' -The newspapers of the various German principalities are discussing the distribution of the spoils of the war that have been ravished from France. Some of the Liberal papers aver that Prussia means to shut up the money .-demanded from France in her own treasury vaults.

It is not Just that the officers, non-commis? sioned officers and men, who behaved so well in the different combats that took place, should be deprived of thc promotions and rewards to which tbey are entitled. Since I became a prisoner. I have received several applications on this head. I have felt a real regret not to .beanie to do justice to them, for the army of Sedan fought well, and is the only one which has received no recompense. I think lt is your duty to prepare a memorial of applica? tions for the soldiers who were under your orders, and to submit them to the Minister ot .War on jour arrival in France." -A New York letter, of Monday, says: "A meeting was held at the Cotton Exchange this morning, at the call of certain of the 'bear operators who are dissatisfied with the man? ner in which the official market quotations are dally made by the committee entrusted with that duty. The rule of the Exchange ls that in the settlement of contracts the price ruling on the day of maturity shall be tbe basis of settlement. The alteration proposed ls to make the price curvent on the day of ratifica? tion of delivery, generally five days before the maturing of the contract, the basis of settle? ment. The meeting was a very lively one, and the discussion was participated in by many leading members of the trade. The Conservative party having a decided prepon? derance over the Reformers, the motion to recommend au alteration of the rule was lost, as were also motions to include all grades of cotton, instead of from good ordinary to good middling, in future contracts, and to abolish the contract system altogether." -Reports from the Darieu expedition say that good progress is making in the hydro graphic surveys, and the final chart of the Gull wll> be a valuable contribution to the bureau of navigation. Chief Engineer Barnes i s still In the interior, pushing on as rapidly as possible over the Paraachito route toward the "divide." On February 17, Commander Sel? fridge made a three days' trip up the Tuyra River to Plnogana. This river is over a mile, wide, and the tide has a rise and fall of from fifteen to twenty feet. He found that it did not narrow down uutil h? passed Alligator Island, eighteen miles from the ship, thence upward Its course ls so wiadiug that, while ' the distance from Chepigana to Pinogana, travelling by boat, ls about forty-five miles, astronomical observations show that a straight line connecting the two points would be only .about twenty-two miles long, at night the primeval forests are filled with chattering monkeys; by day tbe only signs of Hie are huge alligators and herons. Not a hill of any .description is met with, notwithstanding the fact that the present map of the country re? present it as traversed by range after range ?JO? high mountains. Tho country is apparent? ly perfectly level, but it undoubtedly has a alight elevation toward the interior. -The hanging of Arthur Perkins Hefferner by a vigilance committee in Virginia City. Nevada, ou the 25ih ult., is fully described by the Territorial Enterprise, of that city. For the past year, a gang ot incendiaries and cut throats have destroyed-property to the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and almost numberlessjlves. Hefferner was leader in this hellish band, andreas arrested for the cold-blooded murder of an unarmed stranger. On Friday night; a cold,, blustery evening, the vigilance committee met at Armory Hall, on B street so quietly that few knew anything of the matter. Sentinels admitted only those who had the password, and sent all others about their business. There were not far from one hundred -of the vigilants assembled, and all were armed with pistols, shot-guns and the muskets of the Emmett Guard, which they found and took possession of at the hall. About 1 o'clock the sheriff and under-sheriff at the jail were aroused by a knocking at their door, and, drawing the bolt, a dozen men with levelled guns rushed In and demanded the keys. They were re? fused, but searched and found them, when they soon took out Hefferner and led him to the Ophir mine, where a beam projected from a building across a deep cut for a car track. Across this a board was placed, on which the prisoner was made to stand while a rope was noosed around nh neck and fastened to the beam overhead. Hefferner was cool abd Arm, protesting his Innocence, and making no con? fession. When the small board upon which he stood was removed; he gave a spring upward at the same time, making his fall still greater. His body was fouud in the morning, still sus? pended where the vigilants left lt. The hands and feet were tied, a towel bound across the eyes, and pinned to the left lapel of his coat was a small placard, on which was written : "Arthur Perkins-Committee No.' 601." The coroner's Jury rendered the obvious verdict. The "Council of Safety." A Radical paper, with a bray as of trump? ets, prints what it calla a most remarkable document-"The Constitution of the Council "of Safety of South Carolina." This docu? ment is said to have been in the possession of our Radical neighbor for several months, and lo! it now demands to know whether the constitution is a forgery or a genuine article. We now see this so-called constitution for the first time, and we print it that the people of the State may become acquainted with "the secret political society" which pro? poses, ir there be such a society, to preserve the peace, to enforce the laws, to defend the persons and property of the pepple, to labor for the restoration of constitutional liberty as taught by our forefathers, and to reform abuses in tbe State and National Gov? ernment These be noble purposes ; they are the purposes for which all good citizens should live, and, if needs be, die. Secret po? litical societies are not to our taste. We have always condemned them. But it must be admitted that there are times, in the history of every nation, when the dagger of the assassin and tile torch of the incen? diary can only be met by organizations which, by their secrecy, rapidity and cer? tainty of action, will strike terror into the breast of evil doers. That South Caro? lina may be spared so grievous a calamity, is the earnest hope of all who have ber in? terests at heart. We know not whether the Council of Safety has . any active existence ; no" I do we know more of its pfans, if it does exist, than is set forth in the so called constitution. This, however, wc frankly say : The "Council of Safety" pro? poses nothing inconsistent with law and order ; nor does it appear to contemplate any other forcible movements than those, as io Laurens and Chester, which are de? manded by the supreme necessities of self protection and self defence. The May Convention. So great is the agitation among all classes of the people upon the subject of Debt and Taxation, and so general is the determina? tion to And a way-or straight, or crooked ont of the difficulties and dangers which be set the State, that the Convention invited by the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade of Charleston will no doubt be held, and will, it is hoped, be a worthy exponent of the views and desires of the taxpayers of South Carolina'.- There is no pol?tica! axe to grind. The plain purpose is to give those who pay nine-tenths of the taxes, while they have no voice in imposing them, an oppor? tunity of counselling together, so that the people may obtain, if possible, some securi? ty against a continuance of the profligate legislation which is fast ruining the State, and has already brought thousands to the threshold of the poorhouse. That the Convention, if composed of the right men and acting in the right spirit, will do good, there can be no question. The people, groping about in darkness, ask for a guiding light They demand that, if there be a peaceful remedy for all our troubles-and we believe that there is-that the remedy shall be put before them. Un? less this be done the younger citizens of the State, driven to despair, will not be restrain? ed from cutting the knot which their elders fail to untie. Of all times, this is thc time when the grave and thoughtful representatives of the wealth, intelligence and virtue of South Car? olina should assemble in council for the sal? vation of their people. But, that their words may have weight ana power, the del? egates to the May Convention should be chosen with scrupulous care. They should be staid, responsible men, of high position und moderate opinions, recognized through? out the State as citizens who* do not weigh personal ambition in the scale with the pub? lic good. Such a body will command re? spect at home aud abroad. Its recommen? dations will not be idly made. And if the Convention should succeed in solving the social aud financial problem, its members will, iudeed, have deserved well of the Com? monwealth. They may fail, but it is their duty, and ours, to exhaust all the means which suggest themselves for redeeming South Carolina from the incubus of igno? rance aud vice, social disturbance and finan? cial trouble. For what may come there? after, this people cannot be held to account. X Little Land "Spec." We have a letter before U3 from a dealer in government land scrip in San Fraucisco. CaL, sliowiug that he purchased between Noveraoer 15, 1870, and March 1, 1871, 52,160 acres of South Carolina Agricultural College land 6crip at un average price of about 92 cents per acre. This scrip was all purchased from G. F. Lewis, Cleveland, Ohio. It will be remembered that the Gov? ernor reported to the Senate, in compliance with a resolution of that body, December 22, 1870, that the Financial Agent of the State in New York had sold South lina's quota of Agricultural College scrip, be lng 180,000 acres, at seventy-two and a cents an acre. If Lewis got tbe lot at price, and sells all at the prices obtained above, he will clear thirty-four thousand hundred and sixty dollars, which, in a season like this, does very well for a operation. It would be pleasant, however to unearth just one transaction, between the State and a speculator, in which the " State bad the best of the bargain. The $34,000 profit which went into "somebody's" would certainly have been some help to the people of the State. Counting Up the War. The German newspapers are counting up the wonderful results of the seven months war, which waa declared in Paris on July 19, 1870, was virtually brought to an end by the capitulation o? Paris on the 28th January, 1871, and was finally closed on the 16th February. The war lasted 210 days During the first seven days of the war the armies from North and South Germany were concentrated, and within thirteen days their strategic march to the frontier was accom plished. The army, numbering between 500,000 and 600,000 men, was transported over five principal lines of railroad, each one forwarding daily on an average, 42,000 men, together with the necessary horses artillery, munitions and vehicles of trans port. Four corps d'arm?e were thus con veyed to the French boundary, some of them 300 miles, some 500 miles, and, durin the transportation, men and horses had to b victualled and cared for. This is the most extraordinary concentration of an army on record. History has nothing to compare with it. Deducting the days lost in concentrating and the time which elapsed between the ca pitulation of Paris and the treaty of peace we have, for the active duration of the war 180 days. During this time the German troops fought 17 grand battles and 156 bat ties of less importance, captured 26 fortified places, 6700 pieces of artillery, 120 eagles or dags, 11,650. officers, and 363,000 men This, on an average, is 3 great and 26 smaller battles, 4 fortresses, 20 eagles, 1110 pieces of artillery, 1950 officers, and 60,500 men a month. This gives a fortress taken every six days, a grand battle every ninth day, and a minor battle every day. This looks on paper like a triumphal march, yet one German regiment, the 48th, lost 61 officers out of 64, and 1543 men out of 3000. The 52d regiment also lost 58 officers, 7 colors and 1331 men. Most of the regiments of the 3d Corps lost 40 to 50 officers, and 1.000 to 1100 men-proof that there must have been desperate lighting. The Spartanburg Republican favors the call for the May Convention, urges that concessions be made upon both sides, and ia confident that Governor Scott will heartily endorse any legitimate movement looking towards the future peace and prosperity of toe State. The Carolina Spartan fears the Convention will amount to nothing, but ad? vises that Spartanburg send delegates so that the taxpayers of the State may meet as taxpayers. The Sumter News gives notice of a meeting to appoint delegates to the Convention. A LARGS MEETING of the citizens and tax? payers of Union County has been held at Uniou Courthouse, at which resolutions wefe unanimously passed approving and endorsing the action of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce in relation to the finances ol the State ; also resolving to send delegates to the Convention nt Columbia in May next. A LARGE public meeting of taxpayers, held in Abbeville on the 1st instant, en? dorsed the resolutions of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce. iflarneD. .WELCH-SPEAR.-un Tuesday evening, 4th in? stant, at the residence of the bride, by the Rev.

BOLLIN.-Died, in Columbia S. C., on Thurs? day, the 23d nit., Mr. CHARLES J. BOLLIN, in the 60th year of his agc. Mr. BOLLIN was born in Marseille?, France, and came to this country at a very early age. Accus? tomed, from the beginning to h w his way by lus own exertions, be engaged at once In business where- his labors were crowned wl<h considerable success. A quarter or a century ago he entered into the employment or the ?south Carolina Rail mad company, and lor a long senes or years held tue arduous and responsible position of agent ot the company at Columbia His fidelity, his ener? gy and his devotion to the iuierests or the com? pany caused him to be held in High esteem, and when, a lew mont us since, railing health com? pelled him to tender his resignation, the board or directors unanimously adopted aseries or com? plimentary resolutions acknowledging his long and reithiu! services, and bestowing upon him a flat einig token or their high appreciation and regard. As a citizen Mr. BOLLIN was universally respect? ed. Public lire was not to his taste, but he serv? ed with credit as an alderman or Columbia, and was fur several years a director or the Exchange Hank ot that city. In both positions he justified tlie conlldence reposed in hun, and merited, aud received, the approval or his ellow chizeus. The life of Mr. BOLLIN was not eventful. When we have said that he was unsold h, generous and affectionate the tale ls well nigh told. But no friend or roe ever appealed to bim lu valu. The gates or his big heart were never closed. A child? like tenderness or word and manner marked lils Intercourse with his relatives, and with the near cr ones aud dearer ones who now mourn his loss. And Ha veil of doubt and misfortune darkened his closing dav s on earth, lt wa-only, In God's mer? cy, thai there mignt be greater Joy In heaven over the wanderer who died in the bosom or the church, reposing his every fault, with trembling confidence, In the bosom or lils crucified Re? deemer. May he rest In peace. * SPRINGS.-Died, in Summervale, S.

Bearing this fact In mind, let the first symptoms of debility or nervous prostration be met promply with Invigorating treatment. Foremost among the vegetable tonics or the age stands HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, and whenever tha vital powers seem to languish, or there ls any reason to suspect that the animal functions eseentlal to the snstcnatlon and purifi? cation of the body are imperfectly performed, this valuable in vigoran: and antiseptic should at once be resorted to. Indigestion always produces weak? ness of the bodily powers. Sometimes lt happens that the appetite demands more food than the stomach can digest; though not more, perhaps, than is required to keep up the full strength of the frame. The object under such circumstances ts to Increase the digi sUve capacity of the assimi? lating organs, so as to make lt equal to the duty Imposed upon lt ny the appente.and capable of sap plying the building material or the system os rast as lt is required. This object is fully accomplish? ed by the use or the Bitters. They tone and gently stimulate the cellular membrane, which secretes the gastric juices, and the result ls that the sol. vent ls mingled with the rood In sufficient quan? tity to convert all Its nourishing particles Into pure and wholesome element. If, on the otner hand, there ls a detlcleucy or appetite, without any corresponding deficiency or digestive power, the edee t or the tonic 1B to stimulate a desire for food. In nineteen cases ont of twenty, headache, nausea, nervousness, fainting tits, spasms, and, Indeed, most of the casual aches and pains to which humanity ls subject, proceed primarily from Indigestion complicated with biliousness; and ror both these complaints HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are recommended as a speedy and certain remedy. aprl-floac gar JOHN C.
