Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay, Charleston, S. C. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IC, 1870. XE WS OJF THE DAT. -Gold at New York yesterday closed at llj aUK. -The New York cotton market closed strong; uplands l6J?c; sales 7000 bales. -At Liverpool cotton closed Armer; uplands 9#a9>id; Orleans OtfaOXd; sales 12,000 bales. -Mr. Disraeli will probably come to America next year. -Texas proposes to build 2000 miles of railroad m the next ten years. -The Archbishop or Paris has given permission to use horseflesh on last days. -Several wagons Ulled with emigrants from S?rth Carolina, en route to Texas, passed through Knoxville on the ?tb instant. -George Hayward, an eminent English geo? grapher, making explorations in Africa, has been killed by the natives. -Prince Polignac, who commanded a brigade ta trie Confederate army during our civil -ar, is now serving with Garibaldi. -Two hundred colored men and women from different places In North Carolina sailed Wednes? day for Liberia, when> they go to make their homes. -In the Cnlted States Just now there are 2" young women studying theology, with a view to becoming preachers; 19 are studying law, and 07 are studying medicine. -Hon. Fernando Wood is said to be preparing articles of impeachment 'o preheat against Judge Woodford, of New York, at the next session or Congress. -The German organ of the Free Masons, the Bauhntte, states that the collections of the Eng? lish lodges for the families or German soldiers in . the field have reached $350,000. -The Southern States will furnish their quota of peanuts this season as follows: Virginia, 400, ooo bushels; Tennessee, 300,000 bushels, and Georgia and the.Carolinas from l?),ooo to 200,000 bushels. -Fifty Chinamen are'soon to be settled in Shel? by County, Iowa, for tbe purpose of Improving and opening up farms.. This is simply i an experi? ment, but if lt proves successful a large number are to be brought In. -It ls said that there ls no hope af there ever being a large supply of female type-setters In the market. As soon as a girl becomes a proficient and valuable compositor some male printer mar? ries her, and that puts an end to her work in thc printing office. -Tne Church Record says that the Archbishop of Canterbury ls desirous thai a committee of pre? lates should be appointed by the Upper House of Convocation in England to consider a plan for the revision of the Prayer Book. -The Spanish volunteers In Cuba are offering to treat with the Insurgents for a mutual coalition against Spain. The terms proposed by them are that all parties In the Island shall unite In declar ng Cuba Independent; that all Spanish- civilians ta. the country shall retain their possessions; that Spain te requested to withdraw her army and navy, and that a treaty of peace and commerce be offered to her. It ls also proposed that the slave trade be abolished, but that slavery shall be preserved. -The Rhine is German at last-In a military sense. New Brelsach, which surrender^.', cn the loth Instant, was the last of the Rhine fortresses of,any Importance which remained lu French, possession. The capture or Belfort will complete th? military occupation of Alsace. In Lorraine, only Thtonville and Bitche are held by the French, and the early fate of these it ls not difficult to foresee. Then the Vosges and the MeusewUl be? come the western boundary of Germany, and will form a stronger one naturally than did the Rhine. -Ida Lewis, the heroine of Lime Reek, who was married a few weeks ago, we understand, received from the late Mr. Peabody the sum or $5000. The money was placed in trust for the be? nefit of the young lady, therefore Ida was not a dowerlesa bride. It is astonishing that a woman of the light frame of the old lighthouse-keeper's .daughter should be able to pull so strong an oar. She weighs less than one hundred pounds, but ls lithe and sinewy. Her hands are large, feet ditto, and what ls not very pretty lu a heroine whose name has been enshrined In song, she does not show much respect for Lindley Murray. But then she performed a gallant a?:t, and the people hon? or gallantry wherever they find it. -France, lt would seem, before the war, sup? plied the main portion of t' -ig food consumed In London. In 1863, soc, (.*o of eggs were imported Into England; and Land and Water states, on reliable auihorlty, that the quantity at the early pirt of the present year, previous to the declaration of war, was rapidly nearing a propor? tion equal to 1,600,000,000. These vast numbers were btought from Ireland Belgium, Holland and France, the latter country rurnlshlug 700, 000,000. In the Item or eggs alone, then, England promises to seriously reel the effects or the war, unless peace is soon restored; Great attention is given co the rearing or poultry in France, and England has paid the French dealers for dead 1 poultry in a single year the sum or $70,000^000. With the whole country turned into a hostile camp the poultry interest win be nearly destroy? ed, mr it is weU known that soldiers have a pecu? liar fondness for hen r ?osts. i -The Paris Constitutionnel publishes a docu- | meit, of a prophetical character, which, Just at , the present moment, possesses a more than ordi? nary Interest. We allude to a prediction well known in certain parts of France as "The Pro- 1 phecy of Blois.? it was made in 1808 by an ! Ursuline nun or that city? and. she foretold that i troubles would come upon both Blois and France . In 184S and in 1S70. Tue former part of her pre? diction has come true, andi therefore, there is a 1 probability that the latter part of it may also be ! realized. WhOe foretelling terrible troubles to I France in the present year, the nun went on to predict le sauveur aM*-F>-ance. and added that he should be a mai whom the country did not expect. According to her prophecy, the grands malheurs were to begin-after the middle of July -lt will be remembered that che war dates from Just before that time-and before the vintage. The troubles' foretold were to affect 'tho capital especially, In which there was to be a fearful fight and very great massacre, "Both good and bad will fall la hattie, for all thc men will be called out and only the old men left in the place. "The time," adds the nun, "will be short, for the women will prepare the vintages, though the men will return to complete the work. Meantime no news will be obtained, excepting through private letters. Presently three couriers will arrive at BI0I3, of whom the first will bring tidings that all ls lost; the second will bein too great a hurry to stop at all, and ihe third, who will come by fire and water"'-probably that ls by railway- "will be the bearer of good news. A Te Deum wiU then bo sung, such as never has been heard sung before; but this Te Deum wdl not be in honor of him who reigned at the first, but for the saviour granted (accorde) to France." The prophecy or Blois ends by a state? ment to the effect that "the Prince will not be there; they will g: and seek him elsewhere; and after the Prince has ascended the throne, France will enjoy peace and prosperity for twenty years." Civil Service Reform. The peculiar opinions of President Grant with regard to the proper distribution of the spoils of office, cause him to take an active interest in the agitation for "a reform "in the civil service," which is making rapid progress in the Northwest. As things are 1 now regulated, the Senators and Congress? men from the different States parcel out the Federn! patronage; and the whole duty of the President is done when he has caused the nomination, or the appoint? ment, of the persons whose names are hand? ed to him. With a change of policy, or a change of administration, comes a whole? sale massacre of office-holding innocents; but throughout the play the President is ex? pected to hold his tongue, pocket bis opin? ions, and do the bidding of hi3 political supporters. This might satisfy Mr. Grant if he had no friends of his own to reward find make truly thankful. A grateful people elected him Chief Magistrate of these United States, and expected from him, at the least, a dis? play of firmness, impartiality and honesty of purpose. And it must be admitted that he has paid his just debts to the last farthing at the expense of the public The mutitudi nous members of his prolific family, as well as the donors of varnished boots and fur? nished mansions, have been handsomely provided for; and every Northern trip or summer excursion enlarges the list of those who "have claims upon the President," and are willing to take all they can get, from the English mission to a tide-waitership in a Southern port. Senatorsand Congressmen, however, throw cold water upon the gene? rous impulses of the Executive, and de? mand that their friends and adherents shall have a share of the good thing3 possessed by the administration. All this must be changed. The irrepressi? ble Senators and Congressmen ought to be put down, and the President will doubtless give his support to any plan which will re? move all restrictions and enable him, with? out danger, to put the whole Grant-Todd Dent family, and every contributor to the Grant fund, in places where their specula? tive investments of soft words or hard cash may bring them a certain fortune. Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, is already pre? paring for an onslaught upon his brothers in Congress, and talks of bringing up the bill introduced last winter, making it a misde? meanor for senators and members to recom? mend persons for ollie?, cr to solicit patronage from the Executive Department. If, in con? nection with this, there could be contrived a sixteenth or seventeenth constitutional amendment providing that the President shall have the absolute power of appointing and removing at pleasure all officers of the government, from Cabinet ministers down, Mr. Grant would give it as hearty and as. successful a support as that which killed the San Domingo treaty. Civil service reform i3 needed There is no doubt or that." But any measure which' makes the President more despotic aud powerful than he already is, will only in? crease our troubles, cause nepotism to be more general) aud still further lower the character of the office-holders of the country. Cotton Jlunnfacturcs. The statistics of the manufacture of cotton in the United States tor the year ending Oc? tober 1st, 1870, prepared for the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers and Planters, show an increase of 330,443 spindles, and an increase iu the consump? tion of cotton .of 17,310 bales, or 8,066,460 pounds. In the year ending October 1st, 1S69, there were 844 mills in operation, con? taining 6,763,557 spindles, and using 864,254 bales of cotton. In the year ending Octo? ber 1st, 1870, there were S47 mills in opera? tion, containing 7,114,000 spindles, and using 881,564 bales of cotton.. O? the 847 mills, the North .?owned 738, containing 6,851,779 spindles, and the South 109 mills, containing 262,221 spindles. Of the 881,564 bales of cotton manufactured in 1870, the mills in the North used 748,153, and those in the South used C9.067. There were also used 31,744 bales in cotton mills, but not for spin? ning, anti 32.600 bales outside of cotton mills? as in woollen mills aud^or upholstery. lu the State of Massachusetts there are 128 cotton mills, containing 32,149 looms and 304.818 spindles, and consuming iu round numbers one hundred and lifteen million pounds of cotton, or 246.781 bales, counting 466 pounds to the bule. The Northern mills, having- 6,831,779 spindles, it is estimated, produce yaru averagiug iii size number 2S?, and on each spindle 4j skeins of yarn are spun per day of eleven hours. The product of the Northern mills in 1870, making allow? ance for waste, is therefore calculated to amount, to 8,44-4,817,690 skeins of 28? yaru. The consumption of cotton in the Northern 1 mills is placed .at 50.87 poonda in 1S70, against 5L13 pounds in 1SG9, and 59.57 ? pounds in 1868. These figures, it is alleged, confirm the opinion that the goods manu? factured in 1870 are of lighter fabric than those of previous years. The anticipated fall in the price of cotton, consequent on a present excess in supply, sud the war in Europe, together open to man? ufacturers a more fluttering prospect than they have had for some time, as the pro? duction has not kept pace with the supply, md the surplus of manufactured goods is re luced very low. Faint Fraise ? The ;Boaton Advertiser, a flerce supporter of<^vernor Scott, a4r?ita the truth of much that has. been 'said of "the disgracefur.con }Mi?\o? of things" in Sodth (?roltaa, -and praises the Radicals who, iu the. late can? vass, "chose to stand by the (Radical) or? ganization, though the act compelled them "to affiliate with men of the basest personal "character, and the thiuuest veneer of a "politfcal reputation." This is a, rather equivocal compliment, but agrees with the Radical idea that "the party" i3 higher aDd more important than decency, integrity and truth. The Advertiser, however, ls suffi? ciently impressed by the Democratic gains in the North to beseech the South Carolina Republicans "to purify and regenerate" the State, and to substitute "integrity for cor "ruption" in the administration of local affairs. The advice is good, whatever its motive. Carrent Literature. "THE VrviAX ROMANCE." BV Mortimer Collins. New York: Harper & Bros. Charleston: John Russell. The days of the Minerva Press have returned upon the land, and "The Vivian Romance" ls the gorgeous herald of the restored dynasty. Henceforth we will laugh at probability, and utterly scout the musty old unities pf time, place and circumstance. Our hero stall be. here to-day, and at the Antipodes to-morrow-1 heading Greek pirates in the Egean to-day, and to-morrow capering nimbly In a lady's chamber to the lascivious pleasings o? a lute. His coat shall be of "violet velvet, his waist? coat of a brocaded silk, with gold buttons, and In each button a diamond; his trousers of a lavender cloth.."'- -Round his neck he shall wear "a cravat of wondrous lace, and ruffles "of the same" shall hide "the smallest and "whitest hand In the world." He shall have "long, bright yellow hair, curling over his "shoulders, with a silken Vandyck beard to "match, and the softest of golden mustaches." His eyes shall be "large, as blue as steel, as "keen as a Toledo rapier." He shall smoke cigarettes and read Alfred de Musset. He shall have "diamonds and rubies and things "an awful lot." He shall write erratic lays, "witty, wicked stories, in octavo rhyme," mingled with "passionate lyrics and lurid i "ironies." He shall "differ from Pope, opin? ing that the proper study of mankind is "women;" and shall, therefore, carry off Greek girls In "short-sleeved saffron vests" from Egean Isles, and flirt with rustic beauties in woods and caverns. He shall turn highway robber for his own amusement, and shall thus reply to carping critics who "object to the "whimsical fantasies of an effervescent mind -'dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, " 'there shall be no more cakes and ale ? And, " 'because thou art solemn asd stupid, preferr " 'lngsmall-beer to all other liquids, shall there " 'henceforth be no effervescence of cham " 'pagne ?' " And thus triumphantly refuting all calumnies, he shall glide gracefully off thc stage in a blaze ot colored splendor, and close the gorgeous "spectacular drama" with "amorous fantasies among the pale red "oleander blooms" of lovely Genoa. ' Mr. Mortimer Colllns's strong point ls alliteration. We may sum up "Ihe Vivian "Romance" in a sentence made up irom his own vocabulary, thus : "Valentine Vivian, "volatile, versatile, vivacious, vestured In vlo "let velvet, vixit voluptuously and vlllanously.". Lady Eva, one of the .numerous heroines, is "little and lissome, fluent and flexile." Farmer Ashow Is '*a macilent . man," and the talk ol "parson, policeman and poet" at dinner table is "lewd and lax." The story is a mass of ab? surdities; and yet, In spite ol all tlils, the book, really valuable os a curiosity of literature, is also very amusing and .entertaining-full of clever, though disjointed talk, and in some of Its "lurid ironies" showing much acute per? ception. Here are a few epigrams, taken at random, which strike us as very happy : "Aa Anglican parson, lt he sees a stranger within his precincts, gets out of his way; a priest of thc Roman communion does Just the reverse." "Vivian had a theory to the effect that if you flirt with a woman you will soon And her ^ut." "The whole duty of man, in these times, may be described as reverence to himself and Irreverence to everybody else." " 'Know ths'self ls ax] absurd old maxim; the thing can't be done; why try * Believe in thysell, O man, and, on no account, believe in anybody else." Mr. Collins is somewhat famous as the au? thor of a novel called "Sweet Anue Page," which has never been reprinted in this coun? try, but where the Esoteric mysteries of femi? nine paraphernalia were elaborately discussed, to tile great delight and scandal of the British public. His present book has no such dubious Interest, but It will probably bu quite as widely read, and will be popular with many in spite of, and with more because ot, its extravagant sensationalism.
