THINGS IN KERSHA W.
Railroads and Revivals-The Central
Railroad-The Camden Branch.
' [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
CAMDEN, S. C., November 2.
This vicinity is at present agitated upon two
subjects, widely different in their essential quali?
ties. The two are railroads and a religious revi?
val. The latter, however, is confined to the fol?
lowers of John the Baptist, and may be said to
have culminated in the immersion of six newly
made members on Sunday last, a cold and
windy, or "raw and gusty day," which made
sold immersion a thing to be shuddered at.
In reference to the i allroad, I see that you have
published the resolutions adopted by the late con?
vention held in this town. From them you can
learn the spirit of the people cf Lancaster and
? Kershaw with regard to the enterprise.
That Lancaster is determined to have an outlet
by rail is a foregone conclusion, and that her peo.
pie act in harmony with Kershaw ls also evident.
Thoeole question requiring solution is, "with what
corporation 6hall we associate ourselves T"'
The South Carolina Central Railroad offers Its
assistance, provided the people along Its proposed
route subscribe one-fourth of the requisite amount,
in money or land at Its assessed value. But they
refuse 40 come by way of Camden, unless the
branch of the South Carolina Railroad is in some
manner disposed of to Its advantage, either by be?
ing taken up from Ringville to Claremont and turn?
ed round to Sumter, or so disposed of as not to com?
pete with the Central Road. Knowing that there
would or might bc Borne difficulty in negotiating
this, the convention resolved to lay before tho
Board of Directors of thc South Carolina Railroad
a copy of the resolutions adopted,in order that
they might see the advantage to be derived by
?neem by building the railroad from Camden by
Charlotte themselves, under .the charter of the
"Wateree and North Carolina Railroad."
Should thc South Carolina Railroad Company
build under this charter, the Cot?tral Road would
find its terminus at Sumter, for thc reason that it
could not compete with both the Co' ambla and
Charlotte and the Wateree and North Carolina
Railroads.
The very object of the Cent al Road would bc
thereby defeated.
Should, however, they see Jt not to make the
extension to Charlotte, the'Jentral Road will be
built, and a nearly dlrec. route be established
from Charlotte to thc seabo trd.
The South Carolina Rallr >ad can secure to Itself
[ the rich bait thus tempting ?y offered and within
its reach. KERSHAW.

ALL ABOUT THE STATE.
Sales-Day at Spartanbnrg.
The Sparten says: "Our town wa? Ulled on
Monday with our friends from the country.
Nothing of special Importance occurred. Our
magistrates seemed to be kept busy in making or
preparing work for the next term of court. Thc
sheriff attracted a large crowd to see what Induce?
ments he bsd to offer In the way of of real estate."
The Crops.
The Soartanbnrg Spartan says: "We are glad
to hear that the corn crop of this district is much
better than was expected. It is hoped that
enough will be cribbed to supply oar wants with?
out foreign importation. Cotton ls turning out
well from the gin, but very scantily from thc
field. From all we can learn, we fear that half
ls too large a fraction to indicate our cotton crop."
Sales-Day in Newberry.
The Newberry Herald says : "There were
more people in town on Monday than a man of
moderate muscle and energy could shake a stick
at; the courthouse square was crowded, and all
the streets radiating to that common centre were
full of humanity, common and otherwise. The
dark element were largely and strongly represent?
ed, some with sticks, some with guns, (they never
visit the metropolis without an old musket, rifle
or single-barrel shot gun.) and all with more or
less money, which was laid out prodigally. Trade
was high/and the mercantile persuasion in full
feather and good odor,"

A Survivor's Association for Spartauburg Dis?

tial and enlightened jurist, and has won for him
the admiration and esteem of our people.
Resolved, That the patience and courtesy which

course with the Bar and community of the most
agreeable and pleasant character. vi**
Resolved, That our brother, Colonel S. Fair, bc

Honor in open court, and that ' they be published

Lynch Law.
Thu Sumter News, alluding to the recent burn?
ing ol the store of Mr. D. G. Robinson, in that
county, says: "We are palued to hear that two
similar occurrences have taken place, one at the
store of Mr. DuBose, and the other nt that of Mr.
Tindall. These acts were committed by a party of
men tn disguise, ard are supposed to" bc a retri?
bution for the habitual purchase of seed cotton
from persons not authorized to seU it. The pro?
vocation is great; thc farmer has been robbed of
the fruits of his toil, of that upon which he rolled
for the support of his family, and to pay for sup?
plies, perhaps, furnished to the thieves them?
selves; to pay his taxes for the support of a gov?
ernment '.hat fails to protect him-or to save the
remnant of his property from sacrifice at a sher?
iff's sale-while the stolen crop is sold somewhere,
to men who must know that it is stolen. We do
not accuse the men whose stores have been de?
stroyed with being engaged tn this infamous traf?
fic. We know nothing about it. But there are
men who keep their stores open all night for thc
reception of seed cotton, and a great deal ol'
cotton has been stolen from the-tlelds."
The Fire Fiend.
The Edgeileld Advertiser says: "On Wednesday
night, 27th ultimo, the gin house of Mrs. Gregory,
near Riehardsonville, was destroyed by fire, with
a loss of five bales of colton. Late on Monday
afternoon lust, shortly arter the hands had deliv?
ered and stored their day's picking, the giu house
of John Ralnsford, Esq., at his Burt place, was dis?
covered to be on Ure. It was totally consumed,
and with it, sixty bales of eotton. On the same
evening, a few "hours later, however, the gin
house of Mr. Charlie Mathis, living a mlle below
the Pine House, was also discovered to be burn?
ing. It was destroyed, with sixteen bales of cot?
ton. These plantations are about three miles
apart. Nothing ls known as regards the origin of
the fires, but the striking coincidence of two
neighboring gin houses being burned on the same
evening," very naturaUy suggests the torch of the
incendiary."
The Darlington Democrat says: "The barn of
Mr. W. P. Gee, containing six thousand pounds of
fodder and about two hundred bushels of choice
cotton seed, was destroyed ,by fire early in the
evening of the 30th ult. Th? fire was undoubtedly
the work of Incendiaries."
THE CONFEDERATE DOLLAR.
Opinion of Chief Justice Chane, ih Fall
Enforcement of a Vendor's Lien in a
Contract Entered into under the Late
Confederate Government-Thc Confed?
erate Dollar and its Status in the
Contract and after thc War.
The following important opinion delivered
in the Supreme Court or the United States on
Monday last, ls of so much interest that Southern
readers will hardly be content with the telegraphic
abstract already given in THE NEWS. We there?
fore publish the decision in full, as pronounced by
Chier Justice Chase:
THORINGTON VS. SMITH 4 HARTLEY-OriNTON OP
THE COURT BY CHIEF JUSTICE CHA8E.
This is a bill in equity for the enforcement or a
vendor's lien.
lt ls not denied that Smith k Hartley purchased
Thorington's land, or that they executed to him
their promissory note for part or thc purchase
money, as .set forth in bis bill; or that, if there
was nothing more in the case, he would bc enti?
tled to a decree for tl? amount of the note and
interest, and for the sale or the land to satisry the
debt. Hut lt is insisted, by the way or defence,
that the negotiation for the purchase or the land
took place, anti that the note in controversy, pay?
able one day arter dnte, was brade at Montgome?
ry, In the State of Alabama, where fill the parties
resided in November, 1864, at which time the
authority of thc United States was excluded rrom
that portion or the State, and the only currency,
in use consisted of Confederate Treasury notes,
Issued and put in circulation by persons exercis
lng the ruling power of thc States in rebellion,
known ns the Confederate government.
It was also insisted that the laud purchased
was worth more than three thousand dollars in
lawful money; that the contract price was forty
five thousand dollars; that this price, by thc
agreement ol the parties, was to be paid In Con?
federate notes; that thirty-five thousand dollars
were actually paid in these notes; and thal the
note given for the remaining ten thousand dollars
was to be discharged in the same manner; ?iud it
ls claimed on this state of facts, that the vendor
is entitled to no relief In a court of the United
States, and this claim was sustained in the court
below, and the bill was dismissed. The questions
before us on appeal are these: First, can a con?
tract for the payment of Confederate notes, made
during the late rebellion, between parties rebiding
within thc so-called Confederate States, bc en?
forced at allin thc courts or the United States ?
Second, can evidence be received to prove that a
promise expressed to be for the payment or dol?
lars was in ract, and for the payment or any other
than lawful dollars of thc United States' Does the
evidence m the record establish the fact that thc
note for ten thousand dollars was. to be paid, by
agreemcnt of the parties, in Confederate notes?
The first question is by no means free rrom diffi?
culty. It cannot be questioned that thc Confede?
rate notes were Issued in furtherance or an un?
lawful attempt to overthrow tho Government or
the United States by Insurrectionary force. Nol?
ls it a doubtful principle of law that no contract
made lu aid of such an attempt can bc enforced
through the courts or the country whose govern?
ment ls thus assailed. Hut was thc contract of
the parties to this suit a contract of that charac?
ter-can it be fairly described ns a contract in aid
or the rebellion? In examining this question, thc
state ot that part or thc country in which it was
made must bc considered. It ls familiar history
that, early iu 1801, the authorities or seven States,
supported, as was alleged, by popular majorities
combined, for the overthrow or the National
Union, and for thc establishment, within Hs
boundaries, of a separate and independent con?
federation. A governmental organization, repre?
senting these States, was established at Mont?
gomery, In Alabama, first under a provisional
constitution, and afterwards under a constitu?
tion Intended to be permanent. In thc course
of a few months four other States acceded to this
confederation, and thc seat of thc central au?
thority wah transferred to Richmond, lu Virginia.
It was by the central nutliority thus organized,
and under its direction, that thc civil war was
carried ou upon a vast scale against the Govern?
ment of the United States for more than four
years. HR power was recognized as supreme In
nearly the whole .of thc territory of the States eon
federated. lt was the actual government or all
the insurgent States, xcept those portions of
them protected rrom Ito control by the presence
ot the armed forces or thc national government.
What was the precise character or this govern?
ment tn contemplation or law? It is difficult to
define it with exactness. Any dennitton mat may
be given may not Improbably bc found to require
limitation and qualification. But the general
principles or law relating to de facto government
will, we think, conduct us to a conclusion suffi?
ciently accurate. There arc several degrees or
what ls called defacto government. Such a gov
eminent, in its highest degrees, assumes a char?
acter very closely resembling that or a lawful
government. This ls wheu the usurping govern?
ment expels the regular authorities from their
customarv seats and functions, and establishes
Itself In their places, and so becomes the actual
government of a country. The distinguishing
characteristics of such a government ls that ad?
herents to lt In war against the government
de jure do not incur the penalties or treason; and,
under certain limitations, obligations assumed
by it in behalf of the country or otherwise will, in
general, be respected by thc government (Injure
when restored.
Examples or this description or government de
facto are found in English history. The statute
ll, Henry VII, C. I. (Brit. Stat, at Large,) relievos
from penalties for treason all persons who, In dc
reucepr the king for the time being, wage war
against those who endeavor to subvert lils author?
ity by force or arms, though warranted In so
doing by thc lawful monarch, (4 Bl. Comm., 77.)
But this ls where thc usurper obtains actual pos?
session or the royal authority of thc kingdom:
not when he lias succeeded only in establishing
his power over particular localities. Being in
such possession, allegiance is due to him as king
defacto.
Another example maybe found in thc govern?
ment of England under the Commonwealth, flrst ?
by Parliament and afterwards by Cromwell, as
Protector. It was not, iu thc contemplation of
law, a government de Jure, but tt was a govern?
ment tte facto in the absolute sense, lt made
laws, treaties and conquests, which remained the
laws, treaties and conquests of England ofter the
restoration. The better opinion is that acts done
in obedience to tills government could not bc
justly ?cgarded as treasonable, though in hostility
to the king de Jure. Such acts were proierted
from criminal prosecution by the spirit, If not thc
letter, of the statute or Henry the Seventh. It
was held otherwise by the Judges hy whom Sir
Henry Vane was tried for treason. (5 Stale Trials,
iii?,) In the year following the restoration. But
such a judgment in such a time lias little author?
ity.
it ls very certain that thc Confederate Govern?
ment was never acknowledged by thc Untied
States as a de facto government iu this sense,
.nor was it acknowledged as such by foreign pow?
ers. No treaties were made by it. No obligation
of a national character were created by lt bind?
ing, after its dissolution, on thc States which lt
represented or on thc nationai governnieni. From
a very early period of thc war to its close it was
regarded as simply the military representative or
the Insured ?on against the authority of the
United States.
But there ls another description or govern?
ment, called by publicists government de facto,
but which might, perhaps, be more aptly denom
iuated a government or paruniouut Toree. Its
distinguishing characteristic arc (l) that Its exis
istence is maintained by active military power
within thc territories and against the rightful
authority for established and lawful government;
and (2) that while it exists it must necessarily be
obeyed in civil matters by private citizens, who,
by acts of obedience rendered In submission to
su?h force, do not become responsible as wrong
doers for these acts, though not warranted by the
laws ot the rightful government. Actual govern?
ments or this sort arc established over districts
dutering greatly In extent and conditions; they
are usually administered directly bv military au?
thority; but they may be administered also by
civil authority, supported more oriels by military
te rc e.
One example of this sort of government is
found in the case or Castine, or Maine, reduced to
a British possession (the war or 1S12.) From the
1st or September, 1314, to the ratification of the
treaty ot peace in 1816, according to thc judgment
or the court, in the United States vs. Rice (4
Wheat., 253,) "the British Government exercised
all civil and military authority over the place."
Thc authority or thc United States over the terri?
tory was suspended, aud thc laws or tho United
States could no longer bc rightfully enforced
there, or bc obligatory upon the Inhabitants who
remained and submitted to thc conqueror. By
thc surrender the Inhabitants passed under a
temporary allegiance to thc British Government,
and were bound by such laws, and such only, ns
lt chose to recognize and impose. It is not to be
Interred rrom this that thc obligations of thc peo?
ple or Castine, as citizens or the United Slates.
were abrogated. They were suspended merely by
the presence, and only during the presence, ?r
the paramount force. A like example is. found in
the case ol' Tampico, occupied during the war
with Mexico by thc troops of the United States.
lt was determined by Mils court, in Fleming vs.
Page (9 How., 614,) that although Tampico did not
become a part of the United States In consequence
or that occupation, still, having tome together
with the whole State of Tamaulipas, of which lt
was part, into the exclusive possession or the na?
tional forces, it must be regarded and respected
by other nations as the territory ot the United
States. There were cases or temporary posses?
sion or territory by lawfol and regular govern?
ments at war with the country, ot which the ter?
ritory so possessed was part. The central gov?
ernment established for the Insurgent States dif?
fered from the temporary governments at Castlno
and Tampico in the circumstance that its authori?
ty did not originate La lawful acts or regular war;
but it was not on that account less active or less
supreme, and we think that it must be classed
among the governments of which these are exam
pies. It is to he observed that thc rights and ob
Igallons of a belligerent were conceded to it in
its military character, very soon after the war
began, from motives of humanity and ex?
pediency, by thc United States. The whole
territory controlled by it was thereafter held to
bc the enemy's territory, and the inhabitants
of that , territory were held In most respects
for enemies. To the extent, then, of actual
supremacy, however unlawfully gained, in all
matters of government within its military lines,
the power of the insurgent government cannot bc
questioned. That supremacy would not justify
acts of hostility to thc United States. How far
lt should exercise them must be left to the lawful
government upon thc re-establishment of its au?
thority. But it made civil obedience to its au?
thority not only a necessity but a duty. Without
such obedience civil order was impossible. It
washy this government exercising its power
through an Immense territory that the Confed?
erate notes were issued early bi the war, und
these notes, in a short time, became almost ex?
clusively the currency of theunsurgent States. As
contracts in themselves, in the contingency of
successful revolution, these notes were nullities,
for except in that event there could be no payer.
They bore, indeed, this character upon their face,
for they were made payable-only "after a ratifica?
tion of a treaty of peace between the Confederate
States and the United States of America." While
the war lasted, however, they had a certain
contingent value, and were used as money
in nearly all the business- transaction's
of many millions of people. "They must
be regarded, therefore, as a currency
Imposed on the community by irresistible
force. It sccni3 to follow as a necessary conse?
quence from the actual supremacy of thc Insur?
gent government, as a belligerent, within tho ter?
ritory where it circulated, and the necessity of
civil obedience on tho part of all who remained
In it, that this currency must be regarded in the
courts of law In the same light as ii it had been
Issued by a foreign government temporarily oo
cupying a part of thc territory of the United
States. Contracts stipulating for payments lu
that currency cannot be regarded as nude In aid
of the foreign invasion lu the one case, or of the
domestic Insurrection In tho other. They have no
necessary relation to the hostile government,
whether invading or Insurgent. They are trans-,
actions lu thc ordinary course of civil noclcty,
and, though they may indirectly and remotely
promote the ends of the unlawful government,
arc without blame, except when proved to have
been entered Into with actual Intent to further the
Invasion or insurrection. Wc cannot doubt that
such contracts should bc enforced in thc courts of
thc United States, after the restoration of peace,
to the extent of their first obligation. The
first question, therefore, must receive au affirm?
ative answer. The second question, whether
evidence ?an be received to prove that a promise
made in one of the insurgent States, and ex?
pressed to bc for thc payment of dollars, without
qualifying words, was, in fact, made for thc pay?
ment of any other than lawful dollars of the Uni?
ted States, ls next to be considered. It is quite
clear that a contract topsy dollars made between
citizens of any State of the Union maintaining its
constitutional relations witt: the national govern?
ment ls a contract to pay lawful money of thc
United States, and cannot be modified or ex?
plained by parole evidence. ' But lt ls equally
clear, If In any other country colas or notes de?
nominated dollars should be authorized of differ?
ent value from the colus or notes which are cur?
rent herc under that name, that In a suit upon a
contract to pay dollars made in that country evi?
dence would be admitted to prove what kind of
dollars was Intended; and, if it should turn out
that foreign dollars were meant, to prove their
equivalent value in lawful money of the United
States.
Such evidence does not modify or alter the con?
tract, lt simply explains an ambiguity which,
under the general rules of evidence, may be re?
moved by parole evidence. We have already
seen that thc people of the Insurgent States,
under this Confederate Government, were, in
legal contemplation, substantially lu tko same
condition as inhabitants of districts of a country
occupjed and controlled by an invading bellige?
rent. Thc rules which would apply to the former
case would apply to the latter, and, as lu the for?
mer case, the people must be regarded as sub?
jects of a foreign power, and contructs among
them bc interpreted and enforced with reference
to thc laws Imposed "by the conqueror, soin the
latter ease the Inhabitants must bc regarded ns
under thc authority of thc insurgent belligerents,
actually established as the government of tue
country; and contracts made with them must be
interpreted and Inferred with reference to the
condition of things created by the acts of thc
governing power.
It is said, Indeed, that under the Insurgent
government the word doimisttiwcryimtnej^fta? ?
mg as under *the Government of the United
States; that the Confederate notes were never
made a legal tender; and, therefore, that no evi?
dence can be received to show any other meaning
of the word when used in a contract.
But lt must be remembered that thc whole con?
dition of things in the insurgent States was
matter of fact, rather than matter of law; and as
matter of fact these notes, payable at a future
and contingent day, which has not arrived, and
eau never arlve, were forced into circulation as
dollars, if not directly by the loglslatlon, yet Indi?
rectly and quite as effectually by thc acts of thc
Insurgent government. Considered in Hiern?
ach es, and in the light of subsequent events,
these notes had no real value, but they were
current as value by irresistible force; they were
the only measure of value which this people had,
and their usc was a matter of almost-absolute
necessity, and this gave them u sort of a value,
Insignificant and precarious enough, lt ls true,
but always having a sufficient definite relatlou to
gold and silver, the universal measures of value,
so that lt was easy to ascertain how much gold
and silver was the real equivalent of a sum ex?
pressed in the currency. In the light of these
facts it seems hardly loss than absurd to soy that
these dollars must be regarded os identical in
kind and value with the dollars which constitute
thc money ol' the United States. We cannot shnt
our eyes to the fact that they were essentially dif?
ferent in both respects, and lt seems to us that
bu rule of evidence, properly understood, re?
quires us to refuse, under the circumstances, to
admit proof of the sense in which the word dollar
was actually used in the contract before us.
Our answer to the second question ls, therefore,
also in the affirmative.. We are clearly of the
opinion that such evidence must be received In
respect to such contracts in order that Justice
may be done between the parties, and that the
porty entitled to be paid in these Confederate
dollars eau only receive their actual value at the
Unie ami place of the contract in lawful money of
Hie United States. We do not think lt necessary
to go into a detailed examination or the evidence
in the record in order lo vindicate our answer to
tho third question, lt is enough to say that lt has
left no doubt in our minds that the note roi- ?io,
Ouo, to enforce payment of which suit was
brought in the Circuit Court, was to lie paid by
agreement In Confederate notes, it follows that
the judgment of the Circuit Court mus; be ?evers
ed and ihe cause remanded for a new trial, in
conformity with this .opinion.
TEE STONEWALL JIOItllOR.
A Woman's Self-Possession-Thc
Drowning of the Man who Proposed
to Save Her-The Caudle that Set thc
Fire-A Murder in thc Struggle ?"ur
Itlft.
The Missouri Republican prints the follow?
ing account of the remarkable experience or
Anna Gurney:
There was a young lady on board of the Stone?
wall, about seventeen years of age, with whom
Anna was well acquainted, and they kept togeth?
er, on Wednesday evening, after supper, Anna
invited her companion to go down with her on
the main deck and sleep with her, as she had a
comfortable berth. The women, being tired, di?
vested themselves of their outer clothing and
went to bcd, On tue deck there were several
Italians who were drunk and noisy, one of whom
hail a candle lu his hand, and carelessly placed
lt on a bale of hay, setting lt ou lire. The
alarm was Immediately given, and lu a second
the boat was a sheet Of llame. Anna jumped
up In lier night-clothes to save herself. All
was confusion. She stood on the guards of thc
boat as long as it was safe, (lin ing which she felt
perfectly calm and self-possessed. A gentleman
caine up and proposed that il' she would jump off
with him into thc water lie wouid try and save
her. Sift said, "N'o; try and save yourself; I
think I can save myself." He Jumped oil", and
she saw him drown. She stayed on Hie guards
until she waa forced to jump Into the river or
burn to death, as the boat tn. th at quarter bi came
nearly enveloped in Hames. She made the plunge !
and went to Hie bottom. When she ernie up she
caught hold of a rope, and thought il led to thc
boat, but was a rope attached lo the spar, which
had tumbled over into thc water. She pulled her?
self along by thc rope until she came to the spar
that had drifted under the burning sicamor.
While here a post of thc burning cabin overhead
fell down, anda portion struck her on the,should?
ers, injuring her severely. By this time she got
off the spar, and while holding, her hand was
burned by drops of melted pitch, which trickled
down. She being under thc guards, was saved
rrom being crushed by the falling spars and
smoke pipes.
A gentleman at this time, who was struggling
In the water, managed also to get astride or the
spar. At this time the bursting or the coal oil
cans covered the water with a liquid sheet or fire.
As she expressed lt, "thc water was on fire."
She and her companion held on to the spar until
a boat came from Neeley's Lauding to their res?
cue, a mile and a hau* distant, their safety being
due to their position under the gnards.
As near as can bc estimated, there were aboard
the boat: Cabin passengers, 35; deck passengers,
i6?; officers, 16; deck crew, 38; cabin crew, 20;
total, 27f-.
A group of men in the water sought to save
themselves by the aid or a bale of floating hay,
which was too small to float them all. A savage
contest ensued for Its possession/all struggling
to obtain a lodgment upon, it, when one more
desperate than the rest was roused to demoniac
passion, and drawing a knife, plunged lt into a
companion's body, and the lifeless form rolled
over into the current, which was reddened by his
blood. Thc act of fiendish Impulse was speedily
avenged, for the whole party are believed to have
been drowned.
? URRENT NOTES.
-The gas In New Tork is the subject of bitter
complaint In the Journals of that city, who assert
that there is no town In the Union furnished with
such miserable light and charged such extrava?
gant prices.
-The Irou bridge at St. Louis, connecting the
Illinois add Missouri shores of thj Mississippi
River, is reported to have been commenced, and
four hundred and thirty men, with all thc mo?
dern steam appliances for excavating earth and
moving heavy stones and timbers, are new at
work. Thc bridge structure ls to be composed of
three wrought and cast Iron arches, one of Ave
hundred and fifteen feet In length, the other two
four hundred aud ninety-seven feet each. Thc
lower part of the bridge ls intended for the pas
sago of railway trains; the upper for ordinary
travel.
-Sewage, as a manure, Ls now attracting great
attention in England, and it ls asserted that thc
members of the Metropolitan lioord of Works, of
London, by their apathy on the subject, are con?
niving at an enormous waste of money and ferti?
lizing power by neglecting to utilize the sewage
of London. The annual outflow.of the sewer
water of London is estimated at one hundred and
eighty millions of tons, and this refuse is calcu?
lated to be worth nine farthings a ton. Hence, it
is cont ended, valuable manure ls discharged Into
thc Thames worth $7,500,000 per annum, or $20,
54." a day.
-The suffocation of four persons at a fire in
Liberty street, K6w York, has called attention in
that city to tue*ncce38ity of constructing outside
iron stairways to the tenement houses, which arc
frequently crowded with human beings from the
cellars to thc attics. Ladders leading to the roofs,
scuttles and ropes have been tried, and fouud to
be ineffectual. It ls asserted that within four
years over thirty persons have been suffocated or
burned to death in consequence of,the absence of
suitable fire-escapes. Thc four persons who were
suffocated in Liberty street, it is contended, could
have been saved had thc firemen ascended to the
roof of thc building, and then descended through
thc hatchway, instead of attempting to force a
passage upwards from below.
-From tr% reports in the London papers, lt ls
evident that thc people there have become much
more expert than before at the business of mak?
ing Thames tunnels. A new one, which has gone
on without much cosmopolite notice, is now
nearly completed from Tower Hill to the street of
thc "Three Tailors"-Tooley-strcct-a distance of
over 1300 feet, 300 feet or so shorter than our great
Brooklyn bridge, that ls to be. The work was
going on at the rate of nine feet lu twenty-four
hours-a much more rapid speed than that of thc
first Thames tunnel, which, for one cause or other,
took twe've or thirteen years to complete lt. In
the new tunnel people can hear thc sound of pad?
dles and other noises on thc river overhead; but
the arch Ls pronounced a perfectly safe one, and
the listeners are Quittes pour la peur, as the
French say.
-Some of the Ideas proposed at the recent
Woman's Parliament In New York are rather
startling. A married woman ought to have a
legal right to dispose In any way she may please
of a share of her husband's income. According
to that plan, an extravagant woman might
a^engaatetof Jmnband'a aomiaga feefet* -hft pfc
eelved them, and he would have no power to
help himself. In cases of profligacy, thc money
which properly belonged to husband and chil?
dren could be withdrawn by the wife. Another
speaker contended that children should be allow?
ed greater freedom-that no article belonging to
them should bc touched without their consent;
.that any question they liked to put should bc
answered, and that they should bc accustomed
to the Idea that they arc to think and act- inde?
pendently. It is generally supposed that In this
country there ls not much room for Improvement
in thc last-mentioned particular.
-The Array and Navy Journal says that thc
Navy Department proposes to take the defence of
our habors out of thc hands or thc engineer corps,
of thc army, entrusting it no longer to forts, but
to monitors and torpedoes. The new torpedo
corps ls being put Into an effective condition, and
in case of need will prove itself a valuable auxili?
ary. A new irou-clad ls in progress, embodying
the main idea of the monitor, having an elonga?
ted turret carrying rourtcen guns, five on each
side and two each front and rear, thus command?
ing ihe whole horizon with its artillery, and with?
out changing thc position of its guns. It will
carry sall and have telescopic masts, which'COO
bc taken in when preparing for action, and a
bowsprit that eau be triced up and got ont of the
way of the forward guns, lt will carry five or
six inches of iron armor, backed with forty-two
inches of oak. These are, wc believe, the main
feature of the . easel proposed, lt is expected to
combine thc excellencies of the monitor with thc
advantages of a broadside vessel.
-Two or throe of the French newspapers or
tho Republican side complain with bitterness of
the lack of sympathy which they meet with in
the United States and England. Thc Americans
who reside in Paris are accused of being, to a
largo extent, toadies of the court-ready to fra?
ternize with anybody who will procure them ad?
mission to court balls and festivities. It is de?
clared that thc French opposition, which no
doubt consists or thc most illustrious men of the
country, linds more friends among any other
class of foreigners than the Americans and Eng?
lish. Certainly the articles or some of the London
papers are offensive enough-the Tory journals
even advising the Emperor to try another 2d or
December. From thc French point ol view, this,
as every one will understand, seems selfishness
Itseir. On thc other hand, it is not clear how
any class of residents arc to manliest their pref?
erence for the opposition if they do preier lr.
The most they can do is to abstain from ostenta?
tious marks or regard for the powers that are In?
stalled.
