The Bond Case. The South Carolinian is persistent in its endeavor to hold the present State ad ministration up to the rack which has been manufactured out of the planks of its platform of 1S72. Referring to the application of the New York bondholders, now pending before the Supreme Court, it concisely narrates the creation of the fraudulent bonded debt of the State by Scott's Financial Board, and hopes that the court will order "orallow" a thorough investigation, lt adds : The eyes of the peoMe are now upon the administration, and upon the .Supreme Court. We have no desire to condemn either the one or the other in this connec tion. Thev have done nothing as yet de serving eitker of praise or censure. " If we are a little suspicious, it is nothing for them to be offended at, for the past has certainly justified very grave distrust of the powers that be "in all their tomes .bearing upon the public -finance! What the people .most apprehend in this suit of Morton, Bliss & Co. is not that an mirne diate tax will be levied to pay the inter est upon the debt, but that some half-way measures will bc-adopted, and instead of a full and thorough investigation into the debt, and an explicit and satisfactory de cisi?n of the court as to the illegal bonde, the case will be allowed to slide off upon BD-ne side issue, and the debt be left in the same entangled and uninteligible condi tion which it is nott in. ..Hmportaut Business Detained Him.'' When the funeral services of the" late Chief Justice Chase took place in New York city, on the 10th instant, a dispatch was received from Washington regretting that his Excellency, the President, would find it impossible to attend, as important business detained- him at Washington. It now turns out that the important bu siness-of State which- prevented the Pres ident frena-being present among the mour ners was the trial of a pair of-young colts. The New York Times, which is the per sonal organ of President Grant, in its is Boe of the 11th instant, contained the fol lowing from its Washington telegraphic correspondence : The President was out on the road to day exercising a pair of under, three-year? old colts, which he has'just had sent from his farm near St. Louis.. One. is a dark bay and the other a beautiful dapple bay. Driven together, they show supr-rb style, speed, and action, and are probably the finest pair of horses of their age ever brought to Washington. They an- coirs of the President's own raising, and he was scarcely aware until he saw them on the farm that such a new possession and de light were in store fpr him. This explanation, though. perRips eh tirely satisfactorv to the personal friends and admirers of M?nerai Grant, doss . not comport with that -integrity, intelligence, ability andculture which should charac terize the President of the United States in his private and official relations. Our horse-junketing President deftly fingers the ribbons' belrind a pair of three y?ir j old colts in. Washington-while the .obse quies of the late Chief Justice ok. a co ordinate branch of the Government are taking place in New York. Important business prevented him from paying thf last tribute of respect to the remains of a man who in his day did more for the suc cess rf the party that elevated Grant to the Presidency than any other man in it -not even excepting Seward, Greeley or Lincoln. Nero fiddled while Rome was burning ; .and General Grant" drives fas! horses while the remains of the great and shining lights of the Radical parly are being conveyed lo the grave. If tho Republican party can stand this, the peo ple of the South must await the coming of a reaction which will elevate men of dignity and character and ability to the Presidential chair, lt is true, " it was none of our fuueral," but still we have our opinion about the shabby subterfuge to which General Grant rcst.rted in pleading important business. His conduct was disgraceful to the high office which bc holds and an insult to the American peo ple.-Chronicle & Sentinel. , Judge Carpenter and Treasury War rants. In the court room yesterday in the case of Niles G. Parker vs. R. J. Donaldson, Judge Carpenter made a* point, which w? deem weil taken for the Judge and well taken for the State-a point good in lav. and good for the public treasury. He held that Treasury Warrants issued to a State officer in pursuance of a Legislative appropriation, were not transferra bl eur as signable for the reason that they are the property of the State ; and the officer to whom they are issued is but the naked custodian of the funds which the warrants represent. f This is the right view. Had it prevailed rather earlier in the day, or had the ex Attorney-General who now assents to the principle, made it effective when he was the legal officer of the State Gevernmerit, much would have been saved to a plun dered State and a robbed treasury. South Carolinian, 17th. A FATAL ACCIDENT.-It.has just come to our knowledge that about ten days ago a fatal accident occurred at Black Rock, in this, county, causing the death of a: colored man, named Leander Coleman, from a gun in the hand'of another colored man named Major Rice. It appears that Rice is a shoemaker, and some three or four colored men were in his shopj at the time of the accident, full of fun. Some o? them hid Rice's knee strap, and when he asked for it was'told that Coleman had it. Coleman denied it, and all were en joying the joke. Rice, inperfect good hu mor, went into the next room and took np a gun, that he thought had no load in it, j put a cap on the nipple and in a jocular manner said to Coleman, " now give mt that strap, or voa are a goner,'' poipthig the gun at lum. Coleman laughed al him, when Rice pulled the "trigger; the gun went off and lodged a load of shot in Coleman's body, killing him "ahnest instantly. There can be no doubt that it was purely accidental. Rice is much dis tressed at "the occurrence.- Unvm Timen. [From tho Pontville (Iowa) Review.]. A Sickening Story.

Edgefield, S. C., May 22, 1873. & Surrender of Col. Alcibiades De Blanc. This gentleman, a prominent Creole citizen of St. Martin's .Parish, "La., and leader of the St. Martin's militia in their late defensive campaign against Kellogg's Metropolitan Police, surrendered, with together leaders, to a Deputy United States Marshal on Monday, the 12th inst. Col. De Blanc was by no means forced to this surrender, as Genl. Badger and his force, the Metropolitan Police, were at the time very much at his mercy. In deed rt woMkl seem that the lattor had from the brsrinning been totally unable to contend with Col. De Blanc and his militia. Upon surrendering himself and ? disbanding his forces, Col. Dc Blanc writes to G*ov. McEnery a very -manly and truthful letter, giving a brief 'but perspicuous account of his late move* ments in St. Martins Parish, bis motives for organizing a local militia force and defying the Metropolitans, and his rea rons for disbanding his troops in face of theil. S military and surrendering to tim U.S. Marshal. In this letter, Col. De Blanc makes three noteworthy points, First, he w\as resolved not to assent to the validity of the Kellogg government by yielding to the Metropolitan Police. Sec ond, he Ayas resolved not to bc brought into collision with"'tue United States military, and thus, made liable to the charge of high treason against the United States. . Third, he-and his command and the citizens who sympathized with their objects, had .no thought of interfering with the rights of colored citizens, and were per'V'tlv willing tn recotrnize all the Radical orBoorselected, provided they would recognize McEnery as Governor. On the litth. Col. De Blanc and those who surrendered with him arrived in j^New Orleans in charge of a Deputy Mar shal and a squad of Federal soldiers, Upon stepnjnir from thc boat they were rpeeived with tromendons cheers bv ? crowd of seven or eisrht thousand citizens who had assembled to welcome them They -were fhen released, fo Appear be fore a United States Commissioner next day." All were admitted TO bail, each on bond forS2.000. Thus the war in Louisiana" is ended temporarily at Rast.

Radical scheming and dishonesty Hay? led to a state of affairs in Arkansas which promises to result in worse anarchy than that prevailing in Louisiana. A clique of extreme Radicals, prominent and powerful, finding that ' the Governor Baxter) is not a willing tool^have form ed a bold and lawless "plan to oust him and put Smith, the Lieutenant Governor in his plane. Baxter, "backed by the cit izens of the bettor class.-is preparing bu si ly to resist this attempt to overthrow tho State government; and to this ertcUj ha* alreadv completely reorganized the S'ate forces. All the government build ings and public-offices are .strictly and heavily guarded, and Little Rock has thc appearance of a large garrisoit town in limo of war. In tho meantime Gov Baxter avows his determination to yield [.either to political scheming nor actual (orce, ile says he will resist this attempt by every means in his power to to the bitter end. These Radical villains ar? not gener ally very brave men, and we predict that Gov Baxter's spirited attitude will cause them to back down promptly. The Missionary Record.

The Judge sentenced him to two years in thc Penitentiary and to pay a fine of ?1000. Allen's counsel, in arrest of judg ment, moved tor a new trial ; but we learn from the Columbia Union, bf Mon day, that the Judge refused bail to Allen during' the interim between the session of tiie Circuit Court and the meeting of tho Supremo Court, to which Allen ap pealed, and the prisoner was ordered to be taken to the penitentiary. . Treasurer Cardo?), in his prosecution of this case deserves the thanks of Hie people. Allon has had a fair trial, able counsel to defend him ; and yet twelve men say ho is guilty of malfeasance in office. And now the violated law chums his punish ment; and the people have a right to expect that tho penalty imposed hythe presiding Judge will not bc too speedily tampered with by tho interposition of Executive clemency. If our laws are worth anything, they should be fully complied with by all, and whenjthey are openly and shamelessl}' violatod, - (as in this case,} the oll'endcr should be re quired to su Uer the penalty.

Atlanta Georgia. . We have never read a communicatioi .sr? full of literary impudence, egotisn and injustice. Ho begins his article b; attacking the entire literature of tb South. "The South," says he, "can no boast of possessing an influential litera ture or an organized Literary Guild." The fact is, that the South has overon hundred authors -who compare fajprabl; -with those of any country. Her litera ture is chaste, refined, elegant, and influ ential. One of tho chief reasons of thei great merit and success, isthatthey^hav not written for money, but from aljpv of their labor. Her periodicals have al ways been distinguished for-their purit; of style and honest devotion to principle The speeches "of har Statesmen, equs those of England's.greatest orators, an are greatly superior to those of States men of the North. The editors of the newspapers aud pe riodicals of the South, he asserts, ar,e rte fit to analyse or decide the intellects status of a work ; that in consequence c such gross ignorance and incompetent on tho part of Editors there aro " no deli nite standards of Caste," or "truthfii authoritative organs of critical opinion Td this sweeping assertion he makes bu one exception-the*Ballimore Sou?icr Magazine, edited by Wm Hand Rrowr ' He gravely states that " those thought 'have been suggested by the gushing an inconsiderate eulogies lately* outpoure by the Georgia press, for a considerabl portion of the Georgia press,) upon sue a performance as Clifford Troup." H tells us1 the only way to remedy thes gre?t evils is to form a "Literary Guild, to which tho literary productions of th South are to bo submitted Tor approv.i or rejection. From this charmed eire! he has excludedthcHon. A. TI. Stephens of the Atlanta Sun, Col. James Oardnei of the Augusta Constitutionalist, Co! John Forsyth**), of the Mobile Bef/istci the members of the Georgia pres??, nm in fact the intelligent press of the South We aro therefore led to conclirde tba this mutual admiration society is to b composed of the discriminating WHHan Hand Browne, and the modest Paul* I Hayna . Tho reason assigned for hisattack upot the Literature of the South, and upoi the Editors Qf Southern Periodicals ani Newspapers, is too superficial to be bo licved If Our memory serves us aright he published in 1872, a book styled "Le gendsmid Lyrics." It may bc the Edit ors of the South failed to appreciate tho.?' splendid " Legends" and soul-stirrim " Lyrics." If they came into the wor?e still-born, and have gravitated to dnstj book-shelves of second-class book stores i^ is no fault of the author of "Clifford Troup." ' And wo fear he makes he work* the medium of venting his loni pent-up spleen for an imaginary Hieran neglect. For the benefit Of those wh< have not read his beautiful poetnt, I Wil take the liberty of quoting a verso fron thc Poem, "Midnight:" " The Moon, a ghost of her sweet self, And wadiugthrough a watery cloud (Which wraps her lustre like a shroud Creeps up the gray, funereal sky, - Wearily] how wearily!" Wo have seen thc moon described a " palc-fae?d" "inconstant," "horned,' ' but never before as " a ghost ?f ho sweet self." We have never heard tha the moon is "sweet," nor that abo hat Iry.s, and is in tho habit of "wadhu through a watery cloud;" nor that th? moon at midnight could creep up a "gra\ sky." These aro lair specimens of th< original fancies of theRhymster Laureat* of tho Palmetto State. Tho criticjsiii oT" Willian Hand'Brown* is endorsed by Paul II. Hayne, and in serted in his communication. He char acterizes him as ono " in whoso discrimi nation, scholarship, and genius, above all in whose passionate patriotism, ant desire for Southern intellectual advance ment, our poople cannot but feel tin warmest confidence!" William Hand Browne says, he would be guilty of a suppression of the truth, if he were to give his readers to suppose thal he had read " Clifford Troup ;" ht read a few pages aiid glanced at thc rest I would suggest to this excessively con scientious critic, that in presuming tc .statu the merits of a book that he con fessedly had not read, his conclusion! are nothing more or less dian a sugges tion of what is false. This President of the Browne, Hayn? Guild, can not bestow time enough tc read a work that has already j'asset through live editions ; that has received the seal of approval from tho best intel lects North and South. Still he has darinji impudence enough to criticise and con demn it. This is what his friend Haync calls genius I suppose, and thus to treal a Southern author is a convincing proo of his desire for Southern intellectual Vulture. Docs ho b}r such unjustanc discourteous conduct hope to win and retain thc wann confidence of thc people Of the South? He may mislead a moon struck rhymstcr by such criticisms, bill sensible men ever}' where will simp]} write him down an impudent, egotistical pretender. In linc, I would add, for the future benefit of tho Browne, Hayne Guild, that plain hard common sense is one ol tho pre-r?quisites to just criticism, and if weare te judge them by their joinl productions, we must conclude that they do not possess this sine ana non. We shall not now discuss critically thc merits of " Clifford Troup." in our hum ble judgment il is abeautiful and attract ive Story; delineating Southern customs, manners, thoughts and actions in grace ful and chaste language, and in a' pure md unostentatious style It? well de serves the praise "it has received, and the great success it has achieved. CHILDE CHILDERS. For tho Advertiser. Mn EDITOR: Please allow me space to give a short account of Saturday's pro ceeding's through /our columns, as I know they will be interesting to every reader. In the first place, M^, Editor, it is well known fliut a public meeting was called in your last week's issue, the object in view being to take a vote tu remove John H. McDovitt, present County Treasurer. Well, about 12 o'clock thc meeting was called to order, and Mr. Limns Simmons elected Chairman. David Graham,* who doubtless was the prime mover of the call, stated the object of tho meeting, and then, without making any charge against McDovitt, eyilled on McDovitt to speak. McDevitt, of course, refused to address the meeting at this time,' and stated that he came there only to defend himself, and did not intend to speak until charges were made. Graham still refused to make his charges, and said that bis char ges had been made through tho papers, and ought to be known by overy man present. This statement did not suit tho voters, .for khe greater number of them can't read the papers, and hence they still lis tened with great anxioty for Mr. Gra ham to como out manly, in plain Eng lish, and show how much money Mc Devitt had taken from his people. One of Graham's " pusher up's," after seeing his nvun stake falling fhrough so fast, and hiding himself behind tho curtain of tho papers, said, in about twelve words, that " the law required the Treasurers r to make a monthly report to tho School 'Commissioners, and th it J. IT. McDevitt liad fail ed io do sb." After making this he too took his scat and said he wanle-kto hear fr.om the other side. W:?;t .' M!i,:?tried to-be IiPrt.il :i?'\rf. 'mt "si diV .. d were-the hearer* nt :u iso 'win liad taken their seats, that they would notjggree for \Vatt to,.waste the finir-of thc rnrotlug. Tho Chairman called for a vole as to whether Watt should continue, and it dec; :?.d in tho negative. After u?s, for about two hours, ther e was mi mo(-ti.i^. at all, Graham ?les a:'d many of t)i<' McRevillUes most rfiantc fully consi i ?ii? tao time of tito mr-ting in mos.' ti'-'' .island disorderly com hu-'. veheirfon- oaths and cursing, drawing |'pistols' and keives, giving each other blows, arresting each ot her, &c Order was finally restored, and the meeting was reorganized by electing Squire Andrews to the Chair. Lawrence Cain waa next ?died on He stated among other things, that it was not his intention to take sides with either party. He merely came to hoar-did not expect to bo heard. Thought that the difficulties exiling between Mr. Mc Devitt and Mr. Graham, were of personal origin, and that-they ought to settle their personal matters outside pf the party or ganization. After Cain concluded his speech," Mc DHvitt was called on to give an account' of his Stewardship- which he djd to the satisfaction^ every fair-minded* man prosent^He showed his receipts of set tlement with Treasurer Carduzo, aiul showed, also, 'f&at thelaw referred to by the " twelve words" man, was passed at thc last session ?of tho Legislature, and had been forwarded to him at a very re cent date, and (hat an opportunity had not as yet been afforded him to make his report since its reception This clear statement satisfied oven his enemies, and banco the charge went sprawling to thc ground. Mr. McDevitt spoke about ono hour, and his remarks were received with tumultuous-cheering, and had *a telling effect upon the.minds of many, who wore hitherto bitterly opposed to http as County Treasurer. The following Resolutions were then introduced : . Resolved, That this- meeting regards any attack upon Mr. J. H. McDevitt, ?it this time, by>dcsigning political aspi rants, as unfair to Mr. j. H. McDevitt, and unworthy the support of good men. Resolved, That this ii8cetin.!i is of the opinion that tho manner.!ii which some parties have sought to prejudice the pub lie against ber faithful servant, J. H.

Thc Railroad from Edgcflchi C. to Pine House, Agaiu. VMR. EDITOR,-I propose to shiv by facts and figures that it is prac:ic th!?' ?or tIto people of this community to build a Railroad from Edgclield C. IT. lo thc Pine House ; that it will be adapte i o o ??ants and necessities of the wli. muni';.", ti ia', .-.itch Railroad eau he builr, an. ? qiiippi-d, tuidputinopcralio:! ??. I .hin six mi innis from Ibis dato; thal the en tire casi of. sucli road, including 011 strii??i.lt?ii of road, 'Gus, Depot and all other expenses, need not exceed fl Cloon hundred dollars pat-?ile;^cr-?bont nine thousand dollars in all to pitt tho road in complete working onie:'; and that tho laid road will pay a dividend lo tho stockholders of not less than from '-."> to 83 per cent. I am aware that these several proposi tions ure well calen lided to startle many persons who dodie to*sec a Railroad built . o'.wceii tim pohits indicated, but are afraid in .-cst iheir money in it, he cause Uley are apprehendive that the money invested in it will n-'t pay divi dends. 1 ant not one ol' tho>c who bo lieve that a Railroad costing ton or twelve thousand dollars .per milo would pay here, because in tho first place this com munity ls not able to build such a road, nor would it be wiso or prudent to un dertake an enterprise requiring such a heavy outlay. Such a road is not re quired for the busiuess it would have to il >, and every dollar invested in a Rail road beyond thc amount actually neces sary to furnish easy, cheap and expedi tious transportation for the travel, pro duce and supplies of tho country would bc a wasteful expenditure of money, and would destroy thc value of the enter prise as an investment. Wo need only such a Railroad as is demanchid by tito wants and requirements of the commu nity, and such as is adapted to Ute means and resources of tho people who arc to build it. The amount of capital required to build and. equip a first class Railroad, is entirely beyond our means and resources, and the difficulties in thc way of com pleting such an undertaking arb insur mountable, and tho day is far distant when such on ontorpriso will be com pleted. Rut it occurs to your correspondent that it is practicable to bnild a Railroad 10 the Pino'House, which, when comple ted*, and equipped, ? ready for business, need not cost exceeding 81200 or 81"00 per mile, and will answer all the purposes of .th is community just as well as would 11 Railroad costing ten times that amount. Let UH now seo how all this can bo dono:* 1. The road will be a narrow gauge with a track three foot wide. 2 The entire superstructure will bo of good pine lumber. 3. The motive power will bo good mules or horses. Estimates of cont of mtcJi a Road.

"DAVID1 GRAHAM. May P7th, ?873. L ?&- If imports' are to be credited,--tho Vienna exhibition has not so far proved successful. The Viennese were? in too much or a hurry to empty the pockets of strangers, aud tho reports of thoir ex orbitant charges spread far and wide. The bills of fare at the hotels have been increasing from day to day, a dollar and a half being the latest charge for a tol erable breakfast,, and. twenty c?nts for getting hoots blacked. Americans will bc interested in the announcement that tho proprietor of a hotel built expressly for transatlantic visitors openly avows his intention to get all his money back during the season of the exhibition. Ex tortion seems to be the order of the day in Vienna, and after all it-may not have been all native corruption that infected I our commissioners. --?-- > The Galveston Times says that opinions differ very widely in regard to the injury to tho crops in Texas by th? late cold weather, and from altthatcan be gleaned from dir?ereuts?urcbs, the hftrrr. is neither extensive nor great. Tho truth is, such reports are modified by the individual 'case; ?br instance, if one man's crops are seriously injured, he sees only gen eral ruin ; if another's loss is slight, he is sure ITO serious damage win result. So modified by individual conditions, re ports are of little valuo, unless the injury is so great and so general as to justify a common statement from any ono district. A singular case is reported by an Iowa physician. A young man, aged 25 years, and living about five miles south of Hamburg, Ia., attempted to vaccinate himself. He cut a gash in his arra, took some virus from tho. arm of his sister, who had been vaccinated several days previous, and inserted it in the wound, covering tho whole with a piece of mois tened newspaper. No symptoms of the kine-pox appeared, butin a few days the wound became a running sore, and on the sixth day from the vaccination, the attending physician decided that morti fication had set in to such ari extent that thc only means of savinghis lifo would be by amputation ol tho arm. Tho ampft tution was accordingly performed, but too late to save the life of the patieat. " Tho precarious health of the Popo has given currency to much talk about the succession and the question has been re peatedly asked, will there be asuccessor? The prophecy of St,Malachy pronounced in the Pontificate of Colesti ll. in the 3rear 1143 has been recited. St. Malachy, Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland, died in IMS, leaving after him, it is said, an amazing prophecy in regard to the Popes. This prophecy, it has been held, contains the number of all the Pontiffs that were to rule the Church after Malnchy's time. The enumeration contains 101 Popes, and each of these Popes is expressed not by name, but by an epigrammatic Latin sentenco by which ho could bo at once personally distinguished. Tiic one hun dred and first Pope is described as " Crux de Cruce," and, by general accord, this designation fits. Pius IX. "Crux dc Cruce," means a cross from a cross, and this is understood to, signify crucial persecution from ft king, whose chief royal emblem is tho cross. Victor Em manuel is such a king. His crown is sunnoitntod by thc cross and ho certain ly luis indicted crucial sorrows cn Pius IX. Such is tho argument by winch St. Malachy's prophecy on his one hundred and first of thc Pontiffs is crowned with realization. Those prophociuu wore ll rat published in Rome in 1.7J3, and their editor, a Benedictine monkt named Ar ^?k>Vi-"VHun; aa \ u mr nccothV^.^- wBertrfld mt them. They are published in full in thc New York Herald. Thc Philadelphia Centennial. Imagine the Southern representatives there, and what an incongruous assem blage it would be. Oki Virginia comos first, and marches to Independence Hall. In lier hand she holds 'Jhe declaration, penned by her own i in mortal sun, and on her banner she beans the portrait of great Washington, whose sword made good the principles it announced. What a mean ingless pageant will the world esteem it, and hov,' empty and headless will she her self regard it? And then North Carolina appears upon the scene, bearing her Meck lenburg Declaration, surrounded with the names of the stern patriots who conceived it, and from whom it emanated. With what.mournful aspect will it be regarded, when not one principle it proclaims sur vives in purity among her people? And then poor South Carolina, bruised, dowu cast and humiliated, her proud palmetto withered before the blast of "Sorlhcrn wrong and oppression ! Her banner may wave to the breeze as proudly as ever, and the names ol* b&r Marions ?nd Sump ters shine as lustrous ? but what are ti eie things now to her? What hollowness, what emptiness, or even w<frse, would.ap pear in her participation in such a p? g? ant? So every Slate of thc South n.ay be called np, and each would occupy a similar attitude of humiliation' or hypocri cy in the presence of mankind. It is our earnest hope, then, that not one dollar of Southern.money will be con tributed to this swindling scheme of Yan kee sharpers, who, while trampling'to the dust, every tradition of constitutional right and freedom, and setting at naught even holy memory of thc fathers, seek to spec ulate at the cost of the whole country, upon a supposed sentiment of patriotism, in which a large portion of the country feel satisfied that it has no possible inter est.-Petersburg Appeal.
