Thc foun? tain head of these reports appears to be the Rus? sian military attach?, who bas Just quitted Paris. -The silk manufacturers of Paterson, N.

The cotton, manufacture, nowever, is at a stand stilt and likely to remain so. -By the latest returns, the North Carolina Sen? ate consists ot fifteen Rep?blica* 3 and thirty-five Democrats, one more than enough to convict Gov? ernor Holden. There ls only one more than enough, because conviction requires a two-thirds vote, and certain Democrats wHl not vote. -The South African brilliants are scientifically pronounced to be not genuine. A London Jewel? ler has found them to bo lumps of translucent quartz, and thereby won the hatred of such as, making haste to be rich, were gathering bushels of them. -The New York Democrat discredits the theory that the employment or female telegraph opera? tors will tend to lessen the amount of profanity that finds tts way over the wires, and advances the opinion that when women can vent?late their feelings by wiggling; their fingers, they'll swear as much as men. -The London Post assen s that negotiations are stlRin progress to bring about an armlsilce, with a view to a congress and the termination of the war. These negotiations are approved or by the neutral powers, and their success will altogether depend upon the disposition ol the Prussian au? thorities at Versailles. -Mr. Challes H. Sweetzer, formerly editor and proprietor of the Round Table, and founder or thc New York Evening Mail, died in Florida, where he had recently taken np his residence, on Sunday last, aged twenty-nine years. He was a gentle man or fine culture, or superior social qualities, 'and withal a person or great resolution and energy. -The English Parliament meet on the 7 th or February. One of the first works of the session will bc the consideration of estimates to be sub? mitted, with a view to an extensive increase and Improvement In the army and navy. The discus? sion on the occasion is likely to include some bitter assaults upon the cheese-paring policy of the present government. -Our Western exchanges generally speak of trade as unusually staguaut, Just now, but are hopeful or ( risker times soon to come. At Cin? cinnati, Chicago, Louisville and other centres or business, money is scarce and dear. It is ad mlttcd, however, that If nobody is making money, but few are losing lt. Speculative ventures are In disfavor, and the old motto "slow, but sure," ls coming to be better thought of than ic used to be. -ALondon paper thus describes the process or road-making now general y adopted In the larger places or both England and ? rance: The road ls first prepared by being loosened with pickaxes, then covere-.i with ordinary granite, above this a dressing or sand ls laid, the whole ls then water? ed. An Immense roller, propelled by steam, ls then moved slowly over the prepared surface. It exerts a pressure or twenty-eight tons, and the result ls that, lu an unusually sbort time, a firm and compact macadamized road ls formed. -It ls reported thac at che Dover (Eugland) customhouse a seizure was recently made of a case of otic bundi cd and forty-four watches, di? rected to the United States, but which had been brought from som.? village on the continent, where tie JIame?cf the best English makers had heett?ngtavet' on the inside plates. The oases were made of good gold, bat the works were ut? terly worthless. It ls asserted that large numbers of inrertor watches bearing the name and trade marks of English makers have beeu manufactured on the continent of Europe and then shipped to the United States by way or Great Brltiiu, su as to deceive purchasers In America. -Governor Gear/, (Republican) In his ana na message to the Pennsylvania Legislature, thus disapproves of the etaployment of Federal troops to "assist" lu holding State or local elections: "The employ meat of United states troops at ele J Mons, without the oonsent.of the local and :' ate Go ve rn inonu, has recently received coriSHfei-able attention and reprehension. It la regarded ai an interference with the sovereign richte of the Statua Which was not contem,-lated by the found? ers of the general government, and, It persisted in, must' lead to results disastrous to peace and harmony. The practice Is ons So sexton 1 In its character, and se injurious tn tts remiende.--, as to merit prompt oonsideratlm-aud" decisive ac? tion, not only by the General Assembly, but by Congress." -The vexed problem or Chinese Immigration ls likely to solve Itself, without troubling philoso? phers or politicians. - The mines of california no longer holdout In d-icemen w for the immigration, and the completion or the Pacido Railroad has thrown thousand* of the Oleatial Laborers out or employmenc, so that the demand for these cheaper workmen from other party or the country can be readily, And, as far as California ls concerned,, .thankfully supplied wi tn out-fun h er importations. The arrivals are now comparatively few and Tar between, and new immigrants are so scattered over the country and so quietly occupied that their presence ls not generally felt. The last steamer from China at San Francisco brought only about-sixty tnnnigrants; and the number now resident in California ls- less than 37,000. or 33 per cent, less than it was a year ago. Unem? ployed immigrants have, many .or them,rcturu?d to their native country; and Chinese companies and agents, hitherto employed in promoting im? migration, have advised th.'ir countrymen to stay at home. -The t'dinbursh University ha? declared it?eir upon the matter or instructing women in medi? cine. At the Easter competitive examination a young wom.in won the scholarship, but the faculty refused to grant it on the ground that, al? though women arc entitled to tuition, the univer? sity prizes belong to men exclusively. The pro? fessor of chemistry, Mr. Cram Brown, was dis? gusted at this action, and made au application to the corporation to put young women en the same footing as youc^r men. The professors of surgery and anatomy appealed to the members of the corporation not to do it, asserting that they ci'uld not perfoiin their duiies decently when women were In the lecture-rooai. Tho professor of surge? ry declared that he would rather resign than lecture to a mixed class. He read a memorial from one hundred and sixty-one male students, protesting against the admission of females to the classes. But the professor of phislology re? plied that he round no difficulties as suggested; he could lecture to a mixed class as easily as to one composed of male students exclusively; women made the most expert dissectors, and in his judgment they are by nature better fitted for sur? geons than men. The women were In a fair way to carry the day, when Dr. Christison, physician In ordinary to the Queen, came to the rescue and informed thc corporation and professors that th s "highest lady tu the realm" had lmtruct?d him to represent to them that she greatly disapproved of women studying medicine. Professor Kurtis's re? quest was voted down by a majority of one. Thc Finance* of the State. Thc report of the Comptroller-General of the State for the year ending November 1, 1870, is printed at last, and we regret to say that its financial statements will be found as deceptive and disingenuous as the statements for 1S69, which were fully ana? lyzed and exposed during the Reform cam? paign. "We do not charge the Comptroller General with the deliberate purpose to mis? lead taxpayers at home and capitalists abroad. The official reports, properly handled, snow their own discrepancies, and do afford the mean3 of determining, approx? imately at least, the financial condition of the State. What we complain of is, that the Comptroller-General, by ingenious arithmet? ical conjuring, produces a false impression upon the popular mind, and shows only a moderate increase of debt, where the broad facts point to an addition of millions. We have no intere?t io. depreciating the credit of the State. On the contrary, it is our desire to fulfil the public obligations and pay every farthing which is honestly due. But it i3 necessary that the truth should be known ; and if the State officials remain tongue-tied, becauso they are unwilling to make mortify, ing disclosures, their evasion of a plain duty will not relieve them from either responsi? bility or blame. The Comptroller-General, in his printed report, (page 21) says that the funded debt on the 31st October, 1870, amounted to S7,665,90S 98, which figures agree with those given by Governor Scott in his annual message to the Legislature. We say, how? ever, and are prepared to prove, that, ac? cording to the official report of the Comp? troller General himself, the funded debt of the State is understated by at least two mil? lion dollars. That is lo say, the Comp? troller-General does not include, in his '?statement of the public debt, November 1, "1870," (page 71,) either the $1,000,000 of 7 per cont, bonds issued (page 31) for the relief of the treasury, or the whole amount of the 3800,000 of 6 per cent, bonds issued (page 31) for the payment of interest ou the public debt Nor clo we find, in the debt statement, any record of the $700,000 of 6 per cent, bonds issued (page 35) for the land commission. These sums-deducting $300, 000 o? the $800,000 of interest bonds, which amount is reported-make np $2,200,080 which must be added to the statement of the public debt as given by the Comptroller General. It may be said, as was said during the Reform canvass, that these bonds are "signed up" and issued, but are held as collaterals, and do not form a part of the legitimate State debt. We reply that the meagre reports of Mr. Bamp? ton, the Financial Agent, show that he has now in his possession only $1,500,000 of State bonds, against $2,700,000 held by him on the same day in I860. This is not all. Tho accounts show that the State owes Mr. Kimpton the sum of $880,843 95, representing ' monies advanced by him. That large sum did not come oat of Mr. Kimpton's pocket, and we have the right to assume that $1,600,000 of State bonds were hypothe? cated, and so remain, as security for the loans negotiated by Mr. Kimpton for the State. Sixty cents on the dollar is quite as much as a New York banker would lend upon South Carolina bonds, and, to that ex? tent, these bonds are as much a liability as if they had been sold outright. Indeed, Mr. Kimpton must have to carry a heavy weight, U3 he charges the enormous.sum of $94,977 42 for "exjienses, express charges, stamps, in "(crest," Ac. Of the Land Commission bonds, ($700,000,) we s<;e qo trace. They, also, may be hypothecated, or worse. Wo think that we have now fairly shown that the Slate debt is, at least $9,865,908. Adding to this the guarantee by the State of S4,000,000 of bonus o? the Blue Ridge Rail? road, we have a total liability (exclusive of other guarantees) of no less than $13,865, 908, which is about the amount at which T.he State debt was put down by this paper dur? ing the Reform canvass. It is only neces? sary to add that in 1869 the total funded debt, as stated by the Cornptroller-Geueral, was $6,183,349 17, and that in 1868 the funded debt was ouly $5,407,306 27. In two years the Radical party have added $8,000, 000 of whick toe have knowledge, to the lia? bilities of the State. THE Walhalla Courier cails attention to the fact that, with :he present valuation of property in the county, and the rate per cent, likely to be levied, the County of Oconee will have to pay taxes to the amount of $25,000, or upwards. In the "bad days of aristocratic rule" the tax of PickenB Dis? trict never reached the sum of $10,000. Oconee Couuty is but one-half of what was Pickeus District, so that the present eco nominal administration only levies live times as much tax for all our Radical blessings and liberties. ?r 1 Land Temar? la ireland. A case recently adjudicated ia the Boyal Court at Dublin, illustrates very forcibly fhe beneficent character of the new Irish Land act. The Marquis of Waterford owns exten? sive estates- ln~Sorjdcroderry. They were | granted to a Beresford two hundred yearsago when they wereonly of-a nominal value, and-| have descended to the present owner with? out any material improvements having been made by the successive proprietors in the two centuries. The land is cultivated by yearly ei.ants, who have, nevertheless, en? joyed the privilege of the Ulster custom, which permits a retiring tenant to sell to the incoming tenant and require from him com? pensation for the improvements made by himself and preceding tenants. This is vir? tually a prohibition for the landlord against any undue increase of rent, and security for the tenant that ho will not be turned out without compensation, while it enables him practically to name his successor. Under this custom the lands of the Marquis of Waterford have descended from father to son for generations, and the tenantry has been almost as constant as if the holders were the legal owners of their section of the estate. But the Marquis now offers the es? tate for sal?, a plan which he bas long in? tended to carry out. There are nearly three hundred holders and families upon it, and of course every one of them is affected by the sale. Under the old system the estate would probably have brought near its ac? tual value; as indicated by the possible rents that might be required from it as improved by the tenants. The purchaser might, if he chose, disregard altogether the Ulster cus? tom, which was not recognized by the law, and put the rents at such a rate that neither the present nor any future lenaHt? could ob? tain more than the barest living from ?.je land which they cultivated. It is precisely here that the Irish land act stepped in to secure the tenants their moral rights. The Marquis advertised the estate for sale. The tenants secured counsel and applied to the court to require the proprie? tor to state in his advertisement that they were entitled to the privileges legally recog? nized in the land act of last year as the Ulster tenant right. The application was combated by the counsel for the Marquis of Waterford as involving a loss to himself. It would be, it waa argued, a notification to intending purchasers that the property was not worth so much as it appeared to be. The tenants contended that without such a notice tho purchaser would pay such a price that he could only obtain a fair return by raising the rents. The judge denied the ap? plication, and although the details of his opinion have not reached us, we conclude that the decision rested on the ground that the land oct itself protected the tenants, whatever might be the terms offered by the seller and accepted by thc buyer, and that i would be a dangerous precedent for tenants to admit that the absence of a notice on the advertisements of the existence of reserved rights was fatal to their power of enforcing those rights. The defeat of the tenants was in this way their victory. The judge said that he might make public the fact that the tenants had reserved rights; but such a course could not be necessary, and the rights are more secure and in better hands than they would bo if the decision had been reversed. .financial. -poa SALE, $10,000 STATE SOOTH CAROLINA REGISTERED STOCK (Old) 100 Shares Charleston Mining and Manufac? turing Company Slock 100 Shares Union liauk Slock CO Shares Peoples' Hank Stock - Shares Planters' and Med?anles' Bank Stock $1,000 Montgomery and West Point Railroad Bond $1,000 Gold Coin.
