Egypt and Turkey,

Among the many political difficulties
that are now agitating the old world, the
differences between Egypt and Turkey
have assumed a prominent place. E is
now no longer a secret that both of these
powers are actively preparing for war
For several years past Prussian and French
officers have been busily engaged in Tur-
key, teaching the Ottomans the modern
art of war, and quite recently an agent of
the Viceroy of Egypt has been busily re-
cruiting experienced officers in this coun-
try. Quite number of these have already
left the United States for Egypt, among
whom may be named Col. Rhett, of South
Carolina, who has been commissioned as
Brigadier General. The storm between
the Two powers may burst at any moment,

Ericsson Again.

G7he irrepressible Ericsson, the inventor,
is again in the market. He now claims to
have mado discoveries that will Introduce
q total revolution in naval warfare. These
discoveries are in reference to the working
of torpedoes, and the claim is set forth IN
a recent letter from the inventor to an
English journal. The particulars, as far
as given, arc to the effect that iron clad
boats can be blown UP by means OF tor
pedo projected from another vessel and
the direction and application OF which can
be guided after it leaves the point from
which it is propelled.
This is q bare outline Of the proposed
plan, and may, OF may not prove feasible
when once put into actual execution. Ii
it should be Il success, it will indeed prove
a complete revolution in all naval warfare,
and might, perhaps, be really termed,
discovery in the interests of peace.

On the 8th proximo the people of France
are to vote upon the new Ple6iSctEttm of
the Emperor Napoleon as to whether they
will accept the new constitutional empire.
This PLe6iScititn1 is the result of The long
struggle which has taken place in France
between the Emperor and the nobility on
the one side and the people on the other
and may be regarded in the light of
compromise. of which the iSendtts consult
9t0l is the expression. There is much
speculation on both sides of the Atlantic,
III regard to the result. The situation is
peculiar one, in that, if the proposition
should meet with defeat by the popular
vote, the constitution of the government
will be left as it Is, IN the hands OF Napo-
leon, with the ability to amend resting
solely with the Senate who are, however,
appointees OF the Emperor, and the ma
lority of whom are. therefore, his creatures.
But, strange as it may appear, the most
bitter opposition comes in a curious shape;
from the 'Irreconcilables, " who are OPP
posed to any compromise whatever and
who object to anything and everything that
Will leave even q modioum of political
power ID the hands of the Emperor. It is
impossible to calculate, with any precis-
ion, the result. Napoleon is powerful and
willy, and Yields vast popular influence,
while, on the other hand, the recent dis
orders that have cOnvulsed all France.
throwing thousands upon thousands of
unemployed workingmen on the streets of
Paris may yet result in grand horror and
IN the absolute overthrow Of the Napoleonic
dynasty.

Pacific Railroad.

There is another Pacific Railroad scheme
on foot. The Alabama and Chattanooga
Railroad Company have petitioned Con
gress for aid to extend the line of their
road to the Pacific coast. 1t is proposed
that the new line shall run from Chatta-
nooga to Vicksburg, across the Mississippi,
then through Louisiana, Texas, New Mex
leo, Arizona, and California to San Diego
on the Pacific. A bill has already been in
troduced into the House, asking for gold
bonds at the rate Of ST., 500 per mile for
each section of twenty miles completed,
and the donation of such public lands as
may be necessary for right OF way, stations
and depots.
The bill asks for far less than was
corded the Union Pacific Railroad, but.
unfortunately, being a Southern project,
will hardly command the ear OF our patrio-
tic Congress- If there are, however, any
- fat takes " in the scheme the interest of
some Of our noble carpet-bag Senators and
Representatives may be secured-for q
consideration. In that case Littlefield and
Swepson will probably come to light in
Alabama or Georgia.

Davidson College.

The next annual commencement Of Da-
wilson College will take place on Thurs
day, June Both The Grafton before the
two Literary Societies will be delivered by
Judge A. L. AldricI. of Barnwell District,
s. c., on Wednesday at IL o'clock A. M.
The name Of Judge Aldrich will be familiar
to many, who will remember that he was
the man who refused to serve as Judge IN
South Carolina during the reign of King
Candy, declaring that SO far as he was
able he would keep unspotted the ermine
of the Judiciary.

born somewhere in the neighborhood OF
Plymouth Rock.
One would think that in IL State where
so much cant has been SO often INDUCED
in of liberty of conscience and free men
and a free ballot, there would be fewer
restrictions placed upon the use OF the
franchise than anywhere else. But, the con
trary, it seems, is the case, the develop
ments being recently made to the news
paper world on the late debate in the
Massachusetts, House of Representatives
On the proposition to extend the right OF
suffrage to women. It was then asserted
that one-fifth of the present voting popu-
lation of that State is at present excluded
from the polls. The total number of in
habitants entitled to the ballot is two hun
dred and ty-thousand one hundred and
twenty, while, on account of property and
educational qualifications in the cOnstitu-
ton of the commonwealth, there are fifty
five thousand and fifty persons excluded
from the ballot.
An effort was made, on the occasion re-
ferred to above, to do away with these re-
strictions, but the proposition was voted
down by very decided vote NINETY
eight to fifty mine, while woman suffrage
met the same fate by vote of one hun
dred and thirty-three to sixty eight.
So, ninety-nine one-hundreths of the
negroes in the South would meet with but
small political favor in Massachusetts,, as
the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment is practically nullitied by the restrict,
ing clauses of the Constitution of the
State, for, unless q man can read and
write and can pay his taxes, he cannot
vote anywhere within the borders of that
great palladium of liberty.
These facts carry with them their own
conclusions. State, within whose limits
has originated so much of relentless hos
tility to the South, refuses her humber
classes the right to be heard at the ballot
box. Her honorable sons, Sumner in the
q. S. Senate and Beast Butler i'll the
House, have been foremost in the Crusade
to place suffrage in the hands of the ig
norant field hands of the South, while they
know that the State they represent refuses
it to one-ffth of her entire male popula-
ton. Let the people of the country pom
der these things.

Now win 1t all End :

| In November, 1868, simultaneously wit
| the Presidential election, Louisiana vote
for five members of Congress, the Demo
cratic candidate for each Of the five dis
tricts being elected by large majorities
| Up to this writing-mOre than year AM
la half since the eiection-not one of thos
members elect have been able to secure
recognition from the ruling party In Con
gress. On the contrary, Sheldon, The
Radical candidate from the Second dis
trict, has already been admitted to u seat
| although he was defeated at the ballot
box by more than 10000 majority
The seat from the First District wa
few days since awarded to Sypher
the Republican candidate, and, although
this action was shortly afterwards rescind
ed, yet the seat was declared entirely va
cant, Notwithstanding the fact that st.
Martin, Democrat, could count a clean
majority of II, 1927 votes.
On Monday, in the House, TIE telegraph
tells us, Mr.. Burdett, from the Election
Committee, reported, in the case from the
Fourth Louisiana district, that Newham,
Republican, was entitled to the seat, not
withstanding q majority Of 5.969 for Ryan,
Democrat. In this instance the farce OF
Wednesday last may be ENACTED, solely
with the view of having the Fourth dis
trict declared vacant, as was the case with
the First. When an adjudication may be
had on the claims from the Third and
Fifth districts, it is now impossible to tell.
Only, from the past record OF the House
we know that it will not be done, SO long
as there is the lightest chance OF the legiti-
mate members elect, obtaining justice at
the hands OF Congress.
Party policy, and not poll zeal justice, is
the rallying cry Of the Radical members
No one is sanguine enough, for moment,
to suppose that one of the legally elected
Democrats will be able to obtain his
seat SO long as there are claims of preten-
tious Radicals to oppose them. It would
endanger the Republican party to admit
goes forth Election statistics are as moth
ing the claims of the people are moth
ing. The Congress of the United States
is both omniscient and omnipotent, and is
supposed to know the requirements Of the
people better than they do themselves,
and 60. with an impudence without par
alleJ, they cool!y set aside the valid claims
If the duly elected and place over them
heir carpet-bag and scallawag opponents,
egardless of the voice of the ballot box.
Yet, the South is powerless and must
ubmit. If relief should ever come it must
oe from the North, and not until those of
he Northern States shall feel the despots
heels on their own necks will they know
what it is that the South has endured for
20 many long and weary years.

Gen. S.-What State are you from, Mr..

Gen. S.-But, mean, in what State
were you born ?
Mr.. ST was born and raised in Ala

Gen. Sob, then, you are a scaIawag,
I suppose.
Mr.. S.-No, sir, I'm q Democrat.
Gen. S-BuG didn't know they sent any
OF that kind here from the South.
Mr. Swell, you see they have got
rather sick of the other kind, and they
are going to try the Democrats You
used to be Democrat, believe, General,
and it's my opinion that those who have
once been Democrats never get over it
again.

War with SDa1n

TIE "bears and I" bulls OF wall
street made desperate attempt to get up
steam last Thursday, but met with an ig
nominious failure. They flooded the streets
with the rumor that Cabinet session had
been called in regard to making war against
Spain. They even went farther than this,
as bogus dispatches, purporting to be from
Admiral Porter, were received at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard and at Charlestown,
ordering every available vessel into COM
mission, as war with Spain was ineVita-
BILE. The fraud was soon discovered, and
it is to be hoped that the like success will
be had with the perpetrators, and that
they may be brought to a merited punish

Bolamo, on the coast of Africa, with a
portion of the main land, in which he had

thus settling an international dispute OF
forty years standing. The value of the

The MOrnlOnS

1t is said that the Mormons have de
termined to resist, by force of arms, il
need be, Any attempt upon the part of the
Government to enforce the recently enac-
ted laws in regard to polygamy. War is
destructive and makes many weeping wild
ows, but the question in this instance is,
considering the fact of the great plurality
of wives, whether war or peace in the en-
forccment or the laws will make the great
est number of widows.
