Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay. Charleston. S. C. TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1870. NE IFS OE TUE DA.T. -Gold closed dull at 1154. -In New York cotton closed quite heavy at S4?ic . In Liverpool yesterday cotton closed steady; uplands ll.yd;Orleans llJ?all>?d. . -The President on Saturday signed the Disa? bility bili, which removes disabilities from about SOOO persons in Virginia and other States. This ls the bill originally passed by thc Senate about a month ago, amended by the House about ten days ago, and passed, as amended, by the Senate last Thursday. -The hotel-keepers or the I'nitcd States are taking concerted action to obtain from Congress the repeal of that pat t of thc internal revenue laws which Imposes a license tax, rated at Ave per cent, on the rent or the hotel, lt is asserted that the revenue taxes paid by hotel-keepers ure seven and a hair times greater than those paid by merchants on the same amount or capital, and the effect or the five per cent, tax on rentals does not accord with the Intention of Congress. -General Quesada, the leader of the Cuban army, arrived In Savannah on Saturday morning from St. Augustine, by the l0:-">0 Gulf train, and departed the same evening ror Washington, with his staff officers, six tn number. The General is on business connected with the cause In which he is engaged. He represents the Cubans as 20,000 strong, but needing arms, which he will doubt? less obtain and forward to them. General Quesa? da ls in excellent health, aLd spoke hoperully or the issue or the struggle in Cuba. He says the late engagements have all resulted advantageous? ly to the patriots, who will conquer their Indepen? dence, whether aided or not. -The commissioner or Internal revenue has, In reply to inquiries made by assessors, informed them that under subdivision seven of the annual return, entitled "Amount actually paid ror rent of homestead," the amount actually paid ror roora rent ls deductible; but no deduction should be al? lowed ror rent or furniture, care or rooms, or ror rael or lights used. Where persons occupy a room or rooms In a hotel or boarding-house which con? stitutes their home, and pay ror board and rooms a stipulated sum per month or quarter, they Should be allowed to dftrinct from rliolr Incnmo BO mneh or said sum as ls properly attributable to the rent of rooms, unfurnished. It is for tho as? sessor to determine, rrom the best inrormatlon he can obtain, what proportion or thc amount paid was considered payment ror the room only. Por sons in making their returns will be governed ac? cordingly. -We have already noticed the declension or General Reynolds or a Texas senatorship. Since then the text or his letter declining the "use or bis name" has been published. The following portion presents in a nutshell the precise point in the ease of General Ames. No doubt Reynolds has thns taken the proper view or the law and the common sense and the decency involved in the matter: "I have, to be sure," he says, "resid? ed m the State, with trifling Intervals, more than three years, but this residence has been as an officer ol the army, charged, in addition to thc . ordinary duties of my profession, with the recon 8truction laws of Congress. Nothing but thc ex lstenceof an unprecedented emergency could war? rant the government iu placing in the hands ot a single Individual the vast power entrusted by these laws to a district commander. I doubt whether a -residence under such conditions con? stitutes an inhabitant or thc State in the sense in which this phrase is used In the Constitution or the United States." -The Elevated Railway in Greenwich street, New York, ls now completed for its entire length, from the Battery to Thirtieth street. The motive power on this road is stationary and consists of seven eugines, each with two oscillating cylin? ders, nine inches in diameter and fourteen inch stroke, and of thirty horse power. These en? gines are situated in vaults under tho sidewalk, and are placed at Intervals along the line. The engine for each division turns a driving wheel, which propels an endless rope passing round a cylinder at the other extremity of the section. Attached to this rope at dlstauces or one hundred and fifty feet, are small trucks with diminutive wheels, which run on a wooden track underneath and between the main track. Tuese trucks are armed with a small slot, to and from which the passenger cars can be attached ana detached by a lever in front, under the rontro* of the conduc? tor. The passenger cars run on eight wheels, and are built on a framework, protected by ellip? tic springs from the sudden jar or the rope when the connection is made with the truck. The wheels or the car arc or wood, with iron tyres, and the motion ls nearly noiseless. When lt ls desired to start thc car. the conductor moves thc lever, which ls caught by the flrst truck, and the car ls carried along until thc lever ls again de? tached and the break applied to the axles. -The New York correspondent of the Boston Advertiser draws aside the curtain and gives us a glimpse behind the scenes in the Woman's Suf? frage movement, which he assures us is conduct? ed "with the utmost vigor, but lt seems with rather questionable means." The way ia which the leaders prosecute those women who have the courage to be on some points heterodox ls he assures us, ?a caution,'- and ls likely to d? their canseseriuni injury with lovers of fair play He relates au instance of a lady lecturing on Charlotte Bronte, who gave great offence by pro? claiming "Herc was one woman who had nobly achieved success without the ballot." A party ? eoS,^ **? upon her and askeu her to erase the statement, on her refusal the* declared? that they would m???^Z hot for her, and began to prosecute heVin he most annoying way (thc posters which she had pat up announcing her lecture were torn down by some unknown hand," Ac. Ac.) They then we are told, attended her lecture and tried to nlss the obnoxious words, bat a storm of applause drowned their etlorts. This has caused, he adds a"wondrous fluttering an 1 renewed prosecutions and endeavors" to drive thc courageous little lady from the city. -Wall street has experienced another commo? tion in gold, vividly recalling thc tempestuous scenes whu-h were enacted in September. The Gold Room excitement on Thursday was feverish? ly animated. At the opening the apartment was densely crowded with operators, and thc gallery was Ulled to its ntmost capacity with cager spec tators, earnestly watching the noisy dealers, whose shouts at times made the dingy windows rattle in their casements. The first quotation, at IO o'clock in the morning, wa3 117?i. The price did not change materially until about a quarter past ll, when it dropped to 717. By this time the bulls, who had nervously wa oed the yellow treas? ure steadily sink in two days from 119, with little prospect of rallying, lost all hope or tossing lt up again, and immediately and suddenly withdrew their horns. The bears had it all their own way, and before 3 o'clock thc price dropped down to 116>i-the lowest figure that had yet been reached since September, 1SG2. Thc stock market was also a trifle sensational, a change having taken place In the relative values of gov? ernment bonds and gold, thc sixes of 1S81 selling at a premium In specie, being quoted at 117^ to 117y. when gold was at 116"?. At the same time thc'five-twenty bouds ol 1862 sold in London at 90, the highest figure ever reached there by them, and within about one per cent, or par in gold. Congratulations were heard on every hand among the solid and steady business men or Wall street, who anticipate very satisfactory results from this marked approach of thc national credit to its pro? per status. A Conference of the Press. All the anti-Radical papera of the State are agreed upon the main points of the policy which shall bc followed in the fall elections, and the differences of opinion which clo exist can, we believe, be easily reconciled if an opportunity be had of freely discussing the political situation. We, therefore, heartily approve of the proposition of the Columbia Guardian, that a convention be held of the editors of all the anti-Radical or Opposition papers in the State, and join with our con? temporary the Courier in the expression if the confident belief that such a conven? tion would do more towards promoting unity and concert of action than any other :ourse that could be devised. The convention of the people may, with tdvantage, be postponed ; but we should be ;lad to see a convention of the anti-Eadi ;al press held without delay. The Reaction. Through those thick mists and clouds of rrejudice that have bewildered the Northern nind, ever since the war came to an end, the ight begins to break. The patient people who lave waited for reconstruction year after rear-who have been told that it would be ?ffected when Andy Johnson had been dis )laced, or when such or such an, amendment lad been passed, or when the Ku-KJuxes jad boon intimidated, or when General Grant lad been elected, or when Yankees who had jone a-stuniping at the South joined hands vlth their Northern brethren in Congress, ire now beginning to fear that it will not lake place until the skies drop larks or the noon turns to green cheese. They are bo rinning to understand that reconstruction s a euphemism for obstruction and destruc lon. They find that Radicalism has no ob ective point, and offirs no resting place. !ts progress is like Satan's fall, "from deep 'to deep." Thoughtful men have not forgotten how Georgia, notwithstanding her compliance ?vitli the terms Imposed upon her, has been -emanded to a worse than territorial condi? tion. And they now observe that the Con? gressional leaders claim that a like inter Terence may take place in any State. Con? sistently enough 1 For if the right to "guar? antee a republican form of government" tuthorlzes the appointment of a dictator to :ontroI the Legislature of Georgia, it au? thorizes the quartering of a garrison in the State House of New York. If Congress has me right to decimate and Radicalize a Dem? ocratic Legislature to the South of Mason's ind Dixon's Line, it may exercise a similar control on the other side of that now obso ete sectional boundary. In referring to the Georgia case, Mr. Bird, )f New Jersey, recently expressed a convie lion which deepens in the Northern mind, ?uch sentiments a3 he uttered have boon leretoforc denounced as disloyal. The time s coming when they will be esteemed as the listinguishing badge of American patriots, ind when all wise, pure men will see that hey relate to the salvation of tho country. 3uid Afr. Bird: "If I understand the temper 'of thc people, this strange, unnatural and 'outrageous interference with the rights of 'a free people will never be accepted by 'those who sincerely love a constitutional 'form of government houestly and faithfully 'administered. You may append this change 'to the constitution, but the people of many 'States will neither respect nor obey it. It 'will bc denounced as illegitimate, and those 'who stand as its sponsors to-day will in the 'hour of its peril flee from its vindication. It 'will be ignored and resisted. Great and 'sovereign States will not yield to an intole 'rablo degradation at the dictate of force, 'whether it be aimed at them through a 'Congressional majority directly or through 'the action or a far off State. * * * 'The end is not yet. This system of recon? struction is a monster which will create 'storm, tempest and disorder, until the peo 'ple, by the ballot or otherwise, overthrow 'the authors. There is no safety from des 'potism but in preparation to reject this 'flagrant wrong; and let the issue come. If 'we save ourselves and this great political .inheritance, we must do it through thc just 'and fearless vindication of those rights by 'some so long despised and rejected-the 'rights of thc States." These arc manly and noble words. They ntlicate to the citizens of every State the mth of political safety. The Radicals must ie overthrown, or thc commonwealth is uined. In our own case the exigency is so jreat that we feel called upon to make every aerifico not inconsistent with principle and lonor, for the purpose of defeatiug the titled hieves who are wasting the resources, pil aging thc treasury, anti staining the hitherto potless fame of South Carolina. lu the lame of magnanimity-yea, in the name of ?bert)-, we have been oppressed and phil? tered. We have had felons assigned to us s magistrates, as representatives, as Con fressmen. And now the dark and terrible hadow that has eclipsed the glory of our leroic States begins to move Northward, rhe apprehension of danger creates friends br us among our enemies. And wc, if thc Radicals remain iu power, have nothing to ixpect but new exactions, new oppressions md new villanies-beggars on horseback, elons in charge or thc public purse ?ind the ?word of the State, armed mercenaries rav igmgliko wolves, and at their owu fierce vulcusiing into fetters and dungeons thc noblest of the land. While the North is awaking, let us also read aright the aus? pices rf the present and forecast the future. Lei- us resolve to command that future-in? spired by hope and generous grief and lofty indignation, and cheerfully paying whatever price U needed to redeem us from oppression and dishonor. Playing at Government. The want of homogeneity in the so-called Constitutional party in thtf'FreBch Chambers has already exposed M. Ollivier and his col? leagues to serious inconvenience. Faithful to the general ideas of the fragments of par? ties which he represents, the French premier introduced a proposition to abandon the miserable system of official candidatures, which has stood so long in the way of a free expression of the wishes of the people. In this M. Ollivier should certainly have had the hearty support of the Liberal and Radi? cal members; but no sooner had the Cham? ber acquainted itself with the question than the Right, or Conservative wmg, moved the order of the day in support of the old official system. And this was followed by a decla? ration from the Left, or Liberals, that they would support the Ministry because they were pledged to electoral freedom. And for no other reason. Nor do they seem to have acted up to their grudging pledge; for when the question was taken the motion of the Right was adopted by a large majority. This is considered equal to a vote of want of confidence in the Ministry, and it is not surprising that the Emperor should be dis? satisfied with his Cabinet, "inconsequence of its inability to recoucile conflicting parties. " There is not, at this time, any body of men large enough and strong enough to sus? tain a MijjUtry which shall represent, and join togeU -r, the two extremes of Personal Absolutism and Parliamentary Government There ia a strong Radical party which de? mands a Republic. There is an enormously strong Imperialist party, backed by the Con? servatives in the cities and towns, which demands order, peace and security, and be? lieves that these can best be had while Na? poleon rules in name as well as fact There is no third party, and M. Ollivier cannot stand for an hour of his own force and power. Thc coalition which sustains him to-day may desert him to-morrow. He and his col? leagues bear the whole responsibility and have none of the rewards of success. And at this time current events point to a speedy upsetting of the brand new Parliamentary Government and a return to the familiar Imperialism which usc has made endurable, and under which France and the French have prospered beyond all expectation. THE Walhalla Courier says that thc taxes collected in Oconee County amount to twenty-eight thousand six hundred dollars in cash, with a delinquent list sufficient to foot up a sum total of thirty thousand dol? lars. In 1859 thc State tax for Pickens Dis? trict, (Oconee and Pickens Counties,) was $5908. The real and personal property of the two counties are about equal in value, giving $3000 as the old State tax for what is now Oconee. If we add 50 per cent, for county tax, wo have thc tax of Oconee for 1859 at $4500, against $30,000 in 1869. The people of Oconee should be ripe for the Citi? zen's Party. SENATOR LESI.IR talks sense occasionally. In the Senate, on Saturday, he said t hat the present session of the -Legislature had al? ready cost $200,000, and that if thia were New York, where legislators are held to a strict responsibility for their conduct, not one of the honorable senators would ever sit in that honorable body again. And more to the like effect, and as true as truth. SENATOR LESLIE will not. tell why he re? signed the post of Land Commissioner, and there is something wrong somewhere. If Mr. Leslio is guilty of improper conduct, let tho State know it; but if he is the scapegoat of the sins of others, he should not suffer in silence. Who will bring light out of all this darkness ? SENATOR NASH, colored, has a very poor opinion of the land commission, although ho ?3 one of its agents, and says it is ru? mored that there had been expended just one hundred thousand dollars more Utan was appropriated. Pretty good for one year! Current Litern turi-. TUE RURAL CAROLINIAN. Thc March number of the /?rural Carolinian. now publishing, is even an improvement upon its predecessors, In thc variety of its contents and the number of Its illustrations, to which latter particular attention is now given. In the agricultural department Colonel D. Wyall Aiken treats of "Sorghum and its Uses," while Low Middling discusses thc Preparation of Land for Colton, and General Hammond gives some valuable hinLs about fertilizers. Then follow some extracts from the lecture of Pro? fessor Shepard on Sources of Plant-Food, with papers on Sisal Hemp for Florida, aud Rice Culture on River Lands, and the Value of Sci? ence to the Farmer-this last thc conclusion of an address by that veteran agriculturist, Daniel Lee, M. D. There are also articles on thc Pineapple, (Illustrated,) on Evergreen .Grass, and on the Castor Bean and Bene Seed. In thc horticultural department are articles on thc Walter Grape, (illustrated.) on the Straw ber.y, (Illustrated,) and ou the Beet. The other articles in this aud the poultry and cook? ing departments arc too numerous to be named, and as valuable as they are numerous. The report of Mr. J. M. Crawford, of 39G0 pounds of cotlon raised on one acre of poor land, is highly interesting, and an utilitarian correspondent suggests a new brauch of indus? try for the South, i. e. frogs ! One correspon? dent suggests to thc planters of Beaufort that if they have land to give away they can get good citizens in their own State. This is worth looking into. First let us make the best of our own people, and next strength en them and ourselves by immigration. The plans of Major Lee for dwelling houses are well worth con? sidering and looking at, as are the lists of pre? miums of the Columbia Fair and what is prom? ised for thc Slate Institute Fair. The whole number is a flue one-perhaps the best yet issued. (Eaucatioiml. INSTRUCTION IN MUSIC .-MRS. CltVAN will give instruction on piano to a limited number of pupils.
