Sales 2100 bales at 28ja29c. -At Liverpool cotton closed quiet; uplands on the spot lljd, afloat ll?d; Orleans 11}alJj]d. Sales 10,000 bales. _"Lincoln Avenue" has been created in Washington, by changing tho name of the thoroughfare heretofore- known as "Four and-a-half street.'' -More than . one-fifth of the order of Jesuits are now in the United States, and the members of other Catholic orders are coming to this country in great numbers. -One thousand mites of the Union Pacific Railroad are now in actual operation, and only two hundred and fifty miles remain to be built. -Don Piatt, Washington corespondent of the Cincinnati Commercial (Republican), says: ? *We have no end of rogues, and an equal num? ber of asses in our organization, that would steal the last cent from the treasury, and drive UH to the devil." -The New York Board of Health has adopt? ed an ordinance forbidding the sale of kero? sene oils and other burning fluids unless they shall take fire at one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit and not ovolvo explosive material at a temperature of one hundred degrees. -The Rev. Mr. Murray, a young man re? cently settled over the Park-street Church in Boston, startled his staid parishioners the other Sunday by inserting a petition in his prayer that the Lord would also "bless those middle-aged females in tbe congregation whose youthful hopes bad been disappointed." -Tho Rev John A tottj of West Virginia, has invented a camera .jr taking photographs of the earth's surface from ?ny desired height. It is sent up by a ba loon, with a clock work to open and shot it at the right elevation, and when it is pulled down the photographic im? pression is dono. It is thought it will be of great use in war. -Tho Judges of the United States Supreme Court wcro in consultation on Friday and Saturday, on the legal-tendor case. The dis? cussion of the jadgeB was quito extended, but no decision has been reached. Tbe consulta? tion has developed the fact, howover, that thors will be two opinions prepared, but at this time it is unknown upon which side the majority opinion will be made. Future con? ferences will decide this and who shall be selected to prepare thc opinions. -General Grant authorizer tho statomoot that he has not in any way, in conversation or otherwise, made known his preferences for the persons to fill his Cabinet. He has uniformly indicated that he would take no action ci tho subject until ofter be shall receive official noti? fication of his election, which notification can? not reach him for about a month from this date. There is the same authority for saying that General Grant has not intimated an opin- 1 ion as to what course should be taken by tho Senate relative to nominations made bj Mr. Johnson, nor what offices should bo left in abeyance until after the fourth of March. -Commodore Vanderbilt says that the secret of his success in managing railroads is econo? my. He says : "If 1 cannot use the capital of that road (New York Central) tor pretty nigh $2,000,000 better than any one that has over ; been in it, then I do not want to bo on the road. If you have been running a road, and yon spend nine or ten millions to rou it, if I cannot do lt for eight, and do it as well, I am ready to go from the road. That has been ' my principle with steamships. I never had any advantage of anybody in running steam- ; ships; but if I could not run a steamship i alongside of another man, and do it as well as < he, for twenty per cent, less than it cost bim, I , would leave the ship." -An attempt was mado the other day in tho House to secure pay for the members from the ' reconstructed States for the full term of the ' Fortieth Congress. The resolution, as drawn, f included only the Arkansas members, but was < equally applicable to all the rest. It recited ^ the precedents of the Louisiana and Tenuessee ] members in tho Thirty-seventh Congress, when both States were also represented in the Con? federate Congress, and tho case or thc Tannes- 1 see members in the Thirty-ninth Congress, < who were admitted during tho second year of 1 the term, butreceived pay for the full torm. < After numerous motions, the House evaded < responsibility of a direct vote by referring it to , the Reconstruction Committee, though no? body could see what they have to do with it. -The latest ind most horrible form of sui- ? oide is that chosen by a young girl in Danby, 2 111., about twenty-five miles from Chicago, t last Thursday evening. She threw herself un- t der a railroad train, which passed over hor, \ severing her hoad from the body, and throw? ing it several feet away, and also cutting off . one of her feot and crushing ooo arm. The 1 caiue of tho terrible act is said to be the rc- ' fosal of thc parents to allow the poor girl to I marry a young man to whom sh? was attached. A letter was round in the pocket of her dress directed to her lover, bidding him an affec- '. tionate good-bye. The suicide was commit- i ted after dark, and the girl .apparently threw < herself under the oars instead of before tho . engine. i -New York has a number of "velooipod*" schools. Each school has three classes-one fer beginners, one for t'noso who can ride without tumbling every few minnies, and ono for those who are nearly ready to make their debut in tho street. These schools are well patronized, and tbe managers are miking money. When the roads harden after the spring thaws, the voIo:iped33trhu3 will infest every nighway and byway. Already we hear ofsomocletks and merchants making their way down town in tho morning on volo upedes and by n xi May we shall meet them coming in from the country m the samo fashion. At least ten thousand who do business in New York live in the suburbs; and it costs them from fifty to tw o hundred dollars a year to come in and j>o ont during tho summer. They can save moiey by buying velocipedes, which cost from $63 to $150 each, and will soon bc cheaper, learning to ride them, and then travel? ling on their own steeds. Tho number of velocipedes now in uso in New York is about two hundred and fifty, and in a few months it wi 1 probably b- :ncroosed to two thousand. 1 The demand for themis so great that the man? ufacturers havo moreorderajon hand than they can fill in two months. - I -An eating match against time is the latest novolty in the New York" spoiling world, which, judging from its description in the Tribune, must have been a most disgusting exhibition. Two woeks agc,~a beT of $50 w?'. Th?de thaTtt certain notorious gourmand would eat three dozen hard boiled - eggs, without drink of any kind, within the space of thirty-six minutes. The match came off Satuiday. The first 17 eggs were bolted whole in Hi minutes. The eighteenth stuck fast in the throat ; tbe ope? rator gulped painfully, but the obstruction would not stir. Tho sufferer soizsd the iron handle of tho saucepan which containod the, boiled eggs, and was about to inject the ob? struction when the opposite party called "foul." Tho umpire, with extraordinary judicial persp cacity, rondered his decision-that the operator might inject or eject at pleasure by mechanical aid, but tho eggs so injected or ejected would not count. Ho went on to give his reasons, and got to the "thirdly," when the suffocating wretch, now purple in the face as the gills of a male turkey, eyes distended outsido their sockets, breathing etentoriously, bolted [thc recalcitrant egg with the handle of the saucepan. Seventeen regular eggs and a blank in sixteen and three-quarter minutes. The eater sank into a chair entirely exhausted, with stomach in a volcanic state. After two minutes rest, three more eggs were bolted in manifest pain, eyes running water, and thc whole frame twitching spasmodically. Twenty four eggs in twenty-five minutes, and the ope? rator throws up thc sponge and is taken away by his backers. CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING. JANUAHY 29, 1669. Tlie President of the South Carolina Railroad Company. We publish this morning a preamble and resolutions adopted at the last quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Company, in which is expressed the high opinion entertained by the board of the services rendered to the company by its President, Mr. W. J. Ma? grath. The terms of the resolutions explain the general nature of the work which Mr. Magrath bas performed, but to the words of the directors, who know better than the pub? lic can know what were the difficulties to eurmount and the opposition to overcome, we may add the expression of our own con? viction that Mr. Magrath has not only re? trieved the fallen fortunes ol the South Car? olina Railroad Company, but has also been instrumental in the promotion and advance? ment of every commercial and business in? terest of this city and State. The South Carolina Railroad Company, which at the close of the war was in a bank? rupt condition, is now financially strong, and in a fair way of relieving itself of the burden of indebtedness which has pressed so heavily upon the attention of its manage? ment. The road itself has been rebuilt, the ravages of war have been repaired, and there is not now in the whole Southern States a railroad moro thoroughly equipped, or bet-' ter prepared^) meet the exigencies of a grow? ing business. The floating debt of the com? pany has, we believe, been virtually extin? guished, the reconstruction account is closed, and the prospect is bright that tho road will soon become actively and permanently pro? fitable. And every step which has been taken has been of benefit to the city and State, as well as to the company. The South Carolina Railroad has met foreign opposi? tion with tact and vigor; it has carried the war of trade into the country of the enemy; it has been generous in its outlay of money to draw business over its road to thc seaport of South Carolina; it has carried the sign of the Palmetto to the banks of the Mississippi, and h '.8 made Charleston the port of entry and shipment for the freight of Mobile, New Orleans and Vicksburg, as well as Memphis, St. Louis and the whole mighty West. And, in behalf of the State at large, the South Carolina Railroad has fought, without fear or favor, against every project for carrying trade away from the State, be? ing animated, not by petty rivalry, but by the feeling that we must work for South Carolina as Georgia works for Georgia, and Virginia works for Virginia, if we would iiave our State as prosperous, as honora lie, as rich, as free from reproach. We ilready feel the effects of the broad and comprehensive policy which has inspired ,he management of the South Carolina Rail ?oad Company; we begin to unterstund low much has been done in the face of jeer ind reproach, and now say, iu the words of >ne of the resolutions before u?, thst we 'regard this improvement as due chiefly to 'the able administration of the President 'of the South Carolina Rtilroad Company, 'Mr. William J. Migrath." Mr. Magrath himself has doubtless been mstained, through the trials and labors of fears, by the consciousness of his own puri y of purpose, and the confident belief that ?me, which setteth all things ar'ght, would ie at last his surest vindication. Time ind events have justified his policy, and he s now spoken of by his board in a manner which is as generous as it is just, as compli? mentary as it is well deserved. At tho regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Rail? road Company, held ia the City of Charleston, m tho evening of the 20th instant, L. D. DeSaussurc, Esq., presiding, as chairman pro icm., tho following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted, and ordered to be engrossed as a part of tho minutes of tho mec-ing : Whereas, At tho termination of tho lato war the proporty of thi? oompiny was in a ruinous conditionals treaeury was empty and its finances disordered; and, wliereas, tho Board ol' Direc? tors will now have the Batistaclion of submit? ting to the stockholders, at tho approaching annual convention, an account of their property highly satis'actory as to its presont condition, and equally promising in respect of its future prospects, Resolved, unanimously, That the Bmrd re? gard this improvement as duo chiefly to tho able administration of thc President, Mr. Wil? liam J. Masrath. Resolved, unanimously, That they take pleas? ure in expressing their tense of bis zeilou-< devotion to the interests of this company during ?t?o long period of twonty-threo years in wtiich ?3 bas been m its service, and of the eminent ability and success with which he has adminis? tered its affairs since ho was elevated to the honorable position of President. .f ' Ode European cbusintfare accustomed 'dread, the wink of King William or sneeze of Emperor Louis, as ominous por tents of the immediate avenging of "Le Vaterloo," or tho coming of a continental war. But they may be~? little "surprised lo find that in' this Republican country every "word" of'G'eneral Grant is listined to as anxiously as though the President elect the likeness of a kingly crown had on, and were the master absolute of half a million of sol? diers. We admit that this hero-worship is some? what strange on the part of a people who do not allow their ambassadors to wear knee-breeches, and who sturdily proclaim their rererenoe for simple Benjamin Frank? lin. And yet we have a good excuse, a brave excuse, why we now act as though the fate of these United States depended on the will of one man alone. We have been in an unsettled condition for about eight years, during the greater part of which the life of thousands hung on the crook of a finger, and their liberties on the tinkling of a bell. We beoame accus? tomed to see the supreme law of the land torn and patched to suit the exigencies of the times. For a while a President was supreme, then a Minister was master, then Congress became lord of all, so that in our desire to forget that the government of the country bad been entrusted to three co-or? dinate powers, and measured our chances for thc future by what was said tc done by the demi-god of the day. And it is just this feeling that causes us to count the wreaths of smoke which surround the head of the "Coming Man," to see tribulation in a frown, joy in a smile, and the fruition of all our hopes in a mono? syllabic speech. We have grown accustom? ed to being well shaken before taken, and pin our faith to General Grant for the very good reason that wo might go further and fare much worse. But this will not endure in this shape forever and a day. There will be a change before long, and either the Union will be? come the Union of old, or the shadow of Republican institutions will be sent to keep company with the substance which some time since departed. In the meanwhile, Democrats and Repub? licans will keep a close eye upon the Presi? dent eleet, and interpret all that he does not say as a promise of better days to come. They will watch every word of the favorite of fortune, and, like good Republicans, con? tinue to worship the powers that be, no matter what some folks say. Tuc Magazines.
