VERSAILLES, Sept. 19.-Negotiations
for the final treaty of peace with Ger
many are temporarily suspended on &C.
count of the illness of Won Arnim; not
withstanding which, however, it was
hoped that an understanding upon the
original basis would be mutually agreed
to; but it is announced that the modifi-
cations of the convention proposed by
France are of so serious character that
Herr Won Arnim referred the whole sub
ject to the government at Berlin. The
exchange OF ratifications of the treaty is
therefore delayed. The settlement of all
questions between the representatives of
the two countries is regarded as Ger
tainty.
National FortIficatfOns.
The plan adopted for the military de-
fence of France includes the fortification
of Champagne, the erection of quadlater-
al detached forts around Mesieres and
Charlotte, and the disarmament of the
National Guards in the departments. The
Rhine line is completed.

DARING BURGLARY AND OUTRAGE.
On Monday morning. between mid
night and daylight, the dwelling of our
esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr.. James Il.
Aiken. was entered by unknown parties
and $2l6 aud some household articles
stolen therefrom. The burglars gained
admission through the front door, which
had been left unlocked. Several pieces
Of clothing belonging to Mr., Aiken. to-
gether with crockery ware, glass- ware
and table linen, were taken and left on
the sidewalk in front of the house. Mr..
A. g buggy was rolled out from his car
rage house and left standing in tho yard.
The pocket book from which the money
was extracted was found lying in the back
yard.
In connection with this affair. we NAV
mention that note was left at the resi.
dence OF Capt. Bacot. next door to Mr..
Aiken's. by the parties who had commit
ted the burglary, informing Capt. B.
that they entered Mr.. A. g room and,
finding him siclt, took nothing but his

Tho State in the United States Court.
Attorney-General Chamberlain made
his appearance in the United States
Court on yesterday, to represent the
State OF South Carolina. It is said that
MIR. Worthington is the State prosecutor
only in certain cases. The Attorney
General is the general State prosecutor.
Behold some of the abnormalities of the
present condition Of South Carolina.
The Attorney-General of this State
would, in the public Judgment, he doing
far more good, if, leaving the Ku Klux
cases to the United States Attorney, Mr..
Corbin, he would devote his time and
his energies to the grand bond swindle
OF certain State officials, and to the cor
ruption that stalks about the capital.
But on the State bond question, he is
discreetly silent. He evidently prefers
Federal to State bonds.

Gov. sco.t,s nIes.aus.

We publish this morning portion of
Governor Scott's message. Upon COM
pleting the publication tomorrow. we
shall review it in such terms as may seem
to us proper For the present, we have
but to remark that the message will be
found full of passion, prejudice and
wrath. The effort is made to give DO
lltical coloring to all the great questions
before us. It is sought to change the
issue. The State press aud the white
population Of the State are held respon-
sible for all the present troubles. Some
good recommendations are lost in the
magnitude OF the shameful misrepre-
sentations that fill the message. Is it
Scott's dying vail. as rendered by Mr..
Thomas Jefferson Mackey?

How We Are Victimized.

MIR. EDITOR: A few days since, a citi-
zen employed colored man to do an
hours work in his garden, and paid him
one dollar for it, the laborer appearing
entirely lsatisfied. A few days after, the
citizen was net in the street by the If
teenth amendment, who said he wanted
four dollars mere for his work. The
former replied, I owe you nothing. I
have already over-paid you. A few days
after, he was summoned before q colored
Trial Justice, and sued for four dollars,
and. Of course. judgment was decreed
and costs.
Citizen, on meeting the Trial Justice.
said: Why, Sam, You did me wrong to
give that rascal verdict for four dol.
lars. as I had already paid him more
than he had earned. But, said the Trial
Justice: if it's any consolation to you,
ne got but one dollar of it; I pooketed
the three myself.

They meet ut the capital at grand crisis

to discharge great duty. South Caro-

these true SONS of the State. We feel
assured that they will proceed firmly,
sagaoiousIy and promptly to do the work
before them. The time for investiga-
tions, based upon the data furnished by
the corrupt accused, has passed. The
crimes committed are confessed. The
committee have high and notable ex.
ample before them-the action taken in
New York to bring kindred criminals to
the bar. Let the committee go to work,
and nrst let them seize the bull by the
horns. We expect large results from
this committee. Let them move at once
upon the works OF the banded aud bond

them. Action is the word.

ers' Convention as follows. Reporting
Gov. SCOTT, the committee say:
"He observed fret, with reference to
the finances OF the State. that notwith-
standing the rumors that an illegal and
irregular manipulation of the public
funds had taken place. it was the fact
that nothing had been done involving
the credit of the State which was not
strictly authorized by law"
Again:
"The Governor produced tho printed
statement of the funded debt of South
Carolina, which had been furnished to
the members of the convention by the
Comptroller General, and remarked that
he believed it substantially true, and
that he had not signed any other bonds
than those set forth in said statement.
aud that none had been issued, except
by authority OF law"

IN closing the saloons on Sunday, occurred
in this city on yesterday. The rumor 'nas
a man had killed himself by drinking too
faslv of beer, reached our ears yesterday

conclusive proof, to us, of of the truth OF
the statement The facts in the case are as
follows; anstsaloon men can make the most
of them;
John Shea, an industrious cooper, re
siding IN HastiDg's Row, on Beaver street,
10 the rear of the Second Ward school
house, was on Saturday last, requested BY
his wife to stay at home and attend to the
children, as it was wash day, and being ex
hausted by previous hard labor, John
Welded to her persuasions. During the fore

and ,mbibed freely. In the afternoon, he
took his dinner pail holding about two
quarts, to q saloon, had it filled with "lager,"
and returned home, and emptied the bucket.
He filled it sgain with beer, and again
emptied il, and went off Toward night, be
re ,urned home with afve-gsllon keg of beer,
remsrking that he was now prepared for
Sunday, and he sat until about midnight
drinking beer and eating about a foot and a
half of "Bologua" and 8. considerable guam
tv of "cheese." At midnight he was SO
intoxicated that his wife had to assist him

Shea was an Incorporate man, but very

This horrible occurrence caused much
excitement and comment in the city, for th'
death was so sudden, and the cause SO IN
