- Foreign Rewa? MADRID, June 7.-The Constitution waa promulgated on Saturday with great pomp. The Executive Council and Cortes appeared on the platform, where the 3eeretary of the Cortes read the Constitution. Thore was an immense concourse, which applauded loudly. Re? turning to the Chamber, each member of the Corten was sworn to protect and sup Eort the Constitution. Some hisses were card. After tho promulgation of tho Constitution, a tumult ensued, which only subsided when tho military np 5eared. The Governor of tho city of lad rid rushed among tho foremost of the rioters, shouting "Viva Sovcrariia Nacional." This changed tho feeling of the fluctuating mob, which joined in cheering the Governor, and the tumult subsided. Only two were killed and several wounded. Subsequently tho de? puties returned to the platform and re? viewed 30,000 troops. The enthusiasm on all sides was very great. It was no? ticed, however, that none of the Repub? lican deputies participated in tho pro? ceedings. The oivio procession was fol? lowed by a grand banquet and fire-works. Over .100,000 persons from tho country visited Madrid during the dny. A bill will be introduced in the Cortes to-mor? row, creating Seriano Regent of Spain, but without the power or sanction of the laws, or to dissolve the Chamber. Di? rect taxes in tho Spanish colonies are reduced one-half, and a small export duty on sugar, rum and tobacco has been im? posed. Much anxiety ?B felt about Cuba. The Government is unwilling to publish telegrams from Cuba, whicu croates much uneasiness. LONDON, Juno 7.-The Conservativo | Peers agreed to oppose tho second read? ing of tho dis-establishment, instead of rejecting tho bill, thereby gaining time and avoiding excitement. Tho majority in the Lords agaiust tho bill is eighty. - Washington Nevr?. WASHINGTON, June7.-Treasurer Spin- j ncr has a despatch announcing the plun? dering of tho United States deposilory at Sante Fe. L. J. Collins, tho deposit? or, was found shot through tho heart. The last statement from the depository showed nearly half a million to tho Go vcrntneut's credit. Depositor Collins hnd been removed, and his successor, who had just arrived, telegraphs the tra? gedy. The radicals carried the election. The opponents made littlo contest, and the polls were abandoned to the negroes. A riot occurred i ti tho Second Ward to-day. j The negroes chased a conservative black I man to his house and assailed tho house, j The inmates escaped to tho rear. The conservative found refuge in tho upper | storN.when tho police surrounded the house and brought tho conservative down, enclosed him in a hollow square, and took him to tho polls, when he voted. Tho negroes now being furious, threw a volley of stones, and fired pistols occasionally. Tho chief of police was hurt in tlic nrm. Tre nnlereijjjis force to fire over thc mob. This increased the mob's violence, when the polico were compelled to fire I. volley directly into them, killing ono and wounding three, when tho mob fled. Earlier in tho dny a policeman Avas cut with a razor and se? riously beaton, in tho Sixth Ward. Tho rioting has been confined entirely to ne? groes. Tho negroes show no disposition to molest the whites so fur, but they are drinking freely, which causes much ap? prehension for safety during tho night. The marines have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness, to quiet tho fears of tho people. It is just to say that no respectable colored citizens of Wash? ington participated in or encouraged the riots to-day. Delano -decides that tho States have no right to throw convict produced articles on the market until tho Federal tax has been paid.

TU* StA te Conitnbnlary and the PkUlIc Weal. \ Among all the costly contrivance); de? signed by the Solona in Columbia tojbro mote the interest of tho few at Ifta ex? pense of tho mnny-few combine il so eminent a degree the elements of mst, uselessness and inefficiency-tho larjeat expenditure of means, and the sui ulest economy of results-tho greatest ineffi? ciency for good, and the hugest potelcy for evil-us that model bureau, the Sate constabulary, with its headquarters, at the capital. 1st. Consider for n moment the Ulm of cost. We have a chief constable, wah a salary of ?1,500 a year, and deputy constables iu every County, drawing three dollars for every day of nctunl no? vice. And that these tours of pretenda duty will be protracted beyond tho exi? gencies of the occasion, and that llb constables will make the degreo of thc t "impecuuiosity," and not tho demain* of tho public service, tho mensuro cf their labors, it requires neither tho pri* science of tho seer or the experienco ot tho sago to determino. Wo have a prac tical illustration of this in the experience of our District, for the past two weeks, with a portion of this same State consta? bulary. For that period some half-dozen of them have beeu harrnssing whites and tantalizing blacks - "vexing the drowsy car of ,night" with tho sound of patter? ing hoofs, nnd flaunting their baud-cuffs and other insignia in "the garish light of day"-arresting this man nnd letting that mun escapo-and at last accomplish? ing a two weeks' work of "sowing the wind and reaping"-a rich harvest of fees. $1,500 per annum-three dollars per day! with the incidentals! Truly we pay dearly for t'-e expensive luxury of being oppressed. 2d. But how useless the whole ma? chinery! Dow entirely uncalled for by tho exigencies of the public service! Tbero was nothing in the condition of the country to demand its establishment, and them has been no occasion for its I exercise since. When has there been, or where has there been any armed re-1 sistanco of authority-any violation of law which the ordinary ministers of jus? tice were not fully competent to repress? ? The proof of this is seen in the history of our own District for tho past six months. Not a homicide-scarcely n breach of tho pence to disturb thu even ? current of our law-respecting obedience j - until tho advent of this troop of legal ?zed incendiaries, who toss hither and thither fire brands of discord, and seek ? to irritate old wounds and intensify old j grudges. 3d. How iueflicieut for good, how po- , , tent for evil, is this model State police! ' To bo efficient they should be "vigilant, active and brave." But does the State police possess a siuglo one of these re piisites? If Sii, let their past deeds ?peak "trnmpet-tougned." Wliat- re ilotlbted outlaw or convicted felon have they arrested? Was Tolbert "treed in a iwamp?" They will scarcely have the j | hardihood now lo revamp that old story. Does bravery consist in shooting around die houses of lone widows? does activity in tho performances of duty comport with the arrest of beardless boys, who ire innocent of crime? does legal vigi ance lind exercise in hand-cul?ing a iiirmless, inoffensive old mun, and drag? ging him at tho rope's end, under a na? rro escort, to the county seat, miles iway from homo? If so, then tho State constabulary are "vigilant, activo und nave"-tho pillars of tho State-as \rgns, with bis hundred eyes, and Uriureus, with his hundred bauds. Inefficient for good, but potent for ?vii-such is tho State constabulary md such do their acts prove them to bo. They ure the mero tools of a party, locking neither the geuoral weal nor lubscving tho ends of public justice, mt sacrificing all to tho advancement if narrow partisan purposes. For these im poses tliey have been sent among us now, ou the heels of the coming election. Committees in Columbia pull tho wires and move the puppets. Tho recent ar? r?ts have all a p ditical 'significance they are intended for political capital cou'.rolling tho impressionable, reviving the despondent, strengthening the timid. Fit tools of such a party-is tho State consUbulatory-"Willing to wound, but yet afluid to strike."-Abbeville Press. At a recent Sabbath School concert, iu a submban church, the orditmnco of baptism was administered. The clergy? man in nhargo expressed gratification that lhe>cca8?on offered him so good an opportnn'ty to explain to the children tho naturi of tho service. By way of illustration he said: "In Old Testament times, bloc] was offered as an atoning sacrifice, hmce it was spoken of as a purifier; bu what is used as an emblem of purity nov-a-duys-what element con? veys tho ide: of perfect cleanliness?" A moment's sihnoe, and then a dozen little voices squeaked ont-"Soap!" Tho recent aassacro by the Indians in Kansas was a horrible affair.

Every possible in? fluence bas been brought to bear npon Mr. Pillsbury; the League has been called into requisition, that powerful eu? gine that seldom fails in accomplishing the ends of the skillful politicians who wield it, and the Governor hirseelf, after thrco days fruitless effort, has been forced to give up the trial to make peuce. Mr. Pillsbury and his supporters refuso to recede'au inch from their position, and Democrats, good, sound, reponeible men still continue to hold the city offices. This state of things ia of course extreme? ly distasteful to the extremists, and ac? cordingly, not being able to fiud any other way ont of their perplexing posi? tion, they offered a proposition to com? promise by resigning, and ordering an? other election. Even this failed to effect tho object for which it was intend? ed, and one would suppoao that tho fc" - rious eight would surrender. Not so, however; these Republicans have a win? ning way of doing business, and on Saturday a now dodge ivudo its appear? ance, in tho shape of a petition to the Legislature for an extra session, for the purpose of repealing tho validating Act ind authorizing a new election. Of courso, it is just as competent for flio Legislature to repeal one of its own .Vets, ns it is for it to deolare an illegal ilectiou valid; and it is one of the least lowers that tho reconstructed Legisla? ture of South Carolina possesses. Bat we do not believe, with all tho boldness of successful politicians, that a represen t uti ve body pretending to work for the common good, will involve tho State iu an extra expense of fifty or a hundred thousand dollars, in order to legislate eight disappointed Aldermen into power, in tho City Council of Charleston, lt will not bo done. The scheme, a very I bold one, will fall to the ground, and its] primo movers will have to devise some i other means for effecting thc avowed ob-1 ject-"to got rid of these d-d Yankee carpet baggers." Wo await further de? velopments, and in the meanwhile coun? sel "peace."-Charleston Courier. WOMEN VOTERS!-One day last week, in New York city, an election was held an ung the Methodists for live trustees, to take charge of the usual great cam]) ! moiling, tt> be held at Sing Sing, in Au- | giut. The female members were enti? tled to vote, and as great complaints weie made last year by this portion of the church in regard to the unfair andi injudicious allotment of the tent?, great excitement prevailed. Five priuted tick ids, containing the names of the candi bites, differently combined, were distri? buted by canvassers stationed near the ?lolls, but "scratching" also prevailed to ?une extent. By 0 o'clock, only thirty live female votes had been cast, but, ac? cording to tho tactics of an ordinary po iticul election, tho women reserved their strength till the last moment, and at 8 /clock, thc time of closing the polls, mme up in a largo body, of near a hun Ired, to decide tho contest, In addi? tion, the married women exercised a su? pervision over their husbands' votes, ex imining the ticket and depositing it iu ,be box, with the remark, in some cases,. "You may vote that, dear; that's all right." This incident caused the gene? ral observation "That's what wo'ro com? ing to." A grand-son of the Governor of Vir? ginia, a child of some four or five sum? ners, was on a visit to his maternal grand-father, who is a wealthy land udder iu Ohio. Ono day, after making lis first visit to Sunday school, with the eligious instruction of which lie seemed Inly impressed, he accompanied his grand-father to gather the fruit of a arge walnut tree. On the way, the lit? io fellov said: "Grand-pa, who do all beso W)od8 und fields belong to?" 'Why."ksuid tho matter-of-fact geutle nuu, "te" me." "No, sir," emphatically espond?d tho child; "they belong to lod." TJO grand-father said nothing till hey roached the richly laden tree, when ie asked, "Well, my boy, whom does his treo belong to?

Pheonix, who was an ex? cellent draftsman, set to work and pro? duced a design. Ho tundo no great chango in the uniform, but he proposed revolutionizing tho entire system of mo? dern tactics by an iron hook. This hook was to be attached to tho seat of every soldier's pants. It applied to overy arm of tho service, cavalry, infantry and ar? tillery. Ho illustrated its uso by a series of weii-execntcd designs. Ho quoted high medical authority, proving its ad? vantages in a sunitury point of view. Tho heavy kunpsack, Le argued, induced a stooping position and a very great con traction of tho chest. But hung on a hook by a strap connecting with the shoulder, it would brace the body back aud expand the chest. The cavalry thus were to bo reudored more secure iu their seats, hooked to a ring in tho saddle. All the commissioned officers were to carry a light twenty foot pole, with a ring at- j tached to the end. This was to bo used during an engagement in drawing tho stragglers back iuto tho ranks. He il? lustrated a terrifio battle, the generals and colonels being thus occupied, run? ning about hauling stragglers back to tho ranks. lu many other unheard of ways did he expatiate on the value of his hook. Mr. Davis was enraged. His dignity wat> wounded and the service in? sulted. Ho instantly made ont an order directing Pheonix to be court martialcd for contempt. Marcy was made aware of Phoenix's transaction, as well os the cloud hanging over him. He looked over tho plates. He saw a regiment, their backs toward him, drawn up in liue, knapsacks, blankets, hams and all manner of camp equipage, pend? ing from each soldier. Marcy broke down. Said bo to Davis: "It's no uso to court martial this mau. Tho matter will bo made public; the laugh will settle entirely on UH, and besides, a man who bas the inventive ingenuity hero dis p'ayod, as well as this faculty of design, illy-directed though it be, is too valuable to the service to bo trifled with." John Phoenix was not brought to grief, and Davis' anger was at length sufficiently mollified for him to enjoy tho joko. It does not appear, however, that they ! adopted Phoenix's pian. j Urlcf IllogrupliU-nl Sketches. Julius Caesar-Son of old man C oj sar.
