One linc carries for nothing and gives a dinner to each pssen ger; the other carries for nothing and gives each passenger a dinner and a pair of buckskin gloves. -Don Piatt says the Prince was not escorted to church, Sunday, by a band of music, because "the bands were engaged In burying deceased darkeys. All the brass bands ot Washington bury n cg roes in thc daytime, and serenade the mayor at night." -Robeson got drowsy at Thornton's reception thc other evening, but didn't dare to leave be? cause a lady told him it was not etiquette to go before the Prince. Fish at length told him he had been humbugged, and tue, great naval Secre? tary hied him to bed. -Texas papers report that twelve or fifteen hundred immigrant" of goon odometer could -uranjrernents at this time for working tac plantations In Dewitt County ou shares, and have their subsistence, stock and agricultural Imple? ments furnished them. -Tlie treaty concluded by Mr. Burlingame be? tween the United States and China has been rati? fied by the Chinese Government. Mr. Burlin? game's mission ls extended two years, and the sum or $140,000 In gold has been appropriated for thc expenses of the embassy. -Thc original model of a telegraphic battery files by Professor Morse, when he got his patent, has been unearthed 'rora a lot of old rubbish in the cellar of the Patent Office, where lt had been lying for years. The clumsiness or the signal key, as compared with the one or the present day, Is ridiculous. It ls nearly two feet long, and has a large lump of lead at the end furthest rrom the hand, to throw thc key up and break thc cir? cuit. -We learn rrom the New Orleans Times that the thirteen seizures and libels of sugars imported Into that port, and alleged to be fraudulently in voiced, amount to :;,2uo,ooo pounds. Should all bc confiscated, thc sum of $400,000, less $20,000 due for dudes, will Inure to the libellants, includ? ing the govern inc-it,- Hie collector, naval officer and surveyor of thc port, the district attorney re? ceiving an inconsiderable portion. Four cases have been tried, ami in each tho verdict was for the government. There arc nine ot tier coses to be tried, all standing upon tile same grounds as those already tried. -Ira prison ment for debt lins oeen abolished so quietly in England that the change has attracted but little attention abroad. This reform, which went into operation un the 1st of January, emp? tied all the debi ors' prisons and sponging houses in Loudon. At the White Cross street Prison there were ninety-four debtors lu confinement. Upon being lu formed that they were at liberty. Sixty-three asked tobe allowed to stay until the next day, as.they liad no homes to go to. The folly of trying io force men (without money) to pay their debt-* by locking them up was uever more forcibly illustrated. We suspect that this great reform is, pauly, at least, one of Mr. Dick? ens' triumphs-the result or his forcible pictures of prl-on abuses In "The Pickwick Papers" and "Little Dorrit." -A most audacious robbery was committed by burglars, on Tuesday night, ia the boase or Mr. James A. Bill, a wealthy farmer at Lynn, Conu. The house was entered, the silver plate, Jewelry, Ac, were gathered and nicely packed lu a new buffalo robe, and left in a room. They then went to a room occupied by Mr. Bill's daughter, and by threats or death to herseir and her father, they prevented her making an outcry. They then cut off her hair, which was quite long and handsome. While engaged In this work, a sou of Mr. Bill re? turned home from a Good Templar'* meeting, making quite a noise, but the villains kept at Work, and leisurely prepared to leave the boase. The young lady then succeeded in alarming the tamlry In time to frighten the robbers away with? out their booty. This ls the second attempt on the same premises within a short time. -It wus thc invariable custom of Mr. George D. Prentice to rise early ia the muralug_sonic hours before his younger associates were awake and to begin at once the labors or the day. A* Boon a-* it was light enough to see how to work, he usually began thc task or overhauling the large pile or exchanges which had been carried to his room ihe Dight before rrom t lie room of the sews editor. Ile looked over every newspaper as it came, and wheuever he round an article suggestive or an editorial, or a paragraph sug? gestive or a witticism, ne tore it out. seldom re? sorting to the use or the scissors, unless he found them lying conveniently at hand, and laid it opon his table, ready ror use when the time ror writing came. By nine or ten o'clock in the morning, he was ready for his amanuensis, who usa.ilh came io his room about that hour, and he th ii begau thc serious work ot the day. -The Traupmaun tragedy set quite a number orth i volatile brains of Paris mad. There was a Zouave who declared himself to have been Traup nana's accomplice; au artillery mau attempted to fc:li. In a wine shop, a person of whom he knew not hin;:, and o:: being arrested loudly proclaimed himself to be an accomplice, and declared that be "wished to bo as celebrated as Traupmann;" a respectably dressed lady weat to see the examin? ing magistrate, and, on being admitted by that functionary, burst Into tears, and declared her self Traupraann's accomplice; ami the abused candidate at thc late elections, M. Gagne, who .harangued thc passers at the fool of thc obelisk in the Place de la Concorde, calling on the public to kill the Emperor like a "wild beast," surpassed his former eccentricities by sending to all the Paris newspapers a circular in which tic "solicits the supreme honor of being executed instead of Traupmann, of whomhc declares himself thc ac? complice. " -The personal appearance of the two lady "operators," who arc now causing a sensation in Wall street, New York, is thus sketched: Mrs. Jen? nie C. Clatlin, though married eight, years, is a young lady of some twenty-four years. Uer fea? tures arc full, and a continuous smile plays upon her countenance. She is, to all appearance, the photograph of a business woman-keen, shrewd, whole-souled, and apparently a linn foe of the "ifirl of the period" creation, whom she describes as a sickly, squcaining nondescript. She is gene, rally plaluly dressed, and speaks business in every gesture. Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull is her sister. She is some five years older than Mrs. C., and has a keen, bi ight eye. She is evidently of a sanguine, nervous temperament, and it might be appre? hended that a serious tlnanclal shock would not tell well on her constitution. She states that since she has been in business in New York some two or three years-although their opera? tions were conducted solely through agents ia the street, they have made about $709,000. -A dispatch daied Rom e. January 29th, says: "Some important news has transpired in refer? ence to thc business before thc (Ecumenical Couu cil. A schedule communicated to thc Council pro? poses that the Council shall declare that the Pope, by virtue of his omeo as thc elected head of the church, is the absolute head of au infallible church-infallible as chief priest and potentat.', superior to and Independent of all ecclesiastical councils. Th'.- schedule confirms tho divine right or all princes, ami recognizes that their royalty comes by the grace or God. Thc theory or uni? versal suffrage as apolitical dogma is reprobated, and thc influence of the church will bc opposed to it, as in conflict with thc true theory or head? ship or thc church and the pontifical Infallibility. The temporal pawer of thc Pope as tho Prince of the Rom?n States,and an Independent sovereign, ls recognized and defined. No discussion will bc allowed upon the report of thc commission charged with presenting and remodelling this schedule. Thc members of thc Council will more? ly vote 'Placet' and 'Xoa Placet.' without debate." The "Social Equality" Dodgc^. The Northern leaders are cm^rvx about for a new policy, and if Mr. Wendell Phillips is an exponent of tlie advanced Radicalism of thc hour, they have made up their minds that in the Northern anti Western Slates their race is uearly run. Upon Hie issues of Congressional reconstruction, upon the pledge of an honest and economical govern? ment, and upon Hie military prestige of their candidate, the Radicals elected onr-smoky Ctesar at tlie last Presidential elections. But during the past eighteen months there has been a thorough change iu tho temper of tlie country anil tlie fooling of the people. Re? construct ion is so far settled that no party proposes to rip open the old wound and dis? turb thc new State Governments 01 the South, only because they were formed in wanton defiance of tlie express prohibitions of thc Federal Constitution. Negro suffrage is a fixed fact. The freedmen enjoy thc right to vote, and exercise that right without moles? tation. Therefore it is Hint the Radicals can make no effective appeal to the white masses, who feel that unequal laws, extrava? gant expenditures, oppressive taxation and Congressional usurpation, touch them more nearly than the political rights and personal privilagna of MIA black mun. Thia flip Radi? cals understand, and they hope to retain power enough in the South to make up for the power they will undoubtedly lose in the "West and North. Holding these opinions, iL is only natural that the Radicals should exert themselves to strengthen thc New England governments of the Southern States. This is the obvious meaning of the new doctrine expounded by Mr. Wendell Phillips-absolute social and political equality, and one thousand dollars and forty acres of land for every adult black man. The Radicals in tlie South have failed to give the negroes the famous "forty acres "and a mule," and now the arch-Radical proposes to do better and give one thousand dollars in currency as well as the tract of land. This is the most audacious bid ever made for thc Southern ucgro vote. And thc Radicals in this new game will have some Strong supporters. The colored senator from Mi*?i?sipp? demands ixjual social and senatorial privileges-whatever that may mean; and hore in South Carolina tiie House of Representatives pass a bill inten? ded to give the negroes tho right to seat them? selves by the side of the whites in every li? censed place of business or amusement This, indeed, is the issue of Hie hour in South Caro? lina. Tiie New Englanders who have been leading the negroes by the nose, now dc inaud for the colored man what he does not demand for himself. They demand laws giving the colored man tlie right to ride in cars, and to visit theatres, and to murry whoever he chooses, and to go into whatever society he may please. They are not wil? ling to trust this delicate question to the good sense of the freedmen. They must make political capital or perish. This is tlie explanation of the frantic efforts of South Carolina New England to force the negro where the negro has no desire to be, and to make the white mun do what be will not do, though all the adventurers and renegades in the State fight tooth and nail against him. It is a political dodge, a party move the last shot in the Radical locker. The op? ponents of this iufamou3 Radicalism con? cede to the colored man every just right. They admit, frankly and fully, his right to vote; they concede him a full civil and po? litical equality, under the law, with the white mau. The Radicals do uo more. Yes! they do. They rob and cheat the negro, in the name of philanthropy; they impoverish the State, in the name of principle; they do their best to ruin white and black, in thc blasphemed name of progress and civiliza? tion. This'tliey do and will continuo to do, until tho honest and diligent colored men, striking hands with thc whites upon the broad platform of Equal Rights and Honest Gov? ernment, hurl these usurpers from their seats Of power and seourge Hiern out of the State. TIIEKE is no trutli whatever in thc rumor that Colonel Lathers, of New York, has been to Columbia, or any other place, in the in terestofa "Third Party" movement. Colonel Lathers is, to our knowledge, a uo-compro niis? man, whose ambition it is to die, as he has lived, a straightforward and consistent Democrat of the oki school. TUE extracts from the leading articles of the interior papers, which we print this mornin; s ow t .at the people aro a'ready on the ale -r a<:y and resolv.-d to deieat Radicalism if liberality of opbUtn and en? ergy of action can compass that cud. Thc Stinking Fund. Another attempt is making to^-tf?fraud and rob the people of the State ! A bill is before thc Senate appointing cer? tain "Commissioners of the Sinking Fund," who may sell ami convey, for and on behalf of the State, all real or personal prop? erty belonging to the Slate not devoted to educational or charitable purposes, from timo to time, in such manner and itj>o)i such terms as tiiey may deem most advan? tageous to the Slate, the proceeds of which shall be known as the sinking fund of Hie State, and applied to the extinguish ment of Hie public debt. According lo thc annual report of Comptroller-General Nangle, (one of the three proposed commissioners,) tito value of the stocks and bonds owned by the State is about two and three quarter mil? lions. Tliis amount is to he disposed of in suck manner and upon suc/i terms as they may deem most advantageous-certainly, not to the State ! One rnnior is that thc object of thc bill is to enable "the three commissioners" to trans? fer Hie slock of tile Greenville nnd Colum? bia Railroad, owned by Ihe Stale, to Hie ex Bluc Ridge King, now manipulating the affairs of thc Greenville Road. Another report is that thc bill will "bull" up thc State stocks and bunds, now rather weak iii the knees, despite thc efforts of the Sonth Caro? lina banking house of Scott, Kimpton it Co. Strange lo say, the senators have little con? fidence in the disinterestedness of thc com? missioners who hold (his new financial lever. Cain said, truly enough, that if these men were to have all this money in their power another bill would have to be introduced to guard thu three men : and we had rather trust a colored man like Rainer, after all, than the carpel-bag trio to whom it is de? sired to give Hie absolute control and man? agement of all the property, real and per? sonal, of the Stale. Tile Rural Carolinian for February. In a few short months the Kural Carolinian has, by its attractive appearance and varied contents of never failing merit, become a stan.?ard agricultural magasine, and is this day as anxiously looked for and attentively perused by its thousands of readers as if it had beeu published for a century. Its devotion to the practical aral scicntiSc development ol Southern agriculture give it a peculiar charac? ter and value, not only to the people of thc South, whom lt more immediately effects, but also to Northerners and Europeans, to whom the South is a sort, of China or Japan, but re? cently opened to their investigation. Thc number now beb re us ia a splendid Illustra? tion of what brains and enterprise can do when aided by the sympathy and interest of our entire people. With sixty-eight pages of reading matter (four more (han the usual number.) it has not an arl ?de in it that would not please the most practical farmer, and yet lhere is much to entertain and instruct the general reader. The illustrations are useful as well as ornamental, and the likeness of I)e Lesseps is worthy of being preserved ns a life? like representation of a great man, the moving spirit of a wonderful achievement. The typo? graphical execution is superb, and the publica* lion, as a whole, is one of which our regency ted South may well leel proud.

SORGO SUGAR AND REFINED SYRUP. Wc would Invite thc attention of Planters to Uieconsideration or some or the advantages In the cultivation of SORGO as a Crop, which are, Hie small amount of labor; thc hardy character of the plant in Its ability to endure, without ma? terial injury, both drought and wet; its freedom rrom thc attack or worms; Its carly maturing, and thc fact that thc Seed and every part of the plant is of great value. In consequence of the imperfect method hitherto adopted In preparing the Juice of this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belier that Sugar could not bc produced, but only a very mrerinr Syrup. But, by the discovery or the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed In the minds or all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups of the Refineries, ls pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make it without i h iniji.
