The Ruin of South Carolina. . The history of the civilized world fur .nishes no example of deliberate and en forced run. such as is now witnessed ii" - -.' South Carolina. It is appalling to con t?mplate this sad spectacle of corruption and decay, rieht in the heart of the Atlan tic States, and in the midst of what is called our most advanced civilization. There, the Radical problem of reconstruc tion has been worked ont to its logical conclusion, with every possible influence to favor the.operatSoa.,..-,Xhe result is be fore us, and it tells, the whole story! With a lame majority of. black* as the canital for the experiments'* disciplined .and drilled bv secret societies, and docile in the hands of managers who wrought upon their su perstitious nature, the"' political power was readirv seized arkFheld. ' The.Admin istration threw the whole weicht ol' its influence into the scale to degrade and humiliate the white race, and sought pre tests for military intervention, to make j . the interference more hard to bear. The agents selected tc?reconstruct South Carolina were known as'peculiar friends of the President, and have adhered to him consistently throughout. They knew he held the power to crush them at any mo ment, and to destroy the whole fabric which had been reared UP bv their fraud, venality, and robbery. Selfishness, there fore, insured their fidelity. If General Grant had raised his hand egainst ' the conspiracy of rogues apd thieves who now hold possession.of South Carolina by his favor and protection^pnly, fcti?y sonia not have existed a day. " He and his Admin istration are directly responsible* for ' the degradation, destruction, and decay of that State. They have criminally and wilfully sacrificed it to serve a grovelling ambition. And now. at the end of more than three years of thia arbitrary rule, what .do we behol?? The virtue, intelligence, and pronerty of the State have beon disfran chised, while vice, ignorance, and barbar ism hive been raised to the lushest digni ties, intrusted with the .executive, legisla tive and iudiei-1 powers, and given com plete control of every great interest. The shrewd knaves who were chosen to carrv out the policy of ..the Administration, knew that if the State was secured to Grant, they would have perfect immunity for every crime. TKai was the onlv con dron imposed at Washington. They or ganized a Ring, and made the negroes at once the instruments of their corruption arfd Of their loyalty to t?/> President. Af ter a career of unchecked license., with hardly a sign of effective opposition to restrain it, the State and county treasu ries ?re now empt.v. Warrants and pav cr-r?ificates are sellintf for what they will fetch in market: Nearly all the public institutions are closed up or closing. Thc* public schools for the colored race are sus pended, and their teachers unpaid; chari table asylums for the deaf and dumb, for orphans, and for lunatics are without means of support, and the interest on the public debt is in arrears. .. Appropriations were made for all these and'many other objects not less important, and the taxes were collected with arbitra ry exactness. The State Treasurer admits having received under act of the Legisla ture $1.200.000, ouf of which SI.000.000. Had to be expended for specified purposes. Not a dollar of that money has been paid Last year about $$000,000 were extorted from the people in various lorms of taxa tion, all of which have disappeared with out an account being rendered, and this year S3.500.000 will be raised to swell the coffers of the Ring. These enormous sums of money have been absolutely stolen from thc treasury, and divided among rho thieves who are now shouting for Grant, to retain possession of power. But this barefaced brigandiam docs not stop here. They issued .^rat? bonds as long as purchasers ?could be found, ''end have resorted to every form of swindling in railroad jobbery, to 1!! their.pockets at the public expense. First bonds were put out fraudulently, and then the Legisla ture was bribed to validate the swindle. Twenty-five millions- bf dollars would not cover these frauds and forgeries. Since the negro legislators.'-came to feel their power, they have demanded a share in the spoils. The utter .venality of that crew may be illustrated by a single example On one day articles of mipe?chment against the Governor and State Tre isurer were adopted by a vote of two-thirds and th next defeated by three-fourths. They had b? :i bought tip in twenty-four horns, and thc cost of tad purchase was added to the taxation. And as if to pile Pelion .upon Ossa, "-.nf! make the burdens still more oppressive. ?he property of the State has been assess ed at nearly double i's value, it is doubt ful if the whole real and personal property i's worth a hundred millions of dollars, and yet it is taxed at a valuation of nearly two hundred rniiiion>, to produce a forced revena? of three nud a half. Such is the condition of .South Carolina, after time years of Grantism. Tjje wonder is that any people educated in our ideas, have peaceably submitted'?o be plundered . be fore their eyes by an organized gang ol robbers and rascals, who are outlawed by all the rules of justice. That tidy have consented to bear these, atrocious wrongs is the best proof of their un willingness*! o afford any pretext "for a collision; which has been sought by their enemies, in or der to raise a nev,-'outcry against the South, and to furnish thc excuse for inore laiiitarv intervention. Extortion attd/n ?ouity navebeen pushetVl? the last e.\ ?rcmity. Public sentiment bas ?t lengti been roused against these infamies and their authors. Th? tide begins to tuf and the current to swell, which. ir? X v?niber next will sweet- away every ves tige of this licensed- scouudrelism,, consign all concerned in it to the scorn and resentment ol' an indignant people.

Governor Yance states, that he was in formed by the Hon; fyverdy Johnson that the Supreme Court cl the 'United States have decided in one ol the South Carolina cases that the act.of Congress commonly known as the Ku-Klix Act is unconstitu tional, but that.lhe-cMuic.u ut tiie Cc_. will be purposely wit|rieid until after thc ' Court will, winn election This decision of>t??'! announced, put the finishing blow to Radi calism in North Carolina. United States Maishals, an 1 Judges; like Bond and Bus tccd, who disgrace their country will no longer be able to oppress our people. The importance ot this decision cannot be_ over-estimated. We can scarcely real ize* tliat the day has actually come when civil law reigns supreme in North Caro lina; yet with a. decision of P. Supreme Court of the United;Sjtates declaring the Ku-KIux' laws to oe unconstitutional, backing up the withdrawal of thc power from the President to suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus, it may be safely said that .he day of bayonet rule has passed. We have been through a terrible ordeal, but we verilv believe that better days are before us. We cannot aver-estimate, we say, thc importance of this decision. Its 6rst effect will be to put an end to the thousands of indictments in the Fedeia! Courts. Carrow and Bond will no longer be able to frighten voters away from the polls by. threats of Indictment against themselves or their?' friends. The people of North Carolina will at last be freemen once more. Thank God for the happy day ! It is rarely, however, that anything comes to us in thii world, either of un mixed good or unmixed evil, and so though we are overjoyed at'the great benefits to flow from the decision when announced, we are compelled to'admit .that "the fact that it is not arr.bunc'ed is an outrage of so gross a character as to disgrace the Court thus withholding its decidion from the world. But this is not ?.tji? first time the Su preme Court of the Skited State3 has dis graced itself in this .manner. It was Mr. Justice Grier, if w? mistake not, in the Garland or McArdle case, who asked that his disapprobation-ot the; action of the Tourb in refusing to" announce its opinion, after it had been formally agreed upon, might be entered of recdra. Judge Grier said-that thc Court was subjecting itself to censure and deserved censure. In that case we believe the object of the Court was to deprive a citizen of the benefit of the law by giving time to Congress to ma ture additional legislation taking away from Che Court its jurisdiction in the premises. In the present case the object of the Court is no less plain. It is the purpose to enable President Grant to proceed with his scheme of threats' and intimidation until after the electson. If the decision of the Court was announced Grant would suddenly collapse and lose all chance of re-election. It is a sad sight to see a Judge shame lessly playing tho partisan on the bench. It ie a part thatnoJudge ought ever to have the opportunity of playing the sec ond time. Por the first offence of this character a Judge oueht at once to be im peached and degraded from the Bench. The liberties of no people can be safe with a corrupt and partisan judici.ny. Clasping Hands Across thc Bloody Chasm."

MADE?), July 19. At midnight last night the carriage of thc King and ?ueen was fired upon by a party of assassins. The Kin-; mid Queen, who were the only occupants of the car riage, escaped uninjured. One of the as sassins was killed by an attendant, and two were captured. The royal family are now at the palace receiving the congratil la* i:.ns ol' the populace upon.-their narrow escape. Tho tranquility pf the cit}'.is undisturbed, although when the accounts of the affair began to be generally circula ted thew was lunch excitement. Crowds gathered in the neighborhood where the attack had beeu marie, and by four o'clock in thc. morning almost the entire-popula tion of Madrid was hastening through the streets. Their' Majesties remained self-" pwwessed during the scene of excitement which followed the attack and the briei conflict with the assassins.

He vas for-ninny years a Methodist preacher, ufi;\ hns been ali his life an ex emplary Christian, fi seems that the boys liad been stealing the old man's pears, lie loaded an old rusty shot-gun with slii;jrs and tied the barrel to the stock with twine. No sane man would have risked his lifo by using such a blunder buss. He fired ?it the Ind and killed him instantly, ?ir. Browne was one of the original owners ol' the Cincinnati Com mercial, and assisled in issuing the first number. Browne was at the battle of Ne w.-?.rieurs and was the hero of an oft told 6tory, HiVpwn.cd some cotton, which Jackson'took? for 'breastworks, pnd cpm-* plained to " Old Hickory," who thereupon gave hun a. musket and made him do duty. lt seems a hard ending of life, after 85 years, to go'l^forc one's Maker with hands "?^:ned With ? child's blood. .

This mode of tenting is very important to the purchaser, as he does not run the risk of receiving and setting up a Gin to find it, On trial, to be imperfect.
