with extreme and repeated acts OF cruelty to herself

beam, so that her toes barely touched the noor, and
there logged her with q horsewhp. Also, that III

1866 when she repaired To Chicago, where she states
she has since resided, supporting herself and chill

from constant fear that the defendant should

authority over her.

Torch and Turpentine.

Our special telegram Of yesterday, an
nounoing that the negro Radicals in Colum-
bia had broken into the hall used as Demo-
cratic headquarters and set it on fire in
two places, took no one by surprise. For
long months the leading Radicals have
begged and prayed that the colored men
would try the power Of turpentine and the
torch. Flames were to convince where ar
guments had failed. The midnight prowler,
and the burning barn and ruined home
stead, were to prove to the white people
that the negro ;r,endiary and his white
teacher were capable of ruling the brains
and wealth Of the State. But many ne
groes know already on which side their
bread is buttered. They are inclined to
believe, also, that discretion is the better
part of valor. They do not all care to turn
themselves into the streets; nor do they,
without exception, believe that, whatever
their conduct, they will always 60 scot free.
In Charleston, and, for the most part, in
the country districts, the house-burners
have been silent. Why have they spoken
with tongues of fire in Columbia?
The Legislature is composed of the head
men, the chief cooks and dish-washers, of
this famous Radical party-white, black
and mixed. Its members have been faith
full over one thing. They have lost no op-
portunity Of infsming the passions and
prejudioing the minds of their sable and
yellow constituents. They had one fear
less, uncoMpromising man amongst them
one LESLIE, a shirtless carpet-bagger. This
man they attempt to eject from the Senate.
They fail and he makes stump speech at
night. in which he--a Radical, carpet -bagging
senator-declares that the present Legis-
lature is farce, and that the black man
never cen be practical Legislator. This
was enough. LESLIE could not be ducked.
or tarred and feathered. But the wink was
given, or not given, to the negroes Of Co.
lumbia. 1t was limited that the Democratic
devils were at the bottom of it all, and
the Democratic headquarters was fred in
two places.
Every act of violence in the State is
caused by the suggestions and advice of the
white scalawags and negro rogues who
rule the Radical party. The mass of the
negroes would never dream o. these things.
When white adventurers and negro dema-
gogues are bundled neck and crop out of the
State, we shall have peace, and not before.

Democratic Prospects in the State.

We publish in another column this morn
ing table showing the number of regis
tered voters in the State, the vote cast for
and against the constitution in April last,
and the number Of persons not voting at
that election; and we do this in order that
our people may be convinced that they can
roll up large vote for the Democratic can
didates at the elections to be held in No
vember. The odds against US are not so
great that victory is impossible, and at
the worst we may be sure Of carrying dis
tricts enough to make the Radical tenure of
power in this State miserably uncertain.
According to the registration Of March
81, 1868, there was an absolute white ma
jority in Anderson, Chesterfield, Green
vile, Horny, Lancaster, Lexington, Marion,
Pickens and Spartanburg, and in York the
colOred majority was only IS. But in An
derson, Horny, Pickens and Spartanburg
alone was the negro constitution defeated
at the elections held in the following April.
The other districts, FIVE in number, in which
the whites had majority of the registered
votes, were carried by the negroes. This
sad result was caused by the supineness of
the white voters; for the official returns
show that the FIVE districts referred to could
have polled large majority against the
constitution, if none of the qualified voters
had stayed away from the polls. TheaRad-
icals and their allies voted in a solid phal-
aux; but hundreds of white men, and hun
dreds of negroes who would have voted
with the white men, did not 60 to the polls
at all. It was taken for granted that con-
test would be vain and futile, and in Ches
terfeld, Greenville, Lancaster, Lexington

herself is likewise mostly short Of funds. The
better classes Of Madrid society look with pro-
found contempt on the royal family. AS a
proof Of the Queens unpopuIarity at the capt
tai of Spain, it is said that there is IN Madrid
scarcely single girl bearing the name lsa-
bella.
The Jewish Messenger says that at the
auction sale Of pews m the new Temple
Emanuel in New York, the amount received
reached about $750, 900. The trustees expected
a pre-emption of $4,000, but it amounted to
100000. The highest price paid was s460O,
the purchaser selecting the pew directly in
front of the pulpit. The other members paid
various sums, ranging from $4,000 to S.. The
appraised value of the pews was $500, 900, there
being twenty at $4,000 each. Many Of the seats
wore sold at comparatively low price, the
trustees very properly declining to neglect tn
claims of the poorer members. The lowest
priced pews were sold for $500, accommodate
ing seven occupants each. By this sale the
Temple stands free from debt, and with sink
ing fund Of 100000.
For the information of orr German-born
population, the Department of State has pub
lshed the circular letters that have been sent
out by the Minister Of the Interior and the
Minister of Justice of the, North German
Union. The circular says that, in the confor-
nifty with the second article of the treaty of
February %, between the North German Con-
federation and the United States Of America,
the punishment incurred by punishable emi-
grafton is not to be brought to execution on
occasion of return Of the emigrant to his
original country, If the returning emigrant has
obtained naturalization in the other country
in conformity to the first article Of the said
treaty. In consideration whereof, in every
case where legally valid condemnations of this
kind exist against such persons, an official re-
port is to be made to the Minister of Justice re-
p,cting the remission Of the declared punish.

to shorten and simplify the matter, these
recommendations are to be consolidated in a
