AddreSB RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO . NP. 10 Broad street, Charleston, s. C. Wit (8h*ileaton 3feb>? THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1873. THE CHARLESTON DAILT NEWS "ls designa "tdd es the newspaper for the publication of "all legal notices, and official advertisements, "for the County of Charleston, under the act "of February 22d, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late the publication of all legal and public "notices." SE IVS OF THE DAT. -The ex-Prince Imperial of France will at-1 tala bis majority on the 16th of March. -Among the foreign artistes now Binging lo Italy are two English tenors, bearing, res? pectively, the celebrated names of Shakspeare j and Byron. -A bill "for the prohibition of gilt enter? prises in the District of Colombia" was passed by the House of Representatives on the 24th ultimo. This is rough on Grant ! -Among the saddest episodes in the late storm in Minnesota, according to a Western paper, was the freezing of the bands, nose, forehead, everything except the cheek-of a j life assurance agent. -James W. Wallack, the father of Lester Wallack, was so very anxious bis funeral should be private tbat he enjoined upon bis j friends that they should not publish the date of Its occurrence. -The French census enumerates thirty-one thousand Ave hundred and eighty-six more | married men than married women. How ls . this ? Do that number of French wives keep j T- h --I-1*1, f nr r-- *u- - --- -The Princess of Wales set the fashion of | great simplicity la her boy's toilette -her | lair, pretty little princes are always costumed with the neatness and quietness which are in? separable from elegance and taste. Alright | colored bow at their necks is the nearest ap? proach to ornament their dresses ever add to their simple toilettes for any public appear? ance, -Calerait, the English hangman, is a ro? bust, benevolent-looking old man, with a slight Bloop and a trifle shaky in his galt, who, wears a clerically cut black suit and long white hair and beard. His assistant, and probable successor, ls a well-to-do Welsbman, of thirty-five, who has a morbid fondness for witnessing last scenes. They both are ama? teur gardeners when not prolesslonally em- j ployed. -If Spiritualism ever becomes fashionable lo England, lt will be difficult to tell bow Arm a foothold lt may obtain It appears that lt baa already enlisted in its ranks several noblemen, among them an earl, who bas now solved all bis doubts, as he ls dead; a dowager duchess, a captain in the guard-Lord Dun? dreary, /probably-a baronet, several members of Parliament, a barrister, a doctor-there really must be more than one-and a mer? chant or two. So says the London Times. -The Credit Mobilier, after having slaught-1 ered a number of precious lives, recently attempted to commit suicide in Philadelphia. A petition was presented to the Court of Com? mon Pleas praying for a decree of dissolution, on the ground that the petitioner was in needy circumstances, and could not get any more work, but Judge Allison promptly re-1 fused the prayer, and "compelled the corpora? tion still to live." Remorse ls supposed to | bave been the canse of the rash act. -The Boston Advertiser gives us a picture j of the streets of the districts devastated by the fire, which very mach resembles, on first view, a representation of a dislocated hoop-? skirt. White Unes of this map show the pro-j posed widenlngs and stralghtenlngs of the j thoroughfares. If finished as contemplated, a j fair disentanglement of this labyrinth of j streets,. which, as the Irishman said, began j nowhere, and ended lu the same place, may ; be expected. --The third annual meeting in favor of wo-1 man's suffrage bas been held In Boston. There was nothing new la the proceedings. Ia fact, they appear to have lacked spirit, as If the Massachusetts women had got tired ol abusing man in general, marriage, .Christiani? ty and morality, and had about run ont of | stock in trade .In the way of exciting "isms. Mrs. Lucy Stone wanted ten thousand dollars for. the coming year, and sent her bonnet around, accompanied by Miss Lord's hat, but | with what result we have not learned. -A curious affidavit bas been presented to j tbe court by the counsel of Stokes la their bill of exceptions. Mary Bean swears that Imme? diately before the murder of Fisk she saw him at the entrance of the Grand Central Hotel with a pistol in his hand; but, being about to enter Into the bonds of wedlock, ehe was persuaded not to tell what she saw, lor fear of being looked np aa a witness. Just cJbont that period Mary's desire for a huBban/. was I evidently greater than her love for Justice; ! but having enjoyed that luxury for some time she ls now willing to become a witness, even a' the cost of being temporarily separates from her lord and master. Mary's presen ambition to sacrifice herself on the altar of Justice is highly commendable, particularly if, In doing so, she succeeds in securing a little exemption from marital restraint by being locked up In the Tombs. - -Mr. George Torrey, a respectable cotton planter cf Mississippi, recently went to Eng? land to Induce larm and household servants te come hliher with a view of permanent set tlement. Ia a letter written at Liverpool on the 6th nit,. Mr. Torrey informs us that he Anda some difficulty lu procuring emigrants of the proper kind In England, but thinks they may be obtained In any number from Alsace and Lorraine. The coat ol passage from these last mentioned places to Liverpool would be about eleven dollars, and from Liv? erpool to New Orleans thirty-five dollars. Colonel Torrey's letter ls accompanied by one from J. L. Pinegan, Esq., who Is fully en? dorsed by Father Nugent, of Liverpool. Mr. Finegan speaks in high terms of the people of Alsace and Lorraine. He says : "They are remarkable for their sobriety and Industry, and are Indeed the best agricultural laborers tobe lound in France." He adds: "Having lived In France for many years, and having only recently returned from France, I could easily open official commmlcatlon, either in person or by letter, whereby you could obtain one hundred (or more, If requisite) of these people, who would only be too glad to emi? grate to Louisiana. I may tell you that, for the most part, these Alsatians and Lorrainers are Catholics, and could readily adapt them? selves to the customs and manners of a free country," <kc. "There'? Many a Slip," ?fcc. Things begin to look rather blue for Mr. John J. Patterson* United States Senator elect from South Carolina. Everybody knows that he bought the votes which elected him. There is hardly one among his partisans who has the effrontery to deny the fact. The boldest of them have con? tented themselves with stout denials of the existence of proof to convict. Yet, arter all, "Henest John" bas not dared to face bis accusers in the courts. Taking refuge behind a legal technicality, he bas succeeded in dodging, for the present, the judicial investigation which he and bis friends have been pretending to court. But he bas yet to face a far more terrible tribu? nal, whose judgment he may non hope to dodge. At the time of his election, be bad good reason to flatter himself that the Sen? ate of the United States wonld make light of the wholesale, systematic and noto? rious bribery by dint of which be secured his election. It bad been the custom of Congress to treat corruption charges merely as the last resort of the defeated. Bat all this is changed. The sadden fall of Colfax, of Harlan, of Pomeroy, and other great party lights, has made it necessary that Bad ?cal public virtue should just now, in every possible way, be vindicated before the people. Every senator is**?gerly cast? ing about for the means of demonstrating, if not his own incorruptibility, at least bis abhorrence of the corruption of others. The spasm of virtuous indignation can hardly pass off before the time at which Patterson mast claim his seat Will be be made the party scapegoat? Or will the Sen? ate accept, as conclusive proof of bis inno advantage of a legal quibble to postpone for a twelvemonth meeting the issae which is to decide whether he shall wear the robes of the senator or the stripes of the convict? We shall see. Federal Aid for the South. The Northern papers seem at last to be generally Impressed with the importance to the whole nation of putting the Southern States on their legs again, financially, as speedily as possible; and the pleasantly startling proposition for an issue of one hundred million dollars of bonds by the Fed? eral Government in aid of the Sooth seems to be very generally regarded with favor. Forney's Philadelphia Press, lc discussing the matter, says : "The financial condition of the Southern States ls now a more serious problem than their political condition. The war, of course, left them Impoverished and burdened with debt. It was expected that they would rap? idly recuperate, but instead the indebtedness ot many baa swollen mountain high, until re? pudiation or bankruptcy are the only alterna? tive?. The first Is now seriously considered by some ot these Commonwealths, and may be resorted to unless some plan ls devised by which ruin may be averted. Ia Virginia, the State, unable to pay Its millions of bonds, pro? poses to go into the insurance business, and In every part of the lately Insurrectionary sec? tion, save only Texas, almost universal pov? erty, corporate and Individual, prevails. Io this exigency lt has been suggested that the General Government come to the relief of these States. Mr. Hale proposed lt In his recent speech on the corruptions ot South? ern politics, and business men In all the great trade centres cordially approve lt. [The debt of North Carolina Is $30,000,000, j South Carolioa $16,000,000, Virginia $47,000, f 000, Georgia $10,500,000, Alabama $15,500,000, ! Mississippi $25,000,000, Louisiana $21,000,000, Tennessee $31,000,000, Florida $6,000,000, or au aggregate Indebtedness in ten Stales of $202,000,000. The most feasible plan sug? gested la tbat Congress "authorize the Issue of $100,000,000 ot bonds by the General Gov? ernment, lo be distributed, under suitable re? strictions, among the southern States, for the purpose of relieving In part the people from liabilities contracted since the war for works of internal improvement by their respective State governments." Either this or some other measure must be adopted for the assist? ance of the powerless South, or Its recovery will be indefinitely delayed." Even the New York Times, the most ma? lignant and unrelenting enemy of the South, ls constrained to give its approval to the proposed scheme of relief. Tlmrod at "thc Hub." Some of the oracular utterances of the Boston Globe in connection with Timrod's poems invite comment. It is well that aesthetics shoald sometimes displace poli? tics. It is pleasant to know thal when dome bright particular star shines in our Southern sky, Its rays can pierce even Cim? merian darkness and attract the homage of the wise men or the East. The poetic fire of Timrod kindles enthusiasm at the North, just as we at the South appreciate tho bril? liancy of Holmes, even in spite or those lines, which he may well wish to blot, as to ne' groee "scooping out rebel gravea." Natare and civilization are not voiceless. Nemesis is not always slow. Every man who has gained power or pelf by arraying Degro bay? onets or votes against the Southern people may clearly read hi9 doom "Living, to forfeit fur renown, And, doubly dying, io go down To ibe vile dirt from which he sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung." In one of his last letters, Washington, expecting war with France says : "They "will put arms into the bands of our slaves." Strange that the worst crime against civili? zation which be then feared from infidel, revolutionary France, New England piety and philanthropy should ia this age per? petrate, and New England poetry gloat over. There are noble spirits in New England, as everywhere else. There are thousands there of clear heads and honest hearts, whose judgments are just, when the means of judging rightly are possessed. No can? did visitor to the South from these regions but acknowledges previous error as to facts. And even as to that multitudinous mutual admiration society which Ibo Globe repre? sents, may not their mental vagaries be the result simply of ignorance? In some direc? tions their vision is eminently clear. In? deed they know everything, except a few things which outside barbarians value; such, for Instance, as honor, good faith, politics, religion. Here their vision is dim. If reverence and love are the essence of re? ligion, what clear idea can they have of it who ignore Bible teachings, and whose very philanthropy is malignant and fratricidal ? Are not they ignorant of political history who call us "rebels," "traitors," as if we were the subjects of the Northern people, as the great (rebel and traitor ?) Washington was a subject of George HI ? What idea of good faith bave they who break their side of a compact, and then murder us for consid? ering it broken ? What meaning do they attach to the word honor, wilh whom Buller is an idol ? Tho Globe affirms of all its constituents the warmest good will to ibe South. Wilh equal sincerity we may attribute all their mistakes to simple ignorance, and we here cheerfully contribute our mite to reinforce their stock of knowledge, especially self-knowledge. Justin to the South. The New York Tribune, commenting on the action of the House on Thursday in restoring the names of Southern pensioners of the war of 1812, says: "The House was manly and "generous, yesterday, in restoring to their "place on tho pension rolls the Soulhern sur? vivors of the war of 1812. That they should "have been stricken off that brief roll In a "moment of patriotic passion was natura1 "enough, even though it may not have been "certain that they voluntarily sympathized 'with the rebellion; but lt ls too late now to "discuss what peculiar views these aged "veterans of another war had in 1862. No 'body will taunt Messrs. Butler, Bingham and "Willard with having courage to Bay now lor "Soulhern men good words which they would "cot have dared to say during the late cam 'palgn. We are heartily glad that these gen? tlemen can honestly declare there is no 'longer any use in polishing up the memories .'of the rebellion in order to keep them "bright." And the Baltimore Sun says : "The late de atol?n, nf tha.Hausa pf Representatives lo re "store the names of Southern soldiers ol the "war of 1812 and of their widows to the pen "sion roll ls more Important as indicative of "a readiness to look over 18G1 to 1812, than "from any great benefits it will confer upon "the number of persons in the Southern "States likely to be affected by this action ot "the House. It ls now tull sixty years since "the soldiers of that period bore arms In de? fence of the country, and ihe number of sur "vlvors must be very small. But the money "compensation to these survivors Is the very "smallest part of the matter. If the action "of ihe House may be regarded as Indicating "a returning sense ol justice and fair play to "the Southern communities, it conveys a sig? nificance which ls of Interest to the whole "American people."
