When, as a last resource, he told her they were higher than the pay of a marsha! of France, she re? fund: "Well, theo, get a marshal ot France to dag for you !" And as he doubted whether Bassine, McMahon, or even Lou's Napoleon himself, would draw as well, he was obliged to acquiesce. -Mrs. Touton was arraigned at Annapo? lis last Monday for the poisoning of General W.

Mrs Wharton was pale, and showed traces of her four months In Jail, bnt was calm ant? collect? ed, and answered to the Indictment, "Not guilty," lo a clear and firm voice. Her daugh? ter Nellie sank down on the dais at the foot of the criminals' box, and remained there during all the session of the court Eogene Yan Ness, whom Mrs. Wharton ls accused of poisoning, waeln court, and cha'if d with .er in the most friendly manner. Nothing nv ..h was e.Kited pom tbe wltaesses. -A pim for orowa-nlng vessels along the dOastaor: Europe and America of et tu that ?weep actbes the ooean DM been ander discus? sion for some rime, but the most practicable device tor providing news of sea storms is that of an ocean storm ship. It ls proposed that a screw steamer of immense power and especially fitted for tbe purpose, be stationed In mid-ocean directly above the line of an ocean cable which shall be laid lor the purpose of connecting; lt with the shores of Europe and the United States. Toe vessel ls to be provided with powerlul pumps BO lt may be able, if necessary, to assist a ship In distress in mid-ocean, and tow her te port. Under such circumstances, facilities would be provid? ed for anchoring the end of a cable to a float? ing buoy ol immense size, and so arranged as to render a cable sale while the vessel lea her station. The plan, with some modification, will doubtless be carried into effect at no dis? tant day by International co-operation. The Tb ron o of England. The latest London telegrams, dated nine o'clock yesterday evening, report that the Prince of Wales was sinking fast, and that there was little hope or his recovery. The Prince of Wales was born on Novem? ber 9,1841, and, in the event of his death, his eldest soo, Prince Albert Edward, now in his eighth year, becomes the heir appa? rent to the English throne. As it is hardly ' probable that Queen Victoria, shattered in health as she is, will -eign many years longer, our English cousins may look for? ward to an Irksome regency, which will give "the new Cromwell " and Sir Charles Dake as good an opportunity as they could desire of preparing the way for the establishment of the Kepa'..lie of Great Britain. -?,*?. ?1k1 ! '? The Way the Money Goes. The people have been amazed that the State Government, while levying enormous taxes, should have incurred a huge floating debt for the payment of which $3,773,000 of State bonds are now in pawn, and, while in receipt of a larger revenue than any pre? ceding administration, should have piled up million after million of bonded indebted? ness. And now one of the leaks is shown. The Columbia Union, in its issue of Tues? day, says that, "during the past three years, "appropriations have invariably exceeded "the receipts from taxes by several hundred "thousand dollars. In 1869, there ?vas "realized from taxes, seven hundred and "sixty-six thousand seven hundred and thir? ty-six dollars. The same year the Legisla? ture appropriated not less than one mil-, "lion one hundred and ninety-one thou "sand dollars more than the entire tax levy "for that year. In 1870, the amount of "taxes collected was, in round'numbers, "eleven hundred thousand dollars, while the "appropriations reached the enormous figure "of sixteen hundred thousand dollars, an "excess of over a half million above the "receipts. The appropriations for 1870, "amounted to the entire tax levy, no regard "having been paid to the fact that much of "the tax is neoesarily delinquent." This is indee-: a startling admission. A deficiency in three years, on carrent revenue, of about TWO MILLION DOLLARS. When will the Republican party begin the work of re. trenchment and reform ? Nous Verrons Ass Unimpeachable Witness. The people of the State who oppose cor- . raption, and desire that only capable and honest men-be elected to public office, find an ally as unlooked for M the severely vir? tuous Bowens and Whit temores of the Gen? eral Assembly. The Colombia Union, a bitterly Radical sheet, broadly declares its intention to leave tho sinking ship, and to direct itself to the purification of Sooth' Carolina Radicalism. This decision does honor to the shrewdness of the Union, for lt is evident that no party can long hold to? gether which approves ot condones or cor? ruption such as that of which the State Gov? ernment is confessedly guilty. We cannot, however, forget that, on previous occasions, Radical journals which have talked big, and refused to be influenced by any clique, have become sa gentle u doves long before election day. They have feared that their party would ge to pieces if ali incapable and unworthy officials were driven from authority. And there wu reason for the fear. The active white members of "the "party" may, according to Governor Scott, be numbered on the Angers of a man's hand ; and it is impossible for Republicanism to gain any strength while it allows itself to be made the ,1001 of a gang of public rob? bers. For ourselves, we caa Bay, with all frankness, that what we seek is the removal of all dishonest and ignorant servants of the publia We do not make war upon the black man any more than upon tie whites. We do not make war npoo any official be? cause he is a Republican. Our fight is against Fraud and Robbery wherever and whenever we find iL And in this work the Union, if it be in earnest, can do yeoman service. We reprint the greater part of our con? temporary's articles upon "The Republican "Party-Its Duty," italicizing the passages to which we desire to cali especial attention : "The Republican party ls responsible for the acts of Individual members of the party, lu sc far as lt endorses their acts in a pub ic way. A man elected to office, who afterward be? trays the high confidence and trust reposed in him by his parry, ls no longer regarded SB a representative of eald party, unless he shall have again been endorsed after his rascality haa become apparent. "No one can deny that rascally of the most venal kind has been practiced in this State, under the protecting shield of tbe Republican party. Some of the men elected to public positions ot honor Md trust have most shame? lessly abused both the honor and the trust. The duty of the party ls plain and unequivo? cal. We must not shield the guilty, nor must we wink at Incompetency or inability, simply because men are Republicans. The party must be purified at all hazards, and at whatever 'cost, even if it ie necessary to throw overboard every man now reckoned as a leader in the party. No political party can live for any length of time which persists in carrying such loads as we have been compelled to carry In thia State. There are men who call them? selves Republicans, who are a disgrace to any party under heaven, and not a few of these men assume to dictate the policy of the party, and prescribe who shall and who shall not be elected to office. If a man takes issue with th?-m on the course pursued by the party, and dares to criticise the octa of public officials, forthwith he is called a 'Democrat' or a 'Re-' 'former.' Thia has been the case with us in maoy Instances, bat we want it distinctly un? derstood by all that thu journal cannot be controlled by any factlob, cliqwe or ring, ?or j will it cease to pursue the course which all honest Republicans endorse, simply because what it may say un this subject may injure the chances of a few self-opinionated indi? viduals. The Republican party is a party of j ?justice, of right and of intelligence; and Us principles are troth, liberty and progress, and, while a majority of Its members in this State may not bs educated in all the arts and science?, yet they are honest, and will not, if | they know it, vote for dishonest men. The opportunity to reorganize the party will soon be presented to us, and lt will be well if we all fix upon one common point of departure, and that le, that we will have none but honest, intelligent, capable men for public office. Let us Belect none but the best men, without re? gard to the amount of dirty work, or the money they have spent for the party. "We prefer peing counted out, to being com? pelled to support mea who think that all the ' virtue and intelligence of the party centres in them. There are men in the party from whom we intend to make the fur fly when the proper time comes'.1' The foregoing article is an indication that the efforts of the press to break up the Bing are not without result. Something is al? ready accomplished when a bigoted Radi? cal organ is driven to the admission that "rascality of the most venal kind has been "practiced in this State;" that there are men, calling themselves Republicans, who are "a "disgrace to any party ander heaven," and that the Republican party must be punned "at all hazards and at whatever coat" It remains now to force the fighting. The Ring, once broken, will be as woefully power? less 03 that which the Democrats and Re? publicans of New York smashed and shat? tered. The work is one in which all honest men may properly engage, for all honest men alike will share in the fruits of victory. *MR. WILLUM G. KENNEDY has taken charge of the editorial, department of the Sumter News.
