Mn. EDITOR: I observed, few weeks
ago. in the published ptoceelings of the
City ognoil. the Introduce Aonspf ap orr
dinanSs to change the names 81 streets
in the: :scity- those tuning North and
South to be designaged by ynambera and
those running East aud West BY letters.
Now, it is true that this change would
be very convenient, and Ihppe the City
Council will pass such an ordinance,
with GONE amendments, viz: Make no
change in the names of streets running
North and South as they bear the, names
Revolution, and South, Oarolina's noble
dead. Tho objection to q change, as
just referred, does not, I believe, apply
to streets running East and West, except
Blauding street. think it would be q
popular and good measure to change
Lower street to First avenue, and 80 on
up to Northern boundary, changing
Banding street to Blanding avenue.
Who will say it would not be better to
have Plain street cal!ed Fifteenth avenue
and Camden street Sixteenth avenue?
Richardson Tor Main street) ought also
to be chahged to either Capitol street or
Main street.
This change would be of considerable
advantage In another manner, as it would
devise a means for the correct number
ing of houses In Columbia. For instance
Mr.. Agnew's, store, would be No. !, 500
Main Or Capitol street, the Messrs Glib
sons store would be No. 1901. Then how
readily could n stranger land indeed onr
own citizens) ''locate' themselves. Will
Council grant US this, favor?

a NICE PLACE. TO LIVE. "A writer in
Forney's paper, the Philadelphia Press,
begins his article with this paragraph
: !, Il i;''Any one who has lived for any length
Of time Mt. the coal mines must have OBJ
served the mysterious way in which q
man will become marked or doomed who
happens to incur the ill-Will or enmity Of
the mining population. His going ont
and his coming in will bo watched.
Days. weeks, months, nay, even years
may pass away. and the unconscious vic
tim remain in profound ignorance of the
malignant hatred Of which he is the OBJ
ject. All of sudden, in the twinkling
OF an eye, billy descends upon his de-
fenceless head, or bullet, fired, as it
were, by unseen hands, sends him to
eternity"

the place to initiate the Kn Klux bill.

IS SOUTHERN CONSERVATISM. The nicL-
mond WAig, under the head of ''The
One Thing Needful," comments upon
the concern manifested by the New York
World about 'tthe few Southern ultra
lists who refuse to recognize the fact
that negroes are voters. The WAig says:
ssThesei few amount to but little more
than a 6aker's dozen in number, and in
Influence they nre still moro insignifi-
can't" But then, as tho World has ma
infested it's kind interest in the South,
the Whig. with proper gratitude, reci-
procates. calling the IVoyld's attention
to the North. and asks: care oil North
ern Democrats ready to renounce their
old prejudices-quit the narrow Demo
cratic gauge-and even go with zeal for
q liberal Republican, like Trumbull, for
example. if by that expedient only the
republic can be saved? That is the vital
question" The Wig proceeds to de-
clare that while few extreme men in the
South may make extravagant speeches
and supply the enemy with capital, 'sthe
great and controlling mass of tho white
people in the South see their safety and
the preservation of everything approach-
ing free government to be wholly de-
pendent on the expulsion from power of
that party typifed by Morton and But
Ter. They may not, and do not, expect
that the man whom they would prefer
before all others stands any chance OF
/; nomination or election; they will be con.
tent with any one who can and will de-
liver ns from the present despotisn.

DEATH IN Tas Pohprr-S1NaunAR AND

DEATH IN THE POLPTr-SINaUhAR AND
AFFECTING SCENE. The Rev. Benjamin
Eaton. frat and only rector of Trinity

with death while standing in his3 s3tpnlpit.
The Galveston Neios thus describes the
,soene: He ascended the. pulpit. An.
nouncing his text. There is yet room, !"
all trembling beneath the weight Of his
last message, he referred to one after
another OF the friends Of his youth and
the communicants Of his church that had
gone before. He painted death entering
the ohnrch door. passing up the broad
aisle, laying his bony hand to the right
and to the left; breathing his ooid,
claramy breath on the cheek of beauty.
and waiting the silver hairs OF age. Now
touching the father, then the son; here
the mother, there the daughter. as the
spectre 80 plain to his entranced vision
advanced to the cliancel rail, and as he
saw that his time had come, his words
struggled for utterance He FILTERED.
His weakening limbs staggered. gen
t!eman who advanced to his assistance
was waved back. For ten minutes more
he spoke, his words only hubble to those
near him. The excitement Of the con.
gregation was fearful Three times he
struggled to continue, saying: II am
very sick, but must say Again he
staggered. He fell into the arms Of MIR.
G. II. Hughes, Us he raised his hands to
pronounce the hencdiction. Like Moses,
that other servant Of God, lie was too
weak to hold up his hands. which was
done by Mr.. Hughes, as lie said his last
pulpit words, ''To God tho father"
His tongue refused to speak further; his
hands dropped. He was carried to his
rectory, where he died.

RE-RE- REOOEsTRUCT1ON.-M Roose-
velt, whose trenchant pen has done good
service in the cause of the Democracy,
carries his humor into Congress, and
hits the revoldtionists of that body as
follows: ,E
The Republicans themselves seem
little dissatisfied with their own work.
No sooner hld they reconstructed the
South than they set to work to recon
struct it over again. When they had
reconstructed it over again, they did not
like it much more than when they had
done it first, and, therefore, they recon
structed it once more. And this bill is
to reconstruct it for the fourth or fifth
time. The course of the Republican
party in this respect reminds me Of
Prince Paul in the French opera of the
''Grand Dnchcsse." When the prime
minister of his highncss came to the du-
chess and proposed his hand in marri-
age, lie was invited to walk up stnirs,
then along q corridor, then down stairs,
then along other corridors; up more
stairs. along more corridors; down fur
ther stairs. along further corridors; up
further stairs, or, as the French has it:

der0; di0rs re.re-remonter0, II re-redv0n-
cera, IL re-redescendera; alors IL re-re-re.
'nontero, and so forth. That is just about
the way it is with reconstruction. We
first had construction; then reconstruc-
ton; then re-reconstruction; then re-
re.reconstruction; and this bill is rc-re-
re-recOnstruotiOn.

SPLENDID DISPLAY OF GAS FIXTURES
The magnifcence Of rich bronzes and silver
ware in their immediate neighborhood, only
enable the visitor to the State Fair to better
appreciate the splendid gas fixtures on ex-
hibition there by Mr.. John G. Flemming,
gas filter. of No. l44 Poydras street. His
bronze gas stands are as magnificent as the
bronzes which serve no such useful pur-
pose; are just as rich and as beautiful, as
artistically formed, and represent equally
poetic characters. If Mr.. Flemming's dis
play ended here we would say that he de-
served the prize: but these bronzes are not
half Of the remarkable things he shows the
admiring public. There are sets of chande-
liers entirely Of silver and the purest
crystal-tit for the bower of Venus herself
We could never tire Of looking at these as
the sunlight shines upon them and is re-
fected in a thousand prismatic colors.
They are so graceful and yet so grand.
Equally elegant hall lights, backets and
chandeliers are hung around on all sides,
and this display in itself is worth visit to
the Fair.
