[8PECIAL TKI.KOK.AVI TO THE NEW8 1 COLUMBIA, April 84.-In tho Snpremo Court to-day, General McGowan closed tbo case for his side, in the great negro bond case. He was answered by Mr. Thompson on eoverai peints, which concluded the most interesting and im¬ portant case of this term. General McGowan spoke some twelve hours against the validity ot the bonds. Both sides of the question have been most thoroughly discussed, and it is pro¬ bable that all similar casos will be continued by agreement, so as to let tho decision in this case settle the principle involved. Owing to its great importance, the decision in this case will not be rendered until the va¬ cancy caused by Hoge's resignation is filled. After some further unimportant business, tbo court Adjourned until Monday, when the ftecond Circuit will bo peremptorily called. EUROPE. THU LONDON PRESS ON THE CUBAN QUESTION- PROMPT ACTION OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT- SUCCESS OF THE SPANISH LOAN. LONDON, April 22.-The London Post of to¬ day-a conservative Whig organ-bas an ela¬ borate editorial article on tho Cuban question, in which it mentions that it is asserted that President Grant has a longiug eye upon Cuba, and would not be unwilling to distract the at¬ tention of the people of the United States from watching the course of internal affairs by a war with some foreign power. A conflict with Spain cannot leave any doubt respect¬ ing the issue, unless England and France should interfere. A blow dealt at Cuba TTould be tantamount to a blow dealt towards the whole of the West Indies, and the acquisi¬ tion of Cuba might be followed by that of Ja maica and Martinique. The same paper quotes the recent acquisions of territory by the United States as a proof that it wants to acquire by piecemeal all the possessions held by European powers in that latitude, and would naturally commence by Cuba, because it belongs to the weakest of the powers bavins* settlements in the West Indies. France and England will doubt¬ less determine whether these designs against Cuba will be tolerated, or aid Spain in retaining her colony. The French presB has agitated the question much in the same tenor, and special meetings of the Freuch Cabinet were held on Tuesday and Wednesday, which resulted in a special envoy being sent last night to London with dispatches referring to the present complica¬ tion of events. The Spanish loan of £8,000,000 was laúnchod b.3re to-day through the medium of J. S- Mor¬ gan & Co., and is meeting with good success. The Oxford boat crew has accepted the American challenge for a four-oared race, in August next. The bullion in the Bank of Eugland has in¬ creased £61,000 since lost week. THE SPANISH SUCCESSION.

Q UJLRAJNTLNE* It will bo oeen fi om tho following corres¬ pondence that during the ensuing summer months, vessels having clean bills of health granted or countersigned by a Consul of tho United States will not meet with detention at the quarantine ground : Unman CONSULATE, ( Cn MILES ION, April 21, 1869. \ To Dr. Robert Lebby, Health Officer Fort of Charleston : SIB-Perceiving from the publication of tbe quarantine law lately enacted for this State, that the thirty day period of quarantine is only expressly required of the vessels designated in the first subdivision of the second section of the act, 1 havo the honor to ask of you wi ether you have established at y rules which, by compliance therewith afc the ports of departure by masters of ves¬ sels, may satisfy you of the absence of pes¬ tilential contagious and infectious disease at such ports, at tho time of the vessel's depar¬ ture ? In other words, whether clean bills of health from suoh ports would not bo sufficient to take vessels out of tho first subdivision and place them among the vessels in the second ? which vessels seem to be subject only to such detention as in your judgment maybe neces¬ sary. I am, sir, Your very obe.liont sorvaut, Ai. P. WALKER, H. M. Consul. HEALTH OFFICE, PORT OP CHARLESTON, Í April 23,1869. f H. P. Walker, Esq , H. B. M. Consul, Charleston : SIB-I have the honor to acknowledge your communication of the 21st inst., desiring to be informed what ruleB and regulations have been established for the execution of the Quaran¬ tine laws in this harbor. I beg leave to say that all bills of health must be signed, or countersigned, by the American Consul, with official Beal attached, or agent (if no Consul) of the Amorican Govern¬ ment, and if no agent, then tho principal of¬ ficial of the city and port, of the healthy or un¬ healthy condition of the port of departure. If this latter contingency should exist, the vessel will be detained at quarantine until such billa of health can be authenticated by her Ma¬ jesty's Consul at Charleston. For further information, I respectfully refer you to my letter of the lab instant, to the mer¬ chants engaged in the West India trade. Furthermore, all permits of examination and diaoharge must be paid for, when issued, according to tonnage, as in tho harbor of New York. f am, sir, very respectfully, ROBERT LEBBY, M. D., Health Officer. That the foregoing may be better under¬ stood, we reprint and subjoin the letter of the lat instant, to which the health officer makes reference, viz: CHARLESTON, April 1, 1869. To Messrs,, Wehh db Brandes. Risley ct Creigh¬ ton, A. Candle, Bart db Wirth. W. P. Hau and J. A. Enslow db Co. GENTLEMEN-I have the honor to acknowl¬ edge your letter of 31st ult., requesting to be informed "as to what restrictions are imposed by the recent quarantine law, upon vessels trading betv, eon this port and the British and Spanish West Indies during the summer sea¬ son." I beg leave to inform you that the act of the General Aasembly, passed on the six'Ji day of September, 1868, establishing quarantine at Georgetown, Charleston and Hilton Head, will be rigidly executed. The second section of this act fixes the terms of quarantine, viz : '-Vessels arriving at tho ports of Georgetown, Charleston anti Hilton Head shall be subjeot to quarantine as follows: All vessels Hom any plaoe where pesti¬ lential,' contagious or infectious disease exist¬ ed at the time of their departure, or which shall have arrived at suoh plaoe ana proceeded thence to either of said ports, or on board of which, during the voyage, any case of suoh diaease shall have occurred, arriving between the first day of May and the first of November, shall remain at quarantine for at least thirty days after their arrival, and at least twenty days after their cargo shall have been dis¬ charged, and shall perform such other quaran¬ tine as tue health officers sholl prescribe. " 2. All vessels from any place (including islands) in Asia, Africa or the Mediten anean, or from any of the West Indies, Bahamas, Ber¬ muda or Western Islands, or from any place in America, in the ordinary passage from which they pass south of Hilton Head ; and all ves¬ sels on board of which, during the voyage or while at the port of their departure, any person shall have been sick, arriving between the first day of May and the first day of November, and all vessels from a foreign port, and not em¬ braced in the first subdivision of this section, shall, on arriving at the quarantine ground, be subject to visitation by the health officers, but Bhall not be detained beyond the requisite time for due examination and observation, unless they "hail have had cs board daring the voyage some case of infectious, contagions or pestilen¬ tial disease, in which oase they shall be sub- ticttosnch quarantine and regulations as the ealth officers may prescribe. "3. All vessels embraced in the foregoing provisions, which are navigated by steam, shall be subject only to such length of quaran¬ tine and regulations as the health officer shall enjoin, unless they shall have had on board during the voyage some case of infec¬ tious, contagious or pestilential disease, in which oas a tho? shall be subject to euch quar¬ antine as the health officers shall proscribe." This is the law. Upon a careful consideration of this section of law, I am of opinion that the first clause is imperative, and that all vessels from any port where, at the time of their depart ure, any in¬ fectious, pestilential or contagions disease is Erevailing, whether the crew and paaaengers ave oeen healthy or not, must be quarantined by this act for at least thirty days after arrival, and at least twenty days after the cargoes have been discharged. The second clause,, in my judgment, admits all from ports named in the seotion, and aro detained only for visitation and examination by the health officer, unless they shall have had on board during the voy¬ age some case of disease in the foregoing clime, The third elrose, in regard to steam vessels, is entirely discretionary, unless they shall have had on board during the passage any of t he prescribed diseases. Thus, gentlemen, yon have my interpreta¬ tion of the quarantine laws, entrusted to me for the protection of the community of Charles¬ ton and the prevention by importation of all epidomio or contagions diseases. Whilst it would givo me much pain to trammel or em¬ barrass your trade or conamore« in any manner, I have s duty to perform, and that fearlessly and impartially, to execute the law, for which I have been selected by the Executive of South Carolina. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, ROBKBT*LBBBY, M. D., Health Officer Port of Charleston. FALSE-PACKED COTTON.-Yesterday, ft lot of nineteen bales of cotton, from Abbeville, was offered to Messrs. Blakely & Gibbes. Mr. Gibbes sampled the cotton and after offering 25¿ cents per pound for it, made a olose exami¬ nation of it, and found eighteen bales of it to be falsely packed, being filled in the middle of the bales with cotton seed and wet and rotten cotton. On boring into the middle of the balea bushels of seed were found. The young man who had oh argo of thc cotton asserts very pos¬ itively thftt the fraud WAS entirely unknown to him. and that the packing was done on his mother's plantation by the freedmen, who had au interest in the crop of one-htlf. The mer¬ chants and committee of the Board of Trade have, we leam, determined not to prosecute the party in this oase before giving him » oh anco to olear bimaelf.-Columbia Phoenix, 2kh. -Several recent events in England are lead¬ ing to a largely increased emigiAtion fro ai that country to this. The most important of these are the closing of two great dock-yards by the admiral ty, and the long strike at neston. The workmen in both places are coming or aro pre¬ paring to come to this country in very large numbers, «nd they will be of the bestfelass of emigrants, men skilled in their work. The present condition of the cotton manufacture or of the shipbuilding business ls not such as to afford any very good groónos for the belief that the men will fled employment proutptlv, but it is apparent to All who read tb« descrip¬ tion of the state of affairs in manufacturing towns where work ls alack or wholly suspend ed. that the exehange ot England for America will not be for tho worse. If these two branches of trade should improve in activity the addi¬ tional supply of workmen would be greatly to our advantage. AFFAIRS IN THJE STATE. Greenville. Tho Mountaineer says : "During tho first part of this woek a vf fy heavy ruin foll here, doing some little injury by 'waBhing.' Tho fruit crop, we are glad to be able to state, was not entirely destroyed by the recent frosts, al¬ though the supply will be much shortened. Georgetown. The Times says : "After a long biege of dry weather we were gladdened by a Bhowor efrain on Tuesday, whioh although not very heavy, will be of great advantage to nnr fields and gardens. Our plantéis are busy Bowing their seed and are much cheered by the spring weather, which is at present of delightful tem¬ perature." Edgefield. Thursday night last, Simkin's mill, in Edge- field County, below Beech Island, was entirely destroyed by fire. The mill waa used as a grist and saw mill, and the same water power running a cotton gin. Near tho mill is a atoro where were congregated a crowd of men, and it is thought the fire originated from a match being thrown among some loose cotton, which communicated to the null. The loss of tho mill alone is about $5000, whioh is a sad calam¬ ity to the neighborhood. Besides the burning of the mill, a quantity of corn and cotton was also deatroyed. Barnwell. The Barnwell Sentinel comes to us enlarged and clad in a now dress. The Journal says : " The protracted drought from which we have suffered for many weeks was terminated on last Tuesday by a most re¬ freshing rain. Tho gardens look fully a hun¬ dred per cent, better, and the young corn is looking green and promising. " The next sales-day will lake place at Barn¬ well, after which the county offices will bo re¬ moved to Blackville, the County Commission- | j ors having routed the Methodist Parsonage for their accommodation. The Methodist OJureh will be used for the courthouse." haareni. There was quite a spirited agricultural meet¬ ing at Laurensville on Monday last. Tho dwelling house of Mrs. Mary A. Qore, in Laurens District, was burnt on the night of i Maroh 19th. Tho Bleeping inmates narrowly escaped, and almost the entire contents of the house were consumed. A negro man and wo¬ man, husband and wife, (tho last but recently living on the plaoe) have been arrested and are in jail, charged with applying the torch. The Laurenaville Herald says : "Since our last abundant rains. have visited all parts of the district, to the advantage of the growing wheat and oat crops, which were beginning to suffer from tbe cold, dry, windy weather which has prevailed for a month. We may IIDW,re¬ gard the frosty king as abdicated and the floral queen as fairly enthroned, and putting on her royal and graceful regalia for the sea jon." The name. paper notices the death, on the 20th inst-, of a little girl, agod about ten years, by the name of Lillie Harris, daughter of Major N. S. Harris, near Clinton, in this district. The little girl, we learn, was caught by a falling tree near her father's residence, during a gale, and crushed instantly to death, it being neces¬ sary to cut the tree in two before the body of the unfortunate little creature could be extri¬ cated. Orangebnrg, A colored boy by the name of Edward Black was found dead a few days since, in the field ot Mr. Paul C. Ht roman. The finding of the cor¬ oner's inquest was-died from neglect and hunger. He wis a boy of unsound mind, and no one knew that be was about the premises until discovered by Mr. Stroman in going over his fields thc day before the inquest. He was then dead, and by appearances, moat have been dead for several days. The Orangeburg News give the following ac- [ count of a bloody murder in the Fork: "On last Monday morning, about six o'clock, as I \ Mr. W. L. W. Riley and two Colored laborers t were making arrangements, in his horse lot, to oommenco the week's woik, two white men, 11 Hansford S. Porter and MlBedge Porter* ula 11 brother, residents of the Fork, entered the lot unexpectedly to Mr. Riley. Shortly after their arrival Mr. James W. Jordan, an employee of Mr. Riley's, also came in, and spoke to the Por¬ ters, Bhaking hands with Hansford. Milled ge Porter had in bis hands a double barrel gun, and told Jordan that he had come to arrest him and take him to. Orangeburg, at tbe same time pointing his gun at him. Jordan.re¬ marked, 'Don't reckon, but I surrender.' Jor¬ dan then took Riley aside and asked him what it meant. Riley said he did not know; ask him fer his authority. They then stepped back to where the Porters were standing and Jordan asked Porter to let him see his authority for the arrest. Jordan and Riley both were stand¬ ing between the Porters. Milledge Porter re¬ plied that he 'did not have any.' Jordan turn¬ ed and faced Riley, who was stooping over a little, getting something out of his pocket, when Hansford S. Porter presented a six shooter, fired over Riley's shoulder, the ball striking Jordan centrally iu the breast, and entering the right cavity of the heart. Jordan fell in the arms of Mr. Riley, and died in about fifteen minutes. The Porters then deliberately bade good morning and walked off. At the crack of the pistol the colored men left, leaving Mr. Riley alone with the dying man, and having no weapon of any description at band, and the Porters being fully armed and apparently desperate, he was powerless to ar¬ rest them. Sometime sir oe, we gave an ac- i ] count of the shooting of Mr. John Porter, a j < brother of Hansford and Milledge, by Larti- gue, in the Fork, and it is supposed -that the Porters believed Jordan assisted Lartigue in that transaction. The ball that killed Jordan passed over the shoulder of Mr. Riley, taking tbe lint from his coat, and the powder burning his neck; in the meantime if Mr. Riley had straightened up he would have received the discbarge himself, and we would have had to chronicle also the death, perhaps, of this esti¬ mable gentleman, as Milledge Porter sood ready with Ins double-ban-el gun levelled to shoot Jordan it Hansford failed. The coroner's inquest announced the deed a cold blooded murder. The Porters, as yet, have not been arrested. Mr. Jordan was the son-in-law of Mr. Daniel Young, and we hear, an honest, hard-working man. He leaves a young n iie to monrn his untimely fate." FATAL KEROSENE ACCIDENT. The New Orleans Picayune gives the shock¬ ing details of the death, from a kerosene Ump explosion, of Mrs. Benedict, the wife of a wealthy Louisiana planter, residing a short distance below New Orleans : Mr. Benedict, her husband, had left the plan¬ tation for a visit to the oity upon business, and Mrs. Benedict, with her little babe, had just re¬ tired to rest for the night when tbe accident occurred. A coal oil lamp was burning upon a standby the bedside, and when tbe lady had seen that her little one was tocked in and cared for, she leaned forward and with'her hand upon the screw of the lamp turned it down, at the same time blowing down the ohimney to effectually extinguish tho lingering flame. In au instant the blaze whioh had been forced down into tho lamp ignited tho oil resulting in an explosion, the barning fluid covering ibo night clothes of the lady and spreading itself over the bed. Mrs, Bonodiot's screams attracted the attention of » norse in tax adjoining apartment, who rushing in seized tbe btbe, whose night clotho« were «Iso on fire, and left the room in a state of terror whioh seemed to have paralysed her. Mrs. Benedio*, with great presence of mind, wrapped the bed clothes about her to suffocate the fire, hut finding that this would not do she left thé oed and room and ran down a flight of stairs into the parlor, where abe endeavored to s ide t ho flames with the rugs and other wooled articles ehe could get hold of. Still .the fire demott clung to her, literally scorching her to death by inches, and at last, io tbe frenzy of despair she lashed from the noose out into th« night, and across the field, pass the sugar house to the dwelling of the overseer, who, aroused by her oríes, opened the door and hurried her into his wife's apartments. The poor lady, around whom linens woro quick¬ ly thrown, 'saturated with oil, waa one living mass of burns; bot for all this, and feeling that she had but a little while to live, she talked as calmly as she wan went to do before tbe terrible accident had happened. The over¬ seer, at her direction, left at once for the hones, and snooeeded in cutting oat tba fire ind securing certain valuable papou, the plaoe of keeping of whioh had been detailed to him by Mrs. Benedict, with a calmness which waa wonderful in one writhing tn the agónica of death. She lingered bot a few boors. In person, Mrs. Benedict waa quite portly, but waa .withal a woman of exceeding grace and beauty. She was well known tn Louisiana aa Mrs. Moneare, Mr. Benedict being her second hatband. THE EAST El VEE BRIDGE. Tho Greatest Project of «He Age. The project of Mr. Röchling, the fa inonu en¬ gineer and suspension bridge builder, for unit¬ ing New York and Brooklyn* ny epanning the Bast River, has been approved by the commis¬ sion appointed to examine it, and it is Baid that the work will bo at once commenced. The first operations will bo upon the Brook¬ lyn Bide, near the Pulton Ferry, whore excava¬ tions will bo made, ninety-seven feet, down to the rock upon which tho foundations of the abutment towers will be Lud. Digging on th© New York eide will immediately follow, near Pier-No. 29, East River. Rook is there found at one hundred and seven feet. The now bridgo will be a striking and graceful feature of the surrounding scenory. Its proportions will bo col ossal. The entire length will be 5862 feet, or about a milo and ono ninth ; but these figures may vary slightly when the termini become settled. Tho Now York ternvnus will either be on Chatham-street, opposite the Register's office, or in Chatham Square. The terminus in Bu oklyn will bornear tho junction of Main and Fulton-etreets. The structure will thus overtop many houses wh'cb are situated upon the slope towards the river'on each side. It will be suspended in tbrod openings, two of whiob will be on land, and one, of 1600 feet, over the water. The floor will be both fire and water p-oof, and will serve as root to the bouses and stores beneath. Its wnlth will be eighty feet within the the railings, equal to Broadway, and will be divided into five spaces, marked by six lines of iron trusses, independently of a side¬ walk of six feet on each side, As th© now bridge will weigh 8483 tons, being far more than twice as heavy and wide as any other structure of the kind in existence, the ¡ar upon it will bo scarcely perceptible, and the most violent winds will be powerless against it. [ts weight iu tho daytime will be perpetually uigmenledby more or less care, carts, animals, ind human beings. The maximum .weight of those, if covering the entire surface, would be 1270 tons, but an average of about 400 tons nay be calculated on. Two passenger ti ams )f cars upon steel rails will nm backward and forward over the bridge alternately. They will be attached to au endless wiro rope, propelled by a stationary engine on the Brooklyn Bid?. Their speed may be at ;wenty or thirty miles an hour without injury o tb© structure. The hoigth of the bridge ibovo high tide will be one Hundred and thirty 'eet, and vessels, the upper masts of which exceed that measurement, wdl be required to ewer them on passing, which can be easily lone. Prominent features of the work will be ho towers on eaoh side of the river. Their engtb at tho base will be one hundred and .,h ir ty-four" feet, abd extreme width fifty-six 'cot. Their heigth to the roof will be two hun- Ired and sixty-eight feet, at which point th© ength will be reduced to one hundred and wonty feet, and the width to forty feet. The estimai ^ cost of the bridge is to be 16,675,867, witufmt the purchase of real estate m either Bide. It will, perbapB, be nearer i7.000.000. Oí this $5,000,000 have been laised- 13,000,000 by the Brooklyn Common Counoil, 11,500,000 by that of New York, and $500,000 by »rivato subscription. When the work will have lecome far advanced, through the expenditure if the $5,000.000, it will be easy to issue bonds br tho remaining sum needed. Th© Union Ferry Company are now trans . Kurting 40,000,000 person t annually across the Sast River. EXIT DON MATT. Is Tired of Playing Correspondent. Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial, April 30.] Th oro ia so much interest confered about Vashington City, and so on the increase, that he day is not far distant when the best talent lonnected with journalism will be employed isre. The day of state capitals, and the in- «rest in their legislation, ha\ o passed uw&y- ii ore's the pity; and I doubt whether there viii ever he a return. A great empire is being milt up. and its power is gathered abont its tapi tal at Washington. All interests are affect- )d by its working, and all eyes are turned upon ts central city. A great good can be accom- >lished by having employed as correspondents he best talent and the highest character. 1 do lot mean to insinuât o that we have none of ¡hat sort. I mean only that we ought to have nore. Mr. George Alfred Townsend, General So'-uton, Sidney Andrews, and a corps of oth- jrs have done good work; but there is more to jo done and a wider field before us in which to iperate. It is not pleasant work. If one does his duty is a correspondent, he finds himself in a con- inual state of war. There is so muoh (hat is iorrupt, so much tbat is false, so many bad nen and such a host of weak ones, that the Korrespondent wbo looks only to his duty finds nmself regarded as ill-tempered, unreasona¬ ble and ugly. Then the correspondent feels a xaditionary contempt entertained by certain luuDui Jo hu Donkeys, whose presence in Con¬ gress is a casualty. They hasten to repress bis, and receive countenance in the repression rom pertain rats in the profession who dis¬ grace their class. If this stupid and extravagant business of publishing the Globe could be stopped, as it night to be, the legislative acts of our law¬ makers would be Bitted through the brains ol soires pondants, and the knaves would find an mhoalthy notoriety, and the fools no existence whatever outside the narrow circle of their own Mrotism. As it is, all And a common burial in :his dry husk of brain whioh is published ai such a fearful cost of money and reputation. My own experiences ss a correspondent draw bo a close. This is my last letter, and I am glad to be relieved. You will excuse tbs ego¬ tism that prompts me to speak of myself. It ii natural. I have had a realising sense of thc power of a little pen when aimed at scampi ind fools. "Proud I am, well may I be, to sse The men, not fearing God, afraid of me."

GRLT- BER.-To MT FRIENDS : It ls with extreme regret that I announce to my friends and patrons that cir¬ cumstances beyond my control compelled me to dis¬ continue my business at the old stand of H. M. POR¬ TER A Co., No. 236 King-street. Io making this announcement I beg to tender my sincere thanks for their liberal patronage and support, and trust that in my new position they will extend the same liberality. My limited capital, together with losses of the past three years, impaired my credit to such an extent that it was difficult to keep np a supply of goods without paying exorbitant prices, and I was last losing my health, business abd friends. In this extremity I appealed to Messrs. WM. 8. CORWIN A CO., and the. liberality which so character!zea that firm was at once extended to ma, and I am now en¬ abled to ofter better Inducements. Their extensive capital and experience permita them to offer a finer class of gooda at about the prices I had to pay, par¬ ticularly in Teaa, Champagnes, Clarets, Brandies, Ac. The combined effort of myself and former partner. Mr. JAMES 8. MARTIN, will be to please you, and we respectfully solicit a continuance ol your patronage; and wo pledge ourselves to give our personal and prompt attention to such. Again thanking you for past favors and indulgencies, I re¬ main your obedient servant, GEO. H. GRUBER, Care of WM, 8. CORWIN A Co., Na 275 King-street, Between Wentworth and Beaufain, April IA Wftnj And opposite Hasel-street. 4ST COMMON SENSE RULES THE MASS of the people, whatever the misnamed and misan¬ thropic philosophers may say to the contrary. Show them a good thing, let its merita be clearly demon¬ strated, and they will not hesitate to give it their most cordial patronage. The masaos have already ratified the judgment of a physician concerning tho virtues of HOSTETTEB'S BITTERS, aa may be aeon in the immense quantities of this medicine that are annually sold ia every section of the land. It ls sow recognized as greatly superior to all other remedies yet devised for diseases of the digestive organs, such ss diarrhoea, dys ntery, dyspepsia, and for the va¬ rious fevers that arise from derangement of those portions of the system. Hosteler's name ls rapidly becoming a household word, from Maine to Texas, from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific. These celebrated STOMACH BITTERS have doubtless cre¬ ated as much sensation in the community for their remarkable cures as any other medicine extant. It is a fact that in the minds of many penóos a preju¬ dice exists against what are called patent medicines ; but why should thia prevent yon resorting to an ar¬ ticle that has such an array ef testimony to support it stHOSTETTEBM STOMACH SITTERS. Physicians precrlbe it; why should you discajd lit Judges, usual¬ ly considered men of talent, have and do nee lt fn their families ; why should yea reject lt f Let not your prejudice usurp yonr reason, to the everlasting in¬ jury of your health. It ls the only preparation of the kind that io reliable in all oases, and lt ls there¬ fore worthy of the consideration of the afflicted. The BITTERS are pleasant to the taste, agreeable In their effects, and altogether valuable as a tonio or remedy for indigestion. April 24_oao_j a 4S-TO CONSUMPTIVES.-THE ADVER¬ TISER, having been restored to health is a fs~ weoka hy a very simple remedy, after having suffered several years with a severe long affection, and that dread Clsease consumption, ls anxious to make known to his feUow-suflerers the means of cure. To all who desire it, he wal send a copy of the pre¬ scription titled (free Of charge), with the directions for preparing and using the same, whloh they witt find a sure eure for Consumption, Asthma, Bronchi, fas, Ac. The object of the advertiser in sending the prescription ls to benefit the afflicted, and spread hi* formation Which he conceives to he Invaluable; and he hopes ertry sufferer will try his remedy, as it wftl cost them nothing end may prove a blessing.

VOLUME Vii.-NUMBER 1041. CHARLESTON, S. C., MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 26, 1869. SIX DOLLARS PER ANiviTrViBY TELEGRAPHTHE STATE SUPREME COURT.
[8PECIAL TKI.KOK.AVI TO THE NEW8 1COLUMBIA, April 84.-In tho Snpremo Court
to-day, General McGowan closed tbo case forhis side, in the great negro bond case. He wasanswered by Mr. Thompson on eoverai peints,which concluded the most interesting and im¬portant case of this term. General McGowanspoke some twelve hours against the validityot the bonds. Both sides of the question havebeen most thoroughly discussed, and it is pro¬bable that all similar casos will be continuedby agreement, so as to let tho decision in thiscase settle the principle involved.Owing to its great importance, the decision
in this case will not be rendered until the va¬cancy caused by Hoge's resignation is filled.
After some further unimportant business,tbo court Adjourned until Monday, when theftecond Circuit will bo peremptorily called.

THU LONDON PRESS ON THE CUBAN QUESTION-PROMPT ACTION OF THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT-SUCCESS OF THE SPANISH LOAN.LONDON, April 22.-The London Post of to¬
day-a conservative Whig organ-bas an ela¬borate editorial article on tho Cuban question,in which it mentions that it is asserted thatPresident Grant has a longiug eye upon Cuba,and would not be unwilling to distract the at¬tention of the people of the United Statesfrom watching the course of internal affairsby a war with some foreign power. A conflictwith Spain cannot leave any doubt respect¬ing the issue, unless England and Franceshould interfere. A blow dealt at CubaTTould be tantamount to a blow dealt towardsthe whole of the West Indies, and the acquisi¬tion of Cuba might be followed by that of Jamaica and Martinique. The same paper quotesthe recent acquisions of territory by the UnitedStates as a proof that it wants to acquire bypiecemeal all the possessions held by Europeanpowers in that latitude, and would naturallycommence by Cuba, because it belongs to theweakest of the powers bavins* settlements in theWest Indies. France and England will doubt¬less determine whether these designs againstCuba will be tolerated, or aid Spain in retainingher colony.The French presB has agitated the question
much in the same tenor, and special meetingsof the Freuch Cabinet were held on Tuesdayand Wednesday, which resulted in a specialenvoy being sent last night to London withdispatches referring to the present complica¬tion of events.The Spanish loan of £8,000,000 was laúnchod

of law, Iam of opinion that the first clause isimperative, and that all vessels from any portwhere, at the time of their depart ure, any in¬fectious, pestilential or contagions disease is
Erevailing, whether the crew and paaaengersave oeen healthy or not, must be quarantinedby this act for at least thirty days after arrival,
and at least twenty days after the cargoes havebeen discharged. The second clause,, in myjudgment, admits all from ports named in theseotion, and aro detained only for visitationand examination by the health officer, unlessthey shall have had on board during the voy¬age some case of disease in the foregoingclime, The third elrose, in regard to steamvessels, is entirely discretionary, unless theyshall have had on board during the passageany of t he prescribed diseases.Thus, gentlemen, yon have my interpreta¬tion of the quarantine laws, entrusted to me
for the protection of the community of Charles¬ton and the prevention by importation of allepidomio or contagions diseases.

FALSE-PACKED COTTON.-Yesterday, ft lot ofnineteen bales of cotton, from Abbeville, wasoffered to Messrs. Blakely & Gibbes. Mr.Gibbes sampled the cotton and after offering25¿ cents per pound for it, made a olose exami¬nation of it, and found eighteen bales of it tobe falsely packed, being filled in the middle ofthe bales with cotton seed and wet and rottencotton. On boring into the middle of the baleabushels of seed were found. The young manwho had ohargo of thc cotton asserts very pos¬itively thftt the fraud WAS entirely unknown tohim. and that the packing was done on hismother's plantation by the freedmen, who hadau interest in the crop of one-htlf. The mer¬chants and committee of the Board of Tradehave, we leam, determined not to prosecute theparty in this oase before giving him » ohancoto olear bimaelf.-Columbia Phoenix, 2kh.
-Several recent events in England are lead¬ing to a largely increased emigiAtion fro ai thatcountry to this. The most important of theseare the closing of two great dock-yards by theadmiral ty, and the long strike at neston. Theworkmen in both places are coming or aro pre¬paring to come to this country in very largenumbers, «nd they will be of the bestfelass ofemigrants, men skilled in their work. Thepresent condition of the cotton manufacture orof the shipbuilding business ls not such as toafford any very good groónos for the beliefthat the men will fled employment proutptlv,but it is apparent to All who read tb« descrip¬tion of the state of affairs in manufacturingtowns where work ls alack or wholly suspended. that the exehange ot England for Americawill not be for tho worse. If these twobranchesof trade should improve in activity the addi¬tional supply of workmen would be greatly toour advantage.
AFFAIRS IN THJE STATE.
Greenville.Tho Mountaineer says : "During tho first
part of this woek a vf fy heavy ruin foll here,doing some little injury by 'waBhing.' Thofruit crop, we are glad to be able to state, wasnot entirely destroyed by the recent frosts, al¬though the supply will be much shortened.
Georgetown.The Times says : "After a long biege of dryweather we were gladdened by a Bhowor efrain
on Tuesday, whioh although not very heavy,will be of great advantage to nnr fields andgardens. Our plantéis are busy Bowing theirseed and are much cheered by the springweather, which is at present of delightful tem¬perature."
Edgefield.Thursday night last, Simkin's mill, in Edge-field County, below Beech Island, was entirelydestroyed by fire. The mill waa used as a
grist and saw mill, and the same water powerrunning a cotton gin. Near tho mill is a atorowhere were congregated a crowd of men, andit is thought the fire originated from a matchbeing thrown among some loose cotton, whichcommunicated to the null. The loss of thomill alone is about $5000, whioh is a sad calam¬ity to the neighborhood. Besides the burningof the mill, a quantity of corn and cotton wasalso deatroyed.
Barnwell.The Barnwell Sentinel comes to us enlargedand clad in a now dress.The Journal says : " The protracted droughtfrom which we have suffered for many weeks
was terminated on last Tuesday by a most re¬freshing rain. Tho gardens look fully a hun¬dred per cent, better, and the young corn islooking green and promising." The next sales-day will lake place at Barn¬well, after which the county offices will bo re¬moved to Blackville, the County Commission- | jors having routed the Methodist Parsonage fortheir accommodation. The Methodist OJurehwill be used for the courthouse."
haareni.There was quite a spirited agricultural meet¬
ing at Laurensville on Monday last.Tho dwelling house of Mrs. Mary A. Qore, in
Laurens District, was burnt on the night of iMaroh 19th. Tho Bleeping inmates narrowlyescaped, and almost the entire contents of thehouse were consumed. A negro man and wo¬man, husband and wife, (tho last but recentlyliving on the plaoe) have been arrested and arein jail, charged with applying the torch.The Laurenaville Herald says : "Since ourlast abundant rains. have visited all parts of
the district, to the advantage of the growingwheat and oat crops, which were beginning tosuffer from tbe cold, dry, windy weather whichhas prevailed for a month. We may IIDW,re¬gard the frosty king as abdicated and the floralqueen as fairly enthroned, and putting on herroyal and graceful regalia for the sea jon."The name. paper notices the death, on the20th inst-, of a little girl, agod about ten years,by the name of Lillie Harris, daughter of MajorN. S. Harris, near Clinton, in this district.The little girl, we learn, was caught by a fallingtree near her father's residence, during a gale,and crushed instantly to death, it being neces¬sary to cut the tree in two before the body ofthe unfortunate little creature could be extri¬cated.
Orangebnrg,A colored boy by the name of Edward Black
was found dead a few days since, in the field otMr. Paul C. Htroman. The finding of the cor¬oner's inquest was-died from neglect andhunger. He wis a boy of unsound mind, andno one knew that be was about the premisesuntil discovered by Mr. Stroman in going overhis fields thc day before the inquest. He wasthen dead, and by appearances, moat havebeen dead for several days.The Orangeburg News give the following ac- [count of a bloody murder in the Fork: "Onlast Monday morning, about six o'clock, as I \Mr. W. L. W. Riley and two Colored laborers twere making arrangements, in his horse lot,to oommenco the week's woik, two white men, 11Hansford S. Porter and MlBedge Porter* ula 11brother, residents of the Fork, entered the lotunexpectedly to Mr. Riley. Shortly after theirarrival Mr. James W. Jordan, an employee ofMr. Riley's, also came in, and spoke to the Por¬ters, Bhaking hands with Hansford. MilledgePorter had in bis hands a double barrel gun,and told Jordan that he had come to arresthim and take him to. Orangeburg, at tbe sametime pointing his gun at him. Jordan.re¬marked, 'Don't reckon, but I surrender.' Jor¬dan then took Riley aside and asked him whatit meant. Riley said he did not know; ask himfer his authority. They then stepped back towhere the Porters were standing and Jordanasked Porter to let him see his authority forthe arrest. Jordan and Riley both were stand¬ing between the Porters. Milledge Porter re¬plied that he 'did not have any.' Jordan turn¬ed and faced Riley, who was stooping over alittle, getting something out of his pocket,when Hansford S. Porter presented a sixshooter, fired over Riley's shoulder, theball striking Jordan centrally iu the breast,and entering the right cavity of the heart.Jordan fell in the arms of Mr. Riley, and diedin about fifteen minutes. The Porters thendeliberately bade good morning and walked off.At the crack of the pistol the colored men left,leaving Mr. Riley alone with the dying man,and having no weapon of any description atband, and the Porters being fully armed andapparently desperate, he was powerless to ar¬rest them. Sometime sir oe, we gave an ac- i ]count of the shooting of Mr. John Porter, a j <brother of Hansford and Milledge, by Larti-gue, in the Fork, and it is supposed -that thePorters believed Jordan assisted Lartigue inthat transaction. The ball that killed Jordanpassed over the shoulder of Mr. Riley, takingtbe lint from his coat, and the powder burninghis neck; in the meantime if Mr. Riley hadstraightened up he would have received thediscbarge himself, and we would have had tochronicle also the death, perhaps, of this esti¬mable gentleman, as Milledge Porter soodready with Ins double-ban-el gun levelled toshoot Jordan it Hansford failed. The coroner'sinquest announced the deed a cold bloodedmurder. The Porters, as yet, have not beenarrested. Mr. Jordan was the son-in-law ofMr. Daniel Young, and we hear, an honest,hard-working man. He leaves a young n iieto monrn his untimely fate."
FATAL KEROSENE ACCIDENT.
The New Orleans Picayune gives the shock¬ing details of the death, from a kerosene Umpexplosion, of Mrs. Benedict, the wife of awealthy Louisiana planter, residing a shortdistance below New Orleans :Mr. Benedict, her husband, had left the plan¬tation for a visit to the oity upon business, andMrs. Benedict, with her little babe, had just re¬
tired to rest for the night when tbe accidentoccurred. A coal oil lamp was burning upon astandby the bedside, and when tbe lady hadseen that her little one was tocked in andcared for, she leaned forward and with'herhand upon the screw of the lamp turned itdown, at the same time blowing down theohimney to effectually extinguish tho lingeringflame. In au instant the blaze whioh had beenforced down into tho lamp ignited tho oilresulting in an explosion, the barning fluidcovering ibo night clothes of the lady andspreading itself over the bed. Mrs, Bonodiot'sscreams attracted the attention of » norse intax adjoining apartment, who rushing in seizedtbe btbe, whose night clotho« were «Iso onfire, and left theroom in a state of terror whiohseemed to have paralysed her. Mrs. Benedio*,with great presence of mind, wrapped the bedclothes about her to suffocate the fire, hutfinding that this would not do she left thé oedand room and ran down a flight of stairs intothe parlor, where abeendeavored to s ide thoflames with the rugs and other wooled articlesehe could get hold of. Still .the fire demottclung to her, literally scorching her to deathby inches, and at last, io tbe frenzy of despairshe lashed from the noose out into th« night,and across the field, pass the sugar houseto the dwelling of the overseer, who,aroused by her oríes, opened the doorand hurried her into his wife's apartments.The poor lady, around whom linens woro quick¬ly thrown, 'saturated with oil, waa one livingmass of burns; bot for all this, and feelingthat she had but a little while to live, shetalked as calmly as she wan went to do beforetbe terrible accident had happened. The over¬seer, at her direction, left at once for thehones, and snooeeded in cutting oat tba fireind securing certain valuable papou, theplaoe of keeping of whioh had been detailed tohim by Mrs. Benedict, with a calmness whichwaa wonderful in one writhing tn the agónicaof death. She lingered bot a few boors. Inperson, Mrs. Benedict waa quite portly, butwaa .withal a woman of exceeding grace andbeauty. She was well known tn Louisiana aaMrs. Moneare, Mr. Benedict being her secondhatband.
THE EASTElVEE BRIDGE.
Tho Greatest Project of «He Age.
The project of Mr. Röchling, the fainonu en¬gineer and suspension bridge builder, for unit¬ing New York and Brooklyn* ny epanning theBast River, has been approved by the commis¬sion appointed to examine it, and it is Baidthat the work will bo at once commenced.The first operations will bo upon the Brook¬
lyn Bide, near the Pulton Ferry, whore excava¬tions will bo made, ninety-seven feet, down tothe rock upon which tho foundations of theabutment towers will be Lud. Digging onth© New York eide will immediately follow, nearPier-No. 29, East River. Rook is there foundat one hundred and seven feet. The now bridgowill be a striking and graceful feature ofthe surrounding scenory. Its proportions willbo col ossal. The entire length will be 5862 feet,or about a milo and ono ninth ; but these figuresmay vary slightly when the termini becomesettled. Tho Now York ternvnus will either beon Chatham-street, opposite the Register'soffice, or in Chatham Square. The terminusin Bu oklyn will bornear tho junction of Mainand Fulton-etreets. The structure will thusovertop many houses wh'cb are situated uponthe slope towards the river'on each side. Itwill be suspended in tbrod openings, two ofwhiob will be on land, and one, of 1600 feet,over the water. The floor will be both fire andwater p-oof, and will serve as root to the bousesand stores beneath. Its wnlth will be eightyfeet within the the railings, equal to Broadway,and will be divided into five spaces, marked bysix lines of iron trusses, independently of a side¬walk of six feet on each side,As th© now bridge will weigh 8483 tons, beingfar more than twice as heavy and wide as anyother structure of the kind in existence, the
¡ar upon it will bo scarcely perceptible, and themost violent winds will be powerless against it.[ts weight iu tho daytime will be perpetuallyuigmenledby more or less care, carts, animals,ind human beings. The maximum .weight ofthose, if covering the entire surface, would be1270 tons, but an average of about 400 tonsnay be calculated on. Two passenger ti ams)f cars upon steel rails will nm backward andforward over the bridge alternately. Theywill be attached to au endless wiro rope,propelled by a stationary engine on theBrooklyn Bid?. Their speed may be at;wenty or thirty miles an hour without injuryo tb© structure. The hoigth of the bridgeibovo high tide will be one Hundred and thirty'eet, and vessels, the upper masts of whichexceed that measurement, wdl be required toewer them on passing, which can be easilylone. Prominent features of the work will beho towers on eaoh side of the river. Theirengtb at tho base will be one hundred and.,h irty-four" feet, abd extreme width fifty-six'cot. Their heigth to the roof will be two hun-Ired and sixty-eight feet, at which point th©ength will be reduced to one hundred andwonty feet, and the width to forty feet.The estimai^ cost of the bridge is to be
16,675,867, witufmt the purchase of real estatem either Bide. It will, perbapB, be neareri7.000.000. Oí this $5,000,000 have been laised-13,000,000 by the Brooklyn Common Counoil,11,500,000 by that of New York, and $500,000 by»rivato subscription. When the work will havelecome far advanced, through the expenditureif the $5,000.000, it will be easy to issue bondsbr tho remaining sum needed.Th© Union Ferry Company are now trans .

Is Tired of Playing Correspondent.Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial, April 30.]Thoro ia so much interest confered about
Vashington City, and so on the increase, thathe day is not far distant when the best talentlonnected with journalism will be employedisre. The day of state capitals, and the in-«rest in their legislation, ha\ o passed uw&y-iiore's the pity; and I doubt whether thereviii ever he a return. A great empire is beingmilt up. and its power is gathered abont itstapital at Washington. All interests are affect-)d by its working, and all eyes are turned uponts central city. A great good can be accom->lished by having employed as correspondentshe best talent and the highest character. 1 dolot mean to insinuât o that we have none of¡hat sort. I mean only that we ought to havenore. Mr. George Alfred Townsend, GeneralSo'-uton, Sidney Andrews, and a corps of oth-jrs have done good work; but there is more tojo done and a wider field before us in which toiperate.It is not pleasant work. If one does his duty
is a correspondent, he finds himself in a con-inual state of war. There is so muoh (hat isiorrupt, so much tbat is false, so many badnen and such a host of weak ones, that theKorrespondent wbo looks only to his duty findsnmself regarded as ill-tempered, unreasona¬ble and ugly. Then the correspondent feels axaditionary contempt entertained by certainluuDui Johu Donkeys, whose presence in Con¬gress is a casualty. They hasten to repressbis, and receive countenance in the repressionrom pertain rats in the profession who dis¬grace their class.If this stupid and extravagant business of
publishing the Globe could be stopped, as itnight to be, the legislative acts of our law¬makers would be Bitted through the brains olsoirespondants, and the knaves would find anmhoalthy notoriety, and the fools no existencewhatever outside the narrow circle of their ownMrotism. As it is, all Anda common burial in:his dry husk of brain whioh is published aisuch a fearful cost of money and reputation.My own experiences ss a correspondent drawbo a close. This is my last letter, and I amglad to be relieved. You will excuse tbs ego¬tism that prompts me to speak of myself. It iinatural.

Io making thisannouncement I beg to tender my sincere thanksfor their liberal patronage and support, and trustthat in my new position they will extend the sameliberality. My limited capital, together with lossesof the past three years, impaired my credit to suchan extent that it was difficult to keep np a supply ofgoods without paying exorbitant prices, and I waslast losing my health, business abd friends. In thisextremity I appealed to Messrs. WM. 8. CORWIN ACO., and the. liberality which so character!zea thatfirm was at once extended to ma, and I am now en¬abled to ofter better Inducements.

Showthem a good thing, let its merita be clearly demon¬strated, and they will not hesitate to give it theirmost cordial patronage. The masaos have alreadyratified the judgment of a physician concerning thovirtues of HOSTETTEB'S BITTERS, aa may be aeonin the immense quantities of this medicine that areannually sold ia every section of the land. It ls sowrecognized as greatly superior to all other remediesyet devised for diseases of the digestive organs, suchss diarrhoea, dys ntery, dyspepsia, and for the va¬rious fevers that arise from derangement of thoseportions of the system. Hosteler's name ls rapidlybecoming a household word, from Maine to Texas,from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific. Thesecelebrated STOMACH BITTERS have doubtless cre¬ated as much sensation in the community for theirremarkable cures as any other medicine extant.
