COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, June 20. 1873. Producer anil Conramtri Commenting on the efforts ol the Western 'farmers to reduce the cost of transportation, the Utica (N. Y.) Herald says: "The question of markets is over? looked. If transportation were cheaper, would it benefit the producer or tho consumer? If produce eould be sent East at lower rutes, would it seoure the Western producer moro for his crops? Wo suspect not. The reduction in freight would have to be taken from the selling price in the Eastern market, and the producer will get no moro for his product than be does now. Suppose transportation were absolutely 'free. Would not the flrat effect be to over Btimulato production in the West and glut tho market in the East, so that the producer Would, get a much lower price thau he does now, if ha could sell at all? Again, would he get the benefit of free transportation, whatever prices might be, by taking his grain to an Eistorn market?* Kot a.bifc ot it. He would do just as ho does now?soli to tho specula? tors, who would choose thuir own time to throw it npon the market, provided they were strong ouough. financially to hold it." ^ The purport of tho argument of the L Utica Harald is, that tis the Western producer gets for his wheat its market value, minus the cost of transportation, and as the Eastern consumer buys the eame wheat at its market value, inclusive of the cost of transportation, the bur? den of this oost falls wholly npon the consumer; and evon its complete aboli? tion would not materiaUy.improvo the position of the prodaoiog classes in re? spect to the priods of their produots. The mere statement ? of. snob a theory ia sufficient to Refute it in all minds grouuded in economical priuoiplee and aooustomed to deal with eoonomioal problems. The oost of transportation is simply one of the difficulties of produc? tion. It may affect industry as inju? riously as poor land does, as drought or excessive moisture does, as inferior ma? terials of manufacture do, as defective mechanical implements do. And just as industrial prosperity is promoted by im? provement in regard to any of these dif? ficulties of production, it must bo pro? moted by increased facility of trauspor . tatiou. The .fallacy which we are combatiug would possess not the least apeciousnoss if there ware not 10 much obscurity und iuacooraoy of thought as to what is meant by tho terms producing and con? suming classes. These distinctions are commercial, and not fundamental. In their economical relations, buyers and sellers are all producers, or represent pro 'action. Iu the final economical equation, buyer aud seller, producer and consumer, must stand, for good or evil, upon the same footing. The Eastern ousumerof Western wheat is its indi? rect producer. And, similarly, the Western farmer indirectly produces tLe goods or the money which lie gets in ix cbacgo for his wheat from the Eantern consumer. Consequently, each 13 inte? rested iu augmenting, and, in a com? mercial Bttuse, cheapening the immediate production of the other, so as to prolit by a corresponding increase of his own indirect production. How preposterous it is, then, to sup? pose that tbo Western farmers would I have no share iu the gain of consumers by cheaper transportation, and that one of the great difficulties of production may be removed without benefit to the producing classes! C ?bt?. The New York Bulletin thinks, and warns the public, that tho Graut Admi? nistration cherishes seoret designs upon Cuba. It declares that any attempt at interference in the uffairs oi that islund would in all probability provoko imme? diate war; und war would not only in? volve a useless waste of blood and trea? sure betweeu the two countries, but would cause u foarful needless bloodshod in Cuba between the two races. Even if the conflict should result in our acqui? sition of Cuba?which, of course, is the end contemplated?tho prize, it ia shown, would cost infinitely rnoru thau its real value to us. The Bulletin adds: "Wo do not want to bring under our Government any such heterogeneous elements us exist in Cuba, aud no wise statesman would bo in a hurry to lake tho responsibility of placing such a peo? ple all at onoe under republican institu? tions', * * If there bo a sincoro do sire to outer into commercial rolutions with tho Spanish West Indies, which would bo more profitable to both sides thau those which now exist, then lut tbo Administration negotiate for a recipro? city treaty. Such relations would give us al) the possible commercial advantages derivable from Cuba, while it would kuvo us the blood, tho oost aud tho trouble of acquiring and holding tho iblaud." <-?<?-?

The resolutions rocognizo the equal aud impartial exercise by every citizou of every civil and political right guaran? teed by the Constitution and laws of Louisiana, by tho Constitution and lows of the United State*,.aind by the luws of houor, brotherhood aud fair dealing. They maintain tho right of cvory oitizun to sojourn at will at all plaoes of public reeort, and to travel at will on all vehi? cles of publio conveyance, upon terms of perfoot equality with any and every citi? zen, so far as our influence, counsel and example may go to mako this rigbt a live aud practiced right.

Reducing tub Family.?Weducsduy morning, a family of six persons, travel? ing through Macomb County towards Detroit, stopped about thirty miles from the city and attempted to give away u little boy, four years old, to a farmer. He did not waut the child, and the wagon drove on; but it seems that the little fellow was set down in tho road about half a milo from the house, and in about an hour appeared at the farmer's guto. The farmer was highly enrnged at the dodgo, and, saddling his horse, he took tho child before him and rode after the wagon. Before he came up with it, he found that the family had given away a girl about a yoar aud a hulf old. Ho mado them take tuo boy back, and when be threatened the father with arrest, the fellow ooolly replied that ho hud too many children, and wanted to get rid of some of them. The farmer encountered a teamster who was coming to Detroit, aud uskod him to keep an eye on tho im? migrants. Thursday night thoy camped beside the road, about fiftoeu milos from the city, while the teamster, whose name is James Bruce, came on through. At the City Hall market, yesterday nuou, tho immigrant wagon was discovered by liruce, who fouud the man and bis wife ulone, thoy having disposed of their live children along tbu road. Little satisfac? tion could be obtained as to wheru (he little ones had becu left, both pareuts seeming to have no more feeling than wolves, uud when there was i of ar? resting them, they drovo off as fast as possible. It is believed that they dropped the children here aud thoro ou the road, and probably most of tiiein will find their way into Detroit, to bo seut to the Couuty House. [ Detroit Free Press, Jam 11.

Threatening, to Pull t?e Noss or a Noirra CAit?iiCA Joooe.?A scene oo ourred at Stokes court, ou Tuesday even? ing of tbe first week of court, that was not put down en the bills. At the full term, 1872, of Stokes Supe? rior Court, a negro man, noted for bis impudence, insulted W. D. MoGill,- aud sought shelter in the Court House, where McGill followed him, and gave him a beating iu the presence of the Judge, and was tiued 8100 for contompt of court. McGill was indicted for an assault in the same cas9, and was fined iuat week $50 by his Honor Judge Cloud. After having been pnuished byasevere fiuefor contempt ouce, McGill was incensed ut the heavy fiue imposod on him the second time, aud concluded ho would give his Houor just cause to go for biui in regular lleatheu Cbiuoe style, aud ou Tuesday eveuiug, during tbe sitting of oourt, he walked up to the staud aud took a scat by tho aido of Judge Cloud, aud leaned over and spoke in a low tone to bim, and said: "If you wu3 not an old man, I'd pull your nose, you d?Jold scoundrel." The Judge, who was expecting a frieudly message, was taken back at what he heard, aud, thinking ho might huve mis? understood him, asked him what he said, and McGill repeated it. The Judge then called lustily for the Sheriff to come and arrest him and take him away, say? ing ha was drunk, aud had thrcitoned to pull the court's nose. McGill very coolly got up and spoke to the persons in court, and said it was untrue that he was drunk, but ho did tell "that d? d old ra^cil (pointing to Cloud) that he would pull his uose." ' The Sheriff by this timo had reached the eceoo of action, when the Judge or? dered him to carry McGill to fail, and keep him there sixty days. As "McGill deScouded the .stund, ho turoed to Cloud uud said: "You nor ouy ml your party are houest," whereupon tho Judge re? peated his order of sixty days in jail. By" this time, tho Sheriff was descending the stairs leading down out of the court room, aud McGill fired back at the Judge and said: "I'll get even with you aud your party yet, you d?d old scoundrel!" The Judge then bad McGill brought back, and examined the statute to see what was the extent of his power to punish iu the oa?e, and finally ordered the Sheriff to confine McGill in fail for thirty days, fined him $250, and to re? main iu jail until the fiue was paid, and to give bond iu tho sum of 81,000, with good security, to keep the peace with all the citizens of the State. The She? riff, with a guard, then started to jail with the prisoner, and had gone some didance with bim, and when they arrived at Taylor's Hotel, where a negro was holding McGill's horse, ho palled out a pistol aud told them to stand buck, that he did not intend to go to jail, and called to the negro to bring him his horso. As the Sheriff nor any of his guard were armed, aud knowiog McGill to be a des? perate man, they concluded that it would be an unhealthy business to attempt to stop him, and he mounted his horse and rode slowly out of town. I Winston (.V. ? ) Sentinel. Statements Conceuxing the Ahling ton Estate nr Mus. Lue.?Tho National Republican publishes an interview with I Mrs. Lee, from which the following facts relative to the Arlington estate appear: George Wushington Parke Custis dying in 1857, gave his daughter, Mrs. Lee, by his will, the entire Arlingtou estate; und Gou. Lec, though exocutor, never parti? cipated in any mauner iu its ownership or control. There was 1,100 acres iu the estate, which, at tho time of the Govern? ment occupation, was worth about 3200 per acre, und bus biuce greatly risen in value. At the time of its nominal pur? chase by the Government nt 820,800, there were .several of Mrs. Loo's friends ready to make the purehaso for her, or pay the tuxes, but they were not al? lowed to do either. It is stated thut thero is high legal authority couueoted with the Government for doubting the vulidity of the Government title. Mrs. Lee does not desire to have the cstute restored, since its becoming a national oemutery, but does expect u reasonable remuneration. Gen. Lee's will, pro? bated at Lexington, bequeaths only per? son i! estate, and makus no mention of real estate, as hu owned none. Tho Arlington was sold under Iho direct tax Act of June, 1802, as amended by the Act of February 0, 18G3. It was further provided iu tho will of Mr. Custis that his slaves should be free after ths expi? ration of live years. The poriod of in m:imission came on iu 1808, in the height of i .c war, when Gou. Lec, as executor of tho will, summoned those slaves togelher at a point within his lines, aud guve them their pupers and freu passes through the Confederate lines to go whither they would. The Ar?ucton estate was assessed in 1S60 at 831,100, aud in the opinion of compe tout judges was worth from 8-10,000 to 850,000. Tho land would now bring over 8100,000. It is believed that this is tbo only case where tho Government has failed to make compensation for land sot apart for a national cemetery. -_ ?. -? Death of Judge Tompkins.?We have received n copy of tbe Union (La.) Re? cord, iu mourning for Judgo Thomas 13. Thompkins. wdio died of consumption, in Marion, La., on tho 80lh of May last.

Both I parties belong to old District families of the highest respectability. Some five or six weeks ago, Mr. Lovett Gomilion aud Mr. Glover had angry words in front of our office.

The Sandwich Islands.?The Wash? ington Republican says that late commu? nications from Rear Admiral A. M. Pcnnock, commanding the North Pacific fleet, to the Navy Department, represent that the financial condition of the Ha? waiian Government is very much embar? rassed, aud that unless some relief can be obtained Lho Government of King William cannot last more than two yenre longer. The Admiral states that a num? ber of leading citizous of Honolulu have thought that relief would be obtained through a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and as an induccmeut to grant it are urging the Hawaiian Govern? ment to cede to the Unitod States Pearl River aud its adjacent lauds, which would give the Uuited States a harbor that would at nil times command its su? premacy in the Sandwich Islauds. The iutcutiou of King William iu tho matter has not been developed, but Admiral Pennook seems to bo so confident that the arrangement will be made that ho in? tends to have an accurate survey made of Pearl River autl tho harbor. BKEOEiEit's Last New Departure ?

He said: "I don't boliovo a soul is going to bo thrust away by that hand that was pierced. I dou't beliove that that love which was shown in Christ is going to throw away one soril wit Ii a germ of good iu it. And so 1 hope?I hope." Death of Judge Cocuuan*. ? llou.
