Orange blossoms seem to be in thc greatest demand, there being seven hundred and thirty-seven tons of that material worked np Into odors annually Roses come next in popular favor, or which there are used two hundred and sixty-five tons yearly; then of Jessamine fifty tons, of violets thirty seven tons, and of geranium leaves fifteen tons The scent of daffodils is among thc least popular, two tons and a hair of that blossom being nlj that thc fashionable nose will inhale. -The Philadelphia Star says: "Dr. Hewson, a well known physician of this city, and an advo cate of 'the dry earth treatment of wounds,' con? cerning whlcii there was such a lively discussion some months ago, has continued this method of treating wounds with very favorable results. In a late medical journal he cites* a case of compcund fracture o? t.hc leg, the limb being kept at rest by means of sand bags. In the absence of these, dry cari h was substituted, which had the effect of cn tlrrty dispelling the offensive odor of thc wound, anti their use was continued with the mO?t happy results; tue earth was chanced every three or fonrdays. Again he states, that a man affected with scurvy, which had resisted all other treat? ment, was entirely cured by being buried up to thc neck in soil for about twenty minutes." -The"expiration of thc Bessemer patent has so greatly lessened the eost of steel, that it is super? seding iron on many or the railroads In thlscoun try. it Ls Tar more durable than Iron; and much better suited on that account to roads with heavy lines or freight and travel. But at the same time it is much more brittle in cold weather, and ha?, for Ahls reason, been the canse of fr?quent accl denis-at the North. The difficulty has been obvi? ated to some extent byplaciug-a steel cap over the Iron rall. The superior safety, as wcR as com? fort in travelling, over the Southern lines in win? ter^ a generally admitted Tact Unfortunately" we have no lines to compete with those of tho North for the trade and travel of the West at pre? sent. But, when they are completed, such con? siderations will be the feather that will turu the ?ale in! par ra vor, other things being equal. -S?ss Kate Field, discoursing or female em? ployments and the "unfeminine," says "that ten yean ago every female human being tailor than an infant, that wore a round hat, was considered unfeminine. Now, round hats are poised on the most fashionable noses, at an augie that would drive Euclid wiid. Lecturing to-day occupies the position formerly accorded to thc round bats. Ten yens hence, society will draw the line ?un feminine,' say a: women who, having too much h?hest pride to hang as burdens about the necks of their Mends or relatives, talc up active busi? ness and dare to make as much money os their brothers. Evidently society would go to pieces did it not tnshs: upon drawing a line somewhere. To my conscience lt u vastly moro unfeminine to be guilty of thc grecian bend, to enamel, to make conquests of men merely for the sake or conn ting scalps, to indulge in slander, to dress extrava? gantly, to sit lathe parlor, and allow tho cook to overdo or underdo everything edible in the kitch? en, to feed child rea on pastry and hot bread, to consign little ones to incompetent nurses-than lt is to lecture." -The New York World of Saturday says : "Thc colored citizens of the city yesterday commemo? rated the passage of the Fifteenth amendment hy a procession and other festivities. The Fifi h avenue and several other of the most public thoroughfares presented the curious spectacle ot thousands of well-dressed negroes riding in coaches driven by white coachmen, walking in platoon; preceded by the best martial bands that could be secured, and figuring In the purely ornamental and picturesque capacity of grand St irsh.iU and dashing about on spirited torses aa aides. The spectators seemed to re gara it as & monster minstrel entertainment, in which all thc traditional 'Dandy Jims' and 'Dan Tuckers' were stepping high to lively mn sic. Pompey rarely, if ever, exhibited more pomp; but it ls only just to add that he seemed quite satisfied with demonstrating his ability to get up astnunlng procession as well as thc white folks, and weut beamingly and peacefully through with lils little sport, to his otra Infinite satisfac? tion and thc serious disturbance or nobody else, if the Fifteenth amendment is to saddle tu with a new order of street display, we may congratu? late ourselves that it is at least harmless and amusing." -Th?.re seems to be a disposition on thc part or Great Britain tu reconcile as speedily ai possible the differences with our government growing out or ibe vexed question or the Alabama claims. Everything that has occurred since Grant's acces? sion to power, In thc way of diplomatic discussion of the subject, shows a very great anxiety on the part of her Majesty's Government to arrive at a satisfactory adjustment. Lord Clarendon, in I1I3 correspondence with Ministers Motley and Thorn? ton, evinces a strong desire to have negotiations reopened^ and to have the claims disposed of .finally in some way or other which would not be dishonorable to either of the great powers. Clar? endon, however, does not like to make the first positive move, and Secretary Fish docs not Intend to make an advance quite yet, but will adhere to thc views expressed in his dispatch of Septem? ber 25. "Although thc United States are anxious for a settlement on a liberal and comprehensive basis or all thc questions which now luterrere with the entirely cordial relations which they de? sire to exist between the two governments, they do not now propose or desire to set any time for this settlement. They will, however, be ready, whenever her Majesty's Government shall think thc proper Hmo has come for a renewed negotia? tion, to entertain any propositions which that government shall think proper to present, and to apply to such propositions their earnest and sin? cere wishes and endeavors for a solution honora? ble and satisfactory to both countries." It ls now Intimated that Clarendon well comprehends ' the situation," and will soon offer some basis of set? tlement. Premier Fish is also giving the matter bis most serious attention, and it ls said the sub? ject will be laid before thc cabinet early in the present week. Thc ?feed of Retrenchment and Reform. A day or two before the adjournment of the State Legislature on the first of March last, Senator Leslie, who ia nothing if not a Radical, made a vigorous attack upon the State Government, and declared that "the 'Appropriation Bill alone, if any one would "criticise it truthfully and show it up as it "should be done, would damn every one" of the leaders of thc Radical party. How far even the amounts set down in an Appropri tiou Bill will cover the expenses of a year, none but a Radical official can know. In some cases, however, a wink is as good as a nod, and as Senator Leslie said, without con tradiction, that the cost of the legislative session would bc at least two hundred thou sand dollars, and the appropriation for the purpose was just one hundred and forty thousand dollars, it is only reasonable to look for a large deficiency in that quarter, and, also, in other directions. Indeed, the Appropriation Bill hints that something of the sort may be expected, and provides twenty thousand dollars to meet the de? ficiency in the appropriation for legislative purposes in the preceding year. But it may not be right to assume beforehand that the dill'eieut departments will spend more than is authorized by law, and a plain compari? son of what is granted this year with what was granted for tho year 1S67 must be fair, and will certainly be interesting. The whole expenses (according to the Ap? propriation Bill) of the year 18C7, wero $314,580, against (exclusive of interest) $721,169 for the year now current. This is a good beginniug, and a comparative table will best sliow where the enormous increase has been : SALAMES. 1867. 1870. Governor.$ 3,500 $ 3,500 " Secretary. 1.200 2,000 Secretary of State. 500 3,000 " Clerks and Index - .. 3,000 Adjutant-General. 2,500 Ass't Adjutant-General. 1,500 Comptroller-General. 2,500 3,000 " Cicrk 1,000 Treasurer. 3,200 2,500 " Clerks. 3,600 Auditor. 2,500 " Clerk...:. 1,000 Superintend't of Education .. 2,500 " Clerk. 800 Chief Constable. 1,500 Chief Justice. 3,500 4.000 Associate Justices. 7,000 Circuit Judges. 30,000 23,000 Solicitors. 1,500 8,000 Attorney-General. 1,100 3.000 " Clerk.:. .. 1,000 Clerk of Supreme Court.. 800 1.500 Super't of Penitentiary. 2?000 Health Officers. 3,900 County Auditors. 31,500 Code Commissioners. 10,500 County School Com'rs_ .. 31,500 Laud Commissioner. 2.000 550,800 $167,800 Under this one head of salaries, the gross payments are .swollen from $50,S00 to $167,S0O-more than trebled in three years, This is the ccst of the new offices, high and low, which have been created since the in coming of reconstruction. CONTINGENT FUNDS. 1S67. 1870. The Governor.$25,000 $25,000 Others officers. 9,300 $25,000 $34,300 The taxpayers will notice that every de? partment, from tho Adjutant-General's office to that of the State Constable, has its own ndependent contingent fund. 1 EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES. 1867. 1870. Penitentiary.. .. $ 80,ooo Lunatic Asylum. 10,000 University Buildings. 10,000 New State House. 30.000 Governor's Mansion. 5,000 Vault for Comptroller. 5,ooo $140,000 We cheerfully admit that tho University buildings must be kept from tumbling down, and that, tba Penitentiary should not go to rum: but tn the present condition ol' the State, what can justify an expenditure of Sli.OCO for building and repairs, including $5000 for thc comfort and convenience of Iiis Excellency Governor Scott? LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES. 1867. 1870. Legislative session, inclu? ding permanent print inS---.$43,000 $125,000 Deficiency in l?C9. 19,790 $43,000 $144,790 This is what Senator Leslie hinted at. Thc whole cost of the Legislature for 1867 was estimated at $43,000. Its cost in 1870 is set down at $125,000. EDUCATIONAL AND MILITARY. 1867. 1870. Free Schools.$25,000 $ 50,000 University.1L000 2?.000 Militia. 50,000 $36,000 $125,000 The stile nt tliis time is in a condition of profound peace; yet it is proposed to spend $50,000 for organizing the militia. Thc whole of this large amount might have been saved to the people. Bringing together the expenditures under the different heads, we have: St/MMARY. 1867. 1870. Salaries.$ 50,800 $167,800 Contingent Funds. 25,000 34,000 Extraordinary Expenses .. 140,000 Legislative Expenses.... 43,000 144,700 Education and Militia... 36,000 125,000 Total.$154,800 $611,830 Put in another shape, thc estimated gene? ral expenses for the year 1870 are more than four times a3 much as the estimated ex? penses for 1867. Where S150.000 was suf? ficient three years ago, more than S600,000 is now drained from the pockets of the peo? ple. Well might Senator Leslie fear tho effect upon the people of an exposure of this monstrous extravagance. It may not dis? patch to Hades, as Mr. Leslie thoughtfully suggests, all the leaders of his party, but it is enough to convince the people of the ab? solute necessity of RETRENCHMENT and RE? FORM. And these they can only obtain through the victory, at the poll3 in October, of the CITIZENS' REFORM PARTY. The "Party of Reform. The Greenville Enterprise does not object to the resolutions of the Press Conference as far as they go, but thinks that some distinct measures of reform and progress might have been proposed. There may be time for this, it suggests, at the meeting of the June Con? vention, and it advises that the following amendments to the State Constitution be proposed: 1. That any public oflicer who accepts a bribe shall be disqualified, forever thereaf? ter, from holding office in the State. 2. That persons convicted of offences which arc felonies at common law, be disfranchised and disqualified from holding office, and that these disqualifications shall not be remova? ble by the Governor. 3. That members of the Legislature shall be ineligible for five years to any new office created during their term of service in the Legislature. 4. That the Governor should not have the power to appoint county officers, whose elec? tion, in all cases, should be by the people. The Enterprise thinks that there should also be a distinct approval of the really good changes made in the constitution and laws since reconstruction, and a decided condem? nation of acts which are oppressive and in? jurious. It also says that the repeal of "Ute "Code of Procedure" should bc considered, and should be pressed upon the attention of the people. Our contemporary beiieves that such measures as these would enlist the ma? jority of the voters of the State in the great CITIZENS' REFORM movemcut. We may re? mark, however, that tho convention itself must determine, whether it will propose anx thing moro than the election of honest men, or the broad platform of Retrenchment and Equul Rights. A simple statement of a plain fact is, in a popular canvass, Ute most effective weapon of attaek and defence. THE Barnwell Journal suggests that a convention be held in Barnwell on May 14th for thc purpose of nominating delegates to the CITIZENS' RBKORM PARTY Convention, which meets in Columbia on June 15. It suggests that the citizens of each school dis? trict send ONE WHITE and ONE COLORED del? egate to the county convention. Tho work goes bravely on. PRESIDENT GRANT adheres to his deter? mination to recommend the passage of a Universal Amnesty bill, but some of the bitter-end Radicals are working hard to dis? suade him from taking so just and wise a step. " Mr. Grant is requested "to stick." Tns New England and Pennsylvania nigh Tariff men have agreed to admit cotton ma? chinery free of duty, so ai to secure the car? pet-bag vote for the Tariff bill. We are thankful for small favors, and will ask more the next time-and get it ! I.utcr News from Cuba, Tho Cuban Junta in this city have advices from Key West and Cuba dated April 8, which make no mention of the collapse of the revolu? tion reported in Havana telegrams of the previous day. The Junta are officially ad? vised that Jordan 'has made a junction with Agramonto, and, with acomblned force, o? 17S2 men of all arms, is moving in search of Val maseda. This general has a force of about 4500 men, and a li rely engagement ls looked for. Thc Junta believe that the Havana dis? patches announcing the "crushing out of the "rebellion" are only the forerunners of another glorious victory. Agencies. VERTISING AGENCY.
