A SEVEN MONTHS RUN UP AND Down AND
AROUND THE WORLD. By James Brooks.
New York: D. Appleton d Co. 1872. Charles
ton: Holiness Book House.
Mr.. James Brooks, one of the Congressman
from New York, and the editor and proprietor
Of the Evening Express, gives the public, In
this unpretendlng volume, as lively book OF
travels as one would care to see. There Is no
attempt at microscopical inquiry, at phllosopll-
ical Investigation, or at cribblpg long tables
of dry statistics. The author re LES through
Japan and China, crosses India, passes through
the suez Canal, looks in at Turin, explores
the Mount Gents tunnel, and returns home 10
New York by swift Cunarder, and describes
all this In the letters to the New York Express,
now brought together. The reader is never
allowed to pause or grow tired. Every page
is bright, fresh and entertaining. The thou
sand queer things which Mr.. Brooks saw be-
come realities, and 1t may safely be said that
his sketches, "taken on the spot" give far
better idea of the wonderful East than can be
had from the bulky volumes OF tha men OF sci-
ence, whose big words and involved phrases
are caviare to the general. The descriptions
a,u ul,v pi,.tvs, epls In tho adolitJ with which
the salient points are brought out, and In the

England and tho Treaty.

The London Economist is anxious to save
the Washington Treaty for several reasons.
First, its rupture will render future nego-
tiation still more difficult. All the pending
questions which would receive their quietus
by this treaty will be revived in full force,
and would, perhaps, remain as grounds of
irritation for another generation. Secondly,
the treatment which England meted out to
America during the late civil war will be re.
turned on the occasion of the first war in
which England is engaged with any other
power. There are in America men and
means in abundance ready to be employed
in crusade against British commerce. A
dozen Alabamas will be speedily equipped
at American navy-yards, and American law
officers may interpose as many legal diff
culties to the execution Of neutrality laws
as the English crown lawyers did in the case
of the Confederates. Thirdly, the question
OF Canadian fisheries is one fruitful in occa-
sions and grounds OF collision, and at al-
most any moment may produce war between
the two countries.

The Hope Of Reform.

The Cheraw Democrat prints the following
thoughtful article, which sufficiently shows
the vital importance OF so adding to the
Conservative element in the Legislature
that one.third OF the members will b. pre-
pared to oppose extravagant and corrupt
legislation:
SIT requires two.thirds vote of both
branches of our State Legislature to pass any
DILL making an appropriation of public money.
Our main hope for reform In our State Gov
eminent, and the relief of our people from
oppressive taxation and reckless expenditure,
Is that better class Of men will be elected
next fall to the General Assembly from those
portions of the State under Radical control.
This is acknowledged by the leaders OF that
party to be necessity of its existence, even
in South Carolina.
1.-THE House of Representatives is composed
Of one hundred and twenty-four members and
the Senate of thtrty-two, and whenever we
can get one-third in either house of true men,

RespectabiIity, Again.

For another example, take the Hon. A. ID.
Stephens. No man in the South holds q
higher place in the public esteem than he
has held. His hold upon popular favor has
abated no little since his unfortunate en-
trance into journalism; but confidence in
his sincerity has not diminished, and he
still retains the respect OF thousands who
cannot agree with him. But what, IN q
practical point OF view, does this respect
amount to, and what is the value attached
now to Mr.. Stephens political opinions
Nothing. And why? Because q feeling IN
the hearts Of the people, deeper than the
wisdom in the heads Of all the politl-
clans combined, convinces them that Mr..
Stephens's opinions are erroneous, ine
editor Of the Atlanta San is undressing al
onments to whirlwind-throWing syl-
Ioprsms into torrent. This Is not wisdom.
MIR. Stephens's shibboleth is ''principle." "
In theory, principles are based upon truth
absolute truth. But who is to ascertain
what absolute truth is? Will Mr.. Stephens
declare hlmself In full, indisputable posses
sion OF it? He maH but his declaration
will not serve as proof.
Thus, as between Grant and Greeley, the
people of the South see, they feel, they
know, by an unerring instinct, that the elec-
ton OF the latter will loosen their bonds, en-
large their liberty, and conduce to the en-
ioyment OF life. Nor are they actuated by
blind instinct, as it is called. They have
reason for the faith that is in-them. Four
years of trial have proved Grant to be a
heartless bit OF putty in the hands OF the
most tyrannical and corrupt zen In his
party. He is nose Of wax in the hands OF
Morton & Co. Per contra, Greeley is a
man Of will and a man OF heart. Nature
did not make him, and man cannot make
L:.,, tyrent- Mr. STEPHENS, may pioaUh
till he is black in the face about Greeley's
past career. He will be needed as much as
Canute was when he commanded the waves
to rise no higher. Indeed, the people OF
Georgia have already trampled Stephens
and Toombs under foot as II they were
pebbles, or two mud-lumps lying in the
road

The bill which has passed through Con-
gress, amending the general bankruptcy act,
makes several important changes. The
time during which bankrupts may be dis
charged upon payment ef fifty per cent. OF
their Indebtedness is extended until July l.,
1873; life insurance policies to the amount
Of $4,000 are exempted from assets available
for creditors, and oil judgments obtained
against parties or property before petitions
are fled are to be first and fully satisfied.
It also allows all exemptions allowed by any
State law on the first Of January, 1871. This
will save to bankrupts in South Carolina a
homestead to the value OF $1,000. 1t also
exempts widows dover, or other estate in
lieu thereof, II the State law so provides.

leads an isolated life at his villa Oh honen-
schwangan, where his chief enjoyment ls tha1
of music. The lively adventures went TO the
place with the sweet and pretty name, ana
took lodgings at the Golden Bear Hotel, de-
termined upon the conquest Of the King.
Walking out with her femme de chan1bre, when
she saw royalty approaching she fell 10 draw
Ing the beautiful landscape with all her might
The King, who is proud of the scenery, ap-
preached the fair artist and opened an afiaole
conversation. Then he invited the engaging
Fannie to visit his country-seati and gave
her q white mare, diamond oraceleti
his portrait framed in solid gold set with
eneralds, and other gifts Of great value. Then
he lent her money in quite large sums; and then
his uncle Leopold, hearing of the matter, en-
ployed two Munich detectives to hunt up tne
antecedents of the enchantress. Learning
his determination, she fed, leaving behind
her large trunk containing one hundred let-
ters from different lovers. For the last three
wears the lady has been seeking, and occa'
slonally finding, her fortune In different Euro
pean capitals. Her last affair, before Tue DID,
yarian speculation, was in Berlin, where she
did 40 bedeyil an unfortunate colonel that ne
resorted to forgery to crafty her incessant
demand for money, and 80 was ignominiousi5
cashiered. The Bavarian detectives having
found her In retired village, allowed her TO
make choice between leaving the country OF
going to prison. SO she continued her flight
into Switzerland, with ten thousand dollars IN
money aud valuables, the net proceeds OF mel
Hohenschwangan speculation.

THE World insists that the old Demo-
cratic rule, requiring q two.thirds vote to
nominate candidates for President and
Vice President, shall be adhered to at Baltl-
more. No one objects. A tive-sixths rule
would not hurt Mr.. Greeley. The fun OF the
thing is that the World promises to bow
to the will Of the party and support the nomi'
nees, whoever they may be. So We must all
get ready to shake hands and make friends.

no matter of what party, they will be able,
in q great measure. 10 protect the rights OF
the taxpayers.
"In the present House of Representatives
there were twenty members who were elected
"a anti:Radcals from the eight counties Of
Greenvllle, .Pickens, Oconee, spartanburg,
anderson, Lexington, Marion and Horny.
These twenty members voted almost unanl-
mously against every corrupt and extravagant
measure which was passed during the last TWO
sessions.
.sTbe County Of Chesterfield also elected
Democratic members, who were unfairly un-
seated by partisan vote In the House, while
In some other counties the anti.Radical ucket
was defeated by small majorlties OF less than
one hundred votes.
uFrom these facts arises the hope we nave
that in one branch, at least, OF our next Gen-
ora, Assembly may be found one-third OF the
members who will steadily oppose extraVa-
pan1 and corrupt legislation. The Infamous
Rlne Ridge bill, which was passed at the last
session. ls q case in point. This bill required
q two-thlrds vote to pass 1t. In the House,
eyery Democrat present. and tour Republi
cans, voted against it. In the Senate, the
vote was twenty-five to six. A change OF TWO
votes in the Senate would have saved the TAX
