Tacaday Morning, May 11, 1875. Commerce and the Pre$s. _ _ At the 107th anniveraary of the Cham? ber of Commerce of New York, oele brated last Thursday evening, the |nie ruble William Cullen Bryant xespomdrd to the sentiment in honor of tine press." He said that commerce and tho press are closely united, aro dependent on eaoh othpr^.aad cannot^be severed -without destroying both.

But, or* the whoU, he boldly maintained that as a class, the journals of this coun? try are wiser and more virtuous than its ' legislators, and those who justly consi? dered ita influence for good, should bei excused for a feeling of satisfaction at| belonging to ?? ditful a class. ,nitf-Ofi * ?? >.. StMa Press Association. X gocidly number of the editors and publisher* of j newspapers in this State | met in Charleston, last Thursday, and organized a State Press Association. Constitution was adopted, in which the objects of the association were declared to be the promotion of the interests and the elevation of the tone and character of the press of the State of South Caroli? na. The annual meeting is to be held on the second Wednesday of May in eaoh year; the officers are to bo elected by ballot a majority being necessary to elect\ tKe President,; Vice-Presidents, Secretaries and Treasurer to constitute an executive committee. The annual fee of members is fixed at $5, payable in advance. It was devolved upon the exe? cutive committee tjp make arrangements for the delivery of an address each year upon the subject of journalism. It was made the duty of every member, upon ascertaining that any advertiser or adver? tising ageua does '-not pay his bills, or is ?otherwise untrustworthy, to communi? cate the fact to the Corresponding Sec? retary, who shatfcninjjsjsedjSately report by circular to eveJyAnctobeV^tne informa? tion so receiveoSAd fronx'trhWm it came, such communications to be considered confidential. The association adopted .resolutions upholding the liberty of the press: ,i ? e . -> ?; < ?> ;* tj Resowidi That we most emphatically condemn any attempt,-from whatsoever source, and irr whatever guise they come, to abridge in axw way the,freedom of t\ to aojiflg^n, aiw^way tno,ijreeitom ot tno !^j^l>ej*, TTiat "vfe look upon nll'inter ferenoe with the chartered rights of the Eress to inquire into the conduct of pub e officers', and to print whatever mat? ter is proper for public information, as a practice dangerous in its tendency, sub? versive of right, insulting to justice, fraught with evil and to be .denounced and resisted- at 'all times, on all occasions, and by all lawful means. A resolution was also adopted express? ing gratification at the failure of the prosecution against the Charleston News and Courier tot libel, and tendering to its proprietors congratulations upon the re? sult. The following, gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: President?Mr. James A. Hoyt, ^ind*>r son Itdelligencer; ?int Vioo-Prenident?

It was resolved to hold- tjae m*xt meet? ing of, the association in Sparianburg. c4i 'FrIdjto ^..p??? repr^sa^tives made a delightful excursion to Dray ton HaU, and enjoyed a ma down the harbor, after whioh, in the evening, came the in? evitable dinner, at the Charleston Hotel, ot which wHy wine, sentiment and good feeling prevailed, and the finishing touch wss giie?ft$$ftV?u?&> Asso? ciation, Ao,*#?br:ws w^sh a long and useful lite, trndtlmuob valuable service/ in the^ehttSeof sottnd and able journal? ism.-' - aartt wo t.i v an ? utttl . it;:?/ t .jt.H ,f/4V. ? 0?

If yield of honey is most desired, the stocks shouYd* be "k'ept strong in numbers and prevented from swarming. This is done by cutting away the queen in embryo *an 3rem oving trie' surplus honey as fa'sC" tm.it is stored. May is tho best honey ujonth. Mr. 13. says that his host hives gave the "largest yield in May of last; year, filling the surplus receptacle twice in twenty-seven days, fifty pounds per hive and the honey in the brood cham? ber left undisturbed. He intends to put in practical operation this spring a honey extractor, by the use of which a large yield of clear.honey is obtained, and the frames of comb returned to the hive and the labor of beos in building of comb economised. There is no king bee. The queen is the mother as well as the ruler of the entire oolony. In tho Southern Baptist Convention, in Charleston, on Saturday, a large num? ber of reports, of committees were sub? mitted. Among them one proposing the publication of a Southern Baptist Re? view. It was decided that tho next ses? sion of the Convention be held at Rioh mond, Vu., at the First Baptist Church, on Thursday before the second Sunday in May, 1876, at 10 o'clock A. M , Rev. L T. Tjchenox, of Alabama, to deliver the convention' sermori, and Rev. TV. H. Whitsott, i of South' Carolina, alternate. The financial condition and the mission? ary work was reported as successful be? yond expectation. 4 . . Tho Mexican Congress has approved the construction 01 sundry railroads, in one or more of which, in view of recent events, it is presumable parties in tho United' States are interested. The Pa? cific mail steamers have stopped touch? ing at Mexican ports on the Pacific, be? cause the Government does not pay what it owes them. The revolution in Miohoocan has paralyzed business in that State. Rebels at Queretaro have captured a convoy of arms and merchan? dise, and at Arroyo Seoo, after a sharp fight, robbed a diligence and murdered one of the passengers. ? ? ? ? ? The day fixed for the opening of the Centennial exhibition is May 10, 1876? just one year off. The buildings will be ready for the reception of goods by the close of 1875, when, by contract, all the buildings ? must be completed. Of late the prospects of tho success of the exhi? bition have brightened visibly. Some of the European Governments, that at first hung back* are now actively enlisted in the matter; and, in the case of Great Britain, the request has already conic for more space, for her goods than had at first been allotted. Ip the "District Court, in Charleston, on the 8th, Judge Bryan . presiding, Alonzo Payne, colored, indicted for sell? ing .unstamped medicines, was tried and acquitted. William Moody and John Larry, indicted for robbing the post office at Columbia, were tried and con? victed. L. DoB.

The Bornwell Sentinel says: "The storm which occured hero on Saturday evening last, and laid waste so many' other sections, was terrific beyond de-1 scription. ? Thousands of dollars would 'not repair the damage done in various Earts of Barnwell County. Fencing, out uildings, trees, entire crops, Ac, were carried Tike chaff before the wind, and near the village a stable belonging to Dr. J. J. O'Bannon was blown down and four horses were killed. Tho Grand Duke William of Austria made a speech recently which is regard? ed as ominous. He is Inspector-General of Austrian Artillery, and was at Prague I on an official tour reviewing the tToops. At tho close of the review , he said: "I thank you for your diligenco in study, and for the thorough acquaintance you havo displayed with the practical duties 1 of your profession. In view of tho pre Kent apparent instability of peace, these qualities become doubly important." The NSW York Bulletin, in an article on the diffusion of labor, calls upon tho leading railroads to take, free of charge, J to the West the surplus lubor found on theiPeaboard. It says that if labor could be easily transferred from the localities and employments where it is not wanted, to those whero it could bo readily em? ployed, the net product of the country would be instantly increased one-fourth upon the present amount The passage of what is known as the "Peace Preservation Act," and which is in reality an oppressive law akin to the "Curfewr' law imposed by the Norman conquerors in England, has been so ob? stinately resisted in tho English Parlia? ment "by the Irish members, that the business of the Government has: been seriously obstructed ' Among the 'Hreasure" destroyed by fire at the Union Lednge Club House, in New York, were Nast's picture of, "Abra HB? ^mlSMB?s^ *w W 7ear for(t4?e.tTn1y),loyaL ,; M ?

There will be a stnvwberry festival at | Carolina Hall on Thursday and Friday evenings next, for the purpose of raising funds for the improvement of the Marion Street Methodist Church property. Tho Ashley Fire Company, with tho Chicora Band, escorted by the Enter? prise, serenaded Governor Chamberlain, Comptroller Dunn and ex-Governor' Scott and others last night The Ashley is a remarkably fine company. A young son of Mr. Abram Stork was severely bitten, yesterday, by two savage bull dogs, on the premises of Mr. T. Crowley, on Pendleton street. The little fellow was terribly lacerated. An ounce or two of lead will settle the business for the animals. Mr. II. Skipper finds timo from his more substantial duties to look after a large patch of strawberries, embracing about a quarter of an acre. He cultivates the Sir Harry, Wilson and Albany?the former sweet enough to be eaten without sugar. All of the varieties are very large and finely flavored. Ho expects to pick fully 1,000 quarts. The colored desperado, Andrew Barnes, who so terribly injured his wife several nights ago, mode his appearance at the houso a second time and made desperate threats, not only against his wife, but other women in the yard. He was fired \ipon by a colored man, and re? turned the fire. A policoman now guards the place. The would-be mur? derer should be hunted down and lynched. The sensation on Main street, yester? day afternoon, was the sudden disap? pearance of a portion of the sidewalk, in front of tho store of Messrs. F. B. Or? chard & Co. The oldest inhabitant in? forms us that a well, from which excel? lent water was obtained, once existed at that particular spot, but it was filled up when the town began to put on city airs. These wells wero situated in different portions of Columbia, and several "sinks" have occurred within the recol? lections of some of the young residents. Death of Sammt Moebis. -We are truly pained to record the death of this young man, which occurred on Sunday after? noon, about 7 o'clock, from consump? tion. His age was about twenty-four. The afflicted parents and family have the earnest sympathy of the entire com? munity in this their second bereavement. The Toobwament To-Dat.?Our co? lored firemen tournament to-day, and they confidently look forward to a capi? tal frolic in fact, it commenced on Sunday morning, with the arrival of the Union Star and Ashley machines, with delegations from those companies?tho former of whom are quartered with the Vigilante and the latter with the En? terprise. Yesterday' afternoon's train brought the other members of the two companies, who wero met at the depot by their .hoste?

Wo regret to hear, at the same time, that his visit was one of mortification and disappointment. Externally the build? ing is all that good taste could desire; internally it is represented to be, in some respects, a failure The court room is assigned to the third story, and is no wider than the pediment end indi? cates in tbe elevation. The post office occupies the place of honor, and even the small employees of the Government, such as the Internal Revenue Collector, Ac, have places assigned Iben? on the spacious second floor; while the right arm of the Government, indeed, one of its grand deparments?the judiciary? has been stuck up into the cock-loft We are informed that the attention of Mr. Mullett (.the architect of the build? ing) was called to this incongruity, by a gentleman oi this city, at an early dov, who was informed by him that he did not quite Understand what he was talk? ing about. As Mr. Mullett bos gone into sweet retirement, we sincerely trust that his successor will take this matter in hand, and, before it is too late, restore the fitness of things in this new build? ing, which was intended as an ornament to the town and a suitable representative of tbe Government at the capital of the State. This building will lost a thou? sand years, for it is' constructed of our native granite, and it should be now so constructed as to meet all the growing wants of an increasing population and the greatly increased and ever increasing business of the United States Courts/ There was a time, perhaps, when these Courts did sit and could sit anywhere, but that time has gone by. The dignity of the Federal Government is now presented to our people in nothing so much as in its Judiciary. Let it not in Columbia be jammed "into a comer," which can be conveniently reached only by an ele? vator, and when reached, is a narrow, confinod crib, quite unsuited to its pur? pose. By all means, let tho Courts of the Union occupy their dignified posi? tion on tho second floor, and place the small fry up-stairs. To put the Revenue Collector in elegant quarters and the ' Chief Justice of the United States under the sky-light, seems to be reversing tbe order of things. We do trust that Chief Justice Waite and Judge Bond will visit us before their return, and overhaul this important matter while there is time to correct a serious blunder, which will be felt now and ever hereafter. We are sure that a visit from the Chief Justice, enabling our citizens to form his ac? quaintance, will be a source of gratifi? cation to him. We can bespeak for him the friendly good will, the conrtesies and profound respect of our people. Corr.t of General Sessions.?Tho Court met, yesterday, at 10 A. M. The Healed verdict in the case of the State against Ellison M. Wcston and Wm. M. Heyne was opened, and the verdict was found to be "guilty." The case of the State against James A. Bowley was fixed for Saturday, owing to the absence of Gen. Dennis, now in at? tendance on the United States Court, sitting in Charleston. Calendars No. 6 and No. 1 were then called. The Court of Common Pleas will commence, n^xt Monday. The regular order fi>r the trial of cases adopted at the bust term, will be rigidly observed at this. Mr. Northrop gave notice that he would move for the enlargement of Wm. Quash, who has boon in jail awaiting bis trial for murder more than a year, on the last day of this term. State against Nod Thompson, grand larceny, was tried: verdict guilty. State against Jesse Codfrey, ^Esop Thompson, Dick Wood, for "burglary and larceny, was tried, and a verdict of guilty as to larceny returned. The Court adjourned until Wednes? day, at 10 A.

After gentle showers about mid? day, the sun caine out in the Afternoon in all its splendor, out veiled My passing clouds, much of its power was abated, whilo the air was.' tempered by cooling breezes. It Wh qfflay for the Indulg'cncaj of patriotic" feeling, for putting away self and consecrating time and effort to the offices of affectionate tribute to the hallowed .dead. It was Memorial Day. The heart traveled back :i few years, and took in afresh all the noble, thrillingand affecting events which preparod the way for a sad, sad sequel. But hope was present, too, and the occasion was one which lod the thoughts forward as well* as backward. The lesson of duty, iu obedience to which our soldiers died, receives every year from these pilgrim? ages rich illustrations and fresh incen? tives. It would be a mistake to suppose that they merely feed sentiment, and are barren oi useful and valuable effects. They arc visits to the Mcccas of patriot? ism, from which we return with renewed ardor and inspiration to engago in the struggles of life, and with brave hearts to encounte. its trials. At 5 o'clock, the tap of the drum an? nounced that the Rifle Club, Captain Thompson, were on their way to the cemetery. They were followed by the citizens generally, in carriages and en' foot. Business was partially suspended, many of the stores being closed. The flag of the Independent Fire Company was bordered with crape and hoisted at half-mast. The bell of the Washington Street Church was heard for the first time - tolling in memory of the departed heroes. At G o'clock, a procession was formed at the porter's lodge, in Elmwood Come terv, with the Rille Club in front, Mrs. 3. T. Darby, Miss I. D. Martin and other officers of the Ladies' Monumental Asso? ciation; then followed several hundred children, in white dresses and black sashes: after whicn came the ladies, fol? lowed by a large delegation of the sterner si>x. On passing the Confederate monument, arms were reversed. Arriv? ing at the soldiers' lot, the Rifles filed along the South front, guards were Sdaced, and after a fervent prayer by the lev. J. H. Stringfellow, the children, girls and ladies, laden with wreaths, evergreens and other floral ornaments, entered the enclosure and proceeded to decorate the mounds of the hundreds reposing therein. The graven in other portions of the cemetery and in the dif? ferent church-yards had been attended to previously. Nor were the Federal dead neglected?the few graves in the cemetery found willing hands to deco? rate them. Upon the conclusion of the ceremonies, the Rifles reformed, and the immense throng quietly left the dead to their repose. The soldiers' lot had been pnt in per? fect condition?weeds and grass removed, mounds arranged and walks put in order. In the centre of the enclosure was a moss-covered temple, trimmed with evergreens, while suspended in and around mere memorial wreaths in great numbers. Over the gateway was an ity inscribed shield, "Honor to the Heroes who Died for their Country." TJbe North front exhibited a pyramid, covered with evergreens and moss, and surmounted by an anchor, croes and crown, with nameS' of the different battle-fields? Manassas,' Cold Harbor, Gettysburg, Seven Fines, Sharpsburg, Wilderness, Fredcrickshrtrgj Petersburg, Chancel lorsville, < 'hic amaUga, and dozens of others -and the inscription, "In Memory of our Heroes who Sleep in Distant Graves." On the West was a large cross, on which were the last words of Stone? wall Jackson, ."Let us pass ovor the river and rest Under tho shade of the trees." On the East was another cross, and an extract from Father Ryan's "Sword of Robert Loe:" "Never, hand drew s>word fioiu sUua a* free, And never sword led braver bartu, ' Or braver bled for a brighter land, Or brighter land bad cause so grand, Or a cause a chief like Lee." The base of the projected monument to the Confederate dead, in the centre of the cemetery, was drapod with crape. This monument, when completed, will be a magnificent one. The base is of finely-cut granite, upon which is to be a shaft, emblazoned with the arms of the State, surmounted by a marblo statue, representing a Confederate soldier, with arms at rest. This statue is now being worked upon by a prominent sculptor in Italy. By means of concerts, tableaux and general subscriptions, $5,000 have J br?n paid for this work, and it is hoped that before next Decoration Bay, the monument will loom up in all its beauty and grandeur.

Ever since the In? troduction of Hostetter's Stomach Bit- . ters, twenty years ago, renovation, and : restoration, not depletion and prostra? tion, have been the watch-words of tbe judicious portion of the profession.' The remarkable sncccss of this famous vege? table preventive, invigorant. and correc? tive has worked a complete revolution' in tbe general treatment of disease. At l first, tho dogmatio members of Ahe faculty would not believe in it "What!" they exclaimed, "cure liver complaint with | out mercury, chronic rheumatism with? out Colchicum, fever and. ague without quinine! Impossible!" But the most j obatinate incredulity must yield in the I end to practical demonstration. From that time to the present, dyspepsia, biliousness, intermittent fevers, muson ? lar diseases, nervous complaints and constipation have vanished under tbe operation of the great specific, in at least ninety per cent of the cases in which it has been used as a remedy for those ail? ments; while as a preventive of ali mala? dies generated by change of climate, sudden revulsions of temperature, epi i demic poison iu the atmosphere, and un? wholesome water, its beneficial effects have been so obvious and uniform as to secure the most perfect confidence in its properties as an antidote, safeguard and re.

A New York letter says it is only when the estate of some deceased merchant o r millionaire is brought to the hammer that one ascertains the enormous prices at which the stocks of certain banks and insurance companies in that city are held.
