A week or two ago the public were charmed to hear they were soon to be visited "by the new "S wedish Nightingale" for jven poor Jenny Lind's soubriquet is taken from her-MBe. Christine NUsson. Since then ;;we have heard that Mlle. Nilsson ls disposed, " as a jockey wo?!d sayrto "fly the track," her reason being that-ahe had discovered that MUc. Adelina Patti, who is also soon toc?me to the United States, was to receive higher terms than herself. The Increased terms were agreed to by Mlle. Nilsson's proposed manager, when Io! lt now appears that Mlle. Patti refuse? to come o ver, clai mi ng that by her own engage? ment, with the same manager, for the follow? ing season, no one was to re?oive terms so ex? travagant as her own. The quarrel, as it stands, is a pleasing one. -A strange tragedy is reported from Tan ceyville, North Carolina: On Saturday even lng, J. w. Ste ve oe, an ex-senator, who had that day attended a public meeting in the town, was missed by his family. Search was ra ade Saturday night all over the place, but without success. On Sunday morning the search was resumed; and after looking every? where else the courthouse was searched. The keys to all the private and jury rooms were found exceptone, and that room was locked. The door was burst open, and Mr. Stevena was found dead, dangling from a beam, with a rope around his neck, and Iiis clothing saturated with blood. A deep gash in his breast showed ?hat he had been stabbed to the heart, and another wound showed that the assassin's dagger had penetrated the unfortu? nate victim's throat. It is supposed that he was inveigled into the room by his assassins on the plea ol business and thon fouiiy mur? dered. No clue to the perpetrators of the bloody deed has yet been obtained. The people of all political opinions express great regret at this horrible occurrence, and active efforts are being made to ferret out the murderers. "WE tind the following paragraph in the "Editorial Workshop*' of the June number of the Nineteenth Century: . "It is time to have done with this foolish? ness. Grave men cannot afford to be led and degraded by an irresponsible Netos sheet, edited by men who declare that they ido not care a-for principie.' " This statement, if it be meant to refer to the editors of TUE CHARLESTON NEWS, is both slanderous and false. The Politics or Religion. While the union of Church and State has been repudiated in this country, there is, perhaps, no nation which is more influenced by moral considerations than ours. The most contemptible politicians affect moral sentiment, of some sort, when they appeal to tho popular suffrage. Whittemore preaches on leisure Sundays, and sometimes even Ben Butler seems piously inclined. During the anti-slavery caepaigu, certain texts, differently interpreted by the two sec? tions, were the watchwords of party. It is a blemisli upon the otherwise careful and exact New Testament version of the Ameri can Bible Union, that one of these disputed renderings ("slave dealers" for "stealers of "men," 1 Tim. 1:10) haa been aimil ted without sufficient classical authority - as haa been shown at large by the recent letter of Dr. Reynolds, of Columbia. The word introduced belongs to the epoch of thc trans? lation more than to that of the original The word "rebel" affords another instauce of the political use of an ethical subject. This term not only prejudges the legality of the late war against the United Staten Gov? ernment, but stigmatizes it as immoral-as such a revolt against authority as the Scrip? tures condemn. The assumption is wholly gratuitous, yet upon this ground lias rested most of the policy of reconstruction. It lias provoked the ungenerous legislation of the last five years-tho Sumner and Morton measures of repression and disfranchisement, against which Senator Sawyer so eloquently protested in the speech published in TFIE NEWS of Saturday. But most curious of all the politico-reli? gious movements is that of free trade. We advocate this doctrine with all our heart3, but must confess that we hesitate to follow the Rev. Henry Blanchard, of New York, who makes it a religion. This popular lec? turer insists that all restrictions upon trade are not only inexpedient, and, in their effect, discriminative between classes, but, further, that they contravene the designs of Provi? dence, which has given different nations their peculiar productions in order to en? courage a kindly spirit and a broad humani? ty. He summons the advocate of protec- , tlon before a dread official to give an ac eount of his misdeeds. We think all this U wrong If practica? ble, politics and religion should be kept quite separate. Thc latter, always sutlers from irreverent handling when it is thrust , into the arena of contending parties. The politician is no more flt to be a religious in- ( ?trnctor than the religious instructor is to be a politician. A political squabble over a Bible and a religious schism over a flag are ; equally absurd and odious. Yet such are , the strange incongruities of American pub? lic life. Speaker Moses lectures on religion. Parson Whitteraorc howls about the cadet ships. And these are representative men ! The Ethics of the Ring. The articles of Senator Cain, priuted in the Afissionpry liecord, exposing the turpi? tude and wrong-doing of the Scott Ring, have attracted, as they deserved, the atten? tion of the public; for it is a rare thing to find a prominent official, especially if he be a col? ored man, bold enough and manly enough to lay. bare the corruption of a party of which he is himself a member. But while the un? compromising attachs of Senator Cain have given satisfaction to every honest citizen, they have excited the ire of the Riug, who now threaten that they will read the Mission? ary Record out of the party. We hope that the full force of this threat will be understood throughout the length and breadth of the State. If an upright man sees robbery and theft around him, and linds that his associates, in spite of remon? strance and warning, plunge deeper into the mire of official corruption, it is his duty to expose the wrong-doers, whether they be white or black, Radical or Democrat. This is the stand taken by Senator Cain, who i3 to-day, we believe, a? Brm a Radical as he was twelve months ago. The only crime of which he is accused is a fearle33 uncovering of what he calls the "highway robbery," com? mitted by the officials of his party; and that crime the Ring will not forgive or forget. Because he declares that the School Com? missioners have neglected their work, he is said to be no longer a Republican. Because he asserts that the expenditures of certain county officers are tantamount to "highway robbery," he ia 6aid to have cool? ed in his devotion to Republican principles. Because he says there are few, if any, ob? jectionable features in the Reform move? ment, he is said to have become a "tender" to TUE CHARLESTON NEWS. Because he says he seconds, with all his heart, the reasonable and just demands of the Reform party, he is said to have aleaniog towards Democracy. Because he says lie knows enough of the transactions of the Ring to hang thou, hu is called a Democrat, and nieuaced^mh ex? pulsion from the party. What a commentary is this upou South Carolina Republicanism as expounded by Scott ?t Co. As long as your ears are. closed and your mouth is shut, as long os your vote t is cast aa ordered, and the~Tight man ia hoisted into office, you are a sound Republi? can and entitled to anything the party oan give-except money and place. But when you decline to be gagged and blindfolded, and, for the good of your people, speak out the truth you know, you are branded with infidelity and accused of betraying the party. With Senator Cain we have no party affil? iation, but he, with us, feels that the only salvation of the State lies in a Reformed govern meat-oue which shall be honest, able and economical, and represent with fidelity rind justice all classes of our citizens. The Roll of Honor. Tlie following named counties have al? ready appointed their delegates to the Re? form Convention, which assembles in Colum? bia on June 15th next : 1. Charleston.May 1G 2. Barnwell.May 21 And notice has been given that the fol? lowing named counties will appoint their delegates on the days specified : 3. Union.May 25 4. Orangeburg.....June 6 5. Marion.May 25 G. Williamsburg.June 7. Laurens.June 8. Kershaw.June 6 9. Marlboro'_.June 10. Spartanburg.June 6 11. Newberry.June ,6J 12. Chester.June 13. Horry.June 14. Lexington.June 15. Richland.June IC. Darlington.June 17. Edgefleld.June 18. Oconee.June 19. York..June 20. Fairfield.June 21. Greenville.June Sales-day in 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 doubk the repre? sentation of the county in botuoranches of the General Assembly. In or 1er that the Convention may be both large and influen? tial, our sister counties are invited to ap? point delegates on the same besis. It Harta. The New York Republicans cannot stomach the tremendous thrashing given them by the Democrats last week. The Sun says that Grant has killed the party. The Tribune demands a national election law. The Standard openly accuses Mr. Greeley of "dickering" with the cneni}-. And the sober Times (or the Hard Time3, as Dana calls it,) says that the "truth ?3 rapidly " growing apparent that the Republican " party lacks harmony of thought, as well " as efficient leadership. A great party, *. like a great army, must have both a cause " and leaders in order to achieve success. " The policy of the past, by which we have " hitherto won victories, has been measura " bly merged in accomplishment, and out of " that accomplishment has sprung a variety " of new issues, which no one has yet at? tempted to deal with in a statesmanlike " spirit. " The National Republican party may not be quite aa badly off as this, but the New York wing is awfully frightened, and, with pale cheeks aud distended pockets, awaits j the wrath to come. What'* tn a Name 1 The New York Herald is so fuddled in re? gard to South Carolina affairs that it ven? tures to say that THE CHARLESTON NEWS "is " at a loss for a name for a new party, * * * " aud wauts to call it the No-uame party."' Mildly speaking, this statement is untrue, from beginning to end. A State Convention assembles next month to organize a Sta? ; party, with especial reference to tho fall ?lections. The name suggested by THE NEWS for that organization is "The Citizens' " Reform Pafly." And if that suggestion be adopted by the Convention, there will be only two parties in South Carolina this fall the Reform Party and the Radical Party. Who Signed thc Bond T M A.telegrain from Columbia to a Charleston paper makes the grave charge that the state? ment publishfd in THE NEWS of Wednesday, that Governor Scott and General Stoibrand were the bondsmen for Sampson, the forger, is wholly untrue. This information came to us from our reg? ular correspondent at Columbia, whom we know to be worthy of the fullest confidence. We are satisfied thflr he had sufficient au? thority for the statement which he made, and are sure that, if he has been misinform? ed or misled, he will promptly and frankly say so. ? in lo ring.
