NEWS SUMM AR Y. -Gold closed in New York yesterday at 402. -Cotton in New York heavy and lower; Middling 16$ a 163. _Forney has lost about $30,000 by the defal? cation of one of his chief mon in the Senate Forney says it will nearly ruin him. -Messrs. Garfield and Bingham, prominent Radicals of Ohio, express tho deliberate opinion that the "negro must be thrown ovei board." -It is raproseuted by knowing financiers that the production of cotton in Brazil, India and Egypt, will be largor than ever the coming year. -Senator Sprague, of Rhodo Island, thinks the North has insanely destroyed tko cotton monopoly. His firm has lost over a million of dollars on cotton. Hence theso tears. -A secret order haB been instituted in New York, known as "The Brotherhood of tho Black Crook," the ceremonies of which are de? scribed as even more disgusting than were those of the defunct Sons of Malta. -Some of the D?mocratie journals advise the victims of Seward's little bell and Stan? ton's big basifies-all Northern men-to aban? don their projected meeting, on tho 22d of February, at the city of New York. -The emigration via Hamburg during the eleven months ending November 80, iao7, amounted to forty-seven thousand soven hun? dred and eighty-five persons, and via Bremen, during the Bame period, seventy-three thousand two hundred and fifteen-all to the United States. -Lovers of the sparkling bowl will bo pleas? ed to leam that America manufactures eight hundred thousand baskets of ohampagne more than the champagne districts of France are able to produce, t?o with madeira and with port. New York alone manufactures annuallv eight hundred thousand dollars worth of wines without; a single grape. -The census of Hamburg, (Germany), con? tains some curious items of information. It seems they have in that ancient free city 8607 widowors and 13,325 widows; 476 divorced husbands, who have not remarried, and 699 divorced wives, who have not sousht comfort in new unions. They have 63,643 young men under 24 years of agc, and 40,313 giris under 16. -The Turf, Field and Farm, published in New York, in a recent article on immigration says : "AU the efforts yet made to tuen a stea? dy stream of foreign emigration southward have failed, and lately, General Wagoner, in Charleston, South Carolina, tho indomitable champion of Southern immigration, a man who has devoted a lifetime to the accomplishment of what he justly conceives to be the great and supreme necessity of his adopted country, confirms iu his official report, as commissioner ot immigration, these ideas, which we have entertained ever since we gave attention to the subject." -The New York Commercial Advertiser (Republican) says: "Tho Senato exhibited more sectionalism aud nariow-mindedncss in its aotion relative to the repeal of the cotton tax, than is pleasant to contemplate. Tho re? mission of this year's tax, with a clause for its imposition next year, is a half-anJ-half mea? sure, unworthy of practical legislators. The same reasons that demand the z emission of this year's tax aro likely to apply next year with still greater force. Tho rnlture of cot? ton is extending in foreign countries, and with this tax hanging over the planters and freed? men, it is certain to diminish in tho South." -The new gold field lately discovered at thc month of the Amoor river, will probably sweU the annual production of gold to a higher figure than it has ever yet reached, and when we consider that, with the improvements con? stantly being made in mining and reducing processes, the supply of tho fields already known becomes every year huger and larger, we must expect a continued increaso in the price of exchangeable articles all over the civ? ilized world. What that increase has boen here, with our paper money, we all know; but if we were to resume specie payments at once, we Bhould by that means retnru to the prices of eight years ago. ^-Tbe Montgomery Mail of Friday last says "Laborers werehiripj themselves yesterday at the Central Bank corner for fifty dollars, and even as low as twenty-five dollars for the year. These were all able-bodied field hands, Those who cot five dollars por month last year hire themselves for food and clothing. W'e hear from tho country that the best field hands are hiring iu some sections for forty dollars per annum. A great many decline to hire un ?td after tho election. Suoh poor deluded crea? tures wfll find themselves without a home, and will be put to work by the Government on thc publio works with overseers over them. Such some of the first fruits of Radicalism." - The National Intelligencer, after discuss? ing at length the revolutionary unconstitu? tional bill introduced into tho* House Mon day, wiping out the Executivo and Judicial De? partments of the Government, concludes its ar? ticle in tho following significant language: "It can come to nothing without the co-operation of the General of tho Army, lt all rests on him. Whatever his reticence, this is a nutter in which reticence might be misunderstood. At the first overt act, however slight-were it but to orally promise to accept the functions offered in it, after such a bill had bceu passed over a veto-the funeral of the Army must bo cast into jail to ..wait his trial for treason to his country, unless the Chief Magistrate of that country is false to the trust of the people and hiB oath of office." -A London correspondent gives a list of the occupations of Mr. Thomas Hughes (Tom brown). He is a Chancery barrister in large practice; a busy member of Parliament, with a numerous and oxacting constituency; chair? man of tho Crystal Palace Company; a royal commissioner on Trade?' Unions, an active di? rector of the London Workiugiuen's College, an author who still uses his pen (he has pub? lished two magazine articles within two months, and is writing a history of King Al? fred), ard is beside known all over England as a friend of the workingman, who, with all his other occupations, finds time to give unpaid to their interests and needs. He is also colonel of the 19th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, a crack volunteer corps of tho metropolis. -A gentleman in Charlotte County, Va., thus tested the comparative results of white and black labor. He furnished thirteen negroes with mules and implements aud provisions to raise a crop, and at the same time luruished an outfit to two white men. Thc negroes raised 94 barrels of coi n, 7 stacks oats, and 5000 pounds tobacco. The two white men, with a little negro girl to cook for them, raised 112i barrels of corn, 10 stacks of oats, aud 8000 pounds of tobacco. The negroes returned tho mules in a poor, emaciated conditi m. The white men turned thor's over fat and sleek. The negroes worked fem mules; the whites two. The gentleman referred to will, this year, work whito men exclusively. To show tho im? providence of the negroes, he said the cart and niubs were at their servico to haul wood, yet they preferred to burn rails. CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16,1868. City Taxa.lou. The Committee on Ways and Means have made their report, and submitted their scheme of taxation ard expenditure for the current year. It is not necessary to review now the grounds upon which they have based their action. '.Ohe city is agreed that no higher rate of taxation than that of last year could possibly be borne, and tho Com? mittee was compelled to make the best of the means it could command. Any pay? ment, in currency, of interest upon the city debt was altogether out of the question, r.nd it is deeply to be regretted that the city did so soon after thc war resume payment upon its debt. Had the resumptiou of pay? ment of city interest been at once deferred uutil 1868 or 1870, Charleston would have been in a better position than she now is, and bondholders and stockholders would have been as well satisfied as they are at this present moment. It is useless to be over-sensitive, and, when it is acknowl? edged generally that Charleston cannot meet the $300,000 of annual interest on the city debt, it is best to admit the patent fact, in practice, and not to attempt impossibilities for the good of the public creditor. The Committee propose to issue bonds having thirty years to run and bearing six per cent, interest, payable quarterly, to liqui? date the interest due on December 31, 18G7, and this measure it is presumed will be adopted. The proposed tares for the current year are, with few exceptions, of the same char? acter and amount a s those in force for 18G7. On houses, buildings, lots, etc., the tax is two per cent., payable, however, in thiee periods March, July and November. On gross sales the tux is undetermined. The tax on express companies is reduced from five per cent, to three per cen'. Taxes on auction sales, carriages and gross incomes are thc same; but the tax on the value of bonds, mortgages, judgments or other secu? rities is increased from fifty cents to two dollars on every hundred dollars. Tho tax on commissions, gu:i companies, premiums of insurance companies, dogs, -horses and mules, retail dealers, and commercial agen? cies is unchanged. Tho capitation tax is reduced from two dollars to one dollar. On hucksters, barber shops, receipts of newspapers, sales by nou-residents, sales of horses and mules, and telegraph com? panies, the tax ii the same us before. A tax of seventy-five cents on each hundred dollars of the gro is receipts of all tavern beepers and liquor dealers is proposed. These are the general features of the bill ts presented, but l here is an indication that tome modifications will be made before its inul passage. One great question is ivhether gross sales of merchants or only ?lock in trade at a fixed dale shall be taxed. Each Bide has its supporters and its strong joints. A tax on gross receipts is too often i tax upon losses, aud a tax upon profits is he most equitable plan. Rut a tax upon tock iu hand would, iu some respects, be ts bud as a tax upou gross receipt-, for if { viii be a tax upon goods unsold, which ? ire daily depreciating in value. Moreover, t is difficult to fix a day upon which there viii be on hand an amouut of stock that viii be a fair average for the year. Mer ihants will not be willing to have their > ?tocks taken whe i at their highest; the city viii not be willing to fix a date when stocks ire low and all the choice goods have been old. It would te difficult to reconcile both \ riews, and, while admitting the hardship 1 if a tax upon gross sales, it is considered test that for thin year at least no change i hould bo made in thc nature or amount of 1 he tax. The .Mormons? j )HIGIN AND PROGIt?ss OF MORMONISM. Biogra? phy of its Founders and History of its Church, i By Pomeroy Tucker, Palmyra, Now York. New York : D. Appleton & Co. Chailo?ton : John Russell. Whether we will or no, Mormonism con trains our attention. Fifty years ago, it J ma unknown. An illiterate, whiskey- 1 rinking, shiftless, irreligious family in t 'almyra, New York, recognize as one of [ ts members an ignorant, untruthful vag.v ond, popularly known as "JOE SMITH," A\o divided his time between lounging and t ?oney-digging, finding leisure now and ? hen to rend the Bible and the highly moral ? iogruphies of STEPHEN BURROUGHS, and ? laptain KYDD. To-day more than a mil- ? ?on "converts" recognized him as a true j rophet of God. The believers iu his di ino legation are coextensive with the ounds of civilij.ation. Periodicals devoted ) thc propagaron of his faith are published i London, Liverpool, in Paris, in Geneva, i Copenhagen, in Wale?, in California, in Jj .ustralia. A mighty State hus been erected ' i the heart of the American continent, ?j mid scenes of thc rarest natural beauly; nd to this secluded spot a tide of cmigru ion has set in as steady and full na thc i ilgrinmge to Mecca. The spread of the 1, ew Mohammedanism is one of the greatest rond?is of om- century. Mr. TUCKER has performed a public ?er- ? ice in hts documentary history ot' the 1 rigiu and progress of this gigantic inipo- : ition. Ile has supplemented facts already nown, with fae testimony of SMITH'S con- , cmporarics and neighbors, and exhibited 1 he expedients by which a roving company f knaves and dupes was organized into a 1 burch of Mormons. The story has thc in ercst of a romance-the magic stone, the jolden Bible, the Urim and Thummim with their crysta! lenses, the history of thc lost tribes, the modern revelations, the miracu? lous conception, the western journeys to Nauvoo, to Independence, to the Great Salt Lake, the arts and arms of the growing State, the majesty of the rising temple. The author has not uttered the last word concerning Mormonism. Resorting neither to rhetoric nor reflection, ho presents thc reader a plain statement of facts. Thc compilation will enable thc thoughtful reader to discover thc character, and the statesman to prognosticate the destiny of | the system. It is a system of gross mate? rialism, making the highest spirit fluid, local, electric. It is a system of commun? ism, enlarging the bounds of the family by polygamy, breaking into the defences of j the harem by spiritual wife-sealing, and pledging salvation to all who enter into these licentious unions. It is a system of puro despotism, with its civil and ecclesi? astical laws and institutions so arranged that the President of the Church controls thc purse, the sword and the altar. It is a system of priestcraft-claiming every su? pernatural power and prerogative-the power of the keys, thc gift of miracles, thc gift of prophecy, the gift of revelation, the right of tithing, which means laying claim tc everything that the members can spare. It is a system of shifts and expedients, and therefore of inconsistencies : thus the Book of Mormon rebukes polygamy; thus SMITH had a "revelation" to tho effect that the town of Independence was the land of promise and eternal inheritance of the Saints; thcu the Nauvoo house was given "to JosErn and his seed after him, from generation to generation,, forever aud ever;" thus every person to bo saved must be con? firmed by the ciders of the Latter Day Church, while no person can perish except an apostate from that church. Ono law neutralizes its predecessor, though each comes from Heaven; and one eternity sup? plants another ! Finally, Mormonism is a great land speculation. Thc missionaries scattered over Europe are agents as well ns preachers. They scatter everywhero the circulars in which BRIOHAM YOUNO magni? fier thc advantages of Dcseret. It is said that he has made half a million of dollars by the European mission; the sums of money brought by the immigrants are subject to his levies. To win this wealthy tribute thc old Hcresiarch adopts the language of a latitudinarian, urging Christian and Jew, Mohammedan aud Pagan, to come as they are and take a portion of thc promised land. Mormonism is doomed. Puerile in its beliefs, coarse ill its manners, degrading and revolting in its most sacred institutions, it shrinks with tho instinct of self-preser? vation froin contact with any other civili? zation. It is already looking to the Sand? wich Islands as a new Cuuaun. its pros? perity is factitious, because there ia no great reality ou which the massy structure is founded. Some half dozen sects have already broken away from the main body. Unless prevented by outward pressure the process of disintegration will go on. Tia apprehension of a great change already possesses the Mormon mind. After me, thc Millennium, says BttJOUAN YOUNG;-a ruler of like spirit used to say, "After ute, the Deluge !" Mus. THERESA LONOWOHTH YELVERTON is a sojourner in our city. Our readers are familiar * with the sad story of bitter and unredressed wroug which has rendered the name of thia lady celebrated throughout Christendom. The spirit aud persistency with which, year after year, ahe maintained the struggle before the English couria in vindication of her good name, have won her thc sympathy and thc respect of hon? est mon and women everywhere. Mrs. YELVERTON comes to the South to gather materials for a book which she is prepar? ing; and it ia net improbable that, during her stay in Charlestou, she may be induced to give u public reading. /or Sole.
