Le Baron Peyn:sser~publiahed last year. The military, expon;es were 1,446,000 francs; the civil oaly 145,000 Lrancs; those of the Em? peror's household 750,000 francs, from May 1, 1814, to June 3, 1815. -the land sates of the Union Pacific Rail? road are now averaging nearly forty thousand dollars a. month. The total sales to date amount to about eight hundred thousand dol? lars. . The average, per acre ls about foo* dol? lars fed a half. These facts show that the re? striction Congress proposes to apply to the lands of the Northern Pacific, at two dollars and a half per acre to actual settlers, ls rather below than above the prices of the other road. -The bill which passed (he Senate yesterday morning, after a continuous session of eigh? teen hoars, to enforce the Fifteenth amend? ment, is o?' sdeh a stringent character that lt ls notaoceptable to the author of the original measure which passed the House, and when it is take-up there a non-concurrence will be moved. One of the remarkable leatures of the bill ls contained in the 8th section, which gives the United States marshals the power to cai! on the land and naval forces ot .thc United ?States to assist them In case of resistance. Even "Republican members of the House de? clare that this provision is such a palpable vio? lation of the constitution, that they will not vote Tor it; A modified bill, merely Imposing pains and penalties, for preventing colored . persons from voting, is nicely to come out of this disagreement between the two houses. -The Saturday Review, speaking of Mr. Bright's "Women's Disabilities Bill," says: "It Is nonsense to ring the changes on Florence Nightingale and Harriet Martlncau, when what ia meant ls women In the consulting room and dissecting-room, women in Parlia? ment, women In the pulpit, women at the bar, women on the jury, women free, not only to contract, but to dissolve the ' marriage tie as they please. And it is not so much nonsense, as something worse than nonsense, to say that because we do not permit women to go to the poUlng-booth, therefore, In England, we only .class them with felons, Idiots, lunatics, out? laws and minors. Mr. Jacob Bright has often avowed that he wants to assimilate our socia state to that happy land, the home of free love and the Sorosis; bat to assist this blessed state of things, it is simply dishonest for any one to say that English women are now no better off than she-Turks." . -The Mennonites of Prussia, under the stress of a recent addition to Prussian military law which renders it impossible tor them to evade doing military duty, which is incompat? ible with their religious tenets, hare made ar? rangements for emigrating in mass to this country, and are now in treaty for the pur? chase of large tracts of land in Tennessee. This sect, which is more dearly allied to the Baptists than any other Christian church, though it baptizes by sprinkling, was organized in Holland by Menno- Simonis, early in the sixteenth century. Driven thence by persecu? tion, many of them were attracted by liberal inducements offered by Frederick the Great to settle in tho valley of the Vistula, where, by dint of ditching, dyking and draining, after the manner ol their native land, they trans? formed a district of some 180 miles of swamp Into the most fertile spot in Germany. Their number in Germany in 1856 was stated at 18, 000; of those in this country-most largely in Pennsylvania-we have no more recent date than the census of 1860 affords, which gives their number at 36,2S0; and it is stated that they now number throughout the world not less than 200,000-thc great mass of the sect being in Holland and Russia. Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. It is rumored in Radical circles that the Scott Ring are well satisfied with the pro? ceedings in Judge Melton's Court in regard to the attempted issue of four million dollars of guaranteed bonds of the Blue Ridge Rail? road. The Ring hint that the whole move? ment is a political dodge of the Reform party, who are, according to the Radical oracles, striving to prove the State endorsement of the Blue Ridge Railroad bonds unconstitu? tional, because the success of the great work would be a crowning glory to the pres? ent administration. This is very funny, but, from the Scott stand-point, perfectly natural. The motion for an injunction to restrain the issue of the Blue Ridge bonds was made by private citizens of the State, who took their stand upon the State Constitution, as interpreted by the legal lights of the ad -ministration party. There waa no party feeling in the movement, nor have the Oppo? sition press made it a sectional or political question. There was, however, a good fir?ason for the commencement of the pro? ceedings, although that reason may not be appreciated by the ruling clique and their abettors. The endorsed bonds of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company were about to be put on the market as bonds for whose payment, principal and interest, the State of South Carolina is responsible. It had been an? nounced over and over again that the Gene-, ral Assembly had no-power to saddle upon the State such a liability. But the bonds were about to be issued, and in order that Northern or European capitalists might not be swindled, in order that the good name of the State might not be imperilled, a case was made, under the constitution, to test the validity o? the issue. This was the sole purpose or the application for a temporary injunction to restrain the issue of the bonds, which injunction, at the close of the argu? ments, was granted by the court. We know that the people of the up-coun? try desire the completion of the Blue Ridge Road, but they do not-whatever a few speculators may do-wish to excavate its tunnels or spike its rails with money filched from the pockets of the Northern or Euro? pean public. This may be sentimentalism, but it is true, neverthele?s. A member of the Scott Ring would pooh ! pooh.' these fine scruples, saying: "Get "your money first, and talk about the " honesty of it afterward !" But this is not the principle of action of the Reform party or of the up-country of South Carolina. A Pleasant Prospect. As already announced, the South Caroli? na Institute intend holding a Fair in the vicinity of this city, about the 1st of Novem? ber ne>t, where will be exhibited specimens of the handiwork of our citizens in every de? partment of the mechanic and fine arts, from the great iron automaton, the steam engine, to the delicate tinted photograph; and where will contend, in honorable rivalry, every variety of agricultural production, from the snowy locks of king cotton and the silver haired ramie, to thc humble ruta baga and Carolina yam. Here, too, will be seen beau? tiful contributions of household economy and domestic industry, wrought by the fairy fingers of our uoblc women; and doubtless, too, we shall find there a great variety of live stock, from the spirited thoroughbred to the sturdy roadster; from the short-horn Durham to the Ayreshires, Merinos and South Downs, Irish graziers and Chester whites, game fowls and Brama Pootras. And then there will be fa3t teams and slow teams, sub? soils and twisters, Roller gins and Gullet gins, sewing machines and pianos, jewels of silver and jewels of gold, and the thous? and other beautiful and curious sud inge? nious things not yet thought of. Aud, they say, that commodious buildings at e to be erected on the Washington Race-Course, and that arrangements will be made to take visitors to the grounds by railroad. Aud that there will be a tournament, and that gallant knights will enter the lists from far and near, and that there will be handsome premiums, and a great many of them, anti amusement and instruction and accommo? dation for all. 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 6 S. Kershaw.June 6 7. Marlboro'.June o 8. Spartanburg.June 6 9. Newberry.June 6 10. Chester.June 6 11. Horry.June 6 12. Lexington.June 6 Sales-day io June being 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 thc 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 basa. ' Plain Talk. Senator Cain tells the Scott Ring that they needn't try to coax or bully him into silence, adding significantly that he knows and could reveal enough of their transactions "to hang "them." (Italics his, not ours.) This is strong language, but we believe it to be the truth, nevertheless. It may be that Senator Cain could throw some light on the mystery of the murder of Randolph, the motives for the deed, and the men who really did it. A Call from Lexington. The following call is published iu the Co? lumbia Guardian of yesterday : "The citizens of Lexington, white and color? ed, who are opposed to high taxes and in favor of an honest and economical administration of the State Government, are respectfully invit? ed and requested to meet en masse in the courthouse on Monday, the Gth day of June next. The object of the meeting will be to select delegates to attend the convention of the Citizens' Reform party, which will meet on the 15th of June next, at Columbia. "This notice is given after consultation with and at the request of prominent men from all sections of the county. We urge upon the people the importance of this move, and hope ( that each neighborhood will send at least one representative man. Remember that this is the beginning ol' the fall campaign, when it is hoped that all honest men, white and black, will unite in relieving the State from that offi? cial corruption which is now so injurious to the good and virtuous of all classes and con? ditions." _ _ _ TUE Suedlicher Correspondent, of yester? day, asks why THE NEWS has made no com? ment on tr?e letter of Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken, published tn our columns a few days ago. We answer that THE NEWS lias already given, quite as plainly as our German con? temporary, its, opinion, of the peculiar views expressed by Colonel Aiken in thc Immigra? tion Convention. Common justice demand? ed that we should also print anything that Colonel Aiken might have to say, if he con? ceived himself to have been misunderstood, misrepresented or wronged in any way. This done, we do not see that any good end was to be served by further "discussion of an utterance which had given offence to thous? ands of our best citizens. Nor do we fear that the Germans of South Carolina will have any doubts as to the position or sentiments of TUE CHARLESTON NEWS. READ our special dispatches from Colum? bia in THE NEWS of this morning. Criminals elsewhere, we fancy, will learn with envy how easily their brethreu in South Carolina manage to go Scoir-free ! Thc Magaziucs. THE GALAXY. The June number ?3 fresh, lively and full of interest. Charles Reade's Put Yourselt in his Place is continued. The plot is more and more entangled, and the end seems to be afar off. Mrs. Preston has a lender poem called Fra Angelico. Next comes an article on to? bacco smoking, which will make tho blood of a veteran smoker run cold. Justin McCarthy hos an article on American men and English men. It would have been better to learn something about the millions of Southerners before writing this article. There is no South within the range of Mr. McCarthy's vision. The scandalous articles on Rome are continu? ed. These must be highly edifying to the Catholic readers of The Galaxy. Keeping thc Cash and Two Women arc good sketchy stories. Mr. Thurlow Weed's Reminiscences of thc Rebellion are well worth reading, and thc same may be said of Judge Black's Defence of Edwin M. Stanton. Mark Twain's Memoranda are full of fun and sense.
