The clerk announced thai tho court wo uld Btand adjourned until the regular ssssion-the fourth Tuesday in No vemberf WHO WANTS A FLUE ESOINE?-We direct the attention of fir? companies in the interior to the notice of Chief Nathan, o? the Charleston Fire Department, offering for sale a first class hand fire engine. This is such a chance for an advantageous purchase as seldom occurs. TEE THEATEE.-The performance last night passed off creditably as usual, though thegen . eral desire to hear Mr. Adajas doubtless de? tracted somewhat from^the fullness of the house. The Vane Sisters seem to improve in the spirit and excellence of their acting with each appearance. There is a rich and varied Saturday night bill of attractions presented for this evening. See advertisement. WIDOWS' HOSTE.-Tho ladies in charge of the Widows' Home gratefully acknowledge the receipt of forty-two ($42) dollars for the bene? fit ot that institution from the "Phoenix Rifles," through Captain F. H. Cart. Also, a donation of stationery, 4c, from Mr. Hiram Harris. A handsome donation of lamps from Mr. Paddon, and pi o vision s from friends in Orangeburg. THE CHARLESTON LINE OF STEAMERS.-The Baltiinoro Sun of Thursday says : "The trade between Baltimore and Charleston has increas? ed to snob an extent as to render the owners of tile lino of steamers between the two ports justifiable in dispatching a steamer every five days- The Maryland being absent on a for? eign voyage, the Carroll, Captain Hudgins, has -been put on tho linc, and wiU sail from Boyce's .wharf at four o'clock P. M. to-day." AN OLD FIKM;.-The firm of Edderton & Richarde, whoso business announcement we publish in another column, though dating back its origin to 1825, has commenced operations for the fall and winter season with all the ener? gy and tact for which it has been distinguished in the past. The front of its establishment, No. 32 Broad-3treet, has lately been handsome? ly renovated, and they have recently added to their stock a complete assortment of cloths and cassimcres of every description, which they offer to make up into suits at order, at prices lower than market appraisement. A * sight of tho novelties in their line, which they \w are now displacing, will well ropay a visit to Vttofe store. HOMEOPATHr.-There are thirty-six hundred and thirty-seven homeopathic practitioners in the United States, of which number New Eng? land" bas five hundred and eighteen. There -are sixty-one homeopathic societies, of which three aro national, two aro sectional, sixteen are organized by States, and forty are of a local character. There are seven colleges-at Phil? adelphia, Cloveland, New York, Chicago, St, Louis and Boston. There are dispensaries, in? firmaries and hospitals in fourteen cities, in? cluding Washington. In Michigan the Su? preme Court han ordered a mandamus to bo issued commanding the regents of the State University to show cause why they do not obey the provisions Of the act of 1865, which estab? lished a chair of homeopathy in the medical departments. The regents refuse to carry out the law, oe the ground that the Legislature has not the power to regulate the management of the University. HOTEL ARRIVALS-October 16.-Cltarleston Ho'cL-John B.

NEW METHOD OF CULTIVATING COTION.-The following now idean in relation to an improved mode of cultivating the staple, wo take from the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of the 15th inst.: Gossiping the other night upon the proba? bilities and possibilities ot' cotton growing, an experienced and intelligent clamer in the cir? cle expressed the opinion that "ono of those days" moro than tom bales of cotton would be raised to thc acie upsn our poor pine uplands in Middle Georgia. The method he developod was briefly this: To raise the cotton plants in a hot bed, so as to have them ready to trans? plant, and as large as possible for that pur Sose, so soon as frosts were gone in the spring, [ea.:wuiJe to lay out in squares or hills, eicht feet apart each way, and have these hills exca? vated deeply end widely, and heavily mauured. By carly transplanting, the bolls would begin to' open in June, and, in a favorable year, pro? duce till November. With two stalks to the hill and fifty matured bolls to the stalk, his calculation was that the product would bo seven thousand pounds of seed cotton to tho L acre. But if one were to judge by a cotton- | 1 patch wo saw this fail, with an average of about three hundred boils aud blooms to the stalk, : and add tho condition of five full months fruit? ing timo, it is difficult to tell what would bo ' the product of an acre of cotton under such 1 ~ conditions. We should like to see the experi- 1 ment tried. BUSLNKSS NOTICES. OREEN TURTLE SOUP, roast pig and stewed marsh hen for lunch to-day at Ton k's "?ur Eouse." B.

THE G?R5IAVS IN AMERICA. REMARKS OF GENERAL JAMES SI V. ONS FORE THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC CLU1 MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12. 1868. Upon bo ng being introduced to the C General Simons said : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Ger; Democratic Club of Charleston : It hajfciv.'u mo groat pleasure to accept invitation of TOTO distinguished Presiden addreira you th?8 evening. The ktud and gt fying terms in which he couched his invita have given me the liveliest satisfaction. Yt bo said that the "Germans of Charleiton for years been my attached friends and eui admir?is,"' I might have supposed that th cords sprung from that consideration friendship which he has personally felt for for many years, and which it hus been my pi and pleasure to reciprocate >vith ?nc esteem; but I have had' ao many substau proofs of the confidence and estimation of y people extended, not only to me, but to family, and rank so mauy of them among clientage and patrons in the arduous strugf of my professional career, that 1 take this portunity thus publicly to declare my thai and gratitude, and 1 will be more than rewa ed if anything I can say on this occasion \ afford you entertainment or instruction. lt would ba no disparagement to any peor European or American, for a speaker to < clare his prido and satisfaction to have tho i portnuity to address Germans, aud thc sons Germans in their adopted country. That p> pie are well worthy of the high st consult: tion, of whom a learned and distinguished h terian has said, in speaking of tho Hom view of them in their eariy hi tory, that "Valor wa? tho crace of their men, and Chastity tho virtue of their women " And in later times, as civilization advanc aud the ruder age gave placa to the cultiv?t] of tho arts of peace and the maintenance social order, it is co disparagement to t greatest of modern nations to say that no have s ur passed the Germans tu the arts a sciences, in music, paiuting, poetry, proso. h tory or philosophy-for in all these varied t partments the German schools have th masters, who, if they eau be equalled, hu not been outstript in glory and renown. But the occasion requires that I sbou more particularly refer to the political views tne Germans. So early aa when tho Hom historian, Tacitus, wrote*of them, ho rcprcsci ed that their "ail-absorbing and engrossii passion was for liberty." It is said that th "scorned restraint, considered independen as the most precious of all things, and wei therefore, ready to give up lifo rather than li erty." When Europe threw off tho shackles of t Feudal system, the idea of Dem tracy-that to say, the participation by the people in tu; own government-fouud its eradlo in German The division of the municipal community ia what ia called "Estates-whish hus its paruli in our own government, in thc Executive D partment, the Legislativo Department, coi prising the Senate and the House ot Represe tatives, and the Judiciary Department-was Teutonic origin, and iu the early stages their existence were only found in those cou ties which were oe JU pi? d by the posterity Teutonic tribes-at least, 6uch is the creel given to them by one of their great historian It is not surprising, then, that so many that nation, in the revolution of European a fairs, restlesa under tho slow progress of hi ropean ideas towards tho proper particip?t?. by the people iu tho administration of gover: mont, should have sought tho shores of th country, the character and elements of the p litical institutions of which were in uiison wil those principles that originated among the own ancestors in the earliest period of the history. On the other hand, it may well be a matti of surprise that the people of this couuti should ever have countenanced a policy whic would have exe 1 uded from their territory, arnon other foreigners, that people who were th prepared, os it were by their history and oi ganization, to fraternize and assimilate wit the very elements on which our whole politic: structure was founded and upreared. such, then, it seems to me, aro tho politic; characteristics of the Gorman people who hav sought citizenship and domiciliary residene in this country by adoption; and it is no mor than the merest justice to say of them that, i addition to these political tendencies and eec foments, in addition to the education and train ing not only in letters, but in tho arts of life in which they havu boen reared by thc pecu HOT, social and educational system prevuilmj in various German States, they superseded ; society, thrift, industry and public spirit, am a love of law and order which not only maki them good citizens, but contribute to tue am pie development of all the natural rosourecs o the communities of their adoption. In the great divisions, tuen, Of thc portie; which agitate this country, on what side woul< the Germans naturally turn their eyes ? In tho first place, I will allude to a very deli cate subject, and in my apprehension tho mos difficult of the complex and impenetrable pro blem which is before ns. How can the Ger man, iu this country, with sjch au inheritanci of political sentiment ana tendencies, irater nize with a party who insist on a probation o five years' residence in this country-a rcnun cktion of all allegiance to any and every for eign prince, potentate, state br sovereignty an intelligent, comprehending aud ardent "ap preciatiou and affection for tho Coustitutioi o the United States, and judicial proofs in i court of record of all these things, beforo i German can be naturalized and accepted as t citizen of the United ?tatos; and yet, that same party at the same time shad, b\ one word, bj one stroke of the pen, by a simple ukase ol despotic power, in utter defiauce of that verj constitution, and in repugnance to tho mani? fest natural sense and instinct vt tho European and American race, elevate to citizenship aud perfect equality a whole race who do not, as a mass, possess a single qualification so rigidly exacted from the foreigner. Secondly, I have shown you that tho Teu? tonic race wero tho first who conceived the idea of political "estates," in the establishment ot pol.tical constitutions, or guvennnents. lt is proper to explain what is meant by the tenn estates. "Estates are thoso political bodes which partake, either directly or by represen? tation, in tho government." Thus in many European nations thc king, the nobility, thc clergy, thc people, and among those last, in somo ?States, sub-divisions, fur? nish apt illustrations. In this country we have no ' estates" in gov? ernment;'but wc consider that all power ema? nates from the people-and in this doctrino I ??ive my hearty concurrence-for 1 hold it as a iogma that the people in a welt organized rep? resentative government are capable of govern? ing themselves. The government, however, must be divided uto distinct departments, which, I have al? ready said, in this country are, by the constitu? tions of tho several States, tho Bxecnttve. tho Legislative, consisting of a Senate and House jf Representatives, and the Judicial depart? ment. These are indispensable foi the purpose of mutually checking each other, and tims crea? ting a balance of power between them, and aercin is the parallel of tho aneicut German dea. The party now in power have broken down Ibis division, and seek tu vest the wholo power >f th?, government in thc hands of the Legisla? tive department, and chiefly in tue House of Representatives. This fcuus them now be? muse they have a vast majority iu the H nisi?; ndoed, a large majority in tho'Senate also. lu his endeavor, President Johnson exercised lis executive and constitutum. power wisely md patriotically to check and res tram them, lt was necessary to get rid of him. They impeached him on trivial pretexts, lone of which could bo sustained; and even ;hcir own party shrank hum thc abortive Of? lox.*. Senators w *o fouud, bo it sa d to their jwn honor aud that pf thc country, whose ;onstitutional knowledge as awvers, and whose ;uaracters as men, were repugnant to tho exe? H! lion of so greata political crim.:;*ond this ?rand party expedient fod bull-born, from its )wn inherent hollowness ?ty 1 (ody. In turn, they have a ta ked"the Supreme Jourt. and made tha-. groat body hang up their udgmeuts in suspense. All this concentrates power in ono depart uent of the governtnoat against ibo very thco .y of the constitution and its express laiigua?o, iud in defiance of the histoiy and practice of ne State iu the golden ago of tho republic; ind if they succeed iu the approaching clec lon, well grounded apprehensions have Deon ?utertamed and expressed thai they will either etam all power iu tho bands of Congress, to he exclusion of tho other ttcpirtnicuts, or thai ill power wdl bo vested in the Executive) hands; lie constitution be practically overthrown, and in autocracy set up. which mil proc.ed ac lording to the wdl of tho singlo head of thc tatton. Either of these political conditions is prc tiseiy what the intelligent n:e:i to whom I now iddress myself wished to avoid in their own tons try. when they nought thc security ?nd ?berty of.-. representativo government on this nile of the Atlantic. It appears co mo, therefore, that it is utterly nconsistent with his education training anil ?ganization, and with his hope of enjoyment if republioan liberty, that the German shall Jjy himself with the Republican party. His only sympathy with tho party would bc in the name; but by a strmgo perversion of term?, the name of republican, which is properly ap? plicable to that condition of government in which the people participate through their representatives, chosen by themselves, and from amongst themselves, is applied to a party who wish to strengthen and consolidate thc government, and by concentrating all power in a singlo department, escinde thc peoplo Irom all representation or participation, and over? throw ail restraints upon uncontrolled power. Tho obvious result of this disposition of the powe: of the government would bc to create privileges, to he enjoyed by a few, to the ex? clusion of tho many." Thc foreshadowing of this is now to bc seo? in I ho fact that tho men who. daring thc lalo war, have accumulated, in thc Northern States, fortunes so immense as to exceed thc wealth of European princes nnd nobility, array themselves on tho sub of the party now in power. 1'hey have grasped into their own hunda, by their contracts and .specu? lations duriue; thc wa-, millions and hundreds of millions of the public securities, and li >!d thom free of tax. whilst all the burthens of thc ?mu.onso taxation and expenses of tho govern? ment fall upon the yeomanry, and laboring, and poorer classes of our people. By way of illustration, it appears,, from an article in the last number of the American Law Eoviow, that ot.c person of immense wealth h d obtained the contracts of almost 1 a.l the croat thoroughfares lea linc: from New York to the West. Bosuminc: with thc Harlem Hoad, ho had taken possession of tho linden River, and finally of tho Now York Cent al, and was stretching out his hand6 to grasp the Ene." Hero ho encountered another great le? viathan of the ocean of manv, who, to rcsii-t him, actually len* to the Enc "Road $3,300,000 in cash, and bv this means armod himself with fifty-eight thoosai.d ot tho shares, vhich, by throwing them at once on tho market in Wall street, he was enabled, by one cou|), to depre? ciate tho slock lifty per cent, by which it ia said "ho largelv increased his woalth, and won great glory on Wall-street." Again, it is rumorodthat al a late Republican meeting in New York, the president and twen? ty-five vicc-nrosidents of tho meeting together owned S1130 OOO e-00. What pc ?er mna? bc had "vcr a irovemmont vested in an autocracy, W hi th" hands of a lew managers, in other words, in a singlo de? partment, by creditors, who hold in their hands tho hundred's and thousands of millions of thc public debt ? Before the var the whole civil and military list of tho government. as achniaiat red by tho Democratic prrty, did not exceed $80.000 OOO; and yet tho peoplo, shocked even nt these .mor? mons figuics. watched with slooploss and jeal? ous vigilance the conduct of these officials, and constantly feared thc corruptions which tho disbursement of this great revenue misfit en? gender. But thia immense sum falls into the merost insiirnificanco whon you reflect ih.it Ihe end cf thc fiscal year. 3t) h Juno Inst. $160, 003,000 had not fully met thc demand of tho gc verumcut for tho year. 1 hero niu-t be cor? ruption in all governments; none can bo en? tirely free from it; and there can be but ono effectual chock-that is bj' dividing and isolat? ing tho various departments of tho iiowrn ment in such away as that each will bc a check and restraint on thc other. There is virtue in a people, even whon their rulers mav have none; and it thc peoplo cannot bc represented by a sufficient number to in? fuse their virtue, or, if they have noue, at least to watch the conduct of their rulers and to bo a check upon them, all hope of curbing corrup? tion must be at an ond. Ol all political engines, thc most powerful is money; and if such be its power in itself, how much"will it bc multiplied when tho sword is thrown into tho scale. Concentrate thoso. two elements in tho hands aud contnl of u, few, consolidate tho power over the 8tates of thi i Lnion m a cortralizod head, and American lib? erty will soon become thc "fading frabric of a vision." I havo thus selected iheso two grounds on which, it appears to me, that it wouid bc in? consistent with German ideas and German education to harmonize with thoso who would pursue a. pokey in absolute antagonism to their own conceptions. Tho love of liberty demands equality and jastico OD tho ono hand, and security fonts enjoyment on tho other. In tho grouud just suggestod I have shown you how uttorly un? equal aud unjust that poiicy is, which discri? minates botween the foroigner and tho inferior rico in this country, in favor of the latter and against tho foreigner. Were I disposed to agitate thc paseio i* of men in this canvass, instead of confining mysolf to sum rifluctions as involve thc peace and tranquillity of thc country, I tvould characterize this discrimina? tion, not only as unjust, but as an insult to tho character, industry and cora."rohension of the foreign r. who seeks a home, by adoption, in this country, and were I a foreigner, it appeara to me that myjudgmont and inv sentiments on this subject would absolutely coincide. Then, on tho great governmental qu stion which lies at thc very ioot and fountaiu ot re? publican representative liberty, I cannot per? ceive how tho intelligont German, from the peculiar structure and preparation which Iiis people bring from homo to this country, cati hesitate to reject that political policy "which would surround him by tho very evils and errors which he encountered exile to avoid. In conclusion, allow mo to say that I am re? joiced to see my German fellow-citizens arous? ed, aud sensitive for the preservation of the principles of the Constitution and the Union of the groat country of which they voluntarily sought to bocorao citizens by adoption. I believe that thc Gorman clement in this coun? try has,and will continuo to have, a greit part in common, not only with other welcome foreign? ers, but with tbe nativocitizm, in the develop? ment of tho future grandeur and power of tho American States. And thc time will come whon their Germanic-American posterity will look back, with slowing pride and pleasure, to that period m tho history of America whon tho German patriot sousrht our shoros for tho homo and country of his adoption. Accopt, my friends, my grateful thanks for thc uniform kiudness and confidence which you havo manifested to mo aud min^ tor so many years; and lot mo assura you that it will always be a grateful duty and pleasure to me to promote your prosperity and happiness.
