JTEWS OE TBE DAT. I -Gold closed in New York yesterday, at ll J all?. -Cotton closed quiet and firm at 15jc; sales 2000 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed steady and quiet; uplands 7?a7jd.; sales 10,000 bales. -The New York Stock Exchange has elect? ed W. B. Clorde president, and M. A. Whee? lock chairman, of the board. -W. W. Corcoran is gradually becoming weaker, and the hopes which have been en? tertained of his recovery are but slight now. -The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti? more Railroad shops, with some seventeen engines, were burned yesterday. The Are was caused by the falling of some .sparks from a locomotive. Loss very iaeavy. -A Washington letter says: "The Presi? dent's proclamation, issued to day in accord? ance with the terms of the Ku-Klux or force law,, will soon be followed by proper instruc? tions to United States marshals, based on the details of the act. The law requires the proc? lamation in the first instance, then contem? plates the exercise of ics powers-through the civil officers, sustaine? by a military force if deemed necessary by said officers. Troops . can be used without any requisition by the Governor of a State, and will be sent, it is stated, into North Carolina and Mississippi, lt the marshals report that they require them. A letter from Columbia, S. C. states that Gov? ernor Scott does not deem the further use of the Stale militia or Federal troops necessary." -The New York Evening Post says : "The convention of South Carolina" taxpayers will assemble in Columbia on Tuesday. Its work will be watched with more interest in all parts of the country than that ot any political con? vention to be held this year. Although its work will be political, it will not be partisan, if the authors of the movement continue to control lt. The best men in both parties have advised moderation and mutual forbearance in the present trying condition of the State, and it is said that eveiy town will be repre? sented by men who have great interests at stake, and who desire both peace and thorough reform. The convention ls called for the pur? pose of reviewing the alleged extravagance of the State government, which causes ruinous taxation, and nas more than doubled the State debt. The facts complained ot are admitted by the friends of the State government, and it is reasonable to hope that all parties will Join in devising some practical method of reform." -A Paris correspondent gives some further and painful Incidents of the murder ol Gen? erals Lecomte and Clement Thomas by the Reds. The former's courage failed at the last moment. He tried to fly. but was seized and pushed against the wall. His fatherly plea to spare him for his five children, was unheard by his implacable linesmen. A sergeant, how? ever, advanced towards him. "General," said he, "It you will promise-." Suddenly chang* Lng his mind, he stepped two puces back, and discharged his chassepot full in the general's chest. The others had only to finish the deed. Cl?ment Thomas never showed a moment's weakness. -His back against the same wall as Lecomte, but two paces Irom his corpse, he made head against death to the end, and spoke very harshly. When the guns were lowered he, by an instinctive gesture, placed his lett arm before his lace; and this old Re? publican died in the altitude ot Cesar. -Narrow gauge railroads, on account of their cheapness and their practicability in places where it would not be possible to con? struct roads ot the ordinary width, are at tract i ng much attention in some parts of the United States. A thirty-mile road is in process of construction from Cape' Girardeau lo the iron banks in Bollinger County, Missouri, of which one mile is finished. The cost ot this one mile, laid with T rail, has i>een $6537 60, and the cost of the entire thirty miles ls estimated at $213,000, allowing $16,875 for culverts, bridges, 4c. The road bed is six teet wide on top, fol? lowing thc rise and fall of the ground where itdoes not exceed seventy feet to the mile, and winding round high hills and steep grades In curves of two hundred feet radius, less than one-third that required for the ordinary gauge. Rolling stock sufficient for the requirements of such a road-say two locomoUves, four pas? senger cars, thirty plattorm cars and ten box cars-are estimated at $27,000 additional, making a total cost for road and equipments of $240,000. For mining and all hilly regions thc narrow track roads ore peculiarly adapted, and they are also likely to come into extensive use as feeders to established lines of railway. -The New York World's Columbia, S. C., corresponder.ee gives a vivid sketch of our Supreme -Court, under the new r?gime. Chief Justice Moses is described as a Dative Caro? linian, of hard, woodenlsh expression, with a bis. corrugated face adorned with spare patches of hair, like a "poor field with brier bushes and furze. Ol his associates, Justice Willard is part and parcel of the scorioj thro wu upon this soil by the great volcano of the war. He ls a large man, with the head of a silver badger and a beard much like that ot Hudibras; while Justice Wright is said to Lave been a Philadelphia barber. He has unmiti? gated wool, extremely thick lips, and eyes with a superabundance of while. These eyes goggle continuously, aud when the judicial eye-glass is applied thereto to make out some tough word in a brief, the sight is one for men and gods to cont?mplale and sigh. A case of lessee vs. mortgagee was on, and liihe muddle was worse than the worthy Rev. Mr Blatter growl's preliminary discourse in ihe Anti? quary' of three solid hours on the law ol telnds," the chief justice remarking and being corrected by the bar, and saying yes, that was what hu meant, and then uo, thal was not what he meant, and the black fellow on. the bench sticking his eye-glass lu his revolving eye and looking at his brief, and flinging him? self back in hie chair, and making his silk gown rustle, and-then the correspondent left. -A private letter from a gentleman in Vicksburg to a frieud in Chicago, gives the following interesting account of a visit made by the former, in compar?y with Jefferson Da? vis, to the plauiation formerly owned by the late Joseph E. Davis, brother of Jeff, in Missis? sippi : "We lett at night on the R. E. Lee, one of our iin?->i steamers, aud maded ut ihe Hur? ricane plantai'on about daylight the next morning. This plantation and another known as Blalrtleld were occupied before the war by Joseph E. Davis aud his brother, President Da / Ni vis. Ikey were sold by Mr. Joseph E. Davis, who owned them both, to his favorite freed? man, Ban Montgomery, for $300,000, payable at the end of ten yeSrs, (1st January, 187G,) Interest at sis per cent., payable annually. Ben. who is very black, but thoroughly edu? cated before the war, met us and gave u3 a breakfest, waiting on the table himself, but. not offering to take a sear. After breakfast we had a carriage and rode over the magnificent estate, the extent of which you can form some idea of when I tell you thal Ben Montgomery made list year 2500 bales of cotton and a large quanti'? rf corn. We dined at Blalrfleld, the former re*b>euce Of Mr. Jefferson Davis, and now occupied as a residence by the aforesaid Ben, i.nd yoe will not be surprised to learn that the former slaves of Mr. Davis greeted him wi th all the warmth of affection that they were capable o? expressing. Mr. Davis met them cordially and encouraged them by many kind words. After dinner at which our wealthy host again waited ou us in exoellent 6tyle, we passed on to a very large and valu? able plantation which had been purchased by Ben Montgomery and added to the Davis es? tate, and which will add to his crop this year probably 1000 bales more, making 35UO in all, If it ls a good crop year." A Case of Caeek.. Jtfr. Timothy Hurley, we are told, !?as bought-some pieces of silver (we are not in? formed whether the Lumber be thirty, or not,) which he intend* ?3 prizes for which the white Are companies of Charleston, in the persons of their respective Presidents, shall compete at the coming-tournament. And further, that he stipulates that the award shall be made by a committee of la? dies to be designated by the companies. Now Mr. Hurley, whatever he may have been when he -otered the political arena in South Carolina, is understood to be a large capital? ist, a;id it is natural enough that so shrewd a politician should be more than willing to cullivute pleasant relations wiibso large and influential au organization as the Charleston Fire Department. It is a matter of small concern to those whose interests Mr. Hur? ley, by a pleasant fiction, is supposed to rep? resen: in the General Assembly, how he may choose to indulge bis eccentric or generous whims; but, in the present instance, we shall be curious to see how our white fire? men, among whom the sources of Mr. Hur? ley's wealth are hardly a secret, will relish the idea of becoming the contestants for his bounty, and especially of selecting from among their lady friends those who may covet the honor of making the award. In case the white firemen should not manifest a becoming eagerness to engage in the pro? posed rivalry, we would mildly suggest that the ptizes be turned over to the colored fire? men, a majority of whom are Mr. Hurley's own constituents and supporters, and who would, doubtless, be less fastidious in their views than their white brethren. Thc Cotton Qucs?oii-A Plea for In? creased Production. So much has been said in favor of our planters making a small cotton crop, aud de? voting more of their attention to the produc? tion of corn and provisions, that a fair pre? sentation of the other side of the question has become a matter of very general ioter .est. An able and instructive paper on the subject has lately appeared in one of our Southern contemporaries, from the pen of B. F. Nourse, Esq., of Boston, a gentleman specially qualified by experience and train? ing to discuss the question, so momentous to the future of the Southern people. The article was written in reply to the counsel given to the South by the New York Com? mercial and Financial Ghronicle, that it would be better to reduce cotton production fofo time, until, by a diminution of receipts, its market would again offer better prices. It is the Pennsylvania theory rejecting coaL Mr. Nourse, after reviewing the entire ground, proceeds to assail such advice as this with the full vigor o? fact, argument and illustra? tion; and ;n iiis reply makes up a broad and complete statement of the condition and prospects of*cotton planting in this country. He shows thai it is fallacious to advise the SOuth to abandon cotton and take to the production of -corn ; aud advises a steady continuance with colton, arguing that the years IS69 utxl 1870 have been so exceptional as lo be held providential by the planter, and that, considering how Brazil, Egypt and India are visibly fulling off, this is ihe decis? ive time for us to make that final exertiou which is surely to establish us as masters of the cotton market of the world, and after that io enable us to fix prices as we mainly prefer. The article of Mr. Nourse is full of interest as a discussion of the influence of a full crop of conon upon the- individual and the whole Southern Bection, and thence upon the interests and industries of the entire country. We will cite a few of the points made by him in the way both of illustrating and enforcing his argument. In the first place, he begs the planter to keep in mind that three of the last months of last year need not be expected to repeat themselves very soon. Next, the large plantations are cut up into small farm's. Before emancipa? tion, and when cotton brought ten cents, ii was reckoued Uiat, in Georgia for instance, one-third of the crop wa? made by free while labor; now fully one-half is so produced. Every farmer can produce all the food crops he ueeds, and from three to eight bales of conon lo every able-bodied male member of his family. Colton will keep, when grain is perishable. How eau it be ascertained to a Certainty whether it is less profitable to raise it, even with fears of au overcrop, than it would be to let the fields run to sedge uud wire grass! Ii is helter ta work the land, and the taxes ure jusi as heavy on idle as on productive fields. Considered in reference to value, Ameri? can cotton can be profitably produced more cheaply than any oilier iu the world. Yet we have never had but one crop before the I present that exceeded four million bales. Foreign nations may plant one more lurge .crop in order to lest their ability to recover former prices for it; but thai furnishes all the stronger reason why the South should do the same, that it may relire from the field of competition the muster. Mr. Nourse allows to the South, after deducting all possible outlays from their lust year's crop, and every offset of importation uguinsi exportation, a remainder of over hundred aud fifty millions .of dollars. To Ibis he justly adds ihe obvi? ous value of continue'! industry, comfort? able subsistence and health to the. Southern people, progress in agriculture and manufac? tures, and every improvement sustaineU and impelled by the power of that crop. When a few more crops shall have added that large annual amount, and the mechanic arts shall have become established by the immigration of skilled artisans, and the trained labor ^re? quired in shops, factories .and mines shall have been supplied, then the capital and skill that is now accumulating there will be? get diversified employment, and agriculture will lind its own .remedies for excess in any single specialty. But the capital must go on accumulating a while longer. To the inquiry, what has become of the large sums already acquired by the South, Mr. Nourse answers as follows: Much of it bas been expended in reproductive power ; some is employed through bankers and others; a large pro? portion is hoarded, as is the habit in scat? tered agricultural communities; and all of it remains scattered and ineffective, when it should be concentrated. The mountaiu ranges are filled with valuable minerals; be? tween them aud the cotton-belt stretch vast grain fields, awaiting cultivation to suBtain mining and mechanical industries. Io respect to price, both for the staple and the articles consumed by its producers, the general advance is rationally accounted for. Mr. Nourse shows that a cost bf 5?tl. on the plantation would be about 124c. per pound currency. A surplus of a million and a half bales would be no greater to carry over now than waa half that number of bales in 1857-58* There is a very large increase in the supply of gold; trade and markets are greatly ex? tended ; there exist3 everywhere an increas? ed buying power, even among barbarian ar d balf-civilized people; and transportation has become cheap and rapid. Hence the average value of everything useful or ornamental has been enhanced, and why not cotton ? Half the crop i3 to be produced, as estimated, without hired labor, nor will the latter be what it was last year, nor more than for able bodied hands in I860. Lands bring less than half the price at that time. Everything is as cheap now, except sui ?-.tenc.e supplies, a3 twelve years ago. Hence it is a mistake to say that cotton cannot be raised for le3S than twelve cents, when the South became wealthy by producing it for a series ri years at not more than seven, and oftener K^S than that The great problem, in Mr. Nourse's opinion, ?3 to bring about mutually satisfac? tory and stable relations between laborer and employer, and that is the work of time and good intentions. The crop of 1870-71 brought wealth to the South, and the crop^of the present year ought to be made for less cost; and though low prices for cotton look unfavorable, they are capable of working" out permanent benefit to that section, and the whole country. And thus they will, if continued, have done more to establish cot? ton production in the South on a stable and profitable basis than all the yeats of high prices since the war. Economy of manage? ment and a larger application of personal industry and labor are insisted on as the surest supplementary agencies for restoring the South to astateof permanent prosperity. I COLUMBIA wished to have a larger repre? sentation in the Taxpayers'Convention than the number of delegates first designated, and accordingly a public meeting was held there on Saturday, and the following.addi? tional delegates were chosen, viz: C.
