NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold closed In New York, yesterday, at 124al2|. i -Cotton closed dull and nominal; uplands 19jc; sales -910 bales. -The was a holiday in Liverpool, and con? sequently no cotton transactions. * -The crop of icebergs is very large thia season. Two, each ? half mlle long, are re? ported from St John's, and many others have been encountered further out at sea. -Letters just received irom Berlin, state that the celebrated tenor, Wachtel, is coming to the United States next autumn. He will leave In September. Next to Memana, this artiste ls Bald to be the finest tenor in ail Ger? many. -It ls stated that the Cherokee Indians in. Western North Carolina have filed a claim against the government ior all the lands lying between the Blue Bidge and the Cumberland mountains, and extending from Bristol south to Chattanooga. The grounds of the claim are that the chie?s.did hot sign the original treaty of cession. -Two hundred ready-made dwellings are to be shipped from Chicago to Colorado. They are to contain seven rooms each, with parti? tions, stairs, windows, sash and casing, roots, and trimmings ior doors and windows, com? plete, and can be placed In complete condi? tion for occupancy in two hours after being unloaded. -The directors of some of the principal railroads and telegraph lines have had a model of a galvanized iron pole submitted to them which combines the useful and ornamental. The new invention ls designed more especially for country lines, but has BO many advantages over the old wooden pole that managers of the leading city lines have decided to use IL Thc new pole Is constructed so that it can be packed section ?' within ' section, " telescope fashion, and can be ?hipped to distant points With great faculty, and at a moderate rate. For a pole Meen feet out of the ground, suit? able for a country line, the first section is three inches 'ip; diameter, the second section is two and a half, and the third ofte and a quarter. No lightning rode are required with the Iron pole*, Two of. the ne w-poles have been put np in Philadelphia'and tested by an electrician, who sayB that they always insure a perfect current, and strongly recommends them ior both city and country Unes. In Prussia and other parts Of Europe Iron telegraph poles are used ex? clusively. -A serious feminine complaint at Long. Branch, and at some other watering places this summer, 1B the noticeable lack of men at those resorts. Dancing men and flirting men are especially mourned. Judging from the lugubrious accounts sent to the journals from these vanity fairs of social Hie, nothing is more melancholy than to see squads of women sit? ting in long rows upon the piazzas, gazing at each other with critically-morose eyes, wrath- 1 folly noting the successive arrivals of other women, with vast trunks, and complacent smirks upon their faces, and all of them won? dering what has become ol the men. Borne enterprising purveyor o? humanity could per? haps do well It he would recruit a drove ol presentable young men, furnish" them with good clothes at his own expense, and send them down to the Branch on a matrimonial speculation, with the nnderstanding that those who might succeed in,making rich matches with some of the pining Mariannas ot these seaside localities would pay him a percentage on his expenditures. A plan of this kind would work as well as any other at Long Branch, where sham and snobbery too frequently drive decency to the wall, or rather to the palings. -The seoondyear is now running Its.course since the fiendish murder of Mr. Nathan, and the murderer 1B still at large. From some cause, which does not seem over-clear in the ' minds of the public, Wm. Forrester was singled out among a couple of score of other villains none too conscientious to be guilty of any crime-as the author of the deed. When it . became noised abroad that he was suspected knowing that, if caught, should he escape the gallows on this charge, he would stand a good chance of being handed over as a f igitiveirom justice in another State, he fled. Since that time the- sun bas failed to shine cu him two successive days In the same place. On the plains, in the mountains, in every disguise, he wandered about the.continent, constantly elud? ing the officers who wei e on his trail. Finally arriving at Galveston, he shipped on a vessel bound for England, and irom Liverpool he went directly to S?otland, the place of bis na? tivity. Officers have scoured Scotland and all the British domains, but have failed to secure Mm. About three months ago, Detective Pin? kerton arrived from Europe after his i ru i ties s search, and is now in Chicago. It is reported that officers in the old country have struck his trail, and may possibly secure him; yet lt will not be surprising to many If the Nathan mur? derer ls never found. -It is yet too early to speculate upon the Presidential election of next year, the fall campaigns affording the earliest reliable data for computation ef the relative strength of the tra parties; but the situation at the pres? ent time 1B highly encouraging for the Democ? racy. Counting the electoral vote of those States which are acknowledged to be Demo? cratic, and'of those lu which that party suc? ceeded at the last election, it appears that the Democratic candidate ls sure of 153 votes, or a minority of only Fix In the electoral college. But in this estimate we throw out Connecti? cut, New Jersey, Ohio, Penusylvanla, Texas and Nebraska as Republican; and, supposing that the emocracy holds its own in the States where it is now secure, the gain of any one of the six doubiiul States-with the ex? ception of Nebraska-is sufficient to elect its President. Connecticut and New Jersey are, in fact, Democratic, although now under Re publican rule, and the great States of Ohio and Pennsylvania have come to be considered debatable ground. While this showing is by nu rotan* d?crive of a Democratic victory, IL ia t?felest to demonstrate the Instability of the fiepubllcan party- The latter will be com* .inWtA oat only lo bold Its own, but to carry ali tb? ?uiM?ui ri latee In order to elect Its candl4ttt# -Tb* "LITY/H!*," Mr, aahbory's new yacht, ?%U.h .**mut *fV/n)y expect tow;? and hear v. itt AtwrtV-Mt w*t*r*, lu a renewed at tempt to carry back to England the lamons "cup," which the. schooner yacht .?America" brought over.from Cowes In the year 1851,1a at prese--.t the object of considerable discussion in the English, and especially the London press, as well as in the yachting circles on this side.. It was built In the yard of Mr. Ratsey, a lamons yacht builder, at Cowes, measures a little over 263 tons, (Royal Thames 7. C. mea-' s?rement,) and is 112 .feet 7 inches long on deck, from stem to st ern post. Her greatest breadth ci beam is 23 feet 7 inches, and and she- Arawa- 12J feet of water. From these measurements it will be seen that she has considerably less than five breadths In her length, In which respect, as well as in her showing but a low freeboard, Bhe presents a decided American appearance, as might have been expected, after the models which our yacht-builders have sent over to England. In consideration ol the general slape-full above and fine below the water line-and the fact that she carries only 70 tons o? ballast, she ought to be almost an ideal sea boat-buoyant, stiff, easy and handy. The masts are of Oregon pine, respectively 68 feet and 64 feet from deck to hounds, and her main boom, of the same wood, is 7H feet long. She is commanded on the present voy? age by Mr. Woods, late master of the "Ego ris," who pronounces her a much faster and better boat in every respect than the "Cam? bria," which was defeated by several yachts ot the Kew York club at the great rac-;, about A Word About Treasurer Parker, F The Taxpayers' Convention, which met in Columbia last May, appointed a committee, consisting of Messrs. Edwin J. Scott and William Wallace, of Columbia, and Colonel Richard Lathers, of Charleston, to co-oper? ate with a committee previously appointed by the Legislature to examine the books and accounts of the disbursing officers of the State. Assurances were given that the committee of taxpayers would be given all proper facilities for the discharge of their duties, and, under this impression, the Con? vention adjourned. Comptroller-General Neagle consented without hesitation to an investigation of bis accounts, bnt Mr. Niles 6. Parker, the State Treasurer, flatly de? clined to allow the committee to have-access to bis books, declaring that they had been examined enough, and that the proposed examination was wholly unauthorized. This tort talking excited some indignation, if it caused little surprise, and Mr. Edwin J. Scott, the chairman of the committee ap? pointed by the Taxpayers' ConventiOB, has addressed a letter to Mr. Parker, in which the Treasurer's conduct is displayed in a rather blue light. Mr. Scott quotes the proceedings ol the Convention to show that there were serious, discrepancies in the accounts of the Treas? urer. Most of these were afterward ad? justed, but a difference of S199J49 was still unaccounted for. This m?delt advisable, in justice to the State officers, that a thorough overhauling of their accounts be had; the more-especially as the proposed inquiry would "test the sincerity of those "who have the authority for investigation." The committee were appointed and ten? dered their services to the Legislative Com? mittee, with an offer to act directly with them. The Legislative Committee declined the offer, for the reason that tbeir work was too far advanced for the new committee to go on with them, unless the whole field were reviewed from the beginning. The committee, however, authorized the Tax? payers' Committee to make a separate ex amioatinn, and u^rerrcil ?.Lie UpltllOU U1UU the last named committee would have the same facilities "for a full and complete in? vestigation of the nonetary affairs of the "State" which were accorded the Legisla? tive Committee. Ic is evident, therefore, that the Taxpayers' Committee had ample authority for the work which they proposed to undertake. A convention representing the taxpayers of the Whole State, an inves? tigating committee appointed by the Legis? lature, and Governor Scott himself author? ized the examination ; but Mr. Parker calls it, nevertheless, a piece of "unparalleled "presumption" to ask for an investigation of the affairs of bis office. That office needs a thorough examination. Even the Legis, lature have admitted that this must be done. That partisan body, by appointing the in? vestigating committee, declared that month? ly reports and annual reports were not enough, and were not - sufficient to satisfy them that the work of the Treason- was faithfully and honestly done. Mr. Treasurer Parker is, to the best of our knowledge, the only State officer who refuses to allow hiB books to be examined. Three years ago, be was little better than a beggar. When elected State Treasurer, he was in the depth of destitution. Now he drives fast horses in gold-mounted harness, buys fifteen-thousand-dollar diamond pins, and has the reputation of being worth a cool quarter of a million. All this in three years upon an annual salary of twenty-five hundred dollars. These things are known, and, in connection with his recent conduct, have an ugly look. A thorough scrutiny of his accounts would have satisfied the peo? ple. They now consider that the State Treasurer justifies by his own unwarrantable behavior the worst opinion which has been formed of him. Big Words from Governor Scott. The following curious letter is printed in the last i8Sueof the Unionville Times : STATE OF SOOTH CAROLINA,) EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. \ COLUMBIA, July 19,1871. J Colonel Thomson, Commanding United States Tost at Union, S. C.: SIR-The enclosed will be handed to you by Simpson Giles, one of the commissioners of Union County, whom the Governor desires to be protected In his legal anti officials rights. He Wiehes it to be Intimated to those who ?would violate either of these, that the flrat reliable notice of their success in doing 60 may lead to the establishment of martial law In Union County. Very respectfully, (Signed) JNO. HEART, Private Secretary. We are assured by the Times that Giles is in ho danger, and will not be molested by the white people of Union. It is believed, however, that the Radicals will (ind some pretext for putting the county under martial law, and will manufacture the necessary quantity of provocation, if they cannot get lt ready made. -The civil officera o? the county are able to take care of Giles. Why is not application made to them ? Besides, things are greatly changed since Eandolph fell. Governor Holden's lambB gave North Carolina to the a year ago. Democracy, and the brutal J?eftAYior, o?

Thc Cotton Prospect. The New York World, in a recent issue, -editorially reviews the present aspect of the cotton market. All the would-be commer? cial oracles outside the Cotton States are strongly inclined to take the bear side in their views regarding the great Southern staple,' a?d the World is no exception to the rule. It joins the ranks of those who are constantly advancing arguments to de? press the. market, and who hope, and per? haps believe, that the price of cotton will yet settle down to its ante-bellum level. This expectation is hardly destined to be realized. Cotton may be depressed at times, but. with the altered condition of things at the South, it canDOt be kept down. High prices must be the rule, and low prices the exception, for many years to come. We reproduce, however, the views of the World, because of the two important admissions which they contain-first, that prices had fallen too low duriDg the past season, and, secondly, that the surplus at the end of the present must, by the World's own figures, be reduced about 1,100.000 bales. [From the New York World.] "A few weekB ago there was great excite? ment in the cotton market, attended by an ad? vance In price of six cents per pound. A great part of the advance then and all of the excitement were due to the reports of reduced planting, and injury to the crop by protracted bad weather. Every point unfavorable to future supply irom the crop of 1671 was gross? ly exaggerated. Speculative opinions and rash statements of individuals were doubly fortified and supported by unwarranted and absurd statements from* the agricultural bureau at Washington, which, in England, were ignorantly supposed to have some value. "One month of warm, dry, favorable weath? er has passed, and behold what a change. 'Cotton has no friends,' is tho expressive phrase in the market. Prices have lallen about two cents, without reviving faith; the decline has rather Increased the tendency to lurther depression. The crop story from every quar? ter comes better and better, as If .the writere, repentant ot lolly, would cause its expression to be forgotten. Low estimates of the crop appear no more, and the making of estimates has ceased, as ii everybody at last had come to Bee that they serve no other purpose but to exhibit the fatuity of their makers. Yet there are some apposite facts of the past and present that may be usefully considered. The cotton .crop of 1870 was very large, unex? pectedly so to the extent of 500,000 to 700,000 boles, because of the unparalleled maturing season. The production of other countries was up to its usual average. The great and sudden excess In supply depressed the mar? ket value ol cotton in the spring to a range only about 8 per cent, higher in fcold than the average rylee at the same period In the three years preceding the war. All other articles of trade and manufacture (except wool, a kindred article) bore values 15 to 60 per cent, higher than in 1858-60. Colton had fallen too low. It was fairly entitled to an advance of l?d. or 3 cents in gold, to place it upon a level with other commodities, irrespective oi any reduc? tion of supply, or any further increase of con? sumption, as compared with the quantities ol 1870-1. About one-half the advance in May and June was then legitimate, (only too early and too rapid,) even with a favorable report ?{. lh? avADlnv ANW - ..- ? --- - "England has had one year of remarkably good business in all branches of her cotton trade. It has been good enough to start new spindles for the ensuing year. England does not set up new spindles, except to replace old ones, in years of unprofitable and 'disastrous' business like that which markeri the years 1864 to 1869, and they are not well informed who talk and write of the great increase in Britten cotton spindles in those bad years. Now it is changed. The impetus of profit is given as in 1857 to 1661, and the increase for the work of 1871-2 may well be large. On the Continent the restraint of war is ended. Spindles lately idle are in motion again, and new ones are building, under the powerful Incentive of profits, which, good when cotton was worth 12d., have become very good with cotton at Sd.; and the reduction In price of cotton, shared in the reduced price of cotton goods, has enlarged the market demand for those goods. "There is ample reason to suppose that, in the average of twelve months from the 1st of October next, there will be three and one-half to four millions more spindles in running order than in the twelve months preceding. The question will arise, will trade and consump? tion take off all the production of the spin? ning power so enlarged ? And most men, looking at the abundance and cheapness of money, and the ever-extending areas of trade, will answer, yes, if not prevented by enhanced prices. "If BO much be true, then the world wants for the next year four hundred thousand to five hundred thousand.bales of colton more than was required for the current year. "Whence ls it to come ? Should the rest of ? the world keep its supply up to that of 1870-1 our crop would need to be not only 4,300,000 bales again, but as much more as the Increase in consumption, or else the surplus at the end of next year must be reduced by whatever our crop falls of that increase. We hazard no estimates of growing crops, but we remember that the extraordinary yield from the large, planting of 1870 was, to the extent of half a million bales at least, due to such a season as may not be repeated for many years. We know that the early start of thia crop was under conditions which, though grossly exaggerated, were yet unfavorable. It is for every one to discount from last year's production so much as to him seems good in arriving at a proba? bility for this year. If the crop falls off 600, 000 bales-that is, if it turns out to be 3,700, 000 bales-and the consumption in the world shall be 500,000 bates more than this year's, then it follows surely that the surplus at the end of this year will be reduced by 1,100,000 bales at the end of next year. How much would that leave to go into the next year with ? "Of course any statistical problem of this sort is subject to the perturbations of price of cotton and of goods, stimulating or restrain? ing action, and, therefore, the end must be indefinite. But to merchants and manufac? turers there is matter worth thinking ol' in the Important facts that we present, and the suggestions that they carry."
