Chronicle and Sentinel says: "Oar Carolina, friends, seem earnestly endeavoring to induce immigration, ana are Gotting about tho work in a practical manner. They are forming land compa? nies, nod steamship companion ara pre? paring to offer substantial inducements to actual bona fide settlers. Now, all this is very well, and no doubt the steps taken are necessary and in the right direction. But it occurs tp.us that they aro overlooking the first essential .step towards success, {iud that is, the estab? lishment of a good"'State Government." And adds: J - ..Clearly, our Carolina friends must first establish a sound and honest ge? kommen t, and mako stable their own population*'before they can invite, suc? cessfully, immigration. Let them clear .away radical misrulo." This is sound doctrine, and this is the doctrino wo preach. ' Our people must ?work with both, honda.

The Courier, referring to the meeting, says:i: v In aooordauco with tho call which ap? peared in the daily papers of the oity, ?J mass meeting of the people of Charles 'ton, ia the interest of reform and good government,-was held at Hibernian Hull last night. The hall, long before tht hour of meeting, was densely pucked with all classes of .citizens, ' white and -colored, and the enthusiasm manifested throughout tho proceedings was indi .cativei of the.rousing of the people. Il is a harbinger of Letter days io store foi us-an earnest of the awakening of thc people from lethargic sleep whioh ha: .enwrapped them the past five years. Tin only event that at all interfered with tin perfeot harmony of the meeting was, o course, attributable to those insatiate of? fice-holders and immaculate patriots the Mackeys. These partisans, to th? number of about seventy-five or on? hundred,, were packed iu the hall, witl the palpable design of interfering will and breaking up the meeting. It i; gratifying to state that they were com pletely silenced by the prompt action o the chairman of the meeting and tin strong evidences of disapprobation whicl emanated from the respectable portiot of the audience lu every respect, then the meeting was a suacess. In the nura bers, intelligence and variety of interest represented by the assembled multitud* -in the action and rn the sentiment which were uttered, both by the whit< and colored speakers, the result is i matter of congratulation. It is the firs gun of a campaign in which tho whol people of the State of all classes wil unite hand in hand. It is the fore-run ner, we trust, of a viotory at the bullet box next fall, which will rese?e the gu vernment of the State from the prodi gate hands of outside intruders, am place it in the bauds of good and ti n ropreBeutativcB of the people. It means we trust, lighter taxation, eurly reform and better days in the futuro for botl white and black men. The air is full of strife and hatti whichever way wo turn. lu Mexico South America and tho West India Islands, insurrection is flourishing .wit! unprecedented vigor. Spain and Franc aro both in the throes of anbther r?volu tion. A war cloud is looming over ar oient Egypt. And from everywhero i Europe comes the cry of striking worl men'driven to desperation by starvatio rates of wages. All this heralds the a\ proaoh of a war-like age, which generali alternates every half century, with th piping times of peace. Man's nature possessed of an inmate w?rV-like trai which seemingly must bo gratified oca sionally, at whatever cost. <??-? Two suicides a day in the lake is Ch cago's allowance. is gr?tind?or no little astonishment to aeeituscdto revive. fae resentments left by tho ?ate civil war, in cortaiu political sections. The fear seems to be that troo resent? ments and passions are weakening. Five Sears bave passed since the South bas een subjugated, and not only is it as yet treated as vanquished, but we see that the radicals in Congress attempt to organize in perpetuity an official cere? mony to remind it of its humiliation. Il is not charitable, and it is not politic. Let each one, North and South, weep their dead fallen in the struggle, honor their memory, and 'render homage to their graves, nothing better; but such proceedings should be regarded as pri? vate, not public acts. At the sequel of a civil war the nation has but to bemoan its lost blood; victors and vanquished were equally ber children, and, the fratricidal struggle exhausted, nothing remuins but to poor upou the wounds of each the balm of forgetfulness. Why, then, eternize the remembrance, as though wo were to gloiify a victory against an invasion, and to always keep awake, by a cruel persecution, the sacred fire of patriotism? Is ii then true thal the reconciliation is iitipossible, and that the two sections of the country are con? demned lo trent cadi other ? eternally as enemies?-Courrier des Etats Unis. GETTING RID OF AN UNDE8JLBA__E TEN? ANT.-A.man ia Montana, a short timo ago, squatted ou another person's land and built a small frame shanty. When requested to rerqove, he positively re? fused to do so; so one night a squad of men came round, after the squatter and bis wife wera asleep, nhd, lifting the whole concern, shun ty and till, with, de? liberate caro carried it to tho river and set it on a small raft. Then they pushed the rnft out into the stream, and. let her gp. When the squatter, got, up in the morning,to go out, he: was. surprised to (ind himself about sixty miles down the stream, and making good time in a nine knot current. The squatter observed to his wife that if ho ever got back to his old home war would probably be organ? ized on a most formidable scale. CORONER'S INQUEST.-Coroner Whiting yesterday beld an inquest on the body of Jus. Glover, a colored mau, who died at his residence, in Church street, of consumption. The deceased had been attended in his last illness by a vagabond negro named Hamilton, well known in the police courts, aud who pretends to be a doctor. The following is the ver? dict of the coroner's jury in the case: "That tho deceased carno to his death from tuberculous consumption, and i in? competency of one Alexander Hamilton, representing himself asa physician. The said jurors recommend that tho matter be referred to the Attorney-General for prosecution."-Charleston Courier. The latest advices from St. Louis fix tho number of killed by tho recent dis? aster on the Missouri Pacific Railroad at nineteen, and the wounded nt thirty. The blame of the collision seems now to attach to William Ador, tho conductor of the freight train, wbo should have waited at a gravel-switch until the ex? press traiu passed, but who either mis? understood his' orders, or thought he could roach [Eureka before the express train. Drinkists, go to Pollock's. The Kauuks, barbarians that they are, deprive women of the rights that the men enjoy. The men aro cannibals.

Tho Pulaski House, in Savannah, Ga., is to bo rebuilt in magnificent style, at a cost of 0310,000. . .. tm p lectures Professor Sillinian, tba youDgor, alluded to tho discovery of tho skeleton of an enormpua lizard of eighty feot. From thia tho Professor inferred, as no Jiving Recamen of eachmagnitude has beor) found, ?that tho ape?les which it represents [fas become degenerated. The verity pf hie position: he endeavored to oDforcerby nllueion to the well-known existence of giants in olden times. The following is the list upon which this singular hypothesis is based: The giant exhibited at Rouen, in 1830, the Professor Bays, measured nearly eighteen feet. Gorapius saw a girl that was teu leet high. Tho giant Calabra, brought from Arabia to Rome, under Claudius Cm.-sar, was ten feet high. The giaut Ferregnss, shiin by Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne, was twenty eight feet high. In 1814, near St. Germain, was found tho tomb of the giant Isorant, who was not less than thirty feet high. In 1580, near Rouen, was found a skeleton whose skull held a bushel of corn, and who was nineteen feet high. The giant linea rt was twenty-two feet high; bis thigh bones were found in 1701 near the river Moderi. In 1823, near tho castle in Dauphine, a tomb was found thirty feet long, six? teen wide, and eight high, on which was cut, in gray stone, these words: "Kinto locbus Rex." The skeleton was found entire, twenty-five and a quarter feet long, ten feet across tho shoulders, and five feet from tho breast bono to tho back! Wo have uo doubt "there were giants in those days," and tho past was, per? haps, more prolific in producing thom than the present. But tho history of giants, during the oUleu time, waa not more remarkable, than that of d war rn, several of whom were even smaller than the Thumbs and Nutta of our own time Who can doubt the benefit of advertis? ing, after reading tho following: "A family in Florida lost their little boy, and they advertised for him in the daily paper. That very afternoon, au alligator crawled up out of tho swamp and died on the front door-step. In his stomach were found a hand-ful of red hair, some bone butions, a glass alley, a brass-bar? reled pistol, a Sunday school book and a pair of check pants. Tho advertisement did it." Whatever lack of law there may be in Alaska, there is just-ice in that domain to satisfy all demands.-Punchinello. The native Russians at Sitka aro fast giving placo by death to incoming Yan? kees.
