Address RIORDAN, DAWSON 4 CO., No. l4W3ast Bay, Charleston, S. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1870. NEWS OF THE DAT. ? * - "7old at New York yesterday closed at 12?. -The New York cotton market closed steady at 22jc; sales 2500 bales. -Cotton closed dull at Liverpool at Hall jd. -The delegate in Congress from Arizona has signified his intention of appointing an Indian' to a West Point cadetship. -An Ohio murderer, who escaped convic? tion on the plea of insanity, now refuses to pay his lawyers for the same reason. -Many of the New York churches decline to renew the engagements for choir singers at the high prices paid last year. -The,Wyoming delegate to Congress, in order to carry out the female suffrage laws of his Territory, intends to send a young lady cadet to West Point. -Thc Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel reports that eighty thousand pai'M'i'Jscs hare been shipped alivo from that vicinity to New York during the season, Hie price being twenty cents a pair, although a few sold as high as fifty cents. -Thc papers say that carloads of brush are being taken lo Sandy Hook to be placed on the beach, in order to, form sand-bars which will prevent the sea disturbing thc railroad track. From which we infer that brush is of mora effect than Mrs. Par ting to n's broom, -The sheriff of the City of Richmond has levied on all thc fire apparatus ot thc city, in? cluding the steam fire engines, hose carriages and hook ajid ladder truck, and advertises them for sale at auction, to satisfy executions . in his hands in favor of parties whose liquor was destroyed in 1853 on the evacuation of the city. -Henry Bessemer, the inventor of the stceL, process, has^pwtented a plan for the preven? tion of sea-sickness. By the application of the principle upon which a Bhlp's compasses are suspended, he p-ovldes a room which will be perfectly free from the rolling or pitching motion of the vesse?. A working model, which has been already constructed, 6hows the simplicity and efficacy of the plan. -The Selma (Alabama) Times reports that lhere are now greater calls by planters upon commission merchants for advances than have been made since the war, and even before the war. It laments this tact, and also that the advances are asked by the planters to enable them to increase their cotton planting opera? tions to the neglect of all other crops, when they ought to plant corn. -The firemen of Mobile have for many years made the 9th of April a gala day, and the ladles having charge of the orphans ol the Confederate dead also appeal to the citizens to aid them on that day by attending a fair, held for the purpose of raising money to feed and clothe these children. It was on the 9th of April that General Lee surrendered his army to General Grant. -Private letters from Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, now in Rome, express wonder at the mountains of falsehood mixed with grains of truth that reach the press, both Catholic and ncn-Cathollc, concerning the doings of thc great council. He expresses surprise that the correspondents at Rome should even obtain the modicum of truth contained in their re? ports, and states that the officiai report of the council will not bo completed for years, not probably till very many of those who partici? pated in Its sessions shall have gone to their long home. The bishop intimates that the question of infallibility has uot yet been of? ficially considered before thc council. -The bark Benefactress, which recently arrived at San Francisco from Yokohama, Japan, made thc passage in twenty-six days, one of the quickest passages, it ls asserted, ever made between the ports. The Benefac factress brought a cargo of 11,000 packages of Japanese tea, which were at once forwarded to New York by the Pacific Railroad. This, it te stated, is the first cargo of tea ever shipped over the Pacific Railroad. As tea is affected hy? the heat generated in the hold of the vessel during the long voyage around the capes, it is beUeved that this Important article of food can bc brought to the United States in a better con? dition by the overland route. Since the arrival ofthe Benefactress, the steamer Chlua, from Yokohama, is reported at San Francisco, with a cargo including 10,890 packages of tea and 165 bales of silk, of which 5730 packages of tea and 4S bales of silk are to be shipped to Atlantic ports by way ofthe Pacific Railroad. -A report was read before the American Colonization Society, in New York on Sunday showing that from the first departure of col? ored men from this country for Liberia, who were shipped at New York in 1820, the tide of Immigration increased every year until up to the present date the number of colonists land? ed on its shores amounted to 20,000 freedmen and unfortunates rescued from the captured slave-traders by our war vessels. During the last four years 2400 persons have been sent thither, and nearly twice as many applications were made by those desirous of returniiv to ? the land of their fathers. Tue population of Liberia amounts to nearly G00.000, all doin? well, enjoying the rights and privileges of ? republic whose constitution is framed after that of the United States. These colored peo? ple have a college with thirty-three students at present, and there are fifty churches in the country. Now thc society holds nine hundred applications for passage to the new land; aud although it owns a ship and a building in Wash? ington, yet needs $50,000 to carry on the work of colonizing Africa with Intelligent negroes. -The horrors at Long Branch during the se? vere storm of Wednesday last were fearful. This famous beach presented many scenes of thrilling interest. Several vessels making for i Sandy Hook were caught by the gale, whi blew with hurricane violence, and comped to pot in shore as speedily as possible, large schooner from Portland was thus cc nered, and steered for the beach imm?diat* in front ofthe hotel of so much summ gaiety, the Stetson. The surf was thunder!: on tbe beach in three serried lines, the foai topped wall of water rearing itself lo a heig of at least eighteen feet. The giant wav broke over the stranded vessel, and t crew were in imminent danger of freezing death. When, however, thc storm subside the drenched men were carried to a liospil hie farm-house, where they were fully i stored. Another schooner went asho near the Old Ocean House, and her crew six men were all lost. Ono man climbed the ri ging6 to escape the furious pelting ofthe wari but was drenched with the torrents ofspr? and became stiffened like a wooden bloc His frozen fingers were broken from tin grasp, and thc inanimate mass of icy huma ity would have fallen on deck, but his foot w caught in the rigging, suspending him he downward. As the shrieking demons of t storm hurtled the unconscious body Lo and fi a broken spar, riding on thc angry tidft, sns ped the head from the trunk, and it fell in the angry sea. Two pilot boals went aehoi the schooners Joseph Long and Jame6 Hoyt struck on thc beach, and are both toi wrecks. The men on shore were powerless help the unfortunate seamen, and were oblig to sec them die. Governor Scott In Washington-AJTWJM Told Tale. Tlie Washington war-whoop of his E cellency Governor Scott, delivered wii startling effect on Wednesday night in pr sence of the "big injuii3" of the party revolution, was sounded in Columbia sever1 weeks ago, without provoking anything moi than a feeling of awful jollity that even i high official should venture to'hint that thei was in South Carolina even a contingent n maiuder of the recklessness and violence s falsely imputed to our people. Io this Stat the talk about Winchester* rifles is a twic told tale. The Legislature of South Can lina did authorize Governor Scott to buy tw thousand arms of the most improved patten and these arms, in the> hands of negro cor stables, are scattered throughout the Statt They were not needed. The people ar quiet and law-abiding. Without the Win chesters there wa3 no wrong doing; am with them-a more significant fact-th State is still at peace. And ?he reason is not pusillanimity, not degradation of spirit but a devotion to law and order, and a de termination to preserve in this State the cain and tranquillity indispensable to the success ful prosecution of agriculture and trade The party of which Governor Scott is tils? head, left no stone unturned in their en dea vor to stir up riot and disorder. Tliej failed in South Carolina, and will fail again. There is, indeed, no danger that a Republi? can from South Carolina will knock at thc doors of Congress "with a majority against "him," because his friend3~b,ave been pro? hibited "by intimidation ann murder" from voting. H?ge and Wallace were defeated, not "by intimidation and murder," but bj the vote of thc people; and in the next elec t ions-any men like them, not in politics but in personal shame, will be routed and over? come as they were. Congress may again admit a defeated candidate, but it wilf bc because party expediency is higher than thc law and 1 he constitution, and not because any circumstance of illegality or wrong at? tended thc expression of the wishes ol' the people. In justice to Governor Scott, we freely con? fess our opinion that even so preposterous a politician cannot, in his own heart, believe that there is the slightest chance of getting up a "bloody conflict" in South Carolina by way of influencing the fall elections. This is a "truly loyal" people, and Governor Scott knows it. But all this buncombe talk about rebels and rifles may bolster np the psrty, and may induce Congress to remit gallant Georgia to the tender mercies of Governor Bullock. Infinis way the political testimony of Governor Scott may do Bullock some ser? vice, although we are inclined to believe that the present Governor of Georgia will think twice before he attempts to hold Radicalism together by arming the negroes agaiii3t the Georgia while men. The aim of Scott and Bullock, and their Northern brethren, is to influence lite mind of the Northern people by tales of outrage and wrong, so that their own acts of usurpation and tyranny may pass unquestioned. They desire to keep their claws on Georgia, and to rivet the chains anew upon Virginia and Tennessee. Massachusetts is threatened with reconstruction, and New York is not safe. Thc Buller party, backed by Bullock and Scott, demand new Stales to conquer, and nothing wouRfr delight them more than some tale of blood and rapine which might convince New England that tho South needed, and the whole nation needed, amore thorough reconstruction. These men would willingly sacrifice the lives of a thousand ignorant colored men for the greater glory of their party. The blood of the black man may flow like water, if the party politicians can only succeed in obtaining a longer lease of power. And the way to overcome these people is plain and simple-it is by adopting the pol? icy, now adopted in South Carolina, of aban? doning national political questions and ad? dressing every energy lo securing good gov? ernment and increasing industrial activity. Without PEACE these cannot be had, Mid the peace which, under thc auspices of a CITI? ZENS' PARTY, builds up our waste places and causes the barren fields to blossom like thc rose, will, also, defeat the ingeuious schemes of unscrupulous politicians, whose only hope of retaining the public honors tltey disgrace is in fomenting discord and encouraging in? surrection and rebellion. This broad fact should bc pondered in every Southern State. GOVERNOR SCOTT, in his Washington ora? tion, declared that he spent "four years in "the army," in the service of his (not this) beloved State, and that he "never felt great "er danger ona pickei line" than he did in South Carolina "during the (political) cam "paigu of 18?8." Jes' so! But the "picket "li::*" of his affections must have been an exceedingly safe place, or else "His Excel "lency" is as easily scared as Congressman H?ge, the burden of whose song, during the campaign ot 1SC3, was this: He who fights and runs away. " Lives to tight another day; B:?tvhn wh0 ls ,n battle slain Shall never run nor fight again. WE have not been able to And out. so far, what were the city e CJM nditures for the quarter ending January 1st last. Revels' Malden Speech. Senator Revels' maiden speech, to which we referred in a late number of THE NEWS, ba? provoked the mo3t discordant opinions from the two political parties. To the one party his deliverance was a wonder of states? manship; to the other it was "worn out frit "ter"-whatever that may be. The fact is that ii was a sensible speech, very well put together, yet containing nothing original. It claimed the favorable consideration of the whites in behalf of the colored people, be? cause the latter were peaceable laborers du? ring the larger part of Hie war, and because, toward its close, they replenished the deci? mated ranks of the Union armies. Tho ar? gument is as familiar as the alphabet, yet it was a suitable introduction to thc senato? rial career of Revels, and tended to remove the prejudice awakened by his appearance as a Congressional disputant. The Radicals endeavored to magnify the occasion. Senator Fenton yielded his seat to the speaker. Governor Bullock, of Geor? gia, stood behind his chair ; the World says that Bullock was the real author of the speech. At its close Mr. Morton "congratu "lated the Senate that in exchanging Jefler "son Davis for this senator, it had lost noth "ing of ability and gained vastly in^patri "otism and loyalty!" So extravagant a com? parison may provoke reprisals. It will be said that Revels is not competent to speak of the temper of the Southern negroes du? ring the war, for he did not come South until it was over. It will be added that he is nata negro but an octoroon ; seven-eighths of hisDlood i3_white. Chief Justice O'Neall, before the war, classed all such persons among white citizens. Finally, it will l?bj affirmed that we have no evidence to show that Revels is the author of a single sentence that he read from his manuscript. In any event, however, we are pleased to observe that tho tone of the speech was moderate and conciliatory. This we judge to be thc temper of the man ; and that tem? per the Southern-whites should encourage as far as practicable. He may not be a Jeff. Davis, but to-day that eminent statesman would be powerless aa senator from Missis? sippi. _ _. Virginia and tlie Citizens' Party. Tiie Richmond Whig, in .publishing the proposed platform of thc CITIZEN-S'PARTY, and the resolutions ot. the Press Conference, urges the people of Virginia to adhere lo their already 'successful policy of opposition to Radicalism upon thc same broad basis. The Whig says: "THK CHARLESTON NEWS calls attention to tlie fact that thes? resolutions altogether ignore national politic.'! and national political parlies, And contemplate only an organization for State purposes, an organization without dis? tinction of class, color or past political action, to secure a capable, honest and respectable government. "Virginia Democrats have been accustomed to follow the teachings of South Carolina, and we call the attention of those of them who are laboring to dissolve our great Conservative organization and construct out of some of Its materials a Democratic party lo act with thc Northern Democracy, to the rebuke adminis? tered to them in the action of thc conference referred to. "We already'bave in Virginia a great, com? pact, well cemented organization for State purposes, composed ol' those 'opposed to Rad Icalhjm.' Let ns adhere to >t, and keep out of national parties as long as we can. That is the part of wisdom."' MR. BBATY, of Horry, promptly denied thc truth of the rumors which snggested im? proper motives for his affirmative vote on thc "Phosphate bill." No wonder that the staunch people of Horry were indignant; the very suspicion of such a thing was Horry-fying. THE city tax on real estate for this year is two per cent., instead of two and a half per cent. Thi3 reduction will be an acceptable relief to owners of real estate. Removals. DR. J. L.
