Professor Owen had married for his second wife, the sister of Cap? tain H., and becomes father-in-law of his form? er brother-in-law. The Captain becomes hus? band of his niece, and grandson of his own father. And Mrs. H., by marrying her uncle, becomes daughter-in-law to her former step? mother. -The Boman correspondent of the Pall Mali Gazette sayB he is positively assured on good authority that France and Prussia have con? cluded a convention, by which those powers agree, whatever events may arise, or whatever their own relations with each other, that they will maintain the independence of the Holy See and the integrity of its present territory. This compact hos been communicated to the Italian Government, and hos called forth no objection from Gen. Menabrea, though it must be regarded as a solemn guaranty of the Papal sovereignty. -Official advices from Japan report the ex? pulsion of the Tycoon from Osaca ofter five days' fighting. On the 4th of February the 1 Japanese attacked with rifles the foreigners at ; Osaca, wounding two Frenchmen and one ; American sailor. The assailants were finally j dispersed by au armed party ot American ma- j rines and sailors. Subsequently the envoy of ( the Mikado arrived, and peace was restored. Ke foreigu Ministers demanded an apology 1 - and the punishment of the offenders, both of 1 which were accorded. The Tycoon has since i abdicated, as reported unofficially in previous , accounts from Japan, and the Mikado now ex- , ercises supreme authority. -General trade, days the New York corres pondent cf the Philadelphia Lodger, is called ( more active by some houses, though, as a gene? ral thing, there is still much complaint at the business of the past two days. Bayers ap- 1 pear to exercise great caution, and the tight- ( ness in the money market is not without an ef- i feet. There has been increased activity in do- | mestic cotton fabrics, owing to the fact that ? some of tho competing jobbing houses reduced - the price of sheetings and shirtings one and two cents per yard. Domestic woolens mode- 1 lately active, at steady prices. Foreign dress 1 goods dull. Boots acd shoes and carpetings 1 show a little more activity, but everything else inactive. -A Washington dispatch says that "the difficulty between Gen. Butler and Gen. Grant hos been at last amicably arranged. The friends of both parties have been engaged for some time past in a sort of diplomatic cor? respondence with a view to bringing them to? gether. The chief actor in this business has been George Wilkes, who has been here tor some weeli.6, ostensibly as a spectator of the impeachment trial, but really as a negotiutor between Grant and Butler. The latter's re? sentment against Grant has been very bitter. He could not well forget his pungent criticism on his military services when he alluded to him in his report as being 'corked up' at Bermuda Hundred. After this had been satisfactorily explained away by the diplomatic Wilkes, But? ler said Grant had insulted him by sending him an invitation to his reception after having stated to the country in his report that he was 'corked up.' This also was fully explained, and Butler has consented at las? to smoke the *pipe of peace.' ' ' -The correspondent of the New York Herald says that the bill for regulating the succession to the Presidency, now before Congress, is not so innocent as it looks. It is only "designed as a stalking horse to be trotted quietly through both bouseB of Congress in two readings; after which it is to be suddenly saddled with a revo? lutionary amendment proclaiming General Ulysses S. Grant the successor to Mr. Johnson; and this is to be put through both houses without debate under the gag law ot the previ? ous question." The bill is baaed on the idea that Senator Wade, who is only President pro lem. of the Senate, cannot constitutionally suc? ceed Mr. Johnson, and that the right man must be some officer of the United States. There ia also a report that Speaker Colfax is to resign any right to the succession and to refuse to receive the office, thus passing it over to Gen? eral Grant, in consideration of whi?b Mr. Col? las, has been promised the nomination aa Vice President by the next Radical National Con? vention, whilo Genoral Gran* is lo bc continu? ed as the hoad of the ticket. -Tho much talked of Napoleonic pamphlet has at last appeared. The object of the writer, whoever he may bo, is to establish beyond ques? tion tho superior right of the Napoleon family to reign in Franco, over th a I of any other house, by roason of the votes given for Napoleon I as Emperor, and those which his nephew obtain? ed, first as representative of tho people to the Constituent Assembly, then as President of the Ropublic, and lastly, as candidate to tue impe? rial throne which ho now fills. The character of the popular origiu o: both sovereigns is dwelt upon in an introduction traced, we are told, by aa august hand accustomed to literary com position; Tho Plebiscites which founded tho Empire, the manifestations of universal suf? frage, and the constitution of 1852, with th amendments introduced into it, and other docu? ments, complete this publication, which, it is affirmed, has no other object than to exhibit within a short compass the glorious phases which tho Napoleonic dynasty has passed tbroaeb. It terminates with some reflections on tho present stat-1 of political affairs. CHARLESTON MONDAY MORNING, APRIL C, 186S. Action of the State Democratic Conven? tion. The Democratic Convention which assem? bled in Columbia on Thursday last ad? journed on Friday night, after having taken such action as was considered prudent and advisable in regard to the approaching State elections. It was declared by the convention that the Democratic party of South Carolina do unite with the National Democratic party of the country,-that they recommend the people of the State to vote agiinst the new constitution and in favor of good and true men for all offices within their gift,-that they recognize the colored population of the State as an integral element of the body politic,-that the State Democracy be repre? sented in the National Democratic Conven? tion. The convention, also, made nomina lions for State officers, and appointed dele? gates to the National Democratic Conven tion. The action of the majority of the conven? tion has been dignified and temperate, and the names upon the State ticket are such as commend themselves to the respect and at? tention of the people. They are the names of able, conscientious and worthy gentle? men, and it was not intended that their adoption by thc convention in Columbia should be an empty honor. * et it must be borne in mind tbat until the Southern States are readmitted to representation in Con? gress, all governments that may exist in them are "provisional*' only, and that, under the origiu il Reconstruction act, no person is eligible to office under these pro? visional governments who is disfranchised by the fourteenth constitutional emesc" meut. Under this enactment the most prominent gentlemen nominated by the con vention are disfranchised, and ineligible to office. It is passing strange that, in times 1 like these, so important a consideration 1 should have been overlooked or forgotten Besides, whatever the prospects of eu cess in the city elections, there is little hope of electing a State ticket which opposed to the regular ticket of the Radical party. The colored people have been well drilled and are well organized, and where they are beyond the reach of personal influ ence, they may be expected to follow blindly j i and thoughtlessly the directions of their cunning leaders. To tue Unregistered. Why do you despair of the State ? It is true that our enemies have the power at present. But when did power which had no support in justice, in law, in public opin? ion, ever succeed ? If the Radicals prevail in our State, their success will be due only to our despondency and inaction. Let no South Carolinian hesitate to put forth every honest effort to save us from the ascendancy of those who are seeking for selfish ends to livide our people and to destroy our com? monwealth. We call upon every one of our citizens to register, and prepare to dis? charge the duty which he owes not only to :he public, but to himself and his children. Do you say that the system of registra? ron is unfair and unequal-that it extends .be privilege of suffrage to many who are incapable of intelligently exercising it, and ;hat it disfranchises many of the best and noblest men of the Stat i ? All this is true. But do you not see that the very reduction in the number of those who can now save the State, makes the duty of those who can register only the more imperative ? You to whom the privilege is accorded, are the forlorn hope of the country. You have been set apart, like GIDEON'S three hun? dred, to contend for all the interests and in? stitutions of your country. You do not like to be mixed with all va? rieties of bues and races at the polls. But unless you register and vote, you surrender public affairs to that mixed congregation. You commit your schools, your property, your liberties, to those who hate you, and to the credulous voters whom they control. The sacrifice of feeling you are summoned to make is a mere trifle in view of the great interests that now appeal to you. Citizens of South Carolina ! do your duty to-day. Your all is at stake. In the name of your ancestry and your manhood-in the name of human nature itself, we call upon you, we implore you, to do your duty now ! '.England's Difficulty la Ireland's Oppor? tunity." The British House of Commons has declar? ed-in the words of the London Times-that "the cancer of the Empire shall be re? moved," and by a majority of sixty the DISRAELI Cabinet has been defeated in its sturdy effort to postpone the consideration of the Irish Church question until the meeting of the new Parliament. In this instance the issue has been so direct that the Ministry have no alterna? tive but to regard the vote as an expres? sion of want of confidence on the part of J the House, and, in accordance with Parlia? mentary etiquette, must either place their resignations in the hands of the Queen or adv;se Her Majesty to dissolve Parlia? ment and order a general election. If the Ministry resign .ind their resignations are accepted, Mr. GLADSTONE or Earl RUSSELL, as thc leaders of thc opposition, will be sent for and entrusted by the Queen with the formation of a new Cabinet. If gene? ral elections are ordered, the question to be decided at the polls will be whether the Irish Church Establishment shall be main? tained or abolished, and, at the meeting of the new Parliament, a test vote will be taken to determine whether a majority of the House-that is a majority of the peo? ple-supports the policy of the Ministry. If the Ministry are again defeated, or have but a bare majority, they will then resign. It seems probable that Mr. DISRAELI and his colleagues will take the latter course, and in so doing they will rely upon the coun? tenance and voting strength of the middle and working classes, to whom the conser? vative party have given their jus: place in the government of the country. By his reform bill Mr. DISRAELI enfranchised the masses, and it is now his intention so to use ttem as to make himself master of the situation. In his favor he has thc unpopu? larity of RUSSELL, the splendid eccentricity of GLADSTONE and thc theories of MILL, but against him he has the sympathies of the people, thc manly vigor of BRIGHT, and the feeling that it is high time that a full meas? ure of justice should be dealt cut to Ireland. If shrewdness, ability, and political genius on the part of the Prime Minister can ensure success, Mr. DISRAELI will come out safe; but whether or no, the Irish Church, as the monopolist of vast revenues drawn from a population hostile to its doc? trines and teachings, is certainly doomed. BY AN ARRANGEMENT with certain em? ployees of THE DAILY NEWS, a new Radical paper, which made its appearance on Sat? urday, was printed upon the presses of this office. It need hardly be said that the Pro? prietors of THE DAILY NEWS have no sym? pathy with the principles of the Radical party, and do not intend to be in any manner instrumental in their propagation. As soon as the character of the arrangement and sheet referred to became known to them, the Proprietors of this paper promptly for? bade any further use of their presses or material for the same or any similar pur? pose.

A Pore, Unmixed, Natural Guano, aa Fine as Flour (although not Ground), just in the Condition in which, lt la imported from the Island. THIS GUANO IS FROM A RECENTLY DIS? COVERED deposit on Redunda Island, in the Carribean Sea, West Indies, latitude 16 degrees 68 minutes north, longitude 62 degrees 23 minutes west It has been used for many years in the West India Islands In the cultivation of Sugar Cane and cereals with great success; was introduced for the first urns to the fanners and planters of the United Sates m the spring of 1866, and has met wu h unprecedented success, as the subjoined reports and testimonials rol? ly corro borite. The BOD UND A GUANO ls not a mineral phos? phate, requiring the action of tbs Sulphuric Acid to render lt soluble; its great power as a fertilizer ls in ita entire solubility, without the aid of add. It is not a ..manipulation'' or Compound of * ich or Flesh with Mineral Phosphates, the regularity of which is always uncertain and dependent upon, and controll? ed by the honesty ol the manufacturer. The BO* DUNDA is a PURE NATURAL GUANO (that term being understood tornean the excr?ment offish-eat? ing birds!, as the large per contage of organic mat ter sufficiently attests, and aa found upon the Island of Rodunda, tn the very state aa imported and sold to consumers. The regularity and uniformity of the fineness and condition of the various cargoes already imported by us into the United States, tested by the analysis of the most eminent Chemists of this country and Eu? rope, is sufficient proof of its origin and a guarantee of our ability to furnish this Guano of the quality and purity represented. The PRICE of the HODUNDA GUANO is not the least unimportant in these days of agricultural com petition and pecuniary embarrassment. The very low price at which lt cac be sold placeslt within the reach of every farmer, and avoids the risk of large loss frequently incurred by failures of the crops in the p?rchale of high priced fertilisers. In the preparation of lands for Wheat and other cereals this Guano possesses properties that reader it more desirable for these crops than any yet offered to the public. Pamphlets containing the analysis and experi? ments made br the most prominent Chemists of this country and in Europe, together with innumerable certifica tea of its entire success from farmers and planters, can be obtained at our Office, to which we invite attention. . . _ .
