Alate official decree direct s an increase of five centimes on the price of cigars manufactured In France from Havana tobacco.~ Imported Havana cigars 01 the first quality, which formerly sold at fifty centimes, are to be sold at sixty centimes In future. -There is no reason to doubt any longer that Senator Schurz will ref use to abide the renomination ol Grant by the Republicans, If such should be the result of the Philadelphia Convention. The senator has declared, in positive terms, to several personal friends ! that he will not accept such a decision, but, with those who agree with him, will appeal to the country against lt. He expresses himself as-confident (hat General Grant wUl not be renominated. -The Civil Service Supply Association, established in London to furnish the English Government officials and their friends with the necessaries of life at the lowest possible price, meets with great opposition lrom the retail dealers, who assert that their trade has been ruined. The association, lt ls stated, has fifteen thousand outsiders on its books, and some of Ks members desire to restrict the al? ready immense business. It ls believed that, unless the operations be confined to supplying members of the civil service alone, the atten? tion of Parliament will bo called to the associa? tion. -A Paris correspondent, describing the ora. tory of M. Thiers, says: "Before beginning and while delivering a. speech, M. Thiers drinks Burgundy as openly as Pitt used to drink port. A sip is taken from the red tumbler; then a sip is taken from the white; then In due historic order, the black-edged handkerchief ls made to do its work; finally, when all these little tricks of manner have been pone through, a somewhat feeble but clear voice speaks out with rapid utterance and beautiful articulation. Soon the voice strengthens, untlll at times, a sentence will ring through the Assembly. The gestures grow more animated, epigrams are shot forth, like stone 3 from a catapult, and loud cheers and approving laughter stop the orator now and then, enabling him to take breath, a new sip of wine and a fresh rub of the handkerchief.' -The interviewer has fcnnd Bismarck. Not even the seclusion of his Pomeranian manor house or the sanctity of his palace In Berlin, where the trophies of the war, In the shape of Louis Quatorze mantel-clock?, Sevres table? tops and delicately inlaid cabinets bury the occupante in new luxury, can keep out the In? sinuating correspondent. The European Jour? nalist has even improved on his American ex? ample, and Oking the Prussian Chancellor at a disadvantage has made bim talk in the roundest periods about matters on which he usually keeps his mouth close sealed; Most .Interesting to us ls the Prince's opinion of the United States, a nation whose principles he fails to adopt for bis own country, but for jv&l?h lie manifests the greatest reverence. Bismarck is kind enough to say that he always reads a great deal about the United States, and that our history ls a very atlractlre kale dtoscope. It ls with a sort of incredulous wonder that he speaks of the liberty of speech and of the press here, which Inevitably re? sults in bringing public oplolon to the top. -The New York Savings' Banks appear to have caught the Infeotfon of fraud which 1B spreading so rapidly from government de par tn. o nts through every line of private busi? ness. The developments in the case of the Bowling Green Savings Bank, In which the deposits seem to have gone directly Into the pockets of the officers, fictitious notes being substituted to represent the money stolen, and ot the Market Savings Bank, where the secretary bas spent the money confided to his keeping In stock and other gambling, are suf? ficient to startle the community, and amply Justify the excitement in New York. For lt is not the wealthy or the speculative class which such catastrophes affect. A score of failures in Wall street" or In the Stock Exchange would fail to cause such evil a 3 the plunder? ing of one savings bank. These institutions are chartered on a semi-benevolent basis, as the means of affording secure investment for the earnings of provident Industry; and a fail? ure to carry ont this design, even through carelessness, is a crime beyond that o? ordi? nary peculations. The m.in who, likeConk Un, can usc the hard-earned savings of poor men, and the ecant legacies oi widows and orphans for reckless speculation, is a villain whose crime cannot well be estimated. -A Frenchman has gone into the "battle ot Dorking" business. Assuming the part of an old soldier of the landwher, he tells his children what happened alter the overthrow ofEnglnnd at Dorking. Denmark was annexed to Ger? many, Bismarck died, the annexation fever be? came very high, and at last the Emperor de? cided war against Sweden. Russia and France remonstrated and declared war against Ger? many. The Emperor had been counting on an alliance with Austria and Italy, but the ! latter was unprepared, and Austria had all she could do to put down an Insurrection in Hun? gary. There was treason In the German army. The pro^p^ai contingents and those of the annexed kingdoms mutinied. The people of j Alsace and Lorraine rose and slew the garri? sons of Strasbourg and Metz. A French army took Bavaria and another went around by the way of Hanover. Everywhere the people re? ceived the invaders with open arms. At last the "battle of Berlin" was fought, and Ger? many was conquered. Russia was willing enough to grant terms, but France Insisted on entering Berlin and did so. Europe was re? constructed on the basis of 1815, with one or two changes. Italy was only so far dismem? bered as to be compelled to restore the States of the Church to the Holy Father. England was punished for her refusal to assist France in 1870 by the loss ot all her colonies every? where. Prussia had to pay back the five mil? liards to France, and a very heavy Indemnity to Russia In addition. Thus everything termi? nated to the satisfaction of France. All this is supposed to have happened in the year 1875. Charleston. hartog the past four years the trade and commerce of the City of Charleston have steadily improved. There bas been no as? tonishing stride forward in any one season. This city bas not been able to scale at a mighty leap the heights where rest the sub? stantial rewards of mercantile supremacy. Our progress has been inch by inch, and foot by Toot. Bat what ground wegala we i firmly hold. There is no slipping back. Charlestoij, as surely as summer Hows spriog, moves unswervingly and irresistibly onward. The railroads, of which Charles? ton is the terminal point, draw, month by month, a heavier tribute from the West and South, and, with equal zeal, minister, as far as they may, to the wants of tho South Caro? lina public. A fleet of swift steamships, plying to the ports of the Nortb, bear the fleecy wealth of the Cotton States and the I precious products of the Southern forests to their distant markets, returning heavily ladea with the riches of the Old World and the New. The cultivation of fruits and early vegetables, pursued ia the face of many cfcficulties, is an established branch of the trade of the city. Already the work of mining and manipulating the pbosphatic deposits of the Sooth Caroliaa basia as? sumes gigantic proportions, employing squadrons of stout vessels to bear the quick? ening freight to the sterile fields of the Nortb, and to the crowded plaias of Europe. Sulphuric acid factories, among the largest ia the world, sad companies for manufac? turing commercial fertilizers, complete in every mechonical detail, give activity to capital aad occupation to tbe laborer, while they spread the name of Charleston the whole conatry over. The provisioa trade grows io importance evory seasoo; the job? bing trade ls recovering its hold upon our neighboring States; the cotton business of the port L road ens aad deepens with un flag? ging regularity; the receipts of naval stores, of rice, of lumber, give even the chronic grumbler no cause for complaint. A Con? servative city government, from which much is expected, hos taken the place of the waste? ful and ignorant Council ot 1868-71. The | city is honestly meeting her engagements; the people are hopeful and confident. And yet, from Maine to the Pacific, Charleston is spoken of as a fallen city, as one which lags io the race, ns a worn-out, brokeo-dowo community which has, ia the present, noth? ing bright, and, in the future, no other cer taiaty than decay and commercial deaib. Norfolk and "Wilmington and Savannah have their prophets who chaut their praises, and cordially do we wish them Godspeed : Yet Charleston, which has a larger commerce than any city on the South Atlantic coast,is, according lo outside opinion, on tbe verge of | dissolution. The reason of this is plain. Charleston, although steadily improving in actual commercial prosperity, is, in appear auce, as war-worn to-day os when tho pillar of tire by night and the pillar of smoke by day gave the North the sigo of victory, aod the South the signal of defeat. Atlanta and Bichmond are budded ap; Savannah and Wilmington and Norfolk have hastened to smoot.be the wrinkles from their front. But in the very heart of Charles to J, thriving os the city is, the raak weeds flourish aad the green waters reek as they did tea years aga The travellers on pleasure and on commerce beat, the newspaper-men who think they see more io a day than oar owa people learn in a life-time, will not believe that Charleston is a progressive city while the burnt district staods desolate and bare, void of all bat the faintest show cf restora? tion aad improvemen t. It may be said, we know, that the barat district would have been rebuilt long ago U lhere were a suQJcient demand for hoase-room to mako building operations profitable. This, ia a measure, is begging the whole question. The difficulty bas been to obtain the necessary capital at a reason? able rate of interest ; for, by reason of the condition of the city credit, the advances which might be had from the city ander the Fire Loan Act could not be turaed to profit? able account. There is a change ia the situation. The present Council are sedulous? ly strengthening the public credit, and, re? cognizing tbe importance, from every as? pect, of building ap tbe city, they are taking measures to guard the borrower from the city against any serious loss. Another in? ducement is desired to be offered, viz: To exempt from taxatiou for five years all build? ings put up in the burnt district. Al pres? ent, the vacant lots returo a beggarly sum to the public treasury, and if, by foregoing all lacrease of taxes for a short period, the city caa couvert a bleak waste ioto a busy hive of iudastry, the whole cummunity must bo the gainers. Apart from the em? ployment given to mechaoics and laborers, and the streugtheoiug of every branch of trade, the building up or the burnt district would iucrease our population, augment tbe volume or our active capital, and place Charle8tou in her true positioo before the world. The appearauce of prosperity, and the possession of prosperity, acting togeth? er, aad reacliog upoq each other, would, in a few years, cause Charlestoa to grow with the rapidity of the proverbial cities or the West. When the City Council proposed the ex emptioo from taxation already mentioned, we pointed out that this might most surely be accomplished by allowing a draw-back equal to the difference between the present tax upon lots in the burnt district and the tax upon the sam?'lots wheo budded upon. Ia this geaeral shapp, Mr. Hurley bas intro? duced a bill in the House or Representatives ??to encourage the rebuilding o? the waste "places in the ?ity or Charleston, to make ?employment for the mechanics and labor? ing people, and for other purposes." Thia bill authorizes the grant of a draw-back for a term of five years of all State, county and city taxes upon improvements or buildings which may be made upon any waste place or burnt premises in this city. It is a wise and proper bill; one which Bhould posB without opposition. Charleston pays no un? important part of the State taxes, and what is asked for-her at this time, without im? poverishing the State, may make her rich indeed. The relation between Ihe seaboard and the interior is fixed and indissoluble. Charleston cannot prosper without giving of ] her prosperity to the people of the entire State. We hope, then, that Mr. Hurley's bill will be called up at au early day, and speedily become a law. It is a measure of the gravest moment to every man who has at heart the welfare of tba city. With houses springing up in every part of the burnt district, with Meelon g street, Broad street and lower King street rebuilt, Charles? ton would present an appearance of bustle and activity which would give outsiders that faith in ber magniOcent destiny which is now confined to her own hardworking people. . . _ _ Tile People'* Money-What shall Dune >vit h lt ? The tax-levy of last year was estimated to produce sufficient to pay the current ex? penses of the State, and redeem tho float? ing debt. Mouey has been pouring irjto the Treasury at an unprecedented rate; yet the January interest on the public debt re? mains in arrear, and no progress is made ia liquidating the loans which cost so terrible a sum for interest and commissions. As the Comptroller-General confesses his inability to say what the amount of the public debt is, lhere would, in even the offi? ciai mind, be Borne reason for suspending the payment of interest; but we carrt see that the funds in the Treasury could be em? ployed to better purpose than in releasing, with a view to their instant cancelment, the State bonds hypothecated in New York as a security for money lent to the State. Tho question of the legality or illegality of the hypothecated boods does not a tl oct the liability of the State for the money which its officials borrowed, and a payment of this floating debt would save the people heavy charges for interest, besides releasing three J dollars in bonds for every dollar of debt so paid off. This, to our mind, is a better way of reducing the debt than that of allowing the hypothecated bonds to be sold out at twenty-five or thirty cents upon the dollar, with the faint hope of being able, one of these days, to shake off tbe liability alto? gether. Half a million in money paid out now would reduce the State debt one and a half millions. But possibly the South Caro? lina Radicals are BO strong that they had rather face the opposition this summer wiih a debt of $16,000,000 than with one of less rascally proportions. Tinline Itldge .Tot?. The new Blue Ridge Bill, which will be found in our Columbia correspondence, is even more infamous in character than tbe telegraphic sum mary of its provisions led us to believe. As every oue knows, the Blue Ridge Bailroad Company is head over ears in debt, and its only marketable assets are four million dollars of the bonds of the com? pany guaranteed by the State, which may be worth five cents on the dollar. Yet the new Blue Bidge Bill proposes (1) that the State shall pay all tbe debts of the company, upon delivery to the State of guaranteed bonds equal in amount to the debts presented for payment; (2) that the debts of the com? pany may be prov'ded for by a sale of any ? bonds of the State to any amount; (3) that the debts of the company may be exchanged for State bonds at market rates; (4) that an indefinite amount of State bonds may be issued and sold to pay the debts of the com? pany; (5) that the worthless guaranteed bonds may be converted or funded, nuder any conversion act, into direct bonds of the Slate. We undertake to Bay that a greater swindle was never submitted to the South Carolina Legislature. Before it, the Green? ville Bill and the Port Royal Bill would hide their heads, in shame to be so outdone. Good New? for Rice Growers. All acounts from Washington agree that the project of repealing the duty on foreign rice is practically killed. The indignant howl of Cuffee gave the coup-de-grace to the scheme. < i m* i ?-. i ? ? Cotton King Again. Reviewing the year 1871, the Manchester (Eng.) Examiner stales that the cotton dis? tricts have had a return of those busy limes which certain prophets told us some years ago had gone forever. The cotton manufacture, so far from having disappeared an one of the staple industries, bas more capital embarked in lt at this moment, and finds employment for a larger number of work people, than at any former period. do fient.
