(vuoii orr. OWN CORRIsro:<r>EKE.l COLUJir.iA, April 12. Thc meeting ot tlic City Council, together with counsel on both sides, arrived at nothing or importance beyond thc conclusion of yesterday, to wit, that the Issue should be made not upo the fraudulent conduct of the election, but upo i the unconstitutionality or the law under which the election was held. The deliberations of to-day develop the idea that, under thc new code, thc case cannot .bc brought before thc circuit judge until the expiration of twenty days. It is con templated as early as practicable after that lapse of time to bring thc case before Judge Melton. Whatever be the decision of this court, it U un? derstood on all hands that an appeal will be taken, and the issue submitted lo the Supreme Court. Thc fact is, however, that this new code has so involved or obscured thc course of law that nobody seems fully prepared to say with certainty when or where or how the matter is to bc determined. Hence the vacueness and few? ness or points that arc sulfercd to transpire in regard to it. This is not to bs wondered at. how? ever, nor ls it a damaging fact to the bar; because the ablest of thc New York lawyers-sec Mr. O'Conor's letter upon this code-who have been present at the inauguration and development of the code in that State, find lt entirely too tough for their ready understanding of it. It appears in relation to this municipal inu?die, then, that after twenty days It is to be brought before Judge Melton, In chambers, argncd, and decided; taken by appeal before the Suprcn'e Court, argued, and decided finally. How long this* will take, depends upon the code and the wills of thc counsel. Tn G BARS WELL- DI. iCK VILLE D'JSINZSS. Jndge Melton, having returned from the court at Lexington, has announced his decision in the Barnwell-Blackville mandamus case. He has discharged the rule in the case and has dismissed the application of the relators. Opinion not yet flied. It is expected thal some other action will be instituted in the matter, either against the Secretary of State or his advisors. Apropos ot this matter, there is a rumor here that this put? ting in Barnwell Instead or Blackville Into the en? grossed act, was the result or engineering by a certain prominent colored leader or the Honse, who had a point to make and an end to serve In having the mistake made. This explana? tion is said to be put forth by one of the clerks employed In the engrossing service of the Legis? lature, who IP "menable to the charge of care? lessness, and therein of inefficiency, if it was an act of bis own. He is said to claim that the said colored leader of the House interposed after he had written Blackville, and had him to write it Barnwell, if somethlug like this were not the the case, it Ls a heavy one of carelessness against this clerk. It is expected that fnture steps In this matter before thc courts will evolve some of these behind-the-scenes doings. COKSAIK. TUE CROP OE 1870. Extraordinary Exertions of the Missis? sippi Planters-A Word to the Wise. TO THIAKI)ITOR OF THE NEWS. E.STE UPRISE, Mts.?., April 8, 1ST0. Within thc pasl forty days I have seen as much of thc State of Mississippi as can be seen rrom thc boats or railread cars: have stopped at almost every depot in the State, and conversed with planters from every section of the State; and although my notes upon thc varions topics or | inquiry will be given the public in a future num? ber of the Rural, there is one fact which I trust I may not be too late io reporting through THE NEWS for the material interest of South Carolina, and, indeed, the cotton planters of the South. That fact ls, the universal and exclusive prepara? tions made in this State tor thc approaching cot? ton crop. Everybody, almost everywhere, has given his best energies to the pitching or a eo'ton crop, and very often to thc entire exclusiou of everything else. In many places I have convers? ed with planters who cult?vate from one to two hundred acres of a crop, aud every acre has been prepared for cotton. The plautiug has begun, and with all the haste that can be given to thc hopelessly demoralized labor the crops will be planted, and of course ever.r mau hopes for a '.big crop/' If these hopes are realized there ls little doubt but the cotton crop of Mississippi wi.I. this year, be 1,000,000 bales. At every depot and every to'vn thc sacks of | com are as numerous as the haps pf fertilizers are In South Carolina or Georgia, and in many places corn in thc car, and i tv?? In .*'?- shuck, crowds the warehouses, aud this corn is brought from KentxtckyjSwouah Tennessee. And yet almost all of the lands in Mississippi, properly cultiva? ted, will produce from tl ft cen to twenty-five bushels of corn per acre, with "i'rcev cultivation. Thousands upon thousands of acres of fertile land in Mississippi have not bad a plough in them since thc wr.r, and when I've asked the planters why they did not BOW s'n-.t: irr.-.!:: r J sectre a provision crop from these otherwise waste lands, I am quietly told, "they wou't make small grain." Have you ever tried it? "No, I aili": got time," is thc invariable reply. No time to make rood j for man nor bea?:, because thc sowing pre- i vents thc picking of cotton, and the harvesting of I grain crops lets grass worry the cotton; and so I the one idea prevails, that cotton mus; bc made 1 though we break In the effort. ( Tho majority of teams, that I have seen hanlin? t this bought corn from the depots ami stores arc '. Infinitely inferior to the gcacra?tv of South Cat o- t lina teams. The labor of Mississippi ls less effec- ' live t han the ?abor or South Carolina. Thc house*, l premises, outbuildings, stables, barns anil fencing i in Mississippi are to my eye Inferior to those nt t South Carolina. Under what existing ciui.in- ] st irt ._s tue .Mississippi planter can be eneourag- t id. 1 have not been abie to discover. c These rads. Mr. Editor, ure {riven as facts, and c 'or the caution and, perhaps, beue?t of South t karolina planters. Upon those of them who have l aot sown a large small-grain crop, I would urge I the necessity of diversifying thai" crops even ut f his late day. PJaat sorg?um. po?s. corn, pota- t oes and edibles or all sorts. The cottou crup as I isole reliance ls not, in my judgment, the road l o rortuue. D. \v. A. S '-* ." - ' *- I "MASTERLY INACTIVITY." [From the Columbia Guardian.] As to the inertia style ot doing things, we v lave this to say: If South Carolina, in conven-J ion assembled,'decide that lt ls her sovereign will o fold her hands and let corruption and prosit utton of power run riot over all that is sacred r ,nd pure in her past, her present and her future, ] hen we shall see a reason to accept such a policy, t Jut il then, wc have our views. So had the Press i :onrerence. >o has the press or the State. So, ve take it, have and will have the people of South karolina. We tried the inertia idea in 1J6T and Wi. Thc csults do not satisfy us. They do not satisfy ur people. They satisfy the carpet-baggers and ?ie oillec bought scalawags of the present rgime. Howe want more of this kind or thing ! 'hen, let thc CITIZENS' Convention in June say tc. The m?mbers of the Press Conference reit that i m effort should be made to win the negro race a rom the toils of the uncrupulous adventurers a rho have bf^eii leading it like sheep to the sham- a ties; and ci thc sttue time to rescue the State rovernraent rrom its corrupt party sway. Both I ? jiesc ends were worthy. Both sought aad [ r ?ave found a respondive endorsement from mr whole people. The conference felt that ilthough the negroes have voted times and airain igainst our interest and their own, it was due to ;liem as less eu lightened to extend once more Hie alive branch of peace and reconciliation to them, in the hope thal it might be accepted. Should ii he accepted, then our whole people-white and black-will rejoice in a better State government and renewed material prosperity. Should it be rejected, the negro himseir will be to blame Tor the calamity, not we, who arc herein extending the tender or harmony. And when the day or sorrow comes to the unhappy and deluded ne Rroci.-w''cn the cap or their bitterness Ls tull to omaowhYg-when the consequences or their spuru ng our sympathy and co-operation to-dav ^Fil :S ."Wwelming confusion upon them when their day of ioom comes, as come IS will then the negroes themselves, the cand d world, and. best or all, our own conscinces. will liear witness that there ls no damned spot apyn oar POPULAR. WOMEN. [From the Saturday Review.] The three chief causes of personal popularity arc thc admiration which is excited, thc sympa? thy which is elven, or thc pleasure that can he bestowed. We put out of court for our present purpose thc popularity which accompanies pnliii cal power or intellectual strength, this being due to condition, not quality, and therefore not of the sort we mean; besides, lt belongs to men rather than to women, who seldom have any direct pow? er that can advance others, and still scldomer in? tellectual strength enough to obtain a pub ic fol? lowing, because of their confessed supremacy. The popular women we mean arc simply those met with in society, women whose natural place ls the drawingroom and whose sphere is the well-dressed world; women who are emphatically ladles, and who understand les convenances ami obey them, even if they take up a cause and practice philan? thropy, or preach philosophy. But the popular wo? man rarely does take np a cause, or make her phil? anthropy conspicuous or her philosophy audible. Partisanship implies angles, and she has no an? gles. If of thc class of the admired, she is most popular who ls least obtrusive in her claims and moRt ingenious in Ignoring her superiority. / pretty woman, however pretty, if affected, vain, or apt to give herself airs, may bc admired, but ls never popular. The men whom she snubs sneer at her In private; the women whom she eclipses as well as snubs do more than sneer; those only to whom she is gracious find her beauty a thing of joy, but as she is distractingly eclectic In lier favoritism she counts as many foes ns she has friends; and though those who dislike her cannot call her ugly, they can call her disagreeable, and do. Rut thc preity woman who wears her beau? ty to ni appearances unconsciously, never suffer? ing it to be aggressive to other women nor wil? fully employing it for the destruction of men, who ls gracious in manner and of :i pleasant temper, who is frank and approachable, and docs not seem to consider herself as something sacred and set apart from thc world because nature made her lovelier than thc rest-she ls the womau whom all unite lu admiring, the popular person par excellence of her set. The popular pretty woman is one who. take her as a young wife (and she must be married.) hon? estly loves her husband, but does out thrust her affection into the face of the world, und never flirts with him lu public. Indeed, she flirts with other men just enough to make time puss pleas? antly, and enjoys a rapid waltz or a lively conver? sation as much as when she was seventeen, and before she was appropriated. She does not think it necessary to go about morally ticketed, nor docs she (ind it necessary for lier dignity or her virtue to fence herself round with coldness or In? difference to the multitude by way 01 proving lier loyalty to one. Still, as it is notorious that she docs love ber husband, and as every one knows | that they arc perfectly contcut with each other, aud therefore not on the lookout for supplements, * thc men with whom she has those innocent little ? jokes, those transparent secrets, those animated ( conversations, that confessed friendship and good understanding, do not make mistakes, und the very women belonging to them forget to he censorious, even though she ls so much admired. She is a mother, too, , and a fond one, so can sympathize with other 1 mothers, aud expatiate on lier nursery in thc cou- I tldentla) chat over live o'clock tea, as all fond j mothers do and should. She keeps a well man- , aged house, ami ls notorious for the amount of J needlework she gets through, and of which site 1 is prettily proud, not being ashamed to tell you j that the dress you admire so much was made by . her own hauds, and she will give your wife the 1 pattern if she likes; while she boasts of even 1 rougher upholstery work which she and her ? maid and her .sewing-machine have got through with dispatch and credit. She gives dinners with 1 a cachet of their own, and that have been evident? ? ly planned with careful thought and study: and j site ls not above her work as mistress and organi? zer of her household. Yet she finds time to keep abreast with the current literature of the day, and never has to confess to ignorance of the ortil- i nary topics ul conversation. She ls not n woman . of extreme views about anything. She has not 1 signed Improper papen*, and she docs no: dis- ( cuss improper questions: she does not go lu j for woman's rlglns: she has a horror of facility of divorce; and she sets up lor nothing-being neither un advanced woman desirous of usurping the possessions and privileges of men, nor a Gri? selda who thinks her proper place is nt the feet of men, to take their kicks with patience and their 1 caresses with gratitude, as ls becoming in an in- V ferlor creal ure. She does not dabble lu politics, j and though she likes to make hcrdlnncr.s success? ful and her evenings brilliant, ?ho by no means J assumes to bc u leader of fashion, or to impose \ laws on her circle. She likes to bc admired, and t she is always ready lo let herself be loved: she ls ' always ready, too, to do any good work that comes lu ber way, und she linds time for the care- k ful overlooking ol' ii few pet charities; about which j she makes no parade, just as she Hilda time for . her nursery and her needlework. And, tim li to 1 tell, she enjoys these quiet hours, with only her children to love her. and her poor pensioners to admire her. quite as much as she enjoys the bril liant receptions where she is among the most pop? ular and thc most beautiful, lier nature ls gentle her affections large, her passions small; she may have prejudices, but they are lady-like prejudices of a mild kind, mainly on thc side of modesty and tenderness ?ind thc quietude or womanhood. She is wamali throughout, without the faintest dash or thc masculine element lu mind or manners, and she aspires to nothing else. She carries with her au atmosphere or happiness, of conteut, or spiritual completeness, or purity which ls not prudery; her life ls tilled with a variety or iuter ests, consequently she is never peevish through monotony, nor yet. on the other han I, is she ex cited, hurried, storm driven, as those who give V themselves up to ..objects," and perfect nothing ? beeanse they attempt too much, ?lie is popular, ? because she Is beautirul without being vain, lov- 1 lng without being sentimental; happy In herself, . ?et not Indifferent to others, because She under- IE stands her drawing room duties as well as her | 1 nursery one*, and knows how to combine domes? ticity with social splendor. This ls the best type of lite popular pretty woman to whom ls given adn trallon, and against whom no ore luisa stone to muir or :i shindT to whisker; and this is ilia . . ideal woman or Hie English upper class home, or 5 winch, tiiank heaven, we sim rniseafcwspecl- ' * metis, just tn show what, women may be if they like, ?ind what sweet and lovely creatures they ure when they are content to bc as nature de? signed them. Another kind or popular woman is the sympa- I Q thetlc womau-the woman who gives Instead or j receiving. This kind ls of variable conditions. She may be old, she may be uglv; In fact, she is more often both than neither, but she ls a univer? sal favorite notwithstanding, and no woman is more sought af ter or lest wearied ol although none can say why they like her. She may be married, but generally she is either a widow ol? in old maid : ns. If a wife, her sympathies for :hlngs abroad are necessarily somewhat cramped ly thc pressure of thc home life, and her sympa* : li ic? are her claim ta popularity. She ls sincere, /io. as wei: .is sy ni pathetic, anti she is saTe. She Killis Hie secret's, both or opinion ?ind deed, of all 1er friends, bul no one suspects that any one has rounded secrets to her before himself, she has he art, or rallier thc charm, ol'perpetual spirit- I j) tal freshness, and ail her friends think in urn that tho fountain has been unsealed i | mw ror the lirst time. This ls not urti Ice : i; is simply the property of Hie loop and inexhaustible sympathy, itu trot ne ?essary that she should bo a wisc adviser to be lopulur. Her province ls to listen and to sympa biz.', to gather the sorrows and the joys of oih .rs iuto her own breast, so as to soften, by sharing ir heighten by redupllutlon. Most frequently, C oo, she is not over rigid in her notions or moral j* irudence, aud will let a love sick girl talk of her over, even ir Hie affair is hopeless and has been otbidden. while she will ?lo lier best to soothe nc mau who has had the misfortune to get crazed ibout his friend's wire. She has been even mown, under pressure, to convey a message or i hint; aud ot thc two she is decidedly more lit if ul to sorrow than severe to wrong doing. 31 ?tic is lu at all the misfortunes aud mullidles of n ier fr?cnd?. Ko death takes place without her 'earing part of thc mourning on her own soul, l' mt then no marriage is considered complete lu A vliieli she has not a share. She ls called <? help wherever there is work to be P lone, ir she is or the practical type ; M' al m!y of thc mental, she has merely to give up . 1er own pleasures and her time, that she may Jf ook on and sympathize. Every one likes her. every A me takes tu her at flrst sight, no one is jealous or _ ter, and I he law of her lire is to spend and bc Jl pent ror others, lt not infrequently hap- r tens though that she who docs so much tor those ^ ither? has to bear her own burdens unassisted; A nid-that she sits at home surrounded by thc J peet res or despair, tile ghosts or sorrow, which A he helps to dispel rrom their homes. lint she is iot selfish: and while she trudges ulong cheerful- . v enough under the heavy end or her friends' j .rosses, she asks nu one to lay so much as a Ung- A T em her own. In consequence of which no one magines that she ever suffers at all ou her own . iccount. and most of her friends would take lt as ** ; personal affront were she to turn thc tables and A sk for that or which she had given so much to ithers. She is the morai anodyne of her circle, r ind wheu she ceases to soothe, she abdicates the j unction assigned to ber by nature, and dies out A if lier allotted uses. Anotlier kind of popular person is ihe woman * rhoae sympathies are more superficial, but whose acuities ure more brilliant: thc woman who " nukes herself agreeable, as it ls called-that ls, vho can talk when she ls wanted to talk, listen .. hen she ls wanted to listen, take a prominent . ?rt and some responsibility to keep her person illly in thc background, according to clrcum- * .tances ami the need of the moment; eminently k i userul member or society, and popular just ia ? troportlon to the pleasure she can shed around 1er. Hut she offends no one, even though she Ls v ?otorlously sough; arter and made much or; for " 'he Is good-natured to ali. and people arc not * ifalous of those who do not flaunt their successes, 0 ind whom popularity does not make insolent, f I'he popular woman of this kind is always \ ready to help in the pleasure or others. She f is a rai r- weat her ?riend and shrinks with \ tiie most charming frankness from those on A whomdark days have filien. She ls really v? ry sorry when any of her friends faUjout from : ac ranks, and arc ?eft behind to the tender raeroles or those cruel camp-followers tn thc march of life-sorrow or sickness; inn she feels that her place ls not with them-rather with the singers and players who are making things pleasant for the main body. Bat ir she cannot stop to smooth the pillows ora dvlng-bed, or soothe the troubles of an aching heart, she can organize delightful parties, set young people to congenial games, take orr bores on to her own shonldcrs, and even utilize them Tor the neutralization or other bores; Hhe ls good Tor the back scat or the front, ns ls most convenient to others; she can shine at the mate dinner where you want a serviceable show, ur mutee a division in the quiet, not to say stupid, conglomerate of fogies, where you want a lively element to prevent universal stupor; she talks easily and well, and even brilliantly when on her mettle, but not enough to excite men's envy; and she has no decided opinions. She ls a chame? leon, nu opal, changing ever In changing lights, md no one was yet known to determine her central quality. All that can be said of her ls that she is good natured and amusing, clever, facile, and ever ready to assist In ali kinds or patherlngs, which shebas thc knack or making "go," and which would have been slow without her; that she knows every game that was ever invented, and ls good Tor every sort of rcstlvity; that she ls always well-dressed, even-tempered, ind In (apparently) unwearied spirits and superb Health; but what she ls at home, when the world ls shut ont, never troubles the thoughts of any. She ls to society what thc sympathetic woman is to the individual, and the reward is much the same In both cases. But unless the socially useful woman has been able to secure the nterest or the sympathetic one, the chances ire that, popular art she ls now, she will be ?hunted to the ?Ide when her time or brll lancy has passed; and that, when her last lour comes, lt will Und her without the comfort M a friend, forsaken and forgotten, she is or the ilnd to whom sic tra?isU more especially applies: ind ir her lire's food has not been quite the husks, it all events lt has not been serviceable or endui? ng bread.
