Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO.. No. 140 East Bay. Charleston. S.O. - ? . THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1871. NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold closed yesterday at lOjalOj. -In New York cotton closed Arm at Ui cents; sales 2925 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed strong; uplands . 9$a9|d, Orleans 9jd; sales 15,000 bales. -At a second meeting in New Orleans to ad? vance the scheme of building ?ron barges for river transportation, several $10,000 subscrip? tions by insurance companies were reported. -The Jews of Chicsgo have given the use of one of their synagogues to the Sunday school ot St. Paul's Church until its vestry ls rebuilt. -Country merchants in Alabama are begin? ning to adopt the rule ot buying no cott n in less quantities than a bale-the object being to break up petty thelts ol the stapl<. -The Messager Franco-American of Satur? day publishes numerous signatures to a peti? tion, which went by the steamer Washington, asking pardon for the Communist General Bosse!. -The cultivation of tobacco is spreading io North Carolina, especially west or the Blue Ridge, which region ls found to be highly adapted to the production ot the liner quali? ties that bring the highest prices. -A Down-!lost paper alluded to an emluent citizen as -la noble old burgher,* proudly lov? ing his native State;" which neat little com? pliment came from the compositor's hand reading, "a nobby old burglar prowling ? around in a naked state." -A Prussian engineer has, lt ls said, In Tented a machine which will mantilacture ice without chemicals, merely by compression and expulsion o? air. A machine makes two tons of ice per day, and the capacity zan be Increased to twenty tons. * ~^-Go vernor Bullock, defending himself from the outcry against him, denies that he bas profited to any material extent by the pecula? tions in which he took a hand. "I had to wink at the stealing around me," he says, "and pretend to take my share. If I hadn't done -no, the knavish carpet-baggers and scalawags with whom I was forced to associate would have stole.! me bodily !" -Only a lew days before the great fire, the .president ot one ot the largest of the English Insurance companies (the Imperial, ol Lon? don,) was in Chicago, with a view of estab? lishing an agency there, but he was so im? pressed with the precariousness of the situa? tion that he declined to yield to the temptation. "I cannot do lt," said he; "you have some fine buildings, but you have them surrounded by very bad ones. The first time circumstances combine against you, your whole city will burn up." This experienced underwriter had hardly time lo get out of the country before his pre? diction was terribly verified. -The Bois de Boulogne, the famous park of Paris, lu Its devastated parts, lt is reported,.is to be replanted with lorest trees of tineen years' growth. This plan ls remarked upon In the French Journals as something wonderful, but trees of even older growth have been transplanted both In Englaud and America. The only point to be considered is the cost of the operation. In England, Hie Duke of Devonshire moved several full grown oaks from a distance to the magnificent park sur? rounding his castle ot Chatsworth, at an ex? pense of $5000. The rich manufacturers of Blrminghamtand Manchester have also adorned their newly acquirer estates with matured trees, regardless of cost. -The Governors of New England and the Northwestern States will meet in convention at Detroit, on Wednesday, the 29th day of No? vember, fur the purpose of Inducing Congress to take measures for the construction of a continuous water and steam navigation route of maximum capacity from the Mississippi Vailey arouud the Falls ol' Niagara to the American side, thence by the way of Lake Ontario, the River St. Lawrence, Lake Champ? lain and the Hudson River, by the nearest, cheapest and best route to the Atlantic ocean; and that Congress shall have exclusive con? trol ot all the works along the proposed route, so as forever to regulate the rates of toll and i and transportation thereon. -The most determined suicide of whi:h we have heard lately is that of cn? Lafayette Fisk, in New York, last week. It appears i that, for several days previous to his death, he exhibited symptoms of aberration of mind, and Wednesday morning appeared violent. His wife dressed herself to go otu, when Fisk followed; but falling to overtake lier, he re? turned tc- t??s room, and, procuring a fcuife, stabbed himseir in the neck. Then, taking u pistol, he shot himself In the breast, and thea rushed to the root of he house, which Is four stories high, and '.-.'aped to the pavement, lull? ing upon h'.s head, crushing the skull, and causing instant death. Tue first knowledge his wile had of the dreadful occurrence was when she rein med home a few hours later. -To Judge from present appearances, in? land navigation will close very early this year. The recent "cold snaps" seem to have warn? ed the boatmen and shippers ou ihe lakes and ccaals Ulai they must prepare to close their buBiaes8, lor this season, before many days. The bulk of shipments of graiu East from the lake ports will i obably cease about the 25th instant, alter which time but little will be shipped. It ia expected that the gruiu busi? ness on the lakes will close a week earlier than last year. Tais i?, however, not altogether due to thc threatening weather ; the trade has not yet recovered from the blow it received by the Chicago lire, and the shipments by the lakes and canals which yet remain will not be nearly so large a? usual. The merchants of the rising city are confident, however, that at the reopening or the trade next spring they will more than make up for what they and their city have lost by the late disaster, and even now efforts will be made to keep the lake, and canals open fur navigation as long as pos? sible, to accommodate much freight, besides grain, which is already ou its way irom and to the Wesr. -In two ?ale cases of app ?cation ty wemen lo beaimi.ta! to the bar ot Ill-hois, has the Supreme Court ol that State decided against the admission o? women to the legal profes? sion. The first i nuance was that of the edi? tress of the Chicago Legal News, who ls spoken of as a gifted and accomplished per? son, well versed in law; and the second, and more recent, is the court's refusal to admit to practice a Miss Alta Hulett, a law student In Rockford, who ls described as a "young lady of superior talents and attainments, and well qualified to enter upon the profession of her choice." Miss Hulett had previously been ex? amined for admission to the legal practice by three lawyers, who certified to her ample quail cations. Of course, the sex of the applicants was the ground upon which was based the re? fusal of the Supreme Court to admit them to practice. Whatever may be the opinion on this subject, justly held by mother-sons, it seems a matter of regret for the ladies con? cerned, that all their studies, resulting in a successful preparation for their chosen, if not natural, avocation in life, should end io naught. THE NEWS will be published, as usual, to-morrow-Friday-morning. Tbe Financial Show. Our Columbia correspondent telegraphs that Governor Scott will "show in bis forth "coming message" that the debt ol the Stale does not exceed thirteen million dollars. Let him do it. We remember that he showed last Septemoer that the debt was only $5,528, 564, and that he showed a year ago that the debt wa3 only $7,665,90S. Perhaps- he will now be good enough to show how thc debt has risen, in twelve months, from $7,000,000 to $13,000,000, and why bonds were primed to the amouat of $28,000,000. We want Governor Scott to show, if he can, that the State debt is only $13,000,000, and if beean whittle it down to $10,000,000 we shall bo all the better pleased. But what he shows in his annual message must be capable of veri? fication by disinterested persons-not office? holders. To show that millions of bonds are printed, but not issued, is not enough. The State officials must be ready to show the bonds. Thc Conversion Bonds. The statements of a correspondent of THE NEWS touching the alleged fraudulent issues of Conversion bonds are certainly worthy of consideration. If the Ring are innocent ihey can easily prove iL But if they remain si? lent they must expect to be considered guilty. It seems to us, moreover, that it ought not to he exceedingly difficult to discover a vio? lation of tLe law which would allow bond? holders in other States to Beek a remedy in the Federal Courts. One action at law, founded on hard facts, would eilher cause the culpable officials to flee to Europe, or would leave them in danger of a worse fate than bas befallen Tweed and his fellows. But, at present, we are groping in the dark. We have no such basis for our attacks as waa famished to the New York Times,during the anti-Tammany war, by the convenient O'Rourke. If the statements already printed can be made the m tana of prosecuting and convicting the Ring, why do not those mem? bers of the legal fraternity who control daily newspapers in this State give the public some notion how they may proceed? There has been talk enough. We want-Action ! The Death of Mr. John Hassell. We announce, with deep regreL the death of Mr. John Russell, which took place at a late hour on Tuesday night. Mr. Russell was born in Charleston, In 1813, and commenced bis business career in the book-store of Mr. Beal, the predecessor of Mr. Samuel Hart. His fondness" for literature led him to apply himself assiduously to master? ing the details of hts profession, and about twenty years ago Le began business on his own account in the store in King street now occupied by Messrs. Carrington & Co. Soon afterwards he purchased a store on the west tide ol King street, which became, in the course of years, one of the landmarks of | Charleston. This, Indeed, was the Globe or the Cocoa Tree of the South Cirolini litte? rateurs. Here they gathered to gossip about Elzevirs and black-letter; the latest discove? ries in the world of science; the poem) fresh lrom the fervent brain of those who are now Immortal; the romances, then all new, which will be remembered while men speak the English tongue. Nor was Russell's the haunt ol only the big-brained associates of the uni? versal society of letters. The young girl and staid matron, eager lor the literary novelties of the day, sought out Mr. Russell, asked bis guidance in their quest, and-fellowed his sound advice. It was, Indeed, a pleasant baiting place-a calm, quiet spot-In ihe midst ol ihe bustle of King street. For several years Mr. Russell had as co? partners his two half-brothers, Edward and James Jones. Tne firm^ot which Mr. Bus Bell was the moving spirit, became noted for its enterprise, and after the business had fallen under his exclusive control, Mr. Bus? sell was confessedly the most successful book? seller lu the South. Mr. Russel! was the founder and proprietor of Russell's Maga? sine, a publication ol great merit, which was suspended at the end of three or four years. From bis press, also, came a number ol the works of South Carolina aulhors. Among these we may uamf: Hie Rev. Jas. W. Miles's work on Theology, Miss McCord's translation ol Bastiai's Sophisms of Protection, and sev? eral brochures by Mr. Wm. Hy. Trescott. The business operations of Mr. Russell were, as they deserved to be, veiy profitable, and when the war broke out he was the posses? sor of a mo lest fortune. It was his Inten? tion lo retire from the active pursuit ol his profession, but the war came on, frustrating many a well-considered plan, and, ut its close, Mr. Russell found himself compelled lo begin anew the hard battle of life. The losses he bad suffered produced a depressing effect upon his mind, and, we doubt not, hastened his death. The success which attended Mr. Ris?ei!'s career, and the universal good-will which he enjoyed, are lamiiiar fact; <n Tue community. As we have already said, he was devotedly attached to literature in all its forms, and his reputation spread far beyond the borders ol his native State. Ouiy four ur five months a^o Mr. Tiiibner, ?he eminent London publisher, told the writer that he know Mr. Russell well, and regarded him as one of the most accomplished bibliopoles in the United States. Mr. Russell was, besides, a highly attractive man. Genial and generous, amiable and pure hearted, he enjoyed the confidence ol all his fellow-citizen.". He had not an enemy in ihe wide world. Nor did he fail in bis duty to his country. His age prevented him from taking the field, but he served during the war as the adjutant of a batta?ou of Reserves. What he had to do, lhat he did with all his might. We confess that we caa hardly realize that the bright eye, the somewhat bowed form and ihe familiar face will be seen of men no more. Mr. Russell seemed lo be a part of Charleston ; a man Identified with its happy days and Its hours ol adversity ; a man whom all loved and whom all might trust. Charles? ton, in these days of trickery and deceit, can Ul afford to lose a citizen so upright, so gen? erous, and so true. Xtw Books. JosncA MAKVEL. By B. L. Farjeon. Author ol "Gril." New York : Harper &, Brothers. 1871. A common-place work rarely finds its way into Harper's "Library of Select Novels," aDd Joshua Marvel is one of the best and most at? tractive novels in the collection. The plot is natural, and, at the same time, sufficiently In? tricate to excite the curiosity of the reader. The incidents are exciting while fairly within the bounds of the every-day Hie of romance. And, although it deals with the short and sim? ple annals ol' the poor, the work is free from the remotest hint of coarseness. Upon the character of Dan, the bird-tamer, the author has lavished all the resources of his art, touching and retouching the creation of his laney until it stands forth as a sweet yet sol? emn picture of the uses* or adversity. And Minnie, to whom much is forgivtn because she loved much, and the peaceful Ellen, and gen? erous-hearted "Jo*' will have their warm ad? mirers. The poor player, and George Marvel -Joshua's father-are sketched with a vigor? ous hand. The whole novel is full of life and action, and although it may Beemthat some ol' the characters bear a shadowy likeness to others which had flitted across the pages of the master who lies in Westminster, they are so born again as to be worthy ol a new name and history. Joshua Marvel is a charming novel, and should be highly popular. For sale at Holmes'e Bookhonse, corner of King and Wentworth streets. Pp. 176. Price 40 cents. MT WINTER IN Cern. By W. M. L. Jay. Au? thor of Shiloh. New York : E. P. Dutton A Co., No. 713 Broadway. The author, leavlDg to others statistical ta? bles and political discussion?, Opens to the reader the doors of Cuban homes, and allows him to watch the Inner currents of Cuban life. The manners and customs of the people of the Island are described in a manner both piquant and picturesque, and, in spite ol her disclaimer, the author does ample Justice to the gorgeous tropical scenery of the brightest jewel In the Spanish crown. Ol the many descriptions of Cuba which have been published this is, to us, the most lively and attractive, aDd if there ls a dull chapter in the book we have not found lt. From New York to Cuba is a trip of only four or five days, and the change of scene is greater by far than in racing from America to historic England, or the enchantments of the Rhine. Cuba is a thing of beauty which we have at our very doors, and, in the author's words, "a much longer Journey would not "take you into a land richer in all that is con "tained in that pregnant word-/omo7i.'? They who have visited Cuba will read this book to recall to them Cuba's goldeness and grace ; they who have not seen, In her splen? dor, the Gem of the Antilles will read it that they may know bow great a pleasure ls within the reach ol those who have the lime and means to travel.
