' -The article of Justin McCarthy on "Mr.
and Hrs. Lewes" "a the June number of the
JQaraxy baa called the attention of the pnblio
to the disproportion which exists between the
opinion entertained of "George Eliol" in Eng?
land and America. In England cultivated pe0
pW regard the novels of "George Eliot" aa
ranking with the no vela of Thackeray; in Ameri?
ca there is no such measurement. The reason
ia that the American mind does not under
.stand-nor sympa th iz 3 with the si is of life pre?
sented in "Adam Bede," the "Hill on the
Floss,"And "Felix Holt." They are wonder?
ful pictures nevertheless, and aro fairly enti?
tled to the placo they have won at nome. The
?reUtioDship of "Mr. and Mr3. Lowe*" 13 also
ihe subject of comment. As far as we remem?
ber it tba story is this : Hr. Lawes was mar?
ried in eirly life, his wife subsequently eloped
with a paramour; throe or four years lalor
Lewes lonnd her in great distress and relieved
ber necessities, settling np tn her a part of his
inoime; he then applied for a divorce which
was refused by the Eoglish courts on the
ground that his provision f Dr the erring wife
was a forgiveneas of her error. Tho Scotch
coarta wore lera rigorous, however, and, hav?
ing secured a divorce thoie, Lewes married
Hies E vd ns on a Scotch certificate.
- -The New Orleans Times relates that twen?
ty-five 3 eira ago, when the case of Mrs. Gaines
first carno up for trial in that city, her counsel
having withdrawn because of a difficulty with
the judge, General Gaines himself claimed, as
an admitted member of the bar, to represent
his wife's interests. Unfortunately, when he
-studied law in Yirgiuia, it was under t very
different system or jurisprudence, and he felt
.vsrp -mach oat at sea in the courts of a civil
law State. He would, therefore, ask that the
lady defendant, who was better acquainted
with fhe remarkable facts of ber history than
any one else, should be allowed to address
the jory ia her case. The judge stated
that the lady had tho right to argue her own
"SlsC. Then- the General, with that grand j
old dignity for which he was so distin?
guished, led forward Mrs. Gaines, who pro?
ceeded to address the jory at great length,
xeading numerous doctmoc ts bearing upon
her oase. Whilst reading these documents,
th? Jodgo, whowaa a high-spirited man, in
terrered, ?nd notified her that abe could not
be allowed to re td dojutnonts which were not
in evidence in tho case. The lady still persist
ins;, the Judge again interfered, and a disa?
greeable wrangle arose, in the midst of which
Hrs. Gaines charged the Judge with having an
interest against her. Judge Buchanan retort?
ed with temper, and notified General Gaines
that he "wai expected* lo con&oT bis wife in
court, where, no persons ' were privileged.
Whereupon tho-stately old General arose to his
foll attitude of six feet three, and assuming
the position of a commander of grenadiers,
and gracefully touching the belt ol his
sword, responded: "May it please your Honor,
for everything that lady shall say or do, I hold
myself personally responsible in every manner
and form known to the laws of my corin try or
the laws or honor." This reply and the accom?
panying action and the appearance of the gen?
eral in bis military garb, aroused to a still
higher pitch the Irish fire of the judge, who
quickly answered : "General Gaines, this court
will not be overawed by military authorities."
"Bpst assure i, your Honor, that when an at?
tempt of that sort is made, the sword which I
wear in conformity to the regulations of the
service, and ont of respect to this honorable
court, will be quickly unsheathed to defend
the rights and dignity of your Honor and of
all the civil tribunals of my coon try." After
these explanations, peace and order were re?
stored.
CHARLESTON.
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1869.
The Crops.
We continue this morning the publication
of letters, showing the tondition of the
crops in the different seotionB of the State.
Upon the whole the accounts are encourag?
ing, bnt we shall make no general comment
until our returns are complete.
The State Board of Equalization.
Our letters from different parts of the
State contain vehement denunciations of the
action of the State Board of Equalisation in
raising the assessments of real estate. The
county assessors were on the spot, and may
be safely presumed to have had more trust?
worthy information on the subject than
could be obtained by a central board sitting
in "Columbia. Their assessment should not
hare been meddled with, without the grav?
est and moat serious deliberation. Patting
this and that together, we can only account
for the conduct of the State Board by sup?
posing that the.total values returned to
them were muon less than they expected,
and were therefore run up haphazard to the
desired amount. Governor Scott - who
.thinks that he knows as much about the
State as any other man--announced that
the taxable property would amount to about
$800,000,000, and lt must hare been dis?
gusting in the extreme when the total
returns were found to amount to only $164,
000,000
A correspondent in Walhalla, puts the
whole question in very few words. He
says: " The assessed raine of real estate in
Oconee, has been raised one hundred per
cent, while in Pickens, where lands are
worth more, it is only raised twenty-ire per
cent. I heard a person remark the other
day that if the Radicals wanted all we had,
just to say so, and not whip the devil
around the stump in that manner. Thu hat
aiwayi been a vhile county, nd after thu IT
WILL BS STILL WHIT?. Oconee and Pick
ens both went Democratic in May."
This is the key-note to strike. There is
but one way to get rid of public extrava?
gance, high taxation, swarms rf oounty
and township officers, boards of equaliza?
tion and th? like. And that way is to de?
feat Radicalism everywhere and upon all
occasions. This caa be done hy showing
that Radicalism in South Carolina is as ruin?
ous to the pocket aa it is des truo ti ve of in?
dustry and integrity. -
The Pert Hoy al Railroad.
The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday says,
that contracts hare been executed which
will ensure the completion within the next
twelve months of the railroad between Au?
gusta and- Port Royal. Taylor & Co., of
New York, are said to hare contracted to
build the road, one hundred and ten miles,
"for the sam of $700,000, to be paid to
"them in the stock of the company."
We shall ba glad to see the Port Royal
Railroad built, if it be done without a State
subsidy. It will not be easier to draw
away trade from Charleston to Port Royal
than it has been to take trade from Wil?
mington for the benefit of Beaufort, North
Carolina; and the Savannah and Charleston
Road will certainly be a gainer by the com?
pletion of the new line. We may add, that
if Taylor & Co. can build one hundred
and ten miles of railroad for $700,000, or a
little more than $6000 a mile-the stock
being worth not more than par-we should
like to take a few hundred miles more at
the same price.
The American Cyclopaedia.
"The American Annual Cyclopaedia," for
1868, is juet issued from the press of D.
Appleton & Co. This is the eighth issue of
this important annual register, bringing
down the record of events to the close of
the year 1868. It embraces the complete
annals.of military, civil and social affairs
of every country for the last year, afford?
ing the most thorough contemporaneous
history in the language. It is a reoord of
all that has been done in government, civil
and military; a history of e. *."umerce, sci?
ence, discovery, literature, S . \nce, agri?
culture and mechanical indi^'ry; it con?
tains biographies of the distinguished dead;
public documente; statistics; it treats of all
countries and of all interests. It is a work
of reference for the professional and busi- i
ness man, and a book important to ali who :
desire to keep themselves well informed in .
the world's doings.
A PUBLIC MISTING has been held in
Darlington to organize a cotton factory.
There was muoh enthusiasm, and c o mn itt ees .'
were appointed to open books and get the
enterprise fairly under way. Well done,
Darlington !
THE citizens of Orangeburg, as will be
seen from the letter of our correspondent,
are taking vigorous action against the ac i
tion of the State Board of Equalization.
An Kn gitan View oftke ena ncaa of ia War
wi tat tue Uaalted Statt??.
Ia th?following article, the London Spec?
tator, an able and influential Eagliak jour?
nal, discusses the chance? and cost of a war
with the United States. The Spectator
aeizes at once upon the root, of the difficul?
ty, ria : that the Union has a g ou th which
it cannot despise abd dare not trust; andin
touching upon the questions of finance, the
defence of the Canadas, and the power of I
Great Britain to rapport a hage army and [
powerful nary, the English editor writes
with a straightforward frankness altogether
different from the rant and bluster which
fill the Northern Radical journals when
they hound on the masses to demand
Canada or War :
"Whydo Americans think us weak? Be?
cause we could not defend the Canadian fron?
tier ? feasibly not; bat we should infallibly
try to do it, and Americans, who on this point
at least are not unfair, will acknowledge that
to destroy a British army of a hundred thou?
sand men, backed by the Canadian'population,
and by a fleet sufficient to blockade every port
north of the Potomac, would be a task requir?
ing all their resources. That effort would over?
tax us ? We made it in 1857, sending an army
fire times the distance, and, after three yeats
of a war which covered a continent, that army
remained in India, with its strength unbro?
ken or increased, while at home another still
greater baal gathered in reservo. Bnt wo have
Ireland t Has Dot the Union a South, or do
Northern Americans believe that the senti?
ment of Irishmen toward us is worse than that
of the Southerners toward them ? England,
if forced into this horrible war, would and
could stop at nothing, would and could rMly in
Virginia the men of the %1aal cause? behind
well-appointed European army, supported by
a population north and sooth, in Canada as in
Virginia, which would know that in ber victory
alone could their security be found. The blacks?
Are we an enslaving power, or is the Indian
constitution intolerable to colored men ? Even
then, when this had been attempted and the
Union was assailed on two sides, from north
and south in each direction by four millions of j
men rallying round that hardest of kernels, :
British army, we should have exerted but one
fifth of the strength we displayed in the Pen?
insular war, when, with Ireland included, we
were but fifteen millions. We are twenty now
without Ireland. We had then a minion of
men on foot, and drove through Spain a sol?
dier who wielded, when the war be*jn, re?
sources in men even greater than those at the
disposal of General Grant-. Oar finances ?
debt doable that of America-that is, an addi?
tion of three hundred millions to our debt
wouM but leave ns where the Union is now, for
abo pays double interest on her loans. In
1815, for every pound an Englishman received
he paid 7s. 6d. to the State. He now pays 2s.
The difference alone would yield one hundred
and twenty millions a year-that is, support
the war without incurring debt. Bat then our
commerce ? There is no saying what resources
thirty millions of Anglo-Saxons may find in
their energy and patriotism; but we are Anglo
Saxons also, and at first all naval advantages
would be on our side. The Americans are de?
ceived by Parliamentary talk. There is no
fleet in existence which could stand three
months before our own; our merchant navy
outnumbers that of the world in combination,
and earth itself is bat a ooaling station for
Great Britaio. From Heligoland to Hong
Kong, everywhere we have harbors, dooks,
coals, cannon. Oar sailors are the same in
race, in training, in courage, as the raen who
followed Farragut; our officers the same as the
men who blockaded the South; our vessels the
result of a competition to which America has
been but a par y. Why should we be defeated
any more than our cousins ? Ia it not at all
events, possible, that after slaughter and ruin
such as might make devils wince, we should
emerge for the moment masters of the sea, with
our commerce as secure as at present, and our
maritime prestige higber than ever ? Look at
it how we will, war between America and Eng?
land is mere destruction, mero loss, a civil
war in which the only possible gainers are the
enemies of both; but why ia that contest of
suicid?e should we not be at least the last to
perish ? Because the Union is so large ? Com?
pared with the territories of Qaeen Victoria, lt
is a speck on the earth's surface. That sen?
tence is nonsensical, we acknowledge, but it is
true, and is as sensible as the argument it re?
l?tes. In war, concentration is everything,
aot dispersion, and we have the population of |
the entire North concentrated in a territory
[ess extensive than Pennsylvania and New
i'oik. The policy which crushed the South
sannot be applid to ns; for when we had lost
Lhe lives the South has lost, all we should feel
would be that oar existing emigration bad
been diverted to an unforeseen purpose, lhere
is something shocking to ourselves in tho
mere ose of such an argument; but the war
against which we use it would be more shock?
ing still-a war between equals, between broth
irs, a civil war spread over earth, a war in
which every incident of slaughter would have
the moral effect of massacre, a war in which
every victory on either side would be sheer
loss, a war without a limit or a conceivable
end. We could gain nothing by the war, even
if we triumphed, and America nothing, for
Canada is not worth a doubled debt; while if
we lose we lose only Canada, and America, if
she loses, loses the unity she has spent EO
much of blood and treasure to preserve. There
never was such an act of lunacy as euch a war
would be, yet it is such a war that speeches
like that of Mr. Sumner would force on."
