REWS OE THE DAT. -Gold at New York yesterday closed at 9ja9f. -The New York cotton market closed un? settled; uplands 20?: sales 2592 bales. -At Liverpool cotton closed strong; uplands lOd, Orleans lOjalOjd; sales 20,000 bales. -Lucca will be the next operatic star in our western sky. -Gounod has composed an operetta, "The Lamentation"'-comm?morai i ve ol the late war In France. -ft ls etated that quite a number of changes of the internal revenue officers In the South will be made this week. -Several ladles have registered in Memphis, for the purpose of voting at the next munici? pal election, under the clause In the city char? ter allowing all property holders to vote, whether-resldent or not. -The Richmond (Va.) journals announce the continued illness of Right Rev./ John Mc? Gill, Bishop of Riohmond. On Friday after? noon the last sacraments were administered. He is suffering from en attack of malarious fever. -The New York Tribune reports that one ' day last week Mr. Tweed's magnificent resi? dence was offered to a well-known steamship and stock operator for $100,000 less than Its value. When he submitted the bargain to his wife she replied that she would not live In the house ll il were given lo her. -The Bonaparllsi organ in Paris, the Ordre, contrasts tbe press laws under the- Empire with those under the Republic to the detri? ment ol the letter. The liberty of the pres?, lt says, exisis no K er in fact; under the Republic, the government has the right to suppress a journal without any preliminary warning. -The trial of Mrs. Wharton for the Bjdson ing of General Ketchum is progressing at Annapolis, Md. T,.e evidence against the prisoner appears to be very strong, all the physicians who have lestided concurring in the statement that poison was administered to Ketchum, and ihe testimony of others i seem to matte the tuet apparent that it- ; whether jasmine or olher poison-was given to him by Mrs. Wharton. -A bill has been introduced in Congress directing the postmaster-general to furnish and issue to the public stamped pus ul cards ; for the transmission through the mills of 1 messages or other short communications at a 1 postage charge of one cent each, the cost ol" the card included. The experiment of using 1 cards fer the transmit sion ol' open corres- j poudence at a very low rate has been tiled in j England, and ha* proved popu'ar. ] -On November 20, Slr Charles Dilke ad- ? dressed a large and crowded meeting at Bris- , lol, on representation and the education con- ' troreisy. A strong Republican feeling was ' manifested by those presen c. The names of 1 the Queen and the Prince of Wales were re- 1 ceived with hisses and groan?, while hearty cheers were given for a republic, tir Charles, lo the course of his address, declared himself a ?epub?cun. and said that he made no con ceelm.nt of the fact. The proceedings at timer were very noisy. -"'he convention of Methodist Episcopal churches of the State of New York, In session av 3yraouse last week, and attended by about four hundred delegate?, has adopted resolu? tions In favor of sustaining the present public 1 school system; for a union of ail lovera ol the 1 system In its defence; insisting upon the moral element in instruction; and for petitioning the next Legislature to take steps to secure an amendment to the stale constitution, and per? emptorily prohibiting the appropriation by the Sit?;? or municipal authorities of public funds for the support of sectarian schools. -The Eugiish papers contain a correspond? ence discus - ing the que s iou whether Glad? stone is not secretly a Catholic, and under the control of the Jesuits. Gladstone, In a re? ply, says: '-The question whether the prime minister of this country is a member of the Church of Rome, and, being such, not only declines to avow ir, but gi v-.< through a long lite all the external signs of belonging to a different communion, is a question ot great political Importance, and this not only In the presect, but in any possible condition of the Liberals or of any otner party; for lt Involves the question whether he is the basest crea? ture In the kingdom which he has a share In ruling, and Instant ej-ciiou Lom his office would be the sma'lest of punishments which he would des wc." -The Washington correspendent of the Bal? timore Sun writes : "It is Elate I ly persons who are in the movement, but who object to their carnes being used lu print, that a confer? ence cf leading Democrats In Cougrts-nvas actually held here two or ihiee evenings siuce, with several anti-Grant Republicans, who are at work organizing an opposition < arty, to co? alesce wiih the Democracy to prevent Grant's re-election. All that resuJ" d at the meeting was a universal acquiescence .in a resolution declaring in favor of the one-terni principle for the Presidency. The anti-Giant Republi? cans expressly declared that they desired to leave the Democratic parly free from all coa Utlon, yet to leave it prepared to act with vigor and wisdom at the proper lime. In the meantime, the 'one-term' pm y will soon be ready. It is assumed, to develop its line of bat? tle. All lt 13 proposed that the Democrats shall do, as an independent organization, is to supp?t. the 'one-term' principle and declare for lt in caucus or convention." -The bill introduced by8enator Edmunds, to regulate the civil service of the Uuiied States, and promote its efficiency, irovides that hereafter ul! appointments of civil officers In the several departments of ihe serviced the United St tte?, except, postmasters and such officers as are hy law required to be ap? pointed by the President, by and with the ad? vice and consent ot the Se?alo, shall be made feom those persons who shed have been found best qualified lor the peiformance of the duties of the ?.ZScea to whhJa such appoint meats are to be made ia aa open and com? petitive examination, to be conducted as pre? scribed. Provision is made for the appoint? ment by the President, by and with the vice and consent of the Senate, of a boar ;-f three commissioners, who are to hoi i ;eir offices for the term cf five years, unies sooner removed by the President, by with the advice and consent of the Senate among whose duties shall be the fcllowi First, to prescribe the qualifications requisite for an appointment into each branch and grade of the civil service, having re^rd to the ness ol each candidate in respect to age health, character, knowledge and ability the brancn of service into which he seeks enter. Second, to provide for the examina? tion of arl persons eligible under this act whe may present themselves for admission into civil service. The applicant who stands high est In order of merit on the list ol those who have passed the. examination for any parti lar branch and grade of the civil service shall have the preference in appointment to that branch and grade, and SD on, in the order precedence* in examinations, to the minimum ?egree of merit fixed by the board. The Condition of* Mexico. Little doubt nov/ remains that the r?volta against tbe authority of President Juarez various parts of Mexico amount to an at tempt to revolutionize the entire Republic The Tico Republics, of the 11th ult., ?3 the journal of latest date from the capita], and announces the mortification and disappoint ment with r>bich it is forced to retract its prognostications of the prosperity the coun try would enjoy from the re-election Juarez, and to admit that all hopes of peace had vanished. The revolutionists and their sympathizers assert that the armed move ment "will not disturb the equilibrium "commerce, weaken confidence, or affect "the industries of the country; and that "will soon be over." In other words, the originators of the movement design merelv an old-fashioned Mexican "revolation, which was merely a species of military elec? tion, with little or co bloodshed, promptly decided, and not very seriously interrupting the business pursuits of non-combatants But Juarez is a man of known firmness and pertinacity, and it remains to be seen wbelh er ire will acquiesce in considering the new civil war in that light. The ODly recent events of any importance in. that contest are the successes of Trevino at Saltillo, and the disturbance in Sonora and Einaloa,: in which latter the people gen emily took no part, and "there was no blood "shed." The usual accompaniments ol such affairs in Spanish-American countries -forced loans from the merchants, with a compensatory reduction of export and im? port duties-indicate that at Mazatlan and Guayaroas, as at Monterey, the revolution means chiefly a renewal of the time-honored alliance between illy-paid olficiuls and mer? chants inclined toward smuggling. Tue capture of the City of Saltillo by the revolu? tionists, reported at Matamoras on the 5th instant, would be a decided progress on their part. Those familiar with the history of General Taylor's campaign in that coun? try io 1S47, will remember the important strategic position of that place in connec? tion with the Puss of Angostura or Buena Vieta, a few leagues to the south of it. The country between that pass and the rich aud fertile section around the City of ?an Luis Potosi is sparsely peopled, and bot fur its mining settlements would be almost u iesert. The occupation of Saltillo by Tre? vino will thus probably secure to him the northern half of Ihe State of San Luis Potosi, and enable his allies in the States immediately west of it, Zacatecas aod Du? rango, to revolutionize them more success? fully than they have heretofore done. Should the supporters of Juarez in Souora and Sinaloa be ut the same time ?giUlued by the revolution'sts, the latter will then be in control of alt Northern Mexico, and in a position either to establish their "Sierra "Madre Republic" or to join Diaz in esta? blishing iu the CentrafSiates and the nation? al capital a government which will keep them quiet by "free zones," light laxa1.ion, or none at al], aud a liberal share of otflces and public plunder to their semi-feudal chiefs. The manifesto issued by Diaz is by no means a brilliant document, and it is not surprising that it has met no cordial re? sponse from his fellow-countrymen. He abuses the government in general terms, and assures the public of his own disinter? ested patriotism. He invites each State to send three representatices to a convention which shall "give the programme of the "constitutional reconstruction, and name a "provisional president of the Republic, who "by no means ought to be the actual deposi? tory of the powers of war." The changes he proposes in the constitution ure : The electiou of presideut by the people directly, instead of, as now, through the machinery of an electoral college; ineligibility to that otflce of every person who, daring the pre? vious year, hud at any time exercised "any "authority or charge the functions of which "extend to all the national territory ;" Con? gress uot to have any power to designate or elect high public functionaries, (as, for in? stance, a president when there is no choice by the electoral college or the people;) trial by jury to be made geuerul; and the in? terior customhouses, (at which goods are taxed on passing from one State to another,) to be abolished. It will strike every otie that, even if tnese changes are desirable, it may well be doubted whether they are worth a civil war, even one of the miM-mannered style in fashion among Spanish-Americaus. A main point in the programme of General Diaz, a general substitution of outs for ins ia the public offices, is not expressed, but is, of course, silently understood by every? body. Pot Call? the Kettle Black. Representatives Byas and Myers are deter? mined to take time by the forelock, and re? lieve themselves thoroughly of their accumu? lated bile before the passage of Mr. Wilkes's bilL When one "honorable member calls another honorable member "a liar," and the aggrieved member retorts that his assailant ?3 ?a thief," it is not surprising that an at? tempt, however vain, should be made to de? clare the use of bad words a penal offence. But.the operation of the bill should be con? fined to the members of the General Assem? bly while that body is in session, and, if the penalty could be changed to a stoppage of the per diem of the offenders, the new Blue law might be regarded as a public blessing. Even the gentle Bowen was shocked. That guileless individual, accustomed to the se rone prohnity of Ck)tigress, was so shocked by the vituperative language of his legisla? tive colleagues that he instantly' moved that the offenders be brought to the bar of the Honse, and apologize for their conduct. Fellow-feeling made the members wondrous considerate, and the resolution was nega? tived. Alas 1 for the oleaginous Bowen. Speele Payments. Senator Sumner, we are told, is about to introduce a DOW bill to facilitate a return to specie payments. His plan is to issue every month ten millions of interest-bearing legal tender notes, similar to those issued in 1663 and 1864, and cancel a like amount of greenbacks, the process to go on until all the greenbacks are thus replaced. The new notes proposed shall bear five per cent, in? ter?s:, and shall be paid in coin at tbe end of three years, or converted into five per cent, bonds, at the option of the govern? ment. By these means, Sumner thinks, a resumption could be reached without a shock to business or serious disturbances of prices. Sumner's plan, it is claimed, bas the ap? proval of many eminent nuanciere, bankers, and business men in New England. ID. MCINTOSH, Esq., the President of the Executive Committee of the Darlington Ag? ricultural Society, reports that the late County Fair was pecuniarily as well as pop? ularly successful, the receipts being $1250 and tbe expenses $1170. It is now proposed to form a joint stock company for the Coun? ties of Darlington, Marlboro' and Chester? field, tbe annual fairs to be held at Buch places as may be found most convenient. THE County Commissioners of George? town County report to the Legislature that, durjDg the year ending October 31st, 1871, they drew and audited claims for $10,785; the amount of the tax for the year beiDg, at four mills on the dollar, $8661. The de? ficiency, therefore, is $2124, or twenty-five per cent. This is one more proof of the ur? gent need of a change in the laws regulating expenditures for county purposes. ' 1 m* " * A BILL bas been introduced in tbe State Senate to charter a company, witb a capital of $3,000,000, for tbe purpose of building a railroad from Cheraw to Greenville, passing through Lancaster, Union and Spurtanburg. Among the corporators are Senators Wim bu8b, Foster, Allen, Duvall and Montgomery, and Representatives Mobley, Pendergrass and Timothy Hurley. TUE OraDgeburg yews print? a highly eulogistic article upon Judge Graham, wbo bas lilied bis position "with credit lo him? self and satisfaction to all." We presume tbat Judge Graham will be re-elected with ? out opposition. THE Lantern, a Kew weekly paper, will be published at Rock Hill, S. C., about the middle of January.
