Any man conscious that the United States Government is now national and~ consolidated, and not simply federative, cannot but take a most ab sorbing interest in the electioni of the next House of Representative. TJhec oennv.mSs for Congress and for State of ices in this State will be simultane ously conducted. Hence we think it impossible to separate State and Fed erul politics next fall. It will not be strenigthi, but weakness, for the June or ainy other anti-radical convention to attempt it. A clear, plain, out ipoken IVoderal policy, is demanded, by the necessities of the case, of all anti-radicals. Thme truth is, Federal polities is the politics. To declare no F"ederal policy, is to gain no strongthi, for it is a clear ease that the radioals and the administration will act and( vote on thme principle, that "he that is not with me, is against mec." The effort of the State press should then be, to feel and prepare for a Federal policy for the State suited to its people and to the times. The News undertakes a very bold m~.ortion, when it declare. that the June Convention will esoe Federal politics. But suppose that it will xinform to the wishes of the NVetas on lthis subject, and seem afraid of Fede ral polities. What an Insipid and wveak position that will be I How Jifferent from the Walker party of Virginia that declared sqluarely for Grant I We tell the Newse, any suchb non-committal is sure to be interpre bed as anti-admnhltration, as well as anti-radical, whereas at least a passive support of Grant Is plain, common sense, in South Carolina, at this time. Lastly : If the anti-radical press of South Carolina oan succeed in eon oealing its sympathies In Flederal poli tics next fall ; If It does not, on the contrary, take sides so very plainly that the veriest fool will be able to undeistand on which side In Federal polities the citizens' party now being attempted, but not yet fornhed, iI ranged ; then, human tstre will have changed completely, and the Charles. ton Ne itself will have become one of the dullest sheet, from being a very lively and interesin~ pa~ Our opinion, thbefeorereing px that the attamnt to alaaninaae anat*~ politics from thiefall canvass, if It bo Iffade, will fair ; and that it is ratLor the duty of a pitriotio press to con tribute towards the adoption of a policy at once cohiliatory and practi. cal, not only as to State, but as to Federal affairs-a policy that willfdir ly represent the State as it is, and which will be preparatory to representing it as it will be years hence. "No party," says the Richmond .Dipatd., 'ihas ever mado a deeper impression, in t'welve months, upon the politics of the conntry, than the Conservative party of Viiginiia." 8cea Michi. Ever since the Phonix and its pro gressive democracy swallowed, upon the 15th ult., "radicalism in its ex troino form" (so press Confereneo resolutions) it has been ailing, and making the inmt awful faces at its very quiet and I-caceable neighbor the Winnsboro NEWs, for advocating "radicalism in its milder phases."1 So great has bean the diiturbance at the hottom of its heart, that its thoughts have naturally recurred to Jonah and the trouble which that true prophet once caused to the whale. Now, then, we advise our contemporary to come to shore, and vomit like the orthodox fih of old, and thou, with a purified and more progressive (backward) Democracy, it can launch foith and be at sea once more. Ill-advised Use of the Word Mt&4dlcaio The word, "radical," has, in this State, and, indeed, in the Union, a distinctive meaning, which it is the interest and wisdom of all anti-radi cals to keep up. It is associated with excess, and with partisan injustice of various sorts. Yet two papers in this Stato have preferred to call us, who propose to act with the Conserva tive republicans only until a now Na tional Constitutional Party can be or ganized, asi a.Conservative RADICAL ; and we notice in our exchanges the same disposition outside of South Carolina to fasten the name of nRADICA. upon such as ourclves. If these at tempts succeed, the term will become indifferent, that is: either good or bad, according to the adjunct used with it, and the anti-radicals will have flung away the weapon that the very word "rudioi'l" is now capable of being in their bands. We will not, therefore, ask, is this use of small shot against men. who simply can't see the situation as they see it, altogether fair, but is it wise I We can only say this for ourselves, that we are afraid of no nick-name whatever, and that finding a disposition to class us a lhadical, withs calmi philosophy we have concluded not to kick against it, and accordingly, have commenced to use the word radical in a good sense, as observant readers must have noticed last week, though altogether against our own judgment as to the right use of words. lint when popu lar prejudice is appealed to against a sincere thinker, a wise mann, if at the same time a fearless one, will imme diately assume the attitude of perfect indifference ; and If being a sensitive maon, he feels a little scorn at the same time, common sense will soon enable him to repress Is. As Good as a Venaee Lawv" One of our planters complains that his neighbor's cattle prevent his being able to raise eats, and wishes to know if there is any chance of a law requir lag cattle to be fenced in. We think there is. WVhen every vestige of a fence hanm rotted out and disappeared, this County will petition for and ob tidn such a law, and we will have it, not when we need it, for we need it now, but when we cannot possibly do without it. Necessity, and net an Intelligent policy, will bring it. If however, planters would invaria bly shoot's cow and butcher it, upon its very first appearance In their field, use the beef, preserve the hide, and stand the damages in a lawsuit, they would lose less in the end. It would prove an adequate protection to their fields, aaing much, and juries would sustain thoem by moderate damages. Let this plan l-c agreed upon by gon oral consent. That Is the beat reme dy we can think of. But to shoot, and not kill and butcher and get the value of the cow, simply subbcots to heavy damages for malicious michief Thoecosts of such a suit, as things ate now managed, involving paying for wit. laesses, &o., will roach near two hun dred dollars. -It is better to 'kill the cow and4 use it, and tender Its value to tlie owner ;but if he pr~ftar a fair. suit,~ trust to the jurg'. Sofnething ought to be done. Ouw Legltature Itso intent aipon other things~thatI( Aegledts' this' waatt t,' afid doe. not OgantIes. Ia.& e.%drl s~n III er. out neighborhoods arrange the mat ter, then,amongst themselves. To shoot and use, seems to us about the beat plan, if adopted by general consent, and after consultation with the neigh borhood. When Does Manuftcturing Begin. Shallow' philosophers and unrefloot ing talkers do much to prevent the progress and development of the South, by frequently saying, "Oh I you nowspaper' mon advocate it, be. e tue you hav6 nothing better to talk about ; but the South has neither the labor nor the skill for manufacturing, and the sober common sense of our people acts upon that fact. We don't want manufactures here. We are an agrioultural people." Now what do those inen moan by manufacturing or manufactures 1 Agriculture is man. ufacturing, unless they would discard all agricultural machines, and go it with their fingers. A gin is a ma ohine, and ginning, manufacturing. A flour mill is a mnufactory. They mean, then, that we have neither the labor nor the skillfor certain kinds of manufacturing. That is a different and very true proposition. And if they will promise never to use the fal lacy again, we will permit them to attempt to deny that we have the la bor (hundreds of dependent women doing nothing) and the skill for spin ning as well as ginning cotton, and for weaving all coarse varieties of cloths. It is simply a fact, that we can spin cotton South, five cents cheaper on the pound than anywhere else in the world, and can weave all coarse oloths from seven to ten cents cheaper. To manufacture finer stuffs, swiss muslin, for example, we are not, it is true, at present prepared. On the borders of Fairfield and Chester, there is one of the finest wa ter powers in the South. Fifty thous and dollars would erect a factory that would pay its owners ten thousand dollars annually in profits. Cannot Fairfield and Chester start the enter prise 1 Christian Unity. It sconis to us almost absurd that there should be five protestant churches in Winnsboro. If the pro. testanti here would unite upon the apostles' and the Nicene orced, and build one large and handsome church, and employ one preacher and assist ant, how good and pleasant a thing it would be I They all profess to ex peot to unite in heaven, but somehow prefer disunion and weakness on the earth. Five congregations prefer to half-starve five preachers, rather than unite and give a comfortable support to two. Yet they expect the ministry to continue well-educated, eloquent, learned and efficient I To all out siders, and to many inside of the fold too, this thing begins to appear ab surd. Why not unit e in worship 1 And why not unite on the Apostles' and on the Nicenai crced, the first con taining tihe summary of the historical facts of christianity, and the second, of their (orthodox Interpretation. Now, of course, we cannot believe that Christ ever promised or Intended an external unity of his churcb. Its external unity is simply a matter of high expediency, and is to be viewed especially with reference to the sup port of the ministry. If Christ ever promised and prayed for an external unity, then clearly he was a false prophet and imposter, for such a uni ty hmaa never existed, except in the noddles of these who insist upon 'apostolio sucsso, not in its true, but in a perverted signification. Heo promised and prayed for a spiritual union, "one faith, one Lord, one Bap tism," (of the Spirit, tmost evidently) or as the creed has it, "the Holhy Cath olic Church." Good Osat of EvlI. Our army officers, especially the gradluates of West Point, have been doing yeoman's service to the South, since the war, as the pioneers of ma terial enterprise and development. WVo are really glad that they stand but little chance, for the present, of political promotion, and have no de sire to return to the United States service, even were the Yankee. not too mean a people to permit it. The presence of men, who Invariably, when commanding *gnal forces, fairly wvhipped the fight, and frequently did so, when largely outnumbered, would be unpleasant and distateful to the loyal officers of the artny. And the Sonth needs those men, to build her railroad., to manage her banks.andl joint.stook compaies, to open her mnines, and to educate her daughsen. and her sons. To take a single example, on Batuw. day last,. we visited~ wi4 Gen. Alex. ander, the Oottoa 'Oeed Oil Cake Manufactory in Columbia. He has *9 .liand at least ope shoussd tog o( Al pressed out by his machinery supeg rior to any olive oil now sold, and exC poets to furnish it at $2 a gallon. Hle showed us three varieties of cot ton seed oil and cotton need oil cake )f two kinds, one kind made by a mewly patented chemical method, I rhich extracts the oil completely. The boiler of this establishment is a ouriosity. It consists of an arrange ment of very many gun barrels con mooted with each other, and if it ever bursts, it Is only possible for one of I these gun-barrels to burst, and empty all the steam in tho boiler down into the furnace, putting out the fire. This boiler is destined, in his opinion and in ours, to supersede every other I patent. Rut the most interesting statement of all re can make is this, that from every hushel of his cotton seed General Alexander's lint ma- t ohine takes off three pounds of very good lint, before the seed is conveyed, y by a revolving elevator, to the hulling apparatus. A specimen of this lint may be seen at the store of Capt. I. N. Withers, with whom we have left it for exhibition. It is probably worth 15 cents a pound.

Tus ELECTIoN noTE:sTED. - A number of property-holding and tax- 1 pying citizens of Columbia have en. tered a formal protost against the do 3laration of the late election for t Mayor and Aldermen, on account of many illegalities, ohief among which t are the following: t That persons residing in the terri tory recently added to the city have been allowed to vote, though only forty days resident in the oity limits, g instead of sixty. That t't managers refused to define the limits of the several wards, thus preventing many from votin~g. That many person. were warned by r the managers that they could not reg- c ister without perjury, while others in i like circumstancies were allowed tor vote. That while withholding information necessary to persona who desired to e register correctly, the managers we- : fused to them permission to swear I according to their knoivledgo and be lief. That numbers of voters were re ceived from plantations several mniles distant. That the managers were intimi-t dated end controlled in the discharge of their duty. That no legal notice of timeand and p'lace was given. That the Act authorizing the elec tion is itself unconstitutional. On those grounds the protestants pray that the matter shall be investi gated at a time to be appointed by the acting Council. The Citizens' Party, composed of the people of the soil, have invited to their ranks all, of whatever race or party, who are in favor of good gov ernment. They have acknowledged in the mostecomplete and solemnn man ner, the politioal and social rights of all, whether as to suffrage or offie. All they ask is a government under which we can lire, and whets rights and liberty will be secure. So far as the State is concerned, it is net a question of Republican or Democratic. A Northern and Repub lican journal has declared "there is no dispute among observers that the Legislature of South Carolina, which has just adjourned, was one of the most corrupt assemblages that ever legisla ted for a State." It well add..: "There is -need enough that South Carolina should get a new Govern. I maent." And this new Government we desire to obtain, not upon party< grounds, but as a matter of necessity and life, for the general welfare and the future of .th* 'Nommonwalth.

The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says that "merchants continue to complain of the backwardness of spring trade not one particular branob, but all. The western dealers are buying spar ingly, while southern orders, as a gen eral tWing, are said to be much under tha liberal mark which the profitable cotton crop seemed to warrant. Many are inclined to attribute the existing stagnation to the uncertainty which attaches to the future as the result of the various financial measures pend ing in Congress; but whatever the cause, there can be no gainsaying the effect, which is visible on every side."

EnITuiR : As the Spring of the yore is at hand, I bav got up the fol lowin lines ter pleese the fokos what likes them, tha rus thusly: How butift:l is Spring timo, When the birds all chuse ther mates, And bild ther nests where tha kan rest., In these rekonstrueted States. Oh I aint it raly butiful, When the buds begin to pop, And fhe little hopper grasses Thru the woads, begin ter hop. When the blossums all kums out so fine. Fur the gals and -boys ter smell, Oh I who is thare upon, this earth That kan ever start to tell, Of the buties of the Spring time, Which is the best time of them all, Fur it betes the Summer all ter smash, And the Winter it makes fall, Of all the seasuus of the yere. The Spring's the timte fur me, Fur then I'm happy as thue birds, Upun the Simmun tree Let, uthers sing thmer prases, Of the Summer's sultry dayse. But fur me nna mine the Spring's too fine, Ter think uv singing prase. Of any uther sesun that kum within the yere, And fur the futur you shall here ml vois for Spring so dere. LanR.
