1t abounds in sparkling descriptions OF the gay
Metropolis by night and day, and the pictures of
celebrities In that wicked but ting city are
perfect. We wander amidst the time halo we'd
monuments Of tho past, are dazzled by The mag

Cafes Of the PALMS Royal, stroll with the merry
crowds along the Bou,ovards, and look on ut

Is nightly danced to the most vouptunus of

pictures for his readers which will be gladly
seized upon and appreciated. There is, however,
no point of any interest that he sights. and
ono may rend this book and easily imagine him
self beholding tho very thing no ronds Of. It is
iorcible illustration of tho old adage, "truth is
stranger than felton," for the author has given
us pictures which, though true TO the life. are so
strange and seemingly full Of romance, that ono
can hardly believe them real But tho book is
for from being an exnggeration. Our readers
will recognize its fairness at once BY the modera

Mr. EDITOR :-The occasion of the
decoration of the graves of our confed
crate soldiers was highly creditable to
all concerned. 1t beautifully demon
strated the gratitude, affection, and pa
triotism of our people. There are few
suggestions, however, which we desire to
make in this connection.
l, Would it not be better to observe
the 10th of May, which is tho day eel
ebrated throughout tho South, rather
than any day previous or subsequent Z
There may, however, be better reasons
than we fancy for the choice of the
2lst instant instead of the 10th.
2. Would it not be we'll for citizens
who have vehicles generously to offer
them on such an occasion. It is true
there is test and proof. of patriotism,
when our ladies plod through the deep
sand of an uushady public road all that
distance, carrying their floral offerings
to the graves of the loved dead, when
the thermometer stands at ninety de
grces in the shade, but would it not be
more fitting for conveyaucos to be pro
vidcd on the part of the Committee of
Arrangements, by an appeal to the
gen nerosity of those who have them7
8. Would not some other day be pre-
fcrable to Saturday? There are two i'm
perative reasons why Saturday should
not be the day chosen. We have large
community of Israelites among US, who
regard the mouldering dust of our fallen
heroes with equal veneration, aud Who
would delight to unite with US in the
mournful duty of paying homage to
their memory, who are barred by religi.
Gus scruples, the day being their sabbath
We know the heart Of our people too
we'll to suppose that they would design
edly como 10 contact with the religious
scruples ofany one. 1t was altogether
matter of thoughtlessness, and certain.
y will never occur again. Another
reason is, that Saturday is the busiues ess
day of tho week, and our merchants, me.
chunics ana professional pen are more
engaged on that day than any other day
Of the week, and thus most of tho
gentlemen were prevented from attend
ing, which accounts for the small propor-
tion of gentlemen, in contrast with the
largo attendance Of ladies'.

A HEAVY BLOW.

The Charleston Courier of the 30th
ult., contains letter from 3. Odell
Duncan, U. S. Consul at Naples, aud
written from Naples under date of April
%, to prominent Republican Of
Charleston, which deals South Carolina
Radicaliam heavy blow. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Duncan was
prominently connected with the forma-
tion of the party in this State, after
wards receiving the appointment to
Naples. He speaks boldly of the
corruptions Of our State Government,
and Of tho pressing necessity which
exists for reform. He says "thc general
character Of our Legislature and Of
"the Legislation in Columbia during the
winter has certainly not been such as
"to inspire me with confidence IN the
wisdom, patriotism, or even ordinary
honesty of those at present controlling
"the State Government and the 'Radi-
"cal' party in South Carolina. Their
"action has been such that I do not
"seo what reason any class Of our peo-
pie can. have for sustaining them"
Again lie says: "No one can regret
more sincerely than do that the Re-
publican party aud the State Govern.
"ment have fallen into such hands as
they have. Neonc can regret more
than I DO the frequent violations of
law by our Executive officers while pre-.
/" "tcnding to defend the law. No one
could be moro shocked than was ut
hearing Of our chief magistrate pub.
licly proclaiminy Winchester rifles
"the best law for great commonwealth.
And no one would more heartily unite
with any honest effort to secure both
our party and our State Government
from the clutches Of those who now
control them" This is plain talk
Tho letter is, throughout, a remarkable
one, as going to show the disrupted and
shackling condition OF Radicalism 10
this State, and hence the expediency and
prac:icablity Of tho Reform movement
now going on, and will be published by
us, entire, next week.
a thorough and active cooperation
of our people at this time, and in the
coming canvass, VIC have but little
doubt, would result in very decided
modification and lcssoning Of the evils
under which we now struggle for very
existence. We do not hesitate to say
that apathy, under such circumstances,
is greatly to bo deplored, aUd We call
upon our people to shake off their
letbasgy, and join with interest and
zeal 10 the great movement now on foot
to wrest the State Govern ment from the
melessiy corrupt hands into which it
hos fallen.

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEM-.
BLY,.
The next Annual Conference will take
place at. Huntsville, Ala.
An enthusiastic foreign Missionary
meeting was held and addressed by the
Rev. j. j.. Wilson, of South Carolina,
Rev. Allen Wright, Of tho Choctaw Ma
tion, and the Rev. B. N. Palmer, of New
Orleans.
The subject ofthe most intense inter.
est on Thursday, 26th ult., was the re-
ception Of the delegates from Northern
Presbyterian churches, consisting of the
Rev. Dr. Backus, of Baltimore; Rev.
DR.. Van Dyke, of Brooklyn, and the
Hon. w. e. Dodge, Of New York. They
presented resolutions Of that Assembly
expressing fraterual regard, and follows
ed them with remarks, in which it was
stated that they came not to ask for re-
union, nor to ask for immediate cores.
poudence, but to ask the appointment
of committee to meet similar com.
mittco appointed by the Northern AS.
sembly, and to confer respecting varied
matters and questions Of jurisdiction and
property rights between the two assem-.
blies, and to secure, if possible, the
adjustment Of all differences between the
two bodies on basis just and honorable
to all, and worthy Of Christian men,
While they were speaking. there was
breathless interest aud deep emotion,
forming scene that will not soon be
forgotten. The kind words of the
speakers evidently found lodgment in
the hearts of those to whom they
were addressed. Tho overtures were
referred to the Committee on Foreign
Correspondence, which was directed to
prepare we'll considered reply.
THE ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTH.
We were recently permitted to mingle
with leading men from every portion of
the South, or, rather, from all tho
Southern States, and thus to be able
to arrive at very satisfactory CON-
clusion in regard to the attitude Of the
South at the present time. We were
struck with the singular unanimity OF
opinion expressed in regard to the
course to be pursued under the Ff-
teenth Amendment, to wit: that the
equal civil and political rights Of the
colored man, under the law, was an ac-
complishcd fact, and that it was both
the part of wisdom aud interest for the
Southern people to realize that fact and
act in accordance thercwith.
KERsHAW MOVING WITH SPIRIT.
The call for mass meeting of the
citizens of kershaw County, to choose
delegates to the Convention, to meet
on the 18th Of June, published in the
Camden journal, is signed by ninety citi
zens, headed by Gen. j. b. KERsHAw.
THE WORKING CHRISTIAN hos been

Tho editor, Rev. T. R. Gaines has asso-
ciated with him, as assistant editors,
Prof Reynolds. D. D. Of Columbia, and
the Rev l.. II. Shuck, pastor ofthe first
Baptist Church in Charleston. This
paper IL destined to become M impor-
tant organ Of tho Church, and by its
removal will have open to it wider
field Of usefulness. The editorial manage
nent in tho hands OF ministers of suoh
ability will add considerably to it's
already large and influential circulation.
