In sTfew moments Mrs. Strieker waa seized with convulsions and by direction of a physician who had been sum? moned, was Immediately removed from Mrs. Wharton's bouse. The physician!, it Is said, insisted'that tbe lady should at once be re? na ovtd.froni Mrs. ? Wharton's.

The- numerous monu? ments of power, ol patriotism and of benefi? cence, recalling the lime when Lubeck stood at the head of the confederation of cities-a confederation whose fleets commanded the sea and made war with kingdoms-the venera? ble town hail, the lofty towers, the protecting bulwarks with their shady trees, the great ships upon the narrow river, tbe ancient gates-one of which is so admirably- repre? sented in the document you have sent me? are the. earliest recollections of my childhood. But, Ineffaceable as they, there remained in my heart the Impatience with which I then witnessed the violent preponderance of France. My whole life bas been spent under the feeling of the powerlessness of Germany against her over-exacting neighbor, until at last, under the ! flag of Prussia, tbe nation bas risen to the struggle which, by God's help, has assured the union and the strength ol the country. And, in that struggle, the children ofyour city, brave among the bravest, have talen part. May a long and happy peace compensate ns for tbe sacrifices which were inevitable, and may Germany, with her an? cient and venerable Lubeck, develop ber greatness, and march forward to new desti? nies," -Phoebe Cary, who died at Newport, R. L, July 3lst, was a native of Ohio, born In 1825, in the Miami Valley, about eight miles north of Cincinnati. Pbuebe and ber sister, Alice Cary, born in 1820, were the daughters of Robert Cary, a plain larmer, and grew up OB simple country girls, owing most of their early education to their mother. They saw foV books, but acquired a familiarity with natural scenes which afterwards was displayed in their writings.. At an early age they contributed poems and sketches to the Cincinnati weekly papers, and next~-wrote for the "National Era.* TulMra^roTameofpoems byAlioe-and Phoebe Cary, one-third of which was furnish -ed by the youngest sister, was published_ln Philadelphia. This volume was received with great praise, and in 1850 the sisters resolved upon going to New-York to "seek their for? tunes," and resided for many years In that city in a house Ot their own, which formed the centre of an agreeable literary circle. Alice Cary published seven or eigbt books, and Phoebe published two, both being volumes ol poetry. The style of the elder sister was t?n? der and emotional, while that of the younger, although marked by a sentimental vein, was chat acterized also by strong humor, with a ten? dency to burlesque. Alice Cary, it may be re. membered, died on February 12tb, 1871, and the effect of the loss, it is believed, broke down tbe constitution of Phoebe, who soon I followed the sister to whom she was tenderly j attached._-_ The Greetings to Charleston. . * This good city tastes already the first sweers of the priceless victory won at the polls on Wednesday. From all parts of the I Southern country come pleasant words of hearty congratulation. There has been, at times, even in the South, a suspicion of doubt and misunderstanding; but sympathy and love, born of battles gained and pangs endured together, rise above the current of political thought, and find expression in the booming of artillery on the shores of the Savannah, as in the plaudits which every Southern State bestows, with no muffled voice, upon a people who have, through toil and travail, worked out their own redemp? tion. Our joy is theirs, as their joy shall be ours. They are nearer to the goal, but South Carolina, after weary delays, has en? tered upon the long walk where opens a broad vista of plenteousness and* peace. This, to the peoples of - the South, is the plain meaning of the overthrow, in this city, of the league whose rule has encouraged ignorance, and set .brazen infamy in the high places of the public temple. Nor are South Carolinians laggards in giving tongue to their content. Every county in-the State greets Charleston with phrases as candid as sincere. The Palmet ? to State, from the passes of the" mountains to the golden sands of the coast, .?Is breathed upon by Hope's perpetual breath." For Charleston was regarded as a city for? saken and lost; asa city all whose glories belonged to the ever memorable past. It was believed thal Charleston must be slow to shake off the yoke, because upon her broad bosom pressed with grievous force the burden of Radical wrong-doing. All earlier straggles for deliverance had been vain. Her own people spoke as those who have no. confidence in their own energy and skill. The political situation was, upon the sur? face, as discouraging as in 1868. ? But when the hosts were marshalled and the banners raised, doubts and fears were pnt away, and the whole line moved forward with a quiet enthusiasm which cheered the souls of the people. The fight was won against tremen? dous odds. AU the powers -of Radicalism were leagued against us. No wonder, then, that South Carolina is buoyant and light of heart this day. What Charleston bas done the whole State may do. The campaign was short and sharp, and is splendidly decisive Our can- j didates were wisely chosen, representing all classes, and commanding the respect of the opposition. Work and fair dealing did the rest. It is true that the opposing party, by the infamous character of their candidates, and by the riot and marauding which gaven bad pre-eminence to the last hours of the contest, depressed their worthiest leaders and gave a corresponding encouragement to the phalanx which moved forward to en? counter them. This, however, does not ac? count for our marvellous success. That is the fruit of nominating good men; and of sap porting them with brain and muscle.. It is the re? ult of devoting three days of time to Watching the polls and protecting timid voters. And it is oar own fault if Charles? ton ever have again a government conduct? ed in the interest of a political party, and for purposes of personal profit. Two years of just and equal government will convince all classes and all races, as no words can convince them, that it is to their interest, to keep the city ander the control of jost, hon? orable and experienced men. The colored people will be satisfied before many months are past that a city government has not the power, if it had the will, to return them to bondage. They will find that they enjoy more comfort and security, and earn more money, ander Wagener than under Ihe "pa? ternal rule" of Pillsbury. And they and the whites, acting together even more gene? rally than at last election day, caa at any time defeat the disturbing Radical faction, and can make Charleston a model of rational progress and steadily increasing prosperity. In this way Charleston may exert an influ ence which will be felt at every election in every county in the State. For the good words which reach Charles? ton, for the kindly phrases in which we and the city are praised, we are deeply grateful. They are garnered up in the heart of hearts j of this people, and, as an evidence of gener? ous confidence and afi'ection, shall never be J forgotten. _ The Spirit of the Defeated. From the beginning it was evident that .there wa3 not a ghost of a chance for the Radicals to contest successfully the munici? pal election of last Wednesday. Tbis is now publicly confessed tn the lower deep as well as the higher circles of "the party," where Lieuteuant-Governor Ransier's declaration that "no protest will be gotten up," and that 6uch a thing "ought not to be thought "of," meets with lugubrious approval. The Organ goes a step beyond this,.in announc? ing that the election "was probably about as "fair as any election can be. in the disturbed "condition of oar politics," and in urging all "to submit gracefully and heartily to the "present decree of thepeopie." Daddy Cain, also, bas his say. To him it is a "sad com "ment on the morale of the Radical leaders, "that it requires thousands of dollars to get "them to withdraw from the ticket because "of their unpopularity with the people." He vows, moreover, curiously enough, that "tho "people of Charleston will not be ruled by "d?magogues," and sorely inteade td devote Mmselff&ereafjpr to^^joyicgV: the s|^rse .profits ;bf po?tico-r?jiigioaB journai^ra?" In conclusion, be-gives;the coloreb/people some sound.radviceV- telling them that tte'Mdyor '.and Aldermen elect are "citizeDB of worth,* ri?nbnor, integrity and property, and will, "when they enter apon the discharge-oi their "duties, seek lo benefit all classes ofth&cil "izens." - - - . --? . These words, if sincerely ottered, augur well for the future of Charleston. -?..???'?> Owning TJp;. We asked the .Radical- Organ to have the candor to tell its colored readers that the Citizens' party have stood squarely up to their pledges to the colored Aldermen nom? inated on their ticket. The answer comes in theBe words : ' "We are not the least afraid to answer the question of the NEWS. When the Citizens' party do right by our colored citizens, they should receive commendation. They have kept their pledges in electing the colored men they nominated." The Lee Monument. A movement to erect a bronze statue to Fitz Greene HaJieck, one of the minor America;i poets, was begun in Kew York a few weeks ago. Already more than one-half of the amount ne?ded for the statue has been subscribed. ? movement to erect a monu? ment to General Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest men of the South, was begun in Richmond marjy months ago. Nobody knows what amount has been subscribed. At the time of General Lee's death, he would have been a bold man who would have affronted Lee's countrymen-his cquntry was the South-by venturing to doubt that ? million of dollars could easily and quickly be collected' for any purpose, the object of which was to do honor to his memory. . In the first outburst o? grief, when .hearts were soft, a tenth part of this sam might, perhaps, have been raised, if the collections could have been made in the instant Bat grief cools rapidly. Large Bums are not to be gathered in a day. Calm heads re? membered that .Virginia had allowed the home and grave sf Washington to become the property of aliens. Reflecting men could not efface the picture of that national dis? grace, the unfinished monument of Wash? ington in the city named after him. There it stands a deformity and a mockery, as if to point a raordl. Millions upon millions have been squandered to preserve anion at the ex? pense of liberty, to fill the pockets of thieves and to debauch the national sense of probi? ty, but not one dollar to complete the monu? ment to the maa whose wisdom and courage achieved both liberty and union. And there it is likely to stand, while untold millions more are squandered. Nay, as this tr?ncate spectre has looked down upon the prostrate form of Liberty, it may yet look down apon a .shattered Union. . Before completion, it may share the fate of the column of Ven? dome. There seems to have been unnecessary and excessively unpleasing dispute as to who should be the medium of Southern contribu? tions to the Lee monument. Washington College, now the Washington and Lee Uni? versity, put in its claim not only to the ashes of the great chieftain, but to his mon? ument as wei!. The Ladies'- Memorial Asso? ciation of Richmond made, a- modest but' prompt movement in the monument direc? tion. Lastly the Association of Confederate Soldiers and Sailors, with ? General Early at its head, claimed, and not without some show of justice, the right to collect the funds required and to build a monument worthy of General Lee's fame. Of the three, Wash? ington College alone has made progress. We hear of a sarcophagus, ."not costly, to be erected in the College Chapel at Lexington. From the Ladids'Monument Association, we hear nothing whatever. From General Ear? ly we have obtained, within the past fort? night, some pointed correspondence with a brother officer. The Southern people would be better pleased could they soe a more ami? cable blt of writing-say . a report of what has been, done by the Association of whieh he is the head. The Southern people are be. ginning to be 'afraid that in Early's hands the Lee Monument will not make progress, and may fail to be completed within the car rent year. History of the South Carolina College. Dr. LaBbrde, whose "History of the South "Carolina College" appeared just before the war, has in the publishers' hands a second edition of the work. The new edition brings down the history to the end of the College and the beginning of the University; so that as a history of the College it is complete. The work has been enlarged by the addition of several biographical sketches of much in? terest, among whicb/are these of the Hon. R. W. Barnwell and Judge Longstreet The work is to be published, by subscription, in Columbia. % The Latest View of Reconstruction. [From The Nation.] Surely lt ls not wonderful that the respec? table portion of Southern society, seeing what rogues and thieves their rulers and law-mak? ers are, should not be very earnest In putting down tbe bands of lawless young men who, if they do disgrace themselves, their State, and often humanity itself, do also sometimes whip a greedy tax-collector, shoot a bribed law? maker, and compel a disreputable office-seek? er or office-holder to run the country. It was only this iaat week that the leading Republi? can paper of Charleston, while supporting no less Radical a candidate than Mr. Gilbert Pills? bury, an old-time Abolitionist, who is now the Mayor of the city, and is up for re-election, pronounced a good part of the rest ot thc tick? et an insult to the honesty, inteligence, and decency of the party, lt was of necessity that, in a country like the South, violence should be the response to the frauds and rascalities car? ried on by such peculiarly sneaking and base rogues as were too many of Hie Southern "carpet-baggers." lu view of the cost of re? construction in money, in thc reputation ^ the North, in the embittering of the Soutb, in the wrenching which Buch legislation as the Ku-Klnx law has given our syBtem of govern? ment, it is far from clear that lt would not have been cheaper if we had abandoned Mr. Lincoln's Byst?m of galvanized States, and garrisoned the Southern county for "five years, keeping lt in order with soldiers till the South? erners themselves were ready to behave sen? sibly. It would have cost us fully ns little In money, Constitution, and cr?ditas we have had to pay out on the other system; and. we are not done yet. iftintrol SToticts. ^?THE RELATIVES, FRIENDS AND acqaalntances of Mr. and Mrs. A.
