Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO, No. 10 Broad street, Oharieston, S. C. [ MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1873. THC OHABLBSTON DAILY NEWS "IB designa -'tdd aa the newspaper for tne publication of "all legal notices, and official advertisements, "for the County of Charleston, under the act "of February Md, 1870, entitled an act to regu? late the publication of all legal and public .'notices," ^XEWS OE THE DAT. ?-The fashion of the ladies parting their . bair at the side is extending. -A oonple living in Michigan, not yet thirty-one years old, have a grand-child aged nine months. -Large shipments of coal are now made to the West India Islands, which have hither? to drawn most of their supply lrom England. -Elvina Stickney, the Iowa school girl who shot her teacher some weeks ego because he wasn't in love with ber, has been pronounced m Insane, of course. -Prince Arthur, of England, dressed In a Holland blouse and gray bat, walked about the Corso, at Borne, during the carnival, ap? parently enjoying his Incognito, being pelted with bouquets and confetti for the amusement of the people. -The unusual financial tact was developed last week that specie was being shipped from England to America; Usually the course of shipment ls the other way, tbe balance ol ex? change being almost always in favor of Eng? land. But last week gold went up In New York, and exchange on London declined until ultimately people found lt cheaper to pay freight on specie shipments across the At? lantic than to draw bills of exchange. It was an unaccustomed financial phenomenon, and did not last long. -Billy Forrester has been Interviewed at tbe Jollet prison, and promises to put the authorities on the track of the Nathan mur? derer if he ls approached In the right way. He says : "I know the whole plot, and know that certain New-York officials are Implicated In Buch away as .to make lt necessary that nene but detectives of Kelso's choice shall be put on the case. They have now spent sev? eral thousand dollars and axe no nearer the solution of the mystery than at the beginning. Let proper persons approach me, and the affair will no longer be a mystery.? -Those who have seen or read of the tumultu?os scenes that have taken place In the English House of Commons, on the rising to speak ol any extremely unpopular mem? ber, or on the defeat of any Important meas? ure unexpectedly, can "well lmagln?-tue per? fect Babel that greeter" Coe vote on the Irish University bill. The gravest members of the opposition, at newB so gratifying, undoubtedly behaved, like mature schoolboys, and even that self-contained and ambitious leader, Disraeli, must have felt more fully that he hal, even after the loss of his wife, something yet to Hive for. -At?recent audience given by the Empe? ror and Empress of Japan to the American and Rosal an ambassadors and their wives, the appearance of : the Empress is thus described: "The Empress was attired In a dress of heavy brown silk, with overdress of crimson wrought with- gold. She had ber hair dressed very tastily, paded at the side, drawn bact from the forehead, and low, while stiff at the ends and fastened with ribbons. The sleeves of the overdress wide and full, and reached nearly JO the floor. Her lace was white with powder, her lips vermllllon with paint, eye? brows not to be seen, having been polled out, while the teeth were blackened to the utter? most. ' .,. * -The text of the new lien law of Georgia has been published. It ls the most compre? hensive of any ol the States, as lar aa we are advised. It gives a Hen on the yeat's crop by special contract nnder the statute to all lac tors, merchants, landlords, dealers In fertiliz? ers, and to all persons iurnishlng money, farming utensils, or other articles necessary to make crops, and also to all those who sup? ply clothing, medicine or provisions, medical service, tuition or school books. These liens are declared to be superior to all other liens except those for taxes, laborers' wages and those of landlords. All Hens most be by spe? cial contract In writing, and persons making Hens must give all Information respecting any previous liens that may have been effected, and fir-'" liens are to have precedence. -The Pall Mall Gazette describes tbe despe? rate effort made, lt appears with no great re? sult, to Inspire the English provincial newspa? pers with a JuBt Bense ot' Mr. Gladstone's merits. A Liberal Prese Agency was estab? lished in London. The rural journals were supplied with letters purporting to Issue from the agency, and filled with flattery of the Premier. Exhortations were regularly Inter? polated, to support the government, and the editors were kept well supplied with choice leading articles in the same Interest. The whole kingdom was flooded with Gladstonian articles, letters, anecdotes, and even psalme and hymns-all the work of the ministerial ready writers' In London. This is called "rig? ging the press." Yet, In spite of it all, Mr. Gladstone-has been compelled to resign. -A Washington dispatch says: "Hundreds of letters are being received here dally, con? taining inquiries as to the modifications of the postal laws made at the last session. Many people are of the impression that the reduction ol letter postage lo two cents was .passed by both houses. A great deal of un? certainty exists also amongst people in the country, subscribers to newspapers, as to whether the provision requiring prepayment of newspaper postage at the office of publica? tion flually became a law. A widespread im? pression prevails that such ls the case. This is erroneous. As has already been slated, the provision prohibiting the trarsmisslon ol any free matter whatever alter June next was put in the postoffice appropriation bill, and ls now a law. But the proposed reduction of letter postage lalled to receive the approval of the Senate, and the rate remains at three cents for single letters. The provision re? quiring the prepayment ol poBlage on news? papers at the place or publication was finally also lost, and the present regulations In this respect, therefore, remain in force." French Criticism ol'English Literature. A writer in the Revue des Deux Mondes, the acutest critical journal published in France, reviews Middlemarch at great length. The French critic admits that George Eliot " is certainly not d?ficient in .? scholarship, talent or brilliancy," and " dees not lack fertility in invention," while " few English writers equal ber in power.'' He gives her credit for a " keen and dell ?. cate study of human ambitions and weak ?* nesses," but emphatically declares that all her 11 noble and substantial, delicate and " visible qualities " are not enough to re? deem a flagrant contempt for the " essential "rules of art." What these "essential rules" are is not clearly lained. Mid? dlemarch is described as being composed of " disconnected chapters thrown together " apparently by chance," and George Eliot is reminded that, to merit a place among nov* elists of the first rank, she must recognize the truth that " the first condition of beauty "is to perfect the main part of the struc " ture before elaborating its ornament;" that "perfection in detail will not supply " deficiency in plan;" that " the ideal is not above nature, it forms part of the truth, .'it is indispensable to all superior work." And because George Eliot has "deliberately " put observation above imagination " and "bas subjected to unpilying analysis all " that belongs to passion, sensibility and "fancy," the French crillc witholds from ber "a place among ihe world's greatest " novelists." The questions raised by the critic would be easier of solution if be had named " the " world's greatest novelists," amongst whom Ihe author of Adam Bede, of the Mill on the Floss and of Middlemarch is denied a place. It would probably be found tkat Ihey were writers of whom the century knows nothing; whose works, in dusty manuscript, are hid? den away in dingy garrets, or, on the back shelves of publishers, await the time when a better understanding of the infallible " rules of art" shall enable ordinary minds to plumb their depths and scale their sum? mits; writer a, in fine, who will be remem? bered when George Eliot is forgotten, and not until then. But the failure of the critic to famish a standard by which the value of his literary judgment may be exactly deter? mined does not justify an ignoring of BO much of his criticism os may be found in? telligible. If we understand bim correctly his decision is that George Eliot is not a great novelist, because the plan of her work is defective and because she deals with the real-that is, with living, men and women instead of the ideal-that is such person? ages as French authors create wheo they are not dissecting the heroes of the coulisses or the dames of the Quartier Breda. Lamar? tine and Alexandre Dumas might serve to represent the ideal, and Pani de Kock and George Sand the real. For two hundred yerrs the fight hos waged between the critics of the Gallic school and the writers who have made the English tongue immortal. The French afreet a lik? ing for "the Divine Williams," but they place him in a niche far befow that which is occupied by Corneille and Racine. - In like manner the Henria/Je: i'd "the Gallic mind, towers above Paradise Lost. For this there lt a sound nason, The French look more to manner than to matter, to form than to substance. Fore- to them is weakness, un lesB iL ba symmetrical. Such a thing as the vehemence of genius, which looks only to the accomplishment of a certain result, and holds that to be the trne process which gives the desired effect, Linds no sympathy in the heart of the French homme de lettres. Tur? ner stack a wafer npon one of his paintings, with the deliberate purpose of giving to bis .work the patch of bright color needed to prevent it from being eclipsed by the garish coloring of a picture which hang by its side. The bold stroke was successful, bat, doubt? less, Turner was soundly berated by the French critic of the period. The time may come when a novel shall be written which will be as perfect in plan as in execution, but no such novel has yet appeared. For Ihe present the reading public must content themselves with admir? ing genius in whatever shape it manifests itself. If ll be a fault in George Eliot 'hat she baa not the skill of Wilkie Collins, of Reade and, in a lesser degree, of Sc o Lt, io forming a plot, ber fault is shared with Thackeray and Dickens and in a host of others whom all critics, save French critics, admit to be great writers. Aad it a choice must be made between ingenuity of plan and perfection of detail the preference will unhesitatiDgly be given to the latter. A work which relies for ita interest on the ex? citement of cariosity will fall dead when that curiosity is gratified; while works like those of George Eliot, which rely for their success upon the large-hearted understand - iog of the virtues and vices of throbbing aud anfieriog human nature, npon their graphic descriptions of eveols, and upon their aabtle comprehension of motives of action and the modes of mental and moral development and change, ripen with their age and never lose their charm. The French critic, more? over, has not read understandingly the pre? face or the concluding paragraphe ot the novel which he professes to weigh impar? tially In the scales of universal knowledge. With the plan and the incidents of the story staring him in the face how can a candid critic say that George Eliot rejects the im? mortal precept that " the ideal" is indiapen aable to 8nperior work ? On the contrary Middlemarch itself shows the ideal nature in contact with the real; in contact with the cares and jealousies and meannesses of real life. If the end be that the ideal is, in a particular sense, vanquished by the real, and that the lofty ambition to exalt aud purify a people is narrowed down until it ceases to strive for the impossible-the re? sponsibility caonot be laid upon tbe faithful pen of George Eliot. When the writers of tho universe are Gods or French critics tbe outcome will be diiferent. The distinction between the French idea and the English idea of literary art can be illustrated by a simple example. In the icily regular masterpieces of the French drama the Parisian De La Plucbe hands bis mistress a billet-doux in this wise: Madame ! Voici une lettre. Entre vos mains on m'a dit de la remettre. Compare tbis stilted stuff with the words put into tbe mouths of the clowns and lac? queys of the English stage, and the contrast is complete! The one is true to the ?Tales ??of art," as they are called; the other is true to Nature. "Killing No Murder.' SALISBURT, MD., March 10. George Hall shot amelia Speckley dead, as as she was reluming home from school. The cause of the murder was that Miss Speckley aid not answer a love letter which Hall had written to her. Hall is eighteen years old, and Miss Speckley was tineen. Their families move in the tiret circles. -Another tragedy added to annals nl ready too black with crimes. Another morai application of tbe doctrine that tbe habitual carrying of deadly weapons is a wise and necessary precaution. Another lesson on the advantages of precocious de? velopment, stimulated by dime novels and the dramatic apotheosis of crime. Again an incontrovertible proof that the American youth ls capable, at the most tender age, of attending lo bis own interests, and or avenging his honor like a man-even on a woman 1 Of course in such a case as this, the plea of "temporary insanity" will secure the acquit? tal of the murderer. Eloquent advocates will plead his cause, and this will be the nature of their appeal to the intelligent and respecta? ble jury : "Could one in the full possession " of reason, shoot down, in cold blood, the " woman who is all tbe world to lum ? How " can it then bo credible, gentlemen of " the jury, that this boy, standing on the " threshold of life, in the glory of dawning " manhood, should wreck all ?ls promise " by the commission of a crime from which " the most hardened wretch would shrink? "It is admitted that his bund truced these " vows of love and undying devollon. Can " it be conceived that, a few hours later, " ihe same hand could rulblessly destroy Hie " temple of God, which hts soul bad " chosen for ils shrine? This is too mon " straus for belief! Surely here is indispul " able evidence of a yoong, sensitive " mind, thrown from its balance by the " intensity of its emotions, maddened hy the " contempt and disdain of scornful woman. " Humanity and justice alike demand " Ibo release of the suflering prisoner. Let " him who bas been the victim of such " untoward circumstances be allowed to ro " trieve an error induced by the impeiu " osity of youth, and by a spirit too deli? cately strung lo meekly endure affront" But to the grave, where that cold, still form lies shrouded und bushed forever, lhere comes DO whisper of release, no prom? ise o? the earthly renewal of a life blighter' before its radiance had shown. The penally of maidenly modesty and wise reserve is Death-horrible sudden and inexorable. The justification of murder is the popular creed tbat men hold in their own bauds Ibe redress of all iheir imaginary or actual inju? ries. "Honor" asserts that the Creator, who bas proclaimed that vengeanco be? longs to Him, and that Ho will repay, is too tardy in fulfilling Hts promises to satisfy arrogant, spirited mun. What marvel is it Iben that the boy, who hopes soon to claim a place in the exalted order of mature men, Bheuld be eager U* attest bis fitness for promotion by display? ing an utter disregard of oiher's lives, and a jealous solicitude to secure, at any price, his own selfish aims ? These qualities, as he is taught, emilie him to respect as " a " man of unsullied honor." It is Dot incom? patible wilh the transcendent purity of worldly Honor that il should be stained wilh blood. Honor, Hie immaculate, acquires a more resplendent lustre by being plunged in the crimson flood. Immersion in that awful Styx secures, among men, the name of invincible to the modern Achilles; but to God and the hero alone is known the vulner? able spot which cannot be steeled against I the barb, and on which the man who is but mortal, alas I must go halting through life until Ihe wound festers unto death. Keep Cool, Neighbor t - The Savannah News thinks that this poper " sought to create an injurious opinion " against Savannah by italicising certain " sentences " in the article of the Savannuh Neus which set forth the stagnation of trade in the Forest City. Our Savannuh contemporary insists that ils article "con " taioed hutu plain statement of fads,"and it admits that "business is dull now in Savan " nah in comparison with former yearB." All that Hi it, paper did was lo republish what Ihe Savannah paper said, so that the tacts might speak for themselves We have no desire to run down Savannah. There is room enough in tho world for her and us. But we see no barm in letting this people know whal Savannah is doing, at a time when business of every kind in Charleston is prosperous in the extreme. Spirit of the State Pren?. -The Lancaster Ledger " cannot speak too "highly of the course" of Hie Conservative members of the Legislature, and highly com? mends their "diligence and attention," by which "much has been effected for the com " mon welfare" and the "acrimony of party " materially abited." -The Columbia Union looks tor a prosper? ous business year in Soulh Carolina. The merchants show signs of evident thrift, and farming is "as profitable as lo any State in tbe " Union, If not more BO." All things consid? ered, the prospect Is an unusually bright one. -The Edgefleld Advertiser will enter Into no argument to uphold the tax for the Spar tanburg and Aiken Railroad, but simply says that "If the people vote this tax, and it ls duly 11 passed, duly collected and duly paid up, the " railroad will certainly be built." -The Chester Reporter gives Its honest opinion of President Grant's inaugural ad? dress, which 11 will take rank below anything " that ever came from the pen of an Amerl " can President.
