SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1871. jar-THE PRICE OF SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE .?'DALLY NEWS" IS NOW EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. NEWS GE TUE DAY. -In New York, yesterday, gold closed at loxaio*. -Cotton closed unsettled at 16c -Ia Liverpool, on Thursday, cotton closed flat and irregular; uplands 7%asd ; Orleans 8)?a8Xd. -Indiana ls emphatically a railroad State. -Out of ninety-three counties In the State, seventy one are crossed by one or more railroads. -Gloves are made in England with a pocket on the inside of the palm to suit the habit indulged In by the rab: sex of carrying money there .-A sale of ready-made coffins at auction took place at Lincoln, Nebraska, recently. A black walnut article, with sUver trimmings, brought $25, the purchaser being a man whose wife was very-sick. -An enthusiastic Connecticut Democrat makes the following propositions: First. $1000 that John T. Hoffman will be nominate] and elected presi? dent. Second. $1000 that Gilbert C. Walker,' or virginia, will be nominated and elected vice-presi? dent. Third. $1000 that Walker will receive the larger popular vote. Fourth. $1000 that the State of Connecticut wUl give a. majority for Hoffman and Waiker. -The Chinese outrages at Tlen-Taln, at which the Christian world was horrified not long ago, have been followed by similar brutal demonstra? tions against Protestant and Catholic missiona? ries in other parts of the Kingdom. At Sm Chow, for example, a Protestant chapel was sacked, and several Chinese converts murdered; a Catholic mission at Ta Ts u an g shared the same fate, and one or more chapels between Pekin and Tien-Tsln are also reported to have been plundered and burned. -The Washington Patriot says: "In.con*radlc tion to the impressions which have prevailed in some quarters that the President will remedy his neglect in not recommending general amnesty in his last annual message by making that saggestlon when Congress reconvenes, comes the statement that he will then suggest an Investigation into the condition of affairs Sooth. This Is calculated to ? give strength to the belief that Grant, Influenced by certain prominent Radicals, is willing and even anxious to have the question of. reconstruction reopened until after tho next Presidential elec tlon. An official suggestion from the Executive that such legislation be entered upon wonld by no means receive unanlmons endorsement by toe party which elected- him. That. lt will be at? tempted may be' regarded as a most plausible supposition. The report that the President has in view sich sn geest ion s comes direct from the best informed friends of the administration." -The Parisians are exercising their minds over a curious problem, namely, whether lt ls more economical to eat bread or to use lt for the pro? duction of horse beef. Forage has become so scarce that masy valuable horses are red on bread. This use or human rood has been pro? nounced scandalous In some quarters, while on the other hand it is argued that If the horses are slam now the chances for fresh meat in the fu? ture are destroyed. The question ls not quite so simple as it seems. A horse will yield a certain number of pounds of meat. Now, will the bread required to keep that hone in the same condi? tion, say for thirty days, be wasted? The Pari? sians are not out of-fresh meat now; but In thirty day?they may be, and at tho expiration of that time will the carcass of the horse be of enough more value to them than lt ls now to compensate for the loss of the bread required to sustain the none daring the given time? . -The steamship De Soto, on the line between v New York and New Orleans, was, on the night of December 31,1870, totally destroyed by fire, on the Mississippi River, twenty-five miles below New Orleans. The cargo consisted of one thous? and barrels ur molasses, two hundred hogsheads or sugar, ana nine hand red and eighty-eight bales of cotton, and with the steamer waa valued at $250,000. The De Soto, a steamship of 1577 tons, waa built m New York, in 1S59 for the Hav? ana and Gulf trade, and In 18S1 was purchased by the United States Government as a cruiser and blockader, in which capacity she performed good service puring the war. At the close of the war, the navy having been ordered to be reduced, she was sold and reconvened into a merchant steamer, and was considered a staunch, sea? worthy,, boa: of fair speed. The destruct L n of the De Soto, it ls stated; wi.l prove a heavy loss tithe already small fleet of ocean steamers own ed by the merchants or tlie-United States. ^-nwwar having convinced; the French that tljjir'system of field artillery ls inferior to that or the Prussians, they are making strenuous efforts to improve it. Thesole merit or the French sys? tem is its simplicity. Their fleld-plece, as a muz? zle-loader, eompares favorably, both in mechan? ism of gun and In simplicity of ammunition, with the more complicated breech-loader of the Prus? sians. . Here, however, the superiority ends. In accuracy, in flatness of trajectory, and in velocity, the Prussian field-piece Is by far the more power-: foi weapon. Mach of this ls due to the call ire. The French cannon, rave cfc; 4 ls a bronze muzzle loader, converted Into a rifle gan by grooving the ol? f-pounder smooth-bore, the calibre of whloh ls zy_ \acn: The calibre of the Prussian steel 4-pound ev 1?, however, only Al Inoh; Ita projectile, conse quent ly, au hough or the same weight, Is of lees sec jonai area than that or the French gun. The Prussian shells are, therefore, better adapted to -overcome the resistance which the air opposes to au bodies moving through it, and the result ls that they retain better their original velocity. -As an example of great branches or Industry -Which for the time being maybe regarded as ?vriioUy destroyed In Frasee, that or toe maru rae t are- ortt? gloves may be particularly referred to. This Industry, although baringLlts centre nomi? nally ta-Pam ta really distributed over the whole of Northern France, and affords occupation to large number of people tn widely distant loee ties. Thus, the Fkins, a luge number or whi are Imported from Italy, Switzerland and O many, are tanned at Besancon, Beauvais, Lui ville, and a multitude of other places, and th sent to Pans, where tue gloves, after being cur pattern, are distributedthroughouttheprovtnci to be sewed by women, who work at th homes. It ls thus obvious that with all means intercommunication and transport broken up prevented between Farts and the provinces, tl industry mun of necessity bo brought to a co plef e stand-still, even though the export derna continues unabated, and the price In forel countries becomes greatly augmented. - ^n tlie 26th or November thc Paris Lett Journal has the roilowing upon the subject or pi visions : "Now we havo reached the period or t salt meat regimen; but there still remains a cc si Jerable quantitly or cattle, so that we shall ha rresh meat from time to time. Wo have, mo over, in order to remedy the evils which may pi sibly arise from the use of salt meat, a quanti of vegetables, both fresh and preserved. 1 shall have bread nntll the end of January, wli ont the necessity of giving lt out In rations. Ri< sugar, coffee and wl_. will last much longer, a these aliments will enable us to continue thc' slstance not only without any falling off lu t public health, but the pr servation or all t necessary vigor. Meanwhile we accept the s nation with the best grace in the world. T first few days certainly did appear to us rath rough, but we have become accustomed to t thing now, and the more privations increa the less people appear to mind them. One cu oas ract 13 that the resignation ls greatest amoi the upper classes. At every moment, perso accustomed to a sumptuous table may be hea to speak with the greatest Indifference of t time when our nourishment may bc reduced bread and wine. But we have every reason hope that we shall not be reduced to such an e tremlty, and that approaching events will chant the condition of things. Nevertheless it ls w to be prepared for everything, and the cool d termination of our population, nnder present c curastances, does the greatest honor to Parish patriotism.^_ A Daniel Come to Jad g ment. The Columba Union, which is an occ sional advocate of practical reform as we as a constant shrieker for militia and ma tial law in the upper counties of the Stat prints u capital article urgi?g the Goner; Assembly, refreshed by Christmas carousing to compel men to pay the poll tax. Tb Union suggests that "no man shall vot "until he has first paid the tax." With a our heart. But the State Constitution, articl 10, section 5, provides that "no person sha "ever be deprived of the right ofsufTrog "for the non-payment, of said tax." Thi proviso was intended to prevent the enforce ment of the collection* of the poll tax froi those who have no personal or real prop erty. And it does it very effectually. The Union next recommends that some c the useless and unnecessary salaries no paid to school officers be cut off and th amount added to the pay of school teachers "Poor pay, poor preach," is an old adage as true of the knights and dames of th ferule, as it is untrue of most of our officials whose public utility is in the inverse ratio o the amount of their salary. Our contem porary wants to cut down the pay of th? county commissioners, and is amazed be cause many who went into office poor ai church mice, roll in carriages and dress it fine clothes every day. It cannot conjee ture how this is done on a salary of three dollars a day. The Union is too innocent Discounts, percentages and direct stealing do itali! It is recommended by the Union that ? bill be introduced in the General Assembly fixing the salaries of County Treasurers ai $1500 per annum; County Auditor, $1000 School Commissioners at from $250 to $500, ia proportion to population of the county: and County Commissioners at $250 per an? num, with no perquisites. Another feature should be incorporated in each- bill, and that is, to make the County Anditor the clerk ol the Board of County Commissioners. Throw the Laud Commission aud the Bureau of Ag? ricultural Statistics into one, and place cue officer at the head, with a salary of $2000 per nanum. Upon such a scale as this, there could be saved to the State, every year, at lea3t one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This is healthy talk, and we print, in its own words, the aguments of the Union in support of its views: "Just as competent, faithful men can be se? cured to discharge the duties of these officers at the .salary indicated above, as we now have. Indeed, we think, men who have other dut> to perform, besides that of attending to an office that does not necessarily require one half their time, are better fitted for such a po? sition, and will do better service for the State, than those who expect to make a living from their office. We tcoulditke to see this pernicious system of making a living from a minor o?ce broken up. There ?B nothing to prevent a school commissioner, or county commission? ers, or even auditors and treasurers, from do? ing other business at least halt the year, but lt ls useless to expect these gentlemen to do any? thing of the kind so long as they are paid the salaries now given them. . "There is not another State in the Union that pays so liberally for such limited service. Some of our friends in office, particularly school commissioners, in writing lo us take issue on that point, and say that nearly all States pay these officers the same salary that ls allowed by law here. We do not intend'to dispute this assertion in the abstract, because we know it to be true; but what we do say is, that thc officers LU other States are compelled to render five times as much service as can possibly be required of officers of this class in this State. Let us Illustrate. '.Pennsylvania pays county school commis? sioners atthe rate of $1000 per annum, but In that State there is scarcely a county that has less than one hundred and fifty public schools, while in this State there are but few counties that have one-fifth of that number. There thc commissioner is compelled to be at work at his official duties all the time, and then he can visit the various schools lu his county but about twice a year. Here a commissioner has no such duties to perform, and consequently should not receive any such salary. "In New Jersey, which has an excellent school law, the commissioners are paid ten cents per head for every child in their respec? tive counties between the ages of five and eighteen, but no commissioner is allowed a salary to exceed $1200 per annum. Very few receive more than two-thirds of this amount, and yet there is not a county in the State that has less than one hundred public schools. Every year the children, In each district of the State, are enumerated, and from this enume? ration the scholastic population of the State is accurately known.* lu more than half the counties of New Jersey the school commission? er has other duties to attend to, which yield him a large portion of-his income. This ls what la required here. Let our poorly paid clergy, nearly all of whom are competent teachers, assume these labors, in addition to their spiritual duties," and the State would be mach better served than it is at present,, when many o? these officers cannot; read fieir- own names. Under such circumstances, education is a farce. The people, have no respect for a system that bas such representatives, and we would like to see the Legislature tlx some standard of qualification for such officers. At least let them be able to read and write their own names. "These suggestions we consider worthy of attention by the Legislature, and as we have promised the people 'reform,' let us begin where lt can be plainly seen that we need re? form. We know how willing people are to see any salaries but their own cut down, and we also know that the people expect our law? makers to be Just to their constituents, before they are generous to friends. "We do not Join in the general cry against the Legislature, because it has not already passed all the bills that have come before lt, neither do we believe the members are actuated by selfish motives, because the public school teachers have not beeu provided for; but we do expect, now that the holidays are over, that business will be pushed forward as rapid? ly as possible, and that where reform ls need ed>there lt "will at once be Inaugurated. The time ls auspicious, the people ready, and only the will and determination seem to be want? ing." This is cheering, An out-and-out Radical newspaper talks out in meeting, urges the reduction of salaries and the c urtailment of expenditures,, and supports measures for in? creasing the efficiency of the public service ! South Carolina sense and honesty are pro? ducing their effect. The Union is wise and liberal for the moment, ard if it Would drop its raving about Ku-Kluxes, and all other raw-heads and bloody-bones, it might help in the great work of regenerating and improving the State. The German Empire. The Austrian people receive '-rith satisfac? tion the tidings ol the restoration of the German Empire; Francis Joseph finds it personally gratifying; Austria sincerely wishes tacultivate the friendship of Germa? ny. These are the formal declarations of the Austrian Chancellor, as reported by tele? graph. The Emperor Franci' Joseph is making the best of it, but the foundation of the re? stored Empire is a direct challenge to Aus? tria and the other German States now con? nected with the Hungarian Crown. An Em? peror of Austria will look still more strange than at present beside the Emperor in Ger? many, and the question will arise, what kind of geography it is which rules that Vienna and Salsbarg are not parts of Germany? Nay, the other Emperor may, perchance, have occasion to look out also. A German Emperor may make claims which no mere King of Pruasia ever could make on the Ger? man lands of Liefland and Esthland. As the Saturday Review puts it, a change of title is no mere trifle. The revived Ger? man Empire is the iudex of great changes which have already happened; it possibly points the way to changes of equal magni? tude to come. TUE correspondent of the London Times thinks that Paris will not resist much longer. But neither correspondents nor newspapers are infallible. A month or two ago, it seem? ed impossible that France could put an army in the field to replace the regulars cap? tured or killed, or cojjped up in Metz. Yet France has now an organized force of about 400,000 men, who, if they caunot "advance victoriously, can, at least, retreat without confusion. Paris may hold out until the spring, and when the capital falls, three fourths of France will still be unsubdued. The Gormans have before them an arduous task. They will accomplish it-at the cost of more men, more time, more money. Nevr Book*. THE POISON OP ASPS. A Novelette. By Flor? ence Marryatt. (Mrs. Boss Church.) New York: D. Appleton & Co. Price 30 cents. Mrs. Church writes smoothly and freely, and her latest novelette will detract nothing from her reputation, if it does not add to her literary fame. T/ie Poison of Asps is a mere sketch, whose main figures are an abused wife and a scape-grace husband. It is suffi? ciently interesting, and will'serve very well to wile away an idle hour. Mrs. Church, we may remark in passing, has no patience with- cliignons, and thinks paniers an abomination. For sale at Russell's, in King street.
