THE TELEGRAPHIC SruiKKRs.-Thc absence
of thc usual appetizing array of telegraphic mat?
ter published ia TnE NKW8 was the llrst Intima?
tion to many of the readers of this paper that the
telegraphic operators had combined to resist cer?
tas changes, and were on a strike. The move?
ment lirst commenced In California, where some
redactions of salaries had been made, and under
a rumor that similar reductions would bc at?
tempted elsewhere, the operatives throughout
the country, numbering some 4000, struck work
and now insist that their brethren in California
shall be restored to their former places aud
emoluments.
Titc organization of the telegraphic operators
in a union, or protective association, has been In
process for nearly twelve months, but has ouly
recently been perfected. The Western Union
Telegraph Company is an Immense corporation,
traversing the major portion of the Union with
tts network of wirc3, embracing in its employ
nearly 5000 experienced operators. The strike
extends throughout the United States, but thus
far the strikers have not received the active co?
operation of their associates in the third district
of the Southern division, which Includes South
Carolina, thc greater portion of Georgia and
Florida. Tho Washington ofllee, which 13 the
grand distributing depot, is In a deplorable condi?
tion, and of 22 operators.ouly the chiefs and some
greenhorns are at work. The same state of affairs
exi3ts at Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, St.
Louis, Cincinnati and other large cities North,
South, East aad West. The employees cf the com?
pany have been nearly unanimous in express?
ing their determination to co-operate with their
San Francisco brethren to prevent any reduction
of salaries, and insist that the operators who
were discharged for refusing to submit to the re?
duction be reinstated. The Western Union Tele?
graph Company ls a very wealthy corporation,
but it ia doubtful if they can effect anything
agaiust the combination of the operators, and
will eventually be compelled to succumb to their
demands. Until that event the public must be
content with the mails, and as they are not al?
ways reliable, thc "news ef the day" will be about
three day.? old before lt ls read. Work is accumu?
lating rapidly at the different ofUces, and when
thc strike is ended lt will require hard work and
close application to clear the decks.
In tbs Charleston office the superintendent has
not refused to receive dispatches, but states
plainly that there ls but a slim chance of tn&ir
speedy transmission. The operators are endea?
voring to pass some important cable dispatches
over the lines, and nothing is received or trans?
mitted. The noon Press dispatches were re?
ceived yesterday through a round-a-about way
from Washington, via Atlanta and Angnsta. The
telegraph operators In Washington have pledged
themselves to abstain from all spirituous or in?
toxicating liquors during thc prevalence of the
strike. The operators are thoroughly in earnest,
and will hardly yield until they have gained the
point for which they are striving.
ARRIVAL OF CUBANS-THEIR STEAMER IS
SEIZED DY THE UNITED STATIS MARSHAL AND
THE PASSENGERS ORDRRED ASHORE.-On Monday
morning the Annie, a low, dark steamer, came Into
our harbor and attracted but little attention. She
reported that she had been driven in by a stress
sf weather, and desired to coal before proceeding
on uer voyage to Nass tu. This was easily accom?
plished, and the Annie .ras fully prepared to leave
Cbc next (lay when Cupluin SotL":ra, thc com?
manding olUcer, applied to the Customhouse for a
clearance, ile was told that there would be no
dltllculty, but later in the day Collector Clark
sent for the Captain and demanded hts papers.
On repairing to the Customhouse he found the
Collector and the Spanish Consul. The former said
that he would bc compelled to detain the vessel
for breach of the neutrality laws.
Thc Captain protested against this detention,
and showed his clearance from New York signed
and attested by the Collector and United States
Marshal. Collector Clark said that they did not
kuow their business or they would not have given
a clearance. Thc Spanish Consul had made a
oomplalnt and he was bound to respect it. Cap?
tain Somers finding lt dldlcult to obtain his
popers, left.
The Harbormaster, with Lieutenant L. M.
Keene, of thc Revenue Cutter, examined the
Annie thoroughly the same afternoon, and re?
ported that everything was right aud she could
not bc held. Collector Clark, on hearing this
statement, decided that he could not detaiu the
vessel, but would f ne her $500 for
not having a "synopsis" and for carrying
more passengers than her tonnage allowed,
.(72 tons, new measurement.) The Captain
was told that the vessel would be released on
the payment of this fine, and he was about to
meet the demand, when he learned that the An?
nie had been seized by the United States Mar,
.sha!. Thisomcer Immediately put four deputies
on board, and told thc passengers that they must
.leave thc boat and seek for lodgings elsewhere.
There was not much time granted, and in a few
moments baggage was packed, and twenty-eight
?Cubans, headed by Coloacl W. C. Ryan, well
known as an ardent Cuban sympathizer, pro?
ceeded to the Pavilion Hotel. Rooms were as?
signed them, and they are now awaiting the re?
lease of their craft.
Colonel Ryan, who ls the leader of the little
party, is a young man of sharp reatures, long
hair and a general appearance or cool daring,
bordering on mero recklessness. Among the
party are several Cubans or note, who desired to
?turn to the L'ver Faithful Isle pfe Nassau. O.
C?spedes, a sou of the Cuban president, and
Francis I. Cisneros, a brother of the vice-presi?
dent of tho Junta, are of thc number. Very few
of the passengers can speak English, and they all
Jook like men of culture and refinement.
From a coaver.sation with the party, we learn
that the Annie left her dock at Williamsburg, N.
Y., on Wednesday, December 29th, at hair-past 10
A. M. Thc United States Marshal and revenue
?dicer examined the vessel carefully and gave
her proper clearance papers, staying ca board
nntil the ropes were cast loose. Three or the
crew left an hour after sailing. While rounding
Cape Hatteras, on Saturday, thc Annie encoun?
tered a terrible storm that drove her out of her
course, and ror forty hours no distance was made.
As the coal was exhausted, it was determined to
make the nearest port to obtain a supply, and
Charleston was sighted about 3 P. M. on Satur?
day.
Ia the different searches that have bean made
on board the Annie since her arriv il, lt became
evident that there wis ao armiuiaat of uay
Character conceded, ail atths oas.* ha* been
placed in thc hands or MOVUM. Slutvuton A lurker

and thc vss?l M:J*?.I. B*on of thc twenty
cljr^it Caima* !?*?? a receipt for thirty dollars paid
SA passage money, anti the whole bearing of the
case shows that the detection of the boat is of
qnestionable legality.
The Annie is now lying at the government
whartunder the survcUlancc of the United States
Marshal.
CHARLESTON HOARD OF TRADE.
The regalar monthly meeting of thc Coard
took place last night at thc Hibernian Halt.
Messrs. T. 1>. Gillespie, G. J. Lunn and C. Voigt
were elected members.
Mr. W. S. Hastie, who has recently represented
the Charleston Hoard at the meeting of the Na?
tional Board of Trude in Richmond, made the fol?
lowing report:
The undersigned, delegate tn the National
Board of Trade, recent ly held at. Richmond, bega
leave to report that the' business arrangements nf
his colleague, Colonel 'fredholm, were such as to
detain that gentleman in New York, a circum?
stance regretted by many members of the con?
vention, as well as uv myself.
Augusta and Charleston were the only Southern
cities represented.
Believing Hie great object lu attending these
annual meetings is to obtain general idformation
with regard to the trade and commerce or the
country, and changes which are daily being de?
veloped, and to use such information tor our own
guidance, I shall revert only to those points
which have a bearing upon our Interests.
The decision upon the "License law discrimi?
nating against uon resideut traders,'' was Im?
portant bv reason of thc facts elicited in thc
course of debate. Northern houses keep travel?
lers in the country a year at a time. Thc neces?
sity of short credits has initiated the English sys?
tem or scuding rorih travel! < with samples,
which has been very successful, and large
amounts of goods are sold by parties who never
see their customers. This great change in the
manner or doing business is easily accounted for.
The country merchant being called upon by a
traveller, purchases thc exact article he wants by
sample, and in a few days he has the goods in
store. Resolutions were passed that the beard
petition the Legislatures of all thc States to
abolish ail laws discriminating against non-resi?
dent traders and agents. Also, that Congress
be requested to establish a new department, to
be known as the "Department of Commerce."
Also, an appropriation to complete the improve?
ments now in progress on thc Mississippi and
Uhio Kivers, and at the mouth or the Mississippi,
to which I append an amendment including au
appropriation for the harbors of Mobile, Savau
uab ana Richmond. a
A resolution offered bv thc St. Louis Board or
Trade, asking thc passage ol a law by the United
States Congress so regulating thc freight tariffs
ol" all railroads as will compel them to transport
local freight and passengers at the same pro rata
per mlle as ls charged for what ls knowu as
"through freight and passengers."
This proposition was discussed part ol two
days, and was strenuously opposed by your dele?
gate, and after being brought forward in a modi?
fied form, was finally tabled.
An appropriation was asked from Congress to
complete the James River and (tanawha Canal,
through the State ol' Virginia, between the Mis?
sissippi and Atlantic Ocean. In the course or the
I debate, oue or the Western members stated that
it cost bis constituents twenty-five bushels or
wheat to buy a ton or con!, and that a cheap water
communication with the Atlantic was indispensa?
ble.
Thc Boston Board or Trade asked a "recommen?
dation to Congress or such measures as in thc
judgment or the Board are calculated to hasten
the restoration of the specie standard of value.'"
After a long discussion and the defeat or several
projects, the whole matter was finally referred to
a committee or eleven. In the course or argument
thc following racts were brought to the notice of
thc convention: That the government had re?
duced the national debt In nine months, seventy
two millions of dollars, which ls nearly twelve
millions more than the British Government owed
the Bank or England in 1T97, at the lime orits sus?
pension-the amount being in flgurcs $61,201,733
33, and that the Na Ional Bank currency is Hie
best, because the most uniform in value, that the
conutry had ever had. That thc Bank or England,
notwithstanding the debt or England was held
within her own borders, remained in a state of
suspension for more than twenty years, and that
on us resuming specie payment, thc fact was de?
veloped that resumption did not Increase thc con?
fidence ol the people, as it lost one-half or its gold
on the first dav lt resumed. That although our
currency ls greenbacks, the value <\rthe producta
of the country ?re paid for at gold prices.
Thc Finance Committee could not agree, anda
majority and minority report was made. Your
delegate lavored the minority report, on the
ground that the country ls uot prepared Tor specie
payment; that the debt, $2<#00.00u,u00, ls too un?
wieldy. More than oue-halfofthis Immense debt
ls owned abroad, and the interest must be remit?
ted in bills of exchange, which arc equivalent to
gold; that weare reducing the debt rapidly; that
we are getting gold prices for ourproducc; that
some ot our railroads are laboring under heavy
indebtedness, and a change in currency would
increase that Indebtedness; that many of our
banks are just emerging Into life, nursing their
assets.
Under all these circumstances your delegate,
In connection with Mr. Geo. Opdyke, of New York,
offered the following resolution:
Resolved. That this Board approve the general
financial policy or the government, which has al?
ready largely reduced the national debt and ap?
preciated the value or the currency, and lt earn?
estly recommends to Congress and thc Executive
aa adherence to that line or policy.
Other matters were discussed, but none or sufil
clent Importance to bring before the Board.
Respectfully submitted. WM. S. HASTIE.
On motion of Mr Bruns, the following resolu?
tion was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the report just submitted by W.
S. Hastie, Esq., ex-president of this Board, be re?
ceived and spread on the minutes, and that the
thanks of this Board be. and are hereby, tendered
to oar worthy ex-president for the able and earli?
est manner in which he has always attended to
all matters concerning the commercial interests
or the City ot Charleston.
On motion or Mr. J. B. Steele, the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the treasurer be authorized to
pay over to thc building committee ull money
liow In his hands, or that may be received, aris?
ing from entrance fees and arrears between now
and thc next annual meeting, excepting what
may bc needed Tor the actual expenses of thc
Board.
A communication was read from the Board or
Trade of Newark, N. J., asking the co-operation
of this Board or Trade, to request our representa?
tives tn Cougress to introduce a bill In thc House
for the establishment by the United States Gov?
ernment of lines of telegraph iu all Hie States and
Territories, to bc employed by thc government lu
combinatiou with the Postortlce Department.
Referred to the Executive Committee.
So also was a communication from the secre?
tary or the National Board or Trade, in relation to
trade statistics and thc publication or daily mar?
ket reports by thc boards or trade.
Notice was given by Mr. IL H. DcLcou that he
will introduce, at the next meeting, au amend?
ment to thc constitution and by-laws, making
the entrance Iee arter the next anniversary meet
ng $20 Instead or $10, as now, aud that thc an?
nual subscriptions be paid iu variably In advance.
On motion of Mr. E. W. Marshall, it was
Resolved, That the secretary give notice to all
members who shall not pay their arrears by thc
next regular meeting, that the penalty under the
constitution and by-laws shall be enforced.
On motion, thc Board adjourned.

TUE MILLS HOUSE HOP.-The first ball of
tho season is always a success, and a number of
gentlemen, who feel Ibo necessity of public
amusement and who have a strong affection for
Terpsichorean entertainments, met ?mil discussed
the question In its various phases, and decided
to combine with tho host of the Mills House and
give a ball that would have no superior. Monday
evening, thc loth instant, has been chosen.
Guests have been invited aud every precautiuu
taken to have it one of thc most enjoyable occa?
sions in thc New Year.
PE RSOXAL.-Mr. John Chadwick has returned
to thc city, aud is slaying at the Mills House.
Colonel (tyan, of thc Cuban Legion, with a party
of Cuban refugees, arc at the Pavilion notel.
The Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company will
celebrate their anniversary on Saturday night by
a supper, given in the Market Hall. It ls rumored
that Aug. T. Smythe, Esq., will be chosen presi?
dent at their next regular meeting.
The Hoard of Cont rol of the Widows' Home meet
this evening to consider a proposition for the
future government of thc institution.
THE ASSAULT OX MRS. RICHARDSON.- Thc
Columbia Phtcnix ls Informed that Chief Consta?
ble nubbard, with thc assistance or Chief Rad?
cliffe and Mr. Gurley, or the Columbia police, have
succeeded in arresting tl?? parties guilty of thc bru?
tal assault upon Mrs. Richardson, on Monday, the
27th ult. Credit is due Dr. Trczcvant, who fur?
nished thc information which led to the arrest.
There is every hope that Mrs. R. will recover from
thc attack. Although ninety-seven years of agc,
she shows a strong will and determination. The
prisoners bear marks on their faces and hands of
their reception by the old lady.
THE CUSTOMHOUSE WAR.-Thc trial of Dr.
A. C. Mackey in the United States court, for ob?
structing a customhouse ofllccr in thc discharge
or his duty, has developed thc singular contempt
the great Republican leaders have ror veracity.
Collector Clark. In his testimony, states that Dr.
Mackey did abuse Grant, and use language that
thc other denies. Dr. Mackey in turn tcstitles that
Collector Clark titus made a sworn statement of
what was raise. In a word, they have charged
each other with perjury, and made the asseva
Hon with smiling laces. The dnirt-roora was
enlivened with these recriminations bulli on
Monday and Tuesday. Thc testimony will be
closed to-day and the arguments commenced.
SHAKESPEARE AT THU ACADEMY OF MUSIC
MK. WARNER AS SHYLOCK.-The Merchant or Ven?
ice was perfermcd last night to a full and bril?
liant house. Less impressive, of course, than
Hamlet or Richelieu, Mr. Warner's Shylock was
an admirable conception of the grasping, malig?
nant and cruel Jew. In thc trial scene, espe?
cially, where mingled hate and triumph and re?
venge sway his 6J:II, lils acting exhibited a degree
of hideous malice and ferocity that we had hardly
believed could have been thrown into the part.
The support given by the company to Mr. Warner
in the play, though creditable in some respects,
was not, by any means, what wc could have
wished; and the efforts of the prompter lo help
out those who were deficient in their parts were
much too frequent and undisguised to be pleas?
ant. It must be said, however, that Manager
Ford and his company, in undertaking thc pre?
sentation of a new aud elaborate play every
night, have had to eucountcr peculiar embarrass?
ments, to which managers in larger cities,
which can afford to run a successful piece for a
week or more, urestraugcrs; and, everything con?
sidered, the marvel is how thc company has man?
aged to secure the degree of smoothness In the
performances which has actually been attained.
Miss Eldridge, as Portia, acted with grace and
spirit, and in thc trial scene both she and Mr.
Wood (Gratiano) won repeated plaudits. The
artcrplecc, "Dodging for a Wire," went off pleas?
antly, thanks to the broad drollery or Mr. Ryan.
A most agreeable Incident or thc evening was
the reappearance in the orchestra or Mr. Withers,
thc eminent violinist, whose wonderful execu?
tion became so popular during the engagement
of the Chapman Sisters. His presence had not
been noticed by many or the audience until the
close or the Merchant or Venice, when thc magic
voice or his Cremona, In the wonderful variations
which he knows so well how to create, hushed all
conversation, In thc delight of cager listeners. A
single air would not satlsry thc house, and when,
In response to the general wish, Mr. Withers be?
gan the grand old melody or Dixie, pit and gaile
rles alike broke forth lu tumultuous and pro?
longed applause.
Bulwer's splendid play, the Lady or LyonB, will
be presented to-night, with Mr. Warner as Claude
Melnotte. The young ladles, especially, should
all make lt a point to see him In that character.
CRUMBS.-Thc Manhattan arrived In New
York on Tuesday morning, and thc Charleston
sailed from this port on Tuesday afternoon.
We have received from the Hon. R. Tomlinson,
State Auditor, a copy of his report to the Genend
Assembly, for which wc beg to return our thanks.
Owing to a death In thc family or Chief Justice
Moses, thc Supreme Court will not meet uutll
Monday nc\t.
The Governor has appointed C. J. Colcock, Jr.,
notary public for Gillisouville, aud John Wingate
notary public ror Charleston.
Thc snow of Monday was seen in some sheltered
nooks yesterday morning, but melted before the
rays of Hie sun.

rjlHE WATT PLOUGH TRIUMPHANT!
Tills PLOUGH ls now thc leading Plough of the
Middle and Cotton States.
Among thc hundreds of testimonials we have
from practical Planters and Farmers, we would
call attention to the following extract from alet
ter received rrom Colonel IL G. LOCKETT, of the
large planting linn of Jordan A Lockett, dated
Albany, Ga.. November 27, 1809:
"Before closing tliis letter, I cannot refrain from
expressing my siucere thanks to yon for the in?
vention of the BEST PLOUGH NOW IN USE. It
is Hie delight of the negro. Besides dotug the
best work that 1 have ever seen any Plough do, it
runs with more ease to the plouzhman. and the
draft to the animal ls lighter than any Plough I
have ever used.
"Your Plough has already become a necessity
to me, and I would feel ruined without it. I am
satisfied we have saved, annnually, thousands of
dollareii?Kules alone. It is thc Cheapest Plough
I have evervused, of any kind or description, and
I am anxlotis to bring, ir I can, to thc notice of
my rellow-planters, this most valuable Plough."
Colonel Lockett commenced using these Ploughs
tn the spring of 1S68, and now has more than two
hundred and fifty (250) of them on his plantations.
We have testimonials as emphatic from leading
plautcrs in North Carolina, south Carolina, Geor?
gia, Alabama and Texas, but this will suffice for
the most Incredulous.
During the present fall, this Plough has taken
Premiums at Eight Fairs he'd In Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama, and re?
ceived the Highest Ratings at the Great Field Trial
tn Pennsylvania, in August last, when nure than
Fifty Different Ploughs were tested.
