the House of Representatives will be nuliGed by
that of South Carolina. The real object of the
radical conspirators is no longer a secret. Men
may shut their eyes to the truth, but the revolu-

which are here foreshadowed, will come as surely
military rule, negro supremacy, the usurpation
OF the constitutional powers of the Executive, the
destruction of the Supreme Court, and finally, the
impeachment of the President of the United States,

U. s. DISTRICT CoURr.-The argu-
ment of General Wheat, which was
commenced on Tuesday afternoon, in
behalf of Mr.. James, was concluded
yesterday morning. 1t was an able
effort, and fully sustained that gentle
mans reputation for learning and elo-
quence. He was followed by Judge
Camden, on the same side. At the
close of Judge CPS remarks, the Court
ing. Col. Benz. Wilson and A. f. Hay.
mond, Esqr., will address the Court to-
day for the defendant. Both OF these
have more than State repu-
tation for legal ability. We presume
their efforts will be among the finest
ever made in this city, and will attract
a large and brilliant audience.

THE practice of coasting on our pub
lie tboroughfares is again becoming a
nuisance, except, perhaps, to the par
ticipstOrs. The boys are not satisfied
with running on the streets, endanger-
ing their own necks, but have taken to
the sidewalks, rendering 1t dangerous
to walk upon them. Especially is this
the case on Monroe, Union and Quincy
streets. We do not wish to interrupt
the boys in any innocent pastimes, but
this IS not right, and a stop should be
put to 1t at once.
