attended churches in the city, having large con-
gregation of both blacks and whites, and having
been presided over at different times by some OF
the most ooquents Methodist diyines in the State.
Returning to Meeting street, walk of half square
will bring you to the site of the
=. THEATRE.
Until recently the steps gtood to mark the spot
but about fortnight ago they we're taken away
and high board fence Was erected, which, covered
with the hugo illustrated posters Of DAN CAsrE1r
LOS Circus, now hides thesite Of the Theatre We
went occasionally to see plays in our early YOUTH
and even now we can call to mind the broad grin
Of Manager B1oAR when lie had just done bis fun
niest in some comic part, and the sweet smile OF
his little wife when she had donned the pantaloons
I'd become the page Of Q queen. The greatest
sensation that we ever saw in the, Theatre was
occasioned by Mrs. JULIA DEAN HAYNp, not on
account of her acting, though that Waa generally
acknowledged TO be good ,bnt rather On account of
her having married Dr.. HAfAH q member of o99e
Of the best families Of Charleston. The best
actress We ever aaw perform on its boards , was
Mrs. ANNA Cora MowArT, whom we saw in the
leading characters Of tho s'Gamester" and Romeo
and Juliet. The very best acting that we, ever
Witnessed there was by EDWIN Booth the younger,
as sMchelieu;" and the heartiest laugh wo ever
had was at GEORGE MARSH, -as M. ''Toodles."
The worst acting we cannot pretend to recoect for
for it was, alas! Goo common. But we rogret
81 merely that the Charleston Theatre, with it's
b rIant stars and it's dull stock companies, is no
moro, and we regret still more deeply that there
seoms at present no chance Of another taking its
place. ssz-...-.==-z s.zs:=,z5
Here ended our Day Amid the Rnins, andwe
have done with that gloomy subject for the pres
ent. Thoro are, doubtless, other ruins worthy OF
mention, and many things that might ayo boon
said about those which we have mentioned that VIC
have left unsaid; but we are not writing q book on
the subject Of the ruins, but only transient arti-
de to while away passing houlS and We bog oil
parties to judge us by what we have done, and
What VIC intended 70 do and not by our shortcom--
ings Of what We might have done il ne had been as
wise as SOLOMON, as learned as BACON, and aB
smart as one Of HAHpER's artists.

THE REMEDY Is IN EVERY MANS MOUTH.
A correspondent of the National Inteui-
gencer, whom FoRNEY pronounces one of the
Presidents satraps and dependents, uses
the following bold language:
GLOW long shall the Executive abstain from
the use of theshigh and almost undeveioped
powers designed by constitutional require
mcnts to preserve TO the people their govern
ment and their libertics?"
FoRxEY, the tone of whose paper mas
been considerably moderated recently, and
who does not like the idea of suppresslng
the Chronicle, breaks ont into terrible
rage. He says:
"This slave Is doubtless emboldened by

Written Cons itutions.

In his reply to the address OF 'ehera'
GORDON GRANGER, the President mauc TIC
following noteworthy remark:
~ think we are now at the most tmpor.an ..
crisis of the country shfstory, Wnen We. w
aa,ar,,i,a and fix a substantial and enduring
49,. On which our institutions are TO rest
We must return 20 constitutional limits, esu
hI;,hing the great fact that ours IL go, e.,
ment of limited powers. with wraNn ~"
State, and that these limitations ana poun !,
ries must be observed and strict'y 'esp''''" /
free government Is TO exist
This remark shows that the President
concurs in the opnion-which, indeed,
every observing man must hold-that the
Constitution has been dead letter for the
last five years. If free government is to
exist, says he, we must respect constitu-
tons, both national and State, and "ret,un
to constitutional limits" This is consist
ent with what we have taught in these CO.
lumns. Either the Constitution must be
respected, or we must have President
who will exercise all the unconstitutional
powers employed by the last President,
and exercise them for the protection of
those rights of person and Of property for
which the Radicals have no respect. Mr..
Johnson, however, has no reason to sup
pose that the Radicals will take his advice.
So far from observing and respecting the
rights which the southern people are emit
tied to under the Constitution, they pro-
pose to deprive them of all such rights.
They would have Constitution which
should be binding upon us, at the same
time that they would treat its provisions
with contempt.
If the Radicals succeed in the fall cleo
tions in New York and Pennsylvania, then
it may be safely declared that "free go
yernment has ceased TO exist" And If we
are to have a despotiSm, we much prefer
one despot To many masters. We do not
know that Mr.. JOHNSON contemplatcs re-
sisting Radical measures by the strong arm
of Executive power but it is clear from
his speech that he fully appreciates the
true condition of the country, and knows
that it would be mockcry to call this a
"frcc government" if Radical contempt
for constitutional obligations shall con-
tinue to he approved by the people at the
ballot-boX.
The unwrittcn law of England, which
she calls her constitution, has proved sut-
ficient for the protection of her people in
all their rights; while the written consti-
tutions of America have proved to be mere

Virginia Slandered.

In speaking of the correspondence be-
tween Messrs. TYLER and POLLARD, the
Washington Chronicle says:
"No the breed of noble men in Virginia
has run out, and a race of paltry Hotspurs has
taken their places, VIII ose highest ambition
seems 10 be TO gain notoriety 10y outraging all
law, divine and human, as well as all social
propriety. The sfaveholding civilization of
Virginia seems TO be worn ont, and the people
must build anew on the basis of freedom and
Christianity"

The Trial of Mr.. Davis.

1t seems after all to be doubtful whether
Mr.. DAVIS can be tried this fall. The new
law in regard to the Circuit Courts of the
United States reduces the number to nine,
but neither makes nor authorizes any
allotment Of the chief justice or any of
the associate justices to any particular cir
cult. Therefore, neither Mr.. CHASE nor
any of the associate justices can be said to
be authorized by law to hold circuit
court in Richmond. The fourth Monday
in November is the day fixed by law for
the sitting of the Circuit Court here. But
judge UNDERWOOD must sit by himself, as
he did last June, unless Mr.. CHASE, or one
Of the associate justices, shall take the
responsibility of coming upon this circuit.
The law authorizes special terms to be
called by the justice assigned to the cir
cult. But as none is assigned, no special
term can be held. We condcnsc these
facts from an article in the New York
Tribome.
After writin. the above We received
Yesterdays National HteiliJencer, which
SAYS !:
ave learn that Samuel Tyler, Esq, of Ere
derrick, Md. one of the counsel of Mr.. Jeffer
son Davis, had yesterday an interview with
the Attorney General in regard TO the trial of
Mr. Davis. We have not heard what the re-
suit of the interview WAS, but suppose that IL
was in accordance with what we learn from
the best source of information, that Judge
Underwood and the Chief Justice have come
TO the conclusion that because of the legisla-
ton of the last Congress the adjourned court
cannot be held next month Consequently
the case of Mr. Davis, with all others, must
be postponed TO future day"
