It is difficult for Englishmen to realize the extent of the revolution in Ame? rican sentiment which this fact Indicates. The atteriy improbable case of a workingman being called to his seat in th?rHouse of Lords would not be at all parallel to that of thc negro senator from Mississippi taking his seat in the United States Senate. The event ls purely a victory of American principles over Ameri? can prejudices." -The French government have advertised jfor proposals for the supplies of American to? bacco for France in 1870, thc bids to be opened at Paris on the 12th of April. Proposals are ?mted for 1,200,000 kilogrammes Maryland, and 2,400,000 kilogrammes ohio, or say 10, 909 hhds. of 750 pounds average; 5,000,000 kilo- ' grammes Kentucky, or 7800 hhds of 1400 pounds average, and 2,000,00?i kilogrammes ' Virginia, or 3400 hhds. of 1300 pounds average.

Kentucky, and 3400 hhds.Virginia, I and it willie seen that their wants for the cur- I sent year' fali but little below those of last, ( though a very large reduction was antici pated. -Particulars of the illness and death of Hon. Anson Burlingame are given In our foreign flies of the 1st instant. On thc 16th of Feb? ruary Mr. Burlingame was present at the solemn audience given by the Emperor and Empress to him and thc other members of thc mission. The next day he paid a visit to a gallery of paintings, although feeling bilious and unwell. On the 18th he wt worse ind complained of a violent pain in .uo side. On thc 19th the doctor found that Hie lower part of the right lung was affected and thc liver and spleen enlarged. The most energetic remedies were at once app.icd to check the disease, which, however, continued to make such rapid progress that two other medical men of eminence were called in. The Em? peror also sent his own physician, but all was unavailing. His sufferings became very great, and during the five days that preceded his death he was obliged to remain in a sitting posture. His bodily sufferings appeared to be much aggravated by his mental anxiety and distress respecting the completion of his mis? sion. He spoke of it incessantly to Mrs. Bur? lingame and his son. On Tuesday, the 22d, he was quite comfortable until midnight; after this he became worse. His secretary ap. proached him; Mr. B. warmly pressed hh^hand and said, "Good-bye, Deschamps." At 4 o'clock the following morning his hands were cold; at half-past 7 he ceased to breathe. Mr. Burlingame died without a struggle, or any apparent pain, in Mrs. Burlingame's arms. His face looked so calm, composed and life? like that when laid out on the bcd It was diffi? cult to believe that he was dead. Thc Pres? Conference. A Conference of the Anti-Radical press o? South Carolina was held, as appointed, in Columbia oh "Wednesday last. The attend? ance was unexpectedly large and influential, nnd the feelings and interests of well-nigh every county in the State were represented with candor and with truth. There was no disposition on the part of any member of the Conference to withhold any information which might properly influence its delibera? tions, and we are gratified to be able to state that the whole discussion was marked by singular discretion, frankness and good sense. The result of the Conference was the introduction of the following resolutions, which were carried without a dissenting voice: 1. Resolved, That this Conference recog? nizes thc legal right of all of the citizens of the State, irrespective of color, to suffrage. 2. Resolved, That this Conference recog? nizes thc legal right of all of the citizens of the State, irrespective of color or previous con? dition, to office-subject alone to personal qualification and fitness. 3. Resolved, That in the Judgment of this Conference, a convention of the people of the State, opposed to Radicalism and in favor of good and honest government, should be held in the City ol Columbia, at some convenient Lime, for thc purpose of nominating a State ticket, which, while assuring equal and exact Justice to all, will afford some degree of securi? ty, prosperity and good government. 4. .Resolved, Tliat this Conference respect? fully suggests to the people of the State Wednesday, the 15th June ensuing, as a suit? able time for holding said convention. These resolutions embody the views and opinions of the members of the Anti-Radical press who met in council at the capital of the State. It may be said that the right of the colored man to vote is fixed and settled, ind that the right of suffrage carries with it Hie privilege of holding office. These are, sve admit, stubborn facts, but they are now for the first time recognized and affirmed, in their full force, by any Anti-Radical associa? tion. Nor do the resolutions confine them? selves to au empty acknowledgment of a patent truth. They go further. From their first word to their lost, they take the broad ground that the coming contest has no con? nection with National politics or National political parties, but is one in which all CITIZENS shall work and toil together to se? cure a capable, honest and respectable gov? ernment for Hiern and for their children. No distinction is made of class, of color, or of past political action. The equal rights of all citizens aro freely admitted, and when the proper time comes, it will be seen that this is no barren pledge, but means that every class and every color shall have its fair and honest representation in the admin? istration of the affairs of the State. HON? ESTY, INTELLIGENCE AND EQUAL RIGHTS these are the recommendations of the Press Conference, as they arc the principles of .the great CITIZENS' PABTV, as enunciated again and again in the columns of this paper. With these principles as our rallying points, and appealing in a common cause to the sense and decency of the whole State, we must, and shall, succeed in obtaining a gov? ernment under which the people of South Carolina may become, and remain, happy, p-osperous and free. Immigration-Coming to thc Point. A correspondent of the Columbia Thcpnix, in writing of the best means of attracting white immigrants to South Carolina, hits the nail on the head when he says Hint imnii gration, as now instituted, cannot bc suc? cessful for thc present generation, because the present organizations compel "every "man who wishes to procure immigrant ' labor, to understand, as well as undergo, "either all, or at leust a part of its risks, of "losses or gains. This plan is confining it "at once to the leading and intelligent minds "of the South. The immigrant should bc "placed at every man's door, so that when "he is iu need of labor-the demand for "which is constantly increasing-he can "employ him, giving to parties such a bonus "as would be remunerating for the great "convenience." While pointing out the difficulty, the P/ionix correspondent suggests a -plan by ivhich it may l?e overcome. This is de ?cribed as follow?: "That the men of South Carolina, who com? prehend fully the necessity of moving in tlii? natter, form a Joint stock company of, say HO, $20, $50 or even $100 per share. Organ ze a central or distributing bureau at some entrai point, perhaps Columbia would do, I and Rub-bureaus at each village in the State; let all arrivals first report at the central bu? reau, and be distributed according to the va? rious demands of the sub-bureaus throughout the State. Whenever an immigrant arrives, his name, agc and birthplace, as well as his trade or occupation, as well as letters of refer? ence or recommendation, should be duly re? corded for future reference. The farmer or planter applying for a laborer has only to call for thc kind of laborer, and the clerks at each bureau, by referring lo thc books, can send him the sort of persons he desires; he, the farmer or planter, paying all expenses in? curred by the bureau, as well as a bonus for expenses and profits to stockholders. There might bc an experimental farm established in the vicinity ol each bureau, where these im? migrant laborers could 'oe "'-ofitably employed until called for; and shOi any remain on hand during thc summer months, they could be directed in farm work, so as to make and harvest a full crop. Agents could bc 6ent to England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Holland, Sweden and Norway, Germany and Italy; and I am told by persons who have recently re? turned from trans-Atlantic countries, that great numbers could be procured by only securing them a home and employment. I have seen this system working admirably in Paris, in getting employment for laborers and domes? tics in every capacity; there it has proven not only a success, but of mutual benefit and profit1 to all parties. I cannot for a moment see how It could be managed in those large European cities in any other way. Someten or twelve years ago the same system was commenced in New York City. The distributing bureau for the great Northwestern Stales is Castle Gar? den in New York City. We never will suc? ceed to any extent until wc adopt the joint stock company plan, and no longer trust to tho general intelligence of the people upon this matter. Thc immigrant desires to come; give him the means; place bim at the door of | those pleading for labor; secure good labor bv references; make their contracts, and all will move on harmoniously, and South Carolina and the whole South will no longer dip their colors to haters of law, order and good gov? ernment," This plan deserves consideration, especial? ly by the State Institute and the State Agri? cultural and Mechanical Society. It is plain and apparently practicable. We confess that the scheme of the P/icenix correspon? dent is not complete in every respect. There are matters connected with the accommoda? tion of immigrant land-buyers which are not discussed. It is, however, something lo be? gin with ; something towards a mature and practical scheme for the encouragement of European immigration. From the State Government we expect no assistance. Thc work must bc done by the farmers and mer? chants ol the State. Upon them the whole burden will fall, and they will reap the ben? efit. After the redemption of the State from a corrupt and profligate rule, the work of immigration is thc most-important task that lies before us, and the sooner we begin it the better for South Carolina and the whole Southern people. .finanrial.
