The news by Atlantic Telegraph is again briof, owing to a break in tho lines east of Sackville, N. B. At Waterford, R. I., rJl thc -woollen mills, com? prising some forty-six acts of machinery, a~e run? ning half time, shutting their gates at 1 in the afternoon. Capt. JUDKINS, of tho Scotia, reports wost winds and favorable weataor on tho passage to Liverpool. Ho estimates Hie ran of thc New York yachts at sixteen days. Petitions aro being circulated in all tho counties of Illinois, asking tho Legislature of tho Siato to prepare an amendment io the State Constitution, to ho submitted to tho pooplo, establishing impar? tial suffrage Lato advices from Mexico bring the intelligence that thc French had soizod thc Custom House at Vera Cruz, and carried off $200.000 of thc Impe? rial' treasure. The French steamer Eugenie had left with $GO,000, of which 010,000 belonged to the French Government, and $20,000 to tho citizens. One thousand French troops had left for France. A very destructivo conflagration occurred at El? mira, N. Y., on Saturday evening. Twenty-four stores wore destroyed, involving a loss of more than $300,000, which is insured for only about half that amount. Porno of tho Hartford offices sustain Lases, but tho most of the insurance is in State institutions. Tho Troy Whig states that the measles has been raging in that city to an unprecedented ex? tent for several weeks past, but tho disease is now ' somewhat abating. One physician has been called in over three hundred cases, but has had the good fortune to lose only one or two patients. There have been nearly on? thousand cases in Troy within a month. On Friday evening last, as the train from Rich? mond reached Petersburg, a small boy jumpod from the truck undor a car, covered with frozen mud from head to foot. An inquiry revealed that he had slipped under the car when it started from Richmond, and gottiug upon the rod to which the brakos are attachod had placed his arms through the truck, and in this position rode the whole dis? tance. A petition is being circulated in Western North Carolina, to bo presented to Congress, praying thai* the loyal citizens of that section may be em? powered to. form a new State, the votes of such Dexson's otdy being oounted in forming the new ~8tate Gov??*mcnti WW* tfetf?ng members cf Cbn S&ezf1- cJX thia he imnracticable. thev ask that tbs wnole Stale may be reorganized on a: loyal Dasia. An Act has boon passed by tho Georgia Legisla? ture, and signed by the Governor, providing that all property of the wile at tho time of her marriage, whether real or personal, or choses in action, shall be and remain her separate property; and that all property given to, inherited or acquired by tho wife during coverturo, shah vest in and bolong to her, and shall not be hable for the payment of any debt, default or contract of the husband. On Saturday morning a<3 tho Eastern train on tho Shore Line from Providence, R. I., was about a mile from that city, the engineer discovered the body of a man lying between the rails. Owing to the icy state of tho track the train ran about a mile before it could he stopped, when it was backed down, and it was found that the man was unin? jured. He was dead drank, and the whole train gassed over him without waking him from his stu? por"? Th? Postoffic? at Elizabeth, N. J-, was robbed of nearly all the letters on Sunday mornirjg, b*?0re daylight. Several checks and notes were found, besides tools of various descriptions, in the rear of St. John's Church. The office was lighted with gas during the night, and a police officer was fre? quently passing and repasting until 4 o'clock A. M. This is the second time within a month the office has been broken open. French official statistics state that during the six months terminating in May last, six thousand seven hundred and fifty-five communes in France were provided with adult schools. These afford? ed education io one hundred and seventy-three thousand two hundred and fifty-six men and thir? teen thousand five hundred and thirty-seven women and girls. The average payment was one franc and eighty centimes monthly. In two thou? sand seven hundred and seventy-five schools the teaching was gratuitous. A murderous affair occurred in Nashville on Christmas evening, between a party of tho 34th cavalry and a party of policemen. The former were cheering for LINCOLN and the Union, when tho latter came up with an answering cheer for JEFF. DAVIS. A disturbance followed, in which EDWARD CBE'GS, a soldier, was shot, and died in a few moments. Sergeant H. BISHLEY also received a serious wound in the head. Great excitement exists over the affair, and the soldiers are making threats of vengeance. i Tho Richmond papers state that the late order issued by Major-General J. M. SCHOFIELD, direct? ing the Freedmen's Bureau officers throughout the State of Virginia to take immediate possession of all horses and mules which belonged to the United States, found in the possession of private citizens, has been revoked. The order revoking it annuls any action which may have already taken place, and requires thar all animals taken by General SCHOFIELD'S agents shall bo restored to the parties who held them in possession. The Philadelphia Enening Bulletin, (radical) in? sists that "the most onerous and odious of all taxes, the income tax, should be removed. At the time it was imposod it was the general under? standing that it was essentially temporary, and a year or two would see its end. Its heavy amount, made in a single payment, its inquisitorial nature, and the publicity given to private affairs, all unite to malte it an especial subject of dislike. It should be the first repealed, and as many others as possi? ble should follow after." The London correspondent of Saunders' Newslet? ter says: "Tho betrothal is just declared of perhaps our vory wealthiest marriageable lady (for Miss BURDETT COUTTS I look upon as already wedded to her good works). In the marriage of Earl BEAU? COUP? with Miss DUNDAS CHMSTOPHEB HAHUI^-TON NiSRETTjOacVpa&?nymio is understood to imply afortune. Lord BEUJCK.YSIP succeeded last year, by tho death of hi? brother; tb forty thousand a year. But his bride will ultimately succeed to an income of moro (han? Bixty thousand a year, to say nothing of an immense and increasing amount of eady money.'* J83- Ad communications intended for publication in this journal must be addressed to the Editor of the Daily News, No. 18 Ilayne-shrecL, Charleston, S.

SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2U, 1SGG. j TUE COMMERCE OE ~C?A~RLESTON~. j A look along the wharves gives an observer the opinion that thc commerce of this place is gradually, but surely, advancing to a prosper? ous future. The quays, which have been placed in better order than had ever before characterized them, have presented in the number of vessels moored there a lively and animated appearance. Some of the ships are large carriers, and will take cargoes of 3000 to 4000 bales of cotton each. Thc number of steamers engaged in the commerce of the port are greater than at any former period, and are being placed on every route giving thcloast pro? mise of support. It is true that our agricultural resul's for the present season do not give them very flattering propects of employment, but, with the determination which most persons ex? hibit to lend their efforts to thc development of thc land, it ?B to be hoped that th'.- ntrt year will place this feature in a more Haltering light. . VOX POP ULI. Governments, like so many other human in-j stitutions, roll in cycl s. Thc earliest form of government in air _-t every people of whom we have any record, whether historical or only ? legendary, is either patriarchal or theocratic. In neither case is there any recognition of J the voice of the people ns an authority. The average of mankind were clearly not. consider? ed competent to have a voice in public affairs. In thc course of lime, when the original family attains to the proportions and dignity of a nation, the patriarchal insensibly assumes the form of the monarchical government ; und, as constitutions and other checks, known at the present day, were then unheard of, a monarchy was synonymous with our modern autocracy or despotism. This naturally, in thc course of human infirmity, would, in every instance, soon degenerate to tyranny and oppression, and rouse opposition. Ancient history, both sacred and profane, is hence found full of plots and conspiracies. Dynasties were of brief dura? tion, and the assassins knife usually the in? strument effecting such changes. After repeat? ed trials, when a people had at last found that King Stork was worse than King Log, there would he a general revolution, an2. an oligarchy, or perhaps a republic, the result; all such changes, however, only effected after long and bloody internecine wars. A peaceable change of dynasty 8r 9f government is rarely found on me annnisr The philosophers of all ages have revelled in a beau ideal of popular government. A model republic was the dream of PLATO, and of every sage since his day. But alas for the imperfec? tion of our species. The fabric so beautifully conceived by the glimmer of the midnight lamp but seldom is found to have sufficient vigor to endure the brilliant glare of the noonday sun. The Republic of the study is a perfect p^ce of mechanism ; and is not found to "^0rK- in "prac? tical life, only because the, philosopher assum ed as postulates what cannot be conceded, viz.: ! the" moral perfection of ?very citizen. No due allowance is made f or human infirmities. And precisely here 'is the rock on which the theory I of vox pttpuli vox dei splits. History almost '.^variably narrates that, after a people have ? tried a republican form of government for a number of years, they again seek relief in the monarchy. This is the experience of both ancient and modern history. There perhaps never was any country where the voxpopvli was as supreme as it is to-day in the United States of America. Universal Suff? rage, as the term is here understood, was never anywhere the indiscriminate privilege of the masses. That all .men are born free and equal is a discovery not made till the latter part of the eighteenth century. Every man is as good ! as every other man,-as well qualified to be ! stow office, or to hold office. This is the theory ! of our government, but inasmuch as SOLONs, I SOLOMONS, PLATOS, MORES and BACONS are I not of more frequent occurrence hero than elsewhere, the vox popuU in the United States is exercised very much as it was in Athens, in Paris, and in many other places where it has been tried and found wanting. The voice of the people in our Northern States, we are told, is the expression of the in? telligence of the nation. What are the facts? In the first place, is this population really in? telligent, as is claimed, and properly educated j to an understanding of the privilege of the I franchise, and a sense of the accompanying re- ! sponsibility ? This is not an easy question to answer. If we may judge from their expo? nents of public opinion, the press, the pulpit, the forum, the village school and district library, we should unhesitatingly say NO. But to least advantage do we see these same sovereign electors at the hustings. A general election anywhere in any State, North or West, is equivalent to a general riot, a general up? heaval of society. For months previous the demagogue goes from place to place, harangu? ing the independent voters. The speaker may perchance bo well and correctly informed in regard to the state of the country and its wants, If so, he will take the greater care to conceal the truth from his hearers. In very many in? stances, however, the demagogue is as ignorant, intolerant, bigbtted and narrow-minded as the people he addresses, in which case he can talk the more glibly, and his words must carry sure conviction to the minds of his intelligent (?) auditors. _ Take, for instance, the late elections for mem? bers to tie Fortieth Congress. Our readers., have a general idea of Borne of the- means to which the Radical party resorted to compasa ita ends. They saw the leading New York journals,from time to time. But these, it must be remembered, ara the most respectable of the tribe. They are so universally read that they 1 j cannot, in common decency, take such liberties ; with truth as ie done every day hy the host of J provincial journals. Tho Radical sheets of I Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit, are habitually unscrupulous, and lull of tho bitterest invec? tive. The press of the smaller towns in the interior is still worse. They can fearlessly sr.;/ what they list, strong in the consciousness of not being read outside of their "town." V?'e must not forget D. D. FORKS:*', and his "two dailies" in Vfushington and Philadelphia, in the calendar of infamy they merit, a very con? spicuous place. I3 it asked why we dwell so long on thiB subject? Because thc press, more than all other instrumentalities, manufactures public opinion; and it is fair to infer thc character of this voxpopuli, when wc arc thu; enabled to scrutinize thc teachers. No phraseis more common of late with North ern politicians than that of "the verdict of tin people." Does any one ever ask how it wai obtained? No, and for good reasons. Th? National Republican, in a recent leader on thi; subject, enumerates the slanders that wen made to pass aB current coin during the can vass,-by means of which this ." verdict" wa secured. They studiously taught thc people i believe that thc President was endeavoring t obtain despotic sway, and that, on the assein bling of Congress, he would secure to the South ern States representation with tho aid c Federal bayonets; that JOHNSON would resis Congress and revive thc rebellion ; that he ve fused to have JEFF. DAV;s tried for treasor whereas now it is found that Judge C?A'&B i responsible for this tergiversation and delaj They told their constituents that JOUNSO was turning all the Republicans out of office and putting in Copperheads; that he was party to the assassination of LINCOLN ; that h was a drunkard, and a man of dissolute habits that he and Mr. SEWARD were screening Jon H. SrjRRATT from justice, when, at that vcr time, thc agents of thc Government were tal ing thc necessary measures for his arrest. They employed BROWNLOW, HAMILTON, RA? DOLPH, and others, black and white, wh travelled through the length and breadth 1 the North and Vf est, known as "Thc Souther Loyalist Troupe." These men were spcciall hired to tell tho most flagrant stories about ti South, and inflame the popular mind again the President. They charged JOHNSON with having instiga cd the New Orleans riot, when now it is fouii? by the official pspers, that Mr. STANTON, tl only Radical in thc Cabinet-neither nnswcr< Gen. BAIRD'S dispatch of thc 28th of July, r ccived two days before tho riot, asking fi " instructions at once by telegraph," nor pc mitted thc President to see it, that he mig answer it, and thereby have prevented t! riot, and that Mr. STANTON, therefore, shou be held responsible for the rict and bioodsh? in New Orleans in July last. They told the yco-ol^, in U?fd circulars, th ! A?BH?? JonHcnm -stm? riujiaecd in a plot to cl I stroy the majority of the Republican memb? I of Congress ly railroad accidents or poiso They told the people that he was in leag with the Pope, and Waa preparing to establi him permanently in this country. Thej u the people ?hat ANDREW J?HNB?H waa a usui er ; taat be had committed high crimes a Misdemeanors, and on thc first day of the p sent session articles of impeachment agai: him would be introduced into the House. They now forget all these, not to say i warrantable and undignified, but infamou wicked and utterly false assertions, says 1 Republican. Such has been the stock in tr; with which the public mind has been filled the Radical press and orators during the wh of the last canvass until many of the good p pie come to think that the Chief Executive the nation sits in tho White House upoT throne, and has cloven feet and horns upon head-a complete devil. The people will not forget these charges, was through them that a terrible prejudice ^ wrought up against the President, until we h what is now called " the verdict of the people. "SENATOR "ROBERTS, of Texas, paints a horr picture of affaira in that State. He says t Iwonty-seven hundred freedmen have been n dered within a year, and the persecution of unfortunate blacks is so fearful that they aro pi ing for a restoration of slavery as a protect against the murderous hate of the reconstruc whitd rob?is." This sensation dispatch we clip from Detroit Post, one of the most malignant she published in the country. Nothing relatinj the. South is too black for its columns. 1 same copy of the Post has an editorial abu: of THAD. STEVENS' North Carolina Bill, obj ing to it on the ground of restricting nc suffrage to such aB can read and write, or 1 $200 worth of real estate, while he allows lt numbers of whites to vote who, the Post int on saying, are disloyal a? heart. What thc they take the most stringent oath, it is enough.
