It is said that the recent arrests in Sumter have about stamped out the ^independent talk" that prevailed in certain sections there some time ago. Judge Blatchford. ~>f New York, has been appointed to the Associate Justiceship declined by Conkling and Edmunds. The new appointee is well spoken of by Northern papers. The National Republican commands Senator .Tones' "white man's government" speech as eminently "liberal and statesmaulike." Who'd ever have thought it? Great Britain will spend two mil??V:; lion dollars more than her income this year; while the snrplns revenue of the United States will amonnt to a hundred and seventy millions. Wm. B. Hazleton, a year ago one |lrh of the most influential newspaper correspondents at Washington, has retired from journalism, and makes three titousaud dollars a year writing advertisements and puffs for St. Jacob's Four villages aud four thousand inhabitants denroyed are the latest achievement of the irrepressible Costa .

The Charlotte Observer hears that : Senator Butler will not be a candidate for re-election. It oust have been misinformed. Senator Butler is in his "prime, and has made a fine record in Wi . the Senate. It is most likely that he will ask another term, and from present lights, that he will secure it. The Democrats of Columbia have :ik>miuated Col. John T. Rhett for L mayor. Colonel Rhett is a gentleman 1 of broad mind, varied attainments, - sound business capacity and sterling 'integrity, and is fitted to adorn the 4 ' office. The aldermanic ticket is a -strong one.

The question really is " -whether Mr. Stephens will die at all. He has passed tborugh enough to kill a hnudred men, and is now stronger ' than ever before. The Rev. Dr. Mayo and Superintendent Thompson left on Monday, by invitation, for Washington to confer with the committee on national aid for -education in the South. We are satis'^fied that they will make a strong presentation, and that Colonel Thompson will make an admirable showing for -South Carolina. He has the whole school system of the State by heart, and cannot fail to make a convincing -argument. Both Houses of Congress have passnil thn Ion: flicfronohictno' oil nnivAno in Utah living in polygamy. The Democrats opposed the bill, not as favoring polygamy, but because it per: inits the managers of election to decide who is barred, in; tend of requiring a legal conviction. As the Mormons are Bp? mostly Democrats, this is a delectable scheme for tui ~>ing over the territory to the niincrity. A good many carpet: baggers are already tl*ere, and we . know what t'-is means. Charleston occupies the most advantageous position on the southeastern coast, and, if her harbor be sufficiently improved, will at no dis tant day command the trade of the I. est Indies and a large portion of European commerce. Congress has already made liberal appropriations "** " for a jetty system, but more money is needed. We are glad to see that the business men of New York. Baltimore p*'-. ?and Cincinnati have petitioned their respective representatives to give favorable consideration to Charleston's Mr. John Russell Young has been appointed Minister to China. Mr. Young is one ofthc chief editors of the New York Herald, and his present promotion is evidently due to his having accompanied General Grant on his tour arottnd the world, as special reporter and flnnkv in general. As Mr. Young will reach China simultaneous-' ipf Jy with the report of the recent action ; of Congress in forbidding Chinese im migration, it is not improbable that his head will be returned in a basket! by the next steamer. What a sensation j wonld this be for the Hemld! The Military Committee of the; ^fjnited States Senate has reported a hill authorizing the proper officer to audit the claim of South Carolina for ! ^ K?n> r>f t.h* Citadel, wroiuffullv I Mre|? "withheld from the State for a number ; of years. The bill has been placed on j I j|... the calendar, bat it will never see dav*iig"bt unless it can be advanced. This jgst claim and should be paid; the j B li: "towe especially as the State >bas re-, opened the Military Academy, and the , seventy-five thousand dollars due by. the Federal government will <ro it long . way towards making it self-support- j in<r. m ,, Mr. Kamiai.l. the Washington cor- j : respondent of tlie Augusta (Georgia) | Chronicle, speaking of Senator Hill's ; condition, says: '*A favorable turn to ; Senator Hill's case depends upon the ; ' ability of his throat wound to heal ? healthily. The tongue is considered' safe from further disturbance. The : j healing process is necessarily tedious, j | I need not recur to sensational reports j : that have already reached you.

And now the report comes, just as j the Grant pension bill has struck the j H.?use, that the hero of Appomattox ! has gone into Wall Street for wool and ; gotten clean shorn. Stocks have been j playing a game of battledoor and | shuttlecock for some time, but the ; bears have had much the best of it, ! and the decline in values has been j something almost inconceivable. Grant | undertook to bull Wabash Railroad stock, and Wabash has wiped away his margins. His wife owns a $40,000 villa at Long Branch, so ourBelisarius is not quite a pauper yet. But he is asking for his penny all the same. It will be of interest to note whether he has really lost his property or whether the report has been spread simply to secure the passage of his pension through Congress. Our Caesar, we grieve to say, i<- uot above such devices. The Republicans in Congress are determined to secure if possible the admission of Dakota as a State., in order to increase Republican representation. The Senate committee has modified the original bill by requiring a stipulated population as a condition precedent to admission. The number will doubtless be fixed at the Congressional ratio of 154.000, and mast be ascertained by a census. As Northern supervisors were sent to investigate alleged '-padding" of the census in South Carolina, we suggest that the ; South Carolina supervisors fce awardj ed thejobof enumerating Dakota. The people out there have already demonstrated their capacity for fraud. The plan is to get two or three houses on wheels, carry them to a certain place, organize a new county, issue a lot of : bonds, and then decamp bag and bag| gage for other points, to repeat the | experiment. One job of this kind is i said to have swindled innocent capital{ ists out of two hundred thousand dollars. Fourteen* counties of Mississippi, which produce annually over three j hundred thousand bales of cotton, are i now overflowed. Fifteen parishes of j Louisiana which produce almost the sarr.e amount are also submerged. The Secretary of War is of opinion that 00,000 people have been driven Iron' their homes by the waters, and are in need of temporary relief?namely, 2,000 in Illinois, 5,000 in Tennessee, 18,000 in Mississippi, 15,000 in Arkansas, 1,500 in Missouri, 500 in Kentucky and 8,000 in Louisiana. Captain Lee, one of the officers sent inro Mississippi, states that the number needing aid there has been greatly underestimated. It is also believed that the number of the destitute in Louisiana will be largely increased as the flood is only now reaching that State. As far up as Cairo, Illinois, the river rose over fifty-one feet above high water, and four inches higher than the levees, which would have been swept awar but for a temporary bulkhead two feet high erected daring the storm. It is impossible to narrate the hairbreadth escapes and thrilling adventures or to detail the horrors of the situation. It is hoped that the waters will subside in the next forty days. What a prospect! Not satisfied wiih their present rvAti-oi-c tlio cKni l^nDlilirnii mninnfv -J in the House propose to amend the rales so as to still further restrict debate, and facilitate the operation of a gag law. Mr. NordhofF, who besides being an experienced journalist, is also a political economist, holds that the welfare of the country would be furthered by an abolition of the previous question altogether. In his view it is not too much debate, but too lit; tie. that endangers legislation. As the | custom now exists, a half dozen men ; in a committee prepare a bill and the majority passes it through by gagging all opposition. Thus pernicious jobs are lobbied through, which would have no chance whatever if subjected to the full light of unlettered debate. The only offset to the previous question is the ' filiibnster."' bv which is meant that the minoritv refuse to vote, I * destroying a quorum and bringing ! legislation to a full stop. Fillibtisterj ing avails only when the parties are so ! evenly divided that the number of i absentees prevents the uomiual majori; ty from forming a quorum in inself. ! Thus the motion for a previous ques! tion often defeats its own ends. We I trust that the Democrats will suffer no j further tinkering with the rules. In ! many respects they are bad enough | now. ? b. ! The charter of one National Bank ; has already expired, and another cxi pi res next mouth. During this year ; the charters of eighty-seven will expire, representing $20,000,000 of capital at;d a circulation of $12,000,000. What is to be done about it? Congress : i lias discussed the question in adcsultoj ry way for a number of years, but is | no nearer a conclusion now than ever. I The problem is exceedingly difficult, j i The currency afforded by the system j is a model of uniformity and stability, two elements in which the paper money of the old State banks was sorely lacking. There is an elasticity j about it that would be wanting in a system of government treasury notes rigidiv fixed ut a specified limit. On the other hand national banks are j founded 011 the national debt, anu their : continuance fixes a permanent liability on the people loiur after they are able to pay every dollar owed to the bondholders. Again. the banks have shown unmistakably bad temper and imperiousness on more than one occasion, ; ! thus giving grounds for -the charges brought against them of endeavoring to control legislation. We confess that the question -of abol- j ishing or perpetuating the system is a : V" little too deep for us just yet, ami ihe moix? tlie subject is studied the more perplexing it becomes. Ofl-hauci opinions can be beard on every side, but they are founded more on prejudice on self-interest than on any in v; 11 iv (Uiiviamental doctrines of finance. One reason, possibly, that Congress has reached no definite conclusion is that half the members of (hat body are themselves unable to grapple with the problem. They will be compelled to do something very shortly. JoHii C. Calhoun. ! Saturday, the 18th of March, was the centennial of the birth of John (J. Calhoun, and it was duly celebrated by the Calhoun Society of Wofford College. It w ould have been a graceful act had the entire State joined in a tribute to the memory of her greatest j statesman. Time was when John C: Calhoun was the controlling spirit of the government, and although some of ! his theories were impracticable as ' argued from the standpoint of the ! "heaviest artillery," they will always ! stand as monuments of logical deduc; tion from fundamental facts. The : field of Appomattox was deemed the ! Waterloo of States Rights, and blatant ly the Northern theorists boasted that ; Calhoun's name, with his utterances, : would be buried henceforth in obloquy I or oblivion. But truth dies not, and | although secession was forever set; tied by the sword, State rights and ! home rule would not down at the bidding of the Northern Macbeths. For i years the ccntralizatiouists had things their own way, and ran rough shod over the constitution; but in the elimination of passion and sectional hate, sound old Democratic principles are again asserting themselves with ever increasing vigor. Impartial historians vindicate the South from out rageous charges of wanton rebellion, and not a month ago appeared a work by an eminent German critic which assigns the highest meed of praise to Mr. Calhoun. Calhoun was; a greater | man than Webster,-a much larger man j than Clay, and impartial posterity will I write that verdict. Too common is I the giddy prattle of a "New South" and i a "Progressive South," accompanied j with abuse of old institutions and vituperation of former leaders. The | South should indeed be progressive, I alike in material ideas and in politics, i but her progress should be an adaptai tion of former ideas, to existing circumt stances, and not a contemptuous disre! gard of old traditions and modes of i . . . j tnought. We trust the day will never come that South Carolina can torget Calhoun or pay him anight else than the highest honors. And every student of government should peruse his works as a guide to present politics just as the English scholar learns Latin or Greek, or the Christian theologian ! masters the theory and practice of the i Jewish dispensation. In this there -can be no "treason." FEOFLE OF TO-DAY. i A Few of the Notable Folk of >"ew YorkSome Famous Persons.

A few exampl^p chanced to pass under the observation of a writer for the Herald in fhe course of a | somewhat extended walk during the I past twenty-four hours, and it was interesting to see how almost entirely they escaped general observation. A MOXEl* KING. Probably the richest individual iti the United States to-day is William li. ir.. J. ill. . vaiiucrunu ms Hume is as wen known abroad as here. His transactions are felt in exchanges of the world. lie has lived here and hereabouts since his boyhood, when his father was carving his way to a monumental fortune, but aside from the regular drivers on the road it is doubtful it there are live hundred men on Manhattan Island who know that they ever saw this possessor of $200.000,000. As the prematurely early spring air was gradually changing to the normal temperature of a yet undeveloped March Mr. Vanderbilt slowly left the unique portal of his solid home 011 Fifth avenue, squinted with one eye ?t the clouds that threatened wind- from the east, buttoned his thick coa tighi in the neck and leisurely pasf ed to ward the Cathedral. Of the few men, women, children, nurses and coachmen near him not one recognized or turned to look at him. J le is apparently a few inches less than six tall, .-.stout and heavy, liis features are large and expressive. He wears long side whiskers and black clothes. A stranger would judge him to be about fifty-eight years old, not over strong and good-natured. The lines of his face are deep, and when in repose he has an expression of "grit" and deterj initiation which gives way before a i smile thai seems based in kindness and a general condition of content. A NEW COMKK. "Within a block thereafter Mr. D. O. Mills was met on his way up town. In connection with the "da\s of ?49" in California and a little bank in Sacramento, Mr. Mills has been known in Wall street for neaily forty years. Having made through the Pacific Uail?r?iv ???</! itituimr OiOfnl-ttioii *i vnrv ! large fortune, variously estimated at from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000, lie drscrectly moved his hues and penates to New York, where he is already, pleas! antly placed as one of our "first citi| zens." That the casual passer on the ; street should not recognize this gentle| man was not strange, but fur all that , the thought could not. well be repress| ed that, rich and potent and important I as he was in his own sphere, his full and sudden death on Fifth Avenue at. ; eleven o'clock in the forenoon would have created no greater immediate stir than the fall and death of the nearest cabman. A I.CCKY DOMINIE. As that thought occurred to the mind i the writer.v attention wa< diverted by ! a clerical looking figure then crossing ! the street not far from the Windsor Hotel. It was Mor<ran Di.w }). I).. rector of Trinity parish a.-.d son of the late Governor and Major General.John Attains Dix. Several gentlemen raised their hats as they met I)r. Dix, who looked as if the world was not entirely orrect in its procedure om that occasion. He wears a high -'plug" hut, a regulation "dominie" coat, spectacles and a kind of hairy growth near his Adam's apple, known to the hoys as ' (iahvay sluggers.lie walks rabidly and ha> a Imhiiof talking to himself. Were it not for l is professional uniform he would be taken f>r a merchant from the country, or. on account of his spectacles and smooth face, for u tutor in a seminary of learning. A RAII.V AVIS. Ent whom have we here? Blithely tripping by the side of a tall and :rallant escort appeared at the portal of the hotel a little lady who hesitated a inomrnf at the step of a cou]>c, shrugged her shoulders, said. "Oh, coine alonif. let's walk," and suited the action to the word. Far be it for any masculine pen to attempt to describe Adelina I'atti's costume. All that can be recalled is a red feather, a dark hat, a seaiskin robe with different fur on the border, yellowish gloves and the daintiest boots, with real heels. She was in < ? * &$&;*>> 2>5f=' r \ a happy temper. Her hair was coal i ! black, her eyes shone with health and i 1 contentment, and she did not profane | j the sun shine by wearing' diamonds in j j her ears on the street and in the morn-! [ ing. A walk on Fifth Avenue to-day j means something different to Patti, the i J Diva, from a scamper down IJleccker : street thirty years ago to Adciina, the i i child of poor and snuggling parents. j ' Then siie had nothing but the germ of! her wonderful powers. To-day sue; : has estates, villas, a castle, half a mil-1 ; lion dollars in diamond- alone, wealth ; that is computed in seven figures and a i voice matchless this side of the gates of J peari. Then calico dresses, jet biack braids of nair upon her hack, flashing! eyes and a-gvpsy skin were tiie pos i session of one of a "lot of children.*'I To-day she walks or drives, as suits' i her whim, exact- tributes from kings j ; and has the world of art ami genius at j I her feet. IJiuhov ever this may be, j ! she walked down the avenne looking at! I the houses, gazing at the people, ex| plaining to her companion and absoi liitely unknown to any whom she met for blocks and blocks. A NOTABLE COUPLE. And as if these were not enough for i '[ one day's brief tramp the writer was j ! favored, in a bobtail car. by the com- j j panionship of a venerable couple who | in their day were better known by j name than any pair save George Washington and his wife. The man sat straight as a ramrod, his coal black eyes contrasting strangely with his snow white hair. He wore a Derby hat and a dark suit, with neatly fitting lurlt' liiii'.ocoil J ? lie iau ? ? mi iv?-mvvvi) Vlp v.'vx* I heavily-built, but gmoeful and digni! fied, fat next him, marching him in thn silvery shine of her exquisite hair and the perfect repose of her bearing. In 1856 the continent rang with the names of John C. and Jesse Benton Fremont He was the first candidate of the then newly born Republican party, as she was one of its brightest and most vigous inspirers. Then his steps were attended by the cheers oft lousands. and in countless homes ascended prayers for his success day and night. How times change! Since then catne and passed Mariposa and the Field episode, the election and defeat, fresh struggles and the Parisian scandal, the war for the Union, Fremont's emancipation proclamation repudiated and subsequently followed by Abraham Lincoln, years of ret i racy and quiet, reappearance as Governor of Wyoming, and now again oncK in me city 01 mseariy manhood. During all these excitements Mrs. Fremont ami Iter lord were one. To-day they are the lyandsoniest old couple in the city. tiirc "world's (iuest. Among the passengers in an elevated car sat General Grant. Let us see how many will recognize the hero whose name is familiar in the courts j and homes of*tiie world. "None knew him when he entered. After a few stations a middle aged man, in eyeglasses, came in. Bowing, he said, I "Good morning. General."

The General wore a high silk j hat and a full, close clipped beard, i His eye was clear, his mouth firmly shut, his overcoat thick and rusty and his figure very stout. Circumstances alter eases and this great man was simply one of the crowd.

Wind it up at the same time every day. Keep it m as even temperature as possible. Sudden transition from heat to cold ma\ cause the main-sprin<r to break. If you would keep it clean never put it in any pocket except one of leather. Those pockets which are lined with cloth, cotton or calico, <rive by the constant friction a certain fluff, which enters most watch wises and makes its way to the delicate parts of the watch. See that your pocket is turned and cleaned often, and take an old linen handkerchief and wipe carefully all the dust from under the backs, bezel and cap of the case. But above all you must be sure that the case lits firmly, and to be sure of this, select one where the parts (centre, backs, cap, &c.) are each made from one piece of metal. The JAMES DOSS' Patkxt Stif KKNKD OIC F!I,LK1> GOLD WATCH CASE is so made, ami not only docs such a Watch Case become stronger ami fit more perfectly, but it enables tlie manufacturers to t>u*u and form three pieces of metal (the outer ones being gold ami the inner one of an inferior metal) into shape for the round parts, making to all appearances and practical purposes ju.-t as good a Watch Case as the solid gold, at about one-half the cost to the purchaser. There are nearly one hundred thousand of these Watch Cases now carried, and their good qualities are acknowledged by the same number of happy possexsers.
