constitution-making power given to the Senate ls
taken from it; third, thc constitution can only bc

-The Scientific American gives an account of
the manufacture of perfumery in Southern
France, and the cultivation of flowers for that
purpose, the latter bnsiness being much more ex?
tensive than might at first be supposed. 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.

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.

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.

$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.
