V _.-. THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1871. REWS OE THE DAT. -Gold closed in New York yesterday at 11} alli. -The proprietors of three of the large not?is i n New York city have recently gone into bank r uptcy. -The spring book trade sale in New York was a surprise to the trade. Good, new and s tan dard books brought excellent prices. -The colored cadet Bmltb, at West Point, bas been kicking the shina ot some ol uthe white trash" there. -A Covington lady gave her child hair. oil tor a cough, by mistake, but it worked just as well. . . -Judge Flippin, of Tennessee, was recently compelled, In the line of his duty, to sentence an old school-mate and play-fellow to death for a heinous crime. -They talk 'ot placing the Queen of Den? mark, the moat economical ot female sover? eigns, on the throne of fashion, in place of the Empress Eugenie, the most extravagant one. -Indiana juries evidently do not appreciate the tenderness of women's blighted hearts. The other day, twelve of these monsters in human form awarded only nineteen cents out of $20,000 claimed by a young lady lu a breach o? promise suit. -In London a season ot gland opera is an? nounced to continue thirty-five nights, and the subscription price is fixed tor the tasbion * . able parts of the house al $1155 for a Beat dur *P tag the season. The average price for a sin? gle evening ls thus $3*3 in gold. -Kansas City, Mo., must be a delightful and secure place ot residence. It is two miles square, cental as 40,000 inhabitants, and has a force of only nine policemen. Either they must be a very law-abiding people in Kansas City, or else the state of society must be rath? er unpleasant. -It will be remembered that some time ago a description was given of a unique gold pen a perfect imitation of a goose quill, and ln crusted with diamonds, which wai made ex? pressly for Prince Bismarck at Phorzhelm, and presented to him by Herr Bissinger, of that place, who requested that the treaty of peace should be signed with it. It was actually used . # for that purpose, and the chancellor related with manifest gratification the history of this precious plume to some French gentleman who happened to oe present. -It ls proposed to open in Frankfort a sort of commercial intelligence office, to be called a German-American bureau, which is designed to supply the German holders ol American securities with information as to financial affairs in this country. Merchants, manufac? turers and emigrants will also be put in pos? session ot such facts about American matters as they may require, and numerous agents are -mm ? -?ymmma in all >'???? "' ?????-<?-??? 'Am f.... ward to the establishment tue latest and most important news. In connection with this enterprise is to be issued a weekly journal to be called the Der.tsch-Amerlkanischer (Econo? mist. . -General Weider, who at a critical period I nterposed with a handful of men against Bourbaki's invasion of Germany, has just been * presented by a number ot American residents and sojourners In Vienna with an elegantly executed complimentary address, bound in red velvet, and ornamented with a design In gold and enamel, representing the Imperial German eagle and the flags of Germany and America. The address, which was composed by some literary American residing in Vienna, whose name ls not given, is both German and English. It begins with expressing the, best wishes of America for German unity and pros? perity, and ends by calling for a grand and welcoming cheer for the German Empire. -France will .have to pay 5,000,000.000 francs to Germany as a war indemnity. This, i n five-franc gold pieces, would weigh 55,000. 000 pounds avoirdupois. To transport all this gold by rail, supposing each car to carry 11,003 pounds, a train of 5000 cars would be required. When spread out on the ground, one touching the other, these flve-iranc gold pieces would reach almost around the globe. .If five-franc pieces enough to make this amount were placed one above the other, they would make a column of gold 1CTC mile* in height. If this column, having its base in Paris, should topple over in thc direction of Berlin, Berlin would be only one-lh rd of the whole distance reached by the coin at the top of the column. A quick cashier, able to count 10,000 fire-franc pieces in an hour, supposing that he commenced at the age ol 30, would be nearly 70 years of age before he finished count? ing it, In case he should count eight hours daily tor 300 cuys every year. -When the envoys of M. de Rothschild paid the war contributions of Paris, 200,000,0 0 francs, at Versailles, they let a counterfeit 25 tbaler bili slip In arnon : the others. Thc quick eye of a Prussian < mci al at once detected it and the bill was thrown out. Rothschild's people insisted that it was genuine and must be accepted, otherwise they would return to Paris with all their rolls of notes and sacks of coln. With that officiai exactness which is the glory ot Prussian routine, Count Bismarck was at once informed of the misunderstanding He answered : "Herr Director, accept the bill. 1 will myself make up the deficit and preserve the counter lei t uote as a memento of this great day. A great war about nothing more tangi? ble than a lChateau en Espagne1 has J tun been concluded between two great powers; and I can't afford. Just on the heel of it, to turn around und declare war with the house of * Rothschild, the Sixth Great European Power, on account of a false 25 thaler note ?" : -The sesBlooB of the Joint High Commis? sion are remarkable in one particular-that of their successful secrecy. The commisioners on both sides appear to be unapproachable, and the most that caa be claimed for the re? ports that reach us is probability. According to these, lt is understood that the fisheries question opposes the great obstacle to a con? clusion ot the conference. The announced set? tlement of this matter is now said to be prema? ture, as the British members find the American case much stronger than they*expected, uud are jet loth to yield on a poiut in which ibey had so much confidence. WU h regard to ihe Ala? bama quealtou, lt is stated that a definite agreement baa been found. Tue priucipie 1B conceded that nations are responsible lor de? predations on a friendly power comm .led by vessels fitted out ui their poris, v .?.d it is agreed that the Alabama claims shad be suoinuted, on thia principle, to ST commission of five mem? bers, -(o. be appointed by tbe English, and American Governments,--and those of Brazil,. Switzerland and Italy, or, those tailing, of .Sweden and Norway-thia commission to meet at Washington* and determine all the claims j within two years, when they will be paid ia gold. A supplementary commission is provi? ded for, In case of disagreement. If this state? ment is correct, it will be seen that the United States gains almost every point claimed. -The second pamphlet written by Napo? leon III, at Wilhelmsbohe, has been published at Brussels. It is on the -'Military Organiza? tion of the North German Army," and con? tains some remarks on the causes of the French defeats. "Before the misfortunes of 1870," he says, "no weight was attached to the opinion ot those who declared that the mili? tary organization of our country stands in' no : relation to Its political status. * ? * * * Before the campaign of 1870, the artillery committee would not admit that the materiel of the Prussian artillery was more complete and practical than ours, and the engineer com? mittee declared that our fortresses were not too numerous, and that they w?re In a condi? tion to resist the new artillery. It would not allow that one-half of our fortresses must be razed and the other half rebuilt in accordance with the system that has made Antwerp one of the first fortresses in the world. It required such sad events as those we have witnessed to mab:? General Coffinleres-a general of en? gineers-admit before a council ot war that Metz could not withstand a siege for fourteen days if it lost the protection of Marshal Ba zaine's army. Before the campaign of 13.70, the military administration obstinately op? posed the views of those who advised that the country should be divided into several dis? tricts, each with a corps d'armee capable of providing itself with every requlelte for the field In Its own district.-* The Municipal Elections. A Ead ?cai city paper prints n strong ap? peal to the people to remove thc approach? ing municipal elections from the sphere of partisan politics, and to work unitedly, Re? publicans with Democrats, to secure a strong and wise government for Charleston. This union of all good citizens for tbe election of honest and car/able men, irrespective of party, was the platform of the Reformers in the late canvass, and, it is a little singular that the first sheet to advocate a similar policy for Charleston is the one which ex? hausted- all the richness of Billingsgate abuse in condemning the Reform movement. Perhaps "the party'' are not as cock-sure of succeeding as they were last summer. TEE Columbia ?7?ion (Radical) thinks that the remedy for the troubles in this State lies beyc ^ anything which will be likely to be done by a convention. It says: "Let such "efforts be brought to bear upon the Legis? lature, as will induce that body to change "someof the existing laws, cutoff useless "officers, and reduce high salaries, tbe Lieu? tenant Governor's among the rest; pass a "law io alloue cumulative voting, and more "good can be achieved in this than in any "other way. We do not believe anything "can be done by attempting to tinker the "Constitution. That is good enough as it "is." Governor Scott, however, deems it necessary to change tho organic law in more than one particular. The Governor'? Plea. Tba rlrwdftiwimoa af-Covornar SaAtt-in M. gard to the political and financial condition of the State, printed in TUE NEWS of yester? day, are highly satisfactory as far as they go. They announce that the State debt is only $8,009,000 instead of $16,000,000; that lhere will be no difficulty in obtaining rin extension of the time allowed for paying the tax of 1871; that the Hay Convention, if steered clear or politics, ls likely to do far more good than harm ; that there is a better political feeling io the State than at any pre? vious time'since the accomplishment of Re? construction ; that the representation of mi? norities is necessary and right; that, in appointing officials, regard will be had to the fitness and qualifications of a man rather thew to his claims as a mere politician. This is a rose-colored view to take of the situation, and the people would like to bo able to pin their faith to the statements of one who can evidently be jolly undor the most depressing circumstances. But the events of the past three or four years have made this a sceptical people. The act is now the interpreter of the word, in the case of Governor Scott no leas than in that of Leslie or- Crews or Whiltemore. How far, then, are the semi-official declarations of Governor Scott confirmed by the rhost trust? worthy information previously in possession of the people ? In the first place we would correct one erroneous impression. Governor Scott says that he believes that a largo majority of the whites "are Republicans at heart, for the "reason very easily understood, that the chief "issues of the Democratic party, so far as the "State was concerned, are absorbed in the j "Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendm?nls to "theConstitution, or are settled by the war." We admit that, in this State, the negrn ques? tion is settled as a political issue. The amendments to the United States Constitu? tion, which give the colored people their freedom and the right to vote, are now in operation in such a form that they cannot j be abrogated except by another revolution. I We held, theo, that tue majority of the ( whites in South Carolina do recognize the -civil and political equality? of the colored race, and have no thought of receding from the position, in that regard, which they oc? cupied during the Reform canvass. But this does uot make them Republicans, as the words of Governor Scott appear to suggest. Whenever there is, in State or Federal affairs, a political canvass, the whites will vote en masse uirainst the Republican party. A purely Reform movement may be kept clear of politics, and in .such a movement Radicals and anti-Radicals may work aud vote together, but wherever politics, enter into the canvass the whites will vote square? ly against Radicalism. And for obvious reasons. A recognition of the political rights of the negro does not read a man, or any set of tuen, out of the Democratic party. New York stuuds to-day where South Caro? lina stands, und 60 do the great States of the West. The Democracy of the present -as far as can be judged from the pelion of separate States-are flatly opposed to arraying that party against nezro suffrage. On the other batid there are importun; ques tio:i3 on which the Democratic party will claim the support ot' tue whites, and of tba blacks, in this and in every other State. "We want a ittnd Currency, a ie?nwa^ panses, an abolition of tn? protective tariff, and raon-?ite^??encetirftt t?? reserved rights of fhe States. ?hese we cannot obtain from tho.Radt?al party. We agree with GovernOT Scott in the belief that Ku-Kluxism would consolidate Republicanism in the North as well as the South. Bot, if he carries out his promised reforms, there can.be no Ku-Klux i8m, and the questions of free trade and taxation will then lead to the triumph of the opponents of Radicalism here as throughout the land. Upon the subject of the State debt we can', at this time, say bat little. Governor Scott admits that the debt of the State (outside of the railroad guarantees) ia about $8,000,000, and that there are, besides, $2,200,000 of other bonds in the hands of the Financial Agent o? i he State.' This is all that we have claimed. We have said, and say still, tbat the $2,200,000 of bonds now in New York are a part of the public debt, and must so remain until the money borrowed upon their security is repaid, and the bonds themselves are.can? celled. Governor Scott says that the Floating Debt (for which the bonds are pawned) is only $1,000,000, and that he has half that sum in cash in the Treasury. We are glad tcrhear it. When the Floating Debt is paid and the hypothecated bonds are known to be cancelled, we will cheerfully put the debt down at Governor Scott's Agares. We think that the semi-official utterances of Governor Scott will do good. This is not a mulish people. When they are convinced that the Executive is in downright earnest in all that he promises to perform, he will have no cause to complain of a lack of ap? preciation of his efforts to improve the politi? cal and finan?ai condition of the State. New Books < THIS DACGUTER OF AS EOTPTIAN KING. Trans? lated from the German of George Ebers, by Henry Reed. There is a strange charm in a novel whose scene is laid under the shadow of the pyra? mids, and amid the hanging gardens of Babylon, "in the year 528 before the birth "of the Saviour," and where the famous names of .Persia, Egypt and Greece become familiar as household words. But the plot ?a .not a mere peg upon which to haDg the up? holstery of labored archaeological descrip: ti?n. The characters are not Jay figures. They are typical Greeks and Persians and Egyptians, who love and hate, intrigue and flatter, live and die after the manner of their people, but with just that touch of nature, in all their actions, which makes the whole world kin. The story ls, at once, so true and so natural, that there is no rude awakening nntil the tale is told. And if it is the height of art to conceal art, we can well believe that the author, who holds a high rank among the antiquarian scholars of Germany, has sound authority for the incidents and descriptions which the work contains. It is indeed a fascinating book-one which, without seeming to do so, conveys to the willing mind a vast fund of information, and which, at the same time, will delight the lover of exciting fiction.
