Wo observe, with great satisfaction, tho success that attended tbe several fairs that we have recently bad outside of this city, i $he (Abbeville, the Anderson, the Fair? field; the Barnwell County fairs, were all creditable* and gave promise of greater success in tho future. The fair in Char? leston,iof the South Carolina Mechanic's Institute, brought together a crowd of visitors, and many of the departments were well represented. It occurs to us, that the industrial energies of onr peo? ple dre tnldug the right channel, when they build up these annual exhibitions. Lot us have hore, annually, a grand State fair, and'so arrange it that the ex callent.Cpuaty fairs, and the fair of the South Carolina Mechanics' Institute shall not only do their own good work, but allow their tributary streams to flow hither, as. to a common aud oentral point.' . :-.rrr-rf * . ' ? I* ?rv er ?lou. or Public Trustai One.cf the most crying evils of na? tional and municipal legislation in our country, says the Baltimore Sun, is tho perversion of pnblio trusts to partisan, and sometimes to personal purposes. The public service has come to be looked upon by political organizations and in? dividual adventurers as the shortest road to wealth. There was a time when men impoverished their private fortunes in sustaining their pnblio character, but now, so the former ia aggrandized, they care not how much the latter is impair? ed. There was an era of corruption sonic centuries ago in Great Britain, when it is said that the regular salary was the smallest part of the gains of an official man. That period would seem to be revived in various localities of our own country. The unscrupulous vio lonco with which office is struggled for, aj}d the scandalous appliances adopted to retain it, are too often prompted by o ravenous appetite for spoils and plunder. The power of publio opinion in this country is great, and the standard of in? tegrity in private.business relations high, but:the .principles of morality, whict reg?late dealings between man and man tseern to be regarded as of no obligatory force in many public bodies. Honesty docs not appear to be considered ever the best policy. Parties como into powc: upon hobbies of retrenchment and re form, but when they are successful, th? steeds they rode are turned out to grass It is often only brushiug off one set o leeches to let another and hungrie swarm fasten upon the veins. Evei whore recognized rings do not exist there ih sometimes a criminal laxity a to the interests of the community in th mode in which the publia money is ex pended. Tho only legitimate rule o expenditure in national or municipal lc gislat?ou is to consult the best interests good aud cuds of the public. This ml will be held sacred by all couscicntiou men io small as well as large things Where looseness manifests itself in littl matters, it justifies apprehensions as ti the conduot by the same ' persons of ai fairs of more moment. Where publi servants depart in one respect from a Ie gitioiate purpose and an evident require meut of duty, who can tell where th aberration will end? Tho unscrupulous ne6s thus indicated must ovideutly groi as long as they havo the power thus t act, and it will be strengthened by prac tice. It will run into everything, bi jobs and little jobs, and show itself in a the various departments where mone has to be spent. A gentleman of New Orleans reccntl passed through Germany, and gives, i the result of his observations, that tl military resources of that country ai inexhaustible, and that even the lar? drafts for tho armies have not affecte the cultivation and the production of tl country. Tho women tako the places i the men in the field, and tho who country presents a thriving and high cultivated aspect. Whilst the Gormt women are thus raising tho means subsistence for the whole people, 01 "African ladies" aro idling away in thc cabins, and cannot bo enticed into tl cotton fields, oven by liberal wages. ll tho glowing, ono is almost tempt to write glittering, reports of the ric ucss of the newly-discovered diamoi ilolds ave borne out by facts, then tl owners of gems of "purest ray seren had better look to their valuable poss? sions, for their market value, which h boon increasing of late years, will c< tainly depreciate if fresh &upplies of t gems como from the Vaal Uiver region tho cargo, as thoy threaten to do, accoi ing to our latest advices from the n v.iamocd conutry.

Tho following aro now Senators: Burroughs, Cardozo, Clinton, Duval], Holcombe, Lomax, Mishaw, McIntyre, Smalls, Whittomoro and Wilson.

Tho following aro white: Allen, Arnim, Bieman, Borroughs, Corbin, Diokson, Duncan, Duvall, Feater, Oreen, Hayes, Hay ne, Holcombe, Leslie, Montgomery, Mc?utyre, Owens, Bose, Whiitemoro, Wilson-twenty. The following are colored: Barber. Cardozo, Clinton,'John? ston, Maxwell, Nash, Bainey, Smalls, Swails and Wimbnsh-ten. There are five Demooretio members, all white, as follows: Bieman, Bur? roughs, Duvall, Foster and Holcombe. Thoro is ono Independent white mem? ber, Wilson, from Anderson. Of the radical members, the following are white Allon, Arnim, Corbin, Dickson, Dun can, Greene, Hayes, Leslie, Montgo mory, McIntyre, Owens, Bose and Whit temore-thirteen.

Thoro are in the House twenty two Reformers, ono Independent and IUI Radicals; twenty-six white Radicals and forty-nine odored Radicals. One member has died, leaving the Radicals a majority of exaotly 100, inoluding the Speaker of the lower House. Ou joint ballot tho Badicalshave a majority of 118; the blacks of sixteen. Tho Paris Constitutionnel publishes a document of a prophetical character, which, just at tho present moment, pos? sesses a more than ordinary interest. We allude to a prediction well known iu certain parts of France as "Tho Prophe? cy of Blois." It was made in 1808 by an Ursuline nun of that city, and sho foretold that troubles would come upon both Blois and France in 1818 and in 1870. The^formcr part of her prediction has come truo, and, therefore, there is a probability that the latter part of it may also be realized. While foretelling terri? ble troubles to France in the present year, the nun went on lo predict le sau? veur a la France, and added that le should be a man whom the country did not expect. According to her prophecy, tho grauds malheurs were to begin after tho middle of July-it will bo remem? bered that tho war dates from just before that time-and before the vintage. Tho troubles foretold were to affect the capi? tal especially, in which there was to be a fearful fight aud very great massacre. "Both good aud bad will fall in battle, for all tlie men will be called ont and only the old men loft in tho place. "The time," adds the nun, "will be short, for the women will preparo tho vintages, though the men will return to complete tho work. Meantime no news will be obtaiued, excepting through privato let? ters. Presently three couriers will ar? rive at Blois, of whom the first will bring tidings that all is lost, the second will be in too great a hurry to stop at all, and tho third, who will come by fire and wa? ter"-probably this is by railway-"will bo tho bearer of good news. A Te Dcum will then bo sung, such as never has been heard sung before; but this Te Deum will uot bo in honor of him who reigned at tho first, but for the saviour grauted (accorde) to France." Tho prophecy of Blois ends by a statement to tho effect that "tho Prince will not be there; they will go and seek him elsewhere; and after the Prince has ascended the throne, France will enjoy peace and prosperity for twenty years." TUE POPULATION OF THE SOCTHEHN STATES.-It has been assumed that tho Southern States had sustained such large losses of population during tho war, that little or no increase was to be expected by tho present census. Tho following figures disprove this assertion: STATES. 1870. I860. Alabama.1,002,000 961,200 Arkansas. 486,103 135,150 Delaware. 125,000 112,210 Florida. 189,995 140,421 Georgia.1,185,000 1,057,286 Kentucky.1,323,261 1,155,681 Louisiana. 710,394 708.002 Maryland. 780,000 687,029 Mississippi. 834,190 791,305 Missouri.1,703,000 1,182.012 North Carolina. .1,072,000 992,622 douth Carolina.. 735,000 703,708 Tennessee.1,288,326 1,109,801 Texas. 850,000 091,215 Virginia.1,209,607) i 59? 318 West Virginia.... 117,042 j I.?**?.?!?

The price offered is a cent and a quarter to a cent and a half per pound, for picking. A good hand will make from fifteen hun? dred to eighteen hundred pounds a week, and tho best field hands used to mako considerably more than the maxi? mum.

Another Ne were lejTo?f ats meaV'wn abathanv satil fatality]attending the case Mary Geary; Misa Mary, ot 4 o'clock, on a recent* Saturday afternoon, wins working, in apparent good health, in a hat and feather store. At 6 or 6, she was under the murderous manipul?t iona of "Doctor" Evana, in a miserable den on Chatham street, sixteen feet long by ten wide, in which three other patients simi? larly situated were also lying. An hour later, the don bore tho appearance of a slaughter-bouse, and the soul of poor Mary Geary had gone home to her God. From health, comfort and supposed vir? tue and innocence, abo had been sud? denly made a murderess and a corpse, losing her own life in the effort to de? stroy her offspring. SAD CASUALTY FROM EXPLOSION.-On Saturday afternoon, the boiler of the rice mill on the Recesa plantation, on Back river, opposite the city, suddenly exploded, killing nine negroes outright, mortally wounding two more, and in? flicting serious wounds npon others who were standing near. Sinco the accident, tho two severely wounded negroes have died, making eleven human beings who have perished by this sad casualty. The primary causo of the explosion, wo havo not yet learned. It was probably an ac? cident that could hardly have beon pre? vented.-Savannah News. It is stated that the new Legislature of Louisiana, just elected, will contain four colored men in the Senate and about forty in the House. South Carolina not only has three colored members of Con? gress, but a colored Lieutonunt-Govern or, eleven colored' State Senators, and eighty colored members of tho House, besides a colored Secretary of Stato and a Supreme Judge. Alabama has elected a oolored member of Congress nnd a number of colored persons to thc State Legislature. The total streugth of the United States army, according to General Sherman's report, is 34,870 men, including twenty five infantry regiments, 1G.48G men, ten cavalry regiments, 9,892 men, and five artillery regiments, 4,205 men. The to tal commissioned officers, for nil branches of the service, is 2,488. This number must be reduced to 2,277 beforo January 1, 1871, und the number of enlisted men must be reduced to 80,000 before July 1, 1871. APOLOGIES.-The Emperor Napoleon has written a lengthened review of the Eraueo-Germanio war up to tho capitu? lation of McMahon's army. The New York Express dismisses his apology in this pithy fashion: "Marius, among the ruins of Carthage, or Charles XII, after .dark Poitou a's day,' was majesty itself compared with these post-mortem pleas, and excuses, and self-exculpations of the Mau of Sedan." In a recent speech in Boston, Senator Wilson inadvertently announced the purpose of his associates when ho de? clared: "We have got the Congress, wc havo got the President, we have got the Supremo Court, and wo mean to koop them all"-thus showing that in their frantic efforts to obtain a new lcaso of political power and patronage, tho radi? cal leaders aro counting ou a partisau Supremo Court. SCARCITY OF MULES IN KENTUCKY. Kentucky, so a practical farmer com? plains, has not been as bare of good mule- stock for thirty years ns at pre? sent. He is of the opinion that, unless some steps are taken to recuperate this character of stock, there will be a marked declino in tho quantity of mules, upon which so much of the prosperity of the State depends. SAD DEATH.-We have been pained to learn of the death of Mr. Theodore M. Brogdou, of this District, on Tuesday of last week.

A gentleman named Brown once observed in company that he had toasted a lady for twelve mouths, and yet hail little hopes of making her Brown. A Vermont girl wants to know if the woman's rights movement includes the right to do the courting. If it does, she is in for it, as the men in her vicinity are very bashful. There is something practical in that.
