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.'

? 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.

will bo i?und alb aooorato abd oompSote
statement of tlia complexion of tho pre?

The Sonate consista of thirty-two
members, sixteen of whom aro for tho
long term, and hold over. One of
these, Henry Buck, died during the last
year, and an eloction was ordered to fill

Mc?utyre, Owens, Bose, Whiitemoro,

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

ono members re-elected, eighty-three
new; forty-nine white and seventy-fivo
colored. 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:

A gentleman just arrived from Little
Rock, Arkansas, estimates that there are
now 25,000 acres of good cotton standing
in that immcdiato neighborhood, ready
to be packed, but that cannot bo until
mid-winter, owing to tho absolute im?
possibility of securing labor. 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. There are some Chinese there J
aud in tho adjacent regions, and they are

"Doctor" Evana, in a miserable den on
Chatham street, sixteen feet long by ten

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.
