Everywhere the ice men are already gathering good supplies of ice, varying irom six to twelve inches in thickness. -Subscription of the thirty-nine articles ls no longer a prerequisite to receiving a degree ' from Oxford University. The English press ) seems to welcome every indication of a religi? ous toleration. -Dr. O. W. Hess, lormerly business mana r ger of Crosby's Opera House, who attempted to commit suicide a few weeks ago, died on . last Wednesday night, at Chicago, from the effects of the wounds. -Robb, the collector of Savannah, after a full and free investigation on the part of the prosecution, and under the statement of the district attorney and charge of the court, was on Saturday honorably acquitted by the jury without leaving the box. -A shooting affray occurred in front of the postofflce, In Richmond. Va, on Thursday last, between John Snelling and Andrew Mon? tiere both sporting men, which resulted in Snelling being probably fatally wounded. Montiero was arrested; he is but slightly hurt. -Governor Walker, of Virginia, has pardon? ed ex-Mayor Chahoon, of Richmond, hereto lore twice convicted of complicity in thc Hauenstein forgery. Vt-ry general satisfac? tion ls expressed at this action*ol the Gover? nor, who states that his principal reason for so doing is that it was earnestly recommend? ed by a very large number of worthy citizens. -Saturday morning the caboose car of a material train on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad was thrown to the bottom of a ravine while crossing a bridge near Salem. The con? ductor Robert A. Fagus, and a colored man, named Frank Campbell, were killed. The contents of the stove set fire to the car, de? stroying it and bit. ning up the two bodies, together with several spans of the bridge. -The Japanese Mikado, ia pursuance of bis policy to popularize his government, lately appeared in the streets of Yedo, driven in an English carriage, four-in-hand, with only four running footmen. Subsequently, he walked out unattended, and bas issued an Imperial order forbidding the performance of obeis? ance and ceremonies formerly prescribed by law on those who met the Mikado face to face, or were passed by his official emblems. -The Catholic Bishop Barclay, of New Jer? sey, who lately delivered a temperance ad? dress before the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of that State, ls reported to have de? clared that he has ''ordered the clergy to re? fase Christian burial to those who die of the effects of liquor as well as those who sell lt to drunkards." He does not believe In prohi? bition laws, aud thinks it best to fight the vice by the influence of moral suasion and religious opinion. -The Grand Duke Alexis has sent five thousand dollars to Mr. W. H. Aspinwall for the poor of New York City. Mr. Aspinwall has appropriated from this sum fou.- thousand dollars to the Association lor Improving the Condition of the roor, and one thousand dol? lars for the benefit of disabled sailors. The Gratad Duke has also given two thousand dollars for the poor of Boston, and we learn that he will add five thousand dollars to the Chicago reliet fund. -An official order Irom the War Depart? ment announces the death of Brigid ier-Gene ral Robert Anderson, at Nice, France, on the 26th of October last, speaks In commendatory terms of the character of the deceased, and mentions the fact that on the 14th of April, 1865, exactly four years after his surrender of Fort Sumter, he had the satisfaction, by ap? pointment of the government, of again ho'si ing the identical fla-j, which meantime had never left his custody, over the same fort, then reduced to a heap of ruins. His remains have been placed on board the United States ship of-war Guerri?re for transportation to the Uui ted States. On their arrlvul proper orders will be issued to do them honor. -Our navy makes but a sorry exhibit of Its efficient condition. It has one hundred and seventy-ulne ships of all classes, of which fifty-two are steam monitors, and only one is in commission; the rest are useless. Fifty three ships are in commission, the rest are on the stocks, undergoing repairs or "laid up," and of these none are likely to be of any future use. Says Secretary Robeson: "Unless some? thing is done our cruising navy, now by no means powerful, indeed scarcely respectable lor a nation of our rank and responsibilities, will soon almost wholly pass out of existence as an arm of our national power.'' Truly a cheer? ing prospect. Economy ls a good thing, but, like charity, it had better begin at home. After sundry leaks In the civil service have been effectually stopped, lt will be time enough to reduce, the navy of a first-class power to a fleet of mud-scows. -The Washington Chronicle of Saturday says: "In the contested-election case of Bowen vs.DeLarge, of South Carolina, DeLarge. who now occupies the seat, has failed to put in any abutting evidence against the testimony of the grossest frauds put in by Bowen. Addi? tional testimony from the confession ol one of ite commissioners of election seems to have satisfied PeLarge that he cannot make a suc? cessful contest, and it ls a.ipposed that he will make no further effort. PeLarge'a counse1, Major C. W. Buttz, has abandoned the case, declaring it hopeless. The committee on elec? tions wul. therefore, doubtless report that Mr. Bowen is entitled to the seat in Congress. Expecting this result, Mr. Dowen desired to bring to Washington a new endorsement by the people of his district. He became a can? didate for the Legislature from Charleston County, and was almost unanimously elected. He claims that his personal popularity is so great no one cared to run against him. When his case is decided in the committee he will promptly leave the Legislature and claim his seat." p&*The pressure of advertisements again compels U3 to-day to i3sae a supplement, which will be found to contain much inter? esting reading. The Prince of Wales. Hi3 Royal Highaess, the Prince of Wales, is declared to be out of danger, and the tid? ings are hailed with genuine satisfaction throughout the British Empire. There has been, indeed, a curiously sudden revulsion of popular feeling in regard to tbe heir apparent, and he who, to American eyes, was only looked upon, a few weeks ago, as an un wottby son of a noble mother, is now spoken of with respect if not with love. There is some reason for thi3. The English people begin to feel that they may have been too swift to blame. They DOW see that the Prince, whatever his faults, has not been guilty of one hundredth part of the sins which have been laid to his charge. Tney are more ready than ever before to accept bim as a young nobleman whose temptations are as great as his useful opportunities, and whose lack of genius is rather an advantage than a crime in one who may reign, but will not govern. If he cannot be a "blameless "Prince," he can be, at least, a respectable head of the government, who will discharge his formal duties with regularity and public decency. Nor would bis death have caused any political convulsion in England. On the contrary, it woald have rekindled the old love for the Queen, and would have caused the patriotic sentiment of the whole country to crystallize around the widowed Princess of | Wales and her young SOD, the heir to the throne. This feeling, in a large measure, will remain, now that the Prince of Wale3 i8 likely to recover. It rests with him, by his future conduct, to strengthen and confirm the loyalty of his people. The Columbia Taxpayer? In Court A number of the taxpayers of the City of Columbia (represeoted by R. C. Shiver, Edward Hope nnd others,) made application on Friday for an injunction to restrain the further ereclion o? the new City Hall and the new Market, and to res:rain the defendants (the City Council, J. L. Neagle, James M. Allen and others) from making any use whatever of the $250,000 seven per ceot. bonds, issued last summer, which bonds, it is prayed, may be delivered np and caocelled. Toe counsel for the prosecution are Messrs. Waties, Bach man, McMaster and LeConte, and, for the defence, are the City Attorney, Mr. James Tradewell, C. D. MeltoD, Esq., and Messrs. Pope & Haskell. 1 be bearing of the petition was resumed on Saturday, when, technical pouts being made by the defence, it was agreed to suspend further proceedings until the pleadings could be amended. The affidavits upon which the application was based set forth thar there has been a needless expense in the award of contracts, viz: $60,000 OD the contract for the City Hall, and S2500 in the contract for the new Market. Messrs. Fry <fc Troy, architects and builder?, make affidavit that they have ex? amined and will build the City Hall for $78,000, and the Market for $15,800, while the coDtracts DOW awarded are, for the City Hall $138,000, aDd for the Market $18,616. -We are glad to see that the taxpayers of Columbia have some prospect of bringing their Municipal Ring squarely before the Courts. Wheo shall proceedings begin agaiDst the Scott-Parker Ring ? The Sew Divorce Laws. Representatives Hagood and Singleton have introduced bills to regulate the grant? ing of divorces. It is to be hoped that the members will approach this ques? tion with a sense ef its serious impor? tance, especially to the colored people. We would remind them, moreover, that the State CoDStitution provides that divorces from the bands of matrimony "shall not be "(/ranted bul by the judgment of a court as "shall be prescribed by law." Under this provision the first section of the monstrous divorce bill "to regulate the grantitjg of di? vorces," already ooticed in these columns, is clearly and unquestionably unconstitu? tional The Bowen Committee. The consideration of the report of the Bowen Committee, charging the State officials with an -ver-issue of six million dollars in State bonds, i3 positively to come off to-day. The committee have made seri? ons charges, from which they cannot recede. We believe that they told the truth. Let them stick to their story, produce the evi? dence, aod earo lor themselves the gratitude of the public. It is said that thc committee have "aold out" to Governor Scott. The events of to-day should show whether that infamous report be true. Thc Land Scrip. We hope that Governor Scott will be able to give a satisfactory reply to the resolution of the Geoeral Assembly, ioquiriDg what disposition has been made of the Agricultu? ral Land Scrip. Uoless rumor ?3 wholly at fault, there have been some ugly practices in connection with this same land scrip, aDd Governor Scott should hasten to clear him? self of the unpleasant responsibility in this matter, which public opinion has fastened upon him. A Wise Law. Senator Dixon's bill for the protection of useful auimals, and to prevent the killing of small birds, which are unfit for food, de? serves the favorable consideration of the Legislature. Sportsmen will, of course, give their Bap port to a bill which proposes to pot a stop to the destruction of Rame out ef season, and the people, in general, will be the gainers by the prohibition o? that indiscriminate slaugh? tering which would end in the extinction of the wild animals and birds which occupy a prominent place in the South Carolina cui? sine. It may seem to be an unwarrantable interferer ce with "the rights of the citizen"' to refuse any possessor of a shot-gun fhe privilege of using it when and where he may please, but the delights of the individual must, for once, give way to the public good. There is, also, an obvious reason for pro? hibiting any person from hunting over the land3 of another without permission. The mere ownership of a dog and gun shouid not give the owner the right to ride or walk, through fences and over Heids, without re? gard to the injury done the growing crops, or to the meek oxen and bashful mule whom poor marksmanship may put in peril. The clause of the bill which prohibits the killing of small birds such as blue-birds and mocking-birds, whose ilesh is unfit for food, is of great importance to thc agriculturist. In France it was found that, as the small in? sect-eating birds were destroyed, the yield of grain to the acre decreased. There was no check upon the ravages of worms and grubs, and stringent laws, we believe, were adopt? ed for the -encouragement of the propaga? tion of 6mall birds, as well as to protect them from the net and gun. We may be sure that if these birds, which are unlit for food in themselves but are the natural guardians and protectors of fruits, plants and vegetables, are allowed to be wantonly slain, the injury to the farming and planting interests will be serious in the extreme. THE petition cf the Board of Trude of | Charleston against the passage of the Me? tropolitan Police Bill was laid before the State Senate on Friday, and ordered to be printed. _ _ WHEN the Sinking Fund Commissioners report to the General Assembly what prop? erty and asset3 of the State they have sold, we hope they will give the names of the buyer?, as well os the price paid and the dis? position made of the money. If valuable se? curities have been sold for a song, the public would like to know who are the lucky pur? chasers._ Litt-rature. THE LILY AND THE TOTEM, OR THE HUGUENOTS IN FLORIDA. By Wiliam (Minore Simms. Cnatlesion, S. C. : Walker. Evans & Cogs? well. 1871. Though les J known l han most of Mr. Simms's works, this is one of the most charm? inger them, and we are glad to eec a new edi? tion of it so handsomely brought out at the present time and In our own city, so long the home of the lamented author. The "Lily and "the Totem" belorgs to a class of writings gen? erally known os the '-Romance of History,*' but differs trom most works of the kind in ad mlttiog fewer departures lrom the absolute records on which it is based. In fact, the narratives to which Mr. Simms has here given such touches of his lively fancy as their bold? ness of detai1, in certain parts, seemed to re? quire, arc so intrinsically romantic that any great exercise of the author's Inventive pow? ers was entirely unnecessary. The old French histories of the eaviy experiments of the Hu? guenots in co'oolzing America, and especially that of Coligny, in Florida, are full of start inj tragedles, dark eventp, and picturesque and exciting incidents, and read more like ro? mances than like sober narraiives, as they really are. With the added charms imparted by Mr. Simms's facile pen, they are irresistibly attractive. If the "Legend ol Guernach," the "Adventures of Dr. Erlach," the "Conspiracy "ol Le Genre." "Itacana," and the "Narrative "ot Le Barbu," to say nothing of other parts of | the book, be not perused with absorbed atten? tion by all classes of readers, our judgment is great'y at fault. Our great novelist, historian and biographer has gone lrom among us and can give us no more fresh works. We hope our people will show their appreciation of the rich legacy he has left us b" commencing the re-reading of his published volumes w'tl the "Lily and the "Totem." Soi Gale.
