Upon the eve of publication he abandoned the scheme to his brother, but the public generally considered him the chler editor. He combats this opinion by thc following ?et ter : Sir-I am supposed in varions quarters io have as great as secret a share In the publication of La 1 Concorde. I am persuaded such a way of acting ( would be attributed to me by nobody acquainted with me; but I owe lt to the public to declare the rumor groundless. Unquestionably my sympa? thies are with aworfc In which, my own brother ls engaged, and which promises to add new strength to the cause of religion and liberty. This 1 cause is more than ever mine; but there are du*- 1 ferent ways of serving lt, and I am desirons to re- ? main in the silence which my conscience laid me ( under at the commencement of the crisis we are going through. "Humble thy heart, and await 1 patiently," saith the inspired book, "and hasten ( thee not on *.he day of darkness."

Don Francois gets ?8000 a year, tied up tight! but the ex-Queen retains the rest. As they always appeared to bc on the best possible ' terms, and were more polite than the average of < wives and husbands, lt ls hard to say why they 1 wished for a separation ; but so lt was. Accidents wiU happen, we know, in the best regulated fami? lies. It seems to me a pleasant hotel blotted ont of the list of oar entertainers. Yon know the history or the Hotel Basllewskl-it is so good I ; must repeat lt. The Russian Don from whom lt takes its name spent so much money on the stone and cement that he had none left for furniture, or . even bread and cheese; so he took lodgings, went In for 'Spaniards,' and landed a coup. The young Prince has, I see, secured a waif or stray of ?120, OOO ont of the wreck of Spain. The ex- King con? sort has temporarily taken a ground floor in thc Rue des Ecuries d'Artois." -The McFarland trial was continued on Wed? nesday. The insanity business was still under consideration. One of the Jurymen compared lt to a long and tedious sermon, of which everybody was tired. Edward P. Nlver, night watchman of tbe city prison, testified to thc general sleepless? ness or the prisoner; Trequently saw a light burn? ing late at night ta the cell or thc prisoner. He often complained thet he could not sleep. Dr. Hammond's examination was then resumed. Witness repeated that he came to the conclusion that the congestion of the brain with which the prisoner suffered was the cause of his having com? mitted the deed. All the indications of the prisoner's case led the witness to the opinion that McFarland was Insane at the time. He thought that if the prisoner had kept away from the Tri? bune office he would no; have been likely to ex? plode, as he did. After Dr. Hammond's testimony the defence rested the case. The prosecution then called Horace Greeley and began their evi? dence in rebuttal of the theory or Insanity. -The New Orleans Price Current, In discussing the prospects of sugar culture in Louisiana, says that the Increase In the number of acres under cultivation ls from nrteen to twenty per ceut over the area planted last year. The wan: of au adequate supply of laborers continues to be a great drawback, for while some planters arc pretty well supplied with help, there are a great many who will be unable to properly cultivate the ground which they have planted, and who wUl, or course, be still worse off when lt comes to gathering the crop. In some parishes many laborers have been obtained from the more northern of the southern States, but this supply has been in a measure counterbalanced by thc migration of old and experienced tillers of sugar fields to the adjoining cotton districts where thc system or working on shares ls more In vogue. The planters are said to bc pushing forward their field work as rapidly as possible, cossidcring thc disadvantages under which they labor; and Should the season continue favorable, a large in? crease In the sugar product or the State is an? ticipated. -Tile New Tort Tribune says: '-lt is now a weU understood fact that General Thomas Jordan, lately at the head of the Cuban army, ls at Nassau, and win, In a few days, reach our city. The rea. sons that move him to come are these: lu thc first place, the contract entered Into between Jordan and the Junta was only for one year's term of service. Thc General positively reruscd to agree to contract for a longer term, but thc con trac', was tefl opea to renewal on his part, as be arie the Coban Junta at Mew York should agree. The one year's service expired in February last. At the beginning of the year the Junta sent oat to C?spedes a copy of the contract with Jordan, which, lt ls Insisted, has been fully complied with. The Jnnta, in sending the letter to thc President of the Republic, stated that they would continue to pay the sum stipulated tu the original con? tract with Jordan so long as he should remain with the army. Mr. J. Morales Lemus, the Cu? ban Envoy, believes that the presence of Jordan here at this time will be of great service to his cause, as he esteems him a man or ability and character, fully informed or the relative strength or thc two contending parties In Cuba. Thc Time for the Convention. Since the sanguine days of the convention, which, in December, 18G0, met in St. An? drew's Hall, and, in obedience to the popu? lar will, hurled South Carolina and, we may say the whole South, into the mighty con? flict which was doomed to so disastrous an issue, this State has seen no public body as? semble so potent in its influence upon our future weal or woe as will be the convention which is to gather in Columbia iu June. It will not, properly speaking, represent any mere political party. It will be, iu the fullest and truest sense, a Convention of THE PEO? PLE. It will be the organized protest of the suffering taxpayers, rich and poor, black and white, against the unbridled rascality, corruption and extravagance which have made the Government of South Carolina a b3'-word of reproach everywhere, and which, unless promptly checked, threaten the State with utter and irretrievable ruin. Whatever, at this moment, may be the doubts or the fears among good men and honest journals, it is certain that the movement which the convention will represent must ultimately enlist the support of every class of our peo? ple who have the intelligence and discern? ment to choose between the rule of a gang of thieves and plunderers and a government of honesty and decency. Its declaration of principles ought to be, and we believe will be, so broad and liberal, that it caa have ab? solutely no foes but the public robbers, who now riot in our high places, and the army of their venal and degraded followers. And if the men whom the convention shall choose as its standard-bearers be such as to show that its resolves are no hollow sham, or cun? ning cheat, the path is open to an easy, as* sured and glorious victory. Such being its origin, purposes and pros? pecta, can the convention meet too early ? We think not. There should be not a day, not an hour of delay, beyond the interval that may be necessary- to allow the people of the counties, white and colored, to cast about for the best men to send as their spokesmen to Columbia Once the line of battle is fairly drawn, the sooner the light begins the better for the State. We court a long and active contest. Let us put our candidates in the field, upon a platform that must command the support of every good citizen, and each day that passes will add to the strength and compactness of our organi? zation and increase the chances of our de? liverance. The movement, inchoate as it is, has already struck terror to the hearta of the pack of knaves, who arc gorged with the people's money, and were busily hatching new and vaster schemes of ofllcial pluuder; and even their paid trumpeter makes no secret of its alarm. Let the People continue to move, in solid column, as they are mov? ing, and Public Dishonesty in South Caro? lina will meet its death blow at their hands >n the Fifteenth of June. The Teat Oath. Senator Sawyer's bill, which has passed he Senate, prescribes the oath to be taken . jy Southern men who aided the Confederacy, \ ind who do not come within thc disabilities ; >f the Fourteenth amendment, so that here- < titer any one of them may hold a Federal i jflice by taking the new oath. 1 This is a stride in tho right direction, and, 1 or his efforts in the liberal cause of Enfran- 1 ihisement and Justice, Senator Sawyer is mtitled to the thanks of the Southern people. THE Winnsboro' News takes the broad 1 -round that the adoption by South Carolina 1 )f a straight-out Democratic Federal policy ?viii "undoubtedly cause Conservative Re " publicans, who, though not numerous at " present, are men of independent and ster " ling character, to vote with the Radicals," and argues that if the June Convention " cannot give Grant at leas?1 a passive sup " port," it had better not attempt to ignore Federal politics. As we have 6aid before, we see no reason why the convention should hot declare that the new Reform movement is not in opposition to Federal Republican? ism, but is a temporary organization for State purposes alone. THE Walhalla Courier makes the point that it is the energy, industry and economy of our people, and not the acts of the State Government, which have improved the pub? lic credit of South Carolina. .TheSlate bonds have been lifted in price by the efforts of the people. What we owe the present government is an increase in the State debt of EIGHT MIL? LION DOLLARS, in one short year. As AN evidence of Southern progress, it is stated that the two Carolinas, Georgia and Florida have twenty great railroads in pro? gress of construction, while Delaware, Mary? land, West Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama have about forty. These are additional to the roads already complete and in opera? tion in these States. WHITTEMORE, in a speech delivered at Sumter a few days ago, said that he wanted '? no convention of tricksters to decide hts " cas?. He intended to go before the mosses "of the people." This will do. But the Radical sachems dare not order an election, so afraid arc they lest a CITIZEN'S REFORM candidate should defeat "Wicked Ben." PRESIDENT GRANT will not commit himself to the support of Free Trade, but he t3 said to be "in favor of reducing the tariff and " the excise duties just so far as the revenues '. of the government would perm'iL" This is very good, indeed, a3 far a3 lt goes. So, it lias leaked out that Jordan having " retired in good order" from the lead of the Cubans in arms, is on his way li o mc war?'. We predict that he will never return to the Ever-Faithful Isle. HUGH R. PLEASANT*, one of the oldest and ablest writers connected with the Vir? ginia press, died in Richmond on Wednes? day last. I Population and Manufactures. Our free trade coadjutor, the Winnsboro' News, says that: "Next to free trade, the " establishment of cotton manufactories for " spinning and coarse cloths is the most "practical measure of immigration. If it " were not true that we have a margin " of profit of five cents on each pound in " our favor over all the world in this branch " of manufacturing, we would not urge it. "But we have. And it is far more feasible " to bring in remunerative manufacturing " colonies, than scattering agricultural la " borers, which is what our planters wish. " Indeed, get the population here, and they " will furnish employment as well as labo " rers to our farmers, aud voters on the " side of better government. Now, the "only obstruction to this plan of proceed " ing is our own apathy and indisposi " tion to combine with others iu business ar " rangements. This brauch of manufactur " iug business is far surer than planting, " and its proGts come to those engaged in " it quarterly at least, if not monthly. It " would flourish more vigorously under a " revenue tarin", than under the obstructive " system protective of foreign shipping and "commerce now in vogue; but it can be "commenced profitably immediately, and "in Georgia at least, is already a rapidly " growing branch of industry. In thi3 mat "ter, we obstruct ourselves. Time, how " ever, that cures all things, will cure us, " before long, of isolation from one another, " and of consequent ignorauce, and of pov " erty, the fruit of isolation and ignorance." Revenue Reform. What will be the fate of the Tariff bill is not yet certain, but there is no doubt that the revenue reformers in Congress believe that the injustice of th? present tariff, and the odious attempt to make it still worse, will give them ground enough to move on in their battle next fall. For, though the Schenck bill may be defeated, its authors will not be able to avoid in the canvass the odium of the extortious which they have at? tempted in it The preseut Congress was, when it was elected, or when it first met, more vehem? ently protectionist than any of its predeces? sors ; but its members have felt tho immense and wonderful changes which have taken place in the opinions of the country on this question. The rule of the pig-iron interest is broken; Pennsylvania threatens where she used to command, and Pennsylvania threats begin to be laughed at. The Washington correspondent of the New York Post, writing from a Republican stand? point, sketches the situation in these words: "A meeting of leading revenue reformers in Washington from all parts ol the country, ex? cept the Southern States, has shown to those who took part in it the strength of the revenue reform movement, and has surprised many among them. The persons present at this gathering were for Wie most part Republicans. To a question asked of the Western Republi? cans, whether they would support revenue re? formers for thc next Congress, regardless of party ties, the answer came, immediate and positive, that thc question was irrelevant, be? cause in the States of Illinois, Missouri, Indi? ana and Iowa, the Republicans would nomi? nate :io one who was not distinctly pledged to revenue reform. "In the New England States thc strong hope for revenue reform rests on thc feeling of the leading manufacturers themselves, who see that while the market for their products has been narrowed, the price of their raw materials has been largely increased by thc monopolist tariff; and see, moreover, the Schenck bill threatening them with still further exactions md discriminations. Thc wool manufacturers, for instance, representing fifteen millions of capital, who, under the lead of Edward Harris, have signed a protest against the wool tariff, will not fail lo put this question into thc fall canvass; so will tho paper-makers, who sec the duty on their raw material, jute butts, in? creased by the monopolists; thc boot and shoe manufacturers, who are denied cheaper hides; the edge tool, bolt, hinge and cutlery manufac? turers, who 6ce themselves robbed by in? creased duties on scrap iron and steel, have learned that they arc not sale from ruin unless they join the revenue reformers In defeating thc monopolists. "As for such States as New York and Ohio, the cause ol' revenue reform need not fail there; and Indeed cannot, lor tho few votes needed to turn out the monopolists, or at least most of them, representing those States in this Congress, are already secure. "Observe that Schenck and Bingham, the leaders of the 'protection1 robbery of the peo? ple, hold their seats by less than live hundred votes each. A change of two hundred and . fifty votes in each of their districts will drive them outland put revenue reformers in their places. Who that knows how opinion has be? come enlightened among the people during thc last year on the subject, doubts that these men arc serving their last terra In Congress ? If tho Republicans renominate them, they will give the districts to the Democrats. "In the twelve Ohio districts a change of six thousand five hundred votes will send revenue reformers to thc next Congress, in the place of the protectionists who now represent them. It ls true, If thc Republicans put up protec? tionists, the revenue reformera will be Demo? crats; but if thc Republican party becomes the party of privilege and robbery, it must expect defeat. "In New York eight members of thc present Congress who are protectionists can be easily turned out; and if the New Jersey Republicans do not nominate revenue reformers, they will next fall give these districts to thc Democrat*, who will."

There is hardly a'elty or town of any note in til country into which they have not found the: way. The reason of this widespread popnlarti and dally increasing demand ls owing entirely ? their peculiar excellence and intrinsic wort Being determined to make them the Standard E tracts of the day, we have still further impror their quality, and now we firmly and honestly 1 lleve that they stand without a rival.
