REWS OE THE DAT. -Gold dosed in New York, yesterday, at 12|. -Golton closed quiet but ?rm; uplands 194 cents; Bales 1300 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed strong; up? lands 9?d; Orleans 9|d; sales 15,000 bales. ? -Dark hair, so long neglected and despised among the ladles, ls again in the ascendant, fickle lashlon having tired of the blondes. -The cases of a white man and colored wo? man in Georgia have lately been mentioned, who were convicted ol an offence under the stat otes ofthat State in intermarrying. After sentence they were brought before Judge . Erskine, of the United States District Court, . on Tuibeas corpus, their counsel claiming that the statute in question conflicted with the civil rights bili. Judge Erskine, decided the point not well taken, and ordered' the parties re. mantled to the custody of the sheri fi* for exe? cution of the sentence of the State Court. -It ls said that on a certain occasion Henry Ward Beecher preached a sermon on the in . justice of obliging men to work: on Sunday. The next day, while riding down to. Fulton Ferry, he entered into conversation with u car-driver, and asked if he did not think some plan might be adopted to dispense with the need di running the cars all day Sunday. The driver, in Ignorance of his interrogating friend, made a frank i.ply: "Yes sir, I think there might. But there's no hope- for lt so long -LS t ney keep that Beecher theatre open lu Brooklyn, j The cars have to run to accom? modate that." * . -The English press, which inste'.ed that the Suez Canal could never he constructed, have latterly, persisted in asserting that lt was rapidly niling up with sand, and must soon become useless, except at the. cost Of con? tinued" and enormously expensive dredging. H. de Lesseps has just written a letter which flatly contradicts these assertions, and in which he says that "the deposits of sand brought by the wind are insignificant, and the aides of the basin are so solid that outlines projecting at different points, after eighteen months' use, present scarcely a perceptible variation in the conformation of the slope." . -Qelmbpld, lt seenu, is insane. The Long Branch News, of the 22d i n stanr, says r "It is the opinion of physicians who have examined Dr. Helmbold that he ls laboring under a tem? porary derangement of mind, occasioned by bis business difficulties, and that the statement that the unfortunate aCk.tr of yesterday morn ing*was the result of excessive drinking is in? correct, as to the Immediate cause. A profes? sional examination was made yesterday by Dr. T. G. Chattle, in the presence of Judge Guild, of Newark, and Mr. MatseU, of New York, who acted as Dr. Helmbold's legal advisers in the case, which resulted in recommending his EOjourn in the asylum Of Dr. Kirkbride, at Philadelphia." -The vote in'Norih Carolina on the ques? tion of a convention was the heaviest one ever cast in ?hat State, and . will foot np nearly I80,0ca The majority against the convention will be about 5000. Eighty-three counties giro a majority of 10,231, but the remaining seven will probably reduce this one-half.. One object in culling the convention was to effect some arrangement with the holders ol the enormous State debt which the Radical miers had contracted, and which the revenues ol the State are inadequate to meet. But the Convention is defeated, the people of North Carolina being deterred irom voling for it by the threat of Federal disfavor, and they must bear the burdens imposed by usurpers until they can be removed In some other manner. -It is a sttdden and inglorious termination of a most brilliant career-that of the racer Longfellow-provided the story of his strained tendon be true. The noble animal is surely lame, but whether temporarily or permanent? ly cannot be foreseen. At any rate, his "race Is run" for the present, and on-Wednesday evening old John Harper wended his tvay to the Saratoga depot, slowly and sorrowfully, en route for Kentucky. He wore his celebrated linsey-woolsey coat and carried his faithful walking-stick, but his countenance was de? jected and the cheerful cigar was absent. Longfellow was put aboard the train, and honored with a whole car set apart lor his ex? clusive accommodation; and a little negro boy was detailed and carefully enjoined by the owner to "look out lor that leg." The care started, and Harper and Longfellow, who had been twenty-four hours before the observed of all observers, left the scene ol their triumphs and defeats with scarcely an eye to watch their departure. Mr. Harper is a veteran in the horse-raising line, but bas been singularly unfortunate. His three ventures this year, Express, Littleton and Longfellow, have ali proved losers, though it is said his aggregate gains exceed his actual lossee. But he is not discouraged, and will "try his luck" again. -On Saturday, the 29th of July, a screw steamer left Liverpool, with a valuable cargo of dry goods and assorted merchandise, bound ?or Chicago; and on Monday, the 21st Instant, that port was reached in safety, after a voyage of twenty-two days. As might be expected, the inland "City by the Sea" was thrown into raptures over this feat, and at once predicted for itself an Immense and independent traffic with all the countries o'f the globe in the future, without having to draw its supplies from New York and the Atlantic seaboard. Whether this expectation will be fulfilled or not is yet a problem to be solved. The feat of direct importation, without .'transhipment, has been successfully accomplished, and the probability is that this attempt will be follow? ed up by others on a more extensive scale. The time by these direct shipments is much quicker than that which can be depended upon by importing via New York, where goods are usually detained from ten to twenty days in the customhouse, in addition to the twelve days, or more, on the ocean; and then, again, lrom three to seven days on the rail? road, with high charges for transportation. The inducements' to try direct Importation are, therefore, tempting; and that the spirit is there also is sufficiently shown by the fact that several of the heaviest mrrchants ol Chicago have already adopted this new mode of impor? tation, without overhauling or breaking bulk, via Montreal. * The New Departure. The Wisconsin Democracy, with Senator James B. Doolittle as their candidate for Governor, have taken the field on the " new departure." They say: "That as the late " amendments to the constitution have been " declared by the properly constituted au " thorities to be part of the'*4bndamental " law of the land, they are bin di cg on the " people," and that " the Democratic party "are opposed to the withdrawal of civil " and political rights from any class of the " people; and that we demand the removal " of all political disqualifications." This adds another to the long roll of States which agree to accept the inevitable, icm their backs upon the bad past, and make the best of the situation. Charge, Cheater, Charge ! The Chester Reporter has several stand? ing grievances; the principal being the comments of the Charleston press upon the j new Blue Ridge Syndicate, and our failure to reproduce the Reporter's denunciations of "the old fogyism for which Charleston is " proverbial." With regard to the Blue Bidge Railroad, it is sufficient to Bay that we have given both attack and defence-the report of | Messrs. Porter & Conner, and the semi-offi? cial explanations of the Syndicate. And we see no reason, as yet, to modify our opin? ions, or to approve, in advance, of a trans? action which takes the control of the Blue Ridge Railroad ont of the hands of tbe State, upon terms which are known only to those who are partners, in the speculation. But we are no less anxious than the Re? porter to witness the speedy completion of | the Blue Ridge line; and that Charleston is deeply interested, is proved by the magni? tude of her money subscriptions to the stock of the company. Every tax receipt is an nnpleasant reminder of the millions which Charleston has spent in the vaiu en? deavor to secure direct communication with the West. This city, however, cannot do impossibilities, and may be unable to con? vince the Reporter that we are striving bard to open new channels of trade, ns well as to retain what business we possess. The matter of close connections with the Charlotte Road was referred to the vice President of the Sooth Carolina Railroad, '? whose explanations were printed in these [1 columns some days ago. Can the Reporter suggest any new complaint upon this branch of; the Bubject ? We do not pretend to say that the mer? chants and business men of Charleston are absolutely without fault. To an outsider it J would seem that some of them might dis? play, with benefit tc themselves, more dash and fire, and a more progressive spirit. But they have had a hard battle with fortune these six years, and we are disposed to en? courage them, and cheer them on, instead of joining, as the Reporter would do, in a chorus of angry criticism. After nil, onr contemporary, we suppose, has the good of Charleston at heart. Should it spare the rod-in its own opinion-it might spoil the city! - Popular Kducatlon. The Cheraw Bemocrat urges the voters of j its school district to levy an additional school-tax, so as to secure, beyond all doubt, the quota granted by the State. This addi? tional tax must, of necessity, be very small, bul it will serve to show that the people are ready to do what they can in furtherance of j the cause of education. We are glad to learn that it is the intention of the trastees for Cheraw to establish two 'schools, one for the colored children and one for the white children. t That " Prospect ?ve Carse.'" We notice that the Edgefield Advertiser, in a recent issue, speaks of Cumulative, voting as "that prospective curse for South " Carolina." These are strong words, and, as we are convinced that a representation of minorities (such as is secured by Cnmnlative voting) is indispensable to the maintenance of free institutions, we should like to hear the reasons which have led the Advertiser to condemn a plan which, in substance, has received the, approval of the most enlight? ened statesmen of the day. Nominations by Buyout t. [From the Nation ] Suppose Warmouth and his Republicans in New Orleans had been men ot nerve enough to attempt the enforcement ol their right to seats in the State Republican Convention, and the State Governor had been shot down by United Si ates troops surrounding the conven? tion, not in obedience to the requisition of the Governor, but of the United States Marshal, who wishes to be nominated as governor, and at the instance of the United States Collector, who wishes to be a senator, could the Presi? dent in that case have withstood the demand for the punishment of those officials by re- j moral ? He bas most certainly not acted with sufficient promptness for the country's good, or the party's, or his own In this business; and in case he should not act at all, his offence must surely be recollected against him. That "he means no harm" In no way relieves a maker of legal precedents against the free? dom of a country; and nothing better than that ls said for General Grant, while worse things are said in plenty, and not without color of truth.
