NKWS SUMMARY. -Gold closed in New York firm at 141j. -Cotton closed in New York on Monday firm, with sales of 23,000 bales, at 17c. -In Liverpool cotton closed firm, with sales of 15,000 bales. Uplands on the spot, 7ja7?d.; to arrive, 7jd. -Hon. A. G. Thurman, United States Sena? tor elect, is president of the Pendleton club organized at Columbus, Ohio. -Tho cabmen of Liverpool are on a strike, causing much inconvenience to the inhabit' ants. -The Pacha of Egypt, at the request of the British Government, has recalled the Egyptian auxiliaries which were sent to co-operate with the British troops in Abyssinia. -The President has approved the bill pro? viding for the distribution among the people of the South of the accumulated desiciated vegetables and preserved meats which are not required for the use of the army. -Letters from Killarney say that the clergy of that town, who refused to say mass for the souls of Allen, Larkin and Gculd, who were executed at Manchester, have ceased to receive any money from their parishioners, who refuse to contribute to their support or that of the church. -The last fruit of the absence of an interna? tional copyright law is a new enterprise in New York of a fortnightly paper compiled en? tirely from Punch, Judy, Fun, and the comic papers of the Continent, tho cartoons being re? produced by photo-lithography. It is rather wittily styled "The Magpie." -The Melbourne Argus speaks of a plague of sand-flies with which many parts of the country has been afflicted. The atmosphere has hi large discriots been loaded with these insects, which hare attacked the cattle, horses and goats in snob, myriads as to drive the poer Animals almost dislraotod. -In New Orleans, the newspapers say, the people are in a state of excitement on the sub? ject of rents. They want them for the coming year reduced to one-half of what they are at present. Thia is the substance of a resolution adopted st a meeting of two hundred of the leading New Orleans merchants, held at the St. Charlea' Hotel about ten days ago. -The wages of workingmen in nearly all the iron establishments in Harrisburg, Pa., and vicinity, have been materially reduced. Many j of them have left for other States, where labor j is better appreciated and more liberally rema . ( norsJ&d. Men with families, however, are forced to accept the "situation," and do the best they can under the circumstances. -The Courrier Francais, of Saturday even? ing Bays that the presence of Admiral Farra? gut at Naples is designed as a cornterpoise to the French forces in Rome and to sustain the Liberals of Italy, with whom Admiral Farragut. holds intimate relations. The Courrier says that the Admiral has sent to Caprera the prom? ise of his support, and he only awaits the re? ply of General Garibaldi. -The foreign journals now spend their time in discussing the probabilities of an European war. A London paper thus sums up the situ- ? ation in Prussia : "Prussia is almost aghast, j The King looks serious; Couat Von Bismarck drops his voioe, and special correspondents hardly dare record the news. It is, neverthe? less, only too sadly true that there will be a deficit of ?300,000 in this year's budget, almost the cost of a new ship. -A Washington dispatch states that there is every renton to believe that the Rev. John McMahon, who is now in pnjg&^n Canada for the patt he took in the Fenian invasion, will be very soon liberated. Certain influence, the correspondent states, bas been at work which 1 Can hardly tail to secure that object. By this t mysterious language he probably means that the President has interceded for him, as in- | \ strnoted by a recent r?solution of the House. -A desperado named Fanner, in Smyr? na, Tennessee, recently commenced abusing * another named Cain, and words soon brought a boat blows, when Cain drew a revolver he had | ? in his side pocket and shot four or five balls, each one taking effect in some portion of the body of his antagonist, who retreated from the house, and while in the yard procured a revolver and made for Cain again, who met him with an axe, with which he struck a blow, the result of which was fatal in a few minutes. -The Fenians of Ireland have adopted a new method of annoying the English people. They refuse to pay rent for land, and their organiza? tion is so perfect that it ia impossible to carry ont the ordinary precess of law in suoh oases. Bailiffs are bunted like wolves, and if offenders . j are arrested they are promptly acquitted by Fenian juries. As for sales of seized property, no man bids for his neighbor's goods. The I 1 landlords are raturally much alarmed at this new phase of popular discontent, and are almost in despair at the prospects. -A comparison of the appropriation bills reported this session with those passed last year for the fiscal year ending June, 1868, in? dicates the disposition to cut down the ex? penses of the government at every possible p -?int. Not one of the appropriation bills will reach the amount estimated Dy the heads of the different departments-in fact, it is claimed that the committee on appropriations has cut the amounts down entirely too low to meet the wants of the departments, and consequently some exciting contests may be expected over the bills. The committee will now give its attention particularly to the demands of the clerks in the departments here for increased compensation, though in trying to satisfy every one interested in this matter, the com? mittee will have its hands full. -A Washington dispatch says: "The an? nouncement was made on Saturday night that the first witness to be sworn in thotinvestiga tion of the charges t? ?nst a Judge of the Su? preme Court for alleged private expression of opinion as to the constitutionality of the Re? construction acts is Mr. Wilson, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, who was one of a social party at which the Jndge was present. It, ie said the thing will prove to be a failure. No witness can be found who ever heard Judge Field express an opinion such as is attributed to *"*"?, and it is alleged that there have been three social parties recently, which were at? tended by the three Republican members of the court and Jndge Field. The investigation fe to extend to what was said by all of the Judges at each of these gatherings." ' -Tha ri ni d's embrosrlio is still the chief sub ject of gossip at the Federal capital. A cor? respondent of the Baltimore Sun, under date of tbe 2d instant, writes: "It seonia the Radi? cals of tho Hou80 have discovered they were a little fast in rushing through the resolution looking to the impeachment of one of tho Su? preme Court Judges, supposod to bo Justice Field, for exprossing an opinion on the consti? tutionality of the Reconstruction acts. Au has been stated, it seems it was a case of mistaken identity. At a private dinner, a few days s mee, Justice Field, who was one of the in rited guests, was compelled to absent himselfjby reason of indisposition, and the seat ai. the table which was assigned to him was occupied by a noted Democratic politician. This gen? tleman denounced the Reconstruction acts, and affirmed their unconstitutionality, and his remarks were repeated outside by one of the guests, and erroneously attributed to the Justice in question. The majority of thc Houso Judiciary Committee now want to ask to bo discharged froni the further con? sideration of the subject, but the Conservative members of the committee insist on pursuing the investigation. The resolution namos no particular judge, but calls for an inquiry as to whether any ot them have expressed opinions on the Reconstruction acts. It is alleged that Chief Justice Chase has repeatedly, in both public and private, declared that the recon? struction acts are constitutional. Senator Trumbull, on the first day of the reconstruction debate in the Senate, became absolutely furious on this subject, and frantically exclaimed that any justice of the Supreme Court who was giv? ing his opinion in advance on the legislation of Congress was 'infamous, and onght to be im? peached.' The Conservative members, ihere fore, maintain that if, while these ac a are pending in the court, *be justice who prema? turely pronouncos them unconstitutional is liable to impeachment; then the jus tic 3 who pronounces them to be constitutional is equal? ly bable to be impeached, and they consequent? ly insist that the investigation shall be carried on so as to ascertain all the facts beoriag on tho isaUar." CHARLESTON . THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 6,1868. The Condition of South euroli an. In another column will bo found a letter from ex-Governor PEERY, in which tht.t gen? tleman gives a graphic but glowing pioture of the present condition of this State. As might have been expected, the letter is earn? est ly and forcibly written, but, although its details may be striotly correct, we cam io t but regard its publication as unfortunate, inas? much 8.a it will have the effect of ci citing fear and distrust, and of ohecking that in? flow of foreign capital whioh would speedi? ly remove most of our pressing troubles. Labor is Honorable. Of course it is. Who ever affirmed the contrary ? But it is not enough to say so. This is not what is wanted. There is an air >f patronage about the phrase, which we lo not like. They who most frequently -ivo utterance to it, seldom put their own lands to the plough. And yet this is the inly sure method of making labor h onora >le. Shew your faith by your work. We have frequently of late conversed vit h strangers, tourists and busines s men, vho have passed through the State. They ixpress great surprise at seeing so many die persons, whites as well as negroes, con? gregated at the railroad depots, and about he villages and country stores. No where ilse in civilized Christendom, save perhaps n Naples and some other parts o? Italy, ?an be seen so large a proportion of the itout and able-bodied population, loitering ibout on week days, perfectly at leisure, it is not a healthy sign, and every patriot, ivery right-minded citizen ought to try hb itmost to remove this canker from our nidst. In almost every country in Europe, where topulation is dense and land high-where i single aore not unfrequently rents for forty tr fifty dollars a year-the great aim and lbj ec t of the poor man is to gain a ho mo? tead, even though it be on rented land. Ie will set to work with a will to make )read for his family; and, unless the rent s too high, or some unforeseen oalamity >efalls him, he generally makes a Euppori, ind "gets on." If otherwise, he emigrates; roes to the United States, to Canada. Brazil, Australia, or the Cape of Good Ho;DC. He -oes there not because he wishes to eschew york, but because land is cheap, and he nay have a reasonable hope to obt ain the .ewards of his industry. Our negroes should take examplo by the mmigrantB; and our young white men like vise should cease to complain of the negro ind of the worthlessness of "labor." The lurest way of improving the labor of the jountry is by going to work ourselves. All -fitnesses agree in the statement that wherever a farmer has worked along with lis negroes, the result was favorable, out >f all proportion, in the amount of cotton .0 the hand or to the acre, to the places that lave been left to negro "drivers," or have seen "overseed" by a hired white man. Nothing is more common than to lear the iomplaint, "What can I do ? I am just one nan; I have no capital and have ni labor." j Land can be had everywhere-that, is oapi AL As to labor you have your own two iands; and in tho language of Scripture, whatsoever thy hand findeth to io, do it with all thy might. No man should com? plain of the want of "labor," as long as he aas his own strong arms, and perhaps those of two or three sons to fall back up on. Once let the idle and improvident negroes see 70U fairly at work, clearing ground, belting ind cutting down trees, rolling logs, split ling- rails, and making fences, and they will :ome and beg to be employed on any terms. Only in this way will you vindicate the lignity of labor. A very vigoro as article in a recent number of the New Orleans Picayune on "Idio White Mon," concludes with the following paragraph : It is not the idle negro who most curses tho South; it is the idle white man. That he ?urses the North also, chiefly its cities and ;owns, does not make it less true of him here, lhere are a few men among us who cannot work, by reason of age or infirmity: there uro )thers, like Hood and Seinines,* 'vho being ?rippled or otherwise unfit for hard labor, hould baye fighter 01- intellectual tasks, and vho work courageously and steadily in them; mt a multitude of those who aro out ot em jloyment might find it easily if they were not lither falsely ashamed to work or too lazy to te useful. To cure such, and to renovate (nd reoou truct the South, we need to make idleness iishonorable. ?Dutttfi. VL AKTK?, A WU.llA.V TO COOK AND TT do housework for a Btu all family.
