Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay, Charleston. S. C FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1870. y EWS OE THE DAT. -Gold at New York yesterday, after violent fluctuations and reaching 15K. closed at MJf. -The New York cotton market was quiet ; sales 1900 bales at 23?; cents. -At Liverpool cotton was steady at liaii'.d; Orleans ll?i; sales 10,000 bales, including 3000 for speculation and export. -In California the Japanese have set out 300,000 tea plants at CallBtoga. -Fifty-three thousand colored emigrants have passed through Memphis in live months. -The Governor of New York has signed the Eight-hour Labor law, and issues a proclamation lor its enforcemeet and observance. -The Pneumatic Railway tunnet bill ha3 been defeated la the New York State Senate. This ls the company that has been boring secretly under Broadway, in New York city. -It ls stated that In the villages of New Eng? land, where the alaine Law ls enforced, the in? crease in the sale of opium is so large as to attract attention. -Disraeli's new novel, "Lothair," ls to be pub Ushed In this country by the Appletons. It ls said to treat of the political and social questions of the day. -A native Hindoo reformer ls creating a sensa? tion In London, by denouncing idol worship and preaching in support of the slugle deity theory, but without embracing Christianity. -Mrs. Lynch, who was captured with the Lo? pez family, ls said to be a beautiful French wo? man, who acquired considerable wealth and re? nown in Paraguay, and whose husband was aa oil cor ia the English navy. -The government of Porto Rico has levied an Important tax of twenty-five cents per copy on all newspapers from the United States. Compe? tition is therefore very effectually prohibited, and the Porto Rico Journals win nourish. -General Bragg has been removed by the New Orleans authorities from the office or controller or the water-works or that city, and a few days ago he turned over to his successor, a mulatto, public property to the value of two millions or dollars. -The Toledo Blade says that recently there ar? rived in that city, In & freight train on the Wabash Railroad, seven car loads or eggs. There were In each car 125 barrels, oc875 barrels in all. Allowing 120 dozen eggs In each barrel, there were 1,280, 000 eggs on board that train. -A Key West special contains the following news from Havana: 1 Count Valmaseda and the political Governor of Santiago refuse to obey or- 1 ders from the Captain-General and from Madrid. 1 The Governor of Castle Cubanos, also declines to 1 receive orders from General Carbo, whoendeav- j ored to take possession of the fortress yesterday. The Spaniards have been routed by the Insurgents everywhere, and the destruction to property In 1 the Cinco Tillas district ls Immense. The Cap? tain-General was expected to return to Havana to-day to re-establish Spanish authority." -The records or births, deaths and marriages in Massachusetts during the past year develop some curious facts. A comparison between the mar- ' rlages of American and foreign-born persons In the State, and the births la the families of the sam1 extraction, show that while there were ; twice as many "American" as "foreign" marria? ges, there were more children bora of the latter ' parentage than of the former. In Boston, the ' two classes of marriages were about equal lu l ?amber; but the births or foreign were as 7 to 3 ? of American pat ?ntage. -The reported ' interview" with General George E. Pickett and the reporter of the New York Sun, 1 turns out, as most of the reported "interviews," to be untrue. The General, in a letter, says that the fellow was either imposed upon by some one ? who passed himself off aa General Pickett, or else made up the story out or whole cloth; nor baa the General gone to Egypt as was stated, but 1 Ison his way back to Richmond, not having a desire to quit his native State, while he can find a home within her borders, which lt ls hoped she win always be able to afford him and all her gal? lant sons. -A New York letter or Monday last says: "The steamship City of Brooklyn, from Liverpool, this afternoon, brings twelve hondred and twenty nine passengers. The succeeding steamers of the same line are said to have like numbers engaged for four or five weeks ahead. Since Wednesday last, the arrivals at Castle Garden have been be? tween eight and nine thousand. It ls gratifying to have a semi-official assurance that these new comers, as a general rule, have a larger share of this world's goods than usually falls to their lot. A large proportion of those brought by the City of Brooklyn are English and Scotch, who are going to Virginia as farmers. -A singular incident took place at the last re? view by the Emperor Napoleon in Paris. Just when the Emperor had reached the last rank or the troops, an indlvidnal In rag3 rushed forward in front of the gate, and vocirerated loudly in a threatening tone, "A Cayenne.' a Cayenne I" He was Immediately apprehended and taken to the nearest police office. Upon being searched 1100 francs were found in an old leather purse in one of his pockets, an inscription of Rente to au amount of 30,000 francs, and a knife poniard. A perquisition made at bis residence led to thc dis? covery of a large store or arms of all sorts, and of a Bum or 60,090 francs in gold. Being asked as to his motive for insulting the Emperor, he re? plied that his patriotic heart revolted at the ac? clamations or the multitude. -Some rich developments are likely to be dis? closed In the Wood-Howard Freedmen's Bureau Investigation befare Its close. The witnesses ex? amined thus iar, according to their own state? ments, have given testimony which is anything but favorable to Howard. It ls not denied that he, as commissioner or this ornamental ratber than practicable piece or government furniture, disposed of millions upon millions or the public money. The prosecution think they have clearly shown that he was largely Interested In the manufacture of the patent brick out or which the Howard University is constructed; that the money far these brick was paid out or the Bureau funds and put Into the pockets or General Howard and his associates. It is also apparent that at the expense of the Bu? reau he erected a private residence upon the ground purchased for the University. Builders and architects have testified to the fact that the material known as the patent brick, out of which the university building was constructed, ls .worth? less Cor building purposes, and that it would not answer for private dwellings, much less for a large public building. It was also developed in the exam? ination yesterday that the general had given ten thousand dollars' worth of church bouds to a private colored school in Richmond, which school had no connection whatever with the Freedmen"s Bureau, and which bonds had no marketable value, but represented real money which be? longed to the bureau. lt rs said the prosecution has evidence of a si ill more damaging character, which they will produce in due time. Howard's friends are making a desperate effort to exonerate him. How successful lt will bc remains for the future, as the investigation will last for some time. The College aad the University. Considerable attention and remark have been excited by the Baptist Educational Con? vention which has just had its session in Brooklyn, and in particular by Dr. Ander? son's paper on the Modem University, which the secular press has published in full. This address displays the widest and nolJest range of scholarship. Dr. Anderson contends that the peculiari? ties of our higher system of education, as distinguished from that of England and Ger? many, are so rooted in the history, expres? sive of the spirit demanded by the cir? cumstances of American life, that a radical change is not to^be expected or desired. Upon the American plan lie would, howerer, engraft the system of fellowships from Oxford and Cambridge, and of the lectures upon literature, history and the like, in connection with professional studies, as in the great con? tinental universities. With us, the first three years of college drill represent, in a feeble wa}r, indeed, the splendid discipline of the German gymnasium ; the last year the am? pler scope of the university. The lecturer, in the course of his remarks, elaborately criticised the sophisms which Mr. Lowe has urged against the collegiate system. To the objection of that gentla mau that, now-a-days, things should be taught rather than words, the reply is that any science is acquired and held in posses? sion only by a mastery of its terminology; that philology is itself the most magnificent of the sciences, and that the words of every language embalm the thought and life oj the people who have used it. To the objection that things practical, not speculative, ought to be taught, the reply is that whatever most powerfully influences practical life, controls nature, perfects laws and shapes the charac? ters and the?ii3tory of men, comes from the region of ideas. To the objection that the educator must leach truth rather than false? hood, ihe reply is, that truth is never ade? quately appreciated except when viewed in contrast with its opposing errors, and that some of the most instructive monuments of the social and political li''e of nations, are preserv? ed in their ballads, legends and mythologies. To the objection that a'knowledge of the the present is better than a knowledge of the past, ^the reply is, that the two cannot be separated, for the origin, history and laws of growth of the present must be found in the past. And oftentimes, as the lecturer might have added, the past anticipates the present, as the struggling Greek republics of Thucydides throw light upon the recent civil contest in which the provincial wars of Athens and Sparta were renewed upon the battle-fields of a continent. According to Dr. Anderson, the "college curriculum should bo completed at the age of twentj'-one; the university course should not extend beyond the age of twenty-five. But whether his programme can be embraced within these limits may, perhaps, admit of doubt. Forhe advocates the introduction ot the scholastic Latin into which Christian thought introduced so many new words and idioms, and of the Anglo-Saxon aad Norman French, among the ancieut lunguages; and the addition of various modern languages with their etymological connections, the English, of course, having the first place, as a necessary part of the collegiate instruc? tion. He would have more attention paid to Christian literature and to art culture, with illustrations of casts and photographs, j But the physical sciences, to which so much importance is now attached, he would prefer to have taught in their general principles, without overburdening the memory with de? tails which the material investigations of the tige are multiplying so rapidly as to put them beyond the grasp of the non-professional student. We do not altogether coincide with the lecturer in this conclusion; but we can? not withhold our admiration for tho schol? arly enthusiasm and fertility of argtinietti 1 and illustration with which he maintains bid cause. In conclusion. Dr. Anderson justly insists that the best men tn the country should be its educators. The book or the course is less important than the instructor. No expense should be spared to secure competent teach? ers. It is wrong that a professor t>! the high? est reputation should receive a smaller sal? ary than a confidential clerk. With us, the university depends, for its support, upon the voluntary principle, and the only condition upon which we can enjoy that high intellec? tual, moral and professional education for which the President of Rochester pleads, is the ample endowment of such institutions. There is no nobler use of wealth, whether ita favored possessor aspires to preseut useful? ness or enduring fame. The point ?3 so well taken that we can but wonder at the oppo? sition to it by a thoughtful contemporary, the World, which contends that to pay teachers well is to injure the cause of educa? tion. It may be that, in this ca3e, persons who are not qualified for teachers will aspire to the emoluments of the office; but will not the same principle apply to every other pro? fession as well ? Surely our critic forgets that the editor is also an educator, as well as the student whose face thins and blanches iu the rays of the midnight lamp. Dana to Meet his Match. We are heartily glad to anuounce that John Russell Young, the ablest and most brilliant of the rising journalists of the day, is about lo start a daily morning newspaper, to be called The Neve York Standard. The new venture, we are told, is amply backed by "cash, brains and experience;" and we are much mistaken if Mr. Young does not make things lively for his merciless and ma? lignant persecutor, Dana, of The Sun, whom he will now bc able to meet on something like equal ground. The very notoriety which Dana's abuse has given to h?3 accomplished adversary, will help to make The Standard aa assured success from the outset. On? More Unfortunate! The sprightly Winnsboro' ^eicssays: "We "are singularly constituted in not immedi "ately accepting the merely plausible view "of almost any subject, and have found our? selves iu a minority of one iu approving of "what our contemporaries have unanimously dubbed 'the infamous coin-bill,' in protest? ing against the State press, in the matter "of University and State education gene? rally, not being satisfied, and not letting "well enough alone; and now, in pronounc? ing the law exempting manufacturers from "taxation for live years the very worst law "of thc last session, and a very Pandora's "box of infinite corruption and evil, we be "lieve that we stand alone. If manufactures "cannot grow up spontaneously and profita "bly in South Carolina, artificial props and "aids will not assist in their healthy devel? opment, any more than stimulants and too "high a diet will contribute to the vigorous "growth of childhood." It is so pleasant for THE CHARLESTON NEWS to be thoroughly in acconl with the Winnsboro' News, that we are tempted to remind the sage of Fairfield that this is a Freo Trade paper, which argues that South Carolina can become a manufacturing State, for the simple reason?that yarns can be made here more cheaply than iu Lowell or Lan? cashire. The exemption of manufactures from taxation is direct Protection to the ex? tent of the tax which is remitted, and is, in tho same degree, a tax on the whole people for the benefit of a few manufacturera. In this matter, the Winnsboro' ?vetos docs net stand alone. _____ TUE Union Times shows that the present cost of the State Constabulary system is $31,500 a year, including the salary of Chief Constable Hubbard. This large amount is paid by the whole Slate, the counties which have no resident State Constables paying for those which, in this particular, are more favored, if less blessed. MR JAME? T. WELSMAN, of this city, has been elected by the Board .of Directors the Treasurer of the South Carolina Railroad Company. Mr. Welsmau is a gentleman of large mercantile awl commercial experience, and will strengthen materially the manage? ment of the company. The Union Times promises that it will soon be one of the most valuable and inter? esting papers in the country. We can very well believe it. The Times is at this mo? ment a flourishing journal, and i3 gaining every day in strength and worth. .financial. y A K T : D! South Carolina STATE BONDS. Charleston aad Savannah Railroad, past due.
