Our Commerce with the North*
New York has hitherto been the great cento
of trade of the North American Continent. We
now expect to see that trade, in a great
ure, dive.ted to our Southern ports. A number
of the most prominent and reliable merchants of
New York, are preparing to establish importing
houses in Southern cities. The Northern pa
pers come to us loaded with loud complaint
against the late Tariff act of Congress at Wash
ington, which, siuce our Government at Mont
gomery has established a comparatively low
tariff, is operating most disastrously on the me
cantiie interests of the North. No more orde
irom the South will cross the line of the Con
federate States. No person in the South eai
pay. in New York, the tnrifT on foreign good
" Inch the late Black Republican Congress ho
established, and then pay our own tariff on tin
same goods at our Southern ports.
We see also, that it is proposed to supply tin
greater portion of goods to the North, through
Southern |>orls—our low tariff justifying the ad
ditional expenditure in the way of freight, which
such a diversion of the channels of trade w
necessarily cause. It is proposed to supply the
whole West and North-West by landing goods
at New Orleans, direct from Europe, and trans-
|K>riing them thence up the Mississippi; and
even to supply Philadelphia and New York via
( hurleston. These views are not so visiouary
as would seem at first thought. It is entirely
practicable and will be accomplished, unless the
United States Government recognize us as a
nation independent of them, and apply their new
tariir law to a‘l importations from the South.—
So long ns they insist upon us being a part of
the Union, they cannot make any tariff law ap
plicable to goods going from our ports iuto theirs.
Large mercantile palaces in New York and
Philadelphia are now for sale, and leases on
large warehouses are being offered at half their
cost and former rents, but no one is willing to
take them. Commercial ruin is upon them, and
nothing can save them from it but a speedy re
cognition of our Government and a readjust
ment of their tariff, that will enable Southern
merchants to purchase from them upon advan
tageous conditions.
The etate Convention,
At Savannah, is still wrangling on the Reduc
tion question, and appears to Le no nearer an
agreement than at first. So far, nothing lias
been accomplished that looks liko a consum
mation of the matter. While in Savannah last
week, wo heard a great number of tho mem
bers of the Convention, abuse tho Legislature
for the lust ten years, because the reduction has
not been made by it. All manner of selfish
ness and low demagoguoism was chaiged on
the Legislature by those members of the Con
vention to whom we allude. They are now
going through the same routine that the Leg
islature has at nearly every session for a num
ber of years past; and we shall not bo surprised
if, when they get to the end of the farce, the
s.«me results will have been achieved.
Shall we, if they do fail to muko the reduc
tion, charge upon them the same motives which
wo heard them so freely charge on the mem-
l>ers of the Legislature ? This question is worth
considering.

The official journal nan'uses the Northern dep
uties of having taken advantage of the absence
of tho>c from the South to do this smart hit of
business and laments to Irnvc to observe this
retrograde movement from the free trade when
nil other countries are on the contrary advancing
toward tho liberty of Commerce. There Is an
other ground for lamentation In the suspicion
which Is now raised that the anti-slave declara
tions of the Northern monopolists are not so
completely animated os they ought to be by that
ardent and self-sacrificing devotion to principle
which alone can secure the triumph of a just

The Charleston Courier of tho 19th says: We
learn from a telegraphic dispatch, received
yesterday by a mercantile lo use of our city,
that the proper officer at tho Custom House at
Havre, France, has notified tho merchants of
that place that ships from the seceded States
will be admitted into that port on the same
footing as those carrying the Federal Flag.

Letter from flavannalt*
Savapnah, March 18, 1881
Messrs. IIanlritru 4 Anain: Tha Conven
tion, to day, decided to lay upon tha table for
tha remainder of tha aession, varioua proposi
lions which hsd been preoentad for the rtduc
lion of the House of Representatives, which
is equivalent to the expression of a determi
nation not to touch that House. A reconsider
ation will be moved to-morrow morning, with
out effect, I think. Under the only plan which
seems to he st all likely (o succeed, popular
representation is entirely ignored, and the real
power of the Blato is retained in the hands of
a minority of tha people—both the House and
8enate being representatives, to a large extent,
of territory. Mr. T. R. R. Cobb (with a view
of e]ualising in some degree the representa
tion.) proposed an increase of the members of
the lower House to 200; giving each oounty a
representative, and dividing the remainder in
proper proportion among the counties having
the largest population. This was not, how
ever, acceptable to the small counties. The
Convention, to day, determined to district the
Btate for representation in the new Congress,
and appointed a Committee of 21—three from
each of tho old districts—to arrange the c<
ties.
The Oidinance ratifying the Constitution, is
being signed at the convenience of the mem
bers, in the recesses of the sessions. The re
port of the Committee to arrange the 44 Sena
torial districts, will probably report to-morrow.
Tho Committee on Revision of the Constitu
tion, will probably report on Wednesday.—
Quite a large amount of business remains un
disposed of, but we hope to leave nothing of
importance unattended to, and yet adjourn by
Saturday.

Hon. James Guthrie made a speech be

The Victory of Mrs* Caines.
Tke annals of litigation furnish wo two moro
interesting or peculiar eaaei thaa tboss of
Madams Paterson Bonaparte, and of Mrs. My
ra Clark Gaines, both of whlsh haws, for ma
ny years, occupied prominent positions before,
not only tho legal profession, but the eyee sf
the world. These casee are singularly sug
gestive, and peculiarly illuatratlve of certain
phrases of American society, and ns such,
posses* other interests than those of a merely
pecuniary character. Each has reached, after
pot reeled struggles, a decision, tbs one adverse
to and the other in favor of tha claimant—4ht
one loses a 11 she deemed worth living for,
while the other gains not only a fortune of
fabulous amount, but establishes forever the
honor of her mother. Had the Imperial Court
been more klud, tho American claimant of a
kingly hand would now be in possession of a
vast estate, with her son’s legitimacy acknowl
edged before the world, while, aa it is, these
are denied her, and perhaps forever.
In view, then, of the interest of the cele
brated cause which yesterday was decided in
favor of Mrs. Gaines, by a full bench of the
Supremo Court of the United States, a brief
resume of its material facia will not be mis
placed.
Daniel Clark, who was one of the early set
tlers in ths colony of Louisians, was a very
remarkable person. His sagacity, prudence
and business tact, soon placed him at the head
of its monetary world, while hi# beauty of
person, popular character, and agreeable man
ners afforded him a similar position in the so
cial circle. In 1802 he became acquainted in
Philadelphia with a lady of extraordinary per
sonal beauty, named Zulime Carriers. She
was born in tha old French colony of Biloxi,
aud her parents were emigrants from the laud
of poetry and romance—Provence—the favor
ite home of the Troubadours. When Clark
first met her, she had t een living in wedlock
withaswindlcr nmued Jerome DeGrunge, who,
having dazzled her with a glittering coronet,
married her, and then disclosed the astound
ing facts that he was a confectioner and n big
amist. Zulime appealed for protection to
Clark, who being warm hearted and chival
rous, at once espoused her cause, and after
becoming convinced that De Grange had an
other wife living, espoused herself. The mar
riage was kept secret, and in 1800 Myra, now
Mrs. Gaines, was born. Being naturally de
sirous ot having her connection with Clark a
publicly acknowledged one, Zuliuie went to
New Orleans to obtaiu legal proofs of her first
husband's rascality. While she was gone,
Clark, who had grown into un influential pol
itician, became enamored of Miss Catou, a
grand-daughter of Charles Carroll, with whom
he contracted an engagement, though when re
ports were brought to Miss Caton alleging her
lover's marriage to Zulime, she at once iusisi
ed upon a release from the engagement, and
she subsequently became the Marchioness of
Wellesley.
In tho meantime, Zulime had returned to
Philadelphia, and sought to obtain proofs of
her marriage with Clark, who had, with sin
gular treachery, destroyed all that he could
discover. Finding herself helpless, in a
strange country, aud with a child dependent
upon her, she was wholly at a loss what to do
A CUomaut Hear the Throne,
A oat# DOW szeiting much comment on both
tide# of iko water ji* that of Mr#. Lavinia
Jannotia Horton Ryvss, who claims to b#
Priaooss of CumbarUnd and Duchess of Lan.
caster, and of tho Royal blood.
“Viewed from tho stand point of ths oliamant
tbo history of th# oase is this: fa 17C8,
OUva Wilmot, daughter of a clergyman of tbo
Churoh of Ragland, and of hisvlfo, who was
a daughter of Slaalelau# of Poland, was mar
ried to ths Duke of Cumberland, brother of
GoorgelH. The marriage was #tte#t#d by
lung the Karl of Chatham, and tho Karl of
Warwick. In 1772, a daughter was bom and
named Oliva, being baptised os the daugh
ter of tbs Duke of CombsrltDd, In presence of
witnesses. After her marriage with the Duke,
her father unlawfully married another wifa,
that committing bigamy. In order to protect
him from punishment of this crime, the Kinp
directed that the child just spoken of shoulc
be again baptized under another name; this
was accordingly done, and the infant was de
prived of her rights. At the same time, the
King signed a private declaration of her lagi*
timacy as his neice, gave her a large in-
come, made her Duchess of LanoasteiC and
finally, by his will, bequeated to her i! Id,000
and another acknowledgement that she was
his neice. It is said that the Duke of Kent,
the father of Queen Victoria, was convinced
of this child’s legitimacy, and that he made
her a large allowance, on his death, leaving to
his daughter Victoria a recommendation to
take cere of his “dear cousin Oliva."
This child, grown to womanhood, married
Tliomus Herrs, bore a daughter Lavinia, and
in due course of time died; not however, be
fore sho had unsuccessfully pressed her olai
to the honors of royallty, a claim dismissed
by the House of Commons in IH'22.
Her daughter Lavinia, now Mrs Ky ve.«,
the present ao'ive claimant for the same h
ors, and she has made one step toward suc
cess, by gaining a decision in the Probate
Court whioti establishes her as the legitimate
daughter of her parents. She now proposes
to show that her mother, the Oliva above spo
ken of, was the legitimate daughter of the
Duke of Cumberland and neice of George III
and there the case rests for the moment.
Those who scoff at this eiaim say that
the whole affair is a well concocted scheme of
fraud and forgery. They say that the prelcn
ded signitures of Karas Chatham and Warwick
to the grandfather's marriage are forgeri
that of Chat bain, at least. They say that the
pretendei acknowledgments of the King,
Gerrge 111., are spurious, and that he never
made such a will as that attributed to him.—
But the Courts will soon decide tbo“ amuer,
and the question of the genuineness of signa
lures will probably he treated in such a manner
ua to give a precedent of some vulue for the use
of our own Courts.—N. Y. Tribune.
Reclaiming Fallen Women.—The move
ment in London for the reformation of fallen
women ha9 been attended with remarkable
results. Similar measures have been adopted
in large cities of Great Britiau with success.
In Glasgow, over two huudred have been re
ocived into tho Refuge and provided with eni
■ u wn wuvm ployuieut, mainly through tho efforts of a sin
and, in her destitution, ^driven almost to ties j gln^lady,
pair, sho accepted the hand of Dr. Garden
who, with kindness aud geuerosity, united
bis fortune with hers. Clark, in the mean
time, had become peuitent, hut, on hastening
to find his former love, ascertained that she
was the wife of another. He took the child
Myra, placed her under tho care of a friend,
and had her most liberally educated. Zulime , ...
lived for a long liu.e after that, attained I he I hem back to vice the seceastone wereeu-
ago of 78 years', and died at No* Orleans but I couragiugly limited, in Dublin too, a similar
and many more have applied, but have been
rejected, from the want of menus fur their
port. Of 1G3 who had been received in over
a twelvemonth, only twenty had relapsed,
and nearly all these had returned of their own
accord, bitterly repenting their weakness, and
desiring further opportunity of reformation.
As the most insidious means were adopted to
age of 78 years,
a few years since.
Clark, whore business talent was proverbial,
amassed an immense fortune in Louisiana,
Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland, which lie
bequeathed by will, in 1813, to his mother
Mary Clark, naming Beverly Chew and Rich
ard Relf, bankers cf New Orleans, as execu
tors. Charges have been preferred against
the executoi-Bof had faith and mismanagement,
but however that may be, Myra—tlien Mrs.
Whitney—having discovered at maturity that
her mother had been the wife of the deceased
millionaire, with an impulse of honorable af
fection for which she cannot be too highly
praised, determined to assert her right, as the
legitam&le child and consequent heiress, to
the entire property.
That she met with opposition and with ob
stacles of all sorts may well be imagined, but
she battled for her mother’s honor, and evin
ced the most commendable spirit and perse
verance, in spite of most fearful odds, llor
husband died, but she remarried, and in so
doing enlisted a powerful auxiliary in the per
son of Gen. Gaines, who believed iu her le
gitimacy, and aide! her with all bis might.—
It would be wearis me merely to index the va
rious legal struggles, the attempted social os
tracisms, the tracheries, the sorrows, the hopes
and fears experienced by Mrs. Gainas in this
work of her lifetime. She sued iu numerous
Courts, with varied success, until her fortune
was gone, her friends convinced of the use
lessness of further trial, and all but her own
indomitable spirit fled. She still struggled
on, aud, as a last resort, brought the case in
its amplitude and its labyrinths of legal tech
nicalities to the Supreme Court of the land.
Thsre, after a long and patient hearing, she
has obtained her victory. Ths Court has
unanimously decided that Myra Clark Gaines
is the only legitimate child of Daniel Clark,
and that, as such, she is entitled.to all pro
perty left by him. Nor are the years and en
ergies of the courageous woman too far spent
to prevent her enjoyment of her vast wealth.
Mrs. Gaines, though now in her fifty-fifth
year, is represented as being an agreeable spe
cimen of what old people delight iu calling “la
dies of the old school." Hhe is in good health,
and possesses nu abundant flow of animal
spirits, which have buoyed her up for over
thirty years under circumstances of au uuu-
sually trying nature.
Mr. Justice Wayne, in closing the decision
of the Court, sccm9 to have placed peculiar
and significant emphasis on the words, that
the Supreme Court would see that the provis-
of the Decision were carried into effect—
a statement of more than ordinary importance
when we refleot that possibly ths State of
Louisianna may decline to take cognisance
of, or be bound by, a decree emanating from
less a tribunal than the Supreme Court of
tho 'Mats United Slates of America."
