D. Fowle. Several ex-Confederate gen? erals were In attendance at the ceremony. -A Washington special to the New York, Tribune says: The conviction is daily becoming stronger here that a chauge ls contemplated In the treasury department, though there is muon doubt If U ls made immediately, as no success? or to Mr. Boutwell is known to have been se? lected. -The board of aldermen of Louisville have unanimously passed an ordinance subscribing1 $375,000 to aid the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company in extending its connec? tions South, by a lease of the Louisville and Decatur Railroad, and to purchase an interest in the North and South Alabama Railroad. The ordinance will be submitted to the people on the 9th of May. -They have reduced the Connecticut elec? tion puz?e down to the proposition that if the Legislature approve the report of the official canvassers, English, the Democratic candidate for Governor, will have twenty-five majority; if lt approve the statements of other officers, Jewell, the Rep?blicas, will be elected byalne ty majority. Morris Tyler, Republican, ls elect? ed Lleutenan t- Gu vernor by 192 majority. -A Washington letter, In noticing the man? ner in which the Ku-Klux bill was finally pass? ed, says: "Some appeals were made to tho President by letter from New Yon? to veto the bill, bat be signed lt in five minutes after re? ceiving IC, and informed Republican senators that Immediately on his return (rom St. Louis he should proceed with ita vigorous enforce? ment, -There ls ti bill pending in the Senate of Texas providing for a division of the Slate, and the erection of a new State west of the Colorado River. One of the Texas Democratic papers, while not approving a division, says that if the bill passes, as lt thinks' il will, and goes to the people, those on the north and east of the Stale are so decidedly in favor of division, and their popular strength at the ballot-box 1B so great, that they will accept. the division with the boundaries submitted to them rather than postpone the division to a more distant day. -A new split In the Radical ranks has oc? curred Lo Missouri. 'Twelve prominent gen? tlemen, among them Colonel W. M. Grosve? nor, calling themselves the Liberal Republi? can Executive Committee of st. Louis, have adopted a platform similar to that of the "New Departure'Republicans," of Cincinnati, declax i hg themselves in favor of universal amnesty and State rights, and opposed to the Presi? dent's Santo Domingo policy, to the Ku-Klux bill, and to a protective tariff. They deprecate the present policy of paying ?ff the national debt, and recommend reform m the civil ser? vice. -Fashions for this summer, says Le*. Follet are more simple, and therefore elegant, than during the overplus Ot po tiffs and other exag? gerations. Costumes, dress, mantle and un? derskirt alike will not be done away with. Evening dresses will be made long, either deml-lraln or very long, according to the oc? casion for which they are intended. The traius are cut squarer and the sides a little more accentuated. Bonnets are not so high, and there ls no end to the varieties of hats. : Tunics are worn very much draped, but not so much bouffant as formerly. -A Washington letter ot Friday says: "The olnt committee of twenty-one, ordered by Congress to investigate the condition of affaira' in the Southern States, have decided not to proceed on their mission at the present time, and have adjourned until the 10th of May, when they will meet in this city to mark but their programme for the summer. Some' members of the committee favor making atrip this spring and then return to Washington and summon witnesses to come here and testl . fy, while others urge ? postponement of the whole Inquiry till next fall. There does not ..appear to be /mich interest felt in the matter among a majorityW the members. According to a progamme mapped out by one or two, lt will cost the government a hundred thousand dollars to conduct the investigation." -Some of the thrilling episodes of the fight ng of the 6th before Paris are sketched by the New York World's correspondent : "Between the Arc de Triomphe, where lam writing, and the enceinte are crowns ot women awaiting the wounded as they ar J brought in, and recogniz? ing, at every mom-nt, the mangled^Ct.j of a son, a brother, a lover or a husband. As toe battalions of reinforcements march down the avenue to the gates and emerge therefrom to take part In the action, they are followed by crowds of these poor women as far as the en? ceinte. Every few momenta a shell irom Valeri? en or fourbe voie falls among them, but Paris l ans are accustomed now to these bon-bons, and pay little heed to them. I waa told this morn? ing that all the priests lu Paris were either In prison or in hidlug, but I have seen dozens ol' them to-day in the midst or the fighting, suc? coring tho wounded and shriving the dying. The incessant rattle of the musketry, the growling of the mitrailleurs, the roar of the cannon, the shock; bf the bursting shells, the shouts of the soldiers, the clamor of the drums, the moans, shrieks, prayers and Imprecations of the frenzied women, all make up a scene that fascluatBH, bul horrifies me. With the re. 1 nforcemeuts that ore now passing are march? ing some of the members ot the Commune, wearing their red scarfs ot otSoe, and harangu? ing the soldiers aa they go. -Prince Bismarck's speeches in the Belch Stag, at Berlin, during lue warm and long dis ousnlous ou the new draft of the Uermau con? stitution, are glveii in our mail advices. In reference lo the tuneodtnent moved by the Poles tor tue purpose ol' excluding the Polish districts from tue iederal territory, he said: "1 deuy Untune gentlemen wno propose lota motion have a right io apply the words ol tue ipeecn norn the uirone as tuej do. Reiereuce U there made to other nations and States, whose Independence ls to1 be respected. Th? gentlemen belong to no 'other nation and to po other State than Usai of the Prussians, of which I, too, am a member." With regard to recent events in France, Prince Bismarck made a statement to the following effect: '?It is both the Interest and the wish bf the allied governments to grant thc French Republic, with which they have signed pre? liminaries of peace, In Versailles, every possi? ble faclilty In the execution of the task it has undertake^, without being molested by any unreasonable Interference in the Internal affairs of France, on the part of Germany. This resolution, however, is conditional, and presupposes a strict adherence to the spirit of the stipulations contained In the above men? tioned preliminaries. Should the present gov? ernment, or the successors, be unable to ful? fil the conditions agreed on, Germany re? serves uer freedom of action, and must pro? ceed as the peculiar circumstances and re? gard to her own interests demand. The firm? ness and resolution that have distinguished Germ?n policy during the whole war will not be wanting In the sequel." The South and the Democracy. We publish this morning "An Address to the people of the United States," aigaed by every Democratio and Conservative member of the Senate and House or Representatives who was present in Washington when it was prepared. The Northern and Southern Con? gressmen unite in exposing the tyrannical usurpation of the Radical party, and io in? viting such co-operation on the part of the people as will check sectional agitation, and restore the States to their true relations with the Federal Union. The address is manly and bold, and, as the utterance of those who best know tlje iniquitous designs of ihv Radical leaders, must be ?odored by all who oppose that centralized dsspotism which is sought to be builded apon the ruins of a Constitutional Republic. Nothing that can be said in condemnation of the official conduct, and personal charac? ter, of the Radical governments which Re? construction foisted upon the Southern people will be stronger than the miserable truth. Bat this, to ns, ls a twice-told tale. Our mis-' sion is wholly different. We may point out to our Northern brethren the natara and ex? tent of oar wrongs, bat, here ia Sooth Caro? lina, we mast play a passive part in the war between Radical despotism and constitu? tional freedom. It is our duty to obey the laws, to recognize the practical privi? leges conferred upon the freedmen by the State and Federal constitutions, and, above all, to give no excuse for the declaration that Conservatism and Democracy ara other words for Riot and Revolution. Governor Scott told the troth when he said that Ku Klux outrages only unite the Radical party. And the address of the Democratic Con? gressmen points ont the imperative neces' .ly of refraining from playing into the hands of oar adversaries. This State ls potent for harm. The South Carolina Conservatives cannot insure the success of the Democratic party in the Presidential elections, bat they can go far to make certain its defeat. Ku Klux oatrages here mean Radical majorities in the North. We mast possess oar soals in patience. We must bear our lils in silence, remembering always that this people stand pledged to maintain the lawful privileges of all races of mea, and that, be? sides, every rash act, every violation of tbs law for political reasons,is deferring the dawn of the blessed day which shall see white man and black man, throughout the land, secare ia the enjoyment of trae freedom, contentment and peace. Stilton In Char teston. The Concert at the Academy of Music, on Saturday night, was the best and most com ? plete which this public bave bad the oppor? tunity of enjoying for very many years. All the artists who took part ia it stand deserv? edly high ia their profession. As a violin? ist, M. Vieuxtemps has no superior. Miss Cary is among the first of American con? traltos. Sigoor Brignoli, though time will tell, still warbles his ballads with the grace of style which marked his Binging when bis voice was ia its prime. M. Verger-whose first visit, we hope, wiH not be bis last-is a baritone of uncommon dramatic force. And Mlle. Nilsson, the Incomparable Swede, has aroused the enthusiasm, and won the hearty admiration, of the most critical and intelli? gent of oar people. For the first time, Charleston ls brought face to face with aa artiste who is more than we were led to ex? pect, and is greater than rumor made her. Mlle. Nilsson has a Btately presence, and a manner which is indescribably fascinating. The luminous dawn-gray eyes, the fair bright face, the wealth of golden hair, the coy poise of the head, the wondrous mobility of feature, the winning smile and queenly bearing, make up as charming a picture us artist ever drew, and establish her at once in the good graces of her public In this, lies one secret of Mlle. Nilsson's success. Half her aadieacs are ia love with her be? fore a note is sung. But her voice needs co apology, aod compels the applause of the most hypercritical "amateur. It is of large compass anet sufficient power, rich in tone, and wonderfully soft and clear in the low breathing notes, which, even now, linger in the ear of those who heard them on last Saturday Dight. Mlle. Nilsson's voice is j highly cultivated, and enables her to pro-, duce those wonderful effects of light and shade, the dainty fioriture and massive de? clamation, which give Lo her singing, even ia the coucert-room, so much dramatic force. There are, doubtless, singers who huve as pure a voice, or as mach artistic skill, or as much persoual grace, or us much fervor of expression ; but we do aol believe thal there is uny other singer un the jperatic stage, here or in Europe, who com bines all those rare qualities iu the exalted degree ia which they are possessed by Nilsson. No wonder, then, ihai Paris aod London placed the fair haired S wede on the pedestal with Patti, und thut we' "outside barbarians" are ready to fall down and worship at the shrine of musi? cal divinity. The three songs allotted, ia the pro-' gramme, to Mlle. Nillsun were all encored, ; aud, hud they had the conscience, the au dieuoe would nave encored them again aud again. Tbe well-known Una Voce was splendidly sung. Tins cavatina has been suugmauy a time; but Mlle, Nilsson gives to it a meuuiug, aud a poetic grace, which* it never bud-before Th* encore soug-a. bright ballad-w.ts ulmoal plaintive, iu spite ol' ita llluug melody. ?he cavatina from the ^raviata ^Ah ftmi e ftf? waa w?l chosen, for tt enabled Mlle. Nilsson to display, In 1 1. appy contrast, the compass* and power tit h er voice, as well as her surpassing fluency and precision of vocalization. As an en? core," Mlle. Nilsson sang "Home, Sweet Home." This was a lHtle gem. We may remark, en passant, that Mlle. Nilsson has a very slight accent, and speaks so dis? tinctly that every word of her English songs is easily understood. It was with baljads like '.'Home, Sweet Home," and the "Old Folks at Home," that Ia Diva took the Western States by storm. The scena from Lucia (with flute obligate by M. VieuxtempB) was, in its dramatic intensity and truth of expression, the aesthetic event, of the evening. It was, as usual, encored, and Mlle. Nilsson, gave, in its place, a lively aria, which made the audience plead for more. Mlle. Nilason.bowed her thanks, and shook ber head-instead of three pieces she had already song six. We confess that we cannot justify the practice of demanding, a repetition of songs with which an audience may be especially pleased. But, in this in? stance, there are extenuating circumstances. Mlle. Nilsson is a new revelation in Charleston, and the public are tempted to presume upon her evident good-nature and kindly feeling. Who can blame them ? Showers of choice bouquets- were bestowed opon Mlle. Nilsson during the evening, and if the fair lady 1s only one-half as pleased with Charleston as-Charleston is with her, we shall have an opportunity' of hearing her again before she returns for good to that Sweet Home, whose praise she sings so ten? derly. .We have left ourselves but little space Tor reviewing the artistic work of the other members of the company. ; Misa Cary has a full, rich contralto (or rather mezzo-so? prano) voice, and sang Ah Quel Giorno re? markably well. This being encored, she sang Kathleen Mavourneen with expression and. taste. Although this is an old, old song, it will always be a favorite when giveo by an artiste like Miss Cary. The duo, La Ci Darem (with M. Verger) was an attrac-' tive bit of singing. M. Yieuxtemps is still the great violinist of the old time.. He i3 a more brilliant performer now than when he visited Charleston twelve or fifteen years ago. Nothing stronger can be said. Both the Polonaise and the Arkansas Traveller (marvels of tone and execution) were en? cored. M. Verger is a vigorous and ex-. pressive sioger, and uses his fine voice to the best advantage. His Non ? Ver wa3 par? ticularly good. Signor Brignoli sang M' ap pari (with the serenade from Don Pasquale as an encore) and Come Into the Garden, Maud. The noble Gratias Agimics, from Rossini's Messe Solennelle, ended the per? formance. It was sung with grand effect by .Miss Cary, M. Verger and Signor Brignoli. We hope that the tour of Mlle. Nilsson through the South will be pleasant to her nod her companions, and we are confident that she wiH be received everywhere with the distinguished respect due to ber per? sonal merit and artistic reputation. This may induce her, and we trust that it will, to make a brief visit to our Southern cities when, with an organized opera company, she plays those characters which she has made peculiarly her own. Those who have not seen Mlle. Nilsson on the operatic stage do not know, even now, of what La Diva is capable. GDbitnarrj. BICKLEY-Departed thia life on the morning or the 281 h or March. 1871, at the borne or her daugh? ter, Mrs. E. T. Paine, near Marietta, Qa., Mrs. MART BICKLEY,' relict of tbe late John Bickley, Esq.. ot Charleston, S. C., aged 77 years. Ripe ror the harvest, her spirit has been borne by angels to the garner of the Lord, there to await its glorious reunion with the body lu that day "when the earth and the sea shall give up their dead, ' and her corruptible body changed and made in tne likeness or Christ's. Mr.-. Bickley had been ror years a member of St. John's (Lutheran) Church, ?ihacleston, and her tire exemplified the beauty or the religion which dwelt within her heart. A devoted wife and motber, her Joy was complete lu the happy circle or home; but her inexhaustible charity found that too cio?e a bound, and welled over aud rau abroad, refreshing many sonia. IQ the dava of her pr osperity, Bhc followed the A OJ th-'s injunction, and ''used hospitality wi h out fudging." and when povuty forbade the 8|ireadtug uf the feasr, her warm xmlie and cor? dial welcome more than supplied the loss. A rew privl eged friends wi-newsed tne pirti mr between her aged past ir. the Rev. Dr. Bachman, ? and herself. Truly touching was the seene, two ve a era bl'1 pilgrims of the dross, parting tn meet no more on this side Heaven. She was then on the eve of removal to Qeonrla, where sue found a grave, but not berure she hud won a place in ouny devoted hearts. Her beloved pa-tor was not by to sooth ber bed or death, and point to the one wtto has made the dark valley bnzht; yet she was attended by two fa tarni clergymen, who also committed hei body to the dust or tue Eplsoopat bunal ground. Marietta, who-o now the hana or friendship places flower wreaths on her grave. "She bas escaped all danger non-, Her pain and sighing uii are fled; The crown <?r Joy ls on her brow. Eternal glories o'er her shed." Thererore, bereaved daughter and afflicted son, weep no more, bui set yo.nr affections on things j above, and "where your treasure ls let your hearts be al o," nant ?our spirts are called to mingle wita her's in the Paradise of Cod. . 0. 0. P. ~j2?**THE THREE DYSPEPTICS.--HERE ls an extract from a letter received by Messrs.
