Mr. BALDWIN, of Massachusetts, is the largest man in Congress. Crime is increasing fast in Illinois. The peni? tentiary has 1100 convicts, or 80 per cont, more than two years ago. The rece.'pts from Internal Revenue on Saturday wero $565,9S6.18, mat "ig the total amount received during the week $3,400,776.35. JOHN MOBRISSBY. has bought an interest in a Troy newspaper. JOHN will Bpeedily "como down to white chips," as Beau HICKMAN would soy, if ne goes very deeply into the newspaper business. Mr. HKTRT 8. ALLEN has become a partner with Mr. GEOBGE W. CARLETON. The firm is now known AS G. W. CARLETON & Co., and continuos the book publishing business at its new store, No. 499 Broadway, New York. The country of Europe in which the greatest number of marriages takes place is Saxony, where the average is 1 yearly to every 117 inhabitants. The proportion in Spain is 1 in 126. In Franco the rate is 1 in 127. A communication from Saxony states that the cost of the war to that kingdom will amount to eighty millions and a half of francs, without reck? oning the enormous losses suffered by trade and commerce. Prof. HENRY W. LONGFELLOW, Dr. SAMUEL G. HOWE, Mr. EDWARD QUINCY, Prof. OLIVER WEN? DELL HOLMES, JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, JAMES T. FIELDS, EDWIN P. WHIPPLE, and Mr. MEFRTTT TRIMBLE, of New York, acted as pall-bearers at the funeral of N. P. WILLIS, in Boston, last Thursday. A new paper mill, capable of turning out four to six tons daily, is about to be started at Black Rock, near Buffalo. A new process of manufacturing called the "Meeoh process," whereby paper is made from grasses, is to be introduced. It is claimed that good printing paper can be made for four cents a pound. Mrs. MARGARET HAWLEY, who keeps a small newspaper stand inside the Fulton Ferry, Now York, makes a net gain of from $125 to $300 per week. In one day sixty dollars are often cleared. She has thus been able to educate her childron handsomely, and to lay by more than forty thou? sand dollars. An officer in the army in the Indian country, sends a letter to a friend in Lookport, which con? tains the following cheerful passage : "I would send you a lock of my hair, but I fear it would bc a fraud upon the savages of this vicinity. There is a fair prospect that one of these noble red mon win be my barber before Spring." For the week ending the 26th instant, National Bank currency to the amount of $104,275 was is? sued by the acting Comptroller. The total circu? lation iBBued up to date is $300,907,896; actual cir? culation $298,748,964, for which securities aro held as follows: For circulation, $340,514,000, and for deposits, $38,761,450. Total securities held, $379, 275,450. Mr. LEONARD W. JEROME, the fashionable stock broker, is the social lion of New York. Every day almost he deb'g?rra that excitable community with ?ome novel sensation. He has just started a sleigh, called the Monitor, which ie described as little else than a beautiful boat on runners, wit!, erect prow and graceful stern, miniature guns pro? jecting on either side,' both an ornament and de? fence. The crew consists of twenty ladies. The National Republican says: "We are author? ized to announce that the President will hold his second public levee this season on Thursday eve? ning, the 7th of February, and the third on Friday evening, February 22-to commence each evening at eight o'clock, and to close at eleven. We are also authorized to announce that the Presidents daughter*, Mrs. PATTERSON and Mrs. STOVES, will be at home on Monday afternoons." A Bev. Mr. GILBERT HAVEN, in this week's Inde? pendent, has discovered a pian to settle at once all our political and social differences. The substance -of it all is that "the nation must cease to use the words' freedmen/ and'colored,'and 'white,'and know only that of men and brethren." Why can? not CoDgreBS declare by resolution that there are no black men, and that the notion is an optical fflusion? By the will of ELI W. GYNNS, the great "Cattle Sing" of Ohio, recently debased, one son receives a farm of 8300 aires, worth $50 per acre, and ano? ther a *%maU tract" of 2300 acres. By the provi? sions of the will, these large farms cannot be sold daring the lifetime of his sons, and are to be con? stantly stocked with at least $25,000 worth of cattle each. The importations into New York during 1866, ex? clusive of specie, were valued in gold at $297,000, 000. Some of the principal articles were as fol? lows : Dry goods, $126,000,000; ?sugar, $21,581,117; leather, $12,480,556; iron, $5,180,163; lead, $2,485, 840; molasses; $3,616,lc5; earthenware, $2,609,378; steel $2,949,349.' Prussia rewards her public serven ta with no niggardly hand. On Christmas Eve presents voted by tiie Prussian Chambers were paid over to vari? ous generals and statesmen Count BISMARCK re? ceived $876,000 and the Prussian War Minister, Gen. VON BOON, Gen. .VON MOLTKE, Gen. VON BrrxKffFiKLD, Gen. VON STEINMETZ and Gen. VOGLE VON FALKENSTEIN received $150,000 each. The debt of tho United States may be set down in round numbers at three thousand minions of dollars. This, if alL in silver dollars, weighing one ounce each, would amount to one hundred and twenty-five thousand tons, and wouli require a trahi of wagons, loaded with a ton each, three hundred und fifty miles in length, to draw it. That skating has become f ashionable exercise ls evident from the following statements as to the materials consumed during the present year in one skate factory at Worcester : two tons of brass, fiOOO gross of screws, 50,000 brass thimblos, 1000 pounds of German silver, nearly B?X tons of rose? wood, and ten tons of steel, worked up by thirty five men and women into 25,000 pair of skates. Great fortunes have not unfrequently been roal ized by the invention of some toy for children which meets the approval of the juvenile critics. The inventor of the common street toy known as the "Return Ball" is said to "have realized $100, 000;" The inventor of the "Walking Doll." which was so fashionable a few years ago, made $75,100 . by bis patent. The dancing "Jim Crow" toy, in? troduced about two years ago, was invented by an invalid boy, and won a fortune. The daily consumption of oysters in Paris amounts to upward of three-quarters of a million, which reach the capital in something like eix thousand basketB, each of which contains a gross, and furnishes altogether on an averago half au Oyster per head of the population. The number of snails-now so favorite and edible with the Pa? risian gourmands ae to have thrown the frog, the national delicacy par excellence, completely into the Bhade-brought daily to the Paris market, is not BO easily ascertained; all one knows ia that from Burgundy and Champagne, the great snail producing districts, upward of one hundred thou? sand are dispatched to Paris every day. A dispatch from Chicago, January 22d, says: *Tt is satisfactorily afccertained to-day that the Opera House has been drawn by U. H. CROSBY himself. He held the 80,000 tickets which remain? ed unsold. Tho reports of other parties having drawn it are for the purpose of gaining time, and : o allow the excitement to subside. The result lifts Mr. CBoasr from bankruptcy to a fortune j . of nearly a minion dollars. There has been no i complaint as to the fairness of tho drawing. Tho ' twenty thousaud dollar picturo-tho Yosemite ] Valley-was drawn by Mr. CBOSBY himself." The following description is given of tho com Tnander-in-chiof of tho Argentine army, by tho cor- i respondent of the Tribune: "Brigadier-General < BABTHOLEMBW MITRE, commander-in-chief of tho i Allied forces, and President of the Argentino re- , public, has rare qualities for a commander. Ho J ii deliberate, brave, reserved until approached, i and then cordial, of few words, upright and inde- ! fatigable. He is a lawyer, a poet, an author on i military tactics, a historian and an orator. He is i fond of books, and he has at home a magnificent 1 library. On the cenire table of his study he has i a. largo family Bible, presented to him by the < American Bible Society. For many years he has 1 been the head of his party, having always been at i the head of the Provisional or of the National i anny, since his first premotion." i LARGEST CIRCULATION.-The DAILY NEWS publishes the O?cial List of Let? ters remaining in the Posto?cc at the end of each week, agreeably to the following section of the'New Postn?ce Laic, as thc noiryojier having the largest circulation in he City of Charleston : SECTION fi.

THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY 31,1867. WHAT CONSTITUTES A STATE 1 Wc ?hall not answer tho question in Sir WIL? LIAM JONES' sublime and thrilling linea. They would be out of place at this day and in this coun? try. Wo only propose making some observations, and instituting a few comparisons, suggested by the events passing around us. Boiwe the war wo thought we had somo idea cf what were the neces? sary prerequisites to a Territory becoming a Stale of this Union. Now we must confess our ignorance on all theso points; nay, we do not even know tho numbor of States that at present comprise this Union, whether twenty-six, thirty-six, or thirty eight. If tbs '-Districts" lately known as the "R?? bel" Statos are counted there are thirty-six, we be? hove, in all; and if Nebraska and Colorado aro made States, in spite of themselves, and over the Presidcufs-veto, we shall have thirty-eight. And if so, tho President's prediction, contained in his rccont veto mossago, will doubtless be fulfilled, and we Bhall soon hear of the StatOB of Idaho, Novada, Dacotah, Washington, Arizona, etc., otc, for the "consent of tho governod" appears to be no longer a consideration with om law-makors at Washington. Given tho merest Radical foothold in a State or Territory, the faintest hope of oloct ing two Radical Senators and a ditto Representa? tive, and the Territory at once becomes a State, whether a majority of the population of said Ter? ritory desire it or not. If the "nation" must have Territories, why let the "Statos lately in rebellion" occupy that position, at least until they aro con? verted from thc error of their ways, and shall have entirely abjured their late and present political horesy. But let us see how this process of regeneration is brought about, and how it works, after it ts fairly in operation. Fortunately wo are not with? out an example. The State of Tennessee affords a most lamentable illustration. We all remember her history during the war. There, alone of all the States of om- late Confederacy, tho rovolution assumed the form of a civil war. The population of East Tennessee was hostile to the Southern cause, and the bittereet feelings, in many cases the moBt malignant hatred, were engendered be? tween former friends and neighbors. With tho end of the war, thero was, unfortunately, not an end to strife. Thero is to-day no safety in East Ten? nessee for an ex-Confederato. He baa not tho shadow of a chance to obtain justice at the cou:-ts of the country. This assertion is based upon the testimony of an impartial witness. A few weeks ago we republished in THE NEWS along letter from the Knoxville correspondence of the N. Y. Times, giving the fullest particulars of the condition of affairs in East Tennessee. We deeply regret that this should be-tho case, but cannot be surprised at it. With BBOWNLOW for Governor, one of thc most violent, malignant and unscrupulous political fanatics the world has ever known,-four-fifths of the people disfran? chised, and Radical emissaries continually at work co kocp up and foment this strife, and Radical sub? sidies sent there to defray the expenses of such agitation,-the result cannot be otherwise. Yet Tennessee is held up to us by our Northern breth en as tho model of Southern Republicanism, the pattern wo must all follow. How tho Constitutional Amendment was passed last summer by the Legislature of Tennessee, our readers all doubtless remember. "Brigadier-Gea oral" BBOWNLOW is quite competent, and certainly not too squeamish, to pick him a Legislature, of the "right sort," and enforce the presence of ol> streperous members, in order to have a quorum. The Radical loaders need but tell him what is wanted at any time, and he will find tho ways and means to accomplish it. BBOWNLOW will be a for? midable rival to B. F. BUTLBB at the next Presi? dential election. It was ti?s samo Legislature that voted and recently preeentoda medal to Gen. THOMAS for his gallant defence of Nashville. The newspapers tell us that tho day it was presented was observed as a groat jubileo in the loyal city of Nashville. By a parity of reporting, ib>is fair to infer that when we shall be a "State"' om* Legislature will vote medals to Gen. GILMORE for procuring those fSwamp] Angels' Visits for Charleston,-though they were neither few nor far between,-aad to Gen. SHEE MAN for his gallant d?fonce of our capitol. But we hope thc name of South Carolina will bo blott'd out before that day arrives. We shall prefer to read of South Carolina in her glorious past, and lot the new Radical miscegenatod Legislature havo some other namo for tho reconstructed State. But let ns look a little moro closely into the modus operandi of this political regeneration. 3 ow is it done ? Meetings aro held in out of thc way places, in the dead hours of night-a strict watch kept at the door to admit none but tho in? itiated. Four or five whites and twenty-five or thirty colored freedman composo the assembly. Of thc whites present, not oie, probably, will bo found tc? be to tho manor born. They are stran? ger all-ci?mo hore for the purposes of private gain. Wo deny thom not the rights of citizenship, nor equal rights of any kind; but we must think it preposterous for a few strangers, ignorant of the wants or wishes of our peoplo, and certainly not in sympathy with any part of them, to presume to overthrow the existing government, and to dictate to 300,000 of their fellow-Citizens, tho real peoplo of the State, what their iaws, etc., shall be. Wo know not what is the legal deflnitio ; of a conspi? racy; but, to our unlearned mind, this procedure looks precisely like a plot, or what we understand by the term conspiracy. A petition is drawn up it may be by a colored lawyer, or it may be by a white missionary-thc petition is numerously signed and sent to Washington. Mr. SUMNEB rises in tho Senate, and presents tho petition of nume? rous respectable and highly influential citizens of South Carolina, asking that Congress establish a Republican form of government in that State. He will then pull forth several letters out of his left side coat pocket, which ho has just received from republican friends residing in Charleston, which corroborate every statement eet forth in the peti? tion, etc., etc. Wo should like to know how much money has been sent- here for this political converting pur? pose. ItseemB tobe taken for granted at tho North that Radical votes cannot be had without monty. The following, in regard to Tennessee, is from a recent editorial article in tho New Yuk Evening Post,-ona of tho most modeifitn of Radical papers ; and our reidera will soo fr->m r.h.'s extract that neither our f-iars, suspicions nor usuer tions, are groundless : Tennessee ia far away from us. Or.r peoplo arc not-familiar with all thc details of th'j strudle for political ascendency which has boon going on there. But it is necessary that wo should take a hvely interest in it. Money is needed there, for the support of tho loyal press, which arc rigor? ously and ably conducted; our ablest and moat effective public Speakern should go down there to address the people; Northern journals and docu? ments should be sent down thero to all who will road; in short, it is thc duty, as it ia tho interoat of the Republican party, to mako TonnesBeo dur? ing thia winter, spring and summer, tho intellec? tual battle-ground on which, with voice and pen we may assert and maintain tho ideas which must prevail over tho greatest part of this country be? fore we can have a real peace, and which are there the direct issues in the political canvass. In Ten? nessee we have an opportunity to assert republi? can principles before tho Southern oeople by our ablest speakers and writers. We trust tho ener? gies of thc Republican organization will bo turned ni that direction, and tha. between now and next /Vugust tho State will be as thoroughly canvassed t>y Northern men as any ono of tho Northern Statos ?vas during tho last summer and fall. OUB NOKTHEBN exchanges are filled with most indignant accounts of the conduct of the Demo? crats and "Copperhead?" in Congress, on the oc? casion of thc recent v field day," pending thc dis? mission of the Bill reported by tho Judiciary Com? mittee in thc HoUHO.-requiring attorneys practicing in the United States Courta to take thc teat oath. Ihe Radicals are out of oil conceit with thc Demo? crats for not submitting to their fate with the usual good grace. It is so long since tho minority has shown any fight, that tho dominant party have come to think their right bf dictation must "not be iuostioncd, and they are accordingly shocked nt ihe conduct of the said Dem?crata, who "could not see it," and kept the dictators all night in their ?ats. We are sorry we cannot sympathize in thia natter with our friends of the Northern press.
