NEW YORK CITY was recently seized
with a spasm of economy and re
duced her expenses by cutting
down the salary of teachers, -while
the salaries of political offices were
left unchanged. As it is, the city
expends $3,399,000 for schools.
WE WERE TOLD that the passage of
a silver bill would depress the bonds
and chase gold out of the country.
Yet simultaneously with the passage
of the bill through both houses,
gold tumbled down and bonds went
up. The quidnunes are at a loss
to explain tLis.
A NEw EIGHT PAGE tri.weekly paper,
called, the "8traightout 1emnocrat,"
will shortly be established in Colum
bia, under the editorial management
of Maj. Henry S. Farley. Its pro
spectuu indicates that its politics are
to be "red hot." We extend a
welcome in advance to the new
courier, though we must say that
this is not an auspicious season to
start newspapers.
WASHINGTON'S BIRTUDAY was cele
brated with great eclat in Charles
ton, the military parade being the
most imposing that had taken place
in twenty years. Governor Hamp
ton, Gen.iW. H. F. Lee, Gen. Brad,
ley T. Johnson and the Walker
Light Guard of Virginia were
Toasts and speeches wore prominent
features of the occasion.
Pope Leo XIII
The election of Cardinal Pecci to
the Pontificate seems to have given
satisfaction to all parties save the
ultramnontanes or irreconcilable
high churchmen. The new pope is
sixty seven years of age, of com
manding presence, and is distin..
gished for ability- During the late
pontificate he was an object of the
jealousy of Cardinal Antonelli, who
feared to have so dangerous a rival
near the throne, aind endeavored to
epress him. It is thought that the
nlew pope will refuse to recognize
the claim of king Humibert to be
temporal ruler of Italy.
Thero are three ways of electing
a pope'-by acclamation, by compro
mise or by ballot. The former is
also called the method by adoration,
and oceurs. when, after unsuccessful
balloting, or without a ballot, a
spnntaneous cry comeIs from all
tihe cardinals for one man, or all by
one impulse kneel before him*
The election by compromise takes
place by a delegwtion of powers by
the cardinals to several of their
number'who are thus charp~ed with
the choice of the pontiff' There
miust be-at least twvo of these dele
gates. They deliberate in a separate
apartment,. after taking an cath to
vote according to their conscience
They mnust give their decision in
writing. This formality accomn.
lis1he5l, the election is valid and the
pope is oleeted1. None of these
delegates enn vote for himself, but
if they aro.moroe-than two, they can
choose the pope from among their
number.. The usual method is by
tedious formnaltes. Eaah cardinal
ballost acoeaied te. The ot.
divided into fi've compartalents,. the
second and foorth being white. The
first contains the words "ag card"
(I cardinal); thed eoond contains
his name i the third, 'the pei-son
I oted for, and the fifth, a cabalistie
)e identified. After sealing, the 14
)ardinal places the ballots in the r
shalice. After all have voted three
bellers proceed to count the votes
ifter counting them in a second r
-halice. After reading, they are n
strung and placed in a third chalico. b
If two-thirds are recorded for any ,
,andidate, a second sarutiny and ]
verification take place, the ballots I
tro burned and the result is an- t
riounced. If no result is reached,
the electors proceed to the "acces
sion," which moans that each cardi- c
aal may announce his second choice. C
[f the first ballot and the accession
'ogether give any candidate two
thirds, he is elected. If not, a new
aallot is necessary. The -conclave t
votes twice a day, until a
result is reached.
A Alight indication to outsiders <
serves to convey an idea of what is oc
-urring in the conclave. The voting
papers are burned on a straw firein an
iron chimney established behind the c
iltar. The thick smoke escapes by
i tube issuing from a wall to the
left of the Grand Lodge of the
Bonedictines. If the vote has given
! result, the voting papers are burned
esewhero, and the usual pipe re
uains smokeless. It is by this
trifling circumstance that thu people
assombled outside at the hours
whlen the vote usually terminates
know when there is a new pope.
If the chimney smokes, the game
has to be played over again. On
the present occasion, three times
the smoke ascended from the chim- I
noy. At the last time, just as the
peopl(e were dispersing, it was an.
nounced that Pocci had been chosen.
It was at first thought the final
result had been secured by adora
tion, but it is now claimed that he
received a two-thirds vote, and
that Cardinal Bilio having declined
to be a candidate, his partisans, I
numbering nine cardinals, gave their I
votes to Cardinal Pecci ; that when I
the votes were counted, all the car
dinals knelt at the feet of the pope, I
and that this act wts miseonstrued
as an election by adoration.
The new pope was crowned pri
Sunday, undcr i.he title of Leo XIII.

JEditors NEWS AND HERIAb: Sev.
eral weeks ago a p)etition, signed
by a large number of citizens, was
handed to the Town Council setting
forth that the running at large,
within town Jimits, of cows and
other stock, wvas a nuisance, and
asking at their hands such legisla
tion as would prevent the same.
Rtumor had it that the prayer of
the people had been heard and
granted. As yet the Official Lamp
Post has failed to confirm Rumor.
As there are only two ways by which
the 1peopl1 are informed of the
doings of their Stewards (R. and
the favorite 0. L. P.), and as one is
not reliable and the other not
generally known, I ask you to make i
inquir~y and find out whose fault it
is, if such a law has been passed,i
that old Brin die still enjoys her "

Restoring Pensions--A Demorat Seat- I
ed fro'n Louisiana in the House.
[Cerrespondoece of 'rue NEwS AN HIEREAD.) (
\VAsHINoTON, Feb. 22.-Two bills
of interest to soldiers have been up'
dluring the past week. One, which i
passed the Senate and will proba~bly i
pass the House, restores to the
pousion rolls those 1812 and other
soldiers- who were dropped at the
commencement of the civil war.
It also gives pensions to 1812 i
soldiers who served fourteen dlays, I
the present requliremecnt being sixty C
days, and to the widows of such~ C
soldier~s if they were married prior C
to 1850. The bfll- is that giving a
pension of $8 per month to all I
soldiers of the Mexican war.. It is a
believed this bill, also,. will pass,
though it meets with opposition i
from those extvremie Radicals who01
will not vote money if any of it is
to go to the South. Mr., Powers, t
