A German paper states'that" In thc province of Westphalia, at the beginning br October, there were 11,817 married womeu.the Wives and widows or soldiers, together with 22,713 children, obtaining relief fi om the public funds. In Hanover, 9021 women and 26,418 children were" dependent upon the public for support.': In the Rheuisu provinces there were 14,312 married women and 29,C19 fatherless ' children who wereattcrly.dr-stttate. Thus, In only three Prussian provinces there were, last October, 35,753 women and 73,750 childi en in a condition of misery and want, and It ls believed that desti? tution to the same extent prevails lu the other provinces' of Prussia. Thc price of provisions is extraordinarily high, and the winter, lr. ls predict? ed, will be unusually s-vcre. The injury done by the potato rot aud the rinderpest, has also been severe, and the condition or the ramilles or the peasanta left at home ls very miser ible. About nine-tenths ofthe males are In the landwehr, and the women abd children thaijdeprived of their natural supporters will, it ls feared, perish from starvation. -An Englishman who lea Paris oa the 8th aud arrived at Brussels*on the 17th of November, ad? dresses a letter to the Independence Beige on the state of Parla. He says, that life there Is still more than endurable. Eaoh. inhabitant receives fifty grammes or meat a day; beer at one franc twenty centimes, and horse flesh at one franc a pound. Beer and mutton wilt last till the end or the monti?* there win still remain 45 603 horses and Immense quantities of salt meat stored at the New Opera, so that there will be enough meat for at lea3t"fSree raoirths. Bread ls secured till lie ead of April, and wine and spirits for two years. The writer was a, member of a dining club of eight. Tho dinner wa? usually composed of meat, soup, vegetables, cheese, wine, coffee, and bis bill Tor the last week bad only amounted to fourteen francs fifty centimes. In the muni? cipal Kitchens a litre of soup with vegetables can be had for thirty-five centimes. The poor receive food grati*. Each National Guard receives one franc fifty centimes dally. Those who do not stand In need of pay hand it bick to che govern? ment. They have been completely equipped to tke number of 400,030. The guardians of public security named by the government have disap? peared, and police duty ls now done by the Na? tional Guard. The greatest privation is the waut of news from outside Paris. -A review of the elections in the West ls not more encouraging to Radicalism than the first re? turns proved to bc. Missouri suffered the worst demoralization, from which ihe Administraron party has only now sufficiently recovered to as? sert that lt was not the revenue reform sen? timent which elected Gra:z Brown, but the enfranchisement issue. But as the Presi? dent was equally committed against Brown on each point, the distinction ls of little ac? count. Michigan, too, has been a disappoint? ment. Two years ago Grant had 31,000 majority in that State. Now the Radical candidate for Governor comes In with less than half that. But worse than all was Ute manner lu which these recreant Republicans treated the amendment striking the word ..white" from the State consti? tution. They passed It by only 1000 majority, and lae-'moral effect" ls not what wasex#R::ed. In Illinois the Democratic gains were enormous, ag? gregating over 41,000, while Kentucky sends nine Democratic Congressman, with a majority of 33,000. The latest news from Florida confirms the election of Democrats to Congress, a majority In both houses of the Legislature, and the Lieu? tenant-Governor. In all quarters thc breaking up has begun, and even such victories as the Radicals gained at the late elections are accom? panied by losses In popular strength which give them the character of defeats. The Extension ot thc City Limits. Tbe General Assembly has now before it a bill for tbe extension of the limits of the City of Charleston. A copy of the bill has not been published, but it is understood that the proposition is substantially the same as tbat which was made and defeated last ses? sion. The bill then, to the best of our in? formation, proposes that the corporate limits be extended so as to embrace all that neck o? land between the Cooper and Ashley Rivers, as far as tbe extreme northern limit of the former Parish of St. Philip. This would add largely to the territorial extent of the city, and would add about 3500 to the voting population. This latter consideration is the one, we presume, which leads to the introduction of the bill. At the elections in October last, Charleston City was carried by the Conservatives. The term of oflice of the present Mayor and Aldermen expires next fall, and it is hoped that an extension of the limits of the city, bringing in'a large num? ber of country negro voters, will enable the Radical elemeut to retain control of the mu? nicipal government. Upon this point there are some very ob? vious considerations which will, it ts hoped, be weighed well by the members of the Le? gislature. In the first place it has never been the*custom, until within the past two years, to make tho Charlestons elections a political fight. Men were chosen because of their fitness, and not because they were Whigs or Democrats. Thi3 is what we de? sire now, aud if any faith ls to be placed in popular sentiment, it is the firm determina? tion ol the Conservative people of the city tpel??cttufe best men, whether they be Radi- ] cals, Democrats, or neither. What is need? ed ie a capable and trustworthy administra? tion of the oflaire, o? the city. The people cannot alford to run Charleston as a political machine, unless they want to play ducks and drakes with their hard-earned dollars, and to make it impossible for the city to bear the burden by which it ls oppressed, i But. there is a higher consideration than this. Charleston is the largest city in the State, and pays a goodly proportion of the lotal State taxation. In a thousand ways, direct and contingent, Charleston ls a bene? fit to the State. We say nothing about love and reverence. It is a business matter, and we prefer so to treat it. Now, what is our condition ? The city hos-abuge debt, which tn some shape, must be paid. The interest alone is over $300.000 a year, and instal? ments of the principal fall due every year. Besides this, there are the working expenses of the city government. The police must lie kept up; the Fire Department must be paid; the roads and sidewalks require repairs; the poor are to be taken caro of. There are a thousand things to be done, and with a tax of two percent, for city purpose*, on all real and personal property, the government eau barely mike bo'-h enJs meei. Doubtless, lhere is some waste, but if every.dollar how raised by taxation were discreetly and wisely spent, the city would not have a cent to spare. It may b? possible to reduce taxa? tion. At all events, we hope so. On the other hand, it is certain that any increase of tax? ation for ordinary expenses will lower the value of properly, check building, throw mechanics and laborers out of employment, aud make it virtually impossible for the city to compete successfully with its more fortu? nate rivals. This is'plain reasoning, and yet it ts proposed to swell the volume of taxa? tion. In other words, au extension of the city limits will increase the expenses of the government without increasing in the same degree the amount of taxable property. ' The neck of laud proposed to be added to the city is of small value in compari? son." with the value of . land in the city proper. As soon as the addition is made, the taxes of property on the neck will be largely Increased. Proparty-liolders lhere will hs.ve to do their part in paying tho ex? penses of the city. Their tax will be more thati two per cent., because for the protec- j tion of the annexed territory there will be re? quired additional police, additional laborers, more roads, more offisials, more drains and the liKe. The cost of these will be more than the revenue to be derived from thc new territory. A higher tax will be needed, and the . neck will have to pay the same rate upon ?tswarap or potato plantation that is paid upon a mammoth stope or a residence upon the Battery. IQ this way, as we have shown, an cxteasion of the city limits is only another way of expressing the certainty of diminished trade and increased Lax a Lion.. . We approach this matter .ia no party spirit. We are willing and anxious that everything possible should be dODe which will benefit the city and, through the city, the Slate. May it not be hoped that the Legislature will discuss tho City Extension bill in the same vein and with the same honest purpose, to act deliberately and do what is just aa J right ? NOTICE has been given of a bJM toautbor ize-the commissioners of.Cbarle?ton County to levy it tax of twenty thousand dollars. This may be all right, but the -public would like to know where all the money goes to. Checks on the County Treasurer have beeu hawked about, for months at a lime, at ten and fifteen per cent, discount, and it i9 com? monly believed that the commissioners have contracted liabilities largoly in excess of their estimated income. We should like to see a statement of the receipts and expendi? tures for the la?t two years, together with a statement of the outstanding claims. Can this be had? .OUR Columbia correspondent assures the public that the bill repealing the act of 1866, which repealed the old usury laws of the State, will bo thoroughly discussed liefore it is acted upon. What both the friends and opponents of usury laws should desire is a careful consideration of the whole subject, and a deliberate and thoughtful decision. Wo are confident that the result will be a determination to let things stand as they are. AND wc find that the people of the inte? rior are awakening to the injury that would be done them by the passage of Mr. Wilkes'^ usury bill. The Marion Star says, very pro? perly, that the planters whom the bill is in? tended to protect would be the principal sufferers. It says that we need capital in our State, and any law enacted at this time restricting the rate of interest to seven per cent., when money is actually in demand at one; two and three per cent per month, ac? cording to the necessity of the borrower, would be UDjustand unreasonable. No sane man will borrow money except be can make it a source of profit, and consequently will never give more than a just equivalent for its use. TO-MORROW is the day appointed by the General Assembly for the election of an As? sociate Justice of the Supreme Court, and a Judge of the Charleston and Orangeburg CirculL We believe that the only promiuent candidate for the latter office is Colonel Graham, of Marion. For the Supreme Bench, Judge Wright, the present incumbent, is again in the field. The fact that he is a negro may not count much either way, out it is admittod that he is a mere lay figure on the bench, and knows notbing of law. He said himself, a few months ago, that he was unfit for the place and would not be a can? didato for re-election. Wby not take him at bis word, and give the peoplo a Judge who is worthy, by his attainments and dignity, to be one of the members of the Appeal Court of tbs State.
