VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1798. CHARLESTON, FKIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YR A fi THE PLANTERS' BANE. corrow STEALING OX EDISTO. Alarming Extent of the Traffic-The Thieves and th Receivers. EDISTO ISLAND, September 25. TO TBE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS. If a witch of Endor were here, and would bring up from one of the many honored graves which lie around the churches ot this Island an old inhabitant who has long since become a denizen ot'the Invisible world, he would see many changes at which he would wonder, but at none more that at the low standard of mor? als which now prevails here. He would Bee the descendants of his termer companions men who were honored in their day for high principled and great uprightness of character -engaged in pursuits at which their iorelatti? ers wouid shudder. As he would pass along the public highway, *?t the still hour of night, he would see sickly lights gleaming from ex? temporized shanties, which, ever and anon, stud the borders ot his path; he would hear tbje low munaring o? voices engaged In illicit traffic, and, If led by curiosity to see what it meant, he would discover a brisk midnight trade In stolen cotton, reeking with dew, freshly picked from his neighbors field. To quicken the trade and silence what remains of conscience, close DJ stands the barrel ot whis? key with convenient measures of three and Ave cent drinks. O! what has become of the lessons we were taught in childhood and our nursery tales, which told us the "receiver of stolen goods was as bad as the thief." The ex (Bfca.?e we hear is, "we ask no question?." Need any be asked, when the cotton brought for sale is wet with the dews of night, and smells ot the compression of midnight air in its fleecy locks, when deep darkness covers the earth and none but robbers are at work ? Mr. Editor, this is no fancy picture. It is the true condi? tion of things on this island-a condition that would not be tolerated in the upper districts or anywhere else where the law, whether ad mmhtered by an authorized officer or Ku Klux band, would be enforced. The poor ne? gro, if caught stealing, which ls fre-1 quently the case, is put through the court and made to pay the penalty by imprisonment or some other punishment, whilst the receiver of the stolen cotton escapes unpunished. For the life ot me I cannot see the difference morally between the man who steals and the one who tempts him to steal. 'Tis true, the negro has his crop of cotton and has his undoubted right to sell lt when and where he pleases; but "are there not twelve hdfrrs in the dat ? If any man walk In the day he stumbleth not" Deeds of darkness seek the night to conceal their ugliness. The white race boast of their higher civilization and purer Christianity, bu*, this is a queer way of shewing it. If this nelarious wrong continues and it has never done so to the extent lt has this season-the cu tlvatlon of cotton on these islands must, to a great extent, be abandoned. But two days ago the old and venerated pastor of the Presbyterian Church here, whilst two of his children were lying critically Ul at bis sum? mer residence, had his house on the plantation broken open and every pound ot his cotton crop stolen. Can this people ever expect to tpee brighter days whilst such practices are tin rebuked and unpunished ? EDISTO ISLAND. CHOLERA IN NEW TORE. NEW YOEE, September 28. A mau is said to have died ot cholera in Essex street on Wednesday. YELLOWBACK IN NEW ORLEANS. Acknowledging th? Corn. NEW ORLEANS, September 28. The Picayune says the president of the board ot health, accompanied by a delegation ot merchants, went this morning to the Gover? nor's office and stated that he had personally seen every case of fever in the city, and was satisfied there would be no lurther mortality or any spread ot the disease. He considered the alarm about fever here, at Galveston or elsewhere as premature and without any just cause. A number o? merchants called on the Gov? ernor regarding the Galveston quarantine. Warmoth telegraphed to Governor Davis that "there are but five cases of yellow lever in the city, and but three deaths in ten days. None of the cases are considered dangerous, and there is no fear of the spread of the disease. The quarantine now enforced seriously Im? pedes commerce, ana many persons ot your State now in this city are greatly incommoded by it. (Signed) H. WARMOTH. " Collector Casey telegraphed Governor Davis that "there are only five reported cases of fever, and the city was never In a healthier condition. I have my family unaccllmated here, and I would not keep them In the city an hour did I deem it dangerous. Many of our oldest and best physicians deny the exis? tence of yellow fever." THAT TIDAL WA TE. Professor maury Disposes of the Hum bag. The folio -, lng letter from Professor Matthew F. Maury to a gentleman In New Orleans, will convince those not previously convinced that the "tidal wave" sensation ls sheer humbug. The letter of the distinguished professor is dated at the Virginia Military Institute, at Lox toton, September 18,1871, and is aa follows: * have too much respect for Mr. Agassi* to suppose that he has attempted to "predict an earthquake," or to forecast any such tidal wave for October 5, 6, as you describe-a wave so immense that lt is to submerge the Southern ?tiftOUc coast, the peninsula of Florida and the ulf coast. In 1870 a crack-brain In England alarmed many people there wlih the prediction that during the equinoctial tides of that year an Immense wave was to come into the Mersey and damage Liverpool. Scientific men were called upon to allay the popular fears caused by this foolish announce? ment This they did by showing that the equi? noctial tides ot that year would not be attend? ed by any unusual circumstances whatever. As for an immense tidal wave In the Gulf of Mexico-that sea ls, in this respect, like the Mediterranean-a close sea-the entrances to which are not, as a moment's reflection will convince, large enough to admit during the six hours of flood, water enough to fill such a sea to overflowing. That is why you have little or no tides in these two seas. So New Orleans ls safe. At any rate she has far more reason to fear the floods of the Mississippi from above, with their crevasses, than the .tides ot th? Gulf with their waves. You know the longest tidal waves are gene? rated under the new or lull moon of the equi? noxes. These make tate "bores" of the Ama? zon, the Hoogly, the Pelbo and other rivers that, fronting the tides, have open mouths in deep water for good entrance. This wave, after lt enters the rivers, be? comes a moving and roartntr wall or water ten or fifteen feet high. Warned by the noise and alarmed by the appearance of the "bore " the watermen afloat cut and moke for the shore in their frail craft to escape a flu or cap? size. The South Atlantic coast and the peninsula Of Florida are not only ont of the track and reach of such waves, but the agencies which pile them up ar? wanting there. Moreover, that long chain ot islands which ! 4Ptaln the coast irom the sounds of Carolina to th** capes of Florida, Is a breakwater which would protect and defend our shores from all the tidal waves that the combined action of the sun, moon and planets has power to raise. B^apectfully, 4c. M. F. MAUST. ? TUE RIVE TEA DE. [From Hie New York Bulletin.; The rice produced In South Carolina is the 1 best quality of rice known in the market, and it will always command a higher price than the best qualities of the imported. During the past year the Carolina rice has been very scarce, and the difference between the price of it and the imported has been more marked than usual. During the spring months the Carolina rice was very scaroe, even in Charles? ton, owing to the planters keeping back their supplies lor higher pri VB. Taking advantage ot these circumstances, 1000 bags ot Patna, the best imported rice, was shipped to Charles? ton irom this city, and the shippers were able to sell it at a profit at one cent under the ruling rates of the Carolina rice. This Induced the supplies to come more freely, but still through? out the entire season the Northern markets have been but poorly supplied with Carolina rice, and the Patna lias been largely used as a substitute. The Carolina crops have steadily increased since the war., but they still lack more than 100.000 tier,.?? lo be equal to the crop of 1859-60, as will be seen from the fol? lowing table : Crop of 1859-so.Tierces.. 161,515 Crop Of 1866-67.21,031 C'Op Of 1867-68.23,482 Crop Of 1S68-69 . 37.047 Crop or 1869-70.41,172 Louisiana rice is also becoming a staple ar? ticle In the market, especially lu the Weatern States. Previous to I860 this article was al? most unknown to commerce, but since (hen the production has greatly increased uni il the season ot 1869-70. when lt reached 100,478 barrels of 200 pounds each. Th? crop ot th? present season is estimated .at 49,971 barrels, showing a heavy decrease, owing to the low water during the spring and early summer months. It is thought the present crop will reach about 60,000 barrels. This crop eau be marketed much earlier than the Carolina, and lu time it will become one ol the most impor? tant crops of the South. Until recently the prospects of the growing crops of both Carolina and Louisiana were very favorable; but the late heavy rains along the entire South Atlantic coast are thought to have done considerable damage. The reports regarding this, however, are very contradic? tory, and it is more than probable that the stories ol severe loss are sent abroad with the design to Influence the market. That some damage has beeu done is undoubtedly the case, but from reliable advices received irom the va rtous districts lt would seem that the losses as yet, except In individual cases, are compara? tively lieht. In Louisiana the crop ls being gath? ered under rather favoruble circumstances. Although considerable injury was dope by the back water from Bonne Carre crevasse, the estimates are that the crop will be in excess of that of last year. From all the growing districts the prospects are that the entire crop of the the United States this year will show an ad? vance over the previous year, both in quality and quantity. The first of the new crup was received in this market on the 25th of august. Tbe bulk ot the crop will be later than usual, as the stormy we dher bas interlered some? what with the harvesting. The quarantine re-1 gulatii.ns hereon Charleston vessels also re? tard the shipment ot rice from that port to this market, and in consequence the market ls ex? ceedingly strong and has au upward tendency. The demand at pre ?nt ls in excess of the sup? ply, notwithstanding the imports of foreign during the past season. The receipts of domes? tic rice during the week ending September 19, were 134 packages, making 11,928 packages blase the first of the year. There were import? ed during the same week 4138 packages, mak? ing 620,855 packages since the first of the year. For the same period last year the domestic re? ceipts were 13,441 packages, and the imports 431,965 packages. Since the tir-t ot the year lhere bave been exported 16,847 packages, against 43,738 packages tor the same period last year. GOSSIP ABOUT yiLSsoy. The Great Swedish Songstress No Fall jr -How She Look?-Her Deportment What and How She Eats, if. Everybody will read with interest the tol lowing, from a New York correspondent of a St. Louis paper : Hiss Nilsson looms up pleasantly in the fu? ture; the gaunt, straight figure; the strong, pale face, with the hollow cheeks and the beautiful smile blooming on her lips; the kind? ly gray eyes; the mastic toss of tbe head, and the gait as firm and bold as a man's. Hiss Nilsson is staying now at the Everett House, bbe looks much belter than she did when abe was in St. Louis. The breezes of Newport seem to have done her good. Tho color ol her cheeks is better, and ber very man? ner betrays that she is in much belter spirits. Miss Nilsson, personally, is a charm? ing woman. Her manners are decidedly French; Bbe is a thoroughbred Parisian. She ls perfectly easy, natural and very graceful. When a gentleman ls presented to ber she don't nod ber head as an American lady would, but gives her hand with a frank, pleasant smile, as it she had known him ever, ever so long. Tou are immediately at your ease. Tou wilibe prompted to say whatever comes upper? most in your mind, and she will look at you astonished with her fine gray eyes, as ii to Bay : "You dazzle me with your brilliant intellect." She ls full of these artifices, which make you think her, after having been lu her company half an hour, the simplest, the trankest, tho most charming woman in Christendom. To see ber eat is a pleasure. She does not eat like a fine American lady, with her fingers on the very lip of the fork, and as If she was just condescending to touch mortal food out ot compliment lo her guests; no, she handles knlle and lurk with freedom and vigor, vio? lates all the decrees of fashion in holding Hie iork at the lowest end, and eats as ii soe was no lady of fashion at all. but only A VERT HTSORY W OMAN. She does not hover over the food ; ste cals it, and eats ii with such alacrity, vigor and relish, that lt makes your mouth water. She is very fond ot champagne; drinks lt at all her meals, a ad is indeed the gayest, happiest creature alive. If a man is consumptive, or has the spleen, let him be a day in Miss Nils? son's Company and he will be well again. The cure ls infallible. There's no doubt ot it. Euro? peans all know how to enjoy themselves, when Miss Nilsson travelled ia tte West, she used to have little dinner parties with Brig noli, Verger and Yleuxtemps very often, far Strakosch, the magnanimous, gave' Miss Nils? son unlimited sway with regard to Incurring dinner bills, so that she used to Invite nearly every genteel man who was presented lo her, ut least once to dinner and cham? pagne. These dinners were feasts for the gods. The taiklDg. and laughing, and Joking, and anecdote telling, an l merrymaking that were going on there-wetv there ever such jolly dlnuers.' Brlgnoil was full of tun; Verger was fuller; and Miss Nilsson -well, I shall not say how she did cut ?ip; it would not be in keeping with the dignity ol the muse and ot her votarv, who has been glo? rified and rosined until I 'thought nothing re? mained more of her than essence pure angel? ic; whose voice has been likened to drippicg diamonds, lalling or buobling crystal; over whom this matter-ol-f act world has gone crazy. Alas ! in beelsteak and onions the tond illus? ions vanish, and Miss Misson ls, to the gaze of him whose bread she kindly buttered-Un* writer ls going lo hav* this pleasant reminis? cence of his Ute engraved upon his tombstone, if the presen: enthu?iasm for the songstress lasts OS!.Y A. MORTAL. Miss Nilsson herself, although she is vain, like every one, is quite cynical. She looks at the flowery enthusiasm wlih which she Is flut? tered through monetary spectacles, and has an eye to the malu chance. It you rave aboul her in a newspaper, sbe likes tl very well; she Isa business woman, and knows exactly how much lt is worth. But if you rave about her to her face, pay her a pretty compliment or so, shell laugh and look quite pleased; but che will no more believe thai jon mean ll tua:! sue would suspect the man in the moon ot addres? sing her. "These people come here and hal? ter me because I uni a famous yreat singer," she will say after you are gone, . "because ul that, If I "were poer and unknown no noe would tell me I'm wlity and beautiful." Is s:ie righi or wrong ? She is smart, and knows the world, i hat ehe ls aol an e.vjence floating in angelic kindness, but a strong-minded, Inde? pendent woman, every one ought lo see ai tho first glance. THE POLITICAL ARENA. T. 1 MM. J S i' HEPfDI 1 TED. Ail?! rc, of thc Democratic Urform Gene? ral Committee of Nciv York The lol lowing ii the addres? issued on Tues? day by the Democratic rer'ora general com. mitlee to the Democratic elector? of the City and County ot New York : NEW YORK. September 25. To the Democratic Electors oj \'<e City of Hew York: The time ha3 come ior Democracy, In its great stronghold, tc pas3 au ordeal from which it shall emerge, !.r not unscathed, at least as? suredly purified and exalted. It ls an hour, not for misgivings and despondency, but rather lor good hope and great rejoicing, that at last the opportunity offen for the redemption of the grand old party from the shame and deg? radation into which it has been steeped by the corrupt practices o? some ol' Ita leaders in tbis city. No true Democrat, though humiliated by ; the exposure ol the dishonesty o:" bis partisan chiefs, will contemplate that exposure with re I gret, lor il brings to him the privilege, the duty and thc power of devoting himself, with glori? ous promise ol success, to the sacred mission of cleansing the temple ol his political faith. There ls uo need to recapitulate the crimes of the men to wnom hus been delegated the guardianship of Democratic iaterems in thin city. The shameful record ls before the world, in al! the hideous blazonry ol unmitigated de? pravity. Honored willi trusta 3iid responsibil? ities that would be, to every heart suscepti? ble to honorable and manly feeling. Incentives to scrupulously honest conduct, they have been proreu faithless to every trust and to every obligation, and huvo fielded dtagrace lully to th? prompting? of miserable avarice and dishonorable ambition. Not only have they shamed their party-for it ls not a simply partisan interest that appeals to you-they have brought the municipality which they have misruled to the verge of ruin, betraying the honor aud weakening the credit of the first city o? the republic. It can do you ueither service nor pleasure. Democruta of New York, to rehearae the his? tory of tolly, fraud and treachery, the proofs ot which have beeu paraded before the public, against the leaders of Tammany Hall. In our courts of justice, in our public journals, in our public streets, In the hou-eholds of citizens of every class and of every partisan creed, the humiliating story has been made ihe theme of discussion, of corrow and of indignation. 80 far as legal responsibility is Involved, the ju? diciary will doubtless do their duty. Do yours, Democratic citizens, where political responsi? bility is involved Too long has lt been a re? proach and an Injury to Democracy that four men should wield Its po - er In Us stronghold, even were those four as honest and capable as they have been proved corrupt and reck? less. The tremendous machinery of such au organization should, under no circumstances, be abandoned lo the absolute sway of any lour individuals, whomsoever they maybe. "Such a dictatorship naturally Invites a spirit ot cor? ruption into its narrow sphere. Let us here? after protect the broad piinclple ot Democracy from the peril of false Interpretation from the Ups of any petty combination of cracles. We appeal to the Democratic electors of the City and County of New York to put aside, at (bis crisis, the lesser objects 01 their several local and interior organizations, aud, in the presence of the common danger, to unite against the common enemy, making the down? fall cf the present administration tu Tammany and the redemption ot the Democratic party their paramount political obligation.
