A Northern exchange thus com
ments on the recent conviction of
Ion. C. C. Bowen, lately represent
ing the Republican party of South
Carolina in the halls of Cn tjgress :
A stranger, whose knowledge of
our politics was confined to buch in
formation as mniht be gleaned from
Republican papers, would naturally
infer that the Hion. Mr. Bowen is a
secessionist," a "rebel," and a disloy.
allist." H11e would not dream that he
belonged to the party of "great moral
ideas," and was a worthy and by not
means singular leader of that party
in South Caralina. But such is the
melancholy fact. lie is very like the
Rev. Mr. Whittemore, the cadetship
broker, and Republican member of
Congress. Ile differs very little
from the three prominentmembers of
that party recently sent to the State
Prison for three years, for s ufling the
ballot-boxes in that unhappy State.
lIe dilfers only in the character of
some of his vices, and that very little,
front the members of the Repub.ican
Legislature of Scuih Carolina who
bale plundered that Siate of millions
drw in from the estates of honest and
vi tuous citizens. To be sure, Bowen
can read and write, whereas a ma.
jority of the Republicans in the Legis
lature of SouthCarolina cannot. In
this be has the advantage of the rank
and file, And yet, it is for the ex
press purpose of keeping just such
men in power at the South, and
through them controlling the elec
tions, that the legislation of Congress
has bcbeh shaped. It is for this pur-,
pose that the President of the United
States has been armed with the pow
er of s8biting the inilitary forces of
the United States into the South.
Such is the.bitter, rttmorseless treat

Advertlsing as a Science.
Some men have a genius for it.
Others are mere clods, and plod along
on the beaten track of an idea which
has been worn into ruts years gone by.
The men of genius, enterprise, and
uouragzc, are naturally the pioneers in
new systems of advertising, as they
lre in every other pursuit in life. It
is remarkable that new ideas in ad
vertising havo kept pace with new
ideas in other thiiigs. One great rea
son for this, doubtless, is the facility
which the Press affords to the adver
uiser for reaching tel attention of the
public. But then, again, if it
were not for the money expended in
advertising. there would be but com.
paratively few pa pern published. The
advertising patronage of a newspaper
is the pabulum upon whdi.l.. the puba
lisher depends to support, the bxpen
