We have had, as elsewhere a very unfavorable spring for the cotton crop. The planters lu ibis section generally early In the season had good stands of co ton, but the cold and rainy weather about the 1st of May killed out much or the young cotton, and checked the g-c wt h of what did not die; but the pleasant and dry weather lo thc lat? ter pa t ot May enabled the planters to work heir crops well, and greatly Improved the prospee+for a ralr average yield, we have had ror a weeK a spell or wet weather, with heavy rains dally, and 'eti'l continuing io such an extent as to suspend all field ooerauons.

A Ko-KLUX IN'OUR^MID?T.- Last' Sunday morning a small negro boy, apparently about eight years of age. was discovered perambulating the streets with a large calabash pendant from each ear*, and clothe'! ia a single raggeu garment, reaching from Ms neck to his heels. This unu-.ua1 exhibition aroused the suspicions ot a policeman, who immediately'arrested the queer turnout and locked iu up in the Guardhouse on the charge of vagrancy. The boy gave hts name as Daniel ?Carry, end almost without an examination he was sentenced by the Mayor to twenty days in jail as a vagrant. Owing to the complaints of the diminutive prisoner, his person was subsequently examined. The body was found to be torn and ' lacerated m a frightful manner with cuts from a a lash, and the wounds had fest ered for want of proper attention. He had been flogged most brutal? ly, and the sickening brutality or the deed aroused the indignation of all-beholders.- Tn? caw waa brought before Trial Justice "Maj ra th, and a w'ar rsntjaeuflrt for tu* -arrest of a 00rared drayman named George Heyward, on the charge of assault and battery.

In response to the call published in the morning papers of yesterday, Hibernian Ball waaScr^de4^38*t evening with representatives frorjfc"?T$,d 2. *7fee strength oft th?* meeting, and the^timeroniiTepres?uta:ives' froln-dM classes and parties, gave a sure proof of the general want of confidence in rhe present administration, and the strong tendency tn favor of laying aside pollt.cs, and electing a reliable, conservative "Mayoritnd CltyTJonnCll. Many Republicans and Radicals attended, whose actions and speeches promised much for a quiet election that would ^prove Mitl-factory to ad clttzens. The ineetlng-was called to order by- Winiam L. -Daggett, Esq., of tbe Courier, being requested to act as temporary chairman. Mr. D., on taking the chair, said : Ft??ovo-cltUens-We are about tc? organize for ene of the most important elections ever held in Charleston-the municipal election to come off early In August nexr. In doing so, we should be careful to avoid everything which ls calen lated to engender bad reefing on the part, of those whom we must believe are opposed to u \ as well ss to STOW everythhiK calculated to lead ns futo a partisan contest. We do net propose, as I on* darstand lt, to array ourselves -against anyparty. Our object 1B to secure fdr the City of Charleston a government which wlil guarantee a Judicious expenditure of money In all departments of the city administration, asd a consequent redaction of taxes, as well as equal jus- ice to all classes of the community. Oar wacd meetings, as I view-their objects, should be for work sud ror consultation, and not for speech-making, which roo frequently engend, ers bad feelings. Let ns avoid the use or epithets, which can do our cause no goad, but, on the con? trary, nTay do it great harm. Oar object ls a good, one, and, I believe, If properly conducted, will be -crowned with success. We must, from tbe outset, seek the co-operation of all interests and classes; and in order to secure that co operation which la essential to success, we tuust not only be moderate In our views, b.nt at the same time conciliatory. I do net mean that we mustsaorlace our political principles, Because the ?le?tioii we are-abotrt ro engage m has nothing whate ver to do with politics. I mean that we most abolish politics from our meetings, and in? vite to oar counsels the Republican as well as the Democrat-the white manas well as the colored man-^lf they favor our object. We want the co? operation, of all classes la a cause which ls to bene dtallaUke,. * - I believe, too, ir we conduct the canvass In the manner which I have Indicated, we will be re? warded with suc?es, the grand result or which will be the meauB of placing oar old battle-scarred city on the road or progress again, where she will soon loom up In that commercial-Importance which nature destined her to occupy. Further, I believe tr we are successlul that In a short time our burnt districts, which now are grazing places ror cattle, and heart sickening to us all, will be merry wltb the once familiar sounds or the trowel and the hammer. Then the laboring man will be able to go home to his family on a Saturday night with dollars In his Socket, lu the place ?i dimes which he takes onie now. Such a change will be beneOcl?l to sli, because it wril lighten the taxes and make our old city look cheerful again. Let me ask. ls there a man In the Ut y or Charleston who would not make any sacrifice within his reach rohring about such a resale? -I venture to say there is not one. And 1 sincerely believe that ir we are successful tn the objects for which we*are about to organize, the cooU results to which l have alluded, will certainly follow. The meeting la now ready to proceed to busi? ness. lu response to numerous calls a colored man named Pishbura arose abd said he was a Repub? lican, and no mistake. He was a Radical Repub? lican, but he had made up his mind to fight this campaign on one Une against two men now In or? nee. Gilbert Pillsbury sud Captain Hendricks. He had no more use ror these two than ror a snake, [applause,] and be wanted bis words to be pub? lished sbrosd. He did not think his Radical principles were compromised by supporting good men for the city administration, and he would do bis best for them against Pillsbury and Hen? dricks. [Applause ] During the absence er the committee, Mr. James Simons, Jr., addressed the meeting la a brier speech, and was warmly received. Mr. T. J; Mackey was next called ror, and re? sponded by saving that he was a Republican, but st the same time he was a-South Carolinian, and he hoped the cause would succeed. - Mr. E. W. M. Mackey was requested to express his views, but deeltued and said that he had merely called to look on and see what was going on, and that he might sustain ehe movement. The committee appointed to nominate perma? nent officers to control the meetings or the ward ia the coming campaign, reported as follows: W. L. Daggett, president ; George H. Moffatt, first rtee-prealdoftt; James simona, Jf., second j vice -resident; Stephen Mctkur, piled] vice-president: ?Itu H. o-tend or ff. recording secretary; ll-w. lYlgg.correspondlng secretary; W. B. Mlnott, trea? surer. Loud aid repeated calls ror "Sam Dickerson" low* resounded through the meeting, and at ength tn response to the call the irrepressible KsJ?r ssce-idssVthe stage.^ He ffdd, ?in; the first place, he thanked them ror this '.spontaneous" tali: secondly, not having much time, he would -orne tight down u&Ht&r and murd ly, ne did not ?vant to tread on anybody's corns, but tr he did io, hs asked leave to apologize. He was a Repub less-i and sad rou fr* it a* hard ss snyBody for foo r tears. He came to this meeting. toJtsten, but *ing forced to*spe*k, ne wouM discuss what was obs done. He thought he could tell a thing or wo'from his- expel.?ce.~ He "had Just rettrrned rom the North, .where? he . had tajteed Xo he leading Republicans, t u as Greeley, aiton, . Clafldn/ and ?teVart, and - lad come jack a changed man. Some people thought ie had gone North to lecture about the Ku? nu*, Ac, but this was not so. ir he had done o, he knew that when he got back thc town vould have been too hot ror him. He had spoken o many Republicans on these matters since his eturn, and they bad been cogitating for some lme over what was to.be done. It was time for ? he blaok men-"the moles that pull the political art, sud can't get shavings for dinner"-to look mt ror themselves. He wanted lt to be distinctly inderstood that he did not consider that he For? feited one lota or his Republican principles by oining in this Conservative movement, but he ex >ected, nevertheless, to hear to-day that Sam dickerson had Jumped over the renee, and was a Democrat. He asked a mend to look down he busiest street or the city st midday, ind say why trade was so doll, and .he town so still, lt was Want or confidence n the present administration. Hld any one ever iee, in ante-bellum times, one alderman with lour carts on the street with rour drivers, and these going to the Almshouse and d- awing their rations. The city pays three dollars apiece ror the carts, and rations-that ls, twelve dollars a lay. This alderman's son has two carts on the same terras. Another son has one cart, and sells ill the brick and lime. Another alderman's son was assistant city inspector, and James F. Greene was both harbor master and keeper or tho powder magazine at one and the tame time. The same alderman with the rour carts had one jon who did all the tin work Tor the city, and another son was flour inspector. The whole family was provided for, rrom grandmother down. The poor widow who before could put her cart on the-street must now give way till the alder-, man's ramify were provided for. Alder? man Smalls and he were members or the same church, but he had to tell the truth. While he did not have bat a "lousy" five cent lost or bread and some mean coffee for breakfast, there was Alderman Small doing all the brick and mortar work, under contract, before hlB very door. These things could not last. He thought the colored men could best subserve their interest by going to the white men.and say? ing, we have been at arms-length, but let us meet hair way; let ns unite and put reliable men In office, and give the city a chance. In .doing this they would not be any worse Repabilcans, but act like citizens who were willing to do their best for the city they lived in. The major was In? terrupted by cheers, and len the stage amid a storm cl applause. On motion or Mr. Miller, the following resolu? tion was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That while recognizing the spirit or Ward 8, as shown in the resolution passed at. its last meeting, looking to an early action lu the matter or selecting delegates to the convention to be held to nominate a Mayor and Aldermen for thlB etty, to be voted for at the coming elec? tion, we would respectfully request that a later a*j be named, say the -29th instant, at which time the respective wards are invited to assemble at their various places of meeting, to make In general a selection or delegates to attend said convention, which we suggest shonld meet on the stb or July. The meeting then adjourned. THE POPE'S JUBILEE.-On the sixteenth of this month Pope Pins IX will have Siled his high position for twenty-five years. The situaron [g?ustbeone of considerable'apprehension if the fuoly Eather reverences popular tradition. The annals or the church state that St. Peter's pon? tificate lasted just a quat ter century, and ancient prophecy has it that the "years or Peter" will never again be completed except by the last of the long line.or Popes, AS ir In confirmation or this prediction, no successor or' the first Bishop'or j Rome has filled the chair ror that length or.ttme, and- lt now remains to bp seen whether Pms IX wHKconnrm tradition by dying within the week to come, or harass the souls or the credulous raKhrul?by living to be, according to the prophecy, trie last of th? Popes. The alternative must in? deed be distressing, and we' may imagine the Pontlrr counting the hours .with nervous appre- j benslon. But, au tough showing the advances of age and the wear and tear or the arduous duties of his position, Pope Plus IX win doubtless pass the critical sixteenth of June without yielding to the unwritten law which compels him to die be? fore that date; and as ror the alternative which | would make him the last ot the Popes, although he has lived to Eee the Papacy sho'ra or its tem? poral power, there ls no prospect that the spirit? ual pontificate will lack an incumbent ror many times the years or Peter. The Roman Catholics all over the world are pre? paring to celebrate the occasion or the twenty fifth anniversary bf the election of Pope Plus with especial magnificence; and in Charleston, we learn, arrangements are on foot to honor the event tn becoming style A meeting or the Catholic Institute waa held last evening, and a committee composed of ten >ge_Bt;emen from each congregation, to make ar? rangements for the celebration, (which will take place on Saturday, the 17th Instant, at half-past 7 o'clock, at the Cathedral groundB) was appointed. A band of music ls to be In attendance, and the ruins of the Cathedral, as well as the hall of tba] Institute, are to be illuminated. There will, be sldeB, be a general display of fireworks'. Speakers will be invited to address the. meeting, and sr Ba? late or twenty-five guns will be fired at sunset in .aoenr. ol Jl?e twenty-five completed years of the pontificate. The committee are requested to meet at the Cathou: Institute Hall at 8 o'clock this evening. OBSEQUIES OP SISTER MARTHA O'GORMAN. We are indebted to a friend or the deceased for the following account of the impressive ceremo? nies In connection "Pith the funeral of the much lamented Sister Martha: The remains or Sister Martha, who died rn last Saturday, the loth instant, lu the Convent or "Our Lady or Mercy," Queen street, were brought to the Cathedral Cliap?l yesterday morning. A Re? quiem High Maas was celebrated for her repose by the Very Rev. Dr. Bermingham, V. G., assisted by Rev. Harry Northrop, as deacon ; Rev. Father Fullerton, as sab-deacon, and Rev. Father Quig ly, as master of ceremonies. Save one priest, who was indisposed, all the Catholic clergy or the city were in the aftoctoary. After mass, Very Rev. Dr. Bermingham made a brier allusion to the lire or the departed sister. It is'appointed, said he, for all men to die,, and none can escape death. The saint and sinner m. :&?'>; and the good Sis? ter Martha ls no more. She waa born In the City of Cork, in the "island or Saints." The Rigbt Rev. Dr. England was acquainted with her fami? ly, and knew their piety and virtues. When he became Blshof) or Charleston, he saw the necessi? ty or having a religious community to give a literary and moral education ta the Catholic I young ladies and children. In the providence or God, be succeeded lb getting the two Misses O'Gorman's, his former acquaintances In Cork. The two slaters, accompanied by their niece,' then a girl, were the first rounders or the "Sisters or Mercy " In Charleston. The elder sister was Installed Mo her Superior, and held the office 'till her death. The mece. MISB Barry, has been since well known to oar citizens BB "Mother Teresa," having been elected ror many terms to that office by her Slaters. For abont forty years the late Sister Martha has labored ror God and His Church, and His orphans, as well ss' ror the sick and the needy in Charleston, as circumstances required. She ueeds no eulogy, as the crowds who visited her remains during the last two days fully testi? fied. .Besides, virtue ls Its own reward, its own eulogy, an embodiment of the purest and highest morality in action. Such was the life and exam? ple or Sister Martha; and though gifted with a strong origma! mind and keen perceptions, they were the more evident and appreciated in hf-r great simplicity or character and manner.
