Amede Achard stands in the front
rank of French noyelists, and his last,
Belle Rose, is probably his finest concep-
tion and masterpiece. The scene opens
in 1868, in the village Of St, 0mer,
France. The plot is thrilling and ro-
mantle in the extreme. The hero, Belle
Rose, is recruit in the service Of King
Louis XIV. The story reminds one Of
the best military novels of Alexander
Dumas-indeed, it compares favorably
with the works Of the best French au-
thors in the line Of fiction. We predict
a large number Of readers for this work.
1t is certainly fascinating in the extreme

THE Columbia Herald contains an ar
ticle advocating the enactment Of law
in this State to prevent secret marriages
Of iniants-that is. youths who think
they are competent TO assume the re-
sponsibilities Of mstrimouy while yet
on the shallow side Of their teens. Many
States have laws requiring the contract
ing parties to be of age" or to have
the consent of parents or guardians.
In this State, though no such obstacles
are encountered by romantic boys and
girls whose souls are possessed of but
q single thought" and that to be mar
ried. ltis rather q delicate subject, and
certainly serious one Yet it certainly
comes within the province Of our law
makers as affecting more or less the vel

our great social system. We hope those
who have studied up the bearings and
the philosophy, mental, moral and physi-
cal, of the question viii not hesitate to
advance their theories and conclusions.

narnuIa's GREAT AgEreEation.


This mammoth congregation Of the
worlds wonders makes It's eHtree into
Memphis on Wednesday November 10th,
remaining two days. As there are sew
eral small shows travelling through the
South this winter, many may be induced
to believe that some OF these are the
great Barnum show; but it should be
born in mind that any institution or ex-
hibition with which Mr.. P. T. Barnum is
connected, will have his name conspicu-
ously printed on all his posters and small
bills, giving the day and date on which
the great Exposition or travelling Worlds
Fair will be at the various towns and
cities intended to be visited. Three per
formances are given nearly every day, in
order to accommodate the immense
crowds that flock to see the great show.
So great is the rush that the railroads
aud steam boats find it profitable to make
special trips at reduced rates, thus trans
porting large numbers Of people from
long distances. Nothing like it was ever
known before and may never be again.
One ticket admits to all the tents and
the entire exhibition. 0sr exchanges
are profuse in their praise Of the great
show, as will be seen by the following ez-
tracts. The St. Louis Democrat says:
The great crowds at Barnum's exhibi-
ton on Eighth to Tenth and Spruce
streets, on Monday, were but drops before
the foods let loose yesterday. At the
ten clock performance, which was the
FIRST morning canvas exhibition ever
given in ST. Louis, the audience was as
large as most shows succeed in drawing
on popular nights, although in the wide
hippodrome the thousands seemed hardly
more than scores. During the after

A Discussion OF the Situation.

To the Editor o. the Charleston Ners.
SIR: In the article which, by your in.
diligence. yesterday, appeared in the
Netcs, it was argued that the sending of
delegates to Baltimore, as is proposed,
would involve the white people of the
Siute in the dilemma of having either to
conform to the decision Of thnt conven-
ton, or to announce beforehand their
purpose not to do so.
1t was also argued that the movements
now on foot will inevitably revive the
party feelings OF 1868. so disastrous to
the State, and that the very same rea-
sons which existed in 1870 for avoiding
party issues arc moro strongly operative
now.
Upon these grounds it WAS concluded
that both the success of tho Cincinnati
movement and the prospects of reform
in South Carolina would be injuriously
affected if u State delegation should be
sent to Baltimore.
In resuming the topic. it may be as-
sumed that the primary and paramount
consideration with all the people of
South Carolina is, or ought to be, a good
local government; that the chief political
question for them is. or ought to be,
how TO secure the needed reforms in the
most certain manner; and that the only
practical measures they cnn favor will be
such as aim at the accomplishment of
this purpose.
It may also be assumed that in the
present political condition of the State,
the reformation Of the local government
cannot be effected, unless. in the absence
OF party contests, coalition be formed
especially for the purpose, embracing all
the good citizens, without distinction OF
party or race.
Ii this be 80, what chance will there
be OF effecting any reform at all, or even
OF attempting combination for that
purpose. while the white people of the
State are reviying their Democratic or
ganizations under the old leaders, and
renewing their affiliations with the no.
tional Democracy? Is it not certain that
these proceedings must re-establish the
old antagonisms of party?
But it may be said that this will be
neutralized by the action Of the Balti.

CONNECTIONS. 81. Noah, Gov.
SCOTS private secretary. has published
the following correction of card re-
Gently published in the New York Post:
In your issue of the 9th ultimo, you
publish. for the general information of
the public. letter from this office to
Messrs. Webb and Huestis, Of your city,
in relation to the prospects for the re-
newal Of interest payments on the bond
ed debt OF this State. hand you
herewith copy of that letter, from
which you will see that the month stated
when the likelihood of payments would
be made is January, 1873, instead of
July, 1873. This is either Topographic
cal error, or Messrs. Webb and uuestis
have wilfully perverted the letter to their
own special purposes.
The taxes are not collected in this
State until November, 1872, and there
fore no payments can be expected to be
made for interest before the month of
January following. The Legislature
made no provision for the payment Of
the July interest. Letters OF the same
import and bearing as that addressed to
Messrs Webb and Huestis have been
sent to O. 3. Raymond, P. o. box 2,254,
A. p. Oonklin, Esq, 23S Bowery, and

with his fellowohiefs, was entertained
on little Potomac river steamboat ex.

''My great-grand-fathe and my grand

Since your people left us. we have not
been treated justly. We have been
driven back from the great waters to

have given us beads and Bibles, but we
sometimes think we don't have the best

Here is q pew idea for a fair. Some
ladies of Boston racked their fancy to
devise something new, by which they
could get money out OF the pockets of
the gentlemen attending certain fair,
and settled on the following plan: They
had an apron table and o neck-tie table.
The neck-ties were made of the same ma
terials. and matched the aprons. The
ladies bought the aprons, or the gentle
men bought them for them, and every
gentleman was informed he must pur-
chase neck-tie. The neck-tie secured,
he was expected to take the lady who
wore the apron to match it, to the ice
cream table, and order ice cream for her
and himself. BY this sharp practice the
aprons were sold, the neck-ties were sold
and the ice cream also disposed of, and
it was all for the benefit of the church.

HE HENDRICKS KIDNAPPING CASE.-It
appears from the Atlanta exchanges that
q persistent effort is being made to shield
Deputy Marshal II. W. Hendricks from
the consequences of his alleged forgery,
IN altering bench warrant issncd from
the United States District Court Of this
State aud arrcsting an innocent citizen
OF Georgia, by obtaining the interven
tion of the United States District Court
In Georgia. A writ of habcas corpus
having been granted by that court, as nl-
ready reported, the argument upon it's
return was begun last Wednesday, and
gave promise of being long and tedious.
Ihe reator, Hendricks, is represented
by United States District Attorney Far
row and General Gartrell, who have sat-
mitted an elaborate and extremely inge-
NOUS brief i'll defence of their client, in
which tho principal points are, that the
United States Court has exclusive iuris-
dlction in the case; that there is no
State law against counterfeiting or alter
ing bench warrant issued by tie Uuited
States Court; that there is no evidence
that the relator altered the process in
this case, hut it is proven that the names
OF Hancock and Spears. inserted therein,
are not in his hand writing, and that he
was not present when they were inserted; /;
and the evidence shows conclusively
that relator knew nothing of such inser-
tion, nor did he have anything to do
with it whatever. The other side is rep
resented by equally able counsel. includ-
ing' Major Spencer and Colonel Ham
mond, and private letters from Atlanta
say that it is not probable that Hen
bricks will be allowed to escape from the
clutches of the law by means OF a mere
technicality.

MIR. EDITOR: One of the worst stab
that could be given to the Liberal Re.
publican party. would be the endorse
mcnt of its candidates by formul Demo
cratic nomination t Baltimore. Those
who advise the sending of delegates
from South Carolina certainly havc moi
considered what vast advantage they
are giving the extreme Radicals, by
enabling them to drive off the colored
population from Greeley. by the obvious
expedient Of pointing them to the flag
Of tho Democracy, unfurled in his sup
port. This would be enough to throw
10000 mnjoritNof the votes in South
Carolina against him.
No one questions the honest inten.
tions of those who advise this measure
but it may be fatal, nevertheless. to the
rising hopes Of an oppressed and ruined
people. It is time to look for ''skillful
management" in political movements,
as we'll rs for good intentions. Hereto
fore the people Of the South have not
had this advantage, ani they have suf-
fered unheardof craelties thereby.
They have right now to demand q
change III the policy OF their advisers.
They never will forget what they have
suffered already, and they cannot afford
to suffer any more, even from honest
mistakes of Judgment. The bloody
scenes enacted from 1861 to 1865, and
the horrors of the "peace" thht have
ensued, are a warming to trust no longer
to the signals displayed on the rocky
coasts where SO many ships have already
been wrecked. This movement in favor
of convention at Baltimore, seems to
tue writer, to be another of these signals,
and potent for mischief, whether it en-
dorses the Cincinnati movement or op.
poses it.
It is cheering to see SO many of the
leading minds of the State coming for
ward to the support of Greeley and
Brown; but all they can do will be
check-mated that moment Greeley and
Brown are identified, in the smallest de-
gree. with the Democrats as "party"
The best course. therefore. would be to
have no convention at Columbia. Let
the people stand off from it. and go to
the polls on the day of election and
quietly deposit their ballots. Let those
who feel 30 very grateful to the extreme
Democrats. for their past sufferings, call
them together again, if they choose;
and take another lesson, if they have
not already had enough.

The State OF Arkansas striking!y illus.
trates the beauties OF the Radical system.
The taxes there amount to some four or
FIVE per cent, and assessors, not elected
but appointed. assess property at about
three times its value. No wonder the
people are anxious to get rid of the
Grant Clayton rule. Nor is the case OF
Arkansas an insulated one. The whole
South is crushed under the debasing
tyranny Of Grant and his tools, Federal
and State. -Four years Saore OF Grant
and Radicalism might bring the South
ern situation home to the people OF
other sections.

The South must present united and

will meet there strong minority from
the North who will demand .'straight

object, it looks very much as if that mi

done at the Charleston Democratic Con-
vention in 1860. Whatever the South
ern delegates do, let them move in one
solid column and cast united vote for
Southern interests.

Another Party In the Field. !.

Another Party In the Field.
The ultra Free Traders, or Revenue
Reformers, who were at first associated
with the Liberal movement, appear dis
satisied with the sensible disposition
which the Cincinnati Convention made
OF their darling idea of revenue reform,
and have held a meeting in New York,
looking to the organization of purely
free trade party. William Cullen Bry-
ant and David A. Wells may be regarded
as the master spirits of the movement,
and lend to it the influence of their in
dividual ability. earnestness and stain
less integrity. We should be happy to
see square issue made before the coun-
try upon the question of freedom of cx-
change, as opposed to the present tariff
system, by misnomer dubbed protection.
We believe that it will be made at q not
distant future, and are inclined to view
the present demonstration as indicative
of the origin of new party, and one
which is destined in short period to
sapplant all other political organizations.
The South and West are at one in their
opposition to the present absurd and
rainous system of tariff, and there is no
small portion Of the North, too. which
joins in the opposition. The advocates
OF free trade are unquestion ably far
ahead in numbers OF the monopolists,
and will evince when the opportunity
offers. But we regret to see the ques-
tion raised in the present Presidential
canvass. for the simple reason that we
believe its effect will only be to strengthen
the chances OF Grants re. election, and
the continued supremacy of the extreme
Radical faction of the Republican party,
which, among its other and greater sins,
is the most bitter opponent of free trade.
In our judgment, the Cincinnati Oon-
vention, in leaving the question of re-
venue reform entirely to Congress, to
which it must be finally entrusted any
way, adopted the wisest course that
could possibly be suggested. under exist
ing circumstances. There are other, if
not more important, at least moro press
ing demands, upon the care and atten-
tion of the people in the present emer-
gency. than the matter of revenue re-
form.
When the very bulwarks of civil
liberty are in imminent peril of being
destroyed by the ruffian hand of military
tyrant; when the chief heritage of Ame-
rican freemen, the glorious writ of Aabeas
corpus, is denied them, and the people
of sovereign States are being prosecuted
by the minions of central Government,
while being plundered by it's tools at
home; when corruption and extrava-
gance characterize. every operation of
Government; when, inshort, our Repub-
lican institutions are themselves invaded
and personal liberty even not guaran-
teed, we cannot turn our attention
solely to matter which, however i'm
portant. affects only our material pros
perity. Revenue reform is minor con-
sideration just now. Let us first secui 9
return to constitutional government
and the re-establishment of civil au-
thority in its rightful throne.
