COLUMBIA, S. C Thursday Morning, May 2,1872. Th? l?ew City Bonds. The Union pretends that it is arable to understand our position with regard to the sale of the new city bonds. Our previous artiole was intelligible enough for any person of ordinary capacity; but, for the benefit of the Union, and as we desire to say something further on the matter any way, we will take occa? sion to define our position, so that even our wayfaring cotemporary may not err therein. In our candid judgment, there is no assured benefit to the city, no matter what sum of money may.be realized, by the sale of the banda. As mnoh as $175,000 or $200,000 may be received, and pass into the control of tho Council, aud yet Columbia never have a City Hall, new market, or other adequate public improvements. The uniform course of Radical officials in this regard, in every single moneyed transaction relating to State or municipal affairs, does surely justify serious apprehension on this Boore. But, ns we said before, we be? lieve that tbere are some oolored mem? bers, at least, of the present Council, who desire to do what is right and for the interests of the city, and we therefore deem it preferable to take the risk of the Council gobbling up the money or mis? appropriating it, to the certainty of loss which must ensue.f rom a sacrifice of the bonds. It the bonds sell for very little, or an inadequate sum, we can have no City Hall and Market, no matter how much honest counsel may prevail among the oity fathers. If, on the other hand, the bonds sell well, only the subsequent evil conduot of the Council can prevent the ereotion of the buildings. There is a chance here, however the "preponder? ance of probabilities" may be against it; and, therefore, we hope that the bonds may bring their worth, and will do what we can to effect that end. Surely onr position thus far can be apprehended by the most obtuse intelli? gence. Now, as to our suspicions of a design to "bear" the bonds, whioh the Union also insinuates, were, not very clearly stated. We are not much versed in financial slang, but havo understood that the word "bear" is used in contradis? tinction to "bull," and signifies, when used in reference to bonds or other secu? rities, to depreciate them, or depress them below their real value. It was in this sense we nsed it in referring to the probable motive that actuated the report of the Committee of Ways and Means upon the resources of the city. The estimates therein contained, we have, in onr judgment, conclusively shown to have been far below the proper figures. This error was to be accounted for in some way, and our suspicious nature, so prompt to take alarm when we see Radi? cal officials and public moneys in danger cf collision, led us to see a design to "bear" or depreciate the bonds. There are two wave in whioh the city can be swindled in connection with the new bonds. The one is by scheming soamps "conniving, colluding and con? spiring together" to depreciate them, that they may be purchased at a price far below their value. The other is, by the same scheming soamps, or others equally reprehensible, making way mys? teriously with the proceeds of the b jnde, as was done with the $130,000 last year. There seems to us more danger of the first method being attempted at present, or, at IsaBt, of its being attempted first. We, therefore, shall now turn our batte-, rios against that objective point. When that danger is removed or avoided, and the bonds have been sold and the money paid into the City Treasury, we will then give what aid we can to those who desire to seo it honestly applied to the purposes for whioh it was expressly designed by the Legislature, when the Act authoriz? ing the sale of the bonds was passed. It seems to us a very flimsy pretext of the Union, that there ia danger of a com? bination among the bankers and brokers to chill the Bale of tho bonds, and buy them for a mere song. There are too many bankers and brokers in Colombia, Charleston, New York, and other oitiea, who know of the proposed sale, to lead any reasonable being to fear that they will concoct a grand conspiracy to gob? ble $250,000 of city of Columbia bonds. If there ba no connivance on the part of the seller?, to one need fear the buyers. Let a proper exhibit of the resources of the city be made, and a fair sale be made, in such quantities aa will best suit bona fide purchasers, and the honda are bound to bring a close approximation to their value. As far aa public salo ia concerned, we aro unable to eeo why that shonbl pro? ven t the Council from makiug just aa favorable negotiations es they could at private sale. Let them take jest snob steps to advise capitalists of the sale aod of the resources of the oitj as they would do if privately negotiating for the same, and equally goodA results must follow. The publio Bale prevents the bonds being secretly disposed pf, and, in a measure, compels some showing hereafter to be made of the proceeds. If publio offloials are dishonest, it is impossible to devise any scheme by whioh money will be safe that passes through their hands; but there is less opportunity for under-handed transac? tions in a pnblio sale of the bonds, than if they were allowed to be manipulated by a few men, seoretly, and at such times as they might see proper. The legal guardians of the city have every neces? sary powor to protect her interests in tho, sale of these bonds. The only question is, "Quia cuslodiet ipsos cuslodes?" A Tester. If any further proof was wanting to show to what extremities the present Radical State administration has pushed us, here in this State, it was furnished yesterday. In referring heretofore to the many ills that hare been brought upon us by the same cause, we have dealt kindly, hoping, as it were, for a more pleasant future. One by one have these hopes been dashed to pieces, and yet have we kept back our feelings, still hoping. Swallowed up in disasters brought on by the State administration, our remarks upon the extreme measures need by President O rant in furthering his object-the securing of a renomina? tion at the Philadelphia Convention have been tempered, as it were, with more of forbearance than would have been otherwise the case. We have rather chosen to deal with affairs here at home, immediately touching the every-day business, every man in the community, and the pockets of the tax-payers. It will be remembered by the older citizens of this city, that through the varying fortunes of war, and the still more grind? ing impoverishment immediately there? after, there never was a time when the claims of the destitute and the demands of public charity were forgotten. Never were the heart-strings of the tax-payers -then, as now, heavily burdened-BO hardened by these demands as not to readily respond to the calls of suffering humanity. Through all this, the Lunatio Asylum, one of these publio chargea, went on and was t.nrned over to the new Govern? ment intact, as it were, with all its claims to their sympathy. Yesterday was the comparison made. The Superintendent of this institution was on the streets in quest of food, even to meet the demands of the day, there not being, as we were credibly informed, enough food for a dinner for the inmates. Upon applica? tion to the principal fugleman of the party-the representative man of the party here-a cold denial greeted him; and, finally, the result was, that from the pure charity of one who knew the true condition of affairs, and had the heart to appreciate the sufferings of the poor lunatics, enough was granted for a day's supply; this, too, by a merchant now carrying upon his shoulders a heavy burden of State debt. These matters being known, a warrant on the State Treasurer for $2,500 was isBued. But what is this? Simply what is post due, and the fntnre is as bad as ever. We refrain from entering into all the details here, feeling that those who know can appreciate. We only add that already those of our citizens, who went through the fire, not forgetting their trusts, are seriously considering the pro? priety of taking npon their own shoul? ders the duty of caring for the publio charges of the State, which have been negleoted and disregarded by tho money loving and absorbing administration that has brought about this beautiful state of affairs. No explanation is needed for this statement of our pnblio affairs. What most interests us here at home, is, where bas tho appropriated money gone for the support of the publio charges of the State? AN UNASKED RETRACTION.-The Wash? ington Chronicle, under this heading, publishes the following article: In an article on the affairs of South Carolina, whioh appeared in the Chroni? cle, of Saturday last, it was said that we knew Senator T. J. Robertson to have need a large sum of money, naming the sum, to seoure his re-election. The statement was written and published without the oonsent or knowledge of the principal editor of this paper, and in his absence. We do not know any auoh thing, On tho contrary, after au acquaintance and friendship of four years, tho editor of thia journal does not know a Bingle dis? honest or dishonorable aot dona by Se? nator Robertson; and he takes occasion further to say .that he believes him to be a man of excellent judgment, large saga? city, great capacity for business, unusual firmness of oharaoter, and sound Repub? licanism.

Brown and S. O. Wiggins, two win to men, were brought to the oity, yesterday afternoon, under arrest, and taken before a Trial Justice, on the charge of being implicated in the killing of a oolored man, named Thorin Grant, on last Mon? day, iu St. James' Goose Greek. From the affidavits upon whioh the prisoners are confined, and their own statements, the following facts are taken: Last Mon? day afternoon, about 2 o'clock. Brown and Wiggins, who are planting a place ou Goose Greek, belonging to the Kev. Mr. Miles, went out shooting fish in the oreek. After they had been gone some time their powder gave ont, and they re? turned to the house for more. While re? turning they met Grant and talked with him Borne time, he laughing with them and claiming tho load in the gun as his own, as he had loaded it with his own ammunition in Mr. Wiggins' absence. The two prisoners proceeded on their hunt and captured a large flab. They then started back, and the gun was placed in the bottom of the boat. They soon got back to where Grant was sitting on the edge of the canal, and Brown states that he wa? busily pushing the boat along when suddenly tho gun was discharged and he saw Grant double up and fall over. Wigcrins states tbat he had the gun, without knowing it was loaded, pointed toward Grant, who told him to be careful and hold tbe muzzle down. He was doing this wbeu the piece wan discharged. Wiggins then jumped out of the bont and waded to Grant, put his arm around him and said, "Oh, Grant, you know it was nu occident." Grant morely said "Ob, my God, I am shot," and died almost immediately. The load of shot had gone clear through his breast. Tho prisoners, seeing he wa? dead, left the bj dy where it fell, and, taking a wagon at the house, drove to Poroher's Station, ou the North-eastern Bailroad, for the purpose of taking the train to the city and delivering them? selves up to the proper authorities. In the meantime the body was found by some colored people, who speedily spread the Dews abroad. Tho colored people were highly excited, and a large orowd, armed with guns, knives, poles, ic, Blurted iu pursuit of the prisoners. The latter were found at tho station, and were immediately taken into custody by the mob. The more infuriated present? ed their guns and knives, and wanted to kill the two prisoners outright, but for? tunately others who were more mode? rate in their views succeeded in restrain? ing the mob. Surrounded by the crowd, the two white men wore then iaken fruin the depot toward the scene of the acci? dent. Their captors pressed upon them on every side, and, while passing through a field, Brown was struck and knocked senseless by a blow upou the buck of the head. The crowd carried the men be? fore the father of the deceased Grant, and they here stated how the killing had been the result of accident. The father heard their statement, and must have been persuaded it was au accident, as for the time he was judge aud jury, and any extremo sentence from him would, doubtlessly, have been executed by the infuriated orowd. Yesterday morning the prisoners were conveyed by their captors to the depot, and brought under guard to Gharleston as first stated. [Charleston News. A VOIOB FROM THE GRAVE.-We learn of a rather singular occurrence that oc? curred at Dittermersville, on Friday last. A negro, who had been siok a short time, died on Friday morning. His body was prepared for the gravo and placed iu a shroud. At night the friends of tbe de? ceased were assembled around the oorpae chanting mournful tunes, when, to their horror, the Bupposeddead man raised op sudden); and informed them, in a sepul? chral tone, that ho was not dead. As additional proof of this assertion, he conversed with them. Rejoicing at the wonderful recovery of their friend, the negroes dispersed to toll the news. On Saturday morning, howovor, the man died a second time, and was buried iu the afternoon.-Savannah News. AN "UNPREJUDICED" JUROR.- The oou duot of Mr. Gilbert Pillsbury, ono of tbe jurors in tho United States Court, is commended to the attention of Judges Bond and Bryan. That worthy, in tho ooaree of a public speeoh delivered on Monday night, said: "I am ou a jury trying citizens of South Carolina for their offences. Against whom .were thoso offences committed? Against you, my oolored fellow-oitizensl Yes, were it Ddt for Undo Sam's bayonets, you would be whipped now for every frown, as you were before you were free."

Tile Negro In St. Thomas nnri HmxH, ?nd What he ls Destined to be In the United Stmtes. A small volume, under the title of "Ten Months in Brazil, with Notes on the Paraguayan War," by John Golman, has recently appeared in New York, and has attraoted much attention by its striking sketohes of the general condi? tion of the negro raoe in South America and the islands. The writer is a New Englander, and it is difficult to imagine, remarks a ootemporary, in reviewing the work, that the Massachusetts of to-day could have produced a volume like this. It is a manly, out-spoken protest against anti slavery fanaticism, from beginning to end; tho most earnest repudiation of the dootriue of negro equality, the most appalling revelation of the certain fruit of the intermixture of races, as made manifest in the poisoned, degraded so- | oiety which the book illustrates. These ideas crop out from every page. "These are," the author modestly says, "merely the notes of a- captain of a steamer trad? ing on the coast of Brazil. They are not mode up from books, but from such rambles about city, and country as time and opportunity permitted, and from in? tercourse with aU sorts and conditions of men." He first saw freedmen at St. Thomas: "Biding over the island, we constantly passed the ruins of plantation houses and sheds, of sugar-houses and distilleries. Tho negroes are said to have been well treated, and not over? worked, and were, therefore, in accord? ance with what was considered their place upon the scale of oreation, iu the possession of such happiness as their limited faculties would permit thom to enjoy. They have now uourly disap? peared from the back country. A few miserable wretches remain, scattered here and there, who live upon wild roots and by thieving. Wheu these resources fail, they descend to the towns and ob? tain employment, which they can al? ways do with ease. They will work long enough aud no longer than is necessary to insure thurn ugaiost starvation for a month or sn ahead, and then they return to their huts." "In our country," he goes on to say, "we huve heurd much of the licentiousness emanating from slave? ry. It remains to be seen if the morals of thu blacks will be improved by its abolition. If there was greater depra? vity in St. Thomas iu the days of bond? age than now, a degree of comparison beyond the superlative must bo used to describe it." Does not this foreshadow what South Carolina, Florida, and perhaps Louisi? ana, are rapidly becoming, from identi? cal causes? The result cannot be other? wise. If the negro is to predominate ia these States, and it looks very much like it, they will ull become like St. Thomas. The picture is dark and uuinviting for the future, but it is just what the teach? ings of abolition fanaticism have made it. The West India Islands, when tue negroes were kept under proper restraint, aud the intelligence of the white race controlled and directed the industries of those fortunato-but now unfortunate isles, were the richest and most product? ive portions of tbo now world; but now what aro they? Sunk in misery, in igno? rance and degradation, all avoid 'heir unwholesome atmosphere, and tl are fast returning to original bari - .ism. So will it bo with thu Gulf States c . the main land, and alao with Cuba, if wo do not take some speedy steps to prevent it. The writer reaches Brazil, where he gives ?B some insight into the workings of gradual emancipation, gradual amal? gamation, and gradual absorption, which is eventual annihilation in that mongrel empire. Here he finds au enthusiastic Scotchman, filled with notions of negro capacity. "Coming," says the Massa? chusetts travelor, "as we did from a country whero we knew too well how much protended love for the negro hos emanated from that politioal ambition which has made him tho mere tool for the purposes of party and of power, we could not but admire this disinterested enthusiast." Aud tho eud was failure, utter and absolutel "Our friend, the Scotch abolitionist, submits quietly ta the robbery of his hen-roosts, the steal? ing of his frnit aud vegetables, the sur? reptitious milking of his cows, and other annoyances, great and small, whioh the presenoo of these vagabonds entails. His corn ia gathered early, but it is not gathered for him; and his orop of green coffee is large for others, while thut ol ripe coffee is small for himsolf. The black lilies toil not, neither do they spin, and tho slaves are hard masters, reaping where they have not sown. When our excellent friend first made his invest? ment, ho was very inconsiderate iu ex? plaining his plaus to tho negroes. One morning, after instructing them in the mysteries of book-keeping, he added that in case4 of his death at any time, they would bo free ut onoe. On the same night, he was attacked iu bis bed by a uegro und seriously beaten over the head with an iron bar!" Suoh being thu heresy about emanci? pation, we eau easily infer tho opinions as to equality. There hos been for years, perhaps for centuries, equality iu Bra? zil, sud the result is "a composite, mon? grel, effete race, whioh munt disappear from the faoe of the earth"-and then oomes tho end. "He must be a careless observer of society who does not see that the pest of Brazil is amalgamatiou the mixture of two bloods whioh the A lmighty never intended to flow in one channel." "Brazil, however," he con? tinues, hos no such difficulties to over o.ime as those to be encountered by the United States There is no appalling question to meet-no snob problem as wo are now solving-whether distinct races shall live harmoniously, working, voting aud governing together, or whe? ther tbo weaker shall succumb before the superior. Here tbs general fusion, already so far advanced, will be com? plete, and we may predict the annihila? tion o' the whole unnatural mixture, rather thun that of either of its ingre ,dienta."-Savannah Republican.

In the Supreme Court, yesterday, Niles G.

J.

Stoibrand, that the sum of $13,333.32 of the appro? priation contained in Section 5 of an Aot entitled "An Aot to make appropriations and raise supplies for the fiscal year oommenoing November, 1870," still re? mains due and in the hands of the re? spondent, as Stute Treasurer. To the contrary, the books iu the Treasurer's office show that the entire amonnt of the appropriation of $80,000, authorized by tho said section, has been paid to said C. J. Stoibrand, with the exception of the small remainder of eight cents. "That, as State Treasurer, he haa paid to said C. J. Stolbraud. Superintendent as aforesaid, the sum of $6,666.66, on account of the appropriation of 1871, made by the General Assembly; and that the whole amount of said appro? priation would have been paid upon the warrant of the Comptroller-General, if respondent hod been pofseesed of suffi? cient funds to enable him to do so; and that there is at this time no funds in the hands of respondent with whioh to meet said appropriation or any part thereof, nor has it been io his power to pay said appropriation to any greater extent or amount than has actually been paid. "That he has never conceived it to bo his duty, when appropriations ha re been made by the General Assembly, to set aside the said amounts of money so ap? propriated, but, on the contrary, he has regarded it his rtuty to pay all appropria? tions equally and without discrimina? tion, so long as ho was possessed of the funds applicable thereto; and that at no time since the passage of the Act last re? ferred to has he been possessed of an amount of funds sufficient to enable him to set aside the several amounts therein appropriated; and that he bas accordingly paid the several appropriations made by said Act without discrimination, BO long aa be waa possessed of any ianda appli? cable thereto; and that he is ready at all times to pay said appropriation for the said State Penitentiary, aa well as all others made by law, whenever he shall become possessed of funds." And further says that be baa been notified by the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company that they hold three warrants, amouuting to $2,700.86, which wore drawn upon respondent as State Treasurer, and that he has been informed that the money npon aaid warranta waa advanced to the aaid C.
