AMERICAN WOMEN.

Tn the Galaxy, for September, Mr.. Richart
Grant White has " characteristic" paper des
cribing three tyes of american women. Hi
sketches of three ladies are very fascinating
and at the end of his article, as has been wei
said, he adroitly knocks Mr.. Justin Mccarthy
down with one hand and picks him up with the
other. He calls Mr. Mccarthy sour Irisl
friend" and that warmly-approylng Irish
traveller" Mr.. White thinks:
| The truth of this question is, that according
| to tho observation of all Americans" who
have had opportunities of comparison, either
abroad or ut home, american" women are
far less interested in or acquainted with poll
tics of their own country, than European wo-
men of equal culture, no matter what their
nationality. American" women abroad are
frequently put TO nonplus by questions about
which their friends there ask them, and sup
pose them to DO able to answer, us matter
of course; and the knowledge OF politics and
the lively personal interest taken IN the polti-
cal, and even in the mere party, struggles OF
the day among English, French, German aud
Italian women, is one OF the social phenomena
with which the travelling American is most
impressed A heavy wager might be safely
laid that of tho women old and young. present
at any large social gathering in New York,
Brooklyn, Albany or Buffalo, not three in ten
could tell the name of the Governor OF the

of the member of Congress from her own dis

il war, the result OF which has been complete
subversion of the Federal Constitution, and an
entire change in the political condition OF the
country, aud which has cost almost every wo-
man in the land the life of ut least one friend
or kinsman; aud Yet like wager might be
safely laid as Ia their knowledge OF the ques-
tons which that war has settled Our amiable
critic may be sure that ho would find that

COLUMBIA, September 1S.
The City Council met yesterday evening, bnt
the committee to whom the Spragus contract
was recommitted, did rot make report but
asked for further tima. They are to report on
Tuesday next.
At meeting OF the Union Reform Club OF
Ward No. l, last evening, Mr.. Nathaniel Barn.
well and Colonel McMaster addressed the Club
in two of the most efficient and powerful argu-
ments Of the campaign. Mr.. Barnwell is one
OF our young and promising members of the
bar, and deserves great credit for the manly
aad mastery manner in which he handled his
subject. Colonel McMaster was followed by
Colonel Thomas. who grew very eloquent In
his plain, honest, soldierly manner, and as is
usual with him, carried his hearers enthusiastic
caIly with him. Chancellor j. P. Carroll, upon
reing called for, arose and pledged himself as
a member Of the Union Reform party. The
Chancellor has Just returned from the springs.
We hope to hear from him shortly. The Ward
No. Club was largely and we'll attended. and
by men who are anxious and willing to work IN
the good cause.
Ihe Radicals. after good deal of drumming
and music. succeeded in getting small crowd
together at their usual meeting tonight. After
this was accomplished. they had to do. as
Major Dlckerson did to get the carpet. bag

arosa, where is Wiggp he Is generally used
at their small meetings, and to put rough

others may smooth it down. 1t gives them an
easier task, and it amt fair on Wigg. LARA.

The LATE coNvENTIoN.-The Hurley-Bowen
Convention, which closed its labors Wednes-
day, Is still the chief topic OF conversation
among the Radicals. Much surprise has been
expressed at the detection Of the Mackeyites
from Daddy Cain, whom they, up to the last
day of the convention, so zealously espoused.
1t is stated that the cause Of this detection was
the offers of Cain to the Bowenites to use his
influence for them If they would give him the
nomination for State senator, and four Of his
friends the nomination Tor the House Of Rep
resentatives. Learning OF these offers, the
Mackeyites made the compromise with the
Bowenites, by which they secured the nomina-
tfon of three OF their friends.
