Cotton dosed rjulet and Arm at 22?c for up? lands. -It is reported from Vienna that since the publication in Austria of the laws on religious liberty, about seven hundred persons of both sexes have abjured Christianity for the Jewish faith. -The leading British ministerial reform measures will, lt is stated,X>c probably shelved tor a year. The Irish Land bul, however, will be put through, - and probably the. new Educa tl on bill, ? which have occupied so much of the time of the British Parliament. * -From London comes the news that another Cuban war steamer, the Chieftain, wHh an un usually heavy armament, bad succeeded in .eluding the vigilance of the British authorities and putting to sea. She is described as a pow? erful, staunch and fast sailing vessel. -A London publishing noose, profiting or hoping to profit by the example of American bookaneers, announce a monthly periodical to "be made ap from American magazines. Their Intention may be strictly dishonorable, but with the best of felonious'purposes they will find practical difficulty in doing more than Btealing English articles back again. -The death of a noted'tenant of the French war office is, announced-the famous parrot Jacko, who had been looked upon as an in? dispensable appendago to that department for the past forty years, ls no more. He died im? mediately ?'after the Duchess of Berry, and on the anniversary of the death of Napoleon I, Ithree days before tbe Pleblscitum. -A French surgeon has discovered a pro? cess of performing operations without pain. He uses instruments heated to white heat by means of. electricity. He was led to the dis-, covery by observing that burns caused by In? tense heat produced no pain. The absence of pain is owing to the destruction of the nerves by the great hear, -A Washington letter says: "An informal canvass of the House shows that Whitremore ''win hardly get the seat tv which his Ignorant negro constituents have returned him. Mem? bers very generally say that they cannot con? sistently vote to admit him when they have voted at the same session that be is unworthy to be A? representative of the people in Con? gress. General Logan will take the position, lt is said, that Whittemore's re-election is an Insult to the House." -Advices received In Liverpool (May 24) state that the steam trade through the Suez "Canal is rapidly Increasing, and that the rates of freight have scarcely undergone any dimi? nution.. Up to April 3Q tho following move? ments of steamers had occurred: Theftlagdala had sailed for Liverpool with 7214 bales of cotton, and the Apollo with 6206. The John .Dryden,.the Europe^ the Egitto, the Delaware, the Atlavthe Alonzo and the Adalia were to follow with full cargoes of cotton by the canal. -A London telegram of Tuesday says: "Wolff's Continental Telegraph Company, of . Berlin, with sub-agencies in the principal .?eitles of Europe, knows nothing of any recent 'disturbances la Rou mania. The manager of -that company declares the telegram of Adolph "rCroraleux to be aa exaggeration, and says all ? reports touching the slaughter or banishment ?'; pf. tie J?

Dili? gent inquiry here and on the Continent fails to discover any foundation for tho terrible stories which have been published In the United-States." -The .new Cunard steamer Abyssinia is one ' fit fhe fonr new ships fitting out In the Clyde ;-jfo:caxTy.the mails between this country and ; England, under Messrs Burns & Hf elver's con 1 teact,. which, lt will be remembered, they ob? tained from her Majesty's Government for eight years, at ?70,000 a year. The vessel ls one of the finest specimens of naval architec? ture. The Abyssinia is unUke any of the Cu? nard steamers now afloat, as she is a four decker, and with her heavy iron masts and : plum stem looks more like a Unc-of-battlc ship ttian a vessel destined for the service of the Canard Company. '-The first'sait under the social equality law of Louisiana, brought against the proprietor of an ice-cream establishment who refused to re? ceive colored applicants for refreshments, has resulted in a disagreement ot the Jury. It is said that a variety of races were repre? sented among the Jurymen, and that a colored juror waa prominent In opposing tae intcn tiOBA of the tremere of the law, alleging that hehlmselfdidnotwant white men os visitors at colored people's ball s, "to como there and take my colored ladles away." After long and heated dicussion, the other Jurors agreed to take the opinion of a grave and silent German. He decided that, as it had been evident that the lawyers In the case were at variance upon the law, th? justice, and-the* evidence adduced, it could not be expected that a jury which knew far less about such matters should agree. And this sagacious opinion was adopted as the finding of the Jury. , -The Chinese question has beea taken up in earnest by tho-Six Companies, whose circu? lar on the subject was mentioned by telegraph a few days ago. This circular, which is to be posted throughout the cities and towns of the Celestial Empire Europe, is Indeed discourag? ing in its tone, according to tho translation which late California papers furnish. The companies urge that California and the Pacific States are not, as once, the El Dorado of the world, and that placer mining, in which branch o? the business Chinese miners gene? rally engage, is not paying. Moreover, they assert that, in case a Chinaman manages to make money at this business, the chances are that he will be robbed of it by lazy and ruffianly white men.?. Only thc merchants get rich, while the common Chinese arc not respected, have no rights, and occupy a posi? tion not above that of beasts of burden. This condition of things has long been known here, but it has also been supposed that the situa? tion of the Chinese emigrant in California does not exceed, either in poverty or unpleasant? ness, the case of the same class at home. From the statement of the Six Companies, however, we must understand that in Chinese opinion it is better to stay in the semi-barbar? ism of the Flowery despotism than to travel to this land of. semi-freedom for Asiatics. Wc also learn that there is actual destitution among the Chinese on the Pacific coast, which the merchants are unable to relieve. A Trae Dian Gone. We announce, with unfeigned regret, the sudden death of Lieutenant S. J. Burger, which took place at Cartersvllle, Georgia, on yesterday morning. For some time he had been in failing health, and on Wednes? day last he left Charleston, with thc inten? tion of remaining a short time in Georgia. The change of air would, it was hoped, res? tore his strength, and enable bim to resume his business duties with undiminished vigor. Unhappily, however, the spot which was to give him new life, was the scene of his la? mented death. The whole career of Lieutenant Burger, his principle and his practice, is expressed in these few words-Fidelity to tinsl, and devotion to duty. These were the guiding stars ol forty-three years of usefulness and worth. Lieutenant Burger was born in Charles? ton in 1827, and began business in the house of Mordecai & Co., in 1845. Subsequently he opened a clothing store, on his own ac? count, in King street, and at the breaking, out of the war, he was bookkeeper fxjr/ Messrs. Dunham & Taft. On May 13, 18?; he became a member of the Washington Light Infantry, and went into camp on Sul? livan's Island with that gallant company be? fore the capture of Fort Sumter. When the battalion was regularly mustered into ser? vice, Mr. Burger went with it as Lieutenant of Company B. At tho battle of Secession ville, he was . wounded in the arm, and at the battle of Drury's Elu tl', in 18C4, he Was again wounded-this time lu thc foot. Be? ing unfit for further active service, he was placed on. the retired list. Would any one know what manner of soldier he wa3, his old comrades, who fought and bled by his side, stand ready to answer for his cour? age, his endurance und Iiis skill. Deeply will they regret that he who looked forward with so eager an interest to the raising of a monument to his fallen comrades, who la; bored so diligently to accomplish the diffi? cult work, should now, on the threshold of the dedication day, himself bc numbered with the dead. After the close of the war Lieutenant Burger became the bookkeeper of THE NEWS, which post be held at thc time of his death. It need hardly bo saul that he was a model of unswerving* fidelity and untiring diligence. All his life, his every wish and desire, appeared to be bound up in the con? scientious discharge of his whole duty. There was no niggardliness in his devotion to the interests of Iiis employers. lu every sense of the word, he was a true, an honest man. The proprietors of TIIE NEWS feel that in him they have lost one whose place it will be difficult, indeed, entirely to till. And they desire to place on the record here, a full acknowledgment of their high appreciation of his earnestness, iutcgrity and unsullied truth. The funeral of Lieutenant Burger will take place at St. John's Church at 5 o'clock this afternoon, and the friends and acquaint? ances of the deceased, as well as the mem? bers of the Washington Light Infantry Char? itable Association, and theGerman Friendly Society, of which he waa a member, are in? vited to be present So may they pay the last mark of respr-ot to one who counted all Charleston among his friends, and had not a single foe. "Because lt Pays," The Winnsboro' News, Bhrewd and pun? gent as usual, approves of the mooted schemes of manufactures, direct trade and immigration, not on account of any remote or incidental-good to come from them, but because the direct profit and expediency of each, and the immediate benefits that each will confer, are so very clear, that their cause is weakened by distracting the attention away from them, even for the purpose of ex? hibiting other incidental blessings that they will bring. The News sums up the case thus : "It it is not true that, the South possesses advantages over all the world for spinning, as sh% docs for ginning cotton, we would not urge tho subject of cotton manufacturing. There was a time when cotton was sent in the seed to England. To export it in thc seed now, seems to us very little more short-sighted and thriftless, than sending colton in the lint, as we do every year, instead of in yarns. "Again: A direct line of steamers to Europe will pay handsomely. The business is a per? fectly sure ?ne, and money invested in It ls money judiciously invested In a most profita? ble way. Therefore, let us take stock in a steamship line from Charleston to Europe. It will pay. No other argument is needed. "Lastly: Those who have Introduced five hun? dred immigrants in Newberry and Laurens, find it Tery profitable, lt supplies labor where it is needed. Money is made by it. There? fore, sober meu advocate immigration, be? cause it pays." MR. ROTIIROCK, of Chester, has recently discovered gold on his farm, and has boen in negotiation with, some Northern capitalists, who propose to opeu out thc vein on shares. The Reporter says : "With the climate and "soil she possesses, Chester is r5Yic of the most "desirable locations on tho sur/8ce of God's "green earth. Add gold mines to her other "attractions, and socr. she would be thc rich "est place ou thc continvul." Thc Test Oath. The fact that many men were being nomi? nated for Congress who are known to hive been honorably engaged in the late straggle, together with the expression of opinion on the part of mauy with whom be met, that the test oath prescribed by act of Congress, approved July 2, 1862, had been superseded by the Fourteenth amendment, induced the editor of the Chester Reporter to address a letter to lion. F. A. Sawyer, asking for an authoritative statement in regard to the oath required of members of Congress. In reply lie received the following: "UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER, "Washington, June 4, 1870. "Dear Sir- Your letter of 1st instant, inquir? ing 'whether Congress now requires the test oath of 1862 to be taken by its members, or whether any person who ls laboring under no disabilities by the Fourteenth amendment is eligible to a scat in that body,' has just been received. "In reply I have to state, that all members of cither house of Congress, and all other officers of thc United States Government, are now, by law, required to take the oath prescribed by act ot Congress, approved July 2,1862, except those persons only who have been relieved of their political disabilities. The latter class are required, belore entering upon the duties of the offices to which they may have been elected or appointed, to take and subscribe the oath prescribed by act of Congress, ap? proved July ll, 1868, which ls simply an obli? gation to support and defend the Constitution of thc United States against all enemies, for? eign and domestic; to bear true faith and alle? giance to the same; and to well and faith? fully discharge the duties of the office on which the person so taking the oath is about to enter. "The Senate has passed an act requring the latter oath of all persons not under the disa? bilities imposed by the Fourteenth amendment, and who cannot take the 'test oath.' But the House of Representatives has not yet acted upon thc proposition; though I am in hope that it will do so before the session ends, or certainly before this Congress ceases to exist. "Very respectfully, "Your obedient servant, "F. A. SAWYER. "E. C. MCLURE, Esq., Chester, S. C." We understand from this letter that no person who cannot take the ' 'iron-clad" oath, can take his seat in the United States House of Representatives, unless his politi? cal disabilities have been removed, in which ^case he is only required to take an ordinary bath of allegiance. Party pressure i3 usually strong enough, as with Messrs. Simpson and Reed, to pre? vent the removal of the disabilities of any member elect who is not a thorough-going Radical, and, unless it is desired to have thc Radical candidates seated, whether elected Or not, the people must take care not to nomi? nate any man for Congress, unless hehas already had his disabilities removed, or eau take the "iron-clad" oath. Kew Books. HEXRIETTA TCMPLE; a Love Story. By Right Hon. B. Disraeli. New York: D. Applelon A Co. Charleston: John Russell. The marked sensation which Mr. Disraeli's recent novel Lothair has created in the liter? ary world, has moved the Appletons to un? dertake the republication of the earlier works of the same illustrious author, which lind, in a measure, passed out of public notice. The first of these, Henrietta Temple, lias made its appearance. It is an old-fashioned love story, in which the delineation of the grande passion differs as widely from the portraiture of the same sentiment in the modern novel, as does the girl of the period from the beauties who played ^havoc with men's hearts in the days when' our grand? mothers were young. Thu3, from ils very contrast with the novels of the day, Henri? etta Temple enjoys an element of freshness which will make it an acceptable volume at this time, especially with the rising genera? tion. GUIDE TO A CORRECT PRONONCIATION or TITE FKKN'CH LANGOABE, by A. Sachlichen, Pro? fessor of Modern Languages in (he Univer? sity of South Carolina." New York: Univer? sity Publishing Company. This modest little work docs not. of course, claim to place within the reach of the beginner iu French all the advantages in the matter of a rapid acquirement of French pronunciation, which aro thc usual result of residence among and familiar inter? course with Frenchmen; but a careful Blady of its pages will certainly enable tho learner to avoid gross mistakes, and to pronounce, on the whole, with precision and correctness. The simple arid yet completo and exhaustive arrangements of the book will add to thc high reputation which Professor Sachtleben has so long borne among our people as an instructor, and his system will be a most welcome assistance to the hundreds of teach? ers all over the South-many of them in a great measure self-taught-who find it ne? cessary to give lessons in French.
