To understand the policy and object of the war
lately undertaken by the British againa. Persia, and
which. according to the most recent accounts, has
been SO energeteally pushed as to lead to submis-
sion on the part of the Shah, it is necessary to take
sight retrospect Of Persian affairs. The
Persian dynasty, founded in 1902 BY lsnael
who claimed TO BE- descended from the ancient Per
sian kings, after maintaining for more than two
centuries the power and dignity of a great State,
received. about 1920 severe shock in the rebel
lion of the Affghans nhabtDg its eastern provinces
Western Persia was invaded by them, and two
Afphsn princes succeeded in keeping themselves
for few years on the Persian throne. They were
however, speedily expelled By the fam'us Nadir'
acting at first in the capacity Of General to the Per-
sian claimant. Afterwsrd be assumed the crown
himself, and not only reduced the rebelious
Affqhans, but by bis famous invasion OF India con-
trbuted much to that dIsorganiza,on of the dscin-
ing Mogu empire, which opened tie way for the
rise Of the British power in India.
Amid the anarchy that ensued in Persia after the
death of Nadr Shah in Ia, there sprang ap, IN

johnson in his message to the Legislature recon-
mends the payment OF the State debt, and opposes
repudAt6u, in which it is believed he expresses the
general sentiment of the citizens Of California. 1t
is stated that the election of United States Senators
was the reeult of bargain between Broderich
and Gwio, by which the latter agrees to forego all
claims to influence in the Federal appointments.
On the 9th an earthquake occurred which was felt
throughout the entire State, but no serious results
followed. The Supreme Court has decided the tax
upon Chinese immigrants to be null and void. The
news from the mines is encouraging. The vote for
Senator for the long term stood: Brodercs, AZ;
Stanley, IA; CoffrOth, IL; Weller |; Bynun, !.
For the short term it was: Gwin, 81; Crabb, IL;

The Niagara had not been heard from at Halifax
last night when telegraphiDg closed.

The arrival Of the George Law last evening from
Aspinwall has put us in possession of some impor-
tant intelligence respecting the position of Walker
in Nicaragua. II seems that the Allies hold the
Western as well as Eastern terminus Of the Transit
Route, and that when the Sierra Nevada arrived a.
San Juan del Sur, she was not able to land her pas
sengers, and had to take them back to San Fran
cisco. Walker is thus entirely surrounded and cut
of 6om supplies as we'll as reeniorcements. It's,
perhaps, possible that the considerable body of re-
cruits who have lately gone out to him from this
country may succeed in forcing passage up the
river. but we do not believe it. HIS position is
constantly becoming more desperate.

during the night he heard no noise. The testimony
of the four witnesses who heard the cry of murder
at lOs O'Clock, not alone fixes the time for the deed,
as the coldness and rgidity of the corpse and the
dryness of the blood with which its clothes had been
saturated, proved in the opinion of the medical men
then called in, that the murder bad been committed
at about that time.
The time of the murder having been established
ssthat when the Cunninghams, Eckel and Snod-
grass testified that they were just about retiring or
had Just retired for the night added to their posi-
tive statement that they in the house. and probably
awske, had not heard the cry Of murder, which
others in the street and in house opposite had
heard, at once cast suspicion upon them and led to
an investigation of their relations to the murdered
man, it being reasonably presumed thai no person
outside the house could have committed the act,
with the attendant cutlery and fall of the body on
the floor, without being heard by them, as they
must then have been awake. This hypothesis at
the opening of the investigation took possession Of
the Coronsrs mind; and the primary, and indeed
the almost sole object of the thirteen days in-
Quest, has been to fix the guilt on these parties.
What this proof amounts TO we msy now consider.
Within few hours after the murder was dscoy-
cred on Saturday morning Mrs. Cunningham gave
information that she had on the evening of the 18th
of October last been secretly married to DR.. Bur

ing one witness, and the clergyman servant woman

at the house of the clergman Mrs. Cunningham

THE CASH SYSTEM.

This is our last issue for the present year, and
in the beginning of the new it would be altogether
agreeable to adopt the cash system entirely. Ar
ter reading the following testimony of the Press,
it will appear so reasonable that few will fail to
approve our course The carelessness of suhscri-
hers and the great difficulty of ofcoecting small &C
counts, strongly recommend the adoption OF the
cash system to every publisher of a paper. Hear
what the Carolinian says of itself and others:
"The editor of the Augusta Chronicle lately
gave notice to his subscribes to 'pny up or quH.
and that in thirty days, if not paid, their names
would he erased. He says:
THE thirty days have now elapsed, and We shall
proceed to purge our list by erasing the names OF
all those to whom the circular was sent, who have
not responded. This is. therefore, the last paper
that will be sent to their address; and we desire
to notify those who will be thus erased, that ms
soon as we can possibly do so, we shall make up
their accounts and publish n complete list Of them,
for their information this course will save US
the expense of enclosing their bills second time
by mail
The Carolnian says:
We give our brother our experience in the cash
syste2u When the fire took place in December,
1854, which swept our Office and contents, and
entailed upon US heavy debt, we had on our sub
scripton books about $1,000 due. We sent ont
various circulars, making the most earnest ap-
peals to our delinquent subscribers to pay up their
Just debts We sent circulars to postmasters ask
ing them to collect for US and 10 retain MS COM
mission what they thought right. Our collections
from those books amounted to about 81 000.-
Finding this result of the credit system to he ru
inous, we decided % adopt the cash system, and
to send no paper by mail unless paid for in ad-
vance We struck from our list 1,G00 names, in
arrears and we have saved large amount of pa
per, presswork gas, envelopes, labor of the nail
er, &c., sc. The only regret that we have in this
matter is that we did not commence sooner. Some
grumbling occurred but we believe our subscri
bers are all reconciled to the value Of the system.
and our papers are now successfully conducted on
the only footing for a newspaper, the CASH sYs-
TEN.
The Southern Baptist says:
Newspaper subscriptions are infallible tests
Of mans moral honesty. They will. sooner OF ii
ter discover the man. II he is dishonest he will
cheat the printer in some way-says he has paid
what he has not-decares he has receipt some
where or sent the money and it was lost in the mall
or will take the paper one year and then refuse
to pay for it on the ground that he did not sub.
scribe for it-or will move off and leave the paper
coming to the Office he left. Thousands Of pro-
fessed Christians are dishonest, and the printers
book will tell fearful tales iu the financial judg
ment" "

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ~, 1891.
ROBERT ]. WALKER has at last resigned, and
the papers are to-day full of his pronunciamento.
The great burthen Of his argument is popular SOW
ereignty. the right of the people to govern them
selves. He is absurd enough to think that the
North will take him up for the Presidency. But
he counts without his host ; he has made his last
shuttle on the political board, and departs forever
into that purga tory of ambitious men-private
life. Let him 60. He was political charatan
not without talents, but certainly without princi
ples 1t is said his relations with the Admins.
tration are less hostile than Judge DoUGLAss.-
The Administration is willing to let WALKER 60
gently, but it is said they wish to "yerk" Doud.
LASS "under the fifth rib" WALKER is in nobody's
way. DOUGLASS is, hence the difference. DoUG-
LASS has interposcd almost insurmountable obsta.
cles between himself and the Presidency. The
Black Republicans hate him worse than they do
"hel-pans,' and though they may use him, will
never enrol under his banner. The South will
henceforth look upon him with suspicion.
Congress urgently for authority to issue $50 O,0OO,
900 in Treasury notes. 1t is matter of course
that the measure should pass. But it would have
been we'll if o recommendation of great economi-
zing and reductions could have accompanied this
demand for Treasury notes. But this seems nev-
er to have occurred to the Secretary. Indeed,
economy is not popular here. The SOUTHEASTERN
States Il sh for high tariff; the Northwestern
States wish o large surplus, because they want
their rivers and harbors repaired, &c. Therefore,
an economical Government is not in as much de-
mand here, as might be imagined. This Govern
ment will never be we'll administered until we
have direct taxation. Then each member will rep
resent a ta1-paying constituency, and economy
will be the "watchword and reply"
We have an Educational Convention in full
blast here now. l imagine it will do no harm.
The Representatives are in their new Hall. 1t
ed 1t is too large Otherwise as hall, saying
nothing of the decorations, which are rather gau-
dy, it's we'll enough. But the hall is very large.
and great deal of noise and confusion generally
going on, makes it still difficult for the speakers to
be heard.
saw General HENS1NGsES in the street to-day.
He is fine specimen of the soldier of fortune
He is tall, martial looking, and is here sounding
about to see what can be done to help WALKER in
Nicaragua. Great interest is felt by Southern
men in WALKER. The man WALKER may not sue
ceed but the cause must ultimately do so. 1t is
the march of destiny. The Central American
States, stable and prosperous under Anglo, Saxon
influence, in sympathy with the South and her in
stitutions, will be an immense stride in the right
direction. CATAWBA.

is an Englishman, and quite young, not being
more than twen,y-one years of age, but he is an
adept in crime, and has probably followed it from
boy. He forged several checks on banks in this
city and Columbia, several of which we're found
upon his person.
Our citizens were aroused from their quiet
slumbers ar half past FIVE o'clock on Sunday
morning by the startling cry Of fire, the rattle Of
engines and the ringing Of bells. On repairing to
the spot it was found to proceed from a brick
| building, No 81. Market street, owned by C. J.
BEcEMAy, and used as grain store and grist
mill. The fireman were promptly on the spot,
and the consequent rapid spread Of the flames, it
was found to be impossible to save the building,
or any of the stock By the extraordinary exer-
tions Of the fremen, the conAagration was con-
fined to the locality of its origin, and the sur
rounding buildings were saved from sharing q
common fate. The building and stock were
insured for four thousand five hundred dollars but
which will not be sufficient to cover the loss sus-
taned.
WAuoH's splendid panorama of Italy will be
opened this evening for exhibition at Hibernian
Hall. 1t is as much admired for the truth and
life likeness Of its sketches, as for its merits as
fine painting, both of which combined have
rendered it exceedingly popular wherever it has
been exhibited. 1t will doubtless have a good
run in Charleston, and receive that patronage
and encouragement which its merits deserve
MABIE's Circus also opens to night on tie Citadel
Green, and will draw immensely among the
Juveniles and colored people, as circuses and
negro minstrels always do 1t is astonishing in
what different channels the tastes of the people
wllrun.
The benefit Of JOHN DYArr, the accomplished
actor and celebrated ragsdienne, is announced for
this evening, and as he is very popular, both as
man and an actor, he will more than likely have
a crowded house. He appears as OTHELLo, as.
sisted by Mr.. and Mrs. MARcHAyT as Iago and
Desdemona.
