NBWS OF THE DAY. -In New York, yesterday, cotton closed dull and heavy at i&%c. -Gold closed at io;,'aii. -London papers mention it as a specially com? mendable piece of good manners that most or the members of the new school board Bit uncovered ?nile the board ls in session, oat of deference to the lady members. -A new brake has been adopted on one of the English railroads, tn cons?quence of the recent frequency of accidents, which ls able to stop a train going at the rate of thirty miles aa hour in twenty-five sccondB. . -The North German consul-general at New York reports the total amount of patriotic sub? scriptions received np to the end of last week at I $306,022 33; total amount of remittances made to tnt Central Sanitary Com mission at Berlin, $200, DOO In gold, (370,000 Prussiaa thalers.) -A gentleman in his eagerness at the table to J answer a call for some apple-pie, owing to the I Jmife slipping on the bottom of the dish, found I lils knuckles burled in the crust, when a wag who sat opposite him very gravely observed, whilst lie J held his plate: "Sir, I'll trouble you for a bit while I your hand is in." -Mr. Corcoran, of Washington, has deeded ic a board or ti us tees and governors, a plot or ground, with the necessary buildings, for the? establish ment of an institution to maintain such "des?? tate bat refined and educated gentlemen as may be admitted to its benefits.1' Thc Institution ls lo be maintained by the donor's endowments. -A sclent ide lecturer on walking says his ex? periments show that one side of the body always j tends CO outwalk the other side. It ls not possible when the eyes are shut to walk (n a straight line for any length or time, and it will be found, where persons lose their way, that they almost lnvaria oly wander on* to the right rather than to the left. -A fiend In haman shape was engaged In I planking a certain sidewalk in a certain Western etty, when a woman In gorgeous apparel stopped near the scene of his labors to chat with a friend. Her train hungover the edge or the last plank he had pnt in position, and he quietly slid another ?ne alongside of it. and securely spiked it down. The fiend then went away to dinner. -The public lands, though the heritage or all, Have been given to speculators to the amount or 160,000,000 acres in the last few years. It ls time the J ?Id States, which contributed so largely both to origma! and later purchases, shared more fully In the benefits of the common possession, either by I direct benefits, or what is better, reduced Fede? ral taxation. -A curious swindling project is reported from j .r?nfltralla. A deposit of gold and quarcz recently supposed to have been discovered in Victoria, I . ?Amuralla, created much excitement. A company I was formed, and the shares were rapidly taken I and paid for. Further Investigation, however, showed that the mine had been veneered with gold leaf, laid on with size and varnish. The projectors of the company have been arrested. -Ten years ago, after the war brok* out, the I Democrats had not a singlo Governor in the United States. Now they havo thirteen, as fol- j lows: Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Dela? ware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia. Alaba ma. Tennessee, Kentucky, California, Orej?n and Nevada. To these the Cincinnati Enquirer says the Democrats expect to add, in 1871, Ohio, Penn? sylvania and Wisconsin, and in 1672 India ia, HU nols and the remainder of the Southern States. -A fire-escape, presenting some novel features, j lu been tried In New York at the St Nicholas Hotel. The fire-escape consists or a canvas tube twenty Inches in diameter, which can be fixed to any window by grapnels or the simplest descrip? tions, which preclude the possibility of slipping .risen once attached. At Intervals of ten inches along the tube are springs formed of No. 18 wire wonud spirally round a thicker wire, . which effectually moderate the descent of the person de? scending, so that by merely pressing outward the elbows or knees, he can stop at any point and reach the* rou nd as slowly as he wishes. The ap? paratus, which, when folded up, takes up only a space of two feet each way, was fixed to a win? dow flfiy-nlne feet from the ground, and some thirty men and boys descended with safety and ease. The apparatus eau be attached to a win? dow in thirty seconds. The bpejimen on exhib? tlon, which was sixty feet long, weighed forty- I sive poa oils. -A New York letter sajs: "The number or men I out or employment U Immense, and hun arrisare added to it weekly. At fri e door of Cooper li s ti I tate reading-room, the other day, several men, evidently of the working class, stood talking. Said one, 'I have not earneu a dollar In three months.' Another said, 'lt ls Jnst as bad with me; can't get work anywhere.' A third could not stay at home it was so cold, BO he came to the I reading-room every day to keep warm. This was the drift or the conversation. Within the read- j lng-room there were probably three hundred men, from twenty-five to sixty, all oat of work, and trying to kill time. And they looked like men j willing enough to work, if they could find work to do. Only those who go among the poor ht.ve j1 any real knowledge of the distress among the j i working-classes. It may not be grater than in | , previous winters, bat certainly it ls not lesa. Tho aid societies are ran down with applicants for assistance. All the relief provided is bitterly - aeeded." -The Pittsburg Commercial says: "Thone Ger- j maa Americans who believe that the German lan- ( ?sage ls destined to nourish forever as a popular speech in this country are able to make a consld- ( arable show of argument lu ra vor of their belief. 1 Sar instance, one of these sanguinely hopeful t Tentons has lately pnt one reason for hts faith in the form ora question, which strikes the reader with some force. With comparatively few Ger? man schools, and he might have saki for a long time with few or no German newspapers, the lan? guage has maintained itself la Pensylvanla Tor two hundred years as a living speech, so that even now descendants of the flrst settlers of the third, fourth, firth, sixth, and even of the seventh generation speak German, belong to German churches and read German books and newspa? pers. How many hundred years, then, may the language be expected to be kept alive In the Western States, where there aro German schools many and good, while others are constantly be? ing rounded, and where the educated German ele? ment, ecdealasti al and secular, exons an ever Increasing Influence?" -The custom in China which allows a criminal under sentence or death to buy a substitute, threatens to bc raised fruin the raak of a national eccentricity to the Importance or an international complication. It turn3 out that many or the per? sons executed for the Tien-Tsln massacre were not the guilty men at all. The mandarins arrest? ed a few cl tho meaner criminals, careful!? allow? ed all the rest to escape, and filled up the Hst or victims with substitutes who were quite reidy to suffer decapitation in consideration ot 500 taels a piece. Perhaps a more correct way or putting lt would be to say that I hese useftil gentlemen were hired of their respective ramilles, at so much for the day, and returned arter their heads bad been cot off to be decently burled. They hid the satis raction or knowing thai they could provide much more liberally Tor their wives and children in this way than any other, and by their vicarious atone? ment save the government a great deal of dread rut bother, or course the Western nations will not submit to be cheated or their demands by any such fictitious satisfaction as this. They are not to be robbed off with counterfeit corpses. We are afraid the mandarins must try again. , The Financial Agency of the State. The bald statements of Mr. H. H. Kimpton, the Financial Agent of the State, are an inter? esting study, although they treat millions with scant ceremony, and sum up the operations of a year in the formal remark that so many bonds are iu thc hands of the agent, and so much money is due to the agent by the State. As a means of enlightening the public in re? gard to the operations of the Financial Agency, the statements of Mr. Kimpton are worthless. The accounts of a retail grocer or peauut seller are more elaborate than those submitted by Mr. Kimpton to the peo? ple of South Carolina. Yet they show that enormous sams have been entrusted-to the discretion of Mr. Kimpton, and point to the existence of a horrid skeleton in the finan? cial closet of the State. The Comptroller-General, in bis report for j 1869, said that $2,700,000 in bonds or the State were in the possession of the Financial Agent on October 1, 1869-less $300,000 sold before that time, but not included in the report Mr. Kimpton, then, began the fiscal year 1870 with a balance of $2,400,000 in bonds of the State, made up as follows : RECEIVED BT MB. KIMPTON". 1868. Oct. To Bills Receivable bonds_$ 500,000 Oct. To Interest bonds. 1,000,000 1869. June. To Relief bonds. 1,000 000 Sept. To Land Commission bonds.. 200,000 Total receipts.$2,700,000 SOLD BT MR.JKI.MPTON: 1869. Sept. By Bills Receivable bonds... f? 300,000 BALANCE ON It AND. 1869. Oct. L Bills Receivable bonds.$ 200,000 Interest bonds. 1,000,000 Relief bonds. 1,000,000 Land Commission bonds. 200,000 Total.$2,400,000 Up to this point the statements of the Comptroller-General and Mr. Kimpton fully agree. The accounts for the year 1S70, however, tell a different tale. During that year, Mr. Kimpton, according to his pub? lished reports, received nd additional bonds, and his only sale Was in October, 1869, when $700,000 of the so-called Relief bonds were sold at 70 cents ou the dollar. Mr. Kimp? ton, must, therefore, have had in his posses? sion on October 1, 1870, bonds amounting to $1,700,000, made up as follows: BONDS ON HAND. 1870. Oct. 1. Bills Receivable bonds.$ 200.000 Land Commission bonds. 200,000 Interest and Rebel bonds. 1,300,000 Total.%.$1,700,000 This same amount was in hand after the sale of $700,000 bond3 in October, 1869. Yet at that dale Mr. Kimpton reports that ho had only the following bonds in hand : Interest bonds.$ 500?0()0 Relief bonds. 1,000,000 Total.$1,500,000 The $200,000 of land commission bonds have utterly disappeared ! Where are they, and where are the $500,000 of additional Land Commission bonds issued under the act of 1370 ? We Qnd, then, that $200,000 in bonds, which Mr. Kimpton reported in his state? ments of account for 1869, do not appear al all in the accounts for 1870. The State au? thorities may have withdrawn these bonds, and the additional $500,000 of Lind Commis? sion bonds may not have gone into the keep? ing of the financial agent. Mr. Kimpton, if he will, can tell. It is very clear that there are outstanding in New York or elsewhere $700,000 of Land Commission bonds, and $1,500,000 of other State bonds, upon which Mr. Kimpton has a claim of $880,443 for monies advanced by him to the State. What other claims there may be, Mr. Kimpton's accounts do not show. Now, it is evident that the State must redeem these bonds by paying the amouuts borrowed upon their security, or must allow the bonds to be sold to pay the advances. The State will have to pay the money or sell the, bonds. The bonds may be retained and cancelled, if the money be paid; but until that money is paid, the bonds are a legitimate part of the debt of the State. Yet, as we have already shown, the Comptroller-General, in his official state? ment of the funded debt of the State on October 1, 1870, does not include the follow? ing amounts, which are deposited as col? laterals, or have been sold outright : Interest bonds.$ 500,000 Relief bonds. 1,000,000 Land commission 1869. 200,000 Land commission 1870. 500,000 Total.$2,200,000 We therefore assert that the funded debt of the State is at least $2,200,000 more than the amount ($7,665,908 98) reported by the Comptroller-General. One more point and we leave Mr. Kimpton. lo the year 1869 the expenses of his agency ?vere $64,996 71. For the year 1870 they imount to $94,977 42. And the whole tax 'eceipts of the State for the year 1870 were raly about $800,000. This may be economy n financiering, but, at present, we are unable o see it in that light. THE bill to amend the General Elections law, introduced in the Senate by Mr. Corbin, will have the approval of the people, although it may not suit the extremists in the House. It provides that one at least of the County Commissioners of Eleclion shall be Trorn each political party; that the ballot boxes shall be publicly inspected and made secure before the polls are opened; that the counting of the ballots shall begin as soon as the polls close, and continue, without in? terruption, until the count be completed ; that the statement of the result shall be made by the managers within three days; that the commissioners shall make up and transmit the returns of the managers within three days; that the State canvassers shall publicly determine and declare who are elected. Such a law, honestly executed, would, it seems to us, prevent fraud and in? sure a fair election. The appointment of managers and commissioners in the sole in? terest of one party, the stuffing of ballot boxes, and any cooking up of the returns, would be practically impossible. Mr. Cor? bin is doing good work for the State. THE way tb lay the axe to the root of the tree is to abolish the office of Land Commis? sioner, and stop all appropriations. In this way we may hope to touch bottom aud get at the truth. The Land Commission has made somebody rich; but it has done nothing for the homeless and landless people of the State. It is a sham and a delusion, and deserves to be wiped out of existence Perhaps some independent member of the General Assembly will take an early oppor? tunity of finding out what has become of the $700,000 in bonds of the State, issued for the Land Commission. This would be a good beginning in the way of ferreting out the facts and makin? a Ires ii start ! THE Lauren8ville Herald does not propose to go into an argument on the proposed re? enactment of the usury laws, but simply says that any such legislation is after the manner of the dark ages, and contrary to the spirit of the times. It says that it i? absurd to ex? pect lenders of money to come to the terms fixed by State laws, and that circumscribing capital by State enactmout will drive capital away. Well and tersely put ! THE TJnionville Times desires that par? ticular notice.be taken of the fact that while June Mobley, one of the negro members, and Walker, a captain of militia, are absent from Union County, the colored people are quiet and peaceable, but as soon as they re? turn, all the negroes ia the county become riotous and insolent. Our contemporary lays upon Walker and Mobley the whole blame of the holiday troubles in Union. New Booka. OTHER WORLDS THAN OOHS. THE PLURAL? ITY OF WORLDS STUDIED UNDER THE LIGHT OP RECENT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES. By h ?chard A. Proctor, B. A., F. R. A. S. New York : D. Appleton & Co. 1871. The plurality of worlds is a subject ever new and ever old; one which men in all ages have delighted to discuss, while it is associated in the most intimate manner with the progress of modern science. New discoveries heighten the interest which otherwise might fail, and, as Professor Proctor remarks io his preface, arguments which were hypothetical thirty years ago have become certainties or been-ttlsproved, doubtful points have been cleared up, and, lastly, a new mode of research has been de? vised, which has not only revealed a uumber ef surprising facts, but promises to work yet greater marvels In tho years which are to come. Tho object or the present work is not solely to establish the thesis that there are ocher worlds than ours, but to present, in a new and an interesting light, thc wondrous discoveries which have rewarded recent scientific researches. We shall not attempt to give as much as a sketch of its contents. It is sufficient to say that it joins to the precision of statement and rea? soning required in a scientific work, an inge? nuity of theory, a copiousness of illustration, and a reverent spirit, which make it as at? tractive to the general reader as to the more laborious student. The chromo illustrations lend a* novel charm to the work, which we commend with confidence to all who recog? nize the significance of the innumerable va? rieties of cosmical structure disclosed by modern researches, and who are inclined, for amusement or a more serious purpose, to examine into the resemblance which may exist between our world and the myriad spheres surrounding it on every hand.
