"The Blufiou BOys."

The 4th of July toasts in South Carolina are
generally indicative of desire for secession, but
their weight as evidences of public sentiment is
exceedingly questionable. We notice that the
"Buffton boys" maintain their old character oil
being the most fiery of all the fire-eaters. The
only sentiment in their whole batch that smacks
of sober reason is one by DR.. James l.. Pope to
"The Hon. Langdon Cheves-the true patriot and
wise counsellor"
We give some specimens of the regular and vo.
lunteer sentiments

The Orator responded to this compliment in brief
and pertinent manner, petging his all to sustain the

following sentiment:

The Mcdonald men of Georgia, like the Quit
man men of Mississippi, are sorely troubled lest
their candidate shall be convicted of the sin of
disunionism. Mr.. r. Barnwe Rhett, of South
Carolina. has recently thrown bombshell into
their camp by identifying Gov. Mcdonald with his
own party of Secessionists. The following article
from the Macon Messenger will show the use to
which Mr.. Rhett's impolitic declarations are very
properly put in Georgia:
Mr.. RHETTs BUeLE SPEEcH.--The friends OF Judge
Mcdonald, understand, deny that Mr.. Rhett's
speech at Fort Moure affords any evidence OF the DIS

peared in the Charleston Courier. We give below the
condensed notice, copied from that paper, which IS
published under Mr. Rhetrs own eye

Cheap Trips In Europc.

TO THE EDITOR or THE HERALD.
While the most liberal arrangements have been
made all over the continent Of Europe, to convey
passengers to and from London the coming season,
at great reduction on the usual fare, nothing has
as yet been done by the propretors Of the several
ines Of packets that ply between here and Liverpool
TO induce the public TO make trip TO the great
Worlds Fair. If one line Of packets should adver-
tise to take passengers to Liverpool and back for
500, the several other lines would follow their ex-
ample; and instead Of leaving port with perhaps
twenty passengers, they would probably have as
many as they could accommodate. Seventy five
passengers, at $l00 each, would yield more profit
than half that number at $50 cach-the present
fare for both ways. BY getting passage to Liver
pool and back for sl00, person might enjoy plea
can't trip to London and Paris for the sum OF 500
Cheap fares the means Of increasing public
travel an hundred fold and by holding out great
inducements TO visit London this present year. the
propretors Of the several lines Of packet ships would
find their benefit by their libcrality. BKLzoSI.

LAWYERS IN THE UNITED STATEs.-Thc people
Of the United States must be fond of law, notwith-
standing it is SO expensive, for we see by Living
ston's Lac Magazine, that there are twcnty-one
thousand nine hundred and seventy nine lawyers in
the country, or about one to every eleven hundred
inhabitants, male and female, oldand young, black
and white, Jew and Gentle, bond and free. Phila-
delphia county has four hundred aud forty-seven
lawyers, or nearly one to every nine hundred per-
sons. Pennsylvania has over seventeen hundred.
II our own State is favored with a large amount,
New York is more than douby blessed, for it haze
over four thousand three hundred lawyers. Mr..
Livingston estimates that each lawyer in practice
has an average income Of $500. This would mako
the aggregate cost Of law in the Uuited States
reach the enormous sum Of nearly thirty-threc mil
lions Of dollars. If this is not paying too dear for
the whistle, generally all the client gets after the
fees are fobbed, we know not what it is. A years
war GOULD scarcely cost more money, and probably
not prove more ruinous to private fortune few
years back and the expense of the general Ego
,ernment, with all its various officers and c.ancrs
was not so great AS this amount.--Pat'adaphia
