Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A OO., No. 19 Broad street, Charleston, S. C. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1872. SEWS OE TBE DAT. -Water lilies, of the same family as the Egyptian lotus, were recently discovered on the upper Mississippi. -A model of the temple of Solomon ls to be one of the attractions at the Vienna Exhl bltlon. -The chief topics now under discussion In England are, how to economize coal, cheapen meat and provide a substitute for potatoes. -Texas claims that the oysters on her coasts are the finest in the world, and predicts that J the oyster trade will soon become one ol the J most Important Industries In the Slate. -There are twin sisters in Mobile, Ala., so much alike that when recently one of them commuted an offence, the officer Bent to ar? rest her oonld. not tell for which the warrant was Intended. -Paper ls now found to be applicable to the arts of wat. Cuirasses which will turn the stroke of a sword, thrust of a bayonet, or the Impact of a ritie bf ill, are now made of this material, and the Inventor claims it will furnish a plating lor war vessels of greater power of resistance than plating of iron. -An apparatus has been lately introduced Into English carriages, by means of which a lady inside may communicate wllh the coach- j man without opening the carriage windows. It consist ot a bandle with a dial, by moving which a similar apparatus on the dash-board _Ja acted on. By this means the driver may ^Pve directed when to stop, which way to turn, and similar messages, without letting dowu the carriage windows. ..?-The great rope walker, Blondio, whose Jests at Niagara some years since will be re? membered, appeared at the Sydenham Crys? tal Palace the other day, walking a rope five hundred feet long' and eighty feet from the ground, clad in a heavy armor. Although a high wind was blowing, he was daring enough to walk the rope blindfolded, afterward in a sack, than with his agent on his shoulders, capping the wbole by cooking an omelette poised on the middle of the rope. : -The London Times, in connection with the recent attempt to swim across the English channel, says: '-Tradition affirms that some seventy years ago, three men convicted of a J political offence, to escape punishment, swam from Calais to Dover. One was drowned, the Other two landed on the beach, one in an utter state of exhaustion, from which he died; the third recovered and lived in the town for several years." The distance across the chan? nel from Dover to Calais is about twenty-two ^ miles, bot the current would probably nearly double the distance for a swimmer. -The Typographical Union of ?New York bas made a decided move In withdrawing from "The Work logmen's Union," which or? ganization lately adopted a resolution making j lt obligatory on all members to pay twenty, ive cents a week during a strike by any set of workingmen. This direst tax on Industry to ?apport indolence the printers bave deter? mined not to pay under any consideration, and their secession from the union has given both labor and capital a fair insight into the arbi? trary practices of an organization which un? justly taxes the very men lt professes to pro? tect In their JuBt rights and privileges, pj -It Is agreed by the New Fork press of all ?hades of politics that the great Liberal meet? ing of Thursday night was the largest beld In . that city since the memorable meeting ol April, 1861. Every foot of Union Fquare was thronged. The crowds were of course thickest | ?hoot the speakers' stands, where they listened j in perfect silence, broken only by applause. Bat even beyond the reach ot the speakers' voices tbe dense masses stood packed, cheer? ing the flags, the processions, the fire-works and the louder bursts ot oratory. It was not an ordinary mass meeting. Ii was a rendez? vous of the people of New York. No less than seven meetings were In progress al once, densely attended and addressed by stirring and popular speakers. It was one ol those enormous demonstrations which are not pos? sible except to winning causes. -The Baltlmoreans now seem to think that the heavy failures In that city will not result BB disastrously to business Interests there as j waa feared. It ls admitted that, lor a brlel season, the aggregate of bank deposits will! be diminished; but, at ihe same time, lt ls con? ceded that the bank accommodations, though temporarily lessened in volume, will be more [ equally diffused through all the avenues of trade, and will be diverted iato healthier 1 channels. Tbe Gazette says that it bas been well known, for a long time past, that the great mercantile bouse of Kirkland, Chase & Co.-whose business transactions amounted to from twelve to thirteen millions of dollars R year-together with the houses with which, in commercial matters, lt was more or less affiliated, has been carrying a heavy load of indebtedness; that ita borrowed and lent ac? count was enormous, and that Its dally re? quirements, and the necessity of meeting them, absorbed large sums of money which would otherwise have been available in promoting the general business Interests o? the city. -Tbe New York detectives assert that they | have some o? tbe properly which was stolen from Mr. Nathan's house, and which they got ] from a man who received it from Forrester. The person who delivered the property was to have been arrested as a principal in the mur? der, bat was promised immunity on his pledge that he would give full testimony against For? rester. Tbe police add that they know the man in whose boase, la Mercer street, Forres? ter was on the day before and the day after the murder. Forrester, they say, was aided by him to escape to Westchester County. It ls said that on tbe night of the murder of Na? than a prominent sporting man saw an indi? vidual in the vicinity of Nathan's house j Whose movements were very suspicious. He watched bim, and presently two men came down the steps of tbe j Nathan mansion, who were Joined by the j mysterious man, the three going toward the j North River. Early the next forenoon three j men entered a saloon on Eighth avenue and left a bondie, which proved tc be a bloody j shirt. On Investigation it was lound that a woman up town had washed this shirt (which was a peculiar one) for a man now in the Con? necticut State prison, who was a pal of For? rester's. The sporting man above referred to identified at once the picture of Forrester os that of the man he saw io the vicinity of Na? than's house. Next Wednesday, George Ellis, now confined In the State prison, will be brought here, and will testify that the udog" which was used In murdering Nathan was stolen from Schenck's house by Forrester and himself, and that both used lt in various burg? laries. The Duty of the Hoar. It is said that in some counties, where no Democratic ticket is in the field, the Repub? licans have offered to nominate Conserva? tives ot high position and ripe ability amongst their candidates for the State Legislature. The character of the State Government is mainly determined by the character of tbe legisla?v? department. A score of brave and able men, in the Se?ale and House, would have made the plundering and perjuring of the past four years next to Ira I possible. With a good Legislature, no Gov? ernor or Treasurer is potent for serious harm. Without a good Legislature, neither Moses and Melton nor Tomlinson and Greene can give practical shape to the fair promises which are their only political capital. No pains, in obtaining a better class of repre? sentatives, will be thrown away. Each fear? less and capable member will be of inesti? mable service to the people. These are oar convictions, and we, there? fore, express the hope that no citizen will allow any squeamishness ns to the demerits of the rival factions, or any pressure of pri? vate afiairs, to prevent him from accepting a nomination as member of the Legislature ef the State. The duly will be irksome, and the companionship unpleasant, bat there is as much patriotism shown, and as much glory woD, io surrendering prejudice and comfort as in shedding blood in battle. Of those to whom much has been given, much is demanded. South Carolina expects every man to do his duty. The Interest on the etty Debt? The City Treasurer, Mr. P. J. Coogan, gives notice that "the time provided by or? dinance as necessary to prepare the City "Stock Department * * for the payment "of interest due on Ihe 1st of October being "now absorbed" by the extension of time for the payment of city taxes, "the interest "cannot be jmid before the \bth of next "month, if so soon." Because the City Coun? cil have granted the taxpayers an indul? gence of fifteen days, the creditors of the city must wait fifteen days, at least, for their anxiously expected money. This, it would seem, caa only be explained in one of two ways. The city has not, until the taxes are received, money enough to pay the in* terrel ; or there is not a sufficient clerical force in ihe Treasurer's office to allow of carrying on, nt the eame time, the receiving of taxes aud the preparation of the dividend ledgers. The last named difficulty should be easily overcome; aud the first does not appear to be insuperable. The Mayor and Council are earnestly de? sirous of restoring and maintaining the credit of the city. They levy and collect taxes sufficient to enable them to meet every public obligation, and in this policy they have the support of the tbioking pub? lic. It must strike them that, if a city offi? cer is allowed or authorized to postpone for fifteen days, or more, the payment of inter? est on the municipal debt, a new element comes into play which causes the city to lose at one end what is gained at the other. The holders or city securities ore promised their interest on a certaia day. Many of them have no other means of sapport than is found in that interest When it is not paid punctually they suffer severe priva? tions, or must borrow, perhaps at heavy cost, a pittance to keep body and soul together until the city is ready to meet ils engagements. There is, besides, the large class of permanent investors who, knowing the laudable purposes of the administration, are tempted to buy city stock at ita present low price. These are repelled by the fear that the interest may not be paid for fifteen days after it is due, "if so soon ;" and those who would hold the stock, and so stiffen the quotations, are tempted to get rid of it and take something which pays promptly if it does pay less. If the city were compelled to suspend the payment of interest by causes beyond con? trol, we should not add to the difficulties of the situation by clamoring for impossibili? ties. But the city can pay, and is going to pay ; and we believe thal it is sound econ? omy to make arrangements to pay the in? terest, without fall, on the day that it falls due. .We trust that the Mayor and Council will give Ihe matter their immediate atten? tion. The Poems and Life of the Late Henry Tl m rod. A complete edition of Timrod's Poems, wilb an interesting Biography by Paul H. Uayne, Esq., will be issued about the 1st of December next, from the lina of ?. J. Hale & Son, New York. The work will be published by subscrip? tion, and an active canvasser has, we under stand, been already engaged for this etty. It seemB hardly necessary to urge upon our community the claims of such a writer as Henry Tlmrod. H9 was a maj of deli? cate yet vigorous genius, of high culture as an artist, and, more than ail, he was a genuine patriot, in whose verse the fame of our South is embalmed forever. I For this reasoD, if for no other, let our people sbow that they appreciate bis ser? vices, and ara determined to reward them. Although the poet himself has passed from earth, his widow and aleler still sur? vive; but in circumstances so straightened that ALL the proceeds of the present edition of his works (should the edition prove a success) will be given to them. Impoverished as so many of the citizens of Charleston are, they will not hesitate, we trust-, to extend their aid in a case which appeals at once to their sympathies and Thc Old Catholic Movement. 1 The faot that Rev. Dr. Whittingham, the Episcopal bishop of Maryland has, by invita? tion, gone to Germany to take part in the deliberations of the "Old Catholics" at the conference to be held at Cologne, this month, excites discussion. The Old Catholics, so called, while adhering largely to the doctrines of the Church of Rome, deny the Infallibility of the Roman Pontiff, and also his supremacy over other bishops, thereby occupying some? what the same ground as the Anglican Church. This explains why Bishop Whittingham and other bishops of the Episcopal Church have been invited to co-operate with them. It ls stated that one or two of the English bishops will attend the conference as lookers-on; act? ing under instructions to watch any opportu? nity that may be presented "to promote the "cause of unity" without sacrificing tho faith or doctrines ol the churches lrom which they are accredited. The Evangelical parly In England, and In this country, Beem to appre? hend danger from this movement, and show some Jealousy of the High Church party in this connection. If the Old Catholics desire to unite with the Episcopal Church, they say, the way Is open to them at all times, without compromise or conditions; hence they cannot recognize the necessity of any formal nego? tiations with them at their conference at Cologne. They fear that the English and American bishops, In their aspirations after Christian unity, may be persuaded to pledge themselves to a lowering of the Anglican standard on some essential point of doctrine in order to make the road easy lor the Old Catholics-wholly In conflict with their Pro? testant character. As the Old Catholics Billi adhere to the confessional, the doctrine of penance and other doctrines repugnant to the Evangelicals, the latter seem to think that unity with them means a half-way step to Rome. On the whole, lt seems probable that these suspicions and misgivings will prevent any practical co-operation between the Episco? palians and the "Old Catholics." Palestine. I The Jewish Tintes bears important testi? mony as to the manner in which the Hebrew people now regard the land of Palestine. There has been a loosening of old iles, a dis? carding of old beliefs, among them, and they no longer stand ready at any moment to go as pilgrims into that land. The hope o? an ultimate restoration has died ont. The lime was when all their property was portable, such as at short warning could be sold. At present lhere ls no hesitation among them in Investing In real estate. Three prominent Israelites-Professor Gratz and Messrs. Levy Polzln and Gottschalk-have Just returned from the Holy Land, and, says the Times, their report ls "an additional argument "against the folly ol encouraging the emigra? tion of the Jews lo a country which has no "other claim than that of a valuable inonu "ment of the past." There are now about sixteen thousand Israelites living in Palestine, and "their average state of culture ls much "below that of their fellow-religionists in "Europe. They have no visible means of Bup "port, and spend their lime In Idleness, pray "lng and Talmud reading." The report further suggests "the general elimination from all "Jewish prayer-books of the portions refer? eing to the hopes of Israel In the restitu? tion of the Holy Land to the possession of "Israel, and the rebuilding ol the temple by "the Divine Providence." On the other baud, four hundred rabbis have rendered a decision that the omission of the prayer for the advent of the Messiah and the restoration of the sacrifices would be equivalent to a denial of the faith._ TUe Great Vienna Exhibition. The approaching exhibition lo Vienna will be held in the Prater. It will open on the first ol May, 1873, and close on the thirty-first of October In the same year. In Europe the greatest interest ls manifested in this exhibi? tion, and the amount ot goods Bent lrom the East, also, will be the largest that has ever been seen, even at ?he great fairs of Russia. Hitherto these exhibitions have been held only In the great western capitals. Vienna, however, lying between the East and West, has beyond her, lo the Immediate eastward, a population of twenty-four millions. Looking back upon the mighty results which have ac? crued from the International Exhibitions of ISM, 1855, 1862 and 1867, the Immense Influx of strangers from far and near, the widened sympathies, the assimilation of Ideas and of foreign languages which resulted from them, lt will be easy to conceive that the effects on the East of an exhibition of tills kind In the Austrian capital can hardly fall lo be much greater, even, than those realized in England and France. Hitherto sympathy with this ex? hibition has been rather lacking, lt would seem, in America and England, and yet the I interests ol the two countries are deeply in? volved. There Is yet a vast market to be opened in European Turkey alone lor agri? cultural Implements, machinery of all kinds, cheap clothe, hardware, and many other British and American manufactures, and en? terprising capitalists would do well to direct their attention to the matter. New Books. DOCTOR VANDYKE. A Novel. By Joo. Esten Cooke. Author ot the Virginia Comedians, Ac. D. Appleton & Co. Charleston: Holmes's Book House and Fogarile's Depository. This ls a well-conceived Btory of colonial life In Virginia; the Incidents are striking and the Interest Is well maintained. What Matthew Arnold would call the "Journeyman work" of the book ls poorly done, and the words put in the mouths of some ol the characters fit them as well as a dame's farthingale would a hoy? den of sixteen. Dr. Vandyke, the principal character, ls vigorously sketched, but for so wise and self-contained a mun he talks puro drivel. It is an attractive novel all the same.
