that Journal is, as we'll editoro the Union Of this
city, the following item from the latter paper
seems to violate consistency so much to be de-
sired In journaism "We see IL stated in the
papers that Chief Constable Hubbard has resigned
his position, and that the same has been accept.
ed. We know nothing about the truth OF it, how

to be able to present an item OF news in its every

CHARTER OF UNION BANk AMENDED.
The bill to amend the charter OF the Union Bank
OF South Carolina, introduced by Mr.. CorbIn, and
read O second time to-day and referred to the
committee on interpretations, has for It's object
the consolidation OF the shares OF the bank, the
par value of which Is $780, but at the pres
ent time worth only SIS. The shares wifi be called
IN, and one share returned for five: The bank
shall, at the request Of any person holding legs
than ten shares, redeem the same at five dollars.
Sufficient notice shall be given OF the eonsolda
tion, and of,the Increase OF capital which, too, is
authorize not to exceed twenty thousand shares
of nfty dollars each. The bank s authorized to
receive deposits upon the same conditions as orig
iual deposits. The charter Is extended for pc.
.riod Of twenty-one years beyond its present ter

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF CHARLESTON.
The petition OF the Charleston City school COM
missioner presented to-day, shows that the petl-
tIeners the Charleston City board Of school COM
mlssioners, assumed charge Of the public schools
on the lst of July, 1870; that in these schools
there are sixty.eIsht teachers employed in the
education Of four til usand pupils; that since the
commissioners have assumed charge they have
had no money wherewith to defray the expenses
OF or pay the salaries Of teachers; that they are
now in debt to the teachers, and for osher cur
rent expenses In the sum Of s,5 500; that the com.
mssIoners were by law OF 1913 empowered to levy
a tax for the payment OF these claims, but that
the act was repealed in February, 1870; the pres.
ept deficit Is due to the repeal Of the act. They,
therefore, petition for the enactment OF another
such law, aud deficiency bill sufficient. to enable
them 10 cancel their present Indebtedness. si

The canvass for she. senatorial contest seems to

strange to some that SO much money should be

science by ITSELF and but few seem to understand
1t. Those who are "up to snu6," and possess ex'
perience and knowledge Of these matters, are,
after all, most generally those who succeed. one
fact seems to be entirely lost TO the sight Of most
aspiran:s to oflce That Is, that all the work and
paius necessary to secure a position must be ex-
erted prior to the obtaining such ONCE. Some
seem to imagine that because the pay comes in
after the position is secured, the work must come
In then too. They forget that omces are, as 1t

THE ATLANTIC CABLES.

NEW YORK, November 80, 3:15 P. M.
The steamer Robert Lowe sailed from
Hearts Content on Saturday last, to repair the
Atlantic cable Of 1866, which was Injured about
sixLy.ave miles from that point Information
has Just been received that the cable OF 1855 has
also ceased to work, and that the break is at
about the same distance from Hearts Content. 1t
Is therefore probable that the steamer grapped the
the wrong cable As the steamer is on the spot,
1t is hoped that both cableswlll soon be repaired.
Although the French cable is able to transmit
westward with about Its usual facility, 1t is from
some unknown cause unable to transmit eastward
except with great difficulty and very slowly. No
tce hereby given that for the present, messages
cannot be received for any part OF Europe. The
public will be informed at the earliest moment
that messages can be received for Europe.

METZ, July 29.-Great excitement prevails
here. There is little doubt that the main
body will strike through Rhenish Bavaria, aud
en- advance of the Prussians on the left is ex-
pected. = tn ca m
LONDON, July 29.-Count Albert de Bern
storff, Prussian ambassador to England, to-
day makes public q statement that France, in
1866, offered to lend Prussia 800, 900 men to
use against Austria, if Prussia would surren-
der to France the territory between the Rhine
and Moselle. The rejection of this PROPOSE
ton on the part of Prussia awoke the Empe-
ror's sympathy with Austria. These offers,
which Napoleon now finds it convenient to re-
pudiate, have been repeated since 1866.
PARIS, July 29.-It is reported that General
Sheridan is coming from America. He will
be refused leave to accompany the army.
The American feeling here has been misre-
presented. No French journal dares to repub-
lish daily news kilograms describing the gene
raj sympathy of Americans with Prussians.
1t is reported that Prince Napoleon was
obliged to accompany the Emperor as a pre-
caution against his possible disloyalty in
case of defeat. a
An independent command has been denied
him. General Leb@uf positively refused to
give him command of a division.
LONDON, July 29.-All civilians in Berlin
we're obliged to decide last Saturday whether
they would leave or remain until further
orders, which would not be for a fortnight at
least.
The whole country is occupied in war
prepaI atoms and moving military trains.
The Polish people are thoroughly Prussian.
Only landed proprietors and priests are hos
tile. No outbreak is possible in Polish Prus-
STA without the con currence of the Russian
and Austrian Poles, therefore France can hope
for no assistance there.
Two thousand men are continuously
strengthening Mayence. The fertilization
declared incapable of resisting a sudden
attack q fortnight ago can now stand long
siege, and furnish q base of offensive opera
tions.
The report that the Prussian King would
make Frankfort his headquarters is impro-
bable.

partially contradicts the peace rumors he gave
yesterday. All hopes are postponed until
after q battle.

PERJURY AND FORGERY

A Member of Congress In a Delicate Situation.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-In 1869 the Homo
rable r. II. Butler, of Tennessee, was attor-
ney for procuring a pension for a lady living
at Horse Creek, N. O., near the Tennessee
line. The case went through the Office, and
a check for the back pension, amounting to
between four and five hundred dollars, was
sent to the Pension Agent in Raleigh, N. G.
He in turn sent the check to r. r. Butler.
Tho idence before the Pension Office shows
that the check left Raleigh on the 9th of Oc-
tober, and was cashed at the banking house
of Jay Cooke & Co., in this city.
ION the Doth of October" The check bore
at Horse Creek, and information given by the
Post Office Department showed that the
shortest time in which q letter could travel
from Washington to Horse Greek and return
was seventeen days. This aroused the sus-
picions of the department, and the claimant
was written to. She replied that she had not
endorsed the check mentioned nor any other
check, and the only money she had ever re-
ceived from Butler was represented by some
goods from his store at very high prices.
This settled the fact that the claimants en-
dorsement was a forgery, and Butler did not
deny that he did the endorsing. All this in
~vestigation, of course, occupied six or eight
months, and one special agent was sent from
the Pension Office to investigate the case in
the neighborhood.
Butler was called on for an explanation of
his conduct. After a long delay he asserted
that he had a power of attorney from the
claimant to authorize him to endorse. He
produced a power of attorney bearing date
about September, 1869, and an affidavit pur-
porting to have been made by the claimant
after she wrote her letter to the Office denying
the endorsement, in which she takes back al
she said about Butler. These two documents
are written in different colored inks, but on
the two halves of the same sheet of paper,
for the tear is a very peculiar one, and the
irregularities of one torn edge fit exactly
into the irregularities of he other torn edge.
On the same sheet of paper, but dated about
six months apart. This was too much for the
Pension Office to stand, and a special agent
of the Pension Office is now near Roderick
r. Buffers home, and he will be arrested an 4
appear before the Grand Jury to answe
the charges of perjury and forgery.

GENERAL SHERIDAN NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO
FOLLOW THE ARMY.
PARIS, July 29.-The Journal O6fciel this
morning contains the following report from
the Ministers of War and the Interior to the
Emperor:-'The government has authorized
the organization of local national guards in
frontier towns of the north and east, but the
government thinks it necessary to renounce
the idea of the organization of a general ma
tional guard. Meanwhile the government
believes that companies of French sharp
shooters, established more extensively than
at present, will constitute a valuable reserve
for the protection of national territory. The
two ministers propose that the engagement
of these companies of French sh~arpshooters
shall be limited to the actual term of the war,
and that volunteers admitted into these bodies
shall be specially charged with the local de-
fense." The Emperor approves of these corps
destined to replace the national local guard.
At Metz, to-day, several newspaper CORES
pondents, most of them American and Eng
hsh, were arrested as spies. They were libe-
rated, however, but warned to keep AWAY

Brun from the frontier fastened the depsr.
tore of the Emperor. Prince Napoleon is on
the Emperor's staff.
Large bodies of French troops are moving
to the northeast from Metz. 1t is said Gene
raj Trochu is to lead a corps into South Ger,

decline battle until the French cross the
Rhine. They are concentrating heavy masses
of troops near Coblentz.
