NEWS OE THE DAT. -Gold, at New York, yesterday, closed at 10J, but sold at 10 during the day. -AtNew York, cotton closed firm; uplands 19}c.: sales 4265 bales. -The Liverpool cotton msrket closed strong: uplands 9|a9|d.; sales 22,000 bales. Shipping at Charleston or Savannah OjaityJ. -Matilda Heron, In a card, pronounces false the report of the sceue at DeBar's Opeia House, St. Louis, on the 20th ultimo. " -Mrs. Abraham Lincoln is living in Chicago, in the same bouse with her son, Robert T. Lincoln, in excellent health, though In deep grief over the loss of her second son, Thad? dens. It is her purpose to make an early visit to Jacksonville, Florida, to remain during the . winter. -A St. Louis paper says that the night after the recent eccentric exhibition on the stage in that city, when all the beholders supposed her to be insane, Matilda Heron appeared again in her right mind, and bore henel! rationally and In a lady like and creditable manner. -Bis marcie, lt is said, ls endeavoring to in? duce It J! y to enter into an offensive and de? fensiv? alliance with Germany, in view of pos? sible complications with France, which he de? clares will sooner or later pick a quarrel with . heir trans-Aipiae neighbor, In order to restore > kev lost military prestige. -The Albany (Ga.) News learns that the planters of that section are determined to square accounts. Many of them have failed to make cotton enough to psy out, bpt they are unwilling to struggle under the incubus ol debt any longer, and are turning over mules and ether properly in liquidation of claims against them. -Dr. Von Doilinger, the heal of the Ger? man anti infallibility party, hus published a card in the Munich papen?, in which he not only den.es ever having conversed willi any gentleman connected with the American pre?s, but utterly repudiates the sentiments ascribed to him in the letters ol' correspon? dent of certain New York Journa's. -A Washington letter sayB : "Several gen? tlemen of legal lore have carefully examined the question, and come to the concludion that the Ku-Kiox law after all does not fcive the President the power to. suspend the writ of habeas corvus. A r?solution will therefore be introduced in the House this wee.;, calling on the President to kform Congres?, specifically, under what section of the act he buB suspend? ed the writ ia South Cart lina." -Tn? people and the authorities of Cincin? nati are trying to secure the next national conventions of both political parties for their City. Unfortunately their hotel accommoda? tions are too meagre to accommodate such a gathering as either ol these would attract. Cincinnati bas but few very good hotels. All considerable conventions held lhere of late years have been made uncomfortable by this want. -The message of the Governor o? North Carol na shows the debt of that State to be thirty-four millions eight hundred thousand dollars. The people are unable to pay the in? terest on this sum, and the Governor recom? mends the sale ol the railroad interests of the State to prevent repudiation, bul at the same lime says no financial policy should be deter? mined upon until the facts ccunecied with the debt are ascertained, la order that some con? clusion may be reached as to the disposition of the llabiliiies of the Slate. After the mt s sage was read a resolution was offered in the House and referred, redling that as the debt waa created by strangers, elected under bay? onets, wno voted moneys to railroads aod otherwise embezzled the funde 01 the State, a provision should therefore be made for repu diatlag the entire State debt. -The family name of the Earl ol Chester? field, whe has just earned the immortality of a cable notice of his death, having died of the same disease i rom which the Priuce of Wales seems likely lo recover, was Stanhope. He was the seventh earl of the same title, and was born In 1831, making bim ut the time ot Lis death forty years of age. He snc.eeded his father to tbe tl le in the year 18G6, and never having married, leaves no coi to enjoy the title which will, in consequence, descend to lils cousin, a Mr. Geoigd Philip Stanhope. Tho most interesting feature connected w.tn the deceased and his relatives of the Stanhope bloodisthat the dandy sh Phillp Downes Stan? hope, Earl of Ches erfleld, who wrote the famous cynical and heartless letters to his son upon'the rules ol deportment, was a member of the same family. Apart trom this, the Stan? hopes are sufficiently respectable, ns the fami? ly was of some importance as lar back as tho reigns of Henry III and Edward I. -A Wellington letter to the Baltimore Sun says : "These Republican senators and mem? bers who have an i ved here, and who have expressed any opinion, do not expect that mnch important business will be done this ses? sion beyond passing a oi l reducing taxation and the general appropriation bills. The sup? porters of the administration expreB) their confidence In thc nomination and re-election of Grant, and declare that moat of the Presi? dent-making for ihe session will be confined to the Democratic side. The anti-Grant Re? publicans do not appear to develop much strength in the House; Indeed, lt is said there . are not haifa dozen who can be counted on. while Messrs. Sumner, Schurz and Tipton are the only senators positively known in the Senate to be against Grant's renomination. The Democratic senators are very geuerally opposed to joining bands with the anti-Grant men until the latter show some positive or? ganization that would warrant a coalition on general Issues before the people. It is evi? dent that there ls to be no precipitate action, on the part ol the Democracy in Congress on the Presidential question, and it ls doubtful if anything positive results from the caucus to be held early io the ses? sion. The feeling at least now appears to be that the lesser should come to the greater." -Now that the horses and carriages, the Jinenand eisner sen ?ce?, beJoaiiiog to the I ex-Emperor's estate nave been nearly or all fold, the attention of the acquisitive i at Paris ls devoted to the sale o: "ie Im] wines, which is now in progress at the Lo The great quantity takes the public by prise, for lt was announced that what wit Prussian occupation, the siege of Paris an Commune, the Imperial cellars bad been ty well cleared out. On the contrary, catalogue mentions one thousand bottle! fifty-seven casks. Included In the list an ward of twelve thousand bottles ol a claret called Montrose, ten thousand bc of Chateau Leoville of 1858, two thousac Branc Mouton, and nina thousand of Cha Lafitte of the same year, which connolss esteem highly; besides this, there are a six hundred bottles of Chateau Tquem or which will be eagerly sought. The stoc Burgundy is far less abundant; of the hig marks, such as Chambertln, Romanee and Vongeot, there are only a few hundred bol There are scarcely more than one thom bottles of champagne. The collection of R wine is extremely meagre, with the excet of Johannisberger. Of this rare viutage t are advertised five hundred bottles fi om Tuileries, two hundred and five from : tainebleau, and fl ty-one from Compeigae. addition to all this, there are fine old r and sherries, with a goodly quantity of bra and a very little absinthe-enough in aggregate to stupefy one ?Uh astoalabn and make one's mouth water. i /' The Combat Deepen?. .*>Veh&ve reason to believe tbatmovern? now afoot, whose nature cannot, at presi be made public, will lead to the shattei of the Columbia Ring, and may send guilty leaders to keep company with Tweeds and Connollys of New York. There bas been, on the part of the t payers, abundant feeling, but very li practical action. Every other man ba plan of his own, by which a fraudulent d may be shaken off and the iniquities of rulare be fully exposed. The newspap have dished up debt statements, with sa and without, until the public have sicket of figures, and plead for something fr and new. There was danger, indeed, tl the agitation against the Ring would so si mer down, that the culprits might put oe bold face and laugh at the opposilh What the people required, as we bave sho from the beginning, was a compact body able gentlemen who would examine t diff?rent plans of action, choose the be and, as representatives of the tax paje, carry on the fight. To them inform?t^ could be given which cannot properly printed in the columns of a newspape They could consider such suggestions the skill and experience of distant co-labc era might enable them to ui??ke. lu lin they would be the head and centre of tl movement; a body from which the publi might expect the work which, in Ne York, was done by the famon3 Committee < Seventy. It is plain that the task would l an unthankful one. Only an exalted sen; of public duty could leal any set of privat gentlemen to undertake IL We did bellen however, that there were citizens o' Soat Carolina who wi "ld come to the front an shoulder the public barden. And the even proves, we thins:, that we were not mis takeo. We have every reason to believ that, through the agency of treExecutiv Committee of the Taxpayers' Convention the people may count on obtaining such i ooancil of war as they both needed and de aired. The prospect for smashing the Mm is Letter and brighter than at any tim sinos the work of digging out ihe truti began. ? We are confident that the public will giv< to whatever committee may be appoint ad their full confidence and united shpport. A set of officials who are entrenched in thc State Capitol cannot, in an instant, bc whipped, disgraced and driven forth, with toe brand upon their foreheads. The struggle will be hard and long, bnt when a break is once made in the enemy's line, the result ol the contest will not stand in doubt We undertake to say thu, when the Ring are attacked in earnest, proofs of their ras oalUy will pour in with a rapidity which viii not leave Hie offenders a ghost of a chance io escape. Charleston County. Tho presentment of the Grand Jury in re? lation to the fiscal condition of Charleston County fairly takes one's breath away. A sufficient tax bad, it was thought, been levied, and, nevertheless, there'are outstand? ing claims against the county amounting to one hundred and forty-five thousand dollars. It seems to us that the financial affairs of Charleston County need investigating quite as badly, in their degree, as those of the State. _ _ Exit Scott. Our special correspondent informs us that it is reported in Radical circles, at the State capital, that Governor Scott is preparing to flee from his "beloved State." It will, in? deed, be a happy day when South Carotina goes Scott-free ! Aad, perhaps, his Excel? lency might have, in a week or two, as mach difficulty in obtaining bondsmen as is experienced by the contrite Connolly. Just at this time Ohio may be a safer place than the Palmetto State, and the Continent, where Garvey lurks, would be better still. Grant on Amnesty. President Grant, in bis message to Con? gress, after volunteering to prejudge the cases of the so-called Ku-Kl ox prise a rs who are now on trial, seems suddenly to relent, and suggests a general removal of disabilities under the Fourteenth amendment, as a sure way of making everybody happy. How this plan would work in the other Southern States we will not undertake to say; but in Sooth Carolina, at least, there is, even at this time, no lack of honest and capable men who are already eligible, under all the amendments, to public office. The difficulty with us is, that we cannot possibly elect them. The mighty majority of intelligent sable citizens' In this State have been BO thoroughly drilled In party tactics, by the handful of white rascals to whom President Grant has handed over the control of our State Government, that there is but scant hope of a change for the better, as far as the ballot box is concerned. That'd what's the matter. _ W The Proof in a Nutsbell.^^^ The demand of the taxpaying public for a thorough overhauling of tho official fiscal transactions of the State Ring is founded upon the official statements ol those wor? thies, and not upon suppositions reports of hostile committees or the sensational arti? cles of the opposition press. It is not neces? sary to make a display of figuring, or to foiind ingeni?os conclusions upon hypothet? ical statements ol bonds printed and bonds destroyed. "Without going beyond the pub? lished and formal declarations of the Ring, we have a sufficient justification of What is said against them. The story is summed up in three hues : Total debt ol the State, ac- . cording to Comptroller Nea gle'sreport, October 31,1870.$ 7,G65,908 00 Total debt of the State, ac? cording to Governor Scott's report, September 20, 1871..% 9,528,564 00 Total debt of the State, ac? cording to Treasurer Par? ker's report, November, 1871.$11,994,908 00 IQ addition lo the SI 1,994,908 reported by Treasurer Parker, there is a debt of $3, 773,000 iu bonds which are held by the Financial Agent as security for loans, making the total debt $15,767,908 ia November, 1871, against $7,665,90S in November, 1870. During the year ending November, 1871, no law was enacted by the Legislature author? izing the contraction of a new debt. We have, therefore, un iocreasj of $8,102,000 in twelve months, without the authority of law. These figur?e, we repeat, are taken from the official reports. They are not guess-work. We contend that the enormous increase of public debt, admitted by Mes?is. Scott, Neagle k Parker to have taken place, is a prima facie proof of fraud, and warrants instant proceedings against the persons we have named. If they are innocent, and, in some mysterious way, have not surpassed their authority, the sooner it ls known the better it will be for them and for the public. WE give up much of our space to-day to copious extracts from the elaborate ar? gument of the Hon. Henry Stanberry in support of his motion, before the United States Court, to quash the so called Ku-Klux indictment?. A full and verbatim report of the argument, from which our extracts are taken, appears iu the Columbia Union. (Eimcaiional.
