VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1883. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A THE STATE CAPITAL. THE PROPOSED NEW COURT POR CHARLESTON COUNTY. A Bright Idea from Byas-The Blue Ridge Railroad Change-Distinguish- | ed Visitors for Charleston-A Colored Cowhiding Altair, &c. [FROM OUB OWN RKPOBT?R ] COLUMBIA, S. C., January 20. After the two legislative storms, incidental to the impeachment proposition and the Judi? ciary election, there bas come a groat calm and a wondrous dearth of legislative news. Both Houses of the Assembly yesterday held brief and unimportant sessions, and then al lowed themselves a recess until Monday, when lt 13 expected that the smoke of the recent battles will have rolled away, and tney can re? turn to their little debating clubs In peace and .quietness. In the House, however, there were I the one or two Inevitable squabbles, one of | them being upon the investigation as to the -disappearance of the granite in the State? house yard, and another upon the bill to in corporate the Pawnbroker's Company of Charleston. This measure proposes to incor- [ porate W. E. Elliott, John Cancker, T. E. Dixon, R. B Artson, A. Smith and Edward Mickey as a pawnbroking concern, and to forbid the existence of more than one com? pany of the kind in any town or city in ihe State, thus giving to the favored individuals .above meutioned au exclusive monopo- ? ly In Charleston of this mischievous but lucrative business. The bill was strenuously opposed by Hurley and other Charleston members, and defended by Elliott, Mickey and others, but no definite ac? tion was had upon lt Another weary debate was had upon the bill lo incorporate the Me? chanics' and Farmen' Building and Loan As? sociation of Richland, which appears to be a sort of caicli-penoy affair, some-1 what upon the principle of a big raffle, but it was finally passed to a third reading by a decided majority. Of the billa Introduced the most Important was one by Hunter to create a Superior Court lu the County of J ?Charleston. This measure would seem to be j a portion of the general scheme aimed at In the metropolitan police bill, that ls to wrest from the Conservative cozens of Charleston -the well-earned fruits of tuolr glorious vic? tory of last summer, and to subvert under the pretext of Republican government the prin? ciples of self-government so far as applied to that city. Trie following ls a careful synopsis .of the bill, which waa simply read by Us title and referred lo tbe Judiciary committee: Sections 1 and 2 provide for the establish? ment of a court to be known as the Superior J Court of the County of Charleston, said court to consist of one Jusi ice, to be elected by tbe .Genetal Assembly, and to hold his office for four years at an annual salary ot $3500 per | ?nnum. Section 3 allowa the said Justices to practice law In other conns. Section 6 pro Tides that the same clerke and sheriffs as now | authorized shall serve for the new court Sec? tion 6 requires ihe justice elect to call a ses -Bioti of the new court immediately after elec- , tion. Section 7 gives the Superior Court con- J ?Current jurisdiction with the Court of Common [ Pleaa lu all civil actions wherein the amount I In litigation does not exceed Ave hundred dol? lars; exclusive appellate jurisdiction in all causes from trial jusiices' courts, and original Jurisdiction in all criminal causes less than capital and not conferred by law on trial jus? tices, and directs that in all cases the same law?, rules, powers and practice shall ap? ply and prevail as lu like casos in the Courts cf General Sessions and Common Pleas. Section 8 provides that grand Juries drawn lor the general sessions and < grand juries drawn for the new court shall < Interchange s-rvlces and attend either > court a? occasion require*. Section 9 defines f the ex officio powers of ihe Justice created by I this act Section ll provides for. four regular t terms lu each year, to begin on the first Mon- ' days of January, April, July and October. Sec- I Lion 12 provides (bat appeals shall lie from the I Superior Court to the Supreme Court In all cases within the Jurisdiction of the former. Section 13 provides that prosecutions io erl mi-1. sal cases before the Superior Court shall be 1 conducted by the attorney-general or the solid-, tor ol the circuit Section 14 provides for the I ! transfer from the docket of the General Ses-1 filons to the Superior Court at Its first term. Section 15 abolishes the City Court of Charles ton, and ls In the lollowlog language : The act of Assembly, passed In the year 1801, estab? lishing the City Court ol Charleston, and the j several acta ia amendment thereof, and any , and ail acts and parts of acts conferring upon j the Mayor of the City of Charleston cr any j member of the said City Council ot the said City, or any member of the said City Council as eucb. authority to hold any court for hear log and determining of any cause whatsoever Iualclally, and also all acts and paris of acts I ] nconslstent wlih this bill, or repugnant to it, I < ls ?nd are all and singular hereby repealed. | i The doughty champion of the Governor, Byaa. of Georgetown, started off on a new i tack yesterday and introduced a bili, which E seeks to create a condition of financial chaos < at one fell blow by repealing all acts, parts ol t acts, resolutions, and everything else that has i ever been passed upon tho subject of the issue, i sale or hypothecation ol State bonds. This i highly original proposition, from which lt would seem that the member, having got be? yond hiB depth tn past floaocial legislation, wants to rub out and bfgin again, was sent to . the ways and means committee, where lt will 11 probably stay. ? In the Senate but little of importance was done. Messrs. Corbin and Leslie amused 1 themselves with a long debate over a bill of 1 Leslie to establish a road ia Barnwell County, J and Corbin made one good point when he ' ?aid that the people of the Slate were sick \ and tired of the mass ol special legislation that had encumbered the Btatute books of the ' State during the past lew years. The bill was 1 finally passed to tis third reading, and wUI ; doubtless be adopted. Mr. Arnim bad evidently been reading THE CHARLESTON NEWS, and had heard of Ihe new device for funding the debt, for he Introduced a resolution reciting that, whereas it ls re? ported that the entire debt of the State cf I I South Carolina is to be funded by the Issue of 11 new bonds, and it is inexpedient ihat any new bonds should be Issued until the total amount of the State indebtedness be ascer? tained, and requiring, therefore, that the com? mittee on finance be instructed lo report without delay to the Senate all bills and reso? lutions in their possession relating to the re? gistration of all the bonds and stocks of this] J State or In any way connected with the f finances of this State. This little arrangement i was quietly smothered by being referred to tKat tomb of the Capulets, the judiciary com? mittee. Outside or legio.^tlve matters affairs are very quiet In Columbia. Quite an importaut meeting o? the Blue Ridge railroad Company was held last evening, at which some iurtber changes In the direction of the road were made. Connel J. S. Cothran resigned the po? sition of presld?-\t of the road, Colonel John J. Patterson, the vice-president of the Green Tille and Columbia Company, was elected to fill the vacancy, and Colonel Thomas J. Steers was chosen vice-president. General Butler, General Garv, Colonel Palmer and Major Gu lick also withdrew fromibe board of directors, and their places were filled by the election of Messrs. C. D. Melton, Thomas J. Steere. George W. Waterman and James M. Allen. Mr. F. S. Jacobs was elected secretary and treasurer. These changes, I am told, are to be considered as a part of the reorganization of the company, effected a few weeks ago. The election of Colonel Cothran was then announced as a merely temporary arrangement, and he and the retiring directors now withdnw In conse? quence of the pressure of other business en? gagements. It was rumored at one time that .Colonel Cothran was merely holding the position in trust for Thomas Scott, Esq., the railroad king of Pennsylvania, but whatever .grounds there may have been for such a rumor. It appears now that the autocrat of Pennsyl? vania and New Jersey is not at present stretch? ing his comprehendive grasp lu this direction. The City of Charleston is to have the honor of a visit during the coming week from the Joint special smelling committee appointed a few days ago to invesilga'e the affairs ol ihe phosphate companies. The committee c in? sists of Senators Smalls and Wlmbush, and Representatives Hedges, Rivers and Myers, all colored, and ihey bave appointed Mr. .Klogman, of Charleston, clerk. They are em? powered to send for persons and papers, em ploy counsel, clerks nnd stenographers, and do various other things, and with the broad field and the examples of ol her investigators that are before them, It is difficult io believe that they will get through by February 1, which Is the date on which they are ordered to re? port. Their first meetlnz in Charleston is call? ed for next Tuesday at noon, <n the office of Sheriff Mackey. The judiciary committee of the House have advertised a very important me.UIng at the Statehouse, on Monday evening, the 22d in? stant, to consider the metropolitan police bill, and to hear arguments pro and con upon the subject. The committee, In their notice, say : " The entire Charleston dele? gation, as well as other persons, who may favor or oppose the passage of the bill, are Invited to meet with the commit? tee." I am told that the entire Charleston delegation are opposed to the measure, and this should secure its rejection by any fair minded legislative body, but it may be that the attendance at this meeting or a few of the ciitzens ol Charleston would have a good effect. The past few days have not been without a number of personal rencontres to make things a Utile blt lively, and to console us to some extent for the Budden ceesatlon of the vitu? perative debates in the House. Yesterday afternoon the doughty Byas, by some miscal? culation of angles or distances, ran his lace several times against a cowhide which another colored gentleman (Policeman Williams) kept putting lu his way. He quite spoiled the cow? hide, by covering it all up with blood and little pieces of skin, and Williams says he never can use lt again. It ls said that Byas had been taking certain unwarrantable l?benles with the policeman's wile, and hence tuc biding. Byas swore he would have r-r-revenge, and he went to ihe nearest trial Justice's lo get Uve dollars worth. PICKET. NEW YORK FASHIONS. COLLARS AND SLEEVES. Plain collars and cuffs of very floe linen the latter attached to an underalceve-remain in favor for the street. The prettiest collar ls made of but one thickness of linen, with a band of the material stitched lo border it; it ls a flat collar, quite narrow nt the back, and broadens In iront to moderate sized points; the square cuff fastens wilh linen buttons. Heavy lilian sets are embroidered by hand and edged with narrow Valenciennes lace, but the work Is too fine to show to good aa vam age. A col? lar with a standing band edged with em? broidery, ha' turn-over embroidered points. The cuff to match has embroidery about two inches deep on the upper Bide, which narrows to an edge on the under part of the cuff. LACE COLLARS are of every conceivable stylo and shape. They may be deep and pointed, or long and narrow; they may be large and square-cor? nered, or they may he large and round, but with all of them the underlie? ve ls made with the lace arranged to fall over the hand. A stylish collar has what is called a cascade bow of Valenciennes lace and needlework, which ls a sort of spiral or ladder arrange? ment which falls hall the length of the walsr. Large collars or fichus of crepe de chine are exceedingly dressy. These collars, which can only be worn with a silk or with some equally dressy material, show very exquisite shades ol' salmon, pink, blue and a tew other tints; they ire edged with blonde lace,with Valenciennes, Duchess, and sometimes with black lace. LACS SETS AND TRIMMING LACES. Among the latest importations of expensive laces we find point lace sets, which consist of El cellar, cuff and a handkerchief valued at 1300 and $400; handkerchiefs alone range from (15 to $150. Fan covers are from $12 to $40. Chantilly oversklrts vary from $700 to $1000, while for a round point overskirt $2000 is asked. Among the trimming laces the most popular ire the round point and point applique, Vulen :ieBne8, Chantilly, guipure and French trim liing lace. White and black Duchess, though tu exceedingly rich lace, ls Rot quite so popu ai- as it was"upon its first appearance. From ;wo to five inches In width, lt varies from five 0 twenty dollars a yard. Flounces of round joint cost from five hundred to one thousand Ive hundred dollars. HANDKERCHIEFS. Very elegant handkerchiefs are generally .rimmed with Valenciennes, for the reason irobably that this lace repays carelul doing ip better than most other varieties. We no rice In an article devoted to this subject that 1 good laundress, after iron lug Valenciennes ipon the right side turns the lace and lays it ipon a thick folded blanket, raising the Igures by punching each one separate with ,be smooth round end of the fluting scissors, it is Bald that when the figures are raised the ace looks as well as new, but that tbe work s so tedious that lrom ten to twenty dollars s asked for doing up an elaborately trimmed leese. NECKTIES. The scarf made of the thinnest white mus In, and edged with a deep fell of lace, ls ex? ceedingly oecomlng to most ladies. Hand lome silk, of some bright color, trimmed with white lace, makes a pretly tie to be worn with i black silk dress. Very lovely ties are ol the loft twilled India silk, cut blas, and hemmed >n the sides; they are finished with a rich assel fringe. The favorite colors are the "ai o test shades ol blue, the palest green and rose, and what ls, perhaps, the prettiest of all, in exquisite tint of frou-frou or salmon color. LADIES' CLOTH COSTUMES. Suits of ladles' cloth are among the mid? winter importations of French modiste?. Printemps, a peculiar shade ol gray, ls the uvllsh color. Tue cesium" has a polonaise with vest: the skirt open? widely below tbe waist to show the dress skirt, which ls orna nented up the front breadth with a heavy ?outache, or with cords as thick as a lady's inger. A cravat of faille, the color of the Iress, ls fastened below the throat with a slip mot, and the ends are tied again at the waist. )llve tints of brown and green, dark plum md cypress green are also shown in cloth suits. Bedlngjtes, with short capes reaching >nly to the shoulder, are made ol cloth of hese quaint colors, and worn over velveteen >r silk skirts. NEW TUNICS. Anew feature in arranging tunics ls tying ;bem at the back with bows placed down the Hiddle. The bows are large, wilh short wide inc's. Other tunics are left open behind, In :he form of two wide scarf ends, and terml aate with loops of ribbon. When skirts are ruffled up the back breadths almost to the waist, the tunic Is merely a scarf tied behind ind forming a wrinkled apron in front. A jinner dress of the palest Nile green faille, lust sent over by Worth, has two wide flounce? straight across the three front breadths, whll'j mother wide flounce surrounds the trahi, pasees up the Bides to the waist, ls turne d jver, and crosses the back, forming a short upper skirt on the simulated court train. FINE OLD LACE. Many of the handsomest dresses Wor.h has made this season are trimmed with 'Iiis fine old lace, the "real thread" that out grand? mothers delighted to have for cay borders. This combination of ihe lightest und darkest shades of a color is also eeen In his rich toi? lettes, and hie last fancy is to cjmbine thick and thin fabrics, such as velvet and tulle. An evening dress made by him nas a trained skirt coveted with mauve tulle flouBces dotted with white jasmine; over this is a tunic with short apron and long scarf back, made of prune-colored velvet, with fringe ?T the same shade; low velvet corsage, witu Grecian folds of tulle, anda spray of while jasmine on the left shoulder. KC-KL?X OOTRAOE AT THE STATEHOUSE. Yesterday afternoon, shortly after the ad? journment ot the House, the doughty cham? pion of his Excellency Governor Scott, the Hon. Benjamin Byas. of Orangeburg, was set upon by a colored policeman (Williams) in the lobby of the House und thrashed with a cowhide in a most severe manner. It ls said that the honorable member had used Insulting language to the wife of Williams, and hence bis deserved punishment. Bystanders state that Williams encountered Iiis victim at the head of the stairs leading down from the lob by, and strenuously belabored him every step to the bottom.-Columbia Phoenix, of Satur? day. _ -Governor Scott has appointed Mr. W. A. Au8Lin, ol'Greenville, a notary public, and also renewed bis commission as deputy surveyor general. Also appointed John J. Wilson, county commissioner or Fairfield County, vice ?. G.

Half the Town In Flames-$80,006 Worth of Property Destroyed-l?amei of the Sufferers-Losses, Insurance, <Sfc, Some further particulars of the great fire at j Abbeville Courthouse, briefly announced In [ Saturday's NEWS, reach us by mall. Mr. J. F. C. DuPre, the Intendant ol the town, writes under date of Friday last: A Are occurred In our town this A. M., (one o'clock,) which entirely consumed the court? house, the Marshal House, trie stores of J. Knox, Trowbridge & Cc, Troegar fe Bequest, and Kapshan <fc Sklarz; also, liquor establish menta of L. H. Bussell, Christian & Wilson, J. Knox, and Lee Russell, together with all the smaller buildings on the two squares, occupied by freedmen. Loss about $75,000. insurance about $10,000 or 112,000. Clerk, sheriff and probate judge lost many valuable papers. A correspondent of the Columbia Union writes : About two o'clock thia A. M. a fire broke out In the kitchen adjoining L. H. Russell's prem? ises. The building being composed of dry wood, there was no visible means whatever of extinguishing the flames; in fact the occupants had barely lime to escape from the flames, some of them escaping in their night clothing. The flames quickly spread to the adjoining buildings, and the entire square, (on the same side,) being built of wood, was quickly laid in ashes. The courthouse was also destroyed, and it was only through the united efforts of the citizens that the entire village of Abbe? ville was not consumed. As it ls. how? ever, the main business portion of the town is destroyed. The main business store (John Knox's) was burned to the ground. The hotel-the Marshall House-with the new and handsome cut ola, also fell a viel Im to the fiery monster. The mart, known as the "Jem Store," waa destroyed. In this case, however, an insurance was lo their keening to cover all losses. Taking a rough estimate of the losses and Insurance, out of the entire $80,000 desiroyed not more than half ls insured. The Marshall House was not Insured for more than one-sixth the loss; and Knox's wholesale establishment was not- In-, sured for more than one-tenth. There ls a current report on the streets that a lady and child has been burnt. This rumor, however, ls contradicted by some. The Union remarks: This is a grut?r. calamity, especially for au In? land village U\c Abbeville, and, to add to the disaster, ihete seems lo have been but a very limited utiioiu t of insurance upon most of the property destroyed. As to a fire department, lhere was nothing of the kind-not even an ordinary baud engine. If there la anything that can stimulate the citizens of our country villages to exertions in Ibis direction, a disas? ter of thia kind ought to be sufficient. JOTTINGS ABOUT THE STATE -Dr. John S. Rich, an old and respected physician of Manning, died on the 13th Inst. -Mr. Martin Ponder, of Plckeas county, who was stabbed by Mr. Hells m Hunt, has since died. Thc stabbing it ls said, was in self-defence. -The following ls the result of the election held on Monday last for Intendant and War? dens of the Town of Walhalla: Intendant, C. E. Watson; Wardens, A. Taylor, Wm. C. Kellh, C. P. Sheeba, W. Korber, John Kaufmann, J. M. Yarborough. -B. M. Wallace, collector of Internal revenue, visited Anderson last week, In com? pany with special detective?, and confiscated several boxes of tobacco illegally stamped. He also confiscated over four hundred dollars' worth of tobacco in Abbeville, last week. Of course, the merchants are entirely Innocent of my attempt to evade the laws of the country. The responsibility of these Illegal stamps in every case has been affixed on parties known to the merchants from whom they purchased the tobacco. It further appears that the pur? gase of tobacco from wagoners is attended kVltn more aungwul ?Ula vtiarautori lluu nUnv it ls bought from any other source. HARK, TWAIN AS AN EQUESTRIAN. In a recent lecture on Nevada, delivered In Chicago, Mark Twain told of a "horse trade" that he made there. He spent cou ilderahle time at Carson City. Everybody rode horseback in that town. I lever saw such magnificent horsemanship as that displayed In Carson streets every day, ind I did envy them, though I was not much DI a horseman. But I bad soon learned to tell a horse from a cow, and was burning with Impatience to learn more. I was determined io have a horse and ride myself. Whilst this ihought was rankling lu my mind, the auc? tioneer came scouring through the plaza on EI black beast that was humped, and-like a dromedary, and fearfully homely. He was going at "twenty, twenty-two-two dollars for i horse, saddle and bridle." A mau standing near me, whom I didn't know, bul who turned out to be the auction? eer's brother, noticed the wistful look In my eve, and observed that that was a remark? able 'horse to be going at such a price, let ilone the saddle and bridle. I said 1 bad half i notion lo bid. "Now," he says. "I know that horse. I know him well. You are a stranger, I take ir. You might think he is an American horse, but he is not anything ot the kind. He ls a Mexican plug, that's what lie is, a genuine Mexican plug?' but there was something else about the man's way of saying ,t that made me just determine that I would own a genuine Mexican plug-If lt took every lent I had. And I said, "Has be any other Advantages ?" He hooked his finger In Ihe pocket of his army shirt, and led me to one side and ultered, "Sh ! don't say a word ! He un outbuck any horse in America: he can out buck any horse In the world." Just then the auctioneer came along. "Twenty-four, twen Ly-fonr dollars for ihe horse, saddle and bridle." I said, "Twenty-seven !" "Sold !" I look ihe genuine Mexican plug, paid for him, put him in a livery sluble, let bim get something to eal aud get resled, and then In the afternoon I brought him out In the plaza, and 60me of the citizens held him by the head ind oihers held him down to the earth by the lull, and I got on him. And as soon as those people let go lie put all his feet In a bunch to? gether, let his back sag down, and then he arched lt up suddenly, and shot me one hun? dred and eighty yarda; and I came down again, straight down, and lighted in the Biddle, and went up again. And when I came down the next lime lilt on his neck, and seized him, and slid back into the saddle and held on. Then he raised himself straight in the air on his hind feet and Just stepped round like a member of Congress, and then he came down and went up the other way, and walked around on his hands just as a Bchool-boy would. Then he came down on all fours again with ihe same old process of shooting me up in the air; and the third time I went up I heard a man sav, "Oh, don't he buck !" So that was "bucking." I was very glad to know it. Not that I wus enjoying lt, but thea I had been taking a general Burt ofiuler-st in lt and had naturally desired to know what the name of it wa?. And whilst I was up, some? body hit ihe horse a whack with a si rap, and when I came down again the genuine bucker was gone. At this point of ihe interesting Bcene, a kind-hearted stranger came to the rider, told him that bc had been taken tn, explained the mvsterlous terms, and gave him ihe com lorilnz Information that anybody In town could "have told him all about the horse If he had Inquired. _ -The Springfield Republican relates that the workmen In the engine-house of the New Haven Railroad were greatly amused, a few days ano, by the movements of a weasel I hat hid killed a rat nearly as large as himself lu one of the engine-pits. The side ol the pit being perpendicular, and the rat too heavy tor the weasel io carry up lo his teeih, the ques? tion arose how he should get him out.

PREPARING FOR WAR. OUIt HARBOR DEFENCES TO BE STRENGTHENED AT ONCE. Big Guns to be Mounted on Sumter and Moultrie-What la Going on Below Savannah. The note of preparation for a possible un? pleasantness with Spain, or even a hostile hug from tho Russian bear, can be heard even in our quiet and peaceful har? bor. It ls certain that orders have been issued for the overhauling of the harbor defences at Charleston, Involving im? portant changes and the expenditure of large amounts of money. Forts Moultrie and Sum? ter are about to receive their proper arma? ment, and the work ol mounting thirty or forty heavy guns in these works is under con? tract, and will probably be begun to-day. Fort Moultrie ls In good repair, but Fort Sumter will require a vast amount of work to make it | once more the key to the harbor. The Savannah Advertiser of the 21at says that the steamship Magnolia, on ber last trip from New Tork, brought out some twenty or more laborers, this Instalment to be further increased at that port to the number ot one hun? dred men, to constitute the working force of Colonel Ludlow, of the United States Engi? neers, who will at once commence operations In building extensive and formidable earth? works, and otherwise strengthening the forti? fications of Fort Pulaski. The working plans are looked for by every mall, when the force employed will at once be dispatched to Fort Pulaski. Barracks for the quartering of one hundred laborers are to be first erected out? side of tho fort, when the work of throwing up extensive earthworks in the Y of the fort will be at once commenced. Guns of Alteen inch calibre are to be mounted. The work, aside from the equipments, is to cost twenty-six thousand dollars, and lt ls surmised that, In view of the present aspect of affairs, especially the complications with Spain, the work of further strengthening Pulaski, in addition to [ the earth batteries, will be continued by the government, transforming it into one of the strongest forts on the Atlantic coast. Captain R. T. Renshaw, who was lately staying at the Mills House, left on Friday night, In obedience to orders from the Navy Department, to take command of the Woosack, a splendid ship ot sixteen guns, belonging to the South Atlantic squadron. 1 liesa move? ments look like business, and war news and rumors are the order of the day. A TRAGICAL STORY OF ROYALTY. Two Romances ot the Peerage. M. D. Conway continues to write interesting letters to the Cincinnati Commercial. Here ls an extract from his last: While the Prince of Wales is recovering, lhere has passed away au aged and poor wo- , man whose strange history, thus recalled, re- [ minda us lhat whatever the faults of Ihe pre? sent princess may be, they are free from eome of the deeper vlllanles of their ancestors, while at the same time lt reminds us how false and necessarily unjust the whole system of j monarchy ls. The woman who has Just died, Mrs. Lavinia Ry ves, was the skeleton of the ro\ al closet, and, though she be now dead, she has left two children who may bring up- es-tito-f ana again tue ugiy secret wntcn rennies to stay J hld. Mrs. Ryves was the suppressed Princess, in the justice ot' whose claim to be Princess of Cumberland and Duchess of Lancaster nearly everybody believed, though fne resolute eva? sions of consecutive governments made hers a case ol a wroug without a remedy. Toward the close ot George H's reign there was about the court a certain Rev. Dr. James Wilmot, ol the ancient family of De Ville mot, whose wife was daughter of King fctan Islaus of Poland. They bad a beautiful daughter, who was Eecrelly married (there was then no royal marriage act) to Henry Frederick-, Duke of Cumberland, Dr. Wil? mot performing the ceremony. George III, who had now succeeded to the throne, wit? nessed the marriage, as did Chatham and the Earl of Warwick. They all signed the cer? tificate, which is still In possession of ihe Ryves family (I have seen lt,) and the signa? tures to which have been attested before the courts by many persons familiar with the handwriting of the personages named. Atterward, however, the Prince of Cumber? land publicly married Lady Anne Horton; but George the III refused to receive her at court. The first wife died heart-broken In the south of France, but lett a daughter, whose birth was certified by noblemen. George III made careful provision for the child, who was known as Olive Wilmot, and subsequently she was made Duchess ol' Lancaster. She waa very in? telligent and married the celebraced artist Serres, of the Royal Academy, from whom, however, she was separated. Lord Warwick acquainted the Duke of Kent with the fact, and the Duke was deeply inter? ested to have Mrs. Serres's rank attested; and alter her death he continued his exertions for the daughter who represented her, the woman who haB Just died. This young girl afterward married a Mr. Ryves, from whom elie was di? vorced on account of Ill-treatment. A passage In Robert Owen's aullblography shows the in? terest which -.he Duke of Kent took in the matter. "From the documents existing and carefully preserved," writes Mr. Owen, - there can be no doubt of the legal claim ol this family to their being (he direct descendants ol the Duke ol Cumberland, brother to his Ma? jesty George III, and entitled to his rank and pronerty. His Royal Highness, the Duke ol' Kent, introduced Mis. Serres to me as his cousin, and as legally entitled to tho rank ol the Princess Olive in Cum? berland. He was deeply Interested in her cause, and In that of ber only daughter and child Lavinia." There was something touching in the feeling which George III had in this matter. In his will he bequeathed to '?Olive our brother ot Cumberland's daughter, the sum of ?15,000, commanding our heir and successor to pay the same privately to our said neice fer her use, as a recompense for the mis? fortune she may have known through her luther. The Court of Probate decided Indirect? ly lu favor of the authenticity of all the docu? ments; but when Slr Fitzroy Kelly and others pressed the mailer to a direct decision, every court managed to evade it. Each court Bald you must go to another. Meanwhile, the fami? ly ot Ryves had become sunk lu poverty, and could hardly live, much less prosecute a claim ot this kind. It not only involved rank, but, over a million pounds. The reigning fami? ly dumbly, without argument, resisted the whole thing. Poor Mrs. By ves spent all she had In the matter, and becoming aged suffer? ed considerably. Hearing from a friend that I had taken some inierest in this case, she sent me word some five or six years ago that she would like to have me call upon her. I lound her living In a mean apartment In the suburbs of Camdentown, and yet all was very neat. It was ver; cold, and there was no Ure ; plainly because she could not purchase it, though ehe made some other excuse. It was very sad to see this aged woman amid ex? treme poverty-utterly alone, too, her sons having gone to sea-struggling for a prince? dom. She was rather fine looking, willi a eirong eye and brow. She showed me a let? ter she had received from the Queen in reply to one in which she (Mrs. Ryves) described the povery into which sue was reduced by the de nial ol her rights. Queen Victoria's letter Informed her, in sub? stance, that she was willing to give her chail table aid provided she would give up her claim to ba the Princess of Cumberland. Having read this letter over to me, the little woman straightened herself up, and wilh flashing eyes said, "I may starve here, or freeze here; but I will never abandon my cause; for lt ls Justice !" I lost signt of her tor some years, but a few months ago she called upon me to show me some curious old documents bearing upon the case. Bhe was very aged; privation had told upon her, and I verily believe that it was main.y the Inspira tlon of her canse which warmed and fed her, I and kept her alive. Amid all her sorrows she was cheerful, quaint and Interesting. She ?ied, in her seventy-flfih year, or congestion JESgnt on by cold. No doubt it wai death ?hwVS6ufflcient warmth and nourishment "Om?n o?\at la8t kllled a bl00d rel4tlve of the edTb'y8 BgS? T' be of a small farmer and shopkl??V,? f?P l?ge o? Bolas, Shropshire. StrangL1"?T S" usual there, and, from a suspicion or?u /Ides, hospitality was refused. The ?g pressed his demand, and prayed that *f might stay UH morning, evenir they would give him no more than a chair in the stone floorea lower room. The grudging boon was at last granted, and the next morning the family and their forced guest made ac? quaintance with one another. The strang? er's enjoyment of the society of the Papa and Mamma Hoggins was enhanced'by the pres? ence of their daughter Baratt, who, in the full bloom of rustic beauty, chained the soi* disant Mr. Jones's eyes, and, through his eyes, his heart. And now the adventure of an hour, connected with intricate roads and I coming night, was destined to affect the wan? derer's future Hie. Now, from that village, from those fields where Sarah milked the cows, from that dairy where her white arms persuaded cream into butter, Mr. Jones could not stir. He had stated to inquirers that his particular function was that of an undertaker; a vocation which might account for the ten? der melancholy which weighed on him; or j that name might have darkly hinted to Sarah that he was ready to undertake every office, however unaccustomed, in which she played a parr. The presence of Mr. Jones In the village In a short tim? became a fixed Idea. The Inhabitants looked upon him with respectful tear. As weeks went on, he made occasional absences from Bolas, always short, and confined to two or three days; and on his return he seemed to abound with mo? ney. The natives of8alop are not dull. They put the money and the absences together, and they whispered the result to one another. They felt sure Jones was a highwayman. After a while Mr. Cecil-we may as well drop the alias -became the avowed suitor of Sarah Hog cin8; but the predatory notion still clung to ber mother's mind, and she sturdily set her face against the connection. The father's logic was simple, and ultimately prevailed, '.Why, he has plenty of money." He showed bis easy circumstances, Indeed, by taking land, and by buting a site on which be erect? ed the largest house in the neighborhood, now called Burleigh Villa. It stands amongst fields, facing the Wrekin, some miles distant from that landmark. They married. A daughter was born to them, and died. She waa buried lu the little church-yard; but her | grave ls not forgotten. News at length reached Mr. Cecil, then become Lord Burleigh, which Induced him to travel lo London. His wife accompanied him. Although he had been at great pains to bave his wife educated and taught accomplishments, tradition still de? scribes her as ignorant of her rank, and there? fore she felt surprised at the reception which they met with at the great bouses of nobles and commoners on their road. They arrived at Stamford. They drove up to the Burleigh House, and then was put the question whether Sarah would like to be mistress there. The denouement followed. The son of Sarah Hog? gins succeeded in 1804 to the tille of Marquis of Exeter. He died in 1867, and the grandson of Sarah Hoggins ls now the owner of the Marquisate and lair Burleigh. I close with another blt of romance which has Just come to light here. On the ill fated ship President, which went down some thirty years ago, all on board (as was supposed) being lost, was a scion ot an ancient aristo? cratic family, Lord Fitzroy Lennox. The young nobleman was mourned by his family. But there came a young man lately lo this country who claimed to be Lord Lennox, and whose larally-like the Tichbornes-refused to recognize him. He died a day or two ago. According to his story he did not Ball from New York on the President at all, but, alter gnjng un board-returned, for some reason, ashore. The statement, wilbout the faintest trace of | eccentricity or symptom of aberration of mind, he maintained to his dying day; and hie ' last request", when In full possession of con? sciousness, which has, we know, been acted upon, was that he should bu curled lu what he asserted was his Irue name, and that bis eoffla-plate should be Inscribed with his full style and title, viz, Lord Fitzroy George Charles Gordon Lennox. Monday, there? fore, saw the remains (If the Inscription on ihe funeral urn is to be credited and accept? ed in the spirit of the truth tablets should Seoerally carry with them) of Lord Fitzroy ennox committed to their last resting place, attended only by three mourners and by some tweuty fellow-clerks, who followed as a last mark of special respect. The coffin plate bears tbe following inscription : "Lord Fitzroy George Charles Gordon Lennox, aged 61. Died December 3, 1871." Passing under the name of Henry Clay, but gene? rally known as the "Captain," the deceased obtained a situation with the London and Southwestern Ballway Company, and has been employed as clerk at their London goods terminus for the last twelve years, earning the respectful esteem ot all his felJow servants. _ _ M. D. C. TUE NEW CABLE. A Shilling a Word-The Plan Officially Explained. A new project for cheap telegraphic com? munication between England and America bas now been started, as appears from the fol? lowing circular, which has been sent to the London papers by Mr. G. T. Snead, of Minc? ing lane: It is proposed that the Governments of Great Britain and of the United Slates should purchase the existing cables and Newfound? land land lines, paying for the same In termi? nable annuli ies, and charging only such rates for the use of the cables as will meet the an? nual interest charge. For this purpose one fourth of the existing tariff would suffice for ihe present-that is to say. messages of tea words could be carried for 10s., Instead of ?2. The gro;s earnings of the Anglo-American and Freuch cables, including the churu of re? ceipts accruing t > the Newfoundland Company, have now reached about ?700,000 per annum, and thia amount is earned with only one-half of the available power being employed. Tue existing companies arc earning, with ?700,000 a year gross receipts, about fifteen per cent, on their ordinary capital after allow? ing a considerable sum for reserve. But in view o? the possibilities of competition the shareholders would be content to dispose of their property without demanding exorbitant terms. It may be safely assumed that they would accept ?150 for Anglo-American stock, and ?30 for French cable shares o? ?20 each. The land Hues and cables ot the Newfoundland company can be acquired for about ?800,000. The total cost ol these lines lu the case of an Imm?diate purchase by the governments would on these terms be less than ?5,000,000. To provide for the Increase of but-lness result? ing Irom a lower rate two addi)ional cables ought to be laid irom Ireland to Newfoundland or Halllax In Nova Scotia, and the land lises Increased lu proportion. Thc total outlay would then be about ?6,400,000, and this could be obtained on Ihe Joint guarantee of the Eng? lish and the United States governments by granilng annuities ol' four per cent, lor thirty years, on the explratlou of which ihe cables would become free of a'l charge except for maintenance. Tue annual sum to which the governments would thus commit themselves would be ?320, 000 For this annuity they would hnve made over to them the three working cables, now earning ?700,000 a year, with only one-half of their cupacity employed, two new cables, and the connecting laud lines. It bas been found that with each successive reduction in rates the use of the telegraphs has enormously increased, as is evinced from the iact that the earnings are now much great? er with the rate of ?2 man they were formally at ?20 per message : Ai one shilling per word, and with four cables out of me ave constantly em? ployed, the receipts would be.?470,000 The expenses or all the linea, Including repairs, wou.d not exceed. 100,000 Leaving a balance or.?370,ooo to meet an annual charge, terminable in thirty yeara, of ?320,000. It ls apparent, however, that Ihe reduction to one Shilling per word would not be final, but that still furtherreductions might be mad? and the number of cables lncwaisd c?? same plan of terminable annuliU s. without be? coming any burden on the two governmentsT The terminable charge for ten cables wool* be ?485,000 a year, which would be earned lr eight of the cables In working order at the rate of7d. per word, and so on ad libitum. On th? ? expiry of the annuities the cost o? communi? cation between the two countries would not ba . ? greater than the charges for Internal commu? nication. < . ?.
