MORNING, APRIL %, 1869.
The w=x Question.

While Cuba and the Alabama claims keep
the people Of the United States on the qui
vive for war with one or more of the Pow
ers OF Europe, there are signs that some
at least, of those same Powers will before
long have warm work, and quite enough of
it, nearer home. 1t is agreed on all sides
that the Misunderstanding between France
and Belgium, on the subject Of the interna.
tional railroad and the abrupt cessation of
negotiations therefor, has Significance far
beyond the intrinsic Importance of the work
| which has been the pretext of the quarrel :;
and the tone of the foreign press would in
dioate the very general conviction that
Napoleon is at last disposed to exchange
diplomacy for the sword, and that the long
expected struggle for the mastery between
France and Prussia is about to begin.
The Belgian railroad difficulty, the
ostensible cause Of dispute, it will be re-
membered, originated in the refusal of
Belgium to permit the ratification of CON
tract between the railway companies of
Luxemburg and east France, for the estab-
lishment of through communication between
France and Belgium. In commercial
point of view, the construction of an inter
national railroad would have been of vast
benefit to both powers, more particularly to
Belgium; but the government of that State
saw fit to regard it as rather hazardous
and Improbable experiment, inasmuch as
it afforded Napoleon an opportunity to plant
an army right in the heart of the country
without moments warning. Prudential
considerations demanded that Belgium
should be cautious and not afford her DOW
erful neighbor any such facilities for war
and invasion. The negotiations between the
railway companies were, therefore, prompt
ly boken off, and the proposal to discuss the
question in convention declined.
Here the matter should have ended. If
Belgium did not want a railroad across her
boundaries, it was clearly her right to say
80 but the press Of Paris started the cry
that the ssgrand nation had been insult
ed, and Napoleon, who doubtless takes the
same view of the osse, seems to have made
no sGortto check the growth Of this idea in
the popular mind. Possibly, he imagines
that disturbance Of the general peace of
Europe would offer an opportunity for
France to raise once moro the question of
the "Rhine frontier" and for this the
French nation is at any time ready.
Three weeks age the Belgian government
sent q special envoy, nj. Frere Orbau, to
Paris, to settle the difficulty, but it seems
that he met with but poor success. Napo-
leon wanted to refer the matter to q COM
mission appointed by the various European,
powers, but the Belgian Minister insisAed
that the question was purely an affair of
his government, and declined to submit
domestic affairs to foreign arbitration. The
cable now announces that the negotiations
on the subject have been abruptly broken
off. In o few days, at furthest, we may
expect news which will decide the great
question Of peace or war between France
and Prussia.

Long run of winning once in thirty-seven coups
half the money down. The half refait at rouge
ct nor tells still more against the player. At
Ems, where two zeroes and a full refait are in
vogue, tho advantage of the bank is, Of course,
doubled. Making due allowance for the pos
session of capital infinitely greater than that of
any single player, and the power of limiting the
sum allowed to be staked to an amount which
precludes the possibility OF playing on the
doubling system, known as martingale, the
advantage Of the banks over the player may be
stated at four per cent. This, by a simple rule
of-three sum, leads to the startling conclusion
that 425. .OOO, 900 francs are yearly staked in
German hells, Of which sum 50. 400. 900 becomes

with, with proper exertion now and State
aid hereafter, we may attract, on ON aver
age, ten thousand human beings per annum
during the next ten years, repres enting
an annual gain to the State of $4,000, 900.
The real estate appreciation in Charles
ton and all over the State would be Just as
sudden and extraordinary as it was in Cali
fornia in 1850, and rs has been again the
case in the Mission Dolores near San
Francisco quite recently, when real estate
there improved ten-fold in ten months.
But there is deeper moral and political
motive that should inspire us to strive
vigorously for Oh Increase of white strength
Every white. immigrant will add to the
power of the Industrious and sober citizen
Each one will cast his vote on the sido of
intelligence and honesty, and not with the
party which, in this State, at least, has no
higher elm than place anu proht. With
Cuba converted into st. Domingo or ia
maioa, tho Southern States will not only be
the great cotton, tobacco and corn produ-
GERS, but sugar producers to boot, and
England, which may lose her East India
possessions any day, and the rest Of Eu-
rope, will then be more dependent on our
produce than they ever have been previous
to the war. If ever there was q great and
brilliant destiny carved out by Providence
for country, certainly it is ours And
shall not South Carolina stand in the front
rank ?

Tho State Debt.

The return Of the State debt, published in
detail few days ago, shows that the only
change of figures, since the presentation of
the report Of the Comptroller General made
in October last, arises from the issue Of
bonds to the amount Of $1,Os3, 900 in ex-
change for funded bills of the Bank of the
State. This brings the total State debt,
including arrears of interest, to $6,S75, ,997.
This debt the State can pay, and we are glad
to see that provision has been made fer the
payment of the interest due in July. But
If we wish to keep the debt within reas asonoble
bounds and avoid ruinous rate of taxa
ton, we must scrutinize every new project
for bleeding the Treasury, and prevent tie
Legislature from making gifts Of the public
money for any purpose whatever.

white Immigration.

The convention which meets in Columbia
cuss the question Of immigration, and in
entering upon its consideration they will
not overlook the important fact that, as
long as the State is in the hands of the ne
gro party, all the work must. be done by
the white people of South Carolina, without
any expectation Of assistance from the
State government. This need not be sn in
superable obstacle to commencing opera
tions at once, NOR need it interfere with
preparations for the creation es immigrant
agencies in Charleston, in New York, at
Liverpool, Havre and Bremen, and sub
agencies on the Continent and In Ireland.
Money must be offered as an induoement.
For bona Jfds immigrants bonus Of at
least ten dollars per head--man, woman

THE WHOLE srosY IN A NUTSHELL.
The Office of the stomach Is tp convert
the food into n cream like semi fiuid CALI
ed CHYME. This is effected partly 10y the
action of a solvent, called the gastric
Juice, which exudes from the costing
of the stomach, and partly by "A mechan-
zeal movement of that organ, which
churas. as il were, the dissolying aliment.
The CHYME passes from the stomach into
the duodenum, or entrance TO the bowels,
where IL Is subjected TO the action Of the
bile. and the nutritious portion of it con-
verified into fluid called Chyts, which
eventually becomes blood.
Now, IL is evident that II the great sol.

The mode in which HOSTETrBR'S BIT

They also act upon the nerves OF the stom-

also act specifically on the liver, strength

ACCIDENTS ON rnn d. Il M. RAIL-
RoAD-TwO MEN KILLED.-From a
gentleman who arrived from Vim
cennes by yesterday mornings train,
we learn that as the passenger train
was moving east on the Ohio Il Mis-
sissippi Railroad, on the ODD inst, a
MAJ was discovered across the track,
at Carlyle, Ills. The train being un-
der full speed, it was impossible to
stop it in time, and it passed directly
over the unfortunate individual, sew
ering his head from his body at once,
and otherwise mangling the body.
On the morning Of the oath. as the
passenger train bound west was pass
ing Milan Station. Ind, man at
tempted TO jump from it, but lost his
footing and fell from the train. and
being dragged under it. was killed in
stantly. The name Of neither of the
unfortunate men could be learned.
No blame attaches to the railroad en-
ployees.

A TERRIFIED DEMocRAT.-We are
told that. just after noon on Tuesday,
a distinguished Democrat, who felt a
warm interest in the result of the cleo
ton, rushed to the polls!at the Court
House, and with blanched cheek and
quivering lip. addressed the Chairman
of the Central Committee, saying, l
thought we were to have the Band
out? tell you, we ought to do some
thing, for wouldn' t trust these Radi-
Gals a moment" When he was told
that it was not deemed necessary 10
get the baud out. he swore that he
would have it out himself. and in a
few moments the horns were footing
along the streets. Some one had told
this terrified Democrat that the con-
founded RAIDS had arranged 10 turn
out at 3 o'clock and elect secret
ticket which they had prepared.
