Tho rinderpest has destroyed $17,865,000 worth of cattle in England. Ex-President PIERCE has boon ill again, but is understood to bo recovering. Ho is sixty-threo years old. - - The Canadian Parliament House had a narrow os cap?) from destruction by firo on Tuesday ovon ing, hot ashes^-having boon carelessly left in a wooden box in one of thc. committee rooms. A weekly journal of a* iii ty and influence is print? ed, published and circulated in Hungary, and it is not known who is connected with it in any way, notwithstanding the efforts of i he Austrian officers to discover the secret. Four hundred colored voters have been regis? tered in Georgetown, D. C., nearly as many as there are of white voters. A negro has been nomi? nated for Councilman in that city. In compliance with orders from a "trade union," a hundred carpenters employed by a firm in Sun? derland, England, struck because ?heir employers . would not give them their beer at 3 o'clock instead of after their'day's work was done. The Washington correspondent of the Spring? field (Mass.) Republican, reputed as accurate in hij observations and statements, estimates the chances of impeachment as being one in a hun c'red, and of conviction as one in a thousand. The Quebec News atateB that the Fire Relief Coi ami Lt ee has reached the climax of its audacity in deciding, in total disregard of every principle of honesty and straightforwardness, to set apart $200,000 out of the fund for the purpose of aiding proprietors in rebuilding the burnt district. Our young friends-and old ones too-who aro anxious to learn how many weddings a married couple may lawfully have, will be pleased to know . that one year after marriage comes tho paper wed? ding; five years ofter marriage, the wooden wed? ding; ten years, the tin wedding; twenty-five years, the silver wedding; fifty years, the golden wed? ding; seventy-five years, the diamond wedding. Tho movement in favor of diocesan synods in England is very slowly but steadily gaining head? way. Dr. FRASER and others ore discussing, in the papers, the legal constituents of such synods, and the rural deaneries in their meetings are, one after another, pronouncing in favor of them, either in response to questions from the bishops, or of their own free motion. Another important step toward securing a per? manent telegraphic communication between America and the Old "World has been taken by the completion of the American portion of the Rueso-American Telegraph. The Behring's - Straits have been surveyed to find a suitable place for a. submarine cable. It is expected that the Russian portion will be ready nest a-ituum. . A Washington letter says letters have beenro * oeived in that city by responsible parties from New York stating that a fund had been raised there to push on the impeachment project before - the introduction of ASHLEY'S resolutions. The sum named is $50,000. One person alone is represented as having subscribed $5000. The in? tention was purely a speculative one. A notice of a race in the Baton Rouge Advocate has the following regulations appended: "Tho judges will settle no squabbles between pri? vate parties. The fastest horse will win tho race. Colored people will be removed from the track if they do not behave like white people. No fighting allowed until after the race, and then not within six hundred yards of the track. No liquor to bo brought' on the. ground, outside of the person . carrying it." The sixth annual meeting of the Universal Israelitish Alliance took place at Paris on the 29th of December, under the presidency of M. CRE :'1KDIOX. The meeting was very largely attend? ed. Among those present was also the Haham of the Spanish and Portuguese congregation of Lou? don, the Re v. Professor ARTOM. From the report read, it appears that the AIL"ance is prosperous, numbering over five thousand members, residing in all quarters of the globe. Tho President, as in former years, delivered an eloquent speech. The Tribune hos the following summary of young BENNETT' hobnobliug with royalty: "JAKES and ALFRED, were two good boys, who had little ahips, and JAMES'S ship sailed over the pond. ALFRED was so glad that he asked JAMES to dinner, and they had gingerbread. So JAMES offered to give ALFRED his little ship, as a proof that all JAMES' countrymen were so glad ALFRED 'had given him sacha nice dinner. But ALFRED ', wouldn't, take the little ship because it was too good fir him, and so both boys were glad, and hoped their fan?tios would never quarrel." : BROWKLOW'S Militia Bill has passed the State Senate by a vote of thirty to twenty-three. The Nashville Union and Dispatch says of its passage in that body: "During the debate, a Radical mem? ber disclosed thcs-objecl of tho measure in one brief and brutal sentence. He said 'there had not - 'been'blood enough shed.* With legislators who vote under the stimulus of such passions, argu? ment iis fruitless, and comment upon the proceed? ing unnecessary. Should it become the law, tho history of its execution will bo a disgrace to thc civilization of the age, and will tarnish tales of horror at which humanity will weep." The New York Tribune says : "Alabama has just ' token a State census, and reports a total popula tionof 945,244, whereof 442,445 aro blacks. In 1880 she had 964,296, of whom 435,132 were slaves. It is evident that her black inhabitants ore just about as numero us as in I860, while her whites are but 20,000 fewer. We infer from this that the South- i ern States have generally nearly if not quito as many inhabitants now as in 1860, and will have more in 1870. The stories that the blacks are i "dying cut" seem to be utterly baseless. A good ; many of them have migrated north'rod or been ; taken tc Texas; but they will number at least four i " milhon in 1870." j A Memphis paper says: "Colored aristocracy : seems to be coming to grief. Lost wook 'George Washington' was convicted in Richmond for steal- : ing o lot of old. iron, and 'James K. Polk' for a i Bindiar freedom with other people's property. 'Horace Greeley* was found guilty of murder, in I Charleston, on Monday, and will soon expiate a i life of rascality on the gallows. In New Orleans 'Andrew Jackson' was in limbo for robbing a hon roost.. We advise tho colored gentry to select, hereafter, such names as BEN. BUTLER, THAD. STEVENS, CHAS. SUMNER, JAMES ASHLEY, etc.-they i may prove more lucky in their efforts upon char- : acter." ^The cypress of Somma, in Lombardy, Italy, is per- ? haps the oldest tree on record. It was known to be i in existence in the time of JULIUS C?ESAR, forty-two years before CHRIST, and is therefore more th au < 1900 years old. It ia 105 feet high and 20 in cir- i cumference at one foot from the ground. NAPO? LEON, when laying down the plan for his great ! road Qfer the Simpl?n, a portion of the Alps, di- I verged from a straight line to avoid injuring this 1 tree. Tho honor of superior antiquity, however, is 1 claimed by some in behalf of the immense and val- i nable tree in Calaveras county, California, which is i supposed, from the number of concentric circles in i the trunk, to be 2265 years old. : A "Washington letter to tho Baltimore Gazetie t says CHAR. O'CONOR and J. G. SHEA, Esqs., coun- ( eel for Mr. DAVIS, oro ia tho city. Mr. HORACE t GREELEY is also hoi e. It is further known that ? Mr. GREELEY had au interview with the President ? yesterday, and interviews with Mr. DAVIS" coun*cl i this moruing. From these facts the quid nuncs a have conjectured that the Stato prisoner at Fort- t ress Monroe is about either to be released on par- f ole or boil, or that his case is on tho eve of bein* a disposed of in some way; and it must be confessed t that the facts warrant a fair inference that thia r. long delayed act of sheer justice is at last about t to be performed. c The Philadelphia Age, of Tuesday, says : "About i once in three mouths som o of our colored citizens, t instigated by men of the Saxon race, become ob- a etreperous in rei ero ace to the rules adopted by thc c cor lines prohibiting their riding inside the cars, ( and they insist on riding in the ears in spite of all a opposition. Last evening this interesting per- e formalice was again enacted on a car of the Filth i and Sixth streets line, at Fifth and Pine streets, t Three colored men got on the car and took seats t inside. Upon being informed by the conductor ^ that they were not allowed there, they insisted that i they would stay. The car was consequently takeu i off the track and put on a snow bank. Tho colored c men sat quite composedly inside the car, nnd c When we left they expressed a determination to e stay all night. Probably this is a new way of ob- t faining lodgings for nothing." a LARGEST CIRCULATION.-The DAILY NEWS publishes the Official List of Let? ters remaining in the Postoffiee at the end of each week, agreeably to the following section of the New Pi ito?cc Law, as the newspaper having the . trgest circulation in thc City of Charleston SECTION 5.

SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2,1867. "THE SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY. At a special meeting of tho Board of Trustees of tho University of South Carolina, on tho 23d ult., wo learn the Hon. J. A. INGLIS was chosen Professor of Law, andDrs. JULIAN J. CHISOLM and J. F. DABBY Professors in thc Medical School. Tho Medical Faculty will consisfof Drs. CHISOLM, DAULBY, JOSEPH LECoNTE'and LABOBDE. with a Demonstrator of Anatomy yet to be appointed. Since the opening of the University last January one hundred students have matriculated. The Law School is very weih and Chancellor IN? GLIS a most excellent choice; for he is learned in the law, and will mako an eloquent lecturer and a successful teacher. As regards tho Medical School, we of course can? not object to the gontlemon appointed Professors. Drs. LABOBDE and LECONTE are old Professors of the quandam South Carolina College, of long ac? knowledged ability. Dr. J. F. DARBY was au in? structor of medicino in one of the Philadelphia schools before tho war, Medical Director on Gen. HOOD'S Staff in the Confederate army, and, we be- j lievo, has boen practicing his profession in Paris j since the close of the war. Dr. DABBY is a man of fine address, cf superior professional attainments, and calculated to make a most popular and suc? cessful teacher. Of Dr. J. J. CHISOLM wo need say nothing, SB he is well known in this community, having for a number of years boen Professor of Surgery in our Medical College, of which institution he now is tho Dean. But why have a Medical School in the University? Thoro is certainly no need for it. There is in this city a Medical College of over forty years' stand? ing, one of the best schools in the land, that has sent forth its ahmed by thousands. Why cannot this institution continuo to supply the means of a inodioal educat ion to the young men of this and adjoining States, who may wish to devote them? selves to this pi ofossion ? Certainly tho facilities are far superior hi our seaport city, where wo have suitablo hospitals, a most ampio faculty, an excel? lent Medical Library, and opportunities for clini? cal instruction. We cannot, tbovafore, see the wisdom pf establishing a rival institution in Co? lumbia, which can never prosper, though it may, perhaps, draw a few Btudonts from our College in this mkf. Wo are not without hopo, however, that this project may yet be abandoned. AS OTHERS SEE US. For nearly a century the friends of free institu? tions everywhere have been pointing with pride to the United States of America for a splendid realization of the great problem of a puro democracy. We furnished Republicans all over the world, with a standing first-class illustration in the science of government. And so complete bad been our success, that the mere statement of the fact carried conviction to every mind. Foreign statesmen were woat to make the tour of the Uni? ted States, to see for themselves the actual work? ing of our Utopian institutions. VON RAUMEB, DE TOQOEVILLE, and others, philosophical thinkers, and public men of distinction, Bpent yoars here for this purpose, and wont away gratified. They have left a record of their impressions, stating their J conviction, that OUTB was a model government pre? nded tho Constitution v.-as properly rospected, and its provisions duly executed. They possessed suffi? cient sagacity to sea that this could only be done, if tho pecplo retained that modicum of virtue they were thought to possess at the time the govern? ment was framed. Every public writer, free from bias, made the same observation, viz : _that upon this depended thu success or failure of the groat problem'of democracy. So invulnerable were we considered in our govern? ment, that foreign authors, who visited us from time to time, and wore manifestly prejudiced against ns,-contented themselves with ridiculing our manners; decrying our literature; bolit?ing our great mon; laughing at onr hyperbolical eloquence, and patting ou a general patronizing air. But these sallies and slanders of HALL, MABYATT, DICKENS, Mrs. TROLLOPE, HABBIET MABTINEATJ, and the rest of them, could not injure us; and, knowing thom to be in a great measure unjust, tho American people became more and more indifferont to European criticism. The opponents of popular institutions hail our present political imbroglio with great delight. They now at last seo a fulfihnont of their live-long prophecies. Tho Constitution so much vaunted is being deliberately set aside. Irresponsible pow? er rules tho day, caring nothing for the rights of tho minority. But nothing has awakened such wide-spread interest, such a univorsal dread, we may say, os tho proposed impeachment of the President. And well may the world be aghast at this gigantic political iniquity. United States bonis and securities, "five-twenties," eto., are largely held'in Europe; and thoso old financiers in Frankfort, Paris, London and Vienna, know from long experience that impeachment means revolu? tion, civil war, and universal bankruptcy. Hence their anxiety. The causes that led to our war wore also but lit? tle understood by the generality of European writers; and this was doubtless due to a general belief that tho great questions that agitated this country, and divided political parties, were of a purely local choractor,-more petty squabbling; md bofore they were aware of the oxistenco of any real grievance or difficulty, they beard the dis? tant cannon's echoing roar. Tho war, from begin? ning to ond, was a puzzle to thom. There can Qow bo little doubt that France, and perhaps Eng? land, also, would have recognized thc late Confed? erate States, had they beon cognizant of the brue position of affairs. The magnitude of the struggle, however, excited universal attention, and the events that havo transpired since the war, as ?roll as those now in progress, aro hoing watched with deep interest, in other countries, by men of oven- cast of political opinion. But there aro others concorucd and aJanned at the future beforo us, whose motives are of a loss mercenary character. Thc lover of liberty, the friend of mankind, cannot look on with indifference it the deliberate destruction of tho magnifi? cent temple of American liberty. The London Times, for January 12, has a very able article on this subject, of which the following ia tho coa ?hiding paragraph: 'The Sonate and the House of Representatives ire now united in opposition to tho President; but they represent different principles, which may iiereaftcr como into collision. The Senate has iitherto been tho more powerful body, both in itself and in popular estimation. This was inevi ;able so long as the Central Government was tself weak, as tho Senate is the Representative md guardian of separate State rights. But the fu? ??n of the North into ono community which was ?ffeeted in the face of common dangers, in itrengthening the Government at Washington LS a whole, has strengthened the House of Repre lent ttivos to an especial degree.*Its character is nore distinctly national, and it necessarily repre tents, with greater fidelity than the Senate, the fluc uatious of popular opinion. It ia not difficult to oreeeo which way tho victory must incline should . struggle heroaftcr arise between the two sec ions of Congress. It would eeem that the latural consequence of the chango through which 'ie Union is passing is an increase of the power if tho more popular body of the Legislature until t becomes supreme. This result may or may not ?o in itself desirable, but it would bo a mistake to .rguo that it must be so from the analogy of our iwn Constitution. Tlie electoral machino of the Jnion differs so much from our own that it is carcory possible tho House of Repreiontatives can vor fill the placo of the House of Commons, and t is plain that tho lihscnco of the Federal Minis- j era from thc House of Representatives is in itself he cause of a radical difference between the two. Ve need not, however, dwell upon tho future ; it s sufficient to note the phase through which the -icrican Constitution appears to be passing, tho ? langer that tho artificial balanco of powers, the hecks upon impulsive legislation, the indepond mcc of tba Executive Government contemplated 1 >y tho founders of tho Republic will all bo swept . ?way, ' WANTS.
