A DECLINE IN GOLD. unprecedented foil in the price of gold during the past few , week*, has been engaging the attrition, and receiving the comments of the leading public journals of the couutry. As it has not % arisen from the operation of speculators?the efforts of "bears" who sell gold, which they have not, but hope to buy back at a lower price? nor from any contraction of the currency, which has either preceded or attended the full in the pre? 1J ^ ?? Of* a. _i. 1 O 1 x imam oi goiu irom iu i??it in gonerally looked upon as a healthy feature of the times?an indication of increased production, enlarged trade and enhanced public credit. The proximate cause asbigned for tlie decline of gold here, has been the decreased demand for exportation, growing out of the increased J - ? A mnri^nn 11 Oft UCLUUI1U 1UI uuiviivvi? abroad, aud also out of the eularg ed exports of American cotton. It is estimated that the cotton crop of the presentyear will amount 3,000.000 bales, and which deducting 900,000 bales for home concuHiption will leave 2,100,000 bales for export This is 500,000 more than last 3'car, and will give a gold excess of $25,000,000 more than * ? 1 *1 .?!,? last year?or ejium iu uncc-iwuiiua of the whole exports of the past year. This accounts for the decrease in the exports of gold, and affords every probability against a revival of exports upon which an advances of price must depend. i /? iV _ Another reason assigned lor tue j decrease of exportation of. gold is theabundaneeof money in the lead ing markets of Europe, and the appreciation of onr securities there. Advices from "Washington state that Mr. Boutwell intends to pross his funding bill before Congress at an early day. If it becomes alaw, then, with a largo supplj of gold on th? market, about $100,000,000. ho can force the price of gold dawn to par, and thus wipe out of cxiitenco iliat institution known ay the Gold lioom. As a necossary conseqcnce prices are coming down. A New York letter says: *' For several days a desperate fight has been going on. "between Stuart aud Claflin, the Icings of the dry goods market Stewart started it by 'marking down* below Claflin1s figures.? Claflin followed suit; Stewart cut down again; then Claflin; and so tbe war has gone on for a week. Dry goods men tell me they never saw the market so excited as it is by this war between the two great koises. Both parties Are selling at price*that are absolutely ruinous. .SteWtrfs pugnacity and capital 1 mil cany him through, bat houses ; not as strong as his /will probably goby the board beforo the storm blows over." ? 1^1 CENSUS RETURNS. The cenene retnras of ilie State for the year 1669, have been published. 'From this we learn that the population of Abbeville ie 26,838.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE The Committer nppohited to investigate elfectiotf i'rauil? p?tp*treted in the Third Congressional District, before-tbe last -gettefft!~ election, have made their report covering some twenty printed pages, I anit siflrned bv JoseDh Crews. Chair ' o ^ * man. The report reiterates thq stereotyped slaudors upon the Pemocratic party, of being the instigators of crime and outrage. It ie just such a report as we might have expected from a partisan commit tee, who have been appointed tc get up an effective campaign document, tor the coming election, The more spicy and sensatioual tho better, and this paper comet up fully to the Republican stan^ ard. The minority report is eicn odbyJavan Btyant, and takes is eue with the conclusions of tin majority of the committee. In connection with the Report is publisheJ a huge volume o: "Testimony,-" so-called, taken bj the Investigating' Committee, anc covering some seven hundredpriut ed pages, of which two hunJrec and fifty pages are devoted to Abbeville. The most of thin is th< merest hearsay, unworthy of the name oi testimony, and useless to nrove nnvthinff excent the incom V V O I petency of tho would-be witnesses That there were individual acts o violence all admit, nnd our citizen: generally deplore them. Thej grew out of tho lawless and dc j moralized condition of the times, | and wore foreign to the habits and j repugnant to the instincts of oui [people. To charge them upon oui 'people, or upon Democracy as an |organization, is but one of the j tricks of part}* tactics. It was for this purpose however that this j committee was raised, aud the investigation prosecuted. This object is seen cropping out of the whole proceeding, and gives form and color to the whole investigation. 13ut to cffoct their purposes they have signally failed. Thever diet oi tno dispassionate ana sooerminded, will be against them.? There is nothing in the testimony relating to Abbeville to connect the Democratic party with any of the acts of individual outrage. Sale Day. Sal eel ay aa usual was wet and disagreeable, but nevertheless there was a verj good attendande of our fellow-citizens. The blacks especial^* numbered in strong force. V"ery little property changed baud* either by official sale or otherwise. There \\ as very little property to sell, and there seemed to be very little money to buy. The merchants tell us that they had a very ,i..u j ?J ? * ? ? uun uajr, kuu we ine primers responded?ditto. It was "not a success." We repeat it, Sale-day in March was not a success. Unless there be some improvement in futare, we believe we shall apply to the Legislature to abolish the day. But we have not yet told all?wa have nidi yet had our say. We have another iqdictmeutyet to prefer. The day was as much noted c : : - 1 - ipi ilb aaionis 8non-comiugs?for the excess of noise and riot and confusion, aa for the lack of legitimate business. Now this ought to be stopped-, and in behalf of good tuorals and good order, we say it mast be stopped. People who come from a distance, must oenave tnemseives as quiotly hero as when at home. If they will not, the authorities Lore must Bee that they do so. Borne times difficulties are unavoidable, but in the majority of cases all parties are to blame. Is there any reason why the public peace should not preserved on Saledaj as well as any other day?.-... . Another dums Coming.

If we of the Soutl wish to foster immigration, w< 5 must do the work ourselves. W< must put our own shoulders to tin wheel. Wo must organize, an< ^ act in concert; and then with i wise foresight, and well-timed lib ' erality, we must offer inducement for the immigrant to come, an< ^ then bring him here. We must b liberal of our money and of ou ; lands. A liberal policy now is th ! true economy.

Dr. Turuipsced makes the followinj suggestion in a communication in th P/icenix: My proposition is, that tko nicn o South Carolina, who comprohend fill ly the iiocc8sily of moving in tlii matter, form a joint stock compnn; of, say $10, $20. ?50 or even $100 pe share. Organize a ccntral or distri billing bureau at some central point perhaps Columbia would do ; and sub bureaus at each village in tho State let all arrivals report at the centra bureau, and be distributed aceordin; to the various demands of the eub-bu jrcau throughout tho State.
