NEWS OF TSE DAT. -Gold closed on Saturday at 9a9j. - -The New York cotton market closed firm ; uplands 20 cents ; sales 9833 bales. -In Liverpool there was no cotton market in consequence of tbe holidays. " ' -By the death of Hackett, the American stage loses its only representative of Falstaff, and the English stage has no actor really capa? ble of filling the part." ' -Messrs. Grant and Creswell have taken one step backward In their scheme of a gov? ernment telegraph, or rather their friends :n tbe Senate bave" done this for them, agreeing to report the Hubbard bili, which provides for the hiring Instead of the purchase or existing lines. -The latest rumors of fraud are connected with the recent sale of fire-arms and muni? tions of war to the French. It ls now assert? ed that the returns to the war department are about $4,000,000 less, th an the cash receipts from tbe. agents of France. Otber revelations offrande are promised.. i -In Strasbourg committees have been or? ganized to raise subscriptions to help to pay the Indemnity which France owes to Germany. - The Aleaclans are now within the boundaries of Germany. Thia act is a Bad and touching proof of their yearning for the people of the nation to which-they recently belonged. It is one of the most remarkable of recent events. -Russia may mean, peace; but if so, why Issue the imperial ukase just published, which fixes tbs military contingent to be raised by conscription in 1872 at six for every thousand males? The peace contingent has hitherto Tanged, from two to four per thousand. The levy-now proclaimed will be equivalent to the raising of from 130,000 to 140,000 recruit?, be? tween tbe ages of eighteen and forty. -The desperate illness- and the remarkable recovery of the Prince of Wales seem likely to furn" sh a sew chapter In medical as well as political history. The treatment of typhoid in old times was by depletion ; In more recent times lt has been.by alcoholic stimulation. In the present case tbii waa discarded, and tonics given instead. It is quite possible that the slice ese. ol tbe new treatment may give rise to researches which will end in the disuse of alcoholic stimulants In cases of disease where th.?exhaustion is so prolonged as In this. -The late Jacob Barker, whose d?a'.h, in Philadelphia, bas recently been announced, was one of the most remarkable men of bis time It is stated ihat at the age of twenty-one, In Kew York, he was owner ot four ships and a brig, and Blood high In business. He started penniless. Another i c st ance of extraordinary success at au early age ls that of Mr. Newcom? er, of Ballimore. Before he had au lined his majority he ls said to "have acquired control of the Baltimore Hour market. His career in life bas been remarkable. Although not an oldman, he ls one of the most wealthy and influential men in Baltimore. -The cumulative system of vc ti ag ls recom? mended in the new charter proposed for the Clly of New York by the commifee ot seven? ty, to be adopted in the election of forty-five aldermen-niue from each of the present State senatorial di stricte. .The voter in any of these districts, can cumulate his votes on any one candidate, or divide them between two or three, or as many other candidates as he pleases, so .long'os te casts but nine votes. Under this plan a minority of Republicans can concentrate their votes on one or two Repub? licans and-elect them, or even three or leur where-the Democratic majority ls not very large. In the same way Democrats can secure representation in a Republican district. -The revival of the plan" for adopting the .British system of one cent postal cards has already produced ? number of Inventions w?ch aim to combine the small size of the card in use in England with a means of con? cealing the writing, and thus obviating the objection urged against the system on the ground of the publicity given to correspond? ence. The English postal card is about lour leches long and.thre? broad, the letter being written on one aide and the address upon the other. The system, lt' is claimed, bas been a marked success pecuniarily, having added largely to.the postal revenues of Great Britain; but much 'trouble has been occasioned by the cards being used as means of libel, and by injury having been done, sometimes purpose? ly and sometimes Innocently, by senders of the cards, to the character and business of recipients. t American inventors now pro? mise to take away this objectoin, so that there shall be nothing to urge against the cards, their success as a financial experiment having already been proved in England. -Tbe Rev. Robert. Jefferson BreckinriJge, D. D., LLD , died last Wednesday at Dunville, Kentucky, after a long illness. He was born at Cabell's Dale, Kentucky, March 8, 1800. After studying successively at Princeton, Yale and Union Colleges, he took his degree in 1619. He then entered upon the profession of the law, but subseqently became a clergyman in the Presbyterian Church. In 1832 he was or? dained pastor of the First Presbyterian Church lu Baltimore, where he remained for thirteen years. In 1854 he was elected president of Jefferson College, Pennsylvania, but after two years accepted the pastorate of the First Pres? byterian Church in Lexington, Kentucky, and became superintendent of public instruction for the State, io 1352 -'he was elected profes? sor of theology In the then recently-establish? ed. seminary at Danville, Kentucky. Dr. Brecklnridge was active in most of the re? ligious, moral and philanthropic movements .of his time, and in the discussions incident to the division in the Presbyterian Church was eminently conservative .and temperate. He was the founder of the common-school system of. Kentucky. He edited several religious publication?, and wrote a book of travels, be? sides- a great number o? tracts and essays. In the slavery discussion he advised moderation on. bo th shies, but when the civil war broke out stood "by the Union caus*. -The monotony of metropolitan managerial lile was varied last week by the arrival at Kew York of several distinguished visitors from Cincinnati, who 'were warmly welcomed by Messrs. Morrissey, Heenan and others, and ^scened to :he St. Nicho:as wiih much pcrr.p, priof^U?rTumstance. The visitors all car? ried large black valises distended with green? backs, and their avowed mission was to "break" the gambling establishments of their hosts, or perish in the attempt. To this end, having refreshed themselves and brushed from their accoutrements the dust of travel, they repaired to the lairs of the ."tiger." At the expiration of the first session, the Western speculators returned to their hotel with some? what shrunken valises. The next night they tried fortune again, with no better BUCceBS, and at the end of the third night all their riches had taken wings and imitated the aerial convolutions of the dove. The ledgers of the gentlemanly proprietors of the studios Bhow that the amount of $42,650 was transferred to their account by their equally gentlemanly visitors, who, with barely money enough to pay the fare, and with very badly warped black valises, are now returning to Cincinnati, doubtless sadder, though possibly not wiser] men.

We are all in tbe habit of looking back; looking back upon merrier days when, "in | "the morn and liquid dew ol youth," the [ world seemed filled with joyous promise; looking back to the times when the blood sparkled merrily in the throbbing veins, and hearts beat high with confidence and hope; looking back to the brocades and laces which have sadly given place to the well worn homespun; looking back, in the misery ol defeat, to what time we drank the new wine of victory; looking back, from the plain, to the glittering heights where the travel-stained wayfarer began the journey of life; looking back from sorrow to gladness, from happiness to grief, from poverty to wealth, from sumptuous fare to the toil of winning daily bread. We ail look back, and happy are they who find, in the past, a worthy lesson, and a good omen for the days to come. They who have done.much may realize tbat they should have done more. They who have accomplished nothin< may waken to the knowledge that one other should not be added to the roll of wasted years. And the peoples who have known tribulation may see, as in a mirror, some of their faults, ere they turn their faces, steadily and resolutely, towards tbo labors of the future. What was left undone teaches what should be done, and what is done should teach what more remains to do. For South Carolina the year now ended has been one of mingled loss, and gain. The work of the husbandman bas been fruitful beyond expectation. While other States have suffered from unpropitious seasons, the crops of South Carolina have been unusually .abundant. A heavy yield of cotton, made J at a low cost, has been safely housed, and sells at a price which amply compensates the farmer for his toil. The sea islands, for j the first lime since the war, have escaped I the caterpillar and the drought, and, as a whole, have had a highly lucrative year. On the other side, we know that far more than the people have gained, by the sweat of their brow, has been stolen from them by public robbers. The State debt, which a year ago was about $7,000,000, is now not less than $15,000,000, and may be 530,000,000. Every eflortof the intelligent citizens to control l?gislation, in the interests of economy and decency, has failed. Tue Governor of the State, arraigned by his own party, has, for the moment, escaped punishment. And to tbe losses by official theft are added the rigors, without the benefits, of military rule. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in the upper counties of the State paralyzed their industries, and has seriously retarded their progress. Too .many young men, dis gusted and disheartened, have abandoned their homes, to begin life anew in the dis? tant West, ? Ail this is blue enough. Aye ! black and blue; but'there is a more cheerful side to the gloomy picture. The solid gain of the State, agricultural and commercial; the th?ftier habits of the people; their persist? ent and plucky wrestling with grinding care-theBe cannot be Btolen by the Ring in one year or ten. Tue fraudulent public debt will never be paid. All that the Ring can eitert is an exorbitant tax daring tbe lew months that they remain in power. Their crimes break them down. Before long, they will be driven forth, with the brand upon their forehead, condemned alike by Repub? lican and Democrat, by white man and ne? gro. It is as certain as anything in this' State can be, that 'he Legislature and the public officers to be elected this fall will be better men than those who, these lour years, have lorded it over the State. There is no dogged obstinacy to stand in the way bf re? form. The conservatives are ready to march Bide by side with their old opponents to achieve the triumph of intelligence and honesty over Ignorance and vice. Nor can the reign of terror in Ihe up-country long endure. That section of the State, is full of vigorous life. As soon as the heel of the soldier is removed, the upper counties will ag?ln move forward. And when the civil law ls rigidly and impartially enforced, neither white nor black shall want that full protection and security without which no community can flourish. The refugees will be glad enough, ere long, to come back home.. It will be the story of Mexico and Brazil over again. The frugality and the perseverance which are demanded of them if they would succeed abroad, will, as thous? ands have learned, make them even more successful among their kinsfolk in their na tive State. Charleston bas had both the crown and the cross. The efforts of her people to purify the Municipal Government have been unexpectedly successful This eily has a vigilant and a progressive administration, instead of one in which the leaders were knaves, fanatics or fools. There is new life in the streets and on the wharves. The railroads, of which Charleston is the termi? nal point, stretch ont their mighty arms farther and farther towards the West and South. Even the pestilence, which for months made Charleston a city of desolation, bas not seriously injured commerce or trade. There is every cause for encouragement and no reason for despondency. Charleston is ; mnylng onward. Her business is larger year by year, and next New Tear's day who? ever may, ia these columns, review the his? tory of 1872, will tell a glad tale of difficul? ties overcome and dangers past-of activity, advancement and content. Lei us put behind us all of the dreary past; ( that is gloomy and dispiriting-pick the wheat from the chaff, and never look back; ; except when we would malfe light of coming* peril by remembering that greater troubles were met and overcome. This State is bard to kill. All the rogues and rascals io Heath? enesse cannot destroy her beyond hope of resurrection. It may seem "that she is in extremis. The chuckling crew may declare that the great heart beats faintly, and the rattle is in her beauteous throat. But as sure as her sons are steadfast and*true; steadfast in working, aud true and loyal in spine; their mother, South Carolina, will rise again-pointing with pride to the honor? able scars of ill-deserved affliction, and wearing, in honor, the diader which they only can win who have borne the brunt ol battle, and who, from among the thorns of anguish^and Bullering, have plucked the blushing rose of prosperity and peace. Th? Land Commission Swindle. We print to-day a second instalment of the revelations of the Radical Joint Investi? gating Committee concerning the Land Commission Swindle. The committee show that the expenditures are largely In excess of the appropriations; that the whole a flair was "an outrageous and enormous" ff and; that Land Commissioner Leslie was ..paid $50,000 to resign; and that the State bas not. valid titles to one-half the lands' pur? chased by the Commission at from twice to ten times their value. Well may the peo? ple applaud the statement of the committee that legal proceedings should begin at once io bring "these fraudaient transactions to "light, and the corrupt complicators to "judgment." The whole history, however, is not yet done. There is more to come. WE LEARN from the Columbia Phoenix that Charleston, Georgetown, Chester and Fair? field are the only counties, so far, which have contributed the fall amounts asked of them, for the vindication of the supremacy of-the civil law ia the Ku-Elux trials. The first two counties gave more than was required Charleston having contributed fifty per cent more than her quota. It is hoped that the remainining counties will forward their as? sessments without delay. MR. JOHN W.
