Uplands Hall jd. -A Western Governor assured the Legisla? ture, in a late message, that "capital, like water, would always seek its highest level." -Bishop Thompson, of the Methodist Epis? copal Church, died in WheeUng on Monday morning. -The Cincinnati Times says that L. C. Hop? kins A Co., the grreat dry goods merchants of thcl city, spend $4600 a day for advertising, and clear double that amount. -Union Square, New York City, has a popu? lation of about two thousand sparrows. Cen? tral Park, New York City, gives lodgings and house room to perhaps twice that number. -Nearly aU of the fashionable spring bon? nets have lace to fall over the back hair, and the ribbon strings are tied in a bow under it. The lace strings are often clasped by a rosette In front. -The attorney-general of the State of Flori? da 1ms given an - opinion that the alleged forged statute on file in the office of the secre retary of State, entitled "An act to authorize the Governor to ask lor and receive the agricultural land scrip from the United States,'' and purporting to have passed the Legislature at the session Just adjourned, is not a law. -An official table prepared at the Treasury Department shows that the public debt ol the United States could be canceUed by a sinking fund capital of twenty-five miUions a year in twenty-three and a half years. At the rate of fifty millions a year, in fifteen and a half years, and at the rate of a hundred ralliions a year, ig nine and a halt years-the Interest to be sLx per cent, payable semi-annually. -A neat little trick is being perpetrated on the New York public by the directors of the Pneumatic Tunnel. The innocents visiting the work ore requested before returning to upper air to register their names In a book, a request already complied with by set-oral thousands* The ami pages of the book contain a petition to the Legislature in its favor, and of course the names of all visitors will be laid before I ethat body as enthusiastic endorsers of the en- I terprise. This neat little trick ls one worthy | the best minds ever produced by the State ot , Massachusetts, j -Thomas D. Carr was executed at St. Clair- , .ville, Ohio, last Thursday afternoon, for thc murder of Louisa C. Fox, near St. Clairville, In January, 1869. Carr was cool and collected throughout, but the recklessness which char? acterized his conduct during the trial had en? tirely disappeared. By his own confession, he ls believed to have been the greatest murderer ever born in this or any other country. He acknowledged having perpetrated fourteen cold-blooded murders and matSffive unsuccess? ful attempts to take life before tho killing of Miss Fox. HIB execution created great ex? citement. -A New York telegram says: The report in 1 general circulation that Dennis, Perkins 1 & Co., cotton dealers. No. 65 Broad street had 1 failed, is denied. It is understood that it grew I out of the difficulty experienced in the settle? ment of some margins on contracts for future ; delivery. Thc members of the firm say the ? amounts are small; that their general business i is not affected, and the difficulty will probably be amicably arranged. The report, however, caused a very uneasy feeling, especially among parties holding contracts for future delivery. 1 There was a general calling up of additional 1 margins, which may precipitate faUures among ' bear operators in tne cotton market. An enor- 1 ?Sous amount of cotton was sold ?hort for < iuture delivery, both herc and in Liverpool, at ( about the lowest point reached on the late | break in gold. 8ome of these contracts have i been covered; but a very large amount of cot- ; ton has to be delivered during the next two . months, and at low figures compared with cur? rent quotations. -The clerks engaged in. overhauling thc ac? counts of the fugitive ex-Collector Bailey, of New York, have found that the various sums recorded as "uncollected" already reach i $160.000. The examination, however, will not i disclose the' fuU amount of the fraud, for, as | shown by the statement of Bailey's deputy, a ? large share of the funds stolen by the ex-ccl- , lector was never entered upon any account. The nnasseased penalties were pocketed by Bailey, and, in addition to his raids on the Uquor dealers, he levied tribute on boot and ' shoe dealers, clothiers, green grocers and 1 Others, compelling them to pay him whatever 1 sums he desired. His blackmailing operations I extende d even as far as Cincinnati. A short t time ago he seized, on its arrival, a t large quantity ot spirits consigned to New ( York by a Cincinnati firm. A few days , later the firm received a letter from Bal- ? ley himself, recommending them to employ a certain law firm to attend to the matter. The ' reply of the firm WAS more significant than 1 polite. It is a model of laconic writing: "To 1 Joshua F. Bailey, Collector, N. Y.: SUN-Go to 1 h-li; we won't bc blackmailed V So far as 1 appears on the surface, active search is practl- 1 cally abandoned, and unless Bailey ls betrayed i cr voluntary surrenders himself, it seems more < than probable that be will not be seen again. \ There appears to be no end to the number of cases which he compromised, the result of j these compromises being cheating the govern? ment out of its proper dues, and putting in his own pockets the sums extorted from his vic? tims., -Particulars of the extraordinary phenom- ' enon ol' thc sinking of St. John harbor are 1 given in the New Brunswick papers. It appears that on the morning of the 17th instant, a st ange noise was heard similar to that accom? panying an earthquake. As Its . rumbling ceased, many were roused from their beds, and on going down to the harbor, found that a startling change had taken place in the ap? pearance of the land and wharves. The ti le was nearly down, and, though it was quite dark, it could be seen that the old ferry land? ing, which should be several fcot above water, had vanished. Coram's wharf bad nearly dis? appeared. One part of the wharf had been filled with deals. This portion did not break down as though the bottom on which it rested had been washed out, as at first supposed, but a piece about twenty by seventy feet broke off and settled squarely down in thc water, and thc whole mass, with the top of the wharf beneath and the deals remaining upon it, floated away into the harbor, where it was afterwards picked up. Near where the portion of the wharf settled away, or where a moderately-sized vessel used to ground at low water, there ls now between six and seven fathoms at low tide. As the tides rise and fall about thirty feet in St. John harbor, it may bc inferred that the bottom sunk as much as nine or ten fathoms. It was thought before soundings were made, and the falling tide revealed the extent of the changes made, that the "slide" was caused by the shifting of sand which had washed over tho bar, but that theory is now exploded, and tbe fact fully established that tho phenomenon was caused by some subterranean action be? neath the spot affected so materially. A MlglUy Political Change. A handful of migratory politicians-of the class which would suspect the honesty of its grandmother, if that venerable dame dared to shake her umbrella at "the party"-insist that white is black and black is white, and that the white citizens of South Carolina cannot possibly be in earnest in their frank, though somewhat sudden, recognition of the civil and political rights of the colored peo? ple of the State. These same estimable in? dividuals, with groans and lamentations and secret rejoicing, have abused the Soutli year by year, because it did not, in the twinkling of an eye, abandon the hates and loves of ages and admit that the Federal bullet bore with it, of necessity, the ballot of the freed? man. 'With characteristic cheek they pitched into the respectability which ventured to be respectable, the consislency which continued to be consistent, and the intelligence which dared to be intelligent. They condemned the South because it did jnst what, at that time, was reasonable and natural; and now abuse the people of this State because they do what is, at this time, equally reasonable and natural, and which is, moreover, the very thing they have been bitterly blamed for not doing. Every old woman of a politician in these United States knew perfectly well that the Southern people would not admit the civil and political equality of their former slaves, until they had exhausted every peaceful means of limiting their privileges to what might be indispensable to the security and comfort ?of the newly enfranchised race. Sentiment and sound sense caused the whites to strive to defeat, or delay, universal negro suffrage. As the whites of the South fought during thc war to maintain the right to gov? ern themselves, so they fought after the war to prevent absolute power from passing into the possession of inexperienced and illite? rates colorod men. But when the crisis came and the last appeal proved unavailing, the people bowed their heads and accepted the inevitable. Tt. was Lhnn thnt. ihe Southern soldiers furled their flags and stacked their amit- on the field of Appomattox. The po? litical defeat led to the poli Jeal change; as the defeats of war brought about the dis? banding of armies and unconditional sur? render. But this does not suit the poetical tinkers, who are always ready to give the new lamps of promise for the old lampsNof ilull reality. The cry of Wolf! is raised, and the men who shouted themselves hoarse in proving that the South was rebellious and unreconstructed, now vow and protest that the mighty movement against Radicalism progressing in South Carolina is nothing better than a delusion and a snare. They say that the men who strained at a gnat in 1865 surely cannot swallow a camel in 1870. It is forgotten that thc public gorge, with Lime enough for ita development, has an elasticity equalled only by that of the pondi uf a needy politician. But, as usual, the ;onduct of the few agitators is not accepta? ble to the good sense of either whites or blacks. Thc colored people would have had ?ood cause to doubt the sincerity of tho Southern whites, if these had rushed forward 5ve years ago and admitted thal their slaves yesterday were the public equals, if not Lhe superiors, of the whole white race. Such IQ admission was not expected by the freed? men. They knew, none better, the width *nd depth and lengtli of the mighty chasm which was bridged by the accomplishment Df emancipation. The coldness and recal litrancy of the whites were no more than :he freedmen expected. These knew that it would b? a never-dying torment to be thrust back into slavery when they had once been free. In time they might philosophi? cally declare that whatever is is best, but in thc beginning they would fret and pine. And to remit the freedmen to slavery wonld be a less striking change than changing the slave into a freeman, the political equal, and aften the political superior, of most of his former owners. The colored people know and understand this; the political advisers, (vho have been in counsel with them, did not, and do not, understand it. It is the very steadiness and regularity of :he revulsion in public sentiment which iroves its earnestness; and to say that-he Deople had no otbor course open to them, ind could do nothing else, is at least giving bern credit for a large supply of sense. Up :o the electfons of 18C8, there was a prospect jf change for the better; but these elections ivcre the Waterloo of. the South. There was ao alternative but to take the freedman and make the most of him, for his own sake ami for ours. The people made up their minds x> take things as they are, and in so doing ire no more Ockle and inconstant than he Kho makes of bis sword a reaping hook, or linds his snorting war-horse to wagon or jeaceful plough. It was impossible for the Southern people to be transmuted and manged with the rapidity of thc traditional Jinner, of whom it is written that, when Imrled from hi3 horse and killed, ' Betweeu thc stirrup and the ground, Ile mercy sought and mercy found." It would have been better, wc admit, if lrom the very' beginning the Southern whites liad "accepted thc situation." Had the white people of Sooth Carolina allowed themselves to be elected to office in 1868; had they gone into the Constitutional Convention ; had they taken, in the Legislature and on the bench, the seats whit h were offered them-we should not be in this bad case to-day. But these things could not be. The people were sore and smarting. And as they were living, breathing men, uot stocks or stones, they could not, with a cry of Presto ! purge all the bitterness from their hearts and consent to share with their mental and physical in? feriors thc proud dominion for centuries all their own. It could not be; and the sharp era who argue to the contrary know nothing of Southern nature, or human nature. With the political adventurers who have led the negroes by the nose, there is no sentiment but succeeding, no principle but PHTSC; and by these standards they judge men, the latchets of whose shoes they are not worthy to unloose. The colored people have a larger mind than these, and the plain truth that the whites of South Carolina have never deceived or betrayed them will weigh more heavily in the balance than all thc rhetorisa! declamation and specious argument of cut purse filcher and sharper. Tlie elections of October next will show these Radical revilers that their race is well nigh run. Carrent Literature. TUB ECLECTIC MAGAZINE. Thc April number of this magazine is one of the most interesting ever issued. The article on "Prehistoric England" fitly follows the articles on the "Early History or Man," and thc light and sparkling paper on "La Grande "Marquise" de Rambouillet is a sauce piquante to thc archaeological inquiry. The "Ottoman "Rule in Europe," the papers on "Lunar "Warmth and Stellar Heat," and on "Sacer? dotal Celibacy" and the "Greek Hcrcula "neum" will amuse the s'udent and the casual reader, and the remaining articles reach a high standard in Interest and excellence. The new department of "Foreign Literature" prom? ises to be an attractive feature. The art and scientific notes are, as usually, carefully and completely done. Mr. Fogartie, of the Book Depository In the bend of King street, ls the Charleston agent for the Eclectic. TUE NORTH BRITISH. Tho January number of this well known quarterly is somewhat heavy; but the article on "Swift" will charm the general reader, and the paper on "American States' Rights" is a clear statement of the origin of the United States Constitution, which "started into life "with a full recognition of State sovereignty "in thc Senate, and bf National sovereignty in "the House of Representatives; and the prob? lem how to harmonize the two was the leg "acy of the Federal Constitution to the Amer? ican people." Under the head of "Contem "pornry Literature," seventy-five Important publications arc carefully reviewed. This ls one of the reprints ($4 a year) of the Leonard Scott Publishing Company. Mr. John Russell, King-street, ls thc Charleston agent. Br.Aocwoon. In the March number of "Old Ebony," thc s erlals "John" and "Earl's Dene" are pressed forward, the first named rising rapidly into the higher regions of sensational Interest. A pregnant article on "White, Red, Black and "Yellow in America," is well worth reading by Northerner and Southerner, and the third part of "Thc Opening of the Suez Canal," is both sprightly and graphic. That incorrigible Tory, Cornelius O'Dowd, is in smaller force than usual. This, also, ls one of the Leonard Scott Com? pany's reprints. Mr. John Russell, Charleston agent. THE GALAXY. In the April number of this charming maga? zine, Charles Reade continues his melodra? matic novel-"Put Yourself in Ills Place'," in? troducing a touch of thc Bride of Lammer? moor business, with surprising effect. Mr. Jennings has a capital article on "Mr. Ray "mond and Journalism." Thc "Letters lrom "Havana," graceful, naive and vraimnblantes, are continued. Under thc head of "Ten Years In "Home," there is anothor dose of abuse of Ro? man Catholicism. ? Can Garibaldi be thc au? thor of these papers? They are in the same strain as "The Rule of the Monk," oncof the falsest and most scandalous stories of the day. Justin McCarthy dissects thc Empress Euge? nic, charitably of course, but with passing sharpness. Pine Plank comes next-a gloomy, but weird talc. Mr. White's history of Hamlet, and an article on the future of New York, to? gether with the miscellaneous departments, make up a capital number. We may add that a lady correspondent of "77ic Galaxy" protests indignantly against thc statement made by two brazen doctors, that "a handsome leg ls a rarity-wc had al "inostsald an impossibility-among American '.women.'' Of course the correspondent knows. EVERY SATCRDAT. In an eclectic Journal, taste and judgment arc everything, and the editors of "Every Sat. urday" have the skill which takes what Is light and thorough, and loaves what is lrothy and dull. Thu selections are admirably made, cov? ering the whole general field of literature and ?rt. The Illustrations are of a high order, far superior to those given in any other American weekly Journal. "Every Saturday" is published by Fields, Osgood & Co., at $5 a year, or ten cents a copy._ Oo Rem.
