COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, June 10,1874. Whit Could Yon Expect 1 The Union-Herald newspaper treats its readers to a dissertation upon what it calls "the result." The object is to show that the ruin and disgrace to whioh we have sunk in this State are not wholly due to the Radicals, who have had undisputed control of affairs for the last six years. Because, for? sooth, the Legislature of 1865 choose to act with eome show of spirit and belf-reapout, and, judged by the stand? ard of the Herald, committed political mistakes, therefore their successors had lesA blame for briber;, jobbery, stealing and all the infamies which the Herald and some other Radioal sheets, even more than we, have laid at their doors. That does not appear to us to be good logic. The Herald speaks too lightly of these outrages. Because the natives stood aloof, or rejected an amendment offered them, or passed the -code of laws, whioh temporarily regulated the relations between those who had been slaves and their former owners upon the apprenticeship sys? tem, the Federal authorities deter wiuud to iic^vc ** JLf&ffislfttttVd TW*cii 1 ?i be more supple. Well, they pnt them in office and power, and we know what has ensued. The Herald, whioh has very muoh moderated its expressions towards the rogues lately, yet says the stranger, in contempt of Scripture, took in the natives and everything else that came in his way. That is to say, he stole right aud left. ?'What else,'' continues the Herald, "oonld ycu expect him to do, under the circumstances?" The Herald sets op to be a reformer. It has said that the rogoes in ofBoe muBt be routed. Bat the language we quote sounds to ua very maoh like a i declaration of pardon. Expect u man to steal, as a matter of coarse, and at ' 'be same time pretend to expect that he will introduce reforms, correct i abases and respect obligations! The . thing is preposterous. The euphemiB- j tic language whioh makes the worst ( sort of rascality identical with politioal t error, and whioh makes a joke of dis- < honesty, will produce none of the j effects within the Vparty lines" whioh ] havo been promised so profusely. We , begin to fear, in fact, that the Herald's ideas of reform are suoh as can bring 1 no good result. Talk about a "tried 1 Republican at our head" as "a security , for the integrity of the party in the I State, and the honest and economical 1 administration of its pnhlio affairs 1" ' The Herald's pen, block as it is, must , have blushed as it was need in writing that sentence. The old augurs and soothsayers used to joke with each other in private at the tricks they played on the credulous in public. Can the Herald hold its laughter when it meets one of these tried Republi? cans? Would indeed they could be tried/ and they joke together upon how the strangers and natives took in everything that came in their way. It is rather too grim a joke, at least, for the people who were taken in. Under the circumstances, our neighbor ought to cease expecting that sort of thing, and demand something better. Encouraging. A German immigrant, Paul Kasulke, writes from Chester, where he is estab? lished, to our young friend, William Faber, that he is very mnoh pleased there. His employer promises to give him as much land as he may want next year. He is delighted with the place, intends to remain, and expects soon to get married. This is the right sort of an immig-ant, aud we trust that he and all his family that are to bo may live long and prosper. He says that ho would very muoh like to have a Tes? tament and hymn book, (in German,) as he has been used every Sunday either to hear or read God's Word, aud would gladly pay for them. By all means, he should have them. It would be a good idea for our German fellow-oitizens to form a society to place the saored Scriptures in tho hands of every immigrant who passes through tho place. It would proves great solace to strangers, in a couutry new to them, to have by them these records, reminding them of homo, soothing their exile and guiding them to Heaven. It is gratifying to learn, ns we do freqaently, that the men who have cast in their fortunes with our people are well satisfied, aud that agreeable relations have generally been estab? lished with their employers. -?-??-?> BitooKS Buownlow.?They have got a story out that the Rev. Mr. Brooks, of Arkansas, looks like Parson Browu low, of Teunessee. It was designed as a compliment to each, but, singularly enough, both have got mad about it. Poor Loulslun?. The desire to understand, and, if possible, better appreciate the condi? tion of Louisiana- since the terrible devastation by the Mississippi over? flow, has been universal. The people of the North could not well under? stand why Providence should, at the same time, send two euch curses as a carpet-bug government and a deluge upon the poor, buffering oitizens of one State of tho Union. So, when the news of the latter calamity came, the people hastened the more readily to give their aid to the suffering, be? cause it was hoped that in it the dire? ful calamities then burdening the State might be washed away. The depart? ure of Dr. Thomas Cottman, an old resident of Louisiana, for the desolat? ed country was audonstood to indicate the authoritative promise of govern? mental investigation and relief. This gentleman has returned from Louisi? ana and made his report. We can judge of its oontents by statements made to a New York Herald reporter. They show what a great State has been brought to by the imbecility, the lack of statesmanship and character in the Government. Gen. Grant and his minions are direolly responsible for this terrible wrong. "Between the flood and tho complicated condition of its politics," said Dr. Cottman, "I must say that I think Louisiana is in the most nnfortunato condition ima? ginable. In fact, it is a question in my mind which is preferable of the two-r?namely, to be drowned out or to live in anarchy." "The water is rapidly receding. The whites have food enough, but they have uot sufficient to divide with the negroes. . The Governmont supplies rations, regularly to the latter. I was in Poland mauy years ago, and then Baw tho frightful ravages of famine, but I saw nothing equaling the condi? tion of the poor whites and negroes in the inuudated districts of Louisiana. Misery, wretohednesa, want, despair, itre the constant companions of these p?Or Wr?i?u??." "How do the people live?" was asked. "The people live the lives of bea? rers, and from their appearauce, you would suppose that they belonged to in amphibious class of humanity. They wade in the water and wallow in iirt. For the most part, they subsist an fish." "Who do the people blamo for their lnfortonate condition?" "The feeling against the Levee Kommission is the bitterest conceivu lie, and numerous suits have been be? gun for damages by the overflow. Vgaiust one of the commissioners done, twenty suits havu been insti? tuted. NothiDg will come of this, lowever. Nobody ever gets a judg? ment against a State official in Louisi? ana." "How do the people stand in respect 1 ;o the rule of the Federal Govern? ment?" "They all complain more of govern- : mental interference than of the devas? tation by the flood. There exists throughout the Strttc a sj's'eci of sa? traps. With oulj* one exception, which [ shall cite further along, there are no officials under tho General Govern? ment who were residents oi the Suits; prior to appoiutmeut." "What ts the effect of tho assistance whioh the Government is giviug upon j the oitizeus?'' "The citizens of the towns und vil? lages havu come to tho conclusion to aupport the Federal Government, if possible, us it is now assisting them. They are auxious to reciprocate, recent favors. AH are repudiatora, however. The negroes especially am in favor of the repudiation of all State debts. They have boeu taught that the pro? prietors will not be ublo to pay them, if they (the employers) are compelled to pay tue taxes. The negroes do not oare about any other kind of politics; they believu just that much, aud do not care to know more." "What do you regard as Gen. Graut'a policy regarding tho Louisiana peo? ple?" asked the Herald reprosentativo. "One of conciliation," replied Dr. Cottman. "The appoiutmeut of Bartho to a Collectorship has done muoh to create good feeling through? out the State towards the General Go verment. Burtbu was a Creole, very widely knowu aud a violent opponeut to Gen. Grant's system of carpet-bag? gers. He was the lirst aud only ap? pointment made of a citizen of the State. In tho overflowed districts of the State the feelings of tho people aro those of extremu gratitude for assist? ance." Oroakizino.?"Tho young men of the country ure all orgauizing, but no one knows for what purpose They all belong to a secret orgauizat.on. Some call themselves members o." a vigilance committee. Certain it is that they keep tho placr n?d time of their meetiuga strictly secret. This is an ominous movement and bodes no good for the politic! future of the South. There is ouo redeeming fea? ture, however. The solid mou are effecting an organization to restrain any intemperate action. The young men are nearly all out of employment, bo dull has business becomo. They attribute this state of things to the goneral ruin produced by oarpot bag rule. They are ready for any omor genoy. Tho present pall over busi? ness has not existed for more than six mouths, and yet their despair is driv? ing tho young men of the South to extrem.-?, which may end very disas? trously for reconstruction." The Impending Crisis.?"Where is this state of things to end?" "Thero is only one solution," re? plied Dr. Cottman. "There certainly will be a conflict of races soon, i think the crisis will occur about Sep? tember next. It is as sure to oome, in my opinion, as that tho sun will rise." "Dabk Night SetttjIHG ovbb Lo? isiana."?"This certainly looks rather dark for the State. Is there no way of avoiding this crisis?" asked the He? rald representative. "Not at this late day. The day for avoiding the awful calamities whioh are in store for the people of Louisi? ana is past. Nothing short of civil war, to whioh the late conflict in Ar? kansas will be a mere bagatelle, can ever wipe out the hatred of these long bitter years of misrule. It cannot be amioably settled, but will demand na? tional interference. As I said, the only element of salvation is found in the conservative organization of mer? chants and peaceable citizens now forming, backed by the whole power of the General Government. This can scarcely suffice, ho wever. Partv trou? bles might precipitate civil war to? morrow, and then even the most ami? cably disposed men would bo com? pelled to joiu issues with their neigh? bors for the common protection of their families and their property. Re? publicans, Demoorats?all would have to join in the revolt. It will bo a square out-and-out fight betweeu white and black. I think myeelf that if Gen, Grant is disposed to favor the conservative element and lend his in? fluence for the general pacification of the State trouble may be postponed for a time. It is imperative that he do something at once; for so sure as he permits the negro und the carpet? bag element to go together any longer tboy will both get cleaned out by a united force of all parties."

A Strike at Languey ?Yesterday morning, about one-third of the ope? ratives at Laoglcy Mills struck, and marched out of the factory into which they had gone as usual iu the moruiug. Tho strike was caused, we understand, by tho company's charging reut far the operatives' houses. The factories North und Rast, almost without ex? ception, recently reduced the wages of their employees. The Augusta, Gra? in tevillo aud Luugley factories, how? ever, concluded to pay their operatives the usual wages, and charge them rent for their houses. [A ugusta Chronicle and Sentinel. SCMNER ?The wines and liquors of the late Senator Sumuer were sold Thursday. There wcro about 425 bot- j ties, nud u variety of different wines. In exceptional cases only, they brought faucy prices. Seven bottles of old Romance Burgundy brought seven dollars u bottle. One bottle of Johanuesbergor Cabinet, from the cellars of Prince Metternich, 18G2, wus sold for twelve dollars. Tho auctiou* eer said ho learued oredibly it was Mr. Sumuer's special admiration. Joan op Abc.?Mgr. Dupnuloup, tho bishop of the dioccso wherein Joan of Arc, tho maid of Orleans, suffered death, bus brought tho mutter of her cuuouizatiou once again under the consideration of the sacred congrega? tion of rites. Tho Archbishop of Rouen has drawn up in unison with tho bishops of tho province, a solemn Aot asking tho Holy Father to raise the maid of Orleans to the diguity of a saint, and to introduce the cause of her canonization. Gen. Toombs prophesies that in three years, Georgia will bo in tho hands of tho negroos. The role of u prophet, it should be remembered, is au exceedingly difficult one, and re? quires more genius than that whioh enables a man to sto.al epigrammatic sentences from Tom Paine, Sheridar, Corrau, Fox and Burke.

John II. Ballon, a colored man, was admitted to the bar of tho Supremo Court of Rhode Island, on the 1th inst. This is the first colored lawyer in Rhode Island. A Q?ebb Proceeding.?The Union ville Times publishes the following statement of a new dodge practiced by tho County Treasurer of that County: "On Wednesday, just beforo dinner, Auditor Mobley brought to us a list of what he said the County Treasurer re? ported to him as delinqueut tax-pay? ers, with the request thut the Auditor affix his signature to it as oorreot. Tho list occupied ten pages of letter paper, and, upon a rough estimute we made at the time, eontniued about 200 per? sons in this County who had not paid their taxes. The aggregate amount, we think, was over $11,01)0. It might have been mure. Tho Auditor told us there were names on that list who had always paid their debts, and he be? lieved they had paid their tuxes, aud before tie would eigu it he would pub? lish the list end request those who bold receipts against it to present them to him, in order that the errors, if any, muy bo corrected. Wo luid the list upou our table aud wont to dinner. During our ubseuce, J. W. Yius-uu cauin into the office und tmt down at the table to write an advertisement for the County Commissioners. Soon after ho left, George E. Tuxberry, tho clerk or assistant of tho County Trea? surer, came iuto tho office, aud, after asking for us, stole the list from our table, and the next morning, Mobley, tho Auditor, Byron, the County Trea? surer, aud Tuxberry, his clerk, started Ifor Columbiu."

Among the appointments this year were four youths of African descent; one from Massachusetts, being nearly white, another from South Carolina, being conspicuously black, and the other two being of intermediate color. The hope presented to the two, al? ready acclimated, of an exteusiou of the colored social circle, has been dis? appointed by the rejection of nil four of the recent appointments. From all appearances mixed schools do not flourish even under national auspices. Cannot a man edit u Radical paper in tho South and bo honest?

The Columbia Library Association will meet this evening, for important busi? ness. It is composed of sixty or seventy members, and has a library of 1,000 volumes, of a general and mis? cellaneous character, many of them select and valuable. It is desirable, of course, thut the membership shonld be iucreased, and that the present nucleus of book* should grow into a large, popular and commanding insti? tution. Instead of Bixty, we shonld have several hundred subscribers. This would give ample means for in? crease of books by purchase, and for all those arrangements whioh would make tho rooms a pleasing and an in? structive resort. We trust that a large accession to the numbers of tbe asso? ciation will be made this evening. The annual admission fee fixed upon is quite moderate, the situation and rooms of the library very eligible, and besides books, there are to be found on tho tables a good selection of cur? rent periodical literature, including Blackwood, the Saturday Review, the London Graphic, the Nation, Atlantic Monthly, Appleton's Journal, the Ga? laxy, the Eclectic, Frank Leslie and New York Herald.

Newspaper Advertibiro.?News? paper advertising is now recognized by business men having faith in their own wares, as the moat effective means for securing for their goods a wide re? cognition of their merits. Newspaper advertising impels in? quiry, and when the article offered is of good quality and at a fair price tbe natural result is increased sales. Newspaper advertising is a perma? nent addition to the reputation of the goods advertised, because it is a per? manent ijfluence at work in their in? terest. Newspaper advertising is the moFt energetic aud vigilant of salesmen; ad? dressing thousands each day, always in the advertiser's interest, and ceas lessly at work seeking customers from all classes. Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for even iu the dullest times ad? vertisers secure the largest share of what is being done. Dp.. Scbenck's Pulmonic Sybup. Sn.v Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cureo of consumption than any other remedy known to the Americau public. They are com pouuded of vegetable ingrediewts, and contain nothiug which can bo injuri? ous to the human constitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for con? sumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat daugerous drug iu all cases, and if taken freely by con? sumptive patients, it must do great in? jury; for its tendenoy is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which, of course, must muke a cure impossi? ble. Scuenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium. It is composed of powerful bub harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions and expel all the diseased matter from the body. These are tho only means by which consumption can be cured, and as Scheuck's Pulmouio Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines whioh operate in this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine care for pultuonu-v con? sumption. Each bottle of this invalu? able medicine is accompanied by full directions.
