ILLINOIS.-That oblo journal, tho New York World, indulges in some highly eulogistic remarks apon the character and career of that prosp?rons and grow: ing State in the North-west-Illinois. Illinois, it says, is the greatest marvel of progresa and development in the his? tory of'the world. Within the memory of men still living, it was an expanse of unbroken prairie, and now it is covered with villages, houses and cities, with schools and colleges, with farms and factories, with railroads, and is still marching bravely and steadily on in her career of unexampled growth. Nor is ehe behind in the matter of government. AB the World says, Illinois has become the brightest star in our political con? stellation, by the boldness and wisdom of its constitutional reforms." Among the new features, many of them excel? lent-introduced into its Constitution, is that Ot IIINOIUTY or PBOPOUTIONAL P.BP BBSEKTATION Its determination to make this experiment, is enough of i Ut If to stamp Illinoisalfs a commonwealth, saga? cious and wide awake. As our readers are aware, wa invest this principle with great interest and are earnestly bent upon drawing to it pub!io consideration and public endorsement. It is necessa? ry to tho life of free governments based upon suffrage. It makes self-govern? ment consistent with peaoe, security a Ad liberty. ? It regulutes the strenm of uni? versal suffrage. It puts a check^upou the maddening torrent of the power of the majority. It ohanges license into liberty. It compresses and utilizes and gives direction to vast energies. It keeps the body politic together, aud saves it from disintegration or decay or death. It is a principle wuich ? tami s to government os does the application of steam, to industry. When steam was chained, a work was done in the muterial world not unlike that which will be con? summated when proportional represen? tation shall become part and purcel of the governmental system. And Illinois has won the honor of making a great ex? periment. The PLAN adopted may not be perfect. Doubtless, it is to be im? proved npon. But a stop in the right direction has been taken, and even now are the laurels of honor due to the young giant of the North-west. On this subject, our cotemporary of the New York World says: "The Illinois s?beme of minority rep? resentation, or more properly of cumu? lative voting, has great value as an ex? periment, and its progress will be watch? ed with much interest. In each Senato? rial district, three members are to be chosen of the lower branch of the Legis? lature; and the peculiarity of the soborne is that each eleotor may distributo or concentrate his three votes us he pleases. He may give one vote each to three sepa? rate candidates ia the old ordinary man? ner; or he may give three votes to one favorite candidate; or (whioh probably would not often happen) he may give two of his votes to one candidate and one vote to another. There is au intrinsic fairness ia allowing the elector this free disposal of his votes, and it will lead in many cases to a more equitable and pro? portionate representation of the consti? tuencies than prevails under the preseut system. In every district where one of the two political parties is in a cleur und acknowledged miuority, it will givo that minority one of the three representa? tives, if its numbers are sufficient to en? title) it to ono. But in districts where the parties are pretty eveuly balanced, the operation of the system is moro doubtful, lu such districts each party will nominate a full ticket, as neither will be willing to make a public confession of inferiority. If the tickets are weak, or if there should be weak men on either, it gives u great ohanae to one popular in? dependent candidate, whose friends may easily elect him by concentrating ail their votes. The now system may thus bring into the Legislature u few mem? bers of uncommon ability and weight of character, who can follow their honest judgment untrammelled by party obli? gations. If this should be one of ita fruits, the experiment would be more than vindicated. But there is danger that in many balanced districts the ef? fect would be very different. As u gen? eral rule, two full tickets will probably be nominated, and the friends of partic? ular candidates will attempt to elect them by betraying-tho other candidates on tho same ticket. Nothing could have a more debasing effect on our already corrupt politics. With nil ita possibili? ties of good aud of evil, wo hope tho ex? periment will bo fairly tried; but we .should be sorry to see it imitated in the same form iu any other State until uftur it has been fully tested in Illinois." THE BAJJII MOVES ON-PENNSYLVANIA RADIOAI?S POR MIKOIUTY liti'?tKSENTA TION.-The example of Illinois and the Bloomsburg success-Mr. Buckulew's work-aro producing fruits. We notice that a preliminary meeting of radical parties was recently held in Philadel? phia. The object was to further the work of representativo reform. A num? ber of intelligent mon advocated tho minority principle. It waa resolved to move in the matter. Thus men of both politioal parties are coming to recognize repr?sentation. Heaven speed the good Work. The principio cornea to save the republic and to link lijberty with peace and jaetiq^ and solid power. It in uo party meajpure. It risea above VARTY and woos to ita adoption the spirit of a broad and lofty PATRIOTISM. ?uiitrul IC c is li ii w' s I.rttcr. We observe that General Kershaw, having been assailed in the Bannet' of the I South-Father Ryan's paper-replies in defence of his own political position. To those who know this gallant Carolinian and high-toned gentleman, this defenco is unnecessary. Gen. Kershaw'a devo? tion to South Carolina and his fidelity to what is good and true and right, should piuco bim beyond the reproaoh which ! was oust upon him. We know that Gen. Kershaw has no object in view, save the good of the State and the prosperity of tho people. THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY AND THE SUFFRAGE OF THE NEGRO.-The New York World says : "In tbe forward movement of the great Democratic army, it seems to us that the Democracy of New York aro iii the van, and that tho patriotioDemocra? cy of Kentucky linger in the extreme rear and ref nae to march without a great burden of camp-kettles strung upon their shouldered muskets or inverted upon the points of their flag staffs. When the tilteenth amendment was de? clared adopted, the Democracy of New York ut once concluded that tho negro question WHS, for any effective political purpose, ut an end. Our D?mocratie Legislature, thou iu sessiou, immediately passed an Act repealing all tho Statt, laws that discriminated against person? of color; and wo carried the Stato elec tiou which soon followed by au unprece? dented majority. We felt some doubt whether tho Democracy of other States would immediately approve our course; but there was no dissent amoug our? selves, and we were willing to trust to results for our vindication elsewhere. We have since watched Democratic movements in other Stutes with much interest and some solicitude, to seo how far they were likely to follow onr leud. Except in Kentucky, we have found no? thing but encouragement. The Demo? cratic party of Ohio has since held a State. Convention, and adopted a plat? form iu which further oppositiou to negro voting was silently withdrawn. What is more important and Bigniiicsut, the Democratic Senators and Represen? tatives in Congress have recently held a consultation, and issued au address, in which not a word is said on the negro question, and the party is counselled to waste no effort on dead issues. The great body of tho party is marching up to the position taken by the Democracy of New York, who lead tho advance, with the siuglo exception of Kentucky. "liven ia Kentucky, the Democracy are by no means unanimous os to the ex? pediency of re-baptizing themselves os a 'white man's party' and protracting a bootless fight against the negro. By far the ablest Democrat ie paper ia that Stale aud one of the ablest iu the country, the Courier-Journal, of Louisville, has stea? dily protested against a hide-bound, short-sighted policy, which, if the whole party adopted it, could result in nothing but continued defeat aud dis? aster." This Democracy, expounded by tho World, is ours-liberal and progressive. Tho following gentlemen compose the Executive Committee of the Union Re? form purty, as ut present constituted: J. B.

The nomination of delegates eau be made on sale day in August in each County. Greenville is accessible from all points by railway aud is nearly central. The County newspapers are requested to make this suggestion to their readers. "UNION REFORM." GENERAL HAMPTON AND TUB STATE SURVIVORS' ASSOCIATION.-We would call the general attention of the people of the State to tho following circular of General Hampton in reference to the preservation of tho statistics of the late war: The State Survivors' Association de? sires to collect, preserve and publish the personal history of the troops furnished by South Carob un to the Confederate service. The Association desires first to publish the names of all entitled to a place upon that glorious roll, and next, as far us possible, the history of each and every one so enrolled. Tuking np the work commenced by Professor Rivers during the wur, the Executive Committee propose to go on with it-to obtain and perfect tho rolls of companies, tho records of regiments aud the history of brigades, for imme? diate publication. Also to collect the rolls of thc general and stall" depart? ments, to wit: General officers, adjutant, medical, quartermaster and commissary departments, engineer aud sigual corps, etc., etc' The first step iu this work is to obtain correct compfluy and staff rolls. Few it muy be of the originals remain, but as the companies were each formed in dis? tinct neighborhoods, it is believed that rolls very nearly correct can now bo made by the survivors from memory, if they will only seriously undertake the work. The Executive Committee of the State ask that you will make out from the original rolls, or from memory of your comrade? and yourself, rolls of your com? pany or staff department, upon the blunk forms furnished herewith; and when completed, transmit the same to Colonel Edward McCrady, Jr., Chairman Exec? utive Committee State Survivor's Asso? ciation, at Charleston. I appeal earnestly to all who were in our service to co-operate with tho Asso? ciation iu the object it has in view, as it is a matter of great historical importance, und should be oue of pride that tho name of every man given by our State to the Confederate sorvico should be enrolled and preserved. Several of the Southern States are now preparing similar rolls, and it will bo a subject of emulation among all to ascertain which of them gave most freely to our cause. If the information now Bought by the Association is given generally by those who arc able todo so, our State, it is be? lieved, will show a record surpassed in honor und brilliancy by none other. Asking the cordial assistance of all who desire to vindicate the honor, aud to perpetuate the fame of our State. I am, very respectfully, WADE HAMPTON, President Survivors* Association, S. C. TnE CENSUS.-This opportunity for Government espionage is being fearfully botched. From every sectiou of the country, come complaints of the tardi? ness und political bias of the appointees to do this work. From present appear? ances, the whole affair seems likely to be run in the interest of the radical party, and nothing will be allowed to be record? ed which can possibly reflect upon that immaculate organization. A colored mau, named Ben, Johnson, bas been convicted near Laurel, Del., who confessed to raping four or five white ladies in tho vicinity. The brute has been placed in such u conditiou that he will never interfere with any one agaiu. Tho miscreant Blinn, who killed a boy and attempted to violute a womun, op? posite Lawreueeburg, in Kentucky, has Peen arrested m-ar tho scene of his crime and lodged in jail. The mortality in New York largely de? creased last week, the deaths being 597, which is 137 less than in tho previous week. Tho marriages were 209, and tho births 303. Iuquests were hold in Charleston, on the lltb, over tho bodies of Mr. James O'Neill-who "came to his death by the visitation of God;" und Jumes Stewart who died of apoplexy. DrLurge proposes starting a paper in Charleston ut au early day, for, as report hath it, aiding the colored people in se? curing their filiare of the State and Fed? eral olli ces. A statue of Guttenberg, of green bronze, which stands in the court-yard of thu Imperial printing office at Puris, wus struck by lightning recently and turned completely white. Tho privato boarding-house of Mrs. M, A. Mackey, at Aiken, was, together with tho furniture,, totally destroyed by fire on the 10th.

About the middle pt \ last week Vanderbilt' discovered the trick of bis sly antagonist, and put his freight np again to $40. A New York letter snys: "Tho im? mense Southern hotel, on Broadway, op? posite Broad street, will ?oon be rendy for oconpancy. It is, without exception, the highest building in New York, and thero are very few higher iu tho world, excepting some of the European cat ho drals. It presents a rather imposing front to the street, and the appearance of the upper stories, built after the Man? sard style, is pleasing to the eye. Manbus Case, living near North Bend, Boone County, Ky., made a desperate attempt to kill Mrs. Wilburn Hodges, of the same pince, Inst Tuesday. Ho fired a revolver three times, the balls passing through her dress; then placed the pistol to her forehead, when it snapped. Case waB a discarded lover of Mrs. Hodges, but both parties were since married. Case has been arrested. A sort of guerilla war is waging in Breathitt County, Kentucky, growing out of a quarrel between three men. Thero are about thirty on each side, well armed, and on the lookout for each other. In Indiana, a maiden and a matron are this week to have a foot race, to de? termine whether the single or tho mar? ried women of that State aro the fleetest.

Juno 23 HENRY WARD BEECHER AND THE CON? DUCTOR.-Tho following good story is told of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher: It seems Beecher bad observed the in justice of obliging men to work on Sun clays, and preached a sermon on it. Next day, he entered into a conversation with n oar driver, while riding to Fulton Ferry, and asked him if he did not think that some plan might be adopted to dis? penso with the need of ruuning tho cars all day Sunday. The driver being en? tirely ignorant of the mime aud nature of Iiis interrogative friend made a frauk reply: "Yes, sir; I think thero might. But there's no hope of it so long as they keep that tl-d Beecher theatre open iu brooklyn. The cars have to ruu to ac? commodate that." It is hardly necessary to add that the driver's remark was a "home thrust," and was considered so good that Beecher told it himself. A youug girl, wishing to commit sui cide, threw herself into the Seine, from which she was taken ont in nn insensible state. Dr. Do Lannensar, of Berey, being sent for, tried various means of restor? ing her to consciousness, but without success, uutil ho uudertook to produce artificial respiration by breathing into ker luuga. After two hours' work, bo restored her, but barely had timo to re? ceive ber tbunks, when he died of ex? haustion. The New Yorkers are groaning over their treeless streets. Go where they will about towu, there is au absence of, trees and shade. lu order to remedy this state of affairs, Rome of tho papers are advising property-holders to plant in front of their property such shade trees UH will be a welcome ornament to the city. Nothing gives a city a cooler appearance tb pit***kr of sbado trees in nil of tho streets. A French shop-keeper recently gave it in evidence before a committee on tb? Anglo-French treaty, that thero is nu market in Europe for English stockings. The reason assigned was that the French ladies aro so much more finely shaped thau the English, that stockings made for the one will not tit the other.
