COLUMBIA Tuesday Morning. October 2, 1877. The Preeldent'sToor. The press and the people of both sections seem to be altogether satis* fied with the sayings aod doings of the President on his Southern tour. Even those States that gave the largest majority for Tilden, seem to be most delighted with Qayos. His Southern policy, we suppose, is one of the secrets of his warm reception and the general endorsement of his principles. In other words, as long as be tracks the line of his present policy, the solid men of both par? ties iutend to sustain his administra? tion. The Springfield Republican thinks the President's trip "really culminated at Atlanta, when tho capital ol' the State that gave Tilden his greatest majority, turned out to do him honor," and that "nothing oould probably be better than Gov. Colqaitt's welcome to Hayes as the great pacificator, the peace-maker-bc tween brethren estranged, aud the President's reply was the best speech of the whole trip." The New York Herald is equally satisfied, and even jubilant. It says: "Nothing could be better of its kind than Jiis fthe President's) speech at A^jjntaT* which we printed yesterday.TT .was pitched in the same key as all his New England speeches, and, in fact, all his other Southern speeches, but it was not marred by any ex? pressions inconsistent with the dignity of his great office. Besides the lesser merits of perfect good taste and exquisite tact, it was mark? ed throughout by a justness and gen? erosity of sentiment which not only captivated his immediate hearers, but will command the general ap? proval of the so.id, sober-thinking men of both parties. The excellence of this speech may, in part, be due to the admirable temper and tono of Gov. Golquitt's address of welcome. No speaker ever hit the mark more exactly in tho middle than the De? mocratic Governor of Georgia did, when he said to the President: 'The great moving cause of these hearty demonstrations which have greeted you since you reached Southern soil, as to be found in the generous conti deuce with which you believe what trdsuT, which will not exact cringing and servile guarantees.''" The Au? gusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist says: '-'If anybody at the North is displeased with tho Southern tour, it is mainly the 'stalwart Republi? can/ who fattens^ on the spoils of war, aud has nothing to hope from peace. It may be (hat the machine? ry which led to the inauguration of Mr. Hayes was false in fact, in law, and in everything else, but there can be no question that it accomplished one tremendous result, the unmask? ing ol the Radical Republican idea and party, which were incarnated in President Grant." The Missouri Republican well describes tho condi? tion of that faction: "From that day to this the Republican party has been like a man awaking from a drunken stupor. It does not recog? nize itself; it cannot ascertain its bearings. Its old laud-marks are gone, and it seems to be in a new world. When it looks and lis'ens, it sees strange sights and hears strange sounds; the country at peace; the personal retinue of Grant ism scattered to the winds; carpet bagism wrecked aud dishonored; Wade Hampton escorting a Repub? lican Executive and Cabinet throngh the South; a million of the citizens of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Ca? rolina and Virginia, shouting to Mr. Hayes the heartiest welcome ever given to an American President; the atrife between whites and blacks end? ed, and the colored people in many Southern States contentedly voting the Democratic ticket. The Repub? lican leaders realize this transforma? tion slowly and faithfully, and not the least of their surprise is at find? ing that the shock which shatters their delusion comes from one whom they perverted law and facts to make President," Ex-Senator Thur mau, in a public address on tho Ohio stamp, the other day, while con? demning the Electoral Commission, admitted that'the President was con? stitutionally chosen; that bis title was without flaw,, and that inso? much ae he had carried out politic? ally the prime doctrines and poli? cies of the Democracy, iu hia treat? ment of the South, he was deserving of. and would receive the everlast? ing gratitude of mankind. The Southern people will support the President so long as be keeps on his present line. Gov. Colquitt and Gov. Brown spoke the voice of Geor gia, and the President, doubtless, un? derstood and appreciated language which had uu uncurtain sound.

His wine and water trick is a mystery. To-night, lie will peiform sdditinnnl wonders?among others, allowing any number of persons in the audience to write questions, and retain the slips in their possession, and they will be correctly answered?and then exposing the whole thing, so that every apparent delusion will be under? stood. An extraordiuary entertainment may be expected. Pikr.?The dwelling of Mr. P. Spclhnan, on 8 uinter street near Sens to. was destroyed by Are, yesterday morn Ing, about 2 o'clock. The unseasousbl - hour was unfavorable to spread? ing the ulaim, and ?oiue delay occurred before the firemen reached the spot. The flames were confined to the building in which they originated. Hut a win a II portion of the furniture was saved. There is hardly a doubt but that it was the work of an incendiary. Only u abort time ago, Mr. Spellmnii's bellows was ruined, and other dirty work done about his shop, and It looks as if the fiend was still unsatisfied. If thegnilty party could be detected, his punishment would he severe The property was partially insured. New Publication*.?We h?ve received from the publishers, Messrs. Dick Ac FH/ger?ld, a neatly-printed volume, entitled --Dick's Recita? tions and Headings," which isnow being issued in numbers, each containing about 180 pages of entertaining matter, in prose and poetry. The price is thirty cents in paper, or fifty cents in cloth. Address the publishers in New York. "Out of tbe Depths, the story of a Woman's Life." has just been issued from the press of the Petersons, Philadelphia, as the ninth volume of I their It series of good novels. This book ia hardly up to its predecessors in point of interest, though it is written in a clear, forcible style. It is well worth reading, however, and we recom? mend It to our readers. Sunday in Columbia.?Most of our churches were unusually well attended, lost Snnday. The venerable and eloquent Dr. Plumcr occupied tbe pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church in the morning, and preached one of the most pow? erful sermons that baa been heard in Columbia for many months. He selected us his theme the Fourth Commandment, and handled his inter? esting subject in a masterly style, conclusively proving by the cogency of his reasoning that this important Commandment Is as binding and obligatory on us to-day as it was when thun? dered fotth from Mount Sinai. He clearly dis? sipated tbe erroneous opinion held by many, that tho Sabbath should be kept only as a day of | pleasure snd recrestion. Such a forcible dis? course as this will surely be productive of much ?;ood in the community. In the afterooon, the liners! of little Cora Love took place at the Presbyterian Church. Tho solemn services were conducted by the Rovs. Dra. Howe and Plumer, and were peculiarly impressive. Six Sunday school children acted as pull-bearers, and several affecting Sabbath school odes were sung, which were rendered donbly touching by tbe fact that little Cora, before she died, re? quested thst those favorite hymns of hers should be sung at her funeral. The night services at the twu Methodist Churches were well attend? ed and were very interesting. PlICKNlXIANA. ? Cool. September went ont pleasantly. Dress trains grow longer and longer. Oysters, this day, at McGuinnis' restaurant. A cooking prise is to be contended for at the Stats Fair. Joe Ai rants departed for Brooklyn, last night, to see Beecher. Hol. D. Epstin, Esq., bas deported for New Turk, to practice bis profession. Certain parties are beginning to make a fnas over horse racing at the State Fair. Barbecues and base balls will hang np awhile and linen dusters be swathed in cstnphor. Hall and Felker, the counterfeiters, go before Judge Bryan, this morning, in Charleston. The last of the garrison has departed from Greenville. The Columbia detail follows soon. The crack military company of Savannah has promised to be present at our fair and compete for the prize. Some men spend more money in vetting their wives than they do in taking care uf them wlfeu once In actual possession. The novel perpetual motion machine invented by an ingenious mechanic of this city, will be exhibited at the fair, next month. Mr. Conway requests us to say that he was not intoxicated when arrested, the other duy. lie had. doubtless, seen 1'rof. Cooke, and was spirit? ualized. "Gracious me!" exclaimed an old lady on the witness-stand in one of our courts, yesterday. -Siow should I know anything about anything I don't know anything about?" The merchant-orator, C. F Javksoh, returned home, yesterday, from his Northern trip, lit says business is very brisk in New Yorl that there are many Southern purchasers. Bald-headed men. who have heard that kero- I sene was a good remedy, are advised by cotupe tent authority to let it severely alone. I.ct them 1 charm with their intellect and morality instead of their head-gear. Deputy United States Marshal Grant has car? ried to Chat lestoi? lur trial.

A (in Ah k a ii Fi km.?Our young friends, Cathcart & llagood, are creating a sensation | iu the cotton market. They arc located on , I' Ma>n street, between the stores of McmMs. Swat- i field mid K. I.. Bryan, Ksqns., and in addition |*to their extensive insurance and commission i business, are selling all kinds ol merchandise and grain; taking prders lor the same, und send- ? ing from first hands at the very lowest market j prices. They have mldcd to tbefr growing busi? ness, the purchase of cotton, and arc prepared to : Igive^ilMf highest pri-es in cash, for the staple. ?wInch clothes the world. Our old cilir.e.is recol- l lect when, the streets ol tins city weie covered | with wagons, and upward* of l?lMHMi hales of cotton were sold in our market niiiiuntly. Iu these latter days the business of our city has re? trograded, aim the sale of the staple has untie i down to a low point. The conscqu-'iico has ! naturally led to a coi responding ieduction of I busiuess iu all btuiichcs .i- well us in cotton. We are of those who believe that the diminished business of our city has been caused, to a great extent, by the want ol live men in the cotton business. Messrs Cathcart <& Ilugood, at this juncture, (ill a void which was injuring our city much; and with their energy and backet] up, as wc learn, with ample cupital. we are assured that they will not only meet ?ith success them- j selves, nut help to restore business to our city ' Planters and liirruert* may tie assured that they , will pay such prices for cotton, as h i,l make it ; their interest l.i send their cotton to Coluinbiu; and also it will be to their interest to sell in Co? lumbia, in preference to consigning to Charles* ton or a Noi them market. It was a sight gooU for sore eyes, on Saturday, to see the cotton hales standing on end iu front of Cathcart & llagood's office. It looks like old times, looks like business and means business. We ask our friends to cull on these gentlemen when they come to this city, as we arc assured they will Hndtun acquaintance mutually prolltable, as well as agreeable. Puns. Mit. PnoCMIX. The reader will be interested in knowing the occasion which called forth the following brillinut verses, anil the mode of their composition. A party of' low country" people, of both-exes and of various ages, sifter ; NOiy wjUriJH WTtB a poetic III pi- \ ration. Tbcy^Aseftie "divine affl aus" surging j In upon their souls.

Forming a magic circle in the shadow of a ve? nerable nak. each? adds a line alternately, until the pastoral poem is completed. This metrical product of many trains now presents its claim to a plaea umu?g the -'Curiosities of Litera? ture:" "The Pilgrimage aiulllomil ira* Dum?.'" The sun's hot beams were pour/ng down, As thro' a charming mountain town, A jolly crowd, oil pleusUfC hellt. In u jolting, syrinfMaa wagon went* To do i? Hock. . The Itock wns Dunn, And it wns fun, To hear each pun-. Made by the gtfMoiil IMafrtson. The punster II r?> essayed to climb. To view the prospect so sublime When half way up, ho chanced to Und, His MenielmA bceu left behind. With bounding step and anxious eye. He. on a stump, did her espy, Heaving ti deep and anxious sigh, Aud having a little private cry. "Oh. Georgie, dear!" I began to fear, That yon would never more appear. To comfort youH|fflicted dear. And here she dropped a silent tear. Next came Frank, of heavy wei.ijnt; Who reached tho top, but rather late, Because of his haggard, weary mate, A sight to be seett, but not relate. Aunt Annie stepped with nwukwnrd slide Adowu the rugged mountain aide, 'Twus "giving a Tiger," made her slip, And clumsily dance tho "Boston Dip. She r.gained her feet and joined the laugh, And, gatherlug'up her mountain staff, Onward and upward she took her way, A noble teacher of bravery. A nd next in order came Miss Mag, Who never thro' the day did flog. But bounded on o'er hill and crag, Gathering her trophies in a bag. Then came Mary, always quiet, But joined* that day in the general riot; Skipping and kfteplng. full of glee. In this sweet JumCof liberty. Graceful and airy was her Sight, Along the steep and rocky height; But as the sunny day crew hotter. She moped and sighed for the absent Trotter. There folio wed.jiext Miss Linie M., Who moulded of puns the brightest gem; The prize, n molon. which she won, Vanished ere her ascent begun. The oein of climbers scaled the Rock, But fell and gave her kin a shock. The secret was, she lacked one more. To make her tvCO shoes doubly euro (nhoer.) Then last of all came Julian (/., As nice a boy as be could be; He rode behind upon a steed. Which, since morning, had no feed. But aided by the four-fold hoof, The muleteer sealed the Rocky Roof; What hanpenened there 'twixt vale and sky, Was hidden from tbo Muse's eye. The shadows long and darkly lay Across our path, and the mules aid bray, Showing our f*rtj came that way. Thus ended our eventful day. FIINEBAL INVITATION. The friends and acquaintances of Mr. R. W. Johnson and finally and of the late John A. J. Derrick and family, are respectfully invited to attend the funeral of WILLIE C. DERRICK, at the residence of the former, THIS AVTER NOON, at hahtpast S o'clock. TELEGRAMS TO DAILY PHCEIN1X. European Intelligence. Athens, September 80.?Greece haa sent a fresh despatch to her representatives at London, relative to her attitude. The Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs points ont that neither intimi? dation nor a coup de main against Ureece can suppress Hellenism. An unjust attack against Ureece by the Porte would infallibly csuso an insurrection of the entire Hellenist people. Viknka.

A telegram from Scnijnvo, the capital of the Province of Bosnia, says a portion of the Turk? ish troops in Bosnia have been ordered to pro ! ceoil in the diicction of Mostnr, the capital of ! Ilcrzegovinia, and the remainder to the Servian frontier. London, September 80.?A despatch'from Pesth, referring to the seizure of breech-loaders and cartridges in Trausylvauia, says: It is said the design of the Turkish sympathisers iu Tran ! sylv in iu was the formutiou of the Hungarian I legion, unmbcring 50,000 men, who, acting in I conjunction with a Turkish corps, were to de I stroy the Hotimanian Railroad. It is rumored | that the Hungarian General Klapka was one I of the leaders. The whole affair has, however, been nipped iu the bud. A letter from St. i Petersburg states that Verestchagin, the well known Russian, who was severely wounded in a monitor light ou the Danube, recovered and joined tin- army before Plevna, and was there killed. This is probably a mistake, for Vercst chugin's brother, who was killed at Plevna. A Constantinople despatch says the Turkish newspapers publish a report that Osraan Pasha defeated the Russia us before Plevna. The Porte refused to pei nut the transit of timber across the Danube for housing the Russian wounded. Snow has ceased falling in the Balkans, but heavy rains have flooded the plains of Sofia and Ork ni?i. Thomas Scrambler Owden, Alderman for the ward of Bishopsgate, was elected Lord .Mayor of London.

There are now (September _:() only 1,900 wounded at Plevna. A Bucharest special says Gen. Todlc hcu's opinion of the situation at 1'lcvnu has been laid before the Grand Duke Nicholas. It is understood he.declares that siege operations on a most extensive scale are requisite for the capture of of the place. The Cz.irowitch visited Hmny Studen, on Saturday, to relinquish the command of the lelt flunk und resume com the Ron Iii inlaa cavalry having captured eight wagon* of grain. The Hrnnd Duke Nicholas has liver complaint. 1 be first Turkish convoy which entered Plev? na consisted of 2,000 wagons: number of wag? ons in i lie second convoy not reported. A cor? respondent says of the Russians before Plevna: ?They seem completely at sea; they have no plan, no idea, no head: they are waiting for re? inforcements, which arrive glow ly and which, when ull hero, will hardly more than cover their losses by buttle and sickness during the last two months. History offers no suoh example of a splendid army ill such an utterly helpless condi? tion. Suleiman Pasha is fortifying at Sbipka Puss, apparently with the intention of winteriug there." A Madras correspondent, reviewing the actual clfects in that Presidency of the famine and discuses consequent on the famine, says the registered deaths of the present year up to the end of June, were 870,000 above the avemge. This, according to the opinion of the district officers, does not represent more than two thirds of the actual mortality, and we have I in t her to add the deaths which buve occurred sjnee, and have not yet been officially reported. The correspondent's conclusion is that not less than 700,000 |ieruoilS have ?lallen victims, and even these figures will probably be largely iu civu.-ed before the famine and its after-wave of suffering bus finally passed away. ^ American Intelligence. ?Jacksonville September 80.?Two deaths at Fcruandine, to-day.
