A very interesting report of several day’s proceedings of the South Carolina Legislature, up to and including the 4th instant, from one of our Columbia correspondents, appears in our columns this morning. With these legis- lators the negro appears to pe the elephant with which they do not know what to do; but the majority of the propositions regarding him —_ introduced appear to be designed to reduce him back to 4s near a condition of slavery as possible under a state of nominal freedom. Some of the members express strong apprehensions of negro insurrections, and bills have ‘therefore been reported for the purpose of empowering State officers to seize all firearms found in the possession of the (reedmen, to prever them from hereafter becom- ing possessed of arms, and to punish with severity any White person proposing to sell the same to them. Mea- Jures aro also proposed to shut up shops kept by the treedmen, and to prohibit any white person employing a hegro servant without the written consent of his or her Jormer master having first been obtained. The South Carolinians are very anxious for the removal from their anidst of all the national troops and the organization of their State militia, Major General Kilpatrick, of Now Jersey, the distin- guished cavalry leader, has received the appointment of United States Minister in Chile, and expects (0 leave svon for the capital of that republic.

Since previous reports there havé been no new cases of cholera among the steamship Atalanta’s passengers, nd no additional deaths among those attacked, and it is hoped the disease will soon entirely disappear, The cabin passengers of the Atalanta, in a communication which they have sent to us, present to the public a state- ment of their case, They complain in regard to not be- ing allowed to come to the city, although thete is not and has not been a single case of cholera among them, Though our State election is over, the people of the ‘metropolis will soon again be in the midst of a political excitement, for which preparations are already. making by the old campaigners as well as the new recruits. Our municipal election will take place on the Sth of next month, when no less than sixty-three different officers, or twenty-four more than we were called upon to choose last Tuesday, are to be voted for. These are a Mayor, Corporation Counsel, eight Aldermen, twenty-four Councilmen, twenty-two School Commissioners and seven School Inspectors. Numerous candidates are already suggested for the various posi- tions, especially that of Mayor, as will be seen by the heavy list in another column. ‘At the meeting of the Fire Commissioners yesterday a new system of fire alarms was adopted, and will go into operation at noon on Wednesday next. After that time the fire bells below Fourteenth street will not be struck for district fires, but instead the bellringers will telegraph over the wires the number of the signa! station nearest to which the fire is, and will afterwards strike on their bells the number of the station. There are so far seventy-three of these signal stations located. The manner of denoting them on the bells, together with other very Interesting particulars of the new system, is fully described in another portion of our issue this morning. The arrangements appear some- what complicated; but it is believed that after a little experience they will prove simpler and much more eft- cient than the old plan, John Brown, formerly a member of the Fifty-eventh Tiinois regiment, appeared yesterday before Judge Clerke, of tae Supreme Court, at chambers, and asked for an order for the arrest of aman named Brosman, keeping a drinking establishment in Jersey City, whom Brown charged with swindling him out of considerable sums of money. The story told by Mr. Brown was a somewhat interesting one. He stated that after his term of service had expired he resided for some time in Bros- man’s house, where a woman, representing herself as proprictress and as being Brosman’s siater, succeeded in winning his affections, under the pretence that she was a widow, and also in getting possession of most of his funds, So far did the matter go that, according to Brown’s statement, an engagement of marriage between him and the self-styled widow was entered into, and pre- parations for the wedding were made. But, so soon as Brosman and the widow had succeeded in getting all the money from him they could, Mr. Brown alleges, they professed not to know him, forbade his entering their house, and declared themselves husband and wife. The order of arreat was granted by the Judge. Judge Cardozo, of the Court of Common Pleas, yes- terday had before Lim an application of a woman named Elizabeth Graff for the restoration of her stepson, who was arrosted on the street by a policoman as a vagrant, and committed to the Juvenile Asylum by a police clerk without notice being served on his stepmother. The Judge decided in favor of the application, ruling that the action of the police clerk was illegal. General Hashem and the two ether members of the embassy from Tuiig took their final departure from this city yesterday for Boston. They will spend nearly two weeks in visiting places of interest in New England, after which they wil proceed to Halifax, whence they will take passage for Europe. Mr. H. D. Ellsworth, a passenger on the steamship Re- public, sunk off the Georgia coast on the 26th ult., sends us a statement, in addition to those we have already published, in regard to the loss of that vessel and the subsequent suffering of those who escaped from her in the boats, Her commander, Captain Young, Mr. Ells- worth thinks, did all he could under the circumstances, and should not be censured; bat it is insisted that the owners of the steamer are to blame for gross disregard of human life in sending her to sea, as it Is alleged she was entirely unseaworthy. The Republic was formerly the Tennessee, and was in government service during the war as a transport. A card to the pubiie from the association of musicians of this city known ax the Musical Mutual Protective Union appéars in this morning's Heravp, in which is given a statement of the history, objects and prospects of the soviety. The members believe that if their difll- culties with the theatrical managers were better under- stood the people generally would condemn the conduc of the Jatter, and the sympathy of the laboring men of every class is regarded as due to the Union.

The subject of our claims for depredatjons committed by the Anglo-rebel cruisers, which at present has avery embarrassing aspect, is evidently re- garded as the most serious one of the day for the British government to handle. The press generally, and particularly the leading London journals, are much occupied with it, and the grave and earnest tone of their articles shows what importance they attach to it. The London Times speaks fof it as “a question involving, not remotely, the lives, may be, of millions, and the honor, not to say safety, of this whole (British) empire.” Indeed, the Times seems to think that the only reason why’ Earl Russell should be premier, now Lord Palmerston is dead, is because “he knows all the ins and outs” of this subject; because “he has a style suited to the work and his antagonists,” and because “his hand is in it.” “Viewed in this light,” it is said, “he is a mecessity,” and “che country, through her Majesty, and with scarcely a choice in the matter, has engaged a man of the longest experience and the highest note for a difficult emergency in our foreign relations.” It is thought Earl Russell may be the best match for the “interminable Mr. Seward” in a “tussle of arguments, prece- dents and authorities” on the subject, and for this reason he is reluctantly accepted as Prime Minister. Such is the view taken by the load- ing British press of the present relations be- tween England and the United States, growing out of those claims which formed the subject of the Adams-Russell correspondence, lately pub- lished. The Times exhibits an ill-concealed anxiety and impatience in this matter, under cover of the insidious attack on Earl Russell. It calls for an immediate settlement of the difficu)ty. It says emphatically, “there is no postponement,” “now or never is the time.” Very well; we, too, want it settled immediately, if the British government is ready to admit the claims. If that be the intention and what is meant by this demand for a prompt settlement, the difleulty can soon be adjusted by appointing a commis- | sion to ascertain the amount of damages done by the Alabama and her piratical consorts, which were let loose Trom England, and by making provisions for the payment. This would be acting in a friendly and highly hon- orable manner, and would give us a better impression than we have had lately of British good will. But if it is meant that the English government intends to persist im not ad- mitting these claims, and that now is the right time to crowd us into’ submission to that view of the case, we give notice that this country is not ready to settle on anz such terms: Does the Times think our domestic. embarrassments are such that if pushed upon this question we would submit to conditions that we would not under other circumstsnces ? Is that what it means by “now or neveris the time” to make a settlement? If so; it shows ignorance of our condition, and of the spirit and power of the country. The principle upon which England, as well as. France and other European monarchies, acted, when they di- rectly or indirectly attempted to wealen {his republic and republican institutions on this continent, is no longer applicable: The prin- ciple, if principle it can be called, of taking advantage of the troubles, embarrassments, or weakness of a rival or neighbor:to: strike him down, would be considered mean, if not base, in individuals, Yet such was the conduct of those Powers towards us during tle war: Eng- land must not suppose, however; that we are in the same condition: now, or that the: govern- ment is not able and determined’ to: maintain the rights and vindicate the honor of the:coun- try. We are at peace now, thie progress of restoration, harmony and commercial inter- communication is going on rapidly; intact, the vitality, energy and‘ good sense of the people of both sections will soon obliterate past troubles and losses, and make the nation stronger than ever.

A number of Canadian residents of this city propose to have a social reunion at one of our Broadway hotels on Wednesday evening next, and invitations to attend have been seot to a number of natives of the province living in different parts of this country. d ‘The stock market was dull and lower yesterday, Gov- crpments continued depressed, Gold was firm, and:elwsed at 146%.

Tue DeveLorment or THE SouTH.—It used to be maintained by Southern men that Southern plantations could not be made profitable by white labor, and that therefore the abolition of This was one of the hardest worked of all the false arguments used to uphold “the pecutiar institution.” But we have changed all that. Scarcely aday goes by that we do not get a letter or circular of some | sort from the South, telling in the most glowing | terms of the richness of some agricultural | region—of the cheapness of larid—and alro how wonderfully productive white labor will a desert waste. make it.

Club. city was the Union. That institution, however, element was introduced, but accompliehed nothing. Finally, when the war broke out, the republican politicians among the members de- cided that they ought to have a club of their own, and the result was the Union League Club, which is now very flourishing and prosperous, especially in conceitand currency. It seems that the democrats have determined to offset the republicans by a new club, to be called the Manhattan, and to be devoted to the propa- gation of democratic doctrines and the culti- vation of the social amenities, A fine building, handsomely furnished, has been purchased at the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifteenth street, and at an expense of one hundred and ten thou- sand dollars. Jobn Van Buren is the president of the new club, and the voters of the State have kindly allowed him to devote all his time and attention to the onerous duties of this position. In England politics are managed by clubs. The Carlton Club is the headquarters of the tory party, and defeated Gladstone at Oxford recently. The Reform Club is the po- litical and social centre of the liberal party. If we correctly understand the object of the founders of the Manhattan Club, it is to occupy the same relation to the Union League that the Reform Club does to the Carlton. Our foreign visitors will be received and entertained there ina style fully equal to that of Sir Morton Peto’s dinner at Delmonico’s. This club is to supersede the political halls—such as Tammany Hall and Mozart Hall—tor all inside work of political campgigns. The:result of the election inthis State last week shows unquestionably: that political clubs are now the political centres. Of the numerous repub- lican State Senators elected, nearly every one isa member of a loyal league club, or was put in nomination by such an organization. The same influence is seen in the list of republican Assemblymen, headed’ by Lyman Tremain. During the late war the Union League Club of this city entertained generals, statesmen and foreign tourists, held mass meetings, presented flags to negro regi- ments and was pretty extensively advertised by the reporters for the press. Its members believe that the club elected Lincoln for a second term. They dream:about it at night and talk about it allday. The democrats, being withont such a headquarters, have conducted themselves most unsocially and intiospitably, lost many op- portunities of gaining popularity, and have been badly defeated. The Mamhattan Club is de- signed to-prevent a repetition of such disastars. It will endeavor to be: to: the democratic party what the Union League: Club claim to have been to ite republican party. These political clubs, # novelty till lately, are curious institutions, and we shall baye several suggestions to make in regard to their origin, management, and, perhaps, as their pur- poses, are- practically developed, they may:be the subject of frequent remark in these columns; but at present we merely call atten- tion to the fact of the formation of this sew club, and to the copy of its constitution whioh we publish. in another past of this paper.

Tue Prorrrs or Manvracrorers.—The sub- ject of the enormous profits now beimg realized by the cotton manufacturers in this country is very naturally attracting the attention of the public. The prices now demanded for every description of domestics are without a parallel in the history of manufactures, taking the price of gold as a standard. We hear from good au- thority that on all light goods a profit of one dollar is made upon every pound of cotton used. All the New England mills are working every day and a greater part of the night, and’ their operations are only checked by the abso» Inte inability to procure the manual labor re- quired to keep thenr going. Hundreds of ope- ratives from the manufacturing districts in England are constantly arriving, and yet the demand for their services is far from being supplied. The stocks of all manufacturing companies are double their par rates, and there seems to be no immediate prospect of their falling below. This extraordinary activity in the manufacturing business of the country, in view of the probability of am export duty on cotton, is likely to continue for some time to come, and in order that the people may not become entirely the victims of the cotton na- bobs of New England it is necessary that the number of cotton mills should be multiplied. The entire Southern country presents a new and splendid field for investments of this kind. Besides having an abundance of water power, the fact of having the raw material directly at hand lends an additional and important in- ducement towards the starting of cotton manu- factories in that section of the: country. But, no matter where they may be commenced, or whether operated by steam or water power, it is obvious that the manufacturing power of the country should be largely increased, and every effort to accomplish that end is deserving en- couragement. Inrormatron Wantep.—We should like to know why the World newspaper has nothing to say of President Johnson’s conditions pre- cedent to Southern restoration, ineluding the ratification by each of the Southern State Legis- latures concerned of the great constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery. This; we may say, is the Tenge feature of President John- son’s Southern policy. What has the World to say upon the subject? No flinching. More Terrible Suffering at Sea. Mr. J. C. Nichols, agent for an extensive «Spanish house, arrived last evening at the Park Hotel, being one of fourteen passengers who sailed on board the brig Mary Ann for Havana. One of the members of the firm who were owners of the vessel, with his wife and two ebil- dren, was also on board, Tho vessel was wrecked off Frying-pan Shoals, and Mr. Nichola and nine others were taken in the first mate’s boat, and after four days of peril were picked up and kindly treated by the officers of the brig Brazil, and brought to this port Iaat evening. Four of this party died, one of them a female. The mem ber of the firm-end family, with the captain and others, took to the captain's boat, since which he has not heard ofthom. Mr. Nichols states that they wero obliged to open the veins of some of the party, and thus sarvived by sucking their blood. Have We Forni Sem Awona Us?—The information in reference tothe action of the French government rela. tive to complaints alleged to be lodged in the Custom Houso was olftained from a reliable reporter; who re- ceived it fromthe owner of a steamer which wassearched by two petsons, who represented thomsolves as- reven we officers, send ftom the Cuatom Howse to search her.

These officers (?) stated’ that the government of France had lodged complaints against five vessels and one hundred and twenty persons, specifying them by name.

FAUST MATINEE YESTBRDAY—CROWDED HOUSE AND BRILLIANT SUCCESS. Carcaco, Nov. 11; 1968. Faust was given to-day at the first matinée of tte sea- gon to a very large and brilliant house, composed attnogt exclusively of ladies. The manner in which it waspre- duced on Thursday, and the’ superb impersonation of Marguerite by Boachetti, which is the theme of universal |, commendation in at! quarters, compeited the manager to ‘repeat the opera We thought that there was hardiy any room for improvement in: the Arst performante; but it was in all respects better sung to day, The artists: are getting more familiar with the theatre and’ the audience, and’ the dimMdem which was at first observable has wholly vanished. Wo are confirmed in our opinion that Marguerite was never’ played! in this country so artistically and with such delt- cacy as by Signora Beschetti. She’ is all through the Marguerite of poetry. She belongs to the: poet as well ‘as the composer. Few more perfect pieces of acting have been seen upon the lyric stage than’ the garden scene, The temptation, the struggle with passion, the momentary triumph of the pure, simple musician, and the final surrender of the passionate woman's heart, dis- played‘ more of nature than of art. It limt a very senaibld effect upon the fhirer portion of'thie-audience, who doubtless penetrated thie emotional mysteries, which were half veiled to the sterner sex. If Raphael had lived to this-day he would hare found new inspiration in that scene.” Boschetti’s Marguerite is original. It is altogether tt ferent from what we have been accustomed to in many essential points. Her method of rendering the Jewel'song is new and touchingly poctic. She does not forget that+the Marguerite of Goethe was not a coquette of the nineteenth century, but’ a sim- ple peasant girl, of an innocent and loving na- ture, seeking almost unconsciously for sympathy and love, but not free from woman's vanity, caught for an instant by a few garish baubles, only to cast them aside when prompted by the impulses of an innocent’ heart. In anothor respect there was an innovation inher im- personation of the réle. Sho sang the ballad ‘‘A King in Thule” in more rapid time than is usual; but it appewrs that she studied the part undér Gounod ahd received from’him this interpretation of the spirit of the ¢om- position. The duo with Faust im-the third act wae an exquisite piece of vocalization, to the credit of which both Béschetti and Anastasia aro entitled. The fatter sang all through so delightfully as to leave little room for detailed criticism. His singu- larly prime voice was entirely under his control, andidee manded no effort'to attain the most difficult effects with clearness and precision, The applause was unuaually enthusiastic for-a matinée audience. Brandini was it better voice than-on Thursday night, and sang~ with more confidence. His acting of Mephistophiles could not be surpassed, especially in the second aot, in whicty his shrinking from the symbol of the cross, represented by the hilts of swords, was somethiag terrific to-look upon, Olgini’s Stebel was as charming as bdfore. She infuses a new spirit into that trifling part, and investe it with an interest which it has not. hitherto possessed. Fellini sang the réle of Valentine, such’ as it ia, im em- cellent style. So far the new arttsts have more than realized all that was expected of them, and we think Me. Grau may-feli- citate limself” upon the election he bas made of thie company. Next week a-new series of operas will be produced; commencing with Lucia on Monday, and Traviata om Tuesday. Om Wednesday the artists will have somo re pose. The ovent uf the season will be Gazzaniga’s debe, on Monday aight, for which the public are preparing themselves. The male chorus of imported singers de- serves a favorable notice, but the female portion needs ® little more training, and then -all will be wall.
