TH* CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS "ls designa ?.ted as -the newspaper for the publication of "all legal notices, and official advertisements, "for the County of Charleston, under the act "of February 22 J, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late the publication of all legal and public "notices." .??tr SEWS OV IBB DAT. rt "? ?. - It is reported that Rev. Dr. Halght will decline the Episcopal bishopric of Massachu? setts, to which he was recently chosen. - The Berlin sem!-official paper announces that the military levy in Alsace and Lorraine baa passed off with tranquillity. Between seven and eight thousand yoong men have been enrolled, besides a large number of vol? unteers - A tunnel for transit between New Torie city and Brooklyn ls now proposed, in addition to the great East Blver bridge. Street rail? roads In connection are also proposed In order that the people may get to outlying sections in and around Brooklyn. -Pera Hyacinthe is about to start a paper to be called La R?publique Evangellqne. If Mrs. Hyacinthe's eighty thousand dollars are going to embark In that enterprise, saya the New York Commercial Advertiser, we are apprehensive that the result will leave Mrs. Hyacinthe; In anything but an evangellqne frame of mind. -At . meeting of the building committee or 8t. Paul's Reformed Church, Titusvllle, Pa., It was resolved to ask of King William one of the French oannon taken by him in the late war, to be cast as a bell for the new edifice. The, following letter from Charles H. Meyer, the German consul at Philadelphia, tells the result: "I am happy to state to yon that his Majesty the Emperor William, in reply to the petition Of St. Paul's Reformed Church, at Titusvllle, bsa presented one of the captured French cannon to them, weighing about two thousand pounds. Yon will please communi? cate thia fact to the congr?gation, and also state to them that this piece ol artillery ls now ' .walting tra a ? por ta tl on at the depot In Berlin. I sun ready to forward lt at yoor conve? nience." ?-A; Washington telegram says: "Borne sensation bu been created here by the an. nounoement of the Chicago Tribune that lt Intends for the roture to adhere to what ls still termed the Liberal Republican party. The Chicago Tribune ls the moat powerful and In? fluential Journal of the Northwest, and Its con? tinued adherence to the principles ol the Cin? cinnati platform, In the face of the decisive majorities'ra all the Western States for Gene? ral Grant, has caused considerable surprise amongst the Western politicians. ThlB action on the part of the far-seeing men who control the Tribune la taken as a cheering indication that the principles laid down at Cincinnati and reaffirmed at Baltimore are gaining foroe with the people as time rolls on, and that good fruit ls yet to be borne of them. Thia view Is still farther strengthened by the news fr?nt New York that tbe Tribune of the East Will stin be ranged under the same banner with the Tribuns of the West. That Mr. Whitelaw Beid ls able to control the large amount required to purchase fifty shares of the Tribune at the large advance ol twelve thousand dollars per share, cannot be regard? ed as' a symptom that the advocacy of "Libe? ral" doctrines In the Rast does not pay." -A recent telegram In the NBWB briefly men? tioned that a JnnoUon of the headings from the central shalt of the Hoosao Tunnel and from the east end had been effected, and that workmen had passed through irom one sec? tion to the other. This ls the moat important event so far In the history of that great work. Two blasts of nitro-glycerine, each from four? teen holes, whloh required eighty-four feet in length of the explosive, weighing abouty six? ty-three pounds- the largest quantity ev<r be? fore used at one time in the tunnel-made breaches through whloh the waterrun,and the men of the two gangs conversed. Lamps held at the opening were immediately extin? guished, se strong was the draft from the end toward the shalt. The last blast made a hole about a foot In diameter between the two sections. This was speedily enlarged by hand-power, and a small boy was let down from the central shaft Into the east end, amid tbe abouts and cheers ol both ganga, Another person o? larger size followed, and then the east end reciprocated by sending np two of the men of its gang, who proceeded to the shaft, and where the first to reach the top of the monntaln from the east end without ascending its slope. Although the engineers have not yet had an opportunity to verify their calculations by the result, lt ls certain that the error ls scarcely more than a foot either In grade or In line, and lt may prove to be very much less. Another fact, which is likely to have an Important bearing on the matter or ventilation, after the tunnel ls finished, ls that the draft from the eastern end into the central shalt tunnel ls so strong that it can only be likened to a very powerful wind. Work may r.ow be begun on the west heading of the cen? tral Phaft BO that on October 18, 1873, If all goes well, there win be an opening through the Hoosao mountain from east to west, nearly five miles In length. Not quite half a mlle west of the central shalt remains lo be pierced. 3JX*4 New York telegram, describing th? burning of Barnum's Circus and Menagerie In Fourteenth street, on Christmas Eve, Bays: The fire was first discovered at 4.16, bursting through the roof of the circus, Immediately over where the giraffes were kept, and Imme? diately after animals and birds began bowling and screeching in a terrific manner. An alarm was sounded, which quickly brought tbe' district engines on the spot. A second and third alarm was sent ont, but the flames spread with such rapidity that almost belore the firemen could get the water on the circus was gone. Borne of the firemen, who were first on the ground, state that the roan of ? the animals were something frightful to listen to, during the short time that it lasted, as [.they, were speedily put out ol misery by the rapidity with which the devouring element lapped up the Under-like structures In which they were caged. The only an?? mala saved out ol the valuable col" lection, which Ur. Barnum had taken such pains to secura, were two elephants and a camel. The banding was two stories In height, and composed nearly altogether of J corrugated iron and wood, which, with that portion of the building used as a circus, was totally destroyed-the whole building burning as thongh lt were a tlnder-boz. Nothing could be done to Bave any more o? the animals. The firemen state that they would aooner risk falling walls, any time, than enter that den of wild or tame beasts In a case of this kind. Firemen, policemen and others wbo were In the vicinity were unable to Btand within one hundred feet of the burning build? ing, the heat was so intense-which is veri? fied by the fact that the windows o? the Academy of Music were cracked and broken by the heat; doors were blistered, and the bill-boards in front of the Acade-1 my were burned on that side towards the circus. Ic was very much feared that the Academy ol Uuslc would also be consumed, and lt evidently would had not the wind chang? ed. Tbe fire next extended to tbe church ad? joining, which ls known , as Grace Chapel or Church o? the Redemption, and although the firemen used their ntmost endeavors ' save the building, they were unavailing, as lt shared almost the same late as the circus, only the j front walls being left standing. Barnum's i losses are pot down at different sums, varying J from $150,000 to 1300,000. As those parties that do know anything about lt cannot be found, lt ls Impossible to make any true esti? mate of his losses. Ur. Barnum ls said to be In New Orleans at present. Pay Vp I The State and county tax of fifteen mills, for the fiscal year ending October 81, 1873, I is payable before January 15 next, after j which day delinquents will become liable to a penalty of twenty per cent, which pen? alty will be rigidly enforced. Ii anything were to be gained by delay, and if any hanging back would give tbe taxpayers any additional security that the public revenue wonld be faithfully appropriated to the pur? poses for which it is levied, THE NEWS might advise the people to withhold the taxes for a time, or altogether. Bot snch a course would be foolish in the extreme. The rate of taxation is enormously high. It la, how? ever, somewhat less than the people had reason to expect and the prompt payment of the tax will go far to enconrage friendly relations with the government, by proving that there is no disposition to engage in factions opposition to the administration. This is something gained. It should be dis? tinctly understood, nevertheless, that tbe i people pay this tax aa the only tax which is J to be levied npon them daring the year. That if the understanding, and the specu? lators in Colombia need not imagine that because aillions are to be paid into the treasury in fifteen or twenty days, millions j more can be had for the asking. So far and | no farther, is the temper of the people. The Sonta Carolina Railroad. The subjoined article from the New York Stockholder, an authority in financial mat? ters, ls a pleasing indication that the Sooth Carolin a Railroad Company is beginning to obtain, in the money markets of the co an try, the recognition to which Its sound position and fine prospects entitle lt The Stock? holder might bave gone farther, and still have Bald ranch less iban the troth. In bollding op its road and equipping it with? out any increase of debt, the Sooth Carolina Railroad Company accomplished a work without parallel in American railroad histo? ry; nor B3 on ld it be forgotten that tbe en? tire cost ol $42,180 a mlle, which the Stock? holder deems a moderate figure, includes an investment of one million dollars in railroad and steamboat connections, as well as the cost of the large landed estate of the com? pany in Charleston and along the line of road. Wo ventare to say that there is no railroad in the Southern country which, con? sidering the difficulties of its position, has been more admirably managed than the Sooth Carolina Railroad, and no railroad in the money market offers a better invest? ment to t&ose wbo seek a high rate of inter? est coopled with solid and unquestionable secority : [From the New York Stockholder, Dec. 22.] "It ls noticeable In regard to the best man-1 aged and most successful railroads In the Southern States that they are operated and maintained at a ninon less percentage of gross income than even the most prosperous trunk lines In the Northern and Western States. Taking the average of the latter class, it will be fonnd that the annual expensee rather ex? ceed than tall short oi sixty-six per cent of the earnings. Probably the difference la in some degree accounted for In the fact that the competition for trafilo ls sharper in the Northern and Western States, and that conse? quently much busluess ls done which barely pays a profit But stl!l we think that more ls due, In tho case of a few conspicuously well managed companies in the Booth, to a closer and more conscientious scrutiny by the di? rectors of tbe expenditure Incurred in run? ning and maintaining the roads. "In the case o? the railway mentioned at the head of ibis artlole, owned by the Booth Carolina Railroad Company, the directors of j which are some of the most eminent and wealthy cl?zens of Charleston and other towns fn the State, we find that for a period of five years The aggregate earnings were....$6,822.913 86 And the aggregate expenses.4,002,117 12 Showing net earnings of.$2,600,796 74 'The expenses are thus but a little over 58$ per cent of the earnings, leaving 41J per cent o? the Income as net earnings, and this upon a trafilo o? little over $6000 per mlle. "We should be pleased to be able to an? nounce that the State finances of South Caro? lina were and had recentj been In as good condltien and in as sale and responsible bands as are those of this prosperous and well managed company. "We have noticed the same large ratio of net earnings In the case of a few other of the best railways in the South. High rates for freight and Pausengers are obtained, while upright and careful management secures low outlay In all departments of expenditure. "The South Carolina Railroad connects Charleston, the ohlef port of South Carolina, with Augusta, Georgia, one hundred and thirty-seven miles, having two branches, one to Camden, S. C., and another to Columbia, the capital o? the State. The branches are J one hundred and eight miles in length, making the whole mileage operated by the company two hundred and lorty-three miles. The company's capital stock and funded debt amount to $10,159,505, showlDg the road Lo be capitalized at about $42,180 per mlle, which ls considerably lower than the average rate of cost of our Northern roadB. Tbe road is well equipped, having 43 locomotive eDgines and cars to the number of 532. "Messrs. William J. Magrath, George A. Trenbolm, L. D. DeSaussure, and other citi? zens of like character and standing, compose tbe board of directors. Mr. Magrath la presi? dent, Alfred S. Tyler, vice-president, and J. j T. Welsman, treasurer. "Tbe company aonounces that it ls about to retire its non-mortgage bonds and other tem- j porary obligations through the proceeds of second mortgage bonde, the amount of the | issue of which will be $3,000,000. The price ol these, so the treasurer gives notice, will, after the 31st day of December instant, be 75 per cent, and accrued interest. The bonds thus offered bear date October 1, and have attach ed coupons for 7 per cent, per annum interest, payable in April and October, in the City of New York. "The first mortgage upon the company's valuable properly, which is fully equipped and In excellent condition, amounts to only $3, 000,000, or about $12,500 per mlle. " For the new bonds payment will be ac? cepted as follows, viz : Two-thirds of the pur chase money will be received in the 7 per cent, non-mortgage bonds of the company at 76 per cent, and the balance in cash. "The low rate at which these bonds .are offered, and tbe abundant security supplied in the value of the property and the profitable trafile ol the road, make the Investment a de? sirable one, paying nearly 10 per cent, per annum. The bonds may be purchased and re? ceived in exchange at the Fourth National Bank, in this oity, where John C. Cochran, Esq., the company's agent ior this purpose, is in attendance." The Bine Ridge scrip. The Columbia correspondent of THE NEWS fears tbat there ia mischief in the manoeuvrings of tbo unlucky holdera of Blue Bldge scrip. It is not likely tbat these mean anything more than a fixed determination, on the part of the holders, to get their money If they can. We do not think that they can. But the speculators who hearkened to the syren voices of the Bing cannot be expected to look upon this question with that lofty mo? rality which controls the minds of the peo? ple in general. These look upon the issue of the Blue Bldge scrip as a swindle of the first magnitude, and as they decidedly ob? ject to giving any countenance to a swin? dle, they decline to be taxed for the liquida? tion of that scrip. The people of South Car? olina, in other words, appeal toa law higher than that which is framed by legislatures and expounded by courts. ' That higher J law Is the law of s elf-pro t ec Hon. which comes into active operation whenever, under the forms of a so-called law, a swindling job is attempted to be fastened npon them. So for the decisions of the courts are on the side of right; and even if the holders of the fraudulent scrip contrive to give a color or | legality to their claims, they will still break down, because the people will refuse to pay them or to have anything to do with them. Let them try it-just once 1 The Weenie IiftW. The license law, proposed to be adopted by the City Council, has excited considera? ble discussion on the streets and at the fire? side. It is denoancsd OB unconstitutional, and as being unequal and oppressive in its provisions. THE NEWS does not pretend to decide whether it is, or is not, unconstitu? tional-that is a matter for the courts to determine. There is little doubt, however, that the ordinance, as it stands, presses with undue weight upon certain classes of citi? zens. It is to be hoped that the whole ques? tion will be carefully considered. And we most not forget that, whatever deficiency in the city revenue may arise from a total abolition of the license law must be made up by an additional tax upon real and personal property; and every article of property, from a dwelllog house to a child's cradle, must submit to an extra tax. Let us, at least, know what we are doing. Help the Shivering Poor. Christmas week, so far, has been a trying time for all persons employed outdoors, like policemen, car drivers and conductors, newspaper carriers, Ac. Even in the clear, bright sunlight of yesterday the cold was catting and severe. Hard os it was, how? ever, for those whom we have mentioned, how terribly severe it must have been for the poor, shivering wretches who have scarcely enough clothing to cover them, and who have neither fires nor fuel. Think of them, you who gather around your own raddy hearthstones, and send a Christmas gift to the Ladies' Fuel Society. Of o neat io ns!

This valuable preparation, recently discovered, has been extensively tested here and throughout the country during the past summer, and has muy merited the character claimed for lt. Each bottle contains the Juice of four pounds of the best beef, exclusive of rat. Mr. valentino, the patentee and proprietor of this preparation, has in his possession numerous testimonials from the best and most experienced physicians of the land. Among them the follow? ing are presented to the readers of TH B NIWS, who will need no further assurance or the quality and efficacy of the article here offered: CHARLESTON, s. C., September 26,1872. Dear Slr-Some time ago 1 had trie honor to re? ceive by express specimens of your "Meat Juloe" for trial. I bave not thus far acknowledged your kind communication for the simple reason that I never certify to things of which 1 know nothing. I have, in the meantime, tested your "Prepara? tion," fully and cautiously, and the result of my experience has been, thar In all oases where sup? port ls demanded, whether In the teething child or the adult worn down by disease, your "Prepa? ration" has, under my observation, proved far more efficacious' than all the farrago or farina? ceous articles and so-called extracts, which often do more harm than good. I am. very respectfully, your obedient servant, E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Mr. M. S. VALENTINE, Richmond, Va. CHARLESTON, S. C., September ll, 1872. MR. M. S. VALBNTINB: Dear slr-I have made quite au extensive trial of your "Meat Juice" dur luz the past summer, particularly in those protrac ted and exhausting dit e^ses Incident to Infancy and childhood, so familiar to our Southern physicians. The trial has resulted lo a preference for your "Meat Juice" above anthe Extrada which I have hither? to used. So far, ic has tully come up to all that has been claimed for lt, and If its preparation ls conduct!.d with the same care, and the purity of ihe materials maintained as heretofore, 1 have no doubt its use will oe greatly extended. Very respectfully your obedient servant, 1 F. M. ROBERTSON. M. D., Professor of Gynecology and clinical Ona t?trica ia tbe Medical College or the State of South Carolina.

I cheerfully add my testimony to its dietetic value, and regard your "Meat Preparation" of great benefit, not only In inland e. but also in adult practice.

P ROBERT DEBBY, M.D-, Health Officer, Harbor of Charleston. CHARLESTON, S. ci, September20, 1872. Mr. M. S. VALBNTINB, Esq.: * Dear Slr-During the past Bummer I have had afuiropportnnlty if testing your "Preparation of Meat Juice." particularly amongst children suf? fering from Darrhota from "Teething." I And that as soon as they lose their appetite and com? mence to degenerate generally, your Preparation administered is well retained and most often en? joyed by the little suffere/s. They improve rapidly in health and strength. Other preparations are not so easily tolerated, on account of their un plea?ant odor and taste. K??M?
