Just before adjourning, Bishop Andrews delivered his farewell address, as, owing to his extreme age, it was not pro? bable that he would ever meet with them -.Again. -Miss Mitford, writing of a certain author " i ess, says: "She is ugly, of course; all litera rary ladles are so. I Dover met one in my life (except Miss Jane Porter, and she is rather jpastfe) that might not have served for a scare? crow to keep the birds from the cherries. It's . * prodigiously strange and disagreeable pecu? liarity." Miss Mitford'being herself a literary .lady, has made rather^ a sweeping assertion, -g ; -The New York papers say that Weston, the walk 1st," who accomplished the unprece . dented feat of walking one hundred miles in .twenty-one consecutive hours and forty min? utes, on Wednesday, was offered $5000 to break down in tho. trial, but he proved imper ~ -vlous to all temptation of that nature. James Smith, champion walker of America, has chal? lenged Weston to walk 100 miles for $1000, -offering him five miles start. . -The arrangements for the forthcoming monster musical festival, in New York, are progressing. Maretzek, Peck, Bristow, Ber . gunnan, Anschutz, Zerrann and Gilmore will .All act as conductors. Six opera companies will unitedly sing the operatic selections. Miss . Kellogg will be among the soloists, as well as the two rival tenors, Brignoli and Lefrauc. " The directors intend to pay all the artists liberally, whether they make any money out .of the enterprise or not; but', at the same time, they expect to reap a handsome harvest. -Official-tables, taken from the books of the -commissioner of Immigration, and giving the -comparative number of Irish and German emi? grants during the last twenty-three years, show that there have*arrlved In this country from Ireland since 1847 only 7755 more eml _ grants than have reached here from Germany .alone during the same period. For example, there arrived in the last twenty-three years from Ireland, 1,644,009; from Germauy, 1,(?3?>, 254. More than this, during the first five months of the present year the emigration ~ from Germany has amounted to 25,500, against 0 -24,46; from Ireland. To these figures are to be added those representing the Swedish,' Dan? ish,. Norwegian, French, English, Scottish and Welsh, not to mention the Chinese. So that zz the Irish emulation to this country evidently does not overbalance that of all others com? bined, as some have supposed. -Quebec was visited early on Tuesday morn? ing, as waa briefly announced by telegraph, .withone of the most disastrous conflagrations eyer known in the history of that city. The Area over which the fire swept was covered with wooden dwellings and the flames spread with such fierceness as to drive hundreds of people from their houses to places of safety, The sight In some cases was most appalling Women, with barely a stitch of clothing, were met at every turn, most of them carrying their .children, and rushing about in a wild And Insane-like manner. As the wind rose the flames gathered strength and inten? sity, leaping with fearf ul violence from one building to another, sweeping before them everything or a combustible nature. The wind, blowing strong from the east, directed the tendency of the flames towards King and -Queen streets, through which they swept with terrible force, enveloping at one time over fifty buildings. These streets in some places ex? hibited a most awful appearance, a perfect whirlwind of fire being observable in every -direction. Fortunately, at 4 o'clock A. M., rain began to fall, which soon checked the flames, .and this, with the almost superhuman efforts of the firemen, stayed the further progress of the fire-fiend. It is estimated, however, that five hundred buildings were destroyed. Two ?hipe were also burned to the water's edge, ?nd several persons were injured by falling walls. -A New York letter of Thursday says : "A ?ery curious service took place to-day at Trinity Church. This is Ascension Day, when All the parish choirs unite at Trinity. Rev. Mr. Dix preached a brief extemporaneous sermon, I and the communion was administered; but the great feature of the service, and one which will create a great deal o? talk, was the intro? duction Into the organ loft of a full orchestra of twenty-eight performers. Here, under the old gothic arches of Trinity, the fiddlers were seen .scraping away, and the players on wind instruments distended their cheeks as it they were at the opera or playing for a beer garden: At first the effect was any? thing but suggestive of church, but after the ear became accustomed to the unwonted sounds, so unfamiliar in a Protestant church, it was rich and satisfying. The orchestra was used as a substitute for the organ, and not in conjunction with it. Thc Nicene Creed and an elaborate anthem were sung by the choir with this full orchestral accompani? ment. Th<i singers at Trinity arc men and boys, and though they were in the chancel and the orcheBlxa in the organ loft, all kepi well together. The congregation were evidently very much surprised at tbis startling innova? tion, and Eome of the more conservative at? tendants of Trinity were not a little shocked. Musically speaking, however, the experiment was a decided success. In certain portions of the service the organ was used and the orches? tra was silent. In the Roman Catholic church? es In this city the orchestra is often used in high festivals, but this is the first instance ol its introduction into a Protestant church. The music on this occasion was selected chiefly from the English composer, Barnby, and the French composer. Gounod. nie Political Parson. The political parson has been hitherto un? known at; the South. Here the ministry, while cherishing a lively sympathy witb the State, ba.ve scrupulously held themselves aloof frorn the intrigues or even the meas? ures of part}'. They have encouraged the public defenders; they have invoked the blessing of Heaven upon the cause of their country; they have given their offerings to her need?, and their ministries to her dis? tresses; they have freely cast their vote3 into the ballot-box; but they have not aspired to be party leaders. Feeling that they had a higher business than the distribution of of? fice, and a nobler reward than the spoils of a successful campaign, they have jealously guarded che spiritual from tho intrusion of the secular. Thu3, for example, while they have decided views upon that irrepressible American question of Free Trade rersi?s Protection, we do not recall the name of any reputable Southern minister who has com? promised his religious influence by a public declaration upon that or any similar subject. It i3 to the interest of thc country that this time-honored precedent shall stand. It suits the temper and taste of our people. It corresponds with their sense of propriety. For sacrilege may be committed upon the ministerial office as well as upon the church or the pulpit, where the ambassador of the Supreme discharges his sublime functions. Other communities may think differently. Chicago and Cincinnati, Boston and Brook? lyn, may demand that each discourse or lec? ture of a clergyman shall bc spiced with a curry of politics. New York may crowd ap? provingly to hear the partisan diatribes of a caustic Cheever, a bellicose Beecher, or a "smiling" Smyth. There it may not dam? age the good repute of a minister to be en? gaged in acrimonious discussions in the daily press. There men may laugh, as at a good joke, when political animosity, awak? ened by clerical partisanship, turns against the whole order, as the Whigs did, in the days of George I-and siug the rhymed libel, "There's naught chokes a priest but a halter." But in this region we are conservative and* prefer the good old way. In one of Montaigne's essays the old knight divides eloquence into two kinds-the one facile and prompt, Buited to the bar; the other weighty and premeditated, suited to the pulpit. If the shrewd and genial Gason is correct, the sensational preacher hus mis? taken his vocation. He gains notoriety, he gathers a crowd, he represents the shifting incidents of the day, and stirs its fugitive passions, he amuses, he excites; but he does not instruct the mind, he does not awaken the cou3cience, he does not subdue the soul. His discourses are like the oracles written on the wiud-tossed leaves of the Cunicean Sibyl. His lectures are like a palimpsest where tile sacred is* sacrificed to the secular, and the dream of a visionary obscures a chapter in the Bible. - He, himself, is like an idle meteor which hides the stars as it flames across the sky, but which soon disappears while they chino on in their ateady, sileut courses. Few political parsons have ever awakened such enthusiasm as was given to thc notorious High-Church politician, Dr. Sacheverell. He was oue ol the immortuls. The courtiers of Queeu Anne used to shout over their cups, " While the Phoenix stands up and the Bow bells do ring, Here's a health to Sachev'rell and God bless the Queen !" But the poor creature soon sunk into such contempt that no one would take any notice of him. The government regarded him a3 too mean to punish even for his sensational preachments against it. Tho very men who made a tool of the political parson were the first to cast him off. So it will always be. For our part, we recognize the right of the ministry to use all the privileges of citi? zenship. They, of course, can write and speak upon what subjects they please. But tho high respect claimed by the office is im? perilled by the partisan who, from the cau? cus or the hustings, has "lost his way " into a parsonage or a pulpit. "It will be had," said an old English wit, "when God's " church is marie a sanctuary, only for men " of desperate estates to take refuge in iL" And such a mun is the political parson. WE find the following paragraph in the Sumter Ketts: "?WHAT WILL HE Do WITH IT V-If TUE CUARLBSTOK NEWS should succeed, with its bait of ' social equality,' in catching the . Radi, cal ' gudgeon, we cannot but think it will find itself in the condition of the man who won the elephant in a raffie.' " Since our Sumter namesake, emulous of the fame of Hie Spartau three hundred, pro? poses to perish pertinaciously at its Demo? cratic Thermopylae, it might perhaps remem? ber with advantage the three main points in the education of the Spartan youth, the last of which wa3-to speak the truth. "Social " Equality " has never been advocated by THE CHARLESTON NEWS, either as a bait or otherwise;-and thc imputation of the Sum? ter Netos, we are sorry to say, smacks un? mistakably of knavery or stupidity. Personal. Ia view of recent publications, we deem it proper to transfer to the columns of THE NEWS the following card which appeared in the Courier of yesterday: "Tantaene animis colestibus irae .'" TO THE EDITORS OF THE COURIER. GENTLEMEN-Self-respect constrains me pub? licly io repel, as false and slanderous, the charge made against the Editors of THE NEWS in The Nineteenth Century magazine for June, and which the Reverend W. Watkin Hicks has sought to justify, in your columns, as against me personally. To quote a casuai expression of disregard of certain political theories, which one of the parties in a private conversation had chosen to term his standard of "principle," as an open and shameless avowal of an utter want of per? sonal integrity, is a controversial expedient, the absurdity of which ls only equalled by its venom. How far this public, unprovoked, and evi? dently malicious misrepresentation is consist? ent with the lofty character of a minister of tlie Gospel of Charily and Good Will, lt Is not for me to say. I may be pardoned, however, for expressing the doubt whether any gentle? man, having sought an Interview with me for the purpose of asking a personal and profes? sional favor, which was readily and courteous? ly granted, would have noted a passing, and, perhaps, hasty remark, made In the freedom of friendly and familiar intercourse, for the pur? pose of reproducing it weeks afterward in a public print, with a coloring, and In a connec? tion that gives it an altered and a grossly slan? derous significance, to the detriment of my character and that ol the journal with which I am identified. The issue between Mr. Hicks and myself ls not of my seeking. Butas it has been forced upon me, I desire to meet it squarely. I am content that my friends and thc public should now judge whether I could ever have enter? tained or avowed a sentiment repugnant to every honorable mind, and to which, I trust I may say, my whole life, during the ten years I have been a citizen ol Charleston, as well as previously, in my native State, Virginia, fur? nishes a flat contradiction. <- ? Respectfully, your obedient servant, B. R. RIORDAN. The Hon. B. Odell Duncan on the Re? form Movement. The ignorance and knavery which, in apt combination, have made our State gov? ernment, in .the words of The Nation, " a disgrace to civilization," are not laid at the doora of the masse3 of the colored peo? ple, who, up to this time, have been the ribs and backbone of South Carolin Republican? ism. Apathy on the part of tho whites, and inexperience and imperfect knowledge on the part of the blacks, enabled a Ring of cunning politicians to seize upon and control the offices and thc Legislature of the State. This Ring it is which is re? sponsible for the frauds, and extravagances, which have paralyz -U our energies, and re? tarded our progress; thia Ring it is which hascau3ed the State, a3 The Nation declares, and we know, "to lie almost completely at " the mercy of the black and white corrup " tioniStS who have been plundering it for " some years past." And we have always believed that, where intelligence and honesty are united in the same men, an indignant protest would, sooner or later, be uttered against the myriad villan?as which oppress our people. The Nation, the leading Republican jour? nal of the country, was the first paper out? side of the State to urge " Democrats aud "Republicans, especially Republicans, to " pray with fervor for the rescue of South " Carolina from her present rulers." This wa3 followed by similar, though less hearty, exhortations from other New York Republi? can papers, and we may confidently say that the South Carolina Reform movement hus thia day the firm, if silent, support of every pure and able member of the State Republi? can party. No evidence on this point eau bc more conclusive than the manly declarations of the Hon. B. Odell Duncan, contained in his letter from Naples, printed in our issue of yester? day. Mr. Duncan is one ol the very few respectable Soulh Carolinians who joined the Republican party in the early days: of reconstruction. No one has impeached the purity of his motives or the integrity of his character. A3 United States consul at Na? ples, lie hus coulirmed the high opinion al? ready entertained of his courtesy and cul? ture. His Republicanism is above suspicion. Bul, as an honest mun, deeply interested in the result of the coming contest in his na? tive State, he is forced to arraign the Radi? cal Ring at the bar of public opinion. Now and then he saw a ray of hope; but, lie says, "The general character ot our Legisla? ture and of the legislation in Colnnibia during the winter has certainly uot been such as to Inspire me with continence in the wisdom, pa? triotism or even ordinary honesty of those at present controlling the Suite Government and the 1 Radical ' party lu South Carolina. Their action has been such that / do not see what reason any class of our people can hace for sustaining them." Property-holders, he continues, who are not ollice-holdera inay properly complain of the heavy expenditures that are made. But, " Our good Governor, for Instance, and some of the other State officials, will not complain of their taxes while they have such a control ol the Legislature as to be able to make or un? make the market for 8":ate or railroad bonds at pleasure, and thus gain many limes over the amount of their taxes." This is not all. Mr. Duncan, with justice, chargea that the Scott Legislature has done nothing to alleviate thc condition of the la? boring classes. He says: '. Our legislators seem to have been too igno? rant lo know that when thc industry and pros? perity of a country is disturbed, it is always tho poorer classes who stifler most. Their ac? tion has generally been such ns lo prevent a return to a state of peace and quiet, and to foment the bitter feelings hitherto existing. This course may prove beneficial to curtain corrupt demagogue politicians, who can hope to remain above thc surface only in times ol excitement, but it will certainly prove most calamilous to our poorer classes, whom they pretend specially to represent." The whole record is before him, and he fearlessly says : " Thc ' Radical ' party in South Carolina has clearly showu that, with its present organiza? tion and leaders, lt does not govern for the ?rood of thc people and the general prosperity Of thc State. Then it should be abandoned, or very 1 radically' changed. Mr. Duncan sees at once the evil and the remedy. Regretting that the State govern? ment should have fallen into such hands as they have, he declares that no one, than himself, "would more heartily unite with " any honest effort to rescue both our party " and our State government from the " clutches of those who now control them." Such an "honest effort" is the Reform movement. Mr. Duncan, were he nearer home, would be convinced already of its straightforwardness and sincerity. To its principles, he says, "good Republicans will " certainly not object," and well may he avow his opinion that "If they are bona .fide on the part of our former am agonists, I can see no good reason why good Republicans should not unite with them in order to rescue the government from the hands of those at present ruling the State for its ruin. It will not be an abandonment of tlie principles of our party, but only a union with our lormer foes, who accept our principles and Join us to rescue the State trom corrupt and incapable hands." The issue of the civil and political equal? ity of the races no longer divides the citi? zens of the State. We occupy a ground far higher than the fields on which the battles of Party are fought. Ali that is desired is a good government, without regard to party, race or color, which good government can only be obtained by the successful union of all decent and honest men against thc ras? calities of the Ring. The struggle will be long and severe ; but it 13 a cheering omen of victory that the South Carolina Reformers go into action carrying with them the hearty good wishes of papers like The Nation, and of gentlemen like him from whose letter we quote to-day. Their moral and material sup? port, joined to the energetic labors of the white people of the State, should surely give us as good an earnest of a happy issue as any of our people can desire. MR. A. T. Wallace was sworn in on Sat? urday a3 member of Congress from the Fourth South Carolina District. Just pre? vious to tlie swearing in, Mr. Brooks, of New York, put this# pertinent question to the Speaker o? the House : " If he shall be sworn in will lt be as a mem? ber elected in South Carolina, or a member elected by this House ?" Considering that Mr. Wallace received 9807 vote3, and his opponent, Colonel Simp? son, 14,098 votes, this was a stumper. But the Radicals, like the traditional turkey, are " werry tough."
