The New York Journal Of Commerce says ::
"In view of the bitterness with which the Scott
and Garrett railroad quarrel has been conduct
ed, it is not improbable that Scott will reach
some understanding with the Pennsy lvania,
Wilmington and Baltimore people, and secure
some exclusive privileges. The result of that
would be to drive Garrett into south New Jer-

a LAW BATrLE.-A battle between the
Cattle King and the Railroad King OF
America has commenced 10 the circuit court at
Chicago. Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt, passing
through Chicago Thursday, was served with
the papers. The suit is az action Of assunpSlt
brought by ohm T. Alexander against the To-,
ledo, Wabash and Western, Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern, aud New FORK Central
and Hudson river railroad companies, damages
being laid at $25O,UO0 TIE facts alleged IN
the plaintiff declaration are as follows:
Dir. Alexander, known through the west as
the Cattle King, from his gigantic operations
10 live stock, had previous 10 June, SI3 shipped
east exclusively by the Pennsylvania road, the
charge BY that line being SlO5 car. Mr. Van
dcrbilt was DESTROYS of securing the business
and after long negotiations, entered into an ar
rangemept with Alexander, agreeing to carry
hi, ca,tI, at sos Il car, or should the Pcnnsyl-
rania road break rates, at as low rate as cat
flo we're carried by any other line. The break
ensued. The Pennsylvania road carried cattle
for $50 car, and to maintain its position the
Erie railway for one year transported the stock
of its largest shipper free OF any charge what
soeyer. The New York Central itself carried
cnitIc for $40 and $50 car, but compelled
Alexander to pay sos. AlcXander's shipments
amounted to about two Thousand cars. and he
has brought suit to recover the difference be.
tween the amount actually paid and the lowest
r,tc charged. \ similar action has been To-
stitutcd by Mr.. VIM. Fitch against the same
CORPORATIONS, damages being laid at 100000.

The Baltimore Sun, in an article on the edu-

the subject of the rudeuess and i'll behavior of
many who ought to be taught better, and
which are exhibited in fashionable places,
says Home, after all, is the great school for
both morals and manners. The child must be
taught there to respect parents, to respect age,
to be self denying, to be gracious in demeanor
to brothers and sisters and to other young peo-
pie, aud this example must be ipculcated by
the parents, both by principle and by their own
example"

PoTrTICs IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-That fair
Republican journal. the New York Post edi-
tormlly notices q handbill sent to it from
Charleston, S. c., headed "Aunicpa Flee
ton. and signed by committee. Tnl> print
ed platform contains demand that the
municipal ticket shall be composed as follows:
For next mayor white man; nine colored
aldermen (moSt positively and nine white;
captain or chief of police, coIOred man; first
lieutenant, white; second lieutent, coIored then
all the subordinate or non commissioned officers
and privates on police force white and colorcd.
These coorcd men must be OF our own choice
in politics. We also demand an equal alternate
pro rata in all the other departments Of the city
government, and share in the executive patron
age: and no man, we care not whom, shall re-
ceve our notice as a candidate who does not
endorse and dt{rOcdte these measures. As the
platform further requires that we, the colOred
men, shall "Seect for our suffrage white men
for this ticket who may come up to our re-
quiremcnts and stand firmly and squarcly on
our platform, the Post lufers that no white
man will receive support who is not pledged be-
forehand to sustain this party IN all It's meas
urcs; also that, in the opinion OF rhe coIored
men of Charleston, the rights and interests OF
the two races are absolutely opposed to each
other, and that those of the colored race can
only be sustained by their entire supremacy
over the white; and argues that if this be true,
aud the coored people have the numerical
strength and sufficient organization to assert
and maintain such supremacy, then one OF two
things must follow: Either there must be the
complete political Subjcction and submission OF
the white race or they must abandon the strug-

Congress to repeal the bankrupt act, or to OBJ

under its operations be more favorable to COM
mercial interests. The amer dment added by
the last Congress, by which all property is ex-
empt from its operations which the several
States have reserved from execution for debt,
has increased the legal difficulties Of the stua-
ton, because every State gives especial pre-
ference to different classes of debts and pro-
vides different modes for their collection.

DEATH OF A NOTABLE CHARACTER The

DEATH OF NOTABLE CHARACTER The
New York Herald of the 18th instant says:
In the tenement house No. 246 Rivington st.
died yesterday, William Owens, aged eighty. two
years, late sergeant trumpeter unuer the last two
Georges, William the Fourth and Queen Victo-
ria OF England. The decease of Mr.. Owens is
worthy of note from the facts Of his long SER
vice in the British army and his presence at the
battle of Waterloo A Welshman by birth, he
entered the band of the Second Life Guards as
ordinary trumpeter at very early age, and in
1915 on the return of the British forces from the
occupancy of Paris, he was promoted to the rank
OF sergeant trumpeter. In this capacity ne OIL
ciated at the coronations Of George the Fourth,
William the Fourth, and the present Queen. 1t
was among his duties to attend the Sovereign on
all occasions of state, from the opening or pro-
roguing Of Parliament to q visit to the patent
theatres of the metropolis. For more than
generation and half his figure was familiar
one to the sight-seekers of London, whether in
the handsome uniform of the Guards or the more
gorgeous one of sergeant trumpctcr in both he
showed to advantage, being man of fine per-
son and martial bearing. About fifteen years
ago he retired from ais post, and for more than
twelve years lived quietly on Il little farm in
Devonshire. A grand daughter of his had visit
ed the United States and here got married. Lat
terly she became his sole surviving relative,
and, at the invitation of her husband and her
self, the old gentleman came to New York in
1870. He had not been long here when his
grand. daughter died Soon afterwards her hus-
band followed his wife to the grave and Mr..
Owens (who had long been in the receipt of
sufficient pension from the British Government?
was obliged to seek such home as he could find
in 8 New York tenement house. This in time
became lrksome to him, and he made up his
mind to return to England and there live out the
remainder of his days. Through the recent
changes in the weather he was cast upon sick
bed, and died after few days confinement.
The deceased was a man of intelligence and
could relate anecdotes of the great men of his
time, including Wellington Peal, Palmerston,
Melbourne, Russell Grey and Lyndhurst.

The RESULT OF THE ELECTION IN CALL
FoRNIA, Judging from the returns Of the diff
ferent districts up to the present time, shows
that the Radical party have been successful.
1t is thong BIT now that Gov. Booth, who is the
representative man of the Independents, will be
chosen U. S. Senator in place OF MIR. Casserly,
whose term will expire in March, 1875. But
as Mr.. CaSserly has been as earnestly opposed
to railroad monopoly as Booth and the indepen-
dents are, and, in fact, has acted with them in
their fight with the Central Pacific Railroad,
he may, through some arrangement with Gov
eruor Booth, be reelected to the Senate. ln
the election of the Legislature the questions at
issue were the railroad monopoly and the Uni
ted States Seuatorship. Both the republican
and democratic parties having been mixed up
to some extent with the Central paclhc hIns
and monopoly, the republicans particularly be-
ing odious on that account the people of Cali
fornia have repudiated these old parties.-N.

FIRE IN KINGsTREE.-An extensive FIRE
occurred on the 9th of January in the village
of Kingstree, Williamsburg County, which de-
stroyed large portion of the houses on Main
street, aggregating loss of $4,000, upon
which there was an insurance Of only $4,000.
The origin of the fire is not known, but it is
believed to have been incendiary. In! connec-
ton with this serious disaster, we find the fol-
lowing remarkable statement in the Kingstree
Star: ="
Kingstree, according to historical data, has
had an existence since the year 1884, and du-
ring all this long and eventful period of time,
embracing within its history two gigantic wars,
the revolution for American Independence,
and the recent war between the States for the
enjoyment by the South of the rights secured
by that conquest we have no information, Ell
ther printed or traditional, that contradicts the
assertion that the fire on Monday morning last
was the first at which more than one building
has been destroyed at any one time by this de-
vouring element We refer to this fact as
very remarkable circumstance in the history of
this village-Aa circumstance perhaps that has
no parallelfin the history of any other town in
the State. 1t is also fact that this very an
cient village has never grown much in size and
importance, yet we presume it has always had
a sufficient number of houses to furnish mate
rial for the accidental spark or the incendiary's
torch. Luckily for the population they have
been greatly blessed and favored in their ex.
emption from the frequent and devastating
fires that have visited all the other towns and
villages in the State. But we are told that
there is time for all things, and the time for
the first fire of any magnitude in Kingstree
was on Monday morning last.

The III, eii,AbbeyiIle Fire.

There seems to be no doubt that the recent
fire in AbbeviIle was the work Of an incendiary,
and we are glad to learn thatthere is aprospect
of securingathe perpetrators, of this fendish
set. A number Of persons have been arrested
for stealing goods auring the progress of the
of the fire. The total loss is estimated at S2O,-
oOO-ths greater portion of which is covered
by insurance. yMessrs. Cothran and Wilson
valued their buildings at $4,000, upon which
there is an insurance of $4,000 The loss
among the merchants is comparatively small
therefore, and even this is partly covered by
Insurance. The principal sufferers are pre-
pairing to rebnild, land the others will doubtless
re-establish their business, in short time.

SA1EDAY.-The attedance on Monday last
was fair enough, when we consider that the
time is propitious for farm labor, and that tax
paying and other public duties have called a
large proportion of our citizens here during
the last month, which quite dissipates the nov
city of visit to town. There were no sales by
the Sheriff, and the interest was mainly con-
fined to the sale of property belonging to the
