* Jho South Carolina Caaos?Another Chanco for
Political Capital.
Wasiiihuton, July 20.?A decision was
reached to-doy in regard to the South Carolina
revenue easts* by the President, which will.have
iho effect ol raising a square issue between the
. Fcdeial government and the Stale government
of .South Carolina. Special counsel liurlw urN
rived here to day from South Carolina to consult
with Attorney Ucncrul lievcns in regard to
the ease. After the Cabinet meeting was concluded,
Oetteral ftevns and Mr. Knrlo had a
long conference with the President, when the
ease was thoroughly discussed in all its bearings.
It was decided to call Secretary livarts
to the conference, and to hear his view as to the
law and the duly of the general government under
the circumstances. Secretary I'.varts took
tiic position dial the federal authority must
maintain its sovereignly and its right to dispose
of the eases before its own courts without interference
by lite State authorities, and that the
government should ptoeeed t<> not at once under
M'Otiou til.l of the revised statutes, and to have
cuit Court of tlie I'nitcd .States.
After furtlicr discussion and interchange of
opinions die President decide I to nceept tlie
view taken by Secretary llvarts. ami not to let
the eases go to the Supreme Court of the State
on appeal. The necessary instructions have
hern given to carry the decision into clfeet.?
Mr. Marie left here lo-uight for Italiiuiorc to see
Judge liotid. who is the Cnit'-d States Circuit
Judge of South Carolina, and to arrange with
liim to go to South Carolina at once and hold a
( special tckm of court, fa that the cases
rertoved from the State Court, and the imprisoned
revenuj ollicials released on hail.
Great interest is manifested iu these proceedings
here by federal ollicials, and the belief is
shared by many that Judge Kershaw will not
aei|wiesce in the step about to he taken, and
that the State ollicials will not surrender up the
f ur revenue ollicials to the Ctiiled States Marshal
iu response to the summons of the Circuit
Court. If this course is pursued an open eonDiet
and a resort to armed force on the part of
the f ederal authority would scent to be inevitable.
It is no secret that both the President and Attorney
General l>cv?:u.- base been inclined for a
day or two to allow these eases to go to the Supreme
Court of the State of South Carolina, on
appeal, without resorting fo the alternative
agreed upon to-day, lloth of tlievc ollicials
have wanted to avoid a conflict if possible, and
Attorney General 1'cvcns in speaking of tlie
case said he saw no reason for bringing about
an issue with the State government, lie was
disposed to take the conservative course of letting
the ease bedipoved of by the South Carolina
courts iu regular order, and thus avoid any
feeling between the federal and Stale ollicials.
The calling of Secretary llvarts into the case,
however, has led tliu President to adopt the
other course, and to risk an issue with the State
authorities.
It became known to a considerable number of
Kciniblicans that the President was inclined to
h>t (lie State full its settle thcso cases, ami no
little feeling wiuj produced in consequence,
which woulil have manifested itself if the President
hal not adopted Secretary Heart's view of
the tnatlcr. It rvas freely charged hy Republicans
to-day that the President and Attorney
tieiieral were exhibiting cowardice in dealing
with this question, and that they were afraid of
tlorcriior llamptou and the cfleet of an issue
with hint upon the country at large. Pepuhlienn
polilicans arc now thoroughly satisfied with
1 ho line of action agreed upon, and say thai if
the Slate authorities attempt to resist ihc federal
authorities in attempting to carry into cxcTut
ion secliou o-ld that ft will have an excellent
HMB efleet throiigliout the North and greatly strengthen
the Republican party in the approaching
Congressional campaign.? llnllimorc Sun.

N.vrt.rs, Itai.v, July 10, 1K7H.?The widocirrulation
of your valuable paper is such, that it
has hocn ccusidered to be proper by a number
of Americans now in this city to give your readers
an account of the shameful treatment of a
distinguished American l.tdy by one of the pro
prielors of the Hotel Uoyal des lit rangers, one
of the largest hotels in this city, and of liicjust
punishment which he received at the hands of
gentlemen who were ready to peril their lives
in the cause of right and truth against imposition
and oppression upon .141 unprotected lady;
Miss Mary t'ustis l.ee, a daughter of (iencrah
Holier K. I.ee, arrived here a few days since in
company with some lady friends from Malta,
who registered at the above named hotel. Jt
appears that during the night of the Sih instant,
the mosquito bar around llio bed ignited accidentally
from a caudle which Miss l.ee had
lighted. In a few moments the flumes spread
an I caught the lace curtains, and the room was
soon enveloped in flames, wlncl^ Miss l.ee heroically
endeavored to suppress but without success.
and tearing 1 hat the hotel might lie burned.
she pave (lie alarm of lire, which soon was
heard by some gentlemen, who were occupying;
rooms on the same lloor, when ex-Judge Samuel
\V. Mellon ami Mr. NV. A. Clark, of Columbia,
S. C., were ihc lir>t who cainc to (lie rescue of
Miss l.ee, ami sneceeileil in saving her money
mi I valuable jewelry from the tlaiucs. The
morning following the lire. Mi s l.ee expressed
her willingness to pay all damages, th-nigh I lie
lire had occurred from accident. The propriulor
taking ailvanlnge of the lady, demanded
francs ; which was a preposterous. ami
enormous charge for the damage. A gentleman
from Ohio, a Mr. Polar I, a guest of the hotel,
who has been vice president of tin insurance
company for a number of years, estimated the
damage at !Sj(>. The friends of Miss l.ee at
once demurred to this enormous charge. The
American consul, Mr. Inincan, at this place was
exceedingly kind, and pretested against the payment
of any such sum. The proprietor now being
foiled in his disgraceful cli'ort to overcharge
lor damage occurring from accident, became insolent
and spoke in a manner which retleeted
upon Miss l.ee. The insult was <|uickly resented.
Mr. Clark, of Columbia, S. ('..struck him
over tho bead with an umbrella. In a few moments
the proprietor was surrounded by a number
of Italians, who were clerks, w uteis and
ntlaehees of the hotel. I?u! they were met by
Judge Melton, Co|. Julin T. Sloan, dr., Mr. It.
'P. Jordan, of South Carolina, ami l>r. I. Ik
11 belts, of (ieorgia, who by their courage and
determination caused them to stampede ami call
Jbr the police. A large crowd soon assembled
about the hotel. The proprietor was denounced
by Colonel Sloan for his comlm-l towards Miss
l.ee : who challenged liiin to go into the garden

Somo Awful ScatUrin* Idees.
WKLt< Mu. Kurrou, "Scntterbr.iiu" lias bin
list niii round at some of the big utis and lots
of tlie little uns, and fetching tliur idees, and
now, instead of scattering, lie wants to sum total
the whole matter in a sorter of a scattering
way.
Til the first jdaco lie would like
t?J sco fewer offices pay to the
otlicers ; he dont want the lowest priced article,
hat lie's generous and ekoruoinieal
like, and wants the bcxt officers for the least
living money, because money is awful scace
and hard to come at ; but a Utile money will go
along ways and should be handled kccrfully, to
keep it from going plum out of the Country.?
Meat's cheap, and bread's cheap, and sugar and
colly cheap, ami ulhcr things is cheap in proportion,
atvl there's so nicnuy pateroltick feller
Citi/.uns wautin ollis that 1 think wo might get
a first rate bargin outcii some of cm
In the second place, or secondly, we might
and should tend men to the Legislator smart
entill" to do away with Auditor and Treasurer,
and make u good old fashioned Tax collector,
and let him aud i and treasure both, like they
used to, and thereby save several hundred dollars
to the County. Tin n wc might let the people
elect this otliccr too, atul take some t the
responsibility off of the tlovernor. Again, we
might reduce the number of courts to two?of
two weeks each per year, in each County?early
and late, so as not to hinder the farmers (the bone
and sinew of tho country) from their farm work,
and that would save lots of money and time.
Again. Wo might put our Leg Motors' salary
to two hundred dollars each, per session of forty
days, and but one of theso sessions every
two years, and that would save lots of money
and lots of precious time and keep a heap of
sorry acts from becoming laws (?) and give us
common people more time to learn the laws, and
so lV>rth. And as for County Commissioners and
County School Commissioners and State Superiulcndaiit
of education, let these olliees be abolished,
an 1 lot the work be done like it was before
lladical llceonstructioii, and the money
thus saved would be lots of help in educating
the children. Let the Governor's Salary be reduced
to S-'.VM per year, (llatuptou won't
care) and let the Salaries of the Judges and all
the State officers be reduced iu proportion.?
Where's the sense or economy iu giving a big
oilier a bier salary and then uavinc a hbrli sal- !
ary for a private Secretary or Clerk to do the J
work for the big officer'.'
Now, Mr. Witter, in the third r.'.ace and third-'
ly, 1 am not in favor of damning a man perlilerkally
nor eternally because lie at sometime
voted, or dot.e something else, contrary to my
notion of propriety. That rule won't do, because
the whole of us would be wiped out mighty
soon by this rule, and there would be none
lcli to wind up the machine ; but let us tell em
better and gel em to lix things rite ; let us all
go in for every man (loin his duly ; let all capital
be taxed alike: If my money is in lands,
and your money is inTiauk stock" or statc^boTids
or I'nited States Honda, let us both pay taxes
according to the market value of the article.
Mow .Mr. I'.ddittcr, if this ain't summed up
scattering enough for you, perhaps some of the
Legislator Candidates can give the people their
views on the tilings hinted at, so that (lie convention
will know what they are about when
they begin to nominate.
The weather is mighty hot. to be pcslcrd with
such stilt!" as this, and if it pesters yen much,
just heap or heave it over board, and there'll

manufactory lias sold its first manufactured
goods and may uow be regarded us an accunplished
fact. It is a very agreeable fact, and
one of (lie most cheering signs of I lie times in
our State. We now manufacture witli nativeborn
bands the bagging our nlauters need for
their cotton, and besides, the coast lands have
an incitement to the cultivation of a new and
' valuaole agricultural product, well adapted 10
tlfeir soil and climate. 'This is evidently a step
' out the direct road out of the wilderness of pov- '
erty and depression, and the Charleston factors
who have built up this new enterprise deservo
great praise.
Now that the exorbitant interest on the loan
of money cannot be safely obtained, * we can
hope that our rich men will devwte some portion
of their money to building up the manufacturing
interests of the Slate and cease to conline
themselves, wholly, to the dull and selfish
business of buying as cheap as they can at the
North, and selling as high us they can at the
Souili. It has been demonstrated that cotton
manufactories pay extremely well in South Carolina.
Ilovv long is the number to remain but
two or three '!?Durlinylon Xcw.r.
We know moneyed men who were great
sticklers for low interest for money, from whom
the farmers cannot now borrow a dollar, at the
l>-j I rate of interest, but tlicy have invGflcd
their lummy in Phosphate stuck, Bagging mnnufactories
and perhaps other enterprises, from
which they expect to secure from 1"> to -0 per
cent. '
It is no use talking, capitalists will put their
money where it will bring them the largest j cr
cent. If the law will not allow them enough
interest on loans, they will hunt up some other
means of making theirmoney pay. No country
on this globe has more or finer opportunities for
profitable investments in manufactories, ami
new enterprises of almost every kind, than the
South and money invested in them, instead, of
being locked up in notes at lit) or 2"? percent,
interest, or in liens which give the merchants
from C>0 to 100 per cent, profit on goods, will
give employment to thousands uud circulate
among those who spend it at home.

the Republican party and has done
it by conniving at outrages which his deputies
have committed on peaceful citizens under the
guise of enforcing tlie revenue laws. His mtilnllu
deputy, Hugh Cane, now in jail for mur-.
