C H;(TMBIA, S.. C. Saturday Uornih?, October 7.1871. Queen Victoria, who, it is tbougbt, ia in a very precarious state of health, has money onough of her own to defray the espouses of a very hundsomo funeral. She is said to have saved 815,000,000 from the oivil list since she ascended the throue. In addition to this she received 85,000,000 at tho death of Prince Albert, and tho miser, Neold, bequeathed an? other 85,000,000. all of which she has 'nid up for a rainy day. It is estimated that her fortune now amounts to 835, O00I000. But the Prince of Wales is a very had boy, haviug, it is said, already contracted dobts to tho amount of $5,000,000, aud hisshareof his mother's fortuno is not likely to last him ni irnys. When ho shall have been upon tho throne ? few years, a lengthy Bpoll of wet wea? ther, against which the Queen has so well provided, would find him with scarcely money enough of his own about the house to buy a water-proof overooot or oven a ten-shilling umbrella. One good thing accomplished by the National Commercial Convention, which met recently at Baltimore, was its adop? tion of a resolution urging upon the ad- ; ministration tho abolition of the obnox? ious income tax. It Bsems almost a hopeless tusk to strive for tho repeal of this odious excise so long ns it remains the great political engino it now is. It maintains at the general expense an. army of assessors and collectors, who are at least. formidable in numbers, and 'whoso influence - in nominating, conven? tions and at the polls is their chief claim to place and emolument;." The spare re? ceipts of the-pr?sent-.fiscal year from the income tax have demonstrated that it is now absolutely without, exouse for ljjeiug,(n,8 it .barely pays. the cost of its collection. I'Tfhy, under these Circum? stances, it is not repealed, can' only bo explained upon the ground that the voice of tho politician is moro potent in the policy of the Government than the voice of tho people. ii -rr-. ri ?* ? fr, Oue thing is daily 'growing moro,-ap parent, and that is' that Germany will not he trilled with by the volatile French. To annoy the GermuuB residing in Franco was one of th? means of revenge which tho Frenoh people promised them? ed vea for their defeats in tho field. To practically carry out this questionable patriotism, anti-German clubs were formed, nhd these orgauizatious seem to havo been remarkably active at Lyons. Tho persecuted Germans oom plained to their Government, and thu authorities at Berlin have given tho new republic to understand, in the most unmistakable terms, that those "revenges" must not only conan, but be amply atoned for. The Minister of Foreign Affaira, Oouut do Bemusnt, has promised to accede to nil the demands of the Imperial Cabinet at Berlin, and by the time the outrages at Lyona have been apologized and paid for, tho people of Franoo will cast about them for some other means of satisfac? tion for their receut military disusteis. AUHUHT OF CITIZENS.-They are making wholesale arrests in Spar tann urg Coun? ty, to prepare for the coming of Judge Bond. The Carolina Spartan, in its last issue, says: "During the last week certain.United States officials, nt the head of cavalry de? tachments, have arrested men in differ ont sections of our County, charged or suspicioned as Kn Klux, j One man, we are informed, was arrested without a warrant, or an affidavit that he had been guilty of any'violation of law. Mr. Stc ball Scruggs, eighty-one years old, has been arrested aud is now confined in the jail. Mr. Elijah Barnett, who we. sup poso to bo not less than seventy years old. Ouptuin, Jack Htiudor8ou and Janies H.'Ezel-mon far advanced in year? are among the arrested and imprisoned. Tbe others are Wm. Humphries, Green Humphries, Alfred Burke, Canty Griffin, Sirab .Bagwell,. John Bagwell, Richard Millwood and Columbus Mitchell. These persons have been arrested upon affidavits (where affidavits have been made at all) by the mont trifling charac? ters in the County. Wo suppose tho parties arrested will be turned over to the United States Court, whioh will be held in Columbia next month. Go i vernor Scott, in the Republican Conven? tion, recently held in Columbia, threat? ened that "this court would bo made as memorable as the late session of the conrt at Raleigh." As this threat comes from one high in authority, we snppose the arrangements will be made as they were in Raleigh. - INDICT RD FOB MURDEH.-Twobrotbera, named Riohmond, have been indicted io the court of Summers County, West Virginia, for the murder of a man nainod Bennett after the olose of tho war. The Richmonds live in Raleigh. Bennett was a Confederate soldier, who had just returned, wheu, it is alleged, tho Rich? monds went to his house, called him out, and shot him down in his own yard. Dr, W. H. Tatt has resigned tho Pre? sidency of the Cotton States Agricultural and Mechanical Society, of Augusta, Ga. P. J. BerokmanB, Esq,, bas boen unanimously elected President.

Tho report of tho Committee on New Sohool Law was nguiu nailed up, and, after various amendments, adopted. Tho Committee on the Supply of Teachers reported that, owing to tho in? sufficiency of; tho pay of the teachers who are willing to devote themselves to tho profession, and-the want of suitable scbonl-hou8cs iu the variouB Counties in tho State, they recommend that a State Normal Sohool bo at once established, to preparo young persons in tho Stute | for the profession of teaching; and thut | while said Normal Schools aro being established, n touchera' association of all I the teachers iu, oach Behool district be organized ta meut us often as required, for the purpose of Consulting together as to the interests of their various schools; and in furtherance of this object it ia recommended that said teachers attend or forfeit their employment, unless otherwise excused. They further recommend to the various boards of trustees in the several sohool districts in the State to procure eligible Bites for tho erection of suitable school buildings, a ad that they endeavor to induce the people in Baid districts to unite ami erect suitable school buildings ou such sites as maybe selected. -They also recom? mend that the trustees stimulate a ri? valry among tho people in tho different school districts as to'who can build thc best and1 prettiest school houses, nud tho greatest number of children who they cnn got to attend their school. Tho Committee 'on Sohool Blauks mado a report (which is unimportant to give) which was adopted. Tho Committee on School Funds made an additional report, recommend? ing the Legislature to moke av appro? priation of not less than $200,000, for educational purposes. They also recom? mend a thorough collection of the poll tax throughout the State; and also recommend that a committee bo ap? pointed to memorialize our next Legisla ture.-setting forth the past and our present grievances as an educational board, and that the Committee on School Funds be said committee to oarry out said rooommoudatious. Adopted. Other committees were allowed, until the next annual meeting, to make their reports. Complimentary resolutions were passed thanking Chairman Jillsou aud Secretary Corbet for tho very efficient manner in which they had discharged their duties during tbe sessiou. The board then ad? journed sine die. THE COLLECTION OF TAXES.-Tho Grand Jury of Newberry County, ot its last sittiug, made n presentment, from which the following is au extract: Among tho great evils to which the people of South Carolina are subjected, ii tho onerous expense of collecting the taxes. Formerly, when property paid a just taxation, u single person collected the taxes. Now, when property is taxed far hoyoud a remunerative value, a whole corps of assessors, with an auditor and treusurer, are needed. That it should cost a Coan ty 83,000 to $5.000 to collect the taxes-and no possible sum? mary woy to verify the expenditures- J when many good men would gladly do the work for a salary of Si,500-is it not a commentary upon the system that has been made to rob the honest luborer of his toil, and the honest man of his earn? ing? It was onae a man's pride to own property in South Carolina; now it is a burden. Ouce it WUB a pride to owe allegiance lo the laws of South Carolina;] now it is becoming to he a' disgrace. Becoming, this grand inquest says-not yet come to pass. God grant it may not come finally to pass, and that the temper of tim people may keep cool enough for God's Providouco to work to the end. ? ? ? REFUSED TO LEVY AN ADDITIONAL TAX. The citizens of Hibler Township assem? bled at Shatturfield on the 23d ult., and declared, by a vote of forty-seven majo? rity, against further taxation for free school purposes. There was only three votes in favor of taxation-tho colored voters as well as the white voting in op? position to the tax. Tho citizens of that township deem the Act requiring tho levy of tho tax unconstitutional, (as it certainly is,) and hare instructed their school trustees to employ counsel and contend in the courts, if necessary, for their share of tho sohool fuud collected hy tho State and set aside for school pur? poses. This is a step in the right direc? tion, and we would be glad to seo every township in tho County pursuing the samo line of policy as that adopted bj old Hibler. Tho tax is un unjust ono an unnecessary one-an unconstitutional one-aud should be resisted by the tax? payers.-Edgcjield Advertiser. DEATH OF AN ENTERPRISING YOUNO MEIICUANT.-Mr. Geo. C. Goodrich, the senior partner in the widely-known Huyue streot drug firm of Goodrich, Wineman & Co., died at his residence, yesterday morning, in the 34th year of his ugo, of brain fever. [Charleston Courier. The Cuban rebellion seems to still go on, notwithstanding tho monthly an? nouncements of its suppression. It is confined to remote mountain districts, however. Railroad Meeting;. ... A meeting of tho citizens of Edge?el?

Bonham slated tho object of thc mooting in his usual able, happy ?iud en? ergetic mauuer, urging the importance of tho mooting, and .still moro thu im? portance of tho contemplated road. Mr. W. T. Gary offered tho following resolutions, which, after umoudmcut, wcro adopted : Resolved, That we, tho citizens of Edgeiield Couuty, in convention assem? bled, concurring in tho belief thnt there is a necessity for a railroad from Aiken, some point On the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Bailrond, South of tho Pi tic House, or Augusta, Ga., via Edgeiield Court HOUBO, to Laurens Court House, hereby express our willingness to hearti? ly co-operato with all pnrties interested for tho carly completion of this enter? prise.

Mr. L. P. Yoemans read a letter fro Col. J. H. Evans, of Spartauburi assuring the meeting of the hearty ci operation of Spurtuuburg in the ente prise. Gen. M. C. Butler thought tho mee iug should tuke a more practical view the matter-should order a survey of tl route, and subscribe "money for thc coi plotiou of tho road. Dr. Rockwell, ox-Mayor of Aiken, 1 tho wish of tho mooting, and Ut the r quest of tho Chairman, addressed tl meeting in a very forcible, honest ut practical manner-so much so as to ga the unanimous confidence and good w of tho audience.

[Edgrjleld Advertiser: A largo magnet, said to be tho larg ia tho world, was recently manufaotut ut Ansonia, Conneotieut. In expe menta mado with it, the magnetism v found to bo so powerful as to ruin I movements of tho watches carried people who were near it. The plank kiln of Mr. John Kaufmi of Walhalla, containing about 7,000 f of lumber was entirely consumed. 1 loss is estimated at SlfH).

THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH ERN TURF, ?D incident ooourrod at tito Nashville rac os, September 27, which illustrates the determination of Southern turfmen to maintain, unblemished, tho honor of their time-honored sport. As reported at the time, tho tbree-in-flve raeo was protracted to six heats; Bob Shelton, the favorite, running fourth' and third, and being distanced in the third bout, tho time of which was 1,03, while tho otheis had been run in 1.49 and 1.48j.<- We oopy from tho Union rind American's ac? count of tho third heat: At this stage of tho race, when Frank? lin, Irone Shepherd and Donovan, each had a heat, there was u "new departure" which was altogether uuexpeeted. Jfc appears that complaint was made to the junges of tho manner in which tho favo? rito horse, Bob Shelton, had been con? trolled, and tho charge directly made that there had been no effoi t made on th? part of bis rider to win tho race; that if tbo horse had been run to win. lin could not have boon distanced in a 1.53 boat. Hearing these complaints, President Johnson immediately despatched the bead of tho police force, with instruc tious to bring back the horse, which was thou being removed to his stables. Tho orders wero carried, and Hob Shelton was brought'to tho stand. Tho Presi? dent of tho association then orden d Sandy Baruca to take charge of the ani? mal as special trainor, who turned bim over to Jim Hill. A. now rider was pressed into service, and President John? son now announced that tho horst; would bu rub against time, to seo if there was cause for bim being distanced in a heat aa describod above. About this timo Leo Paul, ono of the owners of Shel ton; stepped up, und nt tempted to tnke his horse by force, when President Johnson left thu stand and took the horse from Paul, mon II tod the rider, and declared that visitors should bo protected from anything that smacked cf fuul play. He hud ordered that horse to run ng.iin.st time, and, hy thu Eternal, btv was de? termined that tho order should bu car? ried out. Tho excitement for tho tho mont was intense, and cheer after cheer wont up for Johnson. Going ahead tn tho stand, (bu drntn was tupped, and Hob Slieltou was on tho course against time, which was made in 1.48Xl- Prcsi: dont Johnson then announced that the positiou of Hob Shelton iu the lust heat would not bo gtveu.ut thu present time, but the decision in tho Caso would eu made early tho next day. It was gone rally understood that tho owner anti Ins horses'would be ruled oil' the track, and that all bets would bo declared void. ' After tho excitement was tiver, the race was coutinuod. Since preparing the above report,'we I understand that by tho decision of the association, Lee. Paul and his rider have beou ruled ott' tho truck, but tho deci? sion in regard to bets will bo made this morning, tit 'J o'clock. NEW ORLEANS SINKING.-The New Orleans Picayune says that for some thirty or forty ?lays the biitturo iu front of tho Bazaar Market and red stores hus been gradually sinking, until to-day, just below tho red stores, it is Keven feet below thc ordinary level, tiud the settle? ment varies from three lo seven feet. Tho length of tho batturo which hus thus sunk is about 750 feet, and the width 1'2U, nud there is no telling when it will stop. Tho city surveyor has mado borings to investigate tho strata, with a view to tho construction of u work that will prevent any further sink age, but has not been able to Bud any? thing sufficiently firm to guarantee thu permanence of any work. At a depth of fifty feet, nothing moro stable was found than sand, with a very slight mix? ture of clay, aud just now tho surveyor is in a quandary as to what is best to be done. At intervals in thc past, th:: batturo in this vicinity has sunk in lin sumo way, but not to such an extent, the greatest siuknge, wo believe, heretofore not oxoeediug live foet. Tho present sink is not in tho water, but inside the wharves, ?fcc., ou tho space over which tho roads of tho Ponchartrain mid Chat? tanooga Railroad Companies pass. Tho companies havo boen compelled to fill np as tho ground gave wuy, and will proba? bly havo to heep lilting for some time to como. A SAD AFFAIM IN WEST VIMTINIA.

A physi? cian sowed up tho gash HOOU after, but I shu ripped it open again, aud at lust ac? counts was in a critioal conditiou. FATAL SHOOTING AFFAIR-A UNITED STATES SOLDIER DOES THE DEED.-Wo have reliable information from Robeson County, N. C., to tho effect that on Sat? urday night last, a recruit, who had just arrived from tho enlisting depot for Company G, Fourth United States Ar t il lor y, of the troops now on duty in that County, whilo iu a state of intoxication, shot and killed a mulatto named Lock lear. The man killed was sixty-four years of age, and had given no provoca? tion to justify the shooting. DEATH OF THE NEAREST RELATIVE OF WASHINGTON.-The Charlestown (West Virginia) Spirit of Jefferson, of Tucsduy, says : Our community was much startled yesterday morning by the announcement of the death of Col. Lewis W. Washing? ton, whioh occurred after an illness of a day or two only. Col. Washington was a conspicuous citizen of Jefferson-Hie nearest relativo at tho timo of his death of tho great chief. A Pittsburg youth has acquired such dexterity that ho eau smash all the four lights in a street lamp at one full swoop. Tnc LABT ROMANCE.-A silly story wau telegraphed from Now York ou tho 2d instant, as a special to Western news papers, to tho effect that a number of ex eoldiers, Federal and Confederate, had formed a sooiety to bring about the an? nexation of Mexico, of which Gen. Jos. E. Johnston is head, and John A. Lo? gan, of Illinois, a prominent officer. Tho New York World reprints the fable, with imaginative amplifications. It is snfo to say Gen. Johnston, at least, has hotter use for his abilities than to go meddling ia filibuster schemes, nud if General Logan luis not, it would appear that tho war had needlessly spared one victim. Tho treasury ol' Franco has had 3,000, 000 francs unexpectedly returned to it hy tho Abbe Thiriou, in whoso bauds it was placed for safo keeping during tho war. In tho autumn n balloon, sent up from Puris, fell nt ilenuomcnt, Meuse, u district then occupied by tho Germnus. The turonaut, who was un envoy from the capita), had U,000,001) francs 'in his possession with which to purchase arms. Ile knew that the Prussians were pursu him, and took thu money to the Abbe, und when thu Prussians carno they could not lind it. At the return of peuce tho honest Abbe sent thu money to Bel? gium, wheuco now it has been.sent to the French Government. Private intelligence, coming from a trustworthy source, aunouuees that the ix-Emperor Nupoleou will settle perma? nently in England, nt Chiselhurst, where his household has just been increased in view of ii permanent residence there. Many of his retainers, whose Bcrvices were dispensed with after the disaster at Sedan, have been recalled, and tho sad? dle horses which Napoleon rodo during, tho war, and which were at thu Chateau of Aronberg, iii Switzerland, were lately liken aboard a vessel at Osteud, on their wuv to Ch i sel hurst. A Chicago paper, ou Saturday last, devoted nearly threo columns iu detail? ing ?i game of huso*bull, and in thc same issue devoted but sixteen lines to the opening of a railroad, winch is destiuod to pour into that city tho wealth of mil? lions of broad acres beyond the Missouri River. If there is uno thing which should enchain tho interests of mankind above all others, it is u gum J of ball be? tween eighteen young men. Young Htiggurty, who caused the dis appuarauce of Connolly's vouchers, or, iu other words, stol? them, is jauitor of Cot hum's new ?md remarkably expen? sive court house. Tho Dfation says of him: "Ho appears in court glittering willi diamonds, nud is interesting as a good specimen of tho kind of mau into whose bauds tho work of government is passing in these parts." Teuue?sce Stato bond coupons to the ninon ut of 872,000 are ascertained to have been stolen from tho State Trea? surer's office, und,-it is supposed, placed on the market.
