Of foar oases advanced, England repudiates three; and in the fourth, she coutends that the Admiralty acted promptly, although the police he? sitated to take proper steps to prevent her departure. The oourt is also consi? dering the question of allowing interest on the amounts awarded. It is stated that the majority of the board are unfa? vorable to such allow anco. It is regard? ed as probable that, after a careful in? vestigation of each case, the tribunal will fix the amount of indemnity to be paid by England, at a gross sum. Ohas.

He who turns his nose up at his work, quarrels with his bread and butter. He ?B a poor smith who is afraid of his own spark; there is some discomfort in all trades except chimney sweeping. If sailors gave np going to sea because of the wet; if bakers left off baking bread because it was hot work; if plowmen would not plow because of oold, and tailors would not make our olothes, for fear of prick? ing their fingers, what a pass we would come to. Nonsense, my fine fellow, there's no shame about any honest call? ing; don't be afraid of soiling your hands, there's plenty of soap to be had. All trades are good to good traders. Luoifer matches may pay well if you sell enough of them. You cannot get honey if you are frightened at the boes, nor plant oom if yon are afraid to get mud on your boots. When bars of iron melt under the South winds; when you dig the fields with tooth-picks, blow ships along with a fan, manure the crops with lavender water, and grow plum oakes in flower-pots, there will be a fine time for all, but until the millennium oomes wo Bhall have a deal to put np* with. So it seems that the rebel archives, purohased by tho Government for $75,000, are to be published as a cam? paign document by the Grant party. There has been already a great deal of history writing at publio expense, of whioh the most shining example is Mr. Badeau's nae of War Department records and clerks in making his eminent work. Bot this rare and curious publication is a new attempt "to fire the Northern heart," for the net sum of $75,000. The slender pretext that the purchase of the doonmehts waa made so that the treason of rebel claimants for damages from the Government might be exposed, disap? pear". It is intended to reopen the old sore again; we are to have the o i ty-ber la? ing, the well-poisoning and the conta? gion-spreading business all retold, for fear people might forget there had been a war, and make up their minds to live at peace with their countrymen. Is this worth while? Most these dead-and-gone quarrell be revived everlastingly that demagogues may thrive? [Neto York Tribune. There are 96,942 scholars in tho publio F chook of New York. Ilevercly Jo tina?n Compares Grant ?sd Greeley. Ia responso to a rcqneat of Congress? man James Brooks, of New York, for an expression of bis political views, the Hon. Reverdy Johnson bas written a long letter, exhaustively discussing the present issues, iu whioh he says: BALTIMORE, July 15, 1872. The question with the people now is, whioh of the two will they have for their next President, U. S. Grant or Horace Greeley? The former, during the past three years, in the judgment of all im? partial men, has proved his utter unfit? ness for the office; the latter, during a perid of more than thirty years, as the editor of a leading journal, has proved I himself, in the judgment of all impar? tial and competent men, to be a man of extraordinary ability, perfect patriotism and incorruptible integrity. Has not General Grant demonstrated his unfit? ness for the Presidency? His whole career os President has been full of blun? ders, to uso no milder term. A few in? stances wiil establish this statement: 1. His selection o! his first Cabinet waa made without consultation with any honest and experienced friend, and with? out regard to merit. He nominated as the head of the Treasury a highly re? spectable merchant of New York, in ignorance of the fact that by the 8th eeotion of the Act of the 22d of Septem? ber, 1789, such an appointment is ex? pressly prohibited, and this upon grounds of the dearest policy-the pro? vision being' that no person concerned in trade, directly or indirectly, is eligible to any office created by that Act, and after finding his error, he foolishly re? quested Congress to modify the provi? sion so as to enable him to make the ap? pointment. 2. His selection of his relatives foi high and important traste, at home and abroad, obviously without ascertaining whether they were fit, and his refnsal tc remove many of them, after their unfit ness had boen plainly exhibited. 3. His negotiations for the aunexutior. of the Dominican Republic, throngh nc minister selected with the approval ol tbe Senate, and bis undignified lobby ing with Senators to procure its ratifica tion; and his impertiment and insulting message to Congress, after the treat] was rejected, in whioh he designated tin rejection as an Act of "folly." Iii usurpations of the war power in threat ening Hay ti, having the means at ham of making good his threat, if they conti nued their hostilities against Dominica and doing this not only while the treat; was under consideration by the Senate but after they had rejected it. 4. His open and shameless ase of hi power of patronage to support his per sonal administration and to secure a re election. 5. His compelling Secretary Cox, gentleman of ability, who faithfull served his country dui ing the war as general officer, and who was administei ing the Interior Department to the sabit faotion of tho country, to resign, becaus be had refused to tolerate the assessmer. apon the salaries of his clerks for part purposes, thereby countenancing th legality and propriety of such asses: meats. No greater violation of dut ooald be perpetrated. 6. His not permitting, but virtual! ordering, the members of his Cabin? and bureau officers to canvass the Stat? where elections have been or may be di pending in his behalf-thus seriously ii terferiug with the public business whit they alone wore appointed to attend ti and for which alone they are paid. 7. In not only disapproving of tl acta of Congress known as tho Euforc ment Acts of 1870 and 1871, but io rec lessly currying them oat by means of tl military. 8. By hi J otter disregard of tho righ of the States and of the people. 1 holding the latter still as enemies, ai ander this pretence continuing the mi tary occupation of some of the Statt and not iatorfering in any degree wi the unconstitutional, reckless and cc rapt governments which, from tho fit to the present time, have plunder those States, involving them in aime hopeless bankruptcy. 9. His management of our foreign r lati?os. His management of tba A bama claims ander the Washingt treaty. It is uafortuaately but too tr that his conduct in this respect, frc the moment that the difficulty present itself to the period when it was remov ia the maaner just stated, has but serv to impair our character abroad and in< tify us at home, ia makiag the world, one time, believe that we wore a nutt of sharpers, and at another, a nation blockheads. 10. His conduct and the conduct the party ia Congress and out of it, whom he is supported, ia extending I powers of the General Government yond those delegated, in direct anta nism to rights and powers not only in! rent in the States and the people of t States, but expressly reserved to th by the Constitution itself. In this enumeration of the objeclu to the election of President Grant, I not desire to impugn his motives. I willing to concede that they are go and that he believes them to be pa otic; but my conviction is, and, if I oapablo of jadgmeut, the facta whiol have stated demonstrate its Bouudm that, conceding his motives to bo go he does not know what the Constitu? is, and is entirely ignorant of tho prii pies whioh should govern a republic 1 ours. I proceed now to submit to you sc observations in relation to Mr. Gree In the first place, his love of com cannot bo doubted. His ability, i played in the arduous position of editor of a leading journal for \ maoy years, the thousands and huudr of thousands who have been bis const readers will readily admit. Tbat he I at times, inouloated doctrines wi many good and able men have thou unsound, is, no doubt, true. But v statesman has not? His opinion ou tho doctrine of protec? tion is now contested by many men of ability and patriotism. Whether his policy is sound or not is a point upon whioh even able meu differ. But this is certain, that when Mr. Greeley adopted it he had the support of some of the ablest of our statesmen, having at their head Henry Clay, a uume never men? tioned in theheariugof Americans with? out admiration and gratitude. If Mr. Greeley has erred, it should be held to be some extenuation that he erred in such company. That his opinion is honestly entertained, and has been main? tained with great ability, must be con? ceded. But does Gen. Grant hold the opposite opinion? or has he any opinion on this nioe problem of political econo? my? If he bas one (I've no idea he has, his studies never having run on that line,) he certainly never has expressed it, and from his enforced reticence, if he was to do so, would not be able to give his reasons. But why should Mr. Gree? ley's opinion on this point be any objec? tion td his election? He has accepted the nomination he received at Cincinna? ti, and with an engagement to act upon the principien therein announood. One of them is. I'quote it, tbat "recognizing that there is in our midst honest but ir reconcilable differences of opinion, witb regard to the respective systems of pro tection and free trade, we remit the dis cussioo of the subject to the people it their Congress Districts, and to the deci sion of Congress thereon, wholly free o: Executive interference or dictation." This gives to the friends of free tradi an opportunity of satisfying the peoph that their doctrine in the correct one, anc that if Congress shall so decide, their de cisi?n will uot be disapproved of by Mr Greeley. Whether free trude or protec tion is to receive the sanction of Con gress will not depend upon the opinioi of the President, even if he has one and is disposed to act upon it. He cai effect nothing except as he may bo abl to influence Congress by bia patronage and thia no man flt for the office wouli attempt, because to do so would be a pal pable effort to corrupt thut department That Mr. Greeley would not take such step is certain, because he is honest, an because the platform upon which h agrees tu stand prohibits it. Beforo the war, and occasionally dui ing its continuance, his treatment of tb South was believed by many to hav beeu unnecessarily harsh. But in thi no one seriously questioue.il his motivei They were in no respect personal, c other than patriotic. The war ove: what hus been his course? From tb first moment to the present hour be ht earnestly desired, and has done all in h power to effect it, to restore peace an prosperity to the South. A constant au ardent friend cf geueral amnesty, and i universal suffrage, he cannot but hai commended himself to the good opiuic of tho white and colored citizens of th region. The latter, perhaps, are mo iudebted to him and tho Hon. Charl Sumner for the rights now secured them than to any other two men in tl country. His generosity and kind r gard for Southern men was strongly lustrated by his becoming one of t! bail of Mr. Jefferson Davis, which te miuated his cruelly protracted impriso ment. For this step he was deuounc by the Radicals of his party, and pu tioularly by such of them as belong the Uuion League of Now York. Th proposed his expulsion; and who c forget, who has ever read it, the proi letter of defiance which he addressed tho League on the 23d of May, 18G7? that letter ho quoted extracts from t Tribune to Bhow how decided his opini was that those who had beeu engaged the insurrection should be enfranchise and their estates exempted from cont catiou. He justified haviug become i uurity for Mr. Davis, und in bis lett' among other things, said: "Your tompt to base a great, enduring party the hate and wrath necessarily engend ed by a bloody civil war, is us thou yon should plant a colony on au icebt which had somehow drifted into a tro cal ocean. I tell you hero that, out o life earnestly devoted to tho good haman kiud, your children will sel my going to Richmond and signing tl bail-bond as the wisest act, and will i that it did more for freedom and 1 mauity than all of yon were compel to do, though you had lived to the i of Methuselah. " You will have thus seen what I th of the present political condition of country. Uuless I am greatly mistak it must give to every unprejudiced, telligent and patriotic man much auxi and alarm. How is this anxiety t alarm to be removed? By removing cause of it. By refusiug a re-elect to General Grunt, to whom, in a gi measure, if not exclusively, it is owi and by placing in the Presidential ol Mr. Greeley, whose entire life has hibited his generous qualities, hts g ability, his brave patriotism and his suspected integrity. To bo rich, he accept no presents, but would scoruf reject them if offered. He has scores of relutives to provide for oui the publio fuuds by plucing then offices for which they are grossly oompetent, and, if be had, he woald so place them. He will not exert his trouage to influence State elections c secure a re-election for himself. He not permit the publio funds, by mt of a tax upon thu salaries of his offic to be used for party purposes. He not stiffer his secretaries or their sube nates to abandon their posts of duty their attention to the publio businet traverse State after State on election ing visits, so as to bring the iufluenc office in conflict with freedom of < Hons. He will seo that onr foreign ; tions are so managed as to give In and not disgrace to the nation. He not tolerate the uso of the military the control of the eleotive franol He will not trample upon tho right the Staten or the people by deda States to be in rebellion when they not. And my hope is to live to seo day when these vital changes will be made; when all 8olioito.de about the fate : of our country will be quieted; when peace and prosperity will be secured to i the entire nation; when the guaranteed i rights of the citizen will be protected, < tho legitimate powers of the States '. maintained, and the authority of the ; General Government exerted only under the restrictions of the Constitution. In < a word, when the Constitution be- , queathed to us by our fathers shall in all things be observed, and when we will \ have a President intelligent and patriotic , enough to keep his official oath to "pre? serve, proteot and defend it." When all these things shall ocour, and ! not until then, will oar prosperity and power be renewed, and our oooutry be- \ come, as it was in former days, the won der and admiration of- the world. REVERDY JOHNSON. THE SONS OF TEMP?RANCE.-In pu reu- 1 ance of the resolution adopted at the last meeting of the Grand Division in ] Charleston, that body met at this placo | on yesterday. Chester was selected ns the place of meeting, ns a compliment , to her for having the banner division in , the State in point of members. Ches? ter Division and Fidelity Division have united to give an entertainment to the j Grand Division and to the friends of temperance. This will take plaoe on to? morrow, the 26tb instant. These di vi- < ?ions will assemble at the hall of Chester Division, at 10 o'clock, and move in pro? cession, in the full regalia of the order, i to the grove near Mr. J. H. Walker's re- ] sidence. There addresses will be deli? vered by B. D. Townsend, Esq., and , others. - Chester Reporter. L . THE FEMALE COLONEL GIIAFIIIN.-Sir Toby, who was permitted to inspect the ? female Col. Claflin, in full regimentals, '( at a private seance the other evening, . pronounces the report that her beauty is fading utterly false. Her gallant bru? nettes claim that she is the handsomest officer of the National Guards, and Sir 1 Toby feels certain that when she makes \ her public appearance a cheval the gene? ral opinion will confirm the judgment of her colored braves. 1 It appears that the recent reverse of Baez, President of Santo Domingo, 1 amounted to a defeat, which he sus fained at the hands of Cabrai. The lat? ter, however, retros ted from his ad van- 1 tageous position, having no more am? munition. Baez is reported to be : stayed and comforted ia these trying oir- i camstncces by the hope that his country < will yet be annexed to the United States. His confidence in President Grant's pow? er and pertinacity is truly sublime. HORRIBLE DEATH OF A Lrrri.E Box.- , In Selma, Ala., on Tuesday, a little boy, son of Dr. Russell McCord, while at play in the yard, at bia grandmother's resi? dence, flying a kite, walked backward into a kettle of boiling syrup. Before he could be extricated by his mother and others alarmed by his shrieks, the little fellow was so horribly barned that death relieved his agony ia about three hours after tho accident. It is bad enough behavior for a woman to run off and leave her husband to get on through life without her assistance, but when one of the legs with whioh he must take the journey is of wood, it is a "fiendish outrage" for her to carry that away. An English woman has done this very same thing, and the poor husband is left with but one leg to stand upon and no wife to help him along. A few days B?nce a "wee bit of a boy' astonished his mother. She had occa? sion to chastise him slightly, for some offence he had committed. Charley sat very quietly in his chair for some time afterward, no doubt thinking profound? ly. At last he spoke oat thas: "Muz zer, I wish pa'd get anuzzer housekeep? er; I'so got tired seeiu' you around 1" The physicians who luminously dis? coursed at the Stokes trial will be grati? fied to hear from the lips of the jurymen that the intelligent body "gave the medical testimony no consideration whatever." It is worth while to be a doctor when the road to professional immortality is so easy. It is said to be a curious fact that while foxes, cranes and squirrels are abundant on the Indiana side of the Ohio River, they are never seen on the Kentucky side; * and, strange enough, the grey squirrel, to befound anywhere on the Kentucky side, is rarely or never seen on the Indiana shore. Jack Hairston, of Danville, Va., re? cently had his skull crushed and portions of it driven into his brain by a stone thrown from a blast. He was trepanned, and three days after, walked twenty-five miles under a broiling sun, to visit his family. Two daughters of Robert Hicks, of North Carolina, were graduated on the same day, engaged and married on the same day and by the same minister, and professed religion and were baptized on the same day. Conkling says that amnesty is a dead I issn e. Ou this head, Mr. Greeley's let? ter of acceptance makes a point or two. It will be well for the people to read both, before they deoide about the fune? ral. An English chemist avers that the manufacture of wine is now oonducted on such highly soientifio principles, that grapes are gradually being dispensed with. Asan Atlanta judge was administer? ing a sentence, the prisoner encourag? ingly remarked: "Go io, old bald head!" This was more than the judge could "bear," and thc sentence was appropri? ately lengthened. Aohnrch in Philadelphia, on a recent Sunday, was ornamented with canary birds, whioh sang during the servioes. Anything for a novelty. A Richmond man has worn the same pair of linen trousers forty-nine sum? mers. They have been in style sereu times. Haxtrnnft, the Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, is said to bave won laurels at the scaffold of the unfortunate Mrs. Surratt. It is esti? mated that he will be beaten by abont ?0,000 majority; and this secures the old Keystone State for Greeley and Brown next fall. Lexington County being a Democratic ?onnty, Grant proposes to reduoe the majority there by means of the Ku Klux act. The Dispatch learns that there are ?bout 150 warrants to be issued for the irrest of citizens of that County. Among the live freight brought to Sa? vannah, Ga., by the steamer Nick King, from Florida, was a large grey eagle mptured in Florida, which its captor in? tends presenting to the most prominent Greeley club in Massachusetts. Hezekiah Porter, of York, S. C., ono jf the victims of Grant's Ku Klux policy, aas died at the Albany Penitentiary. A man at Fort McPherson, Iowa, picked hie teeth with a straw, and then blod to death. George Washington's wedding ring is still preserved. It is of gold, with a topaz. They are complaining of cold at Vir? ginia City, Nevada. They were ?' 'iged to kindle fires on the 30th of June. At Bloomington, 111., the liquor law ia 3oiged by placard over the saloons "Admittance ten cents; drinks free." A Grant audience in Michigan incon? tinently fled on the appearance of a co? lored orator. . The New York Herald will soon start in expedition to fix the disputed location ot the Garden of Bdeu. At a regnlar Communication . ol Aeaeia Lodge, No. 91, A. F. M., held on Thursday avering, the 25th instant, the following reso? lutions were unanimously adopted; IN MEMORIAM. Whereas an All-wise Providence has seen lt and proper to remove from time to eter? nity our much-beloved friend and brother, W. T. WALTER, an honorary member of this Lodge, who has been out down in the prime Df his life and in the midet of his usefulness. Death has entered oar ranks, thereby weak? ening tho chain by which we aro united man to man. By his death our Masonic home has lost an attractive power, and the fraternity one of its most highly valued and useful members. As a friend, Brother Walter was never wanting in readiness, fidelity and zeal; a kind and affectionate husband; as a Bon, dutiful and kind to bis bereaved parent; and as a Mason, good and true. Therefore, be it Resole ra", That we hereby extend to tho deeply afflicted family of our deceased bro? ther1 our sincore sympathy in their bereave? ment, and offer to them, as comfort and con? solation, that while a bright light has gone ont in the home circle, a new stir bas been added to the family constellation in that world where de?th can never enter. ? Resolved, That a page of our.record book be set apart to the memory of our deceased brother, W. T. Walter, and that a copy of these resolutions, together with the memo? rial, bo presented, with the most earnest sympathy and condolence of the Lodge, to his widow, and that the jewels of the Lodge and portrait of our deceased brother be draped ia mourning, and the brethren wear tho usual badge fur thirty days. Resolved, That these resolntions be pub? lished in the daily papers of Columbia at least one time. Extract from the minutes. P. M. DRENNAN, Ja , Secretary Acacia Lodge. -K= Auction Sale?.
