VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. GLIMPSES OF GOIRAM. A GREAT REVIVAL OF EXOW-NOTH ?SGISN. New Lodges Forming and Thousands of Recruits for the Old Ones-Another Blot- Threatened-Continued Bitter? ness Against Governor Hoffman-A Great Cotton Warehouse Proposed Brooklyn the ' Future Cotton Depot Progress of the Viaduct Railway. [FROH OUR OW CORRESPONDENT.] NEW TORE, July 26. One effect of the late riots has been to re? vive Khow-Nothlngism, or rather the old spirit of distrust and hatred of our Celtic population. I hear vaguely of tremendous gatherings of | Know-Nothings nightly. It is pretty well known that most of the lodges or societies which were organized during the Know Nothing furore of seventeen years ago were never disbanded. A few ot the memb?rs kept ufythe. form of organization, though they had abandoned any distinctively political purpose in doing so. A leading Republican politician told me more than three years ago that the lodge o? which he became a member In 1853 was still in existence, and though no formal meetings were held, the members considered themselves to be bound to each other by the old secret tie. The occurrences ot the past few weeks, however, seem to have given the pro tives a new lease of life. I am told that all ^he old lodges are in session nightly, and that "housands of recruits are flocking In. Eight new lodges were organized on last Saturday night. In one lodge in Jersey City, 1800 mem? bers have enrolled. Last Thursday night, a lodge at Flushing, in the suburbs, took in 300 new members. These are Isolated cases re Forted to me. Of course there must be many do cot hear ot It is certain that "native ism," which first reared its head In 1842, which sweat over the North, and ran a candidate for the ' Presidency in 1853-6, and which was scotched by Henry A. Wise, in "Virginia, the following year, has been warmed Into lite by recent events. I am assured by an Individual who makes mysterious hints of knowing a good deal about the secret doings of the K. N., that they so longer propose to cali themselves by the old name. Hereafter they are to b? known as "Know-Everythlngs," which, by the way, is still more absurd and uncouth. Their poll tl- j cal purposes are changed too. As they have no animosity against Germans, Frenchmen, Scandinavians, Englishmen and Scotchmen, they propose tn take people of those nationali? ties into their lodges. Tnes will only oppose, the class which they fancy is making an effort to obtain control of the country for its own purposes. Reasonable men will agree that a secret organization, founded on a religious prejudice, cannot live in this country. It may make * some headway for a time, but as it ls so utterly opposed in spirit to the character o? our instl-1 tull?os, it can take no root. The "Know- [ Everythlngs" will probably go the way of the Know-Nothings. The Radical pol? iticians will get Into the organization and Anally use it for tue benefit of their own party. In the meantime, however, some of our Irish people are doing a great deal to fan the flame ol prejudice against them. Effigies of Governor Hoffman are found swinging in different parts of the city and Brooklyn every morning, and are cut down by the police. Demagogues like Meany are call? ing meetings and making the wildest Incendi? ary speeches. 'In soma quarters the news _ dealers are afraid to keep certain newspapers I on sale for fear of being mobbed. A gentle? man who was seen reading the Sun in a Belt Line car tho other day was threatened with violence until he flung the obnoxious sheet away. Some of the Irish weekly papers are very excited. The Irish People ol this week threatens the Harpers with the mobbing ot their buildings. The last number ot Harpers Weekly contained some very silly and unjust -caricatures on the Irish people, and the latter are, aa might be expected, greatly exasperat? ed. If this- bigoted and always unfair Mr: George William- Cartis, of the- Weekly, con? tinues to employ tho pencil of Nast In this busi? ness, there may be another riot In Cliff street to be put down. Cotton pilfering has grown to be such an ex pensive nuisance that the members ot the Cot? ton Exchange are casting abont for some means to protect their property. Ic ls said that gangs of thieves lollow nearly every dray load 1 rom the vessel to the place of stor? age, seeking fora chance to make a grao. Even when the bales are stored they are not safe from the Angeling o? warehousemen and laborers employed on the premises. The losses to merchants and planters certainly must amount to thousands of dollars annually. As a remedy, it has been proposed to lease some large building near the docks, which shall be un? der the exclusive care of trustworthy men in the pay of the Cotton Exchange. The most eligible site yet suggested is on the Brooklyn aide of the East River. A committee appointed -by the board a lew'days ago visited the extensive Srounds belonging to ex-Congressman Strana an. on the Atlantic docks, Brooklyn, Just be? hind Governor's Island. A space covering seven acres, with a pier In front 1800 feet long, was offered to the board for the erection of a building, or a large ware? house covering two and a half acres, and having a storage capacity of 100,000 bales, conld be iiad. The committee expressed themselves favorable to the latter proposition There seems to. be little doubt that the cotton brokers will eventually select some spot in the lower part of Brooklyn for a warehouse, and that afterwards all vessels laden with cotton will discharge In Brooklyn instead of New York. The directors ofsjthe viaduct railway have listened to the appeal ot the down-town mer? chants, anti consented to build a branch road from the Battery, at the Sonth Ferry, to the terminus o? the main trunk at the City Hall Park. This will make a complete connection between the two ends of the Island, and afford South Brooklyn facilities for using the railway. Another branch to the foot of Cortland street, where the New Jersey ferry boats land, would Eut the viaduct In connection with the grow ig suburb of Jersey City. The estimated cost of the road ls $50,000,000. Tue engineers calcu? late that the annual running expenses will be $8,500,000 for the two branches, and the re? ceipts $19,000,000, of which $13,000.000 will be from passenger fares, over 55,000,000 from freight, and the remainder from rents of the spaces under the rail way, which wilt be let for bjfelness purposes. It these estimates are veri? fied the stockholders will nave made a very profitable investment. But there are croakers about who are predicting the failure o? the great scheme as a paying business. They in? sist that the cost of the property which the company proposes to take has been enor? mously under-estimated and that the passen? ger travel has been correspondingly over-esti? mated. Km. SERENADING JUDGE . CARPENTER.-The Co? lumbia Phoenix, of yesterday, says: "Hon. R. B. Carpenter arrived In Columbia ou Friday last, and occupied quarters at the Columbia Hotel.- He bas been waited upon by a num? ber of our principal citizens, and lost night, was complimented by a serenade by the Fire? men's Band. After repeated calls, Judge C. made his appearance, and was cordially greet? ed. He delivered a short and pithy adress, which was warmly received by his numerous bearers. Alter giving an outline of his evi? dence before the Ka-Klux committee in Washington, he gave the substance of a con? versation between himself and General Grant's factotum. Senator Morton-the iatter gentle? man having Inlormed the Judge that he had been 'read out' ot the Republican party, be? cause he ran against 'the party' In South Carolina. 'Well,'said the Judge, if'running on an honest ticket ia contrary to Republican principles, lam perfectly willing not only to be read out, but to remain out." THE CROPS IN UNION.-The Times says: "Corn ts suffering badly. In many places lt ls ^almost beyond hope of making more than half ?j&crop. Cotton also is beginning to show the disastrous effects of the drought. The late rains of the spring prevented many who had over-cropped themselves from cleaning their cotton ?rom grass until some time siter thc ?ry weather set in, and In sucn cases the mop ls Battering most, A rain in a lew days will save the crop and give the planters'generally a fair yield." ?

It is thought that the directors will choose au intermediate route between the two Unesco! survey. A SEO BO RIOT AT OOLDSBOBO'. WrunxoTON, Jury 29. A bloody riot occurred at Goidsboro' to-day. About 5000 negroes arrived there from New bern and the lower counties on an excursion train, chartered by the Republican State exec? utive committee, to attend a mass meeting, at which Congressman Thomas, -ex-Senator Ab? bott, Marcus Erwin and R. C. Badger were to be the speakers. There were few white peo? ple in town. Many of the negroes came intox? icated. The police arrested one turbulent neyro, and while on the way to the guard? house with this prisoner, the negroes ral? lied cud rescued -him'. The colored police ? fired at the prisoner, who was recaptured and taken by the police to the Ex? change Hotel. About one thousand of the negro mob, with clubs and pistols, rallied to the hotel, attempting another rescue. The riot commenced by the negroes throwing brickbats at the police, and using clubs, when a cross firing began between the police and mob. The white oeople forbore, but are now armed for the emergency. There is, great ex-1 citement. About thirty or more shots were j fired; three or more whites were, hurt, one negro killed, and one colored policeman killed and two wounded. A committee or citizens, appointed by Mayor Robinson, waited upon the Rei ublican leaders and Mr. Stanley, pre"', dent of the A. and N.e.

A seml-ol ricial report ol the committee, published lu the Star, gives a terrible condition of affairs in South Carolina.

ING MA YOB. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed, that he bas grown so-saucy. 'A writer in The Republican has given to the public two of his lucubrations upon the sub? ject of the present canvass, in one of which he extols the merits of Mr. Pillsbury, and tells the people of this section of the. many obliga? tions they are under to the Hon. Henry Wil? son, United States senator from Massachu? setts. In the article published iu Saturday's Repub? lican, which is "particularly commended" by the editor of that paper "to the class represented by THE CHARLESTON NEWS," the writer, under? takes to arraign both THE NEWS and the Courier for the use of "good sound, sq?arc fiction" in their efforts to secure the election of General Wagener. Who is this scribbler, who puts himself forward to enlighten the good people of thia city, and who talks glibly of the "low coarse diatribes which these editors dish up daily for the edification oT 'uelr readers?" Who Is he who speaks of hungry beagles," "this wretch? ed crew," -'canting hypocrites," ?fcc, Ac, and, who further undertakes to tell us of what was done during "the early days of Bishop Eng? land^ when they used their money and their power to crush him and drive "Popery out of Charleston?" Now, what does the man mean ? What is "good, sound, square fiction," and what does be know of the early days of Bishop England ? This second Daniel cometo Judgment could not have been born when that learned prelate came first to this city, and must have been a boy when he died. He could know nothing ol his own knowledge of those days when the "pack of hungry beagles"-"those canting hypocrites"-used their "money and their power to crush htm,:aud drive "Fopery" out of Charleston, and ii rte did not and could not know for himself, from whom hos he derived the materials from which he has drawn so untrue a picture of those days ? Bishop'England, when he came to Charles? ton, was comparatively a young mau. He was the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Charleston, and ho cime with a reputation for great learn? ing and piety, which he richly deserved. He preached to large congregations, and the Church of St. Mary's and the Cathedral of St. Finbar's (a wooden structure nearly upon the site of tlie ruins of the present cathedral) were erowd id by Protestants to hear the fervid ?lo? quence of. this eminent scholar and divine. But wo venture to assert that there never was an attempt to crush him, nor to drive Popery out of Charleston. Bishop England enjoyed the respect, esteem and affection of a large portion of the Protestant population of this city, and died universally regretted. Ihe attempt to use the name of tills distin? guished prelate to create prejudice against a portion of onr citizens will be futile, will meet with the contempt of Catholics and Protestants ?like. The fling at those he calls 1 our South? ern friends," "who'would before the late civil ivar as soon cut off their right arms as to even think of electing au Irish Catholic to any office of honor or trustju this city," and that also at former slave-owner*, deserve some notice. And we are again disposed to ask, Who ls this mau who undertakes to lecture the citi? zens ot Charleston in Ibis way? It he had lived here more than a few years, he must have known that Irish Catholics were mem? bers of the City Council; were commissioners In the several public boards of the city, and members of ihe Legislature, and that they constantly held offices of honor and trust Borne of our most esteemed Irish citizens were large slaveowners. Before he concludes the article he desires to tell "those East Bay Journalists, and their Shylock friends In Broad street," that he will not vote for one man on their Citizens' ticket. What a loss to the Citizens' candidates ! Th ;y will, however, survive it. Ho further asks per? mission "to distinctly state that he ls not au? thorized and does not presume to speak for the Irish voters ol this city." What modesty ! We, however, hope that some of the Irish voters will speak for him, and vouchsafe to tell us who and what this interested libeller ls -how long he has been here, what his Influ? ence ls with the Irish voters of this city, and to what high office does his ambition lead him to aspire.

The commissioner of internal revenue is having refunded the cotton tax collected on rope and bagging known as the tare, which amounts to from fifteen to twenty pounds on each bale. The amount of cotton tax collected by the government was about $80,000,000, and of this amount about 13,000,000 is the rope and bagging, or tare tax, which Is now being re? funded under section 44 of the act of Congress approved June 30th, 18G4. lu all claims of this kind the certificate of the collector of Internal revenue ls required. AFFAIRS IN MEXICO. Crrr OF MEXICO, July 18, VIA MATAMORAS. The United States Consul says that notwith? standing the strong editorials of the Siglo Diaz y Neuve and others, no revolution is ex? pected.

The last are permitted to go to Arizona, the government giving them transportation, agricultural and mining tools, tents, arms and subsistence for six months. The Times, in an editorial, oh the New York riot, says, in reference to the procession of Orangemen, that Governor Hoffman incur? red horrid responsibility in permitting it to take place and promising lt protection. "The State," says the Times, "ought to Interfere with parades of both Orangemen and Rlbbon men. It should not encourage antagonism, and should bring all persons to recognize its rule of dealing equally with the national feel? ings and prejudices of all." PARIS, July ?9. It is expected the prolongation of Thiers's powers as chief executive will be voted by the Assembly next week. The decrees of the 6th and 19th of Septem? ber, 1870, levying an Import duty of three francs sixty centimes on each bale of cotton have been abrogated, and lt ls thought the Minister of Finance, Ponyer Quertier, has concluded to abandon the proposed duties up? on raw material. A majority of the committee of the As? sembly are reported to be in favor of an la- . some tax.

TUE PRESIDENT'S MOVEMENTS. Loso BRANCH, July 29. The President and family will remain here through" the.season.

They nre determined that the enterprise shall succeed, and will work with energy to accomplish that result. THE FINANCIAL SOUNDNESS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. [From the New York Finaoclal Record, July 26.] The New York Herald, bf yesterday, pub? lished a "squib" irom the Evening Telegram respecting South Carolina bonds, calculated to mislead the public. The bonds alluded to were Incorporated in the annual statement of the State indebtedness, and were Issued under an act approved March 27,1869. The entire issue authorized and issued is only $200,000, and have been kept by the treasury for hypotheca? tion only. If any have appeared on the street lt has been accidental, and without intention of sale. They ought to be accepted as a good deliv? ery for new July bonds, as they do not represent any Increase of indebtedness, and the author? ity for the issue of said bonds is not question? ed. It may be remembered that at the last convention of taxpayers It was ascertained that the existing Indebtedness of the Slate amounted In the aggregate to only about eight millions of dollars, and that the interest should be provided for by taxation os well as the principal, without defalcation, and repudiation was scouted as an idea not to be entertained. At the same time, however, lt was distinctly declared that under no pretence whatever should Ute credit of the State be extended, thus giving most positive assurauce of their ability and desire to restore the credit of the State, and thu3 rank with Georgia or even with the best of the Northern Slates. It should not be forgotten that the debt ol the State is gradually being reduced; that during the year 1870 over $300,000 maturing bonds were returned, and on the 1st of the present month about $200,000 more maturing bonds were paid off. It ls simply infamous to attempt to dis? credit a State that 1ms religiously met every engagement promptly, and a community who are endeavoring to recover the losses of an in? ternecine war. We too often forget that the great wealth of the South consisted in Us slave Bj stem. This organization was removed by an Inevitable edict, und the whole property, lands and hereditaments became valueless. Some of the States with small Indebtedness accepted the situation, and had the power to achieve success. Such is South Carolina. UP IN* A BALLOON AND DOWN IN A CHIMNEY. Professor Webster made an ascension irom the Horticultural Garden, in Nashville, Tenn., with his balloon, the Hercules. Sunday eve? ning. After ascending to an altitude of three thousand feet, the balloon began to des-end rapidly, and struck upon the smoke stack ot the Nashville cotton factory. Here the balloon collapsed and fell to the ground, leaving Web? ster, and his wickerwork bask?t, on the stack. Alter surveying bis position, he cast the bos? ket away, and finally descended through the interior of the stack, coming out safely, but black with soot. -The Asiatic crowds upon the African in Louisiana, which State will-soon have a large Chinese population.

WASHINGTON ITEMS. WASHINGTON,. July 30. Plea? au ton decides that borrowed capital employed by bankers ia no longer subject to taxation.
