The outstanding funded debt of New York tb day is (in round Agares) $18,000.000, of wbioh $26,000,000 aro payable from taxation, and the residue from a sinking fond. Tlie debt of Philadelphia is $51,000,000, with little in the way of pablio improvements to show* for it, as compared with New York. The Demo? cratic, administration in Now York aro claiming (and we doubt not justly) great credit for the effloicnt manner* ia which they have supplied that great motropolis with water. It was (says tho World) made the special boast of the om piro daring its last yours that it had suc? ceeded at an expense of about 72,000,000 ot francs, *pr largely ovor half tho entire funded debt of Now York city, payable from taxation, iii securing Paris a water supply of ?l,700,000 gallons iu twenty four hoars, for a population of 2,000,000 coals. The nba Bed and reviled Demo? cratic rulers of Now York now secure to 1^000,000 of inhabitants a daily supply of 85,000,000 gallons. There hus also been a great improvement in the system ct sewerage, and tho paving aud light? ing of tho streets. * <* ? ? -* SOUTHERNERS IN NEW YORK.-T?o de? tails of the census, wbioh, after consid? erable delay, have at last made their ap? pearance, dissipate tho generally re? ceived impression that the number of Southerner residing in tho city of New Sork has;beeu materially increased since the close of thu civil war. According to the Agares of the censuses of I860 and 1870, the citizens of Southern birth who resided in the oily in June on each of those years were as follows: 18G0 white 5,317; colored 1,799. 1870-white 5,768; colored 2,392. From these Agures it appears that while the city is eu ti rely indebted to tho South for the in?rense in the lust ten year.?, of a little over 500 Rt her colored populatiou, she had in 1870 only 45l moro Southern born whites than she bad in I860; while her total nativo population increased in the came period 03,216, and ber total foreign born population increased 33,377. The total increase* of her colored population at the same timo was 519,. while there were 593 moro Southern boru colored persons in the city ia 1870 tb an in 1860, showing that that population of other nativities had actually decreased seventy four in the decade Thc so Agures are instructive, showing as tbey do bow few Southerners Lavo deserted their homos for the allurements of the metropolis, their increase in the whito popntation being considerably below the overage THE NEW COUNTY.-Tho Greenville Enterprise contains tho proceedings of a pablio meeting, held at the residence of Capt. Henry T. Stokes, in the lower por? tion of that County, on the 10th of Juno, The object of the meeting was to take prelimiuary action toward the for? mation of a. new County from portions of Greenville, Anderson, Abbeville and Laurens. Messrs. James McCullough, Jesse French and A. W. Ramsey, were appointed a committeo to looate tho line constituting tho boundary of territory it ia proposed to take from Greenville for the said County. The citizens of Ander? son, Abbeville aud Laurena wcro re? quested to hold meetings in thoso soo tions proposing to unite in this move? ment, and to appoint similar committees for the purpose of conferring willi tho ?above named committeo at Honea Path at some future day. These committees of conference are requested to make a report of their action to public meetings in- their respectivo seotions. The object of this movement, if we are correctly advised, is to organize a County with the court house at Honea Path. With this object in view, a bill was introduced at the last session of the Legislature, and wc-presume that active exertions will be toads next winter to- carry out the pro? ject.-Anderson Intelligencer, THE TJi?

" ?OMOUXT^??i ' OBOAMZ?T??K - ''P? THONS ov H?SBANDBX."-The Masaaohu letts Ploughman, referring to the impor? tance; o|ragrio*?lture as the baals of alt, other interests,"comments appa; the;ne oessity of organization on tho:part of ita followers. This, it contends, is the lever tiiatis to lift agriculture to the pluce! where it properly belongs, as tho first amoug the recognized agencies in hu? man progress. It seems that a ruceut organization .has been started with a view to this end. This organization is termed "The Patrons of Husbandry." The Ploughman says: The readers of tho Ploughman aro fa? miliar with the investigation that has been making in these columns of late into tho character and scope of tho com? paratively recent organization, styled the "Patrons of Husbandry." From what bas been elicited, it Las become obvious that it is designed to supply the very need, on a broad national basis, which agriculturists everywhere confess the existence of. Its headquarters oro in Washington, as seems eminently pro? per; but its secret organization is spread? ing, like a net work, over the entire country. Its control purpose is to bring about tho material and moral advantages of union aud active co-operation among farmers. How such a consummation could bo secured has long been a serious question, but this socioty appears to have brought it about without noise or opposition. It is now an accomplished aud successful fact. Remarkable results, of a practical sort only, have been achieved by it. It is visibly drawing producers and consumers oloser togeth? er, dismissing to productive employment vast numbors of middlemen, and bring? ing down to a reasonable stundard tho pricos of manufactured articles that are in constant uso by agriculturists. It is establishing "Granges" in every town and village, to which men aud women are equally admitted as members, thus recognizing the real influence of woman in tho highest triumphs of agriculture. In tlio National Grange, all the Stated of the Union havo representatives. A fow facts will best illustrate tho working of this extended association of agriculturists. A single County in Illi? nois saved to the farmers last season, 815,000 on the price of farm tools. Plows that before cost from $22 to $28, aro purohased by this association at from 815 to 310. Cultivators dropped in price to the Western farmer from $30 and 835 to $21 and $20. So with trees and plants from the nurseries. The makers of farm implements are scatter? ing their circulara among the Granges, and offering the members tools nt from one-fourth to more than one-third less than the middlemen's prices. Produce .will likewise reach the market at lower rates, thus saving the difference to the farmers instead of enriohing those who scarcely trouble themselves to handle it nt all. Agents from every local Grange will find the profitable market for boef, motton, butter, cheese, eggs, fruit, groin and other staples of agriculture, and save to the agricultural class tho im? mense sums whioh the consumer help? lessly pays over to tho exacting middle? men. Here is the point where this organization speoialiy benefits the farmer; it enables bim to command the market, instead of being made the con? tinual prey of plundering traffickers, who never did a day's Work in their lives. This is the real good of organization. Tho railroad men, the iron men, tho manufacturers, the shoe and leather dealers, the coal men, the real estate men, all have their compact associations, their exchanges, boards of trade, and so forth, professedly to farther their own interests. Tho "Patrons of Husbandry" is an association, as wido as tho Union itself, whose purpose it is to do for the great mass of our agricultural popula? tion what other callings are no wise backward about doing for themselves. Its operations are to be co-extensive with tho interest of agricultura itself. The Granges of a State will be capable of sending the produce of their members to market at reduced rates of transporta? tion, choosing favorable times for sale, and saving to producer and consumer the vast amounts that are now exacted by a non-producing class from both. Such are, in outline, the objects of the association of the "Patrons of Hus? bandry." They originate with tho ne? cessities of the period, are in the inte? rest of the largest class of laborers, aud directly benefits society in all its practi? cal relations. We therefore hail it as a determined movement for the elovation of agriculture, and welcome its esta? blishment amoug the progressive agencies of our time. It cannot root itself too rapidly in the favor of the great class for whoso welfare it is spe? cially designed. Tho following is from un account of a demonstration in honor of Louis Na? poleon at Camden House, London: "The Emperor, who was visibly affected, said in reply, I feel much flattered in the re? marks now addressed to me. I feel that I Lave always been a good friend to Eng? land. (Load cries from, tho workmen, 'We know you have-you have,' ac? companied by three oheers eaoh for the Emperor, the Empress, and, as one stentorian voice called ont, ?Tho little gentleman,' moaning the Prince Impe? rial.) Tbo Emperor then shook hands very cordially with Mr. Pook, and was introduced to Mr. Brown, tho contrac? ter, Mr. Stevenc, Mr. W. R. Orchard, Mr. H, Roberta and others, upon wbioh the band struck up, 'We may be happy yat,' and the Emperor, Empress and the Prince Imperial and suite returned to the honse amid the ringing cheers of all pr?sent." A dark complexioned man, in Atlanta, recently bought a box of powder, mis? taking it for boot blacking. Ho put it on the stove to heat, and bas been iu his "little bed" ovor since. ' O?Bio?sTiiiir?s SSM? BfTOftHtt -Tttjrj OharleatoD JVoes, ia giving an account of the work of wreokers ia Charleston harbor, Bay ti that tho i ron-ol ad Hon sa to? nio lies in'tb irty-aix feet o? Water, jost over the bar, sixteen miles from the 011)7. She resta on a hard shell bottom, and lies North-west and South-east, upright on her koo). Tho water oui here is beautifully blue and clear, and the divers prosecute their work with less difficulty than at tho Weehawken. Her decks, masts and rigging havo all been eaton by the worms, and little else is now left of her but .tho huge black hull. lier propeller, shaft, ohnius and auohor aud a large portion of hor machinery have been hoisted from hor bj the machino, aud niuo two of the smaller guns com? piling her armament. Tho rest of them wero taken up hy the Governmont seve? ral years ogo. The Government lina n buoy planted about 300 yards East south-east of this wreck, which enahlos tho wreckers to guess pretty closely ns to her whereabouts. Tu render the mat? ter n certuiuty, however. Capt. Sonnies, when he leaves her to oome up to the city, marks her position with a buoy fastened to the centro of her hnli. About twenty feet South of tho wreck of the doomed ship lies the hull of her destroyer, the Coufederate torpedo boat. She has been visited by the captuiu, who reports her to ho lying bottom up? wards, and 8eemiugly iu good preserva? tion. There are no holes in her hull, and the wings of her diminutive propel? ler, now uppermost, seem to bo iu good runuing order. She did her work ef? fectually. In tho hull nu the port quar? ter of tho huge ship is a hole largo enough to drive a carriage and a pair of horses through. The heavy oaken ribs and thick planks ure blown iii with tre? mendous power, aud the Housatouio must have gouo down with but little preparation. Her diminutive but dan? gerous foe met with a Bimilar fate, aud tho two now rest iu silence, 6ide by side, ia the bottom of the sea. Under the waters the divers see curi? ous things and make curious acquain? tances. Near the surface of the waler, ou bia way down, tho diver sees sharks of enormous dimensions, which seem afraid of tho curious monster thus in? truding their domain.' The sharks are never seen at tho bottom; they keep their distauce; but thu small fry ut tho bottom are much more sociable These swim around the diver in the most in? different manner, and, with a ouriosity truly feminine, insert their noses in every orifice iu his submarine armor. Their particular amusement is to pry into the glass eyes, and at times thoy are as troublesome as the munqnitoes are to us. laud-lubbors. All varieties and im? mense quantities of these small fish feed arouud on the shells, aud their ouriosity renders them easy victims to the insiouationB of hook und bait. At night the phosphorescent sparks in the olear blue water out at the Housatooio light up the depths iu a wonderful man? ner, and the diver enjoys the illumina? tion, though ho has not, much time* for admiring tho beauties of uaturo. He stays down six hours or less, as his work renders it necessary. lu rummaging about the ship, the captain discovered several bottles of. Rhino wino and nie. He also brought a globular brass lamp and several metal mountings from officers' ?words. The captain has also in his possession a massive jaw bono. It is evidently tho lower maxillary of a man, but its size and the strength of the teeth ore wonderful. BURNED TO DEATH.-Ir? the Avalanche, of a few weeks since,* mention waa mado of the troubles of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Garrity, of Chohea, together with the happy result of Squire Miller's interpo? sition as a mediator in tho family quar? rel. Keeping a small grocory directly opposite tho brick church, they made a good living, and, beyond their frequeut family quarrels, were good neighbors. Since Squire Miller's mediation they have been getting nlong unusually well together, aud it was hoped by their neighbors that thoGarritys had conclud? ed to dwell together io peace and unison. It was merely the lull, howevor, which ofteu-times precedes tho storm, for Thursday evening, about 8 o'clock, a terrible quarrel broke out between them. They were at tho time iu the grocery-a small ouo as has been stated, which was lighted up with au oil lamp suspended from tho ceiling. After qunrroling for a time, Mrs. Garrity became highly in? censed at some remark, aud .snatching up a "pop bottle" from a box near hy, drew it up-iu a very violent manner over her hoad us if to striko Mike. She was at the time standing directly under? neath the lamp, and iu raising the bottle sho struck tho lamp, breaking it into fragments. It was ut tho timo full of oil, which, igniting, poured down over her unprotected hoad a sheet of llmuo, setting fire to her hair aud clothing. Her husband, with ono or two by-staud ers, rushed to hor assistance, but having uo blankets or anything with which to smother the tl"mes at baud, could do nothing oxoopt to tear tho clothing off her. When the fire was ?u ni ly extin? guished, she was found to bo burnt iu a most horriblo manner. The entire cuti? ?le of her iaco and body was burnt to a crisp, and as she writhed on the floor in agony, she presented a frightful sight. Duriug tho entire time a ho gave heart? rending screams, which continued until she became so weak that only low moans could bo heard. A physician was at once oiuiiiUGucd, and every luiug possible done to alleviate the Bufferings of tho dying woman. Raving incoherently all tho while, it was a relief to all when death came, about 2 o'clock, yesterday morning, Mrs. Garrity, who was about thirty years of ago, is said to havo boou quite handsome. Two littlo children aro left to mourn her sad fate, which is also uuiversally deplored by thc entire neighborhood, who, despito her many faults, held her iu esteem. [Memphis Avalanche, June 27.

Graut will, iu oase of defeat, realst by force of arm? his deposition from the Presidency, eeenia to be rapid ly extending ? throughout the country, and is moreover calculated io be pro? ductivo of mischievous results. No? thing is more impossible of contempla? tion. The least real sign of such inten? tion would arouse a storm of indignant remonstrance which would sweep him iuto oblivion before a single overt act coold be committed. As long BB the honors and emoluments of government aro open to nil, dependent only upon tho will of tho pcoplo, so long will such oh attempt prove totally abortive. Apart from all party consid?rations, the per? sonal ambitions and jealousies, of his own friends would interpose an insur? mountable obstacle. The American peo? ple would provo false to nil tho tradi? tions of history if they ever quietly con? sented to surrender tho great republican right upon which thoir Government is reurod. Even in the lalo civil war it was nover questioned. Tho difference then at issue waa one of sections, not of re? publican principles, aud ibo closo ana? logy between tho new govcrumcut thon formed and tho old oue plainly illus? trates how dear theso sentiments were to all born beneath the shadow of the old flag. This idea may bo, doubtless, pro? mulgated as a partisan trie'e, with the object of intensifying tho opposition to General Grant, but wo cannot help re? garding it as exceedingly injudicious aud calculated to prolong that apathy and disinclination to discharge public duties at tho ballot box which has already proved so disastrous to the booth.
