Wilson, a son of Senator Wilson, of Cali? fornia, and John E. Beane, late of the Confederate service, hut now connected with the press or Los Angelos. Thereud originated In a political dis? pute, heated by frequent indulgences in wine. On the first fire. Wilson sustained a flesh wound In thc arm. Beane was unhurt. An amicable adjustment followed. -Londoners are astounded by the discovery that much of their butter is made from the mud of the Tharne:. A small proprietor on thc bank of that noble river was recently thunderstruck by tho apparent extravagance of an offer for his wharf, and on Investigator learned that lt was wanted 03 a site for a butter factory. The Thames mnd yields, after some chemical treatment, a pure white fat lacking both taste and smell, and after some manipulation lt is made into a very popular article of food. The Globe suggests that butter pats should hereafter bc stamped with a Ukeness of Father Thames as well as that or a cow. -The Buffalo Express gives the following ac? count of a financial transaction which took place In an office in that city a few days ago: "By some means or other, lt happened that the office-boy owed one of the clerks three cents, the clerk owed the cashier two cents, and the cashier owed the office-boy two cents. The .office-boy having a cent In his pocket, conceded to diminish j,?3 debt, and therefore handed the nickel over to the clerk, who, In turn, paid haHof his debt by giving the coln tothecashier. The latter handed thecent back to the office-boy, remarking, ?Now, I only owe you one cent.' The office-boy again passed the cent to the clerk, who passed it to the cashier, who passed it back to the offlce-bov, and the lat ter Individual squared all accounts by paying it to thc clerk, thereby discharging the entire debt.'' -Mme. Adelina Patti's recent farewell at tho Opera House, at St. Petersburg, seems to have been a succession of triumphs. After tho first act or "Crlsplno," the Emperor proceeded to congratulate the popular favorite, while the chef I d'orchestre handed her a magnificent bouquet of | camellas, with a brooch, in the centre or which was an enormous pearl, surrounded by thirty diamonds. This jewel, worth nearly ?3000, was the gift or a club, six recalls followed. Next cime the first act of thc "Travlata," followed by eight recalls, a shower of flowers, Ac, and the ?mad scene-'from -Lacia'' concluded the per? formance. Arter this, however. Mme. Pani was veritably crowned with a wreath or laurels set in a massive gold coronet, presented by the orches? tra, the enthusiasm of the audience exceeding all bounds. -A Washington telegram to thc Rici mond Dispatch gives the following S3 thc origin <H the recent amnesty rumors: "The President in. formed Senators Johnston, of Virginia, and Bore man, of West Virginia, that he had pre; .ired a message to Congress recommending un versal amnesty, and that he would transmit it to that b-Mly after the admission of Tcxa* and Geo gia; t iat, in his opinion, the time for general amnesty had arrived, ?nd he thought Congress should pass a bill onablii.g all political offenders to be? come enfranchised by going to the nearest court, registering, and taking a proper oath. The pnbli cation of these facts aroused thc opponents to general amnesty, among them a few senators and representatives , who have been since that time exerting their influences with thc President to have the message delayed or set aside alto? gether. The subject or amnesty lias been several times talked over by th?? President aud his Cabi? net, and General Grant adheres to his original purpose; and the draft of a message to Congress on the subject is now lying upon his table. Meantime, accounts of outrages, alleged to have been committed rcceutly lu North and South Carolina and Alabama, upon colored per? son?, have been brought to thc notice or thc President by Senator Warner and others, as a reason why thc amnesty proclamation should not now be issued. Secretary Fish had an inter? view with thc President on the subject to-dny, and approves tho course proposed by thc Presi? dent. General Sherman also approves the am? nesty message, and to-day remarked that amncs^ ty would tend to soothe the two or three hundred thousand persons disfranchised in the South, and cause them to assist in put ting down lawlessness; and this class or people would no longer be found saying wc are not citizens, and don't care if thc laws "are violated. Admiral Porter also re? marked that general amnesty ought to be grant? ed at once." Oar Political War-Horse. Thc martial speech of Governor Scott, during his recent trip to Washington, is be? ing handled ia a most disloyal and irreve? rent temper by the New York pres3. Any? body can see, either that the Governor was in fun. or that the speech was made after dinner. Besides, he is a man in office, and, now-a-days, office, like charity, covers a mul? titude of sins. What does that scurrilous, journal, The World, mean by describing In spirited re? marks as the atrocious utterances attribu? ted to and not denied by the fellow who "styles himself the Governor of South Caroli "na." If thc Governor did say "that said "State was one nest of assassination, that "there was no protection for loil men, and that "he only wanted the General Government to "give him Wiuchester rilles, with a hundred "rounds of ammunition for each, 'as tho best " 'law that you can have there,' " is he the iirst man who has used the bottom of a tumbler for a field-glass, and who, as he gazed, has seen visions and dreamed dreams? We grieve to say that The World extends no consideration whatever to the hallucinated Governor, but seriously, nay, fiercely, puts him down by the counter testimony of "an "aged and eminent citizen of South Carolina, ".who,'' as we are told, " was prominent in "thc councils of the republic long before this "so called Governor started in life as a quack." The venerable statesman has no mercy upon the maudlin, yet bellicose doctor, but writes, as The World pitilessly informs us, "todc "nounce the Governor's charges as the most "gross and absolute falsities, and to declare "that such fostering of or incitemcn t to crime, "as there has been in the State, is due solely "to this very man, who has notoriously par? doned the greatest villains almost as fastas "the courts convicted, and now seek.?, by the "creation of au armed negro force, to carry "the next Congressional elections." We blush to think that our family afl'airs are so well known. Let us have peace. Let our vener? able statesman reflect that there is no clan? ger in those rifles which the Governor is seeking to gain. They can be sold, a3 well .as the State. And let the pnnic stricken Governor reflect that the suffrages. he needs can be secured without any help from Wash? ington ; they can be manufactured as easily as the Southern outrages. We add with a trembling hand the conclu? sion to which The World arrives, in regard to the heart and head of our beloved Chief Magistrate. It speaks of his " low and base "calibre;" it argues that thc instincts of such a nature must "normally develop them? selves in thc late slanders retailed in Wash? ington;" and adding insult to injury, it de? scribes him as "this particular specimen," as if lie were a stuffed polecat. Perpetrat? ing a horrible climax, The World exclaims: "Equally natural is it that his stupidity "should be as gross as his malevolence; for "otherwise how would he assert a state of "affairs in South Carolina which proves noth? ing so much as his own worthlessness ? Tho "hog, it is said, in swimming frequently cuts "its own throat; and so this Governor., in "seeking to procure thc extension of Iiis "term by thc rattling of bloody bones, but "proves that he is not fit to be a Governor "at all." We take issue willi The World. If thc facts are so, Governor Scott is a man of the greatest prudence and shrewdness. If Iiis own people think so contemptuously of him, happy for him was the day when he emigrat? ed. In certain disturbed states of society a penniless adventurer may become a million? aire and a Governor in Suuth Carolina. He is "all right" beyond any question. But as for us, we fear that we shall lose this ex? cellent officer. His leading supporter in Charleston was overthrown as soon as he re? sorted to pistols. He himself incurs the same danger from popular ingratitude when he resorts to Winchester rifles. Indeed, we greatly fear that he could not save himself from defeat, through ho should summon to his aid torpedoes, and columbiads, and ele? mental thunders. A Good Word for Alaska. At last some one is found to say a good WOAI for Alaska, the land of frost, fog and snow, for which the Czar of All the Rnssias consented to accept the snug snm of seven million dollars. Au article in the London Observer states that the fur trade lias be? come very active under the auspices of the go-ahead Americans, and the catch of sea otter skins, which is, almost confined to Alaska, has largely increased. When that territory belonged to Russia, the number never exceeded 3000 ncr annum. Most of thc skins went into ?aissia direct, and the trade was protected by a monopoly vested in the Russian-American Company. With the transfer of the territory, the company and tho monopoly have ceased to exist, and the catch during the past year was double that under the old r?gime. In the article of fur seal skins from the Aleutian Islands, also part of tlie transferred territory, there is lo be found another example of the anxiety of its new masters, the Americans, to ?inprove the shining hour. The old Russian com? pany used to jog along contentedly, pro? ducing and sending t) Europe some 4000 seal skins per annum. Du -ing tho eighteen months that have elapsed since the transfer, the American successors of the Russiuu com? pany have consigned lo Sir Curtis Lamp3on about 300,000 fur seal skins, representing a money value of about $2,000,000 ingold. A few yeaig of thiB would go far to pay the purchase money which our folk3 paid Rus? sia for the sterile tract; but the best judgea are inclined to fear that a slaughter so vast is injudicious, and that iu their basic to "re? alize" our speculative friends are imitating tho impulsive individual who killed the goose for the sake of thc egg-}. Thc Fire Parade. A correspondent asks us to have thc kind? ness to agitate thc question of "a general '.closing up of all places of business on the "27th of April," when tba annual parade of the Fire Department will take place. Every man is the best judge of his own affairs, and it would be an improper interfer? ence with the rights of private citizous to uso any public pressure to cause them to close their places of business on any partic? ular day, perhaps at great loss and inconve? nience to themselves. At the same time, we take it for granted that every employer will do what he can to give all ?1030 who desire to take part in tho parade a proper opportu? nity of doing so. Thia is the least that em? ployers can do for the city and tho Fire De? partment _ _ Tiic Camden Election. The CITIZENS' PARTV Ticket was elected on Monday, by a majority of fourteen. The Journal says that there was considerable interest taken in the election, and much activity prevailed among the friends of the two tickets, but the day passed oft" quietly. At night the Republicans held a meeting, at which they resolved to contest the election, and accordingly on Tuesday handed in a protest, which waa considered by the Town Council, who declared that the election was legal and valid. The Council elect will be installed on Monday next. Agencies.. ^DTEETISING AGENCY. Authorized Agency for Southern Newspapers, ? Publisher's Lowest Cash Rates to all. DISCOUNT TO LARGE ADVERTISERS.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to call the attention or the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we .first in? troduced them to the notice or the American pub? lic, we deem It unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description or meir merits, Ac. There ls hardly a city or town or any note In the country Into which they have not round their way. The reason or this widespread popularity and dally increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further improved their qualltv, aud now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy or flavor. It is a strictly pure andJilgh ly concentrated Extract or Vanilla Bean!. In short, we think it the best that ls made, at least, this ls the decision or the best Judges in the coun? try. We doii't pretend to compete la price with many or Hie so-called Flavoring Extracts or the day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving or thc name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
