C. DeLeon. Esq.. has withdrawn rrom the position or managing editor of tho Mobile Regis? ter. -Suclng newspapers for libel don't pay. Fifty suits in the past I wo years have only aggregated $3000 damages. .-The Philadelphia papers lament the Mbit common to Southern merchants of "passing on to New York to purchase.'' -A Cincinnati genius has invented a machine by which a performer on thc flute or violin can accompany himself on the piano. -A machine having been Invented to clean the ramie Obre, tilts, the Xcw Orleans Picayune says,' removes the only objection to Its culture. -There are said tc be 80,000 sewing women in New York and Brooklyn, whose Individual earn? ings do not average more than S3 50 a week. -Mr. Greeley's salary as editor of the Tribune has been raised to fio.ooo per annum. At the an? nual meeting of tlie stockholders last week, $50, ooo were divided, or which the late A. D. Richard? son is credited with $sico, and the late S. T. Clarke, $22,850. -This is thc latest for brides: A plain gold bracelet which fastcus with a lock and gold key, and which thc husband places on her arm at the altar, locking it, and placing thc key on his wavell chain. The bracelet " cannot bc removed with? out the husband's assistance, and thus both are constantly remladdc ol each other." -The lucky Fort Edward (New York) milliner, to whom her aillanced lover, a young English nobleman, left $17,000,000 at his death some months ago, hailed from Clover, Vermont, and ls the niece of Daniel Gray of that town. All?t tempts to set aside the will have beeu abandoned and she is informed by her agent in London that an instalment or $5.000,000 of this snug little be quest will be forwarded the prisent month. She is reported as being a quiet, sensible girl, and not likely to bc upset by this staggering freak or for tune. -Thc German hospital of New York has re el'lved from Germany an unexpected gift of $50, OOO in 5-203. The giver was the Baron Von Dier gardt, a young man who lias just inherited a large fortune, and begins by making use or lt in this t> manner. He has never been in the United States, and was doubtless prompted to this great sot or charity by finding a large quantity of United | j States bonds among lils Inheritance. The hospl tal, which is at thc corner ot Fourth avenue and j j Seventy-seventh street, New York, will be greatly benefit ted by this acquisition. . -In the telegraph war between thc operators | I and the Western Union line, both sides remain ob stinate; the strike continues; the company and the men each till a great deal of the space of some of the newspapers with their explanations or com plaints, bat thc matter of interest to the public is ' 1 that the strike continues. So far as the press ls | ? concerned, the company has made especial efforts to serve lt with new,, i hough it has had to strain I . every nervo to do so, with a limited force and nearly all night work, which ls reit to bc a very ' ?treat inconvenience. -A telegram was received at thc War Depart? ment, in Washington, on Sunday, rrom General Reynolds, the military commandant in Texas, stating that the constitution of that State has been adopted almost unanimously, and E. J. Davis elected Governor by a plurality of seven hundred and eighty-three votes. The other State | j officers arc J. W. Flauigun, Lltutcnnnt-Governor; A. Bledsoe, comptroller: G. W. Honey, treasurer, and Jacob Kuechler, land commissioner. The j 1 above named have been appointed oftlcers of the provisional government. -The operative cotton spinners or Glasgow, I , Scotland, received intimation rrom their employ? ers to the effect that, in rousequence or long con- | I tinned dullness lu the trade, their wages were to be reduced to thc extent or ten percent, from | i and after the first pay day in isro. As the opera? tives are paid fortnightly, this provides for the redaction taking effect on Saturday, the 16th day or January. The members or thc trade afterwards held a meeting on this subject, and after delibera? tion, lt was agreed to transmit a communication I a to the employers objecting strongly^to the rule. { -The great natural curiosity known as Sunken Lake is situated In thc Cascade Mountains, about eeventy-flvo miles northeast of Jacksonville, Ore? gon. The walls are two thousand feet high, and | t almost perpendicular, ruuning down into thc water, and leaving no beach. Thc depth ls un? known, the suriace ls smooth aud unruffled, and lt lies so Tar below the surface of the mountain taat the air currents ?lo not affect lt. Its leugth * ls estimated at twelve miles, aud its breadth at ii teu. NtvUlvlag man ha3, it is said, ever reached the water's ed-e. The lake lies "silent, still and mysterious in the bosom of thc everlasting hills, . , like a huge well scooped on by the hands off genii." -Ou Friday evening last, as the steamer Atlas, plying between New York and South Amboy, had reached tho dock at Hie latter station, two lady passengers, ia their eagerness to get off, were standing under thc apron which connects the boat with the dock, and which the men were m thc act ol letting down. A deck hand named John Riddle, seeing the danger in which the ladies were placed, stepped forward and pushed them backward, but had not time to get away him? self when the apron, weighing two tons, acci? dentally foll and striking him on the head broke his neck. The unfortunate man was twenty-four yeare or age, and resided formerly at Middletown Point, N. J. -The English postofflce authorities have prepa? red, for the use of the public, forms for telegra? phic messages to tie used when the whole system .r Inland telegraphs is acquired by the govern? ment on the 29th or next month. The form is very simple and complete, and differs in one or two impon ant respects rrom those lui hen o em? ployed by tho companies-the novelties, it may? be added, being decided improvements. The principal of these refers to the arrangement or the words that make up the message. A separate space in lines is allotted to each word, and the corresponding charge is printed clearly on thc marg.n, s<> tha' the sender can see at a glance how much he has to pay, and the receiving clerk need be at no trouble lu calculating how much he I K hes to cauig.'. Each o.rthe form j thus divided I v into spaces ls prepared for a racssar.o of fifty words, which is-aasuuied to he su?tcent la the great majority of instances. In tho right hand upper corner of the page a blank space is left for thc stamp, which will probably bc almost exclu? sively used to cover thc charges of transmission. Attached to the form are directions for the guld aucc of the sender, with a tarin'of charges, and full information as to thc arrangements for por terage. Land for thc Landless. / / Tito Legislature now proposes to appropri? ate one million dollars, (making twelve hun? dred thousand dollars in all.) for thc pur? chase of lauds to lie sold on credit to the landless. It is claimed that the State will he well se? cured, because it will in all cases receive as much money for interest as it pays out for interest on thc money which it borrows, as well as because it will have a first lien until the lands are paid for. In the face of the facts that have come to light about the oper? ations of thc land commission up to this time, it can hardly be proved tbat the land bought by the State eau always bc resold at the cost price. And an addition of one mil? lion dollars to the State debt, however it may bc gluzenoi! over, will unquestionably affect injuriously the financial credit which thc Radicals profess to bc so cager to main? tain. Nor can we see that the appropriation is necessary for the colored people. They who have a little money or a little credit^ can buy land now cf private persons, whether they be white or black. The land commis? sion, if honestly administered, will benefit the speculator or the thriftless negro, and will in no way improve the position of the industrious poor. And there is no end to the help demanded by those who cannot help themselves, as there is no satiating the pecuniary appetite of the greedy Radical ad? venturer. The colored people, if they know what is best for them, will not desire thc squander? ing of another million dollars. The Township Law. The curious protest of SeuatOiS Corbin and Jillson against thc passage of the bill repealing the tc-vnship law, is printed this moruiug. Passing over questions of consti? tutionality, which have nothing to do with Radical legislation, there is no novelty in the declamatory statement of the protestants. We have heard before, in other things than township laws, that it is sound policy to throw good money after bad, but we arc not converted. Tho township system may, wc admit, work well in States which have a dense population, but what ha3 that to do with South Carolina? That thc New York code can be copied over and adopted as the code of this State, at a cost of over $15,000, is no rc: .sou why the township law should hu adopted in the same manner. The township business would have cost the State a million of dollars already, which will now be saved, and if there be any deficiencies in the county law, if the counties require new legislation in consequence of the repeal of the township l?w, we have legislators enough iu Columbia to do the job quickly, and, we hope, cheaply ! A Living Curiosity. * The petition of the Mayor and Al?ermen of Charleston, in regard to the flour inspect? orship, isas great a curiosity in its way as the Leopard Boy, the Pet Snake, the Fat QM, or any other of the prodigies on exhi? bition at the Market Hall. We all know the facts of the case. A flour inspector, Mr. C. fi. Averill, was duly elected. When the Pillsbury Council came in, they declared all the city offices vacant, and proceeded to an ?lection. A Mr. Caulfield was elected flour inspector, but Mr. Averill declined to t?cate iiis office. Next came n mock trial, and the :onvictlon and dismissal of Mr. Averill. Even this was not enough to make the wrong i ;he right. An appeal was had to the courts, ( md the Supreme Court a. cided in favor of Hr. Averill. Now, the Mayor and Alderman petition the Legislature to abolish the office )f flour inspector, so that "they may elect | 'a proper person," and in order '-to stay 'the courts from their extra judicial inter- i 'ferencc" with thc rig),ts of thc petitioners. , Cheap Telegraphy. Within the last year or two the press of : he United States have hud a good deal to iay on the subject of placing the telegraph ines of the country under the control of the rovernmcnt, upou the same plan as that re- t :ently adopted in England. Thc discussion , ins been constaut and active; but it is ap- ? lurent that while all admit the necessity ol' t iheapening the cost of telegraphing, thcro 1 3 a wholesome dread of adding to the im- . aensc powers already enjoyed by thc body if dictators who style themselves the Con- ? xess of the nation. i The magnetic wires are now os important 1 s the mails. Only thc details of important transactions are forwarded through the post- \ iflice. The business Itself, domestic and - oreign, is effected by telegraph, or is con rolled by telegraphic udvices, and if the * ates were lower commercial writing would t oon bc unnecessary. It is to the interest or ivery merchant, of every business man, to : lave the rates low; but the bureau must be ibsolulely free from espionage or govern- .l neut interference. In England and in almost every country of [ ?urope, tho charges for the transmission of r iiessages by telegraph arc much lower thou - n the United States. A Northern paper is ?ssured that in Great Britain a dispatch of i wenty words can bc seut at a uniform rate if one shilling all over the couutry-a dis ance of over 700 miles; the same dispatch an be sent from one end of France to an- ? ither for one franc ; all over Belgium aud Switzerland for haifa franc, or ten cents; denmark, twelve and a half cents; Prussia, [ rom twelve and a half cents to thirty-seven v :ents; Sweden and Norwuy, ?my distance for - hirty cents for a message of twenty words, md one cent for each additional word; from darscilles to the north of Scotland, a dis- ( ance of 1400 miles, traversing two king- k loins and crossing thc Straits of Dover by iubmarine cable, for fifty-five cents. These rates seem very low to an Ameri? tan, in spite of the fact that the chairman * if the Committee on I'ostollkes declares that s elegraphing in this country is thc cheapest a n the world. In referring to that declara- > ion, Mr. Washburne said, ina recent speech ?i ti the House: c v "Yet be could not have failed to know that, n f he desired to scud a dispatch of twenty fords to his home Ic Illinois, and was not fa vored with a 'D. H.' (dead head) pass, he would have to pay $3 for a similar message; to" the home of the Missouri member of that committee $4 would be charged; the Michigan member, $2 80; the New Jersey member, $1 25; the Massachusetts member, $1 23; the Indiana member, ?2 30: Ihc Kentucky member. $2 50: thc Nevada member, $9 28, and thc Oregon member, $13 GO, or ?5 70 more than it would cost to send a message of ten words irom Washington to Constantinople by the Atlantic cable and continental lines." It will be seen from these ligures that, so far from being the cheapest in the world, telegraphing in this country is thc most ex? pensive in the world. The rates of charges now paid should certainly bc reduced. Such a reduction would be a blessing to the pub? lic at largo, and would entail no loss on thc telegraph companies, as their business would be increased sufficiently to prevent it. But thc result should not bo obtained through the intervention of government, which has enough to do with our private affaira already, but through a wholesome competition on the part of numerous rival lines. Competition will bring down the rates, and insure more celerity in transmitting and delivering messages. An instance is within our knowledge, where an opposition Hue was established between two cities and the rates reduced about two-third.*, and yet the gross receipts of thc now company, at the reduced price, arc as great as the receipts of the old company, at thc high rates, with no competition. Assuming that the grose receipts of the old company have not dimin? ished, thc reduced rates have caused the business to increase six-fold. As the price falls, the demand. must and will increase. The experience of thc cable proved this, if it was thought that telegraph companies are exempt from the operations of a general law. At present the telegraph system of the South is a monopoly. What wc want is not gov? ernment interference, but open and active competition. THAT shrewd observer of men and events, Don Platt, of the Cincinnati Commercial, remarks: "The suspicion is gaining ground "that had we put in Grant <fc Co. at the "time we did McClellan, they would, in all "human probability, have come out as well "plucked as he was. These last great he "roes of the war had the good luck to be in "command when the Confederates had no "longer thc fierce armies that sent ours "whirling back into Washington. Tho war "had ended in the South nearly a year be? t?re we learned the fact at the North. Of "course this is neither patriotic nor loyal. "One ought to puff and snort, and bump "one's head before the idol of the day, '.whether he lias brains or is only stuffed "out with old newspapers." At last Ihc milk in the cocoanut begins to leak out The bill to extend thc limits of Oharleston-or Mackeyville, as it is called in Columbia-is nothing more nor less than a scheme to elevate Dr. A. G. Mackey or his distinguished kinsman, T. J., to-the chief magistracy of this city. Nobody will weep, therefore, if the bill, as our correspondent predicts, should fail to pass. Our Columbia correspondence gives an interesting r?sum? of thc features of the bill "to create a metropolitan poliee in the State ' of South Carolina." Gr ?matinal. OLD WANTED Apply to W. r.
