[From the Columbia Guardian.] Day after day, and week after week, have passed Blnce the partial denouement in regard to the $90,000 land swindle, and still nota word of explanation, excuse or Justification have Messrs. Chamberlain, Neagle or Parker condescended to give an indignant public. Attorney-General Chamberlain has the repu? tation or belog a gentleman, and of having held a respectable social standing in New York, from whence be came. Has he lost all regard for his character ? or does he deem the steaJhg of $90,04H) too insignificant a matter to deserve his attention, although his name may be concerned in the transaction ? Leslie, though partly culpable, in giving his signature In blank, bad clearly no hand in the division of the money, as he was no longer land commissioner at the time, the purchase was completed. De Large has cleared his skirts. ."Republican^ has undertaken to relieve Governor Scott from all participation in the swindle. Will not the other members of the advisory board (Chamberlain, Neagle and Parker,) give their version of the story, or must the public take the charges against them pro confesso ? Thirty thousand dollars ls a neat little sum, but there is one man at least in the number whose price should be considerably above that sum. There is another case, too, of a tract of land in York ville County that was purchased by the land commission some time ago, ot which there ls a very damning story told. We have been credibly informed that this tract of land was offered to C. P. Lesli -, as land commis? sioner, for the sum of $11,300, with a proposal to allow ten per cent commission to induce a purchase. This, for some reason, Leslie de? clined: and what should next tura up bat that ?the sue waa negotiated with the advisory board for $24,000, and the paper about to be made out, when Leslie went to Governor Scott, and showed the letter proposing to sell him the Identical tract of land for. $11,300. This, we .are informed, created quite a hub? bub with the board, and finally these upright Officials concluded it would nat be safe to charge the State more than $14,000. -A postal convention has been concluded betveen the United States and the North Ger numfalon. which seems folly to arrange the wi ole service, and reduces the rates of pos la; e. THE COTTON CATERPILLAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEWS. I have received a volume of Commercial Re? ports which were furnished by her Britannic Majesty's Consuls during the year 1869, and in ?looking over them I perceive one which may perhaps be of service to our sea island plant, ere. I therefore hasten to lay before yon the followlug extract. It is taken from the com. merdai report of Edward Henry Walker, Esq., her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Cagliari, in the Island of Sardinia, and has reference to the year 1868, viz : REPORT BT MR. COXSCL EDWARD 0. WALKER OK THE TRADE AND COMMERCE OF TUE IS? LAM) OF SARDINIA, DURING THE TEAR 1868. The commencement of last year opened very gloomily over the . Island of Sardinia, in res? pect to her agricultural prospects. The year previous the whole of th? crops, with few exceptions, were completely devastated by the immense inroad of locusts from the coast of Africa, which alighted on the wheat and bar? ley crops that promised to yield a most abun? dant harvest, and, with few exceptions, not only eat the ears of grain, but also the straw; in fact, no green herbage was free from their attacks, and even the nouses were visited by them in shoals, and every piece of drapery they alighted upon was immediately riddled through and through. The consequence this frightful visitation was, the poor classes bad nothing to subsist upon but herbs and roots, which they gathered in the mountains and forests, and being attacked with fever the unhealthy season of the year, their frames owing to privation, being too completely re? duced, ana consequently unable to resist throw off these attacks, they succumbed, and hundreds died not only from disease, but also from starvation. Government remained inactive until It was too late, no measures having been taken destroy the locusts; however, the lesson taught was a severe one, and last year the Imperial, as well as the local authorities, at last rousec themsel? es lrom their inactivity, and a grant was made from Florence for the destruction the locust. The different municipal corpora tiona, also, subscribed various sums according to their means, two francs the hectolitre was generally given for the collection of the locust and very often the whole of a village, men women and children, would be seen to turn out for the purpose of sweeping the locust into large sheets, and then burning them pits made for the purpose; through these pre cautions the locusts were got under in an 1 credibly short space of time; previous this, I nave travelled through villages where the roads and sides of the nouses were com pletely black with these insects. The only plan to adopt is to try and collect them previ ous to their being able to fly, for once their wings having grown, it is then utterly impos? sible to destroy them. The following statement will give an idea the sums of money expended, and the quantity of locusts captured: Quantity of locusts captured or destroyed 10,9^9,107.00 hectolitres, 135,494,502.00 kilo grammes; approximate Quantity of locusts burnt or destroyed without being weighed 20,992.19 hectolitres, 319,195.51 kilogrammes subsidy granted by different municipal autbori ties, 56,779 francs'65 centimes; sums expended for capture and destruction of locusts, 352,714 francs 12 centimes. Value of the damages caused on products by inroad of locusts-pas? tures, 60,449 francs; grain, 538,837 francs 7 centimes; barley, 111,412 francs; beans, 43,231 francs 50 centimes; linseed, pulse and herbage 116,644 francs 50 centimes; different fruits 29,660 francs. I remain, dear sir, Tour obedient servant, H. P. WALKER, H. M. Consul. HOW IO WIN THE FIGHT. IFrom the Barnwell Journal.] The colored vote of this district is about three thousand, while the whites poll about two thousand. If six hundred colored men vote the Reform ticket lt can be carried in the district. There are twenty-four townships, so that leaves twenty-five colored men in each township who must vote the ticket in order to insure Its success, provided the whites all turn out, and the latter is a serious consideration The white people of the district have become so disgusted with the way things have gone since the war, that they have lost all interest in political affairs, so that we very much fear that they cannot be aroused to the fact that by a little exertion on their part the Radicals can be beaten in the dis? trict. The latter are hard at work; are tho? roughly organized, and are going to do all in their power from now until the day of election to insure their success. Wc cannot be success? ful by looking on and see them act. We must go to work ourselves, and work hard. Every white citizen in the district should, and we trust will, take a lively interest in the election and do all in their power to convince the colored people that the Union Reform party of South Carolina is not fighting against Demo? crats or Republicans, but is only laboring to secure an bonest administration, who will show justice to all, regardless of race, color, or previous condition. We know you wi' find it bard to make the colored peopie be? lieve anything you 6ay, but persevero until the day of election, and, our word for it, if the colored men are properly approached, and the whites all turn out, we will carry the district by a handsome majority. TELEGRAPH MOTTET ORDERS.-It is not gen? erally known that the managers of the West? ern union Telegraph Company have inaugur? ated a system for the transmission of money from the principal offices in many respects like the pastorice money order system. A person wishing to make a quick payment to another person inanother place, has only to step int? the telegraph office-, deposit the amount of money ne desires to pay, send a message to the payee that he has deposited a certain amount to his credit, naming the tele grauh office at which lt is payable, and almost before he leaves the office the payment will be made, though hundreds of miles separate the {tallies to the transaction. The office recelv ng the money authorizes the office from which lt is to be paid to pay the amount so deposited, and charge the amount against the office giv? ing the authorization. The rate of commis? sion is one per cent. Orders ranging among the thousands may be obtained, and the amounts are only governed by the ability of the offices to which they are sent to pay. The Hartford (Connecticut) office has for some time had the system in operation, and it is Eroposed to extend it to all the principal offices i the country. -A Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune says: "The manner in which partisan telegrams from the South have been manufac? tured and published in the North, to further the personal designs of unscrupulous and am? bitious men, was well shown up in the devel? opments brought out in reference to the Wash? ington Chronicle during the progress of the recent Georgia investigation. Tb - same game is now going on in connection ? rito, the inter? nal affairs of other Southern States. It is be? lieved that the ensuing elections in the South will result, lu some instances, not perhaps in the defeat of the Republican party, but in the defeat of certain individuals who are and have been using that party as a means only to their own selfish advancement. Foreseeing this, the effort is to get up an excuse to declare martial law, and local newspapers in the in? terest of the men alluded to are teeming with accounts of outrages. This is particularly the case in North Carolina, and no surprise need be felt sta dally dish of horrors from that State, served up in the Chronicle, 'for,* said one of the North Carolina senators, 'we intend to use the military, and, in justification, we must get these statements disseminated through the North.' " -A new cotton exchange is to be organized In New York on Friday. PJBItSOXAZ. -Mi. James Gordon Bennett, Sr., is very ill and is not expected to recover. -There are rumors that Horace Greeley is very ill, perhaps Incurably so. It is said that his constant mental labor is beginning to tell upon bis physical frame. -Daniel McFarland has returned to New York irom Chicago. He says the proceedings he has initiated there for undoing his wife's divorce will be pressed, and he is confident of a lavorable issue. He says his friends have placed abundant funds ai his command to de? fray the necessary expenses. It is understood that for the present he will connect himself with one of the literary weeklies. -Brigham Young openly confesses that he does not go to the Bible for polygamy, and that his bellefin the sacred Scriptures is very limit? ed. In one of his sermons, or addresses, he said: "You believe Adam was made of the dust of this earth. This I do not believe. You can write that information to the States if you please-that I have publicly declared that I do not believe that portion of the Bible as the Christian world do. I never did, and I never want to; because I have come to understand? ing, and banished from my mind all the. baby stories my mother taught me when I was a child." -The jolly old sea-dog Robeson is about ready to weigh anchor and start on his "in? specting ' tour to Long Blanch and other fash? ionable watering-places. The yacht America is rapidly approaching completion. Her cabin is being elegantly fitted up with accommoda? tions for a dozen or more first-class landsmen, and every comfort will be provided to alleviate the pangs ol the fresh ones, when they are fairly "dancing on the main." The wine lockers and provision-rooms are capacious, and as Uncle Sam will foot the bills, there eau be no reasonable fear of their being empty at any lime after the cruising season of the rosy Secretary and the festive Vice-Admiral be? gins. _ -Dickens was strongly averse to spiritual? ism, but believed in and practiced mesmerism, and placed the little heroine of his unfinished story under mesmeric Influence, which would have been one of the most striking features of the Mystery. Mr. Dickens was not only a powerful magnetlzer, personally relieving pain and curing disease, but he sometimes sent magnetized or mesmerized paper to per? sons who wrote requesting him to do so, and they declared that it acted as strongly and beneficially as if he were present. This, of course, will be attributed to Imagination, but the power of so operating upon people's imagination as to soothe their pains and cure their diseases, is a gift of considerable value. -Sixty miles beyond St. Paid Is a farm worked by seven sisters. The parents of these girls were both invalids and very poor. They went from Ohio to Minnesota barely three years ago for their health. Under the homestead law the family secured a pre-emption claim ot the usual hundred and sLxty acres. Moved by a natural sympathy for a family so unfortunately situated, their neighbors helped them to put up a log house, and they were able to hire men to split rails for fencing and to plough the land. All the rest of the work has been done by the seven girls, and last year they sold nine hundred bushels or potatoes, five hundred bushels of corn, two hundred und fifty bushels of wheat, and some six hundred of miscellane? ous vegetable. They are now comfortably off, and find time to read books and newspa? pers. -John Morrlssey's new house at Saratoga is said to be by far the moBt gorgeous house for play on the continent. The main floor is divid? ed into three rooms, two of which are devoted to play and one for dining. The fitting up of the rooms are simply magnificent. The floors are covered with scarlet and white velvet tapestry. The furniture, sideboards, cornices, mantels aDd mirror frames are French cheval, inlaid with gold. Thc curtains are Bilk and damask. The monogram "J. M." flames out on all sides. Over the massive mirrors are carved tigers' heads, with mouths wide open to devour, an emblem of the tiger persons will fight within the walls. The chandeliers are gold gilt, and the brackets are burnished in the same style. On the saloon floor there are one hundred and twenty-five lights, and two hundred-and seventy in all the house. Private staircases lead to rooms aloft, and these rooms, on the two stories above the par? lors, are gorgeously fitted up for guests. The lower floor ls for kitchen, wine cellar, laundry and for domestic uses. The club-house cost $!>0,000. A lot near is owned by a church. The parish would not sell, but the ground is rented to Morrissey for ten years, at S100O a year, to" give room and light for the club? house. -When Edward B. Ketchum got his ticket of-leave and shook the odor of Sing Sing from his person and returned to New York, it was hoped his thirst for speculative ventures was at an end. Such, however, was not the fact. In the prime ol life and possessed of keen, analytical faculties, he could not . abstain from participation lu the at times almost maddening operations of Wall street. It warlike return? ing to the old homestead; he could not conquer himself, and since his return be has been, not only one of the heaviest, but one of the most reckless manipulators on 'Change. It ls estimated that his operations since his release from durance aggregate ten million dollars. Last May, Ketchum bought largely when gold rose from 1U to 15A; then the gold market became dull; then Ketchum was a bear in the market and made largely, hundreds of thousands of dollars; then he became a bull from a theory of his own that the Imports would be large, and that there would be no disturbing influences of political economy; the.'he lost, and finally Irretrievably. During these operations $300, 000 were made and lost. When slight causes would send gold upward, or the reverse, he would buy $1,000,000 or 82,000,000 of gold, put half the amount on board a European steamer about to sail, the intelligence ofsuchalarge shipment making gold scarcer and ad? vancing the price. He would then sell and order his shipments back - at once by telegraph. Ry such keen move? ments he soon became famous again. Upon thc same theory he went into stocks, making large sums. Boyd, who has ever stood by him, until he has at last become bankrupt, has made a statement that it would be impossible to state at present the amount of their losses, but that the debts would run from sums ol $50 to $10,000, and would probably aggregate $100,000. He did not wish to equivocate, and asserts that he will pay his liabilities dollar for dollar. Ketchum left the street early In the afternoon for his residence, at Riverdale, feel? ing keenly his friend's and his own sad for? tune. His father, it is said, is worth $2,000, 000, and it is believed that ihe young man, to whom he is devotedly attached, will not suffer long from this sudden prostration. Jf HETTY WOMEN. [From the Saturday Review.] After all, ls the world so very absurd in its love of pretty women? Is woman so very ridic? ulous in her chase after beauly t A pretty wo man is doing woman's work in the world, not making speeches nor making puddings, but making lite sunnier and more beautiiui. Man has foresworn beauty altogether. It ls hopeless to recall the Periclean idea of manhood, to In slst on thc development of personal beauty not less manly than that of personal virtue, demand the grace ot Canning from our states? men, or the dignity of Robertson from our di vines. The world of action is a world of ugli ness, and the good-looking fellow who starts for the prizes soon discovers what Madame Girardin calls le malheur d'?tre beau. He guessed to be frivolous, he is assumed to poetic, there are whispers that his morals are no better than they should be. In a society resolute to be ugly, there is no post for an Adonis, but that of a model, or a guards man. But woman does for mankind what man has ceased to do. She clings to the Periclean Ideal. Her aim from very childhood ls to be beautiful Even as a school-girl she notes the progress oi her charms, the deepen lng color ol her hair, the growing symmetry of her arm, the ripening contour of ber cheek We watch with a silent Interest the mysterious reveries of the malden; she is dreaming of coming beauty, and panting for the glories eighteen. Insensibly she becomes an artist her room a studio, ber glass an academy. The hours work with her, but she works with the hours. What silent musings before her mir ror, what dreams, what discoveries, what dis? appointments, what careful gleaning of expe rience, what sudden flashes of invention ! The Joy of her toilet ls the Joy of Raffaelle over his canvas, of Michael Angelo before his marble She is creating beauty in the silence and the loneliness of her chamber; she grqwB like any freat art-creation, the result of patience, of ope, of a thousand delicate touchings and re touchings. But even to the Gioconda tbe mo ment of perfectness, of completion, comes at last; the master takes his work from the easel and gives lt to the ages. Woman ls never perfect, never complete. A rest? less night undoes the beauty of the day sunshine blurs the evanescent coloring of her cheek; frost nips the tender outlines of her lace into sudden harshness. Her pencil has ever to be at work, even while the hours work for her, and the hours work against her at last Care ploughs Its Hues across her brow; moth erhood destroys the elastic lightness of her form; the bloom of her cheek, the quick flash of her eye, fade and vanish as the years go by But woman is still true to her ideal. She won't know when she ls beaten, and she man Ses to steal fresh victories even in her defeat e invents new conceptions of womanly grace; ehe rallies at thirty, and fronts us with the beauty of womanhood; she makes a last stand at sixty with the beauty of age. lt is the same great artist who exhibits year after year, but whose style ranges from the girlish innocence of a Fra Angelico to the severe matronage of a Zurearan. She falls, like Casar, wrapping her mantle 'round her "burled in woollen ! 'twould a saint provoke ! Death listens pitifully to the longings of a life time, and the wrinkled lace smiles back its last cold smile with something of the prettiness of eighteen. Perhaps we enjoy beauty less than we might from the absurd connection which men have established between the enjoyment of it and love. We fancy it impossible to care much about a pretty lace unless we can hang it in our own gallery. "What care I hew fair she be, so she is not fair to me !" It ls perhaps truer to say that nine-tenths of our enjoyment of beauty disappears with possession. The lover dwells on his mistress' face till he loses all sense of the world of beauty without lt. He ls like the connoisseur who so dotes on the little Correggio he has picked up -for a song that he ceases to care for the larger range ol art. The real way of enjoying pretty women would be never to fall in love with a pretty woman at ail. The true Joys of life are its tin conscious joys-the pleasure we derive from the laughter of children, from the landscape that we drive dreamily through, from the mu? sic which we have not listened'to. And so the truest enjoyment of beauty lies, not in the observation or analysis ot' this face or that, but In the sense of pretty forms and pretty faces about one. The joy of variety, the pleasure of the Inexhaustible range of the beautiful, comes to the admirer of pretty women, never to the lover of pretty women. We are not quarrelling with the instinct which leads ns through pretty faces into paths of domestic peace. It ls often nec? essary to restrict one's sphere of enjoyment; and lt one is absolutely obliged to marry, one had far better marry a pretty wile than an ugly one. The refinement which the student of art gains from constant contact with beauty of color and form every one gains In some de ?ree from dally contact with the beautiful In esh and blood. Woman 1B the art of home, the Giorgione whose brilliancy flashes through the quiet parsonage, the Peruglno whose grace tempers the roughness of every day, the Ru? bens whose largeness and abundance flings a glow of comfort and ease over the most un genial career. Life becomes more harmonious, lt beats with a keener pulse of enjoyment, in the presence of pretty women. After all, a charming little figure, a piquant little face, is the best remedy for half the Ills of existence, its worries, its vexations, its dullness, its dis? appointments. And even in thc larger and more placid types of beauty, In the beauty of a Lady Dumbello, il there is a tinge of stupidity, there is at any rate an at? mosphere of repose, a genial Influence moulding our social converse and hab? its into gentler shapes. It is amusing to see how the prettiness of women tells on uer dress, how the order and propriety of her dress tell on the home. The pursuit of beauty, the habit ol'prettiness, gives an Ideal dignity to tiie very arrangement of her bonnet-strings. In every movement, in the very sweep of her ample folds, in the pose of her languor, in the gay start of her excitement, one feels the soft? ening, harmonizing influence of her last look in the glass. She may be gay or sorrowlul, or quiet or energetic, but she must be pretty. Beauty exercises an imperceptible compulsion over her, which moulds her whole life Into graceful and harmonious forms. Her dress rises out of thc mere clothing of man into regions ol'science, of poetry, of art. A thous? and considerations of taste, harmonies of color, contrasts, correspondencies, delicate adjustments of light and "shade, dictate the choice of a shawl or the tint of a glove. And as prettiness tells on dress, it tells on the? home. Flowers, pictures, the gay notes of a son?te the coziest couches, gorgeous hues of Indian tapestry, glass work of Murano, a hundred exquisite somethings and nothings, are the natural set? ting of pretty women. The art of the boudoir tells on all but the chaos of the husband's stu? dy. Around that last refuge or barbarism floats an atmosphere of taste and refinement in which the pretty little wife lives and moves and has her being. And from this tone of the home grows the tone of society, the social laws ol good-humor, ol'propriety, of sell-restraint, of consideration for others, of gentleness, of vi? vacity. Tlie very hush of the rough tones that have thundered over Peloponnese as Pericles bends over Aspasia, the little turns and delica? cies of phrase, the joyous serfdoms and idle? ness of the manliest and most energetic of men, tell ol'the triumph of pretty woman. It ls a triumph purchased, like most tri? umphs, not without loss to the conqueror. There is a malheur d'etre belle as well as a bon? heur. Life, if lt gains in delicacy, loses some? thing in breadth and vigor Irom its very con? centration. There is something terribly mo? notonous in the life of Ilia pretty woman, in the daily battle with ennui and boredom. One ounce of real love would outweigh papa's pet tings in childhood or mamma's iuss about her child's coming out. There are jealousies of the schoolroom and jealousies ol' the ballroom, little envies, little spites that line with thorns a path which seems strewn with roses. Then there ls the plague of fops, the eternal circle ot vapid admirers, the eternal drivel ol' men about town. The prettiest lips have pouted sometimes with a longing for the ugliness which secures their sisters a chat with a man of sense. The prettiest bosom has heaved a little rebellious af the destiny that consigns it to the stupidest of eldest sons. Perhaps it might have been better to have been a little less charming and to have married that amusing youngerbrother with an income of a few hun? dreds a year. Sometimes, too. a pretty wo? man will sigh a little over the Infinite littleness of her life, will long for the wider world ol po? litics and effort from which her very prettiness and its train of results shuts her out. Marriage is a mere catastrophe, prisoning her existence, restricting her toa single adorer in the place ol'a thousand. Then, too, the sin; le adorer is so hard to keep, and the thousand" are so easy to gain; and so begins the strife between plea sure and duty, tne little warfare fought out under the watchful eyes of tattling dowagers and impertinent fribbles. And then comes the inevitable decay. It ls easy to turn from the glass, but it is Impossible to turn from the eyes that surround one. and every eye be? comes a mirror in which the pretty wo? man reads the wreck of her charms. Young? er rivals pass her by, the circle of adorers thins to a few bores and old beaux, men treat her to second rate stories, or talk with their eyes fixed on another corner of the room. There is a shade of impertinence in the address of the young guardsman; wall? flowers claim her lor their own. She has lived for a year or so, and her whole existence is a mere looking back to that year of life. Or it may be that her prettiness simply passes on from phase to phase, but even the prettiness of thirty-five, fascinating as it olten is, seldom fascinates Its possessor. She conquers ^new realms, but she falls to reconquer the old. She brings gushing undergraduates to her feet, her desk is stuffed with the lyrics of unwhis kered Strephons, but there is a terrible iro? ny about it all, and she turns with a sense of the ridiculous from their slgha and pro? testations. She is beaten, and she knows lt Strephon has done enough if he bas served to cover ter retreat Perhaps the one later prettiness that a woman feels to have real power, more real perhaps than the prettiness of youth, is the prettiness ol old age. There Is the charm of life's afterglow over the gray, quiet head, the pale, tender face, lit up with a sweetness, a pitifulness that only experience and sorrow can give. It is there, somehow, that we bring our troubles and find peace. It ls there, at any rate, that we read a subtler and diviner beauty than in the rosy cheek of girlhood, a beauty spiritual? ized, mobile with every thought and emotion, yet restful with the rest ol years. An infinite tenderness and largeness of heart, a dignity whose grace and naturalness robs it of ail sense of restraint, a touch that has in it all the gentleness of earth, a emile that has In lt something of the compassionateness of Heaven, this ls the apotheosis of pretty women.
