Tho London Times has an article four columns lo:?g, reviewing Mrs. Stowe's new book on the Lord and Lady Dy ron matter. Thc writer admits tte likelihood of Lady Byron*a being deceived by ter husband's Inveterate passion, for mystifica. Hon. and really believed him incestuous. -The Kansas Legislature adopted a resolution, TTcdnesc'ay, memorializing Congress to provide for the carly apportionment of representation uuder the new census, and also a resolution recom? mending the removal of the national capital to the Fort Leavenworth military reservation. -Copies of certain Delgiau journals intended for circulation in France have been intercepted and seized bjjyhe French auihorlti?s. This act coming after the declaration that foreign journals were to be frc^from censorship excites surprise, and thc Radical journals accuse the government of inconsistency aud bad faith. -Thc following report from Havana was re? ceived lu New York Cltj Thursday night by the Spanish Consul: Two insurgent chiefs, Coca and Cat ballas, have issued a proclamation endorsing the cause of the Spaniards. Thc official Gazette of Havana will shortly publish the announcement that the collection of taxes will be discontinued. -Ten thousand men have struck at a town in France where M. Schneider, the famous Imperial politician, ls the principal factory owner. This ls thc lajtest and most overwhelming wave of that labor agitation which has been a portentous sign of the hour in France. A few more such strikes as have lately happened will hasten the more general strike for revolution. -The French ministry has declared its inten? tion of proposing that ail offences .of the press be tried before a jury, but as this proposition has not yet become a law, Rochcfort, whose trial soon takes place, will not have thc privilege of iPJury. The Radical journals charge the government with pressing the arraignment of the deputy for the purpose of avoiding thc operation In his case of the propescd law. -A few days since lt was positively and ofll Cially announced that Raspail, one of the leading members of the Radical party lu the Corps L?gis? latif, was dead. At 3 o'clock on Thursday, the report was contradicted, anil the deputations Which were on the way to Paris to attend thc funeral have been notilicd of the facts of thc case Much indignation is expressed nt the unknown a tthors of this cruel hoax. -The organization of the committee on Eastern rites and apostolic missions of the (Ecumenical Cranell is now complete. The committee is largely composed of Eastern prelates, but includes a ..ong Its members the Bishops of Augoluleine. Toronto and Burlington. Cardinal Antonelii has aoStired thc French ambassador that the Pope wili never hesitate to maintain thc rights of the Church as equal to those of thc State. -The Southern people are watching with in? tense Interest the cotton tax case pending befare the Supreme Court of the United States In Mem? phis. They argue that If cotton can be thus tax? ed, while the products of other States are not Bubject to taxation, the cotton States are virtually outside the pale of constitutional equality, and their products in constant peril of confiscation, involving ruin to th? producer. The decision will havp an important bearing on thc next planting. -General Duller failed twice in Hie House on Fiirtay to get the floor to reply to Mr. Dawes' speech of Tuesday, and to defend the administra? tion from the charges or extravagance which the latter made so glaringly. Mr. Dawes, notwith? standing thc abuse heaped upon him by some of his owu party, intends to stand by his record, and will make a speech in defence of his first oue. He has received letters from.Horace Greeley, thc edi? tors or the New York Post, Boston Traveller, and other Republican journals, warmly commending his expose ol extravagance. -Thc train tendered by thc Eastern Railroad to convey Mr. Peabody's remains from Portland to the place or burial hus been completed in the workshops or the company. Thc interior or the saloon car ls hung with heavy rolds or black and white serge, falling rrom thc centre to either side, the windows being partially covered by drapery. English and American nags, rdged with black, form a part or thc decorations at each end of thc saloon. The car is neatly carpeted, and in the eentre is a bier about two feet wide and eight feet long, covered with black velvet and trimmed with silver fringe and tassels. The whole elect is som? bre, but very tasteful. The two passenger cars which accompany the train are also hung with the emblem-.' of mourning, folds af black ?nd whit . serge meeting ir. the centre or the ceiling from each comer and side of the cars, and the win lows are also draped. The locomotive of the tra i. th'.* -George Peabody,'' is appropriately draped. -Tranpmann. the murderer of t:ie Kinck family, was executed at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning. Notwithstanding thc early hour, the execution wasw. ncss.-.l by a great crowd of people, who taunted and yelled at Traupraan as he mounted thc scaffold. An immense crowd bestf) to gather in thc neighborhood of thc place of execution at an carly hour. The scaffold was erected duriug the night on thc Place de la Raquette. Before daybreak Wednesday, lleldenreich, the official executioner, tested the scaffold, fastened the ax to the block, and proceeded to the prison. The director of the prison conducted him in person to the cell of Traupmann, who was pale and excited, as if liaviug passed a sleepless night. Laying his baud upon his shoulder, Ikidcnreich addressed his victim: "Thou lielongest to me." A percepti? ble shudder passed over Tranpmann's frame as these terrible words were pronounced, and the murderer seemed to have lost the self-possession which characterized him during hts trial. His .'lands were tied behind his back, a short chain was put to his feet, which permitted him to make very short steps. The chain was connected to thc hands by a rope. Thc prisoner was then taken to the scaffold, the steps of which he as? cended quickly, in an agitated manner. After embracing thc priest, he cried out In a loud voice: '-I persist I have accomplices."' These were the last words he uttered. His head be? ing in the proper place on the block, the pulleys were adjusted, and the ax fell-the terrible instru? ment of death-lnstantly severing the neck o? tlie monster. Extraordinary precautions had been taken to guard against disorder. Thc police and military were on the ground in great force, but their services were not needed. Thc- Utter Weakness and Folly of n Co? alition With Nondescript Republicans' . -Tlie advocates of a coalition, in Hie fast approaching canvass, with tlie so-called moderate Radicals, have one great argu? ment which does double duty as a pretext and vindication. A continuance of Radical rule, they say, will ruin the people, and it is, therefore, high time to put away theory and fancy, aud, if necessary, stoop to con? quer. They declare, with laudable energy, that they are resolved to win, but that the fight can only be won by linking hands and joining fortunes with what may be called for the nonce nondescript Republicans. This is always .the burden of their song; and, while, we admit the imperative need that exists of regenerating the State, and arc thoroughly determined to whip out Radi? calism at the fall elections, we unhesitatingly avow the opinion that an alliance with any form of Rc ^ublicanism known in South Car? olina would uip our hopes in the bud, and give to the Radicals the control of the gov? ernment for many years to come. Conceding frankly that we must seek a practical solu ? tion cf the political problem, and should not fritter away the golden opportunity of the hour, it is still evident that a league with the Radicals contains no one advantage to compensate for the weakness and dissension it would uncpiestionably introduce into what may easily be made a compact and homoge? neous party. "Whence, we may ask, would the hybrid or nondescript party draw its recruits ? These would chiefly be drawn from among the pre? sent Radical officials, whether natives or polit? ical immigrants. The few respectable Repub? licans who settled in the State after the war, who invested their means here, and who have become a part and parcel of South Carolina, will undoubtedly side with any organization known to be hostile to Radi? calism. And why ? Because Radicalism iu the Carolinas is thc expression of personal dishouesty and official corruption. Although his sympathies lutve been, and are, with what is known as the Republican party in the North, every consideration of self-interest and self-protection will impel the private citizen to join in any movement to rid South Carolina of its present or any similar State government. Ile might, indeed, act with tlie hybrid party, if it could be formed; but, in its absence, he would assuredly ally him? self to any party which arrayed itself in op? position to the Radical knaves, whose liveli? hood is one of public plunder and individual thievery. As regards the respectable Re? publicans, then, the hybrid policy has no real advantage over a straight platform and square contest. Many of the Radical officials, the whitened sepulchres of the party, are ready, of course, to join mongrelism, whatever thc questiona? ble shape in which it come. They foresee the doom of Radicalism, and know that only by an obliteration of existing parly lines can they hope to cling to thc power and place, without which they are deal Every bod%can name the most prominent among these Radical officials, who are now iu the market. They are the glib of speech aud smooth of mien-whether they hail fruin Boston or Charleston, whether they publicly announce their fealty to Radicalism, or deny the soft impeachment and enter into a partnership of profit. All these half-way Radicals-less candid, but not a whit less rascally than their fellows-would swell the hybrid ranks. Rut in what beggarly num? bers ! Ami feeble as would be the accession of strength from their own votes, the vaunt ed influence of these political nondescripts upon the colored vote is even moro con? ten? pt i I ile. Outside of the politicians or o?Bce-ho?ding class, there are three classes of colored peo? ple: 1. The negroes who are not yet unde? ceived, and who have a lasting faith in the oft-promised "forty acres and a mule" these stand by the League aud will vote blindly as their leaders direct. 2. The col? ored people, who see that they have been bamboozled, but are not altogether decided to vote against their party. 3. The colored people, who are directly dependent on the whites for their livelihood. Now the hybrids can do nothing with the first class. These will vote, for the present, the regular Radi? cal ticket. Were Daddy Cain, or Elliott, or Whipper, or F. J. Moses, Jr., to club himself a Conservative, he could not carry with him a corporal's guard of converts. The secoud class are ripe, and ready, to fall into the lap of any parly which has not deceived them, and which They can trust. They want work, fair wages, justice, protection, equal rights all that Radicalism will not give. With the bold opponents of Radicalism they are likely lo go, and, if they do not, no alliance of de? graded natives and greedy carpet-baggers can either catch or hold thom. The third class is already on our side. It is the class which, but for the supineness and effemi? nacy of our own white people, would have defeated the Pillsbury Ring at the last Charleston elections. The respectable col? ored people did their whole duty. The whites did not. Where, then, is thc boasted strength of the mongrel co-operationists? We answer that it has no strength, no power, no force. By promises of Governorships, or Lieuteuant Governorships, or Attorney-Generalships, or Seats in Congress, or with the bait of social recognition, it might gain the votes of a few hundred renegades and adventurers; but, beyond this, nothing ! Thc movement would, on the other hr>nd, certainly encounter the hearty scorn and hatred of thousands of white men and thousands of colored men, who know the dillbrenee betwecu right and wrong, and had rather bc defeated iu a stand-up fight than support, directly or indi? rectly, Radical robber}- and corruption. Mongrelism, hybridism, coalition-call it what you will!-isa mockery and snare. We want but two parties in South Carolina. One, the Radical party-the parly of tyran? ny, of ignorance, of extravagance, of op? pressive taxation, of nepotism and fraud. The other, the party of free trade, free speech and free press, of personal liberty, of evcu-handed justice, of equal rights, of eco? nomical government, and low taxation. These are the issues of the day, and our peo? ple know it. They have made up their minds; and will light Radicalism, unceas? ingly and untiringly, until it be vanquished and undone. Thc Biggest Job Yet. We have already noticed the introduction, in the State House of Representatives, of a bill to redeem certain obligations of the State. It authorizes the issue of $324 OOO, in bonds of the Slate, to pay the principal and interest of a loan made in July, 18C4-, and February 1S?5, by the Charleston Sav? ings Institution to the Rank of thc State. This monstrous job will, we believe, slick in the throats of all the Radical legislators who have not been made to "see light" by in? convertible currency. The loan was made in Confederate cur? rency, which in July, 1SG4, wa3 worth about fire cents on the dollar in gold, and in Feb? ruary 1SC5, was worth tico cents on the dol? lar in gold. Now, it is proposed to give State bonds at par, worth eighty cents on the dollar, for the full amouut of the princi-1 pal and interest. Had the claim remained in the hands of the Charleston Savings Institution, a feeling of enlarged liberality toward the uufortu tunate depositors might have induced the Legislature to do more for them than wt s strictly equitable and just. But even this excuse is wanting. At the sale of the assets of the Charleston Savings Institution the claim was sold for a song : $100,000 brought.?.$640 $150,000 . 1U00 Total."..$2241) The bill before the Legislature proposes to cancel the claim, with interest, by giving : S324.00O State bonds, worth at 80.$239.200 Cost of the claim. 2,210 Profit on thc job.5230,900 These few ligures ought to swamp the whole scandalous adair. LESLIE says that he will not make a full report of the operations of the Land Commis? sion until he can submit one that will "sat? isfy the people." Thc senatorial satellites chimed in, praising the Commission or com? missions. It was the old story: "Tickle me, Johnny ! tickle me do : "Von tickle me and I'll tickle you." One senator, however, hinted that it would take a thousand years to give lands to the landless upon Leslie's plan, and au othersaid that this same Land Cominissiou would bc the ruin of the Radical party. LESLIE says that he was offered $.'5000 to support a certain claim, and that he scorned the proposal. Does the senator remember that when he was asked, a little while ago, to support the formation of a new county, he said frankly : "You know it will take m one}' to carry it through ?" What did this mean, unless that somebody was to be bought? And who? The virtuous senator will please reply. ATTEMITS are making to stave oil' the election for Judge of the Supreme Court, so that Judge Moses and Judge Willard may not be contaminated by association willi a negro Judge. These scalawags and carpet-buggers are growing too proud for their place. They forget who made thom thc little that tliev are. Ont legislators grow more dignified every day. DeLarge accused Jackson of having insulted grossly the Charleston Sisters of Mercy. Jackson Hally denied the truth of the assertion. DeLarge then exclaimed: '.Great God! Ananias still lives." This beats Congress all hollow! WE PICINT this morning a full and trust? worthy accouut of the dastardly murder of Mr. T. J. K. Dargan, nt Graham's Cross Roads, on the lSth inst. The statement of I Captain Maurice is clear and direct, and we hope that thc murderer will be brought speedily lo justice. THE bill to grant more money to the Land Commission was introduced, so it is said, "to test the sense of the Senate." They mean non-souse. ALL about the Blue Ridge Railroad Ititi? is to be printed in the forthcoming report of that company. Hurry it along, Mr. Presi? dent ! THE proceedings of onr honorable and dignified Gen Tal Assembly on Friday and Saturday were even more funny than usual. Radical Extravagance. Wc print this morning n full abstract of the speech of Mr. Dawes, delivered in Con? gress on Tuesday. Mr. Dawes ha3 bad the courage to tell the plain truth ; but if he per? severe, he must break with his party. Of Mr. Dawes, the Journal of Commerce says: '.From snell a man in such a place ti nth is precious indeed. The Democrats may howl till they split thc mighty dome of thc capitol against the extravagance of the Federal Gov? ernment, but they will have no more effect on Radical representatives and the Radical party than on the cold marble statues that decorate the pile. Rut when the Radical Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, stands up with thc documents io prove every word that he says, and inflicts the faithful wounds of a friend upon the ex? travagance of thc administration, Radical cars are pricked up to hear him, and he is not to be cried down and his damaging statements disposed of with a Podsnap wave of the hand." Tl ie pocket nerve is touched, and the end of Radicalism is nigh! _IPants.

S ORGO SUGAR AND REFINED SYRUP. We would Invite the attention of Planters to I he consideration of some or the advantages in Hie cultivation ol' SORGO as a Crop, which arc, Hie small amount ot labor; the hardy character or thc plant in lu ability to endure, wit bout ma? terial injury, both drought and wet: its freedom from thc attack of worms; its carly ma luting, and the rael that the Seed and every part of the plant is ot'ixreat value. In consequence or the Imperfect method hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice or this Cane, lhere has arisen a prejudice, ami the belief that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very inferior Syrup. But, by thc discovery of thc Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed in thc minds ot all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to I he best Chemical Syrups or the Heil aeries, is pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make lt without doubt, tue most profitable crop that can be plant? ed, or these racts abundant evidence can be shown. Any Information on this subject can bn obtain? ed by applying lo Mr. P. G. CA RT, Charleston. S.
