Bagier thinks this associa? tion might bay up ali the artists worth secur? ing, and let them out from theatre to theatre . and nation to nation; He' proposes also that . America might be included in - the sehe me. -Yesterday Pope ' Phis . the Nintk entered apon the &entyyflftb.year of bis pontificate. According to a current tradition, St. Peter, the first Pope,'Installed at Antioch and thon at Rome, A. D. 42, governed the church for . twenty-five years, two months, and seven days. . Of his two -hundred and fifty-six successors, none are said, according to the legend, to have occupied the Papal throne so long; Pms the SlxUi, next in order- or longevity, iiaving held .it twenty-four years, eight months and four? teen days. But the present Pope, although in his seventy-ninth year, is Ia very good health. -There comes from Germany a promise of relief from the demands of the ice companies. A certain Franz Wlndhausen, of Brunswick, . has invented a new machine for freezing water without the aid of chemicals. The process takes place in a cylinder, "where the air is flrst powerfully, condensed, then cooled by the admission oC'water, and finally expanded UH ita pressure ls about equal to that of thc at? mosphere." By this means, it is asserted, the very astonishing?eeulHs..t? of lowering ?the temperature of the air to fifty degrees Celsius (four degrees Fahrenheit,) so that when conduoted in moderate'quantities into a apace through which water flows, "che water is almort immediately turned into ice, of which ?enormous blocks must be thus obtained if de? sired. " The Invention will also, lt ls said, be applicable to the cooling of large apartments. ? steh as theatres, hospitals.and; churches. -A letter from Athens, ?peaking of the exe? cution of the-brigands concerned in the mur 4er ot the English travellers, says their decap? itation was delayed in consequence pf the ab? sence of the public executioner on a profes? sional tour. The following list ol his perform anees is given: "Last Friday week he beheaded three brigands at Sty lida, on Saturday two at Lamia, on Monday two at Hypate; he was then at Levadei, where he was to execute a noto? rious criminal. He was then to go to Chalcis and to Athens to behead, afterward, thc seven under sentence of death. His next destination ls Corinth, where he iS-to. execute five brig? ands, who have been for some time awaiting the execution of their sentence. Ono of the brigands.beheaded at Stylida had been con? demned to death five times. These executions, it might be imagined, would be a heavy blow and great discouragement to brigandage, but it is not so. Either the system or the sympathy with it seems rooted among Hie mass of thc Greek people, and by no means the people of the lower orders exclusively." -The following letter and .more accurate particulars of the sudden attack which termi? nated in the death ot Mr. Dickens have been obtained by your correspondent: "Mr. Dick? ens was talking to Miss Hogarth, his n'ipce, ct the table, when he started suddenly, and re? marked thar, he felt a twinge or pain ns if from toothache. Miss Hogarth took him by the arm and led him from the room, thinking the air might revive him. He had taken but two or three steps forward when he suddenly stag? gered and fell heavily upon his right side, be? coming immediately unconscious, in which condition he was borne to his couch and a physician summoned. He remained speech? less and insensible until his death, which oc? curred within twenty-four hours after the at? tack. The physician who examined Mr. Dick? ens reported that the pupil of the right eye was much dilated, while that of the lett eye was correspondingly contracted. His breath? ing was stentorous and his limbs remained flaccid until about halt an hour before death, when a slight nervous convulsion occurred. The symptoms were conclusively those of apoplexy. No post mortem examination to de? termine the nature and character of the fatal illness has been Instituted." Exit Whitttmorc. The House of Representatives, yesterday, after a long and exciting debate, refused, by a vote of 131 to 24, to admit B. F. Whitte more, the seller of cadetships, to a seat in their body. . This honorable and, we must say, unex? pected action, has a two-fold significance. It is at once a condemnation of the crime of which Whittemore was guilty, and a deserv? ed rebuke to the deluded men who re-elected Whlttemore to the high position which he had already been declared, by the House of Representatives, wholly unworthy to fill. Congress, in a word, declares by a decisive vote that party fealty will atone for per? sonal dishonesty, and that sound politics shall not excuse unsound morals and brazen violations bf personal and official propriety. a This, it most be borne in mind, is the posi? tion of the Union Reform party, as well as of the plucky majority which leave3 the cadetship-seller to shiver in the cold of the Congressional lobby. That party does not war against Democracy or Radical? ism, but against corruption and ignorance in office, extravagant expenditures of the public funds, and partial legislation. The Union Reform party support oie set of men and oppose another, not because of their politi? cal belief, but because the latter, like Whit terhore, are unworthy to hold any offlce of honor, trust or profit Congress bas acted wisely and well. And we hope that therday will soon come when, all over this broad Continent, no man shall be the candidate of any party, who is not, by bis integrity and truth, worthy to be the repr?sentative and mouth-piece of the people ! _ _ The Moral Danger of the State. Loss of property and a lessening of per? sonal security, although among the most grievous consequences of an impure and in? capable government* are not by any means the most enduring reasons why it is the duty of every good citizen to take an active part in thc movement for obtaining a faithful and worthy administration of the affairs of the State. Oppressive tax^on and a growing public debt prevent the accumulation of pri? vate wealth, and gradually eat away the most considerable fortune. The argument which touches the pocket has a concrete force difficult to be measured* by words. This cogent power drives the people into the camp of Reform, and should make the new paru-, as a matter of personal interest, deci? sively successful But unless it is desired to have only a temporary reform, a momentary light to be followed by pitchy darkness, the public must govern their actions by a higher motive than dollars and cents. They must work for Purity and for Honesty as indis? pensable to the moral and intellectual, as well as the material, healthfulness of all this people. Unlet?3 the body politic be purged and cleanse., tho popular mind cannot be strong ?nd vigorous, free to labor for ita own advancement aud for the highest good of the State. The history of South Carolina before the war between the States is grandly simple; it is the history of a people who valued wealth, but did not make it their God, who loved art aud letters, who honored virtue and revered their chaste women-the moth? ers and the daughters and the wives of the idolized Palmetto State. There was no rest? less progress, no feverish activity of hand or blain. Tho stream of life flowed evenly along-broad enough and deep euough to bear the hopes aud the happiness of a people, its borders all aglow with the tropic hue3 of the flowers of ambition and fame. To make haste slowly was the watchword of the Conservative statesmen of lue time. This thing was not scorned because it was old, nor was that thing adored because it was new. The whole tone of society was calmly conservative, gracefully strong-the black j snake which lay beneath the roses was un? seen or forgotten. And the war was a rude awakening from dreamy reverie and indolent self-content. Smooth-facod boys and bearded mou, their Southern hearts all aflame, answered their mother's call-pouring out their precious blood on thc sands of the coast and in the valleys of the West, enshrining their martyr bones in the mighty reliquary of the South that grand old State, VIRGINIA. The war brought with it no easily perceptible weak? ening of the moral fibre. There were men, the first bloom of whose honor was brushed away in rude buffeting with the world ; there were fair girls who forgot that there is a faultiness of thought as well as of act. Hut on ly a handful feU. The wajr '.demoralized" lit? tle more than would have been tarnished and smirched had not the dogs of Mars been loos? ed upon the land. And in 1865, though riches were swept away and home3 made desolate, this people was manly and true-purified, not destroyed, by the Ores of affliction. For the Grsj} year or two the tone of South Carolina was unchanged. It is true that the whites were shocked at the thought that ignorance and inexperience might be set up in authority over intelligence and wealth. But this was not their work, and they wait? ed patiently and quietly for that settlin: down which naturally follows a cycle of ts mult and strife. The body chosen to f;auie a new constitution met and did its tfork. Still there was no perceptible change in the common standards of right and wrong. Governor'Scott was elected and the recon? struction General Assembly began its ses? sions. This was the turning point. After two years of party legislation, the people halt and hesitate. Whether they go with the truth or join hands with false? hood, depends upon the victor]/ or defeat of \ R. K. Scott and his Ring, in the coming general elections. Already the evil leaven is working. The General Assembly could be bought, and peo? ple began to think that the conclusive argu? ment of money was more convenient than the reasoning founded on equity and right. The State officials were selling their influence, and men of our own people were found ready and eager to buy. Greedy politicians grew, rich by filching and by venal speculation, and South Carolinians were ready to join the Bing and take their share. They used the deceitful plea that these thing3 could not be prevented, and where money was going beg? ging, they, as well as strangers, had a right to a part of the spoils. This feeling is grow? ing in strength, and during the la3t few months, public men, whose hands before were clean, are declared tb have 6old them? selves for a big fee or an interest in a lucrv tive speculation. They have gi ven themselves up, body and soul Co a band of thieves and robbers for a part of the common booty. Men begin now to judge by the standardiof ] profit and not by the standard of right. Ex? ample has its influence, and-we firmly be? lieve that another two years of shameless thieving and public impurity will so sap- the foundations of themoral fabric, that all South Carolina will secretly be governed by the identical influences which make Scott and his free companions a hissing and a by-word throughout the Union. It is not all of life to grow sleek sud rich. How dare men make money by trickery and briber}*, and then hope that their own sons will be upright and pure ? The canker of immorality eats into the very heart of so? ciety. Good citizens now calmly do things which it would have destroyed them to think of in the times before the war. The bolte and pins are loosened which held together the noble fane of South Carolina integrity. Two years more of straining and heaving will sunder timber from timber, and send the whole mass into the vortex of public and privato corruption. And upon the citizens of this State, for themselves and their chil? dren, rests the burden of responsibility. They may restrain the advancing tide. They may burn out the festering sores. Thoy may drive away the thieves and money-changers, who desecrate the capitol. They may show the world what a noble sight it is to see a whole people struggling as one man, not for gold or lands, but for an honest government, which may protect rich and poor alike, and will, in all its departments, be able, impar? tial and pure. In this way they may save thc oid State from ruin, they may save their own names from dishonor, they may en? courage their children to live like the men who made thc name of South Carolina, in olden days, synonymous with rectitude aud truth. _ Our Standard Beare?. Tlie Barnwell Ledger places at the head of its columns the names of the standard bearers of the Union Reform party of South Carolina-Judge R. B. Carpenter, of Charles? ton, and General M. C. Butler, of Edge Geld-and pledges to the ticket its cordial support OUR Orangeburg correspondent says that every one "is praying success to the Reform "party." If every one will pray and WORK, the Reformers shall carry the State by twenty thousand majority. (Eoncationol. J? ING'S MOUNTAIN MILITARY SCHOOL, YORKVII.LB, S. C.
