VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1826. _CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1871._EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE ABBEVILLE FAIR. * -. A CREDIT TO THE COUNTY AND STATE Inspecting the Stock-A Grmnd Dis play-The Crowd of Visitors-A Warn lng to Charleston and Columbia. TO TUE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. ABBEVILLE COURTHOUSE. October 30. Chance, or some other leader, brought me to this place last week in time to attend the Abbeville Agricultural Fair, and I am de? lighted lt did so, tor that fair was a splendid success, and would have been creditable to the State. Wednesday morning, the first day of tbe fair, was gloomy: the lowering clouds emptied themselves in occasional showers during the day, which prevented a very large attendance; but I knew that was the day to examine for myself, so I rambled to the grounds, and enter? ing the gates turned Immediately to the right and began seeing for myself. First came the porkers-and there they were in perfection. Imported Berkshires, beautiful grades, the plump Essex, lazy Ches? ters and fine natives were there, of all sizes and ages, from ninety days to two years, and Irom sixty pounds to nine hundred. If these people don't live well lt Isn't because they don't and can't raise hogs. Further on were the sheep; the ugly, but valuable curled horn, tight-wooled Merino, the square South Down, and the long-legged native were the varieties on exhibition. The cattle display was u.. 20m moa-splendid milch cows, fatted beeves, ^^whose quarters seemed almost too lat for ^rf^oks, handsome heifers, patient oxen, man? ageable bulls and otVr classes of Ayreshlres, Durhams. Brahmins and natives filled up ?^ery stall on the grounds. ?assing beyond these and continuing my .ambles through a romantic looking grove, across a pretty stream that affords water enough for the occasion, I came next to the horses, and the row of stalls over two hun? dred yards long is filled entirely, and several splendid animals are hitched out in the grove. There stands a noted stallion, whose beautiful colts are in more than a dozen stalls, and not one of them Inferior. Just beyond are matched horses from Kentucky, and adjoining counties In the State; further up are single horses, saddle horses, jacks, muies, mares and colts, and. each and every one of them would be pronounced "hard to beat" out of the fair grounds. Somewhat jaded from this stroll of our two hours, I repaired to the fair oullding expect? ing to get a seat; but to my surprise there was scarcely room for the crowd to stand, noch less luxuriate upon seats. Bales of cotton, hay and wool filled one end of the lower story, while upon counters running through the mid? dle and on the sides of the house were placed bags ol every conceivable ;..\ln; and under the counters, and wherever space could be found, were strewed the handsomest collection of vegetables I ever saw. Nearly all the Sum? mer vegetables, over fifty varieties of garden seeds, exhibited by two or three, potatoes as big as milk pigging, turnips that wouldn't get In a peck measure, and pumpkins that would furnish shells as large as batteaus, literally -covered the floor ol the hall. But these were * ot hali, for up-stairs there were bacon, lard, hams, butter, (Oh, didn't I wish some of your City folks could only see that butter '.) pre serves, pickles, syrups, cakes, breads, and every Imaginable article of cooked food that would tantalize a poor hungry devil, as I was about that time; but just behind the railing they had a sharp, keen-eyed, freckle-faced lit? tle fellow that seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he would neither let a man touch, taste, nor smell. So, on I went among the paintings, and patchwork, and needle? work, and quilts and blankets, and enough of ladles' handiwork to make as good a dry goods' store as King street could want. When I came down stairs I actually felt be? wildered, and couldn't tell whether my stomach or eyes had suffered moBt; and, as lt to provoke a tired man, Just as I stepped out o? th** door below, a great Shanghai rooster, almost as big as I was, stretched open his Immense bill and crowed in my face, seeming to say proudly to me: And-what-did-you see-up-t-h-e-r-e i I wished I could have told him; but I couldn't, and didn't. The display of poultry surpassed all else, as fine as all else was. There were games enough to whl^ out the State of Georgia; Bramahs, Crev? Cours, Shanghais, and half a dozen other loreign names; dunghills, domes? tics, and every other kind that anybody ever had; turkeys of all sizes and colors; ducks that qua-qua-ed, and geese that squalled and 8queeled with every possible note. Well, about this time I began to think of hunting my hotel, and ruminating whether I had not made in a lew short hours one hun? dred per cent, on my Investment of fifty cents in a gate tick. t ? I concluded I had. The next day was the day. By sunrise, bug? gies, carriages, wagons, ox-carts, wheelbar? rows and vehicles without names began to rollin, and by 10 A. M. the population of Ab? beville village had increased about five-fold. ?twas a beautiful sight to stand on the fair founds a mile out of town, and watch the continuous stream of vehicles and pedestrians as they wound along over the hills towards the grounds like a variegated worm. This un? broken line was in constant and unceasing motion from 7 A. M. till noon, and a finer looking population could not be found In America. Handsome, well-dressed men, beau? tiful women, genteel and orderly freedmen, all^togetber, created a tout ensemble I have never seen before. What'a pity Grant could not have been there, instead of at Bangor ! Tbe exhibition to-day was magnificent. Prom 10 A. M. till nearly 3 P. M., the "ring" was occupied by some variety of stock, and there was not an instance where a horse "walked over the track." Every entry had lis competitor, and the contest was generally very close. Ten of the finest saddle horses I ever saw, all ridden and handled well, were on the track at once. The display was so fine, the directors authorized two premiums to be given, though the list called for but one. The second premium was awarded to a Bad, who, I'm told, declined being second best. Well, li so, he is simply a contributor to that amount to the society. Clever fellow. Bul, Mr. Editor, I am tiring you and your readers, and will only say further, I've not told you bait. In the afternoon, I asked one of the officers what the receipts of that day were. He replied, " I ''an't tell exactly, but I under? stand we sold over 1300 tickets." To estimate the crowd, you must remember that every stockholder carried himself and family in free. There could not have been less than 2500 people on tbe grounds that day. Pretty good ^Uor a county fair. The next day, over one thousand dollars' worth ot premiums were distributed. I am .told they were furnished by our friend Whllden. and they did him credit too. Charles ion, with her splendid buildings and beautiful grounds, and Columbia, with ber heavy invest? ments and meddlesome council, had better both be looking to their laurels, or ia less than ten years Abbeville Village will be the agricul? tural capital of the State, and the seat of her State fairs. PASSENGER. A NIGHT OF TERROR. The Tornado of Fire In Michigan-The Experience of a Man who Staid to See lt Oat-Taking Refuge In a Well. [From the Detroit Post.' Allison Weaver, who reached Detroit irom Port Huron on Wednesday, had a narrow and curious escape from being roasted alive in the north woods. Weaver ls a single man, about fllty years old. Up to two weeks ago he was at work for a man named Bright, ten miles from Forestville, as fireman for a shingle mill. Two or three days before the approach of the flames, which eventually destroyed that section. Bright and bis family lett lor Forrest ville, and the next day all the men employed about the place either fol? lowed his example or made haste to reach their homes. On leaving Bright informed his men that the fire would sweep that way, and warned them to lose no time in makins; their escape. Having no property to lose or family to care for, Weaver determined, as he says "to stay ttnd see the circus out." meaning that he Intended saving the mill if possible. He has a stubborn sort ol a spirit, and the fact that, everybody else went induced him to stay. As soon as the men left he set to work and burled all the provisions left In the house, and during the day also buried the knives and other light machinery o? the mill, as well as a stove and a quantity of crockeryware. There was a plentv ol' waler in the vicinity of the mill, and he* filled severa! barrelsful, besides wetting down house, mill, stock and every? thing which would burn, scattering several hundred pailfuls of water on the grounds around the buildings. When night came, and the fire had not ap? peared, he negan to jeer his absent comrades. But his self-conoeit soon left him. About 10 o'clock the heavens were so light that he could see the smallest objects around him, and there was a roaring in the forests, which sounded like the waves bealing against rocks on the shore. He began to suspect that he would soon receive the visit projected, and ac? cordingly made preparations for lt. In lev? elling up the ground around the shingle mill, earth had been obtained by digging here and there, and Weaver went to work and dug one of these pits deep enough for him to stand up in. He then filled it nearly full of water, and took care to saturate the ground around lt for a distance of several rods. Going to the mill he dragged out a four-Inch plank, sawed it in two, and saw that the parts tightly covered the moutn ot the little well. "I cal Related it would be tech and go,'' said he, "but lt was the best I could do." At midnight he had everything arranged, and the roaring then was awful to hear. The clearing was ten or twelve acres In extent, and Wea? ver says that for two hours before the fire reached him there was a constant flight across the ground of small animals. As he rested a moment from giving the house another wet? ting down, a horse dashed into the opening at fair speed, and made for the house, where be stopped and turned toward the fire. Weaver could see him tremble and shake In his excite? ment and terror, and felt a pity for him. After a moment the animal gave utterance to a snort of dismay, ran two or three times around the house, and then shot off Into the woods like a rocket Not long after this Are came. Weaver stood by his well, ready for the emergency, yet Cu? rious to see the breaking tn of the flames. The roaring increased In volume, the air be? came oppressive, a cloud of dust and cinders came showering down, and he could see the flames through the trees, it did not run along upon the ground, nor leap from tree to tree, but it came on like a tornado, a sheet of flame reaching from the earth to the tops of the trees. As it struck the clearing he jumped into his well and closed over the planks. He could no longer see, but he could hear. He says that the flames made no halt whatever, nor ceased their roaring for an Instant; but he had hardly got the opening closed before the house and mill were burning like tinder, and both were down in five minutes. The smoke came down to him powerfully, and hip den was so hot that he could hardly breathe. He knew that the planks above him were on fire, but remembering their thickness, he waited till the roaring or the flames had died away, and then with his head and hands turned them over and put out the fire by dashing up water with his hands. Although it was a cold night, and the water bad at first chilled him, the beat gradually warmed it up until he says he felt very comfortable. He remained in his den until daylight, frequently turning over the planks and putting out the fire, and then the worst had passed. The earth around was on fire In spots, house and mill were gone, leaves, brush, and logs were swept clean away as If shaved off and Bwept with a broom, and nothing but soot and ashes were to be seen. After the fire had somewhat cooled off, Weaver made an investigation, of his caches, and found that considerable of the property buried bad been saved, although he lost all his provisions, except a piece of dried beef, which the fire had cooked as in an oven with* out spoiling it. He had no other resource than to remain around the place that day, during the night and the greater part of the next day, when the ground bad cooled enough so that he could pick his way to the site of the burned village. He was nearly twelve hours going the twelve miles, as trees were tailing, logs were burning, and the falling timber had in some places heaped up a breastwork over which no one could climb.

Rosenzweig Fourni Guilty and Sen? tenced to Seven Years' Imprisonment Closing Scenes of the Trial. The trial of Jacob Rosenzweig, in New York, for tbe murder, by malpractice, of Alice Bowlsby, in tbe celebrated trunk mystery, was concluded Saturday, by the conviction and sentence ol Rosenzweig to seven year3 at hard labor In the penitentiary. Towards the close of this case the deience attempted to prove that the body found in the trunk wa9 not that of Alice Bowlsby, that the handker? chief lound in Rosenzweig's house was not hers, and that Ihe woman did not die from malpractice. A certain "Mrs. Dr. Bowlsby," of Brooklyn, no relation to the Patterson Bowlsby family, attempted to show that the bandkerchlei found in Rosenzweig's bouse be? longed to her daughter, A. M. Bowlsby, who dropped it there, but the girl herself did not put In an appearance. Rosenzweig then came upon tue stand, and swore most vigo? rously in his own b jhalf. He said that he did not know Alice B iwlsby, and had never seen that trunk in his I ">use, and had never per? formed any operation there. On his cross-ex? amination be denied that he had admitted performing abortions. This closed the case lor the prisoner, ADDRESS FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. Howe, for the defence, called the atten? tion ot the court to the point that no proof was given of any woman with child. The recorder thought that it was abundantly proved uv Dr. Cushman and tbe other medical witnesses that the abortion had been commit? ted. Mr. Howe. Then your Honor holds that the fotus was a child ? Recorder. Yes, an unborn child. Mr. Howe. Then I call on the district attor? ney to prove at thia stage that Alice A. Bowls byV^ alive in this city on the 23d of August. Recorder. That ls the great question lor the jury to pass upon. Mr. Howe. I now ask that your Honor direct an acquittal, on the ground that they have not proved that the operation was unnecessary lor preserving the life ot the woman. Recorder. That ls affirmative proof, to be shown by you, if the jury are satisfied the ope? ration was performed by your client. Mr. Howe then proceeded with his address, contending that the identification of the body by the vaccine mark, the scar and filled tooth was Insufficient. The handkerchief wa9 shown to belong to another Ml98 Bowlsby; the pads were lound, with bloody garments, ac? knowledged to belong to Mrs. Bosenzweig. How, then, was Rosenzweig Implicated ? By the testimony of the carman Pickett, who never saw Rosenzweig before, had no reason for taking particular notice of him, and only Identified bim "to the best of his belle!." On the other band were the Samuels brothers and others, who swear to the prisoner having been attending to a case of citolera at the very time Pickett says the prisoner placed the trunk on his car. It might have been that the corpse was sent there by the seducer, Walter Conk llng. Counsel concluded by calling on the Jury to give the prisoner his right, the benefit ol the doubt which exists. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY delivered the reply for the prosecution. The audience were deeply moved by the touching picture he drew of the miserable condition ol the seduced girl. Driven to desperation, she sees the advertisement that Dr. Ascher does business of this description in Amity Place. She finds the man who. for gold, takes the lives of unborn babes, and sometimes ol their mothers; the blood vessels are torn and lacer? ated, and she leaves the place a corpse, doubled up, naked, in a trunk, and her wretched seducer, without walting tor accusa? tion, puts a pistol to bis head and takes that, awlul leap lu the dark which lands him in eternity. THREE DEATHS LAID TO ROSENZWEIG. At this point Judge Garvin turned around, and with dashing eyes and upraised arm, and a voice that struck terror into the cowering prisoner, continued: "And there, gentlemen, sirs the man for judgment before you twelve men, who is the author ot these three deaths -the mother, the child, the seducer-and all the punishment thl9 monster can get when you find him guilty is seven years Tn State's prison. Would that the legislators who make these laws could sit at this trial and see tears that we have seen here; and then we would ask them lt statutes of this description are not to be reformed so that lt would be held to be murder, not manslaughter, to perpetrate of? fences ot chis description." The address closed at half-past 1 o'clock, and a recess was taken for fifteen minutes. ? TBE RECORDER'S CHARGE. Recorder Hackett recited the statute under which the prisoner was Indicted, and directed the Jury that to Justify conviction the evidence should establish, free from reasonable doubt, that on or about the 23d August, In the City, County and State of New York, the prisoner used some Instrument, or other means, on the person of Altee Augusta Bowlsby, being a woman with child, with felonious intent to produce a mlsoarriage; that is. that it was not necessary to preseve her life, and that lt directly caused her death. The recorder then remarked that it was singular how Dr. Bowls by's daughter should have one handerchlef only marked, and that though living lu this city, she was not produced to identify that handkerchief, and prove bow it was marked. He also directed the jury to take Into account how the breastpads, so clearly identified as made and worn by the deceased, were lound In the cellar ol the prisoner's house. DAMAGING QUESTr.'Nd. His Honor then directed the Jury to ask themselves why was not the prisoner's daugh? ter Rosy produced, to give him the benefit of any explanations. Why did the prisoner not speak to the carman, but, without a word, left toe trunk on the car, which, however, the prisoner denies ? Why was the body doubled up, when, os we kaow, life could scarcely have departed, and the stiffness ol death had not set In? Who was lt that packed ber up, naked and seemingly with no more considera? tion than would have been given to a dog? If a crime had not been committed, why was the trunk checked for Chicago, and why did Netta, who hired the car, mysteriously disappear ? His honor cautioned the Jury against being swayed by sympathy lor the mother and sister of the deceased, and concluded as follows : "The case ls a sensational one, as far as this community is con? cerned, but with that you have nothing te do. The cr;me ot which he is accused bas been practiced from the formation of the world, and will continue to be practiced as long as human nature remains as ll is. It can only be restrained by potent legislative penal? ties and the vindication of the law. The poor girl's story is shortly told. Trusting, betrayed, she and her seducer sleep Hie sleep that knows no waking. Your duty ls to calmly weigh the testimony, and render a verdict according lo your oaths." The jury then retired. TUE VERDICT AND SENTENCE. After an hour and a half the Jury returned into the court, which was at this time crowded to excess. Clerk. How say you, gentlemen, is Jacob Rosenzweig guilty or not guilty ol man? slaughter in the second degree? Amidst breathless silence the foreman answered: "We find him guilty and recom? mend him to mercy." Mr. Howe requested the clerk to poll the Jury, which was done, and Mr. Sullivan moved for sentence. Clerk. Stand up, Rosenzweig. Did you ever learn any mechanical trade ? The prisoner looked eiupidlv at the clerk and made no reply. Captain McClosky (court-keeper). What is your business ? Prisoner. A physician. Clerk. What have you now to say why judgment should not be pronounced accord? ing to law ? The prisoner whispered with his counsel, and then with a gesture of his hands replied: "Your Honor, I ara not guilty." TUE WUOLE 8TORY OUT. The Recorder. Rosenzweig, no person liv? ing knows better than you that on the Wed? nesday the operation was performed with a steel Instrument; on Thursday she was better; and on Saturday, when she got up against your advice, she "got il! and died. Ordinarily I would mind the recommendation ol' the Jury to mercy, but In this case I must Ignore lt, for you deserve no mercy. In my view of the law, in which the learned district attorney differs from me, merely, I believe, on the evidence given In this case, you stand to-day In the atti? tude of a murderer. You sent two human be? ings to their last account, deliberately, wilful? ly, murderously. That ls the law. and under that construction an Indictment should have been found against yon fer murder in the first degree. You would stand now in the attitude of a murderer, and the sentence I would pro? nounce against you would be deatb. I quite concur with the" sentiments uttered by my colleague, Judge Bedford, In regard to cases of this description, and shall unite with him In a recommendation to the Legislature that the law be changed, and this felonious and barbarous prac? tice be ended. Tou are a man of uncom? mon nerve, as bas bean exhibited in this trial. I never saw a man who stood the remarks of the district attorney and his sweeping denun? ciations so utterly unmoved. You are an edu? cated man. having practiced your profession abroad before you came here; but you are a dangerous man. I sentence you to seven years in State's prison, with hard labor. The audience loudly applauded. The pris? oner received the sentence with a stolid look, and very coolly, to all appearance, walked back to the pen in the rear. Rosenzweig was subsequently removed to the Tombs. The corridors and staircases of the court building, and the sidewalk in Chambers street, were crowded with spectators, eager to get a look at the convk ted abortionist as he passed from the court-room to the prlsor. van In the custody of several ofllcers. TBE CHANCES FOB COTTON. The Fluctuations of the Staple In New York-The Agricultural Bureau on the Extent of the Crop. A Kew York letter of Friday last says : Many of our "bulls'" In cotton, who have been disposed to operate heavily on the short crop theorv, have been thrown into a great lrisk by the excessive receipts at the ports. They are astounded) and as the end of the month approaches they have to settle a little difference of two cents a pound against them, which makes a sad inroad upon their bank ac? counts. Still there is no disposition to repeat the lolly ot a year ago, and run prices down; in lact, the bears were yesterday very industriously covering their contracts and securing their profits, thus checking the decline. The pres? ent position of the colton market has Its coun? terpart in the hop market. It is known that the hop crop is not more than one-third of an average, and prices have been corresponding? ly advanced, but at the high prices now ruling everybody wants to sell. The consequence ls that the receipts of hops at this market tims far this season have been actually in excess ot the corresponding period of last season. It ls to be presumed that planters want money, and will market their crops rapidly so long as prices approach satisfactory figures. The present decline in cotton does not sur? prise me. An early speculation on short crop reports always works disastrously by check? ing export and consumption, and stimulating the deliveries at the ports. I do not appre? hend, however, any further decline. Renew? ed tailing off In receipts at the ports would ex? cite Liverpool. AJWashlngton telegram, of Monday, says: The following deductions are made from the official report of the Bureau of Agriculture just issued. The reports contained therein from the several counties of each cotton State show an average falling off in the quality of the crop as compared with the crop ol 1870 of over thirty-three per cent.; to the decrease must be added the decrease in average ot one million three hundred thousand acres. The crop has matured earlier by from two to three weeks than lt has for several years. Let? ters from many sections, dated Octo? ber 10th, show that one-half the crop has already been gathered. To 'his cause may be attributed the large receipts at the several cotton ports. It ls, therefore, but reasonable to suppose that by the 15th of November the greater portion of the crop will have been gathered, and that on and after that period there will be a large failing off in receipts, as compared with last year. In con? clusion, after a careful analysis of the report of tho Bureau of Agriculture and other semi? official information received here, the present crop, under continued favorable circum? stances, ls estimated at two million four hun? dred thousand bales. Sbould the beavy rains which have prevailed on the Atlantic coast for the past two days extend to the Gulf States, a decrease of this estimate mun ensue. TBE F LIO BT OF BULLOCK. [From the Augusta Chronicle.] Rufus B. Bullock, who bas been, for three years past, filling the Executive chair of this ?tate, has resigned ; and Benjamin Conley has assumed the role of Governor by virtue of his position as president of the Senate. The immediate cause or causes which have Influenced Bullock to resign are not stated. The almost Immediate assemblage of the Legislature, composed, as lt is, of a large majority of honest, upright men, who are determined to have a thorough ven? tilation and exposure ol the monstrous vtllan ies of Bullock's administration, has no doubt been the controlling cause which has produced this sudden but not altogether unexpected resignation. The recent (allure of Kimball ha?, no doubt, precipitated this gratllylng action on the part of Bullock. It has been suspected for some days past that bonds of the State were issued and paid to Kimball largely In excess of the amount authorized by law. Indeed, thia iratidulent issue ol bonds has been, within the last few days, virtually admitted by Bullock's political friends, and the disclosure of this monstrous fraud, In all its villanous deformity, was sure to have been made In a few days. We thought last week, when Bullock left the Stale so sud? denly and under the shallow pretexts which were given by his friends, that he would not return. He has had a good time-has well feathered his own and the nests of his part? ners in traud and crime, and now, when the light ls about lo be let in on his robberies, he flees the State, and resiens the seals of office to one of bis own henchmen.

Between this editor, Mr. H.igh Hastings, and the editor of the Tribune tti.;re ls not a little very bad blood. Hastings dissents from the popular Idea of Greeley's character, and does not hesitate to say so, generally, about twice a day in his paper, the Commercial Ad? vertiser. He does not regard Mr. Greeley as "eccentric but honest,'' but Insists that he ls corrupt and a hypocrite, and yet very shallow. Some ancient quarrel over the division of the Legislative plunder at Albany set these two excellent old persons at the unsavory task of calling each ot her thief and liar. Mr. Hastings having become bondsman for his friend Tweed. Mr. Greeley takes occasion this morn? ing to get In another blow at him. He styles him a "poor devil," and sneers at his pretence of being a superior Republican, while he and his partner. Tom Murphy, are accomplices with Tweed. The nomination of O'Donovan Rossa for State senator was accomplished by the anil Tammany Democrats for the purpose ol catch? ing the Irish vote, which otherwise would be pretty certain to be controlled by Tweed. The "Boss" is popular with the poorer classes in his district, not, of course, because he ls a thiel, but because ne is generous and warm? hearted, and gives away a great deal ot money to the suffering. Probably no man but Rossa could Induce these poor persons to swerve In their allegiance to their benefactor. But Rossa is regarded as a hero. He Is just out of a British jail, where he has been suffering Im? prisonment for attempting to make Ireland lree. He ls in Indigene circumstances and he wants an office. Can the voters who have enshrined him in their hearts turn a cold ear to his appeal ? The district em? braces the lower part of the city, Including the lamons Sixth Ward, almost wholly inhabit? ed by Irish. Tweed had 22,088 majority In the district two years ago. This ls rather a heavy majority to overcome, but It was made up partly of people who are now acting with the Reformers. A great.effort will be made to In? duce all the opposing factions to unite on Rossa. The Tribune warmly Indorses him this morning, and calls upon Republicans to work and vote for bim. Only a little while ago lt was ridiculing him as a Jail-bird, and in? sinuating that his cropped head and striped uniform were deserved. Politics maire strange bed-fellows. Who would have supposed a year ago that Greeley and the Irish chieftain, George Jones, of the Times, and Jimmy O'Brien and Samuel J. Tilden, chairman or the Democratic State central committee, could ever have crawled under the same blanket ? The attempt to get respectability to accept office, even at this crisis, appears to be a fail? ure. Charles O'Conor declines definitely to be a candidate for the State Assembly. Urgent private business is the excuse. It ls always the excuse of rich men, or men of marked ability, when asked to take subordinate official positions ot trust where their responsibility or talents would prove of Immeasurable advan? tage to the public weal. They forget the ex? ample of James Madison who', though he had been a President, did not feel afterwards that he had the right to refuse to serve as a magis? trate in his Virginia home. Among the promi? nent citizens who have received nominations for Aldermen, assistant Aldermen and Assem? blymen, and who will undoubtedly decline, are ex-Mayor Havemeyer, Edward Cooper, (son of Peter,) Alexander Wilder, one of the editors of the Evening Post, Peter Gilbey, the million? aire owner ot' the Gllsey House, Jackson S. Shultz, one of the Radical king pins, General John Cochrane, ex-member of Congress, and John Hecker, the dour man. Some of these are bitter political partisans, but they are all respectable and most of them would not steal. The lecture season has opened for the win? ter with tbe public appearances in this city ot Anna Dickinson and Secretary Boutwell. The strong-minded lady bas grappled with the labor question, and presents her solution of the problem affecting work and capital as her lyceum attraction for the winter. The report? ers say she is dull. Sne will draw fair audi? ences of workingmen, not because what she has to say is popularly believed to be worth a farthing, but because 01 the very incongruous? ness of the woman and the subject. Secretary Boutwell attracts large audiences, but dis? gusts them with the assurance that the in? come tax will be maintained until the public debt is paid. His remarks on this subject at Steinway Hall last night were received with a storm ol hisses. The Democracy, whose re? cord ls popular on the Income tax question, might make a plenty of capital out of the Sec? retary's unpopular decision. The Appietons announce a new book by a Southern lady, a North Carolinian, who has created a sensation lu literary circles. It Is "Morton House," a novel, by the author of "Valerie Aylmer." The scenes are laid In Ala? bama, and the characters are mostly people ot that section. Mr. Alexander H. ?stephens speaks enthusiastically of the ability of the authoress, and a leading editor pronounced the first work to be the best society novel of the day. Some of the most successful of mod? ern American writers of novels appear to be Southern ladies-witness the riches laid up by Marion Harland and the authoress ol "Beu? lah." Broadway swarms with Charlestonians. A walk up the street during the afternoon, or a stroll into the hotels in the evening, brings one In contact with scores of iamiliar faces. The unusual accumulation of your townsmen here is, of course, caused by the prevalence ol the fever at home. Some express no tear of the consequences of returning, others say they are advised by their lrlends to stay away until frost. I fancy this enforced tarrying is not altogether unpleasant to most ot the latter class. New York Is very lively, and the thea? tres afford a plenty ol amusement at night. The weather has been delightful until within a day or two. The Charleston colony can be found scattered along at the hotels on Broad? way, between the New York and the St. Nicholas. In the sample department ot the Grand Central the other evening, an acciden? tal call revealed to my eyes such an unusually large collection ol East Bay and Meeting street bon vivants, that with a Utile aid of the Imagi? nation, I might easily have fancied myself in the Chamber ot Commerce rooms (upstairs.)
