Plans are also on foot in Europe -to bring out an Immense number of Irish and Germans, as well as a larger emigration than | i ever before from North Europe. -Thc action of the Supreme Court In dL<mlsslng | ( the legal-tender cases upon thc motion or coun .sel for the plaintiffs does not finally depose of the question at issue. It merely postpones the sub -ject until the next term of thc court, when a new case, similar to the one dismissed, will come up i for argument. The announced decision of the | court stands, however, as law until tho next ses sion of the court, or until the other case is dispos? ed of 1 -lu Ute United States District Court at Tren- I too, ou Tuesday, during the progress of an nrgn mont by the district attorney. Judge Field, who was on the bench, rose from his seat, and with his face to the westerly wall of the co-.rt, lifted - np his hand, beat the air wildly with them and ' ' shouted out, " It is no use, lt is no use, gentlemen you will have to Indict the judge!'' and then he t shrieked and fell towards the wall, but was fortn- ( nat ely caught and conveyed, in an insensible condition, to bis ehambsr* in the Statehouse. The scene created great conrusiou. Medical aid I was promptly obtained, and it was learned about t half an hour artcrwards that the attack had rc- I ?suited rrom over application to study and worry j or mind. -Further accounts continue to reach us or the Spring freshet at the North and East. At Selie 'ncctady, N. T., the flood bas subsided some fifteen feet. A dispatch from Albany says that consld- | i erablc damage was done to th? canal, though the freshet in that city ls at t stand still. It was t raining, however, and there were indications ot' a furt her rise; all business along thc dooks was sus 1 -pended. The freshet ia Schoharie Valley is very severe, doing much damage. Advices from Ro? chester show that the canals cannot be opened at | ? _an early day. The water eoatlaaes high in most o.'the streams. From Portland, Maine, we have thJ statement that the Saco River was higher OH .Wednesday than it has been since 1827; lt rose three feet on Tuesday. There ls great destruction among booms and mills, Ac. At Concord the Merrimack River is railing, and lt was thought , that railroad travel would seen be resumed. There was a slight fall of Bnow on Thursday. . -The boat race on the Thames between the Ox I>>rJ aud thc Cambridge crews, on the Ssh instant, | S was a most exciting one, only equalled by the contest with the Harvards la3C year. When the word for starting was given, the dark blue oat 8 or the Cambridge crew clutched at the water a fraction or a second the soonest, and Oxford jumped away with the lead. At flrst it seemed as ir Oxford were to make a push early in the rape, and Cambridge to wait on them In the hope partly of tiring them out and rowing them down. The Cambridge start was admirably free from flurry, and thc sight of Oxford shooting suddenly altead did not unset tlc in the least the methodical regular? ity. Opposite thc boat-houses the two crews were side by side. At Bishop's Creek, Gamlrklgc be? gan to lead. At Craven Point, the Light Bitte, still rowiug its unchanging stroke ol thirty-eight to the minute, had drawn a quarter-length to the front. Thence to the Soap Works, Cambridge con? tinued to gain inch by iuch. Just by the Soap Works, the Cambridge coxswain, mistaking thc set ofthc tide, took his boat too Tar over toward the Middlesex shore, heading for some minutes directly toward tito furthest pier of the bridge, nail-the same sharp-witted boy who steered against Harvard-saw his opportunity. His course had been raultle?.s from the beginning; and now, calling on his crew for a spurt, he laid thc head of his boat, haviug the inside or the curve, straight for the nearest point through Hammersmith Bridge, but, notwithstanding, Cambridge passed under one quarter-length In advance. From this point Cambridge found no dtmculty in keeping and gradually Increasing her superiority. Oxford never ceased to struggle with that most indomitable courage which so often distinguishes a losing crew, and when the gun was fired, Cambridge was rather more th .n two lengths ahead-winning the race. The ttmc is variously given rrom 2i;< minutes to 22 min? utes 5 seconds. Saline statuary. The day has arrived when al! men who desire the best interests of the State should look existing fac? s full in the face and shape their course accordingly. For all practical purposes the issues of the past, so far as the State of South Carolina is concerned, are held in mortuary abeyance. The mass of our citizens recognize the facL The Con? federacy is dead, and there is no Scripture authority which encourages a hope of its resurrection, even at the crack of doom. But it is 3aid, "The colored man have ye i "always with 3'bu.'* (If weare not correct ia the language of this quotation, we are confident that wc are in its interpretation for this latitude. ) He is a free man, anda permanent element in the political power of the State and nation. We cannot get rid of the fact if we would, aud a3 revolutions never go backwards, we would not if we could. The great majority of our citizens who have heretofore acted with the Demo? cratic party honestly accept this fact with a!', its resultant consequences. Hence that ?.-?sue between the Republican party and the Democracy no longer exists. The question of Free Trade vs. Protection, too, is not now strictly a party issue, because the Republican press and statesmen are di? vided in sentiment upon it, and even the Democracy of certain sections uphold pro? tection, as they conceive, in the interests of their localities. In the recast of parties in the future, issue will be doubtless joined on that question; but it Ls not for the parties of the State of South Carolina to-day. As for States' Rights, we went into war upon that issue, and thc war interpreted that idea ad? versely to our theories. The doctrine of States' Rights to-day is quiescent if not au abstraction. It meekly asks to be let alone. In the future its ghost may arise to tantalize the vcr}' people who strangled it. Certainly nobody proposes to go to war upon it, and it can only come up in the forum and the press. Then, as to paying the uatict.al debt in greenbacks, wo have the satisfaction of saying to plough-holder and bond-holder that ?old is quoted at 113. What, then, is the issue between the CITI? ZENS' REFORM PARTY aud the existing regime in the State? Simply one of an honest ad? ministration of our government. Republi? cans, both white and colored, have expressed their approval of the programme of the new movement, and have signified their desire to co-operate with it. Who oppose it? Pri? marily the robbers who now control the State and a large portion of tiie colored voters, who, having been kept in ignorance of the infamy of their leaders, blindly follow them. Then there ore a few men among them who ire opposed to Radical rule, and who, bar? ing been sent whirling into thc vortex of a new era, hate lo even whisper an aequies ;encc in the changed order of things, or to believe thal the future is not to be au ad? journed meeting of the past. To them, if die Confederacy is not, nothing is. While they play thc role of Lot's wife, and, like lier, become admirable specimens of saline statuary, they are of no practical use so long is Turk's Island lies oft* our coast. But there hey stand ready, either for the iconoclasm )f chaos which shall destroy their value in Ul artistic point of view, or for u possible ntcrposition of Providence which shall re? store, at least inpart, the old order of things. They may as well forego both their dark de? spair and their desperate hope. Chaos is ndefinitely postponed. Providence is not ;oing to interveue by a special miracle. The lueslion for these geutlemen to determine is, whether they will give the aid of their name3, their intelligence, their influence, their active co-operation and their votes, to insure the success of a movement inangura :ed to turn public misfortune into publicsnc ;ess and build up a wealthy, prosperous and intelligent commonwealth, in place of an impoverished and tax-burdened State; or whether they are willing to be recognized as inte-bcUnm Saurians, to remain unhonored ind cveu unused until, in the unknown fu Atro, the bones of their political corpus mall be exhumed and be put ou the market ts phosphates to fertilize the political fields )f future nges. Now, they are worse than iseless. They not only throw away the lower they have, but their example prevents he active co-operation of many who would >e glad to give their earnest support to the 'ARTY OK REFORM. TOE Orangeburg Kern announces that tho litizens of Orangcburg, without regard to >arty, race or cok will nivet in convention ?n sales-day in June, to appoint delegates o the Anti-Radical Convention which meets n Columbia on June 15, next. THE COLUMBIA PHOENIX now says that it s "as indiMerent to the assaults, as to thc 'damning with faint praise, of THE CIIARI.ES 'TOXNKWS." Jes'so! Bnt why on earth loes the Phoenix make so much fuss about it ? WILT, THE COLUMBIA PntExi.v. kindly in orm the public whether, in its opinion, the tarty sought to be organized in opposition o official extravagance and corrup'.ijn, liould be called the Democratic Party? ---ge* 1 . What Wc Meao> The Abbeville Press and Banner says: "If we understand what is meant by the 'Citi "'zena' Party' movement, it isthat for the :'nonce we ignore national issues-not that "Democrats are to give up anything, uot "that Republicans are to change anything; "but that retaining and cherishing nil that .'characterizes and distinguishes them, they "will yet harmonize, and putting out of view "diff?rences on national issues, they will yet "unite upon a common State platform-hon "esty in office and economy in the adminis? tration of the finances. Such we under? stand to be the significance of the resolu? tions of 'the Press Conference.' They are "silent upon national issues-they substi? tute nothing for the faith of Democrats "and Republicans-they put forth no party "shibboleth. This seems to be so clear that "he that runs may read." This is our understanding of what is meant by the CITIZENS' PARTY movement, aud by the resolutions of the Press Conference. And when the June Convention meets, it will, we hope, enunciate just these principles in such a way that DO Democrat and no Re? publican shall mistake or misunderstand them. _ How to Double the Value of Cotton. The New York Times, in discussing the project which wa3 in such favor just previous to the war, of manufacturing iu the South a large share of the cotton crop into yarns and coarse cloths, instead of shipping it to Eu? rope in the bale, remarks : "By doing so "the staple would be iucreased in value by "the addition of labor fully one hundred per "cent. The average crop is now worth two "hundred million dollars, and if half of it "were spun it would realize three hundred "million of dollars, besides employing thou "sands of operatives and uniting large emi "gration. It is claimed that yarns can be "manufactured at the South of equal quaiity "to those made abroad, an J that they would "sell readily in European markets. The "consequence would be that the surplus "spinners of the Old World would be obliged "to come to the raw material, instead of the "raw material going to them as now, and, "moreover, a very large saving in freight "would be effected. The scheme i3 certainly "a dazzling oue, and we shall be glad to see "it successfully carried into operation. The "South now hail less than two hundred thou? sand spindles, while the North has 5,848, "47". If the South could spin its own cot? ton, or one-''alf of it, and send it abroad in "the shape of yarn, the above proportion in "spindles would eoon be reversed." How to Advertise. The secret of profitable advertising ?3 to advertise regularly, but to change the form of the advertisement frequently, so that it may be continually attractive. An adver? tisement which i3 inserted for three or six months soon becomes familiar with the reg? ular reader, who passes it by without notice. But if a fresh one is often presented, it catches his eye aud is read. It is a great mistake to suppose the advertisements in a paper are never noticed unless they cover a large space. It is the short paragraphs which are the more attractive, and aro read three times where au advertisement a column in length is read once. And a3 a rule, ninety live readers in a hundred now-a-days read the short, sharp business advertisements in a live newspaper just as regularly and faith? fully as they do the editorial and news col? umns. TriE NEWS did not especially refer to the Columbia Phoenix in speaking of "themnchi "ualions of timorous friends." But if the cap fits, our Columbia contemporary may wear it and welcome !

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the oot'.ce of the American pub? lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac. There ls hardly a etty or town or any note in the country luto which they have not fonnd their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and daily Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Ilelng determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further improved their qnallty, and now we firmly and honestly be-. Heve t hat they stand without a rtvaL Our Vanilla Extract cauuot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of VaulUa Beans. Hi short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least, this ls the decision of the best judges In the coun? try. We don't pretend to compete lu price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day. which are reaUy but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
