A RADICAL VIEW OF Po11r1cA1
PREACHER.-We are glad to see that
the House of Representatives is still
to enjoy the invaluable services Of
Rev. Mr.. Boynton as chaplain. It is
that gentleman's habitual practice to
thank the Almighty pretty regularly
for whatever may have been done in
Congress, which accords with his own
views of political and party propriety,
and in this way the members are pro-
perly posted as to his opinion of their
acts. AS the chaplain has no other
mode of making political speeches in
the House. not being a member
thereof, it is exceedingly clever in
him to have discovered so excellent o
dodge. We observed that in Thurs
days opening prayer, he offered o
resolution of thanks for the establish
ment of universal negro suffrage.

FATAL ACCIDENT. Sunday
evening, Capt. j. Augustus Durbec,
Of this city, went out in row boat
with two colored men, named Charles
and Mike Hampton, for the purpose
Of shooting ducks. When off De-
wees Island, at about o'clock, he
saw some ducks, and told Charles
Hampton to load his gun for him.
Hampton had no shot, and put two
Minnie balls in the gun, at the same
time handing Captain Durbec q per-
cussion cap. This was put on the
nipple, and. in passing the gun, the
trigger caught and the gun went off,
the balls striking Captain Durbec in
the forehead and passing out at the
back of his head. The wounded man
died instantly, and was brought to
the city. Coroner Whiting held an
inquest on the body yesterday, and,
after a patient hearing of the evil
dence, the jury returned verdict of
accidental Decentralization Ne,os.

CONVICTION OF A CITIZEN BY MILi-
TARY COMMISSION. Before military
tribunal convened at Columbia, by
order of Gen. Candy, John McGin-
mis-, a citizen, was arraigned on the
charge of violating so much of Ge-
carrying of deadly weapons. It
appears. from the testimony, that he
snapped navy revolver at one soldier
and threatened to shoot another.
He was found guilty, but to conform
the sentence in a measure to the
spirit of the State law, it was COM
muted to stand as follows: To be
confined at hard labor for the period
oIaa OF six months, and to pay a fine of
$500; which price, if unpaid, will be
expiated by further imprisonment, at
the rate of $25 per month. Fort
Macon is the place designated for his
confinement. Charleston Courier.

RUMoRED DISTURBANCES AT Rock
WILLIE AND WADMALAw ISLAND. va
rious exciting rumors were in circula-
ton yesterday of further disturbances
at Rockville and upon Wadmalaw
Island. Among other rumors, it was
stated that several white men, at the
last mentioned place, including Mr..
John King, formerly a merchant of
this city, had been attacked by the
negroes and beaten badly. It was
also reported that a number of the
leading negro rioters had been arrest
ed and brought to this city.
Upon inquiry, we could learn moth
ing definite or authentic of these
rumors, except that Company B, 9th
United States Infantry, departed,
under orders, for Wadmalaw and
Rockville, yesterday morning, and
had not returned up to late hour
last evening.-Gharleston Courier.

order, says:
cit is understood that this impor-

Orr, and several radical changes have
been made which, we are satisfied,
will please the mercantile communi-

liberty to state the changes made,
but our readers may be assured they
are Of character which will have O
healthy influence in restoring the

TROUBLES ON THE Sea ISLANDS.
We learn that q number of planters
have made complaint to Gen. Candy,
OF some of the white candidates for
tho Convention, who have induced
the negroes, by threatening messages,
to abandon their work, for the pur
pose of attending meetings at various
localities, and hearing the speeches
of the candidates. The balance of
tfN crop, not yet secured, had suffer
ed materially in consequence. Gen.
Canby has ordered an investigation

The Tenants of Mallory. A Novel.
By j. Sheridan LIE Fanu, author of
"Uncle Silas," "Guy Deverell, {"
etc. New York: Harper & Bro
thers.
Mr. McCarter has placed before us
a copy of this charming work. 1t is
said that no writer more fully fulflIs
the odd, idiomatio expression of
carrying the reader along with
him." The reader is Carried along"
wherever Mr.. lie Fanu pleases-by
the strangest and most out-of-the-
way routes, by the most simple and
fowery paths, by the most doleful,
difficult and mysterious tunnelings,
swiftly, certainly and willingly, to
the end. So swiftly and so eagerly,
indeed, that sometimes when he has
finished it, he INDUCES himself, after
breathing halt, with q slower ex-
animation of his favorite chapters,
and begins reading the novel second
time. musing over it, smiling at it,
wondering he did not foresee this
and comprehend that, conscious of
meanings missed and prophetic hints
overlooked in his great hurry, and
finding the second perusal even moro
pleasant than the first. The price of
the work is only fifty cents.

Troubles enough are convulsing
the universe. During the last ten
years, every nation Of the globe has
been at war, and the sword has been
followed by elemental violence, by
pestilence, by plague. The heavens
have. been illumined with shooting
stars; millions of dollars of property
have been lost by the gales; there
has been an eruption of Vesuvius;
an island, with all its inhabitants,
has been submerged; Alaska, without
the 'i'' has been swept out by hur-
ricane; the whole universe has been
distracted by meteoric showers; In
dian tornadoes and volcanic explo-
sions. Cumming and Miller say that
the end OF the world is coming: bnt
this old world will stand q great deal
Of hard usage, and will wear at least
long enough for the reviveI n-,5 -.
newed prosperity of the South. IF
an earthquake were to swallow M a
radical caucus, there would be no
cause for compliant; if the Capitol
were to slip into the Potomac. the
great American Union might still
survive, and commence at once the
building of new hall of debate
which should be as high as the tower
of Babel and contain as much con-
fusion.

THE RIvArs or SoUTHnaN CorToN.
The editor OF the Wilmington Stdr
has had an opportunity to examine
samples, sent from New York, OF cot
ton grown in Peru. and the East and
West indies. That from the West
Indies was remarkably fine, hestapie
being as long, and the texture as fine
as our American Sea Island cotton.
The sample from Peru, while not 80
good as the iormer, was superior to
any upland cotton. The body was
very superior, being very similar to
wool, both to the eye and touch; the
staple was not so long as the Sea
Island, but combined great strength
and elasticity, and the sample gave
evidence of careful ginning. The
specimens from the East Indies were
inferior to the others, and much be-
low our god American upiands. The
color was not good; the staple moth
ing to boast of, and there was an alb
sence of the careful preparation OBJ
seryable in the Peruvian, the cotton
being full of fragments Of leaves and
the inner coating of the pods. There
was remarkable absence Of sand or
dust in all the samples. but this was
possibly owing to the frequent hand
ling to which they have been SUBJ
iected.

The THIRD DISTRICT. The Charles
ton Ne,cS says:
Gen. Pope has, it seems, found ont
to his own satisfaction, the true in
tent and purpose of the Congressional
scheme of reconstruction. He says,
in his official report, that the recon
struction acts were passed for the
purpose of giving the people of the
Military Districts free and fair op-
portunity of reconstructing their
State governments in the manner,
and on the conditions, therein speci-
fed. We "outer barbarians" believe
that there was nothing either "free
or fair" in the reconstruction pro-
gramme; and where the only alterna-
tive is between being killed and kill
ing oneself, it is surely best to avoid
the sin of self-murder. Gen. Pope
also found out that the disloyal Geor-
gia press were supported by State
and municipal patronage, in which
case they were better off than are the
newspapers Of the Carolinas. The
removal of the Mayor of Mobile was
necessary" SO was the cutting off of
advertisements from innocent daily
papers; so was the Pope code Of
general orders, for the keystone of
the whole fabric lay in these classical
words: Salus Pope suprena lee.

FATAL AFFRAY IN CHESTER. We
learn that on Sunday last, a SOL
dier, who had been ordered to camp,
drew pistol and fred at the guard
sent to arrest him; the shot, however,
did not take effect. The fire was re-
turned by the guard-the ball passing
through the soldiers body, killing
him instantly, and mortally wound
ing negro, who died Monday night.
This affair gave rise to various rumors
of serious difficulties between the
soldiers and the colored folks, but we
are credibly informed that no further
disturbance occurred.

THE DIGNITY OF LABoR.-The New
York Tribune has the following tart
criticism on the ''spouting" of new
member of Congress, who got on
stills in advocacy of the rights of
working men:
Gen. Sam. Gary, a newly-created
member of Congress from Cincinnati,
some days ago made a speech to
working and listening men in Pitts
burgh, in which he threw himself at
full length in favor of an eight-hour
law for the benefit of the bone-and-
sinew. Waxing eloquent as he neared
the peroration of his remarks, he as
sured his hearers that "God hos set
the seal Of dignity upon labor by his
own example. He is farmer, and
with His own hands has planted
groves and orchards, and with His
own hands has scattered the seeds of
abundant harvests. God is O me-
chanic, and these fearfully and won
derfully made temples of the soul are
evidences of His ingenuity and skill.
God is manufacturer, and is every
where preparing garments for His
creatures. He clothes the beasts with
skins, the focks with fleece, and the
birds with plumage."
This does not strike us as an alb
solutely original idea, and we only
note it to ask the honorable repre-
sentative If all this work was done
upon the strict eight hour plan. If
not, the illustration must inevitably
argue the other way. We have vet
to learn that in any of the farming or
manufacturing processes SO eloquent
ly set forth in the above extract, the
steam-whistle sounded for labor at 8
a. M, or screamed "knock off, at 4
p. M, or any other hour. But, per-
haps, Gen. Gary has more accurate
information. Perhaps he can show
that sleeps wool and birds feathers
grow only eight hours per day. If so,
will he give us the exact facts, at any
time between eight and four by day
light-Sundays excepted?

Co-oPsrativye Labor.


Co-opsratfye Labor.
We learn from onr exchanges that
there is in England cotton min
esl..ssd the Sun Mil. which has been
put in operation BY working men, on
the cooperative plan, which has
$1,000 spinales, carding machines,
60, tended by about 800 men and
girls, using weekly about $1,000
pounds Of cotton. The enterprise
was started about eight years ego, by
{ wcrknen who had become convinced
Of the wisdom of using the advan-
tages Of combined skill and expe-
riencs TO their own benefits, instead
of selling them eat a low rate to q
capitalist.
: A foreign correspondent of the
Boston Journal gives an interesting
( hiatnrv of The ;,cs=ess ;,-cs-eess end success
of this undertaking. The capital
was fixed at $25O,0O in shares of
$25 each, and observation-disclosures were
at liberty to pay insmall instalments,
30 that q portion of their daily earn
ings might be set aside for that pur-
pose-thus from the outset making
the enterprise a sort of savings bank,
which would not, however, return
any dividend until the mill was in
operations - $stl
The building was erected by share
holders, and one Of their number was
selected rs agent, to carry on the ope-
-sations; but they gave him toe, much
sto,do.' and this and other mistakes,
resulted, in 1864, in bringing in a
sbalance sheet, with $75, on; the
wrong side. Enlightened by this
severe lesson. the directors made O
division. of labor in the management,
and With o success, which, since then,
in o little moro than two years, has
made good the loss, and enabled the
company to declare two semi-annual
dividends of four percent, while the
shares have advanced to premium
Of 16 per cent. At the formation of
the company, the largest share-hold-
ers had $4,000, while the majority,
held only $25. The largest share
holder at the present time, is one of
the workmen, who owns $4,000. Va
rious cooperative societies have taken
up this stock, investing in it their
surplus funds. One good.feature or
ruleof the association,fis that there
must be no speculation by any. of the
managers, and that there must be
perfect system in sthe division of
labor.
From all we read in the English
papers, we are convinced that this
cooperative system has produced
great change for the better in the
condition, fthe working classes in
chat country. We observe that simi-
lar movements have been made in
various places in this country, but SO
far with little success. The laborer
is worthy of his hire, and we can see
no good reason why the profits of
that labor should not be reapod by
those who do the work, instead of
giving them to men of capital, simply
because they have the capital. The
elevation and welfare OF the workers
in any community must prove advan-
tageons to the interests Of the whole,
and 1t is, therefore, that we should
like to see this cooperative principle
introduced into this country, and
successfully carried out, by all the
industrial classes, in every depart
ment of mechanical skill or manufac-
turing enterprise.

TIE ADDRESS BY. GEN. PRESTON.
The unpleasant weather, last night
prevented many of our citizens from
hearing the address delivered by this
learned and much-admired orator;
the hall was, however, quite full; and
for the benefit of the forced absen-
tees, we hope the address will be re-
peated. The subject-"The Women
Of tho Cowederacy-their Work and
their Re,oa,d," was one which gave
the speaker ample scope for the dis
play OF his oratoric powers. A just
tribute was paid 10 the sympathetic
nurse, the Spartan mother and the
bereaved wife. It is for the relief of
these unfortunates-who have been
deprived Of their natural protectors
that the efforts of the philanthropic
managers of the Industrial Associa-
tion are directed; and the amount
contributed last night will materially
aid the good work.
