Thc whole 7 block, bounded by Broadway and Fourth i avenue, and Ninth and Tenth streets, is now i one building, which is probably the largest of ( its kind in the world. Ever since Stewart rc- , moved his retail business from the Chambers street house his heart has been set on grasp- ( ing the entire block at Tenth street, and i now that he has succeeded I hope he is happy. A few days before thc completion of | the Anal addition, Mr. Stewart set a good ex- , ample to property owners generally by re? ducing his rents all round. The reduction 1 runs lrom ten up to thirty per cent., and l reaches every house he owns In New York. One piece ot property belonging to him, how- , ever-the New York Theatre-won't go off his , hands at all. No manager will touch it, and there is a report that lt will soon be torn down and replaced by a building suitable for bust- ? ness. Mr. Stewart will shortly set a small army of laborers at work on his Hempstcad j purchase, and he expects to have the Home , for Workingwomen, on Fourth avenue, com? pleted within a year. It will bc one of the largest and most substantial buildings In New ! York, and probably one of the most useful.*' -A colony of emigrants from Michigan have purchased seven thousand acres o? land a few miles sontli of Grand Junction.

The Georgia CHI in thc Senate-TH? Taxation Agitation-Changes In the Cabinet - Amnwty - Tim Chnrlcatou Customhouse. i mox ona OWN ooattesroiiDBST.] WASHINGTON, April s. The work of reconstruction will be practi? cally ended on the firth anniversary or the close or the war. Georgia alone remains on the cal? endar, and it is expected that thc second status of reconstruction lt', that State will be settled by Congress the present week. The Radicals will carty their point, as tilings now look, aad the Bingham amendment wiil be defeated, the luramous rule of the Bullock administration will bc perpetuated. Thc manufactured stories of outrages, and thc lobbyiug of Bullock on thc floor of each House, have done Hie work, while Grant has thrown his personal influence in sup? port of the extremist!!. The Radicals wilt now turn with some rear to thc great question which meets them at home, and to thc counter die ra? tio'1 or the administration that meets them in Congress. Mt. Grant and Mr. Boutwell nave been un Vise cnongh to declare that this generation must pay on" the public debt; that although there will bc a revenue- of $lir>,000,000 for the next fiscal year above thc expenses of thc government, thc work must go on of paying $100,000,000 a rear on the principal of the debt. This, or course, takes ?50,000,000 more or taxatlou out or the pockets or the people than there is any necessity Tor, and removes that amount or capital from the business aud productive iatttresu of thc country. They have not been slow to find this ont. The mass meeting of merchants and business men In Chicago, on Saturday, telegraph their resolutions Here that thc West demands a reduction or taxa? tion al least fifty million of dollars. Memorials :ome in every mail by the dozen to Western members, asking for thc total abolit iou or the in? come lax aud oMier taxes that arc now more Purdensome than ever. Mr. Boutwell ls still tlrm in his opposition to the reduction or taxation, md even goes so far as to oppose any modifica? tion of the income tax. He insists that lils finan? cial policy demands that he should have this tax? ation for at least another year-that two hundred millions more of the public debt should be paid off before Congress gucs to work to cut down the revenue. Now these Western Congressmen, who come up for re-election next fall, say that they I ?rill never ?-nme back if they douotgo in for rc I inca] taxation; and yet iltey do ubi want to bc placed iu the position of opposing the fiuancial policy of thc admin 1st ration, on thc success or which they assume their own election also de? pends. It is simply reduced to the question or Vilich shall yield; but it is pretty evident that 3rant and company will have to come to terms. Within the past three weeks no less than three thousand applications have been made rrom citi? zens or Hie Southern States, asking for the re? noval of their political disabilities, all or which lave been referred to the respective committees >t the two houses on thc subject. They do not ntend to Ukc farther action on any individual tases, but to await a general bill, which has been thready drawn up, and which allows any one to have his disabilities removed on application to thc knited States District Courts. The President, However, ls in favor of a general law, ^o bc passed by thc requisite two thirds or each house, ;rantiug general amnesty, and thus far adheres to his Intention or sending in a special message to Congress recommending lt. 1 say adheres, be? cause several Radicals have called on him and advised agalust lt. The Washington Chronicle or yesterday also contained communications from the carpet-bag element, opposing amnesty at present-declaring that the time had not arrived, ind endeavoring to carry the matter over to the forty-second Uougre3s; but public opinion ls too strong Tor lt. The way in which New England is able to get ihe lion's share, ls illustrated ina recent speech srG-ueral Morgan, of Ohio, who submitted to the House an official statement showing the way Massachusetts had furnished less regiments, put In more war claims and received more pay than States that supplied nearly two hundred more regiments. While Massachusetts famished 107 less than New York, on the plea of war expendi? tures she has drawn from the Treasury 01,167, C7l more than New York. While Massachusetts furnished iso regiments less than Pennsylvania, on the olea or war expenditures she has drawn from the Treasury $1,392,934 more than Pennsyl? vania. While Massachusetts furnished 162 regi? ments less than Ohio, on the plea or war expen - dituics she has drawn from thc Treasury $911, 243 more than Ohio. The recent rumors of Cablnent changes have been based principally on the ground that the foreign policy or the administration ha3 been weak, as well as on the remark or Grant a year ago, that tr lus Cabinet did not suit him he would change it in twelve months. Leaders ortho Repub? lican party in Congress are generally opposed to Fish. They deny that he is in sympathy with the party; they charge that his hostility to thc Cubans is dictated by his son-in-law, Sidney Webster, who ls thc paid attorney ortho Spanish Govern? ment; and they further Insist that "a year's cor? respondence with Clarendon on the Alabama claims has shown our Prime Minister in a most unfavorable light. Ilowever, Graut does not seem disposed to make any change, and laughed most heartily ovor tho newspaper rumor that placed Ben. Buller in thc State Department. There is a conflict between the two appropria? tion CKUiaitlees on thc item of $25,?o? for re? pairing and fixing up the Charleston Custom? house. The House committee are opposed to it, and thc Senate favor it, while the supervising architeet declares that the amount is needed. The result will bc thal it will probably pass, though every other customhouse is likely to put lu a similar bill. lt does not look a? though Congress would ad? journ before the 1st or August. Tue House relus ed to entertain a motion yesterday even to ad? journ the middle or ITay. This will be bad news lo Grant, as he has declared his intention or leav? ing Washington for the sea-shore during lite warm season. Joe Jefferson has just concluded a profitable en? gagement here and luis gone to Ballimore. He next sails Tor Europe, to appear on thc English stage. ZUTA. SUPREME COURT OE SOUTH CARO? LINA.

Thc newly elected Radical Mayor and Coun? cil have retained Attorney-General Chamberlain and James D. Tradewell, Esq., as their counsel In the protest case. Th? old Council meet at io o'clock to-morrow morning to consider the pre? liminary proceedings in the case. . A light occurred to-day at the cockpit, between Cheat ham, (white,) or Edgefleld, and a negro named Minton. The castus belli was the rerusal or Chcatham to bet with Minton. A number or blows passed, but there was no blood drawn. Thc negroes are much excited on the subject. THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Glaring Frauds and Kotorioni Repeating. THE ELECTION TO BE CONTESTED. [KROlf OP): OWN COltBESrovnENT.) COLUMBIA, April 7. Election managers counted the votes for municipal officers to-day. All the managers were Radical except one, or, at farthest, two. The re? sults have already been given as follows : For Mayor, Alexander (Radical) received HOI votes, against 624 for McKenzie, the Incumbent. For Aldermen the result by wards arc : In thc first ward, for Radicals 40-2 against 161 a Radical majority of 241. In tho second ward, Radicals 235 against loo a majority or 135. lu the third ward, Radicals 205 against 171 a majority of 34. In tho fonrth ward, Radicals 312 against 1S7 a majority of 125. For Aldermen, that ls to say, the RndlcalB polled 1154 votes against C19-a majority or 535. It thus appears that there are 1775 voters In Columbia, which 19 largely above any former vote I am told by ouc who has a position to know, that thc entire registry or taxpayers (per capita,) male and remule, do not amount to 1000. Cut herc thc election gives a vote or 1775 within thc old corporate limits. Frauds are undeniable. Individuals arc known who came twenty-one miles to vote. There ar? EO many similar coses that the citizens have flied a regular protest, which will come up on Monday, when, nuder the new law, thc Council have to declare the result onlcluUy. A coup Wclal was rumored, but nothing of thc- ? kind ls likely to harmon. Monday or Tuesday will be thc time for thc coup, should thc Radical can? didate find lt advisable to attempt lt. Tlie citizens foci the fraud very deeply, and every step will bc taken to expose tbs whole thing, so that rich developments may he expect? ed next week. Thc Dental Convention Is in session, but this excites only a professional interest, and ls quite eclipsed by thc municipal muddle. Thc grand cock-light is attracting quite as much, and apparently for deeper, interest amoug thc rancy, than the town elections do among the citizen!).

JOSEP?I MURRAY, April 7,1S70. Notary Public, ap rs 13 ?gf NEWSPAPER STATEMENTS BOW THE PEOPLE TEST THEIR TROTH.-This Is not an age when people believe oa trust what? ever they sec in tho public Journals. Fir;y or sixty years ago, when the accuracy or a statement that had appeared in one of tho gazettes or "News Letters" of the day was questioned, lt was con? sidered a sufficient answer to all cavil to say, " It must bc so, for I read lt in thc newspaper." It ls not so now. Newspaper assenions must bc veri? fied before they are taken for granted, and this Is especially thc ease as regards statements set? ting forth the remedial properties of proprietary medicines. For example: It was not until the tonic and alterative properties of UOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS had been deliberately and thoroughly tested by thousands, and found to bc [ti perfect accord with the printed claims put forth in Its behalf, that lt was accepted by thc public at large as a STANDARD REMEDY. But when multitudes who had resorted to it as a safe? guard against malarious fevers, a cure for Indi? gestion and biliousness, a means of strengthening thc frame, cheering the spirit and Imparting con? stitutional vigor, came forward and testified that its beneficial effects had exceeded their moa t san? guine expectations, of course the world believed. To resist such proofs was Impossible. Great care has been takeu from the beginning not to over? state the merits or thc Hitters. Exaggeration and bombast have been the death of many prepara? tions that might otherwise have survived. They were "weighed In the balance and found want? ing." UOSTETTER'S BITTERS, on the contrary, have never been announced in grandiloquent language as a cure for every bodily 111, but simply as a pure, harmless vegetable specific, possessing remarkable invigorating, regulating, anti-bilious and antiseptic properties. This Is exactly what the public kuow the medicine to be, and its enor? mous sales ls an argument In tts favor. ; i prS 6_ ~jS?~NOTIOE. - TUE FARE TO AND from Savannah by Steamers DICTATOR and CITY POINT has been reduced to ($3) Three Dol? lars each way, including meals and berth. npr7 0_J.
