The New York World thinks that this ls due la part to the large production or the mines and, the absence of strikes either at the mines or along the routes of transportation, and in 'part to the fact that many persons, afraid of monopolists, laid io their winter's supply in July and August -We learn from the Wilmington Star that Mr. Sinclair, of Lumberton, has publicly de? clared his intention to bring suit against United Slates Marshal S." T. Carrow for al? leged forgery. Sinclair, we understand, states that on a certain occasion he borrowed one hundred dollars from Carrow; that subse? quently he received through that functionary the appointment of census-taker for Robeson County. He performed tho duties required ot bim and forwarded to the department at ' Washington a statement of the amount due him for bis service?; that a check for the amount was subsequently forwarded by the department, through Carrow, of which he re? ceived due notification; but Sinclair slates that Carrow, instead of forwarding him the check, as he was iu duty bound to do, forged bis (Sinclair's) endorsement upon lt, drew the amount called for on its lace, deducted the -??? hundred dollars which Sinclair was due him, and forwarded the balance to his address -Thtfi Meridian, Miss., Gazette has an ac? count of a cowardly and unprovoked murder thal was recently committed at Artesia by a lawless and infuriated mob of Radicals, both .whites and negroes, the victim being a harm? less citizen named Lee. It appears that about two thousand persons bad assembled near the railway depot to hear speeches from two Radi, cal orators Damed Lewis and Bliss. While the latter was in the midst ot a violent harangue, Lee walked from a hotel near by to the speakers' stand for the purpose of listening. He was a stranger in the place, and In some way suspicions of his "loyally" began to be whispered among the crowd, which Boon became turbulent and riotous. Perceiv? ing that there was danger of personal lojury, Lee was endeavoring to depart, when he was set upon by the yelling assemblage, with guns and knives. One blow of a sabre cut a iearlul gash In the back ot his head, which alone would have killed bim. Only one ot the shots fired at him took effect, but that was enough. Not satisfied with this, the cowardly assail? ants kicked and trampled upon the body after lt was lifeless, and then fled in every direction. It is established by the testimony of responsi? ble eye-witnesses lhat Lee was in no manner Interfering with the meeting, and he was known to have been entirely unconnected with any p n't leal quarrel. -The suggestion of the Missouri Republican to the effect that the national Democratic par? ly should make no nomination for President, but attach its powerlul organizaron as a bob I to the tall ot the political kite which diBaffect ed Republicans may construct in case of j Grant's renomination, is not received with ? favoi- ?a any quarter. The Republican itself is the only Democratic journal of influence in the partj or the country which countenances the proposal in the remotest degree. Such journals as the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Indianapolis Sentinel, the Chicago Times, and others ot weight in the West, where the matter is chiefly discussed, scout the proposed surrender as an absurd and visionary scheme, repugnant alike to honor and to common sense. The Chicago Times styles it a "crazy departure.'' and ridi? cules the idea that the Democratic party is un? able to furnish leaders lor lhe battle which in either case lt would have lo fight by itself. It ls tar Irom probable that the Democrats ol Missouri are ready to accept such a disposition ot their political fortunes; aDd, as for the party elsewhere, the Times is correct when lt says that, while furnishing ninety-nine per cent, of the voters of the proposed combination, it would prefer to supply at least one per cent, of the candidates to be voted for. -Parisian correspondence throws more light upon the popular reaction in favor of Na? poleon. The result of the recent elections was a surprise to many sanguine and short? sighted Republicans. The Bonapartlst vote was not as large as that party expected, but at the same time t was twice as large as any? body else expected. The most striking point in these elections is that the Legitimist vote was very small, and the Orleanlst vote not counted at all. One of the main results, there? fore, is that the field has been nar? rowed down to the contest between the Imperialists and the Republicans. The lormer gain adherents every day. A cor? respondent relates an occurrence which illus? trates the present Btate of public sentiment. A party of women were makiDg purchases in a shop. "Alter all," said one, "If things go on in this way two months longer, they'll have to call back the one they have affected to despise so much." "Yes," said another, "say what they may about Napoleon III, he was good to the poor. For my part, the sooner he comes back the better." Public talk has a great effect upon the French, and immediately every one in the shop was eager to say a good word for the Emperor. The onerous taxes levied by the Republicans, whether necessary or not, cannot be borne by the people. They see that they are poorer and not so well governed, and natu? rally long for a return ol the old, pleasant, prosperous days. JW The State Finance*. The carefully weighed assertions of the New York World, in regard to an over-issue of the bonds of the State of South Carolina, have excited an uneasiness which will not be removed by any explanation, or promise of amendment, which Governor Scott and bis financial coadjutors may vouchsafe to make. There is, as we said yesterday, no confidence in the honesty, or even the good intentions, of the gang of adventurers who bold the strings of tbe pnblic purse. From tbe very beginning of their career they have calmly ignored every other consideration than tbeir own profit. And if tbey have,.besides the extravagances which are positively known, made a gigantic stroke, in the shape of an unauthorized issue of twenty million dol? lars of State bonds, they will have done no more than was expected of them. In No? vember, 1869, when tbe debt of tbe State waa officially declared to be SC, 183,349, it was ia reality more than $9,000,000. The State officers, even theo, omitted from tbeir t accounts tbe past due Fire Loan bonds amounting to $484,444, and tbe $2,700,000 of State bends, signed up and in tbe bands of tbe Financial Agent. Last Muy the debt of tbe State was officially announced to be only $7,665,908, but it really was nearly $10,000,000. The State officers, at that time, omitted from tbeir accounts the $2, 200,000 bonds beld by Mr. Bampton; $400, 000 ol which bad been sold by him, how? ever, subsequently to tbe making up of tbe Comptroller's disingenuous report. Trick? ery and prodigality, with a keen eye to the , main chance, have been tbe characteristics of the official financiers of the State; but it , is hardly to be doubted that, without the stringency io the money market caused by the Chicago fire, they would have contrived to scratch along for some months to come. The breakdown is sudden and complete. Whether the Ring have, or have not, swin? dled the State to the tune of twenty million?, tbeir credit is gone, and few persons will be willing to invest a dollar in the carpet-bag bonds of this State They who are bona fide holders of those bonds had belier keep them. Nothing is to be gained by throwing honestly acquired bonds upon a weak and staggering market But the public will not be in a burry to come in and buy tbe bonds. That is sure. And the end of all this may be a thorough investigation of the financial condition of the State. We may soy, how? ever, at the start, that no investigation con? ducted by Governor Scott, or any of his offi? cers, wilt have a feather's weight with this people. If the Ring have not done this thing, if they have not issued any bonds which the law does not authorize, we must thank their moderation rather than their public virtue. They have had the power; and Governor Scott admits that twenty miliion of bonds were actually printed. Why ? The taxpay? ers of the State had already given formal notice that they would not recognize the Sterling Conversion bonds asa binding obli? gation. Why were these bonds printed in the face of so solemn a warning? What need was there of any conversion, unless for the purpose of legalizing and covering up fraudulent issues which could not in any other way be kept dark ? It is even reported that the "twenty million'' bonds are printed with the names of the State officials upon them-that they are, in fact, all ready for a I convenient market. ! That Mr. Kimpton has been a costly insti I tution to the State of South Carolina, no I one will venture to deny. It was pointed I out by the Taxpayers' Convention, in Lay last, that the interest add other charges apon the balances due Mr. Kimpton were at the rate of 17 per cent, per annum, with? out the agent's commission. The charges of Mr. Kimpton for 1869- 70 amounted to $159,974; without including Mr. Kimpton's commission as agent, the rate of compensa? tion not beiDg agreed upon. And if the re? ports current yesterday were approximately correct, a fearful debt must still be due this "Financial Agent." It ia stated that Mr. Kimpton charges five per cent, for buying, five per cent, for Belling, and five per cent, for endorsing, besides hiB claim for remune? ration as agent But we are not informed how much is to be charged for obtaining, on the credit of the faith of the State, the money with which the Ring bought up the Green? ville and Columbia Railroad. Nor are other of the secret transactions of the part)', in all their naked deformity, as yet exposed to view. We most wait and hope. The revelations made in New York will pass over the whole country. They will at least, show that the funds and public credit of the State are at the mercy of persons who are wholly unwor? thy of trust. The negotiation of more bonds-genuine or fraudulent-will be well nigh impossible. And next year, at the polls, the people of the State may, by one gigantic effort, crush out of official existence the plundering demagogues who live by the death of the State. The Elections To-Lay. Elections take place to-day in New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Min? nesota, Illinois, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Virginia. Illinois elects two Congressmen, both of whom will be Republicans. Last year the State gave a Republican majority of 20,000. Mississippi and Virginia elect Legislatures only, the prospects of the Conservatives being particularly bright in the last-named State. Massachusetts elects a Governor, the expectation being that Mr. W. B. Waeh burne, the Radical candidate, will defeat Mr. John Quincy Adams. Wisconsin elects Slate officers and a Legislature, and the contest will probably be close. New Jersey elects a Governor, one-third of the Senate and a fall Assembly. LaBt year the Repub? licans had 3423 majority; this year they may expect to be beaten. Minnesota, which elects State officers and a Legislature, is counted on by the Republican?. Mary? land will elect the Democraiic candidates by sweeping majorities. But the main interest centres in New York, where the different tickets are badly cut up. The Democratic State officers are confidently expected to be elected, although, perhaps, by a reduced majority. hosteller's Cillers. "?ariHE MARTYRS OF" NEGLECT lt is not too much to say that tens of thousands who are now suffering from biliousness, indiges? tion, constipation, periodical fevers, general de bUlty and nervous affections, who might be re? stored to perfect health within a month or less by the use or HOSTEfTER'S STOMACH BIT?
