Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay, Charleston, S. C. THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1870. NB WS OF THE BAY. -Gold closed quiet and steady in Xew York yesterday at I3^aiax: -Cotton closed strong and lu gooj demand at 23??c. -In Liverpool yesterday cotton closed steady ; uplands HJid, Orleans llKallKd; sales 12,000 bates. -John Bright, by the advice of his physicians, reads no newspapers, and the consequent rest and freedom from excitement are having a most beneficial effect on his health. -A PhUadelphia lady, now residing in Paris, ad? vertises that she will hold herself in readiness to accompany American ladles visiting that city on their shopping excursions. -IC Is reported that an Immense "plceon roost'' has been established in Pennsylvania, commencing abont six miles cast of Sheffield, on the Philadelphia and Brie railroad, and extend? ing aearly one hundred miles, covering a tract of coon try some six miles in width. -Cavendish, the philosopher, invariably had a leg of mutton for his solitary dinner. On one oc? casion he announced to his servant that six gen? tlemen wero to dine with him on that day. "What am I to give them for dinner?" ejaculated the factotum In dismay; "one leg of mutton won't do for aix gentlemen." "Then give them six legs of mutton," was the philosophical reply. -Nilsson, the prima donna, lost her voice for a day or two recently, In consequence of her ner YOUS terror and anxiety at witnessing In thc .streets of Paris a fatal accident, by which a young aaa, mounted on a velocipede, was run down by a cirriage and killed on the spot. The opera In which she was announced to appear on the even? ing of the day of this disaster had to be postponed. -The King of Prussia recently visited a needle manufactory In his kingdom, and was shown a number of superfine needles, thousands of which together did not weigh half an ounce, and mar? velled how such minute articles could be pierced with an eye. The eye-borer asneo lor & u?u iroin thc King's head. He placed lt under the boaring machlne, made a hole In lt, furnished lt with a thread, and then handed the ttueaded hair to the King. -rae Captain-General cf Cuba telegraphs from Puerto Principe that the Insurgent forces under Maximo Gomlz and Modisto Diaz made an at? tempt to pass the Hues of Valmaseda's division, at Canto Abajo, with the object of invading the jurisdiction o? Bay amo. They were met by two Spauish battalions and repulsed, with the loss of ene hundred and seventy killed. The rebels fled In great confusion, and at last accounts were utterly disorganized. The dispatch of the Cap? tain-General gives no further particulars. -A band of brigands have succeeded lu making a good "haul" near Marathon. The Duke of Manchester's son, a Mr. Hubert, of the British Legation la Greece, aud Secretary Hazel, of the Italian Legation, have been carried off Into the mountains which "look on Marathon," and ?2000 la demanded by their captors as ransom. The Duke of Manchester could pay the money without missing it; but few people like to have black mall levied upon them bi thal fashion. Yet as the brigands have a trick of cutting off the cars of their captives il ransom ls not sent by a -certain date, it wlU probably be thought desira? ble ia this case to pay down the money and pocket the affront. -Onondaga County, New York, has recently been visited by a remarkable phenomenon of the earthquake order. A tract of laud containing about three acres, lying upon both sides of the highway, and situated about four miles south of Marcellus Village, at a placed called Tyler's Hol? low, was upheaved during the night by some sub? terranean force, the surface being piled Into hil? locks as high and as large as a house, and huge cracks and orevasscs were opened, which extend Irregularly all over it. The ground where the tract crosses the public road was thrown into thc i most fantastic shspes, rendering ihe road impas- , sable. The commissioners of highways were promptly notified, and the road is now being re? paired. It ls supposed the earthquake took place 1 about midnight, but no noise was heard lu the i vicinity, although some Inexplicable sounds were reported as being bearii at Marcellus. A strong smell or sulphur was noticed In the vicinity or . this remarkable occurrence, bat nothing further to Indicate the cause of the upheaval. The event bas produced great excitement In the vicinity, and hundreds of people have already visited the spot. -A thrilling scene occurred at the insane asylum, in Jacksonville, Illinois. A woman who ' bad been In the asylum for several years, escaped from her ward and went through the halls und l up the stairway that leads oat- upon the roof or the building. She wandered around upon the roof of the building until alie came to the edge of the cornice. After looking dewn for sometime she swung herself over the edge of the cornice by her hands, and swinging there she could Just | touch with her toes the cap above tho window or the firth-story, which was just below her. Having gotten a foothold thereon she let go her hands, and, strange to say, preserved her balance aud ' stood upon the cap, which ls about twelve-tuches i wide. While standing there she was discovered in her perilous situation. Immediately several men j went upon the roof and lot down n rop_, and tried to persuade her to fasten it around her. She would take hold of th? rope, thea lough at them, but re- 1 fused, to use lt. Meanwhile beds were brought 1 out and placed on th? ground live stories below ( ber, and In breathless suspense all who were on the ground awaited her fau. Nothing daunted, arter remaining on the window-cap for nearly a half hour, all or a sudden she grabbed the rope held bj the hands %r the men above and jumped off. They let the rope mn through their hands, and she held on until wiuitn thirty feet or the grounu, when she let go, aud t*n Upon the beds unhurt. During all thu time there was \uc most | thrilling suspense to all tho besoldet*, and glori- i ous relier at her eseape from such peril. -/What with an anticipated Fenian attack and the hope or subj ugo ti? j thc Red River Insurgents, Canada may be set down as having her hands tull or perplexities. The various heads of thc Domin? ion militia have held a consultation with refer - ence to the proposed expedition against the Wln nlpegcr.;, and olso to devise means to beat back the expected army la green, ir, perchance, it should make a raid. Cousequeu'ly proclamations are Issued, regiment? ?re called out, and govern? ment organs thunder with appeals to the people The avenging expedition to Rupert's Land will consist of wo regulars and roo Canadian volun? teers v4tn a 9tcel Datfery ! il ls rumored also that f0Ur companies of the Sixtieth Rifles, now at Otta? wa, and some of the Sixty-ninth and RUle Brigade w!'l he sent with a steel battery. The expedition i.j expected to leave on the 10th or May. It is ex? pected that General Lindsey will assume the Inactions or Governor or the Northwest Terri? tory arter the rebels arc subdued. With regard to the Fenian invasion, tho papers seem to bc divided in opinion about thc movement; several are sanguine that an attack is soon to bc made, while others pronounce the whole thing a "big scare." One or the Quebec papers, the Chronicle, seems to be Eick of this much marching and countermarching all to no purpose, and otters the suggestion that the government should hereafter make no preparations to prevent Fenians rrom getting into Canada, but wait till they come, and "then give them such a reception as those who survived would never rorget." But this would deprive the government of its brilliant occasional chance to show oir its vigilance and valor, at but little cost and no danger, since nothing is less likely than that a band ol armed Fenians will, a: present, show their races In Canada. Outlooks. Now that Hie Anti Radical Press has fair? ly taken its position, the time for a halting, hesitating policy has terminated. The policy it proposes is reasonable and clear, and just and equal. Its aim is to bring to an immediate end the wastefulness and corruption of thc State government, and in a time or change and confusion, and reneral pluuder, to establish just reforms. Unless honest oflicers can be secured in every department of civil administration, and that speedily, the State is irreparably ruined. The men who plead for masterly inactivity display an amazing ignorance of our situa? tion. They have no conception of that boundless extravagance which lia3 already in? gulfed millions, which has at once disor? ganized much of the labor, and wasted much of the capital needed for the rehabili? tation of the State, and which, unless it be checked by a prompt, and evea a daring policy, will soon absorb the resources of South Carolina, and leave to her citizens no alternative but beggary or exile. We have a great veneration for political philosophy, but not for that statesmanship which learu3 nothing from experience. We honor the past; but not when the past de? mands the sacrifice of the present abd the future. We respect the characters of some who advocate inaction; but weare doubtful' of their wisdom when they urge that a fire ought not to be extinguished until the house is burnt down, and that one's purse ought not to be guarded until it has been quite emptied by the hands of robbers. It may be that we shall fad in our effort for economy and reform. The tens of thous? ands of illiterate voters who will deposit their suffrages at the next election, may withstand all the appliances we can put in operation to save them from the worthless demagogues who assume the right to control their vote3. Offices may be filled by the in? competent, or created for the shameless. Superfluous hangers-on may continue to draw out the life of the State like hungry leeches. New monopolists may buy the pu'ulic domain, and. now vetoes may be framed to make them buy again, and thus the ring and its abettors may get richer and richer, and the people may become poorer and poorer. In this event, the responsibility will not rest upon ns. It will be a comfort, if we are defeated, to know that we have made a gallant fight, while others were pre? dicting disaster and reposing upon their arms. But beyond all just question, a great deal more than this can be done by a sagacious policy-a policy which contemplates the suc? cess of the party a3 a simple necessity, and which, for this object, will sacrifice pride and passion and personal ambition. In the divided state of Radicalism, the Citizens' Reform Party may adopt the resorts of a coalition, holding the balance of power. It must throw its votes where they shall not be lost; if not for the best candidate in this or that instance, then for the least object? ionable. It must conciliate the colored citi? zens not by mero professions, but by an actual enlistment of thc most reputable and Influential among them, by a participation in the emoluments and honors of office. The instinct of race i3 powerful. It must be ap? pealed to, and with special earnestness in those districts now controlled by political adventurers. And it must see to il that the polls are protected from invasion-that in? dependent colored voters who refuse to be dictated to by Radical caucuses and wire? pullers, may have access to the polls without encountering violence or intimidation on their way; and that non-residents and minors, and aliases, with a dozen names or more, may no longer pack their boxes with illegal votes. Policy and work will effect wonders. The only danger we apprehend arises from the machinations of timorous friends, who have "accepted the declaration of the Press "Conference," but who "regard the formation of "theCitizen^' Party asa grand mistake.'' United counsels are the esseutial condition of | success. We 3hall have enough to try our mettle, without having to encouuter a fire in the rear. Thc War in Cuba. The address of General Napoleon Arango to his countrymen in arni3, set3 forth t'.j opinions and convictions of one who en oraced the cause of the rebellion at thc very beginning, and has now surrendered himself under the amnesty proclamation of General De Roda3. General Arango believes that further resistance is useless, and that the success of the rebelliou is impossible, and urges his fellow-countrymen to lay down their arms and take advantage, as he has clone, of the clemency of the Spanish Gov arnment, which "is ready to draw a veil "over the past, provided the country can be "pacified, and many tears, much blood ami "loss of property be spared." A MEMBER of the Executive Committee of ?be Free Trade League was recently visited by the Republican assessor of his district, which is a rural one, who said, "Are you "the mau whose name I t-ee connected wilh ' v,e Free Trade League?" On receiving au aftimwiv(i replV) ]in remarked, "Well, I just "thoughtva clro;) in Rirl t3ll yoa lhat there "are fifty Rep^lican mm in our u:3tr:ct "who mean to vow.for frwtPafje ja3t "as they get a chance. . Tho Do-Nothings. ; . WE are heartily glad to leam that, io placing the Columbia Phoenix in the ranks of the Do-Nothings, we did that journal a grievous wrong. There can be no thorough reform in the administration of our State affairs, unless publicmen and public journals sink individual preferences and labor earnest? ly and harmoniously together. We have decided convictions of our own a3 to the line of policy and plan of action which must be adopted, if we expect and intend to win. But THE NEWS will support the platform aud the nominees of the June Convention, whatever and whoever they may be. And wc ask no more, or less, from- our brethren of the press. -?- ?o -?--' Reviews. TOM BROWN'S SCUOOL-BOT DAYS. By an Old Bov. Now edition. New York: Harper & Bros. 1870. The Rev. Thomas Hughes-or " Tom Hughes," as he is affectionately called on both sides of the Atlantic-is the preacher of a doctrine of mental and physical culture which is as free from mawkishness on one side as from beefy muscularity on the other. Tom Brown's School Days is only thc story of the experiences of a Rugby scholar while the lamented Dr. Arnold was head of that well-known public school, bul it is as fresh as the breezes which blow over the Downs of Berkshire, and as stirring and exciting as the 'scapes of Hood and held. Tho whole tone of the book is healthy and vigorous, and thc man who can read it, or the boy who can read it, and not be cheered and strengthened, must be nearly past praying for. In England this book is a classic, and apart from its literary merit aud its value as a picture of the eternal freshness of many of the phases of an older civilization, it de? serves to pass to a seventh American edition for the benefit of the hollow-eyed, narrow breasted men who know nothing of the sound strength and manly spirit which were born of English public-schools, before the dull days of feverish cramming and competi? tive examinations. The book is well printed and handsomely illustrated. For sale iu Charleston by Mr. Edward Perry, Meeting street. TUB BAZAR BOOK OF DECORUM-The Care of the Person, Manners, Etiquette and Cere? monials. New York: Harper & Bros. 1870. This book is said by the author to be an attempt "to raise the subject of which it "treats to its proper connection witli health, '.'morals and good taste.". There is certainly a great deal of sound sense in the book, and if it should not prove an infallible guide upon all occasions, the reason is that no royal road can be found to good manuers and de? corum. We may safely say that it is the best Book of Decorum which has come un? der our uot'tce. For sale in Charleston by Mr. Edward Perry, Meeting street Richland ts Awake. The Columbia Phoenix of yesterday says: "We notice that steps are elsewhere taken to arrange for delegates to the convention to bc held in this city, in June next. In this movement, all citizens, regardless of color, op? posed to the present Radical regime, are in? vited to unite. We hope that every county will be fully represented. Richland will bc represented. The political duty of the hour ls before us. It ls to make a vigorous effort in behalf of reform in our government.

Discoursing about Georgia and the plans of her carpet-baggers, the New York Tri? bune gives tlie Builockitcs a socU-dologer in this wise : "When you go to the bottom of the case, you flud the argument for further reconstruc? tion amounting to Just this: "If you allow the "people of Georgia to elect new rulers, they "won't elect tts." We presume that is so. But we caunol forever keep the boy out of the water because he lins not learned to swim. Tlie time must come when Georgia will bc governed ns her people shall see fit.

We carried the country in I SCO largely on thc strength of Hie rebel massacre in New Orleans. Thc Georgia rebels helped us immensely in '8C8. If they want to run their heads agalnsl a stone wall in 1S70, they ought to have a chalice. Anti they are quite as likely to do it in Georgia as anywhere else. "Finally, let us have done with reconstruc? tion. The country is tired and sick ol'it. So long as any State is held in abeyance, it will be plausibly urged that the Republicans are afraid to trust thc people. Let us give every State to herself, and then punish any who vio? late or defy thc guarantees of public and per? sonal rights now firmly imbedded in the con stituUou. LET cs HAVE PEACE." TUE Washington correspondent of the New York World, writing on Sunday last, says : "A number of leading politicians in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, are taking ground in favor ol independent and re? form movements entirely separate from pres? ent political organizations, in order to secure a release or the people in these Stales from the corrupt Radical rings which are rapidly bank? rupting tho Southern States. In South Caro? lina a citizens'ticket has rccenlly been elect? ed in Camden, and it is said that Inc move? ment is spreading rapidly over thal State, and will be entirely successful. A similar move is proposed for Georgia. In North Carolina the plan ls to run independent men in opposition to the Holden dynasty, and il is understood that leading Republicans of North Carolina, some of whom are In Congress, are quite ready lo go into thc movement willi a view to relorm the present dynasty, and secure a good State government. It ls believed that in each of these Slates this movement will bc success? ful, as were similar organizations in Virginia and Tennessee, in rescuing those States from political banditti." ?nmber, iruel, &t.
