The practice has probably been In vogue In other places than Tri .Qnclnnatl. -Chicagois Indomitable even In ber misfor? tunes.

Cu reaching home the gentleman be? gan telling the story of bis adventure to his wife, when she interrupted him by saying, . t>Wny, John, you left your watch on the bu? reau this morning, andi have been wearing It ali day." -Oar latest foreign flies, down to the 1st In? stant, show that all the London Journals are taking an active Interest In the discussion of the American "case," and all are quite ob? streperous. The Telegraph says that >(no such preten6lons'"(as the American demandB) bave been, or can be for a moment allowed," and commands the British Government to show that the nation Is "willing to dolts duty, bat resolute to uphold Us right," The Post at? tacks'the British high commissioners and ac? cuses them of Incompetency and carelessness. It considers that if they did not act advisedly with, regard to the contingency of remote dam. age, l,lt will be dlfCcu't to excuse the manner In which the treaty was drawn up." It does not blame the United States for construing the treaty as lt does. The Pall Mall Gazette takes nearly the same view. It belabors the much-enduring government and high commis* doners with much unction, and then allows that If .the indirect claims come within the! terms of the. agreement, "we must accept the responsibility forced on us by the negligence and Incompetency of our government, and pay the bill." But If not, not. The vigorous Mr. Otway, M. P., does not m|nce malters at all as the newspapers do. In a speech at Chatham, he declared vehemently on the subject of the American "case," and declared that be would fight rather than pay. Which bellicose vati? cination elicited ear-splitting cheers. -The election In New Hampshire takes place on the 12th of March next, and that in Connecticut on the 1st of April. Notwithstand? ing the Importance ol these political contesta cetng the first to come off in this, the Presi? dential year-there have been as yet no popu? lar demonstrations by either parly. It ls but the calm bet?re the storm, however, as Beeret electioneering ls said to be going on prepara? tory to active and exciting campaigns In both States. In New Hampshire last year the vote stood:. Weston, Democrat, 34,797; Pike, Re? publican, 33,892; Temperance and Labor Re? form candidates, 1132. The Republicans hope by extra exertion to turn the scale this year; bot the Democrats will not give up their hold upon the only New England State they have without a severe struggle. The present legislature removed some restrictions In the way of naturalization, and the Demo? crats expect to gain one thousand five hun? dred voters by that means, and assert that they .can count two. thousand Democrats or more who didn't vote last year, but will this spring. Tn ey talk of re-electing Weston by at least two thousand majority. The campaign commences this week in earnest, and great efforts will bo madefy both parties to secure the Legislature. In Connecticut last year the Republican candidate for Governor was elec? ted by barely one hundred majority over oue Of the most popular Democrats in the Slate. The selection ol a new man (Hubbard) for that office as the Democratic standard-bearer this year leaves op? n for the present the ques? tion whether he will be ablo lo retain his pie deces-ior's strength. -.?irom Hucheo" has written a letti-r to the Kew York Tribune, couched In lila customary plain, blunt language, explaining "briefly the reasons why ihe English people are startled and astonished at ihe sit ape-ol the American case. He begins by !aytag it down aa a posi? tive fact that any amicable settlement on the baals laid down by Senator Sumner is jost as Impossible now1 as lt was at the time of his celebrated speech; and that the idea ol admit? ting claims for constructive damages has always been regarded in England as absurd. This being so, the Joint commission WSB ap? pointed with the hearty concurrence of both nations. The resultant treaty was scanned with great interest, ano> according to Mr. Hughes, it became the universal opinion that the text only allowed for the reference o? direct claims for the arbitrators, and that the United States had consented to waive the previous claims for constructive damages. Mr. Hughes finds an additional evidence in favor of the latter sup? position in the protocol ef the conferences now published. He then shows how naturally the publication of the American case, reviving all the old claims, has excited the alarm and indignation of the English people. The Amer- I ican proposition, that all these mooted points may be safely left to the arbitrators for dec?s iou, does not please Mr. Hughes, who confes? ses that the risk appears too pre at. The only conclusion in his mind is that ^ugland's only course ls to take a preliminary objection to the case, In so far as it relates to constructive damages, and that, If the court should decide I against England, the only alternative would be the deplorable one of withdrawal from ar-1 bltratlon. The City Connell and the Bine Ridge Bill. We hope that the City Council, at its meet? ing to-night, will take action in opposition J to the infamous Bine Ridge Railroad billi ?ow before the State Senate. The citizens or Charleston are deeply concerned in de? feating this bill, because lt adds a load of $1,800,000 to the debt of the State without any just equivalent; because it gives the present Blue Ridge Railroad Company the power to extend theirW or build branches to any part of South Carolina, and because it places the whole Blue Ridge Railroad property, costing about four million dollars, I tn the hands of a party of greedy specula? tors who paid only $13,000 for the $1,300, 000 of State stock which controls the road, and who do not even promise that they willi complete the road when, freed from all debt w h a Lacro ver, it is left in their care. We believe that the sale of the State stock in the Bine Ridge Railroad is of quest io o a-1 bte validity, and that the Ring directors and President Patterson himself were not legally elected. But, apart from these points, we have the certainty that the City subscription to the stock of the road,is upon the verge of J. extinction, and that jt is proposed to give to a clique of irresponsible tricksters -a power j' I which will i enable them to divert* from j" Charleston the whole benefit o[ the railroad I system, to secure which the City has in? curred a debt of more than a' million dollars, jj i We think that the City Council should protest against the passage of the Blue j Ridge Bill, and should instruct the City At? torney, Mr. Corbin, who is also one of the Senators from Charleston, to take such steps 'as may be necessary for the protection of our interests. This will, at least, prevent I the supporters of the Blue Ridge bill from saying, em they do say, that Charleston j cares so little about her million of money I and her Western connections, that she is not J willing to submit to the Legislature the rea- j SODS why the mensure should not pass. A statement sp gratuitously uDjust should re-1 ceive an unequivocal contradiction. I j The Charges' Against the County Offl- J , . dals. j 1 The Grand Jury of Charleston County I \ make out a strong case against the county J ; officials. It is, of coarse, a one-sided state ment; but tbc-cbarges are so grave, and so j well agree with public report, that, - com-1 ; ing as they do from a body of jurors, the I j majority of whom are colored Radicals, they f j deserve instant investigation. In this de- J. mund the accused officials will, If they know J i what is good for them, heartily join. Silence j ' now is ?quivalent to a confession of guilt j1 The Grand Jury charge the County Com-11 missioners with evading legal scrutiny of ] their transactions; which evasion is aggra vated by the fact that the Commissioners control the paying ont, every year, of about one hundred thousand dollars of county I funds, and by the unpleasant circumstance that seven indictments, for fraudulent practi- j ces in office, are now pending against two of the present Commissioners. The Jury recom? mend that the Commissioners BO indicted be tried without delay; for "they already stand "convicted by public opinion of being chiefly "responsible for the present scandalous con? dition of the county finances, resulting in "virtual bankruptcy, -as numerous citizens ? and county officials are institutiog suits "against the county for their just dues." Against the County Treasurer the charges are that he has paid out $170,000, although continuously announcing that "there were "no funds ia the treasury;" that payments were made clandestinely to speculators, who had bought county checks at- a large dis? count; that persons "intimately connect "ed with the County Treasurer'' are specu? lators in count; checks,;, that the greater part of the tax collections for the current year have been used to pay checks chargea able against the tax levy of 1870, with the speculating holders of which checks "the "Treasurer has been, and is, acting io "concert." They recommend, therefore, j that the County Treasurer be required to fun. i ah a full statement of all moneys paid I out, with the names of tho persons to whom money was paid, and with the original vouchers. These are the main points of the present? ment; and we repeat that the charges of the Grand Jury are so definite and grave ns to demand a judicial investigation. This is due to the accused as well as to the taxpay? ing public. ' j Cul Bono! Just as there is consolation in the belief that the historian of the future will justify the Southern States in their attempt to establish their independence, so is there sol? ace for the taxpajersof South Carolina in the knowledge that the Radicals themselves make frank avowal of the corruption and extravagance which, in the concrete form of a two per cent, tax, press with numbing force upon the energies of the people. But although the constitutional rightlulness of secession muy, some day, be conceded, that tardy justice will not, compensa e the t-'outb Tor ul! she has lost and all 6he has suffered. Though we were right, we were defeated and overcome as though we were wholly and systematically wrong. And, if Congressional and Legislative committees report that onr Radical raiers are, in their view, as impu? dently lawless as we knowthem'to be, where and when shall these avowals take a practi? cal and beneficial shape ? The Radical Ka-Klnx Committee of Con? gress are forced to say that they can give "little weight to any" assertion made by Governor Scott; that the condnct or the State officials in raising money at the rate or three dollars for one is "indefensible;" that bribery has prevailed,, in the Legislature, to such an extent that legislation was controlled by a band commonly called the Forty Thieves, who would no?permit any impor? tant acts to pass "until they were satisfied;" and that the facts disprove the allegation that "the deplorable financial condition of the "State" was caused by the Ru-Klux organi? zation. These assertions, as far as they go, con? firm what the Democratic press have writ? ten, week after week, during the past four years.' Nor do they tell as plainly the tale of fraud as do the trebling of the State debt, and the tenfold increase or taxation. They are lesB shocking, because so familiar, than the knowledge that the State Senate delib? erately retain In his seat a man whom their own committee declare to have been defeat? ed by his Democratic opponent. Well may we.think that, if an exposure or the rascality or the State Government could give us relief, that relier would have come long before this 1 But we must continue the straggle. We mast paint the thieves and perjurers in their true colors. But the purification or the government, after all, must be the work or the people or the State. They have nothing to expect from Congres? sional 'committees, and nothing to hope for from the leaders in Colombia who boast or their sacceasful trickery and glory in their infamy. Only by patient labor can the peo? ple meet the enormous demands made upon them. Only by firmness, by pers?v?rance, by liberality of sentiment, by .a steady look? ing to the wished for goal may the people compass their deliverance. We must stand ready to choose the least of the many evils which surround us. We iii us t be willing to take what we can get, as the first step to obtaining all that we can desire. A Fact Tor tbe German?, The New fork Tribune has Information that Baron Gerolt, the veteran Prussian Minister at Washington^ was not recalled by his govern? ment on account of any exigency in Us own politics, but on the complaint of officers of dur government that he manifested undue zeal In serving the Interests of Germany during the war with France. If such complaint was made, lt was probably because the Baron exhibited too mnch curiosity in regard to the supplies of government arms and ammunition furnished to France, a matter that ls about io be Investi? gated by Congress, for there ls no limit to ihe. Insolence of the military Bing toward those who dare to interfere with any of the plunder? ing schemes which have been hatched In and about the White House. This Bing derives all its power from tue President; but whether General Grant ls its tool er accomplice ls a; question which seems to puzzle some of the most ardent supporters of the administration. The "Hf?then Chinee" Scare. The question of Mongolian Immigration does not seem likely to become difficult for many years to come. The commissioner of mining Industry shows in his recent report lhat to the 35,933 Chinese assigned to California in the census of 1860 the census of 1870 adds only 14,377, although extraordinary efforts pad been made to induce emigration irom the Flowery Land. In all the Southern Slates there are but 868 Chinese, and In the Middle and Eattrrn but 178. In Ihe mining sections we find 1949 Chinese In Montana, 3142 In Nevada, and 3330 In Oregon. In the Territories alone their total is 7075 in an aggregate population of 442,730 excepting the lud?an Territory. It ls evident (rom these statistics that the white working? men of the Norlh and the Pacific coast and the colored laborers of the South have but lit? tle to fear from the competition of cheap Chi? nese labor. The Great Sea Tunnel. The tunnel under the Straits of Dover, from England to France, is at length to be com? menced, a joint stock company for the purpose having been organized and registered in Lon? don. Two millions sterling will be required for the experimental driftway a, and the tun? nel can be finished In five years for five mil? lions sterling, working day and night from both ends. The distance ls twenty-two miles, and as no shafts for ventilation are spoken of, it is understood that the plan includes two parallel tunnels with trains running only In one direction through each so as to keep up a constant current of air. We entertain no doubt of ihe ultimate success ol this plan; and when it shall have been accomplished there can be little doubt that lt will be the progeni? tor ol other great works of the same charac? ter under the sea, Just as the short sub-marine cables were the beginnings of the great At? lantic cables. Applying ihls to the great pro? blem of shortening the lime occupied by the transit between Europe and America, we find that if a tunnel were driven under the chan? nel to Ireland and steamers run from Galway to ihe coast ol Newfoundland, and a tunnel connecting the latter, with the main laud, via Cape Breton, the sea voyage might be reduced to three or lour days, and the whole time be? tween London and New York traversed by sea and rall in about a week. New Booka. FAIR TO SEE. By Lawrence M. Lockhart. Au? thor ol Double or Quits. New York: Har? per & Brothers. 1872. Cu aries ton: Holmes's Book Hou=e. Major Lockhart, In Fair to See, gives us a lively story, well worked-up and especially happy in the artistic touches which s imulate curiosity and give an ulr ol reulity to the char? acters. These, however, do not all stand on the same level. Mrs. Mckillop ls unnecessa? rily tiresome and coarse; but Bertrand Came? ron and his ftiend Pigot, as weil as Eila and Morna Grant, are capital conceptions, whose contrasting dispositions serve admirably to muiutaiu ihe Interest of the book. lu his de? scription ol love-scenes and his girl-talk, Major Lockhart has all the nt at simplicity of Trol? lope. And he can draw ihe fresh, pretty girl, who ls always candid, and sometimes blunt, but never oiherwlse than charming and wo? manly. The dialogue and the descriptions ol scenery are very good. We can cordially rec? ommend Fair to See, as a novel which every one may read with pleasure and satisfaction. Price 50 cents. TH>; DEBATABLE LAND: BETWEEN THIS WORLD AND TUE NEXT. Wnn Illustrative Nurr-u .v<-s. By Hoof rt Dal*-O wen. Author ol' "Fi Oifails on the Lo,n,dury ol' um Hier World." New York: G. W. u.iriHon & Co. 1872. Charleston: H? rnet,'? Book House. Mr. Owen declares that lhere are seven mil? lions of Spiritual!:ts in the United Slates, and lo the work before os be attempts to exp?ala their creed, and to exhibit the bearing of spirit? ual manifestations upon the future religious history of the world. Protestantism, he argues, bas tailed because lt adopted the repulsive *doc(rlnes of Calvinism, and the danger is that we*%ay now be driven to Atheism, or a sub? mission to the authority of Rome. Spiritual? ism, which adopts scientific conclusions and. yet demonstrates the immortality of the soul, offers the only mode of escape. According to Mr. Owen, the miracles which accompanied the birth of Christianity were manifestations of the forces which we now Include under the name of Spiritualism, ?nd we are now, as we were nineteen centuries ago, on the eve of a new religious era to tw heralded by the occur? rence of like mysterious events. In support of. his views Mr. Owec bas raked together a heap of ghost Blories of all sorts and sizes, and he carefully describes the spiritual mani? festations which converted him to the spirit? ualistic faith. All these we believe to be im? postures or delusions: but we have no cause for thinking that Mr. Owen ls a gay deceiver, and he has complied a book which may con? firm the faith of bis credulous seven million?, and will cause many a sceptic to tingle with surprise.
