NEWS OF THE I*A T. -The horse.maiady is in Pensacola, Florida; the street cars have stopped ?uuclng. -A suit ls to be Instituted at Salt Lake against the alleged diamond tie'.* swindlers. -Woodhull and Claflln have been released on $2500 ball. -Judge Nelson, of the United States Su? preme Court, has resigned. -The stokers ol live of the London gas companies have struck, and the public are warned to use gas sparingly. -The suit of Warmou'.h against the custom? house retiring board ls transferred to the United States Court. -The city authorities of Boston have or- j dered the repairs upon the Merchants' Ex ohaoge to be stopped, as the building when repaired would be unsafe. -Tobacco culture will probably become, wilbla a few years, one of the most Important Industries of California. The experimente thia year Io Its production have been remark? ably successful. -The slave trade ls in a more flourishing condition than lt has been for a good* many years. During the last year 20.000 slaves have been experted from the eastern coast of | Africa, and as the great maritime powers of Europe, with the elogie exception of Great Britain, have declined to co-operate with the United States for Its suppression, it seems probable that the trafilo will Increase rather than decrease In the future. -The receipts of the society for the Propa? gation ol the faith al Rome for the year 1871 were $1.004,175, of which all but $55,000 was gathered in Europe, France being the largest contributor. During the same period the amount of $1,090,640 waa expended by the society, the total expense of tbe collection and expenditure being only $6335. The Cath? olic Church has certainly learned to do its work with economy. It is a noteworthy fact that Ireland, out of her poverty, gave to tbe | propaganda during the year $23,545, and only took back: $1700, while Scotlana gave only $400, and received back $8000. -When tbe Mikado first appeared to the peopleofYeddo.no one believed lt was he. No, Indeed, they said; our Mikado ls a god; he exists, but cannot be seen by our eyes. Wu. such a thing has never been heard of as the Mikado to go about In the streets. The BOU of heaven walk I ban ' nnrnu?tyi?-Ldcnow- h*u [ -? (BR Aila even when his Majesty went for a | trip to the soulh lo visit his dominion, he ap? peared to the Japanese Ballon In a foreign uniform, half French and halt of other foreign mixture of clothing. And the people be? lieved him to have been sent by the Mikado; but as tothatlorelgn-looklng being to be their Mikado, that they never believed. -Here ls another Boston notion. A great clothing house, employing many women, was nursed ont-wages payable on Monday. The women refused to take their wages for fear tba firm would be embarrassed. The firm then sent to Bora n's Bower and asked Miss Col- j lins to send to them any work girls, whether j heretofore employed or not, who might be in need, and they would provide for them. And they farther advertised that their pay-roll would be made up Monday, as usual, and re? quested their employees to come and take their pay. This ls ihe e d-fashioned grit that brough*;out the apostrophes of Webster, and has turned a rock-bound coast lo a front of villas and factories. It will do. -Gibraltar has for years been sour grapes to Spain. She never looks at Its lrowniog heights, lia formidable fortifications, crowned by an allen flag proudly flaunting in the air, but lt sets her teeth on edge. Year by year the Cortes has to deal with this subject und Boothe the wounded and ever fresh sensitive? ness of the people. It is a kind of "french spoliation claims" affair that lt ls -ver desira? ble to bave settled, but which t iv r gets Bet tied. A Spanish league, bound together by no end of vows, has even been formed, called the "Gibraltar Liberation League," and holds meetings and issues protests and, like a great many congresses, and conventions, and as? semblages, behaves lt s sir as If it was actually of some use In the world. At the present session ot the Cortes, like Its predecessors, a motion has been made to open negotiation with Great Britain for the transfer of this lamons "key to the Mediterranean." -The "Arizona diamond field^windle is a most oruel one to many persons in the Weat. There are reported to be now about three hun? dred men at work in these fields, and numbers are on the way to them. Starting through tho wilderness, meeting very often no one while on the way, the chase after imaginary riches will only terminate when the fields are reached and ihe truth becomes known. One of those who have returned from Arizona disappointed, writes to a Western paper that the first parties he met claimed to be employees ol a company from'San Francisco, styling themselves the "London and Pacific Diamond and Ruby Mining Company." From these parties he received the most flattering encouragement. They informed bim that the atones were found in abundance throughout that section of the country, and displayed to him bushels of the quarta-diamond, and quan? tities of the emeralds and supposed rubles, besides some beautiful specimens which could not be counterfeits. That a number ot per? sons were engaged In this well-organized j scheme of fraud la obvious. It was shrewdly concocted, and admirably carried out. Now 1 let us hope ihe rogues will quarrel, as they I sometimes do in the Eastern Stares, and then t we will obtain some light on the subject. -Princes and potentates in modern tlmeB ( seem to lall easily into the vanities of com- ( mon life, the only difference being that they carry them somewhat further than ordinary people. The golden wedding of King John I( ol Saxony, and his Queen was a happy affair, t la spite ot Its palpable uselessness and for? mality, and as all royalty immediately Inter? ested seemed to derive immense satisfaction 1 |rom it and nobody else waa Injured, lt ls un- t J5* doubiedly a thing to te hailed with tu; ail on 3. The royal couple published Official Journal thanksgivings to God happy completion of atty years of 1 lile, and devoted a large capital sum, come of which was to be applied to th needy married Saxon couples whet should celebrate their golden we Almost all the royalty ol Germany wt eut, and the ringing of bells and lng of cannon ushered in the bridal at the resplendent hall in the To the right and lett of the altar were placed for the Boyal lamily anc o';lc princely guests, and behind thesi chairs for the Protestant princes. The wore a general's uniform, while the was clad In bridal cost tune, her dress bc moire antique, garnished with gold, that fell in graceful folds a lace and go broldered mantle and a golden myrtle 1 on her brow, beneath which waa a row monds. The bishop and eight assistant ofllclited, and the various trials whict Majesties ba i undergone were referred the sermon. The following question w in the course of the ceremony: "Dc Majesties promise beiore God to remain lui to the indissoluble ties made betwee fllty years ago to the end of your lives, nuptial harmony and mutual assistance God till death you separate?" The Kin Queen loudly and distinctly answered grasping each other's hands. The ceri was then concluded with prayer and a r. cal blessing. The News and Its Defamers. The systematic way in which CHARLESTON NEWS has been Blande? late, by certain Radical politicians, wai a reference to the charges growing out refusal to support ihe malcontent Rai who organized a bolt in the State canv Long before the State Radical Conve was called together it was evident thc Democrats or Conservatives desired to i the complications likely to attend the i nation by them of a full State ticket, view of the protestations of the Rac and their own numerical weakness, Conservatives thought proper to avoid ! nominations, and pursue in each count; policy deemed best calculated to secur largest measure of legislative and loca form. This view was concurred in by NEWS, and no State nominations were m In course of time the Radicals held i convention and nominated a State tk which certainly was very objectionabli the Conservatives. A few Radicals bo! and, in turn, held their convention nominated their candidates. These were the most part the puppets of the bold ms nants who stood behind the scenes-m dangerous to this people than thrice tl number of mere public plunderers. 1 NEWS at once advised that the Conservati should vote for neither the Regular tic nor the Bolting ticket, except where a Li porary alliance with one or the other fact held out the hope of obtaining some chat for the better in the character of local o Hie? At the same time it exp reseed the belief tl the Regulars were quite as honest as the ca ins Bolters: that they were as much in AA est; that they were of necessity more in i cord with the people, and were, for that r< son, tho more likely to be influenced by cc servaiive opinion in their conduct of pub altai rs. This view was manifestly io cont nance with public sentiment, inasmuch the Conservatives, where no local considei Lions intervened, very generally abstain from voting a State ticket. Throughout t carfvass THE NEWS was frank and ot spoken, exercising, as it means always to d its right of independent thought and ind petideut action. Tho coarse of THE NEWS was a bitter p for the Bolters to swallow. It sealed ihe Fate. Impaling to this journal the motivi with which they themselves were mo 'amlliar, they instantly accused it of havin "sold out" to the Regalar Radicals. J plain words, it was charged that THE NB? had been bought, in both the State an County canvass; the main consideration, i alleged, being, In the one case, tho promu ol ihe sheriff's advertising, and, in theothe; the appointment as county advertiser an an exorbitant and fraudulent price for tb advertising ol the laws of the last sessiot Tho answer to the3e charges is: That TH NEWS has always had tho sheriffs advert'u ing, in question, under every administratior for the suificient reason that this paper ha a far larger circulation than any other new; paper published in this county or State that the appointment as county printer wa given to THE NEWS without the solicitation or expectation, or previous knowledge c its proprietors; that tho price to be pail for printing the laws in THE NEWS was tixet by contract many months before either Reg ulara or Bolters were in the Held, and it actually about half the rate paid by pri vate advertisers for Bimilar work. It is oftentimes the lot of vigorous and indepen? dent newspapers to be accused or corrup? tion; and it had not been our custom to give the words of the common slanderer any Factitious weight by condescending to con? tradict them. In this case, however, the charges were so singularly circumstantial that we resolved to ferret oat their author. That being done, their animus would be ap? parent. The investigation set afoot by THE NEWS is at an end, and that investigation ias demonstrated the fact that the imputa .ions upon ils fair fame' were the invention )f the Bolters, based upon no better evi ience than idle gossip and conjecture. They vere smarting under their utter and well leserved defeat. They dared not arraign he Conservative rmisses who had silently epudiated them. So- they sought to vent heir impotent epieea upon THE NEWS with he sole eflect, as the ?record shows, of large ly increasing its circulation and ge prosperity. Looking back upon the events of the five years, we feel that THE NEWS he served well of the Conservative public has been the fearless, and, we hope, ci fee of c'iques and rings; it has const exposed and denounced the frauds short-comings of delinquent and inco tent officiais; it has been the zei and active expositor of the potential vantages of South Carolina as a hon the thrifty immigrant; it has been the tiring advocate of movements lookin, the industrial development of the Sta has discouraged political sedimenta and bas, in season and out of season, borted the people lo have done wit! foolish practice or maimiug one's self to i one's neighbor. How much of labo patience and of money all this has co the public will never know. But NEWS, appealing by its conduct to that ( alrous spirit which has always character the unbought South Carolinian, had a 1 to expect thar, ils counsels, whatever I merit, would be accepted as, at least, d terested and well meant. The slan against THE NEWS, seemiDg to take t gave us exceeding pain, and it gratifie beyond measure to possess tbe assun that the calumnies of which we were t the victim originated with the defeated g or Radical soreheads, whose only prop ls public plunder, and whose capital is t inability to comprehend personal intes io politics and their fish-fog abuse of w ever the people of South Carolina are v to trnst and admira That the attitude or THE NEWS may n< misunderstood by any caviller, we here Unaly say that the charges of direct or direct corruption against it are, from fire last, in letter and in spirit, slanderous false. We publicly defy friend or foe give even the color of proof that the po cal course of THE NEWS, at any time, been prompted by any other motiva tha sincere desire to promote the well-being tbe people of the State. This challenge place on record, and uutil the gauntlel thrown down be taken up, we shall, as h eat men may, put from us any further c 8 id ora Lion of charges to which, perl) a we have attached more weight than tl deserved. And now, having publicly repelled t slanders that we have long borne in silen we feel that we have a right to say to I people, whom we think that we ha served, and whom we know that we lov Believe in our fidelity until men of beti report than we show that we are unwort of your trust. And whatever else may j down, THE CHARLESTON NEWS, which \ have builded up, shall, with or without i live and flourish as the earnest and faith! chuui|it?n ot ?tic ?I?UUJ UUU lUCliTeStS Ol X people of this State. The inaugural Ail dress of Govern M-ea? The inaugural address of Governor Mos is a pretty piece of composition, but it do not contain the terse and lucid declaratic of the financial and economic plans of tl new administration which the public ht reason to expect. Not a word is said of tl general intentions of the Executive as I the fonded and floating debt, and the sui stantial reforms promised in the Rep?blica platform. Governor Moses may not hu\ had time to mature his plans, so as to la before the people, in detail, the programn of bis government. It does seem, howeve that he might have told the people frank what would be the nature of the measure which, later on, he would propose. Tl: Conservative citizens are shy and distrua ful, and while THE NEWS does not share i all their fears, it regrets that the new Qo\ ernor should not have been more explic upon those points which touch the pocket of the people, and in wbicb they have tb deepest concern. Governor Moses promise that he will take an early opportunity i communicating with the Legislature as 1 tbe reforms nod amendments which are coi templated by the spirit and intention of tl platform of his party. We trust that h will do so; for any procrastination wi weaken his influence, and be, besides, a wc blanket Lo those who have confidence in h. integrity of purpose. It is pleasant to be assured that brigbte und better days are in store for us, and itu Governor Moses will always remember th! he represents the whole people of Sout Carolina; but we cannot forget that whs success tbe peoplo bave achieved is due ii ibeir own fortitude and energy, and not t any fair-dealing or justice on the part of th Slate Government. South Carolina is sironge and more prosperous than she was four year ago; nevertheless millions of dollars which under an honest administration of affairs would have remained in the hands of lb people, have, under Radical rule, passed inti tbe coffers of dishonest officials and corrup political adventurers. Radical misgovern meut has cost South Carolina fifteen oi tweoty million dollars; without counting the consequential damages growing out of the withdrawal of capital, the repelling of immi gratioo, and tile encouragement of the labor iog classes to indolence and discontent. Thc State can work out and will work out, but only the determined industry of her people has saved ber from ruin. The people expect that Governor Moses will stand up to his fair promises without flinching; that be will exert his official power anti personal influence in obtaining a cutting down of the public expenses; that he will push the rejection or f.audulent claims; that hu will cause to be devised a well-digested financial policy. The people do not look for impossibilities. Let Governor Moses hon? estly do his best, and he may count on the support of every citizen who has an interest in the security and progress of the State. Fine words go for little. The people require of the victorious Republicans that they prove their good faith by their works. General JR.. H. Anderson. We are gratified to learn that General E. ' H. Anderson bas been appointed tho agent of tbe South Carolina Railroad Company at Camden, io the place of Mr. A. B. DeSaus surc, promoted to the Columbia agenoy. The appointment is as honorable to the company as, we are sure, it will prove ad? vantageous to their interests, and it will I certainly be hailed by the public as a fit? ting, if modest, recognition of the services of one of the most gallant and courteous I gentlemen in the State. Too Thin. Gover?or Scott, in his valedictory message, sent to the Legislators on Monday, says: 'In reference to the charges very generally made by the political opponents of the admin? istration, to the effect that the people have been burdened with grievous taxation, and bare been sorely oppressed by misgovernment In the State and counties, I affirm that the patent facts disprove the allegations. .Burdensome taxes and gross misrule are In? variably reflected by tbe material condition of the communities unhappily subjected to them. They paralyze the industrial enterprlaea ol a people, and check the investment of capital in business pursuits, just as the energies and functions of the whole human body are ob? structed or destroyed by a disease in aoy of its vital pana. These chargea may, therefore, be properly answered by the testimony of the opposition Itself, aa given incidentally in the columns ol THE CHARLESTON NEWS, the lead? ing Democratic Journal, and the most, authori? tative and sazaclou9 exponent of the commer? cial and planting Interests of the State. In Ita Issue ol July 20,1872, that paper holds the following language, in its leading editorial, entitled 'Out of the Depths :' kTbe signs are not hard to understand. Tbey are written on broad fields and busy streets, in the storehouse of the planter,-and tbe warerooma of the merchant. When the war ended the State was without capital, the railroad system waa deranged and partly de? stroyed, labor was entirely disorganized, agriculture and commerce were alike at a standstill. What la the position now ? The railroads ot the State are rebuilt and newly equipped, excepting where, in the up-coun? try, they have fallen into the bands of Rad? ical ringa. The banking capital, although still email, ls largely Increased, and la In? creasing. The labor ol the State is, at least, efficient enough to enable the planters to make remunerative crops. Ihe receipts of cotton and the principal articles of merchan? dise and produce grow larger every day, both absolutely aud as compared with other ports. The City of Columbia, which was a heap of ruins, ls bullded up. and ls instinct with commercial lile. The City of Cbarlealon ls rapidly rebuilding, and in every particular ls lmproviog her position. Fast steumahipa, admirably equipped, connect Charleston with the prl oct pal cities of the North. Her trade In naval stores mounts higher every year. The bu? siness of mining and manufacturing commer? cial fertilizers gives employment to hundreds of working men, and further swella the busi? ness of the port. Truck farming has reached I an Importance undreamed of before the war. Lumber mills, grain mills and other manufac? turing enterprises add to the stability of the city. In the Interior, the principal towns give cheering Indications ot progress. They, loo, are rebuilding, laying out new streets, putting up milla and Improving their business connections. And thia ls only an Imperfect sketch of the solid work which has been done during tbe past five years,' " These Radical officials have the modesty of the foot-pad who clutches an innocent wayfarer around the neck, takes bis pocket? book and watch, and then tells him that he can't have been robbed because he still pos? sesses a shirt to bis back. What headway the people of Sooth Carolina have made has been in spite of the oppression and extor? tion of the government. Yet Governor Scott coolly claims the progresa of the past ?ear or two-as_conoiiia'na-avW**M>*'*faat the people have not been misruled or over? taxed. ? A Big Blunder. The Lancaster Ledger calls upon the present Legislature to correct the error committed two years ago, In adopting the Code, defining the boundaries between Lancaster and York Counties by the Catawba River, continuing to the North Carolina line. Thia error was first noticed nearly a year ago, and crediting it to the bungling manner in which the Code was adopted, no further attention was paid to it. The gross blunder causes confusion, and the loss of the votes cast at certain precincts on the line named In the late election. THE HON. D. H. CHAMBERLAIN announces that he ls unable to become a candidate for I judge or the Fifth Circuit, and expresses the hope that the Legislature will not bestow the office "upon any one who ls not inspired by a "high respect for the office, and a purpose to "discharge Ita duties with the most scrupu? lous integrity." ?r.pl Sc ti res.
