Thus a largo e mount oi the moat recent and valuable sci- « .1 title iuformation, oovering the whole range . f scientific inquiry and research, is brought together in the ••Monthly,” through which it is disseminated at a moderate expanse. To the student of scienoe, to the man of educa tion, soch a periodical is invaluable, and Horn them it cannot fail to receive a liberal tupport. • The subscription price of “The Popular Science Monthly " is five dollars per annum, < r eight dollars with “Appleton’s Journal.** The Nf.oko Vote the Hors or the Giust- irt; — Chevalier Forney is most patliotic in lu-t appeals to tbo negroes to stand by Grant, j It? hopes “It will not be recorded among the evidences of the unfitness of the colored peo ple for self-government, thst while so many of the leaders of the ‘superior race' are wil ling to consign the General Government to tin* under mercies of the rebel Democracy, t!,o colored people bravely confide in it, and declare their determination to stand by it to the end." What would have becomo of this glorious Uepublic if tbo negroes had not been enfranchised and called to the rescue? Little did our revolutionary ancestors think that the African slaves whom thoy purchased from the English and Yankee slave traders, wers t » bo fho saviors of tho Republic when their own degenerate race should prove themselves unworthy tho heritage of liberty.

As a specimen of lh» resolutions adopted by this gathering of j. egro political puppets we give tho following • struct from a resolution introduced by a delegate by the name of Chester: ••litsolved, That we now, as ever, prefer our own ladies to any white women in this l.md, both for their beauty and purity, which ).*vd ever remained an ornament to the rex when bayond the control of our white fellow- citijtcus." Another amendment to tho Constitution was proposed at the Tremout Temple, in Jtjston, on Sunday evening, establishing an •-unquestionable basis for Christian educa tion in our common schools, and for every other Christian feature of our national life.” Tho New York IFor/J suggests os prelimina ries to tho adoption of such an amendment, first, that tho representatives of the various Christian sects—Catholics and Calranists, J’fcsbyterinn and Poseyites-.be summoned to decide immediately what shall be the rproitiouable basis” whereon to build tional church ami a common school cate chism; and, Ftoond, that a prefatory act of Congress be procured disfranchising all Uni tarians.

Some are in favor of a hostile demon stration upon Mexico. Others, including Grant himself, mvor a quarrel with Spain, and within the few days past there has been a manifest stiffening in administrative circles on the consequential damage question, as if in the desperate hope of consolidating the Grant dynasty they would ri«k a conflict with England. Alluding to the determination of the President and cabinet to persist in their absurd claim for consequential damages, Chevalier Fornev. in his Philadelphia Press s: According to the view- expressed yester day by Secretary Fiab, our Government is disposed to stand steady on the treaty ques tion, yielding not one iota to England's clamorous demand* That we have the power to lores England to a fulfilment of her bond, no one ean doubt; and if we are, as Secretary Fish believes, so far oommitted on the question as to render it impossible for us to honorably recede from the position we have taken, there are few people in our land who will not give their consent to have the force which we possess made use of in se curing the rights from us by England with held.” Such blaster is worthy very little consider ation. It is not at all probable that the Amer ican people will consent to try an issue of force with Great Britain for the maiotainance of a claim that has been so universally pro nounced preposteroos and absurd. Nor are the bond-bolder* likely to favor a policy fraught with each peril to their interests. The owners of the hundreds of millions of United States securities now running. Usd better assume and pay any reason able amount of consequential damages claimed from England, than permit the country to be involved in a war with that or any other formidable power.

A Ji ire Radical Scheme on the Tapis THE FLORIDA GOVERNORS. The Case Before the Supreme Court, The Use or Tobacco. We observe that a very lively discussion on the use of tobacco reoently occurred at the meeting of the New York Methodist Con ference, on a resolution recommending entire abstinence from the use of tho weed. The venerable Dr. Richardson made a spirited de fence. He said that after arriving at man hood be was attacked by a distemper which all efforts of physicians failed to relieve, bat which was cored by smoking. On his subse quently attempting to abandon the practice, a recurrence of the disease took place, which led him to resume the habit. He afterward began the practice of chewing tobacco, using it in a cleanly manner, without expectorating, and he bad lived to the age of eighty-tbree in excellent health. “He felt like blessing to bacco every morning of his life.” One mem ber of the Conference testified that thensa of tobacco bad aided to prevent a loosening of his teeth, and that the temporary relin- qnisbmenUof the practice had been attended with disastrous results. Another member recounted tho benefits his wife bad derived from the occasional use of a cigar, which was the only manner in which she could obtain relief from asthma. Despite these arguments, however, the resolution was passed. There arc, says tho Richmond Whig, fa natical people who regard the use of tobacco *s onoof the deadly Bins, and would not tol erate its nse if it cared all tbo diseases that Icvb is heir to. This war upon it will con- tune to go on, and without producing the desired reformation, if reformation it can be CAlled. FeopVi will continue tc smoke, chew and snuff in spfe» of all that shall be preached or written against "the naxioms weed.” They find a comfort in it Unt nothing else affords. People who do not like il wit not use it, snd it is extremely foolish in tho^ with whom it does not agree to indnige in iti use. Thoro addicted to its use should sloljoasly avoid no using it as to incommode otters. If its indulgence is not in violation of good morals it may be so managed as not to violate good -manners. Cosciu iTiso the Nkueo Vox*.—-Ths nomi nation of Parker, (a brother-in-law of Beast Datl«r) to be Surveyor of the port of Nsw Orleans, viceLongstreet, has been withdrawn l>y Gruut and a negro by the name of In- grahm substitated for the position.

Wendell Phillips delivered an address at Boston on Thursday evening before the In ternational Grand Lodge of tbo Knights of St. Crispin, on tho labor question, in which lie predicted tho downfall of Republicanism; nud lauded the efforts of the working men to organise, promising them if they stood by each oilier faithfully that they could elect tho Prerident in 18TC. He wanted to see tho fiuaucial system of the country so recon structed that money could be had at three jx-r cent, instead of ten, and gardens and books and beautiful things given to the work ing classes, who, in bis opinion, ought never to work more than eight hours a day. The caose of woman's rights bad one of tho>© triumphs; which do not amount to much iu the Massachusetts Mouse of Repre sentatives on the 15th iust A bill was pend ing. by whioh a grant of one hundred thous and dollars was to be made toAmborst College. A proviso was offered, making the payment of the grant contingout upon the admission of women to the college, and this was passed by a vote of 10C yeas to C7 nays. So far every- thing went swimmingly, and would have eon- tinned to go so, only tbo House took it into iu head to kill the blU without a count, and by an ovtrwbelmlng majority. Tho Secretary of the Navy acknowledges that it has coat within a fraction 'of a half million dollars to fceep a naval fores near San Domingo during tho peodeney of the Grant negotiation with Baes for the purchase of that territory. This Is simply ode of the in cidental expenses of that speculation. The amount of public money spent directly by the Grant and Bsbooek ring never has been frilly revealed, but it was undoubtedly a corres pondingly heavysum. The Mobile Tribune says that "the hotel- * keepers in Meridian and in other paits of tbe But* hat. rewind to eloao th.fr boocMM ■M|l« ro^Of^Mlity bill broom,* * 1.W, vbra it U b.U.yod that tbo people will teetmmcdttt irortUus who ue known to bo lodtoo oad gentlemen freo of oblige, lot tbo BMkoro of tUo Infamous law shift for A Bankrupt Biejro Government. Tho Charleston Courier announces tlat there are no fundi in the treasury of tbit State. This, says the editor, is tha reply o', the Treasurer to all demands for the just dues of the State. He no longer conceals that the treasury is bankrupt, and the present Ad ministration ucable to pay or meet its cur rent expenses. The School Commissioner for Charleston county addressed an official letter to the Treasurer requesting the pay ment of the draft of $39,373 89, drawn upon the treasury by the State Superintendent for the Free School Fund, to which the county is entitled. To this comes the reply, dated “Executive Department,.State Treasury Office.” “This office is not in lundo." And again, “There is no probability of the pajment of the draft referred to, until after tho taxes are collected in the fall” Aud this statement is made in view of the fact, that from ten to fifteen mil lions of dollars have been added to the pub lic debt, without any accountability, and that during the pest year two taxes were laid and collected, amounting to over three millions of dollars; and yet the interest remains un paid, even on the undisputed public debt, and the answer comes, “No funds iu the Treasury.” Notice is given that the Public Schools of South Carolina will have to be dosed for want of funds to pay the teachers. Such is the deplorable condition to which Radical misrule and rascality has brought a State, which bankruptcy and repudiation were pre viously unknown. The ExDomsxacEjrr or Thieves.—Where is the carpet-bagger whom Grant has ever dis countenanced ? Whittemore was ejected from Congress and is allowed to appear as a Grant partisan. Bowen waa lodged in a pen itentiary and Grant forthwith pardoned him oof. Tima and again every power of the Ex ecutive has been strained lor the support, encouragement, and approbation of carpet bag thieves. The debts of the Southern States have been reported to Congress as Home $289,000,000 in the aggregate, $200, 000.000 whereof has scorned under the rob beries of the unutterable scoundrels whom Grant has so often favored, and on whom he now relic* for his Southern support. Oar own fignr^s, more accurate than those re ported to Congress since compiled from offi cial reports, show the aggregate debt of the reconstructed Slates $291,G2G,015, an increase of $215,310,125 under carpet-bag regime, while the entire debt ot all the other twenty- seven States is hot $203,000,000. Has not Grant approved, maintained, indorsed, con doned, supported the vile thieves wbo bare done this ?—• World. Tho New York Times nays that Republicans In tho BUU Lor Ul*t are are preparing tho way lor a Democratic victory in that State nest fall. This looks bod for G*n. Grant, but th* Ttnus wyn it. OoLoaxD Troops.—The Secretary of War has transmitted to Congress a statement of the number of colored soldiers enlisted dur ing the war, their previous condition, anri tho amounts of monuy required to pay tl* enlisted slaves bounty. The total numbs ed was 178,975; of whioh ltf,42ft vsil slaves. Under existing laws slaves enlisted subsequent to July, 1861, art entiled to bounty the seme as freeman. The number unlisted prior to July, 1861, and who are el- lowud bounty under the bill pending in the Military Committee, is 21,037, and of this number at least one-fifth have forfeited any claim upon the Government by desertion and other causes. The Becrotaiy states thst in case the bill passes, two million, dollars will be required to pay the bounty allowed. The communication was referred to the Com mutes os Military Affairs. UMesmimaiB This looks like business. Since tho first of January there bare been shipped from the phosphate beds. Marine aud River Company, Bull River, four cargoes; Coosaw Mining Company, Coosaw River, two cargoes; Oak Point, four cargoes; making a total of seven thoasand two hundred and seventy-five tors. In addition to this, the bark Ebenezer cleared March Stb, 1872, with five hundred and fifty-four tons of cotton seed, and there is in port, now louding, the British bark Flora, foreign bark Hans George (landing ooal), American ship Mary G. Reed, Ameri can ship Energy, American ship Eobona. This amount of foreign commerce is a new impulse. The penetration of the pine wot ds by the Port Royal Railroad has developed quite a lumber trade. Six new mills are in operation, and four in progress of building on that line, and more to follow. This will make Port Royal quite a lumber mart. The tenniuus of the Port Royal Railroad is at Battery Point, five miles below Beau fort, passing within one mile. Thu city, now maped out on paper, is situated on the Pen insular, which extends up six miles, aver aging about two miles in width. For two miles.from the terminus tho laud is owned by the Port Royal Railroad ring. As two miles square is not as large as two by four, the town lots are extended so as to make it a great city. A rate of two lots, 25 by 100, were recently sold at two hundred dollars each, near the tenninuB and wharf. The balance is withdrawn until the map is lithographed, when a great sale is to come off. There is considerable talk of speculation, but no action, except the sale of the two lots. The fixed fact that it will be completed is now admitted, and with our railroad rings striving for supremacy, no one can foretell what changes this nevr thoroughfare to the a may produce. Traveler. Another one of Gen. Grant’s friends and appointees (says the Philadelphia Age) Las been indulging in a little Radical financier- Geo. D. Orner, Collector of Revenue for the Fifth District of Missouri, has only served two years, and yet his records show that he is $100,000 behind in paying over Government money; $50,000 per year in ad dition to his regular pay is good wages for Orner, wbo is a red hot sapporter of Grant for reoomination, and denounces Sumner, Trumbull and Scliurz os traitors and disloyal men. In all quarters of tho couutry General Grant's office-holders are Ete&ling the people’s money, in sums from one Luudred dollars to a half million. And what is done to punish the guilty parties and protect the Treasury? Nothing. Political influences are brought to bear upon the Government; the ability of the culprits to elect delegates stated, and there the matter ends. In tho case of Orner this path will be followed, and be will enjoy bis plunder in poacc. Thu Germans and General Grant.—A Re publican correspondent of the Chicago JW- bai.e, writing from Germantown, Penn., says: The question with the Germans is simply this; Did 00,000 Germans, at tbo breaking out of the rebellion, shoulder tbeir mnsk~ts in defonce of their adopted country ? Yes, they ull say. A few years after, did Graut’s administration not only sell the same guns that were used by thosj Germans to put down the rebellion, but manufacture missiles of war and sell them to the French to butcher their brothers and relations at home? They all say yes to that. “Ingratitude, more strong than traitor’s arms, quito vanquished him.” That rankles in their hearts, aud, us far as I am abl* to judge—and I have talked with hundreds of them—the German vote in this Slate will be Kolid against Grant. You may think I am too sanguine, but I am not; I know what 1 am talking about. Tho same writer declares that if Curtin can be prevailed on to take the stump against Grant and in the interests of the Cincinnati movement, the State can be carried for the htter by 20,000 majority.

[Special Telegram to the Morning News.] Appropriations nr Cokuress for Pctcjlic Buildings.—The bill making appropriations for public buildings, was considered in com- mit^e last week, and the following appro priations agreed: For Philadelphia, $1,500,- 000; Covington, Kentucky, $100,000; Mem phis, $200,000; Nashville, $150,000; Mont gomery, $75,000; Atlanta, $100,000; Lynch burg, $150,000: Austin, Texas, $100,000; Dunkirk, New York, $50,000. The bill which has not yet been reported to the House, and probably will not be this session, makes ap propriations for public buildings in some one hundred cities and towns throughout the country. It will be seen that Atlanta is to get $100,000. The Congressional Signers.—The New York Tribune oi Friday published corrected lists of the Republican members of thuHonye of Representatives who did and did not sign letters approving Grant's administration and his re-nomination. The following statement is appended: Tne whole number of signers was acventy- four, a little more than half the Republican strength in tbe House. There were probably about a dozen or twenty absentees. The whole project, it will Lu seen, absolutely failed, aud it is doubtful if even thirty names could now be obtained in Congress to a paper declaring the Ant choice of the signers for tho next President to be Gen. Grant So the Administration seems to have lost consider able strength iu Congress since tbe military Ring and their organ m this eity attempted to rnako a list of one hundred members in favor of Grant Wendell PhiUipps (good Black Republican authority) is another man wbo thinks that the Radical party has finished its mission and should wind up business. He thinks it oannot live upon the past He says “I think, whether tbe present Republican party elects Grant or defeats bim.it will go to pieces in tho effort, for it oannot live on shadow. The man who tried to make his horse eat rhavings lost him just when ho found out the trick, and the Republican party cannot livo cn the shavings ot the past ten years.” The official vote of Connecticut gives Jewell a majority 2,001 over Hubbard, and 28 over ell others. 41) the Republican candidates for State offices are elected by majorities ranging from 490 to 531.

There is a report circulating here, and very generally credited among Democrats and others who have not already sold out to the Reform Republican movement, to the effect that should the Cincinnati Convention nomi nate a ticket for President and Yice-Preai- dent which, in tbo judgment of the man agers of tbe Philadelphia Convention, can not bo bcaton by Grant, then the Philadel phia concern will nominate Grant, who will formally decline the nomination on the ground of a desire to harmonize the Repub lican factions, and will recommend that the Philadelphia Convention endorse the nomi nation made at Cincinnati, thereby preserv ing the Republican organization. WHAT grant’s FRIENDS THINK. This scheme, it is said, meets the hearty approval of all the President’s friends in and out of Congress, and is regarded as a shrewd move on his part to prevent being disgraced by an overwhelming defeat A CONUNDRUM. In the event of the success of this scheme, what will tbe Democrats do—especially those who havo been so eager to throw their party, bound band and foot, into the arms of the Cincinnati Convention? THE BALLOT-STUFFING BILL. The bill to extend the power of the Presi dent to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in the Southern States—or, rather, to enable the President to force those States into voting the Radical ticket at the next Presidential eloction—is made the special order in the Senate for to-morrow. It may pass the Sen ate, but, it is thought, stands no chance in the House. SOUTHERN CLAIMS. The House bill, instructing the Southern Claims Commission to report at onco on claims already examined, comes up in tho Senate to-morrow, and will undoubtedly pass. THE DILL FOR REFUNDING THE COTTON TAX. It is not believed that tho bill for refund ing the cotton tax will be acted on this ses- bion, but should action be reached, it is the opinion here that the bill will be dtfeatoJ. Seminole. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, April 23.—At the meeting of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, a letter was received from the Secretary of State, stating thAt pending the correspond ence cn the Claims it is not expedient or ad visable to make any declaration upon the subject os contemplated by the resolution heretofore offered by Judge Peters and re ferred to that Committee. The President to-day nominated Wm. Ber tram, of Missouri, to be Consul at , and several naval officers for promotion to higher grades. Representative Peters is in receipt of nn- morons letters from prominent persons in the coahtry, endorsing lys resolution against the presentation of claims for consequential damages before tho Tribunal of Arbitrators. Tbe Senate tc-day adopted a resolution declaring Abbot not entithd to a seat as Senator from North Carolina, wiihont di vision. The Deficiency Appropriation bill was dis cussed without final action. In the House, a number of bills, granting pensions, removing political disabilities, etc., were entroduccd and referred. There was an animated debate on the Goat bland bill, without final action. Tho Houso is setting to-night on the Pen sion bill. Tallahassee, April 23, 1872. REED VERSUS DAT. The Supreme Court to-day took up the case of Harrison Reed against Samuel J. Day, in the matter of the disputed Governorship. . Popular sympathy seems to lean toward Reed, and it is hinted that tbe Court will decide in his favor. Tbe argument is still progressing. THE ASSEMBLY. Day’s order convening the Assembly dees not seem to have met with a very ready res- pouse from the members. There was no quorum present yesterday. To-day, however, the Radicals claim a quorum, and it is quite likely that to-morrow will develop some lively proceedings. Iola. TIIE ELGEE COTTON CASE. Washington. April 23.—The famous Elgee cotton case, so long pending, was decided in favor of the title of C. V. Woodruff & Co. represented by R. M. Corwine, of Washing ton, and C. M. Conrad, of New Orleans, the jadgment being for some three hundred and sixty-six thousand dollars. It has been erro neously stAted that the trill of this case waa delayed to await the decision of the Sapreme Court on the constitutionality of the so-called Drake amendment, relating to the effect of Presidential pardons in the Coart of Claims.

The performance is generally characterized as an outrage upon the decency of New York. It is stated that Bartlett, one of Stokes’ counsel, has withdrawn, owing to a disagree ment with John Graham.

Atmospheric Diseases. sir. without which bo crca Ira, is the source of dlsesaea ot which millions die. At this season, especially, tha atmosphere ia fall of the germs of mtuy kinds of tickneso. Every glo bule of the mist and fog which cloud tbe earth and aky In spring holds in solution Its portion of mias matic poison. The evil effects of this a-rial vims can only be cer tainly averted by increasing the vital activity of the system and seenring the fall and free exercise ot all its natural /Unctions, aod hence it is, that Hostetter’a Stomach BitWs, the great nerve etreugthener, regu lator and antidote to malaria, is imperatively required the spring months. It Is at this time, too. that Dyspepsia assumes its most distressing types and that persons of kilioua habit usually suffer mod. There is an influence in the air which depresses tbo spirits as well as the physical energies, and in order to restore their elas ticity tonic treatment is absolutory necessary. Ail the world knows that the wonderful efficacy of Hostetter’s Bitters. Incases of indigcstlon.hilionsneas, nervous prostration and malarlona fever, is due to ths potency of its tonic, alterative and aperient materials and tne absolutely pore stimulant with which they are Incorporated. It is because the public havo been taught by twenty years* experience that the article can be implicitly trusted—inasmuch aa It performs uniformly and cer tainly all that it la advertised to do-that they prefer this sovereign tonic to every other. Hence Its im mense and ever-increasing sales, and hence, too, alas! tho many counterfeits and imitations, again*t which there is no safeguard axeept the close scrutiny of tbe purchaser. ap22-eodawlw.
