He re? fereed the following inscription, in large type, on a card: "Write with a pencil." -At the municipal etectlon held in Salt I nke City on the 14th instant, the ^Sent?tes" (oppo? nents of Mormonism) ran a ticket, but the "Or? thodox" or Brigham Young ticket succeeded by a large majority. Some few women voted, but we are told by a dispatch that the authorities discoun? tenanced it. -A Missourian tried to trick an Insurance com? pany by drowning himself Immediately after taking out a polley. By dying he escaped a gr?a* disappointment, for while his application for in burauce went by mall, the news of his death was sent by telegraph, and the policy was not issued. -A newly married lady In Chicago complained to hem^that on her reception day bercard * bas&t was overrun with circulars from lawyers announcing terms for divorce.

Its population is now 12.000. -The Minnesota House of Representrtlvcs passed recently, by a vote of 33 to 13, a bul for an amendment to thc State Constitution providing tor female suffrage. The bill provides that women may vote upon the proposition, their ballots to bc received in special boxes. Several members sta? ted that although opposed to woman suffrage, they voted for the measure In order to have it submitted to the people of the State. The Senate, lt is supposed, would concur. -A resolution was offered in the Illinois Con? stitutional Convention on the 16th in favor of an article in the amended constitution to prohibit white and colored children from attending public schools, and to provide separate schools for each, and prohibit any appropriation of the taxes paid by the colored people or the State for the educa? tion of white people, and prohibit the appropria? tion or auy part of the taxes paid by the white people ror the education or colored people, and that such article be submitted separately to thc people. -Queen Victoria is the richest widow in the world. She has an income that is large enough to render any man happy at her domestic fire? side. Her-allowance from the British Govern? ment ls ?385,000, to which must be added ?25,000 from t*? ? Duchy or Lancaster, making a total or ?410,000 per annum, besides at least a dozen rent free castles, palaces and mansions. As she ac oepted a legacy of ?250,000 from Mr. Neeld (who passed over his own relations to enrich her,) as she inherited ?i,ooo,090 from Prince Albert lu 1S61, and as she has not spent a third or her allowauce since his death, it ls estimated that her Majesty's cash capital, well invested, is at least ?2,000,000. -The New York Nation, usually 60 accurate and fastidious In thc usc of language as to be a model for youthful writers, speaks editorially this week of Congress "donating millions" to rail? roads, and thinks there were people who paid off in paper daring the war debts contracted in gold, and "saved forty, fifty, or a Jiundrrd lu? cent, i i the process." Mr. Micawber's I. O. C's made about such a saving as this ; but we be lleve thc greenback was never quite worthless. The Nation also has, "When the time comes, ir it \B going to conwV'-and otherwise shows that it ls not quite infallible in matters of literary ele? gance, any more than hastily made up daily papers. -A company ha's recently been organised tor the purpose or constructing a pneumatic tube Tor the transmission of freight by means or hollow spheres. It is claimed that the products or the country can bi transported to and from all parts or the country In a rew hours instead or days, and at a trifling cost. The new vehicle requires a per feet road-bed or track on which to operate. This road-bed has been prepared by the invention or the pneumatic tube. On the bottom a metallic plate will be laid, slightly concave, to adapt it to thc convexity of the sphere. The hollow globes, in which freight is to be placed, will be propelled by the exhaustion or air rroin the other end or the tube worked by au air-pump. A3 soon as air enough is drawn out of the tube to destroy its equilibrium, the current strikes the sphere aud carries it tb its destination. Thc pressure on a sphere six feet in diameter, under a complete ex? haustion, would be about tlfty-two thousand pounds. When the spheres arc once in morion a pressure of less than one hundred pounds will propel them as rapidly as required, ll is claimed that a velocity of from one hundred and fifty to two hundred miles an hour can bc attained. The tubes can be placed over or under ground. It ls proposed to make them of wood-of narrow plauk, tongued and grooved, thc joints cemented. Is is estimated by the originator that a line or tubes, eight feet in diameter, can be built- ror about Sio.oco a mile, thc right or way not in? cluded. _ The Blue Ridge Railroad Company. Thc special committee appointed to in? vestigate into the condition and management of the Blue Bulge Railroad Company, have made their report, and its sum and sub? stance is a generous meed of praise to the presideut aud directors of the company, and a broad expression of the opinion of the committee that the road has been managed with sagacity and discretion. The commit? tee agree with the directors in their idea that it would be unwise to publish, nt this time, the full official reports of the proceedings of the company and its negotiations with the contractors. They do, however, sketch out the history of thc famous CrissveH & Co. contract, and justify the directors in first making the contract, as well as in can? celling it when the contractors failed to ful I fil their agreement. The committee assert that no contract, offering the same ndvan ages, could have boeu closed at a lower price; upon which branch of the Bubject there will still be a wide difference of opiuion. But when the directors say, without circum? locution, that they cancelled the contract be? cause the contractors could not or would not do the work; that they paid the contractors seventy-five .jusand dollars to avoid a long and tedious lawsuit; and timt they can now make contracts at a million and a half less than the price of the Crissvell contract, they are likely to have public opinion-on their side. And the feeling in their favor will be strengthened by the statement that norteHl the four million dollars of bonds guaranteed by the State have been sold, and that only a small amount is field in paxen. This is good news and plenty of it. One point is very clear, although it may seem ungenerous to direct attention to it If the road is to cost one or two millions less than the first estimate, ii' the company is to reap the benefit of a fall in the premium on gold from 3G to 19, and from 19 to par, if a new and less costly route is to be chosen, if the money of the State and the credit of the company arc to be husbanded instead of .wasted-not one iota of the credit belongs to the board of directors. The stupid failure of Cfissvcll Jc Co. has done the whole work. These much discussed individuals gave the company au opportunity of doing what ought to hav^becn done in the beginning, and it was certainly worth seventy-five thousand dollars to save one and a half million whether the seventy-five thousand was to be divided between Columbia and Pennsylvania, or to be use? in buying up the stock of the road which gives the Blue Ridge line its main outlet to the sea. The public can now form some idea of the position of the Blu<; Ridge Road. To com PjeAeJt.wilI.take.^1\vo o??ar^pr^more^^uj^ dollars in money. The public insist that the means of the compati}-, furnished it by thc State, shall be expended cautiously and honestly; but, this being once assured, it will be the general wish that thc work should go on. This seems to be the drift of popular opinion, on the coast no less than ir. the shadow of the mountain range tb rough which the Blue Ridge Road must pass. The South ur. a her Chances. In this State, for various reasons, very little has been done of late years in erecting cotton mills and factories, and our manu? facturing power is certainly no greater, and is most likely less, than it was before the war. Large factories for the marufacture of com? mercial fertilizers are in successful opera? tion ; but the ileecy cotton still travels to the North and to England, to return only when loaded down with ihe cost of carringe, insu? rance, waste, profits and commissions, added to the actual expense of spinning. Yet no one doubts tho wisdom of erecting cotton mills in South Carolina. Wistful eyes are turned to the shallows of the Columbia canal, and eager cars are opened wide to catch the first word of promise which may fall from the lips of a New England cotton prince. Nothing is done; but thc public know thut with proper management the Southern cot? ton mills could drive New England ont of the market, and they fold their hands and hoard their little means, and, like a huge family of Micawbers, wait for something to turn up. And something will turn np, sooner or later; sooner, if wc put our shoulders to the wheel; ?aler, if-trusting toan awaketvng of the commercial and speculative spirit In the minds of others-we do nothing ourselves to ripen thought into action. The brilliant promise of the South, ?13 a manufacturing country, cannot always bo hid under a bushel. Calculations made with care show that a cotton nu!l in South Carolina can make money while a similar mill in Lowell barely pays its running expenses. These arc plain, broad facts, which .ire spreading over the United States, and have even quick? ened the pulses of the spinners of Lan? cashire. The South wants no Protection. If we cannot, with c-qtial chances and Free Trade, make cotton goods as cheaply as any other country can make them, it is not to the advantage of tho South to turn from the hop to thc loom and the spinning jenny. We believe that wo ean manfacture cotton goods as cheaply in Hie South as they can be manufactured in any village in New Eng? land or Old England. If we cannot, then we will grow the i tapio while others spin and weave. At this time South Carolina, and the whole South, is hampered by want of commercial capital. This is one great trouble. We have not capital enough to handle the raw mate? rials, and cotton spun in this State is shipped direct to New York, anti is then brought back again to Charleston for sale. In thc six States of Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Vir? ginia there are but 3C national batiks, with a combined capital of $7,000,000. Charles? ton alone, before the war, had $13,000,000 of bani capital. What wonder, then, that it is only by squeezing and straining wo can hold the trade we have, without investing a dollar in machinery and bricks and mortar? There is, however, in the Southern coun? try a vast sum of money which lies idle, and does less present good to its owner, and to thc country, than its weight in brass or un? printed paper. The millions of currency sent down Sentli year by year, are still in the South ; but the money is not employed in building factories and railroads and steamships, or in widening and deepening the channels of trade. It lies hid in old corners-it is hoard? ed away. As the Indian ryot, in a state of eternal insecurity, returns his hoard of silver to the ground from which it caine in the shape of cotton and rice, so do tho Southern people hide away with zealous care the profite of each season. And this they will continue to do until they have honest and stable State Governments, until they have a free banking law, until the restrictions im? posed by Congress upon a free circulation of the curreucy are altogether removed. It is generally believed that there is now more money in South Carolina than there was ton years ago, and the hoard increases in volume ia every year. When Congress unties our hands, when we obtain an able and economical government, the gold and the greenbacks will quickly como out from their hiding places, and give us capital enough to handle all the business we can catch, and to build ali the mills we. need. But ir the change for the better be long de? layed, the miserly habit may become another nature; and then, for all that wc need of commercial means, we shall depend on the tender mercies of the speculator or foreigner. These will come when they find that money is to be made more plenteously here than elsewhere, and in making money for them? selves they must help to raise np and devel? op the whole State and the whole people. Let tbcm come, then, and the more tho merrier! THE black Senator,'Revels, still occupies a senatorial sofa, and whether ho will ever stretch his ebon legs beneath a mahogany desk, ( and snap his dusky fingers at the saucy pages, has become a question of morals. Sumner may congratulate Mrs. Revels in the gallery, and Downing give dinners in honor of the now legislative color; but all that will not suffice the stern moralists of thc Senate. They have suddenly discovered that the purity of their dignified body will be contaminated by the ad? mission of one whose past ?ecord, after indus? trious research, gives up some naughty stories of indiscretions, youthful and otherwise, and the great social and poHtlcal ice-breakor of his race ls counted out until this delicate matter ls settled. Wc have not been nscd to consider Irreproachable virtue as one ol tho necessary qualifications of a senator. The freshness of scandal has hardly yet worn off I hose stories 01'divorce obtained, of clerkships granted, and of boarding-house exposures, in which certain senators figure as thc moving cause. Indeed, what with the known general state ot society in Washington, and thc particular instances now and then mentioned, one can scarcely be? lieve the virtue of senators to bc, like their loyalty, iron-ciad. But while they are about it, lt ls rather curious that thc first victim to this newly aroused morality should bc the very negro whom the Radicals have professed to long for. So Bent.
