KBITS OE THE DAT. -Gold closed heavy at I4|al4j. -Cotton closed quiet and weak in New York at 19j cenis. -In Liverpool cotton closed steady, uplands 9ja04d., Orleans "ialVjd. ; sales 10,000 bales. -The next General Convention oi me Prot? estant Episcopal Church will be held at Balti? more, beginning October 4th. -In England, on October otb, new postal rates go into effect, by which a letter weigh * lng one ounce will go lor a penny, equivalent to two cents in our currency. -The Ward Brothers, the American oars- j men, are said to have made five seconds to the mile laster time, in their race at Saratoga, than can be found on record in England. -Of the new "Saratoga stride" the local paper says: "It ls really hard to do. You have to practice it a good deal In your room, and then If you don't get your flos-we mean your arms-to hang Just right, you spoil lt all, and you bear them whisper as you pass along, 1 She hasn't got it right.' ' -A meeting ol Episcopal clergymen and laity in Columbus, Ohio, last week, set on foot a memorial for signature and presentation to j the general convention respectfully praying j that honorable body to authorize the omission of the word "regenerate'' In the office for the "Ministration of Baptism to Infants" in the Biok of Common Prayer. -Insanity is greatly on the lucrease in England. In 1859, when the population amounted io 19.036,701, there were 36,762 lu? natics, or nineteen out of every ten thousand persona. In 1871, with a population ol 22,704,. 108, there were 56,750 lunatics, or twenty-five out of every ten thousand persons. Of the 56,755 lunatics there werj 6110 private pa? tients, 50,185 pauper patients, and 460 palients in prisons. -The Belgian women seem to have a parti? cular talent lor business. The Sisters Ever bert in Brussels are the la.gest lace manufac? turing firm in the world. Dr. de la Pierre, chief of the Dental College In Berlin, has his wife as partuer in his professional labors. Ia Bruges, Liege, Ghent and other cities, women are the associates ol their husbands and fathers in nearly all the departments ot trade, and discharge their duties most effiCllvely. -Itisjusttwo years since the "Black Fri? day'' when Mr. Bunt weil made his first promi? nent appearance in the gold market, and on Thursday he made another lilt at Wall street In which he came out decidedly second best. The case was that of a comb nation to keep up the squeeze on the market, to induce the Sec? retary of the Treasury to sell at least four mil? lions ol gold, and thereby withdraw Irom lue banks that amount of greenbacks, which would assist the money squeeze next week. On Wednesday the Secretary partially defeated the scheme of the bear clique lu stocks by purchasing three millions ol bonds, then by putting that amount of legal lender notes Into the banks In pa} meut lor them. On Thurs? day, under the impression that the Secretary would 6ell only $4,000,000 ot gold, the price was kept up to 114j; but about half-past 1 this Idea was exploded and the price drop? ped in five minutes to 113J, and thereafter fluctuated wildly between that price and 114A O-ie moment the price would be up and p. lot li er it would fall, and for the space of al? most fifleen minutes the fluctuations averaged ten per minute. The centre of the room was packed with a moss of brokers, each one yel? ling himself hoarse and seeking to make him? self heurd aoove the din. Some leaped upon the railing of the ring, and, with both hands raised, sought to make themselves so promi? nent that their offers would be heeded, and all were mott frantic In their gesticulations. But the principal leaders of the bull movement stood firm, and the market rose aler awhile e fen beyond its former condition. The New Yjrk Herald nays : "A week ago -told was 113J. M. antitne. Mr. Boutwell ^->s fold ten millions of gol 1, yet the price has tranced over one per cent. How high will he put gold if he selli nil he I a* in the treasury ?" -Three lives for ou? was the forfeit paid justice la the execution in tho Parish of St. Jame?, Louisiana, on Saturday week. The convicted men were negroes, nnd the crime was most bastardly. There were four con? cerned, and the object was the robbery ora store. After breaking io, they seized the helpless clerk, twisted a rope about lils neck, and, one laking hold of each end, pullen unlil ihe poor fellow was strangled like dog. After plundering the store they sprinkled coal oil atout and set it on fire, destroying Hie whole. With the idtal ignorance ol' their class, they car? ried the body to the river and threw it into reappear as a witness against them, and shot the murdered man's dog outside the store. Arrest soon followed, and one, by name Par? ker, turned State's evidence and saved him? self while bringiug his accomplices to justice. The sheriff, who got hu idea from old English law, determined to hang them upon the very spot where the crime was committed, and thither black and white flocked on an excur? sion to see the sight. The scenes were char? acteristic. When the sheriff read the death warrant lo the condemned men, Williams, the ringleader, burst forth in the exclamation, . M hank God, it lias come at last. Heaven be J praised l'or making me, commit the crime, for without, that I would not have known lhere was a God." As the sheriff, who ls a negro, entered tn prepare them for the gallows, they were rocking constantly to and iro, ever exclaiming, "Thank God," "Come, Lord, and take me home." To the question, "Are you happy and willing tc die?" the three answered, "Ye?, I am happy; I want to go home to heaven and live in glory." As an ?example, another negro, in jail on the charge of murder, was taken along with the rest a3 a spectator, and lor the sake of the moral effect, the one who turned State's evi? dence drove ihe cart. The executioner was also a colored man, and at the word ol com: mand, "caps down," he palled the latal mus lin over the three faces. Then the sheriff ad. dressed a low words of warning to the trvrnb 'ing man whom he had brought there from jail, and at the word "Time P the black execution? er tugged at a rope, and the deed was done. The Narrow Gauge. Thc narrow-gauge ruilway Bystem has be? come an excitiug que3iion among engineers. A good deal may be said, or at any rate is said, on both side3. The advocates of the narrow gauge urge that they require smaller sized embankments, less cutting, narrower tuonel3 and bridges and culverts, and of course le33 right* of way has to be purchased tban on broad roads. But the greatest sav? ing i3 said to be in dea 1 weight. - The mass of cars increases grer.jy in proportion to their width, and must be much heavier and stronger throughout with every additional inch between the wheel?. It is estimated that on ordinary roads the weight of passen? ger traiu3 compared to that of the people they carry is as 28 to 1, and of freight trains in proportion to the goods aboard about 7 to L An engine, therefore, has to pull an enormous quantity of dead or non paying maller, which would be greatly diminished by the narrow-gauge plan, upon which the car3 can be built much lighter and still be strong enough and capacious enough for every demand upon them. Experience shows that on a Ihree-feet gauge cars do not need to be more than half as heavy, to carry a given load, aa those on the standard gauge. Mr. Hawkstraw, an eminent engineer of In? dia, calculates the diff?rence between the ti-st cost of a five feet six loeb road and a three feet six inch line to be ?1810 a mile, and the saving in maintenance and renewal of permanent way ?5f? per mile yearly. An? other authority estimates lhat the working expense of a given traffic on a two feet nine inch gauge would be about half of that on a four feet eight and a half inch one. The sav? ing would undoubtedly be large in the prime cost of building the road, in the outlay for engines and cars, ni ull the incidental items, and in the daily transactions of business; but we wait for the results of a long line be? fore undertaking lo speculate too confidently npon the difference. Besides the other ad? vantages named, it is also asserted thal curves can be made much sharper on narrow gauge than on broad gauge tracks with safe? ty, tau3 permitting engineers to follow the natural conformation of the country, and saving the expense of much cutting and fill? ing. On the other hand, it may be urged that the greater the curves the slower the speed, il accidents would be avoided. It is also ob? jected that the cars- being light are more likely to jump the track, and it is considered certain that a very high rate of speed can? not be maintained on a narrow-gauge line, for it ?3 necessary for safety to have the cen? tre of gravity of the car3 low and the wheels of smaller diameter, and those would, there? fore, have to revolve much faster than on a wide track, and be mere liable to fracture, or to heat the journal?. One misfortut.e of the narrow gauge is that, in regions where broader line3 aro in general operation, a change of cars and breaking of bulk are nec? essary in shifting off to the wide gauge. This difficulty, however, it is suggested, might be met in part by the laying of a third rail upon the latter between those already down. In regard to the difficulty of combining great speed with safety in the narrow-gauge sys? tem, it is answered that great speed ?3 not the main object of the system, ita chief aim being a moderate first cost, and economy of working, with a view of earning dividends an object thal deserves encouragement in the United States, wbire 60 many roads pay nothing to stockholders. It would s*em at any late to be clear that, for new parts of the country, an.1 kr r?glon3 which require a railway connection with a main line, but can? not afford to construct a wide gauge, the new system oilers many advantages. So far as the system has been tried it ha3 worked successfully. Narrow-gauge lines, of widths varying from two feet six inches to three feet six inches, have been built in Nor? way, Sweden, Bussia, Canada, and other parta of the world, chiefly in mining districts, and their good operation ha3 confirmed the favorable opinion formed of them by engi? neers. The introduction of the reform sys? tem in this country has just begun. Tne Den? ver and Rio Grande Railway Company was the tirst ?B the United States to introduce ii on a large scale for regular passenger and freight work. The gauge adopted is three feet. The line will be eight hundred and fifty milea long, and connect the great Pacific Railways. On the 30ih ultimo ground was broken at Columbus, 111., for the Cairo and St. Louis narrow-gange road, which will be of the three-foot pattern. But the amplest test to which the claims of the narrow gauge system will be put will be in India, where the British Government has adopted Ihe standard of i bree feet three and ihree-eighlhs inches-practically the French metre-for all the Indian railways now in contemplation. The Punjab Norlhern and Indus Valley lines will probably be ihe first built. The present standard in India i3 five feet six inches. Thi3 wu3 adopted in 1830, and still has its earnest advocates. The victory won by the narrow gauge men was achieved ouly after a hard fight of ligures. THE number of bales or cotton brought in, and shipped from, Fairfield County in the year ending September 1, 1871, was 17,18t;, including 12,752 balea shipped from Winns boro'. A3 Winnsboro' shipped only 7415 bale3 in 18CS, and 5834 bales in 1869, the lo? cal paper-the Winnsboro' News-may well feel cheerful. Martial Law in the south. [-ron. the New York Even.tiK Post, Rcpublcan.] Th.j letter ol Mr. A. J. Ransier, the colored Lieutesant-Governor of Bouth Carolina, in which he opposes the proposition to declare martial law in that Slate, has caused much dis eussion, and ought to nave some Influence on the President He asserts that peace may be restored if the Republicans will discharge from office all incompetent and corrupt officers, and the Democrats will be content to obtain re? dress for their complaints through legal and peaceful means. Mr. Ransler's plan is not a new one. He simply expresses the sentiment o? the best men ol both political parties in the Southern States. Senators Robertson, ol South Caro? lina, Hill, of Georgia, and West, of Louisiana, In opposing the Ku-Klux bill in Congress, took the ground that interference by the adminis? tration in local affairs, whatever temporary success it might have, would have a bad influ? ence, and would be the beginning of an end? less series of similar legislation. Governors Alcorn, of Mississippi, Lindsay, of Alabama, and Scott, of South Carolina, were confident, at that time, that they could preserve the peace better without tte interference of the United States officers. The same opinion was express? ed by the independent Republican journals of | the Southern States. These witnesses are worthy of confidence, because they are most deeply Interested In restoring peace. Covering Cotton Bales. ^From the New Torie Journal of Commerce.] A Savannah correspondent asks us if there is any likelihood ol legislation by Congress to compel or induce planters to cover cotton bales completely, so as to leave neither theElde? nor ends partially exposed. We answer that such legislation has already been adopted, and pub? lished in full in our columns. The act of Feb? ruary 28, 1871, prescribes -That no loose hay. loose cotton, or loose hemp * * * 6hall be carried as freight on any steamer carrying pas? sengers; nor shall baled cotton or hemp be carried in such steamers unless the bales are compactly pressed, and thoroughly covered with bagging or similar fabric, and secured with good rope or iron bands; and every bale of cotton or hemp that shall be shipped or car? ried on any passenger steamer without con? forming to the provisions of this section shall be subject to a penalty of five dollars; which bales shall be liable to seizure and sale to se? cure the payment ol such penalty." This, we think, ought to be a sufficient in? ducement to planters to cover their cotton as well as to pack it properly. This act ls now In loree, and as the penalty ls easily collected, and half, as we infer, goes to the lnlormer, our Southern friends will rio well to stir up all their packers on this subject. Every bale ol cotton packe?! this tall and winter ought to be care? fully covered In conlormlty with the provis? ions ol' this law. The New York City Muddle. Amid the hubbub that agitates all parties in New York City, the Hon. Fernando Wood pre? serves a clear head, and, while taking no part in the controversy, does not hesitate to show pla'nly where the liam* rests. Mr. Wood trace; the conupllon in municipal affairs di? rectly to the Republican party. It was that fact'on which, using the power of the Legisla? ture over the City ol New York, took the po? lice fr?>m the hands of the Mayor and made it an instrument for their political ends, increas? ing the cost fourfold while diminishing Its effi? ciency. The Republican Legislature establish? ed these commissions, one lor the police, an? other for the new Courthouse, and another for the Central Purk, and so on through the whole list; and when the power was thus In their own handc, ihe work of corruption commenced. Through the Republican party the expenses ol the city were run up from ten to twenty-three millions in five 3-ears, and the way opened for corruption of the most magnificent sort. Mr. Wood expresses the opinion that New York will not endorse the party which has brouji lt into this trouble, and that the elly will re? main Democratic, as he believes the nation will be in 1872. .financial A ~N T E D , MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE RAILROAD STOCK Mississippi Central Railroad Bonds i Montgomery and West Point Railroad Bonds East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad Stock East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Stock Memphis City Bonds (endorse.) by Memphis and CnarlcBion Railroad) Memphis CTy Coupons ?past due) Savannah City Bends.
