Heretofore the South has borne the blame
of the extinction OF American commerce.
1t was supposed that the Alabama and the
Shenandoah had driven from the. ocean the
mercantile marine of the United States.
Rut now that these vessels have fitted out
of sight, like the Flying Dutchman, the evil
remains. Empty shipyards, bcSSared mer-
chants. American vessels passing in larger
numbers and at deprecated values dnto for
eign hands, the depression, anu we miSht
almost say the ruin of the shipping inter-
est. have served to fix the blame where 1t
Justly belongs. Tie absurd legislation oil q
Radical Congress has done more to destroy
our commerce than all the risks OF war and
the ravages Of cruisers.
To concillate the iron interest OF PENN
sylvania, heavy duties have been laid upon
foreign plates. The result is, as the Times
confesses, that it costs Us twenty per cent.
more to build an iron vessel than it costs on
the Clyde. Thus Congress has kept the raw
material. out Of which all the large ships
are now constructed, out OF the hands OF the
shipbuilders. But i'll order to satisfy this
class, the merchants were prevented from
buying foreign-built vessels, even for foreign
trade. Thus the supreme legislature OF u
great nation has adopted the policy oil the
dog in the manger. You shall not make the
ships, it has said to the mechanic. You
shall not buy the ships, it has said to the
merchant. And this was tantamount to say
ing to the country, heretofore frst-class
power upon the ocean, you shall have no
ships at all
This is i grievance that cannot and will
not much longer be endured. The people
are taxed enough already. They cannot
afford to pay an additional tax to foreign
shippers for every import and export that
maintains our commercial relations with the
outside world. The raw material needed
for shipbuilding should be imported free Of
duty. And our merchants should have every
facility, as the French merchants do, for
purchasing whatever vessels they need for
the transportation OF products and supplies
across the water. The case is so clear that
even Butler might see it with his other eye.

Aux Arnes!

Governor Scott is still accommodating rifles,
occoutrements and ball cartridges, and not a
week passes that he does not add to his
store. The New York steamer OF Friday is
reported to have brought large conslgn-
ment. and by next summer the State will
have as many Winchester rifles, sets OF ac-
coutrements, and rounds OF ammunition as
are needed for the coming campaign.
There are in Columbia some Radicals bold
enough to acknowledge that Governor Scott
is quietly making ready for the elections
which take place next fall. They avow
their determination to carry the State at any
cost, and declare that they will, il necessary
post detachment of negro soldiers at every
nollne place where Radic9. majority is at
all doubtful. The hopelessly Radical counties
will not be molcsted; but Charleston and the
up-country will be held at the point oil the
bayonet.
When it was suggested to these blusterous
Radicals that the white people might posi-
bly buckle on their swords, shoulder their
rifles. and drive the marauders across the
border of time or South Carolina, the cool
answer was, that ''if The Carolnians could
'.have been made to fight, they would have
''fought long ago.
1t is evident enough that the quiet forti-
tude Of our people has persuaded tue Radi-
cal leaders that South Carolinians will bear
every shame, every insult and every wrong,
rather than
-s:takc arms against sea OF troubles,
And. by opposing, end them

A Dictator Wanted.

The Quakers think the Indians can be civ
ilized. Tie experiment inaugurated by
President Grant has, during the few past
months. been distinguished success. The
commissioners have civilized the wild tribes
by their meckness Couid not tho President
do something OF the same sort for us! Is
there no respectable man, in all this vast
area of States. who has sufficient JudSS-
meMt to be the Dictator OF South Caro-
lima? We prefer 10 be ruled by tyrant
rather than mob. We respectfully ask Of
President Grant and Congress ruler, as wise
and just as those assigned to the Indians OF
OF the Western Reserve. We can save
money by giving to any man but an ass or
a knave-a Sickles or Canby-thc admin
istration of the affairs OF the State. Assign
us 4 Dictator at salary Of one hundred
thousand dollars year, and we can DO bet
ter than we are doing now. We humbly
think that the State OF South Carolina is
worth something TO the General Government.
1t has some intelligence and some resources.
1t can raise some stock, ii the cattle are
protected 1t can produce some cotton, ii
the gin-houses are not burned. But at pres

'caste" can set the torch to any house, or
shoot any animal, or man, or woman, he
p.eases. The Governor and the Legislature
do not concern themselves about such trilles.
Under these circumstances, we respect
fully ask Congress to appoint Dictator Tor

An Expensive Breakfast.

There seems to be IA diversity of opinion
about one of Ceopatra's breakfasts. 1t
was the most costly breakfast that has
ever been served to single human being.
| will, therefore, tell what know about
it. After having partaken Of Cleopatra's s
necklace, Mark Antony determined to de.
wise the costliest necklace ever given.
After several days of gastronouical medi,
tations. not having found what lie was
looking for, he summoned his cook to his
presence, and told him that if he could get
up dainty breakfast for lady, which
should be composed of as few and as small
dishes as possible, and, at the same time, be
most costly, he wouid reward him accord,
ingly;
Several weeks afterwar6, the cook en-
tered Mark Antony's study, ana told him
that he was ready to serve the dainty break
fast asked OF him, and that it was com
posed of onesOliye only. At the appoited
hour, the cook entered the diningroom,
! followed by one hundred men carrying
the olive (in an artificial envelope) on their
shoulders. They deposited it on a table
made for the occasion, and fifty carvers
were set to work on it. After several
hours Of hard work, the triumphant cook
placed the olive before the Egyptian
Queen, who looked at it with amazement,
still with perfect delight.
The olive had been prepared in the fol-
lowing way. After having been stoned, it
was stuffed with itch custard, then put
inside OF boned canary, which was used
to stuff an ortolaq. The latter was placed
inside q bonod orioel, which was used to
stuff thrush, which thrush stuffed boncd
lark. A boned snipe was stuffed with the
lark and placed inside Ui a robin, Which
was used to stuff pover, and which latter
bird filled quail, which was then placed
inside Of pigeon. The pigeon filled q

In order to pre-, ent the killing of fur
seals, which are specially protected by the
law of July, 27, 1868, the Secretary OF
the Treasury, to whom the matter is in
trusted, has issued recent stringent orders
tor the execution of which revenue of,
ticer, sustained by military force, is to be
stationed on each % the islands, of St
Paul and St. George, in Behring's Sea, and
a steamer willcruise in their neigh borhoud.
The seals frequent in numbers only these
islands. and their habits and t;midity are
such as to make neceasary the utmost eau
ton in dealing with them, or they would
be speedily driven from the Territory.
During the seal season guns are not to be
fired, nor dogs permitted on the island, nor
any proceedings that experience has shown
apt to disturb the rookerics, or frighten
and drive the animals away No person
not native ofthe islands will be permitted
to land and remain their unless under au-
thority from the Treasury department !;
and no stores deSsined to be used in aid of
seal hunting can be landed. Spirituous
liquors and fire arms not belonging to the
military are absolutely prohibited, and any
found on the island will be seized. Per-
sons Sihing seals will be arrested and sent
to California, Oregon On Washington Terri
tory for trial. No land claim, on the island
unless prior to the treaty of cession, will
be recognized natives to be treated with
the greatest kindness and consideration,
and in case the stoppage of seal hunting is
likely TO create want among then, food is
to be furnished by the government. These
regulations are to be enforced until Con.
greSs shall make provision by law permit
ting the animals to be killed.
