Property on the north side of Fayette street, near Eu taw, has been secured for the erection, with every modern elegance, of an opera house suitable for aU first-class amusements, but especially adapted to musical perfor? mances. Tbe-lot has a front eighty-three feet and a depth of one hundred, and fifty-five. The location ls accessible from all portions of the city by the city passenger cars, and it has long - been thought a desirable point for a place ot public amusement. The building will be as large as a proper regard for acoustics^ and optics will permit, similar to Wa il ac k's, New York; and" Selwyn'*, Boston. Mr. Jefferson -wiU be one of the directors, and Mr. JohnT. Ferd wlU have the management. -As Brigham Young grows older, with more wives and more children, and the latter reach? ing the age when dress is naturally a promi? nent matter with thea, the persistency with which ho denounces fte fashions of the Gen? tile world demonstrates the fact that he feels one of the burdens which must Inevitably come with such a lar ?o family. In his last sermon before the conference his Instructions to the Saints were very decided in tone. He classed the entire range of fashions as devices of the .wicked, bonnets, dresses, boots and parasols, ail to be condemned by tho.se of the true faith; and when he. asked the ladies to signify their determination to make their own clotbes) and not to make them in the fashion, the Tabernacle was white with upraised hands. If Brigham Young can array thesenttre female population of his dominion in opposition to the fashions as they receive them from the East, he will accomplish a greater feat than he did in planting the barren soil of Utah and building up a colony there? for his opposition is not to fashions as they exist at present, but to fashions at all; and in attacking the right of woman to change the1 size of her bonnet or the length of her skirt, he Impeaches one of ber most inalienable privileges. -It is painful to notice that at lengUt Mr. Greeley has become a consenting party^fo an outrage on a colored citizen and a voter. Io giving an account of the election in New York City, the Tribuue chuckles over the "iyax eyed sharpness'' with which colored Demo? crats were watched at the polls, and details j Tvith especial unction how one negro, who voted the Democratic licker., was "punched in the head for his stupidity." Now punching In the head is sometimes considered assault and battery in New York, and if administered to any other* than a Democratic negro in a Southern State, would be ample cause for mil? itary occupaUon, and perhaps a scathing edi? torial la the Tribune. Why the fact that a col? ored man votes the Democratic ticket should deprive him of all bis civil rights regarding bead-punching ts not clear, although the levity of Mr. Greeley on the subject certainly shows that it ta morally the correct thing. To quote on similar occasions, this is evidently not an error of the heart, but of the head. Mr. Gree? ley's heart is with the negro; he has often said so, and we believe him. But his head is else? where, and it was a head that was punched. -Some people thought that nothing more was necessary to insure a short cut to the East Indies than to open the Suez Canal. It was pointed out at the time that there were other things to be considered-the cost of the tolls, and above all thc almost insuperable difficul? ties connected with the navigation of the Red Sea. Thc commentary on these warnings has j soon returned. Several vessels which availed themselves of the "short cut" have indeed ar? rived at Calcutta, but lu a lamentable plight. A Sunderland steamer reached port with every stoker dead. Several other vessels have lost a large proportion of their hands. On the "P. and 0." steamers, natives only are employed as stokers-and even they often succumb to the intolerable heat. They are sometimes hauled up on deck perfectly in? sensible, or jump overboard in a flt of mad? ness. There ls not a breath of air at such times In this fearful sea; rain has perhaps not, fallen for several years; and even the young and the vigorous find all the vital powers tried to the severest limit. When vessels are sent on the journey without any preparation for it whatever, there is only one thing to be antici? pated-great mortality among the crew, if not total loss of the vessel among the reefs. Action ! Action ! Action ! Two general plans of action may be ex? pected to be submitted to the State Reform Convention, which assembles in Columbia next month. The essential point of one plan is, to make no Opposition nominations for Governor and Lieu ten ant-Go ver nor; the main principle of the other plan is, the prompt nomination of able and respectable men who will oppose, on the stump -and in council, the candidates of the Scott party. Neither plan necessarily interferes with the wi3e policy of avoiding, wherever practica? ble, a contest for the Legislature and for county offices. This, then, is the whole question: Shall there, or shall there not, be any opposition to Scott and his associ? ate, as candidates for Governor and Lieu tenant-Governor of South Carolina ? The advocates of "a masterly inactivity" in regard to Governor and Lieutenant-Gov ernor argue that it is impossible to defeat Scott, that it is useless to make a losing fight, and that an active opposition, on the State ticket, to the Scott clique, will consoli? date its adherents and make it impossible to arrange any compromise for members of the Legislature and county offices. These ar? guments, we confess, have no weight with us. Admitting that Scott will be the nomi? nee of the Radical party, and that he will use with his accustomed unscrupulousness the extraordinary powers which he does possess, we are not ready to concede that he cannot be overcome. When he is made to stand before the people in his true colors as the implacable foe of every decent man, his strength will melt away, and those nearest him in official station will not dare to give him their support. But no milk-and-water op? position will defeat Scott. Tbe fight, to be successful, must be hard and sharp, and we believe that the June Convention can, if it will, find a man, who, being heartily sup? ported by the white people of the State, will beat Scott by ten thousand majority. The day can be ours, but waiting and whining will not give us the victory. Nor can we admit that it is uselc&s to make a losing fight. To allow Scott to strut unopposed over the course, is to aban? don the principle of assaulting iniquity and wrong wherever we may find them. This ?ras the spirit which animated our people a few years ago. Then; if our quarrel were just, the people went into the fray, resolved that if they could not command success they would at least deserve it. And this should be our 4haxim flow. The Father of Lies himself, as old legends tell, .was once out? witted, but because this was done shall our people hope to make a profitable bargain with Robert K. Scott ? We are fallen low, in-, deed, if we are to meet lie with lie, trick with trick, wrong with wrong. Better is it a thousand times to make a bold and man? ly fight in the cause of honesty and truth ! And though our candidates were defeated, we would join issue with Rascality and Cor? ruption again and again, until at last vic? tors'smiled upot mr banners: for it must be borne in mic'. Jiat Immigration, and Di? rect Trade, and the encouragement of Man? ufactures, we cannot have unless we REKORM the government of thejState. We have no fear that an opposition to the election of Scott will have any effect in con? solidating and solidifying his party. If we withdraw all opposition, and allow the Ring to say in the whole State, atid in every coun? ty, who shall be elected, there may be a want of solidity, and here and there two Radicals may. oppose each other. But while there is any opposition, in any county, there will be no disintegration of the part}'. That is to say, the leaders of that party will stand by each other, under all circumstances, if there is any prospect of their own downfall. The point that the opposition should make is to drive into the ranks of thc enemy, and appeal not to the gaudy chieftains, but to the rank and file of the voting army. All their interests are on the side of good gov? ernment, if the truth be brought home to them. Of this they can be convinced. And if they aro protected by the whites from the bullying and bellowing of their party over? seers, there will be no lack of recruits in the cause of Reform. Act?on ! Action ! Action ! is what must save the State. Action ! against Scott. Action ! against every man who has made .himself a bargainer with Dishonesty and Fraud. Let thc June Convention put its candidates in the field, and, with proper effort, the day is our own. Without or? ganization, and without concert of action, we can accomplish nothing. And we can have no effective organization, no complete unity of action, if we allow Scott to be re? elected without even a show of light. Who Comes Next ! There was a squirming and wiggling among the Charleston Radicals yesterday. That disagreeable Senator Cain insists upon telling the truth, and his quondam asso? ciates, irritated by this outrageous couduct, say that he, and the Missionary Record, have taken their place in the Citizens' Re? form party. This is pleasant newe. The only qualification for admission to the ranks of the Reform party is just what the revilers of Senator Cain have not got, and that is Moving On ! Charleston and Barnwell have already ap? pointed their delegates to the Reform Con? vention, which assembles in'Columbia on June 15, next, and the following counties have announced that they will hold meetings for the appointment of delegates on the days specified : 1. Union. May 25 2. Orangeburg. .June 6 3. Marion.May 25 4. Williamsburg.June 6 5. Laurens_?.June G 6. Kershaw.June 7. Marlboro'.June 6 8. Spartanburg.June ff' 9. Newberry.June 6 10. Chester.June 6 H. Horry.June Sales-day in June beiug apparently the most generally convenient time for holding county meetings, we suggest that the re? maining counties give notice at once that they will appoint their delegates on that day. The number of delegates appointed in Charleston was equal to double the repre? sentation of the county in both branches of | the General Assembly. In order that the Convention may be both large, and influen? tial, our sister counties are invited to ap? point delegates on the same basis. The Rnin of Republicanism. The New York Sun, a Radical paper, dis? cusses the causes of the Waterloo defeat of the Republican party of New. York, in the State elections which took pince last week. It admits that the New York Republicans are completly demoralized, and that if the party cannot be radically reor-janizcd, it might as well be disbanded. This forlorn condition is due, according to the Sun, to the utter failure of the nationa. administra? tion to redeem the pledges wherewith it ob? tained power, and in part to the incapacity and corruption of its local leaders. It says that from the very start General Grant's administration was a'heavy load upon the party in New York, and th? b?rden has been growing more intolerable with every month that has elapsed since he took the oath of office. He bas shown an utter lack of statesmanship in dealing with the great questions which have come before him ; while his want of all tact in the choice of his confidants, and in the distribution of his patronage in the State of New.-York, proves that he is incapable of rising to tho level of a politician even of ordinary importance. The sooner the Republican party give3 it to be understood that under no possible cir? cumstances can Grant be.its candidate for re-election, the better it will be for that party. Not its future triumph merely, but even its healthy existence, demands that the party reach and publicly announce this deter? mination without delay. What Grant has done in New York, Scott is doiag in South Carolina. Tiie be3t thing for the South Carolina Radicals is to pitch ?jcott overboard and coalesce with thc Re? form Party. _ The Fall Elections. Tlie fall elections this year are to decide not only the character of the next House of Representatives, but also, to a cercain ex? tent, that of the Senate. Twenty senators will be elected by the next State Legisla? tures. The senators whose terms expire on tho lt li nf March next ore Murrill, of Main??; Cragiu, of New Hampshire; Wilson, uf Mas? sachusetts; Anthony, of Rhode Island; Cat tell, of New Jersey; Wilie}', of We3t Virginia; Johnson, of Virginia; Abbott, of North Caro? lina; Robertson, of South Carolina; Fowler, of Tennessee ; Grimes, of Iowa ; Howard, of Michigan: Thayer, of Nebraska; Ross, of Kansas; Yates, of Illinois'; McDonald, of Ar? kansas; Revels, of Mississippi; Williams, of. Oregon; Harris, o? Louisiana; Warner, of Alabama ; Saulsbury, of Delaware; McCree ry, ofKeutucky, -nd Norton, of Minnesota. The outgoing senators are all Republicans, except Saulsbury, McCreery and Norton. The seat of Mr. Fowler has already been filled by a. Democrat, aud that of Mr. Grimes by a Republican. The Democrats will probably loose one senator ia Minnesota, and gain in New Jersey, Oregon, and perhaps one or two Southern States. In niauy of the States the contest will bc spirited, for personal as well u3 for political reasous. Cost ano ? anna. PICKED UP ADRIFT, A FLAT. OWNER can have same by paylngexucnses.
