COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, July 24, 1873. Internactonal ArMtratlun. Tu the address of the House of Com? mons to the Queen, asking her to exert her influence in the establishment of a geueral and permanent system of arbi? tration, tho Queen replied, on the 17th instant; ?'I am sensible of the force of the phi-* luuthropic motives dictating the address. I have at nil times desired to extend, the practice of closing international contro? versies by their Bubmission to impartial friends, and to encourage the establish? ment of rules intended for tho equal be ncfit'of all. I shall continuo to pursue a similar course, with dne regard to timo and opportunity, whenover it is likely to be attended with advantage." The Qaeen is right iu saying that phi? lanthropic motives dictated the arbitra tiou movement. But there is another motive behind it, which is still more powerful than mere sentiment, in this matter-of-fact, calculating age. The va? rious national debts of Christian coun? tries have reached a magnitude about as large as the patience of tax-payers can sutler, and these crushing, life-consum? ing, cancerous debts are the enduring legacies of wars waged in the determina? tion of controversies in which the mass of the people iiave no more interest than they have in the question of tho old oshoolmen, how many angels can stand on the point of a noodle? There aro ' only two modes of settling international disputes after the parties themselves have failed to settle them by treaty; the one is by tho arbitration of third parties, the other is by war. The people who have long been dazzled by the glitter of military glory have begun to fiud out that war means vast military establishments, the destruction of the best physical power of a oooutry, and enormous taxation, and they naturally ask whether the play is worth tho candle. This is a question whioh belongs not to the domain of fine sentiment and roao colored morality only. It is a question of taxation, of popular rights, of bread and meat. <-??-? Don Piatt is abroad, and in a letter to the Washington Capital, he puts tho argument against the protectionists in his usual incisive and vigorous way. "We embarked," Bays he, "at noon, upon the good ship Australia, of the An? chor Line, owned in Glasgow, Scotland. It is a melancholy fact, known to tho world, that all lines plying between our ports and Europe carry foreign flags and are owned abroad. We happened to be presont' in a lato dispute between the White Star and German lines, before the Postmaster-General, for the privilege of carrying the mails of the United States. It was a humiliating spectacle. The flag that once floated in pride over every sea, has been driven away from our own ports through the greed of protectionists posseEsed of enough money to control our Congress. It is a stupid lie to assert that the cruisers of the Confederates during the late war brought this about. That war lasted four years oh land, two years at Boa, and our American energy and enterprise would have remedied the trouble long since; but, in the meantime, iron 'has revolutionized ship building, and owing to onr high price of iron, caused by onr protection and tho cost of la? bor caused by protection and inflated cur? rency, our ship builders cannot compete with tho builders of Europe, and with a stupidity that is without parallel, we pro? hibit the purchase of ships abroad. There are three things we cannot pur? chase abroad?one is obsoene books, the other is spurious currency, and the third is ships. We only, need one of the three. We have a good supply of obscene books, thanks to Harriet Beecher Stowe, Messrs. Woodbull & Olaflin, and the immortal Walt Whitman. Heaven knows, we havo enough of n spurious circulating medium. But wo do need ships; and differing from every nation on the face of the earth, we prohibit the parcbase, when tbey can be purchased at a profit." ? That all this is true, cannot be doubt? ed. The same reasoning also applies in part to railroads. It is the cost of iron that makes railroads costly; and as the corporations that bnild them are pretty sore to get even some way, they gouge the people by high rates of travel and freight. If tho grangers would go to work and reform our tariff laws, they would experienoe but little difficulty afterward iu correcting the abuses of the railroad companies. Competition alone would do the work. -?-???-? ATbcb Repcdijcan.?The following is a letter from asub-criber to tho Chi? cago infer- Ocean: 1 I hnve lived since May G, 1801, and voted for Adams in 1824 and 1828, for Clny in 1832 and 1844, for Harrison in 1830 and 1840, though I perjured mysolf in swallowing Tyler, having sworn never to support a man who favored the "Ex? punging resolutions." I voted for Tuy lor in 1S18, Scott in. 1852, Fremont in 185G, Lincoln in 1860 and 18G4; twioo for Grunt, and shall be ready to vote for him again in 187G, "Credit Mobilier," '?salary steal," "tnngle-leg," "Long Branca," "fat horses," "bull pups," and 100 per cent, added. Yours, 1\ 1?. Deaths in Charleston fcr the wetk ending July 10, 37?wi:ite? 10; colored! A Substitute for tho Fence l^mir. Ms. Editor: I had a sight of the pa ten tod Btock yoke which Mr. Eichelber? ger proposes to introduce in five of our Gouutios. It IB truly simple, cheap, and I believe it will effectually ourefenoe jumpiqg horses, mules and eattle from that poruioious habit. You have only to make a strong hoad-part of a bridle, with good throat-latch and nose-bund, sizea? ble enongh to muko large or small as the case may require, uud havn a smith to make the yoke of iron, of about four pounds weight, in two pieces united to gether hinge fashion, which, iu its work? ing, imitates thut of a mnu's nrm. The short picco has two oyes put in it, through which the uoso baud und thrqat* latch is fastened by buckles, aud you have a complete stock yoke. Take away tho iron, and apply ruins to the rings of tho bit, and you have a bridle; take away the reins, and attach a ropo or leather strap to the ring, aud you have a halter. The great seoret of the yoke liofc-iu the upper and short piece of iron, noting as a garote to the throat of the animals when they attempt to go over evou low fence. Yours, &c, J. C. HOPE. St.'dd en aj5d mel.a.nciioj..- death ou Bishop WhiBkbfobce.?The Bight Bav. Samuel Wilberforco, d. d., Bishop of Winchester, England, was killed by aj fall from bis horse, on Saturday, the 19th: inst. Ho was riding iu company with Earl Granville toward Lord Goweris country seat, where the Bight Honorable Premier Gladstone .awaited his aomiug. Hi* horse was traveling at full speed at the moment when the Bishop fell to the ground. Hia Lordship died instantly, his neck having been broken. By the ocenrrenco of this melancholy and most unfortunate acoident, one of tho shining lights of the English Church has been suddenly extinguished, nnd the cmise of universal philanthropy loses a faithful disciple and practical exponent. Tho world of letters has to mourn a gifted penman aud an untiring worker, while the Crown of Great Britain will grieve < for the suddeu cutting oil' by death of tho man who pronounced, in the House of Lords, the memorable words, "Be-j pressed strife is not peace, but tho source and cause of a deeper aud moro.danger? ous disquietude." The cause of the de? mise of Bishop Wilborforce will recall to the memory of many of our readers the fact that the great British statesman, Sir Bobert Peel, met his death by a fall from his horse, or, rather, in conscqnence of the animal haying fallen under him and thrown him with great vloLuoc for? ward. MispiiAcan Sympathy.?There is an almost universal gush of maudlin senti? ment setting in towards Kate Stoddard, tbo imprisoned murderer. Bespootable ladies call to sympathize with her. High toned goutlemen indite her comforting cp i? ties. Bouquets; fro it aud mouey are sent up daily to her cell. And why? When this woman was only an adven? turess in the streets, good women turned instinctively from her. The3* knew tho danger of her ways. Society is inflexi? ble as flint to the fallen woman who has not committed a crime; and wife, mother, and daughter of the upright citizen would sutler any penalty before speaking to her, even to lift her up from the mire. So Kate Stoddard went her way unno? ticed until she appeared in the role of a murderer. Then, in a moment, all was changed. Her struggles, temptations, loves and sufferings canonized her. The same tide of sympathy that bore Mary Harris and Laura Fair out of tho arms of jostioe, began its work on hor bohalf. Good men and women bavo grasped the garments of one whom they would not have stooped to rescue from the shame of a licentious life, to save the murdorer from prison or the gallows. There is no show of reason or right iu this noklecess of opinion. The day has passed when sympathy might have drawn tho fallen woman from her ways of wickedness. Now that murder has succeeded to pas? sion, the one remedy is that punishment should try its hand ut a euro. If public sympathy needs objects of oompassion, it can find them in the hundreds of young girls who are just enterin g on tho paths of shame. ? Graphic. The next theatrical season in Charles? ton promises to be one of the most bril? liant and interesting that we have had for many years. Mr. John T. Ford has made engagements for Ford's Opera Uouso iu Baltimore, and for his Opera House in Washington, to be extended throughout the Southern circuit, em? bracing Savannah and Charleston, with tho following prominent actors, actresses, companies aud singers: Christine Nils son, in grand opera; Salvini, the great Italian tragedian; Clara Louise Kollogg, in English opera; Lotta, Maggie Mitch? ell, John E. Owensand Joseph Jofferaon, in comedy; MissNeilson, in Shaksperian heroines; Madamo Jauauschek, in clas? sical and domestic character!--; tho Wal lack Company; Miss Clara Morris and Miss Carlotta Leclercq, iu emotional drama; Mr. E. A. Sotheru, (Lord Dun? dreary,) in his peculiar iudivldualiza tions; Lydia Thompson and her new company; Mrs. Oates, with comic opera; Mr. W. J. Florence, Mr. Frank Mayo, Mr. Frank Chanfrau, the Black Crook Company, and others. There id also a probability that Mr. Edwin Booth, Ma? dame Lucca, Tamborlik and Altnec's French Opera Company will visit these cities. A Swiss BopubiicaU for Spain is "the latest "thing out," in that distracted country. Tho provinces of Andalusia, Mnrcia, Catalonia and others have de? clared their ultimatum to bo that of in? dependent cnutons, on the Swiss model; while Seville, Cordova, Barcelona uud other cities have u!so issued their pro nnuciutnentos of independence. "After mo the deluge," satd Louis XV. of France; und "After me the deluge,"' might have been as .truly propht-sied by King Amadou** lor Spa:: * Editors Chronicle akb Sentinel, Augusta, Ga.: In an editorial ia yoar issue of the 13th instant, headed "Bean regard and Unifloation," you refer to a oanvlsa made in'this State in 1870, and say: "We have pretty niooh the eamo opinion of the present movement in Louisiana as wo had of tho Beform move? ment in South Carolina, a few year.) since. Whilo we could not und did not approve of their platform, which was of tho pSppo'r-and salt complexion, wo de? termined that if tho people of Carolina could stand it, wo could." Aud further: "Wby should wo people of Georgia re? pudiate aud denounce- Hampton und Butler and Kersbaw for making a square,, manly eifert to redeem their State from Radical misrule?" You will pardon mo for eiceptiug to the tono of tho above extracts, und sug? gesting'that you should have informed yourself moro thoroughly-of tho "Re? form movement in South Carolina," be? fore making this sweeping comparison, and have understood the status of ull the gentlemen referred to touching said "Reform movement," boforo committing them all to itd support. General Kersbaw and I did endorse' and support, aud, in fact, prepare the platform of the "Reform movement" of 1870. General Hamption had no! only nothing to do with tho preparation of that platform, but disapproved of it, and bis support of it waB due entirely to bis personal, regard aud relations to General K, und myself. This much is due to General Hampton. Herewith I enclose the platform of the "Reform movement" bf 1870, and I beg that you will either publish it side by side with tbe "Unification Address" of Louisiana, or point out to your readers tbe analogy between the two. If you will do this, I shall be content ; but I have no idea of permitting you, in this cursory manner, to pass jndgmeut upou two movements, whioh 1 regard as essentially different, without a bearing of both sides. Do not understand me as repudiating the "Reform movement" of 1870. I went into it ndvieedly. I thought it wise, proper and judicious tbeu, I think bo now, and iu support of this opinion, and in the light of subsequent events, I refer your readers to the action of the Democratic party in the last Presidential electiou, aud, if stronger proof were necessary, I refer them to the aotion of "we, the people of Georgia," in said eloction, and, iu fact, I muy refer' them to the staunch, uncompromising advo? cacy of tho Chronicle and Sentinel, of "the pepper-and-salt complexion" of tho. Greeley movement. I held the opinion in 1870, and so hold now, that the only hope of the South is a "unification" of tbe whites not against tho negro, but {or the protection of them seloesk and by a candid recognition of the right) of the negro as secured to him by the<?onstitutiou and laws, to recover his confidence and secure his aid in restor? ing order aud prosperity to tho country. I may bo permitted in this connection to commend tho spirit with which you have alluded to Gcu. Beaurogard's re cont position. Greater tolerance to? wards those who differ with ui in opi? nion, and less personal villitjcution and nspersion of motives of those whose ser? vices to the couutry entitle them to some consideration, wonld accomplish better results. Gen. Beauregard un? doubtedly lays himself open to criticism when be assumes to suggest a policy for the public, but ho is a gentleman whose character and public services should pro? tect him against illiberal comment and misrepresentation. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, M. C. BUTLER. Columbia., S. C, July 16, 1873. The United States Court.?Tho pe? tition of Brown Manning to establish a lien on the cBtate of Gaillard & Minott was referred to Registrar Seabrook. It was ordered that Thomas J.

Tho first steamer will carry GOO wives to their husbands, who, it is to be expected, will be glad to welcome them. Seventy-four infants and many children will be on board. The voyage will last seventy weary days. Wo were, yesterday, the recipient of n most beautiful bouquet of artificial flowers, tbe work of tho cunning and nimble ringers of the accomplished Miss M.

The female headaches aro innnmmerable, bnt they arise principally from vexation and disappointment. They may be divided into "nervous" and Vfiek". headaches. Tbe nervous is irritable and ' cannot boar being spoken to. The sick is despondent or sulky, and bursts into tears at tbe least contradiction. When a lady cannot have her own way, a head? ache is tbe painful consequence. An on popular visitor, brought home accident? ally to dinner, will produce an alarming attack of headache, and the symptoms that successively follow are instant loss of appetite, deafness, peevishness, hysteria, and liually a precipitate retreat to the bed-room. The poor servants feel the effects of the headache as much as any one, and do not stop in the room any longer than they can help. These unfortunate headaches are vory frequent about that time of the year when every one i?, or is supposed to be, out of town, aud do not cease until tbe patient has been carried to tbe sea-side for a change of air. The milder forms will vanish upon the application of 'a piece cf jewelry, or if the forehead is wrapped up iu a new shawl it is astonishing with what rapidity tbe pain disappears. Sometimes a shifting of the scene is requisite, and thus a box at the opera has been known to produce an instanta? neous cure, even when the headache has been of the most stunning description, and tho opera played has been one of Verdi's. That is a singular hen down in Ten? nessee, which, nt tbe age of twelve or fourteen, quit all her old habits and turned into a regular rooster. This case, aud that of Susan B.
