-What is believed to be the most laconic
"address to the jury" on record, was delivered
by Mf. Montague Bere, Q. C., at BriBtoJ, the
other day. The recorder summed up the case
in the following words: "Gentlemen ot the
Jury, which of the parties has spoken the

, .y -An offer of a reward of $10,000 gold, has
been made by Lady Franklin for the recovery
of the whole of the Journals or other records
of the Slr John Franklin Arctic Expedition,
which are believed to have been deposited
near Point Victory, in King William's land, by
the survivors of the expedition, in 1548. Per?
haps some tidings of these lost papers may be
obtained from some of the participants in th?
present expedition to the northern latitudes.
" -A gentleman was staying at a little French
country Inn, and there was a meian ch olly-lo ok?
ing owl*-which hopped about the garden, and
had only got one leg. Two or three days ai ter
his arrival; he had same gibier (game) for din?
ner. The "game" was very small, but he enjoy?
ed lt immensely, and the next day he ml&ed the
owl from the garden.' "Where has the owl
gone tor he Inquired of the landlord. "Mon?
sieur bad a little dish of gibier yesterday," was
the answer, to the consternation of the travel?
ler. "Why, did you kill the owl for my din
nerr he next asked. "I kill owl, m'eieu!
co, h? die himzelf."
-The German Government has devised a
schema 'that promises -to be a great event in
the" history of architecture. It is intended to
build a new house of Parliament at Berlin,
and the desire is to make ita model structure.
To tbat end the architects of all nations on the
globe are Invited to compete by submitting
plans before the 15th of April next. A prize
of $5000 will be paid for the best design, and
prizes of $1000 each for the four next best.
All the plans will then be printed in an im?
mense book for the us? of architects. Sucha 1
volume cannot fail to possess great interest .
and to be of vast value to the art.
-The total -number ot emigrants who ar
imu m tun want) mw ta~~Btp*"OI urning- -
the past year, showed a large increase over
those In 1870. There were fewer Irish and ,
Scotch, however, as the ports from which ;
steamers now sall, In the North and Sooth of
Ireland, and Glasgow, Scotland, are more eas I
ly" reached by 'these class of emigrants than
Liverpool. The number of vessels from these '
places has also largely increased, and those '
seeking a passage abroad naturally avail them* i
selves of the opportunities presented to them ?
nearer home. During 1871, the total number <
of emigrants leaving Liverpool for the United 1
States was 134,885, of whom 68,609 were <
Englhh, 26,414 lilah. 2483 Scotch, and 37,479 ,
from the Continent of Europe. The total num- (
her in 1871 aa compared with 1870, shows an
lncrease-of over 3000.
-The postal card system has been in opera- '
tion for several months in Canada, and has '
proved,as popular there as in Great Britain, '
where, lt originated. Upon the face of the -
card are ruled lines for the| address and the 1
stamp. The reverse is blank, with space suf?
ficient to' write twelve or eighteen lines of <
correspondence. The cards are used for many ,
purposes; and are rapidly taking the place of j
printed circulars for mail distribution, as they .
are much cheaper, and save the trouble and 1
expense of folding, and also the cost of envel- ?
opes. They are freely used for purposes of 1
correspondence where privacy is unnecessary, ?
and letter writing in the Dominion has been <
greatly stimulated by their introduction. An I
almost indelible pencil ls used, and it has be- ,
come a custom for nearly everybody to keep ,
his pookets supplied with the cards; commu?
nications are Jotted down and thrown into the
letter boxes In the street and at railway sta- '
tlons as commonly as letters are whiten in the
office or dwelling under the old system. Mr. 1
Hill, ci New Jersey, has introduced in Con- J
gres8 a bill providing for the Issue of cards on i
a similar system here. 1
-Prince Carnival held a merry revel in ;
New York, Thursday evening, when the great 1
Liederkranz Ball monopolized the "Cata- ,
combs" and absorbed the live-long night.
The festivities did not fairly begin until ll 1
o'clock, when the academy was one sea of 1
masks, and it was with the utmost difficulty 1
that locomotion - was secured. There being 1
some delay in forming the procession, the im- <
patience was allayed by the apparition of 1
"Bill Tweed," who emerged irom behind a 1
curtain and ran a wheelbarrow around the
parquet. Aside from a slight stomachic exag- (
geratlon, the illusion was perfect, and aroused (
much merriment. At last the motley proces?
sion moved, the advance guard being six men '
bearing the stars and stripes. A rubber man, 1
enthroned, came next, after which stalked -
half a dozen foxes, a deformed stork and seve- ?
ral humaacanln.es. Fourfrogs drew a chariot t
containing a hyena, a wolf, a boar and a \
panther. An elephant with the hoad of Tweed f
trotted at the rear of the chariot. An ass, a
bull, an ox, a bear, a tiger, au ox, a giraffe
and two big roosters ended the procession.
Then came the dancing, fast and furious,
which continued until morning. The ball
was specially noticeable for the attendance of 1
fashionable society. Fifth, Madison and Lex- t
ngton avenues were well represented. The r
political element formerly so conspicuous was, t
however, comparatively scarce. r
-The publication of the Dundie Weekly la
Illinois bas been discontinued. This ls the 3
lixth time that the Weekly, under successive ?
proprietors, has come to au untimely end* '
and in its dual notice the rules are turned and *
the resources of the office in the way of I
ghastly cuts of coffins and tombstones are ex- c
hausted In the effort to render suitable mor?
tuary honors to the expiring Journal. And as t
the editor had many colunias at bis disposal
which should have beeu filled with paying
advertisements, but wlilch, owing to the pen?
uriousness of the non-ad vert 1 si D g population
of Dundee, were not so occupied, he took oc?
casion to fill the vacant space with earnest and
unequivocal expressions of his opinion in re?
gard to the place and its inhabitant?. His
description of Dundee is hardly calculated to
attract immigration to that particular part
of Kane County. He calls it a Chicago burn?
ed into a crust by the fires of misery; a San
Francisco shocked by the earthquakes
of meanness into grabbing after pennies
and ?old victuals; and declares that if Gabri?
el's born is ever heard within its precincts its
sound will be drowned out by the clamors of
its hungry people thinking it an invitation to
a free lunch. He pathetically alludes to his
own trials while endeavoring to escape star?
vation, and recites the melancholy experience
of some of bis predecessors who had been de?
luded by fair promises into the disastrous ex?
periment of publishing a newspaper uln this
foul graveyard," as a warning to printers who
may hereafter be enticed to bury their, talent
In so unpromising a field. And finally, with
sardonic glee he directs the attention of his
readers to a cut which be tells them repre?
sents the Identical train of cara in which he
Intends to leave for any place on the known
earth which will take bim out of the sight of
the dead things that walk the streets of Dun?
dee. If the editor's prudence was equal to
his disgust, he did not walt to observe the
effects of his valedictory npon the minds of his
patrons.
WE congratulate the City Council npon
their prompt action last night upon the sub?
ject of the Blue Bidge Railroad. We ex?
pected nothing less from vigilant guardians
of the interests of the city.
A Teat Quest lon. '??k
The bills upon which the State officials
rely for their extrication from tbe Financial
slough contain the provision that no addi?
tion shall, in the future, be made to the
public debt, unless two-thirds.of the quali?
fied voters of the State, at a general elec?
tion, give their consent j
Il i3 never too late for the Radical politi?
cians to mend their ways. They are
wringing millions from the taxpayers to sap
ply the deficit caused by their own ex tra va-1
gance and rascality, and their tax bills and
license bills are expected to give the Wall
street operators confidence in the monetary
integrity of South Carolina, We may not j
be able to prevent the Legislature from im-1
posing their confiscatory State tax of 17$
mills on the dollar; nor may we succeed in
compelling the Ring to replace the millions I
they have squandered or stolen. Bot some-1
thing will be gained if the Legislature rest
content with the spoils they'have already
won. A debt of fifteen millions is easier to
carry than a debt of twenty millions or
thirty. We, therefore, should bo glad to I
see the General Assembly adopt, in good
faith, any measure which would prevent I
them from making onrcondition more em-1
barraging than it now is. The question for
the people and for the speculators to cen si der
is, Whether the Legislature, in their proposed
prohibition of any addition to the public
debt, are acting honestly, or are only con
triving a plan which shall give them, next I
year and the next, larger opportunities in I
the way of wholesale stealing.
An Act of Assembly declaring that the I
amie ucm, aram nos oe Increased without J
the consent of the people, given at a gene
ral election, is not of tbe slightest protective I
raine. It binds the faith and honor of the
present Legislature and of i. "accessors.
But the very Legislature which framed and j
passed the law could repeal it on the j i
sorrow, if it so desired. And the Legisla- I :
;ure to be elected next October could do tbe ! :
jame thing, if it chose. The faith and credit I
)f the State are bound for the payment of I
lix per cent, interest npon the bonds of tbe
State. Yet the interest remains unpaid, j
ind the holders of the bonds have no re-1
Iress. And the credulous Investors who :
bought State bonds, upon the faith of the ;
agreement that no additional debt should be
created, would be equally wit li o ut a remedy.
The State can not be sned, and the General
assembly cannot restrict the action of its 1
mccesBors.
It is idle to suppose that the Attorney
Seneral of the State, and the shrewd law?
yers who are in consultation with the mern
bera of the Ring, have overlooked the flaw
in their fair-seeming legislation. They must
?now that the proposal to prohibit, by Act
)f Assembly, any increase of the public debt,
s no protection whatever to either tax? ayer
Dr bondholder. And yet we give them the
benefit of a doubt, and point out a line of
conduct which will prove their good faith
and sincerity of purpose. If the General
Assembly will, at the preseht session, adopt I
a constitutional amendment providing that
no new debt shall be created except by Act
of Assembly, ratified by a two-thirds popu?
lar vote at the general election succeeding
Its passage, the amendment can be voted I
upon and adopted in October, and, when
ratified by the Legislature in December, will
become a binding part of the organic law ef
:he State. With this provision engrafted
apon the Constitution, any improper addi?
son to the public debt becomes impossible,
any body or person attempting to create a
new debt oi issue new bonds, without the
lonsent of the people, specifically given,
could instantly be restrained from so doing
by the courts of the State.
We need not enlarge upon this subject. If
Lhe State officials are in earnest in desiring
.o prevent any increase of debt, they wil11
idopt a joint resolution for the amendment
)f the Constitution as we have suggested,
[f they only mean to fool the people and the
(Vail street brokers, they will content them
lelveB with adopting the statutory provision
ffbich we have shown to be wholly useless I
ind inoperative. !
Why Does Not Charleston Prosper ?
Such was the question propounded some
lights ago, on the Colombia night express
rain of the South Carolina Railroad, by a
irominent citizen of Columbia to a Charles
oniarfc "She does prosper," was the prompt
eply; the assertion beiDg very ingeniously I
upported by a comparison of the condition
if Charleston immediately after the war with
?er condition now, illustrated by references
o the railroad and steamship lines, phos
>hate companies, jobbing trade and other
lepartments of business.
"All that is very well," replied the Colum?
nar, "yet any stranger passing through Sa
vannah, Macon, Atlanta, Augusta, and even
Colombia, would note the contrast and say
that Charleston does not prosper. It is not
denied that you have made important steps
towards recovering your ante bellum status,
but the other Southern towns have done
mnch more than that, they do more business
now than they did before the war. And the
reason of it is this : They do not hide their
light under a bushel. They send their drum?
mers wherever it is possible for their trade to
reach ; they patronize everj*. little country
newspaper, within the same scope; they fill
their own city papers with announcements
of their business, and they make it to the in?
terest of their railroad companies to bring
freight to them and carry freight from them
on advantageous terms. Why, sir, I have
been on more than one occasion in large
jobbing houses in Charleston and seen a
country editor come in and ask foran adver?
tisement Sometimes they refused and some?
times they gave it as a favor, but the invari-1
able accompanying remark was ?Everybody
knows Us & Co. ; there is no use for us to
advertise' The truth probably was that I
nine-tenths of the country firms bad never i
heard or 'Us & Co.,' and one-half the re- j
maining tenth only know the name as a tra?
dition of their fathers. And how in the
world are men who do not already trade with
Charleston to know what facilities the city
has for business? To judge by the Charles?
ton papers the business is confined to auc?
tioneers and retail dealers; to judge by an
Augusta paper that I picked up the other
day the jobbing trade of Charleston is con?
fined to one hardware bouse, and to judge
by the country papers Charleston hardly bas
any business at all except making and sell?
ing commercial manures. There is one great
railroad and steamship advertisement/ that I
see very often, in which the name of Charles?
ton figures very extensively, but it ls only as
a place through which freight goes to and
from New Tork, Philadelphia and Baltimore
So far as the press is concerned, sir, Charles?
ton as a depot of trade is unrepresented.
And as to the other means of extending
trade, drummers, circnlars, ?c., they are
confined to the old beaten track. There are
some men in Charleston, sir, who understand
pushing business, and they are making
money;- but so long as the business men as a
class are satisfied to do their present limited
business, without effort for more, your city
will never prosper."
Thc Dcatli ot Major F. J. Porcher.
Charleston has not known a more loyal and
courteous gentleman, than him whose swift
coming death is mourned to-day throughout | :
the length and breadth ot the city. Honor was
his heritage; no doubting breath had tarnished
bis good name. Bis seemed to be a truly
happy life; rich In love and respect, and richer
still in the peace ot mind far more precious <
than the mercantile prosperity so worthily l
worn and won. Chivalrous, generous and 1
hopeful
A man he seemed of cheerful yesterdays v ,
And confident to-morrows t
Sincerely and tenderly ls bis death deplored; 1i
for to few men ls lt given to command, as he
did, the earnest affection of those who knew I
him well, and the sincere regard and unhes-11
Hating confidence o? a whole community.
Major Francis James Porcher died yesterday
morning at half-past two o'clock, at his resi?
dence on South Battery, of Inflammation of
the stomach, after a short and painful illness t
of three days. ., .. 1
" Major Porcher was born on the 3d of May,
1831, at Coosawbatchle, where his father was J
then practicing medicine. When quite a child
he came to Charleston, where he was reared r
and educated. At an early age he went Into
business as a clerk upon the wharves, and
about the year 1850 became a member of the t
Qrm of Witherspoon A Porcher, cotton and .
rice brokers. In 1858, when his partner died, r
he took entire charge of the business, which c
he conducted until the breaking out of the t
war. He was a member of the convention
which passed the ordinance of secession, *
and during the war served successively as s
captain and major upon the staffs of Gene- *
rals DeSaussure and Walker. Having at
length become disabled for active service I '
by accidentally breaking his wrist, he return- I
to Charleston and was put in charge of the
harbor obstructions. He waa most active in ?
removing the garrison from Morris Island on J
the night of the evacuation, and was nearly cap?
tured with the boat he commanded, In 1861 he
became a member of the Legislature, and he
was also elected to the first Legislature after
the close of the war. He formed a copartner
ship with Mr. Henry, under the name of
Porcher & Henry, at the head of which firm
he remained until bis death.
In the municipal organizations Mr. Porcher
was well known as the president for many
years of the Phonix Fire Company, and his
genial temper and generous promptness will
long be held in remembrance by that splri'ed s
corps. He was one ol the original founders t
of the South Carolina Institute, and continued t
to be a director of the society until within the r
past eighteen months. He took a lively Inter- F
est in industrial enterprises, and was presl- 1
dent of the Atlantis Phosphate Company. He
was an active member of the Chamber of Com -
merce, and at the last anniversary was elected
second vice-president.
Mr. Porcher was a man of sterling integrity,
and his kindness and benevolence were known
and appreciated by all who came in contact
with him. The sadness which spread over the
city when his death was announced, was only
a poor evidence ol the high esteem in which
he was held.
The funeral will take place at half past four
o'clock thlB bfternoon, at the Unitarian Church
in Archdale street.
MR. COMMISSIONER MCLAUGHLIN informs
us by telegraph that he will, in a few days,
give the public a full statement of the coun?
ty finances and other matters discussed by
the Grand Jury in their presentment We
shall be glad to receive any explanation that
the county officials may desire to make.

^r-FOUR MILLIONS OF INVALIDS.
At tbe lowest computation there are never lese
than four millions of Invalida ls the United
States. Of this number probably more than
three-fifths have neglected the ordinary precau?
tions necessary for the preservation of health,
and are Battering the punishment due to their
carelessness. If the multitudes who are now
afflicted wita biliousness, indigestion, rheuma?
tism, intermittent fever, irreguiarties of the
bowels, general debility, nervous disorders, Ac,
bad, at the very first symptoms of Indisposition,
invigorated, regulated and purified their systems
With HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, two
thirds of them wonld at thia moment be perform?
ing the active duties of life, unannoyed by any
aliment or the body or the mind.
This assertion la made advisedly. It ls founded
on exp?rience, and Ia borne out by the testimony
of a countless host of wltnessess, whose attesta?
tions cover almost every variety of disease, and
extend over a period of about twenty years. Of
every thousand persona who take the Bitters, aa
a preventive of the complaints above enumera?
ted, seven-eighths escaped them entirely; and
of every thousand who are actually attacked, and
use the great Vegetable Tonic as a remedy, three
feurths are radically cored. These are not hap?
hazard assertions, bat statistical facts. They
are based upon the results of inquiries made by
more than fifty thousand persona in various
parts of the country, and upon* the letters of
prominent citizens of every b tate, lt might al?
most be said, of every county in the Union.
