We copy the following able article ' from.the New York Sun, showing up I the Aiministrution, or Acioial Re- t publican, party in its true ovlor.. Its t reasoning is logical. and oonvincing to t ovb'ty mind tiot blinfded by prejudice. 0 The statements mado can be relid upon., for the Sun is regarded as one d of the purest representatives of Lib. A eralism in our whole country : "Th Administration party of this E country, as now managed, is emphuti- I cally a party of falso pretences. It professes to be Ropublican, but is so neither in a party senso nor in the i broader mcauing of the term. It e m11kc the only test of iNelity to the b party a blind and unreasoning fealty to 1 an individual who was never a Repub- P lican until lie was taken up by the organization as a windidate for office ; its policy tends directly to the sub version of Republican principles and the adoption in their stead of a ser- a vile obedience to the rule of one man, who is aliko regardloss of the obliga tions of the Constitution aud the laws, when they stand in the way of a his ambitious designs or conflict with his prtjudices. h "But of all the falsE pretences un- t under whiob the people are urged to , vote the existing Administration a new lease of power, none is more glar. ingly absurd than the one so persist- b ontly urged, that (Irant is making re marhable progress in paying off the pubdlie d..bt. In the first place, the P'resident hans nothing to do with the finanes a if the country, except to'op. peso economical reforms. That mat ter is in the bands of the Secretary of the Treasury and Congress, who levy taxes and dirpose of the proceeds phile draut; thik horse, smokes, and engages in scheunes for depleting the Treasury for:tbe benefit of his cronies and swarm of wor'thless relations. TIis obsequious newspaper organs speak as if io was paying off the dlebtL out of his own pocket, when in fact he hi does not even pay ani income tax. Still, it is urged that to Grant shoulda be n'seribed all the credit arising from the Rinancial policy of the Govern-a ment.' "Very well. Give Grant all the cred it, itf hiis supporters insist upon it, but before the pooplo make up theirg minds to reelect him on the gt-oumnd dfa his prudent management of the na tion'a tuoney, It would be well to ex.. amine into the matter a little, and e.o what that management really at.nounts.

House of Representa. 3 ives has refused to concur with the ienate in extending the surpension of bas corpus. Under tihe law known s the enforpement Act, the 'suapsn- j ion was to end with the present sea ion of Congrese, but the G,ant man . a gers wanted to keep the South under F Ailitary rule until the 4th March iext, in order to secure the Southern oto for their tyrannical chief. By he aid of Liberal Republicans, the j )emocrats were enabled to defeat b his diabolical scheme, and thus bwart the plotting of the Radicals to ubordinato civil authority to the oilitary. The people of this bayonet-ridden a tate will rejoice at hearing that they 11 ro so soon to be released from the ower of Radical satraps. In less a I han a week, that landmark of liber y, habins corpus, will be restored to hem, and they once more enjoy their , atural rights. A great bhield will r e thr(wn between them and Grant's N espotismn, and the laws of the coun ry enforced without the aid of a :relying soldiery. No more can U. .

I In our pretent political troubles, nd in that btate of uncertaility and , neasiness which now surrounds us, he thing most to bo desired among I ur people is harmony, and unity of h ction. They must act together, and f ri all public affaits consult, not in be- . alf of individual interests, but for lie whole mass of the people. The a reat barrier to the pro.sperity of our ti auntry since the war has consisted a s much in differences and selfish ickerings amongst our people, as in olitical grievances. The want o( armony has brought upon us manya roes, and entailed much unlocked fn lisery. It has very perceptibly op, qi rated against our recuperation fromi a be sad results of the late war, and ~ as been in fact the cause of many xisfortunes that might have been 0 verted. Whilst divided among r. emselves, our people can have no ren " nable hope of ever regaining theira rmer prosperily, or even attaining o a condition of partial happiness.- c 'his fact, for such- it is, has never r cen'properly appreciated. Neither P C as the truth of it been actually ro. lized. We lay before our peoplei to,day T a earnest plea for harmony. We are ri Ii suffering for 'want of It, uneon. ti Miously to some porhaps. We are P o selfish, and think too little of the oneral welfare of the country. We re constantly pulling against each IP ther, and allowing ourselves to differ6 a i matters of great import, when we iould combine against the common nemy, and work together for his over. p brow. We must agree to sink indi. si idal differenes, and struggle hand ir and for that most desirable. end, the P escue of our land from the Radical lenderers and despoilers. A Young Iliri Burned to Death. Weo lears from theo Savannah Ad. ertiser that a most sad a deplorable ceident occurred in that city on* .ednesday night last, by which Mliss " octitia Ei. Mtiller, aged about fifteen' 'era,. a mnoet intercating and ao- a omplishedi young lady, danuhter of ~ dra. Horace bMillar, lost her life.

Th icialr ing in thio State are 'perfetly well aware that their op. portunities for plundeting the people " will come to an end in Ootpber, and they are evidently anxious to make w the nest ot the time that remains to them. Our advioes from Columbia at hint pretty plai.nly that a huge speou. lation ofsome kind is afoot, and an d official letter of Governor Scott, prin ted in the Now York Evoning Post a- of- Monday last, would seem to con. firm the news that the Ring are once id more seeking to ploy the little game of fast and loose with the State credit which they have found so pleasant and s profitable in the past. The first move in this game, we take It, is the ly reply to an inquiry from a Now York banking house. The Governor's private secretary writes : 10 "[ am directed by his Excellenoy, Governor Robert K. Scott, to ao knowledge the receipt of yours of 15th instant, and to state in reply s that the Legislature at its last session failed to make any piovision for the n payment of the interedt on the bonds " due in Jely. The interest, therefore cannot be paid until July, 1873. y The Governor deeply regrets this state a of affairs,-bat the fault is not his, it resting with the Legislature altogeth. d er." - Now the Legislature, as everybody knows, has sins enough of its own to a answer for voithout being saddled in r, this "way with the responsibility >- for dlhe speculative trickery of the Ring. Nobody knows better than g Governor S ott that the Legisla . ture did "make 'provision for the pay. ment of the interest on the bonds." Indeed, the whole drift of the State I Legislation latt winter was to take d care of the preseit and prospective interest of the bond holder,, altogeth h er regardless of the right and wishes of the tax-payers. The validity of the whole of the outstanding issues n of bonds was confirmed by an Act specially framed for the purpose, and so far from neglecting to appropriate a funds for the payment of the interest, the General Assembly, instead of ma. d king an appropriation, which would a necessarily have to encounttr the chancas of renewal at euch succeeding session, made a standing provision for the colleotien and payment of the it interest, which remains in force " tintil all the bohda nie redeemed. it The fourih section of "An Act rela. ,e ting to the Bondq of the State of South Carolina," (approved March 1 13, 1872,) requires that "an annual If tax, in addition to all other taxes, e t-hall be levied upon the property of a the State sifficient to pay the interest bn the bonds named or provided for d by this act until the principal of said bonds shall come due." This is ex. * egplicit enough. It is an ample pro. provisi on for the payment of all in. terest on the dcbt. Now,the tax for g paymontof interest., provided for in the law we have quoted, must be r levied by November 15 and collected >r by Jaunary 15. What authority, F then, has Governor Scott for saying e that no interest can be paid until July, 1873 ? The interest due in January and July, 1872, was expected n to be puid from th - proceeds of the ', license law and of the sales of delin ,, qun lands this month. If tile emoney is not applied, the blame must y be laid somewhere else than on the d woolly heads of our legIslators. Long before the let of July next ample funds will have been wrung from the a1 property-hplders of South Caro I- ima to meet every just claim -of her creditors. We have seen that no0 legal requirement is lacking for r the payment of ageh claims. If they , be not paid, let it be distinctly under o stood by the public creditors that c they have nobody else to thank for LL the shameful delay than this slippery o Governor Scott and the corrupt Ring -t of which he is the central figure. 1mCdcr.

Bloth got drunk, the latter so deeply that he had to be hauled hiomie in a cart. Stephen dis played a pistol, which was recognized eas the property of Colonel Wishart at .the time of lus death. Stephen owned that it was his, and boasted 0 that he had killed him and took the pistol from his person. Dur ing theO e afternoon he became furious, and e commenced firing at random about "~ the steore. lIe sent one ball through '' the wall, which lodged in p sack of a corn on which a negro was sitting in 'r the store, a.nd put another charge tlhrou)gh the rq of of the piazza.

An unfortunate shboting Affdi. On Tu*lay t g Io put young townstu M harl e Vo, shot and wounded, fatally, a negro man by the nate of Jake Lindsay, better known, however, as Jake Moss, who died on the next day. Mr. Chase lives with his widowed grand mother, Mrs. Samuel Brooks, conducting her farminginterest and affairs generally. Jake Lindsay was hired by them, and was, under Mr. Chase, a sort of fore. "ian of the crop. That the farming operation were to be -absolutely or dered and guided by Mr. Chase, was, we are informed, a part of the con tract or agreement. On the morning of the difioulty, it seems that Mr. Chase ordered the hands into a certain field, but upon going to look after things, found 'them with Jake, in another. And this by Jake's direction. Mr. C. command ed them into another field. The negro objected, refused, and exhibited much wrath and obstinacy. We would not really be, or appear, in the fain. test degree prejudiced in th-s account but from all we . havo been able to learn, and from reliable sources, too, the colored man behaved 'on this oo easion with unbridled insoleoo and blind and unreasoning obstinacy. The upshot was, that Lindsay quitted the field, hurried to the house, return. ed with his loaded gun, and resumed the altercation. And upon this, Mr. Chase, much excited and exasperated, shot him. As we go to press, an inquest is being held on the body of Lindsay. Mr. Chase, having left his home, has not been arrested. But he will, of his own accord, we are assured, re.. turn after the present excitement has somewhat subsided, and surrender himself to the proper officers of the law.-Edgefld Adrerfiser.

It may be neces sary to use such men's evidence, but for God's sake get done with thomn as soon as possible.
