COM?MBf&iSHC. * i i ? i ? Sunday Horning, September 7; 1873. bfiiyfc] Ctep,P,?apoBx' or xni Frolic- j Ctiis ?nsorizcLC.--Tbc award of iho au guBta cotton pool depends upon the completion of the estimate of the erop made by the New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle, recognized author- { iky in cotton cirofeo on the product and | movements of the great staple. Som? considerable anxiety exists among those haying part in that pool to know when the eatimates will be opened. We nn dotstand that the award will not be made until the fnll statements of ' tbe Chroiyich Ui received. On that point the Cftrwicfe, of the 30th, says: We expect, to issue our annual orop report forjjpyear ending August 31, in circular form, on Thursday, the 11th of September. Until that time it is im? possible: for UC tC, giTS auf co11uiutu s whioh wonld kz of &zj valuo of . the overland movement or of Southern con? sumption. We state this in reply to many letters and telegrams asking for those .figures. As to the eonsamption in the Southern SiaUo, we hope to pre? sent a more exact statement than bas ever before been given, as we have, through the kind assistance of the Census Bureau? been able to write to every mill and cotton manufacturer throughout the South, sending oat in? quiries which promise to furnish us the actual result rather than an estimate. We ate pursuing this point the more earnestly because we feel that it is very important to relieve these orop reports of this last vestige of uncertainty. The overland movement we had already re? duced-to a> demonstration; hereafter we truet',wo' fihall be able to say -the same thing With regard to Southern consump? tion. Vive La FbakceI?September 5 wit? nessed the last payment of the war debt of France to Germany. The rapidity with which 1 his heavy obligation hap been discharged displays marvelous financial, strength. France has before this given evidence of great capacity in this way. No loans ever went begging for bidders in the reign of Napoleon III, and none since; ao it is his country the Frenchmen has faith in and love for. In 1869, the year before the war, France exported to this country $51, 500,000; in 1870, ?52,000,000; in 1871, nearly $56,000,OOQ; and in 1872. $69, 500,000. Wherever, the great mass of o population are industrious and econo? mical, and the country they occupy rich and fertile, the power of revival is too great for almost any prostration. If France Will only be content with the viotories of peace, she will be as happy and powerful as she ever can become by the destructive agencies of war. The Yieginia Canvass,?The reports from the Virginia canvass indicate a . fall vote and an overwhelming Conserv? ative triumph. General indignation is felt at the insolent attempt of the Ad? ministration to control the politios of the State and organize there another Louisiana. The, feeling and the activi? ty of the canvass will probably secure a majority larger than Governor Walker's in 1869, for Kemper, the Conservative candidate. Col. Moaby says that Kem? per and tbe Conservative ticket will be elected by from 20,000 to 30,000. It is said that if the Conservatives carry the Legislature, there will be a general con? currence in favor of returning the Hon. B. M. T. Hunter to the United Status Senate. Getting His Bhwabd.?Ex-Governor Foots, or Mississippi, who has been en? gaged for several weeks past in writing Southern reminiscences for a daily pa? per, will soon, according to current re? port, be appointed by the President to an important foreign mission in South America. Tbe fiery ohronicler 'of past events, whose denunciations of Jefferson" Davis and other Sonthorn men havo proved rich reading for the Northern minds for Bomo time past, i! the above i9 correct, is to receive his reward. It is not strange to account for the cam? paign literature of the ex-Governor, and we may now hope to hear that, like Longstreet, he has received his "thirty pieces of silver" and is satisfied. Balloon Betting.? In New York, there is some betting on the balloon in the sporting circles about town, but it is evident that the betting mon don't believe in it. The odds are overwhelm? ing against it/and it is hard to find anybody who will risk anything on it. That the balloon will neither cross the ooean nor get half way across, bets are offered nineteen to one; that it will never go 100 miles away from land, nine to one; that tbe balloonists will not stay ?p a siogle day, five to one; that Wise will never find his Westerly current, three to ono; that the whole thing will be a fizzle, two to one; that the balloon will barst, bets are even. ?? ? ? ?

VlEKNA, AUSTKIA, August 18, 1878. fit iB no* too: mueh,to ?7. #at yienna Is the moat vwagnifioently milt city in the continent. The' houses, both pub? lic aua pnwe, far surpass those of aby oity I 'have" yet visited. The finest of their public buildings is tho new Opora Souse. It has been quite recently bnilt, and is very handsomely decorated with frescoing and statuary. On the second floor, adjoining the orchestra ouairs, is a large balcony, whore tho au? dience promenade and' enjoy their little flirtations in the intervals of the opera. Near here is St, Fetor's Cathedral, a very old but one of the most oostly or? namented churches in Europe. It is not very.large, and, judging from its appearanoe on the outaide, you might easily pass it by, thinking it nothing more than an ordinary old Dntob ohurch. But the interior is all embla? zoned with gold-plate representations of tue immortals. One of its most curious features are the tombs of an old king and his queen, whose name we were un? able to learn. On. either side of the ohurch are two Bide altars, under which I are glass oases, where lie their skeletons, decked in gold olotb, so arranged as to show tho bones. On both, but more especially the queen, were the most magnificent jewelry I have ever seen, except those of the Bight Honorable Lady Dudley, of England, and those of Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria, at the Exhibition Hall. Of all precious stones, the pearl alone was missing, on account of its easy decay. Botb were half re? clining, 60 as to] show the faoa full to the observer. And what seemed strange, tho skin of both was perfect, although only the bones remained of the rest of the body. But all this may not interest you; so I shall say a few words about that centre of attraction, the exhibition. Wo know that a ehild frets for a toy, aud having bough* it, soon tires of it, and throws it aside; so wein regard to tho exhibition. Wo hear so much of it, especially in America, tho groat laughing-stock of Europe. Of all nations, including the little principalities of China and Japan, here represented, we are the vory poor? est; and of all the States, South Caro? lina is tho worst. The only thiog she has here is a handful of sea island cotton brought here by a oolored man of - Beaufort. Some poor, half-witted Eohool-master, aided by an equally as bright legislature, has built hero au American school-house, to show Ger ma-.vjh.ovi she should teach her scholars. The idea is so elevated, so grand, so Buperbly lidiculous, that only an Ameri? can superintendent of virtuous public schools oould have invented it. Why should we make ourselves the laughing stock of all the world for such men? America is disgraced, degraded, and her travelers abroad feel it, and are ashamed to acknowledge themselves her citizens. Thousands of Americans are abroad, flooding the markets with their money, and they are the ones who feel this de? gradation moat painfully. But an ill wind must indeed bo bad that blows no one any good. Perhaps this may teach us a leBson, aud make us try to redeem our? selves in *7G. Our machines have done something towards redeeming tue credit of the nation. Of all here, the sowisg machine scemB to attract the most attention. In this department, the "Secor," of Philadelphia, excels. It sews through forty thicknesses of cotton, or through the wood of a cigar box. With the same machine, you can make finer tucking than can be done by hand. We also have here a machine which can turn out a shoe in three minutes, aud one that makes a buoket in even less time. The last was doing a splendid businesa here, when the Government heard of it, and imposed a tax. Such Bbabby treatment so angered the pro Erietor, that ho has returned to the United States. Buckets is something entirely now here. They oarry their water in 'flat pails, strapped to the back. The rest of the exhibition is very flue. Austria is beat represented. This, of course, is very natural, it being more easy and safer to convoy her lino articles to the hall than other nations. The most oredit is due to Japan, whom all praise for breaking through their old customs, and cutcring the atena to com? pete with other nations, in many in? stances successfully. Tho finest of all thiugs exhibited hero is the jewelry of Lady Dudley, consisting of rings, coronets, necklacos, hair ornamcuts, ate, which is valued at several million pounds sterling. Amoug Franz Josef's is tho celebrated Stewart diamond, uupolished. Tho whole ex? hibition is nothing moro nor less thnu a fair oarried on in graud scule. Tho whole looks like a large store, with all imaginable articles for sale. The ro? tunda is very largo, and is wider than St. Paul's at London, or the Capitol at Washington. In the centre, a maguifi cent bronzo fountain, oast in Paris, cools tho air. From it run eight or ten wings, which are from to 200 to 250 feet long. These are all filled with merchandise of the most superior a uality, with prices cor? responding, loaded'by different natious. The exhibition, though grand and im? posing, does not repay the trip, espe? cially when the disgraco of the United States is added. Last evening, the Emperor gave a private reception, for gentlemen oniy, whioh was attended by Senator Robert? son, of oar Btate, and Gov. Jewell, Mr. Orr'a auooesaor to Russia. Nothing but persons holding the highest offices can attain an invitation; for he is the proudest monarch in Europe, and boasts of having a clearer genealogy aud more regal blood than any king now reigning. This is the first yoar of the last throe ?or four in which an American has at? tained tho honor of being prosented, since never previously has any ono visited Austria holding high official 1 honors, except tho Minister. After the presentation of about twenty or thirty foreigner a, they had a most sbtnpiuous repast, the best that Vienna oould afford, Oneof ^nemoBtp?mUarai8he# wan champagne frozen In the bottles, so that when tho cork was drawn it #onld iaour ont like flax9*?i aa'ow. The Emperor himsolf is a meditrtn size man, very elender, bat straight - as an arrow. He has a very small head, which he makes look smaller by wearing his hair shingled oloae to it. There is nothing more of Vienna ex? cept o few old churches; bot when you see one you see them all. "ALPHA." The United States Court.?The fol? lowing is a summary of tho proceedings of the United States Court, now in ses seon at Greenville, for the week ending August 28: - r Barkbdale Charles, bankrupt. Or? dered that Richard H. Jacoos have leave to withdraw the exceptions to the bankrupt's dis?barge, filed on 8d day of July, 1878. In r<rBarkadale Charles, bankrupt. Ordered that the return of A. Blytbe, assignee of said bankrupt, in relation to the homestead set off to the bankrupt, be set aside, and that the said assignee cause a re-appraisement of said home? stead, and that John Garrison, Sr., Le? ina F. Trowbridge and Wm. A Pepper be appointed appraisers to this court during its present session, reporting their actings and doiugs in the pre? mises. In re Barksdale Charles, bankrupt.

Petition for voluutary bank? ruptcy; filed aud referred to W. I. Clawsou, Registrar. The criminal busined of the court was finished on the 29th, and the court will hereafter attend to the hearing of civil business entirely. Death of Hon. Green Kenduick.? This distinguished gentleman died at Waterbury, Conn., on the 27th of Au? gust. He was a n-iive of North Caro? lina, and resided there for many years. He enjoyed the highest confidence and esteem of the citizens of Connecticut; was frequently elected to the House of Representatives, and more than once to the Senate. In 1851, he was Lieuten ant-Governor of the State, and subse? quently in an election by the Legisla? ture came within one vote of being chosen Governor. He was twioe Speak? er of the House. A Fatal BcnNiNG.?A daughter of Mr. Boesch, the dyer in King street, North of Tradd, died on Wednesday, from the effects of being burned on Tuesday. She went too near the fire, where dye was being prepared, when her clothing became iguited, burning her body. The lady, who was in her thirty-first year, had been Buffering nnder an affliction for years, which made the sad event more distressing. [Charleston 2\ctcs. Even the Springfield (Mass.) Repub? lican refuses to believe i oote's stories. It says: . "According to 'Hangman Foote,' Juke Thompson found himself at the close of the war with 8200,000 of Con? federate funds (gold) in his custody, and proceeded to divide with Jefferson Davis, Judah P. Benjamin, and others. The story may be true, but it will take better evidence than the unsupported word of Foote to make many people be? lieve it." Trouble in Suoth Carolina.?Whit field Swearingen, of Edgefield Court House, S. C, having been charged with obtaining goods under false pretences from an Augusta firm, tho deputy sheriff of Richmond County attempted to arrest him with a warrant from Go? vernor Moses. The frieuds of Swearin? gen prevented the arrost, but the latter finally surrendered, and now tho sheriff is after the friends. Ucjii!?Tho ra>3ality of New York pursues man beyond tho grave. The Tribune declares there is no doubt that many a body is carefully deckod for its last sleep, and laid in tho ground with tears and prayers which, the uext night, is lying on tho baro dissecting board ready for the student's knife, while tho fond mother or wife comes day after day to weep over a rifled grave. The New York "fire department con? templates tho addition of a new feature to its organization, by creating a corps of sappers aud minors, who arc to bo drilled iu tho use of explosives, aud to bo proparod to quickly destroy build? ings wherever Bnoh a step becomes ne? cessary to prevent an extensive confla? gration. Is it our Ku Klux Bad? Wc take the following item from the Iron Age, a pa? per published at Marshall, Tozas: "A young man, known as Bud Wil? liams, was killed three or four miles from Cranberry, on Sunday morning last. Ho was killed iu attempting to arrest another man, the particulars of which wo have not yet learned." Lancaator Court House is said to be more sickly than it has' been for twonty years past. The Ledger attributes the sickness to the fact that cotton is plant? ed too extensively. In many instances the gardens in the town are planted in cotton. , Bids for nearly 81,000,000 of New York city stock averaged three per cent, premium. Dr. Wm. M. Kinard turned out the first bale of now cotton iu Nowberry County. The Spanish iron-dads seized by the English have arrived at Gibraltar, VliJ?rrr OB Conpkd?b?te Ta?

Tbe Judge bolds that tbe State Go? vernment of Mississippi from 1861 to 1865 (daring tbe war) was revolutionary, illegal and unconstitutional. That any law passed by tbe State Government curing that period, imposing a tax on the people,for the support of tbe State Government, was in aid of the rebellion, and necessarily unoobstitjtional and void. That all sales of linds for taxes by the Government of Mississippi in 1862, 186'J and 1864, during the period of the late civil war, are nuii and void. Under his deoision, all tax sales of land between 1861 and 1865 are nullities, and will be sot aside. It unsettles the titles of pur? chasers at tax sales to thousands, if not millions, of acres of land in Mississippi. The decision is equally applicable to the sales of lands for taxes in all the other Confederate States engaged in tbe lato war, and hence its vast importance. Render Unto Cojsar, Ac?Tbe fol? lowing just tribute to the sagacity, en? ergy aud perseverance of Col. *B. Y. Sage, the Superintendent of tho Air Line Railroad, we find in a correspond? ence of the Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer: But when efforts arc so persistently rnvJe to ascribe al! credit to a mere eleventh hour man, and to take it from those who have borue the heat and bur? den of the day, it would be wrong in those possessed of the facts to keep silence. If the credit and bouoi connected with the engineering und completion of the Air-Line is to be ascribed to any one mau, there can be but little doubt that Col B. Y. Sage, of Atlanta, is the man, who originated the ideu, worked at it for years on his own resources, and without pay, in tho n_idst of good re? port and evil report, who, while not claiming for himself all the "experience and science" iu tho world, has patiently waited for results to prove his "energy, enterprise and perseverance." Of all which, in spite of misrepresentation and detraction, the Air-Line Railway is his witness and monument. A Pioneer Methodist?Death of Rev. Alfred Norman.?This venerable Methodist minister died at his residence on tho 25th ult. Of him the Raleigh Christian Advocate says: For nearly half a century had he car? ried the banner of the Cross and waged a noble Christian warfare, and though he has fallen after the long struggle, \ yet it is with the glory of a hero, and tbe laurels of a victory whoso blessed fruits he will never cease to gather. He was widely known in North Carolina I and Virginia, where his services had I been rendered und where.his faith and I good works were appreciated. He was truly a father in the church, a link con? necting tbe present with the past gene? ration, a "Pioneer Methodist," who witnessed and took part in the early struggles of Methodism, saw its triumph and watched its rapid growth. A Paris correspondcut says there is much talk there regarding a proposal to give Marshal MacMahon a lease of power for three years. The Dac de Broglie,1 who of late has seemed much less ardently Orleanist than formerly, would, it is said, support tho scheme. The delay of three years would allow tho Prince Imperial to attain his ma? jority; ho might then marry the daugh | ter of the Duke of Magenta, who -is now thirteen years of age. It is alleged the empress is favorable to this alliance, which would make Marshal MacMahon the father-in-law of an emperor. Her Majesty agrees, however, only on con | dition that there should be a majority in favor of the project. If not, the Bonapartists will fall bask on their old | plau of an appeal directly to the people to declare who shall be chief of the ex | ecutive. j Fraudulent Railroad Tickets.?An ; Omaha paper warns travelers going to the Pacilio coast, or to any olher point | very distant from New York, to be oare Wul whero they purchase their railroad tickets. It says that u few days since, a [gentleman traveling on tbe Uuion Pa? cific Railroad was stopped a few miles | West of Omaha for offering a ticket j which ? the conductor recognized as a fraudulent one. The traveler had bought it iu good faith, but,'anfortu [ nately for him, had made his purchase at what is called a "scalping office," ia Now York, and, of course, had been im l posod upon. At much I033 of time, ho roturncd to Omaha to institute legal ; proceedings against tho men who vic? timized him. The moral of the story is obvious?purchaso your railroad tickets of the authorized agents. Eari^y and Davis.?Gen. Jubnl A. Early, in a letter to the Lynohburg (Vu.) Republican, expresses his doubts as to the genuineness of a recently pub? lished interview between a. correspond? ent aud Jeff. Davis, in whioh Mr. Davis is mado to say many indiscreet and foolish things, among others a severe criticism of Lougstreet. Gen. Early says that ho was with Mr. Davis at the Virginia Spri?g3 where tho reported in? terviews occurred, and is on tho most intimato torms with him, but heard no such expressions as are attributed to him escapo his lips. Ex-Govornor Footo is very severe upon Mr, Davis for appointing his own and his wife's relations to office when President of tho Southern Confederacy. In this tho ex-Governor comes down with the Foote of a giant ou tho corns of his frie-ud Graut, but bedocsu'b ?dOm to be aware of tho fact. Cm Matters. ?Messrs. Charges M. McJunkin and John A.

The Charleston Medical College opens on the 15th October. It is unnecessary to dwell upon its advantages, as the peo? ple of the entire State are aware of what can be accomplished there. Messrs.

The Paper of the People.?The Phoenix is concise, direct, active, cover? ing the whole 5uiu of news aud busi? ness and social wuuts. It is, therefore, the paper of the people at all times, and is so recognized ii- every household, couutiug-room, workshop or other place where there is au individual who would keep informed up to the needs of the hour. Advertisers cf every class seek its columns in order to reach all the people through a paper just suited to meet all popular wants, and which has consequently a greater circulation than that of all the other city daily papers combined. Phcexixiana.?The way of the trans? lator is hard. The most timely of gifts?A watch. Never count your ships before they are hatched. Young ladies' economy?Never throw away a match. Tho brightest business fellows in the city?The newsboys. A good way to keep out of a scrape? Never go to the barber's. The man who pretends to know every? thing, generally knows nothing. If "money is hardening," the people may indulge the hope of getting back ere long to specie payments. Gen. Butler's success thus far in Mas? sachusetts is owing to his promise to put liqaor down. And he'll do it. He always did. Captain Jack is in a decline. He de? clines the gallows. A bore is a man who spends so much time talking about himself, that you oan't talk about yocrsejf. What did a blind wood-sawyer take to restore his sight? He took his horse and saw. ^ It is gratifying to observe, after so long and contiuuoas a stagnation, un? mistakable signs of a revival of busi? ness. This comparative inactivity of trade during the summer months is by uo moans common or peculiar to Colum? bia. During the heated term, the same iuauimacy iu mercantile affairs ia no? ticeable iu Northern, Eastern and West? ern cities. The tourist passing through any of the chief metropolises of the Union during the months of July and August, and not infrequently the early part of September, will find such a ces? sation of the activities of trade as to ljust?y the proprietors of some of the I largest mercantile firms rusticating in ! tho neighboring country, or seeking I surcease of labor at the watering places ! or sea-side resorts. Visiting some of our business houses, yesterday, we learned that they wore in receipt of so many orders as to call into requisition their whole clerical force. Several establishments exhibited a movement in striking contrast with theirlate dullness, vigorously packing goods for immediate shipment. This, early opening of the fall trade augurs a thriving business lea son, and our merohants, appreciating the fact, are energetically preparing for a successlil campaign.
