?eto VOLUME V.NO. 724 CHARLESTON, S. C., SATURDAY MORNING-, DECEMBER 14, 1867. PRICE FIVE CENTS The ? harleston Daily News for IS6S-I1U portant Announcement. Encouraged by the recent large increase in the circulation of TUE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, the proprietors are happy to announce that, with the opening of the new year, the price of subscription will be reduced to a figure which will at once placo the paper within the reach of every family in the city and throughout the State. On and after the first of January, 18G8, THE DAILY NEWS will be pub? lished at Six DOLLARS A YEAR, payable, in all j cases, in advance. It will then be, without exception, the cheapest first-class journal in the Southern States. There is no good reason why our community should not be furnished with a live daily newspaper at a rate approxi? mating the* of the sprightly penny press of the Northern cities : and tho vevy generous support which has been accorded to us on all sides has hastened a step, long contemplated on our part, towards meeting the popular want, lt is hard? ly necessary to say that thore will be no dimi? nution in the amount or interest of the reading matter in any department of the paper; on the y contrary, it will be our constant effort and our pride to make it, day by day, more full, reliable and entertaining-the spirited compend of the world's news, the mirror of local life, and the mouthpiece of an enlightened and liberal pub? lic opinion. At the solicitation of many of our friends in the country, we shall also, during the first week in January, commence the issue of THE CHARLES? TON TRI-WEEKLY NEWS. The subscription price will be THREE DOLLARS A YEAR, or Two DOLLARS FOR SIX MONTHS, payable always in advance. This reduction tx our rates will, we know, be all the more welcome to the public, inas? much as it comes it a time of unprecedented financial distress, when there are few, indeed, among our people who do not sorely need every dollar that cai' bc saved. We do not permit ourselves to doubt that our enterprise will be rewarded with a steady increase of that popu? lar appreciation and support of which we have hitherto received so liberal a share. THE DAILY NEWS already enjoys a circulation largely exoeeding that of any other journal now published in this or the adjoining States ; and its readers may rest assured that, in the future, no effort will be spared to increase the attractiveness of its columns, and to extend still further the field of its influence and use? fulness.

It was reported that the re? porters are to receive $3.33 per page for debates reported. A petition was received praying the passage of a homestead law.

Most of the delegates from thc East arc themselves, or represent those who are, under seizure. The Western delegates favor twenty-five cents per galion, or tax on stills according to capacity. Tho l?stern delegates were more interested tn changes in tho revenue than in changes in tho law. It was represented that where there were only fifty distilleries before tho tax, there aro now over seven hundred, and i is admitted that all must, in one way or thc other evade the tax or loso money. It is claimed that outside of facilities for feeding stock, the western distillers have an advantage in fre;ght, but that Eastern shrewdness in evading thc :ax ruins the Western distillers.

C., December 10.-Tho South Carolina Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, will hold its next ses? sion in this delightful up-country town. Tho boundaries of an Annual Conference of the Metho? dist Church arc not necessarily determined by po? litical or State lints. They aro organized with a view to convenience for the assemblage of their respective members, when sufficient in number to ensure ample counsel upon the various interests involved. Nor does thu name of a Conference m every case indicato its geographical boundaries. The "South Carolina Conference" embraces seve? ral Counties in North Carolina, and at ono time included nearly half the State of Georgia. Tho Holston Conference hes mostly upon the river of that name, and ?B taibutaries in the States of North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Fora full attendance of members the boundaries of many of cur Conferences should bc contracted. It is sug? gested that tho ,'South Carolina Conference b? re? stricted to that State, and that a new Conference b? organized in North Carolina, with Greensboro' for its Eastern and the Blue Ridge for its Western boundary. From Charleston to this place by rail is over three hundred miles. Your correspondent spent a day on thc way in tho city of Charlotte, N. C., the most flourishing inland city in the State. From Charlotte we passed over the North Caro? lina Railroad to Salisbury, where wo spent the re? mainder of the night pleasantly-some ?it the Boy den and some at the Mansion, both capital hotels. Fifteen miles south of Salisbury is Gold Hill, where the precious metal is taken from tho earth, at a depth of seven hundred feet from the surtace. West of Salisbury, on the western extension, is States ville, where the Presbyterians have a popular and flourishing t?male college; and Newton, where the German Reformed Church have a college lor young men. The railroad to this place was chartered by the legislature in 1849; but not commenced until 1854. It has been constructed at an immense outlay of labor if not funds, judging from the deep cuts, sometimes not li ss than sixty feel, and embank? ments to correspond. There is not a trestle upon the road eighty miles to this place, lt is intended to run it to the Tennessee line, and much ot ihe grading lias beer, completed west of thin. Tho situation of llorganton is rather romantic than beautiful; but the courthouse is a handsome edi? fice, and many private residences exhibit jrroat architectural taste and beauty. The county of which it is thc capital, was named in honor of the celebrated orator and statesman, Edmund Uurko, and was laid oft' in 1777, from Rowan. Tho town was named -n honor or General Daniel Morgan, of revolutionary memory, the hero of the battle of ? the Cowpens. Previous to the war, it was the seat of the Hummer session of the Supreme t'ourt of the State, which now only sits fa Raleigh. A United States garrison of one hundred and fifty men, under command of Colonel Royal, now guards the peace of the place. A Methodist, Presbyte rian, Episcopal and African Church represent th religious faith of tl.o people. This country ibounds with fruit of nil kinds, especially apple? [ino meadow.-*, a productive ?oil, and good living gonerally. We found comparatively few minister? hero this evening. Probably not ono-hall thc Conference io in attendance, and few more aro expected. I seo out two from the Charleston District. The atten lance of lay delegates is comparatively less than of the ministry. Bishop Doggett is present and rill preside, lint five applicants for the intiner lucy are reported in attendance. Tho Board of Managers of the Missionary So siety held a mooting this afternoon, at which new ields of labor were marked ont, without tho pro jability of gettiug- the men or tho means to occupy hem at present. Tlic New Alabuma Constitution. In looking over tho new Radical Magna Charla of Uabanu, we lind that in its principal features it re embles thc old constitutions wo have known in his country s.nco the American Revolution. In onie respects, however, as wa;i to be anticipated, he now runs ahead of the old, and we will endca or to noto the most striking of these changes: 1. Imprisonment for debt ia prohibited. 2. No property qualification can be established or electors of tho Slite. 3. Thc clause ol' slavery roads a? follows: That no form of slavery shall exist in this tate, and there shall be no" involuntary servitude therwiso than for the punishment of crime, of ..hich the party shall nave been duly convicted. 4. Divorces can only be granted by suits in han eery. 5. The judges of the courts are to hold their flices for six years, but may be removed by tho rovernor on the address ot two-thirds of the lenetal Assembly, or by impeachment. G. lu all elections by the people tho electois hall vote by hallo*. ?vory male person born in ho United States, and every male person who has cen naturalized, or who has legally declared his itention to becoino a citizen of the United States, wenty-one years oid or upwards, who shall have esided in this Stitesix months next preceding ho election, and throe months in tho county in rhich ho offers to voto, except as hereinafter pro ided, shall be deemed an elector. Soldiers, sailors and marines in tho L'nited Itates sorvice are not permitted to vote by reason f being stationed in the Stato on duty." Regis ration must be provided for by thc Gonera! As emblv, and the following persons aro not per litted to register : First. Those who during the lato rebellion .n [icted. or caused to be inflicted, any cruel or unu ual punishment upon any soldier, sailor, or ma? ine, employee or citizen "of the United States, or rho in auy other way violated the niles of civilized rarfare. "Secoud. Those who may bo disqualiti ?d rom holding office by tho proposed atneiidmont to ho Constitution of the Inited Slates, known as irticle XIV., and those who havo been disqualified rom registering to voto for delegates to tho Con ention to frame a constitution, provided that the ?gislature may remore said disabilities. Third, ihoso who shall be convicted of treason, embezzle? ment of public funds, malfeasance in office, petii entiary offences, or bribery. Fourth. Those who re idiots or insane.

Thing? in Washington. E.VEUAL GRANT AND MB. STANTON-TUE PRESIDENT S FORTHCOMING VETO-APT-OINTMENTS AND BltEVET8 -PRINCESS S ALM SALM, ETC. Tho Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore nn writes under date of December ll : Thc correspondent of the Cincinnati Commcr ial telegraphs from this city to-night an account f a little unpleasantness th.it has arisen between leneral Grant and Mr. Stanton, on account of the hraseology ot tho latter's letter, "yielding to upenor force," and alight disagreement betweon hem as to the facts connected with tho chango in he War Department. From General Grant's estimony bet?re the impeachment committee, t appears that prior to tho correspondence be woen them, Goncral Grant and Mr. Stanton had conversation upon tho proposed suspension of ho latter. Il is aliened that General Grant com? plains of Mr. Stanton's language in this nott! as icing at variance in tone from what was agreed ipon in their consultation. There is reason to believe thal the President .'ill not hold for the constitutional ten days thc fietrict bill to strike out tho word "white,'' bul rill send to Congress Mithin a week his message lisapproving tl.? bill. The nominations ol'thc President to tho Senate o-day embraced about seventy-five brevet Hilli? ary officers, from the grado of major-general lewnward. Princess Salm Sahn is ill the city. She sails for Suropt OU Saturday, the 21st instant. THE SOUTHERN RAILROADS. The select committee on Southern railroads . ubmitted to thc House of Representa ti ves to-dav 1 he testimony taken. They report that they havo oneludcd the taking of testimony upon all points : ixcept as to tho cxpodicDcy of declairing forfeited ands granted in aid of railroads in Florida, Ala >ania, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas in ?lieu case tho testimony is now being procure I >y the War Department from thc military corn Danders in those sections. Upon the other points bey will bo prepared to report when tho testimony s printed, for which purprse the testimony is low reported, with a request to thr.t effect. Thc Impeachment Vote. A close examination of Saturday's veto in the louse of Representatives on tho impeachment .esolution will show some curious and suggestive, f not unexpected results. The Philadelphia hedger gives the following interesting analysis : Wo throw out the forty-three votes cast by tho Democratic members against impeachment, and ;onsider only thoso thrown by tho Republican nembcrs on both sides of tho question. Of theso hero were- one hundred and twenty-three, fifty teveu of the Republicans voting for impeachment, iud sixty-six voting against it. It will, therefore, ;e seen" that the resolution was defeated by tho Scpuliiieens, even if none of the Dernecrats' had roted. If wa now inquire what Slates and what geographical sections produced this result, some of the curious features of tba voting be? come at once observable. Thus, of thc twenty? mo voles cast by thc New England Republicans, only five were in favor of impeachment, and seventeen against it. Neither Vermont, Rhode island nor Connecticut gave a vote in favor of tho resolution; Maino voted four to one against it; and I Massachusetts voted seven to two against it. New < Hampshire alone voted a majority for it, he1, mein- I oers standing two to ono. Coming South to New i'ork, we hud that of tho sixteen Republicans : I'jom that Stato who voted on tho question, only three voted for impeachment, and sixteen against; md in New Jersey two Republican member? in that dc legation voted against it. Thus tho Repub? lican vote ot the c-igh. States East and North of Pennsylvania stood ei rbi tor impeachment, end thirty-two against it. it is not until we reach our i own State that there is a change. Of tho fourteen Republican members from Pennsylvania ..ho were present when tho voto was taken, nine voted for impeachment, and fivo againal it. Continuing along the .v lan.ic seaboard, and passing Delaware, which had DO Republican member, wo come to Maryland, and find tho only Republican vcie from that* State cast in favor of impeachment. Hero ive have a review of the Republic in vote from tho steven Northern States on tho Atlantic seaboard, ?md il stands thus: For impeachment eighteen; igaiiL-l impeachment thirty-seven. The foregoing constitute tho commercial ar.:l manufacturing States now represented in Con? gress. What connection ibero may bo between thc peculiar nature of the voter and thc geographi? cal and business relations referred to, our iva iors tvill jueigo for themselves. Let us now take tho States immediately adjoining those above ii..mod. Tho West Virginia" Republican members j,iva two votes against impeachment, and none in favor of it ; the Ghio Republicans give niuo voten against impeachment and iivo in favor of it; R'.id tho Michigan Republicans gave lour votes against impeachment and lout ono in favor of it. 1J ero wc have a review of the Republican rotos from four? teeu States, elf ven of which aro on tho Atlantic seaboard, and thrct- next adjoining hindering on thelal.es and tin-Ohio liver, These States cast seventy-six Republican votes on Saturday, of which twenty-four weie given in favor of impeach? ment and fifty-two against it. ihis embr ices ail the States east and north of the Indiana Siuto linc. Beyond that, botii west and south, the tide is the other way, with but two exceptions. Thc Indiana Republican members voted five in favor of impeachment ami one agaiusi it; those from Illiuois, seven in favor and lour against; those from Tennessee six in favor and ono against : those from .Missouri, seven in favor and one againal : those hom Wisconsin; three in favor and two against ; and Minnesota, Kansas and Califor? nia each gave one Republican vote in ravot of im? peachment. Th. si; embrace all the remaining States that gave Republican votes on tho ques? tion either way, except Iowa and Nevada. lb< Iowa Republicans voted, two for irupeachnicnl and four against it;and the Nevada Republican member gave the single vote ol that State againsi impeachment. 'Thus it will bo sen that tho Re? publican members Crom tho Stn'es west and south of Ohio voled thirty-three in favor of im? peachment, ?md only fourteen against it. This is more than three to one lu favor nf impeachment ; while thu. e north and east of Indiana v.tod more than two to one against it. It may bc instruc? tive RS well OS curious tu study these result.-, in their geographical, commercial aid manufac? turing relations, as well as in their political bearings., and with this \if,? we !av theo." before our readers. The public generali] will feel r. sense of relief in the fact ihat "ii" great source ot irritation and apprehension has been removed from the orena of party discussion, and tho more so that thc decision Kivca is mainly by the Re? publican majority. It is tu be hoped thai the ?ame sense ol' duty, or tho same convictions of pohev, niuv Le brought int" operation nil round, to that the BUfleriug industria! and business in? terests may receive the best attention of Congress at the earliest possible day. j Dr. Samuel fleury Dickson. A volume entitled "Studies in Pathology and Therapeutics,"' just published by William Wood k Co., of this city, is from the pen of Dr. Samuel Henry Dickson', tho distingij iahed pathologist, formerly Professor of the Theory and Practico of Medicine in tho University ol' Kew York, and now ocoupying a similar chair in the facultv of Jeffer? son Medical College, Philadelphia. To all ?hose acquainted with Professor Dickson's signal ability as a teacher ard writer of medi? cal therapeutics, the simple announcement of a now book from his pen upo:i thc subject of his specialty is quito sufficient to s.ccure its eager pe? rusal. Dr. Dickson has been a successful practi? tioner and teacher of medicine for about half a century; first bi his native City of Charleston, South Carolina, afterwards in New York citv, and finally, foi thc last eight years, in Philadelphia. Daring this long period ho ha j enriched tho pro? fession with several most able and authoritative treatises upon various branches in his department, of research, and his books aro noted, independent? ly of their high scientific value, for a singularly eloquent and graceful stylo, which givos them a decided and peculiar literary merit not common to works of their class. lu tue preeont volume this charm of st} lo is eminently displayed, making the "Studies" as interesting to tho cultivated but un? professional reader, as they are to the student or professional man. [?Thcso "Studies" consist of six essays, four of which were read as lectures before tho claese3 of tue Jefferson Medical college; their subjects being, respectively : The Character and Tendency ol' Disease, lis Causation; Of certain morbid condi? tions of the Sensorial System; Pneumonia; Scrofu losis and Tuberculosis, and Therapeutics. Each of these essays is admirablo in ?ts way; and though of necessity far from exhaustive or minute, they are nevertheless full, learned, and in many instances highly uigonious and original in I heir argumentativo and" theoretic aspects. They ire, besides, happily illustrated by facts and de? tails of pathological phenomena, gathered from the unusually wide reading and experience of Dr. Dickson, and related in the most apt and forcible manner; while at tue same time tho sciontific re? search, extensivo erudition, and familiarity with ill forms; systems aud theories npportaimng to ;he subject," though constantly patent to thc :eador, arc entirely saved from the suspicion of ledantry or egotism by tho unaffected ease and ;leganco of diction, and the perfect frankness and ltter absence ol' dogmatism on the part of thc ut thor_?Veto York Evcnina Post.

Fortunately, however, the attempt has Droved unsuccessful. VVith the prevailing stylo of chignon hair-di'ms, it is, in fact, impossible to idopt thc real bonnets. When thu milliners saw that they could not popularize the large bonnets, thev commenced making still smaller ones than before, so that the already microscopic bonnets of last year seem largo in comparison willi those now orn. The fanchon style, tno Truman, the Mario Antoinette, 'thc flat-top bonnet, and BM diadem bat, are the favorite styles adopted by tho beau monde. Thev are ornamented, toa great extent, with steel and gilt drops, ::lso with garnets or friz? zed feathers, or again with aigrets. Tho satin or? naments, or vreaths ot velvet leaves mixed with gold, arc likewise ir. demand.
