Giadutoue, how? ever, waa on the ground at tho appoint? ed tittle; and delivered an address. ' He admitted that Parliament hud been dis? solved because tho Government lelt their power was ebbing. He sharply attacked DTsraeli, for seeking to divert the attention of the people from domes? tic io foreign politics, xhe real issue before tbe country wus flnanco. Tho measures now proposed by the Govern? ment wero eminently practicable. Thoy wanted to reduce and reform local taxa? tion and abolish the income tux, intend? ing to relieve tho consumer by means of the existing surplus. Tbe adjustment of taxation and economy in the admi? nistration of the revenues were dwelt upon by tbe speaker at great length. The. necessity for economy, whioh the Conservatives never predicted, was un? favorable to the Conservative re-aotiou. la oonolneion, Gladstone proposed as the watoh-word for the party, "Liberal Union." If Liberals were not united, they would suffer a disgraceful defeat. If dissensions ooourred. he would refuse to continue to lead the party. The ad? dress of Mr. Bright to his constituents 1b published. It is brief, and possesses no special features, and fully conours iu the policy announced by Gladstone. In the Tiahborne case, to-day, Mr. Hawkins concluded his summing up for the prosecution with a passionate vindi . oatipn of Lady Badcliffe, who, he de? clared, had never been- soiled by the filthy, blighting, unholy and nnnatural touah of the defendant. At tho meeting in Blackhestb to-day, Gladstone spoke for ono hour, and at the close received a vote of confidence. Only 3,000 persons were present. Tho election in Greenwich will be held or tho 8d' day of February. Bright will appear before his constituents at Bir? mingham on Saturday next, and present his views on the situation at longth.

Washington," January 28.?The inva? sion of Mr. Marr's house and ?he search through his papers oauses surprise and ? indignation among our citizens. It is unprecedented, and the local officers are ashamed of the part they wero com? pelled to take in the matter. It seems that Smith appeared at police head quarters a few days ago. He presented a letter from a prominent oitizen of New Orleans, now here, and exhibited his orders from Police Chief Badger. The local police put themselves to some trouble to assure themselves that ho was really a detective and officer from New Orleans, but still declined to aid iu his search for alleged stolon papers. Smith then appeared before the Police Court, JudgeSnell presiding, aud upon making the affidavit telegraphed at uoon, swear? ing, in addition, which he seemed loth to do, that tho papers were worth ken dollars, tbe search warrant issued. De? tectives MoEifresh and Sargent were detailed to conduct tho search. A( an early hour, the three officers ontered Mr. Marr's rooms and exhibitod their credentials. Mr. Marr, flashing his eye over tbe warraut and finding it in form, submitted his keys. Nothiug whatever was found that did not belong person? ally to him as a lawyer, a man of family and a gentleman of large personal ac? quaintance and friendship. Noue of the papers were taken. Shoridau, Wur motb, Janin, MoEory and others were in the bnilding, and gathered into Mr. Marc's rooms to witness the search. There was great merriment, but this is not general. The community is indig? nant tbat a stranger within their walls should suffer such treatment. Tbe House Committee on War Claims, at ita session this morning, adopted a bill, which they will report at the., next call, which extends tbe time for filing war claims to Maroh 3, 1875, and re? quires an explicit statement of tbe items of amounts olaimo'd in each oasa. Section 3 provides for two additional agents and three additional clerks. The fourth ? seotion provides for the rejec? tion of the whole claim when any por? tion of it has been shown to bo fraudu? lent. Tho seventh section provides for the presentation of any olaims to tbe commission within their jurisdiction now pending and undetermined in any of., the executive departments before Maroh 8, 1875. Seotion 8 provides that the 1 commissioners shall also consider each elaims growing ont of the late war aa may be referred to thorn by either House of Congress, ou the recommenda? tion of a etanding committee of cither house. ?The French spoliation bill specially exolades all claims embraced in tho treaty with Prance of April, 1803, aud all suoh as'were allowed in whole or iu part under the {treaty of February, 1809, with Spain, and tho treaty of Jsly. 1831. with France. No claim* are admissible that have accrued since I 1801. .A petition, signed by from thirty to forty Senators, and from eighty to 100 members, addressed to tho Southern Claims Commission, requests them to make a report additional to tho ono re? cently submitted, which would iuolodo 1,000 claims already adjudicated. Tho object is to give Congress aa opportu? nity of acting npon these olaims during the present session. Chicago, January 28.?Tho B'uai I Sfita GOBT^StiSS Mvpiwu m resolution the order.,, ... ,. Philadelphi a, January 28.?This af? ternoon, after the performance at Fox's Theatre, a fight occurred between Wm. Glair, scene shifter, and John Benson, stage manager. Tho oanee of the fight was jealousy on Glair's part, because Beuson was talking to his wife. A goneral fight ensued between tho actors and others, during whioh Olair was stabbed fatally in the abdomen. Several arrests were mado. It is not known who inflicted the wound. Washington, Ja unary 29.?In the Senate; Conover, of Florida, presented a memorial for the removal of obstruc? tions in tho harbor of Pensucola. The Committee ou Contingent Expenses was instruotod to investigate as to the pro? priety of continuing tho practice of fur? nishing stationery to the reportorV. gal? lery. In the Houso, a bill for free banking was reported by tho Banking Committee and referred to the Committee of the Whole for debate. Tho Committee on Privileges and Election heard Morgan and Chandler respectively for Sjkesaud Spenoer. They outlined their lino of argument and named their witness, who will be hero by Monday week, to which time the Alabama case was ad? journed. Carpenter opoued his Louisi? ana epeeoh iu the Seuate. Philadelphia, January 29.?The Olympio Theatre, on Market, below Thirteenth, was burned to-day?sup? posed incendiary. Falling walls killod two firemen aud hurt others. Providence, January 29.?Tho schooner Emma D. Finney, from Sa? vannah for Boston, is at Newport; she lost part of her deck load and rigging. Philadelphia, January 29.?The vot? ing by the creditors of Jsy Cooke & Co. has resulted in tho choice of Edwin M. Lewis as trustee, under the fifty-third section of the Baukrupt Act, and a committee of creditors, consisting of Messrs. Shoemnker, Clayton, Norrie, H?llenstein and Brown. This mode of settling the estate, which has the unani? mous assent of the creditors us well us the debtors, was this morning confirmed by the court, and is thus rendered 'final. Washington, January 29?Evening. The examination of tho Congressional record regarding the West Virginia election case shows that-Davis is a Dem? ocrat and Hagaus a Be publican. Wud dol, of North Carolina voted for Davis but not for Hagaus. Fivo Democrats voted for both. Iu the Senate, Mr. Carpenter is mak? ing his great speech on Louisiana af? fairs. He will conclude to-morrow. So far, he has beeu mainly technical and legal upon the poiut that, when- Pinch back was elected, there was nobody in Louisiana capable of electing a Senator to the United States. His argument tends to show that the entire Govern? ment of Louisiana to-day is bastard, with not a drop of Republican blood in it. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has bad a full interview with tho Commissioner sof Internal Revenue iu reference to the threatened proceedings by revenue of? ficers in some localities at the South aguinst parties who failed to attach stamps to deeds and other instruments during the war. Tho Commissioner states that the Govurumeut has never prosecuted where instruments issued at the South during the war were un? stamped, nor attempted to compel such stumping; hut the Commissioner holds such deeds invalid until stamped; nor is it required to attach stumps according to the priee paid for property in Con? federate money, but according to its real value. The matter will probably be brought before Congress. The House Committee on Banking and Currency, Muynurd chairman, re? ported, to-day, a bill to establish freu beukiug in cases of banks without circu? lation, ou a deposit of ?10,001) in the Treasury, and diroetiug the issue, every month, by the Treasury of ?2,000,000 in United States notes, not bearing in? terest, and redeemable in gold iu two years. Tho committee desired to retain control of the bill, but tho Houso over? ruled and snubbed the committeo, by sending the bill to tho Committee of the Whole. The same committee also re? ported adversely tho bill proposing to establish post office savings banks; whioh was likewise referred to the Com? mittee of the Wholo. Appropriations occupied tho day.

The New York Sun, iu taking strong grounds' against tho increase of the 'United States army, compares tho ma? terial of tho Union nrmy, during the lato war, with that of tho Confederates, aud save: "The quality of the Confederate .soldiers effectually disposes of the plea that it is necessary to keep the regular army as a nucleus. Ou tho Union sido was the entire rank nud lile of the old army. Of that force, tho rebels had only officers. The Confederate rank aid tilo was composed wholly of raw men, mid, iu tho first two years of tho war,.volunteers. Yot what an infantry they werel Thc?e of as who saw them charge in line of battle never upproaoh a Confederate cemetery without taking "off oar hats in homage to the devoted braves who ever walked straight into tho jaws of death without blouching." Facts Wanted, Not Rumors.?The following genoral order has been issued from tbo War Deparlmeut: "Humors injurious to the reputation of an officer, or liable to produce mischief, if incor? rect, will not be reported by inspectors without careful investigation and defi? nite ascertainment of facts. Whouover it becomes the duty of au inspector to investigate reports, allegations or irregu? larities prejudicial to tho character of a commissioned officer, ho will invariably make known to that oflicur tho nature of the accusations against him, and give him an opportunity to uml:o in writing bis own statement upon t.ho subject, which statement will be embodied in and form part of tho inspector's report." The cost of thoTiohboroo trial will not exceed $2,500,000. which will be a pretty little bill for the umusoment John Bull bus had out of the claimant. Tho trial has takcu tho whole time of three judges for more thuu a year, the Government bus paid the expenses of the calimant'ti witnesses, as well as its own, enormous lees to severul lawyers, and tho cost of several commissions Bent to this country and to Australia. The end is expected in February. Boutwel! says tho South kasinereusod in wealth since tbe war. In South Ca? rolina in 1860, the property valuation was 8490,000,000, aud tho taxes 8392, 000?now tho valuation his fallen to $184,000,000, and the taxes are $2,000, 000. In Georgia tho cash vuluo of farms in I860, was 8157,000,000; in 1870, $124,000,000. In Louisiana taxes amount to confiscation, nud Grant's Governor recommends repudiation.

YORK FrH?HOinB: In your comments upon the monstrous proposition of tho Charleston News and Courier to reject 86,400,000 of tho bonds of thii Stato, you 9ay thut "a portion of these bonds are unquestiona? bly fraudulent." My opinion difi'eYs widely from yours, uud is based not npon rumor, but upon the most tho? rough knowledge of the law authorizing their issue and of all thn facts relating thereto; and I give it as my unqualified opinion that these bonds are unques? tionably a valid, legal obligation ot the State, and that the courtH will so decide if they have an opportunity. It in a somewhat remarkable fact that, so far, tho courts huvc never boeq,called upon to sit in judgment upon them. The Charleston News and Courier, representing, as you say, tho Conserva? tive party of the State, favors payment in full of the old bonds, a scaling of tho new, with exception of tho conversion bonds, to soventy-tivo e?iits ou tho dol? lar, and a rejection of tho conversion bonds altogether. Evidently politics enter somewhat into this scheme of adjusting the debt. Why is tho old debt more sacred than tho new??a question diflicult, indeed, to answer. The News and Courier aud all whom it represents were highly gratified, a few daya ago, when tho House of Represen? tatives voted overwhelmingly to reject tb.es? conversion bonds, but I doubt very much whether such legislation will redound to tho best iuterosts of the State or to the Legislature, who in this instance voted ns the New* and Courier advised. NILES G. PARKER, Ex-Treasurer State of S. C. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 27. 1873. Schism in the Presbyterian Church. The trial of the Rov. E B. Smith be? fore the Westehoster Presbytery 61 New York, on tbe charge of creating a schism in the Presbyterian Church by adopting certain doctrines aud practices of the so-called "Catholic Apostolic Church," has resulted in a verdict of guilty, it was resolved by a unanimous vote that Mr. E. B. Smith bo deposed from his functions us a minister in the Presbyte? rian Church. The reverend gentleman had previously proclaimed bis intention tn appeal to the syuod. A correspondent asks: "Why is it that Congress grunts such largo pensious to the young soldiers of the late war aud such small pensions to tho old soldiers of the war of 1812?" Well, to tell you the truth, those old soldiers are con? founded hard to get to tho polls, and when you get them there, they urc so few iu number they don't amount to much.?Lotdscilie Courier Journal. A young woman iu New York lias brought suit against a convict at Sing Sing for breach of promise of marriage. If we were in that convict's place we would have a most terrible aud uu natural revenge. We would break out of that prison, aud go and marry that young woman, and buy her a last year's bonnet und make her wear it for the rest of her life. Wo aro not surprised to barn tbat our belles now create artificial dimples in their cheeks by sacrificing their lour molars ?for do wo not read that "Her cheeks, that dimple iu her smile. Bear pinks that blossom all the while?" whioh is far more becoming than show? ing one's teeth. Seven Irish immigrants arrived here ou Saturday hut, uud readily found em? ployment in the town aud country, al? though they were not sent to till orders.

These will, no doubt, get employment iu Charleston, through tbe influence of their friends and country? men.
