Ii may be taken for granted that'.at
least the Intelligent l^ers .? the
radical party ?ave no faith in the
stories which, for purely partisan
puposas, ara promulgated by their
organs about tho perils to life and
limb of Union men and colored mea
froth the, so-called rebels of tho South.
Not a fewcrf ^
traveled through the South since the
war, some of them, whether design?
edly or not; stirring up evil passions
among tho freedmen towards their
former masters, and they know that*
even under'these aggravating circum?
stances, they were free not b?ly from
outrage, butnv^wn^'?' Jf it is re?
plied to this, that the rebels knew
better tkap to provo ko a collision
witii"men who bad tho power of tho
Government at th^joack; then they
alsbika^ b^erfiWh^y ffttok
rages against Unionists and colored
men, backed by tho military, to ?orno
in collision with the whole moral
and physical force of the country.
The Baltimore Sun declares that
there is not an intelligent man - in
either House of Congress, who is not
aware that, from the nature of things,
a people. .who are lying, with their
heads in v. lion's mouth, are hot like?
ly to makt. any very lively aggressive
demonstraron e. The truth is, that
the Southern people, instead of being
tho perpetrators, aro the victims of
continued crimes and outrages, not a
few of which they have' quietly sub?
mitted to, fearing that by demanding
justice, they would provoke addition?
al wrongs and vengeance. Since the
surrender of Lee's and Johnston's
armies, tho South has been lying like
an oyster on thc beach with both
shells torn off, and at the mercy of
all the birds and beasts of prey. It
has been incapable even of defence,
much less of aggression. S ach Re?
publican journals as the New .York
Timen have the grace to admit that
while tho slaying of a radical in the
South, no matter by whom com?
mitted, calls forth a violent howl
from the radical press and renewed
activity by tho military authorities,
little is said of the more frequent
murders of white men by s cm i -bar?
barous negroes ; and scarcely any no?
tice taken of them by the military
authorities. Thus no aensation is
caused by the murder of the one
armed ex-Confoderato .soldier lately
shot dead on his horse, near Selma,
Alabama; the killing, of four other
white men in the same locality; the
murders pf white men on the roads
leading to Richmond, Virginia, and
similar atrocities which have intro?
duced a reign of terror in many por?
tions of tho Southern States. Clearly
cognizant, as the radical leaders are,
of the real state of the case, the ef?
forts of their organs to represent the
Southern people always os the wrong?
doers, instead of the wronged, there?
by not only encouraging new acts of
crime, but making the foul slander a
pretext for subjecting the South to
additional oppressions and despotism,
have all tho criminality and wicked?
ness which attach to deliberate insti?
gation to murder, and on their skirts,
in the eyes of God and man, will
rest innocent blood, shed in the
South, quite as much as upon the
skirts of tho actual murderers.
Is there such a word as "impossi?
ble" in tho Yankee vocabulary? We
have our grave doubts. Who would
have thought of this idea? It is
proposed to establish, by means of
cannon and telegraphs, signals dur?
ing the harvest season to announoe
the approach of storms. These sig?
nals can be so arranged os to declare
the direction and character of the
coming storm, and to notify farmers
vAo are. cutting crops. It is estimat?
ed that rn or? th?? one fourth of tho
gruin and hay crops in this country
are annually injured by storms during
the harvest, and that the dauiugo to
the crops in Europe and America
during the last season, which might
have been saved at a small cost,
amounted to the enormous aggregate
of $500,000,000. The plan proposed
for the storm signals is as simple as it
is practicable, and can be made avail?
able along ibo coast for the benefit of
commerce by warning ships when to
eoek places of safety, and prepare for
coming storms.

TB?ABON 5? TBta O??TP.-The
Charleston correspondent of Forney's
Washington Chronicle is very unhap?
py about the ''disloyalty''prevalent
in Charleston, which he indignantly
tells us has oven contaminated the
army officers stationed ther?. He
says:
All are not loyal men that wear the
uniform of. American soldiers even.
Good, dinners, champagne suppers,
"mock-turtle soup," frequent whis?
key treats, are all that is necessary to
cover up the allegiance of shoulder
strapped pensioners of the republic.
Southern air, hospitality and women,
are too frequently disastrous to the
sentiments of devotion which the
liveried servants of the nation are
supposed to bear.
This is shocking; but still moro
horrible is the discovery which ho
narrates as follows:
The Ru Klux Risa have established
their ''dens," and are meeting on the
"895th" hour, to conjure up their
devilish work and issue forth their
cabalistic cards of blood. What they
cannot accomplish on tue field, in
the forum, by argument or sense,
they ' propose to achieve by dark
deeds of strategy, stealth' and asassi
natiou. Their midnight cabals doom
the man that dares defond his coun?
try. The Grand Tycoon summons1
the hellish horde to the knife, torch
and bludgeon, and death is the ver?
dict, of their "low-twelve" mutter?
ings._
The following despatch is explana?
tory of the one published yesterday:
LONDON, May 5.-The Ministry
have resigned. Disraeli proposed a
compromise until after the election
on the. Reform bills, but Lord Stan?
ley and the Earl of Malmesbury re?
fused to serve under Disraeli. The
Queen sent for Gladstone. Gladstone
said in the House that it was unpre?
cedented for a Ministry beaten by
seventy-five majority to think of dis?
solving Parliament The Premier's
course was unconstitutional, the
House was hostile to the Ministry,
and the duty of the Liberals was
clearly to follow up their resolves by
action; they must go on. [Cheers.]
They had no bargains to make. John
Bright said that Disraeli asked the
House to reverse tho constitutional
usage that ho might keep au office
got by acts not the most worthy. Dis ?
raeli asked why the House had not
passed a vote of waut of confidence.

AN AUSTRALIAN REVEL.-Tho mos
remarkable thing in the marine illa
ruinations, on the arrival of the Daki
of Edinburg in the harbor of Syd
ney, was a huge representation of i
fiery dragon. The Australian Steau
Navigation Company's steamer Yam
ba was enclosed on both Bides lr
transparencies, which formed a ver
striking and minutely accurate pic
ture of the popular notion of i
dragon-the eyes, scales, claws, teetl
and ears of the monster, nil bein;
well proportioned and clearly dis
cernible, even at a considerable dis
tunee. The length of the figure wa
102 feet, and the -height at the heat
(in the bows of the vessel) was tweu
ty-six feet. Tho jaws were abou
sixteen feet long, and they wer
distended ' so as to leave an apertnri
for the mouth of from six to sevei
feet. Tho eyes of tho monster wer
very admirably represented, the shad
ing of the colora-green, black e.u(
red-being exceedingly effective
Tho tail consisted of twenty-fivi
ships' boats, over each of which
from stem to stern, rows of lantern
were hung. A number of men iusid
the Yamba wore stationed at th
bows, and ns tht? monster ?1GT?<
[along, it was made to spit forth t
shower of rockets and other descrip
tions of fire-works, while the boat
astern made an immense display o
a similar oh rioter. The vessel wu
towed by the Atalanta, bat this wa

rs MEMORIAM:
Behind this stone is laid,
For a season,
Aldert Sidney Johnston,
A General in the army of the Confe?
derate States,
Who fell at ShBhh. TAnneetes,
On the 6th day of April, A. D.
Eighteen hundred and sixty-two:
A mau tried in many high offices
And critical enterprises,
And found faithful in all.
His life was one long sacrifice of
interest to conscience:
And even that'life,, on n woful Sab?
bath,
Did ?he yield as a holocaust to his
A country's need.
Not wholly understood was he while
he lived;
But in his death, his greatness stands
confessed,
In a people's tears.
Resolute, moderate, clear of euvy,
yet not wanting
In that finer omibition which makes
men great and pure.
In bis honor-impregnable;
In his simplicity sublime:
No country e'er had a truer son-no
cause a nobler champion;
No people a bolder defender-no
principle a purer victim
Than the dead soldier
Who sleeps here!
The cause for which ho perished is
lost
The people for which he fought are
crushed
The hopes iu which he trusted are
shattered
The flag he lov'd guides no more
the charging lines;
But his fame, consign'd to the keep?
ing of that time, which.
Happily, is not so much the tomb of
Virtue as its shrine,
Shall, in years to come, fire modest
worth to uobler ends
In honor, now, our great Captain
rests;
A bereaved people mourn him;
Three common wealths proudly claim;
And history shall cherish him
Among those choicer spirits, ..who,
holding their consciences uumix'd
with blame,
Have been, in all conjnnctures, true
to themselves, their country, and
their God.
DH. BRUNS' LECTURE-LIFE AND
GENIUS OF HENRY TIMROD.-A very
brilliant and select audience gathered
at the Lyceum Hall, last evening,
to listen to the lecture of Dr. J.
Dickson Brans, formerly of Charles?
ton S. C., but now of this city, on
the "Life and Genius of Henry
Timrod." To say that the assem?
blage was held spell-bound, bnt feebly
expresses the entrancing effect pro?
duced by the unequaled discourse of
the learned and eloquent gentleman.
For acute analysis, wonderfully deli?
cate and graphic imagery, originality
of thought, elegant diotion and poetic
fire, the lecture of Dr. Bruns remains
without a peer. A poet himself, Dr.
Bruns is eminently fitted for the task
of paying tribute to the memory and
genius of his friend, Henry Timrod.
The enthusiasm of friendship he
does not permit to cloud the judg?
ment of the critic. With judicial
impartiality he passes judgment upon
the mental powers of the deceased
poet, dissects with skillful hand
each peculiarity, and presents each
beauty of thought or figure fresh and
glowiug with poetic life. The lec?
ture was illustrated by choice quota?
tions from the writings of the dis?
tinguished poet, recited by the lec?
turer. Dr. Bruns, we should judge,
is a better speaker thnu reader, and
if he failed, at times, in elocution, the
accident may be attributed to the
accoustic defeots of tho hall. The
uuiversul desire of those who heard
the lecturer last night is, that the
lee: ure should be given to the public
iu print.-New Orleans Picayune.
Thurlow Weed acknowledges that
Republicanism is tottering. He says:
"Large cities, like Chicago, Philadel?
phia, Boston, Cincinnati, Sun Fran?
cisco and Rochester, have been wrest?
ed from our grasp. Nor is this all.
Entire States have faltered by tho
way, and withdrawn their support
frc_ thi' Republican party, wow
York, instead of being in thc "?\ .?pub?
lican column, writhes under the
incubus of a 50,000 Democratic ma?
jority. Pennsylvania, California,
Connecticut and New Jorsoy, so
lately plucked like a brand from the
bnrning, have likewise relapsed."
All this he chums to be the result of
bad management, and looks to Grant
as the Hercules that is to heave the
cart-wheel ont of the mud.
MASONIO BAMQUET.-The me-hors
of the Masonic Sup rome Council, of
the Thirty-third Degree, sat down
yesterday evening to a splendid en?
tertainment furbished by Maj. Hor
back, proprietor of the Charleston
Hotel.-Charleston News.
OPIUM EATING HERE.-Many of tba
back writ ora who get up the sensa?
tion stories for the cheap- newspaper
press, work up. to the necessary ex?
citement by eating opium, ana one'
of the , most facile writers for the
Ledger, is said to compose under its
inspiration. ? large number of, stu?
dents at our colleges are opium-eat?
ers. This follows, as a matter of
conree, the free use of tobacco. If
the excitement of tho latter be a de?
light, how much greater pleasure
must there be in the more subtle and
refined excitement of opium, and
hence there are many talented young
collegians who dream away their time
dud when they attend recitations,
(which is seldom,) make free use of
"opony." Large numbers of nerv?
ous ladies in high station use opium
to give new life to- their ?fTeta And
exhausted frames; perhaps the larg?
est proportionate consumption is
among this class. They prepare for
the enjoyment of a party or a ball by
the use of this stimulus, and when it
has brought the system to its acme,
they shine with unusual brilliancy.
The nse of stimulants as a prepara?
tion for social enjoyments is prodi?
gious, and a large party, perhaps one
half the guests, are keyed up by opi?
um cr bourbon to a proper state of
felicity. The reason why opiumis be?
coming more popular, is because its
devotee need not incur the opprobri?
um inseparable from the drunkard.
He need carry no bottle with him,
and his breath will not smell of li?
quor. His stock can be carried in
his vest pocket, and cnn be used im?
perceptibly to the world. Having
these advantages over the fire water,
we do not wonder nt the increase of
the former, and the only reason why
it does not become "universal os a
substitute for alcoholic drinks, is sim?
ply because they are social and opi?
um-eating is not. A group of young
men would not feel so mnch inclined
to eat opium together as they would
to enjoy a social glass. The result of
this general use of opium is now be?
ginning to show itself through the
country; the question now is, shall
the evil be arrested?

HANS PATRICK LE CONNOR THINKS
A MOMENT.-When a man is intro?
duced to you as a great genius, be?
fore you trust him for anything find
out who are his securities.
My experience in newspaper popu?
larity teaches me that, while one
line often kills a man, a hundred
lines will make him. Therefore,
when you advertise, advertise to make
or murder.
There are only three things in nature
truly beautiful-women, fiddles and
dogs. Give me a fair-skinned wo?
man, with black eyes and blue silk
dress, a yellow fiddle with u new
bridge, a spotted pup under a red
wagon, and I am happy.
My opinion of coll?ges hos depre?
dated lately. I met a Dutchman,
with hand-cuffs on, in charge of an
officer. I asked him whore he was
going, and he said he was going to
Yale.
If you are addicted to drink, pa?
tronize the meanest saloons you eau
find. If the liquor is bad, yon won't
have to go so often.
When you see a light-haired youth,
with a gold-headed cane, satin vest,
and heavy chain, and heavy shirt
front, lugging himself about the
streets, don't pity him. He will give
up his preseut situation as soon as
he can find ono by which lie eau
make euough to pay his board.
The man who stands aroand bar?
rooms and taverns, indulging in
long speeches against religious doc?
trines, and trying to persuade him?
self at the rato of a dollar an honr
that he is right, will never do the
cause of religion much harm.
The philosophy of life has puzzled
some heads of vast dimensions, but
it seems as simple to me as fresh peas
to a market man, or green worms to
a tobacco grower. You can't go
back and enn't stand still; third pro?
position will readily suggest itself.
The efforts of a witling to perpe
? trato a joke at the expense of a seri?
ous, sober-minded citizen, are always
suggestive of a snake trying to bite
somebody when it's all dead but it's
tail.
I Tho genuine secret of health and
prosperity: When 3'ou feel sleepy of
a morning, got up; when yon feel
wido awake at night, go to bod. The
first will preserve your credit in tho
community, and the latter will keep
you out of the bauds of tho police.
The Dayton (Ohio) Journal gives
an accouut of Mr. Enos Mote,, aged
twenty-nine, who, some years ago,
lost his false teeth during an epileptic
flt H* then began to icsl wmo
obstruction in tho left lung, and spit
blood. Some thought the false teeth
were the cause of his ailment, but
thc doctors said it was impossible
they could have passed through the
wind-pipe. In about a year, the
young man died and was buried-his
father refusing to allow the body to
be opened. On the old man's death,
recently, two brothers named Mote
exhumed it, and closely examining
the decayed mass, discovered the
gold plate and three teeth, all as
sound as ever. The case is well
authenticated, and isjcertoinly a very
extraordinary one.
