sum Of $50, 600, that although Gov. Sem

POTATOES. The Richmond Wing states
that the crop of potatoes in that section
this year is tremendous, and comments
ing upon the recent sales in Baltimore at
fifty cents per barrel, says:
1.-THE best thing that growers can do is
to Gull their potatoes, that is, pick out all
the small and mediumssized ones and
sell them for the best price that hog
raiseIs will pay. This w reduce the
aggregate quantity. Then offer the large
potatoes at such low prices that cons
sumers will be tempted to purchase
largely. Take ten or fifteen cents per
peck and get rid OF your surplus, rather
than keep the market depressed by
slowly diminishing stocks"

4 MAN Killed by a Singular Freak in

the following particulars of a singular
case which occurred near that place lately:
A few days since ron of Mr.. Wash
Cooke, Of this county, was at work with
wheat thresher in field threshing wheat,
when the machine was permitted to run at
great speed for a considerable space of
time, which resulted in the cylinder or
trundle head, as it is sometimes called, ex-
ploding with noise equal TO the report of
a six FOUNDER, bursting it into pieces. The
Young man was struck down almost life.
less. His flesh became black and 40 soft
that it would rise up in a spongey and
pulled condition between the fingers, with
only the pressure of the weight of the
hand. He lived little over iwenty-four
hours and died.
The fact is detailed above as it occurred.
We must acknowledge however, that we are
not scientific enough to account for this
extraordinary generation Of electricity,
| That it should have caught fire by the
excessive friction produced by the great
| velocity Of the motion is not unusual, but
| in this case there was no fire attending the
| explosion, only report and the shiyered
| fragments of the cylinder and the stricken
form of the young man, with mt a scratch
or bruise upon his bOdy-but completely
hIac kened and life well nigh extinguished
| in a tNinkliDg.

BROWNS SPEECH.

Gov. Senter have the honor, in behalf
Of this large assembly of people before
you, to bid you welcome on your return
from your home to this capital; and, sir,
this reception which is now rendered you
is something more than a mere pageant.
1t is fitting homage to the great princi-
pies which underlie our system of gov
eminent. You have been an earnest adj
yocate and successful vindicator of the
great cause of universal suffrage. Cheers
You have been the friend of this
down.trodden and oppressed people,
and they have responded to your APP
peals in a voice louder than the
artillery of heaven that peals and echoes
along your ltive mountains. You have
had the honor of being the standard bearer
and we have had the fortune to sustain
YOU in the attempt TO reinforce the great
doctrine that taxation and representation
must 60 together. Loud applause The
people have responded to you in manner
remarkable and unparalleled in the history
of the country. What means that large
vote which was polled upon the 9Th day of
| August, 1t was no party affair, it was no
| drill, it was no mass of people brought up
| BY leaders and by drums and lies. 1t was
| the inspiration of principle. The agony
is now over and the result Of
| this election restores us all to
our manhood, and inspires US with new
love for the State and the country. Let me
say further, that there is more true glory
| in the achievements of such a victory than
there is in all the bloody trophies of the
hideous::battlefield, For glittering scepters o.
a kingdom. Your service. sir, has broken
the chains that bound the limbs of one
hundred thousand people in Tennessee
loud cheering and they clap their handi
before you and thank you, for thes'
people are not ungrateful. The sur

has passed away. and that same brigh

In season for the opening Of the Gcumenical
Council" The New York Sun says: "An
incident occurred on Friday last in the Fifth
Avenue HOTEL which, though trivial IN
itself, affects the religious status of the eccle-
siastical lion of this city, Pere Hyacinthe. On
the afternoon of that day the distinguished
Father walked with his usual dignity from his
parlor to the magnificent dining hall OF the es-
tablishment, and, having taken chair at the
festive board, hurriedly glanced at the Dill OF
fare. It was a critical moment for the ex-Car-
melite, for hundred eyes were upor him and
as many ears were open. The Catholics around
him expected and hoped that he would stand
by his old faith and call for flsh-Dut he didn't

The violation of this positive r6ie of church
discipline on the part of the great preacher OF
Notre Dame has been the subject of much quiet
comment in the hotel, and 1t is regarded by
Catholics and Protestants alike as an indica-
ton that Father Hyacinthe will soon bid good
by to his former faith"

The Councn.

We have become at last thorough disciples
| of the MI udnirart school. With cor
rupt Governor, a venal Legislature, and
time-serving judiciary, we may well have
the City Hall bar-room and the Council
Chamber a shooting saloonl OF what con-
sequence is it that one Alderman shoots at
another when, in the words Of Mr.. Lincoln,
there is "nobody hurt" At all events it is
more decent to burn powder, than to bias
pheme and steal.
The present Mayor and Aldermen have
been in Office about six months. They
fought and wrangled from November to
Nav, and when the courts decided in their
favor it was hoped that they would have the
decency to all their pockets quietly.
Alas! for the vanity of the hopes of de-
cent people. The Pillsbury Council tore
down the portraits of Lee and Jackson
which hung on the walls Of tie Council
Chamber, and then, unrestrained by the
memory Of the dead or the thought OF the
living, pitched discretion to the dogs and
cursed and raved their fill. The next move
wasthe election Of all the sons and nephews
and step-sons Of the Aldermen and Mayor
to the city offices made vacant for them.
Then came the creation OF new offices to sat
isfy the cravings OF the Council and their
friends. Still as the Aldermen settled into
their seats and felt the reins of power, they
fell out among themselves and refused to be
pacifed. Wine and whiskey were invoked
to still their angry passions, and the burning
liquors provided in the City Council for the
comfort and delight of the Aldermen were
expected to be as oil upon the raging waters
of Radicalism. At each meeting OF Council
the grog-shop in the ante-room had full
sway, and on Thursday night it was intended
to celebrate the passage OF the petroleum
"bill" ia bumpers Of champagne. The cal
culations of the thirsty Aldermen were de-
ranged by the ruffianism OF one OF their body,
who amused himself by shooting with an
an army revolver at another Alderman-the
County Sheriff and his own nephew. This
Alderman, who made himself conspicuous
by his choler and inaccuracy, has from the
first been the most violent member OF the
Board. 1t was he who made Council con-
temptible in its first meetings, and he will.
it is presumed, do the same to the last.
All that we care for is to have it under
stood that the present Council in nowise
represents the respectable citizens OF Charles
ton. The Mayor and Aldermen have the
power to bleed the city as they please, and
will doubtless do it. But they cannot make
us, as themselves, both ridiculous and de-
graded. We looked for nothing better
than what they have given us. And when
we CRY out against Pillsbury and his Alder
men, we should always remember that little
exertion and energy in the elections OF last
November would have saved old Charleston
from all this turmoil and shame.

bid each other to obtain work. Thus capi-
tai RECEIVERS it's lost ground, the labor-rate is
resumed, and the ringleaders Of the strike
are obliged to leave the country for want OF
employment. Such has been the expert
ence of the English operatives. The vari-
GUS combinations, often tumultuous and even
violent, which have sought to fix an artl-
fetal scale of prices, have proved but
mere eddy upon the broad, deep stream OF
the national prosperity. In all the depart
ments of industry an inexorable law, the
law of supply and demand, has prevailed
like decree of fate.
Mr.. Buckle calls attention to the fact that
the Revolution in England which eliminated
and collapsed in the Protectorate of Crom-
we'll was more of an industrial than po-
litical movement. The like remark may be
made in reference to the French Revolution.
1t is suggestive circumstance that each OF
these national labor-strikes resulted in a
personal government, which crippled labor
and exiled liberty itself.
In Charleston strike just now is, as we
have intimated, most unfortunate. AS Adam
Smith has abundantly shown, an increase OF
wages is absolutely dependent upon, and
must be in proportion to, the increase Of
funds from which the payment is to be
drawn. Where the revenues of business
and the stock invested in it are limited, the
wages of the labor employed must of neces-
sity be lower than in the wealthy establish
ments of iourishing community. To sug-
gest New York prices as q standard for
Charleston is simply preposterous. We are
just beginning to live; capital is not abun-
dant; the profits of trade are uncertain;
men of the highest accomplishment and char
acter are reduced to r"laries which satisfy
the necessaries of life, out afford little more.
The season is not auspicious for strike.
And if it were, might not Captain Stoddard
and his obsequious cohorts Of longshoremen
prudently and modestly wait-until their
betters were served?
There were, we doubt not, exceptional
cases of grievance represented in the recent
movement-cas where wages were not re-
munerative and where the industry needed
special recognition, because it required the
labor of the brain as well as the hand. 1t
was an unfortunate circumstance, however,
that the most inferior kind of labor was the
most clamorous in its demands and the
most riotous in its demonstrations; that it
is Radical League with Radical leader
and Radical ward who have presumed,
in the name of the laboring class, to demand
the control of the wharves and shipping OF
Charleston. 1t will not take long to settle
this business.
