The Constltutlcnnel enthusiastically ap? plauds the Duke de Grammont"? speech in the Chambers, lost night, for its dignified and firm tone. It declares, that the address truly expresses the anani meus sense of the French people, and ls a dignified reply to intrigue, insult and menace. The article continues: "Ia this matter, Prussia seems to have labored under the imagination -thai'-the patience of France was tverlasting, and incapable of - exhaustion." Prim, by his ambitious, intriguing course, hoped to play with France as with a puppet. The Constitutionnel learns from a reliable correspondent that the majority of the emi? nent Spanish Liberals disavow any connection whatever with Prim's manoeuvres. The Constitutionnel hopes and believes that the dlf 3cui ty will be solved and order restored through tile spontaneous rejection by th? Span ii m people of Prince Leopold's nomination.

The official journals contradict all reports o. interference by Austria in thc pending diffi? culty between France, Prussia and Spain, and they declare that Austria will not, under anj .circumstances, participate in the controversy. The Attitude of Prussia-A Reaction in London. LONDOK, Friday, July 8. There was much informal comment in the House of Commons to-night on the delay ol Prussia in responding definitely to the note of France. .The opinion was frequently expressed that this indicated a spirit of mischief, if not a more dangerous purpose on the part ol Prussia. The'exc'temeut here has been intense over the condition of affairs on the Continent, bot there is a reaction of sentiment to-day In con? s?quence of a conviction which bas sprung up that war will be avoided. The panic and the reaction are probably equally unreasonable. A Financial Criais in Paris-Return of the Troops from Algeria-The Hum of Preparation-France's Ultimatum. PARIS Saturday, July 9. Paris is considerably excited to-day by ru? mors that Prussia is actively moving ber anny in ail the Baltic ports. The corps d'armee now operating against the rebels ii Algeria, under General Wimpfen, has been recalled. The Gazette de France says : " The Duke de Grammont's declaration in the Corps L?gislatif recently, is equivalent to the French ultima? tum. The present situation is the result of Bismarck's intrigues." ? The Journal des Debate, of Parla, says the policy of the French Government on the Span? ish question threatens to make all Spaniards unite on the Prince of Hohenzollern. Prime Minister Ollivier yesterday assured the French Senate that the offer of tbe crown to a Prussian was the -'act of General Prim, and was not binding on the Spanish Govern? ment. The French Minister of War bas Issued an order to ali generals commanding, requiring them to report to the War Office immediately the condition of troops, arsenals, ammuniton, Ac., in their respective departments. France has received reassuring dispatches from most of the great powers. Two French corps d'armee are ready for movement Naval preparations are active. The Bourse is very much excited and rentes are declining; last sales at 69f. 50c, or 75c. be? low opening, and ?7c. lower than any figures made during the crisis here, and the lowest point for many years. Activity at the French Ports-The Na. tiona! Guard and Guard Mobile on a War Footing. PARIS, Saturday, July 9. There ls great acti vity at Toulon and other French ports on the Mediterranean, and a large number of transports are being fitted out to bring home the entire French army now in Algeria. Circulars have been issued recalling to their commands all officers and soldiers absent on furlough. Large quantities of powder and war stores of all kinds are being conveyed to strongholds on tho eastern frontier. The government authorities of France have in their possession plans of all forts, roads, canals and other public works in Prussia. The government has taken measures to put the Guarde Nationale and the Guarde Mobile on a war footing. Agents of the French Gov? ernment are now in Hungary purchasing horses and hay for cavalry service. The Bourse is still excited, but closes at three P. H. a shade firmer. Rentes cor. 62c. Tbe Answer of Prussia-Prance is not Satisfied, and will not Give Way-Her Demanda Increasing. PARIS, Saturday, July 9-6 P. M. There seems to be no doubt that the gov? ernment ls in receipt of the long expected answer from the Prussian Government on the subject of the Spanish throne difficulty.' it is intimated in well informed circles that in answer Prussia makes the following points : First Disclaiming all participation in the can? didature of the Prince of Hohenzollern. Se? cond. That Prince Hohenzollern is not even a relation of the Boyal family of Prussia. Third. That General Prim negotiated with the Prince of Hohenzollern, and he must be responsible, not Prussia. It is almost certain that this answer is not satisfactory to France, and that the Duke of Grammont has forwarded another dispatch to Berlin. At a diplomatic meeting in Paris, De Gram? mont said France bad determined not to de? part from the line of conduct traced at first The Moniteur, Ministerial Journal, says the abandonment of tho Hohenzollern project is not enough now. France wants a full fulfil? ment of the treaty of Prague. Tbs Epoca, of Madrid, says the dignity of Spain is still safe. The Cabinet alone is re? sponsible. Uneasiness in the English Markets Austria Patting on the Gloves-A Par? liamentary View. LONDON, Saturday, July u. The question at Issue between France and Prussia relative to the Spanish Crown creates some uneasiness ia thc English markets, both here and. in Liverpool. Breads tu (Ts and cotton arc uncertain In tone and prices irregular, al? together due to a possible continental war. The same influence is operating at Manchester. In the market, for cotton goods and yarns gen? eral excitement does not seem to have abated. The threatened rupture still forms a topic for new-paper commentand ordinary conver? sation among the people throughout Europe, while the .better opinion ?Mema to be that war will be at last avoided. Dispatchesrieceived from some quarters of the movements of troops, strengthening of garrisons and departure of fleets are well cal? culated to excite the gravest apprehensions. To-day the Austrian Government is preparing to form a pecmanent camp near the Prussian frontier. She hos had this plan In contempla? tion for along time. Prussia Peela Comfortable, but Sends Her Generals to Quarters. BERLIN, Saturday, July 9. Baron Werther, Minister from Prussia to France, is not recalled. In official circles here thc situation is thought free .from', danger. Bismarck is unimplicated in the Hohenzollern affair. Napoleon's Attempt to heid him re? sponsible is regarded as a pretext. General officers of the Prussian army are ordered io rejoin their corps. italy Sustains Fran/e, FLORENCE, Satur?oy,.July 9. The press of Italy, official and national, back France in the cuesti?n af issue with Prussia. Austria as a Mediator. VIENNA, July 9.

AB you may like to hear about the present condition of the crops, I will state what I can ascertain regarding them. The long cotton crop of this Island looks very well to a casual observer, but the constant rains and cloudy weather hos made the plants run up much to weed, and the growth is rank. Wo have had entirely too much rain. What we want at this season is dry weather and "hot suns. There have been reports ol' caterpillar;} in Florida, so I was told, and near Charleston, but I have not seen any bere yet-, but this igjust the kind of weather to produee them, and, if they come, they will do great injury among the ten? der rank growth of tte cotton. Last year they were not discovered before about the 25th of July. There is not near eo much sea island cotton planted this year as last I have planted only about half as much, and the aver? age of these parts will be about two-thirds as much. Corn is growing splendidly, and I never saw any finer on this Island, at this'sea? son. W. J. li. -A New York letter of Thursday says : .''It ls rumored In certain manufacturing circles that a number of our manufacturers have Just made a contract for the importation of one thousand Chinese, and will Introduce them in this city in a few month?. Efforts are made to keep the affair quiet, and no one was to know anything about it; but tbe affair bas leaked ont" THE GOOD WORK. HOW THE FEE88 TA LKS. THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLT1. Thc Evils of Discord. [From tue Lancaster Ledger.] With but two or three dissenting voices the the Conservative press or the State endorse the action or the Reform Convention, and pledge their support to its candidates. It isa matter for regret that these few dissenting ones have taken the stand they have, thereby throwing obstacles in the way, and jeopar? dizing the success .of the movement. And In fact, Tn a great measure, by their uncalled for and injudicious opposition, encouraging the Radical party. Of course, these Journals have a right to think as they please; but at this Juncture, of affairs, when the Issue is between honesty and dishonesty, the State needs the assistance and the hearty co-operation of every citizen who opposes Radicalism and cor? ruption^ Do-Nothing Ism. [From the Lancaster Ledger.] We do not believe in the: "do nothing" policy advocated by two or three of the Demo? cratic papers. We think that it ls not only a duty we owe to the State, but to the weirare of posterity, that we put forth every exertion; that we strain every muscle; that we know no sleep, until the banner of the Reform party shall wave from the citadel of the enemy. Can we Win f [From the Orangeburg News.] The chances in the present campaign are.at present doubtful for the success of the Union Reform party. We say doitbtml expressly to startle our people into an energy of action. With this we may win. Energy of purpose, a complete batial of prejudice, a putting away of sickly sentimental. reluctance to put ourselves entirely in a posltlou to reach the colored man. Heaven has appointed the means. If,we use lt He will secure the result TUB CHARLESTON NEWS urges organization in every county. Reform clubs must be started In every, township. We urge this matter upon our people. Which le Right ? [From the Colombia Phoenix.] The Rev. Jonas Byrd is a colored man, long a resident of Charleston. He claims to be true to his race, and Is represented as a God-fearing man. He advocates reform and harmony with the native whites of Sooth Carolina, W. Beverly Nash ls also a colored man, boru and reared in South Carolina. He has taken his part against the native whites of the State, and preaches to his people the doctrine of dis? trust. If not of hate for the whites. He wants no reform-ls satisfied, doubtless, with that state of things which has enabled him to thrive, and to be senator, magistrate and col nel. But who ls the wiser? Byrd or Nash. We think time will show that Byrd Is the wiser and the truer friend to his rac?. But this ls a matter for the colored man to settle. He is wise lt he hearkens to the Byrds and throws the Noshes overboard, or commits them to the companionship of those fleeting shadoios called "carpet-baggers." Thu* Far and no Farther. [From the Columbia Phoenix.] The Reform movement now In progress we deem the second effort for the redemption of South Carolina-the second effort to restore to our Stale what has well beeu called "cheerful, wholesome self-government." In our Judg? ment, it deserves the united support of all the citizens of the State in favor of a fair, honest. Just and economical administration of our pub? lic affairs. It ls a movement that seeks to sub? vert no one's rights and privileges. It is a movement in the direction of the public good -in the direction ol that good feeling between the two races in the State which ls promotive ol tbe prosperity of each. It is a movement thal seeks to foster that spirit of material develop? ment which 1B the great need of the State, i But especially do we hold that it ls significant in an? other point of view. In the Reform movement, the whites of South Carolina-we mean the genuine white people of South Carolina-have gone as far as they intended to go in the direc? tion of a conciliatory policy ns respects the colored people in the State. We have reached the "Ultima Thule" of concessions. Thus fal have we cone, and no father shall we go. It ls well for this to be clearly understood. It le well lor this point to be pondered overby.all concerned. Hereafter, lt the lines shall bc drawn deep and wide between the two peo pies that inhabit South Carolina, the respon? sibility will not rest upon the men who, in the Union Reform programme, have taken a for ward step, In order, if possible, to bring all good citizens upon a common platform of goot and decent government A Hearty Defence of Jndgc Carpenter. [From the Barnwell Sentinel.] The convention, in selecting a standard-bear er, chose Judge Carpenter, not because h< was a Republican, but because he had dis charged the high duties of a Judge with ern! nent ability, strict impartiality, and perfect fairness. He knew no suitor in his court, ex cept as a citizen seeking Justice, and lt wa: administered without regard to pol?tica opinion. No sooner is Judge Carpenter nominated than the Radical press and the Radical leaden discover that he ls a very bad man, that he ha been engaged in ugly Jobs In Kentucky, an< since his removal to South Carolina. We asl these papers and leaders if they did not know all about Judge Carpenter when they electei him to the Bench ? In that position he ha recommended himself to the country by hi virtuous administration of the high office ti which these very Radicals elevated him. Is i to be wondered at, that having thus commende? himself, the good men of all parties turn t< him, as a fit man to expose the fraud and cor ruptlon ol' the bad men who now honor hin with their abuse. It does not lie in the monti of Governor Scott, or any other Radical, tosa; Judge Carpenter ls a corrupt man, because, I this be true, they knew it when they modi him a Judge. GOOD NEWBJ The Work of Reform Begins Well ii .Marlboro'. The Bennett8ville Journal reports the doing! of the "Fifteenth Amendment" organization.' on the ever-glorious Fourth : Mr. J. F. Green was the first to speak. Hi? speech was tempered with unusually moderate language for the occasion. At tbe concluslot of it. Captain C. P. Townsend, the Union Re? form candidate for the House, was called oui by several colored men. Captain Townsend mounted the stand, and addressed the assem? bled crowd In an eloquent and impressive man? ner. His speech was exceedingly conciliator) throughout, and was listened to with unusual attention. We learn that his speech was well received, and made a lasting impression upon the minds of the enemies of Reform, Infavoi of a change of government. At the conclusion of his address, the sheriff, Joel L. Easterllng, white Radical, took the stand, and made one ofthe most inflammatory speeches that we have ever heard. It cau? tioned the negroes from going Into any meas? ure tending to the reconciliation ol' the white and colored rares, and advised them to keep aloof from all Reform movements. In the course of his speech, thc sheriff said that, "ii he were a negro woman, and had a husband or sons who voted the Democratic ticket, he would cut their throatefrora ear to ear;" thus instigating the negro by the use of (his and other like inflammatory language in his speech, to keep up a spirit of animosity against the whites. H. J. Maxwell followed his noble colleague, and made an incendiary speech about two hours long. His languoge was bitter against the white people, and he was unwilling to unite with them in any Reform movement unless ll was done according to his own notions. In the Radical party, viz : by re-electing the ex? pelled Whitemore and the whole "Scott Ring" into office again. This is what he calls Reform. The Journal further says : Others spoke during the day, but wc noticed thal the colored people were disposed to har? monize matters and avoid any movement thal might tend to disturb the peace and quiet ol the day. And it may be truly said, to the credit of thc colored people, that perfect good ordei prevailed throughout the day, notwithstanding the inflammatory and incendiary harangue! that were poured into their ears by some o: their leaders.

Charles Betts, a ven? erable and aged servant In the1 vineyard of his Master; Rev. J. A. Porter, Rev. D. J. McMil? lan, the efficient and loved pastor, of the Lynchbunr Church. Besides these, there wer? some thirteen other able and zealous advo? cates of Methodism present. . . The business of the meeting was disposed of on Saturday last, and on Sunday, after ? pow? erful sermon by Bishop Wightman, the sacra? ment of tbe Lord's Supper was administered. Although the day was Intensely bot, the con? gregation was sufficiently large to fill the main floor of tbe church and gallery-the number of communicants being proportionately large. A lew of the preachers having remained, the meeting has been protracted and ls still In pro? gress.- A number of persons have joined tbe church and several professed religion. There seemed to be prospects of a drought In this (Lynchburg) portion of the country, but on Sunday night last the rain poured down in torrents, and a considerable quantity bas since fallen, and all apprehensions of a drought have, for' the present, passed away. The rain on Sunday night was accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid flashes of light? ning. Several trees in the vicinity of Lynch? burg were struck, and one of them rent into a hundred or more fragments, some of which were thrown over a hundred yards from the tree, but no harm resulted therefrom to any one. FRANZ. WELL DONE, II OJIE y ! A RATIFICATION MEETING. The Honest Whites and Honest Colored Men Join Hands, At Conwayboro', the county seat of Horry, there was a celebration of the glorious Fourth. Mr. J. T. Walsh, one ol the delegates to the Reform Convention, explained its objects and result. He was followed by Mr. Beatty, of the Horry News, who gave theciowd the whole truth. Tho Horry News says: . Mr. Augustus Thompson (colored) then rose, and for nearly one hour held the audience iii deep and earnest attention. He went back to the days of slavery; spoke In kindly terms of bis owners, but rejoiced that be was now a free man. Referred, in touching terms, to the days when he left the old home, and gave the true reason why so many thousands of his race be? came embittered against their former owners, viz: That, yielding to the passions and preju ' dices of the period, their masters had driven them out, houseless, homeless, to starve and - perish. That his race bad also, in many ways, yielded to prejudice and passion, but that now ' the day had come when we could see our er .'. ron, and that he was ready to strike hands in 1 union and fraternity with tbe (white race ol h ls native State. That he was now determined ; to think and act for himself, and was evei ; ready to support the cause of truth, Justice and ' honesty. I He was followed by Rev. H. Jones, also col ? ored, (and we will here remark that both ol . these colored speakers were members of the . State Convention of 1868.) This speaker be , gan his remarks by adverting to the test in ?j the case of King Solomon, and the two , mothers of new-born infants, who dwelt in one .house, and one of the Infants having died, * both claimed the living one. He said the true test was now upon us; he was waiting to see its results. The true sons of Carolina will be >" ready to give up any dear object, crush out all i prejudices, and sacrifice all mere party affini? ties, rather than the good old snip of State should be reft asunder, or delivered over to 1 certain destruction. He nobly acknowledged that the chasm be - tween the races, once so wide, but now, thank: i to God, gradually narrowing, was made bj - both parties, the former master and his slave - in yielding to the evil instincts of humar : nature, and he added with striking truth, thal - the party which possessed the greater lights s ot education and civilization bad sinned tht I most. He was tor Union, too, on the grane principles of Honesty, Truth and Justice, ano closed his speech with a solemn Invocation o God's blessing in BUCII a cause. The following resolutions were then offeree and unanimously adopted: Whereas, The citizens of Horry County, oi every race and color, have become satisfied that we have been guilty of grievous mistakes which have kept us asunder, and prevented united effort for our common good and for thc general welfare of our native State. Be it Resolved, That having seen our errors, w< will bury the past and will hereafter strive to getber In the cause of honesty and truth. Resolved, That wc heartily approve ot th< principles set forth m the platform adopted b; the Convention at Columbia on 15th June last and declare that they should be supported b] every true son of South Carolina. On the adoption ot these resolutions, tin meeting adjourned amidst loud applause, am a hearty striking of hands together on tb? pledge thus made. Never before, not even ii the clays of I860, have we seen such eames feeling and real enthusiasm displayed ata pub lie meeting of tbe citizens of this county. Maj none prove faithless to the declaration am pledge of union for right. THE COLORED CADET. His Hardships at West Point.. The following letter from J. W. Smith, th? ! colored cadet at West Point,- to his hom? folks, at Hartford, Conn., certainly makes oui pretty hard times for that young pioneer: WEST POINT, N. Y., June 29, 1870. Your kind letter should bave been answered long ere this, but realiy I have been so harass ed with examination and the insults and ill treatment of these cadets that I could nol write or do anything else scarcely. I pass?e examination ull right, and got in, but mj oompanlon, Howarel, failed, and was rejectee!, Since lie went away, I have been lonely in deed, and now these fellows appear to be try? ing their utmost to run rae off, and I fear they will succeed If they continue as they have be gun. We went into camp yesterday, and not a moment has passed since then but some one ot them has been cursing and abusing me. All night they were around my tent, cursing and swearing at mc so that I did not sleep two hours all night. It ls just the same at the table, and what I get to eat I must snatch for like ? dog. I don't wish to resign If I can get along at all; but I don't think ic will be best for me to stay and take all the abuses and insults that are heaped upon me. The examiuation was very hard this year-harder than ever before-and since I have been successful in getting in, I will sta j as long as I possibly can. One of the cadets refused to drill the squad because I was In lt, and they reduced him from a corporal to a private for disobedience of orders, and they are all mad about that. The one who drills the squad now is tbe meanest specimen of hu? manity I ever saw. After marching us ont te the drill ground this morning, he said to me. "Stand off one side from the line, you d-d blacli son of ab-h. You are too near that white man. I want you to remember you are not on an equal footing with the white men in youi class, and what you learn here you will have to pick up, for 1 won't teach you a d-d thing.' And thus he kept me standing until the cap tain came around inspecting, when be pre? tended that he put me there to teach me a movement which I had never practiced be Tore. Ana I ' coma say norning UL un, w i would bare been locked op for disobedience of orders or disrespect to "superior off!cern" Ifit ever happens again I Ehall deny it to his face and then resign. ? ?-,?? If I complain or their condqct to the com? mandant TmuBt prove the charges of ndthfng can be done; and where am I to find' one ffdm so nany to testily in my behalf ? 'If thlsaftar noon'e drill is conducted as this morning's was, you need not be astonished athearfng that I have resigned. I have borne insult upon In? sul t until I am completely worn out. I have written a plenty of bad newsj'andi wish Thad some good news for yon,'Ddt alas Mt seems'to be getting worse and worse; .. I- forgot*to tell yon, that out of ilinety-oae appointees, five failed physically, forty-seven tailed mentally, leaving thirty-nine admitted. They had pre? pared lt to fix the colored candldates,'but'lt proved most disastrous to the whites: 7 n tl ..:??> J. W. Bm . ; --. m II <?.??.?, ? ? . : ? it . M ATT ESS TIT O-JSOSOIA.
