They say that the companies flrarcolleet live cents rare from each passenger, and then charge tbe passenger one cent addition? al to cover the government tax, which is but -one-eighth of a cent, in this way they get from the passenger seven-eighths of a cent wrong? fully, which they do not pay to the government, andi hat the aggregate of this fund In New York amounts to over two million dollars per annum. -The New Yoi* Dally Bulletin says that while there are a good many merchants In town from the West and Northwest, Southern buyers ore still scarce. The editor Bays: "Various reasons are assigned for this apparent indifferenoe. It is ascribed by some to the political disturbances ^resulting from the fallare of attempts at recon <onstruetion ; by others to the heavy purchases made last fall in our market by that section, and which to a great extent remain undisposed of; and still by others to the proposed Investment of all the available capital lo cotton planting for the ensuing crop. However correct or otherwise taesaJieorie? may be, the fact remains that the Southern merchants who entered our market in the early part or the season have confined their purchase? to very limited amounts. While buy? ers from other sections are new here duplicating thelr;early bills, we have yet to hear of any no? ticeable similar transactions rrom the Southern trade!" -The announcement of "Lothalr," a new I novel by Benjamin Disraeli, bas caused quite a j sensation ta England, where novelists seldom | I become Prime Ministers. For twenty-three years the author of "Vivian Grey" has abandoned the flowery fields of romance for the dusty paths of politics. His last novel, "Tancred," was is? sued in 1847, and his long silence, as well as his political eminence, gives an unusual zest to the anticipation of "Lothalr." The Saturday Review says that all England will be excited over it in May, and another English journal states that a newspaper had offered the author ten thousand pounds for the privilege of publishing it in in? stalments. The Appletons have purchased the advance sheets of "Lothalr" at a high price, and will issue it simultaneously with its appearance in England in the first week in May. "Lothalr," the hero, is a young English nobleman of the highest rank, who, loft an orphan at an early age, is intrusted to the care of two guardians, one a Scottish clerk of the Presbyterian faith, and the other a Cardinal of the Catholic Church. The plot turns, in part.'on the struggle between these opposing forces, and embraces, besides, Fenian ism and various other piquant and interesting episodes. Some of (he prominent characters of the novel are Americans. Will Voa Walk into My Parlor ? The Reform movement in South Carolina hos already assumed such proportions that the corrupt officials, who have squandered the resources of the State, find it useless to pish! and pshaw! any longer. This, in truth, Li no time for joking. The Reformers are thoroughly in earnest, and the henchmen of the administration, whose lungs are sore with shouting the glory and the purity and the usefulness of the Scott government, now hoarsely whisper that Reform must be had, that abuses do exist, and that many mem? bers of the Party have proved themselves un? worthy to sit at ease once more in the legis? lative halls of the capitoL ? Senator Cain is not the only Republican who denounces dishonesty and roguery in high places. The record of the Scott gov? ernment is writen on the books of the Comp? troller and the Treasurer and the Financial Agent of the State. These are read with open eyes by men of all parties and all classes, and they prove that we must have economy and honesty or we shall perish. No gerrymandering can explain away the statement of the Comptroller-General, show? ing that the debt of the State has increased eight million dollars ia one year. No soft sawder can wipe out the remembrance of offi? cial stock-jobbing and dishonorable specu? lation. No hurrahing for the XVth amend? ment can make men forget the shameful scenes of bribery and corruption which made the last General Assembly a scandal and a shame to all good citizens. The broad, staring facts cannot be overcome, and now the Scott party say they are ready to point out the way to securing, beyond peradven? ture, Retrenchment and Reform. Warbling the'r ditties of good intentions, they invite the innocent fly to walk into the embraces of the bloated spider. They are pushed so hard that they publicly acknowledge the impor? tance of this work of purification and regen? eration. This is, already, one poiut gained. And how, according to the pleadings of the Scott party, are we to secure Retrench? ment and Reform ? In the first place, we must give up the ejection for Governor and Lieutenant-Goveruor, without a struggle. This we are not ready to do; for unless we give up the political ghost without a struggle, the Reform candidates will stand a good chance of defeating the Rascality candidates by several thousand majority. To say that we cannot, upon a Reform plat? form, change 15,000 or 20,000 Vote3 iu all South Carolina, is to say that our people have no hope, no energy, no life. Ia the second place, we are invited to be? come Republicans, so as to increase the number cf respectable men from whick Re? publican candidates may be chosen. This brazen proposition is neither more nor less than an admission that the Scott party has not respectability enough to hold it together. Even political bricks cannot be made with? out straw. Want of intelligence aud want of integrity are killing the Scott party, and while in a moribund condition we are re? quested to give the patient a healing dose of rectitude and sense. We say, Let this Scott clique die out. It has no stamina, no force, beyond that which plunder gives. And if we hold our hands, if we keep the tempter be? hind us, the good aud true men of tba State can give South Carolinaagovernment which shall fairly represent all classes of people, and carry on the government with sagacity, fru? gality and brain. The batlle is not joined between Democracy and Republicanism, but between purity and shame, between honesty ?and dishonesty, between skill and ignorance, An avoidance of National Politics, and a union of all good citizens, without regard to race, class or politics-these are the corner? stones of the fabric of Reform. But if the Scott party could succeed in persuading tho Reformers to style themselves Radicals, the wholo opposition would be paralyzed, the Scott faction would .carry the day in every county, "and the defeated remuant of the staunch white citizens would have before them the pleasing alternatives of emigration, starvation, or-more and more taxation, coupled wit h less progress and le33 protec? tion, and no hope of a change for the better. A New Way to Pay Old Debts. The action of the Executors of Gibbon, judgment creditors, in attaching the funds of the city held by the National banks, has crystallized public opinion, and will, it is be? lieved, lead to the adoption of an equitable plan for the rearrangement and extinction of tho city debt. Thc Court, on Saturday, did not decide what was thc difference be? tween an individual and a corporation with respect to tho assets in question, nor did it decide whether the Executors of Gibbon were pursuing the right direction ; but thc Court did decide that there was a statutory pledge of assets in the hands of thc City Council for the payment of a loan created by ordinance in 1857, and throughout the remarks nf the Court, as well as the argu? ments of counsel, there ran the general ad? mission that the city debt must, in some way, be paid. This, indeed, is the senti? ment of the whole community, which accepts two pointa as settled beyond dispute: 1, that tho debt must be honestly met; and 2, that there shall be no increase in taxation. We think that it may be assumed that no plan of adjustment, which does not include these essentials, will meet with public support. MOBS c: cite plans which have been sub? mitted for redeeming the debt contemplate its absorption by the issue of thirty-year non? taxable bond3, with interest and principal payable in gold; these bonds to be, in turu, redeemed by a special annual tax iu the nature of a sinking fuud. Another feat? ure of the most thoughtful scheme is a lirai tatton of the annual expenditures of the city, and a sale of the city assets. We confess that, in our judgment, there are many ob? jections to an exchange of the present debt for new bonds. It will be difficult to per? suade holders of city stock to make the exchange, and any chaffering would damage the credit of the city and increase its em? barrassments. For this reason the plan pro? posed by ex-Mayor Clark appears to be the best. That plan does not increase taxation, but proposes by economical management to pay the city interest, aud keep up a sinking fund of $100,000 a year, upon a gross taxa? tion of $800, COO. The assets of the city are valued by Mr. Clark at $1,500,000, and these, after proper legislation, he propdtes to sell, the proceeds to be applied to buying city stock in open market. Without going into details, it may be stated that, ' accord? ing to the estimate of Mr. Clark, the sinking fund and sale of city assets would pay off Sl,6!K>,000 of debt by the end of the first year, and would pay off the whole debt in less than fourteen year3. This plan is well worthy of the closest con? sideration, for if it will accomplish nearly as much as it promises, Charleston might, in a very few years, be so far out of debt as to be one of the most solvent and responsible of the cities of the South.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. Wc beg leave respectfully to call the attention of thc public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem it unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac. There is hardly a elty or town of any note in the country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand ls owing entirely to V their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further Improved their quality, and 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 ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least, this ls thc decision of the best judges In the coun? try. We don't pretend to compete In price with many of the HO-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quabty and style, wc defy competition. DAVIS A MILLER'S PURE YEAST POWDER.
