THE REPORTED ACTION OF THE NEW YORK
WHOLESALE DRY GOODS HoUsEs.-The New
York Journal of Commerce, alludlng editorlally
to the paragraph stating that the leading dry
goods houses Of that city had resolved to ex-
tend no credit in future to Southern dealers,
says:
It turns out now that the representation is
wholly false. We have inquired personally of
"the leading dry goods firms Of New York,
and they declare that they never heard of this
meeting until this paragraph was published,
and that they propose to make no change what
ever in relation to their custom in the Southern
States. The leading iobbers in this city are
doubtless divided in their personal relations to
the two great political parties; but there are
few Of them, we have reason to know, who AIRY
their partisanship 30 far as to interfere with
the management Of their business upon sound
mercantile principles. They invite custom
from every section, and will sell every appli-
cant in good credit without regard 10 his polit-
ical bias. So far from any unusual restrictions,
there has been an extension Of last seasons
credit to worthy Southern applicants, very
natural result as the two sections become more
intimately connected.

DEATH OF PROMINENT NEW ORLEANS EDI-
ToR.-We have already noticed the death OF
MIR. W. q. @. King, chief editor OF the New.
Orleans Times. He died on Thursday last at
Pass Christian, Mississippi. His disease was
an incurable cancer on the face. The New
Orleans Picayune says:
Mr.. King was native Of ofPennsylvanis, born
October 23d. 1924, and had consequently
reached nearly his 45th year. He had robust
constitution and uniform good health in most
respects. Had not this disease mysteriously at.
tackled him and eaten out Of him his ie he
seemed year ago to have before him as many
years as be has left behind. MIR. King was q
printer by profession, and must have come
here fifteen or eighteen years ago. He worked
as compositor for long time on the Plea
yune, and went thence to the Crescent to be its
foreman, in which position he remained until
that paper was suppressed under Butler. His
energy and persevering character, and his
good management and capacity as printer,
caused him, when the Times was established
in this city in 1864, to be made partner in
and soon to be the chief manager OF that news
paper, whose great success and widespread
influence rendered him so well known through
out the country. Towards the close Of his life,
MIR. King was received. by baptism, into the
bosom Of the Roman Catholic Church, and
died in the midst of it's consolatory hopes. He
leaves wife and several children, with whom
we heartily condole in this, their affection.

A COLONY OF ARMENIAN IMMIdHaNTs FOB
THE SoUrH-An Armenian gentleman from
Constantinople has arrived here with view Of
finding a location IN the Southern States for
COLONY Of two hundred Armenian families. He
Yesterday addressed number Of his country
men who are resident here. He alluded to the
considerable body of Armenians at Constanti-
nople who entertained q desire to find land OF
religious liberty, where they might settle, and
said that the American missionaries had point
ed to the Southern States Of America as the
promised land, and also as region having a
climate similar to that of the countries border
ing on the Mediterranean. This is novel
and desirable element in the emigration to
America. In race, the Armenians are Japhetic;
in faith they are Christian, but OF o confession
that differs both from the Protestant and Cath
olic, though it resembles the latter IL many
respects Though the Armenians have long
been subject to the Turks and Persians, they
are a people of remarkable enterprise and in
telligence, with valuable old literature and
many eminent scholars. They have in times
past established colonies in various parts OF
Southern Europe, and they are numerous IN
the cities OF European Turkey. II the first
colony to this country prove a success. as we
trust it may, we shall doubtless in time see
several thousand Amenians follow it from
Constantlnople. They can find in Virginia,
South Carolina or Georgia, localities that offer
them every opportunity for freedom, happl-
ness, health and pecuniary success.-Nsao YorE

The RIoE CROP IN GEoRalA.-The sayan-
nah Republican, of the 1st, says:
We were presented with several specimens
Of very fine rice last week by Mr.. Thomas l..
Harrison, the product of his fine plantation on
Argyll, Island, and under pressure Of business,
have unintentionally omitted to mention its
receipt. Among tho samples was some white
rice, which it was expected would yield fifty
bushels to the acre. The hands are now at
work cutting this rice. There were also some
superb stalks Of red and gold rice. which will
be ready to cut next week. MIR. Harrison re-
ports his crop as excellent, and the negroes
are working well, no Dead Haul rice birds be-
ing permitted to intrude their obnoxious pres
ence. We also re"ivsd some splendid speci-
mems Of the golden rice from MIR. Keller, over
seer on Captain George Screyen's plantation on
the Ogeechee, twenty-one miles from the city
The samples lef in our Office are veil worthy
of inspection. The stalks measure seven feet
nine inches in height from tip to tip. The
kernels will average two hundred and fifty to
the head. The rice crops along the OSeechee
are reported looking splendidly, and wherever
Bradley, the incendiary, ls kept aloof, the
hands are working admirably. Captain Bar
rett, of the sloop Fleet, reports that on Satur-
day last the work ofcutting the new rice crop
commenced on the Ogeechee-the crops pro-
missing excellent.

suredy broken ND his haunt Of vice, whatever
else may be said of him or his motive, or his
purpose or intention. He put in his appear
ance at the Howard Mission yesterday, and
after the service announced, in the presence OF
the multitude, that his house (the Water
street dance house) had been closed on Satur,
day night, and, so help him God. 1t should
never be opened again. He expressed grief
for his past misdeeds, and determination TO
live so that he might retrieve them. After his
place was closed at midnight, OF sa:urday,
prayer meeting was held in the very room
where so many scenes of dissipation had taken
place. We give our word OF encouragement to

WHAT KILLED THE GREcIAN BEND."-The
STOPPING posture, styled the "Grecian Bend"
renewedby the watering place fashionables
this season, is not practiced as much as il was.
We hear from Saratoga that it has been killed
off there quite efectually by satire and bur-
lesque. John G. SAKE, the poet-punster, who
has been summering at Saratoga and writing
letters to the Boston Post, first got the laugh
on the fashion by calling it the "Colic Stoop,
and recommending the essence Of peppermint
as remedy; but the quietus was put 10 it by
the work of clever German Sihouettes artist
named Schmidt who made such droll, yet
truthful representations of the ladies affected
by the "bend" that all Saratoga was IN roar
oflaughter, and his silhouettes went of like
hot cakes for fifty cents each. The ladiesSre-
monstrated and the hotel keepers attempted to
stop his busy scissors, and succeeded, but the
photographers reproduced his pictures and
they sold by thousands, doing the business
for the Grecian Bend most effectually. SAKE
says of this absurd fashion:
II see that writer in the New York Times
defends the usage in question on the assump-
tion-slim ground enough, one. would say,
granting it TO be true-that it is the same
thing as the 'Grecian Bend Of thirty years ago,
which originated (so he tells us) with GER
tain grcceful English Duchess several genera
tlons before. However charming her grace
may have been in spite Of an affectation Of this
sort, the real origin of the 'Grecian Bend is as
patent as its adoption by fashionable women is
ridiculous. Ladies who have justly admired
the gracefully STOPPING posture Of the Medician
Venus and other nude figures, from the hands
of the Greek sculptors have failed to reflect
that the curve in those beautiful forms is grad
ual and unbroken by corsets at the waist; and,
above all, that their stooplng posture is natu-
raj, and therefore graceful, attempt to hide
what they can Of their nakedness. Clothed
and in her right mind no sensible woman will
think Of initiating in public the shrinking stoop
Of conscious lndecency."

The RICE Csor.-The high price of rice has
plant this grain, and there will be an abuud-
ance oft produced. MIR. Frederick Jones, a
planter near our town, has most lu1uriant
crop of rice on piece Of bay land, which is
supposed to be equal to the best low country
rice. Col. W. 8. Mullins has fifty acres Of his
rich back swamp in rice. MIR. James Watst
has rice crop which is said to be as good as
names which are mentioned to show that the
lovers Of rice will be able next year to use it,
without paying the enormous price Of twelve
cents per pound. It is fact well proved, that
rice can be pro6tably made on the uplands of
the State. High land that produces not more
than six bushels ofcoln per acre, will produce
fifteen in rice.-Afdrion Crescent.

freshing. I acknowledge my inability to give
correct idea Of his whole speech, but the fol
lowing are few of his expressions: 1T seems
like de people Nv Charleston suffer more dan de
rest Nv US because dey are nearer dc lea coast
De speaker which hab JUS taken bis seat, il
seem to me, from de Charleston members, say
dat all dere civilized men hab been lected te
come up here, and dey ain't lef muffin behind
but savages. I tink de peoples of Sumter is
suffering, and dat de law ought to rquira dat
an election be held dere. AS de veto Nv de
Guberner hab said, ef de election we're provi-
ded generly fur de whole State, there is moi
one genelman on dis floor what would hab hisi.
tate one moment ter vote fur de bill Ihope ii
will pass jis as de Guberner hab vetoed it.'
Lee, Mckinley and Boseman, allcolored, Of
Charleston, spoke for the bill after this, and
Boseman called the previous question to
prevent any more speaking on the othel ide,
but the Governors veto and the speeches OF
DeLarge, Purvis and Burrell James had killed
the bill. Instead of having the requisite ma
jority of two-thirds in its favor to enable it to
pass over the veto, it actually had majority
against it. The voee standing on the passage
of the bill, ayes Al, nays 43.
In the Senate, the proposition Of Nash, Max
well and Wimbush, all colored, to add ]. s. G..
Richardson, the late State reporter to the COM
mission to codify the laws, brought forth an
expression from Jillson 10 the effect that
somebody had evidently been about with an
axe to grind. Nash replied, sarc,stically, that
it was very evident from the bill itself, that
somebody did have an axe to grind, and that no
less person than the chairman of the COM
mittee that reported the bill. he was already
a Judge, and now he wanted to make himself
commissioner to codify the laws.
The discussion on this subject lasted till the
adjournment, but an episode that occurred is
worthy of mention. In the course Of the dis
cussicn some carpet-bagger made an assertion
that South Caroline was always behind the age
in her laws. This raised the dander OF Rainey,
colored member, who at once launched into q
panegyric OF the legal system Of the State, pay
ing glowing tribute to her Judiciary, and
declaring that, with the exception of her slave
laws and negro code, South Carolina had a
system Of law which, for wisdom, iberahty
and enlightenment, would compare tavorably
with that Of any State in the Union. Blood
will out if it is mixed.
1 forgot to mention in it's proper place the
significance Of the resignation of Lewie, of
Lexington, from the House. He came here o
Radical, and has resigned disgusted.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DAILY NEws.]
In the House to-day the Judiciary Commit
toe reported substitute for the Senate bill Ton
the codifcation Of the laws Of the State, the
name Of Corbin as the Commissioner being
omitted.
Resolutions congratulating the Republicans
Of Vermont on their victory in the State elec-
tions were laid on the table.
A bill to provide for the election Of Presiden'
tial electors and members Of Congress was
passed.
A bill to regulate elections was passed, with
a stupid amendment to prevent the selling or
giving away liquor on election days. The eff
tect is that Il an election is held in Anderson,
no liquor must be drunk in Charleston.
The bill to close the operations of the Bank
Of the State has passed both houses, and
awaits the signature Of the Governor.
In the Senate the bill for the codifcation Of
the laws OF the State was passed, with an
amendment emitting the name Of Corbin. and
giving the appointment Of the commissioner
to the Governor, also reducing his pay to four
thousand dollars.
An angry discussion, but without result
took place upon the bill to prevent discrimina-
1ion on account OF color. Whittemore propos-
ed compromise forbidding discrimination by
common carriers, which was lost by vote Of
twelve to thirteen. The extremists insisted
upon having equal shts and benefits in every
Licensed business. Coghlan (white), asked
Whittemore if his compromise allowed negroes
to enter and board at hotels. Whittemore
answered, No. Coghlan replied, "WelI, that
is what We want-ibertI to enter hotels, &C."
At a meeting Of the State Central Democrat
&c Club the following resolutions were adopted
aud ordered to be published:
Whereas, in the judgment of the State Gen.
tral Club it is expedient that Democratic NOM
