The Next State. New Mexico applies at the farnily door f6r admission into the Union as a State. Couparatively little seems to be known of this territory, its fertility, its resources. and people, by the a 'er age re-der. Its geographical posi tion, distance from the settled portion of the other States, and inconvenient and uncomfortable modes of public travel redeir it almost inaccessible to the modern traveller, and its world is nearlya sealed book to the people be yond its litaits. She has an area of: about 400,000square miles, and claims a population of 112,000. She main tains also that her ability for self-sup port is well established, upon the gruid that, while all the other terri tories-hae, at some time during their territorial existence, appealed to charity for bread to feed their famish iaginhabitants, or relief from pesti. leneor fire, New Mexico, besides hav ing anz abundance for her own people, has always had a surplus more than sufficient to supply the army in New: Meiie and Arizona with breadstuffs and-forage. The people are affirmed to be :1a*-abidiug, industrious, thrifty, and frugal, hospitable and generous; conservative in financial affairs; slow to contract debts, and willing to make sacrifies to pay them. It is further urged that since the adoption of the Federal Constitution fifteen new States have -been admitted, each having a population of less than 85,000, and one of the number less than '5,000, while the average of the whole fifteen was about 62,000. Hence she considers there is no principle of right or justice .upon :which she can be longer refused admission into the Union. [Exchange. I-MH SOUTH ND MR. SUMNER." -Under this heading we fiid the sub joined very just editorial article in the New York Commercial Advertiser of Monday evening: "At is curious and instructive to sote the sentiments of the Southern press towards Mr. Sumner. As a rule, no harsh language is used, and the feeling is one of 'forgiveness." They used'to hate Mr. Sumner most e irdially, but io his conduct for the past two or three years they find much to commend. They do not mourn his loss very deeply, but they acquiesce in -.it, and speak well of the dead. We can imagine the byesa howls of petty weekly journals in the bucolie part of the South, but in the cities the tone is moderate and respectful. The points in Mr. Sumner's favor at the South are his battle-tag resolution; his antip athy to carpet-baggers; his feelings on the Louisiana question; his condemn *nation of profligacy in South Carolina by his black wards, and the generali -amelioration of his tone. Twenty years ago there was peril for Charles Sumner on every acre of Southern soil.1 This year he would have been kindly welelmned almost everywhere in thati part of the Union; and all because he * had 'unloaded' himself cf some part of the 'resentments,' as the South would: call them, he had so long and persist ently eherished. A very little 'soften-j ing' on the war question goes a great way with the South, as the campaign I of ~1S72 demnonstrated. The era of ecod feeling is still extant, when men of all parts of the land speak well of the dead frho have served their coun try in the field or forum." FNews & Courier. WHIAT IS SPENT FOR LIQUOR.-.' The amount of money spent for liquors throughout. the United States during 1870 was $1,487,000,000, which, if1 increased by $90,000.000. the esti - mated criminal.fruits of liquor drink ing, would reach the astonishing sum of $1 ,5yi.Q000,000. Even Massaciu *seis' s.hare of this was directly $27, 979,575; though this did not include .the worse than useless prohibitory ma ehinery and -the expensive and -cor rupt State Constabulary, which make of the liquor traffic an excuse for exist * ing in default of any other. New York ~spent $246,617,520. On the other hand, the country spent in flour amd meal, cottoni goods, boots and shoes, elothing. woolen goods, newspa pers and job printing, $905.000,000O. It was estinmated that the amount of liggors consuzued was sufficient to fill a eanal four feet deep, fourteen feet wide, and eighty miles long, and the number who drank the stream dry would, if formed in a procession fhve abre:ast, msake an army one hundred and thirty miles long.4 The inmmigration commissioners of New York were addressed last week. by the president of the board, who said, amonigst other things : "I believe uImay safely say that to previous boa:rd has dlone so much in the same per-iod of time as the present board has done to egecourage the settlement (ot emigrants in the South. Early in November last, this board sent Rev. Robert Neumann, a German elergy-I man, into the Southern States to see-k emloymient for immigrants who were willine to m:igrate thither, and who wou:d" otherwise have been a c-harge uponm the e,oard. He spent considera ble time in South Carolina, holdin1~ meetings and calling attention to the n.atte-r through the press, the pulpit and other ways The present enthu siatsm on the subject may properly be attributed in a large degree to his efforts. As a result of his visit,ne-arly] I ,000 per$ns have found comfortable homes~s at remunerative wages in that:. Staite. Of this number, the- board< paid the passage of three hundred and If.mrteen persons. It was c-ompell'd to do this. or else support themi until employment ecould be found for them here. 'It is easy to find fault, and ano- t the-r way to criticise us for doing toot much a p:aying their passage." i [Nh,e.rs f& >uier. i KRE1A TION.-A corresponIden t callst tttinto a eustom prevakent in Pe- I ru.

Both houses of Congress on Mon; day had the currency question under -n0Iideration, aad in the Houseof Representatives the expansionistsWso *ed such an unexpectedly large prepon derance that there can be little doubt that the legslation.wilLbainsubstan tial accordance with their views. The bill 6xing the amount of legal-tenders at 8400.000,000 being under discus siOn, amendineuts were offered by Mr. Dawes, of Masaehusettei fixing the amount at $356.000,000, and by Mr. Ruberts, of New York, at $382,000, 000,the amount specified as the maxi-I m -nfliait of the United Sttertnotes in the Senate .bilL introduced by Mr. Sheruianl. Bothof these amendments were voted down, and the bill passed as reported. making an addition to the present authorized volume of legal tender issues of the government of 844,000,000, or of $18,000,00 to the actual outstanding issues. The.amount of expansion, therefore, proposed by the House bill is only 818,000,000. Naturally, Messrs. Morton, Logan and the other advocates of expansion claim a triumph, but so far it is rather in doctrine than in amounL The bill reported in the Senate fron> the finance committee, as above stated, fixes the limit of the legal-tender issue at $382,000,000, and also provides for free banking, but obviates expansion by requiring that legal tender notes shall be retired as fast as bank notes are issued. The working of the bill will be to increase thi banking capital of the country by 8100,000,000, (this capital to be distributed.to the States not now haxing their proper propor: tion.) and to reduce the legal tender issue to three hundred millions, so that when its provisions ar- fully ear ried out. the amount of national cur rency will stand at $500,000,000 and legal-tenders at $300,000.000,.aking the entire paper currency of the coun try $800,000.000. Nothing in the act is to be construed as authorizing any increase of the public debt of the. United States.. Mr. Sherman, in in trodneing the bill. said that it had been agreed upon as a compromise between the members of the committee, that some of its features were not approved if by several members, and that he had given his own consent .to it with reat reluctance. It is apparent that he action of the House will have a dis ouraging effect upon the suecess of he bill in its present shape. News & Courier. REFUNDING THE CoroN TAX. rhe Atlanta Herald has the following upecial from Washington giving an icount of the action taken at the aeeting-of the Southern Congressmen -eently held in Washington City : The Cotton States members have ield a meeting to perfect some bill for he refundment of the cotton tax, upon hich ali the Southern members could aite. In pursuance of the resolution a that effect, Cot Lamar, of Missis ippi, the Chairman of the meeting ppointed the following committee to Waft a bill and present it to an ad ourned meeting Tuesday night, to-wit: Cook, of Georgia; Bright, of Ten iessee; Hames, of Arkansas; Ashe, of North.

The sub-committee will prob. ibly-adopt the bill introduced by Mr. Wh'kite. hut it is understood to be ~rawnu by Mr. Stephens. This bi!l ecms to guard the interests of the ottoni plainter with less complicated nachinery than any ether bill yet in roduced. OLDEST FORTIFiCATION IN A MER ~A.-The Spanish fort of San Juan. de Pinos, now Icalled Fort Marion, at St. ~ugustine, Fla., is the oldest fortifica :ion on the WVestern continent still ised as a place of defense. Its covers bout an acre of ground. and would ac yomodate agarrison of L,000 men,with too guns. h was begun in 1520 and :ompleted in 1756. the Indians being xmpelled to do the labor of building. rer the entrance is the Spanish coat >f arms and the name of the then G-ov ~rnor, the chief engineer of the works, md the date of the completion of the 'ort. In 1835 a dungeon was discov ~red by ihe caring of a wall from bove, and in it were two iron cages just large enough to admit the body fa man, and each contained a humnan hele ton. Who the vie:tims were there s no tradition t.> tell. In one of the lueons Osecola was chained pre iouu t3 his remondl to Fort Moultrie. he fort is now garrisoned by an old ergeanit. An extraordinary cirumtanCe ini :he history of the country occurs on the leath of Mr. Fillmore. Ne+er before ince the administration of Jefferson has it happened that only one persor~ svas alive, except the incumbent, who bad filled the Preside.itial office. Andy Johnso)n is naow the only ex-President ling; and even he was not elected to h:t office, but came to it as Vice Presi lent oni the assassination of Mr, Lin ,In. While the younger Adams was President the elder Adams, Mad ison and Monroe were living. When Buhanan was elected, Van Buren, 'yler, Pierce and Fillmore were alive. When Lincoln was inaugurated, Van Burem, Tyler, Pierce, Fillmore and Bnchanan were liing. Within the past thirty-seven years seven Pai lents have been elected besides Grant.

At the last session of the General Assemibly an act was passed to -regu late tbe manner in which the public funds are to be disbursed by offeial'. [t miakes it unlawful for -any officer, State or County, whose duty it is to isburse any fund, to contract or is ue any money order ia.excesa of the ppropriation for any purpose. And further, no public offeer can appropri te the funds accruing from tax levy n one fise.l- year to the liquida ion of debts contracted in any prc ious year. -Take the publie school: fund, for instance.- When ehevl-s ave been issued by the School Com missioner in amont equal to the sp propriation for school purposes in 'his ounty for any -fiscal year, then no more money. ordes iean be given, whether the schools eontinue or not. Nor can.the Treasurer apply the fat ds f one school year to the payment of theschool claim.sof a past year. These, if provided for at all, will have to be paid by special appropriation. Any ofeier violating the p1avisions of' this at will be punishable by -fine, not less than five hundred dollars, nor more than five thousand dollars, or by i prsonmer t at hard labor in the peni tent iary from one to five years, or by both fine and imprisonment. This aet is niow In force, We think the act ai good one. It will in the future prevent-the necessi ty of miakingappropriations to supply defeiencuies. It will remove uneer tainty and prev'ent loss, for when the funds fur any partieular purpose 'is spent, the jig is up,wrd those whol have beens working e-.peeting to be paid from that fundl will throw down the shovel and the hoe until the ex chequer is replenished. We hope the offcers will let the people know when the laist dollar is gone. How Old school claims are to be Paid. We present below two sections of' the act to provide for the payment of the cutstanding school claims issued be fore November.:1872. jolders will be glad to know that dll these clains, wbich they had somze o believe were worthiess, will be paid n the course of humnan events: Section 1. Tbat the school commis ioners of the several counties of this State shall proceed forthwith upon the passage ot this act, to report to the ~ounty treasurlers of their respective ounties, the number and amount of past due school claims up to the first ay of November, 1872, remaining un-' paid in their respective counties: Pro ided, That all school claims issued rior to the first day of N:ovemnber. 872, shall be first paid, as prescribed a this act. Section 2. That the county tres-. rrs of the several counties of the tate, upon receiving such re'ports,Shall evote the poll tax collected in their re pective counties to the paymenc;t of hLeclas so reported; and, also, thatever surplus ma~y remain of the "nd raised for the support of the wid ws and orphlans of those killed on ie 'ount of their political opinions, in hope pog gs~ where such levy 'has een ma;; and shpu1 he px of o11 tax col,let.e is ay couny, in he first year after ~he p~ss~gc of t.hi~ ~EdiM0 Corresponfnie. .

The city' lhas been pretty well done, including of course the tiuie lionored SATURDAY NIG1HTS' STROLL THROUGH THE MARKET, an omission >f wIch olld ane for a long regret. It is indeed a sight worth seein.viieMcsided tb thP~6 6"n fusion of sounds, the huckstering of butchers. vegetable women, fruit and fish venders, inake it one which once seen cannot be forgotten, anda repeti tion of 'which is always'a fresh deligyht.. On entering this famous and highly ne cessary institution, the first thing no ticed is the watehful pli-ceman, -who is careful :to pievent - persons obstruetiig the porch or entrance on the, Meetiig Street side, for were this not done te boys who pride themselves on their muscle and mustachios, the latter of which shows to good advantage undjer the bright gaslight, would become numerous that the anxious Sundavd - ner hunters would find it'difficult to t in. Once in, the visitor sees oodles of eggs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and per haps, game, and all between and around, and wherever a place ,can be found, are squatted the old maimas, with trays of candv. pinders, cakes. tarts, fritters, &c., with here and there a more pretentions table presided over by a rosy-eheeked German, on which the table, not. "the Dutchman-are spread amenagerie of candy ornaments. Then comes the beef market, and such delicious looking quarters, rounds, sir loins, briskets; here the confusion is considerable, "this side, sir,,give you a nice roast, tender steak," sounds from a bindred throats, while the eager crowd, alternately swaying to the right 'and left, pushing here, elbowing there, Nvith baskets of all sizes and shapes, running into some CORPULENT GENTLEMAN'S STOMACH, or upsetting some' little fellow who hasn't weight sufficient to resist the pressure, while a yell from some unfor tunate who gets his corps crushed by a p:r of No. 12 brogans, swell. the confusion into that of worse confounded. Passing on, the small meats are seen, such as Teal, pork, lamb mutton, little pigs for stuffing purposes, sausage of pork and bologna-, puddings of liver and blood, hog head cheese and every thing else that the natural and unnatu ral tastes of,1man can call: for. Cross ing Church Street through. MORE M[AUMAS, who there peddle -tripe,. chitlings, oys ters and crabs, and colored uncle's who sell children's benches, little bedsteads, &c., you.get into the region of vegeta ble and fruits. andl the display of Wvhich at this season is quite respectable. The space occupied for these latter depart ments eover two squares, from Chnreh Street, over State and-to' the -Bay, the latter portion of which is used 'by 'the fish men, and on their tables of white marble are to be seen~ fresh sbuad, black fish, crocus, trout, halibut, &c. But too much leae has bien given to' tis im -perfe'ct sketch of Charleston market on Saturday night, through which thous ands of persons, men, vomen and chil dren, white and black. pass, somes with m.oney to buy and othei-s wiithout mon ey, and who can only take. it ont in looking. No apology. however, will be made for dwelling .on the subject to such length, but an earnest 'invitation is extendeT to the'IHERA~LI readers, who hare' ndver passed through the great snpply 'phtee, to'avail themnselves of 'do ing so at the first' opp'ortuuity. They are assured truly, 'that no possible con ception ca~n, he hady of ie scene" here alluded tQ by a 'iisit.to our own market ir 'Newberry, Business is not brisk, .and the day's work as a general thing seems to be through with by two or three o'clock, judging by the TURN OUT OF PEOP'LE on the main ;wenues, as well as the turn outs which are' used, unless the weathet' be very inclement, every other mnan and his wife goes out for an airing, and to increase the swell of his -heart by. exhibiting to the eyes of the Charles ton world his fast horse or elegant bug gy. It is.a surprise that frequent accI dents do no~t hippsn, nQt pgly by;pc.k less dvivevs, bu fromp the mimbers which fill the roads, On Saturdlay af ternoon last, while enjoyig a drive up the plank road, a furious'~clatter was heard in the rear, and before it could be seen what was the matter, OUR VEHICLE WAS INVADED by :mn old Teuton's black pony, closely followed by his buggy, the shafts of which penettated through the wood work to the almost serious injury of a lady in the party. The shock was fear ful and unexpected, our hat was thrown forward several feet, and several chil dren were brought up from a sitting posture to their feet. The old gentle [nan had either taken too much lager ov not eiiough, and from eithey cause found himself unable to control the pony. The latter opinion is perhaps the safest to entertain, for on going back after the p)ropulsion1 which had driven us considerably forwaurd, an ex amiaon of the gentleman's face re yeglcd a~ total absepce of any ai pear Beer, It was5 fearfully pale, and his knees smote together. It was a narrow escape. It is THlE rASIION HIERE amonig the latdies to drive spirited borses without the aid of masculine help, and it is confessed they present a pleasing appearance while no danger s near, but not so when they get into touQ as iga gl~ g with g q if fast damsels "qtopog smee Ns 4, Iaely taken advantage f.

Riggs, of wiom pleasant mention-ha-4reiqnt ly been made, takes in the King treet lih'e.from Line street through Calhoun, and Meeting to the Postoffice, and a-ain down to the Battery, while Rut ledge street, running parallel, traverses the westr side down through the handoiest part of the city, and turn 4g,AhabuLa mile below, crosses-into Meeting and takes the Postoffice and Battery route also. If one *does not wish then to'return by the same way, a delightful walk around the Battery which at this season ih delicious-will bring you t0. one of the elegant little cars of the Enterprise road, which is always in waiting. This line runs through Bay street and after making numerous, sinuous turns, some of.which appearing to lead to the water, brings you out into Meeting street, to the head of the road at Line street. So far you have expended 10 cts, and now for five -mlore, another neat car will convey you TO MAGNOLIA, the beantiful city of the dead, over which the soft shadows of the tall pine, and cypress, and spreading oak ever rest, and the sighing breeze makes a fitting and appropriate requiem for the sleeping dead. No one with time. to spare should omit Magnolia Cemetery.. After an hour spent there. if a ride back on.the Enterprise is not to the taste, a seat in one of the busses whieh run to that point will- bring you back for 10 tents to the starting point on King street, and fire -more invested "in another seat in Col. Riggs' commo-. dious cars will take you to your -hotel, and thus for thirty cents a whole after noon s enjoyment has been had. Some times the -incidents seen on the way will compensate ir themselves for the out lay. and one of which might as well be told here.

It was a wasp lie was- fighting, and which - he had struck to the ground, and unfortu nately stepped upon, and the sting of which he had thought as sharp as da pin or da needle. The scene had to be witnessed to be fully appreciated. In notici the market, sufficient jus tice was not done to one of the PRINCIPAL PRODUTIONs of Charleston,.and which though abun dant in that depot is not peculiar to it, for it abounds everywhere, and is'as no cessar y to the happiness of' the citizen as baker's bread, viz: Sausage Bologna. It always flourishes, no matter what the condition of-the meatnmarket, and it is not singular if strangers sometimes entertain the idea that the grinders and stuffers of this stomachic are never at a. loss for material. -No matter, however, for when.properly seasoned Bologna is good.

In York County the total amount called for by the tax duplicate 'was $79,729 G0; the total amount remain ing unpaid .March 7, including the penalty, is $3,428.92. Of this amount I1.271.70I stands charged to the Air Line Railroad Canyany'and $601 is due from polls. Chicago, since 1860, has made very rapid strides in the establishment of maniufactories within its bounds. In 1860, that city.had 125 manufacto ries; it now has 750, employing a capital of over $50.00000 and giv ing emiploymnent to 50,000 well paid artisans. This is an increase of 500 per cent. in fourteen years. London's population is three times greater. thani that of Ne.w York, and its area five times greater, yet.the ex pense of i-unning the~ city of New York the.present .'ear4 is estimated:to exceed that of London for the same time by. $2,500,000.

The Baltimore (R.zette states that King Koffee, of Ashanitee, is a great firenman, and would rather run with the machine than eat fried man-steak.

The doctors do not agree as to the ciuse of Mr. Sumer's death. In a very able artiele .Dr. Castle ridicules the diagnosis of D)r.
