NEWS OE THE HAT. -Gold closed in New York yesterday at 224. -In Liverpool cotton closed dull; uplands 12a 12Kd; Orleans 12Kal2^d. -In New York cotton closed dull and a shade lower, at Vk&sxo. -The Washington Corporation Attorney has decided that permission of a school trustee is suf? ficient to av. tn it a colored'child Into a public achoo!. -Mr. Schneider has been re elected pr?sident of the French Legislative Corps. It ls feared in Paris that there will be disturbances on the anni-1 Ternary of thc death of Baudin. -A negro killed a sheriff at New Iberia, Louis pi lana, the other day, and the citizens hung thc negro -Mexico is to have a Pacific Railroad, and thc ?right to build lt has been awarded to Samuel Brannan, of San Francisco. -The increase of duty on French textiles has created considerable agitation lu commercial circles at Manchester, England. -Prince Summaana and suite, from Japan, are en route, via Pacific Railroad, for New York, es? corted by a member of the firm of Eoopmanschaap 4 Co. -Two Mormon apostles are travelling In Massa chusetts, trying to make proselytes, and com? plain Utterly because Dr. Todd, who preached In their temple, refused to admit them to his pulpit. They say they belong to a corp of two hundred missionaries seht by Brigham Young to States Jbavlng more women than men. -The government works at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, were sold on Tuesday at auction. For the musket factory, on the Potomac, $176,ooo was received, and for the rifle rectory, on the She? nandoah, $30,000. The sale Includes tho buildings, grounds, and the magnificent water power at? tached to them. The purchasers will use the buildings for manufactories. -The Legislature of Vermont, at its recent ses? sion, exempted from taxation for five years all manufacturing establishments hereafter erected In the State, and all their capital and machinery, and also the new capital and machinery put into buildings not now used for manufacturing pur? poses, whenever the capital used amouuts to $1000 or more. The bill was opposed on the ground of doubtful constitutionality, but the need of thc .State overpowered all objections. -The Secretary of the Treasury has received a communication frc m Savannah, Georgia, asking that permission be given the Vernon Shell Road Company, or that etty, to Import from England, free of duty, a traction-engine to be used on their road between Savannah and Yernonburg. They state it la to be used as an experiment only, and If rt should prove successful would be of great . advantage to the country at large, as lt would facilitate iravsl between the railroad depots and atm river landings, and the agricultural products of. the country could be moved more speedily and atiesa expense than by teams. -A Southern Pacific Railroad, lt ls asserted, ls now in active progress, and will be completed much sooner than is generally imagined. Six distinct companies, created by as many separate State charters, lt ls reported, are now at work in building a Une from San Diego, California, to Norfolk, Va. This route, lt ls claimed, is nine hundred mUes shorter than the present Une hy? the Union Pacific and Central Pu. dc roads. The summits, lt ls stated, are lower and the grades less steep than on thc northern route, while ob? struction by snow ls almost an impossibility. The most eastern link in the chain ls the "Norfolk and -Grand Western Railroad," which runs through the southern counties or Virginia, from Norfolk .to Bristol, Tennessee, a distance of four hundred and thirty inUes. , -The Davenport Brothers, now in Chicago, are meeting with their usual success lu creating a sensation. A gentleman published in thc papers a challenge, offering to wager oue hundred dol? lars that he could tlc the Brothers so that they could not free themselves without cutting the ropes,at thc some time offering to bet another hundred dollars that he could prove that he had already so tied them. Au agent of thc Brothers -called upon the challenge:, offering to accept his proposition, but as they .minedlately disagreed on the matter of the rope that should be used, dhe affair came to nothing. The curious part of this case ls that (Tie challenger ls an ardent spiritualist, who believes In all the usual mani? festations of mediums, but regards thc Daven? ports* as humbugs. But the Brothers, lt is well known, do not now claim any spiritual assistance In their extraordinary pcr'ortaacces, but exhibit themselves simply as jugglers. -The vaults of the United States sub-treasury in New York City, two In number, are described as follows: The sides and roof are composed of | -eight feet granite masonry and two feet of iro--. plates. Between the layers of plates are musket (sails laid iu loose. The floor is composed cf thirty feet of masonry and two feet ol iron plates also with a layer of mnske: balls. Each vault is closed by four iron doors weighing two tons each, and fastened by two combination l"cys to etch door. The three Inner doors arc locked without a key, while the lockson thc outer ones are opera? ted' by means of an instrument about an Inch long by hair an inch wide. Each vault is about twelve fee square. On the s des of each apart? ment are bul.' one hundred and twenty chests of iron, each of the capacity or a quarter of a mil? lion dollars in gold coln. Each chest, when lui!. jj closed by an Iron door, and fastened with a lock which ls sealed, so that the door cannot be tampered with without breaking thc seal. -Thc New York Republic remarks, in connec? tion with the Richardson-McFarland shooting af? fair: "It ls interesting to recall that Dan Sickles, George IF. Cole and several other men have been acquitted of murder under suth circum? stances as comprised the meddling of other men with their wifes. We do not approve of such acquittals. We cannot deny, however, that jurors of the period make them. Nor can the other fact be obscured, that the divorce which Mr.-. McFarland ls reported to have obtained in Indi? ana from her husband will go for much here. These elastic divorces have received severa severe shocks recently in our courts, besides, ll would not be judicially impleadable In our State, because no legal cognizance is faked of the di? vorce decrees of a State which grants them as readily because of a woman's having redimir?s because or a man's Infidelity. Tllc divorce too was, it would seem, obtained without the knowl? edge of McFarland himself. He appears to have known no'Uing of any proceedings having been taken till the divorc was granted. His wife carpet-bagged to Iudiana for the purpose, re? alized it, and came back to bc married to Mr. Richardson. At 'this precise posture or affairs Mr. "McFarland shot Mr. Richardson." Pine Mast. History and public declamation are full of illustrations in regard to the influence of small things. The pulpit and the rostrum will not let us forget that break in the dam from a neglected leak : that discovery of gravita? tion from a falling apple: that improvement of the steam engine by the device of a lazy apprentice. The corner-stone .of John Quincy Adams' fame was laid when "in bib "and tucker" he proclaimed to the sons of the Pilgrims that ..Great streams from little fountains flow; Great oaks from little acorns grow." When he announced this profound principle to Massachusetts-this rich truth "married "to immortal verse"-Massachusetts at once determined to make that wise little fellow President, so soon as he should come of agc. According to The Nation, the labor move? ment which now agitates the whole country had a similarly unpretending and humble ori giu. As Massachusetts aspires to rule the country, the shoemakers aspire to rule the Old Bay State. Labor reform, as it is called, owes its inception, or at least its renewal, to "the Knight of St, Crispin"-a secret, oath-bound society, which, in that State, menaces thc public order and security, like the foot of the savage which Crusoe found upon the sand of his sea-girt realm. Only In the present case the invading foot is cased in a browu paper sole and a split leather upper? The St. Crispins have an S. K. and a K., and a F. S. and an R. S. and a "C. S, and a T. and a IT. and an A. U., and un L S. and an O. S.-in a word, a full com? plement of Algebraic dignitaries. They have resolved that no oue shall learn to make shoos without thc consent of the Or? der, unless he shall bo the son of a shoe? maker. They avow the intention "to pre? sent too many people from learning the "trade." When this society applied for in? corporation to the Massachusetts Legisla? ture, and the charter was refused, thc labor reform agitation began. They indignantly proclaimed that the servants of the public had thrown out a workingmeu's petition. They turned out en masse in Butler's dis? trict, nominated their candidates on the labor ticket, polled fifteen thousand votes, and returned from twenty to thirty labor members to the Legislature. And Massa? chusetts, having thus taken out her pocket handkerchief, the whole country sneezes, "as in duty bound." The attempt in this case is not to guard the laborers from oppression, but to create a mediaeval guild-to discountenance appren? tices and magnify t'.e wages of labor by lessening the number of laborers. The re? fusal of the Legislature to allow a labor caste to bo established, led to the establish? ment of the "workingraen's platform." The Republican orgau to which we have referred says: "Wo see no conceivable reason why "the same manoeuvring may not be repeated "in every State of the Union, and why it is "not established that a very dangerous party, "capable of exercising au enormous inlln "eiice for evil on the future of the country, "has not sprung up almost without our "knowing it. If the laboring population of 1 the country can really be induced, without "any cause whatever, to baud itself together "against tito rest of the community, we "have reached a serious pasa." This is bold aud honest speaking, and none the ?ess val? uable because it comes from the leading Re? publican journal of the United States. In the relations of labor and capital, the law of demand and supply is as supreme as in any other department of secular life. La? bor does not need any dignitaire in initials, or bishops fit partibus. The essential need for the prosperity of the workingman-a fair day's wages for a fair day's wor*.k-cannot bc supplied by the caste of Brahma or the lan? tern of Guy Fawkes. What we should seek for, is a good uuderstancung between the employer and the employed ; and then a fair field and no favor. A Fat Job. The general provisions of the gold bill, now before the Legislature, are these: SECTION I. That the print ?pal of all bonds and stocks of this State, and the interest there? on, shall be paid in gold or silver coin. Sac. 2. That tho Treasurer of this State is hereby authorized and required to mako the necessary exchanges through the Financia; Agent ol' this Slate, in New York, fur carrying this in'o effect. Ssc. 3. That this act. shall take eff.'ct imme? diately. The "interest" is a small matter to the Radical speculators. What they want is the power to pay tn coin the following amounts: 6 per cent, stock due 1S7?.$:il4,4 j:> 8 por cent bonds due 1871. 50U,OOU Total .$S14,453 Supposing that they buy up these securi ties at 60 or 70 per cent in currency, and obtain payment at par in (/old, there would be a profit on the transaction of about THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN OOLD. This is worth praying for, lobbying for and ' paying for ! TUE Unionville Times, speaking of the Labor Convention held lu3t week in Colum? bia, an:l the exorbitant demands it advo? cates, suggests the following remedy: "We would suggest to our readers a remedy against all those class comb nations; it is-sell land to negroes. Kuku the negroes lan -own? ers, when they have raeann to purchase, aud their Interest and yours become id?ntica'. In L'gs than three years very an ?-own. r, white or black, who does not iced on o llcial pap, will bc in the same ranks of opposition to extrava? gance, corruption and high taxation. Puffs. A -irriter ID the December number of The Galaxy maks some very good point*, in re? gard to "The Morals and Manners of Jour? nalism." Tlie following remarks in depre? cation of tho system of indiscriminate puff? ing, in which so many of our newspapers indulge, reflect so faithfully the sentiments of TMK NEWS on thc subject, that we repro? duce them for the edification of our readers and advertisers: i;The moat insidious foo to tho fair rame of journalism is the advertisement desk. Unfor? tunately for the Independence of journalists, the system of newspaper publication now is that the paper shall be sold al a price so low that little or no prolit comes of its circulation, which, from a business point of view, is valu? able only as it makes the paper a more desir? able medium of advertising, from which tho publishers expect to receive their gains. It would bc well for the honor and Independ? ence of journalism if not only this system were abandoned, but if no advertisemcntsut all were published in newspapers. The cor? ruption of tho press by this influence is roy great, and for it the public are hardly less responsible than the journalists. If men will not hesitate to offer a largo advertisement on the condition that its publication shall be accompanied by a favorable opinion ol the thing or the project advertised, if they will, upon a Journal's taking a course which they regard as inimical to their interests, withdraw their regular and necessary advertising from lt, as was recently done In a very conspicuous Instance by several insurance companies, they must expect that their demand will cause a sup? ply ol' thc 'article of journalist' suited to their taste. But when they lind that in other re? spects that journalist's opinion ls not perfect? ly trustworthy, that his 'indorsement' of some other man or project is not entirely disinterest? ed, it would be well for them to remem? ber, before they break out into denunciation of the press, that they aro merely having It meted to them as they have helped to mete If to others. Advertisemunus must be pub? lished in newspapers, and tho only sate course to pursue In regard to them is the adoption ol a rule, absolute and without exception, that nothing in the Interest of an advertiser, no mat? ter what his Importance, shall be admitted into the edltoral columns for any consideration. It should be understood, and, If necessary, announced, that payment for advertising, how? ever large, secures the advertisement, and nothing more. This rule should be rigidly en? forced, without exception; for until this is done, and It Is regarded ns dishonorable to 'puff1 an advertiser, and In bad taste even to 'puff his horse, Journalism will not be entire? ly free from a debasing taint which now per? vades it far more than Is generally inspected. Jt was but the other day that the agent of a company, bringing a fat advertisement to M paper of standing, and asking a paragraph In approval of the company's project, and, being refused, produced, as a good example to bo followed, several tiri irles ot' the kind he asked for, which had appeared In a leading Journal, and which be owned, in tito most mat? ter-of-course way, that he hlmselfhad written ! Of what real value aro tho opinions nf that paper upon financial projects? With what face can the editors ami publishers of that paper ask tho public to trust thom upon any* matter In which there is nioucy to bo made by the ter? mer, and lost by thc latter? Do Journalists suppose that this practice can go on, and their profession not suffer In the estimation of every? man who does not regard thc getting of money, no matter how, as the one object of life, 'the be all and the end all hore ?' Can they regard lt as consistent with thc candor and the good faith, without which journalism is but a dally impostare, a systematic nui? sance? Ami If lt ls said that the innocent must not be confounded with the gullly, the pure with the corrupt, nnd that the character of a whole profession should not be Judged by that of certain of its members, the reply ls that this is true, and that therefore the world does not rato Journalism according to thc excep? tional virtues of some of Its prolessors." THE census returns, published in TitR NEWS of Thursday, show that In 17 counties the total increase of population since i860 ?3 only 62, the total population of Ihese counties, at this time, being :?'.)0,:ili). Du? ring the ten years ending in I860, the in? crease in the population of South Carolina was at the rate ot 5.27 per cent. At this rate of increase, the 17 counties mentioned should have gained 15,820 inhabitants, and should now have u total population of 310,160. These counties have, therefore, lost by the war 15,758 inh?bil ants. Until the returns for the whole State tire comple? ted, it cannot be told how much of the loss is due to immigration, and how much to tho casualties of war and to a lower rato of natural production. THE Phoenix takes a sensible view of the final action of the Labor Convention, ad? mitting that its previous remarks were based upon what it was led to presume would be the action of the convention. It says: -' The convention did better, and we " are free to Bay that we regard tho final "propositions of the convention as moderate "and reasonable enough. We can never "object to any arrangements looking to the "honest fulilment of contracts between em " plovers and laborers." THE debate in the Senate on the Abbe? ville contested election is well worth read? ing. One senator is ready to camp "out .. side of the constitution,'' another is will? ing "to spill his blood" in Abbeville, and a third evidently believes that Democrats set the example id" rejecting legally elected offi? cers because they were tho political oppo? nents of the. dominant parly. * i' ? - IN THE Senato, on Wednesday. Lan i Com? missioner Leslie said that he "courted tho "investigation of his office by any Democrat "or Republican on the floor of thc House. " There arc several persons in South Carolina who are not on "the iloor of the House," and they would be gi; to know why Secre? tary of State Cardoza resigned from the Ad? visory Board of the Land Commission. LAND Commissioner Leslie, the eccentric senator from Barnwell, said in the Senate, on Wednesday, that "many things bad been "done in his office for which he was not re? sponsible." We desire to do justice to the senator, and therefore ask-What uro these many things ? THE Hon. John Townsend, of Edisto. ex? pects to receive from 20 to 25 Chinese la? borers during the present month, and we learn that a planter on the Savannah River has provided for a Chinese colony of from 200 to :;oo.
