The fund .lng bill was modified sb as to strike out that -section relating to future national banks, thus "placing t he latter under the control of the cur? rency act passed last week. The bill, which after all ls merely discretionary .with .the Secretary of the Treasury, co?' simply proposes to fund the debt into ?three classes of bonds, two hundred millions St five per cent, for ten years, three] hundred millions al four and a half per cent, for fifteen years,' and one thousand millions at four per .cent, for thirty years.

One of the r?solu -?tons asserts that the Crispin organization was T formed solely for the purpose of securing those -legitimately depending on the trade of making 'boots.and shoes, as a means of support, from .'injurious competition. It also sets forth that experience during the past five years has shown that the introduction of machinery has -so increased the facilities for making goods that employment can be secured for only about -two-thirds of the year, and that, therefore, necessity compels the shoemakers to fail back - ou the undisputed right of laborers to work with whom and upon such conditions as they see fit, while, at the same lime, they fully ad? mit the right bf employers to decide for them? selves whom they shall employ, and the rate of wages to be paid, provided that such em? ployers caa enforce, by honorable means, their own terms. -A Washington telegram, of Wednesday, says: "Official advices at hand last night from oar foreign representatives, asserting that there was little or ao reason to doubt that a war between France and- Prussia would at .once be Inaugurated, led to something of an informai conf?rence this morning between the President, members or the Cabinet, and several senators and members, as to whether She administration should not take some meas? ures to rein loree Its position in the way of naval strength, la order that the government aUght be prepared for any unforeseen emer? gency. -One of these emergencies was men doned to be the probable'attempted seizure of Cuba by France: . While of course there waa no cause for any alarm as far as the United States were concerned, it was at the same time agreed that there would be no harm in adopting such precautionary measures as events In Europe might warrant. Some mem? bers of Congress proposed that Congress should Increase the naval appropriations. No step, however, was taken in Congress beyond a mere allusion, In debate, that the govern? ment might need more internal revenue in the event o? a falllog off in customs." -The adjustable gauge car, which recently ran from New York to San Francisco and back, Is claimed to have proved the value of the in? vention, and freight, it Is anticipated, can now be carried between thc Atlantic and thc Pa? cific without breaking bulk. Oa the outward trip, the car ran over the Erie broad gauge to Buffalo; then on the Lake Shore road gauge of 4 feet 10 inches, to Cleveland; then on the compromise gauge, 4 feet 9l inches, to Chica? go; then to Council Bluffs, on the Missouri River, by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa? cific gauge, of 4 feet 8* inches. The car hav? ing been detained five days at Council Bluffs, In consequence of a freshet In the Missouri, then crossed over to Omaha, whence it pro? ceeded over the Union Pacific and Central Pacific to Sacramento, and over the West Pa? cific to San Francisco, making the trip In 14} 'days' running time.. On Its return, the car left San Francisco on June 21st, and arrived at New York on July 8th, or In 18 "iys, Includ? ing delays. The patent is described as a stout steel feather, Inserted in a lateral groove of the axle, In which corresponding notches are cut. The wheels have broad flanges, and run from the broad to the compromise gauge, of 4 feet 9| inches, without adjustment. In breaking gauge, the car runs upon a connecting side track to adjust the wheels, which are then held in place by the notches of the axle. The Reform Cunvaas.

The Removal of the Political Disabili? ties of General m. C. Ratler. Tho action of Congress iu promptly re? moving, by a special bilL^ the political disa? bilities of GuneralM. C. Butler, the candidate of the UuioD Reform Party for Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, has an unmis? takable significance, and will have a marked effect upon the progress of the State canvass. Congress, as a general rule, has been chary OT restoring any prominent Southern men to their foll civil and political rights, and* has usually demanded of them, as a preceding condition, an open alliance with the Republican ^party. There are names, however, in the general disability bill, al? ready passed by the Senate, which are worn by men who, while they recognize and obey the laws, are not affiliated Republicans, and the relief of General Butler is a further indi? cation of the adoption, by the Congressional majority, of a policy far more liberal and just than that of the past four years. What, after all, are the demands of the South! Only tbat the Southern people, upon the platform of. equal rights and obedience to tbe Constitution, be allowed to elect to office men whom they can trust, and who have tbe experience, or th * native ability, demanded of those who w mid direct and control the Governments of the States! This is tbe whole demand. There is no desire, speaking for Sontb Carolina, to exclude the colored people from the enjoyment of any right or any privilege. It is conceded by the Union Reform Party that the blacks are entitled to representation ; but it is required that the government shall be, not a black man's gov erment, nor a white man's government, but a government of the whole people-fairly representative, truly intelligent and skilful, and thoroughly and incontestably honest. Such a government, in all its completeness, cannot be had while every citizen of South Carolina who held a State or Federal office, and afterwards took part with the Confede? rates in the late war, is excluded from official position. This galling exclusion has cramped our most generous desires and most earnest en? deavors. And it was keenly felt at the time of holding the Union Reform Convention. A well known Republican official was nomi? nated for Governor; but when it wa3 pro? posed to nominate for Lieutenant-Governor a young South Carolinian-a representative of the energy, liberality and progressive thought of thia year of grace-the bar of ineligibility stood in the way, and the pur? pose was abandoned. It was insisted upon, however, mainly by the colored delegates, that General Butler be nominated, and the nomination was unanimously made. Now, Congress has done its part, and General Butler stands as an unshackled man before a people who are striving to free themselves from the despotic sway of ignorance and vice. And upon this point the action of Congress is susceptible of a simple explanation. The Union Reform Party of South Carolina is a State organization whose object is the puri? fication of the local administration and the election t? office of able and trustworty men. No national question, as national political parties now stand, enters into the canvass. The platform of the Union Reform Party is a recognition of existing laws, organic and statute, as accomplished facts, and it invites all honest citizens to unite in a grand effort for obtaining a State Government which shall represent faithfully and equally, not whites or black, Radicals or Democrats, but all classes ot our citizens. And Congress, in making General Butler eligible to hold the office to which he will be elected, bravely declares that it will not stand in our way; that it will not prevent this people from driving into obscurity the thieves and ruf? fians who now riot at the State capital; that it will not embarrass a frank and sincere people in their manly endeavor to throw off the weight of unjust laws and excessive tax? ation, and to bring to merited disgrace the horde of adventurers who pilfer the public funds and squander the resources of the State. Thilos w? read it, is the plain meaning of what Congress has done; this is the inter? pretation to be put upon the new step taken by the Congressional majority towards that -Universal Amnesty which is the only true corollary of that Universal Suffrage which the laws grant, and which, asan accomplish? ed fact, is accepted and acknowledged by the people. Thc War Between France and Prussia. France has moved quickly. Without allow iug time for explanation, or preparation, she declares war against lier traditional foe, and already the French armies are march? ing towards the Rhine. The ostensible cause or the war, if cause it can be called, is the insult offered by Prussia to the French ambassador, M. Benedetti, and the failure of Prussia to carry out the stipulations of the Treaty of j Prague in regard to Schleswig-Holstein. The candidature of Prince Leopold has been formally withdrawn, and Prussia dis- > claims any connection with that candida? ture and denies her responsibility for it But France falls back upon othf-r grievances, makes new and more arroga at demands, and declares war becauso thi great Ger? man Kingdom will not stultify ire ruler and humiliate its people.' It is tru* that the French may be eager to acquire by conquest the famous left bank of the Rhine, and Napoleon may believe that only a successful war will strengthen his own power and per? petuate his dynasty. But neither object is by any means sure to be accomplished by this unprovoked war with Prussia. A movement on the Rhine will make the Prus? sian war a German war, and every son of the Fatherland will be ready to draw the s word in its defence. The North German Confederation will esponse the cause of | Prussia, and th? German provinces of the Rhine will not ba obtained without a desper? ate fight Nor is Prussia unprepared. The famous officers who organized victory in the war with Austria, four years ago, have lost none of their skill; nor have the Prussian soldiers lost the valor which crowned them with laurels at E'.?nigr?tz and Sadowa. The war will be a war of giants-a war in which the judgment of Europe must oe against France, and on s in which Napoleon has far more to lose than his sagacious rival. The effect of the European war upon this continent is already visible, and the balance of advantage would appear to be with the United States. It is true that forced sales of United State?i bonds may be made,requir? ing shipments of gold from this side in their payment. But there is a scarcity of provis? ions in France, and the deficiency must be made up in this country. It is certain, then, that the prices of provisions and breadstuff's will continue to advance so long as the war lasts. Lead^" powder and other munitions of war will be in the same category. New Eng? land will have cheap cotton and the We3t will have dear grain - this will check the outflow of gold, and may even set the cur? rent in this direction. Only the South will suffer. Food, which she is forced to buy, advances rapidly in price; and cotton, which she has to sell, slides down with ominous reg? ularity. OOR Pendleton correspondent, who gives a cheering account of the progress of the Reform movement in that section, writes that the people are very anxious to hear Judge Carpenter and General Butler at Pen? dleton. We have no doubt that an effort will be made to gratify this desire. The more our candidates meet the people, foot to foot and face to face, the more of staunch supporters will they undoubtedly have. THE Greenville Enterprise thinks it a pity> that Governor Scott declines to meet Judge Carpenter on the stump, because the people ought to have a. fair opportunity of compar? ing the two men, to bear from them what measures they advocate and condemn. The Enterprise urges men of all classes and par? ties to turn out and hear Carpenter and Butler on the 25th. COOT oing. BOARD WANTED FOR A MAN AND his wire, wm furnish their own mom.

HOLDERS, PUBLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DI? RECTORS. The following is the report of General John B. Gordon, President of the Southern fyife Insurance Company, or which Mr. S. Y. Tupper is the Agent In Charleston : To the Boara of Directors and Stockholders of I Ute Southern Life Insurance Company of the Atlanta Department : The success of this Dcpartmen r,since our last an? nual meeting, furnishes ground for sincere con? gratulations. When the Department was organ? ized, two years ago, au indisposition to patronize Southern institutions of tb ls character was painful? ly manifest. The too successful efforts of ad ven ur ers to delude the people In to the support or institu? tions claiming to be Southern, but controlled by men not Identified with this section-indeed, al? most without habitation and devoid of capital or character, had very naturally excited among the masses a distrust of every kindred enterprise. The people were without faith in the stability or Southern organizations, and hence lt required much labor to convince the public that the South? ern Life was worthy of confidence. As this confidence increased, and the business of the company began to attract the attention of Northern organizations, a series of attacks upon this Institution followed, by Northern agents and Northern Journals, which for malignity, viru? lence and utter want of truth, have rarely .been equalled In the history of journalism in this country. Nothing which envy could Invent or sectional blas suggest was left untried to destroy publice confidence tn this Pioneer Southern Com? pany, and check Us rapidly Increasing business, These attacka, however, were promptly answer? ed, ami their want of truth, and . the spirit la which they were conceived, exposed, so that the very absurdity of many of these representation? became apparent to the country, and Inured rather to our benefit than disadvantage. These are some of the difficulties with which the Southern Life has been compelled to contend, and which I have thought beat to bring to your notice, that you might the better appreciate the grounds of my congratulations npon the hand? some success the company bas attained. lt will appear by the secretary's Report that aince June, 1869, the number of applications re? ceived ia 2140- Insuring $8,121,200-the gross pre? miums amounting to nearly $342,000. The anual gross receipts of the Company In this Depart? ment, since its organization, amount to the hand? some sum of $372,406 48. Of this amount $124, 666 22. consists or loans to policy holders, secured by hen upon the policies. $164,177 81 has been paid in expenses, losses, ac, leaving a net balance to the credit of the Company over and above all ex ?eases, losses, Ac, ot over $0O,iOO, walch has een Invested in bonds, short loans, ic, as will particularly appf ar In the Secretary's Report. When lt ls remembered that this Department ls now but two years old. and that very few Compa? nies In the United states have been able to report any surplus the first and second years of their ex? istence, many not only exhausting all receipts, but seriously Impairing their capital, lt will be apparent that our success ls truly gratifying. And In this estimate of prosperity, no account whatever is taken of the more prosperous Mem? phis Department. II we consider the entire organlzation.aud take as authority the Spectator of New York, a stand? ard Insurance Journal, lt will appear that of 84 leading Life Insurance Companies of the United States, the Southern Life stands : number 28, as to the amount of premiums taken in the last year ; number 24, as to number of policies issued ; number 34, as to amount or Insurance in force ; number 3 as io ratio of increase over1309 ; ana, tn ratio of assets to liabilities, il ls the LABOEST but one. The Importance and significance or these last two Items can scarcely be over-estimated,in view or the absurd-attacks hitherto niade upon us. We may anticipate, at no distant day, the abandonment or Lire Insurance by one or two Southern and some Northern Companies, in con? sequence or a want of a sufficient capital paid up. But with its entire capital paid in cash. Its pros? perity and ratio of Increase, rarely equalled In this country, and ratio of assets to liabilities larger than any company In the United States but one, we may with entire truth claim that the "Southern Life" offers greater inducements to our people than any company seeking their pat? ronage. Why, lt may be asked, this handsome showing by a company only doing business In the South [ ern States, particularly as to amount of business and ratio of assets to liabilities ? The solution ls found : 1. In the patriotic disposition of oar people to patronize Southern Institutions, when known to bo sound. 2. In the care with which risks are assumed. 3. And mainly, In the great economy with which the Company ls managed, and as au evi? dence of this important fact, I need only mention that lt pays Its agents a very low rate or com? missions as compared to other organizations some of oar best agents having been offered by Northern companies double the commission paid by the Southern Lire. The Company, then, ls both strong and prosper? ous, and only remains for Its Directors, Stock? holders and Policyholders, to make a united ef? fort In Ita behalf to make lt not only a source or nrlde to our people, but a most potent agent tn securing the material proaperlty of our prostrate section, by checking the drainage of tts surplus capital. The South's straggle for the supremacy of the Constitution having failed, and the control of her political affairs denied her people, what higher ambition ts left the Southern patriot tuan to ad vance, by bis name and Influence, the purposes of an Institution, which ls now contributing, and must tn future contribute still more largely, to lils section's material Independence.

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 have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description or their merits, Ac. There ls hardly a eity or town or 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. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further Improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand wlthont a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think it the best that ls made, at least, this ls the decision of the best judges In the conn 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 or the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
