COLUMBIA. S. C. Thursday ?orninsr, June 20, 1872. There was bot a slim attendance at the auction of the new-city bonds, yester? day, and we believe bat two bidders, Mr. John Alexander, the Mayor, and Mr. Clark Waring, the contractor for the new City Hall. $5,000 of the bonds brought 66),, $10,000 65>_, and the balance ($85,000) sold for G5. Mr. Alexander bought $90,000 of the $100,000 sold. It was said that the sale was genuino and filial; but inasmuch as the Mayor of the oitywas about tho sole purchaser, and the price realized uo ruinous, we are inclined to hope that there was no aotaal sale. It is plain that thei 'bonds cannot be sold for anything like their real value, or what should be their real value. The Union maintains, or appears to - believe, that there was a combination to bear the bonds. We can see no grounds for snob, a supposition. The "bears," if there are any, were strangely absent from the first Bale, or attempt to sell, a month ago, and if they were present yesterday, did certainly allow their op? portunity to slip without a murmur. The tr rio reason of tba dull Bale of the bonde lies in a want of confidence in the State abd city governments, brought about by the waBteiul extravagance, cor? ra ption and fraud exhibited since the State passed i&o hands of adventurers and unsorpoloTO speculators. The bare offer to sell additional bonds, in the pre? sent condition of tinng?, has an appear? ance of fraud or dishonesty in it. The old bouda'do not sell for more than seventy-five cents now. The new bonds are no better, and cannot be expected to sell for more. There is not a solvent member of the present City Council who would sell his own paper for twenty five per cent, off, and when, as agents of the people, they attempt to do it, wide? awake capitalista begin to suspect right off that there is something wrong, and fight shy of the investment CABTJ SCHTJBZ.-The purpose of the conference which is to be held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, to day, seems to have been misunderstood by such journals as have represented it to be in direot antagonism to Mr. Greeley. Some of these have spoken of the par? ticipation of Mr. Schurz in the move? ment as indicative of a purpose of that gentleman, who was President of the Liberal Bepnblioan National Conven? tion, to oppose the nomination which the convention made. It appears, how? ever, from a statement which has been published, and which is understood to be on the authority of Mr. Schurz him? self, that the purpose of tho meeting is to unite all the elomente of opposition to the existing Administration in com? mon opposition, It appears that Sena? tor Schurz was solicited to go into tho eonferenee, and consented to do so on the condition that he wonld go in as a friend of the Cinoinnati nominations, and it is reasonable to infer that his office in that body will be to unite the elements of opposition upon the Greeley and Brown ticket. The necessity for such u conference may not be apparent, but the presence of Mr. Schurz in it is likely to be of benefit to the conserva? tive movement headed by Mr. Greeley, rather than injury. Colfax's fate should carry a warning with it to all politicians prone to deal in Buncombe. Smarting with the mortifi? cation of defeat, he has sinoe bared his bosom on the subject, owning np that when he wrottf tho retirement-letter he didn't mean it. The fact is, Colfax had his leering eyo fixed on the Presidency just at that time, and ia availing himself of the oideBt of political dodges, ima? gined that he rou uo danger. Un? happily, he was tuken at his word, and although he labored hard to afterward recover his ground by accepting every public position or duty offered him, it was too late. There are always as good fish in the sea as ever were caught. He did not think BO at the time, bat will now have plenty ot leisure to familiarize himself with the bitter truth of that homeliest of axioms. The New York Sun fears that the cavilling, demoralized, retreating army of office-holders will never bo oonvinoed that tho country is weary of their rule until they are startled by the vision of Dr. Greeley, fresh from the banks and braes of Obappaqun, laying off his old white- hat and unfolding his inaugural address on the East portico of the Capitol, while they catch glimpses of General Grant, burdened with gifts and surrounded by Dents, rolling out of Washington on a swift truin, bound for Galena. The Bible has been translated into Esquimaux by tho Moravian brethren in Labrador. Sale of the Bonds. EXACT STATUS OF THE COTTON TAX Briiii.-In response to many inquiries npon the subject, from parties both North and South who are interested in the bill, the Washington Republican says it is still pending in the Ways and Means Committee, and will be reported by them early in tho December session. Both housea have been committed in ? direct manner to its passage, and particularly to the unconstitutionality of the tax. Tho defeat of the Morrill amendment to the deficiency bill was the first indica? tion of the feeling in favor of the propo? sition to refund. The great bulk of the canes brought before the Court of Claims are cotton claims, and the fight against the amendment was made directly in the I interest of the cotton producing claus. The next, or second, and most conclu? sivo evidenccbf the feeling in the pre? mises, is to be found in the faot that the amendment to the omnibus bill prohi? biting the Secretary of tho Treasury from collecting the two cents por pound on cotton judgments obtained before the Court of Claims, was passed by the al? most unanimous vote of both houses, both political parties accepting and com? mitting themselves to the position origi? nally taken by Mr. Dawes and others when the tax was first imposed, that it was not constitutional. It is recorded as a notable faot that, when Grant was nominated at the Phi? ladelphia Convention, only one or two of the 300 editors and correspondents present manifested the least enthusiasm. While the whole house boiled with a mania of exoitement, singing, shouting and yelling like madmen, the 300 editors sat as impassive and stolid as though in the retirement of their own sanctums. When we oome to reflect that the ma? jority of them had been for months past drearily grinding out the old worn-out tune in praise of Grant, we can easily understand the sense of relief felt. It was the dropping of the green curtain on the farce. The show was over, and they carried no courage with them ont into the campaign. THE CHARGES AGAINST TREASURER PARKER.-The Beaufort Times, Republi? can, says: The circular of Treasurer Parker in reference to the appropriation for public schools exonerates him from blame in not paying ont said appropriation. We are glad to see that he bas at last pat the responsibility where it properly belongs, and hope he will continue to "risu to ex? plain" other matters equally interesting to the people. He is charged with pay? ing money ont of the Treasury to de? feat impeachment, and to keep oat of tbe penitentiary the thieves in high posi? tions who have plundered the State and ruined her credit. We ask him to-say apon whoso order thia money was paid, to whom, and in what amounts. We | know that Mr. Parker oan fasten this corrupt expenditure where it belongs; therefore we ask him to do it, as folly and SR clear as he does this school op {iropriatlon. In addition, he eau tell tow much money was paid out to pass auch infamous measures as tho validating bill, intended only to shield and proteot dishonest officials from the penalty of the law. Let him statu the facts boldly and fearlessly, and then tbe people will see wby our sohoola are closed, our judges unpaid, our benevolent institutions on the charity of individuals, and why the reply of "no money" is given to the creditors that daily besiege the Treasury. THE SUIT AGAINST GEN. BUTLER WIEGEIJ IN A FIGHT, &O.-Ia the trial in New York of the suit against Gen. But? ler for in alleged forcible seizare of the steamer Nassau at New Orleans, in 1862, while he was in command there, to be used by his brother in cotton and sogar speculations, the whole of Friday and Saturday was consumed in technical legal argument as to the admissibility of documents connected with the ownership Vi the Nassau. There waa a large at? tendance ia the court room, aad many promiueat members of tho legal profes? sion were present. Gen. Butler took a leatliog part ia the argumeot. The New York Sun states that on Wednesday evening, after his testimony in this suit, Lieut. Wm. H. Wiegel had a fight with Capt. Fred. Martin, formerly of Gen. Butler's staff, in which the latter came off second best. Wiegel, it is stated, was in his room asleep, when Martin, entered and ufter announcing himself, said to Wiegel, "You wrote a letter to Gea. Butler, in which were these words: 'Is there aoy of your kid? ney who will reseat aa insult? Will aoy of your pups fight?' Now, sir, I am ooo of Butler's pups, aad I oan fight." Both the mea weigh about 180 pouads each, and when they clinched in the light that followed, the contest was very severe. Wiegel is represented to have punished his opponent severely, until he was faint from loss of blood, aad finally pitched him dowa stairs. FiLLinusTERS.-The New York Herald has aa article showing recent activity among tho Cubans ia New York, aad mysterious departures io twos aad threes for Southora cities. 600 mea, it is claimed, are en/oute for Cuba, in three expeditious, with full supplies of arms aad ummuoitiou. A statement throws doubt upon a previous oae, that tho steamer Faaaio, from Baltimore, was sean off Baruegat taking ou cargo for Cuba, but thinks it was another privateer from Philadelphia. That's pleasant for Spain. ANOTHER. LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE FROM GRANT.-The Chicago Tribune publishes the follow i cg: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Jane 5, 1872. GENTLEMEN OP MT CONVENTION: It has signally pleased a gracious and be nigned Providence so to order the revo? lutions of the heavenly bodies as to causo again to recur the quadrennial period at which the nation may appro* priately acknowledge and ratify my con? tinuance in power? Wa re] doe to recog? nize and reward'the ' loyalty of your party to ou reo Ives, and to our affection? ate cousins .of the Presidential family. You will leam with pride that, not only in this country, but in Europe, the Exe? cutive rank is appreciated iu a novel and gratifying manner. The Prince Frede? rick Dent, our heir-apparent, is now so? journing ut the various palaces of nistor governments, escorted by the chief officer of the army rt nd a numerous retinue; the presence and grateful recep? tion of another member of oar family by the British Queen is also well calcu? lated to facilitate the peaceful Hottleineut of the Alabama claims. Should thu con? tinuing appreciation of the American people approximate to that ahowu by the Republicans of England two centu? ries ago toward General Crom well, whose training as a tanner eminently fitted him for (suppressing all opposition in his party, it is possible that our republican court may yet rival in its possession of all the comforts of social life and itu general hilarity and good humor the Court of Louis XIV, of France, some? times called the magnificent. At present it is our gracious pleasure to inform the Convention that, consider? ing the circumstances, we are personally doing as well.as oao be expected. The unanimous vote of the "rump," defeat? ing the payment of the Chorpenning claim ($433,000) after it hud been care? fully nursed by our exeoutive serenity and our secretaries for four years, and after we had peremptorily ordered it paid, was an impoverishing blow to the finances of the Administration, and indi? cates the ungenerous tendency of certain restless and mischievous opponents of the party to reduoe its great exponents to the scanty pittance afforded by our meagre salaries. In this disaster we are consoled by the complete success of one of our moBtablo secretaries in extracting from the Treasury tho sum of $93,000 in the Seoor claims, and $300,0U0 on the Boaoh contract, besides other very fuir transactions, knowu as the Governor claims, &o. Both these were instances of the exeoutive prerogative, without the tedious and unsatisfactory interposi? tion of the law's delay. They show bow rapidly "constitutions are not made, but grow" under an Exeoutive which over keeps ita eye steadily directed to the main ohance. It is not impossible that, by a judicious extension of our Execu? tive prerogative, the tax-payers muy, at an early period, be relieved of the ex? pense of sustaining Congress altogether, and may vest the sovereignty where it can be exercised with the most unity of counsels in the Chief Magistrate alone. The failure of the San Domingo treaty, so judiciously arranged by our aide-de-camp, Gen. Babcock, backed up by a reasonable display of force in the Haytien waters, under three naval officers, also occasions regret to a ohoice circle of enterprising spirits, who bad in? tended to realize in profits, on raising sogar, the $30,000,000 a year or so which have heretofore gone to the Government in the farm of revenue. As this step would depopulate the negro republic of San Domingo, it was opposed by sundry philanthropic gentlemen, who conceived that the intereats of the blacks of Hayti should prevail over the pecuniary wel? fare of loyal friends of the Executive, who have served their country nobly in past transactions in cotton on both sides of the line. I have expelled from the Republican party these cynical and dan? gerous men, wbo attempt in this manner to limit the field of private enterprise, when the Government is trying to keep it from languishing. Of course, you will pass some resolution approviug tho expulsion of these incendiaries and maintaining the unity of thu putty in the bonds of peace. It gives us sincere pleasure to announce that our ohief effort has been to prove that the humblest capacity iu the nation is adequate to the performance of the highest duties of statesmanship. Not many great, not many mighty have I called to aid me iu my task, if so it can be called. I have followed tho Diviue and Apostolic example of choosing the weak moo of this country to confound the men that are wise. They have done it to my completo satisfaction. Some members of my Cabinet hud never been heard of by myself or by the country until about the period of their appoint? ment. They aro clever fellows, and are doing well. A Heidelberg letter-writer, speaking of the ability of tho German students to consume beer, says: "A few evenings ago, ono of the 'Corps' were drinking at their club hon* o, aud one of tho members came in an tho clock wis about to strike 12, nud bet that he could take twelve glasses of beor during the twelve strokes of the dock. Accordingly, tho beer waa laid before him, and, much to the astonish? ment of even the students themselves, be did it. Tho same evening, ono of the students drank 100 glasses of beer on a bet, and was hardly affected at all by it. These are really wonderful things to do, when you consider that one of tbeso glasses contains almost two pints of beer." Christopher Anderson, imprisoned nt Troy, N. Y., on a charge of murder, out bis throat in his cell with a piece of broken glass on Saturday. Thoro were forty-two deaths in Charles? ton, for tho week ending the 15th whites seventeen; odored twenty-five. BARNUM'S MENAOBBIB LOOSB.-As the great Barnum's show was leaving Erie OD Saturday morning, en route to Gorry, one of the trains drawn by two engines was thrown from the track, and both locomo? tives and several cars were precipitated down the bank, the two former imbedded in the earth, while the latter were com? pletely wreoked, and the entire train and its contents received a lively shaking up. The lions roared, the monkeys chatter? ed, parrots screamed, tho great rhinoce? ros snorted and bawlsd, while the less ferocious animals, liko the giraffe and eland, shrank trembling into corners, re fating to recognize the 'caresses of their keepers. Acrobats and equestrians executed feats of agility never attempted in the saw-dust ring, some of them going through the car windows in their eager? ness to escupe. Mel vi th executed a pirouette on his head, while Lazello and Wilson gave an exhibition of their skill on the "flying" trapeze, unequalled for rapidity in its execution. Dan Oastello thought that the funniest thing he could say was that "absence of body is better than presence of mind in this case, and ho proceeded to give u practical illustra? tion of his idea, while the old perform? ers involuntarily gave an exhibition of ground and laity tumbling "not set down on the bills." Beu. Lusbio, the "lightning" ticket seller, solved u pro? blem in substruction, with his usual agility, while Summerfield, his assistant, made "obango" with refreshing rapidity. As the accident happened about 2 o'olock in the morning, and the night being aloudy and dark, the confusion that reigned must bo imagined, for it cannot bu described. It was speedily discovered that a oage ooutaining two royal Asiatic lions was among the wreck, and the teriified per? formers were not long in ascertaining that these two monarchs of the jangle were loose and unharmed. This fact added to tho terror of the scone, and a stampede for safety immediately ensued. Professor Charles White, the celebrated lion tamer, alone remainod undismayed, and immediately began perfecting ar? rangements to secure bis pets, a feat, as may bo supposed, not easily accom? plished. Providing himself with an or? dinary raw-hide, Professor White ad? vanced toward the spot where the two unleashed brutes stood glancing fero? ciously about them; but he hud not ap? proached very near to them when he was greetod with a terrific roar from the male, which broke the stillness of the night in awful and startling manner. It "meant business," and as the great beast stood erect, lashing his tawny sides with his tail, it was evident that for a time, at least, he was "monarch of all he sur? veyed," Tbe little "kitten" or baby lion par? took of the general excitement, and mewed piteously. At times the lioness would seize it in her mouth and look furiously about, as if upon the point of leapiDg into the darkness in search of a safo retreat, and for a time things looked squally. The lion tamer, however, was at work, and, procuring a stout rope, he succeeded ia throwing it over the head of the male lion, and in a few moments be waa securely fastened to a tree. The female, however, with a perverseness pe? culiar to her Bex, and, perhaps, infuri? ated by the recent loss of two of her "kittens," was not so tractable and shooed fight; but Professor White's de? termined manner soon brought her to terms, and slip-noosing the yoanger one, and slowly drawing it into an empty oage, the mother was iuduced to follow, and thus were both the ferooious beasts secured, and all immediate danger from them was over. The other animals were captured with? out much trouble, and at about 10 o'clock the show arrived at Corry, where an immense crowd of people wero pa? tiently awaiting their coming. It is at once singular, and fortunate that no one was seriously injured, nor were any very valuable animals hurt. Four curs, with their contents, were wrecked, and many animals let loose, but it is believed that most of them have been recaptured, tho lions being the only dangerous ones that were let loose. Great credit is due to Professor White for his intrepidity, for had ho been less determined, serious loss of life might have occurred through tho ferocity of the two brutes that hud so suddenly se? cured their freedom.-Tilusville Courier. TnE MOUNT VERNON REGENCY-IM? PROVEMENT OE THB ESTATE, &O.-The Council of Vice-Regents of tho Mount Vernon estate, hold last week, eleoted Mrs. Mason, of Virginia, and Mrs. Dil? lon, of Iowa, as Vice Regents of those States. Miss Cunningham, the Regent, in her report stated the various improve? ments that bad been made nineo tho last Council. Among these were the putting of a furnaoo in tho cellar to protect the foundation from dampness, the building of three tanks, and tho purchase of afire engine. The drainage of the place, which was always imperfect, has been improved, and they hope thoreby to check ague and fever. There has been a road constructed from tho wharf to the tomb. More than 900 fruit trees have boen set out, and in time will bo a sourco of revenue. The grounds be? tween the tomb and river have been cleared of undergrowth and planted with tho magnificent gift of Mr. Corcoran, consisting of nearly 800 rare foreign evergreens. These evergreens were im? ported by Mr. Corcoran especially for this purpose SOUTHERN CiiAiMS.-Congress having madu un appropriation for the payment of tho awards made by the commission appointed to audit Southern claims, these claims are to bo audited by tho Third Auditor, and paid as soon as the accounts can bo adjusted. Four Vioo-Presidonts of tho United States have been re-elected to tho office. They were John Adams, George Clinton, Daniel D. Tompkins and John C. Cal? houn. AN OTU EB TRENT.-It seems to os that the Pr?sident had better keep a bright look-oat on his carpet-bag Governors, or they will get him into trouble when he least expects, and oompel him, in this warm weather, to come book from Long Branch. A new spook-no bigger than a muo's hand, bot possibly pregnant of mischief-is visible in the Northern sky. It seems that, a day or two ago-and for this we have the authority of a journal high in favor with the State Department, and trusted with all secrets-Sir Edward Thoroton called on the Secretary and presented voluminous documents bearing apon the abduction of an Amerioan named Rufus Brattan, at Loudon, Upper Oanndu, by our Government officials, on a charge of robbing a poet office at Hills? boro, N. C., and forcibly took him to Detroit, in violation of the extradition treaty. All the facts relating to tho ab? duction are plainly set forth, and the British Minister makes a demand that be shall be returned to London and set at liberty; and if the United States has any demand npon him, they must par sue the course laid down in the treaty. Such in the aoconnt given by the New York Herald, on which we have only to remark, that "robbing a po it office" is a crime not provided for by any existing treaty, and hence the story is improba? ble, und, if it be true, pots the Federal authorities, if they committed the act, in a still more awkward position. The other story, which has found currency,, and is therefore uncontradicted, is that the kidnapped man waa a fugitive from South Carolina, suspected of 'Ku E.lux ism," and diffident of Judge Bond and his packed juries; that armed detectives were sent after him by Governor Scott, who secured him at night on .British soil, ironed and norootized him, aud_in that condition carried him off, first to Detroit, where they evaded judicial scrutiny, and thence South. We have no opinion to express as to which story is most probable, though we incline to the Ku Klux version. Bat be this as it may, the issue is perfectly certain. The man will have to be sent back, unless be be treated as Secretary Seward and Ad? miral Porter did the Florida at New Port News-put out of the way. N$t only was the search on British soil perse an outrage-and if applied to us -we should have thought so-but if the al? leged offence be a political one, as Ku Kluxiam certainly ?F, the question of the right of asylum urises to make matters worse. There is a fixed role in all such coses. Some eleven years ago, two "in? famous rebels," parents of Ku Klux, were rather unceremoniously taken from the protection of the British flag and brought within this jurisdiction. What happened all recollect. It occurs to us that the streets and houses of an inland English town, for such is Canadian Lon? don, ate at least as sacred as the quarter deck of a West India steamer, and that Gen. Grant and Mr. Fish will have to do precisely what Lincoln and Seward did. We trust that there will be no prelimi? nary fuss, but that everything will be done decently and in order. [Baltimore Gazette. No THIRD CANDIDATE.-It would seem from intelligence from all quarters that even the semblance of organized Demo? cratic opposition against the Cincinnati Liberal movement DO longer exists. The New York Commercial Advertiser, (Re publicaD,) which has signalized itself by its hostility to Mr. Greeley, says, with a woeful attempt at pleasantry, that it is "pleased to know that it is becoming dearly manifest that Greeley and Brown will be endorsed by the Baltimore Con? vention," and that "the World begins to seo this, and to trim its sails according? ly." The New York IleraUl&aya: "There can be no longer any doubt that the groat Democratic party is drifting to the independent Liberal Republican num? bers. The probability is that more than the traditional majority of -delegates will meet at Baltimore pledged to endorse the Presidential ticket of Greeley and Brown." The North-west seems to be united with the South in upholding the Cincinnati nominees. The Democracy of each of the States of Kansas, Iowa, South Carolina and Florida, in State Convention assembled, early last week, declared for the Cincinnati candidates in their delegates orin their instructions to their delegates to Baltimore. The Vermont, Missouri and Indiana Demo? cratic Conventions have since done the same; Indiana, without regard to Mr. Voorhees' previous opposition, Pennsyl? vania, Massachusetts, New York, Con? necticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, North Carolina, Virginia, Geor? gia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Nevada, Ore? gon, California, West Virginia, Minne? sota, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana and Wisconsin aro all moving in the same direction. Now Jersey is as yet unde? cided, and game little Delaware has au anti-Greeley delegation for Baltimore, but no doubt she will gracefully yield to superior numbers. Maryland is un? doubtedly for Greeley.-Baltimore Sun. THE NEWEST SLATE.-At the Willard mass meeting, held on Monday evening, the following State ticket was nomi? nated: A. J.
