irr^T TTUff IT_N?TMRER 1259. CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1870. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. V V / |j \J XUJU m.*.?.. TROUBLE AMONG TSE TELE? GRAFHERS. No Dispatches Received X.ast Night. At a late hour last night we received infor? mation that the strike among the. telegraph operators, which, as already stated in THE NEWS, began at Cincinnati a day or two ago, had -be? come general throughout the country, and that, as a consequence, no telegrams or any character would be transmitted. It ls scarcely possible that a di fflt alt j of this kind will be allowed to embarrass the press and the public for many hours. EUROPE. The Sew Knuth Ministry-TUe Empe. ror's New Year Speech. PARIS, January l. It Is certain that the new ministry will be announced day after to-morrow. The Journal Official hos not yet published a Hst of the appointments, but La Liberte, the organ of M. Olllvler, states to-day that th? ministry is con? stituted, and publishes thc following as an an? nouncement which will be officially promulgated on Monday: Minister of Justice, Emile Ollivier; Interior, Chevano D'Valdrome; Foreign Affairs, Le De ButeGaoCin; Commerce, Le De Bute Con vet; Public Works, Maurlee Richard. Mague, Bourboau, Chasscloup, Lanbat, Le Bocnf and Regnanlt de Genevilly will retain their positions. Berthemy, the French Envoy at Washington, has declined the portfolio of the Interior. Of the ministry as thus given by La Libert*, four of the members are senators and members of the Chamber of Deputies. Gaudln, Minister Plen? ipotentiary of Foreign Affairs, was the former Minister Plenipotentiary and also Counsellor of State. Chevano D'Valdrome. Minister of the Interior, was second vice-President of the Corps L?gislatif. AU throttlers are wed known in po? litical circles. It ls stated that the Emperor signed the decree confirming the new ministry last night. To-day the Emperor received the Diplomatic Corps. In answer to the usual address he returned his thanks, and said that the presence of all foreign representatives was proof of the friendly rela? tions existing between their respective govern? ments and France. He then conversed freely with the chiefs of the varions legations. PARIS, January 3! The Emperor's speech and thc successful for? mation of the ministty have favorably affected the finan?as. % -. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. The strike of the telegraph operators at the North embraces thirty-eight hundred experts. The organization of the Ohio Legislature is gen? erally conceded to have been a Democratic tri? umph. Oakley, the defaulting cashier of thc Merchants' Exchange Bank of New York, confesses to have committed the crimes for which Hill, cashier of Somers Bank, Westchester County, was imprison? ed. HUI has been released. IS CUBA SQUELCHED? The Intelligence of the Collapse ot the Revolution Denied-Alleged Canards from Washington-Who Originated ' them and Why. Don Miguel Aidama, the president of the Cuban Junta, of New York City, publishes a card in the newspapers, in which he says that he bad read with indignation a dispatch from Coba, al- ; leging thc existence of a circular from the Junta, urging the Cubans to give up the contest, Ac., I and prononnces it false in every particular. A : correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette, writing j from Washington on Sunday last, says : ! In anticipation of the debate npon Coban af? fairs, which is to come off in the Senate npon the reassembling of (Joagrcss, the Spanish agents here, and the government of the United States, are busy at work la the manufacture of "disas? ters" to the Cuban cause. A dispatch was sent from this city on Friday last, which contained a "report" to the efltoct that in Valmaseda's dist rict seven hnndred Cubans, with their officers, had 1 Asid down their arms," and that in the district 1 CT Remedios the?hief Coco and all his men had 1 surrendered. It is known that this dispatch, if : not altogether false, is at least an exaggeration. It ls farther known that lt was concocted at the State Department, with the assistance of the Spanish minister, and thence eommunicated to the Associated Press. Mr. Fish ma", therefore, be set down as acting | purely In the 'uterest of continued domination of i Spain ovekpiba. What are his motives the pub? lic must InTer from one prominent fact, name:v, 1 that the administration bas succumbed to the i dictation of Sumner, and uon-compliuRce on the ' part of the Secretary of State would cost him his i place. i What will be the upshot of thc insurrection in ] Cuba, or what the exact state of affairs there may ] be at this moment, it would be difficult to state or < predict. This much at least may be said with un? disputed troth: That the "reports irom Havana," ; especially those manipulated al the State Depart- ' f meut herc, are not entitled to thc slightest credit. < 1 have now before me a dispatch, said to have ; been sent from thence, giving an aceonnt of "a < circular" received there, purporting to have been I issued by "the Cuban Junta at New York." Il ls ? stated that this -circular" orders the Insurgents to lay down their arms, giving as a reason for tko abandonment of the insurrection, the failnre ? of a recent filibustering expedition, and the In? ability of the Juuta to send more men. and the ' farther disheartening action or the American gov- ! eminent in permitting gunboats to sail from New Tork. The Havana dispatch contains other sen? sational matter, to the effect that the Insurrection ls entirely subdued. Now, 1 have lt in mv power 1 to nail these Iles to the counter, upon thc"author- 1 ity of Cuban agents now at Washington. The canard is evidently founded upon a letter : written by a Cuban. Carlos de Seda?o, who ts not only no', a member of thc Cuban Junta, oran agent of any kind of the Cuban leaders, bat (as he distinctly declares in the said letter) is now, ! and has always been, inimical to the Insurrec? tion ! He is what he calls a "reformer." His let- 1 ter is well worth perusal, Inasmuch as he proves that the Tnited States at first encouraged the re? volt and then mercilessly connived for the de- ] fitraction of those engaged in it. ^ls letter (or ??circular") ls mainly devoted te making good These damning charges. The circular of Senor Seda?o, lt ls Jcnown, was sent lu large numbers to Havana, bv*tke Spanish Minister, (it having seen printed bv his order in 1 New York.) The objects of the w"riter and the ' Minister are identical in Hie main. Both desire the strangling of the revolution, and both vehe? mently oppose the annexation of Cuba to the United States. Upon the latter point the writor of the circnlar expends most of his roroe. In short, these developments show plalnlv that the wretched bungling aud corruption of this ad? ministration has deferred indefinitely thc acqui? sition of Cuba by this coan try, if they have not rendered such an event altogether impossible. Nothing less than the utter overt how of Radical power could bring it within the range of possi? bility. -The Pall Mall Gazette eays : "We have heard of a most mysterious and disagreeable oe. currence at the Tower of London, which is enough to set the nerves cf the whole nation on edge. For some days, or rather nights, past the 6hadow of an axe has appeared on one ofthe walls of the* building. Ttii*'shadow made its last appear? ance, unless we are misinformed, in 1M8, bat what it has bee" doing since that time wc can? not say. There is no shyu^s whatever aboutit now; it does not object to be stared at, and ex? cites the curiosity of all who have the privilege, if not the pieasure, of Inspecting it." -A slight earthqnare was felt at Baden Baden last month, followed by a great increase of flow from the hot spring which originally made the reputation of the locality. It has also been dis? covered that the walls or the new castle are be? ginning to settle and crack in aa alarming man? ner. These fast,*, tafci-u m connection willi tie sinking or a part ol the carnie garden, which has Jpeen known to be going ou fora long time, mid tue Issmense fissure* in tue aucieut trails, tend to show that th? fate of Sodom und Gomorrah may at some fa; ure day bc experienced by this famous gambling place. THE CELESTIALS. OVR 2fEW L A B o I: PROBLEM. Interesting Interviews with the Chiefs of the Chinese Companies I? San Fran eise*-The Exportation of Chinese Corpses-The First JOBS House Specu? lation-Important Facts Concerning oirVew Foreign Element. The Chinese immigration into the United States, what it is, and what it may become, is one of the problems of our day. Thc impor? tant changes, too, in regard to our trade with China and Japan, which have recently taken place, and the immense proportion which that commerce may reasonably be expected to attain, make the Chinese question one of de? cided interest. Therefore, everything that tends to inform us in regard to these strange people will be read with interest. A San Francisco correspondent of tho Now York Sun lately made special visits to the six great Chinese companies-institutions of a Masonic, protective and charitable nature-and held in? terviews with several of their leading men. and records thc result of Iiis inquiries as fol? lows: THE CHINESE IS CALIFORNIA. There can be no doubt that, so far as Cali? fornia is concerned, t he presence of these Asi? atics has been invaluable and indeed indis? pensable. The whole population of the State does not exceed 600,000, yet it now ranks as one of thc great granaries of the world, and San Francisco is thc ninth manufacturing city of the United States. How much of this suc? cess is due to the despised chinaman those only know who are aware of the scarcity of white labor at nearly all times, of the difflcnl ty of Inducing uicn who have been engaged in mininer pursuits-a large proportion of our population-to labor in any other employment whatever, and of the inflated notions which inspire such men In regard to pay. But for John Chinaman most ot our wheat and the produce of our orchards and vineyards would rot on th? ground; our manufactories woaid have to shut up shop; our households would be servantless. Were there any influx of INTELLIGENT WUITE LAH0RER8 wc might probably prefer them to the pigtailed Celestials, but as long as they come in as slowly as they arc now doing we must have the Chinaman. Those who fancy that they will overrun the country may be reassured; the supply.of Chinese labor is here rarely much in excess of the demand; and in spite of the superior facilities afforded lately by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, the number which has arrived here this year has not much exceeded 1000 per month-less than the aver? age of earlier days. Before entering on thc main subject of this article. I may bc permit? ted to give a few statistics. STATISTICS. The number of Chinamen who have arrived in California since Hie first settlement of thc country is 138,580. Of these over 37,000 have returned to China, and nearly 10,500 have died. There ure about 41,000 Chinese in the State now: the others having scattered through Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Utah, a few dozen getting ns far as Chicago and New York. That they are generally a steady and law-abiding people is liest proved by the lact that out of 41,000 in California, there are only 183 at this time in the Stutc prison and various county Jails. THE CHINESE QUARTER OF SAN FRANCISCO. Although Chinamen are tobe found In every part of Sun Francisco, the quarter where they m<*et do oongtvirato inclitdoH Dupont, Jackson and Pacific streets, and the neighborhood. . They are great at congregating. They live very much like bees, and space is of no con? sequence. There is now an old three story building on Jackson street on a lot G8Axl37? feet, which contains over six hundred China? men, who board, lodge, wash and smoke there, it has ou occasions held a thousand. Parts of the quarter are so thoroughly Chinese that a visitor might fancy himself in Canton or Shanchai. I believe that after the sea lions at the Cliff House, strangers find more of in? terest in these rather mean, dirty and strong? ly-flavored streets thun in any other part of the city. First, TUE DOCTORS' SUOP8, with their signs in Chinese and English, at? tract attention. Many deluded San Francis? cans resort to them, and one or two Chinese physicians have been seriously run after for a time. Woe to the man who takes their phy? sic, for is it not composed of powdered bugs, centipedes, lizards and so forth ? Even cobra de capcllo is an ingredient in some of their medicine. And then who ou earth could take their pills-pills as big as small cannon balls ? A little further wc come to a CHEAP CHINESE RESTAURANT, with its rickety little furnace, lumps ot pork [ryitig and spluttering, bowls of rice, square bags of sausage meat, fruit, fresh and dried Ash, chop sticks of thc approved style, and a general flavor of cook shop grown old smd stale. There are more high-toned establish? ments, where everything is served in good shape, where you caii get delicacies like bird's nest soup, shark's fins, geranium cake when ia seasou, and wash t hem down with rose ivinc and fine tea. The gambling hells, the 3pium dens, thc stores of every description, ind the alleys, where the Chinese demi monde ilsplay their charms through little windows slit in the doors, arc all points of interest. The loss houses and the Chinese theatre furnish :he best proof of the cosmopolitan character of san Frauds co. Mr. Charles Walcott Brookes, thc Consul for lapan, kindly gave me an introduction to Fung Tang, a Chinese merchant ot the highest class, (veil known and much respected here, and who speaks otu- language like a native. INTERVIEW WITH FUNO TANG. I lound Mr. Fung Tang seated, as is com? monly the case among the merchants, near the door of his store, which is simply a hand? some tea, grocery and Chinese dry goods shop, calling for no very special remark. Af? ter he had motioned mo to a seat by him, had offered me a Manila cigar, and had learnt the object of my visit, he politely expressed wil? lingness to give me any information. My first query was to this effect: "What do you think of thc social position of the Chinaman in California, and thc manner in which he ls treated ?" "I think," said Fung Tang, "that it is im? proving all the time, but, as you know, we are never safe from the attacks of brutal men; I think the Chinese are better off under English rule. In Melbourne a Chinaman can walk three or four miles without being attacked, or without having his tail cut off In Victoria, Vancouver Island, too, some of our people have bought property and are well treated." Fung Tang alluded to our Sau Fraucisco Chinese Protective Society, an institution which has. till lately, employed a number ol' special policemen, who patrol the streets, and sec thal the Celestials are not persecuted. He said that the society had done much good, thal cases of violent usage of his people were gel ting much rarer in the eily. That institution has lately reduced the number ol* its police. I then remarked to Mr. Tang that I belita c ed he had once stated "We have rich mer chants in China, who would like to invest capi? tal in this country, but they are afraid to do so, as they arc uot sure ol' "sufficient and im? partial protection lu the courts of law." lie acknowledge that it was so. Fung Tang spoke with evident pride of the good name and standing-cominerciallv-of the Chinese merchants in this city. Said he "We have no Chinese bankers h?re, but we put mnch mosey in the leading banks, and are readily trusted by them. We can borrow mousy ou our own. name alone. Our own people are pretty hauest. They usually settle up all outstanding .tceounts at the Chinese New Year." I farther spoke of a point I had before heard mooted, the possibility of A CHIVESE COMMISSION, consisting of one American aud several China? men, proceeding this winier to Washington to represent their interests in the matter ul du? ties on Chinese goods, Ac. This I learned will hardly be attempted this season. Fung Tang spoke very sensibly about the duties on Chi? nese goods, uud fully understood thal the war had heightened them. Uu only thought that the duty ou opium should be reduced, as it led to any quantity of SMUGGLING, and utterly spoiled legit?male business, opium seizures on Hie arrival ol* the C steamers are usually very large. The Chi resort to all kinds of dodges to smuggle dried fish have been found to have stuffed with it: egg shells have been foui have been filled with it; it has been discov in the Celestial's boots, in his hat , his doti in boxes with luise bol I oms, and so ou. AI time ago eight bales whose contents wer scribed as medicinal "roots"' were discov to bc nothing but opium colored, and m with fibres in such a way as closely to re ble '"roots." '.John" was trying to play i on the customhouse. SENDING DEAD CHINAMEN HOME FOn BUI I also asked Fung-Tang "What is the reason that the Chinese will not be bi herc ?" "Well," said he, "our people an customcd on the Sd ol'March and 9th of tomber to visit thc tombs of their rclati There are frequently twelve or fifteen gei Hons, or many more, lying close logetlu the same vaults." It is very much a rollg duty to make this visit; incense and see paper are burnt before thc tombs, and mourners remain for hours together bowed heads thinking of their ancestor lost parents or friends, and ot the fate lo w they and we must all come. But Fung 1 assured us that although every Chinaman dies in California ls carried to his own lni dead Chinamen being a recognized artic freight, one of our exports-a large nun have been buried in Melbourne. We talki1 many other matters; notably of thc S tax on Chinese miners-$4 per head per rai -which he considered greatly too high for present time, as most of the more or worked-out mines will now-o-days yield OE bare existence, even to a Chinaman. TUE CUrXESE COMPANIES. Many absurd notions are afloat-even this coast-in regard to the six great Chit companies. Sonic have thought them U political and secret societies, or legal tribu? more dreaded by the Chinese than our o or coolie agencies, and what not. Thc fut that they are societies organized .exclusif for thc benefit of the Chinese coming and si Eing here. These associations have each tl eadquarter8 or company's house; their c stltulion, by-laws, anet officers. When a mi ber is sick or in trouble, he ls cared for ? defended; quarrels among themselves arc bltrated without the necessity of going to 1 One great use of these institutions is thut i honest Chinamen arc looked alter, and woi be absconding debtors are made to settle all claims before leaving. They arc also cellent Intelligence offices; the whereabout! nearly every Chinaman In the country may found in their records. A small initiation and subscription is required from each mt ber. THE COMPANY BUILDING or Ui Knn, is invaluable to thc newly-arrli immigrant; to it he resorts as to a caravi sary in Eastern countries. There he lluds t means and appliances for cooking and prep ing his food, and mnv spread his mat. Serva of the company to which he belongs meet li at the wharf and conduct him to thc buildii afford him Information about thc country a find him may be a lodging, and other lum dlatc employment. So much lor thc gene organization of thc companies. THE YUNG M'O COMPANY. A second, and almost equally Intelligc China merchant, who on our first lutrodi tion, politely handed -me his card printed Americau style, with his name Wong V "upon It, was my guide to the building ol* I Yung Wo Company. Wong Wai speaks a reads English; he has been studying it for 11 vears, and takes lessons from ti private El Iish tutor every evening. We find the co. pany in a moderate sized building on Saci men to street. My first question to the head m or president of the company, translated Wong Wai, had reference to the organizatli of the institution. The company reports ov 28,000 members among the Chinese since organization in 1852. All Chinamen belongil to thc society pay ten dollars entrance fe with, as lu all the companies, other lees for ti maintenance of the building, fund for ley advice, and the like. "Did you not," said I, "propose to sei some deputation, American or otherwise, represent yon at Washington this year ?" "We did at first," said Wong Wai, after co suiting thc president, a pretty stout old Chin man who did not speak English, "bul the coi panics did not agree, nor could they form ; estimate of the probable expenses. We om employed an American lawyer in thc city ar he cost us several thousand dollars more thu we expected." "What proportion of Chinamen ever g back to China? You know that many "bjei that j'ou only come lo this country to make little money, and do your best to accumulai it, always with the view of returning to yoi own land." "Probably about one-fifth go back; man find it very difficult to raise money enough, said Wong Wai. "In thc mines now they ca ouly make seventy-five couts to one dollar day as a rule, but of this they will speu nearly fifty cents a day, and (our dollars month for thc tax. so that you sec it will lak a long time for a poor Chinaman to raise a fey hundred dollars. Laborers and men workln; in a city are a little better off, but have greate temptation to spend moory. It is nonsense t say that they spend nothing herc; much c their food is, of course, that of this country much of their clothing also. When they mak money they often spend it freely in America) liquors aud other luxuries." "How many Chluamcu arc (hero on th coast at this time ?" "About 120,000." This ls an over-estimate. About 13S,000 havi come here since 1819, bfft 37,000 have returned and more than 10,000 have died. THE COOLIE TALK. Many people-opposed to the Chinese move ment-talk of the Celestials herc as coolies and thc notion has been re-echoed by th? Eastern press. The fact is thal there nevei were coolies In California, and all the Chillest here are free to come and go as they jilease Here thc persecution Chinamen receive is al ways from outsiders: their employers almos always treat them well. Butas "coolie" isa tenn of reproach, Hu enemies of the Chinese here-fast becoming ? very small minority-invariably refer to then by that title. Anti-coolie meetings have beer called togethtv frequently lalely. At one ol them it was proposed to ask the Legislature tc impose a tax of $500 on every Chinaman enter? ing the country, and a fine of a like amount on every steamboat company bringiug thom here, and on every person employing them. Au export duty on dead Chinamen would bc far more sensible. In the annual report of thc San Francisco Society lor the Protection of the Chinese, we find the following statements: THE HIERARCHICAL ORGANIZATIONS OF - TnE CHINESE. Thc Chinese belong, without exception, to a most hierarchical organization that ls subject to the home government of China. This fact should be more generally known than it is. for the elfect ol* such a bond or institution ls to place the Chinese here in America as fully un? der the control of lite Imperial chinese powers as if they were still in their native districts. Owing to this hierarchical organization very accurate statistical data can be obtained. THE SIX COMPANIES also, which are in California managed by trus? tees, have a central government in China,, which ls under the direct supervision of the Imperial Chinese authorities. Thc representa? tives ol'the six companies ara therefore to be regarded as officers ol* thc Chinese Empire. Their authority is derived from China. The Chinese on thc Pacific coast form a SLitc with? in st State, a colony governed in many re? spects by China, und one that could nut possi? bly exist were its members to form a commu? nity ol' Isuid-owners. " So long as they are scat? tered about, as at present, and subject, lo their municipal authorities, these abnormal relations .need nut bceoiuc conflicting. EMPLOYMENT OK THB CHINESE. More Chinese arc employed in the mines than in tiny oilier branch of labor. In California 0600 are miners. There arc 4500 servants, 4500 employed us \: rters and for like purposes, and 25?0 in agricultural labor, lu San Francisco there are 2500 Chinese cigar makers, l?oo work on machines, too ut shoe? making, 704 Chinese women earn their dally bread by washing clothes, 1200 work in slaughter-houses, tanneries and->kindred es? tablishments, and 200deal in fish and vegeta? bles. Few are employed at the regular trades. There are only 84 carpenters and 33 tinsmiths. There ure 1(J Chinese photographers and artists, and 17 physicians. The report further remarks on thc zea! and eagerness of the Chinese in STUDYING LANGUAGES. A large portion have mastered the English language, and many, not, content with this, have begun the study of French, Spanish and German. A goodly humber can speak German fluently. Tho report explodes the prevalent notion'that the Chinese live on rice and vege: tables. They can, and do, in case it is neces^ Bary; but when they find themselves able to procure better food, they enjoy their improved diet with as mucn gusto as au American would alter such a change. THE WAY TO THE WEST. A Word for thc Asheville Route. We are permitted to make the following ex? tracts from a letter addressed to us by a citizen or Henderson ville, N. C.: Could I have any faith in the good intentions of your Legislature, I would like tu suggest to them the propriety of extending the railroad rrom Greenville or Spartanburg to Asheville, N. C., six? ty miles, which would UH up the remaininff fcap rrom your city to Cincinnati, Ohio. The cars uow run to lng Creek, Tennessee, forty-five miles from Asheville, and thc remainder of the road is under contract to Asheville, which ought, and perhaps will be, finished the incoming year. Then If the Greenville and Spartanburg roads were extended twenty miles to thc foot of thc mountain, and make a joint cil*ort for the remaining forty miles to Asheville on a single road, thc work woufll be completed, aud a train start at Charleston and go by Greenville or Spartanburg through to the Ten? nessee roads and on to Clneiuunii, from thirty to fifty miles nearer than the KabunGap route would be,"ir ever finished. Hut mari; thc prediction. That Rabun Gap road will not bc finished in five years, and I doubt If it can be done lu fifty. I know agood portion of the country lt passes over, and am not mistaken when I siy it ts too big a job ror the times. Had half thc- rooney already expended on that work been judiciously expend? ed on thc Asheville and French Broad route, thc cars would have been running to Cincinnati be? fore the war. And less than half the money ap? propriated by the late Legislature of South Caro? lina to the Ulue Ridge Road would complete the entire road by Asheville, on the French Broad route, with the connection both to Greenville and Spartanburg, In less than two years iroin to-day. Rut none so blind as those wtio refuse to sec. Why the City or Charleston will tax her people to poverty's brink ror money to buJd the Blue Ridge Railroad, to the exclusion ol thc French Broad rontc, Is hard ror an up country man to under? stand. To say nothing or the expense, which wonld bc at least lour dollars to one, the State of Georgia would of course tap the Oluc Ridge Road within her own borders, and long before the road was completed would be ready to ia vite the North? ern trade and travel ts her own seashore at the expense of Charleston, after she (Charleston) had built the road, lt is the shortest sight I have ever known your sharp people to take in a business transaction or Improvement. The restriction in gauge has been removed by thc Legislature of South Carolina from thc char? ter or thc Greenville and French Broad Railroad, which ls about all that can ever be hoped for from the South Carolina Legislature, as it ls not to thc Interest of South Carolina to extend the road from Asheville south. But will Sonth Carolina and the City or Charleston hide their eyes from so favorable an opportunity or splicing In the last link in thc grand chain from Charleston to Cincinnati, which can now be so easily welded In, by taking hold of the present opportunity r There is not a single tunnel re? quired on thc route, that I know of, and poor as our people arc, I have no Idea but they eould and would subscribe land and money enough to build the road rrom the State line to Asheville. South Carolina has ability to do the balunce, and do it at once, without materially Interfering wiih the Blue Ridge enterprise. If your people will stop to think, they can but see thc advantage that ls now otTercd lu filling up this last gap in thjt great linc or railway so ably advocated by the lamented Hay ne, of your State, who would, had bc lived a few years longer, had that road completed long since. He, above all other men ol the South, seemei to comprehend and appreciate thc value of that enterprise. Have you no master spirits among you now who can and will investigate this subject and present lt to your people according to its truemerlts? lt needs hut a single thought to see Its practicability and necessity, more so to your State anti city than any others, except a sin? gle county through which lt passes In North Car? olina, and that may be remedied someday by thc extension of one or the North Carolina roads to this section. But now ls thc time Tor South Caro? lina to move in the matter, tr she desires to avail herself of an advantage seldom offered to any people. Thc North Carolina Railroad will hang fire a long time at thc Swananoa tunnel, which 1 fear will prove a stumphonse mountain affair, lt will take them years to get through, If they ever do. In the meantime South Carolina could fill up this gap to Asheville, u ml have all the trade and travel ror years, ir not rorcver, rrom the North? west. Then lt the Rabun Gap and North Carolina Road ls ever finished, they will hardly ever bc able to compete successfully with the French Broad route. It being more central and direct, ns well as a better and nearer route to the Atlan? tic, must always have the preference and be more easily kept np. and be a better paying road to thc stockholders, and pour all Its wealth In the lap of South Carolina; whilst the Rabun Gap would divide her patronage with Georgia. Please think or this thing a little, and on exam? ination ir yon think as I do on thc subject, and have any hope that your Immortal Legislature '.an bc reasoned with on the subject, or that thc capitalists ol your city and State cnn be Induced to move In thc matter, call their attention to it. Surely il they will investigate the matter, and de? sire the prosperity or your city and state, they? will avail themselves or thc advantages now of fcred them. Some succeeding Legislature of North Carolina may better understand thc inter? ests of Eastern North Carolina and repeat the amended charter of the Greenville and Frenen Broad Railroad, or place some other obstruction or restriction that would prevent its being so ad? vantageous to South Carolina as the present char? ter as now amended. A HORRIBLE CASE. Death of the "Welsh Fasting Girl." Thc London papers announce the tragical end of a strange Imposture. More than two years ago a girl of eleven years, named Sarah Jacobs, the daughter of a sinall farmer In an obscure village or Wales, took to her bed, after vomiting blood, and never alterwards left lt, except when she was lined out. It was soon announced that she took neither food nor drink, and thousands came to see what was popularly regarded as little short of a miracle. Thc child ,.was exhi? bited lying in ber bed dressed us a bride, and with a wreath of Howers around her head. The parents derived quito a little revenue from ?the offerings of sympathetic visitors. They declared that she took no sustenance what? ever. Once a fortnight her lips were moisten? ed with water. Several investigations were made at various times by more or less skilful observers, and a watch was set upon the room, but nothing sus? picious was discovered. It seems, however, that no examination wai made of thc bed, un? til a short time ago four experienced nurses were sent down from Guy's Hospital to silt the case, in concert with a locnl committee and several men. The room and bed were mi? nutely searched, and on the 9th of December the nurses began their watch. No lood was discovered, and It was made morally Impossi? ble that any should bc secretly Introduced. So (ar thc investigation may be called a c?mplete success; but after some days the girl begun to show symptoms of starvation. Tho parents were urged to give ber food, but refused. On Hie Hui she died, delirious. The cruelty ol' the parents, who, if the story be correctly told, subjected their child for two long years to the torture of this living death, and dually caused her deal h in Hie agonies of starvation,* is Justly the subject of severe reprobation. But is uothing to be said of the Guy's Hospital author? ities and the "local committee" who permitted the cruel test to ba carried out to the dreadful end ? A FREE BANKING SYSTEM. A number of bills are being prepared by different Congressmen, and one also by thc Secretary of the Treasury, to provide for thc institution of free banking. Thc opinion of a leading banker and broker In New York City having been solicited, he writes as follow: No oue can object to a free banking law, provided the proper restrictions be placed upon thc banks in redeeming their issue. ]f a law should be passed similar to the present National Banking act, it is wild, wicked infla? tion, as the government does not obtain any advantage from such an increase of the cur? rency under such a condition of things. It woidd be belier that the government would issue more legal-tenders, rather than allow in? dividuals or corporations to reap the bene? fits of that which the government, could readily obtain itself. If, however, the idea is to make a central redeeming point in New York city under government supervision, then the laws ol' trade (demand and supply) would gov ern. When money was wanted to move the crops, the banks would Issue currency; when the currency would be returned to the finan? cial centres, the banks would have to redeem. Without tills check, to pass such a law would J>o madness. If asked what tho effect of such a law would be, I would say that lt ls gradual contraction andjan appreciation of the green? back to gold. It will readily be perceived that if thc new banks were obliged (as they should be) to relain twenty-five per cent, of their cir? culation on hand in legal tenders, this, of course,*would tie up so much moro legal ten? ders and make them scarce. The free banking law of the State of New York is the best guide for any new legislation on the subject. A PRINTER'S CHALLENOE_Tho Cincinnati Commercial says: "George A. Barber proposes to work for five or eight hours, or a week, at the rate of eight hours per day, on solid, straight matter-reserving the choice of either measure or type-against any printer in the world; the type not to be larger than brevier, nor smaller than agate, for the sum of one thousand dollars. To come off one month after this shall be.accepted. Mr. Bar? ber can be addressed at thc Commercial office, Cincinnati, Ohio."

No law was found to compel him to do so, though a grandfather is legally liable for the support of his grandeb ll? dren. * -Eleven of the principal theatres and music halls In thc City of London aro opened for reli? gious services every Sunday evening. They are filled by a generally attentive audience, a large proportion of which ls composed of men, many of whom are of the artisan class. -Dr. Starke, Reglstrar-Gcneral of Scotland] says: "Bachelorism is more destructive to life than the most unwholesome of trades, or than a residence in an unwholesome house or district where there bas never been thc most distant at? tempt at sanitary improvement or any kind." - The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, Minister of Foreign Affairs In Paris, has instituted a series of diplomatic dinners for the purpose of bringing foreign representatives into more frequent con .* tact, and also ror thc discussion of diplomatic questions unfettered by official authority. -A good result has come out of the continual strikes among thc London cabmen. They are to bc allowed to charge what rares they please, thc only condition being that thc rate adopted bc legibly ad v?rSscd on thc cab itself. This new fea? ture introduces legitimate competition where most needed, in respect to public conveyances. -The following is a summary of thc progress of the national debt in France : In 1563, under Charles IX, 17,000,000f.; In loco, under Louis XIV, 785,000,000^} in 180T, under Bonaparte, 1,912,000, ooor.; In 1821,under Louis XVIII, 3,466,00 S.OOOL; in 1829, under Charles X, 4,200,ooo.ooor.; in 1844( under Louis Philippe, 500, ooo, ooo f.; and In 18C0, nuder Napoleon III, 11,000,000,OOOr. -A correspondent or the London Dally News (an Englishman travelling In this country) says that the New York theatres "arc numerous, and Americans boast that they arc superior to ours. This, however, ls a mere patriotic illusion neither In acting, scenery, nor In comfort, are they to bc compared- to several of the new thea? tres which have been lately built in London. Pit, dress circle and upper boxes arc converted Into stalls. These are very uncomfortable; they arc made or iron, with ill-padded cashions, and they arc so close together that Ingress or egress is alike almost impossible. The stalls AU well, but the galleries are almost always empty. Persons who cannot afford stalls prefer to keep away rather than admit that they arc not as good as their neighbors." ?flarne?r.

What is the rational mode or procedure In cases or general debility and nervous prostration? Does not reason tell us that Judicious stimulation ls re? quired ? To resort to violent purgation lu such a case is os absurd as it would be to bleed a starv? ing man. Yet lt is done every day, Yes, this stupid and uuphilosophical practice is continued in tho teeth or the CHEAT PACT that physical weak? ness, with all thc nervous disturbances that ac? company lt, ls more certainly and rapidly relieved by HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS than by any other medicine at present known. It ls true that general debility is often attended with tor? pidity opirrcgularliy of thc bowels, and that this symptom must not be overlooked. But while the discharge or thc waste matter of the system ls expedited or regulated, Its VIGOR MUST BE RBJ ORl'lTED. Thc Bitters do both. They combine aperient and anti-bilious properties, with extraor? dinary tonic power. Even while removing ob? structions from the bowels, they tone aud invigo? rate those organs. ?Through th? stomach, upon winch the great vegetable speclUc acts directly, lt gives a healthy and permanent impetus to every ?nieebled function*. Digestion is racilitated, the faltering circulation regulated, the blood rein? forced with a new accession of thc alimentary principle, Ute nerves braced, and all the dormant powers or the system roused Into healthy action; uot spasmodically, as would be the case If a mere stimulant were administered, but for a contin? uance. lt is lu this way that such extraordinary changes arc wrought in the condition of the fee? ble, emaciated and nervons Invalids by the use of this wonderful corrective, alterative and tonic.
