Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO.. No. 149 East nar. Charleston. S.e. TBUKSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1871. NBWS OF THE DAT. -Gold closed yesterday at 9|. -In New York, cotton closed qu'vt; ur.lands 19ic; sales 3950 bales. -In Liverpool, Cttton closed active .md firmer; uplands 9|tL; Orleans 10?d.; sales 22,000 bales. -There were two hundred and th'rty-three dealts from smail-pox iu Philadelphia lost week-an increase of eighty ov the previous week. The number of new c .?es was three hundred less than ihe week b.fore. -We quote from a Philadelphia paper : ".Chicago was probably the most populous city In the world previous to the i onflagraiion. Some fourteen millions of ter '.lesiitute cul? lens' have passed through this cit v in the past three weeks. Yen can't throw a cit in any di? rection a ithont hlttlDg a 'sufferer.' The dodge is becoming threadbare." -Ex-Governor Yance, of North Carolina, senator elect from that State to tl e United Stales S?cate, authorizes the stater tent that he is only walting to get a vote on th? petition for the removAl of his disabilities, ii this be unfavorable, he will resign and leave the Legislature now in session in Rale! ;h free to elect another senator to tbe seat. -Several of the leading re tail tratesmenof New York were interviewed by a * Torld re? porter on Saturday, his object being to learn the state of trade and the prospects of ihe holi? day season. In almost every case complaints of dullness were made, and the conclusion ls that New York ls considerably poorer now than it was at the corresponding peilod of last J year. -A Washington telegram siy.?: ' In view I of tbe unexpected recommendation of the I President in support of general amnesty, a movement will be made to report and pas* such a bill before the 21st of the month, which j ls the date on wblcb me holiday recess will commence. Et-Governor Holden and other extreme Southern Unionists are ic la vor of such a course." -Gold declined In New York yesterday to j 9j, which ls i per cent, below the lowest point ever reached elnce the ck se of the war. The decline ls accounted for by the refunding of two hundred millions of the public debt, by which,according to otbie reports Irom London, no disturbance was created in the English I money market. Oa the contrary, the lettie-1 ment having been an ti dp ned, the loan ad? vance i to 90$ per cent. gold. .'. -On the 29ta ultimo waa seid the farm call? ed Hazel Rain, ia Prince William County, Va., (better known as the Chino farm,) containing 550 acree, belonging to B. T. Ch inn. (or eight dol?ais per acre, ro Mrs. Mary A. Downman. executrix. This farm is a portion ot the plateau upon which were fought the ant and second battles ot Manassas. When the war commenc? ed it was under a high sw of improvement, and the dwelling hons? upon lt was one of the finest In this section cf the State, but that scourge devastated it, and the open fields and young pines and shattered mansion a l now bear evidence to the bloody conflicts of which it was the scene. -The New York papers notice a meeting which took place in that eily Friday evening of about one hundred infidels and freethink? ers, their purpose being to initiate a move- j m -nt looking to the promulgation and advo cacy Of freethinklnxdoctrines throughout the United States by s'mllar agencies to ihoee em ployed by religionists. They determined to Inaugurate an aggressive policy, and to begin by circulating Infidel tracts by the thousand, providing for lectures and meetings, and the I equipment of treethinklng missionaries to be sent n all parts of the Union to estab isb free thinking clubs. Addresses were made advo- j eating an aggressive attitude on the part cf I freethinkers, and the promulgation of their doctrines by every means In their power, in-1 stead ot remaining, as hitherto, either quies cent or merely on the defensive. -A Washington loiter rtajr: "The commit- j tee on the alleged outrages in the Southern States will not be able to report till after the holiday recess. Tne sub-oom nlttee w.li show I that since the close of the war the debts of the Southern Sutes, local and St tte, have been increased the enormous sum of two hundred and fifty millions of dollars. This includes J aws which authorize the loaning of the credit j of the States to various railroad schemes wLlch were never carried out except for pur? poses of personal plunder. Wolle Hie In-1 creased debts of the State have necessitated I larreased taxation the rapid increase of the j county expenaitures hive everywhere created the mon oppressive taxation, amounting hi some instances almost to practical confl-ca tion. -A frisky contempo-ary tells us: '-The winter styles of gentlemen's wearing apparel aro picturesque and-as the ladies say-lovely. The coming fashion of pantaloons for gentle? men ls to be pictorial. Some represent a quiet landscape in thu country, wah callie and sheep browsing near bubbling streams and woody recesses; others detail the exciting and varied scenes of the battle-field; others the exhilarating beauties of the ball-room, with ladies In the most bewitching costumes I and radiant graces, and the blonde-haired Adonises and dark eyed Apolles also; and still others-for very fast young men-are re- I splendent with tbe exuberant charms of the ballet queens and thegodesses of opera bouffe. Tho ladies will shortly find much to admire aboui, the gentlemen's legs. This will be some sort of compensation to the opposite sex, whose pedals have been a sour .e of observa-1 lion to the m3ie genus since'the days of Adam." -Relative to the lengh or the Tichborne ease, the London Daly News ot November 16th says: 'The hearing of the Tichborne case was again proceeded with yesterday. The witnesses called were Mrs. Ann Noble, wife of the tarra bailiff a* Tichborne; Mr. Henry Noble, her husband ; the B-v. Thomas AM rick, a Catholic priest in Bristol, who lat known Roger Tichborne many years ago. ahd was with him ai Stonyhu-s ; M s. E?eaLor Smith, whose Ute husband was a bailiff to a former baronet;-Ur. James Howleston, who had been acquainted with Roger in his eat lier 1 years; Mr. William Cooper, a resident at Al? resford, and Mr. William Bailey, landlord of the Anchor Ion, Rockley. The whole of these swore pcslilvely to the identIfl;ation of the claimant as Roger Tichborne. Duriog the day, in answer io a question from the judge, Sergeant Balantine Eaid he could not say when this class of witnesses would be exhaust? ed. It was impossible for him to limit his case, and a? long as he had respectable wit? nesses as to identify he was bound to call them. "Then," said the Lord Cfc iel Jus'ice, 'you have no idea when your case will end P .Not the least,'* replied the learned sergeant. -Prince Alexis has engaged a new palace car of lhe Inventor, Mr. PullmriD, (now in Philadelphia,) and intends to use lt for a pro? longed tour through thc United States. He has ensaged it for sixty day?, but will proba? bly need lt for several months. He will live in the car, and so generally and sensibly en I joy himself. Mr. Pullman ls about sending an agent to Russia and other governments for the parp?se of Introducing his "sleepers," and he could have no better advertisement than the young Muscovite Piince. Cnet-rtng Xtiva for Charleston. The South Carolina Railroad Company have bought a controlling interest in tbe capital stock of the Macon and Augusta Railroad Company. This parchase, in con? nection with Ihe purchase of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, strength? ens, in a large measure, the position of the South Carolina Railroad, and goes a long way towards making it, what it must be? come, the master of the situation. The efforts of different Railroad RiDgs to cut ofl* Charleston from the interior of the cotton region, as well as from the upper part of Sooth Carolina, have been subtle and persistent. Powerful corporations, repre? sented by sweet-speaking agents, threatened to leave the South Carolina Railroad noth? ing but ?ts local traffic, i\nd to torn Charles? ton into a fishing village. That they have failed is due to the sagacity and patient labor of the President of the South Carolina Railroad Company, who, with the co-opera? tion of his Directors, bas planned and car? ried Into execution the boldest stroke of j strategy known ?D oar railroad hi Sry. And we are satisfied that the benefit to Charles? ton will be os great as the benefit lo the South Carolina Railroad. That railroad might, indeed, live without Charleston ; but Charleston would be iii a bad way without the far-reaching arms of our great trank line. Within two or three weeks, President Magrath hos brought to a successful conclu? sion two negotiations which remove all doubt as to the future greatness of Charles? ton, and which insure, at the same time, the substantial success of bis company. This is the best possible answer to the quid nuncs who, during six trying years, have given the Socth Carolina Railroad no othep encourage? ment than fault-finding and abase. We hope that the Sooth Carolina Railroad Company will not tire of well-doing. Tbey now reach to the heart of the cotton coun? try and to the foot of the B.tte Ridge. Let' them not say bait uniil they cross the bor? ders of Alabama, and, besides, cut their way to the great commercial cilies of the West. The prospect brightens ! We must smash tbe Columbia Ring, secure a decent govern? ment, nod Hen-Ho! for o population of One Hundred Thousand for the new Charles? ton, the foremost seaport of the South. The Fiscal Condition of Charit (ton Connty, The Grand Jury for Charleston County, in their presentment to the Court o? Gen? eral Sessions, printed in THE NEWS of yes? terday, direct the attention of the people to the miserable condition of the financial af? fairs of the connty. They show thut thu debt of the county is as follows: County checks issued prior to July, 1871.$ 50,000 Vouchers of county commissioners, not audited. 65,000 Sundry outstanding claims. 30,000 County debt.$145,000 There are no funds in the county treasury, and claims against the connty are bought np by speculators, from needy holders, at from twenty to ?fty per cent, discount. Toe income of the county for the current fiscal year Is not expected to exceed $100,000, which sum, at the old rate of expenditure, will not more than pay ihe ordinary ex? penses, exclusive of the above-mentioned debt of $145,000. The assessed value of the taxable prop? erty, real and personal, in Charleston Coun? ty wa?, in 1869,530,511,137, and in 1870, S47.316.445. The taxe3 authorized to bc levied for county purposes are a? followe : December 22, 18C9, for fiscal year 1SG9, 3 mills; December 23, 1870, for liscol year 1870, 3 mills; March 7, 1S71, for fiscal year 1871, 3 mills-the tux for 1869 being paya? ble and due by March 1, 1S70, ihe tax for 1870 by March 1, 1871, and the tax for 1871 by January 15, 1872. The amount of the county tax, apon ihe assessed values, is as follows : 1869 ...3 mills on $39,511.137, or... .$11R,533 1870... .3 .m:lls on 47.310,445. or.... 141,949 1871....3 mills on 47 316,445, or.... 141,919 Taxes for three yea payable be? tween January, 1870, and January, 1872.$402,431 We have made no change in the assess? ment for the year 1871, the State Comp? troller not having submitted his report for that year. It is enough to know lhat the assessed taxation, for county purposes, due and payable wilbin two years, la in the neighborhood of $400,000. The amount of money actually collected cannot, at present, be shown, and we are aware that the tax for 1871 may be paid untilJanuary 15,1872. But the taxes for 1869 and 1870, amounting ta $260.482, are long over due. Whatever has been collected has been spent, and the county is still in debt to the extent of $145, 000, which is equal to the whole property tax for 1870. . The question naturally arises, Where ls the money gone to? Governor Scott, opon this point, has given the taxpayers some valuable information. Io a communication addressed to the State Senate, under date of February, 1871, he says that "a perusal o? J "the county accounts shows that there has "been drawn from the treasury," for Main Roads, from August 23,1869, to October 20, 1870.$ 50,384 Bridges, from September 27, 1869, to October 3, 1870. 57,841 Public Bandings, from August 20, 1869, to October 17, 1870. 28,679 Constables, from August 31, 1869, to October 31, 1870. 23,339 Trial Justices, from August 24, 1869, , to October 29, 1870. 15,527 Sheriff, irom October 13, 1869, to October 14, 1870. 39,737 Clerk of Court, from August 29, 1869, to September 22, 1670. 17,734 Coroner, from August 27, 1669, to October 4, 1870. 5,600 Paid out in fourteen months- $238,841 Well might Governor Scott say that these amounts were "of startling magnitude." The figures are tatfeo from the official report of the County Commissioners, and they show that the treasurer paid out in fourteen months a sum nearly equal to the assessed property tax for 1869 and 1870. Yet the county is head over ears in debt. There is another remarkable fact to which we desire to call attention. According to the State census of 1869 there are in Charles? ton County 78S9 whites and 15,871 colored persons, over twenty-one years of age, who are, therefore, liable to the poll tax of $1. But for the fiscal year 1868 the amount of poll tax assessed was only $3707. The col-1 lections on account of poll tax are as follows : For 1668.$3707 For 1869.no report The Grand Jury, however, report that only one-tenth of the voters pay the poll tax. There is no difficulty in finding colored vo? ters on election day, but the county officers appear to be unable either to assess the poll tax or to collect it. We are aware that the poll tax must be applied exclusively to edu? cational purposes, and does not form a part of the general fund. But whatever defi? ciency there may be, on account of the fail? ure to assess and collect the poll tax, is made op by general luxation. -We have given facts which warrant the public in insisting upon a full exposition of j the receipts and disbursements by ibe county officers. But this is not enough. There should be so strict an observance of the law as will prevent any maning in debt And, in addi-1 tion, we require such amendments to exist? ing laws as will reduce the coBt of dieting prisoners and of the scandalously extrava? gant Trial Justice system. We think thut a small committee of responsible citizens could soon master the situution, ascertain the ex? tent of our liabilities, and suggest safe? guards and amendments in the county regu? lations which the General Assembly might be willing to adopt. ?X-MATOR Pillsbury, ex-Street Inspector Jeuks and ex-Colef of Police Hendricks are busily laying wires for the passage of the Metropolitan Police bill. The prospective offices ure already parcelled out, and all the sore-beads in Columbia are to be provided for at the expense of this city. Wo do not think that the bill will pass; although its wrongfulness and its. injurious character may, io some quarters, be arguments in Us favor. _ _ W. J. WHIPPER, "Brigadier-General," &c, attacked the Governor's message in the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, and charged Governor Scott with violating bis official oath and the Constitution of the State. Tim Horley, by way of making peace, suggested that it was not the Governor's fault if that high official were "incapable of "telling the truth." But the time has not come when the public may decide whether the Bowens, Whippers and Hurleys are in downright earnest, or only play ing their parts in the great morai show. REPRESENTATIVE WILKES, of Anderson, has introduced a bill io the General Assem? bly, making ic a misdemeanor for any per? son to call another "a liar, thief, rogue, "scoundrel, poltroon, or other similar op? probrious epltheL" We would suggest to our Anderson friend that the bill cannot be considered complete, unless it makes it a felony for a disgusted constituent to call his representative an Ass. hosteller's Bitters. clothing alone will not protect the body against the consequences of the sudden depression or tem? perature which ls concomitant or early winter.
