The CONSTITUTION OF South CAROLINA
The Democratic State Central Committee OF
South Carolina have addressed the U. s.
Senate an appeal against the new Conslitu'
ton. in which they show that to carry out
i,s requirements would require a revenue Of
$2 ,23O, $50, while before the war the annual
revenue of the State was but $3.50, 900; so
tina, tax Of three per cent. on real estate
would now be necessary. But property has
decreased 33 per cent. since the war; 90 that
the real tax would be equal to ten per cent.
They show 10 addition, that on an average OF
"a colored delegate in the late Con- ventiou
pay in taxes less than SOC. each, and that 46
white delegates pay but Sc each. Of the
Al white members % no tax at all; and of

the reflections that the subject invokes
Wba. sublmi,y Of faith is revealed to US 10
this lesson from The sacred writings! The
Saviour rebukes the angry waves, and walks
securely upon the bosom Of the angry deep!''
As all in the house were whispering, "Ob,
how beautiful" the orchestra let himself out
again,
"Oh. q life on the ocean wave.
A home on the rolling deep"
There was good deal OF honest snicker'
ing turned on this time, and considerable
groaning, and two old deacons got up and
went out. Tue Snowman griued h,s teeth
and cursed the piano man to himself, but the
fellow sat there like a knot on log, and
seemed to think that he was doing first rate.
After things got little quiet the show
man thought he would make one more stag
ger at it anyhow, although his confidence
was very shaky. The supes started the pam
Drama to grinding along sgan. and he says:

Before any body could get off an opinion
in the case the innocent Old ass at the piano
strnck up
"Come rise up, William Riley,
And 70 along with me-"
All the solemn old floats got up in hurry
to 90, and every body else laughed ill the
windows ratified. The sbow,nen went down
and grabbed the orchestra, and shook him
and said,
"Tha, let's you out, you chowder headed

money, and cut sticks"

A MERRY HEART.

'Tis we'll to have merry heart,
However short we stay
There's wisdom in merry heart,
Whate'cr the world may say
Philosophy may lift its head,
And find out many fAw.
But give me that philosophy
That's happy with straw.
If life but brings US happiness
1t brings us. we are told,
What's hard TO buy though rich ones try,
With all their heaps Of gold
Then laugh away-let others say
Whate'er they will of mirth
Who laughs the most may truly say
He has the wealth Of earth.
There g beauty in merry laugh
A moral beauty, TOO
1t shows the heart an honest heart,
That g paid each man bis due;
And lent u share of what's to spare,
Despite Of wisdom's fears,
And made the cheekless sorrow speak
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud Itself in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin;
It finds spark TO cheer the dark,
Its sunlight is within;
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will OF mirth
Who laughs he most may truly boast
He has the wealth Of earth

a Spiritual Panorama-How it was fitted
to Music.

Mark Twain tells the following amusing
story of a spiritual panorama:
There was fellow travelling in this coun-
try with moral religious show-a sor: OF
scripural panorama-and he hired wooden
headed old slab to play the piano for him
After the first nights performance the show.
man said
My friend, you seem to know pretty much
all the tunes there are, and you worry along
first rate. But then didn't you notice that
sometimes last night the pieces you happened
to be playing was little rough on the pro-
prie,iss, SO to speak-dd not seem to g'be
with the general character of the picture
that was passing at the time, as it weFs-
was a little foreign to the subject, you know
as If you didu't follow suit nor trump-you

Well. no, the fellow said, be played along

So they pu. it up so that the simple old
dummy was to keep his eyes on the psnora-
ma after that, and as soon as stunning PIC
ture rolled out be was to tit to dot with
niece of music that would help the audience
t, oct an idea Of the subject, and warm them
up like a camp meeting revival. That sort OF
a thing would .corral their sympahies, the
Snowman said.
There was big audience on that night,
mostly middle aged and old people who be
Ionoed to church, and took a strong interest
in sucb matters, and the balance were young
bucks and asses-they always come out to
pauoramas, you know; because it gives them
chance TO kiss one another's mugs iu the
dark.
Well. the Snowman began to swell him

Der tackled the piano and ran his fingers up
and down once or twice to see that she was
all right, and then the fellow behind the cur
tains began to grind out the panorama The
Snowman balanced bis weight on his hips,

Hew Morgan,s Mind was Made up.

Here is another illustration of the em-
inently judicial character of the trial.
1t ought to be preserved as one oftLe in.
cidents to be woven into history hereaf-
ter. When the impeachment articles
were first presented to the Senate, Mr..
Morgan, Of New York, betrayed much
uneasiness, resulting from double state
of mind as to what he ought to do in
the premises. Most of his life having
been spent in passing judgment upon
mackeral and molasses, he had given
very little time to the study Of those
great judicial questions involved in an
impeachment. Hsis candidate for re-
election, and is desirous, above all things
to please bis constituents of the Repub-
lican party SO as to secure their good will
and support. How to know just what
the views of his constituents were, was
the great question with him. He con-
sidered the subject awhile, and, finally,
hit upon the novel expedient Of hiring
an intelligent young man to travel over
the State Of New York, from, one end Ito
the other, visit the leaders of the Re,
publican party in all the principal towns,
ascertain their views on impeachmentand
communicate the same to him. The re-
connoitering tour cost good deal of
money, which Morgan oheerfully paid,
and lasted about two weeks. Itresulted
in q report decidedly in favor of impeach-
ment, and those who are curious as to
how rigidly the Senator conformed his
votes to the wishes Of his constituents as
reported by his scout can satisfy them
selves by glance at the record. They
will find that the honorable Senator has
voted with idiotic consistency all the
way through. The scout reported that
the Republicans of New York believed
Chase to be copperhead land the Senator
starting upon that hypothesis. has voted
Chase down as far as he had the power
to do SO, every day Of the trial. / know

Pendleton's nomination.

The Endorsement of Peudleton by the
Illinois Democratic Convention, secures
his nomination at New York, beyond any
reasonable doubt, Notwithstanding the eff
forts that are being made to get up feel
ing in favor of Hancock, Dix, Blair, or
some other gentlemen. There is not now
and has never been any life in tho Han.
cock movement, or the Blair movement,
or the Dix movement, or any other Dem
ocratic movement, except the Pendleton
movement. Except few who are per-
sonelly interested in Pendleton's defeat in
New Yerk, there is not Western Dem
ocrat who is not in his favor. Something
has been said recently about nominating
Mr.. Chase on such platform as would
secure the support of the Democratic
party; but I believe that idea has been
abandoned from lack Of support from Mr..
Chase himself, who is not a Presidential
candidate, though he would like very
much to be President. There is not the
least doubt that if the Democrats would
give their support to Mr.. Chase be would
carry every Northern State, or very near
~ every one. But the project is a vis-
ionary one, viewed in the light of party
ties and party prejudices. Mr.. Chase
neither asks nor expects the Democratic
party to support him, however gratifed
he might be to see them do SO. Nor is
it much Of secret in Washington that as
between Grant and Wade and Pendleton
and whoever else may be nominated at
New York, Mr.. Chase's preferences viii
not be Cor the former. He would be much
less human and more divine than men
generally are in this world if he were in
clined to give his influence or his support
to men who have done their best to SLAM
der and malign him in the exercise Of his
highest Judicial functions, and to bring
discredit on him as a man because he ac-
ted uprightly and conscientiously as q
Judge. So it need not astonish any one
to find many Of Mr.. Chase's warmest
personal friends actively and earnestly
supporting the Democratic nominee next
fall, and that nominee will be Mr.. Pen
dleton, beyond all doubt,-"Mack" Eth

A Abyss1nia.-The Town and Citadel

Of Magdala taken by Storm--
King The0dorus Killed - The
Captives Liberated.
LONDON, April 26.-Dispatches from
Abyssinia give the following intelligence:
A battle was fought on Good Friday,
before Magdala, between the British
troops, commanded by Gen. Napier, and
the Abyssinia forces under the King in
person. The latter were defeated and
retreated into the town. Their loss was
very heavy.
On the Monday following, General Ma
pier ordered an assault upon Magdala,
and the town and citadel were carried BY
storm. King Theodorus was slain and
a large number of his warriors were
killed, wounded and taken prisoners.
The entire capital remained in possession
of the British forces. The loss Of the
British is small. All the British cap.
tives were found in the city alive and
we'll and were set free. General Napier s
instant return to the sea coast is expect
ed.
LONDON, April 26.-Still later advices
from Abyssinia, dated at Zaula on the
18th Of April, have been received here.
The very latest reports had at that point
from the scene of action in Magdala say
that but IA, 900 native troops had laid
down their arms, and that Theodorus had
FIVE hundred soldiers killed and fifteen
hundred wounded in the late engage
ment.
Advices from Napier's headquarters in
Magdala, without date, are also at hand.
They state that the Europeans lately
held captive there, numbering sixty souls,
including men, women and children, were
already on the route at Zaula for home,
and that the entire force of Theodorus'
army had been either killed, wounded or
captured.
General Napier takes By his victory
the twenty eight large guns just used
against him, 80, 900 stand of small arms,
10, 900 shields, such as are used in battle
in open field BY the Abyssinians, 10000
spears and many other articles of war
equipment.
After the whole works we're complete
ly taken, King Theodorus was found
dead by the English soldiers on enter
ing the central of his stronghold. He
was shot through the head. Some per-
sons say he was killed during one of the
battles, and others incline to the opinion
that he committed suicide when he found
the fortune of the day was against him.
The Kings body was recognized among
the killed and wounded by the British
captives when released.
Theodorus' two sons we're taken pris-
oners. a
The interior Of the Fortress Of Mag
dala presented splendid sight, the place
glowing with barbaric splendor. The
British troops plundered it at once. They
found four royal crowns, made of solid
gold, twenty thousand dollars in silver
plates, several lots Of rich jeWelry and
other articles Of great value.
LONDON, April 27.-Advices from
Sydney, Australia, to-day, state that
Farrell, who attempted to assassinate
Prince Alfred, had been tried, found
guilty and sentenced to death.
