Address RIORDAN, DAWSON & CO., No. 149 Rast Ray. Charleston, S. C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1S70. SEWS OF TUE DAY. -The New York gold market was dull to? wards thc close, at 21 ?;'a21.4, but became active and rapid.y advanced to 22 on receipt of Paris . dispatches. -At New York cotton was rather-;?teadler at 25>,'c; sales 4300 bales. -The Liverpool cotton market closed steady ; uplands ll'.'d, Orleans ll VI: sales 12,000 bales, of which 2000 was for speculation and export. -The "Italy of America" is rapidly niling up with people fleeing rrom the cold winds of the North, lt s expected every place In Florida will be crowded for thc balance of thc winter monihs. -A plan has been matured in London for an In? ternational Workmen's Exhibition next summer. It is to be held at the present Agricultural nail, at Islington. Mr. Gladstone presided at the meet lng on Tuesday, and the vice-presidents were .several members of the Cabinet. -The copartnership notice* in the New York -and Boston papers, it is stated, instead of show .InfiMhe formation of new firms by young mer . chants starting iu business on their own account, Indicate that old firms arc consolid?t ng their capital and strengt h. It is argued that young men prefer good situations rather than undergo the risks of trade. -The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has d ecided that persons engaged in purchasing leaf tob i vu und selling it through commission hoascs or agent-, on account, are liable to pay the spe? cial tax of $25 as other dealers arc, not withstand? ing the agent may huvc paid a similar tax. Thc same principle is held to apply to persons selling dist lied spirits through commission houses or agmts. -It Is reported that John Bright i3 building cot? ton mills in America, aud that Whitworth, the .groat English machlnisr. has already an cstab Ushnu-nt on this side of thc water, manufacturing .cotton machinery. Thc best class of English me ch an ics, too, are emigra'ing to the United States, and a letter from London speculates upon the probability that ere long '-Lancashire will be a weird wilderness of smokeless chimneys." -The Message of thc Oovcrnor of New Jersey shows that the financial condition of that State is an unusually healthy one. Thc exhibit for the year shows an excess of receipts over expendi? tures, ind assets enough on hand to pay the .entire debts of the State. Thc Governor takes 'Btrong grounds against the ratification of thc Fifteenth amendment, and favors a qualified suf? frage for all who claim the privilege of the fran? chise hereafter. -Two of the most important committees in the {Ecumenical Council arc those on faith and on the propositions of the bishops. Among the mem? bers of the former are Dr. Manning, Archbishop v ' Westminster, and Archbishop Spalding, of Bal? timore. The other committee, which has thc ex? amination and approval or rejection of all propo? sitions which the bishops wish to bring before the ' -council, includes Cardinals Antonelll, Patrizi, dullen and De Bonnechose, Archbishop Spalding and Dr. Manning. -Th; Fifteenth amendment to the Constrfn tion of the United States was adopted by the .Legislature of Missouri, on January 7th, by a vote of 22 yeas to S nays in thc Senate, and ss yeas to 34 nays in the House. Thc lirst section of the Fifteenth amendment had already bean adopted .by thc Missouri Legislature, by a vote of 20 yeas -to 9 nays in the Senate, and 70 yeas to 00 nays in the House. The second section was not submit? ted, to the Legislature. As the first ratification was defective, the ameudment as it passed Con . gress had to bc again submitted. -The shooting of M. Victor Noir by Prince Bona? parte creates considerable excitement fa Paris. The Prince publishes a statement in the papers, In which he says that M. M. Fouvielle aud M. Vic? tor Noir came to his residence, and lu a menac? ing manner presented a letter rrom M. Pascal Grousset. An altercation ensued, and M. Noir ? slopped the Prince in thc face, whereupon he drew .a?tetol and shot M. Noir, killing him instantly. IC Fuuvlelle aimed a pistol at the Prince, but lt would not go off. The Prince fired three shots at him before he made lils escape. The Prince has been arrested, and will be tried bufare thc nigh Court of Justice.' M. Rochefort's journal, the Mar? seillaise, bas been seized. -Recent reports from Madagascar bring ac? counts of a remarkable change in the religious sentiments or the rulers. For many years Eng? lish missionaries of the Wesleyan denomination and of the Established Church have been laboring with varied success. Radama, the last King, was a Christian, and would have introduced the arts of civilization among his people had he Uved. Arier his death, the Queen Ravanalona, placing herself at the head of the Idol worshippers com? menced a system of most cruel persecution, which bas lasted for a long time. The martyrdoms en? dured by the sufferers s?em to have convinced the rulers that the Christian religion was true, and thc Queen and all the princes have now embraced Christianity and burned thc grand Idol. This ceremouy was commenced by tearing down the fence around the idol's temple and making an Immense bonfire. Into this were thrown a long cane, carried before the Idol in processions, twelve bullock's horns used as sacred vessels, tb?-*c scarlet umbrellas, and .thc idol's silk robe. The Idol's case consisted of the hollow trunk of a small tree, titted with a cover, and the great Idol itself was formed or two pieces of searlet silk, three Inches wide aud three feet long, tied at the ends to a small piece or wood thc size of a man's thumb. Other idols were a little bag Qr sand, three round pieces or wood connected with a silver chain. When the ceremonies were over, the people sent to the Queen to ascertain what they should worship, now that their gods were destroyed. The gov? ernment then requested the native Christians to send teachers. This request was complied with, and it was ascertained that oat of two hundred and eighty towns and villages of the province or Imerina, where the capital city is situated, there were one hundred and twenty in which Christian churches and communities were to be found. -The secret negotiations or our government xprXh Spain are purported to be given by a Wash? ing on corsespondent or thc New York Herald, vim asserts that .In September Minister Sickles was directed by Secretary Fish to teuder to Hie Spanish Government the "friendly ?nices" or the li. ed States ia the hope of bringing about an i niicaMe understanding between the contending i :.rties, and that he at once communicated with * nvela, the Minister of Foreign Affairs ror Spain, jformally tendering ihe good offices of our govern .mt;r.x, which was received on the part of Spain with strong expressions of thunk?. Fair propositions as n basis for thc settle meut of the uifllcultles betweeu Spaiu and lier colonies w?s then drawn up as follows: First-Recognition ol' Cuban Indepen? dence. Second-Indemnification to Spain, to be paid from thc customs revenue of thc island. Third-Abolition of slavery. Fourth-Cessation of hostilities pending thc settlement on the above terms. After a good deal o? delay, during which time the Republican emilie had occurred, ren? dering the political condition of Spain decidedly alarming, wie late Secretary Rawlins induced thc government to instruct Sickles to inform thc Span? ish Government that nuless Spain should consent to sell Cuba to the United StatC3 within ten days we would bc constrained to acknowledge the inde? pendent Republic of Cuba. Silvela replied to the proposition ami offered a substitute to the origi? nal proposition, which was refused, and the "good offices'' tendered by Minister Sickles were withdrawn. The correspondent concludes his revelations with the following remark: "This ef? fectually disposes of the oft-repeat cd assertion that Spain rejected our offer of mediation. The fact ls. we never offered to 'mediate,' so to speak. Wie only tendered our good offices and with? drew them of our own volition." '.Ca Ira !" The good intentions of an absolute ruler are a poor foundation upon which to rear the fabric of constitutional liberty. Power is too sweet to bc willingly relinquished, and where the monarch retains thc supervisory control, whatever the nominal form of thc government, thc lights of the people still depend on Iiis whim or caprice alone. Thc Emperor Napoleon, it was said, ad? mitted the necessity of giving his people parliamentary government, and for this pur? pose consented to the formation of the Olli vier ministry. That ministry framed an ex? cellent programme. There was some hope of peaceful reform. But untoward eveuts in a few da3*s have tangled the whole skein. Napoleon may once moro cut the knot with his sword. Chief amongst the reforms proposed by Hie French Liberal Government was an ex? tension of thc freedom of Hie press. Only three days ago tho cable brought the tidiugs that the lnw ia relation to public prints had been still further modified. The censorship of all foreign journals was Polished, and thc right to sell all French papers in the streets was restored. This promised well. In the Corps L?gislatif, also, more than the usual freedom of discus? sion was allowed. M. Rochefort attack? ed the Emperor with bitter sarcasm, and was not permitted the doubtful honors of martyrdom. The Marseillaise, the succes? sor of La Lanterne, circulated as freely as though press laws were unkuown. Then came the muttering of the storm. A mem? ber of the Imperial family, Prince Pierre Bo? naparte, killed one of the editors of the Marseillaise who had visited him to arrange a hostile meeting. A decree was issued at once convoking a High Court of Justice, by which alone a Prince of the Imperial family can be tried. The opportunity was lost. Napoleon could have made the people un? derstand that one who, by the poor accident of a cousin's fame, calls himself an Imperial Prince, is no more above the law than the "Red" of Paris or the peasant of the prov? inces. Now the question comes, is this Pierre Nai>oleon placed so high that no law can reach him ? is he to' maim and slay and no man gainsay hi3 will ? The verdict of the High Court will not satisfy the people, whatever lt may be. They desired, with jus? tice, that the pugnacious noble should be tried, not as a Prince, but as a mnn and citizen. Nothing less will content them. In the Corps L?gislatif, on Wednesday, a motion was made that the Imperial family should be amenable to the law, according to the usual form. M. Rochefort said that Noir was one of the people, and the people should judge his murderer, who, though cousin of the Emperor, must not escape. These words are significant enough ; but mark the reply of the head of thc Liberal Ministr?-. M. Ollivier promised thc members justice, say? ing in the course of his speech, "We are "justice, law, moderation. If you force us "tee viii be poicer" This plain and une? quivocal threat is of a piece with the Empe? ror's declaration that he was willing to aug? ment thc prerogatives of the Chambers "without diminishing the authority given "him by thc nation." The Emperor will go as far as he pleases, and no farther; but thc opposition is stronger now than it ever was before. Napoleon may soon have to choose between a government of armed force and a government of the people, knowing ut the same limo that neither is sure to strip the republican rose of its thorns, or to secure for "my son" the coveted throne of France. Robbing thc Dead. A cable telegram, stating that lands be? longing to the estate of the late George Pea? body had been seized by tho British Crown, on the ground that no alien can hold real property in England, has doubtless caused some surprise. The English law is decisive, but we doubt not that the necessary meas? ures will be taken at once to ?lieve the property from the penalty it incurred. Noth? ing less than this is due to the dead bene? factor of all who speak the English tongue. And it may happen that thc action of thc officers of the government in this case will arouse the public mind to the importance of sweeping away one of the last remains of feudalism, ami of making England free, without restriction, to all who desire to be? come the owners of her soil. The doctrine of perpetual allegiance is set aside, and if the disabilities of aliens, in the matter of lidding land, are promptly abolished, George Peabody will have one more claim upou our grateful thanks. , Thc Township Law. We note with great pleasure the passage in the Seuate, on Wednesday, of the House bill to repeal the Township law. This law, in full operation, would cost the people of the State at ?east a million of dollars a year, which amount is saved by the unusual com? mon sense and discreet conduct of both branches of the Legislature. This time the General Assembly has done well. Will it not try again ? WE have received from Mr. Manton Mar? ble a copy of "The World Almanac" for 1870, and from the Tribune Association a copy of "The Tribune Almanac" tor 1870. These manuals of political and statistical in? formation uro of groat value, ami no person who takes on interest in matters political should be without one. Th^ Tribune Al? manac is thc fuller of the two, but Thc World Almanac includes various matters which are not fouud iu thc pages of it? rival. Our Neutrality Laws. It will doubtless surprise the public to learn that the recent detention of the steamer Anna, and her seizure by the United States Marshal, is scarcely sustained by constitu? tional or legislative authority.. Thc whole arrest, in derogation of common right of person and property, was based upon the assumption that the act of Congress of ISIS contemplates ^Kfitcto? forfeiture and judicial prot?ts, in rem, by the District Court, in ad? vance of conviction of thc offence designa? ted by the act. A careful perusal of the act will show that not only is no judicial forfeiture contempla? ted, in advance of prosecution and convic? tion, but on the contrary the only forfeiture is consequent upon conviction of persons, who shall be found guilty of attempting "to fit ont "and arm, or procuring to be fitted out and "armed, or being knowingly concerned in "the furnishing, Ac, of a vessel with in 'tcnt,"&c The 2d section of the act de? clares that persons (found) so offending shall be deemed guilty of violating the neu? trality law, and shall be fined and imprison? ed, and the vessel (so fitted out) shall be forfeited. Clearly the forfeiture contemplated is lo follow the p-osecution, trial and conviction of persons so charged. It is imposed as part of the punishment. It cannot be im? posed in advance, upon the assumption of conviction, where no person has been even accused, arrested or indicted of offence agaiustthe statute. Moreover, the act provides no judicial process for securing the vessel, in advance, to await trial of parties charged with arm? ing her. No libel, no proceeding in rem is mentioned, no warrant of arrest, nor any judicial process whatsoever, to provide, be? forehand, for a future possible indictment, trial or conviction. The conspicuous feitore of tho act of 1818 is, that it wholly and ex? clusively throws the responsibility of enforc? ing it t*7>on the Executive Department of the national government, and not upon the courts. The 8th section empowers "the President '.to employ such part of the land and narai "forces of the United, States, or the militia, "as he deems proper, for the purjwse of "taking possession of and detaining any "such ship or vessel, in order to the execu "Hon of the prohibitions and penalties of "this act." The 11th section gives to the Collector power "to detain any vessel mani "featly built for warlike purposes, and about "to depart the United States, of which the "cargo shall principally consist of arms and "munitions of war, and where the number "of men or other circumstances render it "probable, Ac, until the decision of the "President be had thereon." In the case of the Anna, which cleared from New York as a passenger* steamer, with no arms and no capacity or feature of a vessel built for warlike purposes, there was no seizure by the Collector or detention by him under the 11th section; no ordei's fi-om the President; no person or persons were ar? rested or charged under the act with such violation of the law as might have led to conviction and ultimate forfeiture; nothing in fact whereon to ground a prosecution ; and yet the Marshal is suffered to seize the vessel and drive off the crew, as if she had been "lawful prize," and private individuals, owners, ma3ter, crew and passengers are molested and injured, upon the mere affi? davit of the Spanish Consul, expressing his suspicions. Who is to make compensation for these wrongs ? The Marshal, the District Attorney or the Spanish Consul ? Baltimore. Baltimore makes a good show of business for last year. ? The imjwrts of coffee were thc largest ever before known, amounting in the aggregate to three hundred and forty-six thousand three hundred and seventy bags, nearly all from Brazil. The receipts of Hour have been largely in excess of former years, footing up one million one hundred and twenty-three thousand nine hundred and eight-offe b?rrela The same may be said of grain, except corn, thc crop being short. The receipts of wheat over thc previous year wore over a million bushels. The trade in guano has also largely increased, whilst the importation of foreign bides was greater than for many years past. The sugar und molasses trade is steadily on the increase, aud with Hie augmented facilities for refin? ing by the formation of new companies and the erection of additional buildings, the business the present year is expected tobe larger than ever before. The reputation of Ballimore as a tobacco market has been kept up during the year, the iuspectious being forty-four thousand live hundred and forty eiiiht hogsheads. fjotels.
