Uni versal Crime-Terri? ble Statistics Given by English Oi nolals-British Knie tn India. The Central Provinces reports for 1870 sop- ? ply. the annexed account lu regard to the prevalence or Infanticide Lu that country: regular village visitation was Instituted, and evidence taken as to the proportion of boys and girls, and some other necessary tacts. One magistrate reports having visited ninety-1 nine Tillages, Inhabited by a olan whose head ls the Rajah of Amorha. ?ighty-slx of the vll lagea were "suspected." In seven villages in? habited by one caste, there were one hundred and four boys and only one girl, and that one giri had probably been saved by being brought np In ter mother's family, altogether apart from ber father. 1 he Baboos of Asogpoor had twenty boys, and "no girl bas ever been married from among them." In ten villages of another caste there was not one giri, and In another ten l,a marriage of a girl ls au un? known ceremony." Nearly ail the families of ] the Baboos'and Kours practice the crime, with tho exception of Luckmunpore, who bad twenty boys and twenty-one girls-a most honorable exception where murder ls tbe rullDg social law. In one village in Oodeybore, a venerable pundit said: "I have lived near the place both man and boy, olose on eighty years, and I nerer saw a marriage in lt." In some dis? tricts there has been considerable improve? ment. The lieutenant-governor, lu referring j to the Agra district, said : "In 1840 only three female infants among the gouty clans sur? vived their birth; in 1841 there were fourteen; In 18*2 there were twenty-eight, and lu 1865 there were 438, about 44 per cent, ol the child population. . I could give you a very large number of Instances from these reports, both as to the crime and the great change that has bee a brought about byan indefatigable body of officials acting under enlightened and pym- j pathiziDg chiefs.- Here Is one answer, at all events, to those who tell us; that English rule is doing notMng for India, There is no doubt that we are falling lu many respects, and lu Borne where tbe East India Company succeed ed ; Qnt; lhere are certainly some particulars lu which British power is enrolled In the service o? cftUif?Uon.'? . JOTTINGS ABOUT THE STATE. -J. C Wlnsmlthj Esq., bas assumed edito- j rial control o? the Carolina New Era, publish? ed at Spartanburg. -Joseph Bradford, colored, was accidental? ly shot and killed by James Branson, colored, at Goshen Plantation, near Bradford Springs, on Saturday ? afternoon last. The pair were bunting squirrels at the time. -Hr. E. M. Seabrook bag been appointed registrar in bankruptcy for the First Con? gress I rJaal District, and also United Slates commissioner, with headquarters at Sumter, 8. C. . ^Tbe Klngstree Star says r "The gin-house I and .appurtenances belonging to Hr. W. H. Kennedy was destroyed Dy Ure on Tuesday night, tho 22d ult. Mr. Kennedy was absent In Charleston at the time of the occurrence. [ We are informed thatr.bout bair after eight o'clock Mrs. Kennedy discovered a light at the gid-houae, and Immediately sent a servant j to inform Mr. Kennedy's clerks who were! sleeping lu his store near by, but bet?re they could be aroused the fire ' became unmanage? able. Hr. Kennedy is satisfied that the house wae-set on fire, as tracks were discovered leading from the building. He estimates his loss atone thonaand dollars. He offers a re? ward for proof to convict the incendiaries." . CHINESE POLITICS. A. recent writer In a German newspaper gives the following particulars ot the present condition ol affairs in China: . The emperor Is yet a minor In years, and the Slate la go verned by a regency, of which Prince Kung la the head. The empress-mother ls described as an able, energetic and ambi? tious woman, who ls also of the regency. The present issue at court la between Prince Kuog and the empress-mother. The former and his party wishes the young emperor to be pro? claimed of age OD tbe occasion ot bis ap? proaching marriage, and that he should then assume ine goverument in person. It is said the boy emperor is disposed to cultivate friend? ly relations with foreign powers, and Prince .Kimg supports the cl elm OJ the foreign diplo? matists to be allowed direct and personal com manh&tlon with the sovereign. Ic is sug? gested th st the' regent ls anxious to nd himselfoftherespoixsibirtyofihe Begenoy, particularly "In view of the hostility of the party of the impresa, who proposes to i keep toe Emperor , a minor two years - longer, during..which time he must remain under maternal tutelage. She ls represented as extremely anxious lest she should, loee her po vi er and Influence the moment she gave up .theTeins of government. She baa been able to defeat any .action by the regency on the question.oT admitting foreign ambassadors to the Emperor's presence, by ha v lo g ic post? poned tor decision by the Emperor wh?n be IB admitted of age. This question, which di? vides the Chinese Government ut this time, ls ona which In past time has agitated various European cou-ts. The mother ol Louis XIV 0046X1001: to continue her authority over the boy king, as did Catharine de MediciB over ber three sons, who successively, were Kings ot France, Bat the Kmperor Ot China is not likely to prove a Louis XIV; be ls represented to be a mere child as far as menial develop? ment and worldly knowledge ls concerned; he ls fond o? floe clothes ano theatrical page? antry, in which matters he is gratified by bis mother.. ' The same correspondent describes the pro? gress ra ade la military matters by the Chinese. A.large intrenched camp between Tientsin and Taku Is to be provided with six huge Krupp guns which have., been received from Europe. A new fort is building at the mouth ot the river south ot Taku, and a gunboat is stationed at the same point.- The troops are employed making roads facilitating commu? nication. The sailors of the navy are drilled tn the use of the Remington rifle. Altogether, such preparations for defence have been made that the capture ot Pekin hereafter will be more difficult than lt was when first at-1 tempted. _ THE LOTUS CLUB. Club life, especially that patronized by lite? rary and artistic . people, flourishes almost as weil lu New York as ll does lu that city of clubs, London. One of the most popular clubs, after the venerable "Century" and the gnat political "Union League," ls the "Lo tus," which oocnplesa modest brick bouse on Irring Place, next door to the Academy of Music. Mr. Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune, ls the president.. The walls are lined with por? traits of famous men and women of all ages, an autograph portrait ot Marie Seebacb occu? pying the position of honor. The faces ol Booth, waUack, Shakespeare, Kellogg, and scores of others are seen. In a glass case there ls j a photograph of Stanley in the costume he wore wben he met Livingstone; in another glas? case a blt of broken china from tbe cimp-chest of ' Maximilian, the unfortunate Emperor of. Mexico.. On the mantel in the " reading room a Targe piece or gold quartz at? tracts attention as the gift ot Joaquin Miller. The Lotus Club from all accounts is not ex? actly as moral an institution as lt might be. It I has-a par, a reading saloon, a room full ot tables for card-playing, a Bult of parlors with a grand plano, a picture gallery, a llbrary.?c, Ac The servants wear a handsome uniform ot dark blue and silver. Its crowning glory appears to be numerous oil paintings ot ie males, who look as If they were about to go on the stage in one of Lydia Thompson's burlesques. NEW TORR VEGETABLE MARKET. The Dally Bulletin of Wednesday, October 30, eave: Tbe market for rouod potatoes is almost nominal. All tbe docks and freight depots are filled with Btock, which cannot be moved. When this large supply comes to be thrown on the marker, lt ls probable a momentary de? onne will take place In prices. Sweets are in fair request, and held a shade firmer, though but little can be done, owing to scarcity of J I horses and carls. Our quotations for potatoes are lo bulk; In shipping order 50c. per barrel mno are now using lt in the city. Ia more brilliant than Kerosene, Lighthouse or other Explosive Oils now in use.
