STATE THIEVES. While the Legis.
laturo of South Carolina was composed
OF men who could read and write-we
mean prior to the year ls6l-the bill
for stationery amounted to about s400
per session. Now when composed of
plantation negroes and small sprink-
ling of et-baggers and a still small
or infusion of respectable white men,
singular as II may appear the bill for
stationery last year amounted to tho
enormous sum Of $4,000. The print
ing bill of tho State in 1872 amounted
to 5000, 600 divided among the Radi-
cal papers. The excessive knavery
OF all this is much more clearly mani
fest, whom it is borne in mind that all
the State taxes are paid by the white
men who arc old residents Of the State.
Neither the negroes nor their white
allies from the North contributing one
dollar thereto. And yet men around
here who pretend to honesty and even
TO religion, vote year aftor year to
sustain those arrant thieves. Pits.

Woman rs q Student.

Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm takes rather
a gloomy view of the co-education of
the sexes. She says that boys and
girls are now just as much competitors
in the race for learning as though they
we're admitted to the same college halls,
as in her opinion they ought to be !;
but the girls are ut tremendous dis
advantage, and fall early in the race to
fill untimely graves. The main reason
of this disadvantage she finds in the
fashionable dress of the day. She says:
By means of corset, band, or belt, her
liver is divided into an upper and q
lower section, the one forced up to
crowd the heart, lungs, and stomach !;
the otl1er down to find room, as 1t can,
where there is no room for it. Every
vital organ is displaced or cramped.
Blockades are established, by tight
shoes, tight gloves, tight garters, tight
corsets, or, still more murderous, tight
skirt bands and there the blood must
run by extra force of pumping, every
time it passes from the heart to the ex-
tremities or back. To study
in such costume is to burn the candle
at both ends, but the spirit of the age
is upon her the ages to come press on
her; study she must, and die she must.

Many Cubans Arrested.

When the City of New York arrived
Mt Havana, says correspondent, por-
ton of her passengers were arrested
Immediately on landing. Among those
thus arrested was q niece OF Aldama,
who was searched for letters supposed
to be concealed on her person. Cores
pondeuce duplicating score OF the
principal Cuban families in the island
was found. No attempt has apparently
been made to conceal the plans intend
ed to be conveyed in cyphcr. The
names and plans Of the consplrators
were all found. An expressman named
Bambalier in Havana, who was IN the
confidence of the Cubans, had gone on
board to obtain similar criminal cor
respondence and had also concealed
number of letters in his under.gar.
ments, but on coming up from the hold
to go ashore he saw what had been tne
fate of the other extemporlzea posi-
carrier and endeavorcd to throw them
overheard. Some lodged, however, in the
guards. and were thus seen by the po-
lice, who rescued those that had fallen
IN the water, and when Bamballer ap-
peared he was arrested and hurried
AWAY with the other prisoners to Fort
Cabana. which is fortress correspond
inp to the MORO Castle, at the other
end of the town. He was to have been
shot the next morning, and the writer's
informant had little doubt, SD great was
the feeling against the insurrectlonlsts,
that the order was carried out. What
especially embittered the Spaniards
against Bambalier was that he had al
ways been n conspirator. and had only
inst been released from the Isle OF
Pines, where he had been confined the
past eighteen months for offences slmi-
lar to this last offence.
The arrest of Bambalier and the Gu.
bans who arrived on the City OF New
York was the signal for the immediate
arrest of forty of the principal Cuban
citizens in Havana and vicinity who
were implicated by the captured cores
pondence. The arrests were gong on
mn to the last hour that the writer's IN,
formant was in the city, and universal
terror and confusion prevailed among
the Cubans still left at large. None
knew how many names had been men
toned in the letters in the possession
of the authorities. Flight was almost
impossible, and any attempt would be
a proof of guilt. Their only resource
was to possess their souls In patience
and await the fate that seemed certaan'
