NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold closed In New ?ork\ yesterday, at 12|al24 _Cotton closed easier; uplands 18$c; sales 2767 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed steady, uplands PM, Orleans 9jd; sales 15,000 bales. -Pension Agent Forbes has been held to bail in the sum of $25,000, in Philadelphia, and the city treasurer has been arrested on the charge ot defalcation. -Captain William Forrest, a brother ol Gen? eral N. B. Forres!, was shot and kiiled about two weeks ago in Texas, on the Rio Grande. No particulars of his death have been received except that he was slain ia,a personal ren? contre with some Texau. -The Columbus (Ohio) State Journal says: "A deformed chicken of common breed, the deformity resulting from a broken back, was entered at the MMskingum County lair os a Hungarian ccck of the 'Slavi Magyar breed,' Just Imported, and the Judges, after Inspecting it, awarded it the first premium over one of the finest poultry shows ever seen in the county." -Baron Rothschild's lato exploits on the turf are surprising. When he won the Derby with Favonlus, and with the lace a pot of money, the sporting world admired his great luck. Soon after, with Hannah, be won the Oaks; soon alter again with the same mare, the St. Leger, and now, astonishing to relate, with Corrisande-named after Mr. Disraeli's radiant heroine-the Baron bas won the Czar ewlch. Ia ether words, In one year he has carried off the four highest prizes of the turi. Such a dazzling series of successes is, it is stated, quite without a precedent. -Miss Aanle Dickinson has turned her at? tention from woman's rights, Ac, to the labor question. She Is now going up and down In j New England denouncing the trades unions, labor combinations of all kinds, and Biri kee, I through her new lecture entitled "The Derna-1 gogue among the Workingmen." The lecture, however, seems a bitter attack upon Mr. Wen dell Philips, on account of his vagaries about capital and labor. One sensible Idea she pro mitigates ls that no man has ever lifted him seit to eminence who was not willing to give more than an equivalent tor his wages, or who stopped to count the hours. -No less than four execntlons took place last Friday, two in North Carolina, one In Fio rida, and one In Indiana. At Greensboro', N. I C., Wm. B. Parker, a white farmer, was hanged on that day for the murder of Thomas Prise, a colored man. about a year ago. The crime was committed in a peculiarly brutal manner. J Price had set fire to a bara belonging to Parker, who was greatly incensed ! thereat, and swore that he would have a terrible revenge. Accordingly he seized Price, extorted lrom him a confession, and then set 'our bloodhounds upon him. The wretched victim was soon torn limb from limo by the savage animals, and alter witness- j lng his agony as long as it pleased him. Par ker dhpatched the object ot his hatred with a fence rall. He was rrrested, and sentenced to death. Before the execution he made a par- I tial confession, but remained stolid and indif? ferent until the scaffold was reached, when his firmness forsook him, his knees trembled, and he betrayed every sign of intense agita- I tlon and terror. He addressed the crowd, complaining that his sentence was unjust. Atter this the mask was drawn over his face and he attempted to sit down on the drop, but was forced to stand up by the sheriff, and, while be was groaning and crying, and a tremor was visible in his whole frame, the signal was given, and ia a moment all was over. -An account has already been given in this column of the new political complication in England, arising out of a reported alliance between the tories and the workingmen. It would new seem, from later advices, that al? though negotiations have certainly been going on, no formal union hos been effected, and the several parties whose signatures have been secured are far from a perfect agreement. There ls no doubt that the tories would gladly combine with almost any element In order to j obtain greater powr, but they do not relish the platform which has been constructed for I the Joint accommodation of the peers and pro-1 letariat. The principles included in it are quite liberal, and point to the amelioration or the masses by means of a reduction of the bours of labor, more comfortable habitations, I a better system of education, &c; but tue peers are, apparently, unable to make even this concession, and one of the most iDfluen- ; Hal leaders. Lord Salisbury, Is reported to , fcave rejected the scheme with emphasis. The workingmen are disaffected as well, and the success ot the project ls at present problema!i- I cal. At least the affair will not have beea en? tirely fruitless, Inasmuch as lt has served to ' bring many important questions Into political prominence, and will compel the different par? ties to pronounce aa opinion upon ihem. Al? ready the papers are discussing the new idea with an unwonted vehemence. -It needs uo labored argument to remind Americans of the sad plight in which our ship- j building interest languishes, but it any were needed, a letter from Glasgow to the New York j World would be all-sufficient for the purpose, detailing as it does the growth and prosperity I of this vitally important branch of manufac? ture on the other side of tte Atlantic. From the statements ot the writer, who, we are told. I ls aa able and well-informed Amerlcao engl- I neer, It would appear that ship-building was J ? never more flourishing in Great Britaia thoa it I ls to-day. Oil the 'i hames, indeed, it has al? most entirely ceased, owing to local causes. I; Oa the Mersey, the Humber, the Tyne and the 1 Tweed, a large number of ships are being bulli; but the great centre of this industry ls on the I Clyde. For miles bi.th banks of the river are lined with shipyards, and every yard is full ot ships In various stages ot construction, from the partlally-lald keel to the completed hull. It ls said on the authority of Mr. Tonge, of the firm of Toni'e & Co., ship brokers, ol Liverpool, that there are 5400 Iron steamers now building J la the United Kingdom. This genllemao also stated that the British merci.ams are diverting their maritime trade from sail'ng vessels to steamers as fast as p jssible, tile ct mpletion of | the Suez Canal being tbe great event has awakened them te the increased a tages of steam over sail. The English builders and shipowners have been sagt enough to see and seize upon their opporl for facilitating and securing the vast Ea trade which will naturally seek that chan - Oreat excitement was caused arnon; medical faculty in New York by a long a which appeared in the New York Tribunt alive to the Eclectic Medical College of : delphia. The Tribune alleges that the mons Rosenzweig said he received his dir from that institution, and further alleges for a long time past the college has ha evil reputation for trafficking in diplomas any unqualified persons who are willing t an exorbitant fee if no questions are a In order to arrive at the facts, a report the Tribune entered into correspondence the officers of the college, under an assi name, with ihe ostensible design ol secur diploma without the necessary previous 8 The reporter assumed to be a studei medicine who had pursued o ni j partial course. After considerable correi dence the "student" was referred to Bowlsby, a Brooklyn apothecary, and "professor of gynaecology" in the Eci College. This aspiring druggist, after a i conversation which purported to be an ? nation, but which embraced no ques-ionf any one would have any difficulty in am ing, promised to procure a diploma for the prospectus price of the same beinj $30. The Tribune concludes, therefore, the college is a bogus and viiianous instltu and announces that all tbe facts related a and the correspondence are fully 6ubstai ed by affidavits, which can be produced i cumstances should render their produi desirable._ The Work ls Done, and Well Do? General John A. Wagener and the gei men elected with him ou the second of gust were installed, as Mayor and Alder of Charleston, at noon yesterday, crowd which had assei .bled around the Hall cheered the incoming officers, bat, youd tnis, lhere was no public rejoicing, truth, tho satisfaction of the people was deep and hearty to And full expre3Sioi 3houts and barrans, however sincere, whole city is conscious that a better day dawued, under whose favoring sun c merce will thrive and all Charleston ripen into mellow prosperity. But the I pie know that the work of purification i improvement must be arduouB and slow, i it would be wrong to treat as a party n"iph what ia, in reality, nothing more tl the opportunity of showing the differei between a political administration and < whose only object is to secure and prom the well-being of the whole community. Mr. Pillsbury, in resigning his cffi briefly reviewed the work of his admit tratiOD, and asked that he and colleagues be accorded the credit whi is due to men who, at least, mea well. His words were spa ken as thouj they came from the heart, and it would hard for any who heard him yesterday treat Gilbert Pillsbury as a hypocrite cheat. It bas been our constant desire treat Mr. Pillsbury with fairness. He knov best whether this paper has done him aD i justice which we should always regret. Tl reply of Mayor Wagener was short and t the purpose. We only wish, with him, tin Mr. Pillsbury and bis friends may remain i Charleston loug enough to appreciate tb difference between a partial and prejudice administration and one which has no bighe aim than efficiency, economy and peace. The new city government has the conti dence of the people. There are golden op portunities which it will not fail to improve As the victory waa won without tumult ant ia hailed with quiet thankfulness, so shal the course of the Wogener administrator be marked by moderation, charity and exac fair d<aling. Ia Charleston, for the hrsi tiuio io several years, progressive conser? vatism is OD its trial, and they who kno* the staunch material of which the new citj government is composed cannot fear tlx result. Ta Qaoqae ! About a month ago the Republican State Central Committee held a meeting in Colum? bia, when a committee of five was appointed to draft a memorial to the President urging the removal of Marshal Louis E. Johnson, and the appointment in his place of Solomon L. Iloge, ex-Jaiige and ex member of Con? gres?. Tbe Committee, or their representa? tives, knocked at the doors of the White House, and presented the claims of their ca uluate, bat, strange to say, no change b. 3 bc n made, and Marshal Johnson is still ma1"'? a arrests and discharging whatever duties theEu-Klux law and President Grant impose upon him. Andyet, if ex-Congress? man and ex-Judge H?ge is to be believed, be i3 a better man for the post than Mr. Johnson. As reported by the Columbia Phoenix, Solomon L. H?ge wa3 beard to say that "he boped that the United States troops "engaged in making arrests in the up? country would be fired into by some of the "citizens" so that "?ce" could "fix them" and could "show them ichat hell is." Per? haps the poor people of the up-country, who are harried by deputy marshals and paid in? formers, have, already, a lively sense of that Acberontic condition to which H?ge desires to reduce them; but every deep bas a lower deep, and another turn of the screw would do no harm to the unfortunates whom the H?ges of South Carolina Radicalism would hunt down and destroy. The Columbia Union, to ita credit be it said, repudiates and denounces Hoge's sentiments in no measured term3, and emphatically say3 "the "time ba3 gone by when some men can use "such language as that and be allowed to "go unrebuked." If H?ge made use of that expression-3uy3 the Union-he did it "as "an individua!, and not us the representa "tivear any party, or any class." But we would suggest to the Union that it has stood, and, for all that we know, still stands, on the same level with the adventurers whom it now condemn?. Tue Dinon, whatever ita real sentiments, bas written as malignantly, and as bitterly, aa H?ge can speak" and it baa always been ready to fasten upon the white people of the State the responsibility for the imprudent words and criminal acts of a few lawless characters. The Union says that H?ge is not the representative of a party ora class. We fear that he represents the class to which the Union belongs. Had a Democratic ex-Judge and ex-Congressman spoke of the Radicals as H?ge Bpeaks of the white citizens of the State, it would have been useless for the Conservative press to declare that the Democratic reviler made use of that expression "as an individual "and not as the representative of any party "or clas3." And yet we must know the true sentiment of the Conservatives as thoroughly as the Union can know the sen? timents of the party to which it belongs. For once, both Conservative and Radical papers hold the same opinion. The Colum? bia Phoenix does not condemn Hoge's words more warmly than the Union has done. This is well. It only remains now for the Republican State Central Committee to jus? tify, or withdraw, their unqualified recom? mendation of the wretched intriguer who is ambitious of holdiDg one of the most re? sponsible offices in the State. A PractUal Test. A narrow-gauge railroad is now open from Denver to Colorado City, a distance of sev? enty-six miles, and will 600n be thoroughly equipped for business. It is the intention to extend this line further to Santa Fe, a distance of two hundred and fifty miles south. Ultimately the line will reach through New Mexico to the valley of the Rio Grande, and connect with the new Texas and California Railroad now in process of construction. Before the full completion of this great railroad project some conclusion may be formed as to the merits of the narrow-gauge system, or rather of its adaptability to Amer? ican wants. The line between Colorado City and Denver, when in full operation, will pro? bably solve the narrow-gauge issue once for all, and decide whether it shall be extensive? ly adopted in this country or not. But whatever may be the results of the projected long line from Denver to El Paso, there is every reason to anticipate that the comparatively short line between Denver and Colorado City will be a pecuniary success. It runs through a rich and prosperous mining country, and c.:gbt to command business enough to reniX-r it pro?table almost from the commencement. There are few Western and Southern towns of any pretension that cunnot command sjrficient means to con? nect themselves by means of the narrow gauge system, and we expect that it will ex? ert a very important influence in opening new resources of commerce. Thanksgiving. The Baltimore Sun, in printing the text of President Grant's proclamation fixing the 30th November as a day of National Thanksgiving, remarks : "The President briefly refers to the "calamities that 'some of us' have had, though "he doe3 not specifically mention the confla "grations of Chicago and the Northwest, or "the probably more terrible infliction visited "upon the people ol certain of the counties of "South Carolina by the suspension of the writ | "of habeascorpus in their midst. The President "also refers to the fact that 'we are ot peace " 'with all nations, and tranquillity, with few " 'exceptions, prevails at home.' This is true, "but lt is a very mild way of putting upon "record the terrible evils existing in South "Carolina as the consequence of the preceding "proclamation ol the President, affecting an "acknowledged State yielding allegiance to "the government and being at peace with the "rest of the nation.'' The Heating of Cities. The enforced rebuilding of Chicago has sug? gested various Improvements in cities, among which is that ol heating the entire town with steam in a manner very similar to that by which it was formerly lighted-by means oil pipes running under ground ?rom some cen? tral reservoir to each house, thus doing away forever with the annoyance caused by bad coal, damp wood, kindlings, &c. It may be doubted whether the time ls ripe for so exten? sive an improvement; but when we remember that steam may be forced through these pipes to an Immense distance, with a very slight diminution of heat, and at the rate of seven miles per minute, it does indeed seem as if the day could not be tar distant when a practical application shall be made of what has long been theoretically admitted. ijosteitcr's ?itters.

I N L E Y'S JU CHEAP GROCERY AND HOUSE-FUBNISH 1NG STORES, NO. 193 AND 388 KING STREET, Have yon seen my eight pound SUGAR f Have you tried the Good Table Batter I sell at 25 cents per pound ? Other grocers may endeavor to imitate my Butter prices only to fall most signally. Let lt be remembered that I am the only grocer in Charleston who obtains Butter direct from the New York Dairies, thus saving two profits, those of the wholesale and retail jobber. Have yon tried my "Fancy Chop" Young Hy? son TEA, generally accorded by all Tea Connois? seurs as the best in this market, and toi J at the low price of $160 per pound ? Have yon ever drank a cup of my Dollar Tea f If you buy such Tea elsewhere, I'd advise yon ons the score or economy to try mine, as I gnarantef? it to be all pure Tea, and no: the combination of Tea and foreign mixtures gen .rally sold In this market at that price ? It will be worth the time consumed to call and examine the varied stock of GROCERIES, CROCKERY, FRENCH CHINA, FANGT GOODS, TOYS AND TINWARE, now in Store, by no means my complete Stock, but still well assorted and quite extensive. ^ lt affords me great satisfaction to be able to state that, while a few storekeepers make a cer? tain article a so-called specialty, and offer lt at low figures, I endeavor to make a specialty of everything in my stock m the matter of quality and cheapness, and thus stand a better chance of affording satisfaction generally. A few words to the wise should be sufficient. Most sensible people generally call and s:e for themselves. TO ARRIVE. 360 packages TABLE GLASSWARE 26 packages House-furnishing Hardware.
