RADICAL REVIEWING HIS OWN WORK.
Parker Pillsbury, one of the original abolition
lists, is writing letters from Charleston, 5. e.,
to the Revolution" from which We make the
following extracts:
Push woman suffrage at the North against
all obstacles and oppositlons, spaling nothing,
sacred or profane, that lies in your way. But
meantime We may rest the suffrage question
here, for period, at least, until some much
more elementary culture and elevation Is Sc
cured. He surely must have low estimate oil
the solemn responsibilities of government In
volving the liberty, the person, the property
and life of every individual in that government,
who would force the ballot on thousands and
thousands seen all over the South. And forced
it was on many men, wherever the slaves have
voted as much as were ever their tasks IN the
cotton field. They knew no more and cared
no more for what they did in voting than IL
they were as inlantile in years as they are IN
citizenship and political experience.
"lntemperance here is irlghtiully prevalent,
and the colored people share almost universal
" in the evil. The whiskey here is diabOlical,
and yet they appear to love Ii more than any
thing else, women as we'll as men. They drink
it red hot from the barrel, clean and pure. As
to any idea Of comfortable housekeeping in the
rural districts, and they comprise almost the
whole South, it is all a mystery yet 10 be re-
vcaled even to its first principles.
The ballot maybe the one thing nccdtul
there; but it seems to me, soap, sand, line
tooth combs pots, kettles, chairs, tables, knives,
forks, spoons, decent food, cooking and cloth
ing, glass windows, and even looking glasses,
should at least 90 side by side, if they may not
prcccdc the rights Of suffrage and Of soyer-
eighty"
As the New York Express says, these are
the allies the aristocracy OF the East and West
have created to vote down the labor and The
laborcrs OF both sections.

The isurions Brokers.

The New York Commercial of Tuesday
says: The excitement among the bro
kers in Broad and Wall streets, grow
ing out of the action of the district at
torney in summoning large number of
the leading brokers, stock operators,
railroad directors, bank presidents,
cashiers and others before the grand
jury, continues to be the engrOssing
subject On the street, in the banks, back
parlors and on the stock exchange.
To- day the grand jury were in session,
and had before them several of the lead
ing brokers and bank presidents. The
head of one of the leading banks of the
city, when asked if he had at any time
exacted more than the regular rate of
interest, promptly and unblushing re-
spondGd that he had done so frequently.
One of the jurors inquired if he was not
aware that in doing so he violated the
law; and answered that he was, but that
everybody seemed to regard the law as
a dead letter. This admission ought to
place the bank president in danger of
being indicted for taking usurious in
tcreSt. 1t is evident that the grand
jury have taken up the consideration
OF a matter which will occupy their
time for several days, and the result of
their investigation will be looked for
with much interest. 1t is understood
that indictments have been found
against money-lcnding brokers and
bankers, and that the papers are being
prepared and arrests will be maze to-
morrow and the indicted parties
brought before the court. The jury, ii
is understood, is to pursue the investi-
CATION, and many others may be expect
ed to be indicted"

obserya,iou. on the Transit of Venus.

The Saxon governments has given its
sanction to a proposition of the mathe,
matical and physical class of the Royal
Society of Science at Leipzig, and has
brought a motion before the Council OF
the Bund to the effect that the North
German Bund should grant the neces-
sary funds for equipping sclentltc
expedition for the observation OF the
transit of Venus, which will take place
on December s, 1874. The observation
of this interesting phenomenon is ex-
pected to yield very valuable results
for astronomical science. The English
have already selected several stations
beyond the limits of Europe for this
purpose, and the French Academy has
done the same at the instance OF the
French government.
"The Leipzig Society of Sciences con,
slider it desirable that Germany should
undertake an independent system OF
observation, and that detailed plan OF
operation should be prepared, deter
mining the choice of stations on the
Indian Ocean, Africa, and especially
Egypt, the character of the observs-
tions, the best instruments, and means
of transport. 1t alse suggests that the
e,pedition should be under the protec-
tion of few ships of the North German
navy, though on what ground, except
ON the principle of the more the mer-
rier,, it might be difficult to say"

A Confederate Soldier Not Entitled 10
Damages.

Two cases were tried at Alamance
Superior Court, last week, where three
persons sued the North Carolina Rail-
road Company for damages sustained
by an explosion of powder slowed in
the car in which they were riding,
about the close of the war. Ireland and
Duke obtained damages, the former for
$1,000 and the latter for $4,000. But
the point to which we direct attention
is the decision of Judge Tourgee in the
case of s. S. Turner, who also sued for
damages. The Judge decided that in
asmuch as Turner was Confederate
soldier and on his way to report for duty
to General Johnston's headquarters,
thus violating the law, he was not en-
titled to recover damages from a COM
mon carrier. From this decision the
counsel for Turner appealed to the Su.
preme Court.-Salem (N. c. Press,
