LONDON, AuguBt 12.-The rojul yacht
squadron regatta wan brought to ucon
- elusion Saturday. Tho challenge cup,
presented by tbe Prince, was won by the
yacht Quendolia. At one time during
the race, Asbnry'n yacht Livonia was
throe miles ahead of all the other ves?
sels, and undoubtedly would have won
the cup, bud not her progress been
stopped by the carrying away of bei
main-top mast.
GENEVA, August 12.-Mr. Cohen, the
English barrister, who drew up the re?
port for the Crown on tho subject of thc
American claims for losses sustuined by
the mercantile marine of the United
States, has been summoned here from
London. This gives rise to conjecture
that a deoision bus been rendered by thc
board upon tbe general question, and
England's responsibility for direct losses
olaimed by America, and that Cohen is
called in to assist the British counsel it
arguing up the amount of damages to bt
assessed by the board. One of the tn mo
reports current here concerning the pro
ceedings of the board and the presen1
position of tho arbitration, is that, uftui
the oases of tho two Governments wen
presented, the counsel on either sidi
went into a lengthy discussion regarding
England's responsibility, the argumeu
' turning mainly upon the question, wiie
tb er the British authorities had exercise!
due diliger. :e to prevent the Conf?d?ral
cruisers from escaping out of her ports
and whether any such responsibility n
the American claims followed upon per
mission to said cruisers to tuke coal a
British stations. S^ir Roundel Palme
opened the discussion on these point?
and spoke at great length iu support o
the nice positions taken in the Britis!
case. Messrs. Waite, Evarts and Cush
ing replied-the latter closing the arge
ment on behalf of the United States
Ia his summing up, Cashing strong!
urged the point that the tame diligonc
upon the part of tho British antboritic
whioh afterwards served to detain th
Confederate rams, would have bee
equally effectual in preventing the ei
cape of the oruisers, had it been exei
oised with reference to them.

celebrated Puffer, us he came pulling iulo

charges made by mo against him, aud
considers them unworthy of notice. How
is it that the post o nice detective at At?

circulating tbe counterfeit bills in Union

a stop to, the mines owe me a debt o?
$7.28-the most part of it for stamps on
credit, which I am iu despair of ever re
covering, even ii. counterleits. lu re?

has given for my leaving Union, 1 an?
fully satisfied to' leave that to the citi?
zens of Union to decide; und consider
him totally unqualified to criticise the
character of thu swamp angels of North
Carolina. I am totally at a loss to know
where could another being be found to
take the dose he has got, with the excep?
tion of his cousin, Judge Alden, an o tin r
unprincipled, blood-sucking scoundrel
aud adventurer. It is as easy to cause u
brass moukey to blush as either of them.
And as for nie being the paid pimp of bi*
Opponent, I will excuse bim for iisiuij
the expression, as bo kuows nothing
better. Invincible ignorance is alway:
free. I have uover yet received us mud
of his opponent's greenbacks as WOtllii

MR. EDITOR: GOV. Scott, in his lette
of August fi, to Messrs. Henry Clows .
Co., states "thut un appropriation wo
made at the sessiou of the Legislature c
1870-71 to pay the interest on tho publi
debt, falling due January, April, Jul
and October, 1872; but that, in cons?
quenoe of tbe expeuses of the last sci
siou of the Legislature being unusual!
large, the money was diverted from th
payment of interest to meet the paj
meat of legislative expeuses and e:
penses incidental, thereby leaving tb
State Treasurer without meaus to mei
the interest, or even ciment expenses.
Se further states, "that no interest ca
possibly be paid before January, 1873, t
a levy under the law is uow being madi
and will be collected between the 20;
November and 15th January next."
Tax-payers of South Carolina, it
time you would awaken to your unforti
nate conditson. You see that a tu:
levied to pay the interest on the bond
(wbioh many contend were fraudulent
I'sued,) bas been misappropriated-tl
Governor uses the more modest ter
"diverted." The State Treasurer b
diverted the funds from the legitima
purpose for which they were appropi
ated, to meet the expenses of the Legi
lature for 1871-72. About $1,000.000
the people's hard-earned money divert?
to the support of the Legislature ai
their friends, for their arduous servie
for a few months in 1871-721 Has
come to this, that the Legislature ca
through their officers, absorb the tux
collected for legitimate purposes? 'Ci
the passage of a resolution requiring t
State Treasurer to pay tho certificates
the members and subordinates of t
General Assembly, authorize tho issue
unlimited certificates, scattered bron
cast over tho State, to parties who ne\
rendered au hour's service therefor, ji
tify tho Treasurer to pay tho same, in t
face of previous specific uppropriatioi
made for specific purposes? Aro not t
officers issuing such fraudulent cert
cates guilty of wilfully and intentions
defrauding the State? Is not tho St
Treasurer an accessory, both before u
after thu fact, iu paying claims which
position aud knowledge enublud him
know were fraudulent? Can auy sii
mau believe that $1,000,000 was requii
to pay the legitimate expenses of I
last session of the Legislature?
Tax-payers, you must act prompt
Take legal means to examine these

on last Wednesday, between the house?

warmth until the contestants, Drayton
and Washington, representing the pro
and con. of the questions at issue, fell to
blows. Joe Segar, a by stander, seeing
that something serious might ensue, in?
terposed his kindly counsel, which not I
availing, and then his person, while be?
tween the parties, trying to separate
them, he received a blow from a club in
the bands of Drayton, which proved
fatal. Drayton, the prisoner, arrived in
the city yesterday, and was committed to
jail. He and the deceased were cousins.
