Oj IL?MBI^,; S. C. Sun/lay Morning, October 1,1871.. Financial Onuratlau^-Tlioso New % Bond?, . Dr. Neagle states that ?10 has ho con? ceal mont to make of his oonneotion with the new oity honda. He sends to this journal tho following memorandum: "Loaned to city of Columbia $75,000, and received of city of Columbia 9250,000 seveu per cent, bonds as collu to ral, with authority to sell at the eud of ninety days, unless the amount is paid, but with promise to renew note for sixty or ninety days." Dr. Neagle further stated that the said bonds were here ia bia hands, and exhibited them to our informant. So much, now, for this part of the transac? tion botwoon tho City Council and Dr. Neagle. What, now, has tho City Couucii, or tho Committee of Ways and Means, who| wo presume, acted for the Council, to say on tho subject? Whon Dr. Neagle exhibited the bouda, our in? formant observed that the bouds bore date 21s/ August:-about forty days ago. It thus appears that the City Council of Columbia, forty days ugo, determined to issue , new booda of the city, and in seoret meeting did issue them, and that until, brought out by us, the matter bas been kept a profouud sccrot. lu the meantime, tho City Council have bad meetings-have published their official proceedings-and yet, not a word has been published upon the subject-so important to tho citizens of Columbia, tax-payers, and all oonoernod iu the welfare of the city. Theso are matters for the community to reflect upou. Comment seems uonocesBary. If revolutions could be "laid out" just os magnificent cities of the far West ure-on paper-it would be rather a good arrangement for Spain, and not so good a ono for tho patriots of Cuba. Tho Spanish authorities have been at the trouble and expense, within a few days, of again assuring the people of the United States that tho Cuban rebelliou was utterly erushed out and done with, and that a proclamation to this effect would presently be issued by the Cap taiu-Qeneral. We thick the friends of Cuban indopendence may be excused if they decline to place absolute dependence on tho.above statement, for later advices, also of Spanish origin, inform us that 4,000 additional troops are about to be sent to Cuba in order to orush the rebel? lion all over ngaiu. We suppose there never was a rebellion that would not stay crushed to tho extent of the one io Cuba. Tho Camden Journal, commenting upon tho arbitrary features of tho "Ku Klux bill," says: "See how it has fallen already upon us, than whom a more quiet people never .lived 1. Two young men, of high respectability, have, at the instance of a mun .who led a riot on tho ~ 4th of July last, who urged the burning of the town and the lynching of nu officer of tho law on that occasion, been arrested and are sought to he tried nuder th? provisions of the Ku -Klux bill, when there js nut a shadow of a point wheroupon to hang a proceeding of that nature! Even the persons arrested for riot on the occasion just alluded to cannot be tried under that bill, though that was an offence against the law and publie peaoe immea ? Burably greater than in the case we are speaking of. - And the reason for it is plain and evident. _ It is' because lhere was in neither case any infringement or attempt to .infringe upon tho political rights of others. .-Tho utter .absurdity, the palpable malice of tho pr?sent pro? secution, tho falsity of the statements which must have been made and sworn to in order to bring it about, demon? strate! more clearly than any other argu? ment the extent of this monstrous usurp? ation, and disol?ses the foot that We are at the m?rby. of .'every','man who has malice enough in his heart-to color suffi cieutly bis statement of. the offence com? mitted against' him. True,' wo may dis? prove the charge, and be ncqnitted by a jury .of our. peers, but only ut great ex? pense, inconvenience and trouble. We may' be dragged to dungeons, treated like brutes and subjected to unjust punishments, before we can vindicate our true position. AU this would not have been, but for the passage of the Ku Klux law. Let every man who has within him otfen a lingering spark ol that love of freedom and justice which characterizod their anoesters, never dis? honor their graves nor their memory by assenting to support the men or thc party who have put in motion this in? quisitorial torture of tba nineteenth century." GOING FOR TUE EX-REDEM.-Tbt Washington Patriot says: "The 'Government' bas done it at last. An ex-rebel soldier, one of Long street's men, wo believe, bas liad Im official head taken off, and is no longer r clerk in tho Iuto'ior Department. Thc subject was considered in Cabinet, nat Anally referred ? tb Attorney-Genera Akermun, who decided that un ex-Con federate soldier was incompetent to hoir an official position under the Coostitu lion as amended. In his own cuse, huv ing been a member of thc Georgi) Home Guard, und uti officer nu Toomba staff, he. is excepted from tho prohib? tioa, for the reason that neither he uoi Toomba over expected to do any fight \ ing. Longstreet's ,cuso bas not yet beet \. reached." ' QtnsHsr"V?OToBT?:^?t is "Mate'd- that the! health of Qoeen Victoria, for many years a matter of anxiety to her subjects, hos beo?mo moro than evor tho object of their solicitude, and uo? wo have the reported remark of Disraeli that she is "morally nud physically incapable of reigning much longer," and th?t ber ex? cessive devotion to her duties bas broken her down. This he deplored, because, as he remarked, "no Englishman oould possibly havt. such completo control of the political traditions of tho country SB its sovereign." Making ?ll allowance for tho readiness of tho ex-premier lo take advantage of a certain coolness evinced by the British public toward the Queen, in consequence of her long retirement, and to muke a little capital for himself, bis words appear, uuvorthe less, to have created a great excitctneut in Eugland, ns they fall in with appr?? hensions loog ontcrtaiued of a develop? ment of the hereditary taint of insauiiy in Victoria's family. George HE, her grand-father, became insane, and for some ton juara his son was Regent. Iiis career, both as Regent and King, was a disgraco to the country. Tho present heir-apparent is said to b? of low in? stincts nnd associations. It cannot be agreeable to a proud aud high-spirited people to look forward to such a succes? sor to the Queen, who, whatever her infirmities of mind, has been a model of womauly excellence, und never lacking in queenly dignity. Under her long reign, Englaud has enjoyed great pros? perity, and might continue to do so under ber son, if he kns. Um prudonco to seleot wise counselors and abstain from a course of life calculated to provoke public indignation. Kings do not hold their thrones by as strong a tenuru as formerly, and eveu patient und peaceful England may be capable of revolution. The correspondent of the New York World, alluding to this matter, tele? graphs: "There is a whisper that tho military manoeuvres now going on at Aldershot have some reference to possible out? breaks that may occur on the auuouuae mont of her Majesty's death, aud that the presence of the Priuao of Wales with tho army was expedient for the same reason. All these stories must be taken for what they are worth; but they are now significant straws showing how the wind blows. When thu Queen is more than' usually affected in her mind, they always send for Lady Churchill, and that lady is now ut Balmoral." It would, therefore, appear that old England, whom tho world a little while ago imagined as firmly planted in order aa her own fortress of Gibraltar, really stands on the verge of revolution. How far such demagogues as Mr. Odgor and Mr. Bradlaugh will be able to control tho ignorant masses of Euglaud against order and stability, remains to be seen. We can only hopo that their influence is little, and that the statesmen of Great Britain will BO shape events, in case any emergency should arise, that peuce may be maintained, and the Prinoe of Wales be given a fair trial oithor as Regentor King. The world is moro nearly inte? rested in a firm government in England than most people imagine. Her ships are on every sea and in evory port of the universe, and the finances of Christen? dom are affected by evory unnatural dis? turbance of Lombard street. In the great empire of commerce Loudon is the capital, and a revolution in Euglaud, should it bo permitted to assume large proportions, would unsettle values in every market and causo deep and gene? ral financial distress. Wo look on revb Iuton there, however, as only a rem?lo possibility) and our. faith in the steady sense of Jobo. Bull, and in his over? whelming conservatism, is so -great that we believe, despite all the dangers that now threaten England from the decad? ence of the Queen's capaoity to rule much longer, order and good govern- j mcnt will be maintained.

SIIAIJBY.-Tho Tounesseo Press Asso? ciation recently visited Louisville, uud its members were permitted to pay their own hotel bills. In revenge, one of them writes thus of tho town: "Louis? ville is an old dilapidated town, cele? brated for its riots when it had a popu? lation to justify u long ditch to keep the water in tho Ohio from stagnating in frout of the village, un artesian well, n skating riuk, and a very muchly-pressed hospitality. Her people principally driuk low wines that never paid tho tax, und feed on dried apples, blackberries, catfish, and Cincinnati cracklings, and aro happy," Two locomotives, with heavy oon struotion trains, passed over tho trestle and bridge to Port Royal Isjaud, yesterday. . "THE BAYONET "MYSTERYTN CAMDEN.- 1 Just os we were going to press lost week, wo mentioned the arrival of a squad of United States, .soldiers, who did not know why they'were sent hero, and that we lind our auspicio no, which we would wait to see verified or not, as the case might' bo. We are informod that the circumstuuces:aro ns follows: Some timo ?inee, Messrs. T." J. Ancrum, Jr., and A. H. Boykin wont into the store of F. Guss, n prominent Radical, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, to purchase Bornutbing, and an altercation having arinen, Mri Ancrum atru'ok Goss with'a small riding switch. Thereupon Goss took out a warrant against beth of the yoong men, for assault and battery, is? sued by J. F. Sutherland, Esq., Trial Justice. They were arrested uud bouud over to uppeur at tho present term of Court of Sessious. lu tho meantime, Goss maltes nu affidavit ami baa a war? rant issued from the United States Court, bringing the ease under the Ku Klux Bill. A United Statua Marshal-Slier mau by name-came over, supported by thu soldiers and their bayonets, aud ar? rested Messrs. Aucrum and Boykin, who wero tukeu before Commissioner Gayle, and bouud over to appear at the Unite 1 States Court, to be held at Columbia, on thu Uh day of next month. To thu credit of the Marshal bo it said, bo did not curry tho soldiers with bim, but wont down quietly and performed his unpleasant duty ns agreeably as was pos? sible under the ci rou insta noes. Whoo called upon by Judge Meltou to know whether he had any bills to be given out to the grand jury, J. M. Davis, Esq., ucting Solicitor, stated (obis Honor that he hud been informed that a prosecution had been eutered in the United States Court against Messrs. Boykin und An erutn, by Goss, for the same offence for which he then bad a bill to give out, but did not do so, preferring to wait until it was seen what was to be douo iu the United States Court. This is a rather unusual case, but it really is nothing more or less thuu a simple assault and battery, aud bus no? thing more to do with Ku Kluxisin than n larceny has. The resuit of this at? tempt to grutify malice will noon be seen, us the United States Court will convene in Columbia next week. Messrs. xVn crum and Boykin buvo cugaged counsel, who will appear for them if it becomes necessary.-Camden Journal. The half crown, two shillings and six? pence, made memorable alike by prose and poetry, that convenient sub-division of British currency, which always came in so handy where a shilling would be too little und a crown too much; the old, tho glorious hulf-crown, which might well deserve the name of a British insti? tution in itself, will, ulusl soon be a thing of the past. According to the London Times, the two and a half shilling piece has ceased to be coined at thu British mint. The discussion caused by the proposed modification of the English currency has, it is stated, revived the proposition that a teupenny piece, cor? responding in value to tho Kreuch traue, should be coined instead. Three of these new coius would be equal to the ex? isting half-crown, and five would be equal to the American dollar. But the British? ers don't see it. They have a natural fondness for the time honored crown and half crown, whieh they cannot get over, und the Times says that it is evident that the feeling against the abolition of "two six" is very strong among n large portion of the English public. A CIRCUS DESTKOYED BY FUIE.-A few days sinco the three large circus tents of Cider's oircus were destroyed by lire in Reedsburg, Michigan, and ont of 150 horses belonging to the show, forty-one were burned to death. One of tho can vusmeu let foll a lighted torch into a large quantity of loose straw, and, in en instant thereafter, the flames communi? cated with the bedding of the horses, roastiug to death nineteen of tho ani? mals. Twenty-one horses were rescued in a damaged condition, some with their eyes burnt out, some entirely skinned, aud others with their hoofs so badly burned that blood streamed from their foot at every step. Several of the poor animals, wild with excitement and j min, strayed off into the country and were found between three and four miles from the scene of the disaster. The horses belonged mai u ly to the baggage wagons, the company losing only oue ring hors?*. The tire was a severe blow to Mr. Older, whoso loss is estimated at $10,000. A MODERN PYTHAGOREAN.-Bonan!, the eccentric Frenchman, who left his fortune to tho New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Auimals, it was elicited during the testimony in probate proceedings on the 20th inst., wus a believer iu the doctrines of Pytha? goras, and confidently looked forward to the passage of his soul into the body of un animal. This certainly puts a now phase upon the matter of tho be? quest, and would make it appear that tho donation is not such a benevolent act after all, but rather a piece of wiso forethought and precaution, in enso tho eccentric Frenchman's spirit should {coma to animate a Fourth avenue cur I horse. JVOIOIAII PHENOMENON.-(Jua of the most wonderful arrays of jurors ever got together in North Carolina is that sum? moned by the Federal Marshal to try the political prisoners in Raleigh. The whole venire consists of fifty-seven jurors. There aro about 70,000 negro voters in tho State, and of this class live have been chosen. Thero aro from 18, 000 to 20,000 whito Rudicals, uud of these fifty-two have been chosen; and there are about 00,000 to 95,000 conserv? ative voters, and of these not ono has been chosen.
