MOUNT CARMEL ASYLUM, SO PIETY STREET.
This asylum, because of it's location, way down
in the Third District, is not generally known
to our uptown readers and, consequently, re-

and help that is so generously bestowed by
the citizens of New Orleans upon all charits-
BILE institutions. 1t is nevertheless, one of the
largest and most needy Of our ssylums, it'
ordinary resources always small, having
nearly all been cnt off. and several of the Sis

three have died: Josephine Templet, aged
eight years and Julia Daigle aged fifteen, both
from the Parish of Assumption, and Celia

The Up-Country of South Carolina.

We publish this morning copioue
extracts from a South Carolina letter
to the Springfield Republican, an in
fuenital INDEPENDENT Republican
Journal of New England. The letter
is; written from Charleston, and gives
the writer's impression of the politi-
cal situation in Our sister State.
There is but Que portion Of this let
ter that calls for any present notice
1T our hands. The writer says:
"Tho fact is that there are two
strong opposi"g elemcn. III the,Dem
ccra,ic l,arty, Which divide a good
deal on the geographical line ot the
'up country and the 'lcw. c"nntry,'
the latter including the counties
along the c'sast, with Charleston as
the great centre, and the up conn-
try the more remote parts Of the
State, including the mountain coun-
ties and such districts as Edgcfeid,
where Gary. the leader Of Hampton's
opponents in the Legislature, lives.
Broadly speaking, the wealth and in
telligence Ct the State are in the 'low
country';the ignoranceand poverty in
the mp country AS q natural con-
sequence, liberalism, has it's headquar
ters in the country; bourbonism
in the 'np-country.'" ..,...
I'VE have nothing to say concern
ing Tire divisions in the Democratic
party OF South Carolina. We care
nothing about the differences that
ase said to exist between General
Hampton and General Gary. But
we think that the sneers Of this Char
leston correspondent, wLo probably
drew his"inspiration from his sur
roupdings, at the up~country of
South Carolina should not be allow~
ed to pass unnoticed. We shall not
dispute the justice of his compliment
to. the wealth. and intelligence and
libsralism of Charleston. It is we'll
deserved. Bnt when the correspon-
dent speaks Of the up country as the
home Of "ignorance" he simply dis
plays either prejudice or woful want
otihformation" The people of the
upsco1ntEy may be poorer than the
people tot Charleston, for they have
suffered much and have had to earn
their bread in the sweat of their
bfows, but there is just as much of
'education,j Just as much. of intelligence
of culture and refinement in tn cir
section of.the' State as in the favore d
region otthe,coaet. Who says other.
ise proves himself either grossly ig
nOrant or as gross a slanderer. Char
laston may be the home of liberalism
and the up country of bourbonism;
Weshall not quarrel about terms.
But who ever knows anything OF
I the political history of South Carroll
ma knows chat Bonrbonism freed the
State from the most calling tyranny
while the policy of liberalism would
have (no matter what the intention oi
its advocatee) ,rivetted its chains. Ii

Senator Buffers Seat.


A Washington special to the New
Times says letters have been receiv.
ed in that city from Senator Sharon
i of Nevada, in which he promises 70
assnme his Senatorial duties about
April 20. Mr.. Sharons term of
service as United States Senator
began March 4, 1876. but thus far
he is almost stranger to the Senate,
and is personally unknown to q ma.
jority of its members. 1t is said that
when Mr.. Sharon arrives the Com
mittee on Privileges and, Elections
will report on the case OF D. T.. Corr
bin, who contests the seat of Senator
Butler, of South Carolina. The conn
mittee have already considered all
the facta of the case, and majority
report will be made in favor Of the
contestant. Corbin can only be seat.
ed by the solid Republican vote, and
as Patterson and Conover have once
recorded themselves in favor of But
ler's claim to the scat, it is hot likely
that they will now reverse their
former. action on, the case. ... .,., ., -,
Whether Sharon comes to Wash~
ington. Or remains in California to
superintend his Spring Valley Water
Works swindle, Senator Butler can
not be unseated. The best lawyers
of the Senate have given it as their
opinion that General Butler was not
seated on a prima tacia case, but ON
the merits Of the case, and that he
cannot be unseated now except by
the two-thirds vote necessary to the
expulsion of member. It is con-
sidered almost certain that Senator
David Davis and Stanley Matthews
will vote gainst the. report of ,.th O.
majority Of the Committee on Pri-
vileges and Elections, and the vote
Of either one of them would defeat
the designs of the Radicals. : w @ do
not think there is the slightest pro-
liability of the admission of Corbin;
but if the Republican majority should
so far outrage law and decenoy as to
deprive General Butler OF the seat to
which he was legally elected, we
give them fair notice that retribntion
will be speedy and certain. The
Democrats will have an undoubted
majority when the new. Senate as
sembles, and the first act Of this ma
jority will be to kick Corbin out Of
the chamber, and every Radical
whose title to q seat is at all tainted
may be treated to a dose of the same
medicine.--Augueta Chronicle and

The BLAIR REsoLU1oN.-The joint
resolution of the Maryland Legisla-
ture, urging upon Congress the pas
sage of law for testing the title of
President Hayes, was passed in the
House yesterday andled it to lively
debate as to whether it should be re-
jected at once or referred to a COM
mi'tee for consideration. No decis-
ion was cached, but it seems pro,
bable from the tenor of the debate
that it will be referred. We pre-
sumo that no man of sense, either in
or oGt of Congress-, believes that a
serious attempt will be made to dis
possess President Hayes. There may
be Republicans who would gladly
annoy him and render him uneasy
respecting, his title as q means of
subjngaling him to party behests;
and there may be Democrats who
would be gIads.to magnify the eo~
called ''fraud" as an clcctioneering
topic, but beyond reference to a
committee nothing is likely to be
dono on this subject. 8 Nine-tentbs

and Brown. 1t was Bourbonism
(born of the ignorance and, poverty
OF the pp-country) that gave the
State Hampton, Hagood, Haskell,
Lipscomb, Butler; Aldrich, and

terms with the spoilers. Bourbon
ism would make no compromise
with corruption: Liberalism would
have abandoned the fight against
fraud in despair and been content
with the smallest crumbs of power
that fell from the Radical table,
Bourbonism, ''ignorant and poor"
was determined to have liberty and
honest government at any cost. In
brief, liberalism sought to make

the following comments on the above:
"The statistics 1870 shows a
wealth i'll the up-country some
twenty millions greater than that of
Charleston and the coast counties
combined. This valuation since that
time, even then mythical, has sunk
to a mere nothing out of Charleston,
and there even, it has doubtless de-
c!ined. The up~couutry on the other
hand has enhanced in aggregate val
nation In nsome portions there is a
very large and evident enhanconicnt
whilst in others there has been an
actual decline or little or no Increase
Of valuation. If All honest assess
ment Of The true values of the State
were made to-day thero can be little
doubt that The property valuation Of
the npecountry would exceed th at of
the low-counxy by at least 100000

Among the Semiuolc Indians there
is a tradition regarding tho white
mans origin and superiority. They
say when the Great Spirit made the
earth he also nade the three men, all
Of whom were fair conplexirned,
and that after making them lie led
them to The mar in Of small lake,
and bid them leap in and wash. One
obeyed, and came ont .purer and
fairer than before; the second hesi-
tated moment during which time
tue water, agNated by the first, had
become muddled, and when lie bath.
ed, he came up copper colored; the
third did not leap until the water be,
came black with mud, and he came
out with his own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three
packages, and out ct pity for bis mis-,
fortunes in color, gave the black man
the first choice. He took hold OF
each of the packages, and having
felt the weight chose the heaviest:
the copper coloreda man chose "the
next hea West, leaving the white man
the lightest. When the packages
were opened the first was found Ia
contain spades, hoes, and all the. i'm
pliments of labor; the second M
raped hunting, fishing, and warlike
apparatus; the third gave the white
man pens inks, and paper, the en-
gine of the mind-tho means of mu-
tual mental improvement, the social
link OF humanity, the foundation Of
the white mans superiority.
