COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, February 20,1870. Too Muon SiTiYEB.-Canada, it is said, is fairly groaning under ita load of sil vor. Too muck bard cash is bringing ruin upon her farmers, upon her laborers. Silver is at a fearful disconnt. The shop-keeper who tskes in forty or fifty dollars a day can not deposit it in hank without submitting to a ?have of many per cont. Relief fa prated for, and it seems is about to come iu the shape of a fractional currency-a remedy worse than the disease. California groans nnder its load of gold, while most of the Northern States groan under their load ol depreciated currency. The South groan for both, neither gold, nor silver, nor ourrenoy, being in sufficient quanti? ties to parchase her produce as in the bette? days o2 tho ropubiic. . . Poor Mexico 1 All doubt of her fate is removed. Tho un fortunato country is doomed ijd another bloody civil war, and even the friends of Juarez admit that the catastrophe cannot be long averted. Five States are now in open insurrection -and the ceotral government is powerless. Very gloomy forebodings of the futuro fill tho columns of the Vera Crae papers. l*e next steamer at Savana moy bring the news pf the downfall of President Juarez and the reign of anarchy all over the land. In exchanging Maximilian for Juarez the Mexicans got back their republic, but not pence or good govern? ment. DOLL Trna va Nsw YOBK.-A gen? tleman who waa in New York last week states that trade is very dull there this winter in nearly all branches of mercan? tile business. While at the custom honse, on Tuesday last, he was told that no vessel bsd arrived from a foreign port for tbs forty-eight hours preceding-a circucnutanco that had not occurred be? fore for the past twenty years. There were, at the time, nearly 100 Govern? ment inspectors waiting employment, in consequence of the small number of ves? sels arriving. ->i? ? > THE MISSING CBOWN JEWEILS OF SI'AIN. A report comes from Mexico that tho crown jewels of Spain, which huve been missing for some time, are in pawn at the National Monte de Piadad, in the city of Mexico. These precious articles are not to be seen by ordinary visitons to that establishment; but the story is that they were shown to Mr. Seward uud one or two members of his party. They iu clude the jewels that were pawned by Isabella-not the Isabella of the period, but the othor-to fit out Columbus on his voyage to discover America. A por? tion it not all the jewels that have been added to the Spanish crown since that j time ure with them, and the entire lot has. boon pledged as collateral fur a loan to somebody. The amount of the lonu , and the name of the party who nogo- ' t iated it are not given. .'SOCIAL EVILS."-A lady writes l<> the j Herald to say : "I have visited Europe frequently, and haye dwelt in London, Paris, Switzer-, land and Germany; and on my return to j this oity, about four years since, shall oever forget how shocked I felt at the contrast of the style of dress between the ladies in the above named countries and hore. Youth and age herc exhibited to my eyes about the same amount of nudity, while innate modesty would have thought the neocssity of covering certain portions of the form which are i calculated to excite the pissious but not the respect of mon. "In good society abroad 1 never saw such an abortion of dress as hero, und many times I felt sad as regarded this want of delicacy iu costume, aud havo with many friends talked over and over again if it were possible we could ohaugo it. Wo saw no way open, ns private ladies, except by our condemnation, whenever opportunity served, and this unfortunately would make us enemies, and as by adoption (though English) I am an American, I should regret this, though my advice for a better sta to of things would be given from tho heurt, moro 'in sorrow than in anger.' Instead of the womon in this city turniug their attention to the performance of duties devolving upon them as wives aud mis? tresses of their homes, they, ignorant as they are, leave all such to servants, who aro still more ignoraut, and perceiving tho want of knowledgo in the ludies whom they aro expected to serve, tako advantage of this, and assume that of which they know nothing. Hence, those who biro them becomo in tho power of tue domestics, und this is ono of the secrets, too, of 'bad servants.' The only desire the women seem to aspire to is to gratify the admiration of men, regardless of family tics, connec? tions or positions in life." "GONE TO THE Doos."-Count Vil lard, a celebrated French sportsman, who died reoantly, left a will directing that he should be buried by tho side of some of his old hounds, to whom he had erected a monument, and loft a sum of 60,000 francs, for tho ereotiou of a hand? some mausoleum, within which uro to bu disposed tho statues, busts und othor works of ort at his chateau, together with ull the poi trait? bf his female friends. A further sum, sufficient to product) 2,000 francs a year, is to be set aside for tho salary of a keeper of the mausoleum. i i, Mme*m**am i - Q>nw|p?>i??>i) tte? FteeesiU. WABHTSOTCW, P. C., F?bm?r; 16.1870. Time? are heed ia tb* city, like they, are in all other paTU of the ?ountry. The poor are |mfferij?, for the want of work, and, oonsequemly, for the nodes sariearcf life yet there never bia been a gayer or a more extravagant society aasembled in Washington. There have never becu moro parties and receptions than have boon heh! during the present winter. The wives of heads of depart? ments and bureaus, icc, dress iu the most extravagant style. Some have means, aonie havo none. Th OHO who have none, of conree, must expect the perquisites of their oflico to make up all deficiencies. An administration is re? sponsible, in the capital, for the morals of the peoplo, to some extent, but always for the extravagance in mode of living and of dress. Example ia derived from the fountain source; and when tho heads lavish their means in flue clothes, in diamonds and jewelry and in splendid entertainments, what can you expeot from subordinates but corresponding extravagance and a constant tendency to run in debt and live beyond their means? The administration started ont under a pledge of reform and retrench meut, but example of private economy would be a better guarantee of honesty of purpose than the lavish profligacy that the capi? tal baa been plunged in during tho pre? sent session of Congress. Somebody must pay for all these magnificent enter? tainments, and that somebody is most likely to bethe people; but if tho people never find it out, then, truly, will "igno? rance be bliss." It was agreed, at the meeting of tho Ways and Means Committee, yesterday, to report au amendment to tho general tax bul, providing that the Internal Re? venue Bureau be made a separate depart? ment, independent of the Tieasury, and its chief constituting one of the Cabinet. There was barely a majority of the com? mittee in favor of such a change, and, consequently, it is thought that the House will hardly accept it. Tbc Committee on Reconstruction directed its Chairman, General Butler, to report to the House a bill, which, if it passes, tho United States District Couru will hereafter have the greater portion o! the pardoning power. The bill provide* that every citizen disfranchised by thc third section of tho fourteenth amend ment, except those who have hold com missions in the army or navy, or hav< been membors of Congress, shall bi restored to all rights of citizenship, bj applying, by a petition, to such a Cour i in auy State in which ho hud his hom? ! during the war. . j An effort is being made to have a bil introduced in Congress to authorize thc Commissioner of Patents to distribub premiums for tho best inventions in cer tain specified classes. The patent func has increased until it is now ove $500,000. This fund belongs rightfully to the inventors of tbe country. It hu accumulated from fees which they havi paid into the Pateut Office, aud is ove and above all the ozponses of that insti tution. Tho proposition is to give bael to inventors, a portion of this fund yearl; in tho shapo of promiums for their in ventivo genius and industry. Suppose $100.000 should bo set apar yearly and distributed iu 6ums of $10,00 each to inventors who should produc the best invention, with working ma chines, in ten difl'urent and distino classes, such as tho reaper, steam engine telegraph, printing press, ?to., what ai immense stimulus would bo given t inventive genius, and how wouderfull would the industrious pursuits of th country bo bonefitted. We owe our pre sent udvunced state iu the mechanic* arts entirely to tho patent system. Ye ovcry invoutor fools that if ho ever rc ulizes anything for his invention after h receives a patent from tho Government it must be dono by his own entorpris and perseverenco iu introducing il Thora is no positive assurance that b will ever be compensated for bis tim? labor und ingenuity, although there i always a strong hopo. Should the Gc verument oncourago invention by givin it some suitable reward, it would nc ouly bo doing its individual citizen justice, but would be adding to its ow wealth, and to its standing with othc nations. No ouo who is unacquainted with tl: system of patents, and with inventors t a class, can well form evon an approx mato iden of the impetus that would L given to genius throughout tho who country, by n judicious distribution < positivo sums of money for tho mo meritorious inventions or discovoriei which may bo made yearly. The pu thirty years has developed muuy wonde ful improvements in engiueu of wa means of locomotion and of communie tion of dissemiuating useful kuowledg aud hundreds of othor things whu havo raised us as a people in the scale i civilization, und national power ut wealth. Wo owe all to tho inventor, ar as there scorns to be a lull iu tho effbr of genius at present, it is tho duty of tl Governtnout to apply a stimulus, aud possible throw into tho shudo tho resnl of the past thirty years by tho brillia uchiovemcnts of tho uext thirty. Sumnor is ut his old trioks again; ho trying to ram tho "nigger" down tl throats of tho medical fraternity of tl: city. He dooires to havo negroes adm: ted to full membership in the medic society. This society, considering tl prejudices of most of its members, h been exceedingly liberal, for it licens all those without respect to color, wi apply with proper diplomas. But it do not suit Sumner that the negro is adm tod ns a licentiate only; ho wanta to ha him enjoy full membership and be < perfect social equality with the wbih His desires maj be very laudable, b the fraternity have very decided objc lions to his carrying them into effet ..Illili UH . ) .

Ben. is a wa that there it'a mint of mo*ey in a metre ; if ho can only have it adopted, and is j pressing it with his aocuatomed energy. There are thousands of distilleries and | breweries in the eonatry. and each will be required to have a metre. These j metres cost from 9500 to 81,000 each, with a very large margin for profit. He can very easily pocket a little $100,000 if be succeeds in his enterprise. These little money-making schemes aro very often induled in by members of Congress. Memborsare engaged accord? ing to their calibre in large or amall transactions. Jake Ela waa engaged nome time ago in one of thesasraall ones. He wan on the Printing and Stationery Committee, and sailed in with a Jew stationery house in opposition to one of Cn Mudie faith. He succeeded in de- j frauding the Catholic house out of about $30,000 for goods already furnished under contract, and assisted the Jews as ho thought to a very lucrative contract ni the Interior Department. The bids for this contract wore very ingeniously made. Artioles which they supposed would be little used were put down nt about one-hundreth part of their value, while those of which large quantities were needed, wore put down at a large profit. For instance, quart bottles of red ink were put down at one-eighth of a cent, por dozen. A certnin clerk, owing them no good will, ordered ninety-six bottles of?red ink. Tho parties made instant complaint, and When tho clerk was asked why he ordered so ?nany quarts of red ink, staled that he did not like to order less than a cent's worth. We don't think Jake has made much out of this contract, for bo goes around looking very seedy, and never takes a drink unless he is invited. HOMO. STATE LEGISLATl'UB. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 18T0.

A WORD TO THE WISE.-The following i hint may bo of some value to young gen ; Meinen who are being trained to the j busiucss of dunning and collecting [money: lu presenting any bill, never I urge its payment on the ground that the I creditor needs the money badly, and will I bo ruined if it is not paid. People have J very littlo respect for such piteous and : pluiutivo appeals. Say, on the contrary, ! that the creditor demands the money, ! and will have it if ho has to break yon j up and sell you ont, under the flag of ? tho sheriff. As a general thing, this manner of dealing with the subject is successful. There uro many people who are accessible to no other motive than that of fear; and the fear of merciless and relentless creditor is the most de? basing that can effect any human mind.
