Swectzer. who died at New York on Thursday, was best known to the general public as one of the original rounders or the Round Table, a literary and critical weekly, which evinced decided ability In Its earlier days, but which degenerated worully at thc last, and was finally merged with the New York Citizen. Mr. S werner began his professional career on the New York Time?, but at thc same time of his death he was one or thc nlrht editors of thc World. He was the Arithmetic Maa of that paper, und for several years he has compiled th; World Almanac. He wu3 a plea*uut and versatile writer, and could readily turu his hand to auy depart? ment in Journalism. -The high price of ise, which, lt is feared, will prevail next summer, has attracted the attention of the hotel keepers or Nsw York City, and meeting was recently held to take concerted ac tlon to obtain ice at lower rates t lia ti those an nonnced by the companies. At this meeting it was asserted that all Uv: Icc companies or Nev. York ure under ono management, and carn a profit or Trom thirty to fifty per cent, on tho gros receipts. It was therefore proposed to organize a new company, with a capital of $200,000, for the purpose of supplying stockholders with lee at s l nerton. Brewers, fish, poultry ana meat pack era, and other large consumers or Icc, have been invited to unite in forwarding thc enterprise. It is believed that tho company will pay a handsome profit, and at th? same time supply Ice at a low rate. -A Washington dispatch of Friday, to the New York Tribune, says : "Secretary Boutwell was at the capitol to-day. and on being questioned by a leading member or the Ways and Means Commit tee whether he favored the thirty million reduc? tion or internal taxes, which was formally agreed to by the committee yesterday, he stated most, emphatically that he was opposed to sucli a re? daction at the present time. He maintained thai it was very Important that a portion of the debt should bc funded before any reduction was made. He had no donbr, that if the funding bill reported oy Senator Sherman was passed at au early day, ?he would bc able to fund five or six hundred mil? lions within the present year. Money was abun? dant In all the European capitals, walting Invest? ment, and he had no doubt that several hundred millions would speedily be taken. He hoped, therefore that the committee would press this measure as soon as it reached the House. That until five or six hundred millions ortho debt wore funded he did not vblnk lc advisable to reduce the revenue. He said thc President had never Indi? cated to him that he desired any reduction or thc taxes, or the Funding bil) postponed until next year." -The latest reporta from the .?Ever-raithful Isle" are to the 10th Instant. General Goycncche's report of hts expedid jn in search of General Fu? ello has been made public, and, though lt is writ? ten in thc usual pompous and exaggerated style er Spanish official reports, tc discloses that his ex? pedition against the Insurgents was a failure. Besides Innumerable skirmishes, the general ad? mits of having bul two serious engagements. The first was at ins fortified position of Asiento, defended by only two hundred insurgents, who very naturally were routed by tho forty-five hun? dred Spaniards. The second engagement was at the mn (loma) of Imias. Herc 1200 well-armed Insurgents, commanded by General (la e Colonel) BcauTilttera, thc French artillerist, kept the iar-outnurabertng Spanish column in check for nearly an hour, and only retired, and then In good order and with trilling losses, I fr?en ?beat bel?g floated by the Spaniards. ? ? correspondent of tue Diario de la Marina, who f jllon-ed the expedition, gives thc Spanish losses in the single engagement or Imias alone at thirty - nve killed and wounded, and those of the Insur? gents during tho twelve days at eighty-seven killed, many wounded and twenty-eight captured. Thc young son or C?spedes, reported captured by General G oyen eche, turuert out to be a boy only eicht years old, of the nams or C?spedes? sou or a fourteenth cousin of the ? resident. Be? cause or ibis remote connection between the Cubau chief executive and the little fellow, thc chivalrous Spaniards arc valiantly holding the latter u3 a prisoner of war. Seven engagements have of late beca fought betweeu the Spanish and Cuban troops, and although thc Spaniards, with their usual presumption, claim to have invariably thc advantage, private advices leave no doubt or their having beea worstod In three or thc engage? ments. Irish L,an<i. Thc Irish Land bill introduced in the House of Commons by Mr. Gladstone, the British Premier, on Tuesday last, is said to have received the unqualified approval of the Irish members of Parliament. Those, however, do not always represent as much the feelings of the Irish people as the senti? ments of the English landowners, and it is fortunate that we are able to compare what the Ministers offer, as the best they can do, with what the Irish peasantry demand, as thc least they will accept The central want and wi3h of the Irish, as set forth in an e3say on Irish tenures by the Rev. Mr. Lavelle, an Irish priest, is a fixed tenure of land, thc tenant to have his hold? ing forever upon payment of a fixed rent. This perpetual holding :s asked for ns a right, not a3 a boon, and whether the land? lords, reduced to the position of annuitants, should receive a compensation for being put on a new footing, is perfectly immaterial to Irishmen. Besides the perpetual holding, the Irish ask that every farmer he under a legal obligation to keep at least two-thirds of his lauds, so that the rural laborers may be sure of employment The waste lands should be handed over, on liberal terms, to tenants willing to reclaim them ; a check is to be put on absenteeism, by imposing on absentees a fine of one-fourth of the Income they derive from Irish land; and the man? agement of Irish capital, the development of Irish industry, the making of Irish laws, and the assessing and expenditure of Irish taxes, are to be left in Ireland's own hands. This is the programme of the popular lead? ers, who are so far moderate that they do not insist upon actual political and territo? rial independence. Judged by this standard, the Irish Land bill is not likely to satisfy the people for whose benefit it is proposed. Security of tenure is promised, it is true; but this, as well as can be learned from the telegraphic abstract of the bill, will amount to little more than a payment to outgoing tenants for improvements giving value to thoir hold? ing. This view is confirmed by the state? ment that the "Uister customs" will be re? cognized. These "customs" allow the out? going tenant to claim payment hy way of compensation, from the incoming tenant, and, in the province which gives them their name, have been productive of substantial gooc*. The bill also provides for loans to tenants who desire to buy lands, and for loaus to enable landowners to reclaim waste lands. There are, also, the highly proper provisions that evictions for non-payment of rent shall bar all claims against tenants, than notice to quit shall give the tenant one year's limo from the end of the current year, md that the county taxes shall be divided betwten the landlords and the tenants. These are the main features of the new Land hill, and, although it d ?es not give the people the one thing that they most desire, it has evidently been framed in a broad and liberal spirit and with an earnest desire to secure the greatest good of the greatest num? ber of the Irish people. The bill will be read a second time on the 7th of March, and the debates and the articles in the public press will then indicate what effect Uie proposed measure will have in pacifying and calming Hie "Sister Isle." Mr. Gladstone can force the bill through both houses if he so deter? mines, and the only question to be solved ia, Will the new law, whatever its liberality, ?ontent the Irish masses and give them an opportunity of makiug Ireland thc happy ii'.tne of ti prosperous and contented people? ?.A Place lu tilt Fight." The Orangeburg .Veiw reviews in a lead? ing article the political plan of battle marked out in these columns, and'says with honest emphasis: '.?hc colored man is a voter and will romain so forever. Whoever rules must rule by his majority. For the sake ot our State's future, cr our own and our children's chances of liv ng, let us conciliate his vote. Assure him hat he is free forever and will vote forever, md that he ris!<3 none ot these, his newly ac lulred and Justly prized rights, by voting with is. And he will vote with us! Nothing milling else can redeem the State." This is, wc need hardly say, thoroughly in iccord with the principles enunciated by )arselvcs, and wc are glad, indeed, to meet vith so earnest and outspoken an ally. To mr Ontngeburg contemporary, under its )rcsent management we have always con :eded thc praise due to ability and sincerity. .Vc have not always been in accord; but our mrposc was, and is, the same, whether "the 'moontah] hus come to Mahomet" or Ma ?omet has come to the mountain. And vhen our Orangeburg neighbor suggests hut we ure laying down a platform uot our >wn, and modestly claims "a place iu the 'fight" wc make reply, freely and without eserve: The platform of TUE CHARLESTON SEWS is not intended lo be the expression of he hopes or fears thc ambition or the dc pair, of any man or clique of men. It is mended to be, and is, we believe, the ex iression of thc sincere and earnest opinions >f the voters of the State. There is a place n the fight for our Orangeburg brother. Sray, more ! There is a place for every hon? st man, for every lover of good govern nent for every hater of oflicial extravagance ind corruption, for every citizen who can isc above the name of party and strike one nighty blow for justice and equal rights. Then let us to work. Lot us, again quo ing from our Orangcburg namesake: "First woo aud win back tho confidence of he colored man, by guaranteeing a full recog? nition of his civil rights, and then free him rom the shackles of the party organizations hat enslaves his vote. Let us make the effort Vdmittlug thc great truth o; our changed con litlon, accepting these accomplishments as at east permitted by Providence, let us And a llgh and grand work before us In orr new ?ivilization. Let us do our whole duty to the ,'olored i eo. le of tne State, in their real and present position, and trust them to respond in the reciprocation of kindness and good will. Such an end may be attained by such an offert. Let us make lt, and If that falls, then.may wo, Indeed, howl over onr ruin." TJ?e Venal Congressman. A responsible gentleman residing in the district which Benjamin Franklin Whitte more misrepresents in Congress, writes to Tnn NBW? as follows: "I seo that Whittemore ls charged with sell? ing a cadet appointment. I wish to cumulate the charges. Whether he Eold them or not, I can prove that he alono, by virtue of an ar? rangement made with the delegation from this State, appointed the collector of First Collec? tion District, South Carolina, and the assessor. That with the collector lt was a condition of his appointment, that Whittemore should namo bia deputies, although thc collector was solely responsible for their acts. Whether he made merchandise of those appointments is not pos? itively known, but If he sold a cadet appoint? ment there can scarcely be a doubt that he sold thc appointments of tho deputy collectors; for in this way only can be found a reason for taking away from the principal thc right to ap-1 point bis own agents. At all events If any committee is to Investigate the purity of his character, the collector and his deputies ought to be examined, and be compelled to disclose what they know apon thc FtibJocL And lt would be weil for thc probe to go deeper still, and soe whether In all thc appointments he has made, down to tho country postmasters, he has not in fact bled thc country to fill his own pockets. I say 'bled thc country,' be? cause any member of Congress, sent lhere to represent the people, who uses his power only to fill his own pockets, ls In fact stabbing his country to thc heart, and ought to bo expelled from the position which he disgraces. It ls tho duty of every good citizen to take np the hue and cry and drive him to his den." Is tho United States Senate, on Thursday last, Senator Sawyer delivered a short but vigorous speech in opposition to tho "funda? mental conditions" contained In the House bill for thc admission of Mississippi. There was a j clear and unequivocal understanding, that if | the people of that Stato compiled with tho terms of the Kcconstractlon acts they would bo restored to their original position in the Union, and Mr. Sawyer doubted the wisdom and questioned the policy ol appending new conditions. He urged that thc new-comers be treated with cordiality and confidence, and asked whether any senator believed that the statutory provisions of Congress In regard to thc reconstructed States would be allowed to stand a 6lnglc month after "onr political oppo? nents shall regain possession of the adminis? tration of the governmcnL" At the same time he believed it was better to admit the State, even with unnecessary restrictions, than to keep her In her present situation. ?0 HCltt.
