BowEN's AsP1RAT1oNs.-A Washington dis
patch to the New York Herald says: "Ex-Con-
gresham Bowen, OF South Carolina, in a let
ter addressed to friend in this city, states
that since his return to Charleston he has been
assured OF the unwaverlng and unfaltering
friendship of his old constituents, and that he
is confident that the past will be forgotten and
his claims to the suffrage of his iellow-citlzens
be as readily acknowledged in the future as in
the past. He is mentioned as the next Repub-
lican candidate for Governor Of that State-a
compromise between himself and Congress
man DeLarge, whose seat he intended to con.
test on the meeting of Congress"
DRANE IN TRouBLE.-Henry Draine, well
known colored man, who has run the gauntlet
of more trial Justice suits and criminal prose-
cutions than any person Of his age in town,
got into trouble again yesterday afternoon.
First he quarrelled and had fight with An
drew Turner, On South Bay, which was hardly
over before he became entangled in another
souabble around the corner, in King street,
with another colored antagonist, named
Richard Beckett. In the last fight the two an
tagonists were arrested by the police, and
taken to the Guardhouse. At the door of the
popular institution, Draine was claimed by o
constable on warrant from Trial Justice T. ].
Mackey, for an assault and battery
upon Andrew Turner. Dralne was de-
livered up and taken before the trial
Justice for examination. Surrounded by
his enemies, in the course OF his examination
Dralne remarked that 'he did not expect JUS
tIce, but that he was prosecuted in this way
on account of his political principles" For
thie speech he was committed to Jail for con-
tempt of court until this morning, when his
examination will be resumed. On his way
thither he was accompanied by about forty
negroes, hooting at and Insulting him.
Draine, as is we'll known, Is unfortunate in
being talkative, and not knowing when to
hold his tongue. Owing 10 this failing he is
always surrounded by a crowd who wait to
see the row. In the cases Of assault and bat
terry, however, he is often more slnned
against than SHINING; and more especially is
this the case since his political conversion at
the recent election has made him an object Of
envy and hatred to his former Radical asso-
ciates.

now due for the same, Rachel had entered her
tenants apartment and distrained upon all of

for the alternative sentence, she paid up In

unsuttlclency of the law to afford her redress.

The reports of the assistant commissioners
Of the board Of health show the city to be In

wasted on these triflngs. A vast deal of
work has to be done yet before the city can be

"The American Has Precedence Because
He Lis q Sovereign and You Arc Sub
ject."
These were the words, according to our
Paris correspondent, of Napoleon III. to q
French nobleman Of high rank when deciding
the question of precedence at one of the court
balls at the Tuileries between this nobleman
and an American citizen. There is q great
deal of significance in what the Emperor said
as showing the honor Of being an American
citizen and the position our countrymen may
hold abroad if they be of the right stamp. The
misfortune is that many who 60 to Europe
make themselves ridiculous through ignora mt
pretence and shoddy display. They are too
apt to ape the cockneyism of pretending and
vulgar Englisbmen. A citizen Of old Rome,
in the heighth Of It's glory, had not more rea-
son to be proud Of his position than an Ameri-
can has of his citizenship. What suggestive
lesson is there, too, in the words of Napoleon
to the downtrodden masses of Europe! How
proud Americans ought to be Of their BIRTH
right and the glorious republican institutions
Of their country!

--latest News from Paris and Versailles.
Now that the reign of the Commune is over,
Paris is gradually quieting down and approach
ing condition of peace. The last bands of
the insurgents have laid down their arms, and
military rule now prevails all over the city.
General Vinoy is Governor of Paris, and no
one is permitted to leave the city without
pass signed by Marshal MacMahon. The final
struggles of the insurgents before giving up
their last strongholds at Belleville, Menilmon
tant and Pere la Chaise are described as despe-
rate. No quarter was given to man, woman or
child. 1t was Wholesale slaughter, if we are
to believe the kilograms which come to us
from Paris and Versailles. The troops of both
forces were infuriated, the one b. the terrible
deeds which distinguished the course Of the
Commune in its final defence, the other
because they beheld their approaching doom
and saw no hope but In continuation of the
struggle 1t was with feelings such as these
that the final fight was carried on to despe-
rate and deadly conclusion.
In the Champ de Mars, where the Parisians
many time and oft have gathered to witness
military pageants, numbers Of the captured
insurgents are now meeting the fate which
their evil doings merit, and which the outrages
they have committed justify. From forty to
one hundred of these unfortunate wretches are
brought out Of prison at O time aud shot down
Nearly every member of the Commune by this
time has either been shot or executed. II ia
in this way that Paris is purging herself of
class which has ever been source of annoy
ance and dread to the peace and well-being of
the capital. Will this wholly effect cure and
effectually eradicate the evil which had it's
origin in socialism, fourished in rebellion
and opposition to established laws and
finally eliminated in the death of the
Commune? This is question yet to
be determined. According to despatch
which we publish to-day the leaders had pre-
pared their plans, in case of defeat, to fall
back upon Belgium and in the city of Bruss els
inaugurate reign of terror similar to that
which they established in Paris. The prompt
action of MacMahon, when the movement on
the capital was really commenced, prevented
eno S"iiyinb ous VI 'nio pan. Ahe ieaueTS
who conceived the intention of plungng
another country into the horrors Of rebellion
found themselves cooped up in Paris without
chance of escape. This, possibly, has saved
Belgium from great calamity. The signs of
returning peace are already beginning to
make themselves evident in Paris. The West
ern and Orleans railways were reopened yes
terday, and provisions, which were scarce q
day or SO ago, are again making their appear
| ance in the Paris markets.
