SMART PIes.-The Chester Report
er says: Mr.. Jerome B. Stokes tells
US of a very strange discovery he
made on his plantation q few days
ago. For some time past, he had no
ticed a very great diminution in the
supply of milk furnished by his cows.
On making inquiries into the cause,
Of. the woman who had charge Of the
COWS, she accounted for it BY stating
that The milk was sucked from the
co wsby a litter Of pigs thato stayed
at night in the same yard in which
the COWS were kept. This improba-
BILE story fixed deeper in his emind
the suspicion that the woman was
using the milk for her own purposes.
She persisting, cthoug b, in her story,
he went to his COW lot early in the
morning, and there he found the COWS
lying quietly on their sides, and ths
pigs tusging away for Their breakfast.

Politics and Yellow Fever
tauSe and Effect,

At the first glance there seems to
be little connection between politics
and yellow fever; but here in Char
lesion their relation is no more re-
mote than that Of cause or effect.
The present Mayor of Charleston
was nominated because of his politi-
cal standing, and, for the like reason,
in face Of a successfully contested
election, was legislated by the Radical
General Assembly into his seat. Be-
ing wholly ignorant of the necessities
Of the city, be was not expected to
rule it wisely or well. It was, how
ever, demanded of him that he should
watch over the interests of his party
that he should exclude all but
Radicals from official position, and
should give his supporters fair oppor-
tunities Of making money. This was
agreed to, and, with one or two ex-
ceptions, Mayor Pillsbury and his
concilIary supporters have kept in
Office only those whose qualifications,
like to their own, are greed and politi-
cal orthodoxy. Intent on strength
ening the backbone Of Radicalism,
and on filing the money bags Of
lis favoritcs, Mayor Pillsbury neg
lected the commonest sanitary pre-
cautions, and allowed Charleston to
become uncleanly in the extreme.
Money Was spent lavishly, but with
n. other result than the enrichment
of inspectors and contractors, And
when the heats Of August came, as
might have been expected, the fever
made disappearance. A strictly par
ty municipal government, organized
and conducted for political purposes,
made of Charleston, by their neg
lect, hot-bed of disease. And as
politics were, in this plain way, the
cause of the fever, SO politics, again.
prevented the carrying out Of meas
ures which might check its progress,
or lead to it's extinction. 1t was pro-
posed that gentleman, in whose en-
ergy and skill all classes confde,
should take entire charge Of the ar
rangements expected to be made for
cleansing the city from its aeeamula-
ted filth. As the Mayors kipsman,
the City Inspector, was absent from
his post and is one Of the guiltiest
Of the. crew who brought the pesti-
lence upon us, this proposition was
not unreasonable. Mayor Pillsbury
consented, but shafses out Of the
agreement as soon as made, because
ii, would be ruinous, in a political
sense, to allow a Democrat" to ex.
pose, by his works, the extravaganza
and supineness Of, the Radical Off
cials.
A political issue-such as was
never had in Charleston before-gaye
the city Mayor Pillsbury. And
Mayor Pillsbury, by his weakness
and Ignorance, brought the fever
upon US. The same political idea
prevents Mayor Pillsbury, even now,
from retraciag his steps, and from
pdtting Charleston in wholesome
condition. tits plain that, in our
sad case, the disease which oppresses
ua is the offspring ofparty rule.
And we venture to saythat, ten years
hence, the mention Of the name of
yellow fever will inevitably call to
mind the vacillation, the ffanaticism
and the doltish stupidity Of the first
and last Radical Mayor of Charles

The Southern Gentleman.

the novelist's errors, though concur.
ring in the general tendency of the
opinion, and gives, at length, the
following interesting view of-the
matter, speaking, if we Judge by the
tone of his words, er cathedra::
Whatever may have been the de-
fects of the peculiar institutions of
the South, one thing admirable they
did produce, and that was, specimens
of the finest gentlemen in the world.
And if Mr.. Disraeli had examined
into the matter with the eye of a
philosopher and with his power oil
analysing character, he would have
found that the best specimens Of the
English noblemen-men born to
large agricultural estates, and sur
rounded by dependents and parks
and preserves-were in appearance,
sympathy, manners, and amusements,
the very counterpart Of the Southern
Shareholder. 1t was this very fact
that carried the ruling classes. OF

Confederacy, and will, in tie Ian
guage of the Duke already quoted.

England such greeting, as was ac-
corded in the French revolution to
the emigrant nobility Of France.

beyond what Indicated rcspectin
admiration-to say nothing OF love
would have called forth an instant
resentment, in its action as RELENTLESS
as the thunder-bolt.
But Mr.. Disraeli goes further as
tray than even this. He absolutely
makes his Southern gentleman an
officer in Garibaldi's army of volun-
teers, struggling for the conquest Of
Rome. The Southern gentleman has
the sympathy with revolution for lib
erty that the English nobleman has,
and no more; both are petri6ed Con-
servatives. Garibaldi was never a
hero in the South; and when Kos
suth, after literally turning the
Northern States up side down with
enthusiasm, reached New Orleans, he
took quarters {" at downtown ho-
tel" and was thoroughly left to neg,
lect, unnoticed and unknown.

TIE REFINEMENT OF JOHN G. CAL
HoUN.-The remains of John G. Calhoun
were exhumed on Saturday morning and
replaced in the vault where they origin
ally reposed.
1t will be remembered by chosen few
that on the night preceding the evacua-
ton of Morris Island by the Confederate
forces the bones of Calhoun were taken
from their vault, for obvious reasons, and
were laid in St. Phillips church yard, to
the east Of the venerable church. There
the remains of our greatest statesman
have rested during these six event full
years.
The rector, assistant rector, and the
vestrymen of ST. Phillips were present
at the disbursement, and followed the
coffin as it was borne to the old vault
west of the church. 1t was indeed sol.
lemn scene. While all else is troubled
and sad, the mighty spirit of Calhoun
stalks abroad, and his dust, its wonder
|ings over, is laid for aye in the humble,
silent grave-laid in the bosom of that
