Such a bargain would be beneficial, not only to the panics concerned, but to Europe and the world. The Americans can lose but little, while Uiey might gain a great deal. The island ought to become a new emporium for trade, and in the creation of such commercial stations, no people are more deeply Interested than ourselves. -Miss Stennecke was a malden lady, sixty-five . years old. living in Pennsylvania, worth $40,COO. ^5r. Schoeppe was a physician, practicing his pro? fession at the place where Miss s. lived. He be? came engaged to her, and they were to be mar? ried, when Miss S. was taken sick and died. During her iUness Dr. S. attended her. Immedi? ately after her death the doctor presented her will, attested by himself and his father, wherein the doctor was made her sole legatee. Thc natu, ral heirs scened the doctor of murder. The stomach or the deceased was submitted to analysis; prussic L lil was declared to be de .tected: lue ooctor was tried, convicted, and 1? now under sentence of death. But thc ?hei: testimony has been carefully examined, all the facts Investigated by the highest medical ability, and the evidence alleged to be iusutllcicnt to justify conviction. The analysis is proved to have been imperfect, and the death shown to have probably resulted from a natural cause. Yet Governor Geary refuses to extend Executive clemency, and thc doctor seems doomed to die on the gallows within a few days. A Theme for the Time s. There is no royal road to knowledge, and. "n general every community and every class must solve for itself the practical problems of the ago. nut an understanding of what others lune accomplished, under similar cir? cumstances, may facilitate the solution of grave questions in social and economic sci? ence, and, while the Trades' Unions now forming in the South may be long in reaching the highest degree of usefulness, we feel that their value may be increased, ami their legiti? mate powers enlarged, if Trades' Unions and their purposes, through the means of the press, are better and more thoroughly understood. And this may be accomplished by passing in review the history of these associations in England, where there are not less than 2000 Trades' Unions, and where they have shown in full force the errors we desire to avoid, as well as the good qualities which the Trades' Unions of the South desire to emulate and surpass. In England there are two classes of Unions-the Trades' Union pure and simple, which aims at protecting the workman against the employer; and, secondly, the Trades' Union which combines that object with the character of a Friendly or Provi? dent Society, and which undertakes to se? cure to its members certain benefits of allowance in sickness or accident, superan? nuation in old age, and payments in aid of funeral and other expenses. The combina? tion of the two objecta certainly impairs the financial soundness of these bodies. The revenue which forms the insurance fund is hable to bear the exhausting drain of a strike, and is the purse from which the capitalist is to be fought with his own wea? pons. The workman who has paid his dues for years to provide against "a rainy day" is exposed in this way to serious danger. There is also the doubt whether the contri? butions of thc members, at the usual rate, will meet the demands made upon them for benefit purposes only. The general opinion in England is that, under thc most favorable circumstances, thc contributions or dues are totally insultiert to secure the benefits specified. Nieson and Dr. Farr publish statements upon this subject in the Registrar-General's Report, and if there is anything in the calculations of these eminent actuaries the societies will inevi? tably come to ruin, and the longer they last before the crisis come ?e more widespread the ruin will be. Thes- views are fully ex? plained in the reporta of the Royal Com? missioners submitted to both Houses of Par? liament in 1867. It must be borne in ;;iind that the Ameri? can Trades' Unions, of which wc have knowledge, are not as lavish in making promises as the English tenions arc. Thc amalgamized society of carpenters and join? ers, for instance, gives the following bene? fits: When ent of employment $2 50 a week for twelve weeks, and $1 50 for twelve weeks more; sick benefit S3 a week, or $1 50 a week as long as the sickness continues; ac? cident benefit, $500; emigration benefit $30; superannuated benefit for life, if a member twenty-five years, $2 a week ; if member a eighteen years, SI 75 a week; if a mem? ber twelve years, SI 25 a week; funeral benefit $60. This the English society pro? poses to provide for by a contribution of $1 a month,. with an entrance fee ranging from $1 75 to S5. In regard to this socie? ty the Royal Commissioners report that, if the plan of having an uniform rale of sub? scription for all ages is to be adhered to, the dues should he at least five dollars a month, instead of one dollar. All these amounts arc in gold, at the rate of four shillings sterling to the American dollar. Taking an American society as an exam? ple on thOjOther side, we have the Charles? ton Typographical Union which pays in case of sickness S3 a week, equal lo ?>2 10 in gold, and gives a funeral benefit of 830, or $21 in gold, thc monthly contribution being 50 cents, or 40 cents in gold. One half of the dues are applied to benefit purposes, but it seems clear euough that the Charleston society is in a stronger posi? tion than its English brother. Wc think that we have said enough to show the necessity of holding the benefit fund inviolate, and of exercising thc great? est care in regulating the scale of benefits so that more may not be promised than can certainly be performed. At this point we leave this branch of the subject of Trades' Unions. WE are indebted to the Columbia corres? pondent of the Charleston Courier for the gratifying intelligence that Congressman Whittcmore "thinks the Republican party "will carry the State next year by thirty-five "thousand majority. The following counties "are put down as probably Democratic: "Lexington, Spartanburg, Union, Ilorry, "Pickens, Anderson and Greenville. The "doubtful ones are Lancaster, Marion and "Chesterfield." Considering that tho Radi? cal majority lost year was only 17.0G4, und that the Radicals were defeated tit that time in only fifteen counties, the estimate of Congressman Whtttemore is a very mode? rate one. Tho backbone of thc party m dst i and shall be preserve!, if Whitemore can '? do it ! _ ONE point made by the Radicals in Co? lumbia against Judge Carpenter, is that Ute 1 clause in the presentment of the Grand Jury of Orangeburg Couuty denouncing the ma- ! gistrates as incompetent, and as thorough 1 nuisances, was "inserted by thc request'' of the Judge himself. This is not true. Judge Carpenter appreciates the responsi? bilities as well as privileges of his posi? tion, and was not guilty of the impropriety of suggesting whom or what the grand jury I should, or should not, present. j THE Decenter number of thc Rural Caro? linian is out, and from thc casual glance that we have given at its contents, we judge it to be no whit inferior in interest and value to those which lave preceded it. Planters who wish to get this capital magazine should avail themselves o? Uto oiler held out during tho remainder of the present month to sub? scribe, at a greatly reduced price, to I'HK NEWS and the Uural Carolinian in combi? nation. Thc "Way to Do lt. Doctors differ as to the best way of curing the evils of the present Township system, with Ita seven hundred and forty townships, its five thousand one hundred and eighty oflicers, ami its yearly cost of more than eleven hundred" thousand dollars. One plan is to suspend tito operation of thc law for ten years. This is plain enough. Another plan is to suspend lite Township law in part, and elect a special commissioner for each township, who shall report upon the condi? tion of roads and bridges, and upon the condition o? tho poor, and who shall, also, draw jurors and attend to thc working of the public highways. Upon this basis the cost of tho township system would be only $59,200 a your. Even this is far too much. The Couuty Commissioners can discharge the duties proposed to be imposed upon the Township Commissioners. All that is stip? ulated to be paid to these new commission? ers is SSO a year, and at this price it will be exceedingly difficult to obtain good work from any Radical official The County Com? missioners should be willing to take, upon themselves thc extra labor, finding their re? ward in self-praise if not in public approval. A simple and unconditional suspension of the Township law for ten years is the wisest course to adopt, and the General Assembly, which does so much for the injury of tito State, should be willing, once in a way, to pass a measure which will be a welcome re? lief to every taxpayer in South Carolina. Thc Township law, es it stands, is a mon? strous swindle-an infamous attempt to seize another slice of thc earnings of the people. Among the township officers, how? ever, are many gentlemen of high character and good standing, who allowed themselves to be elected, or sought elect ion, because a bad law is made worse when administered by rogues and rascals. These gentlemen, who occupy in thc townships the same posi? tion that the Democratic members occupy in the General Assembly, cannot mako the law a good one; but they can, and do, in their particular spheres, prevent thieving, ex? travagance and waste. They accepted office on the ground that whenever a true and good mau is elected to office, however small it may be, another point is marked in tho game, and another step made toward ob? taining the control of the State. Th?3 is the true policy, and it ls deeply to bo regretted that the Democratic, officers cannot bc ex? cepted in terms, when it is necessary to con? demn and expose the corruption of Hie Legislature or the rottenness of the town? ship system. Their people, nevertheless, know anil appreciate the embarrassments and annoyances which a conscientious de? votion to the interests of thc State have brought upon them. >\vliut is opposed, what 's fought, what is condemned, is t he Radi? cal official. To him and his fellow?, and to them only, our denunciations apply. All parties agree in declaring that the Township law is unnecessary and unwise. The Radical County Commissioners them? selves cannot uphold a system which makes the township administration alone cost as much as the gross amount of the State tax? ation. All that is required is a straightfor? ward determination to give the people some relief, and tho law will be repealed or sus? pended without more delay. WE are obliged to our correspondent from Beaufort for thc information that Professor Fiske, of Harvard, is "not entitled to be "called a professor, " and is named John, not Janies. Thc "ame was either a mis? print or an Inadvertency, for we know very well that the Erie King was otherwise en? gaged in speculation. But as to the profes? sorship, we are obliged, until further notice, to defer to the authority of The World, in which his lectures arc published. That journal says, m an editorial notice: "H:ir "vard is the first of American colleges to "{Ure a chair to what has, in ?i fragmentary "way, existed since tho time of Bacon, but "has only lately come to be known as tho "positivephilosophy.(!) Mr. .lohn Fiske, one "of the most thorough and versatile scholars "in this country, as the readers of The World "know, has been chosen as the first Amcri "can professor to expound Hie sj stem." If our correspondent is right, 77c World is wrong, although Professur John Fiske is one of its regular contributors. As the Professor confesses that lie knows nothing us it is, perhaps The World, or perhaps our correspondent, may be in a similar predi? cament^ LBSUE, the incorruptible chief cook of the "Lund Commission," gives notice to tho world that Iiis precious institution "chal? lenges investigation." Il is unfortunate for the shrewd, but whimsical senator from Barnwell, that he has not been able to throw a sop to each of the envious "members of other departments" sufficiently sweet to in? duce thom to let him and his "fat thing" alone.
