Many prominent citi? zens and ofici?is are giving much time and en? couragement to make thc fair successful; among others, the active co-operation of the Marquise de Chambrun, granddaughter of Lafayette, is appa? rent. A pleasant incident In connection with the fair is the magnanimous act of Madame Gerolt, toe wife of the Prussian minister, who, as custo? dian of many articles of value which were undis? posed of ai. the recently-held Prnsslan fair, has signified her willingness to transfer such property for the benefit of the funds of the French fair." -The national association formed ta Pennsyl? vania, appt.rently with co-operation from other States, for thc parp?se of securing such an amend - ment to the constitution as will recognize the ex? istence of God and the obligations of Christianity, has called a national convention to meet in Phil? adelphia on Wednesday, the 18th of the present month. The general object of the conveitlon ap? pears in the purposes of .the association; its Im? mediate purpose is to organize the sentiment of | the country favorable to a religious amendment, and to secu'e for it the respectful and earnest consideration of Congress. The call I?, signed by Judge William Strong, or the United States Su preme Coan, who is the president of the associa? tion, and by a large number of distinguished gen? tlemen who concur ta the call. ^-J. W. Smith, the colored cadet at West Point, ia not being tried by court-martial for delin? quency at drill, as has been stated by some news? papers. He was only one of forty-five eadets re? ported for sich dellnqiency, including President Grant's son, reported for laughing In the rants. The charge on which Cadet Smith ls being tried, IS "conduct unbecoming a cadet and gentleman" In this, that having been reported for inattention In the ranks, Ac, he "submitted a written expla? nation to the commandant of cadets, which con tained false statements intended to deceive thc command?t.talso, that he stated "with refer? ence to the previous report and bis explanations, that anothe r cadet had told him to 'keep his d-d toes oat of the way,' which statement was false;" also, that he told another untruth, which is speci? fied in the chargea -The New York Telegrapher says the Pacific and Atlantic; the Franklin and the Bankers' aud Brokers' Telegraph Companies have ente ed into an arrangement which, although it does not ac fually consolidate them into one company, is a I complete consolidation of all their bnsinesj inter- J eats.

The receipts will be put into one lund, and, after paying the working and linc ex? penses, the surplus will be divided between the several companies, upon a basis which has been agreed upoc. The duplicate offices in New 1 ork, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and else? where are to be closed, and only suc'i branch offices maintained as may be required for the proper transaction of the business. The present employ?es of these lines wm be provided for In toe consolidated offices as far as it ls possible to dolt. -Mr. Corcoran's novel charity In Washington is an asylum for decayed gentlewomen, and not gentlemen, ns reported by telegraph. Ir. is to be known by the title of "The Louise Home." The fourth article of the deed of trust provides that thetrastcreated ls limited to the founding and perpetual keeping up and supporting of an insti? tution, to be ased exclusively for the comfortable maintenance and support (not including the fur? nishing or wearing apparel) of as many such des? titute, bat refined and educated gentlewomen as toe building, improvements, resources and cir? cumstances of the trust may, from time to time, suitably accommodate, which the directresses, with the concurrence of Hr. Corcoran, daring his lifetime, shall determine; and with like concur? rence, the directresses shall designate, from time to time, the persons who shall have admission to the establishment as Inmates, who may, in like manner, Tor sufficient causo, in their judgment, expel any Inmate or Inmates. -Since the edict of the London commercial houses compelling each employee to surrender his mou-tache un ?cr pain of dismissal, nothing so heartless has occurred until the recent decision of one of the prominent b^nks that none of its "junior clerk-." shall be allowed to marry until In receipt of a salary of at least ?150. This, coming just before Christmas, has caused a wail of re monstratiug anguish from any number of "junior clerks," wno rush imo print, under the inspira? tion of the tearful eyes of their sweethearts, with thc protestation that they are quite equal to the commencement or matrimony on ?100 a year, nnd that the prohibition is directly In the Interest of immorality. The most interesting feature or the case is the final settlement, by a board or financial experts, of the much-vexed question of the amount of Income necessary to support, a family in Loudon. Setting aside all sentimentali? ty, this ts decided, on purely practical groands, to be"?150. The banker's clerks who brave for? tune on less than that will find that the figures c-try their own proof. Inasmuch as the directors have decided that they ssall "be considered to have resigned their appointments, which 3hall cease accordingly." Threatened Impeachment of Governor Scott. The excitement among the Columbia Rad? icals, in regard to the disturbed condition of affairs in the up-country, is increasing in intensity. The ultra Radicals bitterly de? nounce Governor Scott and threaten his im? peachment; the head and front of his o ile o cl? ing being that he has not declared martial law in Union and Spartanburg Counties, and har not dispatched a brigade of negro mili? tia' to the front, to gag and overawe the whites. Governor Scott appears to hold the opinion, that United States troops, if any, should be sent, and in this view be is Sus? tained, we are sure, by the few Conserva? tives in the General Assembly, as well as ?jy all thoughtful citizens. In the meanwhile, the people of Union county have already, in public meeting, declared their pur? pose to maintain the peace and to hold all offenders to a strict accountability. Similar action has been taken in Spartan bu -g County; and it is evident that public senti? ment is actively opposed to, and is deter? mined to prevent, any recurrence of the acts of violence which have furnished the fair fame of the people. The effect of send? ing negro militia to Union and Spartanburg Counties will be to add fuel to the llamo, ns well as to paralyze the efforts of the true friends of tranquillity and good order. Gov? ernor Scott, according to our information, is taking a wise and prudent course. We trust that he may stand firm. Our Financial Slough. The report of the City Appraiser, Mr. P. J. Coogan, submitted at the last meeting of the City Council, bas again directed public attention to the magnitude of the city debt, and to the necessity of adopting a just and practicable plan by which the interest may be regularly paid and the principal gradual? ly extioguished. The assessed value of all the real estate in the City of Charleston, (omitting the real es? tate, valued at S3,625,620, exempt from tax? ation,) is set down by Mr. Coogan at $22, 935,540. The value of the personal property . is stated tobe S9,195,928. The total value of the taxable real and personal property is, therefore, S32,131,477. The present income of the city consists of a two per cent, tax upon thereat and personal property, which should produce 6642,629 54; the license tax, esti? mated to produce $126,304 75; and the tax on city stock, $51,372 08, making a total revenue of S820.306 29. The debt of the city amounts to $5,137, 208, against which may be set the market value of the different securities held by the city, put down, in May last, at $246,997 26 The iuterest on the debt during the year 1870 amounted to $320,000, and the general expenses amounted to $4-49,000, making .i total expenditure of $769,000. It is evident , then, that the present rate of taxation is amply sufficient for the payment of interest und current expenses. The most trouble? some element In the Uuancial problem re? mains behind. Under the plan of rearrange? ment of the city debt, adopted in 1857, tba debt falls due iu annual instalments. Ac? cording to Mr. Coogan'S elaborate table, an amount of $335,154 falls due hythe end cf the present year. The following year is charged with $72,030; 1873 with $101.476 ; 1874 with $100,860; 1875 with $209,249; aud amounts of stock ranging from $08,436 to $437,480, become payable each year, (ex? cepting 1894 aud 1895, ) from 1875 to 1898, when the last instalment is to be paid. The holders of certain over-due stock instituted legal proceedings last year against the city to compel its payment, and succeeded in bringing to the hammer some of the city pro? perty. A similar course will most likely be taken by other holders when their stock falls due. It is necessary, therefore, to provide for the payment of the several instalments cf the principal of the debt, as well as for the interest and the current expenses of the mu? nicipal government. But the city cannot, in its present depressed condition, bear such a rate of taxation us would produce, during each year, a sum sufficient to meet all these claims. It can pay interest and current ex? penses, but it can do no more. What, then, mast be done? Various plans for renewing or extending the city debt, so aa to give us breathing time, have been proposed, and those are glauced at by Mr. Ceogan, who concludes his remarks upon this brauch of the subject with the assertion that a plan exists by which the debt can be paid off, in full, in I twenty-live years, with a saving to the city, in that time, of $4,566,152 70. A more hopeful and encouraging statement was never laid before an over-taxed people. Mr. Coogan, if he can make good his his promise, mt>v write himself down a public benefactor, aud will deserve a mon? ument more durable than brass. The plan, as we understand it, is this : The present market price of city stock, $2,927,875, would buy up the whole city debt; or, de? ducting such amount of stock as might be purchased with the proceeds of a sale of the city assets, a sum o? $2,50S,580 would be enough. Mr. Coogan, therefore, proposes to issue city bonds, bearing 5 per cent, in? terest, to the amount of $2,508,580, the bonds falling duo in amounts ranging from $52,000 to $169,000, distributed over a period of tweuty-iive years. With tho $2,508,580 so obtained, the whole of the city debt will be liquidated at the present market price of about 50 cents on the dollar. Presto ! the work is accomplished. This, If we un? derstand him aright, is a concise statement of the novel plan which Mr. Coogan urges upon the public. Captious criticism is not to our taste, and we recognize the fact that upon the nianage mcut of the city debt depends, in no incon? siderable degree, the rise or the decline of Charleston. We are constrained to say, nevertheless, that it would be difficult to contrive a plan of redemption or extension Ie3S practicable or more open to objection than that which Mr. Coogan describes. In the first place, the City of Charleston cannot negotiate a ?5 per cent, loan at par. This is more than the United State3 can do at this time. It may fairly be said that a 5 per cent. Charleston bond could not, under highly favorable conditions, sell for more than 60 or 70 cents on the dollar. To obtain 52,500,000 in currency it would be necessary to issue bonds for about $4,000,000, which would, at once, upset the economical calcu? lations based upon the expectation that 5 per cent City of Charleston bonds would bring far more than 7 per cent. State bonds or 8 per cent, railroad: securities. There a more fatal flaw in the scheme. The city cannot, of course, compel the holders of city stock to take 50 or 60 cents on the dollar for their claims. These contend that all the real property in the city is liable for the debt, and that the city can be made to pay as the debt falls duo. Wh}', then, should a holder of city stock sacrifice half his property in order that the city debt may be reduced to one half its present volume ? The interest on the stock can be used in payment of tuxes. Over-due Btock, is, we believe, taken by the city at 70 cents on the dollar. Charleston must pay one of these days, or be sold out. The stockholder prefers to wait. He might be willing to exchange his stock for a long city bond, bearing the same rate of interest; but he will not give np $100 for $50 merely because by so doing he would confer a benefit upon the city. Charleston, then, could only redeem ita undue stock by bnying it in open market; and any attempt of this kind would, in a few days, put the stock beyond reach. The purchase of | $250,000 of stock would run the price up to 75 or 80; and to dream of baying up $5,000,000 at 50 cents, or thereabouts, is an absurdity. The Coogan plan, in truth, hardly admits of minute discussion. It does not advance the city one tittle towards the so? lution of the kuolty question, which before long must receive a rational and honest solution._' _ Radicalism and the Workingman. Mr. Mungen, one of the Democratic Con? gressmen from Ohio, in the course of a speech upon the "Heathen Chinee," showed, in a few words, the leaning of the Radicals towards the capitalist at the expense of the workingman. He said : "Look at the following as a slight example in regard to the tariff alone. Behold the com? parison between the tariff on twelve articles used almost exclusively by the rich, and the same number used mainly by the poor. The rich man's tariff: Gold and silver chains, 25 per cent.; diamonds, 25; mahogany wood, lree; Jewelry, 25; laces, 35; pearls, free; rubles, 10; gold rings, 25; corals, free; cameos, 10; oil polntlugs, 10; marble statuary, 10 per cent. The poor man's tariff: Salt, loo per cent.; cut? lery, 50; shoes, 35; iron nails, 50; coal, 30; spades and shovels; 45; blankets, 50 to 75; sole leather, 45; glassware, 40; clothing CO to C5; flannels, 50 to S5; Iron fabrics, 55 to C5 per cent. Here are the rates of tariff imposed by Congress on " twenty-four leading articles, twelve of each class. If the rich have not tne best of the tariff, then figures Ile. Here ls au average rate on twelve articles for the rich of | fourteen and three-quarters per cent., aud on a like number for the poor sixty-one and over seven-tenths. But lt is not in the tariff alone; lt is in all kinds of legislation. The Republican party is responsible for this difference; nnditls also responsible for the importation of Chinese laborers; for that parly has the power in this Congress and in the present administration to prohibit it."
