NEWS SUMMARY.
. at
-Gold closed in New York yesterday at 33$
to33#. ;'.
-Cotton was unchanged and closed at noon
rate?, with sales of 2000. bales. ...
-In Liverpool cotton closed dull; uplands
12rL Orleans 12^d; sales 9000 bales.
-Ex-President Johnson has been obliged to
break several of bis engagements to speak in
Southern cities, on account of tbe death of bis
son, Robert Johnson.
-Mr. Edward A. Pollard ia destined soon to
appear before tho public again; this time as
the plaintiff in a snit of divorce against Mrs.
Pollard nee the Countess Nathalie de San Do?
mingo', j The evidence is now being prepared
and the case will come- up before the spring
term of the proper court in the City of New
York. This Btep-it ?B authoritatively stated
is preparatory to another trial of the matrimo?
nial noose.
-The Courrier des Etats Unis apprehends
that Hay ti and Liberia will not rate very highly
General Grant's compliment in sending them
ministers oT their own color. "Sweets to sweet"
is. very well in case of beauty and flowers; but
in the vulgar world nothing ?B more nause?
ating than a surfeit of sweets. The Courrier
fears th t the American Ambassadors will be
vie wc-i with the same eye that Mr. Buchanan
(Mr. Mason ?) looked op?n the Minister from
Hay Li, when, covered with; gold and feathers,
ho waa presented to Queen Victoria: "What do
yon think of that ?" said soma one to Mr. B. "I
think he would bring $1500in New Orleans."
-Tis cable bringa news that negotiations
between Franco and Belgium aro suspended.
' Some suppose that this intelligence means im?
mediate war, for Belgium would not dare to act
counter tq the wishes of France unless secret?
ly supported by Prussia. The papers say the
Belgian Minister was very graciously received
by tho Emperor, who made bis visitor sit di?
rectly before him and do the talking. It is a
habit of his Majesty when discussing matters
.of business, if near a fire, ti poke it inces?
santly. On ihia occasion he poked furiously
the only fact of tho interview that was made
known.
-It is said that Secretary Fish ha* assur?
ances that steps have already been taken by
England looking to the surrender of the brig
Mary Lowell. On the other hand, it is stated
by the New Yor? Herald that, this point being
settled, England will do all iu her power, with
^aetei ffl'fflgg spftff t?bMt?
rebellious Cubans in subjection. It is even as?
serted that a secret understanding has already
been entered into on the part of England and
France to soud a powerful fleet to the West In
? dies to' assist in preventing supplies from
reaching the Cabans, and thus enabling Spain
to starve out ber rebellious subjects.
-The shower bath punishment in the Ne tv
York prison is the one most dreaded by the
convict. He is placed on s seat, his neck put
in a sort of a yoke, his arms stretched to ihe
right and left, when the keeper pulls a cord,
and a large body of water continues to fall upon
his head mit il the keeper lets go of the cord.
It is claimed the water is shut offassoonas
the' convict promise amends. Sometimes such
a promise is extorted at once, sometimes not;
bat compliance comes sooner or later. The
power to bear up under the infliction differs in
different individua'-:.' One man will suffer terri
bly from a few galldng of water, and others will
take barrels and suffer less. One prison bas a
tradition of a negro who could endure several
hogsheads without wincing. It is said that
all,negroes are. affected by it less than any
other class, the water falling on their heads a
-long time as harmlessly as pattering rain on a
" tfuci'a back. Orainary mortals, however, can
me? boar ap under it, and those frequently sub?
jected tb it are always permanently injured.
In some constitutions it induces conjeation of
the brain and langs, immediate s tr s uguie
lion, 6x.
? -A New Orleans correspondent gives some
. account of the Coban filibustering expedition
now being organized in that oily. General
Steedman, Senor Diaz, General Hays and
Colonel Nixon are tho leaders of the force,
which numbers over a thousand men, camping
on different plantations in the neighborhood of
the city. The chiefs have further purchased
. two thousand rifles and two fall batteries of ar
JtiHery, and also hired a very fast steamer, a
former blockade runner, to bring them to the
northern coast of Cuba. This steamer has been
- reported since io have left for Cuba. They
"hope to be ablo to baffle by their steamer
..every pursuit, though, in case of need, they
- are-firmly resolved to give battle to any Span?
ish man-of-war which they may encounter.
There is plenty of money among the filibusters;
the rich planters arrived from Cuba and the
Mexican Consul, Senor Diaz, have provided
ampio funds for carrying out the expedition,
General Steedman having also contributed
15000. Senor Diaz, in the negotiations with |
tho Cubans, serves as interpreter and negotia?
tor, while Steedman occupies himself with the
organization of the corps only, which will con?
sist of two divisions, commanded by Genoral
Hays and Colonel Nixon. A splendid Cuban
flag, made of silk by the wife of Senor Diaz,
was presented to the officers of the corps in'
, Senor Diaz's house. That the enterprise will
meet with difficult?ee in leaving New Orleans
is hardly to .be believed, the customhouse offi?
ciais being all in favor of the Cuban cause.
Moreover; the corps is made up of men who
have scented battle-fields, and who are not ia*
timidated by Spanish troops or Spanish sur?
veillance.
-Our Western exchanges are full of details
of the great tornado which visited that section
of the country on the 19th inst. The St. Louis
Democrat says : "The bail-stones were on an
average about the size of marbles, while many
.of them were as large as pigeon's eggs. The
ha? fell thick aod fast for several min?tes,
^covering the ground and the fl.t housetops,
"breaking windows and street lamps beyond
enumeration. It is difficult to estimate the
damage, but it can hardly be less than $100,000.
The hail caine down so thick and in such large
globes that the sky was darkened and the air
had a milky appearance, as though the whole
? milky way bad broken loc -.nd was dropping
jjhofe upon tho ground. \ae shower of ice
created a laud, roaring hiBsiug noise, while tb
wind howled around the housetops, slammc
ehutters, wrenched signs from their fastei

panes of glass in tho exposed front of th
Broadway Hotel, only r;:e escaped demol

of tho storm, it is stated on the authority <

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 1869.
A State Press Association.
It ?B proposed by the Anderson Intelli
gencer, the Barnwell Journal, and othe
country papers, t'> at a convention be hell
in Charleston at an early day for the pur
pose of forming a State Press Association
Doubtless it is pleasant for the member
of the press, who are working in a commoi
canse and for the good of their people, t<
meet together and consider the questions o
the day, and discuss what measures ar?
most likely to advance thc interests of th?
craft. Au interchange of opinions, and tht
more thorough understanding which growt
out of personal intercourse, are always
valuable and to be desired. But when it ii
suggested that a permanent organization be
formed, it is just as well to inquire at once
what in reason it could be expected to ac?
complish.
In political matters it would seem that
the proposed association would be of no
avail, because tobe the representative o?
the press of the State it must include both
Democratic aud Republican newspapers.
Of established Republican papers in South
Carolina there are, we believe, but two
the Orangeburg News and the Darlington
Southerner, and this last we class as Re?
publican more on account of its .tone and
temper of late than of any formal profes?
sion of party faith. The.e t wo papers, at all
events, would become members of the asso?
ciation if they so desired, and it would
seem to be impracticable, oven if it were
desirable, to form a coalition for the dis?
semination of any particular class of politi?
cal principles. Every editor, confident in
shape out the policy of his own paper, and
none, we presume, would be disposed to
follow the line which a convention might
choose to mark out. Things political, then,
being counted out, the only practical topics
that would remain for consideration would
be those of general newspaper management.
If the country press desire and are pre?
pared to establish a telegraphic news sys?
tem for the State, arrangements might
probably be made to accomplish that end.
A distributing agent at Charleston could
send news to all points with which
there is telegraphic communication, and,
doubtless, at a moderate cost. We do not
know, however, whether anything of the
kind is wanted, and can only assure our
contemporaries that in this matter wc would
give them, with or without an association,
all the assistance ia our power.
And in regard to general newspaper man?
agement, embracing rates of wages, and
rates of subscription and advertising, the
association would have bat little real foroe.
It is desirable in the extreme, for instance,
that there should, in all cases, be a rigid
adherence to the system of requiring pay?
ment of subscriptions ia adavuoe. The
proprietors of THE NEWS adopted this plan
more than twelve months ago, and it haa
proved a signal success. There can be but
one opinion as to its advantages ia securing
newspaper proprietors against loss; for a
subscription bill is almost as difficult to
collect as a doctor's bill; but if there are
reasons, good or bad, which have prevented
a paper, up to this time, from adopting the
cash system, they would hardly be over?
come by any resolution of a press associa?
tion. The same may be said in regard tc
advertising rates and other kindred sub?
jects.
Even supposing, however, that those ob?
jections can be overcome, a greater diffi?
culty remains. There should be absolute
free trade in newspapers. Each proprietor
should be at liberty to fix his own rates of
subscription and determine the price at
which he can afford to sell his advertising
space. If he likes to give away his paper
and charge treble rates for his advertise?
ments, it is his affair and not that of his
neighbors. The course pursued by TUE
NEWS is a case in point. In January, 18C8,
the subscription price of THE DAILY NEWS
? was reduoed from $10 per annum to $6 per
annum; but the credit system was abolished,
and the payment of subscriptions invaria?
bly io advauce was required. Many of our
contemporaries declared that it was absurd
to attempt to publish a daily newspaper at
$0 a year. What has been the result ? Our
paid circulation is larger to-day than ever
before, and is steadily and rapidly increas?
ing, while our cash receipts from subscrip?
tions in 1868, even at the reduced price,
were much larger than the receipts in 1S67,
at the high price. We have faith in cheap
and good newspapers, and try to show our
faiU by our works; tut we would not pre?
sume to advise any of our contemporaries
to adopt the plan which we have found so
wise. What we desire to say, then, ia that
the proposed association, in our opinion,
could do no practical good, unless it could
establish some uniform rule of newspaper
management, and that the establishment of
such a rule would be, to say the least, of
! doubtful expediency, because it is beet for
every man to manage his business in his
own **ay.
In no c?mse must we be understood as
being prejudiced against the proposed con?
vention. Our contemporaries think that
the subject should be talked over, and we
have given frank expression to our views.
Something, however, may have been ex?
pected to be done of .which we have no
knowledge, and we shall be pleased if tho
country press will explain more fully what
they hope to accomplish by the formation
of the State Association*
The Agricultural Convention.
The State Agricultural Convention wjJJ
assemble in the Carolina Hall, at Columbia,
at ll A. M. to-morrow. It is important to
transact the business of the Conventic ts
rapidly as possible^ and this can only oe
accomplished by meeting early and punc?
tually, and working late. The up-country
will be represented in solid phalanx, and
we trust that the delegation from the sea?
board will be steady and strong.

YOU Ul'ti UT TU l.VSL'KE I N TUC
CHARLESTON BRANCH
LIFE ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA,
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS :
1st Because it is a borne institution in each State.
It is miubgcd and controlled by your own citizens.
When you insure in thc Asscciatiou you know thu
men with whom you are dealing._
' tbTE?anm lhc~U_Jt'"_"Stales tintions Tts Tunds in
tbe States from which they are derived.
3d. Because it is a purely mutual society, in which
all policy holders have a voto in tbe election ot
its directors, and each share ia its profits or earn?
ings. Its large and increasing assets belong exclu?
sively to the policy holders.
4tb. Because its rates arelcwer than those of most
other sound and reliable companies. And because
its dividends will be larger.
5th. Because it invests its funds at high ratos of
interest (averaging ten per cont.) while Eastern com
p mies invest at low rates of int eren (averaging less
than seven per cent) This makes the dividends of
tbe Associ?t on much larger ond the rates of pre?
mium smaller. One hundred dollars improved at
six per cent, for fifty ) ears will amount to $1,842 01.
Tho same amount invested for tho same time at 'on
per cent, will produce $11,730 09. Difference in favor
of the ten per cent, lnve? tment $9,807 08. This
seems incredible, but calculate it, or refer to a com?
pound Interest table, and you will find it correct.
6tb. because you ought to insure in a successful in?
stitution, and the Lile Association of America ls ac
knowledged by all parties-its rivals ond enemies a*
well as ita friends and supporters-to be by far tho
most successful life insurance institution of its age
In tho United States.
