Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO., No. 140 East Bay. Charleston, S.O. "WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1871 it NEWS OE THE DAT. -Gold at New York, yesterday, closed at 134al3i -The New York cotton market ciosed quiet; uplands 19{c; sales 1048 bales. -At Liverpool cotton closed quiet; uplands 9jd; eales 10,000 bales. -The "steam omnibuses-' of Paris have been abandoned. -A mine of meerschaum clay has been dis. I covered in Patagonia. -Twenty-two thousand packages of tea are j now coming overland on the Pacific Kail way. -The latest agony among fashionable New York youth ls to wear a small thermometer on the side of the hat. -The attorney-general has a dispatch from North Mississippi, that st.y s that Ave Ku-Klux with disguises complete were captured. -Had the Chicago fire occurred before the j era of railways and telegraphs lt would have been even a much greater calamity, owing to the inability ot the people there lo make known their sufferings in time to secure prompt relief. -After the great fire in London in 1666, Parliament enacted that every house should I ? be built with party walls, and all in Iront raised j, ol equal height, and those walls should be ol I ?tone or brick, and that no man should delay j. building beyond sevin years. IJ -The following paragraph appears In a I? Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun : "At-11 tornea-General Akerman has personally su- J ' perlntended the arrangements for the trials in 11 South Carolina under the Ku-Klux act. He I \ spent most all of last week in the Sparenburg t and Union Districts. In Sparenburg lhere I c are a dozen confined in Jail awaiting trial, and j t a largo number of arrests are promised. A I ? statement made in some of the Republican! papers of the State that hundreds are aban-1L doning the organization and surrendering Ic themselves either to the civil or military au-18 thorities is very emphatically denied. As yet I v the President's proclamation has no such ef-1 e ?ect." J i -From a baby show to a show of maidens I 3 is but a natural and easy step. The success of I ^ the baby shows at North Woolwich Gardens, I 0 Kent, near London, has induced .the spirited " proprietor to try the effect of a show of bar maids. Barmaids "draw"' better than babies. I D The swells, the fops and the snobs, attracted It! by the dazzling splendor ol the maidens be- |l' hind the counter, drink unlimited quantities I o ol "blew beaw," and, therefore, barmaid j s shows pay better than baby snows, which at-1 tl tract only economical paters and maters, 11< whose Bole Indulge, -e ls an occasional "leetel j u drop o' gin" on the sly. Each barmaid strives I lt her utmost to attract customers, and the one I g who receives the largest number ol votes, and consequently sells the gieatest quantity of li? quor, receives the highest prize. P -A &entucky man who attemp'ed to cross 0 a high railroad bridge at Shepberdsvllle, in " that State, on the 24th ult., ."tumbled and tell cl between the ties, but fortunately managed " to grasp a tie with his hands, and there hung .< dangling, with one hundred leet of sheer fall ? beneath him. He was utterly unable to regain (l the fop of the bridge, and he hung on with a death grasp until his cries brought assistance. Lifted lrom his perilous position, he was led 0 off the bridge, and sat down for a few minutes, * apparently overcome by the danger through 11 .which he had passed. Then he got up, as he 0 said, to go home, walked a few steps, and fell a to the ground dead. Physicians, who careful- f( ly examined his body, say that there was no i, bruise or wound sufficient to durable him a much less cause death, and are of opinion that ^ his death was caused by fright. -The Viceroy of Egypt has hit upon a finan Cia! idea which no other brain, if we e: :ept 8 Mr. Boutwell's, could have conceived. He has 0 assessed all landholders six years' rent in ad- 1 vance, with the promise ol a "rebate* of city a per cent, ever after. This scheme Is likely to t? miscarry, from the eimple fact that the lund- ti owners have not the money to pay the rent as t? demanded : but it Feryes to Illustrate tile dfffl- J <. cutties in which lhat gay aud generous Prince has managed to lnvo 'e himself. Having studied in the school of European as well as Eastern luxury, he hos contrived to combine the extravagances ol the two systems In a manner possible only In Egypt. He keeps au opera at Cairo, to which he summons the lights of the lyric stage In Europe by telegraph * without inquiring as to expense ; and this he supplements with a theatre and three circuses in eonsiant operation. He has Borne twenty four palaces scattered about his provinces, and his purchases ot white slave girls are the largest in the market. As If this were not enough, he invested largely in the Suez Canal and now that he finds money necessary to pre. serve his peace with the Sultan, there is noth? ing to be done but to put the screws on the people. Bat even the Viceroy has not jet ventured to Impose an income tax. -The reception tendered by the delighted Auburnites to the peripatetic ex-Secretary of Bete on the occasion ot his return to his an Cv'tral threshold, was ol a most cordial de? scription. The depot was thronged with citi? zens all on tiptoe, and when the locomotive bore down upon the scene they besieged the train with the evident design ol carrying it by storm. The survivor ol Japanese and Egyptian entertainments was not to be permuted to un? dergo a friendly immolation at the hands ofhis townspeople, and an energetic committee suc? ceeded in rescuing and depositing him In safe? ty at the door of bis residence. Thereunto the crowd did follow, and he was easily pre? vailed upon to make a speech. In it he mude a few slight allusions to his recent jaunt, told his lrlends how hard it had been for him to en? dure separation from Hiern for so extended a period, and expressed the hope that it would not happen again. He had looked the whole human family lu the lace, and had taken by the hand and conversed ? 'lb his fellow-man in his lowest degradation anti in his highest state of civilization. But he had only learned to love and honor America above every other country. And then he retired amid applause. AnJ then the band played. - It is pr? posed to construct, or to perfect by a union ol railroad lines already constructed, a | * continuous toute of travel from London to c Bombay, by which the journey may be made, without cringe o? cars, in Ave dayB, sixteen boure and lortj-six minutes-a very nice calcu? lation, surely, when the distance is considered, which is fire thousand three hundred and thlr. ty nine miles; but the variation of a minute or two in the time, either way, will constitute no serious ground of complaint or objection to the scheme. Tte contemplated route is by way ol Dover Straits, twenty eight miles, and through France by existing lines and the Mount Cenis Tunnel, to Trieste, whence the line is to be completed through Austria, European and Asiatic Turkey, Persia, Beloochistan, to Kur rachee, and so on to Bombay. A tunnel is to be built under the Channel to complete an un? broken line of rail; but until that is done the Straits will be crossed by a powerful steamer with a degree of certainty which, unless in ex treme stress of weather, will not, it is appre- j hended, a?ect the question of time more than a minute or so. The plan has been laidbelore Mr. Gladstone, with the expectation that his influence may secure the needed aid irom the British Government. Two hundred millions of dollars in glod are required to complete the line; and England setting a strong example, it is proposed that the different countries through which the line passes should bear each its due share ol the cost of the grand en? terprise. The idea is neither chimerical nor impracticable, nor does it exceed in magni? tude and grandeur the Pacific Railroad, which our young country has constructed without extraneous aid. Tile Chicago Sufferers. We are gratified to 6ay that we have re? ceived a number of subscriptions for the Chicago sufferers, and we expect to add largely to the list in the course of the day. In order that all persons who desire to do so may have a full opportunity of subscribing, we propose to keep the list open until to? morrow night. A full statement of the sub? scriptions will be printed in THE NEWS of Friday. Our Boot and Shoe Tax. Nearly every man and woman in the United States knows that a pair of boot3 or shoes costs at least twice as much under the present Republican tarin" as it did during .hat low-tarifl* period of Democratic rule, ust previous to the war which ex-Commis lioner Wells characterizes as the most pros? perous epoch of the country. Tbe general mpression is that the enhanced cost of a lecesjary article of wear, is owing to the var and the debt which it necessitated ; and bat when a man pays two prices for a pair >f shoes, one price goes to pay his share of be national debt. A document recently ssned by nearly four hundred boot and shoe nanufacturing firms in Massachusetts, efi'ect lally refutes this erroneous impression by howing that for every dollar which the rearers of boots and shoes pay to the Gov rnment, they pay over S5 to certain .? pro ' tected " industries. That is to say, of the '10 which a man pays for a pair of fine oots $1 goes to the Government, $5 14 oes into the pockets of certain manufactu era of the materials of which the boots are jade, and S3 8C represents the real cost of tie boots, which he would get them for if liere were no tarifi'. On every S3 pair of oots bought by a farmer or mechanic, the ame proportion prevails, one-tenth going to be national treasury, five-tenths to the pro ?cted interests, and four-ieutbs for the act. al cost of the boots. It will thus be seen int our high turill' on hides, leather and ndi?g8, instead of protecting the great iterest of leather manufacture, really op resses it, by discouraging the consumption f leather lubrica. " Whatever measure of prosperity," says the address of the Ma3sa hudetis shoe manufacturers, "they have attained, has been in spite of an adverse and depressing system of taxation, and is due to the intelligence, skill and industry 'of our people." Tbe tariff on leather amounts to 35 per ent.-a totally unnecessary tariff, since imericans have always enjoyed euch advau iges over other people, in the manufacture I leather, as have enabled them to undersell II competitors. Our leather makers, there? se, clo not need the protection of this great ix. The duties of silk and rubber webbing re 35 to 50 per cent, respectively; and as aere are but few manufacturers of these ibric3 in this country, the tax on them ?3 trictly a tariff for their benefit. The duties n serges and lastings are 85 per cent, 'here are but two manufactories of ihese rticle3 in this country, so that' the high arid is for the advantage of the owners of l?ese two establishments. The aggregate axes ou all the materials of the boot anti ?l?e industry amount annually to $21,500, 00; of Ibis sum only $3,500,000 ia paid ito the treasury, while $19.000,000 is paid >r the protection of the comparatively few ersocs who make leather, webbing, lasting nd serge. Of course, American boot and hoe manufacturers, when compelled to pay hese excessive taxes on the materials they 3e, cannot compete in foreign markets with bose manufacturers who pay no such taxes; nd it is not strange, therefore, that the itnerican made boots and shoe3, that once rent to Canada, South America und the Ve3t Indies, have been driven out of these ?arkets by the cheaper boots and shoes of Europe-and this, too, although new pro easts and improved machinery have cheup ned the cost of making these articles ier cent, within the last ten j ears. Besides he tariff here mentioned on the materials ised in shoemaking, there are the taxes on ools, machinery, buildings, transportu ion-and the taxe3 on all the commodities onsumedby workingmen-all of which go o increase the coat of boots and shoes. Jnder these circum3tau.ee?, the Mossachu etts manufacturers of boots and shoes peii ion for a removal of all protective duties nd the placing of all industries on a boals /here they would be compelled to rely on he skill, genius and industry of our people, nd our natural advantages, for their suc ess, without any artificial props and sup? orta. They declare that this would "greatly .advance our industry, 03 we should then 'have the markets of the world in which to 'sell our products, thus largely increasin* 'the labor employed and the profits of 'manufacturinj;." Educational Keform. We have receive ! a letter from "Student," ittacking both the motives and reasoning if the writer of the articles upon Educational ?eform, in course of publication in these lolumus. When the whole of thc letters i>f "Fairfield" are before the public, and not before, we will print such well-considered criticisms o? them as may be submitted to us by responsible correspondents. We with? hold "Student's" letter for the present. WE FEAK that a paragraph printed ia THE NEWS of yesterday may have produced a wrong impression. The idea we desired to convey is this: The Columbia Union said that a negro school-house near Clinton was burned, and, also, that a colored mao living ! near by had been ordered to leave the county. The Laurensville Herald has infor? mation of the burning, but can learn nothing that will support the statement that a col? ored man has been warned to go away. The Galaxy. The Galaxy for November comes early, and contains many Interesting articles. General J. D. Imboden contributes some striking re? miniscences of Generals Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson; Carl Benson dissects "popular falla "cieB;" Justin McCarthy writes an entertaining letter about the two Newmans, "par nobile "/mirum, "as he names them; the Hon. Gideon Welles contributes a paper entitled "Admiral "Farragut and New Orleans;" Anthony Trol? lope continues "Eustace Diamonds;" and Miss Edwards continues "Ought wejo Visit Her ?'' Miss Seemuller siDgs of the spirit of Barbarossa appearing In Bismarck, or rather, that the latter is the former. The miscellany ol all kinds is os entertaining as usual. The present number has a portruit and a little sketch ol the great English philosopher, Herbert Spencer. _ Cat Down Salaries. [From the Columbia Calen, Rad di.] We are most decidedly lo iavor ol reducing Balarles, wherever it can be done consistently. There are many officers ot the State Govern? ment, and perhaps some of the county, whose Balarles are by no means exorbitant. Take, for instance, the Governor, and in fact all the State officers, except ?.he Adjutant-General and Lieutenant-Governor. Their salaries range from $3500 to $2500. But as to County Com? missioners, School Commissioners and County Treasurers, there is absolute necessity for a reduction of salary. We know that in many of the counties the County Commissioners have made fortunes Irom their positions. As to Trial Justices, we deem the whole system a most outrageous swindle. We do not, of course, mean to say that all Trini Justices are swindlers, but where such doors for swindling are lelt open, be must be a very conscientious officer who resists the temptation to enter. This system hos cost the State thousands ol dollars, which have been the same as thrown away. We have heard of officers of this kind whose lees from the State have amounted to as much as $?000 per annum, while no doubt half the cases they tried were some ot their own trumping up.
