F.B. MUJttl?AV, F*?iU*F&> Dr. B'.own'a prediction in tho last can vass, ?nat if the Democrats carried the State, the Republicans would leave the State like rata running from a buming barn, is HOM? being fulfilled. Chamber lain, Patterson, Whittcmore, Hogo, Montgomery, Lowe, and numerous lesser lights, have bid farewell to our clime and returned to their old haunts, whorft they no doubt astonish the natives hy their immensely changed financial condition. It is stated in the press dispatches that the President will nppuint Cowgill, a member of tho late Florida returning board, Marshal of Dakota. The citbsns of that Territory protest that they do not desire such accomplished officials, but wc presume tho President feels called upon to repay tho favors t atended to him by thi. akilfull accountant. It is a fair illus tration of his Excellency's Southern poll, cy which may be dnlsncd as the po'icy of giving o carpet-bagger au office wherever it is possible in the South,and of protect ing Republicans from criminal prosecu tion ns far as possible. The elections :.n France will come off on the lfith and 30th of September next, at which time n new Chamber of Depu ties will be elected, mid tho administra tion of McMahon passed upon by the people. If thc vote be favorable and a Chamber of Deputies friendly to the administration be elected, tho Dc Broglie '.ministry will remain, but if the Repub licans prevail the mjdatry will bo reor ganized, and tho causo of republican government upheld. Thc contest will be close and fierce throughout France, a? t' e magnitude of thc crisis is fully rcol Itcd. it is a fight by the ballot for Hclf government against n centralization, tho direct object of which is thc destruction of tho Republic and the establishment of a monarchy in its stead. John J. Patterson, tho capet-bag United States Senator from South Carolina, is summering in Pennsylvania, whero ho will probably reside in future, as ho has recently discovered that tho climate of of this State is too hot entirely for a gen tleman of his raising. Ho does not, how ever, object to making public the views of a Senator from South Carolina, on im portant subjects, and hence, ho submits to an interview upon tho subject of Chamberlain's attack on the President. Ho thinks Chamberlain was too hasty iu his criticism of tho President, for it is not yet certain what the Presidents course will he. Patterson thinks tho Republican party is dead, and for onco wc agree with him. We nico agree with him in thinking that the President has not thrown overboard tho Radical crow ; nnd heneo, Southorn Democrats ahnnld not stultify themselves by giving him any support further than is necessary to secure particular measures that Republi cans may be divided upon, thereby giv ing tho Democratic Senators the balan?a of power. Tho Indian nprfalc* iu Idaho and Ore gon has been steadily increasing for thr. post two weeks, and now it has assumed Buch formidable proportions as to bo re garded by tho administration at Wash ington aa equally serious as any which hos occurred during late years. The country In which it ia being carried on is ' mountainous and sparcoly settled, and tho Indians nro waging tho war of exter minaron for which their nature and ac quaintance., with the country peculiarly fits tuarn. Settlements deserted to avoid tho ferocity of tho rod skins, and in wmc coses whole families hnvo been sL'Ught* ored and their housca and flocks pillaged - by tho savages. On tho 10th inst,, a party of thirty-ono Chinamen, travelling down tho Clear Water River, wore sur prised by Joseph, ono of the Indian chiefs and his followers, who for a more pastime and recreation slew all but one of them, end ho barely escaped. Several battles on a small order have been fought around and near Mount Idaho between the Indians and the United States troops, in which tho Indians have been driven fromthoir positions, but tho number of j killed and wounded havo been about equal on both aides. Tho government is showing a decided lack of determination lu this war, and fa very much to bo cen sured for allowing tho lives and property of Americas citizens to remain at the mercy of inhuman savages sc long. Th Cabinet, lt is announced, hos determined ; . ???to every proper means to end this outbreak and prevent tho recurrence of j such conflicts in $ho future This fa a wise- dotcrmination, and should ,bo at once and thoroughly carried into effect. These Indian wars are far too numerous, and our government fa too weak and len ient in suppressing them. Sonntor Conkling, of New York, it fa said, wiU refuse to endorse President Hayes' Southern Policy. Thia is not to be wondered et, for wo could scarcely ex pect him to support an administration with Evarts as Secretary of State. Sena tor Conkling fa one of the men in this country wno iiu innen juai. ?nun greatness. With magnificent abilities .nnd. ho.^miblo instincts, ha lacks thc thoroughness of principio in his nature which fa necessary to make his other qUalitlrr: ?how forth.

Our Charleston contemporaries, UH Newt and Courier and the Journal oj Coinmeroe, have shown their influence over the management of tho South Caro lina Railroad by securing tho adoptior nf the now schedule, and now tho up country expects them to assist us in se fiiri.iOr pnotn otwl OJmt*.>l.l<. freight r.iii*s -o-r-~ j-. ? -.?B"? .?.?.o Wo aro satisfied that if they will dovoU half tho zeal to securing low freight which they have expended in accom plishing the changed schedule, we wil soon bo relieved of the tyrannical am and short sighted discrimiruitiou ii charges to which wc have boen nubjectet for several years past by the South Caro lina Railroad Company. The new eched uio between Charleston and the mouu tains ii; a step in the right direction fo that city, but it will do it very little goo< ide/: freights are also reduced. Ou merchants believe thal tho business mei of Charleston could control this matter i they . jirr-d. to do so, and SH long as a dis crimination exists by which Grqenvill and Spartanburg have preference ahowi them over points nearer to Charleston so long may our frienda in that city loo! for a largo portion of thc trade of tho in tenor to aeck other marketa. Th freights ought to bo reduced by the vol uutary action of the railroad, and if it i too contracted in its policy to mako th reduction the force of public opinion and tho pressure of business inter?s! ought to endeavor to causo a proper re duction ; and if this fails then it is tit duty of our Legislature to compel th authorities of this road to ceaao a din crimination which is injurious to thc in tcrcBts of tho road, to the city of Charles ton and to the people of our State. W hope tho press of thc State will cry ou against the unjust policy which oppresse us, and especially wc invoke tho aid o our Charleston confettiporurica in th effort lo secure justice and equality fo all localities at thc banda of a corpora tion created by our State for tho publi good.

It ia moro than possible th: ; Gov.

Tho fact th officials of a State havo committed thc ; heinous offences does not alter tho ats lof the Cluj ono particle, nulesa it is J make li. graver and more dangerous as I publie oramplo. Tho fact that Govern Nicholls opposes tho indictment does n amount to anything. Ho haa no mc right to interfcro than a private citiz until a conviction and sentence ia rc derod, and then he can only do so granting a pardon, which ii is alleged I some persons he will assuredly do if t members of this board arc convict? Wo cannot believe ho has over authi ! bred such a statement, for ho must km that such a course on his part wot probably causo hin impeachment, a would certainly render him an object detestation to all honest men. If Wc and Anderson are guilty, he has no rl< to say that tho laws shall not beexecul against them, for all law-abiding citisu of both parties would prefer to havo si crimes pi thed for tho security of < government in future. The trial of this interesting case * come Off this fiji, and its result will bi the crreateat importance to P?ea?r? Hayes.

The question is one of pure political economy, for whatever benofita?tbo land owner is ad vantageous to laborers, and whatever in jures tho former, depreciates the value of tho labor of the latter. The remunera HOP of labor d?pendu upon its produc tiveness and upon capital and demand. Unproductive labor adds nothing to the capital of a country, and therefore tcr.ds to depreciate ?ts price. Now apply these well known principles to the question of the fence law, and it will at once be seen that the interests of the laud owner and laborer are identical ; that whatever in creases the productiveness of labor adds to the capital of the couutry, stimulates industry, increase* the demand for labor, and, as a necessary sequence, enhances its value. Now let it bc remembered that all labor expended in erecting und keeping up the fencing of the Cou ty it unproductive, and therefore natl.rally tends to diminish the wages 0/ thc laborer. The land owner doc? not pay for labor which is non-productive, for that which bring? him nothing, but for that which adds to his capital, and ju-* in proportion as labor adds to his caph: 1 is he able and willing to pay for it. If all the non-nroductive Inbor of this County expended In keeping up the fences was exerted in adding to the in crease of the productions, that increase would bo very great, and constitute lurge ly to the yearly increase of thc capital of thc County, which would bo of as much ' ?7 ?fit to tho laborer as to the capitalist. Tho result of fencing up the stock would be to add largely ' ?? thc area put In cultivation, and enable thc culti ator of tho soil to select the best lauds for planting. The worn out spots now cul tivated because enclosed, and which are not remunerative to labor, would bo per mitted to rest and tho rich ores culti vated, thus amply repaying the laborer for his toil, and thc labor uow spent on fencing which produces nothing and for which tho laborer gets nothing, would be exerted to increase the productiveness of tho country, and thereby add to the value and pi Icc of labor. Thc land owner pays for productive labor; he ought not mid cannot afford to pay for that which ?H non-productive. The end of nil industry is production, and all labor which docs not produce something valuable is utterly worthless. If tho laborer, therefore, would Heek his own in terest, bc would seek to make his labor productive, and labor directed to thc cul tivation of the soil, upon which the very existence of the human family depends, is certainly much more valuable than that exerted in felling timber and de stroying forests to erect fences. HAYES ASD THE MOUTH. South are advocating a support of the President's so-called Southern policy, upon the ground that we are under obli gations to him for past favors, and be cause he is now making a stand against certain men in the Republican party, which entitles him to support. Thc ef forts of these papers is cunningly devised, and bear upon their face the appearance of great plausibility, but when investiga ted it proves to be nothing more nor less thnu a coalition with ono wing of the Republican party for the purpose contin uing ;t in power. This movement in the United States is a repetici?n of what hos taken place in South Carolina, and our recent oxporienco ought to be sufficient to convince every ono that no coalition with a dishonest party ever proves ad vantageous to honest men.

Well, General Grant has come and ?one, been lionised, dined and wined tc his hcart'd content, and beyond, anothoi link has been forged in tho chain which hind* together the two great branches ol thc Anglo-Saxon race-I believe that'i the proper way of putting it-but, as al ways happens on such occasions, there it c disagreeable under-curr?nt left behind of tales told out o? ?choo? which I sup pose will be sure to find their way to thc light cf day sooner or later. Perhaps, therefore, there is uo objec tion to my telling you that people wen not universally delighted hero with tin ex-President's ways, and that they wen pretty universally disgusted with th< ways of ?orne of the people who mad? social capital for themselves ont of lui visit or belonged to his suite. In th? first place, bia silence at most of thc din ners which ho attended was something apalling. On two occasions he literally never spoke one word from the soup t< the salad. At another dinner he almosl broke up the company by objecting t< allow the Duke ol' Cainhrioge to take precedence of him-this, doubtless, ot tho innvigstion of Pierrepout. Worst of all the stories current, how ever, is that in the Princess of Wales drawing room at Marlborough House li? pulled out un enormous cigar and wiu going to light it, when somebody stopp?e up nud prevented him.

Tho "tricks and the manners" of th? ex-President, however, probably wouk not have nnuoyed people so much had i not been for tho insufferable way ii which ho was compelled to drag tin minister and tho whole Pierrepont con nection about with him wherever b< went. He was incensed nt this himself and openly expressed his satisfaction a getting out of Cavendish square.
