Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO., Si. 149 East Bay, Charleston. S. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1870. SEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold at New York yesterday was weak-as low as 14>?, but closed at 15. -The New York cotton market was steady at 22Jia23c. Sales 5000 bales. -At Llverppol cotton closed flat. Uplands llXd.; Orleans il,'<d. Sales 10,000 bales. -Whittemore had a good cry in the cloak-room after the resolution of censure. -John C. Brecklnridge ls about to tako editorial charge or-ohe of the Lexington (Ky.) news? papers; -The "Fat Contributor'" says that he has made $10,000 by lecturing this winter, and would have made more If ho could only lecture and tend door at the same time. -The Postmaster-General has dealt a fatal blow at the franking abuse. He shows by official fig? ures that there passed free through the maUs, during the month of January last, matter which ought to have paid postage to the amount of $159,700. Yet these figures are made up from par? tial returns of only 451 postofficcs. There ls clear evidence that the franking privilege of each of the 293 members of Congress costs the people more than $8000-nearly twice the amount paid each member as salary. Argument cannot strengthen such figures. -A daughter of Josiah King, brother or cx Govcrnor King, of Rhode Island, now Hes dead In Stonington, Conn., yet such is the remarkable preservation of her features and complexion, and such the retention of warmth ia the body, that the best medica': men are in doubt as to whether the case is one or actual death or only temporarily suspended animation. All the ordi? nary tests ot lire and death lead to the Inference that she ls really dead, while absence or other phenomena or death leads to a counter eonciu sion. The case is considered one of the most re? markable on record. -"Joseph Jefferson (Rip Yan Winkle,) who, with Mr. John Owens (Solon Shingle) and a num? ber of other friends, has been for some time," says the New Orleans Picayune, "on a visit to the Teche country-where they have been Indulging la hunt lng excursions, which, though they 'don't pay,'In a pecuniary sense, are Immensely profita? ble os a relaxation from arduous duties-has pur? chased Orange Island, situate in the Parish or St. Marr. We are gratified to learn that Mr. Jef Jerson has identified himself with the people of th? South, and doubt not they will extend to him tho right hand of feuowship." -Misslssipppl breathes free now that military mle ls withdrawn. On Monday last E. M. Ter? mer, who has been la military oonfinerasnt at Jackson, slnee June last, on thc charge of kUilng Uentenant-Colonel Joseph G. Crane was trans? ferred ito the custody of the sheriff of Hinds Coun? ty by-an order of the Adjutant-General of the United States Army. Lieutenant WUUam At? wood;: Adjutant-General of the Fourth Military District, immediately made an affidavit before Judge Cabaness, presiding, charging Yerger with the murder of Colonel Crane on the Stn of June, 1869. Counsel lor thc defence waived an exami? nation, and Yerger was commit.et! without batu -Some months ago the moulders of the Excel? sior Iron Works, in New York, struck for au ad? vance of wages. The company secured uoa-so dcty men and discharged the strikers. The ronn? er are now in the shop afraid to go out, because the society men aro always walting outside to beat them. The employers, In order to keep them, have turned the shop into a boarding house,and thc men for several weeks have had their meals brought to them and slept Inside the shop. At night they play cards, and have been provided by the. bosses with a moderate amount of drink and everything needed. The society men are still watching tr-e shop, night aud day, and promise, the insiders a good whipping when they do come out. -Loni Shaftesbury has written a ietter to a London contemporary on the subject ot a pro posed translation of the Scriptures, under the authority or.the bishops or the English Episcopal Church.: The great objection to the proposal ls tout the ilow translation would' be received wkh Busplc??n, or openly rejected, by sects outside the Episcopal Church. Lord Shaftesbury says: "The Eng&h Bible, as altered by the bishops, will cease to be a Bible, not only or the nonconfor? mists, but of the Scotch ami Irish Presbyterian Churches; lt would cease to be tho Bible or our brethren, m the United states or America, and of every protestant speaking the English language over the entire surrace or the globe." -The'State Department has received a dispatch from Minister Motley, at London, statltlng that the British steamer Bombay collided with the Butted States steamer Oneida, ''near Yokohama. The latter went down, and i: is reported one hun? dred and twenty lives were lost. Thc Navy De? partment has n?t received particulars. The British steamer Bombay is a large mail steamship, and could easily sink tho Oneida by striking her amidships. Thc Oneida was considered one or the best sloops-of-war in the navy, and her com? modore one of the most experienced and relia? ble. She had been ordered to San Francisco, and lt is the opinion of the naval officials that she had just left Yokohama for that place when she was run into by the British mail steamship on her way to the bay? Of course this ls but surmise. She may have been anchored in the bay, and ??ruck duringa rog, or at night. If she was on her way home, there were a number or officers on leave from the squadron who were doubtless on board of her. No names of the lost or saved have yet been received. The latest dispatch says that fifty-six of the officers ami crew of the Oneida ?ere picked up by the Bombay boats.'s -The war or the blondes upon tho editor of the Chicago Times, lor his unpalatable criticisms, was remarkably vigorous, bat of short duration, the Amazons beating a hasty retreat alter an on? slaught of two minutes. An eyewitness or the entire1 *-interv'?w" says tJiat immediately after Henderson asked Mr. Storer his name, Miss Thompson ' stashed" at him with the whip, rol? l?n ed by Miss Markham; that Mr. Storey grabbed at Miss Thompson;, that Hen V:uoa then grabbed Mr. Storey, and three or four other men "pitched into" Mr. Storey on behalf of the women. Lydia was pale with excitement, and glad at what she tad done. Pauline was comparatively cool and collected, following up, ' on time," Lydia's initial blow, and blt her lip with vexation when she jtmeuibered that Slr. Storey tore her choicest thread lace collar and demoralized her head gear; she. too, iras proud ol her part in the assault. Henderson was in the worst of unhappy plights, and his appearance showed, from an ugly wound on his temple, that Storey must have had him "in chancery." though he averred that he received lt in defending Miss Thompson from a blow or the editor's cane. Thejustlce, at the trial, lt is said, chatted and cracked jokes with the bewitching beauties for a few moments, and a cordial friend of the belligerent blondc.i avowed his willingness to "pledge his watch," If necessary, to secure their release. After the bail bond was signed, the policeman conducted the party through the cor? ridor of the courthouse to a carriage In watting for them, keeping, as he said, a respectable dis? tance from his prisoners, for, "1 must confess, I was rather afraid of such handsomely-dressed ladles;" and, accompanied by the justice and other friends, the bevy drove off to the hotel, re I joicing. The Tale Told by the Census. It was expected that the State census would show many a strikibg change in the condition of South Carolina, but there were few who thought that the result would be an actual deer cate in the total population of \ the State. We were prepared for the shift? ing of the negroes towards the coast, and made allowance for emigration, and the excessive *ality of war, and yet it is a startling fact that the total population of the State should be 42,609 les3 in 1870 than it was in 1S60. This is the tale told by the State censu3 now completed and published. The population of South Carolina, at the two periods, may be divided as follows: Decrease 18*0. in 0 years. 274.001 10,427 3S6,1S8 2G.182 1S60. Whites.291,388 Colored.412,320 Total.703,708 061,099 42,609 The natural increase in the white race has been absorbed by the casualties of war and by emigration, and the increase of the ne? groes has been neutralized by the excessive mortality consequent upon their sadden emancipation and poverty-stricken condi? tion. The war itself touched the colored people very lightly, but since it3 close they have died so rapidly that tbeir aggregate number is steadily decreasing. It is not hard to see that at this rate there would soon be an end to a colored majority in South Carolina, but greater care and more provi? dent habits might protract their preponder? ance for an indefinite time, if it were not certain that the white race will be supple? mented and strengthened by foreign immi? gration. The total population of the State by coun I tics, with the increase and decrease in each, I is shown in the following table: TABLE NO. 1.-TOTAL POPULATION-WHITE AND fOLORED. Abbeville. Anderson....

This, we conceive, sets at rest the popular belief that the colored people are moving coastward. Of this the census gives no indication. Charleston (including Charles? ton City) and Richland (including Columbia) have both, naturally enough, increased; but Barnwell, Beaufort, Colleton and George? town, where the gain was expected to be, all show a decrease. This confirms our own opiuion, that the local attachments of the colored people are hard to overcome, and that no general migration to oar seacoast is to be expected. They may, and probably will, gradually move toward the Gulf, but there is no sufficient attraction in the Caro? lina low-country to induce the negroes to move there in any considerable number. It ia proper to state that there is a alight discrepancy between the tabular statement published yesterday and the condensed state? ments printed to-day. The error is not ours, and we do not desire to make the figures agree by an arbitrary addition or subtraction. East Bay Arith? Onr commercial contemporary, in com? menting upon the census returns printed in its issue of Wednesday, makes an awkward blunder. It made up its venerable mind that the City of Charleston is too large a place to be included within the limit3 of "Charleston County," and, in order to find the population of "Charleston County, in? cluding the city," it adds the population of Charleston City to the population of Charles? ton County. This "seeing double" causes the statistician of our estimable neighbor to report the population of Charleston County at 135,089, against 70,100 in 1860. The er? ror goes further still, for it leads our contem? porary to the conclusion that the aggregate population of the State has increased during tue last ten years, while the fact is that there is a decrease o? over forty thousand. Figures are awkward things to handle, and if the Courier still dreams that there ia in Charleston County a population of eighty one thousand, over and above the population of the City of Charleston, we beg leave to re? fer its chief calculator to the regiatration of 1868 and the vote at the last Presidential elections. The registrationigave Charleston County (including the city) 20,144, voters, equal to a population of about 80,000, and at the Presidential elections the vote was 17,452, or equal to a population of about 70,000. These agree thoroughly with our statement that the population is now 81,000. But our arithmetical neighbor insists that 135,089 is the correct number of inhabitants, which would give over 33,000 votera. Now, what became of the 13,000 voters who, ac? cording to this calculation, did not register, and the 16,000 who did not vote ? The East Bay Arithmetician has nodded or been mis? informed-"which evor you like3, my little "dears; you pays yer money and yer takes yer choice." OXE of the Democratic representatives protested against tho passage of the "Phos "phate Monopoly" bill because "it has been "made a boast upon the floor, and is publicly "known, that thousands of dollars have been "spent to secure the passage of the?bill." This agrees with the current rumor that sixty thousand dollars in cash was paid for passing the bill over*' the veto, a notorious lobby member holding and paying out the funds. A FULL abstract of the bold and able speech of Senator Leslie, exposing some of the official iniquities of "the party," will be f/mnd in our Columbia letter. tost ano ioan?.
