There are alive to-day only nine Cardinals who were pre sented with their hats by his predecessor, Gregory, and the youngest of these ls 75 years of.age. Twenty-two bats, an unusually large number, are just now vacant; and the mem? bers of toe Cardinalate now at Borne and be? longing to the Curia are only twenty-eight In J number, of whom three or four are reduced more or less to a state of Inactivity by age or sickness.' ll -The London Times makes the following announcement : "His Imperial Majesty the i Emperor of Germany has been pleased to con-1 < fer on 'Mr. William Howard Bussell, LL. D., 3 the 'iron cross' of the -second class,' with the < white riband, in recognition ol his services, when attached to the headquarters of the Grown Prince, in recording the history of the : war as our special correspondent. Count 1 Berns torn" conveyed to Mr. Bussell the cross, and the expression of his imperial master's pleasure In a very flattering letter; but, al? though Mr, Russell is not in the service of the crown, ho must have her Majesty's per? mission to wear1 the order, as weil as th? war medal, which is the correlative of the Iron cross." -The following story ls told concernlog the celebrated Koh-i-noor captured In India : 'The j Koh-i-noor was obtained In this cheap way : In j 1849, that well known diamond became part I : ol the spoil of the Anglo-Indian army, on the conquest- and annexation of the Punjaub, and being then estimated at %\,25O,O00, there was great Joy over such a prize. Without consult? ing the army, Lord Gough and Charles Napier, chiefs in command, audaciously presented the great diamond to Queen Victoria, in the name ol the .combatants. It was not the general's right to rob the army by bestowing the great? est of its spoils of war upon the Queen, nor ought she to have accepted lt without seeing that the soldiers had been paid for IL From that time the Indian army have not received a Bhilllng for their capture of the Koh-i-noor, and Victoria has retained the gem as her own personal property, instead of placing lt among the crown jewels belonging to the British na? tion." -There Is in Albany, New York, a manufac? tory that Is, ss yet, the only one of its kind in the world. The article manufactured is W? llard-balls, and the material used ls not ivory, nor any other kind of osseous material, nor what ls commonly called "vegetable ivory," although lt might well claim the latter name, bei ag, in met, cotton fibre. This, when sub? mitted to hydraulic pressure, becomes as solid os stone and as elastic as metal, and possesses* many advantages over natural ivory. The ivory ball ls liable to warp, and so becomes uncertain in its movement, which can only be corrected by returning it, which reduces its size. It will also crack and very soon gets dis? colored, while the cotton-Ivory bail is of stan? dard weight, equal thickness, absolute hard? ness, and its color permeates the whole ball, and is not easily changed by usage or expo? sure. Asiatic hemp has also been used, in? stead of cotton, and with an equally satisfac? tory result. This new manufacture has met with great success, and found a ready market in the Pacific States, the Mississippi Valley, New Orleans and Texas, and is gradually work? ing Its way nearer home, where lt will doubt? less soon, to a great extent, replace the lees -durable and more coBtly ivory balls that have been in use ever since billiards were first in? vented, v -The Birmingham 'England) Gazette gives the following account of the adventures ol an Englishman who declined to pay an income tax : A man already assessed left Nottingham and went to Birmingham, leaving ?5 of income tax unpaid. He was followed to Birmingham and requested to pay up his arrears. He dis? regarded the notice served upon him. What is more be stnek them in his office and anno? tated them satirically. At last he was inform? ed lo red letters that If he did net pay he would be "proceeded against." Being a man of nerve he took no notice of the threat. Then, in the course of a month or. two he received a hage foolscap letter-written, not lithograph? ed-from Somerset House, asking the grounds on which he declined to pay. He replied, after a'week or two, that he had not the money. Two or three months afterward he was told that this was not>a reason of which - Her Majesty's Commissioners could take cogni? zance." He failed to see this, and " Her Majesty's Commissioners " spent tully ten months in arguing the point - still in writing. At last 11 Her Majesty's Com? missioners" became peremptory. They wrote, through their secretary, that they declined to argue any further ; the mo? ney must be paid. The defaulter replied that he "was not accustomed, as a gen? tleman, to peremptory letters of this kind," and that he should, therefore, "decline to hold any further correspondence with the depart? ment." Well, the matter went on for five years, and during the whole of this time the ppccant persoa never paid a farthing of in? come tax. His ar 3wer to all applications was that he was "in correspondence with the de? partment." At last a warrant was issued and entrusted to the sheriff of the district for exe? cution. The defaulter being In lodgings, the sheriff's officer concluded it would be of no use to distrain, so he took the defaulter's body. This was Liega!. An officer has no right to take the body of an Income tax defaulter until he has distrained and finds the proceeds of the distraint insufficient to meet the demands. The result was that the defaulter commenced an action for false imprisonment against the officer, and did not withdraw lt until the sher? iff had paid the amount due on account of the tax and costs, as well os a small douceur, which sufficed to pay tte expenses incurred by the defaulter in giving a dinner to a few friends to celebrate the event. Parties atna the People? The political sky'ls serene. For some months there should be a cessation of the party strife, which, during every important canvass, convulses the State, encouraging animosity and unfitting the public mind for a steady devotion to the practical business of life. Th ?3 may be nothing more than an armed truce. Again may the Radical lead? ers, as they have done for three years, fill the offices of the State, from high to low, with fellow-thieves or willing dupes. And yet something is already gained. There is a break in the lice. For the first time a koot of respectable Republicans have refused to be bound by party nominations, because the candidates were notoriously unworthy of any higher place than a cell in the State peniten? tiary. At the time of the Municipal election, a short ten days ago, they spoke out fearless!/, and the good words uttered in Charleston are, to our agreeable surprise, echoed back from Columbia. The Union, ol that - city, is no less candid than its Charleston contemporary, and in its issue of Friday la?t seeks to teach "a useful lesson'' to its dispirited party. It says : "So long as politics are managed in this way-for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many-there will be nothing but disas? ter to the party BO operating. The time has gone past when any man la good enough lor an office. The times demand good men and good measures, and these will be secured, even If lt cost the defeat of every political party. In the case now bet?re us the attempt was made to run politics into everything, even to school officers; and it was no", uulil the latest mo? ment, when compelled by force of public opin? ion, that any concessions were made to those who desired the best men for municipal offices, without regard to their political affiliations. We have repeatedly asserted our belief that it was impolitic and unwise to drag politics into local affairs. "It ls a matter of the smallest Importance to as whether the Mayor and Aldermen of this ;lty or the county officers are Democrats or Republicans, so that they manage the affairs entrusted to their care in the Interests ef all concerned. "These places should be filled by the best men without regard to party, and until this 1B done there will always be more dr less trouble with our local and city affairs. Other things being equal, we should always vote ior a Re? publican in preference to a Democrat ; but where principle ls not involved, we should prefer and would vote for a competent, intelli? gent Democrat, before we would for an igno? rant, incompetent Republican, white or black. While we candidly and honestly hold these opinions-and should circumstances demand would carry them out to the lullest letter-we are also quite confident that our Democratic friends, although they loudly preach this doc? trine to us, would find it very difficult to break from their party lines and support a Re? publican, lt he were ever BO competent and weil qualified for the position to which he might be nominated. Their doctrine ls that Democrats are always better fitted for public office than Republicans are, and yet we know many Democrats right here In this city for whom we would not vote under any circumstances. There are also many Republicans of the same stripe, who never would be elected to any kind ef an office by our vote or assistance. We Ignore such men, whether they belong to one party or to the other. But when it comes down to a question of ' principle, then we believe in supporting those who hold the same principles as we do. This question, however, seldom, if ever, enters into local affairs, and hence we say, support tho best men for all such offices. "Public officers are nothing more nor less than agents of the public, td whom is entrust? ed the management of public affairs. Why should not these officers be equally as intelli? gent and capable as those whom one would natfrai ly select to manage his private business 1 What would be thought of a business man who would go into the street and pick out the most ignorant, unlettered maa be could lind and entrust to him the management of a flourishing business, in which tens of thousands of dollars were involved ? Such a person would be ad Judged incompetent to take care of his own affairs, and would probably find himself the subject ol Judicial investigation, and finally bring up In a lunatic asylum. And yet this is JuBt what many politicians expect the public to do. Legislators and school and county officers should be the best men in the State; but unfortunately for ns such is not the case, at least lu this State." Apart from the gratuitous fling at "our Democratic friends," nothing can be fairer than this; no line cf polioy would moto surely bring parties to their true level as the exponents of opposing prin? ciples, giving to the Slate honest and capable officials whichever side was the win? ner. This is rational doctrine. The Con? servatives can bear defeat with good grace, if their successful antagonists are worthy of public confidence. And Radicals, as in the case iu Charleston, may almost rejoice in the success of the Conservatives, when that suc? cess gives to all the people an in?ditety bet? ter government than a Radical victory wouid have given them. Ia other words, it is the duty o? every political party to choose as its champions its purest and ablest men. The contest then can be raised above the doll plane oi^ personal criticism,^andrbe de? cided 'upon the broad questions of ^policy --which'Hiay properly'control the coursa ol a people. Thlstis theWital reform required to be accomplished In too many "of the.States of the Union. The first difficulty is clearly visible to the most short-sighted observer. There arc, in every Slate, men who make politics a trade. ! By politics they live. They are always in the Biog. Their voice, therefore, is potent in both caucus and convention. It is td their advantage to nominate persons who will play into their han els, and will allow them to increase their store. The mass of elec? tors, who come in at the last moment, are without organization. Candidates whom .they despise are foisted upon them, and, when election day comes, they are so blind or careless as to vote for rogues or imbeciles rather than run the risk of disintegrating their party. If the solidity of that party is bf more importance than the welfare of the State, they do well. But if the security, and prosperity of the people is the highest good, they are grievously and criminally wroo? And there is a way in which party leaders can be brought to their senses. They must be made lo understand that' the members of their party will not vote for the party candi? dates, if they are iuferior io brain or experi? ence or trustworthiness to the candidates of the opposition. Threats would, at first, be freely used. The recusants would be "read out" of the party, and be stigmatized as traitors. But they who vote for the worthiest candidates are paying allegiance to something higher and nobler than a party caucus. They are doing their duty to themselves and their fellow-citizens. Let the political wire-pullers once see that they cannot hold their supporters together, un? less they have candidates at least as good as those of their opponents, and, our word for it, there will soon be a noteworthy, change in the character and manner of party nomi? nations. And this we Bay for Conservatives as well BB for Radicals. It is a poor rule that does not work both ways. What we I advise in this matter for one party, we urge with equal earnestness upon the attention of the other. The Effect Upon Workingmen. A prominent Charleston contractor in? forms us that he bas .more than doubled his force of mechanics and laborers since the day of the Municipal election. The increased number-of whom two-thirds are colored men-are required to execute contracts which were given out as soon as the election of General Wagoner and the Conservative ticket was officially declared. This fact is an indication of the increased prosperity which all classes will enjoy when the new government is fairly under way. Already the city is throbbing with a life and activity which August heats and falling quo? tations for cotton cannot overcome. 'Anice tc all Bucle. A correspondent, of the Columbia i' ?on, about a week ago, sent that journal a horri? ble story of tho barbarous treatment of a white man named William Quinn by the Ku Klux Kiun. The Union improved the occa? sion after its usual style, but we confessed at the time our disposition to await further particulars before joining in the hue and cry against the so-called Democratic ruffians. This was'a very necessary precaution. The Union Times, in its last issue, Bays that Quinn is "a staunch Democrat, and that .'the cause of the outrage is a mystery to "all:" As hawks do not usually pick out hawks', eyes, we trust that the Union will recall what it may have said upon this occa? sion in denunciation of the Spartanburg Ku Klux. 1 funeral Notices.
