VOLUME IX.-NUMBER 2100. CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 8, J872. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE TOICE OF THE PEOPLE. TOWN TALK ABOUT THE HOBSON'8 CHOICE COUNTY TICKET. Aa Anomnloni State of A*Tair?- Tho Power of" the Conservatives-A Ucarty Endorsement of l'hc New?-Let tb? PeopleSpeak Oat-Kind Woi.n About BOB em on and Adara?. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Toa have given most excellent advice in your Saturday's issne, and 1 hope the ticket yon promise to present will have been duly collated from the most deserving aud trust? worthy of the candidates on boin. Republican lists. The only safety that can be promised may be reached by that selection. An anomalous state of affairs ls upon os. The.Conservatives have the power ot elect? ing whom they please (among those whom they do not please) to elect. They cannot for?a a change, bnt they can compel the best men to meet them half way. Let me suggest be not too beaty in submitting a ticket. Let the arrangements be brought about gradually. The Cc2*ervatlves must bear in mind tbat the best material will sift itself out. Most of the candidates are obscure and not known to the Conservative public. Circum? stances have prevented a knowledge of the character of the individuals. Let those who are acquainted with them publish all the good and bad they know. I will set an example that should be duplicated many times in the public prints before the day of election. One candidate, whom I can recommend to the consideration of the Conservatives, ls Dr. B. A, Bosemon. He Is a physician, who has the family practice o? the most influential and respectable members of the colored popula? tion in the city. A graduate of a Northern college, he' bas acquired considerable polish, and an amount of information which he can communicate In a very agreeable way. His con? servative efforts In the last Legislature, where be and bis able coadjutor. Frost, (since dead,) so often stemmed the t'de of corruption, are well known to all onr taxpayers. Another candidate worthy of consideration by the Conservatives Is the Rev. E. J. Adams. He ie the minister ot the George street Church, and a bard-working Christian, too. He bas labored in missionary fields for many years. Ia the wilds of Africa he has born the Cross, and he has planted It here among his black brethren. His character is unimpeachable, his deportment modest, and his proclivities highly refined. He ls well educated, and bas at command a persuasive and lucid eloquence that, from constant habit, can easily direct the thoughtless and impetuous in their Judg? ments. So mnoh for the good I know ot these men. AB for the bad, let those who ''know the things whereof they speak," out with lt. , PRO BONO PUBLICO. THE LAW OF NATURAL SELECTION *\ '_ A Wise Athenian Law-Let as.Sift oat the Ergot from the Wheat- Goa tin wad Selection will Brina; tn? Plaat to Perfection. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. As a citizen ot the State I bave a vote, and aa a good citizen I ought to dispose ol lt tor the good of the State. The Athenlang com? pelled every citizen to cast bis shell Into the ballot-box. They reasoned that lt forced the timorous to balance the aggressive, and ibu s prevented tyranny, which ls ever on the alert to clo tc b the loosened reins of power. Fortu? nate would It DB for us did such a law exist in Sooth Carolina. The brightest sword will rast if not osod. It'may finally refuse to leave the scabbard io self-defence. Politics is a trade that requires success to be a trade. No man works without a hope of recompense, bot did he not work he would starve. A iaw Ot nature compels him to work. A law of society should compel us to vote. Can we gain any th lng by voting ? Tea. We can sift out the ergot from .the wheat, and destroy th? weevil. Bom? ot the wildest plants become esculent under cultivation. Selection from the best of even th? poorest breeds will develop finally a good one, and continued selection, with occa? sional Intercalation of a better breed, will bring it to perfection. Stoold the farmer walt for Importation (that may never come) for the improvement of bis .tock * Would we have ever raised the best cotton In the world Ii we had folded our hands end looked to chance for Its coming ? Cer? tainly not! "Let ns then be up and doing With a heart for every fate, Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to walt i" ; ._ CITIZEN. THE FEELING IN THE CITY. A Tonr or Observation by The News Reporters-Views of Robson's Choice from all Point? of the Compasa. There have been but few events in Ute re? cent history of local politics that have created so decided a sensation in this city as the an? nouncement by TUE NEWS, of yesterday, of lt? recommendations ("Hobson's Choice") for county and legislative offices irom among the ranks of the Radical nominees. The subject was in every?jody'B mouth, and lt was dis? cussed in every style of commendation and condemnation that could be conceived. By a very large class of practical, intelligent and fair-minded citizens, the suggestions ot THE NEWS were received with unmistakable satis? faction, as affording a sensible and feasible method or securing at least partial relief irom the evils of mal administration under which the county ls now laboring, and the gentlemen who took that view of the subject, and who constitute, BO far as could be ascertained, the vast majority of the white citizens of Charleston, pledged their united rapport to "Hobson's Choice," and expressed their earnest desire tor its success os the lesser of the two political evils that confront us. Another class of respectable Conserva? tive citizens differed materially from the views advanced and the conclusions arrived at by Tax NEWS. Of these, a large number who ap? peared to be taken by surprise by the propo? sition, were extremely cautious In their ex? pression of opinion, and refused to commit themselves either lor or against the ticket known aa Hobson's Choice, except by Baying, with various deprees of polite and impolite emphasis, tbat "it was a-shame that elx thousand Conservative votera in a county could not do something better than picking ont the best of two gangs of thieves." There was one more class of Conservative gentlemen who took strenuous exeeptions to the judg? ment expressed by THE NEWS, but whose ob? jections seemed based upon the expectation that if a "straight-out" ticket were to be put 'out by the Conservatives they would them? selves be among the nominees and would re ceive at least the benefit that snch a comp ment would carry with lt. Thia class w larger than might, at the first thought, 1 supposed, and although lt has been fashion ble of late yeais to revile and ridicule tl Intense love for political preferment manlfee ed by the newly-created Radical votera ot 01 community, lt must be confessed that tl same amiable weakneas la extremely prev lent among their betters, and that for almo any office In the glit of the people there are I be found plenty of Intelligent Conservati' gentlemen who are quite eelf-sacriflclr enough to accept of nominations. t There was one class of people, howeve discovered by the active reporters o? TE NEWS In their perambulations yesterday, wt were intensely exercised over the editor! course which had been adopted by this pape Those of the other classes of cltlzeus who di approved ot the course of THE NEWS expr?s ed their objections in language which waa s least rational and gentlemanly, and In a BI ber, sensible and argumentative manner; bi tho class of objectors now referred to appeal ed In a frame ol mind bordering on frenzj and would have, or did have, nothing to sa ot the merila of the question except the mo; vehement and vigorous objurgations of Te NEWS, the Hobson's Choice ticket, and the Con servatlves generally. This Claas, aa may natui ally be Inferred, was composed of th men on both the Mackey and Bowel tickets who had not discovered their name upon the ticket of Hobson's Choice. The: were absolutely wild. Their imprecations ant anathemas were both loud and deep, theil howls were deafening, and their gesticulation! were like thewrlthlngs ot the Voudoo der vishis. They unanimously refused to be ln< tervlewed, but they made no pretence ot con ceallng their rage aud mortification. One ol the reporters ot THE NEWS was simultaneously buttonholed by three 8" ~h politicians yester? day, (two Bo wen i tes a. one Mackey Ile,) and In hall an hour he heard more pyrotechnical profanity than be had heard before in half a decade. He managed to get away from them at the end of that time, but left them engaged In the most complicated cursing, while the air la their vicinity was absolutely blue with im? precations. The net results of the various Interviews by THE NKWS reporters, among the citizens and politicians, may be expressed aa follows : The merchants on Meeting, Hayne and King streets, so far as they had any opinions to ex? press, manifested great satisfaction with the suggestion of THE NEWS, and assured our re? porters that it would meet with a hearty res? ponse among nine-tenths of the business men ot the elly. One substantial gentleman, who does a large wholesale and retail business, expressed his sentiments as follows: "We want better officials, certainly, and we would like to have, if we could get them, officials from among our own people and of our own choice, but we can't get them, and we had best accept the greatest measure of Improve? ment we can get. But however much we want belter officials, we also want rest from political turmoil. We are doing very well now. Trade is first-rate, and every body is engaged in the legitimate affairs of every-day Hie, and in that way are working ont the problem of the city's regeneration far more practically than by dabbling In the dirty pool of politics. If we were to nominate a third ticket we would all get drawn into the political contest, business would be neglected to a greater or less extent, and the political gain would be nil? We want to rest (rom poli? tics and attend to business, but at the same time we want lo throw our votes where they will do the most good on election day. Your paper now makes a practical suggestion for us to follow, and I for one, and I believe moBtof my neighbors, Intend to follow lt." Another gentleman, prominent In financial circles in Broad street, ?aid In answer to the questions of a reporter, "I cannot say that I agree with your paper's recommendation to the white people to do nothing but accept the least objectionable men upon the rival Radical tickets. It looks like supineness, and I don't like that. If we bad lime to do it, I should be decidedly In favor of putting out a straight ticket In the hope of electing one or two of the nominees upon it, even If we could do no more." Reporter. That would require prompt ac? tion, hard work and some money. Ton are a rich man. Would you subscribe one hundred dollars toward a campaign fund for that pur poae ? Mr.-. No, certainly not, at this stage of the game. I believe though that If the thing had been started In time, a matter of ten thousand dollars, with proper manage? ment, would have enabled us to elect a good ticket. ,. A shrewd merchant said, "I am sure that thesugzeetion by THE NEWS IS the best possi? ble suggestion that could be made as the mat? ter stands at this time. I believe, also, thal nine-tenths of the Conservatives, however they may be taken by surprise now, will come to this view before the day of eleciien, and that the Hobson's Choice ticket will be the successful one. There la only one danger that suggests Itself to me, which ls that the re? spective factions ol the Radicals may, In their anxiety to defeat those of ihe opposite fac? tions who have been put on Hobson's ticket, withdraw their votes from those of their own men who have been put on that ticket, so as to give a 'plumper' to those of their men who have been left out in the cold. The Mackey ites will hardly do that, however, because that would Imperil the chances of Mackey himself, and I expect you have spiked Bowen's guns by nominating the only strong men on his ticket.-' A gentleman of quite another class from those just mentioned expressed himself very differently. He ls an independent Conserva? tive candidate for a prominent county posi? tion, and one whom the citizens would doubt? less be very happy to elect. He said: "I am sorry to say that THE NEWS has underrated my atrengih and the possibility of electing a Conservative candidate. I am confident of success. I have been working in the country myseir and canvassed it thoroughly, and I have great strength there. I have a number of colored people now working for me to whom I have promised such positions aa they are capable of filling if lam elected. I have received representations from Influential colored men In St. Stephen's and other parches, which convince me of the probability of my success. At ali events I Intend to nm, and will be a candidate until the last vote ls counted on election day." A prominent politician, whose Interests are very closely Identified with those of Mr. C. C? Bowen, was approached by one of THE NEWS reporters yesterday afternoon. He was In a condition of great excitement, to pul it mildly. In fact, lt would not be Biraining a point to say that he was in a state ot demoniacal iren zy. Hts first salutation to the reporter was: "Go away, now, I don't want to have any? thing to say to you. Tou have raised_. enough already with your - Hobson's Choice, and Til be-if PH be interviewed. Good -, why In - can't you let rae alone." The reporter quietly waited, and after a few minutes the effervescence subsided and the gentleman proceeded In a Blraln which will bear reporting without so many dashes. He said, in effect: "You may bet on one thing ; every man on our ticket whose name you have printed will come out and repudiate your action, or else they will be stricken off of our ticket. We believe that the course taken by THE NE wa ls wholly and simply in the interest of | Ec". Mackey, and that it Is the result of a bar? gain made two weeks ago. Mackey sees now that he can't elect his ticket against ours, and be wants to save his county ticket by sacrifi? cing bali his legislative ticket. We can beat him ont anyhow, however, even with the whole rebel vote o n top of bia own. The only difference is If you had minded your own business and let us alone we would have beaten him by eight thousand, and now we will only beat him by five thousand. But we'll beat him, and If you want to be on the win? ning side you come In with us." The next politician whom our reporter en? countered was a prominent Mackeylte. He waa less excited, but still far from tranquil. He had a long string of complaints against the selection of names for the Hobson's Choice ticket, and ot course objected to every Bowen name that was put on, and every Mackey name left off. He auld, "What did you mean by putting Levy and Tim Hurley on your| ticket " You might much belter have put on Frank Miller and T. H. Jones from our ticket. You showed good sense la taklog our whole | county ticket, but you would have done much setter If yon bad taken our wbole legislative lek et too. The fact ls we are bound to win, ind if you want to be on the winning side, rou come in with us." The reporter next made a call upon his Ex? cellency, Governor Scott, who had arrived lo he city, and ls the guest of General Wm. 3urney, the candidate for Congress from this llstrlct. The Governor professed almost com? pete Ignorance of the local political compli? cations, but thought the Hobson's Choice no vernen t would be a winning card. He said ie bad come to Charles ion to escape the politi? sai turmoil In Columbia, and upon private luanclal bualness connected with the support >f the insane Asylum. The rumor of his 1100,000 libel suit against the New York Tri >une for defamation of character was, he said, perfectly accurate, and he was determined to iress lt vigorously. He had sent Judge Mackey lo New York to guL^the case In the ianda of Chas. O'Conor, Clarence Seward, S. L. M. Barlow, Charles Spencer, or some other rood lawyer, and bad received word that Elenry Clews it Co. were going to Join in the mit against the Tribune. The Governor ls In excellent health and spirits, aud has an Inex laustlble fund of anecdotes about the rival political aspirants now fighting for the State linces, which he dispenses freely to any caller vltb whom he bas a casual half hour's chat.

On Saturday night, In Summerville township Tour negro men, who were in the road, were tired Into by two white men, One of the negroes, named Jetter, was killed, and one, named Spencer, was wounded. The negroes were suspected ot cotton stealing, but the one believed lo be guilty escaped. It ls claimed that the killed man and the wounded man knew nothing of the misdeeds of their companion. The affair caused great excite* ment. A coroner's Jury wan empanelled, and lt ls expected tbat the persons who fired the shots will be arrested. AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITAL.

The exhibition will be more extensive, and the attendance will no doubt exceed that of any previous year. FI /AN CI A L FOOLERY. Bontwell Regulating the Trade or the Country. NEW YORK, October 7. The announcement from Washington that the treasury department would sell five mil? lions of gold to-day and buy five millions of bonds created a stir lo financial circles. Last evening a large crowd of Wall street opera-1 tors were congregated at the Fifth Avenue Hotel discussing the gold question. The I Times says it is now understood, upon well Informed authority, that the government will place at leset ten millions of dollars In gold upon the market to be sold for the benefit of those needing coln to pay dulles and transact their foreign business. The government bought the five million bonds to-day at 112.74-100 to 112.99-100. The government accepted five millions gold at 112.74-100 to 113.6-100. It ls reported on Wall street that the government will Issue twenty millions of legal tenders at au early day. There were some forty bids for the five mil? lions of gold, aggregating over seventeen millions at lil to 113.1-100. The offers of bonds aggregated nearly seven millions at 112.74-100 to 115. Money has advanced to 1-16 per cent. Sterling exchange is higher, and quoted at 106 for long and 109} for short sight. Gold declined to 112f, but subsequent? ly advanced to U3?.

Ile Analyzes ni* Hearen and Declares the Art of Hoilc Near Death-Wagner a Humbug-Singer? who Get Thou? sands a Night While Composers Starve. ?:.: _-im H A reporter of the New Tork Sun called a Few days ago on Acton Rubinstein. The fa? mous Russian pianist was comfortably sealed In his room at tbe Clarendon Hotel. THE GREAT PEA?iigT. '.You smoke ?" Mr. Rubinstein said, offering the reporter a cigarette. I The reporter declined, aiding, "I presume you hare a great many callers ?" Mr. Rubinstein (laughing*) Yes; but they are mostly musicians. Sons of them are very luony. One came this mosing and asked me/" whether some composliloni which he brought, me were classical. [He toughed heartily.] Another came to me to teilte that he bad in? vented a new theory of mijucAl composition; tiiat he had discovered a new method of com? posing, which could not bus revolutionize the music of the world. [Se laughed again.] While the great pianist spoke, the reporter had an opportunity to scan bis face. What a romantic head ! There are rich chistera of the blackest hair around it They fall almost down to his shoulders, and every time his head moveB he has lo bruah bis hair out of his eyes. It ls a brilliant, rich setting to a long, dark face, and to a. complexion that seems almost bronze. The face 1B stern and rigid. The features seem" immovable. The eyes are of a pale blue, large and open. They have a melancholy, Ubguld lustre, a steady, slow gaze, which ls Infinitely sad. A world ot thought and feeling looms from them. His forehead ls high ana noble, his mouin large and firm, and bis nose looks aa If it had been drawn tight, so as tc be as austere as possible. While he laughed, his face looked kindly and good. Th? larys mouth gives lt an expression of frankness Tad Ingeniousness. When the laugh Is over, bb. (ace resumes its melancholy expression. Hts voice adda to this expression of sadness, it ls mellow, rich, and eoit as that of a woman! When he speaks with feeling lt quavers ant - touches the bear? er. It sounds as gentle an I sweet as the tun? ing of a harp, i A CONVERSATION WIT I RUBINSTEIN. Reporter. Where have iou bad the most appreciative audiences? ? Rubinstein. You mean Mere have I found the most love for music ? there are very few who are good listeners, who love music and who understand lt. They; are a very small percentage. Here there may he five in a hundred, there six, there Bt-veo, perhaps in some places even ten; bul In Pekin os. well as In Ht. Petersburg, in Paris as well as in New York, lt ls still merely a question of percent? age. An artist bas always to play to an audi? ence, the majority ot which are utterly indiff? erent to musio, and And bis playing tedious, or do not understand lt. Reporter. Do you enjoy playing lo public, or does it give you greater pleasure to play In your room when you are alone ? Rubinstein. No; there le a great pleasure, a profound satisfaction in playing before an audience when you feel that lt understands you and feels every note you are playing. RUBINSTEIN'S BATTLE WITH LIFE. Reporter. Have you had to battle with a great many difficulties In your career ? Rubinstein, (supporting his bead on his arm and brushing back his black hair.) Yes, as a composer, but not as a virtuoso. Every com? poser who dares lo leave the beaten path and go bis own way will have to tight a baitte, a very bitter battle, before he will obtain recog? nition. [He sroke with a peculiar expression of sadness, which seemed to be part ol the face, yet took nothing from its kindliness.] TUE FUTCRE OK MUSIC. Reporter. I presume yen have made .the future of music a Bub)ect ot considerable study ? Rubinstein. Yes; but I do not think lt will take the direction wbioh Wagner wants lt to lake. Wagner ls a humbug, a cheat. Hum? bug ls now in fashion, and it obtulnB recogni? tion in music as well as lt does In religion, art, politics, science, business, eocleiy. xbey are all governed by humbug. No, its not humbug, H's cheating, and Wagner has cheated many into the belief ibat be ls the composer, the genius of the age. He bas written some very good things, but nothing that ls worth making such a noise about. Reporter. What will. In your opinion, be the future of music ? Rubinstein. 1 ihink that music as an art Is on the decline. In a generation or two we shall have no classical music worth speaking or. The popularizing and democratic teuden cy or music will kill that, which ls grand and noble In music, and the divine art-you will live to see lt-will pass into the hands of ihe organ-grinder. Street music-that ls the music of the future. They will have In thirty or forty years beer gardens where Beethoven's symphonies and Handel's oratorios will be ex? ecuted before a wine-drinking and cigar smoking audience. 13 THE ART OP MUSIC DYING OUT ? Reporter. You think the art as the art of the lew will die out? Rubinstein. Certainly; there are no com? posers now, and there will soon be no virtuo? si. The opera will be a thing of the past be? cause there ls nobody to compose new operas, and we cannot hear the same old operas for? ever. And then-there is the worst of it there are no singers-[with a terribie empha? sis]-lhere are no singers. Reporter. Are not Nilsson, Patti, Tietjens great songstresses? Rubinstein. Oh, they are pretty singers [lieblich\] but they are uot like Pasta, or Mal tbran or tirisi. [Kindling with enthusiasm.] It's very charming, but (looking up with his dreamy eyes) it ls not that divine art ihat makes a tremble come over you an if cold water had been poured over you. You will say, "Ah, out people will be the same thirty years hence; some will have good, some bad voices." No, no. There are in history many In? stances where'an art has suddenly risen to high perfection, and then again dwindled Into woree than mediocrity: as, tor Instance, paint? ing In Italy. There are still very good things, many neat things done in painting; but you will admit we have no Bapbael, no Rubens, no Micheal Angelo. There may be some who will say some interesting things In music, as there will always be men like Kaulbacb who will paint an Interesting, though not a grand or perfect picture. But the music ol the lu lure will be insignificant when compared with the sublime grandeur or Hs past. [Talking rapid? ly, but with the same inimovaole expression of countenance.] There is really no chance to say much more. So many beautiful, so many sublime things have been said In music that Us utterances will be Insignificant In the future. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COMPOSER AND A SONGSTER Reporter. Will It not be a phenomenon if suddenly all fine voices die oui? Rubinstein. Yes, lt will be a phenomenon; one of those phenomena which nobody can explain. Why, there are even now no young men or women who promise anything great for the lutnre, and even the art of the vir? tuoso [das Virtuosenthum] ls fast dying out. Muf lc attained its perfection between the last half of the last century and the first half of this, and now musical genius seems to be ex? hausted, rer haps lt is good. Look at the ex? travagance which people Indulge In. They pay a songstrees 500,000 francs for a season, andthecompoBerof the opera gets nothing. WOMEN HAVE DONE NOTHING IN MUSIC. Reporter. Will not music be benefited by the superior musical education of the women of the present age? Rubinstein. Women have done nothing in music, absolutely nothing. It is the same in music as it Is In all the arts-they can do notb log remarkable. I do not believe In the woman's rights movement, which ls said to be so very strong in this country. Even when a woman has distinguished herself in art lt 1B something extravagant. She can paint a horse or the like, but a man-never. Take, lor Instance, mother-love. Every woman feels that, at least the great majority, lt Is a feeling which we cannot understand. The lather can never have the feelings of the mother who bore the child-and Billi no woman has ever written a poem or otherwise expressed this feeling. A cradle song-could not a woman write that or Bet it to music ? Or love-I mean the love of the man for the woman-woman leela that-bat can any one claim that ehe ever ex Dressed lt-expressed It as Goethe or Shakespeare or Heine or Bee? lhoven or Bubens expressed lt? There are no sue h names among women. WOMEN SCULPTORS, Reporter. And the American sculptresses In Borne ? Rubinstein (modestly.) I know nothing of sculpture, but I bave never heard of one wo? man who has made her mark on the sculpture of the age, of a woman equal to Canova or Tborwaldsen. ['Vim a dreamy look In his blue eye. ] It is strange, very strange. There Is a woman-the . most beautiful creation of God, if God has created anything-Ideal form, tender beauty, noble sentiment, longings for | the beautiful, the graceful, goodness bf heart, purity. Innocence, a charm of I he Ineffable grace; and then there Is art, the most beauti? ful and Ideal crenion of man, loltv, unstained by reality, dellcal? and lovely, like woman. But the only one who can grasp Its beauty and sublime grandeur ls man, not woman. She 'cannot express whalever ls holiest and no? blest in her. Itls mao who must express lt for her. I think nothing will come ot the wo? man's rights mcvement. Woman had best ) remain what she ls DOW. . She shall bear :men; she shall nurture them and rear them; she shall love them. She has done her share of thework If she has done that well.' And bes'des, }*. ls woman who bas governed until * amen hi.ve governed this world ever since I can remember. And SPO what they I have done. Was lt Louis XiV's and Louis j X Vs and Louis XVI'* fault that they had to do [ wlih women IM TEAT'S QUEER. Here other vlMtors were announced, and the reporter badu the great pianist good-bye Ur. Rubinstein say log,."I hope to see you." As the reporter went Maurice Grau, his face beaming with thousand-dollar bills, entered. "Have you saen Rubinstein?" asked the sharp young manager. "Has he received you kindly?" "On, yea," replied the reporter. "That's queer,'' said Mr. Grau, passing on: ''he hates ue WE taper men." NO BND OP A S Tit IKK. CHICAGO, October 7.
