Returning Good Sense.
One of the most liopeful signs for
the re-union of the people of the two
sections of the country, whioh have
been at political variance for many
years, is the invitation from leading
gentlemen of \>oth parties, in New
York city, to Alexander H. Stephens,
of Georgia, requesting him to ad?
dress the people on the social and
political condition of tho South. He
has accepted the invitation, and, as
the Baltimore Sun says, there is nb
man prominently connected with tho
?ate Confederate Government tor
whose political wisdom, sincerity and
moderation of character more respect
is entertained throughout tho coun?
try, than for him. It would, indoodj
probably have been impossible for
the gentlemen who invited him to
have found in ali the South one who
has a more accurate knowledge of its;
affairs and dispositions, or one who
can speak more intelligently and
dispassionately. It must be gratify?
ing to every lover of his country, that
the great commercial community of
the country has had the sagaoity to
extend this kind of an invitation to a
distinguished Southern leader.
"Wo regard thia movement as a for?
ward step towards real reconstruc?
tion. The business interests of the
country suffer more deeply than is
generally supposed by our disturbed
political relations. When the com
jimeccial and enterprising portion of
rthe community undertake to effect a
.genuine re-union of the people, poli?
tical tricksters must stand ont of the
way. Tte city of New York, iu the
lato ?lection, has proven her adhe?
sion to the true principle of govern?
ment by administering a terrible
rebuke to tho destructive politicians,
?who have recklessly administered the
affairs of Government since they
came into power; and now her com?
mercial and other leading men show
their sagacity and wisdom by their
expressed desire to hear from the lips
of one, wbose life aud character
mast give weight to what he says, tho
true condition of the Southern peo?
ple, their loyalty and fidelity to the
Constitution and to tho Federal
Union. We venture to predict that
the speech or address of Mr. Stevens
will contribute more to the re-union
of the American people than all the
tirades of politicians could effect in a
year.
Trade and commerce are great con?
servators and pacificators. Let us
hope, therefore, that other great com?
mercial centres in the North, East
and West, will take this matter of re?
construction out of the hands of
political demagogues, and devote their
means to its accomplishment. No
political party can withstand the
popular requisition for such a change
of policy as that now demamled by
every interest of the country; and if
the party in power hud any sense-if
it were not bent on the retention of
that power-they would see that an?
other straw would break the camel's
back and hurl them to destruction.
The people of every section aro groan?
ing under a burden of taxation which
no peoplo have so unnecessarily
borne, and the readers of the futuro
history of these States will be amazed
at their patience aud forbearance,
.under a system wearing the guise of
free institutions, while the whole bu?
siness energies aud enterprise of tho
country are not only crippled but
nearly ruined.

DiSTTjnuANCE ox WADMALAW ISLAND.
Yesterday morning, a detachment of
United States troops left this city for
Wadmalaw Island, to quell a disturb?
ance arising out of the recent elec?
tion. It is said that tho election
itself passed off quietly enough, but
that after it was over tho negroes
took it into their heads that one of
the managers, hythe namoof Cutter,
had persuaded them to vote tho
wrong ticket, and they ordered him
to leave, and thon took possession of
tho island, and established an armed
patrol. Informal ion having been
lodged at headquarters, the troops
were sent down as abovo stated.

Th? Charleston Courter, of Mon?
day, publishes the following:
Thia is the day fixed, by the consti?
tution of this State, for the Assembly
of its L?gislature.
It has, however, boen denied exist?
ence The civil government has
passed away in the presence of mili?
tary dominion. The old State of
Soutli Carolina,, with its post of
statesmanship, character and intelli?
gence, has been laid in tho dust Its
heretofore voters aro either disfran?
chised or voiceless, strangers in their
own land and powerless for thoir own
government.
In the presence of such a condi?
tion of things, tho constitution ?B
silent and the accustomed laws are
suspended. Under those, uo elec?
tions have been permitted, and to-dny
the capitol will, for the first time, bo
closed and deserted. It will bo but a
fair' typo of the desolation of the
commonwealth, denied representa?
tion according to her own laws, and
a quiet but eloquout protest against
that usurpation, which, for party
purposes, has overthrown self-govern?
ment in her midst.
A few weeks hence, and a body far
different will assemble. They will
meet neither by the sanction of the
American people at large, or of tho
constitutional voters of this State.
They will bo the representatives
purely of the black race, misguided
as to their own true welfare, and of
about two hundred of the white race,
few of whom owe any allegianco to
our soil or people, and by whom,
under party supervision at Washing?
ton, the late slaves li ave been swept
as a class away from tho white people
of the State.
This piebald Convention, so far ns
heard from, will consist of two-thirds
negroes and one-third white. The
white constituency is very much the
whire delegation. There are not
more than a dozen known to the
white people at all, or of whose ex?
istence they had any previous cou
sciousner
To cali this a Convention of the I
people of South Carolina is a farce j
that deceives no one. It might, with
as much propriety, bo called a Con?
vention of the people of Massachu-1
setts or Ohio. It is a Convention of
the negroes of South Carolina, and
of about 200 whites, mostly from
other States, who have affiliated and |
merged with tho blacks.
It is a Convention in which the
white race of the State have neither
participation or representation. It is
as foreigu to them ns it is to tho peo?
ple of New York. Even the North?
ern men resident hero, who have
selected this a? the home of their
adoption, and whom wo have wel?
comed to our soil, would not, oven by
their votes, give it cither sanction or I
countenance as in any measure tho
representative either of their race or
principles.
Such a Convention can neither |
stand the test of examination or of
the judgment. It can find no tar?
rant in the Constitution of thc coun?
try. It is in the direct teeth of jus?
tice, good government and right.
And yet it is the Convention, enacted |
by tho Republican party in Congress,
and which awaits its directions for |
its guidance.

woes bo said to bury his sorrows

Speech, or .Nwpolron to tb? Freweh .
Aste milly.
The French? Senate and Corps L??
gislatif assembled last Monday. A
long speech was made by the Empe?
ror, opeuing as follows:
The necessity of resuming the dis?
cussion of important laws has obliged
me to call you together earlier than
usual, and your assistance. Since you
separated, vague disquietudes have
arisen to affect the public mind of
Europe and restrict the movements
of industry and commercial transac?
tions in all quarters. Notwithstand?
ing the declarations of my Govern?
ment, which has never varied from a
pacido attitude, the belief has been
spread that a modification in thc in?
ternal system of Germauy must be?
come a means of conflict. This
_-' - t.. ?""l J_i. _.1.
Uu^lHIlUUt i.i.usii liUb UUUIUC IU UlTll
longer. It is necessary to accept
frankly the changes which have taken
pince on the other side of the Rhine,
and to proclaim that so long as our
interests and our dignity shnll not be
threatened, we will not interfere in
the transformation affected.
The disquiet that has boen dis?
played is difficult of explanation at a
period in which France has offered to
tho world tho most imposing specta?
cle of conciliation and peace. Tho
UuivcrsalExposition, where nearly all
tho sovereigns of Europe have at?
tended, and where thc representa?
tives of the laboring classes of all
countries have met, bas drawn closer
the ties of fraternity between nations.
It has disappeared, but its traces will
have a deep impression upon our
age; for, after having majestically
risen, the exhibition has not only
shone with a momentary brilliancy,
but it has destroyed a host of preju?
dices aud of errors-tho shackles of '
labor and intelligence, and tho bar?
riers between the difierent people, as ,
well as tho different classes of inter- ,
national hatreds-these aro what the
exhibition has cast behind it.
But these iucontestible pledges of
concord do not allow us to dispense 1
with improving tho military institu- 1
tions of France. It is the imperious
duty of every Government to follow
progress, independent of circnm- !
stances, in all the elements which
constitute tho strength of a country,
and it is for us a necessity to bring
to perfection the military organiza- j
tion.
Of the Roman complication, he
says: Revolutionary agitation, pre?
pared in broad day-light, threatened j
the Papal States. The convention of
Soptember not having been carried
out, I havo been compelled to send j
again our troops to Rome to protect (
the Holy Seo from Republican in- t
vadors. Our conduct could not par?
take of anything hostilo to the inde- j
pendence of Italy, and that nation, J
for a moment surprised, has not been !
long in understanding the dangers
these revolutionary manifestations
caused to monarchial principles and
European order. i
Calm is now almost entirely re-es?
tablished in the States of the Pope,
and we may calculate the proximate I
time when our troops will be recalled.
Fortis, the convention of September,
1865, exists so long as it is not re- ,
placed. The relations of Itnly to tho
Holy See interest tho whole of Eu?
rope. "We have proposed to the
powers to settle theso relations at a
conference and thus perfect now com- I
plication.
Tho speech concludes with the fol?
lowing emphatic declaration: For my
own part, you may rest assured I will
uphold firmly the power conferred
on me, for no obstacle nor unjust op?
position will shake either my courage
or my faith in thc future.

1 E INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION AND
GEN. PRESTON'S ADDKESS.-The In?
dustrial Association is a society
formed by benevolent ladies of this
city, for the purpose of aiding their
fti??er? who arc in want, by supplying
them with work and then compen?
sating thom for their labor. They
have furnished employment to many
who are in distress-to those never
possessed of wealth, and who aro
now in deeper poverty, and to others
who have lived in affluence and re?
finement, but are stripped of all
their support, and have only tho
labor of their own hands ou which to
depend. It is one of the least ob?
jectionable forms of aiding the dis?
tressed, a heavenly chanty, and yet
not a charity to the recipients, but
the just wages and recompense for
labors performed. This society has
furnished relief to main-, but is
greatly- stinted for want of resources.
Gen. Preston, in the kindness of his
heart, has consented to deliver a lec?
ture for their benefit, this eveuiug,
his subject being "The Women nf the
Confeihn-aci/-Their Work and Their
Retcard." Out of respect to this dis?
tinguished citizeu, as au encourage?
ment to them, and as n kindness to
those who are to be ultimately bene
fitted-the worthy and now suffering
daughters of Carolina-give them,
fellow-citizens, one and all, a full
house this evening, at Calisthenic,
Hall, over the store of the Messrs.
Gregg, on Main street. Tickets of

LECTURE BY PROV. JOHN LECONTE,
IN BALTIMORE.-Prof. John LeConte,
of the South Carolina University,
delivered tho first of a scries of four
lectures before tho Peabody Insti?
tute, of Baltimore, on Tuesday even?
ing last, on the 1 'Stellar Universe. "
Tho Sun, of that city, says:
"In this lecture^ he restricted hil
attention to an exposition of thc
methods of determining tho parallax
of tho fixed stars, and consequently
their distance from ns. He showed
that tho methods used for measuring
astronomical distances are not nb
strnse or mysterious; they aro ir
some applications absolutely the same
as the methods of ordinary land sur
veyiug, aud are in other application:
equivalent to thom. In applying,
these principles to tho detormiuatioi
of stellar distances, tho wholo difli
culty lies iu tho extremo minutenes:
of the angular quantities which ari
to be measured. It was shown that
by successive refinements of method
and instruments, astronomers, aftci
struggling with this problem for 301
years, ut last succeeded in pushinj
their triangulation across the 'grea
gulf which intervenes between on:
solar system and the nearest of th
fixed sturs. Various illustrations wor
introduced to convey to tho min?
como idea of tho vastuoss of the dis
tances which progress of science au<
art has thus enabled us to measure
It was stated that a cannon bnl
maintaining an unabated velocity o
1,760 foet per second, would requir
moro than 2,000,000 years to read
tho nearest of tho fixed stars! A lc
comotivu traveling incessantly nt th
rato of twenty miles per hour wonl<
require moro than 122,000,000 year
to accomplish tho same journey! 1
would require four times as long t
reach tho Dog Star! The followin
illustration was usod to give som
idea of these distances: If wo repri
sent tho distance of the sun from th
earth by ono foot, then tho distanc
from tho sun of Noptuno would b
30 feet; sun of a Centauri would b
4:2}.> miles; sun of 61 Cygni would b
10l}? miles; sun of a Lynn would b
149'.j miles; sun of Sirius would b
170 miles; sun of Capella would b
849 miles. The stellar distance
wore also illustrated by tho limo :
takes light to traverse tho interval
ing spaces."
