy Pierre to challenge M. Bochefort But this gentleman preferring for the present to fight the Bonapartes witli other weapons than pistols, turned over the business to Iiis colleague, M. Goussef. Thc arrangement was that Groussot should send a counter-challenge to Pierre, alleging as its ground the appearance of a defamatory ar? ticle iu a little paper of which the latter is either the parent or the sponsor. Then the friends of Grousset-two of them, for the enterprise was us risky as it was farcical waited on Pierre and fell into an altercation with him, which ended in a resort to pistols, holli parties being armed. Tims M. Noir came to Iiis end, and M. Bochefort obtained a new text for Ids philippics against the murderous Bonapartes, the tyrants of France, tl.3*Corsican assassins, ?kc, Ac. . That such a brawl should have disturbed Paris and endangered the Empire, as our telegrams of yesterday show, is one of the most singular circumstances in the history of that fickle and excitable, yet polished people. The conduct of Prince Pierre was bad enough, and yet was not without exten? uating circumstances. Whatever, his wife's career had been.bcfore lie made her the mis? tress of Iiis palace, she could look for pro? tection only to him, when she was insulted and pilloried in the Marseillaise. And the French code of honor, a relic of barbarism, indeed, yet still potent in Paris, constrained, | .Pierro to send a challenge to the responsible editor of the Marseillaise, who is M. Roche fort, and not M. Grousset. The interven? tion of the latter in the case was itself an insult. And thc grounds of the counter challenge were palpably absurd. Instead of a man of social position, whom he had se? lected as his antagonist, the Prince was con? fronted by a nobody-a Bohemian, whoso daily bread wa? defamation, and yet who, forsooth, alleged it as a grievance that could only be washed out by blood, that lie him? self had been defamed. Thc Marseillaise, like the Lanterne, is one of the fou!est sew? ers of Paris. Ko wonder, then, that Grous? set sent two friends instead of one, to bear his missive to the Prince. And no wonder that tlie insulted Pierre, who has not the meekness of Moses, should have been trans? ported Into a frenzy of rage.' The only wonder is that the French peo? ple do not turn their indignation against the Marseillaise, whose popularity is a disgrace to them. It is the accredited organ of scan? dal. A paper whose columns are charged from week to week with libels upon Napo? leon, upon the extravagance of his wife, upon the virtue of his mother, upon the do? mestic affairs of his cousins, and upon the morals of the ladies of the Imperial court, is unworthy the support of a generous and a chivalric people. It must lead to personal altercations and to popular tumults. It in? augurates a reign of license, and betokens a reign of blood. M. Rochefort need not talk about Corsica, when he carries under his cloak of democracy a dagger keener than any that was ever wielded by an Italian ban? dit, and while it is Iiis daily business lo de? stroy, not in sudden heat and passion, like the guilty Prince, but in cold blood, what all men hold dearer than life itself. THAT distinguished pluralist, Senator Cor? bin, in his great speech in the Senate,.on Tuesday, said, according lo our report, tba', '"he bad been long enough in this State "to ?:-? mis-understood." This is, we fear, a mistake on the part of our reporter. Mr. Corbin may 'have been "misunderstood'' once, hut he is certainly "understood" now. Loot aili) .fa ii no.
