Jefferson Davis, Jacob Thomp? son and Bishop Quintard made addresses. -The London Times has lost its old affec? tion far Louis Napol?on,- and publishes in full Victor Hugo's , famous letter against the Ple? biscite, which, winds up with the cool proposal to transfer the Emperor to Vincennes as a prisoner of State. -A bill has been Introduced into Congress to provide for a survey to determine thc boun? daries of Arizona Territory, rendered necessa . ry by encroachments ot the Mormons and the -want of knowledge as to where the new silver mines belong. -Recommendations "of friends or of high 1 officials for the removal of political disabilities -will not be respected by the Reconstruction Committee.

In thc course . of the evening the outgivings were decidedly ? against "over-medication," and lt was pro- , . claimed that "mercury had lost its once potent ] . sceptre." Dr. Wellington, of Cambridge, de- 1 " dared that "over-medication is the besetting sin of the profession." Dr. Holmes read a 1 . poem, In two cantos, full of hits at pro fes- 1 atonal follies. -The first ot two free baths In New York 0 City was launched on Thursday last. The bath j!! resembles a huge box, with a platform about eight feet wide surrounding and overhanging the upper edge. Under this platform are eight ?.-. pontoons, four on each side, each of -which ls / 'sixteen feet long and six feet wide, for sup ,< portlng the weight of the craft In the water. . 'Tho depth to which the bath is sunk is regu? lated by means of a patent valve In each pon? toon, by means of which a sufficient weight of water may be admitted to the pontoons to sink the bath to such a depth as will best accommo? date the bathers. The bath is ninety feet long by sixty leet wide on the outside, and forty feet by ninety In thc Inside. The sides are ol solid planking down to the water's edge, and below that they aro formed Of stout slats to allow freo Ingress and egress of the water. Over the platform surrounding the edge is to be erected a structure completely Inclosing the bath, and containing about eighty dressing rooms, each five by four and a half feet, open? ing toward the centre of the bath, and with a ?door In each connecting with a passage run- < nlng 'round the whole. Over the centre of the south side of the bath this structure will be two stories high, forming the entrance to the bath, and affording apartments for the keeper in thc second story twenty-four feet long by twelve wide. The baths will be ready Tor use within a month. The other bath ls 1 .destined for the north side of the city. The building of the baths was commenced about -nine days ago. They will cost about $20,000. -Greeley, who^ has been sojourning lor a short time in the Bahamas, writes a column of his "Ideas" to the Tribune upon matters and filings in that health-giving section of the West Indies. ^Viter elucidating and succinct? ly describing the geographical and agricultu? ral teatures of the Bulmmas, he touches upon the "idoi" which for years has been the prie cipal "god of his Idolatry"-the negro. Alter .thirty years of freedom, he tells us, they evince all the good and bad Qualities o? their ancestry. They are docile, kind, civil, patient and humane; are not generally provident, energetic nor aspiring: are content with little, which, in some manner or other, they gene? rally secure; are not inclined to work, and very few ol them acquire wealth. Filty cents per day in town ami twenty-five in the coun? try are the usual w ages paid them, and there are always more wanting work than can get it even at these rates. The philosopher is forced to admit from what he has seen that the plantations which were productive and flourishing under siavery are wholly deserted and useless under freedom. In summing up his "impressions," he tells-what little he knows of farming in that section, and "hazards an opinion" that pineapples, bananas and other tropical fruits may be grown on the isle with profit, by proper cultivation. He thinks now is the "accepted time" to commence operations in that line, lor, lrom their three years' debaucli ol blockade-running, the Ba? hamas have nearly recovered; the gold that overflowed her streets and jingled in ever; pocket has vanished like a beggar's dream of splendor. All that is needed to make that country truly the "land of milk and honey" is a few industrial chiefs and organizers. Sup? posing you emigrate, Horace. A New Nostrum from an Old quack. There is in Charleston a truly worthy man who knows everything, and who, out of the mine of his golden experience, can extract a certain cure for all the ills to which the flesh, or the body politic, is heir. A cunning plan which this good soul devised was tried two years ago, and was a ludicrous fiasco. But why should we abuse the inventor ? Wheu a tight-rope dancer falls from the giddy height and breaks his foolish neck, the at? traction of gravity is not to blame-a rotten rope, or slack stay, is the cause of the un? pleasant contretemps. And when a "Hying "man" flutters to mother earth instead of soaring in the empyreal sphere, the stupidity of the mechanician who constructed pinions and tail, sails and rudder, does the whole unhappy business. The quack doctor is never in the wrong. When the Seal-oleum or bread pill fails to heal the obstinate sore, or renew the shattered frame, the guilty cause is the jealousy of a hated professional rival, or a disgusting lack of faitli on the part of the puling patient. And it was ever tims. Why then should a black mark be set against the lugubrious logician who in? vented the manly form of the baby plan of "cutting off the nose to spite the face." The relaxing effect of the drenching process caused the bottom of our political system to drop out two years ago, or more. But there will be better luck next time, or the next, or at the Greek Kalends. And, in the mean? while, a fair trial might be giveu to any new idea, which may come from the old source; thc more especially as the "worthy man" of whom we write has a large family connec? tion. Without more ado we como to the point. The new cure-all is this : 1. Let the Reform Convention make no nomination, but adjourn subjecj to the call of its Executive Committee. 2. Let the Stale lie on its oars until the Ring pnt up their man-that is, Scott. 3. Let an independent Republican candidate for Governor come forward oj his own mo? tion. 4. Let him be one who can' command, in himself, at least 15,000 Republican votes. 6. Let the Reform Convention reassemble and pledge the party to the support of the In? dependent candidate. 6. Let Scott be defeated. 7. Let the Independent candidate win. This plan is altogether lovely. With a Do Nothing Alpha and a Victorious Omega, it is of little moment what happens in between. The plan is as complete of its kind as the wonderful marriage service which is said to begin with "Dearly Beloved" and end with "amazement." But politics just now is a cash business, and the public will uot take political goods on credit. The cake has turned out to be dougli several times al? ready, and before they regaril with a favora? ble eye either cake or candy, tho public family demand a proof of the skill of the master confectioner. Of course one bungling job is no sure prognostication that every piece of work will be muddled out of all reason, but the most cunning workman can do nothing with bad materials, and even a Parisian artist iu pies cannot make jam tarts of saw? dust. 1. The Reform Convention must do noth? ing. This may be compassed, although we hope ?ot. There will certainly be enough dele? gates in favor of doing something to make u sharp struggle for a nomination, tolerably sure. And if inactivity prevails, who can guarantee that a clique of somebodies, who io not countenance the Convention aud de? cline to be bound by its action, will wyt make such a nomination, on their own hook, a3 will drag down in its fall all Hie tribe of Do Nothings ? 2. .<4 Republican must come forward, of hts own motion, as an Independent "tandi date. Why should he? Why should any man] pat himself in a position to have all the blame and uone of the praise ? If he fails it is his own fault. If he wius-the Reform party did it. There ?3 not a mun in the State, worth having, who would ruu up ou these conditions. 3. The Independent candidate must be able to command 15,000 Republican votes. Candidates of this kiud are not as plenti? ful as blackberries. We do uot know any mun, who-once out of the Ring-can count on tliis support. The strength of au honest caudidate would bc scraped down mid pared off by the RiDg. And a dishonest candidate could make most by selling out his 15,000 vote3 to the Scottites. Moreover, is there any Republican in South Carolina whose iu dhidual interest in public purity is greater enan the collective interest of thc whole people ? We think not. A caudidate can j be had whose negative strength is great, and who will not alienate, by his candida? ture, either white or black voters; a can? didate who will work hard, and do his own share of the fighting. Such a man, backed up by Hie white voters, can be elected Gov? ernor of South Carolina, in spite uf Scott and all his angels. But there is no man iu tho State who can win the day unless lie have the cordial support of llie wiiite voters, and unless he be, ut the same time, unob? jectionable lo the blacks. 6. T'a Reform Convention shall support the Independent candidate. Thai candidate will not be found. I 7. Let Scott be defeated. That depends upon the vigor of the Re? form candidate, the earnestness of the peo? ple, and an early opening of the campaign. 7. Let the Independent candidate win. To let him win is only another way of say? ing, "We wish he may get it." We must helj) him to win, we must work for him to win, if victory is to he fa's and ours. Now, is it not evident that the plan pro? posed by the gentleman from Charleston, (with an extensive family connection,) has not a single element essential to success ? If may be adopted. But, if so, we may as well gird our loins for another two years of robbery and wrong, and then-the Lord help this people.! The Land Ring. The Columbia Guardian has received a dispatch from C. P. Leslie, late land com? missioner, dated at Pheonix, New York, in which he denies the statement made in the communication of "Republican," of June 1, as to the part charged upon him in the sale of the Schley lands to the Land Commission. The Guardian presumes that he had not read the second article of "Republican," which places the blame of the transaction upon other shoulders, where it seems to rest complacently. For our part, we heartily wish that Sena? tor Leslie would make a clean breast of it. We are inclined to think that he is more sinned against than sinning, but this long silence looks awfully ugly. Reform in Florida. We are glad to see that the people of Florida, a State which is in almost as bad case, politically, as our own, are up and do? ing in the cause of Reform. A full and effi? cient organization has been begun in most of the counties, embraciug "all the people "who desire equal and just laws faithfully "and impartially enforced, and who favor "an honest and economical administration "of the State Government," and it is confl "dently hoped that in the next election the Peninsular State may bo wrested from the grasp of the gang of plundering carpet-bag? gers who now control her destinies. Notice to Delegate?. We are authorized to say that delegates to the State Convention, which assembles in Columbia on June 15 next, will be passed to and fro, over the South Carolina Railroad, for one fare.

THE SATURDAY REVIEW says: "It may "be permitted to doubt whether England "can afford to allow thc House of Commons "to sink to the level of the IIou3e of Repre? sentatives." If the House of Representa? tives should receive the infamous Whitte more, the doubt will at once resolve itself into certainty. Cost ano ?f o uno.
