COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, July 4, 1875. An Eastorn War Cloud. Tbc relations between the English Government and the King of Burundi ure still unsettled. The news is so fluctuating and uncertain that it is bard to tell what is the exact state of affairs between the two countries. One day, war is declared to bo inevitable. The next all the clouds are reported to be dissipated, and the sun of peace shines over both countries in full meridian splendor. It is very certain, however, that there is no lasting harmony be? tween tho two nations, although war is not desirable just now in Asia, and England especially does not want to fire u gun which, before the contest is closed, may be replied to by Kassian batteries. The unpleasantness arises from two causes?disputed jurisdiction over a small strip of territory lying bo-' twecn tho kingdom of Burmah and Bri? tish Burmab, and from tho geographical position of the former kingdom, which separates British Burmah from the Chi? nese empire. Recently a British expedi? tion en route from India to the point of beginning for a commercial route to China was attacked by the Chinese forces nnd its leader murdered. An at? tempt was mado to arrest tho murderer, but ho was protected and defended by tho authorities of Burmah. No cxplana . lion or apology was given, and that is the open wound that still irritates and rankles in tho minds of tho British offi? cials. The kingdom of Burmah is not such a weak-handed opponent as is generally supposed. It has a population of 1,000, 000, and tho peoplo aro tho most intel? lectual in that portion of India. Por? tions of its territory wero easily dismem? bered by tho British in 182G, and again in 1852, but within tho last ten years Burmah has paid great attention to mili? tary matters. Her forces have been in? creased and tho troops supplied with new stylo European arms and officered by Austrian and Polish generals. The contest, if one take place at the present time, will, therefore, not be quite one? sided, and tho natives of British Bur? mah may possibly sido with their dusky brethren and thus place tho English be? tween two fires. It is important that England should have permission to cross Burmah into China at this time, when Russia is beginning a now series of ope? rations on tho Amoor River, and it can bo secured in no other way. The trouble umy end by tho whole of Burmah falling1 into the hands of England, and being incorporated with her Indian posses? sions. The Beecher-Tilton scandal case has terminated in a mis-trial and tho jury has been discharged. The statement is made that the vote stood three for con? viction and nine for acquittal. Under ull the circumstances, this result must be considered a victory for tho plaintiff, and Mr. Beocher has virtually been for ad guilty of the ofl'enco with which he was charged. Loeder is to be tried for perjury, and Moniten defies the Beeeherites to indict him. In fact, he courts it.

Editob: Friday we had a plea? sant entortainment at the close of tho year of Btndy at tho Ursulino Institute, in the usual way, and tho Convent pu? pils proved that they had been students, not in name only. Misses Daisy and Nell Aldrich, Lilly Lynch and Mary Olarko distinguished themselves in mu? sic on piano, guitar and harp. Many other names were often mentioned with honor in their respective classes. Tho pencilings and paintings which hung upon the walls testified to fino tasto and culture, and tho various specimens of needle-work showed talent and industry, proving thero were few hours of idleness spent by the young ladies during tho past year. The system of education given m the Convent is very thorough, em bmoiug, with the curriculum of studies usual in a first class institute, those les? sons of domestic economy so nccossary to homo comfort and health. The grounds surrounding tho Convent are spacious, and afford ample room for open air exercise, which, judging from the tine and healthful appearance of the stu? dents, they know well how to enjov. J. L. Loeder as a 13LACK.MAir.mi.?The Bos? ton lilubc prints a letter from Mr. W. H. Morey, a gentleman of standing in that city, concerning Loeder, whoso recent affidavit is made public after the closo of the caso for tho defendant in theBeechor- j Tilton case. Mr. Morey writes that he knows Loeder too well, and continues: "During tho year 18(58, Mr. Joseph Loed? er canic to Boston and established a small upholstery store in one of our principal streets, and for six months did a moderate business. He was a good workman himself, and his employees wero also good and apparently under? stood their trade. About this time a lady, living and moving in tho best South-end society, wanted something | done to her lambrequins, sent for Loeder, 1 she having previously heard qf him and 1 his expertness in the trade through a friend of hers. Mr. Loeder came, esti? mated the probable cost, and set the day on which he should call for them. Every? thing so far was perfectly satisfactory. Meanwhile this yonn^ lady's brother, who had been absent for many years, unexpectedly returned, and on tho very day, as it happened, that Mr. Loeder was to call for the curtains. Of course ho saw thoir affectionate embraces, for this brother had always loved his sister, and she was rather demonstrative in her actions toward him, since she had not seen him for many years. The curtains wore finally repaired, and Mr. Loeder received his pay, and for three days no? thing was heard of him. At tho expira? tion of that time a lotter como directed to this lady, and was postmarked Boston. On opening it, and glancing at tho sig? nature, sho was greatly surprised to see Mr. Loeder's name. The letter run thus: My Respected Mrs. M. W.?Dear Madame: You will feel surprised in hearing from mo again, particularly through a letter. Nevertheless I feel it my duty in calling your attention to the fact that while working at your house I noticed many unladylike demonstrations on your part toward that gentleman. I thought it very improper at tho time, especially as you were a married lady. Unkind as it may appear, I fool it my duty to warn your husband, unless you immediately iucloso $100 to my address. JOSEPH LOEDER. The letter, being shown to tho hus? band and brother, nearly caused Mr. Loeder to get the top of his head shot off, but finally both gentlemen were per? suaded to a milder course. Mr. Loeder was visited, told how wrong ho was, made to retract his unjust accusation and finally to leave the city for good. Sunday. -The following ordinance, wo are requested by Chiof Nixon to say, will be rigidly enforced hereafter: an ordinance for the better observance of the saddatii day. Section 1, lie it ordained by the Mayor ntul Aldermen of the City of Columbia, in Council assembled, That from and after tho passage and promulgation of this or? dinance, any merchant, shop-keeper or vender of * wine, spirituous or malt liquor in any quantity, either under a tavern or retail license, who shall keep his, her or their store, shop, bar-room or saloon open for tho transaction of busi? ness on tho Sabbath day, shall be sub? ject to a penalty of not more than forty five dollars, nor less than twenty dollars, at the discretion of the City Conneil of Columbia, for each and every violation of this ordinnncc. Sec. 2. And be it further ordained, That ' any person who shall publicly work or labor, or employ any other person to do so, on the Sabbath day, (except in casus of emergency,) ?hall be subject to a penalty of ten dollars for each and every offence. Tho Washington Chronicle takes conso? lation in anything that comes handy: "That tho Republican party needed a sudden rousing to drag it forth from its fancied security, no honest-minded Re? publican will deny; and that there is a tidal wave setting in tho opposito direc? tion, howovor, is plainly ovinccd by the rocent elootion in some of tho Eastern States, and although wo cannot as a party expect to regain atono grand strido the ground wo havo in our apathy lost, we nave at least learned ono salutary lesson, that we have a wily foo to deal with?ono Whoso vigilance is tho most commendable trait in his character, and who will make a desperate fight to main? tain his hold upon his hardly gained position." Mr. Henry T. Crumpton died of Bright's disease, at his residence near Ridgeway, last Monday. Mr. C. was about fifty years of ago at tho time of his death. Spartanburg will shortly havo gas works. The Recent Convention in New Yoke?Advance of Freights.?In pursu? ance of a call made by tho New Y'ork commission the 10th of June, inviting the managers of railroads and steamship lines interested in Southern and South? western business to meet tbat commis? sion in Now Y'ork, on the 22d of June, in order to devise methods for the adjust? ment and maintenance of rates, a num? ber of persons interested met the com? mission at tho office of W. R. Garrison, chairman, fi Howling Green, on that day. R. R. Bridgcrs and A. Pope represent? ed the Atlantic Coast Line; Geo. W. Qnintard and II. Hasel I the Great South? ern Freight. Line via Charleston; Henry Fink and C. E. Evans the Virginia and Tennessee Air Line and Great Southern Despatch and Old Dominion Steamship Company; J. N. DeBarry, V. M. K. Tal cott and Sol. Haas the Piedmont Air Line; Virgil Powers, Wm. Rogers and Geo. Yonge the Great Southern Freight Line via Savannah; W. L. James the Philadelphia and Southern Mail Steam? ship Company, and W. P. Clyde the Clyde A Co. 'steamship Lines. U. R. Bridgcrs was appointed Chairman, and Geo. Yonge Secretary. It was stated that the rates were being gem rally cut, and it was desirable to establish rates that would be maintained. A sub? committee was appointed to report rates for the action of the convention. The sub-committee reported a resolu? tion that with concurrent action of the Green Line and all comp? ting lines, they recommend the adoption of the tariff and classification cd' May 12, ltt73, from all Eastern cities to Chattanooga, Tenn., and to all competing points in the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama. On motion of Mr. Fink, it was agreed that the Boston rates of August 20, 1874, be adopted to Columbia and Augusta, and that Charlotte rates be made the same as to Columbia and Augusta. Resolutions were offered and adopted as follows: By J. N. DcBurry, that the acceptance of the rates be conditioned upon the action of each of the railroad companies and steamship lines compet? ing for business agreeing to maintain tho same in good faith, and in the event of any lino declining to protect these rates, then the other Hues to take such discriminative action as will protect the same. By Gen. W. L. James, that all deviations, whether by drawbacks or failure of any of the lines represented to prevent tho uso of combined locals, shall not be permitted without the au? thority of said commissioners. Another meeting was held at the St. Nicholas Hotel on Thursday, the 24th, at which S. L. Fremont and C. H. Roberts represented the Carolina Central Rail? road, and M. H. Smith the Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern or Green Lino. It was agreed to ndopt the follow? ing rates until amended by future con? ventions: To all points beyond Augusta the rates and classification of May 12, 1873, with the exceptions adopted April 10, 1875; to Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, the Augusta rates of the Boston convention, August 20, 1871, and similar classification as beyond Augusta; that no agreeing line shall disturb these rates, but shall report violations or evasions to the New York commission for its action; the agreement to be binding until one different bo entered into in the general convention, to meet under the call of the Hon. Joseph E. Brown, President of At? lanta convention of January 30, 1K75: the rates adopted by the convention to take effect at onco by the lines repre? sented, and by the Louisville line July 1. Each line is to name a representative to act in the interval between tho meet? ings of thi; general convention. The meeting adjourned to meet in Atlanta on tho 30th ultimo, to arrange a settlement with the Carolina Uailroad, which was not represented in the New York con? vention. The rates from Baltimore under the new schedule, which goes into effect to? day, for the six classes of goods, are to Charlotte, Columbia or Augusta, first class, including dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes, &.C., SI.05; second cla*s, 00 cents; third, 75 cents; fourth, 70 cents; fifth, 55 cunts, and sixth, including flotir, bacon, sugar, molasses, Sea., 40 cents. Macon and Augusta, SI.00, $1.30, $1, 85 cents, 75 cents and 55 cents. It is diffi? cult to determine what have been the lowest rates at which freight to those points has been taken during the war between the lines, which has been waged since last February. During tho deliberations in New York, Moncuro Robinson, Wm. T. Walters and B. F. Newcomor, of Baltimore, were pre? sent, in the interest of the Atlantic Coast Line, which extends from Baltimore, to Augushi and beyond, including tho Old Bay Line, tho Seaboard and Roanoke, Wilmington and Weldon, and Wilming? ton, Columbia and Augusta Railroads, and has also a connection in the Balti? more and Wilmington Steamship Line. The Piedmont Air Line includes the Baltimore and York River and Powhatan Steamship Lines, connecting with tho Pennsylvania Company's Southern rail? road system. All of the. lines out of Bal? timore, oxcopt that to Charleston, were represented in Now York. CnuEi/rr to Animals.?Tho effect of the recent organization of the society for tho prevention of cruelty to animals, in Charleston, shows itself in tho interest manifested everywhere in its success. Orders havo been issued by the City Railway Company that no more than a specified number of possongers will bo allowed on each car^ To those who have witnessed with pain tho struggling of the street-car horses with a load of fifty or sixty passengers, this reform will be hailed with pleasure. Tho story of the flood in France loses nothing in tho telling. . Tho number of pooplo drowned in Toulonse alone is now put down at 2,000. We do not re? coil any calamity in modern times that will compare with this. City Items.?To-day being the 4th of July, a general observance will be had to-morrow, the 5tb. Therefore, no paper will be issued from this office on Tues? day. What the girls say: "A thing of beauty is a boy forever." Now that the commencements are over, what' Deaths in Columbia for the week end? ing July ", 5?whites 2; colored :). The weather has been cooler since the rain, and dust is down for awhile. Tuesday, Judge Carpenter will con? vene the Court of General Sessions in extra session. The rain of Friday night was hailed with delight by planters, gardeners and city folk. We learn that there was a heavy fall of hail about seven miles above Columbia, Friday night. Those partly made dress shirts at Win. 1). Love & Co.'s are the cheapest gar? ments of the kind ever offered -only ?15 a dozen. The suspension of the South Carolina Uank and Trust Company, we learn, will not affect the other hanking houses in this city. The adjourned meeting of the Pho-nix Axe, Hook and Ladder Company will be held Wednesday evening, the 7th, in? stead of Monday, the 5th. Wm. D. Love A- Co. have concluded to continue their bargain counter all next week, commencing on Tuesday, the U?th instant. Mr. W. II. Gibbes has been appointed by tho Citizens' Committee of Twenty live to make collections from the citizens to pay the expe nse of litigation with the City Council. Mr. J. II. Altec's horse run off with his wagon, yesterday, about the time the storm came up. The wagon was turned over, the springs broken, and the horse slightly injured. Terrific results from the "thunderbolt" will be felt this week?wc mean the one Perry & Slawson advertise. We think all their new cigars are entitled to this name, from the manner in which they have struck every smoker's fancy. The tilling in the old well in front of the store of F. Ii. Orchard it Co. sunk several feet during the storm yesterday. This is a dangerous spot, and the city authorities should see to it that the co? vering be made substantial and perma? nent. The active and contributing members of the Richland Rifle Club will meet promptly at the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad depot, at 5 P.M., to? day- - active members in full uniform, with arms, accoutrements, epaulettes< and gloves. The roll will be called at 5 promptly. Whoever is needing goods for their families, should visit the store of Wm. 1). Love .t Co. all next week. They are almost giving their goods away. Killed.? A colored girl, about twelve years of age, was killed on the South Carolina Railroad, near Kingville, on Friday last, by being run over by the train. We learn that the girl was idiotic, and had been in the habit of playing and walking on the track, near which she lived. Those in charge of the train are exempt from condemnation, as it was impossible to avert the casualty. This is another lesson to parents who permit their children to frequent railroad tracks and depots. Stoum.?A tcrriffic storm passed over Columbia about 7 o'clock, last evening. The Hashes of lightning and peals of thunder followed each other in rapid succession, ami was blinding and deaf? ening. The rain fell in torrents for twenty or thirty minutes, and continued in a light fall until late in the evening. Tho close, warm morning was considered tho forerunner of a storm. The light? ning is belived to have done some da? mage in the vicinity of the city, but we have not heard positively. The store of Mr. J. Meighan was injured by the storm, and the rain poured in, but no damage was sustained to the stock. - ? * Ho! ron Augusta.?The Richland Rifle Club will leave Columbia, this evening, at 5.1 o'clock, and will arrive in Augusta at 10 P.
