THE JOCKEY CLUB DINNERS AND BALLS.
mThe Jockey Club" says writer of an arti-
Gle in Harper's Monthly, entitled 1.-THE Turf
in America" ''increased in strength as the
wears went by, and, up to the breaking out OF
the war caused by the firing on Fort Sumter,
the history of the Washington Course was his
tory of uninterrupted success. The races were
the fashionable event of the year, and the race
week was one of gayety and royal display
But one meeting wasi held each year: always
commencing on the first Wednesday In Feb
ruary and continuing throughout the week.
On wednesday the Jockey Club gave their an
nual dinner-a dinner which brought together
all the choice, convlvlal spirits Of the State;
and Friday evening was set apart for great
Jockey Club ball. No expense was spared in
the effort to make this ball the social event OF
the season, and success always attended the
effort. Bright, very brightis the picture; but
the brightness faded when Beauregard rallied
the people around his standard and rode forth
TO battle. Charleston suffered terribly, as we
all know, by the war; and now the glory OF
the South Carolina Jockey Club and the Wash
ineton Course is feature ofthc past"
BRIGHT DAYS AHEAD.
During the late war many Of the members
of the Jockey Club were numbered among the
slain, others fell by disease, and at the close OF
hostilities there remained only few of those
whose exertions kept alive the interest In the
turf in South Carolina These have recently
reorganized the club and determined that in
February next there shall be a race and gath.
ering on the old Washington Course, which, Il
not so brilliant as those In the past, will
at least be OF such q nature as to encourage all
to renew their exertions to restore the Interest
in the turf, which in former years made trace
| week iu Charleston truly a season of hospi-
talIty, merriment and open-heartedness, bring
ing around an epoch of social delight"
The officers of the club are Charles T
Lowndes, president; ]. l.. Manning, Vice-pres
ident; E. P. Milliken, secretary J. c. Cochran
treasurer; Theodore G. Barker, solicitor; l.. D
Desaussure, resident steward; W. Il. huger

POTATOES AND IEANUTS.-DUrlng the de-
bate on the tariff il the House Com mittee O. the
Whole on Friday
Mr.. Peters of Maine moved to increase the
duty to % cents per busbel, the present rate,
and regretted that the committee of ways and
means should resort to the ''Small potato
business of giving Maine slap in the face for
the benefit of the New Brunswick farmt rs.
Mr.. Butler of Massachusetts opposed the
amendment. Potatoes were the main STAY OF
the poor man, and he was not for increasing
the cost of the poor mans food A duty Of
10 cents per bushel was nearly equal at some
tunes, to 100 Fer cent. ad valorem.
Mr.. Farnswoit til OF Illinois sustained the
amendment. The committee had Just raised
the duty on oranges for the benefit of Florida.
and he did not see why they should not do the
same for potatoes which were the oranges o
Maine. [Laughter.l
Mr.. Peters of Maine argued that to give to
the British trovences advantages from low
duties on their chief products would retard OF
prevent that movement OF annexation, now SO
active there, because these provinces must
either lie annexed to the American Union OF
die.
Mr.. Hale Of Maine argued that the duty on
potatoes was not too much, compared with
other duties.
Mr.. Hoar OF Massachusetts OF posed an in
crease of the duty
Mr.. Peters pointed cut the inconsistency of
the Massachusetts members, who having got
all the high duties they wanted on shoes, cot
ton manufacturers, farmers toois, &c. now
opposed the interest of the farmers of Maine.
Such course was little-that ola sucker -
The question on potatoes was really the ques-
ton between the State of Maine and the Com
monweaith of Massachusetts.
The amendment was agreed to, and the duty
on potatoes was fixed at Is cents per bushel.
The duty on peanuts unsheled was fixed at
two cents per pound, and on peanuts shelled
at three cents per pound. after which the COM
mittee rose

| The RESULT OF THE VoTE-A Paris dis
patch to the Tribune of Saturday says: The
result OF the plebscitum disappoints all parties
The Republicans and others of the opposition
| are surprised at the number of affirmative
| votes, for they expected not more than 100000
or 5000 900; but though saddened they are not
discouraged. They have fought herocally for
eighteen years against imperial despotism, and
their warfare will never cease until they are
successful. The large affirmative vote in Paris
was also unexpected; but on the other hand
the great number who voted "No'' in the army
equally surprises and aarms the Emperor.
The only man entirely content with the result
is Olivier, whose measureless vanity pnrsuades
him that the majority for the plebisclum is
ratification of his administration. But the
true meaning of the vote is far different The
Emperor's proclamation demands Yes" as a
new proof of Frances confidence in himself,
aud means of facilitating the transmission of
the crown to his SOD. The great affirmative
majority, so far oS 1t aoGS not fraudulent, did
undoubtedly mean that, aud nothing else 1t
