Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO.. No. 14? East Bay. Charleston, s.e. MONDAY, DECEMBER ll, 1871. NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold dosed on Saturday at 9?al0. -In Nfw York, colton closed with an ad? vance of a quarter cf a cent on uplands-19| with sales of 2633 bales. -Ia liverpool, cotton opined strong, and . closed quiet and steady; uplands 9jd.; Orleans lOalOjd.; sales 12,000 bales. ?The income tax expires by limitation on the 30th inst. -A dispatch from Washington states that Sumner declines the chairmanship of the com? mittee on elections and privileges. -The thermometer at Paris yesterday was sixteen degrees below zero, and the Seine was frozen over. -The New York police prevented the pub? lic demonstrarle* of the ''International'" vaga? bonda, which tad b- en fixed for yesterday. -The anticipated strike of telegraphers has commenced at Liverpoc?:, and dispatches are ?aiijliil -Speaking of Jew, the Jewish Chronicle says Ireland ls tb ? only country in Europe where Jews were never persecuted. -An American-of course it ls an Ameri? cas-bas started a ferry boat on the Sea of Galilee, and the steam-whistle and engine gong are hencefonh to do violence to ita echoes. -The Mormons are giving up all hopes of maintaining the practice cf polygamy, but some believe that Congress will allow twenty five years, more or less, ior Its gradual aboli? tion. -The announcement is made that two con? signments of Chinese, designed ior employ? ment In cotton factories, are on their way to Salem, Massachusetts, and that more are to follow. ^Lawrence A. Gobright has been appointed commissi onrr from tie District ol Columbia to the centennial celebration In Philadelphia in 1876. The Star says this is a proper compli? ment to the esteemed Washington manager of th. New York Associated P? ss. About a hundred cotton cases before the Court of Claims have been postponed, pending the decision Of the Supreme Court whether th?' Presidential pardon entitles the pardoned party to testify in the Court of Claims against the government. -Another distinguished conversion to the Church of Rome ls anne meed. Tne new "vert" is the Marquis of Bath-John Alexan? der Tay nn<>-whose family dates its ancestry from, the time of Klug John. HJs' lordship has long been in fie half-way house of Ritual? ism, add has now made the remainder of his Journey. He is the patron of eleven livings in the Church o? England. .-The day previous to the fight near Nfew Orl?ans, Jim Muco ls reported as having said: "I wish it distinctly understood that, win or lose, this will he my last fight in tb? prize ring. Ii any man attacks me, we will have it oct then and there; bot as to entering the ring again, that is entirely out of the ques? tion." Jim says he ls getting too old to fight, and he is anxious now lor a little peace. Let him have it. -A Washington telegram says : "There has been no communication between Grant and Akerman- regarding a change in the attorney generalship, though the pressure for a change ls great, and Akerman's resignation would be probably accepted. Influent lal political cir? cles urge Akerman's lack ot Judicial furce and attainments necessary to the position. The very highest authority thinks that Fish wll* alick." . -The Austrian Embassy ia London, to which Coc&t Beast has lately been appointed, is thc principal diploma' ic prize in the Empe? ror's -gift, now Parla is no longer what it wa1. The Austrian Ambassadress ia London maintains ihe same Eort of exclusiveness as to society as she would do In her own circles at home, and lt is much more difficult to obtain cards for her parties than for those of most of the other ministers. -The* Memphis Avalanche states that the negotiations for the control of the Memphis and Charleston Failroad, which have been pending for some weeks, have finally been concluded in ft vor of the Pennsylvania Rail? road. Colonel Tom Scott, it is understood, bas effected a lease for forty-five years ona guarantee of dividends, and lt GI 'y remains now for the stockholders of the Memphis and Charleston to ratify the action of the directory. -At a grand banquet, la St. Petersburg, on Thursday last, the Czar offered a toast to the health of the Emperor of Germany. He hoped the intimate friendship which existed between that monarch and himself would last as long as they lived, aud be carried down to future generations by their successors; and he trust* ed that the fraternity of the armies ol' Ger? many and Russia, dating from an ever memor? able epoch, would be perpetual. Thus would be constituted the best guarantees for the maintenance ol' peace aod legtd order in Eu? rope. -The Tichborne case had reached lt?, fifty first day In England at last mail acco mts, and still witnesses come forward who Identify the claimant as Roger Charles Tichborne and ver? ify their recognition by a multitude of minute and ingenious tests. A correspondent writes that "a perfect revulsion ot opinion bas oc? curred since the case was reopened, and every one now declares that the verdict must be for the plaintiff.'' The weak point in Tlchberne's case has been that he had not proved that after his shipwreck in the Bella in 1853 he was picked up by the Osprey. The missing link was supplied on the 20th ult., by the testimony o? M. A Sharplngs, who met him at that lime in hf albourne harbor. -The cable brings news that an English edifice which baa witnessed the changes of a thousand years, Warwick Caaiie, the ancient and splendid seit of the Earl or Warwick, in Warwickshire, well known to travellers and historical students, has been irreparably dam? aged by fire, the origin of which is undis? covered. The great hall, the dining hall and other state apartments wera completely . burned ont Tue destruction of pict ure?, statn f arv and other v. orks of art, and of articles of virtu, waa great and most deplorable. Among the rare treasures of art which are supposed to have been destroyed is the famous Warwick vase-the massive marble ornament which once graced the viila of Adrian. It was in one of the green-houses. Some of Van? dyke's finest portraits, and pictures bj Rem? brandt of almost priceless worth, have also' perished, together with splendid specimens of the armor and suits of mall of the middle ages. It ls hoofed that the soiid strength of feudal and Elizabethan masonry resisted the power of the fire, so that this magnificent feu? dal stronghold-a link connecting the epoch of Alfred with the tlm?s In which we live may be restored with all Its courts and towers, even though the glories of ita interior are gone forever. The castle was built on the west side of the Avon, on a solid rock. In which the cellars were excavated. The grand suite of apartments extended upwards of three hundred and thirty-three feet in a stra'ght line. _ A High Old Bill. The Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives have reported fa? vorably apon the bill "to declare the use Of "certain words a misdemeanor," and recom? mend that lt do pass. There is a prospect, then, the Legislature willing, that naughty expressions will soon cease to sully the lips of the lieges of South Carolina, and that not even the worst member of the Columbia Ring will be called a "thief, rogue, scoun "drel, or poltroon," except in a strictly Pickwickian-sense The pleasure of calling a fancied foe by hard names is not deep enough to compensate for "imprisonment, "with hard labor, in the county jail," coupled with "a fine of fifty dollars, " at the ; discretion of the Court. We fear, however, that inveterate vitnperators will fiad a way to evade the law. They will whip the foul Send around the stump by inventing a new t: vocabulary of abase. Suppose, for instance, that, Instead of making use of "the oppro? brious epithets" forbidden by the law, they ceil their tergiversating neighbor a Scott, and fling at the head of a nouveau riche the stunning title of Parker. Would the use of these names, "ia a rode, angry or revenge? ful manner," expose the unfortunate of? fender to trial in a Court of "competent ju- I "risdiction?" Or if a heedless Conservative shouted oat that Mr. So-and-So was a Mackey, or a Hendricks, or a Bowen, would the guilt; wretch be likely to sojourn for an unpleasantly long period under the roof or the county jail ? We are anxiously walting for the'coming of that millennia! time when ail words shull be sweet os ' honey, and no mao shall merit a harsher title than that of angel or saint. But sol , long as the' citizens of South Carolina are j ody to be made reverential by an Act of Assembly, it ?8 Jost os well for the Judiciary Committee to make their legal nets close enough ia texture to bold the little tish as well as the big ones. And if they can, by law, preveat profanity aod obscenity, we would suggest that they cut a little deeper, and, by law, prevent any member of their own body from telling tit)?, pocketing the J public moneys or eboiwing the white rea th jr. After all, the stinsof the Act "to declare "the ase of certain words a misdemeanor" lies ia ita tail, j The second section provides that any person who may be indicted for as? sault sod battery may plead, io justification, that the language which the bill prohibits has been used towards bim, with thia quali-1 ticalioa : "Provided?jae assault and battery "shall be* provedMiot- to have been exee?? j "sive." We humbly hint that this is rather vague. What is to be deemed aa "exc?s- j "sive" assault and battery ?" Mr. Jones calls Mr. Brown' "a lia*, thief, scoundrel and .'poltroon," M"<*a rode, "angry- 'bVreveo&eM "manner," and Mr. Brown, ia the language I of the Rlog, taps Jones's claret and closes his peepers. Would that be an "excessive" assault and battery ? Are we to frame a sliding scale in this fashion : A thief, one black eye. A thief aod liar, two black eyea A thief, liar and poltroon, two black eyes and the forfeiture of the front teeth. And is the force of muscle to be taken into consideration ? What is to justify a blow with an umbrella or a slap ia the face? Is the aggrieved person to do his level best, and leave it to the "Court of competent ja* "risdiction" to determine whether the pun? ishment was excessive ? These are obvious difficulties, which we considerately suggest for the contemplation of the Individuals who, if the bill should pass, are most likely to Sad it necessary to avail themselves oi Its liberal provisions. IT IS evident that the Bowen Reformers j have come to terms with Governor Scott, who will be white-washed at an early day. We expected nothing from them, and are not disappointed. The work of Reform can only be accomplished by men of honor and integrity. THE City of Columbia is invited to go into the loan market as a borrower at eight per cent In allowing the Municipal Ring to issue as many bonds as may be necessary to bring the debt ap to $800,000, the bill will remind the people of the acts to reduce the Bills Receivable, to relieve the treasury, and to pay the interest on the debt. But this circumvention was unnecessary. The debt of Columbia could have been run ap to $800,000 without the help of a borrowing bill. IT SEEMS that the air Line Railroad is io hot water. Whipper's action in the matter is based, we presume, upon the remon? strances of the good folk of Anderson, who are indignant that the company, in violation of their charter, should leave so thriving a town out in the cold. The Rumored Remsvai of Treasurer Gurney. [From the Missionary Record.j Rumor has it that McLaughlin is to bc ap? pointed Treasurer of this county, vice W. H. Gurney. We should uot be surprised. These infernal thieves ha e so conscience's. They are all mates, worse than hor-e leeches. Governor Scott only needs do this thing, and be will have reached the climax of outrages on an inoffensive people. There is a degree of decency about General Gurney which gives him a place in honest men's regari. It may be that this ls the head and front of his offence. We warn his Excellency that we are near the sacred spot where patience ceases to be a virtue. It requires but this act, and the Sirocco wl l come. There will not be a dollar paid into the treasury of this county if thal appointment is ma le. i?Tamc?. frOSE^^'DERrON.-On the evening of the 7th Instant, a* tte re*idence or the brlde'B mother, by ?-the Bev.
