From Ireland and Germany Came five thousand, In about equal proportions, while England and Sweden had the balk of the remainder. Large numbers of emigrants from Germany are arriving at Bal? timore, so far this season, also by theist earners of the Baltimore and Bremen line. ..-The first step la the suit brought by the Campbell heirs, who claim over one half of tho City of Louisville-three thousand acres, valued at seventy million dollars-was taken on Friday; the chancellor granting aa injunction preventing the city from tearing ^ down some buildings on property purchased .hy the city for wharf purposes. All back rents for a term of years will be sued for, so that the ?nit will be for fully one hundred million dol? lars. The defendants number over two thou? sand. The suit ls creating much excitement. -Governor Hoffman, of New York, hos vetoed the Arcade Railroad bill. The Governor makes thirteen objections to the bill, all of which are forcible and sensible. He says that the bill does not compel the company to ext ead the road to the upper part of the island; that the Arcade plan ls an experiment on which the .opinions of engineers differ; and that If, on trial, lt should be found to work a great de-1 struction of property, there ls nothing in the bill to compel the corporators to repair their mischief and restore the streei. -The merchants and planters of Southwest? ern Virginia and Tennessee are to hold a connell of peace at White Sulphur Springs some time In June, to establish closer relations with each other, and consider the state of the , marketa and geLeral prospects of trade for the current year. One of the objects ot the con? ference, as lt appears from the comments in the Virginia newspapers, ls to re-establish the trade of the Virginia cities, and persuade the Southwestern buyers, that lt ls no longer ne? cessary for them to go to Baltimore and New York for their supplies. -Mr. Tom Allen, who signs himself "Cham? pion of America*" by permission of Mr. James Mace, "champion of the world," has issued a I challenge to all professional bruisers, except Maoe and Hccnan, to fight for $5000 or less.

Mace for* $5000 and the championship, all I have to .say ls, that I did my best to win my friends' .money .who backed nae, and that I fought os well as I knew how-to fight. Mace outfought -me and won. I was beaten, and lost, and :have no excase to make; but everybody kaows that both coalda't win." The St. Louis papers contain detailed ac? counts of the horrible railroad slaughter on 'the Missouri Pacific Railroad, Thursday morn? ing, which places the blame for the coll isioa upoa the conductor of the freight train. He -was authorized to use thirty minutes of the express train's time, the latter bel?g late, but exceeded lt, and was nianing, lt is said, forty -?ve minutes on the time of the express, when the crash occurred, trying to reach another etatioo. The sceue at the wreck was frlghtiul. .Cars were telescoped together, aud their in? mates crushed aide by side in one indescribable agony. Before the relief train reached the spot, the citizens near by bad gathered, and, directed by two doctors, had made good prog? ress in removing the killed and wounded, and cari ng for the latter. The bedding and mat? tresses from the sleeping cars were brought out for the wounded to rest 00, and Hat, cov? erlets and quilts were liberally provided by the I neighbors. The wounded were brought to St. Louis and removed on stretchers to t .ie hospi? tal, the immense crowd which had gathered lending willing hands. -The New York Foundling Hospital prom? ises to bo one of the leading charities ot New York, and, under the management of those indefatigable workers, she Sisters of Charity, must ultimately prove <-. success. Thirteen foundlings were received by the asylum last week, and cared for by thc Sisters. The reg? ular visiting day is on Tuesday, when the building is thronged with the cu? rious and charitable, anxious to assist or get a look at thc babies - generally the latter. Many of thc first ladies ot' the city and Brooklyn are associated with this divine benevolence-rescuing Innocent babes from misery and death-and are diligent, enthusias? tic, and never-wearying laborers in the good cause. On thc last visiting day but one, a dead baby was, for the first time, seen by the numerous visitors, although thi Sisters are fa? miliar with the last quiet repose of the little innocents. It was laid out in a neat, plain dress of white muslin, the waxen face calm in the purity of death, and the pale brow, slightly shaded by a few thin baby locks that laid soft on Its marble forehead, looked serene and peaceful, as if no suffering had ever contracted the pearl-like leatures. A pair of little hands were meekly folded over its breast; the stiff tiny fingers, loosely holding a dainty cluster of snow-drops, seemed but a part of the little corpse they so fittingly adorned. The South and Free Trade. The Philadelphia North American prints an article from the V*'innsboro', S. C., Noes upon the subject of cotton, manufactures., and accepts it as au indication that "the " Southern mind is beginning to approach " the idea of protective duties as more bene " ficial than free trade, even to agricultural " communities." The North American then says: "It ls a little curious to notice how the South Carolinian, with all his prejudice, comes really to the very ground we have long defended. He ls In favor of introducing manufactures here rather than feeding them abroad. This is the argument we have made time out of mind. He alleges that there are peculiar ad? vantages in this country for manufacturing, that render it expedient and necessary. He finds that as*the manufactures increase immi? gration will do the same, and be of a better or? der. He alleges that manufacturing is better for a community than simple agriculture, and anticipates a popular understanding of the matter soon, and favorable action" following." It ought to be unnecessary to point out to the North American the wide difference be? tween the Protection of which it is the champion, and the Free Trade advocated by our Winnsboro* namesake. The Winnsboro1 News urge-, the establishment of cotton man? ufactories in the South because yarns and coarse cloths can be manufactured more cheaply in the Southern States than in the North or West. And it said emphatically: " If it were not true that we have a margin " of profit of five cents on each pound in our " favor over all the world in this branch of " manufacturing, we would not urge it." The establishment of cotton manufactories in the South is urged and recommended, be? cause, by that moans, the Southern people will be able to boy cotton goods at a lower price than that at which New England and British yarns and cloths are selling. We all appreciate the value of mills and facto? ries in giving employment lo labor and ac? tivity to capital, but "tho greatest good of ?' the greatest number" is the cardinal max? im of Free Trade; and unless we could man? ufacture cotton goods in the9 South so as to sell them at a lower price than the New Eng? land-made goods, we should not have a word to say in favor of cotton manufactories in the South. We may add, for the information of the North American, that we need no Protec? tion in South Carolina. We can sell the South Carolina yarns at the cost of the Northern yarns and make a profit of five cents a pound, and we have sold South Caro? lina yarns in England so os to yield a net profit Of FOUR AND A QUARTER CENTS a pOUIld. This is profit enough. More than this, it is a proof that our people, because of the ab? sence of cotton mills iu the South, are losing four or Ove cents a pound upon ali tho yams they use. New England does need Protec? tion, or the South in time will drive her from her chosen field. Can it not. then, be arranged, by a new constitutional amendment or otherwise, to put a Protective duty of five cents a pound on Southern yarns, so that none of them shall be sold to the disadvan? tage of Massachusetts and Rhode Island ? What the South demands is Free Trade. Give us our implements and our machinery, our metals and tools, free of duty; throw open to our people the markets of Europe; and we will soon show the world how much latent life and energy is possessed by S! ese quiet people of the South. How Is This for High ? The Scott Riug deny that South Carolina is heavily taxed Let us see. The taxes levied upon the people of the State last year were as follows: For poll tax.$ 70,748 " State 14 . 1,263,259 ?. County " . . 501,0117 Total.$1,835,104 The assessed value of all the real and per? sonal property ft the State is as follows: Real property.$125,171,088 Personal " . 38,851,2?4 Total.$164,092,342 The State and C( un^.y tax last year was more than ONE PER CENT, upon the assess? ed value of alt the real and personal proper? ty in the State. Ttnyeaisago the entire State taxation was $S07,000. This year the taxation is more than double mat amount. The total expenditures of the State (ex? clusive of interest) were $154,800 in 1867, and are $611,890 iu 1870. The General Assembly costs $115,006 iu stead-of $13,000. The salaries (of Scott & Co.) amount to $167,000, instead of $50,000. The expenditures for thc fiscal year, end? ing ' October 31, 1869, were estimated at $244,000, but $363,000 was actually spent. The current expenditures for State pur? poses in 1869, (the second year of the Scott Ring,) were $300,000 more than in (the first year of the Scott 'ling) 1868. The debt of the State is-supposing we wipe out the $4,0?j0,000 of Blue Ridge bonds -at least FOUR AND A HALE MILLIONS more than it was in 1869. And yet the Ring say that we are not tax? ed, and that there is no urgent need of Re? trenchment and Reform. A Great Invention-The Separating Cot? ton Oin. Thc newspapers of the Southwest bring ns glowing-accounts of the performances of a new cotton gin, which bas just been tested in St Louis. The machine was invented and patented five years ago, and was tried near Memphis, in the winter of 1SG5-G6, but was not fully competent to perform well all it was claimed to do. Since then the inven? tor has been engaged in perfecting it, and the machine recently exhibited is the re? sult ' By it tho labor of picking the cotton from the bolls is said to be entirely dispens? ed with; and it is now only necessary to pluck "bolls, cotton and all," from the stalk. Three or four bolls can be grasped at once and toru away, and ia this crude state they aro placed in the receiver of the machine, which separates the cotton from the husks, leaves, stem, dirt and sand, by running it through the "picker" as fast as it is wanted for "ginning." The planter merely sends, his hands into the field, where they gather, iu the most rapid maoner, all the matured cotton, whether the bolls are open qr, not. It is stored ia this state until a convenient time for ruaniog through the rnachiae. It is estimated that one hand cao pick one thousand pounds of cotton ia the new way, quicker than a person could pick one hun? dred and fifty pounds after the old style. It .is said that oa a plautatioa of 500 acres of bottom land, a single machine will save, in cotton and labor, from S7000 to $10,000 a year. Besides taroing out a better article, the new machine will extract at least fifteen per ceut. more cotton than was saved under the old process. The price will be about 50 per cent, more than the old apparatus; but old gios caa be so changed us to be utilized in conoectioa with the new invention. The St Louis Tunes thinks it is impossible to over-estimate the value of this improvement, and says "enormous sums will be annually " saved by it, to oar planters, in the way of labor, and in the improvement of the qual " ity and increase in the yield of cotton." Arrangements have been made for placing a large number of the machines oa the mar? ket A Fat -Job. The Darlington Democrat has unearthed some ugly doings of the County Commission? ers in connection with their award of the contract for building the new courthouse. There were fifteen bids, at prices ranging from $13,000 to $19,862. Ten of the bids were put in by men ijamed Marco, t e. seven by Samuel Marco, one by Cornelius Marco, an infant son of the seven-fold Samuel, one by M. Marco & Co., and oae by M. Marco. One of the seven-fold Samuels (who bid at $1G,500) offered as sureties JACOB ASTOR ! and A. T. STEWART! One of the seven-fold Samuel Marcos put in the lowest bid, S13, 000, and this bid was accepted, but at S17, 990 50-uearly five thousand dollars more than the price at which this very person of? fered to do the work. But Marco is "not to " annoy the Board in any manner whatso 'ever, and take their checks for the same 1 as the work is received." Whether this guarantee against annoyance is worth $4990 50 the County Commissioners do not deign to say. Marco promised besides to give as sureties M. Marco (one more !) B. Clements, Martin Harrall and Wesley Hur rall. But he did not do it. Upon the face of it, this is one of the worst of the myriad schemes for wasting the iard earned money of the people. Darlington ought to be as a unit in the cause of Retrenchment and Reform. The Rally for Reform. The citizens of Newberry will meet ut the courthouse, on sales-day in June, to appoint delegates to the.Reform Convention. Information Wanted. S. Marco, of Darlington, who offered to build the new courthouse for $1(5,500, named as his sureties Jacob Astor and A. T.* Stewart. Was this done with the consent of these gent leinen ? THE Darlington County Commissioners ro I jected the responsible offer of two respecta? ble colored mechanics to build the new courthouse for $13,500, and gave the work to S. Marco at $17,990 50. This shows a very proper appreciation of the colored citi? zen, doesn't it ? Dissolutions of (Eopartnerstjip.
