SEWS OF TSE DA.T. -Atold at New York, yesterday, closed at 13jal3j. -Cotton closed dall and easier at 18$ cents; ?ales 1850 bales. -In Liverpool, cotton closed dull; uplands 9?d; Orleans 9jd; sales 10,000 bales. -The wealthiest widow In this country is Mrs. Samuel T. Colt, of Hartford. -Charles Dickens, in twenty-four works, in? troduced to the world 1425 personages. -John Quincy Adams ha? declined to be the Democratic candidate for Governor lu Massa? chusetts. -Somebody stole a diamond butterfly, valued at $2000, from M'lle Nilsson's headgear, In New York, Monday night -Ia Prussia a chemist has received a prize of $30,000 for condensing pea-soup into saus ff' ages. -Affairs have quieted down in North Car? olina, and lt ls doubtful now if evan a single Couservatlve Congressman elect will have his seal contested., -The Berlin National Zeitung states: "The .Germon victories In the field have been fol? lowed by a victory of good taste In the way of 'fashions. The champions of chignons have been routed." -One of Offenbach's later operettas, enti? tled "Tromboleazar," which has recently been sung in London for the first time, has a sneez? ing song, which Is said to produce something of a sensation. It ls impossible to conjecture ^wi&? bodily infirmity Offenbach may yet cause io Co duty In opera. -The Raleigh, North Carolina, Standard edited by J. W. Holden, sen of Governor Hol? de:;, and owned by W. A Smith k Co., has "been suspended for the present, because of ?"business complications in no wise connected ?with the present proprietorship and editorial management." -The Prussian Government considers brandy an excellent drink for the army 'a the field, and even compels every soldier to fill his flask, be?ore he Liases camp. The flasks of the pri? vates hold ratnor more than an ordinary claret bottle. But the nun are temperate in the use .of the liquor, and no harm from it ls reported. -The Israelites Of New York are opening schools on Sunday to keep their children out Of evil associations, and lrom being demoral? ized by a day of hitherto to them purposeless leisure. The Reformed Jews are opening Sun? day schools, and seriously* debating upon the propriety of celebrating Sunday 83 a day of rest, instead of Saturday, as heretofore. -The New York elevated railroad ls not a failure. It was kept running two months, rather by way ol experiment than of profit, and during that time carried 20,000 passen? gers, though only two cars were on the track, The experiment did not pay In money, but lt paid in bringing conviction of the fact that the xoad ls thoroughly practicable. The company will soon put on ten new cars, and extend the - line to the Central Park. -Champagne, it ls believed, will be very acaree for several years, In consequence of the .districts producing that wine and the great depots of Rheims and Chalons, with their mil? lions of bottles, having been occupied by the German armies. This year's vintage is de? stroyed, and thc damage to the owners of the ' vineyards, the wine-makers and the mer? chants, lt ls calculated, will exceed twenty millions of dollars. Of course the sham-pagne wines will still bo produced, and in greater abundance than ever, so that the manufactu? rers o? cider will profit by the war. -It ls mentioned as an illustration of Ger? man system that the transportation of the Sing's armies was effected according to a schedule prearranged In Berlin, regulating the running time of every main and branch rail? road throughout Germany, and so perfect were all connections trat not one train was be- i hied time. The movement of troops began, by this plan, on the 16th or July-one? day after the declaration of war-and on the 27 th j of the same month C00,000 men had been transferred to the frontier without the slight- '' ?.i nccdeut. \ -The proclamation of Governor Shaffer, of Utah, depriving Brigham Young of all control of the militia, is one which seems to threaten a?rions consequences. lu terms the Mormon Sender is not referred to, the proclamation simply forbidding "all musters, drills or gath? erings ot the militia of the Territory of tZJtaii, and all gatherings of any nature within the Territory of Utah, except by my order or the order of the United States .marshal;" and further ordering that all arms ?ar munitions ol war belonging Seither to Ahe United States or the Territory ol Utah within the Territory, not in the possession of Jfaited State3 soldiers, shall be Immediately i delivered to the authorities whom the Govern? or designates. . -The New York Tribune publishes a letter from Chief Justice Chase, written in 1868, ex plainlng.?ira friend his poshl011 on universal, suffrage and 'amnesty, and showing why Jefferson Davis was not sooner tried. The Tribune says the letter has al? ready attained some publicity, but it I doubts whether the Chief Justice's consent I thereto had been secured. Atter speaking of his Indifference to high official position, and his belief that official distinction should only be sought as a meaus for useful service, he says that the restoration of the States to their old position on the basis of universal suffrage and equal rights, is most desirable. He says, this point being secured, all others are secure. He says he has never advocated universal suf? frage and Immediate amnesty to all. He adds: "I have said that universal suffrage would re? concile comprehensive unity with tranquillity and prosperity. I would have no more dis? franchisement after the complete establish? ment of universal suffrage than is absolutely necessary to secure the new order of things and the new State constitutions against over? throw. Those lately in rebellion have no more right to destroy the country by ballots than by bullets." Ia regard to the trial of Jefferson Davis, he says he neither sought nor shunned the responsibility of trying him. He explains at length the condition of the courts in Virginia at that time, and says that up to May, 1863, there was no term of court at Richmond where he could try him, and from that time he had been ready. Union Reform Mass Meetings. "We are requested by the Executive Com? mittee of the Union Reform party to give no? tice that Reform Mas3 Meetings will be held at every Courthouse in the State on the first Monday in October. Prominent speakers have been invited to- address these meetings, and are expected to be present. The names of the speakers at the different Courthouses will be published shortly. The Executive Committees of counties are requested to make such other arrangements as may be necessary. Mass Meeting. A Mass Meeting of the Union Reform party will, be held ia thia city on Tuesday, October li.. General Wade Hampton and General J. B. Kershaw, as well as the standard-bearers I of the Union Reform party, are expected to address the meeting. County Convention. A County Convention of the Union Re forru?p?riy will be held in this city on"Mou day, October 3d, to nominate county officers and memoers of the General Assembly. The delegates will be elected as directed in the official advertisement or the county chairman. Murder Will Ont ! The affidavits which accompany the Con? fidential Circular prove, at least, that the paper, as printed, was actually picked up in' Unionville on the first of September. On the following day one Duncan, a promi? nent Radical, dismounted near the place where the Circular was found and began to hunt about among the dead leaves and rub? bish, which strewed the ground. Some col? ored children, at the bidding of Duncan, joined ia the search, and it was noticed that they carried to Duncan, for bis examination, over}- scrap of paper which they found. A colored servant was sent to ask what they were looking for. and was told that some? thing of value had been lost. This state? ment, with more details, is contained in the letter of Mr. Stokes, of Unionville, enclosing the Circular and affidavits. This is the plain truth. If the Circular be a forgery, the gentlemen who forwarded it to Colum? bia, the Executive Committee of the Reform party who furnished a copy to the press, and the papers which published it, had no band in the work. Besides, if the Circular be a hoax, .it is, at least, a curious coinci? dence that colored men should have been shot down in both Laurens and Barnwell on the day, or the evening before the day, on which, according to the Circular, the killing was to begin. The Black Code. The Williamsburg Star disposes in a very summary way of tue charge that General M. C. Butler advocated the passage of the so called Black Code. It says that General Butler (the Reform candidate for Lieutenant-Gov? ernor) voted No ! on the final reading of the bill. But Colonel Graham, of Marion, (now a brand-new Radical) voted Aye ! and Judge Orr (tuen Governor of the State, now a spick-span new Radical) approved the law without hesitation. The Radical engineers are hoist with their own petard. -. . m ? ? Stockinet ! The myriad readers of Tins NEWS take a lively interest ia the fair of the South Caro? lina Institute, which is to be held in this city in November, and one agitated friend of mora! shows aud progressive idea3 is anx? ious that a certain prize, offered by the In? stitute. 3halt be thrown open to general competition as a sure means of gratifying the public and tilling the treasury. The prize in question is a piece of silver of the value of not more than ten dollars, nor less than two dollars; and it is set down tu the official catalogue in these words: DEPARTMENT OF FANCY WORE. For the best display of stockings by any one person... .Silver.' This is, in sober truth, a starling an? nouncement. May tue fascinating Blanche Chapman, or the sparkling Ella, put in an ippearance for the prize ? What would be the chances of Mrs. Oakes, and the burly Bishop ? Or, do the committee bar their doors against Black Creoks. White Fawns, aud what is politely called the "leg drama?" All thi3 is "Fancy Work" with a vengeance, and involves a display of stockinet awful to contemplate as the companion of mammoth oxeu, prize eugines and odorous superphos? phates. The"staid and dignitied gentlemen who control the affairs of the South Carolina Insti? tute can have had no thought of this. When they offer a prize "for the best display of "stockings by one person," they surely mean stockings-wit!i nothing in 'em. ! "Slow." It waa to be expected, of course,- that the Charleston City Raliway, Uk? other similar enterprises, the country over, should be con? ducted mainly for the benefit of the pockets of the stockholders; and when we say that the company is in a thriving condition and promises to become more profita*- *a still, as the city grows and prospers, we record a fact which which will be gratifying to every right-thinking member of the community. But a company like this, which enjoys a charter exceptionally liberal in its provi? sions, certainly owes something to the pub? lic, if not to the reputation of those entrust? ed with tts management; and when we find its schedule arbitrarily readjusted in disre? gard of the convenience of the citizens at large and in direct conflict with the progres? sive spirit of the times, we feel constrained, on behalf of the people, to utter an earnest protest. "We have always been among those who consider the hour (10 o'clock P. M.) at which, during the summer, the trips of the city cars ceased, as rather too early in the night for the discontinuance of a conve? nience which has grown so indispensable to a large proportion of our people. It was, therefore, with the utmost surprise and re? gret that we saw, the other day, the an? nouncement that hereafter the last car would leave the lower terminus at nine instead of ten P. M. Surely the company has chosen a singular lime to take this backward step 1 Just on the threshold of the busy and the gay season, when our own people are re? turning and visitors from the interior and from the North begin to appear in our streets, when merchants and merchants' clerks find it necessary to keep late hours at their offices, when the weather invites social evening visits and the note of pre? paration 13 heard for the round of public amusements, which are to enliven the fall and winter-this certainly is not the junc ' ture at which the cheery red and yellow lights of the street cars should be removed from our streets. And so say all our people. We would not have additional labor im? posed upon the already hard-worked con? ductors and drivers, bat there are al? ways extra hands eager to act as reliefs, in these capacities, and the public will be loth to believe that the company cannot weir afford to avail itself of the services of these, so that the trips of the cars may henceforth continue up to half-past 10 or ll o'clock. The Force or Habit. The Thieves' Own is so accustomed to the mendacious fabrications of the Scott Ring I that it, innocently enough, measures the conscience of the Reform party by its own yardstick, and declares that the editors of the Columbia Guardian, Columbia Phoenix and CHARLESTON NEWS knew, when they published the Confidential Circular, that it was a base lie. These be big words, surely ; but it strikes us that if the Confidential Cir? cular is so transparent a hoax, The Thieves' Own i3 wasting a great deal of valuable time, and souring its sweet disposition to precious little purpose. MR. CARDOZO, in his address to the Grand Council of the Union League, said that the Southern whites were far too honorable to join the Union Leagues for the purpose of deceiving the freedmen. This truthful re? mark cuts the ground from under the feet of the plethoric Secretary of State. The men who would scorn to become Union Leaguers that they might betray the colored men,, would never be ba3e enough to make prom? ises, as Union Reformers, which they did not intend to keep. This i3 self-evident. Very Likely. We are told hy The Thieves1 Own that a force, "consisting of the State constabulary, "and fifteen men,'' was sent out to quell a disturbance io Newberry. This force en? countered a body of from "six hundred to a "thousand" white men, lying ia ambush, "fully armed with all kinds of shooting wea "pons, and all mounted on horses." The sanguinary thousand did not make mince meat of the daring fifteen, nor did they either fight or run away. A Hag of truce was sent out, and both parties (the fifteen and the thousand) agreed "to disband." Tbe thousand must, indeed, have been mild mannered villains. CONSTABLE HUBBARD i3 reported to have said that "martial law" might bo declared in Laurens and Newberry, and that "thing3 '*would then be worse than when Sherman "passed through." So be it ! Scott is anx? ious to play the role of Holden, and Hub lard would make a marvellously proper Kirk. The people will face the music, as it waa fa:ed in the Old North State. . And the result, here also, will be the defeat of the Ring and the triumph of Reform. The Troubles In Newberry ?nd Laarens. The dispatches from Laurens and New? berry, forwarded by our correspondent at Columbia, show the falsity of the charge that the whites were the cause of the troubles in those counties. There was a wrangle between a white niau named Chap? pell, and a colored man, during which the colored man wa3 hurt. Chappell, if in the wrong, could have been tried aad punished in the courts, bat this wa3 uot enough for the Scott negroes, a band of whom set out to kill the supposed offender. This caused the whites, in turo, to take up arni3, but they, throughout, were the defenders of the law, while tiie Scott negroes were doing their best to bring about a bloody riot. It is distinctly stated, for instauro, that the sheriff of the county accompanied the whites, and that Chappel, the offending white man, was promptly arrested. The blacks, how? ever, threatened to kill the sheriff and his prisoner, and were with difficulty pacifica. This must lead the public to the right con? clusion, viz : That the Radical leaders arc striving to bring on a bloody fight between the whites and blacks, while the whites, and Conservative colored men, are doing what they can to avert riot and disorder. THE Guardian says that the grand Scott meeting, held in Columbia on Tuesday night, wu3 a grand failure. About two hundred persons were present, one-half being women and children. ' RADICAL ECONOMY!
