The weight of iron to be used wBlbe over s,0t)0.000 pounds, lt will require lOO.OQQsquare feet of glass in the roof alono, and 90,000 square feet of galvanized corrugated iron to coyer the roof.

( proceedings to invalidate the Indiana divorc,. 0tt the ground that it was obtained without any no- 1 tifica;?on being served on him. Mrs. Richardson is consequently very anxious that he be convicted and Ecnt to prison for life, but ls evidently prepar lng for a different result, and, to prevent litigation m regard to Richardson's property, is turning it into ready money in order to be able to hold on to lt the more effectually. Thc Grecian-cut face of Tllton ls affectionately turned in sympathy towards Mrs. Calhoun. In au editorial in the columns of the Indepen? dent, Theodore is endeavoring, In a moral way, of course, to incite the new and present husband of the gushing letter-writer to shoot Spencer, one of McFarland's counsel. This Chris? tian editor, not satisfied with the quantity of blood already spilled in this uurortunatc affair, thirsts for a fresh victim. It is also rumored that Mrs. McFarland is quite anxious to testify In fa? vor of her slain seducer. Thc New York Sun, iu commenting on her Introduction as a witness by thc prosecution, says: "If the editor of the In? dependent is auxlous to get at thc true and honest sentiments of the community, let him pin the name of his paper on thc front of his hat, aud be about the courthouse when such an unnatural and revolting scene ls enacted. The respect of the populace for the very name of woman will be manifested by their not tearing her to pieces." GENERAL LEE arrived in Charleston from Savanuah about 5 o'clock yesterday eveu ing, and is now in this citv. The Anti-Radical Prosramnic. We print, in another column, an article from the Anderson Intelligencer, in which are recorded the earnest convictions of that excellent journal, in regard to the political programme unanimously advised by the late conference of the Anti-Radical Tress. The Intelligencer sustains, of course, the resolu? tions of the Press Conference recognizing the equal right of all citizens to vote and hold public office: but it is decidedly opposed to nominating a general ticket in opposition to the Radical party. What has been the effect, in the up-coun? try, of the action of the Pres3 Conference, we have no means of knowing. The Intel? ligencer says that, so far as its information extends, that action "has fallen uuheeded "upon the ears of the colored people." This may be the case in Anderson, but it is not the case in the tide-water region, and if there had been no public 6ign whatever that the colored people were willing to co-operate with the whites in the work of reform, we, at least, should not be surprised or dis couraged. The refusal of the Democracy to recognize, without qualification, the equal civil rights of all citizens did, un doubtedly, lead the colored man to believe that the white man was his enemy. No hair? splitting, or special pleading, would con vince the freedmen that the whites were their friends, so long a3 the Party to which those whites ostensibly belonged denounced the laws which made thc colored man a citi zen, and threatened to repeal those laws upon the first convenient opportunity. Now, the legal rights of the colored man are se? cured to him by the Constitution of the Uni? ted States, and the white people accept that decision as final, meet the colored man on a common ground as their political equal, and recognize his privileges with the same frank? ness and honesty with which they formerly opposed them. Considering, then, that the white people stood in the position of accord? ing a tardy recognition of a very obvious fact, why should it have been expected that the colored people would leap at once into thc political embraces of the whites? There was no ground for such an expectation. All that the Press Conference proposed to do was to untte_utl thu whites" "in tt-gwiertti nffirmation or recognition of the civil and political equality of all citizens of the State, and to invito a political alliance for the re? demption and reformation of the State Gov? ernment. And what has been the result ? With astonishing unanimity the white peo? ple of the Statu dp join in the recognition of the legal rights of their colored fellow-citi? zens, and do express a desire to band all good men together in a movement whose aim shall be, not the success of Democracy or the subversion of Republicanism, but the establishment of a stable, honest and frugal government. Turning to the colored peo? ple, we find that, in this region, they arc ready to lend a willing ear to our statements, and are anxious to hearken to the arguments which prove the necessity of a change, and which show that fraud and corruption iujnre poor as well as rich, the black mau us well as the white. But Rome was not built iu a day, and we did not expect to overcome, iu an instant, the sophistries of Radicalism and tiie prejudices resultiug from years of malicious misrepresentation. We believe that the colored people will work heartily with us wlicu convinced that we are thor? oughly in earnest. And steady and patient work and a just representation of evory class will give them confidence, if we only perse? vere. So far as the colored people are con? cerned, we see no reason for discouragement. But the Intelligencer thinks that to run an opposition ticket will strengthen the efforts of the Radical leaders, and cause tho colored vote to be given, almost as a unit, in favor of the Radical nominees. The reply to this, ?n our judgment, is plain and convincing. Vnless we have organization and concert of action, unless we have concentration of pur? pose and harmony of intention, we cannot by any possibility succeed. Add this organ? ization, this harmony, this unity of action, can only be had by running a general ticket for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor against the Radical nominees. Unless this bc done oar strength will be frittered away ; we shall be whipped in detail. Nor is this all. We shall break np all organized oppo? sition to Radicalism, encourage desertion, and even drive our people over to tho Radi? cal Party, there to stay, there to work, and there to make its defeat impossible. Thou? sands of white men will go bodily over to Radicalism, unless we give them a Party with which to work. They will attempt to make Radicalism reputable, and, whether they succeed or not, no Anti-Radical Party could defeat them for teu or twenty years to come. This is about the last thing which the Intelligencer would desire. We admit frankly that the one great thing to strive for is a change in the State Legis? lature; for a majority of respectable and upright men iu that body could do much in checking the Executive, however daring md unscrupulous that officer might be. But we say, emphatically, that the very courso idvised by the Intelligencer for securing a majority in the General Assembly is per? fectly consistent with, and wonld be slrength med by, an adoption of the policy of the Press Conference. Wo cannot undertake to decide, beforehand, what will be thc action of the June Convention. We do hope and ^H?vo, however, that it will adopt a policj which -vin have aU the streng arili un?ty which can v? by m organized opposi tiou to Radicalism, and will, at the same time, leave every county perfectly free to do the best that it can' for itself in the election of members of the Legislature and county officers. We do believe it necessary that there should be opposition candidates for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor; but we Jo not think it necessary that there should bc opposition tickets for each county. We should prefer to allow each county, while working for the State ticket, to do the best it can for members of the Legislature and county officers; and where it can be arranged to have but one county ticket, such a ticket as tho wholo county can support, a contest would be a serious injury. This, at all events, is thc policy we have advocated un? der the name of the CITIZENS' REFORM move? ment. The June Convention may not coun? tenance that movement, or may prefer an? other name. But we arc earnest in our con? victions that a proper State ticket can suc? ceed, and at the same time give to each county ail the independence of action which the Intelligencer and other journals desire. The May Convention. The various committees who have the matter in charge are making the best ar? rangements possible for the accommodation of the delegates, as well as the visitors, to the Agricultural, Mechanical and Immigra? tion Convention, which meets in this city on Tuesday next. There is every reason to be? lieve that the attendance will be exceedingly large. Every county in the State will be represented, and Georgia aud North Caro? lina will send delegates, to prove their in? terest in the great cause of mechanical and agricultural development and white immi rration. A large number of papers upon questions of importance to the whole Sooth will be presented. Among them we may mention : 1. A report on the necessity of agricul? tural education and teaching in the schools and colleges of the Southern States. 2. A report on the value of various plants as a useful means of diversifying our agri? culture. 3. A report on Southern manufactures, showing the advantages possessed by the South a3 a manufacturing people. 4. A report on the hygienic character of Charleston and South Carolina. These papers are in the hands of gentle? men of marked ability and established rep? utation. The convention, will meet in the Academy of Music. The body of the building will be reserved for the delegates and visitors. The ladies will occupy the dress circle and the galleries. Upon the stage will sit the offi? cers and magnates of the convention. It wiii bc the largest gathering winch Charles? ton has had since the war-a gathering of ] earnest men, who have but one aim, thc well-being and progress of South Carolina and thc whole South. Thc Late Richard Yendon. We regret to announce that the Hon. Richard Yeadon, a leading member of the bar, and one of the principal proprietors of tiic Charleston Courier, died yesterday af? ternoon at his residence in this city. Mr. Yeadon was a hard student, an able lawyer, an accomplished journalist, a patriotic citi acu, udd un honest man. THE Robertson bill for the relief of the po? litical disabilities of som o two thousand Southerners is expected to go through both houses without a hitch. But why aro there so few South Carolinians on the list? Sena? tor Robertson surely kuows of the respecta? ble and accomplished citizens of South Caro? lina, as much as he knows of the respectable and accomplished citizens of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia, that is-their names ! THE Laurensville Herald says that at the Radical mass meeliug held in Laurensville on thc 13th instant, the Radical speakers "proclaimed to the negroes that they would "all be armed by the next election with rifles "that would shoot thirty times to tho min "ate."

PERHAPS Governor Scott advocates the XVIth amendment besause he is, at heart, something of an old woman. THE last theory upon tho Scott-Williams robbery is contained in our Columbia letter. Thc Eclectic. Tlie literature of Europe pays delightful trib? ute to us lids month through the pages of the Eclectic Magazine.

The Eclectic, beside its lite? rary character, is a valuable portrait gallery, each number containing a carefully engraved likeness of some person or prominence iu let? ters, in the Church, or in thc State.
