NEWS OB THE BAT. -Gold closed in New York, yesterday, at U?all?. -Cotton waa quoted steady at the close at 17i cents; saleB 3372 bales. -There were no markets 'in Liverpool yes? terday -Brown linen cuffs are said to be coming into fashion. -The New York police are to wear helmets alter the London fashion. .- WeBtern papers predict the largest wheat crop for many years. -Germany now rejoices in thirty-three journals especially devoted to humor, whose aggregate circulation ls about 300,000. -In Germany, when a paper says anything wilty, they kill'the editor; and not one editor has been killed there tor two hundred years. -The destruction of the column of the Place Vendome will add to the value of the bronze models, numbers of which are among the art collections in parlors in the United States. -The Japanese have but two foreign minis? ters, one ot whom serves for entire Europe, while the other they send to the United States, j as illustrative ot the respect in v> nich they hold this country. -Women are rapidly marching forward to complete emancipation. A beautiful and well educated young lady has just opened a large boot and shoe store in Philadelphia. She has three girl clerks, and they all weat little fancy aprons made ot leather, so as to look business? like, at the same time pretty. -Among the recent reported failures in New York, the Northern papers announce the fol? lowing : Bassett <k Higgins, importers and Job? bers of shawls, <fcc; Stephenson Bros. i Co., dry goods commission; David J. Sullivan, fancy goods; Armstrong. Follett St Co., wool commission; Burnham & Bates, while lead; and Leacii v Hugh, glassware. -Bismarck has all necessary confidence in himself. He has Instructed all thc German ambassadors abroad thai the Prussian of'.ite of Foreign Affairs does not need their own opinions or suggestions upon diplomatic mat? ters. They are simply to transmit facts to that /Office, and he will iry to decide upon them. Thia reduces the German diplomatic body to a position not higher lhau a clerk or a postofflce employee. -Fifty or sixty years ago travel between New York and Philadelphia was confined to lumbering stage coaches, which occupied from twenty to twenty-four hours in making the trip. Now a citizen of Philadelphia can leave that city at 7 o'clock in the morning and bc in Wall street by 10, leaving at 5 in the a! ter noon and reaching home by 8, having ample lime to do a full day's work in any walk ot business.. From Jersey City to Philadelphia, the journey can be made in the fast train of the New Jersey Road In two hours and three-quarters. -An apprehension exists lu France that the vexed question o? the luture government lor the country will be summarily settled by the regular army as soon as a firm foothold is es? tablished in Paris. They have returned from their prisons in Germany not at all pleased with the neglect with which they have been treated, and their contusion with the army that Gambetta created, and which receives from the Versailles government the lion's sharo ol' public recognition and' ministerial favors. If the regular army should, a* appre? hended, make a coup d'?tat, il is not difficult to imagine in whose favor it would be. -It is stated that the rich young Marquis of Bute, tho great Catholic nobleman and hero of "Lothalr," has never permitted himself to be presented to the Queen at Court. Tass is said in consequence of a promise exacted by his ; mother on her death-bed that he would never 1 act. differently. The late Marchioness ot Bute ' bore an Implacable hostility to Queen Victoria ' .in consequence of ihe cruel persecution suffer- 1 . ed by the Lady Flora Hastings-who was her 1 sister-and whom Queen Victoria, one of whose ' ladies of honor she was, suffered, in the first 1 days of her marriage with Prince Albert, to.be ' . driven in disgrace from the court on the ' strength ot slanders long since disproved. * -During the Franco-Prussian war it was urged by the Prussians that the French soldiers 1 fired explosive balls from their cbassepots. ' The same charge has been brought by the Paris 1 insurgents against the Versailles troops. In ' consequence of these facts a commission oPthe ' French Assembly has been engaged in loves- 1 tigating the cause of the presence of explosive cartridges in their soldiers' cartridge-boxes. They have made a report admitting the pres? ence of these explosive balls, but charge that they found their way to the possession of the government in certain ammunition purchased in this country. It is not clear, however, whether this ls a mere evasion of the truth or 1 the truth itself. 1 -AU the pawnbrokerage done in Paris ls ; conducted at the establishment of the Mont de t Piete, which Is under the control of the gov- I ernmeut, and which operates for the benefit ; of the poor. Its profits go to the support of the elly hospitals, and amounted in i860 to about $160.000. The Commune Instituted au examination Into the affairs ot this concern latelv. Its loans were lound to amount to $7,600,000, while the value of the pledges which it holds as security against these reach? ed $36,000,000. The Commune proposed to liquidate Ute establishment aud transform il into "a social organization, assuring to the workmen guarantees of assistance and sup? port in case of want ol work or sickness." -The destruction of the Tuileries and other public buildings by thc Commune was part of a carefully-laid plan formed in view of the possible entrance ot inp Versailles troops or the Prussians into the city. Three or four weeks ago a correspondent, writing from Paris, hai.l that it-was evident that 6ome attempt would4be made at a grand culminat? ing catastrophe in ihe contingency that we have meuiioued above. Certain sewers had ?powder trains laid In them, and the Commune i ; troops had sworn to blow them up rather than yield their positions, If lhej*had to fall back i inside the city. The Temps, the most intelli- 1 gent- of the Paris journals, about the same | time warned the Communists against attempt- i lng to play the flub act of trie "Prophet" in i these mndern times, as it would be only an i idiotic" crime. But. in spite of ibis warning, i the Coi.une has carried out its dreadiul i mode of revenge on the conquerors of their ; Canse. -A leiur Just received from Paris gives i some uiu-re?Aiug particulars aboul the effect i of grapeshot IQ th? gardens of some of thc faubourgs that suffered most In nearly all, the bushes and shrubbery have been lopped off, ts with a scythe, about ten Inches from the (sr?uno, while the.trees seem not to have suffered so much as misht have been antici? pate!. In the park of St. Cloud, where the bomoardmeut from Mont Valerien waa so severe, for many weeks in succession, only five trees are reported as having been actuar? ielle;! to the ground with shot, whereas many ol the higher branches are lopped off and now strewing tho ground underneath. The elegant mansions in the Avenue de la Grand Armee, as. also those ii- the Avenufe des Champs Elysees, have suffered severely, necessitating larg'3 sums to render- teem again tenantable and where is the money to come from ? The fine house at the corner of the Avenue de Friedland ls completely gutted, and must be rebuilt 'rom the foundation; and the fashion? able quarters in the vicinity of Neurlly, well known to so many Americans, are hardly In a better condition. The proprietors of these are irotr. affluence reduced to almost the verge of beggary; for with heavy mortgages coming due, and no tenants or money with which to effect repairs, lt ls difficult to foresee in what shape relief shall come. "Rubbish !" We are right glad to hear that the Radical orgon in this city ia really going to discard politics in dealing with the coming city elec? tion, and that it does "not intend to support "every piece of rubbish which may be put "up and duly labelled 'Candidate for Alder " .maa.' " So far, so good. We ourselves -whatever our private opinions may be might not have ventured to dub a set of pos? sible City Fathers "rubbish;" but since our mon: audacious contemporary has led off in theliseof the plain Saxon, we may be allow? ed meekly to acquiesce in the fitness of the term. Now, having gained so much by persist? ent inquiry, we Want to be enlightened a lit? tle further. The Radical organ proposed a compromise ticket Will it tell us candidly what support can be counted upon for Buen a-ticket among .th03e who have heretofore vote ! with what is .called the Republican parly of Charleston? Shall we say a dozen votes', a hundred votes, or a thousand ? Our contemporary knows, or ought by thi3 time to know, that if enough strength can be drawn from the Radical side to render the success of a compromise ticket reasonably certain, such a ticket would, nat withstand? ing individual ca3es of reluctance or preju? dice, secure the support of the great body of the white citizens. Under these circum? stances, is it not due to consistency that the "orgin" should be actively counting the compromise - noses among its political friends ? The Potare of Charleston. Charleston is just now at the crisis of her destiny. It is of the utmost importance to her future welfare that her condition and her vants should be carefully studied, and that ?k il fui -counsel be called in to put heron her feet once more. We ar? led to tfai3 train of thought upon reading a communication in yesterday's Courier, wherein the writer puts forth some ?scellent views, brimful of good, hard business sense, which merit more than a passing notice. After instituting a comparison between our city and Savannah, Macon and Atlanta, to the disadvantage of Charleston, as not having made the progress since the war which is observable in those Georgia cities, he says: "E''ery one in Atlanta seems confident of eontlnued prosperity, while we here are de? pressed. And yet we have tho pleasantest city, with natural advantages, superior, in many re? spects to either of those mentioned, and IQ the* way of business men we have as much to boast ol as any city in the South. The character of our business men has stood uniformly high for integrity and enterprise; and yet our Business increases but slowly, if at all; real estate re? mains low and declining; but few buildings are being erected, and the confidence which se? cures success seems altogether wanting. ( "The causes operating to our disadvantage are lo be sought for and remedied, if possible. And what ase they ? First and greatest are our heavy city debt aud taxes, and the great inefff- 1 :ient management of our cHy government. If 1 there was ever a time when Charleston needed : i strong board of Aldermen and Mayor, it i^ ] the present-men of undoubted integrity, I known both at home and abroad to possess < Inanclal skill and ability. Party issues should ? ae laid aside and the question should be, what .. mail we do to bring about a more prosperous . :oddltion ot affairs. Our present board of ' Aldermen and Mayor, with all their bestefforts, ' aa ve laded to accomplish anything towards, ' ?xlrlcatiug us from our present embarrass- I ?nents. and no doubt they have used their best i efforts to that end. A new board with like in sxperlence in financial affairs will meet with no better success." Eero is the rub. Even supposing we ad? mit that the present Council are honest and well-meaning, their palpable and universally I admitted incapacity would in itself clearly < point to their unfitness for the responsible i position they hold. Why should not the I same tul?hold good io the management of ' the business and the finances of a city, as of ? i private individual, of a mercantile firm, or < i railroad company? IQ looking about for a ' business manager, or for the directors of a i raijroad, we certainly do not select men no- 1 ted oniy for their ignorance or inexperience. ] Under "communistic" rule it may be deemed I a sufficient qualification for the office of '< Minister of Finance that the candidate never possessed twenty francs at auy one time in his life; but muter systems of government, less "advanced," the mere fact of a candi? date being stupid, mouthy and rapacious, hardly cuusiituto au indisputable claim lo consideration. We fully agree with "A Citi "zen,': that practical business men alone should be entrusted with the management of our city's finances. ' lu regard to the proposed compromise be? tween the two parties, in the approaching election, "A Citizen"says: "A .compromise of taking half from each party bas been suggested, as promlsin-r good results ; and while -being among tho first to favor this plan, on further reflection I doubt it? expediency, solely for the reason It will not bring out our ablest men. We now want to place th? mauagemeal cl our affairs in the best bauds wt can find, and then it will be no easy task forthfin to accomplish the desired .re- ? suits. Tue task is so ?real that' the men we ?oed w ll i LOL risk their financial repuiutlon fu i weak board, and very uaturally will decilne nomination il it comes to an equal party divis? ion; but nominate a full strong" board, and none, we trust, wMl decline. Large money negotiations have to be. made, and some way devised to reduce our present debt and merge it in new stocks or. bonds worth par value. Wi tb. our debt reduced t0 manageable propor? tions, improvement a haye to be Inaugurated.'' I He tien SKptche??;6ome of??be improve? ments he things we shouloSenter'.upon: \ ' .-Meeting street needs a Nicholson pavement, from Calboun"street to the Battery." frhe Bat .iery should be extended to the west end of South Bay, and by bejng continued to Intersect with Rutledge 6treet we would open up a street that would be the most desirable for pri? vate? residences In the city,-and make one of the most.delightlul drives and promenades In the country, and of which any city in the world might deservedly be proud. A strong influ? ence brought to bear upon the different rail? road companies might induce them to unite in a centini depot at the east end of Calhoun street, with lreight depots and shops justabove, and tracks down to the lower wharves ; and if no track crossed the travelled road until above. the Six Mile House, the pleasure pf a drive out of the city would not bc dampened by the fear of accidents caused by the passing trah?. All these and other improvements are necessary to make out city attractive, and induce addi? tional population and capital. An able board of Aldermen and Mayor, such as could be named, strong In ability and financial skill, might succeed in bringing about these results. In any event, a proper management of our affairs would not fall to be felt by the hum? blest individual. All would become more prosperous and enterprising. Large numbers o? cheap houses would be built by which the poor man could secure .a comfortable borne at a moderate rent, and os our Wealth increased our taxes would be reduced. Inexperienced men cannot manage our affairs and bring about these results, while a board of thorough business men might accomplish much ; and if so, is it not worth the effort of every man, white and colored, to elect such a board V The foHo wing appeal to our colored fellow citizens is marked by moderation and good sense, and must carry conviction to every unbiased mind, il such there be, nowadays: ?gTo the intelligent arid industrious colored men who expect to make their living by their labor, I now appeal. Have-you not bad enough of small politicians who raise the cry of vote with your party for the purpose of getting, themselves into offices they are Incompetent to fill ? Hod they not better go tb work and disabuse their minds of the' Impression ?he -world-is resting on their shoulders? They have succeeded In having the time for the elec? tion changed to August, while many are away, hoping thereby to elect their men, and it will be an unfortunate Ching for the city should they do so. "It would seem, by this time, that those who have eyes to see and ear6 to hear should know that in voting and electing to office men well known to possess high qualifications and en? larged financial experience, each will come in tor his share of the improved general pros? perity, and will get equal justice at their, hands, and secure a lair share of public positions so far as competent to fill: Then, wiry vote lor inefficient men, and allow them looger to throw party strings around you, and continue to bring odium upon your race. Free your minds ol the impression they have constants attempted to create, that Justice Would not be done you if such' men, as mentioned, bad con? trol ot affairs. Common sense, certainly, by this time1 has taught you better. Supported by your suffrages they will never be false to your in ter ea ts, ana equal justice will not tall lo be done you. "I hope I am not mistaken in believing that mose than enough colored men aro- now. ready to co-operate with all good citizens, regardless of party, and bring about the. happy result of electing such men os I have mentioned. "Are our colored citizens prepared to lake this stand ? We await their action." ' These be not mere "fine words." Every? one of them has the ring-o? truth; and we earnestly commend them to the utlenlion of our readers, white and colored. The 5?UW- County of Aiken. On Saturday, May 27th, the commission era appointed to select the site for the court? house und jail of Aiken County held a meet? ing, Senator F. Arnim presiding. After silencing ' Prince Rivers and one cr two of hie. friends, who were disposed to delay mat? ters and occasion discord, the commission? ers examined plans and estimates submitted Tor the erection of the contemplated build? ings, and were convinced that suitable ones could not be erected for Tess than fifty thou? sand dollars. Not wishing to tax the. citi? zens for this purpose, it was resolved to petition the Legislature for leave to issue bonds for the amount required upon the credit of the county. The site for the build? ings was not determined upon, but a com? mittee was appointed for that purp.ose. It is believed that a place about midway be? tween the two hotels will be selected. It is me opinion that if tbe Legislature grant the petition for the issue of bonds there will be no difficulty in raising the required sum. Minority Representation. Certainly if the Legislature wishes to keep up any pretence whatever, of representing the wishes of the People it will have no ex? cuse for failing to introduce, as speedily as may be, the principle of Minority Repr?senta Lion into the political system of our State. The schem? has the support of every journal in the State, Radical and Opposition, with >ue unimportant exception; and, as far as we have seen, there is as yet na prominent man of either political party who has cared :o array himself against it. Let the news? papers of the North, then, take notice that Lhere is one point at least upon which we of South Carolinaare "a happy family." The Governor and Martial Law, A Washington dispatch, of the 26lh inst., bringa us. the following gratifying informa? tion: "Governor Scott, of South Carolina, who ar? rived here yesterday, had a long interview with President Grant this morning, in which he Bttld'lhere was no necessity for pulling the Slate under maniai law, and lhat lhere was a good slate ot feeling among the better classes ol c;llzens lo put down Ku-Klux organizations.
