* r VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1157. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR BY TELEGRAPH. EUROPE. THX LONDON TIMES ON THE COTTON QUESTION AND TEE 11MCB CRISIS-CH ABLES DICKENS POLITICAL CBEED-LOBD CLARENDON ON THE TBNTTBX 07 LAND QUESTION-THE PEACE PB08 PEOT IN EUBOPE. LONDON-, September 29.-The Loo don Tim38, in an article on the cotton question, says: "If cotton is dear with its increased production, because of new spinning conn tries bidding against us, then the Liverpool quotations are unintelligible. Ii spinners not only carry Off the raw material, but curtail their demands for oar manufactures, the state of trade is un* intelligible also. On these suppositions it is useless to cry for more or cheaper cotton, the evil arising only from theiss of the monopoly. The cotton demand is limited, and competi? tors diminish our share of the manufacture. We cannot discern* that cotton at sixpence per pound would bring trade back to England. We lost it by the loss of the raw material; but since then so many events have occurred af feating this great industry, that it is necessary to diatriba te or apportion their several results in the state of things before us." The Times says: "The coincidence of the Emperor's sickness, and the reconstruction of the government, isa serious misfortune. The energies of the Emperor cannot be well spared ?t such a crisis. B9forms come unfortunately while the Emperor is incapacitated, and at a time when be is most required. Speculations of the people on uncertainties, aod opportuni? ties of the future, are so encouraged as to aug? ment the public disquietude. If the crisis bad occurred ten years ago, the Emperor could have brought to work the energies he carried into the Itali tn campaign. lithe experiment had then succeeded, France would now possess a generation of statesmen with some parlia? mentary experience. Thoonly question is, wac Ute prospect of sue ce ono clear then as to justify precipitating instead of postponing the trial? The present peril, serious in any case, is aggravated by the Emperor's enfeebled health. But peril of some kind has been the prospect of the go ver o me nt for the past two generations." * Lord Clarendon has returned from Paris. 'He delivered an address before Hartfordshire Agricultural Society to-night, in the course of which be acknowledged the subject of the tenure 01 land in Ireland momentous, and a vital one, bot should not be considered as a party question. The evil connected with the land system must be abated. The solution was diiScuIt, but not impossible. Government wc old not adopt any wild or subversive scheme. The promoters of euch a plan were the enemies of an equitable settlement, aod no ftiendot Ireland. He asked if lhere was language strong enough to condemn landholders Tho evicted the tenant and reaped the whole benefit of the tenant's labor and expenditure. This course was two often followed, and the evil must be abated. He believed the rights of property should be scrupulously upheld, and its duties rigidly e nforced by law. Government, he said, intended to introduce a measure which would command the respect, support and praise of every honest man. In conclusion, be alluded to the present condition of Europe,, and ex? pressed toe opinion that at no time within the. post taree years bas there been a fairer r'ot pect of continued peace than at present. Charles Dickens opened the winter sessions of the Midband Institute at Birmingham last evening with a pleasant speech. After review? ing the history of the ins ti tat ion, and offering advice for its future management, be touched upon other subjects. The present, be said, was a materialistic age. His political creed con Jd be .nrnmed up in two articles : His faith in the people governing was infinitesimal ; his la th in the people governed illimitable. Archbishop Cullen, in reply to a deputation bearing an address from citizens ol Wexford, Ireland, said : By moderating demands, not j by interfering with legitimate rights, any class of industrious tenants would enjoy the results of Sabor in undisturbed tranquillity. Father Hyacinthe will be defended in the council, it is said, by the Bishops of Avignon, Rheims, Chalons and Bayeux. POLITICS IN TEXAS. NEW O KLEAN, September 80-Tbe Times bas a special dispatch from Breabam, Texas, dated yesterday, which says : The editors of Demo? cratic newspapers in convention here have nominated Hamilton Stuart, of Galveston, as their candidate for. Governor, and he bas ac? cepted. A fnll straight out Democratic ticket will be put forward. Forty newspapers are - pledged to its support. Much enthusiasm prevails in the convention. General Davis - will address the people of Brenham to-morrow night. Judge Connor, Chief Justice of Honduras, was one of Captain Morrill's Trade Wind party picked up by the steamship Clinton. They were near three days without water. Their sufferings were very great. Some of tbe men became delirious, one of whom jumped over? board and was drowned. CONDITION OF THINGS IN WAEL 8TE?ET-AFTER TEE GALE. NEW TOKE, September SO.-The events of ? yesterday produced comparative calmness on Wall street. Little business was done in the Gold Boom or Stock Exohacge, and outside the street seemed deserted. Many injunctions were issued restraining tbe action of brokers and morned corporations, and have had the effect to brine business almost to a standstill. Gold was sold to-day at the Stock Exchange, but under protest. A small knot of gold brokers also transacted business in the Gold Boom, but there was no excitement, and the sales were small._ THE STEUGGLE IN CUE A. NEW YOES, September 30_The Herald has a special dispatch from Key West, claiming that the battle of Los Tunas was a victory for tbe Cubans, j All Spaniards who could not gel into the stronghoH were captured ?nd killed. .

Frosts have occurred in various portions of TJrinois, and in some instances seriously in? juring the cora crop, which is generally two or three weeks behind in growth. ALL AR O UT THE STATE. CHAMPION COTTON PICKING. A iriend at Pomaria furnishes the Newberry Herald with tbe result of five days' cotton picking last week, by four bands employed on his place, two of whom are over fifty years of age, and one a young Swede, seventeen years old, brought out by the Newberry Immigra? tion Sociotv. The result is as follows: First day 822 pounds; second 881; third 900; fourth 915, aud fifth 1036; total amount 4573, beine; an average of 229 pounds to the hand. Pretty good picking, this. THE WEA TE EE IN SUMTES. Sumter has had rain, aud the dry and dusty earth has been- well watered. On Saturday and Sunday there were several good showers, and on Sunday night a real storm. Since then the weather bas been ooo], rendering dre and thick clothes quite comfortable. THE BJ CE CHOP. The Sumter Watchman says: "The rice crop in this section, we are informed, will be almost an entire failure. The pea and potato crop will also be very light, i he-e, coming in con? nection with the short corn crop, mast pro? duce much-carcity the coming season. Dry weather baabeen the cause mainly." THE DH OUGHT DJ CLARENDON. Ia Clarendon the weather for the past three weeks has been exceedingly warm and dry, no rain until Friday afternoon, when there was a pleasant little shower. Many of the wolla bave been exhausted of their supply ot water, and ibe want of a sufficiency is becoming distress? ing. In one neighborhood there hos b^cn no rain with the exception of a slight sprinkle since*. Match last, the wells in the same neighbor? hood had to be sunk leeepr twice, and srill 1 water is scarce. Theory weather has short? ened tho present cotton crop much more than was expected even two weeks since; the hot sun aud the want of rain is effecting tho aa matured balls seriously, causing them to open before they are fully developed. THE TUADE OF MANNING. The Clarendon Press says: "Utnoing is be? ginning to look up with regard to trade. Our merchants are giving aa much for cotton as can be obtained in any neighboring town, and they are selling all kinds of goods at very cheap rates. We understand that one of our merchants within the pa?t six wooka bas bought upwards of forty bales of cotton, and aa others have been equally as active since tbe season set ia, we naturally presume that Man? ning has grown to be a considerable cotton market. The lands of the district beiog rich anti well adapted to the growth of the article, is a proof of our assertion." SHREDS OV STATE 5EW3. Squire Sam Chapman, of Newberry, lost his ginhouse and a small quantity of cotton on Thursday morning last, by the incendiary's torch. Fiae showers of ram fell ia Newberry Satur? day and Sunday last, which settled the dust and cooled the atmosphere considerably. The Bev. Charles Betts bas been appointed presiding elder of Darlington District, in the place ot Dr. B. J. Boyd, deceased. The scarcity of rain has lowered the. Con garee to such an extent that it has been ford? able for several days at Bates' Ferry and other points. Joseph GallucUat has been appointed by Governor Scott, magistrate for Clarendon County. S. A. B. Abbott has been apoointed commissioner of deed? for ttieS:ate ol South Carolina m the City of Boston. A letter from Long Cane, Abbeville, saya there will not be more than bali a crop of cot? ton made in that county. Of corn, there will be something over half a crop. A warrant has been issued against a Sumter police officer because he knocked dowu a boy wbo refused to be arrested aud showed fight. Mr. Bobt. Pitts, of Sumter, accidentally broke his arm a few days ago. A little girl was bitte J by a rattlesnake in Sumter, and recovered after several days of severe suffering. The fall term of the Court of Common Pleas for Edgefield County begins on Mond ty. An application for a divorce is to be considered. THE TOWNSHIP LAW. Important Action of the Convention of County Commissioners. The county commissioners of tbe different counties in the State met in convention in Co? lumbia on July 28. Oa motion of Commissioner McLaughlin, Commissioner F. Arnim, of Edgefield, wa? made permanent chairman. Commissioner from Abbeville was appointed secretary; Commissioner M. McLaughlin was appointed recording secretary. The chairman stated the object of the con? ference as follows: "The General Assembly passed, at the spe? cial session ol 1868, an aut to organize tawn 6hip8, and to define their powers and privi? leges. Tbe county commissioDers in tbo sev? eral counties have bad their attention called by the citizens to the provisions of the act, and are invited to ooofer about the object ?otu tbat have been urged lo it. The opinion en? tertained is, that tbe impoverished state of the country at the present tuno rende? it im? possible tor tbe people to poy tbe additional taxes, which the requirements under the act provide for; and, in vie it of this opinion, it is deemed wortby of tbe attention and considera? tion of ibis conference, in the proper dis? charge of their duties to the people of tbe sev? eral counties, to represent to the Legislature t be necessity of postponing the organization of townships tor a period often years at least, at the expiration of which, it is to be hoped, the State will be in a prosperous condition." Tho chairman a so called the attention of the commissioner* to tho impracticability of forming townships in South Carolina similar to townships in tho Nortbcm States, because of the limited population of this State, and the country places being so sparsely settled, clear? ly showing that the parties who got up this "Towushtp bill" had in contemplation a State of mucn larger population. It is, besides, very evident that those who favored and carried the bill had looked to tbe interest of the State and its improvement, but failed to consider tbe im? poverished condition of the people. The postponement ot' the election of county commissione^potii the ccncral election was shown to be important and desirable, for many strone reasons presented by toe chairman. Commissioner Fern ter offered tbe : lowing resolution: "Resolced, That Commissioner McL.-u.hlin, of Charleston, be, and he is hereby requested to draw up a memorial to tbe L?gislature, and submit the same at tho next conference of the commissioners, to be held at the Columbia Hotel, Columbia, S. C., on the. first Wednes? day in October, next, when they will consider tho same; and that he be requested to com? municate on the subject with ibe county com? missioners t bronghout the State. After transacting other important and neces? sary business, ihe conference adjourned to meet as specified in the above resolution. In consideration of the important question* involved in the aforesaid proceedings, it ia earnestly hoped that there will be a punctual attendance of all the delegates. THE TROUBLE ZJT WALL STREET. A Heavy Crash Impending. The financial squall that swept New York at the close of last week is to be followed by specie coming to this country from the banka of France and England, as well as from private treasuries. The dispatches specify large sums' without furnisbing an aggregate. Tho early termination of the flurry shows that no per? manent injury is inflicted by the concerted operations of many great brokers con? trolling large amounts of specie and foreign exchange. This in itself is calcu? lated to prevent any repetition of the conspiracy for some time. The supply of money for moving the Western crops will be freer, as now unlocked by the fall of the gold combination. An unusually heavy drain to the South is not anticipated, as the credits already extended thither will meet a portion of the current ship? ments. The Treasury Department bas given notice that it will not hoard currency, and will keep dorm the currency balance to the lowest point. Foreign exchange invites the importa? tion of gold, and two months hence the Treas? ury bas to pay the interest upon registerd bonds and cocoons not paid before maturity. Cotton is coming in rapidly, and breadstuffs shipments promise to be large, i he conspira? cy that threatened every one bas left the "en? gineers hoist with their own petard," and with? out other consequences that can injure. The New York ~'U-J of Tuesday, has tho following: Wad jtreet remains ia a state of virtual sus? pension. The hopes thal had been generally entertained by the public, and encouraged by the othcers of the (iold Board and the mana? gers of the Gold Exchange fcSuok.t hat yesterday would witness the termination of the disas? trous deadlock in financial affairs, and the re? sumption of business by all really solvent bouses, were blasted, and at the present wri? ting, despite the renewed assurances given us of a settlement of thed fflculty to-day, we have really no more reason to anticipate so desira? ble a result than on Saturday last. Indeed, the unpleasant and really alarming . rumors that were in circulation up town last night give ground tor the anticipation that more serious trouble uwaitB us t ban has yet bean ex? perienced. THE GRAND CRASH TO COME. The nine firms reported by tbe Gold Ex? change Bank yesterday morning as having failed to meet the requirements of the bank will carry with them a large number of smaller houses. A prominent broker, who carefully watched tbe dealings of Thursday and Friday, informed us that at least ninety firms would be compelled to succumb, unless tho houses yes? terday thrown ont of the Gold Exchange lia nit should resume and moot their obligations. THE LEADING SPIRITS. Jay Gould, and James Fisk, Jr., tbe two lead? ers of the great bull faction;, were non sunt yesterday. They could not be got at for love -or money, and it in said that large sums of money were offered by various brokers to know where Mr. Fisk wa?. lu Smith, Gould, and Martin's office. Mr. Gould's whereabouts could not be ascertained. Mr. Martin, the junior partner of the firm, blandly protested he knew nothing of the matter, and the knights-errant who sought the "Great I Am" left for fresh fields and pastures new. THE BROKEN BROKEES. The brokers who have been smashed in tbe fray are frantic with excitement. The larger firms can creep np the ladder again, but the majority of the unfortunate street specula'ora are ruined for life, the greater part of them pat every cent into this second South Sea bubble, and are swept away in the gene? ral wreck. They meet each other by instinct and shake bads consolingly; but that is all. There arc no invitations to taste a bottle of Veuve Cliquot now; ob, dear, no, they have lost all the gaiety ol bon vivants. Their principal way of wiling the hours away is trying to ascertain how much so and so bas made, and if they succeed in finding be is a lucky dog, they m'-et him with a cynical smile, envying him bis good fortune. Some, however, with Beranger's "Little Brown Man," think their pl?n is to lau.h at all that, and are bappy and jolly looking. Bot the majority are differentlv disposed, and look not the same, lt ie the way ol the world; the neb are always envied. THE CRISIS IE FRANCE. The Abdication Kamora- Thc Emperor's Physical S offerings-Tile Government Disorganiaved-The Empress and the Itcgeucy Decree, ?ic. A Paris letter of September 14th, to tho New York World, eave : The French Emperor is considered cured for the present; but the opinion seems general that his days arc numbered. Il is believed be may live for two years more; but this is tbe ex? treme limit. If this be tbe case the remainder of bis days will be devoted to seating hip house in order. He may abdicate in order to seat the Impenal Prince on the throne daring his (the former's) life, and truard as much as possible against tho disturbances it is feared bis death may produce. The state of affairs here is grave. Complete anarchy retgns in every portion of tbe government. 1 do not believe the Ministry of War would be found capable at this moment ot suppress ir g a formidable insurrection in Paris; tor there is not only a general disorganization of the government, but there is a widespread dispo? sition (for thc bret time since 1852, when the empire seemed secure. ) to avoid self-compro? mise tor the Emperor's sake. Nobody can bc depended upon. Tbe Emperor is in daily con? sultation with bis usual advisers, Duke do Per signy. General Fleury, M. Bouhor. The latter is said to bo charged with preparing confiden? tial noten for bis Msjosty upon tho various public mun who seem likely to be designated by public opinion for places in the new Cabi? net. I' -me passes. Badioal parties aro quiet only because they believe the death of the Emperor and the fate ol tbo empire to be at hand. Of all the extraordinary incidents wo arc wit? nessing, none is stronger than the agitation which bas begun and is sustained by influen? tial prople to repeal tbe decree appointing the Empress tbe recent, and to constitute at once tho regency which shall govern the empire during the Imperial Prince's minority. L'Opinion National holds tho following lan? guage on this subject: "A government must bo organizod, for we have no government now, aud it ia of urgent necessity that one should be formed, it is true, the Emperor is only sixty-one years old: but be bears tbe weight "of a great deal ot toil and of a great many carce. His life liai been agitated, laborious, anxious. Events bave throwu on lum the fatigues of office, and he has not always refused thc fatigue of pleasure. What would there be astonishing it his robust bat tired constitution were no longer equal to the duties thrown ou bim bv the daily handling and daily detail of business. And it this foreseen, this almost inevitable weakness occurred at tbe very mo? ment when tbe nation awoke, when a new life animated all tbe institutions of government, would it not be wise, prudent, politic to relieve as soon as possible the executive power of all tbe duties which are not indispensable, and to summon every class of the country to share a responsibility which bas become too heavy and too crushing for a single person ? Those who spoak of trial and exper ment, and especially those wbo hope tbe experiment will not succeed, and who talk of "giving the army the floor," in order to bring the country to its right senses, ore dangerous lunatics, who do not so much as suspect passing events or events in prepara? tion. It is necessary that thu experiment shall succeed; the essay must turn out well, other? wise we go on towards a revolution as certain as if it had actually begun." Be then goes on to say that the Senat us Consultara of the 17th July, 1836, provided for a regency, meets the contingency of tho Em? peror's death. Bat this solution, "whose le? gality cannot be questioned, has not the virtue of givipg confidence to every person." He ex? presses fears that the Empress may be over inclined to yield to the advice of the clergy, and he questions if a woman's hand would prove strone: enough to hold the helm during the etormv cri?is of a chango of retaca." It is cenerally considered that the object of these articles ie to procure the substitution of Prince Napoleon as regent in me empress place. I do not believe tbat the Empress would consent to this measure, lt would, too, be op? posed by MM. Ronner, De Lavalette, Baroohe, Drouyn de Lhuys and De Persigny. M. Picard (the deputy) urges the immediate convocation of a Constituent Assembly, and Le Temps sup? ports the proposition. It is believed that the Emperor, personally, is inclined to abdicate and accept the place of regent under bis son, and leave the Empress regent at bis death, wilb instructions to her to confide, like the Queen of England, in the ministry selected by the Legislative Chamber. M. Emile de Qirardin, after saying the French Emperor must frequently have asked himself: "Should 1 die prematurely, how may the sceptre KO from my hands info thoae of my son ? Would France, whi?h introduced the Salic law, accept, without resistance, the re ?rency of a woman ? Would france, whioh, in ess than a century, has victoriously hoisted tbe flag of three revolutions! and twice pro? claimed the republic, admit without opposition that ita honor, liberty, power, and prosperity should be confided to a government of a boy ? In what form will thia r?sistance, this opposi? tion appear ?" adds that the new amendments to tbe constitution will be the end of the present Emperor's reign, unless they prove the the beginning of a new reign. PERSONAL GOSSIP. -Someone has presented Andrew Johnson a wagon load of watermelons. -General Beauregard, it is said, is about to take a wife from old Virginia. -Charita Dickens' son, a lieutenant in the British navy, is at Portland, Oregon. -Roger, a well-known tenor of Paris, is com? ing to Kew York to start an operatic singing school. -Miss Kellogg, it is said, refused to see the Prince of Wales once, when that royal young fellow sent up his card. -Eugenie ohanged her toilette three times a day on her recent tour, mostly on the train when going at tbe rate of forty miles an hour. -Mr. Robert Bonner, of the Now York I Ledger, offers one hundred thousand dollars for a horse that will equal Dexter's recent time-a mile to heavy wagon in 2:21 ?. -It is tumored that Goberai Jordan has shown bis worst side by offering to sell hts en? tire command lo the enemy; but D? Rodas prefers to take the other stde.^pf Jordan. -Louisa Muhlbach is really coming to tbis country, and with ber Freden:a and Theodora, her daugbtere. Theodora is an actress; she sneaks English, and means to appear on the American stage. -Sir Roderick Murchison is still sanguine that Dr. Livingstone is alive, and that he will yet "emerge from South Africa on the same western shore on which he appeared after his great march across that region, and long after his lifo had been despaired ot." -The Philadelphia Press calculates Brigham Yoang's estate at ever so many millions, and suggests puzzling arithmetical questious con? cerning tbe collection of the income tax there? on. Tins is nothing, however, to the difficulty which will arise on thc demise of the polyga? mous prophet, when bis property will have to bo divided so as to give a third to each of bis twenty-five widows. , . a-1 \ -Tho Washington correspondent of ?he New York Tribune gives a refresbicg piece of news, that Mr. Jay Gould reqnested by telegraph, on Friday, that the steeretarv of tbe* Treasory should lend him 1800,000 for tbe purposes of the Erie Railroad, on bonds as security. He didn't get it, though he alleged that -he wanted it to pay laborers on heavy improvements. Thc Secretary was not duped to help his specula? tions. -Later loreign files contain many contribu? tions to the literature of tbe Byron case. Mr. William Howitt writes to the News that, so far from Mrs. Stowe being the sole repository of this story, Lady Byron had a weakness of in? flicting it upon most of ber lady friends; but they, more discreet, died without making them? selves ridiculous by publishing it. John Ro? bertson confirms this ?tateme ot, mentioning the Rev. Frederick Robertson as one to whom Lady Byron had related this tale. Her narra? tions and memoranda, Mr. Robertson says, were given away right and left, but tbe recipi? ents considered her mind touched. A CANDID RADICAL. Don Platt Reads hts Party a Lecture The Kadlcal Policy Cnmaaked-Kain for the Poor Man and Klebe* for the Wealthy Monopolist. Don Piatt. ono of the ablest and decidedly the most honest of thc Western Radicals, writes to tho Cincinnati Commercial : Since tho publication of my Harvest Home speech I have been cruelly read out of tho Re? publican party. Ono of my oldest friends, who edits the county printing in Ballefontaine, bas Sone and done it. He did it witb tears, but atv dictated, and with Roman fin?mes t be ex? ecuted his task and mc. i was not sound on protection, and had aggravated my crime by commenting on the thieves in oar party who are eound on proteotioo. It was painful, but it had to be do ie. So much Rom m firmness in so small a place is wonderful, lt ought to be bottled. I ventured to tell our friends in Washington last winter that unless they cheapened manu? factured articles, and so enhanced the price of agricultural products and lightened taxation, we could not bope to carry Ohio and Indiana tbis fall. And now that we aro threatened, my friends get nervous and insinuate that I am anxious tor a defeat, like a physician who, hav? ing given a profound diagnosis of an obscure disease, is anxious to have bim die so as to verify the doctor's science. Well, perhaps so; aa old Stapleton sud, "There is a deal of hu? man natnre in a man, and some in a vornan, too." Having taken upon ourselvo J, as a party or? ganization, tho eu tiro business of tho peo? ple, regulating prices and paying bounties, wo mu-t not complain wheo held responsible. While manaiacturors grow rich and tho agri? cultural iDtorcsts languish-while merchauts contemplate, in sorrow, their full shelves and empty store-rooms-while laborers seek in vain for employments and our harbors aro silent, we cannot cry out like Macbeth with train, when startled by the tonsorial condition of bis dead enemy's head. Tho people find themselves very mush in the condition of tho ass in tho fable, when his master urged him to flight, before the comng enemy. "Will they burden ?nd starve nr. more than thou hast done?" asked tho beasi?" "Certainlv not," responded thc man. "Then fly thyself, O. muter, for 1 will not fly.*' was the brutal, selfish response. One admires tho wisdom while condemning the lack ot patriotism in the donkey. Tho fact is, wo Republicans at the West ought to. before it is too late, define our posi? tions on theso grave question. And Governor Hayes, instead of wasting hm time in discuss? ing questiona ot State policy, before thin au? diences, ought to boldly avow what he firmly believes, that wo are not chained to the wheels of a nannied interest, that is as mean and selfish as it is unprincipled. ts- GUINNESS'EXTRA FOREIGN STOUT; BARCLAY, PERKIN-?

KINSMAN et nx-False imprisonment, $99 103-00 damagea. In Tort-The evidence abowa in the first place LAFAYETTE was arrested, by whom ia not known. It is true, thu the magistrate knew of his own knowledge, and both counsel were aware, that the magistrate knew that LAFAYETTE bad been arraated on a warrant issued under the hand and seal of L. BUNCH, magistrate, and on a paper professing to be an affidivit of Mrs. E. W. KINS? MAN, which paper was not signed by her; tb? read? ing of that paper, which was not in evidence, shows that Mrs. KINSMAN, if abe did make the ur der signed i tatemen t, believed, from the position of thc aald LAFAYETTE towardx herself, that he waa the only person who could have taken the watch and chain. LAFAYETTE, on a cross elimination, tes? tified that he knew when the chain wa? bro ken, and that be was Mrs. KINSMAN'S only servant and that he had free access to her bedroom, and that Mrs! KINSMAN bad no malice agalnat him at the time of the arm?t If ibis paper ls not taken in evidence, then the said LAFAYETTE himself tcatlflad that Mrs. KINSMAN did not on ct him, an I, therefore, the suit falls to the ground. If the paper ia taken aa evidence, it is a qui. st ion, in m j mind, whether Mrs. KINSMAN could be held for the action of the magis? trate, inasmuch aa she made no affidavit. This question, however, it is not my dnty to consider. In cases of this kind, malice and absence of reasona? ble acd probable cause arc necessary to sustain the suit. (Section 1, T. lt., p. 514-21 Howard, p. 511 Bill on Tort?, vol. 1, p. 416.) Both elements aro wontiDg under the leatiminy of LAFAYETTE him? self; this being my opinion, it ia not necessary for me to consider bow far the husband is liable for the toit ol' hit wlie.

To the PtopU of South Carolina: The above Company was organ zed in 1866, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. Tbe unparalleled success of the enterprise haa forced several of these companies to restore their Southern policies, irom the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the appearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to build up our impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in the State from which it ls de? rived. The institution is pnrely Southern, and hence shou'd appeal with great force to the patriotism and and sympathy of- every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com? panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by this purely Southern Company-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabili ties-the true test of a company's strength-ls second to none on this continent, being nearly $300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, hut bas also secured their hearty co-operation. Wc have secured COO policies in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We nnmber among oar Directors General Wade Hamp? ton and Colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known' to every citizen of South Carolina. We ap? peal personally to the people of South Carolina to assist in poshing forward thia deservedly popular Southern institution.

I am aware that thc season at which taxes became due this year bas made it burdensome for a large number of taxpayers to meet the demands of tb- government. According with tho approval of the Governor, extensions ot the time for the collection of taxes have been made to the full extent of the authority conferred by law. In order to give ample time to all who with to pay their taxes, it bas been decided to extend th? time for thc collec? tion of taxes to the 16:h of the present month. Jt is believed that by that time all who depend upon the sale of crops to meet their taxes, will have made sat I sfa c tory arrangements. You are, th?refore, instructed to proceed against delinquent taxpayers, inconformity to law, after the 13tb day of Cctober. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, REUBEN TOMLIN80N.
