Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO., No. 10 Broad street, Charleston, S. O. MONDAY, MASCH 10, 187S. THS CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS "ls designa "ted as the newspaper for the publication of "all legal notices, and official advertisements, "for the County of Charleston, under the act , "of February 22d, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late the publication of all legal and public "notices." _ NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gladstone's niece will marry a captain in the Horse Guards. -Baron James de Rothschild Is preparing a book GD early French poetry. -Eugenie has bought a quiet little place In Sorrey, and will keep quiet. -Jefferson is playing in Brooklyn, under the management of his son, Charles Burke Jefferson. . -The son of the late ex-Emperor Napoleon paid a visit to her Majesty Queen Victoria on Wednesday. -The Marquis of Bute, presumedly the original of Disraeli's ..Lothalr," will. It is re? ported, shortly visit this country. -Several ol the West Point cadets bad their noes and feet badly Irosted during tbe parade at Washington on the 4th instant -Gladstone ls accused of murdering the queen's English in the wording of her Maj? esty's speech, at the opening of Parliament. -Father Hyacinthe has been Invited to resume his pulpit at Geneva by three hundred liberal Catholics of the city. He bas made a favorable reply. -The Irish population of London propose to hold a great meeting in Hyde Park, on Saturday, the 15th Instant, lo favor of amnesty ihr the Fenians now held In prison by the gov? ernment. -President Grant has ordered the pardon Of B. 8. Way, of Alabama, who was accused Of participation in alleged Ku-Klur. outrages, convicted and sent to the Albany peniten? tiary.;: -The President signed on the fourth ol March the bill amending the bankrupt law, by which each State will have the advantage of the exemption under ita own laws. Under this bul a bankrupt in Virginia la entitled to tw?nty-flv? hundred dollars. -Nena Sahib, the leader of the Sepoy re? bellion in India, ls said to have died In Nepaul about six months ago. About that time bis widow, lt ls stated, distributed ber hair among ber various relatives-a certain stgn that her husband had departed this life. -The attorney-general of England has brougr?-?orward in the House of Commons the Jury hill of last session, but he proposes several important amendments.

Therei&re to be no unworthy persons admit? ted Into the ranks of this large army, but it Will include only well-to-do workmen and their families." -Foster, who was convicted In New York of the morder of Mr. Putnam, a merchant of that city, and who is commonly known as the car-book murderer, has been reprieved by Governor Dix, as heretofore stated, until tbe 21st of this month. Strong Influences have been brought to bear on tbe executive to ob? tain a commutation of the sentence. It seems to be established tbat Foster was a man of good character previous to the commission of the deed, and when tbe deed was committed was laboring under the frenzy of drink, which with him was exceptional. The gov? ernor, on some points ot the case, has con salted-a ll the j udgeB of the Court of Appeals of New York, and the reprieve hos been granted to get these opinions. -An adjourned meeting of the Southern Association In New York City, held last Fri? day night at the Grand Central Hotel, was at? tended by a large nnmber of prominent South? ern men. The meeting was called to order by President P. McL. Burbank, who reviewed the career ot the association, and trusted that in a few months all arrangements for estab? lishing? suitable club house would be com? pleted. The speaker closed by introducing ex-Governor Lubbock, of Texas, who was bearaiy received, and spoke In flittering terms of the association, which he thought could not fall to show good results. Col? onel Hart, of Georgia, was the next speaker, who said he felt satisfied that the or? ganization which was progressing go satisfac? torily would bring Northern and Southern people together. The secretary read the roll of seventy names of well-known gentlemen of New York City who wished to become mem? bers. On motion of Major Hoghes they were elected. Colonel Hart made a motion to ap? point a committee of three to select a suitable Site for tbe clubhouse, which was passed. Major Francis, Colonel Torry and Colonel Hart were selected as the committee. -A Washington dispatch of Friday says: "Thereto much speculation relative to the cabinet, founded on tbe mere report tbat recently the members of it have formally ten? dered their resignation, thus necessitating l?w nominations by the Senate. The question ri?.". ?jjfl --y.-*^--..- ? -"- , about the cabinet was, however, settled last fall. Soon after the re-election of President Grant, ata cabinet meeting, all the members being present, they Informed him that, wishing to do nothing whatever to embarrass bim in his administration, they would tender their resignations, to lake effect on the 4th of March ensuing. The President ex? pressed hiB thanks lor their friendly feel? ings, and Informed them that he had no de elre for any one or them to withdraw from their present positions, but preferred they should all remain. Nothing has slnoe occurred to change the position of affairs at lt existed at that time. The only immediate change will be in the secretaryship ol the treasury, should (he present incumbent be elected to the Sen? ate of the United States. The opinion that the President need not renominate the present members of the cabinet tor confirmation by the Senate ls strengthened by the fact that ail of them were at their respective departments to-day attending to their official duties, and lt is said by gentlemen in executive positions that no such renominations will be made. Paying tbe Pin*r. It ?3 whispered in Washington that the recent message of Governor Walker, of Vir? ginia, in regard to the assumption by the Federal Government o! the debts of the States, has not met with official disapproval. Indeed, some go 80 far as to Bay that the administration is more pleased than it is willing openly to admit, and hails the appears nee of this message as something quite timely, in that it affords a solution \o a tremendous problem-payment namely for the Blaveti of the States lately In rebellion. It Is asserted that tbe people of the South, though wisely reticent on the subject, have always cherished the hope that their slaves would one day be paid for. Nor, it is argued, will they ever abandon the hope. As a part of the payment will go to the late slaves themselves, this hope, how? ever infirmly based, affords the means of consolidating the South and of concentrat? ing its entire strength of blacks and whites upon the party which may seem willing to endorse that payment Here then is danger of a new form of sectionalism-a danger, however, wblcb Governor Walker's suggestion dissipates* in a summary manner. For it is obvious that the late Confederate States would not have the hardihood to assert any claim of com? pensation for lost property in slaves after their debts bad been assumed and wiped out as proposed by Governor Walker. Again, as a choice of evils and a matter of econ? omy, the payment of the debts of all the States North and South is preferable to the payment of the slave-debt, being at once cheaper and more feasible. Fonr millions of slaves at one hundred dollars the head, which would be the least that in reason could be charged for them, would amount to four hundred millions of dollars, a sam greater by one hundred millions tban the debts of ail the States. Against the pay? ment for slaves the entire North would rise up almost in arms, but when the payment of their own debts is coupled with the pay? ment of the Southern State debts the subject assumes a wholly different form. With regard to the objections to Governor Walker's scheme which hav a been so for? cibly put by the press of both sections, we shall have something to say hereafter. What concerns us at present is the fact that in the long rou people are not apt to turn a deaf ear to a proposition so pleasing as the pay? ment of their indebtedness ari tbe relief from taxes. If the proposition be persisted Io, objections even of the weightiest cbarac ter are likely to give way. In effect it may be a bill of sale alike of the rights of the States and of the individuals composing them, but relief from existing burdens is so very sweet that future independence is lost sight of wholly. Aprez nous le deluge, and if the worst comes to the worst, why we have the resort not of secession, wblcb bas proved a disputable right, but of revolution, a right which is euro to be disputed, but which, if maintained, will prove quite as serviceable and not halt so provocative of vain theories and discussions as that of secession. The Use and Abase of Widows. In this utilitarian age, tbe problem of the Widows must strike the practical mind as one of Nature's secrete, unrevealed, yet as indisputably existent as the Ozone which was breathed for thousands of years before it was analyzed. Ia a period when tbe ob? ject of all classes, from the political econo? mist to tbe rag-picker, is to secure the great, est possible good with the least possible waste-when the monopoly of any common bleesing is not advocated by the most des? potic-when no law exists limiting the capa* city of each stream to turning a single mill -when the very dust is sifted, sorted, clas? sified and utilized, well may the profound mind, when not absorbed by questions of ex? hausted coal mines and vanishing forests, be appalled by the more perplexing suggestion, " What can be done with widows ?" Nature wonld intimate that they should be husbanded, as her forces are. And what widow would raise a dissenting voice? But still the question would present itself-What were they made for ? To assert tbat they are providential institutions for the encour? agement of the manufacture of crape and bombazine, is a narrow view of their mis? sion ; to assert that they were made as a scourge for their sex, is a popular, but per? haps prejudiced belief. What then is their 8ecrel? Unveiled, they stand Sphynx-like as ever. The eagle wing for swiftness ; the lion claw for power; inscrutable, mysterious, towering over men. O tor a chemist to an? alyze their component parts, that tbe secret proportions may be revealed to the won? dering I O for some Medea to entice them into a rejuvenating cauldron, and there re? duce them to a phosphate tbat shall cause the more tender flowers to spring Into stronger life I O for a law to abide by the vote of unmarried women on the question of enforcing the Hindoo Settee, among nations prolific of widows I And, if that be too flaming an advertisement of their perils and charms, 0 for a decree, like that of the Medes and Persians which altereth not, that no widow shall marry until the last girl bas perished. Yet such is the paralysis that results from long neglect of acknowledged evils, that it is safe to predict that even th's appeal will remain unanswered ; that widows, r-ven in the dog-days, will be at large, unchained and unmuzzled; and that winter will not find them placarded "dangerous" like the less treacherous ice. Waging war on maidens, .inking tho most indifferent men, the crimes of these' pirates will still lie dtten Jed by a great profit, like that of the widow of Sa repta. And even the Bible does not en? courage the belief that Elisha replenished the oil can of any famishing maiden. Her cake, if she had one, remained dough, while the widow's baked. But while the whole evil is not to be eradicated, the op? pressed might be relieved by fixing an age beyond which widows shall cease to be dan? gerous. The unbiased mind may well be struck by the withering epithet "old maul," which blasts a hardly matured woman at twenty-five, while the widow, that adder of men among women, is attractive, surround? ed, irresistible at thirty, forly, fifty-yea, when past, by a quarter of a century, the age when the unmarried woman begins to read neglect and csntempt in tho manners of those around her. A Tnrk meditating in a graveyard (prob? ably on the uncertainty of widows) was struck by the manouvres of a closely veiled woman, who was kneeling by ber husband's tomb, fanning, fanning, earnestly, unflag? gingly. Even a soul that had slipped off the bridge of Al Serat conld not fail to be refreshed by so steady a breeze. Venturing to inquire into the reason of so unparalleled a devotion, he learned from the lady that she bad made a vow not to marry until the mortar bad dried on her husband's grave. And Petronius tells of a widow, distracted with grief, who entered the cave with her husband's corpse, resolved there to perish. A soldier, guarding seven bodleB hong on trees, abandoned bis post to console ber. being touched by her despair. He succeed, ed so well, that when the reviving widow heard his cry of horror that he must forfeit his life for one of the bodies which had been stolen in his absence, she proposed to fasten that of her husband in its plaoe; and, as a widow generally carries out her designs, she assisted bim in the ghastly work. Since all fables have morals, and this, if it be a fable, appears perfectly destitute of any, the most obvious deduction is that widows know that it is not good to live alone, and with a dexterity born of long ex? perience, practice what they preach. Gold impartiality asks why should not girls have an equal chance in the matrimonial race ? Let, tho uomarried see to it, and make the Uses and Abases of Widows the grand Woman's Rights and Social Equality ques? tions of the day. England's Philosophy. The remark ls attributed to Bismarck, "What is the good ot England ? She won't fight.'1 PerbapB the "good of England" ls that she doesn't consider fighting the chief good ol men or nations. She has bad a vast deal ol lt In ber time, and knows what it cost,", morally physically and financially. Yet. although the result of ber experience seems to lead her to act In accordance with the Injunction of her great dramatist, "beware of entrance to a " quarrel," we agree with Ihe New York Com merciaX Advertiser that li Bismarck should live long enough to see Germany force her to the test he will have lived long enough to find out that Vaterland may wage war without always winning battles.
