VOLUME VT.-NUMBER 940.] CHARLESTON, S. C., THURSDAY MORMNG, SEPTEMBER '?t 1868. EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK TEE KEWS FOR THE CAMPAIGN GREAT imVCEMENTS TO CLUBS. The importance of the great political con? test upon which we have now fairly entered renders the dissemination among the people of sound pol?tica 1 views and accurate and ear? ly information of the progress and inoidents of the canvass, a matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who has any stake in the welfare of these Southern Stat ea, should give an active, personal and un? flagging support to the candidates of the National Democracy- SEOODE and Buna. A triumph of the Badicals will result in the utter desolation and' ruin of the South, and th9 placing of an ignorant and brutal race in all positions and places of honor and trust, to the exclusion of the white race. The govern? ment must he 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 for white men, and not for negroes. It is only necessary that the peo? ple should be thoroughly informed to accom? plish this, and THE NEWS will bean admirable means of -diffusing thia information. In order to place, the paper within the reach of all, we have adopted a scale of reduced rates of sub Ecrintion for the four months covering the Prc elden tial canvass, and offer besides peculiar indacaments for the formation of clubs. We are determined that THE NEWS shall he the cheapest and best newspaper in the South. Its blows will fall thickly, steadily and rapidly; and if the friends of law, order and the Con? stitution do their duty by extending its circu? lation, ita labors can be made powerfully effec? tive for good. Weappeal, then, to our readers to examine our remarkably low terms, and go to w nrk with a will to get up large clnbs for THE CHABLESTOK NEWS. SATES FOB THE CAMPAIGN KEWS.

[FEB ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.] ANOTHER SPEECH BT HON. BEVEBDX JOHNSON TN ENGLAND-FAVORABLE COMMENTS OF THE LON? DON THIES. LONDON, September 5.-Yesterday the Hon. Be ver dy Johnson, the American Minister, deliv? ered another speech in Sheffield. -This speech was in reply to an address presented by the corporate authorities of the city. Mr. John? son said be anticipated no trouble in the dis? charge of the duties of his position, so far as the preservation of peaceful relations be? tween the United States and England was Concerned; but the high and deserved repu? tation achieved by bis illustrious predeces? sor, Mr. Adams, hal made difficult the task of succeeding him with equal acceptability. The highest aim of his mission would be to do as well. The speaker repeated wast he had said to the cutlers yesterday, viz : That a rup? ture of the friendly relations now existing be? tween the United States and Great Britain would be impossible, on account of the identi? ty of race, langaage, institutions and aspira? tions. The character of Queen Victoria also precludes the possibility of such a rupture. Mr. Johnson denied the assertion of Mr. Boe? buck, one of the members of the House of Commons from Sheffield, that the people of the United States are heterogeneous. Ha main? tained that the foreign emigrants who have landed on the American shores were all merged into one great nation, which nation was Eng? lish, and contended that they did not vitiate the community by importing vices with them. The London Times this morning has a lengthyjjjjftorial on the subject of Mr. John? son's recent speeches in Sheffield. The Times comments favorably cn his declarations regard? ing the heterogeneousness of the American people, and thinks that the people of the Unit? ed States areas mach an English unit as the people of England, where Irish, Scotch, French and Germans make so large a share of the population. Eaferring incidentally to the general elec? tions soon to occur in England, the Times says: "Whatever may he the result of these elec? tions, the same reciprocity of feeling between . the United States and Great Britain is certain to ensue." THE ALAR ?Ml CLAIMS. LONDON, September 5.-The Standard of last evening contained an editorial article on the relations of the United States and Great Bri? tain. The non-sattlement of the Alabama daims the writer considers no fault of Eng? land's. England is always ready to settle dis? putes, and always ready to return friendship. America could not complain if the interna? tional relations were not as friendly and agree? able as could be desired, for England has al? ways been more disposed to a real alliance than the United States have. . OBEAT FTBE. SOUTHAMPTON, September 5.-A fire broke out last ? night among the shipping in the Southampton docks. Much available property ?758. destroyed. It is impossible to estimate the loss, bat it will be very heavy. AFFAIRS IS FRANCE AND HOME. PAMS, September 5.-Tho Constitutione!, a semi-official imperialist organ, in its issue of last evening, repeats, ia the strongest manner possible, its assurance of permanent peace. ROME, September 5.-Count Sartiges, the French Minister, yesterday had an audience with the Pope, presented bis letters of recall, and took formal leave. THE LATEST. LONDON, September 8.-The race between the Sapbo and Aline will come off. Advices from the astronomers who observed the late groat eclipse ia the East are very sat? isfactory. Many photographs of different phases of the phenomena were obtained. The Times ha6 an article on Indian affairs. It commends the American policy as one ol consideration and forbearance between con? tending races, bat so costly as not to be mucb longer pursued. LTVEBPOOL, September 8.-The ship R. H. Tucker, from this port for Boston, is ashore off the Irish coast, with the sea running high. The crew are still on board. Our "Washing to a Dispatcher. WASHINGTON, September 8.-Andrew J. King has been appointed inspector of tobicco, sn off and cigala for the Fourth North Carolina Dis? trict, vice Lug?, suspended. > Mcculloch lind Rollins had another fruitless consultation to-day over the appointment of supervisors. There was a full Cabinet meeting to-day, ex? cept Browning and Evans. The revenue to-day was only twu hundred and fifty-four thousand. Tobacco manufacturera from Richmond, Bal? timore, Philadelphia and New York are still here, urging the establishment of bonded to? bacco warehouses in those cities. The ware? houses will be established. The delay has been occasioned by the difficulty attending the selection of suitable buildings and the decis? ion regarding the nu m bar of such warehouses in each city. One million and a quarter of bonds were is? sued to-day to the Union Pacific Railroad, ma? king the total to date twelve million. The government is paying thirty-two thousand dollars per mile as the road progresses. Rear Admirals Stringbam and Bell, and Gen. Simpson, of the Engineer Corps, compose the board authorized by Congress to examine the feasibility of bridging Boston harbor. Benjamin A. Pritchard has been appointed revenue assessor at Richmond, Ya., vice Jebb, resigned. The Bureau functionary of Arkansas has for? bidden the use of negro school-houses erected by the Burean for political or religious meet? ings of any kind. The Chancery Court of Toronto, in deciding tba case of postoffice stamps captured by the Florida, sold in Europe, and sent to Canada for sale, and ultimately seized by the United States, declared that ali property ciptnred by the Confederates during the war, no matter where found, or by whom held, is the property of the United States.

There are no particulars. Th? Tennessee Mill tin Bill. NASHVILLE, TENN., September 8.-It seems conceded that the militia bill is dead.

BuEUNOTON (VT.), September 8.-Complete returns have been received from all but six small towns, and the Republican majority EO far foots up 26,774.

H.), September 8.-Ex-Presi? dent Franklin Pierce is dangerously ill. The Alabama Cotton Crop. MON TOOKEE?, ALA., September 8.-The cot? ton receipts at this place for the first week of the season amount to 1268 bales. The damage by the worm and the rain is not so great as was anticipated.

Her cargo will be saved in a dam? aged condition. FROM WASHINGTON. THE EXCLUSION OF NEGBOES FB02I THE GEOBGIA LEGISLATURE. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes under date of September 6th: The action of the Georgia House of Delegates in excluding negroes from that body on the ground of ineligibility, has produced no sur? prise here, as it was known here in advance that the movement would be made under the dictation of the Rudi cal committee of Congress? men, who consider that such action would be a trump card in the Nortborn canvass, as show? ing the Radical party was not favorable to negro equality. ID required a great deal of backing and rilling before the carpet-baggers of Georgia could be induced to move in the matter, as they pro ft 3 sed to see ia it noth? ing but their own political overthrow. In re? sisting the proposition they urged that the ne? groes would easily understand that they were being used merely as tools and would turn from them in disgust and join the Democracy. This loss, however, was regarded insignificant when compared to the great advantage arising to the Radical party in the North to be ablo to demonstrate to the masses that the Demo? cratic speakers bod when they charged I heir opponents with favoring negro equality. This is the key to the action of tbe Georgia Legisla? ture, and the Radical wire-workers are chuck? ling over it as one of the smartest tricks of the canvass. How will their colored allies rel? ish it? The correspondent of tie Baltimore Sun says : It ia reported that General Schenck has tel? egraphed or written to parties hore to the ef effect that in his opinion it would not be ad-* visable for Confess to hold a session before December. Senator Morgan is reported as concurring with General Scheuck in this opin? ion, and if so there will certainly bo no quorum in either House on the 21st inst. Some parties have suggested a session be? cause of the action of the Georgia Legislature in the expulsion of colored me tn bo rs of that body, but upon consideration of the matter they conclude that the power of Congress to grant any relief to the expelled negroes, or to take legislative action on the subject is ques? tionable, to say the least, if, indeed, it be not clear that the National Legislature has no ju? risdiction or ooalrol over the action of tue State Legislature in this particular case. Tho belief gains ground daily that we shall not have a September session.

THE LEGISLATIVE PB0CEEDIKG3 TESTEBDAY WILLIAMS DECLINES THE LEMME-PASSAGE OF THE CHATHAM RAILROAD BILL Di THE SENATE -THE REPUBLIC .N STATE CONVENTION-TH E BOWEN AND JENK3 FACTIONS-BENOMIN ATION OF WHITTEMORE-POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Tho Republican State Convention mot in the Representative's Hall at 5 o'clock this after? noon, one hundred and twenty delegates being present. Elliott was made temporary chair? man; Dennis and Swhrewsherry were ap? pointed secretaries. Mash excitement waa caused by the opposing claims for admission of the Bowen and Jenks factions from Charles? ton. Jcnko protested against Monee, as a friend of Bowen, being appointed on the Com? mittee on Credentials. Without farther action the convention adjourned. Whittemoro was to-day renominated for Congress hy the delegation for the First Con? gressional District, Rainey having withdrawn. The nomination of four colored men for Con? gress, in to-day's Phoenix, has caused a great hubbub in the Radical camp here. The negroes are evidently growing restive under the rule of the carpet-baggers. LATEE-Ten T. M.-At the night session of the Convention, the Committee on Credentials made a report in favor of admitting the Bowen delegation from Charleston. The report was adopted.

AN LSSTANCE OF SOUTHERN MERCANTILE CANDOR.-The Baltimore Sun, of Monday, says : ' The following is an extract from a letter of a merchant Of Columbia, Soufh Carolina, in re? ply to a letter froai a merchant of this city, offering him such assistance in credit as his business might require. His reply affords an illustration of the straightened condition of so many in the South, though the business mon of Columbia, which waB burned in the war, have, no doubt, been under a more severe stress than the mercintile communities of other Southern towns not thus afflicted. The letter affords certainly a golden exhibition of honesty and candor. The disposition not to use credit where vt cannot be made profitable is one which distinguishes those whose trans? actions are conducted on proper moral and bu? siness principles, and we doubt not is charac? teristic of the merchants of the South general? ly. When business remes in the South, an event which tho promising crops of the pre-ent season afford reason to hone may not be dis? tant, consumers will be able to make pur? chases, and such men as the frank and up? right writer of tne subjoined will be in the en joymentof such confidence from others as to have all the asnal facilities of credit as far as he may desire : "If things were as they were before the war, I could always borrow sufficient to meet pressing necessities, and enable me to keep up my credit * * * * They say I have a capital of from three to five thousand dollars, and doing a fair business and making a living. In every particular this is false. I have no capi? tal at all. I have a house to live in and two burnt lots. These I cannot dispos . of for any? thing like what they are worth in the preseut impoverished condition of the country. I am doing so little busiuess that I had no income tax to pay, which is a proof cf that. I have not made "a support, or 1 would not have been com? pelled to dispose of my furniture to Uve on. As far as credit is concerned, I have been re? fused it f.\.m those at the North with whom I did business before the war, and to whom I did not owe a cent. The amount 1 asked of them all was not three hundred dollars. If I had been compelled to pay rent 1 do not know what I should have done. As it is, I see little chance but t'.mt my little property must be sold to pay taxes. 1 am at present unable to pay thom. I trust that something may turn up to relieve us. I feel much o'diced to you for your very kind offer of credit, but I cannot accept, for I see no chance of paying in a reasonable time, and I am unwilling to con? tribute to drag you down to my level through my inability to pay." THE REPORTED TALK WITH GEN. FOBBEST. (ien. Forrest has addressed the following letter to the correspondent of the Cincinnati Com? mercial, whoso letter was printed in our last issue : MEMPHIS, September 3,18C8 -I have just re? ceived your letter published in the Commer? cial, giving a report of ouV conversation on Friday last. I do not think\>u would inten? tionally misrepresent me, but you have done so, as I suppose, because you hive misunder? stood my meaniug. The portions of your let? ter t ) w?iicb I ojject are corrected in the fol? lowing paragraphs : 1 promise the Legislature my personal influ? ence and aid in maintaining order and enforc? ing the laws. I have never advised the people to resist any law, but to submit to thc laws un? til they l e corrected by lawful legislation. I said the militia bill would occasion no troublo unless they violated the law by carrying out the Governor's proclamation, which ? believe to be unconstitutional and in violation ot the law, in shooting meu down without a trial, as recommended by that proclamation. I said it was reported, and I believed the report, that there are fortv thousand Ku-Klux in Tennes? see, and that I believed the organization was stronger in other States. 1 meant simply, when I said that the Ku-Klux recogn ?zed the Federal Government, that they would obey all S ato laws, and tuat they would recognize ah laws, and will obey them (so I have been in? formed) in protecting peaceable citizens from oppression coming from any quarter. I did not say that every man s house was pi-kettel, and I did not mean to convey the idea that I would raise troops. More thau "that, no mau could do it in five days, even if they were organized. I cannot consent to remain silent in the mat? ter; for If I did so, under an in orrect impres? sion of my personal views, I might be looked upoj as desiring a conflict, when, in truth, 1 am so adverse to anything of tho kind that I will mako any honorable sacrifice to avoid it. Hoping that I may have this explanation placed before your readers, I remain, very re? spectfully, N. B. FORREST. THE STRIKE IN NEW YORK-The Ne iv York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, writ? ing on Friday evening, says : The master masons had their UBual meeting this af cern jon. A Mr. Rose stated that he had been informod that the bricklayers on Booth's new theatre had been paid oft this morning as eight-hour men, and were informed that if they came to work again it must be at ten hours. This was received with a round of applause. It was also reported that a similar proceeding had take a place at the new building in course of erection at the corner of Broadway and Elev? enth-street. Several builders reported that they had more tou-hour men now than they wanted. A Mr, Webb Bald that ho had only four hands last week, but now ho had moro than he had employment for. Before adjourning, the usual resolution to employ none but ten-Hour men .vas unanimously adopted. FLORIDA BANKRUPT.-There were but six dol? lars in the Florida treasury wheu the conten? tious convention made its draft for pay, ($30,000). and tho present expense of rho re? constructed government is at the rate of over half a million per annum. Each member of the Legislature receives $500 per annum, irre? spective of the length of the session, aud ten cents mileage, to and fro. Tho first adjourned session took $33,500 for legislative pay alone. The little State cauuot staud it. To ra:so money the Floridians are being mortgaged in their every possess.on. Eeforo the war they were worth $13,101,500; now not over one-third, of that amouut. Turee per cent. State tax ou this, with nothing coming in, and Federal taxes added, is now their lot. THE COLCMBU FIRE.-On Sunday morning a fire broke out in the grocery store ot Ur. P. Cautwell, on Piain-street, which, together with its contents, was entirely destroyed. The flames communicated to the adjoining building on the east, occupied as a jewelry store by air. J. Wehrhan, which was partially burnt. The origin of the fire is thought to have been acci? dental. The loss from tire, water and removal of goods is about as follows: P. Cantwell, store and stock, $G000; insured for $3200. Dr. E. E. Jackson, drugs, $800; insured. G. Goodman, clothing, $500. J. Wehrhan, jewelry, $200. Mr. Cantwell has already commenced removing the rubbish, preparatory to rebuilding.-Jflicuntx. THE ?IO> E Y IUULM . The Sweetheart and th? W ife. Listen to the savage words of the Saturday Review, as it discusses "Man and bis Disen chanter." It says : He certainly has put his foot in il, and yet it seems incredible that a month can hare "done it all. There is a Btrange irony in the contrast between the honeymoon of his fancy and the honeymoon of fact. There has been very little Of the expected alternation of carcases and ro? mance. The angel has, from the very outset, turned into a spoilt child. After so many months of compulsory good behavior, of un checkered sunshine, it is an immense luxury to her to find herself free to live her natural little Ufe of pouting and petting. And so she brings to the paradise of expected bliss the frowns and the sulks of the nursery. She takes out her freedom in a thousand ciprices, and tempers, and whims. But, after all, hope isn't killed in an hour, and it is possible to be patient. The real difficulty is to be en? tertaining. The one thiret o? the young brido is for amusement, and abo has no notion of amusing herself. If she yawns, if she feels sleepy and bored, she looks on the breakdown of the vague anticipations with which she mar? ried as an injustice and a wrong. It is amuse ing to 3ee tho spouse of this ideal creature wend his way to the lending library after a week of idealism, and the relief with which he carries home a novel. But the novels are last season's nov?la, and life is soon as dreary as before. How often in those nights of expecta? tion has he framed to himself imaginary talks over the fire, talk brighter and wittier than that of the friends he forsakes 1 But conver? sation is difficult in the case of a refined crea? ture who ie as ignorant as a Hottentot. He begins with the new Miltonic poem, and finds sh9has never looked into "Paradiso Lost." He plunges into the Beform bill, but she known nothing of politics, and han never read a lead? ing article in her life. He tries music, and she kindles a little at the thought of hearing Nilsson again next season, at least if there is a royal princess in the house. Then she tries her hand in turn, and floods him with the dead chat ct Mwn, and oceans of family tattle. He finds himself shut up for weeks with a creature who takes interest in nothing but Uncie Crosspatch's temper and the scandal about Lady X. Little by little in that fatal honeymoon the absolute petti? ness, the dense dullness, of woman's life breaks on the disenchanted devotee. His deity is without Occupation, without thought, witliout resource. He has a faint faith loft in her finer sensibility, in her poetic nature; he fetches his Teniyson from the carpet-bag, and wastes In Memoriam on a oritic who pronounces it '.pretty." He still takes her love of caresses as a sign of an affection passing the love of men, and he unfolds to her his hope that a year or two more may give him the chance of a retreat into the country and a quice life of conjugal happiness. The confession startles the blighted being into a real interest at last. She has not escaped from the dullness of the nursery to plunge into the dullness of homo. She amuses herself with her spouse's indiffer? ence to all that makes lifo worth the living. But then meo are such odd creatures, so Quixotic, so unpractical, so romantically blind to.t ho actual necessities of life ! It is this idle? ness, (his boredom of the honeymoon, that be? gets dreams BO absurd, so fanciful. The dear, odd creature must be got back to town, to his business, to his books, and the honeymoon must end. It is time, in fact, that it did end, for boredom has dono its work, and the disen? chantment of man is c?mplete. One sees dimly, as the honeymoon ends, what an immense advantage this poetic being has gained over her prosaic spouse in the cooi Eleteness of her previous study of tho position, a the piesence of his confused dreams her practical well-arranged plan of Ufo gives her a lead that she means to keep. She is reason? able, of course, ready to lipton to objections if those objections are based on a plan not abso? lutely romantic and absurd. But tho hard, coarse, masculine creature refuses to reason, and buries himself in the Times. Reasoning, calculating, planning-this was the very life from which he had fled to fling himself into the arms of his ideal. He ia mystified, puz? zled, indignant. His dim conceptions of im? aginative woman float Badly away, but they leave him no formula to which he can reduce this hard cynical being who has taken her place at his fireside. Woman, on the other hand, is far from being puzzled or mystified. It is part of her faith that she thoroughly understands her husband. There is a traditional theory of spouses that one feminine generation hands down to another, and into this theory ho is simply fitted. While he was flinging away his last cigar, and confessing bis worldliness and unworthiness, she was taking from mamma a series of practical instructions in the great ait of managing a husband. Thc art is some? what like the Egyptian art of medicine; it is purely traditional, and it assumes a certain ab? solute identity in the patients, which the pa? tients obstinately deny. Buc woman clings to it with a perfect "faith, and meets with it every problem of domestic life. She knows the exact temper m which her spouse had better be in? duced to go to the club; she knows the peculiar mood in which he had better be let alone. The same frivolous creature who lay sulking on a sofa because the honeymoon was dull, wastes tho patience and skill of a diplomatist iii whee? dling her husband out of his season on the m xu-s. Her life is full of difficult questions which nothing but tact and time can solve-questions like the great question of husbands' friends, or the greater question of husbands' dinners. The exact proportion in which his old acquaintanc? es may be encouraged to relieve him of the senso of boredom at vome, without detaching him absolutely from it; the preciso bounds within which his taste f jr a good dinner would be satisfied without detriment to that little bill at the milliner's-these arc the problems which the poetic nature is turning over as she bids farewell to the honeymoon. Tho poor iron pot has no particular fear now of the possible con? sequences of a collision with the fine porcelain. He tinda himself floating which ever way he is guided; wheedled, managed, the husband-as women tell him-of an admirable wife. He does his weary round of work, pumping up the means for carrying.out her admirable projects ot social existence. But the dreams, the ro? mance, the poetry, the sentiment-"where," as tho song runs, "where is last winter's snow?" He things sometimes of other things that turn? ed to dust with the ashes of that last cigar. Is there anything more poetic than woman? Is mere anything more prosaic than man? rpHE KEOWEE COURIER, PUbLISHED IN WALHALLA, S. C., BY BOBERT YOONG k CO. WHITNER 8YMMES, Editor; ROBERT YOUNG, Publisher.

Tho semi-annual shaking in the Fever and Ague dis? tricts has begun. The fogs of the e autumn nights and mornings are su-charged with the elements of intermittent and bilious ramittent fevers, and, un? fortunately , two-thirds of the community are Just in tho condition to be disastrously affected by them . Those who have been prudent enough to fortify themselves during the summer with that powerful and infallible vegetable lnvigorant, HOaTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, are forearmed against m ala? ria, and ha"-, nothing to fear. But health is the last thing too_many thin'; about In the pursuit of gain or pleasure th' blessing, without which wealth is dross and enjoyneat impossible, is neglected. Better lat? tuan never is a cons latory proverb, however, and all who begin to feel the premonitory symptoms of any of the epidemics which are en? gendered by tho malaria of autumn, shonl J immedi? ately resort to the GREAT ANTIDOTE OP THE AGE. A few doses of the BI TIERS will break up the chills and prevent their recurrence. In every region where intermittents prevail this ptuvst and best of al] vegotablc tonics is indispensable. Of all anti-bilious preparations kno*n it is the most effective and harmless. It docs not stimulate the liver violently, like the mineral salivants, but tonc9, renovates and regulates the organ without creating any general disturbance of the system or entailing any reaction. The BITTERS are essentially a household specific, and should be always within reach as the very best means of preventing and checking bilious attacks and intermittent fevers.
