Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Hay, Charleston, S. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1870. NEfTS OF TUE DAY. -Oold yesterday at New York closed firm at 12al2&. -The New York cotton market closed quiet and firm at 23tfc; saler, isoo ba!e3. -At Liverpool cotton was firmer; uplands 11J? all.L4<l; Orleans llj,'an.l?d: sales 18,000 bales. -"Jim Fisk," the "Priace of Erie," has been elected :i full fledged Colonel or the Ninth Regl ment. New York. It is thought ye bold warrior's motto will be "Invincible in peace, and invisible in war." -J. S. Morgan A Co., London bankers, have introduced thc St. Louis bridge bonds on the market. They have purchased $1,500,000 of the % bonds, with the option of thirty days for taking the baltnceof the $4,000,000. -Tn Europe, hard -water ls considered more healthful than sort. The French savans, when In? quiring after water for the supply of Paris, found that more conscripts are rejected in soft water districts, on account of imperfect development and stunted growth, than in thc hard, and they concluded that calcareous mn;"er in water ls es? sential to the formation of tissues. Facts bav ing a similar bsarlng have been noted In Great Britain. -Some people seem to think that the Suez Cauul ls ouly practicable for vessels of compara? tively small size, and that consequently its com? mercial advantages ?rill be proportionately limit? ed, This ls a mistake. Even now, in the absence .of contemplated improvements, any craft draw? ing less than twenty feet of water can get through. Of course, this would not answer lor thc Great Eastern, but snips UKO the Brazilian, thc Queen of thc South, and the Mauritius, of 2315, 2097 aud 2159 tons respectively, passed through some time ago. The depth ot the canal. Ais originally designed, ls to be twenty-six feet. -A new kind of paper, specially adapted for various articles of clothing, has been Invented In England. Both uuimal and vegetable mate? rials uro employed in its production, thc latter Acing New Zealand flax, jute, hemp and cotton, and the former wool, silk and s.'.ius. These are reduced to a pulp and bleached, and then felted ,< in appropriate machinery. The mixture of these j malcri?is gives a paper of extraordinary pliancy, , flexibility and strength, which may be sewn to? gether as easily as woven fabrics. A very good 1 imitation of leather is made of it, of which fur? niture coverings and even shoes may be made. -How the operation s of the telegraph are causing changes In this country ls wonderfully exemplified at Key West. Vessels arrive there now that do in a few hours, and by the expendi? ture of from thirty to iii ty dollars, a business which cost them thousands of dollars heretofore, and many days' time. The captains of those '?esscls telegraph to different ports, inquiring for freights. By telegraph they make their engage menu, to accept freight, and move direct for the place or places where they can get that freight, and thc pr ices for carrying lt that are thc most profitable. -Two negroes, named Tom Young and Bob Gunn, were hang In Hillsboro', Orange County, North Carolina, on Friday last, for the murder or Martin V. Blalock, a young white man, on Christ? mas uight last. Thc murder wa3 committed for the purpose or robbery. Youug itlalock was em? ployed in keeping bar lu thc rear of a grocery, and had taken iu that night about $175. Tba ne 'groes calied after he had closed up, under pre. . tence or wanting drinks, and when they were ad? mitted murdered him In thc most brutal manner, v*y breaking his skull with a cog-wheel, strang Ung him with a rope, and cutting lils throat. They then rubbed the till a*d escaped. They -Were soon arter arrested and brought to Justice. -Over rorty railroad projects are already be? fore Congress uskmg Tor subsidies, while the river and harbor improvements sonzht ror will amount, in the aggregate, to over eleven minions aoven hundred thousand dollars. The Chicago Tribune.Sty** a notable instance or thc end to? wards the means In thc case or thc little town or Con-leant, Ohio, which is situated somewhere between Ash tabula and Erie, or midway between Cleveland and Buffalo, which already had nearly $25.oouof thegovernment money, and is hard after more, und which during the year ending June ?o, 1S6S, yielded ia duties collected the magnifi? cent sam of eighteen doliars I This superfluous harbor, lt said, will reqatre annual dredging at 1 government expense to keep it In navigable | repair. -The "anti-woman" articles In the Saturday ' Review are all bat universally attributed to some lady writer, and lt ls thought a sufficient answer ! to her statements to call her a "horrid creature," I and a "disgrace to htr sex." As a matt<?r of , fact, the writer or most of these essays-the "Girl of the Period" among others-is a man, ' and, what Ls more, a clergyman, and. what is more, an Episcopalian clergyman, carrying ou his ministrations lu the parish of-, but we re? frain from disclosing any more or the fearful secret. Here ls another example of thc danger or ...guessing" at the writers or articles. Some imaginary female has been called up ror punish? ment, while the real culprit has been all the time laughing in hts sleeve-probably receiving .-Up? pers ami smoklog-caps from the young ladies In his congregation, and composing his satires over a cigar every Thursday afternoon. Such is the nd vantage of the anonymous system. -That able and independent Radical paper, the New York Sun. says : "Whlttemore or South Carolina, the cadctship pe Idler, has a romanic history. He is a New Englander by birth; in? herited a small fortune; travelled lu Europe and run through 'he money ; became a clerk in Bos? ton : was converted In a camp meeting; preached; Joined Ben Butler's New Englaud brigade as a -onapla'o: got ninds and other property rrom the American Missionary Association; was charged with m I- applying the funds; exhorted and lee tared the negroes; successfully led In a street dight between negroes anti soldiers In Darlington. ;S.

The Inauguration ceremonies took place on Sunday, tho 20th ult., commencing at 4 o'clock in the morning. ' At 6 the troops took np their position at the palace, with two batteries of artillery. At 8 the otUclals or the government assembled at the palace, and at 9 the president elect, escorted by the Provisional Vice-president Domlugueand general oftlsers, aides-dc-cam p. Ac, arrived. A salute was thou flied, and a de? putation from the Legislature waited upon Saget. An address wai made by the President or the Senate, and at its close another salute or one hundred guns was tired. A procer jion was thou formed und marched to the chu-ch, where a Te Deum was chanted, and a salute or seventeen guns fired. Thc ceremonies being over, thc pro? cession returned to the palace. The antecedents ol Pres'deni Saget are such as to justify the hope that his government will bc distinguished by an enlightened and liberal policy. He ls nearly seventy years or age, and though not a man of remarkable Intellectual ability, is endowed with a fair share or good sense, and is or a very hu? mane disposition. Thc Khnt Gan. The municipal elections nt Camden yes? terday resulted in the sweeping success of the Citizens' Parly, who elected their full ticket by a small majority. This is the first time that Citizens' Parly candidates have been put in the field, and it is a good omen fur the future that victory perches on our banners. At the Presidential election in 1SCS, Camdeu gave a Radical majority of votes. Now, the friends of good gov vernment, the party of Honesty and Equal Rights, defeat their opponeuts by a majority of fourteen. This has been accomplished by a union of all the gooil people of Camden on tile Lroad platform of the Citizens' Parly. The Annual Parade of thc Fire De? partment. It would be difficult to rate too highly the value of the Annual Parade of the Fire De? partment, as a means of maintaining the efficiency and public spirit of which our fire? men are justly proud. As a holiday, it is the most widely observed public festival of the year, and the generous emulation which thc Annual Parade excites, and the desire of each company to stand well among its fel? lows, have gone very far to uphold the nu? merical strength and the mechanical skill of the department. This department has been the salvation of Charleston in rnany an ?lour of need. What it has alreadyflone it may be required to do again. And lhere is not a sober thinking man in Charleston who would not see, with g'&re solicitude, any ac? tion, or inaction, which might impair the strength of any portion of the department, or which could detract in any way from its generous usefulness. At the Aunual Parado which takes place on thc 27th of April, the different col? ored companies will form in line, for the first time, as a part of the City Fire Department. Until the incorporation of the colored com? panies, these had no representation in the Doard of Firemusters, nor did they parade with the white companies. But the law and the fact have changed all this. The colored companies are now an integral part of the Fire Department, and will be inspected on the 27lh of April with the white companies. But soinetbiug more has been customary than ihe formal inspection which the law requires. , There has been tho parade through our streets, and the "playing off" for prizes, which might be the marks of superior lleet ness and dexterity. And we cannot doubt that the same laudable feeling which led thc Board of Firemasters to recognize ungrudg? ingly the legal rights of the presidents of the 1 colored companies, will induce them to exert themselves to make tho coming parade one in which all shall join, and which every com? pany in the department may regard with pleasure und satisfaction. The white companies, generally, have not yet decided to what extent they will take part in the parade; but at a meeting of the .-Elna Fire Engine Company, held on Mon? day, it was resolved that this company would join in the parade in the usual manner. Similar action will, we presume, be luken at once by thc other white companies, and we trust that the Board of Firemasters will make speedily what arrangements may be neces? sary. Thc prizes for the Colored companies, as well as those for the white companies, should, if possible, bc especially handsome, and thc number of firemen in line, of white and of colored, should be the very largest that Charleston has ever seen. Killed with Kindness. Tiie message of President Grant in rela? tion to American shipping, is a plain recog- 1 nition of the fact that thc trude and com? merce of thc world have already passed j away from the United States, and that the American Hag is swept from the seas, not ! bySuniters and Alabamas, but by protec- ; lion tariffs and unwise legislation. The Congressional committee on the causes of ? Lhe reduction of American tonnage, to whose report the President refers, propose that lumber, metal and ircn, used for the con? struction of steam or sail vessels, built in the United States, shall receive a drawback equal to the duties paid upon such materi? al. Ship stores and coal, in like manner, would come iu free of daly; and every 1 American vessel engaged for more than six inoiiihs in the year, in the carrying trade between the United States and foreign ports, would receive a subsidy varying from one dollar and fifty cents a ton for . sail vessels, to four dollars a ton for steum- ' ers running to European ports. But the drawbacks on materials arc limit? ed to twelve and fifteen dollars a ton, and this will not balance the difference of cost between ships built in this country and ships 1 built on the Clyde. It will give us cheaper vessels for our coasting trade, which we are in no danger of losing; but it will not enable us to recover the tonnage which has passed away from us on the ocean. And while com? mittees are vainly trying to discover nos? trums for what hos only one cure, Free Trade and an Open Market, the shipping trade of England is increasing with astound? ing rapidity. The Liverpool docks arc one of the won? ders of the commercial world. Their capa? city for the accommodation of steam ship? ping is 1,201,000 tons; and yet so insulfi cient is this for thc rush of business, that a new branch dock is to be added lo those magnificent structures that now adorn thc Mersey. The Cunard Company i3 to in? crease its fleet o? twenty steamers by four new vessels, of 3500 tons burden each ; the Inman line bas lately added two more ships to its former fifteen ; the Guion line, with six steamers on tho station.-has two more of 3000. tons burden each upon the stocks ; thc Nation? al Steam Company is to add four vessels of 4500 tons each to its present fleet of eight, and thc Southern Steamship, a new compa? ny, shortly puts on live vessels aggregating 10,000 ton3. This suddeu swelling of thc forty-nine steamers heretofore plying iuto a navy of sixty-six-an increase of over 33j per cent.-is for the trade between Liver? pool and the United States alone. There is yet to be taken into account the case of the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company, which, to its seventeen vessels of 46,000 tons bur? den, is Boon to add two steamers more. And now for South America, Thc Pacific Steam Navigation Company has had four ships trading to Rio Janeiro, Montevideo, and Valparaiso, but now raises its fleet at one bound to nine. The Brazilian aud Uiver Platte line, the Liverpool and Pernambuco, and the Para and Maranham, new compa? nies, Bwell the South American fleet to twenly-four large ships, five-sixths of them just on. Then comes the West Indian line, which runs np the total of steam shipping from Liverpool to the New World te very close on to one hundred large ships, built and building. Liverpool does not stop here. There is the African Royal; the Bombay and Bengal; the Calcutta via the Cape; tho Indian via Suez, or rather several lines already operat? ing on this route; and the various Mediterra? nean lines, aggregating from eighty to one hundred more steamships, most of thom of the largest class. With this flVet of near two humlred magnificent ocean steamers, no wonder that Liverpool needs to enlarge her docks. No port in the United States is troubled in this way. We are ' 'protected" out of thc reach of any such happy contingency. ' The cn craw aud Grtcmburo' Railroad. We are informed that the Legislature of North Carolina has removed all restrictions as to the gauge of the North Carolina Cen? tral Railroad, and that the company's pros? pects, already bright, are growing brighter daily. Thc proposed line runs from Greensboro', North Carolina, to Clicrnw, South Carolina, and when finished, will complete an air line route from New England to the Atlan? tic coast. Passengers can then take the cars and run through from Richmond to Charleston in le3S than eighteen hours, or from Washington to Charleston in less than twenty-one hours. The Greensboro' Road is about one hundred miles long, and can bc constructed and equipped for 53,000,000. Up to this time, the friends of ihe new project have met with great encouragement. They have been warmly welcomed along the line of road, and ure now engaged in enlist? ing thc support of the cities and capitalists to the north of us. From Charleston they expect some help, and it is evident that, if any scheme of the kind is of any value, the Greensboro' connection must be of vast im? portance to this city. The Charleston directors can probably surest a way of helping the work along, and they may certainly couut upon thc cor? dial assistance of the South Carolina press. Current I.U(Tature.
