aRAMME--How TO LEGIs1ATE. Tile i'm
macnlste eight in the City Council, who
have been 80 delightfully."- hanked in their
indecent haste to legislate themselves
into office, and TO curb the dignity and
powers OF the Mayor, have planned and
stratagemed q long while to recover
their lost position. Every possible in
iuence has been brought to bear upon
Mr.. Pillsbury; the League has been
called into requisition, that powerful Gu
5ine that seldom fails in accomplishing
the ends of the skillful politicians who
WELD 1T, and the Governor himself, after
three days fruitless effort, has been forced
to give up the trial to make peace Mr..
Plllsbury and his supporters refuse to
recede an inch from their position, and
Democrats, good, sound, responsible men
ST. still continue to hold the city Offices
This state of things is of course extreme
ly distasteful to the extremists, and nc
cordlngly, not being able to find any
other way ont of their perplexing posi-
ton, they offered proposition to com
promise by resigning, and ordering an
other election. Even this failed to
effect the object for which it was intend
ed, and one would suppose that the gss-
rlous eight would surrender. Not so,
however; these Republicans have win
ming way OF doing business, and on
Saturday new dodge rade it's appear
ance, in tho shape Of q petition to the
Legislature for an extra session, for the
purpose of repeating the validating Act
and authorizing n new election.
Of course, it is just as competent for
he Legislature to repeal one of it's own
Acts. ms it is for it to declare IN illegal
election valid; and it is one of the least
covers that the reconstructed Legisla-
tare of South Carolina possesses. But
we do not believe, with all the boldness
OF successful politicians. that represen-
t"tive body pretending to work for the
common good, will involve the State in
an extra expense Of fifty or Il hundred
thousand dollars, in order to legislute
eight disappointed Aldermen into power,
IN the City Council of Charleston. 1t
will not be done. The scheme, very
bold one, will fall to the ground, and it's
pnme movers will have to devise some
o'her means for cfl'ecting the avowed OBJ

velopments, and in the meanwhile coun-
sci peace. Charleston Courier.

The inmates escaped to the rear. The
conservative found refuge in the upper
story, when the police surrounded the
house and brought the conservative
down, enclosed him in hollow square,
and took him to the polls, when he
voted. The negroes now being furious,
threw volley Of stones, and fired pistols
occasionally. The chief of police was
to fire over the mob. This increased the
mob's violence, when the police were
compelled to fire {. volley directly into
them, killing one and wounding three,
when the mob fed. Earlier in the day
policeman was cut with razor and Sc
riously beaten, in the Sixth Ward Tie
rioting has been confined entirely to ne
groes. The negroes show no disposition
to molest the whites SO far, but they are
drinking freely, which causes much APP
prehension for safety during the night.
The marines have been ordered to hold

fears OF the people. It is just to say that
no respectable colored citizens OF Wash

riots to-day.

MADRID, June 7.-The Constitution
was promulgated on Saturday with great
pomp. The Executive Council and
Cortes appeared On the platform, where
the 3eoretary of the Cortes read the
Constitution. There was an immense
concourse, which applnuded loudly. Re-
turning to the Chamber, each member of
the Cortes was sworn to protect and sup
port the Constitution. Some Kisses were
heard. After the promulgation of the
Constitution, q tumult ensued, which
only subsided when the military ap-
peared. The Governor of the city of
Madrid rushed among the foremost of
the rioters, shouting "Viud Soverania
Nacional." This changed the feeling of
the huctuating mob, which joined in
cheering the Governor, and the tumult
subsidized. Only two were killed and
puties returned to the platform and re-
viewed 10000 troops. The enthusiasm
on all sides was very great. It was no.
ticed, however, that none of the Repub-
lican deputies participated in the pro-
ceedings.' The civic procession was fol-
lowed byn grand banquet and fireworks.
Over 100000 persons from the country
visited Madrid during the day. A bill
will be introduced in the Cortes to-mor-
row, creating Seriano Regent of Spain,
but without the power or sanction of the
laws, or to dissolve the Chamber. Di-
rect taxes in the Spanish colonies are
reduced one-half, ard n small export duty
on sugar, rum and tobacco has been i'm
posed.
Much anxiety is felt about Cuba. The
Government is unwilling to publish
kilograms from Cuba, which creates much
uneasiness.
LONDON, June THE Conservative
Peers agreed to oppose the second read
ing of the establishment, instead of
rejecting the bill, thereby gaining time
and avoiding excitement The majority
in the Lords against the bill is eighty.
