A DEMOCRAT OF '76.

South CAROLINA N Fl RIGHT OF
sUFFRAGE.-Ne find in the n. York
Morning Post an article that, with
the best disposition towards this State,
CO tains, nevertheless. an important
error. We quote the commence
ment OF It.
"MR. CALHOUN AND THE RIGHT OF
SUFERAGE.-The Advocate. 4 paper
published at Pitlsburc, atiirmS that
Mr.. Van Buren, was, when IN the
New York Convention, opposed 10
an extension of the right ot suffrage,
and adds that Mr.. Calhoun thanked
God that a property qualification ex-
listed in South Carolina
The Pittsburg Morning Post re-
flutes this declaration in so far as Nh.
Van BLrcn Is concerned. and calls
our special attention to what the Ad-
ocate says respecting Mr.. Calhoun.
at is The first time we eve heard
of MIR. Calhoun'S uttering such a SEN
timeut as is attributed TO him by tie
Pittsburg Advocate, and if lie ever
did utter it. he must have thanked
his God for rery Httle.'"
The Post then quotes the article
from the original constitution of s.
Carolina. regulating the right Of sui
trage and requiring either a small
freehold qualification, or a residence
of two years and the payment of tax
es, and justly remarks that consider
ing the time of lis adoption. i, was
one of the most liberal Of the State
Constitutions.
That article was, however. long
since so modified as to abolish entire
~ the property qualification and
make suffrage universal. The quail
fcatIons now are, lst. citizenship Of
the U. States-2nd. two years resi-
dence IN the ~State-3d, SIX months
residence in the election diStrict-or.
inStead Of this last, the possession Of
a trIfing property qualification.
Members Of the Legislature are re-
CURED 10 possess a small freehold
qualification. and this probably has
led TO the mistake. The expression
attributed to Mr.. CALHOUN. is of
course n mere observation-disclosures

their operations were suspended for

that, had it not been for the individu-

This subject is one intimately con-

SECRET EXPEDITION AGAINST IExAs.
BY Il gentleman who came passen-
ger in the steam ship Neptune. from
Havana, We have been kindly favor
ed with the following Interesting par
~ticulars from Vera Cruz, which as
SURF us of the safety Of the British
mail steamer Solway, for whose fate
considerable soliciiude was felt here
last week. Tue Solway arrived at
Tampico on the 29th of September.
where she landed two officers of the
British Navy. Immediately after her
arrival, a heavy swell came on. with
a strong north east wind, which kept
her beating off and on until the 5th OF
October. during which time the sea
ran high almost constantIv.-She left
Tampeco at - o'clock. NJ, on the
4th, and reached the harbor of Vera
Cruz at 10 o'clock, on the 9th; was
not allowed 70 enter, but kept outside
the reef, until the Mexican steamer
"Crty of Dublin" came out with the
mails in charge of the British Consul.
Left the habor of Vera Cruz at -
O'Clock on the 9th for Havana, where
she arrived on the 10th.
The habor OF Vera Cruz was en-
tirely closed. No foreign vessels
were allowed TO enter or depart, IN
I'll the l7th, rs the government was
engaged in fitting out a secret expe-
dition, the destination Of which was
unknown. 1t was believed, however,
TO be intended for the invasion of
Texas by sea iflhis supposiiion be
correct, which we see no reason to
doubt, we shall soon hear of stirring
events in our vicinity, as Galveston
will dnubtless be the first point of at,
tack.
In addition to the foregoing, we
give the following items extracted
from Havana papers, received yester.
day by the Neptune:
From tho Correspondence ofthe Noticioso.

On the 9lst. inst $500 men left

OHIo.-Returns from all the counties
in Ohio give Shannon a majority of3,322
owe Corwin. The Columbus Journal
says: From the official statements of the
vote in the several counties, for Cover
nor, senators and representatives, which
we are publishing, it will be seen that
the aggregate vote in the State, is falling
6flargely since 1910. Corwin sustains
nearly the whole loss, the locofocos hav-
ing polled their full strength. The
causes of our defeat are transparent
enough. We have failed, after all our
exertions, to call out the entire Wing
party"
Why is this-when the same old coon,
together with all the paraphernalia ofthe
campaign Of 1910, have been brought TO
bear inthe Tresentelection, and yet the
people wont come. Perhaps a portion
of the honorable members of the Ohio
Legislature can explain the cause of this
mysterious defeat.

NAVIGATION OF THE MlssIsslpPI-Itis
a notorious fact, that while other por-
tons of the country have received
from Congress large appropriations.
for the repairs of habors, etc, little
attention has been paid to the waters
Of the South West. The interests of
the Valley of the Mississippi have
been deemed of secondary impor-
lance, and many will remember the
dlfiulties public spirited citizens had
TO contend with in other wears, in
bringing the councils Of the nation to
the proper understanding cfa subject
of vital importance to millions. The
contumelious tone assumed by certain
members can neyerbc forgotten. The
language of the Roanoke Hotspur.
when he declared that "the rivers of
the West are dry one half of the wear
and frozen the other," coupled with
other equally ridiculous assertions,
found n response in the minds ofmen
who looked entirely to the interests
of their constituency, and it was only
after years Of patient appeals 10 the
Of Congress, that money was
voted for the removal of the serious
impediments TO the navigation of RI

Cheese Making.

Tie plan generally proposed by
your C respondents is to strain the
mix in tubs owe night, and warm it
IN The morning, carefully stirring the
cream.
1t seems TO me evident that, when
The cream Is ono separated from the
milk. 1t can never lie so thoroughly
incorporated with it again, as TO set
the milk as soon as taken from the
COW.
Oar method is this: Immediately
after the cows are mllked, and the
quicker the operation is performed
the better. we strain it into the cheese
tub and put in the rennet--as the milk
when it comes from the cow, is pre-
clSely The right temperature 10 set. If
the rennet is good and properly pre-.
pared, a large table spoonful is suffi-
Glen, for a pail !nlI of milk. The tub
should be covered with a cloth. and
allowed 10 stand undisturbed-in
ABOUT forty minutes it will coagulate.
1t is then carefully cut. the tub again
covered and left to stand till morning.
When the tub is wanted for the morn
mg'S milk, the nights curd is dipped
into the cheese basket, or cheese
sink. 10 drain. and the mornings milk
strained into the same tub. The rem
net Is then put in. going through the
same process as with the nights milk.
When sufficiently drained. the two
curds are ..ady TO be put together,
scaldei and saited, according to the
discretion of the maker.
Those who have had the least ex.
p%erlence IN the management of milk
must know that warming it. after it
has once cooled, gives it a tendency
to sour the quicker. ANY person who
will take the trouble to try the expe-
rIment will find that curd made from
the milk, warm from the COW, will
keep sweet much longer than that
which has been warmed over the fire;
and besides this, it saves the time and
trouble of skimming and WARMING
Nothing will make a good cheese
maker assume a belligerent attitude
so quick as TO see the skinner flour
lshed over the cheese tub.
From a long experience in a mod.
ern-slzed dairy. | am persuaded that
IN no way Il so much, or cheese Of
81 good quality be made. as to set
milk while warm from the COW.

electromagnetic telegraph, to apply
the electric spark at the concerted
signal; the first signal gun announced
the hour, and at the second the spark
was sent-instantaneousIy the quiet
brig was dashed to atoms. The first
notice of destruction the spectator
has, is a tremendous ~upheaval of a
large volume of water, so feet in
height, bearing with it the fatal craft,
with such resistless force, thatit seems
to drop into fragments like the dirt
of a rotten log. The destruction is
truly complete, and the fragments so
scattered they are scarcely neigh
