' -Germany Is to have but one executioner alter the lat ot May. He will reside at Berlin, and receive two hundred -dollars 1er each ex . ecutlon. -Hawkins, who resigned his Beat in the New York Assembly in disgust, says that there are nov only twenty-seven honest men in that-' body; the balance, an even hundred, being regular thieves. -The^Jfarchloness of Bute Is about to re? ceive as a wedding gift a magnificent tiara of of seven stars,-composed o? the finest brilliant diamonds, from the tenantry o? the Marquis on the Dumlrles estate, and also presents of great value from the Bute tenantry. -Mr. Paran Stevena, an enterprising citi? zen of New York, died last Thursday. He was at different times proprietor of tbe Revere and Tremont Hotels, Boston; the Fifth avenue Hotel, New York, and the Continent il, Phila? delphia. Beiore the war he was the head o? the Battle House, Mobile; It is to be Inferred that "he knew how to keep a hotel." -The official bulletin of the patriotic sub? scriptions, in New York City, for the liberation of France, Just published, shows tbat the ' whole amount subssribed up to the 21st ult. ls $15,370, most of it raised by the efforts ot per? sons whose means are limited, but whose at? tachment to their country IB without bounds. . -Terre Haute has a professional man o? all ' work, named Springer. He married a couple one day, and the next day he sold them furnl ' ture for their new home-; shortly after be at- j tended the wife in the capacity of a physician ; J a consequence of this part of his work he soon acted as undertaker at ber funeral, and on the following Sunday preached her funeral v sermon. Not long alter he married the wid . ower to another lady, thus beginning the old process over again. -The medical officer of Liverpool, Eogland, In his report for 1871, gives the following facts - In reference to small-pox and vaccination: Among 1616 cases of the disease, the rates o? mortality were as follows: Among the no? va cd nated, 56.4 per cent; whare one scar was visible, 14.T per cent.; where there were proofs of two vaccinations, 9.8 per cent.; and where three scars were discernible, 7 per cent. These facts go to show the necessity o? repeated vaccination; a view which ls now generally admitted. It' repeated vaccination were generally practiced, under proper ad? vice, the existence of small-pox as an epidem? ic would cease. . . r ; -Under tbe head of "Diamond Cut Dia? mond," the New York Tribune says: "Those two eminent railroad managers, Messrs. Tho?. A. Scott, of the Pennsylvania Central, and John W. Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohio, lately locked horns in Washington, and the former, after a protracted, desperate contest, j triumphed. Wu now 4ear thut Mr. John W. Garrett has countered this rap by getting through the late New Jersey Legis'ature a charter for a short apparently insignificant road, where, by through connections already bargained for, the Baltimore and Ohio may run its trains right Into Jersey City In utter in-1 dependence ot the Pennsylvania Central and its henchman, the Camden and Ambo;.-. More succinctly, each of the two railroad kings has secured a clear track from the Hudson to the Potomac, and will soon be running through trains from the commercial to the political metr?polis lu unembarrassed competition with his great riva). Most heartily do we congram- j late the public on these facts." ' * -The eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which has been in progress lor several'days, has as? sumed aten ible violence, and Intelligence ls now communicated by the cable that two hun? dred persons, inhabiting the villages at Its base, have been burled by the lava. Thous? ands of others have fled in dismay to situations of safety, and the distress and excitement are Intense. The event recalls but few parallels in the history of Vesuvius. The first recorded eruption of the famous volcano occurred in the year 70, when Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed. Then followed a long period of apparent rest. In 1066 floods of lava were again belched forth, and since that.tlme about sixty eruptions have occurred. The most con? spicuous ol these were In 1779, ia 1794, when the town of Torre 'del Greco was destroyed; In 1823, in 1855, destroying the village of Cerc?lo, and in 1858, '59 and '61, when the eruptions were especially marked for their terrible gran? deur. -A letter from Newfoundland gives intelli? gence ol the United States Arctic exploring expedition, under Captain Hall,. received by the Danish brig Meerbek, lrom Disco, Green and. On February 28 the exploring steamer I Polaris put Into Disco for fresh provisions. On I the 8th of that month she had encountered heavy weather, and run upon ice snags o.n the peaks of Icebergs imbedded in sa^d or mud. The Polaris was so damaged ti\at she was only kept afloat by the united, exertions of all hands at the pumps, and when she reached Disco the company w.-re so exhaust* d that another day at sea mus'u have compelled them to abandon the vessel. The log of the Polaris contained many strange discoveries, which led to the conviction tbat in the ex? treme and undiscovered north there ls at times a genial atmosphere and open seas. Plants were deteoAed In the ice which are in? digenous to Southern climate?, and the exam? ination o? a floating stick of wood, found on Saturday, January 13, proved it to be a limb of 8omo huge birch. The most Important clue to the existence of a polar passage is the fact of the crew of the Polaris having seen, followed and killed a whale having In one ot its flus a harpoon similar to those used in the South Pacific; and this happened in a region where, as Captain Hall Bays, "the sall ot an American or European vessel had never been given to the wind before." In May Captain Hall hopes to make a clear passage to the un? discovered pole. Speculative Arithmetic. There are name ron 3 odds and end3 scat? tered about in all the States ol the Union whose votes, if concentrated in a Presidential election would probably determine its result in any contest. In addition to those odds 1 and ends which consist of all kinds of "isms" and societies, there are foreign segments of our population, which, if banded together, would tell decisively. The two principal fractions are the Irish and German. There are, besides, considerable bodies of Scandi? navians, Belgians, Hollanders, - Danes, French and Italians, the votes of which thrown together would materially affect th? result in the States in which they reside. The German vote, if cast together, can j turn the scalejp the States of Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio. The total German pop? ulation in the United States is set down at 1,696,410. In the four States named it is as follows: Voters. Population. Estimated. Pennsylvania.160,146 32,029 Ohio.v.. 182,899 36,578 Indiana.... 78,056 15,611 Illinois.203,750 40,750 Total.!..624,851 124,968 The total Irish born population in the United SUtes was in 1870 1,838,678, giving a voting force of 367,735. The States in which their votes will most strongly affect | results are the following : Population. Votes. California. 54,421 9,070 Connecticut. 70,630 11,273 Illinois.120,162 20,027 Indiana. 28,698 4,449 Missouri. 54,983 9,164 New Hampshire. 12,190 2,031 New Jersey. 86,784 14,464 New York..528,806 88,134 Ohio..... 82,074 12,112 Pennsylvania.235,750 40,625 The Welsh, who are chiefly resident in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and are for the most part miners, nu ' ir 71,904, and have ll; 984 votes. They are scattered through the following States : Population. Votes. . California. 1,517 253 Illinois. 3,146 524 Missouri. 1,524 254 New York. 7,856 1,309 Ohio.12,939 2,156 Pennsylvania.17,633 4,605 Wisconsin. 6.550 1,091 The Hollanders number 46,560 and have 7760 votes; the Belgians 12,474, with. 2076 votes. The latter are chiefly located in Wis- J consio and Illinois; the others in Illinois, Michigan, New York and New Jersey, about half being in Michigan. The Scandinavian population are chiefly settled, in the States of Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Wiscon? sin. Ia the. last three States they exer? cise an important influence. In Illinois they hare nearly or quite 2000 votes. The Swedes are chiefly settled in Illinois and Minnesota. In the first named State they have over 5000 votes. There are also about 1500 Swiss votes in that State, while Ohio has over2000. These votes ma" turn the scale, especially as they are quite clannish. The total populations before noticed'are: Population. Votes. Swedes. 94,443 15,740 Norwegians.112,113 18,685 Swiss.. 73,964 12,327 French.!.. 114,930 20,830 This latter population is scattered through the cities and does not usually live together in villages. We extract the following from the Boston Globe : 'Under the new apportionment the next electoral college will consist of 357 members, of whom lt will require 179 for a choice. Ac? cording to "Liberal" slate-makers, the Ger? man vote, the Democratic and such Republi? cans as can be drawn off will be likely, if a coalition be formed, to carry Pennsylvania, 28; New York, 34; Ohio, 22; Illinois, 21; In? diana. 14; Missouri, 15; making 134-ia addi? tion to the Slates of Delaware, 3; Maryland, 8; Georgia, ll; Kentucky, 12; Texas, 8, and Ten? nessee, ll; making 53, or in all 187, or 8 more than enough to elect. This estimate leaves out Virginia, ll; West Virginia, 5; Nevada, 3; Arkansas, 6; New Jersey, 9; Oregon, 3, which are confi? dently counted on by the Liberals. Tbeir vote is 37, which would swell the Liberal vote in the electoral college to 224, and would give a majority of 45. We have not considered the colored vote in the above classification. If the Presidential contest be between Democrats and Republicans J only, the colored people will generally vote for the Republican candidates; but if there be two Republican tickets in the field it may be practicable to split the colored rote, even io States where they have hereto? fore been unanimous lu supporting the ad ministration. 'the Scott Ka-Klnx. The Lancaster Ledger says that the United Brotherhood, or Scott Ku-Klux Klan, was organized by the notorious Thomas Jef? ferson Muckey, one of the Circuit Judges. It was intended to secure the re-election of Scott, the ritual of the Union League being defective in that respect. The rilual of the Brotherhood compels its members to vote for whatever men may be placed la nom? ination for office; and ttje "penalty for vio? lation of the oath which the member takeB "ie Deojh " The Medical Col loge. Tbe recent changes in the faculty ol the Medical College of South Carolina are ex? pected to increase its value to students of j medicine, and make it eqnal to any sinjilar institution in the country. Its clinical ad? vantages are greater than can be bad io any other Southern city, excepting New Or? leans, tbe city hospital having two hundred beds; and it is a matter for surprise that any one should think of entering a Northern college when an institution of the highest class opens wide its doors in Charleston to the citizens of South Carolina and the ad? joining States. Dr. E. Geddings, the acknowledged head of his profession in Charleston, and who en? joys, oesides, a national reputation, is the emeritus professor of the institutes and practice of medicine. Dr. F. Peyre Porcher is elected to-the chair of clinical medicine. The chair of obstetrics is divided; Dr. J. Ford Priolean being elected to the chair of the principles and practice of obstetrics, and Dr.' F. M. Robertson to the chair of gyn? ecology and clinical obstetrics. The other members of the faculty are: Dr. R. A. Kin? loch, professor of surgery; Dr. J. P. Cbazal, professor of general pathology, pathological anatomy and hygiene; Dr. Middleton Michel, professor of physiology; Dr. Geo. E. Tres col, professor of materia medica and thera? peutics; Dr. C. U. Shepard, Jr., professor of chemistry ; Dr. J. F. M. Geddings, professor or institutes and practice of medicine; Dr. F- L. Parker, professor of anatomy. The annual circular of the Medical College will be is?ned in July, and, in the meanwhile, all letters relating to college affairs should be addressed to Dr. Geo. E. Trescot, Dean of the Faculty, Charleston, S C. r The Public Schools. We print in another column a brief com? munication from Mr. School Commissioner Grimfce in reply to the suggestions of THE NEWS, looking to the support of our public schools, notwithstanding the neglect, or something worse, of the State government. We heartily endorse the appeal of the com mls8iooer._ _ Huw Manufactures Pay. A cotton factory has been erected within a few miles of Lexington Village, the ma? chinery bas arrived, and in a short Lime the bumming spindles will be at work. The Dispatch urges its readers to endeavor to build other mills in the county, and if it needs any statistics to support its argu? ments it will find them in the published* re? ports .of the dividends paid by the New England factories. The New England factories have largely increased their prouts of late years. Count? ing by decades they made: From 1820 to 1830, a shade over Sj per cent. ; from 1830 to 1840, just 10 per cent. ; from 1840 to 1850, hardly 8j per cent. ; from 1850 to 1860, a fraction over 5* per cent. ; from 1860 to 1870, not quite 12 per cent. Marten's Tables of Manufacturing Divi? dends of New England Hills, from 1820 to 1870, give the following results. The work is said to be one of undoubted authenticity: Year. Av. Div. Year. Av. Div. Year. Av. Div. Per cent. Per cent.

It moat be remembered that mills in the cotton region have great advantages over tho New England factories. The saving to the Southern mill-owner in freight, commis? sion?, loss of weight, cost of site, ?fcc., will enable him to make a handsome dividend, while his Northern competitors are barely paying expenses. One of the most acnte manufacturers in the Sooth has made the calculation that a mill-owner in Columbia, for example, can stll his yarns at what it costs the Lowell mill-owner to manufacture the same number of yarns, and still realize a fair profit.. This expresses in few words the strength of the position held by those who advocate the erection of factories throughout the South. Well managed, they must be a highly profitable investment: and the indirect advantages to the sections in which the mills are built must be fully equal to the direct advantages reaped by the stockholders. The mills will give the planter a quick and satisfactory market for his cotton; they will give employment to women and children who now cannot find any work adapted to their strength ; they will increase the value of landed property; they will add to the business of the SoalMfh railroads; they will put in circulation amongst the Southern people millions of money which are paid, in the cost of yarns and cotton goods, to the mechanics and factory hands of the North. Capital cannot find a more Burely profitable investment than in the building of cotton mills in the South. The Full Senate. When the United States Senate, on Wednes? day, decided to admit General Ransom as a member cf that body irom North Carolina, Mr. Thurman remarked that, for the first time siuce 1871, all the States are fully represented in Congress. Now that this much of Justice has been done, tardily and ungraciously, how? ever, the New York Evening Post says 'it would be well to take another step towards reconciliation and peace. The rule of the bayonet has been gradually giving way to law. although with apparent reluctance. At most, the proscription ol the Southern leaders for politi? cal offences cannot continue through another administration. It would be an admirable sequel to this act completing the representa? tion of the Southern States for Congress to adopt au act sweeping away all disabilities. Universal amnesty is one of the demands of the hour/'_ . _ ? The Magazines for May. Scribner's Monthly Illustrated Magazine, which enters upon its fourth volume with the May number, Is fairly entitled to tase rank with the best and most entertaining of the I Mcnthiie8. Not the ?east of ita many excel-J lencee is ils large type and. fine paper, while the illustrations which are given in g?rerons profueion are the very best o? their kind. Toe coatenlB are varied and interesting, several chapters of Mrs. Ollphant's new and powerful novel, "At His GateB,'' forming tbe pi?ce de r?sistance of ihe number. The old Eclectic Magazine still holds its place, handsome and enterprising as ever in its collection of good things from abroad. It is now publishing steel portraits of prominent americans, the May number presenting the visage of Secretary Fish as a frontispiece. The St. Paul's Magazine, one of the most sprightly and popular of the London month? lies, is now Issued simultaneously in this country under the imprint of Llppinoott ? Co. The number before us is enriched by contri? butions from Jean Ingelow, Robert Buchanan and authors of equally high repute. These magazines may be had at Fogartle's, King street. jflarrieo.
