This, together with the anteced? ents of the other prisoners, it is believed conclusively establishes the fact that the men had no political fooling whioh would have prompted the assassination of his Majesty, but were merely the hired in? struments of a politioal conspiracy. Previous to the attempt at assassination, the King had received au anonymous communication, warning him that his life was iu danger. When the attaok on the royal party was made, a sharp en? gagement ocourred between the would be assassins and police and the King's escort ; his Majesty himself was anxious to participate, bat was prevented by hie attendants.

[Charlesion New How Honest Settler* are Received. The arjDOXod letter, any? tue Baltimore Sun, in regard to South Carolina, its people, their disposition and prospects, is interesting, aud gives refutation to muoh that has been alleged against the people of that State in justification of the continued persecutions practiced to? wards tbem. It is from a gentleman who is a Republican in politics, and not a native of South Carolina, but of Mary? land, who, being a Unionist during the war, has since made his homo in South Carolina: COLUMBIA, S. C., May 31, 1872. Wm. L. Southard, Esq.-DEAR SIB: Your letter of the 15th iustant reached me several days ago, and would have re? ceived an earlier attention, but for press inn official engagements. I am glad to have an opportunity to give my views briefly on the several subjects mentioned i in your letter. And first as to the cli? mate here. It is mild and salubrious. I do not think it surpassed in theso re? spects anywhere on this oontinent. Pro? fessor M. La Borde, in his Physiology, while speaking of climate and mineral waters, says: "It will be gratifying to the Southern community to know that we hate in the Stutesof South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia as fine a cli? mate, perhaps, as can be found in the world, and mineral waters whioh will compare favorably with those of the highest celebrity." Diseases generally are of a much milder form than they are in tho more Northern latitudes, and many diseases that are very prevalent and very fatal in the North aro almost entirely unknown here. I am certain that neither consumption, pneumonia, pleurisy, nor any of the forms of ca? tarrh, nor rheumatic aod neuralgio affeo tions, are anything like as prevalent oi as severe here as they are in colder eli mates, and of course far less fatal. As to the effect of the climate of tbii locality upon Northern people who setth here, I can best answer that question bi stating that there are about fifty North ern families living in Columbia, wh< have Bottled hore ?ince the close of th< late war, and I am sure I am safe in say ing there has not been overa half doze) deaths in these families since their resi dence here. Nay, there is less sicknes in Northern families residing here thai there is in the families of the natives Whether this is because Northern peopl bring with them healthier syuieins um more vigorous constitutions than the ol residents possess, thus enabling Iber, tho better to resist disease, or wbethe there is something in tho habits of th Northman that gives him an advautag in this respect over the Southron "to tb manor born," I am not prepared to sa] the fact, however, is none the less trut whatever may be the explanation of i My experience and observation, then fore, teaoh me to conclude that the cl mate of this region is fully as friendly I the stranger as it is to the native. Now, as to the personal safety i Northern mou who settle here. This a subject embracing each a wide field i circumstances that I might dilate ape it almost to endless exteot. Bot so mue has already been said in this oonneotic in the newspapers, pro and con., by po! tioiaus, for political effect, that tho pe plo have learned to look with auspicie apon everything that is said upon tb subject, and to take the honest views unprejudiced minds BB mere politic clap-trap, that I forbear to say more thi that I have lived here nearly six yeai have mingled as much, perhaps moi with the people tban any other Northe man here; have met with gentlem from every part of the State, many whom wore most earnest in their sn port of the Confederate cause, havi sacrificed their entire fortunes upon t altar of their political faith, and I ha not heard a single expression, with o or two exceptions, that might be cc strued into opposition to honest, spectable Northern men settling he I have tried to bo au impartial observ and from all the data that I have be able to collect, my logic forces me to t conclusion that an honest man, oe Jew or Gentile, como from where ho m and whatever bo his creed, who tries make an honest living iu a decent v through any of the multitudiw legitimate avenues of business, ia ju:,' safo here from personal violence ns would bo in Massachusetts or New Ye I know that thore have been rai outrages and acts of violence commit here of late, but theso difficulties purely political. Tho people of South have not been able to recon themselves to the new order of thi here. They cannot believe that i right and just and most promotive the public good that tho ignorant, illiterate and the corrupt should na and administer the laws, while the ii ligent and educated pay the taxes-1 all the expenses of the State, wit! having any voice in the administra of its affairs. And ia it surprising they should feel some unkindness tov those who thus deprive them of m dearest privileges? "Love your enea bless them that ourse you, do gooc them that hate you, and pray for t that despite!olly use you and perse you," is beautiful enough in theory, hard to praotioe. "Do nato other you would that others should do i you," is, in my opinion, muoh bi advice, and, if followed by those aspire to mould and direct publio s meat, there would be less oause bitterness between factions, less G between neighbors, and more cool mont and happiness among the ma because more poaoeful and more proi ons. In view of all tho circumstances devastation cf their country, the des tion of their homes by the iron he the war, the loss of property, thor scent from wealth aod ease to poi aod hardships, defeat iu battle, ec of their long cherished and foi hopes, their own degradation and elevation to places of power aud pi meat of their former slaves, whom were taught to regard as only fl "hewers of wood aud drawers of water," the abridgment or deprivation of their political privileges, I thiuk the Southern people have behaved with u good deal of forbearance. Though some political out? rages have be'.n committed, what people auder the sun, subjected to tho same provocations, would not have done ss much and more? Reverso the resulta of the war, and impone upon tho people of the North the ?amo onerous and to them odious bnrtheoB that the people hore have had to endure; in a word, suppose we transfer thu whole set of circum? stances under which the Southern com? munity bas lived since the war, and is still living, to the loyal, law-abiding North, and think you that all would bo borne meekly and tamely, without any exhibition of feeling-no murmur against oppressive and unequal govern? ment, no breach of tba public peace? Would the Northern people servilely stoop and kiss the rod that smote them? Not if I know them properly. And I tell you that haman nature is the same in South Carolina that it is in other parts of the world. Yon may say that the Southern people are themselves respon? sible for their misfortunes. Be it so. Does that make them any the less mis? fortunes, or soften in the least the mise? ries they entail? If you cast a stone against a resisting surfaco and it re? bounds and fractures ono of your limbs, is the pain any less acute because you threw the stone yourself? I am no apologist for the Southern people, nor do I pretend to justify the political outrages committed here; my notions of Republicanism are utterly at war with such practices. I was a soldier iu the Uuited States army during the war, and no man rejoiced more than I did at the downfall of the Confederacy, because it re-established the integrity and mprnmrtp.y of the Federal Union. But this does not warrant the annihila? tion of the enemy after he has laid down his arms and tn ado an honorable surren? der. I am .".Iso a Republicau, and am iden? tified with the party here; but this is nc reason why I should stigmatize those who oppose the political principles which I espouse as traitors and murderers, and unworthy to bo trusted with the public weal, aud unentitled to the privileges ol freo citizens. The point I want to make is this: Thal the only persons the Southern people art inimical to are venal and unprincipled politicians, who, under the misuomer ol Republicanism, seek to force obnoxiou: and oppressive measures upon the peo pie, for their own aggrandizement, re gardless of the public good. Your next question-namely, opportu nities for business-is more difficult tc answer. The professions are all crowded Merchants complain of bard times am dull business, (but this does not provi anything, it is a fashion of theirs-forci of habit, perhaps.) A large number o persons, reduced by the war from afflu euoe to comparative poverty, and whi never before kuow what it was to labo in any capacity, being now compelled ti earn their living "by the sweat of thei brows," pretty well supply the demnm for labor, both mental and manual. Still I cannot bat think that with the in creased development of the natural re sources of the country, which aro variei and abundant; the progress of interna improvements, which the spirit of th age demands shall go forward; the build iug of new lines of railroads and tele graphs, the establishing of manufaotc ries, &c, Sec., lhere is room enough fo all who may desire to lind homes in thi sunny clime. To those who may wish to turn thei attention to the cultivation of the soil, would 8 ty, come to South Carolina, an come at once. No section of our com try offers better inducements for invesi monte in real estate than does this. Lan cuu bu purchased here for from oue do lar up to twenty dollars per acre, nu snug littlo homes of from twenty I sixty acres aud upwards, with comfoi able residences, can bo had for S 1,000 I $3.000, and largo tracts of land stiitab for sub-dividing iuto small can bo bougl at exceedingly low figures. I am satisfied that us BOOU as tho U| heavings of society consequent upon tl war can have time to subside, and peai resumes once moro her wonted swa; aud the natural advantages of tho Soul become more generally known, cute prising, home-seeking thousands w pour into her borders from all parts the world. And when they como with honesty purpose-come to help build up t! broken fortunes of tho State; come people her unoccupied lands, and to ct tivate and enrich her wasted fields, rebuild her burnt cities aud to foui new ones; to make tho shores of b splendid water courses ring with t busy hum of machinery; to fell h mighty forests, and to dig down into t bowels of the earth, and bring up h rich metals, and refine them and apr. them to the various uses of man-th can I guarantee them a hearty welcoi from the whole people, and respect, a sooial oonfidenoe, and consideration. I would add, that thoso who once ma their homes here are never willing leave, if they find suitable means of int ing a living. There is a obarm in t olimato, and a fascination in the beat and luxuriousness of the plants a flowers, that must awaken even t dullest natures to admiration, and attn them to the country. I have known I one person who settled here since t war to get dissatisfied and leave, an. confidently expect to see him back hi before the end of auother winter. Hoping that I have answered all yi questions fairly and honestly, with< doing violence to the feelings or o nions of any fair-minded man, I n very respectfully, J. F. ENSOR There has been considerable morti ty this summer, among tho Brit troops stationed in Calcutta and In generally, owing to the intenso heat t! has prevailed there. MEETING OF THE SOOTH CAROLINA BOND HOLDERS-PLENTY OF SYMPATHY, DOT LITTLE MONEY.-Au ndjouroed meet iug of tbe holders of South Carolina bunds took plane yesterday, at the office of Drake & Brother, 66 Broadway, with a view of taking some eonoerted actiou for the oolleetion of the over-due inte? rest on these bonds and tho prosecution of the Stute officers who have misappro? priated the funds collected for the carry? ing on of the State Government. Mr. A. A. Drake ocoapied the chair, and called the meeting to order a few miuates after noon. There were but thirteen persons present at fifteen minutes after the hour named for the meeting. Mr. E. A. Quintard reported that there had buen some subscriptions made to? ward tbe fund necessary to employ coun? sel to couduot the prosecution. Mr. Drake said they had reaeived letters con? veying sympathy, but no funds. "Others think that wo are running this in the in? terest of the South Carolina ring. We propose to commence proceedings as soon us the per centage on 8500,000 is subscribed." Mr. Quintard stated that names representing $300,000 had been secured to the list. Mr. Lewis offered a resolution, that tho Secretary publish a notice in all the leading papers, calling upon all holders of South Carolina bonds to call at the office of Drake Brothers and contribute one per cent, of the amonntof the bonds held by them. When a sufficient sub? scription to justify it be made, a meeting be called, and the counsel authorized to commence proceedings. He spoke for some minutes upon the resolution; de? clared that the Governor and the finan? cial agents of the State were amenable to the law, and the Governor had property within the reach of the Federal Court. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Broadwell offered a resolution, instructing the committee to ask the co-operation of bond-holders in other cities. Mr. Chichester, of Sooth Carolina, said that the word "repudiate" is not found iu the vocabulary of the South Carolinians, who are an honorable peo? ple; but if $20,000,000 per year is to be added to the debt, it is to be expected that repudiation might come. If the tux-payers are allowed in tho next elec? tion to control their own affairs, be had no doubt every dollor of the debt would be paid. Ho felt sure that if these carpet-bag rascals wero exposed in the courts before election, it would have a very important bearing upon the elec? tion. Mr. Dowling addressed the meeting, arguing that it would be better to wait until after the election, for these men may not be re-elected, and the expense of prosecution woald be saved. Mr. J. H. Hubbard, counsel for the committee, urged immediate prosecu? tion. He declared that the finanoial statement for South Carolina was made up in this city by Governor Scott; with? out any reference to the books, and was certified to by the Finanoial Board. The meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the Chair, and when the invita? tion to subscribe was extended to those present, but che signed the list. The meeting broke up into little knots, and exoitedly discussed the situation. One gentleman declared it his belief that the movement was a stock-jobbing one, as Mr. Dowling, one of the committee, "is counsel," be dcolared, "for E. K. Wil? lard, who holds $5,000,000 Sooth Caro? lina securities."-New York Herald, 19th. THE LOWREY GANG.-Another of the Lowrey gang of outlaws has been sent to bis 'last account. As the train passed through Lumberton, yesterday morning, the body of the defunct cut-throat, rob? ber rind outlaw had just arrived at that place. Some of tho persons on the train obtained a hasty view of the corpse, as it lay in tho wagon which had brought it from the spot where it was shot. His remains were terribly mutilated. A ball had penetrated ono eye and passed through the back of the head; another had entered the lower jaw on one side of tho head and badly shattered it, while a third passed through un arm and into the bide. The outluw was shot and killed by Mr. Robert Wishart, a younger brother of Captain F. M. Wish? art, who was murdered in cold blood by the outlaws a few months ago. it is supposed that Donahoe, who killed Boss Strong, was with him at the time, as he left Shoo Heel week before last, with ten days' rations, and has not since been seen or heard of. Lowrey was waylaid in what is known as Baft Swamp, about ten miles from Moss Neck, and an equal distance from Lumberton. Young Wishart, who has thus rid the County of Robeson of another of the blood-thirsty desperadoes, and at the same time avenged the death of his brother, (as it ia generally understood that Tom Low? rey killed him,) is only about nineteen years old. He was present with the body at Lumberton. Stephen Lowrey and Andrew Strong are the only two of the gang now left. There is a reward of $5,000 from the State and $500 from the County of Robeson for the capture or doath of Tom Lowrey, whioh amount young Wishart is now entitled to. [Wilmington (ff. C.) Star, 21st. Ned O'Baldwiu aod Jem Mace are matched to fight for $1,000 a side and personal satisfaction. The contest is to take place on the 15th of August. Both men have been in active training for several weeks, and both are reported in excellent condition. Mace is at the Bel? mont Hotel, near tho Jerome Park race? course, and O'Baldwin is in New Jersey. If the fight takes place it will be, it is saiik one of tho hardest on record, as boW of the men aro inspired by a per? sonal animosity, consequent upon jea? lousy. - A colored girl died at Mount Pleasant, a few days ugo, from the effects, (as is supposed,) of beatings given her by a colored mau, named Robert Lovely. Au inquest is to be held. A NEW WAY TO RUN AN ELECTION. Tho Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, of Sa turday, says: It was rumored on onr streets yester? day that a company of United States troops entered the npper end of Samp? son County a few days since, with writs for the arrest of about 100 citizens. It was also reported that one of the Royals, who was taken to Raleigh some time sinse, on the charge of Eu Klnxing in that County, ie now at large and swear? ing promiscuously against the citizens of Sampson. These statements, we learn, come, from a gentleman who left Clinton on Wednec duy. We do not vouch for the correct? ness of the information, but we have no reason to doobt it. If it be true, our readers can very readily conjecture why all these things have come about. Des? perate canes require desperate remedies, and we must expect every means to be resorted to, in the different Counties of the State, to carry the approaching elec? tion for the "party of great moral ideas.' DETENTION OF SAILING VESSELS.-The long prevalence of South-west winds, for many weeks past, has seriously in? terrupted the arrivals of sailing vessels at this port, and a large fleet are overdue. All the steamships passing Cape Hat? teras lately notice quite a number in that neighborhood, which are waiting an op? portunity to pass that well-known point. It hus been blowing so long from a Southerly direction that a obacge may soon be looked for whioh will bring au the delinquents into port. yCharlestou News. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.-Mrs. Howe, residing in New York, was bitten by a mad dog about a month ago, and on Sunday felt a singular sensation in one of ber thumbs. On Monday, she felt ill, and began to manifest all the dreadful symptoms of hydrophobia. It became necessary to strap her to the bed, where she frothed at the mouth, gave screams of pain, and was unable to take food or drink, until death relieved her from Butlering. DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.-Mr. Ams den, well-known in this city, died at the city hospital, lost Friday evening.

A correspondent of the Wilmington Journal, writing from Newton, N. C., re? ports that Gov. Vance said that "ho had been informed by Mr. Reverdy Johnson and Montgomery Blair that the Supreme Court of the United States had decided the Ka Klux law unconstitutional in one of the South Carolina oases, and that the opinion of the court was purposely with? held until after the election." It is stated that on Saturday ovening last, ia Yorkville, sergeant Bobo, of the 7th Cavalry, while in a somnambnlate state, walked out of a two-story window, falling on to the pavement below, break? ing his left arm, cutting a fearful gash in bis bead,and otherwise injuring himself. The sergeant knew nothing of his move? ments until the fall brought him to his senses. A prisoner by the name of Cohen, who is awaiting trial on the oharge of mur? der, attempted to escape from the Bean fort jail, early on Wednesday morning lost. He was captured by another pri? soner, named Isaac Simmons, who is acting as turnkey, just as be was going over the fence, at the back of the jail.
