The Supervising Inspeotor-General of steamboats is engaged in the preparation of rules governing experiments on boilers, in accordance with the Act of Ma roh last. Changes continue to be made of inspectors in all directions? the objeot being to secure a better class of such officers. The investigation in the Elm Oity steamboat oaso, under the looal inspectors for New London, Con? necticut, has been concluded, and the re? sult reported to the Inspector-General. It was found the conduct of Captain Frodoriok E. Beck and pilot Nathaniel Stevens was somewhat censurable, but not to an extent whioh would warrant the revocation or suspension of their lioonses. In the case of the collision be? tween the steamers New State and The Eagle, on the Ohio River, the looal in? spectors were fully satisfied that Nathan Potts, the pilot of tbe Newgate, was jXSEro SftnV Sie1' obrii?od'i^ncl therefore his license has been revoked.

It does ,hot seem, to be understood among parties interested, that the proceeds of the sales of eotton, unlawfully seized after the 30th of June, 1865, will not be restored, where the parties, by themselves or their author? ized ?genta, eckt cotton to tbe Con fede? rate States, and" received therofor Con? federate notee^'bonds or certificates, or other valuable consideration. The pub? lished report that the: Court of 'Claims has decided that the qotton tax is uncon? stitutional, is incorrect.' ? The question' of the constitutionality of the law im Boeing a tax on ootton has never yet oon before this Court, although it will probably bo raised in tbo argument of a case at'tbo next term. This report may have- arisen from tbe fact that the Court of Claims decided, long ago, and has uniformly held in a number of oaees since that the cotton tax was not a oharge upon the Oaptured and abandon? ed property fund; or, in other words, that the Government could not retain this tax from! the proceeds of sales of oaptured cotton. Havana, May 12.?A. steamer arrived to-day from Spain, with 1,000 Carlist prisoners, to reinforce the* army hero. The eteamere Yazoo, Juniata, Germa? nia aud Havana, from New Orleans, are still compelled to remain .in quarantine here, although there are no eases of sick? ness on them, and the Board of Health of New Orleans certifies that tbero is no oholera in that city; but tbo Government here claims that quarantine is imposed on information from the Spanish Consul at New Orleans that cholera really exists there. This rigid enforcement in quaran? tine regulations does much injury to commerce, and is believed to bavu beeu ordered on insufficient grounds. Offioial telegrams from Puerta Principe report that- the Leon Battalion recently had a fight with tbe insurgents, and that tbe Cuban General Ignacio Agramont was killed and bis body brought to Puerta Principe. General Sanguili is also re? ported to have been killed. Havana, May 14 ?The insurgents at? tacked a train on the Puerta Principe Railroad, and killed the commander of the Molina Fort, two captains and a number of soldiers. Later despatches say Agramoote's death is continued. San Guillos' is denied. Agramonte was killed at Lima gay to, where the Spaniards report eighty insurgents killed. The New Orleans steamers detained at quarantine have been released and come to the city. Halifax, May 14.?Crowds are around the Drummond colliery. The mine being closed for some time, on.ecoount of a strike, accounts for tbe fi.ro damp explo? sion. Efforts to subdue the fire failed. Two men going down the shaft to rescue those below, were killed * by a second ex? plosion. Smoke is pouring from all tbe openings, and it ia feared tue surface buildings will be destroyed. There is no hope of saving those below. A later de? spatch says the Drummond colliery fire still rages. No hope of saving the sixty men In the pit. Another explosion oc oarred at 2 o'clock, this morning. Tbe fire oaught from an explosion of gun? powder. Mr. Dunn aud twenty volun? teers went down to assist in pumping it out.

Colored Juries.?When the United States Distriot Judge for Georgia de? cided that it was competent for the United States Marshal to select negroes to serve on the Untied States janes, it was represented here that the decision was for partisan purposes, and would result in "packing" of juries to prose oute persons oharged with violation o( the Enforcement Aot, as bad been done in tbe Ku Elux cases in North aod South Carolina. To show that theao suspicious were well founded, lists have been s<mt here of some of the United States juries selected in parts of Southern Georgia. From these it appears that in some of the Counties half of those selected are negroes, and three-fourths of the whole number are Radicals. In other Counties, where many indiotmenta for alleged vio? lations of the Enforcement Aot are pending, the paoportion is even greater. [ Washington Cor. Baltimore Sun. . A singular Good Friday custom is ob? served in an old English church-yard. Attention was recently oalled to it by a gentleman, who saw an aged rector put? ting down twenty-one eix-penoea on a grave-stone, whioh the same number of poor widows picked up. The custom is nearly as old as the ohuroh, and origin? ated in tho will of a lady who left a sum of money to pay for tbe sermon and to yield the six-pences to be distributed over her grave; but, as the will is lost and her tomb gone, the traditionary spot of her interment iB chosen for the distri? bution?a strange part of the tradition being that any one too stiff in the joints to pick op tbe money was not to receive it. There will be one good result from tbe troubles in Louisiana?the word "rebel" will be rendered still more absurdly in? consistent with its original meaning than it was made by the Federal papers dar? ing the "late unpleasantness." The McEnery men?those who support tbe Governor that waa elected by the people ?those who pay all the taxes and mono? polise all the respectability of the State ?are spoken of as "rebels." We would not ohooso to be one of the "loyal" in these lot tor days. Attempted Suicide on the Scaffold. William Watkins, aged sixty,was banged at Searcey, Arkansas, on Friday, tbe 25th ult., for shooting William Swag gerty to death last summer. The execu? tion was a public one. Watkins, while on the gallows, attempted to forestall his doom by an ineffectual effort to ohoke himself. He kept up his attempt at sui? cide, three men holding him in the meantime, until the drop fell. It is reported that a resolution intro? duced in the Texas Legislature, inviting President Grant to visit the State in the course of his projeoted but subsequently abandoned Southern excursion was voted down by a large majority, and that on the next day a resolution was' offered and passed inviting Jefferson Davis to visit the State and that Davis has accept? ed the invitation. In 1870, the population of Charlotte, N. C, was 4,473, tbat of the whole town? ship being about 6,600. -Iu 1860, it was 2,205, and in 1850, only 1,065. These figures show that the rate of increase of tbe population has been about 100 per cent, every ten years. This rate of in? crease compares favorably with that of some of the most flourishing towns aud j cities in the United States, j In tbe United States Court, in Charles? ton, on the 13th, the petition of CbarleB Hauborry aud others, to establish lien in the case of Thomas F.

A terrible whirlwind swept through the lower part of Marion and Horry Counties, ou the Gth instant, destroying everything iu its course. Some frightful stories are related of its effects. The damage in many instances was serious. An unknown man, whoso name is be? lieved to be William Mooueygban, from Kershaw County, died in Sumter County, last week, in destitute circumstances, and was buriod iu Nazareth Church? yard, Clarendon County. The Marquis of Qaeensbury believes iu the "still noble art of self-defence," and thinks that "England may regret some day that her sons should substitute for the use of their flats the first deadly weapon that comes to their hands." ^An exchange says: "Worcetier (Mass.) papers tell of a woman stopping in that city, not yet thirty years old, who is the I mother of thirteen children." Well, we should think it about time she was stop? ping'somewhere.
