To th? Merchants of Augusta. From tho Chronicle & Sentinel. DYSON'S MILLS, G. & C. E. E., 1 May 19,1871. J At t?ie request of many people of New berry, Abbeville, Laurens and Spartan burg, I propose to direct your attention to the benefit, and the cheapness as to con struction in building a railroad from Lotto, on the Columbi:?, and Augusta Railroad, to Dyson's Mills, on tho Greenville and Columbia Road The distance is only twenty-five miks. A perfectly level ridge, lying between tho waters of thc Saluda and the Savannah rivers, offers an easy, practicable alignment. There are no creeks to cross, but two small branches cut the way. There are no bills. The route, on this ridge, commencing at Lotts, running bv the widow Allen's, George M. Strothei's, Hiram May's, thence to -Dr.- Lovick Hill's, and from thence following on the side of the ridge along a branch which empties at Dyson's Mills, makes almost a perfect lev i l, without a ?ingle deep cut on the whole line. There are fine bodies of long leaf pine o.' this rouie, th'' remainder of the lorest being post oak, &c. Dyson's Mills are the central point of a large area of fer . tile country. I he people like the Augusta market better than any other. If the people of Edgcfield will combine, the same company can easily give them a short branch from the fine House, and this ought to be satisfactory to them. A road through Edgefi?ld to" Ninety-six, or to New Market, will mn across many large creaks, and cm hundreds of hills. It would be longer, very expensive, and would nev er pay. The'route I propose is cheap.. ; ips a rich country, and the distance much liorter, and the plan I proposa would ac commodate both Edgefi village anda rich tract of country lying in <our coun ties. .. . The route to ?hi-Greenville Poad, which J propose, seems to have been formed by Nature for a railroad, abounding in fine timber and will furnish a good local busi ness for the products of fine lands. The merchants in Augusta ought to demand that this road should be built-and assist in building it. These contributions would be small, and they would more than get them back in increased trade, as it is not one-fourth of the distance to Charleston, and Augusta would get the largest part of the trade of this middle part of South Carolina. If the merchants of Augusta will furnish the iron we will do the grad ing and furnish the cross ties, taking stock for pay. "With proper encouragement, 1 believe that every man along the route will grado through his lands "and furnish the cross ties. Will the merchants of Au gusta and the Columbia Augusta Eoad aid ?

[Correspondence of the New York Sun.] WASHINGTON, May 2S, in view of the President's recent proc lamation declaring South Carolina in a siate of insurrection and warning the in surgents to disperse within twenty days, the interview between Gov. Scott of that State and the President which took place on Saturday, had a. peculiar significance. The Governor said there had been no dis turbance of the pubbc peace in South Carolina, aid mildly insinuated that thc blood and thunder proclamation was as unnecessary as it was ineffective. GEANT AIDING THE KTJ-KLUX What the Governor said he needed to in jure obedience to the laws was a better class of men in the Federal offices in the State. For instance, he wanted a new rjnited States Marshal appointed-ene who would see that the laws were obej ed, and who would arrest all offenders. The Governor said h? did not wish martial law, but he thought the presence.of a few troops might be well to aid the Marshal in arresting illicit whiskey men aucl other offenders against the Federal laws. The Governor told the President that every body in South Carolina laughed at .his pi wlamation, for thc simple reason that il was based on a state of affairs that did not ?dst. There was no insurrection in that State, nor was there anything like an organized movement to create a breach of the peace. A BIG HINT TO GOV. SCOTT. rhe President listened to all these things with a look of the most stolid indiffer ence. When the Governor had finished speaking he asked him what he wanted him ( the President) to do. With a look of surprise, Scott said : " Why, your Excellency, I have just b ?en telling you. I want you to make a in w set of appointments in South Carolina. 1 want men who are capable of enforcing the civil law, and who have nerve enough to arrest offenders against 4he same." .Humph!" remarked his Excellency, '. I hardly know what to do. Have you seen these ?" And the President drew from his drawer a copy of resolutions pass <.;.! by the Republican State Contrai Com mittee, endorsing President Grant's ad ministration, and deokring in favor of his renomination! The President read them over with a blow, drawling accent, while Scott, who knew just what they were and what it all incant, squirmed in bis seat like an impa tient schoolboy. When ho had got through the President said : .. Xow, what did you say you wanted ul'- to do ?" Utterly disgusted; with the trifling na ture'of this question, Scott repeated ?his views! " Humph !" said the President. " How clo your people feel down there in regard to the next Presidency ?" .. Well, sir." said" Scott-, " to tell you the truth, we haven't thought much about it. We !:..'.>:. had a hard time of it to keep "the party from going to ?pieces. You see, the party in South Carolina is so filled up with thieves that we have io keep our eyes op. n. or the whole State would bp carnea off." THE PRESIDENT SMILED at this and asked if the thieves were not .'.!! dr..von out yet. _ After some further conversation the Governor withdrew] Con ing down Pennsylvania avenue, Scott met friend who knew of the errand he had been on. Said the latter : " Well, Governor, how did you make out?" '. Why," answered Scott, " I didn't make o it ami hing. Do you know that 1 begin t . thinli .that the reports I have heard about that man's capacity are all true '.' Why, J Talked foran hour trying to make him see a certain point, aud I'll be hanged if J could beat it into his head to save me. Tho truth is, the poor fool don't think of anything but, renomination. That's the burden of his thoughts by day aud his dreams by right. If the realization of his dreams depended upon South Carolina, he would stand about as much chance ci being President again as I do. He rc;d overa lot of resolutions there, and evi dently wanted me to promise that the South Carolina Republicans would pass a similar set. They'd sw him to tophet first. My whole interview with him was just so much time thrown away. I might as well have talked to a stick." And with this thc Governor stalked off indignantly. HOMICIDE.-A fa'.al shooting affray oc curred at Batesvillc, about two milos above Pacolet Depot, in partanburgCounty, on Thursday night, tl. . 1st inst., by which a young man nt?med.- ir.?y Hampton-lost his life.

For the information of those desiring to engage in fruit distilling during the ap proaching season, Capt. G. A. DAELING, Assistant Assessor, has kindly furnished us the following brief synopsis of the [re quirements of the internal revenue law in respect to the distillation of fruit : Before commercing work the distiller must resister the kind and number of his stills with the assistant assessor, and give notice, through him, to the assessor of his intention to distil. Blanks for such regis try and notice will be supplied by the as sistant assessor. Upon receipt of the notice the assessoi proceeds to make a survey of the capacity of the distillery, or, in other words, to de termine what Quantity of brandy the dis tillery is capable of producing, in twenty four hours. The survey having been completed, the distiller must then execute bond with at least two approved securities-the penal sum of this bondis fixed by the assessor and must not- be less than double the amount of tax on the brandy that the dis tillery .is capable of producing in thirty davs," and in no case less than five hundred dollars. Having complied with the foregoing requirements, thc- distiller can commence work. The following additional requirements must then be observed : . * The distiller must provide himself with a book, thc form of which has been pre scribed bv the Commissioner of Internal Revenue," and make daily entries in their book of the hours of running, kind and quantity of material used, number of boil irigs ma'de, and quantity of singling pro duced. It is mest important that this book be carefully and accurately kept. ? The distiller must also have some place of deposit for his brandy, until it has Deen gauged, marked and stamped. This may be any"house or building, most suitable for the purpose, and must be named and de scribed m the notice given before com mencing work. All brandy should be put into casks of not less than twenty gallons capacity, and transferred to this place of deposit", and then held until gauged, mark ed and stamped. Price, $1.50. On or before the twenty-fifth day of each month the distiller is required to no tify the collector of the probable number of "packages of brandy ne will have on hand at nie close of the month to be gaug ed, at which time the collector will send a guager to guage and make the same. The guager having guaged the brandy will make report of the same in triplicate, and will hand one copy of such report to the distiller ; upon receipt of this report thc distiller will make his monthly return on form 15, embracing therein the account kept in his distillers' book, und the wine and proof gallons of brandy as ascertained by the gauger's report. " The brandy produced each month should be kept and guaged . separately, otherwise the distiller, in making his monthly re port will not know how much brandy to return. e No brandy can be removed for sale or use ui til it has been guaged, marked and stamped. The guager's fees, which will be about .ie dollar per barrel, to be paid by the distiller. Fruit distillers pay the following taxes : 1st. A special tax, or license, at the rate of fifty dollars per annum, to be reck oned from "the first day of the month in which distilling is commenced, to thefi.se day ci May following ; for example, a fruit distiller beginning any time in August is assessed for nine months, amount $37.50 ; any time in September, eight months, amount $33.33 and so on. 2d. A tax of fifty cents per gallon on all proof brandy produced. In addition to this the assessor, on receipt of the dis tillery report, by means of the survey, above referred to, makes an estimate of the brandy the distillery should have made during the month. In making this estimate, allowance is made for all stoppages and suspensions, as the calculation is based upon the hours the distiller}* was actually run. If, then, the brandy made during the month is less than eighty per cent, ol* the capacity thus ascertained", the distiller is assessed upon eighty per cent, of the deficiency at fifty cents per gallon. By careful management, however, it is believed this deficiency can be avoided. The experience of some of the distillers last season may be averse to this, but if they will examine into their operations, they will find that their de ficiencies were "the result of bad manage ment, rather than over-estimated capaci ties. Many of them would boil their stills only partially filled, and, in many in stances, when more than one still was em ployed, part would be run and the remain der left idle ; then distillers would, . by keepingpoor fires retard boiling, and throw the number of boilings below the number they were required to. make. By avoiding all these hindrances and drawbacks, at least eighty per cent, of their capacity can be produced. One great trouble last season was that distillers did not post themselves as to the laWi and in view of this, it is urged upon all expecting to distil from fruit to make themselves familiar with ubove named requirements. They should also make application as early as possible, in order te g; ve ample time for the arranging of all preliminary papers. Cumulutive Voting. The Marion Crescent closes an article presenting an adverse view of cumulative voting as follows : "The question now is whether the peo ple of this Slate will sustain the action of their representatives in the late Columbia Convention, and commit themselves- for. ail time to come to this new doctrine of cumulative voling. " The leaders of the Radical party, by promptly endorsing the measure, have shown u magnanimity and disinterested patriotism to which they have heretofore been strangers ; are pursuing a deep laid scheme to lull into repose the excited pas sion of the tax-payers, and to postpone to a more distant day the extermination of i h vir power which this excitement seemed to threaten in the near future. " But, however this may be, it behooves the tax-payers and property holdere of this State to weigh well this matter, and con sider whether owning as they do nearly all the land in the State, and possessing as they do the capacity within a given and limited time, by pursuing an intelligent and common sense policy, to control the State and government, it would be better tb compromise their entire future control for a limited and minor present influence. Wc opine that the 30,000 negro majority claimed by thc Radicals will disappear 'as soon as we have a fair and impartial elec tion law, and we incline to the belief that in this will be found the secret of the ex treme anxiety of the Radical leaders for the adoption of minority representation." Washington special to the New York Evening Post says: "There has been a. ripple of excitement for some days in diplomatic circles in consequence of Mr Catacazy, the Russian Minister, not hav ing been invited to the State dinner given on Saturday last to all the foreign minis ters in Washington by Secretary Fish. The matter has occasioned a good deal of talk among that class of people who relish such bits of gossip, and specula tion has boen rife as to the causes which led Mr. Fish to thus slight tho Russian Minister. It seems that ? for some time pa.st the personal relations between Mr. Fish and Mr. Catacazy have not been of the wannest character, and it is now re ported that for reasons-, serious in their nature, all further social intercourse be tween them is likely to be brought to an end, and that in future tho failure of the Russian Ministers to receive an invitation to State dinners is not to be attributed to any oversight on the part of the Secretary of State." $3- Messrs. E. W. Seibels & Co., real estate brokers in Columbia. S. C., during the past week sold the lot corner o-f Main and Lady streets, on which tho United States Hotel stood prior to Shetrman's visit, for $11,000 cash, Col. J. J. Patterson being the purchaser, who intends to erect a large and imposing building at once. THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, S. C., June 8, 1871. The Land and Immigration Associa*' lion. The sale of the tickets to the Gift Con certs in favor of this enterprise, that will redound so much to tho material devel opment of our State, is without prece dent. But when we reflect upon the splendid gifts, the first being the Academy of Mu sic in Charleston, with a rental of twenty thousand dollars, and the second, one hundred thousand dollars, besides nu merous other valuable gifts, we cannot say that we are surprised. For the lucky one will get these splendid prizes for five dollars, and those who fail to get prizes will have the the consolation of knowing they have contributed their mite to a laudable enterprise. But with BUTLER, CHADWICK & GARY, all men who have played successful roles in life, how could one expect anything else but unparalleled success. You must buy quickly gentlem?n, or you will fail to get a ticket. Success is sure, and in less than twelve months in dustrious in immigrants will be amongst us, to help us build up our fallen fortunes and our exhausted State. ?-?t^^+m . ? ? Farther Democratic Signs. Thc New York Sun, avery influential political sheet, Radical in politics, butex tremely fierce and bitter against the abuses of the Radical party and the fol lies of Grant's administration, has ele vated at its mast-head what it terms " The Peoples Candidates," viz : William S. Groesbeck, of Ohio, for President, and John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, for vice-President. This is followed by the platform so re cently adopted at Harrisburg, by the Pennsylvania Democratic State Conven tion. Then come the editorial com ments of the Sun. The following aro the concluding paragraphs. There can now be little question that these ideas will be adopted with 'unani-. mity and enthusiasm by. tho Democracy of the whole Union, and lhat the Presi dential election of 1872 will be fought upon them. When Pennsylvania and Ohio speak in this manner, their declara tions must bo echoed by Massachusetts, by Illinois, by Missouri, and by all the States of the South. This puts an end forever to the.hope of reviving the issues of the rebellion ' for use in any future Presidential election ; and it puts an end forever to all possibility of the re-election of Gen. Grant by any party or on any platform. The Democracy show the highest po litical, wisdom in their enunciation of this memorable and patriotic programme. Now let us see if they can display equal wisdom in *the selection of their men. With such men as William S. Groesbeck as their candidate for the Presidencv and John Quincy Adams as their candidate for Vice. President, and with this pro gressive platform, their success in 1872 becomes more than probable. The Universal Life Insurance Com pany. . * Last week we called attention to the advertisement of this great Company, which is nov/ to be found in ourcolumns, and remarked that we would this week, endeavor to say something more particu lar upon the subject: Since then we have had a personal in terview with Mr. SHACKXEFORD, an hon orable and intelligent gentleman, General Agent of the Universal for the-Southern States. And we have learned, further, that, our distinguished fellow-citizens, Gen. M. C. BUTLER and Gen. M. W. GA RY, have accepted propositions from the Universal to become its General Agents for the State of South Carolina. If we mistake not they. both enter upon their services in this Company on the 1st of September next. It will thus be seen that three Edgefield men of the highest standing and of undoubted business ca pacity will be among the representatives of the Univei'sal in our State-Generals GARY and BuTLimand Capt. GEO. LAKE. The Universal Lifo Insurance Compa ny is conspicuously and favorably known to the publie as the original stock Ufe in surance Company of the United States. And having successfully demonstrated tho feasibility of a great reduction (fully twenty-five per cent.) from the rates of premium usually charged by life insu rance companies, the managers of the Universal now propose to add to the popu larity of their company by granting to their policy-holders participation in the profits ol the company in a manner which secures to them a share in the pecuniary advantages hitherto exclusively enjoyed "by the stockholders. This liberality can not fail to add largely to thc business and popularity of the company, more espe cially as it is dealt out with no niggard hand, the plan adopted placing policy holders aud stockholders on a precisely similar footing. The company's adver tisement briefly explains the manner in which this is effected. When it is recollected that no pecuniary benefits can accrue to the stockholders that are not equally participated in by the policyholders, the advantages of the new plan become very apparent. Thus the system inaugurated by the Universal, and peculiar to that company, introduces for the first time into the busi ' ness of life insurance, and in their full significance and effectiveness, the impor tant elements of the saving influences ol interested management and the, conser vatism and security inseparable from in vested capital from which an income is to be derived. As regards the cost of insurance to the policyh older, it may be stated that the policy granted by the Universal guaran tees that the cost shall not, in any case, exceed that which the experience of the oldest and-best managed mutual compa nies, taking into account their periodical returns of surplus, has developed ; while the plan of participation explained in the company's advertisement gives promise pi' a still further reduction. The relia b.'lity of this promise is accurately mea sured by tho probability'that the stock holders will reap an advantage from the investment and care of their capital. No reasonable person can ask more than that. As regards tho financial condition of the Universal, it is enough to say that its assets are in proportion to its liabilities as 136 to 100. Thc company is, therefore, in a sound and flourishing condition, fully establishing its claim for public con fidence. Its Board of Directors comprise a num ber of professional and business men of New York, of the highest repute, and of tho purest Democratic record ; while its active managers are gentlemen of the most extended experience in the business of Lifo Insurance, and highly respected for their ability and personal worth. And the fact that thej' nov/ come forward and voluntarily propose to shcre with their policyholders tho pocuniary advantages which their own spirited enterprise, thorough knowledge of their business, and able management have won gives their company tho strongest possible claim for a generous and hearty response from the insuring public ; and we doubt not but it will be fully accorded. " The Constitution .Hust Be Re stored." Our spirited contemporary, tho Sumter News, So prominent as the solitary oppo nent of the Reform movement in South Carolina, has just entered upon its Sixth. Volume, and is in flourishing condition. We are happy to record these facts. The News still utterly flouts all idea of en dorsing and adopting the ideas and prin ciples of the Mongrel party, and says emphatically " The Constitution Mttstbc The Drift of the Democratic Tide. The Democratic Stato Convection of | Ohiohas ratified Vallandigham' s platform of 44 the new departure," as it is popular ly called, which means accepting the pp litical situation just* as^t now i^sfaral? lowing the reconstruction, laws and the new amondtnents, 'and 'regarding them as finalities., j As in iher??ent Democratic |, Convention of Penqfc$vS,nia, '"so iiowln that of Ohio,'there -Was some ?'dissent against;the unqualified acceptance of re construction and the three amendments to the Constitution. Butha both Conven tions tho majority was overwhelmingly the other way, and the minority quietly yielded. The Democracy of New Eng land, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri, other Western States, have heretofore taken.the same ground? The-j Democrats of Kentucky have advanced*! very nearly up to. tho line, while the Democratic State Committees of Tennes see and Arkansas have, within the last week, adopted resolutions cordially ac cepting the amendments. The Democracy of the Southern States j'will not follow Vallandigham. . Nor . 9hould they. But it is already plainly to j to be seen that they "will be almost pow erlessly in the minority. ? ->-? Congressman Bowen Overtaken by the Law. Ex-Congressman Bowen, of this wretch ed and deeply befouled State, lias been found guilty of bigamy. He was tried in Washington last week, and the jury promptly convicted him.' His lawful wife is ii lady, whose maiden name was Hicks, a native and resident of Augusta. He was never divorced from her, although he endeavored by all manners of rascaly means to make it appear so.... The last woman ho man-fed was the high bred and accomplished Mrs. King' ol' Charleston, the daughter of Jas. S. Petigru. She was with him in the Court room when the jury rendered their ver-' diet, and retired, with him, so the tele grams say " in deep emotion;" She for got her name, her race, and her State, most fearfully, but pity for ? her. should now swallow up all indignation. : Horace Greely Will and He Wont. Horace Gre?ly, notwithstanding, that he is a Radical, and a. philosopher, and somewhat tainted with 44 the higher law/' and 44 free love" and with 44 hifalutin", generally, is a right honest, good-natured, benevolent old fellow. He is traveling in the south-West-now in Texas^-and attracting much public attention wher ever he goes. -Tlie people of Kansas are anxious to bring his name before the next National Republican Convention as Candidate for President in 1872, and have requested his views in tho matter. He answers thusly : I trust never henceforth to be an aspirant for any office or political po sition .whatever, but I- fully purpose, also, never to decline any duty or responsibility which my political friends shall see fit tb devolve upon me, and of which I shall be able to fulfil the obliga tions without neglecting more impera tive duties. I havo not yet formed a de cided opinion as to thc man who ought to be our next Republican candidate for President, but it seems to me advisable that he should be a steadfast, constant believer in the good old Whig doctrine of one Presidential term.

And* first' tho 'equilibrium.' Is it not plum to the understanding of the African, population amongst us, and.tho.foreigii, ers, and the men amongst us who have forsaken the true principles of the South, that they have usurped a position, and adopted a creed, the tendency of which is to destroy all equilibrium and harmo ny,' and by the force pf circumstances Tarray themselves'against the superiors of Tthls Univers?^-n?xt to'God. The Cau-' casian race through all ?he vicissitud?s of the past have been successful, and the only correct conclusion for tho future is to reckon or judge from tho past. The inequality is fearful. Let us examine it. Here is a race at the South lately in the bonds of slavery--a race who perhaps started" in their national career,with that of the white or Caucasian .race.-rwho have never invented or developed either" art, science, literature, mechanics, reli ?gion, or regular government, who aspire, in connection witha fractional portion of tho most inferior sate, to the government of this grand and ;chivalrQUs portion of the American Continent, . Think of it, oolored friends, the fearful inequality, and trust no longer tp mere numerical strength. Now it is a law in the Universe, that conflict will always be in preparation to, or in accordance with, the disturbance or ' destruction of the equiUbriirm. You see it iii all the departments-the physical, the moral, the intellectual, and govern mental too.. "Well .then if conflict'must come with infringement'of the invariable laws of creation, jit 'must bring along with it death, and poverty, and distress, and probably an'utter annihilation of the weaker portion. But it is possible by restoring the equi librium, more or less to modify the con flict. Can this be restored ? I answer no. But if the African-race here amongst us will turn theh backs upon all foreign ers who wish to deal in our government arid upon all those of the white race who are not true to the South in this her time of trouble, a modification, more or less^ pf the conflict will result, and possibly the franchise may be. vouchsafed to the African race. But if this is done, it. will be altogether from : ulterior views; and considerations. : Let it be understood that all true men -men true to tho principles .of tho South -are friends to the black man, and will ^stand up to him,, and'protect him in his property, his life, and his rights. But let.him remember that; it is thc opinion of all friends of good government, that he is not qualified by reason of his igno rance of government and by reason of Iiis innate deficiencies, to partioipat? in the administration of government ; and let' him bear in mind that, for the happiness of himself and family,, to' forbear, and let others who are ' competent, and or dained by creation to b? at the head ol" all governments, administer this. Is not this reasonable? Is it not apparent that tho State is full of highly. educated and refined citizens who would be true to you, and all of us, both white and black ? And who w'oulcU-ftdf?mistcr tho govern ment economically and righteously, and save thousands of conflict, the force of which, hy reason of the laws aboVe ex plained, must fall upon thc inferior or African race. ' It is true that immediately after thc surrender, when tho Vile wretches who came here to take tho a flairs ol' our State in hand, and a very.large portion of our forni?r slaves united with them to see how much they could afflict us, lhere certainly was a great deal of feeling against the colored race, which was per fectly natural under the circumstances. But the writer can speak for the people now, and speak what he knows to be true, that there is no unkind feeling for the black race outside of his creed in politics. It is determined that tho African race shall not govern this State, neither by themselves, nor in connection with others not true to the country. When the time arrives for th. overthrow of the powers that bc, conflict will cease more or less', and thc black man will be more or less happy and comfortable. The black man ought to feel bis incompetency, and re tire fronr all the positions ho now occu pies, thereby rendering his raco a great service, and saving an ocean of conflict. ; CITIZEN. From Lo ii is ina. NKW OBX KANS, June 5.-Tho flood? is increasing. Water ?s as near up Canal street as Rampart street, with the excep tion of-tiie neutral ground on Canal street, which is not entirely covered east of Clai borne. There is ?ii' uhhrokeh sheet ol' water from Villefy street to tho M?tairie bridge, and from the new to the old ba-* sin, an area of five or six square miles, including about three hundred thickly inhabited squaros.! The sulfering of the inhabitants of this quarter, especialty among the poorer classes, is very great "Thousands living iU'single story houses have moved out; while most of those liy 'ing in two story houses have been com pelled to-move into the second story. Back of Clairbonei on Canal,, there is un average depth of two feet of water. The city authorities seem, to bo doing all they .can to alleviate'the sufferings of the pepplQt Every-avaUable boat- and skiff has hepn brought into use. Policemen may be seen moving.in almost : every di rectiou, rendering suclinssistanco as they can-moving thoso who arc iii danger, and distributing provisions to the needy. The damage by .this overflow' cannot be estimated witty any degree of certainty. Tho shrubbery and gardens have alhbecn ruined; houses damaged and property depreciated.". The?yerflbw' directly from the Lake Gentilly road-quarter has c?us-. ed heavy Joss in.

Impeaching Governor Scott. A correspondent writing from Columbia/ under1 date of May 2{?-scnds thc following singular story to the New York. Sun : A most; '.beautiful conspiracy-, has just come to light-here/by which it waj inten ded io s'^ize thc State'" Government for the. timt?jbeing; and enact all sorts of laws mp thc Benefit of the thie-v>s qrdanj the Stater! house. It seems tliat. .v.iiori the fact be came, knowivthat Governor'pcott intended visiting New York, several of the jackals, who arc constantly nosing about, resolved to plan a coup d'etat. Licutenant-Gover Dor Eausier, Frank Moses, Jr., speaker of the. House, General .Dennis, pf the furni ture swindle, and a dozen others, resolved' as soon as-iicott had passed beyond the .borders oflneJSMc to issue a proclama tion ovW\KansieVs;namo calling the Leg islature .tqgetherjmpeach Scott for alleged malfeasance m office, susp^nnr7?m' 'fro?i office, and pass the celebrated per diem bill which was defeated in March last by Scott's veto. The members are suffering for monev. Many of them have spent their whole time smce the adjournment in C r>1i imbi a, afilad to go back to' their con stituencies.' It-"was a beautiful project. ?Ransier was to call in the Legislature the same day Scott left. As nearly all the members-are in Columbia ornear it, Speak er Moses was to organize it the next. day. On the next day . ARTICLES OP IMPEACHMENT were to ?haye been introduced? and Gov ernor Scott suspended. ;. Of course. then they could afford to await the Governor's return, and in thc meantime, he being Sowerles's, they could have passed the! per iem stealing bill, the Greenville Railroad '.bill, the furniture bill, and hosts of-others, that were designed to,plunder the State.. Fortunately, the- little game got bruited abroad. .Scott left the- city for "Washing ton on Wednesday last. On the morning of that day a gentleman well known in the politics of. thc State, and who now holds an . office'in* the Executive'Department, met Ransier in the- street. Says Beal " Look here,- Ransier, what means this report I hear about ? taking possession of the Sfate Government ? Let me tell you this-if# you and your 'associates contem plate any.such action as that, and you succeed even for an hour in. having your self declared Governor of this State;- the j, whole top of your HEAD WOULD BE SHOT OFF before you coukPsay Jack-Robinson, and" so would " your I associates be treated. Re* member that. I am with you in politics, but I certainly wouldn't be responsible for what may happen in the event of your carrying out .your plans." Ransier, who is a negro of the 'very worst class, rather quailed before this ti rade of one of his own friends, and straight way the new turn affairs had . taken was .communicated-to Moses. The two then thought the matter ovei?, and like a certain, California.traveller that ? have read about, they came to thc ' conclusion that they didn't care about busting Scott " anyhow, somehow br other," and so the whole project fell through. - Next fall, however; at the regular session, it is more than like ly that articles ^f-impeachment; will be introduced. . Scott has fallen out with the Statehouse gang, because of his veto of thcir swindling schemes, and of his affilia tion with thc recent taxpayers' conven tion. v' -.-...?i. ' ?--a_ For the Advertiser. Tribute of Respect. STAB LODGE, NO. 99, A. F. M., Gr?nit?vile, S. C., June, 1st, 1871. WHEREAS, It has pleased thc Supreme Architect of the Universe, out of his in scrutable wisdom, to visit us again, with au alllictive dispensation. Death has again entered our Lodge and removed from off'the chequered scenes of Life our Brother, M. W. CURL-one who, by his quiet and gentle demeanor, had en deared himself to,us all. And'while we commit his remains to their last resting place, and drop the. sympathetic tear over his grave, yet we cannot l>iit mourn his loss, and feel that a void has been created in our midst which cannot be ' filled. To oiler ? feeble tribute to his worth as expressive of our affection and esteem. Bo it, therefore, Resolved. That we sincerely sympathise with his bereaved wife in her sad litllic tion. Resolved, That a blank page in our Journal be dedicated to n?a memory. Iiesolucd, That wc wear tho usual badge ol' mourning on thc left arm i'or..thirty days. ' ". BoKolvcd, That the Secretary forward a copy ol'those Resolutions to the family ol' ?ur deceased Brother. J. E. COOK, C. K, HENDERSON, , TlL?IAN FALKNER, Committee. ?Sr The Marianna (Fla.) Opuricfattya : "Mr. Columbus Davidson, residing fif teen miles cast of this place, is tho happy father of an infant two weeks old that is only nine inches in length and weighs but two pounds. It is remarkable for its vivacity and cheerfulness, arid is quite pretty. It can turn "itself in bcd and cries most lustily when thc light is ex tinguished. Thc appearance of the babe is very similar to a large and beautiful wax doll. It is perfectly healthy, and strong hopes and ' confidence in being able to raise it aro entertained by .ita parents." Military Rule Foreshadowed. The assertion of General Pleasanton, the " right bower" of Grant, in a speech in Boston i\'f, tho. meeting .of-th o Grand Army of the Republic, that thc niilitary know more about civil, affairs than civ ilians, hud ought to have all the appoint ments, is . attracting considerable atten tion at Washington. It is probably a " feeler" preparatory to Grant's assuming I tho dictatorship after awhile. BS?* Mercy is an element which does not enter into the Froncli character when once their passions aro aroused. And because this is. the case, tho- drumhead and the guillotine will bein active play for many days to como in Paris. All ot the leaders who have not y ot been made way with, must expect to expiato their folly with their lives. The. turbulent spirits who for years have fomented dis :ord and,instigated uprisings among the lower classes, will be thoroughly stamp-) ed out. ,. . SELTZER A Rebellious Stomach.
