-A chatty correspondent of the .New
York Tribune, sketching the effeot of
Lent upon the social gayeties of the national
capital, says:
If any one entertains a donbt as to
the virtue of certain regulations of the
Holy Catbolio Church, a winter in
Washington wonld go far to dispel the
donbt, especially if the winter inelnded
that period when the festivities, raging
- ?* J
at their highest, are Boauenij I CUUWU
to ashes by the oxtingnisber of Lent,
in which case the forty days of fasting
and prayer will be seen to loose half
their ritualistic significance and become
a sanitary provision, and certainly no
Lent was ever more needed than this
oue^has been; for the season has not
been a short one, and its exaotion have
been severe. Matrons, martyrs to the
morning visit to the extent of two hundred
or three hundred a week, have
foresworn home and taken, not to their
beds, but to their coaches, so long as it
lasted. The doctor has become the
hos^m friend of half the world, and
matinees daneantes and receptions have
fed its flame furiously; while as its
end approached, as the custom is, it
blazed liko a little Gehenna.
You think the term is strong; but to
what better can one compare a thing
that absorbs life add strength and beau*?

The Washington season is indeed a
generic thing. Women 'come to the
place for the sake of it, aa they .go to
no other city. The ridiculous assumption
that the wives of politicians have
no right to say privacy renders official
society accessible to all, while the intraductions
obtained there to people of
the more select circles, when fortified
by wealth and pertinacity, open the
whole charmed -rouqd of pleasure; an J,
beginning modestly with a single
public reception, and enticed to ven<
ture further, one is soon plunged in
threo dcop for every night, and over
head and ears the last half doxen.

Dot to have been a part of the Peruvian

Pleasant things these balls, too;.one
must be anchorite to deny it; delightful
booths for the wayfarer through
Vanity Fuir. When you entered their
itmosphero yon found it something vast
Iy other than that of the real mattei*>ot?
fact life of every day that pursued-you
mtside; it was a region of enchaDttuent;
the staircases, from basement to roof,
irjund with flowering shrub, where art
:oncealed everything but the branch
?nd blossom; wreathes and balls and
Daslcets of flowers swinging from lintel
ind window and picture and bracket;
oses crowning the statnes; sprays of
Iropping vines wreathing the ohande*
icrs that shed the soft brilliance of
ira*"lights overhead; mantels covered
with moss and bedded with violets;
all vases on prccions pediments lifting
in ovorflowing wealth of asaliaa and
icliotropes, sod rare clastere of scarlet
passion-.flowers, and oold camefias, and
Miming geraniums, and great white
>rohids hiring a honeyed breath in
heir golden hearts, and daphnes dying
)f their own sweetness, eneiroling the
Fern-filled basins where tiny fountains
moled the air about them; music murnured
there too; a stream of gorgeous
fines and tissues, bare bosoms and
? a a
blazing jewels, ascended ana descended
the stairway; down one vista
Jancere flashed in and oat their mazes,
down another ths crystal and gold and
silver of a table shone, red with Bar*
gundy and Bordeaux, tempting with
terrapin and truffles, with enormities
of spiced meats and pastries sadconfections
and fruits.
Perhaps the President was in the
smoking-room, and two or three of his
Cabinet ministers were not far away:
the general of tho army, the admiral
of the navy, wore rare to be among the
guests. There were the foreign miniss
tere, whose whole life is in party-going;
there were distinguished strangers and
? ??--1..11
world known women, too; pat toe mm
was given for none of them, not for
any enjoyment of wisdom or learning,
or wit?these people were ' but
accessories along the wall?it was
given for the 'display of beaniyand
toilette; it was a booth in Vanity Fair,
as I said,' for the sale of its wares.-?
Numberless beautiful shapes flitted by
you?you, bewildered as some Mohammedan
just let loose among the houris
of his heaven. Your eye rested on one
perhaps, a face pure as & pearl it may
have been, yet lovely only with the
loveliness of youth, its dewy eye, its
downy skin, its happy smile; bnt the
toilette was an allurement itself, with
ii delicatelj-tioted silk, its hoarfrost of
lace, itepearls sod diamonds; the maiden
moved so serenely along, so native
to the air, as it were, that it seemed as .
if -snob scenes were the only ones in
which it was fit she -should be found.?
But you Watched her for a while, saw
her, warm from the daaee,asahe took ,
her ice, while her hare white shoulders
were h> the draught that swayed the
heavy curtain behind heq presently she
went further into the great supper*
room, eating there?like afooust?with
the appetite of youth and . ^aooing; she
ended by swallowing the. little .bird

a jelly so strongly aeasonod, as to drive
the blood to her temples, she sipped a
potation into which nothing entered'

juices, and thai her /paptner'a arm wo
round her waist, her .held ra on hie
shoulder, and the vet plunging at the
signal into the German, whirling to de- i
lieioa* measures, presently clasped in a
new embrace, flying from that man's i
arms to another's, growing wild with
the abandon of the figure, her hair ]
flying, her drees disordered, her pow?
der caked, her face red, till pausing <
one instant forthe champagne in aser- i
1 rant's hands, yoorgirt with the face u |
pare as pearl, -seemed nothing Jbnt a <
delirious Baeohanfa. If you punned <
observation father, yon foand that she i
went home at daybreak, that still i
throbbing with excitement she could j
find no sleepy bat that knowing if she i
did not sleep she would be unfit for tho ,
next root, she dosed herself with a |
soothing drag and .was soon lost io j
dreams as wild as-the night bad beon i
?a tremendoous drag, as yetunknwn i
in all its power* to its' discoverer? <
which barns and paralyses her eyelids, j
and blind# her eyes, and makes her i
brain for many a day as useless as her <
hands, resting her ptenrst by weaken- i
ing-them, and leaving them all ready, <
with the next strain, for foaming and j
and yoaxeknowiedged that Lent came !
none too early, unless ahe and all her i
kio wished death to them "where
they never see the eon."

the last one, the only thing we find to

English noblemen, Whom fate sent to
oar shores just a week too. late, and
whom we shall doubtless secure for
the chief attraction of a few stately

Upon invitation by His Excellenoy '
the Governor, several prominent eiti-. ;
zeos of the State assembled at the
Capitol, on Monday evening, to eon- en
It upon the present disturbed eoa?r
dition of affairs in the upper portion of
the State.,; Among those present
were Col. Simeon Fair, of Newberry,
General McGowan, of Abbeville, Mr. 1
Hemphill, of Chester, General Kershaw,
of Camden, General Easley, of Greenville,
Colonel Wallaoe, Gabriel Cannon,
of Spartanburg, Messrs. Simmons, of
the Qourier, Pope, Seibels and Ezell,
of Colombia, and several others. The 1
conference was free and pleasant, and
the present condition of affairs was
freely discussed. The principal object
of the conference was touirive at the
cause of the existiog troubles, and, if
possible, suggest a remedy. Wuwere
present, aud listened to the confer- 1
sations throughout, and confess to being
agreeably surprised at the general
tone of tbo meeting. *.
The principal cause of tbo trouble,
is urged by nearly all these gentlemen,
was the organization and arming of 1
one class or race of citieens as .against :
the other. It was argued, with coo- 1
siderable force, by every gentleman 1
who spoke' upon the subject, that
placing arms in the baods of the colored 1
men gave a feeling of.insecurity to the 1
whites, and caused a feverish feefingof 1
llarm to pervade every .communi- '
ty. Whether this feeling was well 1
grounded, or otherwise, made no' di- {
Terence to the fact that ffdeh a feel-,
ng actually existed, and so long as '
;hat feeling existed there was in- (
ninent danger of a collision ~ upon
:he slightest provocation. It was
"urther urged?and hot without some <
tfaow of reason?that tho arming of the
Jolored raUitia was regarded by the
whites as dangerous to peace and good 1
?1 ?1? ? awm. 8
Jracr j 3quv wucirus^ i/uivio oav^ ?
og was done,.meq could go to bed ia '
peace and security, without fear of *
molestation,. now they were compelled, j
xt go armed themselves as a measure of '
idf-protectiou, The debate upon this ^
inbject waa long and exhaustive, but j
ho conclusion reached by all was, '
hat the arming of the colored militia j
was at least an.unwise measure'.
Another fruitful source of oomplalnt, '
ktid odo which we hare regarded as 1
ying at the very root of the whole '
natter, was the profligate and irrespon- i
able manner in whion the Legislature 1
pctformed its work during tho last :
tession. ;
It will he recollected that wo repeat- 1
idlr warned the I legislature that the \
people were watching its' operations, ind
that dimatjafied constituents would 1
bold derelict members to an account for *
,heir stewardship, liut, one poiut in <
Ul the OTgumetJt struck us with more '
force than all others, aod that was, that '
die present system was one of "taxation 1
(rithoat representation." This fact ,1
aniwt be denied, that,, practically, the '
Legislature is a. body that represents '
sot a very small portion of tbe material <
wealth of the State. ' \ 1
Many of the]gentlemen admitted that 1
-he por centum of pucation was not 1
exorbitant, bat the assessments were '
ratragebasly disproportionate and un- {
Inst, and that taxes were, in many in- 1
itances ten times as tigh as tbey ought 1
-o be. This arises from the incompetency 1
A Am rtf TrrVinm nnfjiall V '
II IUO AHCMVIOj icn vi j
mow any thing about the value of pro* '
pcrty, and many moro being governed '
nore by persoml spite than by a desire
a do justice. This is no doubt true, to
t great extent. 1
These were the two principal points <
iisoussed, although others were in- <
jidentally mentioned. We were highly i
{ratified with the manly and dignified '
positions taken by General McGowap
tnd Colonel Fair, and, while we have
10 particular objections to offer to the 1
emarks of any of the gentlemen present, <
ve regard the stand taken by the two i
gentlemen named as pre-em'nently just
md dignifiedThe
meeting had no political signifi- !
sauce whatever, for pplitica were not '
nentioned, except incidentally, during ]
he entire conference. That the meet* t
ng will result in good, tbere is every t
eason to believe, as these gentlemen e
an return to their homes impressed I
-:,t the Governor 11
villi IUO Wiivi ? ??
eally desires to protect the interests i
>f nil classes of citixens, irrespective of <
party lines. J
That there are certain abases in the 1
Legislature whioh most be corrected, '
:here is no one foolish enough to deny;
rod so long as these abuses exist, there
rill bo a fruitful cause for oomplaint. '
Most of the gentlemen, who took part <
la the conference, returned to their 1
homes yesterday.?Daily Union. 1
The usual cry iu proclaiming the
hour when sentry duty, is "Half-past J
ten o'clock and all's well P' but the
Dutchman, who was on dmy, had for- '
gotten the precise words, and sang out,
at the top of bis voice: "More ash den '
o'clock, and ail is better ash gootP'.?
A friend of long standing, a gentleman
of intelligence and experience,
predicts an abundant fruit year. He {
says he has long noticed, and never
known it to fail, that when the wind
blows from the North on the 14th of
