He has also convoked the Biscay Juntas to meet on the 27th instant, in order to contrast tho attitude of the Corlists with that of the Alfonsists, whose govern? ment, he says, is afraid to summon Jhe Cortes to meet. Vienna, Juno 10.?The Provincial Court has acquitted Weisinger of tho tho charge of attempting to defraud rather-General Bock. In the course of tho trial, Woisingor declared that he was an adherent of Princo Bismarck and tho enemy of Ultramontanes. His sole in? tention was to allure tho Jesuits to ac? quiesce in an effort to assassinate Bis? marck, and thereby give the latter reason for more energetic proceedings against the Catiiolics. He hoped that Bismarck or Schweinitz, the German Ambassador, would reward him for his zeal. Bismarck, before leaving for the country, received the foreign repre6en the peaceful disposition oT Germany. Whatever result the present trial of Ar? nim may have, it is sure to bo ultimately referred to the supremo tribunal, by iq> peal oithcr of the defence or prosecution.

Telograuhic?American News. Wabhinoton, June 15.?Tho Treasury Department has decided to compromise the cases against 'the national .banks on account of their failure to stamp their checks. The reports thus far received from the Bank Examiners show that more than 200 banks are open to prosecution on this account. Tho basis of compro? mise adopted is this: Where the number of unstamped checks is five or less, there is no penalty. Whore tho number of checks range from five to fifty, the penalty is $50. Where from fifty to 100, the penalty is $100. This is a penalty at the rate of $1 for caoh check. Tho Agricultural Department has sta? tistics, carefully collected by responsible persons in tho seven hog leading States, which show that in January last there were in those States, on the hoof, 14, 213,800 bogs. These were divided as follows: Indiana, 2,670,000 head; Illi? nois, 2,034,000 head; Iowa, 3,398,200 head; Missouri, 2,082,600 head; Ohio, 1,734,400 head; Kentucky, 1,706,000 head ; Wisconsin, 587,800 head. It is es? timated that the returns from other States will make the hog crop for this year over 18,000,000 head. Gaevebton, Juno 15.?A special de? spatch from Brownsville gives an ac? count in reference to the fight between Capt. McNeily's detachment of State troops and a band of cattle thieves, below Brownsville, on tho 12th instant, in which twelve ot the raiders were killed. The raiders lost besides eleven horses ? and saddles, and all their arms, consist? ing of pistols and repeating rifles. Pri? vate S. B. Smith, of the State troops, who was killed in tho fight, was buried yesterday. There was a large funeral precession of soldiers and citizens. Capt. McNeily was unable to pursue the raiders under Ricardo Flores, because his horses were brokon down by hard service. . Gen. Cortina is incensed at the killing of his cattlo thieves. Tho Mexi? can papers Bay that the raiders were as? sassinated while asleep. Capt. McNeily says if they wero asleep, he don't want to* find any of them awake. Cortina swears ho will have revenge, and is arm? ing and has been preparing for a fight for more then a week, although he has received peremptory orders to report in ?porson at the City of Mexico. Gen. Feriero left Monterey, this morning, on tho march to Matamoras, with 3,000 men. It is understood that he eomcs to arrest Cortina. It is not known what tho bri? gand chief intends to do, but ho is pre? paring for some development, and will doubtless fight Gen. Feriero if ho thinks ho can whip him. Ho may conclude, however, to cross over to this side of the border line, placo himself at the head of the squatters and lay wasto the country, antLjthen recross to the Mexican side and^fct pardoned by tho Supreme Go? vernment. The troops hero are on the alert, and tho citizens of Brownsville are adopting defensive* measures. No one knows what a day or an hour may bring forth. There is no doubt at all as to the accountability of the Mexican authorities for the enormity of tho outrages perpe? trated by tho Mexicans, and for tho danger now threatening the frontier. Some of the Mexican officials are watch? ing Cortina's movements with anxiety. Should he succeed, more than one of them will bo marched to tho Toguna and shot. They are earnestly trying to put him down, not for what ho has done to Americans, but for what he may do to themselves. Charleston, Juno 16.?Arrived? Steamships Champion, New York; Fanita, Philadelphia; schooner W. II. dishing, Philadelphia. Philadelphia, June 16.?It is under? stood that the agreement between the railroads is for a period of ten years; the tatives and gave each one of companies to agreo upon moderate rates between nil competing points, which will be maintained by both; the contract can only be terminated by a resolution of tho respective hoards, a special committee to be appointed, by caoh board, to whom shall be referred oil motors of difference, if any, that may arisei. -relative to the practical working of - the arrangement, and with power to adjust all complaints between tho tw?i companies. The Penn? sylvania Company opens its lines be? tween Philadelphia and New York to tho Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad on tho same terms tha: they give other connect? ing roads at Philadelphia. This agree? ment, it is believed, will be of a perma? nent character. Baltimore, June 1(5.? The Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad Com? pany, at a special meeting to-day, rati? fied the basis of a settlement as agreed on by President Scott and Yice-Presi dent King, making a single amendment, which it is expected will meet the ap? proval of tho Board of Pennsylvania* Di? rectors. New York, June 16.?At n breakfast Siven to the Charleston Washington light Infantry, yesterday, a letter wan road from Qov. Tilden, expressing regret at his inability to be prjpent and wel? coming them to tho State of New York. This was followed by brief addresses from Gen. Woodward, of the Governor's staff, and from Col. Marshall Lefferts, of the veteran corps of tho Seventh Regi? ment. Somo weeks ago, W. W. Tillotson, Treasurer of Booth's Theatre, was charged before Commissioner Davenport with having violated the provisions of the Civil Bights Bill, in refusing to sell a ticket to Wm. B. Davis, a colored man, and as such not entitled to a seat ?n the thcatro elsewhere than in a portion in the upper part of the house set apart for colored persons. At the time of Tillot son's arrest, his counsel claimed that he had not violatod the law, inasmuch as its prohibition of discrimination as to color did not apply to theatres which were managed simply as private business speculations, subject to such regulations as to admission as their proprietors might deem proporto impose. Tillotson waived an examination and gave bail to await the action of the United States Grand Jury. During the sessions of the Grand Jury, Davis has been before it several times, but failed to impress the jurors that h_e had a case that they wero warranted in entertaining, and they, therefore, presented no bill against Til? lotson. In view of the interest taken in this case, this action of the Grand Jury is important. Washington, June 16.?No new de? velopments in the Hinds trial?for cor? rupting United States officials. The point is raised, that the persons bribed wcro tomponiry clerks and not United States oflicials. ! In view of the water routes throughout the South, tho following is important: Judge Wylic, in the Equity Court, in the first of the Georgetown null cases?that of Bay VS. the Chesapeake and Ohio ' Canal Company?decided that the con j tract of Mr. Bay entitlod him to receive as much water as had been coming to his mill before the canal company un? dertook to make the change; and he made j Eerpetnal the injunction restraining the anal Company from diminishing tho supply of water to Ray's mill and from interfering with the gauge.

Ini>' tVAPOLis, Ind., June 16.?During a heavj rain-storm, yesterday, two men and a woman drove to the Central Hank, when the woman engaged one of the clerks in conversation at the carriage; the two men entered tho bank and began talking with the cashier, who was pre? sently set at work figuring out interest on u large sum which they desired to loan. While the cashier was thus en? gaged, the men slipped into their pockets packages to the amount of from $5,000 to $7,000 and got off with it. No arrests yet. Yesterday's Market Reoorts.

A despatch received from the Black Hills Geological Exploration throws a wet blanket over the nopes of those w ho saw millions of gold in that section. Up to the 9th, no gold had been discovered, and what is worse, tho for nations thus far discovered are of a recent geological age, and "not auriferous." E'urther ex? plorations aro to be made near Harney Creek, and the facts in that case will also be given to the public. As the explor? ing party, at the latest date, were within twenty miles of the place where gold was reported in abundance, and the geo? logical evidences were decidedly adverse to the idea of the existence of this metal, it is not likely that any placers will be struck in tho Black Hills of a paying character. This is bad news for the boys who are <n route for that section. They saw well-tilled purses in the prospective, and were prepared to wipe out the red men and enter into possession of the land that was stocked with gold if it did not run with "milk and honey." These geologists are sail idol breakers, and gold lot speculators had better meet an army with banners than one of this practical class of men. But it is proper that relia? ble evidence in relation to the Black Hills country should be spread bet?re, the people, in order that they may act with j their eyes open on this subject. Growing up to Specie Payment. Our exports of specie from the 1st of January to the 1st of June, were $31,461.000. This is $8.000,01)0 more than for the cor? responding period hist year, and $11, 000.000 more than in the same months in 1870. Thus aro we "growing up" to specie payment by the accelerating flight of our specie. The growing up process by which gold and greenbacks shall ap? proach e ach other in value, is going on also in another way by tho gradual rise of tho gold premium to 17. The Cincin? nati Gazette thinks that at this rat? a smart arithmetician may reckon at what time we shall have grown up to specie payment. There is consolation in this kind of progress that the rise in premium tends to check exportation of gold, and gives us more for it. But while a higher premium is needed to check exports of gold, it is not easy to sec how gold and greenbacks can grow to an equal value, or how we are growing up to specie pay? ment, or how It will be any easier in 1ST!) than it is now. Perhaps the in? crease of paper money by "free banking" may help the growing up. If not, wc may try a fresh issue of greenbacks. But it is likely that the mere fixing of the time will do the business without any growing up. At any rate, our con? gressional financiers thought so. Tho potato bug, whose ravages are so wide-spread, is a hard-shelled striped bug, nearly twice as large as the "lady bug," with a yellow and a black-spotted head, six legs and a yellow and black spotted armor. This curse is a native of Colorado, whence its name of Colorado beetle. It was first seen in 1820, (ceding on a wild potato, but when the settlers introduced the domesticjpotato, the bug attacked it at once It breeds prodigi? ously, tho female laying from 700 to 1,200 eggs, which hatch in about six days, ami immediately begin work, which lasts for nineteen days. Where they are numerous, they devour the whole plant clear down to the ground. They aro decidedly poisonous, and con? sequently barn-yard fowls avoid them. Betsy Yates, a black mother in Norfolk County, Va., last Sunday, got mad with hor child, and stepped "to a well in the yard and let it drop. Tho child was dragged up and buried and the tuothor jailed. The Providence Journal finds a pecu? liar illustration of the old adage, that "shoemakers' wives have to go barefoot," in the experience of Madam Lillic, clair? voyant and fortune-teller, who, having rooms in the building in Beston lately reduced to a ruin by an unaccounted-for explosion, was so badly injured by it? fall that it was necessary to take her to the hospital. It would seem to the un spiritualistio mind, that her controling spirit might have warned their agent of impending danger, an 1 that she who could foretell precisely how many hus? bands or wives, as the case might he, each inquirer would have, and describe the exact shade of their hair and eves, J might have made her power of vaticina? tion of use to herself. The madam is said to have been badly frightened, and one would think not only that she would renounce her claim to prophetic insight, but that the most credulous portion of the public would lose faith in fortuno telling. However, since her employment is a lucrative one, ami numbers of people like to be gulled, it is not probable that her business will be given up, nor her gains diminished. The librarian of Princeton (N. J.) Col? lege is endeavoring to find as complete a collection as possible of books relating to the late civil wars and has sent a circular letter to the alumni of the college who reside in the South, asking for the contri? bution of any documents that will shed light upon the history of the South dur? ing the struggle. All kind of official documents, Confederate, State or muni? cipal; military code, army orders, medi? cal reports, muster roils, newspaper files, speeches, sermons, poetry, pam? phlets of every sort, as well oh narratives of field operations, of local military or? ganizations, of personal adventure, and especially biography, as well as of the undistinguished as of tho most famous; all are desired, whether printed or in manuscript. t It is probably not generally known that the Legislature of New York, at its recent session, passed an Act looking to specie payments by tho banks of that State in 1878. The Act provides that all contracts thereafter, made payable in "dollars," without specifying what kind of dollars, shall be liquidated in United States gold of the standard weight and fineness. It also requires the payment of all taxes in 1878 and afterwards in gold or the notes of specie-paying banks. The Supreme Court of the United States, in a case from Oregon, has decided that the law making notes a legal tender has no reference to taxes imposed by a State, j The question of rejecting such notes as a legal tender for individual taxes, by State authority, may be a doubtful one. j A Shuewd Pleasantut. ?A Paris paper tells how an ingenious wine-shop-keeper has adapted himself to the exigencies of the hour, which demands in everything a spice of politics, hy hanging conspicu? ously a placard in his parlors, inscribed, "Sooner or later ho will return." The Bonapartists look up at it and say, "Ah, ha! that means our boy"?tho young Na- ; polcon. The Orleauists think the allu? sion is to the Count de Paris; the Legiti? mists opine that it can only mean the Count do Chnmbord; whilst the Republi? cans are convinced that it refers to "little Thiers." So all are pleased, and the honest quiz, when questions arc asked, merely smile.:, winks and shrugs his shoulders. "He really meant his zouave j boy on African vcrviee." I They have brought "reform within the i party" to a rather painful climax in Washington. Tho Republican, the Ad? ministration organ, comes with over f>2 large seven-column pages of advertised property for unpaid taxes, and nearly one-fourth of the property-owners of the I "city of magnificent distances" will find themselves homeless in a few days, to illustrate the reformatory achievements I of Grant's rule. The Republican inti I mates that "tho sale of property will 1 bear hard upon delinquents," but it adds, j "that in no other way can governments ! be supported, and the payment of taxes : is one of the onerous duties which ac? companies the many privileges of citi | zenship." In the United States District Court, Charleston, Juno 15, the petition of Jacob E. Snares, of Sumter, for volun? tary bankruptcy, was referred to Regis? trar Seabrook. In the petition f f M. Marks and others for the involuntary bankruptcy of Jacob Apple, a rule was issued for the debtor to show cause, on the Oth of July next, why ho should not be adjudged a bankrupt. J. N. Steele, of the firm of Steele A Jones, of York County, was adjudged a bankrupt. L. D. McMakin and John E. Savage, of \ Greenville, were finally discharged in i bankruptcy. Within the past five years there have ' been built and put into operation a j number of narrow-gauge roads in this I country of thirty-six inches, and two in Canada of forty-two inches. A striking and conclusive fact about these roads, according to the Chicago Raihoqu Review, is that not one of those in full operation at the date of the panic has gone into j bankruptcy, and that every one has ? promptly paid its interest obligations from net earnings, and had loft some surplus to the credit of income account. An exchange lets off tho following on delinquent subscribers: "Looking over an old ledger, wo soc a long array of names of former subscribers who are in? debted to us. Somo of them have moved away and are lost to sight, although to mcmoryjpear. Others are carrying the contribution boxes in our most respecta? ble churches, and others again are angels in Heaven; but they owe us just the same." Mr. John Shillito and Mr. Thomas Crawford, woll known citizens of Abbe? ville, died lost week. The bankers of the United State? meet in Philadelphia, on the 24th of Jane, instant, for the purpose of organizing a National Centennial Bankers' Associa? tion. They propose to have a depart? ment in which thoy wiU exhibit coins and notes of-the country from the date of its settlement to the present time, and specimens of all coins since civiliza? tion. Honey and Death.?A couple of ne? gro men were killed by a falling limb in the woods near Greenwood, on last Fri? day night. They had gone out to cut down a bee tree, expecting to get a load of honey. The tree was fulled and a rur.h made for the honey. While the negroes were hard at work, a limb of the tree, which had broken off and lodged, fell upon them and killed them. [Abbeville Medium. Hon. John C. New, who will shortly succeed Gen. Spinner as Treasurer of the United States, has declined a public, dinner at Indianapolis, because he is yet untried in the duties of his new position, and would rather have something to show in the way of public business be? fore he goes to banqueting. Mr. New is an exception extraordinary to the pre? sent race of public men. Mr. Lewis Maheffey, who lived near Goodgions' factory, Laurons County, while engaged in repairing an agricultu? ral implement on Friday last, fell across a pile of lumber and received internal injuries, from which he died during the night. He was about sixty-five years old and highly respected by his many friends. The philanthropists are subscribing liberally to the fund for a ten-acre idiot asylum in Calif*rnia. Tho solicitor goes up to a philanthropist and savs, "How do ye do, my good nianV" Then he reads the California Republican platform to him, and the philanthropist, with an "Ah, I sec?I see," cheerfully puts down $000. Frank Palmer, editor-in-chief of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, has been made a member of the commission to treat with the Indians for the Block Hills. If the expedition wants any Indian outrages manufactured in transitu, Mr. Palmer is their man. He is the miller-in-ohief of the Southern outrage grist. United States Marshal W. D. Jenkins and Wm. D. Street, scout and guide, had a desperate flght, a few days Bince, with a band of Cheyennes in Rawlins Connty, Kansas, and succeeded in driving them off after killing seven of their number. The removal of Governor Axtell from Utah gives the Mormons much uneasi? ness. They arc afraid thot Emory, the new appointee, will exhibit anti-Mormon proclivities, and make war on polygamy. This is probably the fact. A man who went to Europe last fall to escape the Bcecher trial, burst into tears on his return to New York this week, when he heard at the wharf that it was still in progress. A destructive storm of wind and rain passed over Sumtcr County, on the 12th. Houses and fences were demolished and limbs of trees went flying through the air. No lives lost. A colored minister in Abbeville, who had been Beecherizing, submitted to a severe whipping from his parishioners and then left the country, rather than submit to a trial. A party of colored boys at Hodges de? liberately stoned a young companion to death, a few days ago, in imitation of Stephen.
