CHARLESTON PRICEs.-I'he papers
everywhere all over the country are
speaking ont in plain terms against
the Charleston hotel keepers. in
charging five dollars a day ior board
during the sitting Of the Charleston
Convention. We think it perfectly
outrageous, worthy only Of the wood
en- nutmeg makers, or the fabricators
of white piue hsmSin the down east
country. Men don't like to be the
victims Of extortion. They wonld
rather throw ten dollars in The fire.
Of their ewa accord, than pay one
dime by way Of appeasipg the de-
mon Of exterion. We feel bumiiia-
ted that the grand old city Of Charles
ten should be the scene Of such a
diseraceful attempt TO obtain money
at the expense OF high toned mo-
rality. As much as We abuse Gin
cinnati and the Cincinnatians, they
were never guilty Of playing such a
role as the above. There is already
some talk of moving the Convention
elsewhere, and under the circamstan-
ces it would be a good idea, at least
it would operate as singing rebuke
to the greedy 5Cormorauts who ogn
and control the Charleston hotels.
at ordinary rates the keepers OF
boarding houses in Chayieston would
be able to Gil every nook and cerDer
of their capacious pockets with the
best Of money. and this ought to
satisfy them. But when the rates
which govern living at hotel are
doubled and doubled again, the thing
bears an ugly aspect, giving TO those
who make such charges the. appear
ance Of grasping mlercenary people.
