Down in York County, South Carolina, sundy en-
tcfprising people have been mining for gold. We
do Mt know what their luck has been, but il would
probably have been better only that the rsscaly Ku
Klux interfercd with the operators and the opera
lions. Upon this, application is made TO the
Secretary Of War for military election. He refen
them to Gen. Sherman, who repeg and now comes
the extraordinary part of the aia2s that Our army
is too small to undertake to protect individual mes
or their interests7 So the petitioners referred u
a COngressjC Committee engaged in investigating out
RACES at the South And we suppose that the Con.
gress Committee will ponder very deeply, and in dW
time provide what Gen. Sherman calls " a general

If the news from Madrid shall prove to be
true, that the murderers of Marshal Prim have
been discovered, and found to be ruf1ians
hired by the adherents of the old dynasty, it
will be great relief to those who credited
for a moment the swift accusation OF the
MOnarchists that the crime had Republican
origin. The whole course Of Republican SEN
timent and expression for the last two years
has been i'll favor of agitation for the Repub-
lie by legal means inside of the Constitution.

The World, not reli3hing our structures on the
Bonapartes sees fit to pervert and miSrcpre-
sent them az follows:
"The eX- Empress is considered by everybody but IHE
TRIBUNE to be a lady; and even TIE TRIBUNE would
probably admit her TO be woman entitled 10 some sol
Of consideration by reason of her and to moro by
reason OF the thoroughly womanly manner IN which she
has borne herself alike in power and in exile. mo
destructive wrath Of THE TRIBUNE is excited by the
announcement Of Eugenie, in every way honorable to
her that she would abandon her claim to the French
throne before she would abandon the claim Of tho French
people to French so That is TIE TRIBUNE is cnragod
at her for profering her humiliation to tho humii-
alton Of France which THE TRIBUNE longs TO bumili-
atcd II does hate tho Bonaparos less, but France
more"
THE TRIBUNE has no concern with the
person as q lady or az woman, but merely as
q Bonaparte. We regard her simply as one
who chose TO become an accomplish after the
fact of the gigantic perjury treason, usurpa-
ton and murder, which made J.. n. Bonaparte
master of France. Had she been his wife
prior TO his most enormous crime that fact
might be pleaded in mitigation Of her crimi-
nality. But she deliberately elected, months
aftcrward, to share his booty, and must bear
her part of the resulting infamy
We have never yet hated France, because
we have regarded her seryility as in part con
strained and unreal If she should now recall
the BOnapaItes to rule over her. she will have
fallen too low for hate, but we shall be COM
PEELED TO dC5pise and loathe her.

OLD-FASHIONED MODESTY.

One of tho oldest instances of the short
sightedness Of tho Advanced Female" to the
interests Of her own cause was given in tho
petition recently offered to our State LegiSla-
ture, for tho appointment of young girls be-
tween the ages Of Ii and 10 in the place Of
boys as pages in the two Houses at Albany.
Now, even il these petitioners, (whO seem TO
have been in earnesD were blind to the i'm
pr0priety Of thru5ting young girls hardly past
childhood into such a position, it is strange
that common sense did not suggest to them
that u man with ordinary respect for decency,
or with daughters of his own, had no object
in becoming equally blind nor would ever be
likely TO consent to such an arrangement and
that such abortiye attempts would only preju-
dice their cause i'll the eyes Of those who
would otherwise be friendly to it in its main
issues.
That women need new kinds of work and
chances Of earning livelihood is a truth
which We have seen and urged with all tho
force iii our power for years. Every rational
man acknowledges this truth. But it is
fact equally plain that the great obstacle now
III her way ia the feaf, on the part not only
OF men but the majority of women, that in
the pursuit OF these new careers she may lose
the distinctive m0desty and womanlincss which

clared this to be the Democratic platform. The

of general admiration. If the strategy were

There is some danger that Congress, in dis
cussing resolutions OF sympathy and charity Tor
France may commit itself to sentiments which
it docs not really feel and which do not rep
resent the ideas of the American people.
There is great charity for the French nation :;
there is warm sympathy and hope for the
Republic; but Americans generally do not
believe the French were right III beginning or
right in continuing the present war There is
pity for the Conquered but no reprOach for
the Conqueror and any resolutions which may
be adopted ought not 10 commit House and

make peace or to come to "an understanding

We have not yet seen the bill which looks
TO The sale of our City's Markets, and cannot
say whether any colored person il OF is not
hidden among its provisions; but, ii 1T be-
as We are told the result of conclusion that
Marketing. like Other pursuits, may be safely

duce them 10 build tho requisite structures
and locate them at the proper points, then we
give it our hearty approval We do not ask
nor caro- who is TO mako money out of the
sale Of our present Markets, 50 that they are
duly advertised and fairly sold by auction TO
the highest bidder; but we feel sure that, by
virtue of such sale, the old rat-hOles which
now disgrace our City will be replaced by
clearly, convenient, decent structures and 30
we give hearty cheer TO the bill
What is wanted from the City in retiring
from trade is To see that private successors do
not secure some privilege that may keep the
producers from carrying their supplies TO the
upper part of the City, who're the demand is.
Washington Market is not merely nuisance-it
is an outrage; for it's very position, too distant
from the homes of the bulk of our citizens to
permit Of their going i'll person 60 buy supplies
there, adds greatly TO the cost Of The food
daily consumed. The mddlemen" have their
proper uses, but it is not a legitimate one to
prevent direct dealing between buyers and
sellers.
How eifectually the City management of the
Markets has brought this about was glaringly
shown by the action last week of the Long
Island producers at Jamaica. They havo been
forced from their stands by heavy taxation
and other forms Of persecution, and have re-
solved to purchase Market squares in Brooklyn
and refuse to cross the river into NewYOrk
at all. The great need of the community re-
quires private or else free, open Markets in the
upper part of the City, where producers may rent
stalls or expose their stock in wagons in the
public squares, that hOusekcepers may deal
directly with them, and not from cOmpulsion
through the green-grOccrs on the corners. The
City ought TO get ont of the business At any
rate, let the markets be sold 4; let there be
hcnceforth free and easy intercourse between
those who grow and those who cat.
