NJBWB 8 VMM A JIT. - Gold closed yesterday at New York *t 31*. -Cotton at New York closed yesterday, sales 2000 bales, at 28$. -The Liverpool cotton market closed firmer but not higher; sales 12.000 bales; uplands 12d; Orleans 12?d. -A Washington telegram says : "Tho ap? pointment of Mr. Thomas L. Tullock, who is seoretary of the Republican Executive Com? mittee, as ch ef of the appointment division of the Treasury Department, is regarded here as a positive indication that all the Conservative and Democratic clerks in the department are doomed to the official guillotine." -In a recent lecture on co-operation, Mr. Greeley alluded to the large number of co-ope? rative tallering establishments in successful operation in London, and stated that the clothing which he had on (as he did so the speaker carefully stroked his old white coat) was purchased in one of the above-mentioned establishmen s during a visit to that oity twenty years ago, come the 24th of tho present month. That coatis almost of age. : H -The most notable instance of sang froid that we have read of lately was the message sent the othor day to T mitchell,the condemned Philadelphia murderer, by:vhis? .wife. This cheerful dame wbo, as our readers will remem? ber, was acquitted, on the score of a doubt in the minds of the jury, of the crime for which her husband now lies' under sentence of death, recently remarked to a clergyman who was about to visit the condemned : "By the way', when you see George <her husband) please ask him where he would like to be buried after he is hanged." -Washington corrospondents say that an official announcement has been made that the presence of postmasters in Washington will be considered as a proof that they are negleoting their duties by being absent from their places, and that new men will be appointed to fill them. A special exeeption ja made in the case of the postmaster at Covington, Kentuoky, the father of the President, who draws an annual salary of $3500, and who has been pr?tent in the ??ou-*o for several days, patiently listening to tho B&d ioal deflaaees hurled at his son. -Persons who may be thinking of emigra? ting to the White Pine region on account of the glowing descriptions of the enormous yield of siver from the mines, would do well first to study'the following statement by a San Francisco paper, of the prices which are paid in the White District for staple articles: Lum? ber, from $260 to $800 per thousand; hay, $800 per tea; barley, fifteen cents per pound; flour, $16 per cwt.; bacon, forty-five cents; salt pork, forty cents; beans, twenty-eight cents; sugar, thirty-five cents; ooffee, seventy cents; tea, $1 69 per pound; butter, $.1; cheese, forty cents; rice, thirty-eight cents; fresh meats, from twenty-two to forty' cents. -It is understood the administration has determined to surrender the warrants of par? don issued by Mr. Johnson, and recalled by President Grant, only in oases where the par? don is unconditional. In cases where the pardon was granted upon performance of cer? tain stipulations or conditions, the recalled pardons are to be retainer], and the prisoners for whom they were issued are to be held in custody as though no pardon had been issued from President Johnson. The theory is that where the pardon is unconditional it is be? yond tie control of the Exeoutive after it has passed from his hands in such case, the mere petition of the party seeking Exeoutive olem eaoy being construed as an acceptance of the pardon; but where the pardon is dependent upon a compliance with certain conditions, an absolute acceptance of the terms of those con? ditions is, on the part bf the prisoner, deemed necessary t > give effect to the pardon. -The New Orleans Times thus refers to a painful misfortune which has befallen one of the most gifted sons of Louisiana: "Yesterday a petition was presented to Judge Duvigneaud by Messrs. Char vet and Duplantior, praying that Pierre Soule be interdicted and that a curator be appointed to take charge of his affairs. The petition alleges his permanent and complete prostration and incapacity. This distressing misfortune has long been known in the community. From delicacy to his esteem? ed family, it has not been regarded as proper to be referred, to in the pnblio prints. This reason can no longer suppress the expression of our profound sorrow and sympathy for the distinguished gentleman and his afflicted fami? ly. - The unhappy condition of Mr: Soule has been pr oduced by family sorrows of the most distressing character. His only son some time ago manifested symptoms of mental aber? ration. These have become permanent, and now both father and son demand the incessant care of ??voted relatives aud friends." j -Mr. Fisk is fighting hard for the possession of Commodore Vanderbilt's title-"The Great Ballway Sing." He now asks the New York Legislature fora law authorizing the Erie Ballway Company to consolidate with all the roads it bas bought or leased, extending from New York to Chicago and Cincinnati, including "the property ol' tho Long Dock Company, the Paterson .and Hudson Bi ver Railroad, the Pat? erson and Bain apo Byroad, tho Paterson and Newark Railroad, and the Northern Railroad in the State ol New Jersey, the New York and Newbury Railroad, the Buffalo, New York and Erie Railroad, tbe Rochester and Genessee Talley Railroad, and the Chemnng Railroad in the State of New York ; tho Hawley Branch Railroad, the Jefferson Railroad in Buffalo, Biadford and Pittsburg Bailroadin the State of Pennsylvania, tho Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, extending from Sala? manca, in the State of New York,, through tho States of Pennsylvania and Ohio, to Cleveland and Dayton ht the last named State; the Cin? cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, the Day? ton and Michigan Railroad, in the State of Ohio, and a contemplated Une of railroad be? tween West Salem and Toledo, ?leo in the State of Ohio, and thence to Chicago, in the State of Illinois," The New York papers are much incensed at thia pioposal, and oppose it to the best of their ability, "lt? result," say they, "will be to make Mr. Fisk dictator and drive away business . that would otherwise cluster around the natural centre of the trade, commerce and finances of the country." -Frome recent article in the Columbus, Ga., Son, we leam that (diet city is making rapid strides in cotton manufacturing, and bids fair to be the Lowell of the South in this respect. In tho last six months over $600,000 ot additional stock has been subscribed to mann factories, and at least two-thirds of that j amount paid in. Six weeks ago the Eagle and ] Pheonix Company advertised for $450,000 worth o? stocV to bnild another mill of equal capacity with the present one. As we have stated, con? siderably over that amount has been obtained, and many thousands of dollars-enough to build another small factory-refused. The Muscogee Company have raised $120,000, all they wanted, in the same time, and the Columbus Factory all it desired, some $40,000. For some time past the Eagle and Phoenix, the Columbus and the steam facto? ries have been running 13,000 spindles and many looms. The Musoogee Company have a largo brick building already completed, and will have 4000 spindles in it by next fall-all at work. The additional mill of tho Eagle and Phoenix Company will be in operation in less than a yeer. Thus, by next winter, ' 19,000 Bpindles will be running in Columbas, consu? ming, on an average, twenty bales of cotton per day; and, besides cotton, adargo variety of woollen goods will be manufactured. By next summer, at least 28,000 spindles will be in ope? ration. The people there are taking hold of matters in earnest, and are not waiting for the action of Northern capitalists. All the money needed can he obtained in that section. ? CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1109. It lae xi from Commercial Death I Charleston is now feeling the healthy in? fluence of the profitable cotton orop of the year, which gave the producer the means of paying off a load of old debts and left him with some money in hand for the pur? chase of the comforts aa well as the neces? saries of life. As well as oan be learned from merchants, jobbers and railroad men, the spring busi? ness is the best that has been known einoe the close cf the war. The stores and ware? houses are lively with customers, the rail? road depots are filled with freight, the Whole city is bright and gay. Nor are the strange faces which are seen in the streets the least pleasing sign of the pro? gress we haye made. We have won baok this year customers from Georgia, from j Florida and from North Carolina, Whom we I had lost, and. the old current of trade is beginning to flow into the accustomed ol?an neis. And to the bustling business men may be added the hundreds ef tourists from the North and from Europe, who are spend? ing a few quiet days in Charleston. The hotels are so full that travellers have been refused quarters, and have had to shift for themselves in private houses. Ono hundred and fifty persons registered their names on Saturday for ? steamboat trip to Fort Sumter, Sullivan's Island and the Morris Island batteries. On every side there are signs of new life, signs that the day of awakening haB come, signs that the good old city is at last assuming her anoient rank as the prinoipal seaport on the South? ern Atlantic coast. We made haste slowly, and at times it seemed that, the reaction would never come. But we are stronger and wiser, and, we hope, more progressive, beoause of the very waiting and hoping whioh it has been so hard to bear. We mvst have learned to adapt our commercial selves to changing conditions and altered times. We must have learned that in these days men who desire business j must fight for it and win it. We should have learned that Charleston oannot be kept down, cannot be orushed, oannot be killed; that we have nothing to fear in the. long run from spasmodic competition, and that we have it in our power te make Charleston, within ten years, the port of import and export for the whole Southwest and the Paoiflo coast-a grand metropoli? tan oity, as far superior to the Charleston of to-day aa this present Charleston is su? perior te tho Charleston of one hundred years ago. And we shall retain our old nobility of spirit, our old purity of thought , our eld fidelity to the plighted word; for to us-though it may seem old-faahioned to aay so-the money and the lands, the orowded wharves and the lofty warehouses, would be dearly bought at the prioe of the.integrity of our people. A Distinction Wita a Difference, During the debate on the resolution to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in Lau? rene, Abbeville, Edgefield and Newberry, now indefinitely postponed, DeLarge, one of the colored represes*, at ives from Char lenton, "warned the members that they were tread? ing on dangerous ground and advised "them to ponder well before they gave their "vote in favor of a measure that struck at "the dearest liberties of the people. If it "ia true"-he said-"aa alleged, that in the "counties referred to, parties committing "crimes are allowed to escape without the "merited punishment, it is the fault of the "judges, and they should be impeached." Oil the other hand, Whipper,? Miohigan-born negro representative, said "ho favored the "resolution. 'Only a few days ago a mern "ber of the constabulary force was mur "dersd in Edgefield County, and when the "murderer waa arrested and brought to ? 'Columbia a. writ of habeas corput was asked "for, and thanks be to the sheriff he re "fused te obey the writ, well knowing, as "he did, that justice would not be done in "the caso. He knew, however, that action "would be brought against the sheriff, and "he would be fined; but he (Whipper) would "be willing at the next session to relieve "him of the penalty. He said it was neo "essary and right that the writ should be "suspended in the localities named." This we can understand. A "legislator" who thanks a sheriff fer refusing to obey a writ of hajseas corpus would naturally de? sire to tear from the white man every shadow of civil protection. And thia negro Whipper, who openly applauds a violation of the law of the State, and of the Consti? tution of the State, ia elected by the Gene? ral Assembly TO CODIFY TH? LAWS Ot SOUTH CAROLINA. - <e; ?? a? ii > ? n.. A PROCLAMATION has been issued by Governor Soott, directing all needful mea? sures to be taken to carry into effect the recent aot of the General Assembly, for the removal of the county ?eat of Barnwell County from Barnwell to the Town of Blackville. P?Olflo lin Uro? rt?. The report of thu majority of the Senate Committee on Paoiflo Railroads, made on Febiuary 19th, 1869, is an exhaustive argu? ment in favor of two additional trunk rail? roads to the Paoiflo-one from Lake Supe? rior to Puget's Sound; the other from Little Rook, in Arkansas, and from the terminus of the Kansas Paoiflo railway in Kansas, by the route of the thirty-fifth parallel, to San Diego and San Francisco. The report declares affirmatively that the bill reported by the majority of the committee was in? tended to he the finality of legislation in aid of Paoiflo railways; that after having provided substantially two additional trunk out lets-one for the Northern States and one for the Southern States-at suitable initial points, it was intended to atop there all Con? gressional aid, and leave to private enter? prise and State endowment the future con? struction of branches. The report shows at length and with a large array of statis? tics, derived from the experience of the influence of railways in England, Franoe, Belgium, Heiland and the United States, that they are the greatest of all modern agencies for the produotion of wealth and the devel? opment of trade and commerce. It demon? strates that the import and export trade of the prinoipal oountries in Europe are in precise proportion to the development of their railway systems, respectively; that the experience of Belgium, Franoe, Austria, Spain and Italy shewB that a tax on rail? way receipts is the best sinking fund thus far devised for the speedy payment of na? tional debts. It also shows that two addi? tional trunk railways to the Pacific are com? mercially necessary, demonstrating that a single line cannot do the work that will be thrown upon it; that additional lines, free from obstruction by snow, are needed to maintain uninterrupted intercourse; to pre? vent the evils of a monopoly; to avoid po? litical discontent in the Northern and South? ern sections of the Union; to bring the public domain into market; to increase im? migration from Europe; to quadruple our yield of gold and silver; to save two-thirds of the oost of wagoning supplies to the 109 military posts in the Indian oountry, whioh now amounts te about seventeen millions a year; to reduce by one-half the number of troops maintained in the Territories by the greater mobility the roads will give the remainder, and to practically end Indian ware, whioh the report shows oost the ooun? try during the last campaign about one mil? lion dollars a week. The majority of the oommittee urgently - recommend aid to the roads as a measure of immediate and last? ing economy to the government.- The report prev?s that it is safe - for the government to aid them, without referenoe to the inciden? tal advantages of doing so, by showing from the accounts of the Quartermaster's Depart? ment with the Kansas Paoiflo Railroad that upon an average use of 220 miles of the road its earnings for work done for the gov? ernment not only paid the interest on the bends advanoed to the road and provided the sinking fund to redeem them, bat brought the government in debt to the road. The report opposes grants hereafter of government aid like that giren to the Union Pacific and Cen? tral Pacific, in bonds directly issued, but advocates a guarantee of the interest of the mortgage bonds of the two additional trunk Pacific roads, to be issued to a de? fined and limited extent. It declares that they are military, eommer?ial and political necessities, and concludes with tke aver? ment tkat the people demand their construc? tion, and do not, as has been alleged, par? ticipate in, or sympathize with, the recently raised outcry against Pacifio Railway aid. _^JIHPoittM._ WANTED, A RESPECTABLE YOtRO WOMAN to Nurse and do Chamber work must bring good references.
