Taking New York City as an index, the doc? tor shows that thc Increase or procured abortions has been alarmingly rapid. In 18-15. the ratio to population was 1 to 1633; In 1S43, l to 340; in 18SG, 1 to 10; In 1869, 1 to 4. These figures represent a state or morals which challenges the grave con? sideration of legislators and teachers of religion. -The Queen of Holland having stated to Mr. Motley that she should like to meet those of thc literary men or England whose acquaintance she was not likely to make lu court and fashionable circles, the latter gentleman hastened to comply With her request by invi ing them all to dine at his house with her Majesty. The Queen ls one or the roost learned women or Europe, and a great favorite in thc intellectual society or Paris. There wr? a peculiar propriety In the Queen or the Neth? erlands meeting the literati o? England at thc hcu.-c or thc historian or her country. -It has been the law in the State or New York for some years, that a combination or workmen to obtain higher prices for their labor was a criminal otTence, and those engaged in it have beeu treated as conspirators, said law Is now abrogated, thc Legislature ol that State having enacted that the labor laws "shall not be con? strued in any court or this State to restrict or prohibit Hie orderly and peaceable assembling or co-operaiion or persons employed In anyprofes sion, trade or handicraft, for the purpose or se? curing an advance in the rate ot wages or com? pensation, or for the mau.tenance or such rate." -Thepreliminaries or the contest between thc .Dauntless and the Cambria, the representative yachts or the Cuited States and Great Britain, have, after a year's discussion, been settled. Three races or sixty miles each are to be run in thcEoglish Channel; the vessels are to Pavea flying start. May 1st ls the time agreed upon. The owner or the English yatch Cambria has ?greed to waive ail questions of time, allowances for difference of tonnage, and to sail return matches with the Dauntless in New York Bay. in case she should be defeated in the English Chan? nel. Mr. J. Gordon Bennett, Jr., the owner of tuc Dauntless, salted from New York for England on Saturday. ? -Vincent Colyer has wiitten a letter to thc President, stating tba: the recent bombardment of tue Indian village at Wrangel, in Alaska, by the United States troops staiioned there, was the re? sult or a ' wanton and unjnstmable killlug or au lud?an by Lieutenant Loucks, the second officer lu comraaud or the post." It is alleged that Loucks went out at midnight, with twenty armed men, to arrest the Indian for a slight oircnce, en? tered his house, aud after cuttlsg him in the head -with a sabre, though little or no r.-sibtance was made, ordered him to be shot. This aroused the ?whole Indian village, and a white man was kilted by H eons?n of the dead Indian in retaliation. Wext day thc village was bombarded Irom two o'clock in the afternoon until ?lark. Mr. Colyer quotes official reports to show the shocking abuses P.noticed upon these Indians. -A letter has been received In London from t: e Amlican Bishop or Jerusalem which corroborai' s the statement made on this palnrul subject l y Sir Moses Montefiore. The bishop In his letter Bays : "A small donkey's load of water costs cd. to toe poor Jews, whose family income is ls. ld. per week. Many Moslems and nominal Chris? tians are in the same position. What ls most dreadful to contemplate is thc fact that the springs near Jerusalem are drying up. But there is another more terrible calamity still. Tho lo? custs are spread over the mountains of Judah and Samaria, ia the valley of Jordau, and in the plain of Sharon and Galilee, having come to lay their eggs, which wilt be hatched before thc har? vest, and as the Arabs say that each couple lay two hundred eggs, countless millions will appear, eating every green thing, poisoning the ground, and thus preventing grass growing for the cattle." -Under the head or "Aid to the Cotton Plant? ers," a Washington letter says: "The Committee of Ways and Means have agreed to add the fol? lowing to the free list-machinery manufactured expressly fur spinning cottoa into yaru maybe imported free or duty fsr twelve months rrom the passage or this act; provided, that this ex? emption shall be limited to tho Importation for any one manufactory or no more machinery than ls necessary to operate 10,000 spindles." This has been done at thc urgent appeals ol Hon. C. W. Buckley, or Alabama, in order to aid the test or making tine rams for export and home consump? tion Instead of scuding all cotton and imparting thc yarn and manufactured cloth. The Alabama planters say that ir this Indulgence is grauted them they reel certain of success in the competi? tion with England fur the export trade in line soft cotton yarns. Preserving Peace. Queen Victoria has signed thc bill for thc preservation of peace in Ireland, commonly called thc Irish Force bill; but thc utterances of the press, both English and Irish, do not show any marked confidence in its efficiency, or in the wisdom of attempting to crush out by brute force a long standing disaffection. The London Times, which deftly trims its sails to the changing winds of popular opin? ion, fears that the means proposed by thc government to restore order and peace to Ireland may prove little more than a monu? ment of good intentions. They-it says will give occasion to as great an outcry on the part of the disaffected as if the suspen? sion of the Habeas Corpus Act had been recommended, and yet, while incurring a full measure of odium; they may not secure the object they desire. The Standard, the Tory organ, thinks that the government might have brought the Nationalist press to justice for the offence it committed "in the advocacy of insurrec? tion," and says that, if it was the best pel icy to take no notice of such publications, it is very hard to find any good reason for special legislation against these newspaper?. The Standard charges that Agrarian out? rages and what it calls "the Fenian spirit of "insurrection" have been stimulated by the speeches and writings of''devoted supporters "of Mr. Gladstone" and the Liberal Cabinet. Theirs is the responsibility, and now they con? fess their failure b} passing what it terms a Coercion lilli. Mr. Bright, says the Stand? ard, is compelled to govern Ireland by those means with which, as he scornfully said so short a time ago, "anybody might govern "that nnfortunate country." The Irish pa? pers ure bold in denouncing the Force Bill. The Dublin Evening Mail pointedly declares thai "in truth, na suspension of the consti "tulion is required for the security of life and "property in Ireland, but simply a suspension "of incendiary proctedingson the part of tne "government; adiscoorageraentof such pro "cecuings on the part of persons more or "less under the influence of the government, "and an honest execution of the law as it "exists." And the same paper concludes a forcible article on the subject in these words: "While the promised provisions for coercion "appear to us to be worthy of the most des? potic government in the world, we do not "believe they will produce any good effect "in repressing disorder or healing strife. ''These objects might be obtained by govern "ment; they are beyond the reach of legista "tion." The Londonderry Journal takes the same ine, and says: "The exercise of coercive "measures and thc empowering of unlimited "means to the magistracy and police will go "a very little way in stamping ont Agrarian "murder. We are ratlier inclined to prefer "the mean3 indirectly intimated by the late "speech of. Mr. Conolly, and endeavor, by "the dispensing of justice, to prove to the "people that the law ls their friend-instead "of Impressing them more strongly with the "idea, hy the adoption of almost unprece? dentedly severe measures, that it is made to "harass aud oppress them. If tho twenty-four "country gentlemen who, on Saturday, grasp "ed SD eagerly at the notion of having the Ha? beas Corpus Act suspended and a sort of po '-lice despotism established, would be equally "zealous in acknowledging the rights of their "dependents, the fear of the receipt of a "threatening letter, or tho dread of a bullet "from behind a hedge, would not perturb "their equanimity. It is not to be thought "that wc see no reason for some extra facil? ities being given to the police and magis "terial authorities. Quito the contrary. But "we are surprised to see gentlemen sanction "so emphatically and strongly the exercise "of powers the most unlimited and rigorous "that could be devised, without having r? "courseto martini law-and for what? to "prevent the continuation of a condition of "things which has been brought about, iu u "great part, by the unscrupulous and un "justiliable acts of the very class to which "they belong." These extracts show the tone of some of the leading organs of public opinion. It is proper, however, to add that the Saturday Review is a sturdy advocate of thc policy of Sword anil Gibbet, and that many influ? ential pupers and many prominent men pro? fess to believe that it is easier to coerce a people into sullen submission than, by jus? tice and fair dealing, to win their confidence ami love. V'.. t Columbia Elections. At thc elections held in Columbia on Tuesday the radicals elected their candi? dates for Mayor and Aldermen by a large majority. It is of no use crying over spilt milk, but wc cannot help regretting that our friends in Columbia did not nominate their candidates npon the broad platform of the CITIZENS' PARTY. This would, we believe, have given them thc victory. At Camden, on Tuesday, the CITIZENS' PARTV candidates were elected, although thc odds against Hiern seemed overwhelming. And the same result was accomplished, in the same way, at Darlington on Monday. THERE is a difference of opinion between the HOUSP a-.id the Senate, In regard to the proposed appropria; ion of $25,000 for re? pairing the Charleston Customhouse. The probabilities are that the appro]uiatiou will be made. The Northeastern Railroad. The annual report of this company, print? ed in another column, shows that the condi? tion of the road is slowly but steadily im? proving. The freights are about fourteen per cent, larger than in 1868, and there is no dotibt that the opening of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad will considerably increase the through passenger travel. Ad? ditional rolling stock and depot accommo? dation are needed, but these wants will be supplied in such a way that the road will not be embarrassed. Highly satisfactory pro? gress has been made in exchanging the ma? tured bonds for the new mortgage bonds of the company; and the acknowledgments of the company are made to those who have so promptly accepted the only proposition which could be made for the readjustment of the debt The report is cheerful and confident In tone, and the steadily improving condition of the agricultural and other interests of the country through which the road passes, jus? tifies the belief that from this time out its most lucrative business will steadily increase. The Shipment of Fertilizers. During the month of March there were shipped from Charleston, by the South Caro? lina Railroad, 18,260,590 pounds of fertil? izers. This ls equal to about 9130 tons, or 1141 car loads. At $80 per ton, this amount of fertilizers cost about $730,000. This is doing pretty well for one month. TBBRI are candidates enough, in posse and I'M esse, for Whittemore's vacant Con? gressional chair. Senator Rainey, (colored) of Georgetown, is spoken of as a prominent opponent of the culprit carpet-bagger. Representative Shrewsbury, (colored) of Chesterlield, is nominated by the Cheraw paper. Captain Dunn, an ex-officer of the Federal navy and a Conservative Republi? can, is nominated by the people of Harry. And F. J. Moses, Jr., Speaker of the House and Adjutant-General of the State, is said to have an eye upon the Federal capitol. Agencies. ADVERTISING AGENCY. Authorized Agency for Southern Newspaper?.
