Gold closed from one to three-eighths
in advance of New York, which rate was
at twelve, but so few were the transac-
tons that it seems as if there was
nothing doing" Gold, little by little
has been withdrawn from the theatre of
speculation. It's demand comes only
from those who seek to pay duties, or who
seek other countries where no other cur
rency is used, and the supply is always
more than commensurate with the
strength Of the demand. In this article
no CORNERS" can be made here. and it
has no more buoyancy than provisions.
"Money is easy" Such is the answer

which are of themselves an "obiect of
interest. In the city of New York the
banks 60 into the stock market and be-
come large purchasers, which mode would
be hooted at here, Notwithstanding the
great amount of capital in the charge of
the moneyed corporations. Domestic
sight still rules at three-eighths, but
we notice no operations which can be
put down as extraordinary.
In cotton, the news at the Exchange
shows no alteration from the previous
condition of the market. Buyers still
seek the lower grades of cotton, which,
like all things sought after, grows tickle
and shy, and asks higher rate than the
higher grades in the same proportion.

blanket on the hopes of the buyers, who
have not yet recovered from the depres-
sion.
The supply of -four, according to the
bulletin at the Exchange, is still very
light, but dealers are still cautiously walt
ing developments.
Levee stock now stands still, manifest
ing an inclination to go down. Free re-
ports went about that it was already
twelve and half, and would go down to
twelve, but no sales were reported, SO that
any satisfaction could be obtained. The
bear element has not yet set to work.
Neither holders or buyers are anxious to
sell or buy, and a great amount of patient
waiting for the verdict is being on all
sides. Pneumatic stock is quoted at five
dollars, but the only sales heard of is one
hundred shares at four and half, and
eighths, which is the nearest to five yet
reported.
There was ''lots" of news about war;
rants, both Metropolitan and State; news
about stocks and bonds, but no sales, IN
less we mention a sale of sixty shares
Ammonia Car Company on private terms.
There is still a healthy feeling about war
rants, sale being made yesterday at fifty
seven, but whether the trife of spirit
which these securities show is to be at
tributed to the desire for speculation or to
some legitimate movement can not be as
certained. The main topic on the street
is no topic at nothing doing, no sales
of any significance, and the passing
hours seem shod with lead

The Nawab Nazim of Bengal has a claim
for some hundreds of thousands of pounds
sterling before the British House of Com
mons. He must be a pretty good lobbyist,
unless circumstances belle him, and must
know the value of backsheesh i'll matters of
legislation. There has been more or less
delay in getting his claim before the House,
and he was lately informed that it was
necessary that forty members must
be present. in the House in order to
carry on business. 1t is noted as curious
coincidence, that about that time the Nawab
purchased exactly forty of the best watches
that could be found in London-why, can
be only surmised.

The New York World publishes an article
on narrow gauge. railways, in which we
find the following statement by Hon. Henry
G. Stebbins, the vice President of the Texas
Pacific railway, who says: In my opinion
it will not be possible to resist the weight
of testimony in favor of these railways
over any other gauge, and certainly agree
with YOU that the discovery of their eff
cheney will do more for the South and
Southwest than could have been done by
any other human means. regard the sue
cessful agitation of the matter at this time
as equal to the discovery and introduction
of the cotton gin to the whole Southern
section of the country"

The Secretary of the Treasury has issued
circular order to all the heads OF divi-
sions in the treasury, calling attention TO
the sixth rule OF the regulations OF 1869
interdicting all leaves of absence more than
thirty days with pay during any fiscal year.
The Secretary says that hereafter this rule
must not be departed from under any cir
cumstances whatever, and adds that no ap-
peal from the order will be considered. SO
If would seem that the treasury clerks are
not allowed to be sick or to 60 home to vote
hereafter without having the absent time
deducted from their regular thirty days
vacation. or submitting to shave upon
their monthly pay equal to the extent OF
the absence.

We don't hear often from the Fiji
Islands, but when tidings do come from
that quarter they present certain pict-
uresqueness of incident. The latest item
from this land of man-eaters is, that a sort
of internecine war has broken out among
the people of one of the islands, and that
the more powerful party has been engaged
in capturing and eating the weaker side.
A FIJI Islander never paroles prisoner of
war; better and more conclusive-he bar
becues him and eats him.

The ceremony of wedding Lake Michi-
gan to the Mississippi river was attended
to at Chicago on Tuesday last. Fifteen
hundred people participated in the jubi-
lee. The work was accomplished by
deepening the canal that leads from the
lake to the Illinois river, and after it was
finished, and the food let loose, the water
in the canal soon changed from a muddy
and sinking compound to a clear and
fragrant liquid. All the dirty water was
washed out into the Illinois river, through
which it will make its way to New Or
leans, and thence to the gulf st. Louis
and the other up-river villages are already
holding their noses to avoid the smell
which is apprehended to accompany the
freshet from the Chicago canal, as that
aqueous artery, before its present purifi-
cation, was considered superior to Cologne
in the number, quality and pungency of
its stinks. What will New Orleans do
when the food reaches our wharves?

Is 1T A CHALLENGE I?

The following, which we clip from the
Picayau,e, looks to US like challenge for
proof:
The CustOmhouse officials deny en-
phatieally that there has been any increase
of their force whatever, and declare that,
while business is brisker than it is usually
at this season, their list of employees is
really smaller
Now, if any official of the Customhouse
who is in position to know all the dark
ways aud vain tricks of the granite temple
of virtue will assert on his own response
bility, or authorize the Picoylne or any
other, to assert in his name that
our charges in this respect are not true,
we will hand in the names of our wit
nesses. We are personally acquainted
with some eight or ten of them, and know
we shall have no difficulty in getting them
to testify after the adjournment of the
convention, and their consequent dis
charge.
Speaking about printing, as the Bee in
sists on doing, reminds us of plastering,
which seems to be the great leak for Dem
ocratic expenditures in New York. Plas-
tering is not as useful as printing, but
then each party sticks to its line of bust
ness, the Republicans preferring intelli-
gence and the Democracy adhering to
muscle. A new courthouse is in process
of construction in New York, and man
named Garvey has the contract. His bill
for plastering this courthouse in May
was only one hundred and thirty-three
thousand dollars, but he put on more
hands in June and the city paid him
three hundred and three thousand dol
lars. He is still plastering away and
hopes to file another little bill at the end
of July. Some printed remonstrance
from the Bee against this expensive job
of pIastering would read well. If the
contractor was a Republican the Bee
would not need a second invitation to 90
in against this plumber.

A Voice from tho Ladies.

Mr.. EDITOR: You must allow the
women to speak this once, (though no
admirers of "women's rights" Or any OF
the transpositions of the day,) now,
whom the very rocks and stones might
cry ont against the psrversion of oil that
is true md just, it is difficult to be
silent They would express much, but
will only say they have hope that with
suoh Hercules to WELD the sword in
the defence OF truth and right, against
our oppressors. we shall not be crushed
under this great power of evil, and we
take courage. With your shafts clipped
in the light" Of truth, your poignant
arrows must pierce even to the "dividing
aaunder Of the marrow and bones" Of
the oonsciences of the evil-doers. They
must oower before your banner, and
shrink aghast when they sec, in the mir
ror which you hold up before them, the
hideousness Of their own deformity.
All good men will surely rally to your
standard; and, ultimately, as soon us the
power of good is greater than the power
Of evil, God has declared it, the right
shall triumph.
"As the whirlwind pnsseth, 30 is the
wicked no more; but the righteous is an

Our respectful Acknowledgements are
due to the womanly heart that con.
celved the communication addressed to
us in another column. The approval OF
woman has always been esteemed, under
Heaven, one of the best rewards OF mans
exertions. Her devotion to the true and
the good is acknowledged. Whilst we
cannot but feel that our efforts in the
public behalf are too highly estimated
in the communication referred to, yet
We esteem not the less the compliment
paid us. and hope to merit the kind OPT
mons expressed. It is said that the gal
liant Frenchman, Murat. had on his
sword the device, GALL Foa WOMAN. "
Whilst We cannot 30 specifically indicate
our inspiration. yet we may truthfully
say, that having high appreciation OF
woman as wife. daughter, mother, sister
and friend, it cheers us not little to
reflect that in seeking to benefit the
State at large, we are also assisting to
bring about such a condition OF the
country as will tend to promote the COM
fort and well-being of the noble women
OF the State, who. in the past as in the
present, have 30 faithfully stood by the
great principles OF TRUTH, PURITY, JUS.

"Render unto Cesar the things that are
C@sar's, and unto God, the things that ere
Gods" .
Thursday was the day appointed by
the Federal and the State authorities for
a day OF THANKSGIVING. It was not
generally observed as such in this com.
munity. Nor do we suppose that any
where in the South or in this State was
the observance very general. Why is
this? Are our people wanting in due
sense OF Divine recognition, or OF the
"powers that be?" We say not. We
yield to no people in such recognition,
properly construed. We say with
HOOKER. that ''Of law there can be no
less acknowledged, than that her scat is
the bosom of God. her voice the harmony
OF the world; all things in Heaven and
earth do her homage, the very least as
feeling her care, and the greatest as not
exempted from her power" But in the
suggestions of President Grant and Co
vernon Scott. we do not find tkis LAW.
OF which Hooker writes, nor Of the
things that we are bound to render unto
Caesar" are the prayers of our hearts
to be included. We have cause at all
times to be thankful to the Almighty
Ruler of men and nations. But at this
time, there are other services more peou-
ilarly incumbent upon us. We must
"render unto Cmsar the things that are
C@sar's, and this We do when we obey
the laws OK the land, and obey a power
which we may not resist. But when our
spoilers-the spoilers Of our God.Riven
liberties and our hard earned property
require of 'us mirth and q song, we must.
like the captive Jews by the rivers oi
Babylon. chang our harps upon the viii
lows" The suggestion of tho aged
clergyman to make the day of proposed
thanksgiving one of HUMILIATION ANr
PRAYER, commended itself to many
Christian minds, both of the laity and
the clergy. But the suggestion wa.
made at too late day to be received
generally through the country. We ar.
pleased to know that the thought wa.
approved, for whilst We find no warran
in the Christian law for our yielding te
the mockery of our rulers. yet we would
desire to have our people. at all times
plainly evince that respect for th,
Divinity which compels us:to .humilia
tion and prayer, whenever, as q people
we reflect upon our shortcomings, ans
our dependence upon the favor of hiel
Heaven.

ready fallen 80 low in public estimation
That it is now repudiated even by honest

q remark made by us in a shameful way.
We remarked: ut is said that the effort

ceived its degree in the school Of mis-.
