? zy' mt VCLUME IX.-NUMBER 1967 CHARLESTON WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE LIBERAL CAMPAIGN. THE MEANING OE THE APPROACHING ANTI-GRANT CONFERENCE. Why Senator Schurz Signed the Call. CBICAGO, June 14. The announcement irom New York that Senator Schurz had signed the call lor a meet? ing in sympathy with the party headed by William Collen Bryant, receives flat contra? diction from Mr. Schurz's friends. He was not asked to a conference to take action against the Cincinnati nominees. The repre? sentations made to him were that the meeting was to be composed of those In opposition to the present administration, and the question of the Cincinnati movement up to this time has had no part in the proposed movement, BO far as lt ls understood by the friends ot Mr. Soban. The St Louis Republican, to-morrow, will contain the following, attesting the correct' ness of the assertions of Mr. Schurz's friends. Says the Republican, in the exact language suggested by Mr. Schurz in reference to the proposed New York consultation: The meeting or gentlemen opposed to the re-election ol Grant, which, according to adis ?atch published yesterday, will be held in New brk on the 20th of this month, ls to be com? posed of men representing all the different shades of the. opposition,'and not, as has been suggested In some quarters, of men unfavor? able to Mr. Greeley as a candidate for the Pres? idency. Its purpose ls to unite all the elements of opposition to comuioa action. The list of the signers of the invitation can hardly have been complete, as we are Informed on trust? worthy authority that the use of the name of Senator Schurz was obtained only upon the understanding that the Invitation should be signed also by some other gentlemen known to be friendly to Mr. Greeley, and distinctly representing the Cincinnati nominees, and should be addressed to prominent men known to be of the same way of thinking. The Republican further states that the "as? sumption which has gone out from the East that because Mr. Schurz was disappointed In the result of the Cincinnati nominations he will not support Mr. Greeley, ls very far from being true. We have no doubt whatever that the senator, should uo opportunity be em? braced before, will in his own emphatic man? ner establish the troth of this statement at the meeting in New York on the 2 o th. The senator regards it as now certain that the only candidates lor President before the peo? ple next November will be Greeley and Grant." What ls Said About lt In Washington. WASHINGTON, June 14. The existence of the circular, published in New York this morning with so much parade* contal nine: the names ot Senator Carl Schurz, Jacob D. Cox, William Cullen Bryant, Oswald Ottendorfer, David A. Wells, and Jacob Brink erhoff, recommending a meeting and confer? ence of gentlemen opposed to the present ad? ministration, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on the 20tb instant, was known to many promi? nent politicians here when lt was first circu? lated, but it was not deemed proper to refer to lt lo a public manner until lt should come to the eyes ol the public through the regular channel. The meeting ou the 20tb, if lt cakes place at all, will not, it is well known, be un? friendly to Mr. Greeley. Every gentleman sign? ing that cal!, with, lt may be, one exception, will heartily support the Cincinnati ticket, al? though they were all originally strongly op? posed to the selection of Mr. Greeley, and the call expressly sets forth that lt is to be a conference of gentlemen opposed lo the pres? enta dm inls t ra tio u. Political Talk In Was ll In gt UR. WASHINGTON, June 14. The administration is working upon Senator Sumner through several, sharp colored politi? cians, IQ prevent him irom openly declaring in favor of the Cincinnati nominees. The sen? ator said recently that the nominations at Philadelphia demonstrated that tbe military cllqne at the While House have no regard whatever for the interests of the Republican par.'y, and that this clique was determined to both role and ruin it. The news from every quarter received through au extensive correspondence at the Greeley and Brown headquarters in this oliy ls of the moat encouraging character. Let? ters from prominent Republicans in many of the Eastern and Western StateB who will not pronounce ia favor of Greeley and Brown until after the Baltimore Convention give as? surances that at least twenty-five per cent, ot the Republican votes will be given for those gentlemen should the; be endorsed at Balti? more. As a sample of many other letters, the following extractB are given from a letter dated at St, Anthony's Falls, Minnesota : "Hun most happy to be able to state that a decided majority of the Republicans of this city are in favor ol Greeley and Brown, and In the event they are endorsed at Ballimore, Minnesota will give them a majority of twen? ty thousand." The news from the mining regions of Penn? sylvania is very satisfactory. . It is thought by gentlemen well Informed that In that section of the State one-third of the Republicans will vole for Mr. Greeley, as he is recognized as a true friend of laboring men. The Democratic opponents ot Mr. Greeley in Washington have been quietly Laying their plans for Borne time, and have bad great hopes of success until very lately. The action of the State Democratic Conventions held In Kansas, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Wiscon? sin, bas completely overwhelmed them, and they are forced to admit that there is a stam? pede of the Democratic party to Greeley. They feel now that the case ls hopeless tor them unless they can get Mr. Greeley to with? draw, and of this they admit lhere is very lit? tle chance. * lt ls beyond all doubt thal Maryland and Vir? ginia will send solid delegations lor Mr. Gree? ley to Baltimore. No Earthly Deubt of Baltimore En? dorsing Greeley. [From Brooks's New York Express, Dem.] Information now concentrated here leaves no earthly doubt of the nomination ot Greeley at Baltimore by a great, a very great majori? ty, probably two-thirds and more. The nomi? nation will be a cheerful, hearty one, and will thus start commanding success. Wheo the nomination ls made, nine hundred and ninety nine oat ot every one thousand Democrats will come into the Hue, and for every Democrat lost there will be tea Republican galos. We novfk-hnve, as lar as conventions have been hela, every Western State pronouncing for Greeley, including-and very unexpectedly Indiana, despite Dan. Yoorhees's pronuncia meato. Hendricks, the old staunch Democrat, and George W. Julian, the earliest ot the old Abolitionists, have joined hands there, and a Republican is run on the general Congress ticket with Kerr, (Democrat.) Bendricks will be ' elected, thea' go to the Senate, nod tbet Democratic candidate lor lieuten? ant-governor, who is a Methodist of great wealth, will take his place aa Governor ol the Suit. Morton will thus be permitted to stay at home. The Eastern States will all be Greeley. Tbere sra a lew exceptions-one, perhaps, in Rhode Island. The Central States will ail be Greeley. Delaware excepted, whose eyeB have not yet been opened to the tact that the thirteenth and fourteenth amend? ments are irrevocably in the Federal consti? tution. There may be some little trouble irom New Jersey, but lhere are no great signs of lt. The majority of the Pennsylvania dele? gation are known to be for Greeley, and la *he end the vote of the State, lt Is believed, will be a unit The Southern States, without excepilon, will be Greeley, unless there be a divided vote Irom Georgia, where the Bour? bon element has not yet heard of the civil war. In Ballimore, where the convention ls to be held, the enthusiasm for Greeley is Interne. The b'hoys are preparing the biggest sort of demonstrations to welcome the New Yorkers and all the other States of the Union. The big ball ls rolling-and whoever does not roll ou with lt, will roll under. Thc World Repudiates the Soreheads. The Woild regards the movement of t e Gentlemen who are invited to confer together lhere on the 20th, In reference to the ann? otant programme, as one wholly outside of tife Democratic party, and that unless lt com? mands a very large Bepubllcan following, Democrats will Bhuu it. THE LABOE STRIKE LU JSEW YORK BREAKING.. UP. Beginning of tho Long Branch Season The Radical Summer Mecca-Mr. Ben? nett's Funeral-The Future or the Herald-Arrival of the Heated Term. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] NEW YORK, June 12. ' The labor strikers are not going to achieve the great triumph they anticipated. The "eight boure' demonstration'' on Monday was a failure. Instead of thirty thousand men In line, there were 'CBS than three. Many trades refused to join the procession at the last mo? ment. Yesterday the cause was still further demoralized hythe caving in ot the employees of Singer's sewing machine factory, over fif? teen hundred in number. These men returned to ten hours labor, their old hours, and aban? doned the exaction of twenty per cent, ad? vance in wages, after having stayed away from work one week. They adopted a set of resolutions humiliating themselves in the dust, which doubtless was the price of their em? ployers' forgiveness. The present strike will prover only a partial victory. Some of the strikers have succeeded; others still hold out; but many have returned to work minus a couple of weeks' wages. The sympathy of the community is usually with the working? men, but the violence which has characterized the present movement has deprived It of much of ibe outside moral puppert which ls necessary to its success. Still the great ques? tion ls by no m&ns settled. The working? men surrender because their ammunition hos given out, but they surrender sullenly, and with a determination to renew the war at the earliest opportunity. The summer season began at our suburban watering place, Long Branch, yesterday by the advent there of the President and his train wf domestics, military secretaries, bull dogs and horses and political hangers on. The court took possession ol the handsome cottage by the sea and others In its neighborhood, and for the coming two months there will be the seat of government of the United States. A brilliant season is expected at the Branch this year. It is true that two of the three : ruling spirits of the great fashionable resort , in the past have been snuffed out. Fisk, who , did more to build np Long Branch than any other man except Grant, ls dead. Helmbold 1 le in a lunatic asylum. But it they can reap pear no more, they at least established the notoriety of the place before they left, and lt can now flourish without them. Ail the hotels will open for the' reception of guests next Saturday. New steamboat and railroad connections with New York and Philadelphia have .been perfected. The through Journey can now be made between this city and the Branch in an hour andAhree quarters. During the past winter and spring over a hundred new and expensive villas have been erected by private gentlemen. Some ol . the diplomatic corps have rented cottages for the season, and the rich theatrical people have gone there In greater numbers than '. ever. Still, Long Branch is not in favor with '. "our best lamilles." It Is munificently pat- i ronized by the shoddy people. Tue politi? cians and the sporting fraternity, Fisk, Grant and Helmbold, are very fair types of the ! classes which frequent lt most and give tone to Its society. Our ''aristocracy," whetner o? birth or Intellect, Instinctively shrink from : euch associates. Probably Newport Is the 1 watering place most favored by the exclu- ' elves. It has lost something ot its summer : business of late years, but has gained more j proportionately in heavy respectability. > After lying in state for two weeks, the re- i mains of Mr. Bennett, of the Herald, will be } burled In Greenwood Cemetery to-morrow, i The son and heir arrived from Europe in the 1 steamer yesterday, and first heard of his i lather's death from the Sandy Hook pilot. ] Though he had been summoned nome In haste, i he had not expeeteu me mun nu wa so soon. 1 He bad the mournful satisfaction, however, i of looking upon his father's lace once more. 1 The keeping of a body so long before burial ls \ unusual. The embalming wes only partially ? successful, and decay, assisted by the hot I weather, bas been rapid. The countenance of i the deceased ls said to have changed BO much '. as scarcely to be recognizable. The younger Bennett becomes sole owner : and publisher of the Herald. Hitherto he has : shown more luterest In sporting matters than j Journalism. It romains to be Been If, with the possession o? a great positionne will feel the 1 the weight of the new responsibility, and will turn from bis pleasures to duty as Prince Harry did when he became king. It hardly seems probable, though, that Mr. Bennett will take his father's place. If he ever had any last? for Journalism he would have exhibited lt before now. The report is that the property is given to bim on condition that lt shall never go out of the family. Mr. Bennett, Jr., has bad the advantages of a liberal education and better social surroundings than his lather, and it may reasonably be expected that he will elevate the Herald to a higher plane than that it basso long occupied. With Its cir? culation and notoriety, and the money behind lt, it might aspire to be the real "Thunderer" in American Journalism. We have summer weather at last. Up to the latter part of last week the. days were cool, and overcoats were necessary for evening out? door wear. With the heat came swarms ot mosquitoes-six weeks at least belora their time, and fleas Innumerable. Southern visi? tors are arriving ia great numbers, and scat? tering off to the watering places and moun? tains. Yon would be surprised to know of the hundreds of Southern families who spend the entire summer in the mountain villages of Vermont and Western Massae hus ens, and along the banks o? the Connecticut and Narra? gansett. It would almost seem as If there were no mountains and rivers worth visiting in the South. As of pld, what is made at home In the winter ls brought here to build up the great North in the summer time. NTM. THE HEW TOBACCO TAX. A Serious Misunderstanding of the Provisions .ot the Law. WASHINGTON, June 17. The tobacco manufacturers who have been storing large quantities of tobaoco In bonded warehouses since the 6th of June, tbe day when the new revenue law was signed by the President, are astonished at the recent decis? ion of Commissioner Douglass that tobacco put In bond aluce that date and withdrawn tor consumption must pay the present tax ot thirty-two cents per pound. The commis? sioner s .ya that the working of the law la to that effect, and that only the tobacco in bond on that day is entitled to be withdrawn after July 1st at the new rate ot twenty cents per pound. Telegrams and letters in large numbers were yesterday received irom merchants in New York, Philadelphia, Ballimore and Richmond, as'r.lug If there was not some mistake. Mr. Douglass replied that he had no discretion In the matter, and that the parlies aggrieved must ur>peai to Congress for relief. A number of tobacco dealers are under the Impression that alter July 1st they will be en? titled to have the difference bet ween the old tax of thirty-two cents and the new tax of twenty cen-s on all tobacco io their possession returned ia them, but Commissioner Douglass ls preparing a letter to the effect ibat such ap? plications are useless, as no such provision ls made In the new law. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. -Twenty pereons were bitten by a mad dog in Louisville on Sunday night, and great anx? iety ls felt as to the result. -The National Theatre, of Washington, la9t nlgbt closed the most successful season in Us history. -Rev. Norman McLeod, the well known English author, 1B dead. He was sixiy years old. -The laborers employed In the concrete works at Washington struck yesterday for a reduction ot time from ten to eight hours aud an increase of pay from one dollar and filly cents to two dollars per day. -ThecoacbmakerslnNew York have suc? ceeded in iheir strike for eight hours, and five thousand ot them returned to work yesterday. Hostile demonstrations were made yesterday by the strikers against several ot the larg'* sugar refineries, near New York, but they were all repulsed by the police. THE HUBBUB AT THE HOB. -?> PANDEMONTUIM " A 31 ONO THE BOSTO? NIANS YESTERDAY. First Day of the Jins leal Earthquake Trie Baute of Banker Hill Outdone A Procession all Over Boston-Twenty Thousand Voices in Full Blast. BOSTON, June 17. The grand International Peace Jubilee opens with delightful weather and brilliant prospects of success. The special feature in the morn? ing was the arrival of the British Band about sunrise, while cannon were firing and-Dells ringing in celebration of the battle of Bunker Hill. The band was received at the depot by the jubilee executive committee and break? fasted at the quarters. The reception procession for all the visiting bands, except the French, (which had lis r?? ception last, week,) formed at eight o'clock, and embraced delegations of all the British, scotch and German societies of Boston and vicinity, and citizens generally. The First Regiment M. V. M. acted as escort, with a cavalry battalion and the boston Fusiliers. Dense crowds thronged the sidewalks and windows along the whole route, and the visitors received a hearty welcome. All the bauds appeared In parade dress. A review by the city government and a collation ended the morning parade. People are pouring into the city from all quarters and by all conveyances. Every State and Territory ls represented in the chorus al? ready hpre. The city is decorated with flags, and nearly all business ls suspended. The last touches hare been made to the Coliseum building, and lt is far superior to the former o.ie. Great crowds, including people from all parts of the country, are In the vici? nity, attracted by curiosity. The grand chorus assembled for the first tim? In the Coliseum this morning, assumed the, seats assigned to them for the Jubilee, and rehearsed the pro? gramme of this afternoon's concert. Cari Zerrahn, Herr Strauss, Franz At>t and Gil? more, in turn, assumed the baton. The Pirat rx*t'? Programme. Tt will be seen by the above dispatches that the tremendous enterprise, over *vhlch little Boston and little Mr. Gilmore have gone well nigh crazy, has begun under the most auspi? cious circumstances, and with a favorable aug? ury of a success proportionate to the size of the undertaking. The final preparations for the affair and the programme of the first day's concert are described as follows by a Boston correspondent of the World: The lime ls now drawing near when the walls of the Coliseum shall resound with the mush al enormity ot the Peace Jubilee-that hypertrophy of sweet Bound-that elephantia? sis of tone. The painters are doing their best, and are making the building a sight which, to the New England mind, is "truly Inspiring," and by the time next week shall nave arrived. Mr. Roeth, tbe great decorator, will have done his utmost to make the structure bright and decorous, and flint, as the Frenchman said of Napoleon's tomb, with the "grand, the sub? lime and the proper." The celling of the re- i ceptiou room ls. receiving its white cloth, 1 which will be frescoed; the floor of the parquet i will Boon be planed and polished till it shines I like a barn door, or like tue face of a regene? rated esoteric philosopher chanting orphic rhymes, and, to crown all, Dr. Willcox will gratuitously Introduce in the great organ : the megalophonia slop to drown the poor lillie vox humana and vox coelestls. The whole af lair will be conducted on strictly temperance principles, so far as the welting of whistles ls concerned, and at the Coliseum not one drop of ale, wine, or liquor ol any degree of ardor will be sold, save only lager beer, which the foreign musicians must have or die. The 1 notion of having liquor exclusively for < foreigners ls one of those amiable pieces of I humbug of which the Bostones? are BO eml- i aently capable. The dark and mysterious I bourbon and rum will not, however, be walled I up, aod ns of old men-even strangers-may : with safety attempt to explore them. It is l supposed that the Grenadier Guards will ar- ' rive here from fair Albion next week, and Brltlsh-born residents have already set about ta make arrangements to give them a graud reception. It will be a flue affair, aud lt ls rumored that some of the Harvard boys think of challenging the band to an International musical regatta tobe blown and sailed on the Charles River. These Britishers must be beaten In some way and-best of all ways-on Amerlcan'soll. The band Balled from Queens? town, in the City of Brussels, on Friday last, and will have ample time to brush np its mu? sical and aquatic knowledge on the trip. The Prussian band will room at the Lancas? ter House and the Marine band at the Quincy House. SHU everybody is os busy as a nailer rehearsing. Last night the Boston Club had a mass rehearsal In Music Hall, whero Professor Tonrjee directed it. On Thursday the Handel and Haydn Society, the West Roxbury Union, the Lynn Choral Union, and the Salem Orato? rio will show In Music Hali a Jubilee apprecia? tion of "Israel In Egypt." New Yorkers will doubtless be overjoyed to bear that all the lesilval bands will visit New York when the Jubilee has snag and blown and twanged Itself out of breath, wind, muscle and patience. The eeries of monster concerts which Mr. Gilmore has planned opens on Monday with a remarkable programme, as follows: Prayer by Rev. Phillips Brooks. Address of Welcome by lion. William Gaston, Mayor of Boston. Address by General Nathaniel P. Banks. Subject: "The Day and the Occasion." IL Grand Choral (Old Hundred).....Franc To be produced ey full chorus of 20, ooo voices, great organ grand orchestra aod military baud, as follows: Organ prelude, ist verse pp, with orchestral accompaniment only; '?a verse, ff, all the voicer and Instruments combined. 2.

Snng as follows : First verse by "Buquet or Ar lists;" second verse, full choras of2u,0uo voices; remaining verses by lull chorus, orchestra and military bands, and the audience 1B requested to Join in the same. It would seem from this that most of the special features of the Jubilee ure lo be pre? sented at once, which is a great Improvement on the previous festival. ANOTHER "ACCIDENT." PAXTON, ILLINOIS, June 17. A construction trula on the Lafayette, Bloomington and Mississippi Railroad was wrecked near this place this morning, and seven men were killed and twenty-five injured. The train consisted of two platform cars and one box car. and was being pushed by the locomotive. The car In front was new and light, and ls supposed to have Jumped the track. TBE GENEVA TRIBUNAL. Both Governments Fighting- Shy-The English Agent Decline? to Present the British Cage, and Pleads for an Ad? journment. GENEVA, June 17. The question of adjournment will occupy the tribunal to-day, and probably longer, as the arguments can only be heard to-day. and the delicate issues Involved will not be deter? mined hastily. The English case was not pre? sented Saturday. The American argument was presented to the courela an octavo vol? ume of six or seven hundred pages, with a smaller supplementary volume printed only in the English language, and tbe American agent declared himself ready to proceed. Tne English agent failed to comply with the stipulated formality of presenting papers, and simply asked for an adjournment in order that the governments might have a further opportunity to endeavor to reconcile their differences on one main point at Issue, but he did not ask lor an adjournment tor a fixed period or definite number of months. The Americans answered that the request of an adjournment without the presentation of final papers was not according to the procedure laid down In the treaty, and that they found th?mseives in the presence of an eventuality not contemplated by their Instructions. They hoped, therelore, that the tribunal would not decide without giving them an opportunity to refer the subject by telegraph to the United States Government, inasmuch as the whole legal ground upon which the tribunal stands is a comparatively unexplored region, the exact character?and power of the arbitrators not being well defined, and the scope and limit of their power being undetermined. It wjs Judged wise to accept this proposition, and Munday was fixed os the day upon which the couosel should present, in the light Of their latest advices from the two governments, their argumenta upon the point (resented by the English Government. It thus becomes apparent that neither government has thought It sate to trust Its case altogether to KB agents here,.but each keeps up such constant com? munication by telegraph that in fact the real agent for EnglAd ls Earl Granville, and for America Secretary Fish. As the English representatives have uncompromis? ingly adhered to their determination not to present their papers, lt is but natural to sup pose that the Americans will also adhere to their views that the English are ' not properly In court, and that they uuk,the court to wan? der from Its juridiction on* a point tor which the treaty makes no.provision. Il the English Insist that they are properly In court an Im? portant consequence will follow, for If they are In court they are bound to recognize the validity of Its judgments, no matter upon what point. It ls possible, therefore, that they may suddenly Cud themselves involved In a posi? tion from which they could not escape with? out flagrant disregard of diplomatic propriety and disrespect to the tribunal. The proceed? ings on Monday will, however, depend entire? ly on the latest dispatches irom Earl Granvlllo to the English agent. The Americans are fully Instructed as to every step, but the Eng? lish are drilling, and lt Is impossible to say with what result. They are availing them? selves ol every chance io ascertain the temper of the court and how far the Americans will go In conceding lenglh ol time on the adjourn? ment. BARNUM'S MENAGERIE LOOSE. Clona and Tigers Wrecked at Midnight | ona Railroad Tra tn-Tue Roar of the Wild Beasts-How they were Sllp nooaed and Recaptured. [From the vi tus wno flourier.] As the great Birnuru's Bhow was leaving Erie on Saturday moi'utng, en route to Corry, one ot' tlie trains drawn by two engines was thrown from the track, and both locomotives and several cars were precipitated down ihe bank, the two former Imbedded in tho earth, while the latter were complete^ received a lrTC?y,tBn*a?rfig*' up.*" The lions roared, the monKeys chattered, parrots screamed, the great rhinoceros snorted and bawled, while the less ferocious animals, like the giraffe and eland, shrank trembling into corners, refusing to recognize the caresses of their keepers, j Acrobats and equestrians executed feats ot agility never attempted in the sawdust ring. Booie of them going through ihe car windows lu their eagerne-s to escape. Melvlth execu? ted a pirouette on his head, while Lazelle and Wilson gave an exhibition of th-ir skill on the "flying" trapeze, unequalled for rapidity lo HB execution. Don Costello thought that tho lunnlest thing lie could say was that "absence of body is belier than presence ot mind In this case," and he proceeded to give a practical Illustration of his Idea, while the old periormers involuntarily gave an exhibi? tion of ground and lofty tumbling "not set down on the bills." Ben. Lusble, ihe "light? ning" ticket seller, solved a problem in sub? traction, with his usual agility, white Summer? field, his assistant, made "ctiange" with re? freshing rapidity. As the accident happened about two o'clock In ihe morning, and tho night being cloudy and dark, ihe confusion that reigned must be imagined, for it cannot be described It was speedily discovered that a cage con? taining two royal Asiatic lions was among the wreck, and ihe terrified pertormers were not long in ascertaining lhat these two monarchs of the Jung'.e were loose and unharmed. This tact added.to the terror of the scene, and a stampede for safely immediately ensued. Pro? fessor Chat les White, the celebrated Hon tamer, alone remained undismayed, and Im? mediately began perfecting arrangements to secure his pets, u fear, as may be supposed, not easily accomplished. Providing himself with an ordinary rawhide. Professor White advanced toward the spot where the two un? leashed brutes stood glancing ferociously about them, but he had not approached very near to them when he was greeted with a terrine roar Irom the male, which broke the stillness of the night in awful and startling manner. It "meant business," and as the great beast stood erect lashing bis tawny sides with bis fall, lt was evident that for a time at least be was "monarch of all he surveyed." The Utile "kitten" or baby lion partook of the general excitement, and mewed piteously. At limes ihe lioness would seize lt In her mouth and look lurlouely about, as if upon the point of leaping into the darkness in search of a safe retreat, aod lor a time things ' looked squally. The lion lamer, however, was at work, and procuring a stout rope he succeeded In throwing lt over the head of the male lion, and In a few moments he waa se? curely fastened to a tree. The female, how? ever, wlthf a perverseness peculiar to her sex, and perhaps Infuriated by ihe recent loss of two of her "kittens," waB not so tractable and showed light; but Professor White's determin? ed manner' soon brought her lo terms, and si I p-noosl ng the younger one, and slowly draw? ing it Into an empty cage, the mother was in? duced to follow, and tnue were both the fero? cious beasts secured, and all Immediate danger from them was over. The other animals were captured without much trouble, aod at about ten o'clock the show arrived at Corry, where an Immense crowd of people were patiently awaiting their comlBg. It ls at once singular and fortunate that no one waa seriously Injured, nor were any very valuable animals hurt. Four cars, with their content?, were wrecked and many animals let loose, but.lt> is believed that most of them have been recapiured, the lions being the only dangerous ones that were let loose. Great credit Is due to Professor White for his intre? pidity, for had he been less determined, seri? ous loss ot life might have occurred through the ferocity ot the two brutes that had so sud? denly secured their freedom. A LONG AND MEMORABLE REIGN. BOMB. June 17. Yesterday was the twenty-sixih anniversary of the accession ol' Pope Pius IX to the Pon? tifical throne, and the occasion was elaborately celebrated by MB faithful followers.

POETS AND WOMEN. Their Missionen nd Their Privilege. [By Oliver Wendell Bolmes.] A woman, notwithstanding she la the best of listeners, knows her bnelness, and lt Is her business I o please. I don't say that it is. not her business to vote, but I do say that the woman who does not picaseis a false note in the harmonies of nature. She may not have youth or beauty, or even manner; but she must have something in her voice or expres? sion, or both, which lt makes you feel better disposed towards yonr race to look at or listen to. She knows that BB well as we do; and her first question alter yon have been talklngyour soul Into her consciousness is, Did I please ? A woman never forgets her sex. She wonld rather talk with a man than an angel, any day. The less there ls of sex abont a woman, the more she ls to be dreaded. But take a real woman at her best moment?, well dressed enough to be pleased with herself, not so resplendent as to be a show and a sensation, with the varied outside influences that set vibrating the harmonic notes of her nature stirring in the air about her-and what has social lite to compare with one of those vital Interchanges of thought and feeling with ber that make an hour memorable ? What can equal her tact, her delivery, ber subtlety of apprehension, her quickness to feel the changes of temperature as the warm and cool currents of talk blow by turns? At one mo? ment she ls microscopically Intellectual, criti? cal, scrupulous in Judgment as an analyst's balance, and the next as sympathetic as the open rose that sweetens the mind from what? ever quarter it flads its way to her bosom. ' That poets are treated as privileged persons hy their admirers and the educated public can hardly be disputed. That they consider them? selves so there 1B no doubt whatever. On the whole, I do not know so easy a way of shirk? ing nil tbe civil and social an J domestic duties as lo settle it in one's mind that one Is a poet. The number of these persons ls so great that I Hf3os-?g^3rT?veTy?iay dories- Hint "iHuorv,' ti I would be a serious loss to the productive in- f dustry of the country. Hy skirts are clear so I far as others are concerned ol countenancing that form of intellectual opium-eating in which rhvme takes the place of the narcotic. ? little fool that has published a little book full ol little poems or other sputtering tokens of any uneasy condition, how I love you lor the one soft nerve of special sensibility that mus through your exiguous organism, and the one phosphorescent particle In your un? illuminated intelligence. But it you don't leave your spun-sugar confectionery busloess once in a while, and come out among lusty' men-the bristly, pachydermatous fellows that hew out the highways for the material pro? gress ot society, and the broad-shouldered, out-of-door men that fight for ihe great prizes of lire-you will come to think that Ihe spun sugar business lettie chief end ot man, and begin to feel and look as if you felt BB much aoove common people as that personage of I whom Tourgueneff says that "be had the air [ of his own statue erectod by natural sub? scription."

A Slim Gathering oftheDosky Clans the Battery--Conspicuous Absence tbe Prominent Speakers-A Cruel 8 on the Lollypop Venders. The grand Republican mass meeting, whl took place last evening at tbe Battery, v. ?ot a complete and unequivocal success, fact lt was, In many respects, a lamentai failure. The audience did not amount" much In point of numbers, and lt amounted still less In the matter ot enthusiasm. Of t imposing array of speakers announced lor t occasion the most conspicuous were the i sentees. Tbe big guns whose names i peared In capital letters on tbe call bad been suddenly called away to attend to i portant business in the Interior, or had be smitten with various physical complaints 1 cldental to the season. Thus General Wo? lng ton was reported as suffering under an i ! tack ol the mumps, Juage willard had gone see a man In ?rangeburg, Hr. secretary State Car do zo had been called away to educational meeting, the Bev. B. H. Cain w troubled with falling sickness, and Jud Wright was immersed In the study of histoi However, the deficiency In the number sneakers was amply compensated by the li posing roll of vice-presidents, who were elei edon the pleasant mutual admiration BJ tem ot all the auditors nominating eaoh otb to this highly honorable and ornament position. This secured harmony in the asset blage, and the presence of the Chi cora Bal added a reasonable degree of enthusiast The band appealed directly to the feelings tbe audience, and animated them to many i Impulsive feat of terpsichorean agility, so th the occasion after all was really a jolly ai comfortable one as an extemporaneous proi enade concert with double shuffle variation but as a mass meeting for tbe purpose of sa lng the country, lt was a fizzle. Once in *w mle, when the Chlcora Band would let fly particularly vicious fantasia, it would exel the audience to a soul-stirrlog and bodl shaking pitch of saltatory gymnastics, uni the more enthusiastic of the audience con only do Justice to the subject by a a ucee ask of double-jointed band-springs and wonderfu ty complicated somersaults ; bot the subllmei flights of rhetoric of which our eloquente: Mayor disburdened himself, were met by h listeners with heroic fortitude, and Wltl out the movement of a muscle. Ever body enjoyed the meeting except, pe haps, ' the gingerbread merchants. The looked sad, and some of .them even went s far as to express the unreserved' opinion thc the grand mass meeting was a delusion and snare. One good-looking, dark complexioi ed, Herculean-framed chap, who resemble Generel Whipper .after his draw-poker ? counter with Ml nott in Columbia, Interviewe bur reporter, and explained the cause of hi downcast expression. "See yah," he said, 1 done brought down yere candy and goobel and Barsprllla nun* for touBand people, an dere ain't two hundred yere, and dey ain't n 'count feliows any way." The meeting was announced fer tbre o'clock, and got to work at fonr. The vari ous committeemen and the Chlcora Band 01 ?artoiafti^^ aafleac ia various portions of the grounds. Some c them, In fact, were lounging on the easter sea wall half a mlle away. These did nc seem to take much interest in the proceed ings, but they must have been counted In tn above estimate to make up the two hundred so they must be considered as belongil to the audience. The band played "Conn ye Disconsolate," and then Major M. B. Delan; called the meeting to order, and nominate) Alexander Williams for chairman. This wa carried, and then began the election of the va rlous members of the audience as vice pres! dents. If the audience had been larger tbi might have got tedious, but as lt was, it did no take more than half an hour to elect them all The proceedings were then opened wltb pray e by the Bev. E. J. Adams, after which the let ter of Major Delany and others to Judgi Willard, and the Judge's reply thereto, botl of which have been already published In Tm NEWS, were read and received with applause Tbe chairman then Introduced ex-Mayor Pilis i bury, who read a long speech, full of gooc phrases and glittering generalities, that ap peared to fill in the time, to the satisfaction o alf concerned, but which, like an auctioneer'/ catalogue, would be almost "too tedious u [ mention." He extolled Judge Willard, and I warmly advocated his claims to the r?gulai nomination as Governor, but be was vague and non-committal as to his platform, and bad little or nothing to say against the misdeeds ol the present State administration; Major De. lany, Mr. Adams and other speakers followed, and "the shades of night were falling fast' when the shady crowd disbanded. "WATER-PURE WATER." TO THE EDITOR OF TBE SEWS. Let us bave it, and In profusion; the objec? tion to the tapping of the upper Edlsto by tbe few rice planters, at its outlet, notwithstand? ing. The tapping of the Edlsto," at the point pro? posed, will not ruin their lands. It may (or may not) have the effect of ren? dering them less available for rice culture, but lt will enhance their availability for the culture ef the doest cottons, lor sugar-cane, and for provisions of all kinds. Moreover, there are thousands of acres of rich swamps and bottoms, upon that noble river, around and above "Wllltown," that are now so liable to overflow as to be unfit for any agricultural purposes. Tirase areas will be enhanced an hundred-fold In value by tbe pro? posed depletion of the upper Edlsto. While, therefore, the region near the ocean may be rendered less safe for the culture o? rice, (a culture most certainly on tbe wane in Carolina,) that very region will obtain greater facilities for the cultivation o? all other cereals, and of tbe great Btaple of the country. The vast "Pon Pon Lands" will be made to bloom and blossom. Where the swampy prairie now only can be seen, corn-fields will laugh and sing; the healthiness of the whole region will be vasily improved, and the State, or body politic, will be a large gainer by the adoption of the proposed measure-a measure ol vital Importance to the metropolis of our beloved Slate.

The following is a bri ei synopsis ol the state* ment of area and condition o? Ute present cot? ton crop, which will appear in the Jana report of the department ol agriculture : ^ AD Increase in the cotton area ls reported Ia every State. A very small proportion ot coun? ty returns show a decrease of acreage. Planting was generally retarded,by a protract? ed season of drought, and rle.ds that were planted late occasioned some tron?le la obtaining perfect stands, bnt the recent rains and renewed efforts in replanting have finally, secured ; stands; .-af j Average completeness. The percentage of increase la area-last year's crop being tbe basis of comparison-ls as follows: North Carolina, sixteen; South Carolina, nine;Georgia, twelve; Florida, ten; Alabama, eleven; Mississippi, ten; Louisiana, eleven; Texas, eighteen; Ar? kansas," sixteen; Tennessee, twelve. The' average Increase throughout the cotton States will aprox?mate thirteen per cent.. Texas has naturally made the largest relative increase, not only in having enjoyed a favorable season tor planting, but also during the last year hav? ing received accessions of emigrants who are cotton planters. The condition ot the plant throughout the cotton section is very nearly a full average. Separating the Atlantic lrom the more Western States, the' former stand a little below - the average; tho latter are fully up to the standard. of fair condition. The drought which prevailed ia April and the first half of May delayed growth, and cold nights in the more northern belt bad a further retarding effect, bot the abundant rains and genial temperature which followed have.wonderfully Invigorated and advanced, the crop. Tho following figures represent the condition of cotton In the several States, one hundred standing for an average: North Oar-, olino, ninety-six; South Carolina, ' ninety-two; Georgia, ninety-six; Florida, ninety-five; Ala? bama, one hundred and. five; MisslealppL, ODO hundred; Louisiana, one hundred and four; Texas, one hundred: Arkansas, ninety-eight; Tennessee, one hundred and one. _JBatntft.
