There w?s a full attendai members, and the galleries were crowded spectators. %_ Mr. QladaicS8r% risiDfr, was greeted loud cheers by the liberals, and with der shou ts from the. Tory benches. He said, ree pest to the amendments which had . made t$ the bill, that the Government posed to restore the preamble and the di disestablrehment as they appeared in the mal bill; they would agree to the amenda relating to curates'annuities and to the toction of annuitants, with some modificat bittali other amendments they snonld o pi with the single exception of the grant of a million pounds in Ken of private ben tiona made before 1060. Mr. Diaiaeli followed. He said that altbx < ho abatraat principles of the bill bed bee: pea tedi y discussed, there had beeri little erosion on the details of its, provisions, hoped that the amendments Lade in the H of Lords would receive the calm consider! of the Commons? > . i I Mr. GUdatone Hen move I that the JB i disagree to the preamble as emended.

He asset --that the Howe of Lords did not desire toe serration of the enxpiua rbr purposes of < current endowment, and ridiculed-the r for its appropriation. He hoped the Ho would prevent auch a waste of the pu fu^da, and not allow them to be dealt witt this loose ind vague manner. Mr. Bau\ member from Dahlia Univers thought the restoration ot the original pre? ble would be tata! tb the many- advantages coxed to the Church by the Lords. Mr. Bright admitted that at a former time ^ bsd proposed .ometbrnK like the prat ?oberne of concurrent endowment; bot he dared that public reeling was now totally posed to religions endowments, and np mb. ter would be able to carry such a scheme., felt thai all the plans, save the one origini proposed by t ie biH, wera so foll of difficult that lt would be idle to disease them. Sir Bounden Palmer said, although no supporter of oopaozrent endowment, be oe sidered that, under the ctrcumatances, t granta for residences to elerey of the great n Jorrty could not be refuted ont of (hat rb. which, contrary to bis ideas, they had declai was wrongfully taken from the great major and need Tor the religious purposes cf t minority.

The House ihen divided, ?nd the amen ment of the Boose ol Lords with reject endowments waa disagreed to by a vote of S against 222; the majority for the governmex Iii. The amendment tn regard to the appropri tion of the surplus fonds wan also disagreed ?j a Tote of 246 against 161, . Mr. Gladstone thea moved the restoxat? of the on trinar date, namely, the 1st day January, 1871, for the dissolution of tbs legi bative union between tte .Church es of . Engl ar and Ireland.'and after some discussion the da was restored without a division. The House then adjourned. LONDON, Joly 16.-In the Bosse of Con mons, to-night, the consideration of the Iris Church bill waa continued. Mr. Gladstone approved of the amendmei granting half a million of pounds for privai endowments made prior to 1660, hoi moved 1 disagree to the pro vt ai on continuing the Ule u granta. Mr. Disraeli thought a olear understands ought to be arnv d at. If the policy of th government bad for its-object religious equal ty, it could not ba obtained by humiliating th Arish Church, and leaving it to competent the most ancient hierarchy in Chris ten dmr He thought the proposal of the Lords wa reasonable. : - -.- ? K . ? , Sir Stafford Northcote thought Mr. Glad stone's proposals would. convert the Ins! Church toto a voluntary missionary church contributions for the support of which cooli only be obtained by stirringnndbad feelinrr against Catholic neighbors. Il would be ti the advan age of the Protestants to enjoy rre and proper endowments?- and be asked as ai act of justice and expediency that the glebe be loft to them. Boundell Palmer supported the Lord'i amendment. The amendment granting half a millioi pounds tor private endowments wa? agreed lo The amendment co .tinning the Ulster granu was rejected-845 to 240. The announcement of the result was receiv? ed wi i h cheers from the Ministerial benches, Mr. D.sraeli intimated that it was not neets sary for tbe House to divide on any of tbe other amendments except that to clause 68 postponing the disposition of the surplus ronds. Mr. Gladstone moved to disagree to, and Mr. Disraeli supported the Lord's amendment. He thought tbe government plans were not ma? tured, and ongbt to be left tor future conside? ration. Mr. Bright said the distribution of the sur? plus was a d Harem matter. The Government bad made minute inquiries as to the suitable destination of income ant? ing from surplus. He bad no interest other ' than any member ot the House, or contrary to the wishes of the Irish people. m Every one acknc sledsred that the money was properly Irish, md ou?bt to be applied to tbe benefit of Ireland. The plan was open to the least objection. To leave the question open would only pave tie way for future emoarraaament. He ap *pea'ed to the House not to put an obstacle m the way of the passage of the bill. Tbe country had confided with the fullest sincerity in the Government desire to make Ireland an integral part of the kingdom, and her connection with England closer. The amendment was then njectcd by a vote ol 290 against 218. Great cheering greeted the result. EABL DEBB?8 PBOTEST. LOUDON, July 16.-Tho protest against the Irish Church hgt by EajJ Derby is signed by forty-seven Peers. It was entered against this bill on tbe ground that ?t looked to the sever? ance of t be Church and State, a project unre? cognized by any country in Europe. Tne'aaoption of the bill wou-hl encourage tho designs of those who want auch severance ex? tended throughout the United Kingdom, to? gether with the lepumption of grants and c >n I fiseations of property. The protest further states that tbe passage af the bill was a violent stretch of tho power ot Parliament, which de? stroys confidecce in all property, and espe? cially that resting'on Parliamentary title. The protest sets forth the impossibility of j putting the disestablished and disendowed Church on the footing and organization of the Catholics, and that this grievance caused the alienation of Irish Protestants from the loyal supporters of the throne, and stimulation in the demands of Catholics. LONDON, July 17.-The debate on the Irish Church bili continued all night. Disraeli re? gretted the rejection of the Lords' amend? ment.*; said the Peers had consented to a se? cond reading of the b?l on the underelauding that thc Commons wonld consent to the modi fication. Gladstone said tbe promise was only to consider reasonable amendments, aud de- | nied a violation of tbe pledge. Gathorne Har? dy supported Disraeli's statements and said Bright had* used threats of a dissolution of 'Parliament to coerce. The Lords were treat- j ed in an unworthy manner. Bright denied the accusation. Finally a committee was ap? pointed to report reasons for rejecting the ' I ords' amendment.

Direct 'Trade with Kurope-One of Its Many Advantages. TO THii EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Your leader, "'Oireci Trade," (in Monday's issue ) call? attention to an enterprise, whiob, if properly taken in hand, mast and will result in vncilctilatle good to the South. Though "a ruin amidst ruin3," I love what is leftWf my country (the fcuth) ab dearly as I did the whole of it, six, Beven and eight years ago. Auy enterprise likely to contribute in the smallest degree to the rapid recuperation of the ex-Confederate States, has not only my cordial concurrence, hot kindles in a once joyous, but now saddened heart newhopss hopes that lead me to contemplate the South ?A? sonie tall cliff that lifts its awful form, bwelln from the rale, ?nd m cl way leuvea the storm, Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal eumbtne settles on hs head." Io view of tbe fiendish crimcB and outrages ?recently (during the war) perpetrated on us by our quondam pretended friends north of "Ma? son and Dixon's," it appears to mo that direct trade is . tue right thing in thc right place." Indeed, the commercial deepotism of the North over the South prior to the war was not only unjust, but unnatural. With our Atlantic and Gnjf coast it should never have come into be? in:?. In the effort towards making the enter? prise a complete success, would it not bo well for ns to waive for the nonce our inborn re? pugnance to Yankee ideas and notions, and adopt one of their dogmas ("time is money") SB our starting point ? -in ot her words, to t "ike steps immediately to make the enterprise an accomplished fact at the earliest practicable moment ? Delay on our p trt might induce the masters and slaves of the "best government the world ever saw" to add another link to the reconstruction chain now manacling us, with a view of impeding our success in the matter. It is impossible to enumerate, in a short compass, the many advantages that would ac? crue to the South from direct trade, nor is such the purpose, at present, of the writer of this. He will content himself with stating one that meet 8 him on the threshold. It may en? able us to ge. into the South eome gold and silver to supply tbe place of that of which we have been ruthlessly and villanonsly robbed. This done, we may be able to dispense with an nure bab e greenback currency, which has no real. sabstanial intrinsic value, and can never he made to have any. by any act of any gov? ernment. Bags tn their normal or primary state nave no value. Can government, oy changing their form, converting them into pa? per and stamping them, give them what they id not origil ally possess? "Tis dearness that gives everything its value " The labor an<1 expense necessary to getting gold and sil? ver with other metals from the "bowell ot the earth " oontiibute to enhance their inherent intrinsic value Paper money is easily made, (rags being always plentiful ) aad as easily des? troyed. Item, therefore, never have any real value. A breath makes it, and a breath may destroy it at any moment thereafter. At another time I nay write more on this subject. Mv object in writing this is simply to give the ball you have so timely Bet in motion a kick, in the hone that others may do the same. _ _ _CATO. THE A TA I E TAXES. Opinions of Ute Press and Ae lon of the People. HOBST. The Horry News advises the taxpayers to hold back the taxes. It says ; The law distinctly saya the tax shall be pay abl*?n or before the first day of March after thewwsei'Bme'Jt. The assessment was made May, 1869. and is not due until March, 1870. If money was required by the State for legiti? mate purposes, in 1869, why was the tax not assessed and levied as provided for by Jaw? Was it because they were afraid it would injure their party in the last general election ? The officials tn our Mate seems to forget that they are the hired servants of the people, who hire and pay them to perform the duties appertain? ing to their various offices for public good. They have neglected their duty, and we, their mastere, should punish them ; we can do it, and comply with the law, by those who have not paid their laxes withholding them until due, and by those who have paid joining in the pro? test and appeal, which will go up from the peo? ple of oar ri ta te against this tyrannical imposi? tion. Withhold the tax until due, and you will punish them bv keeping them from their sala? ries, per (hems and fat pickings until the lax is paid. Let ns iwake and organize. Pre?are to join in the work of purging all public positions of parasites, who sacrifice public interest that they may retain the favor of the bond ring, and elect such men as will not forget (having a little authority) that they are for public ser vants, put in position the public good, and are paid by the people to have justice done them; not placed there to af sis t in robbing them, or consider themselves the masters of the people, but remember that they are tho hirelings of their humblest constituents. CHESTEBFrELD. At a public meeting held in Cherew, on the 15:n, a motion was made and carried, that a committee ot three be appointed by the chair, to draw np au appeal, to be signed by the tax? payers, and presented to the County Auditor, to be approved by him, and forwarded to tbe State Auditor at Columbia, for his considera? tion. The chair appointed on that committee, F. Lynch, Dr. J. E. McLean, and Captain W. L. J. Reid. It was also agreed that the Town Council take similar action in its official capacity. OCONEX. A public meeting wa? held in Walhalla on the 12tb for the purpose of taking action in re? lation to tbe assessment of real estate in Oconee County. On motion of Colonel Thomr. a, the follow? ing was adopted: Resol ced, That a committee of three be ap? pointed by the chairman of this meeting to prepare and present to the Stato Anditor a statement of our grievances in relation to the assessments of real estate in O onee County. Messrs Robert A. Thompson. J. H. Whitner and W. C. Keith were appointed the commit te?. Colonel Norton offered the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That a committee of three be ap? pointed to draft a form of application to the Auditor of the State for the reduction of taxes of individuals, with the proper affidivits and certificate of the County Anditor endorsed thereon. JOHN CHINAMAN AS A MANUFACITJBEU.-In our last we spoke ot this kind of Lbor in relation to our agricultural interests. We woola now direct attention to the Chinaman as a mano fac nrer. Al'hough thev are unacquainted with machinery a? used ny us m thc ni inuf c ture of goods, they are eo well ski ltd in all kinds of manual labor, so delicate m their touch, so neat an 1 careful in their work, that thev wiH m>ke first rate factory hands, lo California they have (camed the nee ot sewing m tchines very quickly, ?nd lliey requiro much more ski!) than oidinTv c tton mill work. We have no chas of population suit? able for taciorv bands. The negroes are too clumsy, and their labor too uncerta n. The refuse of Northern mills whom we n metimes induce to come HouMi, ar? inju? rious lo the cbar.ic'er of our people. They i ro the worst of a notoriously im nor.il popu? lation, and beside s that they come among us with all the New England prejudices agaiust us. When wo have chinese laborers cultivat? ing oor fields, and Chinese workmen manufac? turing our cotton goods, we will bo independ Bot aiik? of negro field Lands and New Eng? land adventurers. We havo alwavs believed that it was in the providence of Cod to set Iree our negro slaves after thoy bad accomplished all in their power to deveJbno the rosources of our country. With the b'.gh lands of the South popula'ed bv whi e Europeans, and middle and lower lands toaruin^ with Chinese, tbe negro will be without any status in oor community, and mu t seek a warmer climate and more con? genial atmosphere.-Sumter News.

RUETS' SAXES. EXECUTIVE D. PABTMEXT, 1 LAND COMMISSIOXEB'S OFFICE, . \ COLDKBIA, 8. C.. July 18.1889. V ) TO TBE EDITOB OF THE NEW3. Several letters of inquiry navi?g been ad? dressed to this om -o in reference tc the pur chase of landa at bankrupts' sales, I would ask the favor of publishing: in your journal, tor the information of all concerned, my reply. It-is not my intention to make purchases at bankrupt sales for two reasons, viz: First/ the wife's dower is a cloud upon tho title. Second, the primary object of the Lind Com? mission is not to take advantage of the imme? diate necessities and unfortunate situation of the people by competing at public sales for any person's homestead. On tbe contrary, I am glad to ses that tho friends of bankrupts generally throughout the Stale have generous? ly come forward and contributed either small or large sums, according to their .means, to eave the family homestead, thereby encourag? ing and p.vms the bankrupt one more oppor? tunity to retrieve his fortunes, rennin a citi? zen of the State, and continuo to assist in (he development of its resources. Some of the noblest, most enterprising and usetol men of this or ot 8 ny o ber State have become bank? rupts in their time. Tbe most' valuable and estimable citizans are liable to misfortunes, and I consider that the State that values her true interest can never consent io be a rival for their destruction and nial overthrow. Thc' policy of the Land Commission is not to de? populate the Slate, but to use every stimulant witbiu its power and province to build it np And increase its working force for tte fullest development. This office works on the side of the people. Very respectfully, C. P. LESLIE, Land Comm'ssioner. HOI EOE UTAH. Something Unusual in Virginia-A Mor. mon 'i rain en route for Utan. On Wednesday morning last the city of Nor? folk, Virginia, was visited by a number of conn, try-appearing p. opie, who loitered about the upper portion of the city aa it tbey had nothing to do, and whose actions excited a great deal of curiosity among the citizens generally. The centre of attraction to these new-comers from the rural di stricta seemed to be tbs wharf of the New York Steamship Company;' where the Isaac Bell lay, taking in a cir go for New York. The status and destination of these people is thus stated by the Norfolk Virginian : Upon inquiring at the wharf, we were re? ferred to two persons, wno appeared to be the. bus JO ess men of tbe company, and Jwbo inform? ed us tbat they were Elders Howard E. C drey and H. J. Bo \ le, ot the Church or the Latter Day Saints, and whose residences were respec? tively m Provo and Ogden Cities, Utab Terri? tory. They informed us that they had been Breaching m the Counties of Stokes and Sorry, ot th Carolina, and Smythe, Virginia, and this company of emigrants was partially the result of their labors. The company consisted of about one hundred and thirty meo, women and children, fully one-half of whom were females. The people seemed tb bs deep? ly imboed with the peculiar doctrina of the sect, and to have full faith to their lead era, tbe elders above mentioned Tbey have sold off their property, whenever practicable, and will make a fresh start ba the UTULQ?. promise. 8ome of them, we are told, being unable to dispose of their lands, left them rather than be left behind. The men seem to be entirely of tbe industrial classes, stout, sunburned farmers, and would be an invaluable acquisition in any community. Tbe women, wita one or two exceptions, seem to be entirely destitute of personal charms, and if the uni? versal report of Mormoudom be true, they will, in many instances, be destined to become hewer* of wood and drawers of water for more favored ones. moanru. Bovie & Corey give a (flowing des? orption of tbe country in the Territory of Utah: the soil is fr turf ul, well watered aod tim? bered, to be had in any quantity at the govern? ment price ot fl 25 per acre; and withal there is a ready market for all the productions of tbe earth. Provo City is about ninety mite? from Salt Lake, in the Utah valley, and is described as being an earthly elysium. Ogden is upon the Une of tbe Pacific Bailroad, aud is rapidly eclipsing the capital of the territory in sise and importance. It is indebted for its promi? nence more to the influx of Gentiles, brought by the railroad, than to the efforts of the saints themselves. The emigran's left last night on the Isaac Bell for New York, whence they leave for Chi? cago, and on to the far western territory of Deeeret. Their destination will be reached in about eight days, at a cost of about $50 a bead, to be paid by those who are able-all others are famished transportation. We regret to see th? bone and sinew of tbe two States leaving in this manner, when an in? flux of this very class of population ia so mnch needed and hoped for, ai.d are decidedly ot the opinion that a largennajority ot tboae we saw yesterday so hopeful and enthusiastic, will yet rue tbe day when tbey turned their backs on tbe land ot their binn. THE y EH' FRENCH CABLE. Circular of ?Jae Secretary of State to the Kreuch and British Ministers and the Governor of Messachuaetta-The Pro? prietary nights of States Olaeuaaed Claims of Control h y the United States. A copy of the following letter has been ad? dressed to the diplomatic representatives of France, aud also of Great Britain, and another copy will soon be transmitted to the Governor of Massachusetts: DEPABTUEXT OF STATE, J WASHINGTON, July 10.18(19. j Sir-I have the honor to ask your attention to the subject of the transatlantic telegraphic connection, which it is understood is expected to be made between the Empire of France und the shores of the Uuiied Smlcs by means ol a cable to be laid under the auspices and in the proprietorship of a British private corporation, and under authority of a concession from the Government ot France. I he project of this enterprise embraces a con? nection direct t. om thc coast of France to the island of St. Pierre, and i bonce toa point on the Afiautic coast of tho United Stales. It is oulv, ot comse, in respect to this las: division ot the piojected cable connection betweeu thc territory of France and cf tho United States that I bavo occasion to ask your attention to the views of ibis toverument as tons authori? ty and duty in tbe premises. It is not d -ubied by thia government that the c impie.u control ot mo whole suited, both ot thc permission and the regulation ol thin mode of forngu intercourse, is with tbe (ioverninent of ihe Unitod Skates. aDd that however suitable certain legis ation on the part oi a .-tatt of the Union may become in icspect to its proprietary rights in aid of such enterprises, the entire question nf the allowance or prohibition of such i..tans of f TCIU'O intercourse, commercial and political, and the terms and condition of its al? lowance, is aoder tbe ?ontrol of the Govern? ment ol the United States. A-i the projectors of the enterprise now in progress huvo not received or J wai ted the per? mission of this government, either to the es tabli-L'in. nt ot this telegraphic connection or to ita use for such intercourse with the COJBI of France. I have thourrhi it proper to call the aitention ot the diplomatic representatives of the two powers under whose authority the pri? vate rigli.B involved have been acquired io the position and authority of thiB government on the subject. In thus distinctly notifying you that in the absence of the assent to or concurrence in the proposed telegrapnic connection of me United S' ates, the proceedings of tho parties inicrest? ed must be t.<ken ia subm ssioa to the soihor i ty of t iis government in tbe premises, I am actuated as well by a de?iie that the private in?rente should not enfler unnecasaan disap I o:a meet, as by the purpose to place before general subject ni ita proper light. . ' -? . The policy of tbis goTeroment in respect to the allowance and regulation of foreign tele? graphic intercourse received very "deliberate consideration from Congress during its session of last winter, and a bill coveting the whole subject was sustained and passed in the Sen? ate, but at so late a day of the session as to have failed to be reached in the H .use of Rep? resentatives. It is quite probable-that this bill announces the policy and purpose of Con? gress, and tbat tho propriety of its previsions can hardly fail to s -euro assent. ' I therefore beg to call vour attention to the enclosed copy of the bill as pro bink- evi? dence of what CL>n litton of permission or reg? ulation of foreign telegraphic intercourse arc to be insisted upon by the United 3tat.ee. Accept, sir, the renewed assurances of my very high c jue ide ration. . j HAMILTON FISH. TBE WEAT BER AND TBE CROPS. ANDERSON.

It has been now tully a mooth ame J we have had a good shower of rain, and the thermometer baa sel? dom been lower th a o 90 degrees, and for sev? eral 'days past has ranged from 93 to 96.

The gardens are lite? rally burnt up, and we fear when the rain does , come, lt will be too late to save the highland crone. CHESTERFIELD. The Democrat of the 15th says : It is scarcely within the memory of the old? est citizen, when we have had so many scorch ing, melting .weltering days in succession, as we have had for some two weeks past, or more. For about five weeks we have had no rain. Ibe gardens are burnt np; corn nearly des? troyed, and even king cotton droops aod shriv? els. LANCASTER. The Ledger of the 15th says : The number of weather prophets just now are numerous, and nooe have seen their proph? ecies verified. The beat is excessive, and the crops are suffering a great deal. LAURENS. Tbe Herald says: The sun, without abatement of his wrath, conti nnea to pour down Iii a intenso jaie. The crope are beginning to fail generally. Tbe early corn already seriously impaired, aod the cotton wearing still a look of life, but making no advanoemsnt. Without ram, and that shortly, corn most be a failure in these parts, and the cotton prospect bnt little better. The corn was most promising until the last eight or ten days. We peat for rain. THE CHER AW ARD 8ALIS BURT RAIL? ROAD. ? We learn from the Salisbury (N. C.) Exami? ner that the meeting held at Gold Hill on Tues? day last, for the parpo? of pushing forward the above road, was a success. The Examiner says: A large assemblage of the leading Citizens of that vicinity were present. The subject of building the road was fully discussed by various geotlemeo. Tbe President, Major Townsend, set forth his plan, which met the approval and raised the hopes and spirits of every hearer; because bia plan is so simple, practicable, sa? gacious that it commends itsell at once to men of common sense. The people ot Gold Hill were ask ,<d to sub? scribe five hundred dollars to aid in surveying, localing, and estimating the route. They raised the best part of it at onca, aod have no doubt secured all ot it before this time. Salis? bury, on Mondav, raised fifteen hundred for this purpose. Ch,-raw, tho other day, raised eight hundred, and by this time has made up a thousand. All ibis makes tbreo thousand dol? lars. The rest of the line will easily raise the balance required for the sorvey, Atc, and the snrvey will be made at an early day. And that will be followed of? by work, work, work, and we shail soon build this road. Wo shall expect to see this road put throne;h quickly. Unity and energy among its friends along tbe line will place this beyond a perad? venture. And what a magnificent thing it will be when done! Wilmington and Charleston will be our next door neighbors; in fact, we shall be so near to Cuba that wo cm smell pineapples 1 CHINESE LAROR.

Vigor oozes through the skin at every pore, and it is by physical vigor only that unheal? thy influmces can be bain>J and repelled. Th? vi? tal elements are evaporated ia perspiration. Intense heat converts a man into a self-actln.- pump, and the moisture that la pumped out of bim is derived from tbe well ??rings of life within him. There Is great need, therefore, that these sources ot physical strength should be in a condition to bear, without danger or IL convenience, the extraordinary drain. If they are not in Such a condition, tbs individual becomes languid and low-spirited. The main thing is to koep the digestive apparatus in good working ti ina; for if tho stomach, the pur? veyor of the system, does its duty thc roughly, the liver, the bowels, the brain, snd the nervous sys? tem, being duly nurtured, will be likely to do theirs.
