A HINT ERoM SISTER CITY.-The Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel of Tuesday, gives the fol-
lowing advice, which it would be well for our bus-
ness men to adopt, and, by advertising, show that
there is life in the old land yet:
On and after yesterday (Monday) freight and
passenger train will leave this city for Charleston
at PM, and Charleston at 7:90 Pm. This will
be great convenience to the business and travel
ing public and should encourage both trade and
travel between both cities. Heretofore it took
three days to visit and transact the most trivial
business in either city, but now, fortunately, this
great throw-back is removed and both cites are
this connection, We suggest to the mercantile
community Of Charleston the virtue Of printers
ink. Their slight is hid under q bushel, and that
bushel is the neglect to advertise Let the peo-
pie of the interior know the inducements and ad-
vantages Of Charleston.

Marriage in the Cars.

The monotony of railroad travelling
was somewhat relieved to those on board
a Grand Trunk train bound east on Mon
day. by q romantic episode, namely, q
wedding on the cars The preliminary
circumstances are similar to those of
thousands Of other matrimonial adven-
lures, in which stern and unrelenting
parents forbid the nuptials, and SO drive
the love-stricken pair to the necessity OF
eloping. The parties to the present af-
fair reside four miles back of Colborne,
a small station on the Grand Trunk, be-
tween Port Hope and Kingston, and to
which place the runaway pair made their
way on Sunday night with the inten-
ton of being married. The marriage
license was, however, only received
when they we're in pursuit; and being
pushed for resource to escape, until
the nuptial knot was tied, went on
board the passing train, taking up q
clergyman on the way, who, being aware
of strong attachment on the part of the
pair, sealed their bliss. The station was
barely left, when Mr.. Hunt, conductor
of the train, was informed by the man Of
black cloth that il was his intention TO
celebrate a marriage on board, and
pointing to the couple to be made one,
asked his assistance in obtaining for them
quarters together on the crowded train.
The gentlemsnly conductor acquesced,
and the ceremony was performed while
the train dashed along at the rate of forty
miles an hour, the passengers forming a
bridal party Of no small dimensions, and
certainly novel appearance ! In short
time the train reached Belleville, where
the happy couple left, amid the hearty
congratulations OF their numerous newly
made acquaintances-LondOn { c. ~

The Disframchisment Of
"a. 900 Soldiers.

SOME Republican journals have I'M
dertakeu to make light Of the CirOumI
stance that the pending Constitutional
Amendment in the event of its adoption,
will disfranchise from sixteen to twenty
thousand soldiers who did faithful SER
vice until the actual close Of the War;
It won't do. The Cincinnati CONNER
cial finds, upon investigation, that the
Amendment will disfranchise about "a
900 White soldiers. This, it thinks,
friendly as it is to Negro Suffrage will not
d%o-thinks it will not do to disfranchise
$4,000 Whites that about 6,172 Negroes
may be made voters. More than this /:
it thinks it will be incumbent on the
Republican State Convention to repudi.
ate the Amendment, but at the Same
time declare in favor of Negro Suffrage.
A beautiful fix the Republican party has
got Itself into by reason of this amend.
ment. 1t seals the fate Of the Republi-
can party in Ohio.

TAE LATEST FAsHIONs.-Since tht
Invention and successful introduction o.
the Celebrated Duplex Elliptic Tor doub.
lei Spring Skirt, by J. W. Bradley Of
New York, the ladies throughout the
country have given up the idea of dis
carding the fashion Of wearing hoop
skirts on account Of the peculiar and
graceful manner in which the Duplex
Skirts adapt themselves to every exigency
and emergency. So generally acceptable
have these Skirts become that the ladies
regard them as a special favOrite, in view
of the superior lexibility, lightness and
durability combined in their Manufacture.
They also consider them a far more eco.
nomical and Comfortable Hoop Skirt
than ever has or can be made for Crowd
ed Assemblies, for the Promenade or
House Dress. Any lady after wearing
one Of these Skirts, will never afterwards
willingly dispense with their use. Long
experience in the manufacture Of Hoop
Skirts, has proven to the proprietors Of
this invention, that Single Springs will
always retain that stiff, unyielding and
buhgling style which has aver character.
Used them, whereas the Double Spring
Hoop or the Duplex Elliptic, will be
found free from these objections. Not
withstanding the ability Of the Manu-.
facturers, Messrs. Vests, Bradley and
Cary, to turn out over six thousand Skirts.
per day from their large Manufactures in
New York, they feel obliged to request
all merchants ordering the Duplex Ellip-
tic Skirts, to send their orders a few days
before they are wanted, it possible, as
they are moot constantly oversoid some
days ahead.

Social Equality.

ACCORDING 10 the nature of things.
the Radicals are just now engaged in
v%ehemently denying that their party IA
var Social Equality with the Niger
Their course in this particular, far from
surprising Democrats and Conservatives,
is just what they expected, Judging from
the past inconsistent policy of that
party.
When the war commenced, it was dis
tinctly understood that the subject Of
slavery was not to be interfered with
that the States vera to be allowed to re-
turn to the Union with all heir rights
unimpaired. The war ended the slave
in the meantime having been given his
freedom, by the Radicals, as a WAR MEAS
URE ..
Next in order came the question of
comforting political equality upon their
black pets. 1t was done by a Radical
Congaess against the clearly expressed
will of the people. Following in the
wake of an usurping Congress, the State
Legislature proposes an Amendment to
the Constitution striking the word
WHITE therefrom, thus placing whites
and blacks upon a perfect equality, po-
litically, in this State.
AZ a mask to the real ~issue-SociaI
Fquality-the Amendment was we'll pre.
pared but an iniquity so horrible in all
concealed phases, will as surely be
voted down and trampled under the feet
OF white men, as that tw and two makes
four. Let ii be uttered 10 thunder tones
on the threshold of every white mans
residence, that the Radical Disurion par.
y are exerting themselves to force upon
the American PeOpIe, perfect and uniim-
tied Social Equality. -[Woodsfsld Spiru

Release Of Jefferson Davis
ON Bail. 7si

AFTER nearly, or quite, two years o.
imprisonment, without a trial, or any
prospect Of any, Mr.. Davis has at length
been released on bail, a prominent Rad.
ical editor, Mr.. Horace Greeley, going al
one Of bis securities. This, we presume,
is a virtual end Of the whole matter, for
we cannot believe that tho prosecution
will be pressed any further. We CON.
graduate the country upon an act which
relieves il, ia the estimation Of the world,
of the foul stigma Of furnishing a man to
whom it would neither grant a trial nor
a release. In this, all sense Of justice
was outraged, and q merited stigma Of
dlshonor brought upon the Government.
Long ago it was perceived that no good
whatever could be effected by the trial
and punishment Of the crest leader, who
acted as the head Of eleven sovereign
States, in their attempt to sever the ties
which bound them to their twenty. five
associates. What be did was not indi-
vidual cot, but was the expression Of the
will of nearly one-third of the American
people, acting through their State forms
or organizations. To attempt to change
this great State transaction into one Of
personal crime upon the part Of q single
agent was abhorrentt to all ideas Of right
and justice. Besides, every reason of
expedicncy and public policy dictate that
the wounds Of the war and its bitterness
Of feeling should not be p%erpetuated BY
On irritating trial; that would only
exasperste those whom we desire to
reconcile to the Government and the old
Gag l-[Cincinnati Euquirer.
