Sensation Among the Fashionables
?Tmuttur Theatricals-A Distinguish?
ed Audience.
A Washington dispatch, of Monday, to the
New York Herald says:
An amateur theatrical performance was given
this evening at'Wall's Opera House by a number
of the elite of Washington society for the benefit
of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home. The
play was the three act comedy of "Leap Year"
and the farce of "Popping the Question." The
dramatis persona: were Sir Solomon Solus, Mr.
Roger Sherman; Captain Mouser, Mr. Thomas M.
Hoff, son of Admiral Hoff; Mr. Dimple, Mr. Jan
Tier; Walker, General Curtis; Joseph, Mr. Eb?n
Maynadier; John Thong.,Mr. Montgomery Melgs,

of Captain Jeffers, of the navy ; Mrs. Crisp.
Miss Sallie Schenck, daughter of General
Schenck; Susan, Miss Kitty McCarthy, daughter or
Congressman Mccarthy, of New York; "Betty,
Miss Beale. The tickets for the performance were
ccu to the friends and admirera of the amateur
performers, and .the audience, which was very
large, was composed of the fashionable and dis?
tinguished people of the city. No others were ad?
mitted?- The boxes were occupied by the Presi?
dent and family, General Sherman, the Secretary
of War. Mr. Edward Thornton, the British Minis?
ter; Secretary Robeson, und different members of

was a large number of prominent ofneers of the
army and navy, senators and members of'the
House, with a goodly sprinkling of the "oldest
Inhabitants,'' the "first families." The perform?

went off creditably. As might be expected, the
stage was strewn with bouquets, which were
thrown m plentiful profusion by the partial audi?

aristocracy has made Its appearance upon the
stage, there was a general desire, growing out of
curiosity, to see t:, L>ut the canaille wa3 not al?

Free Trade Conference*-President
Grant on the Tariff and Taxes.
41 Washington Letter of Tuesday evening to the
Baltimore Sun says :
Yesterday and to-day several of the gentlemen
who have been la attendance on the private con?
ference held In the Interests of free trade have
called on the President and had informal conver?
sations. As the interviews have been somewhat
of a priva'e nature, it would not be proper to
commit either side to the details of the same on
the various phases of the tariff question. There
is no donbt, however, that the result ts the failure
of the President to commit himself to any specific
branch of the question-either for protection or
for a tariff for revenue for incidental protection,
or tor free trade, en the general question of
taxation, he was in favor of reducing the tariff
and the excise dntles just so far as the revenues
of the government would permit. If Congress
fonnd that the income tax could be dispensed
with after this year, he was in favor of cutting it
off; but he thought that the government could not
afford, in that event, to reduce any or tbe other
reatures or internal taratioa.
THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
It was the old story again to-day on the finan?
cial question. The Ways and Means again de?
bated the Fonding bill, and the Banking Commit?
tee took up their measure to Increase the bank
circulation but no positive result was reached
with either measure. The Funding bin wlU prob?
ably be reported this week, bnt in an essentially
different shape from the Senate measure. The
compulsory or seventh bank section, lt is said,
has been so modified as to require the bonds held
by the banks to be exchanged only at maturity.
It was rumored also that Secrttary Boutwell had
assented to the substitute which the Ways and
Means proposed to adopt.

THE COLUMBIA ELECTION.
Proceedings in-the Supreme Court.
The following sketch of the proceedings in
the Supreme Court In the case of John Alexander
(Radical,) who claims to be Mayor elect, against
John McKenzie, the present incumbent, ls taken
from the Pheonix and Guardian:
TL'ESDAV.
The case of John Alexander et al vs. John Mc
Kensie et al was taken up. Mr. Tradewell was
heard ror plaintiffs. Mr. Rhett for defendants.
Mr. Pope on the same side. The points ol Mr.
Tradewell's argument were: L The legislative
power of this State, subject only to the limita?
tions of the Constitution of tue State and the
United States, is absolute, and cannot be con?
trolled by the courts. 2. Neither the Constitution
of the State, or of the United States, contains any
restriction upon the powers or the Legislature
over the corporation or the City of Columbia.
3. The City or Columbia ls a public municipal cor?
poration, cr.-ated by the statutes or the State<br
political purposes, and, therefore, with its mayor
and aldermen, created by the same authority, ls
subject to change, modification or abolition ac?
cording to the pleasure of the Legislature, in no
.sense partaking of the nature or a contract. 4.
The act or the General Assembly, or February 2C,
1ST0, entitled "An act to alter and amend the
charter and extend the limits of the City of
Columbia," is constitutional: the election held
thereunder ror mayor and aldermen was a valid
election, and the plaintiffs are entitled to the Im?
mediate possession or those offices.
Mr. Rhett, In reply, urged the rollowlng points:
1. Two constructions possible or the act. First,
to construe it to oust the defendants immediate?
ly. If correct, the act violates article 1, section
14, or State Constitution, and Fourteenth amend?
ment to United Sta'es Constitution. 2. Cndcr
thl9 construction, lt violates article l, section 20.
or State Constitution. The act is judicial. 3.
The proper con-truction or the statute or Septem?
ber 20,1S68, ls to make lt prospective, retain our
clients to the end or the term, and admit the
validity or the title of claimants, but only to take
effect at that time.
For the respondents, the following points were
submitted by Messrs. Pope A Haskell, of counsel
In the cause : 1. That the "incorporeal thing,"
called "office," ls, under the constitutions, state
and Federal, a "privilege"-if it bc not "proper?
ty." 2. That as such, it is recognized by the 3lst
" 'lion, article l, of the Constitution or Sonth
..ollns. 3. That a "prlvileRe," quite as well as
"property," cannot be tafc?n from the citizen
"without due process oriaw," under the Fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, and section 14.. rtlcle l, of the Constitu?
tion of South Carolina. 4. That judgment by
"the law or the land" is not a legislative, buta
judicial act. which belongs alone to the judiciary
by the 1st, 2d and loth sections ot article 4 or the
Constitution or South Carolina, and 26th section,
artitcle l, or the same. 5. That the "term" ?B the
lire and essence or "office," and unless the "term"
be destroyed, the "officer" of the "term" cannot
be "ousted" by the mere act of the Legislature,
as -the officer" holds the "office" by a quasi
"vested right" (for want of better words to
convey the idea) during the unrevoked
"term." c. That the "term" of the "offices" or
Mayor and Aldermen or the City or Columbia ls
not annulled or abridged by any existing act or
the Legislature, but, on the contrary, under all
the acts, the act or 1870 included, the "term" re?
mains unat ridged and unchanged, from April,
18T0, to April, 1872. 7. That the present "offi?
cers"-"Mayor and Aldermen'"-were elected to
that "term'' In 1SCS, to lill that unrevoked, una?
bridged and unexpired "term," beginning in
April, 1870, and ending in April, 1872. That the
charter of the "corporation" of the 1 City of Co?
lumbia" has not been "assumed or resumed" by
the Legislature, and Its chartered "rights'" unre?
voked, and the amendments or the "charter," by
the act or 1870, are directory merely, theteby In?
creasing slightly the "official duties" of the pres?
ent and all future "boards." 9. That this being
so, the "offices" created by the "charter." are
also unchanged and unrevoked, and the "officers"
holding under lt are protected in their "fight" to
hold by the Stale and Federal Constitutions. 10.
That an "officer" holding under the laws or
South Carolina, ls protected during his "term"
by the express words or the present Constitution
or Si'Uth Carolina, by 3lst section, 2d article
thereor.
At 3 P. M. the court adjourned until Wedesday,
the 27th, at io A. M.
WEDNESDAY
Thc argument berore the Supreme Court was
continued and concluded. Mr. J. D. Pope and
Chancellor Carroll brought out the sirona points
or the derence, using the double-edged sword of
masterly loaic and abundant authorities. D.H.
Chamberlain, Esq.. in reply, enforced the position
taken by Mr. Tradewell on Tuesday, arguing for
the absolute supremacy ora legislative act as the
expression of the sovereign will of the people.
The discussion or the court will be looked for
with much interest.

Fire in Sumter.
On Thursday last a fire broke out on the
first floor of the old Sumter Hotel, occupied by
Mr. J. Schwerin as a grocery and dry goods store.
By the timely discovery, and the skilful efforts
or the firemen, the Ure was prevented from ex?
tending beyoud the roof, where it appeared in
several places, lt was the work or an incendiary,
who was thus thwarted in the accomplishment
of his design.
The Crop*J in Newberry.
The Herald says: "Wheat could scarcely look

farmers :'.re learning to do their work in a more
careful manner. Cotton of course is being largely
planted, but not to the cxclusiou of corn however,
for of the latter a considerable scope ls devoted.

[SECOND DISPATCH.]
This afternoon has been one of funerals. In
some of the churches three or four bodies were
before the altar at the same time. Many of tbe
ministers denounced the carelessness of modern
architecture, which placed In jeopardy thc lives
of citizens in nearly every principal street.
Thirty funeral processions were geing :o the
cemeteries. All business was suspended.
The Dispatch, State Journal and other news?
paper offices were bungin mourning, and the
flags on the capitol, customhouse, public buildings
and the vessels in the harbor, were at half-mast.
The railroad trains coming into the city were
covered with emblems of mourning, and many of
the trucks and carts through the streets were
also so covered. At all the funerals, the old or?
ganizations to which the deceased belonged,
turned ooi? At one of them the State Grand Di?
vision of the Sons of Temperance, now In session
here, followed the eorpses to the cemetery.
At a mass meeting of the citizens to-day, as
mentioned at noon, the following resolutions
were adopted :
Resolved. That we mourn with pr.iiound sorrow
the loss which our State and city has suffered In
the death of her citizens. That we offer, with
saddened hearts and tearful eyes, our profound?
est sympathies to the bereaved and the suffering,
and fervently pray that "as their days of afflic?
tion are, so may their strength be.''
Resolved, That Wednesday next, thc 4th of
May. be set apart as a day of humlltariun, prayer
and religious service, on which day the people of
this city are requested to assemble In their re?
spective places of public worship, at such hours
as may be designated by the clergy, who are re?
spectfully invited to co-operate in the purpose of
this resolution.
Expressions of sympathy for the sufferers by
the disaster are coming In from all quarters, fre- i
quently accompanied by thc offer of pecuniary
aid. A telegram from a New York merchant au- J
thorizes the city authorities to draw on him for i
one thousand -lollars.

EREESPEECH.
Ihe Cadetshlp-Seller Speaks at Sumter. <
?From the Sumter News.]
The Courthouse was well filled on Saturday 1
last, *o hear Mr. Whitemore and those who. lt t
was supposed, would reply to him. The affair i
wos,J:owever, so adroitly managed by Whltte i
more and hlsiriends, that noftlr opportunity was j
given io: a reply, lt seemed as If he had bis i
claqueurs there; at any rate, he was frequently |
applauded by his partisans throughout bis long t
speech, which mnst be pronounced a decided euc- i
cess, so far as its apparent effect upon his espe- i
dal ad mirers is concerned. t
Mr. Whittemorespoke for three hours anda |
half, without hesitation, and apparently without i
fatigue, in tones that were distinctly heard in \
every part of the house. ]
Mr. Feriter attempted to Interpose a word two ?
or three times, but was promptly called to order, i
Mr. Whittemore promising that Mr. Feriter i
should be heard when he himself was through, i
Finally he concluded, and Captain Johnson,
the chairman of the meeting, then introduced i
Sheriff Coghlan, who spoke In favor of Mr. Whit- |
temore, and not being able to hear him distluct- i
ly, and tired with long standing, ,ve left the
meeting for a time.
Other speeches were made on the same side. At
last. Mr. Feriter obtained the floor, and attempt?
ed to reply to Mr. Whittemore. blithe met with ?
constant and impertinent interruption; some
even cried, "Put him out!"
Seeing that Mr. Feriter was not to be allowed
fair play, and thouroughly disgusted with the
whole affair, we left the courthouse.
Captain Dunn was also present, but he was not
permitted to speak at all.
Such ls the party of "freespeech," "free press,"
"free" everything.
THE MASSACRE IN GREECE.
Further Details.
The details of the published correspondence
relative to the late massacre In Greece are equally
humiliating io the Greek Government, and to the
British Legation and the representatives of other
foreign powers at Athens. An Athens account of
the tlie-ht and butchery says:
The force sent in pursuit came up with the
brigands not fur from the place of capture, as
they were amoug the rocky piles with which the
plain of Marathon abounds. They were found no:
unprepared, and a severe fight ensued lasting up?
ward of an hour. Thirteen of the brigands were
killed us well as several of the attucklng party.
The superior weapons of thc troops, however,
gave them success, and the chief of the bandits,
Konit, with eight of his band, gave up the contest
and lied. Some delay was occasioned in order
that the soldiers might seek among the killed for
bodies of the captives, and at length none being
found, the troops immediately started iu pursuit.
Then followed the most excitlng^chase.
The brigands sought the northern and wooded
extremity of the plain, and succeeded in reaching
anti coneeuling themselves from their pursuers
among the underbrush. No halt was, however,
taken, and Tor seven days the prisoners were
dragged night and day through morass and
ravine, enduring hunger, thirst, and the most
terrible suffering.
During the retreat Lord Muncaster made his es?
cape, and was found and communicated with the
pursuing party.
The chase was then renewed with vigor. On
the fourth day Mr. Herbert, an attache of the
British Legation, and Count Boy I, secretary of
the Italian Legation, becoming thoroughly ex?
hausted and utterly unable to proceed further,
they flagging behind and much delaying the es?
cape, they were brutally murdered. On the next
day, and the flftb of the pursuit, Vyner, Lord
Gay's brother, and Mr. Lloyds, their exhaustion
again impeding the flight, were poniarded, the
band having exhausted their 6tock of ammuni?
tion.
-Abraham Lincoln used to say the best story he
ever read or himself was this: .. Two Quakeresses
w?re travelling on the railroad, and were heard
discussing the probable termination ot the war.
.1 think,- said the tlrst, -that Jefferson will suc?
ceed.' 'Why does thee think soi' asked the other.
'Because Jefferson ls a praying man.' 'And so Is
Abraham a praying man,' objected the second.
.Yes; but thc Lord will think Abraham is ?ole?na.'
;he firs: replied, '..onciusivelv."

Atan infomal meeting of the Pendleton

the committee.
On Sunday, the 17th, we were again visited
with sunshine, clouds, rain, hall, and at 3 P. M.
a distressingly beautiful snow storm. At 9 P. M.
the mercury stood at thirty-nine degrees, and at
sunrise next morning, to our great surprise and
delight at forty only-though there must have been
a change both down and up during the night, as
we discovered Ice In the morning, not aa thick,
however, as did our friend of the Intelligencer.
He must have beaten us up this morning If he
did not lu the former snow, as he found the Ice
half an inch thick, lt had melted down to the
thickness of a knife blade when we got out. Not?
withstanding every prospect of Us destruction,
the fruit crop, especially the apple, promises to be
fair, with a light crop of other fruit. For the last
week we ha*?$ "had fine growing weather, and
farmers and planters are pretty weil through
with their planting. An unusual amount of fer?
tilizers has been used InT?r neighborhood this
season. S.
THE POLITICIAN OF THE PERI OD,
Fernando Wood.
"Mack," the sprightly correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, thus sketches the m ost
prominent of the Democratic representatives in
Congress:
I cannot help thinking that li Charles Dickens
were to write another American novel, and were
to introduce American politicians Into Us chap?
ters, he would select Fernando Wood" tor one of
them. And simply because he Is such a peculiar
sort of person-a perfect riddle to the ordinary
newspaper correspondent, in whose tread-mltl
life there is little time for the study of such a
character, even if the ability for Its portrayal
were there; bnt an "Inexhaustible bottle" for
Illustration and development in the hands of the
great novelist. There ls something about him
which 1 certainly cannot describe, but can only
write about In a Jerky and unsatisfactory sort or
way. First, there is the man himself, as he tits
In his seat or stands on the floor. Straight as a
fishing pole and, I was about to say, nearly as
tal! ; but the reader will at once perceive that that
depends very roach upon the fishing pole; always
dressed In the neatest or black trowsers, and the
neatest or black coats with the shinlngest or velvet
collars; never by any possibility letting us know
whether he wears a waistcoat or not, but giving
us a slight assurance or a shirt in the exhibition
orso much of it as can struggle into notice
abure thc third or fourth button of his outer
broadcloth.
Whether he looks so straight because he is so
thin, or looks so thin because be is so straight, 1
?hall not attempt to say, but when to hts straight?
ness and bis thinness you add his button-up-ness,
and then, on top ol all these, put a small head
ihickedly covered with whitening hair, and an
emotionless race with a pair or small twinkling
ives, and the largest and whitest moustache ou
the American continent, you have altogether a
rery remarkable foui ensemble; so much so that
tvlicn the proprietor of this strangeness of contour
ind person rises to address the House, and stands
m the floor as the representative of so much of
.he American nation as ls Included In his district,
.here ls always a sensation lu the galleries, ir
rou never saw him berore in jour lire, and didn't
enow who he was. you woola still join In the feei?
ng or "sensation," and listen In expectation or
iomelhinz suite out of the usual routine or debate,
and be will not disappoint you; ror tl: tone and
manner or his speech are quite as unique as his
personal appearance. His words are always di?
rect and well chosen, and bis arguments forcible
ind strong. I shall never forget the scene of a
Tew days ago, when he and Ben Butler had the
dight fence or swords about General Howard.
Butler rose, evidently Intent upon crushing Wood
with one or his efforts at vituperation; he said
something which he considered perfectly conclu?
sive and finishing, and looking as his custom ls,
;o the galleries with an air of "Didn't I polish him
my sat down.
There stood Fernando, on the other side of the
?hamber-a cross between an Iceberg and a mar?
ide statue, but ror the purposes or that debate an
ceberg, against which the brig Ben But?
er had voluntarily steered, with the usual sad re?
mit of such collisions-the damage of the brig.
kVood'B manner In reply stood him In infinitely
letter stead than his words. There was not so
nuch in what he said-which was simply that
when the Investigation or Howard was completed
ie should favor the investigation of the gentle
nan from Massachusetts-but the cold frosty war
n which he said it, following upon the cold
rosty way in which he had listened to But?
er - never deviating a hair's breadth from
its fish-pole straightness all the time-gave him a
rinmph over old Dlabolus, which both sides or
he House were quick to recognize, and which
neither side could well keep from applauding. It
ivas, by all odds, the greatest triumph over But?
er yet achieved IR'the cut and thrust of quick
repartee, and Butler felt it too, as was manifest
Trout his halting between two opinions, as to
whether he should reply or not, and finally de?
eding to keep his seat.
This incident gives quite as good an idea of Fer?
nando Wood as 1 could give In a whole column of
myown mere opinions, ir the reader can't re?
cognize from this the sort of man he is, he shall
"bust In Ignorance" on that Important subject,
for aught 1 can do. Bm you must add to all this
that Wood ls quite as polished in lils manner as lu
his dress. If there ts Pecksniff some time lu his
?peech, as well as Turvey drop In lils deportment,
there ls always Chesterfield in his social inter?
course. Notwithstanding all or which he ls well
''ked by those who know him, and ls thought
quite a good-hearted, a jolly rellow, when you get
under the uppcrcrust ol hts icy exterior. Iiis pub?
lic career ls as well known to the readers ol the
Enquirer as to me-how he has been accused or
all sorts or things, but how he has, notwithstand?
ing all these accusations, been a very successful
man, and a very great and successful politician.
VARIETIES.
-A new town in Mississippi ?9 called Jollifi?
cation.
-Thc "Grand Duchess'' has been produced at
Astley's, in London, and the Saturday Review
heads a notice of lt with, "Impropriety for the
Million."
-John Jay, ?he last survivor or thc regiment to
which Wellington addressed the famous words,
"Up, guards, and at them," has just died In Lon?

-The Court journal says: -In London there
exist 86 ancient and now useless charities for the
relier or poor persons imprisoned for debt, some
of which have been in existence since the fif?
teenth century."
-Figaro, having visited thc patent oQlce and
interviewed a crowd of Inventors, has come to the
conclusion that a venerable old axiom ought to
be reversed, so as to read, "Invention ls the
mother of necessity."
-An advertisment in a late Vicksburg paper
reads as follows: "The man who bet a box of ci?

turned out a girl, had better come and pay me Tor

and let the public know who the unfortunate

-Harper's Bazar, treating of the effect or sim?
plicity in the midst or elaborate and expensive
artifice, says: "Let a young woman, with no
hair but her own, and that simply dressed, enter
a room filled with those whose, heads are elabor?
ately built up with a profusion of purchased
locks, and see who will be most admired. It is a
great advantage for a woman, in these days or
artifice, to remain herself, and thus be unlike
every one else. A simple dress, white or black,
will produce the greatest effect when surrounded
by the most gorgeous costumes. These serve, as
lt were, as trames for the former, and women
are often forced to confess that they have draped
themselve9 magnitlcently, at an immense ex?
pense, for no other purpose thau to heignten by
contrast the beauty of a rival. In ract, they have
been wearing a dress which is very becoming to?
others."
