CHARLESTON, Sc, September IA serious
riot occurred late last night, growing out of
Il street attack by colored Republicans upon
some colored men who have been taking a

ers, after severe fight, in Which pistols
were freely used on both sides.
The rioters held King street. the main

breaking windows, robbing stores, and at
lacking and beating indiscriminately every

THE SECOND ORuSADE.

The legal crusade lately inaugurated
against houses of ill-repute in this city
has given rise to much comment, and
while all good citizens would rejoice in
measures that might prove successful in
the suppression of vice, very many con-
slider the action taken to be as unjust as
only action which discriminates not ac-
cording to the relative enormity of the
crime, but according to the sex of the
criminal can be. We remember, and it
was not so long ago, when women,
armed with the only weapons which
they, being political nonentities, pos
sessed, prayer and entreaty, sought to
prevail upon the keepers of the recuit-
ing places of these houses to give up
their business. We remember, also,
that they were laughed to scorn, and
told that these proprietors were not to
blame, inasmuch as they but supplied
a demand without which their business
could not survive for a day. If this be
true in the one case, is it not equally
true in the other? If men really wish
to abolish the places in and about our
city, "whose steps take hold on hell, ~ is
not the way easy and plain? Is there
not method that will effectually abol
ish them, and that without feeling a
single lawyer, or causing witnesses who
must be as deep in guilt as the accused
can be, to rehearse disgusting testimony
before crowds of men and boys? Sup
pose these persons thus found guilty are
fined or even imprisoned, does any one
believe that vice will thereby receive
check? All this "sound and fury sig
nifying nothing" will amount to nothing
except perhaps little cheap notoriety
for the prosecuting attorney, chance
for persons dOubly-dyed in pollution to
make display of their knowledge of
the ways of sin by testifying to their
own uncleanness and the qualification
of a prurient curiosity, upon which all
that is immoral feeds and grows. Sa-
looms, gambling-dens, and brothels are
alike ordered and sustained by the per-
verted passions of men, and placing a
check upon the last will alone Danish
the rest, and for men to arrest, bring to
trial, convict and punish vice which,
but for their patronage, could not exist,
is a libel upon decency, common sense,
and justice.
The means by which a few men seek
to punish vice which is fostered and up
held by many is based upon the theory
which teaches that sin is to be regarded
and punished not according to its enor-
nifty, but according to the sex of the
sinner; and against this unjust, unchris-
tian, and most pernicious theory justice,
humanity, and public veal cry out, and
will continue to cry until man and
woman shall be judged alike for a mu-
tual sin which is now regarded as a
pardonable weakness in the one and an
objectionable wickedness in the other.

WOMEN AND LAW.

We referred at some length several
weeks since to the application of Miss
Lavina Goodell, of Wisconsin, to prac-
tice law in the Supreme Court of that
State. Miss Goodell, it will be remem-
bered, had been practicing for some
time in the lower courts, and having a
case in the Supreme Court, sought ad-
mission to its bar, that she might at
tend to it personally. Her application
has been denied on the ground that the
statute did not authorize such a pro-
ceeding, which seemed inimical to the
best interests of women. The San Jose
Patriot, though extremely hostile to
"woman's rights" speaks thus upon the
matter:
II this is the best reason the profession can
give, we are in favor OF admitting women to
practice. 1t is no reason at all to say that the
law which allows men TO practice law with
holds the right from women because it would
inJure their character ana social standing. II
courts can find no more plausible reason for
denying the application of women to practice
law than the one given above let the bars be
let down, for reason and justice bid her enter

RECENT EVENTS.

Judge Taft, of Ohio, has been ap-
pointed Secretary of War. He left Gin
cinnati for Washington on the 9th.
The appointment of Samuel Hannah
for Collector of Customs for Willamette
District has been confirmed by the Sen
ate.
The Senate, by vote of 10 to II, re-
fused on the Sd reading of the bill to give
women the right to vote on municipal
affairs in cities and towns, and to hold
municipal offices.
The President on the 10th inst. nomi-
mated T. McF. Patton, of Salem, ap-
praiser of merchandise in the Portland
Custom-house, and Abner Waters for
United States Marshal for Oregon.
A terrific wind, rain, and thunder
storm visited portions of the Western
States on the 10th. 1t extended from
Quincy to the northern portion of Iowa,
and was especially severe on the banks
of the Mississippi.
The Senate committee on Territories
heard Senator Kelly, on the 10th, in
support of his bill to annex Walla
Walla and Columbia counties to Ore
gon. No action will be taken until Del
egate Jacobs is heard from in opposi-
ton.
The Senate committee on privileges
and elections on the 10th discussed Nor
toms proposition for a constitutional
amendment to provide that the Presi-
dent and Vice-President shall be elected
by the direct vote of the people. It was
finally agreed that the joint resolution
should be reported favorably, some
members of the committee, however, re-
serving the right to oppose it.
The town of Hazel Green, in the
southeastern corner of Grant county,
Wisconsin, containing about 1000 in
habitants, chiefly lead miners, was Wis.,
tied by a tornado on the night of the
10th, which swept from southwest to
northeast, taking in in its course some
thirty buildings and destroying many
lives. There is no direct communica-
ton with Hazel Green, but the facts
were learned from messages to Galens
and Dubuque for medical aid.

Hdrper'S Magazine for March con-
tains the second installment of George
Eliot's new novel, "Daniel Deronda." )"
The second book is entitled Injecting
Streams" The movement is much
more rapid than in most of George
Eliot's novels, and the story more pop
ular in its cast. This number of Harper
is exceedingly rich in fiction. Besides
the serial stories of George Eliot and
Julian Hawthorne, there are five short
stories. The most popular of the Illus
trated articles in this number are Porte
Crayon's inimitable essay on "The
Baby" with twenty humorous illustra-
tions, and J. T. Trowbridge's poem,
"Aunt Hannah" A more serious sub
ject-"Lucretia Borgia"-is treated by
Professor Crane, of Cornell, in the light
of recent disclosures in Gregorovius' BIZ
ography. Professor Samuel Lockwood
contributes an article on "The Micro
scope" in a style especially fascinating
for young readers. Edwin P. Whipple
concludes his centennial paper on
american Literature" A very inter-
esting Characterization of the parties
(high, low, and broad) of the Church OF
England, and of the most remarkable
preachers of that church, is given by
Charles d. Deshler, in connection with
Mr.. Arnold's recent work, "Our Bishops
and Deans" General T. NJ. Logan, OF
Richmond, gives a very favorable view
of the industrial future of the new
South; and his instructive article is very
happily supplemented by Mr.. Handy's
thrilling description of "Confederate
Make-shifts" during the late war. The
Editors Easy Chair is in it's pleasantest
vein this month. Nothing could be
more delightful than its musings over
the musical concerts of by-gone days in

The subscriptions for the first book of
George Eliot's new novel, "Daniel De-
ronda," have reached total of 1000
copies, already, and it is expected that
10000 copies of this edition of the work
will be sold. By the terms of the troy
atty" arrangement which the author
has made with her publishers, it is be-
lieved that she will receive a sum of
over $4,000 as her share of the profits
derived from the first edition. This is,
Of course, apart from the permanent
revenue she is expected to obtain for
many years to come from the sale of
the cheaper editions.

Judge Taft, accompanied by Secreta-
ries Robson and Chandler, called on
the morning of the 11th at the Execu-
tive Mansion, and there met Chief JUS
tice Waite, who administered the oath of
office to the new Secretary of War, after
which he proceed to the War Depart
ment and began the duties of his office.
He was engaged during the day in max
ing the acquaintance of the officers in
charge of the various bureaus requiring
attention. The officers of the army in
Washington made formal calls on the
new Secretary on Monday.
