It wil also be observed, upon examining the Ftfteentl amendment, that even under its mischievous pro visions a State has still tue power to rcirulate tin qualitlcaUous of voters, the only prohibition bcinj (hat the qualifications shalt bc uuiform in (hell application, without regard io race or color. Oin of Lue ''amendments" of thc Senate deprives Vir glnla rorevcr or thc power to so frame ilssuffragi laws as to dUfranihlse any one now entitled tt voto or liolil office, bj its present coustiti Tiiis provision was not iutcuded solely to o upon that unfortunate State, lt was intern a Congressional exposition of what shall after be thc interpretation of thc clause of t constitution about Hie centrai authority "gi teeing each State a republican form of gi meut !" It was evidently levelled at Hie original slave States, which have never ye declared outside of the Cul?n.7' ?A Matter of Money.*' Tiie Radical party is a money-ring, s good people fi this State know right Tiicy go in for the mighty dollar, have erected in Washington, and every capital where they rule, a temple of '. mon. They legislate for money, the) for money, they are fertile in expedid enfranchisement and disfranchisemen office creating and office vacating fo ney, they have codified the science an art of making money. When a R: i union is formed, or a Radical coun legislature meets, you have no need t I what are they seeking for. Whether \ present a pistol or produce a paper, tl: ? mand is the sumo: "Stand and deli . and you have just nothing to do but t ? your hands in your pockets and brin: your purse. : We have often called attention to the rious sellemos of public plunder which ? Jbecn devised at Columbia, anil by .. certain newly made citizens, who dearh our State-and with just reasun-have : gorged nigh to bursting. And we have frequent occasion to pursue the of exposure until the Augean stable at y lumbia is cleansed."" The public bm will be multiplied every month while ; obscene rout now swarming in thc gi > natorial mansi?n and legislative hal South Carolina remain in indisturbed ' session of thc purse uud sword of t State. Xor is it only in this or that State thu shameless venality of the Radicals 1 stamped them with infamy. Wasbingti j utterly corrupt. Lobbyist!] for the pure ? of Congressional votes has become a fessionai business. When the preside J impeachment trial was going on, m was freely used if the interest of the pt j cutiou, and it is now publicly stated the high national tribunal which dec ? upon the case was not inaccessible to 1 appeal. ^ ' Recently a new metho 1 has now been \ vised by the Radicals of the national mt . polis for the purpose of raising the w A Lincoln monument is to I?; erected foi ? purpose, we suppose, of keeping the Si ; in a wholesome awe and dependence, ! of thus removing, after a novel fashion, i asperities of tho late war. Groups, fig ? and bas-reliefs relating to the abolitio slavery, the Confederate surrender, and \ Congressional amendments will adorn \ pedestal; andotrthe summit the illustr , Abraham will be perched, seated and s ing the proclamation which he and > counsellors thought would involve the Sc in all the horrors of a servile war. Aro I the middle member of the monument ? stand twenty-one bronze sQtues of t chief civilians, and at the base will 1 ' and ramp six equestrian statues of the h ' ing generals, who contributed to tho s cess of Hie Union. This monumental ] . which a South Carolinian, Clark Wills, , devised, will of course conciliate the af : tions of the Southern people to the Un 1 wonderfully. It is the consummation t , crown of "the magnanimous policy'' of wi ) we have heard and enjoyed so much ! But the most admirable feature of . plan is its financial policy. The Radi I Hub, if we may speak so irreverently j immaculate New England, is not lo b . thc burden, but will shift it upon other ? t tions of thc country. Of course the p r South, as usual, will be expected to play 3 Helot's part. The materials of thc mo: 1 meut that commemorates our snbjugati j we will furnish in the shape of $400,1 t worth of cannon voted for this purpose s Congress. "So the struck casie stretched upon the pla "Xo more through rolling-clouds to soar agu r "Sees his own leather on the fatal dart, . "And winged thc shaft that quivers at heart." The Wost must do her part in contril " ting money. Hence every officer of the sociation. except General Spinner, of N , York, is u Western man; and Dr. Bvllot I who engineers the enterprise, in the li - number of "OW and Sew," Halters the W? r extravagantly. Radical New England w 1 we suppose, furnish the speakers when t monument is finished! r Nor is this the only fine stroke of polic i It is fur exceeded in shrewdness by anotli - arrangement, which Dr. Bellows imiocenl ; betrays, and which is nothing more or lc \ than this: that tiie groat civilians and gen . rals who are to be grouped around Lincoln . to repose, so to speak, in Abraham's 1J ? som-must pay for that honor! There something wonderfully amusing in the ape { og)-given by the patriotic Doctor. "Ct . "tainly there is something,'' he says, "n ; "wholly delicate in the way in which tl s "committee, by its energetic agent, /ms a? s "preached the gentlemen th ns far honored ( ' "with the suffrages of the committee-cr? ? "soliciting their own co-operation, to tl - "extent, at least, of naming the persoi ' "likely lo bc most interested in their hom ' "and fame. But this is one of thc vnlgai j "ties inherent in republics." Ii he had sai , one of the vulgarities ol' Radicalism, 1 . would, perhaps, have been nearer thc marl For the first time in the history of til 1 country, fame and honor are put up to til _ highest bidder/ as in the last days of til j Ruinan Empire, and are publicly bought an i sohl. We hope that under the statue t . each civilian and general will bo inscribe 1 the amount he has given for his elevatior 5 , so that posterity may know, as exactly a . we do, just what Radical fame and honor i s worth. It is all money, money, money, frot: - beginning to end. 1 _* > mm > ?_ THE contest for the associate justiceshii , of the Supreme Court grows warmer, am t the chances of Wright are "a leetle" bette . than those of Whipper, the more especial]; 1 as the former has in his favor Daddy Caii 1 and the "Missionary Record," some extract I from the last issue of which are printed ii , our Columbia correspondence. ?

Our Washington specials report that the contested election case of Wallace against Simpson came np in the House of Represen? tatives yesterday. The Committee on Elec? tions had reported that Mr. Simpson liad a primo facie title to his seat, and tills report was adopted. At this moment the Radical leaders hurried lo tho rescue, and after n fierce tight reconsidered Hie vote and laid the report of the Election Committee on the table. As the case stands, Mr. Simp? son cannot obtain Iiis seat until "Wallace abandona the contest, or has the case finally decided against him. In this way the Radi? cals stave oiT the questiou and gain breath? ing time. Had Mr. Simpson been a Radical he would long ago have had his scat; a3 lie is a Democrat, he must run the gauntlet of a thonsanddifficulties, and await thc good w ill aud pleasure of Hie dominant parly. -? x o> .i ? Thc City Finances. Wc print this morning, as requested, c laide showing the "principal items" of the city expenditures, as taken from the ollicial reports of the City Treasurer for Hie years 1867, 1SCS and 1S69. According to this table, Hie expenditures, for Hie purposes slated, were $56,415 less in 1S69 than in lSf.S, and $63,120 less in 1868 than in 1S(?7. This is a very pleasing exhibit; but so bald a comparison does not show fairly and fully thu difference between Hie actual outlay iii Hie three years specified. Many other sums were paid out than are here set down, and we are forced to believe that, in the tallie of Alderman Voigt, only those expenditures are mentioned which show to the advantage of Hie Pillsbury administration. If the City Treasurer will jHiblish a table showing a'l Me expenditures of thc city in lSli7, lS6?s and lS?'J, we can lind out what really has been accomplished in the way of retrench? ment and reform. And it must be roniem lered that the expenses for streets and pav? ing were naturally far larger in 1867, tiiC second year after Hie war, than it was nec? essary for them to be in 1868 and 1869. Thu large expenditures on streets and drains in 1867 are, we presume, easily accounted for. To show tiie small value of thc table print? ed elsewhere, as a proof of economical wan igement, it may be mentioned that tia? $26,751,?spent on plank roads, is not inclu Jcd, nor is tho $42,219 paid out for the Coard of Health. These two suma alone would more than sweep away the wonderful saving shown by Alderman Voigt In order, however, that Hie present Radical adminis? tration may have Hie benefit of a compari? son with Hie estimates of the preceding Rad? ical administration, we give a table showing tiic estimates of Mayor Clark's Council (ol which Mr. Voigt wasa member,) /ur the year 1869, and the actual expenditures for tht year 1869, as shown by the City Treasurer: Mayor Clark's Mayor Pillsbury's Promise.

We confess that this expenditure ol $94,748 more than wa3 estimated a year ago liv Mayor Clark, is far more consistent with free lunches, Cuban receptions, grass pick? ing and worse, thau is thc nattering state? ment prepared ly Alderman Voigt. A hal) truth is worse than no truth at all, and Hu City Council might as well make a clean breast of it at once, and turn over a new leaf for the future. Hook Notices. ASKAROS KASSI?, THK COPT. A Romance 01 Modern Egypt. Hy Edwin DeLeon, late Uni ted StateaConsul General for Egypt. Phila? delphia : J. ll. Lippincott. We have received advance sheets of this new romance, about issuing from Hie press ni Mr. Lippincott. It deals with the East, tin cradle of the human nice, and in il are de? picted Hie influences ol' the two things whlcli olor tiic whole wool and web of Eastern life the latalism of Islam ami thc isolation of Hu Kareem. The hard facts of the East an- slrangei ihau the dreams ol the West, and tin- anflioi of "Askaros Kassi.?" proposes to cull a few Howers from the garden .?0 long neglected by poet and novelist alike. Mr, DeLeon is ?1 pleasing and graceful writer, and long resi? dence in the East must have given him ample material for a work which combines lilt charms ol romance and reality. THK GALAXY. Some reaction Is almost inevitable with t magazine after the attainment of tiic plain- ol excellence that usually denotes the opening 01 a new volume, and thc February Galaxy, nc less than most of its contemporaries, illus? trates the fact. Mr. Reade's story continues, and will atone for shortcomings elsewhere, "Expressions,"' by T. M. Coan, contains some close and relined thought, but jumps with Hu fashion of the time in pushing supposed anal? ogies and doubtful precedents too far. Mr, Justin McCarthy's account of Brigham Young ls very iconoclastic, and, wo doubt not, en? tirely trustworthy. The miscellaneous wri ting at the end is fairly up to its mark, and thc stories are, at least, not commonplace-ex? cept, strangely enough. Anthony Trollope's "Panjandrum," which is thc poorest "Editor"* Tale'7 he has given us. Tun ECLECTIC. A portrait of the lamented James T. Brady is the frontispiece of the February number. The leader is a fruitful article-Islam-from the Quarterly Review. Anning Hie other arti? cles, all of them lirst class, are : The Defend? ers of our Northwest Frontier, from the Corn? hill; the Rattle of the Philosophies, fruin (he Contemporary Review; the conclusion ol Hie Early History of Mau, from the North British: Lambeth and the Archbishops, from MacMil? lan; Study and Opinion at Oxford; France Adrift, fr?m Belgravia; and the usual poetical, literary, scieutiticand art notes.

In consequence of the imperfect mcthoi hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice of Hil' Cane, there has aileen a prejudice, and the belie that Sugar could not be produced, but only a vcr; Inferior Syrup, lint, by the discovery of th Southern Process, these opinions have boen com pletely reversed in thc minds of all those win have examined and tested this Process, as the; realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to th best Chemical Syrups of thc Refineries, is prc dticed, but also Sugar equal to thc best New Ot leans, in such quantity, as to make lt withou doubt, thc most protlfablc crop that can bc plant cd.
