INDIA LADIES AND How THEY ARE
DRESSED. ornaments worn by the
native women of India are something
wonderful. Commencing at the toes and
going up, or commencing at the head
and coming down, it is maze of mystic
ry. The hair is handsomely dressed, and
filled with all kinds of silver arrows and
gold darts, and bound with bands of
gems and precious stones. The ears are
pierced for not only one set of earrings
but for several, the usual custom being
seven holes in the right ear and six in
the left, which, in full dressed belle,
are filled with rings. The nose is usually
pierced in the left side, and ring with
pendant jewels hang around the mouth,
dangling upon the chin. The neck is
heavily laden with necklaces of metal,
precious stones, coral and pearls. The
bracelets on the arms are of silver or
gold. according to tho means of the
wearer, some Of the fair sex wearing as
many as twenty-five or thirty bracelets
on either arm. The fingers are covered
with rings in the same profusion, with
the addition of seal ring on each thumb,
which is generally the finest and most or
namental. The anklets of the higher
classes are of solid gold, set with pre-
cious stones. and are extremely beauti-
full.
Little bells are attached, SO that in
walking or dancing time Is kept to the
motion. The toes are frequently covered
with rings, the seal being worn on top as
upon the outside of the thumb. An
India belle in full costume may wear
several pounds of jewelry and not be
over-dressed. The mysteries of tho fe-
minine toilet are beyond my comprehen-
sion. Some wear fine silk shawls as q
neither garment, wound around in most
mysterious way, and are covered by an
other shawl of the same material, which
hangs over the shoulders and is CONT
nually futtering as if trying to escape
from silver or gold band which fastens
it around the waist. The little children
were dressed in admirable taste, and
looked as fresh and sweet as flowers.

work upon the new post office in New
York city will be commenced at an early
day. Mr.. Mullett, supervising architect
OF the Government, viii open bids on the
31st instant, for making the excavation

the necessary appropriations be made,
the building can be completed and ready
for occupancy within two years.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET ON
THE VIRGINIA ELECTION appears that
while the President is satisfied with the
results Of the late Virginia election some
of the members of his Cabinet, including
Messrs. Boutwell, and Creswell, are not
satisfied, and are working in behalf of
Wells, and the ultra radicals of Virginia,
to have the good work done in that State
upset by Congress. Now, as this recon-
struction business will admit OF no
further trifling or factious resistance, it
becomes the duty of the President to i'm
press this consideration upon his Cabinet
in way which will not admit of misun-
derstanding. He ought to inform the
members of his Cabinet that he among
them who is not with his chief on this
important matter, but in active opposi-
tion to him, must surrender his objec-
tions or his place. The President can
do nothing with discordant Cabinet,
and it is his first duty, as he himself has
clearly indicated, to secure Cabinet
that will be INIT, whatever the changes
required to this great end. OF all things
it is of the highest moment to the. Presi-
dent that he shall be the head of his ad-
ministration.-New York Herald

SERENADED.--Ex-Co Collector Mackey
was serenaded in Charleston, on Monday
night. After the playing of one or two
airs, DR.. NJ. made his appearance, and
was welcomed in few words by the
colored Chairman of the State Central
Committee, A. J. Ransier. The Ne,cs
says:
DIR. Mackey responded by thanking
the speaker and the assembled citizens
for their generous welcome, which he
attributed, not to his personal merits,
but to fidelity to the principles of Re-
publicanism. He said that he valued
this grateful tribute of esteem from his
political friends and associates in his
native city more than the glittering bau-
BILE OF public Office; that his official rela-
tlons with the administration were not
yet formally dissolved, and hence he did
not think this time proper for him to
present his views fully in regard to its
recent acts as they affected himself, but
that he would, at no distant day, lay be-
fore his fellow Republicans chapter of
political history, which would show that
senator's and representatives whom they
and he had elevated to power, had base
ly betrayed their trust. On that occa-
sion, he would spare no traitor; that they
had taken certain men from the mire to
place them in exalted positions, and the
people whom they had betrayed would
consign them to their original mud. He
concluded by denouncing the covert
attempt to organize third party here;
declared that conservative Republican,
ism is Democracy in disguise; and said
that we shall have no Virginia in South
Carolina; that he knew no Republican
ism but radical Republicanism. and that,
as a radicsI Republican, he would stand
or fall"

The WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

There never was a time in the history Of our
country when n greater necessity existed for cir
cuating pure Democratic documents. Radical
| legislation has made grave yard and desert of
half of our country; our liberties have been in
fringed upon to an alarming extent; overwhelm-
cd with debt, and staggering under its load Of
corruption and imbecility, our government is
the scott and by-wOrd Of foreign natonsj dispis.
ed at home and derided abroad it is overhang
ing the very brink of destruction; the departure
Of our people from the glorious precepts Of the
past, has led them into n labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in a military
despotism. The New York imperiaist, founded
and supported by the bond holding aristoeracy,
is laundering for the establishment of nm Empire;
its efforts receive the countcnance of high gov
eminent officials, and the appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs ofthc East we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability Of the ship of State. There is no
hope for the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties as citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their liberties are placed.
There is but one way to redeem the country from
the demagogues and plunderers who are fast urg-
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the
principles Of the fathers of the Republic, drive
from places of trust the spoilers fattening upon
the life blood of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be a |
change in the government within the next four |
years. The people must choose between Democ- |
racy and Imperialism The struggle has already |
commenced. The Democratic party will be |
found, as in the past, battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of the people |
Circulate the documents
With this object in view, we have determined |
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and |
hope thereby, to place it in the hands of every |
Democrat in the county, and within the reach
of every political opponent who may desire to
investigate facts and listen to the truth while yet
there is time. On and after the LIST of July, the |
price Of the WEEKLY ARGUS will be as follows
Single Copy, one year, .......,...........s2,5O
Ten Copies, sent to one address, each, ."2,2j
Twenty do do 200
When not paid in advance, "."..".." 800
sEss- The cost Of publishing Il paper IS os
great now as during the war, but we make this
reduction to still further increase circulation.
We invite all tn mixing men to aid us.

Reconciliation Of Thurlow Weed and Mil.

The New York Times contains the fol-
lowing
ut will afford the friends of both dis.
tiuguished parties infinite pleasure to learn
that tho long personal estrangemen, be.
tween Tx. President Fillmore aud Thurlow
Weed, was brought to happy close few
days since at Saratoga, by meeting of re
conciliation, so magnanmous in its feeling
incidents, so credtsble and characteristic
on both sides, that We trust we violate 40
private confidence in stating the fact. They
were their own voluntary mediators. Mr..
Fillmore was the Arst TO make the first ad.
vance, by intimating TO Miss Weed, on the
occasion Of the accidental meeting at the
dinner table of the hotel, that if he we're
sure 1t would be agreeable to her father, he
would call upon him at his rooms. On
hearing this, Mr.. Weed Immediately sought
the rooms of Mr.. Fillmore, where, with
scarcely momentary reference to by cones,
personal or political, the most hearty good
neighborhood and kindly understanding
we're restored. So these great eo,workers
IN the old Wing time, both grown gray in
he public service, are again friends, after
IN estranFement Of nearly score of years.
