Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO , No. 10 Broad street. Charleston, S. C. Wat <gfynfe$bm gfetog TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1873. THK CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS "ls designa ..ted as the newspaper for the publication of "all legal notices, and official advertisements, "for the County of Charleston, ander the act "of February 22d, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late the publication of all legal and public "notices." HEWS OE THE DAT. . -The woollen mills la Massachusetts are re? ported to be stopped on account ot the pre? sent high price of the raw material. -It Ia believed that wU^full reports can be obtained it will be found that nearly five hundred persons lost their lives in Minnesota daring the recent snow storm. -John E. Owens, the comedian, tired of travelling, has concluded to settle down In his native City of Baltimore, and build a museum-theatre there. -The attempt of theatre managers in New York to abolish bill-boards was a failure. Two of them put out. bigger posters than ever, I and thus forced the others back to the old I system. -The presence of reporters is opposed at the regular weekly meetings ot Methodist preachers in New York, because only such parts ot the proceedings as are of interest to j the secular public get noticed. j -It ls-proposed to station a steamet two or three hundred miles east ot Sandy Hook, connecting her by a submarine wire with tbe I signal service station in New York, so that she could give warning of approaching storms to inward-bound vessels. -Mr. James Ashbury has sold bis celebra? ted yacht, the Livonia, to Mr. Thomas Bras? sey, M. P., taking ia exchange the latter's I steam yatch Eothen, which will be recollect? ed as having visited these waters last fall. Mr. Ashbury also threw in his little steamer Merlin to boot. -Monticello, the estate of Thomas Jeffer- J son, subsequently owned by Commodore Levy,' J and by the latter bequeathed in trust lor a I j farm school for the orphan sons of warrant i officers In the navy, ls now Tn litigation at Richmond, between the State ot Virginia as trustee and the heirs of Commodore Levy. -Pore Hyacinthe made his first public ap? pearance in Paris, since his change in eccle? siastical and social position, on the first Sun. day evening of the year, delivering an address to a large mixed audience In H. Pressense's chapel, Taitbout, In the Rue de Provence. He defined his position as a faithful Catholic, though not accepting certain dogmas. -A census of Cuba has recently been taken, I and General Sickles, receiving the result from the Spanish Government, has ti-".milted lt to Washington. The total population of the Island Is placed at 1,399,811, there being 763, 176 whites, 238,927 free colored, 363,288 slaves and 34*4.20 Asiatics. In 1867 the population of Cuba was reported to be 1,414,508, so that In the five years that have elapsed there ls ap? parently adecrese of 14,706. The Insurrection I ID Cuba probably Interfered with getting an accurate censos of the Insurgent districts last I year. -The clipper ship Young America, it is claimed, has Just made the fastest time ever I made by a sailing ship between Liverpool and j San Francisco-ninety-six days; The Young America ls an American ship, an one might I ; Judge from the name, though very few ships trading between Liverpool and San Francisco now i fly the American flag. Previously to this latest voyage, the quickest timo made between those two cities was by the British j ship'Golden Gate-one hundred days. The I Yoong America had previously made two rapid voyages from San Francisco to New York, one In eighty days and the other In eighty days and twenty hours. -The New York agent of tho "White Star Line" of steamers claims that the steamer Bal tlc, o? his line, oa her last voyage out to England, made the quickest trip oa record across the Atlantic. Her time between Sandy Hook and Queenstown was seven days, twen? ty hoars and nine minutes. Previously the shortest voyage was one made by the City of Brussels, o? the Inman Line, In December, I ' 1869, in seven days, twenty hours and ten minutes. The difference Is Just one minute In favor of the Baltic, OT t, as the chances are that this may aa li. - f be a difference In watches as In speed, the two vessels seem j quite equally matched. -That the new Congress will not meet until j December next eoems pretty well settled. Heretofore lt has been customary, however, j lo the year of the President's inauguration to convene the Senat a in extraordinary session on March iourtb, so that the vice-president can taite his oath of office and assume his position as president of the Senate, while the Senate Itself eau act. upon such nominations for office as the President may make. Tele? grams from Washington say that President Grant does not see any necessity for such an extra session this year, and therefore may not lssde a proclamation convening the Sen- J ate. It is. added, however, that ihe senators think such an extra session should be called. I -The holiday amusements o? London are j peculiar. On Christmas Day there was-a I swimming match in the Serpentine, for which there were twenty-four entries. The distance was one hundred yards. The race throughout j was an exceedingly good one, although sev? eral of the good swimmers were unable to go the distance owing to the numbing effects of the cold water. One veteran bather who was present-a hale old gentleman, over eighty years of age-ha9 been In the habit of bathing every morning, winter and summer, since the commencement of the present century. After the race was over, the competitors assembled round one of the seats on the banks and drank rum and milk. The " Health of the Queen" and other royal toasts were given. -A very singular robbery occurred in the office of the Houston and Texas Central Rail? road Company, In Wall Btreet, New Tork, on Wednesday. Mr. W. E. Dodge, of the firm of Phelps, Dodge & Co., president of the above road, was In the office, when Mr. C. H. Car? rier, connected with the firm of Wildermlng & Mount, entered, and laid a paokage of twenty-five bonds of the Houston and Texas Road, each valued at one thousand dollars, and one hundred shares of the railroad stock, besides a bankbook with checks and other valuables, amounting in all to forty thousand dollars, In a large window, and sat down on a sofa near with Mr. Dodge. While they were conversing a map-peddler came In, and exhlb* Red a map that Mr. Dodge had requested him io bring. In the meantime, while Mr. Dodge and Mr. Currier were examining the map, two strange mea came la and asked some unim? portant question of a check. It was noticed that one of them edged up near this window. When the examination of the map bad been concluded, lt was ascertained that Mr. Cur? rier's packages were missing. There were six persons In the office at the time, all of whom were searched, as well as the office. It is supposed the two strange mea obtained the packages and made off with them. The Harbor Improvements. There is not a more pleasing evidence of the softening and heallDg infloonce of time than is found in the Tact; that General Gil? more, whom we all blessed so heartily a few years ago, is now engaged io carrying oat a public work whose completion cannot fail to have an important and immediate effect upon the trade and commerce of Charleston. The skilful soldier who, during the war, was bent on devising some means of compelling the Confederates to decamp from the city, is, in these piping days of peace, busily elaborating plans for deepenlog Charleston harbor. These are not matters of mere speculation. The line ef operations is de? termined apoD, the money is appropriated, and the excavating and dredging will begin at onca This ls what may be called practi? cal reconstruction and reunion, and lhere is no room to doabt that General Gilmore will apply himself to bis work with a vigor and zeal which will insure his success and make Charleston the li nest harbor on the South Al lan i ic coast. A monstrous Bill. The characteristic generosity of the State Legislature frequently leads that body to grant valuable and exclusive privileges to speculators who procure acts of incorpora? tion with the sole object of selling them tc the highest bidder. But it ls hardly pos? sible that a bill so radically wrong, in prin? ciple and in detail, as "the bill to charter "the Great Northern and Soulhern Railway "Company," will be allowed to become a law. The objections to the bill are of the gravest and most fundamental character. There is no need to descend to particulars to find arguments against IL The bill is, in Its essence, a monstrous usurpation ; an at? tempt, by a body of unknown individuals, to obtain powers which will enable them, in the execution of their plans, to defy the Legislature and Injure and oppress the peo? ple. These words may seem too strong to those who have not studied the bill. A glance at its main provisions will prove con? clusively that there is ample reason for what we soy. The bill to charter the Great Northern and Southern Railway Company names no incor- j porators. Power is given to tue company "to establish railway communication" be? tween Port Royal and the Ohio River. Every privilege possessed by any other corpora? tion in ike State is granted lo the company. It may take and ase what land it requires for, the road, and for buildings and other structures necessary to its completion. No other railroad shall run laterally within fifteen miles' of it The company ls given the exclusive right of transporting passen? gers and merchandise. It is exempt from taxation, antil twenty years after the com? pletion of the road. The charter cannot be amended by the Legislature, unless the directors of the company unanimously pe? tition for amendments; and, even theo, ihe amendments shall not be binding, unless they are unanimously adopted and accepted by the company. Here, is already an ap? palling array of rights and privileges, and In addition to these the bill declares that "the company shall possess such ad>litional "pouters as may be convenient for the dne "and successful execution of the powers "granted in this charter, and for the suc? cessful construction and management of "the work. Under this clause, in con? nection with the clauses wbioh precede it, the company could carry on any descrip? tion of business. Their capital is nominally $1,500,000, bat this may be Increased to "a sum sufficient" to complete and Btock the line. With such a charter and money at their back, the company could soon make themselves the masters of the State. And to whom are these stupendous privi? leges given ? The public do not koow l No names are mentioned. There ls not so mach as an indioation in the bill of a de? cent willingness, on the part of the com? pany, to spend any considerable Bum before the charter goes into effect. When fifty thousand shares of twenty-five dollars are subscribed, and one dollar a share is paid np, the incorporation is complete. And even this sam of fifty thousand dollars need not be in money. It may be paid in notes to run sixty days, "or longer," at the option of the commissioners. And, lest the raising of fifty thousand dollars, in notes, should be too onerous, it Is provided that when fifteen thousand shares are subscribed, the sub? scribers may meet and elect directors, who may Bell the stock remaining untaken at such prices as they may decide upon. It is not too much to say that a paper subscrip? tion of twenty or twenty-five thousand dol? lars will bring the charter into active lire. There is another extraordinary provision in the bill. The subscription books may be kept open for ten years, when, ir the subscriptions necessary to the iacorporation be not ob? tained, the act and the subscriptions shall be void. Not satisfied wilh demanding priva ?ses never before conferred apon a cor? porate body, and with having carte blanche to do whatever they please, and with limit? ing the immediate cost of the charter to twenty or twenty-five thousand dollars in notes running sixty days, "or longer," the friends of the scheme ask that they be al? lowed to hold the charter, ic suspense, for ten years. For ten years it is to be a standing menace to the people; an insupera? ble obstacle in the way of those who, in good faith and for the public benetlt, may wish to undertake some small part of the universal work which the favored corpora? tion controls. Every franchise granted by the State is a substruction from the heritage of the people, and it is the duty of their representatives to confer public privileges with a careful and grudging hand. The Legislature have been too lavish in granting acts of incorporation ; but we do not think they will rashly pass the bill to charter the great Northern and Soathern Railway. It is right that persons who desire to build the railroads which public convenience requires should have the opportunity of so doing. The charters, however, should be precise and definite; no unusual powers should be given, the Legis? lature should not relinquish their supervi? sory control, and the charter should become Inoperative if a given number of miles of road are not completed within twelve months. There would be saiety in this course; but such bills as that which we in? vite the Legislature to summarily reject are cloaks for trickery and fraad-an insult to the public Intelligence, and a deadly blow aimed at the prosperity of the State. The Charleston Delegation. The report which comes to us from Co? lumbia that the whole Charleston delega? tion are to be presetted for Indictment at the Coart of General Seesions, on charges of bribery and corruption, is peculiarly gratifying, for the reason that it indicates a possibility that disgraceful rumors which have been afloat for many months will at last be sifted to the bottom. It will be remembered that there were two Radical factions (the Regulars and the Bolters) contending for the mastery in the election held in October, 1872. The Bolters bad an apparent majority in Charleston County ; but the Begalars contested the elec? tion of the entire legislative and county ticket, upon tbe ground oflntimidation and fraudu? lent voting. The county canvassers deciared the election ia favor of the Boilers, and ar, ap? peal was taken to tbe State board of can? vassers, which consists of the Secretary ef Slate, Comptroller-General, Attorney-Gene? ral, State Treasarer, Adjutant-General, and the chairman of the committee on privileges and elections of the House of Representatives. All these officers were Regulars of the strictest sect. There was some natural perturbation in the ranks or the Bolters, but, as the decisive day ap? proached, tbey grew more confident, and the board by a handsome majority decided in their favor. The belief at the time was that Mr. J. J. Patterson, having some occult in. fluence with the board, bad consented to work for the Bolters, if they would pledge themselves to vote for him for United States | senator. It was a matter of eighteen votes, and when the senatorial election came ofTl every member of the Charleston delegation voted for "Honest" John Patterson. The bargain alleged to have been made is the charge now preferred against the delegation. It is no laughing matter, for a conviction means "imprisonment in the State Peniten? tiary at bard labor, not exceeding ten "years," or a "fine not exceeding live thous? and dollars, and imprisonment in the jail "not exceeding two years.'' The Charleston delegation cannot afford to allow these charges to pass nnnoticed. ! They are believed to be true by a large body of citizens, and it is due to the public and to the individuals that a rigid judicial inves? tigation be had. A legislative inquiry will not answer the purpose. Eighteen or twenty members of the General Assembly are ac? cused of selling their votes, and they must be put on their trial that their innocence or their guilt may be conclusively established. This is the least that can be done, and lt is the least that the people expect. Anxious About lt. The latest English malls we have received are full of articles relative lo the Sandwich Islands. The English press look upon Amer? ican annexation as a foregone conclusion, and discuss the subject Recording to their good or ill will for the Um... . ^s, with great earn? estness. They seem to have much more anx? iety about li tban ls felt In this country, and In some of the newspapers we have received there is a lurking indication lhat some of ihe English people would not be averse to possess? ing those Islands ll they saw ibe way clear for getting them. But the English Government ls not so much Inclined toward annexing dis? tant colonies as it formerly was. Borne ol her "plantations" have manifested an ungrateful disposition to set up for themselves. One lot ol* them did so, and expanded imo tbe United States. Latterly the Canadian Provinces have been evincing the same spirit, and so has Aus? tralia, and Great Britain has come to the very sensible conclusion that If they desire a "sep? arate estate'' they can have lt. Darwin's Last Book. THE EXPRESSION OF TBE EMOTIONS IN MAN AND TUE LOWER ANIMALS. By Charles Dar wiu, M. A.. F. B. S. New York : D. Ap? pleton & Co. Darwin's treatises are the scientific sensa? tions of the day, and his last book, which is before us, is the most sensational of the se? ries. It commences with a statement of the general principles of expression; that ser? viceable actions become habitual In associa? tion with certain states of the mind, and are performed, whether or not of service, In each particular case. This is illustrated In the case of expression of the various emotions In man and the lower animals. The means of expression in animais is then discussed, and the special expressions of animals and man, such as the depression ot the corners of the mouth In grief, frowning, the firm closure of the mouth to express determlnatloj, gestures of contempt, the dilation of the pupils from terror, the causes of blushing, &c. In conclu? sion, the bearing of the subject on the specific unity ol the races of man, ihe part which the J will and intention have played in ihe acquire? ment of various expressions, and ibe question ot their acquisition by the progenitors of man, are discussed. The book ls one that will at? tract great attention, and promises to be as popular as any other of the author's produc? tions. It is for sale at Holmes's Book House. Special ?Sumes.
