Fruits and Flower?-TUo Assemblages tn
Charleston.
We have given our readers an abstrnot
of the events of the past week in the city
of Charleston, bnt thia abstraot can give
no proper idea of their earnest, wholc
somo, interesting character.
The Floral Fair, gotten up under the
auspioes of "the. Charleston County
Agricultural and. Horticultural Society,"
was au atlraotive exhibition. Tho open?
ing address wnB delivered by Mr. W.
Gilmore Simms, and was most admirable
and appropriate. He elaborated thc
thought that "the senso of beauty is o
soul forever," and gave an address iu
keeping with the flowers around him,
and the philosophy that they suggested.
Tho Academy of Musi? was ono of thc
attractions of the week, and those visit?
ors fond of snob, amusements were grati
fled by the performances of the link?
ings' troupe in English operas.
Tho harbor excursion was a pleasant
feature.' Tji? delegates to tho conven
tionand other visitors were thus o nablet
to pass'in review the historic points ic
tho harbor cbnnooted with the late war.
The battered walls ?and tho speaking
rains of Sumter were there to remine
the spectator of the grandest defence
that history records.
The rooms of the Charleston Boan'
of Trade. No one who visits these roomi
eau fail to bo impressed with thoir ele
gant appearance and complete accompa
nimenta. Here the members of tin
Board of Trade, and of the club there
with connected, meet for business, o
reading, or conversation, or social enjoy
ment; and here the oonrtesies of the cit:
are kindly and freely tendered ti
strangers visiting the city on missions o
business or recreation. It is one of th os
institutions that reflect the tone, th
hospitality and the social spirit of th
citizens of Charleston. But the mai:
event of the week was the Agriculture
and Immigration Convention. Thi
convention brought together a larg
and earnest body of delegates, reprc
sonting Georgia and North Caroline
together with most of the Counties c
this State. The convention met in th
hall of tho Academy of Masio. Aftc
organization, it prooeeded to business
and the desire was unanimous to esche
mere speculations, and to secure pract
cal results. The subjects brought befoi
tho convention were IMMIGRATION, DIREC
TRADE, COTTON MANUFACTURE, AGRICULT1
RAIi EDUCATION, THE FLORA OF SoUT
CAROLINA, THE HYGIENE or SOUTH CAI?
LINA, THE CHINESE QUESTION AND TU
INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES OF THE STATI
Upon all these questions, full and wei
digested reports wero submitted, di
cussed sud adoptod. Matters of vit;
importance to the South wero freely di
cussed, and the poiut was made nu
accepted, that to develop tho recoure
of the South was tho great work of tl
day, and that this development was to 1
effected by immigration, direct trad
manufactures, and in general by t
active, enterprising and diversified i
dustry. To uso tho means we now pc
Bess, and to supplemeut these by nc
agencies; this was conceded to bo O'
true policy, the policy whereby o
prosperity wan to bo re-ostab?Bhed. Tl
practical measures proposed for imm
diate and specific action aro embodied
the propositions of tho Committees <
Immigration and Direct Trado. Here
FLAN is proposed. A convention ci
do no more than to givo the skeleton
action. It is for the people of tho Stn
to add tho flesh, the blood, the must
and sinews, and to breathe into tho li:
less body tho breath of lifo.
As to the rosults of the conventic
thoy cannot but bo advantageous in
moral as well as a practical aspect. Ci
dit is due to the President of tho Meei
nies' Institute, of Charleston, for t
success which has attended his desire
bring together suoh a body as tl
which recently assembled. It will
well for tho people of the Stato, and
the South, if they move out boldly :i
promptly on the lino of action suggest
by tho Agricultural und Immigr?t!
Convention of 1870.
When a young man goesnslruy, fr?en
gather around him in order to reste
him to tho path of virtue. Gentian
and kindness are lavished upon him
win him back to innocence and pea
No ono would ever suBpect that ho 1
Binnod. But whon a poor, confidi
girl is betrayed, sho receives tho br:i
of society, and is henceforth driven ir
tho ways of virtue. Tho betrayer
honored, respected and esteemed; 1
tho ruined, heart-brokon victim kuc
there is no ponce for her this side of
gravo. Society hus no helping baud
her-no smilo of comfort-no voico
forgiveness. Thoso aro earthly mor
ties unknown to Heaven. There ii
deep wrong in them and fearful are
consequences.
The reported conspiracies against the
life of Lom's Napoleon are. discovered at
suoli very opportune moments BH to nuke
them saspioions. Whenever there are
any serions signo of discontent manifest?
ing themselves, the Imperial polieo dis?
cover a plot to destroy thc Imperial life.
Tho horror of assassination and the
dread of a revolution, tho end of which
no man can foresee, brings hundreds of
thousands of liberty-loving Frenchmen
in temporary sympathy with tho usurper.
But those plots aro becoming monoto?
nous, nud to prevent this the accessories
nf tho last ono havo been arranged ou a
brobdignaginn style. For iustance,
twenty-two bombs had been delivered
from n foundry, but 400 had been
ordered, and would havo been furnished
but for the strike. 400 bombs to de?
stroy Napoleon tho Little! It is incredi?
ble; conspirators aro never so lavish of
their materials of destruction. But tho
Emperor is rccoiving numerous ad?
dresses congratulating him on his escape
from the bombs that were, and woronot,
cast; nnd the adulatory documenta is
what tho Emperor just now needs.
A foreign army of over 5,000 persons
landed in the city of New York on
Tuesday last, and at this moment ten
Bteamors are preparing to leave Liver?
pool with another nrmy of G.500 emi?
grants-all, or nearly all, hound for the
same sheltoringwharf of Castlo Garden,
and no doubt destined to be shortly re?
inforced by whatever vessels aro now at
sea on their way Westward. Tho ma?
jority of these, says tho New York
Titnes, aro probably from England and
Ireland, sinoe Germany has her own
lino of steamers. The Cork JSxatnitier
states that four steamships had just left
that harbor, in one week, with about n
thousand emigrants for America, and
laments that the Coercion act will only
have tho effect of increasing those de?
partures of the people. If "solitude*
may bo called "peace," as in tho timet
of Tacitus, Ireland will probably bi
quiet enough very shortly. Tho con
tinued emigration from that country,
after tho preceding exodus of millions
is nu extraordinary spectacle in the so
cinl history of the present age.
WHAT ARE "GOOD TIMES?"-The Nov
York Tribune very reasonably doubt:
whether tho revival of business in Wal
street, that is, Gold Boom and Steel
Exchange, is an acceptable sign o
"good times," in tho ordinary sense o
the term. Goood times, tho edito
seems to think, will never como unti
Congress passes some sort of a fundiui
bill. But it is not merely the passage o
tho funding bill that is wanted, but th
adoption of an opposito policy from tba
so strenuously adhered to by tho Tri
butte, of "protecting" a few individufi
interests so as to constitute them absorb
iug monopolies, maintained at tho es
pense of tho masses by the taxutio
which excludes all competition. Th
reduction of both tariff and intern;
taxation would do moro to put tho wheel
of substantial industry, production an
tariff in motion, than anything else
especially if a settled and less costl
fiuancial system ho at tho same tim
brought into uso.

DEATH UNDER SINGULAR CIRCO
STANCES.-Coroner Rollins wns yesterdu
called to tho Eighth precinct station
house, td investigateu somewhat singnln
case of death. Shortly after 1 o'cloc
yesterday morning, officer McKinley, c
tho Eighth precinct, in going his rounds
discovered two persons lying nt tho hoi
tom of a flight of steps of premises ll
Blcecker street. Au examination, whic
tho officer made at once, showed that
woman was lying across the body of
dead man, and that sho was fast asleep
With much difficulty, sho was arouse
and taken to tho Prince street polio
station, and there said her name wr
Mary Leo, of No. 171 Wooster stree
Tho body of the mun was curried to lb
station bouse, where it was subsequent!
identified ns that of Robert Gibbor
Phillips, an adopted son of Jona 1
Phillips, deceased, formerly Assistai
District Attorney under John McKeoi
Tho testimony showed that tho decease
bad been drinking to oxcess on Sunda;
and at 2 o'clock in tho morning, ho lo
205 Wooster street, telling a female eon
panion that ho should take a car an
ride up to Central Park. After lcavio
tho house, however, deceased met Mai
Lee in a porter house, i nd taking a drin
or two, they started off together. 1
staggering along Bleeckor street, th<
stepped into tho unprotected area au
fell to tho bottom of tho flight of stair
Phillips foiling with so much forco as 1
burst a paunel from the basement dot
with his bend. Doubtless, Ibo iojurii
reduced him to insensibility, from whk
ho did not recover. Tho woman fi
across bis body, and, being so deeply i:
toxicated, failed to comprehend what hf
happened and sank into a sound sle(
over tho corpso of her moro uufortuua
companion. Whon brought to a retdi
ing sense of her condition, by ollici
interference, Mary waa almost horre
stricken, promising to sign tho pledj
aud uo**or moro indulgo in the uso
stroug drink. Dr. John Beach examim
tho body of Mr. Phillips, and in his or
nion, death resulted from concussion
tho brain, caused by tho fall, and su<
was tho verdict.-Neio York\ Herald.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Maj 0,1870.
There .baa been a document drawn np;
by a Western Senator, setting forth the
future policy of the Republican party,
intended to be engrafted in the platform
of thnt party for tho coming fall oam
paign. Thia poper baa been signed by
every Republican in the Senate, and is
now being circulated among tho Repub?
licans in the House, in wbieb, as fur as it
has gone, receives thc entire sanction of
tho members. It seems passiug Bl runge
that thero should bo such unanimity in
auy set policy, when, at this very time,
such great questions ?us tho turill' bill,
Ula funding bill, the di Seront currency
bills, (Sra, aro causing disseusiou among
tho members from tho different sections
of tho country, irrespective of party.
Rather unexpectedly, a warm discus?
sion ensued in the House yesterday, on
tho duty on steel rails made by the pneu?
matic process. Tho cause of the inter?
est excited was quickly developed to be
millious of dol?ais, and that ofliceiB of
steel work companies were lobbying
among members ou the floor to obtain
the highest duty ou steel rails. Mr. Cox,
of Now York, mado a point of order that,
whereas, the Hon. Daniel J. Morrell, of
Pennsylvania, was pecuniarily interested
in the Freedom and Cambria I ron Works,
and that it was a rule of the House that
no member should voto ou a question in
which he is immediately interested, thal
he be prevonted from voting. Mr. Mor?
rell, however, took the responsibility
upon himself to vote, in the absence ol
proof that ho was au iutorested party ic
tho case. Tho duty fixed in tho bill wai
forty-four dollars, but au amendment
making it thirty-six instead, was adoptee
by 78 to G3.
Outside of the interest, or principal o
tho public debt, tho Government has
disbursed for the month of April uearl;
$13,000,000 among the different depart
monts, as follows: War Departmon
$5,500,000; the Navy and Interior Si,
000,000 each, and the civil list $4,750,
000. Although tho aggregate receipts o
Uncle Sam exceeds his expenditures b'
$12,000,000, it is hoped that he may b
able very soon to still considerably cur
tail bis expenses.
Wo are, at Inst, assured that on uex
Monday, the Chairman of the Ways uni
Means Committee will be ablo to repot
the funding bill, nud that the ameud
meuts to the bill will bo slight, lcavin
in, without further amendment, the 7t
section of the Senate, bill which iuteresl
bankers so much. Tho national bans
by its passage, will bo compelled toban
on a bond bearing ouly four and a ha
per ceut. interest.
Tho late Indian dissatisfaction,
seems is confined to the Sioux, thoug
tho War Secretary feels that there is itu
minent danger of this dissatisfaction e:
tending to othor tribes, and has ordere
all available military force to the pluiuB f<
the protection of tho Pacific Railroac
and tho Bettlers generally. Thero is
strong pressure brought to bear upc
the Secretary, to at once recommend tl
necessary legislating to carry out tl
treaty made with Sioux by Genera
Sherman, Torry and others, a long tin:
einen, which binds the Government I
placo them on reservations, and fee
them from the public crib two years,
is thought that such a movement on tl
part of tho Secretary would stay tl
threatening hostilities, und save tl
lives of thousauds of settlers.
The Board before whom Commodo
Upshur has been tried for conduct unb
coming a United {States officer, in heil
a party iu negotiating tho sale of eade
ships, has reported to the Secretary
the Navy. Tho public has not been mai
aware of the naturo of the report, tl
Secretary desiring somo days for a car
ful examination of tho caso befoie r
porting.

If there isn't much poetry, there is
truth, which is better, in the following
lines:
Ho who checks a child with terror,
Stops its play and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
Buta grievous moral wrong.
Givo it play and never fear it,
Active lifo is no defect;
Never, never break its spirit,
Curb it only to direct.
Would you stop tho flowing river,
Thinking it would ceaso to flow!
