VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 1360. CHARLESTON, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1870. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. WASHINGTON. [FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, June l. The President will go to Annapolis to-inor row. Walcott Hamlin has heen appointed super? visor ol revenue, vice Harrison, resigned. Mr. Bradley, a lawyer, was to-day held in $5000 bonds to keep the peace against Judge Fisher. The difficulty grew out of the Surratt trial. There is ne) prospect of the Georgia bill be? ing taken up in the House until after the tax bill. ? Judge Wadsworth and Senor Palacio re? opened the Mexican Claims Commission this morning. SENATE. The Senate resumed the consideration o? Ute redistricting of the judicial circuits. No ac tloifc The Senate at half-past 1 o'clock resumed executive session upon the Sandwich treaty. Petitions were presented for the organiza? tion of an international society for the protec? tion of immigrants against the income tax. Drake offered an amendment to the Judicial ?Circuits bill, which was agreed to, to correct what he held to be eu incorrect and illegal designation in the act of 1866, by virtue of which the Chiei Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States wrongfully assumed, in the impeachment trial, the title of Chief Jus? tice of the United States, when there was no such office. The bill was passed in executive session. The bill, as passed, constitutes the various circuits as follows: First, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut; second, New York; third, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dela? ware, Maryland and Virginia; fourth, Mis? sissippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas; fifth, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee; sixth. Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and West Virginia; seventh, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin; eighth, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri; ninth, California, Oregon and . Nevada. The Supreme Court Justices, ex? cepting the Chief Justice, are required to re? side in their respective circuits. The Chief > "Justice is to be known as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. HOUSE. Butler, of Mass., asked the unanimous con? sent of the House to introduce a joint resolu? tion annexing San Domingo. Brooks objected, and the bill reducing taxes was then resumed. Progress is slow. A resolution allowing women to take the census, meet!og objection, went over. Cincinnati merchants remonstrate against the increase of the tax on smoking tobacco. I ? New York merchants petition for a uniform tax of sixteen cents on manufactured tobacco and snuff. ' A.treasury. estimate presented during the discussion, shows-the following for next year: Customs $185,000,000; from internal taxes $175,000,000; from 'ands $5,000,000; irom mis? cellaneous sources $28,000,000, making a total v -Oj $303,000,000. The estimated expenditures - were $291,000,000, which would leave a sur? plus of $102,000,000. The discussion of the tax'bill was resumed, and an amendment allowing a discount ot ten per cent, on stamps for amounts In excess ol' five hundred dollars, was adopted. In the course of a discussion in regard to the penalties for washing defaced stamps, Schenck sta* ed that lt was the intention of the Ways and Meir. - Committee to wipe out the whole systen- of soles and informers, and to allow no more moiti?s. An amendment fix? ing stamps on checks for any sum at two cents,.was adopted; When the income tax was reached there was considerable discus? sion. The Indications are that there will be an increase of the exemption. NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL, fr - We take the following paragraphs from the latest Washington dispatches to the Northern press: AMNESTY. The prospect for passing any of the nume? rous pending bills providing for general am? nesty ls very slight. The committees in each House having charge of the subject have bills * prepared, but the feeling in Congress against making a general law, added to the want of time to get lt through, renders it very proba? ble that it wLU go over to the next session. Prominent Republicans in the North and in the bord-;; States seem to have taken an in? terest against it since the recent debate in the Senate. Letters to senators from Kentucky state that if a general amnesty act is passed John C. BreckJnrldge will certainly succeed Garrett Davis In the Senate In 1873. In view ?Tthe postponement of the general bill it is not improbable that one including several thousand names will be passed. Over a thous? and Virginians have specially applied for am? nesty by petition. THE NSW FORM OP GOVERNMENT FOR THE DIS? TRICT OF COLUMBIA. The bill passed by the Senate on Friday night to provide a government for the District ol Columbia vests the executive power of the whole district In a Governor, to be elected and serve for four years, to receive $4000 per annum, and to nave the veto and other pow-, ers similar to those of the Governors of States. The bill provides for a Secretary of State at $2500 per annum, among whose duties it shall be to furnish the President ?nd Congress with copies of all laws passed by the Legislature. This latter' branch of the government, it is provided,- shall consist of a council of eleven, to be elected for two7ears, and a House of Representatives of twenty-two members, elect? ed for one year, salaries four dollars per day duringaactual attendance, the first election to be nekr within sixty days alter the passage ol thi8act byCongreBS. The primary qualifications for officers in all cases shall be citizenship and residence in the District of Columbia. Acts of the Legislature shall be subject to repeal or modification by Congress. The courts are to re? main as now organized, though the District Legislature may pass lajvs modifying their practice. Congress shall appropriate $5000 per annum to defray the expenses of the executive department, including the salary of a clerk, and shall alsu appropriate a sufficient sum to be disbursed by the secretary of the District, made on estimates of the Secretary ol thc Treasury of the United States, to delray legis? lative and other expenses. One delegate is al? lowed the District to sit in the House of Rep? resentatives of the United States. ADJOURNMENT O? CONGRESS. L A number ol" members ol' the House ol Rcp , resentatlves say that with close attention to business Congress may adjourn on ttie litt? of ?July-four days earlier than the date alreatly . fixed for that purpose. But, from present In? dications, ttfcere is more probability of a slight extension than of a curtailment ol' the time. he general appropriation bilis are in an ad? vanced condition, and can soon be passed. There are on the calendars over two thousand :byis, and many (principally of a private character) are in committee to be reported. But few of them, however, are of a pressing nature. Ju any event, very much business will be contirtued to the next session of Congress. STATE SECRETS LEAKING OUT. Leaf of Private Political History. In a.debate on Judges' salaries in the Senate nFriAylast, Senator Carpenter made the Rowing statement: When General Grant's administration came , he offered the office of Secretary of State to a teaman of the West, of Iowa, a man who all of us would havo been proud to see in that place. How did he look al it ? To come to Washinston and live as a Secretary of State should "live, would cost him $15,000 a year, and his salary was $8000; S7000 out of pocket each year. If he were to stay with his family in Iowa, lie could support them on SJOOO and make $13,000. There was $17,000 difference in his bank account. He could not afford to pay that amount to be Secretary of State. Then General Grant goes right to the Eastern States and offers the office to a man to whom the $17,000 made no earthly difference; and in that case your $8000 paid to the present Secretary of State is thrown away, because he would have taken the office just as quick without tho salary as with lt. The New York Sun remarks: The statesman of Iowa mentioned by Mr. Carpenter ?3 the Hon. James F. Wilson, but for want of complete information the senator does not tell the story with perlect accuracy. Before General Grant was sworn in as Presi? dent he offered to Mr. Wilson the office of Secretary ol State, and he agreed to accept it. Afterward, Mr. Washburne. of Illinois, besought General Grant to appoint him to that office as a compliment, which would en? able him to go with more prestige as minister to the Court ol* Napoleon lil, which place ho had agreed to accept. General Grant felt himself under great obligations to Mr, Wash I burne, and asked Mr. Wilson if he would agree to thc complimentary appointment of that statesman as Secretary of Slate, lt be? in;; understood that he should not take the office, but only enjoy the honor ol' being nominated to lt and confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Wilson said that Mr. Washburne was the most malignant, ungenerous and unfair enemy he had ever had; but that if General Grant de? sired very much to pay him such a compli? ment he would not stand in the way. and would still be willing to be Secretary of Slate afterward. The nomination of Mr. Wash? burne was accordingly sent to the Senate. He was confirmed, and, to the surprise of every? body out himself, he had himself sworn in as Secretary on that very day, and at once begun to exercise the authority of the office. More than this, he held on lo it for a considerable period, and did not leavo it until he waa per? emptorily required to do so by the President. But meanwhile Mr. Wilson withdrew his ac? ceptance of the place, saying that he would not take an office which Mr. Washburne had warmed. Nor could any persuasion avail to make him reconsider his determination. EUROPE. The Smallpox Abroad. PARTS, June 1. The French Ambassador to Vienna bas the smallpox.

THE Iii FALLIBILITY SCHEMA. The Text of the Dogma-Its Reported Adoption by Ahe Connell The correspondent of thc New York Tribune writes from Rome under date of May 10. In my last letter I said that the scheme on the Supremacy ol the Roman Pontiff had been ??ven out on Friday, 29th April, and that on niall i bi li ty on Saturday, the 30th of April, and that, these were really the answer to the French note backed up by half the Powers of Europe. But what cares the Vatican for such remonstrances?. lu thc words of one of its organs, the Unita Cattolica, "Pius IX defies the diplomacy of Sovereigns, and even of Hell." Rather strong,, but true. I now send you the text and a translations of the famous Scheme or Schemes. It runs as follows: [Translation.} 1. If any one shall say that the Episcopal Chair or the Roman Church ls not the very true and in - fallible Chair or the Blessed Peter, or that lt has not been divinely chosen by God as the most solid, enduring, and incorruptible rock or thc whole Christian Church-let bim be anathema. 2. H any one shall say that there exists on earth, distinct and separate from the Chair of the Blessed Peter, any other Infallible Chair or the Truth or thc Gospel or Christ the Lord-let him be anathema. 3. lr any one shall deny that thc Divine Rrtpre macy or the Chair or the Blessed Peter is to nil men. whether unbelievers or believers, whether laymen or bishops, necessary as the true road to eternal salvation-let him te anathema. 4. If any onesnall say that each anti all or thc Roman rontitfs, legitimately elected, are not Jure di ci no successors of the Blessed Peter, In the gift also of Magisterial Infallibility, and shall deny to any one ol them the prerogative or Infallibility to teach the Church the Word of Cod, pure rrom all corruption and error-let him be anathema. 5. lr any one shall say that (Ecumenical Coun? cils are a power placed by God iu the Church fur feeding the Divino flock on the Wold of God supe? rior to the Roman Pontiff, or equal to him, or ne? cessary, by Divine institutlcn, to the complcttnu of the Infallible Magistracy or the Bishop or Rome -let him be anathema. This is said to b-j the reformed Scheme which once formed the eleventh and the following .article of the Scheme de Ec.clesia, but which since the action ol" the French diplomacy have been promoted to the first place. As they were distributed some time in the month ul' Marchj in their entirety, with the Scheme de Ecclesia, they have already received thc writ? ten observations of the fathers, and have been submitted to the manipulations of the delega? tion (committee.) They are now reproduced in their reformed state, and the Council can proceed to business at once. The entire Scheme dc Ecclcsia consists ol' sixteen chap? ters, ol' which the eleventh and twelfth were on the Roman Pontiff. Tites? have been ex? tracted and formed into a sop irate Scheme ad hoc-Infallibility-the remaining chapters be? ing passed over until tl^ great object ol' lite Council has been cained. 1 hope 1 have made myself clear, though, lo tell the truth, where everything JS wrapped in myste? ry, it is very difficult to obtain . clear views of, anything. On Wednesday, thc ?th of May, a Congregation was held in St. Peter's to vole the Little Catechism. As may be expected at thin lats season, fe w per? son* were present iu the church, and Uio.se tardy stragglers who had never seen so many live bishops assembled together before. ? shrill voice raised always to Ute same pit;;h was very audible, as proceeding from the Council Hall, and a uP?ace?" at intervals told the rest of tiic story. Thc votinc: was going forward, but what was the precise result it was impossible to ascertain. Thc fathers shook their heads and appealed to their oaths. Some ventured lo say that the Lillie Catechism hail been approved, but several incidents Icol ino lo suppose that thc Ultramontanes were not highly satisfied. The official journal was silent on the following evening, and it was not until the next that it simply stated that 'Hue voting hail boen proceeded with." Now I have ascertained that lhere were fifty-six who voted "non placet" lorty-l'ouv or forty-five who voted i%placit juxta mo ditro," and fifty who abstained from voting. Some go so far as to suppose thal a new Scheme on the same subject will bc brought forward, but as it has been virtually deckled that evcrytl lng is to be determined by a ma? jority, and that a moral unanimity is not need? ed, 1 do not believe that tho question will be agitated again. -The Chinese companies ot' San Francisco have decided to discourage thc emigration ol' their countrymen to California, anti have drawn up a circular to that effect to bc posted in all thc principal towns and cities or the Chinese Empire. TUE WHITTEMORE ELECTION. Kershaw. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE NEWS.]' CAMDEN'. June 1. The election yesterday, to fill thc vacancy in Cougress caused by tho forced resignation ofB. F.

We copy the following communication from the Columbia Guardian of yesterday: TO THE EDITOR OF THE GUARDIAN. Sir-In your paper ol Hie 27th instant, you publish an article credited to TUE CHARLESTON NEWS, from its Columbia correspondent, in which some reflections upon thc action ol' tlie Land Commission are made, and SOUR hints thrown out in regard to its corruption. As a Republican, who has heard at divers times and places, on the street and elsewhere, certain conversations between gentlemen who are cognizant ol the workings of the Land Cora mlsion, Tdeem lt my duty, as well as my right, to lay before the public, through thc columns ol your paper, certain tacts con? nected with tlie sale of a large tract of land in Charleston County, in order that the public may be enabled to render an en? lightened judgment, and the odium of the transaction bc fixed upon the parlies justly en? titled to bear it. In Hie article referred to, lt is asserted as a fact that a trttct of land has been purchased by the State, for which was paid out of tlie Lund Commission appropria? tion thc sum of $120,000; thal the amount of money received by the parties selling thu land waa bm $:to,ooo, thus leaving tho difference, amounting to $90,000, in the hands of some? body, and thc name ot Mr. Parker, Treasurer of ?State, is mentioned, who is a member of the Advisory Board ol the Land Commission, as having been connected with tho disposal ol' the $90.000. The act authorizing the establish? ing of a Land Commission provides certain rules for tho transaction ol' business connect? ed therewith. Tlie Advisory Board "of Hie Commission is composed of Hie Governor, Secretary of State, Slate Treasurer. Comptroller-General, Attor? ney-General and the Land Commissioner, und all purchases of land must bo approved and endorsed by a majority of thc board before any money can bc paid on such purchase. This sale or purchase ol'lands In Charleston Coun? ty was made without consulting all Hie mem? bers of the board, and the manner ol'consum? mating the sale was this: Mr. Leslie made such representations to Mr. Parker, Treasurer, Attorney-General Chamberlain and Comptrol? ler Neagle (who is chairman ol' the board,)* in regard to the good quality of Hie proposed purchase, as well as the cheapness ol' the land, as Induced them to approve of it, upon which the drafts were made upon the financial agent in New York, and' the money was paid. Leslie, having secured the names ot u majority of the board, did not deem it necessary or polite to call upon the Governor and Secretary Cardozo for their signatures, and they knew nothing about the transaction until it was all over. The purchase was made ajter Mr. Leslie had resigned, ami before he or Treasurer Parker had made any report as lo their transactions in the premises. Mr. Parker claimed that he could not until Mr.- Leslie did; and Leslie would not until he was forced to make an exhibit of his "stewardship,'1 by the threat, on the piii-c of thc Governor, Whipper and EUI ott, of prosecution. When this exhibit was made, then this purchase was discovered as having been made some time before, and without the knowledge el Governor Scott or Sec? retary Carduzo. (And allow me to say that the "act" does not delegate to the Governor any moro power or authority in Hie premises than it would to any other citizen in a like position as a member of tho Advisory Board.) If there lias been any spoil in this transaction, il has been divided between C. P. Leslie, Esq., and Mr. Oakes, the Democratic agent in Charleston. It is well known here, and openly canvassed on our streets, that Leslie came to this State a very poor mun, and now boasts of his thousands. If he bus been paid for going ont ol' office, who paid him ? Not Governor Scott; for il is a well known fact that Governor Scolt and Secretary of State Cardozo were von active in endeavor? ing to have him removed from office. Hence the bitterness ot his attack upon the Governor during the last hours ol the sitting ol' the Senate hist Mareil. The Guardian, in Hie issue referred to, quotes from THE CHARLESTON NEWS a letter* from Co? lumbia, which is slightly out ol' time in its as? sertion that '-certain outside pressure" ??as Torced the Slate officers to -'make a show of honesty." They had, sometime ago, appoint? ed a committee, composed of Hie Secretary of State, Attorney-General and Land Commis? sioner, to investigate these purchases and see wherein the wrong existed. Let the respon? sibility of this transaction rest upon Messrs. Leslie, Oakes it Co., who have handled the .'change." This may look like a grave charge to lay at Hie door nf Leslie, tho honest iiia'n and virtuous, who left the Republican ranks because lie was afraid ol'tarnishing his spot? less reputation. Very truly, KKPUULK'AN. A li LOO I) Y TUA C. ED Y. Horrible Double Hu riler in Kortb Carolina. A horrible m irder has been perpetrated in Robeson County. N. C. A puny of men, three \v number, witli laces blackened ant! hand? kerchiefs lied around their heads, wen! to the residence of Mr. Ned Mc Lend, in Robeson County, near the Cumberland line, on Wed? nesday last, and murdered itt cold blood Mr. Neil McLeod and bis brother.

Daniel McLeod, seeing litis, hurried lo lils room, pro? cured a gun and attempted lo shoot thom, but the piece missed lire, whereupon he was hand? ed a repenter by his uicce, but at this moment he was shot down. Mrs. Neil McLeod was wounded in the arm. Her son wiw also dan? gerously wounded. The murderers trot $93 from Mr. Nell McLeod. What auiouut they gol irom ms brother is not known. As soou as the facts became known, a parly shirted In pursuit of tho murderers, who wore tracked in the direction of Scufiletown. -Great activity, is being used ai Rome by the advocates ol the dogma of infallibility, both in and outside ol'Hie Coanei!. lo secure a volo in it? favor. THE FEXIAS FOLLY. A SnVniuary of its Reinlts-"What Gen? eral OWe?l Says-Thc Canadian? Still on the Alert. Thus fur the movement on Canada ha? cost, as nearly as we can reckon, from twelve to fif? teen men killed, and from thirty to forty In wounded. For it there is nothing to show not a "*"f^a*?KWte?? gun captured, nor an inch ol' Canadian soil permanently occupied. On the contrary, we must add to the opposite column of the account the abandonment of a great quantity of arm?, ammunition and clothing, and the expenditure of large sums of money in outfits and transportation. The loss. also, snffere? by those who have thrown away em? ployment for service in Canada, is not incon? siderable. So far, therefore, the invasion has cost more than it has come lo. Thc famous words written on the charge at . Balaklava. "Somebody blundered,"' are applicable to the whole cf thc present fruitless Fenian move? ment on Canada, and those who have contrib? uted so liberally out of their hard earnings will doubtless ".vant to know who that ..some? body" is. A LINGERING Sl'spENSC IN CANADA-THREATS OK THE DEFEAT!" I). Some little suspense still exists in Canada, owing to reports-of contemplated raids by such of the defeated invaders as have as yet been compelled to remain within striking distance of the border. A large body of Fenians are now at Buf? falo, New York", numbering about 1300. bul although lhere is some warlike talk indulged among them, they have no organization. Leaders there -rom the Middle and Western States have been in council investigating the late disaster, and adopting measures toward reorganization. Although disgusted with the recent failure, they proteas an intention of pursuing their object to success. Some fllty were disarmed near Malone yesterday by the United States authorilies, and a considerable quantity of ammunition was seized. The Dominion authorities are fully prepared for any emergencies, and have taken prompt measures to protect all points that may be threatened. Very Jew of the misguided men remain about St. Albans. Colonels Bowen and Murphy are still in jail, unable, lo rind ball. Many believe O'Neil intended to bc arrested, and threaten his life. They claim that he has a large amount of money, collected from the hard earnings of Irish laborers. In San Francisco the enrolment of Fenians and raising of subscriptions continue, the de? feat of thc"*caiise in the East not bei mr as yet fully realized, and the conquest ol' British Co? lumbia presenting a lively picture to tho Irish iuiaginalion in that quarter. A FEMAX GENERAL'S STATEMENT. General O'Neil, one ol' thc Fenian officers who has been arrested and imprisoned at Bur? lington, Vermont, has been interviewed by a Now York reporter, who gives trio following narrative: ('enerul O'Neil remarked: This movement on Uto Canadian frontier has Jong been con? templated, and I have carefully considered the .subject for two years. Von remember the at? tack and buttle at Fort. Erie in 18C0. in which the Fenians were victors. I saw at that limo I hat. Irish troops on Canadian soi; would light with desperation and courage, and that care? fully organized and properly disciplined they would provo valiant soldiers. Al that limb wo tailed because (Mir men div! not Stave arms and ammunition; Umt was all they lacked: KO since that time 1 have b-jen "busy col? lecting 110,000 stand o:' arm- and perfecting the organisation ot' th'.' brotherhood to .jet tho entire order throughout (he :oun try to understand that wo must have troops, moans for transportation, ami quick, decisive movements up to the invasion. All thc territory was carefully mapped out and every projected movement" was so timed that the occupation ol Cauada was to be simulta? neous and general along tho line. I expected on Tuesday last to have'1 COU men at Franklin; by Wednesday noon over 1000 more wore ia report there. Every precaution had boen taken lo impose secresy, and though the coun? try is flooded with a sea of British spies, not ono detail of the plans was divulged. Tims both governments wore blinded. "It was as much our object to evade the United States authorities as it was lo battle with the Cana? dians. The assertion ol'General Sherman that we intended to compromise this country with England is therefore untrue. We had no such object, most of us having fought in tho United Stales armies. Our end was simply to liberate Ireland through Canada as ? base ol operations. I was to begin the as? sault on Canadian territory with the ldOO troops. Even if only SOO arrived, I foresaw that '.hey would bo ample to take a position, and this"was ali we wanlod al the outset, as many ol tho promised troops were veterans. I know that '.hoy would make a good begin? ning. This, you see. was all we wanted. Once eslablished ?i permanent foothold in British America a:id entrenched in a strong position, ami 190,000 Fenians will rush to tho front. It was wv duty to lorin the nucleus, and the ser? vice was very critical, and tho "lightest mis move would prove disastrous This I foresaw, and planued accordingly. To begin a military enterprise of this kind ono riling should be kept in mind-the Influence of the results upon tho public 'sentiment. A brilliant beginning promised us much from the American people who have generally boon very friendly to tile movement. 1 then decided lo move on Franklin with 1600 men. this point to bo the main objec? tive one. Minor and supplementary movements were lo be made at Malone, anti they wore simply decoys. Tito Rod River detachment was included in Ute campaign, under my direc? tion. Well, on Tuesday last the Fenian Broth? erhood bogan io send men forward, nnd tho country wits soon aroused. Instead ot the ono thousand mon I expected at Franklin from Boston, ono hundred and lofty carno; and in? stead ot' Hu; six hundred from northern New York and Vermont, only sixty-Ore reported for duly. In timo the looa! authorities offer various explanations and excusos for bo? in;.' dilatory. They say thal tiley could uot transport the mon. The trooiw did nol como as they should. Instead ol' throe thousand on Wednesday. I had 3u!i.

Miss Susan Caroline Godsayras born in Obion Countv. Tenn., and within ton milos of tills city, of poor but very respectable paren:*. Her father lias been dead for over twelve years. Her mother still lives and watches ?ver be? loved child, and thc sunken eyes ami furrowed brow shows plainly the trials and sorrows she has experienced in her ditty for twenty-one years. She is very poor, and, io some extent, dependent on lite contri? butions ci v'?.'io"?. t-j '.uko cave ofar.il urocure proper stipplies for her charge. Miss Godsay I was taken sick when about four years of age. with what is supposed to be chills and fever, bul which bailled the skill of nurses and physicians for more than i wo years, at which time she fell inlo a nervous sleep, from which* She has not woke since for a longer time than twelve minutes. She usually sleeps soundly from about ll o'clock at night until about 6 in the morning, and through the day awakes about once an hour. Her waking spells are never of less than four nor more than twelve, but usually about six minutes* du? ration. In her waking moments she speaks both pleasantly and " intelligently, answers promptly any question asked her, and ap? pears quite happy and contented. One of the strangest points of litis strange case is the seemingly total absence ol anything like res? piration. A piece of Hie finest polished glass held to lier lips fails to disclose the slightest trace of breath. Her pulse ts perfectly still, and but for a nervous' an^L, tremulous m otiop of lier body, which never ceases, you might at. any time call her dead. She has grown dur? ing her affliction from a little child to about ill" average height of her sex. and weighs ninety-six pounds, and though her body and hands show her very poor in tlesh.her fac? is full and smooth, and lier features well developed. Indeed, such a rare style do her features por? tray that she is not inappropriately called the Sleeping Beauty of Tennessee. PARISIAN HOVSE-BUli.DISO. Under this title, tiie Technological gives an interesting account of modern Paris, ft says : There are some points of instructive compar? ison that can be drawn between house-build? ing in Amcrienn cities and In Paris. Modern Paris has been laid out with much skill, on what may be termed the radical principle, as ' distinguished from Hie quadrilat?ral system, which is almost universal in American cities. In other words, streets arc set out radically from certain centre.-, with an ingenuity and economy essentially "French." The homes are built in blocks of two or three, and not in detached blocks, as In American cities. Nearly all houses in Paris are tenement dwelling houses. The habit prevails of a number of families renting the same block, and using a stairway common to all. This system is in vogue with all classes; a great economy is therefore effected, and the system-further consorts well with the present social condition of the inhabitants. Each block contains a court-yard.-and in the houses of the better classes this yard is set out with shrubs, evergreens, ?te. The stories around the court-yard are gene? rally devoted to the landings and sleeping apartments, tlie basements around tito yard being used for offices, conch-houses, kitchens, ?c. : the apartments facing the street being used as reception and living rooms. Thc buildings are entered by a wide portal, large enough to admit a carriage, and just within the gate are the entrance or entrances to the stairways. In this portal is situated the office ol the concierge, or porter, who has charge of | the keys, Ac, and resembles our janitor; but the system of conciergerie is particularly French. Sudi is a general description of a Parisian dwelling house. Il Should bu added that the Parisian houses are of great height-six, seven and eight stories not being unusual. Stone is almost universally used as a building material, a good building stone being obtained in abun? dance from quarries adjacent to Hie city. Most ol'the houses are run up with rubble masonry of a Stone commonly called Catacomb stone", from the habit once prevalent of using the stone found in the vast subterranean cham- , bers formerly built under the city, but idhg un? used for burial purpose.-, and at present in a dangerous condition. There is but lillie of tills stone left, but a similar stone from quarries near Puris is that which is commonly use'". This rough masonry can be run np with great rapidity; French masons, as a rule. being lavish in tho use of mortar or cement. The work, although apparently rough, ls of a most substantial character, and the walls are built of great thickness. Iron is extensively employed, the floorings being, in general, supported iipon cast-iron girders, the generul tendency is to build houses of a fireproof construction, if the houses are in main or Important streets, their facades are dressed with ashlar masonry, and are adorned with rich carvings. If in a by-street or subur? ban boulevard, the rubber-built walls are ren? dered over with a pure white species ol plas? ter, manufactured from the sulphate of lime, or gypsum, on which formation the city stands. This rendering is most effective, and. when joints are cut upon its face, bears the appearance of a stone front. Hav? ing at hand a plaster of the finest quality, the Paris builders have taken full ail vantage of it, and some of Hie finest plasterer's work l's to be seen in Parisian houses. The root-drains are carried down in earthen, and frequently in iron pipes, embedded in the sub? stance or the wall, and made of large diame? ter, so as to prevent the possibility of their being obstructed. Thus the unsightliness ol wall-pipes Is obviated. In the Bulevards pipes are arranged so as to Water the trees planted upon the foot-ways. Tlie flooring ol' the household offices, the passages, and landings is generally of hexa? gonal red or ochred tiles. The flooring of the apartments is generally of handsome parquetry ol oak and walnut (carpets not being used;) this, when polished willi wax, ls very hand? some. Liglit is freely admitted to thc French houses, instead of being excluded after the inju? dicious manner of our country. The windows are all door-windows, hasped by a very cum? bersome arrangements ol bolts. Although these windows ure handsome, they do not ad? mit of the same nicely of adjustment as our own sash-windows. The heating of the individual apartments is generally by wood, coal beiug deemed the luxury of tho rich. But most houses are fur? nished with hot-air Hues, the heated air being admitted through square gratings. Hatlroaos. gOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE, ) CHARLESTON, S.

RUSSELL'S SOOTHING CORDIAL ls offered to Hie public with an absolute guarantee against all danger from its use. Read the following certifi? co ARLESTON, May ie, isca. Mr. J. C. RUSSELL, one of our careful and intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by him. lt affords me pleasure to express a favorable op m ii m ol' its safe and etllcient adaptation to the purtlculur cases of Hie diseases of children, which lt ls designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial in severe cases of Bowel Com? plaints in children and delicate females, I have been much pleased with its effects. 1 consider it a valuable medicine in all cases, in which lt may bc advisable to avoid the use of anodyne, and par? ticularly for family use, as lt Ls perfectly safe. .W. T. WRA GO, M. D. CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1868. 1 certify that I have most successfully used RUSSELL'S Sootning Cordial in the Summer Com? plaints of infants. He has fully exhibited the in? gredients of his remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. I recognize the prescription couiuiuing no anodyne whatever-as a most safe and efficacious one lu bowe! affections of children. When much pniu or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses ol Paregoric can be added to the pre? scribed doses of thc Cordial according to the age ul' the patient. The compound, though more often, ads in un efficient UIUDUCT without any ad? dition of anodyne. lu the Diarrhoea of the aged, In increased doses, it is of great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with the stomach-increasing appetite, im? proving digestion, and acting as a slow but effi? cient astringent agent. W. M. FITCH, M. D. CHARLESTON, S. C., 1868. Dear Sir-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrhoea in teething children, and lind it a very excellent preparation, lt has a great advantage over most preparations of the kind in containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can bc added in proportions applicable to the case. l therefore can recommend Its use in foe affec? tions for which lt is designed. Respectfully yours, Ac.. T. L. ..ICIER, M. D. MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., 1868. Mr. J. R Russell : DEAR Sn:-1 have used y ot: r Soothing Cordial for children extensively in my practice, and moat cheerfully testify to its merits. 1 have found lt, without au exception, tc accomplish all it claims, and consider it superior to anything in ase for children. Its freedom from anodyce of any kind recom? mends it as a perfectly safe preparation in the hands ol mothers and inexperienced nurses. Very respectfully, Ac, 1). R. WILLIAMS. M. D. Maile by J. B.
