To tlie Editor of (lie Medium : In the lasj two numbers of your paper there are several articles on tho subject of tho census aud as it seems plain that you and your friends wish to make a political aud sectional issuo out of it to tho injury of this city, I foci coustrainod to put tho facts boforc the public which you havo not done. You deuounce tho failuro of the General Assembly to provide for tho taking of tho census this year as a groat iniquity and charge that the uiouibers from Charleston 'put themselves on record as denying a fair representation to the balance of the State.' You Further say that 'tho result is that the old and obnoxious Parish system is perpetuated' and upou this unjust, and I think, unfounded chargo, you endeavor to stir up sectional fcoling and jealousy using this language: 'If Charleston, moribund, inert and dead as she is, must dominate this State by unfair and unequal representation let it be known at once.' If Charleston were, in fact, what you represent her to be, it would be very discreditable nod wholly inconceivable that such a poor croaturc should impose her will upon the wholo State but logical consistency is scarcely to be expected of ono whose imagination or passiou has so far dominated his judgment, that recent and notorious facts arc for gotten. [ will cull them to your mind : 1st. It is not true ia fact that tho members (rooi Charleston in the llouse opposed the taking of the ccusus?the converse is true for with tboexcoption of myself every Charleston member voted for Mr. Lee's bill. When that Hill, huviug passed tho Houso, was defeated in the Senate nod according to our usages could not be brought in agaio, Mr. Lee, its author, h id its main proviss ions engrafted on the appropriation bill on its third reading. Any one familiar with tho mode of doing business in the Houso knows that this afforded au excellent opportunity for the Charleston members to oppose effectively this measure by judirectmethods and parliamentary tactics. They did not avail thouisclves of it ; on tho con. _ 11 ? i' . i . ?< 1 " wiutjr an ui iucui uxucpt myscii, voieu lor the appropriation. Again when the appropriation bill catuc back from the Senate with the census clause struck out, the Charleston members votoJ with the majority of the House against concurring in the Senate amendments. Again they voted in the samo way when they sustained tho re* port of tho Conforouec committee who res ported nou-conourrcuco in the Senato amendments. IIow can you say in face of these (acts, which you cannot dispute, that tho 'members from Charleston put themselves on record as denying a fair representation to the balanco of tho Stato' when the record shows tho contrary. You will probably shift your ground now and charco this 'iniquity,' so called, upou the Senators froui Charleston and not upon the 'members' as at first. 2d. I think it is true that both Senators from Charleston voted against Mr. Lee's census bill, as did a majority of tho Senate. I know that they voted against tho attempt to force tho same measure through on the appropriation bill. I scarcely sec how any Senator having duo rospect to the dignity and prerogative of that body could have done otherwise. Here was a measure of publ'.o interest, involving a largo expenditure of public money which they had deliberately considered und deliberately re innLnl An nttom rvf ! ???*1 ? * ~ jvvvvm. uvvvuipw Id IUUUU IU carry it through by extra constitutional, if uot unconstitutional methods or to put it moat mildly, by an usual proooduro and one of bad example a praotico bo pernicious and ao liable to abuse that both the Senate and House of Represent tativea of the United States have adopted rules prohibiting the engrafting of any legislation whatsoever upon appropriation bills. In my judgmont the Seoato was clearly in its right in rejecting the bill and tho appropriation. It was impertinent then, and aa it is now, to inquire into the motives which controlled tho action of the a u.ik:.- IL.I u ii uwuuiu. iiuvmu^ wuui jfuu cuuiu say would raise a douot in my mind as to the purity, patriotism and wisdom of the motives which influcnped Colcor, Izlar, Munro aod othors like them who voted against this measure. Nobody respects moro than ( do the ability and iudustry and attention to thoir duties which give tho Senators from Charleston a just measure of influence in that body but they w ould be tho first to disclaim that opoa a question like this, they could, 01 did control tho aotion of tho Senate. At the taking of the oensus could in no waj affect thoir tenure, as the members of th< House, from Charleston, had voted for th< bill, and as their home papor{ the Neta ami l/ouricr, had favored it aud as ther was no o'lier known expression of publi sentiment showing that there was any feel ing in Charleston on tho subject, is it no fair to assume that the Charleston Senator: opposed tho bill on public grounds, whicl influenced the majority of tho Seuato Those who go beneath tho surface to seel for mean and selfish motives to account fo conduct which is readily explicable by con sidcrations of n public nature, at least givi rise to a suspicion as to the character ol tho influences which habitually contro their own nctiou. Now it seems to me tha' it would be bild effrontery to charge tin Charleston Senators with any impropci motives or conduct in this matter and 1 must do you the justice to say that yoi have not yet dono so but have directed your firo at the 'members from Charlestou meaning of course the members of the House. Let us return to them. 3d. It is truo that after the coufercucc Committee of the two Houses failed to agree upon the two qucstious at issue, to wit: the free tuition clause and ihe census clause, and the former being a Senate measure aud the latter being a house measure, the mat' tor came before tho IIousc iu a new aspect. It was no longer a question whether the IIousc wished the census to bo taken. On that it bad already pronounced its judgment unequivocally and, as the Charleston members were iu full accord with the scutimcut of the whole IIousc but when another question was presented to wit: Shall the House force tho Senate to accept its views on this subject by defeating the appropriation bill? conservative men from every quarter of the State felt that the IIousc should uot go to (hat extreme length. You must remember that the Senate was I contending for a principle also, and ouc of far greater consequence thau tho expediency of propriety of a census, aud that was tho right of each branch of the General Assombly to dctormiuc for itself every publio question which may arise. This is a principle underlying aud necessary to harmonious operation of the very system of nnr (FnTurninnnt. ilcnlf nn.l it.i , ~ j ubiitiig uuuiu oot without etutifyiQj: itself allmv !?.? fr?-dom pfatgjonJo ho iuvadod. The result, thereforoor a dead-lock would have been that the appropriation bill would have beou defeated, there would have been coo?fusion and uncertainty everywhere, the interest on tho public debt would have bcec in default with a consequent injury to tlu public credit. Au extra session would have been called, with tho attendant expenso and inconvenience, and upon its assembling wo would have met precisely the saute difficulty, assuming that the Senators are governed by the saute motive and feel ing, that ordinarily govern freemen. The action of tho House in this emergency w a! in my humble judgment highly creditabh to its common sense and in the best iuterosl of tho State at largo, all the worse ere dita ble too, in that this wise aud moderat< courso was taken in spito of the frantic outcry of some foolish pcoplo that such ; course was sacrificing its power and dignity Whatever may be the praise or dispraise however belonging to this episode the ?har< to be apportioned to the members fron Charleston is not groat, because they bat very little part in it. They claim no cred it and oro just I) amenable to no criticism oxccpt that which falls to the majority o tho House with which they v.Med. Hut, Robert, all this seems to me like i ehattcr of ancicut history and I can hardl; conccivo of its boiug n matter of any in terest to people generally. A few politi ciaus may attempt to make porno capita out of it but that is of little consequence You will remember that n constitutions amendment has been passed and is to b submitted to tho peoplo next full whereb; the United States census of 1S90 may hi adapted as tho basis of apportionment. I the people adopt it the representation wil be apportioned thereby and tho great ex pense of the taking of tho census will b avoided. If tho groat and wealthy State c New York can omit to take a census uu dor somewhat similar circumstonocs surcl it canuot be very fur wrong for us to avoii any extra expeuscs in a year like this whci everything iu South Carolina is unusuall depressed. Aro you so impatient to hav , Charleston shorn of her strength that yo cannot wait a fow yoars? Charleston pay about one-fifth of the taxes, she has lei than ore-tonth of the representative Wherein does tho use or abuse the pow< i which you say she is not rightfully entitle tof You will not protend that she uses t for the purposo of getting public offices < , publio money in any shape, lor sho rcceiv r less than her duo proportion of eitbc t Whatever influence t>he has in the legisi r tore is due rslherto the quality than tl 5 quantity of her rcprcsen tatives and so loi 5 as these representatives are men of intel i gcnce, industry and experience it seems e me that the Statu will lose quite as much c as she will if their number is diminished. I- I have, since your piper was received, t taken a has y glance at the legislation of s tho past few years and I fail to find any1 thing therein which the most inveterate . can point to as cvideueo that Charleston t has used that g/eat power which you atr tribute to her, for apy sectional advantage - or auy selfish end.

A ftlooxsniNKU s Revenue.?Cartersvillc, Ga, January 'Jd.?The war between tho revcuue officers ami moonshiners that has been in progress a lung tiuio was this morning the occasion of one of the most sensation al events in the history of the State. At an early hour, before daylight this morning, a terrible explosion shook every house in the town. People rushed out of their houses and flocked in the direction from which tho uoise had came. It was soon ascertained that United States Commissioner A iron C Alms's residcuce was the scene of tho explosion. Wheu the house was reached by the excited populace it was found to bo lotto ring on its foundations, and scie nns c ml 1 be heard for yards away. Tho gathering crowd nisi cd into tho shattered dwuli'.ng an 1 found Mr. Collins and his wife terribly frightened, but not fatally injured. Mrs. Collins was in couvulsions and was carried to a residence near by. Since the miction set in both are seriously ill. Tho entire town was soon aroused and investiifati on made. Ti was found that the Collins residence had been blown up witn a dynamite cartridge, which had beeu piac :d oti the fro tit porch, four feet from the wall next to the head of iho bod upou which Mr. and Mrs. Collins were sleeping. The fuse to the cartridge was three feet long, giving the dynamiters implo time to get away before the explosion jccurrcd. The house was smashed to itoms, the front porch blown several feet iway from the main building, and all the dangles were blown off tho roof. A large tolo was blown iu the floor. JOvory lock n the house was jarred to pieces and tho loors forced open. The detectives have dready located tho perpetrators of the :rime, the leader of whom is the notorious L'obo Jackson, one of the most daring moonihiners iu Georgia. Jackson was recent, y tried for violation of tho revenue laws jeloro Commissioner Collins. At the time he trial occurred Jackson swore revenge igaiost Collius and as he left tho Courtnoin: 'Ynn wait vnn will 1i.?ir tlm 111S...1 ..?I J? 4/l1"^ figer roar.'

Jackson was implicated iu the recent attempt to blow up the house of the Rev. Sam Jones, the celebrated revivalist, because he preached against whiskoy making and selling. The officers wont to arrest Jackson, but he fled. A posse with bloodhounds arc now on his trail and ho will be captured to night. The people here say they will lynch him and his accomplices as soon as they are caught. Governor McDanicl has offered a reward of 8200, and Collector Crenshaw has wiicd Commissioner Miller, at Washington, the details, with the request that the Government offer $500 reward. The cxcitemcot extends throughout the entire county. Many people thought the explosion was an onrthnuake. It was distinctly heard *i* miles away.

The royal her mil listened for a few minutes and then set up a most dismal howling. He jumped ou the window si 11 and began hurling volumes of uiusic on tho musicians, who fled in dismay. IIis futy continued for hours, aud he threw out every one of Wagner's scores, and the famous Lohengrin suit of armor iu which ho used to be rowed about ou the lake. This is looked on as conclusive of his iusanity, since Wagner used to bo his idol.

A fire in a dormitory nearly caused th< destruction of the Cluflin University 01 Friday. An Enoi.isii Colony.? Elberton, (?a., January II).?On the Carolina side, just opposite Elbert, in Abbeville County, on the Savannah llivcr, lives Col. James Edward Calhoun, a near descendant of the renowned John C-, a man of great wealth, age, vitality and eeceutricity of habit. Ou the list of wealthy Carolinians he is. 'IIis cattle graze upon a thousand hills,' and thousands of acres lying aloug the river ou both sides are described in deeds and aro under titles belonging to bun. High up iu the nincti s his age is, and yet, he is as straight of form and nearly as ruddy of cheek today as when, sixty and odd {years ago, he climbed the masts of the United States naval skips. Tho latch.string of Col. Jauies Edward Calhoun's door does not hang upon lie outside free to comers and goers. Few have gained admittance and sat around his board, and those who havo conic away to tell wonderful stories of his fascinating speech and courtly entertainment. Hut for all that neighbors don't know of the iuiKr life of this notable and retiring man, nothing prevents them from having their say, and not one but that could make a happy disposition of his many broad aud untitled acres, were they theirs to have. Some have even penetrated his philanthropy i and suggested ho.? great aud good n thing it would be for him to build a railroad across the Savannah to Elberton , and one, 1 uiorc enterprising than the rest, has dared | to enter his very affairs of heart and to announce iu the public prints tha*. ere this he i was to have led to the connubial alter a i fair window ou the Georgia side. But Col. i Calhoun disposes of his own affairs and as i to the disposition of his lands has struck I upon his method, as the sequel will show, the Constitution's correspondent has it i from good and presumably correct^authority. i Among the few who have the patronage? i and may be the only one who has the en? tire confidence?of Col. Calhoun is Mr. William Oswald Dun.las. a foreigner, a man of extensive travel and varied culture, a gentleman and a neighboring planter. The confidence which Col. t'a'.'.uau imposes in Mr! William Oswald Dundas is attested by aL. v - A j ? - neighboring towns as the Colonels business agcut, but not more so than his friendship was when, on last Christmas nioro, Mr. Dundas awoko to fiud in his ample house a check for S3,000 and a deed to several hundred acres of river lands. It now comes about that, as a higher mark of esteem, Mr. Dundas is noon to embark for England, fully equipped and commissioned to negotiate with foreign capitalists and to bring back with him a colony of foreigners ot settel Col. Calhoun's lands. This proposed innovation is hopefully looked upon by farmers cf this section. Got a With ijy a Lie.?A Wilkcsbarro special says: About four years ago Stanlius Krosski came from Poland and found work in a colliery. He was industrious and saved a considerable part of his earnings. Ho left his sweetheart, Lena Scbotski, in the old country, proansiug her that as soon as ho could make a home here ho would send for her. In September last Krosski found liiuisclt in possession ot Jgauu, ami lie foreI warded 885 to his sweethart, telling her to | sail on the first steamer. Tho prospective bride was overcome with joy, and at once began preparations to leave for America. She sailed on December 2-lth, landed in New York on last Saturday, and reached Wilkesbarrc on Tuesday. Her lover went to the depot every day for several days, expecting to meet his sweetheart. He confided his secret to only one person, a fellow Polander named Michael Zobatski. The latter said he had courted a girl in the same village, but she re!used to reciprocate his love, as she was engaged to another. Tho fact was that Zobatski had been a suitor for the hand of his friend's betrothed, but keep tho matter a secretOn Tuesday Zobatski went to the depot iu this city and there met Krosski's sweetheart. They recognized each ether. The girl asked for her lover, when tho villian told her that he had been killed iu the great mine accident at Nauticoke. The poor girl was overcome with grief. Zobatski took her to bis boarding house, and after i sho had recovered her composure, told her i to make the best of it and marry hiui. Alone i in a etraoge country, the girl thought she had no alternative and consented to marry 5 tho man sho had rejected. The marriage , took place on Friday, and after the cere f mony who should join the party but ) Kros.ski himself. IIo was thunderstruck > and so was tho bride. t A desperate fight ensured, in which the groom was worsted. The youDg wife sayi she nover will live with the scoundrel who 9 thus imposod on her.

Push on Bkino Pushed.?As wo have said repeatedly, there is nothing in the world like energy. In order to sueceeJ, it is required that the aim in view he pursued with unwavering determination. It is the persistent effort to advance wh ich we commonly designate l?y the term jmsh. A business man without push might as well shut up shop and save his money, for sooner or later he will be swamped Ly the irresistible onward rush of progress. Quite difiercnt, however, from this faculty of push, exerted ii^a particular direction for individual advancement, is tho being pushed by others. lie who is awake to his own interests, who is possessed of push, needs uo pushing from others, and, on the other hand, no amount of pushing will benefit the weak and the laggard. Constant spurring will only induce stubbornness and sulkincss, and we all know how tho mule will act if urged against his will. We believe that ho who does not feel that diligence and earnestness and a constant striving for improvement (be it in his own business or in that of another, if he is not, his own master) will pay best in tho end cannot be brought to it by compulsion. Compulsion, force, driving, moreover, is unworthy of the spirit of our ago. Let him who will not move his arms and legs to keep himself afloat go to tho bottom, the sooner the better.
