answer any question that might be propounded. Here, John Meade, colored representative from this county, asked, "Where is the State debt?" This evoked mingled applause ? \ and hisses, and during the confusion the speaker took his seat. Major B. F. Briggs next took the stand. Like those who had preceded him, the Major was unexpectedly called upon, and was unprepared to deliver a speech, as he came there with ho intention of addressing the assemblage. He, however, was proud of being a member of the lower branch of the Legislature, and feared not to give an account of his stewardship to his constituents. In no instance had be been engaged in any of the m frauds which disgraced much of the legisla tion, but to the contrary had opposed all measures which had the appearance of opening the door to fraud, and especially did he oppose every thing in the shape of levying taxes. He denounced the license law and several other acts as being oppressive to the people. Leaving this part of the subject, and declining to discuss national affairs, he would advert to matters nearer- home. He then, somewhat in the strain of Mr. O'Connell, cautioned his hearers against voting for any but the .tried and-true.., He hoped all would be awake. He thought there was danger of a Democrat being nominated for Senator, and this was no time to swap horses. Certainly, if the party should swap him (the speaker) for a Democrat they would make a very bad trade. He regretted the extraordinary spectacle of certain persons?members of the party?closeted with military officers, forming a ring for the defeat of true Republicans; and the action of the Chairman of the Republican County Executive Committee, by transcending his legitimate powers as such officer, caused him to shudder. His closing words were an anDeal to his hearers to stand firm " ?JT * ~ and not go out of the party for candidates. In response to numerous and repeated calls, Mr. Poinier next came forward. As is well known, this gentleman holds the position of United States Commissioner and is from another State. His remarks were listened to respectfully so long as he confined himself to national questions; but so soon as he took up the subject of our State legislation and the administration of affairs generally in South Carolina, it seemed to be the signal for noisy demonstrations by leading men in the party, who no doubt regard him as a dangerous rival; and to such an extent was the speaker annoyed by the confusion, and by questions, many of which were really impertinent, that he desisted in his attempt to speak, and on quitting the stand, the crowd commenced to disperse. At this juncture J. Hanibal White (colored representative from this county) endeavored to recall the crowd, but succeeded in retaining only a small number, mostly of colored men, whom he addressed till a late hour, confining his remarks to a vindication of his public acts since he has been a member of the Legislature. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enqnirer. letter from Pennsylvania. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 1st, 1872. Soon after closing my last letter to the Enquirer, from the much disturbed capital of North Carolina, I returned to enjoy, for a brief season agaiu, the cool breezes and delightful climate of Central Pennsylvania. And right here a word to you who are parching up on the hot sand of South Carolina, sighiug for a cool breeze but getting it not, just pack your carpet bag and come to the interior of Pennsylvania. Keep away from the """ big cities, but go to some little interior village or town of five hundred inhabitants, where you can live well at a reasonable figure and do pretty much as you please. Then, when the month of August begins to wane, return again to dear South Carolina and take thedelicious winter, for a South Carolina winter is delicious, say what you will. So much for climate; now we will step to politics, which is the next hottest thing. When I left Raleigh, the whole State was convulsed bv a campaign such as she had never before experienced. To-day the election takes place, and although I write in blissful ignorance of what may be the result, I hazard a guess that the Democrats will get the better of it. Possibly they may lose the Governor, but they will carry the Legislature and a majority of the Congressmen. You have little idea with what deep anxiety the people here are "waiting for the verdict" from North Carolina. The Democrats affirm that if their party gets the advantage in that ?? State, Pennsylvania will swing into position and most assuredly go for Buckalew in October, and Greeley in November. In such an event, Horace Greeley will be the next President as true as daylight breaks on the 4th of March. The political aspect here is very encouraging to the Greeley men. They are united, firm and determined, while the Radicals are torn into two factions by the Cameron-Forney quarrel. These factions are as hostile to each other as are the Radicals and Democrats of South Carolina; and so far, all attempts to speak peace to the combatants or pour oil on the troubled waters have failed. If half these exasperated partisans tell about one another is true, a majority of them deserve to spend some few years studying the internal arrangements of the Pennsylvania penitentiary. PITTSBURG. This city of workshops and foundries is the ' i i-i i . : . *.. T ! uusyiesi, uniutwcsi, iiuisiusi uity 1 was ever 111. A thick pall of smoke from its manufactories ^ hangs over it all the time, shutting out the sun for the greater part of the day. The smoke and soot and dust, has driven | the more wealthy of the inhabitants to seek j homes in the country, and consequently Pitts- j burg has "spread out" for some twenty miles | in all directions; but especially along the lines of the numerous railroads. To see some of these beautiful residences and their surroundings, as well as to get a few breaths of the pure, cool, delicious country air, I yesterday went out, some twelve or fifteen miles on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad. About every mile there was a station, and around each station are residences and grounds that are delightfully beautiful. The road runs along the Ohio river for a considerable distance, and the residences of the wealthy Pittsburgers overlook the river ^ and the railroad. More beautiful sites could hardly be selected, and as for the improvements upon them?well, we all know what money will do, and Pittsburg is a wealthy city. I ascended an elevation where I could overlook considerable of the surrounding landscape, and the view amply repaid the pains. Before me was the beautiful Ohio, sparkling in the sunlight, and upon each side of it were hundreds of residences of all specimens of architecture and arrangement. Along the bank of the river the railroad runs, and a great road it is, with its double track and twenty-six passenger trains daily. Don't be startled, dear ^ reader, for it is the truth; twenty-six passenger trains pass over the road every day for a I considerable distance down the river, I know not how far. And of freight trains there is no end. Indeed, while I remained upon the elevation overlooking the river and the road, the track was not clear fifteen minutes at a time. The trains run by one another at full speed, and it startles a nervous person to see them apparently about to dash into and through each other. Unless you have visited the interior of Pennsylvania, you can have little idea of the noise and bustle and business that everywhere prevails. Pittsburg itself is a vast workshop, and the smaller towns take after it as much as within them lies. They all try to be small Pittsburgs, and most of them succeed. I sometimes think, when passing through the State and noticing the prodigious improve ments, that Pennsylvania will eventually outrank New York in point of wealth, and take her place at the head of the States. At all events, the iron, coal and timber interests here are sending the State forward in a career of prosperity that is unequaled. I don't remember what was the increase of wealth in this State from 1860 to 1870, but it was several hundreds of millions of dollars. One advantage, in fact the advantage that the North has over the South, is in her diversified industries. Here every boy, man and girl able and willing to work, can, without difficulty, get employment at good wages. It is not so at the South. Suppose half a dozen young men in Yorkville should want employment. Could they get it without leaving their homes ? I fear not. It would depend something on what sort of employment they considered themselves best fitted for; but I imagine it would be difficult to obtain good onlnwAo r?/\ tYtaffai* what. V- I 9ILUUUU1J3 auu oaiua iuo, n\j iiluvbw ii.imh i ocation they might choose. But . here the manufacturing interests and diversified industries afford employment of some sort to every willing hand. In what is falsely termed the higher rounds, such as clerkships and so on, there may be more applicants than openings, but as a general thing, every boy, girl and man in Pennsylvania can get work and respectable wages. I wish it was so in every State of the Uni-1 on, and until it is, the South will play second fiddle to the North, buying here what she ought to make at home, and thus keeping her section drained of currency. Is money now scarce in Yorkville? It is, as you all know by sad experience. Why is it scarce ? Watch a ten or a twenty or a fifty dollar bill, and you will soon see what becomes of it. The merchant takes it for his wares, and away it goes up North for more wares, and that is the last you see of it. The balance of trade is against you. More of this hereafter. Nemo. THE "GIBSON" INJUNCTION CASE. The arguments in this case, before Judge Willard, were concluded last week, but as yet no decision has been announced. The i Columbia correspondent of the Charleston ' New furnishes the following outline of the case : The case of T. J. & H. M. Gibson vs. Parker is ended. There is no doubt that the petition of the plaintiffs will be sustained without qualification. The points are: First, an injunction is asked to restrain the treasurer fmm r?avinor ?nv mere certificates for mileaere .....& -..J 0 aiid per diem of members; because he has already gone far beyond the appropriation made, the appropriation being for the deficit of 1870-71, 8230,000, and of 1871-72, 8350,000, making 8580,000, while the treasurer has paid by his own showing 8935,423 77, being a payment beyond the appropriation of 8355,423 77. It is asked that this thing be stopped. Second, an injunction is asked that the treasurer be restrained from paying any more money towards public printing, inasmuch as the treasurer has already paid, according to his own showing, 8113,374 63 towards the object, when not one dollar has been legally appropriated therefor. It is asked that this leakage be stopped. Third, an injunction is asked to restrain the treasurer from paying anything towards the printing of the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth volumes of the Statutes at Large under the joint resolution of 29th November, 1871, passed over the veto of the Governor, because there has been no lawful appropriation therefor, and it is against the constitution to delegate powers to any two men of the State to make a contract, have the work done, and then appropriate out of the treasury just what such two men may choose to pay. It has . * .1 . .1 1 *11 A IP been estimated tnat tnis jou win cost, 11 permitted to go on, 8300,000. It is asked that this fraud be stopped. Fourth, an injunction is asked that the treasurer be restrained from borrowing any more money upon his notes as authorized by the act of the 4th of March, 1872, and the joint resolution of the 12th of March, 1872, because both act and resolution were unconstitutional, having never been passed by a two-thirds vote, and being directly in violation of the seventh and fourteenth sections of the ninth act of the Constitution of the State, directing, in express terras, how money only can be borrowed. Fifth, an injunction is asked to restrain the treasurer from paying any of the notes already given for money borrowed upon notes given by h:.m amounting, according to his own showing, to S399,312.72, because there have been no appropriations made to pay the same, and they cannot be paid out of any money now or hereafter to come into the treasurer's hands, unless there be a special appropriation therefor. It will accomplish a great deal to stop the career of the treasurer in the above particulars, and will save the State in the future a vast amount of money. Messrs. Pope and Haskell show, from Parker's own exhibits and from information gathered from the official records, that Parker has paid out over two million five hundred thousand dollars for which there were no appropriations at all during his term of office. This year all the taxes have been applied to legisl^ve expenses, and the appropriations, amounting to upwards of four hundred thousand dollars, are left without anything to meet them. GENERAL LONGSTREET FOR GREELEY. As a significant political event, the deseri tion of General Longstreet from the Grant party is noted among the most recent defections. Longstreet, it will be remembered, was one of the first after the close of the war to accept the new regime and acknowledge the altered state of affairs. In 18G7 he was appointed to office in New Orleans by General Grant, and until within a few weeks has continued in the service of the government. On the 28th of May a letter appeared with his signature, announcing his resignation of the position of surveyor of customs in New Orleans. He detailed at length his reasons for taking the step, but said no word of breaking with General Grant. Since then, however, to the astonishment of many of his friends, : and to the consternation of the administration . party, he has come out strongly for Greeley and renounced all allegiance to Grant. On his arrival in New York a few days ago, General Longstreet was interviewed by a Herald reporter, and, in answer to a question concerning his declaration for Grant a few months since, said : "I was approached by two prominent supI porters of Grant's and my opinion was asked relative to his reelection. I expressed myself favorable to it, and my name was used as a i supporter of the administration; but I did not give any very cordial adhesion to it as I was anxiously awaiting the result of the Cincinnati Convention, which I cordially favored. The result entirely satisfied me, and I had no hesitation in declaring for Mr. Greeley, be[ cause I believed it to be my duty and my ' right." "Did he meet your views as a candidate?" "He did, and he was the only man brought before the Cincinnati Convention whom I j would be willing to support. If dny other j candidate had been put up I would have re; mained silent, but Mr. Greeley possesses all the qualities which are necessary to insure success. He is amiable^and forgiving, and his popularity with the Southern people is very I great.; The entire South, with the exception of one, or perhaps two States, will go for him, and give him stronger majorities than any | other candidate for President has received for years." "Do you think he will carry your own State?" '< , ^ "Think! I am sure he will carry it. I I know Louisiana throughout and .the disposi tion of its people, and I am confident there is j j a spirit aroused that it will be impossible to j i contend with. The Greeley movement. is j : stroug and is increasing in streugth every day, while Grant is more certainly losing, and by j the time November comes there will be no I chance for the latter. The spirit of the South | is completely aroused, and the Liberal movej ment has taken strong hold upon the hearts j of the people. It is the result of honesty and j independence against nepotism, corruption and military despotism, and it cannot fail to be successful." . "But the negro ivote will .be against you." "There you are mistaken. Pinchback is on our side ; and let me tell you that he possesses i the coolest brains and theshrewdest faculties I of any public man in the State. I consider him one of the ablest politicians I have ever met, and I know that the men of his own color will flock to the standard he raises. Warmoth and he are acting in thorough accord, and their united influence it will be impossible to overthrow. If I know anything of public affairs I can say that Louisiana is certainly lost to Grant, and all the other states, except South Carolina, and probably Arkansas." General Longstreet says that if his health permits him he will take an active part in the campaign ; but he has been poorly lately, and is afraid to expose himself too much; Tiik Lunatic Asylum.?The Lunatic Asylum we are informed is again in extremis. It will be remembered that about three months since, on account of the squandering of the appropriation for its support by the "Ring," it was brought to that point which necessitated its immediate relief or the turning loose the unfortunate inmates to the care of the public. At the crisis one of our public spirited firms proposed to supply subsistence until some more permanent arrangement could be made, and up to this time the burden of the supply of groceries has beeu wholly borne by them. Yesterday they were compelled to notify Dr. Eusor thatthey could not longer carry the burden. Dr. Eusor applied to Gov. Scott, Treasurer Parker and other authorities to know if they could not aid in rescuing the inmates from the imminent want to which they would be exposed in a day or two, but was informed by them that they had no money or other equivalent which would avail and that he would have to look elsewhere for help. The institution now has within its walls about four hundred inmates, three-fourths of whom are beneficiaries, of which latter class one-third are negroes. At the last session of the Legislature $80,000?a liberal sum?was appropriated for its support; but not one dollar has been paid over to the Asylum for that purpose, and this institution has been carried on by the private credit of a few benevolent individuals, while the money which should have been applied to that purpose has been used by Scott, Parker, Moses, and others, for Legislative expenses, i. e., bribery, electioneering, rioting and wantoness.? Columbia Carolianian, lsf instant. 4 + A "Righteous Judge."?Probably no country in the world can present more farcical cases of judicial administration than is to be found in the Trial Justice Courts of this State. Although the office of Trial Justice is one that requires as much intelligence, discretion, impartiality and integrity, for the proper performance of its duties as any other office in the State government, not one out of every six of the many now filling this important position in this State, possesses one of the qualifications so necessary. Some of them can barely write their own names, and a large number cannot read the laws they are appointed to administer, and to have properly executed. A case occurred in this county a few days ago which pointedly illustrates the ignorance and preiudice of a large majority of these astute officials: A colored woman appeared before a colored Trial Justice and complained that a white man had committed an assault and battery upon her, in that he cursed and struck her. A warrant was forthwith issued and the white man arraigned before his sable majesty. It was proved at the trial, by every witness, that he did not strike her. But there was no doubt that he did use cuss words. Notwithstanding the testimony that no | "battery" had been committed, the white man was convicted of assault and battery; but the cream of the joke lies in the fact that he was fined 810 and costs for slander, in calling the woman bad names. The white man called for an appeal, which his sable majesty indignantly refused, and threatened to imprison him if the money was not immediately paid. There was, therefore, no alternative left but to pay about 816. On receipt of the money the 810 fine was immediately handed over to the prosecutrix. If this is not sharp practice to induce lawsuits, we don't know what is. And this is one out of hundreds of similar cases of injustice to which the white people are subjected in this section.?

Dear Friends and Co u ntrymen?Having been entrusted with the benevolent work of providing a home for the Orphans, and other equally unfortunate children ot South Carolina, we thus make an earnest appeal for help in this great work. The Palmetto Orphan Home was organized last April, and is now progressing with encouraging prospects. The Board of Trustees have adopted a Constitution and By-Laws which deune the nature, design and mode of operation of this Institution. Its direct management is to be by a local board consisting of nine persons, in the city of Columbia, which Board is to bo subject to the direction of a general Board consisting of two persons, from each county in the State, which is to be called to meet annually in Columbia, at such places as the local Board may appoint. In the choice of persons to act on these Boards and of the officers ofthe Institution, no partiality is to be allowed on account of the religions sect to which persons belong; but all appointments are to be made on the broad principles of humanity and charity. The Constitution does not limit the ages at which the children shall be received ; but leaves that at the discretion of the Board, who are to decide from the nature of each case as described in the application. The Board are desirous of purchasing suitable and valuable property, now for sale at low figures, for the location of the Home. We are, therefore, confident that our appeal to the generous people of South Carolina will at once bring many liberal donations and pledges to effect the permanent'establishment ofthe Palmetto Orphan Home, which will be the best monument to the memory of our dead we could possibly rear in our State. The Board have appointed Tilman R. Gaines, General Agent to organize Aid-Committees and to raise funds for the Home. And the Board will take pleasure in acknowledging all amounts paid to him or sent directly to us at Co'umbia. Donations may be made in money, provisions, clothing and anything that can be made useful. All applications for entering children must be made to the Board, Address, Dr. J. W.
