All letters sent hence after that date must be prepared at tho rate or len cents per half ounce or under, and newspapers two cents caoh, thc same ratos to bo culleeted on letters and papers received herc at ihc offices or delivery. -President Grant hopes io have tho Harlen ship canal well under wny before the close or b's administration, and, to further mts work, has or? dered the Secretary or thc Navy tc dctnil a suffi clent force to mukc thc necessary surveys of the Isthmus. No doubt ls entertained that thc treaty already negotiated will bc miltie 1 by thc Colum? bian Government, mid lu view or this rael Hint government hus accorded permission to the Enlt od States to cause the requisite surveys tobe made. -At a hotel in Sonoma, California, on thc 13th, one William Hurd, who was drunk, said lo Wil? liam Hudson, his friend, also drunk, with whom he lind never quarrelled: "1 wish you would cul my thront, or my head off." Hudson replied: "All right; 1 can do it foryou lu u few minutes." Soon arter Hudson borrowed- a knife, relumed where Hurd was silting, and indicted a severe wound in lils neck, causing almost Instant death. Hudson was arrested for Huts accommodating his friend. -Thc Earl of /.elland, who luis held thc position of Grand Master ot' the Freemasons of England for twenty-six years, has announced that it is not his intention again to oner himself fur nom> nation to thc ofllcc ul thc Grand Lodge lo bc held In December next. Il ls believed thai Hie Enrl De Grey and Ripon, who titus held thc om ce of Deputy Grand Master since thc retirement of thc Earl or Dalhousie, will bc pul In nomination for the ottlec or Grand Muster. Tho Prince of Wales, too, has recen Hy Joined Hie craft to he nominated. -It is now the law in Prussia that a mc!o can? not bo considered lo have arrived at his majority until bc ts twenty-lour years or age. The Prus? sian uni hoi h ies aro now discussing a bill which leclares every male -Prussian lo lie of nge when bc arrives at his twenty-first year. If the bill passes ii will go Into operation next April. There arc six mid a hulf millions of young men who will bc advanced in life hy this new arrangement should lt go into operation. In Holland, Ilelglum, Duly, Frunce mid several South mid North Ger? man Stales thc period nf twenty-one years hus always existed and works admirably, without ever having been complained of. -Tim New York correspondent of thc Philadel? phia Ledger writes: "Shipping houses again re? port lower freights 011 Aliantic voyages. Thc de? pression or berth Yates to Liverpool is largely due to Hie pressing necessities or thc steam tonnage in thal trade. This class of vessels arc obliged to leave on their regular day-, and nra often com? pelled to make liberal concessions In order to ob? tain freight. In some cuses wheat tins been taken as low us live cents. Thc chartering de? mand ls mode rc e, thong ii lhere ls rat her more inquiry for petroleum tonnage. West India and South America business ls very dull, and rates favor charterers. In the way ot cotton charters there ta little or nothing doing, the amount of tonnage at thc principal supply ports being in ex? cess ot ihe demand." -Tho reported recall of tho Rnrllngame Em? bassy is capable-admitting the news io ba au? thentic, as thc China correspon tent or the Alta California assorts that lt is-of two interpreta? tions. The first ls Hint the Emperor, desiring to have personal Information of tho progress made with the treaty powers, recalls the Embassy, not out of any dissatisfaction with what has been tra-^, but for the desire lo know more definitely what baa been done, and whnt Its ciroct ls likely to bc. In that view, tho news ls not specially Im? portant. But thcro ts another interpretation, ac ' cording to which tho news tieoomcs exceedingly important. The probabilities seem to lie that the .yr g nal design ot the Embassy was to show, jiet what China would do, but what it would nut ito, mut why it would not. lt wm dispatched shortly arter new and pressing demands hud ticen made on the Emperor by the Western pow? ers. Those demands, tor various reasons, thc Emperor and hts various provluclul governors were not disposed to concede; and lt was to de? precate the employment of force, apparently, that thc Embassy wns sent out. ?ul Mr. liar Uugatne diplomatically presented, initier, the great progress mude In I'lilnn, nnd Its desire to become one of the Ituei -depeudent family of na? tions as n method of conciliation, and lt ls, there? fore, (|iilie possible that tho Emperor,displeased with the popular Impression so created, as com? mitting bim, tacitly, to more than he ls willing to perform, now seeks lo undo this Impression by re? calling the whole legation. Opening of (tic Academy. Tho Charleston Academy of Music was formally opened last nielli, and Hie chief city or Soul h Carolina rejoices in the pos? session of a lyric temple worthy in every particular of our people and our State. t It needs not now lo ?peak of Hie dllllcul ties, dangers and embarrassments whicli havo licen met und overcome. There is in thu simple fact Hint we record this day u mute eloquence more winning than words nn unwritten story of bruin and muscle, of uiillugging energy und patient toil. Th? broad liberality of un adopted child of South Carolina, joined to the skill and dex? terity o? u Charleston architect and of Charleston workmen, have given to this city nn cdiflco which luis no superior even in the metr?polis favored of fortune, whore marble palaces und gilded spires kiss thc evening sky. ll is our own work-a monu? ment of Hie activity and o? the Ingenuity of our people. Thc Academy of Music is tho Hist public building of Importance erected in Charles* ton since fiery tongues leapt from roof tree to plnnnclo, (rom ?Ular to fireside, from the shores of lite Cooper to tlie broud wa? ters of* Hie Ashley. And .surely Hie thoughts of some who, rank above rank, gave life to tlie glittering horseshoe yesternight, tra? velled back to tlie time when Charleston was rich, and Carolina was free; not in a spirit of gloom mid discontent, not in doubt and misgiving, bat with a feeling that Hie brilliant scene around them was a welcome harbinger of tlie spriug-Hme of fortune-the forerunner of long years of happiness and peace. Il was indeed a glo? rious sight to sec; a sight lo make tlie old heart young, to brush tlie cobweb from the brain, and to strike thc roots of hope deep into thc b030in of despair. Tho Acade? my of Music is open. The play and players now demand our care. Thc Celestial Deluge. Wendell Phillips looks on hopelessly upon the progress of thc Chinese immigration, as Do Tocqueville contemplated tho rising del? uge of Democracy. Indeed, the language of tito French philosopher on tho one sah? ject may have suggested that employed by the arch agitator upon ono of "The Ques? tions of To-morrow." The Intler repre? sents the Anglo-Saxon and tlie Chinaman, ench as a world power which moves onward lo its purpose as irresistibly ns a law of fate. In Iiis usual metaphorical, hyperbolical and paradoxical way, lie desorilles either race as a bulwark which no deluge can submerge and n deluge which no bulwark can withstand. Every previous eonllict iii our history will bc forgotten, ho prophecies, when theso in uoiiiiuiuiu meus fairly meet, ir Mr. riiil lips' promises arc true, bis predictions of mobs and social earthquakes yield "a most '.lamo and impotent conclusion." The prob? lem is one that can have no solution except the fate of thu Kilkenny cats. Thc thoughtful Observer of the resources mid needs of tho country may, perhaps, form a diifcrcut judgment of thc result of thc Chinese immigration, now numbering two hundred thousand, und still pouring in through the Golden Gate. He will remem? ber that thc apprehensions now entertained in regard to Hie Celestials, once Bought lo obstruct tho way of thc Irish and Germans, who constitute so important and useful an element in our population. Tho live mil? lion immigrants who landed on our shores bel ween the years 1820 and lS?O, aud tho one million seven hundred thousand adde.l to their number during the eight subsequent years, have not interfere.! with any industry, nor jostled any laborer on thu wide Hold of ?ur republic; lint have added materially to its prosperity und its power. And thc ob? server, of whom we speak, will rellcct upon Hie fact that wc inhabit an almost virgin continent-a territory capable of sustaining between three und four thousand millions of souls; that we trample under foot tv minorai wealth such as cannot, be exhausted hy thc labors of a hundred thousand years; that thc great need of tho land is labor-on and on for countless centuries. What machines have done for the manu? factures of England, immigration will do for thc agricultura 1 development of the Southern Stutos. It will multiply power ind power multiplied is national wealth anti greatness. So of our mineral treasures; ron and copper, gold and and silver, marble ind slate nnd granite, kaolin and marl und ;oal, and whatever else Nature garners in icr secret vaults, arc idly awaiting tho ad? mit of labor. If England's coal bed, but three hundred Bquure miles In extent, m oves, ns we uro told, 18,000,010 of spindles, what, results may we not anticipate when the vast joni bed of tho South, oxtoildlng from Ma? ryland to Alabama, lias boon fairly opened, iud thc iron fields running continuous with 1 cvon begin to bc worketl ? So far as thc Chinese laborer :s concerned, loth Australia and California show that ho ;an bo utilized. Ho ls frugal and tractable. [Ie is peaceable, contented and industrious. [Ic needs direction, like every other subject )f what ls called a paternal government; mit he can and will work. We have always recorded to him a certain culture, retitled .MIoiigh after its sort- a wonderful dexterity jf hand and Ingenuity of invention. But Lue Pacific Railroad proves what hard, pa? tient, efficient work those thia children of the East can do. Wo need them among us ; ?nd let us remember that they aro entitled, when they como, to our sympathy and pro? tection. _ LAND COMMISSIONER and Senator C. P. Los Ho declares that tho statements made In Tun CliiAiii.KSTOM NEWS, In regard to tho workings of thc Land Commlslson, are-totally untrue. Wo glvo the denial ol Mr. Leslie for what lt ls worth. At thc same Umc, wc beg to express the confident opinion that our Columb a cor respondent, wo jld not havo modo tho charges, had Ito not been in possession of in ormullon Huillcient to convince him that they bad a Bubstantlal foundation in fact Looking Hine. Our contemporary thc Columbia Phosnix takes ii gloomy view of things, ami is of the opinion Unit "the agricultural intorosts of "thia Sinti? hm o received a blow" from thc recent Labor Convention which "will lia "felt another year." We do not apprehend such ?1 result. Al thu opening of tho convention tho temper Of the delegates was warm and violent, und it seemed probable that thc oxlravngnnco of their demanda would make il Impossible for the ?Stute press to give Hiern either coitn tenanco or support Their excitement, however, soon subsided, and what the con? vention Dually settled upon, in the Torin of u memorial lo Hie General Assembly, contains little timi is objectionable, and much that m oe Ls with our cordial approval. Wo assume that tho white people of the Slalo desire to be both just and liberal, in dealing with the laboring population. The man who cheats thc laborer, whether by "duo bills" or by the legerdemain of nrith inetie, deserves to bc scourged out of Hie society of all decent people. Nothing is lo bc gained by knavery and tricksten nj and our farmers and planters know it. All that tho Labor Convention asks for, is tho adoption of certain measures which will, in thc opinion of the dolosa les. give to thu laborers a moro complote protection against fraud than they have hit tu rto cn joyod. They make no demands for extra? vagant wages-all Hint they demand is pro? tection. This they ought to have, and will have. And if by peaceful combination mid concert of action they cnn improve their condition, ?nd make lifo morn enjoyable, tho whole Slate will have reason to re? joice. Tm: Cuban resolutions introduced by Elliott. Um kinky wnr-horso ol* the Slate House ol' Representatives, have actually passed, and South Carolina stands pledged-M far as the Oenernl Assembly can pledge it-to give "the last man and last dollar" lo thc United Stales Government, If that excellent Institution should go to war willi Spain. The "last (white) man" our sable legislators may bc both willing and anxious lo otter up as a sac? rifice on thc Cuban altar, but anless the war comes quick the "last dollar'' will have llnnlly disappeared In the capacious pockets ol* Scott, Klmplon, Elliott, and the other light-fingered gentry of "the party." Tim members of the Legislature declare Hint .bulge Carpenter has boon faithless lo his judi? ?la] trust. What they mean is, thal ho has not feared to tread on thc toes of "tho party," and has decided thc cases brought before bim ac? cording to bis understanding of thc mw of thc land. Under tho circumstances, Radical cen? suro should bc more honorable than Radical praise. Tun railroad lobbyists, undaunted by Scott's message and :the Senate resolution, have as? sembled at Columbia, mid propose to com? mune? operations at*once. Al present, Ute market for voles is steady, with Mittle dolus. WiuoiiT, McKinlay and DoLorgC, all color? ed, enjoyed the pleasures of a verbal triangu? lar duel, In thc House on Tuesday. They abused each other roundly, and then UUscd* mid inndo friends. Nobody was hurt. <Eo Rent. HOUSES, FARMS, STORKS, ROOMS, Ac, now vacant, can readily he rented by u.ivortiBlng them this colman.
