Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO.. No. 140 East Kay. Charleston. S. C. TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1S70. NE?TS OE TUE DAT. -Hold closed in New York, yesterday, steady at 13& -Cotton closed quiet and firm at 23 Vc. -No closlug cotton quotations were received from Liverpool. -It ls proposed to let a general exhibition or hats follow thc great umbrella show in LofAon, of which the cable made mention some tune ago. It ls suggested that while the exhibition shall be of old hats, lt shall also include hats of all ages. -The New York papers say a letter has been received In that city from Captain Gladsden, a passenger on the .steamer City of Brussels, saying k that thc vessel at thc date or writing was all right, and would probably reach Liverpool about May 1. -The killing or Victor Noir has cost Prince Pierre Bonaparte over $30,000. This amount In? cludes the costs and ?50oa compensation sjo the family of Noir. The Prince has also given $4000 for thc poor or the City of Tours, where the trial took place. -Canada ls losing Its population. THe people are coming to the United States. Thc Canadian Government takes measures to encourage immi? gration to supply the deficiency: but the immi? grants do not remain there. Of the 53,000 who landed there last y car, only l3,eoo remain. -President Grant received a letter recently from Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, stating that she was still In Germany and not in very good health, but very much lu need or assistance. This she sees has beeu proposed in ihe bill pending in the Sen? ate to give her a pension, bnt the delay m acting ou lt she is unable to account for. The President will probably send the letter to either a Senate or House committee. The Senate pension commit? tee, however, agreed to report a bill giving Mrs. Lincoln a liberal pcrsion. -Wasldngton correspondents complain that the Funding bill ls still allowed to sleep from day to dar in committee, notwithstanding thc pres? sure from all quarters to have it speedily dispos? ed of. The attempt to perpetuate the income tax hangs Ure, and there is an evident determination on the part of numerous representatives not to place their names on the record as having aided In continuing the odious burden. Sumner has given notice that when the bill to abolish the Trunking privilege comes up he shall offer a sub? stitute establishing a uniform rate of one cent postage. There ls much scandal afloat about a distribution of the State bonds of Georgia to In- 1 fiuence legislation concerning that State. Cyrns : W. Field's bill for a submarine telegraph cable between America and Asia meets with very gene? ral favor. -A Washington letter to the-Richmond Dis? patch says: "The much talked-or amnesty mos sage to Congress, which your correspondent stat? ed correctly was prepared and Intended to be transmitted tdFboth Houses as soon as Texas and Georgia were admitted, appears to have been abandoned by thc President, for the present at least. It appeara that the Executive was very decided at first ia his determination to send this message to Cmgrcss, but thc announcement of this fact aroused the extremists of the Radicals, , who beset General Grant, and have, by raisrepro- ( sentatlons of the feelings of Hie Southern people, induced bim to forego his laudable purpose. Ho ' ls becoming more aud more a man or putty each day, and In the hands of these schemers ls but an Instrument to respond to their behests. | The secret of this ls that he desires to bc re-elect? ed to the Presidency. He will lose the credit that he might have gained by the amnesty message, for Congress will, before Its adjournment, pass a bill ol general amnesty. Tins they acknowledge must be accomplished in order to put the Radical party on good tcrm3 with the Suutn." -Rev. Chas. B. Smyth, a sensation preacher or New York, who flrst gained notoriety by lils ,iecu Har sermons on thc-Black Crook." held forthin thc Eleventh street Presbyterian Church last Sun? day, ^nd performed many strange antics, not only lu the pulpit, but elsewhere. He discussed the McFarland encounter, demanding a law pre. scribing death as the pnuishment for adultery, and after finishing his sermon, called together six reporters who were present and asked them out for refreshments. He led them to a liquor and refreshment saltton on the avenue near by. Beefsteaks and oysters having been ordered, Smyth turned to tjic reporters and asked them what they would drink. Their orders having been given', he himself requested the barkeeper to bring him'-some of the same." Tills turned ou to be gin and milk, of the former of which liquids his reverence took five Angers, swallowing the dose with evident relish. The viands having been disposed of, all arose to leave, and Mr. Smyth, turning to the barkeeper, carelessly re? quested him to "hang that up." The barkeeper, who seemed to know him, saul. "All right !" ami the party passed ont and separated. -Prince Erle made his debut as colonel of thc Ninth New York Regiment on Thnrsday evening by marching, In thc moonlight, down Fifth Ave? nue, at the head of his troops. Mr. Fisk ls suld to have looked every inch a colonel, ne wore a dark bine swallow-tall coat of thc flaest cloth, with light blue pantaloons made iu the prevailing tight fashion, which displayed to great advan? tage the muscular proportions of hts manly limbs. These trousers had a red stripe with a broad, double braiding of gold. His expansive ctust was crossed by a brilliant gold lace pouch belt, and his waist was spanned with a sword belt or the same co3tly material. On his Napoleonic head rested the shako of the regiment, which was Surrounded by a large crimson panache. The march was a triumphal procession from begin? ning to end, and thousands of people lined thc sidewalks along the enUre route, giving vent to their very warm feelings of admiration by re? peated cheers. The regiment appeared in excel? lent trim, and the new colonel spoke to various members of his starr, in thc warmest terms, or the pride h1? felt Intaking charge or so tine a body or mea. It was remarked that Colonel Fisk bore a striking resemblance to the elder Napoleon. -A notorious desperado and murderer, accounts of whine villainy and crnel deeds of blood have often been chronicled by thc California and Ari? zona papers, has at last been overtaken by jus tice, aud a summary and fearful punishment ad? ministered for his numerous crimes. He was km-- a;, lhe '.Arlzona RUman-i antl fCnred ty everybody. A few years ago he robbed an old Sau Francisco jeweller of $20,000 worth ol" jewelry, after beating him nearly to death. The police searched for the villain for months, and Anally caught him at Fort Prescott, Arizona, where he had just arrived from Mexico. He was a tall, raw boned individual, named John Kelley. While confined at the f ?rt, which ls situated on a rocky precipice, llfty feet above a stream, he broke .'rom his guardhouse one night, dashed past thc sentinel, a id leaped boldly over the clltf. escaping without injury. He was next heard of at thc Santi Rita mine it Vrteona, where he worked at blacksmithing and tried to .-iai> thc superinten? dent of thc minc, a Mr. Grosvenor. Before lear lug he took one bf thc employees of the mine to his rooms, where he opened his mink and cx hiliiieri to him eighteen pairs of human ears, which he said he had cut from tie heads of eighteen persons that he had killed; and sald*he had taken an oath to increase the number to twen ty-tive ere he had stopped. Several months ago he brutally murdered a family of four persons near El Palso del Norte, for the sake of a few dollars. Ile was anally captured at Arizona by some of the inhabitants who quickly wreaked their ven? geance on him. He was taken into a wood some distance from the city, where they tied one end or? rope to the limb of a tree, and to the other fastened Kelley by the heels, so that his head hung within a few feel nf thc ground. They then built a slow Dre under him and allowed him to remain suspended uutird.eath put an end to his existence. WE understand that at a meeting of citi? zens cf Charleston County, held in this cit}', last evening, it was determined lo make ar? rangements for calling, in due time, a Mass Meeting of citizens, irrespective of class, color, or uational politics, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the convention pro? posed by thc Anti-Rad ?cal Press Conference, to bc held in Columbia, on June 15th, next 'r ? i '* Barnacle TItc & Co. The Do-Nothing school of politicians, and their equally inert disciples, declare, with mingled pathos and bathos, that only a pas? sive resistance should bc offered to the rule of Extravagance and Corruption, ^t?h is fast driving South Carolina to the very brink of financial bankruptcy and commercial ruin. At the same time, these very Barna? cles are tolerably well aware that they would, themselves, find it extremely difficult to earn their daily bread, if the majority of their fellow-citizens clung with like tenacity to the mouldering timbers of the past. Lolling on luxurious cushions, dabbling in stocks and bonds, or practicing a lucrative profession, Barnacle Tite & Co believe that life enough will he left i" the Old State, In any event, to support them and theirs. Lest they should soil their dainty digits, lest the breezes of heaven should blow too roughly upon their cherubic countenance, they decline to wag a tongue or raise a hand for the salva? tion of their people. But they will eagerly seize upon every advantage which a reformed government can give them. They refuse, now, to work with thc party of Retrench? ment and Reform. But they will instantly claim their full share of the benefits of low taxation anti equal representation,which their more seusible fellow-citizens arc working hard to obtain. This Do-Nothing policy, it will be observed, is iu -many respects an adroit one. If the party of Retrenchment and Reform should wholly or partially fail, the Do-Notbings would exalt their horns and say-"Wc told you so ! And when that party is gloriously successful, the Do-Nothings will walk smilingly to the front, claim their share of Hie profit, and take all the offices which an injured people will give them. Thc Do Notbings may not mean all this; but no other construction can bc placed upon their conduct. It is easier to believe that men are governed by self-interest, than that those who see farthest on other occasions bhould be shortest-sighted now. ? For the masses of the people, the argu? ment against "passive resistance," and in favor of an energetic effort to obtain a bet? ter government, is both short and simple. That argument is-THE ENORMOUS INCREASE OK TOE STATE DEBT, THE ENOKMOCS COST OP THE STATE GOVERNMENT, AND THE ENORMOUS TAXATION, wnicu INCREASED DEBT AND IN? CREASED EXPENSES MAKE ABSOLUTELY NECES? SARY. Cati -any man who looks atthe figures Joubt that unless we have a purer and more frugal administration the State will be hope? lessly ruined? 1. The appropriation for thc expenses of the State Government was $420,000 in 1SC6, and is $720,000 in 1S70, exclusive of the in? terest on the public debt. Besides this, there is the county tax, amounting lo more than $500,000, und the capitation tax amounting to $200,000. 2. Tho salaries of the Slate officials were $50,800 in 18G7, and ure $107,800 in LS70. .'). The estimule of the Comptroller-Gene? ral for the expenses of tho year lSG'.l, under specified heads, was $777.300. But the amount actually spent was $1,296.752. And this docs liol include the $200,000 spent by the Land Commission. 4. To make a long story short-the debt ol the State, direct and indirect, which was SIX MILLION DOLLARS ill 1868, is now FOUR? TEEN MILLION DOLLARS. How can any one, in the face of figures like these, advise bis fellow-citizens to prac? tice a masterly inactivity, and wait patiently until some peaceful revolution shall not only hurl Radicalism from power, but wipe out, besides, the long roll of debt and taxation ? The only thing which can save the State and the people is a change of government at the next elections. We cannot afford to wait ; for ii the struggle were postponed two years longer the taxation would be so enormous that neither commerce ttor agriculture could thrive and prosper. And then the only "passive resistance" remaining to thc peo? ple would be a general Exodus from a State which was ruined, less by the act of her enemies than by the obstinate folly of a few of her own children. Chaos. "The party of progress" turns out to be the party of reaction. Our government was made, by the constitution, one of limited powers. It was restricted by that muuicipul and local legislation which broke the feu? dalism of the middle ages; which established the Italian cities, and the Swiss Republic, and the leagues of Northern Germany; and which liberalized and adjusted the whole po? litical system by a lofty and just ideal. This element of public prosperity Radicalism ig? nores, or rather seeks to destroy. Franco gives liberty to its couinuinoa. Prussia to its principalities and kingdoms. Spain and Austria seek to make the citizen aman. But Ameiica goes hack to abso? lutism; crushes out thc life of ?tates; makes the citizens mere puppets; proscribes self government as rebellion, and lauds the spo? liation of thirty-seven million five hundred thousand men, women and childreu by two million five hundred thousand monopo? lists, a3 a "protection lo industry!" While all tho world beside is rising up to liberty, wc are sinking down beneath thc pressure of a consolidated despotism. Heartless in? triguers and empty mouthers geek to perpet? uate among us, or rallier lo renew, (hose political sophisms which Europe casts to Hie winds. For our part, we think that the States are quite as important in our system ns Hie Gen? eral Government, Thc former made the latter, and could do quite as well as they fo rmerly did were the virtuous City of Wash? ington to experience Hie fate of the Cities of thc Plain. Nay, we even Lope they could mariage to survive were careless Nature to break, like a potsherd, that sleek Robe? spierre-mould out of which she made Sumner, or that crooked, squint-eyed John Wilkes mould OUtjOf which Butler sloughed. Under any circumstances politicians will grow. But States do not take root so easily. If they perish they may involve liberty in their over? throw, and may require a century or two for their're-establishment Thc obsequies of a Congressman require only a few yards o crape; those of a Slate demand tho tears and perhaps tho blood of thousands. We cannot but think that thc reception of General Ames in Congress, as tho senator from Mississippi, is one of thc most signifi? cant and momentous circumstances that has occurred in the United States since the war. This gentleman was a citizen of Maine, but was elected to represent Mississippi simply because he was in the latter State at thc time of bis election. The New York Times admits the significance of the Congressional action in this case, and asserts that a resi? dence of two or three days in any Slate ia sufficient to entitle any citizen of the United States to office there. Under the present regime, Horace Greeley can represent Vir? ginia. The Union isa nation. The citizens of any district have a relationship to all, and can be returned to Congress from Carolina or Oregon, just as Mr. Bright can be sent to Parliament from Manchester or Plymouth, from Cornwall or Yorkshire. Thus the Union adopts a new device for dominion not the knightly sword or spur-nat the royal crown or sceptre-but the CARPET? BAG. That parti-colored ensign of adven? ture is uow thc very star of empire ! The wooden clock, thc wooden ham, the wooden nutmeg, were the harsh experience of the' past; the carpel-bag is the yielding, tender, all-absorbing prom iso of the future. Now add to the prestige of the carpet-bag the power of "protection." Give every scoundrel who has "an itching palm" thc right to dip into his neighbor's purse. Let Lowell have a cent or two for every yard of calico that is used by anybody in the United States. Let Pittsburg have its additional dollar upon every dollar's worth of iron (hat eulers into any engine, or plough, or axe, or anvil, or stove, or pot. Fossilize the com? munity. Wherever you find fifteen poor men, consolidate thom into a phosphate, and crush them into dust, that thc fields of one rich man may bo fertile. Forbid the very rivers to How unless limy turn their sandi to gold, and give their gold to Midas. Not content with subduing the Soulh by overpowering numbers, New England de? mands that these grand Slates should be? come coproliles-excrescent*! of a part that has perished forever, yet that may bc utilized like the bones of thc heroes of Waterloo that now fertilize the pastures and enrich thc cheeses of Cheshire. That such fully should have awakened the apprehensions and sharp? ened thc pen uf Mr. Curdozo is lamentable. There is now little doubt that the iron leader of the Paraguayan cause, who, by thc sheer force of an indomitable will, kept up so fierce and so protracted a struggle against Brazil and her allies, is no more. The end of Lopez seems to have been a filling close tos most remarkable career. Ile m^t death resolutely from a hostile lance, rather than yield to the hated foe. So long as Lopez lived, even lltougli a fugitive in Hie moun? tains, and relying for sustenance on Hie In? dian trilies. whose friendship he appears lo have won, all the successes of Hie allies failed to give perfect nssuranec that the struggle might not be renewed. Tho death of Lopez relieves the new Provisional Government, established nt Asuncion, from it3 fears, und enables the Allies to disband their forces, willi the certainty that they are no longer needed. Whatever cl imes may have been ascribed to Hie implacable Dictator by Ins enemies, it ainsi at least be said that Ibo unswerving devotion of thc Paraguayan peo? ple to Loppz himself, and to the cause for which he fought, finds but few parallels in history. Whatever may have been his motives for beginning the war which bas terminated so fatally for himself anti so dis? astrously to Paraguay, the protracled resis? tance which this petty and Isolated Stato offered to the combined forces of the Argen? tine Confederation and of thc Empire of Brazil-taxiug the powers of both to the utmost-must forever remain memorable in the aun?is of South America.

One of them wa3 a new constitu? tional amendment giving the United States the power "to protect each State against "domestic violence," and thc other, to in? quire whether corrupt means arc employed lo influence the vote of any senator on thc Georgia bill.
