The transaction took place ; between representatives of substantial bust ness houses and extensive planters. -The recent riot of Chinese laborers on a Louisiana plantation, or "strike" for higher wages, shows that the Chlaamen will, alter living here awhile, learn the secret oi getting all they can for their labor, and will resort to the same means for that end that other work ? men adopt. -It ls related of the Empress Eugenie that on her return from Cherbourg, at dinner at St. - Cloud, she surprised ail present by proposing a toast. The fortunate mortal thus honored was no other than M. Thiers. The assembled guests could not believe their ears. Her Hajesty condescended to explain: "To M. Thiers, to whom we are indebted for the for ti - . ?cations of Paris, a work which now enables ns to send to the frontier 100,000 men who otherwise could not have been spared." -The destruction of the railway viaduct ot Bltsche, a short time before the advance move? ment of the Prussians, was looked upon as an enterprising expedition but minor affair. Its Teal importance has been developed by later events. The purpose of the expedition, made evident by biter movements, was the separa? tion of McMahon's corps irom the rest of the French army, and was preliminary, in fact, to : the movements of the Crown Prince upon Weissenburg and Hagenau. Upon Its success depended,'in a large measure, that of the dar lng movement which broke the French line at Weissenburg and Wourth. -AttorneyjGenerai Akerman, in conversa? tion the other day, remarked that tho condi? tion of North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor? gia, Florida and other States, is deplorable, because, among other reasons, the Legisla? tures, instead of paying strict attention to such business as would advance their material wel? fare and fully establish themselves In their for? mer prosperity, have yielded to railroad and other lobbyists, and that legislative bodies which subject themselves to such Influences are always exposed to unfavorable criticism; therefore there Is urgent need of reform or wholesome reconstruction. -The Gazette, of Augsburg, (Bavaria,) pub? lishes a list of the prelates In the council at Borne who voted against the dogma of iniulll bllllty, eighty-eight of whom voted against It unconditionally, and sixty-one conditionally. The American bishops voting unconditionally were Bishop Domin?e, of Pittsburg, Pa.; Bishop Fitzgerald, ot Little Rock, Ark.; Bishop McQuald, of Rochester, N. Y., and Archbishop Kenrick, or St. Louis; also Archbishop Con? nolly, of Halifax; Bishop Rogers, ot Chatham, And Bishop Bourg?t, of Montreal, British America. Yoting against the dogma con? ditionally were Archbishop Blanchet, of Ore? gon; Archbishop McCloskey, of New York; Bishop Amal, of Monterey, and also Bishop JDemers, of Vancouver. -Frank Thorne has had enough of jumping for the present. He will not disturb the eddles of Niagara River this season. That leap of one hundred and twenty-five feet from the roof of an elevator, Into the Buffalo River, has sufficed for his ambition. As Thorne ls the only man who has lived to describe his sensa? tions after dropping such a distance through the air, lt ls Interesting to learn his experi? ences. For the gratification of contemplated auicldes, he says that no sense of pain was at j my time experiences, -ither tn his descent or when he struck the water with such terri? ne violence. To be sure, three seconds ls not a-long period for reflection, but three seconds in such a position ls equivalent to a much longer time in another. His thoughts, then, were that lt was pleasant, "perfectly happy;" next, that he was sprawling too much and would probably be killed, or, as he expressed lt, "Good-by, Frank;" finally he felt as ii in a dream he had fallen, without pain. It is evident that the rapid passage through the air took away the young man's nerve, and that the instinctive and irresistible Impulse to grasp something forced his arms and legs to grope through the air In the man? ner which so nearly caused his death by throw? ing him on his side. The subsequent sensor tlons were not so agreeable as those preceding the fall. For about half an hour, he was un? able to breathe with any satisfaction, and he compares his present aensatlons with those which might ensue from a beating with a board. As Thorne declares that he has no appetite, not even for poached eggs or toast, jumping from elevators cannot be recommend? ed as a good morning exercise. Probable Effect of the Invasion of France-A German View. The commercial prosperity of the South depends in so large a degree upon the dura? tion o? the European war-a war, moreover, which enlists on either side the wannest sympathies of our people-that we think it due to the public to placo before them a well digested review of the military and political situation, even when it does not accord with the opinions entertained by this paper, and expressed in its columns. We therefore print the following article', which fs especially di? rected to a discussion of the effect likely to be produced upon the patriotic ardor and warlike spirit of the French people by the invasion of their country by the armies of Germany. The writer of the article is an able critic and a close observer, and his opinions deserve, and will doubtless obtain, a thoughtful consideration : "Those who believe the advance of the German army on the soil of France will have the same general and permanent effect on the French people, which the inva? sion of the German army under the com? mand of the Duke of Brunswick in 1792 produced, appear not sufficiently to consider the vast difference of circumstances which existed then and now. . "In 1792 the sovereigns of Germany, backed secretly by England and Russia, had united in a coalition for the purpose of over? throwing the popular government which had jeen gradually formed in France since 1789. Partly instigated by the French emigrated no? bility, who had represented the condition of Trance as favorable to foreign interference, >artly from motives of self-interest and in lefence of their own sovereign rights, the coalition determined to interfere in the nternal affairs of their western neigh- ' >or, and to reinstate Louis XVI on the ibsolute throne of his ancestors, against the ?ill of his (former) subjects. No nation voulu have quietly submitted to such dicta ion from abroad, least of all the French talion. The impolitic, not to say insolent, nanifesto of the Duke of Brunswick, in vhich he declared that any resistance on the >art of the French people to the objects of iis mission would be visited upon them with ire and sword, the dictatorial tone which pervaded this strangely infatuated document, ?ould have no other effect than to call forth he unanimous and enthusiastic determina ion of the French people not to sheathe the iword until the invader was driven from heir soil. Hence, with perhaps the excep ion of the Court, the dissident clergy and me or two departments under the influence >f this clergy, the French united as one man n defence of their country and their newly icquired liberties. It is true, the declaration if war proceeded in 1792, as in 1870, from he French. However, it is not the party vhich declares war, but the one which makes var necessary, that must be held responsible or it, and it wa3 the coalition on whose ihouldei'3 that responsibility rested. How lifferent U the state of affairs nowl We viii not examine the irreconcilable enmities ind jealousies of the Romanic and Ger nanic nations, as deeply rooted as the mis lion which both are appointed to fill in the 1 listory of the world is different; we will not ( Iwell on the necessity of deciding sooner or ' ater the future predominance of the one or he other, which may lie at the bottom of ' he whole trouble; we cannot, placed thus 1 ar from the theatre of action, judge whether ' Ji3marck or Napoleon, by any undue desire ' if territorial aggrandizement, have made ' >eace between the two leading nations of 1 Continental Europe impossible; we can only 1 ldge of the immediate events which have ( aused France to draw the sword. And 1 tere the conviction force3 itseir upoh our aind, that, however loath the Emperor napoleon may have been to commence war it this time, he has been driven into it by he increasing dangers which have threat- i med him at home, rather than by any imme- ' hate and flagrant dereliction on the part of ' Prussia. Approaching possibly the ?nd of i ii3 earthly career, with the fiascos of Mexico | md Sadowa to wipe out, pressed by nume- ' .ous and, in part at least, unscrupulous ad- 1 .ersaries at home, knowing that the French 1 jet easily tired of everything old, and feel- : ng that he himself is growing old-for he , ios reigned twenty years-with a bigoted , ind uupopular wife and a little boy towards | vhom the French nation has uever exhibited my marked sign3 of affection, he waa com jelled to play ~va banque," to commence he war, and to commence it now, in order ;o insure, if possible, the permanence of his lyuasty after his death. Thus forced by ?ircumstances beyond his control, Napoleon las been driven to pick a quarrel with the lated hereditary enemy of his nation, he has leclared war without flagrant provocation, vithout immediate just cause. A3 Thiers, limself a bitter enemy of Prussia, has said, io should have fought last year or wait until ?ext year. But he could do neither, for last .earlie was not ready and next year might je too late for him. The sympathies of the catling European nations have thu3 from the jeginning of the quarrel been turned against lim ; but what a powerful element of success ire not such universal sympathies at the present day, and who can calculate their ultimate effect on toe French people, in case repeated defeat convinces them of the im? probability, the impossibility of success ? "But to return to the point from which we ?tarted. The advance of the North-Germau inny into France can hardly be termed au nvasiou, uor wili sensible Frenchmen view X as such 03 sooa as their present excite merit has somewhat calmed down. Napo? leon has attempted to invade German terri? tory. He has been foiled, defeated. What else could the Prussians do after their victory than to advance on French soil?' However, they have, done so slowly; they have pub-, lished no manifesto, offensive to French pride, in which they threaten conquest or even overthrow of the present government of France;" on the contrary, Bismarck has expressly declared, that the war on the part of Germany is no war of French conquest, but solely an assertion and defence of Ger? man interests. But these interests are a consolidation of a whole united Germany, and nothing else. This tho Germans must have, nor will the war end without its firm establishment. But will the French, when they have recovered from the first shock of wounded pride, when they have, perhaps, received new evidences of Prussian disci? pline and prowess, when they become aware that the present occupation of French soil is only a military necessity, ilrat no interfer ' ence with their internal affairs is intended any farther than the security of German in? terests may require-will the French nation then, without division, persist in its present enthusiastic resolve, 'to drive out the inva? der,' or will not rather parties spring up, which will hamper the government until they efiect its downfall? Orleanists and Republi? cans, however patriotic, will work with re? newed vigor for the overthrow of the Napo? leonic dynasty, for, as Mignet say3, 'French patriotism always has an eye towards get? ting into power.' But if Napoleon falls, what next? Who can tell? If a Republic is established will the excesses of 1793 be repeated? Will the war then be prolonged by foreign interfereuce in order to put down such excesses, so dangerous to the rest of Europe ? Or will the French welcome back the Comte de Paris, the son of the beloved Duke of Orleans, and of a Mecklenburg Princess, connected by blood with the Royal house of Prussia ? If Napoleon has to fall and we should deeply regret it, for he has been a great ruler, a true Frenchman, and the promoter of the present greatness of France-we sincerely hope the latter, for the sake of peace, civilization and for all the best interests of mankind." "Reasonable" Taxation. The following letter gives the particulars of one of the thousands of cases in which land-owners have been oppressed by the un? just taxation of the Scott Ring. The letter speaks for itself: CAJ?OEX, S. C., August 17, 1870. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. T see that you ask land-owners to report ali cases of excessive taxation which have come within their knowledge. I only speak for myself. My land is mostly pine land, and when I purchased lt, my papers will show it only cost me about five thousand dollars. I have sold about five hundred acres, and yet own two thousand eight hundred acres. The price paid for most of it was trom one to 'wo dollars per acre, and about seven hundred acres of it only cost me sixty-six cents per acre. Now, when the assessment was made on lt in 18C9 the price was put at nine dollars and fifty cents per acre. The amount of assessment was about twenty, six tliousand dollars, and my taxes were about two hundred dollars. I refused to pay it and sent on to some board for a reduction, and it was reduced a little-I suppose about enough to pacify me to pay it, like giving the child one more plum to keep him quiet. The land-own? ers are certainly dealt harshly with, as far as taxes are concerned. E. PARKER. Let us have more facts I The unvarnished truth, without comment, will ruin the Scott Ring beyond any hope of recovery. Scott and his associates boast that taxation lias been "reasonable." It may be "reasona? ble" to them. A robber may call it ''rea? sonable" if his companions filch one tenth of his ill-gotten gains. But to tax the hon? est citizen in a like proportion, is a burden no people can endure. The Sumter News and General Butler. We have received for publication ' 'A Card" in which H. L. Darr and N. G. Osteen, the proprietors of the Sumter Netos, and L. B. Gay, its editor, deny categorically the truth of the statemeut, alleged to have been made by General M. C. Butler, at Lexington, that "the Sujnler Neics has been bought up by Scott." If General Butler did make the statement attributed to him by our reporter, tie believes the charge to be true: but we ;heerfully lay before the public the emphatic lenial of those who must best know what ire the political and financial connections of their journal. The "Card" itself is too ln lemperate In its language to be printed-in ihesc columns. A Chance for Scott. E. W. Seibels, Esq., iu behalf of the Exe? cutive Committee of the Union Reform party, writes : "I have received several messages and unof? ficial communications, intimating that the Re? publican party would meet us In discussion lt we would permit them. It they will send me an official communication from their party, they will receive a proper answer. I am ready to arrange the terms of discussion with any one authorized to meet me on the subject. The gauntlet has been thrown down; we call upon the champions of the Republican party to take it up; lt cannot be done by proxy." Here is an opportunity which, we feel sure, his Excellency Governor R. K. Scott, will not allow to pass unimproved. Carpenter should look to his laurels, for we all know Governor Scott is an accomplished orator. Thc Progress of Reform. There is a wealth of encouragement for the friends of Reform in the extracts from the State papers printed in our issue of to? day. The whole up-country is in a glow.

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 of their merits, Ac There ls hardly a eity 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. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still farther Improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without 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 B$ans. bi short, we think it the best that is made, at least, this ls the decision of the best judges tn * i 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.
