SEWS OF THE DA T. -Gold closed on Saturday at 8{a9. -In New York, on Saturday, cotton closed weak; uplands 22 ? cents; Bales 2492 ba'es. -The snow blockade on the Pacific Road continues. The whereabout s of several trains are unknown. -The Liverpool cotton market closed ac? tive; uplands lOid, Orleans lOJd; sales 30,000 bales. ? -The Russian fleet has been -^ordered to Pensacola, whence Alexis willi embark alter his Western and Southern tour. -The Richmond papers announce the death the Hon. Wm. H. Macfarland,* one of the most prominent citizens of that place. -It is rumored that the United 'States Min iBter Deloog Eas accepted a mission to the Great Powers from Japan, similar to Burlin? game's from China. ? -Dublin advices state that O'Donobue asked to resign his seat in Parliament, his views re? garding the Home Government being opposed to those of his constituents. '.-The Erle Railroad Company already has a new vice-president in place of the murdered Fisk. The gentleman selected to fill this posi? tion Is Mr. 0. H P. Archer, one of the direc? tors of the company. -A test suit against ex-Collector Murphy, of New York, to iecover assessments made from the salary of an employee for political purposes, has been commenced. If successful manj similar suits will follow. -The citizens of Rhode Island who are dis? franchised by the property qualification lor suffrage are signing a petition to Congress, asking the National Government to enforce In that State the amendments to the Constitu? tion of the United States. -The Berlin correspondent of the London Times states that an augmentation of the already vast armies of the Fatherland bas been decreed. "Tba yearly contingent will be annu? ally increased by a number sufficient at the end of tweive years to place a new army of 11 330,000 men at the disposal of the war office. 11 This ls the reply of the Germans to the dreams of revenge which haunt the people of France. -The Richmond Enquirer recently announc? ed that "a builder of this city, who bas been inconvenienced for the last eight or ten days by tbe weather in the erection of a house which be has contracted for, yesterday tele? graphed to the Weather Bureau at Washing? ton to know if the fine weather then existing was likely to continue throughout the week, a id was answered,1 Yes; go ahead.1 The gen t.eman has so much faith in his it-formation hat he has made preparations to recommence his work to-day.n -The death of Major-General Halleck redu? ces the number of major generals in the army to three. This , ls the number which the law of 1870, consolidating the army, required that it should be reduced to before any vacancies should be fltled by promotion. The military division of the South will be abolished in con? sequence of the death of General Halleck, but the two departments which now constitute lt -tb at of the South, under General Terry, and that of the Guli, under General Emery-will remain as separate commands. -The Grand Duke Alexis was snow-balled in St. Louis last Tuesday. While riding around the city with a party of friends*, a gang of boys was encountered who instantly recognized the imperial visitor. With a chorus of yells, "There's the Juke!" and "Give It to the son of a Czar!'' the mitrailleuse of snowballs was discharged. Royalty docked beneath the fast descending missiles, but ducking availed not, and Alexis smiled a grim smile as the Demo? cratic snow trickled down his neck. The mind of the average American gamin ls not up to a decent respect of royalty. -Tbe Society of Commercial Travellers in New York hos Issued a circular calling atten? tion to the decision of the United States Su? preme Court in Ward vs. The State of Mary? land, which, they say,1 'makes null and void *? all license laws of any State or city in the Union relating to commercial travel lera." This, of course, ls not a correct statement of that decision, which was to the effect that no State can impose any different tax on citizens of another Slate than it Imposes cn its own citi? zens for the transaction of business. These who approve maintaining and enforcing, if possible, the Virginia statute imposing a li? cense tax upon commercial travellers, con? tend that tbat statute does not disc rim'nate between citizens of other States and those of Virginia; that, in fact, an equal tax is laid on both. Two test cases are understood to be made up, which may perhaps reach a final d?? cision In the course of a year. -The officers of the steamer Florida, which has arrived at New York, confirm, under oath, reports that that veEsel was overhauled and searched by a Spanish cruiser. At eight o'clock A. M. the Spanish war vessel Vasco Nunez de Balboa, which had been watching the Florida in port, was seen passing Waler Island under steam and sall, directly io track of the Florida. At 1.30 A. M. the war steamer bore down 01 the Florida, and at 1.46 A. M. the smoke ot a steam vessel was I I seen to windward, when th* war steamer hauled to the northward, in a parallel course to that c." the Florida. The strange steamer proved to be the Halifax and St. Thomas mall boat. The war steamer then bore down on the Florida, with her crew at quarters and her guns run out ready for action. When the war steamer waa In speaking distance, she fired a blank shot at the Florida, and lowered a boat to nearly the water'* edge. The United States flag was then hoisted on the Florida. Ten minutes after firing the first gun, the war steamer fired a second gun, and the shot was seen to ricochet astern of ihe Florida. The Florida was then hove to, and the war steamer came towards her. -Mrs. Wirt SIkes, or-as she still chooses to be known in professional lile-Olive Logan, ls ont with a card, disclaiming all sympathy with the' u?ltra-progrees%nIsts of the "age In regard to marriage." The -somewhat Impo? lite hints that have been thrown out in cer tain quarters regarding her recent marriage are repelled with no little vigor by the lady. The ceremony was not a "concession," as some had said; lt was "a free-will offering of love to and confidence in each other, and a practical protest against a growing license of opinion regarding the Christian institution of wedlock." As for the "monstrous doctrines-' that are now held and promulgated by some of her former frlenda and coadjutors, BheiB utterly opposed to them. When she made her Bpeech at Steinway Hall before the Women's Convention in 1869, ehe did not dream that Bhe was speaking in behalf of a cause which would ever be scandalized by the heresies of later days. At that time Bhe urged her hear? ers to wage no war on the household gods, ?Ld this Is her position still. 8he still thinks a happy home the best thing there is on sarth, and believes that the old-fashioned marriage ls the only proper basis of lt. The City Finances. We like Mayor Wegeners message to .the City Council, because it is the frank expres? sion of the opinions of a thoughtful man who has a firm faith in tbe future of Charles? ton. As the weight of taxation is determin? ed by its proportion to the income obtained from the property taxed, we cannot go so Tar as to say that the taxes in Charleston are no more burdensome than in New York and Baltimore. But as it is plain that the pressure of taxation ia lightened as trade and commerce increase, we promise the City Council our hearty co-operation in the work of restoration and development now in their care. Tile first' subject to be dealt with is tbe city debt. Mayor Wagener discusses it warmly, and, in the main, with business-like discretion. The key to his argument is, that the City of Charleston cannot aflora to break faith with ber 'creditors; that there shall be no direct or indirect repudiation ofy any public indebtednesss; that the owners of city securities shall not be deprived of one farthing of their just dues. What the Mayor proposes is : * . 1. That the holders of past due city stock be invited to exchange the same for six per I cent tfllrty-year non-taxable gold bonds. 2. That where the holders of past due stock decline to make the exchange, "the patri "otic citizens" of Charleston be invited to j subscribe for Ibe new bolas at par. i. That $30,000 b? annually applied to the re auction, by purchase, of the outstanding j city debt. i. That all holders ol city stock, which may hereafter fall due, shall have the privilege cf exchanging the same for non-taxable six percent, bonds. >. That all Improvements ot lots and lands be j exempted from taxation for the period of j five years. There is no doubt that even the talk of re mdiation injures the prospects of a commu? nty. It repels new capital; it drives away be timid capital which had liugered baft nd n the hope of better times; it prevents com-1 nerciol development, by suggesting, that nen who are faithless in their corporate ca-1 jacity are not likely to be over-scrupulous in heir personal transactions. We know that here are in Charleston sensitively honorable I neu who are anxious to resist the payment if what is known as "the railroad debt" of be city, and even these unimpeachably up .igbt citizens would find their business credit i fleet ed if Charleston seriously endeavored o repudiate her obligations. It must bc I )orne in mind, however, that only the force >f what seemed to be an inexorable neces- j tity led uny class uf citizens to talk and Trite of repudiation. They eaw that the in :ome of the city from taxation could not, or tho present, be increased; that holders I >f past due stock were suing the city and ob aining judgments; that each year brough! a iew load of matured claims and prospective itigation. They were disheartened and lespalriDg. They gave up the fight, and as lonnced that the debt could not be met, md therefore must, by book or by crook, be j cot rid of. We hope that the improved for-1 unes of the city will satisfy the doubters hat we caa pay ear way out of oar diffical iee. Let us bear no more of municipal repu liation. -The city stock is now taxed two per cent. | ipon its market value, or, ia round Agares, me per cent upon tbe par value, wbich tax educes the rate of interest to five per cent, t is proposed to give, in exchange for the | last due stock, new bonds bearing six per I lent interest in gold. This is offering a j jreat inducement to the bolders of the itock. They obtain a security which is lasily negotiable-which bears a fixed rate >f interest in coln, and is payable in coin at naturity. This is given in place of a claim which cannot, in any other way, be made I jffective without a tedious law suit, We are lot, therefore, surprised to learn that large iol9ers of past due city stock have ex? pressed their willingness to make the ex-1 :hange at once. Bot we may expect to And some holders if past-due stock, or stock falling due, who I ?viii not renew their loans by taking new joads. What do the City Council intend ,o do about these f" The Mayor, in his mes lage, proposes ."to induce our patriotic citi? zens to subscribe for" the new bonds, where the holders of the past due stock re-1 fuse to make the exchange. We confess that this looks like taxing patriotism very ?everely, and if it be expected to pay the recalcitrant holders, dollar for dollar, ont of I the proceeds of patriotic purchases, this I part of the Mayor's scheme is open to grave j objections. ; It is just as well to look difficulties square- j ly in the face. A six per cent, non-taxable bond of the City of Charleston will not sell it par ia opnn market for some time to come. The citizens who now subscribe for these bonds, at par, mp kc the city a donation of twenty or twenty-five cents on every dollar. J iVhy should they be taxed for the payment )f a debt which is only their's in common with every other citizen ? If every dollar .hey subscribe cancels a dollar and a qa ar-1 ter, or a dollar aud a half, of the public debt, j .he citizens may be induced to make the sacrifice; but it is not right or reasonable to J isk them to take seventy-five cents for one I Jollar in order that Mr. Shylock may get one I lollar for what is worth seventy or seventy- j ive cents. There is the further objection j bat the past due stockholders will not take lollar for dollar in bonds if they, by holding j jack, can obtain dollar for dollar in money, j Po hint at paying off the over due stock at j jar is, to our mind, to defeat the whole plan >f renewal. And yet an adjustment of the >ppo3iDg interests seems to be practicable. We would say to the stockholder, "Charles? ton has looked down to the bottom of her J "parse. She acknowledges the justice of "year claim, and m ea ps to pay it But yon "mast either give ber time, or offer some In "d a cement which will enable her to pay on "the nail. She can give yon a new note "bearing better interest than the old one, "and certain of payment at maturity. If you "won't take this Bhe will pay yon seventy "five cents on the dollar in money. This is "the best she can do at this time." We are confident that they who did not accept one proposal would accept the other, and we are equally confident that enough new bonds could be sold at seventy-five to meet the claims of all the cash-exacting creditors. While upon this subject we desire to call the attention of the City Council to the Or? dinance of March 9, 1869, which authorizes the conversion of city registered stock into coupon bonds. This ordinance is still of force, but it bas never gone into operation. It is important that the conversion should be allowed, as the immediate eflect would be to enhance the value of city stock without adding a cent to the debt. The ordinance was carefully drawn, and was fully approved of by the public at the time of its passage. Only the eccentricities of the Pillsbury Coun? cil, we suppose, made it a dead letter. With regard to the rebuilding of the burnt district-a project of which we earnestly ap prove-^we deem it necessary to advise the Council to weigh carefully the constitution? ality of the proposed Ordinance before they place it upon the statute book. The Ordi? nance, to the non-professional mind, is in palpable violation of the tax cl i uses of the State Constitution. If this be found to be so, the difficulty might be met by allowing a drawback of taxes to persons building on vacant lots, the drawback to be equal to the difference between the tax upon the unim? proved land and the tax upon the same land when built upon. -We have approached this question of the city finances with an honest desire to aid the City Council in devising a plan of adjust? ment which shall be just and practicable. . We have made no captious objections, and it is proper that the weak points, as well as the strong, of every new measure of mo mentehould be lajd before the public. If our remarks throw any new light upon a vexed and difficult question, our whole pur? pose is served. Ipstetter's Bitters.
