A dispatch announced their safe ar? rival in New York, and they vere expected to 'f reach Gojdsboro' in a day or two. The com? mittee aa&orized Eon. W. T. Dortch, one of their number, to distribute them lo the mern- ' 'bets of the association in Edgecombe and Wi 1- c eon Counties. i -A law-suit in New York is bringing: out t some interesting rants concerning frauds in the ( toe trade. One of the witnesses says that the ( narks on the packages are -merely fanciful, to attract the eye, and do not accurately describe ' the quantity of the tea. Som? teas are desig- I nated "English Brean East Tea," while such a 1 tea as that, asa tea. does not exist It is j either "Souchong'' or some tea of that class, t and "they give it, the attractive disignation of r "English Breakfast Tea" to distinguish it ( "JK from "Oolong." In fact, it is becoming to be understood that tea-drinkers are among the greatest vio ti ms there are to tho kind of rasca' ity m China which in this country is so exCen . naively prac ticed by the whiskey men. -The secretary of the America a Coloniza- ' tion Society, writing to ihe Philadelphia Led- < ger in reference to the statement that the < number of oolored emigrants to Africa has fall- \ en off since the war, asserts that this diminu? tion is only temporary, and bas occurred only in the year 1863 He gives tb J number of emi? grants colonized by the society in 1865 at 527. in 1866 at 621, m 1867 at "638, and in 1868 at 451, < makings total >_t 2232 colonized in the four ' years since the war. He assorts that in no { equal period ol the society's existence, except t one, hare so many emigrants been settled in u liberia. Ihe numbers scat during the ye us g named, it is stated, gives but the smaller por? tion of the persons who applied for a passage. a -The new cab act paused by tho Lozislu turo provides that passengers shall ba charged C -but thirty oenta for any distance not exceeding t a mue, forty couts being the ch arg J for two fa .peroone the same distance; the sam3 thee for , greater d stances, a fraction of a mile coontie? always as a mile. For any time not exceeding an hour, single passengers seventy-five cents; | f for two persons, one dollar; and for any time additional, for each hour or fraction of an h hour, at the sama roto. The law requires that t ?cab? shall be stationed at any honr ot the day t or night upon such streets of the cities of Now ^ York end Brooklyn as may be assigned them hy the Major of either city, and no cab-driver will be allowed to leave his cab at depots or steamboat landings until he is engaged by the r pass enger. The capital of the company is a -$960,000. 1 -Alluding to the proposed Admission of a i negro printer into the Typographical Union, the Washington Star says : "The question will now come before the National Union in a new t form in the case ot Douglass, the colored con- ti p?sito ! at the government officr. If it is pre- ri seated there without regard to the color quea- a Hon, simply on the ?round that he is nnder ? the han of rejection by the Denver Union, the National Union may escape acting upon it as tl involving a chango in the constitution, wkici b requires a yesxVi notice. But if it comes up p there squarely on tho question of admitting i colored compositors, there will be warm work, Q as, from the tone of tho communications re- ti ceived from Northern union by union mun y here, urging resistance to the admission of t< Pouglas, it is evident that the prejudice tl against co orel compositors is not coffined to jj any particular quortor or goograpuicil line." i? -The sensation iu New York on Monday j, was the failure of Messrs. Bchopeler & Co.'s commission, house. Tho house had borne such a reputation for safety, shrewdness and n bneruess tact, that many p rsous were at first 8 inclined to be incredulous, &nd to suspect that ti the report of the failure waa merely designed v io affect the gold market. The cause of the 8 failure was speculation. It was believed that p the advance in gold was merely temporary, and Sch epeler ? Co. bad contracted to deliver large amounts of gold, ten mil- v Irons to one party. Tho latest deliveries J they made ?hey wore compelled to pay s a margin of seven or eight per cont. The ha- s bi?>iea of the firm wero at first stated at a mi!- t Hon and a half |lollara, and this amount is r likely to be under rather than over the real fe lauree. The immediate effects of the failure ft ?n other houses were not very great. Only ti ive houses, and both of these email concerns, p failed to meet their obligations at the close of p ' -She day. The Tribune says: "lt will proba- a hly take from roar to six veolis for the firm to ii ascertain the amount of their liabilities, so { n s vast were their business transactions in this country ana Europe. In the moantimo they expect to bc able to resume business again. Tue Gernlan bankers and brokers ot' the city have tendered to the firm a loan of SG00.000, but OJ cdcertaining that this sum would not bo sufficient to meot tho demands on thc firm, it was decided to raise $1,000,000 at onco: to cna blo the old and trusted firm to resume busi ness again." ^^^^^^^^^^^ CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1869. Tlic Freu and tine Public. One of the most common, but most ab? surd mistakes which people make now-a days, is in imagining that a community confers upon the newspaper whioh it sup? ports an obligation, whioh can only be can? celled by the most obsequious compliance with the whims and deference to the opin? ions of any individual among the mass of its readers, who may take the trouble to favor it with his views. Modern journal ism, like its bister institutions-the postal system and the telegraph-gives to the pub? lic advantages ont of all proportion to the money value at which they are rated; and the -man who huys fvgpod newspaper, avails himself ot* a privilege^ the extraordinary chea?Ti?ss'c/ whiobfue csn'hardly'apnreci tte because of ita habitual enjoyment The tdvertiser, likewise, who makes knotvnhis business through the columna of a journal simulating widely among all classes, ought o understand that he thereby seoures the riohest possible return for the trifling sum ie may have invested. In both caces, the customer gets bis full money's worth mmy ames multiplied; and the assumption that lhere is any obligation whatever in either is simply preposterous. The terms "patron" md ?patronage" as applied to the readers iud business of a newspaper, aro still used 3j some oonntry editors; bat have long lince been repudiated by all journalists who ure mindful of the true position and dignity ?f their calling. Noria it inila relations to individuals, only, hat the newspaper is a source of constant lenefit. ' A live, enterprising and progr?s? tive journal likewise gives to the oily in vhich it is published an advantage, the im J or tance of whioh it would be difficult to over ?ate. To the outside world, the daily pa >er has grown to be the unfailing index by whioh the community, of whioh it is Bure 0 he in some sort the representative, is udged. - The life and energy of the little world it illustrates seldom fail to be faith? fully reflected in its news columns; while the array of its advertisements, to the practiced eye, is an unerring gauge of the ihrewdness, activity and prosperity of its )usines8 men. It is clearly, then, the in ?rest of every cit j that aspires to oomnier liai advancement to give to its newspapers inch a support as will enable them to keep m far as possible in advanoe of the times, instantly enlarging the sphere of their isefulness, and ever taking the lead in ?very measure of development and pro (ress. And suoh a support ehoald be given ingrudgingly, not ss a matter of favor or patronage, but simply as a business opera* ion, affcoting diiectly, and in a most mite dal degree, the intere its of the present and he prospects of the future. ?Cincinnati and South. Carolina. We print, this morning, the principal ipecohes delivered before the City Council >f Cincinnati, by the representatives of this lily and State, ia explanation of the ad rantages of what is known as the Ble Ridge route from Cincinnati to Charleston. These speeches comprise the sam and sub? it?neo of all that can or need be said in re? tard to the route which makes South Caro? ma the highway, and Charleston the ex? torting and importing city, for the vast rade of the West. The work is one ipon whioh the ablest minds of thc Hate have been engaged for more than 1 quarter of a oentury, and we ; know ow that a decision by the city of Cin ?noinnati in favor of Knoxville as opposed o Chattanooga would give us all that has >een sought so long, and make profitable he millions whioh have already been laid mt in the mountains and upon the valleys >f the Blue Ridge Railroad. According to private advices which wc ave received, the City Council were to come o a vote yesterday, but up to the hour of ais writing the result has not been made mown. Without indulging ia undue hope, re may, however, feel that the chances ure trongly on the side of the Blue Ridge cute; and if the worst ornes to the woret, . railroad of twenty firs or thirty miles in ength will enable as to tap the "Cincinnati ine before it reaches rocky Chattanooga. Woaux posasse the right to vote moro ex ensively than is generally supposed. Ia Aus ria, women can vote as nobles, in their corpo ate capacity as nuns, and as taxpayers. In ome cases, however, they vote by proxy. Io [angary, np to 1S18. widows, and single wo len, who were lauded proprietors, possessed ae right to vote. They were deprived of it y the revolutionary government, and are now otitiomng for the restoration of this right, n Canada, as in several of our own States, wo len are allowel to vote for and s.rvc as school r?steos. In the British Australian colony of '?etona women uuiversally assumed the right > vote about four years ago, having found that ie law had been so framed ae to permit them, a Sweden, chiefly through th 2 exertions ot tho ito Fredrika Bremer, an ?ndireot right ol vot ig was, in 1?G2, grau led to all women posses? ing specified property qualifications. In Italy, widow, or wife separated from her husband, iay vote if abo pays taxes. Also, m Folland, . ingle women possessing property an titled o vote on all questions likely to a: c* its alue. In many towns HI France,' womea pos? esa and exorcise the right to vote in caunici al affairs. A Woaiais's PABXIAMEST, according to a lady triter in the Juno Galaxy, is to be hold in New fork City next fall. As tho men are rather I low about Riving the women the ballot, it ' eems the latter are going to hold a delibera- 1 ive body of their own to discuss all matters ' elating to the welfare of the sex. Among the opios to be talked about are education, re- ! ormatory institutions, woman's labor, domes- < ic economy, hygiene, and, 1 st but not loast, 1 ol?'ical corruption. The projectors of this i arliament claim that, while it may not have 1 uthority, it cannot fail te exercise a moral ifiuence, ?bich they seem to thick if needed , ow-a-days, cspeciMly in politics. i fXrAftVf BD, A WUBIAM WITHOUT IV W CUMKRANCR to Wash and make DM self general Iv u*ml about the house Apply at No. 83 WEN 1 Wo R rB'SI Itt EC 1_-Jay 2J ITTA ATL'.D IMMEDIATELY, A WO?AM VV to do bout-ev, ork. t>ho must bo well rei om mended lorhoncstv, industry and capabilia.
