1t is related of Dionyaias. the tyrant,
that he stripped the statue of Jupiter
Olympus Of robe Of massive gold, and
substituted q cloak Of wool, saying:
''Gold in too cold in winter, and too
heavy in summer. Z. .hshos-es us e lake
care Of .Jupiasr.". -. This incident serves to
illustrate the point made by Us in ohr
last issue, with regard to the new rols
taken mp by the radical leaders in South
Carolina Allof q sudden they profess
to be greatly concerned about the wages
Of the laboring men in all the depart
ments OF business; and white and colored
laborers are alike urged to strike for
higher wages. AS for ourselves, We are
pleased to see labor adequately compen-
sated. We mold that ''the iaborer is
worthy of his hire" But we see in the
movement We, ere referring to. neither
more nor less than an artful trick. It is
purely political move. and if it be de-
sirable to have wages raised. the laboring
man may we'll hesitate before he adopts
the proposed method of accomplishing
the object. The movement is double
faced. It says to the colored man: "You
are entitled 70 higher wages at the han Is
of yonr white cppressor, and it says to
the white man! Increase wages. and the
result win be, tnat white labor will be
introduced TO take the place of black la.
bof..". .Asa thus the acute radical hopes
to win white recruits to his ranks. In
the meantime, listle does he care whether
the interests of labor are really promoted
or not. It is sufficient for him that the
interests Of THE PARTY are advanced.
He agrees with Dionysius: sit behooues
us to take care o. Jupiter Jupiter
is NO ether than the great radical party.

TIE Posr OFFICE REponr. 1t is said
that Postmaster Genernl Creswell's forth
coming report will embrace recon-
mendation for tho abolition of the frank.
ing privilege, and that tho several de-
partments shall bo required to pay their
own postage. He says that under such
an arrangement his department would
become self-snstaining, if not source of
profit. He will also recommend that the
laws regulating tho advertisements by
the departments shall be changed in ma
terial respects: also, the abolition Of tho
letter box delivery system; that all mail
matter be delivered by carriers, or
through the general delivory; also, re-
dnction OF the rates on registered letters.

Tho Agricultural Bureau estimates
that the cotton crop of the Southern
States this year will be worth $240, ,000,-
600, while the total value of tho exports
of the South is set down at $32S. SOC, 900.
The South is actually richer than ever
before the war. There is not 80 much
concentration of wealth among the few,
but there is general prosperity which is
most gratifying, and which has made
itself felt in tho fall trade of the North
ern markets very perosptibly. The West
is purchasing no more than usual, and 10
beginning to manufacture in competition
with us, 80 that the regenerated South ID

RAILRoAD CONvENTIoN.--On Friday
evening last number of gentlemen,
representing many Southern Railroads,
assembled at the Charleston Hotel, with
the object of effecting change in the
schedule OF the roads running North.
There were present representatives from
the following roads: Richmond and Pc
tersburg Railroad. Weldon and Peters
burg Railroad, Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad, Northeastern Railroad, Sa-
vannah and Charleston Railroad, Selma
and Montgomery Railroad, Augusta and
Columbia and Charlotte Railroad. Owing
however. to the absence of any repre-
sentative of the South Carolina Railroad,
the meeting was forced to adjourn without
plishing the object for which it had
assembled. as it was deemed impractical
BILE to effect any change of schedule
without the presence and cooperation of
the South Carolina Railroad.

The FIRE AT THE CITADEL SATURDAY
MoRNING.-At a quarter past o'clock,
on Saturday morning last. smoke was
seen issuing from the lower portion of
the West wing of tho Citadel, and the
alarm was given. About half Of an
hour afterwards, the alarm was sounded
from the bell. The firemen, with the
apparatus of that district, were prompt
ly OH the ground, aud worked manfully
to eXtin2uish the flames. Several times
the roofs of the row Of houscs ON King
street. opposite the Citadel, were set
atirc by sparks, but were Immediately
cxtinguished. BY 8 o'clock, the flames
were snbdued, but only after the whole
OF the West wing, excepting the walls,
was consumed. Had the fire occurred
at night, the damage to property would
have been much greater, as it is more
than probable that several of the houses
on King street would have been destroy
ed. The amount of damage is not yet
known. The fire liz supposed. by some,
to have been caused by tho sparks from
a soldiers pipe falling into the hay. In
the store room where the fire originated
wero stored several hundred pounds of
hay and straw, and about 1000 tube cart
ridges. The rooms over the store room
wero used as quarters for the soldiers.
During tho fire these tube cartridges
commenced to explode. The Citadel
belongs to the State of South Carolina,
and was taken possession of by tho
United States authorities when the
Union came in" Who will repair da-
mages?- Charleston Ne,rs.

The Fifth Auditor of the Treasury has

stating that he finds upon the books of
his Office considerable balance duo the
United States from individuals holding
positions as ministers, consuls and COM

That if the colored people will vote the

AFTERNOON SESSION OF THE POLICE
CoURT.-An afternoon session of this
Court was held yesterday, for the
especial accommodation of Daniel Jack
son, whose case was continued from the
morning-one Of the parties implicated
in the melee in which Officer Junkins
was wounded, on Saturday evening.
There were two charges preferred
against Jackson-one for resisting an
officer, the other for disorderly conduct.
1t was clearly proven by seven or eight
witnesses that Jackson was acting in q
very disorderly and reprehrnsiGle man
her when Officer Junkins attempted to
arrest him. He resisted the arrest, and
while scutfling with Juukins, a comrade
of his, named Crumbacker, drew the
pistol from the officers side and pointed
it at him. Junkins caught hold of the
pistol, when it was discharged, it is sup
posed, by Crumbacker, and the contents
entered the officers leg. Jackson was
exonerated from having anything to do
with the shooting, but was fined ten
dollars and costs for disorderly conduct,
and twenty dollars and costs for resist
ing an officer.
We understand that Crumbacker has
left the city, and, consequently, has net
been arrested.

THEFT--It seems that petty thieves
are still plying their vocation whenever
opportunity offers.
One of this class succeeded in enter
ing the resideRce of Mr.. l.. Z. Harrison,
on Quincy street, between the hours OF
: aud 8 o'clock, yesterday evening, and
walked off with the slack of an over
coat and scarf belonging 10 Mr.. J. HAM
iltou, who, with the members OF Mr.
Harrison's family, was up stairs enjoy
ing a cup of tea; also hat, belonging
70 the owner of the house, all of which
were lying on q side table in the dining
room. 1t is supposed that the thief en-
tered the hall-door, which was unlocked,
and seeing the coast clear, entered the
dining room, examined the booty and
thinking it would suit, walked off with
it. The proper way to guard against
these sneak thieves which infest the
city, is t. keep your doors securely
locked as well through the day IS IN the
night.
