He is fourteen years of age, and his mother thinks he will yet be King of | Spain. -The Ottawa correspondent of the New York Express says the case of the schooner Horton, which was stolen by Gloncester fish? ermen, is simply regarded as a violation of the customs regulations. -During three weeks of October, nine hun? dred and lorty-two cases and one hundred and fifty-one deaths took place in Philadelphia front small-pox.

Donnar, J. H. Ransom and Samuel E. Collins, who has for a longtime been successfully operating throughout the country, altering and lorglng checks. He has been identified by several victims. -The proceedings against the Mormons turn out to be a farce. Judge McEean's in? structions regarding the trials now progress- ? lng in Utah are to simply record his Judgments against the peculiar institution ol the Saints, but not force them if the people make any de? termined resistance. -A New York letter notes that A. T. Stewart A Co. advertise more at pr?sent than iormer ]y. They are becoming thoroughly convinced of the importance ot the printed column as well as that of plate glass and fine arcbltec-, ture.- Readers of the New York city papers Will notice a vast Improvement In Stewart's column as well as an Increase in its extent. -We have already noticed the Identifica? tion of the body found in the East River, New York, as that of young Pryor, son of Roger A. Pryor. It Is not known in what manner he came to his death, and prehaps the mystery may never be cleared up. ecullar sadness attaches to ibis severe domestic affliction in the bright promise of the manner and loveable character of this young* man. He had but a little more than a year ago grad na tod at Princeton with higher honors Iban bad ever before been won in that institution by the most distinguished of lis Alumni. The inter? vening period has been spent by bim in a j great, part at Cambridge, In England, where ne won a prize in mathematics. A few months ago he returned to the United States, and has since been prosecuting the study of law in the office of his father. -Mr. Blond?n seems determined to invent a feat in his rope-walking which shall finish him i j at last. At a late performance to be given at the Crystal Palace at Sydenham-lt had not come off by last accounts-the tall masts that support the rope were to be covered with tire works from the ground to the top. When all these wire well going, Blondin was to walk forth on the rope bearing a great piece ol pyro- j techny "weighing- about three hundred pounds," which he would forthwith proceed to discharge from "the altitude in the centre of the rope." At the same time shells and mines were to be exploded In every direction, and the advertisement announces with much gusto that Blondin "will thus be encircled with fire for nearly ten minute?." This will doubtless prove a charming spectacle to all who like lo see a man killed. -The New York Journal of Commerce says that that city has "the finest fire department in the world, not excepting that of London, and of Paris under the Empire." The depart? ment in New York is one that, by long ex? perience of the workings cf a paid system, has been brought to a high state of efficiency, although"probably this has been accomplished at a heavier cost than might have been the case elsewhere. Its adoption has secured several advantages which are plainly visible to all classes. The rush of vast crowds to ?res, niling up the streets and impeding the opera? tions of the drem en, h as been done away with. The men themselves work with energy and skill. There ls not such a reckless waste ol water as heretofore, and, in connection with the insurance patrol, the exertions to save goods and protect property from injury meet with marked success. It 1B gratifying also to note the diminution in the number ol fires. -A Washington telegram of Sunday night to the Ballimore Sun, says: "The advices to thu Department ol Justice indica-e that the work ol military arrests in the martial law district of South Carolina ha's not been fully inaugu? rated, though many persons whose imprison? ment has been threatened are leaving that section. A letter has been received here, signed by the radical State senator Irom Marlou County, protesting against that county bein? Included in the presidential proclamation, on the ground that lt is in a stute ol profouud peace and quiet, and has uever been disturbed by the so called Ku-Klux organization. This official answers thal Marlon County ls Included by ka typographical error or other mistake' in the proclamation. But it is he who ls mis? taken In that particular. Marion County was reported lo the President by the Ku-Klux com? mittee and the United States officials as beiDg In the insunectionary district, and th? denial of the lad by such an authoritative tom ce creates no little surprise among officials. The appeal to exclude Marlon County from the martial law quarter will not be heeded." -It would be amusing, if it were not BJBO saddening, to peruse the advertising columns ol the Chicago papers at the present time. Nothing like it has ever been seen before, and it is to be hoped nothing like it will ever be seen hereafter. All the advertisements are in reality just so many expressions ol grief, un? certainty and penury. A few in the Tribune begin as follows: "Wanted to Und, Swedish girl Sophie, formerly living in my family;" "A lost cow can be found at,"' Ac; "Two stray trunks can be heard from at," A-c: "Taken out of the flames, a dark bay mare;"' "Ten dol? lars reward, and no questions asked, for a pall full of dental instruments taken lrom," ?fcc; "If the gray-whiskered man who was seen re? moving from," &c; "Mr.-, please call at -, and get your boy 'Georgie;' " "Mr.-, go to No. -; your father is there." "Agnes -will find her father at -." And so on lor two long, closely printed columns. There are also a number of "Missing" notices, and a column of the very flneBt type is devoted to a record of those who are "Lost and Found." The whole city is more like a vast intelligence office than anything thing else just now. The Tools of Despotism. Any one would suppose that the thousands of negroes who, according to President Grant j and Senator Scott, have been whipped and maimed in South Carolina, would have been able to 6apply enough affidavits to convict the so-called Ku-Klux. In these cases a little evidence will go a great way. Suspi? cion is sufficient proof, where the accused are condemned before they ore tried. Strange to say, however, the revelations of the vic? tims did not reach as far as was desired, and the government resorted to that old device of despotism-the use of paid spies aid informers. Governor Scott, in his interview with a Herald reporter, gleefully announced that "the Ku-Klux organization embraces those who claim to be the best citizens of South Carolina," whose names are known to "the government agents and "spies, who for several months have been em "ployed ir the disaffected counties." And "I presume," said the Governor- "that the "arrests now taking place are based on the | ''information so obtained." There can be no mistake here. The victims, if they implica? ted any one, did not touch the bigger fish whom the Ku-Klux drag-net was intended lo hold. A large sam of secret-service money was sent down to South Carolina, and a small army of paid spies and informers was soon ready for action. They have been at work "for several months;" hiding behind doors, lurking under windows, violating the privacy of private conversation and the sa? credness of social intercourse. And what manner of men will accept an employment so contemptible and eo base ? Tboy must J be and are the lowest of the low. Their work is one which honest citizens regard with mingled aversion and dread. These know that just this system of political detectives flourishes in despotic Russia, and was full-blown in Imperial France. They know that these mouchards, whose trade is treachery, who receive their thirty pieces every time they betray their friend, are the convenient tools of the Napoleons and the Alexanders of the centuries. These spies and informers will manufacture crime to order. They lio by rule, and boast of their own debasement. Than a system of espionnage, nothing is more revolting to the English-speaking nations of the earth. They treat it as in? compatible with free government and popu? lar liberty. Again and again, have the giant States of the North and West con? demned and denounced the very poli? cy which President Grant now uses for the ruin of the Commonwealth of South Carolina. It is charged that the unfortunates who hive been arrested in this State are guilty of conspiracy against the Government of the United States. That Government, with its Ka-Klnx bills, paid spies and arbitrary arrests, is guilty of con? spiracy against the existence of the Ameri? can Republic ! That Lying Proclamation. Chester ls one of the counties in which, icVordingto President Grant, unlawful com? binations and conspiracies obstruct and binder the execution of the laws of the State. Phis is the pretext of the proclamation de? priving Chester of tho protection of the great writ of habeas corpus. Now, what is the truth ? On Monday week, the October term of the Circuii. Court began its sitting as usual, at Chester, and has continued to sit without let or hindrance. Nor were the alleged Ku-Klux outrages passed over in Bilence. The grand jury consists or six whites and six blacks, and Judge Thomas, (according to t ie Chester Reporter) after instructing them io regard to the bills of indictment submitted by the Solicitor, called their attention to the receut proclamation of the President of the United States, aud urged them, by every consideration of fidelity to their oaths, if they kuew of any outrages that had been committed, to inquire into them and make a full presentment thereof to the court. He warned every man of them, that it was his sworn duty, if he had any information whatever in regard to such cases, to lay it before the jury ; or, if he knew the name of any person who could give information in reference to the alleged outrages, that it was equally h?3 duty to give the name of such person to the jury, so that he might be summoned beforo them and required to testify. He knew of no witnesses that he could send before them who bad any information that would throw any light upon their investigations ; he had tio knowledge himself of any obstruction of | the laws, nor did be know of any ono who possessed sucii knowledge except, perhaps, President Grant : and while he would lie glad to have tho President before them so that they might be enlightened as to when and by whom the execution of Ihe law3 had been obstructed iu this county, it was impossible that his presence could be secured. And when the grand jury came into court for the purpose of re? turning some bills of indictment that had been submitted to them by the solicitor. Judge Thomas took occasion again to urge upon them the importance cf making a searching investigation of all t^e violations of law that were alleged to have been com? mitted in the county, and suggested to them thc propriety of sending a committee to wail upon thc commanding officer of the post to get any information that might be in his possession, iu Oidvr that ihty might I thereby be enabled to have partlee brought before tbem to testify and make present? ments thereon of all violators of the law. These facts, which cannot be controvert? ed, demonstrate, if demonstration were needed, that, ao far as it relates to the County of Chester, the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is without palliation or excuse. The statement that the execu? tion of the laws is hindered, or obstructed, in Chester is unequivocally false ! The Stringency in the Money Market. The London Economist gives an explana? tion of the way in which the money market is disturbed by the dealings of the German Government with tht money drawn from France in payment of the indemnity. The writer says he has inquired into the matter "on the spot," and the resalt is this: It is estimated that the German Government has received from France and holds $25,000,000 in English gold and $75,000,000 in French gold. This enormous 6nm it keeps, it ?B supposed, for the purpose of paying off a five per cent, debt falling due at the end ol the year. It does not desire needlessly to withdraw so large a quantity of coin from circulation, and oilers to lend it at three and a half per cent, bat it asks for security Bach as few are willing to give, and the loan, with such security and at such rates, bas no at? tractions for the German banks, so the money lies in the treasury. A large sum has also been received from the French in silver five-franc pieces, but these do not go into circulation either, because the branch bank of Berlin at Frankfort, acting under govern? ment ordere, has refused to receive them at ] the conventional rates of 2 gulden 20 kreut? zers, at which tbey have always hitherto passed. It is estimated that about $15, 000,000 are in thi3 way kept lying idle, and the Frankfort and other banks which count? ed on it as part of their reserve have been compelled to raise the rate of interest. The object of the government in throwing this large quantity of silver ont of currency is not very apparent, but it is supposed to have some connection with the contemplated plan, of which the Emperor has spoken in his recent speech to the Reichsratb, of a re? form in German coinage. The Berlin Gov? ernment contemplates a cbaDge not only from a silver to a gold currency, but the establishment of a uniform basie for the coinage of the whole Empire. In the mean? time, the locking np of the money, is pro? ducing keen pressure in the money markets of Europe, and particularly in London, where the French have borrowed a consid? erable portion of the indemnity. The Rascally Scheme of tbe Ring-A Republican View. [Prom tbe Columbia Union, October 34.] We learn from the Charleston papers that an effort is being made by the defeated can? didates at the late municipal election to con? test the seat of Mayor Wagener. Perhaps we are not BO well Informed upon the subject as some of those now at work in thlB questionable business, for we confess that this 1B the first intimation which we have had that the election was not fairly and honestly conducted. If there was fraud used at the late election, why was it kept eecret until this late day ? Why was there not some showing made at the time, if the election was not fairly conduoted ? It looks to us very Uko an effort on the part of fairly defeated candidates-so far as we know-to prolong their lease office. If this be so, those engaged .In the operation will find that their action will not be sanctioned by that portion of the Republi? can parly which believes In the will of the people as being the highest law.
