The ex-leader of fashions was very plainly dresffe*. She wore a very simple black trav? elling suit, and no jewelry of any description. -Dr. 8. Maupln, professor at the University of Virginia, was thrown out of a carriage on the 19th, while returning to Lynchburg lrora the fair grounds, and was BO severely injured that he died at ten o'clock the same evening. -The St Louis Republican a few days ago recommended the Democratic party to make no Presidential nominations for 1872, but, leave the Conservative BepuJiHeans to put up a candidate in opposition to the nominee of the Radical wing. These were the tactics successfully availed ol to rescue Missouri from the control of the Bame wing of that party. It is now stated that the article favoring this policy was written by Carl Schurz, which, however, is ver' doubtful. -A Chicago correspondent writeB : "The relief committee are feeding seventy-five thousand people a day. They calculate that it will cost a million dollars every twenty days to dc lt. Butas the system becomes better es? tablished, they .will be able to discriminate more closely than they can do now between genuine distress and Imposture. They have been dealing ont ratlonB to judges of the Su? preme Court of Illinois, the leaders of the Chi? cago bar, and Chicago bankers; bat it ls to be hoped this ls transient They will be able, too, to reduce waste to a minimum. Their re? sources are chltfly the gifts which have come to taem. The provisions are stored in the skating rink, a great barn on the north aide, which seems to be two-thirds full. They value Its contents at half a million. Their most ur? gent need now they represent to be of cloth? ing, and bedding." -A mornington telegram say?:- -rh? pro? clamation suspending the writ of habeas corpuf In South Carolina does not take among the political lrlends of the administration with that iurore which its instigators hoped to ac? complish. On the contrary, lt ls being looked upon by many Republicans aslll-timedand un? willed lor. The evidences by the so-called Ku Klux organization belog a political movement, are wanting to give Btrength to the assertions that such a proclamation was necessary. None ol the public departments here, not even the bureau of justice, which has the prosecution ol Ku-KIux abettors under its special supervi? sion, have discovered tba., the alleged bands, var.clans, are sustained by any political senti? ment In the South unless lt be of those who hope to make capital thereby. It begins to be shown that Republican leaders, as well as the business communities generally In the Nortb, ar? becoming disgusted with the repeated and unjustifiable reports of general outlawry in Southern States." -The Western rlvsls of Chicago are already preparing to appropriate the business on which that city has thriven. The St. Louis Republican publishes statistics of the trade of Chicago, points to the great void occasioned In the commerce of the Northwest, and claims that a new duty devolves upon St Louis. That duty is not to wrest from Chicago its le? gitimate trade, but to supply the regions now cut offfrom the Lake City. Tne St. Louis people are exhorted not to be idle, but to go at once Into the field, buy the larmer's crops, and sell him the "store goods'' he wants. As one means of securing this trade, the employment of the many Idle men in Chicago-merchants who have lost all as well as salesmen, thrown out of a situation-who know the men, the lawsand the trade of the Northwest, is invi? ted. These would serve St. Louis's interest, and form an addition to the population. Cin? cinnati, Milwaukee and some other enterpris? ing places are also quietly conspiring against ' the burned-out city. -Chicago will remain, as lone as the world endures, a synonym not only for the greatest conflagration but also the noblest exhibition of charity ever witnessed. The prodigious sum of $5,000,000 have been given to the distressed Inhabitants ot that city within the past ten days; and, according to a calculation, this would, if divided equally among the sufferers, provide two hundred dol'ars for each fam'ly. This ls a small amount lor the comparatively few wealthy families that are affected by the fire, b Jt to the great majority it will prove am? ple for the time being, and until the labor, which will Inevitably be required soon in re? building the city, shall have been begun. The danger now is that in the confusion of the mo cant charity may be misapplied. It is pleas? ant to reflect that the citizens are thus placed beyond the reach of absolute want, and the liberal heart turns instinctively to the poor victims of the forest conflagrations in Michi? gan and Wisconsin. I ; are fewer than the Chicago Bufferers, but their destitution ls at present more complete and pitiable. The Chi cagoans have at least a teut to sleep under and plenty of edibles. The foresters have not where to lay their heads, and are many ol them without a crust of bread. Mostly foreign? ers, penniless and famishing, they appeal em? phatically for ins: ant relief. -Bradlaugh, the English Republican leader, publicly declares the Queen of England insane, In a speech delivered to an immense assem? blage ol workingmen in London, and the rep? resentatives of the English working-classes have Issued an address pronouncing tor a s?paration of Church and State. Taken in connection with the fact thai. Bradlaugh, lu the speech ?eferre to, cilled tor .i recency to administer n e goveriimeat until the republic sheultl be established ot some luture time, these utterances appear to be important Lloyd's Weekly, a Republican Journal of Lon? don, also publishes a statement of some im? portance, which annouuceB a fusion of certain Conservative leaders in and out of Parliament including a number or prominent peers-with the Workingmen's p. Jty, whereby resolutions will be brought up, at the next session of Parliament in the House of Lords, provid? ing for a number ot vital changes in the present land laws. These changes will be lor the benefit ol the workingmen, and will bc 'n consonance with their reiterated demands in their newspaper organs and at their public m-ietlogs, and will be vigorously pressed upon the government hythe Conservative Lords who belong to the alliance. Among the fif? teen peers, baronets and other influential Con? servative leaders who are said to have entered Into this movement, are mentioned the Mar? quis of Salisbury, Slr Stafford Northcote, the Duke ol Richmond, Lord Lindsey, and Sir John Park'ngton. ThlB progress toward Re? publicanism in Great Britain-for so it must be considered-warrants the supposition that, after all, there may be a Berious revolution in England when, on the death of the Queen, the Prince of Wales presents himself as King ef England to a people who are evidently anx? ious for a change in the political system under which they live. The Ring vi. The People. On Thursday last Judge Graham granted a writ of Mandamus, requiring the City Council to meet on Wednesday Dext and hear the protest against the late municipal electjpo, concocted by Mayor Pillsbury and his henchmen, Captain Hendricks and Alder? man Collins. Failing this, the Council must show cause before Judge Graham, on Satur? day next, why they have failed lo comply with the reqjirement of the writ. -It may be well to recall to the memory of | the puolic the hiBtory ol that municipal re? form movement, whose natural and legiti? mate result waa the victory of the 2d Auj U3t, when the Citizens' candidates for Mayor and Aldermen of Charleston were elected by a majority of sereu hundred and seventy seven votes. In 1868 the Mayo: of Charleston was Mr. G. W. Clark, a strong Republican, the pre? sent collector of the port. He and the board of aldermen were appointed to office by the military authorities. At the special session of the General Assembly, held under the new or Reconstruction constitution, an election for mayor and aldermen of Charles? ton was ordered to be held on the F?cond Tuesday of November. ' There were two set) of candidates; but e?en at that time all political questions were, on the part of the conservative citizens, studiously excluded from the canvass. Tue Radicals, on the other hand, made the election a party ques? tion, and Mr. Gilbert Pillsbury and his aldermen were elected by a majority of twenty-three votes. There were, however, so many manifest irregularities in the pro? ceedings of the managers and others, that the validity of the election was at once con? tested. Under the State law, when "the "election of a majority of the persons voted "for is contested, or the managers are "charged with illegal conduct," the ca3e must be investigated by the ac iDg alder? men, whose places that election is to lill, and "their decision shall be binding upon "all parlies." The case was accordingly in vestigatejLatlength by Mayor Clark antLhis aldermen, all of whom were military ap po Ueee, and most of whom were pronounc Republicans. These, after hearing the testimony and arguments of counsel, de? cided that there bad been "no legal and "valid election." This decision, declared by law to be "binding upon all parties," was rendered on November 28, 18C8. The case wa3 now carried before the courts, and was again decided against Pillsbury and his aldermen. In the meantime, Mayor Clark and his aldermen remained in office; but in March, 1S69, the Legislature, in defiance of ? their own law and the decision of the courts, passed an act declaring the elec? tion of November, 18C8, "valid to all in "teDts and purposes." Under this act Mayor Pillsbury and his aldermen took office. No sooner were they installed than a majority of their number proceeded to turn the victory to account As they were legislated into their seats by a Radical Legis? lature, they made instant changes in the city government, appointing notoriously unfit men to responsible positions only on account of their fealty to party. As time wore on it became evident that tho Pillsbury council hud neither the skill nor the hon? esty necessary for dealing with the compli? cated questions of debt and taxation. Money was lavishly spent w:tbout~~?ther benefit than the enricbiug of the officers of the eily government. Confidence, never strong, be? came weaker every day until it was entirely lost. There was only ono hope; that in 1871 the citizens of Charleston, discarding pol? itic?, might elect a mayor and uldennen who would worthily represent the integrity, experience and ability of the city. Alarmed at the idea that the municipal reformers might drive them from thc offices which they disgraced, a delegation of the Pilis buryites was sent to Columbia. These con? trived to secare the passage of a bill requir? ing the municipal election to be held on August 2d, 1871, instead cf November. In August a large number of persons are ab? sent from Charleston, on business or on pleas? ure, and every absentee wa3 expected to count n3 a vote lost to the opponents of the Pillsbury party. -Under the new law the election was accordingly held. Mayor Pillsbury was a candidate for re? election. The Radical organ, the ?{"publi? can, supported his claims, but urged, day alter day, the importance of eschewing poli? tics and of electiog aldermen whom the people might trust. But this did not suit the Pillsburyite3. They held their conven? tion, and nominated a ticket so scandalously weak and rotleu a3 to provoke the angry denunciations of the Republican, and of all the respectable members of its party. A few of the candidates were highly respecta? ble men-the rest were fools or knaves, or boll). We may aid that live responsible citizens, whom the Pillsburyites nominated to strengthen their ticket, indiguautly de? clined lo remain in so equivocal a company. The Republican at once annouueed that it could not, ut.d would not, support wout was then dubbed the Riff-Rafi" ticket. Aud now the Citizens' party chose their candidates. It wa3 desired that the municipal canvass in Charleston should be a part of the great reform movement which, the whole country through, aims to unite goo 1 men of all classes for the 07??brow cl cheu'.s and tob bera. The, ticket was made up with care. No pronounced politician waa nominated. The candidates were; all o? them, tried citi? zens who thoroughly represented the brain and the muscle, the wealth and the public experience, of the community. There were on the Citizens' ticket both white men and colored men, merchants and mechanics, bankers and plain men of business. There were on that ticket men of all but the ex? treme shades of political opinioD. No one could say that it was madj, up in the inter? est of any class or party. The friends of economy and good gov? ernment went to work with a will, and the city was thoroughly canvassed. Just before the election, a mob of ruffians, who were marchiLg in procession in hoDor of j the renomination of "old man" Pillsbury, broke into the stores of several citi? zens, and strove to set fire to their dwel? lings. Daring the registration, gangs of? negro rowdies sought to drive the Conserva? tive voters from the polling places, but on the day of election squads of United States soldiers, stationed at the polls, protected all classes from both intimidation and actual violence. The honest colored people and the respectable Republicans worked and voled with the whito anti-Radicals. In the face of | a large registered majority of colored voters, the Citizens' candidates were.as before stated, elected by a rousing majority. No word was Baid against the election. Mayor Pillsbury for? mally proclaimed that the candidates were "elected to the said several offices." The Radical organs and Radical leaders in South Carolina treated lae election as one in every respect fair and honest. From all parts of | the United States, from Republicans and Democrats, came words of cheer and con? gratulation. The election of the Citizens' ca?didate3 in Charleston was regarded as a triumph of virtue and intelligence over ig? norance and crime. An air of cheerfulness pervaded the city. All wished that Novem? ber were come, and that General Wagener and his Aldermen were installed. The be? lief was universal that the condition of the city would rapidly improve, that the burnt district would be re-built, that the debt would be put in a manageable shape, that the city expenditures would be reduced, and the city receive the full value of every dollar which left the treasury. Patiently we have | waited, and now at the eleventh hour it is attempted to quash the election and rob the people of the fruits of their hard-won vic? tory. It is proper in this place to say that, so far as we know, not a respectable Republi? can in Charleston, of any prominence, is connected with the protest which it is de? manded that the City Council should con? sider. The fathers of the scheme are Mayor Pillsbury, Chicf-of-Police Hendricks and Al? derman Collins. These worthies have un? scrupulously used the whole power of the City Government to further their project Police officers whom the city pays have been detailed, for weeks at a time, to bunt up witnesses and buy affidavits. The officers of the municipal government and the mem? bers of the police force have been taxed to form a fund for paying counsel fees and other necessary expenses. Having matured their plans, the triumvirate now seek to foist upon Charleston, for two years more, a gov? ernment which, as a whole, would disgrace a vHlage in Ashantee. We cannot meet tfii'Ui rrltti their OTTO weapons. Trickery &sd brute force ure alike denied us. But of one thing the people may rest assured : The pro? test will be fought inch by inch and foot by foot, and every legal remedy shall be ex? hausted in defence of their rights. The fol lowiog distinguished gentlemen, who have watched the Pillsbury party from the begin? ning and have been cognizant of all their movements, have the matter in,charge: the Hon. Wm. D. Porter, the Hon. James Sim? ons, the Hon. A. G. Magrath, the Hon. J. D. Campbell, Colonel Thomas T. Simonsi the Hon. C. H. Simonton, and Alexander H. Brown, Esq.; also, A. T. Smythe, Esq., and Mojor G. Lamb Buist, on the part of | the Execative Committee. In their bands the interests of tb? people are safe. We have the moral support of all honest men whether Republicans or Democrats-ita the S?rth as wdl as in South Carolina. What is most needed i3 that the people be Arm, tranquil and full of confidence in the justice of their cause. The State Sarvlvor*' Association. The third annual meeting of the Slate Survivors' Association will be held in Co? lumbia on Thursday, the 9th November, when General Jubal A. Early will deliver an address before the association. We are glad to see thal the different coun? ties are completing their organizations, and we trust that every part of the State will send delegates to the annual gathering. There will certainly be no lack of attrac? tions at the capital in the second week of | November. Tho meeting of the Survivors' Association is both important and interest? ing, and it is hinted that General Early will lake the opportunity of revealing some of the unwritten history of the war. There will be the annual fair ef the State Agricul? tural and Mechanical Association, with its splendid display of implements, produce nod stock, and it3 crowds of joyous visitors. The South Carolina Club give their annual ball, which is always a r?cJierch? uffair, and there is talk, besides, or a tournament and a railroad convention. These should be enough, in all conscience, to attract to Co? lumbia, for a few days, every one who can And, in duty or in pleasure, an excuse for fleeing for a few days from the cankering cares of business life.
