The Norman Face.

Tho beauty Of the Norman's is a
problem all over the world. Nor has
the universal admiration which. has
been bestowed upon it in the slightest
degree exaggerated it's lofty and OK
quisite character. The mon in their
way, arc as handsome rs the women.
Thoy have the fine oval face, sedatc,
bright eyes, and clear complexion of
tho old race: You look in vain for
evidence of their Toutonic descent in
these sculptured features, the skin
and hair alone suggesting n reminis-
cence of their Saxon ancestry. Tho
women arc remarkable for the natu-
raj dignity of their carriage, which
barmonizes strilsingly with their tall
and commanding figures, and the
gravity and reserve Of their express
ions. Like the mon, their faces arc
oval, with the. slightly alquilino nose
large, flashing eyes, and curved lips.
Their complexions arc pcculialy trans
parent, tho checks mantling over with
a blush rich in color, but delicate in
its diffusion. A smile sits in their
eyes, but tho most exquisite observer
can not detect in their looks or man.
ners Tho slightest indication Of Icvity.
A sweet seriousness is their prcdomi-
nant characteristic. 1t is strange
enough to enough to an Englishman
to mcct.groups of these people, men
and women, reproducing before his
eyes that famous Norman head with
which all are so familiar. 1t carries
you back ut once to the eleventh GEN.
tury. Wherever he turns he secs, as
in a magic glass, William tho Con-
qucror moving up the streets and
highways.

Common Salt.

Prof Roscoe, in lccturing on the
"Spectrum Analysis" presents some
things which will be of interest espe.
cially to such of our readers as are of
scientific bent Of mind.
There is not speck of dust, or q
mote in the sunbeam, which does not
contain chloride Of sodium (the scienti-
fic name for. common salD. Sodium is
tho prevailing element in the atmos-
phere. We are constantly breathing
in portions of this elementary sub
stance together with the air which
we inhale. T Two thirds Of the carth's
surface is covered with salt water,
and the fine spray which is being con-
tinually carried up into the mir evap-
crates, leaving tho minute specks of
salt which we see dancing in tho SUM-
beam. If I clap my hands, or if I
shake my coat, if / knock this
dusty book, I think that you will OBJ
serve that this flame becomes yellow
This is not because it is the hand or
coat of chemist, but simply because
the dust which everybody carries
about with him is mixed with sodium
compounds. IF I place in the color
loss fame this piece Of platinum wire
which has been lying on the table for
few minutes since I heated it red
hot, you see there Is sodiam in it;
there we havo for ono moment the
glimpse of a yellow flame. If I heat
the wire in tho fame, the sodium
salts will all volatilize, and the yellow
flame will quite disappear but if:
now draw this wire once through my
fingers. you observe the sodium. fame
will, on heating, again appear. If ]
heat it again, and draw it through
my mouth, it will be evident that the
saliva contains q very considerable
quantity of sodium salts. If T leave
the wire exposed here, tied around
this rod, so that this, end does not
touch anything for ton minutes or q
quarter Of an honr, I shall obtain the
sodium reaction again, even if the
wire be perfectly free, This is be.
| cause sodium salts. pervade the ut.
mosphere, and. some particles Of .sodi.

Tho Saturday Roview, speaking ot
Mr.. Bright's "Woman's Disabilities
Bill" says: "It is nonsense to ring
tho changes on Florence Nightingale
and Harriet Martineau, whom what is
meant is woman in tho consulting
room and dissecting-room, woman il
Parliament, woman in tho pulpit, wo
men at the bar, y omen on the jury
women free, not only.to contract, but
TO dissolve tho marriage tic as they
please. And it is not so much non
sense to say that because we do moi
permit women to 60 TO tho polling
booth, therefore, in England, wo only
class them with fclons, idiots, lunaticf
outlaws and minors. Mr.. jacob
Bright has often avowed that he
wants to assimilate our sociastate tc
that happy land, tho home of free
love and tho Sorosis; but to assist this
blessed state of. things; it is simply
dishonest for any one to say that En-
glish women are now no botter of
than she-Turks."

Tho bill which passed the Senate
after a.continuous session of eightcen
hours, to cnforcethe Fifteenth amend.
mont, is of such stringent character
that it is not acceptabloito tho author
of the original measure which passed
tho House, and when it is taken up
there non-concurrence will be moved
Ono of the remarkable features of tho
bill is contained in tho 9Th section,
which gives tho United States mar
shals tho power to call on the land
and naval forces Of tho United States
to assist them in case of resistance
Even Republican members of the
House declare that this provision is
such a palpable violation Of The con.
stitution, that they will not vote for
it. A modified bill, merely imposing
pains and penalties, for preventing 6
colored persons from voting, is -likely
to come out of this disagreement be.
tween the two houses.

Attempted Bribery.

The report of the select Senate
committee on Bullock's briberies to
induce tho Senate to hand Georgia
over to him and his harpies for the
two years after the expiration of their
present torn says: GAS thcro is no
law for furnishing such attempts, they
must be left, and perhaps it is best
they should. be left, to tho Judgment
of an enlightened and just public sem
timcnt, which will not fail to visit
with it's condemnation any attempt,
by the use of improper means, to in
fluencc the votes of Legislative bo-
dy."
We cannot agrcc with the commit
tco. 1t is true, there is no law to
punish such attempts at bribery as
havo been proven on this fellow; but
that is because tho fathers of tho re-
public did not conceive there would
ever arise the cxigcncy when men,
bcrs of Congress would bo sold like
flesh in the shamblcs, and because at
later days the men who constituted
the Scnatc-tho Wcbstcrs, Calhouns,
Clays, and SO on-would have thrown
a bribc at tho tcmptcr's head, oven if,
being mostly large men and of q hot
temper, they had not anointcd him
with q stick; but times have changed
lattcrly, as the loil never tire Of tell
ing u.s. A new era has dawncd, they
say; and VIC can we'll believe it, in
view of the dctcstablc dishonesty tho
reign of great moral ideas has brought
in its train. Tho committee to the
contrary notwithstanding, there is
needed law to prevent or punish at
tcmpts at bribery, and the sooner it
is enacted and put to work, especially
on the Senate, the better. That body
is stuffed with men who know they
have no moro just right there than
any Patagonian; and men who will
thus knowingly receive pay and per-
quisitcs to which they arc not entitled
arc none too good TO sell their votes.
He who will receive money under
false prctenccs will take bribe. Tho
animus is the same, and the manifes.
tation a mere matter Of indifferent
form. It adds to this view to know
that the only members of the commit
tee who sought to whitcwash this
pcstilcnt trickster, and shamelessly
declare that "Govcrnor Bullock acted
honorably and fairly throughout the
whole controversy" arc two surrcpti-
tious Senators of this very breed
one as very an upstart and usurper rs
the pretended Governor of Georgia
himself, and the other sitting by vir-
tue of IN impudent fraud that tho
people will yet undo:
The genuine members Of tho Sen
ate, and these number something over
a half-at least enough to carry such
measure-should Immediately set
on its passage law to prevent or
punish attempts Of this kind. It is
not worth while to be too virtuous,
and make tho law so stringent that it
will not be enforced; but give it q
good workable sanction, severe enough
to we'll punish offenders, and not 80
rigid as to tempt undctected thieves
to risk discovery rather than condemn
their loss fortunate cronies. Tho
State of Illinois has just, in tho con.
stitution framed by her sovereign
convention, inserted Q, stringent inter
dict on bribery, and Congress is sure
ly not so ineffably pure that it cannot
heed the lesson taught by that action.

WHY lie BECAME A SENATOR.
And when any senator charges that
the political course on this floor of
another senator would bo controlled
by the consideration of tho question
Of his reelection, it is an aspersion
upon his integrity rs senator, and
an implication that he will violate his
oath us such. When a senator allows
his official senatorial conduct here to
be governed by such motives as those,
it is better that his place should be
filled by another man; and let mo say
that do not hold the seat l occupy
here because I would have sought the
place which do hold, nor would I
have held it or have been q candidate
for it, but for the fact that I desired
to keep out others who were even
less fit to be hero than myself and
that could select in my State many
men at that timo who, if it had not
been for these very disabilities impos-
cd by the Fifteenth amendment,
would have stood on this floor much
ADLER advocates Of the principles of
tho Republican party, much stronger
men for the State of South Carolina,
and for tho United States, than l can
ever hope to be.
PRESCRIPTION PLAYED OUT.
But Mr.. President, 1 did not rise
to speak at any length on this bill. I
believe, as said when I began, that
the speech of the senator from Con-
necticut but re-echoes the sentiments
of the vast majority of the people of
the Republican party; and 1 believe
that the acutcness of the senator from
Indiana has in this instance failed
him, and that he has not sufficiently
studied the sentiment of the party Of
which he is SO distinguished On orna-
mont. [ think that when the people
speak on this subject, he will find that
he represents not that majority which
might have tho right to read minor
ity out of it's ranks, but that he stands
in minority which may rather ask
to be admitted to the orthodox plat
form of the party.

The Famous Field Of Manassas.
Correspondence of Charleston NeDs.
MANASSAS Va Nav

MANASSAS, Va, May s.
:. Could one of Bonham's men stop
today on the plains of Manassas, he
would not recognize the old site of
Camp Pickens, nor the old base of
supplies Of the Army Of Virginia.
Wonderful changes have occurred in
the appearance Of this region during
the past decade; lhetamprphoses with
out parallel in American history. A
traveller, just before the war, speaks
of the town as consisting Of q low
wooden depot, a dingy saloon, and q
half dozen of houses, on a broad and
monotonous plain. When General
Bonham came up this way in 1861,
he saw tho strategic value Of the juno
ton of the railroads, and rested here
with his three South Carolina regi-
ments, while the flames of Secession
were cracking nll over the South, and
thousands after thousands of recruits
came fiocking into the nucleus-poin
of Camp Pickens. Men came out
from frightened Washington, three
hundred ut ono time, to join the gath
ering army, until finally the Palmetto
flag was. exchanged for tho standard
OF the Confedcracy, or carried side
by side with it. just as The opposing
Pine-troe flag Of Massachusetts was
borne with the other standard. There
was great population suddenly trans
ferred to these quiet fields, from city
and hamlet and farmhouse Of the
South, sternly andspatiently prepar-
ing for coming day, how soon none
could know, when the dread arbitra-
tion of war would, decide their; cause.
When that day came, it was an excl
ting one in the new city Of canvas.
Its guards and garrison joined the
columns retiring from Centreyille, on
the banks of Bull Run, and all through
that long, hot Sabbath of midsummer
! the roar Of cannon and the crash of
musketry rolled across the plains to
the ears Of the provost men, and the
number of wounded came pouring
thicker and faster from the field, un.
til all accommodations were full.
Then came that fearful moment when
three or four shattered regiments
dame drifting through the fields and
reads in q: great cloud Of fugitiyes
broken and disheartened; probable
precursor Of q general route. A train
tst0pped far above the3 junction
zey's men pour out Of it-form, and
Bweep across the fields; and the r1nt

THE COMING COTTON.

In reference to the ridicule which some
journals are endeavoring to cast on the
estimate of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture at Washington, in which he places cot
ton at fifteen cents the coming season. it
may be well to remark, without indorsing
the estimate, that inasmuch as the Com
missioner is the only person in the United
States who is in monthly receipt of
reports from all parts of the Union
concerning the condition and quantity
of crops, and. makes special stndy
of the subject, aided by a corps of
statistical clerks and experienced agri-
culturists, his opinion, at least, is en-
titled to respectful consideration, for the
presumption il, that it is the result of
careful calculation.

The Planters Banner says in reference to
recent paragraph in the REPUBLICAN, that
F. N. Campbell, who passed through here a
few days since in charge of Sheriff Mentz,
on his way to the Insane Hospital, was at
his sisters house on Bayou Sale, six miles
from Franklin, the evening, and the hour
and minute Pope and Chase we're killed;
and no one in St. Mary even admits posi-
bility that MIR. Campbell could be one of
the party who committed the act alluded to.
The Banner adds:
Mr.. Campbell has led for many years a
reckless life, and has, at times, been ad-
dicted to intemperence. Whisky, more
than anything else, has been the cause of
all his troubles, and his loss of reason.
This everybody knows who is acquainted
with him. He was born and raised in the
parish of St. Mary.
