N E W S SUMMARY. -Gold was quoted in Now York yesterday at 33L -Cotton closed in New York yesterday firmer at 26c. Sales 12,000 bales. -In Liverpool, cotton was quoted on the spot 104d.; to arrive lOJd. Sales 15,000 bales. -Prussia is not a little disturbed because the chiefs of tho Wurtemberg and Bavarian Cabinets have bad an interview. Visions of a South German Confederation float before tho eyes of Bismarck. -"Echoes from the Club3'' relate that when a young and enthusiastic clergyman expressed a wish, in the presence of the Bishop of Exe? ter, that there were preachers in tho Church -of England as eloquent as Spurgeon, the prelate dryly remarked, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass." -In East Tennessee, at various places where there are veins of copper, zinc and lead ore, it is said that excavations have been found that must have been made hundred? ol' years be? fore that country was settled by the present white people. Some of these excavations are very extensive, and the rocks seem to have been fractured by heating and throwing water upon them. Speculation is rife as to who did it -From Italy it is announced that, owing to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, there seems to b6 some danger of a new ongulfment of the partly buried city of Pompeii; and also that lately another ancient city has come to the surface. Traces of a large ancient town near Castranova, in Sicily, high up on the Cassera Mountains, have been discovered, and excava? tions are to be begun without delay. -During the carnival, Victor Emmanuel square in Turin, said to be the largest square in Europe, was converted into an immenae open air theatre, the pit of which contained .30,000 people. On the stage were represented the birth and career of Gianduja, the Turin harlequin, in, as the play-bill has it, a " Non plusultragicomi f antasticomirnicopirot ecnicom ihtaredaozantequestreginnasticaraoruca Azi one." We have mislaid all our dictionaries. -The New York Times says: "It is a curi? ons fact that the demand for children for adoption is in advance of the supply. The number of foundlings received by the police was one hundred and seventy-six in 1867, and this is an increase on the previous year; yet the authorities of the Home for the Friendless and other benevolent associations assert that they are unable to meet the demand for healthy infants for adoption. The number of persons without children of their own, who wish to have a child to bring up, is large and increasing. Girls are preferred to boys, and even crippled children are not refused. -The racing of the Derby evidently does not afford a sufficient field for the English mania for betting. A noble lord, it is announced, has laid an even wager that on that great day he will leave Gracechurcb-street, driving bis drag, at the same hour that a female pedestrian leaves the Plough at Clapham, and will arrive at the grand stand before ber. The woman is fifty-five years old, and the start is four and a half miles in seventeen, lt is said that "the odds are now five to four on the petticoat," for of course a great many others besides the no? ble lord will win or lose on this novel match. -A private letter from Buenos Ayres gives some particulars of the fearful ravages of the 1 cholera in South America. The number of ! deaths in the city of Buenos Ayres ran up dur- 1 ing the month of December from fi fteen to one i hundred and thirty per day, and at the date of , writing (January 25th) had decreased to a general average of more than seventy. The -disease spread into the neighboring country, where its effects were dreadfully manifested. One town which, before the cholera, had three thousand inhabitants, has now but two hun? dred, and others were literally depopulated. Medical assistance was not easily obtai ned, the dead were hurried into their graves coffin less, and with no form of burial, i here was a universal panic among the people. -A letter from Rome, dated February 29th, says that Mr. George Peabody and Hon. Robert C. Winthrop were presented to His Holiness, the Pope, last week. The Pope was fully aware of the character of bis visitors, whom he re? quested to be seated in his presence, an un? usual mark of distinction. A delicate token of Pio Nono's appreciation of Mr. Peabody's uni? versal benevolence was afforded by the Latin ?quotations from Holy Writ, showing the bless? ed quality of charity, which he wrote with his own hand under some photographic likenesses of himself, which he presented to the party as .souvenirs of the visit. On retiring from the Pope's audience, these gentlemen wore pre? sented to Cardinal Antonelli. The conversa? tion turned on thc hospital ot San Spirito, among other charitable institutions, and Mr. Peabody no sooner returned to his hotel than he forwarded a check of one thousand francs to the Cardinal in aid of that hospital's funds." -Au extraordinary tragedy has been enact? ed at Todmorden, England. The Rev. Mr. Plows, the incumbent of the Parish, Mrs. Plows and several of the servants, wero at? tacked, on the night of tho 2d inst., by a suitor of tho maid servants, who had been dis? charged on account of bis visits. Armed with a hatchet and a pistol, the mau made a furious attack on Mr. Plows and frightfully mutilated bim about the head. He next attacked the female seavants, and a housemaid was shot dead. The murderer then armed himself with a poker and proceeded to the bedroom in which Mrs. Plows was lying, and where she had recently given birth to a chUd. Stripping down the bedclothes bc fired at Mrs. Plows, but the ball did not take effect. Ho next at? tacked ber savagely with the poker, inflicting severe scalp wounds, breaking her nose and otherwiso injuring her. While in the act of striking another blow at her, his arm was arrested by a neighbor. Mr. and Mrs. Plows remain in a precarious state. _The indignation against Mr. John Stuart Mill, amongst all who hold an acre of land in Ireland, on accouut of his recent proposals, seems rather strong. There were bets, just before tho Irish debate came on, that no single member bl the House of Commons would cn -dorse the scheme. Mr. Mid sits through it all ojrith philosophic calmness. His theories may bo radically unsound, bm men who a^c not en? raged by wounded self-interest, arc compelled to admire his singleness of aim and quiet ad? herence to thc most unpopular views. Kr. Mill regards neither poliiic-rd oppoucnts nor politi? cal friends when doctrine.s of political economy, or doctrines or any kind in which be feels the good of society ie concerti"1, aro at stake. This liberty, no doubt, he gi .-es to others. His adniir.ition of peasant proprietors, and bis de? sire to seo them compulsorily established on Irish soil, is not sluired in by men equally hon? est as himself, and perhaps better qualified to speak with confidence as to how such pro visions would work. -It is said that no wife ever felt more de light at honors bestowed on a husband than Mrs. Disraeli does at this elevation of her lord to the highest office under tho crown-a post of greator proportionate influence than that of the President of our own republic. She be? lieved in him in bumbler days. Harsh things are uttered, but she does not heed them. 3?r. Thomas Carlyle, who alluded sneeringly to the right Honorable gentleman io his last panipb let, when told, while walkin? in the park, of the news, said he was glad to bear it. "On the whole," bo added, "Mr. Disraeli is the fittest man for the place because ho is the honestest He is a scoundrel, it ia true, but he never pre? tended to bo anything else." When one thinks of it, there are anomalies in the case. lu actual fact, Mr. Disraeli is, so far as the Church of England is concerned, at this mo? ment the direct representative of the apostles. When a bishopric is vacant it is ho who will have to decide who is the most God-i'earin and orthodox of the clergy and the fittest to take the place. But in thc Commons the right honorable gentleman filled nis new position as to the mannor born, and on bis own theories of action is a very successful statesman. -Mr. Goldwin Smith, in delivering a lec? ture at Brighton, spoke out with more direct nose on the subject of hereditary monarchy tban we remember any public man in England of mark to have done in our day. He said very I plainly that tho root of monarchy is dead, and that the tio between Queen Victoria and the English people is purely ono of personal affec? tion. Were this true, the prospects of the Prince of Wales would be not of the best; but the words ara likely to lead to an exaggerated estimate of the situation. The old and blind loyalty to a name, an idea, a show, no doubt is dead. The monarchy of England is ?up ported in other ways. A large proportion of the mid? dle classei firmly beb'eve that some hocus-po? cus such as a sovereign without power is the best arrangement for the security and comfort of society; and to the multitude the notion of a repidic is distasteful. Under certain condi? tions, the hereditary monarchy of England is decidedly the safest in Europe; but those con? ditions may bo wanting. A bad and obstinate king would bo weighed, and got rid of with very slight delay. Mr. Goldwin Smith's lec? ture, meanwhile, is a significant cv; nt, as be? tokening the new form of open questions which are to be considered when the reign of democracy is fuHy inaugurated. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 28, 186S. The Question: of Government. SIGNS or THE TEHES, by G. Mauigault, of South Carolina. New York : Blelock & Co. Charles ton : John Russell. The author of this pamphlet, a modest, high toned and gallant gentleman of South Carolina, asserts the rights of property and intelligence, at the precise moment when agrarianism and Radicalism prevail; and proclaims the doom of that democracy, just when it seems to have most signally tri umphed. The tendencies of a stirring con flic tin g age he marks with the eye of philo sophie observation. To a public controlled by demagogues, he commits a tract charac? terized by grave political wisdom, and dis? cussing with a certain judicial calmness, the most exciting subjects. Whatever opinion may be entertained as to the force of Mr. MANIGAULT'S argument tn favor of a monarchical and aristocratioal republic, it cannot be denied that he has made out a strong case against a pure de? mocracy. It is impossible to meet the ar? gument, that universal suffrage is a pre? mium upon vice and ignorance, in which the numerical majority always inheres, and a provision of power and place for the po? litical intriguer. It commits every public interest to the base many, who transfer it, either by purchase or through passion, to the baser few. The government of the needy and gullible many resolves itself into the government of the ambitious, the wealthy, the designing few. The many vote; but the votes are dependent upon the bribery, the flattery and the intimidation of the few. Thus by a singular yet inevitable law, the democracy becomes and is an oli? garchy; and universal suffrage establishes a caucus-a political monopoly as secret and potent as the Venetian Council of Ten. Such is our condition at present; and to every thoughtful observer it is clear that the present form of government cannot stand. This is evidently Mr. MANIGAULT'S conclusion, and his traot is an inquiry into the kind of government that should take its place. The theme is a profoundly practical one; and although no Southern man can exert any influence upon the public policy at the present time, the discussion is not unsea? sonable. When the American Revolution had reduced the elements of society to a chaotic state, the great men of that day engaged in the titudy of systems of govern? ment. To this subject were devoted the Attic learning of ADAMS, the courtly genius of HAMILTON, thc judicial dignity of MADI? SON, thc versatile dexterity of JEFFERSON. But admirable as were thc lessons and in? stitutions bequeathed by these "'ustrious statesmen, it is manifest that thc antique monuments they reared and decorated have well nigh lost tl.eir sanctity. A more fearful explosion than they witnessed has devastated the land: A new system is re? quired to re-establish those liberties which they fondly thought they had placed upon an immovable foundation. Mr. MANIOAULT proposes a threefold division of the political department of the government, consisting of two houses of legislature, one representing population, the other representing property, and, to complete the organization, au administra? tive head. Ile would give to euch house a veto on encroachments by the other upon the class of rights it represents, and to the executive a veto on legislation. Natural rights would be guarded by the lower house; vested rights by thc higher, which should represent not only men, but also women of property, and even corporations. The ex? ecutive power should be independent o:j election-a hereditary dignity limited by constitutional law. To government he would assign simply the ofuce of a guardian of the people against foreign hostility and domestic injustice. What is called a pater? nal government he regards as but little better than the government of a mob. For it undertakes to do by its agents what indi? viduals can do better for themselves ; and, in its bounties and largesses, it is simply robbing the industrious to support the ehiftless and vicious members of the com? munity. There is a want of completeness in the plan proposed by our author which consid? erations of expediency no doubt explain. There is philosophic breadth in all other parts of the essay-in its resume of political and social developments, in its account of the object and essential nature of govern? ment, in its description of the basis of or? ganization, and, finally, in its comparison of the practical results of the various sys? tems. Mr. MAXIGAULT had in his mind a scheme more complete than the slight sketch and modest compromise he proposes something belter than a lower house elected by universal suffrage, and a higher house where the States should have no representa? tion, and an executive who might be as easily despoiled of his prerogatives as the present incumbent at the White House. For the present thc author is content with con? troverting and suggesting-a work admira? bly done. The field is deeply ploughed ; the precious seed is liberally scattered. Will the birds of the air swoop down and devour the living germs, or will they sur? vive and bear fruit in some happier season than that which now blusters and rages around us-a boisterous equinox of history? In_the meantime we cordially commend the monograph itself, with its pregnant thought, its seasonable warnings and its clear and manly style, to the favor of our readers. Mr. MANIGACLT is a worthy son of a State which has ever been fertile in political phi? losophers. New Music.
