COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, Augnat 4, 1870. The Opening Affair at Saarbr?cken. Tbis may be regarded the opening fight of the French-Prnssian war. The French took the initiative, and, witb Napoleon at the head, moved on tho Prussian fortifications at Saarbr?cken and carried them. As Saarbr?cken is on the railroad, between Metz and May onco, where tko Prussians are said to have their headquarters, it would seem that a deoisive fight may take place in and about Mayence. Saarbrucken is only eleven milos boyond Metz, where Napo? leon seems to have his headquarters. The Democracy und Reform. Wo observe that the Sumter News con? tinues its assaults upou tho reform move? ment-its supportera and its measures. Under tho guiBO of orthodox Democracy, it ventures to assail a3 well tho motives as the acts of approved citizens who have deemed it their duty to seek tho good of the State under the banner of reform. We desire to make two observations upon this matter. The first is, that we do not recognize the right of the Nc ic s to speak for tho Demooraey of South Carolina. The News is porfcotly welcome to its own views and opinions, but it represents, in our judgment, very few Democrats in the State, when it seeks ta array opposition to the high purposes and patriotic ends that the reformists have in view. Thc reform movement can havo no opposi? tion from a wiso and progressive Demo? cracy, eithorin this State or elsewhere. And it has no such opposition. At tho North as well as in the South, the pre? sent effort to relieve tho State is approv? ed by unprejudiced mon and jouruals of both parties. Even "Brick Pomeroy," of the Now York Democrat, can see tho wisdom of seeking to array all tho ho? nesty and intelligence of the State for tho good of tho [State. But tho Sumter News, in its extreme Democracy, without argument to convince, but with only in? sinuations to make, deems it its duty to disparage tho reform movement, aud thus to placo itself* side by side with the most approved radical sheets in thc land. Our socoud point is, to suggest to the News that its efforts to prejudice, in the minds of tho people, those citizens who are the movers in this effort to redeem the State, will meet with au ignominious failure. The people . will compare the efforts of the News with the efforts of the reformists, aud it will not take long to .decide between the two. The News will find itself condemned even in its own house-will be weighed iu tho ba lanco of patriotism and fouud wanting. Tho reform movement iu South Caro? lina-let us say it ouce for ull-is a movement to relieve South Carolina in her dire extremity. It folds thc banners of par!;/ iu South Carolina, and appeal? ing to. the honesty, thc worth, the pro? perty and the intelligence of the State, it seeks to bring ou n broad and liberal platform every good citizen of the com monwealtb, who feels the need of docent and impartial government. Every honest Democrat and every honest Republican, ever}- honest white man aud every honest negro man may fairly unite in this local effort to reform local abuses. Least of all-let tho News boar in mind-can tho Democracy of South Carolina oppose a movement that seeks the very ends that a regularly organized aud sensible Demo? cracy would havo in view, viz: thc Stato's good aud equal and exact justice to all.

Tradewell, Esq., City Attorney: Tho Stnto, ex rclatione J. M. Blakely aud James K, Friday vs. tho City Council of Columbia.-Suggestion in Prohibi? tion. To Hon, John Alexander, Mayor of thc City of Columbia. Sm: Tho above is tho title of tho case in wbioh is involved the validity of the ordinance of tho City Council of Colum? bia, of 19th January, 1860, eu titled "An ordinance regulating tho weighing of cotton in tho city of Columbia." air. J. M. Blakely and Mr. Janes K. Friday violated this ordinance in buying cotton and weighing it themselves, upon their own scales, without the intervention or supervision of n__public weigher, and therefor were fined-Mr. Friday, iu ono case, and Mr. Blakely, in four. For the collection of theso fines, city executions were issued and were about to bo en? forced, when notice of an application to the Court for a prohibition to restraiu the officer, was served and suggestion in prohibition, Betting forth tho grounds of the application, filed. Tho motion was argued before bis Honor, Samuel W. Melton, on yesterday, 20th Joly, instant, for tho relators by Mr. Pope aud by my? self for the city ; au oral judgment, ad? verso to the City Council, was at once delivered and a writ of prohibition granted. I gave notico of an appeal to the Supremo Court, and shall present ! the question to that tribunal, asking for a reversal of Judge Melton's opinion, unless I receive from you instructions tc I the contrary. You will recollect that I tho ordinance which has thus been tem? porarily overthrown by Judge Meltou, if not the outgrowth of tho present Mayoi and Aldermen of tho city. It was passed on tho 10th of January, I860, under thc administration of the Hon. John McKen? zie, aud, as I have heard, at thc solicita tiou of the Columbia Board of Trade, ol which the relators were and still arc members. So that whether thc judg ment of Judge Meltou against its legality stand or fall, neither your Board HOI their Attorney can bo visited with rc boko for its passage. With a very suf ticient deference for tho learning anc ability of Judge Melton, I nm of opinior. that he has erred in judgment in tbi; case as to the law pertaiuiug to it, to thc grievous injury of the city and in dau gerous derogation of its rightful powers Sot so much, therefore, to sustain th< ordiuauco of January, 1860, as to vindi cato tho general and essential authority of the Mayor and Aldermen of the cib of Columbia, whoever they may be, al conferred by thc statutes of tho State do I advise au appeal to tho Suprnmi Court for a review of the opinion of tin Circuit Judge. It will be remembered that I gave nt opinion to you in favor of the legality o this ordiuauco; to which I still hold, ant with a greater confidence iu its correct uess after tho closest study of tho ques tiou. It will not seem strange, there fore, that I cannot surrender it, becausi a Circuit Judge, for whose learniugl en tertaiu thc greatest respect, wlthou study, bas pronounced oguiust it. Tho first Act passed by tho Legisla turo, relative to tho weighing of cottoi aud other articles sold by woight in th Columbia market, bears date 18th Dc comber, 1827, and tho first ordiuauco o thc to ^u, on the same subject, was pass ed by tho Intendant and Wardens vor soon afterwards, although its renewal i dated 26th April, 1851. That Act an ordinance aro admitted by tho relators t be valid iu every respect, and now i force. The next and last act on the sui jeet was passed on tho 21st of Decembei 1S?1, and the next and last ordiunnco o tho 10th January. 1860; and, on cxami nation, it will be found that those acl precisely correspond, tho oue with th other, and that tho ordinances of 1851 and I860, arc identical iu spirit and pm puso, and scarcely can be distingnishe in tho letter. And yet, his Hourn I Judge Meltou, w hile sustaining tho fire act and ordinance, has overthrown th last. F pou what subtlety of reason inf, or rule o? construction, I frankly say, am unable to discover. What most astonished mo was tho ar uounccment by his Honor of the opit i ion, that w hile under tho Acts of thc Li gislaturo referred to, thc City Connc havo tho right to establish public scab houses, and scales aud weights tbrougl j out the city, yet, that they havo n power to compel, by ordinance, nuy pc son to havo bis cottou, or anything elsi brought to thc Columbia market fe salo by woight, to bo woighed thereon li the public weighers. So that your publ scales at the market, tho superintcndei ;O? which is your Clerk of thc Market, 0 which fodder, hay, oats, Sec., havo been t compulsorily weighed for nearly half a i century, under an ordinance never ns- ] sailed until this day of disreputable fae- J tion, may ns well be blown up. Now, nn- ! dor this astounding judgment, a very il- ; lustrions success for the relators, the old condition of things of opportunities for fraudulent weighing by tho disboucst trader, which originally produced the , act and ordinauco of 1827 aud 1851, and the subsequent act aud ordiuauco of 1 185? and 18G9, is restored, aud tho pinn- I dering trafficker may despoil tho honest , farmer of his products by falso weights } with insolent impunity. Tho only pro? tection for tho producer, who comos into ' this market to soil aud buy by weight, is < the immediate onforccmeut of tho ordi? nance of 1851, which authorizes tho Chief of Police to tost thc acouracy of i scales and weights of every description , throughout thijoity, by tho publie scales and weights now iu uso in it; a very im? perfect protection indeed, but it is tho * only ouo obvious to my mind at this mo- i meut. i The ordinance referred to has been ( euforccd with good effect. It might be well, however, to review nod revise it, before action is tukeu under it. < It will bo seen that I speak plainly on this subject, because my duty to you and the honorable body over which yon prc- I side, and to tho public, whoso organs yon are, requires me to do so; and I cannot close this communication without asking tho qucstiou: Why is it that an ' ordiuauco of the city ou this important subject, which was held good, and valid, and expedient by the wdiolo community for a length of time, nuder ono set of cit}' governors, has suddenly become, under their legitimate successors, vicious, unwise and hurtful to trade aud com? merce. I have tho honor to be, very re? spectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES D. TB ADE WE LL, City Attorney. COLUMBIA, July 21, 1870\ Alderman Wallace introduced tho fol? lowing resolution, which was adopted: Whereas, on ;."?riug tho communica? tion of Jamos D. Tradcwcll, City At I tornoy, informing the Council of tho de I cisi?n of his Honor Judge Melton, adverse to tho power of thc City Council to pass tho ordinauco of 19th January, 18C9, concerning cotton weighers and cotton weighing iu the city of Columbia; therefore, bo it Resolved, That the City Attorney be instructed to curry the qucstiou to tho Supremo Court for final judgment. Ou motion of AIdornia.ii Wigg, at 8 p. m., Council adjourned. WILLIAM J. ETTER, Clerk of Council. BISMARCK EXPLAINS THE SECRET TREA? TY.-Tho Berliu Anzeger publishes a circular as addressed by Count ?Bis? marck on tho 20th instant to tho repre? sentatives of Prussia at tho Courts of uoutral powers. The document gives tho following expose of tho secret nego? tiations between Franco aud Prussia: Before tho Danish war, says Count Bis? marck, the French Legation at Berliu urged au alliauce between Franco and Prussia for purposes of mutual aggran? dizement. France, anticipating a war with Austria as a couseqneuce of the Danish war, rundo overtures relativo to tho restoration of tho Luxembourg of 1811, the acquisition of Saarburg and Laudara, while a broader scttlomeet of the boundary question was not to bo in? cluded. These instances in May, 18GG, took the form of propositions for au alliance offensive and dofensivo, tho original manuscript of which is in the foreign offico here. These propositions aro as follows: First. Should a congress of the powers assemble, Italy is to havo Venetia and Prussia tho Dutchies. Secoud. Should thc congress disagree, au alliauce, olTcusivo aud defensive, is to bo mado between Franco aud Prussia. Third. . Prussia to open hostilities against Austria within ten days after thc dissolution of the congress. Fourth. Should no congress meet, Prussia to attack Austria withiu thirty days after thc signature of tho present treaty. Fifth. Napoleou to begiu hostilities against Austria as soon as Prussia begins, despatching 300,000 mon during thc first month across tho Rhino. Sixth. No separate treaty shall bo mado by either powers with Austria when the joint treaty is made. Thc following aro to be tho condi? tions: First. Venetia to go to Italy. Second. Prussia to scloat German ter? ritory at will for annexation, tho num? ber of inhabitants not to exceed $8,000, 000. Tho territory thus acquired to be como part of tho kingdom of Prussia without fedoral rights. Third. Franco to havo a liberal share of tho Rhiuc provinces. Fourth. A military aud maritime alli? ance to be made with Franco, to which Italy may bc a party shall she so desire. This programme, tho circular states, was rejected in 1SGG, in spito of tho threatening urgency of Franco. Pro? posals were incessantly ronowod, with modifications sacrificing Belgium and South Germany, but they were never seriously entertained by Prussia. For the snko of poace, however, it was thought best to leave Napoleon to his delusions, aud a noto implying approval was returned. Timo was counted on to revolutionize France rind extinguish the scheme-hence thc long delay and silence. The attempt against Luxembourg fail? ing, France repeated her former propo? sition, making tho specifications clear iu regard to tho acquisition of Belgium by France-, and South Germany by Prussia. These last propositions were formulated by Count Bcucdctti himself, aud it is improbable that he wroto them without the authority of tho Emperor, as they aro the sumo w hich were made four years ago nuder tho threat of war us au alter ! native of their refusal. ? Any one acquainted with thc antecc lents, must Im vc known tbat had Prussia loquiescnd in tho seizure of Belgium, ? France would soou have found another Belgium in* Prussian territory.
