The importance of the great political con? test npon which wo have now fairly entered renderB_.tho-dissemination among the people of sound political views and ar-rjtrra-.e and ear? ly information of the progress and incidents of the canvass, a matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who has any stake in the welfare of these Southern States, should give an active, personal and un? flagging support to the candidates of the National Democracy-SEYMOUB and Biara. A triumph of the Radicals will result in the utter desolation and nun of the South, and the placing of an ignorant and brutal race io all positions and places of honor and trust, to the exclusion of the white race. The govern? ment must be wrested from the thieves and plunderers who now have control of it, and power placed in the hands of a party pledged to give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government fur white men, and not for negroes. It is only necessary that thc peo? ple should be thoroughly informed to accom? plish this, and THE NEWS will be an addiroble means of diffusing this information.

[FEB ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH] EBITISH OPINION OF TEX TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA. LONDON, September 2.-i he London Times to-day devotes its leading columns to an analy? sis of the treaty recently- concluded by the United States! with the Emperor of China, through the embassy now visiting America. The [Times says England is more interested in China than any other power. Her commerce with that country is larger, and since the treaty of Pekin her relations with 'its government have been-more friendly.- She assisted the imperial^anUioririea ia putting down the XaeD ing wbelfion. England is' the po ver'for China to employ as a medium for revising her treaties with other nations, bnt this treaty with the United States,'-aiming to restore tho old exclusivo policy, has been rightly entrust? ed to the manipulations of foreign counsellors who advise what is impossible-the restoration of a retrograde syst?m.

The article con? cludes : "We are bound to say, with convic? tion, that there is more underneath these ne? gotiations than appears on the Burface. ? They bear distinct traces of foreign inspir?t io J. It is oar belief that this mission did not origi? nate with the Chinese government. The idea of enlisting Ur. Burlingame as a recruit for the furthering of Chinese ends, so far lom being' spontaneous, emanated from a foreign brain, and wai suggested by the departure from China of the American min ister, which was growing near at the time the plan was formed. No doubt; the?proposition waa joyfully welcomed by the ministers of the Chinese Em? peror, who, having one object at heart, gave one instruction to its ambassadors, viz : 'Stop all progress-as for the rest carle blanche say and do what you please.' This treaty, concocted by the embassy on their passage from China to San francisco, is the result now before us." LONDON, September 4_The Standard com? bats the views entertained by the Times on the Chinese treaty, and says that this treaty puts eyes in the Chinese wau, and opens the way for Western civilization in China.

Ho says that his posse wpre captured, taken to a ruin, robbed, and their papers destroyed. They only escaped with the;r lives because they were special and not regular officers.

AUGUSTA, September 4.-There was a large Democratic mass meeting in Waynesboro' yes? terday, which was addressed by Generals Toomba and Wright and other speakers. The Democrats in the State are enthusiastic. It is believed that tbo programme is to get all objectionable persons ont o? tho Legislature, and that the expulsion will not be confined to the negro members, bnt will be extended to many whites who, it is charged, are not elig? ble. The Democrat) are very bitter against both scalawags and carpet-baggers, and are determined to unseat all against whom char? ges can be proved. It io now evident that the Dsmocrats can do what they please in the Legislature, as the Radicals are powerless in tho lower house, and cannot hold their own in the Senate. The negro Eradley is out as an independent candidate for Congress. It is believed that he will be elected if he rons. The Republicans are working hard. Colored Democratic clubs are bein? organized in vari? ous parts of the State. lu the ci ties and towns the negroes are strong Radicals, but in the country they are controlled by the white Dem? ocrats.

THE BLUE BUDGE BATLBOOD-THE PBOP08ED BILL-WHAT IT WILL GIVE-THE CODIFICATION OF THE LAWS-THE BABNWELL BEPUBLICAN8 THE 8ANTDC DISrUBBANCE-BEPOBT Of THE STATE CONSTABLE. [SPECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE DAILY NEWS.] COLUMBIA, September 4.-In the House a bill was reported to Rrant the aid of the State to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company. It author? izes the guarantee by the State of the issue of one million dollars of bonds under tho act of 1854, without regard to the provisos therein contained. Three hundred thousand dollars of this amount is to be applied to the payment of the present bonded debt ct the company. The bill also authorizes an additional guaran? tee by the State of bonds to the amount of three million dollars, none of which bonds are to be uded unless Congress or capitalists ad? vance three million dollars in currency on the faith of the said bonds. All tho property and franchises of Uta Blue Ridge Railroad are mort? gaged to secure the State gniranicu. A resolution to adjourn on the 15th instant., was indefinitely postponed. A loog and violent discussion took place on the bill for the codification of tho statute laws of the State. Corbin, Rutland and Whipper were named as the Commissioners. DeLirgo de? nounced the commissioners as incompetent, and Baid th > State had better pay them twenty thousand dollars to let the work alone, than four thousand to undertake it. In the Senate, Leslie in a bitter speech, ex? posed the Barnwell Republicans who had re? quested him to resign. The Republican sena? tors are very much mortified at the exposure and the degradation of their party. The following ie the report mado by Mr. Hubbard, fie State Constable, in regard to the recent affray at Santuc, iu Union District : Having been rrdored by you to Union Coun? ty to investigate tho riot of tho 2Cth of Au? gust, and the alleged riotous conduct of a por? tion of the oitizens of said county, and the cause, or causes, from which tho difficulties originated, after a careful investigation of the tacts obtained from tho whits ?nd colored citi? zens of said county, I most respectfully beg leave to make the following report ? JA Beems that for somo time past ono John isa icc, a. colored citizen of Unioa County, has Chimed to be an officer, ordering large bodies of armed colored men to assemble and -kill, marching and countermarching in different portions of the county, practicing target shoot? ing and often discharging firearms on the oub? lie highways, thereby causing tho white citi? zens to apprehend danger to their persons and pro port y und to protest against such proceed? ings, making no objections to the colored men meeting, provided they met manned. It also appears teat John Bates orders colored men to guard him from place to place, and at night many of them going from eight to ten miles to guard him, thus causing valuable time to be lost to the employers, and detrimental to the employee* and faming interest in that vicinity. On the morning of the 26th ultimo, a difficul? ty occurred between a white and colored citizen at Santuc depot in Union County, which resulted in the white mau being cut by the colored man. Another colored man drew his pistol ut the same time upon the white citizens TI ho did all they could 11 quiet the difficulty instead of encouraging it, which I think is greatly in their favor, and showed thoy desired peace. On the same afternoon the colored men be? gan to assemble at tho depot, many being armed, coming in armed squads. After they arrived all who were not armed returned some one hundred yards from the depot and cut large clubs. The white citizens, seeing this and fearing a difficulty, requested the colored persons to disperse, pledging net to molest Bates on his arrival, but tne colored men swore they would not leave until John Bates arrived. On the arrival of tho train, Bates' guard met him, and after some words between him and a white man, in which both declared they were for peace, they started io different directions, when a gun was discharged from the ranks of Bates' guard. Some declared to me that it was accidental; others say purposely, and that someone call-, d out at thu same time, 'D-n you, if you want a lieut, conic on." At this rime the white men were standing with their backs to tho guard, whereupon thoy turned and fired, wounding several of the. guard and dispersing them. One ot the guard is severely wounded in tho thigh, and said that he would not have been there if Bates had not ordered him to meet him, having promised them bacon, at the same timo saying that your Excellency was to furnish him with ton tnousand pounds to feedtffte Union League, f examined several of thejBjolored men, and find that no reason can be given for their armed meetings, except that Bates orders them, und they must ob ;y him. On Saturday, after the riot, some three huu dred assembled at Santuc, macy being armed. At the same time the citizens of that vicinity assemDlcd at Santuc depot, and sent a peace delegation to the colored men. desiring them to send ont peace delegates to settle the difficulty. After discussing tho matter, each party agreed to meet bi tho future without arms, and that LO one should go armed at any public meet? ing, the white citizens ploJging themselves not to interfere with any meetings, or with John Bates. In the evening Bates arrived, and said peace was made without consulting him, and with? out his orders, and that it should not stand, whereupon a number of negroes went as Bates directed, utterly disregarding the agreement they had "signed" in the morning, and on thc next day (Sunday) Bates was escorted through the county with an armed guard numbering from fourteen to twenty. I met somo colored men who stated ihat Bates would not allow them to stand to the treaty. . I am perfectly satisfied that ono of the causes of the recent troubles in Union County grew out of assembling of largo bodies of colored men, thereby causing many white citiz. na to ann themselves, who, under other circum? stances, would have been unarmed ; aud I am satisfied it is for tho iutotest of both races and the peace of tho county that all armed demon? strations should bo sup^r^-bed immediately, 1 made no arrests, believing it better to* re? port ths case to your Excellency, and for you to take such further action as you deem ne? cessary. I also submit to you several ain?avitB bear? ing on the facts. 1 could have obtained many others, but did not consider it neceesarv. (Sigued) JOHN B. HUBBARD, State Constable. FURTH E.R BY MAIL. THE DEBATE ON THE DISCBISnN'ATION DILL ITS HISTOBX-A BOLD AND SENSIBLE SPEECH Bf DADDY. CAIN-THE REPOST OP THE STATE CONSTABLE ON THE 6 ANT CC AFFRAY. [FROS OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, September 3, 1868.-As yon have already been informed by telegraph, the Dis crinvnation bill, or more appropriately the so? cial equality bill, passed the Senate to-day in a modified form. The discussion yesterday and to-day attracted largo crowds to the Senate chamber, and as this bill and its probable futo have exoited more or less interest throughout the State for several weeks past, a brief history of the measure may not provo unacceptable to your readers. The first bill, to prevent discrimination on account of color, &c, originated in the House of Representatives, passod thrco readings in that body, and was sent to the Senate. It was an extreme, impracticable moisure, and the moro sensible Republicans in tho Senate at once determined to modify its features. With this view, Corbin introduced a substitute which was simply a re-enactment of thc United States Civil Rights bill. This did not suit the extremists, and Swails, colored senator from Williamsburg, introduced as an amendment to the substituto the most objectionable section of the old bill, which was in these wordB : "Section 2. That it shall not be lawful for any party, or parties, engaged in any business, calling or pursuit, for the carrying on of which a public license or charter is required by any law or ordinance, to discriminate between per? son on account of race, color or previous con? dition, when snch persons shall mako lawful application for tho benefit of such business, call? ing or pursuit." This was upsetting all the work of the substitute, so Corbin tried to get round it by offering thc following substitute for thc amendment: "That it shall not bc lawful in granting licenses to any party or parties to on gage iu any business, calling or pursuit, for tho carrying on of trhich a public license or charter is required by any law or ordinance, to discriminate between persons on account of race, color or previous condition, who si make lawful application for the benefit of si business, calling or pursuit." These i amendments were offered on Friday last, t they have been fighting over them ever eh until to-day. Ye3terday Whittemore introdui the following amendment as a substitute for : amendment offered by Swails : "It shall not lawful for common carriers in the carriage passengers or freight to discriminate botwe [.-.ions on account of race, cobr or previc condition1." This was lost-ayes 12. nays 13. ' day, after a very lengthy and heated disci sion, the vote on Whittemore's amendment w reconsidered, and it was adopted as the section of the bill, and Corbin's amendment the 3d section, and the bill passed to a th reading in the following form : A BILL to protect all persons in the State in th civil righto, and furnish tue means of thiir vi di ca rion. Whereas, by the first section of Article I th Constitution, it ia declared that all mon a born free and equal, endowed by their Crest with certain inalienable rights, among whi are the rights of enjoying and defending the lives and liberties, of acquiring, possessii and protecting property, and of seeking ai obtaiuing their safety and happiness. And whereas, by the thirty-ninth section Article I of the Constitution, it is further d dared that distinction on account of race i color, in any case whatever, shall be prohir, ted, and all classes of citizens shall enjo equally, all common, public, legal and politic privileges; therefore, SECTIOK L Be it enacted, dc, That all pe sons born in the United States, and being i this State, uot subject to auy foreign powe excluding Indians not taxed, ore hcroby decln ? ed to h? citizens of the State of South, Oarollni and such citizens, of every race and c?!or, witl out Tv gard to any previous condition if slavei or involuntary servitude, except as a punisl ment for crimo wh.rsolthe party shall hav Leon duly convicted, shall have the same rigl to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be pai ties and give evidence, to inherit, purchaa? lease, sell, hold und convey real and persons property, and to full enjoyment and equ i 1 ben< fit of alf laws and proceedings for the socurit of porsona and propo. ty as is enjoyed by whit citizens, and shall be subject to like punish ment, pains and penalties, and to none othei any law, statute, ordinance, regulation or cut tom to the contrary notwithsta jding. SEO. 2. That it shall not be lawful for com mon carriers, in the carriage of passengers o freight, to d1 'riminate between persons o account of rai". color or previous condition. SEC. 3. That it shall not be lawful in gra?t ing licenses to 'ny porty or parties to engag in any business, calling or pursuit for the cai rying on ot which a public license or charter i required by any law or ordinance, to discrimi nate between persons on account of race, colo or piovious condition, who shall make lawfn application for tho benefit of such business calling ur pursuit. SEC. 4.

SEC. 5. All acts or parts ot acts, and all or? dinances or parts of ordinances of any city town or village of this State, inconsistent wi tl. this act or suppked by it, ai o boreby repealed. The reading of the bill tho thitd time in th? Senate is a moro matter of CD irse, and it wil then go to tho Hjuse. Its modified form wil not be acceptable to that progressive body Tho difference of tho viows of Senate and House is too great to be obviated by a commit teo of conference, and an early adjournmonl being now probable, tho bill may be regard?e as dead to ail intents and purposes for the pre' sent session at least. The speech of Cain, colored senator from Charleston, or as ho is more familiarly known in the city which he represent?, Daddy Cain, was a remarkable speech. It displayed an amount of ability, knowledge, foresight, mode? ration and sound sense, of which no white man need have felt ashamed. In the Senate ol South Carolina of tho olden time, where elo? quent and learned mon were numerous, it would not have been regarded as a great effort, but even there many worse spec-mes were made; and ia this "omnium gatherum" of ig? norance and dishonesty, it was refreshing to hear a man talk as if he understood his sub? ject-as if Lo had purposes and motived above tbe petty issues of the hour. lu opening his speech he said that he want? ed it distinctly understood, once for all, that he was opposed to social equality. He did not in? tend ever to enter any other man's parlor with? out an invitation, and ho would not allow any man to enter his parlor unless he was invited. He said that prejudices could not bo l?gislatif away. He had his prejulices, and tb't?ycoui? not bo legislated out of his bosom. Tho bill was untimely, Unwise ?md injudicious. This was a timo o? wonderful polit ?cal excitement and revolution. In five years five mULon of people had risen up from acouditionof slavery and degradation. Five yoars ago they had been as cattle, bartered and sold. To-day, by tho acts of tho gonerals of tho armies; by the acts of thc Legislatures; by the proclamations of the President; by tho acta of Congress, Ihey were hued upon the plain of citizenship, with equal civil and political right9 with every othen American citizen. To pass this bill would simply be to re-declare what Congress had al? ready promulgated as law. If the law was passed, still tho only redress in a republican can government would be by application to the courts, for any other redress would be a violation of law, and tho courts themselves would evaio any impracticable law of social equality. A nation could not be forced. Histo? ry proved that where there was deep-rooted prejudice iu the mind of a people, it was not to be overcome by legislation, but by gradually trainiug and educating tai meat;, .it nierai nature to that high standard which knew no prejudice. He had beforo seen ihe elephant of American prejudice suddenly show his tusks, shako his inane, throw up his trunk, and crush out opposition in a moment, (un? der this essentially African simile, he probably referred to tho New York riots.) You mignt chain a lion, but you cannot change him. It was said m Holy Writ that the Ethiopian changes not his skin, nor the leopard his spots. Could they then expect to make Massa? chusetts men out of South Carolinians iu a day? Those South Carolinians had their prejudices, the prejudices of two hundred years. Thoy were proud men, naturally so. They had been monai'chs of all they Burvcycd, and no man dared disputo their rights. Not even Massachusetts dared dispute them. When Massachusetts sent her men to South Carolina to plead the cause of equal rights they were thrown into jail and told to d apart hastily, flo know that those days were passed, and, he hoped, passed never to return, but that only showed how much they had already gained, and warned them not to ris t what they already possessed in tho too cager grasping after.more. Ho claimed to have some deference for the opinion of men how? ever much opposed to him in matters of legis? lation. He had been called an incendiary. The accusation had been mado in the public prints. It had even been insinuated by some that it would be better for the world if ho were out of it. But with all that he claimed no right for tho black man which the white man did not possess. Poor and ignorant as he was, there were some things which could not be crammed down his thi oat. He would not admit every man into his house to associate with him and his wife and daughters. He would guard with vigilance his domicil. He would allow no man, white or black, to infringe his rights, and he expected white men to have tho same care for their bornes, their families, their rights. This bill would produce nothing but strife and un? settledness, and was detrimental to the best in? terests of his race. He believed that honesty was the best policy, and that ho was the best friend of his race who would tell them the truth. He believed that he was telling them the truth when ho told them that this bill was wrong, impolitic, unwise, uncalled for, untime? ly and injudicious. He was not afraid to go to his constituents with his record on this ques? tion. The common people were not such fools as some of their legislators. From his expe ri enco it would have boen better to take men from the rice fields and send them to Colum? bia, instead of somo they had sent from oth er places. He then concluded with a porcoration about the good timo coming after the election of Grant and Colfax, whoa tho white man and black mon would join hands and all work to? gether for the recuperation of tho State and the glorification of the nation. Wright, black senator from Beaufort, who had heretofore disdained to take part in the debate as useless, so sure waa he that the bill Would puss, now felt called upon to exert his mighty eloquence. He delivered a bombastic harangue about tho swe>*', blood and corpses of negro troops, which he said were crying aloud for the passage of the bill. He said be waa always ior avoiding danger, but if the de? mand for their rights brought war, why let it come 1 Well, I can vouch for his disposition to avoid danger, having once seen him run across a street very much alarmed, because on the pavement where ho was walking a negro boy, throwing a brick at another, missed him and hit a gentleman, and Wright thought and said aloud, "Somebody are g wine to be shot hyar." But as /or letting war come, and standing up to it if it did, you could'nt see his coat-tails, be would mn so fast. Randolph made ono or more of his stupid, vindictive speeches, and nearly everybody had something to say, on one side or the other, un? til the matter was decided as I have above de? scribed. Meanwhile, they were having a lively time among the members of the Lower House. The discussion in the Senate attracted so many of them that it was almost impossiblo to carry on business up stairs, and finally they had to ad? journ about half-post two P. M., an hour earlier than usual. Before they adjourned, however, Byass, the stupid fellow who used to make himself so ridiculous in tho Reconstruction Convention, and is now assistant sergeant-al? arms of the House, got offended at DeLarge, who is tho Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, and was engaged in business of the committee at the time, because he would not instantly leave his business and follow him; rushed up stairs and reported that DeLarge re? fused to obey tho orders of tho House. The consequence was an order to arrest DeLarge. But this proved not to bo an easy or a pleasant job for thi sergeant and his assistant. De Large cursed the sergeant, who is a white man named Camp, from Sparenburg, ex-mem? ber Reconstruction Convention, in language I will not disgrace your columns by ropoating, and told him that if he did not let him go he would kill him. Camp let him go, but instruct? ed Byass to keop an eye on him. DeLarge would not lot Byass come near him, so tho honorable assistant sergeant-at-urms kopt trailing the honorable Chairman of the Com? mittee of Ways and Means up and down the street, and around town generally, until at five o'clock, to which hour the House had taken a recess. He brought him up at his scat just in front of the spea/orV chair, then a scone took place which beggars description. De? Large became violent, and was pat out. Ho was allowed to come back and make bis defence, and ho mide it with a ven? geance, denouncing the carpel-baggers, who, lie said, had caused his arrest, and moved a vole of censure because' they had a spite against him for voting to sustain the Governor's veto of the Charleston charter and election bill. Elliott made a bitter reply, and tho whole afternoon session was wasted in a ridicu? lous and disgusting manner, the subject being finally r??cJTea" to a committee Of inquiry. After DeLarge had made his defence, he Walk? ed about tho Houso looso in an excited, ner? vous manner. Some ono told him that Crews (white), of Laurens, had been spreading tho report that he was drunk. This enraged him, and he went up to Clews, who was standing at his desk, nearly in front of the Speaker, and leaning across tho dosk shook hia finger in his face and told him that he was "a d-d lying scoundrel." Crewa, who had eaid DeLargo waa drunk because ho thought that was a charitable construction of his conduct, now got enraged iu his turn, and went out of the Houso in au excited and hur? ried manner. DeLarge followed, :nd I wont to see the fuD. Crews waB standing at the bottom of the stairway aa pale as a sheet. DeLarge waa at the top. Aa I went out De Largo said to Crewe, "If yen gone down there to fight you can get much o' that aa you want,'' and that mado out aa if he was going after Crews, but took good caro not to go. Ic then told CrewB that if he told any moro lies on him he would slap his face. He then wo at back to the Houso.

Thia is the familiar question pat to every invalid. In many cases the answer ls, "I don't know exactly, but I don't feel well." Look at the countenance o the man or woman who make* this reply, and you will generally find that the eyes are dull and lustre lesB, the complexion sallow, the cheeks flaccid, and the whole expression of tbe face dejected. Interro? gate the invalid more closely, and you wiU discover that constipation, the result of a dis ordered stomach and a torpid liver, ia at thc bottom of the mischief. "That's what's the matter."
