A GoOD THING FROM KENTUCKY

A GoOD THING From KENTUCKY.
Once in while good thing in a
political way, comes from Kentucky.
The following is related by an eye
witness in letter to New Albany
paper:
"A few weeks since some mischiev-
Gus wag eau ed to be circulated through
London, Laurel County, Kentucky,
report that the Radical revolution
ary Congress had passed law en-
powering ard commanding negro
women toprosecute for bastardy, just
as white women are allowed to do in
similar cases. This was just before
County Court day, which is a great
day all over Kentucky. Al most every
body then goes to the Courthouse as
very much business is transacted, and
political speeches are delivered if a
canvass is going on. County Court
day came in London, and with it a
large influx of the ycomanry of the
country, who could be seen in squads
here and there about the Courthouse
yard, discussing and dcnouncing the
aforesaid act of Congress as an un-
constitutional interference with the
domestic concerns of the State of Ken
tuckey. When, 10! several negro
woman were seen vending their way
toward the Court house from different
directions, bearing their mulatto chill
dren i'll their arms. A panic i'm
mediat ly seized upon the crowd, or
rather the Democratic portion Of it,
and in e1 time than it takes to write
this, h rdred Democrats have
mounted tire horses and were ma
king for the ills and brush that sur
round the town, and it is said that
some of them have not been seen in
London since

REPUBLICAN, MEETING ON THE BATTERY
John N. Langston, colored lawyer, hailing
from Ohio, reached the city yesterday in the
course Of tour through the South, and de-
ivered himself Of aspeech last night The
faithful were notified Of his arrival, and it was
announced that he would speak at White Point
Garden. This drew large crowd Of negroes
to that spot, including number of colored
women. On the stage We noticed, besides the
speaker, Bowen, PlIlsbury, DeLarge, Burnt Dis
trict Randolph, and other lesser and blacker
Legislative lights. Lapgsson occupied the
attention OF his audience for some
time; descantipg on the power OF The Radical
party, hudlng it's progress and principles, and
.denouncing the Democrats. He said this was
not q white mans government, but every posi-
tion was open to the American, OF whatever
class or color. Langston mentioned that he
was Virginia slave; II SO, he has certainly
made good use Of his advantages, as his de-
livery and grammar were ahke une1ceptiona-
ble. The crowd, though somewhat noisy in
their demonstrations, behaved well on the
whole, and after the speech dispersed quietly.

Charleston In the Future-The PROPOSE
Park.

To the Editor of the Neps:
A writer in the Courier of last Saturday
speaks Of the space situated between Rut-
ledge, Broad and Beaufain streets as proper
place for Park. I. differ from him, and will
state my reasons. This lot is too valuable to
be thus appropriated, and too small for the
purpose. The ground spoken of could be di-
vided into building lots on which our citizens
and the wealthy strangers who intend to i've
the western part of our city has become a
fashionable place OF residence. The sale of
those lots would help the fund, Of the city,
and the building on them would add to the
beauty and health of the place. The writer in
the Courier speaks Of the want OF breathing
space He cannot be in earnest, and hope he
does it not in jest. Breathing space2 Our
over and destroyed our sacred temples, our
proud mansions and our humble dwellings,,
aud laid them PROSTATE to the earth. Years
have elapsed, and years. may pass before
they all will be again rebuilt. We want no
BREATHING space. Each spot OF ground should
be the site Of some beautiful home for our e1-
lied brother, our coming friends. In our city
limits there are and always will be open spaces
enough.
Each house has it's yard, and almost every
one Of them its garden, affording space
enough for q free and healthy circulation OF
air. Let our city be built up; we will soon
want homes and places OF business for the
Northern and European population that will
crowd our State and city, for the advancement
of our commerce and the enjoyment Of our
climate. 'Coming events cast their: shadows
before" In few years Charleston will put on
her high heel boots and walk up to the Four
mile house. All those farms and marsh lands
within tha. space will be laid out in wide,
straight streets, and elegant mansions and
large stores will be erected. The poor farmer
who has gone to sleep thinking Of his basket
of onions and potatoes, will wake up to have
them filed with gold and silver; his cottage
gone, and in it's place the noble dwelling. of
some merchant prince. Place your park be-
yond your present city limits; where land can
be bought cheap. Let it be located on the
waters OF the Cooper or Ashley Rivers, 80 thas mat
it can be Of easy access by land and water, and
afford pleasant drives and walks. Thus, when
our city becomes densely populated, there will
be place where the people can resort for e1-
ercise and amusement, like the parks at the
North and in Europe. 5.

F1RE.-A fire occurred about two o'clock yes
terday morning, in Line-street, near Rutledge
It was first discovered in a one-story wooder
building, formerly grocery store, belonging
to MIR. Fink, but latterly Used as school
room by the Young Mems Christian Associa'
ton. A building in the rear of the school
house, owned by Mrs. Etman, and occupied by
Mrs. McLemar, was also burnt. In consequence
OF the scarcity of water the 6remen were unable
to check the flames before the houses mention
ed above were consumed. AS far as cor.id be
ascertained, there was no insurance On either
the buildings or the contents, and the loss Will
be total.
CITY REcoRrER.-It is reported that Major
D. T. Corbin is a candidate for this Office,
which has been so long and worthily filled by
Judge Pringle. The duties of the Office are
not supposed to be arduous. and doubtless
Major Corbn thinks that they will fill usefully
and pro6tabIy the chinks of time unoccupied
by his manifold labors as United States Dis
trict Attorney, Circuit Judge, Codifer of the
Laws and State Senator. Major Corbin's in
dustry and patriotism are extraordinary, and
it is consolation to read the following figures,
which show that he can retire before he is en-
tirely exhausted in the service of his country ::
United States District Attorney, $4,000; Circuit
Judge 5000; Codi6er OF the Laws, 10000;
State Senator, per diem, mileage, and perquis-
ties Of influential member, s1O, 1000; City Re-
corder s2500. Total annual income, sS3, 800.
