COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Horning, June 8.1869. CLAIMS OM MEXICO.-It is stated that American claims against Mexico, to tho amount of 800,000,000, xviii be presented before the commission appointed to ad? just" such claims. No doubt this amount will bo vastly reduced, yet a good many millions aro certain to bo allowed, enough unquestionably to bo considered by tho Federal Government ns authorizing a demand on Mexico for the transfer of any portion of her territory that may be demanded. How many .slices of Mexico will tbo Government take? And from what portions of her body will it carve thom? asks the Louisville Courier-Jour? nal. Will it cut off a few rump-steaks, or be satisfied only with "the pound of flesh nearest the heart?" General Rosen Bcranz, our Minister to Mexico, proposed ?ki a lute communication to the Govern Kaent at Washington that we should ne? gotiate with Mexico for a couple of her States, paying her a few millions in gold, ' which she grently needed. Tho worthy old General didn't seem to know how easily wc could take whatever of Mexico we might want without the trouble >of raising the gold. Tho General is an old fogy- _ (fc^EuMOBED Vriii-AiNT.-A Washington T>ecial to the New York Times, a radical frgnn, says that Secretary Boutwell, of tao Treasury Department, proposes to order the returns of the sales of confis lated property in the Southern States to e overhauled, having lenrned that some the United States officers have pur? sed such property sold nuder their "Viority at low prices and then neglect Ctlo account for the scauty proceeds. W\havo no doubt that official villainy J hnsUken this form among many others, ^flroNre shall bo greatly disappointed if wo, find that Boutwell or any one else ut Washington has the virtue nod the nerve to make or bring about an exposure of the rascality and tho rascals. It is be? lieved that a large amount of peculation iu that lino could be discovered in South Carolina with but little trouble. THE "DECENCY PASTY."-At tho late Radical Stato Convention in Tennessee, while in the midst of tho session, Mr. David Nelsou bud a fisticuff fight with one of tho three chairmen (Congressman Butler.) Pistols ami knives were drawn by tho frieuds of tho respectivo parties, j and had it- not been for the active inter ? fereuce of the police, there would have Ab con a general melee, with n great loss of P*ufe. Both Nelsou and Butler were ar r? treated. ' As a specimen of tho elegance of the. convention, take tho following, from the speech of Captain Hathaway, of militia fame, in reply to Colonel Brownlow. He said: "Don't say any moro of your G-d d-d stuff. If you want nie to fight, by G-d, I'm in. If nothing else will do you, and you must havu a d-d rebel, fctput N. B. Forrest in nomination, and vote for him in spite of h-1. By G-d, men, I want it. distinctly understood that I've got a milt in me big enough to wrap twice around my body, und tie in a knot behind my back, with tho ends lapping down upon tho calves of my legs; and G-il d-ii mo to bell if I eau bo howled down by any set of mou." This is one of tho representatives of what calls itself tho "decency party." EXPENSIVE ITEMS FOB A REPUBLICAN COUKT.-Modern economy is un expen sive luxury. Just examine one speci? men. Under Andrew Johnson there was a very clever official, named Cushaw, who acted ns grund usher to the Presi? dent. For Si,OOO a year ho consented to take tho whole White Hou.so on his shoulders. For that modest sum be was content to bear tho abuso of countless vis tors and to repay all with uniform politeness aud courtesy. How is it under President Grant? There is Dent, full Brigadier, with a salary of $5,000 per annum; Crook receiving Si,GOO; Price, likewise, $1,0 )0; young Douglass $2,500; Adams (not George NV., but un Other man.) $1,G00; and Sitnmuods, a gentleman of color, $00 per month for simply bearing eards of visitors from thc eminently polite Dent to the President's private office. All theso officials com? bined discharge tho duty which Cushaw monopolized under President Johnson. In other words, it now requires $13,380 to accomplish the laborous busi? ness of attending tho White Houso visit? ors, while it only cost $1,000 under Johnson. There is nothing like econo? my. Not long ngo, in ono of our New Eng? land towns, n woman entered a probate office with four little "hopefuls," and with a countenance that would do justice to hard days, commenced ber truly af? fecting appeal: "Please, your Honor, my husband died detested, and left lour little infidel children, and appointed me exedutioner, and 1 pray your lordship will allow me to execute the deed." General Cunby refuses to accede lo thc petition of tho Colored Men's Conven? tion requesting him to issue an order giving colored people equal right s in cars and steamboats. Ho says tho courts only Iiavo authority lo redress such grievances. Mrs. D. W. Goeljon, of Charleston, was so badly barned by the explosion of a kerosene lamp, on Sunday evening, thal ber life is despaired of. Personal Property In Richland County.

D. ...Tile Disappointed Wegro." Mn. EDITOR: On tho 4th of Juno, tho anticipation of Governor Scott's visit to Greenville, for the purpose of inaugurat? ing tho recently erected college, gave rise among the colored sex to the expectation of ono of the grandest and sublimest jubilees and feasts of the present day. Even as far as fifty miles around the whole raco was over-joyed at tho idea of such a treat. However, on tho appoint? ed evening, tho colored bund, followed by numberless crowds, approached tho depot, arrayed in nil tho grandeur of a kiug. After impatiently wuiting for some moments, the train arrived-un? fortunately, not baviug had tho honor of bearing the Governor's person. At this news, the whole crowd was struck speechless with disappointment. lu a few moments, as tho crowd dispersed, among the rnuny ngouiziug cries of the multitude, was heard tho oath and damns of an aged uucle, who was shout? ing aloud his much lamented loss, de? claring that ho was a poor, hard-working negro, and that he had but one turkey in tho whole world, and to think that he had plucked her from thc nest of four? teen eggs, ou which she had so faithfully sat for three long weeks, and prepared her for the sole purpose of tho Governor himself; and he had so sorely disap? pointed him. In this death-like horror, he could only be calmed by the soothing voice of his dear wife, who, amid these shouts, had chanced to fall in his arms, telling him that, as Sunday was only one day off, they would invito their good old pustor, and partake of the feast which the Governor himself might havo so easily enjoyed. S. Tlic Dying Request of nu Old Man. EDITOR EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER: I nm au old man, (60 years of tige,) and I feel that the time will soon como when I must die, and consequently it behooves mo to "sot my house in order." I have but littlo of this world's goods, but still 11 wish to make a will, and ns I do not wish that will recorded iu the Ordinary's office, (for reasons unnecessary to men? tion.) I beg of you to publish tho fol? lowing clause of my will in advance in tho Adrerliser: 1st. Shonld I die suddenly, or by vio? lent means, I pray to be spared from un inquest to bo held by Phil. Eichelberger und his sable brethren; for I cnn only thiuk of that contemptible cr?ature in connection with tho unfortunate donkey that drew Phil's miserable effigy across tho public square on tho evening of the 26th instant. L. In the case of James Weaver, a citizen of Texas, tried for murder, convicted and sentenced to bo hung, by a military commission, Attorney-General Hour IIUH given au opinion, in which he re? views tho reconstruction laws and the duties of commanding officers, and says: "As the State of Texas had not, in Sep? tember, 1868, and hus not since, adopted a constitution in conformity with the provisions of tho Act of Congress, und has not become entitled to representa? tion in Congress, tho Act was operative in Texas nt thc timo the military com? mission was orgaui/.ed for the trial of Weaver, and tho commanding general exercised tho discretion entrusted to him by tho third section, by deciding that it wus necessary that a military commis? sion should bo organized for the trial. If, therefore, tho statute of March 2, 1867, is u constitutional and valid stat nf o, it theu appears that the jurisdic? tion of the said military commission was complete, and that there is no legal ob? stacle to the execution of the sentence." The Attorney-General maintains that tho right of war did not necessarily termi? nate with tho cessation of activo and actual hostilities, and not until the work of restoring tho relations of peace shall have been nccorapished, can it bc so con? sidered. It is for Congress to determine when the war has so for ended that the work can be safely and successfully com? pleted. Tho Attorney-General sees no reason in law for withholding the Presi? dent's approval of the findings. During Iiis argument, tho Attorney-General said: "Jt is obvious that Congress, nuder ! the Constitution, has no right in time of pence, lo subject any citizen of a State to trial and punishment by military I power." ? Experience of ? Wunderer througH tb? Sewers of New York-Recovery of Vs? la?bl<j Property-Horror? ander tb? Streets, ete. In ibe Nineteenth Ward, bordering on the East River, cnn bo seen a very neat little two-story frame bouse, covering almost un entire square, surrounded by a beautiful garden, tho occupant and owner of which, though a German, ie what we call one of tho self-made men of Now York, and ranks among the wealthiest. Though n man of little or I no education, it would make one's blood ran cold to listen to his daring exploits, and the many adventures that ho hos passed through under the streets of our city. Some fifteen years ago, he landed in this country, u perfect stranger, and with but little money. This he had the pleasing satisfaction, if such we may call it, of being robbed of on his very first night in the city, at a German boarding house in Greenwich street. His vocation at home was that of a night-scavenger, and ho was not long in procuring a situ? ation in the sumo business in this city. For fivo years ho followed the same as au employee, which enabled him to ?avo considerable monoy. During tho time, he had frequently found many valuables, and so persistently wero applications made to search for lost property, that ho conceived tho idea of working the sew? ers of our streets in its search. Ho had ; also become quite accustomed to sowers, as ho had frequently beeu compelled to clean them out, and was as much ut homo in these narrow and filthy passage? ways as upon tho streets. The leading contractors in the above business found bim so valuable aud so daring au ex? plorer that they wore continually calling his services into requisition. There is hardly a sewer ou tho island in which ho has not been; and ho seemed to take a great interest in watching the building of new sewers and drains. He knows their size, length, every turn and crook, their inlets and outlets, and claims to have many haunts below the ground, where, by the force of water, vuluables that aro lost arc sure to settle oro they eau bo carried out into the river, lt will bo remembered it was but a few weeks ago that a man was arrested iu Hoboken with quito a number of valuable articles in a basket, and it was discovered that I bc had got them out of the sowers of1 New York. Now, many presumed that this was a new business, tho like never having boen heard of before, yet this is :iot so. There are quite a number, mostly Germans, who follow this same business; but they aro very careful not to divulge thu same, as it is saul they are 1 making an independent fortune, lt is a regularly established business in Frauce j aud Germany, and in many places they j pay so much for tho proceeds of the sewers. It is said that there have been those who have tried to accustom them? selves to the business, but who were un allie, in many instances, to endure thc j unhealthy odor aud poisonous gases. Tho first trip ever taken by our in? former along the sowers of the city was on Conrtlandt street, iu search of a pocket-book that had been lost ia tho sink of one of the prominent hotels on that street, and which contained if 1,350 in money, and' drafts and notes to the umouut of $23,000. Tho sink had beeu searched, but all efforts to recover the lost property wore fruitless; it was evi? dent that it had been washed out into tho main Bewer, and the owner offered the whole amount of money iu cash, ?1,350, should it bo recovered. Her? mann, for ns such he was known among his associates, concluded to work the street sewer that night and seo if it was possiblo to find the same. That night, accompanied by two others, ho equipped himself in a full rubber suit, a revolver, a hook, a dark lantern, nud a sieve' shovel. Descending, at tho first opening, ' which was about a block below the hotel, i ho set out on bis journey on his hands und knees through the dismal passage way. He had no sooner got well under I way, the powerful light from the dark lantern affording him plenty i f light,1 when he carno face to face with ono of' tho largest dock rats that ho had ever seen. Tho power of tho light seemed to stagger the rat for a moment, when Hermann drew his pistol aud shot him dead. Ho then resumed operations, and sifted after mud and filth as he went along. Thc first thiug of note that he found was tho body of a still-born, about i three or four months old. On lifting it, I it was so much decomposed that it fell l apart, A little further, bo picked up a silver watch, with a common cord tied ' to it, and it had evidently been some limo in the sower. Keeping on, bo soon picked up two silver table-spoou.s, one bearing tho word "National," and evi? dently belonging to tho hotel of tho samo name, which is located on the samo street; ho also picked up part of i an old silver urn. As ho lifted tile piece of tiru be felt something heavy against it, which ho nt first imagined to bo a pieco of board; but when taking it out, lo and behold 1 it was the identical lost pocket-book. All was found safa within; but wet through and through. Being unable to turn in tho sewer, ho was forced to back out; and in n sliort time be was at the opening, and in if few mo? ments found himself safe on terrafirma. Returning home, ho dried tho bills, notes and pupers; and tho following morning handed over tho bookand con tents to their owner, who fairlj jumped with joy at their recovery. M?ien told how it had been recovered, ho could hardly believe it. The $1,350was paid over to Hermann, receiving, besides an order for a new suit of clothed from the proprietor of the hotel. Th? most extended journey iver mads by Hermann was through Viney street j sewer to Broadway, thence td Barclay, j und down Barclay to tho outlet at the j i river. On Vesey strcot he picked up ' numerous spoons of every description, j ? especially in tho vicinity of tho Astor House, and tho case of a gold watch, j I Ho also found a broken bracelet, a dirk- , ; knife, and a pair of gold spectacles. Oil i j Broadway ho found a neat oVoss-branded . ' dirk, und on Barclay street picked up : I . V. : \ over forty dollars in money.* Some two years after the aboVo journey, ho made another tour over tho sarno route, and found a lady's purse Wntaiuing $107 in gold, also an old pocket-book, with eighty-foir cents in it\ . ?n the spring of 1864, ho was cnlled upc to recover a heavy gold wedding ring, that had been dropped down a sink by a Indy, and who seemed almost dis? tracted over its loss. Money was no ob? ject if the ring could bo recovered. Tho sink was cleansed, but no ring could be found. Tho sewer was accordingly visited that night, and after a diligent search of the passage-way leading from tho dwelling to tho main sower tho ring was found, after nearly two hours' hard work. Ho was made a present of $200 for hil trouble, besides what was awarded his associates. During the ten years that Hermann | followed the above life, ho states that, nt times, ho found over 300 still-born in? fants in the various sewers of tho city. As a general thing, ho would bring them out nt the opening at the river, ywJ wou d receive a certain amount fromvX Corrners for such bodies, while thVJ woud be a bonefit to the Coroner finan cialll for holding an inquest on th? samT The press seldom took uolice of stiel trifling cases. In fact, it was very mn that publicity was given to any of theo. Chambers street, he states, was thogreatest on record for flndiug still boa infants. He never visited it but ho i wassnre to como across one or two, and j sonetimes ns many ns five or six. Tho ont reason he accounts for there being BO nany on the abovo street was that I thtc was located in that street ono of I til most noted abortionists ever known ; iulhis country, and in whose house hun- j duds and hundreds of females have been j oprated on, and abortions produced, j To siuk was, of course, used to carry oj and conceal that which would have opa been a human being. Tho woman i ?to then occupied the building now re? sins in ono of tho most costly mansions j or Fifth Avenue, where she" carries on ! tl? same btisiuess, but only eaters for Ilise of wealth, and who can pay her th highest prices for her services. Any pllisunt afternoon she can bu saun rilling on ou Central Park in her carriage, and ; of ti accompanied by some delicate yong woman who has been a victim to': ht hellish practice. no night Hermann determined to! in ;e n tour from river to river. Ho en- 1 ted ono of the large sewers outlier Nfth Uiver sido and carno out ut the milli of Maiden Laue sewer; at ono p :e lie came in contact with hot steam i'm a boiler, but it being Sunday, it did a amount to much, and bo passed it ? ?n little or no trouble. During the j. racy he found any quantity of things - poons without number, a silver cup, I ) rings, a liquor-flask, a new pocket lok, empty, a bundle of lawyer's pa? p's, a necklace, and any number of \: ros of coin. [JVCM? York Sunday Mercury. X writes from Washington to tho Bal tiioro Gazelle the following: Tho onslaught of tho Third Auditor i iou whilom Confederates, for old nc ( Mutabilities, threatens a singular de? filement. Like tho appointment of :ewart to the post, of Secretary of the reasury, it is now seen that many up j 3?ntments of our excellent Excellency ave been made in tho very teeth of ositive enactments. I consequently have j> say that tho zealous nnd punctilious iiireuu officer has been advised to be nore particular hereafter, and seo that ie treads on no radical corns. The case >f Longstreet is in point: There is a di? rect law of Congress (which I hopo no me at this late date will dispute) that no iefaulter of the Government shall be eligible, while such, to uuy office what? ever, civil or military, under tho General Government. It is beyond question that General Longstreet left the Government service abruptly, and in its debt, ns shown by tho books of tho accounting officers. At tho time of bis late appoint? ment, ho was, therefore, a defaulter. It has been tho practice, heretofore, to ex? amine such records before appointment. Tho question now presented is whether, under tho tenure-of-oilice Act, tho mis? chief dono by tho Third Auditor can be remedied, lt is admitted on all hands, that tho appointment of the General as Surveyor at thu port of New Orleans, is void, under thfe circumstances. What tho Attoruey-Giuerul will have to decide, (ho will shortly dtuve his hands full,) is whether the President has the power, j under the Act referred to, to "suspend" 1 for a period, beef, but sufficiently long to enable a mau to "pony up," and then re-appoint the same person; and if so, whether tho Confederate General must not necessarily disgorge tho salary for pay ho has alrealy received. THE CASE OF SHE ARMAND BROTHERS, I The cuso of the United States against tho Armaud Brothers, who built ships for tho Southorii Confederacy and sold them after tho dioso of the war, is soon to como up again before tho French Court, of Appeais. The United States Government lias retained M. Jules Favre i in placo of M. Berryer, deceased, as its principal counsel Tho cast? was decided adversely to tho lluited States in a lower Court on tho grcund that some of the material ovidenC-i against tho Armands consisted of documents which had been stolen from theil. Tho United States authorities havo mpplied other evidence to cover the same point, nnd tho matter is to bo heard from the beginning. "Don't t/ilk to [me about that man," j said a New York BO V?n ne ollieer, in alln- j sion to a prominent Democrat, tho other day; "ho's a confounded copperhead-j nn enemy to his country."
