The Difficulty with England.
During the past two weeks an angry
discussion fias been going on in the English
and American journals with regard
to the claim preferred by this Country,
before the Geneva Conference, now
in session, under the treaty of Washington.
It has also been the subject of an
excited debate in the English Parliament,
has received prominent mention
it. CnoAJih and has called
211 lilC V(Uuvu m | ? - ^
forth a dispatch from Earl Granville,
the English foreign minister. So great
has been the excitement of the public
mind in England that grave apprehensions
have been felt of a war between
the two countries.
The clause of the treaty under which
our claims are preferred is as follows:
"Now in order to remove and adjust all
complaints and claims on the part of
the United States, and to provide for the
cpeedy settlement of such claims, which
are not admitted by Her Britannic Majesty's
government, the high contracting
parties agroe that all the said claims,
growing out of acts committed by the
aforesaiq vessels and generally known
as the "Alabama claims," shall bo referred
to a tribunal of arbitration to be
composed of five arbitrators, to be appointed
in the following manner, that
is to say:?One shall be named by the
President of the United States; one
shall be named by Her Britanic Majesty
; His Majesty the King of Italy shall
be requested to name one; the President
of the Swiss Confederation shall be requested
to name one, and. His Majesty
the Emperor of Brazil shall be requested
to name one."
The American "case," presented by
J. Bancroft Davis, the agent of this
Government, claims not only direct
damages in the destruction of American
vessels by the Alabama and other cruisers
sailing from English ports, but also
consequential damages, resulting from
the decay of American commerce, the
increased rates of insurance, the prolongation
of war, &c. The first may
amount to some fifty or sixty millions
of dollars, but the last have been estimated
at about four billions?a sum so
large that Earl Granville declares that
"no people in the last extremity of war
and in the lowest depths of misfortune
with the spirit of Englishmen in their
hearts, would submit to it."
The Queen In her Speech, statesmen
in Parliament, and public journals out
of It, deny that the claim for consequential
damages comes within the
terms of the Treaty, or the province of
the arbitration. On the other hand the
American claim is as stoutly pressed.
The language of the Treaty is vague,
and who shall decide ? It would seem
that the negotiation precedent and concurrent,
and whose results were embodied
!n the Treaty, might determine this
question.
But after all, the American claim
seems rather intended as ? campaign
document, which is not to be passed
upon until' after the Presidential election.
It is not be supposed thafthe arbitrators
would sanction it, and hence
the fears of England seem fo be groundless.
There seems to be no reason to apprehend
war.
WOMAN-SUFFRAGE.
The "National Suffrage Committee,"
composed of distinguished female advocates
of woman-suffrage, lately held a
three days Convention in Washington
City. The object of the meeting was to
memorialise Congress to pass a declaratory
enabling women to vote. This was
made necessary by a recent decision of
the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia,
which sustained the action of
the Board of Registers, in refusing to
register the names of two women who
made application. The claim was
pressed under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments of the Constitution.
which, in oomerring me n^ai ui wusenahlp,
were alleged to give also the
fight of suffrage. But the Court decided
ihftt the right to vote was not an absolute
or Datnral right; and that it was not
ft necessary incident of citizenship. All
that the late Amendments to the Constitution
had done, was to make all natives
of tne United States citizens thereof.
As citizens, womon were capable of
. becoming voters, but that the legislative
power of Congress?the supreme lawmaker
of that District?was necessary to
carry the inchoate right into effect. In
the free of this decision, it was then
necessary that Congress should act in
the matter; and hence the memorial.?
Bat it seems that Congress, with all its
enlarged ideas of progress, is not prepared
for this advanced step in the march of
modern reform. The Judiciary /Committee
of the Senate has reported against
the proposed measure, and it seems likely
that the Judiciary Committee of the
House, with .Butler at its head, will
follow suit
The authors of the woman-suffrage
movement have been active and persis
tent, but so far have attended with but
limited success. In New Yorlfland Philadelphia
they have indeed succeeded in
tting the Boards of Registry to accede
demands of applicants, but in the
% nstanoe where the judgments of
-ta has been invoked, as in Wash.
4 ey have been ignominiously
the coui v character of the leaders
ington, th anced views of freo-love
defeatedand
the ^
j which *
I . rave promulgated, bav
disgusted the sober-minded of botl
sexes against the movement, and array
ed a daily increasing opposition. Ii
Wyoming, woman-suffrage has bee
brought to the teat of experiment?44]
has been trie<l in the balance and foun<
wanting." Women have been allowe
to sit on juries and to vote, bat exp<
rieuce has proved that it would not d<
and the obnoxious law has been repeal
ed.
In spite of all that has boeh said b;
Mill and other distinguished advocate
of woman-suffrage, it seems to be i
war with the first principles of our na
ture, and to divest woman of the crowt
ing attractions, |nd chief graces of he
sex.
Sale of the Spartanburg & Unio

Chamberlain's place, at least, to hav
notified the Legislature officially of th
danger impending, and not to stan
quietly by as he did and see our alread;
impoverished State mulcted to the tun
of $200,000 in a transaction with whicl
he, of all the State officials, is chief!;
concerned. We understand that Messrs
Worthington & Co., the purchasers c
the {road, have already been offers
$250,000 for their bargain. This wouli
be more than enough to cover the liabil
fty of the Sute; and had the least e)
forts been made by the State officials
and this effort a word of warning am
suggestion by the State's attorne;
might have induced them to make, th
proceeds of the sale would, in all proba
bility, have amounted to $800,000 in
stead of $450,000."

Bill to Amend tiie Electio
Law.?The bill of Mr. Arnim of th
Senate, which it now before the Judicii
ry Committee of that body, provid<
for certain needful changes in the pre
ent defective, Iniquitous election lav
One of the most important of its pr<
visions is that which directs that one <
tho three Commissioners of Electio
shall belong to the party in oppositio
to the Government, and also oneofth
three Managers of election at each pr<
cinct. This is a very necessary safe
guard; and perhaps a provision eve;
more important is that which direct
that the votes shall be publicly counte
by the Managers at the close of th
poll. The great defect of the presen
law is that it affords every opportunit;
for the exercise of fraud in the recep
tiou and manipulation of the votes, am
that it gives the Governor and his ap
pointees the entire control and manage
mcnt of the elections. The bill of Mi
Arnim is very well, so far as it goes, bu
it makes no provision for registration c
votes. This 13 necessary to avoid "r?
feating," one of the most oomraon ele<
tion frauds?which can only bo prevenl
ed by a proper registration.
Asn-W edxesday?lent.?This day i
known in the Church Calendar as ApIi
Wednesday, the first day of Lent?th
fast of forty days which preoedes Ea*
ter. It takes its name from a custoc
which still prevails in Roman Catholi
countries of sprinkling the head an
forehead with ashes. It is the fort)
sixth day before Easter, the six Sunday
which intervene not being counted as
part of the festival or so observed. I
the Roman Catholic Church, tne natui
' of the fast is prescribed by rule?onl
one meal being allowed a day, and i
this flesh is prohibited.
The carnival, or "farewell to meat
comprises the eleven days precedin
Lent, and is celebrated with great bri
liancy in Roman Catholic countries.

ing, of wnlch 61 are private incorpora- 1

it will not be considered until the 14th.? *
i- At .that time it is probable that the reso- B

The engineers of the Blue Bidge swindle 1
will demand this, as they will not have 1

The South Carolina Railroad. "
The public mind of Charleston is very
nuch agitated over a proposition on the
>art of the Central Georgia Road, to
ake charge and control of the South
Carolina Road. The journals of the
lity have been thoroughly discussing I
he matter, and show very conclusively,
re think, that such a step would result i
n ruin as well to the Road as to the
ilty. Its very design is to destroy the
>outli Carolina Road, by obtaining conrol
of its affairs, and divert trade from
Charleston ; thus building up Savannah
md Georgia interests. The inducement
leld forth is a dividend of four per cent,
othe stockholders for a limited time;
>ut as the Charleston papers show, it
night well afford to pay a much higher
irice to accomplish its purposes. We
rust the permanent interests of our
>wn Road and City will not be sacrificed
n the pursuit of a temporary present
idvantage.
Taxation in South Cyolina.
The Charleston News presents a strikng
view of the ernormous burden of
axation to which the people of the State
,re now subjected, by comparing it with
he light taxation Imposed before the
par, and that, too, on property real and
lersonal, three times more valuable than
t Is at the present. And to add to the
;loom of the situation, the public debt,
n spite of the vast income, has been
nore than doubled, and the public credit
eriously impaired both at homo and
broad. Says the News: . . .
"The tax for 1870, due and payable
etween January 15 and March 1,1871,
i*as at tiie rate of 9 mills on the dollar ,
or State purposes, and 3 mills on tlio
lollar for county purposes, and amounted
0 $2,265,047. ' \
The tax for 1871, duo and payable beween
November 20, 1871, and January
5, 1872, was at the rate of 7 mills for
>tate purp98es, and 3 mills for county
>urposes, and amounted to $1,830,000.
The proposed tax for 1872, payable in
nstalments before July 1,1873, is at the
ate of 16 mills for State purposes, and
1 mills for county pnrposes, and amounts
on the same assessment as that of 1870
md 1871, viz; $183,000,000), to $3,477,>00,"
These sums, with a poll-tax for three
cars of $450,000, aggregate the enormous
um of $8,022,047 in twenty-eight months,
>r at the rate of $286,501 a month?when
:ouipared with the estimated average
innual tax before the war of $610,173, or
>50,847 a month?exhibiting a rate of
axatiou more than quadrupled, Says
he News :
"Thpm ia anntlior tpaf Tr? IfiftA t.hfc
eal and personal property of the State
>vas assessed for taxation at 489,000,000,
md nearly all the real estate was assessed
at far less than its value. At the
present time the assessment is only
5183,000,000, although all property is put
iown at its full value. The tax of $50,J47
a month, before the war, was equal
:o a yearly charge of 12} cents upon ev;ry
hundred dollars' worth of real and
personal property, The tax of twentyTight
months of Radical rule, at the rate
>f $286,501 a month, is equal to a yearly
charge of $1 88 upon every hundred dollars'*
worth of real and personalproperty.
This is not all. In one year, the State
ilcbt, as admitted by the State officials,
is increased from $7,665,908 to 15,768,708.
NVe may, thereforo, put down-the known
cost of the State Government for the
twenty-eight months at:
State and County taxes $8,022,047
Increase of debt 8,102,000
Total $10,124,047
That is to say, nearly nine per cent, of
the assessed value of all the real and personal
property is consumed l?y the injrease
of the public debt for one, and by
the taxation for twenty-eijrht months.?
A.nd for this vast expenditure the people
of the State who pay taxes have
nothing to show but discredit abroad,
rail distress and disquiet at home."
Messrs. Barnwell & Co. call" especial
attention to their choice stock of
.hoes, which have been made to order,

Renovation.?"Wooden structures are
temporarily going up upon the Burnt
District, and Messrs. McDonald & Adimson,
and L. H. Russell have erected
buildings which, we suppose, will soon
(five place to more commodious and substantial
structures. Messrs. O'A'call &
Son, we learn, intend erecting a range
af three stores, with rooms above ; Mr.
John Knox will also erect a commodious
brick building; and Messrs. Cothran
& "Wilson are clearing out the founiation
upon .which will rise a new Mar
ihall House perhaps superior to the old.
With iron fronts and all the modern
improvements, the North-Eastern side
of the Public Square will rise scx^n from
its desolation to equal, if not surpass, the
Western.
The proposition to enlarge the Public
Square seems to meet with general approval.
