The Due de ! Noaiiles comes of an old and historic family, j He served In the Chamber of Peers In 1826, 1 under Loni? Philipe. The Courier des Etats 1 Unto compliments him, both as a man and as ? a diplomatist, and declares that he is one o? < the most distinguished representatives that j I ran ce could send to America. | -The residence of Mr. Henry McCoUum, near Bed Banks, Robeson County, waa visited , by Stephen Lowery, one of the outlaws, and present leader of the gang, one day last week. Mr. McCOIlnm was at work In the field et the tine, and knew nothing of the visit until the outlaw had left. He appropriated a fine watch belonging to Mrs. McCollum, and a gun belonging to her husband, but afterwards, at the carnes', solicitations of the lady, returned ; the watch. He carried off the gun, but mo? lested nothing else. -Mr. Robert Bonner-la either very ?brewd or very lucky In his purchases of horses. The name of Dexter ls probably as well known as that of the President of the United Sutes, Recently, Startle, a young colt from Bonner's stable at Fleetwood Park, trotted a quarter of a mlle In thirty second?, or at the rate of a mlle in two minutes and fourteen seconds. Mr. Bonner paid twenty thousand dollars for che colt, and after this feat was immediately offered by its original owner thirty-five thous? and dollars lor it. -The report of Attorney-General Williams, In response to a resolution of the Honte ol Representatives, shows that five hundred and one persons were arrested in South Carolina in pursuance of the act of Congress of April, 1871, and that fifty-three confessed In open - court they were or had been members of the combination Mid conspiracies forbidden and made penal by said act. In North Carolina thirty-seven persons were convicted or pleaded guilty of violations of the law; nine hundred - and forty four persons were Indicted for simi? lar fi?lationB; one hundred and fifty-two per? sons have, been Indicted In the southern and fonr hundred and ninety in the northern dis? trict of Mississippi. -A Washington telegram, of Sunday, says: '.The pressure to have Congress pass its judg? ment against the consequential claims before the Geneva conference having somewhat abat? ed, the friends ofthat movement have turned their attention to the Executive, who has been advised by some leading bankers of New York to waive that feature of the American case, for the reason that no European capital is seeking investment In the new American rail? road and other securities. The President ex? pressed himself surprised to find such a gene? ral sentiment among capitalists, public men and the press lu favor of withdrawing the claim, but he Intimated that the administra? tion Intended to adhere to ita position of sub? mitting th?*, feature to the arbitration as a preliminary question, with the very general expectation that lt would be threwn out, and thereby settle the principle that neutrals will 'in luture in no event be liable for indirect damages. The administration take the ground , that Great Britain has as muc*h t,o gain by such a result as the United Statis, and ought not to abandon the treaty an a preliminary question. ??-A horrible incident occurred at a? large fire in Wooster street, New York, on Saturday night. The flfth.floor ol' the building was oc? cupied by a tailor's co-operative society. Several tailors were working. They rushed down and attempted to escape by the stairs. The smoke and intense heat drove back the I three last. There? was no way of escape by the .robt. ' Descending to the fourth floor, one Ferdinand jumped from the rear window, fifty feet to me ground, and was picked up Insensible, but without serious hurt. Two others, John and James McBride, brothers, sought to escape by similar mean?. One was caught by the flames, fell to the floor and was burned to a crisp. The other was leaning out of the window imploring help, when the flames caught him and burned him to a cinder, and his burned body remained leaning out of the window until the fire was put out. During the fire the corpse hung from the window In an easy attitude, as if inspecting the disaster, and presented a horrible aspect. When the corpses were removed their appearance caused a thrill of horror. James's body was entire, with the exception cf the lower limbs, but John's corpse was disfigured almost -beyond recognition. -The Brooklyn Presbytery, moved thereto probably by the action of the Rev. Dr. Cuyler lo permitting a woman to occupy bis pulpit, has prepared an address to the General As? sembly asking tor ?he passage of some prohib? itory Jaw upon the subject. They ask this on the ground that woman's place in the church ls as a helper, not as a principal; that lt is not her right to teach officially, and that the Bible does not sanction soch teaching; that gov? ernment and teaching are inseparable, and both are prohibited to woman; that the ! woman should be subject to her husband, and that this ls irreconcilable with the preroga? tives of the holy ministry. No woman in the Old Testament, they say, was ever anointed to thlB prophetic office-the New Testament ministry being a ministry of men exclusively. The proof of this subordinate relation ol woman, they argue, is found in the wrltiDgs of Moses and St. Paul, and that In the latter more than one express prohibition of woman's preaching. To any church that believes lt wiong tor women to occupy Its pulpits, and direct the spiritual affairs ot its congregations, such a call as this comes none too soon. The number of women who have undertaken to preach, and some of whom, especially In the Uultatlan church, have been regularly li? censed to do so, ls fast multiplying. In the New York papers the sermons of many of these women are regularly reported. The Cincinnati Convention. To-doy the Liberal Bepublican Mass Con? vention meets in Cincinnati; and there is no room for doubting that the gathering will be imposing in numiers, as weil as in the character of the' delegates. Only a few weeks ago the movement appeared to have little vitality, but from the time of the issu? ing of the Greeley-Selden letter and the I holding or the Nt*? York Meeting, notable 1 accessions of strength were received from 1 all quarters or the country. The conven tion, as it stands to-day, is the mouth-pie ce of a people who rise up against the nepotism, ( the usurpation, the implacability and the , truckling truculence of the Grant admin is- ( tralion. It is the exponent or the desires of c millions of American citizens, who demand Amnesty and Reform. < But the very strength of the Cincinnati Convention exposes it to perils which it would otherwise escape. ID the earlier stages of the Liberal Bepublican revolt, the * leaders were del -mined to act in a cautious 1 and conciliatory manner. As the Democracy * hold the balance of power, it was politic to l frame a declaration of principles and seek ( out candidates whom they might not be con- E strained to oppose. It "was, also, highly ad- j vi sable to avoid any action which might i alienate Mr. Greeley and bis friends in the 1 Bast, or the adherents of Labor and Bev- 1 anue Beform in the West. As the move- c oient would depend for its success upon 1 ietaching votes from the administration party, and upon securing the bulk of the Democratic vote, there was every incentive : to adhere to a line of conduct which should not rep'.-1 any section of expected supporters. But the Liberal Bepublican cry has been 9choed in every State of the Union, and the j party leaders may be tempted to aban- r don.the wise moderation which had guided s their counsels. Feeling that the people are 1 with them, they may be induced to allow 1 mere politicians an influence which would . be fraught with evil consequences. This is i the danger. Already there is the hint that > one plank must be put in the platform to 1 please the West, and another plank must J be ripped out to satisfy the East. Cliques , are button-holing and wire-pulling, and c threaten that they will not work with the. J convention unless their pets be nominated. ' Instead of a body of patriotic citizens con- . suiting together for the welfare of the conn- j try, there is the chance that the convention i may become the creature of caucusses and 1 Bings. 1 We do not think that there is serious , reason to apprehend the manifestation of , the influences to which we have alluded ; but I we should not ignore the fact of their-ex? istence in the convention which meets to-day. That convention bolds in its hands the destinies of the Republic, and ? upon its sagacity and prudence depend' the triumph or the defeat of the principles whicb it represents. If the convention nom? inate proper candidates and adopt a judi? cious platform, Grant will be beaten in No? vember. Bat an indiscreet choice of candi? dates and a narrow and sectional platform will make the overthrow of the Administra? tion party well-nigh impossible. To the Cincinnati Convention every eye is turned with anxious hope. Well may we of the South pray that the electric wires may soon be musical with tidings which shall be the harbinger of Unity, Prosperity and Peace to the Great Republic of the West. The ..Ku-Klux" District. Very few persons have any dellnite idea of the extent of the injury inflicted upon the agricultural and commercial interests by the wholesale arrests which have been made in the upper counties of this State. The people heartily condemn the outrages which such men as the witnesses for the govern? ment confess that ' they have committed ; but they know that innocence is no shield, and they flee from South Carolina to avoid an incarceration which may be their fate whenever a venal or half-crazed colored man chooses to make an accusation against them. As a necessary cons?quence the cultivation of the soil is suspended, the merchants return their goods to the firms from whom they were bought, and the peo? ple of cine counties live in a condition of uneasiness which had no parallel during the fierce years of war. In the small County of L?ureos, by actual count, five hundred ploughs lie idle in the fields. That county alone looses the cultivation of ten thousand acres of land as the result of the savage per? secution which the General Government has carried on. Aoy practical farmer, in the North or West, can calculate for himself how much damage is done the county by such a suspension of labor in the spring of the year. Nay ! the colored laborers, who are thrown out of employment, feel acutely the wrong of which they are, in their degree, the victims. No one in South Carolina pretends to justify crime or excuse hideous outrages; bat nothing has been unearthed to justify the intervention of the United States author? ities, or to warrant them in delivering up thousands of American citizens to the tender mercies of spies and paid informers. TUE Laurens prisoners were not mana? cled untii they were brought from Columbia to Charleston ; and the Columbia Carolinian is authority for the statement that Deputy Marshal Hubbard declared that he intended, by putting on the irons, to "humiliate'* these men, and would do BO as often as he (tad the opportunity. Mr. Hubbard evi? dently enters into the Bpirit of the tbmg. An "Unprejudiced" Juror. The conduct of Mr. Gilbert Pillsbury, one of the jurors in the United States Conn, is commended to the attention of Judges Bond and Bryan. That worthy, in the course of a public speech delivered on Mon? day night, said : "I am on a jury trying " citizens of South Carolina for their offences. " Agains?whom were those offences eommit "ted? Against you, my colored fellow-citi "zensl Yes, were it not for Uncle Sam'3 "bayonets, you would be whipped now for " every frown as yon were before you were "free." This bitter partisan ?B eminently qualified for a juror, if every white prisoner is to be held guilty until he is proved to be innocent. If not, not ! New Booka. ADELE. A Tal??. By Julia Kavanagh. Au? thor of Nathalie, Rachel Gray, Ac. Three volumes in one. New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1872. Charleston: Holmes's Book H .?use. ThiB novel was written .fifteen years ago; but ll it were fresh from the workshop lt would be dubbed "old-fashioned," because the plot flo? s not depend for its interest upon either biga? my, murder or seduction. The story ls of courtship, love and married life, and Miss Kavanagh Is able to make lt exceedingly pleasant and attractive without going beyond the bounds ot probability, or seeking Incidents more startling than those of every-day Hie. Ad?le, the central figure', is a fascinating little body, who might well turn the head of a colder man than William Osborne, and the history of their differences and misunder? standings, although they lead to the growth )f confiding and unselfish affection, may Berve :o remind the reader, In these degenerate lays, that the falling out cf laitbiul friends ls lot alwayB the renewing of love. All the ?haracters are well drawn, and there ls not a lull chapter in the whDle book. Pp. 574. Cloth. $l 25. CECIL'S TRY.?T. A Novel. By the Author of Carlyon's Year, Bred in the Bone. &c. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1872. Charles ton: Holmes's Book House. Whoever begins this novel will go on to the md, but it ls doubtful whether there will be my better motive than bare curiosity-the de tire to know how the enigma of the plot is lolved. The writing Is eaay and forcible, and io murdering the King's English can be ?barged against the author. When this IB taid, nearly all is said; for the story is pitched n a minor key, and the only slroog character s very repulsive. The author relies on mys erv and action to produce the desired effects; orgetting that the development and contrast if character may be made lar more striking han any complication arising from an alarm ng accident or ID eec lo na masquerade. Tout le m?me the book will be read. Pp. 125. Paper. Price 50 cents. flostetter's gittere.
