4 Washington special to the ST. Louis
Democrat, dated 18th, says
" Captain Donovan, Of the 18th in
fantry, was to-day ordered back to duty
at Fort Rio, under the most curious
circumstances. Tie arrived mere q few
days ago, under guard, as an insane
person tor commitment 10 the Asylum.
A very briel investigation showed that
he had been made a victim of o con
spiracy.
It appears that Captain Sawyer,
commanding mt the font, had become
involved in a case that required the
services of Surgeon GODDARD Mt that post
to prevent disclosure. Captain Dono-
van became acquainted with the facts,
ana spoke OF the matter as a crime.
Fearing that he would disclose the
scandal, Sawyer and the surgeon en-
tered into o conspiracy TO get RID OF
Donovan. The surgeon made out
certificate that he was insane, the com
handing officer forwarded it with his
approval, and at the end OF two months
it had passed down through all the
headquarters 10 Washington, and an
order for his conveyance to the Asylum
here was issued. All this time Dono-
van vas on duty. and knew nothing OF
The move against him, On his arrival
hers. being personally acquainted vita
tins Aiiutant General, he Was at once
released and ordered TO his company.
No further action has been taken ID the
case.

MAKING An OMELETVE.
From the French by oastaye Droa.

Tie rain had been falling all day,
and, tired out, had turned into the sort
of mist that rises from the meadow at
evening. We had just dined baby,
who had fallen to sleep at dessert, had
gone 10 bed, and we two, Louise and /,

looked refined and delicate, with all

panhandle from the old woman said,

The good woman let go with a smile,
and Louise found herself alone, in the

fort she was biting her lips, probably
to increase her strength.

Abou, u Carpet Dagger.

The New York Neps prints the following
pointed and sensible comments upon the
posing action of Mr.. DeLarge and Mr..
carpetbagger Elliott upon the amnesty
bill
.At this. late day It would be neither pleas
ant nor profitable to demonstrate the aoknowl-
edged truth that the Radical Congressman
from the Southern States represent neither
the intelligence nor the wealth of their res
pecsive districts. It i, however, a curious
circumstances that q negro carpetbagger,
true 10 The instl acts If bis class, should seize
the very first opportunity OF proving himself
a wholly unworthy spokesman Of even his
own peculiar peepte.
"south Carolina has q liberal constitution.
No man Is DISTINGUISHED. Wade Hampton is
as free TO vote az one or his old negroes. There
is, moreover, no disqualification for office ex-
cept that imposed by the Constitution Of the
United States. We'may add that the temper
Of the. seuth Carolina colored people, who
have a voting majority Of 80. 900, Is thoroughly
in favor Of the Acknowledgement Of every
rebel in the country.
"Three of the Congressman from South
Carolina are colored men. R. D. Elliott, the
member from The Third District, is, to use a

ly against Mr.. Beek's BIZ. for. the remoVa$of
the political disabilities imposed BY the FouE-
teenth amendment to the Constitution ofthe
United States.
sBut among those who voted for Mr.. Becks
bill we find r. G. DeLarge, the member from
the Second South Carolina District. Mr..
DeLarge is also a negro, but a. native OF
Charleston, South Carolina. He was a mem
her of the reconstruction Convention of 1853,
and served in the State Legislature, with con-
siderable ability, as chairman of the committee
of WAYS and means. Always acute and intel
ugent, DeLarge held his own with the colored
people, and by his liberality of sentiment and
comparative honesty, secured the good will OF
the white people of the State. His district
has an overwhelming negro malorityi ne mas
! the entire approval and full confidence OF the
South Carolina blacks, and he voted squareiy
for the removal of all the disabilities imposed
nv tbe Federal Constitution upon the respect
able men of the South. In this, we undertake
to say, Mr.. DeLarge expressed correctly the
sentiments Of his constituents and the wishes
of the Southern people.

takes a manly stand on the side of amnesty.

terests of Elliott are linked with the North,
or with the West, or with Ethiopia. All the
interests OF DeLarge. are connected with
South Carolina, and with the people Of this
State. 1t is true that the native colored

we expect great things.

The Necessity OF Action.

The Columbia Rd@nir takes the ground
that the deepieelipgin the State, in relation
to Debt and Taxation, cannot be ignored,
and that, no doubt, the effort will be made
to ascribe this public feeling to disafection
to the General Government, 80 that the
United States dag may be used as a mantle
with which to hide q multitude OF sinS. NO
man-and We all know this to be the plain
truth-desires to eyade hisjust contributions
to the support of the government. The pub
lie only raise their voice and demand redress
and reform; a publication Of the State, a re-
duc.ion Of expenditures, an instalment OF
honest and capable men in the place OF dolts
and knaves. Action is necessary, and upon
this point the Phenix says.
"As to the specific form this action should
takes this ought, In our Judgment, to be LEFT to
the calm and deliberate consideration OF wise
and discreet citizens In convention assembled.
This may be said: The evils that exist demand
reform, and should be arrested before further
damage. AS to the remedy, this SHOULD TX
practical and effective. Whilst We should take
no position that is %nntenable, we should, at
tie same time, resolutely and firmly address
ourselves to relief from the evils that sur.
round u.s."
These are prudent words. Theories will
not serve our purpose. We want q policy
which shall be decisive and practical. Such
d remedy may, we hope, be found.

The Cost OF the Police.

We hope the City Council will find it prac'
ticable to reduce the cost OF the police
force. 1t is doubtless managed.with economy,
and it may not be wise to lesson the cost for
each man. But SGT, 900 a year is more than
this impecunious corporation can afford to
pay for police service, and half the present
number Of policemen will answer every pur-
pose. The oity is astonishingly quiet. There
is no apprehension here of Ku-Klux raid
perhaps because ofthe notorious purity Of the
Charleston officials. 1T is the general belief,
therefore, that for. SIS, 600 or $50, 900 we
can have just as many police as are indis'
pensable to the preservation OF order. Will
the City Council try the experiment. This
is. the question asked by the grooming tax
payers.
