" -lu San Francisco, a Chinese lady of rank, now there, when out walking is attended by three maids of honor bearing lighted blicks of punk, highly perfumed.

On her head-gracefully waving in the wind-is a flower, which, from the fer tllizing effects oU ls sapposed to have, is Judged to bo Indigenous. Her short, highly colored silk dress is beautifully embroidered, and her feet are encased in the customary - aanoe-shaped sandals." -A Washington letter of Wednesday says : "The question of "the removal of tho capital was pretty well debated last night and pretty effectively settled in the Senate this afternoon by tho adoption of an amendment to the legis? lative biU appropriating haifa million of dollars to build a new State Department. This was carried by nearly three to ene. It will be re? membered that the capital moven have for a long-time intended to bring the matter up on the question of making additional appropria? tions for public works In this district, and have been quite confident that they would prevent -Congress from spending another dollar here in that Une. The discussion In the Senate demonstrated quite clearly that there has been Do serious intention of legislating with a view to remove the capital to the West." -The Women's National 8uffragc Associa? tion held their annual meeting in New York on Tuesday. From twenty to thirty of the most prominent lady members of the associa? tion were present, together with some two ' hundred miscellaneous spectators. Mrs. Stanton addressed the meeting. She thought there was but one way that the several States could procure the suffrage, and that was to thrust the measure continually on Congress until it was successful. For her own part, she had not the stomach to go through thc States and plead for cqnal rights with Patrick and Sambo. She admitted, however, that it was a grand step in advance to have women in the jury box. A better class of lawyers was also needed, as witness thc indecent manage ment of the McFarland case, and that need would never bc supplied until women were admitted to practice at the bar. Mrs. Stanton then paid her respects to the churches and the clergy. The Methodist Church had been the first to strike out the word "obey" from thc ra ar? rive ceremony, anti until the other churches did tho same she hoped all the women would see to it that they should be married only by Methodist clergymen. Tile Sch?tzenfest. On yesterday the King was crowned, and the Sch?tzenfest of 1870 came to a close. A week of mirth and merriment had a joyous and peaceful ending, anti the German Rifle Club now addresses itself, with new life and vigor, to the duties and labors of the year. The generous humor and kindly feeling which marked the festival of twelve months ago, was seen and appreciated by the whole people. Then-perhaps for tho tiret time in this State-the fair-haired German, the swar? thy Frenchmen, the ruddy Englishman, the generous Celt and the native Carolinian, with a common aim, sought and found an innocent relief from the cares of industrial life. The gates of the Schutzenplatz once passed, there was no Germany, no Ireland, no America; the brave men and fair women who made beautiful the grounds, were true cit - zens of South Carolina, and nothing more or less. Questions of .politics or policy did not trouble them. They demanded hearty recreation, and they found it in full measure. No wonder, then, that the memory of the Schulzenfest of 1869 bas been treasured in the hearts of many of the best of our people. To the memory of 1869 we now add that of the festival which on yesterday came to an en*. Comparisons, we know, ?re odious; but thc world moves on, and the Fest of 1870 was even broader and Itfrger and more generous than its honored predecessor. The seed had brought forth fruit. There was no division of sentiment or action. All our people poured out to the Schutzenplatz, and made the celebration, truly aud really, a People's festival. The different races of which this community i3 composed were knit closer together, and if we are now more compact aud homogeneous in thoaght acd desire, it is because of the German Sch?tzen. And, now that the Fest is over, we may be allowed to say that the arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the mul? titudinous throng were in every way com? plete, and thal the whole festival does honor to this old City of Charleston, among whose citizens we number with pride the big-hearted, generous men who, in loving South Carolina, io not forget the glories and the promise of lear Fatherland. Oar Political Duty. Timely and sagacious word3 are these 'rom the Columbia Phoenix : Wo" citizen can, with propriety, evade Iiis political duties. Wc know that some good men are disposed to shrink from the unconge aial field of political contest, and to try to .econclle this course of action with the die ates of dnty. But it is impossible for us to i -eallze how any citizen, living in the Slate, can 1 livest himself of his obligations to exercise j ill the influence that he can command in be- ? lalf of an economical, honest and intelligent ; ^ministration of our State and County affairs. )uring the present year, In this State, a Gov irnor and a Lieutenant-Governor, members to * he Slate Legislature and members to Con? gress are to bc elected. As usual, two parties viii doubtless be in the field. As to one party he Radical party-that, we presume, ls now veil organized. As for the opposition, we enn ?ot say as much. It is very generally consul? ted that thc political and legal rights of the reedmen arc to bc freely and fairly conceded, ind that no issue is tc bf* made upon these K)lnts. This wc hold to bc right and proper. a thc political world wc must move on to ields of new endeavor, and make the tight for i reformed State government on honorable jroumls. It is also conceded that an effort is :o be made to array against tho present regime xii the elements of opposition thal can be mus? tered against lt. This is obviously the true policy. It may be said that South Carolina, politically analyzed, is divided into two groat basses, to wit : lite UOHBEKS and thc KOIJUKD. The problem before us in the coming canvass ?ems, however, to be susceptible of several lolutlons, Judging from thc numbers engaged n thc solution aud the several plans proposed. )f one thing we are certain. We need onjani ?ation and concert of action. To effect this we teem if essential for the people who desire ro? om and protection and development to meet md compare views. Bonce we hope that the >roposition for the-June Convention will bc icceptcd in every county, and that an organ zed and vigorous effort will be made in the Inc of action adopted.1' MoYtntr on the Same Line. Louisiana is organizing under tbe name >f "The People's Party" a reform movement irecisely analogous to that which has been nitiated lu South Carolina. The New Or? eaos Times thus sketches its drift : "It is evident to every reflecting citizen that he present rule is a most corrupt, incompe ent nnd demoralizing one; that it is dcslruc Ive alike ol the honor, the credit and peace if tho State, and that Louisiana will never ank among the decent, respectable and hon irable communities of thc civilized world intil it expels from office and power the igno ant, venal, mongrel crew who now fill the ughest offices in the govern meut. It is on his conviction the People's party is organ zed, with a view of reclaii ling the govern nent and thc offices from di ?hottest and viru ent partisans, and restoring them to citizens >f character, ol' integrity, aud of the requisite :apac:ty to administer the same honestly, in, elligently and efficiently " y-"But three To make a new Therraopylo." OUR facetious friends of the Sumter Kews, 1 ?ho have beeu zealously ': keeping thc run " t the journals of tho State which still cling ? o the idea of a straight-out Democratic gilt, now bewail thc fact that the Spartan j land is at last reduced to three, to wit : The iumter tfeics, the Darlington Democrat anti he XIX Century. As for thc last, if thal ie a South Carolina journal, we can only idvise it, for consistency's sake, either to 'move on," or to change its name. if matinal. ANTED.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention jf the public to our Superior Plavorlng Extracts. Aa ten years have now elapsed since we first In? troduced them to the notice 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 elty or town of any note in the country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and Intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day. we have stlU further improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a h val. Our Vanilla Extract cannot bc surpassed for richness and lelicacy of flavor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least, ;his ls the decision of the best judges in the coan :ry. Wc don't pretend to compete In price with nany of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the lay, which are really bat worthless compounds, indeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
