These wretches sometimes offer to wlth - draw claims against estates valued at thous- ; anda of dollars for fifty or one hundred dollars, . .and honest holders frequently pay the claims .rather than go to law. Now there is to be an >end of the practice. -The development of the Illinois coal fields ls claimed to be due to a farmer near Spring? field, who thought that such a country could .not be destined by Providence to be without .fiaeL "The wood is nearly gone,1' said he to .himself, "and there must be coal." In this almost whimsical faith he sunk a shaft one hundred and sixty feet, aud thea struck a vein of bituminous coal, which he ls now mlolng to the amount of $2700 per week. -The New York Commercial Advertiser .says: l,We are glad Geueral Lee has not ten? dered his services to either of the European -belligerents. He can safely rest his military reputation where It now is. The Prussian Field Marshal Von Moltke, lu the presence ct several American gentlemen, once paid the -.great Confederate chieftain a compliment -.which, from such Ups, was indeed worth hav? ing: ? consider General Lee,' said the old vet Tan;'aa a soldier uot inferior to Wellington.' His auditors were all Northern men, but they relish, -d the remark none the less as a deserv? ed tribute to an American soldier." -Spiaklngor poor Prevost-Paradol, a Paris ?correspondent 3ayshe leaves three children ..entirely destitute. He was fondly attached to .Ahem, and uothing but madacss could have iu- j ducecl him to leave them.penniless and unpro? tected. Besides, he was not at all a despond? ing or low-spirited man. He had just at? tained to the height of his ambition; for he had long desired and solicited the elevated diplo? matic post which Count Daru at first objected to give him, on account of their being several unemployed ministers plenipotentiary. It is said that a subscription will be opened for his family. -Alluding to the checkered career ol the present French Emperor, the New York World says: "There are many old residents ot Hobo? ken and Hudson Count j-, New Jersey, general ly.iwho remember the 'nephew of his uncle' as a youthful refugee there, waiting for the star of his destiny-in which he never fora moment, even in those dark days, lost confi? dence-to rise and lead him to the French throne. A few years ago it was announced througrcnewspapers that a present of a golden chalice had been sent by Napoleon III, the Emperor of the French, to the Rev. Father Cauvln, of Hoboken. It was sent to the good father in return for kindnesses and hospitality received at his hands In the town of Hoboken, when Napoleon III was a wanderer in Ameri? ca, poor, and comparatively trie Lidless, in the unhappy days of his youth, when he was plain Louis N. Bonaparte. The good Catholic priest of Hoboken can even now, in his declining years, be made to light up and sparkle into something of the bygone French vivacity of his youth, when the name of Napoleon III is mentioned. He has many anecdotes ot the modest and somewhat taciturn young man even thtn 60 fond of smoking-whom he re? ceived often at his house, and who often sat at his board and drank a bottle of his modest claret." Downright Robbery. The absolute loss to the State of South Carolina by the extravagance and corruption of the Scott administration cannot be fully known until the government is once more controlled by conscientious and intelligent representatives of the people. Theft after theft, and fraud after fraud, have been brought to light, but all these are a flea-bite to what must remain untold until the Reform Legislature can search out the hidden vil? lanies of the Bing. The burden of blame rests upon the shoulders of a mere handful of men. They who manipulate bank bills and State bonds control the Land Commis? sion Fund. The bands which paid out $48,000 to secure the passage of the Sinking Fund bill are stained with the spoils of the Railroad Bings; and they who bribed Land Commissioner Leslie to resign his lucrative office, were themselves at the mercy of those who demanded to be his successors. What the Scott clique are known to have done in one department of the government, they will be found to have exceeded in other transac? tions which are not yet unveiled; anil^ it is for this reason that we attach so much im? portance to an exposure of the operations of the Land Commission. The downright rob? bery of the public, under the pretence of giving land to the landless and homes to the homeless, is an unerring guide to the char? acter of every other financial scheme.in which the same officers, or the majority of them, are engaged. , The Advisory Board of the Land Commis? sion consists of Governor Scott, Comptroller General' Neagle, Stato Treasurer Parker, Secretary pf State Cardozo, and Attorney General Chamberlain. They appoint the Land Commissioner, who shall "hold hi3 of "fice at the pleasure of the Advisory Board," and the commissioner must, "in all the du "ties imposed upon him_be governed by "their instructions and advice." It will not be denied, then, that the Advisory Board are directly and entirely responsible for the proper conduct of the Land Commission, and for the proper cHsburaemeut of its funds. What 1 are the facts which' have been unearthed 1 and are not gainsaid? Land is bought . to the amount of ?560,000, while the law is, that the purchase shall not exceed the amount of mouey appropriated for the pur? pose, which was $200,000 in bonds.. In Oconee the Land Commission buy two thou? sand acres of land, ab the extravagant price, for that land, of S6 an acre. In Lancaster : County the Land Commission pay $8032 for 1 a tract of land declared to be utterly worth- : less. In Charleston County the State is 1 charged $120,000 for a tract of land which ' cost $30,000. In Beaufort the Land Com- 1 mission bought nineteen hundred acres of 1 land at $2 50 an acre, and made the seller 1 sign titles at $5 au acre. In Darlington 1 Couuty the Land Commission buy a tract of 1 land for the nominal price of $5986, and the ! State is made to pay $11,603. The detailed 1 particulars of these jobs have been printed " in these columns, and we now add a state- 1 ment of a similar transaction in Williams- 1 burg, as furnished us by a trustworthy cor- ' respondent: < "The Land Commission operations in WU- ' liamsburg County extend to but one case, but 1 that ls a fine specimen, although on a compar- 1 atlvely small scale. I "Some lands of the estate of William Stag- < gers were sold at Klngstree some eighteen months ago, by the executor. One of the terms ? of the sale was that the heirs had a right to , buy to the extent of their interests respective? ly, without paying any money. No reference , or other proceeding had been held before the ' sale, in order to determine the interests of the heirs. At the sale, which was public, Dr. John W. Staggers, one of the helre, bought one tract for $600. The face that he had an inter- < est to tins extent not being ascertained, the < executor did not make him a title, and matters < remained In this condition till some ten months ago, when the local agent of the commission there-S. A. S wai is. State senator and county auditor-in connection with the clerk of the court, BL J. Hirsch, and by the use of the name of the father of the latter, (an old gen? tleman, John M. Hirsch, not worth a dollar, ) purchased the land from Dr. Staggers for the sum ot $1200. The title was taken in the name c: John M. Hirsch. Then this old gen? tleman made a title to the State for $3000, thus clearing $1800. This sum was divided between the said State senator and thc clerk of the court. With their shares each has bought . himself a house and iot in the town." From this statement of the transactions of thc Land Commission, but one conclusion can be drawn: That men who will wink at, or take a share in, the speculative operations of a Land Commissioner whom they control; who openly defy the law under which they act; who themselves, or by their agent, waste, if they do not steal, the moneys of the State; canuot be trusted to administer the laws, or to handle funds of the State, or to perform any duty which requires for ita per? formance integrity, truthfulness, or common . decency. We do not say that ali the mern- ( hers of the Advisory Board had an equal share in the profits of tho Land Commission ; 1 but the Board conUoUod the Land Commis- I iioner, au i any me.'nber who, by his negli- i gence or inattention, allowed his colleagues, or their subordinate the Land Commissioner, to swindle the State, is as guilty in the pub? lic eye as though he, individually, were the actual culprit and the man who did steal the money of the people. These are harsh words, but in these times it is mere euphuism to call a spade by anything but a 3pacle. And we claim, besides, that every word we have uttered in regard to Scott and his co-conspirators, is proved by the facts we have already published, and by the further fact, now published for the first time, that Governor Scott did agree to pay to Land Commissioner Leslie, as the price of his resignation, money and securi? ties amounting to nearly fifty thousand dol? lars. This statement, we clare Governor Scott to deny ! The Imperial Baby. Our cable dispatches this morning leave ns in a delightful state of doubt as to' the truth of the startling tidings, tel-1 egraphed on Wednesday night, that the Prince Imperial had arrived in London in charge of Mr. Smith, the confidential agent of the Emperor, who also had in his keeping the valuables of the Empress, and the famous Brunswick diamonds. Who this Smith may be is as uncertain as what are these famous Brunswick diamonds. This Smith cannot be the ubiquitous John Smith, and if not that Smith, what manner of Smith is he who is entrusted with jewels far more valuable, in the eye3 of Eugenie, than those of the mother of the Gracchi? The Empe? ror Napoleon has in London both fair weather and foul weather friends. Poole, the tailor, for instance, who hoisted the Impe? rial eagle after the days of the cou}) (V?lai, might well enough repeat the disinterested kindness which he showed to Napoleon after the Boulogne fiasco. There was no need to fall back on Smith, a name ominous of the dull morning when Louis Philippe, the Mr. Smith of that period, arrived safely in Lon? don. And what are these Brunswick dia? monds? From the days of Henry the Lion, the Dukes of Brunswick have been the foes of France. The Duchy was absorbed with the Kingdom of Westphalia by Napoleon I, in 1806, but there was do hint of diamonds. And surely the Black Brunswickers, who lost their Duke at Quatre Bras and fought so gallantly at Waterloo, had no legacy of diamonds to bequeath to their fallen enemy. Perhaps the telegraphers mean the Pitt or Orleans diamonds; and perhaps there is no Prince Imperial in London, no confidential agent Smith, and no diamonds of the Em? press. This, indeed, is the only solution of tho difficulty which gullant French and gallant Germans can be willing to accept. After the flowery talk about weeping veterans and baptisms of fire, to send "our Louis," with hot haste, to perfidious Albion, would be a thing ac which all the world would wonder. It would, indeed, be a convincing proof, once more, that "somebody blundered. What could justify so extraordinary a pro? ceeding? The Empress, whatever her ma? ternal anxieties, knows that the diminutive Louis, in any event, will not be called upon to endure the ignominies heaped upon the Dauphin in the great Revolution, nor the luxurious excesses which killed the Duke of Reichst?dt. Louis would be as safe with the Prussians in Paris as when he picked up the historic bullet and made the veterans blubber. King William would not interfere with his marbles, nor curb the curvetting of his hobby-horse. And it is hard to see what could have induced the phlegmatic Napoleon to dispatch his heir to an asylum beyond the channel. lithe Emperor intends to abdi? cate, that abdication must be in favor of his son, and that son would never be recalled "rom England to occupy the French throne. Bourbon or Orleans, or the tri-color, would Bil the vacant chair. Nor, if the Emperor dies an Emperor, would it be forgotten that the Prince Imperial had abandoned France when France was most in danger. lias Na? poleon given up the fight; lias he lost cour? age and lost heart, and made up his mind that the conquest of France i3 certain ? This lie cannot have done. The "Reds" have been busily at work impressing upon the peasantry the idea that the war was a war of ?he rich and titled-a war of ambitiou, and aot a war of defence. And the result is. hat the vacillating Ollivier ministry falls without a struggle, and a new ministry is appointed, every member of winch, from Palikao down, is a staunch Bouapartist-a French bitter-ender. The Emperor has no .eason to despair; and, in public estimation, ill the faults of his reign would be as notti? ng in comparison with the crime of packing )ff his son, with a trunk full of diamonds, >n the first approach of danger. The peo? ple expect their Emperor and their Prince Imperial to stand by them to the last, and he desertion of either they would never for rive. The whole affair is so monstrous, so ab? surd, that it can only be explained in one of :wo ways. Either the Emperor Napoleon is i lunatic, or the whole story of Louis and Smith and the diamonds is a pitiless hoax. We prefer to believe the latter. GENERAL BUTLER, the distinguished can iidate of the Reform party for Lieutenant governor, hos been home for a day or two. The Edgefield Advertiser says: "During "bi3 brief stay among us, General Butler "was of course a centre of very general at? traction. His enthusiasm is unabated, and "his hope of the success of the Reform "movement waxes greater and stronger each "day of the campaign. He represents Hie '.whole up-country ns ablaze with fervor for "the Reform party, and expresses his deter "mination to follow up the canvass with the "3ame will, energy and fearlessness that "that have already signalized it." This gallant soldier is doing noble service in the cau3e of honesty and truth. TUE Newberry Herald says : "The Reform "tide increases in volume and power, and "we shall soon hear of scores and huudreds "turning their backs on the Scott Ring, and "their faces to the Reform party. Accouuts "from other districts are equally, and in "some greatly more, cheering. Let every "white man constitute himself a speaker, "and button-hole I*M . eusible voter, and if "he makes an impres ion, keep his hold till "the garment breaks.
