If tho duty ia im posectupon the Conservatives of teaohl iug theso people a lesson, it is to "be boped that it will be well applied. The jYetcs, ot yesterday,.says: "Yesterday afternoon, a party of, 100 or 500 negroes assembled at . the coori: ?iouBe- the scone of tho troubles of three years ago. .

'' The rioters carried ali before them, and,.encouraged by" their success, tbey openly announced their de? termination, of 'mashing 'all* tba bloody white men to pieces to-day and tb-mpr row.V These .are the- stern ... facts;' and. they prove that Pillsbury.and bia whole crew will-;be elected, unless the white ci tizona of ' Charleston see to' i t that there, is a forcVat' hand, both to-day and to? morrow, to proteot all oitizena ia the ex? ercise of their privileges, and to prevent an infuriated mob of seuii-b'arpariaos from riding rough-shod over tba oowed bodies of tho good pccpl? cf thc city. '.And hdw may this ba done? We answer, by putting numbers against numbers, and, if needs be, force against force. It is not sufficient that a aoattor iog party of whites-should loiter aro lind the polling precincts. They must bo there in a body. They must act toge-' tuer. They mast be ready for the worst. If blood is to be shed, it cannot be in a better causo than that of vindicating tho right of every oitizan to vote, without molestation, for the candidates of his choice. "The polls mu Ht be guarded to-day, SB well as to-morrow, and they must be guarded all day long. We entreat all employers to set their yoong- moa free' for these two days. For,.if we ore again brow-beaten, if we hold ont -the left cheek aa well as the right tothe ami tor, wo 'may as weU relinquish-,at once ell hope of obtaining a decent and capable goveinment-^we may as well-abandon' forever - this "Charleston, whose -very stones we love,- and confess ourselves the .willing bondsmen bf the marauding Ra? dical negro." . The New York Times has been for several days publishing. lengthy state? ments and. columns of figures,' relative fib francis committed hy the city govern? ment. There is "another sido" to the story. It is proper to say that the Herald, the World, the Journal of Com? merce, and other papers, all point to the - fact that all the oharges, whether tree or Mao, whether exact or exaggerator]Pt aro ehargoB against the old board of super* visors,' which a Republioan Legislature created' and a Demooratio Legislature abolished. The def anot board forms no part of the machinery of the present municipal government. They all, also, call for a full investigation of the city government, and olaim that there ia pro* vision f?r honest government in toe fotare.

He was then sent by President Polk as Minister to Mexico to negotiate - the settlement of questions thou in dispute, but his mis? sion proving fruitless, he returned early in 1810. In 1853 ho was chosen United States Senator, which position he held up to the breaking out of the lute war. Ou retiring from that body, he predicted, in a memorable speech, the ruin of Ame? rican com mofeo in ciise war was forced upon the South. lu the fall of 1861 he was despatched by the Confederate Qo vernmeut nd Commissioner to France, together wi til Mr. Mason, who' was ap? pointed in'the name capacity to England.' .'?iiilliig from '-.Charleston, they' -ran the' : blockade',' and embarked' at Havana on the English st?a me r Trebt.

COLORRD RIOTBBS.-Tba Charleston News gives an account of a Republican meeting, held in that city, on Monday night, ?t which several prominent Rudi osla spoko. There was a procession, .banners; etc.. On returning ' from tho meeting, the colored politicians could not refrain from disturbing'quiet citi? zens. Tho News says : , Tho procession was gathering num? bers as it went on, and with increase of numbers came an increase of excitement and recklessness, amounting in many in? stances to deedB of fiendish malevolence. As they passed up Washington street, they attacked the promises of Mr. Otto Tiedemann, corner Calhoun street, broke, hie windows, and - destroyed everything they could lay their hands on. Now, what induced this wanton assault and destruction we are- at a loss to conceive, for a more peaceable or a more estima? ble gentleman lives not in this city thaq Mr, Tiedemann. The next house that suffered from the fury of the' mob was Mr. C. H. Blancken, corner Charlotte, and Washington streets. They broke his windows, entered the store, and thrust a burning torah into a m-.lusses barrel, under the impression that it was a kerosene barrel. A fiend incarnate could not have exceeded this piece of devilishness. Delighted with these brave achieve? ments, the savage crowd next attacked the store and house of Mr. Klintworth, No. 50 Washington street. They broke windows, as ueual, threw brickbats through them into the rooms, one large piece hitting Mrs. Klintworth in the face and nearly killing her; breaking crock? ery, furniture, ?.o. These- playful exhi? bitions of Radical manners Were accom? panied by yells and shrieks, hurrahing for Pillsbury, -singing,. "John Brown is marohing on," alternating with abuse of General Wjgener, and threats of "burn? ing down every d-d putchman'a house." The pext attuok was at the corner of John and Meeting streets, where they made repeated efforts to break into the store, throwing stones at the windows I and doors, trying to force them open, all the while abusing and cursing the Germans. Mn. STEPHENS AS AN EDITOBIAII PARA? QUAT HI ST.-Aleck Stephens, of tho At? lanta Sun, oan hit back with some point if his political "paragraphs" are five co lumus long. The Louisville Journal, alluding to the report that the little mau bad gained-nine ponnds since he was last weighed, remarked that ho must have had one bf his editorials in bia pocket; whereupon Aleok retorts: "If the Journal editor should put one of Ats editorials in his pocket, he'd go np like a balloon."

FRENCH . RESOOTIOES.-When France finally succumbed after the terrible strug? gle with the German military power, shu was ulmost universally treated by Ame? rican journals as dead beyond tho power' of resurrection. We felt compelled to doubt the porrcot.oeM of that opinion, and pointed out tho fact that shu had been reduced to worse straits before, aud had rapidly reahperated. Oo ouo occa? sion tho great statesman Burke opposed ia the House of Com moue an iucrease of the army estimates on the ground that France had ceased to be a first rate military power, and in two years after? wards ho urged a combination of all the groat European powers to resist her pro? gress. Tho resources of tho nation ure vast, and Frenchmen, as a general rule, are prudent and economical. Outside the cities little is expended for show, or even for comfort, the aim being to save as much as possible,, und when the. Go? vernment wants to borrow there is money to lend. Thus it happens (hut the late loans, to tho remarkable success of which wo have heretofore referred, were so rapidly taken. ? Tho original de? mand of Bismarck was for eight milliards of francs, to be paid within less tban two years. Tho milliard, or 1,000,000, is cquivalont in tho enumeration of francs to $200,000,000 in gold. Ono milliard and a "balf of frauen, or $300, 000,000, < bad to be paid to Germany within tho present year. Thiers made a OAII on Franco for a loan of 8100,000, 000, and within h few hours $900,000,000 Was offered him,- of which $700,000,000 was subscribed by France, (Paris offer? ing $500,000,000, and the provinces $200.000,000,)'Ibe rest beiug lent by foreign capitalists. Aa the Philadelphia Press remarks, Prince Bismarck, who allowed tbe in? demnity to be reduced to five milliards, is probably eorry, by this timo, that be did not adhere to bis first demand of eight-that is $1,600.000,000, instead of $1.000.000.000. He batt not calculated sufficiently on the recuperative power of France. - The subscription to 4.00O, OOO.OOOf., estimating the whole popula? tion, adult and juvenile, at 40,000,000 souls, gives au average of saved money for' every one. The interest on the loan ia six per cent., which is double the amount paid on the national debt of England. We, too, pay six per cent., but tho difference is that France bor? rowed in .gold, the United States in paper money. Th? Press adds that when Ibe Franco Prussian war broke out, a year ago, England bad a national debt-funded, unfunded and value of annuities-ex? ceeding $4.000,000,000. France th- n owed $2,850,000,000. While the war went on this was increased by two lonna of $200,000,000, thereby making an amount of $3.1150,000,000 at tho olose of 1870, being $950,000,000 less than that of England. The new loan will swell this up to $3.45.0.000,000, leaving the French debt $550.000,000 less than the Eoglish. That is, in sterling money. ?690,000,000 French against ?800,000,000 English. A STEANOE BEING IN A TEXAS RIVEK. The Brownsville (Texas) Slates says that A. A. Freoman, Esq., member elect from Haywood County, to the next Legisla? ture, made to oue of the editors of that paper, in the presence of several well known gentlemen, the following remark? able story: J. B. Maxey.au intelligent citizen of Bell's Depot, in this Couuty, aud keeper of the hotel in that place, and fbr whom A. A. Freeman vouches as a reliable, truthful man, was fishing lu a canoe, on Joly 7, in Forked Deer River, near Bell's Depot, and iu that part of the river between the railroad and dirt road bridges, when his attention was called to an object in the river, some fifty yards distaut, which proseuted the appearance of a man drowning. Maxey rowed his boat within ten feot of the object, and saw a remarkable oreature, os the follow? ing desoription will testify: It bad a face perfectly white, with features like those of a human being. It bad something like moss on its bead instead of bair, aud its neck was longer than the neok of a man. Its body, down to the waist, or so much of it as was exposed, was cover? ed with black and white spots. It was as large as an ordinary man, and bad large black eyes. Maxey was within ten feet of it ten minutes. He did not Bee any arms. It looked at bim and slowly turned around and disappeared in the water. Thomas Neal, Esq., told Mr. Freeman that bo saw the same thing at tbe same plaoo about three years ago, but did not tell it because be thought he wonld he laughed at. James Neal and Isaac Ward say tbey saw the same crea? ture. The Wy tho ville (Va) DispaicJt relates tbe following: "Not far from us a young lady attempted to leave the paternal mansion at dead of night, by loworing herself from hor chamber by means of a Sully and rope fastened to the window, he had just reached the ground, where her lover awaited-her, when her enraged siro appeared, seized tbo yonng mao, fastened 'the hook to bis pants, and raised him skywards, leaving him dang? ling in the air until morning. The elopement ia postponed indefinitely.'' Every article in glass-ware and crooke* ry needed by families, in large varieties, and sailing at great bargains, at D. C.

In that conr??ntlou, tho Pall Mall Gazette, of the 12th nit., reoom ' mends what would bo virtually tho abdi? cation of tho Queen, und the transfer of at least the moro .im por tant duties of her oflico t? tho Priuoe and Princess of Wales. The Pall Mall Gazelle says: "Her Majesty's health is understood to require these Inopportune visits to Balmoral, and tho actual business of royalty can bo doue by no one but her? self. But the social duties of her station .could be equally well performed by the Prince and Priuoess of Wales. At o fu? ture day they, must succeed to that place in social aud public lifo which the Queen has vacated, and there is no reason why her Majesty should, not oojoiu them to take that placo ut ouco. The functions i of the crown ns the . visible head of the nation may bo transferred tu tho hoir without any process of abdication. All that would bc'required would bo. that ho should live during thc season at Bucking? ham Palace, surrounded with tho sumo stuto and exorcising the same hospitali? ties as tho Qneeu herself. All tho ex? ternal pomp by which royulty appeals to the imagination of its subjects would again bo seen in London; the Priuco of Wales, as regards the representative and publio side of thiuge, would bo virtually soveroigui There would he nu addition? al outlay needed, on tho part of tho ca? tion, for the proportion of her Majesty's income which would be spent ut Buck? ingham Palace, if she were herself able to keep her court.thens, would be appli? cable to tho same purpose when her court was kept there for her hy the Prince of-Wales. Tho subject is one which it is tho duty of the Cabinet to bring before the attention of thu sove? reign. It Conoerns-it very nearly con cerus-the interests of her crown and dignity, and it cannot be doubted that if her ministers placed it before her in this, its true aspect, her Majesty would willingly accede - to a suggestion so rea? sonable in itself and so perfectly easy of execution." SUK CATCHES HIM.-A lady correspon? dent of the New York Commercial Ad? vertiser, writing from Long Branch, de scribos her uneasiness at the too frequent und too protraoted absences of her hus? band, who is spending the season there with her. Finally, she finds him out, and reclaims him, as follows: I made a discovery a few evenings since which relieved my mind from a great deal of worriment. Our Bex ar?, naturally, suspicious dud inquisitive. I was having a pleasant chat ut the room of a lady friend, when I thought I heard my husband's voice over the fan-light of a neighboring room. . We listened, and heard boisterous laughing, whioh soon convinced us that both our husbands were there. We could hear distinctly, "Chip," "Chip," "Chip," "Twenty better," "What ye got," and a score or more of odd expressions. Woman's cu? riosity waa not long in being gratified. We had no occasion to peep through the keyhole; we learned, to oar entire satis? faction, that nur'husbands were wedded to "two pairs." I wish you could have witnessed my husband when he entered our apartment about 3 o'clock next morning. I had boon waiting for him-had a sleepless night. He entered stealthily, ned com? menced undressing himself. He was ar? rested for a moment by my snoring. I confess I snored, but only in fnn. lt was just to fool him. He, poor follow, stared at mo with all tho eyes in his head; he bad never heard me play before on the nasal organ. I went it as strong as Levy, but with not quito so much har? mony. There ho stood, like patience on a monument, when I commenced talking in my sleep-"Chip," "chip," "chip." "tweuty-fivo better," "two pair." Wa9n't be a picture, though. I could stand it no longer, and so roared right ought. He cou fessed all, and promised to do bettor, and to give moro attention to his deserted wile. Ono of tho negro legislators of Missis? sippi shot a white mao for refusing to argue politics with him. Tho Boston Post thus expresses its indignation: "If a negro can't compel a white mau to an? swer when spoken to, what in tho world is the use of civil rights?" Mrs. Olsflin, in the last number of,her paper, laya this down as a social axiom: If u rigid analysis of the present condi? tion and the general results of marriage, as nov practiced, were to bo gone into, we doubt if there would bo found a sin? gle circumstance to recommend ita con? tinuance. Henry Ward Beecher preached the Other Sunday from the text, "My BOUI oleavoth nuto the dust." It certainly does; and a $20,000 salary ia a pile of dust well worth cleaving to, too. Thc conduct of the husband who boats his wife-beats anything; bot tba! of a man who slams tba door in the face of his wife's relations bangs all.

The Bad toals created a Ka Klux com? mittee to fasten "Southern outrages" upon th? Deruoorats.

We understand that an effort is being mode to organize a Dramatic Club in this oity, and that a meeting' for that purpose will bo held in Temperance Hall, this evening. A young lady, who wita rebuked by her mother for kissing her intended, justified herself by quoting tho 'passage, "Whatsoever yo would that men should do unto you, do you oveu so uuto them." A bachelor says that "lo'vo is a wretch? ed busiuess, consisting of a little sigh? ing, a little cryiug, a little dying, duri a deal of lying."
