Robert Colly er Bays the men who have been thanking God for the burning ot Chicago were "not men who burnt out, you know." -About two-tt?rds of the metal of the Chi- ? cago courthouse bell has been cut efl* with cold chisels and converted into relics by the venerating inhabitants oftbat city. -The Munchausen Jenkins of ihe Memphis Avalanche has written two columns more about the search for De Soto s burled treas? ures, describing a second and successful expe- j dillon, which abounds, like the first, in super natural phenomena. The banters have left for I the East with their wealth of gems, without 11 giving the Avalanche man even a handful. -The public schools in Virginia, three thou-11 sand In number, are principally attended by I colored children. The school houses are own-11 ed by tba whites, who also pay the taxes for educating one hundred thousand colored pu. 11 pus. In commenting on the above facts, the 11 Richmond Enquirer says : "We are the warm I j friends of the system, and want to see our col' J ored population instructed and elevated and I;' Improved in every way." j ] -The Indian Territory is now the scene of j j an animated legal quarrel between t.wo rail- j roads, both ol which were granted permission j to pass through that region. In consequence j I of these quarrels about junctions, passengen j j have been compelled many limes to spend the j ( night on the prairie, in a country where lt ls I Bot safe to sleep without shelter. More recent- j ? ly a line ef stages running Irregularly has J ( been established to connect the two railroads. I -The London Lancet calls attention to the Ii enormous manufacture of the new ? edative I ( drug, chloral. It states that it is sold by tons 12 a week, and quedes 'a letter from Baron Lie- J big, affirming that one German chemist manu- j lectures and sells bali a ton every week. Of j r course, no inch quantity ls used lo medicine, j j and the Lancet seems hair afraid that it gets I into beer; but the London Spectator says j there ls a simpler explanation. Taking chloral 11 ls the new and popular v.ce, particularly I t among women, and ls doing at least as much I barm as alcohol. The drug ls kept in thousands I of dressing-cases, and those who begin its use I e Often grow BO addicted to At that they papa I a their lives in a sort of contented stupefaction. Chloral drunkards will soon be an admitted j variety of the species. I a -Political troubles, lt is reported, have I r{ arisen In Liberia. It ls stated that In 1870 E. I J. Boye was elected President of Liberia for I the period ol four years, and that recently I il Congress has passed an act limiting the term I > of office to two years. Under these clrcum- J stances, lt is Insisted that Roye shall lmmedl- j ately resign, and that a new election shall be j y held. Roye, however, declares his intention j t to serve ont his four years' term, and ls sup ported by a large party of political friends, j * This refusal to resign bas caused very bitter I a feelings among the supporters of Joseph J. I - Roberts, who was President ol Liberia Irom j 184S to 1866, and is now a candidate for the position. At Monrovia, the capital, an affray I ti recently occurred between the two parties, in I f( which the collector of the port, an adherent of Roye, was hilled. j13 -The decline of the Irish deep-sea fish- I fe eries, it is argued, supplies a striking illustra- 11 lion of the disadvantages suffered by Ireland by the absence of home rule. This decline, I ' it is stated, however, has beeu caused by the j e famine ot 1847, and the two following years, j c In 1846, the Irish coast fisheries gave employ-1 ment to 19,833 vessels and boats and 113,073 | 0 men and boys; at the present time there air. employed only 8999 vessels and boats and 38,629 men and boys. In 1852, there were employed 11,789 vessels and boats and 68,863 men and boys. Io 1863, the figures are 11,376 vessels and 48,601 hands. In 1864, the statis? tics give 9300 vessels and 51,000 hands. The j inspectors of fisheries, in commenting upon this state of affairs, adhere to the opinion ex? pressed in a former report-that no improve? ment lu the Bea fisheries can be expected until loans are advanced to a portion of the fisher- j men for the repair and purchase of boats and gear. -The Chicago Tribune gives an animated description of the Bcenes or driving activity dis* I played In the burned district. Workmen are everywhere at labor, delving amid the ruins to reach the old foundation?, that the masons | may set new wall?. Thousands of men and young boya are cleaning, wheeling and piling j bricks, while hod-carriers are supplying them to the masons. Wagons, loaded with lime and lumber, blo:k up the streets, and all classes of | mechanics are working bravely. Broken walla have been levelled, and the tottfrtrg ruins ot once stately buildings have been over? thrown. The removal of safes has ended those really fire-proof having been carried off | by the owner.*, and the others having been abandoned to the collectors or old iron. The days, lt ls stated, seem all too short, and work goes on long alter dark. Five thousand loads of rubbish are shot into the lake basin dally, and thia description of work will continue all through the winter. The man who thinks that Chicago has been destroyed, lt ls argued, h t only to cross the river into the burned district to be undeceived. Labor and skill, directed bj energy and enterprise, lt is said, are work? ing like bees In a hive, and it ls predicted that i when spring comes the desolate places will be desolate no longer, and that from tbs ashes 1 w*r .ve arisen new monuments of industry | ai lalth. -At the Virginia State Fair, at Richmond, ] on tho 3d l nslant, the teat ures of the day were a pigeon- s h o o tl ag match for a fine double-barrel? led gun, won by Hr. B. Mosby, a hurdle race for a sil ver cup by members of the Virginia Hurdle Club, and a troitlog match for $1000. The grounds at the track were well filled with car? riages, and the attendance was large. The race was over four hurdles, entries as IOIIOWE: CaptalD Philip Hoxall rode William Micbanx'B four-year old sorrel mare Bell Monte, by Pltuet; Sprigg Campbell rode C. M. Bolton's seven-year old bay stallion Gipsy Chief, by Placet; Thos. Brouch rode Dr. D. S. Watson's three-year old bay colt Bingamin, by Orlon; Benjamin Palmer rode Colonel Hobson'a four year old gray gelding, by Granite; Captain Hampden Cbamberlayne, of Petersburg, rode William Roane Ruffln*s bay stallion Nameless? by Deucalion; Mr. Graves, o? Orange, rode his gray gelding by Emperor. Mr. Haxall was thrown from his horse Just alter clearing the second hurdle. His fall was severe, but he fortunately sustained no Berious injury. Mr. Campbell was declared the winner of tbe pre? mium silver cup. He made the circuit In two minutes and two seconds. In the trotting match for $1000 there were four entries: Huntress, owned by Goldsmith, ol New York; General Millford, ol Richmond, and St. Law? rence and Partridge, of Baltimore. Huntress won the purse In three straight heats, making the first mlle In 2.37, the second In 2.264 and the third in 2.30. St. Lawrence and Partridge were distanced in the second heat, and M?l? lerei io the third. /The State Finances. The disclosures of the New York World in regard to the Stale finances are not as rich in facts as we could wish. Omitting the inferences and suggestions of the World, we find that it charges : 1. That the Ameri? can Bank Note Company have printed bonds of this State, for Mr. Kimpton, to the amount cf $20,046,000, which is admitted to be true by Governor Scott. 2. That Mr. Kimpton brings claims against the State, for commissions and services, to tbe amount of some $4,000,000, and that his commissions, of various kinds, upon all bis transactions, amount to about fifteen per cent. 3. That the interest due in October on the State bonds is paid in New York, but is not paid I in Colombia. 4. That tbe State bas received from Mr. Kimpton only tweoty-eeven per cent, of the amount of tbe loane which be made to- the State, the remainder being re-1 tained as commissions. The general state? ments of the World, as to the extravagance or the State Government, and as to the ra p id i ty with which the State officiais have I srxown, from penniless adventurers, into J pursey millionaires, are too familiar io South Carolina to need repetition here. Now, examining the four points which the World makes, and admitting both the power and the unscrupulous character of the State officials, we do not Bee that we have any I :ause for wild alarm. The attention which is llrected to our financial affairs will make it ; usier for the taxpayers to compel the pro-1 lactlon of a true exhibit of the State debt- I in exhibit made by gentlemen who know heir business, ana wuuin, nut w?ing con-1 tected with the State Government, the peo- j ?Ie ?re willing to trust. And we shall find I t lees difficult than ever before to give effect I o purely defensive measures for the protec-1. iou of the property-holders of the State, .'his is as far as it is prudent to go at pres nt. There is canse for vigilance and firm leas, but not for a panic We are not ready 1' o assume, for the sake of political effect, or 11 s a newspaper sensation, that there is a raudulent issue of $20,000,000 of State I londs. There may be an over-issue, bat it I, a not $20,000,000, nor a fourth of that sum. . for do we believe that the State owes Mr. I Cimptoo $4,000,000; nor can we admit, jost et, that the expenses of the last session of : be General Assembly were $600,000, when re know that only $400,000 were asked for, nd that only $135,000 were actually appro- ?' (Tinted. 1 We have not, we repeat, a particle of con idence in the State officials, but it is beet or the public interests to move with calm- ' tees and deliberation, and upon a full 11 ;nowledge of the facts. When we know ; he whole troth-and we may connt upon mowing it before long-it will be time nough to talk of resorting to the last meas ire of defence open to a plundered and not iver-wealthy people. Where the Shoe Pinches. There is always an awful hullaballo io ?oath Carolina about election times, caused >y the efforts of the Radicals to make their Northern brethren believe that the white )eople of the State use undue influence to nake persons whom they employ vote for lecent candidates. But the New Yorkers vere doing yesterday, if we may credit what | .he Times has said, the very thing which is light treason, or thereabouts, wheo supposed JO be practiced by au o ver-taxed South? erner. The Times Baye : "A good many merchants who have resolv? ed to close their stores on Tuesday to give the men in their employment an opportunity to vote have given them notice that while they admit every man's right to vote for Democrat or Republican, they question the right to vote Tor f/tiev?." This is a bold avowal that white mea were to be compelled to vote as their employers would have them to vote; yet if anybody in the South were to attempt thus to control a negro's vote be would be arrested and tried, as for a hanging matter, before some Fede? ral judge. The law is plain and emphatic, and we invite the New York Democrats to bear it in mind. Here is an extract from the act "to enforce the right J of citizens" Radical law, mark you : "Section 5. * . If any person shall * . attempt lo prevent, binder, control, or Intimi? date any person from exercising or tn exercis ing the right of suffrage, * * by means of | * . threats of depriving such person ot em? ployment or occupation * * he shall be deemed gui.ty of a misdemeanor." A Noble Bequest. We understand that the late Buckingham Smith, of St Augustine, bequeathed his en tire property in treat for the benefit pf the colored people of St Augustine. Dr. 0. Bronson, who is constituted by his will the trustee, proposes to dispose of Mr. Smith's handsome estate in that city, valued at $25,000. and to apply the proceeds, with other property, to the establishment of a hos? pital for the colored people, or an asylum for the aged and orphans. It is said that Mr. Smith left about thirty-five or forty thou? sand dollars, an inheritance which the needy colored people of St. Augustine will long value with appreciative gratitude, and the benefits of which they will be likely to re? ceive for maDy years to coue. We believe that this is the first instance ia the South of an act of this character. Mr. Smith was a Georgian by birth, but a firm and unwaver? ing Union man throughout the war. Pondicherry. We have already mentioned the rumor that Bismarck is chaffering for the cession of -the French colony of Pondicherry, in India. During the treaty negotiations between France and Germany this proposition was mooted, but the French regarded it with 60 much disfavor that the e abject was dropped. It is not unlikely that the new conquests of j Russia in the East have stimulated the Ger? mans to renew the proposal. It is now eaid that Bismarck proposes to give Metz back to the French in exchange for the new India j province, which contains 107 square miles [ and a population of 125,000. The town bas 40 000 inhabitants, and is eighty-five miles from Madras. WE PRINT to-day the letter cf an occa Bio nal Columbia correspondent in reply to the statement of Sheriff Frazee that the ac? counts of the condition and treatment of the prisoners in Richland jail, published in TUE NEWS, were wholly incorrect financio].
