Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO . No. 19 Broad street, Charleston, S. O. TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1873. THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS "IB designa ..ted as the newspaper for the publication of "all legal notices, aDd official advertisements, "for the County or Charleston, under the act "of February 22d, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late. the publication of all legal and public "notices." NEWS OF THE DAT. _____ -The number of emigrants who left Bre? men for the United States last year was eighty thousand. Emigration from Hamborg during the same time reachedfltty-nlne thousand. -8tanley was engaged to deliver one hun? dred lectures In this country for Atty thous? and dollars. He delivered two in New York In the very heyday of the excitement conse? quent upon his arrival, and then the mana? ger was content to pay the fifteen thousand dollars he had put up for a forfeit and termi? nate the engagement. -Too mnch wheat, it seems, was raised in California last snmmer. There are not enough storehouses there to hold tba crop or ships enough coming to San Francisco to carry away the surplus. Many thousands of bushels remain, unthrashed In the fields, and although freights are doable the rates of the previous year, -a hundred ships at least could be filled np with the wheat now stored In San Fran? cisco. Truly the Golden Horn ls a horn ol plenty. . -The heaviest corn crop ever grown ID the United States was that of last year, which the Agricultural Report states at the huge total of 1,100,000,000 bushels. Not only ls this the largest crop, bnt lt ls said to be corn of better quality and of greater Intrinsic value than usual. Iowa was the banner corn-growing State, ' her average being nearly forty-one bushels an acre. Unfortunately for some of those who would like to have the Iowa corn, it takes the price of four bushels of said corn to get ons bushel to the Atlantic markets. This ia one of the reasons why some people tatt., demanding cheaper transportation be? tween the West and the East. -Harper's Bazaar says: "Leaders of fashion are again taking a decided stand in favor of short skirts for street suits. Whether the fresh protest against tbe slovenliness of long skirts is merely a return of good sense, or ls caused by tbe fact that the neweBt Parisian cos tomes are short enough to escape the ground, we cannot tell; but the effect ls good, and we r.e glad to chronicle it, A leading modiste ?a. a her most fashionable customers are or? dering their costumes made shorter; or else, U the sklgs are made long enough to train slightly.-wber. used in the honse or carriage, they are Invariably provided with numerous loops and buttons to shorten them when worn in the street." -The African Repository for January re? fers to tbe 150 select colored people, in fami? lies, from Georgia, who sailed tor Liberia from New York November 20, under the aus? pices of the Colonization Society, and says that the society has sent a similar expedition annually since 1820, and Borne years several averaging 880 per annum for fifty-four years, and about the average since 1865. It has now more applicants than ever, and desires to cre? ate a Christian Republic In Africa. The country has 23,800 square miles, aDd can sus? tain 15,000,000 population,but has only 600,000. It bas a college, schools, churches, Ac, and ls exploring the Interior. The gross receipts of the society have been $2,782,048, emigrants 14,825, and Africa needs more whom this country can afford to send. Money ls needed to aid them. -In spite of the strict regulations concern? ing the admittance of foreigners to the body of King Kamehameha, as lt lay In state for the first lew honra after his decease, a good many Yankee Journalists dodged In by various de? vices, and have preserved the details of the occasion. AU the officers of> the kingdom, Civil and military, were In attendance, and throngs of natives besides. The body ol the deceased monarch lay upon a high dals, ina uniform lhat might have been modelled after cockatoos and other birds of brilliant plu? ms ge. It consisted of red pantaloons and black coat The hands were encased in white kid gloves, and three orders adorned the breast. The famous yellow feather cloaks, the peculiar possession and distinctive emblem of royalty, were thrown over the bier. These cloaks are made by lastenlng yellow leathers apon a net-work or twine. The feath? ers are procured from a bird that bears only one under each wlog. The mantles are large enough to cover a man and fall in folds around kim, and as they give forth a fine golden color and fall In graceful shape their appear? ance ls very beautiful. The King's sister, Bath, last of the family of the Kamehameha^, sat by ber dead brother's side, the picture of grief, while on the veranda of a bouse adjoin? ing the King's residence was a woman, who had long exercised a boundless control over tke deceased, chanting the wall for tbe dead. She had been known as bis "sorceress," and ber grief was as much (or herself as him, for the same messenger that took his life destroy? ed her lease of power. -Fora city that can be merry In the midst of misrule, and exchange doubts and fears for sm Hos and lightheartedness when darkest dangers threaten, commend us to New Or leans; not even Paris herself can surpass this exuberant American city in its buoyancy. As a consequence, nowhere on this continent ia the peculiar celebration of the "Twelfth Night Revellers, the Feast ot Kings," kept up by procession, ball and banquet. "The Revel? lers" bold a high piace, not only only for their secured wealth and position, but also for the liberal spirit In which they permit the general public to share in their enjoyment. Their masques are not crude monstrosities, but ar? ranged by artists, and usually having a clear and consistent meaning. J his year tbe plot was composed from Audubon's great work. As the renowned ornithologist was a native of Louisiana, it was with much propriety that this method was chosen to keep his name and tame before the people. The characters were the birds described and illustrated by the patron saint of the day. As the procession turned out of an unfrequented street, first came two heralds, sacred messen? gers from the king, portrayed by the flamingo, red egret and Ibis on horseback. Then fol? lowed the Twelfth Night Cake, a mountain ol confectionery, accompanied and guarded by birds, and surmounted by a transparent ban. ner announcing the world of Audubon. Au? dubon himself, with cook and Indian guide, the Lord of Misrule, with Infirmary practice, weddings, funerals and al! variety of burlesque were delicately and faithfully represented. The Battle ol the Birds was prophetic. Prus? sia and Russia tore er.ch other in pieces, while France and tha Yankee Eagle stood apart looking on. The Bird Club was a meeting of Jolly good fellows, and the Mocking Birds' choir showed up the Gilmore Jubilee with a gracelul and expressive conductor. The ?late Debt. A joint resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives last week, author? izing the Governor to appoint three com missioners who should investigate the amount and validity of the State debt, and stamp officially the bonds and stocks found to be genuine. Objection was very properly made to this resolution. It proposed to give the commissioners too much power. None could know who and what the com? missioners might be, and their recognition of any eel of bonds or stocks would em bar. rass the Legislature, besides exciting in the mind of the bondholders hopes which might not be realized. The committee to whom the resolution was referred consulted with the State officers, and it was then proposed that tbe commissioners should be the Gov? ernor, the Attorney-General, the Treasurer, the Comptroller, the Secretary of State, and the chairmen of the Committees of Ways and Means and Finance. It was subse? quently proposed to contine the commission to the four State officers named. Such a commission wonld be far'more efficient than a larger one of uncertain material, and, as as far as we are concerned, we should prefer to see the investigation conducted by the financial board, which consists of thc Gover? nor, the Treasurer and the Attorney-Gene? ral. This wonld be better than a new or? ganization. Whatever the character of the body to whom the investigation of the condition of the debt is entrusted, lt is to be boped that the scrutiny will be thorough and final. This is no time for tinkering. Whether the examination take five months or .five-years, let it be so searching and conclusive that the Legislature can adopt the recommenda? tions of the board with satisfaction to them? selves and justice to the people. The work cannot be done in a day, Any undue haste will only result in patching up the debt, with a certainty that the process must be repeated a year or two hence. We desire to see an honest and impartial scrutiny of all the transactions of the government in connection with the State debt, and we trust that the Legislature will consider fa? vorably any practical proposition looking to that end. The Bribing Pennsylvanians. Clayton of Arkansas, Caldwell of Kansas, and "Honest" John Patterson, of South Carolina-the three Senators who are charged with baying their election-are all natives of Pennsylvania, very mach to the disgust of the Union League of that State, which organization cannot forgive a corrup? tion^ who is simple enough to be fonnd out. The Committee on Privileges and Elec? tions of the United States Senate have begun an inquiry into the money transac? tions connected with tbe election of Cald? well, and the Naiionsaya that "a similar in? quiry will be moved when Mr. Patterson, .'who stands publicly accused of having '.bought bis way through the Legislature of "South Carolina, presents himself in the "Senate." About Caldwell we know very little, bat Mr. Patterson will certainly be convicted, if tho .nen whom he tampered with stand Arm. And if they do, as we be? lieve they will, a monument as high as tbe twin flags on the capitol will not be too lofty for the men who insure the disgrace of bim who has done so much to make the Legislative halls au open market, where the dearest interests of the people are sold to the highest bidder. Can the masses of the colored people be expected to be frugal and honest, while any of their chosen representatives treat a vote as a commodity which the longest purse can always buy ? And who is to blame for the venality which stalks abroad in Columbia, save Mr. Patterson and bis companions in sin? The Water Question. The Colombia correspondent of the Courier says that Mr. Tim Harley io opposing the passage of the bill to incorporate theCbarles torrWater and Canal Company, and "it will "probably be defeated." Hurley has a cog? nate bill of hie own, which he probably de? sires to sell, but we do not think that he now carries the Legislature In his pocket. Should the Legislature reject the bill, whose passage I is earnestly desired by the citizens of Charles? ton, it will be because they have no love for this City, nnd not on account of their affec? tion for Mr. Hurley, who committed the double crime of buying them up and then boasting how easily he did it "The Union." The Columbia Union is strongly ?Q favor of the proposition to confer upon the Finan? cial Board the power to examine imo the condition of the State debt, and to register all bonds and stocks without expense to the holders. For once THE NEWS and Its Rad? ical broiher can dwell togstter in unity. A Good Move. Representative Miller bas introduced a bil! to provide for a compulsory registration of births, deaths and marriages takiug place arter July 31, 1873. Tbe proposition is a good one. Such a registration will be of value in tbe courts as a means of establish? ing age and legitimacy of birtb, and the Btatisiical tables, as published, will show wbat progress the State is making in the matter of population. When the people have fairly before them, in official Bhape, an exhibit of the terrible mortality amongst the colored people, th*ey will be aroused to the necessity of teaching the ignorant classes how to take care of themselves and their children. The registration of marriages will naturally tend to increase tbe solemnity of the marriage tie. Jumping ov^r a broom? stick will not satisfy the confiding fair, when the law requires them to produce, before the registrars, the certificate of a clergyman or trial justice. Lord -ytton. ' A subscriber asks to be informed if Bulwer, the dead novelist, was Lord Lytton, pr Lord Bulwer-Lytton. -There seems to be some confusion* upon this point, which we will endeavor to make clear. The father of the novelist was Gen? eral Bulwer, and bis mother's maiden name was Lytton. His own name, in full, was Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer, and it j was as plain Mr. Bulwer that he won the lit? erary successes which make bim famous wherever English is spoken, and have given him, upon the Continent of Europe, a wider reputation than is enjoyed by any other English novelist- In 1838 Mr. Bulwer, as the representative of British literature, was created a baronet, bis title being simply Sr Edward G. E. L. Bulwer. Io 1843 th. mother of Sir Edward Bulwer died, and, in compliance with her will, he changed his name; taking, by royal license, the name of Lytton in addition to that of Bulwer. His style then was Sir Edward Bulwer-Lylton. In 1866 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Lytton (not Bulwer-Lytton) and was thenceforth known as Lord Lytton. Bulwer Lytlon was his family name; Baron Lytton was bis titla The Fascination of Money. A recent English essay on the above subject will be found applicable, In some of its par? ticulars, to tbe American disposition. The struggling professional man, says the writer, looks on a quarter ol a million as Aladdin's lamp, but il he bad it he would, In ten years, wonder why be could do so little. His first j emotion would be a desire lo make his money quite safe; bis next, unless he was abnormally un-English, to possess a "place;" and bis next, to be rid of the worry of cureful super? vision. When he had obeyed these three In? stincts, he would find tbat he had invested bis money-the purchase of land Included-at j about three and a quarter per cent., that he had two establishments to keep up, that he bad lost his old scale ot calculation about all expenses, and that the ?8000 a year he was receiving was a very moderate In? come, out of which if he gave away a tenth he would be very liberal indeed. The Idea ol giving on a great scale would frighten him, as it frightens Vice Chancellor Malins, who decided, no doubt, wisely In the case before him, that great gilts were so Improper that a solicitor who drew up deeds conveying them ought to be soundly fined lor lending bis skill to assist in such deplorable acts of weakness. Until he reached a very large high figure in? deed, the sense of wealth would not come to him, and even when he bad reached that figure lhere would remain the reluctance to part with capital and a new sense of the difficulty of .doing anything great, that ls scenically great, out of the surplus Income. Two millions will accomplish much, buta year's surplus, say ?40,000, will do but very little. The Interests of ordinary life being I gone-fon after all, lt is difficult to work any? thing except politics when the money pay? ment for the work has lost all meaning-he would have to discover a new one, and would find lt either in accumulation, or in building, or In buying, the latter a taste which can be? come a sovereign passion. The Medicean habit of mind would come upon him like a cloud, and he would find that ol all his dreams no one could be realized without immense self-sacrifice, which he would have rather less energy to make than In days when he dreamed of making ll. And yet he would not be changed, but weald only feel tbe old fascina? tion of money In a new and slightly less imaginative form. We are inclined to believe that Ibis fascination of money, this desire for lt as an instrument of power, increases im? mensely with the spread of culture and of what we call civilization-that so far from ils being felt mainly by vulgar minds, lt ls affect? ing powerful and liberal minds far more deeply. They realize the might ot cash much more strongly than their Inferiors. You can mark the truth of that sentence in the writings of men like Beckford, of "Anastasius," Hope, of Edgar Poe-a born millionaire who never had a shilling-of Ben Jonson, of the heaps of modern writers who use wealth as the instru? ment of bliss. This spirit Is not sordid, lt ls not even mean; but lt is earthy, and lt begins to be Injurious. ifnrmtnre, H*t. JMRST-CLASS FURNITURE, AT REASONABLE PRICES.
