Clark, a Texan millionaire, died recently without leaving a will, and bis im- . men se estate was sold for the benefit of the State treasury, there being no known heirs. Several parties are now attempting to provo, ' however, that they are his heirs. -Pr?sident Grant has given orders to om i naval commanders at Havana tb aee to tho pro- : tection of American citizens in Cuba, and he - has also given orders that will prevent filibus- , taring banda leaving this country tor Cuba. This is as it sboul \ be. -A dispatch to tbe Now York Tribune says : '< "It ia rumor- >d by General L mgstreet's friends 1 that he will bold tho pla .o of Surveyor of the i port of New Orleans for only a short time, and i should Geo?.ral Sickled decline the Mexican ? mission, Longstreet will be nominated for that . place." -A writer in the Obio Farmer says that after the horse is nine years cid a wrinkle comes on the eyelid, and every year thereafter he has an j additional weil dctined wrinkle on the same 1 spot. If, for instance, a horse nas'.three wrin? kles he is twelve, if four he is thirteen. Add , the number of wrinkles to nine and you will always get the age. As a good many people nave horses over nine, it is easily tried. -The New York Tr"bune says : "Count Fa- 1 Terney, First Secret' ? of the French Lega- < rion, is now stopping at the Albemarle Hotel, < cn a visit from Washington. He will remain , in the metropolis three weoks, at the expira- , ?tion of which time he will return to Washing- , ton to take cb arge of the Legation and to rep? resent his country as Charge d'Affaires. M. Berth edy, the present Minuter, leaves for 1 France in a few days on an indefinite conge, i with no intention of resuming the position ; near our government." - : -An.English actress, named Miss Marriott, ^playing Hamlet at a New York theatre. The Werld says of the personation : "She ia a Ham? let with swelling bust and rounded hips, m ' whose voice, even where employed to utter 1 man's emotions, there is a constant echo of ' maternity; whose arms have the woman's i grace, but not the man's executive ewing, and j which, with all the advantage of professional j training, ace constantly reminding us that they , were better made for caressing than for .wrestling. In a word, to the credit of her na- 1 ture, if not of her profession, she is doing a 1 .virile part without virility." < -=??A Washington letter, of Tuesday, says : ^If .it'is possible, Mr. Sherman will try to se? cure the passage this session of the bill re? ported from the F ma nco Committee, to pay sundry revenue officers appointed in the South J nat after the war, w'ho were unable to take the ?test oath. These officials were appointed be- i nause of the inability of Secretary Mcculloch to find loyal Southern men competent to do the work; they collected several millions for the government which would not have been 'received otherwise, and their compensation is a matter of justice which was recom? mended by the President more than three yews ago." -1 -The confirmation by the Senate of General James B. Longstreet as surveyor of the port -of New Orleans was by a vote of 25 to 10-but ' one more than a quorum. The South Carolina senators were divided, Sawyer favoring and Robertson opposinsr. The majority Ot the Southern senators favored Longstreet. Wbon the vote was taken, it is stated, several sena? tors paired off, and it was lucky for Longstreet the vote was had at the time, as in a few min? utes more the Senate would havo beon left without a qnorum, the senators dropping out one by one. Yet the vote for ?onfirmation was a strong one, thero being 15 majority, and would indicate, at least, that thc Republicans are willing to reward Southern leaders who be? come members of tbeir party and supporters of their policy. This-and nothing more. -A Washington telegram says: "The Se? lect Committee on Political Disabilities, re? cently created by the Senate, holds daily meet? ings and has its hands pretty full, as nume? rous petitions for removal of disabilities come in daily. The law now requires every person desiring his disabilities removed to make ap? plication over his own signature; and many of those who have steadfastly refused heretofore to allow any application to be made in their behalf by others are now applying personally. Th? committee consists of seven members, and the work of examining the varions applica? tions, and the papers submitted therewith, is divided as equally as possible among tho dif? ferent members, who then report their conclu? sions to the committee. It is probable that before the end of this week the committee will report quite a big list as fit subjects for remo? val of disabilities." -On Majrch 23 the Emperor Napoleon pre? sided at the Council of State, on which occa? sion he delivered the following address : "It is the duty of the government resolutely to sat? isfy a just desire for improvement, and firmly to repress all subversive theories, which are both unlawful and culpable. Many improve- * i mema havo already boen effected; but whi tho hidden wounds of the most prospero people are probed, beneath an appearance prosperity, many undeserved casos of distre arc discovered. Great problems still remo to be solved, and their solution requires t co-operation of the whole intellect of tho cou try. The suppression of the system of woi men's books, (ltorris), will complete a seri of measures in favor of the working classe I do not anticipato being able to overcome : prejudices and disarm all ill-foeling. I do n reckon upon increasing my popularity; but ' hope to acquire fresh energy to resist evil pa ! sions, when all useful improvements have bei effected. Where everything has been don order can be maintained with more authorit sinoe power will then lean on reason, and st isfaction be Riven to the public conscience." "CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 1860. Southern Industrial Convention. It is stated by the New York Commerci Advertiser that arrangements are in pr gress for holding a convention in Memph at an early date, for the purpose of deve oping the ri?er, railroad and canal in provements of the South, and also to pri mote direct trade with Europe. The meai for the construction of a railroad from tl Mississippi River to the Pacific coast, ovf a route that will not be liable to be obstru? ted at any season of the year, will be cn sidered, and as the plan of Southern icc provement and development is of nations interest and importance, it is expeoted ths every locality and industry will be reprc sented. No day, as far as our informatio goes, has been appointed for the assemblin of the convention, and we speak of it nen mainly for. the purpose of bringing th subject to publio attention, so that Charles ton and South Carolina may not be duml when Louisiana, Georgia and Virginii speak. The West has been the objective point o the merchants and capitalists of this Stat? for more than a quarter of a century. Om first canal was projeoted cs a step towards cheap communication with Louisville and Cincinnati. Our first railroad was built with au eye to the trade of Ohio and Ten? nessee. The famous Blue Ridge Railroad, upon whioh millions have been expended, was aimed at the heart of the West. And to every undertaking whioh promised to make South Carolina the great highway ot iuterstatal oommeroe, the money of the State and city was lavishly subscribed This money was spent wif ely, perhaps, but not too well; and we only mention it now to remind our people that the goal is not yet reached, and that we must now expeot a stronger and more active opposition at avery point than we should have encoun? tered ten years ago. Then we were rich iud had a host of friends. Now we are for .he moment poor, and must make energy ind perseverance take the place of capital. This we must do if we determine merely to prevent a total loss of what has already been spent Tho West is as deeply interested in get? ting cheaply and expeditiously to the sea as we are in opening a channel of commu? nication with the West; with the difference that while there is more than one seaport to whioh may be shipped the varied pro? ina ts of the Western States, there is but me West to whioh Charleston may look for my startling increase in the volume of her trade. And the prospective building of the Southern Pacific Railroad makes greater the necessity of action; for to the business of the States along the Mississippi will be added, in time, the commerce of the Pacific and the vast Chinese Empire. This is the priie, and it is worth the fight. Aa is well known, our sister States are urging their claims to consid?ration, and press upon public consideration the ad? vantages of their respective seaports. It ls natural that each city should believe itself the most highly favored on the At? lantic coast, and that no one of its neigh? bors can equal it in the elements which make a seaport valuable. This is well enough; and in tho end there will be trade enough for us all; but if Charleston, with her natural position and acquired reputa? tion, and with so much already accomplish? ed, does not speak up as bravely as the best of them, she will deserve te fail and to have the grass grow in her streets as it did five years ago. In the matter of direct trade with Europe, we have done more than any other city south of Baltimore. This is an earnest of what we eau do. We hope, then, that a strong delegation strong in experience, strong in information, and strong in intelligence-will be sent from this city to the Memphis Convention, so that when pteans of Savannah and Nor? folk are sung, it may not be forgotten that there is still in existence the city which subsoribed $1,000,000 to the Blue Ridge Rallror. l, $500,000 to the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, $500,000 to the Mem? phis and Charleston Railroad, and which was the first oity in thc South to project and begin to construct a system of Western railroad connections. The Northeastern Railroad Company. The report of the President of thc North? eastern Railroad Company, published yes? terday, shows that there was a decrease of $23,000 in the total receipts of the year ending February 28, 1889, as oompared with the receipts of the previous year. As had been expeoted, the chief falling off was in the freight business, whioh, with the passenger business, was seriously affected by the impoverished condition of the coun? try through whioh the road passes. The Board very properly lowered their ratea in order to encourage business, and gave every needful accommodation to the travelling publio; and although these movements did not, for the reasons already given, check the decrease in the gross reoeipts, they must, as busine&a and travel revive, largely augment the earnings of the company. A liberal and progressive policy, tempered with discretion, is the most advantageous for the bondholders as well as the stock? holders of every Southern road. The road during the year was managed with the greatest eoonomy and care, and notwithstanding that there was so large a falling off in gross reoeipts. there ia an in crease in net earnings of $3000. Tliis is a practical proof of good management, as the road and rolling stock have been kept throughout in a stale of thorough repair. The proposition of the Board for the ar? rangement of the band debt will, wc pre? sume, be acquiesced in by tho bondholders. Thc road is now beiug worked in their in? terest, and a refusal to agree to the plan proposed would only involve them in a litiga? tion which would seriously impair the money value of their property. At this time the road is in a condition to earn steadily the interest on its debt, and, when the Savannah and Charleston Railroad is completed, should bc able to provide by degrees for all its liabilities. The suggestions of the Board of Directors in regard to the South Carolina Central Railroad were promptly acted on by the stockholders, and a resolution was adopted authorizing a stock subscription to tho new company. The South Carolina Central Railroad, as it is called, will run from Sum? ter through Manning to Gourdin's Station, and would make Sumter by rail 51 miles nearer to Charleston than Wilmington. This would give the new line and this city the benefit of the trade of tho districts of Sumter and Clarendon; and although the Wilmington roads might be tempted to carry freight 146 miles to Wilmington for the price at which it would be carried 95 miles to Charleston, they would soon find that with time, distance and a larger market against them, freight would still seek this oity. We hope that this new road will be carried through, and that the Sumter and Claren? don papers will agitate ! agitate ! agitate ! until the work is begun. GOVERNOR SCOTT doesn't like the style of thc editorials of THE NEWS. He thinks them "milk and water" productions. To judge by the complexion of the social gatherings at the Executive Mansion, he would have been better pleased by some? thing on the " milk and molasses" order.
