have come to our relief by paying the
amount of subscription due Us. There
are, however, a great many TO whom
bills have been sent, who have not yet
responded to our appeal. Now in or

reduction noted on the bills sent.
Again we tender many thanks to those
who have paid us, and hope that those

The South Carolina Election Cases.

Our Washington specials report that the
contested election case of Wallace against
Simpson came up in the House OF Represen-
tatiyes yesterday. The Committee on Elec-
tions had reported that Mr.. Simpson had a
1,fma tacie title to his seat, and this report
was adopted. At this moment the Radical
leaders hurried to the rescue, and after q
fierce fight reconsiderca the vote and laid
the report of the Election Committee OIL
the table. As the case stands, Mr.. Simp
son cannot obtain his seat until Wallace
abandons the contest, or has the case finally
decided against him. In this way the Radl
Gals stave off the question and gain breath
ing time. :.
Had Mr. Simpson been a Radical ne woult
long ago have had his seat; as he Is
Democrat, he must run the gauntlet OF
thousand difficulties, and await the good vii
and pleasure Of the dominant party. 4

ASKARoS KASSIs. THE COPT. A Romance ol
Modern Egypt. BY Edwin DeLeOn, late Uni.
ted States Consul General for Egypt. Phila-
delphia: J. b. Lippincott.
We have received advance sheets Of this now
romance, about issuing from the press OF
Mr. Lippncott. 1t deals with the East, the
cradle of the human race, and in il are de-
pictcd the influences of the two things which
color the whole wool and web Of Eastern life
the tstalism of Islam anu the isolation of The
Harecm. The hard facts of the East arc stranger
than the dreams OF the West, and the author
of "Askaros kassis" proposes TO Gull few
flowers from the garden so long neglected by
poct and novelist alike. Mr. DcLcOn is Il
pleasing and graceful writer, and long resi-
dcnce in the East must have given him ample
material for a work which combines The
charms of romance and reality
THE GALAXY.
Some reaction is almost inevitable with a
magazine after the attainment of the plane oi
excellence that usually denotes the opening ot
a new volume. and the February Galaxy, no
less than most of its contemporaries, illus
trates the fact. Mr.. Reade's story continues,
and will atone for shortcomings elsewhere.
'sExprcssions,' by T. NJ. Coan, contains some
close and refined thought, but jumps with the
fashion Of the time in pushing supposed anal
ogics and doubtful prccedents too far. Mr..
Justin McCarthy's account Of Brigham Young
is very iconoclastic, and, we doubt not, en-
tirely trustworthy. The miscellaneous wri-
ting at the end is fairly up to its mark, and the
stories are, at least, not cOmmonplace-cN-
cept, strangely enough, Anthony Trollope's
s'Panjandrum," which is the poorest ''Editor's
Tale" he has given us.
THE ECLECTIC.
A portrait of the lamcntcd James I. Brady
is the frontspiece Of the February number.
The leader is a fruitful article-lsam-fro
the Quarterly Review. Among the other arti-
Giles, all oil them first class, are: The Defend
ers of our Northwest Frontier, from the Corn
hill; the Battle Of the PHILOSOPHERS, from the
Contemporary Review; the conclusion of the
Early History of Man, from the North British;
Lambeth and the Archbishops, from MacMil-
Ian; Study and Opinion at Oxford; France
Adrift, from Bclgravia; and the usual poetical,
literary, scientific and art notes. The Charles
ton Agency of the Eclectic is at Fogartie's

The City Finances.

We print this morning, as requested, :
table showing the principal items" OF the
city expenditures, as taken from the olllclal
reports of the City Treasurer for the years
1867, 1865 and 1862 According to this
table, The expenditures, for the purposes
stated, were s56,4l5 less in 1869 than IN
1865, and sG3, ,12O less in 1868 than in 1867.
This is very pleasing exhibit; but so bald
a comparison does not show fairly and lully
the difference between the actual outlay Ill
the three years specified. Many other sums
were paid out than are here set down, ana
we are forced to believe that, in the table oi
Alderman Yoigt, only those expenditures are
mentioned which show TO the advantage OIL
the Pilsbuly administration. ii the City
Treasurer will publish 4 table showing all
the erDendames OF the city in 1867, 1868
and 1869. we can find out what really has
been accomplished in the way of retrench-
ment and reform. And it must be remem-
bered that the expenses for streets and paw
ing were naturally far larger in 1867, tie
second year after the war, than it was nee
essary for them to be in 1865 and 1869. The
large expenditures on streets and drains Ill
1867 are, we presume, easily accounted for
TO show the small value of the table print
ed elsewhere, as proof Of economical man
asement, it may be mentioned that the
SIG, 75l. spent on plank roads, is not inclu-
dcd, nor is the s42,249 paid out for the
Board of Health These two sums alone
would more than sweep away the wonderful
saving shown by Alderman Voigt. In order,
however, that the present Radical admins
tration may have the benefit Of a compare
son with the estimates of the preceding Rad
ical administration, we give table showing
the estimates of Mayor Clark's Council (of
which Mr.. yoigt was member for TIE year
