The oontrol of Egypt and the Suez Ca? nal appears to loom, ap as .the next great point which is to involve tho great pow? ers in "a Little unpleasantness." The Khedive of Egypt, according to a cor? respondant of the London' EcJio, nooma . to be fully alivo to auch ri prospect,.and is energetically making preparations, anticipating tro ables. Tho whole malo population ia being converted into sol? diers and instructed in the art of war. An Imperial rostfiction, limiting the number of troops, is evaded by keeping the requisite number long enough to make good soldiers, and then sending them home, filling up the ranks by new recruits, who in turn go through the samo proposa. Mr. Jay, who invented and' used ' torpedoes in Mobile 13 ay, is ; 'employed to supply j and locate these deadly instruments , in the Bed Sea, the Suoz Canal and the Mediterranean coast. Mr. Charles Knopps, a manufacturer of the Bodman gun, hos made a contract with the Egyptian Government for 120 guns and 500 rounds.emoh of ammuni? tion, and a special messenger hos been despatched to Esaeu?-with authority and ins tr uo t ions to mako a largo contract for these celebrated German guns. General Jibett is directing two factoriea in full work-ono at Bonlao and the'other in The desert, i twelve miles from Cairo, making largo quantities of ammunition -*-mak?ng ? three, kinda ol powder, ono for small arms, obs for field Bervioe and' one for fortress gnus ,of large calibre,' and finally new and extensive fortresses, covering tho approach to the canal, ?re poshed forward rapidly to completion. Petroleum, as' ? aooroe.of roven ne, was unknown ten years ago. In 1870, it bad grown .to baso important an element of commerce that, at tho average of twenty cents a gallon? homo- consumption and .' exported, ita y ala o amounted to moro than 042,000,000. The total; exports of % petroleum in 1870 reached 111,208,105 .golloaa, or thirty per oent.greater than ibo quantity exported the previousyear. - In 1860,1,500,000 gallons were exported. The homo ono gumption foi 1870 was about 70,000,000. The yu?<d of oil in the Pennsylvania ojl region ia increasing in quantity yearly, and the general trade in the artiolo is also increasing in pro? portion. ; , ?Saki1 ! .,? j *_i \ .The Charleston papers, of yesterday, oontoin lengthy accounts of thotiaenes enacted at the different registration pro oiuotg. We exkreot the following::\; .. . - ff About half -paak 7 o 'ol oo??, 'in the evening, bue,of the most serious riots, which occurred during tho day, origi? nated in . front of the guard house, in . fe Broad street. The crowd, Whroh ?was composed mostly of . colored men*, were highly excited over the/ arrest of one of ttiflir number, whori -an altercation oc? curred between .two white men.. Aa one of ' them rashed upon tho gt her, n ? negro straok him in the baok part of the ? 'bead,. and the blow precipitated tho riot. The orowd surged together, and swayed io and fro, cursing and yelling, and striking ont wildly and indiscriminately. The police were convenient, and, harry? ing pat, aoized several of the partici? pants. These were palled towards and into the' large iron gate of the guard ' h?uso. The . polioe, however, were una? ble'to close the gates against the orowd, and they rushed in. A violent struggle now ensued just within the gate, and, ns tho donsa masa moved about, tho lamp? shades quivered, and the balustrade ol the office threatened each moment to be . broken down. By degree^, the disturb? ance : grew lesa, and, aa no one knew ?whatthey were fighting about, tho par? ticipa uta soon gavo up the sport. One colored, policeman was severely out in the neck abd head, and one colored citizen was wounded in the head with o brick." , ; A nm v AIJ OF AMERICAN COTTON PH OW LavK?Pooii.-The ship Antarotio, Capt. Flynn, arrived at New York on Sunday last from Liverpool, bringing, as part ol her cargo, 100 bales of Mobile cotton, consigned to Messrs. H. Hentz & Co., oi that oliy. The Journal of Commerce un? derstands that they bad purohased 1.0UC bales for shipment to this market, bul tho saddon decline here ia the latter part of Jaae caused them to countermand the shipment of th?.remainder. Thc , receipt of ootton from Liverpool at th? time is certainly an extraordinary pro? ceeding, ia view of the fact that the crop el American cotton for 1870-71 will ex? ceed 4,250,000 bales, , and ranks on ly second to tho largest crop ever produced In the United States. This importation, says tho. Journal, illustr?tes the specula? tive mania that hos prevailed in cotton this season. Prices were'rushed tip to a point that would pay a profit of over one ?er oent. per pound on importation from tarop?, and a large quantity would have been shipped to New York had nol . prioes declined. A H?Bim&ss FKOLIO.-That procession of good Bopnblionos on Monday night, among other harmless pleasantries in? dulged in, such as mobbing, attempt at arson and robbery, beat a white man, who iras standing inoffensively tn thc Str?dt, Mr. Miller, the victim .of tim mob, is now lying at the point of death. Mayor Pillsbury is wholly responsible for this.- CJiarleston Courier. 9 A CosTiiY JOB-MABTIAII LAW PROBA BiiB' if oi?

Nearly 2,000 pages of printed evidenco have been taken, and tho ex? penses of the?nvestig?tion even thus far will reach f ully_?5U,UU0. Tho .sub-com? mittee, iu violation of tho rules adopted for .its government^ seemed BO very anxious to make out a good ease that when they arrived here they were very prompt to furnish a one-sided and parti? san uooonnt of the investigation for the presa, presenting a scene of bloodshed and outlawry in t hut Beet ion far in excess of even the sensational and exaggerated aocoants heretofore given. Most of the evidence of outragea cornea, from colored persons, while- on the part of the white witnesses there is a very general donial of the existence of any armed Ku Klux organization. It is not pretended that there hove been no troubles. The op? pressive taxation, which amounts al? most to practical confiscation, the ap? pointment of tax-col leotors who cannot read and write to collect taxes of tho dis? franchised class,' the general oorcuptiou of the State administration, and finally the wholesale pardons by the Governor of convicted felons, have all aontributod to demoralize the proper enforcement of the oivil power for the maintenance of law and order. It ia quite probable, however, from, the intimations which have been given, that the evidence taken by a majority of tho oommittee will be made the basis of an appeal to tho Presi? dent for the declaration of martial law in three or fonr Counties in Sooth Caroli? na, and the enforcement of the feature of tho Ku Klux bill which authorizes a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus." . AN ?ERONAUT . DROWNED.-Professor Towes, an ^oroeant, performing at Mas Billion, Ohiofiwasdrowned -on 'Saturday last, by fajlingjinto a canal basin. The balloon1 went np B? G P. M. The pro? fessor caught hold of a horizontal - bar attached to ibo balloon, and in a flash was carried many hundred feet into the air. While in his: , transit, he performed all the feats common to thoa? skilled on the trapeze, i The sight was simply fear? ful; and showed Q daring in : thu .mah that waa anything,'.hut commendable. While yet in tho. air, and twenty or thirty feet from the water, the o ronaut released hie hold upon the bar* to pre? vent the balloon from-faliihg upon him. He fell in.to tho basin at'a point night feet deep, ano either by force of the con? ?u sai on or because of being hindered by a maddy bottom, rose to the surface completely exhausted,- ?ed wholly una? ble, by his town efforts, to reach the shore, distant bat a few feet. Towes was a middle-aged Spaniard, temperate and industrious^ and, highly spoken,, of by all bis companions. It aeeme that he had fallen into the St. Clair River, and onoe into Lake Erie, and it is said escaped from.Paris during, the late siege in a balloon: " He was 'accustomed in all his ascensions"tO' wear a life-preserver, but hero bo had no.idea there Waa any water about. . - UNFOBTONATEDOOTOB^-A oolpred doc? tor, who announces that ho is a native of Africa, the seventh son of a seventh soo, and the seventh eon of a 'seventh daughter, also that he walked in seven months and was born with seven canis, has been creating an. excitement io Kirkwood, near St. Louis. He deliver ' ed a lecture to the American citizens of African descent, and at ibiolose Informed his hearers that he would return on the following day and preach a sermon, while at the same time, ho would distri? buto among the ladies an infallible fluid extract for taking the kinks out ol their hair. The promise of the doctor in regard to nnkinking their hair rendered bim so popular with tho colored ladiee i of Kirkwood, that the jealousy of the i male portion of the popnlation wai . aroused, and when he undertook to ful ! fil his appointment he was set upon with i stioks. stones, razors and other missiles, to snob an extent that, if bo had nol been born with seven cauls, it ls doubt ful if he' would have' esoaped with bb i lifo. i Durr.-The history of human lifo hat , shown that the simple and frugal eatei has enjoyed tbebost health and lived thc longest.

We aro not speaking pf people in their social relations, bub-ia their intercourse with the outside World. Many men who aro everything that is genial and oou/teous in tho home circle, become cold, brusque, or'irritable the moment - they enter . their- counting rooms, offices, or places of. business, whatever it may be. ? Tho playful ; ' in? dulgent pater-familias of half an hour before, suddenly chung?n iuto a snarly og nv wh<> snaps up his pido-faced clerk UH if ho would make a supplementary breakfast of him. TJuder studi a master it is no wonder that tho clerk in turu Ands it impossible to he oivil to any stranger whom the ohanoe of bnsiuess may'throw in his way. As a general thing, clerks in mercantile houses, do not Btand in need of ungracious exam? ples. Much dealing with complicated accounts seems to sour the disposition. Fractions beget f rao ti oust) ess. If you desire a due specimen of irritability,' take un ancient book-keoper at tho time ho is making out his balanae sheet, ask bim tho slightest question uot counected with his calculations. But for all peo? ple engaged iu strictly sedentary occupa? tions, one should make generous allow? ance. As a class, the clerks in retail stores aro . remarkably courteous, con? sidering the tests to which their patience is constantly subjected. Wo wish it were not in our way to say it, but womeu make the very worst retail clerks in the world. Tn most oases they seem unable to aeparuto their sex from the business in hand. If their customer ia a man, they like or dislike him at n glance, and are proportionately attentive or indiffer? ent. When dealing with women-and this is a wise woman's testimony-they are-.apt to be ourt, impatient and .dis? obliging.. If a woman tastefully or abaurdly enters the store, business re > cm vea a furtive stroke of- paralysis; the new comer-is instantly inventoried, dis? sected^ and--so to speak-"et npon by tho female coroners of 'the shop, whose verdicts'oro delivered to eaoli oilier across the. counters by a system of eye telegraphy not to be understood by man. None olr these peculiar j ties attach them? selves to a mosouliue clerk. He is rarely do wo-right rude; he is more often over? whelmingly polite and killing-a -very bad form of civility. >< Men who hold positions whioh bring them into contact with,; .the public, and placo tho public, to a certain extent, at their- mercy, have no right to be any? thing but oiviL The ticket-master ut the railroad station hos no right to snub you because you do not happen to know on which truck your train is.

The hackman who gloomily awaits you - at tho-terminus of tho journey baa nc right to hustle you as if you were part ol your own baggage. Tho hotel clerk, thc natural humility of 'whose 'disposition ; lies buried auder that monumental dia? mond piu, has no right to treat you at ?n'inferior.
