NEWS OF TR?E DAT. -Gold closed in New York, yesterday, at lljallj. -Cotton closed strong at lSJc. for uplands; ales 2790 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed steady; uplands 9}a9Jd, Orleans 9ja9jd; sales 10,000 bales. -St. Louis is said to be full of young men, clerks and drummers, lately lu the employ of Chicago houses, seeking place?. St. Louis merchants are Bending them.out os last as possible to i ne old customers of the Chicago trade. -It is intimated that a new effort will be made, during the coming winter, to Induce Congress to pass an International copyright law. Those who have the project In charge claim to have assurances of thorough co-ope? ration in England, France and Germany. -A French translation of "The Battle of Dorking" is having great success lu Paris. The Idea of London being subjected to the same bitter humiliation as that lately Inflicted on the capital ol France is highly agreeable to Gallic taste. -The chairman of the Chicago Relief Aid Society makes a further appeal for aid for the sufferers. He Bays th. t they are now car? ing for over forty tbousanu ueople, with a very small stock of vegetables ou band, and very little coming in. -Another fearful explosion has* occurred in a coai mine near Ne?castle, England. Thirty three men were in the pit at the time, and, at the date of the last accounts, there was scarce? ly a hope ol saving a single life. Ail the for? mer scenes of distress among the families or the victims were being renewed. -It having transpired that Duke Alexis is te go to the Greek Chapel In Lexington ave? nue, New York, on the Sabbath, the pastor Is .overwhelmed with applications for ad? mission, the chapel being* a private one. He pays no* attention to them, but the pres. sure for admittance has admonished him of the necessity for applying for a policeman or two to preserve order at the entrance, which application has been granted. -J. B. Lippincott A Co., of Philadelphia, have purchased, at a large price, the advance sheets of the "Lile of Charles Dickens," by John Foster, the distinguished author of the "Lite of Goldsmith," the "Life of Landor," Ac. Mr. Foster's Intimate relations with Mr. Dickens lead us to expect a work of great in? terest and standard value. It will be illustra? ted with portraits and fae similes from steel. -The financial transactions cltrried on In New York by "agents" on behalf ol' the State of Georgia are a matter of some anxiety as well as mystery to the people there. Accord? ing to the Atlanta, Ga., SUD, early in the cur? rent year the firm of Henry Clews A Co. an? nounced themselves "agents" for the State to sell its L'onds. Lately State Treasurer Angler wrote io Clews A Co., requesting an account of their operations, and that Arm replies lhat the Fourth National Bank of 5"ew York ls the financial agent of Georgia, and adds : "Our flam has never held that appointment." -The reported alliance between the English peers and the workingmen ls said to be not so Improbable as it seems at first thought. On more than one occasion, as at the time ot the passage of lae factory act, and the act short? ening the hours o? labor, a similar coalition has been made against tte commercial classes, who have steadily resisted most of the claims ol the workingmen. The latter have a vene? ration for hereditary estates and titles, andar? only opposed to invested and active capita), and they are quite willing to Join the aristo? cracy In order to gain an advantage over their employers. -The anticipated arrest of Supervisor Tweed, the Tammany ringleader, In New York,- In connection with the stupendous frauds upon the treasury of that city, took _j)lace on Friday, and, as stated by the tele? graph, he Immediately obtained release by giving ball in the Bum of $2,000,000. This Is the first act In the drama, which will doubtless disclose more vlllany than has ever been ex? hibited before the courts ol New York or any other tribunal on earth. The developments which have been made by the committee who have examined into the frauds for which Tweed and his associates are held responsible show that during the last two years and eight months half the entire revenue o? the city and cooney ot New York for that tim?*, and much more than the entire tax levy, uas been divert ed, or, as ls charged, stolen by the ring. The amount thus diverted foots up over $10.500,000. -The details of the Union torpedo explo? sion at New Orleans, la:-c week, are at hand, and confirm the telegraphed accounts of its terrific violence. The Immediate occasion ot the accident was the collision of a street car with the dray that was transporting the tor? pedoes irom the dock. That vehicle became at once a complete wreck, fragments of lt be? ing scattered about ior fifty yards and a few scraps of pasteboard, white pine splinters and sawdust being all that was left to tell or Its cargo. The driver, Conues, was Instantly killed, every particle of his clothing save a portion of his undershirt hav? ing been literally torn from his person, and his right loot torn from his leg, Just below the knee, and hurled through the air to Jackson square. Mr. Connes also had his skull fractured ,one or two ribs broken, several bones broken in different parts of his body, and every tooth knocked out. The stores and saloons lu the vicinity were severe? ly damaged. The force of the coucusslon tore down plastering, shattered windows and glass doors, and broke bottles on Hie shelves by the score. Eight Individuals were severely wound? ed. It was shown in testimony before the coroner that the shippers had represented the cases as containing ordinary merchandise. The consequence was that no extra care war1 taken of them on the voyage, and it was onlj by the merest chance or good luck that the vessel arrived at her destination without ai explosion. -The National Police Convention met at St, Louis on the 20th Instan!, twenty States being represented by about one hundred delegates The object ol the deliberations is the devising ol measures for the speedier detection anc more certain prevention of crime, the relor mm ?mi nf inrenile culprits, and olher kiudrei matters. An address ot welcome was deliv-] ered by Mr. C. A. Manta, which was received with great applause. Mayor Brown, o? Bt. Louis, was elected president, and made a cap? ital speech In lullest harmony with the ideas of the convention. After the appointment of | various committees and reading of various letters and telegrams, the day's session was concluded. On Saturday, the committee on business reported the following subjects lor consideration : Improving the condition ol neglected and abandoned youth; provldidg for a systematic plan of transmitting detective information; the social evil; a police telegraph? ing system; photography; and reward for ex? traordinary services. Committees were ap? pointed to consider each of these subjects. On Monday the committee on abandoned youth made a report recommending'the estab? lishment of educational and Industrial schools on a national basis, which was referred to a I committee ol the whole for consideration. Reports were also made on the subject of | transmitting detective information fron ?ne place to another, counselling a more perfect and practical method ot operations, and on the " social evil " subject, which evil, it was thought, should be removed from the domain of the moralist and transferred to police sur? veillance. The St. Louis system was com? mended, and tile report was referred to the committee of the whole. Other reports were read, and a proposition for forming a National Police Association was adopted. The report on the " social evil" was again taken up In the afternoon session, and adopted after an animated discussion; and then, alter the usual vote ot thanks, the convention adjourned to meet in Washington on the first Monday of next June. "The Battle of Berlin." We noticed, some time ago, the publica? tion of a remarkable brochure, "The Battle "of Dorking," prefiguring the future con? quest of England by the Germans, with a circumstantiality of detail and soberness of | comment which created a sensation in that country. This has been followed by "The 'Battle of Berlin,." the object of which is to expose the dangers to Prussia from an ag? grandizing pqj^y, euch as is likely to be en? couraged by recent successes, or, perhaps, to ridicule the fears that are felt for this result. To show the fate that waits on ambition, the author feigns that the Germans deter-1 mine on seizing Heligoland, on bearing of | which purpose the English minister at Ber? lin hurries home to England. War ensues. France, nuder the Due d'Anmale and Gam? betta, is inclined to increase its crops rather than retrieve its lost territory, and pledges itself to a strict neutrality. The war is be? gun, and very soon there is a revolution in Germany, and a republic is declared-Jacoby and Leibhardt coming to the front. The Emperor fleeB from Berlin, and Field Mar? shal Von Moltke, Generals Von Boon, Von Fulkenstein, Von Steinmetz and Von Wer? der, as well os a host of minor notabilities, are taken prisoners, and, refusing to swear allegiance to the republic, are placed under str'ct confinement. The Council of the Re? publican League for awhile holds all power. There is a determined civil war between tbe i : forces of the republic and those which still | follow the fortunes of the Emperor. A force of troops-British, Belgian and Daten-| crosses the frontier as tbe civil war waxes., warm, and the Republicans celebrate its j j arrival. Aseries of victories is the result; I Lord Napier, who is in command, being able I to mingle business with pleasure, but liking * ' to take the business first. The Emperor of ( Russia, from motives of his own, takes Em- , peror William's side, and sends over a horde of Cossacks to help bim to regain bis throne They concentrate on the eastern frontier, and thus comes about the battle of Koenigs? berg, often called tbe battle of Berlin, be? cause of the tremendous issues that were there decided. The Hohenzollern dynasty, that bad consolidated so vast a power, was there made an end of, and whilst Republi? canism reigns in Europe the erewhile Empe? ror of German}', "in a little villa near Mel? bourne, only nominally in tbe custody of "the Government, meditates upon the/re ?verses of fortune. His aged eyes look "apon a New World-the Old World, which "he did so mucb to disturb, bas passed from "his sight forever." Things just as startling as those in this ex? travaganza have followed tbe French de? signs upon the Rhine. It is to be observed, however, that tbe Emperor William, in bis late address at the opening of the session of | tbe Reichsrath, said that the foreign relations of the Empire were entirely satisfactory, and tbat there was no cause of anxiety In any quarter. So that the "Battle of Berlin' may be more remote than the "Battle of ? "Dorking." Minority Representation. The people of Pennsylvania decided at the recent election to call a convention for revis? ing the State Constitution, which, with an amendment or two-such as that wbicb pro? vides for the election of judges by the peo? ple-adopted without the aid of a conven? tion, has stood the test of - whole genera? tion. The journals Of the State are already suggesting work tor the convention in ad? vance ot the election of delegates; and in particular are urging attention to the ques? tion of minority representation, which is probably as important a subject as is likely to erjage the deliberations of the body. This is fortunately a measure which can be considered upon its intrinsic merits, inas? much as it can have no exclusive party bear? ing. While no one party can be benefited by it more than another, all parties may well unite in the material reform wbich it con? templates of rendering representation more just and equal than is possible under the ex? isting system. Pennsylvania is entitled te the credit of having introduced, and to a limited extent given practical effect to this reform. It was through the persevering and truly patriotic efforts of ex-Senator Bucka lew that the experiment was made in the local elections, at the place of his residence, and which has been repeated with so much satisfaction to the people With such aid as Mr. Buckalew's sound judgment and experi? ence will afford, it is hoped that some plan will be devised by the Pennsylvania Conven? tion for a successful introduction of the sys? tem which will commend it to general adop? tion. A British Republic. A letter from George Potter has recently been published in the London Times, in which the merits of a monarchy and a republic are compared. Such a document, published lu England, in the early part ef this century, would have caused the imprisonment and pro pable conviction of treason of the writer, und of the proprietors of the Times. Mr. Potter advocates a republic as theoretically the best government for Great Britain, but admits that the monarchy, as established under Qneen Vic? toria, la perfectly satisfactory to most intelli? gent Englishmen. He speaks kindly of the Queen, for which act of courtesy he is severely censured by other members of the Republican party of Englahd. Mr. Potter, however, is not sure that the successors of Queen Victoria will be fit to reign. He thinks that the mon? archy might survive if the House ol Lords were made elective, many of the present hereditary members being, in his opinion, en? tirely disqualified as legislators from their evil courses oime. The Church, he also argues, must be disestablished, the ballot adopted, and electoral districts of equal population created for the selection of members ol the House of Commons. These are Mr. Potter's views, but Great Britain, at the present time, approaches very nearly the condition of a republic. The Queen reigns, but does not govern, and the Prime Minister, whether Liberal or Conserva? tive, rules, by virtue of his majority in the House of Gammons, and can pass measures over a hostile vote in the House of Lords, either by the exercise of executive power or by the threat to create Peers. The disestab? lishment of the Irish Church, and the aboli? tion of the purchase of commissions in the British army, f>y Mr. Gladstone, are sufficient proof that in England the real authority and power are entrusted to the Premier. The Charleston Election-Sound Doc. trine from a Radical Paper. [Prom the Columbia Union.] The writ of Mandamus In the Charleston election case was summarily disposed of Sat? urday evening. Judge Graham very properly figured the matter down to two points, the first of which was the singular fact that the contestants had failed to produce the protest ; secondly, the Supreme Court, In the case o? Pillsbury and others, had decided that the City Council of Charleston had no right to pass Judicially upon the validity of an election. These points Btated, there was no case before the court. The matter came to an end as if the bottom bad been knocked out, and the many prominent men of the legal fraternity of Charleston departed gleefully. We trust that those dissatisfied Republicans, who were un? willing to abide by the decision of the people at the ballot-box, are now satisfied o? one thing, and that le, that contesting seats, where there are no legal grounds, is an up-hill busi? ness. All true Republicans ought to fee) grati? fied with the result of Saturday's work. ^ostcttcr's Sitters.

Have you tried my "Fancy Chop" Young Hy son TEA, generally accorded by all Tea Con nols - tenn at the best in this market, and told at the low price of $160 per pound t Have you ever drank a cup or my Donarra ? If you buy such Tea elsewhere, I'd advise yon on the score or economy to try mine, as I guarantee it to be all pure Tea, and not the combination of Tea and foreign mixtures generally sold in thia market at that price T It will be worth the tune consumed to can and examine the varied stock of GROCERIES, CROCKERY, FRENCH CHINA, FANCY GOODS, TOYS AND TINWARf, now in Store, by no meant my complete Stock, but still wen assorted and quite extensive. It afford! me great satisfaction to be able to state that, while a few storekeepers make a cer? tain article a to-called specialty, and offer lt at low figures, I endeavor to make a specialty of everything In my stock in the matter or quality and cheapness, and thus stand a better chance of affording satlsraction generally.
