COJiUMBli^ S. C. Tuesday Kortiing, September 80,1873. cotton ! in the Bala nob <jp TBADE.? A telegram from London states that. United States stooto have been greatly depredated by the financial troubles in New York., The Southern States have nothing to fear from this. Heretofore United Statea stocks have been the ready instrument of exchange between the Northern States arid Europe. It wee an efficient expedient to rectify balances, not only against individuals, but the whole conn try. United States bonds, equal in value in this country and Europe, are used, to settle the differ onoo. But if" the decline in United States securities is serious they may be unavailable. . To send them over to Europe to settle balances od a deoliniug market will etill further depress them. The other chief recourse of exchange on Europe iB the cotton of the.Southern Statee.. If the former means of -ex? change becomes weak or unavailable, the cotton must bo.resorted to. Hence the prioe of cotton may not only be such bb the demand iu Europe for its factories require, but may be stimulated also by the demand for exchange which the necessities of the general commerce of the North may require aud which cotton alone oan furnish. The dooline of tho American securities, therefore, which uavo heretofore constituted a basis of exchange at the North, may be decidedly favorable to the cotton-pro? ducing South. -^?z-^?-??-* The Gbaxojes akd tub Panic.'? (Jno result of the present anomalous condi? tion of financial affairs will boa great inoreaso of strength . to tho granges. The grange movement bases itself on the declaration, that tho agricultural in? terest, the one underlying, all others in the United States, 1b, by a vicious mone? tary system; made the sport and prey of unscrupulous monopolists. It ia said that the crops are tossed about by all the iniquitous machinery of "corners," ??panics," "look-upo" and "equeezes,' until the cunning j manipulators of the money centres are able to secure and dispose of them on their own terms. Heuoe, iu Burke'd language, those pa 4aees which rise. like exhalations, those equipages which gjeam like meteors, while the men of toil find themselves at the end of .the harvest - but little better off than they were when the seed was put into-the soil. ? . ? r ??-??-?-r* There is . something painfully sug? gestive of horrors in the. fact of the sealed packet left by. Oaptaiu Hali, of the Polaris, with directions that it is not to be opened during the life-time of Lady Franklin, All reader* of the nar? ratives of Arctic explorers are aware of the straits to wbioh mariners have been reduced in the melancholy regions of ice and famine. That Captain Hall ob? tained some terrible revelations of suf? fering aud .dire' exigenoy experienced by the members of the Franklin expedi? tion,?there oan be little doubt; and this accounts for his oouoeru that the brave hearted willow of the brave-hearted explorer should be spared details that would only serve to embitter still fur? ther her deoliniug years. Moke ConuENcv Needed at the Spurn.? Tho straitened oonditiou of some of the Southern bunks and the general money stringency in this section of the country at this time adds force to the cry that has constantly, without a moment's intermission, gone up from tbo South for a larger'share of tho na-, tional currency. In the distribution of currency our .section has" beon treated with gross unfairness. We have not tho figures by us, but we know that the proportion of distribution has been largely, overwhelmingly, in favor of Now England and the central States, and against; the great agricultural sec? tions, the West aud South, particularly the South.

GoitBTDEtfca Bxsyo?KD?No; Bow ox the Banks.?Tbe familiar adage, "after a storm a oalm," was never more aptly vnrifW than in the - monetary affairs, of QharleatorL'?n Saturday. ..The iereri?h excitement' which naturally prevailed, on Friday,'aa a result of tho scarcity of curronoy and the temporary suspension of several of the banks, appeared to have entirely passed away. Broad street, the place where tho financial men mostly congregate, wrb in a state of serenity. The national banks were opened promptly at 9 o'clock, and tho tellers prepared themselves to begin the work of paying oat currency. But, for once, tho tellers were mistaken. There was no ran on the banks. On the contrury, thoau institutions were almost idle dur? ing the earlier hours of the day, and from the deserted appearance of the baildings, ono would never have ima? gined that there had been a financial fever in the oity on tho previous day. By 11 o'olook, & few straggling business men began to approaoh the tellers' desks, and by mid-day the banks began to do business in earnest. There were, however, very few heavy drafts, and not more than the usual Saturday demands for oarrency wore made. Tho depo? sitors showed no disposition whatever to drain the bnnks, and the payment of checks was made as usual. The panicky feeling was so effectively arrested that many persons who had withdrawn their deposits on the previous day brought them back to the bunks, and the im? pression beoamo very general that the bank vaults were the safest places for the money. The business men of Charleston have, with their accustomed thoughtfulnoss, readily comprehended the exaot situation, and with u justifia? ble confidence in the soundness of the banks, havo resolved to unite in sus? taining them and frowning down al! at? tempts to get up a pauic. On the streets, money was scarce, and the dearth of currency was felt to a greater or less degree in all branches of trade. Whilo, however, this was tho case, it by no moans caused a considerable depres? sion in trade. The markets were thronged ns usual, and small currency circulated freely. A curious feature of the cotton mar? ket on Saturday was a proposal to buy oottou for gold, which was to be brought from New York by express. The sellers, however, refused to muke n gold quotation, saying that they wanted greenbacks, and had no use for the hard money. ? Charleston News, 20th. Cuba?A Bad Condition- of Affaxbs. A Havana letter to the Traveller eays: Since Mr. M. C. Villamil got tired of uselessly fighting sgainst the number? less fiuancsal rascalities in the public: offices of this country, and left for Spain on tho 11th of last August, a notable change for the worse has taken place, and everything has gono back to the ohicanery of old times. And, if we jadgo from the general ways of the ad? ministration of the gevernment of this island, it is evident that the plun of sell? ing off the confiscated property was pro? posed and adopted, because it is ex? pected that a portion of the profits of the sale will fly to tho pockets of some of the smart officers who will have some? thing to do with it. And there seems to be a great hurry to do the business at once, before a successor shall be ap? pointed to fill the office of Chancellor Of the Exchequer, now vacant in the coun? try, since Mr. Yillami resigned it by telegraph. Whatever the motives may be, the Captain-General has been in? duced to dispose of all the confiscated property, and has caused a decree to be published accordingly in the papers here. In the pompous preamble of the decree, there are some expressions to tho effect, thui the insurrection being the cause of tbe debt of the State, the insurgeuts must pay it. But it is thought here that the first portion of that debt was caused by the dream of annexing Santo Domingo to Spain, nod that tho whole of it was contracted by the supreme Government at Madrid, in its foolish efforts to maintain its despo? tism in Cuba, and to extend it ugaiu to South America. An Unwilling Stockholder Recom- I Penhed.?Some thirty years ago, a | young blacksmith, just "out of hi* time,'* went to Providence in quest of work, and obtained employment with the American Screw Company. When pay-day oamo around, ho was informed that he would be expected to take a large portion of his wages in tho stock of the company. Ho demurred at this, but finally consented, as no other situa? tion seemed to offer itself. This-conti? nued on some time, till the young man been mo quite a share-holder in the con? cern, and eventually, as the shares in? creased in value, purchased some addi? tional to those coming to him as wages. To-day, that man is ono of the most wealthy property-owners iu Norfolk County, Mass., and has a fide villa in one of its quiet villages?all tho result of the few shares of capital stock forced upon him when the above company wa/ straggling with adverse circumstances. An exohange says: "Carl Vogt ar gaeB that Adam was a monkey before Eve was created, because a gorilla has thirteen ribs and a man only twelve, one having been removed to mako a wo? man." Ho may have been a monkey before Eve was created, but he wasu't afterwards, or he wouldn't havo suffered that unhappy female to make such n fool of him. "There ore three women candidates for the office of school superintendent in Cass County, Louisiaua. Seventeen qualified voters have already been talked to death, and tho oumpaign will soon begin in earnest." As nt least half tho voters ot that Stato deserve to bo talked to death, wo hope tho canvass will be uu extraordinarily vigorous one. 'The lightning struck Johu Sauls, of Wultorboro, but did not kill him, and he i:> in a fair nay of recovery. Olbajuno House Obbtifioates,?-Tbe banks ?enerally of the chief olties have adopted the plan of settling balances with clearing house certificates instead or greenbacks during the prevent fiarry. To the general public, it may toe well to explain what this action signifies. In a time like the present, everything whioh tends to economize the use of currency is pro ianlo a relief to the money market. New York led off in , the operation, she being the monetary i centre of the country, tho place where other banks keep greater or less ba I lances. She should respond with currency when the bunks of other cities call for thoir funds. But for all of her own purposes, she may use anything which her own banks may agree to con? sider good, and so may those of Balti? more aud other cities. All the batiks meet once each day at the Clearing House to exohange checks. Some one bank, for instance, turns into tho Clearing Honse checks drawn on other bankB for $500,01)0. The other banks, perhaps, turn in checks ou that bank for $550,000. The oue bank, therefore, owes the Clearing House 850,000. Usually this sum would be paid to the Clearing House in greenbacks. Iu ol? der, however, to economize the use of greenbacks, the one, its condition being shown to be perfeotly solvent, passes in its own cheok for $50,000. Other bauks against which there is a balance do the same. Tho Clearing House then issues its certificates for an equul amount to the banks which have a balance coming to them from the day's clearings. The system is perfectly business-like, though it necessitates u frequent examination of the assets of tho several debtor banks by the Clearing House Committee. Calcraft, the Euglish haugmau, blun? dered after the custom of hangmen at Liverpool, the other day. The rope which he had provided broke when the drop was spruug, and tho poor wretch who was to be publicly choked to death remained alive and ublc to speak for the eight minutes that elapsed bctwecu the first attempt to hang him and the final and successful one. Oue of the myste? ries of the age is the fatuity with which governments cling to this brutal and in? efficient means of punishment. Not only is it the rule, rather than the ex? ception, that an accident couverts the gibbet into u prolonged and ingenious instrument of torture, but the custom of hanging murderers is merely a waste of opportunities which might be turned to the benefit of science. So loug as the murderer is to be put to death, let him be made the subject of painless scientific experiments, whereby his death may be oiude a positive benefit to the world in other ways than by his mere removal from among the living. The London* Agent.?The Louden Agent for the Legation Fund of the United States Government was tho house of Barings. The President re? moved the agency to the house of Clews Sc Co. That house having failed, (with a possible loss to tho United States of $200,000.) President Graut changes the account to the house of Jay Cooke, McCulloch k Co.?i. e., from a broken house to a tainted one. We admire the tenacity of the President's friendship. It shows that he has a heart, notwith? standing the sharp suyiugs about his coldness and stolidity. We iike him the better for knowing his friendships are devoted. But would it not bobetterfo him aud the country, if they were abet* ter placed?i. e., placed where they would do tho most public good? Eloquence Recognized.?The report? er of a Nashville paper who, mentioning a young lady's decease, tonchingly al? luded to her as "one of the brightest jewels that ever glittered iu tho diadem of an earthly home; one of the purest stirs that ever gleamed upon tho front- j let of onr social sky; one of the sweetest flowers that ever gleamed iu tho garden of earliest, association," has had hin1 ?alary increased to four dollars r. month, j half cash and tho balance in cord-wood. It is said that the President had about $20,000 on deposit iu Jay Cooke's bam;, but that on the morning of the failure a tin box was scut from tbe bank to the White House. Poor Andy Johnson had about $(30,000 ou deposit in tbe First National Hank, but no tin box was sent to him. Another distinguished de? positor, whoso interests were shame fully disregarded, was Senator J. J. Patterson, of South Carolina, who suf? fered to tho tune of $11,000. The majority, if not nil, of the bank? ers and brokers who have been ruined by tho crash wero well known as earnest friends aud contributors to the success of the Republican party. Their ruin, then, is thoir couutry'e good. They have ruthlessly despoiled tho Govern? ment at every opportunity, and they Je servo their fate. St. Domingo is again enjoying the luxury of a revolution. Telegrams from Porta Plata bring information of a disturbance, brought on by Geu. Gar? cia, which gives promise of a continued duration. Tho war cry of tho prouun ciados is, "Down with the Samaua Convention." President Grant and ex-President Johnson both lose heavily, it is said, by tho suspension of the First National Bank. "Pale death (the bank panio) shakes alike the palace of tho King (the White House of Ctusar) and the cottage of the beggar (Andy Johnson's tailor shop.") A daughter of Eog, one of tbo Sia? mese twins, was recently married in North Carolina. Her father gave her away, with the assistance of her uncle. A little boy, eight years of age, named Edward O'Day, was aocoideutally ruu over by a cart iu Charleston, on Satur? day, and killed. Diokeus' works have been decided too immoral for general reading by tlie ma? nagers of the Vermont Stute School Library. ' 'Tbe BW>nblioan'eltnaHon Irf^ Spain seems to be rightening a little. Tho leaders nppour to have realised thai while a free goveromont Is best in the Valence of war and general disorder may require the temporary imposition Of strict military discipline. If they are-able to enforce their new restric? tions ? they may succeed in weathering .the storm. At the Baue time, we have reports that the CarliBts are' getting de? moralized. The uniri.lh'uiness of war bulletins is proverbial, however, and Spanish bulletins uro the roost untrust? worthy of all. There are baid to be many destitute Americans left over at Vicuna, the de? bris, as it were, of the multitude that thronged the city. Some are stranded, like Michael Angelo Titmarsb wheu in pawn in Lille, with no soft-hearted grand-mother to scud the live pound uote; some arc newspaper correspond? ents wrecked in Bohemia; one isugrave professor, "with a natural history col? lection for sale," a commissioner of a Western State. Memphis paper3 atlirm that Asiatic cholera has, for several days, prevailed at Oaceola,' Ark., a small town on the Mississippi Biver, forty miles above Memphis. There were pome six or seven deaths on the 10th. The negroes are all leaving the town, aud the cotton pickers in the vicinity are getting away as fast as they can. This mutt seriously iucouvenieuce the planters, and unless the panic ceases soou there will be much cotton lost. Congressman Farnsworth dou't get on well with his bad: pay. He under? took to distribute it among his con? stituent.1:, und three Conuties refused to touch the plunder.

They don't propose to become j parties to a steal, those stupid Westers farmers. A despatch ir'.'iu Teheran announces the return of the Shalt of Persia to his capital. The whole population turned out to escort him to the palace. The Shah, in a brief speech, stated that bo had visited the parliaments and princi? pal institutions of Earope, with the special object of introducing what he sa w good in them into the administra? tion of his government. An Iowa farmer, named Williams, last week murdered two neighbors, named Keytou aud Englau, on Key ton V farm, in Muriou County, Iowa, because he supposed they had spoken disre? spectfully of his wife. Keytou half-way admitted the charge, und wus shot first, and Engian next, although he from the start denied the charge. Williams afterwards made good his escape. Darn Or & Carolinian in Texas.? Rev.

Colombia seems to bo located iu a quiet eddy, while the tide of excitement sweeps through our neighboring cities. There is no panic. There is no excitement. There bus been no run on any of oar banks The repose affords the' most healthful sign of the, vigor and strength of financial life. Such evidences of confidence are always valuable. They are particularly valuable when - an ex? citement^ springing from purely ficti? tious causes, is doing harm in other cities. The situation is creditable to every element of oar financial and' in? dustrial life; and it matters cot what particular enujuj may have eeoured this quiet and c< cfidence, it is sufficient for us to know that we have saccessfally weathered the storm. . Whether the caution of our bankers in keeping their fingers off tainted stocks and in exercis? ing prudence in their commercial ad? vances, or whether we have been, ore served by the general confidence and coolness of depositors, or both, it mat? ters not. Without any vain and unbe? coming bocst, we may at least enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that there is one elear spot in the sky. The fact I carries its own commentary. Colombia will gaiu credit at home and abroad. Her financial status will be regarded ae fixed upon a rock, against which the rains may descend and the tempest beat, but ia vain.

From Liege comes the report of a duel sueh as Charles Lever might have narrated from his aotive imagination. Some German officers dining at a res tauraut grew impatient at a dilatory service, and one of them exclaimed, "Are there no French officers to wait on us?" Instantly a captain Sn the Belgian Guards, of Irish desoent, took up the iasult, and said, though there might be no French officers present, there were Belgians ready to guard the honor of their brothers in arms. A meeting followed, and the German was shot through tho brain. Caft. Hall's Death.?Wm. Morton, toooud mate, who personally attended Capt.
