A MATTER FOR SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
There is honest human nature in South Caro-
lima, and the institution of slavery does not
appear to be entirely satisfied with all its oper-
atoms. A correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury fears that "many evils" in that city
are secretly undermining our institutions"
and he demands reform for, unless these evils
are speedily crushed" the good people of
that city may suddenly find themselves left to
the tender mercies of something more terrible
than what was threatened the other day at
Harper's Ferry. He makes the following spe-
cifcations which we commend to the careful
study of our readers =
"What explanation can our municipal au
thorities give for the crowds of black children
who throng our streets every morning on their
way to school, with satchel well filed with
books Of the crowds who congregate at
nightly fsittings up!' OF the negro visitors TO
Northern cities and watering places who 20
and come regularly every season under the
very eye OF the tdV, and who return, possibly
with the personal acquaintance of the black
douglas and the white GREELEY! OF the
crowds who flock to Zion decked off in silks,
satins and feathers, in the face of and in open
violation of those laws which were enacted by
the light of bitter erperialce2
Well may we exclaim, where are we drift

'nuptlals OF blacks are celebrated in a spacious

Of a score and ten in numbers are transported

lantnrophy in gay cquipages-and where hun-
dreds OF others, robed in extravagant costumes,
witness, possibly, with eye.glass in hand, this
the dawn of a new fashioned sentiment. and
where harangues are delivered on rights 2"
Too much kindness to slaves is growing IN
among the people Of Charleston. Forgetting
what is due to the slave system, some of them
cherish humane and kindly sentiments toward
their slaves, allow colored children to be
taught something, permit their human chattels
to attend church, and to go well dressed,
which the law forbids, and, it appears that
somebody's favorite slave in Charleston. has

STATE LUNATIC HosPITAL.-The Trustees
of the State Lunatic Hospital in this city are
completing some much needed improvements
in the building under their charge They
have commenced the erection of new wing
100 feet long and three stories high, running
east of the main building, in lieu of the wing
of inadequate dimensions formerly standing
there, for the better accommodation of the
steam-cooking apparatus for the whole estab
lishment, which is to be located in the base
ment or lower story. The upper stories will
afford much more ample room for the chapel
to be located there than has therefore, existed.
There are now about 800 patients in this
institution. The manner in which every ar
rangement for their comfort and benefit is car
ried out, by the faithful and efficient Supern-
tendent, DR.. Bemis is worthy of all praise.
No one can go over the range of apart.

reigns throughout. The unfortunate persons
whom their friends find it necessary to send
there cannot but feel grateful themselves that
they are so well cared for, and that everything
around them is rendered as pleasant and agree.

HORRIBLE CONSPIRACY IN HAYTI.-Timo-
leon Savon, recently arrested in Hayti, and
held for trial, confesses that the object of the
conspirators in shooting the Presidents daugh
ter was to attract the President to the spot and
then murder him too He gave the names of
the parties who provided him with arms.
One of these, Caniner Chocotte by name, led
him stealthily to where he could see Geffrard's
daughter, and whispered to him, "You do the
little execution-I will do the great one :"
thus intimating that Savon should shoot the
PRESIDENTS daughter, and he (Chocotte) would
shoot the President himself. Savon was about
to refuse to commit the crime, when Chocotte
held poignard over his breast and threatened
him with instant death. Seized with terror
Sayon fired, threw down his gum ran away,
and knew no more of the matter until he was
arrested.

THE Norwich Courier gives the annexed
information in regard to the Norwich and
Worcester Railroad:
'"The receipts of the Norwich and Worces-
ter Railroad for several months past, have
shown great increase as compared with
corresponding period of previous years, while
the expenses have fallen below any period pre-
vious to the present administration. BY an
examination Of the earnings, the increase is
shown to have been derived from that classifi-
cation of receipts termed local, as the through
business to Boston has not been larger than
heretofore. This fact is quite important to
the stockholders, for it is well known that such
is the competition for foreign business in all
railroad management that the through tariff
bears no proportion whatever to the local
charges, and in many instances result in abso-
lutte loss to the road, while the home traffic is
always remunerative. While the present
management have not neglected any distant
paying business, they have tostered that on
the line Of the road, and by extending tacli-
ties and accommodations, have recovered a
large amount of legitimate business which had
been directed to other channels. am glad to
learn that after having placed the road in con-
dition to transact all the business which is of
tered they are about to increase their facilities
on the Sound, by an arrangement with the
present steamboat company Ior the Dullulng
of four large propellers, similar to those so
successful at Providence, and new passen-
ger boat, which shall be fit companion for
the Commonwealth. This will afford greater
dispatch to the freight business without over
loading the boats with freight, and thus render
the line a first class one. When this shall be
done the receipts of the Norwich and Worces-
ter may be increased to $350,000 annually,
without any proportionate increase of expens-
cs and it will become a firstcIass investment,
paying dividends regularly"
