number of aliens would be under the
laws Of South Carolina If Nichols re
grets his virtual reputation of the prom.
ises he made in behalf of the Bull Dozers
of the Pelican State, and of which he has
been so guilty in the case of the Return
ing Board, he evidently shrinks from
indicating it for fear of losing caste with
the mob rabble which compelled his
recognition last Spring, nominally as
Governor, but really as the instrument
Of their malice and relentless hate of po
litical opponents With such a harvest
of the aftermath of the "conciliatior
policy" it is no longer possible to give il
even an appearance of popularity among
Republican members of Congress. and
there appears growing disposition
among those who have advocated the
greatest latitude for experiment to hold
every one who have exercised to right
to a stern account for the fruits that have
resulted. -.--
European affairs have been more dis
cussed during the past week than during
all the preceding months of the war; and
among neither of the two parties to our
late ciyil-confiict, is there observable any
marked degree of sympathy for John
Bull, now that calamities threaten and
fear eometb. 1t seems.to he-felt that i
he has at last fallen victim to his game
of duplicity and double dealing, 1t was q
fate he had provoked by foreign policy
dictated by no higher interests than those
of the most grovelling avarice and heart
less selhshness. Some of the chickens
incubated and hatched during our rebel
lion are evidently finding their way home
to roost. -... -... F.. ~.
The reconciliation question has drag,
gedits slow length along another week,
and it is still unsafe to predict when a
vote will be reached. Its decided oppo-
nents, and those not classed as its friends
have occupied most of the time during
the week.
The close vote on the proposition to
substantially revive the income tax law,
with subsequent indications, leads to the
belief that another and successful effort
may be made by its movers. Almost
two-thirds-the majority needed to pass
it-yoted in its favor in the House; and
there is disposition to classify the ayes
and nays and to base calculations as to
the result of the next vote, on the world
possessions of members, those fortunate
in this respect having much to say of the
odious character Of the income tar law,
and those deficient claiming it as the
most equitable method Of imposing tax
alton.
A good deal of zeal noticed among the
Reformers of Growers drag-net commit
tees has forgotten them in the presence
of the curious not to say criminal, devel-
opments in the case of doorkeeper Polk.
His election seems to have been sort of
put up job by those having claims before
Committees, including members and out
siders; and the evidence of guilt in vari-
GUS directions, so far adduced, could not
well be more conclusive; Congressman
Reformers Jones, (W. H )and Phelps and
Lander, Conn have been implicated, it
appears, in way not at all to their cred
1T. The great Democratic party awaits
further developments with painful anx-
iety not to say absolute CONSERVATION.
Even the names of such clamorous pa
triots as Gordon, Lamar and Hill are
heard whispered in suspicious connec-
ton. Notwithstanding the defeat of the
whiskey and subsidy lobbies, it is said
they are working to reverse the decision
against them.
Last week a Washingtonian suicided
and a poor victim of mans peridy died
Of ofmalpractice, and was refused Christian
burial from the Grace NJ. E. Church by
three over righteous trustees.
Friday night another suicide; and our
city is gaining an unenviable notoriety
in other respects than divorces and whis
key drinking excesses.
Murphy had an audience of 10000 on
Friday night, and he remains another
week. MAXWELL.
