The ! bills for the gas furnished during thc last two years have not been settled, and the company gave notice that unless payment was made on February 1st thc gas would be turned off. The Spanish portion ol the city still uses oil lamps, and thc appearance or thc streets in that ulttrict is very gloomy. -The delegation appointed by the citizens or New Orleans on Monday night last, waited on Governor Warmouth Wednesday night, and pre? sented the resolutions adopted In relation to abases in the State Legislature. The Governor re? plied that the members of the Legislature are in? experienced, ai d that large bribes are continually offered by bank oftlcers and others to lobby bills through t^iat body, and by thc temptations ot these men thc present corruption has been caused. He declares that if the citizens will only give their support lo him and to the honest members of the Legi-dature, there will bc no difficulty in restraining Improvident legislation in future. -Thc Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette, speaking of thc wire or the black senator from Mississippi, says: "Yesterday thc lady of Senator Revels visited thc Senate cham? ber aud subsequently occupied a conspicuous sent in the ladies' gallery. She was waited upon very punctually by Senator Sumner and the Tipton Slasher. The latter is a bachelor and the lady ol the ronner ls non est. lt seems, therefore, that these honorables were pitched upon to do thc honors, as it was concluded they could do so with Impunity a3 to counter invitations. Rut this won't do. Senator Wilson and member Kelley, who have no such subterrugc, must toe the mark ir thc darkey senator bc their social equal In bacchanalian revels thc equality must be equal? ized. 'Share and share alike.' Come, gentlemen, face the music ! Depend upon it -Senator Revels will not suffer either hiinseir or his family tobe snubbed. This thing, like water, will Und its level !" -Thc Secretary or thc Treasury is not a little perplexed at the skill and facility displayed by cou:it' rfelters in imituung the national currency. The speedy and successful reproduction by them of thc new tlfty cent note suggests the importance or devising some plan by which these industrious manufacturers ?r botruscurrency may bc put hors an coni'tnt. Thc .superintendent of the Note Printing llureau has suggested, and the Secretary is considering thc following plan : To devise plates K-.th very few lines and thc plainest kind of graining, so that thc merest novice can become familiar with their appearance In a short time; to print the notes from these plates on light colored paper of a peculiar quality, and then let thc coun? terfeiters go to werk. The idea is that the least variation In thc quality or appearance of thc paper, or In the engraving, may then be at once discovered, and the moment a counterfeit makes its appearance all notes o'" the denomination tims imitated can be called iii at once, and another plaie prepared. This plan has been successfully pursued by thc Hank of England for many years. Tlic Coralng Party. _ .' y , - s We think that we may fairly claim that thc general policy sketched out by TUE NEWS, us that most likely to secure thc defeat of thc Radical officials in tho approaching can? vass, must command Hie support of the press and the sympathy of tito people uf thc State. It was not expected that our State con? temporaries would eagerly declare, in so many words, their approval of the whole platform of the coming party, as laid down by this paper. But without saying that they were ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with THE NEWS tu tito impending strife, our contemporaries have, in their own way, as? sured the people that there is only one way to success, aud that way is the adoption of a broad, liberal ami comprehensive policy, uniting tho honest of all classes and purlies in a common hostility to official and persona] corruption. This is all Hut we ask-Ulis is all that THE NEWS demands. We insist upon a full and frank recognition of the civil and political rights of the negro; we insist upon a submissiou to the inevitable necessi? ties of the political situation. And wc pro? pose to go before tho whole people, white and colored, as thc party of honest govern? ment and equal rights-as thc friends of low taxation-as the friends of Hie workingman as the supporters and advocates of indus? trial activity-as tho persistent opponents of monopolies and class legislation-as a party pledged to represent faithfully and equally the wants, rights and necessities of all classes and all conditions of mon. Thi3 is the whole platform of Tun NEWS, and we have yet to .meet with one State press which re? fuses to agree to these propositions, or which has failed, in oue way or another, to enun? ciate and defend them. Upon one subject there is, however, much difference of opinion. It seems to bc tiie conviction that it would be unwise to call the State party of thc future the DEMOCRATIC party, and that it would bc best lo style it simply a PEOPLE'S party, or Orrosmox party-auything but a RADICAL part}'. Now, for mere names, in this matter ot re? deeming the State, we do not care a jot. The principles, and not thc name of thc party ; the temper of the weapon, not the mark of the maker; will give us victory or defeat. Upou the platform laid down in these columns all good and true men should bc able to stand. And if any of our people, white or colored, are repelled byan old party name, it ls high time to choose a new name which shall have no past. The "truth is, we cannot afford to lose votes for tho sake of abstract ideas. This contest with a dishon? est government, and corrupt officials, is a business question-a question of bread and meat, of life and death. Aud we must con? duct the canvass in a practical and business? like manner. Having chosen a broad and liberal policy, we must use our weapons as best we may, turning to good account all the power and strength that justice aud fair dealing shall give us. Ttic A" Viii Amendment. The XVth Amendment to tho Constitution of the United States has been ratitled by the required number of Stales, and thc declara? tion that "the right of citizens of Hie United "States shall not be denied or abridged by "the United Slates or by any State, on ae "count of race, color, or previous condition of "servitude; and that thc Congress shall have "power to enforce this article by appropriate "legislation," will, as suon as thc Official an? nouncement is made, stand as a part of the Federal Constitution. The States which have adopted the amendment arc as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. There are thirty-seven Slates in the Union, and twenty-eight have voted for the amend? ment. Of these twenty-eight, nine are Southern reconstructed States. Another, Texas, will make ten of this kind of votes. If tiicse ten States had gone against thc amendment, as they would have done hail they ben free to choose, the required three fourths could not have been obtained. The vote of New York is counted in the vote in favor of Hie amen ciment, as the right of thal State ta reverse us action is not admitted by tbe dominant party. And. in any event, Nebraska and Texas would mure than make up the requisite number. Thc inconsistency of the reconstruction policy, as well as its unconstitutionality, need not be pointed out again in these col umus. The reconstructed States had to vote for the new constitutional amendments as a condition of restoration to the Union. If they were not in the Union, what was the value of their ratification ? If they were in thc Union, what becomes of the Validity of the reconstruction laws? But it is useless to talk of these things now. Impartial suf? frage is fastened upon the people of the United States, and the North must do what the South is doing-make the best of thc situation. We, ourselves, have no fear of the result. With Hie enfranchisement of thc slaves, the completion of "econstruclion and the ratification of thc XlVtli and XVlIi amendments, tho work of the Radical party is done. They must now take thc back scats. They ruii3t make way for thc party of honesty, of justice, of free trade, of low taxation. THE annual report of the Superintendent of Education shows that 168,819 children, between the ages of 5 and 18, are attending school in 26 counties of the State. Of the total number, 6S, 10S children are white, and 100,711 colored. There are381 schools with, 473 teachers, of whom, 105 are South Caro? linians, anti 7." are Northerners. We hope that the time will soon come when every child in the State will have within Iiis reach and means a plain, commercial education. Ignorance, rather than indolence, is the Father of all Evil. OUR Columbia correspondent points ont what seems to have been a shameless piece nf bribery on the part of a person interested in passing a bill through the House of Rep? resentatives. The respectable members of thc General Assembly owe it to themselves to put dowu these practices of "recogniz "ing," und "seeing light," which, while they last, make the whole Legislature both con? temptible and ridiculous. f^'' THE "social equality'' bill did not pass its second reading in the Senate, on Friday, and is still in the hands of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill which did pass has a similar titie, but a wholly dillerent scope. F iUisccIlnucous. DAUER MUSIC DEALER, Piano Tuner, Teacher or Vio lin, Pinte and Cuitar. Repairer of Musical 1st ru raents.

Wc would Invite thc attention of Planters to the consideration or some nf thc advantages tn the cultivation or SORGO as a Crop, which are, the small amount of labor; thc hardy character nt t he plant in lt9 ability to endure, without ma? terial injury, both drought and wet; Us freedom rrom the attack or worms; its early maturing, ?nd the fact that thc Seed and every part of the plant ls of great value. In consequence o. the Imperfect method hitherto adopted In preparing thc Juice or this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and thc helier that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very inferior Syrup.
