The same Committee also submitted the
following as supplementary report, and ask

agreed to-:
Ecsolred, That the Democratic party Of

invitation from the Executive Committee of
the Democratic party Of the United States to
send delegates to the general Convention to be
held in New York, on the 4th day Of July next,
to nominate candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency of the United States
but, inasmuch as the military despotism un-
der which South Carolina labors will render
it impossible for the white race to cast the
vote of the State, at the next Presidential
election, it is recommended to the delegates
appointed from this State to ask the counsel
of their brethren from other States as to the
propriety OF their voting in the Convention,
and to govern themselves accordingly.

ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE DIsRARLI CAR

another defeat on the Irish church bill. the
consideration of which was resumed in the
House Of Commons on Friday evening The
vote on the second reading of the bill stood
yeas 3l2, nays :5S, leaving the Ministry in a
minority of 81. Mr.. Gladstone, in his speech,
took ground against subsidiAng any religion in
Ireland. This position OF the leader of the
Liberal party in England is highly significant,
and shows that the voluntary system is making
great strides in England. Mr.. Disraeli OBJ .
Jected that the tendency of this policy was to
the abolition OF both Church and State, and
tried to make the most of his argument But
this cry seems TO have lost its force with the
English people, who would probably not OBJ

our Streets are generally in such a horrid
condition that any effort TO improve them ought
to be regarded with favor. But the filling up
OF mud holes with ashes and other back ward
garbage, as has been done on some of our best
streets and avenues, does not come under the
name Of Improvement. and in the name OF de-
eercy we protest against against it. The re-
suit is unsightly and unhealthy, and the nau-
ssous smells and fine dust arising from such
nlthy deposits are even more Objectionable and
offensive than mud holes, bad as they are. A
practice so reprehs nsible in every respect ought
to b. discontinued at once. If the proper au-
thorities are not able TO procure gravel or other
suitable material with which TO repair the
