It is sup? posed to be the "Grapeshot." -JA intensely ritualistic service, commemo? rative of the "Guild of the Holy Groes," waa performed at Christ Church, New York', on Monday. The church waa dark), wish the ex? ception of the altar sad chancel, which were brilliantlyillnm mated with gsa and wax can? dle?. Four lofty wax candles lighted up the altar, and a croes .ahoye it, Aa th's services OTxaed with a voluntary ?nd chant, a preces a?? et the choir, clergy, officers ?nd feJlowa of Uhe Guild, preceded by a little boy bearing a "Carosa, entered Gobi tfie vestry, clad in gowns and pha^rbjes. of black, red and blue, trimme? fvmn wb?io, gray and red "and a white cross on the breast.

'f ^SfflMj?a^^ the Phil? delphiaLedger, writing on Tuesday, thus xe? lera to the, report ed sailing of'au expedition from vbat port for Coba : "Ail. expedition for Chiba, numbering one hundred ricked mea, left this port at three o'clock this aftcruoon, in a coasting steamer, which is koowa to have ' been quietly taking en board a Targe quantity of ams and ammunition, at tbe foot of Chris? topher-street, North River, daring the past week or tea days. Each man is provided with ? rifle and uni form. The report is that the ex? pedition is the handiwork of the Caban Jon ta in this city. The United States marshal waa notified of these facts thia morning. He tele? graphed tbem at once to Secretary Fish, and asked for instructions, but with what result cannot be ascertained at this writing. As far as I can ascertain, there are but ten Americans . ajajjpf the party, ?O the rest being Cabans, .with the exception of six negroes. Their destination ia Dead Man's Island, one of the Florida Keys, and after debarking there, it is their intention to make for t he Cuban coast in small baata. The voyage, it is said, can be nude in four hours. The whole number or : rifles on board is said to be about five u ti? died. The stern of the steamer was covered . np with canvas as long as she laid at the .Christopher-street wharf, so that her name was . not visible to the public gaze. The news or tbe departure of the expedition creates a lively ?rjmrinn about town. Many are apprehen? sive that it will be overhauled by some of the ! numerous Spanish men-of-war in the Gmt be? fore it reaches its objective point. It is said that tbe United States authorities here have winked at this movement, which was no secret to somo of the marshal's deputies; bat whether this allegation is just or otherwise, time and inquiry w?l show. Meanwhile, the organ of the Junta, La Revolution, is out in a very bit? ter article with reference to the policy of tho United Stat a." -The New York Commercial Advertiser ssya that a proposition for the relief of the Americans sufferers by the depredations of the Alabama and other anglo-Confcdcrate priva? teers ia non receiving the careful considera? tion of the President, the members ot the Cabi? net and leading Congressmen. It involves the passage of a law at tho commencement of the session of Congress, in December next, autho? rizing tho appointment of a commission to audit and pass upon all American claims against" England for damages sustained by violation or evasion of the neutrality "laws during tbe recent civil war, The United States Government will then assume these claims, and present., them in , a single item in the account against Great Britain with a demand for immediate restitution. In case of a refusal, ulterior measures will be adopted which it is believed will be backed by the entire American people. This course is calculated to obviate the ahn oat interminable delays which usua H y attend the settlement of claims against foreign governments. Many of the Alabama claimants are poor, and according to precedent, rnany of them may be reduced to bankruptcy or death, before their jost claims oin bs-settled. The President is known to folly recognize their claims to the protection of the government, and is anxious to present the matter in a tangible shape to. the British authorities. These views are also shared by General Sherman. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1869. The May Elections. Under the proclamation of Governor Scott, dated April 19, 1869, the following elections of county officers will take place on May 25th ;.. . Io the County of Abbeville, two county com? missioners and a coroner. . In tbe County of Anderson, a school com? missioner and a coroner. In the County of Barnwell, a county commis? sioner and a school commissioner. ID the Coa a ty of Chester, a coroner. In the County of Chesterfield, a coroner. In the County of Colleton, a jadge of the pro? bate court and a coroner. , In the County of Darlington, a clerk of the court of oom m on pleas and a coroner. : - In the County of Edg ofield, a coron or. In tba County of Fairfield, a jadge of the probate court, a coroner and a connty com? missioner. In tbe Connty of Georgetown, two county commissioners and a coroner. In the County of Horry, a county commis missioner. In the County of Kershaw, a county com? missioner and a coroner. Ia the C J un ty of Laurens, a school commis? sioner and a coroner. In the Connty of Lexington, a county oona missioner and a ooroner. In the count? of Orangeburg, a school com? missioner and a coroner. In the Connty of Oconee, a coroner. In tho Connty of Pickens, a coroner. In the county of Richland, a school com? missioner and a coroner. In the County of Sumter, a coroner. In the County of Union, a coroner. . Inthe County of York, a county commis? sioner and a coroner. These offices are important, because of the powers entrusted to the persons who hold them, in matters of education and county taxation. -Upon the way in which these offices ara filled will depend, in a great degree, whether our local affairs are conducted with tba view of securing the moat benefit, at the least cost, or for the purpose of stir ring op antagonism of race and niling the pockets of officials. Strictly speaking, there is no political question in volved in the elections. Intelligence, hon? esty ?nd reepeotability are the only quali? fications which shouldie demanded of the candidates, ?sd the men who possess them should1 be supported by Democrat and Re publican .alike. The Radicals may, as usual, oraok their whip and denounoe every candidate who is not blaok in the face or black in the heart. If they do this, the attempt should still be made to show their poor dupes that it is to their interest to hate every public office ? filled by oapable and tr nat worthy persona. This may. fail, and a Bquare stand-up fight for the election of the best men will be the only resource, aa it is oertainly the simplest, lo Let us now drive the entering wedge Let us prove that we are resolved to have a word to say whon our money is to be spent ajad our property taxed. Let us show Rad? icalism that henceforth no offioe, however small, shall fall into the hands of ignorance and vice without a hard and persistent struggle. By persevering, by soiling every opportunity of electing a good officer in the place of a bad one, we oan, in the course of the next two years, revolutionize the whole State and local .government. This can be done. It is an object, worth striving for, and the first step to be made is in car? rying the May elections. Forney on Figures. Forney fays cf Governor Scott, of this State: "The bonds that were selling at 28 "cents on the dollar, when he took post essiou, "are now worth from 50 to 57." The truth is tbat old State bonds were 6-5 to 67 on the day of Soott's inauguration, and were quoted yesterday at 74, which is about 30 par cent, less than their value when the State gov? ernment was in responsible hands. Forney says ot the late lamented Mayor Clark : "The city debt of Charleston was five mil .-lions when the present Mayor was elected, "and its securities have risen from 03 to * 68." This also is wide of the roark; for the price of city stock when Mayor Clark was inaugurated was 46 to 48. THK FIRST number of "The Wjrking "Christian," a weekly religious paper, will be issued on July 1st. This paper will be published at Yorkville, and edited by Til matt R. Gaines. Subscription $2 50 per annum. Oca AiKis oorreppond?nt is informed that according to the proclamation of Gov? ernor Scott, one school commissioner and one county commissioner for Barnwell County will be elected on the 25th May. ix o ld for Cotton. We print, this morning, an article on the subject of the movement originated in Mo? bile, to demand payment in gold for all cot? ton hereafter sold in the South. The subject ia one-as the writer well says-of the gravest consequence to our people, and we trust that it will be pondered and dis? cussed in all its bearings by those who op? pose the plan, as well as by those who give it their approval. Our columns will, ss far as possible, be thrown open for this pur? pose. Tne Western Oralia Trade. The West is ina ferment just jiow over the question whether wheat shall be car? ried from St. Louis down the Mississippi and thence by sea to Europe and New York, or sent by rail and canal via Chicago and Buffalo to New York. The St. Louie mer? chants have it very much at heart to rival or surpass Chicago ns a shipping point for grain, and they-figure oat that they can move it to New Orleans for less than 10 cents a bushel, whereas it costs 32j cents per bushel to move it from Chicago to New York. Therefore they argue they can afford to pay the difference between 10 cents and 82} cents for grain, sud thus divert it alto? gether from its present channel to New York via Chicago. New York, however, is enlisted with Chicago in having the grain seek its market by tbs present route, and the New Yorkers are debating how to cheapen transportation, BO as to compete with the Mississippi line. Some of the Ne w York papers seem inclined ia the emer? gency to favor the Ruskin idea that no rail* road or ?anal should ever deolare dividends, but that these moans of transportation should be controlled by government so that con? sumers need pay no more than the bare cost of carrying products from one part of the country to another. There certainly seems to be something wrong in the fact, tbat one-third of the price of wheat should be consumed in getting it to market. Reviews. Two LITE PATHS : By L. Muhlbacb. New York: D. Appleton & Co. Charleston : Join Rus? sell. Price 60 cen te. This book is bnilt upon what is familiarly known as the New York Lodger p!an, except that virtue ia not rewarded, nor rico satisfac? torily pu?iBbed. There are two heroines. No. 1 is a living lie and cheat and prospers amaz? ingly. No. 2 leads a lifo of agony and moral martyrdom, and in Ibo end is so overcome by the consciousness that right cannot make its way in this wicked world of s:n that her only resource is unmitigated suicide. Miss Muhl bach's stories of King and Kaiser are dreary enough, but they aro moro amas:nsr than this compound of twaddle, bathos and hacknied sensation. BLACK Foaxar VILLAGE STORIES : By Auerbach.
