HERALDs OF SPRING IN RoANOKE.-[Cor-

Salem, Roanoke, Va, March ia sngu-
Lar phenomenon occurred here to-day.
About O'Clock brisk shower OF rain took
place, attended by moderate wind from
the south. After the rain had ceased por-
tions of the surface of the earth and the
payements Of the streets were found coated
with bright yellow substance, precisely
resembling -four Of sulphur. The edges OF
depression in the soil and pavements were
more or less thickly coated with this SUBJ
stance, and in cases where the rain fell in
barrels or other vessels it was found floating
on the surface Of the water and adhering to
the sides of the vessels.
Parcels Of it were collected, and sub
mitted some of them to the test Of heat on
plates Of iron. No sulphur flavor was emit
ted. It ignited, however, at a high tenn
perature, but without blazing. Could this

A Census OF Soreheads.

1t is very general result in races OF all
kinds that there is but one successful con-
testant, aud that per contra the rest OF the
competitors must come in behind, and the
rule holds good in politics as in natural phi
losophy that no two bodies can occupy the
same place at the same time. These rather
trite observations are provoked by a careful
investigation as 10 the number OF recent
applications for official position under the
newly inaugurated city government. The
official patronage OF the City OF Charleston
consists OF just forty-three positions, and for
these there have been just three hundred and
sixty-nine applications, leaving, OF course,
exactly three hundred and twenty-slx dis
appointed aspirants. These applications re-
ceived the endorsements OF five hundred
and ninety-seven gentlemen, Of whom
one hundred and twenty-nine had the
pleasure OF finding their recommendations
successful, but Of whom four hundred and
sixty-eight encountered an inevitable disap-
pointment Itthese statistics had been con-
tinued to include such minor appointments
as policemen and street workers, the exhibit
would be still more startling; but enough is
already stated to show the hundreds OF good
men who did not get positions that they are
in eminently respectable company, so far, at
least, as numbers are concerned.

A Black MANS Opinion OF the New City
Government.

Ex Senator ard Rev. R. H. Cain in the
last issue OF the Missionary Record utters
the following "Well Done!" regarding the
course Of the new city administration:
'The new municipal government has begun
business In busness.like manner. The pay
ing off the city employees and curtalment Of
the expenditures indicates what may be done
in the future. Every day exhibits the ability
of the present Council, and illustrates this
great principle that men who. are successful
In their own business relations are well quail
fed to discharge public trusts. We hail this
new administration as prouidential interpoSi-
ton in behalf Of our stricken people, and hope
the greatest good may result to this commu-
nifty. We observe reduction OF the price Of
wages; but promptness in payment, which
amounts to an increase Of money, by virtue OF
no t,penty per cent. discount on every poor po-
liceman's wages, and the orders issued in lieu
of money. The street laborers may rejoice
that seven dollars per week will be sure, with
no discounts nor shaves. We hope to see such
financial arrangements by the committee as
will cheer every heart"

A Black Mans Plea.

We call the attention OF the New York
Tribune and the other leading Radical jour-
nails of the North to the rude but striking
comments OF the only negro newspaper Or
gan in South Carolina upon the recent dis-
closures OF the robberies OF the rascally Ring
which now controls the revenues and the
credit OF our State. Northern Republicans
have of late shown deal OF sympathy with
the few colored people who have suffered
at the hands OF the Ku-Klux. But
here is a wrong OF gigantic proportions
which dwarfs the Ku-Kiux outrages
into insignihcance, and which not only
brings ruin to blacks and whites alike in
South Carolina, but which inficts heavy
losses upon credulVus investors in other
States. Will not the Northern press, which
has so often before undertaken to interfere
in our troubles, come to our assistance in
our present strait, and, before the lately
awakened ardor for reform has had time to
cool, help US somehow to shake off the rule
OF Ring compared with which Tammany
itself was oenignant, uuseifsh and most
conscientious institution

A Nut for the Union to Crack.

The Columbia Union asks The NEWS "to
'come out and tell what it knows" about the
redemption of any bonds by the State gov
ernment in 1871.
In his letter to Senator Scott, dated Sep
tember 20, 1871, Governor Scott says;
During the present fiscal year the bonded
"debt has been reduced by payment ofbonds
''lue July l, 1871, amounting to $3.50, O,OOO.'
But the State Constitution, article 9, section
II, reads as follows:
No money shall be drawn from the treas
ury, bnt in pursuance Of appropriations made
by law
Governor Scott admits that $780, 900 ol
State bonds have been paid. No appropri
alton was made for their payment. We
charge, therefore, that the payment wai
made in plain violation of the Constitution
Of the State.
Perhaps the Union would like to explain
this little transaction to the Legislature, ant
also to let the public know the names OF the
exceptionally lucky holders who succeeded
in getting payment dollar for dollar OF bonds
which must have been bought at a thump
ing discount.

Our Own Thanksgiving.

1t will be noticed, by referring to the
amended proclamation in another column,
that Mayor Wagner has changed the date
fixed for day Of prayer and thanksgiving
in this city from Friday, the oath, to Thurs
day, the 23d inst. The inconvenience OF
celebrating Friday, q day set apart by
the ritual OF many Of the churches Tor
fasting and contrition, as an occasion OF
general thanksgiving was commented upon
in some OF the pulpits yesterday, and the
ground was taken by Bishop Howe that the
Episcopal Church could not consistently OBJ
serve the day in any other than the way pre-
scrlbed by the rubric of the church. This
view of the selection of date having pre-
sented itself to his Honor the Mayor, the
substitution OF Thursday for Friday has been
made, and it is now hoped that all classes OF
the community may feel permitted and i'm
PEELED to unite in this pious and patriotic
observance.

West, all of the lakes and nearly the entire
length of the Atlantic coast, has elected com.
paratively little public attention, evidently LOT
the reason that it was not distinguished eg
any extraordinary loss of property or life.
Many storms, indeed, OF less force and extent
have fallen upon our coasts with far more ter
ribe results. The mystery, however, If mys'
tery it may be styled, finds ready solution in
the admiral system Of storm signals which, on
this occasion, literally headed the winds and
furnished conspicuous testimony of its utility.
Every section of the country threatened oy
the storm was duly warned of its approach

vessels which would otherwise nave oeen ln-

Gulf, but this side OF the Alleghanies, as If de-
signing 10 foil science BY strategy, played the
trick of dividing so as to strike further north
than it had pretended. Caught at that, the
north was forewarned and ready for it. How
much of loss of lie and property was thus
spared the country no man can say. The
march of this great storm, and Its complete
anticipation at every point, shows how far
from mere gaess-work the predictions OF the
Signal Service are. and the great value OF the
telegraph as an aid to science in thus develop
ing into practical fact what had hitherto been
