' -Gold at New York, yesterday, closed at Uglis?. -The New York cotton market showed a fair demand, but weak; uplands I9|c; sales 2817 bales. -At Liverpool cotton closed heavy at 8{d lor uplands and 9fd for Orleans, with sales of 10,000 bales. -Citizens of the United States, before going abroad, should obtain their passports from the Department of State. No fees are now charged for them. Naturalized citizens should Bend their naturalization papers with their applications. -The Davenport, Iowa, printers seized a circus and menagerie the other day for not paying its biUsr and now each editor ls the nappy owner ot a Swineouphalus, or Giasticu tOB, or a Hippopotatiemise, or an Alaskan Sea Lion. When subscribers rage and a man comes in and wants to know "who wrote that article," the editor unchains his menagerie, and the 'insulted fellow has a Budden call to "see a man" elsewhere. -If M. Thiers be reported correctly, the purpose of the French Government seems to be to judge the prominent Commun let prison' era in advance.- He is said to have remarked a few days since, when asked to show indul? gence to these men, "Certainly, for the ob? scure, the weak, the* erring ignorent; but for the leaders we have been and shall be pitiless." M. Thiers appears .to iorget that "pitiless" ex? presses the conduct of the Versailles troops towards the Communists of all ranks and of all degrees of IntelUgence. -A Cuban gentleman farming in Fauquler Cona ty, Virginia, Informs fte Lynchburg Re? publican that he has a plan on ?pot, and, he . believes, in process of successful execution, for "the Introduction of a considerable num? ber of Cuban families Into Fauquier County. The proposed immigrants are, for the most part, of the best social class of that island. The Cubans, according to Hr. Casanova, are tired of living under the bane of Spanish des? potism. They have money, industry, and, what is perhaps eequalry Important, they are not divided from us by political gape nor dif? ferences of political faith. -The challenge'cup offered by Ur. Bennett, ot the New York Herald, to the winning yacht ot the ocean race, which ls to take place this month, from the lightship off Newport to Sandy Hook lightship and return, ls on exhibition in New York. It ls shaped like an urn, and stands on an ebony pedestal, with corresponding panels of frosted silver In front and rear, con? nected by a miniature chain of sliver. It weighs three hundred ounces, is twenty-three Inches in height, and cost between $1800 and $2000. A gold medal accompanying the prize bears the following Inscription: "Ocean Chal? lenge Cup-Lightship' off Newport lo Sandy Hook Lightship and back." -The sixth annual report of the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company proves that the negroes are not badly off at the South. In tho thirty-two branches of that institution now existing in the Southern States the total bal? ance due depositors at the end of the fiscal year was $2,455,83611. The total in 1866, when most of the branches were In operation, was only $199,283 42. The freedmen not being by instinct or education a thrifty race, these figures must be taken to imply a pretty healthy financial condition of such of that class as are willing to work. Nothing ls further from the truth than stories of freezing out negroes from the South, under-paying them and cheating them, the fact being that In many Slates they are almost masters of the situation, can every? where get good wages for every hour's labor that they wlU perform, and sp far from being, oppressed, eojoy a state of things which the white workers In many other parts of the world might envy. -A movement ls being set on foot in Eng? land for the better protection of ocean navi? gation between America and Europe. The risk of colUsion ls becoming greater and greater with the yearly increase of traffic, and j the proposed plan, lt ls thought, wUl diminish this risk infinitely. It ls suggested that two j parallel bands or zones be laid down, eacb sixty miles In width, the northern zone to be followed by western bound and the southern ?by eastern bound steamers; the zones, more? over, to be separated by an intermediate divi? sion of thirty mUes. The northern edge of the northern zone will graze the southern end of Newfoundland Banks, thus obviating the dan? gers of running down fishing-smacks and en? countering Icebergs. Sailing vessels, lt ls in- j tended, are to keep clear of this tract of water -entirely. The project has the additional rec? ? ommendation of advantageous currents in both directions, and would seem both feasible and advisable on grounds not only of economy but humanity. It ls urged by several expe? rienced commanders, and is exciting a very general and favorable discussion among the London Board of Trade and merchants. -The Chicago Republican teUs a hitherto-un? told Btory. of Alice Cary's first and only love. ItsayB that when the Cary sisters madel heir first pilgrimage to the East, Rufus Wilmot Griswold was among their earliest acquaint? ances. This gentleman was a prominent litterateur when men of letters were less numerous in' New York than at present, and materially assisted the Bisters to obtain a foot? hold in the metropolitan literary circles. Toward. Alice he more especially inclined. Their first acquaintance ripened Into friend? ship, friendship into Intimacy, and intimacy Into love. Il was said at last that the parlies were solemnly affianced. But the course ol the poetess' true love did not run Bmooth, for Griswold proved fickle, and deserted her for another. The engagement was broken, and Alice, concealing her sorrows, kept herself more closely at home, and turned her atten? tion more assiduously to her labors. Alter the lapse of several years, Griswold lay dying in poverty and almost friendless, in the heart of the metropolis. But his bedside was at? tended by a friendly presence, his wants sup? plied, with a tender care, and his dying pillow smoothed by a gentle hand; it was the hand of Alice Cary. She had forgiven and forgotten all,' and remained true to the old love. ' Sub? stantially the same story might be told ot many another disappointed but faithful woman doubtless. -The following highly interesting revela? tions have been made by one of the members of the last Imperial Cabinet of France: "A let ter of the Empresa Eugenie to the Czar, which has just been publbhed in the Paris journals, "alludes to a friendly power which "had express? ed a desire to intervene in favor of France after the surrender of Sedan. That power was Russia. The Emperor Alexander sent a dis? patch to the Empress Regent immediately after the surrender of Sedan, offering to intervene on the basis of the integrity of French territo? ry. Alexander II, la the same dispatch, in? formed the Empress that he had earnestly-re? commended to the King of Prussia to open negotiations for peace, and not to insist on the cession of French territory, as the disinte? gration of France would be dangerous to the peace of Europe. The prospect of Russian intervention was, however, spoiled by the outbreak of the revolution on September 4th, and the flight of the Empress, which took place a few hours after the dispatch bad been received from the Emperor Alexander. On hearing the news that the Republic had been proclaimed the Emperor Alexander with, drew his proffered intervention, ?nd notified the King of Prussia thal Russia would remain neutral. Jules Favre and all the former mem? bers of the government of September 4 anew of the existence of this dispatch. It is said to have been found after the flight of the Em? press among the secret papers of the Empire, but withheld publication by the Government of National Defence. TheBe revelations are apparently to be made public with the consent of the Empress Eugenie. The Republicans, chiefly Jules Favre and his former colleague*, will probably deny the proposed iatervention of the Czar; but the truth of the facts related can be completely established." Home Rule for Ireland. The English-Ministers are s apposed to have tried very hard to make Ireland peace? ful and contented. They would have suc? ceeded better if they had been in accord with the people for whom they attempt to legislate. Their miserable "Btamping out'' policy only increased the difficulty. Coax? ing must be tried where brute force had failed. Notoriously against the wishes of a powerful section of their supporters, the Cabinet, therefore, under the leadership of Mr. Gladstone, accomplished the dis-estab? lishment of the Irish Church, and effected a change in the laws regulating the tenure of land. These were appreciated at their full value. They were, as far as they went, measures of tardy justice; but they did not satisfy the natural wishes of the Irish people. ! It was then thought that a royal visit to Ire- j land might soften the Celtic heart, and that to make one of the English princelings'a Duke of Munster would cause the Green Isle to* boil over with loyal enthusiasm. The first part of the new programme is now car? ried ont. H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, and a .;,warm of nobles and attendants actu? ally went to Ireland, and the only result so j far is a terrible riot in which more than a hundred persons were injured. The cause of the trouble was a meeting held in Phoenix Park, not, as we understand it, ia advocacy of FerJanism, but to urge upon the govern? ment, at an auspicious moment, the grant? ing of an amnesty to all Fenian prisoners. No wonder that the people, in their passion, have gutted houses which the royal party visited. While a hundred families are plunger, in mourning, the Irishman wi.o i takes to his. heart and hearth the representa? tives of English dominion is naturally re? garded as'the enemy of his suffering fellow citizer?. It is plain that no half-measures will con? tent the Irish. They may be pinned down by bayonets for centuries; but they will never cease to struggle for home mle in Ire? land. They demand that Ireland be gov? erned by an Irish Parliament; that laws for Ireland shall be enacted by statesmen who are not strangers to her wants and desires ; that the revenue raised in Ireland-shall be expended for the benefit of Ireland, and not to keep up the pomp and state ol an Eng- j lish court. The fondest dream of all is the autonomy-the territorial independ? ence-of Ireland; but the sober thinkers will content themselves with a repeal of the legislative union with Great Britain. And this repeal, we firmly believe, will come at no distant day. England must take ber choice between a repeal of the Union, and chronic discontent coupled with sporadic in? surrection. The train of circumstances which led to the passage of the Irish i Church and Land bills, and which promises I to give the Ballot to the United Kingdom, will insure, soon or late, the freedom of Ireland. The Irish National party grows stronger every day. Mr. John Francis Maguire, the member for Cork, than whom there is no more weighty champion of the true interests of Ireland, avows himself a Federalist. It is his desire that the connection between Ireland and Eoglaud should be similar to that which existed before the war between South Carolina and the United States Gov? ernment During the debate on the Ballot Bili, Mr. Maguire, in the House of Commons, declared that, with the ballot or without it, a majority of the Irish members chosen at the next elections would be pledged to agi? tate and vote for a repeal of the Union. And he bas already given notice that, at the next session of Parliament, he will propose that "the representative assembly resolve it "self into a committee to take into conside? ration the expediency of instituting such "a federal arrangement between the diflfer "ent portions of the United Kingdom as "would enable- Ireland, through an Irish "Parliament, to legislate upon all matters of "purely Irish nature, while reserving to the "Imperial Parliament complete control over "all questions of au imperial character." This would be a tremendous gain to Ireland. It can hardly bo expected that the motten will prevail daring the coming session ; but, with the example of Land bills, Church bills and Ballot bills before us, who shall say that the cause of Home Rule for Ireland will long remain a mere legislative possibility. Now, after ages of disappointment and suf? fering, Hope -like the glimmering taper's light, adorns and cheers the'way of the chivalric Irish people. The Latest Fashion in Death-Poison. Ralph Waldo Emerson's pointed com? ment upon the law of averages, discovered by the statisticians^, "If one man in a million eats shoes**and "marries his grand? mother, in another millioD, one man will also eat Bboes and marry his grandmother." In other words, statistics prove not only that an average number of crimes and whimsical performances occur each year, bat the sanie, or nearly the s?mey^umber of the same kind of crimes will occur each .year^ Seeing this]va man asiwise, perhaps, as E?ereo?j gravely proposed that the gov? ernment should take the matter in hand, and.'harving ascertained the yearly average of crimes and casualties, should proceed, early in January of each year, to kiH ofl the requisite number of victime, to the end that the public should be put at ease, the law of averages justified, and that thenceforward during the ensuing twelve months the pub? lic should be free to go whither and do what? soever it pleased, with the certainty that in so going and doing no murder, no suicide, and no accident should occur. This, uo doubt, would be a pleasant way of getting through the year; but, unfortunate? ly, the prescription is not that of a physician, but of a druggist quack. The curious part about the matter is that there should be, as it were, ? fashion in crimes as iu clothes; or rather that crimes appear to beget similar crimes, and accidents are followed by like accidents. So much faith do engine-drivers and railroad men put in this law, if law it be, of sequences in accidents, that, on the occurrence of an explosion er a collision, they confidently expect aseries of collisions and explosions for weeks to come, and until the morbid force, so to speak, bas ex? pended itself. . It is easy to seo how this ex? pectation itself should become the fruitful source of recurrent casualties; but it is not so easy lo see why accidents of a different character, such sa kerosene explosions, should follow e:.:'u other in quick succession over wide areas and at places far apart from each other. Here is a field for ingenious speculation, to which we invite philoso? phers. With regard to the present death-fashion, the rage for poisoning in preference to all other modes of murder arjd of suicide, it is enough to point to the newspapers as them? selves the provocation of this mania. A certain amount of maniacal or criminal im? pulse is at all times present in definite though ill-defined areas of population. Too power? ful to be longer restrained, it breaks forth, as in the case of Mrs. Sherman.. The fact is blazoned through the land in all the pomp of display type, and all the excitation of sensational paragraphs. Reports vie with each other as to which shall excite the most horror and amazement Their inflammable descriptions of the murder by poison fall like sparks of fire upon minds already fully charged with the insane or criminal impulse; and to Mrs. Sherman is added Mrs. Wharton, and to Mrs. Wharton is added Mrs. Ash, of Savaonah, to Mrs. Ash is added Miss Laura Sparks, of Washington, D. C., and so the dreary list continues to ac? cumulate until the spell is broken by some superior crime or disaster, such as the late steamboat explosion in New York, or some new mode of suicide or murder, as that of the young lady, who lately roasted her lover to death, is introduced, and gives rise to another new death-fashion. In default of this new fashion, the chapter of accidents and crimea* runs its ordinary varied course, and is followed by a period of repose, which is, sooner or later, broken, and, when bro? ken, immediately and immense1; aggrava? ted by the sensationalism of the Northern newspapers. They are responsible for the aggravation if not for the inception of crimes, casualties and death-fashions which have become so proverbial of late years. The Democratic Victory In Kentucky. The Democrats carry the Slate of Ken? tucky by about 30,000 majority-rather less than the majority of last year, which was 33,203. As the Radicals in this canvass put forth all their strength, with the deter? mination of whittling down the Democratic vote to next door to nothing, the' result of the contest is . eminently gratifying. The officers elect ore : Preston H. Leslie, Gov? ernor; John G. Carlisle, Lieutenant-Gover? nor; John Rodman, Attorney-General; D. Howard Smith, Auditor; James W. Tate, Treasurer; H. A. M. Henderson, Super:a iDtendent of Public Instruction; J. Alexan? der Grant, Register of Land. Those "Ijessons of the Hom." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SEWS. We were very much struck on reading the editorial of the Republican of the 5th instant, headed "Another Lesson of the Hour," at the refreshing coolness with which it alludes to the pressure of public opinion which forced "the great many whites who had fully made up their minds to support Pillsbury In this election to bow their backbones like willows," and vote the blue ticket. Any one at a distance, on reading this article, would suppose that the white men of Charles-' ton bad been terribly cowed and crushed by public opinion, while every colored voter had been allowed to walk up, freely and fearlessly, and desposit his white or blue ticket, unmolest? ed and unterrified. Ii the editor ol the Republican intends re? cording with fairness and justice "the lessons of the hour," why does he not say something of the terrible pressure that was brought to bear upon every colored citizen who wished to vote for the Conservative ticket, a pressure not of public opinion, but of brute force, of clubs, of knives and of sticks; not merely a "threatening of tho business or social life," but ot actual and repeated attempts to take away the physical life. Why does he not tell the truth, and say that not a single colored man voted the Citizens' ticket who did not risk his limbs and his Hie by so doing? Why does he not acknowl? edge that unless the white citizens had closed their places of business, and remained at the polls all day, and by their presence and inter? ference, protected every man who wished to vote, hundreds ol colored men would have been forced either to vote against their wishes, or to run away from the^olls, as they did In 1SC8. We want the editor of the Republican to give us both sides of the story-Public opin? ion versus clubs and bullies. And now one word about the color of those tickets, and their effect in making men vote against their wishes. We were present at the counting of the bal? lots, and while we saw many a blue ticket wrapt in white paper tb dlegulse Its color, we never saw or heard, of there being a single ic7?i?e ticket covered with blue paper. In the early morning, before the Citizens' party printed a white ticket with their can? didates upon it, nearly every ticket deposited by the colored voters was white,. and when the ballots were being counted the Radical managers openly boasted that when they got to the bottom of the boxes every vote would be for. Pillsbury. Imagine their disappointment when every here and there among these white mc.nlng votes a blue one would be found, only covered with whit? to protect the voter. Let the Legislature, if it chooses, among its other wise acts, attempt to regulate the"- color of the ballots. r_ . ^ All we can say is that they will- afforci.more protection to the dnwn-troddenr colored vo? ters, and do more to save them from brok 3n heads and cowardly beatings from rowdy mobs than any other enactment they have ever passed. . JUSTICE. THE Camden Jeurnal advances the proposi? tion that there should now be a complete and thorough reorganization of the Democratic party in South Carolina, and that "a square out-and-out Democratic party fight" ls prefer? able to allowing the Radicals to. walk into power without trouble. These views are con? curred in by the Columbia Phoenix, which proposes to raise the fiag of industrial devel? opment-to open the gates of the State to'capi? tal and settlers-to fight against local corrup? tion and misrule-to make a straight fight ever on the political field.
