Qaesada, at the rooms of the ' Junta, 71 Broadway, with reference to tho futuro : plan of campaign. General Jordan expresses the utmost confidence in the ultimate success or the lasiwrectlon, and acknowledges that the chief ob? ject or his errand to the Un 1 ted State ls to make an appeal to ta<r American people in aid of the ' oauss" -A New York letter of Saturday says: "The ' week, all things considered, has been a satisfac? tory one, as regards business affairs. Large amounts of merchandise have been forwarded to points West, South and Southwest, and many of the leading houses, in the dry goods, boots and shoes, hardware, grocery, and other branches or wholesale trade, report heavy orders still on hand to dsn ulled. Prices for nearly all staple - goods are called firm. The retail dealers are not doing so well, and with few exceptions, com? plaints of the backwardness of spring trade are still indulged In." * -The American Pharmaceutical Association, 11 session last week at Washington, adopted a plan for the r?vision of the Pharm ace posa or the Quited States. 'Among the instructions to the revising oommltteeawas one directing the aban? donment or measures of capacity, and the ex pression of quantities in all formulas by weights -and in .esma! parts, by weight.. The commlt ' tee of rovudott ls to sit in Philadelphia, and ls to be composed of fifteen members, among whom are Doctors Joseph Carson, George B. Wood, W. S.W., Sasohenberger and Robert Bridges, and Messrs. Alfred B. Taylor and John M. Malsoh. " -The rents in New Torkfand Brooklyn, partie ' ular ly those of expensive ?tores, it is asserted, have been reduced from twenty-five to thirty per ?cent. It ia alleged that landlords who have held ont for high rents have n?t succeeded in renting .-. their stores, which will remain "vacant daring the coming year. Very high-priced dwelling houses cannot be rented for a fair interest on their cost, j but tbs rents or moderate-priced booses and ten- ' .ement nouses have not been seriously affected. The rents of the lower order of tenement houses Lu reference to the accommodations offered, lt ls asserted, are .extortionate, the landlords obtain ? tug twenty-fire and thirty per cent in addition . .. to the taxes. -The New York Sun publishes a statement that a scheme is ready for consnmmatlou to sell Cuba ta tke noted Spanish volunteers of the Island, in order that they may seU it to tho United States. The project, lt ls said, has the advocacy and co? op?ration or Secretary Fish, who ls said to make ne secret of his opilen that it offers the best pos elble solnUen of the whole Cuban question. The price to be paid to Spam, ls one hundred millions of dollars, ons-ten th in cash, and the remainder in bonds tobe guaranteed, ir possible, by the United States. Whether the Island is to be sold --to this country at the same rate, or at an en? hanced prise, docs not .appear aa yet to be deter i mined. -There is a woman in Jollst with a lew em . phatic ideas on the topies. which agitate the J bosoms of a portion er her sex, and she talks in this way: "I jost don't believe in these new wo? men notions. I have, raised six boys-four or them vote now, and the others wUl soon be old ?enough. Then I wilt nave six votes. Now these j good-for-nothing women who have fooled their I time away, and never raised a single boy, come around and want every woman to vote for her? self. I don't believe In such nonsense. I have raised my six boys, and I am going to have every one vote for me. Those women who go lecturing around the country instead of raising boys, have no business to vote anyway. And when they say that they are Just as good asl am, and have a right to vote themselves, ir they have no boya to do so for thom, it ls not true, ir they are as smart as I am, why did they not raise some boys to vote for them r I tell yon, I do not Intend to be cheated out or my six votes by any such good-for-nothing folks. I guess that the world would come to a pretty pass, in a mighty short time, If the women all took to goln' around lecturing on wimmln's rights, instead of raising boys." ? -It ls about "neck and neck" between warlike inventions for offence and those for defence. Rifle guns abolished wooden ships, and plate armor* opposed itself to the new cannon. But \ captain Ericsson, wno, made the last and greatest revelation In naval archttectur hen he invented the monitor, now announce*, in the Army and Navy Journal, that he bas perfected a system or torpedo practice which can be nsed success? fully to destroy the largest and strongest iron-clad afloat. He offen to build and equip one of hts torpedo boats, at bis own expense, ir the British Admiralty will give him. the privilege of one or two shots at the great Iron-clad Devastation; or he will test his Invention on any other crart worthy of his powder. The great difficulty which Captain Ericsson claims to have overcome ts that of getting the torpedo under the vessel to be blown up. The manner lu which he dojs this is to fix a delicately seda? tive percussion cap in the end of an elongated shell containing three hundred pounds or dynam? ite, which he Ores from a fifteen Inch gun at such an elevation as to strike the hull of the hostile vessel beneath the water-line. Tho guu ls carried 1 tn oue of his turret boats. The Importance or this Invention cannot be over estimated, and ir lt realizes the claims or its Inventor, Captain Ericsson may be called the great destructor of the age._ "Won't Accept tho Situation." The Horry Newe says very frankly that the people of Horry "won't accept the situa " tlon;" and it is very evident that the whole county is in a bad way. And no wonder. The white voters in Horry outnumber the colored voters three to one. They have the power in their own hands, and can tide roughshod over the prostrate minority. They have been taught that minorities have no rights. Year after year they have seen the Scott administration, hooting at respectabil? ity and growing fat by pandering to vice. No regard has been paid to intelligence or wealth. The Scott administration, as the representatives of a majority in numbers, cared nota fig for tho white population, their interests or their feelings. Why, then, should not Horry-where the whites, within the law, are omnipotent-accept the situa? tion, and mete out as has been meted to the masses of the people ? But the people of Horry are straightfor? ward and honest. They like to seo every class protected by proper representation, and have, of their own accord, given the col? ored people a voice in the local affaire of the county. Only the other day the white voters elected a colored man one of the board of Behool trustees of Horry Township, and the person so elected was ono who sate in the famous Reconstruction Convention. Horry "won't accept the (Scott) situa "tion." It does unto others aa it would be done onto, and, by the votes of a white ma? jority, elects a colored Republican to an im? portant local office. Jute for Gunny Cloth. The Sooth has annually to import from the antipodes the material with which to cover her cotton crop and render it marketable, and during this summer she will spend up? wards of $7,000,000 for gunny cloth alone. -Now, all of this large amount of money could be.saved by the cultivation of jute, and the manufacture of the cloth at borne. Having this end in view, Hon. Horace Ca? pron, Commissioner of Agriculture, has im? ported a quantity of the seed of the jute plant, and.some of ; iL may be had from him, upon application. - "? The jute will flourish anywhere south of the 33d parallel of latitude, but is sensible of cold. The seed should be planted about the same time as corn, and tho plant. will flower about the beginning of August, when the tops should be cut off. A month later the entire plant should be steeped in water for a week, when the bark will Blip off. The fibrous interior is then tied up in bundles of about 75 Btalks each, and is ready for mar? ket It finds a quick sale at the ports, and is now quoted in New York at 7 cents per pound. The introduction of this new fibrous staple is of great importance to the South, os lt will render her independent of the world, ns to her annual supply of bagging. If all the jute required for her consumption was grown and manufactured in ber own limits, her 'planters would obtain their bagging at about ten or twelve cents per yard, and would not be snbjected to the high prices consequent upon a small supply on hand. Ia 1866, bag? ging advanced to forty-three (43) cents per yard ; and this summer the supply on hand, and expected, is smaller than it was then, and we have reason to anticipate an ad? vance in price, perhaps even beyond that of 1866. . There are now thirty (30) jute mills at work in this country, which will turn ont for 1870 about 24,000 bales of gunny cloth; and if the staple mentioned was grown in the South, as it can bc, tho number of mills I and amonnt of their product would soon be increased sufficiently to supply all the bag? ging needed by the South. Onr planters will do well to obtain some of the seed and give this new staple a fair trial. It may prove of great benefit to the whole South. The Blue Ridge Bonds. The sections of the State Constitution cit? ed by our Columbia correspondent, os pro? hibiting the endorsement by the State of rail? road bonds, are as follows: "ARTICLE IX-SECTION 10. No scrip, certifi? cate or other evidence of Stope indebtedness shall be issued, except for the redemption of stock, bonds or other evidenoes of Indebted? ness previously issued, or for such debts as are expressly authorized la this constitution. "ARTICLE IX-SECTION n. Any debt con? tracted by the Statu shall bo by loan on State bonds, of amounts not less than fifty dollars each, on interest, payable within twenty years after the final passage of the law authorizing such debt." * * * .* The act to grant additional aid to tl^e Blue Ridge Railroad Company in South Carolina, approved September 15, 1868, de? clares (section 2) that "the faith and the "funds of the State of South Carolina be and "the same are hereby pledged io secure tho "punctual payment ot any contracts which "shall be made by the Blue Ridge Railroad "Company in South Carolina'' to an amount not exceeding four millions of dollars. We have no desire to hamper the opera? tions of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, I bat if the guarantee by the State of the four million dollars of Blue Ridge Railroad bonds is indeed n constitutional, it is better for all partie? '\at the truth be known at once. IN one of the country districts a colored man was arrested on a charge, made by his sister, that lie had stolon four eggs. He was committed to prison, but succeeded in making his escape, by breaking out of the prison where he was confined. Ve under? stand that this crime against the peace and dignity of the 5ta'.e w'?l ces . the taxpayers sevtnty-fivi Collars! Pretty dear eggs! Blore Taxes. The State tax on 430 acres of land, most? ly unproductive, on Capers's Island, about thirty miles, by water, from Charleston, i3 nearly ten times 04 much as it was fonr years ago. In I860 the tax was $3; in 1867 the tax was $9, and in 1SG8, (the Scott adminis? tration,) the tax was $29 li). For the laBt named year the* land was totally unproduc? tive, not having been planted. These ?gure3 are more potent thau big speeches. A tax-burdened people cries out for Retrenchment and Reform. Thc Juno Convention. The Marlon Star says: "We urge upon all "good citizens opposed to our present cor " rupt government to attend the meeting in " their respective school districts on the 14th "instant, and vote for four good honest "men, irrespective of race, color or party, to " attend the county meeting on the 25th. We "would suggest, if possible, the election of "two white and two colored men. Let us "all, shoulder to shoulder, make one grand "effort for the salvation of our State." ?Tg ?0008, Ut. R.
