S. r. . t< Cuba and St. K DomlugO. tl The war fever is abating. The ? government cannot respond to the 11 excitement of the people, being ap- ^ parently convinced that there is no 5 grounds for a demand for the rendi- v tion ol the Virginius, she bearing 0 about the same relation to Spain and j *J her rebels as the Alabama did to us. 0 In regard to the executions we will . probably be forced to accept the same 1 satisfaction as may be demanded by 0 . Great Britain. Meantime the desire r for the acousition of Cuba has been 1 reawakened all over the country and ' the preparations fora war now being c made will not be lost, as congiees will 1 not again allow our navy and forts to relapse into their former condition of delapidation. * Now is the time for Grant to revive j" his St. D 'mingo proprsition. If we j had been in possession of that island the Spaniards would have bten far more cautious about insulting us. No part of Grant's administration " has so commended itself to us as the | effort to obtain a foothold on the West ) Indies. It could have been done peace- : fully and cheaply by his scheme, and j, many of the same people who opposed ( it are now clamoring for an expensive , war to obtain Cuba. We hope the , St. Domingo treaty will be revived j and ratified during the coming session. The Chicago Road?Charleston and Savunnah. ! Both these cities hltvo suddenly waked up to the fact that a railroad is in Amtemplation from Chicago to the South Atlantic. Neither of them had ' a delegate in the convention held in ? Chicago last month, but their editors ruiid theDroceedinss?without publish- ! ing them, however. Since then a convention was held at Warm Springs, N. C.. in favor of a road from Lake Erie to the South At- | lantic, the proceedings of which we gave two weeks ago. In neither of these conventions were ( Charleston and Savannah alluded to as , ports on the South Atlantic worthy of j a moment's consideration as the termi- ( nus of a railroad whose purpose was to j bring the products of the Great West . ' to the sea for shipment to foreign coun- ( tries. , Not a man in either convention thought of any other port than ours. y Our neighboring cities would furnish , to such a road valuable customers, , they were connections to be made as j of course, just as it would be well to ( interest Columbia in the road, and seek ( Augusta as a good distributing point, j Hut Cbaileston and Savannah were no j more considered as ports than were ? Columbia or Augusta. < When the time to subscribe for stock t in the Chicago road conies we have no j doubt but that Charleston will be . urged to give a helping baud. So will ; ; Savannah. We hope they will do so; ( they ought to do so, for although uei- 1 ther of tbem have the harbor for which ^ the west is seeking, yet they cannot \ fail to he bent fitted by the connection. , But just as sure as the Chicago road t is built it will cotue through Babun \ Gap to Audersou, tlieuce Augusta and t Port Royal. j The Body Politic. In the present condition of state affairs it is aptly illustrate! that ua little know- j ledge is a dangerous tiling." The child t when it has commenced t? walk, often j. overestimates its strength, by which fie- | queut falls are sttstaiifd, sometimes resuiting in permanent deformity. Xot t entirely inapplicable are the writings of j] the editor of 1742, concerning the mi.? c takes and corruptions of that day, to the ^ present tiuie. It can he as tru y said ? now, as then, that the body politic agrees jin most instances with the natural body, t and that when is L- out of order almost every uuto believer Uiinselt to he a physician. A carol id observation of the actions of many of our legislators, and j? tliose who are, ami would be styled leadets confirm this position, especially since the web uf fiuanrial troubles has com- (] inciiced to draw them inta the vortex of U1 ruin. With a limited experience; the c, leadings of many dishonest men who to j, gratify their personal ends would sink e. every patriotic feeling; with but little authority amongst their neighbors and j,[ constituents a ad no in influence abroad, (j o.r.1 H...,i,.f if nr,.,; ilnotnrs r?f ( oustitn Ot'li WIICU????VM , , tional law, arc mangling the id ready ; s( quiverin.tr corpse of state, with inexperi- i s, enccd scalpels.

Ii is admitted L.t by a republican people that is our duty j " to contr bu:e, each one. as inmh as lie j c 11 to remedy evil, and to bring order w out ofchaos; but what iqr-ittivc or sat-| to is miction is there in freighting a ship 1 bt with valuable store-, to ? her run upon ,'u the shoals by either inexperienced, head- ^ stronir or mutinous pilots. Let the leg- yj Llaturc purify itself; get rid of those tb 5 rses, irresoluteiless, dissensions^ ava- ] ft and prejudice, which are the friends anarchy, aod the enemies of every reiblican principle. This doue and we ay hope for better results for ?? set The State Fair, tei We hope we have seen the last of such ?pi itherings and recommend the passage wl * the bill repealing the charter under uu hich they have been organized. The th< st specimen was a disgrace to the state, fai ivo hundred dollars spent in the ordi- dii ary markets would have bought as fine ur display of the produots of the earth, re he patch work quilts, pin cushions, th tuiplurs, etc., must be the proper- ch ; of the managers?their wonders have th one duty doubtless since "before de nt rar." We admit its usefulnesses an ad- D ertising medium for the Columbia store tn eepers, but imagine that they had bet- be jr patronize the newspapers. The cat- ol e, hoes, sheep, etc., are too insignifi- co ant to uotice. Of the thousands visit- he ig the grounds n<?t fifty knew where to or nd the live stock. We do not believe ?e hat there were fifty farmers at the fair at rho were there from any interest in their ui ecupation. They know that it is a hum- fit mg. and neither scud their products or ouio themselves. The fiict is that a large ground is kept P< n which to collect every year a crowd h< at of which gamblers, showmen, cheats, P' oughs. swindlers, and prostitutes may unke a prey. The racing is almost the c' inly attraction, and the sooner the whole tl :om*rn is abolished the better for the ai uorals and" best interests of the state. sl m p Southing Needed. n The United States government owns sites on Port Royal harbor for light* T louses and fortifications. During the " ate war this harbor was a great naval o lepot, and without it, the blockade could ^ lever have bijeti maintained. If we Cl diouid have a war with any naval power n his harbor would be no less important, c Especially would it be so in case of a se- c rious Cuban complication. The governucnt would need it at once for a rendezvous for the navy and as a coaling station. Yet in spite of its importance in . war, to say nothingofconimercein peace, 0 we have neither fortifications or suitable o lighthouses. We hope that our repre- P sentatives in congress will sec to it that " iction is tuken early in the coming ses- j! sion to remedy this neglect. a *125* Si A Warning to Corrupt Officials. h At last, after years of delay and the j exhaustion of all possible tricks to baffle j; justice Wiii. M. Tweed lias taken his t place among convicted felons. He was c' sentenced on Saturday last to twelve 1 years in the Touibs and twelve thousand ? Jollars fine for corrupt malfeasance in' tt .rffice. This man's seeming immunity a duee the time of the exposure of his mormons robberies was one of the c scandalous array of facts which gave rise t] to the belief abroad, as well as at home that, in New York, it was only necessary V to be a rascal on a giant scale to be per- j. 'ectly free from punishment. His sent- \> Mice sets this scandal at rest, at least so s ar as Tweed is concerned. Three years a igo he was the ruling power over a city if nearly a million of inhabitants* He a vielded all political authority there ; he tontroiled the Legislature of the State, ^ ivhethcr Republican or Uemocratic, c whenever it suited bis purposes; he had p he unlimited use of the public mofleys; h ic had possession of all the elective ma- 0 iliincry; he bad judges who were bis ^ treatures; be seemed to be itnpregnablv b ntrenched behind his solid barricades of t! 11-gottengrower, and acted in all re>pccts a is the absolute king of the most potent 'Ring 'this country ever saw. His au- n lacity knew no bounds.

The process has been w willfully slow, demanding the utmost ^ tatience, the strongest persistency; but ,< t has been sure, and the people and jus- p; ice have triumphedat last over a ''ring" iud so potent that the his imitators lere and elsewhere are dwarfed into v] ligmii s.

I COLUMBIA, Nov. 18. I Monday night the bill to appropriate ! payment of the expenses of the extra ' sion, caused the house to become ribly entangfed.

The nount of the appropriation for pay of embers and subordinates is seveuty;e thousand dollars. The bill to pay for the printing of the mi ig rat ion reports, supreme court rearts and thetax papers has passed, both juses appropriating $125,000 for this nrnose. There must be something iu climatic iangcs. Our Beaufort f'rieuds get on leir muscle frequently. The voluble nd good natured Greene got into a nail state of excitement over the apropriation bill last evening aud was ftrdy and willing to meet Humbert of hrrlingtou outside ''the bar of the house'' 'he smiling Hamilton, is perfectly .willig to stand to his assertions, inside or utside the "bar of this house"; staid lyers looks on and smiles with his muial Dinplucency, but has little to say that is ot direct to the question under cousidration. Altogether, with the hnrd work, specially in the committee rooms,, done y Senator Suialls, Beaufort has more ban an average delegation. November-21V Meetings have been held fortweevfenigs, at the state house, for the purpose f discussing*Cuban prospects. The hall f the house of representatives was >ackcd on both occasions, several ladies eing present. Patriotic speeches were lade by Judge Mackev, Congressman 'lliot, Judge Hoge, Professor Greener nd others of the republican party, and everal by the conservative side of the louse. As always has been the case on nch occasions, there was a good deal of uncombe talk, but no mistaking the eeling and undercurrent sentiment of he large assemblage. Our senator and nngre>sman co mittcd themselves to he cause of free Cuba. This evening, a quiet, but large mcetig of the officers of the national guard j.u Vi,.M nt flio state house. There was n entire absence of display of oratory sual on such occasions, and what sh uld c done in case of a demand for troops onsideratelv discussed. It was agreed hat the best method to pursue was that aught by the experience of other states hat were found ready to send troops in he field when the late war commenced, or this purpose company commanders 'ill know minutely the material and pirit of their companies, so that should ny quota be desired, or should it so hapen that coast defence be necessary theie iay be no time lost. The proceeding is wise one. The house has adjourned over until londay evening having finished their ork for which the extra session was ailed?excepting the arranging of the ublic debt. There was an exciting doate over the bill to limit the tenure of ffioe for certain state officers to two ears, upon which no decisive action is to e reported for this se-sion. The pay ill for this session has sailed through lie stormy seas of debate, been mutilated nd patched, and finally passed; the ?natc to-day rescinded the vote whereby ivcnty-five thousand dollars printing loney was knocked out of the bill as it auie from the house, and as the bill assed, the printingcompauy will be paid fty thousand dollars for the wo k of this ,'ssion: this in addition to the $12.0,(MR) icntioncd before, for immigration reorts etc Hie bill to authorize coroners to apoint constables has sunk into oblivion, r. is becoming quite a popular sentiment lat constables, county treasurers, audi>rs, ami trial justices should be elected istead of being appointed as now proided for, but it is not all probable that nv advance towards such a law, than esultory firing of words, will be made lis winter.
