John Morrissey, in New York, is under the ban with j the rest ol them, and has a policeman at the door to wura nn wary strangers away? -Paper napkins ror table use have Just been in? troduced into the restaurants or Germany. They answer every parp?se for one using. Three or . shem cost less than a cent. -The monuments to ex-President Lincoln, and - the denial of a pension to his widow in need, ls a very g >oJ illustration of asking tor bread and getting a stone. -The Postmaster-General says it the bill abol? ishing the franking privileges is passed, he will be able to reduce letter postage from three to two cen ts per hair ounce. -The latest intoxicating fluid out ls made in Tennessee of sweet potatoes. Practical experi? menters say it goes further, lasts longer and makes a quicker and more enduring fuddle than j any other lightning liquid now in use. -Judging from the "mountain of work" before j Congress, the prospects are not very flattering for an adjournment hy the 4th of July, or even hy -early fall. Out of 3102 bills and 283 joint resolu? tions originating In the House daring the current" 1 - session, only 267 ef the former have passed. Of the joint resolutions, 73 have passed. In thu Sen-1 ate 893 bills and 192 joint r?solutions have been I Introduced, of which number only 219 bills and 79 resolutions have passed. A comparatively small number of meas ares have been rejected or indefi? nitely postponed; the rest are pending. The ex? hibit proves at onoe the clumsy incapacity of . - either house to deal with such a mass of legisla? tion. ? -Brownlow says he would improve the rivers and harbors, and propose to build railroads by the Federal Government, without regard to any section-East, West, North or South. "Had I my way. r would Instruct the Government of the rjuited States to form a strong central govern? ment here In the District of Columbia, and organ? ize the States as so many colonies or corporations 83 absolutely dependent upon and subject to the will of the central power. Many States would J wipe out and extirpate the whole pretence of State rights and State sovereignty, to which wo aramalnly indebted for the late rebellion. While I only speak for myself, I believe Congress and the country are looking in the same direc- I tton." -Under the head of "Chess-Playing Extraordi? nary." tho New York Harald says: "On Saturday evening-the opening night or thc Brooklyn Chess Club at their new rooms, No. 280 Fulton street eight players (members of the club) Inaugurated . a feat at chess which bas, probably, never been paralleled, 'which was to play a game of chess, blindfold, four players on each side, and each player to make a move in his tnrn, without COL* suiting his colleagues. Three games were con? tested tn this manner, and two of the number were beautifully played. .The contestants were Messrs. Richardson, Captain Mackenzie. E. Del? mar and Dr. Barnett, opposed to Messrs. Hun? zinger, Gllberg. Marachi and J. A. DeCon. Thc first game waa won by Messrs. Bienzlnger and 1 ?mes, the second and third by Messrs. Mackenzie : and allies. The blindfold skUl exhibited by every one bf the eight players lu these three games ls deserving of great praise. The performance was applauded vociferously by aU present" "-TtrOgold mmes of Virginia are being once 1 mor? worked to advantage. A number of Phlla- , delphlans haye bought land In the neighborhood of Frederlcksbnrg, the Wilderness, Spot tay I vania and. Orange Courthouses, and it is estimated that ' capital to Ute amount of haifa million douars, in the hands of companies and private individuals, 1 has been invested in the business of digging and : washing gold. Property la Fredericksburg und , ita vicinity la advancing m price, railroads are building In various parts of Virginia, and there 1 ls at least a certainty that the unequalled resonr- j1 oes ef that commonwealth will be developed. The mere bus tn ess of collecting sumac and preparing it for a* market ls giving employment to many hands In Northeastern Virglnta,the product in 1869 or ten mills alone having been twenty, eight hun-1 1 dred tons. These facts concern more than the inhabitants ortho state Immediately benefltted. and their neighbors on the North, ror as the in- , dnstrles of the South grew and multiply, thc burden of national taxation will everywhere < grow lighter. -Eight lucky people' In New Jersey and New York are rejoicing over their good fortune, hav? ing just "rallen heirs" to an estate in Scotland, variously estimated at from twenty to thirty mil? lions of dollars. The-person who gave the inror matlon to the "heirs" was a man named Smith, who makes lt his business to look after and col? lect claims or Mils kind. Some of the heirs are in good circumstances, but most of them are poor, and when the news of their vast inheritance In ' the old country reached their ears they could not I believe le was true, and for a time nothing was J ' done, and the matter was dropped. One of the ? pact/, however, wrote to a prominent member of i the Bouse ef Lords,'England, making Inquiries as to waother an j such estate bad been left. lu the cour, e or two or three months he received an answer, stating thai such an estate had been ' lef. to William Innis, and that ir the heirs could prove their claim there would be bat little diffi? culty in getting their money. Since then one of the heirs bas visited England, and found that both the statement of Smith and that contained in thc J letter were true. -Ex-Prcaident Johnson ls quietly ensconced at j ' his home In Greenvale, Tenn, lt Is, perhaps, no ' 1 secret te well-informed persons that Mr. John" son, during his long service in public lire, suc? ceeded tn saving a fair share from his salaries. He is now in *ery easy circumstances-and, In fact, in his section might well be called a wealthy man. The ex-President and lady live lu the old residence at Greenville, near the former tailor shop, where many years ago the good people or j Greene County went to have their homespun fitted and made to order. In returning to his old home he Ands many familiar faces to welcome his retaru. ne spends most of his time in study ; writes a great deal, ann it is generally supposed that he con? templates publishing a book which shall bc a de? fence or his administration. He has many visi? tors rroni a distance, and during court sessions his house ls daily filled from early morn till night by his friends from the country, who think him the greatest man ot the age. It ls believed in Greenville that he contemplates establishing a bank, having recently purchased a large block or buildings. He ls said to have sufllclent means Tor such an enterprise, and ha3 boen frequently urged to do so for the convenience or the busi? ness men or that and adjoining towns. The Public Sleeting on Monday. The hundreds of names attached to the call for a Mass Meeting, printed in another column, is a sufficient evidence of the ear? nest desire of our people to band themselves together for carrying out the great work o? RETRENCHMENT and REFORM. Among the signers of the call are whites and blacks, mechanics aud merchants, old line Whigs, staunch Dem?crata, and conscientious Re? publicans, wealthy capitalists and sturdy workingmen. AU classes, and all national? ities, and all races, join in the movement to give to South Carolina an able and honest government-awake to the spirit of the age and the wants of the times, and which shall represent with fidelity and justice all condi? tions of the people. The call expresses with force and clearness the basis of action of the new Reform movement. Its corner-stone is a recognition of the civil and political equal? ity of all citizens of the State, and the right of all citizens, irrespective of race or color, to hold public office. But it goes beyond this, ? and declares that those who co-operate in tho movement sink all questions of Republican? ism and Democracy, and are willing, as good citizens and honest men, to work harmoni? ously and energetically for the good, not of j Party, nor of Class, nor of Color, but for the good of the whole State and THE WHOLE PEOPLE. This is as it should be. When the common aim is a pure and equal govern? ment, wc must forget sectional and party dif? ferences, and labor heartily together for the peace and prosperity of this fair land of our birth or our adoption. We notice that no name is given to this new movement, and this, also, seems to us eminently" wise and expedient. The Jane Convention should be untrammelled by the action of any one county. What is desired is to unite the whole State, und whatever name and whatever policy may be adopted will, we hope and believe, meet with cordial and unan? imous support. Let the organization be called the Reform Party or the Labor Party, or the Carolina Party, or the Citizeus' Party-any? thing but the Republican Party or the Dem? ocratic Party-and we can all go to work to make the movement speedily and decisively successful. The Mass Meeting will be held at the Hi? bernian Hall OR Monday night, and we ear? nestly exhort all our people to turn out as one man, so that the movement may go forth from Charleston to our sister counties, not ns the offspring of any clique or coterie, but as the spontaneous uprising of the whole people Above all, let the mechanics and workingmen, and the adopted citizens of the State, attend the meeting in force. Let them raise their voices, with emphatic power, for equal representation and a liberal and progressive administration of thc affairs of | the Stale. The Net-a of Reform. No attempt has been made by the State officials to rebut the charges of waste and extravagance brought against the Scott ad? ministration. We have shown by statistical statements, based upou official reports, (li) that the geueral expenses o11 the State government for 1870 are SCH,890, against $154,800 in 18G7; (2,) that thc amount paid out for saluries hos risen from S50,000 to the monstrous sum of $167,000; (3,) that the expenditures fer the year 18G9 ?vere more titan half a million dollars in ex? cess of thc estimates; and (4,) that the debt 3f the State, direct and indirect, which was 86,000,000 in 1868, is now more than S14, 900,000. These figures cannot be gainsaid. They are taken from the official reports of | the Comptroller-General and State Treasu? rer, and if we need another instructive les? son, we find it in the same reports, in the ?kape of a comparison of the actual expendi? tures of the State government in 18C8 aud 1669. During both years the Scott party was in power, and the official figures show the sweeping rate at which the State is driven on to bankruptcy: ACTCAL EXPENSES. Year ending Tear ending Oct. 31, 1888.

Thc cost o' carrying on the government wat aear'.y doubled in one year. No wonder that1 taxation i3 excessive ; no wonder that the working man cries in vain for the means of earning a livelihood; no wonder that thc whole people demand RETRENCHMENT and REFORM. The Tribune on Whittemore. The New York Tribune takes it for grant? ed that Mr. B. F. Whittemore, lately expell? ed from Congress, or threatened witli ex? pulsion, for selling West Point cadetsbips, will be returned by his constituents, and adds: "But is it not a question whether he "should be admitted? Ought not Mr. Whit "temore to address that query to himself, "and will not the House give it its attention "and thought?" IN announcing the approaching election in the First Congressional District of South Carolina, the Washington correspondent of the New York Times says: "Whittemore ?3 "himself a candidate, and the .probabilities "are that he will be elected. A portion of "the colored people will, however, run one "of their own race against him. This is the "information at the War Department from "Governor Scott." It is pleasant to know that .^General" Scott sticks to his old army ways, and still duly reports to tho War De? partment what is going on hereabouts. Sparta nb urg in Linc. Spartanburg is to hold her meeting-for the appointment of delegates to the Columbia Convention on sales-day in June. The Spar? tan pithily says: "Every honest and Intelligent citizen must sicken with disgust in retrospecting the civil and political history of the State for the last two years. Ruin, moral, social, political and financial, will be the inevitable consequence unless honest men of all parties rally to the res? cue at thc next election. We are pre pared to give our support to any candidate of any par? ty who can marshal the strongest force to de? feat the corrupt administration which is now rushing the State into bankruptcy, financial and moral."
