SIMMONS, Jr., ls the travelling agent for TUB NEWS, fer South Carolina. _ _ NEWS OF THE HAT. -Gold In New York closed at 13|.

Several Influ? ential journals strongly advocate the mea? sure. -Archbishop Manning, of London, has for? bidden the employment of female vocalists in Roman Catholic Churches under his jurisdic? tion after September next. -The students of the various German uni? versities are collecting funds for establishing a number of free scholarships at the new Uni? versity of Strasbourg. These scholarships will be called Bismarck scholarships. -Some of the Democratic members who at? tended the Rochester Convention have re? turned to Washington, and express the opin? ion that a majority ol the New York delega? tion to the Baltimore Convention will support Mr. Greeley. They represent Governor Hoff? man, who ls the chairman of the delegation, with being favorable to Mr. Greeley. -A hotel to cost$20,000,000 ls proposed lu Chicago. It will be constructed entirely of 11 iron, ten stories in height, and will cover lour entire blocks, with grand arches over tho Interveuiug streets.--Bazaar?ear? to- occu? py the first story, and elevators at every corner. It ls Intended that the rates will be from ten dollars to one dollar per diem, ac? cording to the story, so that people of limited means as v, ell aa those possessing wealth can ba accommodated in elegant style, -Mr. Greeley talked to the black people ol Poughkeepsie last Thursday night, anti later lo the evening was serenaded at his hotel. Afterwards, on being called out to make a speech, he said: uIt ls one ol the few privi? leges of one who stands lu my position that be is not allowed to make speeches, for lt Is teared by his friends that li he talks he might say something, which ls not, perhaps, an un? likely presumption.Mr. Greeley wears his muzzle bravely, at any rate. -It Is ^Unrated that there are 2000 building societies now In existence in England and Wales, the total number of members being 800,000, with a subscribed capital of over $45, 000,000, a loan and deposit capital of over $30, 000,000, total assets to the amount of $86,000, 000, mortgage advances over $80,000,000, and a yearly Income of more than $55,000,000. One society has nearly 17,000 members, and another 10,000. The income or a Bingle socie? ty is over $7,500,000. So great ls the confi? dence of the public In these enterprises that many o? them have reduced the rate of Inter Mt to four, and even three per cent., In order to check the influx of deposits which still come flowing In. In various districts the banka find lt difficult to compete with them. -Philadelphia bas one of tbe most valuable local societies of which we have any knowl? edge. It ls called the Fuel Savings Society, and its design is to encourage poor people to put by a portion of their earnings in tba mild weather for the purpose of buying coal for the winter. The society receives on deposit small sums of money from poor persons, the aggre? gate of which will secure fuel to more than its full value, coal and wood being procured for the depositors at about a dollar less per ton than tbe standard price. The principal object of the society is to encourage poor people to save their money and secure the means of cozvfort in winter, and the discount referred to is tbe Inducement to lay up their money. Over three thousand one hundred persons were depositors last year, a gain of seven hun? dred from the year before. -A Washington letter of Friday says: "Col? onel Forney arrived In Washington to-day. and bad a long Interview with the President on the political situation. He lonnd Grant dis? posed to look upon the nc,'libation of Greeley a? a joke, and found that he did not believe that il endorsed by the Baltimore Convention he would stand any chance of election. Grant's idea seemed to be that, In such an event, the Philadelphia nominee would get as many Democratic votes as Greeley would Re? publican votes. Colonel Forney replied that his Excellency was mistaken, and Insisted that if \J Greeley was nominated at Baltimore the entire Democratic party would support him, and the l-l contest be made a very close one. The Presl-11 dent said bis Information was quite the re? verse. Colonel Forney begged him not to al? low himself to be so deceived." -The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger writes: "There ls a strong pres? sure on Mr. Greeley to write a letter defining bis views as a Presidential candidate with reference to the tariff and some other ques? tions In which he is not In full accord with the I < Democracy. It ls probable he will j ?ela after 11 a wolle to the advice of his friends, and that the letter will be written expressly with an eye to tbe Baltimore nomination. Its real purpose ls to satisfy the Western men that the Cincinnati nominee will not stand In the way of free trade If elected. The Cincinnati platform contained a pledge of that kind, but the West? ern men say paper platforms mean nothing, and that therefore it ls indispensable to bave a pledge against Mr. Greeley's high tariff no-11 tiona, over his own signature In black and white, as a condition precedent to considering him as before the convention at all. It will doubtless cost Mr. Greeley many a qualm to surrender an idea to which he has persistent? ly clung all his political lifetime; but lt also teach him that posts of honor have theil sacrifices as well as their gains." -In his lecture to the colored people Poughkeepsie, N. Y., last week, Mr. Greeley gave his audience a sensible talk upon theil new duties, and after Bumming up Hie tluences that had led to their degradation and enthralment, pointed ont Hie way as he saw it lo the higher duties of citizenship, counselled (beni among the first things they did to learn the lesson of self-trust and depend upon themselves, not waiting for the fulfil ment of that Impossible story about forty acres of land and a mule which were to presented to them. He implored them avoid a spirit of beggary, even in matters education; lt was belter to rough lt, as he had learned by experience. Next to the lesson self-trust he urged thrift; he would have them honor lt In their kinsmen and pursue lt for themselves, and though he did not tell them togo to the ant, he did advise a careful study Jewish history and an adoption of the ele menta of Birengtb therein presented. While the colored race continued poor or having in dlvidually small means to contribute, be was In lavor of co-operation as the most effective way of increasing capital. Sense vs. Sentiment. The surprise excited by the nominations at Cincinnati has, to a gi-eat extent, Bub sided. The Executive Committee of the Democratic party have published their call for the National Convention, and the Demo eratic papers, as at the Nation ? Observa tory, are intensely studying the la' .ludo an longitude of the new departure, hi order to determine, not so much whence it came, as whither it is going. Bat while tbe Democracy of tbe North and Northwest are beset with anxiety and tortured by doubts as to the policy to be pursued, it is curions to note the rapidity and unanimity with which the South reached its conclusions. It waited neither for con venttons to enlighten, nor leaders to ad vise. The masses realized, ns if by instinct, that at last the avenue of escape was opened from evils which, for four years, had chilled all efforts and paralyzed all prosperity. Just in this fact lies the difference which divides the Democracy of tho North from that of the South. We fear that it is neither correctly understood nor justly appreciated; and it is due to ourselves and to our ancient allies in eo?many hard contests tbat the motives and reasons which influence us should be fully known. \ Tbe same political divisions and p-rty straggles exist with them as with us ; but the effects and consequences are far di Ser? ont. Tbey live under governments and laws which, If not framed and administered by themselves, are still framed and adminis? tered by those equally interested with them In the preservation of personal liberty, the protection of private property, the honest and economical expendituro of the public money, in the suppression of crime, und in tbe faithful administration of justice. With them the desire for change is the indulgence of a political sentiment, and success the tri um pu of a political idea. With us those ; who make the laws are not amenable to I them. Exorbitant taxes are imposed by j legislators without property, and the pro-1 seeds are lavished in jobs and bribes, or I coldly appropriated by those who made the aw which imposed tbe tax. The public credi x>- is defrauded of his interest; the honest I servitor of tbe State is unpaid; tbe educa .ional fand is wasted or misappropriated ; tbe I ?chool? are suspended ; the Lunatic Asylum, I ;he special care of the State, is sustained by -) ri vate charity; and the superintendent of ;he Penitentiary, destitute of funds, has to J lecide whether be will starve the convicta or et them loose on the community. If a sherill I s convicted by the United States Court of rroBS fraud at an election, the President of I he United States pardons, and the Gover-1 lor of the State replaces him in office, with I ipecial compliments to bis ability and char icter. If a trial justice draws his six ihooter, and makes a target of a reporter in I -he very shadow of the Courthouse, a Badi- I ?al Legislature applauds bis zeal by promot-1 ng him to the Judiciary. If a member o' I Congress is expelled as too vile for that body, I in admiring constituency send bim to the I State Senate, and he becomes the chairman I >f an investigating committee to expose the I ,'rauds practiced on the State. But we need not accumulate tbe illustrations. Tbe in- I diligence of tbe State is proscribed, and the p roper ty of tbe State is taxed beyond prece-1 dent or endurance; yet the treasury ls empty, the credit of the State is mined, and the people are destitute well-nigh even of hope. Continuance of Radical rale is death. I fn change is tbe only hope of resurrection. These things must be felt as we feel them I n order that our position and coarse should I ie appreciated. Politics are no longer with I is what they are to the rest of tbe coantry. I ,Ve have passed far beyond the point where I nen diner on shadowy lines of party policy. Chere never was at any period any portion j if this coantry occupying the position we lo. Federal politics and all the great qoes-1 j ions of National policy are as foreign to ns I ts are the struggles between the Bonapar isis and Legitimists. Our issues may seem j mall to others ; but tbey vitally concern oar elves, and on them we are terribly in earn- J et. The struggle is for existence as a I >eople, honor and credit as a State. The j larties are arrayed; the line which divides hem is that which separates the plunderers I rom the plundered, the honest from the cor-1' upL We fight to win, and tee intend to j liny away no cliance of success, ! Skilful combination or happy accident! las placed in nomination one upon whom he honest of all parties can unite. We I lave aa little sympathy with Mr. . Greeley's ' tolitical crotchets now as we ever bad. We 11 liner from bim on nearly all bis pet ideas of 11 lational policy and constitutional construe ion ; but we believe bim to be honest, true I ' ind just, and we are seeking to save our-1 1 elves, not the natiou. For the Baltimore I ' Convention to make a Democratic nomina-1 ion at this juncture is to insure defeat and I ' land over these Southern States to Radical j1 nisruie for long years to come. Faithfully I ?a the South has adhered to the fortunes j 1 and followed the banner ol the party, in I < times past, it will not now put on its armor for that conflict. Victory is essential, and can only be won by a union of the honest of ill creeds. This is not the mere opinion of ihe South reasoned out on logical deduction. I It i8 a conviction born of long suffering, and our friends at the North will be wise if they heed the lesson which it teaches. Since i860 the South has Bitently and implicily fol? lowed their lead. We utter no complaint. We breathe no reproach. We give full credit for good intentions and honorable motives, but the result has been ruin. The South proposes now to work out its own salvation. All tbat it asks is to be allowed to do so in its own way. If it succeeds there will be ac? cumulated strength for future conflicts. As the progressive steps of civilization ore tbe individual, the family, the State, so we may ultimately come to the redemption of the nation, but the earlier steps must be first taken. Ourselves, our families, our States must be first saved. The fate of the Democratic party is in the keeping of the Democrats of the North. If they are wise enough and large enough to comprehend the duties and obligations or the hour, and to trust, with the calmness of assured strength, to time for the vindication of their principles, they caa preserve the ptrty and lead it to future triumphs; but if they force the issue now and press the party to a nomination, they will bury it for all ?meto come. No "Resurgam" need be written on that tomb. TUB National Democratic committee having called a Convention to meet in Ballimore ou the 9th of July, we think it advisable that our State should take some action in regard to this matter. We therefore respectfully recommend that a Convention of lhe Democratic party be held in Columbia on Tuesday, Ute 11th June next. WADE HAMPTON, Chairman. W. B. STANLEY, J. D. POPE, P. W. MCMASTER, T. G. BARKER, JOHN E. CAREW, J. P. THOMAS, Central Executive Committee. THE New York Tribune vigorously con? demns the conduct of General Butler in at? tempting to effect the extension of the Ku Klux law over the time of the Presidential election, and expresses thc hope that the Sen? ate ?'will do nothing so discreditable as to "inti?ct upon the now quiet South the unpro? voked Insult and injury of a continued mili-1 "tary rule." The Tribune looks upon the failure of the scheme In the House as an en? couraging sign, and kindly suggests that a few more experiences like those of the other day would go far uto prove, even to Mr. But? ler, that a penny worth of conscience would "be as valuable to him as a great deal of hiB ''incontestable shiftiness."
