ATTACK ON THE STREET CARS IN
CHARLESTON. On Tuesday afternoon
last, seemingly well-organized effort
was made by several riotous freedmen
to test their right to ride upon the
street cars, in violation of the rules
OF the company. The cars were in
vaded, and in some instances the
lady passengers were compelled to
leave them, for fear of personal
insult and injury. When the rioters
found that the conductors could not
be awed into acQuicscencc with their
demand to be permitted to ride on
an equality with the white passen-
gers, they tried to interrupt the
travel of the ears by placing stones
on the track. \ squad of regular
soldiers from the Citadel and u de-
tachmcnt Of police put an end to the
disturbance and arrested the ring

New LEADERS. The Richmond
Times has the following thoughts
upon the changed political condition
Of the Southern people:
In the present crisis of the fate of
the Southern people, the old political
leaders who were famous in the days
before the deluge of civil war, have
made no efforts to guide or direct the
currents of popular thought Accus-
toned to the old order of things,
when measures of public Importance
were almost of rs slow growth as the
century plant, they have not been
able to act with the promptness and
decision which are requisite amid the
whirling eddies of arevolution. They
cannot comprehend how the people
can he moved without the cumbrous
old machinery Of caucusses, stump
speeches, party wirc-pnlling and Ella
borate discussions of first principles.
The new order of things which is
emerging from the chaos and debris
OF the wlr fills them with speechless
''tAi'"H-tiiiSb1, "iiNA CiAS.t Wisely IlilhC no
effort to regain the influence which
they once possessed with the masses.
But, as nature is said to ''abhor y
vacl1uili, and 81; The times dcn,aa:!
that the Southern people should have
leaders to guide and direct them, we
find all classes among us instinctivcly
turning for advice and counsel to
those great commanders who, for
years, by the display of the highest
talents and most admirable judgment,
sustained the cause Of the Confede-
racy against the most overwhelming
odds. Whatever Southern men, less
distinguished for military talents,
may say about the 'maintenanee OF
the honor of the South, all feel that
our honor is perfectly safe in the
keeping of distinguished heroes like
Lee, Johnston, Hampton and other
scarcely less renowned commanders.

IHE STAGNATION OF BUSINESS IN
New YORK. Perhaps nothing, says u
New York correspondent, shows in so
striking a light the prevailing stagna-
tion in all kinds of business as the
internal revenue returns from the
Thirty second Collection District,
which is the most important collec-
ton district in the United States,
embracing, as it does, the lower
wards of the city, and including all
the most important bonded ware
houses: October, 1866, 81, ,O53, 731. 80;
November, 1866, S956, G3S. 80; De
cember, 1866, SIP, 1856 80; January,
1867, SG27, 326.6; February, 1867,
1884, :lS7.S5. These returns certainly
exhibit very remarkable decrease,
but not more so. as there is reason to
believe, than Will those Of the other
districts as soon as the footings can
be prepared.
THE TRUE Policy A recent num-
ber of DeBow's Rerietc contains an
excellent article on the subject of
Southern manufactures, from the
able pen of Major VIM. j. Sykes,
of Mississippi, from which we take
the following extract:
"Our mountains are full of coal
and iron; our forests abound with
the finest timber; we have immense
water-powcr that we can use DURING.
the whole year, and which is not in
jured by the freezes SO common in
high Northern latitudes.
''The best and surest protection
which we can make against high
tariffs and high taxes on cotton is
to become the manufacturers of the
cotton which we raise

[For the Herald, ]
GIRLS.

There is a very essential differ
ence between the two chief classes
we encounter in the daily walks o
life-the wild, uncomfortable, joy
ful, clear headed girl of Romance
and the tender, highly wrought, re-
fined, sensitive nature of the oppo.
site class. The sensitive has an ex-
tensive intellectual capacity, which
in general she is willing to develop
to its utmost extent, She will not
allow rust to tarnish her mind for
want of intellectual action, nor will
she sicken for want Of care. Her
fine nature is over wrought, and is
in the highest state of irritation. 1t
responds to the slightest stimulus.
Her emotions called into play in
cessantly, preserve their vitality by
exercise. These, when too highly
elaborated, when too strongly ting
ed with the susceptible" are not
difficult to please in the selection Of
an object for alteration. If they
fix upon a man as the object, it Is
with the same manifestation of emo
ton that characterizes their affec.
ton for their cat, which has no
cause for complaint of want of de-
votion. -
Now loving and all devotion to
their idol, their enthusiasm is In
tense, the fit increases in intensity:
lntil they gush over with pent mp
passion, and dam and dyke being
swept away, their idol sinks beneath
the waves Of impulse to be recover

which their shallow hearts recuper-
ate their vigor; ssns. ; bI
