DESTRUCTION of CHURCHES IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

A committee of the Protestant Episcopal
Convention Ct South Carolina close an ex-
tended report of losses by the war as fol-
lows: trt.rT e.as.slf..
To sum up the losses Of the diocese, it
appears that ten churches have been burnt,
that three have disappeared that twenty
two parishes are suspended that two par
sonages have been burnt; that every church
between the Savannah river and Charleston
has been injured, some stripped even of
Misunderstanding and flooring; that almost
every minister in that region of the State
has lost home and library; that along the
entire seaboard, from North Carolina to
Georgia, where our church had hourished
for more than a century, there are but four
parishes which maintain religions services :;
that not one outside the city Of Charleston
can be called living self-sustaining
parish, able to support a minister; that
their clergy live by fishing, by farming and
mechanical arts that almost every church,
whose history appears on this record, has
lost its communion plate, often massive
and venerable set, the donation of an Eng
lish or colonial ancestor. The peeuniary
losses might be repaired if the diocese were
as in days gone by. But in its present i'm
poverished condition, no hope remains Of
speedy restoration. This generation can
scarcely behold il. EEttt'

A HARD STORY,

The following exceedingly hard story is
told by the San Francisco correspondent OF
the Boston Adrertiser:
"a headless rooster is at present draw
ing large crowds to the Woodward Gar
dens. Some five weeks ago this fowl, with
several others, was taken out by the cook
of hotel in the city TO be decapitated.
The deed was done, and he and his fellow
victims were left by the merciless cook to
die. Going out some time after, the an-
thor Of these proceedings was astonished to
see one of the ROSTERS walking around the
yard, butting himself against the fence,
and showing Enthusiastically that though his
head was off he was not dead. Feeling
curious no doubt 10 see how long he would
live, the bird was well taken care of, and
finally turned up in the Woodward Gar
dens, where he has been on exhibition
ever since. lie is fed with stick and
spoon. The former is used TO thrust the
food down his gnllet, and the latter TO give
him water. Your correspondent has seen
this bird, and can give his solemn 'davy' to
the fact of his head being Oft, aud that he
still lives. Since his unfortunate loss he
has gained six ounces in weight, and ia
still on the increase"

FEMALE REPoRrERs.

The anniversary meeting at New York
last week, brought mp some extraordinary
things, and among the most remarkable
we're three female reporters. The woman
rights convention was attended by three
ladies, the reportorial representatives OF
woman's rights newspapers for different
parts of the country. Two of the three
were sirong-minded Boomers, and the
other had discarded hoops and "sich," and
appeared in meek, retiring dress. The
S,aa reporter gives the following spicy de-
scription Of the force at work;
"Miss Ada Fessenden Craig, of Chicago,
was CARRIED in tight-ftting black silk pants,
green silk double-breasted vest and grey
paletot, which reached a little lower than
her hips. When she got warm at her
work, she opened the paletot, crossed her
legs-plscing the right foot on the left
knee, and upon the elevated limb she
placed her paper and piled her calling
with the utmost nonchalance. The other
was dressed in orango-colOred silk-silk
Knickerbocker pants, loose vest and flow
ing tunic frightened around the waist. The
Knickerhocker pants are finished by elias

TUE DECISION IN THE GAINES
CASE,
Real Estate Owners I'm New Orleans
Excited.


The Hcd,Htne Of the Goth says:
HThere is quite flutter among those
owners of real estate who are supposed TO
be affected by the decision of the United
STATES Supreme Court 10 the celebrated
Gaines case. The presence Of Mr.. Gaines
in orr city, whose purpose il is alleged is
to prosecute or compromise with, as the
case may be, the holders of property claim
ed by her under the viii Of Daniel Clark,
is the occasion Of the excitement TO which
we allude. The claims in question ex-
tend 50 far back, and are so little under
stood, that general insecurity among
large class Of property holders exists. We
understand that an attorney in the city is
making quite handsome thing of il, be-
ing cOnversant with the nature of the
claims, by furnishing information either
affirmative or negative in its character, for
the sum of twenty-five dollars in each
case
As the city IL more or less Interested in
this matter, it would be we'll and quite
proper If the authorities would provide for
publication OF list Of the property
holders in this case to which judgments
attach. uia ..t

GOSSIP ABOUr LORD LYoNs.

The British Embassy at Paris, according
10 a correspondent from that city, il at pre-
sent occupied in the solution of very
delicate question. When Lord Lyons was
at Washington, he was introduced to very
handsome lady, MdIe. T c., whose
mother was a Spaniard and father a
Frenchman, hut a naturalized American
citizen, residing near New Orleans. As it
was at the young lady's request the first in
PRODUCTION took place, Lord Lyons was very
polite toward her, almost to the verge of a
Irritation. Time rolled on; his lordship
came to Paris, and the young lady went TO
81. Petersburg.
The InmOred marriage Of Lord Lyons
with the noble widow Of a brother diplo-
matist brought his admirer from St. Peters
burg. She sends daily Invitations to his

hearted ambassador from his fair tor

There was not full Senate, but the
parties separated on the preamble as they
did on The Impeachment articles, while the
vote on the resolution itself was without
such distinction. Both the preamble and

GRANT AND COLFAX OFFICIALLY
NOTIFIED


The committee appointed By the Chi
cago Convention waited upon Gen. Grant
and Speaker Colfax on the 29th inst, at
the residence Of the former, and formerly
notified them Of their nomination. Gen.
Grant replied as follows:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen OF the
National Union Convention-I will en-
deavOr in q very short time to write you q
letter accepting the trust yon have imposed
upon me. Applause, Expressing my
gratitude for the confidence you have
placed in me, / will now say but little
orally, and that is to thank you for the
unanimity with which you selected me as
a candidate for the Presidential Office.
can S.y, in addition, that | looked on
during the proceedings at Chicago with 8
great deal Of interest, and am gratified
with the harmony and unanimity which
seemed 10 have governed the deliberations
of the convention. IF chosen 10 fill the
high Office for which you have selected me,
will give to its duties the same energy,
the same spirit, and the same will that l
have given to the performance of all duties
which have devolved on me heretofore.
Whether | shall be able to perform these
duties to your entire satisfaction, time will
determine. You have truly said in the
course of your address that l shall have
no policy of my own TO interfere against
the will of the people.
The following is Coliax's response:
Mr.. President Hawley and Gentlemen /:
History has already proclaimed that the
victories Of the party you represent during
the recent war, always gave increased hope
and confidence to the nation, while its re-
verses and defeats ever increased the ma
tional peril. 1t is no light tribute, there
fore, to the millions of Republicans in the
forty-twO States and territories, represented
in the Chicago Convention, that our organ
ization has been so inseperably interviewer
with the best interests of the republic that
the triumphs and reyerses of the one have
been the triumphs and reyerses of the other.
Since the General of the armies, with his
heroic followers, crushed the rebellion, the
key notes Of its policy, that loyalty should
govern what loyalty preserved, has been
worthy its honored record in the war.
Cordially agreeing with the platform
adopted by the National Convention and
the resolutions thereto attached, | accept
the nomination with which | have been
hOnored, and will hereafter communicate
that acceptance to you in the more formal
manner that usage requires.
There were long aud continued demon
STATIONS of applause, and the gentlemen
present generally advanced and shook Gen.
Grant and Speaker Colfax by the hand,
and congratulated them on the choice of
the Convention. The party then withdrew
to an adjoining room where COLLATION. had
been provided.
