It appears that s canard had been put into cir? culation to the effect tbat the peuny pieces of I 1664, issued by the British mint, by some mis- [ take contained a large quantity of gold. The authors of this statement seemed to have com? menced operations by going about to the news? paper boys and flower giris and offering them two pence or three pence for pennies o? the | above date. The news spread, and these boys and girls, out of their scanty earnings, began buying Instead of selling, and ihe authors of | the deception, gradually raised the price, and succeeded In dlipOslhg* of ai?rg?

The Victoria tubular iron bridge of .Montreal exceeds ibis greatly lu length, being 5600 feet, (one and quarter miles,) but lt | rests upsn twenty-four piers, and its span H are mainly only 276 feet. The suspension bridge at Niagara spans 821 leet, and ls 245 feet above the waler. The East River bridge will span 1600 feet, at a height midway of 130 feet. -William C.. Bryant's party received, while In Havana, many courtesies from Madame Oviedo, the heroine of the diamond wedding In New York, in 1858. The Rev. J. H. Bryant writes: "She was a New York girl, named Bartlet!, who married, some years since, a rich old Cuban. I remember there was a great noise about tt st the Ume la the New York papers, aod ihe vast sums of money that were spent at the wedding. Mr. Oviedo did not | live long, and his young widow now lives In bis spacious and splendid palace, in all the luxury of a princess. We called upon her | Sunday night, lo thank her for kind attentions and lound her alone with another widow, a j sister-in-law, younger than she. Mrs. Oviedo is aa Intelligent woman, 'talks like a book,' and seems to understand all about the politics of the island. I am told she manages or over? sees her business. Sne has a large sugar plantation near Matanzas, where she spends the summers. The income from lt ls $800,000 yearly. She ie strongly in favor of the an? nexation of Cuba to the United States, but Bays she does not talk about it except to Americans." -A few ntlghbora called af the bouse of a Mr. Arnold, in Fredeiick County, Md., on Sunday evening, and were surpiised tl;LS no one came to. the 'door to 'adroit them as usual. Conscious that ; the Itally bad not lett tbe houee, they listened and the faint cry of a child con visaed - them, that something was wrong. Tht?y subs?quently gained admittance by force, and were horror-stricken on behold? ing the mother lying In the last agonies ol death and her five children speeohlerenndio senslble. It is supposed they had drank some tea which had been poisoned, and the death of the mother shortly after the discovery would seem to Indicate some Buch theory. It ls believed that the tea which was made for supper on Saturday evening, which had been purchased at a country store a day or so pre? vious, was the vehicle through which the poi? son was administered, and a portion of it ls in the hands of a chemist, who will submit lt to a thorough analysis and determine the fact whether or not lt contains poison. No sus? picion of foul play exists on any member of j the family, for all were equally arie cl ed by the poison, Bave Kr. Arnold, wbo bad left home lor Baltimore with a drove of cattle a day or two before the fatal occurrence. Ile was Im? mediately summoned home, and ls deeply sorrow-stricken by the great calamity that has befallen his heretofore happy and prosperous household. The autnoritles bave taken the matter in hand, and will proceed to a rigid investigation of all the facts and circumstances j that cluster around this remarkable and mys? terious case. Tbi? Ku-KIux Cases.' An interesting special telegram from our Washington correspondent gives the infor? mation that the decision of the Supreme ?Court upon the appeal in the case of J IE. Jefferson Greer, one of the Ku-Klux ! prisoners, will be delivered on Monday. The motion to be decided by the Court, as we understand it, involves the whole ques? tion whether Congress has the power to sus? pend the writ of habeas corpus in a time of profound peace, and whether, if ii has that power, it can delegate it to the President, who, in tarn, may transfer his delegated an 1 thority to every civil and military officer in the service of the United States. This ls the momentous question now to be determined, and the resort win be the same; if it come in the form of a refusal to allow the'canse to be argued upon its merits, or if it be given itt a judicial declaration of the cons tita ton? ality of the Enforcement Act. The special dispatches of our correspond? ent are foll and clear, and, considering the magnitude of the interests at stake, it is somewhat strange that THE CHARLESTON [ NEWS should be the only newspaper in the I State which has taken the trouble to keep its readers fully informed of the progress of the appeals to the Supreme Court The counsel who represent Mr. Avery and his compan? ions are not pleading for the exemption o* , any individual from punishment. They , raise their voice in vindication of the const. tutional rights of every citizen of the Re? public; rights which, for their own Bake, neither Radicals nor Democrats can afford to place at the mercy of a political majority. Yet THE CHARLESTON NEWS is the one paper in this State which bas made any special effort to lay the incidents and the conse? quences of the trial promptly before its readers. Charleston and Savannah. The strong point of Charleston ians is their modesty. It bas its advantages, in keeping them ont of useless squabbles about relative progress and prosperity; but, in some cases, it does the city a serious injury, as when, for instance, bashfulness prevents our people from gainsaying the gallant Georgians who make a fishing hamlet of Charleston and a Liverpool of Savannah. The opinion seems to be that if we know that we are making steady headway, and are surely, if Blowly, developing every department of business, it ls of iittlR consequence whether the rest of mankind think that we are going up hill or down. Bot this is a big mistake. In thbsa piping times of universal puffery, reputation is more than- a babble-the appearance of prosperity brings after it the solid reality, and' a few yeare of increasing trade, weil bruited abroad, bring new laborers to the field, more capital and more of every ele? ment of commercial good fortune. It ls to oar interest, therefore, to show Charleston as she is, and notas oar neighbors believe her to be. And it is equally to our advantage to satisfy oar chronic grumblers that, after all, this city is not lagging in the race. Savannah is the chief antagonist of Charleston, and, barring the attempt to tarn oar flank by baying or leasing oar main line of communication, the rivalry bas been fair and above board. But the superior ad? vantages of this city, and the skill and en? terprise of our railroad managers, are more lijan Savannah can withstand. One of her own citizens, writing in the Savannah News, admits that trade io his city "is as dull al "most as in midsummer. Beal estate is "prostrate, and our young men, clerks, la "borers and mechanics, are obliged to leave "the city for want of employment The rice "crop is short and damaged by storm?, and "all the country tributary to Savannah has "prodocd less thao one-half of a crop of cot "ton. This, together unt/t railroad compe? tition, will probably find us with 250,000 "bales less than we received last year. It "will he found that high prices, while they "may equalize matters with the planter and "give the same commission to merchants, "will not give bread to the hosts of laborers, "clerks and mechanics that are needed to "handle a large crop. Nor will a short crop "pay railroad dividends. When these ope? ratives have no employment, rents cannot "be met; grocery and dry goods bills cannot "be paid, and the retail stores are shorn of "all their profit. Just this is the condition "of Savannah at present. Her whole pros ' 'perity is wrapt up in t?ie cotton trade. Never "was a city dependent upon a more preca "rious support." Now we do not exult because Savannah is 1 in a blue way. There is room enough for both cities. But it is necessary to remind the public that it is the successful compet? j lion of Charleston which "tas had most to do with the falling off in the colton trade of our Bister port. This is shown by the fact that the decrease in the gross receipts of the Cen? tral Railroad for 1671 was twice as large as the decrease in the gross receipts of the Sooth Carolina Railroad ; and also by the fuct that the decrease in the receipts of cotton at Savannah for the current year is 52 per cent., against a decrease of 39 per cent, ut Charleston. And there is a still more striking difference in the general position of the two ports. Savannah has nothing but her cotton trade. This is not the case in Charleston. Besides the ba sloe BS in co HOD, rice aa i-1 lamber; we. have an ' enormous t-ade in commercial'fer? tilizers, in the' mining and manipulate 0f which bine large companies are actively en? gaged. In addition, we have a Very large grocery and provision trade, r*nd a jobbing trade unequalled by that or aDy other city in the South. Ol these last named branches ol business-the mining and manipulation Of phosphates, the jobbing trade, and the'sale of groceries and provisions-Savannah has little or nothing to show. As the writer from whom we quote says: "Ser whole ''prosperity is wrapt up in the cotton trade. "Never was a city more dependent upon a "more precarious support." It is not necessary to follow the writer in the Savannah .Ye ?rs into his discussion of what his city needs to. give her commercial supremacy. If Savannah can obtain lines of European steamships and cargoes for them, both ways; if she can become the out? let for Western produce and Georgia mine? rals; if she can build a large number of fac? tories and ron an air line railroad to Mem? phis-3he will improve her position, and we shall rejoice in ber new life and vigor. All that we d?sire to have kept in mind is the broad troth that Charleston, with far greater natural advantages, bas more independent | elements of growth tuan Savannah has; and, far from beiog behind hand, is, in most material points, a long way ahead of her Georgia rival. Thc Cincinnati Convention. A. J. Ban8ier, our colored Lieutenant Governor, bas written a letter to Pinchback, the black Lieutenant-Go vernor of Louisiana, in which he expostulates with the indepen? dent Republicans who are organizing the Cincinnati Convention. Rangier, like Mr. Sumner, has had occasion to regret the coarse of the President, "in some matters "with which tue public are familiar;" but he does not believe that Mr. Sumner, because of. his difference with the President, would j do injustice "to a man," meaning MjpGrant, "to whom the civilization of this country "owes mach." He reminds Messrs. Sumner, Scharz and Trumbull that the Philadelphia Convention is the place where the renomina? tion,of Grant Bhould be opposed, and if they fail they should recognize the nominees and acquiesce in the popular decision. Banaler unctuously declares that the colored popula? tion almost idolize Charles Sumner; but he is confident that they will support, en masse, "the nominees of the Philadelphia Conven? tion, whomsoever they may b?." AU this would be very sweet and pretty, if it were not known that Ransier is a con? sistent member of the Office-holding.Ring, and one of the most notorious time-servers in the State. The New Domesday Book. One great cry of the English demagogues ls that the Boil, the common inheritance, is monopolized by a few individuals, and this idea is encouraged by the oratorical state? ment that all the broad acres of England be long to only 30,000 persons. On-the other side >f the water the leading statesmen do- not seem to fear a scrutiny of a popular griev tnce, and Earl Derby has made a motion in he House of Lords, to which the govern? ment baB assented, for a "nominal list of "every owner of land, to the extent of one "acre or upwards, in every county in Eng 'land, together with the quantity of land 'which each owner has in the county." Sverybody will welcome the prospect of this lew Domesday Book, which will Bet at rest hecuriou8 controversy of fad which has irisen as to the English people being di? vorced from the soil. A striking instance of he popular error is given by the Marquis of Salisbury. The number of landed proprie ors in Hertfordshire was stated at 245, and he Marquis, as the* result of his own in? tuirles, arrived at the conclusion that the .ctual number was about 8600. Lord Derby, rho does not speak carelessly, bas expressed he belief that, instead of 30,000 landed pro irietors, the actual number in England is leorer 300,000, representing 1,500,000 per? ons. It seems likely, therefore, that tbe hrieks about, the land monopoly in Ens and will prove to be as well-founded as the American yells about the pauper labor of Surope. JUDGE T. J. MACKEY proposes to live in Jhester; and we learn from the Beporter hat it is his avowed purpose to impress ipon the grand juries is his circuit the duty >f finding true bills against alf the Federal (Ulcers who have arrested citizens, without tarrant, under the Ku-Klux act. We hope hat the Arch-Radical means what he says; mt we doubt it WE have received from the Superintend mt of the Census a copy of the first volume )f the census of 1870, containing the sta .istics of population. Female Clerks. Some of the great banking and insurance companies ia England have entered upon a social experiment of considerable importance, Qo less than the employment of a special class )f lady clerks. The Prude at lal Assurance Com pany, which has the largest slat!of clerks of any London office, has created a department lor female service, for which only the daugh tera and widows of professional men, mer? chants and gentlemen engaged in public om ces are eligible. The restriction ls an arbitrary one, and yet will probably be lound in Eng? land to work well enough in practice. In the United States, of course, no such limitation would be thought of. It will be interesting to watch the course of this experiment. The female treasury clerks in Washington have proved a success, and there ls no visible rea? son why they should not be found to "work' equally well in private establishments.
