COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning. July 7,1874. Iterelatlom. Judge Maokey has just returned from Washington. We learn from the WiooBboro News thai he repre ?ents President Grant as utterly dis <gusted with Booth Carolina affairs. Ha spoke his* m I rid"pretty freely aborit Moses, and thft Molge Who didn't try., faitrs. j He held every Hepublioau re? sponsible lor too villainy existing here.' Amongst other thirjgs wbioh he said to * Judgo Maokey and Senator Robertson was this; ? "That the Federal troops in Sonth Carolina were not here to enforce the ^collection of exorbitant taxes, and that 9m wished this to be understood. They were stationed here for national purposes, saoh as arresting illicit dis? tillers and the like." This is very good, but rather late smd unexpected iu President Grant It indicates that he is making some progress, though it may be slowly. A short while ago, he ombraoed Whitte more and L. Oasa Carpenter, showing a decided preference lor the objects of their mission, which were simply in? famous, over those. of the gentlemen -who were sent on with representations of. our condition by the Tax-Payers' Convention. When the Whittemore delegation stated that the evils whioh -wwere alleged to exist in South Carolina ?wore .mostly imaginary, and that the taxes were really moderate, General -Grant expressed himself as well pleased. - He thought the answer to the tax-payers ceaolasive. Bat he be Sins now to tee "another sight." It fcnaybe, and we.hope it is, true that the reiterated publication of the facts concerning .this State, and the wide ?u? enlightened discussion whioh oar ?affairs have received, have at last made -an impression upon his reluctant and "xmwilling mind. The power of troth .oan accomplish wonders, and almost ?work miraoles. We need not inquire whether it is this power, or the way tho elections have gone and the ga rthering array and force of the public -.sentiment of the whole ooantry iu dis? approval and denunciation of the hideous polioy of the Government to? wards the negro-ridden States of the South, whioh have produced their -effect upon the Presidential mind. It ?s gratifying at last, whatever they are duo to, to perceive iu him something -like a glimmer of appreciation of the issues whioh demand a solution and something like a just oonoeptiou of the evils which require correction. The language attributed to the Pre? sident is significant and suggestive. It deserves to be weighed by oar tax paying citizens. They do not pay the "exorbitant taxes" whioh are now col? lected from them from ohoioe. They .cannot believe that they are support? ing, by their heavy tax contributions, ?a reputable and decent government* ?whose wisdom, polioy and justice se? cure the harmony and happiness of the people. They know themselves to -be fleeced and imposed upon in the -amount of taxes paid, and more espe? cially in the vile uses to whioh they axe applied. Why, then, do they pay them? For no other reason under Heavan than that they Boppose they cannot help themselve, and that, if they refuse, the State Government will call upon the National Administration, to assist it in the oolleotion. Time was when they might have done this; but if what the President says is to be taken as a criterion, that time has gone forever. We have oar little story to tell about the President, too. We dedicate it to contemplation of the Radical hordes. The President says that ho is sorry, bat he cannot, personally or officially, do anything direotly for the honest people of Sonth Carolina. Ho does not, however, see why they do not take better care of themselves. He is, in fact, surprieed that they do not. He cannot say exactly when he will order the troops away, bat he is free to declare that, whiie they aro on duty here, they have a ohalk line to walk. They ore expected to conduct them? selves in an eminently peaceful and quiet manner, and upon no pretext or provocation to interfere between citi? zens. They are not kept in this State in order to overawe decent people. They are kept here, first, as a matter of convenience and economy, having barracks, quarters, buildings. &o.; and secondly, because thoy aro serviceable ia assisting the collection of internal revenue. We have asked ourselves what these observations of the President mean. Perhaps we are bound to put some interpretation upon them. So far as we know, the troops have conducted themselves with proper discretion and .moderation. The officers and men all have a jolly good time and show no disposition to trench upon the rights or 'ftefiJBgs 0ff?6ny"fpe^|on Tor olas?. Their ttffty herfja ??j exaotly pleasant, bnt th$5r avoid, oa far aa possible, anjjji tbtagj$tb\ make it unpleasant to the people. -These fretrn opinions' end suggestions of the President must, therefore, be meant to fit an antici? pated case, when the people will ques? tion the right of those in office to Imp'oso enormous taxes and fraudu? lently appropriate them to private use, and Vhon they Bhall challenge the divino tight of thieves and plunderers to snle'a^d'd tyrannize over honest men. This time is approaohiug, and the United States soldiers are given to nnderstrnd that their business in aoy auoh emergency is severely to lc, every? body alone. Tbey can, in buo'j a caBe, act only upon specific orders to inter? fere, and these they will not get. Tbese views will not be palatable to the Radical mind. What tbey will do -about it can only be surmised, but tbe best political actuaries have figured it out and concluded that, when, unsup? ported artificially, they will sink to their level, and go where tbey belong, a sad and sorry set, wiser but not bet? ter meo. Tax Unions. A meeting of tbe citizens of Rich land Oounty will be held in tbe Court House, at Columbia, on Monday, tbe 13th instant, at 11 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of organizing Tax-UniooB. All are requested to attend who favor the protection of property, the ad? ministration of justice, the cause of morality, and who havo tbe manliness and virtue to mako still another effort to rescue the State from those influ? ences which have made its Government a mockery and a crime, and which, if unchecked, must inevitably reduce it to a condition of barbarism. wm.

Hi?u-handed Outrage.?We have been informed that u fow days ago, u new bout belonging to Mr. Noah Huff? man, was stolen by some of tho peni? tentiary convicts, who swam the river, and carried it down the CAual in tow of another and larger boat. Tho convicts were iu charge of two of the guards. Mr. Huffmau is justly indignant at this outrage, as bis property has not only beon stolen, but be has thereby been deprived of fishing his traps and beau submitted to other incoveuienc ?. "Who shall guard the guards?" is a very apt question in this instance. Geu. DeuuisB should look into the matter and havo the parties severely punished. There are colored as well as white witnesses who can testify to the robbery uud to the fact of the boat being towed dowu towards the peni? tentiary. TeriiIDLE Hail Storm.?A gentle? man from Lexington Fork gives us some particulars of u terrible hail? storm whici occurred iu that section ou Sunday afternoon. It was first seen iu the neighborhood of Spring Hill, uud its devastation wus continued along High Hill Creek to the Suludo. Tho storm averaged about two miles iu width. Coru uud cotton was com? pletely riddled aud beat to the ground; somo of the curs of coru were knocked from tho stalks by tho hail-stoncs? some of which were us largo us a goose egg, and hud rough points or projec? tions. Our informant says that iu some places, where tho hail drifted, his mule Uouudered considerably, the icy lamps reaching almost to bis sto? mach. Thousands of dollars will not I cover the loss iu tho immediate neigh? borhood. Iu Columbia and vicinity, there was considerable of u storm, with a little hail.

Celediiation of tue Fourth in Columoia?Military Display?Pic? nics, Bardecues, etc.?At day-break on the 4th, tho now boll in tho towor of tbo City Hall (that is to bo) made known to all Columbia the birth of the anniversary of Independence Day. YcTung nud old Colombia was soon astir, (by-thu-way, some of the fatter, from the uppearance of their eyes, must have been np all night.) The oolored people from the adjwent plan? tations bud flocked into town during the day and night previous?some of i them walking eighteen miles?attract? ed by the pio-nic, barbecue or dinner furnished by Colonel-Representative woold-bu-Senator Minort. About half past 6, the military began to assemble ?Col. Simons'2d Regiment on Assem? bly, between Lady and Gervais streets, and Col. Minort's lGth in front of the State Capitol. The Post Band furnish? ed the tnusio for both regimuuts?the brass band for the 2d, aud the drum corps for the lGth. After parad? ing through the priucipul streets, the 2d Regiment proceeded to the heights of Lexiugton, wbero a bountiful sup? ply of provisions was disposed of, ufter speeches by Judge Wright, Colo? nel Minort and others. A platform h?d been erected, aud dancing was kept up uutil late in the day. The lGth Regiment had a frolic, with speeches, iu the Luuatio Asylum grounds. The day was very generally kept, a majority of the stores being closed during the entire day and all workmeu huviug a full holiday. The omuers uf the garrison, with a number of frieuds, barbecued on the grounds of the Columbia Water Power Com? pany, ou the river bank; while another barbecue purty frolicked near Geiger's Mill, u short dlstauoH above. there were a number oi private pic-nics in addition. The Grangers, with their wives aud sisters, spent the day very pleasantly at the Pair Grounds. A magnificent barbecue was served up, together with la Diimtier of delicacies. Mr. Noah lluffmau, of Lexington, contributed a quantity of very tine apples, the growth of his farm, whioh be has named the "Huffman." He ha about 1,()(J0 trees of this variety on his place. After diuaer, Terpsichore ruled the hour. The Declaration of Independence was read to uu assemblage in Sidney Park, by Johu McCord, and and ora tious by Prof. Grceuer, Judgu Wright aud others. In the afternoon, there was an at? tempt at u fantastic display, but it could not be regarded a success; the small boys enjoyed it, however. Tho usual number of accidents occurred during the day from lire-arms, but none of them, fortunately, serious. The Caledonian Club spent the day at Seegera." brewery. We uppuud au account of the proceedings, furnished by ono of the members: The annual athletic sports were cele? brated on the Fourth of July, with unusual success. The day was exceed? ingly fine. The fume of former con? tests brought several athletic cham? pions from Charleston to measure their powers with the Caledonians of Co? lumbia, but the different style of put? ting the atone and throwing the ham? mer was somewhat against them, although they deserve great praise for their abilities. It will be seen from the prize list that Mr. Archibald Stewart was the champion of the day, carrying off many of the first honors. This year, the yonng citizens of Co? lumbia contented the several games most vigorously, and won many of the prizes; in tho short and long races they distunced nil comers. The pre? sence of a number of ladies udded much to tho pleasure of the day's pro? ceedings. A largo marquee was erect? ed, under the superintendence of Mr. John Howie; the completeness of his arrangements could not have been surpassed. Refreshments of nil kinds was served iu abundance all day by a staff of stewards to those weariug the budgo and thistle. Ry 10 A. M., tho star-spangled banner was flung to the breeze, aud tho sound of tho bag pipes denoted the time hud arrived to com? mence tho games. Mr. George llntcheon, piper to tho Caledonian Club, discoursed excellent music from early morn till dewy eve. Tho game commeuced with a Highland Reel, when all the Scotchmen entered into it with all their heart, and tripped the light fantastic toe iu splendid order. The dancing of tho Messrs. Grant was specially admired. The judges for tho contests wcro Messrs. Huttou, Roy und A. Oliver, whose decisions gave general satisfaction.

Scott, is too well koown to require comment. Tbe com? mittee tender their sincere thanks to Mr. Anderson, Charlotte Depot; aiso, Messrs. MoKeuzie, Symmers, Seegers and Mclntosh, for favors received. By G P. M., the proceedings were brought to a close. Everything passed off merrily. In the evening, the members of the club entertained tbeir Charleston friend i in the Caledonian Hull?Presi? dent Hall in the chair. Tbe evening was spent with rapturous harmony. Soog and sentiment prevailed. The chairman, in proposing tbe toast of the evening?"Success to our Charles? ton friends"?said he regretted that tbey were not more successful at the athletic contests during the day, but was satisfied now, for they bad re? trieved tbeir laurels in the evening. Their ndmirable speeches and match? less songs had far eclipsed us all in Columbia. The toast was drauk with "a' the honors three." Mr. Mclntosh eloquently replied. During the evening, Mr. Laveok sang several songs, calling forth rapturouB encores After singing Auld Lang Syne, theoompany separated about 11. Tbe Charleston members carry along with them the best wishes of all the brother Soots in Columbia, and they tr'.ai the day is not far distant when they will have the pleasure of meeting them in Charleston, when a return contest will take place.

The Disease op Civilization.?Dr. Warren, author of the "Household Physician," tells ns that dyspepsia is a disease of civilization?that savages know nothing of it. We do not believe the latter statement. Savages some? times gorgo themselves until tbey con scarcely move; and as tbey ure hu? man beings, and not anacondas, they must necessarily suffer the pangs of indigestion. Undoubtedly, however, in consequence of their luxurious habits, the civilized and enlightened portion of mankind are most subject j to dyspepsia. This being tho case, I what are the oivilized and enlightened I dyspeptics going to do about it? What a iarge proportion of them are doing about it now is simply this: They are taking Hostet ter's Stomaoh Bitters as a remedy, with unvarying and complete success. From all parts of the United States, from all the Spanish republics, from tho West Indies, from various parts of Europe and from the anti? podes, Australasia, evidences of iie un? rivalled properties as a specific for casual and chronio indigestion is con? tinually being rccoivod. Tho result is, that the consumption of the great lonio and alterative is rapidly increas? ing throughout the oivilized world. Tbe nations, near and remote, as well as our own peoplo, havo discovered that as a preventive and remedy for diseases of tbe digestive organs, end all ailments of tbolivor, bowels, nerves and general system, whioh are gene? rated or aggravated by imperfect di? gestion, it has no equal either among officinal or proprietary medicines.
