Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay. Charleston. S. C. WEDNESDAY, MASCH 23, 1870. NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold at Now York, yesterday, ^closed at -The New York cotton market was lower at 23c; sales 2200 bales. -At Liverpool cotton was quiet: uplands Iii, Orleans ll|d; sales 10.000 bales. fl -Harper's Ferry is tobe converted into a watering place, and a mammoth hotel is to bc built there. -Hamlet was tall, blonde and attired in chain armor, according to an authentic por? trait in Copenhagen. -A Missourian who lest his wife by a rail? road accident, asks $30.000 damages. Thc company offer $2000. -Carlotta PattPwlll go to California in May, and in the fall she intends to make a profes? sional visit to South America. -The Richmond Whig fears the new Chi? nese laborers won't spend much money, they not possessing the negroes' love for circuses. -New Orleans pickpockets send up a host of India rubber balloons, and while the crowd gazes heavenward, go through their pockets -A son of General Santa Anna is imitating his father by getting up revolutions in Mexico, and in imitation of his father, has got himself defeated and in disgrace. -Mr. Gillian C. Verplanck, a well known author, politician and philanthropist, died at his residence in New York last week, in tho eighty-fourth year of his age. -Millard Fillmore. William G. Fargo and other prominent citizens of Buffalo, have signed a protest against repealing the law for the prevention of cruelty to animals. -The reason Beecher declined to receive ?$20,000 instead of $12,000 salary per annum from Plymouth Church, was that his congrega? tion, in the event of accepting, wonk! put a ?stop to his lectures, newspaper and novel writing. -The Havana Prenza and Diario intimate that IX the American government would send commissioners there they are positive that such commissioners would disprove the asser? tions lately made by Quesada about the condi? tion ot the rebellion and other matters, and America would discard forever the question of the recognition of belligerent right to the In? surgents. -A Wyoming Jury, composed of equal mun 'bers of men and women, has been locked up for four nights and days In order to force aa agreement. A question of some interest is as to how the husbands of these women like their being locked up with other men. The thing may be fun for the male Jurors, and, pos? sibly, the icmale ones,' but it can't be very funny for the relatives of the latter, and some _re talking of new causes for divorce. -The ink-erasive forgeries that have been perpetrated in New York within a few days have been quite extensive, and lt ls rumored that the successful forger has bagged and es? caped with over a hundred thousand dollars. The individuals and banks that have been bit? ten are very reticent, however, and refuse to give any particulars about their losses. There really seems to be no end to the frauds upon business men now-a-days, each moro Ingeni? ous than tho last, bnt so dissimilar that the most careful and skilful arc entrapped before they have even the suspicion of danger. -In Florida there aro many lakes which have holes In the bottom and underground communication, so that they will sometimes shrink away to a mere ctiptul, leaving many square miles of surface uncovered, and then again fill np from below and spread out ever their former area. Some of them have outlets in the ocean lar from shore, bursting up a per petnal spring of fresh water in the very midst of the briny saltness of the sea. In times ot low water, during a long, exhaustive dry sea? son, men have gone underground in one of these subterranean rivers, from lake to lake, a distance of eight miles. -The women set JO. to be in earnest with their progressive Ideas, as the following will show: Mrs. Stanton. Miss Anthony and Miss Dickinson are lecturing to crowded audiences all over the country, Caroline Hooper, colored, is lecturing in South Carolina on "The Work Before Us;" women have sat on a grand Jury in Wyoming Territory; a woman has been ad? mitted to the bar in Chicago; three others are studying law nnd one medicine in Michigan; women are successful practicing physicians In almost every city in the country; the anniver? sary of the National Woman's Suffrage asso? ciation is to be held in New York on the 11th of May. -Thc Macon (Ga.) Journal and Messenger says that, with one exception, there is not a railroad in Georgia that has been in actual op? eration throughout Its whole line for three years past, that has not earned and paid out to Its stockholders during that time a dividend, on an avenge, of eight per cent. Last year the divideuds ot all the (Jeorgia roads, with the exception above referred to, ranged from eight to ten per cent, and to-day their stock is held at from $93 to S120 a share. The West? ern and Atlantic Railroad, extending from At? lanta to Chattanooga, the property of tho State, has been paying into the Georgia treas? ury monthly, for the past two years up to last .October, from $25,000 to $30,000. -The events in the cotton trade have been .unusually important during the past week. The New York- Express says : 'The bears in ..the Liverpool market became frightened, not? withstanding tho Increased arrival of Ameri. .can cotton and the large amount afloat for England, and commenced to cover their short contracts on a large scale. This started the Liverpool market on the upward turn, and our market here followed rapidly in the wake of Liverpool. The weak sellers of cotton in the New York market beoame alarmed at the as? pect of affairs in Liverpool, and nishcd in to cover their shorts, which assisted a sharp ad? vance in prices here. Low middlings have ad? vanced from 204, on the spot, to 22*, and mid? dlings from 214 to 23|. For future delivery, low middlings have advanced from 19* to 23 for all the months to the close of thc cotton year. The groat rise in cotton duriog the week has been brought about entirely by the bears, who could not sell cotton enough at thc lowest point, and have just awoke to the fact that they sold too much. Thc receipts o? cotton for the week were 44,866 balc3 at all the ports, against C6,726 bales last week, and 73,19" bales the previous week. The total receipts since January 1st, 1869, to date are 2,303,872 bales, against 1,771,554 last year. This shows the rapidity with which cotton has been marketed. The exports for thc expired term of the cotton year are 1,402,940 bales, against 926,496 bales last year. The stock in all the ports is 499,197 bales, against 407,903 bales last year. Thc amount afloat for Great Britain is 320,000 bales, against 169,000 bales last year. Secret Political Societies. General Breckinridge has recently made one of those sharp, sententious speeches which live in contemporary history, and in the recollection of thc people. He has de? nounced the Ku-Klux-Klan as idiots or vil? lains. This is saying, in a rough way, that the members of this organization, if there is any sue.: association ou a large scale at all, are either indifferent to or hostile to the wel fare of the Southern State3. Now, while we agree with the distinguish? ed statesman in regard to the inexpediency of such an organization, we must confess that we have doubts whether any such so? ciety really exists. Here and there, in times of local excitement, and for the redress of local grievances, there has been an outcrop? ping of disguised horsemen with weird en? signs; but these have been the sporadic ex? hibitions of a disease that has assailed the body politic. At the North a vigilance com? mittee appears without a disguise, because there is no martial law there. At the South, the Ku-Klux-Klan is a revolt against Con? gressional interference with municipal affairs and State legislation. But the time for all such abnormal resorts has come to an end. We need no Union Leagues on the one hand, and no Ku-Klux Klans on the other, to dispute "file control of the State. Both these organizations should be abrogated, and the CITIZENS of South Car? olina, of whatever color, should unite in as? serting their right to rule their own State, and in inviting the needy political adven? turer, of whatever color, to go back home. We do not care to review the past history of those who have obtained, or are now assert? ing, the right to rule over our State. Some of them, liko Judge Carpenter and Senator Sawyer, have done us good service, and demand a kindly consideration for their regard to the welfare of the State. Others, like Whittemore and Bowen, are hanging themselves with their length of rope. But | hereafter it is manifestly the policy of the 1 CITIZENS' PARTY to adopt, as one ct their car- ? dinal principles, the rule that none should rulo South Carolina but resident CITIZENS who have joined their fate with ours, and, . by their habit and worth, have proved them- , 3elve3 thoroughly identified with the solid ( interests of the State. f And if this be so, then associations found- 1 3d upon caste hatreds are inexpedient. The : white people of the State must seek to con? ciliate, not to terrify, the colored people. It - ioes not become the children of thc day to walk in rhe night-the representatives of ' fair and honest principles to mask them- 1 selves from the public view and to carry Guy Fawkes' lantern. Two Great Books. The times are gone by when the Southern- 1 er of literary tastes could afford to indulge to ! the full hts fondness for books; and in tilling his shelves, now-a-days, he must needs cast j about him with care for such volumes as will, ? in a measure, serve in the stead of thc priv? ate library that is no longer within his reach, j We have before us two works from the teem- s ing presses of Lippincott & Co., which de- ? serve a cordial reception from the reading ! public everywhere, but which for Hie reason ; we have given above, will be especially wel? comed iu thc South. Both are issued in serial i parts, and at prices that are sure to make . them popular treasuries of useful informa? tion in every family. ! The first is a revised and improved reissue j of Chambers' Encyclopoedia, or Dictionary of ' Universal Knowledge for the People. This j work has already achieved thc reputation of j being the most readable and complete of all : the Encyclopedias of our day. Edited on the general plan of the German Conversa- ; tions-Zexicon, it abounds iu featnre3 not possessed by that elaborate and useful work, s While its value, ns a reference, is fully lire- . served, there are lew of its pages that the casual reader will not find instructive and ' entertaining as well. The present edition is a ; mar-el of typographical excellence, and is filled with admirably executed maps and < illustrations. The Universal Pronouncing Dictionary of Biography and Mythology, is a work which ? will lill a great want in our lexicographic j literature. The aim of its editor is ambi- 1 tious, being no less than to supply the most j scholarly and complete biographical diction- ] ary ever published, giving in each case thc 1 authorized spelliugand pronunciation of the : name. Especial attention has been given to the department of mythology, embracing '. the personages, not only of the Classic, but of the Norse and Hindoo Legends. J The sole agency in Charleston for these i two works, is at Fogartie's Book Depot, in ? the bend of King street, where the public . are invited to call and examine specimen i copies. ' Thc Drat h of Judge Dawkins. The death of Judge Dawkins, of Union, innounced in THE NEWS of yesterday, took [ jlacc on Saturday night at ll o'clock. Judge ': Dawkins represented Union District in the Legislature for many years, and, before the * war, was elected Circuit Judge. This high position he filled with ability and iutegrity, a in til he was displaced in the course of jj Congressional reconstruction. He then re- " sumed the practice of his profession, which ie followed until his death. Judge Dawkins * ?vasajudge of the old school, pure and up- r ?ight in his ofneial conduct, and kindly and - jenial in ali-his social relations. Up the Wrong Tree. Jamea C. Beaty, member of the L?gisla? ture from Horry County, publishes a card in the last number of the Horry News, in reply to certain allegations, or insinuations rather, of the Marion Star. Tie says, in substance, that he is alluded to by the Star in its reference to the "Forty Thieves," that he did not re? ceive any bribe, and that he voted for the Phosphate bill because of his belief that it would tend to develop the resources of the State. Mr. Boaty is a man of unimpeacha? ble integrity, and his broad denial sets at rest this whole vexed question. Who is the next anti-Radical member of the Legisla? ture to be charged with corruption ? RcTiews. THE EARLIER YEARS OF OUR LORO'S LIFE ON EARTH. By the Rev. Wm. Hanna, D. D., L.L.D. New York : Robert Carter & Bros. Charleston: Holmes' Book House. Price $1 50. While wc cannot agree with thc Edinburgh Witness in assigning Dr. Hanna's series on our Lord's life to the class of prose poems,-nay, while on the contrary, we are constrained to say that nc description whatever could have been more ill-judged and unfortunate-wc are glad to fiucl lt something much better. It is an interesting, thoughtful, devout commen? tary upon the most memorable of all biogra? phies. The author did not need to trick out his great subject with the rhetorical arts and fanciful conceits of Jeremy Taylor. He has treated lt reverently, and yet in a straightfor? ward and manly way; and precisely on this account has made a valuable contribution to current theological literature. The work is popular, exhibiting the results rather than the processes of criticism. The present volume traces the evangelic history from the Annun? ciation to the Lord's first circuit in Galilee. Wc cordially commend it to the religious public. REMOVING MOUNTAINS-Life Lessons from the Gospels. By John S. Hart. New York : "Robert Carter & Bros. Charlestou : Holmes' Book House. Price $1 25. This volume resembles the one we have just noticed In various particulars. It is cheap, beautifully executed and altogether popular. We are far from meaning by this last epithet that it is either lacking in literary finish or in vigor of thought On the contrary, the au? thor writes with a practised pen, and deals with some of thc most Important subjects now agitating the religious world-such as the man? agement of Sunday schools, thc relation of | sectarianism to the public schools, the doctrine of rewards and of resurrection, the use of the creed, charity for the heterodox, and thc like. But every subject ls discussed discreetly and with an off-hand and engaging simplicity. The fifty-two chapters, with their appropriate texts, can be used as a family preacher for thc Sab? baths of a year. THE EUPHEMIAS LITERART SOCIETT OF ERSKINE COLLEGE, Due West, S. C. By J. O'B. Low? ry. Charleston: Walker, Evans & Cogs? well. This is a short and gracefully written sketch of the history of the Euphemian Literary So? ciety, embracing some account of its organiza? tion and growth, and including tho names of the founders and of the alumni from 1842 to I860. Thc little pamphlet will doubtless be lound highly Interesting by the Euphemians ind their friends. FERGUS MORTON, the Story of a Scottish Boy. By J. R.Macduff,D.D. Holmes' Book House.
