'The paper I propose to j quote from,' Bald Conkling, looking savagely at bia adversary, 'ls published in Chicago, and IB called the Staats Zeitung. Am fright?' 'Yes, sir,'Instantly replied Schurz, -and it ls edited by the collector o? Internal revenue.' There was a burst of laughter at this, on the floor as well as up stairs, and though Mr. Conkling was not disconcerted, (for he ia so vain that nothing puts bim out,) the quotation was utterly ruined for his purposes, and tell | upon deaf ears." -The Atlantic steamships, during this winter, have suffered severely from the tem? pestuous weather. Two steamships have been withdrawn for repairs, several haye been obliged to put Into Halifax for coal, and the schedules of sailing days of all the Unes have been disarranged. The steamship Helvetia, which arrived at . New York, on February 21, experienced a continuous hurricane from Jan? uary 31 'to February 9, a period of ten days, during which two seamen were swept over? board, and the heavy waves broke a hole eight feet long and two feet wide In the smoke-stack, wrecked the bridge between the wheel-houses and tore away the liieboats. The new steamer Republic, which arrived at New York on February 14 from Liverpool, re? ported terrible weather on the passage, the furious seas boarding the ship, twisting and displacing heavy iron castings, and battering j and destroying everything. -A curious piece of litigation 'growing I out of " an action for breach of promise of | marriage, bas Just been decided in England. The lady who originally brought the action gained a verdict. But the faithless swain add? ed tt the original enormity of his tergiversa- j lion by taking refuge in a technical quibble. The marriage promised was only to take place on the death of his father, and he appealed to the Exchequer Chamber In arrest of Judgment, on the ground that though he bad announced his intention of not fulfilling the engagement yet that no breach of contract would take* place till the contingency under which the i promise had been given arose. The Exchequer Chamber decided in his favor, but on an ap? peal lo a court of error this Judgment was re- ? versed, and the original verdict for the plain? tiff established. Noiice or an Intended breach of a contract to be performed lu the future ls i equivalent to a breach or it; and the lord ch iel Jusiice held that the fact or the future perform? ance depending on a coutingency did not alter the state ot the ca.-e. -The recent terrible, scene in an English menagerie came near bel?g duplicated at Philadelphia, Wednesday, where the menage? rie of Forepaugh is in winier quartets. Among his collection is a magnlflceul rojal \ Bengal tiger and several other tigers of an Interior grade. The tamer, Mr. Darlous, pro? ceeded Into their cage as usual, and immedi? ately perceived -that somethng waa wrong. Tho eyes of "the ferocious beasts had an un? usual glare and their capacious throats emitted ominous growls. Deeming the better part ol valor to be discretion, Mr. Darioua was taking measures to retire, when the royal beast leaped upon and bore him to the floor. As Darlous went down, he uttered a single cry for help, and then remained perfectly still. The employees came "on the run," but stood dumb with terror, while, the ether animals, comprehending the situation, set up a variety of fearlul howls. At this Juncture, and while the Infuriated tiger was apparently considering how and in what precise manner to maka mince-meat of its prey, Mr. Forepaugh enter? ed, thrust his arm through the bars of the cage, j grasped aud twisted one of the tiger's hind legs, and diverted its. attention, thus affording Mr. Darlous an opportunity for escape,.which be lost no time in improving. The Defeat of the Police Bill. We have another instance of the queerly inconsequential conduct of the Hous3 of Representatives. They had the Police'bill before them, and after a great to-do laid it on the table. There it remained until last Monday, when it was taken up and placed on the calendar. This sadden change of front led the public to "believe that the bill [ would pass; and lo I it was defeated yester? day by a vote of 76 to 16.' Who would have thought it? Jesting apart, the House of j Representatives have acted wisely and well. The rejection of the Police bill will be hailed with satisfaction by rivery man who has at heart the tranquillity and well-being of Charleston. ' _ _ . Charleston's Peril. .. We do not think it necessary to set forth at length the reasons which justify the con. elusion that the loss of the South Carolina Kail road, or its passage into the keeping of the Central Bing, must lead to the commer? cial ruin of Charleston. The whole of this branch of. the subject has already been ; thoroughly discussed in these columns. It is sufficient now to say that at least nine tenths of the trade and commerce of the city depend upon ai continuance bf the facili? ties for collecting and distributing freight, and forwarding passengers, secured to J Charleston by the Sooth Carolina Railroad ? and the connecting steamship lines, which lines could not exist for a month if deprived of the support given them by the road. Stripped of her vast business in cotton, spain, naval ; stores and lamber; with the shipment of phosphates and all manufac? tured goods curtailed by high rates of j freight ; with the efforts of the jobbers and nercbants to compete with the North made utile by a like canse; with the balk of the aanking capital driven to more profitable Uelde, and the remainder offered at prohib? itory prices; with thousands or persons de? prived of employment and depending on the city for temporary or, permanent relief; with all occupation for. mechanics and laborers j taken away, by ?reason of the stoppage of j improvements and the closing and removal | )f mills and factories; with real estate rati? ng in price, making it needful to advance he percentage of taxation in the proportion n which property is less able to bear it- J vith these evils pressing upon the people, Charleston, in a few years, would be dead )eyond all hope of resurrection. The com- j )iniug influe ices of negro rule, and of tLe | OBS of all .business but that which the linger og inhabitants could extract from their sommon wants, would destroy Charleston nore effectually than fire and pestilence | lould ever do. We have no desire tomlarm the people, or o add one other cause of distrust to the nany vexations which embarrass them. It 3 our duty to tell the plain truth, as we un? terstand it, and it shall be our aim to sug? gest what appear toms to be sore and effect lal ways of averting every danger and of | etaining the advantages which, os they itrengthen and increase, will make Charles on the foremost city of the South. Killing ths Goose : The one great aim of the General Assem iiy ia to raise money by taxation. Upon no ither subject can their action be foreseen nth any degree of certainty. They abase o-day the measure which they affectionate-I t embrace to-morrow.. What wonld induce j i body of intelligent and disinterested rep? esen tat i ves of the public to take one coarse, ?variably leads oar saintly Solons to move a the opposite direction. But npon the question of taxation they ore as true as the ?eedle to the pole. It is rather surprising, therefore, that they lo not pause io consider what effect their lasty legislation is likely to produce upon .he public revenue. A tax of twenty mills will not realize twice as much as a tax of ten mills, because persons who could pay the lower tax cannot pay the higher one Por the benefit of .the law-makers we lay Jown this axiom: In co m pu ti og the reve? nue from taxation, two and two do not make four I The Legislature might, for instance, impose a tax of forty mills, but lt is safe to say that the proceeds would not be three times the net result of a tax of ten mills. We would, besides, remind the Legisla? ture that Charleston, as a tax-paying com- j munity, deserve" T.cro consideration than is j given her. Public spirit and enlarged views, the members of the Legis'ature have not. They may, perhaps, be made to understand that whatever retards the growth of Charles? ton impair? confidence and unsettles the community, lowers, in the same degree, the ability of Charleston to pay taxes. The as? sessed value of the real and personal proper? ty in Charleston County is about forty mil? lions, one-fourth of the taxable properly of J the wliole Stale. About three-fifurths of the property of the county lies in the City of Charleston. Now it should be the aim of the Legislature to fondle and caress Charles? ton, to make her hale and hearty, to en? courage the efforts of her people to grow rich ; because, the wealthier Charleston is, the more taxes site is able to pay I This is a plain proposition. Just os a prudent house-wife fattens her festival turkey in order to enjoy it the more when the time comes for its digestion, so the Legislature should fatten up Charleston, with the view of squeezing from her every year a satisfac? tory amount of taxes. Yet the Legislature deliberately do what, a3 tux-collectors, they ought not to do, and leave undone wtiut they should do. Tney nike up the abominable Metropolitan Police i ii Hi OHA?iiiioxv bill which mases every citizen of Charleston tremble in his shoes, and simultaneously they reject the bill for the rebuilding of Charleston. The former bill would impair the feeling of security, without which solid- im? provement ia impossible. Th? las? named bill, by foregoing a pittance of taxes for a few years, would have given the State- a larger basis of taxation, besides affording employment to hundreds 'Ol tbe workingmen whose interests the Legislature habitually j ignore. The license bill is another ex? ample of the folly bf our tax-levying legis? lators. To ewell their revenue for one year they are willing to diminish their income for decades to come. The General Assembly have no more re? gard,-it seems, for their own interests than they have for the interests of the people. Their conduct is as silly as that of the prod? igal who exhausts in a day's dissipation what would have kept bim decently exhila I rated for at least a year. ' ( ' ' THE last issue of the Beaufort Republican contains a list of lands in Beaufort and Col leton Counties upon which the taxes of 1871 have: not' been paid. This list covers nearly I fourteen columns. Comptroller Neagle, Gov? ernor Scott and tbe Columbia Union will argue that this is a proof of low taxation, and a reason wby the tax should be doubled. Go on! gentlemen. WE print to-day an official copy of the important act "to regulate pilotage at the ports of Charleston, Beaufort and George? town," which is now a law. 7 he Spolia of the Victor. Germany is already beginning to feel me effect of tbe stream of money which bas poured across the . border eince the close of the war with France. The Grand Duchy of Baden has been balancing Its accounts, and finds that its war expenses have been nearly cleared off. Like the rest of Germany lt baa received only two-fifths of the Indemnity due, and with its share of tbe balance lt purposes to extinguish its national debt. Baden was probably at no greater proportion of expense than the rest of j Germany; and lt may therefore be inferred that the cost of the entire campaign In France has already been refunded, or nearly BO. AB yet, however, only $400,000,000 has been paid, and the $600,000,000 to come may be set down as nearly clear profit. The pay ol officers in the army has been raised with a liberal hand, and there are other evidences of the plethoric condition of the finances of the Empire. Alto? gether, the war, Belting aside the loss of lite, is likely to prove a splendid speculation for Prussia. France not only pays all costs, but j adds a huge bonus, sufficient to warrantait the officers of the army a handsome Income and distend" the treasury to its utmost limits. It ls very pleasant for Germany,1 but less com? fortable for the unwilling contributors to this affluence._ Xhe Spirit or the Vanquished. Whatever may be thought of the frivolities of the Frene1" there ls something inspiring in their love oi country, and the manifestations j of lt among all classes In this dark hour of j national misfortune are especially touching. It was recently suggested by an Alsatian woman that the women of France should raise a contribution to pay the German Indemnity and deliver the native Boil from the presence of the baled conqueror. The suggeatlou was taken up by a Paris editor of the Journal des D?bats, lt waa promptly seconded by all the papers of tho elly and country-and with an enthusiasm,aimost unprecedented, ihe whole population appear to be rallying to lt. The Assembly has paused with its financial schemes to await the result of this popular outburst. In every city, village and hamlet ot the kingdom committees have been organ-1 Ized to raise and receive contributions, and everywhere large sums have been subscribed. The elan is said to be Irresistible. Mr. Gail lardet says in Paris every day there are nu? merous individual subscriptions of 100,000 francs. The provinces respond with equal ardor. Many touching scenes are recorded. The other day a poor peasant, near Paris, ruined by the war, came to offer what re? mained to him, his last cow, and begged that lt might be accepted. On another day a young girl brought the fragments of finger- j rings and ear-rings. "It is all I have," she Bald timidly, "but I will give in addition one "hour's work every week." A distinguished lady, who was present, greatly moved at what she saw. threw In a brilliant diamond along with the fragmentary rings. "The example "ls too charming, I must follow lt," she Bald. Such scenes are of daily occurrence. The theatres, workshops, public offices, all mingle In the good work. In New Tork, among Frenchmen, the same enthuslam prevails, and considerable Bums are being contributed. The same spirit will be found wherever there ls a native o? ia belle France. Sssiness ?arir?.
