NEWS OF TB.E DAY. -Gold closed in New York, yesterday, at 20a -'OL;. -In New York, yesterday, cotton closed favor? ing buyers, with no change lu quotations. New settlers are said to be pouring into Texas at the rate of a hundred daily. -A bill authorizing thc removal of the capital of the State of Florida from Tallahassee to Jack? sonville, passed the Senate last Friday almost without opposition, and has gone to the Assem? bly. The New York Herald of Wednesday says: "The market for Southern securities was dull and with? out much.ch.inge in prices, except in the South Carolinas, which were quiet and lower. The fol? lowing were thc latest prices: South Carolina ex coupon, 86aS7; do. new, 80aS2." -A Washington telegram of Wednesday says: "The President's nomination to the Senate to? day of hts own father, Jesse Grant, to be post? master at Covington, Ky., created a great deal of amusement at the capitol. Grant, senior, was first appointed by President Johnson, but as his commission was about to expire, his son reap? pointed him." One chousand Swedish and Swiss immigrants, contracted for by planters aud others in the neighborhood of ?kolona, Miss., arc expected to arrive in a few days. A great many of their country men have preceded them, and it ls said arc giving entire satisfaction to their employers, though not more than one in ten can speak or understand a word of English. How they will stand the summer Ut the cotton Heids remains to be seen. ' -A Washington letter says: "Buslners over the Southern railroads must be .improving from thc fact that daily shipments of rolling stock pass through Washington en route for Dixie. During the past week the following went through: Two engines and tenders for the Northern and South? ern Alabama Road, one engine and tender for thc Nashville and Chattanooga, three passenger cars for the Macon anti Brunswick, two cars ror the M. L. and T., one eugine and tender for the Brunswick and Albany, one engine and tender for the Selma and Gulf, one engine and tender for the Mississippi Central, and one engine and ten- , . tier for the Georgia Air-Line. Some of those In charge of thes? engines aad cars express thc \ opinion that there will be fully as many cars and < . engines passing through here weekly for thc '. .. Soothen. roads for some months to come," -All the accounts of Traupmann's execution agree about the struggle which took place on the scaffold after he had been strapped down on the fatal,plank, and the idea is that he attempted to ! .force' himself into the lunette, receive the blow on his shoulder and be maimed, not killed, How . -ever, Monsieur de Paris is a powerful and expert . ...dividual, and sooa mastered his victim. There ls an anecdote told here of a powerful fellow eau ed Montcharmont, who was condemned to -death at Macon, for having killed five gendarmes. On the scaffold, he seized hold of the execu? tioner, pushed his head into the lunette and I touched the spring; the executioner was badly i placed, and only received a gash on the crown of i the head, bot be went mad. Montcharmout was ? taken back to prison, tried for this new offence, j and again sentenced to death. This time he w ? ( strapped, but he made a violeat effort to escape . the knife, and was only wouaded. It was only on the third attempt that Mon:channont expiated \ Iiis crimes. ..-An astounding story is told by a New York ' World correspondent concerning the Port Jervis ' . National Hank. The officers of the institutiou, < ?which was robbed a few weeks since, arc repre- 1 sen ted as having negotiated wita the thieves for , Ahe return of $23,000 of the stolen bonds upon the ; payment of a certain percentage. It ls alleged ? that the president of the bank, after using every effort to secure thc burglars, received a letter j from a prominent attorney In New York, stating that the town bonds could be negotiated for and , /procured by means of the latter's efforts, and in .response to this information the president visited 1 '?he lawyer, stating to him that he had come not i only prepared to negotiate for the town bonds, < but for all the securities that had teen stolen. ( This Information resulted in a proposition from the thieves to return the town and government 1 bonds for twenty per cent, of their value. Infused 1 with the hope of procuring the stolen treasure, it : is said the bank officers anally concluded to ac? cede; a second Interview was held, and to their surprise the burglars said: "If you want those , bonds you can have them for twenty-five per ?cent, on the town bonds and fifty per cent, on the government bonds." Having discovered that they had been trapped by the'heathen, the offi? cers determined to make the best of the circum? stances and accordingly agreed to accept the sec? ond proposition, hoping, it is said, to eventually secure them without payment of the money. At a subsequent Interview the percentage agreed upon ls alleged to have been paid by the officers of thc institution, and thc $23,000 worth of bonds given up. "Thc transaction," says thc cones pondent, "was intended to be kept a profound secret; a few dc/s have elapsed, .however, and the matter ls out, and Port Jervis is as gossipy os ever." The name of the lawyer is not known, bat the correspondent avers that the president of the bank can inform all Inquirers. -The particulars of thc holocaust in a Liver? pool church are recorded In the foreign papers received yesterday. A vast congregation had been gathered together by the preaching of the Passionists Fathers in the Roman Catholic Chape] of St. Joseph, in Grosvenor street, Rosehill, which is at theeentre of one of thc poorest and most populous parts of the great seaport. The service wastheconcludlng[one of a very successful series, and such multitudes hail crowded to it that arter the chapel was Ulled, thc schoolroom under it was occupied and crammed, and a supplementary 8ervice was improvised, Willie the two services were quietly proceeding a drunken man forced his way into the schoolroom and called out to the. ^preacher, " I Jiave heard you long enough. " Some little disturbance was crea? ted, and some wretched idiot shouted "Fire." Meanwhile several persons amidst the larger congregation overhead had just lighted some wax candles they had taken with them for the preacher's blessing, and an unusual glare had thus been thrown upon the chapel win? dows, which probably confirmed in the minds of the people outside the suspicion, which the cry of fire had raised. The cries were repeated; a panic, seized the schoolroom congregation,, and thej made a rash for the street. The staircase leading to the chapel became choked with the dense mass of struggling people, of whom sixteen were killed, and a large number wounded. The panic seems to have communicated itself to the whole crowd outside the chapel, but to have been allayed with? in by the heroic exertions of the priests, who con? tinued the chapel service to the end, and thus re? tained the greater part of the people in their seats till the crush was over. The catastrophe would have been infinitely greater but for thc presence of mind of thc orticiatlng clergy, and two thou? sand persons were thus enasled, after the panic was over, to go quietly and safely to their home?. Robbing Peter to Pay Pani. The appraisement of thc real and personal property of the city will soon be completed, and the Committee of Ways and Means will then report to the City Council what rate per cent, must be collected to meet the expenses of the city during the current year. During the year ending on January 1st, the expenditures for police and for streets were far larger than they should have been, Perhaps" the new Mayor found it impossible to resist the clamor of his colored constitu? ents; perhaps the new Council thought that it was of more consequence to satisfy tho Radical party than to spare the property owners and taxpayers. Certain it is, that the expenditures were enormous, and as a natural consequence the city was compelled to suspend the payment of the interest on her debt. We are not disposed, however, to make what may seem to be captious ob? jections to the city government. Give us honesty, ability and economy, and we care very little whether the Mayor and Aldermen be Radicals or not And if they will now turn over a new leaf, spend no more than is indispensable, and make the city taxes equable and light, they will not fail to re? ceive at oar bands all the credit that shall be their due. In one particular, an improvement may be made upon the present financial system, and to it the attention of Council is now called. It is customary, in submitting a statement of estimated income and expenditure, to es? timate certain amounts as required for cer? tain specified purposes. Now, we want to see the expenditure in each department confined to the amount appropriated to that depart? ment At present, ii th?ltotaJ estimate be SI,000,000, it is only required that the total expense shall not exceed that sum. The Streets department nay swallow up twice as much as was expected, and the Orphanhouse only half las much. But the city derives no benefit from the saving in thc Orphanhouse. All the 3aving, and more, is swallowed up by Streets. The $1,000,000 is spent somehow, and that is the end of it. This system is all wrong 1 certa. : sum should bc appropriated to each department, and each payment should be charged to its particular appropriation, and the City Treasurer should not be allowed to pay out one dollar more on any one account than the amount appropriated for the purpose. If this be done, the city will enjoy the beuefit of a saving in a par? ticular .department, and will, under no cir cuinstances, "rob Peter to pay Paul," as is now the invariable custom. A Specimen Brick. The Brooklyn Eagle, in a leading article published in its issue of tho 1st inst, de? scribes what it calla the " specimen- bricks" of South Carolina Radicalism. One of these is Land Commissioner and Senator C. P. Leslie who,- as is well known, is an ex Democrat and an ex-New York General Assemblyman. In the well-being of Mr. Leslie the Eagle has a great interest and it accordingly casts some new light upon the early career of the distinguished politician. This is what the Eagle says: "Seuator Leslie ls described asan 'ex-New York Democrat and an ex-Democratic legis- j Iator' from Brooklyn,' hence we feel a local interest In Leslie's well-being. This notorious scamp is now a Republican senator of Hie State ot South Carolina, and State Land Com? missioner as well. Leslie was chosen during thc excitement of tho war to represent one of thc Brooklyn Assembly Districts. A more im? pudent blatherskite never imposed on any constituency. Ho came out in his true colors it.Albany, and passed out of sight with the :lose of his term. He turned up, however, n the police courts of New York a few months ater, as part owner of a house of ill-lame, and laving escaped the penitentiary, we next hear >f him as Republican senator of South Ca,o ina, and Land Commissioner of that most unfortunate Slate. In great upheavals of society its representative men rise to the sur? face. The statesmanship displayed in tho lolicy of reconstruction blossoms into its ful est aud rarest perfection in Senator Leslie, ;he ex-pimp and panderer of New York." Now, we have no reason to doubt :he truth of this statement, and we ask, s this a fit person to be entrusted with the spending of half-a-million of Land Commis^ ;ion funds? Nay more, is there an honest colored man in Barnwell Couuty who is not ?sgusted and ashamed that he should be mis-represented in the Senate of the State by this C. P. Leslie? Model Workers. A fanner in Greenville has two model ten? ants. One of them, a white man, has lived on one of his farm for three years, and now pays more for rent than was produced on the entire place any year previous to the last three years. This man is really indus? trious, and although he has a family of eight or nine children, has paid, beside his current domestic expenses, a good portion of a debt for money advaticed him by his landlord. The other, a colored man, named Daniel Seaborne, has been on the farm three yeare or more, starting with about bread enough for one year, and two small pigs. At this time, according to the Greenville Enterprise, he has as much bacon as he needs; has bought and paid for two fine milch cows; has a fine lot of of stock hogs; has a good farm horse, worth $150, upon which he owes $95; has plenty of flour for breakfast during the year; has corn in abundance for bread and stock, also fodder, and some to sparc; has eighteen acres of wheat, pul in with his own seed, two thirds of which proceeds will be Iiis own ; has a half interest in five bales of cotton, weighing from 440 to 500 pounds. These are model workers-model3 worthy of imitation. And it must be remembered that theso men had no land commission to help them, and had no labor commissioner to meddle with their aliuiri. They weut man? fully to work; an;l they made money. Work! work! work! was the sole secret of their success. . The Effect of the Supreme Court Deel, alon. The following is a statement of the outstand? ing obligations of the several States, con? tracted prior to the operations of the Legal tender act, and which, therefore, came under tho cognizance of the conclusions of the court : OUTSTANDING DEBTS, CONTRACTED PttlOR TO 1862. Pennsylvania. $9,680,000 New York (less sinking fund) about. 14,8S9,000 Louislana (exclusive of Consolida? ted Bank and Citizens' Bank loans). 3,018,000 Massachusetts. 11,808,000 North Carolina. 13,116,000 Arkansas. 3,483,000 Maine.. 1,106,000 Vermont. 627,000 Ohio. 10,114,000 Maryland. 6,128,000 New Hampshire. 809,000 Indiana, about. 1,500,000 Georgia. 2,543,000 Iowa. 300,000 New Jersey. 1,380.000 Missouri. 12,753,000 Illinois. 5,063,000 Rhode Island. 30,000 Michigan (including school fund). 5.182,000 Connecticut. 4,000,000 Tennessee Railroad_$20,153,000 State proper. 3,343,000 - 23,496,000 Kentucfy.... 2,805,000 Kansas. 150,000 Virginia. 32,808.000 South Carolina (about). 4,124,000 hAiabania..'. WT: : ... : ? '4,175.000 Total.$185,334,000 Thc interest on the South Carolina debt is now paid in gold, and it is hoped and be? lieved that the debt falling due may be re? newed on favorable terms. It has not been expected to pay the principal of our State debt in greenbacks, and tho debt is so small, in proportion to the resources of the State, that there ought not to be any trouble in ar? ranging its extension or renewal. The mo? tives of the Radical ring in "bulling" up the bonds and stocks of thc State are patent to every one ; but the fact stands on the re? cord that we have, in spite of the extrava gancicS'Of radicalism, a small deb? and un? tarnished credit We append the remarks of the New York Commercial Advertiser upon the foregoing table of before-the-war debt : "It will then be seen, that $185.000,000 of | State obligations, thc interest On which, since 1862, has been paid almost exclusively in cur? rency (except the suspended States,) now be? come payable, both interest and principal, in coin. With gold at its present price, this is equivalent to an addition of about 20 per cent, to thc debt of the States, as hitherto estima? ted. Thc decision of the court appears to con? vey the conclusion that no issues of legal tenders, in a state of peace, are constitu? tional, which discourages any speculative hopes of a further Inflation of the greenback circulation. It ls open to question whether thc decision may not affect thc constitution? ality of the proposed further issues of bank circulation. National bank notes are now a legal tender to the banks, between the banks, and (with certain limitations) to and from the government. It would seem that no new Issues ot national currency can possess these partial legal-tender fu Mons; the inference being based upon the same grounds as prohibit the issue of any addition absolute legal-tender notes by the government." K. K. K. The Yorkville Enquirer treats the whole story of K. K. K. outrages in York as a political trick, and reports that the State constables have gone back to Columbia. It says: "Deputy Constable Llttlefleld reported that he found the county In the hands of armed bands of desperadoes, a statement which we pronounce false. There are ten townships in this county, and he garrisoned but one of these. We do not believe he found any armed bands in that one; for he says himself that he could not get evidence to Justiry bim In making any arrests, a state of affairs which would have been utterly impossible, had the county been In the condition he says it was. The "desper? adoes" must bo of a remarkably timid class, If | they subsided so quietly upon the approach of six constables. "Thc truth is, the county is In thc hands of j our civil officers, who have never had any diffi? culty in making arrests or preserving the peace when called upon. Littlctlcld lets the cat out of the wallet, when he says he "lm- ? mediately organized a military company, and .rave them arms agreeably to his Instructions." That's the whole secret. 'His instructions' was to form a military company first, and trump up some excuse for it afterwards. And here ls his excuse. A conversation was over? heard between two supposed 'desperadoes,' one of whom said to the other: 'We will con- ! tlnuc these outrages until thc election, and If | it does not intimidate these Radicals so that they will stay away from tho polls, we will take forcible possession of them, and carry the election next fall at all hazards.' 'Why did not Llttlefleld arrest these two men and confront them with their accusers ? That was the evidence ho wanted, and It was his duty to look into thc matter. If any such Intentions were expressed, the people of York want to know who it is that expressed them. They also desire to know who are the 'des? peradoes' in their midst. But Llttlefleld was too wary to commit himself and expose the ut? ter want of Justification for his course in obey? ing 'his instructions.' Thc consequence, so far as he is concerned, ls that nobody believes the story. The result will bc damaging to Governor Scott also, who abuses the power entrusted to him by keeping up a show of pre? serving order by force, when he must be con? vinced, if he pays any regard to evidence, that this is more calculated to promote than to prevent disturbance. So far as political effect, is concerned, the Govornor has taken the wrong method to radicalize York. Take care of the rebound, Governor, when thia mat? ter is discussed next summer." Journalism In Virginia. We notice several recent changes in the I personnel of Hie Virginia press. Mr. Wm. E. Cameron, of the Petersburg Index, will edit the Richmond Whig, during the absence of Mr. Alexander Mosely, who goes to Flor? ida for his health. Meantime, Mr. Hampden Chamberlayne will fill the editorial chair of I thc Index, Dr. George W. Bagby has as? sumed charge of thc Petersburg Courier, and Mr. Jamos Barbour, of Culpeper, has been associated with Mr. Southall iu the con? duct of the Richmond Enquirer. THE Greenville Enterprise has been en? larged and otherwise improved. It is in every respect a capital paper, and is pub? lished at the very low price of two dollars a year. WK are glad to loam that more than five thousand dollars has already ben subscribed for the purpose or erecting a new and com? modious Methodist church in Greenville. | ?fleetings. ST.

We would invite the attention of Planters to the consideration or some or tic advantages In the cultivation or SORGO as a Crop, which are, the small amount or labor; the hardy character or thc plant In its ability to endure, without ma? terial injury, both drought and wet; tts freedom from the attack of worms; Its early maturing, and the fact that thc Seed and every part of tte plant Ls of great v?!ue. In consequence m the Imperfect method hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice of this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belief that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very Inferior Syrup. But, by the discovery of the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed In the minds of all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that not only pore Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups or the Refineries, ls pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make it without doubt, tue most protltable crop that caa bc plant? ed. Of these racts abundant evidence can be shown. Any information on this subject can be obtain? ed by applying to Mr. F. G. CART, Charleston, S.
