New YORK, March 19.-The Tri-
bune's Columbia (South Cardinal,
last evenings special says:
One of the most remarkable meet
ings ever held in South Carolina took
place to-day, the occasion being a eel
ebration by the negroes of the passage
Of the Enfranchising Bill for the
black race. -.ti
By invitation, Gen. Wade Hamp-
ton, ex-U. S. Senator; D. E. Soussure,
Edward Arthur, Hon. w. j. Tallery,
and James G.. Gibbs, addressed the
meeting; also. the Rev. David Picket
and Beverly Nash, both colored
Sentiments were expressed highly
honorable to both sides. The negroes
are gratifed with the spirit of political
afiliation with which they have been
met, and the citizens are equally pleas
ed to find the colored men identified
with the true interests of the State.
Should a convention be called, the
latter will probably nominate and
support the best men in the country
and as declared by Mr.. Nash, will urge
Congress to repeal the disfranchising
clause, which deprives them of the
service of those in whom they have
the greatest confidence.
The recent enthusiasm among the
Fenians in this city has been giving
way to apathy for the last few days,
but on the receipt of the news from

in the wires connecting with the
cable, hope was revived among them,
and their belief in general uprising
on ST. Patrick's day was reiterated.
The trustees of the Peabody fund
for the education of children in the
South, will probably hold meeting
in this city during the week, when it
is expected Mr.. Peabody will be pres
ent to give his views on the distribu-
tion of the fund.
Robert III. Newell has obtained
decree of divorce from Adah Isaacs
Menkin, the equestrian actress.
The Herald'S Vera Cruz corre-
spondent says the work of fortifying
Vera Cruz is being pushed rapidly
forward. The artillery of the de-
parting corps had been shipped, and

than six days longer.
Marshal Bazaine was expected to
leave in a day or two, on his trip
from the interior. Bazaine, it is said,

The Herald's Quereterro CORE
spondent says Macmillan, on his
march from the Capital, has been
greatly annoyed by guerrillas, and his
winter wardrobe has been reduced by
forced loans to a shirt and pair Of
socks, and piece of coat. His OBJ
jective point is said to be San Luis
Potosi.
The Herald's Southern correspon-
dent says that in Virginia the mil
tiary rule has already been declared
to be supreme, but the fact that civil
law is being abolished is hardly ap-
parent. In Charleston the revolution
is accepted with apathy, no one ex-
cept the fire eating politicians SEEM
ing tC take the matter much to heart.
In Louisiana General Sheridan s
