When, in thc first place, English Journals of strong conservative tendencies praised thc bill, this was the result expected. No measure In the nature of a compromise will be acceptable to the Irish people. Hence his success in dealing with the problem lie bas undertaken is a little more than doubtful, and a combination of the Conserv? ative with the Irish party may yet place him in a , minority this session-startling as that phenome? non would be to the Liberal party. -The Rome Courier states that there was never a better stand or -wheat In North Georgia and Alabama, at this season or the year, than there is now, aud that fully the usual amount has beeu sown upon better prepared land than ia rormer years.

On ' . Monday the French Theatre Opera Bourre mana- 1 gera took money from thc people and furnished no performance, the actors refusing to play be? cause they had not received their pay. Last night Max Maretzek Issued his proclamation suspend? ing the Italian opera for the season, because it 1 ?was not supported. This evening, when the peo- ' pie went to seek an hour's recreation at Tamma- ] ny, the doors were closed, the actors standing In groups excitedly discussing the state or affairs. The Tact that three lame theatres have been com pelie;i to close their doors In one week, owing to 1 a want of patronage, is regarded as evidence that 1 our mercantile community do not reel lu a very .happy mood just now." . -Speaking or the business prospect, a New York correspondent writes: "It ls yet rather ' early for the spring trade, but I understand that 1 some hoa?es are already quite busy. Business men are disposed to view the prospect hopefully. They do not anticipate many more failures, but they, exercise a good deal of caution in selling-a thing-they might have done with profit several year* ago. Houses lu the Southern trade ere most confident. The trade or that section was I good last year, and Ls expected to be better this, i Western trade was not good, and though a ralr amount is looked tor this season, no extravagant anticipations In that direction are Indulged in. ' The home trade will probably be about the same 1 :*sinissfl. There is no tightness or money com? plained of, and yet money ts very scarce among the middle classes. It would be easier to pass a reconstruction bill through Congress than to col? lect a dry goods bill :n New York at this moment. ThK of course, is embarrassing to the retail men, and keeps many of them in tight places." -Dr. Snow, the able medical registrar of Provi? dence, commenting upon the excessive mortality of children under 5 years of age (who, as most of , our readers probably know, constitute on an aver? age more than half of the total death hst,) after atating that "summer complaints" arc charged with more mischief than ls their exclusive due, and that lung rever, convulsions, and congestive diseases of the brain ami other organs, "destroy far more children than citolera infantum and diarrLoa,'' describes one potent lethal agency lu the following paragraph, which wc urgently commend to Ute attention' of rashionablc mothers: "The truth is, thc enter cause of infantile mortality is not more the weather, or foul air, than the ignoiance and false pride of the mothers. Childrm are silled by the manner in which they are diessed, and by the rood that is given them, as much as by any other C iuscs. infants of the mos- tender age, in our chanjeablc and rough climate, are lea with bare arms and legs,and witli low-nc'c dresses. The mothers in the same dress would shiver and satTcr with cold, and expect a Ut of sickness as tho result of their oulpable carelessness. And yet the mothers could endure such a treatment with far.less danger to the health and lite than their tender infants." By this exposure of the extremities, in which the circulation is always less active than in parts nearer thc heart, not only is an undue amount of animal linat lost by radiation, but the blood is driven In excess to internal organs, orten with the most disastrous results. The General Assembly Adjourns : At length the Legislature has done an act which we may safely say the people, without regard to party or complexion, will, with one voice, heartily commend. That august body has adjourned sine (He. "When wc thitik of the men who, upon the comfortable allowance of six dollars a day, might have fought it out on tiie legislative linc all the spring and summer, wc cannot but feel pro? foundly grateful to the leaders who had the decency to proposo, the firmness to urge, and the influence to carry the adjournment. The taxpayers of the State, one and all, will breathe more freely now that the Gene? ral Assembly is no more. The Three Black Crows-A Talc of Woe. In March last the Legislature appointed a committee to investigate tho condition of affairs that existed in the Third Congres? sional District at the time or the general elections, in November, 1S6S. This commit? tee now submit their report, to which are tacked seven hundred and eighteen mortal page3 of testimony given by the witnesses who were examined. Tiie public cannot, of course, analyze the evidence, discover tlie relative trustworthiness of the several wit? nesses, or expose the amurirtgly inconse? quential manner in which the committee de? clare that two and two make Ave. The re? port it3elf is euough to show that the whole job has been a curious compound of igno? rance, malice, political heat and party pre? judice. The names of the committee are Joseph Crews, white; J. J. Wright, colored; Smalls, colored; Elliott, colored; McIntyre, white, and Bryant, white; the last named being a Democrat. Crews is too notorious a charac? ter to need sketching here. Wright, when appointed, was a senator, and is now a Judge of the Supreme Court. Smalls is tho col? ored man who ran away with the steamer Planter during the war. Elliott is a leading Radical negro from Massachusetts and thc Assistant Adjutant-General of the State. Their report covers twenty-two closely print? ed pages, and is divided into chapters, whose heads, which we reproduce, afford a fair sample of thc style and spirit of the work; I. Kiiled by unknown parties. Lt The colored people law-abiding citizens. JU. Iv. K. K. IV. Associate Justice Roge in a place where he did not feel like lighting. V. A white man aU'rald of being killed ll he voted in Newberry, and another dare not accept a situation for lear ol' being shot. VI. Thc plans devised to carry the elections for the Democrats. VII. Thc murderers of the Hon. B. F. Randolph. VIII. Martin's murderers-conversation heard by a woman. IX. Was Joe Davis one of Marlin's murderers. K. K. K. XI. One of the KIu-Klux reveals a secret. XII. Whipped for smartness. These chapter headings will serve to show the natura 01' the romancing by which the committee bolster up thc conclusion of their report, which is giveu ia the following para? graph: "We have referred to a sufficient number of* witnesses to show that there was a party ex? isting in tlie Third Congressional District, thor? oughly organized, for the sole purpose of de? feating the real object of the Reconstruction acts of the United States Congress; that their plans were well digested and thoroughly tar? ried out. We have spoken of a thoroughly organized party. We icier to the Democratic party, which party had an offspring, known as lae Ku-Klux-Klan, to carry out the real objects ind Intentions of that party, which are to out? rage, intimidate, murder and drive out of the State a sufficient number of white and colored Reoublicans, so that they may come into power." Going alittlo deeper into the tragic depths of the committee's revelations, it is found that "it was the intention of many of the "leading Democrats in Newberry County to "dispense with leading Republicans at all "hazards." 0: coarse it was. They were iletermined to dispense with them, just as the honest citizens in the State, white and black, intend to "dispeuse with leading Re? publicans" next fall, because these "lead "ing Republicans" have done their best to ruin our State. The committee say that in Newberry "a white man dared not vote "either way," which is a rather singular ?tatement in view of the large white vote polled at every election. And the committee idd that "it was 3aid that if he (the white "man) voted the Democratic ticket, it would "be because he was afraid to vote the Re? publican," and "his life would have been "in danger had he voted the Republican "ticket." The committee declare, in fact, that in Newberry the intimidation, on tlie part of the Democrats, was so great, that no Republican could safely vote any other than the Democratic ticket; and in the very lace of this they say that the white men "dared not vote" the Democratic ticket. Way? Because "he was afraid to vote the "Republican." And, according to tlie com? mittee, the one aim and object of the "dia "bolical schemes" of the Democrats was to make men afraid to vote with the Republi? cans. A pretty cock-and-bull sjiory ! Abbeville, as might have been expected, is set down as a dark and bloody ground, where there was "a more thorough system 'of intimidation organized than in New "berry." The committee, we notice, are a little reckless in their use of adjectives. For instance, in Newberry "every scheme that "could be invented was resorted to, that the "Republicans might be kept from voting This is pretty comprehensive; but in Abbe? ville "thc system of intimidation was a per "fcct system," which would lead one to sup? pose that thc Abbeville people had resorted to some scheme "that could not be in? dented." Let that pass. Abbeville was perfect. But lo ! we now come to Ander? son, "where the system of intimidation was "evidently more thoroughly organized than "in the former counties." 'Ere's richness. Abbeville was perfect, and Newberry had every scheme that could be invented; but Anderson is more thoroughly organized than either. But when we reach Edgcfield we sup full of horrors; for "in this county it "appeared to have been tho fixed, positive "and firm determination to get rid of all "leading Republicans." This is the sort of stud" for which the State pays "Judge" Wriglit.nnd "General" Elliott, and Represen? tative Crews ten thousand dollars. Now for a catalogue of bloody murders. Ia Newberry there were lawless men, "occa 'sionally shooting down a colored man," and .a/7 the Republicans murdered in this oonn ty" were leading Republicans. Besides this, '.all the killing has been done by unknown "parties.''' And, again, that "Lhere were "many persons killed just preceding the elec "tions," the committee have no doubt. New? berry must bc set down for at least a huudred bloody murders! In Abbeville "twenty or more violent mur? ders" were committed, according to the witness. One ringleader causes "Sixty or "more shots" to be fired into a crowd of harm? less Republicans. A Republican was so badly scared that he left the county and died. Altogether, in Abbeville, the state of affairs was "unparalleled in any county "where the people voted !" According to Hie Newberry scale, at least two hundred colored corpses must be credited to Abbeville. In Anderson "scores of persons were "killed"-at least, the committee says so; and bands of men went about "threatening "and shooting persons who professed Repub? lican sentiments." More than this, "many "lost their lives, as many have never been "heard of since the election." Thero was ai30 "much firing of pistols and guns," which must have hurt somebody. Anderson must be set down for at least five hundred .deeds of blood." Eugefield come3 next, "a county notorious "for crime," where "hundredsof coloredmen 'would have been murdered on the evening "previous to and the day of election." As there was no election, perhaps no more than two hundred Republicans were sent to san? guinary graves. At the very lowest calculation, there must have been at least a thousand cold-blooded murders at the time of the elections, if there is any truth ia the report of the committee. They examined, in all, more than three hun? dred witnesses, and spent ten thousand dol? lars. And yet, witli all their desire to strengthen the party, and to make the worst of everything and everybody, they do not, and cannot, prove that six Republicans or Democrats were killed IN THE WHOLI COXT.RBSSIONAL DISTRICT during thc pe? riod covered by their investigation. This is the actual result of all thc talk about tho K. K. K., with their drawn daggers, and naked swords, and winding sheets, and ani mated skeletons. The committee would lead the public to suppose that at least one thousand Republicans were butchered, though they cannot prove that even a half] dozen lost their lives for political or any other reasons. We protest against this way of spending the money of the people. There is not a decent white man or colored man in the State who will be deceived by Joe Crews and his committee. There is no Presiden? tial election at hand. And If the object bc merely to get up sensational literature for the edification of unsophisticated Republi? cans, we would mildly suggest that one hun? dred dollars invested in Beadle's Dime Nov? els would supply more blood and brains, and quite as much truth, ?is eau lie found in the "ten thousand dollar" job of the famous smelling committee. Ix examining the list of those who voted for the resolution of censure, which the 'House of Representatives last week unani? mously passed, in regard to AVhittemore, we notice that the name of the Honorable Christopher Columbus Bowen does not ap? pear. H?ge, too, who as a member of the committee signed the report for expulsion, is among the missing. Is this delicacy, or is it conscience? No? body had credited these honorable repre? sentatives with a spark of either. THESE arc sensible words from the Cheraw Democrat : "If the present decline In the price of cotton will have the efleet of oausing tho planters to plant more corn, it will be fortunate for the country. We doubt the prosperity of any farmer who has his bread to buy at any price. Certain it is that the price of cotton ls too pre? carious that a man should expend all the labor of a year, relying upon it alone for the year's supply of breadslufls. We have not heard of | any one yet who, if he can eat cotton seed himself, will be willing to teed his family, or even attempt to fatten his stock on it. The old rule of making sure of bread and then planting whatever else the farmer might choose is decidedly thc best, and it will have a great effect in bringing up tho price of cotton, too.
