South CAROLINA AT WASHINGTON.
A despatch from Washington says:

':Gov. Orr is here on business con-
nected with South Carolina, among
other things immigration to that
State and tho relief of postmasters
who had either made returns to the
Federal Government authorities,
which miscarried, or to the Confcde-
rate authorities, which are ignored,
and who are now harrassed by
Government claims. Gov. Orr is
not in favor Of the adoption of
the constitutional amendment by
South Carolina, or by any other
State, but favors graceful submission
to anything '.he conquerors' de-
mand. He jocularly thinks terrific
rialization would be welcomed as an
economical measure"
We hope our energetic Governor
may succeed in his objects of devising
some feasible mode of inducing labor
to come to this State, and the relief
of the postmasters Of the State. AS
to the reported political expressions
of Gov Orr, it is simply mere gossip.
His political opinions are in unison
with those of the mass Of the people
of the State.

The News from south Amerlcs,

Our news from the southern half OF our Con-
tinent is Of interest. The countries appear to
be still warlike in their appearance, and from
Panama to the estuary Of La Plata they talk OF
Little but war. The warlike fever appears to
extend even northward, and the unusually
quiet little republics Of Guatemala and Costa
RIGA are assuming q threatening attitude
against each other.
Following down the coast Of South America
we find in Ecuador that the people are getting
tired of arms and promise a little peace-peace
for moment, that they may take breath for
the next DASH
Peru presents little darker aspect; and
here we have something that savors Of re-
spectacle fight. General Prado, II the head Of
busted from power, and makes . sturdy fight
against the retrograde element opposed to
him. In fact, Peru is having . very lively
time Of it. AT the port Of Callao the foreign
es, at the latest dates, were forming them
selves into guard, 80 that in case Of any out
break they might protect their property. There
Il large party in Peru which demands peace,
and which lately attempted 1t in . novel way
by trying to assemble Congress and put down
both the rival chiefs In favor Of third.
From Chile come the usual notices Of an
uncertain condition Of things, occasioned by
Ne war with Spain, which is war and 10 not q
war which brings out . deal Of bombast on
the part Of both belligerents and which Il
minus the fighting to make II respectable We
cannot understand why Chile and Peru have
spent such large amounts Of money IN the forti-
ncation Of their ports during this war. Had
they early In the struggle equipped three or
four fast privateers, they might have swept the
commerce Of Spain completely from the ocean
and made her sue for peace. II d not too late
to do this even yet, and Il should q once be
undertaken. The very revolution now existing
in Peru Il stirred to action BY Spanish intrigue
70 weaken the Peruvian government and there
arc indications that Spain b also at work In
Chile for similar purposes.
How long the Spanish American republics
will stand the bullying Of wornout old Spain
We have no idea but We do know that We are
a. much 10 blame a. South America 4, and
that an attack BY any European people upon
one of them Is IN attack upon ".

Tho Alabama Clnima.

The speech Of her Majesty the Queen of
Great Britain, &C., does not refer 70 this SUBJ
ject Of difference between her government and
that Of the United States. Perhaps this Is
not q point that we should find fault upon,
since the speech is so notably silent on nearly
every matter of consequence TO the British
people that it may be inferred the topics not
touched are those the government really has
at heart, while those discussed or alluded to
merely make their appearance in the royal
address rs so many dummies to draw the Gre
Of critical assault Another indication that
her Majessy's Ministers have the settlement of
this Alabama dispute at heart is that the Lon
don press is giving the topic some attention
and treating 1t with rather more than the usual
British Indifference to the facts Bullying an
opponent ID with John Bull . peculiarly
favorite way of opening negotiation. In
deed, his 6no sense Of his own Importance
will never permit that illustrious parsonage TO
open negotiation except upon the assumption
that the opposing party is in the wrong; and
this ground be thinks Is secured when he
begins by bullying. II Is in this spirit, ap-
parently, that the London Tines makos its
latest declarations as to the Alabama claims
II asserts that the English government has
made "a fair and straightforward oiferv in this
matter; that the American people 81 are fully
aware Of this" and that the prominence given
to the subject here Is not due to the interest OF
the people IA it--not due to the feeling OF re-
sentiment Ut injustice and outrage, but solely
TO Mr.. Stewards desire TO use tho topic tor
manufacturing political capital. Il is to be
hoped that the Times does not represent the
condition Of English knowledge and sentiment
in this case. The American people are fully
aware that England has made an offer but 50

The Pacific Railroads.

IN pushing the Pacific railroads westward
they have finally reached points where Il Is alb
solutely necessary TO decide upon the routes
to be taken in their further extension. Here
tofore there has been much hesitation evinced
in this particular on the part Of the various
companies This Ii especially the case with
the Union Pacific, which Is now running TO
Cheyenne Wells, near the base Of the Rocky
Mountains The gradients directly westward
from the above point arc very heavy and the
curves necessarily very sharp. This Is owing
10 the fact that direct line cuts the water
courses at nearly right angles. while, ~
general rule, oil railroad lines should seek
routes parallel with the rivers that they may
be easier Of construction. Owing to this rule

The Charter EIection-Tho New Feature
In tho Contest.
The nomination Of John H Anthem puts q
new feature upon the Mayoralty contest and
holds out prospect Of the election Of q
thoroughly good citizen and an honest re-
former 70 the position Of chief magistrate of
the city. The Miles O'Reilly democracy, whose
nominee he is, have the credit Of putting into
the field the best candidate yet nominated, and
they are bound to give him their earnest
support under any circumstances. as every
vote cast for him will be an honor to the or
ganization But the fact is they have good
prospect of winning the high renown of elect
ing the Mayor. The withdrawal Of Mr.. Darling
from the contest would secure the success Of
Anthon; and, even If the former should nom-
his defeat will no doubt induce the main
portion Of his party to cast their votes for
Anthem as the only means by which Fernando
Wood can be defeated.
The recent developments made through
Peter Cooper have entirely destroyed Hof-
mans chance of success. He Is responsible
for all the corruption in every branch Of the
city government, since the treasury cannot be
robbed of a single dollar without his con-
nivance and consent. No money whatever can
be drawn from the treasury unless on warrant
signed by the Mayor. 1t is the especial duty
Of that officer to withhold his final signature
from all warrants unless he is satisfied that the
money they call for is honestly due to the
claimant That power Is given to him
for the protection Of the city. When
we find one hundred and ffty-two thousand
dollars drawn out OF the treasury for the ex-
penses of q department that ought not
to cost the city fifty thousand dollars, and
that bogus claims of seventy-nine and one hun
dred and two thousand dollars have been
allowed by the city without an appeal, we
know that the Mayor is the party really respon-
sible for the outrage, SINCE he has the power
to prevent and is placed in Office for the ex-
press purpose Of projecting the city against
just such frauds.
Let the honest men Of the city rally upon
Anthem, and they can elect him. Ahes O'Rsilly
was elected Register by the strength OF his own
party, and his bast efforts must be put forth for
his nominee. The whole Union democracy
must in all honor supper: him, as worthy Of
their trust and confidence, or must forever after
yield all pretence Of an Independent organize
ton. They have done nobly in their conven-
ton; they must do as nobly at the polls. The
Tribune, which has always advocated Q union
on good candidate for the sake OF the city,
and has before now supported a democrat for
Mayor on reform platform, cannot consist
emily refuse to advise the withdrawal OF OAR
ling and thorough concentration on Anthop.
The people have the mater in their own hands,
and It they choose to rally to the side Of Anthem
and the Mics O'Reilly democracy they can
finally dispose of Wood and Hoffman and
effec!ually break down all the rascally rings
whose corrupt rule has cost the taxpayers so
many millions Of dollars.
