NEWS OE THE DAT. -Gold'at New York closed, yesterday, at j lOialOic. -The New York cotton market closed steady; uplands, 22}c; Bales 1450 bales. -At Liverpool there was no business. -Eight thousand dollars' worth of gambling apparatus seized by the police was publicly j burned in Richmond, Ya., Saturday. -The observance of Sunday is so strict in England that all the telegraph offices are closed, meteorological reports and predictions are not forwarded on that day, and, as a con? sequence, two of the most serious storms of | last year were not signalled to the coast. -The New York Mall, while rejoiolng at Mr. Gilmore's success, says: "We ought to rejoice at this prospect, bot we shudder to think what Gilmore may be undertaking next. Nothing less than an elemental concert, in which he shall use Niagnra Falls for double bass, and conjure up thunder storms and earthquakes to take part,will satisfy his ambition after this . Jubilee." -Dr, H. Schlleman, wjho has been knocking in the head the old story of the Trojan war, by investigations carried on ur JQ the assumed spot, made immortal by Homer and Virgil, writes to the Allgemeine Zeitung that his ex? cavations are stopped by the arrival of winter, bot that next spring he will certainly be in a position to demonstrate the exact position of j Troy, thirty-five feet below (he present level. -Russian newspapers are boasting ot the defences of Moulin, (the "new Sebastopol,") which ls already assuming formidable propor? tions. They speak of lt as their greatest for? tress, and as the jreal masterpiece of the skill of their great military engineer, General Todleben. So zealously are the approaches to this stronghold guarded, that no outsider ls allowed to approach the works on any pre text whatever. -It now seems probable that, in one pw-1 tlcular at leastr-that of railroad travelling English obstinacy and prejudice will yield to American progress. The London Globe s.iys j that there is some probability that the Ameri? can railroad car system will be adopted in England, and that under the new system Eng? lish cars will be fitted up with sleeping apart? ments and perhaps dining saloons. -The Provinzial Correspondez, a German pBPBT; RICES-vir.ro-- nm-nononoB . t?e France, In speaking of the reception of the French ambassador by the Emperor William, and ot the German ambassador by M. Thiers ; .'The restoration of the former diplomatic In? tercourse between Germany and France may be regarded as a new proof that the two gov? ernments cherish, not merely the wish, but also the hopes of dally strengthening the rela? tions between the two great neighboring States.'-' -The King of Siam seems to have profited by the visit ol Secretary Seward.-He ls adopt? ing civilized customs to the extent of coats, collars, neckties, shoes and stockings, and ls anxious that his people may become educated. Several of the youth of the higher classes are In Singapore, in school, and some have been sent to Europe. He bas his hair cut after Eu? ropean fashion, and, it ls said, will not allow his aitendinis to use betel. He Is intending to visit Calcutta soon, and great preparations are making lor this Journey. -Intelligence concerning the movements of | the International Society show that a vast and general activity prevails among the members in France. Sections are forming In all parts ofthat country, and agents of the society are everywhere in the provinces recruiting adher? ents. From the efforts made to obtain, not only in France, but in all countries, exact statements of tho strength in men and money of the society-together with the fact that IIB adherents aro classified by categories of age and capacity-the belief has. been eagendered In Europe that the International is preparing either for warfare or a formidable strike. -There exists in Belgium a society called the "Llbre-Peusee," whose avowed object ls tu uproot religion lrom modern society. It has just published its annual report, and from that document we learn that the members consider their cause to be making satisfactory progress. They say thai the number of civil funerals - that le, funerals without religious rites-was last year double that of the year previous; and of the persons ''civilly" interred one half were women. Civil marriages, too, they say, are becoming the rule. The free thinkers declare that no compromise is any longer possible be? tween the old ideas and the new; men must be lor the church or against it -Krupp, the famous German engineer, bas recently constructed a twelve-inch gun, with a barrel weighing 88,690 pounds, and throw? ing 666 pound shot with a charge of 114 pounds of prismatic powder. At Berlin, other heavy guns are in making by order ot the German Government. Thus for use on iron? clads there are being manufactured twenty one toa guns, throwing 411 pouad shot with a charge of 70 pouuds of powder, the diame? ter of the barrel being 10,238 inches. For coast defence there are being manufactured twenty-seven ton guns, throwing 513 pound shot w li h a charge of 88 pounds of powder, the diam - ter of the barrel being 11.025 Inches. -The ill starred Mrs. Wharton is not allowed to rest In peace during the Interim between her two trials, but even at this early day the partisans of the Van Ness family, at Wash- j ' ington and elsewhere, are beginning to pub? lish their proposed line of prosecution. Ac- j cording to a washington correspondent, the testimony upon the Van Ness case ls to be more startling and definite than lu the Ketch um tragedy. Vau Ne?-s say* that he had never been asked, in all his acquaintance with Mrs. Wharton, to drink anything uutll the particu? lar lime when she asked him to have some dat et. He drauk but little, and then stat t d to go home, ouly a short distance away, but was seized with blindness on the way. Grop? ing along like a drunken man, he was able to reacn his doorstep and pull the bell. As the door opened he fell forward In his hal), and kne* no more for several dajB. When Van Ness recovered h<3 went again to Mrs. Wharton's, and she Invited him to par take of another beverage. He felt the same pain coming on him as before, and Immedi? ately started for the front door, bat before he could put his hand on the knob be reeled and fell Into the hall and was dragged Into the parlor, where he remained for a week, suffer? ing nausea and the agonies of internal fire during the whole period of Ketchum's si sk-1 ness, who meantime died above stairs. Dur? ing this sickness lt ls alleged that Mrs. Whar? ton frequently prepared his medicine, and every time he drank of her preparations his agonies returned; while, fed by his own family, he recovered st lost. The correspondent also says that social circles are exercised over the fact that Mrs. Wharton had assumed a degree of wealth which she never possessed; and her former companions, to whom she said she had an income of twenty thousand dollars a year, are loud 4n denunciation of her. In particular, General Brice, Eetchum's brother in-law, now retired f. om the service, relates the story with great severity maDy times a day. _ Tbe Conspiracy A gain?t Charleston. Although a few short-sighted Charles tonians declare that the purchases of South Carolina Railroad stock, by Mr. Moses Tay? lor, of New York, and Mr. Wm. B. Johnston, of Macon, are innocent speculative transac? tions which have no more to do with the Cen? tral Railroad of Georgia than with the Suez Canal, the mass of th9 people are satisfied that a Ring has been formed whose object is to obtain control of the South Carolina Rall I road and work it exclusively in the interest of the Central Railroad and of Savannah. The Ring have moved quietly and sagacious? ly, bnt enongh bas leaked out or has bean boldly acknowledged to convince all citizens of Charleston, save the constitutional L o No things, that a conspiracy is formed against the commercial life of the city, which will in? evitably succeed unless the people act with more energy and foresight than they usually display in matters of grave public concern. The New Yorkers think it would be a good thing for the Sooth Carolina Railroad to paes into the hands of the Central Railroad, and the Daily Bulletin supports the hypothesis by a tissue of misrepresentation and down? right untruth. Savannah and Macon know, whether they admit it or not, that the effort is making to choke off Savannah's powerful rival. But from all parts of South Carolina come protests against any combination j which proposes to place the management of our main thoroughfare in the hands of our commercial antagonist, and The South, a weekly paper printed in New York and Inde-1 pendent of the Wall street Rings, sends us I earnest words of warning. This paper Bays : "The South is fully alive to the Importance of Increased transportation facilities, and in every one ol the Southern States ihe deepest interest is manifested, either in the construe-1 tlon of new roads or the Improvement of old I ones. There are not leas tb?n five thousand miles of newly projected railroads In these I States, on moat of which work is progressing I rapidly. The attentive reader of our paper from week to week can but be struck with the intense activity shown in this direction by the Southern people. "Il is not alone in the construction of these new routes of travel that these Important j changes are taking place. In the awakened Interest of prominent commercial centres to the absolute necessity of better and cheaper transportation facilites, we nod Ihe^fittUUtttl sources of schemes for (roi of some ot the old and well-established j lines. The - grasping ambition of the great railroad king, Thomas Scott, of Philadelphia, I has led him to place his strong hand upon the j leading artery ol' travel towards the Pacifie, to j which his recent election to the Presideccy ol the Southern Pacific Railroad, in place of Mar? shall 0. Roberts, resigned, ls a fitting climax. We look with distrust noon these ?rlgintic mo- I nopolists, while we cannot help admiring the audacious boldness of the mind that can con-1 eel ve and execute sieh vast eut ?prises. "The name of Wadley Is but little less known in the South than that of Scott, for his constant aim lor years has been to contre 1 a line of roads westward from Savannah towards the j Pacific, making his objective point for the present at Vicksburg. "The most recent attempt to secure another j one of the old lines ls that of the Central Rail- j road ot Georgia to lease the South Carolina Railroad from Charleston to Augusta. The bare suggestion, we are glad to notice, has aroused the energies of the Charlestonlans, and the matter ls not likely to go further at present. It would be the most suicidal policy on the part of Charleston to permit any such scheme to be consummated. The elly itself had better buy a controlling Interest in the road, rather than permit the control of it to pass away from her own people. "The general interest exhibited all over the South in behalf of railroads Is certaloly one of I the mostgrattlylng signs of returning prosper! ty to that section. With Increased transporta Hon facilities all the other elements of material prosperity and growth will quickly follow, I and the waste places will be rebuilt, and the desert be made to blossom as the rose." -There are two points in the foregoing ar- j tide which we desire to particularly notice. The first is, that the matter of the lease "is "not likely togo further at present," and the second is, that "the city itself had better "buy a controlling interest in the road rather I "than permit the control of it to pass away "Irom her own people." I Our contemporary correctly says that the J matter of the lease will not go farther at present, but its words should not lull the people into a false security. The Central Ring had some hope of carrying their poiot by a coup de main at the late annual meet-1 ing of the stockholders of the South Caro lina Railroad, but when their object was discovered, although at the 'eleventh hour, they contented themselves with a reco? noissance in small force, and retired as soon I as they bad felt the strength of their adver sanes. .They saw that they were in the minority, and we doubt that the Ring voted any of their stock But they did not abandon the contest. They withdrew from the market in the expectation that the failure of the eSoi t to lease the road would cause the shares to decline-their plan being to buy J the shares at the lower figures. This plan they are steadily carrying out. They will I go into the market whenever, in their judg? ment, the shares are near the bottom. We I assert therefore, that the lease of the road j ts ouly postponed, and will (if we lie idle) be j carried into effect as soon as the Ring ac quire a voting majority of the stock of the j ruad. I i The second point made by The South is I ? that it is to the interest of the City of J ? Charleston itself to buy a controlling amount I of the stock of the South Carolina Rauroud. ' Upon this subject we can only, at this mo ment, advance these propositions: The j, loss of the ?south Carolina Railroad, or its i THE UHAKLJS?ivri passage into the charge of a Bing who will work against the city, is equivalent to the commercial rain of Charleston, and to the rapid decline in value and ultimate ex? tinction of its most valuable property; the danger is one which threatens the whole community, and is not confined to any class of citizens; the subject, therefore, is one which can properly, and with perfect fair? ness, be dealt with tv the city as a corpora? tion representing the entire people. The difficulties in the way of individual actioo, and the superior force and certainty of cor? porate action, we shall endeavor to explain never forgetting, however, that the debt of the city is oppressively large, and that it ls of the first consequence to guard against any avoidable increase of debt and of tax? ation. A matter so momentous as the life or death of Charleston demands of us ample discussion, so that if the people choose to walk to destruction they may do it with their eyes open, and a full knowledge of what the future has in store. Just So T It ?3 not surprising that the State Senate should reject the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment, providing for Cumulative voting. A body which passed the Blue Ridge bill by a nearly unanimous vote could not be expected to look favorably upon a measure which has no other recom? mendation than its propriety and intrinsic justice. New Book?. THE LEADERS OF PUBLIC OPINION IN IRELAND. SWIFT, FLOOD, GRATTAN, O'CONNEL. By Wil? liam Edward Haripole Lecky, L. A. New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1872. Charles? ton: Holmeb'd Book House. , The four essays contained in this volume were published anonymously many years ago. They are solid and valuable contributions to the literature of one of the most perplexing questions of the day, and their interest is en? hanced by an introduction in which Mr. Lecky gives bis latest opinions upon the question of Irish discontent Mr. Lecky's vlewB are very suggestive, and deserve the attention of Irish? men everywhere. In the essays on the career and character of Swift, Flood, Grattan and O'connel, Mr. Lecky tells the story bl the growth and degeneration I of public opinion in Ireland-the public opin? ion which Swift created and Flood fostered, which, In the hands of Grattan, accomplished Irlsb. Independence, and under O'Connell saw its gr?atest triumph and rapid decline, lt is hard to realize the infamous condition of things with which these men had to deal. For a century the Irish Catholics (four-fliths of the population) were subject to "a penal code" which left them no civil or personal freedom. The first measure of relief was passed In 1768, but Catholics were not upon a fooling of com? plete equality with Protestants till 1792. Their disabilities from 1691 to 1792 are summarized by Mr. Lecky as follows: By this code the Roman Catholics were abso? lutely excluded from the Parliament, from the magistracy, from the corporations, irom the bench, and from the bar. They could Bot vote at parliamentary elections or at vestries. They could not act as constables or sheriffs or jury? men, or-eerve in the army or navy, or become solicitor.'1, or even hold ihe positions of game? keeper or watchman. Schools were establish? ed to bring up their children as Protestants; and If i hey reuised to avail themselves of there, they were deliberately consigned to hopeless Iguorance, bel?g excluded from the university, and debarred, nuder crushing pen? alties, irom uctlng as schoolmasters, as ushers, were refused at home. They could not marry Frotes;ant.-; and if such a marriage were cele? brated, it wits annulled by luw, and the priest who officiated might be hung. They could not buy laud, or inherit or receive lt as a gift Hom Protestants, or hold life annuities, or leases for more than thirty-one years, or any l?ate on such terms that the prouts ol the land exceed? ed one-third ol'the rent. If any Catholic lease? holder b) his industry so Increased hispruiits that they exceeded thia proportion, and did not immediately ruuke a corresp audiug In? crease lu his payments, any Protestant who gave tile information could ent-r Into posses? sion ol lils farm If any Catholic hud secretly purchased either his olu forieited estate or any other laud, any Protestant who informed against him might become the proprietor. Tue lew Catholic landholders who remained were deprived of the right, whtch all other classes possessed, of bequeathing their lauds us they pleased, It their sous continued Cath? olics, it was divided equally between them. If, however, the oldest, son consented to aposta? tize, the estate was settled upon him, the father from that hour became only a life-ten? ant and lost all power of selling, mortgaging, or otherwise disposing of lt if the wife ot a Catholic abandoned the rellgiou of her hus? band, she was Immediately free from his con? trol, and the chancellor was empowered to as? sign to her a certain portion of ber husband's property. If any child, however young, pro? tested itself a Protestant, it was at once taken from the father's care, and the chancellor could oblige the father lo declare upon oath the value of his property, both real and personal; and could assign for the present maintenance and future porllou of the converted child such proportion of that property as the court might decree. No Catholic could be guardian either to his owu children or to those of another person; and therefore a Catholic who died while his children were mino? had the bitterness ol' reflecting upon his deuth-bed that they must pass into the care of Protes? tants. An annuity of from twenty to forty pounds was provided as a bribe for every piieatwho would become a Protestant To convert a Protestant to Catholicism was a capital offence. In every walk ol life the Catholic was pursued by persecution or re si rici ion. Except in the linen trade, he could not have more lhaa two apprentices. He could not possess a horse of ihe va?ue of more thun Ave pounds, and any Protestan!, on giving bim Ave pounds, could take his horse. He was compelled to pay double to the militia. He was loroidden, except under pan Icu.ar conditions, to live in Galway or Limerick. lu case of war with a Catholic power, the Catholics were obliged to reim? burse the damage done by the enemy'B priva? teers. The Legislature, lt is true, did not venture absolutely to suppress their worship, bul it existed only by a doubtful connivance, stigmatized as If it were a species of licensed prostitution, and subject to conditions which, if they had been enforced, would have render? ed Its continuance Impossible. An old law which prohibited it. and another which enjoin? ed attendance ut the Anulican worship, re? mained unrepeated, and might at auy time be revived; and the former was, in fact, enforced during the Scotch rebellion of 1715. The paiisli priests, who alone were allowed to offlclaie, were compelled to be registered, and were forbidden to keep curates, or lo offlclaie anywhere except in their own parishes. The chapels might not have bells or steeples. No crosses might be publicly erected. Pilgrim? ages lo the holy Wella were forbidden. Not only all monks and Irl a rs, but also all Catholic archbishops, bishops, deacons and other dig? nitaries, were ordered by a certain day to leave ibo country; and if stier that date they were found lu Irviaud, they were liable lo be first imprisoned und then banished; and li ufter that banishment they rei urned to dis cna'ge their duty lu their dioces s, they were 1 able lo Hie punishment ol' death. To facili? tate the discovery ol offences against the code, t*o justices of ihe peace might at any time compel any Catholic ol eighteen years of uge to u ec.are when and where he lust heard mass, whai persons were present, and who ofllci atfd; and ll he refused to give evidence, they mignt imprison him for twelve mouth-, or until he paid a fine of twenty pounds. Any DUO who harbored ecclesiastics from beyond ( ihe; seas wus Mibject to fines, v/hlch, for the ti:?rd offence, amounted to the confi-cai lon of all ni* g u d?. A graduated sia'o of rewanis I was offered for the di-covery of Cmhoiic bishops, priests und schoolmasters; ann a reso- < I ut iou ol ili?> House ol Common pronounced ' the prosecuting and Informing ugaiust Papists an hoiioiabe service lo Hie government. And ihe Irish Protestants, also, were the abjects of Jealousy and persecution. All the prominent political officers were always Eng- ( nrj YT ?a ; njciiiniiot/an mu, 1 lahmen; BO were, witt few exceptions, the bishops and judges. Of the 300 members of | Parliament, 200 were returned by 100 indi vlduals and 50 by ten. Oae peer returned 16 members. The pension Hst was enormous, and was Increased at the pleasure of the Crown. Deliberate attempts were made to destroy all Irish Industry. Stringent laws extinguished the trade in cattle and in wool' and the export o? glass was prohibited. It was in the midst of the prostration caused by these laws that Swift first roused the senti? ment of nationality. For fifty years the strug? gle was continued. A handful of men wrest? ed from Great Britain the abolition of all legislative restrictions upon trade, the Inde? pendence of the Irish Parliament, the release of the Irish courts from the control of those of | England, the Irremovability of Irish Judges. Theee events and the display of political talent on the part of the Irish alarmed England, and led to the Act of Union. We need not trace any further the saddening tale. Mr. Lecky portrays the characters of the Irish leaders with graphic clearness, and his essays will at least do good in crystallizing public sentiment, and In reminding Irishmen that what they have once done they may, in like manner, do again.
