Why do not Charleston ... and Brunswick respond f -A deadful accident, resulting in the death of Mr. James H. Butler, occurred last Wednes? day, near Eden, in Effingham County, Geor? gia. Mr. Butler, while adjusting a belt near a Circular saw, was thrown or fell from his posi? tion upon the caw, which was ia full motion at the time. His right arm and right leg were ont off, and .being remote from immediate surgical aid, be bled to death in about six hoars after the accident Mr. Butler was identified with tire mechanical interests of Savannah, where h.- had many friends. He was aged forty years, and leaves a family consisting of a wife and four children. -The undertaking of the City of R&cpisa.?twen? ty feet long, to cross the Atlantic from Liver? pool to .New York, by means of a screw and se vc u ty yards of canvas, ls a thing to take the imagination by its picturesque audacity. Cap? tains Pimorez and Buckley, with a Newfound? land dog, will be the entire equipage of the vessel; and Barely the two former, at least, must have about ?heir hearts a good deal of the oak-plank and triple-brass sheathing that Horace writes about, in taking on them such a formidabie piece of business, made more for-, midadie by the fact that the screw is intended to be shipped sod unshipped, on occasion. Their voyage will bc a solitary one, and they will be for weeks "with nobody with them at sea but themselves." -The newest Cuban sensation is that the Bteamor George B. Upton, which sailed from New York on Saturday last, has a commission from the Junta.us a regular man-of-war. ' She ls said to have a frill complement of officers and some two hundred fighting mea, besides a mil supply , of ammunition, sholls, Ac. It ls stated that Thomar L. Derwin, late of tho Hornet, formerlyr. 'he Confederate navy, commands the Upton; Robert Summers, also of the Hor? net, is second, a ad a m; Jo ri ty of the officers are brave and experienced men. The military portion-of the expedition is commanded by General T?llente, late of General Goicurla's staff, seconded by Colonel Drake de Kay. The Upton's destination ls ono of the small keys off Florida,'ac easy distance off Cuba. -A f jnassrmeeting of women was; held .? New York, at Apollo Hall, on Tuesday, at which Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered au ad? dress on love, marriage, divorce aad the Mc? Farland case. A petition was read add circula? ted asking Governor Hoffman to have McFar? land caught and put in an insane asylum. The meeting adopted with enthusiasm the Sorosis resolutions tendering sympathy to Mrs. Mc? Farland, and approving of the conduct of the late A. D. Richardson, in making love to that lady. Miss Catharine Beecher advocated the legal separation rather than the divorce of un? happily married people, "lu order to prevent a maa who has destroyed the happiness of one woman.from ever having an opportunity to repeat such conduct." The meeting being in? tended only for females, two gentlemen who accidentally intruded were put out. A man in disguise, however, it is said, elaborately got? ten up, contrived to pass current as one of the assembly, and remained undetected. -A Washington letter, in speakiug of the Wnittemore canvass in this State, say?: "An eTort has been made to show that Whktemore was unconscious ofdolugwroog ia selling his cadclship; and that If he did in this instance laps-3 from that high state of morality, for which Congressmen of the present day are so . noted, it was his only sin, and has been fully expatiated. Bat there are some other facts in Mr. Whitemore's brief and inglorious Congres? sional career, even less creditable to him than the selling of a cadetshlp*. Mr. Whlttemore's residence is at Darlington. The most usually travelled route to Washington-in fact, the only direct route-Is as follows: From Darling? ton, to Florence, 12 miles; from Florence to Richmond, via Wilmington, Weldon, and Petersburg, and from Richmond to Wash? ington, via Aquia Creek, 492 miles. Mr. ' Whitemore was elected State senator the same time he was elected a member of Congress. He left home as a State senator for oho State Capitol, and. after the rat irk at lon of the Fourteenth amendment and the election of United States senators, in which he participa? ted, he started to Washington Tia Charleston. In his mileage account,'as an M. C., he charged from Darlington to Columbia and round that way to Washington, six hundred and thirty two miles (instead of feur hundred and ninety two miles;) and also drew mileage from thc State from his home to Columbia and back. This was done on four several occasions. Mr. . Wnittemore also held both positions, drawinjr pay as a State senator of South Carolina and as a member ol Congress, until it was suggest? ed to him that he had better resign the iormer position, which bc did. And such is the man who is coming to Washington to claim the'seat from which he was so recently expelled." The Jane Convention. More Jhan one-third of the thirty-one counties into which South Carolina is divid? ed have already made arrangements for choosing delegates to the State Convention, which assembles in Columbia next month. Most, if not all, of the remaining counties are expected to appoint their delegates on sales-day in June. The object of the Convention his frequent? ly been stated; it is, to bring together rep? resentatives of the whole State, with the view of taking such action as may seem most prudent and practicable, for securing to South Carolina au honest, able and econ? omical government. This is the aim of the Convention, and as it is one which concerns every good citizen, uo appeal is made to the passions or prejudices of party, class, or color. The resolutions adopted by the Press Conference aje the general basi3 upon which -the Convention meets. Tho3e reso? lutions are, an acceptance of Che political situation and an acknowledgment of the civil and political equality of all the citizens of the State. They have met with a hearty and general approval*and were put into shape at the Mass Meeting, held in this city on Monday last, when the following resolu? tion was adopted: "Resolved, That we invite our fellow-citizens to send representatives from tboir respective counties to the State Convention, which as? sembles in Columbia on 15th June next, in or? der thai the policy then adopted for accom ?lubing the great work of Retrenchment and ?form maybe carried out with harmony and with energy by all good citizens." There is no attempt or desire to forestall the action of the Conveution. All that is asked for is that every county be represent? ed. And this is of the first importance, for many obvious reasons. We believe that to run no candidate against Scott will break up an effective Opposition to Radicalism, and give this State to the Scott Ring and their successors for ten years to come. And we are convinced that the people caa be roused from their apathy, and that a proper candidate, well supported, can beat Scott by 10,000 or-15,000 majority. There is, however, in some quarters, an earnest desire to con? fine opposition to a guerrilla warfare in the counties, allowing Scott to walk over the course. And whatever line of action be adopted, it is of the first consequence that it should be adhered to by the whole State. This is essential which ever plan be chosen, for the opposition of a dissentient minority of unrepresented counties would ruin any movement. All that we desire is, to act to? gether, to work together, to win together. And the first step to this desirable consum? mation is, a full representation - in the State Convention, which meets on the 15th of June._ _ An Important Snit? The decision rendered by Judge Carpen? ter, on the 7th in&tant, in the case of Dab ney, Morgan <fc Co. vs. the Bank of the State of South Carolina, and others, is an able and interesting judicial paper. The decree it? self is too long foi: our columns, but a brief review of its main points will he acceptable to our readers. There are many and very important issues involved in this suit, and the conclusions which the learned judge has reached upon them, may be stated as fol? lows: As to the rights of billholdei-s, it is held I. That the charter of the bank, granted in 1S12, did not ?rente a specific lien on thc capital of the bank in their favor as against other classes of creditors, though it did so against the sole stockholder, the State; that iu any event the present funds of the bank represent profits and not capital, to which such lien would attach. II. That as against the State the charter did create a lien upou the capital of the bank in the nature of an equitable mortgage, and that the Staut had uo right lo remove such capital, and that all acts iutended to effect such removal are unconstitutional. UL That it ls shown by the evidence ad? duced in the cause that the State hos re? moved capital of the bank to an amount greater than the sum of the bills issued; that the State has submited to become a party to this suit, and that, therefore, au account should be stated of the indebtedness of the State to the bank. IV. The bills issued since the secession of the State are not affected by the amend? ment o? the constitution, prohibiting the payment of debts contracted by seceding States in aid of the war, these bills not having been issued by the State, bat by the bank, and not having been issued in aid of the war, and that holders of them are to be paid without regard to the price at which they were bought. V. That should, the present funds of the bank more thau suffice to pay the fire loan creditors, the oillholders are entitled to share In the surplus in addition to their remedy against the State. As to the rights of fire loan bondholders and stockholders VI. That they have a specific lien under the twelfth section of the act of 1836 upou the funds of the bauk, and ure entitled to. have them applied in priority to the claires* of other creditors to the satisfaction of thjir debts. As to the right? of depositors VLL That thosii whoso deposits were in lawful currency shall be paid in such cur? rency, and those whose deposits were in Confederate currency shall be paid its value in lawful curreucy. VIII. That certain general creditors, such as persons claiming for work and labor,, Bhall be paid. We learn that an appeal hus been taken by the billholders against this decree on the grounds L That the bil'iaolders have, besides their claim against the State, a lien upon the as? sets of the bank. 2. That even admitting the lien of the fire loan bondholders, the fire loan stockholders have no such lien. It is claimed that, if either of these points be sustained, the assets of the bank would suffice to pay the billholders in full, without resorticg to the State. Thc New York Herald on Soutn Carolina Finances. The New York Herald, of Tuesday, con? tains the cheering information that the che? rubic Financial Agent of the State of South Carolina has given notice that he will receive proposals for the sale of S100.000 of South Carolina bonds or stocks. This is said to be the first step towards the gradual extinction of the State debt,* which the Herald sets down at about $6,000,000. Or course we all desire to see the State debt extinguished, but the paragraph from which we have quoted i3 nothing less than a broad mis-statement. The .debt of the State of South Carolina is nearly double six MILLIONS, without taking into ac? count an expected liability of S4.000.000 for the Blue Ridge Railroad Company. This can be proved by the figures given i>y the Comptroller-General, in his report for the year ending October 31, 1869. In that re? port (pages 86 and 87) the funded and the past due debt are set down at 86,667,793. Thc Comptroller also says (page 33) that $2,700,000 of State bond3, included in the foregoing statement, are In the hands of the Financial Agent, and will be sold "to relieve "the Stateofthe floating debt, necessarily in "curred in the City of New York." If there is any virtue in figures, the State debt at this time is, according to the statements of the Comptroller-General, no less than $9, 367,000. There was also a sale of S300.000 of State bonds which had not been reported, (page 33,) which swells the debt of the State on October 31, 1869, to over $10,000, 000. In the face of these hard facts, which no sophistry can explain away, the Herald is deceiving its public in stating deliberate? ly that the South Carolina debt is only S6, 090,000. We presume that the Herald re? ceived its information from the Financial Agent of the State. Let him be asked to make a sworn statement of the amount of State bonds and stocks now outstanding, together with a statement of the floating debt, and thc Northern public will find that the Scott Ring has rolled up the State debt to double what it was only two yena ago. And there ?3 another thing. Where did the money come from to buy S100.000 of State bonds or stocks on account of the Sinking Fund ? The Stato had assets to the nominal value of $2,751,660. Amoug them was Greenville and Columbia stock to the amount of $433,960, and South Carolina Railroad stock to the amount of $24,000. These two lots have been sold by the Sink? ing Fund Commissioners ; the one was bought by a Railroad Ring, and the other by one of the State officials. What wa3 paid for these atock3 ? They were sold in a hole and-corner way to the injury of the public, and for all that we know nearly $3,000,000 of assets have been sold out to furnish the means of buying with ostentation a beggar? ly S100.000 of State bonds or otocks. This Sinking Fund business is part of the huge scheme for ballooning the State securi? ties and gulling the Northern public. And the usually astute Herald has been made to pull the chestnuts out of the tire. The Rights of Minorities. The question of minority, or proportional, representation is assuming proportions which promise to give it, at no distant day, a na? tional aspect M a measure of political re? form. As we have already mentioned, Penn? sylvania has tried the experiment at Blooms burg; New York tried it in her election for I judges, on Tuesday last; and the Illinois Constitutional Convention proposes it for the people of that State in 1872. That body has resolved to submit to the vote of the people, in a separate article, a plan for choosing representatives to the Legislature, each dis? trict to have three, and every voter to throw three votes for one, or one vote apiece for the three, or otherwise on thc samcprinci ple of distribution. In this way the minori? ty in every district has it in its power to secure atjeast one representative. It is ro torious, that the upper half of Illinois is Re? publican, and the lower half Democratic; by the adoption of this reformed method of wit? ing, the Republicans of the southern hal: of the State will have representatives numeri? cally proportioned to their strength where they now have none to speak of, and the Democrats of the northern half will have representatives according to their strength likewise. A bare majority will no longer silence a powerful minority. There is plain j justice in thia, and wc rejoice that so urgent a reform is to be tried by so great and in? fluential a State. Making Ready. Tho Beunettsville Journal calls upon the citizens of Marlboro' to meet at the court? house, on sales-day in June, and appoint delegates to the Reform Convention. The Chester Journal suggests that the people meet on sales-day in June, for the purpose of choosing delegates to the Reform Convention. Well Put. The Anderson Intelligencer, in its last is? sue, says: '.We beg leave to say that our views arc offered in advance of a State Convention, and should such a body, reflecting fairly the wishes and opinions of the majority of our political associates, determine to nominate a State ticket, noe shall bow submissively to Us behest.'' This is plain Mid patriotic talking.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years hare now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub- ' lie, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac There ls 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 their peculiar, excellence and Intrinsic worth. Belrg determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further Improved their quality, and now wc ilrmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a riva!. Our Vanilla Extract cannot, be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It Is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that ls made, at leasts this is the decision of the best judges In the coun? try. We don't pretend to compete in price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition. DAVIS A MILLER'S PURE YEAST POWDER.
