CONDITION OF THINGS IN SOUTH
CARoLINA.-A private letter from
Columbia, $. c., represents the coun-
try in such condition of lawlessness,
that no Northern man or Republican
can live there. The writer says his
father has been hiding in the woods
for weeks, and he himself has to be
guarded by Union soldiers. Many
Northern families are returning home
bankrupt, only too glad to escape
with their lives.

Speech at New Orleans.

Conway, Secretary and Treasurer of
the Union League Club of New Or
leans, writes to the Tribune that on
the 22d ultirno, at the reception to
General Sherman, the General made
the following speech
"Mr. President, | am not much of
q speaker. My forte is action, not
spoech-making. L do not wish my
remarks this evening to be reported
in the papers, for | see what said
on the occasion of another reception
extended me since my arrival has
been entirely misrepresented, and l
am credited with words | did not
utter at all Therefore, | hope there
are no reporters here to serve up
the present interview as they served
the other TO which | have alluded.
My duty as commander of the army
of the country keeps me employed in
military matters, and by that employ
ment may be enabled to assist the
nation in civil and political interests
but | do not wish to be considered a
politician. strive as well as | can
TO do what my official duty compels,
and on doing that, find myself en-
ployed. do not seek any civil POI
sition whatever, and do not wish to
be suspected of doing 50. Indeed, |
should positively decline any offer
for civil or political position. l
mean to devote my whole time, in
the future, to the study of the militia
ry art, not with view of destroy
ing, but as means of promoting the
good Of all, even the lowest classes
OF orr country"

ALABAMA CLAIMS. -London May
12-In the House of Lords to-day
Lord Rederdale asked whether the
United States could legally raise the
question of remuneration for vessels
and property destroyed by the Ala
bama He argued that the Southern
States Of the American Union were
alone responsible for the depredations
of tho Alabama and kindred ships,
aud that the government of Great
Britain could not have legally detain-
ed the Alabama, for she was not
armed when she left British waters.
Earl Lauderdale concurred in the
views expressed by Lord Rederdale.
Earl Granville said he was glad the
question had been raised, as it gave
him an opportunity for stating that
the adjustment made at Washington
had not turned upon the point sup
posed by Lord Rederdale, that the
crown advisers had not even suggest
ed it be promised that before tho
treaty was ratified there should be
ample opportunity for the full con-
sideration of its provisions, but in the
meantime expressed regret at the
occurrence of desultory discussions.

Married people should study each

out for the week parts of the ice in

The wife is the sun of che social

nothing to keep heavy bodies, like
husbands, from flying off into space.
The wife who would properly dis
charge her duties must never have a

husband who would acquire the privi-
lege of asking friends to dinner with
out notice remember this when his
wife hints at a new bonnet. The
wife's want is the husbands opportu-

Notwithstanding the assertions of

a circle in which the husband and

The
PICTURES.

A room with pictures in it, and a
room without pictures, differ by nearly
Gs much as a room with windows and
a room without windows. Nothing,
we think, is more melancholy, par
ticularly to a person who has to pass
much time in his room. than blank
walls for pictures are loopholes OF
escape 10 the soul, leading it to other
scenes and other spheres. 1t is such
an expressible relief to a person en-
gagged in writing, or Eel reading, on
looking up, to find his soul escaping,
as it were, through the flame of an
exquisite picture, to other beautiful,
and perhaps Idyllic scenes, where the
fancy for a moment may revel, re-
freshed and delighted. Is it winter
in your world? Perhaps it is summer
in the picture; what a charming mo-
mentary change and contrast! And
thus pictures are CONSIDERS of loneli-
ness; they are a sweet flattery to the
soul; they are a relief to the jaded
mind; they are windows to the i'm
prisoned thought ; they are books
they are historians and sermons,
which we can read without the trou-
BILE of turning ver the leayes.
