Hon. B. Grstz Brown, on the anniversary

points that may not he familiar to our read

yides that, !" The House OF Representatives
shall be composed Of members chosen every
second year BY the teo11e Of the several States !;
and the electors in each State shall hare tho
qualifications requisite for electors OF the most
numerous brunch Of the Slate Legislaturc."
Nov, while each State has the right to fix the
"quaIitlcations" OF electors, 1t has no right
to prevent the members Of the Federal House
Of Representatives from being chosen "by the
people," /. C., BY the whole people, for moth
5ng is really "the people's except the whole
people. The "quallfications which the
Legislature Of each State can fir must be
those which apply To the whole people, and
not to any particular race, NATIONALITY or COL
or-as for Instance, scx, age, property, or the
payment of tax
Toascertaln who is meant by "the people,"

The CIRCULATION OF THE AIR.-Winds are
put in horizontal motion. Their influence is
most beneficial. Were there no winds the
vapors that rise from the sea would be returned
back from the clouds 10 showers, to the very
same places in the sea whence they came. On
an earth where no winds blew. We should
neither have green pastures. still waters, nor
running brooks. Air is more liable TO pollution
and corruption than water stagnation is ruin
Gus to it. Ceaseless motion has been given to
it; perpetual circulation and intermngling Of
its ingredients are required of it. The necessity
of ventilation in cur buildings, the wholesome
influences of fresh air are universally acknowl-
edged. The cry in cities for fresh air from the
mountains or the sea, reminds US continually Of
the life giving virtues of circulation. 1t has
been well said that the girdling, encircing air
makes the whole world akin.
1t is the laboratory for the whole animal
and vegetable kingdoms. The carbonic acid
with which our breathing fills the air to day,
to morrow seeks its way round the world, the
date trees that grow round The falls of the \ lie
will drink 1t by their leaves; the cedar Of
Lebanon will take OF it to add TO their stature.
The oxygen we are breathing now was distilled
for US, some short time ago, by the magnolias
of the Susquehanna, and the great trees that
skirt the Amazon. BY the winds superfiuous
water is carried off aud removed to other lands
where its agency is required or it is treasured
up as the material of clouds in the crystal vault
OF the armament, the source, when the fitting
season arrives, of the showers which provide
for the wants of the year.

THE HUMILIATIoN OF SoUTH CAROLINA
The capture of Columbia, the capital of South
Carolina, and the evacuation of Charleston,
occurred on the anniversary of the Inauguration
of jeff Davis as President Of the rebel Confed-
eracy. the 18th of February. 1t is not quite
four wears since the rebel Convention of that
State declared its union with "the States of
North America dissolved, and that "the State
of South Carolina has resumed her position
among the nations of the world" And when
Fort Sumter surrendered, Gov Pickens SAID
il a speech to the CharlestoDlans
I'VE have humbied the flag of the United
States, and, as long as l have the honor to
preside as your chief magistrate, SO help me
God there is no power on this earth that shall
lower from that fortress those flags, unless they
be lowered and trailed in a sea OF blood"
Governor Pickens never intended that his
veins should help to swell that "sea of blood. .
Before Charleston fell, be, coward-lIke, ran
away in the night, aad saved every drop OF his
precious blood.

SToEY WITH MoRAL.-A conversation
between a New York commission merchant
and a Southern planter took place recently.
which is worth narrating as throwing some
light upon the disputed question whether the
Southern negroes are capable OF supporting
themselves in a state of freedom. The planter
complained of the hard times and OF the injus'
tice and wrong of being forced to pay bis
former slaves hundred and fifty dollars
month wages. Our New Yorker, suspecting
that the KentUckiau was drawing the long bow
and exaggerating his grievances, quietly re-
marked that white labor could be obtained IN
plenty for forty dollars a month. Very true"
replied the planter ''but they don't know how
to strip tobacco. Few white men can strip
hundred pounds Of tobacco in day, while my
slaves, who are used to the business, can strip
from seven to eight hundred pounds day, and
do it better, too. than white men, Then
REPLIED the merchant, "the negroes are able to
support themselves in a state OF freedom, aren't
they?' "Ob, as for that" says the Kentuckian,
they supported US. and there is no fear about
their ability to support themselves"

The London Times on American Affairs

The Times has lately speculated extensively
on American sffairs-always taking sides With
the South But lis Wild theories and symps-
ihies are How nearly at an end. and the treason
which il has encouraged is soon TO be buried
in q certain last diich." HouSeless. homeless,
and outcasis from their own country, the Lon
don Times can now invite 10 its own shores the
leaders, aiders and abettors Of the Southern
Confeieracy. The following extract from an
article in the Times of late dals is rich. rare
and spicy-the concluding sentence, especially,
is quite refreshing just about this time, when
the nation is rejoicing over the fall of Rich
moud When the latest news gets over the
big pond, it will doubtless have about the same
effect on the Times as throwing salt upon a
snail has. But here Is what the Times says
about the situation" when it last heard from
America. Read it and laugh:
The idol of American worship embraces
continent-nay, a world; it includes all the
future; ii claims to subjugate the entire realm
of human thought. 1t is treason and heresy TO
slop short Of the whole visible and speculative
sphere. The world is to be regenerated on
this new model the New W orld then the Old.
Accordingly, the present holders of this august
destiny can give up nothing. Itwss decapta-
tion IN China to doubt that the Emperor was
brother of the Sun and Moon, and it is political
death in America to doubt that all nations will
receive the law from Washington. annex them
selves to its mild realm, and bow to its easy
yoke In the Old w orld-whch has been
battled, aud buiieted, and beaten, by hard facts,
if not INTO wisdom, at least into submission
when a conqueror is defeated he gives up his
conquest when State cannot fight the world,
it saws so and gives in. BY the same rule,
when private man has played for great stakes
and lost, he sits down and makes the best OF II.
He knows that it is possible TO exist without a
large fortune, without q high position, without
dignfed employment without many friends,
without an acre of land without even a house
to call his own. He coDgratuates bimsef if
he has not lost his honor and sunk into caste
below his habits and natural instincts. The
most overwhelming and oversteppng ambition
may end by accommodating Itself TO q very
humble place, and finding happiness in self
respect and self content. There are few, indeed,
that have not had to surrender good eeal Of
their early day dreams. The American cannot
do this. The dream, which Others on this side
the tlautic can better describe in all its grand
eur, is too strong a reality for him. Having
worshped it and obeyed it-having laid on lis
shrine all he held dear, he is now its humble
slave He must do as it bids him, and go
through blood and flames to enforce its dire
behests. No partial sacrifice will appease it.
All or nothing he asked for; all or nothing it
demands at bis hands. So long as that idol
stands on its pedestal, the war must rage on;
and We see no symptom OF its early overthrow.

OuR recent successes have bad the effect OF
changing English opinion somewhat. The
London Court Journal, which. ever since the
commencement of our war, has been throwing
cold water ca our cause in spirit OF boastlng,
bullying and bravado, now admits that "a war
between England and America would be one
OF the direst calamities of civilization" In the
same humble spirit does it argue on the same
subject, in another article. Speaking OF the
Atlantic Gable. the editor says: There are
few that will not wish hearty God speed
to the undertaking, and hope that 1t may De
the means of closer and more friendly and
profitable alliance with America for the future,
and war quiobiDg and bad blood be forgotten
as things Of the past"
