To show what Radical reconstruction is doing for South Carolina, -we need but refer to the fact that tho "Mills House" hotel, in Charleston, which was built bofore tho war, and cost 8200,000 in gold, was sold on tho 2d of April for ?27, 000. It is ono of tho finest hotels in tho United States, but reconstuction Las depreciated its value wonderfully. Good Atvice. The New York Ra tion, an excessively loyal journal dur ing and since tbo war, wants Gen. Grant to rid himself of his "wicked 'partners." This is good advice, but rather sweeping in its demands. Should "the government" act opon tho suggestion of I ho journal in ques tion, it would send all tbo leaders of tho Radical party adrift, and conse quently broak it up. A Dead Lock. Tho MaEsachusetts Legislature has been trying for three weeks past to cloct a Senator to fill tho vacancy cau?od by tho death of Sumnor. Tho Democrats, about 75, volo for Judgo Curtis; tho refined and educated .Radicals, about 80, vole for Judgo Hoar; and the Houghs, headed by Bon Butler; from 83 to 90, vote for Congressman Dawes, while General Banks, Mr. Adams and several other candidates receive from, ono to ten votos each. An exchange states that "Vice-President Wilson leaves Washington for his homo in Massachusetts a few days hence. After spending some time there he intends going to the Hot Springs, Arkansas." This govern ment official is compelled to do a good doal of tramping lo get the Credit Hobilicr fraud out of his stomach. "Smilor" Colfux, is tho only great criminal who "takes tho world easy." m At "Work Again. The Legislature having adjourned over from the 27th Of March to tho 7tb of April, fur rcsl and recreation, is at work onco more. Tho safary of tho members seems to bo tho most interesting, although up to tho proscot tbo most trouhlesomo, question thut lias been before that body this winter. AVo liavo no doubt that an attempt will ho mado to draw tlio $1,000 salary and call tho past sitting a session, and then chargo $10 per day for the balance of tho session., In for Business. An exchange ro marks I "It is proposed now to coin silvor twonly cent pieces. A bill pro viding for this has been favorably re ported from the Scnalo Finance Com mittee." This new govornmont on torprir,o is scarcely necessary. Why ongage in tho 20 cent business when Wo liavo not silver enough to make a few 5 and 10 cent bits. This ecliemo is on a par with tho government at tempt of resuming spocie paymont by paying out $3, at ono sweep, lo each cmplojo. Tho Philadelphia Press says: "Com missioncr Douglass, of tho Internal Jlovonue Bureau, testifies thot he bo Jiovcs all tho moneys collected by San born and his agents could l.avo been collceted by tho regularly appointed and salaried internal rovenue officers without expense to the Government. This doos not improvo the comploxion of tho Sanborn business" This is cer tainly rough on the govornmont and Ben Butler, who have brod and now together defend the worst band of I'ublio robbers that ovei dingractd Tuui ah I'ueacujnu. Civil war al most exists in Pittsburg and through out Allegheny county on aocount of tho recont assessment made by tho Assessors in that county, which has bcroloforo boon assessed bo misera bly low that tho County Commission ers were compelled to lay 10 mills for county purposes, although tho richest county in the Stato. Tho Pittsburg Leader, in refcring to tho now assess ment, remarks : "Assessment is not taxation, but only tho basis for it. Give us fair and honest assessment of property without fear or favor, and it will bo time to object when more rnillago is put upon tho pooplo than is necessary for the county expenses. If the taxation levied on tho now assess ments be exorbitant, we will join in denouncing it, but to denounco tho at tempt to muko honest assessments be cause the taxes may bo raised on thorn, is puerile." It Is seldom thai wo find upon this Bubject so much law and common senso in tho samo num ber of lines. A Riout About Face. Tho tax payers of South Carolina having been robbed of nearly all they poseosscd by tlio black and white froo-boolors who have ruled in that State for tho past ten years, bnvo mado an appeal to the President for relief, through a delega tion of property ownors, who repaired to the White House- on Fridoy lust and laid their grievances beforo "tho govornmont." The President respond ed that ho was glad to meet the dolo- rgates and very sincerely deplored the alleged grievances with which they, in common with tho taxpaying com munity of the Stnto, wero afllictod. IIo did not, however, bco wherein Ihe cxecutivo or legislative branch of tho government could interfcro with State affairs. This is decidedly cool, whon we lake the conduct of Grant in the Louisiana caso into consideration, where ho removed the Governor and Legislature elect, and pluccd a lot of scalawnss in power through a mili tary order. Wo should say, after this last act, that the Presidential compaBs is pretty well boscd. The Senate Disgusted. A Wash ington despatch to the Boston Globe, speaking of Chaplain Sunderland's prayer over Mr. Sumner, says: "By special request of tho Committee of Arrangements, it was agreed that no publio address or sermon should bo pronounoed at tho exercises. As shown above, howevor, tho chaplain of the Senate took occassion to offer a prayer, after tho reading of the Scrip turcs, wherein ho injected not only a sermon, but a stump speech. It waff the general opinion that tho chaplain not only transgressed the bounds of propriety, but inflicted alike upon dead and living a discourse from which there was no escape. His prayer continued for nt least half an hour, to tbo utter disgust of tho cntiro audi ence, itio popular verdict was that tho Senate should at oneo soled a new chnplain. Not only was tho length of the prayer entirely out of place, but tbo tone in which it was dolivorcd was as affected as if it had proceeded from a common actor on Ihe stage." Gen. Hawley on Butler. One of the sovcresl paragraphs uttered by the press on Butler is tho following by General Ilawley's paper, the Hartford Courant : . "Tho Washington corros pondonteannounce lhatGenoral Butler will bo among the eulogists of Mr. Sumner when his death is announced in tho Houso. If thocsscx statesman had nny rogard for the fitness of things or of tho wishesof tho American pooplo, he would hold his tongue on this occa sion; but it offers him anothor oppor tunity to keep himself before tho public, and for this purpose he will speak hollow words of eulogy for one who, in tho purity jf his public and private lifo, was his anlipodo, and whoso virtues must scorn to bim incom prehensible - He will pruiso tho doad Charles Sumner, whom Iivinghohated. Ho will mount tbo coffin in ordor that the public may see B. F. Butler. It is as if a charlatan should cover Sumner's gravo with posters of his quack medicines. Senrirle Views. John B. Gougb, tho celebrated tempcranco orator, is not pleased with tho woman crusado on tho saloons. Jie says: "1 would be unwilling to sco my wife or my nioces going ubout among tho saloons, praying, and singing hymns. I think tho movement would help tho woman suffrage cause very ranch, and I have always had a sort of dislike to tho wo man sntlrago business, ihe luoa oi a band of ladies going through the slrcots singing hymns and praying, is repugnant to mo.

Judgo Duroll's orders in bankruptcy proceedings in Louisiana have boon unoarthed. They are models of judiciul logerdomain.

The Chicago Tribune says: Wo advanced tho opinion, a day or two since that it probably would not nt present bo prudent for skilled or unskilled laborers to immi grate to this country. A proof of this is found in tho fuel that first clans car penters in this city, who wero employ ed a year ago at 83 por day, are now glad to get tl.fiO. So great has been tho decline In the cost of labor that tho Board of Kduoation has just let for 88,200 a contract for building a school ho u ro after tho model of ono built last year for $",000.

Mr. Editor : The following, writ ton to a country paper, by a goutlo man of somo exporionoo in Stato af fairs, who had visitod Harrisburg, un dor both the old and the new Consti tution, is as good evideuco of the salu tary boifffit tho new Constitution has conferred upon tho work of legislation horo, whon it prohibits tho assistance of a lobby, and tho introduction of special legislation lor the benefit ul tlio low and tho injury of tho many, as bus over met my eye. Aflor de scribing our cily, speaking of our now water works, the valuable- and per fect machinery turned out by our largo manufacturing establishments, iio., tho writer says : "Although our business was nut 'on the Hill' or in tho hotels, whoro legislative wisdom and lubby impudonco wero wont to congregate, wo could not fail to bo im pressed with tho mnrkod contrast bo tweon Harrisburg under the new and tho old Constitution. Tho faces so familiar around tlio 'Lochiol' in tho prosperous days of the lobby wore not to bo soon at the dinnor hour. They were also invisible on Ihe floor and in the lobbies of tho Senate and Houso. In lh former we were ono of tho only two oulsidors prosnnt, and a prominent Senator assurod us that what wo saw was a fair average of the prcsont session. Tbo consequonce is that tho Senuto is rising to tho dig nity of a deliberative body, and wo have no doubt that by tho lime the machinery of tho now Constitution is fully in operation tbo improvement in tho House will bo no less marked. It certainly will bo if tho peoplo at tho next election of Representatives take as much interest in ulocting good mon as they did in changing their funda mental law. Tho old ring-masters still show their hands and their power in shaping legislation to suit thoir high prcssuro parly purposes, regardless in many instances of tho wishes and in terests of the masses, and this evil will not be curod until the pooplo elocl new men of a more patriotio and con sequently less selfish nuluro men who aspiro lo be statesmen rather than politicians." Following is the text of the bill be fore tho Legislature to secure tho at tendance of children nt school. Section 1. Every parent, guardian or other person having control of any child between tho ages of eight and fourteen years residing in any school district in which a school Is taught for three months, or moro, annually, with in ono milo by tho nearest traveled road of tho rcsidonco of such child, shall instruct or cause such child to bo instructed in reading, writing, ge ography, and arithmetic, and every person having control of such child shall causo such child to attend somo school at least twelve weeks in each year, eight weeks of which shall be consecutive, or shall causo such child to bo instructed at home or elsewhere Al least twolvo weeks in each year in tho branches abovo nnmod, unless the physical .or mental condition of the child Is snch as to render such attend: ance unfit or impracticable, or unless the child shall bo reasonably proficient in said branches. Sec. 2. It shall bo the duty of the school directors or controllers hav ing control of any school to prose cute for all violations of section one of this act in their district, and any ono who shall violnlo said section one shall be punished by a fino of not loss than fifty cents and not moro than five dollars, payable into tho school treas ury of tho dislrict in which he rcsidos, for every weok, not exceeding twelve woeks, in any ono year during which he shall have failed to comply with the provition of said section ; Baid fino, when recovered, to bo paid into tho school treasury of tho district whoro tho penally or fine was first incurred. Si:o. 3. The school directors or con trollers having control of nny school wbero a written notice hns been sorved by any taxpayer upon nny two or more ot them stating ly whom, wbcre and how any snch penalty has boon in currcd. who shall ncvloct for ton days after tho service of such notico upon thorn to institute a suit for the recovery thoreof, unloss snch ponalty shnll sooner be paid without suit, or unless upon investigation during that time they shall be satisfied that no penally has actually been incurred, shall forfeit and pny the sum not less than five dollars nor moro than nllcen dollars for each neglect, to be recov ered as may herealier bo providod in any court of competent jurisdiction ; such penalty when recovcrod to be paid to tho school treasurer for the uso of tho dislrict in which the ponalty was incurred. Sr.o. 1. It shall bethodutyof tlio col lector or directors having tho chargo of any school, upon application, to furnish any child between iho ages of eight and lourtecn years ot ago resid ing in Iheirdistrict with the nocossary hooks when it shall appear that the pnrcnt or other person having control ot said child is in indigent oircumstnn ces and is desirous of sending such child to school, and bucIi books shall bo paid for from tho treasury of tho school district by orders drawn there upon by tho proper officers. Sec. 5. The diroclors or controllers hnving chargo of any publio school shall render anuully a report lo the county superintendent, showing the number and result ol prosecutions un der this act, the number of children, if any. between tho ages of eight and fourteen years of ago who have not attended any school or who havo not been mslructod in accordance with section one. Sec 6. All suits under this act shall be an action of dobt in the name of tho peoplo of the Stato of Pennsylvania and for tho use of tho district whore the ofTonno shall have been oommillod. Tho opinions of newspapor mon are decidedly hostile to this bill wborover it has been tho subject of notice in thoir columns. Thoy mostly claim that tho timo has not yet arrived in the history when mon, paionls, shall bo dictated to by a Stale Legislature in regard to the schooling of their children. Prof, llorno, of tho K up town normal school, disapproves of Iho bill, and says as follows: "Tho compulsory altoudunce bill institutes a system of polico cspionago and burthening of conscience, which even the most unlimited monarchy would not daro attempt lo carry into execu tion a bill which, in its proposed shape, will prove a doad loiter, inas much as a fine of $00 imposed, as tho bill contemplates, upon poor parents for failure of sending their children to school twolve wocks in a year, cnnnol bo collected, in nine cases out of ton, from the persons whom the luw pro poses to reach a bill which holds out inducements and temptations to dis honesty and provarications, and it is Ibo first stop In a froe country like ours to force men to education, moral aod rsbgious, in oppositioq lo consci onltous convictions and freo will, un initiatory to a union of Church and State, from which "proservo us gra cious Lord and God. Messrs. Urvls and -Reynolds, who mnko a minority roport in the Cnss villo slandor, recommend, "that tho proprietorship and control of the Sol diers Orphans Schools should be trans ferred lo the Stato and Stato authori ties. That tho girls hud boys bo edu cated and maintained in sclioolsscpa- rately sot apart for each other. The separation of tho sexes at the age nt which scholars aro rccoived and cared for in tho Orphans Schools Is a measure of reform which wo boliovo will com mend itself to tho gonoral judgment without argument. Iho unlortunato scandal at Cassvillo, only enforces the propriety ol a change in this rospoct without originating tho reason for It." I lio purchaso of thoso orphan school buildings by tho Stato can't bo objected lo on Iho score of economy, nono of the proprietors ot thoso schools are generous enough to furnish tho build ing gratis nocossary for their business, although owned by Ilium, tho build ings are nono tho loss a part of the Mate charily, and some of the proprie tors have managed to sccuro snug for tunes out of the difference which tho State pays and the poor orphan cols. It is true that beforo many years thnro will bo no orphans of soldiers of such lender years as to require Stato aid, but tho time is yot long enough t warrant the stoppago of tbo present vicious system ot (arming out children to anybody, lours truly, E. L. R. .,.. Rests from His Labors. Rev. Thcopliilui Slork, D. D , an eminnnt Lutheran divine, died in Philadelphia on Saturday a week, aged about- 00 years. .Tho Press says : - Ho was a native ol North Carolina, but camo north early in lifo, and was for many years pastor ol tho churches ol M. Matthew and St. Maik.rin this citv. lie was subsequently chosen prcsidont ot cowberry tollego, in Houlli Caro lina, but on tho oulbroak of tho rebel lion he came North, and becamo pastor r,f yt tti.i,. i'k.i. : u..i.' He remained in Baltimore about six years, being during half that period editor of tho Lutheran Observer. In I8li8 Dr. Stork again came to Phila delphia, and assumod tho pastorate of ibt. Andrew s church, winch he held until about two years since, when he was compelled by ill health to resign the charge. At tho time of bis death be was editor of tho Lutheran Home Monthly. Gold Toom picks ron Senators. Quito a spicy little debato, full of indignation against what Senators flippantly characterised as"newspapcr chargos, took placo in the Senate on un editorial of ihe Boston Advertiser alleging that gold toothpicks, car tickets, sponge, Ac , had been pur chased al tho publio expense for Senators and Representatives. The officiul facts do not make tho applica tion qnito so personal as alleged, bul they do show that a gold toothpick and car-tickets and funcy articles have been purchased for tho uso of tho American Senate, as a roference to the report of its own Secretary will show. Overboard. Col. Robert Harlan, colored, of Cincinnati, has been Special Mail Agent for some time, but his official hend has been remcved to give place to Mr. G. W. C. Johnston, of Lobunon,Ohio, who married a niece of Mrs. President Grant. N o have long felt that Grant has been neglecting his relations, and we are glad to soo bim going back to the good old prac tice of putting them in offices as fust as they are discovered. But who will care for Harlan now f Capitol Arabs. An exchange says: Ilarritburg hotels, Ac., are dull placos this winter. Tho flashy jeweled Ira ternity no longer hover around the pluces wbero Senators and Represen tatives aro wont to gather between sessions. The new Constitution did tho business, and tho Arabs of the Capitol havo "folded their touts and silently stolen away." And their banishment will save moro to the pooplo of the Stato in two years than tho entire cost of the instrument which drovo thorn from the cupitul. Tho Now York Sun makes this caustio hit at Iho cily of "hrothorly lovp :" It is a curious fuct that there is now among the statutes of Pennsyl vania a law prohibiting non-residents from selling goods by sample, card, or otherwise in tlio city of Philadel phia under a ponalty of $300 fine, one iiulf of which goes lo tlio informor. A license for a non-rosident to sell goods costs 1300. Of courso this statute will havo to bo ropenlod beforo the Centennial. All liicn Now. An exchangs says: The passage, of Mr. Morrimon's amend ment, which provides for tho Issuing of $10,000,000 moro currency, Is re garded as a setllomonl of tbo currency fight in Congress for the present ses sion. If this increase of currency doos not make everybody happy and and suddonly rich it will bo easy to inflate to the extent of a hundred mil lions, or two or three times that much, il nooa bo, at tho next Bosion.
